NAMM 2014: Ahead of the Winter NAMM show, Bogner Amps has posted teaser pictures of three new pedals on its Facebook page.
Among the new gear on show from the firm will be a new compressor pedal, dubbed the Lyndhurst, the Guitar Amp D.I. (which offers a standard input and output, plus thru I and II routing options and a balanced XLR output - alongside pad, bright and ground lift controls) and the Zero pedal, which is described on the firm's Facebook as a dual buffer, boost and amp splitter pedal.
The new stompboxes, in particular the Lyndhurst (which shares the UK place-name theme), are clearly intended to join the previously announced Harlow, Wessex, Oxford and Burnley "transformer" range that Bogner debuted at Musikmesse 2013.
Those initial stompboxes boasted audio transformers similar to those found in "legendary British mixing consoles of the 1960s". Since then it's emerged that the current pedal's transformers are in fact designed in conjunction with (legendary analogue desk-maker) Rupert Neve and later versions of the pedals, including this new batch, seem to have been branded as such.
Feel free to start salivating. In the meantime, keep an eye on our NAMM news page throughout the show for more updates.

Feast Day - May 9
The Holy Prophet Isaiah lived 700 years before the birth of Christ, and was of royal lineage. Isaiah's father Amos raised his son in the fear of God and in the law of the Lord. Having attained the age of maturity, the Prophet Isaiah entered into marriage with a pious prophetess (Is 8:3) and had a son Jashub (Is 8:18).
St Isaiah was called to prophetic service during the reign of Oziah [Uzziah], king of Judea, and he prophesied for 60 years during the reign of kings Joatham, Achaz [Ahaz], Hezekiah and Manasseh. The start of his service was marked by the following vision: he beheld the Lord God, sitting in a majestic heavenly temple upon a high throne. Six-winged Seraphim encircled Him. With two wings they covered their faces, and with two wings they covered their feet, and with two wings they flew about crying out one to another, "Holy, Holy, Holy Lord Sabaoth, heaven and earth are filled with His glory!" The pillars of the heavenly temple shook from their shouts, and in the temple arose the smoke of incense.
The prophet cried out in terror, "Oh, an accursed man am I, granted to behold the Lord Sabaoth, and having impure lips and living amidst an impure people!" Then was sent him one of the Seraphim, having in hand a red-hot coal, which he took with tongs from the altar of the Lord. He touched it to the mouth of the Prophet Isaiah and said, "Lo, this has touched thy lips, and will take away with thine iniquities, and will cleanse thy sins." After this Isaiah heard the voice of the Lord, directed towards him, "Whom shall I send, and who will go to this people?" Isaiah answered, "Here am I, send me" (Is 6:1 ff). And the Lord sent him to the Jews to exhort them to turn from the ways of impiety and idol worship, and to offer repentance.
To those that repent and turn to the true God, the Lord promised mercy and forgiveness, but punishment and the judgment of God are appointed for the unrepentant. Then Isaiah asked the Lord, how long would the falling away of the Jewish nation from God continue. The Lord answered, "Until the cities be deserted, by reason of there being no people, and the land shall be made desolate. Just as when a tree be felled and from the stump come forth new shoots, so also from the destruction of the nation a holy remnant will remain, from which will emerge a new tribe."
Isaiah left behind him a book of prophecy in which he denounces the Jews for their unfaithfulness to the God of their Fathers. He predicted the captivity of the Jews and their return from captivity during the time of the emperor Cyrus, the destruction and renewal of Jerusalem and of the Temple. Together with this he predicts the historical fate also of the other nations bordering the Jews. But what is most important of all for us, the Prophet Isaiah with particular clarity and detail prophesies about the coming of the Messiah, Christ the Savior. The prophet names the Messiah as God and Man, teacher of all the nations, founder of the Kingdom of peace and love.
The prophet foretells the birth of the Messiah from a Virgin, and with particular clarity he describes the Suffering of the Messiah for the sins of the world. He foresees His Resurrection and the universal spreading of His Church. By his clear foretelling of Christ the Savior, the Prophet Isaiah deserves to be called an Old Testament Evangelist. To him belong the words, "He beareth our sins and is smitten for us.... He was wounded for our sins and tortured for our transgressions. The chastisement of our world was upon Him, and by His wounds we were healed...." (Is 53:4-5. Vide Isaiah: 7:14, 11:1, 9:6, 53:4, 60:13, etc.).
The holy Prophet Isaiah had also a gift of wonderworking. And so, when during the time of a siege of Jerusalem by enemies the besieged had become exhausted with thirst, he by his prayer drew out from beneath Mount Sion a spring of water, which was called Siloam, i.e. "sent from God." It was to this spring afterwards that the Savior sent the man blind from birth to wash, and He restored his sight. By the prayer of the Prophet Isaiah, the Lord prolonged the life of Hezekiah for 15 years.
The Prophet Isaiah died a martyr's death. By order of the Jewish king Manasseh he was sawn through by a wood-saw. The prophet was buried not far from the Pool of Siloam. The relics of the holy Prophet Isaiah were afterwards transferred by the emperor Theodosius the Younger to Constantinople and installed in the church of St Laurence at Blachernae. At the present time part of the head of the Prophet Isaiah is preserved at Athos in the Hilandar monastery.
For the times and the events which occurred during the life of the Prophet Isaiah, see the 4th Book of Kings [alt. 2 Kings] (Ch 16, 17, 19, 20, 23, etc.), and likewise 2 Chr:26-32).

This is the VOA Special English Health Report.
Twenty years ago this week, President George H. W. Bush signed a civil rights law that Americans call the ADA.
20年前的这个星期,老布什总统签署了一项民事权利法,美国人称之为《美国残疾人法》(Americans with Disabilities Act,简称ADA)。
GEORGE H. W. BUSH: "I now lift this pen to sign this Americans with [Disabilities] Act and say let the shameful wall of exclusion finally come tumbling down."
Congress passed the law to bar discrimination against people with physical or mental disabilities. The ADA governs employers, transportation systems and public places, including hotels and other businesses.
In New York, the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities co-hosted a celebration Monday to mark the anniversary.
Hip-hop artist Rick Fire says conditions are far better than they were twenty years ago. But he says being in a wheelchair is still often a problem in his neighborhood in the Bronx area of the city.
Hip-hop艺术家Rick Fire说,当前状况比他们在20年前遭遇的好多了。但他表示,在本市布朗克斯区他居住的街区,坐在轮椅上还时会经常遇到麻烦。
RICK FIRE: "There's a lot of hills and there's a lot of places where I can't go. There's still buildings where I can't go because they've got steps. But overall, it's good. Thanks to the ADA, we are being more accepted, like having a disability. People still look at you weird, but it's like, 'All right, he's disabled now, but it's kind of OK now.'"
Matthew Sapolin is commissioner of the Mayor's Office for People with Disabilities, and he is blind. His job is to try to improve life for disabled New Yorkers.
Matthew Sapolin是市残疾人办公室专员,他是盲人。他的工作是努力改善纽约残疾人生活。
MATTHEW SAPOLIN: "If we are going to build something -- how we build it, how we construct it, so that it would be accessible to people of all types of disabilities. Whether we talk about a ramp or whether we talk about a doorway or a handrail, things like Braille on elevators and signage and things like that."
Bobbi Wailes developed polio before a vaccine became available in the nineteen fifties. She was twelve years old. Schools then were not designed for wheelchairs. She had to be tutored at home three days a week.
Bobbi Wailes在19世纪50年代疫苗开发出来之前患上了小儿麻痹症。当她12岁时,学校没有设计成轮椅适用。她每周有3天不得不在家里接受辅导。
After high school, she got a job in one of the few workplaces with wheelchair-accessible bathrooms. She worked at a hospital for thirty years, mostly as an administrator.
Bobbi Wailes also fought for passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Bobbi Wailes还为美国残疾人法案的通过做出了贡献。
BOBBI WAILES: "Let me tell you something, disability doesn't care if you're young, old, rich, poor, black, white, green or purple. Disability will always be here, unfortunately. So it behooves all of us to make it a world that everybody can live in."
Even with the ADA, a lot of work remains to reach the goal of equality for the disabled -- and not just in America.
Marca Bristo heads a group called the United States International Council on Disabilities. She was paralyzed at the age of twenty-three. She broke her neck diving into a lake.
马卡·布里斯托(Marca Bristo)是美国国际残疾人理事会负责人。她23岁时,在湖中跳水伤了脖子而瘫痪。
MARCA BRISTO: "People with disabilities are living in the streets in some countries. It's deemed you have been possessed by the devil, or put out on the street, a shame to your family and really left to live very subhuman lives."

The State Security compound in the Cairo suburb of Nasr City was a fortress of fear. Like the offices of the dreaded domestic-intelligence service across Egypt, it radiated menace.
"This was a place where just driving or walking by it gave me the creeps," says Hossam Hamalawy, an activist who was twice detained by State Security (although not at that facility).
On Saturday night, Hamalawy and many others entered the facility—in a way they never expected. "I couldn't believe it," he says. "I was entering it not as a detainee, not as someone who's blindfolded." Instead, he was part of a triumphant, storming crowd, come to hold accountable those they had long feared.
One of the demands of the protesters in Tahrir Square has been the abolition of Egypt's State Security Investigations Service, which has had free license to spy, kidnap, and torture. Tasked mainly with maintaining the regime in power, it employed at least 100,000 officers and unknown legions of informants.
So far, the authorities here have balked, arguing that the service needs to be reformed and restructured, but remains necessary. This past weekend, Egyptians lost their patience and simply started dismantling it themselves. After reports of documents being burned and moved out by the truckload, crowds converged on its offices in Alexandria, Cairo, and the southern city of Aswan.
Once they broke in, they found hallways knee-deep in shredded paper; empty cells and interrogation rooms; and torture devices. Despite the service's efforts, not all documents had been destroyed. Activists—some of whom found their own or their friends' files—picked up armfuls of papers, carried them home and yesterday started posting them online. (One of the main sites is a Twitter feed and Facebook group called SSLeaks.)
Once they broke into security offices, they found hallways knee-deep in shredded paper; empty cells and interrogation rooms; and torture devices.
Egyptians can now browse through pages and pages of documentation of the daily activities of a secret service that controlled everything from university appointments to the guests on TV talk shows to the winners of the next elections to, allegedly, the drug trade. Created mostly to repress an Islamist insurgency in the 1990s, the service morphed into a shadow state that even other government ministries had to pay extortion money to.
Although it's difficult to verify the authenticity of the documents, the size and timing of the dump and the details it contains suggest that most of them are genuine. A memo from February 2008 gives directions in chilling legalese to keep detainees long enough for them to heal from beatings and torture: "It's been noticed recently that some of the elements transferred to the Special Operations Group from the administrations and branches of the [State Security] apparatus have injuries... a matter that leads us to request that you examine their state and extend their detention until they are on the way to recovery. Please pay careful attention to the cases that will be transferred to the Special Operations Group and ensure their healthy condition and the absence of any injuries."
The documents also show the security services were drinking their own Kool-Aid. Another undated but apparently recent memo presenting an "analysis of the state of chaos that the country has witnessed recently" states that the protests against former President Hosni Mubarak were the work of "the United States, the European Union, and the Zionist entity," which created a "plan aiming at tearing the Arab and Muslim world," with the goal of "making the Arab world lose its national, Islamic identity and forcing the Arab people to normalize with Israel."
The documents leaked so far also show the security services wire-tapping opposition figures, orchestrating media campaigns, and managing their vast network of informers.
Many documents also show the security services "arranging" elections—instructing the Muslim Brotherhood not to run in certain districts; throwing their support behind members of the president's ruling party, and making sure no real election-monitoring takes place.
The documents, much like the interiors of the sprawling State Security complexes, now viewable on YouTube—bland reception rooms full of chandeliers and three-star-hotel furniture; endless hallways; archives full of neatly labeled files—are a study in the banality of evil. They reveal a degree of daily interference in the country's affairs that is staggering in its minuteness and pettiness.
After the Muslim Brotherhood won 88 seats in parliament in 2005, a document from State Security instructs ministries not to collaborate with the new parliamentarians and to make sure they are unable to improve health, education, and housing services in their districts. In August 2010, a man in the province of Baheira tried to open a branch office of Mohamed ElBaradei's National Coalition for Change. State Security made a list of his properties and instructed the tax authorities to go after him.
Today, the once-all-powerful service is on the run. "They must be totally demoralized. I'm sure their operations have been largely disrupted," says Hamalawy. But like many Egyptians, he is still concerned about the damage they could do. "We're talking about a crime syndicate," he says. "These guys are armed, they have the contacts with criminals… once they feel totally cornered they will start lashing out or fighting back." Many fear the security services, with their back against the wall, will orchestrate terrorist attacks, sectarian violence, or a crime wave—anything to distract and frighten the public.
That's why it's important to move to swift and comprehensive prosecution, argues Hamalawy. "We go after everybody, from the informers all the way up to the directors... They definitely need to be put on trial."
So far, the raids on State Security offices haven't led to the freeing of detainees—to the despair of relatives who rushed to the scene, hoping to find them. There may be thousands of individuals still in the hands of the service, some of whom have been "missing" for years. Human-rights groups have estimated that the service held between 8,000 and 15,000 prisoners in the last decade (a blurry document from the leaked files, dated 2003, seems to confirm this, putting the number of detainees at 9,412).
It's also likely that the documents that have been found so far are the least incriminating. State Security has been cleaning shop for a while. An order dated January 26 (a day after protests broke out) instructs all "branch offices" to destroy their "secret archives" (by shredding rather than burning, presumably so as to attract less attention) and to "limit their secret libraries to the fundamentals for the future, without maintaining pictures."
The documents made public do not discuss the rendition program that Egypt operated for the United States; there is no documentation of secret detention facilities, no transcripts of interrogations, no information about how informers were bribed or blackmailed into collaborating. These documents may have been destroyed already; or they may be in secret, secure locations.
Wherever they are, Egyptians are looking for them.

The specialty about interfaces is that you can have multiple interfaces be implemented by a single class. In standard Java inheritance you are only allowed to inherit from one super class (a fancy way of saying class you're inheriting stuff from). However, there are times you need to be able to treat that same object using two or more different perspectives, so interfaces were introduced to keep multiple inheritance out of Java. Other than that, I don't think there's any difference.
public class A {} public class B {} // this is an example of multiple inheritance. This is illegal in Java public class C extends A,B {} public interface D {} public interface E {} // this has a similar effect to what's being done in class C, but is allowed in java. public class F implements D,E {} // this is also allowed in Java public class G extends A, implements D,E
As far as I know, Java is the only language to have this strange interface deal (C++ allows multiple inheritance). However, I do only know Java and C++, so it's not really a comprehensive list at all

Interfaces are important in many ways, from defining behavior across classes to facilitating maintenance, code reuse, and rearrangements in large projects. The reasoning why could probably fill up a book (and probably has), but suffice it to say the single inheritance rule in java that helloworld described limits a java programmer to write classes which inherit only from a single parent class. Interfaces allow one to write a behavior between classes that cannot be achieved by inheritance.
Suppose you have a class Animal, and your program has utilized this base class to create all sorts of Animals using inheritance - for example Human, Lion, Bear, Hawk, Bat, Bird, etc...How can you easily specify behaviors - such as making a Bat and Bird fly; specifying that Lion, Bear, and Hawk are predators; specify which animals are nocturnal - if it cannot be accomplished by inheritance? Interfaces.
Other more realistic examples can be found throughout the java API. This includes things like listener/callback type interfaces (if you are familiar with other languages which use function pointers). A real world example could be designing a program with the intention of keeping the user interface and algorithms separated - the connection between the two is provided via a interfaces. This design could allow the algorithms to be easier to adapt for different GUI's or programs - and vice versa - rather than being locked into the dependency of a certain class.

Thank you so much for giving this useful information. This really helps me
I want more information regarding interfaces, help me
An interesting point about interfaces, their declaration and implementation gets inherited along with the super class.
public class Cat implements Predator {} public class Lion extends Cat // by default, Lion also gets the interface Predator {}
What else would you like to know about interfaces?
Useful information. I want to know, "when we need an interface actually in our application?"
Creating your own interfaces is very useful in designing custom events, and if you have some common property that you want to force certain types of objects to have before they are allowed to be used by a method.
The best way to learn about how to use interfaces is to learn more about polymorphism and experimenting with interfaces /inheritance yourself. Look through the Java API to see if you can see why they chose to use an interface at a particular time and while other times they chose to use an actual class (abstract or not).
The deciding factors usually boils down to if you need that class/interface to have a super method that all inheriting objects need to have, but the implementation is the same (a class is a better choice here), if you need a non-static constant field in the super class (a class is a better choice here), or if you need that object to behave in multiple ways (an interface is a better choice here). There are tons of things to take into consideration, and a lot of times it doesn't matter which implementation you choose. In the words of one of my professors, "There is no one right answer, but there are a lot of wrong answers." All you need to do is find one that works, hopefully better than the bare minimum.
Using interfaces you can control a set of classes only if these classes implement the corresponding interfaces.And your method can take a parameter of interface type,then the method will be able to receive kinds of variables only if they implement the interface.Thanks to interface,you can design some framwork, in the super framwork,the template will be fexed.All you need to do is implementing the concrete method of the interface.
The memebers of the interface are public static final by default.And the member methods are public. Even thouth you don't explicitly qualified them as public. So if your interface is defined as follow:
then it means://interface int count=0; String process();
Notice that you'd not implement the interface like this://interface public static final count=0; public String process();
Because you are reducing the accessibility of the method.If this,the method become package access which is not allowable.//implementation String process(){ // concrete operations}

Using interface you can declare method in another interface without declaring new interface. But make sure that you have implement write interface otherwise it will give you error message. Using interface you can declare abstract methods in an abstract base class, because interface only gives description of method when you use this method in your program.

Silence is music, stillness is motion
Growing cathedrals by grains of devotion.

Types of vacuum pumps
A vacuum pump is a device that draws gas molecules from a sealed volume and maintains a partial vacuum. Its job is to create a vacuum in a volume, usually one of several. There are several types of vacuum pumps, such as root pumps, diaphragm pumps, rotary piston pumps, and self-priming centrifugal pumps.
The diaphragm pump is a dry positive displacement vacuum pump
Diaphragm pumps are a versatile type of vacuum pump. They can be installed in a variety of scenarios including container emptying, positive suction, and simultaneous fluid mixing. Their performance depends on the stiffness and durability of the diaphragm, which in turn depends on the material.
They have good performance when running in dry mode. Diaphragm pumps work very similarly to the human heart, which is why they are often used to create artificial hearts. In addition, the diaphragm pump is self-priming and has high efficiency. They are also capable of handling the most viscous liquids and are used in almost all industries.
However, this type of pump has several disadvantages. One of them is that they are difficult to restart after a power outage. Another disadvantage is that they can generate a lot of heat. Fortunately, this heat is carried away by airflow. However, this heat builds up in the multistage pump. If this happens, the diaphragm or motor may be damaged. Diaphragm pumps operating in two or more stages should be fitted with solenoid valves to maintain vacuum stability.
Diaphragm pumps are a good choice for drying processes where hygiene is important. These pumps have check valves and rubber or Teflon diaphragms. Diaphragm pumps are also ideal for high viscosity applications where shear sensitivity is important.
Roots pumps are dry method centrifugal pumps
Roots pumps use a vane rotor pump with two counter-rotating vanes that move in opposite directions to move the gas. They are often the first choice for high-throughput process applications. Depending on the size and number of blades, they can withstand up to 10 Torr.
Centrifugal pumps have several advantages, including the ability to handle corrosive fluids and high temperatures. However, when choosing a pump, it is essential to choose a reputable manufacturer. These companies will be able to advise you on the best pump design for your needs and provide excellent after-sales support. Roots pumps can be used in a wide range of industrial applications including chemical, food, and biotechnology.
The Roots pump is a dry centrifugal pump whose geometry enables it to achieve high compression ratios. The screw rotors are synchronized by a set of timing gears that allow gas to pass in both directions and create a compressed state in the chamber. The pre-compressed gas is discharged through a pressure connection and cooled with water. Some pumps are also able to accept additional cooling gas, but this should be done with caution.
The size of the impeller plays an important role in determining the pump head. The impeller diameter determines how high the pump can lift the liquid. Impeller speed also affects the head. Since the head is proportional to the specific gravity of the liquid, the available suction pressure will be proportional to the density of the liquid. The density of water is about 1.2 kg/m3, and the suction pressure of the centrifugal pump is not enough to lift the water.
The rotary vane pump is a self-priming centrifugal pump
A rotary vane pump is a centrifugal pump with a circular pump head and a cycloid cam that supports the rotor. The rotor is close to the cam wall, and two side plates seal the rotor. Vanes in vane pumps are installed in these cavities, and the rotor rotates at high speed, pushing fluid in and out of the pump. The pump offers several advantages, including a reversible design and the ability to handle a wide variety of clean fluids.
Agknx Pumps manufactures a wide range of vane pumps that combine high performance, low cost, and easy maintenance. These pumps handle medium to high viscosity liquids up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit and 200,000 SSU.
The suction side of the rotary vane pump has a discharge port, and the valve prevents the backflow of the discharge air. When the maximum pressure is reached, the outlet valve closes to prevent the backflow of exhaust gas. The mechanical separation step separates the oil from the gas in the pump circuit and returns the remaining oil particles to the sump. The float valve then reintroduces these oil particles into the oil circuit of the pump. The gas produced is almost oil-free and can be blown out of a pipe or hose.
Rotary vane pumps are self-priming positive displacement pumps commonly used in hydraulic, aeration, and vacuum systems. Unlike gear pumps, rotary vane pumps can maintain high-pressure levels while using relatively low suction pressures. The pump is also very effective when pumping viscous or high-viscosity liquids.
Rotary piston pumps are dry method positive displacement pumps
Rotary piston pumps are dry positive displacement pumps designed to deliver high-viscosity fluids. They are capable of pumping a variety of liquids and can run dry without damaging the liquid. Rotary piston pumps are available in a variety of designs. Some are single shafts, some are two shafts and four bearings.
Positive displacement pumps operate slower than centrifugal pumps. This feature makes the positive displacement pump more sensitive to wear. Piston and plunger reciprocating pumps are particularly prone to wear. For more demanding applications, progressive cavity, diaphragm or lobe pumps may be a better choice.
Positive displacement pumps are typically used to pump high-viscosity fluids. This is because the pump relies on a mechanical seal between the rotating elements and the pump casing. As a result, when fluids have low viscosity, their performance is limited. Additionally, low viscosity fluids can cause valve slippage.
These pumps have a piston/plunger arrangement using stainless steel rotors. Piston/piston pumps have two cavities on the suction side. The fluid then flows from one chamber to the other through a helical motion. This results in very low shear and pulsation rates. The pump is usually installed in a cylindrical housing.
Rotary vane pump corrosion resistance
Rotary vane vacuum pumps are designed for use in a variety of industries. They feature plasma-treated corrosion-resistant parts and anti-suck-back valves to help reduce the number of corrosive vapors entering the pump. These pumps are commonly used in freeze dryers, vacuum ovens, and degassing processes. The high flow rates they provide in their working vacuum allow them to speed up processes and reduce the time it takes to run them. Plus, they have energy-efficient motors and silent volume. <br/While rotary vane vacuum pumps are relatively corrosion resistant, they should not be used for aggressive chemicals. For these chemicals, the most suitable pump is the chemical mixing pump, which combines two types of pumps to improve corrosion resistance. If the application requires a more powerful pump, a progressive cavity pump (eg VACUU*PURE 10C) is suitable.
Oil seals used in rotary vane pumps are important to pump performance. The oil seal prevents corrosion of the aluminum parts of the rotary vane pump and prolongs the service life. Most rotary vane vacuum pumps have a standard set of components, although each component may have different oil seals.
Rotary vane vacuum pumps are the most common type of positive displacement pump. They provide quiet operation and long service life. They are also reliable and inexpensive and can be used in a variety of applications.
Roots pumps are primarily used as a vacuum booster
Root vacuum pumps are mainly used as vacuum boosters in industrial applications. They need a thorough understanding of operating principles and proper maintenance to function properly. This course is an introduction to Roots vacuum pumps, covering topics such as pump principles, multi-stage pumps, temperature effects, gas cooling, and maintenance.
Roots pumps have many advantages, including compact and quiet operation. They do not generate particles and have a long service life. They also don't require oil and have a small footprint. However, Roots pumps have several disadvantages, including relatively high maintenance costs and low pumping speeds near atmospheric pressure.
Root vacuum pumps are often used with rotary vane vacuum pumps. They work on the same principle, the air enters a conveying unit formed by two rolling pistons in the housing. The piston heads are separated from each other, and the air passes through the unit without being reduced until it is discharged. When the air in the next unit reaches a higher absolute pressure, it is expelled from the last unit.
Roots pumps can be classified as sheathed or sealed. Roots pumps with sealed motors are suitable for pumping toxic gases. They have less clearance between the stator and motor rotor and have a sealed tank.

Title: Ashes of Paradise
Author: Valerie Roeseler
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Publisher: Eden Elements Publishing
Publication Date: July 6th, 2018
Hosted by: Lady Amber's PR
For Anora's sixteenth birthday, an unexpected gift comes into her possession. A delicate book whose gilded edges hold the secrets of the past from Enochian history that have shaped her world. Through its pages, Anora discovers why the Griffins fell from Paradise, when relationships between angelic ranks became acceptable, where Guides come into being, and how those expected to be infallible are not without weakness. She uncovers a sinister past that molded a Dark essence, a mistake that was destiny in the making, an angel's rebellion that greatly cost a family, and the beginnings of an epic love that conquered all odds.
*Stories Include:
Fall of the Griffins – Theodora, Cassius, and Beckett's Story
Embodiment of Love and War – Evelyn and Camael's Story
Vindication of Mercy – Alice and Eric's Story
Rapture of Death – Azrael and Lilith's Story
Shadow of Enigma – Cora's Story
Force of Resistance – Becky's Story
Maverick of Mayhem – Jack's Story
Sacrifice of Love – Ivy and Gideon's Story
The Angel of War, who I used to think of as a being you never wanted to meet, shakes his head and offers his hand, "Walk with me?"
My stomach flutters again as my hand slips into his. We walk in silence through the town. The sky roars louder, and I clench Camael's hand tighter. I finally ask, "Why does the sky do that? Is that The Creator trying to communicate with them?"
Camael smiles wide, "It is thunder. Earth is a very different environment. The weather in Paradise is a constant. We do not know of anything but the warmth and Light of The Creator. Here, there is cold, hot, snow, wind, rain… Thunder is a sure precedence of rain." He stops me, and we face each other before he takes my other hand. "It is a sensation to be experienced."
A drop of water falls onto his cheek, and he closes his eyes. He tilts his head up as more water drips across his face from above. I start to feel it and mirror him. The water kisses my skin slow and gentle at first. Before long, it is as if we have been standing beneath a waterfall. I open my eyes and find Camael smiling at me slightly dazed. There's a need for me to close the distance between us. Camael takes a step closer before I can, causing me to stutter, "Cam… I… I am feeling things I should not."
He is so close, I have to look up as he whispers to me, "You are not alone."
"We could not possibly be meant for each other."
He agrees, "Our ranks are not aligned."
"Maybe we should keep our distance from each other."
He hesitates, his focus bouncing between my pleading gaze. "I cannot do that."
For the first time in my existence, I experience something I never expected. The Angel of War's lips touch mine. A surge of energy shoots through my body with no distinct origin. My wings burst from concealment, tearing the dress I was given. Camael pulls me closer. At this moment, I know I am meant to be with him, yet it is frowned upon because of our ranks. He is an Original Archangel. I am just an Archangel. My position in the hierarchy is nowhere near his ilk. I do not belong with him, but it feels so right.
That one kiss is all it takes. Camael and I are inseparable. For months, we search London for Leviathan, getting closer every day. Cam and I share secret glances, sneak out after dark, and I know we are doomed because… I love him.

[Taufeeq's] Grandmother needed to be able to call her family members but due to ailing eyesight and memory this was a difficult task. He decided to help her with this by building a telephone that will auto-dial a number at the push of a button. [Taufeeq] built a case to hang on the wall which houses a hook for the receiver and two auto-dial buttons. The buttons are lighted and loosely based on the LED push buttons we covered in January. Housed in a separate box are a microcontroller and a dual tone multiple frequency IC used to dial the numbers. These are patched into a PCB from a standard telephone.
The result looks great and makes using the phone much easier with the simplified controls. We've included the demonstration video after the break.

Tip: With your search enter the desired travel date, duration and number of travellers as well as whether you want to take any pets. This way you are provided with calculated total prices in the result list making it easier for you to compare.
Which additional services can be booked?
In the property description you will be able to find which are already included in the rental price, which services have to be booked in advance and which additional charges have to be paid on arrival. If these have to be booked in advance then you can enter these with your booking.
Will I incur additional costs if I bring my pet with me?
Please check the price information to see whether additional costs will be incurred for taking a pet along. Further details on taking pets can be found under "Can a pet be taken along?"
Do I have to pay visitor tax?
The community statute at the holiday resort shall govern whether a local visitor's tax is payable. If the provider is aware of this, it shall be indicated in the property presentation. Please note, however, that the amount of the visitor's tax can be altered by the local authorities at any time without prior notice.
Must I provide a deposit and how do I get it back?
Some providers request a deposit as a security against damages potentially caused by guests or for additional charges. Whether a caution has to be provided and what amount that may is stated in the respective property presentation. In most cases the caution is payable in local currency in cash on arrival. In individual cases it is also possible to provide the caution via credit card. Should the caution have already been paid with the invoice then this is transferred to the owner. The owner is always responsible for the reimbursement of the caution. As far as the repayment of the caution is done via bank transfer by the owner then please before departure give them your bank details comprising of IBAN and BIC.
What is the service fee?
True to the motto "you place the booking and pack the suitcases, we'll take care of the rest," the service fee will cover the costs of the service and consulting assistance, the continuous expansion of a quality-assured range, and the operation and the further development of the booking platform:
- We will take care of all aspects of booking with our multilingual customer service, like no other holiday-home mediator does. Whether it's advising, dealing with queries, requests for change, or complaints - the customer service is always available by telephone and e-mail. It regulates the entire booking process - from sending the request to the provider to dispatching the travel documents.
- In the case of payment processing by us, we will take care of the payment to the provider and offers various free payment methods.
- All providers are checked – regardless of whether they are private owners, agencies, or tour operators. Fake offers or dubious owners are therefore excluded from the outset.
- Customer reviews of the accommodation and locations are manually checked by us for plausibility and authenticity, and only then will they be displayed in unaltered form. In total, more than half-a-million home and location reviews have been collected, checked, and put online.
- The IBE5 booking engine has been specially developed by us and is specifically tailored to the mediation of holiday homes and apartments. It is constantly being further developed for optimal user experience.
The service fee is already included in the displayed total price and is due upon conclusion of a booking. It amounts to 3% of the rental or travel price, but will be no more than €39 maximum. The payment of the service fee automatically takes place with the payment of the rental or travel price via the respectively selected method of payment. The service fee does not apply to bookings for which the provider, (and not us), takes over the booking and payment process.
Booking and payment terms
What are the payment terms?
The methods and terms of payment vary - depending on the property, the period between booking and arrival, the country in which the customer is domiciled, and other factors. In principle, no payment fee will be levied by us. However, the respective provider can charge an additional fee for payments made with certain credit cards. Please refer to the information in the property description / in the booking order to see which payment terms apply in specific cases. Detailed information about the payment methods and conditions can also be found in our mediation terms. Please contact our customer service if in doubt or if you have any questions.
How are customer payments secured? Do I get a refund security notice?
The protection of customers' money is a top priority for us. If you opt for accommodation from our range provided by a tour operator, you will receive a risk coverage certificate along with your booking confirmation, or equivalent evidence with which the tour operator documents that he has safeguarded the customers' money against the event of insolvency, in accordance with the statutory provisions. For details regarding this, please refer to the information in the section on payment methods in the booking request.
In addition to tour operators, we also cooperate with holiday-home agencies, holiday-park operators and numerous private owners from all over Europe in order to provide you with as wide a variety of holiday accommodation as possible. Usually, these providers are not legally obliged to formally safeguard customers' money. So that you can go on holiday in a reassured frame of mind, we check all tour operators, local partners and private owners thoroughly on performance and reliability before their properties are added to the range. As a general rule, you can conveniently pay your travel or rental price to us, and we will take over the administration with the respective provider for you.
How does the online booking proceed?
After you have sent your booking request you will receive a query number on the next page. Your booking is processed by our customer service and coordinated with the provider. As soon as we receive a response we will get back to you via email. You are only bound for 48 hours by the booking and afterwards are able to withdraw by sending an email (of course only as far as your booking has not been confirmed). Longer periods apply for bookings with special requests and conditions e.g. additional occupation or pets on request. Should contrary to expectations your booking not be confirmed then we will send you an alternative offer.
Can I obtain the holiday address in advance?
We generally show the exact location of the accommodation - which is highlighted as a red house - on the map of the respective property description. In exceptional cases, the location of the accommodation will not be shown, but only that of the holiday resort (as a red dot). In such instances, we are adhering to the express wish of the respective owner who has asked for discretion. In any case, you will receive the holiday-home address with your travel documents between 10 to 14 days before departure.
Can I cancel my booking?
You can cancel your booking at any time. The easiest way is via the contact form. The amount of the cancellation fee shall be graded according to the time of cancellation and pursuant to the provider's General Terms and Conditions. Should you unexpectedly not be able to arrive, please let us know as soon as possible, even if this is only a few days before the start of the trip. Please contact our customer service if you have any questions.
Furnishings of holiday homes
How many people can stay in a house?
The maximum occupancy is specified for the properties. The property will not be able to accommodate more than the given number of people. This also includes babies and small children. Over-occupancy may be possible under exceptional circumstances, but enquiries must be made in advance. Please state the number of travellers, their ages, and their names in the booking order. Please note that over-occupancy may incur additional charges. Please note that over-occupancy is not possible in Croatia for legal reasons, and therefore cannot be requested.
Is there a cot or high chair available?
Please check the property description for information on this. If there is no information on this then generally this means there is no cot/high chair. However, we will gladly ask the respective provider in conjunction with your booking request whether a cot/high chair or similar item can be made available.
Are pets permitted?
Dog, cat, mouse: Whether and how many pets are permitted – usually one, sometimes several – varies from house to house and is specified in the relevant property presentation. A request must be made at the time of booking if you wish to bring along more animals than the specified number. Please click on "Continue with booking" in the property presentation and enter the number of pets. Requests must also be made in individual cases for just one pet. The owner wants to ensure that his/her property is suitable for you and your pet. There may be a surcharge for bringing your pet along. Tip: Enter whether you are bringing a pet along when you conduct a search. Only suitable holiday accommodation will then be displayed in the results list.
Is Internet/WLAN available?
Please refer to the property description to see whether a connection is available. If Internet or WLAN is advertised, its use is only intended for holiday purposes and it is usually not suitable for business utilisation. The data usage may be limited. Similarly, it may be the case that constant availability will not always be guaranteed. A WLAN connection normally means that coverage extends to most of the rooms of the property. Depending on the size, construction style, and location of the holiday accommodation, it cannot, however, be guaranteed throughout the whole house and garden.
Does the holiday home have a TV?
Each house has different furnishings and facilities. The property description will state if there is a TV. Here you will also find out if there is satellite or cable television. Please note that the availability of satellite or cable television does not mean you will receive English language programmes.
When is the pool opened?
In the property description you will find information on the seasonal pool opening times. Should you not find any details then this provides you with an orientation: In the Mediterranean countries the pools are generally open from the beginning of June until mid/end of September and in Central Europe are available between July and August. Please note that the stated dates for the start and end of the season can move depending on the weather.
Who takes care of the final cleaning?
Unless otherwise stated in the property description, guests take care of the final cleaning. If a final cleaning service is included in the scope of services or has been additionally booked, just sweep or vacuum, take out the trash and wash the dishes before you leave. Please remember that in some regions not every property has its own garbage bin and the guest has to take the trash to a municipal collection point. The property owner will provide you with detailed information when you arrive.
Do I have to bring bed linen and towels?
It is stated in the property description if bed linen and towels are included in the rental price or have to be additionally booked. In case there is no information then one must bring bed linen and towels.
What needs to be considered in respect to the heating and air conditioning?
The respective property presentation will indicate whether the accommodation has heating or air conditioning. Please refer to the price information to see whether additional costs will be incurred from use of them. Please note that there are legal restrictions on the heating periods in some countries.
How are the provided distances measured?
In order to provide you with an orientation most of the property descriptions have information on distance for example how far the next beach is. Please note that the provided distance information is linear distances which is very an estimation.
Please also include the shown map with each property into your travel plans.
On which days is it possible to arrive and depart?
Arrivals and departures are often only possible on certain weekdays, e.g., on Fridays or Saturdays. The possible arrival days for the accommodation are marked in the occupancy calendar. Click on the desired arrival day and the respective rental / travel price will be calculated (depending on availability). Other arrival days are possible during the off-peak season, but an enquiry must be made with the booking. To do this, please click on "Continue with booking" and enter the desired travel date and duration of the stay.
In order to avoid vacancy gaps, many owners have specified a minimum rental period, e.g., three nights or even a week. This information can be found below the occupancy calendar. If you select a shorter period, e.g, because you may want to depart earlier, you will still be charged the price for the minimum rental period. If you are planning to arrive later than you have booked, please inform our customer service so that the owner does not have to wait for you unnecessarily.
Can I make special requests with my booking?
Please check your property description to see whether the accommodation offers extras. Often they can be booked as an added service. Special requests like for example which floor the holiday apartment is supposed to be on we will gladly enquire in conjunction with your booking request. Just enter your wish in the field "Notice to the customer service" and we will pass it on to the respective provider. Please note that special requests will often only be noted as a non binding customer request.
What basic equipment can I expect to find at a holiday property? What do I need to take with me?
Unless something else is stated in the description, a holiday property generally has crockery, pans and cutlery for the number of persons being accommodated, simple cooking utensils and at least two hotplates. Special equipment such as a salad spinner, garlic press, corkscrew and toaster may not be included in the basic equipment, unless they are explicitly mentioned in the description, and you should take them with you to be on the safe side. Consumables such as toilet paper, condiments and cleaning products are also not part of the basic equipment, so you ought to bring them with you or shop for them locally.
Arrival/Departure and travel documents
When and how will I receive my travel documents?
After the total rental price has been received the travel documents will be prepared for dispatch. Normally the travel documents will arrive 10 to 14 days before departure via e-mail or post.
How am I going to get the keys?
There will be information on the key handover in your travel documents. On presentation of the rental voucher you will receive the keys for the booked accommodation on arrival.
Who do I contact if I have any questions or problems during my holiday?
Your host will do everything possible to make sure you enjoy your stay and are comfortable in the holiday property. However, unforeseen problems do sometimes occur. If you experience any problems please contact the local provider for assistance and to clarify your mutual rights and obligations.
Details of the person to contact are stated on the booking documents which were sent to you before your holiday.
Where can I find information on passport, exchange and health regulations?
Travel, safety, entry, health and visa information are available on the website of the German Foreign Ministry: www.auswaertiges-amt.de. If you are not able to find the necessary information then please contact your embassy.
What times is it possible to arrive and depart?
Generally you can arrive between 4 and 6 p.m. Generally it is necessary to enquire with the provider if a later arrival time is possible. Please also note that you will have to leave your accommodation at the latest by 10 a.m. You will be able to find the detailed arrival and departure times in your travel documents. If you already know at the time of booking that you are going to arrive particularly early or leave late then please let us know under "Notice to the customer service". We will gladly ask the provider in regards to your differing arrival time.
Search and availability
How can I find a holiday home?
In the search enter your travel destination, the desired travel date and duration as well as best with the number of people you are intending to travel with. In a third search step you can also state whether you want to take one a pet. Should you desire certain facilities or furnishings such as a dish washer or pool then this can also be included within your search. Now click on "Show offers" and we will compile a list of available holiday homes. This may take a couple of seconds.

 In order to simplify price comparison the list contains the prices that were calculated for your specific search constellation: Travel date and duration, number of people and even a surcharge for the dog are included as far as possible. Naturally the result list only has the most important details to each offer. To find out more make use of the preview or click on "Details" to get to the property presentation.
Are the offered holiday properties available?
When you select a travel date and period with your search, the offered accommodation will then be automatically checked for availability so that only the properties which are free will be shown in the results list. The basis for this is the occupancy calendar which the respective provider always keeps up to date. In order to provide additional assurance, the availability will be checked with the provider at the time of the booking . Should the accommodation not be available any more - contrary to expectations, we will provide you with alternatives.
Ask our customer service

Access: Reviewing Funded Family Care and repealing the outrage of part 4A of the Public Health and Disability Amendment Act
17 Responses
Will the same compassion be applied to the assessment processes, which for some take a very narrow view of eligibility?
The announcement said that NASC assessment processes will continue unchanged – more of the same nitpicking and rationing. I hope someone is monitoring how many people get the full 40 hour maximum.
The prospect of improvement as part of wider changes to support services is being dangled, but how many years away is that?
I think I was mistaken in thinking that this was a big change. It was only a tweak to let in a few more applicants.
My lack of a legal background shows in a couple of errors in this post. The Court of Appeal is not the highest court (that's the Supreme Court). The act to be repealed is part 4A of the 2013 NZ Public Health and Disability Amendment Act, which refers back to Part 4A of the 2000 NZ Public Health and Disability Act. Sorry about this.
Thanks for posting this Hilary. I guess I should have done an update here on PA last Sunday, but in all honesty, these days, quelling my frustration to the point of being able to write to the standard expected here is sometimes beyond me.
I see Kirsty Johnston has a paywalled article about the death by overdose in state care of a disabled person in 2011 that the Misery is choosing to hide. This death was one of '110 in care facilities that year...'
These two issues are inextricably linked.
The Miserly has updated its page and it seems that Funded Family Care is here to stay as a separate entity.
Yes they will allow payment of spouses and yes they will pay parents of under 18 year olds and yes the pay rate will increase according to "comparable pay scale, service and qualification levels ' .
But it looks very much like Funded Family Care is going to continue to exist as a method whereby family members can be paid to provide allocated supports.
Which, if it is not already blindingly obvious, still fucking treating family carers differently.
Hilary Stace, in reply to
Just to clarify a bit more. The Government will (hopefully) repeal the whole of he 2013 NZ Public Health and Disability Amendment Act. The whole point of the Act was to amend and extend Part 4A of the 2000 Act. I should have made that clearer in the post.
Hilary Stace, in reply to
Thanks for this Rosemary. Pity about the Herald paywall as I miss some of Kirsty's good work these days. She knows a lot about state care and disability as a result of her investigations over the last several years.
I am hopeful that the eventual select committee process looking at the repeal of the 2013 NZPH&D Act will be an opportunity for some real investigations about better ways.
Sacha, in reply to
quelling my frustration to the point of being able to write to the standard
heck, I even have trouble meeting the bar over there :)
Finally it has been recognised that the funding allocated for this is not going to be enough.
Some numpty didn't do their sums did they?I would like to think that this will not be used as a (convenient) excuse to sideline this...but I am not even going to hope.
No wonder Julie Anne Genter has handed the whole disability thing over to Jenny Salesa.
Natrad engaged quite rightly with Brian Easton...
Economist Brian Easton said there were going to be some very disappointed people.
"The new people are going to get paid for far fewer hours than the existing people, perhaps about a quarter to a third number of hours that the existing people get," Dr Easton said.
"So it's an extension of the scheme but it doesn't cover all the needs of those people who have been excluded and particularly are concerned about full-time care."
There could be some families who already have some services from providers but some hours of payment for other times would be appreciated. I also hope that if it does prove popular that more funding is provided in future Budgets. The evaluation of Mana Whaikaha (the new NASC-less person-centred system in the MidCentral area which is proving very popular) is also due next year. I would hope that all these things are considered in a new focus on fairer and more consistent disability support in the next parliamentary term.
Rosemary McDonald, in reply to
I would hope that
Now, I'm going to ask that we hop in our time machine and travel back to September 2013 and the Previous Incumbents' announcement of the brand spanking new Funded Family Care.
The Government has been working with people from the disability and carers' community (blah, blah, usual blah) on key parts of implementing its $92 million policy of paying some family members to care for disabled people, Health Minister Tony Ryall says.
"It enables around 1,600 disabled adults who meet the high and very high needs eligibility criteria to pay resident family members to care for them at home for up to 40 hours a week – if that's their choice. This policy does not apply to spouses or partners, or children under 18."
"The Government will invest $92 million over the next four years to pay for this support package at an estimated cost of $23 million a year.
It turns out that for the first four years of Funded Family Care the total spend was $22.5 million. That is just shy of a quarter of the much publicised generous allocation of $92 million allocated in 2013.
Leaving $73.5 million of unused funds specifically earmarked for paying family carers ostensibly (according to the response I received today from DSS) returned to the Government coffers.
So, ok, Current Mob....you stuffed up with your premature announcement the other day by failing to check to see if the allocated funding was going to be sufficient to fulfill your promises....here's a bloody lifeline.
There's $73.5 million already allocated that you can surely draw upon to do this work properly. Taking the yearly funding from a mere $8million to a workable $26 million.
Sacha, in reply to
Allocations expire, sorry. Being that underspent shows the criteria were mis-designed. Some might even call it revenge..
Rosemary McDonald, in reply to
Some might even call it revenge..
Cheap and dirty was how John Forman described it...
"In its announcement the Government makes much of the fact that it consulted with experts to craft this policy. The feedback we provided was ignored, and the result is the Funded Family Care payment is a dog's breakfast. It's not nice, it's not right, and it won't work,"
I know John was at the Grand Announcement do at Government House the other weekend...I wonder if he's caught up with the fact that they got their costings wrong?
Not that it would be fair to expect him to step up again and battle...he and the Carers Alliance were staunch throughout....unlike the secretariat of Carers NZ.
Sacha, in reply to
John is a good man.
Another update on this from the Misery of Health's website.
They have released this Cabinet Paper dated September 2018.
Also this 51 page tome dated around about when the announcement was made in July.
There's over eighty pages of discussion, and since both Peter and I struggle to read volumes on screen I began to print them out.
Big mistake. Will I ever bloody learn? Not quite as many solid blacked out redactions as the Previous Incumbents' effort that so riled readers here on Public Address back in 2013...but not far off.
Simply not acceptable.
Not.Fucking. Okay.
Open and transparent government my arse.
Post your response…

I have told in a previous post on woodcarving knives of the shoulderknife, the knife used for making intarsia. I now would like to present the shoulderknife that I have made recently. The blade was created by the German master-smith David Schütze (Wollschmiede), who also made the blade for my carving knife as well as a specialist plane blade. The handle I have made out of cherry wood. The total length of my shoulderknife is 65.5 cm, the knife blade itself measures 4 by 2.5 cm and extends 8 cm into the handle. I have some plans to use the knife for a medieval chest decorated with intarsia, but that will take a while to get started (and finished).
The shoulderknife, the latest addition to the medieval toolchest. At the top a chisel by Narex is shown for size comparison (used at the woodworking workshop - personally I prefer the old blue Stanley chisels when not re-enacting).
The medieval carving knife at work: This work have I Antonio Barili made with the carving knife,
not with a brush. In the year 1502

I have two interrelated questions that have been bothering me for some time. I have read all the stuff online and it still doesn't make sense to me:
Let us assume:
- 0% interest rate (both hedge funding and discounting rate)
- 0% dividends
Hence, Forward=Spot.
Why is the price of a ATM put equal to the price of a ATM call? What is happening to the log-normal distribution here, shouldn't the call be more expensive? (two 50% increases lead to a greater payoff(225% Spot) than 2 50% decreases (25% Spot).
Very related.. why is then a 110% Call Option worth more than a 90% Put option (under the same conditions as above)?
