Minutes of the Second Precinct Advisory Council. Meeting of June 8, 2015.
- Summary: A presentation on K-9s was made with lots of Q and A.
- Bike thefts are up as it is summer. Be sure to lock up.
Detailed Minutes:
Start: 6:14 pm
Introductions: 22 in attendance
Minutes: April minutes approved
Treasurer's report: $783.84
Sgt. Andy Stender of the Minneapolis Police Dept. K9 Unit and his partner, Nash.
Sgt. Stender is one of two sergeants of this unit, which totals 16 person and dog teams. There are usually two teams on duty 24/7, working on 4-week rotations. Emergencies and events may need additional teams. The teams are not assigned to any precinct, but go where they most needed.
The dogs are shepherds (German, Dutch or Belgian), malinois and mal-shep cross-bred dogs. As they are now bred, the malinois have more energy and drive, which is why the unit is adding more of them. Successful dogs are bred for the purpose; the best come from European breeders who focus on developing the blood lines for healthy physique, high intelligence, social ability, focus, drive, and stamina. Currently the MPD buys from three different European breeders through a broker. American breeders don't produce equally reliable dogs.
Dogs cost about $6500 each, and are paid for solely by the Minneapolis Police K-9 Foundation through t-shirt sales and donations. FFI, see their page: http://www.mplspolicek9foundation.org/ Funding is always an issue with this unit; MPD does not attend national competitions because there is no funding for it. While $6500 buys a candidate, a trained dog is worth at least three times the amount. Causing "great bodily harm or death" to a Police Dept dog (or horse) is charged as a felony.
Some dogs don't work out for a variety of reasons. They may not pass certification. Maybe the dog just doesn't fit in. Because the dogs are sold under warranty, they are returned for replacement. Be assured there is a long list of people already waiting for a returned dog.
Dogs are brought into the program at 12-16 months old, though an occasional dog may begin at a younger age. Initial training for street skills lasts 12 weeks. If they pass the test for street preparedness, they can begin practicing on the street. All dogs get ongoing training once a week, thereafter. About a year in, they can be certified and will then begin special training in either explosive or narcotics detection. Sgt. Stender's partner, Nash, has advanced training in explosive detection and is a member of the SWAT team. A dog's career typically lasts 8 to 9 years and they generally retire because of physical issues like arthritis. Retired dogs live at home with their partner.
Certification: Minneapolis certifies its own dogs and also dogs from other cities. The certification test has 700 points; 490 is a passing grade. Minneapolis dogs test at 600 or better to be kept in our K-9 unit.
Dogs in action: Dogs are deployed at the handler's discretion. Officers must always remember that their partner dog is primarily a tool whose primary function is to protect humans. A dog can also do some things a human can't do, especially tasks that depend on scent, spotting, and rapid chase for "catch and hold". Dogs can be deployed for gross misdemeanor and felony investigations. They are generally NOT used when juveniles are involved or when there is not much perceived danger to humans.
On a "dog call" involving more than one team, the teams back each other up. One may start to tire while the next team is fresher. Also, a dog may give a signal the handler will miss, but another handler spots the dog's signal. The K-9 teams receive between 2000 and 3000 calls a year. Sgt. Stender expects his teams to "get the burglar".
The unit is experienced in dealing with dog death. Most dogs die in retirement but some dogs die on the job. For some human officers, it's "one and done." Other officers want another dog soon. Each officer's needs are respected.
Miscellanea: The dogs' diets are watched by a U of MN veterinary nutritionist. Right now the dogs are eating Science Diet, Eukanuba, and Natural Balance. Most dogs get one feeding a day, as much as they need to keep a good weight. Extra weight on a physically active dog is too hard on their joints and they'd "wear down" too young. Nash is 74 pounds at 6 years and eats about 6 cups, most of it at the end of the day. The MPD only has males but other cities have successful female Police Dept. dogs. The difficulty is having both in the same unit; it's easier to avoid issues than it is to deal with them.
Dog rewards: How do you reward a Police Dept. dog? It's not food. You throw a ball! You play tug of war! They want MORE chase, find, retrieve! Their partner always carries a toy. Sgt. Stender emphasized these dogs never lose their drive. They want to work and then they want more work. When they are retired, they don't want to stay home; they want to be in the squad car when they hear it pull out of the drive.
St. Stender's tip for breaking up a dog fight or turning back an aggressive dog: CO-2 fire extinguishers. It's not unusual for an officer (with or without a MPD K9) to find a someone's pet dog running loose, challenging, biting out of fear or in defense. He blames the owners of the aggressors, and he wants to send the bullies home unhurt. CO-2 will do that.
For people who want to see these highly trained canines in action, there is a public demonstration in Elk River on June 28 at the Elk River High School Football Field, 6:30 pm.
Graduation is another time the public can see a demo. Graduations are held at the end of May and you'll find next year's advertised on the websites in this report.
There is a lot more information about these fascinating dogs at https://www.facebook.com/mpdpolicek9foundation (check out the smallest police K-9 who weights 6.8 pounds and lives in Ohio), and at the Foundation page, cited above.
More people are out on bikes and more bikes are being stolen. Officers find bikes that are probably stolen but people don't have serial numbers or other identifying information so the bikes can't be handed out. The best solution is to record your bike's serial number and other identifying information.
As always, remember to lock doors and windows! Make it hard for burglars to get in and they'll look for an easier target.
There were two robberies of businesses, in the Second Precinct, both before the places opened for the day.
Reminder: if something "doesn't look right" phone and report it. Let the police figure out what priority the incident is suggesting.
Four people were removed from Courtwatch list on advice from the City Attorney.
Four people were added:
Christopher Perkins. 2nd Degree drug possession on May 20. 36th Ave NE at Buchanan St.
Henry Preston Oz-Storm. 2nd Degree Robbery on May 20. 36th Ave NE at Buchanan.
Raymond McParland. Disorderly conduct on May 16, at Logan Park
Antoine Evans. 1st Degree Aggravated Robbery on April 29. 1st Ave NE and 2nd Street.

ACA saved my family! I had a severe gastrointestinal bug that took me to ER (I went w/o fear of bankrupting bill), where I was diagnosed with food borne Shigella and sepsis, then septic shock. I almost died in ICU. Had I waited a bit longer, I'd have died. The claims of "unaffordable insurance" as result of ACA, are largely false, as ACA caps out of pocket costs and premiums to income percentage, and I've personally looked at several claims by friends and relatives, proving to them historical trend increases prior to ACA, the benefits they didn't realize they were receiving, etc... sincerely, Judy Fitanides

A week-long funded opportunity, the Young Birders' Training Course provides an opportunity annually for three female and three male naturalists (aged 16 – 25 years), to spend a week at the Observatory learning first-hand, a wide range of bird survey skills and techniques. These skills are out with the scope of most university/college curricula yet are essential attributes for those embarking on a career or role in wildlife recording/conservation.
Saturday 6 - Saturday 13 July 2019
In 2014, the SOC and Isle of May Bird Observatory (IoMBO), joined forces to pioneer the first and only course of its kind: the Young Birders' Training Course (YBTC). Working in partnership, the course draws upon the talents of highly experienced bird ringers, researchers and surveyors and ensures that participants receive first-class, expert tuition in an unrivalled setting.
With additional teaching on the island provided by Scottish Natural Heritage and Centre for Ecology and Hydrology staff, YBTC also provides a network of contacts to assist participants on their journey. So far twenty four young birders have taken part in the YBTC, with six more due to set sail for the May in July 2019. The opportunity has sparked a wave of similar initiatives by related-organisations, and has received widespread praise and support for addressing the seemingly widening gap between today's young people and nature. The project was also recently shortlisted for a prestigious Nature of Scotland Award. To find out more about the impact of the course on participants, click here.
The course presents a unique opportunity for budding ornithologists', both in its setting and teaching options. Course participants get a thorough introduction to daily recording of birds and other taxa, species monitoring (including assistance with ongoing seabird studies), hands-on experience of bird ringing, and activities such as visible migration watches and co-ordinated seawatching counts. Outwith the scope of most university curricula, these skills are essential attributes for those embarking on a career or role in wildlife recording, surveying and conservation. The successful applicants will gain invaluable first-hand practical experience of a wide range of bird survey skills and techniques and participants will be able to draw on the talents and knowledge of highly experienced bird ringers, researchers and surveyors.
The week-long stay on the island will also allow participants to find out more about the Isle of May National Nature Reserve (NNR) and to experience the many aspects of island and bird observatory life. At the end of the course, participants will be provided with a certificate to present to potential employers outlining their achievements on the Young Birders' Training Course.
Find out how the latest group of young birders got on and what they got up to on their week on the May, here.

More information about the project
About the Isle of May
The Isle of May lies 5 miles off the Fife coast in East Scotland. It is a National Nature Reserve and is managed by Scottish Natural Heritage. Situated at the mouth of the Firth of Forth, the May is ideally placed to draw in migrating birds as well as providing a breeding site for many thousands of seabirds. It is internationally important for its populations of Puffins.
Contributing organisations
This opportunity is a joint collaboration between the SOC and the Isle of May Bird Observatory, and will be led by representatives from each organisation. Additional support and resources will be provided from Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) and the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH) staff on the island. The project is being funded by the SOC.
For the 2019 course only, British Birds Charitable Trust have kindly offered successful participants assistance with the cost of travelling to Anstruther, please see 'Travelling to Anstruther' below, for more info.
Participants should be aware that neither the SOC, The Isle of May Bird Observatory, nor individual leaders of this project, can accept any responsibility for any injury suffered by individuals taking part in the training course, nor any loss or damage to personal property. Successful applicants will be given a thorough health & safety briefing on the island as part of their induction process.
Under 18's on the Isle of May
Individuals aged between 16 and 25 are invited to apply for a place on the course. If you are under 18 and successful in your application, then written permission from a parent or guardian will be required before we can confirm your place on the course.
Travelling to Anstruther
SOC and IoMBO are pleased to announce that British Birds Charitable Trust have been in touch and will be able to offer assistance with the cost of travelling to Anstruther for participants attending the 2019 Young Birders' Training Course. In addition, participants will receive a free year's membership to the SOC, the latest Isle of May Bird Report and a year's free subscription to British Birds.
Travelling to the island
Transport to the island (less than 5 miles) is provided by the Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) 'Osprey'. This sets sail from the middle pier in Anstruther, the same pier as the lifeboat house is on, postcode: KY10 3AB. Due to the nature of the crossing and entry and exit to/from the boat, travelling by RIB is not suitable for anyone with back ailments, those who are pregnant or persons reliant on wheelchairs / walking aids.
Accommodation on the island
Accommodation for the duration of the trip will be provided at the Isle of May Bird Observatory, with dorm-style separate male and female facilities. There should be enough water for participants to get a decent wash every day, but not regular showers. Pillows and a duvet will be provided, however successful applicants will need to bring their own bed linen, or sleeping bag. The recently upgraded facilities also house a dining kitchen, washroom, lounge, boot room and store room. There is limited access to electricity in the accommodation, however there is the opportunity to charge laptops/mobile phones at the nearby SNH/CEH facilities. There are no shops on the island, however snacks can be purchased from the May Princess when she docks at the island, which happens most days.

Did Wizkid Just Shade The Government?
Wizkid might have passed across a subtle message about his opinion on the present government with a tweet.
The tweet is coming at a time when the presidential campaign is picking up and his tweet is directed at the many politicians who the public feel have had a good political career. Is he referring to the likes of Atiku Abubakar, David Mark?
Even Falz just released a video titled Presidential Adress to address the issue too.
— Wizkid (@wizkidayo) September 13, 2018
Yes o 💯 https://t.co/5POW5x27fM

If this tweet is anything to go by, it seems most Nigerian musicians are taking a stand in politics and may not be a part of some politicians' campaign train.

Dear Rep. Latham (IA)
[Editor's note: Christopher has no idea what year he lives in. This letter was sent in 2010.]
Christopher L. Jorgensen

Des Moines, IA 50393

Congressman Tom Latham
2217 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Rep. Tom Latham,
your colleague Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) has introduced The Citizen Participation Act, (H. R. 4364) the first Federal anti-SLAPP legislation, to Congress. I'm no expert in these things, but it seems like a pretty good law, and if I were a Congressman I'd vote for it, so I am writing you and asking you to do it for me!
The bill describes its purpose as follows:
To protect first amendment rights of petition and free speech by preventing States and the United States from allowing meritless lawsuits arising from acts in furtherance of those rights, commonly called "SLAPPs", and for other purposes.
I don't see anything any right thinking individual could object to, but I am sure there are some haters of Liberty out there. I bet some people will even vote against this bill! Someone should assemble a list of these naysayers so people know who to vote against in the next election.
Anyway, I am including a five spot toward your next run for public office (or if you prefer, buy yourself a coffee. You work hard and deserve it).
Christopher L. Jorgensen
p.s. anyway I could get an autographed photo for a friend? Just make it out to "Marc J. Randazza" and say something like "All the best!"

Mr. Christopher L. Jorgensen

Des Moines, IA 50393
Dear Christopher:
Thank you for contacting me to share your support for H.R. 4364, the Citizen Participation Act of 2009. I appreciate hearing from you regarding this issue.
As you know, Representative Steve Cohen (D-TN) introduced H.R. 4364 on December 19, 2009. Among other provisions, the bill declares that Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPPs), filed against thousands of individuals, organizations, and businesses based upon their valid exercise of the rights to petition or free speech, are an abuse of the judicial process that waste judicial resources and clog the already over-burdened court dockets. The bill also seeks to declare immunity from civil liability to any act of petitioning the government made without knowledge of falsity or reckless disregard of falsity, requiring a plaintiff to prove knowledge of falsity by clear and convincing evidence. After introduction, H.R. 4364 was referred to the House Judiciary Committee where it awaits further consideration by the Committee.
Please be assured I will keep our common support personal freedoms guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution in mind should the full U.S. House consider H.R. 4364 during the remainder of the 111th Congress and whenever the U.S. House considers issues related to our constitutional rights.
While I appreciate the sentiment in which it was intended, I am returning the five dollar bill you attached to your correspondence as I do not accept financial contributions in my capacity as a U.S. Representative.
Again, thank you for sharing your views with me. It is through your comments that I am better able to represent the people of Iowa.

I am a bit confused and confuzzled by Latham's line, "While I appreciate the sentiment in which it was intended, I am returning the five dollar bill you attached to your correspondence as I do not accept financial contributions in my capacity as a U.S. Representative." I can't find one person (and I have looked) that has ever heard of a politician refusing money (unless it's tainted by controversy).
He voted no on the Health Care Bill, but honestly, did anyone expect any Republicans to do otherwise? I'm not sure I can hold this against him.
Say what you will about Rep. Latham, at least he's not an asshat like Rep. Steve King.
On a side note: H.R. 4362 is important. Bloggers, journalists, and yes, even satirists, need something like this. In fact, anyone that loves free speech should be writing their representatives.

Thermal battery having iron pyrite depolarizer
A thermal battery comprising at least one cell, and preferably a plurality of stacked cells wherein each cell comprises an anode of a metal selected from the group consisting of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals and alloys thereof. Positioned against each cell anode is a homogeneous mixture, preferably in wafer form, of the electrolyte, depolarizer, and binder. The active depolarizer species of the present invention comprises iron pyrite (FeS.sub.2) which provides a lower internal resistance to the battery and improves start times over conventional depolarizers used in thermal batteries.
Latest Catalyst Research Corporation Patents:
A thermal primary electrochemical cell having an anode, cathode and an electrolyte which are solid and non-conductive at normal temperature, and in particular, a thermal cell having as its active depolarizer iron pyrite.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Thermal batteries are relatively well known in the art and comprise a plurality of thermal cells each of which includes an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte and a heat source, usually an ignitable, exothermically reactive chemical charge or pyrotechnic. A variety of electrochemical systems are known for use in thermal cells.
The electrolytes are generally mixtures of alkali metal halides, most commonly a eutectic mixture of LiCl and KCl. The cathodes, generally referred to as depolarizers, comprise materials that are reduced in the electochemical cell reaction and include phosphates, metal oxides, borates and chromates. The most widely used depolarizer material is either calcium chromate or vanadium pentoxide. It is present practice to mix the electrolyte and depolarizer with a binder in powder form and press the mixture into a wafer such as set forth in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,677,822; 3,425,872; and 3,527,615.
The most commonly used anode material is calcium, typically in the form of a coating on a nickel or iron current collector. Other materials such as magnesium and solid lithium alloys have been used. See U.S. Pat. No. 3,367,800.
Conventional thermal cells such as calcium/lithium chloride, potassium chlorides/calcium chromate experience discharge reactions in which the cell components react chemically rather than electrochemically with no electrical power generation. Such reactions result in the rapid deterioration of the cell at operating temperatures which temperatures are of a relatively narrow range. Exceeding this narrow range, of about 100.degree. C., results in a self-discharge reaction that further heats the cell to accelerate the self-discharge creating a thermal runaway. To overcome the problem of thermal runaway, deteriorization and to provide batteries having higher energy density, higher power density and longer life, anodes comprising a foraminous inert metal substrate wettable by and filled with an electrochemically active anode metal, melting at temperatures below cell operating temperatures, were provided. U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,891,460 and 3,930,888. The anodes taught and disclosed in these patents generally comprise a housing having an impervious metal portion in electrical contact with the active anode metal, typically lithium, and a porous refractory fiber portion in sealing engagement against the periphery of the metal portion. Batteries utilizing these anodes comprise a stack of cells in recurring sequence of an anode, a wafer containing electrolyte, depolarizer and binder, and a combustible composition that serves as a heat source and a cathode current collector. These batteries are activated by heating to a temperature above the melting point of the anode metal and melting point of the electrolyte.
Batteries utilizing the improved anode structures provide substantial advantages over thermal batteries without such anodes. It is desirable in many applications, however, to have a battery wherein the internal resistance is reduced near the end of its life when a high current pulse is often required. Moreover, lower internal resistance results in improved electronic conductivity with smaller voltage drops under pulsed loads. Furthermore, in numerous applications it is desirable to decrease the start time of a thermal battery.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved thermal battery utilizing prior art anodes, and in particular, the molten metal anodes described and disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,891,460 and 3,930,888. It is a further object of the invention to obtain a thermal cell having reduced internal resistance and start times.
In accordance with the present invention, the improved thermal battery comprises at least one electrochemical cell having an anode selected from metals consisting of alkali metals, alkali earth metals or alloys thereof. Preferably, the metal is lithium, calcium or an alloy of lithium and calcium. While a solid metal alloy may be used in the present invention, it is preferred that the anode comprise a housing having an impervious metal portion in an electrical contact with an active anode metal comprising a foraminous inert metal substrate wettable by and filled with an electrochemically active anode metal, such as lithium, and a porous refractory fiberous portion in sealing engagement against the periphery of the metal portion.
In contact with the porous refractory fiberous portion is a homogeneous mixture, preferably in wafer form of an electrolyte, a depolarizer consisting of iron pyrite (FeS.sub.2) and a binder such as Cab-O-Sil.RTM.. Preferably, in place of a homogeneous wafer mixture is a two-layer anolytecatholyte wafer wherein the anolyte layer, positioned adjacent the anode, comprises a pure LiCl-KCl eutectic salt and the catholyte layer comprises a mixture of iron pyrite, LiCl-KCl, and a binder.
Positioned adjacent the catholyte layer or homogeneous wafer mixture is a combustible composition such as a mixture of iron and potassium perchlorate. A plurality of such cells may be stacked in compression within a battery housing to form a thermal battery of the present invention.
Batteries utilizing the iron pyrite depolarizer of the present invention have faster start times as well as lower internal resistance. Other advantages of the present invention will become apparent from a perusal of the following detailed description of a presently preferred embodiment or best mode of the invention taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is a sectional elevation of a thermal battery comprising a stacked array of electrochemical cells;
FIG. 2 is an exploded view of a number of electrochemical cells shown in FIG. 1; and
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of an anode assembly suitable for use in the present invention.PRESENTLY PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
With reference to FIG. 1, an improved thermal battery 10 of the present invention includes a plurality of stacked electrochemical cell elements 11, each preferably being in the shape of a thin disc or wafer together with an ignitable chemical heat source 12. Cells 11 are surrounded by thermal and electrical insulation 13 and are maintained in compression by metal housing 14. Each cell comprises an anode assembly 15 and a homogeneous wafer mixture of electrolyte, depolarizer, and a cathode current collector. As shown, in FIG. 2, the electrolyte and depolarizer are incorporated into a two-layer anolyte/catholyte wafer 20. Preferably, the cathode current collector is incorporated into or comprises combustible composition 12 which provides electrical connection between the cells. Combustible composition pellet 16 provides thermal energy to the outside of the bottom cell and top cells of the cell stack. An electrical match or squib 17 is provided to activate the battery and is connected to electrical lead not shown and is in contact with fuse strip 18 which is ignited by electrical match 17 and which, in turn, ignites each wafer of combustible material 12. Insulators 22 are positioned on the end of the cell stack to serve as a temperature buffer and preferably comprise asbestos discs. Additional insulator 23 is interposed between top insulators 22.
Positive current collector 25 is connected to metal current collector 26 and extends through the insulation and housing, and is suitably sealed. Negative terminal 27 is electrically connected to metal current collector 28 and combustible composition pellet 12 by means of lead 29.
With reference to FIG. 3, the anode assembly 15 comprises an impervious metal housing 31 of thin stock, three to ten mils, of an easily cold-formed metal, such as iron, carbon steel, stainless steel or nickel. Positioned adjacent the inner bottom surface of metal cup 31 is the active metal anode, a calcium bimetal or lithium disc 32. Preferably, the active metal anode 32 comprises an iron or stainless steel wire mesh screen (approximately 40 mesh) which is dipped in molten lithium at a temperature of about 500.degree. C.-600.degree. C., as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,891,460 and 3,930,888.
Positioned adjacent active metal anode 32 is asbestos disc 33. Overlying asbestos disc 33 is a wafer 34 preferably comprising LiCl-KCL eutectic or other fused salt used as the electrolyte. The anode assembly 15 is subjected to a compressive force of approximately 750 psi prior to utilization in the stacked array.
Anolyte/catholyte wafer 20 comprises anolyte layer 19 which is a mixture of an inorganic absorbent powder binder with an electrolyte. Anolyte layer 19 may comprise a single salt or a mixture of salts having melting points applicable to the desired cell operating temperature and that, for the most part, do not undergo action, other than electrochemical, with other cell components during storage or operation of the cell. It is preferred that a low melting mixture of alkali metal halides be used such as a lithium chloride/potassium chloride eutectic. Preferably, anolyte layer 19 comprises 86% by weight lithium chloride/potassium chloride eutectic and 14% by weight silica (CabO-Sil).RTM.. The electrolyte binder mixture for use as the anolyte layer is prepared by granulating the eutectic and mixing it with a granulated mixture of silica. This mixture is fused to a temperature of between 380.degree. C. to 395.degree. C. for approximately 16 hours. The fused mixture is then granulated and placed through a 60 and 250 mesh screen. All -60 and +250 materials are utilized for the anolyte layer.
Catholyte layer 21 comprises a mixture of 25% electrolyte binder mix (material prepared for anolyte layer 19) and 75% by weight iron pyrite. It is necessary to utilize a binder to stabilize the FeS.sub.2 depolarizer against shock at operating temperature. The iron pyrite is utilized in pellet form having a density preferably greater than 2.4.
Wafer 20 is prepared by placing in a press cavity a layer of anolyte material and a layer of catholyte material and pressing into wafer form. For example, a wafer having a diameter of approximately 1.75 inches and pressed to between 0.026 to 0.029 inches in thickness, weighs 2.7 grams of which the anolyte layer is equal to 1.35 grams. The average density of the wafer is approximately 2.4.
The internal resistance of battery in accordance with the present invention using an iron pyrite depolarizer having an active area of 2.35 square inches was compared with a two-stack battery utilizing a vanadium pentoxide depolarizer having an active surface area of slightly more than 3.0 square inches. A summary of the test results is set forth below.
______________________________________ INTERNAL RESISTANCE (ohms) [batteries pulsed at 10 sec.] Depolarizer Depolarizer Temp .degree. F FeS.sub.2 V.sub.2 O.sub.5 ______________________________________ + 140 .212 - .232 .286 - .297 - 25 .244 - .246 .354 - .383 ______________________________________

What are the Different Types of Search Coils?
There are several different types of metal detector coils you can choose from.
- - Mono
- - 2-Box
- - Imaging
- - Double-D
- - Concentric
When choosing, you should consider what type of soils you intend to search, what type of detector you have, and what type of target you are searching for. There are five basic types of search coils: concentric, imaging, mono, double D, and 2-box coils.
Mono search coils are used only with pulse induction metal detectors. They work the same way as the above coils but are different in that the transmitter and receiver are located together within one coil. Mono coils enable you to have maximum sensitivity and depth but may be more difficult to use in highly mineralized soils.
2-box coils are unlike the above coils as they involve a transmitter and receiver coil that are at opposite ends of the detector, up to a few feet apart. This distance between the coils widens and deepens the detection field, making it easier to find deeply buried targets.
Imaging search coils are a type of concentric coil that are more advanced. They have an additional receiver coil, which allows for true target sizing and additional depth capabilities. This will allow you to distinguish between trash and treasure more effectively.
Double D search coils, called this because they are shaped like back-to-back letter Ds, are designed to reduce ground interference and improve performance. Because of the way DD coils are shaped, they have a cancelling effect on ground signals. This makes them more effective in areas with mineralized ground. This type of coil is often preferred for relic hunting.
Concentric search coils are the most common type of coil. This type of coil is called concentric because it consists of two coils, one inside the other, like concentric circles. The outside coil is the transmitter and the inside coil is the receiver. Concentric search coils are versatile and provide the most symmetrical field, making it easy and consistent when narrowing in on targets.
What are the Different Sizes of Search Coils?
Using different size search coils can improve your metal detecting performance in different areas. The difference in coil sizes can mean more ground coverage and deeper detection rates. It's generally accepted that the diameter of the coil you use is an estimate of its detection depth for targets that are about the size of a coin – although this isn't always a guarantee. Smaller coils have a more concentrated magnetic fields in smaller areas. They tend to work well in areas that have more metal debris. Due to the smaller size, it may take you longer to detect the area you are searching, but it also may enable you to detect multiple targets that are in close proximity to one another.
Larger coils, of course, will make it easier to detect larger search areas, but it can lead to your search being less concentrated which may cause you to miss smaller targets. If there are many metal items inside the coils field, it may be harder to pinpoint specific targets.
Does the Shape of the Search Coil Matter?
Search coils come in different shapes as well as sizes, and the shape will provide you with different benefits depending on where you are hunting. For example, an elliptical coil offers a lot of flexibility and with a narrower width, it can provide better coverage of your search area. A round or circular coil will provide more sensitivity and greater depth in detection areas. If you have further questions about which type of coil to use for a specific search area, ask one of our knowledgeable employees for advice.

I took a drive out to Horsey Windpump this morning in the hope of finding some fog and frost as I thought this would add to a nice sunrise shot. On my arrival I was bit disappointed to see there was no fog anywhere to be seen and hardly any frost on the ground as predicted by the BBC Weather, THANKS BBC!
I got up very early yesterday morning in the hope of capturing some misty shots of Thurne Windpump and St Benet's Level Drainage Mill.
On the way back from Felbrigg Hall this evening, I quickly stopped off at Rollesby Broad where I got some beautiful shots of the broads from the jetty.
I went north to Horsey this evening in the hope of capturing some reflective shots of the Mere during and after sunset.
I took a visit to How Hill this evening to get some photos of the Turf Fen Windmill at sunset. At this time of the year the sun sets behind the windmill. I walked along the bank of the River Ant until I found a good vantage point without getting any boats in my shots.
Horsey Windpump is set within the Broads National Park, and provides stunning views over the coast and Broadland landscape. Operated by the National Trust, the windpump is currently open to the public.
These photos of Thurne Dkye Drainage Mill, St Benet's Level Drainage Mill and boats on the River Thurne, were snapped in early April one evening as I was walking along the River Thurne just before and during sunset.
Horsey Mere is located just west of the Horsey Windpump and is one of the Norfolk Broads. Owned and operated by the National Trust, the mere is a site of special scientific interest. By parking at Horsey Windpump you can walk around the staithe to get to the viewing point on the broad.
Martham Broad is situated on the eastern side of the Broadland and is approximately 2 km north of Martham village. The broad is owned and operated by Norfolk Wildlife Trust and is split into two sections with the River Thurne running through the middle of it.
The Rollesby Broad is situated next to the village of Rollesby and forms part of the Trinity Broads. The broad has an abundant selection of birds and wildlife and is connected to Ormesby Little Broad and Ormesby Broad via a water passage under Main Road.
Hickling Broad is situated on the upper River Thurne and is the largest of the Norfolk Broads. The Broad is also a national nature reserve where you can find a vast amount of wildlife and rare insects.

Before kicking off a recent project, our team discussed the flat design trend on the web, and the resulting move away from skeuomorphism—"Should we avoid skeuomorphism and make everything flat?". A unanimous 'no' was quickly reached.
Flat design is a style which is trending at the moment. It's an option, not the answer. If used correctly now, it will endure, but if used for the sake of the trend, it is hipster; soon to be out of fashion, with it's inappropriateness revealed.

Have you ever wondered what you'd do if you happened to get stuck at 2 AM in the morning on I-40 with a broken-down radiator? Or, if on Christmas Day, with your car fully loaded with family and gifts, you a had flat on your way to meet relatives for dinner? That's when a 24-hour towing service would come in real handy. But are there towing services in Flagstaff that operate 24/7?
Thankfully, there are! And AM/PM Towing, true to it's name, in both of these cases would have an operator stationed ready for your call. No answering service, no phone machine message—a real live person!
Plus, because AM/PM has the largest fleet of tow trucks in Northern Arizona, odds are, you wouldn't have to wait an extra long time. They'd reach you sooner, rather than later. Probably in time to still carve the turkey!
What if you happened to be driving something extra large and heavy like an RV or any kind of truck? Who could help you with that at odd hours of the day? Funny thing is that AM/PM would not have any trouble with that either. They've got a full range of vehicles that can handle anything from a tractor trailer to a motorcycle. And if for some strange reason you got stuck while tooling around in something highly irregular like a US Army tank, they could even figure out a way to handle that. (See proof below.)
So if you live in Flagstaff, or anywhere in the Northern Arizona for that matter, you can drive in peace knowing there is at least one competent and experienced 24-hour towing service always available no matter what the season. And every one of AM/PM's operators is Wreckmaster® certified—Wreckmaster being the industry standard. They can handle anything that might come their way with perfect assurance, and if it's truly ginormous (like some of the photos on our home-page slider), they'll call for reinforcements.

The decision was arrived at a closed door meeting recently held between senior officials after municipal commisioner Sanjeev Jaiswal reportedly expressed his displeasure over the poor recovery of taxes. The administration is presently in the process of despatching notices to these defaulters, spread across the city, following which it is likely to start sealing and seizing their properties as mandated by the Maharashtra municipal act and provision of taxation rules.
A recent review of the tax recovery for the previous fiscal revealed that these defaulters were yet to clear theit dues for the last few years ranging in lakhs. The outstanding amount of few of these was higher than Rs 1 lakh following which the administration is now segregating them in categories based on the volume of their default amount.
An official from the department said on Wednesday that they were in the process of taking legal action on such defaulters. A notice will be sent initially followed by seizure or sealing of their properties proportionate to the tax defaults commited by the consumer.
"We have come across 900 properties whose tax has not been paid till last fiscal year end. The collective default amount works out to roughly Rs 80 crore. We are identifying the major defaults and will start attaching and subsequently auctioning those properties and recover our dues," said a senior official from the property tax department.
The property tax department is one of the major revenue earners for the corporation. Though, the department managed to recover nearly Rs 380 of the Rs 390 cr recovery target for last year by including new properties in the tax bracket and hike in taxes, previous arrears continues to pose a hurdle before the administration.
This year, the department has managed to earn nearly 30% of its annual target revenue in the first quarter of the present fiscal ending on June 30.

10 years already. 10 years you left us here. I was 15 when you left me with that big regret in my life. I wasn't mature enough but enough to make me think differently. If only I never had this regret, I may be still someone who like to ignore something.
It is true, about what people (and maybe God) says, 'there is a good thing behind a bad thing'. Indeed. And I decided to forgive myself, after years.
How it will be if you still here? What will you tell me if you know that I finally choose him to be with me, for the rest of my life? How you will be? Will you still as strong as 10 or 20 years ago? And how you will treat my kids later? Will you love them and protect them as much as you did for me?
I was so afraid when I got a call from mama, told me that the other grandma is dying. That day I flew to Lombok. I was really afraid that another regret I might have again. But thank God, she was fine.
We are growing older and older. I am not that old yet, but I can see the wrinkles on grandma, mama, and papa face more than 10 years ago.
But, if you are here now, I want to tell you that we are fine. Even Onyo (my lovely uncle) come here much more than before. He treats her mum well and nice. We spent new year's eve together here. Eat sate and fish, and any other dishes. Although the spicy delicious sambal that emak made, make me and aunty got stomachache. But the rest are totally fine.
And I am counting down the day that I will be with him, in future.
I always miss you and miss you more and more. You are not around but we always love you, grandpa.

Our Top Walks Around The Adelaide Hills
December 06, 2016
Living at Amblemead, we love that our future residents will get to experience the Adelaide Hills scenery so close to home...
Mt. Barker isn't just a pretty place to live in. The nature that surrounds this burgeoning Adelaide Hills suburb is being used to foster native wildlife, conserve water, and recycle it as well. We are talking about The Laratinga Wetlands, which was constructed in 1999 by the Mount Barker District Council.
The Laratinga Wetlands benefits the local Mt. Barker community in more ways than one. The treatment plant saves residents money each year in water rates, saving money for the council as well (and ultimately the taxpayer!) which uses the recycled water to irrigate parks and reserves in the area. The water from the plant is also sold to local farmers who benefit from the nutrient-rich water, which in turn makes farming land more fertile.
Residents can also benefit from the natural beauty of the Wetlands by using the linear trail which winds within, for walks, cycling and general Sunday strolling. We recently held a team meeting in the wetlands (ok, just two of us!) and talked for the entire 7km trail from Mt. Barker to Keith Stephenson Park, but mostly about how amazing the surrounds were and how great we felt. I think we might be yearning for a tree change too!
Living at Amblemead, we love that our future residents will get to experience the Adelaide Hills scenery so close to home as well as in neighbouring suburbs. Our recommendations for walks to add to your Summer 'to do' list:
Battunga Link Trails
Fidlers Lane Walk
Nairne Brukunga Walk
Blueberry Hill Walk
Totness Recreation Park Walk
What's your favourite trail in Mt. Barker and further afield? We want to know! Share on our Facebook page and let your new neighbours in on the local treasures!

I'm sure most people have already heard about the new USA Today spying story, which details how the NSA has been monitoring the phone calls of tens of millions of Americans. All the big telecommunications companies -- with the notable exception of Qwest, which I'm now proud to have as my phone provider -- gladly handed over their records to the government's most secret agency.
According to a new poll, great numbers of Americans just don't care.
The new survey found that 63 percent of Americans said they found the NSA program to be an acceptable way to investigate terrorism, including 44 percent who strongly endorsed the effort. Another 35 percent said the program was unacceptable, which included 24 percent who strongly objected to it.
A slightly larger majority--66 percent--said they would not be bothered if NSA collected records of personal calls they had made, the poll found.
Underlying those views is the belief that the need to investigate terrorism outweighs privacy concerns.
Of course, completely ignored by these idiots is that THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH INVESTIGATING TERRORISM.
This is just too depressing for words. And on my birthday no less.
(There's a movement on for people to switch their phone service to Qwest. A good idea.)

Images of the inside of your pet are often the most important tool in discovering what is wrong. At Bethel Veterinary Hospital, we are proud to offer computerized, digital x-rays of your pet. This allows the doctors to see greater detail about their internal organs and skeletons when compared to traditional film. They also can e-mail these pictures for consultation with a board certified radiologist; this rapid turnaround time can be crucial in saving a pet's life when time is of the essence.
Another area of radiology is the ultrasound exam. Drs. Bruce Kerns and Eric Linnetz are board certified internal medicine specialists who travel to our hospital to perform examinations of patients whose condition requires more advanced imaging. They often are instrumental in solving our pets' mysterious medical puzzles that prevent a diagnosis, which can in turn lead to life saving treatment and complete disease resolution.
Please contact our staff to ask about your pet's radiology needs, and to make an appointment.

Chi-Town Chic: All Black Everything
What angle best suits you etc." Basically learning how to pose for yourself is an essential life lesson.
It's maybe a laughable selfish sounding quote at first, but then when you see picture sets like this of yourself.. (especially when you are trying to be a successful fashion blogger).. you start to take shallow advice kind of seriously. That is why I am calling this picture set: The art of posing. Because posing really is an art, just like modeling is really a job and SUPER hard.
It was quite the eye-opening experience. Every fashion blogger goes through this at least once.

Karina Turner worked with volunteer coordinator Gib Caldwell this summer.
Milwaukee kids were working this summer, thanks to an initiative put together by the City of Milwaukee and funded by the State.
Mayor Barretts Summer Youth Jobs Initiative offered 350 jobs to young people in a variety of areas.
Non-profit and faith-based agencies were invited to participate by creating new jobs that otherwise would not have been available. The city covered the cost of hiring the young people, aged 16 to 20, for up to 120 hours of work for the period the program operated, between July 3 and August 18. The youth workers received a wage of $6.50 per hour. Crew leaders, who were a minimum of 21 years of age, were hired into agencies that offered eight or more positions. The crew leaders were allowed to work up to 150 hours during the program and earned a wage of $12 per hour.
In most cases agencies were authorized to hire up to three workers. In places that had preestablished youth employment programs and the necessary infrastructure and supervisory capabilities to handle larger numbers, up to 15 youth jobs were allowed.
Agencies that took on the challenge of creating jobs for the youth workers included Boys and Girls Clubs, the Grand Avenue Club, Journey House, the Latino Community Center, the Modjeska Theatre, Our Saviors Lutheran Church, Spirit of Truth Worship Center, Westside Health, Yeshiva Elementary School and the YMCA Community Development Center.
It was through the auspices of the YMCA CDC that a few young workers found themselves involved in jobs in the Riverwest community. Two young women, Bettina Rogers and Karina Turner, were hired to work at the Riverwest Co-op. Gabriel Brito received employment with the Riverwest eARTh Park Maintenance Pilot Program.
Bettina, 18, and Karina, 17, each worked 24 hours per week during their employment with the Riverwest Co-op. Their job was helping to design and implement a Junior Volunteer Program for the children and young teenagers who wish to participate in volunteer work at the Co-op. Both young women found themselves surprised by their work environment.
Its very friendly here, said Bettina with Karina adding, Its so nice here! Neither of them had known what to expect, as theyd been completely unfamiliar with the Riverwest Co-op. They were enthusiastic about their part in developing the Junior Volunteer program. It was pleasing for them to work with kids. Bettina and Karina were especially delighted that the youngsters enjoyed the co-op environment as much as they did.
The girls finished their employment with the co-op more knowledgeable about nutrition and organic foods. Bettina said shed learned it is better than regular food from grocery stores. They both plan to visit and probably volunteer with the Riverwest Co-op after their paid work there is done.
Bettina, a 2006 graduate of Riverside High School, will be joining the Army in the near future. Karina, who will graduate from Riverside in 2007, plans to continue her education at Marquette University.
Gabriel Brito, 16, put in most of his 20 hours per week in Riverwests Snail Crossing, the beautiful little park on Bremen Street. Occasionally he went across the river to help pull out buckthorn along the Eastbank Trail. At Snails Crossing he was involved in many forms of manual labor, from weeding and pulling out vines, to raking, sweeping and spreading new woodchips, to picking up garbage.
It was work, he said, sounding somewhat exhausted.
What he found more exhilarating were the creative aspects of his job. They included making and setting tiles as well as priming, sanding and painting. I designed one of the garbage cans, he proudly offered. He also appreciated that hed learned much in his job about trees, native plants and animal habitats.
Unfamiliar with Riverwest, Gabriel found the people in the community are a lot closer than Im used to.
Gabriel shortened his hours to 10 per week in the latter part of the program because he attends a year-round school, El Puente, where he is a sophomore. As of now his plan is to join the Marine Corps in a couple of years.
At this time its not known whether the Mayors program will be repeated. Judging by the experiences of the young people who found their way here to Riverwest and the positive response of the people who supervised them, it was a success. Lets hope it was just the first year and this much-needed employment will be offered again next summer.
