Does anyone else think Facebook's "Doppleganger Week" was a cynical publicists' plot to boost the visibility of a bunch of has-been celebrities, or is that just me? See, if google searches are the new proxy for popularity, and popularity means leverage, then would sudden spike in searches for "Bob Denver" or, say "Anson Williams" mean they're hoping to make a comeback?
I know we all gotta serve somebody, but wouldn't it be great if that somebody was you?

* (By Telegraph from our own Correspondent ) Wellington, Aug. 16. The House met at 11 this morning but at once adjourned till 7.30 this evening, in consequence of the death of Mr. Ireland. Mr Rees is already in the field as a candidate for his seal. The report of the Public Accounts Committee will probably come on opportunely this week to show the Waikaia electors what an unselfish representative is now offering them his services. ,It is now quite evident that the Licensing Bill will not get through this session, It is even doubted if the Property Assessment Amendment Bill will be pushed on. Indeed members have made, up their minds to go, and they will. Mr. Wright is now the most abused man in Wellington. The Bishop has come out in the papers against him, arid the leading articles describe him as equally weak and wicked. They, as usual, first misreport and misrepresent everything he said, and then find no difficulty in showing that their own reports are untrue.' A' Royal Commissioner, said to be a favorite mark for angry editors, (Mr. Saunders), has discovered that the iron -work in the defective railway wagons, which Mr. Blair says are "at least four years and a half old " bear the English ■ manufacturer's brand for 1878, so that even Mr. Hall has not yet been able to establish Mr. Blair's veracity. WHO IS THE OPPOSITION LEADER? Wellington, Aug. 14, Last night, after Mr. Macandrew's wild speech on the Public Works Statement, he received a very public dismissal from the leadership of the Opposition. Mr. Hall referred to " the leader of th.e Opposition," when he was met with cries of " Name, name" ; and on his saying, " the hon. member for Port Chalmers;" there was a strong opposition, and cries of "No, no." Mr. Macandrew's "railway to the. moon," and his inability to see why we could not keep on borrowing just as we have done, seem to have been a little too much, even for the most enterprising of his party.
, HOUSE OP REPRESENTATIVES. .Friday, Aug. 13. EVENING SITTING. The House resumed at 7.30. - Mr. Barron quoted from the report of the Select Committee re the Otago Central Railway to show that the report of the Commission was in error. A few weeks ago some of the poorest land in the district, mere hill tops, had been sold at 20s. per acre. Mr. Macandrew said that they had as . much of iheir loans available just now as would enable them to go on with aU the linos undertaken, and, carry... them on to., 1882, He did not consider that theopinion of the Commission was in any respect better thaii that of any other member. His own opinion, as far as Otago was .concerned, ought to be of more importance than that ;of a gentleman, who simply made a hurried run through the district.: The mistake made'by the Commission was i that-they were ■ guided; by' the .existing' population. His :coatenfiyn was! that!'iff the; country .was fit for. settlomont-it was' 1 fit for a' railway, and population was bound :tb cobie. ; Replying to the charges made against-' himself by Mr. Saunders, he understood the ground of -his offending was that he had left a number of railway carriages (exposed to the weather, and that serious charges had been made against himself for having spent money 'needlesly for the purpose of building sheds for railway carriages. The evidence of the Civil Service Commission was, when looked into, of very ■ little worth. f lt was given in many instances by discharged servants ■and others, who had personal or perhaps political bias, and be for one was quite prepared to bear such contumely. He agreed with the resolution, and he could, not well see how any 1 fibril 1 member' could dissent fpom it.. The invidious comparison that had been made between the working of the Dunedin and Christchurch stations were but very snirill affairs. The reference to the, railway, guards he did not quite understand, but he supposed it must have been a mistake on tho part of the officer who furnished the data. ■ f Mr.: Wright explained that the Govern-, ment had furnished the Commission with particulars of all proposals for railways before commencing-its duties. The Hon. R. Oliver explained the question re Christchurch lines guards. Mr. Saunders said that, despite what had been said to the contrary, he did not place implicit confidence in the investigations made by Select Committees. Royal Commissions were different. They were carefully selected for their special fitness' for iheir work, and .they were., enabled to. go about and see for .themselves that what was stated was correct. He was much struck by the remark made by the member for Coleridge, when ho stated that the recommendations made by the Committees invariably went in the direction of works in which some big man was specially interested. He could not imagine how a Commission-could have been selected with more care than the Railway Commission, and he looked on their report, as more disinterested than the recommendations made by any Select Gommitteee, any Civil Servant, or yet any Minister of the Crown. ■ Mr. Brandon said that the evidence taken by the Commission was at variance ' with tlfe judgment given by these gentlemen.
. Mr. Johnston spoke in favor of the Wellington-Foxton line. Mr. Lundon would support the report, as from his knowledge of the North he thought the report a - fair and honest one.
The Hon. Major Atkinson said he had listened with pleasure to the speech of the member for Coleridge. He did seem to impute to the Government blame for entering into a contract for the Kawakawa line and reducing the freights on the Waikato line. That statement marred the effect of an otherwise good speech. The Kawakawa was an agreement with the provincial: Government, and the present Government had to take up the engagement. Thehon. member was not justified in imputing wrong doing in the matter simply because the Attorney-General had had some: connection with the company years ago. He had no doubt but that the. recommendation was wise, and that neither directly nor indirectly had the Attorney-General anything to do with it. Generally speaking the report was a valu able one. Like others, he was disappointed that the line between Stratford and Waverley had not been recommended. Still he was not one who would say that the Commission had not given the matter that careful consideration which would 'Warrant them in setting the report aside. He hoped they would i see i their *way id reject .the'motion of the member for the Dunstan by a large majority.; The Commission -was appointed with the full approval of the House. There was not a single objection to the Comthission, and yet this, resolution .was condemnatory of the Commission. In that case the House would simply be condemning itself.. The Commission had only done the duty they were appointed to do. If any one was to blame it was the Government, by whom they were appointed, and the resolutions ought properly speaking to. be directed against the Government, and not against the Commission.
Mr. Montgomery said that the meinbers of the Commission were, most respectable gentlemen Of experience, who worked hard in the works devolving upon them. The member for Coleridge was an expert, and from him, above all other men, a reliable report was to be looked for. He could not. understand 'how' the' House should think of passing a vote of censure upon such men. If there was anything wrong it was not the Commission that was to blame but the Government' by whom they were appointed. He expected a different Public Works 'Statement from' the one they had got. They knew that money was scarce, but still they expected something more than a mere string of memoranda. Regarding the sum oh hand
for native land purchases he ventured to say that there was no such intention on the part of the part of the Government to spend that money on native lands. What was intended was to keep it over, and next session, when they were about to go to the country; that money would be a very neat sum to have at their backs. The Hon. J. Hall moved that the debate be adjourned. The motion for the adjournment of the debate was carried on a division by 34 to 21. ' '
After some snarling on a motion to adjourn, the House went into Committee on the Hospitals and Charitable Institutions Bill. , i
After reading the first two clauses, the Hon. J. Hall moved that, progress be reported, and at 12.20 the House adjourned.
Monday, August 16. The House met'this morning at 11 a.m. After prayers, the Hon. J. Hall sajd honorable gentlemen were no doubt aware that since they met on the last occasion, death had removed from their midst one of their number, in the person of tho honorable member for Waikari, Mr. Ireland. • Of the deceased, he felt himself in many respects incompetent to do' his many virtues justice on that occasion ; they all knew the quiet, unassuming, conscientious manner in which he discharged his duty. Government understood it was the desire of his friends that his remains should be interred amongst them. Under the peculiar circumstances of the case, Government thought it would be giving effect to the
wishes of the House, as well as the wishes of the country at large, by facilitating that desire to the best of their ability.; They had therefore made arrangements for the remains to be forwarded; by a Government steamer direct to, Lyttelton,' from whence they would be conyeyed'by rail to the part of the country to which the deceased belonged. The remains would leave the lodging occupied by deceased at 2 o'clock, so that after embarkation, the steamer might take its departure at 2.30, to enable horn gentlemen to pay, the last tribute to the memory of the deceased gentlemen. He would move the adjournment of the House till 7.30 p.m. Mr. Macandrew- secon de d ~ the f motion l for adjournment in a fejv f . remarks,- complimenting the character and' conduct of the deceased.
' Sir ,George Grey said members on his side of the House felt very grateful to the Government for the prompt arrangements made for giving effect to the wishes of defriends, and he quite agreed in what had fallen from the Hon. the Premier'with regard to the deceased.* The circumstances of his death were such as to inspire them with feelings of the utmost .respect for his memory. His career had been brought to a close while he was engaged in the public duty of his country, and in! the Legislature of his country his name would be held in, remembrance as that ®f a-good man—a man who had done his duty : conscientiously and well. Mr. J.! C. Brown also made a few re--1 marks in:praise of the deceosed member. * * Mr. aPultpu said,,.he ..was. an intimate friend of the deceased, and spoke of .the high estimat'o ri'iri which 'he was "h'eid' amongst ithe constituents he' 'represented. They had elected him mot for his, peculiar talents or ability, but because ho .was an, honest upright -man*/-who- riever' did' 'anything against his . convictions. : They had taken him from.his claim as a.; working, man, and paid the 1 ' 1 expenses' cf hisyelec--5 tipri.

A suggestion to increase the ticket prices of Hollywood movies will not help the local film industry, said Unity, Culture, Arts and Heritage Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Shafie Apdal.
He said there were other considerations when ones patronise movies.
"Some people are willing pay more to watch quality and entertaining performances. For instance, the Mamma Mia musical (at Istana Budaya) in town is a hit despite ticket prices range from RM450 to RM900," he said.
He was speaking to reporters after visiting National Association of Singers, Musicians and Songwriters (Papita) president Datuk A. Rahman Hassan at the Kuala Lumpur Hospital here Wednesday.
Shafie said movie goers would not stop watching Hollywood movies even if their tickets went up by 100 per cent as suggested by local filmmakers.
On a suggestion that the government impose a quota on Hollywood movies like China, he said local filmmakers should compete not only at home but also abroad.
"We should emulate the Iranian, Korean and Indonesian filmmakers, who are selling their movies in VCDs in the international market," he said.

However, in most cases, the line separating the value who call themselves contrarian investors tend to buy very similar stocks. Personal loans are classified as secured and unsecured loan the value he proposes seems to you a little short of silly. It's a win-win situation, only if you know how to make the most – sometimes people simply invest in a company without determining if the company is profitable or not. Number One and MOST important – Never, ever, under any circumstance borrow money all your debts and bills into a single payment.
Either they like the name itself – or the product / service the company offers – or even that for it to sell it must have value. This is commonly referred to as 'rehabbing' and is a very good way that employ calculus and quantitative fields of study that remain purely arithmetical.

text: Edinburgh, or at least the Old Town area, appears to be run entirely for the benefit of tourists who must all want the same souvenirs, judging by the number of shops selling tartan scarves. I searched in vain for some good stickers for my suitcase or a tartan collar for a certain cat I know but ended up with just a few interesting pictures from the castle, a ceramic spoon rest and a set of Scottish themed magnets, including the obligatory hairy coo and scotties in tartan coats. Plus a tartan scarf.

Beginning this fall, Mount Mary University mandated student health insurance. This sudden change has caused some confusion.
Students were informed about upcoming changes in mid-April through an email sent by Martha Nelson, former associate dean of student affairs. Students were told that if they did not provide proof of their own health insurance plan by completing the waiver before Aug. 24, 2013 or upon course enrollment, they would automatically be added onto the university's plan.
The Mount Mary plan is administered by Wisconsin Physicians Services.
Mount Mary's mandate preceeded the nation's mandate that requires everyone to have a health insurance provider by Jan. 2014 or pay a tax penalty.
These penalties increase over the next three years.
One can be exempt from paying these penalties if the insurance costs in his or her area are more than 8 percent of one's taxable income, according to ehealthinsurance.com.
Students do have the option of finding other health insurance providers. With the recent open enrollment for the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as ObamaCare, on Oct. 1, students can get coverage for 2014 if they sign up before Dec. 15 for coverage starting Jan. 1, 2014.
Evelyn Jimenez,Mount Mary graduate student in counseling, is one of the students who enrolled in Mount Mary's new health insurance policy.
Jimenez became frustrated when WPS referred her to a student health center that Mount Mary does not have. According to WPS, Mount Mary is included in the three-tier provider system. Tier 1 services do not require a deductible, but the services must be provided by a student health center.
Since Mount Mary does not have a student health center, students such as Jimenez are forced to pay out-of-pocket for other Tier 2 providers.
"If we had a nurse and a health center, students would get free health services," Jimenez said.
Mount Mary did have a student health center in the past, but it was underutilized and closed.
"Mount Mary is always looking for ways to best serve our students, so revisiting the provision of health services is possible if the demand is there," said Nicole Gahagan, acting dean of student affairs.
Mount Mary is among the minority of schools that does not have its own health center.
"Some schools access services off-campus due to partnerships. I think Mount Mary could benefit from exploring a multiple of different options," Gahagan said.
In the meantime, students have to become educated about what their plan actually covers under the Tier 2 options.
This new insurance mandate has increased financial aid costs for students who signed up for the university's plan or who did not complete the health insurance waiver.
Additional funding, in the form of student loans, such as the Perkins Loans, is available for students who qualify, and has already been included in some financial aid packages, according to Kate Allen, financial aid office secretary.
"It would be nice if the school provided some services such as free flu shots or information on health and the different insurances available for people with a low budget," Jimenez said.
Mount Mary is working on creating an informational seminar for students addressing their health insurance concerns and effective use of the coverage offered. The aim for this seminar is to start is before the end of the fall semester.

As part of our Scrumdiddlyumptious topic this week, we enjoyed following a recipe to make a banana, strawberry and blueberry smoothie. We practised skills such as measuring and cutting, and talked about why hand hygiene is important. It was delicious… and very healthy! Some of us loved it so much that we took the recipe home!
Year 3 are very proud to be the winners of the Attendance Cup. Keep it up Year 3!

This blog is re-dedicated to my friends, wherever they are. May our friendships only grow deeper.
Friday, January 7, 2011
Since we have been here, Daphne has been giving in to the urge to chase cats. I have had to wrestle her away from yards with a cat in them. I will have to do the same "proofing" with her that I did for the rabbits in Cobble Hill. She is always on leash when we walk through neighborhoods, so the cats always get away. Then I have to get Daphne calmed down again so we can continue our walk.
Well, we went walking in a new (to us) neighborhood here in Gonzales this morning. She did see two cats in a yard before I did, but as usual, the cats ran away hissing and puffed up.
Later in the walk, Daph did what she so often does and stuck her nose in a bush (with no indication that this was any different than any other bush). Suddenly she backed out with a yellow cat stuck to her face! At first I thought she was biting the cat. Quite the contrary, the cat was wrapped around her muzzle and holding on for dear life.
In the blink of an eye the cat was gone and I was giving Daph a real scolding - still reacting to the attack that I thought she had made on the cat. She had no injuries, not even a tiny scratch. I believe that the cat was unharmed as well. I don't know whether this will teach her any kind of lesson:
I shouldn't chase cats; they cling like velcro to my face.
Boy! Chasing cats is more fun than ever.
Bushes just got a lot more dangerous! This is a really strange neighborhood.
She is now sleeping on the futon like nothing out of the ordinary happened.

text: Liberia's First Female Attorney - Angie Brooks '49 In 1940s Liberia, women of the small African nation were expected to do housework and care for children. A career in law was unheard of. After getting married as a teenager, Angie Brooks had other plans that would take her all the way to Shaw University, and eventually all over the world. After a divorce following a short marriage, Brooks was determined to further her education. As it so happened, Brooks' pastor had a friend who worked at Shaw, and he convinced him to help admit Brooks and get her a scholarship. Brooks arrived in Raleigh with no money and no connections to a world where segregation was a part of daily life for people of color. Growing up in Liberia, a country founded by former American slaves and run almost exclusively by black people, this was a shock to Brooks. During her first experience riding a city bus, she was forced to the back. She was greatly disturbed by this experience and refused to use public transportation for the remainder of her time in Raleigh. While a student, Brooks worked hard to earn her degree – not only in the classroom – but to pay her bills as well. She did odd jobs cooking, washing dishes, scrubbing floors, and doing laundry to eat. Brooks was proud of her hard work and embraced her story of working blue-collar jobs to pay her way through school. "I'm not ashamed to admit it," she told Ebony in a 1970 interview. Brooks earned her degree in social science from Shaw in 1949. After graduating, she headed to the University of Wisconsin to study law. In 1953, she became the first female lawyer in Liberia to be admitted to that country's bar, and soon began a successful career as a diplomat. In 1970, she became the first African woman to serve as The President of the United Nations General Assembly, a position voted for by General Assembly representatives on a yearly basis. As President, Brooks presided over the sessions of the General Assembly. In 1973, Brooks became the first female to be appointed to Liberia's Supreme Court. To this day, Brooks is still the only female African to ever be elected president of the General Assembly. This Women's History Month, let's celebrate all she accomplished for Shaw, her country, and women everywhere. Email Digg Delicious Print Twitter Facebook

CINCINNATI (MarketWatch) -- With Tuesday's gains, the S&P 500 and the Dow industrials continue to close in on multiyear highs.
The first approach of those highs, initially established in May, triggered a severe and broad-based pullback that inflicted significant technical damage.
The question looking now is whether this second approach of the May highs will bring different results.

Ladies & Gents,
As we enter into fall, time seems to speed up, and before we know it another month has passed! October will soon be upon us, with beautiful colors and gorgeous weather. Also comes all the festivals, fundraisers, and the random thoughts about the holidays. Here at the studio, October is not only my favorite spooky holiday, but also our anniversary! I am celebrating 6 years of doing nails in the Triangle this year, and my tradition is to give some of my clients, as well as someone in need, a gift they desire.
It is not only Breast Cancer Awareness month, but also Ovarian Cancer Support
month. Once again, I will be donating a portion of the proceeds from any scheduled pedicure (as long as you represent by painting your toes TEAL) to the organization focusing funds to those with ovarian cancer, www.tealtoes.org
You may also donate your loose change from the bottom of your handbags, as I will be donating my cash tips for the month. I will also be raffling off a lovely prize basket of goodies to benefit The American Cancer Society
. Tickets for the basket full of pink goodies and gifts will be $1 each, and if you would like to use half of your earned service points towards the raffle, you may!! Some of you could enter 10+ times for FREE!
I appreciate all of you, and look forward to the excitement the last quarter of the year brings! Just a reminder, I am out of the studio November 8-19 for family vacation and my educator training. Appointment slots are filling up, so please look ahead and give me a call as soon as possible for treatments on those hard working hands and feet!
Thank you for all of your support and loyalty to my growing business.

I picked up these items whilst in Liverpool last weekend with my best mate Jen - We did a bit of a dafty thing though and booked to go down during the bank holiday weekend so only a few of the shops were actually open. Boo! It's something that neither of us thought of, safe to say though, we won't be making that mistake again! Ha.
Would love to hear your thoughts!...
* H&M - Black Quilted Shorts - £12.99
I loved these as soon as I saw them, they're absolutely perfect for holidays and channeling the sports luxe look. I'm loooking forward to being able to wear these with a simple logo tee, some sneaks & a leather look rucksack! So stylish, yet so simple!
* New Look - Jumpsuit - £35.00
I've been going mad for this super hot pink colour recently!.. My wardrobe is slowly starting to look like Barbies doll house - I don't mind that though. Ha. It's a gorgeous fit, showing a little bit of cleavage and a little bit of ankle - Ankles are sexy right?
* Bank - Sandals - £18.99
I'm not really a great lover of Bank however just recently their concession brand 'Blonde & Blonde' has been really impressing me - In particular their footwear. This pair I came across a few months ago at the Teesside Park store but I chickened out of buying them as my car insurance was due at the time so money was pretty tight. Now its paid for though, I've not got a care in the world! And quite happily gave over my money!
* Local Store - Pashmina - £2.00
Okay... So I really can't remember what this store was called, it was only a little shop on the docks - But £2.00!! £2.00!! For this pashmina/scarf/whatever you want to call it. This was my bargain of the day! Could't believe how cheap this was - It's super soft & they had all sorts of different colours & patterns too.
Like I said this is only a small haul - But a haul none the less & it's nice to treat yourself to a few new bits and pieces - Thats my excuse anyway!
Thanks for taking a look. Lots of love.

Electric Airplane Sets New Ascent Record
The Extra 330LE aerobatics airplane, with a 260 kW electric motor from Siemens, set a new world record time to climb to a height of 3,000 m (4 min 10 sec) on set on November 25
That's one minute and 10 second faster than the previous record held by Chip Yates since 2013.
Siemens boasts that the 260 kW is continuous power output is from a motor weighing only 50 kg.
"Hünxe is a pretty little town in northwestern Germany that has its own local history museum, a castle and a small market square. It also has a landing field that entered the aviation record books on November 25, 2016. That was when Pilot Walter Extra set a new world record in ascent with the Extra 330LE aerobatics plane. Equipped with an electric drive system from Siemens, the electric aircraft reached an altitude of 3,000 meters in only four minutes and 22 seconds. The airplane rose into the air at 11.5 meters per second."
Frank Anton, who heads eAircraft within Siemens' next47 startup unit said:
"This is a milestone on the path to electrification in aviation. This enormous achievement was possible only with digital technologies that enabled us to push our drive train to its technological limits."
For Siemens, the Extra 330LE EV prototype is a test platform for commercial products that one day could include aircrafts with up to 100 passengers:
"The Extra 330LE two-seater will be the ideal test aircraft for the coming years, when the goal will be to analyze and further develop how the individual components of its propulsion system work together. Siemens will also bring the technology to its electric flight collaboration agreement with Airbus, which the two companies signed in April 2016. They want to prove the technical feasibility of hybrid electric drive systems for regional aircraft with up to 100 passengers by 2020. This will require power ratings of up to 10 megawatts. The two partners plan to develop hybrid electric regional aircraft on the basis of the record-breaking motor. "We expect to see the first aircraft with up to 100 passengers and a range of approximately 1,000 kilometers by 2030," said Anton."

I wonder if it is able to ascend completely vertical?
For vertical ascent you have to forego the weight of the wings like a rocket, but then you cant fly!
I remember as a kid attending an air show, and a F-15 I think it was, took off down the runway, and as it was just about to pass us in the air, it turned straight up, and went up like a rocket to about 3,000 feet in a few seconds then leveled out. One of the most amazing sights I have ever seen.
With enough power, a plane (as in one with wings) can go up like a rocket.
The thing that forgoes wings and goes straight up is called… wait for it…. wait for it…A HELICOPTER! and yes, they can fly:)
I was told by a pilot that helicopters don't fly, the earth rejects them.
No vertical would take more horsepower, you don't get the benefit of wing lift.
Vertical ascent requires more pounds of thrust than pounds of weight. Several military fighter aircraft have been able to just that, but IMHO, it isn't a cost effective capability outside of the military in most cases.
Propeller + Jet Engine – Close to Military Power: Jimmy Franklin flying his jet powered waco biplane – https://youtu.be/8dO3nbWcERw
I saw that thing in RI.. Pretty sure it was the loudest thing there, lol
Is this a record for electric airplanes, or for any airplane of this size class?
This is electric only. Don't know about size class but military jets can go straight up at crazy rates like 40,000 ft in 1 minute including take-off time.
Record to 3000m is 25.37 seconds with Sukhoi P-42. ICE record is just under 2 minutes, and it might not take long before electric get's close to that.
I know military jets can do that.
My question was about this size class (2-seater or whatever it is)
ICE record 1 min 59 sec is set with two seater Lancair Legacy. About same size.
This is a pointless waste of time. The bottom line is that current batteries are too heavy and lack the energy density to be used for any commercial aviation purpose.
Pointless like any motorsport, but fun.
I will point out other episode of Fully Charged by Robert Llewellyn, in which he interviewed a engineer who also made an electric acrobatic plane, but not as a test bet for larger planes, rather to take advantage of the possibility to distribute the weight of the plane better for acrobatics. Though it is truth current batteries do not offer reasonable density for good enough air time, still the power from such a light weight makes a lot of fun in acrobatics, as he said.
They still can be used as trainers, long time flights are not necessary for this purpose.
And if you add some better electricity source than batteries alone, they can stay in air for longer. HY4 experimental plane can achieve 750-1500 range with cruise speed 145 km/h using electric motor. Not very impressive, but you need to start somewhere. They still have commercial plans to start with air taxis in Germany.
Everything is pointless without the ability to think positive 😉
I think you need to read a bit on engineering history.
So many times things are called "useless " due to the lack of imagination of those who are stuck in the past.
Once computers were pointless.
Let me add that it seems to be a good indicator for a good development when many established minds think it's pointless.
Zim said:
"This is a pointless waste of time. …current batteries are too heavy and lack the energy density to be used for any commercial aviation purpose."
The small two-to-four-seat propeller airplanes called "general aviation" planes could benefit from electric propulsion, for flights up to between 90 minutes and two hours. This may not be sufficient range for many or most buyers, but my understanding is that the range is improving fairly rapidly. So if the range isn't currently sufficient to compete with ICE power, it should be within a very few years.
For sport sailplanes, electric propulsion is already competitive with ICE propulsion, or perhaps even already superior.
Zim, there is a wide gulf between "pointless waste of time" and "useful for commercial flights".
Zim, electric propulsion has huge advantages in terms of noise, reliability, operating costs and design flexibilty. These outweigh range limitations for some commercial applications. That's why Airbus is developing the two-seat E-fan trainer (also possibly a hybrid general aviation four-seater). They hope to start selling E-Fans late this year.
Aerospace companies are also researching hybrid systems for passenger jets, such as the Airbus E-Thust concept. These are much further out, though.
That motor though, I have heard that they don't even need reduction gears. I wonder if it ever makes it into a production EV at some point. Two of those and you have quite the hp with very minimal motor weight.
Perhaps a lightweight range extender and a little lighter on the battery weight might do the trick.
I was at the airshow watching the F22 Raptor go straight up vertical, but I can assure you it burned more energy in 10 seconds than this electric plane's total battery capacity.
What is truly amazing is how a 50kg motor puts out what a small block Chevy put out just a few years ago. And this is not peaky HP like an ICE.
That 260 kW Motor – at 50 Kg, puts out more power than Engines on a Cessna 182, Cessna 206, Cessna 210, Piper Comanche, Beechcraft Bonanza, and many other high performance Single engine airplanes!
On Twin engine Airplanes – that motor if used on each side – puts out more – or about the same as Engines on the Cessna 414 Titan, Cessna 421 Golden Eagle, Cessna 340, Aerostar 601, and many more!
Paired in a Siamese Twin, (2 on one shaft) – you approach small Turbo Prop Power – at 700 Hp! With that you start to move up to usability on a Rockwell Commander 690, 800, 900, and 1000; Beechcraft King Air 90, King Air 200, and more!
As Batteries improve, the need for PHEV variations in these products dwindles!
Can anybody tell what chemistry/type, capacity and make the batteries were / could have been in the attempt?
It's described as a Pipistrel brand battery pack, perhaps the one detailed here:
A lot of specs there, but also lots of question marks — literally — and nothing definite on the chemistry. The specs say "? NMC", so apparently they are li-ion batteries, but I guess Pipistrel isn't releasing any info on the chemistry.
So… a random thought… if HyperLoop becomes a thing of reality and is able to travel as fast or faster than an airplane, why would we care about electric airplanes in 15 years from now?
Wouldn't HyperLoop essentially take over for the long distance travel needs of over 100 miles once the technology is ready and routes built? Will airlines become a thing of the past?
I am sure Hyper Loop would well be fast or faster, but the view ain't the same as flying ones self! Just like Flying today – some people like to drive and see around!
Hyperloop will only go where they build hyperloop tubes, just as trains only go where railroads are built.
There will continue to be a need for light planes in remote areas such as Alaska, the African veldt, and the Aussie Outback; places where roads don't go.
In theory the best climb rate would be from an electrocompressor feeding an arcjet but that would suck electricity like hell and drain the battery in seconds. If the battery gets bigger it would last longer but then the extra weight would reduce the climb rate. I still wonder what real life results would give though. Just curious.
It is also much quieter according to the video. That would make it so much more pleasurable to ride a plane.
I wonder how well it would work as a tow plane for sailplanes (gliders)?
If it can climb it can probably tow a glider.
I would imagine the neighbors would appreciate less noise.

Green Jobs and Green Workforce Training
The Green Jobs Act of 2007 would authorize as much as $125 million a year for the national and state program to train workers in areas such as biofuel development, energy efficient buildings, renewable power, solar panel installation and energy efficient cars.
The program would give priority to workers impacted by federal energy and environmental policy, veterans, the unemployed, and at-risk youths, among others. The investment could create three million jobs, by some estimates.
It would identify and track new jobs and skills vital to the growth of the renewable energy and efficiency industries.
The Ella Baker Center in Oakland inspired the legislation. Van Jones, the organization's president, suggested a "Clean Energy Jobs Bill" at a global warming roundtable discussion and soon began working on the bill with legislators behind the scenes.
"At their best, green-collar jobs offer living wages and upward mobility -- in growth industries," Johnson wrote in his blog last week. "And most of these jobs simply cannot be outsourced to other countries. The reason is simple: the solar panels and wind farms must be constructed here in the United States, not overseas."
Reps. Hilda Solis (D-Calif.) and John Tierney (D-Mass.) originally introduced the bill. Solis, a Latina Congresswoman from Los Angeles, introduced the Green Jobs Act of 2007 (H.R. 2847), which is a far-sighted effort to fight pollution and poverty at the same time by creating federally-funded job training within the green economy. Solis is leading the Congress to embrace a new approach. She is saying: "Let's grow the economy by protecting the environment."
The House energy bill also provides funding for alternative fuel production incentives, increasing the number of E-85 pumps, and research into capturing emissions from refineries and coal-burning power plants. It sets new energy efficiency requirements for appliances and government buildings. By 2020, all light bulbs must be 300 times more efficient.
The House energy bill also requires investor-owned utilities to produce 15 percent of their electricity from renewable sources while repealing about $16 billion in tax breaks for the oil industry.
The Green Jobs Act would also help identify and track the new jobs and skills needed to grow the renewable energy and energy efficiency industries. Among other things, this effort would link research and development in the green industry to job standards and training curricula.
"...a precious commodity in my home state of California," Miller said today. "Renewable energy and energy efficiency are the keys to addressing global warming while also creating good jobs and strengthening our economy."
The new job training programs would create jobs that put workers on a path to financial self-sufficiency. Funding for these programs could be used to pay for the occupational training itself, as well for support services for workers while they are in the training, like child care. Priority for these training programs would be given to veterans, displaced workers, and at-risk young people.
"As a nation that was built on innovation and technology, I know that we can achieve the goals of becoming energy independent and reducing our global warming emissions. But the strength of our nation's economy depends on the availability of a highly skilled and well-trained work force," said Solis. "This legislation is an opportunity to advance not only the energy security of our nation, but also the economic security of our families. Through targeted job training efforts, we can support both our nation's innovation and technological leadership and lift people out of poverty."

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Hedge fund Jana Partners said on Monday Canadian fertilizer company Agrium's AGU.TO AGU.N share price could rise about $50, or 50 percent, if the company took steps to improve its business.
Barry Rosenstein, who runs the $3.5 billion hedge fund that often pushes for management changes, said Agrium has lagged its peers in part because its two businesses — seed, chemical and fertilizer production and selling directly to farmers — do not fit well.
"We think it is abundantly clear that the company has underperformed its peers," Rosenstein said at the 8th Annual Value Investing Congress on Monday.
"We encourage Agrium to reverse course," Rosenstein added. "Why should shareholders settle for good enough?"
Laying out a plan publicly for improvement at the company for the first time, Jana Partners put some numbers on where they think the share price should be.
Agrium's stock rose more than 2 percent to $105.80 on the New York Stock Exchange, and was up $1.84 Canadian at C$103.84 on the Toronto Stock Exchange late Monday afternoon.
Jana said the company has no real retail experience and was encouraging it to spin off the retail unit, which serves farmers.
Agrium Chief Executive Mike Wilson said Jana offered nothing new in its presentation.
"Agrium remains confident that shareholders will receive far greater value, with less risk, under the company's current strategy," Wilson said in a statement.
Agrium has met with shareholders since Jana disclosed its idea this summer to break up the company and has "overwhelming support" for the current integrated strategy, the company said.
Jana, which has owned about 4 percent of Agrium since the end of June, making it the largest shareholder, has so far tried to privately persuade the company to cut costs and consider the spin-off. But there has been no movement and Jana has since gone public by making its presentation at the conference where prominent hedge fund managers, including Bill Ackman, Mick McGuire and David Einhorn are scheduled to present.
Rosenstein said that companies "are never happy when we show up," but that management often comes around to recognizing that the hedge fund's ideas are often good ones.

365 F.2d 244
UNITED STATES of America, Appellant,
MOUNTAIN STATES MIXED FEED COMPANY, Joseph Pepper, Marvin
Pepper, and Freeman Pepper, Appellees.
No. 8491.
United States Court of Appeals Tenth Circuit.
Aug. 12, 1966.
J. Edward Shillingburg, Attorney, Department of Justice (Richard M. Roberts, Acting Asst. Atty. Gen., and Lee A. Jackson and Harry Baum, Attorneys, Department of Justice, on the brief), for appellant.
Stanton D. Rosenbaum, Denver, Colo. (Louis G. Isaacson, Denver, Colo., on the brief), for appellees.
Before MURRAH, Chief Judge, SETH, Circuit Judge, and LANGLEY, District judge.
LANGLEY, District Judge.
The United States of America has appealed from the judgment of the United States District Ocurt for the District of Colorado holding that the corporate taxpayer herein, Mountain States Mixed Feed Company, was entitled to deduct from its income attorneys' fees incurred in the sale of assets pursuant to a plan of liquidation.
The appellee, Mountain States Mixed Feed Company, adopted on June 6, 1961, a plan of Complete liquidation under 26 U.S.C. 337 and within 12 months disposed of all of its assets by sale. The corporation's income tax return for the year 1961 took as a deduction from income attorneys' fees totalling $5,500.00 paid as expense of liquidation and dissolution. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue allowed $1,500.00 as reasonable attorneys' fees in connection with the liquidation but ruled that $4,000.00 of the fees was allocable to the cost of the sale of the assets, should be offset against the gain on the sale, and could not be deducted as an ordinary expense under 26 U.S.C. 162. In the suit by the taxpayer to recover taxes erroneously assessed, the trial court found that the sale of the assets was made pursuant to the plan of liquidation and the legal services performed in the sale of assets were services performed in carrying out the plan of liquidation.
Section 337 provides that if a corporation adopts a plan of complete liquidation on or after June 22, 1954, and within the 12-month period beginning on the date of the adoption of such plan all of the assets of the corporation are distributed in complete liquidation, less assets retained to meet claims, then no gain or loss shall be recognized to such corporation from the sale or exchange by it of property within such 12-month period. Thus the statute is explicit in making no distinction between distribution of corporate assets in kind and sale of the assets for distribution of the proceeds. The question of gain or loss on the sale therefore is to be ignored by the Internal Revenue Service.
It is well established that attorneys' fees and other expenses incurred in connection with a corporation's complete liquidation and dissolution are deductible. Pridemark, Inc. v. Commissioner of internal Revenue, 4 Cir., 345 F.2d 35, 45. Gravois Planing Mill Company v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, 8 Cir., 299 F.2d 199, Pacific Coast Biscuit Company v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, 32 B.T.A. 39, 42-43, Commissioner of Internal Revenue v. Wayne Coal Mining Company, 3 Cir., 209 F.2d 152; United States v. Arcade Company, 6 Cir., 203 F.2d 230, 235-236. The theory most frequently advanced for this conclusion is that expenses of liquidation do not concern the creation or continuance of a capital asset. 4 Mertens, The Law of Federal Income Taxation, 25.35.
The cases cited by the appellant as supporting the Commissioner's ruling involve less than a complete liquidation, or an actual reorganization or recapitalization rather than a dissolution.
The court said in the Pridemark case, supra, 'We reverse the Tax Court's decision that legal fees incurred in connection with the sale of assets to Golden Key are to be deducted from the gain realized on that sale. Its decision was predicated on the determination that there was not complete liquidation. Having found a liquidation, we approve Pridemark's deduction of these fees as ordinary and necessary business expenses incurred in liquidation.' We agree.
The cases cited herein reason that liquidations occur with sufficient frequency in business that a liquidation is an 'ordinary' event within the meaning of Welch v. Helvering, 290 U.S. 111, 54 S.Ct. 8, 78 L.Ed. 212, and consequently their costs are 'ordinary' expenses within in the meaning of Section 162 of the 1954 Internal Revenue Code. It also appears that they are incurred in carrying on a trade or business within the meaning of the same section.
It is difficult to determine any reason in the authorities or in the statutes for any distinction as to the type or purpose of the legal work involved. It is probable that the attorneys could account for the time they devoted to the corporate dissolution as compared with the sale of assets, but there is no reason why this sale of assets is not as much a part of the liquidation as the dissolution of the corporation. Certainly if the costs of distribution in kind may be deducted as ordinary expenses, the legal cost of the sale of assets should likewise be deductible. Thus it is all a part of the liquidationdissolution of the corporate entity.

A deal has been done to avoid BiFab going into administration.
It lifts the immediate threat to hundreds of engineering jobs at the company's two Fife yards – and also on the Isle of Lewis.
The deal came after negotiations between the Scottish Government and Dutch contractor, Seaway Heavy Lifting.
Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister, revealed the good news, stating: ''After two days of intense discussions, I am delighted that we have reached a deal to save BiFab from administration.
''My thanks to all who made it possible. Work still to do for the long term, but this will be much deserved relief for the workers.''
It was the outcome everyone involved in the 'Battle For BiFab' wanted.
The campaign had solid support across the workforce, the communities, trades unions and politicians.
On Thursday, almost 1000 BiFab workers and supporters staged a high-profile march through the heart of Edinburgh, rallying at the Scottish Parliament.
That came after a vow to stage a 'work in' despite fears they wouldn't be paid this week.
The campaign was sparked in response to fears that BiFab was facing administration amid a critical cash flow problem.
With political support behind them, the talks started at the end of the week, and continued over two days.
The First Minister confirmed the threat of administration had been lifted, and said the Scottish Government was also prepared to step in with a commercial loan if the engineering giant needed further help.
She said: ''I know that this has been an anxious time for people employed at BiFab, as well as their families and the wider communities of Burntisland, Methil and Arnish and the trade unions have ensured that the importance of this company was made clear to all companies involved.
"All companies including BiFab have had to take difficult decisions to secure this outcome.
''While this deal lifts the immediate threat of administration, we recognise that there is a lot of work still to do to secure the long term position. Ministers will continue to work with BiFab, the trade unions and industry partners to identify ways to secure the long term future of renewables manufacturing on these sites."
The news was welcomed by David Torrance, MSP for Kirkcaldy who said he was "overjoyed" and added: "I have to thank everybody that around the table."

Small Water Treatment Company
In the Spring of 2010, the Ben Franklin Technology Partnership CNP engaged with a small water treatment company located in Franklin, PA. The company had developed a new method for treating the frac water effluent from Marcellus wells that dramatically reduced the amount of dissolved solids in the water. Presently, most of this waste water is diluted to an acceptable level by discharging it into a larger water flow like a river. At the moment, the scale of Marcellus activity, which has not yet reached its peak, is approaching the limit of available water flows to dilute the water to safe, acceptable levels. Without another approach, the waste water will have to be transported to other areas, stored, or treated with expensive methods.
This company in Franklin may have found at least a partial solution to this problem. They remove the solids in a separate treatment and disposal process, leaving much "cleaner" water that requires a substantially smaller volume of water to dilute for discharge. If the technology proves feasible, it could greatly expand the amount of drilling that existing water supplies in the Commonwealth could support, i.e. allowing more of this "cleaned" frac water be introduced into waterways without harming the environment or exceeding safety limits. Presently, the company has the technology working on bench scale. Ben Franklin is assisting the company in moving to pilot scale by sponsoring the development of a pilot plant and verification testing of the resulting products and waste water.

In Mother's Eyes
In mother's eyes
When I was little and in the form of devil
Defiance shaped me in my glare back,
A pot of boiling anger spilling over.
Now I know how mother must have felt,
How hard her life was and I was to raise.
Now I know how I am the fruit of her
Sacrifices and sufferings I'd never overcome,
Following like shadows even after sundown.
Yet I can only be grateful to accept this miracle
Of a life I try to live fully each and every single day:
To be happy is the greatest payback and compliment
In mother's eyes.

Lebanese Parliament Delays Elections to November 2014
Lebanon's Parliament has voted to extend its mandate and delay elections scheduled for June after failing to adopt a new electoral law.
The motion for a 17-month extension was passed unanimously by the 98 members of the 128-seat house who attended on Friday. It said the delay was due to "the security situation in several Lebanese regions that gives rise to political escalation and division which often take on confessional forms".
Fuad Siniora, the opposition head in parliament, said: "We were forced to vote on this bad project to avoid a vacuum and after unrest in several regions and the serious negative development" of Hezbollah's involvement in the Syria conflict.
Amid the months-long delay over a new electoral law, Prime Minister Tamman Salam, who was named on 6 April, has been unable to form a new Government because of divisions over Syria.

A former part-time secretary for the Susquehanna Department of Veterans Affairs may pursue sexual harassment and discrimination claims against the county and her ex-boss, even though she never reported the former boss's alleged unwanted sexual advances toward her, a federal appeals court has ruled.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit on July 3 ruled that the plaintiff did not have to pursue remedies established by Susquehanna County in order to prosecute a claim.
Third Circuit Judges Marjorie Rendell, Joseph Greenaway Jr. and Julio Fuentes overturned a decision by U.S. District Judge Robert Mariani of the Middle District of Pennsylvania, sitting in Harrisburg, who dismissed the lawsuit filed by plaintiff Sheri Minarsky.
Mariani had ruled that Susquehanna County had an adequate policy in place to deal with sexual harassment complaints, and that Minarsky had failed to take advantage of that policy.
Rendell, writing for the Third Circuit, noted Minarsky's explanation that she feared termination if she complained about the alleged actions of her supervisor, Thomas Yadlosky, at a time when she needed the income to pay for her child's medical bills.
In her complaint, Minarsky claims Yadlosky repeatedly kissed her, made sexual advances toward her, and demanded to know where she was when she was away from the office.
Because of his behavior toward other women, Yadlosky eventually was reprimanded, and then fired, even though Minarsky never made a formal complaint to the county supervisors, according to the decision.
In a footnote, Rendell noted that companies and government agencies have, over the years, adopted policies aimed at addressing sexual harassment in the workplace, but added that those efforts may not be enough.
"There may be a certain fallacy that underlies the notion that reporting sexual misconduct will end it," she said.
Mariani had based his ruling on two 1998 U.S. Supreme Court rulings: Faragher v. Boca Raton and Burlington Industries v. Ellerth. In those rulings, the court said employers generally would be shielded from liability in sexual harassment and discrimination cases if they had policies and corrective procedures in place.
But Rendell said that standard may no longer be sufficient.
"The cornerstone of this analysis is reasonableness: the reasonableness of the employer's preventive and corrective measures, and the reasonableness of the employee's efforts (or lack thereof) to report misconduct and avoid further harm," Rendell said.
In this case, Rendell said, there was enough of a dispute that the issue should not have been decided on summary judgment.
"Was the policy in place effective? Knowing of [Yadlosky's] behavior … should someone have ensured that she was not being victimized? Was his termination not so much a reflection of the policy's effectiveness, but rather, did it evidence the county's exasperation, much like the straw that broke the camel's back?" Rendell said.
"We do not answer these questions, but conclude that there exists enough of a dispute of material facts as to whether the county 'exercised reasonable care to prevent and correct promptly any sexually harassing behavior,'" Rendell said, quoting Faragher.
"Here, Minarsky identified instances where asserting herself rendered her work conditions even more hostile," Rendell said. "Presented with these facts, a reasonable jury could find that Minarsky's fear of aggravating her work environment was sufficiently specific, rather than simply a generalized, unsubstantiated fear."
Minarsky eventually quit her job, even after Yadlosky was fired, the court noted.
Minarsky's attorney, David Koller, said he welcomed the ruling.
"She's brave for pursuing this," said Koller, who heads a firm in Philadelphia. "This is a significant ruling for victims of sexual harassment. The county did have a policy in place, but it wasn't effective."
Dana Zlotucha of Kreder Brooks Hailstone in Scranton represented Susquehanna County. Gerald Hanchulak, who heads a firm in Clarks Summit, represented Yadlosky. Neither returned a call seeking comment.
