text: An amendment to cut the Strategic Defense Initiative research budget by $3 billion was before the House of Representatives Wednesday. Proponents argued that the money ought to be used for traditional weaponry because they believe that the SDI computer system is much too complicated and won`t be reliable because it will break down. The amendment failed to pass, but we should point out that it took the better part of an hour for congressmen to cast their votes. Why? The House computer used to record votes went on the fritz and the congressmen had to cast their votes the old-fashioned way-by an oral roll call.

Marriage is a sacred institution, it is the holy union of two individuals. The basis of marriage should be truth and trust. There should be no secrets between partners. The two individuals should share their joys and sorrows with each other and they can easily cross the river of life.
Three things cannot be long hidden: The Sun, the Moon and the TRUTH – Buddha
There is one incident in my life where I chose to tell the truth rather than hiding the fact. I could have hidden the fact and got away with it easily, but I decided the other way round. Before marriage, I had undergone a surgery for the removal of cysts in my ovary and in that one ovary had to be removed. It could have caused problems in my coming life. But the doctors assured me that it was not that much a bigger problem.
When I got engaged to my would be hubby, I always wanted to share this secret with him. Why after engagement, because before engagement, we never got that opportunity to talk so much in privacy. But during the courtship time I got this opportunity and I spoke my heart out.
Even though my mom (being a caring and concerned mom) had told me not to share this fact with him. It was so because I come from a place where people don't know about such things and no one would marry their son to such a girl who had a surgery. There are very few people ( friends, family and my hubby) who know about this secret of mine.
I still remember that day, it's very fresh in my mind. On a weekend day, sitting in a park under a tree on a bench, I told him about this secret of mine. He was confused about this ovarian cysts, he never knew about that. He got a little tensed about the uncertainties of the coming future. He had many questions going on in his mind.
But when I assured him and told him about the doctor's words, he was convinced. But one thing which impressed him was my truthfulness and he trusted me and also never shared this fact with anyone else. And now we are a happy parents of a healthy and very naughty boy.
If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything – Mark Twain
If one person hides some facts or tells a lie, his conscience will always be reminding him to tell the truth. If you always speak the truth and never hide the facts, then you will never have to be extra cautious while speaking so that the truth doesn't come out in spurts of anger or excitement. I shared my secret with my hubby and removed the burden from my heart.
You can watch the TV commercial of Kinley which shows that speaking the truth makes you feel lighter and happy. When you have no untold secrets to hide, you are always very carefree and at peace with yourself.

These are the 2017 Frankfurt motor show sights you may have missed.
So you've seen all the amazing new production and concept cars at what's shaped up to be an exciting event. But what you may not have seen is the other side of the show – the less glamorous, but no less interesting, sights, things and yes even cars that we've unearthed. In short, these are the underdog stars of the show; we hope you agree.
TransportPanzer Fuchs
Originally developed by Daimler in 1979, the TPz is now built by Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles and 1,236 are in service with the German Army. It weighs 17 tons (37,500 lbs) and is powered by a 320bhp Mercedes V8 diesel. Top speed is 65mph (105 km/h). It is designed for reconnaissance in Nuclear-Biological-Chemical warfare situations.
So, broadly speaking, we hope this is the only time you ever see one.
Mercedes-Benz 600 Pullman Limousine
Dictators rejoice. This glorious beast can be yours to buy at the show. However, you will need to loot even more money from your long-suffering subjects, as it will cost you €1.49 million (US$1.78m, £1.34m). Not a dictator, but simply an eccentric millionaire? Then this is a very good way to emphasise to your friends your embryonic mid-life crisis, with a side order of narcissistic personality disorder.
'Change urban mobility' is the slogan. The devil in us secretly hopes that it is a subversive up-yours to all the glamorous, grandiose cars on display, and is simply suggesting that the solution to getting around while reducing traffic levels is simply to drive tiny cars like this contraption. We're sure it'll catch on.
Seriously though, the car features a 8kWh electric engine, good for a range of 120km (75 miles), or 215km (134 miles) with a larger 14.4kWh engine. Top speed is 90 km/h (56mph).
PAL-V Liberty
A flying car from Dutch firm PAL-V. It claims that its Liberty machine will be the first production-model flying car. It also claims that it will blend into normal traffic when needed, and then fly over it when that becomes too tiresome.
PAL-V Liberty
It is scheduled to cost €500,000 (£451,000 & US$598,000), excluding taxes, and comes with a 'familiarization course at delivery by PAL-V Lead Flight Instructor', an offer we strongly suggest you take up.
BB 911 Rainbow
German designer Rainer Buchmann founded the BB company in 1974, and has been turning out customised Porsches and Mercedes ever since. Part of the Frankfurt show celebrated his work.
BB 911 Rainbow
His Rainbow targa is an early effort from 1976, based on a Porsche 911 Turbo, featuring a 2993cc boxer-six (of course!), good for 168mph. These today sell for around €800,000 (£720,000 & US$960,000), and is notable since the original 911 Turbo was never officially available with a targa top.
BB 911 Turbo
Buchmann created this Turbo coupe version in 1980.
BB Mercedes 500 SEC Magic-Top
32 years before the modern S-Class Cabriolet, Herr Buchmann produced this hard-top convertible SEC.
BB Mercedes 500 SEC Magic-Top
The roof mechanism may look more than a little convoluted to modern eyes, but this is as good as things got in 1984 with a hard-top.
Avrora Robotics Mars A-800
This is a futuristic robot tank from Russian firm Avrora. As the name might suggest, we dare say you could use it on Mars as well as Earth.
Thunder Power SUV
This is a new electric SUV from Hong-Kong based Thunder Power. It disturbingly reminds us of the monstrous Mercedes GL-based Aston Martin SUV concept that put in an appearance at the 2009 Geneva motor show and has never been seen since. We wish this car (not much) better fortune.
Mercedes-Benz 280SE
How beautiful is this car? The W111 convertible first emerged at the 1961 Frankfurt motor show. In 1969 a final series model was introduced, where the 280SE could be fitted with a 200bhp 3.5-litre engine, good for 130mph. These cars are very valuable now, but the €595,000 (£537,000 & US$713,000) for this (admittedly mint) show model seems a bit rich even by the increasingly unhinged pricing standards of the classic car market.
Mercedes-Benz Brabus G900
This is the car for you if you think the standard Mercedes G65 AMG just isn't good enough. Unveiled at the show, the Brabus takes the V12 621bhp, 738lb ft of the G65 and boosts it up to 1,106lb ft. This gets this beast to 60mph from rest in 3.9 seconds, off to a top speed of 168mph. Only 10 will be made, and you'll have to find US$800,000 (£600,000) if you want one.
Mercedes 280SL (W113)
This is one gorgeous car, and looks to be in superb condition. However, the €298,000 (£268,000, US$357,000) show sticker-price for this car seems somewhat ambitious. Perhaps our eccentric millionaire will come along for more punishment. These cars regularly sell in good condition for over £150,000 (US$200,000) in the UK.
Brabus Adventure
After the G900, this G550-based off-road special seems almost tame. Brabus has tuned up the twin-turbo 4-litre V8 engine to 550bhp and 590lb ft of torque, taking the car to 60mph in 6.7 seconds and a limited top of 130mph.
Yanfeng XiM18
You may not have heard of Yanfeng, but the Chinese firm is a world leader in the production of car interiors. The XiM18 concept car transforms itself into various modes depending on what the operator desires: Drive, Family, Meeting and Lounge.
Yanfeng XiM18
Whether or not such a vehicle ever comes to pass, it's certainly a good example of how the packaging gains of electrification can be put to good use.
Ford Fiesta Mk1 (1976)
Your writer drove his first car in one of these, aged about seven on the lap of his grandma, on a private road. So I will forever love the first Fiesta, and I would suggest it still looks great. For generations of Europeans, it's been their first car and some of us like me still have one. 16 million Fiestas have sold in total, 4.5 million of them in Britain, but the 1976 original formula of a simple, well-packaged, easy-driving car set the template.
Ford Capri Mk1 (1968)
Conceived at its launch in 1968 as a European Ford Mustang, and designed by an American, it never quite worked out that way. But no matter – the Capri was for a long time the real-world car that youngsters aspired to, and often acquired when they got the chance. Ford sold 1.9 million of them through to 1986 over three generations, and did wonders for Ford's image across Europe.
Ford Torino (1968)
This macho coupe was also first produced in 1968 and was an offshoot of the existing Ford Fairlane. It featured a 3.3-litre six-cylinder engine as standard, with GT versions getting a 4.9-litre small-block V8. In 1975, towards the end of the car's production it found everlasting fame, with the white swoosh, as the star car of the popular TV series Starsky & Hutch.
Mazda Cosmo 110S (1967)
The Cosmo was first launched in 1967 and the following year this racing version was produced. The Cosmo was one of the first production cars to be equipped with a rotary engine and Mazda wanted to show how reliable the engine could be. It planned an ordeal-by-fire, with an entry into the gruelling 84-hour Marathon de la Route at the Nürburgring, and one of its cars finished in a very respectable fourth place. The car continued until 1996, spanning four generations, and kept with the rotary throughout.
Mercedes-Benz C111 (1970)
Featuring a four-rotor Wankel 2.4-litre, the C111 produced 350bhp and could reach 186mph. Enhancements later saw the car crack 200mph at Italy's Nardo circuit.
Mercedes-Benz C111 (1970)
It was later fitted with a conventional 4.8-litre turbo V8, and set an average lap speed of 251mph in 1979. For some people, the C111 is the ultimate concept car.
Porsche 914/6 (1969)
The 914 of 1969 was conceived to replace both the Porsche 912 and the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia, and the project was run by one Ferdinand Piëch. Back then, the relationship between Porsche and VW was complex to say the least, and the two companies fell out. The resulting six-cylinder 914/6 – as shown here – ended up being almost as expensive as the 911 and sold poorly, though the four-cylinder 914/4 was much cheaper and sold well.
Porsche 914/6 (1969)
The model limped on until 1972, when its would-be 916 successor was dumped. Just 3,351 of the 914/6 were sold against 118,000 914/4s. The resulting rarity has yielded great benefits for long-term owners; 914/6s now sell for over £100,000 (US$130,000). We think it still looks great from the front, with its flat-nose 911-look, but the back… not so good.
The debacle didn't seem to harm Dr Piëch's career too much, and these days Porsche is fully part of Volkswagen, despite an infamous effort for VW to be part of Porsche, undertaken in 2008.
Volkswagen Rieger-Scirocco
The Volkswagen Scirocco achieved something of a cult status, and this lairy wide-arched Rieger tuned version formed a cult-within-a-cult. These cars sell today for around €35,000 (£32,000 & US$42,000).
Mercedes-Benz SGS 500SEC
How about this for a slice of Eighties excess? This 1984 500SEC featured a lazy 5-litre V8 good for 231bhp, customised by Hamburg's Styling Garage.
Mercedes-Benz SGS 500SEC
You can buy this car for €60,000 (£54,000 & US$72,000).
Volkswagen Golf GTi Mk1 (1976)
After the original Golf (then called Rabbit in the US) was launched in 1974, Volkswagen two years later fitted a 1.6-litre fuel-injected engine and produced the world's first hot-hatchback. Good for 110mph, it would spawn a host of imitators to this day.
Volkswagen Golf GTi Mk1 (1976)
The original and best? Well, not quite. We recently drove all the Golf GTIs and concluded that, on balance, the Mk5 of 2005 was the essence of the badge.
Audi's robot band
It's a robot rock band. On the Audi stand. Which is kind of fun, we think.
Gullwing & 356-X-Ray Art
X-Ray versions of the Mercedes 300SL Gullwing and Porsche 356. The image is designed to promote a book called 'X-Ray: see through the world around you', by Nick Veasey. A photographer, Veasey uses specialised imaging equipment to create images that see within.
Mercedes-AMG GT 3D Printed Car
A Mercedes model, printed on a machine. All they need now is a bigger printer, and they could make a real one. They will then need a name for the full-sized-car-printing-machine… thing. How about 'production line'? We can see this catching on.
RTB Dodgem
RTB specialises in parking systems, and it claims that this is the first electric car, from 1963. Not quite; that actually came out in 1888. RTB has converted this dodgem to run on battery power with a 25-minute range, so it doesn't need an overhead supply.
Shame – we think the poles, sparks, and funfair roadie riding on the back are integral parts of any dodgem ride.
IMSA Mercedes-Benz AMG GT
Germany's IMSA has been going since 1999 but nobody has heard of them as they've been so low profile. Their plan at this show is to raise their profile. They specialise in tuning Mercedes – GT, G-Wagen, S-Class, and C-Class.
IMSA Mercedes-Benz AMG GT
As brutalist tuner cars go, this AMG GT isn't a bad effort.
Forget electrification and autonomy, where we're going doesn't need roads. Aeromobil plans this flying car to be in production by 2020 with a price tag of around €1.5m (£1.4m & £1.79m).
The company hails from Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, and the car/plane's order-book should open shortly.
City E-Taxi
This car claims to be the length of a Smart ForFour with the interior space of an S-Class – but it's just a three-seater McLaren style; one up front and two in the back with their feet alongside the driver. It is an electric city car but you don't need to recharge it – you just swap the flat batteries for a full set.
Mahle Meet
This is purely a concept for an electric city car, with no plans to put it into production. British firm Mahle is trying to guess at what things will be like in 10 years' time and is creating concepts to suit.
Volocopter VC200
Forget planes, drones and copters are the future for urban mobility. Well, that may be the view of Daimler. The parent company of Mercedes has recently invested US$30 million into this venture, which should see a pilot programme shuttling people around Dubai by the end of 2017.
Volocopter VC200
We don't not like it.
Rotwild R.S2 Limited Edition
Yet another urban transport solution. This device, known as a 'bicycle', is a joint-venture between Rotwild and Mercedes-AMG. It weighs just 7.38kg (15.8lb), comes in five frame sizes, and is limited to 50 units. Not quite sure of the price, but an earlier AMG bike currently costs €10,000 (£9,000 & US$12,000).
Any motoring journalist will tell you that attending the Frankfurt motor show is a sport in itself. It's not just fighting through the crowds of scribblers and snappers, but the sheer distances; the show is in 12 different halls, covering 367,000 square-meters, and it involves a lot of walking around: meine herr and meine herren, this is the solution.
Cars Car
A car from Cars, made of model cars.
AC Cobra
There is always space in an Autocar gallery for the AC Cobra.
Electric Citroen 2CV pick-up
One of the finest new electric cars at the show, we think.
Believe it not, with their sentiment that 'the oil age is ending', Greenpeace is in broad agreement with most of the car company executives at the event.
Matreshka bus
Forget driverless cars, this is a Russian driverless bus. With a range of 80 miles and a top speed of 20mph, production is due to begin this year.
Police Ford Mustang
This is marvellous; it would be an honour to be pulled over by this car.
ThyssenKrupp Sunriser
This solar-powered car was produced by a team at Bochum University of Applied Sciences, and came third in the Bridgestone World Solar Challenge in 2015. It has a top speed of 120km/h (75mph).
Renault Twizy, with Caravan
This is rather adorable…
Volkswagen Type 2
We have seen endless modern reincarnated concepts of the microbus, but the original is best.
And finally...
We don't know who you are, Mr Snapper, but you have by far the finest moustache at the 2017 Frankfurt motor show. Yes, even better than Dieter Zetsche's. And that's saying something, and is important. Hang on…, you're wearing a Mercedes lanyard too. What's going on?

Last night I met Michael W. Smith!! And let me just start by saying he is quite the handsome man – not to mention incredibly talented. He has been one of my favorite Christian Music artists since the 80s when a friend introduced me to CCM (Contemporary Christian Music). The Lord certainly blessed him with an amazing gift of writing, producing and singing music.
His oldest son, Ryan, has also been blessed with amazing talents. And a friend of Ryan's also happens to be a Free Will Baptist acquaintance of ours, Mark Cowart. Mark owns a local film production company called Seabourne.
Anyway, Randall House, Seabourn Productions and Michael W. Smith have been working together on two short films that will be used as a Video Bible Study Curriculum Series. The films have been completed and yesterday was their Premiere. If you click on the link connected with Mark Cowart's name in the previous paragraph you will be able to read about the films on his blog.
Randall House will be writing the curriculum for the Bible Study that will accompany each film. The curriculum is still in the process of being written. The studies will be released this coming summer.
Anyway, Ron and I went to the last Premiere last night. There were three screenings yesterday. Last night's screening was for the cast, crew, writers and producers. So, while I was expecting a room full of Christian music artists, I was quite satisfied to meet and chat with just Michael. He is a wonderfully personable and friendly man of God. And, as I said earlier, quite handsome as well. I so wanted to get pictures of him but Ron said no. He said this really wasn't a fan/star kind of event. So, I was going to be satisfied with merely meeting him and being able to say so. But when we arrived I noticed that a friend of ours was the photographer. So, before it started I pulled her aside and explained that I would love our picture taken with Michael. She agreed. When the screening was over Ron and I went up to Michael to say a few things. Tammy slid up and took a series of pictures. They aren't posed pictures with the three of us smiling at the camera. But I am fine with that. She is a very professional photographer and does wonderful work. Therefore I know I will be pleased with them. When she emails them to me I will be sure to post them here.
It was a fun night. The films were amazing. The Lord is blessing. And I got to meet Michael W. Smith – who I have loved since I was a teenager. Life is good1

I didn't think that I would feel this way. I wrote yesterday about seeing goodbye in her eyes….. It wasn't that I saw them, it was more about what I felt in my heart. To say I am at peace isn't completely the case but it's pretty close. To say that I am satisfied, I'm not, but I have accepted the situation enough to move forward. This alone is a tremendous step for me. Almost a milestone accomplishment.
When to stay or when to move on, is an issue of the heart and mind and both need to be of the same accord. It took a long time for my heart to catch up to my mind. All the questions of why me? How could it happen? What didn't i do right? Only to realize, it wasn't just me.
I share in the blame for sure, my own wrongs, failures, disappointments. But for her to fail to acknowledge her part, is unacceptable. It truly is time to move forward, with hope and a future before me. What next is before me and I will find the one who truly loves me the way that I should be loved.

Dear Family,
So, Want to know what I did this week? I broke into the house of the first councilor of the Stake, I became a Spy for a day with the Zone Leaders, we are increasing the workload, and we taught a less active family what is not a fireside reunion. I will leave you hanging ´cause I gotta go, but we are achieving more success here and I love this great opportunity to raise my voice unto my brethren here in Tijuana, and I appreciate all the love and prayers that I receive from Home. I know that this is the work of the Lord, and it is never easy but the sacrifice of our time, of our money, of all our energies is well worth the eternal reward our Lord has promised us. We have baptisms coming up, and I'll keep you informed.
Hey Cami I have a job for you- could you define the word Apprehensive for me? Please? Actually, Kenzie hasn't written me for a while, but I am glad she received her Patriarchal Blessing, and I hope she continues to prepare herself for the Call to serve our king. I hope President Starkie is all right, let him know that he doesn't need to worry about me. Send my salutations a Bro Kitchens.
I love you all,
Elder TOBLER

By Word For Peace Editor
Hazrat Abu�Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,� "Verily, Allah likes three things for you and disapproves three things for you. He likes that you should worship Him Alone, not to associate anything with Him (in worship) and to hold fast to the Rope of Allah and not to be divided among yourselves; and He disapproves for you irrelevant talk, persistent questioning and the squandering of the wealth."
[Muslim Book 018, Chapter 03, Hadith # 4255].
So, what do we learn from this hadith or the Prophetic tradition?� As mentioned in Surah Al-Jathiyah, verse: 06. �Then in which speech after Allah and His�Ayat�will they believe?"
Beside�stressing Tauhid, holding fast to the Rope of Allah and unity (which are greatly liked by Allah), this Hadith forbids unnecessary debate, hair-splitting and extravagance as all the three are disliked by Allah. Wealth has a great importance in man's life since it is the very source of sustenance and basis of his livelihood, its wastage is akin to cutting the branch of the tree on which one is sitting.

Sarah's Fairy Garden has been a big hit. Over the past week she has been adding to it and figuring out more fun things for the fairies to do. Did you know they drive cars? Well, they do. I thought knitting up some little mushrooms would be fitting, but that got me to thinking, "don't gnomes live in mushrooms?" I've always been more partial to the gnome. I blame my dad. For some reason he had this book in his library. It makes very little since as I look back. He was an attorney for Chevron, he only read non-fiction about WWII or the presidents, and he smoked a pipe. So where did this gnome book come from? After he died, he left his book collection to a good friend and I honestly don't know what happened to it. But I have some very vivid memories of flipping the pages in this book and giggling with friends as we looked at the illustrations of naked gnomes. I'm not imagining that, am I? I now feel the need to buy this book.
Where was I going with all this…Oh, so I've been busy knitting up some mushroom homes. I want to be all inclusive here and make a garden welcoming to the fairies and the gnomes. I even knit a little hat for a peg doll, but Sarah took one look and said it needed wings. So there seems to be a bit of a battle between gnomes and fairies. And that has me thinking if gnomes and fairies actually get along? In our garden I think they will have to for now. But more research is definitely in order.
I've linked to Keep Calm Craft On and Yarn Along. Go have a peek at what others are busy creating this week.

Arizona school bus driver accused of threatening, shoving studentsPosted: Updated:
A southern Arizona school bus driver was arrested on allegations she threatened and shoved students, including pushing one hard enough that he fell and hit his head.
Colleen Weinstein, 50, was released from jail on $70,000 bond Tuesday, according to the Cochise County Sheriff's Office. Weinstein was arrested a day earlier on 20 counts of disorderly conduct and endangerment, two counts of threats and intimidation and three counts of aggravated assault.
According to deputies, they were called the afternoon of Feb. 26 in Hereford to respond to a verbal altercation between the Coronado Elementary School bus driver and several students. After spending a few days interviewing 20 students, investigators arrested Weinstein on Monday.
Sheriff's officials said the incident began when Weinstein allegedly pushed a student down the aisle, yelled at other students and then stopped the bus. She then allegedly pushed another student toward a seat, causing him to fall and hit his head on a window, investigators said.
She is also accused of leaving the bus unattended and trying to intimidate some students after they exited the bus by following them.
Weinstein, who has been employed by the Palominas School District for less than a year, was fired during a school district board meeting Tuesday, the Sierra Vista Herald reported. Superintendent Marylotti Copeland said the district is now reviewing the transportation department to make "certain we're doing everything we need to do going forward, to keep another incident like this from happening again."
A message seeking comment was left at a phone number listed for Weinstein but was not immediately returned Wednesday. It was not known if Weinstein had retained an attorney.

What: Revealing complexities on–and off–the island, Cuba Is explores aspects of Cuba not easily accessed by foreigners–and sometimes not even by Cubans themselves. Over 120 photos feature subjects ranging from defiant youth known as Los Frikis to the hard-partying children of the 1%, the underground system of sharing digital content – El paquete to Miamis Chonga girls.
Cuba Is also includes archival images and work done on assignment by four photographers: Elliot Erwitt, Leysis Quesada, Ral Caibano, and Tria Giovan, along with an original documentary, produced by the Annenberg Foundation, highlighting these photographers at work. A virtual reality experience will bring the viewers directly into Cubas current and dynamic music scene.
When: September 9, 2017
7:00pm-10:00pm (open to the public)
A celebration featuring Cuban cuisine, cocktails, music, pop-up dance performances and more.
RSVP: firstname.lastname@example.com

At the beginning of the academic year (early September), the Sterrewacht holds a "Science Day" in the de Sitterzaal. This is a full day of presentations by the faculty, postdocs, phds and masters students. This day allows you to get a broad overview of all the different topics in astronomy people are working on here in Leiden.
There are a number of talks throughout the week. Here is a quick summary:
Discovery Talks and free lunch - Every Tuesday at 12:30 in de Sitter zaal. Two 15 minute presentations on discoveries made in Leiden's Science faculty in the past week. These talks are not astronomy-specific, but are in any scientific field. And free lunch afterwards!
If you need to book a room for a journal club or meeting, email or speak to the secretaries in room 551. You can see current reservations here (but only from inside the University firewall).
The main vein of astronomy outreach at the observatory is Universe Awareness. This organization targets young children around ages 4-10 and focuses particularly on developing countries. One of its main goals is to bring the wonders of the universe to classrooms and student that typically do not get exposure to astronomy. To get involved, you can sign up as a Student Ambassador through their Ambassador Programme. They are a friendly bunch, so if you have any questions you can stop by their office in Room 400.
Check out all the other outreach activities that happen at the Sterrewacht here: Outreach
The annual Dutch Astronomy Conference (NAC for short) is a Dutch-Belgian astronomy conference that many PhDs attend, and like the NOVA fall school it is a great place to meet other PhDs and network with the astronomy community. Although the conference is organized locally, it is in English.

Today's programme was part of the rehabilitation process undertaken by the State Government.
The cadres of the group have already been given three months' vocational training at the Art of Living Foundation, Pune.
Thereafter, they were given vocational training in driving, poultry farming, piggery and fish farming.
Apart from providing stipend to the leaders and cadres of the group, one time financial assistance along with weapon incentive will also be given.
The State Government through the Joint Monitoring Group is closely monitoring for early implementation of the Special Rehabilitation Package provided for the cadres in the Tripartite Agreement to enable them to lead a normal life, said the press release.

I think this was the most perfect weekend ever. Seriously.
It started with a relaxing 3–mile walk with Jon on Friday evening and heading to bed at a normal (i.e. not weekend) hour. Then I was up and energized much earlier than normal for a Saturday morning. And hour later I had read some Women's Running in bed, enjoyed 30 minutes of yoga made my tea and was sitting down for some blog reading. All before Jon got up, which for a weekend in my house, is amazing.
Then I had a great 5 mile run in perfect 53 degree weather, followed by an afternoon coffee shop date and a quick grocery run. Sunday we were snowed in by yet another winter storm, so we listened to a podcast, watched a movie, worked on graphic stuff… all around just the perfect relaxing weekend.
I also stepped on my scale for a bi–monthly weight check and saw the lowest number in ages. More proof that when I focus on my health, my strength and how I feel, that number tends to take care of itself.
And so as I head into a snowy week 3 of half–marathon training, today's motivation is all about goals.
Set 'em, work for them, fight for them, knock them out of the park.
Like what you read? Share with a friend!

Day 1
Not gonna create a journal here or anything…but a quick blurb.
Today is day 1 of a "diet". It isn't so much for me, although a few less pounds would make life a little easier. I am as happy in my body as I would be in any body. This is more about my son, who really needs to drop some weight.
He wants to go hunting, so we are going to tie his deep, deep desire to go hunting into weight loss and fitness. Like I tell him, in Texas you can't make it out of the thick brush with a deer unless you are in shape. I have known folks who died doing it due to age and poor fitness.
He is a really good shot, and knows more about guns than anyone I have ever met (at the age of 12). A quick glance at a photo, and he once told me, "That is the Romanian AK. See how it has the foregrip attached already? That is the Romanian build". He loves the 2nd Amendment, and our recent weekends spent in target practice (with a .22 rifle, and a few shots from a 30-30 Marlin) have been very good bonding for us.
So wish us luck. I want my son to know some of the things I knew growing up. While I may ride a desk, I can still fend for myself in the wilderness. I am not a survivalist…just experienced with running in the wild.

NEW DELHI: Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi called
for a "tsunami of women members in the Congress" and said his party will field
women candidates in the upcoming assembly elections wherever possible.
"We have to transform the organisational structure of
the Congress. There has to be a tsunami of women members in the Congress,"
Rahul said. He was speaking at a function 'Sankalp Diwas' organised here by the
All India Mahila Congress to commemorate former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi's
birth anniversary.
"Wherever there is a possibility of fielding women
candidates in elections, we will field them," he said. The aim of the function
was to press for the women's reservation bill that allows 33 per cent
reservation of seats for women in the Lok Sabha and the state assemblies.
He also said police action alone cannot end the
oppression of women and argued that when women get empowered, the attitude of
men towards them changes and they give more respect. "We will have to give more
power to women," the 44-year-old leader said.

Here's a few images of the various silicon devices we have extracted so far. First, an overview shot showing the range of sizes:
Two of the large chips are a DRAM and Pentium 4- these are about 1 cm on a side. The smallest is perhaps 0.25mm on a side- here's a magnified view (epi-brightfield):
Most likely this is a transistor, possibly a MOSFET. The two Gold contacts are where it connects to the rest of the circuit board, and several distinct layers of metal can be observed. Because this is reflected brightfield illumination, the colors are due to properties of the device (other imaging methods can 'colorize' the object in specific ways). Another example of a diode is here:
Functionally, the two devices are similar- but there are also some obvious differences between the two. What the 'structure-function' relationship is for these two devices is not known to us, but in any case these devices are fairly simple.
By contrast, this is a larger chip from a cell phone:
which has a lot of really cool looking inductors. This image and the next are both epi-brightfield.
and this is a reflected darkfield image of the same region:
This is clearly a fairly complex circuit.
Here are some images taken approaching the magnification limit of imaging- these images are a small portion of a DRAM, taken at 160x magnification:
The top image was taken using epi-DIC imaging, while the lower image is epi-brightfield. The periodic 'wires' are spaced 12 pixels across, which corresponds to 0.4 microns- these images are near the fundamental limit of imaging systems.

I heard at school from my instructor that Millis is transitioning into automatics. I actually didn't get my chosen trainer because they just gave her a new 2015 Kenworth automatic. I personally want to drive manual for a few years but must say I wouldn't mind an automatic after that. We haul mostly beer and from what I hear it doesn't change the ability to haul it like a manual transmission.
there are some trucks that have " trannies " that have "paddle " shifts" ,,,in an essence you pull up the paddle to up shift / and push down to to down shift ,,and they have a clutch ,,and incorporate the clutch when shifting as well ...( trassystems ) sugar beet haulers 'Idaho " and mining " in nevada green trucks " have these trannies ....
in the ultra shifts you can hold the gear in the MANUAL pattern and use toggle button ..to traverse up OR down hills .. & there is a anti roll feature so it wont allow it to roll back when starting on an incline ....
then as I said " many experienced drivers " say you have to get used to the tranny cause it takes a long time to get up to highway speeds ,, over shifting a manual ...or when progressive shifting ..style is used for us old timers ...and the computer uses the 1000 to 1500 power band and shift up @ 1500 ..unless you hold in manual mode ...and wont down shift until 900 rpm sometimes ...
we used to suggest students stay on a manual 9-13 speed for 1 yr. out of school ,,so they wouldn't for get how to shift one ... but to each their own ...and had many come back to Sage to re learn how to shift ,,a year later ...
Interesting thread. USXpress is a company I had considered. But knowing that they were famous for auto's, I contacted one of their reps about having a choice as to what truck you get to drive...auto vs. manual. I was told that you drive what's available. Needless to say, I prefer to get my experience driving manual...I think it'll be awhile before auto's are the norm out there.
Operating While Intoxicated
Yea that's what I'm hearing at school too about companies going automatic. One of the guys told me he trained on a auto cause PAM uses autos but had no restrictions on his cdl. I have also heard of companies going to auto sticks and from what I heard that is a transmission that allows you to choose between manual or auto. Now that would be pretty cool.
Funny you to mention this the first gen. Auto shifts and ultra shifts had this very option. I have not seen the newer Trans and can only speak of the earlier stuff but they were not all that bad.
A CDL is required to drive any of the following vehicles:
When a violation by either a driver or company is confirmed, an out-of-service order removes either the driver or the vehicle from the roadway until the violation is corrected.
I'm hittin' on some old threads; ah well, I love cheese.
Back in the 90's when I drove there was talk of auto's, but you really didn't see one. And I hope, I hope, I hope it stays this way. Driving manual shift is simply more easy for me, traffic or no traffic, up hill, down hill, whatever, it's just easier on my nerves. lol, I still say you have more control. But, it's simply more than a control issue with me, it's just more comfortable I guess you could say.
But, on the flip side of this coin, I'm always running the numbers. I've been an (4 wheeler) independent contractor for years now, and whatever saves a penny, you tend to try to do.
So, let's run the numbers.... you drive say, 400 miles a day, approx. 300 days a year, at, I'll say 6 miles per gallon ( this is what trainer told me the trucks ran on average back in the 90's .... and I read one post that said 8 for the auto's so, we'll just go with 8 for now, just to even out the numbers...) and diesel per gallon is around 3.00 now I think (sorry, haven't seen the price in awhile... it really doesn't matter to much at the moment to get a general idea of fuel cost. if no ones figured it up before).
ok, 400 miles, 300 days, 6 miles per gallon manual-8 for auto, at 3.00 per gallon....
manual = approx. $200 a day ..... I bet a lot of people didn't know that this was how much fuel cost per day. You don't tend to add up the cost when the cost isn't yours.
auto = approx. $150 a day
A savings of $50 a day.
300 days, times $50 = $15,000 a year saved.
Just for the hey of it, manual shift fuel cost per year would be approx. $60,000 per year.
You could almost buy half a truck for $60,000 a year. ha ha
As for double clutching , I did both, and mm, what would you call it, when you go from say, 4th to 6th, skip a gear... my trainer didn't necessarily teach me, I would just catch him doing it and question him. I incorporated it all into my everyday driving a truck. I didn't necessarily double clutch all the time, or float gears all the time. You get so use to it, you just do it. I'd catch myself doing it and think, ok, enough of thinking about it, before I trip over my feet. lol
:) and Bretts right, you can't float gears in a 4 wheeler... I'm glad I'm not the only genius who tried this. Even though, you can double clutch. lol
ps I hope I got all the numbers correct above, or I'll really look stupid, LOL :)
An expression used to describe someone who is shifting gears without using the clutch at all. Drivers are taught to "Double Clutch" or press and release the clutch twice for each gear shift. If you're floating gears it means you're simply shifting without using the clutch at all.
To engage and then disengage the clutch twice for every gear change.
When double clutching you will push in the clutch, take the gearshift out of gear, release the clutch, press the clutch in again, shift the gearshift into the next gear, then release the clutch.
This is done on standard transmissions which do not have synchronizers in them, like those found in almost all Class A trucks.

6 miles per gallon manual-8 for auto
You're way, way overestimating the efficiency of an auto. When it comes to a big rig you spend 95% of your driving time on Interstates. You're not shifting very often so the efficiency would be even less.

Right now my company only has one auto but we plan on getting more. We're averaging close to a 3mpg difference between that and the manuals. So over the long term they will end up saving a ton. Of course on the other hand I drive for a very small company who leases the tractors so maintaining them isn't so much a big problem. I couldn't picture the huge national companies going to mostly autos though.
I know this is a little delayed/late but CRST has a majority auto fleet.
It takes skill to drive a truck safely whether you are shifting gears or not
This is so true.
Right now my company only has one auto but we plan on getting more. We're averaging close to a 3mpg difference between that and the manuals.
Again, there's no way there is nearly that big of a difference. Not with all else being equal. Not even close. I would guess an automatic might get 5% - 10% better fuel mileage, but not 40%. No way.
And in an industry with 3% profit margins where fuel is your #1 cost, even a 5% difference is significant.
The company I work for has went back and forth. They ordered a bunch of autos, then ordered some more manuals. Wolding is an all Freightliner fleet. Since the New Cascadia has a big push for its "integrated power train". I see eventually an all auto fleet. Freightliner is pushing big on their down sped DD15 paired up with their D12 transmission (auto shift 12 speed)

I was just going by what someone else had mentioned in this thread, and by what the trainer told me the manual was getting at the time. The information I put above is useless without proper information on fuel mileage. It's all only supposed to be a ball park figure.
I did run a search on fuel mileage between the manual and the auto, and there isn't much information on it, as far as I could find. One thread said anywhere from 7.6 to 7.9 in the auto's. And another site said that they both get around about the same. So, without proper information this is useless. I can only go by what everyone is saying that they are getting out of the auto's or the manuals.
I did read one thing saying that the auto's cost $6000 more than the manuals. I mean their initial price to begin with, nothing to do with fuel consumption.
I did find one site that says anywhere from 1 to 3% better. I think I'd rather go by what drivers say that they are getting in the auto's or the manuals to get a good average. It's a whole lot better than someone trying to estimate by what they hope that they are getting, or guessing at it. ha ha

Pirates record: 7-2
Key inning: The third inning saw Boston tie the game on a two-run home run, and Pittsburgh answered in its half when Andrew McCutchen drove in Josh Harrison on a sacrifice fly for the game-winning run.
Pirates' big bat: Catcher Francisco Cervelli went 2 for 3, including a second-inning single that led to David Freese's run-scoring hit that jump-started the Pirates.
Pirates' starter watch: Chad Kuhl worked around a leadoff double in the first inning to induce a groundout and strikeouts by Jackie Bradley Jr. and Pablo Sandoval. He threw two scoreless innings with three strike outs.
What Chad Kuhl said: "You have a guy on and, obviously, in that situation you're looking for that strikeout. And that's been the knock on me was, 'Can he strike people out?' Well, you're kind of looking for those situations and that was a time where I needed a strikeout. ... It was a nice opportunity."
What Clint Hurdle said: "Downhill angle, change speeds, great pace, quick rhythm. So a lot of good went out there in front of the mound (Saturday)."
