——————– Tech Support Tips/Troubleshooting/Common Issues ——————–

Power Requirements

The best would be to provide a power supply with about 12V with a minimum current around 0.40A. It pulls a maximum of 0.54A from a 12V variable power supply. If you adjust the voltage or current, the vacuum will provide less suction just like any dc motor. One issue I ran into was that as you provided less power, the motor would not start or stop the motor if you blocked the vacuum pump's nozzle.

DIY SMD Vacuum Pick-and-Place

You could pick up SMD parts using the vacuum pump like this forum post => [ http://dangerousprototypes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=20382&sid=3621667acbdcf919d8ce57e3b83ef129#p20382 ].

Mounting?

Unfortunately, we do not have an exact part in our catalog to mount the vacuum pump. Maybe you can cut a hole in the enclosure that you are using and use some zip ties? Or maybe you can find a mounting clamp that fits around the diameter of the motor. Looking online, there is a 3D model of a clamp that can be printed with a 3D printer [bracket - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:996692 ].

Otherwise, the closest mounts in our storefront are the 37mm diameter motor mounts [ like Motor Mount Clamping - https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12407 and Motor Mount - Swivel Clamp - https://www.sparkfun.com/products/12524 ]. The clamps were designed to be used with the Actobotics gearmotors. Testing out the swivel clamp on the vacuum pump's motor, it was a little loose since the diameter was about 36.65mm. I had to switch the set screw to a smaller length to secure the motor to the clamp. Maybe you can add some material between the vacuum pump and the clamp for a better fit.

Hi I used this pump in various applications it works(or sucks) very well, but now I want to know how can I get the relationship between the attached weight to pump to lift and the corresponding drop in pressure. Please provide such relationship if anyone has found it. Also I request SF guys to tell me same if possible.

I bought one of these, attached it to a 12 v 2.5 A transformer and get only the most modest suction- about enough to loosely hold onto a piece of paper if put over the inlet. Is the pump function as one would expect and if not, does anyone have an idea of why it might not be?

This one will NOT work that way - the pump mechanism works in the same fashion regardless of motor rotation.

I wouldn't as it's not designed to do that. The portion of the pump hooked to the motor does not appear to be sealed sufficiently to keep water out of the motor.

If by small ammounts, you mean just a couple drops during normal operation, then it might be possible. I would expect the droplet to follow the same path of least resistance and exit with the air. BUT as with any time you mix water and electricity, it's better to air on the side of caution. In this case, I'd suggest you put in some sort of canister or drying filter between the pump and the intake where it could pull in moisture.

Just got ours and I can answer both: A1 - Yes, there is a small flow of air out of the outlet. I don't have a vacuum/pressure gauge to give more specifics.

A2 - The motor is NOT polarity marked, and the design of the vacuum pump does not require the motor to run in a specific direction. No ability to reverse the inlet/outlet by simply reversing the wires.

My students and I were able to play with ours a bit yesterday. If the pieces you're looking to pick up and move are small/light and you have a small (say 1/8") tip on the pick-and-place wand it would probably work. The vacuum produced is pretty constant, but low flow of actual air. If you have a very compliant rubber tip that would seal air leakage you might get away with larger components.

I can tell you that it has the vacuum pressure, but not the total air flow necessary to really pick up much when used as a standard floor vacuum. If you had two flat surfaces, it could possibly be use in a pick-and-place machine, but not easily for ad-hoc picking up of small things.

Following up on my earlier question, I ordered one and I am happy to say that it does run on 7.2V quite well. My students and I did some ad-hoc tests and it works well enough we're going to try to build a coffee grounds gripper next. (Spoiler: Thankfully the pump is a pretty simple design and quite easy to take apart and remove coffee grounds from….)

How well does this perform if we're only providing it 7.2V rather than the full 12V?

I have some questions about this pump.

Q1 Does it suck from the inlet and below out the outlet. I seems to indicate this in the spec sheet as there is a Vacuum parameter and a pressure parameter . Can anyone confirm?

Q2 If i reverse the polarity of the vacuum motor will the inlet and outlet reverse also (ie suck and blow in the other direction) can anyone confirm?

thanks in Advance : Joe

I wonder if i could I use this for vacuum filtration separating precipitate. Most minimalist vacuum filtration setups come with a cheap hand vacuum pump used for bleeding automotive brakes. A hand operated vacuum pump would work fine for filtering, but being able to keep a constant vacuum to help dry the precipitate is it's shortfall. Anyone else heard of using one of these 12V vac pumps for this purpose?

Sadly no. Floor vacuums need high volume / low suction. This pump is designed for low volume / high suction. It wouldn't move enough air to budge your dirt. But you might be able to adapt our blower, which moves a lot of air. It inhales through the body (think of a hair dryer) so you'd need to glue some sort of duct to the center of it to achieve suction. Good luck!

You can power this pump (or any motor) with an arduino and a transistor or relay. Sparkfun's tutorials should cover that.

If you hook this pump to a sealed container, it will produce varying pressure by varying the time that it is on. If you hook this pump to a leaky container, it will produce varying pressure by varying the speed of the pump's motor. Use pulse-width modulation to change the pump's speed. Do not use pulse-width modulation with a mechanical relay, or the relay will break.

To regulate the pressure, use a pressure sensor to tell the arduino when to turn the pump on or off. If you want to be accurate, try to find a sealed container, and pressurize it using the "leaky" method. Use the "sealed" method to fill a balloon or in cases where the actual pressure really doesn't matter.

If you hook this pump to a sealed container, it will produce varying pressure by varying the time that voltage is applied to it. Placing too low (or too high) of a voltage on any motor, including a pump, may damage it.

However, you can also hook this pump to a leaky container, and it will produce varying pressure by varying the speed of the pump's motor. You can use PWM (pulse-width modulation) of the voltage to change the pump's speed (an arduino has PWM libraries).

To you guys unsure of the pressure range… This is really a common sense kind of issue. Does it make sense that the pump would generate 0" of vacuum, i.e. a PERFECT vacuum? No, of course not. It's a $15 part for hobbyists. This means that it generates up to 16" of differential pressure, i.e. at 30" of mercury atmospheric pressure, it can bring that pressure down to ~14" or up to ~46".

To answer a few questions about how well the pump sucks, I hooked it to a vacuum gauge. The gauge read 760 mmHg before I powered it up. After turning it on and letting it equilibrate, the gauge read 218 mmHg. Thanks very much to my bro Mike Stephenson for setting up and letting me use the gauge and LabVIEW program for reading the gauge.

Transmorgrifying to other units, atmospheric pressure at that time was about 14.7 psi, and the pump made the pressure in the tube 4.2 psi. This is the thing I wanted to know, that there would be a 10 or so psi difference between atmospheric pressure and, for instance, the pressure in my coffegroundgrippermachine. I only have one of these vac pumps, so I could not perform any statistics, and I'll have to experiment anyway to figure out how to do stuff. In the words of the great philosopher Lemmy Kilmister "Take it or leave it."

Your mileage, of course, may vary.

So to clarify - this is not actually a vacuum pump, correct? It's just a regular air pump? Also where is the 16"Hg coming from? On the data sheet I see -70 kPa, which is -20.67"Hg. I'm assuming that given the 250 kPa upper range this actually a positive displacement pump that's hooked up in reverse to create vacuum?

The original manufacturer of this pump (Ningbo Forever Electronic Appliance Co., Ltd.) lists the maximum continuous working time as 5 hours with a total lifetime of 500 hours on their Alibaba.com page. They confirmed those values via email. So, I wouldn't recommend running this pump for long periods of time. In my case, I need something that will operate for a minimum of 12 hours a day.

This is a diaphram pump, so reversing the motor won't reverse the airflow. I don't think reversing the motor to reverse the x-flow works on more than turbine or Tesla pumps.

Hey Robert,
 I'm planning on using a motor driver, but do you know for sure that running the motor backwards will actually reverse the flow of the air? e.g. will the pump actually work with reversed current? Thanks.

I believe you will find one port (nipple) is suction, the other exhaust (blows).

If reversed will it work (for blow)? Some vacuum pumps seize up if run backwards (veined). I'm looking to build a picker, and would need a 'blow off' to break vacuum, and would rather not get into solenoid valves and such.

Probably not. You could probably get a few psi out of it but I wouldn't bet on anything greater than about one atmos, or 14 psi max. You would need a huge air system to blow ballast tanks, which would in turn cause a bouncy problem.
 A better solution, which I've used was to take a used threaded co2 cartridge from a bike emergency pump, bore out the center of the threaded area and and tap it so you can put a valve in it. Then you can pressurize it with an air compressor, and use it in your air system. An added bonus is that when you have three or four it looks like the HP air system on a sub. You can use ¼" stainless as the air header.

That depends on what you mean exactly. You may be able to enclose the unit to keep it watertight. However, I have no reason to believe it could pump water effectively.

Being the cheap bstrd that I am, I'm looking to make a motorized one man brake bleeder. There are pneumatic models on the market at about $100.00. I was hoping that this pump could be attached to a container, create a vacuum and be used to draw brake fluid out of the brake line. Sadly, I do not know how to translate the vacuum created by the pump into what is needed for the viscosity of brake fluid. Thanks, Jari.

another possibility for pumping liquids is an aquarium powerhead. i dont think they work so well if you want any amount of pressure, but if you're just using it to move liquid they work quite well….

If you wanted a high pressure pump that can pump liquids use a solenoid pump either from the internet, or buy a cheap espresso maker with a pump in it (70$ish, target)
 if you want a low pressure water pump, get one that is for liquid cooling computers.
 both of those will have tube in tube out

Hey, could you expand on this more: '0-16" Hg vacuum range'
 I was looking at vacuum pump measurements and it seemed like this means that the 30" hg at atm could be brought down to a vacuum of 14" hg. But then I got into looking and there are micron measurements for vacuums of 500 microns. Instead of subtracting this distance from the 30" hg they added from 0". This leads me to my question of what the zero in the 0-16" inches because this would either mean that the vacuum is perfect or that the vacuum doesn't work at all, none of which really make sense.

https://unchartedblogdotorg.wordpress.com/2017/04/19/welcome-to-six-sentence-stories-44/ Zoe's Cue: QUESTION
When the rain and thunder subsided on the day she found the small brass key, Zinnia, exhausted from her inner emotional storm, fell into a hard sleep on her lumpy sofa—only to be wakened at periwinkle dawn as the tap-tapping returned, along with strains of melody from the antique music box.
Weary to her marrow, she refused to open her eyes; perhaps if she learned to ignore the insanity which made up the ambiance of her new home, it might eventually disperse…slip out a partially opened window on the freshening April breeze.
But the tap-tapping increased in tempo, volume, and the music box tune began to sound familiar—could it really be "Recuerda Me" (Remember Me)?
The beautifully haunting love song's plea—too recent to have been crafted with the antique box—played in stark contrast to the exigent tap-tapping; and yet, pondering the context, she perceived a possible…dizzying…connection.
Rising from the couch, walking toward the kitchen, she bumped her hip painfully against the bookcase—which caused the tap-tapping and music to cease abruptly.
Stifling a curse in the blessed silence, she realized her hip action had caused a bottom drawer to come unstuck, revealing a peek of folded onionskin stationery…Zinnia cautiously reached for it, smoothed it open, and read a single bold-typed question: WHAT DO YOU SEEK?

In a surely James Bondish scene complete with lasers and campy theme songs, someone grabbed some shots of the Apache successor, the Verizon XV6800. No big changes here cosmetically, other than what is certain to be a slightly slimmed waistline. Otherwise you get some EV-DO Rev A, improved camera, and other very normal stuff. We're not saying Bond wasted his time, we just hope he didn't need to kill anyone for the shot.

2nd Dragoons(Scots greys)
No, it's because of they service mostly during the WSS but also SYW.
I plan on doing the regiments for both those periods(and yes for Waterloo too)
First up is the WAS/SYW period versions. The miniatures are the wonderful Crann Tara.
I'm quite happy with the troopers but the horses didn't turn out well, I hate to paint white/gray horses. After trying several different techniques like dry brush I decided to try water downed paint. Sadly the highlights didn't have a big enough contrast and so the details get washed out. But I got the taste for it. And I'll keep at it, I've done 4 more horses now and I think the results are already better.
Next up is the Austrian dragoons(with the aforementioned horses) And I went all out with those. (more on that later)

Numidian cavarly
So I finished these 2 "small" units for Hail Ceasar. They are the lovely Victrix plastic set.
I'm kinda anciented out now, I have to try and finish my elephant and Spanish cavalry. But I mostly want to get back to my 18th-century projects. Not sure if GNW or SYW will be first out.

Allied Principes
I painted some 250-300 ancients before I moved, they did survive the move, but through the last 2-3 years moving the boxes as I was looking for other boxes etc. They got weaker, and the box finally gave out, taking out over 50% of them. I lost all my romans except some velites and one triarii unit.
I also lost my Tarentine cavalry, my thuroperos.
The survivors are Geroge the Elephant, my two units of phalangites, the aforementioned roman units and a unit of Carthaginian veterans. So I'm trying to save them by stripping them and repainting them. I'm now working on one such unit some roman cav.
But I also got some spare unpainted stuff laying around. And I managed to get aa unit of allied principes done. No shield decals sadly. So instead I went with the M&M approach. Also, they seem to have the same mix of colors as the new colour coded Daleks.
Quite a lot of work on these, I think they take 50-100% longer than my GNW figures, lots of little details.
I've also given up on the "few big bases" approach for my ancients and instead gone with my now standard base side of 60x60mm

Regiment Stainau
I'm a bit annoyed, I'm very happy with how the battalion turned out, but the sun was too strong, and much of the detail got washed out, and the kinda look like they have gloss varnish on them....
20 figures from Warfare miniatures, with warfare flags.
A good looking unit, with red, white and green, colors, and green and white flags.
This brings my Allied army up to 6 battalions and 7 squadrons(BLB squadrons so that would be 14 real squadrons)
I'm taking it easy the next days, I 'll work on a Saxon gun, while waiting for my next delivery from Warfare

We're at 50% strength
This was my first goal when I started, I rarely do I get this far in my project, It's not a great force, 54 cavalry in 9 squadrons, 66 infantry in 3 battalions and 3 generals.
All the cavalry are Warfare, two of the battalions are also warfare, one of the battalions are Footsore/Musketeer miniatures. The generals are Ebor. All flags are warfare too.
At full strength, this would be 1800 infantry and 2250 cavalry.
The units are Småland cavalry regiment and a single squadron of Drabants.
Infantry are Jönkjöping, Björnborg and Kalmar.
The next half will be an almost mirror of this, with maybe an extra infantry battalion.
I know Gylldenstierna dragoons and lifeguard cavalry regiment will be most of the cavalry, while lifeguard infantry will have one battalion represented. I also think Västerbottens regiment will show up.
It looks like quite a few figures, but really it's only 123.
3 brigades, one of 24 cavalry, one of 30 cavalry and an infantry brigade of 66 figures.
The big flags does help with the look!
Left flank cavalry brigadier
Infantry brigadier
Right flank cavalry brigadier.
I'm now working on some footsore/musketeer miniature Russians, I'm not a fan of the figures, but I have 2 battalions worth of them, and that's like £60+ worth of miniatures, and I'm too poor to waste that money. Also, I have a battalion of Russians on the way from warfare, And so that will give me a brigade of Russians.
So half way there.

Heeeere COOOMES THE CAAAVVAALLLRRYY ( the end!)
So Småland regiment was the first unit I started when I started on my new GNW project, this was back in November 2015. And now well over a year later, the regiment is done.
Now being as giant as it is, it will be split into two brigades.
Now being as giant as it is, it will be split into two brigades.
48 Swedish cav thundering over the terrain tile!
The figures are of course all Warfare, and I got 6 left, that I'll paint as Drabants.
Sea of blue and yellow!
Warfare will soon release new packs of Swedish cavalry with new horses. So the other half of my Swedish cavalry force will be made with those.
That half with be 24 Gyldenstjerna Dragoons and 30 Livregimentet til hest.
The regiment takes up more than 3 tiles in breath when deployed in line.
So I besides the 6 cavalry I need 3 command and my Swedish force will be half done.
Up next is some more Saxon cavalry.

Review Warfare Miniatures "model cavarly regiment" part 2
So not a proper review, just showing you what else can be made with it.
Last time I showed 18 Saxons, with their mix of floppy hats and tricorns, with cuirass under the coat.
Well here you have the same deal but painted as 18 Danes, this time all tricrones with front and back plate over the coat. Also they are painted with buff coats.

Well here you have the same deal but painted as 18 Danes, this time all tricrones with front and back plate over the coat. Also they are painted with buff coats.
These poor guys have been almost done for months, by the end of September I had 15 of them bases and ready to go but the last 3 lingered primed but not painted. So yesterday I painted the horsies and today the troopers. Even had time to take them out for a photoshoot.
They look ok, I'm half way satisfied with the buff coats, but lets just say, they are kinda drab, next to those red coated Saxons or Blue coated swedes.
They are painted as 2nd Sjælandske, And it's to big, my regiments have a tendency to be too big. This is 3 squadrons, while I've only found them fielded as two squadrons. To add to that, BLB squadrons are the same as two real squadrons. So this unit isn't one squadron to big, but 4 squadrons to big.
In the end it looks quite nice, I'm overall happy with them. And even tho it's kinda drab colorwise, they are kinda at the same time striking in the buff coats.
But it was cold and they needed to huddle togeather for warmth. So I brought out their friends.
My Forces so far to stand against the Swedes. 36 cavalry, 54 infantry and 1 commander.
I still have 12 Saxon cav and 20 Saxon infantry waiting to be painted.
Of course this is just a fraction of the planned army. With at least 9 battalions and some 20++ Squadrons planned. To face the Swedes.

System water recirculation needs to be given the highest priority whenever and wherever possible by the industries. This means that the conventional wisdom of end-of- pipe treatment for pollutants discharge may not be sufficient. Additional in-plant water conservation efforts are becoming necessary to reduce the volume of effluents discharged and minimize solid waste for disposal. The development of process integration technique has been one of the most significant advances in waste minimisation in the past decades. Via in-plant material reuse/recycle, both raw material consumption and waste generation are reduced significantly. The book discusses methods for waste water recycling in the process, using water pinch technique by giving actual industrial example. Process integration without and with treatment of paper mill effluent is discussed in details by Authors. In addition saving in terms of money, by reduction of pollution discharge and fresh water consumption is also analyzed. This book will be useful for process engineers, environmental engineers, students, researchers, consultants, managers and other professionals working in the water recycling field.

Choosing Orange Variety
The decision on which variety to plant and cultivate is probably one of the most important decisions an orange grower will make. It will affect his/her production, routine and annual work calendar for the next 40 years. Things to consider: Are you planning to grow oranges for juice or as fresh? Which variety will be easily adapted to the climate conditions of your region? Which variety appears to be resistant in diseases commonly found in your region? Are you able to harvest by hand or mechanically the oranges during the selected variety's normal ripening season? Are you able to hire workers or rent machines at that particular time of the year?
"Valencia" variety
Nearly all of the world's orange juice production comes from Valencia oranges. However, Valencia oranges can also be eaten as fresh. The fruit of Valencia is moderately large in size. It has an elongated shape to spherical and well-shaped during maturation. In order to mature, Valencia has great needs in heat, and these needs are satisfied only in the warmest areas. In the US, such conditions occur only in Florida, in the Rio Grande valley of Texas and in the lowest dry areas of Arizona and California. In such areas, Valencia oranges normally mature in January or February and they may be retained on the tree several months after ripening, even till the flowering. In areas with less warm, ripening is delayed and overlaps with flowering, sometimes for several months. Consequently, in many areas, the trees usually bear two crops, the old, who are mature or near to maturity and the new, which is in the process of flowering or fruit growing. In areas with mild winters and moderately low overall heat in the growing season, Valencia ripens in summer. It is one of the most important varieties in Florida and California and represents almost half of the US orange production. Moreover, Valencia is one of the most important varieties in South Africa, Australia, Mexico, Israil, Algeria, Morocco and Brazil.
"Navel" Varieties
The navel oranges are consumed mainly as fresh fruit and secondarily as an additive to juices. They are not suitable for juicing because their juice becomes of bitter taste during preservation. Normally the fruit is seedless and bigger in size than the orange fruit of Valencia variety. The most important of the navel orange varieties are: Washington Navel or navel Washington or Bahia or Merlin. In the US, the Washington navel oranges ripen from fall into winter, and the fruit normally stays on the tree for 3 to 4 months.

Senators Call For Investigation Into Employer Facebook Password Controversy
Two U.S. senators are asking Attorney General Eric Holder to investigate whether employers asking for Facebook passwords during job interviews are violating federal law, their offices announced Sunday.
Troubled by reports of the practice, Democratic Sens. Chuck Schumer of New York and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut said they are calling on the Department of Justice and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to launch investigations. The senators are sending letters to the heads of the agencies.
The Associated Press reported last week that some private and public agencies around the country are asking job seekers for their social media credentials. The practice has alarmed privacy advocates, but the legality of it remains murky.
On Friday, Facebook warned employers not to ask job applicants for their passwords to the site so they can poke around on their profiles. The company threatened legal action against applications that violate its long-standing policy against sharing passwords.

Austin, TX -- Today, the Texas Senate State Affairs Committee voted to move Imperial Gov. Abbott's Articles of Confederation to the Texas Senate Floor. [Statesman, February 2017]
Texas Democratic Party Executive Director Crystal K. Perkins issued the following statement:
"The Texas economy under Imperial Gov. Greg Abbott has plummeted from 3rd to 21st, the President of the United States could be compromised by Russia, and children are dying in Abbott's state foster care system, but the Texas Republican Senate has the time to discuss ripping apart the United States Constitution.
"This is one of the most un-American, unpatriotic things I've ever seen. Trump Republicans are nothing but a bunch of crackpots and traitors."

Put 'Em on the Glass [Feel free to change this title, I'm not married to it or anything]Posted by Jim Treacher at July 29, 2003 01:20 PM
Shattered Glass is a movie about Steven Glass, who was this writer for New Republicans magazine who made up a bunch of characters and events and passed them off as stuff that really existed in real life. Which I'm not sure why that's such a big deal, but whatever. So he did this for a while, and then he got caught, and then nobody heard from him for a few years, and now he's back because he wrote a book that nobody seems to be buying. And now there's a movie about his life. Why not?
In the movie he's played by Hanson Christian, best known for his role on Star Trek. I liked the movie. It was pretty good. They had popcorn at the theater, but they had just run out of the fake butter. Which is the best part! The elderly, white-haired clerk behind the counter was very apologetic as he explained this to me. His wrinkled brow was furrowed with worry and his eyes glimmered with compassion for his disappointed customers. His scuffed and faded nametag read "Leonard." This was in the lobby of the movie theater, before the movie that I really did see.
So anyway, Paul Zahn is also in the movie. He's been in a lot of other movies, like that one with Jack Black, and he's always funny. He's not as funny in this one, probably. Clëö Sëvingëy is in it as the girl, but for once she doesn't give anybody a handjob. [Verify?] Plus, the guy who wrote and directed it is the creator of the '80s TV show Earth 2, so that should give you some idea of what to expect.
What else. I don't remember the name of the theater, but it was sort of old-timey, not like a multiplex or anything. It was a fading symbol of a bygone era. Oh, and when I went up to the box office and paid my money, I said, "Yeah, that's the ticket!" I got a chuckle out of that one.
In summary, Shattered Glass will be swept up... at the Oscars!
[I realize I'm a few hundred words short, but just put whatever you want in there, fiddle with the margins, whatever. The money's going to charity anyway, right?]

1 Canada Square, Canary Wharf, London E14 5DL. Usual Newspaper Publishing competition rules apply. Entries to arrive by Thursday 16 October.
The conversation, like many others I had with people on trains, derived an easy candour from the shared journey, the comfort of the dining car, and the certain knowledge that neither of us would see each other again. The railway was a fictor's bazaar, in which anyone with the patience could carry away a memory to pore over in privacy. The memories were inconclusive, but an ending, as in the best fiction, was always implied. The sad engineer would never go back to England; he would become one of these elderly expatriates who hide out in remote countries, with odd sympathies, a weakness for the local religion, an unreasonable anger, and the kind of total recall that drives curious strangers away.
There were three people in my compartment, a Canadian husband and wife and a grim hairy boy from an East London slum. They were all going to Australia - the Canadian couple because "We didn't feel like learning French," the Cockney because London "is 'eaving with bloody Italians". It must be a sociological fact that prejudice is a more common motive for emigration than poverty, but what interested me was that these three were living like the poorest they were among, eating vile food, and sleeping in bug-ridden hotels, because they were rejecting a society they saw to be in decay.
Their dialogue was absolutely petrifying. I hired a blanket and pillow from the conductor, who demanded only a token bribe, had a gin anaesthetic, and went to sleep.

Airbus Industrie, the European aircraft manufacturing consortium in which British Aerospace is a partner, has beaten its arch-rival Boeing to win the lion's share of a $6bn (pounds 4bn) contract for 56 aircraft.
The deal with International Lease Finance is one of the biggest placed with Airbus, and helps to ease the huge disappointment it felt after losing a $12.7bn Singapore Airlines order to Boeing in December.
Yesterday's announcement also includes an order for 120 aircraft engines, thought to be worth about $140m, shared by Rolls-Royce, Pratt and Whitney, and GE-CFM, the US-French joint venture.
Los Angeles-based ILF - which leases aircraft to scheduled airlines and charter operators - has placed a firm order for 38 Airbus aircraft, with options on a further eight, and becomes the first company to acquire the consortium's new wide-body A330-200 jet. The aircraft have a book value of about $3.6bn.
The Airbus orders from ILF also include 13 twin-engined A330-200s, and 12 of the four-engined A340-300s - the aircraft with the longest range in the world, about 9,300 miles. The deliveries to ILF are to begin in May 1997.
ILF is also buying 18 Boeing 777s, with a further two options, for about $2.8bn. Airbus has about 30 per cent of the world share of aircraft sales, against Boeing's 60 per cent.
Jean Pierson, managing director of Airbus, said: "With more than 70 Airbus Industrie aircraft leased and currently in service with some 30 operators throughout the world, ILF has helped us increase our market penetration even further."
Airbus said it is also talking to Tunisia's airline Tunis Air about providing replacements for its 11 Boeing 727s and 737s.
Rolls-Royce said yesterday that its order for Trent engines was worth about $175m. The company will supply two Trent 800 engines for each of four Boeing 777s and two Trent 700s for each of four Airbus A330-200 airliners.
GE Aircraft Engines and CFM International, which is jointly owned by GE and Snecma of France, said that its contract for 86 engines was worth about $1bn. Pratt and Whitney is supplying 11 engines in a deal worth $240m.
Meanwhile, Boeing today publishes its annual market forecast for the aircraft sector, predicting that the worst is over for the depressed sector. Nancy Bethel, vice president of marketing for Boeing, said: "Our industry appears to have made it through the bottom of the cycle."
Orders for new aircraft throughout the industry more than doubled in 1995 to 714, and it was the first time since 1990 that orders exceeded deliveries. The report said that the world's airlines are expected to buy 15,900 aircraft worth $1,100bn over the next 20 years. Two out of three of these aircraft will be delivered outside the United States.
The figures are based on Boeing projection for world economic growth of 3.2 per cent a year. Passenger traffic is expected to grow at 5.1 per cent a year throughout the world with travel in the Asia-Pacific region growing the fastest at 7.1 per cent. Air travel growth in China will average 11.5 per cent.

What Yardstick is Used to Measure Beauty in Zimbabwe?
I have often heard it said that Zimbabweans have no distinct features that make us stand out as a people among other Africans. No characteristic complexion, body shape or texture of hair. A pretty bland people, some people even opine. So you'd think that without a normative standard of beauty, our beauty pageantry would offer…Details

MYMYM.com – MYM will receive an autoberth into the ESWC Grand Finals.
It's been nearly two weeks since PGS announced their new Counter Strike team and – as of then – they had secured an autoberth for the ESWC Grand Finals.
ESWC, however, changed that today, MYMYM.com reports. ESWC CEO Matthieu Dallon says that "the 2008 title belongs to Meet Your Makers as the Danish organization were the official club registered at the 2008 event, being, therefore, the beneficiary of both the prize money and the autoberth."
PGS had hopes that the Grand Finals autoberth would remain theirs, as the team had registered under their name.
In addition, Dallon revealed that the new rule concerning autoberths also gives the spot in the 2009 edition to MYM as PGS had no team at the tournament.
"This rule now avoids the issues we faced last year," Dallon told myMYM.com. "We are trying to be fair, to respect the clubs, but also to protect players."

Justin worked as a Naval Aviator and I as an Account Executive for a Market Research Firm. We were blessed by the birth of two beautiful daughters. After nine years in Virginia, we moved to Southern Maryland where Justin continues to work for the U.S. Navy and I stay home with our daughters.
In celebration of their 10th Anniversay, Justin and Jen spent time in San Diego, CA. Jen tagged along one of Justin's business trips and the could stayed in an adorable B&B in little Italy. Jen says that they enjoyed some kid free dinners and picturesque jogs/hikes along the coast. Congratulations you two!
