Interconnection requirements for distributed electricity generation based on low temperature heat : Mapping of requirements and their possible effects on the HP150
Abstract: The electricity generation is changing. In the grid there is more and more distributed generation installed and the expansion is expected to continue further. The main difference in production of distributed generation units in comparison to a classic power plant is the mass production. In order for distributed generation to be allowed to connect to the public grids, it must fulfil the electrical requirements, the grid code. This thesis is done together with Climeon AB and focuses on what requirements that may apply to an inverter-based drivetrain powered by low temperature heat. By looking at requirements from seven different regions, it can be concluded that the most occurring types of requirements are concerning fault ride-thru, handling of grid frequency fluctuations, reactive power management, power regulation, island mode, DSO or TSO communication, ramp up, automatic reconnection and certification. However, no continuity could be found within the requirements which indicates that in order to comply with the regulations, every local installation must be adapted to the local regulations. The different types of regulations affect an inverter-based drivetrain in multiple ways and it is impossible to say that one requirement will affect the drive train in one specific way. The hardest requirements for a generator unit powered by a low temperature steam cycle are the ones involving islanding and fault ride-thru which requires the drivetrain to instantaneous limit its electricity production. Most of the requirements can be address in the design process by adding electrical inertia and choosing an AFE with a wide operating range.

Mamdouh Habib is not everybody's cup of tea.
If you work in intelligence he's the sort of person who can drive you potty, popping up in the wrong place at the wrong time and arousing suspicions. But he is an Australian citizen and deserves the full protection that entails. And, as ever, no one's guilt should be presumed. If it is, and mistakes are made, then they need to be accounted for. If they're not, and the system rolls on uncleansed, its next victim might be you .
It is in this context that we should be concerned about the disturbing claims that Habib has long made, let alone about the evidence recently given in the defamation case he is currently fighting against News Limited columnist Piers Akerman.
His assertion is that ASIO agents tried twice to recruit him to help find a former Australian soldier who had allegedly joined al-Qaeda in the months before the September 11 attacks in 2001. An infantryman who had served in East Timor, the soldier had been discharged on psychological grounds. Habib claims the first approach was made by an agent (whether or not actually from ASIO is yet to be revealed) when Habib stopped over in the United Arab Emirates on his way to Pakistan and Afghanistan.
It must be said that there was nothing wrong with Australian intelligence attempting to recruit Habib for this purpose. Far from it, in fact that's their job. The immediate reaction of most Australians would be to help where they could.
For whatever reason Habib refused, possibly because of pressure put on him to cooperate. Later, in Pakistan, Habib claims he was waylaid by ASIO again, with the support of local officials. He again refused to cooperate. It seems that he managed to photograph the Australian officer involved and after his release wanted to take that evidence to the Al Jazeera TV network's representative in Kabul. He travelled to the Afghan capital with a Saudi contact in Pakistan and duly met with Al Jazeera. His Saudi friend then put him up in a guesthouse in Kabul where he made the acquaintance of David Hicks and Jack Thomas. Before long, he claims he had to leave because he was suspected of being a spy. He left Afghanistan and was arrested on a bus while travelling from Quetta to Lahore in Pakistan.
It was from there that he was 'rendered' to Egypt, where there is little doubt that he was tortured over an extended period at an interrogation centre in Cairo. It is now clear that the Australian authorities knew where he was and what was happening to him.
Habib claims that his removal to Egypt was at the behest of ASIO. This is a serious charge and one that goes to the essence of citizenship in our democratic State, especially to the central precept that no one is above the law, and certainly not below it. However Habib's actions may or may not have contributed to his predicament, he should never have been rendered to Egypt.
We need to know exactly what happened and why and who should take responsibility. It's not simply a matter of blame. We must stop it happening again.
Twenty-two years ago, as Station Commander for the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS) in Cairo – a deep cover intelligence operation within the Australian Embassy – my cover and that of my assistant were wilfully blown by senior Department of Foreign Affairs officials. To this day they have conveniently escaped both investigation and prosecution. For a while my colleague and I feared we might land in the same interrogation centre that Habib ended up in. Allied intelligence operatives also under cover in Egypt had warned us that if caught, we would be suspected of working for the CIA, if not also for Mossad, and could be tortured without hesitation.
Ironically, it is not difficult for us to identify with Habib's plight. Even now, I recall the caution of a senior allied operative in Cairo that the master torturers at the centre were all Iraqis, the most exquisite practitioners of those ancient Middle Eastern arts. It doesn't help you sleep at night.
Was Mamdouh Habib rendered to Egypt out of spite because he refused to cooperate? The question itself is horrendous, but it has to be answered. If we have any care for the health and viability of our democracy we should demand no less.
Recent bungles by some of our key agencies have sullied the reputation of Australia's intelligence community. The performance of management has done little to allay the fear of many Australians that tight controls and systems of accountability are not in place. What people see in public are agency chiefs unable to take it on the chin and admit mistakes. As a result, public trust is diminished.
But that's only half of the story. The other is the betrayal of the trust that the overwhelming majority of men and women who staff the agencies and who suffer in silence, need to have in their management. It's becoming increasingly difficult for them to function effectively without it.
The new Government in Canberra has a lot of goodwill behind it. More eyes than you would suspect are on it to do the right thing and move certain cronies along without undue delay.

Beyond the Hype is an interview series exploring how artists, creators, and their teams are using NFTs to cut through the digital noise to co-create value with their community.
Today, we're chatting with Erick Sanchez, Founder of Normandie Records, an independent record company, creative house, and online record shop striving to support artists navigating today's complex music industry. Read on to hear more about Erick's journey and how he is using NFTs to power the mission!
Tell us a bit about the work you do at the Label – and how does Web3 fit into it all?
I run operations at the label and work closely with every artist on their campaigns and needs. I also run the e-commerce side of things. On the artist side, I see Web3 providing a deeper level of value for the artists whenever they're trying to bring something to market. In a digital environment sometimes it's hard to keep track of the lifespan of art but with Web3, the blockchain provides a lasting connection between super supporters and the artist, as well as their art. For e-commerce, I'm trying to change the way people buy records online.
What role do NFTs play in developing both the label and the artists on your roster?
I always try to find the best fit for the technology in everything we do. Sometimes the timing isn't quite right and other times, the artist is really excited about NFTs. It ultimately depends on a few factors but education is always a priority. Right now our focus is on having conversations about security and helping artists set up their wallets.
How are NFTs different from everything else that you sell in your online shop?
They're very different because they're long-term plays. I try to think about what things will look like in 1 or 2 years, and NFTs have evolutionary capability. Unlike other projects we bring to market, with NFTs I think about what kind of value we can continue to provide to holders over the long term. Currently, our NFTs are all about access. No other item in our store provides that, so it pushes me to be creative and be thoughtful about innovation.
Your NFTs tend to have a feel-good, fan-element. Is that by design? Tell us more about your long term vision for NFTs as a label.
As much as I am a fan of music, I have always been fascinated by the magnetism certain labels possess. I believe that comes from the community around the label and its artists. A lot of music is consumed online these days, and that can get old quick. The foundation of all Normandie Records NFTs is for the holders to feel closer to the brand and the artists. I want them to understand that they hold something that we consider to be special and that we appreciate them. I want them to know that they're always one token gated page away from something cool and personal.
How do you go about educating your audience or artists on your roster about the Web3 space? Do you have any playbooks or resources for success?
I actively try to make different forms of content to appeal to different demographics. I use newsletters, videos, and even one on one sessions. I try to be very detailed and clear about the practicality of the token. I also make my intentions clear. I think the biggest obstacle in NFTs right now is cutting through the noise. I find that being transparent about why you're selling the NFT helps lower that wall of reluctance.
More on that: How do you define success in the Web3 space?
This is one man's humble opinion, but success in Web3 is defined by how much the technology can help elevate your current model. The innovation involved in figuring out the best token for your audience is the true treasure. I think the success you're seeking lies in that area somewhere; through a thorough understanding of your audience and a collaborative effort to craft a token, experience, or exchange that resonates and benefits everyone.
How have you used NFTs or Tokengating to foster genuine engagement with your artists' communities?
This year, with the help of Single, we launched an NFT that was tied to a vinyl record release for The Tulips' album Message For The Living. The vinyl jacket packaging has special indicators tied to the NFT and each holder owns something unique. This is something I envisioned since early 2021 because it became clear to me that the tendencies of a vinyl record collector are not much different from those of an NFT collector. I hope to continue doing this with more releases.
What was the hardest thing about getting started in the web3 space? How did you get past it?
For me, the hardest part was explaining the technology to the general public. In January 2021, I couldn't find anyone but a few insomniacs on Clubhouse to talk about NFTs with. I had so much adrenaline at the time, I wanted to hit the ground running but had to be patient. Things have changed now but a lot of what Web3 truly is remains unclear to most people. Until we have real conversations about the value of NFTs beyond financial gain and better demonstrations of what's possible, we won't break through. So it's still a work in progress.
How do you promote your NFTs? Are they isolated from everything else you do?
Currently, I use all the social media platforms, NormandieRecords.com, and our Normandie Records newsletter. I try to utilize all the tools available that can shine a light on web3.
Where can readers follow you to tap in?
www.normandierecords.com is a good place to start. You can find the label on all social platforms as Normandie Records or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Feeling inspired yet?
If you're interested in stepping into Web3 for the first time, or releasing an NFT, book a demo below -- we'd love to discuss how Single could help bring your ideas to life!

To finish January with a flourish, Interact released the 8.0.2 edition of Suite SA. The new version of the software comes to make user involvement a more delightful and authentic experience. Started in August 2021, the update provides around 465 implementations, including improvements of existing products.
The highlight of the 8.0.2 edition is on SA Competence Manager, software designed to manage collaborators competencies, which received some interesting changes. Among the novelties, the module can now show improvement points, the results obtained during the employee's journey and the conclusion of the goals defined in the Individual Development Plan.
In this release of Suite SA, the Integrated Assessment Cycle allows you to visualize the employee's competencies and main objectives in one place. You are able to choose an individual, team or departament view, which makes it even easier to analyze the flow of the company.
The best thing is that now, with the new Partial Measurement Analysis tool, managers can track the progress of each task and the partial results of employees or positions. In addition, enhancements to Ninebox analyzes were launched to cross-reference skills and qualifications results.
Discover the other features of the 8.0.2 release
Adapt your audit assessments
Applying audits just got easier in SA Audit Manager. It is now possible to create and configure scales, as needed for each assessment.
The new feature allows the user to select two modes, namely:
- Classification: refers to the current functioning of the audit, in which an item is evaluated and has its maximum score decreased as the findings are added.
- Scale: it will be possible to define a scale according to the user's need. Therefore, the item will be scored based solely on the appraisal value it receives.
Digital signature:
SA Document Manager received two new digital signature options. Through the e-CPF and e-CNPJ, it is possible to dispense with the manual collection of signatures and avoid the accumulation of fiscal copies. In addition, the novelties will provide greater security for document management.
Project Management
With the "Manager" application, in the SA Project Manager, is now possible to allocate several tasks to the same resource simultaneously, which optimizes the project configuration. In addition, you can have a graphical view of the tasks, with information about the duration of the task and the period in which the resource will be allocated.
Risk Analysis
Audits play a fundamental role in verifying compliance with proposals and requirements. To add value to this analysis process, an assessment tool was incorporated into the SA Risk Manager module, which compares results between different assessments.
Having access to estimates and results times, it is possible to monitor the performance of the company's areas in the exercise of risk control and prevention.
And to assist in this monitoring, the possibilities for classifying risks in the "alert" function were also remodeled, in order to offer new options for treatment, which aim to meet specific standards and methodologies in risk management.
Finally, it is now possible to modify the labels or names after handling risks.
Indicator management
In SA Governance Manager, when changing the indicator type to the "standard", "KPI", or "Monitoring" model, the system will ask if the change should be applied only to current and future period data or to all existing records.
The new version allows even greater autonomy to the user to configure the data visualization, according to their needs. In the "Combination Diagram", for example, it is possible to choose between two types of "Mode Setting" when it is set to "Comparison". One that will be applied to the "Central Diagram" and another that will be applied to the History and Consolidated bars.
Practicality to processes
We added BPMN standards to the main menu and redirected the zoom definition to the vertical menu, which will also have the option of "Location of elements" and "Shortcuts".
We have improved the signaling of connection permissions, added new possibilities to the activity log and introduced the use of the right mouse button as a practical shortcut to define the alignment of elements.

Magnetic "Good Morning America" anchors Amy Robach and TJ Holmes have been together on-air for two years now. But now it appears that the pair are together off-air as well- even while married to others.
The "Daily Mail" has published a series of pics (and a vid) that follows Robach and Holmes to multiple rendezvous all around New York City and, two weeks before Thanksgiving, a seemingly romantic cabin getaway in Upstate New York.
The photos contain images of the new couple giggling and laughing in close proximity, Holmes giving Robach a little tush tap and the co-anchors even going to careful lengths to cover their tracks. There's also a snap of them holding hands in an Uber.
- But further information about the "GMA 3" hosts continues to pour in from everywhere. Page Six reports the relationship began in March as they trained for the New York City half marathon together. And though neither left their spouses- both of 12 years- until August, Robach and Holmes were spotted together in public as early as May.
- And US Magazine noted an interesting development, Holmes posted a photo on Instagram earlier this week that read: "End the relationship and cry once. It's better than being with them and crying daily." Holmes has since deleted the post, as well as his Instagram and Twitter accounts.
However, People reports "that there was no overlap" between Robach and Holmes's romantic connection and their marriages.
Regularly scheduled programming has never been so awkward. "Good Morning America" third hour ("GMA3") hosts Amy Robach and TJ Holmes returned to their anchor chairs after news broke of their off-camera relationship.
Either way, Robach's actor husband Andrew Shue has now scrubbed his Insta of everything his wife was in. That includes a promo of "Better Together!," the book the pair wrote together in 2021.

Ozarks life:
The King and his Axe-Man from Springfield
Johnny Wilkinson played with Elvis for the final nine years of the King's life.
By Chad Plein
Published: Jul. 15, 2022 at 4:37 PM CEST
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) - Once upon a time, there was a King. And in his court, an axe-man, from Springfield.
"He was very quiet," Gary Ellison said about his longtime friend, Johnny Wilkinson. "John, never around me anyway, blew his horn about who he was and what he did."
Wilkinson moved to Springfield at a young age when his dad started the psychology department for then Southwest Missouri State College. After graduating from Greenwood, Johnny pursued music and not academics like his father.
"He worked in the folk era," Ellison said, "with the New Christy Minstrels and he would sub with the Kingston Trio. And he ended up in Los Angeles."
It was there in 1968 that Elvis Presley saw Johnny's talent and tracked him down.
"So the phone rings and Johnny picked it up," Ellison said. "And the guy said, 'Johnny, this Elvis,' and John said, 'oh, yeah, right' and hung up. And immediately the phone rang back. He said, 'Johnny, this is Elvis, don't hang up.' And he said, 'I saw you on television. I like what I heard. And I'm getting ready to put together the TCB band. And I would like to talk to you about being part of it.'"
For the next nine-and-a-half years, up until Elvis' death, Johnny toured and recorded with the King of Rock and Roll. Johnny played rhythm guitar for the Taking Care of Business Band.
"Elvis always mispronounced Johnny's name," Ellison recalled. "It was Johnny Wilkinson. But l was always called him Johnny Wilkerson."
Elvis even did that at Johnny's homecoming at Hammons Student Center on June 17, 1977. Almost two months to the day before his death, Elvis and his band rocked SMS.
"Well, it was like the Second Coming," Ellison joked. "Elvis was the entertainer."
Gary still has his ticket stub and a photo he snapped from that night. But what only a handful of people knew at the time was this was the second time Elvis and Johnny shared a moment together in Springfield.
Twenty-one years before the Hammons concert, 21-year-old Elvis Presley performed at the Shrine Mosque. And on May 17, 1956, 10-year-old Johnny Wilkinson wanted to talk to this up-and-coming rocker.
"John got on his bicycle and went down to the Shrine Mosque," Ellison said. "Johnny and his dad had performed there, so he knew where the stage door was and where the dressing rooms were. And he found Elvis Presley sitting there by himself."
Years ago, Johnny appeared on Ozarks Public Television's Ozarks Watch Magazine program and told Dale Moore why he wanted to meet Elvis that day.
"Elvis, the real reason why I'm here," Wilkinson said on the program, "I was looking for you; was to tell you, that you can't play guitar worth a damn... I know this is a family show, but those are my words."
"And so Elvis said, 'well pick that guitar up and show me,'" Ellison continued telling the story. " And so John pulled out his finger picks and started playing. And about that time, the backstage goons came in and said, 'hey, who's this' and Elvis said, 'wait a minute. This is my friend, Johnny Wilkinson. He's given me a guitar lesson.' And so they finished."
"And when the thing was over," Ellison concluded, "Elvis said, 'you know, I just have a feeling we're going to meet again someday.' And Johnny said, 'I hope so.'"
Johnny Wilkinson suffered a stroke in the late 80s, and could no longer play the guitar or banjo. He died from cancer in 2013. Before his death, he asked Gary Ellison to play at his funeral.
Their meeting in 1956 was set to be memorialized in Springfield. A statue of 10-year-old Johnny with Elvis was proposed for the front of the Shrine Mosque but they could never get the money together to make it a reality. A small mock-up of the sculpture sits on the fifth floor of the History Museum on the Square in a cabinet dedicated to Wilkinson.

Using the Wrong Type of Car Wash
When it comes to automatic car washes, not all options are created equal. Both touchless and friction-based car washes have their own set of benefits and drawbacks, and choosing the wrong type can potentially lead to damage on your vehicle.
To ensure the best outcome for your car, it is advisable to seek the expertise of car wash technicians. These experienced professionals possess in-depth knowledge of various automatic car wash systems and can guide you in selecting the most suitable option for your vehicle's specific needs.
By consulting expert car wash technicians, you can make an informed decision and avoid any potential risks associated with using the wrong type of automatic car wash. Their guidance will help you maintain the appearance and condition of your vehicle while ensuring it receives the appropriate care and attention it deserves.
Touchless Car Washes
Touchless car washes use high-pressure water and chemicals to clean the vehicle without physically touching it. While these car washes are gentle on the vehicle's paint and finish, they may not completely remove heavy dirt and debris.
Friction-Based Car Washes
Friction-based car washes use brushes or cloth to scrub the vehicle physically. This car wash provides more thorough cleaning, but there is a risk of damage to the vehicle's paint and finish if the brushes or clothes are too abrasive or dirty.
Before choosing an automatic car wash, it's important to consider the type appropriate for your vehicle. A touchless car wash may be the best choice if your vehicle has a delicate paint job or finish. However, a friction-based car wash may be necessary if your vehicle has heavy dirt or mud build-up.
Not Removing Loose Items
Before an automatic car wash, removing any loose items from the car is important. Loose items include trash, debris, and personal belongings. Any item not securely attached to the vehicle can cause damage to the car wash equipment and potentially damage your vehicle.
Loose items can fly around during the wash process and cause scratches or dents to your car. They can also become lodged in the car wash equipment and cause damage to the machinery. Check your car for any loose items before entering the automatic car wash to avoid mishaps.
Neglecting to Pre-Wash the Vehicle
It's crucial to pre-wash it to ensure the best possible results and prevent any potential damage. Pre-washing helps to remove heavy dirt, mud, and debris, which can cause damage to your vehicle's paint and finish during the wash.
Here are some tips for pre-washing your vehicle:
- A high-pressure hose removes heavy dirt and mud from the vehicle's surface.
- Apply a pre-wash solution to loosen any remaining dirt or grime.
- Use a soft-bristled brush or sponge to gently scrub the vehicle's surface, paying special attention to the areas with heavy dirt or grime.
- Rinse the vehicle thoroughly to remove any remaining dirt and pre-wash solution.
By following these steps, you can ensure that your vehicle is properly pre-washed before entering the automatic car wash, which will help to prevent any potential damage and ensure a more thorough cleaning.
Failing to Follow Instructions
One of the most common mistakes people make at automatic car washes is failing to follow the provided instructions. Many car washes have specific instructions on preparing your vehicle for the wash, including turning off windshield wipers, folding in side mirrors, and ensuring all windows are closed to prevent damage. Not following these instructions can result in damage to your vehicle and potentially the car wash equipment as well.
Why is it important to follow instructions?
Car washes have specific instructions for a reason, and failing to follow them can cause harm to your vehicle. For example, leaving your windshield wipers on during the wash can cause them to become damaged or even break off. Similarly, not folding in your side mirrors can result in them being hit and potentially broken as well.
Additionally, some car washes have sensors that detect whether or not windows are closed. If they are not closed, the system may automatically shut down and stop the wash, causing inconvenience for other customers or adding more time to your wait.
How can I avoid this mistake?
The best way to avoid this mistake is to carefully read and follow the instructions provided at the automatic car wash. Take a few extra moments to ensure that windshield wipers are off, side mirrors are properly positioned, and all windows are closed before entering the wash. Doing so can prevent damage to your vehicle and the car wash equipment.
Leaving Excess Soap or Chemicals
One common mistake people make at automatic car washes is leaving excess soap or chemicals on their vehicle after the wash. While the car wash is designed to remove dirt and grime, excess soap or chemicals can cause harm to your vehicle's paint and finish.
To avoid this issue, it's important to choose a car wash that uses high-quality cleaning solutions and to ensure that the rinse cycle is thorough. If you notice any excess soap or chemicals remaining on your vehicle after the wash, rinse it off with a hose or bucket of water.
Additionally, avoid parking your vehicle in direct sunlight after the wash, as this can cause the soap or chemicals to dry on your vehicle and potentially damage the paint.
Neglecting to Dry the Vehicle Properly
After going through an automatic car wash, it's crucial to dry the vehicle properly. Neglecting to do so can lead to water spots and potential damage to the paint and finish of the car. Here are some tips for effective drying:
- Use a clean, soft cloth or microfiber towel to wipe down the vehicle's surface gently.
- Start at the top and work your way down, ensuring that all water has been removed.
- Pay special attention to areas that hold water, such as door handles and mirrors.
- Use an air blower or a squeegee to remove excess water if possible.
Properly drying your vehicle after an automatic car wash can avoid potential damage and keep your car looking its best.
Skipping Regular Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial to keep your vehicle running smoothly. This is especially true after going through an automatic car wash. Neglecting regular maintenance can lead to issues down the line, such as damaged parts and costly repairs.
After going through an automatic car wash, it's important to check for any potential damage to the vehicle. This includes checking for scratches, dents, and other damage that may have occurred during the wash. If you notice any damage, it's best to fix it immediately to prevent further issues.
Regular Maintenance Checklist: |
Check windshield wipers for damage and proper function |
Inspect headlights and taillights for bulbs that need to be replaced |
Check tire pressure and tread depth |
Inspect brakes for any wear and tear |
Check fluid levels, including oil and coolant |
Following this checklist ensures that your vehicle is in top condition after going through an automatic car wash. This will help prevent any potential problems down the line and keep your vehicle running smoothly.
When to Schedule Maintenance
You should schedule regular maintenance for your vehicle every 6 months or every 5,000 miles, whichever comes first. This will help keep your vehicle in top condition and prevent any issues from arising. You can enjoy a safe and reliable driving experience by staying on top of regular maintenance.
Overusing Automatic Car Washes
Automatic car washes are convenient for busy individuals who want a quick and easy way to clean their vehicles. However, knowing the potential risks associated with overusing automatic car washes is important.
Frequent visits to automatic car washes can lead to scratches, paint damage, and other issues that can be costly to repair. The brushes and cleaning agents used in automatic car washes can be abrasive and cause damage to the vehicle's finish, especially if used too often.
While automatic car washes are convenient, it is important to consider alternative washing methods to reduce the need for constant car wash visits. Hand washing your vehicle with a bar of gentle soap and soft cloth can be an effective alternative.
It is also important to note that overusing automatic car washes can contribute to environmental issues. The runoff from car wash facilities can contain harmful chemicals that pollute waterways and harm aquatic life.
Overall, it is best to use automatic car washes in moderation and to be aware of the potential risks associated with overuse. Consider alternative washing methods and be mindful of the potential environmental impact.
Improperly Using Self-Service Options
Self-service car washes are a great option for those who prefer to wash their vehicles. However, using these options correctly is important to prevent damage to your car and to the car wash equipment. Here are some essential tips to keep in mind:
- Read the instructions carefully before beginning.
- Use the correct settings for your vehicle, such as the appropriate water pressure and temperature.
- Avoid using abrasive brushes or sponges that can scratch your car's paint.
- Begin by rinsing your car thoroughly to remove any loose dirt or debris.
- Apply soap or detergent evenly to avoid leaving any spots or streaks.
- Rinse your car thoroughly once again to remove any cleaning solution residue.
- Dry your car with a clean, soft towel or chamois.
Self-service car washes can be a cost-effective and efficient way to clean your vehicle. By following these tips, you'll ensure that your car remains in great condition while also avoiding any potential mishaps in the car wash.
Being aware of the common mistakes to avoid at an automatic car wash is crucial for maintaining the integrity and appearance of your vehicle. By understanding these pitfalls and taking necessary precautions, you can ensure a safe and effective car wash experience.
One of the most important aspects is selecting the right type of automatic car wash that suits your vehicle's needs. Whether it's a touchless or friction-based system, knowing the differences and choosing accordingly can prevent potential damage.

Nature and Purpose: Since routine checks cannot be depended upon to disclose all the mistakes or manipulation that may exist in accounts, certain other procedures also have to be applied. These collectively are known as overall tests. As stated earlier, with the passage of tests, analytical procedures
have acquired lot of significance as substantive audit procedure. AAS-14 on Analytical Procedures discusses the application of analytical procedures during an audit. "Analytical procedures" means the analysis of significant ratios and trends, including the resulting investigation of fluctuations and
relationships that are inconsistent with other relevant information or which deviate from predicted amounts. Analytical procedures include the consideration of comparisons of the entity's financial information with, for example:
- Comparable information for prior periods.
- Anticipated results of the entity, such as budgets or forecasts.
- Predictive estimates prepared by the auditor, such as an estimation of depreciation charge for the year.
- Similar industry information, such as a comparison of the entity's ratio of sales to trade debtors with industry averages, or with other entities of comparable size in the same industry.
Analytical procedures also include consideration of relationships:
- Among elements of financial information that would be expected to conform to a predictable pattern based on the entity's experience, such as gross margin percentages.
- Between financial information and relevant non-financial information, such as payroll costs to number of employees.
Various methods may be used in performing the above procedures. These range from simple comparisons to complex analyses using advanced statistical techniques. Analytical procedures may be applied to consolidated financial statements, financial statements of components (such as subsidiaries,
divisions or segments) and individual elements of financial information. The auditor's choice of procedures, methods and level of application is a matter of professional judgement.
Analytical procedures are used for the following purposes:
- to assist the auditor in planning the nature, timing and extent of other audit procedures;
- as substantive procedures when their use can be more effective or efficient than tests of details in reducing detection risk for specific financial statement assertions; and
- as an overall review of the financial statements in the final review stage of the audit.
For instance, establishing the relationship that exists between certain balances included in the Balance Sheet and the Profit and Loss Account and comparing them with those that existed between the same set of balances in the previous years reconciling the physical balances of assets with the relevant
financial record; obtaining of account from the bankers, customers and creditors and reconciling with relevant balances in books of account; confirming amounts of outstanding income and expenses by preparing reconciliation statements, etc. These are helpful in the detection of unusual state of affairs
and mistakes in accounts. For example if on comparison of the gross profit ratio with that of the previous year, it is discovered that there has been fall in the ratio, it would be necessary for the auditor to make further enquiries. These may reveal that this was the result of pilferage of stocks, misappropriation of a
part of the sale proceeds or a change in the cost of sales without a corresponding increase in the sales price.
Likewise, on verifying the balances of sundry debtors and creditors by obtaining the confirmation of their statements of account, it will be possible for the auditor to find out whether the discrepancy in the balance of a debtor is due to the failure to debit his account with the cost of goods supplied to him or is
the result of non-adjustment of a remittance received from him. Also whether in the case of a creditor, the discrepancy is due to failure to afford him credit for one or more consignments of goods supplied by him or failure to debit him with an amount of remittance. Similarly, by taking stocks of raw materials and stores at the end of the year any excesses or shortages therein shall be detected. The investigation of their causes might disclose that the shortages were the result of a misappropriation of stock or that the excess were due to requisitions having been entered before the stocks were issued.
Similarly, by reconciling the amounts of interest and dividends collected with the amounts which had accrued due and that which are outstanding for payment, the mistake, if any, in the adjustment of such an income would be detected. The overall tests can be extended for making a inter-firm and intra-firm comparison of trading results. For example, if balances included in the trading account of an entity are compared with those contained in the trading account for the same period of another entity engaged in the same trade and working under similar circumstances, it would be possible to find out the cause of the variation in the rate of profitability that exists. Similarly, it would also be possible to compare the balances on the trading account with that of the previous period, it would be possible to find out the reasons for increase or decrease in the amount of profits of those years. By setting up certain expenses ratios on the basis of balances included in the trading account, for the year under audit, comparing them with the same ratios for the previous year, it is possible to ascertain the extent of increase or decrease in various items of expenditure in relation to sales and that of gross profit in relation to sales. If differences are found to be material, the auditor would ascertain the reasons thereof and assess whether the accounts have been
manipulated to inflate or suppress profits.
An abnormal fall in the cost of manufacture or that in the administrative cost, apart from economy in expenses, there could be no provision or less provision for expenses incurred in the year. When it is suspected, the auditor should compare the entries in the outstanding book with those in the previous
year. He must also check the vouchers for one month immediately before the close of the following years. To verify that none of the expenses in the accounts under audit have been charged to the accounts of the following years. Often it is possible to independently verify the correctness of some of the items of expenses included in the trading account. For instance the cost of importing goods which are subjected to an ad valorem duty at uniform rate can be verified from the amount of duty paid. Similarly, a quantity of sugar a mill sold can be verified independently from the amount of excise duty paid. Similarly, the amount of any income or expenses which has a direct relationship with the amount of profits or that of sales can be verified independently, e.g., commission paid to a manager calculated on the basis of net profits, commission paid to a selling agent as percentage of sales, etc. Such calculation of ratios, trends and comparisons is also termed as analytical review.
Analytical Procedures in Planning the Audit: The auditor should apply analytical procedures at the planning stage to assist in understanding the business and in identifying areas of potential risk. Application of analytical procedures may indicate aspects of the business of which the auditor was
unaware and will assist in determining the nature, timing and extent of other audit procedures. Analytical procedures in planning the audit use both financial and non-financial information, for example, the relationship between sales and square footage of selling space or volume of goods sold.
Analytical Procedures in the Overall Review at the End of the Audit: The auditor should apply analytical procedures at or near the end of the audit when forming an overall conclusion as to whether the financial statements as a whole are consistent with the auditor's knowledge of the business. The
conclusions drawn from the results of such procedures are intended to corroborate conclusions formed during the audit of individual components or elements of the financial statements and assist in arriving at the overall conclusion as to the reasonableness of the financial statements. However, in some cases, as a result of application of analytical procedures, the auditor may identify areas where further procedures need to be applied before the auditor can form an overall conclusion about the financial statements.
Extent of Reliance on Analytical Procedures: The application of analytical procedures is based on the expectation that relationships among data exist and continue in the absence of known conditions to the contrary. The presence of these relationships provides audit evidence as to the completeness, accuracy and validity of the data produced by the accounting system. However, reliance on the results of analytical procedures will depend on the auditor's assessment of the risk that the analytical procedures may identify relationships as expected when, in fact, a material misstatement exists.
The extent of reliance that the auditor places on the results of analytical procedures depends on the following factors:
- materiality of the items involved, for example, when inventory balances are material, the auditor does not rely only on analytical procedures in forming conclusions. However, the auditor may rely solely on analytical procedures for certain income and expense items when they are not individually material;
- other audit procedures directed toward the same audit objectives, for example, other procedures performed by the auditor in reviewing the collectibility of accounts receivable, such as the review of subsequent cash receipts, might confirm or dispel questions raised from the application of analytical procedures to an ageing schedule of customers' accounts;
- accuracy with which the expected results of analytical procedures can be predicted. For example, the auditor will ordinarily expect greater consistency in comparing gross profit margins from one period to another than in comparing discretionary expenses, such as research or advertising; and
- assessments of inherent and control risks, for example, if internal control over sales order processing is weak and, therefore, control risk is high, more reliance on tests of details of transactions and balances than on analytical procedures in drawing conclusions on receivables
may be required.
The auditor will need to consider testing the controls, if any, over the preparation of information used in applying analytical procedures. When such controls are effective, the auditor will have greater confidence in the reliability of the information and, therefore, in the results of analytical procedures. The
controls over non-financial information can often be tested in conjunction with tests of accountingrelated controls. For example, an entity in establishing controls over the processing of sales invoices may include controls over the recording of unit sales. In these circumstances, the auditor could test the
controls over the recording of unit sales in conjunction with tests of the controls over the processing of sales invoices.
Investigating Unusual Items: When analytical procedures identify significant fluctuations or relationships that are inconsistent with other relevant information or that deviate from predicted amounts, the auditor should investigate and obtain adequate explanations and appropriate corroborative evidence. The investigation of unusual fluctuations and relationships ordinarily begins with inquiries of management, followed by:
- corroboration of management's responses, for example, by comparing them with the auditor's knowledge of the business and other evidence obtained during the course of the audit; and
- consideration of the need to apply other audit procedures based on the results of such inquiries, if management is unable to provide an explanation or if the explanation is not considered adequate.

The main reason why chargeback amounts can be higher than the original transaction is because of changes in currency exchange rates. This can happen when the exchange rates fluctuate between the time of the original transaction and when the chargeback is issued. It's important to remember that exchange rates change every day, and this can affect the final amount of the chargeback. This can be confusing for merchants who are not aware of this issue.
Why the chargeback amount greater than the original payment? Print

There are several advantages to having finished walls in a garage. Here are some of the key benefits:
- Enhanced Appearance: Finished walls give your garage a polished and aesthetically pleasing look. It can transform a dull and unfinished space into a more attractive and inviting area.
- Improved Insulation: Adding insulation to finished walls can help regulate the temperature inside the garage. Insulation helps to keep the space warmer in cold weather and cooler in hot weather. This is particularly beneficial if you use your garage for activities that require a controlled environment, such as a workshop or home gym.
- Protection Against Moisture and Mold: Finished walls with proper insulation and vapor barriers can help prevent moisture buildup in the garage. Moisture can lead to mold growth, which not only damages the walls but can also pose health risks. Finishing the walls with moisture-resistant materials and adequate ventilation can mitigate these issues.
- Reduced Noise Transmission: Finishing the walls with insulation and drywall can help reduce noise transmission between the garage and the rest of the house. This can be advantageous if you have living spaces adjacent to or above the garage, as it helps to minimize the impact of noise from garage activities.
- Increased Functionality: Finished walls provide a more functional space in the garage. You can easily install shelves, hooks, or other storage solutions on the walls to organize your tools, equipment, and other items. It also allows for easier cleaning and maintenance of the garage.
- Higher Resale Value: A finished garage with appealing walls can add value to your home. Potential buyers often appreciate a well-finished garage that offers additional usable space and a visually appealing environment.
Overall, finishing the walls in your garage offers various advantages, ranging from improved aesthetics and insulation to better functionality and potential resale value. It ultimately depends on your specific needs, preferences, and how you intend to use the space.

I have a really nice pair of veileds for sale. Both are around 1.5 years old and are ready to breed. The female is currently gravid but has NOT been bred with this male yet. I just don't want to get into veileds right now as I have my hands full with panthers. The male comes from FL Chams and the female is from Chameleons Northwest, not sure what lines. I would like to sell as a pair, but will consider seperating. The pair is $300 shipped or $150+shipping for the male and $100+shipping for the female.

Bally's Corporation has acquired B2B free-to-play games provider SportCaller in an bid to strengthen its international presence.
The acquisitions of SportCaller will see the Las Vegas-based company look to utilise the F2P game provider's portfolio of over 100 games, available in 20 languages and covering 20 sports across 37 countries, to expand its own geographic presence across international borders.
The US land-based gambling operator hopes its purchase of SportCaller will assist with international expansion plans, having enhanced its position in the US market following its takeovers of Bet.Works and Monkey Knife Fight, alongside its partnership with Sinclair Broadcast Group.
Commenting on the acquisition, George Papanier, Bally's president and chief executive officer, noted: "I am delighted to welcome SportCaller to Bally's Interactive alongside Bet.Works and Monkey Knife Fight.
"F2P products represent a core component of our interactive strategy to drive user acquisition to Bally's ecosystem.
"SportCaller offers unique products and I am confident that its pioneering platform and deep international expertise will significantly contribute to our growing interactive platforms."
SportCaller is also expected to enable the US operator to launch its own range of F2P games this year, in cooperation with Bet.Works' proprietary technology stack.
Additionally, it is hoped that the acquisition will allow Bally's to leverage Sinclair's mobile reach to expand its player database in states where sports betting remains prohibited, as well as generating marketing opportunities for the operator's mobile app.
In states where sports betting has been legalised, SportCaller will allow Bally's to utilise F2P games as an additional player engagement and retention tool.
Furthermore, SportCaller's deep technology and product driven operations, as well as its technology development centre, will be integrated into Bally's Interactive decision, joining BetWorks and Monkey Knife Fight, supported with more than 40 dedicated resources.
The firm will also augment BetWorks' development resources and support accelerated innovation and development of new products.
"Joining Bally's is a milestone moment for the SportCaller team," added Cillian Barry, founder and MD at SportCaller. "I look forward to working with Bally's talented team as we continue to create an innovative F2P product that engages sports fans on a global scale."

A Whole New Meaning to Pillow Talk
September 25, 2008 at 7:09 pm
If you were anywhere near the Compass while you hustling to get to DRL before noon, you likely noticed the mob of people pummeling each other with pillows. Needless to say, I was there, camera in hand, watching the chaos (oh, the things one does for journalism).
More clips and some context to the hostilities, after the jump.
But for those of you who missed the Penn Pillowfight Extravaganza, let me steal from Facebook to fill you in. The pillowfight was a flash mob. According to The Academic Bible (read: Wikipedia), "a flash mob is a large group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual action for a brief time, then quickly disperse." And thus, today at 11:55, a group of Penn students assembled to block traffic, throw pillows at each other, and quickly dispersed.
Adding to the fun were the mass array of students who neglected to follow the cardinal rule of any pillowfight--BYOP--but stood on the side to document the chaos. At one point, a pair of students jumped on top of a Penn Dining van (whose poor driver looked terrified) to capture the action.
And while fun might have been had by the pillow warriors, the flash mob was more of a nuisance than anything. I mean, really? Blocking off the compass in the middle of the day? Don't we all know by now that Penn students don't like anything to interfere with their classes except for hangovers? Do you people think this is Brown?
But my description hardly does the event justice. So here's a longer YouTube video to give you a better idea.

Dolores M. Syphax, 94, pillar of the community, passes
Dolores Marceline Syphax, age 94 of Brooklyn, New York, passed away on Monday July 25, 2022. She was born to the late Neil Gibson and Florence Bessie Brown Gibson on April 12, 1928. Dolores was the fifth of six children: Neil, Marcus, Edith, Anita, and Florence.
Dolores was born and raised in East New York, Brooklyn where she graduated from Franklin K. Lane HS. She excelled in Handball, Basketball, Track and Field where she received numerous medals. She proudly displayed her medals when competing with her children and eventually passed them down to them. Dolores was also quick to show that she could still sink a basket from the free throw line well into her 80's, to prove she still had skills.
After graduating she began working for New York City Department of Welfare helping low-income families achieve a better life. During this time Dolores met her forever love, Robert L. Syphax, also from East NY. They were married on Sunday June 2, 1957. Through this marriage two wonderful children were born; Dolores E. and Robert J. whom they cherished dearly. Later she began working as a bank teller and finally found her calling at Bell Telephone Co. which eventually became Verizon. She worked until retirement in 1991 at age 63, when she and her late husband simultaneously retired, followed their dreams, and traveled the country without a care in the world. They both enjoyed bowling, boating, fishing, traveling, gardening, anything, and everything always side-by-side.
Dolores lost her love just one month shy of their 60th anniversary. She remained in the care of her loving son and his girlfriend Millie Soto until her love and the Lord called for her. She was preceded in death by her brothers Neil and Marcus, sisters Edith, Anita, and Florence. She leaves behind her children Dolores and Robert, her favorite son-in-law Randy, grandchildren Chance and Candace, a host of nieces and nephews, and numerous loved ones.
