The EME44 is an Amplitude Modulated Double Sideband Television transmitter for the 70cm Amateur band. The design uses a sync stretcher and high level modulation to overcome the linearity requirements when transmitting Television signals, and produces up to 100mW, ( +20dBm ) output. The transmitter will require a Filter on the output to reduce the Double sideband AM Bandwidth. Tuning this filter to the USB of the AM signal will reduce interference to other users of the 70cm band, along with increasing the efficiency of the Power Amplifier. A Helical filter or a suitable interdigital filter, will be required for transmitting on 444.250MHz in all parts of Australia as per the current regulations to reduce the lower sideband. Please check the local Radio regulations before purchasing.
The above image shows how the components are soldered to the board. Take note how the coils are wound. Many tune up problems can be traced to the coils being incorrectly wound. Trimmer capacitors are not shown in the usual tuned positions.
Above Pictures show the SMD components including the chip capacitors. Make sure that they are soldered correctly and have not been cracked. Many faults can be traced to these not being soldered or capacitors cracked on one end.
Below images show how the two coils are wound and mounted to the board. A 3mm screwdriver can be used to align and hold the coils when soldering to the board. The bottom of the coils is 2.5mm above the top of the PC board. The Crystals case must be soldered to the top of the board with a wire link for stability.
1/ There are no current alerts for this Kit. Please see the Kit changes section below for any issues..
There are no tests recorded for this Kit.
1/ I have received information from one constructor that he was unable to make his transmitter stable and it would not produce a correct picture on a TV monitor. He had tried tuning it for many hours and I expect that many others have had the same problem. The Toko coil supplied, coil L1 should be a 0.13uH not 0.1uH and should be marked 100 114 on the can. The 0.13uH coil along with the parallel 33pF capacitor is resonant close to the 71 to 74MHz crystal frequency. The incorrect 0.1uH coil makes it resonant somewhat higher in frequency, so it cannot be tuned down to the 70MHz region. See the notes eme65doc by Kevin ZL1UCG Kit on how to determine what frequency the coil/capacitor combination is resonant. The coil may be able to be modified by removing the can and adding an extra turn to the coil, but this could be difficult for some constructors. Please email us if you have the problem and we will post a replacement coil to you.
2/ Many problems associated with this Kit are due to poor soldering or the chip capacitors not being soldered or they may have been cracked when fitted. Problems also exist with the two coils L2 and L3 not being wound correctly with the correct number of turns and spaced above the board by 2.5mm. The coils are rather critical, and if they have a turn less or more, then the two trimmer capacitors C1 and C2 associated with the tuning of the coils will not peak at the 3rd harmonic, ( 213/222MHz ) of the crystal. Refer to the Images above on how the coils should look.
3/ There have been reports of spurious signals from the output depending on the tuning of the L1 and the trimmer capacitors. First check to make sure that the crystals case is grounded to the board by soldering some wire from the crystal case to the top of the board. The other symptom of the crook crystal was nearly a 5dBm loss of output power from the transmitter. If the crystal is good then L1 should be able to be tuned in either direction and only the output power will drop, but the frequency will remain locked to the crystals frequency. Also check that the 1nF chip capacitor on the first BFR92A is soldered and not cracked. If you have not checked if you have the correct Toko coil fitted then refer to section 1 above first.
4/ Any problems with burning up of either of the 10ohm resistors could be due to a shorted trimmer capacitor C3 or C5 on the associated tuned circuit. Check the trimmer with a multimeter for intermittent shorts by adjusting it.
5/ If you have low output power and trimmer capacitor C3 or C5 won't tune, then a common problem is one of the two 220pF chip capacitors that are soldered on the bottom of the board, many not be soldered on one end, or one is cracked.
6/ Tests by Kevin ZL1UCG on the Capacitor and Coil combination used in the Butler Oscillator. eme65doc The chart has recommendations for the capacitor that should be used to resonate the tuned circuit correctly.

She was also in charge of the primary department of the Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church school when the church was completed in 1873. For more than two decades, she taught the students of the school. Anna Jarvis, her daughter, was in the class when one day, after a lesson on the "Mothers of the Bible" she closed the lesson with this short prayer: "I hope that someone, sometime will found a memorial mothers day commemorating her for the matchless service she renders to humanity in every field of life. She is entitled to it"
Anna never forgot this prayer. And at her Mothers graveside service, many years later, she recalled the prayer and said, "...by the grace of God, you shall have that Mothers Day".
In 1907, two years after her mother passed away, Miss Anna began an aggressive campaign to establish a National Mothers Day in the USA. On the second death anniversary of her mother she led a small tribute to her mother at Andrews Methodist Church and by the next year, Mother's Day was also celebrated in her own city of Philadelphia In 1911, Mother's Day was celebrated in almost every state of the Union and in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson made the official announcement proclaiming Mother's Day as a national holiday that was to be held each year on the second Sunday of May. Thus Miss Anna realised her mother's dream of honouring mothers.
The story had a sad ending though. Miss Anna were so disappointed in the manner in which people celebrated the day, especially the sending of printed greeting cards, that she and her sister Ellsinore, spent the remaining days of their lives and their family inheritance campaigning against the holiday. Both died in poverty. A quote demonstrating her disgust reads: "A printed card means nothing except that you are too lazy to write to the woman who has done more for you than anyone in the world. And candy! You take a box to Mother—and then eat most of it yourself. A pretty sentiment!"

Well, here it is 4AM and I have yet to sleep, again! So, to pass the time, I decided to write. This usually helps calm my mind and lets me finally get some sleep. I tried writing a couple poems on my other blog, but that hasn't helped me shut my eyes and turn my brain off yet, so here I am, sitting up in my lovely bed with my lap top open and typing once again.
I've decided to make a list of 25 things that bring me great joy. I think with all the negativity in this world, especially with the media always giving us more depressing news, it's important to bring in joy and kindness into our lives. So, just to jump start everyone off, here is my list of joy! Hope you get inspired to think about what brings you joy, be in big or small. Sometimes the smallest things are the best!
- Morning cup of coffee brought to me in bed. This is best when brought to me by Hubs or the Boy. Yes, at nearly nine, he makes a mean cuppa java.
- Noosa honey or pumpkin yogurt. It's the best yogurt in the world. I have to have it at least once a day. It's really that good. And the variety will knock your socks off!
- Writing on my blogs. Well duh! If I didn't love blogging, I wouldn't do it. Sometimes I don't have a clue what I'm going to write until I sit and start to actually write, but it is sheer joy to me.
- Likes and comments on my blogs. This just makes me giddy. And you should see what new followers does to me! Ask Hubs!
- Waffle Cone ice cream. It's just that good!
- Hubs. He is the best and puts up with me on a daily basis. I really don't have a clue how he does it, but I am so thankful that he does. I'm a lot to handle most days!
- My kids. Each and every day with them is a blessing. Even when they drive me crazy, they are still unique and watching them grow up is a privilege.
- Knee length black knit skirts. They just go with everything and you can wear them all year round!
- Chunky soft sweaters. What better to wrap yourself in when it's cold outside.
- Backrubs. Hubs is great at massaging those knots out of my neck and shoulders especially. And I get them all the time.
- Trips to Naples, Florida. Can we say beach? My favorite place on earth. I really want to live there. I even enjoyed their ER last visit. I liked it way more than the one at home.
- Trips to Ireland. Family time!!! Love spending time with my family there. If there is a wedding then I get to see everyone. Too bad that doesn't happen all the time. We all got married!
- Seeing all my cousins. We need to plan a reunion. I miss everyone so much. Time to talk to my big brother about that one.
- Weekends in St. Louis. More family and tons of fun things to do.
- Hockey. Especially my St. Louis Blues, baby!
- Baseball. Go St. Louis Cardinals! Love going to those games!
- Seafood. All the seafood, but especially lobster and crab. I'm not that picky. It just has to be fresh and tasty and have butter involved!
- Family dinners. I love when my dad and brother eat with the 6 of us. It just feels more complete, even though mom is no longer with us.
- My sister-friends. These are the friends I choose to call sisters because I'm lacking in the sister department and I believe God just decided to give them to me a little later in life.
- Fur babies. We have currently got a houseful and I wouldn't know what to do without all of them. Work they may be, but the love you get in return is immeasurable.
- Baby squirrels and bunnies to rescue. Although they might not always make it, I believe God places them in our hands to give them another chance at a little love and care, just in case. If anyone can save them, we can. We currently have Dexter who we have to give calcium supplements to in order to save his life and help his bones to heal. Yes, he is an approximately 10 week old squirrel.
- My faith. Without it, I'd never be able to get through all that I have been through, especially the last 6 months. They've been the roughest, toughest months of my life. God is always by my side carrying me through the toughest times.
- My dad and my brother. My dad is the smartest and most generous man I know. My brother is just like him. It's just the 3 of us now and the madness of my house.
- Sunshine. Nothing feels better than sunshine on my skin. Don't worry, I wear sunscreen, but I love the warm kiss on my face and arms.
- My garden. My place of joy. I've worked hard to make it beautiful and do something new to it each year. This year I will plant some new roses. One special one for my mom and one for my neighbor who passed away around the same time. One I will plant just for me.
So there is a list of some of my joys in life. I could go on, but that would be too wordy and I might actually be a little sleepy. Sleep well and pleasant dreams for those of you heading to bed. Good morning for those of you waking up! Whatever time of day it is in your part of the world, have a great day.

Q. Lowest Temp Pencil Cactus Can Tolerate in Chicago
What is the lowest temperature my 7-foot pencil cactus can tolerate here in Chicago?
AnnsGreeneHaus on
November 23, 2012
Euphorbia's are temperature sensative and will drop leaves and/or segments if they get too cold. I lost heat in a greenhouse last winter with temps at 10*F outside. The greenhouse temp dropped to 22 for one night. All euphorbia's dropped leaves, some perished completely, and the 2 big pencils lost a lot of segments. Any night temperature above 55*F. will be sufficient for your plant.
The plant will survive in temperatures down to 40*F., but will not grow. Any legnth of time under 40*F. on a regular basis will leave you with an unhappy camper.

Enameled wire is a copper or aluminium wire coated with […]
Enameled wire is a copper or aluminium wire coated with a very thin layer of insulation. The wire itself is most often fully annealed, electrolytically refined copper. There is a big variety of enameled wire types. The different types are described in different standards, such as IEC 60 317, NEMA MW 1000 or JIS C 3202, which sometimes still use different test methods. Different types of enameled wire are important to its applications.
Enameled wire plays an important role in our daily life and industrial electronics. It can be used in many different fields. For example, enameled wire is used in the construction of transformers, motors, generators, headphones, loudspeaker coils, hard drive head positioners, electromagnets, and other devices.
In electric motors. Magnet wire has its unique applications taking advantage of its power to create extremely powerful magnetic fields. Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical motion, which usually needs the help of the interaction of magnetic fields and current-carrying conductors. Moreover, electric motors are found in numerous diverse applications, such as fans, blowers, pumps, machines, household appliances, power tools, and disk drives. Some machines are equipped with enameled wire so that the machines can lift something large and heavy. Not all magnet wire is used to move heavy objects. For example, magnets made from this or otherwise made from copper wire may be used in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines. MRI machines use large, strong magnets to scan the inside of the human body, which allows doctors to see your soft tissues and organs.
In transformers. Enameled wire is used for certain high-frequency transformers. A transformer means a device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another through its coils. Transformer windings are normally made from copper but aluminium is a suitable competitor where weight and first cost are decisive factors. Enameled wire is used for the manufacture of transformer in the form of wire for small products and strip for larger equipment. The wire must be strong enough to be wound without breakage for small products. Good ductility is essential for the strip.

Intel delays 10nm transition, stays on 14nm for now
INTEL will build a third generation of its 14nm processors, announcing a delay in the transition to 10nm manufacturing until the second half of 2017.
Since 2007, Intel has released only two generations of processors based on each process type: the first generation generally having the same processor architecture as its predecessor, but with the manufacturing process switched to the new one, while the second generation processors would be based on the same process, but with a range of architectural improvements.
In the 14nm generation, Broadwell processors were the first generation, with the second generation Skylake processors coming later in 2015. The plan was to move on to Cannonlake, which would have similar processor architecture to the Skylake processors, but using 10nm processes.
However, citing challenging migration issues to 14nm and anticipated difficulties with 10nm, Intel will push the transition back. A third interim generation on 14nm will be released in 2016, called Kaby Lake.
This announcement could indicate rising difficulties in keeping up with Moore's Law, where transition densityA figure of merit usually expressed in Joules per cubic inch for capacitors doubles every 18-24 months. As processes get smaller and smaller, more complex manufacturing and more exostic technologies are needed.

Mrs Taylor was stationary in her car as she indicated right to turn into a side road. The car behind her was also stationary, when another motorist failed to stop and collided with the car behind, shunting it into Mrs Taylor's vehicle.
Repair documents for Mrs Taylor's vehicle showed that damage had been sustained to the rear bumper, for which Mrs Taylor was required to pay her insurance policy excess in the sum of £220.
As a result of the collision Mrs Taylor was examined by a General Practitioner who noted that she was suffering from tenderness in her chest during the examination. The GP diagnosed bruising to the chest wall, for which he estimated a recovery time of three to four months, and a sprain to the spine, which he expected to heal within four and five months of the accident. Mrs Taylor's injuries were treated with medication.
Despite accepting that the accident was their policyholders fault, the defendant did not accept that Mrs Taylor had been injured as a result.
However, Mrs Taylor was a credible individual and her account was corroborated by the medical expert and the damage documentation.
Thanks to the hard work of Irwin Mitchell's specialist Road Traffic Accidents team, the other driver's insurers did ultimately accept responsibility and paid Mrs Taylor £1300 compensation for her injuries, pain and suffering.

How the Pioneers of the MOOC Got It Wrong. In 2011, when Stanford computer scientists Sebastian Thrun and Peter Norvig came up with the bright idea of streaming their robotics lectures over the Internet, they knew it was an inventive departure from the usual college course.
For hundreds of years, professors had lectured to groups of no more than a few hundred students. But MOOCs—massive open online courses—made it possible to reach many thousands at once. Through the extraordinary reach of the Internet, learners could log on to lectures streamed to wherever they happened to be. To date, about 58 million people have signed up for a MOOC. Familiar with the technical elements required for a MOOC—video streaming, IT infrastructure, the Internet—MOOC developers put code together to send their lectures into cyberspace. These MOOC pioneers were therefore stunned when their online courses didn't perform anything like they had expected. Once thought to be a fad, MOOCs showed staying power in 2016. Dive Brief: EdSurge profiles the growth of massive online open courses in 2016, which attracted more than 58 million students in over 700 colleges and universities last year.
The top three MOOC providers — Coursera, Udacity and EdX — collectively grossed more than $100 million last year, as much of the content provided on these platforms shifted from free to paywall guarded materials. Many MOOCs have moved to offering credentialing programs or nanodegree offerings to increase their value in industrial marketplaces. Dive Insight: It is clear that MOOCs are growing as a learning and teaching resource, but colleges and universities cannot afford to be behind in developing them to fit the needs of their unique student bodies and corporate pairing objectives. The MOOC revolution that wasn't. What happened to the MOOC revolution?
Just a few short years after promising higher education for anyone with an Internet connection, MOOCs have scaled back their ambitions, content to become job training for the tech sector and for students who already have college degrees. At what was arguably the peak of the hype about massive open online courses, the New York Times crowned 2012 as "The Year of the MOOC." That was the year computer science professor Sebastian Thrun announced that, after an experiment teaching an online course that attracted 100,000 enrollees, he could no longer teach at Stanford; he was founding an online education startup, Udacity.
That same year, his colleagues in the department, Andrew Ng and Daphne Koller, founded a competing MOOC startup, Coursera. Harvard and MIT also launched their own (nonprofit) MOOC initiative, edX. Coursera Pilots Paid-Only Courses. MOOCs, Money, and the Untold Story of a Professor Who 'Bought the Hype' 5 reasons why I don't like MOOC's and probably never will - Learning VisionsLearning Visions. They have been around for a while now, MOOC's, or Massive Open Online Courses.
The idea is great, free education for the masses. Many universities now offer MOOC based courses on a large variety of topics and generally you only need to pay if you want a certificate. Mooc model creates disciplinary 'haves' and 'have-nots' The advent of massive open online courses has created a world of "haves and have-nots" in terms of disciplines that can adapt easily to the format and those that cannot, according to new research.
In his paper "The Online Future(s) of Teaching Japanese Popular Culture", Chris McMorran, senior lecturer in the department of Japanese studies at the National University of Singapore, argues that while the Mooc is "democratising education", some fields face significant obstacles in bringing courses online. Dr McMorran suggests that fields that seem perfect for Moocs, because they can make use of "exciting" visual and audio media such as clips from films and television shows as well as music videos, are hindered by having to "navigate the confusing waters of copyright". He told Times Higher Education that this could prevent some subjects expanding their popularity and, in some cases, impede academics' career progression.
Course completion is wrong measure. In a fascinating survey taken at the start of the University of Derby's 'Dementia' MOOC, using Canvas, where 775 learners were asked whether they expected to fully engage with the course, 477 said yes but 258 stated that they did NOT INTEND TO COMPLETE.
This showed that people come to MOOCs with different intentions. Report: MOOC Instructors Need More Support. MOOCs.
Researchers still grapple with measuring quality in for-credit MOOCs. Dive Brief: Two researchers have recently published a paper analyzing how massive open online courses stack up in the Quality Matters rubric, which was designed for traditional online courses, finding all of the MOOCs studied — two each from Coursera, edX, and Udacity — failed to meet the minimum standard for quality.
According to eCampus News, none of the courses performed well on Standard 7: Learner Support, which may not be a surprise as this standard speaks to acknowledgement of student support services, accessibility services, and course-level objectives that make more sense for credit-bearing courses, and MOOCs are only now starting to be offered for credit. Researchers expect colleges that want to offer MOOCs for credit can add learner support elements to the courses and meet the Quality Matters bar, but they urge institutions to consider where MOOCs differ from other online courses more broadly as they grapple with the question of credit.
Dive Insight: Recommended Reading. Education Week. Thousands of 'fake' students at UK's new higher education colleges. Thousands of students enrolled with a new breed of private higher education colleges are not registered to take recognised exams, the government's spending watchdog revealed on Tuesday, raising fears that huge numbers of undergraduates have been benefiting from taxpayer subsidy without undertaking meaningful study.
The National Audit Office also warned that the dropout rate among students at nine of the "alternative higher education providers" set up following reforms introduced by the former higher education minister David Willetts in 2012 was in excess of 20%. That is five times the dropout rate seen in traditional universities, with which the new colleges were designed to compete.
The NAO warns that the private institutions, which can charge students £6,000 a year in fees, have not been properly monitored and pointed out that students attending them were eligible for cheap loans and in some cases grants. How B.F. Skinner Will Save Online Education. The Real Revolution in Online Education Isn't MOOCs. By Michelle Weise | 10:00 AM October 17, 2014 Data is confirming what we already know: recruiting is an imprecise activity, and degrees don't communicate much about a candidate's potential and fit.
Employers need to know what a student knows and can do. Something is clearly wrong when only 11% of business leaders — compared to 96% of chief academic officers — believe that graduates have the requisite skills for the workforce. It's therefore unlikely that business leaders are following closely what's going on in higher education. The Online Education Revolution Drifts Off Course. Hide captionStudents at the Oakland Military Institute took several courses offered by San Jose State and the online course provider Udacity this year. The university is now scaling back its relationship with Udacity. Laura A. Oda/MCT/Landov Students at the Oakland Military Institute took several courses offered by San Jose State and the online course provider Udacity this year. The Audacity: Thrun Learns A Lesson and Students Pay.
Sebastian Thrun, founder of Udacity, one of the most high-profile private sector attempts to "disrupt" higher education discovered inequality this week. Thrun has spent the last three years dangling the shiny bauble of his elite academic pedigree and messianic vision of the future of higher education before investors and politicos.
He promised nothing short of radically transforming higher education for the future by delivering taped classroom lessons of elite professors through massive open online courses.So what went wrong? After low performance rates, low student satisfaction and faculty revolt, Thrun announced this week that he has given up on MOOCs as a vision for higher education disruption. Mooc creators criticise courses' lack of creativity. Original vision lost in scramble for profit and repackaging of old ideas, say pair Source: Stephen Downes Look what they've done to my Mooc: 'as deployed by commercial providers they resemble television shows or digital textbooks with – at best – an online quiz component,' argues Stephen Downes When The New York Times declared 2012 the "Year of the Mooc", you would have been forgiven for thinking that the term – which stands for "massive open online course" – had been coined some time that year.
Remaking education in the image of our desires. The current generation of students will witness the remaking of our education system. Change is happening on many fronts: economic, technological, paradigmatic, social, and the natural cycles of change that occur in complex social/technical systems. People have attempted to define change principles: Christensen's disruptive innovation, Schumpeter's creative destruction, Kuhn's revolution structures, Paul A. David's model of long systemic change, and (my personal favorite) Carlota Perez' techno-economic revolutions. Each of these are a different lens for viewing big, dramatic, change. Education faces enormous pressure. The internet has already transformed music, news, entertainment, and business. MOOCs, Hype, and the Precarious State of Higher Ed: Futurist Bryan Alexander. Does it continue to make sense to go to college when the sticker price of a college education is soaring, the amount of debt college students are taking on – even for the non-elite universities and what were formerly affordable public universities – is severely constraining their choices post-graduation, and job prospects for new graduates are dismal?
A year ago, I talked with Anya Kamenetz, who delved into these issues in her book, DIY U. Since then, the ballyhooed arrival of free MOOCs into this frightening intersection of economic, intellectual, and social forces has ignited debate about the future of universities. The Reedie in me asks: What is the place of liberal arts ideals in an atmosphere like this? Liberal arts education is not just about the transfer of cultural knowledge; the liberal arts are often said to be about learning how to learn and how to participate in public discourse vital to the growth of knowledge and health of democracies.

She said, "We'll find you a nice boy."
I laughed in response.
What makes her think I want a nice boy?
Maybe I would prefer a lady for that matter?
Or anyone at all?
A woman on her own with a small child is a prime candidate for everyone's bachelor friend, I suppose.
She told me I needed to come over and meet the handyman on her patio.
He was cute and single.
I hung up the phone.
Everyone seems to have the "perfect guy" for me but I don't have time for that.
There are reasons people are single.
Maybe I have my own.
Maybe I like being on my own.
They all have someone for me, someone very nice and responsible,
but maybe I am just not ready for a nice boy.
Maybe I am having too much fun with the bad ones.

At the end of the day, I'm just a girl who has been in love with writing her entire life. I am full of quirks, anxieties, fears, joys, laughter. And all I have wanted to do was give the world a smile.

This display spotlights one of the four petition boxes that Leah Bell, Waimarama Anderson, Rhiannon Magee, and Tai Te Ariki Jones presented at Parliament, calling for national day of commemoration for the New Zealand Wars.
The students were motivated by educating all New Zealanders about these wars. Leah Bell says, 'Our nation will have peace and the peace will come because we all know the story.'
The students collected more than 12,000 signatures from all over the country. Their commitment demonstrates how local communities can bring about powerful change.
In this piece, Leah Bell and Waimarama Anderson, reflect on that journey and the impact of the petition they took to Parliament.

Reviews for the MSI GS63VR Stealth Pro-078
Source: Toptenreviews
It seems that isn't the case—so, why should you pay over more for a Max-Q GTX 1070 than a regular GTX 1060-powered laptop? We already talked about size and weight. The other key factor is noise. Every GTX 1060-powered laptop we've tested sounds like a jet taking off as soon as the fans spin up. Not here—the GS63VR Stealth Pro lives up to its name. You just won't hear this jet coming. -bo moore.

CommentNVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (Laptop): Pascal based high-end mobile graphics card based on a cut down GP104 (like the GTX 1080) and GDDR5 graphics memory. Successor to the GTX 980M with a 10 Watts higher TDP. Similar to the desktop GTX 1070 performance wise, but with more shaders and lower clock speeds.
These graphics cards are able to play the latest and most demanding games in high resolutions and full detail settings with enabled Anti-Aliasing.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.
7700HQ: Quad-core notebook processor based on the Kaby Lake architecture. Besides four CPU cores (including Hyper Threading), the chips also integrates the HD Graphics 630 GPU and is manufactured in an improved 14 nm process.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

MSI: Micro-Star International (MSI), is a Taiwan based computer hardware manufacturer since 1986 best known for desktop computer motherboards. MSI also designs and manufactures graphics cards, barebone PCs, notebook computers, networking products, servers, multimedia, consumer electronics, and storage devices. MSI, as most Taiwanese computer manufacturers, sells products on OEM/ODM basis. It also sells products worldwide based on its own brand name "MSI". The market share of laptops with the MSI brand is rather low.
MSI is not present in the smartphone market. As a laptop manufacturer, MSI has a medium market share and is not among the Top 10 global manufacturers. The ratings of MSI laptops are above average in the tests (as of 2016).

There are many different problems that an ageing population creates for society. There are many reasons why there is an increase in the ageing population, as Item B states "In common with many western societies, the United Kingdom has an ageing population. Rising life expectancy and a relatively low birth rate have meant that the average age of the population is rising". Also the decline in fertility has led to an increased amount of people who are over the age of 65 and this poses many different issues within society.
First of all, older people consume a larger proportion of public services. For example, they require more health and social …show more content…
The fact that there is a change in policy implication also is another reason why many see the population as a problem. Hirsch believes that the m ain problem created by an ageing population is how to finance a longer period of old age. There are two main things that can help this. Either paying more from savings and taxes whilst working or continuing to work for a longer period time, however, a combination of both would help more. He therefore argues that we need to refuse any current trend towards earlier retirements. To do this he says that we need to redistribute educational sources to elderly people in order to improve their skills and retain them. There may also be a need to change housing policies in order to encourage older people to 'downsize' to a smaller house when they live in a larger one than they need (especially if they are living alone). This would help to release wealth, improve their standard of living and free up housing resources for younger people.
In conclusion, the ageing population does cause many different problems for

With the Plasma, Sachs threw everything into their attempt to break into the US market. It was fiendishly high-tech, with a wacky cable routing, hollow aluminium hanger bolt, extensive use of composites, astoundingly light weight and plentiful stainless steel fittings - all very classy. The adjustment screws could even be turned with an allen key.
All of this has much in common with the SRAM ESP 9.0SL, and I often wondered if SRAM and Sachs worked together, even before SRAM bought Sachs' bicycle parts business (also in 1997).
Like the ESP 9.0SL, I always had the feeling that the plastic Plasma might explode at any moment - but I have no evidence that they actually did so.
This example has its aluminium parts badly painted with white enamel. Mystifyingly, I have seen this on a number of examples - was it a fashion amongst Plasma owners to deface them in this way?

Bitterwasser Lodge
Accommodation and flying centre
South of Uhlenhorst, on the C15, about 59km from the B1, is a specialist lodge that caters for glider pilots up to world-class level. This is not a school for gliding - it is a place for those who already know how to glide. A number of world records have been achieved at Bitterwasser, and each one has been marked with a king palm. In addition to this, a new palm tree is planted for every flight over 1000km. There's an avenue of palm trees lining the way to the airfield, where each palm was planted to commemorate a record. Every year, the avenue grows.
Bitterwasser Lodge is the ideal place for those interested in gliding, especially if you can bring your own glider. The fantastic thermals of the Kalahari desert provide the opportunity for not only incredibly fast, but also exceptionally long glider flights. The large 3km diameter Bitterwasser salt pan, provides the runway system and is the perfect airfield to initiate glider flights.
The Bitterwasser farm area consists of a total of 5,500ha of land including a game park. There is a wonderful variety of Namibian flora and fauna, and a garden with beautiful old trees, all in a peaceful and relaxing environment.
The previous farm infrastructure has been replaced by a new modern Lodge. There is a main building with restaurant, lounge, curio shop and a 'computer corner'.
The luxurious pool is located in the shady garden. Comfortable chairs, canvas beds and towels are provided, and drinks or snacks can be ordered here.
The restaurant team of Bitterwasser Lodge and Flying Centre pride themselves on their Namibian and International cuisine. It has a terrace and is right in the middle of the resort, the perfect meeting place for pilots and guests alike.
Accommodation at Bitterwasser Lodge and Flying Centre is in either one of 22 air-conditioned bungalows, or a country house located in the dunes. They all have en-suite facilities and 24hr electricity supply. Some have air conditioning and CD-radios. The 13 rondavels (African style huts), are more basic, with simple furniture and a central ablution block.
Gliding is not the only activity at Bitterwasser Lodge and Flying Centre. There are flights with gliders and motorized gliders, round trips with Ultralight and motor planes, biking trails, walks, game drives, and of course spectacular sundowner walks or drives.

We love hearing your experiences of AllActive courses and classes. If you would like to share your story please get in touch.
"We've now booked 4 online courses for our instructors and are planning to book 2 more in the new year. Our instructors have found the course very informative, easily accessible and particularly enjoy the exam format. As a student-run social enterprise, we have found the staff very helpful and the course great value for money, we would definitely recommend!"
"The group thoroughly enjoyed the new learning and some have already started to take a class. We have decided as a group to get back together in a month or so to share our experiences and support each other and keep our learning fresh. Jeanette was very approachable and I found it really easy to organise things through her. Gill was great as an instructor and I have had positive feedback from the group on the day."
"We tried SRPA in our main building where dementia levels are not that advanced. We noticed good coordination and reaction time and managed to incorporate ball throwing. They derived plenty of fun and enjoyment from this."
"The most amazing thing about the SRPA sessions is that they generate lots of smiles and laughs. Not only that our residents love getting active as they clearly understand the benefits of it, but they enjoy so much being part of a group of people with same interests. I do it at least twice a week with music running in the background- it's become everyone's favourite activity!
I want to mention that the quality of teaching exceeded my expectations and I hope David and Gill will get to make a real difference for as many care settings as possible by inspiring carers and activity coordinators with their enthusiasm and kindness."
"The SRPA course was very fun and the trainers were great! I found the course very informative."
"I find myself doing some of the exercises we learn in our Chair-based Exercise class on the bus! I try not to make it too obvious in case people think I' m a bit of a crazy person. It's exercises that I wouldn't even think of on my own, they really help my ankles".
"I became desperate to move and as I was becoming more and more arthritic I was struggling. Since I've been going to Chair-based exercise classes I can stand without having to heave myself as much as I feel stronger".
"There was an exercise where we squeezed a ball and I just thought how brilliant it would have been if I'd been told to do that when I broke my thumb and my wrist. My friend is doing exercises with her hands because she had burns but nobody suggested it to me. Anyone with arthritis should definitely be doing it".
"I was really, really impressed with the range of activities just by using different sized balls and beanbags and so on. My sister was housebound in France for quite a number of years and if she'd been able to go to a group like that it would have been fantastic. The social impact too, it would have got her interacting with people".
"As we age it can be extremely difficult to find motivation to keep fit. Seated games that involve exercise are great fun and always involves laughter. Even if you are a bit shy you soon make friends with everyone in the group. If you can't move around freely chair-based exercise is perfect".
"I enjoy exercise and it is part of my life. If I couldn't get outside or on my bike I'd feel really terrible. It's a way for me to relax and cut myself off from everything."

A month ago I wrote a review of Thomas Leo Ogren's The Allergy-Fighting Garden for The Gardening Products Review. Editor Monica Hemingway just informed me that she published my book review, check out http://www.gardeningproductsreview.com. I had read his books before and his system of rating plants based on their ability to produce pollen. I was especially interested as I have family members with severe reactions to pollen, to the point that spring time pollen triggers asthma. Right now everything here in Northern Virginia is coated with the yellow dust, irritating people's eyes and making them congested. Ogren's The Allergy-Fighting Garden is a must read for folks suffering from allergies and asthma who would like to re-design their property to reduce the amount of pollen.

Thanks to our friends over at PavedWave.org for posting this interview with Bustin's own Jeff Vyain, winner of the Adrenalina $10,000 Push Race in Miami. Check out the article below and make sure to follow PavedWave.org for all the latest on distance skating.
The first ever Adrenalina Skateboard Marathon took place this past weekend in Hallandale Beach, Florida, and the grand prize of $10,000 was awarded to me for coming in first with a time of 1 hour, 40 minutes, and 58 seconds. This set a new "World Record" for the skateboard marathon. I put that in quotes because I'm not convinced yet. Maybe that's just a result of me not believing I'm that good. I still fall once every few days, I still battle with injury too often, and I sort of feel like not everyone came fully prepared for this marathon. I know I have better in me, and I also know there is better in others out there. Paul Kent, Matt Elver, Theseus Williams, and John Doe…I'm talking to you 🙂
To me, this is just the beginning. I have been an athlete all my life and ran competitively through college. Plagued by consistent overuse injuries, I quit running my last year and found a similar outlet in longboarding. I loved it because it still allowed me to push myself beyond my perceived limits, and I found it gave me more of an adrenaline rush than running ever had. I enjoy skating fast, and I love pushing my body at the same time. Pushing and pumping a longboard has become second nature to me, and now that I'm living in NYC, I have been able to turn it into more of a lifestyle, using it both as a source of everyday fun and as transportation.
In NYC, we skate hard. We keep up with traffic. And with a community this size filled with a bunch of aggressive dudes trying to make it in the big city, we also race. Adrenalina was the first opportunity to skate competitively on a platform this size, and I feel lucky to be on the forefront of such an awesome extension of this sport.
I am still working out how I feel about all this. As an employee at the Longboard Loft aka Bustin Boards Headquarters, I've been involved in Bustin's "push culture" phenomenon. Mike Dallas, partial owner of the company I work for, coined that phrase in a conversation when asked about what it was about Bustin that differentiated itself from its competitors. Since we put "push culture" on media, stickers and the like, we've caught some flack from our very own longboarding community over the term, mostly concerns that it's too mainstream. Longboarding has traditionally been a fringe sport, and I have a feeling some of the dudes out there who've been doing it for a long time still wish they could be the only ones. Everybody wants to feel special, and I'm no different. What I think some of those sliders, downhillers, and generally badass shredder dudes are forgetting is that it's actually fun to ride a longboard, just about any way you slice it, and that's really all this is about. Different strokes for different folks.
I've spent some time trying to skate really fast down hills, and I've spent some time learning to slide and even got pretty good at standups, but most of those things, I need to limit to some degree, because I am constantly hurting myself doing them! So instead, usually, I push and pump my board around NYC somewhere between 10 and 20 miles per hour, and that has done a really good job so far of keeping a smile on my face.
JP- What were your goals or expectations going into this race?
I wanted to be in the money, but I really didn't know what to expect from everyone, and I didn't feel like I was in as good of shape as I would've liked to have been, so I would say that I had the goal of making the podium but really no expectations.
JP- What kind of training did you do? Anything other than skateboarding?
Basically, my training consists of skating to and from work and then just using my skateboard for just about every other commute I make, and then, when I'm lucky, I go on group skates with my boys in NYC. There's always someone to skate with. I just don't necessarily always have the time to be out there. I tend to stay up pretty late, but when I do get some sleep, sometimes you can find me pushing and pumping up and down the West Side Highway bike path.
I haven't been doing much besides skateboarding, but I do enjoy yoga when I get the chance. I should definitely do it more, but I have been lax with it since I broke my shoulder this summer. For a long time, there, I couldn't put any weight on it so that really restricted me. I definitely plan on getting back into it now that I'm starting to feel healthy again, and now that there's a pretty awesome outlet for me to continue traveling and doing this, I should probably step my game up and do some other cross-training. I've got some running exercises I'll probably get back into. Still, I feel like skating fast all the time is the best way to skate fast in a race.
JP- Do you change the way you eat/drink before something like this?
I really didn't change a thing. I don't eat a ton of meat, but I do sometimes, so I ate some meat on Thursday before the race and then I think I mostly abstained on Friday, but I really didn't think about it much. I definitely will hydrate more before the race next time. I skated quite a bit on Friday between getting over to the race site from our hostel, skating the course, and then skating back, and that left me a little dehydrated. I tried to make up for it early in the morning, but definitely didn't get enough, as I was battling cramps in the middle of the race. I took all day Thursday off driving from NYC to FL. I don't know how all that affected me. I'll have to experiment more as I continue to race.
JP- Yeah, I saw you road tripped from NYC with a pretty big crew– what was the energy like, and how did you guys all meet up? That must have been a blast.
I was in a mini van with 5 other New Yorkers that left at 2am on Thursday morning and arrived at about 1am on Friday morning. Andrei Hippix, Victor Epifaneo, Maribeth McHugh, Kiefer Dixon, me, and Luke Ayata, who was there videotaping for Push Culture News. The full size work van we planned on taking had overheating troubles and we ended up having to rent at the very last minute, so we got a pretty late start. Spirits were very high, even while we were standing around trying to line up another ride, and everybody was excited for the race. Luke and I split the driving, as the eldest (and wisest) skaters in the van.We pretty much drove straight there and only stopped to stretch our legs and switch drivers, because we wanted to get there and be able to check out the course and get ample rest before the race.
There were so many good moments the entire trip. It'd have to be another article, but a highlight was definitely stopping in an IHOP in Hollywood, FL, and having this guy make us a Bustin symbol out of Balloons. And the skate stop we made in Maribeth's hometown in Pennsylvania. Kiefer took a really funny spill, and Luke almost died and I was just glad we all came out of it alive. People do stupid things when they've been cooped up in a van for 20 hours.
JP- Many skaters seem surprised about your winning this on a top-mount skateboard. Are you confident this is the right setup, or do you think you'll get a faster time on a lower board in a future event?
No, I'm not 100% sure at all. I am completely open to change, but over 26 miles, I knew it was going to be important that I have a good time, so I chose to go with the LDP because I have the most fun on it. I hadn't noticed that I was feeling any faster or slower on a taller or lower board. I seem to have more top speed on the lower decks, but I'm not sure that I get any more or less tired over time. It really feels nice to get down low and stretch out the kick on the tall board, and it doesn't hurt to be able to resort to pumping when my heart rate is jumping or when I just want to put a smile on my face.
JP- What was the course like? Were there any sketchy moments with other racers or the terrain itself?
The course was really nice and smooth in some parts and a little rocky in others. For the most part, pretty decent road conditions, but the small loop had some obstacles with some puddles and dirt/dust, and there were quite a few turns and some killer wind toward the end of the race. It didn't feel like a slow course, but it didn't feel like it was the course for me to skate the fastest marathon that will ever be skated. I definitely have faster in me in the future.
I came off my board once in the beginning. I didn't start on the front line, so I was forced to fiddle with a bit of the craziness at the start. It was a lot of fun. A guy came off his board nearby me and it ended up locking up wheels with mine. I jumped off my board and as I was running it off I saw my board was rolling next to me, so I jumped back on and kept going. Hardly lost a step! Other than that, I had a few moments when I somewhat lost my balance, especially later on as I was fatiguing, but I always recovered from the little mistakes. I also was battling some serious calf cramping for a couple laps, but I was able to stretch it and then relieve that leg by pushing with the other. Luckily, there were a lot of fluids on the course to help me get through that.
JP- How did you feel mentally and physically, at the finish?
Mentally, I think I was a little mixed up! I was pretty in-the-zone for such a long time, and then I realized I was about to win 10 grand in a longboard race, and I had to sort of tell myself that yes, this was actually happening and try to just keep my cool and stay on the board until the race was over. I was definitely a bit overwhelmed there for a minute.
Physically, I was feeling pretty strong. I was definitely fatigued. My muscles were breaking down but I sort of hit this plateau where I could keep a solid pace and not feel like I was going into oxygen debt, so as long as I had calories to burn, I felt like I could probably keep going. That last lap, especially, got the adrenalina pumping, and I felt like I could sprint if I wanted to, but I had a pretty substantial lead and I figured it'd be way easier and way more awesome to just go fast and controlled and then pump my way toward the finish and show everybody what was up.
JP- What are you going to do with all your winnings? Will it corrupt you like a child actor?
I don't think they're going to last long. Turns out the tax man wants quite a bit of it. Then my plan for quite a few years now has been that if I ever lucked into a substantial lump sum of money, I'd spend it on Lasik surgery. I want to be able to travel, camp, open my eyes under water–all that good stuff–without worrying about contacts or glasses. My eyes are crap.
After that, I was hoping to be able to give my Dad some money I owe him for taking care of some college bills. For a minute there, Sallie Mae didn't like me, and he helped me get her off my back. I will have to win a couple more races to fully take care of that, but hey, if all I gotta do is win a couple skateboard races to pay off my college, this life is pretty awesome.
JP- Well that sounds responsible! I understand you work in the skateboard industry as well, is that a part time job?
I am officially working full-time now as the manager of the Bustin Boards storefront, Longboard Loft, in Williamsburg, BK. My man Paul still takes it upon himself to tell me what to do a lot of the time, but I do get the responsibility of telling management all the product we need in the store, and they do a pretty awesome job of taking my word for it, so I'm basically a kid in a candy shop.
I have a position in the shop with the privilege of being allowed to be completely objective, so I get to see all this product that other awesome board companies are making and then tell management what we need to do to make our product better. We're in the process of releasing the Maestro Mini right now, and I've got to tell you, it passes my test for everything I would use it for. It's a super fast, super light deck with just enough footspace to pass the board around between feet and have complete turning control on one leg from the front or back of the board. It's everything I would want in a push deck for now, though I'm looking forward to the day when we can mass produce some carbon fiber/fiberglass models to make them even lighter.
So yea, life at the Bustin shop is absolutely awesome. All the stuff I've learned at Pavedwave is not going to waste. Nothing makes me happier than to have someone ask me for help with bushings. You should see the look on people's faces when they come back and can't believe how much sweeter their board rides for under 20 bucks. Most skaters don't know much about how to tweak their setups, and between the readership we have developed on the Bustin Blog and my interactions with local and visiting skaters at the shop, I get to help a lot of people, and that gives me a lot of satisfaction.
I'll sign off by saying:
I just want to Thank you James, Adrenalina, and everybody that helped to make this a possibility for me. I never thought I would have this kind of opportunity. I feel so lucky to be at the start of such an awesome evolution in our sport! I really hope it continues. If dudes are out there racing bikes, cars, and even on their own two feet, they might as well be having a lot more fun and doing it on a longboard.
…and there you have it.
I interviewed Jeff a few days after the Adrenalina Skateboard Marathon, while he was still taking in the fact he'd just mopped up on the World's first ever fully sanctioned marathon event for skateboarding, putting himself firmly in the history books as the fastest guy on the planet.
The course had been carefully mapped out well in advance and double-GPS'd by myself, and a well established chip-based timing system was used for all racers, so Jeff's record is definitely solid enough to withstand the rigors of something like the "Guinness World Record" books. There were 125 skaters racing and a huge crowd out there witnessing all the action that day. The focus seemed to be not on breaking records, but on raw street skateboarding and having one hell of a great time. Huge success on all accounts.
Thanks Jeff for sharing the stoke and giving us a view from the head of the pack!
