Hideki fled the opposite direction to Leyim, sticking to right-hand turns and ignoring the call of his unnaturally imbued instincts which tugged him towards the chatter of frantic Hunters. Several passages led directly to company barracks or to the Citadel Foyer but Hideki wasn't looking for either of those. He wasn't heading for an exit. Hunters were swarming around the concrete corridors as the surroundings morphed from stone to steel, he was falling deeper into the construct.
The siren grew far more harsh and angered as he made his way towards the source and further from the predetermined exit. He was now on the hunt for clues, his final chance to search for what meant most to him. Hideki would not face Saboten and Ayame until he knew where to find his son. The Hunters would surely have a clue, at the least. Capturing Kanzen was their primary objective, Sun Toramaru was probably imprisoned in The Citadel, somewhere.
In a slow, low pitched yawn the sirens fell to silence and armoured footsteps became shuffles. Hideki became suddenly aware that a battle was imminent. In front of him, a wooden door shook with a draught and Hunters hid behind it, ready to spring upon him. Hideki was prepared, the bladed fingers of his left arm started to stretch and expand, rivalling the length of Shinji's personal swords. He stepped closer to the door and - with the slightest amount of pressure - slid a single finger through the soft wooden door: the close-combat equivalent of a warning shot.
"Now listen," he said, "put your weapons down. I don't want to fight, you don't want to fight. It would be easi-" A bullet came flying through the wood, embedding itself deep within Hideki's collar. The pain was dull and the warmth of adrenaline spread quickly under the cover of mild panic, eradicating all notions of damage. The door came down quickly after that, as though it had been built from thread. The splinters became weapons to Hideki who tore through Hunter after Hunter, dismissing most with non-fatal blows.
It was a simple process to disconnect the bodies from their meaning, Hideki did his best to avoid this. They had attacked after a warning, they had walked directly into the line of fire and it wasn't his fault if accidents happened. As an ex-soldier, he knew the protocol, you never back down from a fight. They didn't deserve the death sentence but most fell one way or another. It was when cries of pain and screams of anger became the same that he knew he was becoming the enemy.
He had taken more damage than ever before as cautiousness came at a cost. Hideki was missing four of his five human fingers, teeth were shattered and veins had burst beneath the skin. A silver-tipped shotgun in the hands of a weeping soldier was the last weapon standing in the centre of the room, only feet away from the hulking mass of carnage. Surrounding the two of them were the bodies of his friends and his co-workers, cadets armed with axes and handguns.
The lone-survivor asked him, "why are you doing this?" with a broken voice. His wounds almost matched Hideki's perfectly, a limp arm handing straight down. "Do you understand what you're doing? You're killing innocent people!"
"If you retreat now, you can save more lives with medical attention."
"There are penalties we face if we back down! The cadets… We're far more afraid of The Envy than we are of you."
"I gave you a warning, go get help."
"What have your warnings brought other than destruction?" Before Hideki could give a response, the Hunter fired his weapon. Buckshot flew at incredible speeds, diving through thick layers of skin, a concentrated attack on Hideki's throat that almost tore his head from his body. The pain was intense, his vision had blackened but not before a retaliation. His fingers had connected, there was a scream before the dead silence hit his ears and the world around him faded.
An overwhelming sensation of peace soared over Hideki as he found himself in no danger. He could only imagine this was how Saboten had felt himself as he fell into the abyss of his own mind. He was close to death, if not already dead. The Shinigami Lord residing in his soul had finally stepped in and intervened. Mammon, supposed Lord of Possession, was currently keeping Hideki's consciousness on life support and he wasn't too friendly.
Hideki awoke, he knew where he was the minute the darkness faded. This was the so-called Utopia that Saboten had alluded, but to Hideki it looked far more familiar. Under a different name, this was his livelihood, his konbini. At the time he was alone, elbows pressed against the counter, patiently waiting for the next customer in dire need of something convenient. The items remained in the neat and tidy order Hideki was famous for - even the carrier bags held an image of pride. The burgundy couch was fluffed and pillowed, waiting for those who needed a bed for the night, mainly Hideo, bless his soul.
He wasn't a religious man himself but even he could not dismiss this experience as simple hallucination. Hideki was experiencing some level of afterlife, he only hoped his nephew received similar treatment. Alas, the man would never understand, the image of his nephew's tortured corpse remained etched into the back of his eyelids. It was a terrible fate, perhaps the kid was better off than himself.
The man was anxious but for what reason? Was he expecting a visit from Mammon, should he be laying out the nice cutlery? The two of them had conversed before but according to Mammon, their entwined existence was nothing more than a bother for the great Shinigami Lord of Possession. He was reluctant to bestow his gift of power upon the ex-soldier and even after the tremendous pain of the ordeal, certain information was entirely refused. Hideki was simply expected to lift his hands and hope it worked. Needless to say, Mammon was less than interested in their fusion.
Bells chimed a signature melody, welcoming the presence of a new customer. Of course, this was no ordinary stranger but Hideki could not resist the polite temptation calling out, "irasshaimase." The demon was wrapped in a human garb consisting of a large, square hat and trench coat, all black concealing his every shape. He did not appear to have arms, rather empty sleeves that swung alongside his pacing. Between Hideki's triad of aisles, the demon stopped to inspect specific wares: toy guns, phone cards, manga, motor oil and finally, cigarettes.
"How much?"
"Too much, plus half your life." Hideki remarked, "I can recommend a quitting strategy if you want."
Mammon kept his faceless gaze towards the cigarette display behind the counter as Hideki returned to is post, setting up in front of the stranger. Beneath the thin hat, a mask held itself in place. Plain, block coloured off-white. His speech was clear, however, as though it shot out from another, uncovered orifice.
"So," the tricky conversation begins, "what happens now? Life after death, what do I have to do?"
"You have wasted your ability, centring your very survival on physical prowess."
"I don't understand, you've been cryptic since the first day. You gave me armour," he argued, "you gave me a weapon."
"Silence. I gave you the physical representation of my being. You - a weak, mindless, insignificant creature - saw only violence in its form."
"Of course I did! I mean, for God's sake, the fingers are little swords."
Mammon was physically unimpressed and with such emotions came a change in scenery. Darkness began to creep in through the door, revealing the illusion's true form. A cave began to swallow the two of them whole, the only light source being Mammon's mask. When the transition had completed, he spoke again. "You have failed to understand, Hideki."
The trench coat fell from the creature's unshapely body, revealing not a human form but a complicated mass of tentacles and tendrils, all in that now-familiar off-white colour. As they writhed, coated in a thick gel, the arm Mammon had bestowed upon Hideki grew out from the centre of its body, attaching to the last remainder of Hideki's store: the desk between the two of them. From there, fingers expand and move freely; not as blades but as individual snakes, slivering towards Hideki. "You will take note Hideki Toramaru, this is your final warning. I am the Lord of Possession, not the Lord of Blades and Failure."
From the shadows beside the demons, a creature appeared to fade into existence. Holding a human figure, just barely, the mass of flesh had no facial features nor fingers or toes. A mannequin. It stood still, simply waiting for its objective to be complete. The fingers slid across the desk, jumping from the edge and implanting themselves into the chest of the blank slate. Working their way deeper, the snakes split into veiny protrusions, ten more individual worms stretched themselves up and through the pawn's skin, wrapping around its head but it never once struggled.
"My power is not for battle. It is for control, it is for mastering others and bending their will to suit your own purposes. But you, you are a crude human. If you would rather carve through one hundred innocents rather than extract the information you desire, I understand that it is your nature. You cannot save yourself, let alone your son."
Hideki lashed out, throwing his dominant fist into Mammon's mask. Neither felt any pain in this world, no sound was released, nothing. "See?"
As one might expect, the Hunter did not take kindly to Leyim's words. Her kunai were drawn, gripped between her index and middle fingers, Leyim could see the flight trajectory apparate before her eyes. Her movements were all telegraphed in the way she stood: left foot out in front, her shoulders tensed and ready to act.
"You open it."
"What do you want to be in that room? I don't get it, what possible motivation do you have to open those doors?" Leyim asked, "if you succeed in opening it, you'll die. If you fail, you will die." The enemy stood still for a minute or two, "if you can't come up with a definitive reason, is it really worth it?"
The Hunter made up her mind soon after, lowering her guard. "The Envy often thinks out loud. Whatever is kept behind that door is part of his end-game, he needs it. In order to return The Citadel to normal, we need to destroy it."
"If you can't defeat The Envy, you won't stand a chance against the monster behind that door. The Envy doesn't even know the passcode, the creature is safe where it is, for now."
"We can't trust her! For all we know, she's working with The Envy too." The partner raged on, inching ever closer to the master keypad. His eyes darting between it and Leyim, "you've been running around with Kanzen, you're just as much of a traitor to our cause as the rest of them."
"Edgard, step back. Don't touch it, we're not ready."
"Hey, don't worry. I've got this, it's a mechanical keypad. The most worn numbers will be the keys we need and after that, we just piece them together in a logical fashion. Passwords are never secure, not if they're impended by human rules."
"I don't know who you are but you obviously do not understand what you're talking about." His fingers washed over the ten numerical keys, moistening them with sweat. She had to make a decision: intervene or allow him to make his own fatal mistake. Without second warning, the man began to tap at the keyboard. A flurry of three numbers before a short pause, he was unsure how to continue, a choice between two different keys.
"Now look…" Hiro began, interrupted by the Hunter almost immediately.
"Don't speak to me, filth. You're part of the problem. Elsa, between 2 and 6, which do you prefer?" His voice was assured and cocky, his eyes pointed towards Leyim with an almost sick sense of satisfaction and unrelenting confidence.
"That's wrong," Leyim interjected.
"I beg to differ," the key was pressed and all lights fell dim in the Citadel. His body pulsed and convulsed as electricity pumped through his body, eradicating all signs of life in a matter of seconds. Leyim couldn't understand his thought process: 10,000 different combinations possible, one couldn't guess with a simple party trick.
With internal organs smoking, the Hunter known as Edgard fell to the floor, stiffened by the shock. The tone had been set between Leyim and Elsa, unnecessary but rather unavoidable. Edgard's death had made the room surprisingly cold, "I suppose it's your turn, is it not?"

Stop Strap Flap - Doc Miles photography Tours
May 29, 2015 • Leave a Comment
Stop Strap Flap!
When we are out on tours in San Francisco, it can get quite windy. Especially in the headlands where a calm day is rare. Most of our tours are when the light requires long exposure. This requires a tripod and timer or cable release. I so often see everything set up on a nice rig of equipment only to witness the camera strap flapping around beating the tripod.
Tack sharp images in low light require a lot of stabilization and a flapping strap can cause vibration that will blur the image somewhat.
What's the solution? One, is to have a removable strap with clips, but even the remaining clips attached to the camera can flap around and vibrate the camera. Another to spend US$ 6.00 at a hardware store Nite Ize ® Gear Ties Reusable Rubber Twist Ties. www.niteize.com . They come in all sizes and colors. Just wrap your camera strap to the tripod leg and twist it tight. The strap does not move, even in high winds. That can be easy to lose, so store it wrapped around your tripod leg where you will always have it ready. There are so many uses for these Gear Ties, that you will want to have a whole collection.
Well, there is my tip for today. Have a great time out there and keep shooting?

Romping Around
I attempted to get this post live yesterday... but I should've known better because it was Cinco De Mayo!! Instead I spent the evening drinking margs with new friends, in festive outfits of course. I'm now desperately fighting the urge to sleep all day because it's so cloudy outside! Like, wha?! C'mon LA, it's the weekend & you've cancelled my plans to bask in the sun all day! I'll just have to reminisce on the day we shot these looks with our lovely photographer, Maya. It was the most ideal "California" day. The kind of day you dream about before you move to the West Coast. Sunny, calm, breezy, smiles, banana bikes, ocean waves - gaaah, dreamy! And what more perfect occasion to wear than your favorite little romp on a day like this? I love the light, flowy fabric and faded stripes. I'll be wearing this outfit on repeat this Summer.
BTW, white boots? Best purchase decision ever. They're so easy to clean and add a bold pop to all your Summer looks. This double horn necklace has also been one of my favorites. It always seems to be just the final touch I'm craving! I found this one on a little etsy shop for under $40!

Publisuites Petit Corpo Madrid on a weekend
Madrid and specifically Madrid city centre is one of the most recommended destinations in which to enjoy a short break of one or two days with ease, at a good price and with accommodation options that are worth it and tick all the boxes. Although it is a city in which one can stay for a whole month and still have something different to do, the truth is that the most important things can be squeezed into a single weekend.
A couples getaway to Madrid, for example, should include visits to places as symbolic and romantic as the Retiro Park. Navigating its large central pond in the small row boats is one of the most popular activities: tourists from all over the world go crazy to do one of the boat tours, especially in the evenings. In addition to the beautiful boating lake, the park also offers idyllic scenery in which to enjoy a picnic or aperitif under the shade of the trees, the contemporary art exhibits and photography exhibitions in its beautiful Crystal Palace which is strategically located as the starting point of the key cultural route in Madrid, starting with the Museo del Prado.
It is advisable to go to the Museum as early as possible in order to enjoy it calmly and without the crowds of tourists that inevitably form at its doorsteps since it is one of the most special and important museums in the world. It has a nice cafeteria and rooms in which to relax between exhibitions but the best idea is not to rush around and see everything in one go. Better to choose certain artistic eras and focus on enjoying them, leaving the rest for future visits. Leaving the Prado one can choose to continue to tour the museums, going through the Caixaforum and then to the Sofia. But if you have tired of art, take advantage of the fact that you are next to the Barrio de las Letras and this is where you will find the most authentic taverns in Madrid city centre.
Savour Madrid with its tapas and beers, amidst the bustle of its faithful regular customers, who often cram themselves along the bar so much that people end up having to move out into the street. If this is the life for you then do not forget to stop by the low and high cellars on Saturday or Sunday morning: locals (and the not so local) meet in these streets near the Plaza Mayor, in the heart of Latina, to Meet friends and enjoy vermouth. It usually lasts all day, from 12 in the morning. Many consider it a different way of going out, less nocturnal and more food orientated.
The nights out in Madrid, however, must be sampled. Even just for a short trip it is advisable to consider doing a small route through the bars of Malasaña, its terraces and its pubs in which you can dance the night away before returning to the hotel. In this sense it is a good idea to always look for a central hotel, to avoid long journeys and to be able to within a stones throw of the hustle and bustle. The Sol Room is one of those famous rooms in Madrid that is worth a visit. The music is varied and the atmosphere is always relaxed and very eclectic.
Also if you go to Madrid you should miss a couple of experiences that are now very fashionable in the capital. One is a classic: go to the theatere the opera or to a musical. The other is to climb to the top of one of the spectacular rooftops that has panoramic views of the city and where you can dine, have a drink or even party after the sun goes down.
As unmissable monuments, our proposal is that you go for a walk and discover them at your own pace. If your hotel is in the centre you will soon come across the symbolic Gran Via, with the Plaza de España at one end and the Puerta de Alcalá at another. The Puerta del Sol, the Plaza de Santa Ana, the Royal Palace and its gardens, Cibeles and Neptuno, Atocha and, of course, the streets of the different neighbourhoods: Chueca and Calle Fuencarral and Preciados for shopping, Malasaña to enjoy a drink and Latina to eat…
To get around Madrid, the best way is on foot, by bike or with the subway. Taxis and new forms of transport such as Cabify or Car2Go also work well in the capital. As for accommodation, look for a hotel with a certain charm, take advantage of the fact that in Madrid the hotels are very good in terms of price-quality, for example those in the Vincci Hotels or Petit Palace Hotels chains, which stands out with its Petit Palace Plaza España and its Petit Palace Triball, both located in the centre.
Getting a car ready for a long trip
Automobile long distance traveling is a great way to relax and get new impressions. Unfortunately, unforeseen breakdowns away from home can seriously complicate the trip and cause you to spend some extra money on repairs not to mention that the trip will be pretty much spoiled if it is a serious breakdown. Therefore, the preparation of a vehicle for a long trip should be done in advance. What must be done to prepare the car for the road?
Carry out maintenance
The main goal is to make sure that all the systems of the car are working properly and, if necessary, replaced and adjusted. First of all, you need to check the condition of the brake system and the battery. In addition, make sure that the tire pressure is normal and the spare wheel is in working order. Plus, you might also want to learn a thing or two on how to detail your car.
Remember that the lion's share of breakdowns are those that could be fixed if you have a proactive mindset, so if you know that the service life of any part of your vehicle is coming to an end, try to replace it before the trip begins. The process of maintenance should be treated seriously, because the condition of the car has a direct influence on the comfort of your entire trip.
Moreover, unplanned breakdowns often lead to a waste of time and money, and you probably will not be happy about it. For safety, it is also worthwhile to purchase replacement parts to be able to install them if necessary. We can recommend taking with you some spark plugs, headlight and tail light bulbs, spare wheel, a set of belts and filters, fasteners and tools. You may also require a small supply of fuel, brake fluid and engine oil. As for additional tools, it is advisable to take an ax, a saw, a tow rope and a jack along – these might come in handy as well.
Before hitting the road
All spare parts and tools can be useless if the driver or their passengers do not have the basic skills of car maintenance. In this case, you should think twice before you go on a long trip. Especially it is true for trips taken in sparsely populated areas with poor road conditions, off-road driving, etc. Speaking of off-road driving, you might want to check out some specific model of Jeep, which is highly capable when it comes to overcoming different obstacles.
In any case, beforehand get all the necessary maps, guides and a GPS-navigator. Remember, a badly prepared long trip by car can not only spoil the whole vacation, but also lead to wasted time, money and risk to health. Do not let things slide, plan a trip in advance, and you will significantly reduce the likelihood of any trouble.
We hope you find this article enjoyable and you will have a perfect car trip!

Is Scott Disick Trying To Win Bella Thorne Back? — He Sends Her Flowers After Cannes Drama
Scott Disick's going the distance to make things right with Bella Thorne after their pretty terrible trip to Cannes. The Lord gifted the actress with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, which she showed off on Snapchat. Smooth!
Bella Thorne, 19, flaunted an incredibly beautiful bouquet of flowers on Snapchat on June 14, but declined to say who they were from. She has a lot of good guy friends, and is pals with some of her exes, so it really could have been any of them! After her fans freaked out about the identity of the sweet mystery man, he's finally been revealed. The flowers are reportedly from none other than Scott Disick, 32! He's trying to make it up to Bella after their disastrous trip to Cannes, where she bailed after he started partying too hard, sources tell TMZ.
This was a really nice apology! But is it also a romantic gesture? They sparked major dating rumors while in Cannes after they were spotted chilling on the deck of a yacht, looking extra cozy. Bella was with her sister, Dani, so they kept things pretty PG-13 for the most part. Bella was lying on a lounge chair at one point with Scott spooning her. And it looked like his arm was touching her chest! They even kissed!
While they seemed to be having a great time, Bella wasn't with him for the rest of the trip. As he was partying with Justin Bieber's ex Sofia Richie, 18, and Chloe Bartoli, 26, (you know, the girl he cheated on ex Kourtney Kardashian, 38 with), Bella was nowhere to be seen. She kicked Scott to the curb after he made out with five other girls besides her and started partying hard. Bella likes to have a good time, but within reason. That's actually why she invited her sister to Cannes; she was reportedly a little worried about it from the beginning. But Bella and Scott are good now, even after that terrible ending to their vacation. "We're chillin', we're friends, we're cool," she said in an interview with ET.
Is it just an interesting coincidence that Kourtney posted a pic of an extremely similar bouquet on social media earlier on the same day Bella got hers? Hmmm. Both Bella and Kourtney both got bright pink roses, and Kourtney didn't reveal who the bouquet was from, either. Is Scott just doing the rounds with the women he needs to apologize to? If Kourtney's flowers are really from Scott, then she's probably not going to be too happy about the shady gesture. Sorry, dude!
HollywoodLifers, do you think Scott's trying to woo Bella with flowers? Let us know!

Tensile bond pull-off tests shall be conducted after the surface has been prepared using light grit blasting or grinding.
Old concrete may be contaminated with oils, grease or salts and these must be removed prior to priming.
New concrete should be cured for at least 14 days using efficient curing techniques. If a spray-on curing compound has been used, this must be removed by light grit blasting prior to priming.
Once prepared, the surface shall be primed with one coat of webertec force EP primer. The bonding adhesive must be applied whilst the primer is still tacky.
Do not let the primer cure before applying the adhesive.
Use a clean, dry plastic bucket or container for mixing. Pour in the resin and slowly add the hardener component.
Alternatively mix within the tin.
Mix thoroughly to an even colour and consistency using a slow-speed drill and spiral head mixer.
Immediately after mixing, webertec force EP bonding adhesive should be applied by brush or roller to the prepared surface.
Apply to a uniform thin coat and brush into the surface. Avoid material running down the substrate.
For application of composite sheets, see individual data sheets.
Pot life and Cure timeThe effective workable time of mixed webertec force EP bonding adhesive is comparatively short when left in the mixing vessel, i.e. 20 minutes at 20°C. The pot life can be extended by pouring the mixed material into a shallow tray to dissipate the heat created during the polymerisation hardening phase
Temperature 5°C 10°C 20°C
Pot life 6 hr 3 hr 1 hr

This in from Chris Lovell at The Accordion Shop.
I'm sorry to have to say that we have had yet another break-in in over night at Sunday 23rd @ 1.20am with the theft of another 8 accordions despite further security measures since last time! We think its highly likely to be the same culprits as previous break-ins. Can you at AccordionCentral ask the accordion community to be on the look out for:
Bugari Evo Black Piano serial number either 16m0014
Roland FR8X Black Piano serial number Z0D0104
Roland FR4X Black Piano serial number Z4H0207
Roland FR3X White Piano Z9G0169
The above instruments are missing their power packs, so if enquiries are made for these it is just as important to get in touch.
Hohner Morino 120 Bass Accordion
Hohner Morino VN Five Voice 120 Bass Accordion
Sonola Festival 120 Bass Five Voice Accordion
Excelsior 960 Five Voice Accordion
It is also worth noting that the Saxophone specialist SAX UKs Sussex branch have been hit 3 times in the last 4-6 weeks with over 200 sax's taken, by a similar organised gang!
Our thoughts again go out to Chris and his family and ask anyone that might have information even if its only a suspicion to get in touch. Please, lets catch these idiots!

Power Supplies for Military-Grade Systems
To ensure electronics, communication systems, computers and drives work, they must be powered. Since the military uses delicate systems that need continuous large amounts of power, their power systems must be able to handle large influxes of power, power surges and outside forces such as weather and electromagnetic forces. Keeping military systems running through spikes and surges requires a more sophisticated system than many commercial clients will ever need. Companies are continuing to make power systems more efficient, and they are supplying them to the military in shorter time frames.
POL Converters
POL or point of load converters maximize power. They are able to withstand huge amounts of power and allow a system to use considerably less power than the system would naturally use on its own. These converters can also reduce the amount of thermal dissipation or irreversible process where heat is transformed. The POL converters allow a system to use much less power and use power at a much more efficient level. The ability to maximize power like this allows the systems to run much more efficiently and creates a more stable system. These converters also allow the systems to use more power than they were previously able to use.
Paralleled Modules
Another way to maximize power efficiency is to use a system that runs on a parallel module. These modules allow military systems continuously run efficiently—even if one of the modules is out of commission for a period of time. The other module can continue to run power through the system. These paralleled modules can generally work best with a high-powered system. They can generally handle up to a 50 A current. These power capacities are first factored for one module and then those results are simply multiplied by the number of modules the system will run.
Standardized Power Supplies
Standardized power supplies have been lowering the costs of these military-grade power systems. Since the power supplies are all required to contain and maintain consistency, they tend to cost less. Companies can build their supplies using the same specs that other companies have used and sell to customers based on the successes of previous models. Most customers seeking out military-grade power systems can now trade in an expensive custom-made system for one that is easy to maintain and costs significantly less. The company spends less on engineering and production costs, and the customer can receive the product in a shorter time frame.
Faster Production Speeds
Since there is a growing demand for military-grade power systems, these systems need to be engineered, built and shipped with shorter deadlines. Since companies are spending less time on the engineering and designing phases, they can ship the power supplies faster. The sooner the military or the company receives the power supply, the sooner they can test the supplies and begin using them. Companies need to find a way to cut design and ship times without sacrificing the quality of the product. The easiest way to do this is through a standardized power system.
Subsystem Power Supply
Military personnel use subsystem power supplies to ensure their systems are getting a clear and steady supply of power. These power supplies supply power to systems like communications technology and mission computers and systems. Therefore, they must meet military standards of 1275 and 704 (MIL-STD-1275 / MIL-STD-704). The standards ensure that the power system can regulate power without failing because of voltage surges. They must protect gear and other equipment from failing or faltering during such an electrical surge. These systems must also continue to provide power to the gear and equipment during surges.
Electromagnetic Compatibility
One of the regulations, MIL-STD-1275 also regulates electromagnetic compatibility, including the unwanted effects of an electromagnetic spike and generation of electromagnetic energy that was unintentional. These standards ensure the system can handle electromagnetic spikes in all modes of operation including starting, normal and generator modes. They must be able to continue to generate energy and push energy throughout the system during these electromagnetic ebbs and flows.
Electrical Isolation
To ensure that all systems run without interference, the power systems must have electrical isolation. This type of isolation keeps systems safe, ensuring the power is grounded and won't cause electrical shocks. It also prevents ground loops which can sound like a humming noise and create feedback within communication systems. To ensure electrical isolation, the system must move the energy across the isolation boundary. This is done through the use of a transformer. Electrical isolation is used primarily in military-grade power systems and very rarely (if ever) used in commercial power system.
When it comes to aviation, hermeticity is one of the most important factors in a military power system. Since these power supplies are greatly affected by gas or air escaping into the system, they must be hermetically sealed. When a customer seeks out a military-grade system, one of the features the customer will look to is hermeticity. As sophisticated as a power system is, it cannot function properly if it is constantly affected by outside sources and conditions.

Scroll to the end of this story for an update.
Did you love Justin Bieber: Never Say Never? Can't stop thinking about the little boy-man heartthrob? Or rather, do you hate the pop sensation with all of your soul? Well, either way, you're in luck, because a lock of Bieber's hair is up for auction on eBay. All you need is $7,000 and a dream...
Gawker reports that the non-threatening teen idol gave Ellen DeGeneres a clip of his hair on her show recently, and that it's currently got 60 bids on it and is at the $6,900 mark. Yes, $6,900.
So it's weird and sketchy, right? But even more strange -- what tween-age girl has seven Gs to drop on this? Or is the highest bidder an adult? A lonely, lonely adult?
(Oh, and if you're a Bieber hater, that lock could always be used for witchcraft purposes… Just saying.)
Update: The auction is over, and the hair is sold. The winning bid? $40,668.00. DeGeneres is donating the money to the animal rescue group The Gentle Barn Foundation. But still... the universe is clearly doomed.

If you missed having a white Christmas last year, take heart -- a white spring is on its way. Fashion-wise, at least.
Where last spring was all about rich colors and luxury, this spring is simpler, crisper, cleaner. And white is a major theme -- from your A-line trench coat to your ruffled shirt -- as are cousins of the color, such as beige, ecru, bone and nude.
This spring is a white buttoned-up shirt instead of a jungle-patterned shrug. It's khaki-colored Bermuda shorts instead of tiered Bohemian skirts.

Dead Even
Dear students,
In a horse race, the term "photo finish" is used whenever two or more horses are so close together at the finish line that only a photograph (and not the naked eye) can determine which horse won the race. It sometimes happens--but not very often--that the horses involved in the photo finish will cross the finish line simultaneously. When this occurs, the term "dead even" is used to describe how the horses finished the race. In a more general sense, the term "dead even" means that two or more contestants (whether in a swimming race, a car race, or any other kind of race) finish the race in a tie.
The term "dead even" appeared in yesterday's newspaper in reference to a recent poll of voters. As you know, lots of polls are being taken these days as we approach this year's elections. Most of them, of course, center on the presidential election, and that was the focus of the article I read in yesterday's paper.
The opening sentence of that Associated Press article stated that "the Republican presidential candidate is dead even with his Democratic foe." This statement was based on a poll of registered voters who said they were likely to vote in the upcoming election. Over 600 voters participated.
Based on the statement that the poll showed the two candidates "dead even," most readers would surmise that they both had support of the same number of the people polled. However, the 2nd sentence in the AP article indicated that one of the candidates was ahead of the other candidate "46 percent to 43 percent." It my guess that not just a few readers scratched their heads after seeing these two percentages immediately after being told that the two candidates were "dead even." Are you scratching your head?
Instead of scratching your head's exterior in dismay, it's my hope that the term "confidence interval" popped into consciousness inside your head! If you did, in fact, think of this statistical concept as way to reconcile the "dead even" and "46 vs. 43" sentences, give yourself a big pat of the back.
Each candidate's support level (46 percent for one, 43 percent for the other) come from a sample of likely voters. Hence, instead of treating those percentages as population parameters, it's important to view them as sample statistics. Because of the likelihood of sampling error being present in each candidate's percentage, neither one should be trusted as indicating the level of support among all likely voters (on the day the poll was taken. Each percentage is probably a close guess as to its corresponding population parameter, but neither one is likely to "hit the nail on the head."
In the newspaper article, I read that the "margin of error" was plus or minus 4 points. If you build a confidence interval around each candidate's percentage by adding and subtracting 4 points, you'll end up with one interval that extends from 42 to 50 and another interval that that extends from 39 to 47. Because these confidence intervals "overlap" each other, the two presidential candidates were said to be "dead even."
On some radio and TV reports, I've heard the phrase "statistically tied" to describe a situation like the one I've described here. I prefer that term to the phrase "dead even." Your preference may be the other way around. Be that as it may, I hope you can see why a political poll can be interpreted as indicating the candidates are "even" despite the fact that the poll showed them to have different levels of support.

Awesome I think it will fit in good here!
Based on the feedback from this thread, I went ahead and created a general cycling forum for those that ride in the off-season:
If you ride, please jump in and help get this new forum off the ground. Enjoy!

Awesome I think it will fit in good here!
I would seperate the mtb and road into two. No discrimination but I think it would have better organization.
I'd respectfully disagree with Doro for the time being. For now I think one forum is adequate. It would be too spread out over two forums. Focus should be on simply generating traffic.
Making sanity obsolete since 1982...
By the way Greg, I'm thrilled you created the forum. Think maybe it would be appropriate to move the "great road biking weather" thread from misc to cycling now?

A cooking competition at ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center in Burlington will focus not so much on who makes the best-tasting meal, but on how far the ingredients traveled to get to dinner. Chefs have been asked to create dishes from ingredients that originate close to home.Vermont receives $3.75M in energy efficiency grants | The Burlington Free Press
"The Food Less Traveled" will take place from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday and will feature local cooks from six area restaurants: American Flatbread, Cosmic Bakery, Farmhouse Tap and Grill, Skinny Pancake, the Spot and Sugarsnap.
Eighteen farms and rural businesses in Vermont will receive a total of $3,750,930 in grants and loans for renewable-energy and energy-efficiency projects, Vermont's congressional delegation announced Tuesday. Among the projects are close to $2 million in grants and loans for agricultural methane production and electrical generation in Addison County, and $1.5 million for the Addison Solar Farm being built on U.S. 7 in Vergennes. (Disclosure: SDRS Represents Addison Solar Farm)Barre eco-friendly home awaits low-income family | WCAX.COM
Super energy efficient homes are not only for the super rich. The Central Vermont Land Trust is helping to put a low-income family into a new state-of-the-art home in Barre town.
What started as a foreclosed wreck last year was torn down and turned into a five-plus Energy Star home. It features radiant floors, on demand hot water and R-60 insulated walls. The income eligible buyer will end up paying about $140,000 after a federally funded subsidy.

This is one of the more recent additions to the Algarve golf courses. It features a variety of training facilities for the best all round improvement of the player's game. One of the most impressive aspects of this course is the fact that it uses a cutting edge underground irrigation system that allows play even during irrigation times.
This course designed by Seve Ballesteros is a great challenge for beginner golfers as well as more accomplished players. It provides great views of the Guadiana River.
Located near the sea, the ocean course comes with a smart combination of links and parkland golf for the best time for players of all levels.

The Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act (7 U.S.C. §499) "protects businesses dealing in fresh and frozen fruits and vegetable by establishing and enforcing a code of fair business practices and helping companies" in the industry resolve business disputes. In addition to issuing the necessary PACA licenses, the USDA's AMS also helps in the resolution of disputes and enforcement. For example, recently the USDA issues sanctions against violators in Illinois, California and Mississippi by restricting companies who had failed to pay under PACA awarded reparations from operating in the produce industry. If you deal in produce, there is simply no way to avoid PACA. One of the interesting parts of PACA involves the creation of a trust in bankruptcy cases. The trust created under the act requires full payment to produce sellers and other beneficiaries even before attorneys' fees are paid. The 5th Circuit recently reiterated this in Kingdom Fresh Produce v. Stokes Law Office (14-51079) holding that an attorney marshaling assets and collecting monies was preempted by the trust created for a produce seller under PACA and that the fees earned by finding funds to use in the bankruptcy were secondary to paying the PACA creditor. While the opinion explains this in detail, it also lays out a history of the Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act and explains it in a good amount of detail that makes for interesting reading, which, of course, is of interest to us here at Food and Beverage Legal News. So, without further adieu:
We begin with some background on PACA.
The short lifespan of produce makes it a risky business. It has been described as an industry "engaged almost exclusively in interstate commerce, which is highly competitive, and in which the opportunities for sharp practices, irresponsible business conduct, and unfair methods are numerous." See H.R. Rep. No. 84-1196 (1956), reprinted in 1956 U.S.C.C.A.N. 3699, 3701. Sellers "must entrust their products to a buyer who may be thousands of miles away, and depend for their payment upon his business acumen and fair dealing." Golman-Hayden Co. v. Fresh Source Prod. Inc., 217 F.3d 348, 351 (5th Cir. 2000); see also Endico Potatoes, Inc. v. CIT Grp./Factoring, Inc., 67 F.3d 1063, 1067 (2d Cir. 1995) ("[D]ue to the need to sell perishable commodities quickly, sellers of perishable commodities are often placed in the position of being unsecured creditors of companies whose creditworthiness the seller is unable to verify."). Congress thus enacted PACA in 1930 to regulate and "promote fair dealing in the sale of fruits and vegetables," Reaves Brokerage Co. v. Sunbelt Fruit & Vegetable Co., 336 F.3d 410, 413 (5th Cir. 2003) (internal citation and quotation marks omitted), in part by making it a violation of federal law for buyers of perishable commodities to "fail . . . [to] make full payment promptly" to sellers. 7 U.S.C. § 499b(4).
In 1984, Congress strengthened the protections of the Act by requiring buyers—often brokers that purchase the produce from farmers and then sell it to grocery stores or restaurants—to hold either the produce or all proceeds or accounts receivable from a subsequent sale of the produce in trust for the benefit of unpaid suppliers until "full payment of the sums owing in connection with such transactions has been received by" the supplier. See id. § 499e(c)(2). These amendments were modeled after the statutory trust provisions that Congress added to the Packers and Stockyards Act in 1976, 7 U.S.C. §§ 196– 197, so courts have often looked to those "parallel" provisions when interpreting PACA's trust provisions. See In re Monterey House, Inc., 71 B.R. 244, 246 (Bankr. S.D. Tex. 1986); In re Fresh Approach, Inc., 51 B.R. 412, 419– 20 (Bankr. N.D. Tex. 1985); see also Consumers Produce Co. v. Volante Wholesale Produce, Inc., 16 F.3d 1374, 1382 n.5 (3rd Cir. 1994).
As intended by Congress, which was concerned that suppliers of produce were typically unsecured creditors who lost out when purchasers gave banks a security interest in their accounts receivable –
Congress made the following findings: It is hereby found that a burden on commerce in perishable agricultural commodities is caused by financing arrangements under which commission merchants, dealers, or brokers, who have not made payment for perishable agricultural commodities purchased, contracted to be purchased, or otherwise handled by them on behalf of another person, encumber or give lenders a security interest in, such commodities, or on inventories of food or other products derived from such commodities, and any receivables or proceeds from the sale of such commodities or products, and that such arrangements are contrary to the public interest. This subsection is intended to remedy such burden on commerce in perishable agricultural commodities and to protect the public interest. 7 U.S.C. § 499e(c)(1).
– the PACA trust has had a significant effect in bankruptcy. See In re Lombardo Fruit & Produce Co., 12 F.3d 806, 808–09 (8th Cir. 1993). Although buyers hold legal title to the assets in this "nonsegregated 'floating' trust in favor of unpaid sellers," Bocchi Americas Assocs. Inc. v. Commerce Fresh Mktg. Inc., 515 F.3d 383, 388 (5th Cir. 2008), "the seller retains an equitable interest in the trust assets pending full payment." C.H. Robinson Co. v. Alanco Corp., 239 F.3d 483, 487 (2d Cir. 2001). The trust assets are thus insulated from the buyer's bankruptcy estate. See 11 U.S.C. § 541(d) ("Property in which the debtor holds, as of the commencement of the case, only legal title and not an equitable interest, . . . becomes property of the estate . . . only to the extent of the debtor's legal title to such property, but not to the extent of any equitable interest in such property that the debtor does not hold." (emphasis added)). Sellers therefore have a "'superpriority' right that trumps the rights of the buyer's other secured and unsecured creditors." Bocchi, 515 F.3d at 388; see also Golman-Hayden, 217 F.3d at 351 ("We have recognized that PACA is a 'tough law.' . . . An investor in a perishable commodities corporation 'should know at the beginning of his association with such a corporation that he is "buying into" a corporation which is strictly regulated by the federal government through PACA.'" (internal citations omitted)). To the extent PACA funds are insufficient to pay each seller in full, the assets are shared pro rata. See Golman-Hayden, 217 F.3d at 349.
The Ninth Circuit has provided a useful illustration of how this works:
Farmer sells oranges on credit to Broker. Broker turns around and sells the oranges on credit to Supermarket, generating an account receivable from Supermarket. Broker then obtains a loan from Bank and grants Bank a security interest in the account receivable to secure the loan. Broker goes bankrupt. Under PACA, Broker is required to hold the receivable in trust for Farmer until Farmer was paid in full; use of the receivable as collateral was a breach of the trust. Therefore, Farmer's rights in the Supermarket receivable are superior to Bank's. In fact, as a trust asset, the Supermarket receivable is not even part of the bankruptcy estate. Boulder Fruit Express & Heger Organic Farm Sales v. Transportation Factoring, Inc., 251 F.3d 1268, 1271 (9th Cir. 2001).

How to SLAY Your Career Goals
The term SLAY has been reintroduced to pop culture's vocab in the last two years thanks to music royalty, Beyoncé. Being a huge Beyoncé fan myself I've purchased quite a few journals, folders, and notebooks referencing the term. The other day I was looking at one of my notebooks and imagined what it means to slay your career goals. So I put together this fun little acronym to keep you motivated along your career journey.
For today's career tip I give you the four things you MUST do to SLAY your career goals:
S: See it…Having a vision for your goals is vital. It is extremely difficult to accomplish something without having an idea of what it looks like. One of the reason role models are an important part of your professional network is that they allow you a goal to shoot for. When you see the moves that your role model has made it provides a blueprint for you to follow. Vision boards are also a useful career development tool. My vision board sits right across from my desk. I look at it every day. It is a visual reminder of what career and life satisfaction looks like for me and is a reminder to not stop.
L: List it…Do you journal? There has been a lot published about the positive effects of journaling. Since I was a little girl I've always kept a diary. Now I write brief thoughts, ideas and questions in my journal. Check out this Huffington Post article, 10 Surprising Benefits You'll Get From Keeping a Journal, to learn even more about why you should list out your thoughts daily.
A: Apply Action…Once you have set goals you have to put action to them. I encourage my clients to do one thing each day that will get you closer to your goal. As simple as it sounds, completing productive action items every day requires some thought. So at the beginning of the week, try creating a list of things that you'd like to accomplish. Every day check your list and see what you can check off. It works!
Y: You Betta Work! That's right…slaying your career goals requires work. If you're comfortable you're probably not stretching yourself enough. I am a huge proponent of doing what you love, but sometimes in order to grow you have to do some things that aren't comfortable. To encourage me to complete the work that I don't love, I work with an Accountability Partner. We meet once per week and set goals and hold each other accountable for the execution of those goals. Have you ever worked with an Accountability Partner?
Are you doing what's necessary to SLAY your career goals? Need a partner? I can help. I partner with professionals to help them make strategic career moves. Call me. Let's discuss your SLAY strategy.
