A friend of mine was doing this site not to long ago and it sounds pretty good. But she told me that it took her months just to reach the 10 cash out. Not sure, if it's lack on the site's part or maybe she just didn't but the time needed into it. But she said she did it just about every other day and that they only sent her maybe 2 emails a week and at the rate of 2 a week paying a cent that is very time consuming and it'd be very hard to get up to anything. I think for sites like this they should let people cash out at a lot early than ten bucks. I think the cash out should be a dollar on all sites like this. Seeing as it takes so long to get even a dollar due to the lack of ads to earn from. But that's just me. I do however have two sites that i do that are similar to this but they are easier to understand and they give you a bonus for singing up. I think the cash out is 20 not sure would have to check don't even remember but i can find out i have been doing them for about a month now and so far i am happy with them. They are clear and easy to understand and they send quite a few adds. There are times i have over 20 ads to earn from. One pays a cent each add the other pays 2 cents an add. They are DealsNCash and Hits4pay i like them because their payment ways are easy to understand and the site is as well there is no run around or confusing things about them. So i would recommend those two sites to place up here with the others.

Our repairs come with a 2-Year Guarantee!
At Ottawa Driveway Experts we only use Hot-Applied Elastomeric Compound as we have found that this rubber compound is best for Ottawa's colder climates. This fantastic product has an elasticity that remains flexible at -40° and it will not break or crack making it ideal for asphalt crack repairs. This sealant is ready for traffic within minutes and will not track, pick up or bleed.
Although specialized equipment and experience is required for applying this sealant, it is extremely cost effective as it will outperform every other system by years. It is the same system that the City of Ottawa uses to seal cracks on roadways.
We make sure the job is done right!
As a rule of thumb, the more care taken in preparation, the longer the sealant will last. At Ottawa Driveway Experts we do crack repair the right way:
• all cracks (less than 3/8″ wide) are routed to provide a reservoir for the sealant.
• all cracks are blasted clean and dried with a high velocity compressed air.
• we melt the sealant in a kettle to an exact temperature then transfer it to a heat applicator squeegee machine.
• finally the squeegee machine applies the sealant to the prepared crack.

The Preston & Wyre Railway Opening Day - Tragedy
The day the railway opened, 15th July 1840, had been accompanied by considerable celebration not only by the dignitaries but by ordinary folk as well. This is the account of the fatal outcome of a gentleman from Preston who had celebrated just a little too much...
Fatal Accident on the Line
Robert Hornby Porter of Poulton. A schoolmaster, stated:- A little after seven o'clock last night, I was returning with the train from Fleetwood. I was sitting on a first-class carriage, the second in the train. The deceased was sitting on the same carriage, on the same seat as myself: he appeared to me to be very intoxicated. When the train had got past the piles (on which the train crosses the Wyre water), which might be a mile and a quarter, the deceased, as I thought, was attempting to get to the other carriage, which was the first: and in that attempt, he fell down and disappeared in a moment. I called out as hard, as hard as I could shout to the engineer that a man had had fallen down. The engineer as soon as I believe he heard me, stopped the engine as soon as he could: and at some distance I saw a body lying. The engineer and the guard were both attending properly to their duties. No blame can be imputed to any of the servants of the railway company. The accident was entirely occasioned by the improper conduct of the deceased, in endeavouring to get to the first class carriage whilst the train was in motion. William McKay, No 236 of the county constabulary stated:- I was on duty yesterday at Fleetwood; and, about seven o'clock in the evening, I saw the deceased who was in a state of intoxication. He was then in a second class carriage; and I was authorised by a gentleman to take him out of the carriage, which I did; and in a few minutes afterwards, I took him out a second time. I did not consider him in a fit state to go as a passenger with the train. The deceased than went into the rear of the carriages, and I saw no more of him. The deceased id the same person I took out of the carriage.
Some other witnesses were examined, whose evidence was for the most part only corroborative of the above statements. The jury immediately returned a verdict of "Accidental death." We learned that Sir Peter Hesketh Fleetwood, on hearing of the melancholic event which thus marred the otherwise uninterrupted harmony of the day's proceedings, immediately deputed some gentlemen to enquire into the circumstances of the family of the deceased, and to provide for them in such a manner as the circumstances of the case required; and we have much pleasure in being able to state, that by the human attention of the worthy baronet and of other persons, the disconsolate widow and family of the deceased will in their bereavement receive timely relief. It is some consolation to observe, that no blame or carelessness can be imputed to any person connected to the management of the train.

For this second edition I'm going to start with the beautiful brunette from Firm Hand Stephanie Murray. This girl is very pretty and what a cute bottom on her. She only did 9 scenes in total back in 2014. She couldn't have had 2 hotter tops, as she did 3 scenes with the amazing Dani Daniels, and 6 with the red headed beauty Alison Miller. I would have definitely loved to see her stay around longer, and specifically do some M/F scenes!
Punished Brats has no shortage of blonde cuties. One that has to come to mind immediately is Lilly Page. She has done 7 scenes with Punished brats, doing a mix of M/F and F/F. Absolutely adorable with her long blond hair, cute face, and luscious bottom. I want more!
And the last girl for this post is Kiara from Real Life Spankings. They are known for their exclusive girls because they do not hire pros. This is another girl who has it all. Long haired brunette, very pretty, and an incredible bottom. I definitely wish she did more than 5 scenes, and only 4 solo!

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get set up? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very internet savvy so I'm not 100% positive. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Scores of official computers are said to have been infected with spyware concealed in PowerPoint and Microsoft Word programs. Information was taken daily by hackers under the direction of the Chinese military, redirected via computers in South Korea to disguise their tracks, der Spiegel claims.

"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attitude of the strong."
– Mahatma Gandhi
Throughout my late teens, I had a lot of anger and resentment that I carried around with me. Most of it was directed to one person who had betrayed me, and who I could no longer trust, nor forgive. Right up until I was twenty, the thought that I could or should forgive them never even crossed my mind. I just wanted to hurt them.
For a few years, I lived in the past. I thought constantly how life would have been – had they not wronged me. I was blaming them for my current situation, for what I didn't have. And it was preventing me from moving on and actually living life to the fullest.
This story is mine, but it's a universal one. Many of us have been hurt by someone in the past, and if you're reading this right now its highly likely that you are one of us. Although our stories will differ, what ties them together is that we all find it hard to forgive, forget and move on.
I eventually learned how to forgive, and forgiveness is now just a part of my life. I know now the power of letting sleeping dogs lie and moving on. So let's take a look at 10 helpful tips for girls who want to forgive and forget.
Remember That Everyone Makes Mistakes
At the end of the day, we are all human beings who are just trying to make some sense of this thing called life. And we all make mistakes. Some make bigger errors of judgement than others, but rather than brutally call them out for it and say that they've ruined your life, try employing some empathy and understanding.
Mistakes happen, but what's important is that a person learns from their mistakes and moves on. For them to do that, it's key that you accept that mistakes will happen and forgive them. In this way, you can both move forward together.
Don't Expect Too Much From Others
Ever had huge expectations from a person, only to feel angry when they didn't live up to them? Perhaps you then got so offended that you grew sad, sorry and disenchanted. You blamed them entirely and couldn't forgive them for what they did to you.
It's important to temper your expectations and be fairer. Once you start expecting things from people, perpetual resentment sets in when they don't meet this high standards. But is it really their fault?
You're Not Perfect
You're not perfect. No one is. At some point in your own life you will need to ask forgiveness from someone. And you might not realise it, but there are people in your life right now who you have hurt or offended without even realising it.
Often, we are not aware of our own flaws and faults. It takes someone else to point out to us that we are capable of hurting others with our ways.
Live In The Moment
If you don't forgive someone, you are holding onto a link to the past. And when you do this, you aren't living in the present moment. This creates problems because it stops you from actually enjoying your life right now. Instead of making the right decisions, you are instead so effected by what has happened previously that you cannot think straight. As a consequence, you veer off course and make the wrong decisions.
Living in the moment means forgetting the past and ignoring thoughts about the future. It means focusing on the here and now and appreciating very little detail, from the way the flowers gently sway in the summer breeze to the smell of freshly cut lawn.
Play Role Reversal
Imagine if you were the one who had made a calamitous mistake and wanted someone to forgive you? If they were being super stubborn about it, you'd feel pretty bad. You'd be upset.
This is exactly how people feel when you don't forgive them for their errors. They've made a mistake, they know they have. And now they feel absolutely terrible because you won't forgive them. Prolonging their agony just makes the both of you feel worse.
Don't Take It So Personally
Sometimes, a person might do us wrong without intending to. Yet we have this funny way of taking things so personally that we assume they did it deliberately. For this reason, we simply can't forgive them.
Just remember that not everyone is out to get you. It might have appeared that someone was purposely ignoring you, but maybe they were busy. Or maybe they were waiting on you. Often, a person's behaviour doesn't have anything to do with you.
You'll Have More Energy
Holding onto anger and seething resentment means that you're holding onto a whole load of negative energy. And it takes a LOT more energy to stay angry and mad than it does to release it all by forgiving someone and showing them a bit of love.
Why waste your energy in such a negative way? Release it and use what energy you have much more productively. Be kind to people, show them compassion. Change the world for the better, rather than dwelling on the bad stuff.
Let Forgiveness Become Your Thing
Imagine if forgiveness was everyone's thing? What a wonderful world it would be! Instead of anger and resentment, try practising forgiveness each day and see what happens.
Stop Hoping For A Better Past
A lot of people who find it hard to forgive and forget also find it hard to stop picturing what things could have been like. I was guilty of the same thing. I couldn't forgive them because I knew they'd ruined everything. What would have been a fantastic future was now in tatters.
But it's so important that you stop hoping for a better past. What's done is done. By dwelling on the past, you're not allowing yourself the chance to shape a better present and future.
You Are Not Condoning
Some people might say they can't forgive someone because it means they are condoning their actions. But you aren't. You are forgiving them, not condoning what they did.

Weeknote 2.0
Conversations and Triangulation
My fourth and final semester began last week.
My first class was Leadership, Ethics and Professional Practice. In one exercise, the instructor asked our class to devise, within five minutes, a personal tagline and state three career goals we hope to achieve within five years. When he issued the task, I worried that five minutes wasn't enough time; as I began to write, I was surprised how easily my response sprung forth.
Tagline: Actively shaping the field of interaction design
Five-year goals: write a book; organize a conference; chair a design department
Since the class Thesis Preparation over a year ago, I've been thinking about impact, how, I, as a design-student can create impacts, both narrow and wide. One approach to creating wide impact, is to use my thesis as the seed of an idea, that I fund beyond school, that grows into a product or service that impacts the lives of many. Another approach is to create narrow impacts, among designers, then go on to create wide impacts, either as an entrepreneur, an author, or department chair after school. Why spend time to create narrow impacts? I'm compelled to enter a dialogue with design peers, through work.
In a panel organized by the undergraduates of the CCA Graphic Design department in 2009, Eric Heiman, founder of Volume Design, spoke about the importance of designers submitting entries to national design competitions as to engage in nation-wide conversations with contemporaries. Of course, the notion of asynchronous and non-local conversations through work has roots that precede interaction and graphic design: architecture has a "long tradition of 'ideas of competition' whose entries are not usually intended to be built but to publicly disseminate radical ideas about how architecture, and possibly the life it accommodates, might be conceived differently". (Dunne, 2008)
Designers I hope to have conversations with include Revital Cohen, Greg Tran and this team (PDF) from the MIT Media Lab.
I hope to talk about form with Cohen, identifying "critical imperatives" for our respective, but verging, disciplines with Tran and the manipulation of the physical characteristics of future materials with team MIT.
In this conversation, I would talk about Anthony Dunne's work, Hertzian Tales, wherein he writes about the potential of objects to "change our our relationship to the world"; how, objects seldom have "solely practical significance, but also carry ritual and symbolic meaning"; how, he proposes an "aesthetic of use", one that, "through the interactivity made possible by computing, seeks developing a more nuanced cooperation" between user and object; a cooperation that explores how devices might enrich people's lives—consider, for a moment, how many devices do not enrich, rather, impoverish—; and how designers should be free to use fine art means: "provoking, making ambiguous, making strange". (Dunne, 2008)
I would talk about my goals, to: bridge the virtual and real, the material and immaterial, the "electromagnetic"—the "ubiquitous, dematerialized, and intelligent artificial environment"—and the spatially inhabited." (Dunne, 2008)
To this end, I created this sketch to triangulate my thesis and technical advisors:
- Dunne, Anthony. 2008. Hertzian Tales: Electronic Products, Aesthetic Experience, and Critical Design. Cambridge and London: The MIT Press.

RapidReader's® patented high speed technology eliminates the most common barriers to reading speed...
Eye Movement across a page and "Sounding Out" words to ourselves.It works by optimizing the display of text so you can easily and naturally read the same way you see a movie: by simply looking. This however is much more complicated than just putting words on a screen. HOW the words are displayed is the key to speed and comfort for everyday use. After more than 12 years of research and development and thousands of users, RapidReader's unique software engine was created to automatically analyses a file or document and apply the natural rhythms of human speech to the display of text. This powerful difference means you can now read the kinds of files you use the most with ease, comfortably and far, far faster.
Why RapidReader Works: The Nature of Reading
What would it take to read faster? That was the question clinical researchers had been asking for years. And they found an important answer. They changed the text into a sort of movie. This method used in the original Johns Hopkins study (and many other studies since) is called "Rapid Serial Visual Display" (RSVP). It has a number of powerful advantages when it comes to accelerating your reading speed. At Johns Hopkins lab the subjects were reading 1600 words per minute with no training whatsoever.*
The RapidReader Difference:The Importance of Rhythm in Human Speech
Where RapidReader is unique is its patented ability to analyze and display the text to you in the natural rhythms of human speech.
The result? Much easier reading and most importantly, enhanced comfort and comprehension even at very high speeds.
RapidReader goes far beyond the basic RSVP method. The problem is that for everyday use the speed gained with standard RSVP isn't worth the trade off in reading discomfort. The repetitive, robotic, machine-gun quality of the word display was tiring and unnatural. This turned out to be a major practical problem for everyday reading.
RapidReader changed all that with a breakthrough that took nearly 12 years of research, development and testing with thousands of people. Now the speed advantages of a computer display can make accelerated reading a "lean back", natural experience. The result is unparalleled ease for everyday use.
If you think back to any conversation you've had you'll realize that verbal communication is filled with pauses and timing for emphasis. This contributes greatly to our understanding. RapidReader is able to provide this important aspect of comprehension by analyzing the document file to create the timing for the appearance of each word. In other words It is designed to mimic human speech. Getting this timing right took several years of research and development. As you change your reading speed between 100 and 950 wpm, the rhythm subtly adapts to retain comfort, naturalness and increase comprehension.
*For more about the neuro-psychology of accelerated reading please visit the "Science behind RapidReader" page.
RapidReader enables you to read the way you see the rest of the world... By simply looking at it. Eye movement is one of the principal barriers to reading speed. For thousands of years we've essentially had to read the same way. We had to use muscles to move our eyes from one word to the next. Compared with how fast we can think it's extremely inefficient. It means basically your brain is always waiting for your eye muscles to catch up. Your eyes must constantly move-stop-focus-move-stop-focus over and over again. That's a lot of work. RapidReader does that work for you by bringing the words directly into the center of your field of view.
Another major factor that slows us down is "sounding out" words to ourselves as we read them.
This is a left over from when we were learning to read as children. Your teacher or parent would point to a word in a book and pronounce it for you. Eventually you'd make the association between the symbol on the page and the sound. You learn "C-A-T" as the symbol for a furry animal that scratches up the furniture. However, once you learned to recognize the symbol, you no longer needed to pronounce it to know what it means. We Humans are Blazingly Fast at Pattern Recognition.
Once you get past a certain reading speed the tendency to sound out goes away.* (Usually about 250 wpm). Past that speed you're simply reading too fast to to be talking to yourself. Suddenly you begin to read by quickly understanding what you're seeing.
In brain scans researchers discovered that this method of accelerated reading moved the process from the speech centers of the brain to the far faster visual cortex.
*For more about the visual cortex, Broca's area and Wernicke's area in accelerated reading please visit the "Science behind RapidReader" page.
PLEASE NOTE: RapidReader is Currently Windows Only.
Using RapidReader the First Time
What is Flooding and Why Do You Care?
For most people RapidReader is a new kind of experience and in the beginning it may take a couple of minutes to get used to. Everyone has a different speed they're comfortable with for different kinds of reading.
The Flooding Technique is a clinically proven way to easily multiply your speed the first time you use RR.
SEE HERE how to do it. You'll be amazed at how quickly you'll comfortably accelerate your reading speed..

If you are in a field of study that requires a graduate degree like law or medicine, or have a particularly strong interest in a subject area and want to enter the work force with a higher degree, you may want to consider attending graduate school after completing your undergraduate work. Typically, graduate schools will evaluate you in five different areas: grade point average, test scores, letters of recommendation, statement of purpose, and experience. Other factors may also be taken into consideration (e.g. personal interviews, writing samples, portfolios, etc). The Academic and Career Planning Center offers several resources and services to help you decide if graduate school is right for you, explore your graduate school options, and navigate through the application process.
Making the decision to apply to graduate or professional school involves the consideration of several factors and long-term planning. The first step to applying for graduate/professional school is to do some thinking about your reasons for going. Research the career fields that interest you and the requirements for admittance. Admission to graduate/professional school is competitive; be honest with yourself about your chances of getting accepted. Graduate school can be very expensive and a big commitment. It is important that you spend some time thinking about your reasons for wanting to enroll.
Good reasons to enroll:
Not so good reasons to enroll:
Applying to graduate school at USD? Graduate School Application
Need a graduate assistantship? Graduate Assistantship Application

I am not sure if this source is reliable, but Edmunds claims that Toyota and Subaru have decided that the Toyota-badged version of the upcoming co-developed boxer-engined rear wheel drive coupe will only be sold in Japan, while Subaru will market it internationally.
Edmunds further added that the companies have decided to mimic the dimensions and power to weight ratio of the now discontinued Honda Integra Type R, so if that is true, expect about 200 horsepower and a wheelbase of around 2400mm.

Students and teachers, many of whom showed up at Julia's wake and the two previous fundraisers, also contributed to Julia's Legacy at a soccer game between Andrew and Sandburg High Schools in May of 2014. This was through the efforts of one of Julia's Dad's students, Alicia Halikas. It was originally her idea, she got it approved by her coach and the schools' administrations, and she coordinated bake sales, t-shirt sales and other concessions. Much thanks also goes to her mother and father who helped immensely during the game.

Bleeding in pregnancy should always be investigated, even though in many cases it is not unusual. If you are bleeding, put in a clean sanitary pad, but don't use tampons because they can increase the risk of infection. Monitor your bleeding whilst you seek help.
If your bleeding is light, just spotting, or a pink discharge, or if you have mild cramping in your tummy or back, speak to your GP or midwife. Ask for an appointment on the same day, and take your sanitary pad to show the discharge and describe how you feel. Check whether you feel any changes in your usual pregnancy symptoms .
Your GP will discuss your symptoms with you and may ask you to monitor the progress of minor symptoms until another appointment.Alternatively, your GP may send you to a hospital with ultrasound facilities and specialist care.
If you are unsure or have questions about what is happening, you can always call the NHS non-emergency number 111 at any time.
When to seek urgent help
If you are experiencing severe bleeding – such as soaking through your pad every hour or less – or if you have severe abdominal pain, or feel dizzy and faint, seek medical help urgently.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, you should also seek assistance from your GP or the nearest A&E department, just in case of an ectopic pregnancy, where the baby grows outside the womb:
- severe and persistent abdominal pain, often on one side
- vaginal bleeding or spotting, most often after the pain has started
- pains in your shoulder tip
- diarrhoea and vomiting
- feeling very faint and light-headed, or fainting
Symptoms of an ectopic pregnancy usually appear between weeks 5 and 14 of the pregnancy.

With a couple of other friends of ours, your correspondents here at the Hoover Street Rag were
foolish intrepid enough to attempt the Indiana road trip this year, so this is the eyewitness account from Memorial Stadium.
- On the drive down to Bloomington, I saw at least four other cars that were obviously Michigan fans going down to Bloomington and didn't see any obvious Hoosiers.
- I pulled into the lot north of Memorial Stadium at about 12:40 or so and parked in a sea of maize and blue. I guess Hoosiers don't tailgate. The lot, by the way, was only about 15% full with fewer than three hours left before kickoff.
We must protect this house!
- Indiana's campus is gigantic when compared to our Central Campus. I had plenty of time to kill, so I went wandering in the hope of finding something to eat. Half an hour later, I found a strip mall with a pizza joint (closed), a bar (closed), and a restaurant (closed).
- On the plus side, I walked around campus for over an hour in full Michigan gear without being harassed by anyone, and the campus itself is beautiful. The buildings are all made of the local limestone and they're architecturally coordinated.
- The alumni association tailgate really is a good thing to find when you don't know the area.
The game itself was just shy of being everything a Wolverine fan could ask for. The defense allowed two drives worthy of being called such, and only let the Hoosiers get three points out of them. Michigan got up early and set the cruise control after Steve Breaston finished his 83-yard punt return in the north endzone. Several times in the second half, I declared, "I love boring football!" to anyone who would listen.
I expect so much out of the defense these days that I got upset every time Kellen Lewis made a play with his feet, despite the fact that he finished with 37 positive rushing yards...and 32 negative ones. Almost every time Lewis escaped from a sack, he found all of his receivers covered downfield and a Wolverine coming up to put him down. Allowing only 131 yards to an offense as potent as Indiana's is a bigger deal than it sounds.
In other news, Morgan Trent was again called for a ridiculous, weak pass interference penalty on a ball that would've been uncatchable anyway. The ref who flagged him, oddly enough, looked a lot like Stanley from The Office.
Special teams were good enough. Indiana seemed to take the ball out to the 30 every time and got one out closer to the 45, but we contained them. Getting into a field position game with Ohio State makes me uneasy, but it's not as scary as the Ted Ginn-shaped beast in my nightmares. Rivas had his random flake-out miss on the extra point (which doinked off both goalposts, it looked like), so now he doesn't have to do that in the OSU game.
The offense just rolled. It was 14-0 before Indiana had a chance to wake up and get their only points of the day. Michigan continued to grind through their line all day long, spreading 43 attempts between six tailbacks and getting 202 yards out of them. They pulled out one long throw of the day and Steve Breaston hauled it in. Henne only had 16 attempts on the day, so you can't draw much of anything from the pass game.
That was the sort of rock-solid performance I like seeing from the team before going into a big game. And this is the biggest game any of them have ever played in, the biggest game in this rivalry since the mid-'70's, and the only time they've met as #1 vs. #2. I should write myself a reminder to breathe.

How do Generals work?
Each General is a unique card with a unique ability that is triggered when some conditions are met. This condition can take place right at the start of the battle, after a few seconds, when you deploy five cards, or even after dealing certain percent of damage on the enemy's bunker. After the trigger is activated, the General's ability (which can be the deployment of some troops or the addition of extra shields on your bunkers) will automatically take place.

The Faceless Girl
What am I? Kutori thought to herself.
Kutori Nota Seniolis. A fully grown fairy soldier. User of Dug Weapon Seniolis. One who met Willem, learned much, and was given hope.
… really.
She called over Aiseia in the middle of the night.
"Brr it's pretty cold, huh? Shoulda worn another layer."
The two of them stood on top of a small hill next to the harbor district. The wind was always strong here. The view was also good, so they would easily be able to spot anyone coming.
"Sorry. I'll keep this short, so bear with me."
"… hm?" Aiseia looked at Kutori questioningly as she shivered. "If you brought me all the way out here for a short talk, I'm guessing it's something you really don't anyone else to hear."
"Yeah, something like that. Well, you can probably already guess what it's about."
"No no. I just know a few more facts and listen more closely than the average person. I'm not some god that knows everything, ya know?" Aiseia said as she put her lantern on the ground and sat down. "So there's actually something I wanted to ask you too. Mind if I go first?"
"… that's fine. What is it?"
"Who are you?"
Aiseia asked that question in such a nonchalant manner, almost as if she were simply asking for tonight's menu. Kutori's breathing froze for a split second.
"Kutori Nota Seniolis," she said slowly, as if deeply reflecting upon each individual word.
"You sure?"
"Do I look like someone else?"
"Guess not…"
The wind played with Kutori's hair as it whistled by. The sky blue melded into the surrounding darkness of night, becoming nearly indistinguishable. The red, however, could clearly be seen dancing about in midair.
"Well then that's all from me. What did you want to talk about?"
"Nn." Kutori gazed up at the sky. Black clouds which looked like nothing more than shadows glided rapidly over their heads. Beyond them lay a slightly blurred starry sky and a slightly dimmed gold tinted moon. "I thought for a long time about how to talk about this, but given your question I assume you've already figured it all out?"
"Not really. That just now was a good old technician style guess. There's only one thing I know with certainty: the encroachment from your previous life hasn't gone away or paused. Kutori Nota Seniolis' memory and personality are being hijacked as we speak, am I right?"
"Mhm. That's what it looks like." Kutori grabbed her wildly out of control hair and held it close to her chest. "Encroachment itself is a rare occurrence, and encroachment before twenty is a rare case among rare cases, was it? When your encroachment happened, was it like this too?"
"Yep. Or at least, I think so. I myself don't remember a thing about it, and the exact process might have been a bit different than in your case." Aiseia smiled, but Kutori knew it was only a mask. She always made that face whenever she wanted to hide her true emotions. "You've known me for a long time. So you knew the old Aiseia too, right? Cheerful, always meddling in other people's business, not honest with herself at all… her hobby was writing fiction, she never missed a single day in her diary… Aiseia Myse Valgalis was that kind of girl. I first came to know all that after I read through her diary."
Ah, back then, Kutori thought. That was around two years ago. Aiseia, who had just become a fully grown fairy soldier, suddenly said she caught a cold and holed up in her room for days. She must have been desperately scouring all those diary entries that whole time. Looking back on it, Kutori felt like Aiseia's personality changed just a little bit after those few days… or maybe not. It was hard to tell. They weren't very close back then.
"Was it rough?"
"You bet. I thought I was going to go crazy. A few times I even wanted to die. But doing that wouldn't bring back the owner of this body… the real Aiseia. The only way I could pay for my sins was to take on the life I had erased… to carry on the existence of Aiseia Myse Valgalis without anyone noticing. Or anyways, that's what I told myself, and somehow I've made it this far."
"So we were tricked this whole time?"
"That's right. Are you mad?"
Am I mad? Kutori asked herself. She could feel no anger. She felt no bewilderment either. The truth simply sunk in quietly, as if she had merely learned a new piece of trivia.
"A diary, huh?" she took a seat next to Aiseia. "Maybe I should keep one too."
"Well in your case, it might be a bit hard to go unnoticed. Unlike with me, your whole appearance and everything is changing."
Ah. The red mixed in with Kutori's hair would most likely completely take over the blue sooner or later. Such a noticeable transformation would indeed be quite difficult to hide from everyone.
"Would you even want someone to take on your life though? Not that I'm trying to tell you what to do or anything, but do you really want someone else going to the places where you always wanted to go or being where you always longed to be?"
Ah. That did sound rather unpleasant.
"Any feelings of wanting to go someplace or wishes of wanting to be somewhere will probably disappear anyways, right? So there's nothing to really be upset about." Kutori hugged her knees tightly. "… or maybe it would be better to die now, while I still remember things."
"That might be one viable option. Seriously. Right now there are a few things remaining in your heart to cling onto, things that help you live on. But soon they'll be gone. It'll probably be even more painful than you think."
"That's true…" She buried her head in between her knees. The girl sitting next to her placed an arm around Kutori's shoulder. "Aiseia?"
"It's pretty windy and cold, ya know? My body temperature's not high like Nephren's, but I hope it'll do."
"… aha." A small laugh escaped Kutori's lips. "Thanks. You're pretty warm."
"Well that's good. Life was worth living after all, huh?"
It wasn't clear whether it was simply the result of coincidence piled on top of coincidence or if it was an outcome caused by someone's intentional actions, but the encroachment from her previous life was certainly occurring, and it was certainly a real threat.
It devoured the very essence that made her herself, destroyed her heart, chipped away at her memories, murdered her soul… and then, through the process of remembering, the revived spirit of her predecessor gradually hijacked the remainder of her physical body. The process all occurred automatically, regardless of the will of the owner of her previous life.
No miracle of love saved her.
Or perhaps one did, but time was almost up.
The girl named Kutori Nota Seniolis would soon disappear for good.
"Are you keeping it a secret from Mr. Technician?"
"Yeah. If he knew, he would be worried."
"What's wrong with that? I think you have the privilege to have him worrying about you."
Kutori had thought of that before. But if she told him, she would only be able to see his desperate, worrisome face for the rest of her remaining time. She wanted him to think about her. But she didn't want him to cry over her. She didn't want him to see her as some tragic heroine.
"I want us both to be happy for just a little longer… I guess."
Aiseia didn't look very impressed. "Saying lines that sound like they're straight of a cheesy romance… at least we know you're definitely still Kutori."
The two looked at each other and smiled bittersweetly.
"Well at the very least, no more Venom, okay?" Aiseia said faintly. "Of course, I'm me, and you're you. We're both fairies, but in the end all that means is that we're both lost souls of children that died too young or whatever. We're family, but at the same time we're completely different. There's no guarantee that what's happening to you is working the same way as what happened to me. But still, at least listen to that piece of advice."
"Mm." Kutori nodded.
"Obviously, that also means no touching Dug Weapons. That's the least you can do if you want to remain here as long as you can."
"Mm… understood. Thanks, Aiseia."
"By the way, you're not gonna ask, huh? What my real name is or where I'm from or any of that?"
Kutori failed to see the importance of those questions. "You're Aiseia too. Cheerful, always meddling in other people's business, not honest with yourself at all." She lightly poked Aiseia on the tip of her nose. "Our precious comrade, and, above all, friend. You don't look like anyone else to me."
"Hahaha. Well then I'm glad."
She could never trust that smile of Aiseia's. Everyone in the fairy warehouse agreed on that point. After all, who would trust someone that keeps on smiling regardless of whether they're happy, sad, angry, or confused?
Despite that, just now, it occurred to Kutori that maybe, just maybe, she could trust it sometimes.
On the rim of Aiseia' eye, illuminated by the faint, shaky light of the lantern beside them, a single tear glistened.

The Texas Motor Speedway Media Relations Department is located on the 6th floor of The Speedway Club outside of Turn 1 of the speedway.
FORT WORTH, Texas (February 28, 2018)
The 2018 racing season is well underway in the NASCAR's three national touring series while the Verizon IndyCar Series season is set to drop the green flag on its first race on March 11. On Wednesday, drivers representing all four series took part in Texas Motor Speedway's annual Media Day Luncheon inside the Grand Ballroom of the world-renowned motorsports facility.
Kurt Busch of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series; James Hinchcliffe of the Verizon IndyCar Series; Christopher Bell of the NASCAR XFINITY Series; and Austin Wayne Self of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series held breakout sessions with members of print, radio, TV and digital media.
Following the interview portion of the program, all of the drivers attended a special formal luncheon with more than 200 guests and dignitaries, including three-time Indianapolis 500 champion Johnny Rutherford, Speedway Motorsports President and CEO Marcus Smith and Texas Motor Speedway President Eddie Gossage.
"It's wonderful to have so many people that love and cover the sport of auto racing in this room to celebrate a season that I think is going to be one of the best and most competitive that we've seen in a long time," Gossage said. "We've got veterans in their prime competing against these young bucks in Cup, a new aero kit IndyCar, and a healthy mix of up-and-coming talent in both the XFINITY Series and the Camping World Truck Series."
All four series will race at Texas Motor Speedway in 2018, with the first major event weekend coming in one month for the O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 NASCAR doubleheader.
Guest Highlights
Busch Gives Out Early-Season Grades: A 26th-place finish in the season-opening Daytona 500 and an eighth in last weekend's race at Atlanta Motor Speedway may not look on paper like Kurt Busch is off to a strong start in 2018. But the 2017 Daytona 500 winner was all smiles Wednesday as he talked about the start of the season and what lies ahead for the 39-year-old veteran.
"We had a great chance and took a big chance to try and win that Daytona 500 for a second straight year. And then last week at Atlanta, we led 50 laps and had a strong car," Busch said. "I'd give our start a B+ right now; there's definitely room for improvement. But I like the direction of where this 41 Team is headed."
Busch, who set a new qualifying speed record at Texas Motor Speedway last November at 26.877 seconds (200.915 mph), also noted that getting back to Victory Lane at the 1.5-mile tri-oval is also high on his list of priorities in 2018.
"Racing at Texas is a lot like racing at Las Vegas (Motor Speedway) this weekend, it's important to perform well and learn what you can because these are tracks that we come back to in the playoffs," said Busch, whose only win in 30 starts at TMS came back in 2009. "We showed a lot of speed here at the end of last year and I expect us to come back here (in April) with a similar approach."
Hinchcliffe On New Aero Kit, New Teammate: Much of the offseason talk in the Verizon IndyCar Series has revolved around the newly developed universal aerodynamic bodywork kit for the Dallara IR-12 chassis. The kit will be used by all teams in the 17-race season, which drops the green flag in two weeks on the streets of St. Petersburg, Fla.
The new aero kit is the culmination of more than two years of conversations, strategy, design and testing. James Hinchcliffe, an eight-year veteran of the series, is cautiously optimistic about what the new design will mean for the sport, knowing it will take a little time to figure it all out.
"It's been a long offseason with a lot of testing. We're essentially starting from scratch, which isn't a bad thing, but it does mean there will be some bumps in the road along the way to getting this right," Hinchcliffe said. "I anticipate it will take until this race here in June to really hit our stride as a whole. I have little doubt that we'll put on one hell of a show."
The native of Oakville, Ontario, is also excited to have a new teammate, Robert Wickens, on board at Schmidt Peterson Motorsports. Of course, Hinchcliffe and Wickens, a native of Guelph, Ontario, have more in common than both being from a Toronto suburb.
"He's been someone I consider to be my best friend for the last two decades," said the 31-year-old Hinchcliffe. "We're both competitive guys, but I think our relationship and communications will really help us as drivers and as a team."
Bell On Moving Up, Announces Running In Stewart's Dirt Event: Christopher Bell grew up in Norman, Okla., but has "lots of memories driving down Interstate 35W for many races in the DFW area."
Bell, 23, won the 2017 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series championship for Kyle Busch Motorsports and is now a full-time driver in the NASCAR XFINITY Series for Joe Gibbs Racing. And while the championship is nice, he knows that success at one level doesn't automatically breed success at the next level.
"Winning the championship for KBM was awesome. But I think that's all in the past now and it doesn't really translate to the XFINITY level," said Bell, who won the truck series race at TMS last June. "What I will say is that confidence is so important. The championship gave me a lot of confidence, but I also know it doesn't take long to lose that confidence.
"At the end of the day, it's all about winning. If you win you get promoted and if you lose you get demoted. My focus is on winning. If I can do that than hopefully (a ride in the Cup Series) won't be too far behind."
Bell, who won his second consecutive Chili Bowl crown earlier this year, announced at Media Day that he will compete in Tony Stewart Presents Texas Sprint Car Nationals event in April at the Texas Motor Speedway Dirt Track.
Bell, who competed in the event last year, will only compete on one night – Saturday, April 7 – of the two-night show. He will qualify and compete in the My Bariatric Solutions 300 NASCAR XFINITY Series race earlier that Saturday and then in the sprint cars that evening.
Self On His Move To Niece Motorsports, Alliance With GMS Racing: Austin Wayne Self, a 21-year-old native of Austin, Texas, is entering his third season in the Camping World Truck Series and first full season with Niece Motorsports. His new team has an alliance with GMS Racing, which produced 2016 Camping World Truck Series champion Johnny Sauter. Self is hopeful that the relationship will help him move into a better position to win races and build on his already established experience in the series.
"To be able to run similar (equipment) to what Johnny's got over there, that's just huge," Self said. "That's a powerhouse team over there, so for us to be able to walk through that door and have that kind of relationship … I think that's really great for our team. Now it's up to me to put that information we get off the track and start producing on the track."
Surprise Birthday Party For Lone Star JR: Three-time Indianapolis 500 champion Johnny Rutherford went to the Texas Motor Speedway Media Day and a birthday celebration broke out. Rutherford, a resident of Fort Worth, doesn't officially celebrate his milestone 80th birthday until March 12th, but Texas Motor Speedway got a head start on the festivities.
Texas Motor Speedway had video clips from various drivers, including A.J. Foyt, Al Unser Jr. and Helio Castroneves, wishing him a Happy 80th, the audience sang "Happy Birthday" and the best surprised was saved for last.
Erika Bridges, owner of Confections in Cake in Burleson, presented a custom-designed cake that was a replica of Rutherford's No. 4 Pennzoil Chapparal that was nicknamed the "Yellow Submarine."
"What can I say to the guy that won his first Indy 500 the year I was born (1974) and the guy that has the most beautiful autograph I've ever seen," Verizon IndyCar Series driver Tony Kanaan said. "Happy Birthday. I hope I can make it as long as you have and be as good looking as you are.
"Wow! Eighty? It can't be 80. You look like what, fifties? It's incredible," added Helio Castroneves. "We've known each other for a long time and I wish you all the best. From one three-time Indianapolis 500 winner to another, I wish you great happiness and hopefully I'll see you in Texas."
Rutherford is a member of the Texas Motorsports Hall of Fame as well as six other national and international motorsports hall of fames. A three-time winner of the Indianapolis 500, Rutherford is a champion of INDYCAR racing on the track as well as off of it, serving as an ambassador and spokesman for the sport.
"What a great tribute and I can't thank those guys enough for their kind words," Rutherford said. "It's always fun to come to Texas Motor Speedway and this is another visit that I won't soon forget. What a great day."
TMS Bobblehead Series Revealed: Everything is bigger in Texas and so are the bobbleheads. The Texas Motor Speedway Sweethearts unveiled a special, life-sized version bobblehead of seven-time Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion Jimmie Johnson during Media Day
to showcase the upcoming season's bobblehead series. Johnson's bobblehead, sponsored by Blue Bunny Ice Cream, will kick off the series at the O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 on Sunday, April 8.
"My arms seem a little short, but it's awesome," said Johnson, a seven-time TMS race winner and the reigning O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 champion. "The face is surprisingly close, but the cowboy hat here looks way better than the real one does on me in Victory Lane. I look like Howdy Doody in Victory Lane."

Newest Sweetheart On 'Survivor: Ghost Island': Libby Vincek, a native East Bernard, Texas, made her debut as the newest member of Texas Motor Speedway's Great American Sweethearts during Wednesday's luncheon. Later tonight, Vincek will make her on-screen debut as a castaway contestant on the CBS' hit reality show "Survivor: Ghost Island" beginning at 7 p.m. CT.
"I want to prove that this southern small town blonde is more than just a pretty face," Vincek said when asked why she wanted to be on "Survivor." "'Survivor' is a chance to show off my skills and strengths — both mental and physical — and use them to their full potential and to my advantage. The sense of adventure, travel, social game, the game as a whole just has everything I'm really into along with a challenge I was up for."
Vincek, who describes herself as adventurous, strong and outgoing, is a 25-year-old social media strategist who received her bachelor's degree in Film, Television and Digital Media from Texas Christian University in 2016. A former Disney World Princess and Miss American Teen Coed-Texas, Vincek hosts her own channel on YouTube, offering tips on fitness and healthy food choices.
"Being a Sweetheart means that I get to represent an awesome sport and my home state at the same time," Vincek said. "I'm excited to really get to know the NASCAR fans. They are so loud and proud of their sport, and representing that is a huge job that I'm truly honored to be apart of."
"Survivor: Ghost Island" was filmed on the Mamanuca Islands in Fiji over the course of 39 days from June 5-July 13, 2017.
Torchy's Tacos Now Serving: Renovations to the 5,100-square-foot building next to the Texas Motor Speedway Media Center in the infield are nearly complete as Torchy's Tacos will move in to begin providing its "Damn Good" tacos beginning with the O'Reilly Auto Parts 500 NASCAR doubleheader weekend April 5-8.
Offering an untraditional spin on one of the most recognizable food items in the world, every order is made from scratch, Torchy's Tacos offers a menu that features breakfast and lunch/dinner tacos as well as salads, chips and dips, sides, and dessert items.
The location in Texas Motor Speedway's infield underwent extensive renovations beginning in late January. The new-look restaurant will be hard to miss with its massive lighted letters on the outside of the building.
Stay tuned for news on the Texas Motor Speedway Media Naaaaaaacho Bar.
In Case You Missed It: Global IT services leader DXC Technology has signed an agreement with Texas Motor Speedway to become the entitlement sponsor of the Verizon IndyCar Series race held annually in June at the world-renowned motorsports facility.

Financial terms and length of the contract were not disclosed.
What They Are Saying
"We're constantly investing and making improvements at all of our speedways to enhance the fan experience. We don't have to do those things, but we have an undying passion for our fans and for this business, and that's not going to change anytime soon."
~ Speedway Motorsports President and CEO Marcus Smith on the state of the sport and the SMI brand.
"I can't actually dance, but nobody believes me. Tequila does help, though."
~ James Hinchcliffe on his runner-up finish in the 2016 season of "Dancing With The Stars"
"I actually had Bud Selig's seats. At one point, Joe Torre tapped me on the shoulder and was like 'Who are you? Why are you sitting in front of me at the World Series?"
~ Kurt Busch on getting to watch the 2011 World Series between the Texas Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals from premium front-row seats at Arlington Stadium.
"As a kid who grew up in this area, I can't even begin to tell you what a dream come true it is to just be sitting here today. I love Texas Motor Speedway and it's an honor to be a part of this. I never could have dreamed of something like this as a kid."
~ Christopher Bell on his thoughts of being part of Media Day at Texas Motor Speedway
"Well, Austin took us out of four races last year. I just thought it would be cheaper to put him on the payroll than race against him this season."

The Mexican-American Women's National Association (MANA) turned Venus Molina's life around.
Which is why, nearly 30 years later, Molina remains active as a volunteer with the organization. Her service and commitment have been so distinguished over the years that she's been named one of five nominees to receive San Diego Magazine's coveted Latino Impact Awards. Those awards honor distinguished Latino leaders who are making a difference in their communities.
MANA is a national Latina organization whose intent is to provide a voice for Mexican-American women at the national, state and local levels.
"I got involved with MANA 27 years ago and was part of the first group of mentees (of at-risk women) when I was 12 in 1986," said Molina adding, "People have fun saying I'm the 'poster child' for Mana — and I truly feel that way."
Noting she was a troubled teen, Molina said she was given a tough mentor to work with who showed her the error of her ways and helped her reshape her life.
"My mentor was very strict, she kicked my butt," Molina said. "She told me, 'You have all these leadership abilities but you do everything wrong. Why not put that energy into something good?'"
With the help of her mentor's guidance, Molina went on to become president of her 8th grade class adding "that gave me the motivation to push myself" the rest of her life.
"I feel if it wasn't for Mana, I wouldn't be where I am right now, said Molina who, at age 39, has followed her mentor's example in devoting herself to giving the benefit of her experience to help troubled young women.
The problems of Latinas today may be somewhat different, but the need for leadership and guidance for them remains just as acute.
"MANA started out as more of a sisterhood to help Latina women support each other," said Molina pointing out that, when she joined, "There was a huge concern about Latina girls dropping out of high school and junior high and a huge increase in teenage pregnancy. So we started the Hermanitas Youth Leadership Mentor Program as a way to get kids to graduate."
Molina said she and 11 others were the first "guniea pigs" to start their San Diego chapter and to begin the mentoring of at-risk girls. From those humble beginnings MANA has grown today to 496 members countywide.
"Our purpose and mission is to empower Latinas through education, leadership and advocacy, and we are now mentoring about 70 girls and have 100 percent graduation from high school and (achieving) college entrance," Molina said.
Three other core MANA programs provide educational scholarships for young women, the hosting of a health fair to provide free services to impoverished individuals and families and a leadership program for girls taught in local schools.
Molina serves as MANA's Vice President of Operations and she is Director of Community Affairs and Government Relations at the Jacobs Center for Neighborhood Innovation.
"I help lead in developing strategic planning policies and procedures," she said adding "I'm pretty much the No. 2 person in the operational part of the organization."

Sharp Printer Repairs – Get the Best Services for your Printers
Offices, all over, use equipment to efficiently handle their regular and even special applications and requirements. One such equipment is the printer. From being used for simple day to day printing of invoices and other documents to multi coloured project reports, printers come with different functions and capabilities. Sharp printers also fall into this pattern in terms of the models and functions that their range of printers is used for. It's when the printers need repairs that you have to have the best agency in town handling it. Agencies handling Sharp printer repairs offer their services to the printer users so that their printing needs are fully met without interruptions.
Printers' functions have to be understood by all
As mentioned the modern day offices use high end printers with multi functional capabilities, and it is of course expected that the employees in the organisation utilising these printers are fully conversant with the way these machines function. Usually, the sales or the customer service team from the printer company would hold brief demonstrations for the benefit of those who use the printers at the customer's end. If the Sharp printer repair firm is also the authorised dealer in Sydney and involved during the sale, it makes the process that much more convenient for the customer to handle. This factor is critical, because, more often than not, printers in commercial establishments could break down due to faulty handling. Customers always have the option to call up the agency offering services of Sharp printer repairs Sydney wide and ask them to do a fresh demonstration if new employees have joined, and if they are not familiar with using the Sharp printers.
What all to look for from a Repairs Agency
If you have Sharp printing equipment in your Sydney establishment, and if you called up the Sharp printer repairsagency, you might be wondering how to be sure that you are getting the best services from them. What are the parameters you should employ to make a fair assessment of the quality of service you are getting from them? Promptness in attending to your complaint call will naturally be right up there, because a broken down printer could put your company's functioning under pressure. But immediately after that, you have to be sure that the Sharp printer repairs agency's technician or service engineer is able to resolve the issue on the first visit itself. You could be put to a lot of inconvenience if the service team were to realise that they have not come fully prepared and have to go back to bring a new component or tool to set the equipment right. Almost linked to this aspect would be the ability and skill the technicians from the Sharp printer repairs firm possess, to successfully handle all models of printers from the brand. In order for them to do this, they would have to have the best infrastructure; they should stock all the key parts and consumables. Their servicing staff should be duly trained, preferably directly by the Sharp company engineers. These are the minimum service points you should be assured of. The cost estimation and keeping to the quoted prices will be another important factor the customers do look for.

BarFly's Review of Blue Diamond
Cute li'l dive with square bar and friendly crowd hosts live bands (mostly of the blues variety) on Wednesday and Saturday nights, low to no cover. Great place to grab a quick drink when neighboring Club 21 (across the street) is packed to the gills (thereby making it 'the new Club 21' to anyone old enough to remember the halcyon days of EJ's, fondly remembered rock club of great repute, located where the pawn shop is, today. Sigh.).

The blue diamond consistently has a friendly crowd of all ages, friendly bartenders, extremely awesome music and excellent drinks. I love to get my dance on there!
I've stopped by several times during (the new-ish) happy hour. waitstaff and patrons are very friendly. The food was great and not expensive. Looks like they have quite a bit of live music in the evenings although I haven't been there in the evenings yet. Overall it's a great place to duck in for a drink and a bite alongside some genuinely nice folks.
The Blue Diamond is, without question, true Cheers-like neighborhood bars in Portland. Absolutely everyone is made to feel welcome ... and they do remember your name. It is not unusual to see a 21 year-old having a discussion with one of the 81 year-old regulars.
The new owners have some exciting plans for additions to the menu & evening events ... but, have no fear, the are not planning on messing too much with the formula that has been working for 12+ years.
Wednesday nights showcases LIVE, NO COVER, R&B music ... with an open mike for the second/third sets. It is not at all unusual to see people, that you'd be paying big bucks to see on Friday/Saturday, sit in on a couple of tunes.
As I've been telling my friends. The Blue Diamond has Good Food, Good Drinks, Good Prices & Good Companionship.
I AM NOT an owner/manager/employee. I AM a regular customer.

The FLIR CM174 Imaging 600A AC/DC...
We offer a broad line of electrical safety test instruments. These include dielectric withstand testers, multi-function electrical safety compliance analyzers, hipot testers, insulation resistance testers, ground bond testers, line leakage testers and medical test systems.
We also offer electrical safety test systems and stand-alone software for our fully automated lines of testers. Additionally, we have available a complete line of electrical safety testing accessories.
Electrical safety tests are loosely broken down into 2 separate groups, design or type tests, and routine production line tests. Design tests are usually performed to detect product flaws during the design stage of an electrical product. The information retrieved from a design test is useful for finding potential problems with product design and development. Production line tests are usually required to be performed on 100% of the products leaving a facility for sale to consumers.
A production line test helps to ensure a particular product is safe for consumer use.
Dielectric Voltage-Withstand Test - This test, commonly referred to as a Hipot test, is used to stress the insulation of a product far beyond what it would it encounter during normal operation. High voltage is applied from the mains-input lines to the chassis of the product in order to look for insulation breakdown. The hipot test is a 100% production line test and can be performed using either an AC or a DC voltage.
Ground Continuity Test - This test is usually used to determine if the ground wire of a product is intact. A low volt-age is applied from the chassis of the product to the ground pin in order to determine if the appropriate amount of current flows.
Ground Bond Test - This test is used to verify that the ground conductor of a product has a low enough impedance to han-dle any fault current to ground. High current flows from the ground pin of the product's line cord and through the chassis in order to determine if the cabling is capable of handling excessive current flow should a fault occur.
Insulation Resistance Test - This test is used to verify the resistance of a product's insulation by applying a DC volt-age and measuring the resulting leakage current.
