Moscow has a reputation as a chaotic, ugly city where anything goes when it comes to construction. In recent times, architectural and aesthetic values have taken a back seat to business interests.
But today, a new institution opens in Moscow, backed by a Kremlin-friendly businessman and a leading international architect, which hopes to raise a new generation of thoughtful and tasteful urban planners, and help save the city from architectural Armageddon.
Over the past two decades, Russia's oil wealth has driven a frenzied construction boom in the capital. Historically significant buildings have been left to rot or simply torn down, and hundreds of poorly designed, cheaply built office blocks and luxury housing towers have sprung up around the city.
Unlike St Petersburg, Moscow has never been an architecturally harmonious city, but preservation campaigners say that the level of destruction over the past decade is threatening to destroy the city's identity. The founders of the Strelka Institute hope that it will be part of the cure.
"It's not something you can do in one step, but we need to change the Russian landscape," said Ilya Oskolkov-Tsentsiper, Strelka's president, during a tour of the campus. "When you look at Moscow and other Russian cities today, it's a dystopian urban landscape and the level of degradation is increasing."
The institute will open its doors this afternoon, with a lecture by Rem Koolhaas, the Dutch architect and urban planner responsible for some of the world's most cutting-edge buildings, and named by Time magazine as one of the planet's 100 most influential people.
Mr Koolhaas will write and direct a postgraduate programme at Strelka for Russian and international students and will visit Moscow every two months to take classes and give lectures.
There will also be a series of summer lectures and workshops based on philosophical themes related to architecture and urban planning across the world, but with a specific focus on the situation in Russia. "We want to put dialogue about architecture more into the public eye, and create debate among society at large," says Mr Oskolkov-Tsentsiper.
Strelka's buildings, which are being finished over the weekend, are part of the Red October complex, a vast set of red-brick buildings that until 2007 functioned as a chocolate factory, churning out millions of bars of Russia's favourite chocolate brands. The institute is in the factory's former garage and shop, which has been given a contemporary facelift by two Russian architects.
The buildings are on an island in the heart of Moscow, a stone's throw from the Kremlin. Three years ago, chocolate production moved outside the city centre and an ambitious project began to turn the complex into exclusive housing for Moscow's super-rich.
But the financial crisis hit, and plans have been put on hold indefinitely, which has been the cue for art galleries, restaurants and now Strelka to move in. "It's like having this in the middle of Trafalgar Square, or on the Champs Elysées," says Mr Oskolkov-Tsentsiper.
The project has two major financial backers, one of whom is Alexander Mamut, a 50-year-old billionaire who was known for his links to Boris Yeltsin's family during the 1990s and who has has continued to prosper during the Putin era.
Mr Mamut's diverse business interests include the blogging site LiveJournal.com, very popular among Russian users, and Euroset, a vast mobile-phone retailer whose previous owner fell out of favour with the Kremlin and fled to London.
Mr Mamut says that the investment in the project will total around $10m (£7m) by the end of the year – a drop in the ocean in Russian oligarch terms.
"Architecture in Russia is often too servile; too linked to business interests. I really wanted to do something that will draw on what is happening across the world, something that will promote research, study and a deeper understanding of architecture," says the oligarch. "Also, I just wanted to do something good for Moscow."
When asked if it was too late to save Moscow, after the architectural ravages of the past two decades, Mr Mamut pauses at length. "Well," he answers, "whatever the answer is to that question, I think you at least have to try."
Moscow's modern monstrosities
1. Sheremetyevo Airport, Terminal 2
A bleak, drab shoebox of a building, this was the showcase airport terminal built for the 1980 Olympics. The airport is undergoing renovation and new terminals have been added. But Terminal 2, as depressing on the inside as it is from outside, is still going strong.
2. Monument to Peter the Great
Perhaps the most infamous new structure in Moscow, the monument to Russia's reforming Tsar is reviled almost unanimously by Muscovites. Located downriver from the Strelka Institute, urban legend has it that the statue was originally of Christopher Columbus, as a gift to the US to mark the 500th anniversary of his 1492 voyage. When it was rejected on aesthetic grounds, the head was replaced with that of Peter the Great.
3. Novy Arbat Towers
One of the prettiest areas of Moscow, the Arbat district is filled with an eclectic mix of low-rise, 19th century architectural styles. Much of it was bulldozed away, however, in the 1960s, to create the Novy Arbat thoroughfare, lined on both sides with monolithic grey tower blocks.Reuse content

The Crypto Project Revives Cypherpunk Ethic 77
Trailrunner7 writes "When a small group of activists announced the debut of The Crypto Project earlier this year, for many, ahem, mature, security and privacy advocates it brought to mind memories of the original cypherpunk movement that began in the 1990s and that group's seminal efforts to encourage the use of strong cryptography and anonymity online, as well as its successes and failures. The two groups are not allied by anything other than ideology, but The Crypto Project's leaders are aiming to follow in the footsteps of the cypherpunks, build on their accomplishments and make security and privacy tools freely available to the masses. The group is working on a number of projects right now, including setting up an anonymous remailer, putting up a Convergence notary and setting up a Tahoe-LAFS grid. Threatpost has an interview with Sir Valiance, one of the leaders of the project, who talks about the need for better privacy and anonymity online and why the cypherpunks are still important today."

Clusters of Aggression Problems
- Jan 1, 2003
- Topics:
I have an almost 4-year-old Peruvian stallion, born and raised on my farm, living with only his mother and a sister. Because of my inexperience, I treated him as a pet. Since a very young age, he showed a strong will. When I started saddle training a year ago with a local trainer on my farm, he continued to have a strong will. Although a bit on the aggressive side, he had no dangerous tendencies. Later I switched trainers, moving the horse to the trainer's place. The new trainer's technique was very intensive, and within six weeks the horse became a wild beast--extremely aggressive, attempting to kick and bite, knocking the rider down, and not allowing anybody to saddle him without restraint or even allowing me near him. The most amazing thing was that he would bite himself until he bled. I assumed the trainer mistreated him, so I took him back to my farm and began slowly handling the horse until he was calm. After months of training, he calmed down significantly, and again I started saddle and bit training very successfully until 2 1/2 months ago.
I took the horse to a friend's farm in order to continue saddle training. The first week the horse was a little bit stressed, but there was no extreme behavior during saddling, handling, or riding. The idea was for the horse to get used to being around other horses in order to be prepared for competition in January 2003.
One week later, there was an incident with my friend's stallion who got loose during grooming and created havoc in the stables. My horse was never in the stallion's way and stayed safely in his stall during the situation, but he went nuts. He seemed to flash back to his bad experience with the trainer that "mistreated" him months ago. He turned dangerously aggressive and to my horror, he started to bite himself again. It was impossible to ride him and a dangerous task to control him and unsaddle him. I decided immediately to castrate him, so the next day, the vet did it.
Given these facts, my question is: Would castration solve or help solve the behavior problem? Is he a dangerous nut case in need of euthanasia? Or is there something else to do for him? Rodolfo
With the facts you so nicely described, all I can say is that castration might or might not help. But you should find that out soon. Depending on the cause of the problem, removal of the source of hormones that drive male sexual and aggressive behavior could make him easier to handle. Sometimes a horse like this will quiet down almost immediately and do very well. However, in other cases the problem behaviors continue. Castration might help with the aggression, but might not improve the self mutilation or difficulty with handling and work under saddle. Let me explain a bit about the current understanding of behavior like this and why castration doesn't always help.
Although aggression, self-biting, and difficulty in handling can be behavioral and tend to be a problem more often in stallions than in mares or geldings, in my experience it's fairly rare for aggression, self mutilation, and difficult handling to come and go as a unit when they are simple "behavior" problems. More often, when those problems come and go as you describe, there is physical discomfort at the root of the behavior change. And the physical discomfort can be set off or exacerbated by stressful training or a stressful event such as you have described. So, when there are sudden extreme changes in a horse's behavior like this, particularly for the situation at your friend's farm in reaction to the stallion catastrophe, it's probably worth considerable effort to identify any sources of physical pain that might be causing the behavior change.
What sort of pain could be involved here? Particularly with the self-biting, examples could include gastric ulcers, any sort of painful pelvic or urinary condition, abdominal discomfort, or with a stallion we always want to check for a testicle that is painful from rotation within the scrotum (twisted cord) or entrapped in the inguinal canal. If it was something related to a testicle, hopefully the problem will be immediately and permanently relieved with removal of the testicles. If it is not, it would be great to have a full diagnostic work-up. The physical cause can sometimes be easy to find, or might take considerable effort. But often if you can find and address a physical cause, the problem behaviors go away quickly.
Another important issue is that, although rare, some horses are intermittently aggressive to the point of being dangerous with no identifiable source of pain. We wonder about brain tumors and other neurological problems that might account for this, but equine neuropathology diagnostics are very limited. It's tough to weigh the danger of injury to people and to the horse itself against continuing to search for a physical cause. In those cases, euthanasia often is the best decision. And sometimes the answer is found post mortem.
There is one more interesting part of your question. You say that you raised your colt like a pet, and hint that you might not do that again. I doubt that overhandling is the root cause of the problems you describe, but it could be a modifying factor. It's difficult to judge just how much of a pet your colt became. But some colts handled very closely as youngsters, such as hand-reared foals, have a cluster of behavior problems as they mature. They become what people describe as human-bonded, spoiled, overhandled, or over-imprinted. In general, they behave toward people as if people were horses. They are often overly friendly and attentive to people, and seem to prefer to be with people than with other horses. With people, they appear bargey, "in your face," or not respectful of your space. They are sometimes described as dull to direction in training. When pushed to "behave," they can become aggressive and pushy, just as they would to a herd mate. So they are quick to rear, nip, or turn their butts to you. Perhaps that is what you term strong-willed.
In my experience, those colts can also "lose it" when they have to submit socially to other horses. I know one hand-reared colt that had been raised in close contact with people and apart from horses. He had many of the classic problems of hand-reared colts, and developed several stereotypies in apparent "frustration" when exposed to other horses, including frantic circling of his stall. On occasion he did bite his flank mildly when exposed to other stallions. That type of problem can be very difficult to overcome.

Published: December 13, 1987
Hilary Watts Coons, a staff psychologist and an assistant professor of psychiatry at Dartmouth College, and Bruce Lawrence Murray, a potter and sculptor in Bradford, Vt., were married yesterday at the First Parish Unitarian Church in Brookline, Mass. The Rev. Charles Ludeking performed the Protestant ceremony.
The bride, who will retain her name, is a daughter of Phyllis Watts Coons of Brookline, an education writer for The Boston Globe, and the late Dr. Albert H. Coons, a professor of immunology at the Harvard Medical School. The bride graduated from Radcliffe College and received a Ph.D. degree in clinical psychology from the University of Rochester.
Mr. Murray, who is also a sales representative for the Dubois Chemical Company, an industrial chemical concern, graduated from the University of Pennsylvania and did graduate work at the University of California at Berkeley. He studied pottery with the late Marguerite Wildenhain at her Pond Farm Workshop in Guerneville, Calif. The bridegroom is a son of Ruth M. Murray of Scituate, Mass., and the late Joseph A. Murray, a mechanical engineer for the Walworth Company in Boston. His previous marriage ended in divorce.

The club has been placed in the hands of the receiver, with debts of up to pounds 23m, and players have threatened strike action after not receiving wages for March before an administration order was granted by the High Court to allow the club to continue trading.
Coppell insisted the current owner, Mark Goldberg, and the side have suffered because of Noades' lack of focus after promotion to the Premiership in 1997. "Right from when we got promotion I think in his mind he always had the idea of selling the club," Coppell said. "He wasn't really focused. He wasn't really putting his mind to it. I think if Ron was really concentrating on the job we wouldn't have got in the mess we have got into.
"From 10th in the [Premiership] table, I think injuries were what started us on the rocky road and then all the turmoil took over from about Christmas onwards. Ron always said, with Mark [Goldberg] around, it was a case of heads he won and tails Mark lost. The offer was so massive, so good, Ron couldn't refuse it in the end. And I think it was to the detriment of the club and the supporters have suffered more than anyone."
Coppell is also concerned that Noades, who is currently in charge at Brentford, still owns Palace's Selhurst Park ground. The former Manchester United winger wants the Eagles to make ownership of their own facilities a priority. "Ron owns the ground at the moment and we pay him rent," Coppell said on Channel 5 last night. "I fail to see how Crystal Palace or any club can proceed and be competitive in any division when they are paying to use their own facilities."

Dear Camp Supporter,
Many kids my age don't know what it's like to live with arthritis – some days, it makes me feel lonely AND different.
These feelings go away when I visit Camp Wekandu. For one week, I feel like a 'normal' kid and get to enjoy things like hiking and canoeing with kids who are just like me! I like making new friends.
My parents don't have to worry about me either, because there are doctors and nurses there all week to make sure I am having fun and feeling good.
I look forward to camp every year I'm counting down the days already!

The Unknown
"She paints a pretty picture but this picture has a twist you see, her paint brush is a razor and her canvas is her wrist she paints her pretty picture in a color thats blood red, and while using her shape paint brush she finally ends up dead, her pretty picture is fading quite slowly on her arm the blood is not racing through her she can no longer do harm, she painted a pretty picture but her picture had a twist...her mind was the razor and her heart was her wrist..." this is the poem by Amy Efaw that describes my dreadful life in a nut shell. My life is somewhat like a maze that never ends..full of sorrow and pity from the ones that know my story. You know that look of shame your parents give you when they are disappointed? I see that from them all the time from them now since they know their little princess is a bulimic cutter. I dont like to tell people my story becuase its always the same response "why do you do that?" or "You're MUCH better than that" but truthfully i wasnt, i was worthless, and my life was a blackhole sucking in all the happiness around me and people started to notice. My daily routine was Starve, Cut, Purge and repeat, it was funny that i thought i was helping myself but truly i was distroing my own body...the purging was hard on my body, my hair starting falling out my skin turned pale and i dropped a lot of weight. i went from 110 to 100 pounds in a week, i was dying from the inside out. Well my purging started when i was about 10 and in the 5th grade, i felt huge everyone else was 95 pounds or below and i was into triple digits, i felt fat...people would make stupid remarks about how they where smaller and cutier than i was, my weight really conserned me, at 11 i was coverd in scars and regret...my parents didnt find out until i was 13 but the moral of my story is there is always someone out there who knows what you're going through...even if you feel alone, there is someone here, you're worth ever minute someone spends with you, God made you perfect, and i promise, if knowone else is there i will be, just post on my wall i will talk i promise, you're stronger than the pressure to be perfect

New ride sharing programs make it easy to find a fast, safe ride and keep the payments reasonable because passengers set (or choose) their own rates. These companies describe themselves as "ride-sharing" rather than alternatives to traditional cabs. What is ridesharing? Think of ridesharing the way you would a cab. People summon a ride when they need to get somewhere and they don't want to drive (or don't have access to a car). In most cases, people use these ride services once or twice (for a ride to or from the airport, to a special event like a concert, to a ski resort, etc.). But the service is more personal than a cab because drivers are encouraged to chat with their passengers and even encourage them to choose the music they want to hear during the ride. Reviews of these services include several stories about friendships that have formed between drivers and passengers, and some drivers have commented that they learn about new restaurants and other fun sites in their cities because of conversations with passengers. Ridesharing is perfect for: People who are visiting from out of town who don't want to rent a car and don't want to pay higher prices associated with traditional cabs. Environmentally focused people who want to make driving as efficient as possible by sharing a ride with someone else. Extroverts who love meeting new people. For tourists, it's an ideal way to see the city on a budget: The prices are competitive and the drivers are chatty locals who are eager to talk about their city (friendly, outgoing personalities are among the driver requirements). Drivers come from all walks of life (students, professionals seeking extra income, moms and others who enjoy meeting new people and want to earn extra money. Here's how to get the most from these programs, whether the goal is to get a ride or fill seats in your car: Ride Zimride The basic idea behind Zimride is to connect like-minded people who happen to be going in the same direction. Participants use Facebook to find rides, and the program aims to connect people with common interests. Although Zimride's overall structure is much loser than other ride-sharing programs, it is widely accepted at universities around the country. In fact, more than 100 schools are connected to the Zimride network, and many have direct links from the school's website to Zimride. Location: Available at universities and businesses throughout the country. Zimride lists all currently available locations and also offers instructions on how to launch a Zimride location in a community not currently listed. Download: Users must connect via Facebook. After finding the ride you want to reserve, click on "book it" and follow the step-by-step instructions to finalize. Payment: Drivers post ride opportunities and the cost on Facebook. After booking the ride, passengers make a secure online payment with a credit card. Safety: Riders and drivers are encouraged to leave feedback about their experiences on Facebook. Zimride keeps a record of each participant's first and last name, email address and phone number. Lyft While Zimride focuses on universities and businesses, Lyft (Zimride's sister company) branches out to include any potential rider or driver, has more structure and uses an app rather than Facebook. Location: Serves the San Francisco area. Lyft cars are easy to spot because they feature a fuzzy pink mustache on the front bumper. Download: App is free for Android and iPhone. Safety: All drivers are rated by other Lyft users so passengers know what to expect and can decide whether or not to accept a ride. All drivers must pass a background check and must also pass a vehicle safety inspection. Payment: Passengers decide how much of a "donation" to make. Lyft doesn't give passengers an average donation to use as a guideline, but the company says most rides are 30 percent lower than a comparable cab ride. Drivers rate each passenger, so unruly customers or those who pay little or nothing will likely have trouble finding a ride from other drivers in the future. Payment is made by credit card via the app (no cash). SideCar Locations: San Francisco and Seattle Download: App is free for Android and iPhone Safety: Drivers must pass background checks in advance and agree to ongoing random DMV record checks while remaining an active SideCar driver. Payment: Passengers decide how much to "donate" and make the payment by credit card via their app when ordering the ride (no cash). Passengers can see the average donation made for similar rides before confirming the ride request. Uber Uber is an alternative for situations where a cab would be considered (to or from an airport, getting around in a new city, etc.). Unlike the three ride-sharing services above, Uber is found throughout the United States (east and west coast cities) and even around the world. Click here to see a full list of cities served by Uber: https://www.uber.com/cities/san-francisco# Here's how it works: Sign up by providing general information (first and last name, email, etc.). Use the free app for Android or iPhone. Choose the type of ride wanted (options, along with fares, are listed on the ride selector on the screen.) Uber sends a text message when the ride is on the way and another text when it arrives. Payments are pre-arranged (credit card information is taken at signup), so there's no need to have cash on hand. Drive Driving passengers around your city is a great way to make extra money on a flexible schedule. It is an ideal job for extroverts who enjoy meeting new people and can easily carry on a conversation with a stranger. Zimride Apply: Drivers follow the "post a ride" instructions to find passengers via Zimride's site. There is no screening process for drivers, but Zimride encourages users to look at a driver or rider's profile to ensure there are common interests, mutual friends or other cues that indicate the experience will be positive. Payment: Drivers are paid via PayPal and receive a payment 24 hours after the ride is completed. Lyft Apply: Lyft says it tries to contact all online applicants within 24 hours. The entire process takes up to two weeks and includes a criminal background check in addition to a driver's record check. Drivers must be at least 23 years old and must pass a video screening and in-person interview. Payment: Drivers receive 80% of the total donated by each passenger (money is deposited into the driver's account weekly). Safety: Drivers rate each passenger, and drivers can see the passenger's rating before deciding whether to respond to their ride request. Lyft provides drivers with $1 million in liability insurance. SideCar Apply: After completing an online application, applicants must participate in a video interview with a SideCar representative. The company then completes a background check and verifies the applicant has a clean driving record. Payment: Drivers receive 80% of the passengers' donations (SideCar keeps the other 20%) and the money is deposited into the driver's account weekly. Safety: Rides are tracked through GPS and no cash is exchanged. The passenger's personal information (credit card and phone number) are verified before rides are granted, and drivers rate each passenger (those ratings are visible to all drivers) based on behavior and pay. SideCar also offers $1 million in liability insurance to its drivers. 6 Comments LEAVE A COMMENT Cancel reply Fill in the details below or click an icon to log in.Comment Name (required) Email (required) 6 thoughts on "Save or Make Money with Ridesharing" Guest 02/23/2013 at 10:52 pm I wanna do it!!!!

You have 30 seconds. Go!" Reply MeMe Gray 02/25/2013 at 6:39 am f) Use your imagination. HA Reply Anonymous 02/23/2013 at 1:51 pm With the soaring price of gas, this sounds great! In fact, Pizzaz would make a great driver! You may have noticed that Pizzaz has a LOT to say about a LOT of things. Ever heard of "Cash Cab" on television? Pizzaz has often thought of producing a show called "Coupon Cab". Pizzaz would drive couponers to the store of their choice and would quiz them along the way about products & scenarios and for every correct answer they would win prizes like shampoo, razors, sanitary napkins, deodorant, cereal, KY Jelly, soy sauce and so forth. They could also win high-value coupons and, if they get to the video bonus round, Pizzaz could double (or even triple), the cash value of their coupons. What do ya think? 🙂 Reply Anonymous 02/23/2013 at 10:53 pm I wanna do it! You in the Denver area? lol Reply Anonymous 02/24/2013 at 7:15 am I'm sure you're worth the trip!…LOL 🙂 Reply

Very impressed with this trip. By far the best way to see Berlin. It is a long trip of 3.5 hours that covers a great number of the city highlights and represents a great value for the money. Seating was available inside or out to accommodate weather. Staff was attentive.

The cruise was great. The directions to the boat are horrible and no one answered either the regular or emergency number. It is not next to the castle it is up river and the opposite side. Once the frustration of finding it was over the actual cruise is a great way to see the city.

A wonderful prelude to any walking tour of Berlin! The commentary was bilingual describing the sights and places along the shores of the Spree river. The food served for lunch was very nice, with an ample menu of choices to satisfy even our finicky children. The tour runs for just over 3 hours, so plan accordingly, we had to rush to our next activity after disembarking the vessel.

Outstanding. Super way to see the other side of the main tourist sights. Good commentary
We would have preferred to have been told we could have joined the cruise nearer the centre, rather than having to bus out to the first starting point. We got off early at Potsdamplatz

Good design, set-up, maintenance can keep dies out of repair shop
Take this old maxim to heart: A stitch in time saves nine. The same goes for die maintenance and repair.
A technical society once asked me if I would be willing to write a book on stamping die maintenance. Chuckling, I told the requester that I'd have the book done by Friday.
He did a double take. "Friday?" he asked. "You must have already completed the book, huh?"
He was even more surprised when I told him that I hadn't even thought about the book. "I hope you don't expect it to be more than 30 or so pages," I said.
He seemed downright astounded as he told me that all of the books he had seen on die maintenance were several hundred pages long and proceeded to ask how, pray tell, I could possibly summarize all of this information in such a short book. (Believe me, I think his faith in my stamping knowledge dropped a few notches during that discussion.) Sensing his confusion, I explained myself.
I pointed out that, although regular die maintenance is necessary for a successful stamping operation, the unfortunate truth is that shops spend far more time on repairs than on maintenance. This should not be. One usually precludes the other.
Following is a list of a few of the most common types of die repair:
- Welding a pad back together
- Fixing or welding cracked tool sections
- Removing double metal from a cavity
- Straightening a die shoe
- Fixing chipped cutting sections
- requent polishing and resurfacing
- Replacing broken pilots
- Realigning cutting punches
- Drilling out slugs
- Very frequent sharpening of tool sections
- Remaking smashed set-up blocks
- Replacing crushed nitrogen cylinders
- Straightening bent pads and plates
- Galling of cams and slides
I could go on and on. The point is, all of these repairs are costly and usually can be prevented, or at least postponed.
Preventing Repairs
Unnecessary die repair stems from several basic shortcomings, namely, poor die design, setup procedures, tool design, and maintenance techniques.
Poor Die Design. It always amazes me how many die maintenance programs revolve around a poor die design.
For example, let's say coil springs are breaking in the die every 2,000 strokes of the press. To ensure that they are replaced before breakage, you could schedule spring replacement every 1,500 strokes. The reality is that the springs should last 10 times that long, though.
The root of the problem most likely is that the die in which the spring was used was designed improperly or that the spring was deflecting far beyond its most efficient rate. The long-term solution: Fix the root problem; that is, the die.
Poor Setup. One shop I visited replaced all of the pilots in a progressive die every 2,000 hits. It was actually part of their regularly scheduled maintenance. They replaced them because they were all galled up and bent and no longer functioned properly.
Root cause: poor setup procedures. Holes were being pierced frequently with the pilots, improper progression feeds were set on the coil feeder, the die was not set up parallel to the coil feeder, and press operators were beating on pilots to remove sheet steel that was stuck to them.
Long-term solution: Educate press operators on progressive die setup and operating fundamentals. Give them ownership of the tools, as well as incentives to ensure that they are set up and run properly. Listen and seek to understand fully their setup and feeding problems. Then collectively seek a solution that you both can live with.
Poor Tool Design. Some frequent tool design problems are:
- Poor tool steel selection
- Mis-hits
- Poor part ejection
- Poor slug and scrap removal
- Low shut height
Poor Maintenance. Although most repairs can be traced back to bad design or setup procedures, poor maintenance can cause major damage. For example, overshimming an insert after sharpening or failing to place a hole in a shim for slugs to drop through, which are common mistakes, can be disastrous.
The following is a list of everyday maintenance checks — the assumption being that that the die was designed, set up, and run properly in a well-maintained press:
- Sharpen cutting sections as needed and reinstall and retime them if necessary.
- Check and tighten screws and dowels regularly.
- Wash and clean dies as needed.
- Lubricate working components such as guide pins, slides, and cams.
- Monitor cycles and replace springs before the end of their normal life expectancy.
- Inspect dies for cracked or broken sections.
- Resurface die sections worn down as a result of normal use.
- Inspect items such as scrap ejectors, slug chutes, and ejector pins to make sure they are not sticking.
A good preventive maintenance program will pay for itself many times. But keep in mind that all of the die maintenance in the world can't take the place of a properly designed tool that is run in a frequently maintained press by a well-educated press operator.
Avoid setting up a die maintenance program based on poor die design and frequent mis-hits in the press. Instead, find the root cause of your problem and fix it instead of the symptoms.
If you are one of the few who spends most of his time on true die maintenance, congratulations. I tip my hat to you and your company. For the rest of you, I applaud you and your effort to keep up with the one of the most frustrating career paths known in stamping—die repair.
Now, how about a book on die repair? Now that would be a bigbook.

After our fearless leader was lambasted by Chrysler PR for what seemed like hours over our suggestion the press images for the Chicago Auto Show unveil of the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 had been massaged to enhance reality, it seems there may be further p-chopping on the latest batch of images in an apparent attempt to deceive the muscle-loving public into believing Chrysler has more than one color available for the Challenger save money. We took the time to create an animated gif of two of the images in question — one, a 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 from Chicago (in orange). The other, a purported image of the 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8 (in white)... We thought this time we'd reserve commentary on whether or not it's really been digitally enhanced to our readers. Mostly because we think you're smart enough to figure it out on your own. Perhaps this is what they mean when an automaker says they're experts in virtual product development. All we know is if what our eyes tell us is true, the 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8 is "virtually" identical to the 2009 Dodge Challenger SRT8. Deception? Cost Saving? Silliness?

Remote Monitoring of Patients Rises in 2015
Three of the fastest growing market segments in the next five years will be glucose monitoring, air flow monitoring and connected pharmaceuticals.The number of remotely monitored patients grew by 51 percent to 4.9 million in 2015 as the market entered a growth phase fueled by rising market acceptance in several key verticals, according to a Berg Insight report. This number includes all patients enrolled in mobile health (mHealth) care programs in which connected medical devices are used as a part of the care regimen. However, the report noted connected medical devices used for various forms of personal health tracking are not included in this figure. The analyst firm estimates that the number of remotely monitored patients will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 48.9 percent to reach 36.1 million by 2020.
Following cardiac rhythm management (CRM) devices and monitoring of patients with sleep therapy devices, telehealth was the third largest segment with 0.41 million connections at the end of the year.

Hope amid the gloom. Six of Britain's rapidly declining butterfly species have started to recover in numbers because of intensive conservation efforts.
They are bucking the trend of dwindling populations being seen in three-quarters of Britain's 60 types of butterfly, which is depressingly confirmed in a new study published today.
The six showing signs of a comeback include Britain's fastest disappearing species, the heath fritillary, as well as the high brown fritillary, the wood white, the silver-spotted skipper, the adonis blue and most remarkably of all, the large blue - which 25 years ago was extinct.
The large blue disappeared from Britain in 1978, partly because of its specialised life cycle - the caterpillar spends much of its life in an ants' nest - but it was reintroduced from continental Europe in the 1980s. Careful management has allowed it to flourish on 10 sites in the west of England, and at the last count there were 7,000 adults.
But this sort of success story is the exception rather than the rule, according to the new study, The State of Butterflies in Britain and Ireland, which is published by the charity Butterfly Conservation, in association with the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology.
The report, which includes much new detail on population trends and distribution, reinforces earlier research in indicating that 76 per cent of our butterfly species are dramatically shrinking both in numbers and range. Seventeen species have gone from 40 per cent of the sites they were found in 30 years ago.
British butterflies are declining much faster than either birds or wild flowers, largely because they are more sensitive to environmental change. Many need specialised habitats, such as short-grazed turf or coppiced woodland (in which the trees are cut in rotation, leaving open glades) and if traditional farming management falls into disuse or is replaced by agricultural intensification, the butterflies tend to disappear.
Recent research also indicates that butterflies cannot survive habitat fragmentation - that is, if they end up in colonies only on widely-separated islands of habitat in the landscape, they will die out. They need networks of sites between which they can freely move to replenish different local populations.
However, in the past decade, growing scientific knowledge of butterflies' life cycles and habitat requirements has led to much more accurately targeted conservation measures. These have been put into practice not only on nature reserves, but more importantly on farmland, via new agri-environment schemes, which all farmers can now join (and receive extra support payments for doing so).
The schemes, designed to maintain or reinstate agricultural practices which allow butterflies in flourish, are now starting to show success. The silver-spotted skipper, for example, had by 1982 shrunk in numbers to a mere 68 colonies in the UK because of ploughing-up or neglect of its habitat, the chalk downland of southern England.
Now green farming schemes which encourage grassland grazing to provide the short turf it needs have led to an increase in individual numbers of 1,500 per cent and to nearly 270 colonies. The brilliantly coloured adonis blue has enjoyed a similar success.
"What the increases in these six species show is that conservation measures are beginning to reverse the really severe declines our butterflies have been suffering from," said Martin Warren, Butterfly Conservation's chief executive. "To have some success in halting that is quite an achievement.
"But we need a lot more of it because we have a lot more species to turn around as well."
Five others on the road to recovery
* HEATH FRITILLARY Melitaea athalia
One of Britain's two fastest-declining butterflies, with population down by 73 per cent over the past 20 years, and now mainly confined to a few sites on Exmoor and in Kent. Carefully targeted habitat management in Kent's Blean Woods has brought its numbers back up, and there are early signs of a similar increase on Exmoor.
* WOOD WHITE Leptidea sinapis
A delicate species that lives in woodland rides and has suffered from the decline in traditional woodland management. In Britain it has declined by more than 60 per cent over 30 years, but in the past decade has staged a comeback, with a recent increase of about 10 per cent. It has responded well to habitat management in Herefordshire, Shropshire and Warwickshire,.
* SILVER-SPOTTED SKIPPER Hesperia comma
A very rare butterfly that is on the way back. A survey in 1982 found just 68 populations in Britain but by 2000 these had increased to 257. Improvement of its chalk grassland habitat by livestock grazing and climate change may help. Warmer temperatures increase its breeding habitat.
* ADONIS BLUE Pollyomatus bellargus
A species that has disappeared from 20 per cent of its sites over the last three decades, but which shows a much more positive recent trend, up more than 60 per cent in numbers in 10 years. Like the silver-spotted skipper, it has benefited from better management of chalk downland, and possibly from climate change also.
* HIGH BROWN FRITILLARY Argynnis adippe
The other most rapidly declining species, having disappeared from nearly 80 per cent of known breeding sites in recent decades. Still in real danger of extinction - but positive habitat management has led to substantial increases in a few places, in particular on the Morecambe Bay limestones of north Lancashire.

testcase (crashes Firefox when loaded)
Created attachment 578518 [details]
stack trace
crash-stats shows about 7 crashes a day with this signature. I don't know if those crashes are the same as this bug.
I can't reproduce this in my local build on Linux, so either it is platform-specific (which seems unlikely), or a patch for some other bug that isn't yet checked in fixes it. I'll investigate further.
Created attachment 579968 [details] [diff] [review]
So what is happening here is that after removing the span we have a frametree like this:
Inline(bdi)(0)@0xaafccaa0 next=0xaafccf80 next-continuation=0xaafccf80 {0,0,660,1140} [state=0000000000601000] [content=0xaafca650] [sc=0xaafcc878]<

Since the first nested <bdi> is empty, TraverseFrames doesn't recurse into it, and then when it reaches the second nested <bdi>, it isn't a first continuation so it doesn't call Reset, and the data in the subparagraph BidiParagraphData never gets initialized. (and by the way, in spite of what I said in comment 3, this *is* platform specific: it depends on how the platform initializes the non-initialized data).

BALTIMORE -- Bruce Chen has discovered what the rest of the American League is quickly learning: Baltimore has a fearsome offense.
Melvin Mora hit a pair of home runs, Miguel Tejada homered for the fourth consecutive game and the Orioles won their eighth straight, beating the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 7-4 Sunday.
"I was talking to some of our pitchers, and it would be tough to face us," Chen said. "I'm glad we're pitching for this team. This team has been unbelievable."
Chen (3-1) allowed three runs in six-plus innings and struck out a season-high seven as the Orioles matched their longest winning streak last year. Baltimore has not won nine straight since a 13-game streak from Sept. 7-22, 1999.
"It's crazy. This team is crazy," Mora said. "We've got power hitters. We've got speed. Everything."
B.J. Ryan pitched the ninth for his fifth save in as many chances.
"We came out of camp knowing that we had a pretty good offensive team," Baltimore manager Lee Mazzilli said. "But how good? You never know until you get into the season."
Dewon Brazelton's career-opening road losing streak reached 14 games as Tampa Bay dropped its seventh game in a row.
Brazelton (1-5) gave up five runs -- four earned -- nine hits and three walks in six innings. He is 0-3 in three road starts this year, and his skid is the longest on the road for a pitcher at the start of his big league career since Cincinnati's Kent Peterson lost his first 18 decisions from 1947-49.
"I haven't won on the road -- I know that," said Brazelton, who said a disputed two-run Mora homer in the first changed the complexion of the game. "You take away those two runs and it's a whole different ballgame. I can only go out there and control what I can control."
Toby Hall homered for Tampa Bay, which went 0-6 on the fourth winless road trip in franchise history. The Devil Rays, swept in a three-game series at Camden Yards for the first time, are 1-10 away from home.
"We can't seem to get any big hits, can't seem to find the strike zone sometimes," Tampa Bay's Aubrey Huff said. "We're just not playing to win right now. Those guys are hot. They are the best team we've played this year."
Jay Gibbons also connected for the Orioles, and Tejada finished with four hits.
Eduardo Perez's RBI double in the first put Tampa Bay ahead, but Mora hit a two-run homer in the bottom half and the Orioles went ahead 4-1. Third-base umpire Ed Rapuano ruled Mora's homer down the left-field line bounced off the top of the wall, off the white stripe separating fair from foul territory.
"I saw the kid who caught it," said Devil Rays left fielder Jonny Gomes, who argued unsuccessfully. "He was foul."
In the second, Brian Roberts hit an RBI single and scored on an error by Hall, Tampa Bay's catcher. Gibbons hit a leadoff homer in the fourth, but Aubrey Huff cut it to 5-2 with an RBI single in the fifth. Hall homered on the first pitch of the seventh, chasing Chen.
Rob Bell relieved Brazelton to start the seventh and surrendered consecutive homers to Mora and Tejada in a span of four pitches. Julio Lugo had an RBI groundout in the eighth.
- Devil Rays 1B Travis Lee left in the second inning with a groin strain. He was replaced by Josh Phelps .
- The Orioles have a stolen base in 15 of their last 21 games and a homer in 17 of 19. It was Baltimore's second four-homer game of the season.
- Baltimore's sweep was its fourth of the year. Last season, the Orioles didn't reach that total until July 20.

ok so i was talking to my buddy in the gym and for weeks hes been telling me he is on this new gh prescribed from his dr. then today im tlking shop with him and i say i was looking at cjc1295 and sermorelin and he goes Thats IT! that wht he has me on, Sermrelin. he is loving it! so i start researching further, and from what i find , sermorelin is the shortest half life, Mod Grf1-29 is like 30 min , cjc1295 is like mod grf, and cjc1295dac is long lasting, like up to 7 days,
so after i look into it some more, he says he only doses 2-300mcg a night, he just knows what the dr. tells him, so i guess im asking if anyone here can let me know which is best for the $$ vs. results, what would a good dose be and an avg prce range, all the sites have diff prices and then after further research some bros complain that the product was advtised as 1295 dac and it was just grf 1-29, any help would be greatly appreciated,
