Rectification in the politics and legal affairs system; Xi and Putin talk; TikTok; Wang Wei 王維
Something is going in the politics and legal affairs system. Things have seemed especially weird recently, and now there is going to be a pilot program to educate and rectify the cadres of political and legal affairs system. Chen Yixin, Secretary General of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission, announced the new campaign in a meeting of the National Political and Legal Affairs Team Education and Rectification Pilot Office, of which Chen is the head.
The language in the announcement of the campaign is quite harsh, and its reference to the Yan'an Rectification Movement is chilling. The original Yan'an Rectification Movement was brutal and bloody, with thousands killed. As harsh as today's language sounds I do not think it will be anything like that; it looks like it will be one more purge of the people inside the politics and legal affairs system who are not totally loyal to Xi.
There have long been rumors that Meng Jianzhu, secretary of the Central Politics and Legal Affairs Commission and a Politburo member from 2012-17, was going to be put under investigation, and the recent detentions of officials close to him has only given fuel to those rumors. This new campaign, and the language used in announcing it, make it sound like someone big is about to take the fall, though as with anything related to CCP elite politics we won't know anything until they tell us and even then we will likely not know what really happened.
It is interesting that after almost eight years in power Xi appears to believe he does not yet have full control of the politics and legal affairs system. This new rectification program looks like an attempt to rectify that before the 20th Party Congress.
Chen Yixin is from Zhejiang and has worked with Xi Jinping for many years, and Xi sent him to Wuhan at the height of the outbreak to get things under control. He is likely to have a big promotion by the 2022 20th Party Congress.
Never underestimate how brutal the CCP system can be to its own members.
In happier news, the Gaokao is done and the kids are ecstatic, as this wonderful picture from Weibo of the students leaving a test center shows:

The Essential Eight
1. Rectification campaign for Political and Legal Affairs cadres
The Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission held a meeting on Wednesday to prepare for a new pilot program to "educate and rectify the cadres of political and legal affairs" system across the country. Chen Yixin, secretary general of the commission, said in the meeting that the program will be similar to the Yan'an rectification movement, and it will be as harsh as "scraping the poison off the bone". The goal is to "completely cut out the cancer and clear out the black sheep". The first pilot program will be carried out in Harbin, Xuzhou, Lingbao, Yibin, Baoji, and this will touch upon judges, prosecutors, police, and state security officials.

Chen Yixin, secretary-general of the Central Political and Legal Affairs Commission and director of the National Political and Legal Affairs Team Education and Rectification Pilot Office, emphasized that the education and rectification pilot is an urgent and important political task. It must be boldly explored and practiced, and dare to be hard-working and carry out a "scrape the bone to remove the poison-style" self-revolution in the national political and legal system, a "a drain away the mud and bring in fresh water"-style "Yan'an rectification", and soul-stirring Yangwei-style [铸魂扬威式 not sure how to translate, think it is about the Yangwei ironclad ship in the late Qing] themed education, and strive to build a political and legal iron army that the party and people can trust, rely upon, and can rest assured about.
The education and rectification of the political and legal teams is a "scrape the bone to remove the poison-style" self-revolution in the new era of the political and legal front. The political and legal ranks are an important force for defending the party's leadership and the state power of the people's democratic dictatorship. Political and legal teams are the instruments of law enforcement and justice. The teams are impure, unfair, weak, and even have violations of law and discipline, and have seriously damaged the image of the party and the government and trampled upon the bottom line of social fairness and justice. In recent years, the political and legal system has been stepping up efforts to eliminate black sheep, but the situation is still grim. Since the beginning of the special anti-crime campaign, a number of political and legal police officers involved in crime and corruption have been investigated and dealt with throughout the country. This shows that comprehensively and strictly governing the party is "always on the road"[永远在路上 a favorite saying of Xi from the corruption crackdown], and that comprehensively and strictly governing the police cannot be relaxed at the moment. To this end, education and rectification should be carried out in the political and legal system, and a "scrape the bone to remove the poison-style" self-revolution should be carried out. Insist on pointing the blade inward, completely remove the cancerous tumor, remove the evil members of the group, and ensure that the political and legal team is absolutely loyal, absolutely pure, and absolutely reliable.
Comment: That is some starkly dark language.

Hong Kong national security law: new head of Beijing office in city vows agents will not trample on people's rights | South China Morning Post
Beijing on Wednesday inaugurated its new national security office staffed by more than 200 people in Hong Kong, with its director pledging his agents would not infringe on residents' rights amid concerns about the extent and implications of their sweeping powers.
Zheng Yanxiong, known for his tough style, tried to strike a reassuring note at the opening of the temporary headquarters in Causeway Bay for the Office for Safeguarding National Security, saying the controversial law tailor-made for the city had been enacted "for the well-being of the people"...
Zheng was flanked by his deputies, Li Jiangzhou and Sun Qingye, Beijing's liaison office director Luo Huining and Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor at the flag-raising ceremony outside the office at the Metropark Hotel – now converted to bear a national emblem – along with other local officials and pro-establishment heavyweights.
Beijing Youth Daily said the first person on the left is Sun Qingye, one of the deputy heads of the new office. There is no other picture or CV of him on internet. Sun is probably from the ministry of state security. The man second from the right is Li Jiangzhou, the other deputy who is from ministry of public security.

"While people who love China and [Hong Kong] are welcoming the establishment of the office, those with ulterior motives and who are anti-China and seek to destabilize Hong Kong have not only stigmatized the office, but also smeared the legal system and rule of law in the Chinese mainland in an attempt to stir up unnecessary worries and fears among the Hong Kong residents," Luo [Huining] said. "The Chinese mainland has a healthy legal system and a sound environment for the rule of law."

"China won't take any chances anymore with national security, and Chris Tang is someone they trust," a senior police source, who deals regularly with Tang, told Reuters ahead of the new law being imposed.
Along with Tang, Secretary for Security John Lee and Secretary for Justice Teresa Cheng have emerged as key local players in Beijing's imposition of a harsher law-and-order regimen in Hong Kong. The three joined Lam when she visited the Chinese capital last month to discuss the security law with China's leaders.

In addition, looking at the incidents in the past year, the forming of human chains inside and outside schools have inevitably caused a nuisance to others. Problems such as noise nuisance have caused the resentment of residents in the neighbourhood and in some cases have even led to incidents such as confrontations, injuries to persons and throwing objects from height. To protect the personal safety and well-being of students, both the EDB and schools have the responsibility to stop students from forming human chains.

Collecting DNA samples from people arrested for violating security law in HK 'normal practice' - Global Times
Lawrence Ma, a barrister and chairman of the Hong Kong Legal Exchange Foundation, told the Global Times that collecting fingerprints is no longer an effective way of detecting crime because criminals knows how to wear gloves to commit a crime.
"Many of the black-clad rioters in anti-extradition bill riots wore gloves and face masks to disguise their identity. It is imperative for law enforcement agencies to fully collect other biological samples such as body tissues and blood samples to identify the particular suspect, and to prove their identity to correctly charge them to stand before a court of law," Ma said.
3. Xi and Putin have another chat
China, Russia vow firm mutual support - Xinhua
Chinese President Xi Jinping and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, held a phone conversation on Wednesday...
Recently, Russia smoothly carried out a referendum and passed a set of constitutional amendments with a large majority vote, Xi said, adding that it has fully reflected the Russian people's support for the Russian government and approval of its governance philosophy.
China will, as always, firmly support Russia's development path that fits its own national conditions and staunchly support Russia in accelerating its development and revitalization, he said.
Noting that the international situation is changing rapidly, Xi stressed that it is very necessary for China and Russia, as comprehensive strategic partners of coordination, to strengthen strategic communication and cooperation.
The Chinese side, he added, is willing to continue working with the Russian side in firmly supporting each other, rejecting external sabotage and intervention, well preserving their respective sovereignty, security and development rights, and well safeguarding their shared interests...
China, Xi said, stands ready to work with Russia to continuously intensify coordination within the United Nations and other multilateral frameworks, safeguard multilateralism, oppose hegemonism and unilateralism, defend international fairness and justice, and make greater contributions to improving global governance and promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind...
Russia-China relations are at their best in history, Putin said, stressing that Russia firmly supports China's efforts to safeguard national security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, opposes all kinds of provocative actions that violate China's sovereignty, and believes China is fully capable of ensuring long-term prosperity and stability in Hong Kong.

This was the fourth telephone conversation between Xi and Putin this year.
Expressing support for each other on international and domestic matters is a symbol of China-Russia high-level mutual trust and strategic cooperation, Yang Jin, an associate research fellow at the Institute of Russian, Eastern European and Central Asian Studies under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the Global Times on Wednesday.
"China's national security legislation for Hong Kong and the Russian Constitution amendment are the significant domestic events for the two countries. These two events have reflected the real will of the people, and went through the legitimate and democratic processes of the two countries, but both received groundless and irresponsible criticism from the West," Yang said
4. US-China
Interesting comments by Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng, who may one day replace Wang Yi as Foreign Minister. It sounds like he was on his best behavior for this talk, I have heard from others who have met with him in Beijing that he is not always so polite about the US.
The Trend Toward China-US Cooperation is Unstoppable - MoFa
Remarks by Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng at the Video Dialogue on Sino-US Relations Co-hosted by the Chinese People's Institute of Foreign Affairs And the Asia Society
Recently, I have attended quite a number of seminars, all of which have China-US relations as a fixture topic. In the face of the once-in-a-century changes, a pandemic never seen before, and constantly emerging new threats and challenges, the world is looking to China and the United States to provide answers to these crises through close cooperation and active interaction. But in reality, the US is getting more and more obsessed with "strategic competition", "decoupling" and a "new cold war" with China, worsening the whole situation even further...
Le's key points:
1. While China-US relations cannot return to its past, its achievements in the old days should not be dismissed...
All things considered, it couldn't be farther away from facts to negate the merits of China-US relations in the past four decades, and say the "engagement policy" has failed, and that the US has been ripped off.
2. Competition between China and the US shouldn't be a "zero-sum game". It is dangerous for the US to leverage so-called "proportional costs" to attack China...
3. The real enemy of the US is not China. It is the invisible virus and growing non-traditional security threats...
4. Decoupling is impractical and benefits no one...
5. Neither China nor the US can mold the other in one's own image, and China-US relations should not be driven by ideologies...
6. Forming an anti-China bloc is to divide the global village. It runs completely counter to the trend of the times...
7. It is important to have correct perceptions of the international role of China...
8. China and the US must manage differences through dialogue and cooperation, and seek to accommodate each other's core interests and concerns...
Issues related to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Xinjiang and Tibet touch on China's sovereignty and security. There is no room for foreign interference on those issues. We firmly oppose the groundless US accusations and so-called sanctions against China for our legislation safeguarding national security in Hong Kong...
I am optimistic about the future of China-US relations. Although the relationship is overcast by dark clouds, the sky will not fall, and the sun will eventually shine again. Likewise, nothing can stop the general trend of China-US cooperation forever.
Le's speech - 中美走向合作的大势是挡不住的 — 中华人民共和国外交部
Secretary Michael R. Pompeo At a Press Availability - United States Department of State
We were deeply troubled to learn this week that the CCP detained Xu Zhangrun for criticizing General Secretary Xi Jinping's repressive regime and the CCP's mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic. He should be released. He was simply telling the truth. He should be released as soon as possible.
I'll repeat a theme I've been talking about for months: The CCP has an enormous credibility problem. They failed to tell the world the truth about this virus, and now hundreds of thousands of peoples all across the world are dead. We need the truth; we still need the truth. We need to open up. We need to engage in a serious way with scientists around the world. And they now say they're going to allow the WHO to come in. That's great, but the WHO needs to be free to do its real work. We need to make sure the right people are there to engage in this investigation, and we need real answers, not a perfunctory political solution. This is about science, not politics, and the Chinese Communist Party needs to come clean with the world about this virus...
I commend to you Director Wray's entire speech yesterday. It is worth the time to watch. Attorney General Barr will deliver a set of remarks in the coming days, and then I'll give what will be the fourth in a series of remarks.
I want to direct everyone also to a letter that Under Secretary Keith Krach drafted to CEOs, boards of directors, trade groups, commercial investment firms alerting them to the CCP's use of slave labor in Xinjiang, and providing them with a set of governance recommendations for how they should ensure that they are not part and parcel of this terrible practice.
Last China item: The CCP recently filed a boundary dispute with Bhutan at a meeting of the Global Environment Facility.
From the mountain ranges of the Himalayas to the waters of Vietnam's Exclusive Zone, to the Senkaku Islands, and beyond, Beijing has a pattern of instigating territorial disputes. The world shouldn't allow this bullying to take place, nor should it permit it to continue.
Trump Aides Weigh Proposals to Undermine Hong Kong's Dollar Peg - Bloomberg
The idea of striking against the Hong Kong dollar peg -- perhaps by limiting the ability of Hong Kong banks to buy U.S. dollars -- has been raised as part of broader discussions among advisers to Secretary of State Michael Pompeo and hasn't been elevated to the senior levels of the White House, suggesting that it hasn't gained serious traction yet, according to people who discussed the matter on condition of anonymity...
Two of the people familiar with the matter said a top administration priority has been finding ways to punish banks based in Hong Kong, particularly HSBC Holdings Plc.
Question: Who are the private citizens who are helping seed this idea in the State Department?
McCaul on Trump Executive Orders: 'You're Going to See Sanctions Against the Chinese Communist Party'
On Tuesday's broadcast of the Fox Business Network's "Evening Edit," House Foreign Affairs Committee ranking member Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) predicted that President Trump's promised executive orders on China will include an executive order to implement the sanctions against the Chinese Communist Party for their actions in Hong Kong that were passed by the Congress last week and stated that the United States has no choice "but to issue the sanctions" against the CCP since Hong Kong can no longer be certified as autonomous anymore, "and it's one country, one system, and that's the Chinese Communist Party."
Implementing Visa Restrictions Under the Reciprocal Access to Tibet Act - United States Department of State
The United States seeks fair, transparent, and reciprocal treatment from the People's Republic of China for our citizens. We have taken several steps to further this goal. Unfortunately, Beijing has continued systematically to obstruct travel to the Tibetan Autonomous Region (TAR) and other Tibetan areas by U.S. diplomats and other officials, journalists, and tourists, while PRC officials and other citizens enjoy far greater access to the United States.
Therefore, today I am announcing visa restrictions on PRC government and Chinese Communist Party officials determined to be "substantially involved in the formulation or execution of policies related to access for foreigners to Tibetan areas," pursuant to the Reciprocal Access to Tibet Act of 2018. Access to Tibetan areas is increasingly vital to regional stability, given the PRC's human rights abuses there, as well as Beijing's failure to prevent environmental degradation near the headwaters of Asia's major rivers.

China's foreign ministry said on Wednesday that it would limit visas of US officials who engaged in "vile acts" regarding Tibet. It did not specify which actions or officials would be targeted.
The ministry added that 500 diplomats and 343 foreign journalists had visited the region from 2015 to 2018.
"Imposing visa restrictions seems to be the 'go to' option for the Trump administration," said Bonnie Glaser, a China expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. "So far, the names of those affected haven't been made public, which dilutes the impact."

New Cold War With China Can Make U.S. Democracy Stronger - Bloomberg - Hal Brands
Precisely because the Cold War was a fierce ideological contest over what type of system could best meet the aspirations of humanity, it created an imperative for America to live up to the image it portrayed to the world. And precisely because the contest required the U.S. to mobilize for a long, drawn-out rivalry, it led the country to invest massively in itself...
The key takeaway from the Cold War is that the best shield against such attacks is to build a stronger, more cohesive society — to confront the challenges that high-stakes competition makes too damaging to ignore.

Chinese academics claim US has started cold war as tensions simmer over South China Sea, Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong | South China Morning Post
The United States is launching a cold war against China, according to almost two thirds of Chinese researchers in a survey conducted by a Beijing-based think tank.
A total of 62 out of the 100 respondents to the survey published by the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University agreed when asked "is the US launching a new cold war against China?"
China, though, is able to cope with a possible new cold war offensive by the US, according to 90 per cent of the respondent..
The full list of respondents was not published, but from the names provided, the survey contacted representatives from universities and think tanks in China, including the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the Research Development Centre of the State Council...
A military conflict between China and the US is inevitable, according to 27 per cent of those surveyed, while 82 per cent feel the new cold war between the two nations would be different from the 1947-91 conflict between the US and the former Soviet Union due to greater economic interdependence.
The report - China can deal with the US: scholars - Chongyang
One of the respondents, Liu Weidong, a researcher at the Institute of American Studies at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said Chinese scholars used to hold the view that China-US relations can never be too good or too bad. However, right now the new understanding is that the relationship between China and the US will never be the same again. There is also a view holding that China-US relations are falling off a "cliff."
As for the US policy toward China, Liu believes that a growing number of scholars believe the US adopts a policy of "confrontation" and "containment," and some scholars use a new term "confinement." At present, Chinese scholars generally believe that the US political circle has reached a domestic consensus to be tough on China.
Liu said that China should give up its illusions about the US for three main reasons. First, at present the US political circle does no justice to China. Second, the US policy toward China is relentless and unbridled. In the past, the US has been willing to respond whenever China compromised. But the Trump administration has broken the convention, and it will impose tougher sanctions on China if China deals a strike back. Third, the US seems to be willing to accept a "lose-lose" situation in order to suppress China...
Wang Wen, the planner and designer of the questionnaire, is the executive dean of the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University of China and executive director of China-US People-to-People Exchange Research Center. He revealed that the idea for the project originated from his column "US launches Scold War, not Cold War" on the Global Times. Several American scholars have acknowledged in private letters that the term "Scold War" is interesting and reasonable. But they also said that the prospect of a cold war is mounting.
Wang believes that Chinese scholars should exert certain shaping power over American public opinion. He said if academic circles in both countries believe that the new cold war is not good for their own country's interests, they should speak out boldly and reverse pessimistic public opinion as much as possible.

6. TikTok
Trump Says He's Considering a Ban on TikTok in the U.S. - Bloomberg
"It's something we're looking at, yes," Trump said when asked in an interview with Gray Television's Greta Van Susteren about Pompeo's remarks. "It's a big business. Look, what happened with China with this virus, what they've done to this country and to the entire world is disgraceful."
Trump did not offer any specifics about a potential decision. He said that banning TikTok is "one of many" ways he is looking to hit back at the Beijing government over the coronavirus, which has infected nearly 3 million people in the U.S. and killed more than 130,000...
"TikTok is led by an American CEO, with hundreds of employees and key leaders across safety, security, product, and public policy here in the U.S.," a company spokesperson said. "We have never provided user data to the Chinese government, nor would we do so if asked."
Trump's comments about TikTok are a reminder that Secretary Pompeo was not making his comments off the cuff.
As I wrote yesterday:
Based on other conversations I've had recently I think a likely mechanism to ban TikTok would be the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), possibly in concert with the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS), with the CFIUS angle being an attempt to unwind the acquisition of musical.ly, as Ben Thompson discussed last year.

Banning TikTok could damage US prestige - Global Times
If the US government does move to ban TikTok, the protectionist policy is against the free market spirit that the US has always advocated. It is retrogression. Politicizing technology will only undermine its own technological competitiveness.
China's management of the internet has proven to be indispensable, and a number of competitive Chinese internet companies have emerged. Hopefully, the US can still maintain its competitive edge with an open attitude, instead of using politics to suppress its opponents.
When asked about TikTok's exit from Hong Kong, Zhang Nan, CEO of Bytedance China. told Chinese media "Douyin already has many users in Hong Kong, and we will now provide Douyin service to Hong Kong users too"
Question: Will Bytedance provide a seamless way for TikTok users to import their data and settings into Douyin?
7. Credit card debt
In Depth: Inside the Illicit Business Running Up China's Credit Card Debt - Caixin
An illicit business that has become a lifeline to many of Alipay and WeChat Pay's smaller peers has again caught the attention of regulators for contributing to China's ballooning credit card debt, a problem that has only grown worse amid the economic strain caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The business, known in China as "cash-out services," allows individuals and businesses to tap their credit cards for cash advances at costs far lower than normal...
In the past few years, cash-out services contributed about 1 trillion yuan ($141.4 billion) to 2 trillion yuan of China's payment market — that's equal to 2.5% to 5% of domestic credit card transactions in 2019, according to estimates by multiple sources in the industry.
The size of the business could help explain why the People's Bank of China (PBOC) last month released draft regulations (link in Chinese) that urged banks and third-party payment companies to tighten supervision over credit and debit card transactions...
At the end of March, total credit card balances at least six months overdue reached nearly 91.9 billion yuan, up 23.7% from the end of last year, according to central bank data. The total was the second highest figure since the data series began in 2008...
For the cash-out service to work, the merchants have to be complicit because any sale exists only to disguise the transaction. No goods or services change hands. With a simple swipe on a point-of-sale (POS) machine provided by a third-party payment company, a cardholder walks away with cash in hand and a charge by the merchant.
8. New translation of the works of Wang Wei 王維
Wang Wei is my favorite poet, and this new translation looks excellent. It is also free in PDF form of you do not want to buy the hard copy for $35. I bought the book. I figured we could all benefit from some good Tang Dynasty poetry.
The Poetry and Prose of Wang Wei
Wang Wei has traditionally been considered one of the greatest of Tang dynasty poets, together with Li Bo and Du Fu. This is the first complete translation into English of all of his poems, and also the first substantial translation of a selection of his prose writings. For the first time, readers encountering his work in English translation will get a comprehensive understanding of Wang Wei's range as a poet and prose writer.
In spite of the importance of Wang Wei's poetry in the history of Chinese literature, no one has attempted a complete translation of all of his surviving poems; moreover, even though he was known for his skill in composing prose pieces in the recognized genres of his day (especially as a writer of commissioned compositions), very little of his prose has been translated. This translation will enable students with limited or no knowledge of Chinese to get a full sense of Wang Wei's compositional range. Moreover, since Wang Wei was known for being a devout Buddhist, having the complete poetry available in reliable translation as well as all of the prose that is connected to the Buddhist faith will be useful to students of Chinese religion.

Presidential Council's substitute Head Al-Majibri appoints new GNA officials, PC deputy rejects
The substitute Head of the Presidential Council (PC) of the Government of National Accord (GNA), Fathi Al-Mijibri, has taken new decisions to appoint new officials in the GNA, which led to a wave of anger at the PC construction.
Al-Mijibri appointed Fathalla Abdelkareem as anew Chief of Libyan Intelligence Department of the GNA.
He also appointed Ibrahim Bu Shanaf as a new Minister of Justice, and the Brigadier General Mohammed AL-Zain as a new commander of the Terrorism Combat Force.
These new inter-interest appointments by Al-Mijibri come as he is appointed a temporary head for the PC while Fayez Al-Serraj is in London to attend his daughter's wedding party at Jumariah Carlton London, which of course led to a wave of fury in Libya as Al-Serraj is boldly affording a London party for his daughter's wedding, while Libyans cannot even get quarter of their salaries from the banks.
The deputy of the PC Head, Abdel Salam Kajman, said Sunday he rejects all of the decisions and appointments made by Al-Mijibri.
On Facebook, Kajman added that all of the decisions made by Al-Mijibri were taken without reaching the right quorum of the PC members, so they are all null until the PC members convene a full quorum meeting.

The TAZ Pro is an industrial desktop 3D printer that provides large, multi-material and soluble support printing with LulzBot's award-winning reliability. Create high quality large functional prototypes and parts with easy, professional results.
With a taller print area than the TAZ 6 and two extruder heads, the TAZ Pro is a major upgrade. The two extruder heads allow you to use two different colors or materials with similar melting points to create multicolor or multi-material objects. This configuration allows for clean and solid transitions between the two materials or colors. The upgraded electronics allow for more professional prints that run quieter. A 5in touchscreen, that replaces the previous monochrome LCD with wheel-selector, makes moving through the menus and adjusting settings incredibly simple.
The new hardened steel components allow for high heat composites that are too abrasive for most desktop printers. The Taz Pro even has a sensor that notifies you when a new filament reel is needed! Plus, all the automated features such as X/Y/Z offset calibration, nozzle wiping, and self leveling that set the TAZ line apart from other desktop printers.
For those looking for an industrial level print quality with repeatable results for the desktop, this is the printer for you!

A new combined method is to be introduced and applied to the mold filling and solidification process. In the present method, the SIMPLER algorithm was adopted to solve the momentum and energy equations. The VOF (Volume of Fluid) method was also adopted to track the free surfaces in the filling process and the Equivalent Specific Heat Method to solve the phase change heat transfer problem in the solidification process. The staggered grid system was used to prevent the false velocity field and the non-uniform control volumes were used to improve the efficiency of calculation. The standard DAFA (donor and acceptor flux approximation) method was adopted in the VOF method. In order to verify the new combined method, the numerical results were compared with the experimental results of mold filling and other simulation methods. It is concluded that the new method can be used as an effective simulation method for the simulation of mold filling and solidification in the casting processes.

Solid Waste Sites: Landfills and Lakefills
Solid waste sites can include:
Landfills that handle typical domestic solid waste
Landfills that handle construction and demolition materials
Landfills are engineered areas where waste is placed into the land. Although source reduction, reuse, recycling and composting can divert large portions of municipal solid waste from disposal, some waste still must be placed in landfills.
Modern landfills are well-engineered facilities that are located, designed, operated, monitored, closed, cared for after closure, cleaned up when necessary and financed to insure compliance with federal regulations. Landfills usually have liner systems and other safeguards to prevent groundwater contamination.
If a facility is not permitted to handle a specific type of material then it may actually be an illegal solid waste site. Please review the permits page to see which permits are necessary.Back to Top Page Last Edited: Tue Nov 17, 2015 4:49:50 PM

text: A term used by Roland Barthes to describe the materiality of the embodied voice: "The 'grain' is the body of the voice as it sings, the hand as it writes, the limb as it performs" (1972). The grain is what is nonlinguistic about the voice, and in a way marks its uniqueness (somewhat like Barthes' punctum). According to Barthes, much popular singing lacks grain, as though the grain of the popular voice has been burnished to absolute, textureless smoothness. Many critics have taken issue with Barthes' formulation of "grain," accusing him of romanticism and the like. Those who believe the voice to be fundamentally ventriloquial will doubtless find this notion hard to swallow.

Here I sit, 3.5 years after that fateful day in 2016, saying it out loud. . .
After spending a week at an internationally recognized spinal cord facility dedicated to improving the lives of those with developmental disabilities and disorders of the brain, spinal cord and musculoskeletal system, through patient care, special education, research, and professional training, I need to STOP. STOP trying, STOP hoping, just STOP. It's time for us to figure out how to move on, how to find true joy and real happiness (if possible) in what we (I) am actually able to do.
While our week wasn't 100% successful, it wasn't a 100% failure either. Being a #little_person and #paralyzed drastically limits resources and therapeutic exercise equipment available. My lack of reach prohibits my ability to do many many things that a paralyzed average height person in a #wheelchair can do. We did learn a few tips regarding stretches and different positions that may help ease the muscle pain I experience in my left upper thigh and a few other helpful hints.
In order for ME to try to learn how to be truly happy again, I can not continuously be reminded of what I can not do, what equipment doesn't work for me, what clothes I can no longer wear, places I can no longer access, activities I can no longer enjoy & participate in, etc.
Even equipment designed, developed and created to enable paralyzed people to have a sense of independence as most are for average height people/
It's time for me and my honey to figure out OUR journey together, what it is, how do we get ourselves back to where we were when we were excited about visiting new places, experiencing new adventures and loving doing it together.
As always, I wish you days filled with WONDER – take a minute to WONDER what it is that made you smile today! 😊

Learn How to Use a Curling Wand for Better Results
You're in for the best curls of your life
Let's face it, you feel good when your hair looks exactly the way you want. A head full of lush curls can take your day from blah to brilliant. But, achieving those curls isn't always an easy thing to do…
Not sure how to curl hair? It's important to understand what products to use before and after styling to help your curls last, how to choose the right curling wand, and techniques to get the results you want.
Here, we break it all down so you'll learn exactly how to curl your hair with ease and consistently get the beautiful, long-lasting curls you've been dreaming of.
How to Prep Hair Before Curling
Did you know that hair is more prone to damage when it's wet?
When curling your hair, make sure it's completely dry and always use a thermal protectant.
This helps avoid potential dryness, breakage, and split ends that can result from heat styling wet hair.
Thermal Magique Heat & Humidity Tamer is an excellent choice because it not only protects your hair from the heat of your curling wand, it also shields your hair from style-sabotaging humidity.
After applying, make sure the product has dried completely, then brush your hair to evenly distribute and help eliminate any tangles.
In addition to protecting your hair, it's always a good idea to wear a heat-resistant glove on the hand that will be wrapping hair around the curling wand barrel.
Section Hair for Better Results
When curling your hair, it's so much easier to work in smaller, more manageable sections.
A simple way to achieve this is to clip your un-curled hair up and out of the way while you work on one small section (think 1/6 of your hair at a time).
Alligator Hair Clips are great because they're so easy to grip, especially while you're juggling a tool and your hair at the same time.
These styling essentials have double hinged jaws that extend to hold even the thickest hair and keep it securely where you want it.
They're also gentle on strands and help to minimize snagging and creasing.
How to Choose the Right Curling Wand Size
Choosing your barrel size comes down to two factors: your hair length AND your hair goals...
If you have short to medium hair or would like a tighter, more defined curl, choose a 1" (32mm) barrel.
If you have long hair or prefer your curls and waves to be of the looser, more relaxed variety, then a 1.25" (32mm) barrel is perfect for you.
Curls too tight? Allow gravity to do the work or if you're pressed for time, brush them out gently (with a brush or your fingers) once they've completely cooled.
Tips for Avoiding Damage
To keep your hair as healthy as can be, it's recommended to avoid heat styling every day.
If you must, there are a couple things you can do to minimize the effects, such as occasionally letting your hair air dry before using your curling wand.
It's also a good idea to curl your hair on your wand's lowest possible setting that still gives you the results you want.
Try starting at the lowest temperature and slowly work your way up until you discover which setting works best for your hair.
How to Use a Curling Wand
Still struggling with how to curl your hair? We've got you covered with these 6 easy to follow tips:
- Wear a heat-resistant glove to protect your hand that will be wrapping the hair.
- Holding the tool vertically, keep the base of the wand near your roots, with the tip facing downward. (Tip: tilt the tool at a 45 degree angle to create space between your hand, face, and the wand.)
- If you'd like to achieve more volume at the roots, try holding the wand horizontally.
- Wrap a 1" strand of hair around the barrel. (A larger strand will produce a looser curl.)
- Hold the hair briefly with your protected hand for 5 - 10 seconds. (Fine or damaged hair may require less time.)
- Release hair, letting the curl gently slide out from around the barrel and let the curl cool completely.
- Wrap face-framing pieces away from your face, and wrap sections in the back of your head in both directions to give your hair variety and movement.
How to Make Your Curls Last
You invest time to curl your hair - what you do afterward helps ensure that your curls will last.
For starters, once you've released a curl from around the wand barrel, let it cool in the palm of your hand.
This helps the curl retain its shape before gravity has a chance to relax it.
Another way to make your curls last is to give them an even mist of hairspray to lock them into place.
We like Trois Chic Three-Way Hairspray for its customizable hold.
Simply twist the dial to select light, medium, or strong hold, with a flexible, humidity-resistant finish.
