Technical Paper
Reduction of Exhaust Emissions by a Synthetic Lubricating Oil with Higher Viscosity Grade and Optimized Additive Package for a Heavy Duty DI Diesel Engine Test
A 10W-50 G4 synthetic lubricating oil (EULUBE oil) was tested on a heavy duty DI diesel engine under two steady state conditions. The exhaust emissions were measured and compared to a 10W-30 CF semi-synthetic lubricating oil. The EULUBE oil contained the friction reduction additive to improve the fuel economy. The engine used was a 6 cylinder, turbocharged, intercooled Perkins Phaser Engine, with emission compliance of EURO 2, fitted with an oxidation catalyst. The exhaust samples were taken both upstream and downstream of the catalyst. Gaseous and particulates emissions were measured. Particulate size distribution was measured using ELPI and SMPS. The particulate samples were analysed for VOF, carbon and ash. A MEXA7100 gas analysis system was used for legislated gas analysis such as CO, CO2, NOx and total hydrocarbons. The results showed a significant reduction by synthetic lubricating oil in gaseous hydrocarbon emissions, total particulate mass, particulate carbon and ash.

Event 8 February 18.30 - 22.30
Side Dish is the parallel program of Corridor Project Space for 2019.
With Side Dish we dive into the world of investigations. How can art contribute to different ways of eating in the sense of experience, habits, buying behaviour or a broader reconsideration of the product that people eat. We invite artists who approach food in a different way in order to share these ideas with a larger audience and to continue to expand these explorations through public discussions. Food can be used in their work as a theme, material or the food chain as subject of their practice. Each artist is collaborating with an expert, a professional involved in the local food production, and a chef. On these evenings we will share food with the audience, in the form of a dinner or a more experimental structure.
For the first Side Dish we invited Masha Ru who will focus on our soil, it's taste and health benefits to our being. In recent years she focuses on the eating of soil, also called geophagy. It is an ancient spiritual and healing practice which is an integral part of culture in several countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Her work for Side Dish will delve into topics such as becoming earth and ingesting art which then will become part of the body.
Masha Ru, born in Moscow, lives and works in Amsterdam. She has a background in science and combines scientific research with personal approach and cultural practices. In 2011 Ru obtained a doctorate degree in Mathematics and graduated with honours from Fotoacademie Amsterdam. In 2013-2014 she was a resident at Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. In 2018 she was an artist fellow at the Netherlands Institute forAdvanced Study in the Humanities and Social Sciences (NIAS-KNAW).
Corridor Project Space is an independent and interdisciplinary contemporary art initiative in Amsterdam with indoor and outdoor exhibition spaces. They believe in the importance of experimental art practices that focuses on the creation of new content that is off the grid from the institutional and commercial circles. Corridor Project Space is run by Suzan Kalle, Suat Öğüt and Müge Yılmaz and our lovely colleagues and volunteers!
Side Dish is supported by Amsterdam Fund of the Arts.
Corridor wants to thank Nolwenn Salaün for her work.

It is with pleasure and gratitude that we should share briefly our comments and experience in our dealings with Coogee Real Estate.
Coogee Real Estate has managed our family's investment properties for several years as well as assisting and guiding us through the relevant details process etc with the purchase of a new investment property.
The service provided under the guidance of James Giltinan (Director) by all personnel at the agency is in our opinion of the highest level which provides unqualified confidence to a client in knowing that ones best interests are being looked after and managed in a most professional and caring manner.
The attitude and level of the service provided from all staff is nothing short of exceptional however it would be remiss of us if we though did not acknowledge and make special reference of two young executives namely Corrine Smith (Client and New Business Manager) and Alexandra Amorginos (Senior Property Manager) for without their dedication and professional conduct it may have been very doubtful if our rental return objectives would have been achieved.
One could not ask for a more professional organisation than the Coogee Real Estate business operating in the property market in the Randwick City Council municipality to guide a person/s through both the buying and rental/leasing process.
To James Giltinan and the whole team you are a credit to yourselves and the real estate industry in Australia.

What are employer super contributions?
Employer contributions are super payments you make for your employees. These can include Superannuation Guarantee (SG) contributions, super contributions required under an Industrial Award or Agreement and any salary sacrifice contributions requested by your employee.
How do employer super contributions work?
As an employer, you are required to pay a minimum of 9.5% of Ordinary Time Earnings (OTE) for an employee (over age 18 who earns more than $450 per month) as Superannuation Guarantee (SG) contributions.
You may also have to make contributions for an employee under the Award or Industrial Agreement that your employee works under.
If you provide your employees with the option to salary sacrifice some of their income, these contributions also need to be paid to the employee's super fund.
Important dates
All employers please note, to ensure contributions are shown on members' 30 June benefit statements, contributions to default fund members must be remitted and paid by 3:00pm (EST) on 26 June. This date allows adequate processing time for contributions to be received and allocated to members of the fund.
If you are remitting contributions for choice funds, we recommend that you aim to authorise payments by 3:00pm (EST) on 16 June. This timing allows for the allocation of contributions to choice funds by 30 June.
If either 16 June or 26 June fall on a weekend, please ensure contributions are remitted and paid prior to 3:00pm on the following business day.
Please note: Any contributions remitted or paid after the deadlines stated above may result in the contributions being applied to member accounts in the following financial year. We recommend contacting us for further information if you have any questions.
In addition, employers are obligated to make payments for each quarterly period by the below final payments dates, as specified by the ATO:
|Payment cut-off
|1st July – 30th September
|28th October
|1st October – 31st December
|28th January
|1st January – 31st March
|28th April
|1st April – 30th June
|28th July
It's crucial to pay the correct amount of super by the cut-off date each quarter to avoid paying the Superannuation guarantee charge to the Tax Office.
You can choose to make super payments more regularly than quarterly. For example fortnightly or monthly, so long as the total amount you owe each quarter is paid by the quarterly cut-off dates.
If an important date falls on a weekend or public holiday, you should make the payment by the next working day.

Is your child complaining of achy and sore legs?
Growing pains in children can be difficult to diagnose, as the cause of them is still currently unknown. There is a misconception that pains are related to growth spurts, or bones growing too quickly, however this is yet to be proven. There is no damage caused by growing pains, with joints and bones being unaffected.
Growing pains most commonly occur between the ages of three to five, and from eight to eleven years. Some children continue to experience this pain up until early adolescence. Both girls and boys are equally affected.
Symptoms for growing pains include:
- Muscular aches experienced in both legs. Commonly the front of the thighs, behind the knees, and in the calf.
- Occasionally, pain in the arms can be felt too.
- Growing pains are most commonly felt in the evening or at night. Sometimes severe enough to wake the child from sleep.
- Pain is often resolved by morning.
- Pattern of this pain is often erratic. Pain can come and go, occurring nightly or a few times a week then sporadically resolving.
- Movement does not make the pain worse, and it does not hinder movement. You won't find a limp or the inability to run or play.
It is good to note the symptoms presented by your child, as they will assist in your doctor ruling out other causes of pain. These can include arthritis, infection or injury – or an underlying problem that needs to be investigated. If your child's pain is accompanied by feeling unwell, with a fever or swelling, it is strongly advised to visit your GP.
Your osteopath at St Kilda Osteopathy can help treat growing pains and the associated issues it presents! as well as rule out any biomechanical dysfunction potentially causing pain –eg flat feet, knocked knees, toe walking to name a few. Most common treatment for growing pains is gentle massage to help release tight muscles and assist with fluid movement and encourage optimal circulation. Heat, such as a warm bath or heat pack, can also be applied to the painful area or paracetamol can provide some pain relief too. And as always, staying fit and moving, having plenty of water and sleep and incorporating a healthy and balanced diet of vegetables, fruit, dairy and protein is advisable – but always check with your health practitioner first if you have any queries or concerns!
If your child is experiencing aches and pains, contact St Kilda Osteopathy and we can help you out!

We are all familiar with the dumbbell. Seen in gleaming racks stretching the length of mirrored walls, almost every man who works out can tell you the common exercises that he--and all of his gym buddies--do as part of their upper-body routine.
These aren't they. Here are 3 must do dumbbell exercises that can create unprecedented power and results:
Floor to Overhead
This simple exercise mimics the movement of an overhead snatch, and works practically every muscle in the body. From a squat, position a moderate weight dumbbell between your feet. As you begin to lift from the legs, draw the dumbbell up the mid-line of the body, shrugging the shoulders as you stand to flip the elbow and arm up overhead. This is a seamless motion that brings the weight from the floor to the sky using the power of the legs and core. It creates stability, strength, power and precision.
Turkish Get-ups
To develop core strength, balance and focus, few exercises can beat the Turkish Get-up. It is a multi-headed movement chain that trains and shapes the glutes, obliques, shoulders, chest and arms. From a supine position, hold a dumbbell directly over the shoulder. As you move, keep this weight straight up to the sky, regardless of the position of your body and keep your eyes on the weight. Bend the opposite knee and elbow to prop yourself up on the seat and hand. Lift the hips through a side-plank position and scoot that foot underneath you so that you can rise to a one-kneed kneeling position. Then slowly rise to standing. The weight has remained straight overhead. Then slowly reverse the sequence to return to the floor. Up and down completes one rep.
Renegade Rows
Renegade rows are pushups on fire. Due to the plank-like position, isometric training happens in the deep abdominals which helps to create core strength and stability. The lifting of the weights to the body trains triceps, biceps, pectorals, deltoids, lats and obliques to create power and shape.
Place two dumbbells of equal weight on the floor and assume a high push-up position, grasping the weights. Keeping the body completely straight from shoulders to heels, alternately row the dumbbells to the shoulder. Completing a left and right movement completes one rep.
As you can see, dumbbells offer more than the standard upper-body training. Their slightly unstable nature provides an unprecedented opportunity to create core stability training. This becomes an amazing asset to your programming, helping to provide greater safety and results.

Part 1. Whiskey Beer and Wine. EP
1. Alright, Alright, Alright
Nothing beats a confident woman you're in a relationship with who "fears no evil", drives a "blood red Camaro" like it's part of her, who leaves you with an image of herself: "always on my mind" as she drives off. She's the kind of woman who treats you so fine that "she took the devil out of me" and loves you deeply enough so you feel "she's my love to the highest apogee"! Her fondness for you gives you hope "that she'll set me free". And you unselfishly conclude "it feels alright". The verses speak glee of the heart from a decisive realisation of her grip of you out of her magnetic attraction to you! What joy!!
The song starts with hard down strumming electric lead guitar with a bit of distortion, hard overdrive, a sense of funk, phase and fuzz and whole lotta of body in every ac-tone of each string vibration. It quickly comes to mind 'I'm gonna tell you about someone I loved and why, I'm gonna get serious, I'm gonna take the time this time'. Hard taps and drum kicks drop in to support the forthrightness of this wonderful story. Call it a ballad with a country-like feel, wanging guitar with hard stick struck drumming with a soloist who sings with long, raspy 'drawn out of the soul' words from a heart complete. And just before the end there's this awesome blues guitar solo just saying how fine this woman is to have in your life. It speaks but one word: "alright"!! You hear it speaking it over and over and never grow tired of it!
2. He Could Love
There is nothing harder in this world than the slow burn on the edge of one's heart pained by the unresolved need for their father's love. In all he could do: "the talk", "the dance", to laugh and to cry, to "push all your buttons" and faith through all he could do expressed through the "angel with his crazy concubine". No matter what nakedness there was in his lair, he just couldn't give his love. How saddened the damage to his son's heart to never know, nor hear, nor see it.
This unrelenting agonising piece begins with a slow and drooled out down strum of low notes from an electric guitar, a weathered and beaten voice , the slow plucking, plunging, tapped periods… again… percussive reminders of a long list of hopes and wishes of "And all I ever wanted was to know he could love". The depth all the way to the end of his father's life with still no answer. I almost cried listening. I felt the empty space inside me.
3. Suzi Blue
More often, with friends about, one pulls out an acoustic guitar and starts playing a memory – a past loved one, a person they knew, a good friend or someone they dated wondering what has happened to them, where they are now and what have they become. This piece is Colm Jackson's turn to tell us about a past person whom he knew: "Whatcha' you doing today", "It's been a mighty long time", "since you took my breath away". Our own memory throws out a spark of a once-upon-a-time person we knew, a person important to us, the need to know where they are now.
Colm's weathered and wiry voice with a need to know grips the listener to 'hear' the story, to remember the hardships in relationships in their own past. To have to see later the hard habits not yet broken "Is that a needle in your pocket", to have caught a glimpse of her running with the wrong crowd… all the while remaining "hypnotized" by her.
I don't think any of us ever tire of hearing a song like this from any of our friends because their story is like one of ours. I enjoyed this work! Thank you Colm for bringing up my own memories. May she always be in yours.
4. Whiskey, Beer and Wine
Trapped in the basement with the ravages of what you did every morning "Drink whiskey, beer and wine all the time" knowing, 'dammit', "I can't stand you're leaving me". But you know the time has come, your drinking became too much no matter your apologies "Oh I know that I've been trouble these past seven years or more". The emotions come back all too real, the loss of her by your side all too frightening to face again, the way out too simple to do alone… because in your cries you still believe there's a chance she will come back "won't you come on home to me" you'll try to cry out again and again. The electric lead guitar playing is powerful and well recorded and mastered, upbeat but not overbearing over the vocals.
The string play is creamy, intense, gritty, throaty like the voice, with the occasional guitar slides pushed along the way. The supportive background drumming is well matched, to the lead guitar play. 'Oh yeah fast strums' lead you through the verses with final statements felt from long string vibrations suggestive of hope. And distinct tones bring out the lyrics. It's clear life is still on that long road of potholes filled with the trials and repeated attempts of remorse "Won't you come and say hey baby, I would right out all my mistakes, Oh my mistakes now". But the need to more whiskey proves too much "ah baby give me whiskey" and the song ends quickly. I like this song a lot. The alienation and total helplessness is felt throughout. It's an experience many will remember and a discomfort, but no longer a lonely one to suffer, to those living it wanting someone to hold them.
Whiskey Beer and Wine EP – Artwork
In the comfort of your tell-all room in your own home with its old wallpaper, durable furniture, pictures on the wall of friends and family, your best friend there behind you illustrative that he has your back whenever you need him… This is the best place to finally get serious: 'I'm gonna tell you about someone I loved and why. I'm gonna get serious. I'm gonna take the time this time! Oh yes I am… of this woman who set me free, my hurt because my father couldn't show me his love, how I wondered of what happened to a girl I once knew and the bad times when alcohol got the best of me. I'm gonna play my heart out and sing to you these times in my life.' It is an album of storytelling country rock filled with wonder, cries and being a survivor. Colm Jackson's voice and guitar playing is clear, honest and upfront about his experiences. And he is backed up by the support of Darragh O'Neill on drums like a best man.
Part 2. Tightrope / Last Train to Liverpool. Single
1. Tightrope
Whether you are on the "razor's edge", "hanging off a ledge", "wishing for high hope" in whatever it is you do, want, or need you're "walking the tightrope" trying to figure it out along the way and thinking "I don't know how to make it", "I don't know how to break it". You trip down a path, you've switched from one tightrope to another, but it feels like it's only you "tripping on my jump rope" that you think you've got under your control. This is how it feels to move away from "this global disease" whether it be illegal drugs, pain killers, or alcohol to better health. You're crawling out from under realizing you are still living "under a microscope".
Heard way out in the background are organ-like pedal sounds of a barely felt dream. Hi-hat slams and claps, a snare strike now and then, a few toms hit in sequence, the light drum kicks against your ass, like an encouragement, to move you forward over and over again because you can't quite do it yourself without help… not yet. Hearing Darragh O'Neill's drumming sequenced to Colm Jackson's electric guitar strumming is like listening to two musicians who have become one – love this! The vocals are out front at the edge of the stage as if to sing directly to members of the audience who connect to the story… 'yeah brother, that me' and 'yeah brother, I was there once'! Tho underneath the verses the artist is reminded of the good guy on his shoulder telling him to sing "But I'm surviving, feel like I'm smiling". Like that… a lot! Gives hope to those trying to make it out.
2. Last Train to Liverpool
Breakups are never easy, never really understood and harder still if it's your partner who leaves you the last time for good just when you thought the relationship was getting closer to wonderful. It's not just the "last train to Liverpool" it's the last time that trip will be taken. But on that day, at that time, no matter the reasons is when the memories of being with your partner kick in hard. Their smells fill your nose and your mind, the erotic images of your intimate times together are in vivid high resolution wherever you look: "the smell of her perfume", "the love that filled this empty room", "hear her breathing deeply in my arms", and "filled with memories of all her swollen charm". And you think if only your partner "realized my love was sure and true" would it had continued on.
The piece starts with strumming solo an acoustic guitar with country styled 'loss by girl' chords, up and down, and up and down again so every string is like every remembered moment felt. The vocals start singing the story, the familiar emotions start up, the cries underneath are heard alongside the organ pedalling sounds of early '60's church blues with recoils like a glissando flown whip. Darragh O'neill drums in quiet with light cymbal taps, kick drumming a lost pulse missed, a bit of snare, a few toms played, the hi-hat softly slapping. There are electric lead guitar loops to create a choir sound on the chorus verses. And yet it doesn't seem to help "no one told me baby that I could be so misunderstood". It still hurts.
Loved this song!!
Tightrope / Last Train to Liverpool. Single Artwork
Life is often lived through tinted glasses that we craft inadvertently to protect us from others learning who we are and what we are feeling inside ourselves. We are our own microscope, our own misunderstanding not to be filtered by others, and create our own suffering by not openly telling others how to see us. We create our own tears. The "tightrope" we walk on is broken in so many places that we don't see how different an unbroken one is up ahead. We attempt to adjust our view and end up folding our hands as if around binoculars for yet another try to see through a distorted perspective – one we created that another saw through by chance. Life is blacker.
The white light we want moves away from our grasp just like the one we wanted did on her "Last Train to Liverpool". Colm Jackson tells us in two stories how life doesn't seem to get better whether it's about crawling out of drug addiction or into bed layered with images of memories while crying over a lost relationship. His wiry vocals and guitar play matched with the support of Darragh O'Neill's drumming are more like emotional instruments connected directly to the stories as if designed to pull out similar memories of such times from listeners. These songs grew on me a bit and in a better understanding of these struggles the more, I listened to them.

Death in the Snow
If you look at a topographic map of the Chilao area, you may see a notation for the Loomis Cemetery. Visitors to the Ranch often notice the small ten by twenty foot cemetery with its two headstones bearing the names of Wilbur Place and Ben Mustain. In 1923, Captain and Grace Loomis sold the small plot of land to the Place family as a permanent resting place for their son and his friend.
The story of the death of these two young boys near the Ranch in the winter of 1922 has been told many times by many people, but never quite so poignantly as in the following account. This story is taken directly from the Captain's journal with only minor editing.
Winter of 1922
As years passed and our place became known more and more hikers and campers would come in, even in wintertime. Those who did come back to us were of a high class – hardy hikers – none of the riff-raff of the cities. Shortly after New Year two boys, Ben Mustain and Wilbur Place – both students, came through on a hike thru the backcountry. It was a perfect day when they came in, a regular Indian Summer day.
Place had been in often and we treated him like one of our own children - the other was a stranger to us. They stayed over night; the next day they went to Mt. Pacifico. That afternoon after their return it started to rain here and next morning the tops of the mountains around were white – only a sprinkling on the ranch however. We tried to get the boys to stay until the storm was over, but we couldn't persuade them. They thought they had to get back.
They had come in by way of Barley Flats and Tejunga. They knew the risk was too great to go back that way, so they decided to go out by way of Chilao and Pine Flats. There were two cabins between here and Pine, while going back the way they had come they would not have had any shelter whatsoever. Mother gave them all the lunch they could carry to see them thru, and they left early next morning.
About the time they must have reached Chilao it settled down for a good heavy snow. We figured that they would get through and to the Upper Tejunga before the snow got too deep for travel. We had neither telephone nor radio at that time. The storm lasted 3 days after they left …
We heard no more of the boys until ten days afterwards. On the tenth day about 4:30 PM I saw John Opid and six other men coming in thru the gate. I went out and met them. John Opid asked me about where Wilbur Place was. I explained to him when and how they had left.
John told me then that they had found Ben just a mile below the ranch – frozen to death. As they followed the trail down into Cow Canyon he saw a blue jumper, which the boy used to wear. Wilbur had spread the jumper between two branches as a shelter – and the other boy had laid under it.
John and I went back that night to look for Wilbur but it got so dark that we had to give up the search. We went back the next morning. Where Ben lay we found pieces of flashlight they seemingly had tried to repair but failed. We tried to track but it was rather difficult due to the snow lying only in patches. The creek was running very high and we had a time getting across.
We found Wilbur's pocket book after a while. Kept on looking and found the holster to his 6 shooter – then we found a necktie and all of a sudden I ran right on to the spot where he was lying, face down in a patch of snow. It was a terrible thing for me to see the boy in this fashion again.
We went back to the house and rigged up a packsaddle with a frame on top and put it on Johnny and went back, packing up one at a time. We brought them up and then buried them at the lower end of the upper field. I made their coffins out of lumber which I had hewn myself. There was no way of getting them out – since the snow was still 5 and 6 feet on top.
Some time later the parents of the boys sent in markers, which I packed in on burros and placed at the head of each grave. The following day I sent Hugh Murdock up to Chilao to see where they had gone. He found that the boys had gotten to Billie Wright's cabin on Chilao, that they had broken in and left a note thanking the owner for the use of the cabin and leaving their address. They stayed in the cabin for two days, eating what little food they found.
They started to come back to our place, but had left the trail after about a 1/4 mile and gone straight down the mountainside – breaking their way through high snow and often walking on top of brush. They broke through often which accounted for why their clothes were in ribbons when we found them. They had no matches or anything in the way of food when we found them.
It is hard to realize the horror of their last hours. It took my wife and me a long time to get over this tragedy. During that winter five persons lost their lives in these mountains.
A short time afterwards we had a telephone put in here by the Flood Control Dept of L.A. County …

Taking care of a bedridden family member is not only tiresome but also draining emotionally. To the caregivers, you have to wear a smiling face even if things look rough; the patient at times is also a bit demanding. With all these scenarios, this is a situation that no one can run away from it but face it head-on. The best thing to make sure that both the patient and the caregivers are comfortable is to invest in gadgets that make work easy and efficient. A tankless water heater is one such appliance that is a must-have in a home that has a terminally-ill patient. It provides warm water to clean the bedridden family member's body. The question now lies on the tips before you buy electric tankless water heater such that it does not occupy much space.
You already have medical bills which at times the medical insurance may not cater for or you may have exhausted the limit. A water heater saves you energy and the power bills especially when you get a power-friendly water heater. This is a result of the system only heats that water that you need rather than heating all the water in the tank yet it will not maintain the temperature levels for long.
A bed-ridden patient may need hot water at that time and you should avail it, taking time to manually warm the water may discourage the patient. In this case, the water heater comes in handy to provide the required water at the point of need, In this case, the patient feels that people around him still care for him. This boosts his esteem despite the prevailing health challenges.
It is common for guests to come and visit to check on the patient. You have a lot on your head and the last thing you should think about is whether the guests have warm water for bathing or any use or not. This is a burden that you have offloaded; you now focus on other important issues. Don't you feel the caregiver will have a stress-free life despite the presence of the patient? Hot water has a lot of benefits to both the physical and emotional health of the patient and the caregiver. For example, there is s point that the patient just feels that he is at the point of despair. He becomes difficult to handle yet there is no way you can leave him unattended. This is the moment you just need to prepare hot water using the tankless water heater and just make sure that he has a warm bed bath. The hot water vasodilates the blood vessels hence enhancing blood circulation to body organs. The patient will have a relaxing effect making him feel comfortable. The next thing you expect from this patient is a night of deep sleep. That rest is important for a be ridden patient He wakes up fresh in both body and mind ready to face yet another day with a positive attitude.

One Watercolor a Day - 3 Exercises
I am still periodically doing an exercise from this book, and here are three recent pages. I'm painting in a Strathmore 9 X 12 watercolor (140lb) Visual Journal - and using my usual Winsor-Newton watercolor palette. The paintings are too big for my scanner, so I'm photographing them and then trying to lighten the blue-tinged background page in Photoshop.
Exercise 7: I painted the shapes of peppers and then actually drew their shapes on the top half of the page. And then I sketched the red and orange peppers on the bottom half of the page - trying not to just color them in like a coloring book. The yellow pepper at the bottom was another one that I painted first and then added ink because it was fun!
Exercise 8: Paint a plant paying attention to all of the different colors in the leaves. This is one of my house plants - the one with the most color variation.
Exercise 9: Draw a bird - which was hard for me unless I wanted to freeze in Central Park as I waited for some of their regulars to appear. However, I took many photos of geese at the Stone Barn Center for Food and Agriculture last Fall. I was able to combine photos and paint 3 Toulouse geese for this exercise. My friend Teri knows that I am doing these exercises in an attempt to loosen up my painting - and when she saw this page - and their sample in the book - she just laughed! Apparently I'm not loose yet!

The sixth part of this review is all about the music in Granblue Fantasy and the review will be concluded in this article.
Links to previous parts of Granblue Fantasy review
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5
The music in this game is very pleasing to the ears. You'll be sitting there reading the story and the music just emphasises what you're reading and it just engrossing you into the story. The main menu music will get stuck in your head, the shop has its own music. This all creates a memorable experience and just give you a good feeling about the game. OH BOY don't get me started on the raid music, you'll just be doing the raid normally then BAM the music kicks in and just ooohhhh does it feel nice to listen to them. The older raids have pretty generic music but the newer raids; man ohhh man are they good. I often find myself singing along to the newer raids music and even some of the sound tracks have generated their own memes of how ridiculously good they are.
Man this review is LONG! I do apologise the amount of text you had to read but oh my gosh, I deeply love this game. Hopefully you could get that feeling. Anyways this game has so much content, it has insane amounts of things to do and can often overwhelm you. But man can this lead to a rewarding and often "Hell Yeah (fist raised)" moments when things just go right for you. Especially the gacha rolls oh boy are there a roller coaster of emotions. There is so much I've left out because it's not much of an experience if I tell you what's so great about every fine detail.
Overall hopefully I tried to achieve my goal of piquing your interest of picking up this game, since this game originally started from a mobile/web browser app you can legit farm anywhere. I often see myself playing the game when I'm going to work or even on my lunch breaks! I do agree that it can be a bit off putting and it might not interest you however just give the game a little bit of your attention.
I'm very grateful and very glad that you took your time to read this review that was passionately written by me, This is the very first ever game Review on Anime.sh and I hoped you enjoyed it! I want to Sincerely Thank You! <3 for reading all of it; personally writing this review has been extremely satisfying!

Cycling is an integral part of our growing up but it's sad how we gradually outgrow our cycles
The obvious reason in most cases is the aspiration of moving onto motorbikes, cars and so on. What we miss in the whole process is that some basic things never change or get replaced. Like the wheel, it cannot be reinvented.
We cycle not with the purpose of reaching our destination but to continue enjoying health and environmental benefits. We're reminded of these needs again in that phase of life when met with health concerns and faced with environmental challenges like pollution and global warming.
Coming back to my experience of how I took more than 20 years to get back on the saddle.
4 years back my wife Mahasweta decided to gift me a cycle. I've been contemplating for a while but not executing my plans of restarting the sport. My hesitations were around worries like, "I am too old to cycle" or "It's not safe to cycle on the road anymore" or even "I may have health problems If I cycle at this age!"
Finally, I went to Decathlon Whitefield and found myself an attractive yellow Btwin Rockrider. I took a few rounds in the store and made a purchase. This was my first step toward entering the awesome world of cycling again. After buying the cycle, I rode it back home for 5kms. This was a great achievement considering I was doing it after 2 decades. The best was yet to come. The first day always looks nice and easy but the real fun begins only when you do something regularly.
Initial Challenges
So let me tell you about my initial feelings and some of the challenges I faced as I started.
- Stamina was limiting my no. of kilometers to a single digit. Even after a couple of months when I cycled to Cubbon Park (20kms both ways), I ended up sleeping for the entire day due to complete exhaustion.
- Maintaining regularity was difficult. Even once a week was not possible for the initial one year.
- Motivation to cycle. Initially, I would cycle alone and that was quite boring.
- Issues like body pain, back pain, muscle pain was another deterrent.
- Time constraints. Finding time in my busy schedule between home and office was a major challenge.
- Safety on the road. This is another reason why most people discontinue cycling.
- Chased by dogs early morning
What happened next?
One should not worry about all the challenges mentioned above at the same time. It will slowly go away with the right approach.
This is the process toward becoming experienced cyclists. In my case, I remember a funny incident that happened. I was upset with all the challenges and concluded that there must be something wrong with my cycle and hence all the problems. So I headed over to the Decathlon Whitefield Store almost a year and a half later and met Mr, Stanley. He was a polite and humble gentleman always ready to help. I took the opportunity to discuss my problems with him and requested to sell my cycle back to the store at a reduced cost. I still remember his reply, he said; "Sir, we sell cycles and not buy them back" but seeing my condition he offered to buy it himself, maybe to pacify me.
That gesture was really the beginning of a nice friendship between me and Mr. Stanley which continues till date. He became my untold cycling mentor (Guru). His first advice to me was to join their cycling community called "Weekend Riders." I found the idea interesting and joined immediately. Within a couple of days, the organized a ride toward Hoskote. It was close to 40 + kms (both ways) from my home.
We had to assemble on a Saturday morning near Hoody junction. I reached on time and met a set of enthusiastic riders waiting for others to join. It was the first time when I met Mr. Chandu Babu, another inspiring personality in my cycling journey as well as Mr. Rajneesh and a few more riders.
Now there is a reason why I've have mentioned this in detail. All of the above activities had a positive impact in overcoming my initial challenges.
How Cycling with the Community helped me overcome my challenges
- Being in a group always helps to clock more miles. Your stamina automatically starts improving. Group dynamics help.
- We tend to become more regular in cycling (starting from weekends initially). The excitement of meeting your group is very high.
- The motivation for riding and seeing new places takes away the laziness.
- A group is always taken seriously on the road. This ensures more safety while cycling.
- Obviously, the dogs continued chasing but our confidence levels were higher to handle that.
- Guidance from senior fellow riders on aesthetics and riding positions helps to get rid of body pain issues.
Many benefits of Cycling that has changed my life;
- Health benefits. Free from physical ailments and better stress management
- Got to know new people and made new friends in the process.
- Was able to unleash my potential and explore my capacity to do more than what I thought I could.
- Every extra kilometer covered during the process had pushed my mental barrier further.
- Reclaim my lost hours. I can do more in the same set of conditions than earlier.
- Was able to inspire a couple of my friends to take up cycling in the process.
- It's the real ME time I have with myself.
I really recommend the sport
Based on my experiences, I would definitely recommend everyone to take up some physical activity, especially cycling for multiple reasons.
It's a great way to reclaim your health, mental peace and time through your fast-moving stressful lives. I would highly recommend you to join cycling groups and communities to make the process easier for yourself. It's the best way to make more friends, get advice and tips from fellow riders and get motivated to ride more frequently and even commute to work if possible.
Inspire others to start cycling too by sharing your experiences and by encouraging them.
Few tips ;
- Eat and Hydrate well during cycling.
- Always follow safety rules while on the Road. Wear safety gear.
- Never STOP cycling completely just because you weren't regular for a while. Remember that quitting won't improve things.
Always remember, your health is what will save you later in life if taken proper care now.

When comparing Incipio CommandKit vs ConnectSense Smart Outlet, the Slant community recommends ConnectSense Smart Outlet for most people. In the question"What are the best smart switches?" ConnectSense Smart Outlet is ranked 2nd while Incipio CommandKit is ranked 4th. The most important reason people chose ConnectSense Smart Outlet is:
ConnectSense Smart Outlet has two outlets that can each be controlled and monitored independently.
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pro Activate the switch through proximity instead of complex schedules
This switch offers geo-fencing - that is, it can automatically turn on or off based on how close you are to it. This is extremely useful if you won't want to deal with timers or schedules. Just walk within a certain distance, and the switch will activate.
Pro Leaves other wall plugs accessible
Thanks to its horizontal design, this switch won't block you from plugging other devices into the wall outlet.
Pro HomeKit compatible
HomeKit is Apple's smart home ecosystem. It's main draw is it's deep integration with Siri, which allows you to control the switch with just your voice. You can also group connected devices together, and have multiple devices act on a single command.
Pro Can help reduce electricity bills
The CommandKit tracks the energy used, which can be used to determine how you can cut costs on your future energy bills.
Pro Each outlet can be controlled independently
ConnectSense Smart Outlet has two outlets that can each be controlled and monitored independently.
Pro Includes a USB charging port for charging phones
The USB charging port may have additional use in the future, however right now it can be used to charge phones or other devices such as smart watches, console controllers and more.
Pro HomeKit enabled
HomeKit is Apple's Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, with deep integration with Siri. As part of HomeKit, once properly setup you can have many devices in your house act to a single action. For example, saying "Hey Siri, go to bed" can trigger all your lights to turn off, your thermostat to turn down, and your doors to lock.
Pro Reliable connection, stays online when many other outlets do not
Outlets are only useful if you can use them, this one is solid.
Pro LEDs provide information at a glance
On the top left is a power indicator LED which indicates whether or not the plug is plugged into the wall and connected (if plugged in the light will be solid, if not connected the light will flash).
There are also 2 LEDs in the clear strip on the right of the sockets. These indicate whether or not the sockets are active. This is handy, because if HomeKit turns the socket off you can easily tell without wondering if anything is broken.
These lights can be turned off through the app, but can also serve as a dim nightlight if you leave them on.
Pro All other HomeKit products can be controlled via the ConnectSense app as well
Interoperability among products within the smart home.
Pro Can get very fancy when using in conjunction with HomeKit scenes
Scenes allow you to not only control one device, but multiple at the same time, this outlet plays great with HomeKit so you get control not just one thing, but multiple at the same time.
Con Awkward looking design
The device isn't centered with the wall plug, making it a bit of an eyesore. It sticks out the right side of the wall socket.
Con App leaves some to be desired
The app can't control any other HomeKit enabled devices, and lacks polish. It can track weather, but temperatures can't be measured in Celsius (which isn't an issue for Americans, but is for the rest of the world). Overall, it can be confusing trying to find the setting you're looking for.
Con iOS only
This can be a real deal-breaker if your significant other or other inhabitants of your house have Android products.
Con HomeKit-only
While many other smart switches have support for IFTTT's customizations or adaptability with WeMo's large product range, the ConnectSense Smart Outlet is only compatible with Apple's HomeKit which could limit compatibility with other brands if you choose to get more smart devices in your house down the road.
Con No energy usage monitoring
While this feature is supposedly built into the hardware, the software isn't yet available to take advantage of this feature which is on nearly every other smart outlet.
Con Unreliable connection
The smart outlet will disconnect from the Wi-Fi every 1-3 days. While not a deal-breaker, this is certainly at least a mild inconvenience.
The interface of the app is more cluttered than it needs to be, which makes accessing the important functions and settings difficult.

A probe painlessly attached to your finger monitors oxygen levels and a small wire attached to your upper lip monitors airflow from your nose and mouth. All the electrodes plug into a small junction box, which you will wear around your neck to allow you additional mobility. A cable attaches to the bottom of the junction box and connects to the sleep system computer. The technologist will monitor you throughout your study from another room and will be able to communicate with you. Once awakened, the technologist will easily disconnect you from the equipment.
· Polysomnogram with CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure):
This is the same procedure and hook-up as a polysomnogram except you also will be wearing a CPAP mask. The mask fits over your nose and/or mouth and blows a small stream of pressurized air, which will keep your airway open while you sleep. The technologist will monitor you and adjust the pressure until the optimal pressure is obtained. If you are suffering from a cold or allergies, please call St. Mary's Sleep Disorders Centers at 706.389.3200 to see if you need to reschedule your test.
Will I be given a drug to help me sleep?:
No. St. Mary's Sleep Disorders Centers do not administer any type of medication. If you typically take sleep medication to help you sleep, you may bring it with you and use it the night of your study if you have trouble falling asleep. Also, please avoid caffeine, nicotine and alcohol after 12 noon on the day of your test.
*IMPORTANT! Do not stop any of your medications without first consulting your physician. Sleep disorders centers personnel cannot give any medications.

In 2005, US president George W Bush described Georgia as a "beacon of liberty" during a visit to its capital Tbilisi. He informed an enthusiastic crowd: "As you build freedom in this country, you must know that the seeds of liberty you are planting in Georgian soil are flowering across the globe."[13] In the annual address to the parliament in 2006 Saakashvili also told Georgians:
"[Georgia has become] a country … whose revolution was followed by other revolutions. Flags of the Georgian revolution were raised in Kiev, Beirut and Kyrgyzstan. They are being raised today in Belarus and many other countries … The Georgian flag and freedom have become identical notions."[14]
At the time, it appeared that a wave of "electoral revolutions" was sweeping aside corrupt or semi-authoritarian regimes in former communist countries: events in Bulgaria in 1996, Slovakia in 1998, Croatia in 2000, Serbia in 2000 and now Georgia in 2003 all suggested a pattern of "velvet" (i.e., non-violent) revolutions.[15] In April 2008 in Bucharest, Mikheil Saakashvili asserted that Georgia had already become a global model by demonstrating that: "No country is unfit for democracy. No people is unfit for dramatic development. And there is no cultural relativism when it comes to freedom."[16]
To re-brand Georgia as a global model after the Rose Revolution was, by any measure, remarkably ambitious. A few years before, Georgia had been regarded as one of the most corrupt countries on earth. At that time, USAID staff informally referred to Georgia, one of the biggest per capita recipients of US aid in the world, as "white Africa."[17] In 2001, following a visit to the country, Caucasus expert Charles King had concluded that "in a region of only minimally successful countries, however, the Georgian case is particularly dire … [I]t is worth asking whether a state called

OTTAWA, November 5th, 2013 – Many minor and junior league hockey players are on their local ice this season, mimicking the moves of their favourite hockey heroes. Along with their slight-of-hand goals comes the occasional slip on the rink or bash against the boards.
It is precisely these minor bumps that can cause harm to the brains of young hockey players, says Paul Van Donkelaar, a CFI-funded motor neuroscientist and leader of the Integrative Sports Concussion Research Group at the University of British Columbia Okanagan Campus. "The act of playing hockey for a season is enough to cause changes in a young person's brain," says Van Donkelaar. "We're seeing neuropsychological disruption to brain function after only five months which is not good for these young players."
Van Donkelaar says concussions are a "neuropathological insult to the brain" which occurs after a direct impact to the head or a hit to another part of the body that then ricochets through the brain. "The tissue of the brain has been damaged or disrupted in its ability to perform after a concussion," says Van Donkelaar. "You'll see symptoms such as headaches, dizziness and nausea that are related to injured neurons not being able to perform the way they normally would."
In his research lab, Van Donkelaar scans hockey players in their early to late teens using tools that allow him to visualize, among other things, blood flow in the brain following a concussion. The data he and his team glean from their battery of tests allow them to determine the effect of a concussion on brain matter, motor skills and behaviour.
The current sideline and clinical tests tend to be "quick and dirty" according to Van Donkelaar. The diagnostic techniques usually involve quizzes that test short-term memory, the results of which give coaches and sports physicians a rough estimate of the severity of a hit. The more confused or slow to respond, the greater the odds a player's brain has been damaged. In most cases, says Van Donkelaar, many athletes are cleared to return to the hockey rink, football field or soccer pitch in a matter of minutes, hours or days.
However, the results of one of Van Donkelaar's most recent studies suggests a young hockey player's neurological ability and motor skills remain compromised for up to two months after a rough and tumble event on the ice. His test is modelled along the lines of a video game, much like Space Invaders, where participants shoot a target in different corners of a computer screen using buttons aligned with the upper or lower part of the screen. The challenge is whether they can successfully shoot targets in advanced levels when their joystick controls are rendered topsy-turvy — up shoots down and down shoots up. The degree of a participant's delayed response gives Van Donkelaar a far more accurate sense of how long a concussion may last.
Van Donkelaar is interested in working with industry partners to refine his tests for sideline use, possibly in the form of a tablet app that could quickly diagnose the severity of a concussion of a young player.
In the meantime, he says parents and coaches are far more aware of the risks of concussions today than they ever have been before and often take the appropriate steps to protect their young players. The challenge many of them face, says Van Donkelaar, is making sense of the fire hose of information that has been published in scientific literature and mainstream media over the past few years. He suggests using online resources like thinkfirst.ca which filters the information to give parents, coaches and health professionals everything they really need to know about concussions. But he also recommends those putting their kids on the ice trust their guts. "Be cautious and get as informed and educated as you can," says Van Donkelaar. "If it doesn't feel right or if your child gets injured, pull them out and find another sport."

Live in Japan? You Can Order A Nissan From Amazon
When it comes to relationships between car companies and online retailers, Amazon and Nissan are thick as thieves. Together the companies have run promotions that featured Nissan Versa Notes being delivered in giant Amazon boxes and package lockers. Now, Japanese customers with Amazon Prime will be able to order the Nissan Note e-Power for a test drive and get it in front of their house in about an hour.
Ready to Move: Learn about the difference between all-wheel drive and four-wheel drive
The Nissan Note e-Power is a hatchback hybrid that has a battery charged solely from its three-cylinder engine, not from a plug. This might sound odd for American EV drivers, but according to AutoBlog, the car was designed for Japanese driving habits and city plans. As long as it makes sense to its customers, that's all that matters.
Japanese drivers that are interested in the Nissan Note e-Power and live in select areas of Yokohama and Kawasaki can download the Amazon Prime Now App. From there, CarThrottle reports that you choose a time for a 30-minute test drive, and within the hour (or at the time scheduled) a vehicle will pull up to your abode to take you for a ride.
Can't Do It All With Amazon: Check out why service at a dealership is important
While Amazon is building up its automotive presence on its United States site, it seems unlikely that a similar system will succeed in the US. For one, there are many rules in the states about the sale of cars and dealerships that it would probably be difficult for Amazon to clear all of those hurdles anytime soon (think of how Tesla struggled to sell cars without dealers). On the other hand, the web retailer would need to build up a lot of infrastructure to be able to handle an automotive inventory. We shall see if this continues to be a gimmick or if it leads to something more.

In Which the Writer is Netless
I'm sitting on the porch to write this. It's a lovely morning, just a touch of cool, not enough to make me want a sweater, just a beautiful late-summer morning promising a warm day later. So why am I on the porch, not at my desk? Welll…. and why didn't I write this last night, which I had every intention of doing on my way home from work? Well…
As a writer, we're familiar with the idea that we need to throw difficulties at our characters. As writers, we're all too familiar with finding the time to write – well, most of us are. I've had challenges for my time since the very beginning, children, work, school, and work again. Even this, I'm writing in the middle of a family discussion of how the day's schedule is going to flow. The family is used to my abstraction, fortunately.
Sometimes, though, if you have too much going on, you can't even. Like last night. I got home to be bombarded with 'the internet is out!' From all sides. The First Reader, who needed to send an important email for a work thing, took priority, but I'm well aware that the kids need their 'net like they need, um, I dunno, maybe they could go on a diet. Anyway, to make a long story short – because geeze, guys, this could easily turn into a novel – we sort of have internet this morning. And by sort of, I mean that we have WiFi, but the wired computers have no 'net. It's baffling. I spent an hour on the phone with my inestimable brother-in-law who was being very generous with his free IT expertise, and we determined that I'm a ditz when it comes to setting up routers – I thought I'd changed the name and password, but it turns out that I had for the WiFi, but not the router itself, and that was still on admin admin. Yeah, I know. Twenty lashes with a wet noodle. I urge you all to learn from my failings and check your router – log into http://youripaddresshere and update firmware, change names, and so forth. Do it while you have internet!
Unfortunately, even after the three-ring circus on fire that was my workaround for getting the firmware update file onto my computer – let me tell you, this is the last time I'm buying an Apple product. We could download the file from the manufacturers website, but then could not transfer the file from the iPhone or my iPad via usb cable. The only thing I could access in the internal storage drive was the photos file, and I couldn't put the zip file into that. So it wasn't until I dug out my old Android tablet that I was able to put the file onto the computer… and then it wouldn't upload to the router. We kept getting a sad piece of paper icon and the message that the connection had been reset. At that point I apologized to my BIL, let him get off the phone, and…
Well, I didn't fix it. I still have no idea why the WiFi works, but the Ethernet cables do not. I tried another router (our internet providers sent us one, but I was using mine, because it was a stronger signal) and that didn't get it done, either. Look, I could understand one computer having a problem? But this is four? And I'm totally and completely frustrated and today, of all days, is not the day I'm going to spend another few hours on the phone with my internet provider, especially after the 'call was lost' late last night on my final attempt to have them reset the modem.
Pant, pant. Sometimes you have to get it all out, and then refocus on the next thing. I have a bad tendency to hyper focus on an issue until it's resolved. Fantastic if I can do that, for getting something done. Not so great if I need to be spreading my efforts out into other equally important matters. I've learned in writing to break away from something I'm blocked on, and work on another story. Sometimes this actually helps break up the block. Today? I think taking the Junior Mad Scientist to the Fall Gardening class (it's part of her Ecology class this semester. Homeschooling is fun) and then both girls to the local ComicCon won't help the internet one bit. The router is… wonky. I may have to replace it. But it will help my sense of balance immensely to take the First Reader when I drop the kids at the con, and spend the afternoon with camera in hand, exploring Cincinnati and chatting with my beloved.
Perhaps we'll even plot a story or three.

Being responsible for IT at multiple offices I keep a couple of these in my desk drawer. Because cabled networking is an imperative, but if you've ever had a 48 port switch die in the middle of a business day, you are literally stuck in a crack.

There is something about computers.
If the automobile had caused as much frustration, with the incidents of sporadic service (often unexplained), accompanied by lengthy attempts to get relief through the help lines, would they have become such personal necessities?September 15, 2018
So, you decide to hop into your flivver and go to the store:
Turn on fuel tap.
Use the hand pump to pump some air pressure into the fuel tank.
Open the taps on the cylinder head and give each cylinder a squirt of fuel – not too much, not too little. Close taps.
Adjust the fuel/air mixture using the lever and slip ring on the steering wheel. (you're driving a *modern* car, not one of those oldsters with a tiller!)
Adjust the spark the same way. You want the spark to be just after Top Dead Center.
Give any exposed valve gear a shot of oil with the oil can.
Turn the ignition swith to "on".
Find the crank handle, insert the end into the ratchet on the front of the crankshaft, and pull up briskly. Keep doing it until the engine starts or you collapse. Note: incorrect cranking technique or improper spark setting can cause the engine to kick back forcefully, often resulting in a broken arm, or a compound fracture. Anaesthesia isn't in general use yet and antibiotics haven't been invented.
Once the engine is running, go back to the steering wheel and adjust the spark and mixture controls to keep it running. If you're too late, I hope you haven't fouled the plugs, or you'll have to get the toolkit out.
You'll have to fiddle with the spark and fuel mixture often, as well as keeping pressure pumped up in the fuel tank.
If these antics sound bizarre… starting a light aircraft engine wasn't a whole lot different, half a century and more after cars had electric starters, automatic chokes, and fancy carburetors that adjusted their own mixture with fluidic feedback systems…September 15, 2018

The Swedish-designed 40mm Bofors AA Gun had a brilliant design. Only problem was, assembly took something like 130 hours and something like 50% of the pieces were labeled "File to fit during assembly".
Once the US Navy got hold of the design in 1940 or so, they spent 6 months redrawing the blueprints and building the jigs and gauges.
US Built Bofors guns take around 12-20 hours to assemble, and NONE of the parts have to be modified.September 16, 2018

I know not everyone checks this board and just checks the sign up board so I think I'm going to go ahead and post this next week. Button swaps have always been popular in the past so I think we'll have plenty of people sign up.
I'm going out of town this weekend but will get it organized by the end of the week.

Planning on using ACT! 2007, not installed yet.
Planning to import MS Access customer data (via .dbf export and then import) into ACT! and later export the data back to MS Access (via .xls export and then import), however when records are edited or added, does ACT! automatically timestamp the record, so on the changed/new record can be exported?
ACT! has Created and Edited fields that you can lookup. If you can modify the Access application is can directly read the ACT! tables via OLEDB - might be easier than exporting from ACT!. See: http://blog.glcomputing.com.au/2009/07/connecting-to-act-by-sage-data.html
Just a question will you want to import Access data for records already in ACT! and update them? If so, you can't do this via a normal import. You need to either use the ACT! SDK or an addon like itImport as I mention is the post above
If you need data to go both ways, having Access read ACT! via OLEDB and using itImport to bring the Access data directly to ACT! might be an option for you
Basically this will be a one time use of ACT!.
The data will be imported from Access into a empty ACT! Database, modified while at a conference on a laptop, then later after the conference, the data will be exported back to Access for use in a web based application. The reason for this is that there is no guarantee of internet access at the conference.
Then bring them to ACT! via Export from Access to CSV and import to ACT!
Then have Access read them via OLEDB to query the records you want and bring the data back

It is a curious fact that in the original type Neomenia the radula is entirely absent, as it likewise is in several genera of Proneomeniidae.
From this pass off two pairs of cords, the pleural and pedal, in Proneomenia separate from their origin, in Neomenia united at first and diverging at a pleural ganglion.
There is a heart in the pericardium consisting of a median ventricle attached, except in Neomenia, to the dorsal wall of the pericardium, and in Neomenia a pair of auricular ducts returning blood from the gills to the ventricle.
