Danny Lasoski
"ER on the dyno has outperformed anything we've ever used. Once we put ER in we have not seen any pitting of any ring gears, the gears look like they have never been used. I don't know how the made it or came up with it but somebody did their homework. I'm amazed."

John Shoemaker | Winner of NHRA Winter Nationals)
On blown alcohol engines using screw type blowers, rod bearings have been known to be a weak link; sometimes requiring a re- placement every run. Since using Energy Release, we have virtually eliminated the problem. We were also experiencing burning of the clutch discs in our planetary transmission. Using Energy Release, we have been able to run clutch pack sets through their entire thickness specification range without premature failure."

Bobby Martin (Drag Racer)
"Energy Release has done quite a bit for us. Where we see a lot of improvement is in the valve springs. ER has reduced the operat- ing temperature of the valve springs between rebuilds. We used to change springs 2 and 3 times between rebuilds, now we don't see springs back until it's time to rebuild the engines."
Earl Gaerte (Circle Track Engine Builder)
"I don't know how they made it or how they came up with it, but somebody did their homework. I'm amazed."

MONTEVIDEO, Minn. — Work is underway to ready the shuttered Prairie Correctional Facility in Appleton to serve as a medical facility for coronavirus patients and possibly hold its first patients Monday, March 30, if necessary.
The goal is to have the former prison equipped and staffed to hold as many as 559 COVID-19 patients within 55 days of its opening, Brian Lovdahl, CEO of CCM Health, told the Chippewa County Board of Commissioners on Monday, March 23.
They met in an emergency meeting to unanimously approve an interest-free loan of $425,000 to CCM to assist with the expenses of converting and operating the facility as the Tri-County COVID Medical Center. The Lac qui Parle and Swift County boards of commissioners are meeting separately Monday to consider funding help.
CCM Health in Montevideo, and health care centers in Madison, Dawson, Appleton and Benson, are working together to equip and operate the facility to serve coronavirus patients from Chippewa, Lac qui Parle and Swift counties. CoreCivic, the owner of the facility, has offered its use at no cost to the counties. The private prison has been shuttered since 2010, but it has been kept licensed and at the ready for use if needed.
Lovdahl said the work now underway is aimed at adapting three pods of the prison to provide care to patients. Using just the first floors of the two-story pods provides 304 individual rooms. The first work involves replacing the prison bunks with hospital beds and installing the range of medical equipment that would be needed.
Representatives of the five health care centers met just over a week ago to look at how to meet the needs of coronavirus care in the three counties.
"Larger organizations would pray to have resources like these at our disposal," Lovdahl said.
Currently, there are only three intensive care unit beds in the three counties, he said. The five health centers do not have anywhere near 559 hospital beds available in their facilities, but that is how many will be needed based on current projections.
Based on the data available today, Lovdahl said the health professionals in the organizations expect that 70 percent of the roughly 16,000 residents in the three-county area, or a total of 12,000 people, will be infected with COVID-19 during the course of the pandemic. About 5 percent of those infected will need hospital care, and anywhere from 1.25 to 2 percent of those hospitalized will need to be in intensive care units and provided ventilators.
While efforts are underway to slow the spread of the virus, at the current rate of new infections, the Tri-County COVID Medical Center is projected to hold 64 patients after 31 days of operations. The number of hospitalized patients will reach 559 by the 55th day, and stay at this level going forward. The average hospital patient will need 12 days of care.
Lovdahl said there is a lack of hard data on the spread of the pandemic, and that makes it very difficult to project the needs going forward. But he noted that if no beds are needed whatsoever, each of the five health centers participating in this venture are risking no more than $10,000 to $20,000.
If the current projections for a need of 559 beds prove true, the costs for providing the care will rise rapidly. The total costs for operations and providing supplies is projected to total $802,601 after 31 days of operation, and to total $6.9 million after 67 days of operations. Patients numbers will be exponentially higher in the second month of operation.
The five health care facilities will provide staffing, and Lovdahl said they are confident that they can meet the needs. Many of their health care workers are being assigned new duties as elective medical care is halted during the pandemic, he said.
CCM anticipates assigning two of its physicians to provide care at the facility. Each doctor will work separate, 12-hour shifts but will be relieved at times by other physicians.
Patients to be treated at the facility will be referred to it by health care professionals operating at the five health centers. It takes about three days to receive the results of the test for COVID-19, so patients referred to the facility will be evaluated based on their symptoms, he said.
Lovdahl told the commissioners that the five health care facilities have agreed to share the revenues and expenses for the Tri-County COVID Medical Center on the basis of an across-the-board, 20 percent share to each. It's expected that revenues from insurance and the state and federal governments will cover all of the expenses. The health centers are seeking no-interest loans from each of the three counties to help cover the costs until the insurance and government funds can be obtained.
There has been contact with the Minnesota National Guard about the possibility of assistance at the facility. Chippewa County Sheriff Derek Olson said the sheriffs in the three counties have also been in discussions on providing for security. If help from the National Guard is needed, it would likely be similar to that provided during floods and other natural disasters.
State Rep. Tim Miller, R-Prinsburg, told the commissioners that he is confident the state of Minnesota will reimburse the health centers for their costs associated with the pandemic. He told the commissioners that the state is currently looking at adapting the Xcel Energy Center to serve as a coronavirus health care center in the metropolitan area.
The legislator acknowledged how difficult it is to be proactive and confront the costs and challenges of the pandemic, but pointed out that it is about saving lives. "This is a different world we're about with this," he said.

I think the biggest thing that I found
when I became a parent was actually how little sleep a human can function off of
it was unbelievable being an athlete you used to sort of going
eight hours at least to recover from your sessions we were so unlucky for Milo
,he had silent reflux so we were up every 30 minutes or so it was
something that was a huge huge shot what was it like for yourself it was the same
thing? Similar I mean Jordan was great as a baby but I remember that kind of never
changed me I'll do everything exactly the same it's just about organization
again as an athlete you're really organized and then being left within
that first night and going like oh crap I think you put things into perspective
a little bit for me as well I think the things that were important like I come
home in a mood because I had a bad training session or something had gone
wrong or I had a little injury all of a sudden they don't matter as much and it
was a real wake-up call in that way and actually I think for me with athletics
it made it it made it work even better because I wasn't worried I wasn't
holding on to the things that were were a problem to me and I had been in
previous years I just would get home would see Milo and instantly nothing mattered
anymore I just wanted to look after this little thing here which was a bundle of
joy as cliche as that is yeah Jordan was 12 at the London and that's a kind of
tough age because on one hand he was proud of me and in the other hand it was
that "oh it's another volleyball competition why do i have to come" and he came to the
Paralympics and I think he'd made a flag at home with team Mum or something in and within ten
minutes he like "this is borning now can we go and do something else?" I felt like the worst mother in the
universe Jordan was 11 to 12 kind of in the the peak run-up to London and during
London which meant he was transitioning from primary to secondary school. A big time in life. And I was away
training kind of I would come home and he wouldn't say what are we doing
this weekend he would say where are you this weekend you know I wasn't able to
go and visit the schools to choose where he would go to secondary school and I wasn't there for his first day at secondary school and it was
actually a competition day so we didn't even have our phones so I couldn't even
send him a text. Blimey! And it's really tough because you always think what your
child would be thinking yeah of course and I would go home and when I did
have time at home I would completely overcompensate. i'd try and do the most exciting things of
course the time when actually in my head I'm going "you've got all that washing to do" Of course, with
Strictly that added a completely different dynamic to everything because
not just your performance is scrutinized everything around it is scrutinized as
well and and your sort of…people seem to feel I have a free rein on you can sort
of say and do whatever they want and we had one particular episode where Milo
came along to one of our rehearsals and they filmed him and all
of a sudden we were in the Daily Mail and talked all over social media about
how the fact that he looked like a bit of a girl because he had longer hair and
Suzy dressed him in I think he had like a space top which was purple or
something and all of a sudden these people start saying well look what he's
doing this poor boy, mate he looks like a girl he's gonna have all these problems
he thinking he's two-year-old child social media especially is like the
worst thing in the world and people say the most horrible things and you just
have to it seems accept it so now we're seeing more mums winning medals doing
well in sport and staying at the top level do you think it's gonna be
something we see a lot more of now? I really really hope so but I think it's
not as simple as saying because one person can do it other people can I
think what we need to do is make sure the people who are doing it actually
share the tips for success and the systems and structures in sport are more
flexible and more open to working with people in their circumstances rather
than saying it's this model you are the can fit in it or you can't. Right, because
the way I see it in track and field and I speak to a lot the girls who who
really do want to become mums but they say well I just can't because I can't
take that much time out there in my opinion that there has to be something
in place to mean that if you want to go and to have children absolutely should be
able to be able to gonna have to still be fully supported during that period
and then come back again because they say as the guys it is much easier
because for some of the athletes to be honest they are very very selfish that
way and they were just disappear for months on end and it doesn't bother them
too much but obviously as a mum you just can't you can't really do that it's the
whole process of going through pregnancy and having a child the recent report on
kind of athlete's well-being really resonated that it's about a whole person
you are a better athlete when you are happy as
whole person and when you're a parent or if you desperately want to be a parent
being around your child will make you happy yeah so you're going to perform
better if you can just happen that and the more we we need to think about why
not rather than why. So as a sporting parent what would you say the biggest
challenge is that you've had to overcome I think probably the biggest challenge
was in my brain and I know that's always the same for athletes them kind of no
matter what but I think it was about letting go of that guilt and feeling
like I was doing something that I loved at the expense of my childs attention and
kind of trying to let go of that so that I could actually give everything I
needed to for my sport

The Office of Personnel Management is taking too long to process federal retirement applications and lack of technology is to blame, according to a report released publicly by the Government Accountability Office June 14.
According to the report, more than "100,000 federal employees depend on OPM each year to process retirement benefits, such as life and health insurance, in a timely manner." Individuals begin receiving regular monthly benefit payments once the process is completed.
However, federal retirement application processing has met significant delays due to OPM's antiquated processing operations, which requires federal employees to submit paper applications through their agencies.
Why is OPM so slow to address 'high-risk' issues?
The Office of Personnel Management currently has 18 open, high-priority recommendations it needs to address, according to the Government Accountability Office.
GAO found that, between 2014 and 2017, OPM processed only 57 to 59 percent of retirement claims within 60 days annually — falling short of its goal to process 90 percent of claims within 60 days. OPM set a goal in April 2018 to process all applications within an average of 60 days, but only achieved this for five out of the nine months from April and December 2018.
According to OPM, the root causes of retirement application processing delays are paper-based applications, which often result in inaccurate data due to manual data-entry errors, insufficient staff and up to 40 percent of applications missing information needed to finalize processing.
Insufficient staffing is an especially important problem during the peak workload period from mid-January to February. During this period in fiscal years 2016 to 2018, OPM received an average of 13,200 applications per month, "a considerable increase over its average of about 7,200 per month at other times of the year."
OPM has tried to address this problem in the past, but with little success. The agency attempted to deploy an automated retirement processing system in 2008 and made efforts to address GAO's respective recommendations to improve the system, but terminated the modernization effort in February 2011.
In 2013 OPM crafted a "strategic vision for modernizing retirement applications processing" that "envisioned a paperless system that would timely authorize accurate retirement benefit payments, answer customers' questions, and promote self-service account maintenance." Of the plan's five key initiatives, two are developed and partially implemented, one is partially developed and two are partially developed and awaiting further direction from OPM's IT leadership.
However, OPM "was unable to provide estimated time frames or costs" for the plan's initial phases.
OPM officials said that "additional information technology modernization work is dependent on sufficient funding, support from the Office of the Chief Information Officer, and development of a tech enterprise architecture roadmap."
GAO stated such factors are important, but "do not preclude OPM from establishing estimated cost ranges and time frames — practices consistent with industry best practices and IT project management principles."
According to the report, OPM's lack of cost estimates and timelines for a modernization plan mean there are no measurable results with which to evaluate resource needs or interim progress.
OPM's retirement application processing modernization plans lack specific performance measures, such as a requirement to complete processing steps in a certain time frame — even though "agencies and payroll centers that submit these applications to OPM are required to do so within a certain time frame."
Also according to the report, "The number of unprocessed applications in inventory does not include disability retirement applications still pending approval." As a result, "OPM's performance information for both application errors and inventory does not reflect the full extent of processing delays because various applications have been excluded. OPM officials were unable to explain to us why or how they decided to exclude certain applications."
GAO made six recommendations, including that the "OPM should develop a retirement services IT modernization plan for initial project phases" and "develop and implement policies for assessing staffing strategies intended to improve processing times." OPM concurred with one recommendation and partially concurred with five recommendations.
This isn't the first time OPM's systems have been evaluated and found to need improvement, and these shortcomings are potentially a factor in a proposed reorganization of the agency.
According to OPM acting-Director Margaret Weichert, the federal employee retirement system is tied into the same system that currently processes security clearance background checks.
With a transition of OPM's National Background Investigation Bureau to the Department of Defense announced in April 2019, part of the funding source for maintaining the retirement system will be unavailable to agency leadership.
This rationale is part of why, in June 2018, the Trump administration proposed dismantling OPM and placing its different pieces among other executive agencies. The proposal included moving retirement services to the General Services Administration.
According to Weichert, merging federal retirement services with GSA could help the agency avoid financial problems, since GSA could help OPM modernize its aging IT infrastructure.
GAO recommended that OPM continue "to develop plans to modernize retirement IT systems … given that the details of the reorganization are still unknown and that the move ... may not occur in the near term, or at all."

I feel, it is a fallacy propagated that Indian Constitution includes Sikhs in the definition of Hindus. It just extends provisions of Hindu laws to 'Sikhs by religion'. Let us examine their claim dispassionately in three parts:
A. Constitutional Position
Many Sikhs assume that Article 25 of the Indian constitution includes Sikhs as Hindus. Article 25 says:
25. Freedom of conscience and free profession, practice and propagation of religion
(1) Subject to public order, morality and health and to the other provisions of this Part, all persons are equally entitled to freedom of conscience and the right freely to profess, practise and propagate religion
(2) Nothing in this article shall affect the operation of any existing law or prevent the State from making any law
(a) regulating or restricting any economic, financial, political or other secular activity which may be associated with religious practice;
(b) providing for social welfare and reform or the throwing open of Hindu religious institutions of a public character to all classes and sections of Hindus
Explanation I The wearing and carrying of kirpans shall be deemed to be included in the profession of the Sikh religion
Explanation II In sub clause (b) of clause reference to Hindus shall be construed as including a reference to persons professing the Sikh, Jaina or Buddhist religion, and the reference to Hindu religious institutions shall be construed accordingly
(Italics and Bolds for reference, not in the Constitution)
Read 25 (2) (b) closely again – the article extends the provisions regarding Hindu religious institions to Sikh religious institutions. It specifically mentions "Sikh Religion" as a term TWICE. 25 (b) is more about extending some Hindu provisions to Sikh, Buddhist and Jaina 'Religions'.. the word Religion is again mentioned herein.
In fact, the Constitution of India does not define any religion. India's Constitution does not give a definition of the term Hindu, but it does define to whom the 'Hindu Law' applies. The Hindu Marriage Act of 1955 (which by the way is not the Constitution), by stipulating in Section 2 that the Act applies:
(a) to any person who is a Hindu by religion in any of its forms and developments, including a Virashaiva, a Lingayat or a follower of the Brahmo, Prarthana or Arya Samaj,
(b) to any person who is a Buddhist, Jain or Sikh by religion, and
(c) to any other person domiciled in the territories to which this Act extends who is not a Muslim, Christian, Parsi or Jew by religion
Here again we see that though Hindu Marriage Act provides for laws related to marriages of Hindus but extends the provisions to 'Sikhs by religion'. It does acknowledge Sikhs as a seperate religion.
We read the fine-print and we notice that they do not extend the definition of Hindu to Sikhs, but the applicability of the act to "Sikh by religion".
Moreover, The Anand Marriage (Amendment) Bill, 2012 has been passed by the Indian Parliament, which extends the provisions of The Anand Marriage Act, 1909 to Indian Sikhs.
B. The insecurity of Sikhs regarding Article 25
Many currents of Hindutva try to appropriate Sikhs as a part of Hinduism or the larger Sanatan Religion and actively contest when a Sikh wants to say that Sikhism is a distinct religion. This attempt to appropriate Sikhs and to obliterate their separate identity gives rise to a counter-current that clearly and explicitly seeks the Indian Constitution to remove all such appendages that join the two.
The counter-point is understandable and needs to be placated with clear-hearted intentions of the larger majority.
If the RSS stops appropriating Sikhs into their larger pantheon of Gods, the insecurity of the micro-minority about being subsumed by the larger religion would also go away.
If my RSS friends happen to read this; may I suggest that RSS must issue a clear-cut statement about accepting Sikhism as a distinct religion; albeit a part of the Bharatiya Dharma traditions.
C. The Observation of Supreme Court:
In a significant ruling defining the status of communities like Sikhs and Jains within the Constitutional frame work, the Supreme Court on August 10, 2005 has declined to treat them as separate minority communities from the broad Hindu religion, saying encouraging such tendencies would pose serious jolt to secularism and democracy in the country. "The so-called minority communities like Sikhs and Jains were not treated as national minorities at the time of framing of the Constitution. Sikhs and Jains, in fact, have throughout been treated as part of wider Hindu community, which has different sects, sub-sects, faiths, modes of worship and religious philosophies," a Bench of Chief Justice R.C. Lahoti, Mr Justice D.M. Dharmadhikari and Mr Justice P.K. Balasubramanyan said.
This Observation has caused much consternation amongst Sikhs, though it does mention Sikhs as a part of 'Hindu community' rather than as a part of 'Hindu religion'. So, we can give it some benefit of doubt here. Though I wonder how the Supreme Court ignored the words "Sikh by Religion", while passing it's observation.
However, Hon'ble Supreme Court is not above the Constitution, and I feel ultimately the Constitution shall prevail despite a seemingly adverse observation. Some saner mind needs to put a review petition there, without the victimisation complex, just sticking to the points.
D. Why don't Sikhs oppose such laws?
Sikhs don't oppose all such laws bundling them with Hindus because first it does not include Sikhs into Hinduism; but rather it extends the provision of Hindu Laws to Sikhs. There is a wide difference in the legal position here.
Also the laws don't need opposition because the laws are not discriminatory in nature and are rather a harbinger of social justice to all. As far as rules regarding succession and other civil laws are concerned for example, I feel we are happy being a part of the society in general with adoption of common civil rules for all in due course.
Sikhs however have been registering their protest against Article 25(b) for a long time, and that is understandable.
In conclusion:
- Article 25 gives all 'religions' certain rights: and subsequently, the word 'Sikh religion' specifically and pointedly gives Sikhism the status of a separate religion.
- Hindu Marriage Act provides for laws related to marriages of Hindus; but extends the provisions to 'Sikhs by religion'. So in fact, it explicitly ends up dileneating Sikhism as a separate religion.
- I hope RSS accepts the Indian Constitution in Spirit and unequivocally declares its intent to finally accept Sikhism as a distinct religion with its own pantheon of scriptures, God (Akal Purukh), theology and traditions.

Kiln Dried Logs for Sale in Preston
Make sure you meet your winter fuel needs with good quality fuel from local Lancashire-based suppliers Logs Direct. Our business has been approved as both Wood Fuel and Coal Merchants, meaning that you can be sure of the quality of your logs, coal or smokeless fuel, and still at a good price.
Smokeless Fuel for Preston City Centre
Like most major towns and cities, Preston city centre lies under a DEFRA smoke control area, prohibiting the use of most fuels on open fires, and even some fuels on wood burning stoves. This means that you need to make sure that you're using the right fuel or the right appliance to heat your home.
The smoke control area in Preston roughly covers everything east and south of the M6 and north of the Ribble. This also includes Larches, Ingol, Cadley and Greyfriars, but not Cottam or Lea. For a better look at the area covered, you can download a map from the Preston Council website, in the left margin.
If you're covered by this area, then you should take a look at our smokeless fuels page, which has smokeless coal suitable for burning in these zones, even on open fireplaces. You can also check on the DEFRA site here to see if your appliance is exempt from the rules, in which case our low-moisture kiln dried hardwood logs are also a suitable fuel for your needs.
Kiln Dried for Lower Moisture Content
Especially important for wood burning stoves, making sure that your firewood has a low moisture content is one of the first things to consider when getting your winter fuel. By using our kilns to fire the wood before sending it out to you, Logs Direct can help your fire burn better, for longer, with less choking smoke and lower tar build up.
Although freshly chopped wood sounds romantic, the truth is that fresh or 'green' wood, high in moisture content, takes a long time to start burning and produces very little heat, since the extra water in the logs uses up all the energy. This also means that your fire creates thick, black smoke and is certain to damage a wood burning stove.
Buy your logs from us and you can be sure that we will dry it to below 20% moisture content for you, the ideal place for a cosy log fire.
Free Delivery in Dumpy Bags
For Preston customers, Logs Direct offer free delivery on all orders over £80 (less than the cost of a dumpy bag of kiln dried logs), and all your firewood is delivered in dumpy bags on a pallet, making it easier for you to manage. Delivery will usually take place in 7 working days.
If you have specific needs for your logs or their delivery, then just give us a call on 01524 812476 and we'll be happy to help you.

Insurance player Acko raises $65 million in Series C funding
Binny Bansal also participated in the funding round.
Non-life insurance company Acko has raised $65 million in its Series C financing round from Binny Bansal, co-founder of Flipkart; RPS Ventures, led by Kabir Misra, ex-managing partner at SoftBank; and Intact Ventures Inc. – corporate venture arm of Canada's largest property and casualty insurer.
The round also saw participation from existing investors such as Amazon, Accel, SAIF and TechPro Ventures.
Founded by Varun Dua in 2016, Acko General Insurance, it is among the first digital-only insurance company. It is among the newest entrants to the general insurance sector.
Acko uses a direct-to-consumer approach for distributing motor insurance, to enable favourable risk selection. It also offers small ticket insurance products such as rider insurance, mobile and appliance protection, ticket cancellation etc in partnership with more than 15 players in the internet ecosystem such as Ola, Amazon, redBus, Zomato and UrbanClap.
The insurer, that has completed 12 months of operations, has distributed insurance policies to over 20 million customers.
"The current round of funding demonstrates the confidence investors have in us and in our ability to transform how insurance will be delivered. We are excited to put the company on a rapid growth trajectory with this round of funding. Insurance is a capital intensive sector and as we grow, we will be raising more capital in compliance with the guidelines of the regulator" said Varun Dua, Founder and CEO, Acko.
Talking about this investment, Binny Bansal said, "Technology led insurance is expected to play a significant role in growth of the underpenetrated insurance sector in India." He further added, "Acko is the pioneer of digital-native insurance and I am delighted to partner in its exciting growth journey"
With this latest round of Series C funding, Acko's total funds raised stands at $107 million. Avendus Capital was the advisor to Acko on this fundraise.

A well-maintained furnace is typically one of the most durable appliances in your home. Nevertheless, there are times when you may need to call a technician to fix your heating system.
At Dave Broussard A/C & Heating, we service HVAC systems throughout Broussard, LA, and the surrounding areas. The following are a few causes that may lead you to call us to repair a breakdown in your furnace.
Dirty or Clogged Filter
Your furnace's filter improves your indoor air quality by collecting debris, allergens and other impurities. As it becomes full or wears down with use, you should periodically replace it. A clogged filter will force your furnace to work harder to push warm air through your home.
The extra work may cause your furnace to break down much earlier than it otherwise would. Our technicians can clean your equipment and replace your filter to keep your air quality fresh and maximize the life of your furnace.
Failed Blower Motor
Your furnace's blower keeps air moving around your home. If the blower fails, even the most efficient furnace will be unable to heat your house.
Mechanical failure is typically the result of the blower being clogged or overused. To keep your furnace's blower working properly for as long as possible, have a licensed technician clean your ducts and perform a tune-up of your furnace.
Power Supply Issues
Power supply failure can happen in electric and gas furnaces. Electric furnaces may short or blow a breaker due to bad wiring. Gas furnaces may not function properly if there is an issue with the gas line or the fuel that powers the unit.
Both gas and electricity can be very dangerous. Therefore, you should call a licensed HVAC professional if there could be a problem with your furnace's power supply.
Conscientious Furnace Professionals
If you experience furnace problems in your home or business, reach out to us for assistance. We serve clients throughout Broussard, Lafayette and Youngsville with a comprehensive menu of options.

Nvidia launched it's latest new MX150 GPU chip for laptops, its performance is really good. If you are thinking on buying a laptop that has an MX150 (dedicated graphics unit) on it, considering you are on a budget like most of us out there then it's a really good option.
I was on a budget and started searching on best budget laptops and noticed something. I saw a laptop that had the same configuration including the MX150 GPU chip that was about 30% less expensive as compared to the other one.
Now thinking logically why would the other brand sell on a price which was less than most of the laptops with the same configuration while I was looking for some online.
I decided to dig deeper on this.
I found out Nvidia has been sneaking in two variants of the MX150 chip.
One consumes less power i.e, is more power efficient but delivers 30-35% less performance than we would expect the MX150 GPU would deliver.
Laptop Companies/Brands don't even mention which variant of the chip are they using on the laptop. If you are buying a laptop from a dealer or from a store and if you ask any of their staff which variant of MX 150 is there in that specific laptop they won't be able to tell you.
Not because they don't want to, but because even they don't know which variant of the chip is there in that laptop.
How Can I Know Which Variant Do I Have?
Now there are many ways to find out which variant do you have. If you were thinking about how you would be able to distinguish between them and know if you are buying what you really do want to buy. This is for you people. These are very ways, so if you are not that tech savvy person still you would be able to know.
GPU-Z is an amazing problem and guessing from the name it displays each and every information that you might want to know about your graphics processor unit. Including the model number and much more.
It is a very small program in terms of size which is one of it's plus point. You just download the program and then just follow the steps and you will know instantly which variant does that specific laptop has in it.
There are 2 variants of MX150 GPU which can be distinguished by looking at the device id. Which is displayed in the device id section of GPU-z.
Many people fall into this trap thinking that "Oh! That laptop was more expensive than this laptop whereas this has the same configuration inside it and is also not that pricey so I'll just buy this one".
Most of us would have had this thought as most of us are on a budget often.
So, now whenever you go out looking for a laptop with the MX 150 chip inside you know what to do before buying.
" Nvidia's move to sneak the 1D12 variant into thin and light notebooks was probably to meet the 10W TDP envelope "
As opposed to the original variant's 25W. Luckily, the 1D12 variant has only appeared in 13-inch notebooks.
According to the 3DMark and 3DMark 11 tests, consumers can expect anywhere from a 20 to 30 percent performance hit with the less powerful variant.
Performance (MX150 – 1D10 Variant)
Here is what you can expect from what the 1D10 variant of this GPU should perform like in ideal conditions. You will get a basic idea of the frame rate/performance of this GPU paired with Intel's Core i5 (7th Gen).
- CPU; i5 7300HQ
- GPU; 2GB Nvidia Geforce MX150
- SSD; Samsung 850 Evo (M.2)
- Ram; 16GB DDR4
- Brand; MSI PL62 7RC
What's the difference between the 1d10 and 1d12 variant?
1d12 variant having a lesser core clock and memory clock as compared to the 1d10 variant, which delivers about 20-30% lesser performance than the 1d10 variant.
It seems 1D12 variant is much prefered for thin and light notebooks so that it would meet the 10W TDP envelope. Whereas the 1D10 variant (25 W) is much better and much prefer when it comes to performance.

There is a significant performance difference between the two variants. So, if you are on a budget and thinking of buying a laptop with MX150 GPU then make sure you check which variant it is. It is better to spend a little bit more and get what you should get, rather than spending all your money on the other variant thinking it is less expensive.

♦February 2017 marks the 25th anniversary of Tripwire, which began as a print magazine back in 1992. So every day from today, we shall be representing a classic interview or feature from our long history. Today's throwback is our chat with Frank Miller talking about 300, which ran back in Volume 2 #4, March/ April 1998. Interview by Scott Braden…
The Secret War
FRANK MILLER's exorcising ghosts and creating a timeless epic with his 300. TRIPWIRE's got the story. (TRIPWIRE VOLUME 2 #4, MAR/APR 1998)
This is not some stuffy, historical drama," Frank Miller warns from his home and workplace, somewhere below the Mason-Dixon. "This is the best damn story that I ever had my hands on. It's also as heroic a story as you'll find anywhere. It's something that, quite literally, transcends time with its power."
It's also been one of his greatest secrets that is, until now. This May, Dark Horse Comics will unveil Miller's 300 before the masses: his fictional account of an honest to goodness, blood and guts epic battle that changed the world forever.
Your world. My world. And ultimately, his own.
"When I was a kid," Miller reveals, "I saw a movie that was based on this little known battle in 480 BC. It made a permanent impression on me; an impression that eventually led to my obsession with Ancient Greece and the history of the war between the Greeks and the Persians. And I'd been telling myself for years that I should turn this into a comic book, because I knew how good a one it would make.
"Picture this: 2500 years ago, Greece was where mankind was just beginning to discover concepts like democracy, reason, and individual rights. The Greeks were on their way to essentially create the world that we live in today. And during this period, Greece was made up of several little republics. There was Athens which is the most well-known of these city-states. Then there was Sparta, which produced the greatest warriors who ever lived. The Spartans were a very rigid, feared people. If you picture something along the lines of the samurai warrior, you'll get an idea of the ethic they lived by."
"Meanwhile," Miller continues, "all of Asia was controlled by Persia. The king of Persia was a giant of a man named Xerxes—you can't make up names that good—and he had put together the largest army that ever existed. It was at least 300,000 strong."
"Wanting to broaden their influence, the Persians were determined to conquer
all of Greece, and the Spartans were the first of the Greek city-states to determine that they didn't want that to happen. So the Spartans found a narrow mountain pass that the Persians had to go through to invade mainland Greece, and with only a tiny contingent of men, defended that pass. For political reasons, Leonidas, 'the Lion's Son' and the king of Sparta, was only able to bring his personal bodyguard of 300 men.
And those 300, along with a handful of other Greeks, defended all of Greece against this unbelievable, military juggernaut changing the course of world history."
The Battle of the 300, as Miller calls it, has haunted him ever since. All these years, he has passionately embraced the lessons that this story taught: sacrifice, believing in the greater good, the definition of heroism. And when he finally got his break into comics years later, he created characters and situations that carried on where the 300 left off.
He told the BIG stories in a BIG way, transforming and transmigrating the medium. He was a student of the 300's power and presence. He was under their influence.
Just look at his work with Daredevil and Elektra. Experience Ronin and his Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. Get caught up in his Sin City. They are person- al triumphs, all. But not his most personal. That was yet to come.
"I've had this story in mind for many, many years," Miller says. "Again, I always knew that it would make an absolutely great comic book, but to tell you the truth, I was afraid of it. I knew that to do this story justice would take every ounce I had. I didn't know if I was up to the challenge."
But as the years progressed and Miller became more and more comfortable with his work, he finally felt the time had come. All he needed now was a publish- er that would let him tell that story.
Enter Dark Horse Comics.
"A couple years back," Miller explains, "I finally got around to telling [Dark Horse Comics Publisher] Mike Richardson that I've been aching to do this story since I was a little kid. And every few months, he'd call me up and ask when I was going to do 'that Spartan thing.' He was very eager to see it. And I would toy with the story every so often. I even used the battle as a prologue in one of my Sin City stories, which in a way, was me acting like a cat marking territory. I didn't want anybody else to snag it from me.
"As far as my going forward with the story itself, it really was a matter of get- ting the materials together and scrounging up the courage. So I went to Greece and spent three weeks researching the battle. I even walked the battlefield where the two armies fought. Finally, all the references were ready and I was out of excuses, so I just had to plunge in and do this thing."
Five issues and 130 pages later, Miller has immersed himself into what may become one of his greatest works. "Looking at the project (from an artist's per- spective)," Miller admits, "300 has a real wide-screen feel to it, because it's a story composed across double page spreads. It's been a real challenge for me to depict a story with such incredible scope. But as a writer, 300 has challenged me even more so, because of it's pure, unadulterated heroism. There is nothing cynical about this story, and there's nothing temporary about it.
"This is more of a change of pace for me than it would've been if I took on Conan the Barbarian. What I'm aiming to get across with 300 is a completely dif- ferent mindset; a different way of thinking. For instance, the narrative running through this story is told in first person plural. Because these soldiers were such a team – because the 300 were such a unit – they thought as one. And when the Spartans fought, they were like a single killing machine that moved in a rectangle across the battlefield. They fought shoulder to shoulder, to the extent that they did- n't even use their shields to cover just themselves; they would cover half of them- selves and half of the person next to them. So when it came time to draw the battles, I wasn't showing just one guy in a conveniently chaotic battle scene hacking away with a sword, I was showing an entire fighting unit. Getting the crux of that really tested my powers."
Miller pauses, smiling, "When I first found out about this story, it introduced me to themes that have been the basis for all of my work. Now that I'm finally being able to tell it, I've put a lot of myself into
something that I consider to be very personal.
Something epic."

This Bible study will examine the importance of forgiveness and what God's Word says about unforgiveness. We will evaluate whether unforgiveness is "the unforgiveable sin." We will see that receiving forgiveness from God is dependent on our forgiving others.
You have probably heard that unforgiveness is extremely unhealthy. In addition to destroying relationships in your life, internalizing anger and bitterness can lead to many physical diseases and psychological problems. That is why being unforgiving has been likened to drinking poison in the hope that it will hurt the person you are angry with.
As bad as it can be for you physically and mentally, unforgiveness is even worse for you spiritually. There is an element of revenge inherent in refusing to forgive someone for some wrong (real or imagined) that they committed against you. There is a desire to punish them in some way, even if it is just by withholding forgiveness. But God has reserved vengeance to Himself.
"Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord" (Rom 12:19).
The Bible records several occasions when Jesus taught His disciples that God would not forgive their sins if they did not forgive other people for their offenses.
While teaching "the Lord's prayer", Jesus taught that we should pray for forgiveness based on our forgiving others.
In the passage in Matthew, Jesus said the Father would not forgive us unless we forgive others.
Peter once asked Jesus how many times he should forgive someone, and Jesus said he should just keep on forgiving:
"Then came Peter to Him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven." (Matthew 18:21-22)
Jesus told a story about 2 servants that owed money. One owed his master a fortune he could never repay, but he was forgiven of his debt when for mercy he prayed. But that servant then refused to forgive a fellow servant of a much smaller debt. When the master heard how the servant he had forgiven had treated his fellow servant, he called him and said:
"O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow servant, even as I had pity on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him." (Matthew 18:32-34)
Jesus concluded the story with this warning:
"So likewise shall My heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not everyone his brother their trespasses" (Matthew 18:35).
Other passages where Jesus taught His disciples about the importance of forgiveness include:
The Bible commands us to forgive other people who have sinned against us or offended us. It also clearly teaches that the forgiveness of our sin is dependent on our forgiving others. If we hold grudges, stay mad, or in any other way fail to forgive other people, God will not forgive us of our sin.
Most sins occur as an event in time. We might lie, steal, cheat, say something mean, have an impure thought, fail to witness when we have opportunity, have sex outside of marriage, murder someone, etc. The effects of the sin may continue, and we may need to make some form of restitution or go to court. But once that act, moment, or event is over, we are no longer committing that sin. We sinned in the past, but we are not continuing to sin in the present.
Unforgiveness is different from other sins in that being unforgiving is an ongoing state. When you refuse to forgive, you continue sinning until you do forgive. You can confess that you should have forgiven someone or that you are being unforgiving, but as long as you stay mad, hold that grudge, or refuse to forgive, your sin is still in progress. You are still actively sinning.
Being unforgiving disqualifies us from claiming the promise of John 1:9 that if we confess our sins, God will forgive us. Confession means we agree with God that what we did was wrong, and we repent of doing it. However, if we are still in the middle of actively committing a sin (e.g.: by being unforgiving), then we have not repented of that sin. Therefore, God will not forgive it.
It continues downhill from there. In the context of talking about prayer, David said, "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me" (Psalm 66:18). Staying mad, refusing to forgive, holding a grudge (the on-going state of unforgiveness) breaks your fellowship with God, and results in God no longer listening to your prayers.
A Christian who holds a grudge does not lose their salvation. But God stops listening to their prayers and forgiving their sins. Their fellowship with God is broken, and they are likely to receive chastisement intended to bring them to repentance until they forgive. In this case, the only way to have their fellowship with God restored is to repent, forgive, and confess their sin of unforgiveness.
For God shall judge all you think, say, and do. (Eccl 12:13-14)
So FORGIVE. If someone offends you, talk with them and work it out (Matthew 18:15-17).
If you don't get satisfaction that way, let it go anyway. Be Christlike and obey.
Forgive others for your own sake, and trust God to work things out for good.

By: Claudia D. Orr
I am having flashbacks to when the regulations increasing the minimum threshold for white collar exemptions under the Fair Labor Standards Act were struck by a federal district court in Texas on November 22, 2016. The regulations, which would have required white collar exemption salaries to be no less than $913/week, would have taken place on December 1, 2018, just eight days later! By then, most employers had already determined which of its exempt employees would need to receive a salary increase and which would be reclassified as non-exempt and eligible for overtime. Many had already notified the affected workers.
This could have been made worse if the 2016 regulations had already taken effect when they were struck. Well, that is what may happen to Michigan's new Paid Medical Leave Act and the Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act which are now being challenged by the Michigan Legislature. Odd, you bet, given that it was the Legislature that just passed both laws at the end of the 2018 Regular Session.
But, with new legislators, come new voices. The issue is whether citizen led ballot initiatives, which would have placed more employee friendly versions before the voters in November, can be adopted by the legislature and amended (to be more employer-friendly) during the same legislative session. As you know, both laws took effect on March 29, 2019.
Why was this process followed last fall by the republican majority legislature? Because had the voters passed the laws, they could only have been amended or repealed by a subsequent vote of the citizens or by a 3/4th vote of the members in both chambers of the legislature. By adopting the law, and taking it off the November ballot, the legislature amended both laws by a simple majority of the vote and during the same 99th Legislature Session that had adopted the bills just months earlier. That is the rub. Can they do that?
Democratic State Senator Chang asked the new democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel to weigh in on the issue. To side step that maneuver, Republicans in the Legislature asked the Michigan Supreme Court to review the matter and issue an advisory opinion. The majority of the justices on the Supreme Court are generally viewed as being more conservative, but there have been some who have been swing votes recently.
On April 3, 2019, the Supreme Court issued an order that states it will "consider" whether to issue an advisory opinion. It has invited both chambers of the legislature (and any of its members) to submit briefs on: (1) whether the court should issue an advisory opinion, (2) whether the Legislature was permitted under Article 2, § 9 of the state constitution to "enact an initiative petition into law and then amend that law during the same legislative session," and (3) whether the two laws were properly enacted. The court also respectfully asked the Attorney General to submit separate briefs arguing both sides of those issues.
Briefs supporting the constitutionality of the enacted legislation are due on May 15 and those arguing against are due on June 19. Amicus curiae briefs by interested parties are permitted by leave of the court only.
For those who are interested in watching oral argument, the hearing will be streamed live on July 17, 2019 at 9:30 a.m. For further information, go to: https://courts.michigan.gov/courts/michigansupremecourt/oral-arguments/live-streaming/pages/live-streaming.aspx Sometimes you can get a sense of which way the justices are leaning by the questions asked. While the Supreme Court has not yet agreed that it will issue an advisory opinion, given the importance of these issues, we may see one as early as August.
So, what could happen? I hate to speculate, but if the laws were not properly amended, the original laws, as adopted by the legislature, may be back in play. That means that minimum wage could jump to $10 hour. Also, the original earned sick leave act applied to small employers having fewer than 10 employees, requiring them to provide not less than 40 hours of paid sick time a year and all other employers to provide not less than 72 hours of paid sick time a year. There are many other pro-employee differences as well.
At least this time around the already implemented changes if struck should not result in lower employee morale since the alternatives would likely be beneficial to workers. Of course, this is all speculation at this point. Stay tuned!

Whiplash is so common after a car accident in Texas, most people probably expect some neck and back stiffness, achiness and pain over the next few days or weeks.
According to the Mayo Clinic, whiplash symptoms may also include the following:
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Blurred vision and ringing in the ears
- Fatigue and sleep disturbances
- Problems with memory and concentration
- Depression, irritability and other mood issues
These same symptoms may also indicate a traumatic brain injury, though, and unfortunately, failing to identify a TBI for what it is can lead to severe problems. The Mayo Clinic warns that the after-effects of a TBI can lead to further brain damage.
Often, the same violent forward-and-back motion that causes whiplash also sends the brain crashing into the skull, in spite of its cushion of cerebrospinal fluid that normally protects it. When this happens, torn blood vessels can begin leaking into spaces between the brain and the skull or inside the brain itself, creating a pressure build-up, hemorrhage, stroke or another emergency that could cause secondary damage or even a fatality.
Some complications of a TBI may include post-concussion syndrome, which involves a continuation of the symptoms of a concussion for weeks or months after the injury. Similarly, post-traumatic headaches or vertigo may begin and continue days, weeks or months after the initial trauma. Second impact syndrome, though rare, is an often fatal brain swelling that occurs when someone experiences a second concussion while still recovering from the first.
Whenever a brain suffers a concussion, the levels of chemicals in the brain change. How long it takes for these to re-stabilize depends on the person and the injury. Diagnosis and proper treatment of a TBI after a car accident are critical.
