Headmaster's Newsletter
Dear Parents,
First quarter almost over. Going quickly!
Foothill Off-Ramp Closure
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has advised us that the westbound I-210 (Foothill Freeway) Berkshire Place on-ramp and Foothill Boulevard off-ramp will be closed for up to 45 days beginning October 30. The closures will remain in effect through November. We've temporarily changed our drop-off schedule. Students can arrive as early as 7:15 in the morning, and the library will be open. Here are some additional suggestions.
- Allow an additional 30 minutes of travel time to campus during peak times.
- Consider your route carefully depending on the time of day and your location. Consult Google Maps for alternative routes.
- Use the Berkshire and Angeles Crest Highway off-ramps if you're heading west. The Gould and Berkshire off-ramps heading east will be open.
- If you can take surface streets to get to and from campus, you may want to avoid the freeway altogether.
- Carpooling is always strongly encouraged.
Caltrans will never close two off-ramps in the same direction at the same time. The westbound Berkshire off-ramp, which is currently closed, will reopen on or around October 27.

Welcome to the misty water coloured memories of the experience that is networked gaming
In the beginning..
Before the light there was the Amiga A500, a quality gaming machine, then came the PC a Viglen 386 Sx 16mhz with a turbo button! (20mhz). One of the first games I played on this was good old elite. My bro then bought a modem and found out about a local BBS that you could dial up to for free during off peak hours called GamesNet BBS. You had to have a cable phone because BT don't give much away for free. At first we just used the IRC to talk to Americans this was kind of novel at the time. Soon we learned that you could play games against other BBS'ers using something called Kali, this gave birth to Command & Conquer battles over the BBS.
Whilst chatting to some of the techies on the BBS we learned that it was possible to connect several PC's together at home and form a home network. Not long after this my bro was invited to a 4pc LAN game of command & conquer owned by a dude who ran another BBS his nick was IronHammer. Anyway when he got back from the 24hr gaming marathon he was raving about how mad 2 vs 2 CnC was so as we had a couple of pc's and also knew a few more peeps who also had them it was time to take a step into the unknown and setup our own network.
After chatting some more with the techies on the BBS we learned that every Saturday morning in the Tottenham Ct road area there were a number of computer fairs where goodies like network cards could be purchased at knock down prices. I think £80 secured enough cards, cable and terminators to setup the Lan. After some swearing and fiddling the first Token ring Lan in our house was up and running, there was no going back.
What followed can only be described as multi player madness, once the word got round that we had four player C&C up and running all our friends came over and a mammoth 48 hr non stop weekend gaming session ensued, the first of many such weekends. 4 player command and conquer provided some amazing spectacles, people falling asleep on the keyboard only to be replaced by someone else keen to get in on the action. I don't think any game since has created that level of amazement and addiction. The only thing that would stop us from playing on was sheer exhaustion.
Well some months later the rumors were doing the rounds that Westwood were going to release a new game 'Red Alert' the rumors also said that this baby was going to support up to 8 players at once. This lead to a little head scratching, our current computer room (the upstairs lounge) didn't have the capacity to take another four machines and we weren't sure where we were going to find another four pc's anyway, but in the immortal words of Bull Durham… 'Build it and they will come.' we set about extending the network upstairs. Sure enough the game came out and eventually we sampled the 8 player insanity that was CnC Red Alert.
With the advent of internet online gaming the need to construct a huge lan at home wained, nowadays we still have the techno shed but it usually only has four machines and sometimes a couple of guest pooters that friends bring round. The favourite games are Counter Strike, UO and Mankind.

Newsroom24x7 Desk
Seattle, Washington : Wildfires breaking in Okanogan Complex have topped the data sheet and have been declared as the biggest wildfire in state history. The Okanogan complex and Chelan complex fires both soared this Monday and continues to spread haywire. The smoke laden Monday morning posed a trouble state of affairs for the firefighter aircraft.
Although slightly contained over the past weeks, the Okanogan complex wildfires advanced about 13,000 acres of distance in 24 hours this Sunday. Spreading as wide as 2,56,567 acres of total wildfire area covered till this Monday makes this group of wildfire the biggest in state history till date.
With bone-dry days ahead, the wildfire is expected to consume more than thousands of acres of range and forest in the coming time zone. Eight communities are still at Level 3 evacuations, and sleepless residents have been forced to leave the area and move to inner safer zones.
According to governmental fire monitoring website, the Chelan complex has burned 2,56,108 acres of forest range already. In both complex localities, houses have been gutted down, electricity is unavailable and roads are laden with burnt offerings.
A fire weather warning has been issued in the areas for today. US soldiers are working day in and day out and coordinating with fire fighting teammates and trying to contain the effects as much as they can. Last week, three firefighters were killed and four injured while trying to carry out relief operations.

Have you ever wondered what life was like in Jacksonville half a century ago? It was a different era of history, culture and politics but there are often parallels between the kind of stories that made headlines then and today. As interesting as the differences may be, so are the similarities. These are some of the top stories from this week in 1966. The items were compiled from the Jacksonville Public Library's periodical archives by Staff Writer Max Marbut.
• In Washington, D.C., the Federal Trade Commission clamped a virtual freeze on further acquisitions and mergers by two of the nation's largest food firms.
In separate consent orders, the commission banned Jacksonville-based Winn-Dixie Stores Inc. and American Bakeries Co. of Chicago from acquiring more companies in the same line of business for 10 years without prior approval from the commission.
The orders were for settlement purposes only and did not constitute an admission by either firm of any wrongdoing, the commission said.
The FTC held that mergers and acquisitions were responsible in large part for the concentration in the grocery and wholesale bakery industries.
Both orders stemmed from commission complaints against two acquisitions by Winn-Dixie and one by the bakery.
In the Winn-Dixie complaint, the commission charged anti-trust violations in the 1962 acquisition of Hill Grocery Co. Inc., a 35-store chain with headquarters in Birmingham, Ala., and the 1964 acquisition of nine grocery stores operated in Birmingham by Colonial Stores Inc. of Atlanta.
In addition to lessening competition in local Alabama markets, the complaint said the two acquisitions contributed to the overall trend for concentration in the food and grocery store industries.
Winn-Dixie President Burt Thomas said the ruling would have no effect on the company's operations, potential profits or growth.
He said since past mergers and acquisitions were not affected, the consent order had the "principal, practical effect" of clearing past acquisitions from future challenges.
"Winn-Dixie has completed the best year in its history from the standpoint of sales and earnings and we expect the trend to continue," Thomas said.
The commission reported Winn-Dixie was seventh in sales among U.S. grocery chains in 1966, with receipts of $905 million, and as of July 27, operated 631 retail stores.
• Justice Davis of 1512 W. 35th St. said goodbye to Room 367 as a nurse prepared to roll him down the hall and through the front door of Brewster Methodist Hospital.
When the door closed, the final chapter was written in the hospital's history, as Davis was the last patient to be released from the facility.
Marcus Drews, hospital administrator, said much of the staff already had left and more would leave after Davis departed, ending with a closing crew of about 25.
The decision to close the hospital, which served the African-American community before the Civil Rights Act of 1964 opened all hospitals to all patients, was made by the Methodist Board of Missions because of increasingly fewer patients and a rising monthly deficit.
• Mayor Lou Ritter promised he would make "every effort" to secure a $25 monthly clothing allowance for police officers, effective Oct. 1.
Ritter, however, refused to commit himself to a proposed $51.50 monthly pay raise for the officers, including those on the night watch.
Issuing a stern warning against a threatened police march on City Hall or adoption of a "no-see policy" toward minor violations of law, Ritter also revealed Assistant Chief R.R. Blanton would replace 36 men who were on the night watch, effective Nov. 1.
Ritter, Blanton, Police Chief L.A. Reynolds and representatives of the Fraternal Order of Police met with officers of the night watch, who demanded the clothing allowance and pay raise and that they be returned to shift rotations.
"Disciplinary action will be taken. I'm not worried about getting additional help to keep the situation in hand," Ritter said as he warned the officers against taking overt action.
On another matter, Ritter, backed by his Airport Advisory Committee, asked City Council for $6,000 for the development of a plan to use Imeson Airport as an industrial park after Jacksonville International Airport opened.
The new airport was under construction and scheduled to open in 1968.
If council approved, the plan would be drawn up by Barbour & Cooper of Asheville, N.C. The firm was the consulting planner for the Jacksonville-Duval Area Planning Board.
"Development of a first-class industrial park would add greatly to the chamber of commerce sales package for the Jacksonville area," said James Lumpkins, an advisory committee member.
• A City Council special committee began the process of searching for a new name for Dallas Thomas Park and Marina.
The committee was appointed after a group of veterans asked council to dedicate the park along the south bank of the St. Johns River Downtown as a memorial to the nation's war dead.
A move to eliminate the names of living people from city facilities started after several city officials were indicted by the Duval County grand jury on charges of grand larceny and perjury.
Thomas resigned as city commissioner after he was indicted.
Also proposed was removing council member Lemuel Sharp's name from a new public library in Northwest Jacksonville.
Sharp was at the meeting and said he would not oppose removal of his name from the facility.
Council member Laverne Reynolds said he would ask the Duval County Legislative Delegation to amend the City Charter to provide a simple means to remove from office any official indicted by a grand jury.
During its 1966 investigation of city affairs, the grand jury indicted, in addition to Thomas, council members Cecil Lowe and W.O. Mattox Jr.; George Robinson Sr., former director of the city Recreation Department; and former city Auditor John Hollister, who resigned after being indicted.
"I strongly feel that this will safeguard future generations and officials in the city from any delay of removal and close a legal loophole. This can only serve the best interest of our city government and community," Reynolds said.
In a letter to council, Tom Slade, Republican candidate for state Senate, applauded Reynolds' proposal.
He said if he was elected, he would introduce legislation calling for prompt removal from office of any public official who was indicted by a grand jury.
"I was exceedingly grateful for your forthright stand. Obviously, the community cannot prosper under the direction of public officials who do not enjoy public trust," Slade wrote.
• The Jacksonville Beach City Council approved a proposal under which the Union News Co. of New York would complete and operate an oceanfront restaurant to be built by the city.
The firm offered the only bid to operate the restaurant and the council agreed to accept the offer as soon as Union News confirmed in writing it would assume a $128,500 share of the construction cost.
Once the contract was signed, council would approve another deal with O.P. Woodcock Co. of Jacksonville to build the restaurant at a cost of $303,300 with the city covering the balance after Union News' contribution.
Woodcock submitted the low bid, but the city wanted to be sure it had an operator before awarding the construction contract.
Union News indicated it would spend about $400,000 to complete, furnish and equip the restaurant. It also would pay the city a percentage of gross sales from the operation.
• Jacksonville University's golf course was dedicated with guests introduced by college President Robert Spiro and Guy Botts, chairman of the board of trustees.
Presentation of the nine-hole, par-3 course by Athletic Director Rollie Rourke was followed by a ribbon-cutting with Alexander Brest wielding the scissors.
The ceremony ended with a golf exhibition by the foursome of Maurice Walsh, Wes Paxson, John Montgomery and Gary Holmes.
• With backing from the Duval County Democratic Executive Committee, school board nominee Don Wells, who was facing an organized write-in opposition, protested a plan to put his name on a paper ballot for the Nov. 8 general election.
After hearing Wells' protest that he was being discriminated against, the Board of County Commissioners asked Supervisor of Elections Robert Mallard and County Attorney J. Henry Blount to consult the Florida secretary of state and attorney general to determine if it would be legal to use two voting machines so all candidates' names could be listed on the machines.
Before Wells lodged his protest, Mallard advised the board there wasn't enough room on one machine for all general election candidates.
Therefore, he said, the names of six unopposed Democrats — three school board candidates and three county civil service board candidates — would have to go on paper ballots.
Mallard said the precise order in which the names of candidates would appear on the official ballot was spelled out in a 1965 amendment to the election code adopted by the Legislature.
Under that law, the order was county commissioners, school board and civil service board.
• The 1966 NFL season opened with the Dallas Cowboys defeating the New York Giants 52-7.
It was noted that quarterback "Dandy" Don Meredith threw for 358 yards and five touchdowns.
Jacksonville's own "Bullet" Bob Hayes, generally regarded as "the world's fastest human," was Meredith's chief target. He caught six passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns.

Hi everyone!
Thank you for checking out this portable Bluetooth + WiFi speaker build I have come up with. As always I will have the laser-cut plans, the wiring diagram and the whole parts and tools list in the steps below. Make sure you check my YouTube video first and then come back for more details. Let's get started!
Step 1: Plans
For this build it is necessary to get the plywood panels laser cut. Since I do not own a laser-cutter myself, I outsourced a few people from a local company that were able to laser cut the plywood pieces out for me. You can find the Laser Cut Plans below. It is possible that the scale of the drawing might be messed up, so just for reference - the diameter of the hole next to the Bluetooth and WiFi logo on the back panel is supposed to be 1.8 millimeters. Those holes are for the LEDs. You should receive 5 different plywood panels - two front panels, two back panels and the enclosure template. Also, there is a plywood disc included in the plans which you should take care not to lose. It is for the volume control potentiometer. Same goes for a circle cutout near the battery logo - it will be used as a button.
Since the tweeters that I used are no longer for sale, I updated the plans for the speaker accordingly.
I have also included the wiring diagram which you can download or print but make sure you zoom in for a better and clearer view. Let's start the build!
Step 2: Parts and Tools
For this speaker I decided to try implementing not only Bluetooth 4.0 but also a WiFi module. Here I am using the Up2Stream WiFi module which is super easy to use and delivers great sound quality at a reasonable price. There is also an Aux input which when plugged in automatically disables the Bluetooth or WiFi input letting us make a simpler and cleaner looking speaker with less buttons and switches which is always pleasing to get rid of.
The speaker is powered by three Lithium Ion 18650 cells connected in series, resulting in 12.6 Volts total and a capacity of around 3Ah. The cells are being monitored by a Battery Management System (BMS) which I will show in depth of how to connect it to the cells. After testing I can confirm that these cells are able to provide the necessary power for around 6-8 hours depending on the volume.
For the amplifier I chose one of my favorite Class D amplifiers - the Yamaha YDA138-E. It delivers plenty of power in to the drivers with plenty of bass and clear highs. One of the best features of this amplifier is that there is absolutely no audible noise being projected when the speaker is not playing. I have tried many Class D amplifier and I can truly say that this one is top of the range in it's price point.
For the Bluetooth module I chose the KRC-86B Bluetooth 4.0 audio receiver. Nowadays there are many boards superior to this one but it still performs great, delivers unobstructed sound and connects instantly to the streaming device.

Step 3: Let's Start With the Enclosure
I chose the main building material for the enclosure to be 12mm MDF. You can also use plywood instead and skip the painting step and still achieve a great looking result. But for this speaker I chose the MDF since I wanted a gloss painted finish. The overall width of the enclosure needs to be at least 70mm wide therefore my intention was to cut out 6 layers of 12mm MDF resulting in a width of around 72 millimeters give or take.
I used a relatively large sheet of MDF and traced around the template 6 times making sure to leave a gap between each template tracing to allow for the jigsaw blade to cut out the pieces without interference to other pieces. It is important to trace the outside and the inside of the template. It is not necessary though to be exact with the tracing since we will adjust the lines and the curves with a router later.
Once the tracing has been done, I took a forstner bit and drilled in every corner of the traced out template making sure to stay a bit away from the inside lines. It is important to drill only halfway through to avoid any tear out on the other side. Once all the corners have been drilled halfway through, I took a drill bit and drilled all the way through to the other side. I then flipped the sheet around and used the forstner bit again to drill out the holes completely leaving me with smooth edges around.
Step 4: Cutting Out the Enclosure Pieces
For this step the best tool is a jigsaw to cut the enclosure pieces out. Take care not to cut into the line, we need to stay as close to the line as possible without cutting past it. Once the cutting is done, we are left with 6 pieces (or less, depending on the thickness of your material) of the rough template copy. Next steps will take care of the roughness and will make it more pleasant to hold.
Step 5: Router Work
This step starts by placing pieces of double-sided adhesive tape around the perimeter of the enclosure template, making sure it is stuck on well. Once the backing is removed from the tape, it is carefully stuck to the MDF piece we just cut out with decent force applied to get on there real good. It is important to stick the plywood template so that the rough edges are not in the area of the plywood template.
I then loaded a flush trim bit in to my router and started routing. A lot of nasty MDF dust will be made so make sure you use a dust collection system and a dust mask. You don't want to breathe this stuff in!
Once the flush trim router bit has gone through all the edges around, we are left with a smooth finish around. We have now copied the plywood template on to the MDF piece with nothing more than a router.
My router bit did slip under the plywood template a few times taking a bit of the material here and there therefore you can see that the edges have imperfections here and there. That is not worry about since I will take care of that later.
After a bit of work later, with the template removed, 6 pieces are now complete and are ready for glue up.
Step 6: Glue Up
To glue the MDF layers together I used Titebond III which is a great type of glue for this application since the glue is waterproof. You can also use plain wood glue, of course. Here I am making sure to spread the glue around each layer evenly. Don't be afraid to use too much glue, the excess can always be wiped off.
Stacking the layers on top is simple, just have to make sure to keep the aligned to each other and remove the excess glue from the inside and outside. Once the layers have all been stacked on top of each other, I put two boards on each side of the enclosure and clamped it well until the glue has dried. You can also use a few weights instead of clamps.
Step 7: Filling in the Imperfections
Since I will be spray painting the enclosure in gloss white, I need the enclosure to be as smooth as possible since every dent and imperfection will show through the clear coat.
Here I am mixing the same MDF sawdust with wood glue to make a filler which I will use to fill in any imperfections on the MDF.
Once the filler has fully dried it was time for sanding and smoothing the enclosure. It is not necessary to take much time on the inside of the speaker since it will not be seen later. I used a belt sander to smooth out the edges and curves on the enclosure. A sanding block can also be used but it would result in a good workout rather than an effective sanding procedure.
Once the enclosure has been fully sanded I applied the same filler once again to fill in any small spots that have appeared. Once that filler is sanded down, the enclosure is now really smooth to the touch.
Step 8: Preparing the Panels
To prepare the laser-cut panels we first need to sand any burn marks that were left from the laser. I used a random orbital sander to quickly take off the burn marks from the panels. Of course, plain sandpaper can also be used.
Once the panels were smooth I sprayed them with a few coats of clear lacquer sanding in between the dried layers of clear lacquer to remove any burrs or bubbles. That way we will achieve a smooth and glossy finish.
I then applied a thin layer of wood glue on a panel and glued it together. You can see in the pictures how the panels need to be glued together. It is important to make sure that the panels are very well aligned so take care of that as best as you can.
As you can see I should have applied the wood glue on the face panel instead rather than the backing of the front panel. But it is not a huge problem.
Step 9: More Router Work
Once the enclosure has fully dried of the fillers and glue, I used a roundover bit to give a round egde to the enclosure. I made a very light pass on one side of the enclosure and a deeper pass, removing more material on the front side of the enclosure. Once that was done, I used some sandpaper to remove any rough edges left by the router.
Step 10: More Drilling
I then put the back panel in place and drilled the holes for the screws that will hold the back panel with a small drill bit.
I also drilled a hole on the right side of the enclosure for the main switch using a 20 millimeter forstner bit.
A recess was also drilled for the plywood disc to stay in place. For that I drilled 3mm deep into the enclosure with a forstner bit the size of the plywood disc. I then used a smaller forstner bit to drill all the way through, leaving a lip around the hole for the disc to rest on. The plywood disc was then glued in place and sanded down with filler applied to the edges to fill in any gaps.
I then drilled four holes on the bottom of the enclosure for the rubber feet. It is a good idea to do this step before painting the enclosure since these holes will come in handy when painting.
Step 11: Preparing for Paint
To paint the enclosure with the color of choice, first of all we need to tackle the tricky nature of MDF panels which is its ability to absorb lots of liquid including paint that contacts its surface. In order to achieve a nice paint finish on the MDF we need to create a thick layer or a coat that would not absorb the paint in to the pores. Since I could not source a simple sealant for MDF in my country, I went with a 50-50 mixture of water and Titebond III waterproof glue. I chose Titebond III since it is used for outdoor use and will not be penetrated by liquids. I simply mixed the two and brushed a thick coat of it on the MDF enclosure and then let it thoroughly dry overnight in room temperature. Don't be afraid to apply a thick coat of it, the deeper it penetrates in to the MDF - the better.
Once the sealer has fully dried, I used some 200-400 grit sandpaper to rough up the surface for the primer coat to bite into.
Step 12: Painting the Enclosure
To begin the painting process I used a paper towel and paint thinner to remove any oils or residue on the surface of the enclosure. Once the enclosure is clean of any contaminants, I sprayed a few light coats of grey primer. Note the screws on the bottom side - that is why we drilled the rubber feet mounting holes before painting - we can now use a few screws as stands for the enclosure when painting. I am also holding the enclosure by a bolt that I ran through the potentiometer mounting hole.
After the primer coats have fully dried overnight, I wet sanded the surface with 400 grit sandpaper and a spray bottle full of water.
I then applied a few thick coats of gloss white and once that was dry, I applied a few coats of clear lacquer. After that I let the enclosure dry for a few days until the paint thinner smell was gone.
Step 13: Gluing in the Passive Radiators
On this speaker build I used three passive radiators in total since the are of these three passive radiators is double the size of the are of the woofer cone.
To glue the passive radiators in place I used two component epoxy glue which I spread around the edge of the plywood panel. I then carefully put the passive radiators in place and leaving the epoxy to cure for a few hours.
Step 14: The Battery Pack
Since I have included all the information on the wiring in the video and the wiring diagram, I will not go into much detail. Therefore I would like to provide more information about the battery pack since for most people the wiring of the battery pack is a mystery.
To build a high-power rechargeable battery pack we need three main components - Lithium Ion cells, a BMS and a power source for charging.
For the Lithium Ion cells I chose three units of NCR18650PF cells with a capacity of around 2.8Ah each. These have been used for quite some time, that is why their capacity is lower.
Since we are aiming for a voltage of around 12 Volts for the amplifier, we will be using a 3S (three cells in series) BMS (battery management system). The BMS board is a crucial component of the battery pack since it will be controlling the charging and the discharging of the battery, making sure that all the cells stay balanced and protected from short-circuits, over discharging and many other risks.
You can see a picture of the wiring diagram for the battery pack. It is really simple and easy to do. Many people are afraid to solder 18650 cells but in my experience of soldering many of these - it is safe if you take care doing it. The main point is to heat the cell when soldering for as little time as possible - therefore using a high power soldering iron and plenty of flux will do the job easily.
So to build the battery pack I laid the cells opposite to each other and glued them together with hot glue. I then stuck a piece of double sided tape on each cell ant stuck the BMS on top, making sure that the B- terminal is aligned to the negative terminal of the first cell, and the B+ terminal is facing the positive terminal of the third cell. The rest of the wiring can be seen in the pictures above.
Once the soldering is done, I protected the contacts with Kapton tape just to be safe from ant short-circuits.
Step 15: Mounting the Components
For this project I decided to use something more professional than hot glue to mount the components in place. It may be a bit of an overkill for mounting the electronics, but I used brass standoffs which were held in place by screws from the other side. That the components can be put on the standoffs and screwed down with hex nuts making them stay in place really well.
Once the components are in place, it looks like an absolute mess but almost everything is now connected!
Important: one of the main goals of this build is to make the speaker airtight. Therefore it is necessary to apply glue where air might leak through. For example - around the battery level indicator switch, the Aux port, the Bluetooth/WiFi switch and the LEDs.
I then glued the small plywood cutout for the battery level indicator switch using a small blob of two component epoxy glue.
Step 16: Gluing the Front Panel
Spreading some wood glue around the edge of the front panel and putting the enclosure on top of it. Make sure to spread some glue with your finger around the inside where the enclosure meets the front panel to seal any gaps. I then place a few weights on top and left it to fully dry.
Step 17: Paint Finish
After the paint has fully dried we can inspect the result. As we can see, even without polishing it has a high gloss that I was looking for. Under a bright light, a few imperfections are still visible but as I mentioned in the video - I will live with that. To be honest I am quite please with the paint finish result.
Step 18: Attaching the Rubber Feet
We can now attach the rubber feet to the underside of the enclosure. It can now stand on its own!
Step 19: Mounting the Woofers and Tweeters
It is now the long-waited moment of mounting the speaker drivers in place.
To mount the tweeters I simply spread some PVA glue around the edge and press fit the tweeters in place. Since they are a tight fit, I do not need to worry of the falling out anytime soon. I love the way they sit flush in the panel.
Since the woofers have a foam gasket installed, I simply bolted them down with a bolt and a nylon nut from the other side, making the woofer stay in place really well.
I soldered the speaker wires coming from the amplifier to the speaker drivers before installing them on to the panel.
Step 20: Few More Things to Do
Just a few more tasks left - such as mounting the main switch in place and securing it in place with a nut from the other side on the inside. I also mounted the volume potentiometer by scewing it in place with the supplied nut and placing the potentiometer knob.
Step 21: Last Step!
Finally we can screw the back panel in place and we are done!
Step 22: Setting Up the Speaker
All that is left to do is to charge the speaker, check the battery level with the battery level indicator we wired up and we can now connect!
As I said the speaker can play through Bluetooth, WiFi or Aux. For the demo I chose to stream a few tunes through Bluetooth. As I stated before, once the Aux is connected to the stereo jack, the Bluetooth and WiFi are disconnected without any additional switches. The WiFi audio streaming can be enabled through an app, you can find more information on how to connect it HERE.
Step 23: Final Thoughts
I have to say - I am happy the way this speaker has turned out. My apologies for the crappy sound test on the video but you will have to take my word for it - not only does it look decent but it sounds good too! I did make a few flaws here and there when building the speaker but hey - at least I learned something! And I truly hope you did too! Thank you so much for checking this project out, I hope I inspired you to build a speaker of your own. And if you are still hesitating - do it! It is super rewarding and the knowledge you get by making it is priceless. Not to mention the fun!
Thank you once again for tuning in to this project of mine and I will see you on the next one!

What if I want to make this kind of speaker, and I didn't want to include the WiFi and build with only Bluetooth and Aux, hope it will not affect the speaker?
I am trying to build your WAAY cool speaker but It seems the amp is not working or I am doing something wrong :-(
The amp board is getting 12v and the light turns on but if I plug my phone in via the audio jack and play audio no sound come through the speakers.
Any ideas please
I know many people don't care, but remember that MDF contains carcinogenic materials that you expose yourself to when you cut and driill it. But Hey, why worry about your future health.
Even untreated natural wood dust causes cancer, use the proper safety equipment and live your life.
Thanks for the comment! If MDF would be that poisonous, I don't think that much furniture worldwide would be made out of it. Anyway, I always remind people to use a dust mask and a dust collection system to stay away from the dust.
You've specified 6ohm speaker and linked 4ohm - typo?
1. Why using isolated converter and not single dc-dc unit only?
2.1 Why mono input and not output? Your whole audio chain is mono (not just woofers), so why not using mono-amp?
2.2 Cancelling only happens if both are playing the same signal with opposite phases.
3. Why ground loop isolator is before bluetooth and not before the amp? Or does not matter as the ground is common?
4. Why no soft material used inside?
Hi there verry nice disign and quality,
But there is somthing i don't understand about this electronic schematic,
the 3,5 jack audio input is connected to 12 volt directly that also goes to bt audio input ?
is this specifically for a reason?
Hi! Since I am using a stereo jack with an inner switch, I connect the wires as in the diagram to shut off the voltage coming in to the WiFi and Bluetooth modules once an Aux cable is plugged in.
Nice project and well documented:) Compared to your Insanely Loud BT speaker, how does this one compare in volume?
Thank you so much! It stand no chance with the other speaker that I have built, since they have totally different woofers compared in size and capability. But this smaller speaker still performs really well and is really loud for its size.
So, I have a few questions...hopefully you can help with them...
1. i've got a good source on 9900mah cells, and would like to do a 9 cell pack rather than a 3 cell, to provide much greater capacity (3S6P if memory serves), will the same battery management circuit work fine?
2. Why use a passive radiator?
3. Does the wifi module you used support Apple's Airplay?
4. If something is connected to Bluetooth does the wifi atill work?
5. Can the wifi module connect to an existing network rather than creating its own?
Hi! I will try to do my best to answer these.
1. I would doubt the capacity of your "9900mah" cells, since the highest capacity 18650 cells available are of 3600mah if I remember correctly. A 9 cell pack would give you a 3S3P configuration (not a 3S6P). The same BMS will work fine but you have to make sure that the cells in parallel groups are relatively close in capacity and internal resistance.
2. A passive radiator is used to extend the bass response of the woofer.
3. Yes, it does support Airplay.
4. No, either the WiFi or Bluetooth is on if Aux is not plugged in.
5. Yes, the WiFi module will need to connect to your existing WiFi network in order to stream music.
I hope I helped!
Thank You! I'm glad I could help.
This looks very Nice, i think i will do my own speaker like this but maby with some tweeks.
Just one question, why would you go mono from bluetooth modual instead of stereo? Both the amp and The bluetooth takes stereo right?
Thanks for sharing
Hi! Thank you very much for checking out my project and leaving a nice comment. Appreciated! Since the woofers are not separated in any way - by that I mean they both move the same air volume inside the enclosure, it is necessary that the woofers receive a mono signal, since a stereo signal would produce different movement in each speaker, resulting in cancelling each other out and not producing the needed tones effectively.
Usually, bass is the same signal and in phase and works fine. You could have put a mono-stereo switch, or had a single woofer and amp with separate mid-tweets. Or, just separate tweeters. Splitting the signals before amplification eliminates the need for the crossovers, too.
OH yes you are total right, i dident have that in mind. Thanks for the answer.
No problem! I'm glad I could help :)
Looks great! Thanks for sharing! What do you think the project cost you, all total, in the end?

Ontario landlords are required to follow certain guidelines that restrict evictions and rent increases. However, reports say some landlords in Ontario are using a loophole to evict tenants on the grounds that they or their family members are moving in. While some may think this might seem like a good way to resolve landlord and tenant issues, evicting a tenant on fraudulent grounds can have serious consequences.
The eviction notice for a tenant being removed so the landlord can personally use a property is referred to as an L2 application. Since 2017, 1936 such applications have been filed according to Social Justice Tribunals Ontario. While some are legitimate, others are accused of stretching the truth about a property's future lease to remove a tenant and increase the rent.
One former adjudicator at the Landlord and Tenant Board estimates that about half of these notices are in bad faith. However, he blames a misunderstanding of the law rather than malice on the part of an owner for most of these incidents. Additionally, many condo owners end up trapped in a bind when condo fees increase at a higher rate than rates are allowed to each year.
When landlord and tenant issues emerge, both parties should understand their rights and options. This can often help prevent illegal eviction situations and help tenants to stand up for their rights when an eviction is attempted. If a person is evicted on the grounds of personal use and finds out the property has been re-rented, compensation may be sought from the landlords through the Landlord and Tenant Board. Landlords and tenants seeking legal advice related to Ontario regulations and evictions should speak with an experienced licensed paralegal at Carr Law before filing an L2 application or responding to a corresponding eviction.

IB Programme ramping up in Pearland schools
Margo Gigee is leading the district as it transitions to the expanded program
Pearland school trustees recently agreed to expand the International Baccalaureate program, putting in place a feeder pattern in the district at a cost of $2.6 million.
The IB Diploma Programme is designed to provide the tools for students to successfully land and succeed in college. It is taught in 2,075 schools and in 125 countries around the world.
The person heading up this transition in Pearland schools is Margo Gigee, director of advanced academics and International Baccalaureate Programmes.
With almost 30 years experience in advanced academics, Gigee recently was selected Regional Advocate of the Year for Gifted Students by the Texas Association for the Gifted and Talented.
The award recognizes her support of gifted education among key administrators and policymakers.
She shared her thoughts in a response to e-mail questions from reporter Robert Stanton.
Q: What schools will be impacted by the expansion of the IB program in Pearland schools?
A: The elementary campuses are Massey Ranch, Cockrell, Magnolia and Shadycrest.
The other campuses are Jamison, Alexander, Pearland Junior East and Pearland Junior High South, and a diploma program at Dawson High School.
Q: How much will be needed to staff the program districtwide for the 2008-09 school year?
A: We estimate the range for the six positions to be $140,000-$200,000, depending on the levels and years of experience of the applicants who fill the positions.
Q: What are the new positions?
A: Some of the new positions are part-time, and some full-time.
We will hire two primary program coordinators, two Spanish instructors, two middle school coordinators and a secretary position.
The secretary position may be added sooner in order to facilitate program implementation.
There will be more positions as the program grows.
Q: Will training be provided to the new teachers?
A: All teachers at the nine campuses will receive training.
So far, 300 teachers, specialists and administrators have been trained. The levels and training experiences will vary at each level of the program.
Professional staff development and curriculum writing are what every good school district does continually.
Q: Is there any teacher resistance to the plan?
A: There is always resistance to anything new.
We have wonderful teachers with experience and expertise and it is important to consider their feelings and provide them with opportunities to learn more about International Baccalaureate.
We want to honor our experienced teachers and keep them in Pearland.
They will have many opportunities to learn about IB and to transfer to another school if they so choose.
So far, we have found that the more teachers learn about IB, the more interested and excited they get about being part of the program.
Q: What is their main argument?
A: Since IB elementary school classes have the same teacher all day, there is a concern about teachers being responsible for multiple state tests instead of just one.
The advantages to having the same group of students all day are many, and may provide teachers with more opportunities to meet individual student needs.
Q: What is the benefit of implementing the IB program districtwide in Pearland ISD?
A: The implementation of International Baccalaureate is the school board's response to the community's request for increased rigor and enrichment in our Pearland schools. The benefits are many: increased student responsibility for learning, in-depth learning opportunities, early learning of a second language, teacher training in best teaching practices, and an increased awareness of vertical and horizontal curriculum alignment for all teachers. We expect IB to raise the level of learning for all students.

Dr Oz Weight Loss Recommendations And The Research On Garcinia Cambogia Pill!

Filed under Health and Fitness
Yeast is a kind of fungus and the most common is candida. If there is an overgrowth of yeast in the body, it can be harmful to your health. Yeast intolerance may happen to any person who has too much sugar intake. Your body produces more yeast and kills the good bacteria. Antibiotics and birth control pills can cause yeast intolerance; these antibiotics may damage or kill the good bacteria that is in control of yeast production. Thus, it may cause overgrowth of yeast in your intestinal tract. Indigestion may also cause yeast intolerance; food, if not properly digested will be fermented and yeast is the by-product of fermentation. When faced with yeasts infections, one way to effectively get rid of them is to control your diet. Specifically the idea is to lessen the intake of food which contains yeasts or food which promotes the growth of yeast.

From multi-million copy bestselling author and winner of the CWA Diamond Dagger award, Peter James, Need You Dead sees Roy Grace faces his most mysterious case yet.
"Peter James has penetrated the inner workings of police procedures, and the inner thoughts and attitudes of real detectives, as no English crime writer before him." The Times
Lorna Belling, desperate to escape the marriage from hell, falls for the charms of another man who promises her the earth. But, as Lorna finds, life seldom follows the plans you've made. A chance photograph on a client's mobile phone changes everything for her.
When the body of a woman is found in a bath in Brighton, Detective Superintendent Roy Grace is called to the scene. At first it looks an open and shut case with a clear prime suspect. Then other scenarios begin to present themselves, each of them tantalisingly plausible, until, in a sudden turn of events, and to his utter disbelief, the case turns more sinister than Grace could ever have imagined.
"Peter James is one of the best crime writers in the business" Karin Slaughter
"James just gets better and better and deserves the success he has achieved with this first-class series" Independent on Sunday
"One of the most consistently readable crime writers" Daily Mail
"Meticulous research gives his prose great authenticity . . . James manages to add enough surprises and drama that by the end you're rooting for the police and really don't know if they will finally get their men" Sunday Express

Principal's Message
Dear Lisbon Central School Parents, Guardians, Students and Community Members,
Welcome back for the 2018-2019 school year at LCS! I am excited to hit the ground running with our Golden Knight students, faculty and staff. The North Country's beautiful weather over the summer has brought wonderful sunlight and positive energy into our classrooms and we are excited to get everyone back in the building!
The 2018-2019 school year offers many terrific opportunities for our students both inside and outside of the classroom. Our Learn to Lead program is celebrating its fourth year in the Adirondacks with both middle and high school students attending the trip. The Positivity Project will be expanding throughout the building this year, empowering students to build positive relationships. We will continue to recognize Students of the Month at both the middle and high school levels, each month having a character theme which also coincides with the Positivity Project. We will be adding Chromebooks and Clear Touch panels in our library as well as our classrooms in an effort to support 1:1 technology use and the incorporation of more advanced means of computer instruction.
Our Wellness Committee will continue to work towards and support the updated policy for the district in conjunction with the Health Initiative, Inc. and our Technology Committee is eagerly awaiting our SMART Schools Bond Act materials to arrive. The After School Program will also maintain the academic support and wonderful opportunities to our students Monday - Thursday from 3:00-4:45.
Thank you for your everlasting support of our students, faculty and staff. We know it takes a village to raise a child; your time, dedication and care for our school community is greatly appreciated. I look forward to seeing you in the building, cheering on our Golden Knights!
Lauren Morley

BBT-9 possible design problem
Poster le 2007-10-06 par BBT-9 BB Tool dumfries. va
BBT-9 is a rare exception to Park Tools record of exceptional bike tools.The BBT-9 is actually two functionally distinct parts. The part i feel has the problem is the one that engages the 8 internal splines of the crank arm adjustment cap. The problems are: used to install. adjust. remove the crank arm adjustment cap. 1- The plastic material used for the working tip of part sheers of very easily in normal course of loosening the cap. 2- The location/mounting design does not permit a good grip when using the part to loosen the cap (unscrew). Often momentary moderate pressure is needed to start release in turning off the cap. The low leverage afforded by the part causes user to press the tool unevenly and imprecisely. resulting in breaking down the shoulder on the spline part ot tool. NOTE: The Shimano design of the cap itself also contributes to this problem. as the female part the wrench engages is too shallow for the tool end to get a good purchase to grip the cap.

|A dust-covered gardenia blooms outside the ER
Even at four degrees south latitude, we experience seasons here in Burundi. October-May is rainy season with a slight pause around the end of January. Roughly June through September is dry season. Grass dries up and the leaves of bushes and trees are covered in a fine layer of very fine dust. Nights can get cold (for us) and sun-soaked days get warm by afternoon.
The beginning of dry season is associated with harvest. First the corn comes in, then the beans, and finally the rice from the better-watered valleys. Families that were starving during the planting-watering season may finally have enough to eat for a few weeks. Those blessed with plots in the lowlands are putting in another crop of vegetables while others are just trying to keep their kids busy during the break in the school year.
From the point of view of the hospital, malaria cases are finally on the decline though respiratory and diarrheal illnesses pick up as temperatures, dust, and water supplies all change in the dry season.
However, we hope that people stay healthy and safe because as dry season drags on, resources get stretched thin. Last week I learned that the HIV program is changing the way it operates due to reduced funding. This last week we had to recommend a patient go to the capital to look for a medicine for his heart because there was none to be found at our hospital or the hospitals in our province. It hurts my heart and made me regret dry season a little bit…then I remembered Number 9:17-23. I quote it at length…
Whenever the cloud lifted from above the tent, the Israelites set out; wherever the cloud settled, the Israelites encamped. At the Lord's command the Israelites set out, and at his command they encamped. As long as the cloud stayed over the tabernacle, they remained in camp. When the cloud remained over the tabernacle a long time, the Israelites obeyed the Lord's order and did not set out. Sometimes the cloud was over the tabernacle only a few days; at the Lord's command they would encamp, and then at his command they would set out. Sometimes the cloud stayed only from evening till morning, and when it lifted in the morning, they set out. Whether by day or by night, whenever the cloud lifted, they set out. Whether the cloud stayed over the tabernacle for two days or a month or a year, the Israelites would remain in camp and not set out; but when it lifted, they would set out. At the Lord's command they encamped, and at the Lord's command they set out. They obeyed the Lord's order, in accordance with his command through Moses.
|One of the waiting room roses showing the strain of dry season
For those familiar with the story, this manifestation of God's presence with the people of Israel while in the Sinai Wilderness (read: desert) had been instrumental in escaping Pharaoh's army at the Red Sea and had led them through the trackless expanse of rock and sand. The desert was, in fact, the place of God's revelation to His people. I notice in that passage how many times it says essentially the same thing: they stopped when the cloud stopped and they moved when it moved. Elsewhere in the Bible God employs an incredible economy of words to convey treatises of truth. Why this repetition?
|Young boys play soccer in the "grassy" field outside the church
The people of Israel, like the people of Burundi, lived day-to-day, at least while they were in the Sinai Wilderness. They, and we, had to pass through this place and time to learn one very important lesson - to become daily aware of God's presence and movement. I think the Burundians can teach me much about this, for they don't seem so bothered by the leaner, drier season. And at least for some of them, this comes from decades of experiencing God's provision even when things looked bleak. Let me give one example:
I rounded on one 80 yr old woman today who thanked me for merely sitting next to her in the morning sunshine while the student presented the case. It was enough of an example to spark a moment of gratitude in my own heart. Of course, stopping to count my blessings immediately resulted in a greater sense of peace and security - like this dry season contains blessings yet undiscovered. It seems that this octogenarian had likely read Deuteronomy 8:4, recording God's words to Israel as they approached the close of their sojourn in the desert: "Your clothing did not wear out on you and your foot did not swell these forty years."
