Dirt Quad Owner's Manual Read and understand this entire manual before using! For assistance contact Razor. DO NOT RETURN TO STORE. NOTE: Manual illustrations are for demonstration purposes only. Illustrations may not reflect exact appearance of actual product. Specifications subject to change without notice. . . . Safety Warnings WARNING: Riding an electric four wheeler can be a hazardous activity. Certain conditions may cause the equipment to fail without fault of the manufacturer. Like other electric products, the Dirt Quad can and is intended to move, and it is therefore possible to lose control, fall off and/or get into dangerous situations that no amount of care, instruction or expertise can eliminate. If such things occur you can be seriously injured or die, even when using safety equipment and other precautions. RIDE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND USE COMMON SENSE. This product was manufactured for performance and durability but are not impervious to damage. Jumping or other aggressive riding can over-stress and damage any product, including the Dirt Quad, and the rider assumes all risks associated with high-stress activity. This manual contains many warnings and cautions concerning the consequences of failing to maintain, inspect or properly use your electric four wheeler. Because any incident can result in serious injury or even death, we do not repeat the warning of possible serious injury or death each time such a possibility is mentioned. Never carry passengers or allow more than one person at a time to ride the electric four wheeler. APPROPRIATE RIDER USE AND PARENTAL SUPERVISION This manual contains important safety information. It is your responsibility to review this information and make sure that all riders understand all warnings, cautions, instructions and safety topics and assure that young riders are able to safely and responsibly use this product. Razor USA recommends that you periodically review and reinforce the information in this manual with younger riders, and that you inspect and maintain your children's Dirt Quad to insure their safety. The recommended rider age of 8 years is only an estimate, and can be affected by the rider's size, weight or skills. Any rider unable to fit comfortably on the Dirt Quad should not attempt to ride it. A parent's decision to allow his or her child to ride this product should be based on the child's maturity, skill and ability to follow rules. Keep this product away from small children and remember that this product is intended for use only by persons who are, at a minimum, completely comfortable and competent while operating the product. DO NOT EXCEED THE WEIGHT LIMIT OF 120 pounds. Rider weight does not necessarily mean a person's size is appropriate to fit or maintain control of the Dirt Quad. Do not touch the brakes or electric motor on your electric four wheeler when in use and/or immediately after riding as they can become very hot. Refer to the following section on safety for additional warnings. ACCEPTABLE RIDING PRACTICES AND CONDITIONS Always check and obey any local laws or regulations which may affect the locations where the Dirt Quad may be used. Ride defensively. Watch out for potential obstacles that could catch your wheel or force you to swerve suddenly or lose control. Be careful to avoid pedestrians, skaters, skateboards, scooters, bikes, children or animals who may enter your path, and respect the rights and property of others. The Dirt Quad is meant to be used on private property and on closed courses and not on public streets or sidewalks. Do not ride your electric four wheeler in any areas where pedestrian or vehicle traffic is present. Do not activate the speed control on the hand grip unless you are on the electric four wheeler and in a safe, outdoor environment suitable for riding. Be careful and know your limitations. Risk of injury increases as the degree of riding difficulty increases. The rider assumes all risk associated with aggressive riding activities. Maintain a hold on the handlebars at all times. Never use near steps or swimming pools. Keep your fingers and other body parts away from the drive chain, steering system, wheels and all other moving components. Never use headphones or a cell phone when riding. Never hitch a ride with another product. Do not ride the Dirt Quad in wet or icy weather and never immerse the electric four wheeler in water, as the electrical and drive components could be damaged by water or create other possible unsafe conditions. Wet, slick, bumpy, uneven or rough surfaces may increase risks of use. Do not ride the electric four wheeler in mud, ice, puddles or water. Avoid excessive speeds that can be associated with downhill rides. Never risk damaging surfaces such as carpet or flooring by use of an electric four wheeler indoors. Do not ride at night or when visibility is limited. PROPER RIDING ATTIRE Always wear proper protective equipment such as an approved safety helmet (with chin strap securely buckled), elbow pads and kneepads. A helmet may be legally required by local law or regulation in your area. A long-sleeved shirt, long pants and gloves are recommended. Always wear athletic shoes (lace-up shoes with rubber soles), never ride barefooted or in sandals, and keep shoelaces tied and out of the way of the wheels, motor and drive system. USING THE CHARGER The charger supplied with the electric four wheeler should be regularly examined for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts, and in the event of such damage, the four wheeler must not be charged until the charger has been repaired or replaced. Use only with the recommended charger. Use caution when charging. The charger is not a toy. Charger should be operated by an adult. Do not operate charger near flammable materials. Unplug charger and disconnect from scooter when not in use. Always disconnect from the charger prior to wiping down and cleaning your scooter with liquid. FAILURE TO USE COMMON SENSE AND HEED THE ABOVE WARNINGS INCREASES RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. USE WITH APPROPRIATE CAUTION AND SERIOUS ATTENTION TO SAFE OPERATION. Before You Begin Remove contents from box. Remove the foam separators that protect the components from damage during shipping. Inspect the contents of the box for scratches in the paint, dents or kinked cables that may have occurred during shipping. Because the Dirt Quad is 95 percent assembled and packed at the factory, there should not be any problems, even if the box has a few scars or dents. MAKE SURE POWER SWITCH IS TURNED "OFF" BEFORE CONDUCTING ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES. Estimated Assembly and Set-Up Time Razor recommends assembly by an adult. Allow up to 20 minutes for assembly, not including initial charge time. Allow up to 12 hours for initial charge (see page 4 for charging information). Charger (Note: Charger design may vary from one shown) Speed Control Brake Lever Drive Chain Front Fork Required Tools 3mm, 5mm and 6mm Allen wrenches (included) 8mm and 10mm open Phillips wrench screwdriver (included) (included) Bicycle tire pump for Schrader valves, with pressure gauge (Not Included) WARNING: DO NOT USE NON-RAZOR PRODUCTS WITH YOUR RAZOR DIRT QUAD. The Dirt Quad has been built to certain Razor design specifications. The original equipment supplied at the time of sale was selected on the basis of its compatibility with the frame, fork and all other parts. Certain aftermarket products may or may not be compatible and may void your warranty. Assembly and Set-Up q Attaching the Handlebars Tools required: 6mm Allen wrench WARNING: Failing to properly adjust and tighten the bolts that affix the handlebars can cause you to lose control and crash. 1 Using the 6mm Allen wrench, remove bolts from handlebar clamp. Note: Handlebar clamps are located in the plastic bag with owner's manual and charger. 2 Place handlebars in handlebar clamp in upright, vertical position. 3 Insert bolts and tighten securely. When properly tightened, the handlebars should not move forward or back. Note: The gap between the upper clamp and lower clamp should be equal on both sides of handlebar. q Inflating the Tires Tires are inflated when shipped, but they invariably lose some pressure between the point of manufacturing and your purchase. Inflate the tires to the correct PSI before first time use. Using a bicycle tire pump equipped for a Schrader valve, inflate the tires to the PSI indicated on the sidewall of the tire. q Testing the Brake To use the brake, squeeze the lever to increase the pressure on the brake. The brake lever is fitted with a cable adjuster to compensate for cable stretch and/or to fine-tune the lever movement to brake engagement. If brake is not engaging properly, follow instructions for adjusting the brakes outlined below. Note: The pressurized air supplies found at gasoline stations are designed to inflate high-volume automobile tires. If you decide to use such an air supply to inflate your tires, first make sure the pressure gauge is working, then use very short bursts to inflate to the correct PSI. If you inadvertently over-inflate the tire, release the excess pressure immediately. BEFORE RIDING q Charging the Battery Your electric four wheeler may not have a fully charged battery; therefore it is a good idea to charge the battery prior to use. •Initial charge time: 12 hours •Recharge time: up to 12 hours, depending on level of depletion. •Fully charge battery before storing. •When the scooter is not in regular use, recharge the battery at least once a month until normal use is resumed. •Run time: Up to 40 minutes of continuous ride time. Run time may vary depending on riding conditions, climate and/or proper maintenance. •Average battery life: 250 charge/discharge cycles •To ensure long battery life, do not store the battery in temperatures above 75° or below -10° F. Charger WARNING: Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged under adult supervision. Always disconnect your electric four wheeler from the charger before cleaning with liquid. Note: If your charger does not look like the one illustrated, your unit has been supplied with an alternative charger. The specifications and charging procedure would not change. The charger has a small window with one LED to indicate the charge status. Refer to the illustration on the charger unit for the actual "charging" and "charged" status indications for your model charger. Note: Make sure power is turned OFF when unit is not in use. If the power switch is left on for an extended period of time, the battery may reach a stage at which it will no longer hold a charge. 1 Plug the charger into a wall outlet. If the lights on charger do not light up, check the power to the outlet. If necessary, try a different outlet. 2 Turn power OFF before charging. Plug the charger into the charger port to charge unit. Chargers have built-in overcharge protection to prevent battery from being overcharged. Charger will get warm during use. This is normal for some chargers and is no cause for concern. If your charger does not get warm during use, it does not mean that it is not working properly. WARNING: Failure to recharge the battery at least once a month may result in a battery that will no longer hold a charge. Repair and Maintenance Turn power switch OFF before conducting any maintenance procedures. q Adjusting the Brake Tools required: 5mm Allen wrench 37mm44 Caliper adjuster Rotor Pads Backside view of disk brake 1 To adjust the tension, thread the brake lever adjuster in or out 1/4 to 1/2 turn until the desired brake adjustment is attained. Most adjustments are complete at this step. If brake still needs further adjustment, proceed to step 2 for rear brake. 2 Locate the rear brake caliper and disk brake behind the right rear wheel. The distance of the brake wire between the end of the cable and the anchor bolt should be between 37 and 44 mm. If the rear brake has too much slack, loosen the rear anchor bolt with a 5mm Allen wrench and pull the brake wire tighter (direction indicated with arrow). 3 If the brake rotor is dragging on the brake pads use your fingers to twist the caliper adjuster in either direction until rotor is centered between pads. WARNING: The brake is capable of causing the electric four wheeler to skid the tire throwing an unsuspecting rider. Practice in an open area free from obstacles until you are familiar with the brake function. Avoid skidding to a stop as this can cause you to lose control or damage the rear tire(s). Repair and Maintenance q Replacing the Fuse 1 Make sure the power switch is turned OFF. WARNING: To prevent shock, please follow the instructions accordingly and do not skip or combine any steps. 2 Under the front fender and through the frame, locate the fuse box attached to the top of the battery. 3 Open the fuse cover to expose the fuse. Amperage number 4 Remove the fuse and replace with a new one of equal amperage. Note: Amperage rating is located on top of fuse. 5 Close the fuse cover. q Replacing the Chain Tools required: 6mm Allen wrench, 10mm open wrench and Phillips screwdriver. 1 Remove the bolt and washers on the outside of the rear wheel. 2 Remove the bolt on the inside of the rear wheel. Remove nut and pull bolt out of axle. 3 Remove the 3 screws from the top half of the chain guard and remove. 4 Remove the 2 screws from the bottom half of the chain guard and remove. 5 Spread the chain tensioner apart to loosen chain. 6 Remove chain from both sprockets and replace with new chain. WARNING: Do not touch motor after use. Motor is (or can be) very hot. Repair and Maintenance 7 Reset chain tensioner. 8 Position bottom half of the chain guard to align mounting holes and screw to frame. 10 On the inside of the wheel slide bolt through wheel and axle and secure with nut. 11 On the outside of the 9 Position top half of the chain guard to align mounting holes and screw to frame. wheel replace washers and secure with bolt. q Chain and Sprocket The chain will typically have a "loose spot" and "tight spot" corresponding with a particular sprocket rotational position. This is normal and common to all chain-driven products due to run-out tolerances of the freewheel and sprocket. Proper chain alignment must be maintained. If the chain is noisy or rough running, check the lubrication, tension and alignment of the sprockets, in that order. The chain tensioner must be aligned and free from binding and the tensioner spring(s) must be operating correctly. WARNING: To avoid a pinch or injury, keep fingers away from moving sprockets and chain. q Battery Care and Disposal Do not store the battery in temperatures above 75° F or below -10° F. CONTAINS SEALED LEAD BATTERY. BATTERY MUST BE RECYCLED. Disposal: Your Razor product uses sealed lead-acid batteries which must be recycled or disposed of in an environmentally sound manner. Do not dispose of a lead-acid battery in a fire. The battery may explode or leak. Do not dispose of a lead-acid battery in your regular household trash. The incineration, land filling or mixing of sealed lead-acid batteries with household trash is prohibited by law in most areas. Return exhausted batteries to a federal or state approved lead-acid battery recycler or a local seller of automotive batteries. If you live in Florida or Minnesota, it is prohibited by law to throw away lead-acid batteries in the municipal waste stream. q Charger The charger supplied with the electic four wheeler should be regularly examined for damage to the cord, plug, enclosure and other parts, and, in the event of such damage, the Dirt Quad must not be charged until it has been repaired or replaced.

The Day the Storefront Let Jen Bledsoe In
1039 words long
In which the pick-up artist gurus are wrong all over again.
starting to look like a solid trend
Wed 2016-05-04 23:45:10 (single post)
- 2,158 wds. long
Two good days in a row! Progress on all the things. Prepared one of the Fictionette Artifacts to be mailed on Friday (with very clever illustrations on page 2, if I do say so myself) and did another solid revision session on "Stand By for Your Assignment."
Here's the thing about a good day: It takes doing. There are things I have to do to make sure they happen. Thing is, between John and myself, it's pretty much understood that I've got some form of mild (undiagnosed) depression weaseling around in my brain, whence comes (among other things) the occasional inability to get out of bed until external forces intervene. So I've got certain self-care strategies to deal with that:
- John gets to poke and prod and harass me until I am up, feet on the floor, and productively puttering about the house. (External forces!)
- By the time he leaves for work, that 20 minutes or so of upright-and-puttering helps ensure I'm fully awake and not tempted to go back to bed.
- I may not feel like writing. But I know that doing that first task will make me feel accomplished and proud, which emotional lift will carry me into the rest of the morning shift. So get to that first writing task!
- After my first task, I take a walk or otherwise small bit of exercise outside. Exercise and sunlight are known things that help ward off the funks.
But the problem with that last bullet point is, too much exercise in the sun leaves me feeling like I got walloped in the can-do. So today almost bottomed out when my bike ride up to The Diaz Farm for eggs and tasty sourdough took out all my get-up-and-go. But! I've got the evening off from roller derby--the Bombshells got a much-needed rest after all our efforts at the tournament--so enough time remained to restart the day in the afternoon and damn well get stuff done.
OK, yes, in order to convince myself to work on the short story revision, I had to do the hot-bath-and-glass-of-wine trick. But hey! I got work done on the revision, and I got a relaxing soak in the tub with a glass of wine. Win-win!
Tomorrow:A good, full writing day and Thursday scrimmage! Can it be done? YES IT CAN, my friends. Yes, it can.
this fictionette will come rolling home eventually
Fri 2016-04-29 22:34:47 (single post)
Argh! Argh, argh, argh. It's not like I've never been late with Friday Fictionettes before, but I try to at least get them all out in the right month. But the very belated April 22 edition will not be out tonight, and probably won't be out tomorrow.
I am at this moment in a hotel in Eagle, Colorado, preparing for tomorrow's roller derby tournament. It's 10:07 PM. Skater check-in is at 10:00 AM. I am told that getting plenty of rest between now and then is desirable. Thus, not staying up all night. Sorry-not-sorry? It is possible that I might surprise myself and get the fictionette up tomorrow morning before we head over to the tournament venue. Possible. Not terribly probable. If it happens, I'll crow all about it right here. Just... don't hold your breath.
I have no excuse. I was not very good with time management this month, and especially these last two weeks.
Let me at least tell you about the previous fictionette, the one for April 15, which was late but did in fact go up. It's called "The Day the Storefront Let Jen Bledsoe In," and it's about the new norms in business partnership after an event the characters refer to as The Great Awakening. Of the buildings, that is. It's the buildings that woke up. Which means that opening a retail storefront takes a bit more cooperation than some might be used to. Some people adapted to this change more quickly than others, of course.
I'll probably write more fiction in this setting. Not sure whether it'll be related fictionettes to release on Patreon or full-fledged stories to send out for publication, but it'll be something. This one was just too much fun to write.
The current one? The one I'm continuing to be late with? It ought to be fun. I mean, it's not not fun--writing is fun. But some stories come more effortlessly than others. This one would be one of the others.
Anyway, more later. I can say that much for sure. Just don't ask me how much later. As little later as I can humanly manage, OK? Because the first fictionette for May will need to happen too.

AUTHORITIES in the Ministry of Agriculture in Choma have disclosed that 24, 332 farmers have been targeted to benefit under the e-voucher system under the Farmer Input Support Programme (FISP) for 2015/ 2016 season.
Acting District Agricultural Coordinator Mapenzi Hindamu disclosed that 10,000 farmers have their cards activated and are collecting inputs.
He said most of the farmers are collecting basal and top dressing fertilizer to commence planting of maize for the 2015/2016 season.
Mr Hindamu noted that the 14,053 vulnerable but viable farmers have since deposited down payments for inputs under FISP using the e-voucher system.
He described the e-voucher system as progressing well and hoped by next week, all farmers in the district would have deposited their down payments and their cards activated to enable them collect inputs from agro- dealers.
Mr Hindamu further said 12,909 cards have been sent to Lusaka to enable farmers start redeeming their inputs as activation is centrally done in Lusaka.
He named the recipient agriculture blocks that have benefited under the e-voucher system as Mbabala, Mapanza, State-Land, Singani and Batoka in Choma district.-NAIS

How has everyone been? I hope the answer's "great" or something like that.
When I say everyone, I mean the world! So I say "Hello, world!"
Today has been so warm, everyone wore shorts and T-shirts... and no sweaters! Yay! That must mean spring is urging winter to go away and make room for warmer weather. I sure hope so!
What if I gave my blog a new name? Would that be bad, or would you like a change? Ooh, I have a good one. "The Rowdy Roy Household" or "The Rowdy Roy's." I think I like the first one, how about you? Okay, I'm REALLY considering on doing it. Really, I am. Instead of www.sassysister9.blogspot.com, It's going to be www.rowdyroyshousehold.blogspot.com... yes, I know. My brother just told me that that was really hard to read. And it's as long as the Frich Family Farm of Faith. http://farmoffaith.blogspot.com is their blog. It's really great. Well, my title is almost as long as their title. I'm going to change the blog name in a bit, so you have time to read this and remember. As we say, "Hokey Dokey, Smokey!" (Okay (pronounced oh-key) dokey, smokey)
Oh, yeah. What do you think about my idea of putting stories on here as well? We could start on one of mine, or start on yours, or make up one all together. I don't care if you have to make the comment boxes REALLY big, as long as you got your part of the story in. Everyone's free to help!
Well, hope you have a great week!

Anyroad up, never mind about the merch' I guess we should get back to the bikes, eh?
Ari's from Finland and wanted to share his custom cyclocross frame with us that he had made by Waltly. He was after a real dual purpose machine that he could use for commuting but also cyclocross racing if he wanted to later. For future proofing it had to be able to run both v-brakes and disks, as well a have mounts for mudguards and a rack. As he often carries a rucksack he was also looking for a more upright position that didn't stretch him out too far to save his back:
Over to Ari to take up the story:
I picked a frame from their Alibaba site as the "backbone" of the bike and told them which modifications I wanted to make. I used my road bike to figure out the dimensions since their geometry charts didn't have the shorter top tube I was looking for. I spent almost month sending e-mails back and forth to Waltly to get the drawing just right, but they were really patient and Jenny was a pleasure to deal with.
Sandblasting is their standard finish but I decided to go for the brush finish instead as it looks smarter and is easier to maintain with a little polishing.
Also I arranged the shipping a bit differently as I have a friend who visits China regularly, Jenny phoned the hotel where he was staying and arranged for my frame to be sent there directly. Everything went very smoothly, I didn't have to pay any import tax and shipping was only $20.
I really recommend dealing with Jenny, she will get things done and is very polite compared to Porter. She even declined the tip I offered her for the extra work involved with my special delivery! I did initially approach XACD but communicating with Porter was a real pain in the ass and I'm sure the shipping wouldn't have been taken care of as well as Jenny did it.
I did wonder if Ari had any concerns about the manufacturing of his frame as Waltly have had a few issues in the past?
I had Waltly post pictures of the BB-shell and headtube before final payment since I had heard that those can be easily ovalized if too much heat is put into the tubes during welding. When it came to putting the bike together though everything was fine, in terms of quality it's like a boutique frame.
It was also a nice surprise to find that they'd sent me a TI seat tube clamp for free too!
The finished product was just as I planned, I'm very pleased with the frame and I wouldn't do anything differently, it's perfect!
Result all round there I say – it sounds like Ari was very pleased with the frame he received and with the excellent customer service from Jenny too. It's always good to hear of positive experiences where companies are willing to be flexible.
As far as Ari's frame goes I don't think I can offer many pointers as it seems perfect for what he was looking for. While the current fashion is for disk brakes on everything it's refreshing to see how clean and minimal lightweight v-brakes look, although Ari always has the option to add disks later. He'd just need to pop some adapters on the top tube cable guides to fix the hose to – or do something slightly more drastic like drill them out!
Given the height of the handle bars I might have suggested going with a slightly longer headtube and shorter seat tube with a more aggressively slopped top tube to match. Although that would have changed the 'look' of the frame quite a bit – and it's mainly a personal aesthetic point rather than anything practical.
I was intrigued by some of the shaping that Waltly put into the tubing, especially on the down tube. Ari assures me that it was just standard on the frame he ordered, it might not add much structurally but it looks pretty funky and it's interesting to see what they can do.
Have you had a frame custom made in the Far East that you'd like to share with others? Do drop me a line via the contacts page and maybe you'll see it featured here too.

JAFFA, Israel – An officer in the Saudi army has sparked controversy in the kingdom after he said he intended to recruit women into his special security unit.
Saad Elijabry, commander of the Unit for Protection of Special Facilities, said at an induction ceremony for 1,400 new operatives that a suggestion to expand women's participation in the unit from administrative roles to operational ones is under review.
According to Elijabry, the new female recruits would be charged with dealing with the security clearance of female personnel as well as preventing the smuggling of dangerous substances into the facilities.
"The implementation of the plan will be in keeping with Sharia law," he said. "We will soon publish the findings of our inquiry into the matter."
Some on social media reacted with fervor. Commenters were split by and large along gender lines.
"In the Prophet's time, women shared the military burden," one woman tweeted, and got an angry response: "While we're at conjuring up women from the Prophet's days, maybe it's time you adhere to their modesty rules. Every time someone points it out you get mad."
Another woman wrote: "Let's start with letting women drive and worry about military service later." Another tweeted: "Before the army, I'd like to see women ministers and advisers to the king, as well as legislation on gender equality."
"I'm not prepared to serve a country that is ashamed of me and considers me as immodest, while depriving me of my basic rights," another woman commented. "Let the men continue to join the army. As far as you're concerned, we're here by mistake."
One male commenter lampooned women's presumed ineptitude for the role: "Headquarters sends an order to dispatch forces to the site of an incident. Captain Johara [a woman's name] answers: 'Roger, HQ. But I refuse to go if Captain Mariam goes.'"

Historically, the focus in vehicle safety has been on "passive" systems — safety belts, airbags, and crumple zones. Developing technologies aim to prevent accidents from occurring. Ford is working on precollision accident mitigation and avoidance to address crashes involving such factors as driver distraction and fatigue. Developed jointly by the Ford/Volvo advanced safety engineering teams, new technologies such as Driver Alert Control, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Collision Mitigation by Braking will be available initially on select Volvo products. Plans to cascade these features to other Ford Motor Company products are in progress.
Protect Against Drowsy Driving
According to government studies, driver fatigue is a major traffic safety problem. Driver Alert Control (DAC) is a worldwide passenger vehicle first, primarily designed to help drivers maintain concentration across a wide spectrum of driving conditions. The system begins monitoring at 40 mph and stays active as long as vehicle speed exceeds 37 mph. Once activated, DAC assesses vehicle movement and determines how well the vehicle is tracking within its lane.
"We do not monitor human behavior, but instead the effect that fatigue or decreased concentration has on driving behavior. It gives a reliable indication if something is likely to go wrong and alerts the driver before it is too late," explains Daniel Levin, project manager for Driver Alert Control at Volvo Cars.
DAC consists of a camera, sensors, and control unit. The camera is installed between the windshield and the interior rear-view mirror and continuously measures the distance between the car and the road lane markings. Once the sensors register the vehicle's movement, the control unit then stores the information. Depending on DAC's assessment of vehicle movement, the driver may receive an audible signal alert and a warning message in the vehicle's information display. The driver can also retrieve driving information from the vehicle's trip computer. (The starting-point is five bars. The less consistent the driving, the fewer bars remain.)
Cruise On By
Another available option is Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). The control module, mounted at the front of the vehicle, uses radar technology once limited to the aerospace industry.
First launched in automobiles by Jaguar in 1999, ACC maintains cruise speed similar to conventional cruise control, but also helps maintain distance from the vehicle ahead. By operating the throttle and brake systems, the customerselected minimum headway gap is preserved in uneven traffic flow conditions.
Although ACC is a convenience rather than a safety feature, this system enables several other safety features such as Collision Mitigation by Braking (CMbB).
CMbB is designed to help drivers avoid collisions or reduce the severity of a crash. Based on speed and relative distance of objects ahead, CMbB assesses the potential for a collision and provides visual and audible alerts. Drivers can adjust the distance and warning settings, but if the CMbB system identifies an imminent threat that is not responded to, it will automatically precharge or even apply brake force to aid the driver..

Dr. Budzban's innovative vision and creative energy will enhance the future of the College of Arts and Sciences at SIUE
Edwardsville, Ill. (PRWEB) April 21, 2015
Gregory Budzban, PhD, has been recommended as the new dean of the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville College of Arts and Sciences. Budzban's permanent appointment is contingent upon SIU Board of Trustees approval.
Budzban brings more than 25 years of academic experience, along with six years of professional experience from Martin Marietta Aerospace, to SIUE. He most recently served as chair of the department of mathematics and acting director of the STEM Education Research Center at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIUC).
"Dr. Budzban's innovative vision and creative energy will enhance the future of CAS, the foundation of the University's liberal arts education," said Parviz Ansari, SIUE provost and vice chancellor for Academic Affairs. "His focus on program development and research funding opportunities will allow CAS to continue to grow and meet the challenges of changing fiscal and academic environments."
"Effective collaboration is essential to solve the increasingly complex problems facing universities and industries today," said Budzban. "Fund raising is an important component of any dean position in the current academic climate. Additionally, program development is always an essential component of maintaining relevance and growth."
Budzban maintains that educational leaders require an entrepreneurial spirit to achieve success. In 2014, he created the STEM Education Research Center at SIUC. As chair of the department of mathematics, he implemented the first university-wide online placement exam, "Early Intervention System" and "Success Course" structure.
"Every educational leader today must be at the forefront of the technological revolution," explained Budzban. "My background in mathematics and computer sciences provides me with the precise qualifications necessary to take advantage of this on-going revolution.
"I look forward to working with the SIUE faculty and staff to build on my previous experience."
Budzban received a bachelor's in mathematics, a master's in theoretical computer sciences and a doctorate in mathematics from the University of South Florida.
Budzban's post will begin August 1, 2015. Dr. Stephen Hansen currently serves as interim dean of CAS following Dr. Aldemaro Romero's resignation in December 2014.
Central to SIUE's exceptional and comprehensive education, the College of Arts and Sciences has 19 departments and 85 areas of study. More than 300 full-time faculty/instructors deliver classes to more than 8,000 undergraduate and graduate students. Faculty help students explore diverse ideas and experiences, while learning to think and live as fulfilled, productive members of the global community. Study abroad, service-learning, internships, and other experiential learning opportunities better prepare SIUE students not only to succeed in our region's workplaces, but also to become valuable leaders who make important contributions to our communities.

Moisture Tolerant
MIDEL 7131 is one of the most moisture tolerant transformer fluids available. It will absorb far more water than mineral oil and even natural ester without compromising its dielectric properties.
Moisture is known to accelerate cellulose degradation which in turn is a significant factor in transformer lifetime reduction. MIDEL 7131 has the potential to keep cellulose drier, thus extending the life of the transformer.
Moisture tolerance is particularly important in areas with high humidity or risk of moisture ingress. Mineral oil can become saturated with small amounts of moisture, reducing its effectiveness as a dielectric fluid but MIDEL 7131 can tolerate substantially larger amounts of moisture in comparison and still work effectively.
If you are concerned about the effect moisture can have on your transformer, MIDEL 7131 fluid can provide the perfect solution.
MIDEL 7131 for Superior Moisture Tolerance
- Absorbs large amounts of moisture with no reduction of breakdown voltage (up to 600ppm)
- Allows moisture to migrate from cellulose into the fluid
- Potentially keeps the cellulose drier and slows the rate of ageing
- Very high saturation limit making precipitation of free water virtually impossible
- Reduces risk of bubble formation
- Retrofilling*
*Field trials conducted by M&I Materials show that MIDEL 7131 can be used to bring transformers with very wet cellulose back into operation by a simple retrofilling procedure. One particular mineral oil filled distribution transformer was going to be de-commissioned due to high moisture levels; a retrofill with MIDEL 7131 brought it back to a state of safe operation. More than 5 years later, the unit is still in perfect working order and has not required any further maintenance.

Reuel Alden--New York or Massachusetts or Michigan
Reuel Alden, born in the early 1800's, was my great, great, great grandfather.His son, my gggrandfather (whose name I cannot locate right now), had a son, Marion Alden, who was my great grandfather. Marion's son, John, was my grandfather (Marion and his wife, Mattie, also had other children, all of whom are believed to have lived in the mid-Michigan area around Owosso/Henderson/Oakley/Chesaning--Mabel G.(Alden) Hopkins; Ernest Alden; and Hazel Moffit).My problem is that there are mentions of apparently two different Reuel Aldens on two different genealogy sites:
1.I have found a Reuel Alden (born March 27, 1825 in Saratoga, NY; died June 8, 1869) mentioned on the LDS site.This Reuel Alden married Mary Ann Canfield (born January 24, 1828 in Greenfield, Saratoga, NY; died August 14, 1891 in Wood County, Ohio).They had three children, Alfred (1848-1884), Albert (1846-1891; married Sarah Jane Davis on June 28, 1868), and Franklin (1857-1885).
2.Another mention of a Reuel Alden was found on the Ancestry.com site, where he was listed as born in March 30, 1834 of Caleb Alden and Deborah (Thompson) Alden of Plymouth, Massachusetts and as having married Isabella Warren.
Does anyone have a clue as to which Reuel Alden is my great, great, great grandfather or any further insight as to the descendants of either Reuel Alden?

From the term itself, certified nursing assistants provide help to medical doctors and nurses in conducting daily medical duties. They often fly under the radar since not very many is familiar with them by their professional name. But actually, they are the individuals making direct touch with patients; obtaining their vital signs, helping them wash up and change, and perhaps share stories together. Expertise and heart go together, and that is what makes CNAs unique. And these expertise can only be confirmed through securing a CNA License.
So you can get certified, there are requirements you need to comply. A high school diploma or its equivalent is needed before you can go through the CNA training. Why is there a need for this specific training? It's basically a program that helps you leverage your nursing competencies, starting from theories to hands-on implementation. Every state has a particular number of hours for the duration of the training. In Texas, at least seventy five hours is needed.
After finishing your required hours, you will have to face a test that will be your last ticket for obtaining that CNA license. This examination is known to be broken down into two parts: written (all about theories and basics) and practical (hands-on test). Passing this licensure exam would get you certified and officially included in the medical team.
A license is merely a paper, a real proof that you're capable of doing the tasks of a CNA. It's a distinction you should be proud of as it is a reward for all of your efforts and sacrifices. Today, a growing number of job openings are around for nursing aides. These opportunities don't come every day, so you have to grab them now. If you want work, Austin is the better target because it has many work opportunities to offer. Yes, the road to being a CNA is never an easy undertaking. But with all the opportunities and rewards you get from it, plus the genuine happiness of helping those who need it most, you'd be surprised how you won't regret a thing.Author: Paula Shelton

Dosha Diets
Each of us is a unique individual. We have different body types, and, too, different nutritional requirements. Ayurveda recognizes this, and emphasizes the correct diet for each individual. To achieve balance, the diet for treating each dosha will have the characteristics that are opposite that of the dosha that is dominating and causing the problem.
• The vata body is cold, dry and light, so the diet should be warm, moist and grounding
• The pitta body is hot, wet and light, so the diet should be cooling, dry and nourishing
• The kapha body is cold, wet and heavy, so the diet should be warm, dry and light
Vatas should strive to concentrate on sweet, sour and salty tastes- the anabolic, building tastes. Salty taste is best for vata because it promotes moisture retention in the tissues. Oat is a great moistening food. Eat it with warm, instead of cold, milk.
Pittas should use mainly sweet, bitter, and astringent- the cooling tastes. Bitter is best for pitta because it is the most cooling. Green vegetables are great for cooling down hot pittas.
And you kaphas, like me, should primarily consume pungent, bitter and astringent- the catabolic, detoxifying tastes. Pungent is the best for kapha because it is warming and drying. Ginger tea is ideal for warming up kapha.
If any of you have taken the challenge to determine your Ayurvedic constitution and adjust your diet, share your inspiring story with the rest of us.

If you were to flip on cable news, log on to Twitter, or browse the web for more than a few minutes, it would be very difficult not to feel as if the world was going straight to hell in a handbasket. An endless barrage of catastrophic news stories is taking a heavy toll on many people.
Furthermore, enthusiasm for political participation and optimism for our country's future is disastrously low. How can anyone be excited about making a difference when it seems like your voice will not even be heard?
The United States of America is facing countless obstacles and challenges in 2017; many of which should have been overcome long ago. Institutional (and outright) racism, rampant income and wealth inequality, severe impacts of climate change (Hurricane Harvey), and a broken health care system are just a few of the problems we must vigorously confront. These gaping issues need to be in the spotlight of our daily political discourse and magnified until we come together to find comprehensive solutions to them.
Despite the urgency that many of these issues carry, our media sheds very little light upon them. Instead, the corporate media salivates over political horseraces, presidential tweets, gossip between talking heads, and pure speculation.
A major reason as to why droves of people are turning away from the political process altogether is the daily circulation of overblown and exaggerated outrage spewed across television, newspapers, and social media.
One day you are told that there are grounds to impeach President Donald Trump. The next day you are told that we are on the brink of nuclear war with North Korea. The day after you are told that the end times are officially upon us and death is imminent. Once the bar is risen to such fantastical and outlandish levels without any tangible consequences, who could blame the general public for their overall political fatigue?
Those who are interested in taking on the Trump administration are facing quite a conundrum: why can we not virtuously challenge the most unpopular President in the modern history of the United States?
The answer, in my opinion, largely lies in the simple fact that the "Resistance" drains out so much of its energy overreacting to each tweet and every off-hand comment that the President makes, regardless of the statement's true importance.
Now, this is quite a fine line to traverse because many would argue that everything the leader of the free world publicly states should be open to criticism and scrutiny. I do not disagree with this premise; however, I do believe that a sizable amount of credibility is lost when many people in said "Resistance" cry wolf over things that ultimately wind up impacting the lives of essentially nobody.
While everyone has the right to shout to the heavens about Trump's covfefe tweet and complain how he is continuously breaching the norms of traditional American politics, one cannot reasonably expect to keep the layperson's attention span for very long while doing so. The ability to utilize outrage selectively is one that any effective opposition must learn.
In order for a "Resistance" to have any true merit or firepower, it must tout a clear, resonant underlying message; an alternative to the relative chaos of the current administration.
To win back Congress, the White House, state legislatures, governor's houses, and beyond, the Democrats must choose between being the party solely against Trump or the party of clear-cut, ambitious policy goals that rival those of the far-right.
The specific goals of such a party can and should be robustly debated, but the Democratic Party has instead chosen to focus on raising copious amounts of money from wealthy donors and special interests while closing its doors on new voices and opinions. Without a viable avenue to channel their fresh ideas, large numbers of people are giving up and throwing in the towel.
To activate new people into the political process and begin making concrete electoral gains, the "Resistance", the Democratic Party, and all others who are so adamantly against our president must formulate a real game plan that goes beyond sharing and retweeting ridiculous click-bait across the internet.
We must become cognizant of the institutional roadblocks that are preventing us from interacting with the political process in its current form. An honest and inspired opposition defined by unmistakably bold objectives is necessary to lift ourselves over these short-term hurdles. Only then can we take steps to reinvigorate our democracy and enact the change this country desperately needs.

Ashtons Legal has a 'highly professional and knowledgeable' team in Cambridge that includes Jennie Pratt, who has a highly respected high-net-worth estate planning practice and whose 'calm manner and ability to explain complex matters in a way clients understand' is greatly valued. She has 25 years' experience acting for clients with complex estates that often include overseas assets. Other key figures include Lynn Wicks, a lifetime planning specialist with a strong niche in continuing care, statutory wills and other Solicitors for the Elderly matters. The team is also strong at associate level thanks to highly experienced Society of Trusts and Estate Practitioners (STEP) members Christina Duck and Gillian Brasher. Among the numerous complex matters the team has recently handled was the matter of a family in which parents and children died intestate. The case involved careful negotiation with extended family members to decide on their rights to administer the £1m estate.
The team at Birketts LLP is 'excellent, swift to respond and provides knowledgeable advice at a reasonable cost'. Its practice covers the full range of trusts, tax, succession planning and probate matters but it has notable areas of specialist expertise that include advice to trustees and beneficiaries of domestic and offshore trusts; trust management and accountancy; wills and lifetime planning for business executives and landowners; Court of Protection matters; and inheritance tax (IHT) and capital gains tax advice. Team head Caroline Stenner, who provides 'clear advice', and senior associate Catherine Bacon both 'understand the issues and compare very well indeed to other practitioners in the region'. Associate Rachel Winter is recommended for her Court of Protection work and her advice to business executives. The team's recent work included advising a board of trustees on their duties in administering a trust valued at more than £100m.
'The level of service is fantastic' at Hewitsons, whose private client team works across all four of its offices. Key figures in Cambridge include team head Daniel Curtis; the 'helpful and friendly' Elizabeth Davies, who is 'well informed, always quick to respond and provides top-notch service'; the 'attentive, personable and professional' Bernadette O'Reilly, who is 'very knowledgeable on trusts', especially those involving international assets; and solicitor Katherine Hague, who 'excels in all financial matters'. Vastly experienced associates Emma Satterly and Kelly Wardell are recommended for tax planning, trusts and Court or Protection matters. The firm is well known for its administration of trusts and has a strong client base of landed estates, owners of heritage property and high-net-worth individuals. The team recently acted for the trustees of a trust valued at more than £20m in complex tax and succession planning matters.
For some, Mills & Reeve LLP is 'the leading firm in the area for private client matters'. Team head Chris Belcher is praised for his 'pragmatic approach to problem solving, client rapport and knowledge of tax matters'. He is also praised for his 'excellent technical knowledge and ability to explain complicated issues to clients'. The firm regularly advises ultra-high-net-worth clients, often with an international dimension to their needs. Senior associate Alex Hunt 'understands clients' needs quickly and provides appropriate advice, making an effort to ensure it is practical and easy to understand'. Senior associate Kimberly Sayward is also recommended for her work on setting up corporate structures for UK investors and her tax advice to trustees and business owners. The firm recently advised a high-profile sportsman on all aspects of his private client and commercial affairs, which included the setting up of trusts in the UK and overseas to take advantage of his non-domiciled status.
Taylor Vinters is 'an excellent alternative to large London private client firms – it provides a great service at a very reasonable price', according to clients. The 'extremely responsive' James Packer 'adopts a commercial approach and is very user-friendly' in dealing with tax, trust and estate matters for business executives and other high-net-worth individuals. The team also calls on the considerable experience of rural partner Adrian Horwood-Smart to advise on strategic planning for farming clients and large landed estates, and Mike Bell, who regularly advises high-net-worth non-domiciled investor clients on private real estate investments and asset protection matters. Senior associate Emma Parsons is regarded as a rising star for estate planning, wills, powers of attorney and trusts. The firm runs a popular in-house estate planning surgery for City professionals. Among the firm's recent work was the preparation of a deathbed will for a client with a high-value estate that included substantial assets both in the UK and overseas.
The 'formidable team' at Greenwoods Solicitors LLP is 'consistently excellent, very efficient, and clear and concise in its advice'. Director and head of the private client team Tim Addinell is now based predominantly in Cambridge and 'provides top-quality advice' on wills, estates and trusts, predominantly for high-net-worth individuals. 'Knowledgeable and friendly' STEP-qualified senior solicitor Clare Threlfall 'is a real problem solver; she is always prepared to go the extra mile for her clients'. The team's recent work includes organising a life interest trust – for which Addinel is a trustee – for the disabled daughter of a deceased man to ensure an adequate flow of income. Addinel also advised on a multimillion-pound trust matter related to a clinical negligence claim.
Tees Law 'has a friendly approach to clients and its advice is always clear and concise'. The firm is best known for its expertise in the administration of complex and high-value estates, including those with agricultural and international elements. The 'highly experienced' Catherine Mowat, who has 17 years' experience in private client matters, is 'a tower of strength, a good listener and a wise counsellor'. She leads a team of four lawyers that was joined in 2016 by STEP-qualified senior associate James Marsh from Tees Law. He is best known for trusts, tax planning and elderly client matters. Clients also recommend Angela Sewell for advice on financial matters including IHT and trust administration. Mowat is the executor of a multimillion-pound estate with assets in the UK and Switzerland, which had to be restructured to minimise IHT liability.
Woodfines LLP has a 'refreshingly approachable and friendly' team that includes one of the region's most experienced practitioners in Alun Butler, who 'always gets positive responses and meets clients' needs'. In 2016, he advised numerous owner-managed businesses on tax-efficient structures and private trusts to enable senior employees to maximise IHT and capital gains relief. The 'cost-effective and efficient' Karl Dembicki receives high praise for his specialist advice to vulnerable and elderly clients. He was recently instructed by Professor Simon Baron Cohen to handle the administration of the estate of his late wife.
'Ultimately there are as many barriers as you put up yourself, you can put up being female and black as an excuse or use it as a weapon of defiance.'

DEKALB --Northern Illinois University students are getting support from a group that truly knows what they're going through recovering from a tragedy. Fourteen Virginia Tech students traveled to NIU. They talked and listened to members of the NIU community about last month's shootings that left five people dead.
The shooter, Steven Kazmierczak, entered a lecture hall and opened fire before turning the gun on himself.
Last April, a gunman killed 33 people on the Virginia Tech campus.
The Virginia Tech students wanted to give the NIU community a shoulder to lean on.
"We received an overwhelming amount of support from different colleges and all around the world last April. And we think we need to answer that call again when someone else is in trouble," said Paul Masur, Virginia Tech student.
The Virginia Tech students also brought a banner signed by their classmates, sending well wishes and messages of support to NIU's students.

7. Stand facing a support such as the rail of a porch or a desktop or table. Place your right foot up on the
support with the toes pointed up into the air. Stabilize your standing leg, pressing the foot down into the ground and lifting the front thigh muscles up into the hip. Stretch both arms overhead, interlock the fingers
and turn the palms to the sky.
As your standing foot presses down into the ground, press your hands up. Relax your shoulders down towards your waist and lengthen the sides of your torso. Exhale and fold
your torso forward, from the crease of the hip. Lengthen your spine.
Extend your arms toward your foot, place them on your leg or, if you can reach your foot, take hold of the toes and gently pull them back. Again,
relax the shoulders down towards the waist and lengthen the torso.
Reach the chin towards the toes. Do not press into the knees. Make the calf muscle of the extended leg firm and lift the muscles of your upper thigh
into the hipÑthis will help stretch the hamstring muscles of the back thigh. Breathe easily.
Stay in the stretch until you feel the muscles under the thigh begin to release. This exercise stretches the hamstring muscles, under the thigh,
and the calf. Inhale and come up. Do exercise #8 and then repeat #7 and #8 to the left side.

Kaleidoscope is a peer-led mental health support group. It is essential to our core values that our facilitators identify as having lived experience of mental illness, and that they, themselves, have attended the group regularly for at least six (6) meetings before becoming facilitators.
For individuals who have personally benefited from attending Kaleidoscope groups, and want to give back while also gaining professional development skills, we offer the opportunity to become a facilitator. It is important for our facilitators to be able to relate on some level to other members of the group. This helps foster a peer-to-peer relationship where everyone is on the same level.
By having prospective facilitators attend the group as participants, you can get a sense of our meeting structure, and observe the facilitator's role. It also provides the time and space for us to get to know you, and you, us. We want to ensure sustainability and authenticity in our groups, creating an environment that supports the empowerment of our members.
If you think Kaleidoscope could support you on a personal level, we welcome you to come check out a meeting. Please find our current schedule here.
If our group isn't the most appropriate place for you to get involved, please see our resource page for a list of other mental health-related organizations on campus and in the community who also may have volunteer opportunities.
Thanks, and please don't hesitate to email us if you have any questions about our recruitment process: email@example.com.
