Impeachment Explained
With the news that the House of Representatives has launched an impeachment inquiry, many of us could use some explainers or refreshers on the rarely-used constitutional process of impeachment.
First, the Constitutional text. The United States Constitution provides for impeachment and removal of office for the President and other Executive officers in Article II §4:
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
The Constitution divides the power to impeach and the power to adjudicate impeachment between the chambers of Congress, with the House of Representatives having the power to impeach and the Senate having the power to adjudicate the impeachment and effect removal from office.
Article I §2 provides:
The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
Article I §3 provides:
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.
The Constitution does not further detail the processes, but there is the precedent of previous impeachment processes, including those against Presidents Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, and William Clinton which were resolved at various stages and none of which led to conviction and removal. There is also the more frequent experience with judicial impeachments.
The Congressional Research Service has two excellent explainers on impeachment. First and of immediate interest is the report entitled The Impeachment Process in the House of Representatives. It was updated August 2019, and although it is only 15 pages, it is an excellent and substantive discussion of the process and requirements. A somewhat longer report from 2015 entitled Impeachment and Removal provides an overview including grounds for impeachment and trial in the Senate. As this report also notes, the question of impeachment has been held to be a nonjusticiable political question by the United States Supreme Court in Nixon v. United States, 506 U.S. 224 (1993), a case involving the impeachment of federal Judge Walter Nixon (not President Nixon, who resigned in 1974).
There have also been several good explainers in the media; here are a few:
Jennifer Haberkorn, Impeachment 101: How could Congress remove President Trump from office?, Los Angeles Times (May 30, 2019);
Ed Kilgore, The Impeachment Process Explained: What Happens to Trump Now?, New York Magazine (September 25, 2019);
Amber Phillips, What you need to know about the impeachment inquiry into Trump, Washington Post (September 25, 2019);
Charlie Savage, How the Impeachment Process Works, New York Times (September 24, 2019).

SAMURAI (aka: SHOOT FIRST… ASK QUESTIONS LATER) (IL BIANCO IL GIALLO IL NERO)
(director/writer: Sergio Corbucci; screenwriters: Mario Amendola/Renée Asseo/Luis G. de Blain/Santiago Moncada/story by Marcello Coscia & Antonio Troiso; cinematographer: Luis Cuadrado; editor: Eugenio Alabiso; music: Guido De Angelis/Maurizio De Angelis; cast: Eli Wallach (Sheriff Edward 'Black Jack' Gideon), Giuliano Gemma (Swiss), Tomas Milian (Sakura), Jacques Berthier (Kelly Butler), Manuel de Blas (Captain Donovan), Lorenzo Robledo (Colonel); Runtime: 99; MPAA Rating: R; producer: Sergio Corbucci; Millenium Storm DVD; 1975-Italy-dubbed in English)
"Ridiculously silly comedy spaghetti western, that gets its kicks as it spoofs the genre with low-brow comedy."
Reviewed by Dennis Schwartz
Sergio Corbucci ("Django"/"The Big Silence"/"Companeros") directs with slapstick relish this offbeat ridiculously silly comedy spaghetti western, that gets its kicks as it spoofs the genre with low-brow and offensive ethnic comedy. It blends together a wild cartoonish story set in the American frontier (filmed in Rome), that brings together as mismatched partners in a quest to recover the prized Japanese Emperor's miniature pony stolen from a train by renegade cavalrymen dressed as Indians, the oddball threesome of a comical phony accented Japanese wannabe honorable samurai swordsman named Sakura (Tomas Milian, Cuban actor), a notorious nervy con man named Swiss (Giuliano Gemma) and a celebrated family man honorable straight and narrow gunslinger sheriff named Black Jack Gideon (Eli Wallach).
The pony is robbed from the train by fake Indians, who kill the samurai guard because his servant Sakura took his sword while he was sleeping to pretend to be a samurai. The pony is held for the ransom of a million dollars, a sum the Japanese authorities are willing to pay for its safe return. The Japanese request that the sheriff exchange the gold in a strong-box for the pony at the remote mountain desert location requested by the thieves. Sakura goes along to save face, feeling he let the Japanese government down in not guarding the pony. They are joined by Swiss, who was on the run aboard the train after robbing the sheriff of the money due the deputies and now schemes to steal the ransom money.
Everyone has some trick up their sleeve. The Japanese place dynamite in the strongbox with three different colored locks and tell the sheriff which lock to open for the money, as they warm him the other two locks when opened will cause a dynamite explosion. On the trail there is an ongoing series of incidents that include alternating captures and escapes, mix-ups, and betrayals. We learn at some point that an unscrupulous banker and railroad man (Jacques Berthier) is behind the stolen pony theft. Eventually the fake Indians are dealt with by frontier justice, as are the crazed bad guy former cavalry soldiers. There's a twist ending depicting how the trio of pony rescuers fare after their success, each with different results.
The DVD visual quality and dubbing of Samurai was horrible, rendering it almost unwatchable. I suspect this is one muddled film that will only please Corbucci fans and not make many new converts for the noted spaghetti western film director.

Pastor and founder of Latter Rain Assembly, Pastor Tunde Bakare, has revealed he gave incumbent Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai N160 million during his campaign to become the Governor of the North Western State in 2015.
The Cleric made this known last weekend in Glasgow, Scotland where he addressed a crowd while speaking extensively on the theme of the event: "A New Nigeria Re-engineered, The Role of the Diaspora."
Bakare stated that, asides paying back the loan, Governor Nasir El-Rufai offered to make the pastor's son the head of one of his companies, but he rejected the offer for some undisclosed reasons.
He said "The current governor of Kaduna State once stayed in my house and we discussed many political and personal issues. I wrote the foreword of his published book with the little information I knew about him then. I invited him from Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to join Congress for Progressive Change (CPC). When he was contesting for the governorship of Kaduna State, I contributed N160million for his electioneering campaign and he later paid me back".
The Pastor further criticized the plundering of resources by some former African dictators in their respective countries within the poverty ravaged continent.
When challenged by an audience on his silence and non-criticism of Buhari's government over the recent happenings in the country he said he does not believe in playing to the gallery.
"The Buhari I know will not steal money. Buhari is my friend but I am not afraid to tell him the truth. You don't stab your friend in a public place. I know ways to reach out directly to Mr. President. If you notice, I did not really start to criticize Buhari until January this year. I once told him that you cannot consider yourself as clean if you surround yourself with many unclean people," Bakare answered.

text: Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumours (MPNSTs) are highly malignant and resistant. nerve sheath tumours (MPNSTs) are Schwann cell neoplasms that are extremely aggressive, lethal frequently, and resistant to typical rays and chemotherapy [1 generally, 2]. Almost half of the tumours occur in the framework from the inherited predisposition symptoms, neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), recommending that inactivation from the tumour suppressor gene may be linked to the advancement of the malignancies [3] causally. NF1 is certainly a dominantly inherited individual disease impacting one in 2500 to 3500 people [4]. NF1 182133-27-3 manufacture is certainly seen as a caf-au-lait areas (level pigmented skin damage), Lish nodules (abnormality from the iris), skeletal abnormalities, learning disabilities, neurofibromas, 182133-27-3 manufacture and increased threat of developing malignant tumours from the peripheral and central nervous program [5]. NF1 is connected with mutations from the tumour suppressor gene allele and get rid of the second duplicate in the MPNST cells. Lack of both copies was seen in benign neurofibromas also. Chances are that tumour suppressor mutations by itself are not enough, which deregulation and/or mutations of oncogenes are essential to stimulate malignant change of Schwann cells. The overexpression or mutation from the tumour suppressor gene seen in MPNSTs facilitates the idea that p53 modifications are likely involved in their advancement [9]. Several research have confirmed the central function of epidermal development aspect receptor (EGFR) in malignant change of Schwann cells [10C13]. To your knowledge, just 12 situations of individual MPNST have already been examined for EGFR by immunohistochemistry [10, 13]. In today's research, we examined the appearance of EGFR in the tumours of 52 sufferers with MPNST, and compared it with NF1 success and position. 2. METHODS and MATERIALS 2.1. Sufferers and samples Sufferers of the primary series (= 52) had been all treated in the Institut Gustave Roussy (IGR, Villejuif, France) between 1985 and 2005. Clinical 182133-27-3 manufacture information had been reviewed by among us (R. Bahleda), with particular attention to preliminary localization, NF1 position, survival and treatment. Medical diagnosis of NF1 was set up based on the NIH requirements [14]. A lot of the sufferers had undergone medical procedures in another center and had been secondary described IGR. Tumours had been regarded as regional stage, when R0 medical procedures originally was performed, and advanced stage for R1 and R2 medical procedures locally. Just cases with paraffin embedded MPNST samples were contained in the scholarly research. Histological review was understood for everyone included sufferers by at least two pathologists (PT, MJTL, JFE) on hematoxylin-eosin stained slides. Medical diagnosis of MPNST was performed regarding to WHO requirements [15]. Grading from the tumours had not been performed, because of limited levels of paraffin inserted examples. Immunostaining with S100 proteins (rabbit polyclonal, Dako, Carpenteria, Calif, USA) and Package (rabbit polyclonal, Dako) was performed when essential to confirm medical diagnosis. All 52 paraffin inserted samples had been put through immunohistochemistry; 8 which were analysed by FISH/CISH also. Frozen examples from 20 various other sufferers with MPNST had been employed for the RNA evaluation. Sixteen had been from a previously released series [16] and four from Lon Brard Center (Lyon, France). Frozen control examples from 14 sufferers with harmless dermal neurofibromas had been also examined. All samples had been obtained from medical procedures performed for diagnostic and/or healing purpose, and had been used regarding to French moral rules. 182133-27-3 manufacture 2.2. Immunohistochemistry Immunohistochemistry was performed on four micron areas from paraffin inserted tumour examples, after antigen retrieval by heating system at 95C for 20 a few minutes in 10 mM citrate buffer pH6. For mouse monoclonal anti-EGFR (31G7, Zymed, South SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, Calif, USA, last dilution 1/10), P53 (Perform-7, Novocastra, Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, last dilution 1/50), and anti-Ki-67 (Mib1 Dako, last dilution 1/50), staining was uncovered with LSAB package (Dako). For anti-Survivin (12C4, Dako, last dilution 1/100) staining was uncovered with CSAII (Dako), regarding to manufacturer's instructions. For EGFR staining, tumour cells had been considered harmful, when positive indicators had been discovered on nontumour cells (generally spindle cells and/or little nerves in the periphery from the tumours); usually, staining was regarded as not really interpretable. 2.3. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (Seafood) Eight paraffin inserted samples of the primary series had been examined for EGFR amplification. EGFR particular series probe (LSI EGFR) and control chromosome enumeration probe 7 (CEP7) had been used based on the producers' recommended process (Vysis-Abbott Molecular Diagnostics, Baar, Switzerland), but with some minimal adjustments. The DNA probes as well as the sections of tissue had been denatured at 85C for five minutes utilizing a HYBrite device. An additional clean in distilled drinking water was added before Rabbit Polyclonal to Nuclear Receptor NR4A1 (phospho-Ser351) counterstaining and mounting with a remedy of 4, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). The full total email address details are reported as the ratio of average EGFR/CEP7 signals per nucleus. Indication ratios of <2 had been categorized as nonamplified (NA).

One of the nicest things about mountain towns? You can walk their breadth in a matter of minutes. Small size notwithstanding, however, many locals and visitors prefer to pedal. For a number of reasons- eco-consciousness, limited parking, safety- many ski towns have established bike paths. Curbed Ski has rounded up some of the best for you- from Tahoe to Stowe- with regard to scenery, historical interest, convenience, construction, or location.
Truckee River Bike Trail: Explore the North Shore, from Tahoe City to Squaw Valley (A Class 1 path is coming soon to downtown Truckee, with expansion plans to Donner Lake). This 6.8 mile trail has connectors to fishing, picnicking, and rafting sites, as well as access to the Tahoe Rim Trail. Check it out.
Wenatchee River Road, Leavenworth, WA: Okay, it's not technically a bike path, as it's not paved, but it's right outside of town, near the crest of the glorious Cascades. It's an easy, meandering 8.5-mile cruiser with some hills and plenty of swimming holes. Do note it's on private land although it's a public trail, so behave.
Wood River Trails, Ketchum: Sun Valley's swanky rep can overshadow laidback Ketchum's more rustic charms. A ride along the riverside multi-use "Bike Path" is one of the best ways to spend a summer or fall day. The Wood River Valley is aptly named: there are sections of path thick with vegetation; as you head out toward the towns of Hailey and Bellevue, you're pedaling on the prairie. Another plus: the 20-mile Wood River Trail System is designed as a self-guided historical tour, with interpretive signs that detail the region's mining, sheep ranching, and ski history. Note: The main trail will be undergoing renovation and restoration through September, so check the website for weekly section closure updates.
Telluride Bike Path: It's literally impossible not to have great views in Telluride, and while Curbed Ski loves the dirt San Miguel River Trail, it's technically not bike-friendly past the west end, where it connects to the Valley Floor. This all-too-brief, 3-mile paved path alongside Highway 145 will help ease any box canyon-induced claustrophobia you may feel. It connects to the Galloping Goose Trail in Lawson Hill, and also provides access to the Valley Floor at the Shell station/San Miguel Country Store.
The Recreational Path, Crested Butte: Short and sweet at just over two miles, the "Rec Path" is the connector from the town proper up to Mt. Crested Butte. Although it runs alongside the road, the scenery is gorge in summer, especially during the wildflower bloom around mid-July. Pedal past meadows and pasture (mountain vistas in the background) and check out the interpretive plaques along the way for notes on the geology, history, and flora and fauna of the region.
Rio Grande Trail, Aspen: Call us biased, but this is one of the most stunning- and ingenious- bike paths to be found anywhere in the U.S. Part of the former Denver-Rio Grande Railroad bed, the path begins at Herron Park in Aspen, and runs the length of the Roaring Fork Valley, to Glenwood Springs, 41 miles away. The Aspen-to-Carbondale leg is particularly alluring; you'll pass waterfalls cascading off of hematite rock face, and cross wooden railroad trestle bridges.
Vail Pass Bike Path: This 8.7-mile path is a butt-burner- while paved, it gains 1,831 feet in elevation, topping out at 10,603 feet. If you're fit (or hitch a ride to the summit), it's worth the pain: the scenery through verdant East Vail, up the pass, and over the undulating summit to Copper Mountain is alpine-amazing. If you're a novice, opt for the relaxing Gore Creek Path in Vail Village; if you're feeling ambitious, it extends down valley all the way to Edwards.
Jackson to Jenny Lake, Jackson Hole: Dedicated bike paths have long been a pet project for the community; road cycling in Grand Teton National Park has been deadly due to distracted drivers, and the region now has many bike paths. This long-awaited paved, multi-use stretch was years in the making, and completed in 2012. It runs to the south end of the popular lake, providing classic Teton views that are, hands down, some of America's most staggeringly beautiful scenery.
Stowe Bike Path: Open year-round, this 5.3-mile paver starts in the village, and goes over the proverbial (West Branch) river and through the woods. Don't forget the camera- it's classic New England, scenery, from the starting point at the sharp-spired Stowe Congregational Church to the 11 arched wooden bridges you'll cross en route.

Life Insurance CE Credit
CE credits for insurance agents are required in every state. However, because of time conflicts, many professionals are having troubles completing this requirement. Nevertheless, because of online courses available today, ce courses can be obtained with just a click of the mouse right at the comfort of the agents and brokers' homes. Many companies today are offering insurance ce credit that can be approved for all 50 states, so choosing a reputable company would be the only task involved in obtaining the necessary credits.
While some companies provide their employees with free courses to fulfill their life insurance ce credits as benefits, some companies don't. If you're one of the insurance agents or brokers that have to complete these requirements on their own, you can choose to do it online. Listed below are some benefits you would receive if you opt to receive continuing education credits online, instead of attending an on-site seminar.
- Studying continuing education courses would provide you with practical knowledge that could enhance your career by making you a more competitive agent, broker, CSR, adjuster, underwriter or risk manager.
- Compared to on-site seminars, obtaining ce credits for life insurance online saves you money since you have no travel costs to worry about and no lost time from working since you study and take the tests at home.
- With an online ce program, you can order a particular course within seconds and get immediate access to the course materials, which you can choose to print as hard copy or read on your computer even without Internet access.
- Since you would be studying on your own, you don't have to work out your schedule around a pre-set seminar date or time. Instead, you can review the course booklets and other materials whenever and wherever most convenient to your lifestyle. In addition, because you are given the freedom to learn on your own, you don't have to take notes while a fast-speaking lecturer is giving out information; you can study the course at your own pace, allowing you to learn the subjects on hand completely
- In you're a resident of the states that allow online testing to obtain life insurance ce credit, the you will be given immediate notice once you passed an exam.
- Just like completing a seminar, studying by yourself and passing the online exam could give you a certification that would increase your credibility with prospective clients and contractors.
The only disadvantage of obtaining ce credits online is you have to be responsible enough in studying on your own, so self-discipline is a must. If you can't learn the course without supervision, then online courses are not suitable for you.

The Stakes Have Never Been More Reasonable: A Quiet Afternoon, edited by Liane Tsui and Grace Seybold
I don't think of science fiction as a predictable genre. It's filled with widely varying ideas, settings, characters, and plots, and produced by a hugely diverse group of writers all over the planet. But in at least one way, SF does tend to be predictable: it's a genre of high-stakes drama. It concerns itself with apocalypses, alien invasions, desperate battles against evil empires, dystopias, life-and-death court intrigue, world-altering time travel, thunderous space battles — a whole lot of sound and fury, really.
But it doesn't have to be. Does a good tale require high stakes? That's the question posed by the new anthology from Canadian small press Grace & Victory, run by Grace Seybold and Victoria Feistner. A Quiet Afternoon, edited by Liane Tsui and Grace Seybold, collects 14 original low-stakes tales that aim to simultaneously entertain and comfort. Here's the description.
A peaceful break from a stressful world.
The stakes have never been milder or more reasonable.
A Quiet Afternoon brings readers thirteen Low-Fi tales of gentle speculative fiction, stories of wonder and the celebration of small successes. Ease into worlds of quiet triumph and gracious victories; of found families and unlikely friendships; magical constructs, pensive mermaids, fairies and dragons and a barbecue sauce that will literally change your life.
The stakes are low. The expectations are reasonable. The resolutions are satisfactory. Wrap yourself up in a cozy blanket, make a cup of tea, and enjoy A Quiet Afternoon.
Here's a snippet from Laura DeHaan's Foreword which explains the intriguing genesis behind the book.
In early 2019, Victoria Feistner and I just wanted to read speculative fiction that wasn't high-stakes, where the fate of the world didn't hinge on the actions of a single hero overcoming impossible odds … Manga and anime do a good job of incorporating the fantastic with the mundane (Fruits Basket, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, My Neighbour Totoro), but Western SF really likes its earth-shattering consequences and do-or-die protagonists … We started reading for A Quiet Anthology in late 2019. The world was in a weird place, but that made the selection process relatively easy. If the story left behind a feeling of comfort, or relief, or a little sigh of "Wasn't that nice," then it was pretty much a shoo-in for the anthology… We are all overcoming impossible odds in our everyday lives — and when that's the case, where do we escape to? … So, check in with yourself. Take a nap. Have a juice box. Would you like to read stories with magical robots and talking animals and the beginnings of a wonderful friendship? It's okay. They're here for you. Take care, and enjoy A Quiet Afternoon.
I think this is a great idea for an anthology, and I'm very much looking forward to reading it. It was released today; here's the complete Table of Contents for A Quiet Afternoon.
Foreword – Laura DeHaan
"The Baker's Cat" – Elizabeth Hart Bergstrom

Soldiers speak to people standing away from houses burnt by Boko Haram Islamists at Zabarmari, a fishing and farming village near Maiduguri, northeast Nigeria, on July 3, 2015. Several female suicide bombers in northeast Nigeria blew themselves up amid panicked villagers fleeing a Boko Haram attack, killing scores, the army and witnesses said on July 4. The latest carnage in series of attacks that have claimed more than 200 lives in just three days happened on Friday night in Zabarmari village, 10 kilometres (six miles) from the city of Maiduguri, the birthplace of the jihadist group.

Boko Haram embarrassing my govt — BUHARI
By Kingsley Omonobi, Levinus Nwabughiogu & Ndahi Marama
ABUJA—Military sources have confirmed that over 50 persons were killed by scores of Boko Haram terrorists armed with AK 47 rifles and other sophisticated weapons in the attack on Dalori village, about 4 kilometers away from Maiduguri.
President angered by sect
This came as President Muhammadu Buhari, in Abuja said that Boko Haram sect was embarrassing his government with renewed onslaught against the people of the north-east.
The attack and wanton destruction of lives and properties including livestock and cattle in Dalori village, came despite repeated government claims that Boko Haram insurgents had been degraded and no longer had the capacity to assemble or carry out such large scale attacks except through suicide bombings
It was gathered that the military on learning of the Boko Haram attack on Dalori on Saturday night, dispatched troops to engaged them, resulting in a fierce gun battle.
The terrorists were said to have inflicted heavy carnage on Dalori and another village of Walori, for close to two hours before the military arrived.
The source said the villagers who had always been on the alert, were deceived by the fact that the insurgents came in Hilux Vans and were dressed in camouflage hence the villagers mistook them for troops on patrol.
Bodies of those killed, it was gathered, were evacuated to the Borno State Specialist Hospital in Maiduguri and the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital.
"Several others whose numbers were estimated at 70 who received gunshot, machete injuries, etc, were also evacuated to the two hospitals", the source said.
Insurgents more desperate now— BUHARI
Meanwhile, speaking against the backdrop of plethora of suicide bombings in Chibok market, Dolari Internally Displaced Persons' IDP, camp in Borno State and the Gombi market in Adamawa State in the passing week, president Buhari said that the insurgents had become more desperate, saying that the recent bombings were attempts to gain public sympathy and attention having suffered terribly in the hands of Nigerian military.
According to President Buhari, the terrorists had been rendered weak, confused and homeless after repeated bombings and ravaging of their camps and hide outs by the military, forcing them to find their way back into the society to wreak havoc, like the case of the Dolari and IDP.
The President also noted that the materials for making the Improvised Explosive Devices, IEDs, were locally sourced by the insurgents and urged Nigerians especially residents of the north-east region to be more vigilant and circumspect.
Air Force pounds Sambisa
In the mean time, as part of efforts to soften the ground for troops, the Nigerian Airforce, NAF, has sustained aerial bombardment of Sambisa Forest with over 280 operational sorties conducted against terrorist's targets in the last one month.
The Deputy Theatre Commander Air of Operation Lafiya Dole, Air Vice Marshal Isiaka Oladayo Amao, who made this known at a briefing in Maiduguri, said the air strikes and bombardments were conducted by the Air Component of the Operation Lafiya Dole in the North-East.
Amao explained that the sustained air operations and surveillance within the Theater of operation in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States, were intensified between December 2015 and January 2016 towards ending the Boko Haram menace.

Time is a precious gift. It's also a weird concept. How to manage time is one of the most searched term on Google.
Time flies by when you're having fun, yet seems to pass slowly when you're at work or in class at school. Sometimes you watch the clock closely, waiting for the exact time you will be relieved of your duties (or for the bell to ring).
Sometimes, it can often seem like there are never enough hours in the day to get everything accomplished. This is especially true if you have multiple responsibilities (such as if you own your own business)!
We are all given the same amount of time each day.
How do you spend your time? Do you spend it wisely?
Countless articles have been written on how to make the most out of your time, and also how to increase your productivity and organize your life. But most of them don't address one key thing: regret. Most people eventually regret how they spent their time! That is because many people waste it.
If you ask a dying person what he or she would like more of, the answer would be TIME.
Are you going to have the same answer on your deathbed? Or will you be proud of the life you have lived?
To help you answer "yes" to the latter question, I want to open your mind to how you currently spend your time and think about how you actually should be spending it.
How To Manage Time (without regrets)?
The best way to spend your time is to do the things that will:
- Cause you NOT to have any regrets… ever
- Allow you to enjoy life to the fullest
To determine how you should you be spending your time, you need to first figure out your priorities.
What are Your Priorities?
Analyze what is truly important to you, while looking at the big picture of life.
If being productive is on your list, consider using these tips to become a productivity master!
If earning money is a priority for you, you are likely going to spend your time on tasks that will help you increase your income. You might even work multiple jobs to attain your monetary goals.
If enjoying quality time with your loved ones (family and friends) is important, you will likely spend your leisure time planning activities for everyone to partake in. Vacations, family dinners, special celebrations, and outings to interesting places will be at the top of your list!
However, if leaving a legacy behind is one of your main goals, you might spend your time chronicling your memoirs, so your stories and life lessons are passed down to your descendants! The wonderful thing about today's digitally advanced world is that anyone can become an author and sell books on Amazon (and/or Selz, and/or Gumroad, and/or other places, including your website). I know, because I became an author, and I help others become authors too!
Do You Sacrifice Your Time? Why? And for Whom?
We all make sacrifices in life. The question you need to ask yourself is this: "Is this sacrifice worth it?"
Some people sacrifice their time so that others may benefit. Some people make sacrifices so they, themselves, can benefit.
As a freelance writer and editor (and life coach) who has elderly parents, I make business sacrifices each week. Sometimes, I think I should be looking for more people to help (and therefore working for them, and growing my business). But I sacrifice earning money so that I can spend time with my mom and dad, and enjoy them while they are still here! I know a time will come when they will be either too ill or simply not able to do the things we all currently do together (go out for dinner, play cards, etc.). I justify my sacrifice by using this mindset: I can always earn money, but I won't always be able to spend time with my parents.
I also know that, if I were to spend more time doing other things that didn't involve them, I would have regrets when they died. I don't want to ever think, "I wish I would've spent more time with them!" So, in my mind, my sacrifices are worth it! (I love my parents!).
Balance Your Time Wisely
The best way to manage your time efficiently is to make a weekly schedule that includes:
- Things you must do
- Things you want to do
If you need help doing this, there is a free planner available at 15 Tips for Effectively Managing YOUR Precious Time.
When you are creating your schedule, be sure to include time for:
- Work
- Exercise
- Leisure activities such as reading, writing, going for a walk to enjoy nature, going to the beach, watching your favorite show on TV, your hobbies, etc.
- Family and friends (social time)
- Things are important to you so that you don't have any regrets!
Be More Mindful of How You Spend Your Time
Are you making the most of your time? Are you going to start making the most of your time now? How to manage time wisely?
As you were reading this article, I'm sure you had thoughts about at least ONE thing that you know you should be doing that you're currently NOT. So I want to urge you to take a step today that will enable you to reach your goal, so that you can say you lived your life without any regrets!

There are many process control applications in industry where it is desirable to have multiple control valves respond to the output of a common controller. Control valves configured to follow the command of the same controller are said to be split-ranged, or sequenced.
Split-ranged control valves may take different forms of sequencing. A few different modes of control valve sequencing are commonly seen in industry: complementary, exclusive, and progressive21 .
27.11.1 Complementary valve sequencing
The first type of control valve sequencing is a mode where two valves serve to proportion a mixture of two fluid streams, such as this example where base and pigment liquids are mixed together to form colored paint:
Both base and pigment valves operate from the same 3 to 15 PSI pneumatic signal output by the I/P transducer (AY), but one of the valves is Air-To-Open while the other is Air-To-Close. The following table shows the relationship between valve opening for each control valve and the controller's output:
An alternative expression for this split-range valve behavior is a graph showing each valve opening as a colored stripe of varying width (wider representing further open). For this particular mode of split-ranging, the graph would look like this:
With this form of split-ranging, there is never a condition in the controller's output range where both valves are fully open or fully shut. Rather, each valve complements the other's position22 .
An alternative to complementary valve sequencing in a process where two fluid streams mix (or diverge) is to use one three-way valve23 rather than a pair of two-way valves:
A photograph of a three-way globe valve mixing hot and cold water to control temperature is shown here:
27.11.2 Exclusive valve sequencing
Other applications for split-ranged control valves call for a form of valve sequencing where both valves are fully closed at a 50% controller output signal, with one valve opening fully as the controller output drives toward 100% and the other valve opening fully as the controller output goes to 0%. The nature of this valve sequencing is to have an "either-or" throttled path for process fluid. That is, either process fluid flows through one valve or through the other, but never through both at the same time.
A practical example of this form of split-ranging is reagent feed for a pH neutralization process, where the pH value of process liquid is brought closer to neutral by the addition of either acid or caustic reagent liquids:
Here, a pH analyzer monitors the pH value of the liquid solution and a single pH controller commands two reagent valves to open when needed. If the process pH begins to increase, the controller output signal increases as well (direct action) to open up the acid valve. The addition of acid to the mixture will have the effect of lowering the mixture's pH value. Conversely, if the process pH begins to decrease, the controller output signal will decrease as well, closing the acid valve and then opening the caustic valve. The addition of caustic to the mixture will have the effect of raising the mixture's pH value.
Both reagent control valves operate from the same 3 to 15 PSI pneumatic signal output by the I/P transducer (AY), but the two valves' calibrated ranges are not the same. The Air-To-Open acid valve has an operating range of 9 to 15 PSI, while the Air-To-Close caustic valve has an operating range of 9 to 3 PSI. The following table shows the relationship between valve opening for each control valve and the controller's output:
Again, we may express the two valves' exclusive relationship in the form of a graph, with colored stripes representing valve opening:
Exclusive-sequenced control valves are used in applications where it would be undesirable to have both valves open simultaneously. In the example given of a pH neutralization process, the goal here is for the controller to add either acid reagent or caustic reagent to "push" the pH value either direction as needed. However, simultaneously adding both acid and caustic to the process would be wasteful, as one reagent would simply neutralize the other with no benefit to the process liquid itself.
27.11.3 Progressive valve sequencing
A third form of control valve sequencing is used to expand the operating range of flow control for some fluid beyond that which a single control valve could muster. Once again pH control provides a suitable example to illustrate an application of this form of sequencing.
pH is an especially challenging application of process control because the dynamic range of the process is enormous. Each unit of pH value change represents a ten-fold change in hydrogen ion concentration within the process liquid. This means the difference in ion concentration between a process liquid having a value of 10 pH and a process liquid having a value of 7 pH (a pH difference of 3) is a factor of one thousand (103)! Consequently, the flow rate of reagent necessary to neutralize a process liquid stream may vary widely. It is quite possible that a control valve sized to throttle minimum flow will simply be too small to meet the demands of high flow when needed. Yet, a control valve sized large enough to meet the maximum flow rate may be too large to precisely "turn down" when just a trickle of reagent is needed.
This same general control problem was encountered by automotive engineers in the days when carburetors were used to mix gasoline with air prior to combustion in an engine. A carburetor is a mechanical air flow control device using a "butterfly" valve element to throttle air flow into the engine, and a venturi element producing vacuum to aspirate fuel droplets into the air stream to create an air-fuel mixture. A carburetor with a butterfly valve and flow tube sized to idle well and respond to the needs of in-town driving would not flow enough air to provide good high-speed performance. Conversely, a large carburetor suitable for driving at racing speeds would offer poor control at low-speed and idling operation. Their solution to this problem was the progressive carburetor, having two butterfly valves to throttle the flow of air into the engine. One butterfly valve passed low amounts of air flow only, while a larger butterfly valve opened up only when the accelerator pedal was nearly at its maximum position. The combination of two differently-sized butterfly valves – progressively opened – gave drivers the best of both worlds. Now, an automobile engine could perform well both at low power levels and at high power levels.
On a fundamental level, the problem faced in pH control as well as by early automotive engineers is the same thing: insufficient rangeability. Some processes demand a greater range of control than any single valve can deliver, and it is within these processes that a pair of progressively-sequenced control valves is a valid solution.
Applying this solution to a pH control process where the incoming liquid always has a high pH value, and must be neutralized with acid:
Proper sequencing of the small and large acid control valves is shown in the table and the graph:
With the two acid control valves sequenced progressively, the control system will have significantly more rangeability necessary to regulate pH under widely varying process conditions.
A photograph showing a pair of progressively sequenced control valves used to control boiler feedwater to the high-pressure ("HP") drum on a large power boiler is shown here:
One small control valve (horizontal, with a green actuator) is the first to open from 4 to 12 mA. A larger control valve (vertical, with a red actuator) is the next to open from 12 mA to 20 mA. Under normal (full-power) operating conditions, the green valve is wide-open while the larger red valve throttles feedwater to the steam drum. When the boiler is operating in standby (low-power) mode, the red valve is shut while the smaller green valve throttles feedwater to the steam drum. The combination of these two control valves provides better steam drum level control over the boiler's full range of operation than any single control valve could do alone.
27.11.4 Valve sequencing implementations
In all previous control valve sequencing examples shown, both control valves received the same pneumatic signal from a common I/P (current-to-pressure) converter. This means each valve received the exact same pressure signal from the transducer for any given controller output value. Sequencing of the two valves (i.e. making each one respond differently to the same air pressure signal), therefore, was a matter of setting each valve to a different bench-set pressure range.
It should be understood, however, that setting up two control valves with different bench-set ranges is not the only way to split-range a pair of valves. Other ways exist as well, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
The following illustrations depict several alternative methods for control valve sequencing (split-ranging):
The common pneumatic signal approach (one controller, one I/P transducer) is simple but suffers from the disadvantage of slow response, since one I/P transducer must drive two pneumatic actuators. Response time may be improved by adding a pneumatic volume booster between the I/P and the valve actuators, or by adding a positioner to at least one of the valves. Either of these solutions works by the same principle: reducing the air volume demand on the one common I/P transducer.
Wiring two I/P transducers in series so they share a common signal current is another way to split-range two control valves. This approach does not suffer from slow response, since each valve has its own dedicated I/P transducer to supply it with actuating air. We now have a choice where we implement the split ranges: we can do it in the I/P transducers (i.e. each I/P transducer having a different calibration) or in the control valves (i.e. each control valve having a different bench-set pressure range). Since it is generally easier to re-range an I/P than it is to rebuild a control valve with a different spring (to give it a different actuating pressure range), this approach has the advantage of convenient configuration.
A disadvantage of the series-wired I/P strategy is the extra burden placed on the controller's output signal circuitry: one must be careful to ensure the two series-connected I/P converters do not drop too much voltage at full current, or else the controller may have difficulty driving both devices in series. Another (potential) disadvantage of series-connected valve devices in one current loop is the inability to install "smart" instruments communicating with the HART protocol, since multiple devices on the same loop will experience address conflicts24 . HART devices can only work in hybrid analog/digital mode when there is one device per 4-20 mA circuit.
A popular way to implement split-ranging is to use multiple 4-20 mA outputs on the same controller. This is very easy to do if the controller is part of a large system (e.g. a DCS or a PLC) with multiple analog output channels. If multiple outputs are configured on one controller, each valve will have its own dedicated wire pair for control. This tends to result in simpler wiring than series-wired I/P transducers or positioners, since each valve loop is a standard 4-20 mA circuit just like any other (non-split-ranged) control valve loop circuit. It may also be the most practical way to implement split-ranging when "smart" valve positioners are used, since the dedicated loop circuits allow for normal operation of the HART protocol with no address conflicts.
An advantage of dual controller outputs is the ability to perform the split-range sequencing within the controller itself, which is often easier than re-ranging an I/P or calibrating a valve positioner. This way, the 4-20 mA signals going to each valve will be unique for any given controller output value. If sequenced as such, the I/P transducer calibration and valve bench-set values may be standard rather than customized. Of course, just because the controller is capable of performing the necessary sequencing doesn't mean the sequencing must be done within the controller. It is possible to program the controller's dual analog outputs to send the exact same current signal to each valve, configuring each valve (or each positioner, or each I/P transducer) to respond differently to the identical current signals.
A digital adaptation of the dual-output controller sequencing method is seen in FOUNDATION Fieldbus systems25 , where a special software function block called "SPLT" exists to provide split-ranged sequencing to two valves. The "SPLT" function block takes in a single control signal and outputs two signals, one output signal for each valve in a split-ranged pair. The function block diagram for such a system appears here:
In this Fieldbus system, a single PID control block outputs a signal to the SPLT block, which is programmed to drive two unique positioning signals to the two valves' AO (analog output) blocks. It should be noted that while each AO block is unique to its own control valve, the SPLT and even PID blocks may be located in any capable device within the Fieldbus network. With FOUNDATION Fieldbus, control system functions are not necessarily relegated to separate devices. It is possible, for example, to have a control valve equipped with a Fieldbus positioner actually perform its own PID control calculations and split-ranged sequencing by locating those function blocks in that one physical device!
Dual controllers are an option only for specialized applications requiring different degrees of responsiveness for each valve, usually for exclusive or progressive split-ranging applications only. Care must be taken to ensure the controllers' output signals do not wander outside of their intended ranges, or that the controllers do not begin to "fight" each other in trying to control the same process variable26 .
An important consideration – and one that is easily overlooked – in split-range valve systems is fail-safe mode. As discussed in a previous section of this chapter (on section 27.7.3), the basis of fail-safe control system design is that the control valve(s) must be chosen to fail in the mode that is safest for the process in the event of actuating power loss or control signal loss. The actions of all other instruments in the loop should then be selected to complement the valves' natural operating mode.
In control systems where valves are split-ranged in either complementary or exclusive fashion, one control valve will be fully closed and the other will be fully open at each extreme end of the signal range (e.g. at 4 mA and at 20 mA). If the sequencing for a set of complementary or exclusive split-ranged control valves happens after the controller (e.g. different actuator actions) the valves must fail in opposite modes upon loss of controller signal. However, if it is deemed safer for the process to have the two valves fail in the same state – for example, to both fail closed in the event of air pressure or signal loss – we may use dual sequenced controller outputs, achieving either complementary or exclusive control action by driving the two valves with two different output signals. In other words, split-ranging two control valves so they normally behave in opposite fashion does not necessarily mean the two valves must fail in opposite states. The secret to achieving proper failure mode and proper split-range sequencing is to carefully locate where the sequencing takes place in the control system.
As an example of a split-ranged system with opposite valve failure modes, consider the following temperature control system supplying either hot water or chilled water to a "jacket" surrounding a chemical reactor vessel. The purpose of this system is to either add or remove heat from the reactor as needed to control the temperature of its contents. Chemical piping in and out of the reactor vessel has been omitted from this P&ID for simplicity, so we can focus just on the reactor's temperature control system:
Here, the controller has been configured for dual-output operation, where the output value drives two identical 4-20 mA signals to the control valve positioners, which directly input the current signals from the controller without the need for I/P transducers in between. The hot water valve (TV-37a) is fail-closed (FC) while the cold water valve (TV-37b) is fail-open (FO). Half-range positioner calibrations provide the exclusive sequencing necessary to ensure the two valves are never open simultaneously – TV-37b operates on the lower half of the 4-20 mA signal range (4-12 mA), while TV-37a operates on the upper half (12-20 mA).
Consider the effects from the controller (TIC-37) losing power. Both 4-20 mA signals will go dead, driving both valves to their fail-safe modes: hot water valve TV-37a will fully close, while cold water valve TV-37b will fully open. Now consider the effects of air pressure loss to both valves. With no air pressure to operate, the actuators will likewise spring-return to their fail-safe modes: once again hot water valve TV-37a will fully close, while cold water valve TV-37b will fully open. In both failure events, the two control valves assume consistent states, ensuring maximum cooling to the reactor in the event of an output signal or instrument air failure.
However, suppose we desired both of these valves fail in the closed position in the event of an output signal or instrument air failure, rather than have the cooling valve fail open while the heating valve fails closed. Clearly this would require both TV-37a and TV-37b to be fail-closed (FC), which would mean we must find some other way to sequence their operation to achieve split ranging. Examine this reconfiguration of the reactor temperature control system, using identical control valves (signal-to-open, fail-closed) for both hot and cold water supply, and a controller with exclusively-sequenced 4-20 mA output signals:
Consider the effects from the controller (TIC-37) losing power. Both 4-20 mA signals will go dead, driving both valves to their fail-safe modes: fully closed. Now consider the effects of air pressure loss to both valves. With no air pressure to operate, the actuators will spring-return to their fail-safe modes: once again both control valves fully close. In both failure events, the two control valves consistently close. The failure modes of both valves are still consistent regardless of the nature of the fault, but note how this scheme allows both valves to fail in the same mode if that is what we deem safest for the process.
As with all fail-safe system designs, we begin by choosing the proper fail-safe mode for each control valve as determined by the safety requirements of the process, not by what we would consider the simplest or easiest-to-understand instrument configurations. Only after we have chosen each valve's failure mode do we choose the other instruments' configurations. This includes split-range sequencing: where and how we sequence the valves is a decision to be made only after the valves' fail-safe states are chosen based on process safety.
