Whether it's signage or a decoration piece, neon LED strip lights are built to illuminate the whole room with its bright, funky colors and clear light. Even though neon lights got trendy a while ago, there are different variants available in the market.
Want to add an extra flair to your room with bright colored neon LED strips? This article will bring you more about neon light strips.
Whether it's signage or a decoration piece, neon LED strip lights are built to illuminate the whole room with its bright, funky colors and clear light.
Let us read this article to find out:
1. What is a Neon LED Strip?
Neon LED strip lights are the most efficient form of LED lighting that you can use in residential, commercial, and industrial areas. This strip is a flexible LED tube, enclosed in silicone and consists of a cluster of LEDs installed on a PCB strip. The flexibility of this neon LED strip makes it more user friendly and multi-purpose.
Here are some ways you can utilize this flexible neon light for:
- An accent, or drawl lighting in your living area
- Task lighting in your office
- Creating your retail display signages
- Ambient lighting inside your RV or around your RV's awning
The neon LED deliver a uniform lighting so that you can have the perfect ambiance. Here are some other benefits you must know about neon light strips:
2. LED Neon Light vs LED Strip Light?
Another important thing you should be mindful of before purchasing your LED is the difference between LED neon and strip light. Here are some vital discrepancies for your consideration:
Even though both are almost similar, they do have different manufacturing designs. LED neon lights are linear LED lighting, enclosed inside a thin silicon outer covering. The silicone sleeve makes LED neon's lighting output more diffused and soft as compared to LED Strip Lights.
Neon flex has about 30-80LM/W, whereas Strip lights produce a light output of about 100-180MW.
The power of neon lights is no more than 18W. That's why strip lights are a better option where you need higher light output.
If you are planning to decorate your workstation, then Neon light is the best option for you. LED Neon is more visible and are continuous throughout the length, and you can easy to create different shape design by using Neon Strip light.
LED Strip Lights have a gap between the LED SMD, making them less appealing for decoration. LED Strip Lighting suits the best when you use them behind frosted diffuser which can reduces the glare from seeing the LED. They are more common for decorating commercial architectural lighting.
3. Neon LED Flexible Strip vs Traditional Neon Glass Lighting
With several neon variants available in the market, consumers sometimes find it hard to choose the best one for their lighting needs. The most commonly available ones are traditional neon glass lightings. However, here are some key differences you should consider before making a final decision:
4. The Installation Guide For Neon LED Strip
Here are some easy steps to install neon LED strips in your residential or commercial property:
Step 1. Cutting to The Right Size You Need
Most of the time, your LED seller will give you pre-cut neon led strip lights. But if they don't, you can do it yourself.
Every neon flex LED light comes with dotted lines present after every 0.5 meter along the solder pads. You can cut them to achieve the desired length.
Step 2. Connect the Transmission End of the Strip to a Power Connector
- First, apply glue to the outer jacket, ensuring glue doesn't get to any core wiring. And you should note:
1) Wait for at least 8 hours for the glue to fully set.
2) Insert the male connector into the light body while keeping the terminal pins aligned with the strip's core wire.
3) The connector must fit securely and sit with all aligned terminal pins.
2. Install the clip securely on one side of the strip.
3. Attach the fixing box carefully over the clip.
Step 3. Insert a Tail Plug Into The Non-transmission End
Apply some glue to the end cap and install a tail plug in the strip's on-transmission end.
Install the clip carefully.
Carefully attach the fixing box.
Step 4. Carefully attach the fixing box.
Install the track through a screw, then insert the strip into the track.

The United Nations Security Council should immediately refer the situation in Myanmar, including the widespread and systematic abuses against ethnic Rohingya, to the International Criminal Court (ICC), Human Rights Watch said on Tuesday.
During the first week of May 2018, senior diplomats from the 15-member Security Council visited the refugee camps in Bangladesh to see first-hand the situation of the more than 700,000 Rohingya refugees who fled Myanmar military abuses since August 2017, adding to an estimated 200,000 Rohingya refugees who fled previous violence.
The diplomats pledged to take action on their return to New York. UK Ambassador Karen Pierce said all council members considered the Rohingya issue to be "one of the most significant human rights cases that we have ever faced in the last decade and that something needs to be done."
"Now that the Security Council has heard directly from Rohingya refugees about the horrors inflicted by Myanmar's army, the need to hold those responsible to account should be clear," said Param Preet Singh, associate international justice director.
"Myanmar's repeated and implausible denials of responsibility for atrocities and its longstanding culture of impunity mean that the International Criminal Court is the only real hope for victims to see justice," he said.
During their four-day visit to Myanmar and Bangladesh, council members met with humanitarian agencies, civil society groups, parliamentarians, and military and government officials, including Bangladesh's Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, Myanmar's de-facto civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi, and Myanmar military commander-in-chief Sr. Gen. Min Aung Hlaing.

This is the beautiful Wat Pa Maha Chedi Kaew, better known as the Million Bottle Temple. From far away, this Buddhist temple looks a beautiful jade structure on a serene lake. It rests near the Cambodian border in the Sisaket province of Thailand, and has served the community of Khun Han since ground was broken in 1984.
In the eighties, a local monk and his followers noticed a mounting litter problem in the area. With the idea of promoting a healthier, litter-free community, the group started the Wat Pa Maha Chedi Kaew. The locals brought monks recyclable bottles, which were used to build every part of the temple.
Everything inside and outside the temple is made using recycled beer bottles. The place is littered with bottles (in the non-polluting sort of way). The temple also features religious decorations and dioramas made from bottle caps, further stretching the monks' given materials.

Justin Bieber clearly knows how to set the mood.
The 24-year-old singer enjoyed a night out with Hailey Baldwin on Wednesday and couldn't resist serenading his leading lady. The impromptu concert took place at the Montage Beverly Hills in California around 6:15 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. Bieber had been waiting for the valet to bring around his Lamborghini when the Grammy winner decided to belt out Marvin Gaye's 1982 hit "Sexual Healing."
"She was cracking up," an insider said, "perhaps a bit embarrassed but still very happy and taken by it. There is clearly a lot of love in her eyes when she is around him. He was singing pretty [loudly]. You could hear it from a good distance."
At one point, Bieber even roped in a nearby bystander to help with his routine. He held the stranger's hand and wrapped his arm around him.
"Justin was in a great mood," the source continued. "He put his arm around a man nearby as they snapped a selfie together and then Hailey joined them for a photo, as well."
Bieber and Baldwin kept it cute and casual for their date night. The 22-year-old model rocked a gray hoodie and black jacket, which she paired with black pants, black sneakers and hoop earrings. Meanwhile, her hubby donned sweatpants and a yellow Drew House sweatshirt. He accessorized his look with a white baseball cap and sneakers. After their date, the two headed over to a friend's house, where there seemed to be a small get-together.
There must be something about the Montage Beverly Hills that gets Bieber in the singing mood. Not only would he bring Selena Gomez there for dates (as recently as last Valentine's Day), but he also serenaded her there. Bieber performed a rendition of "My Girl" for his ex back in 2015.

Technorati Tags: ID cards, predictions, security
William Gibson, as I (and just about everyone else) always point out, once said that the future is already here, it's just unevenly distributed. In other words, all of the technologies that will transform IDM over any reasonable timescale for organisational planning already exist (hopefully we'll get a peek at some of them at the Digital Identity Forum next month). We just need to look around to see where they are being used, try and work out which ones will work in the mass market and then set about deploying them. Easy, really.
I have to say that I'm not sure that untried technologies are required. A well-engineered combination of smart cards, biometrics and PKI would seem to be a reasonable platform from which to build corporate and governmental solutions. The smart card to store your digital identities, the biometrics to authenticate your access to them and PKI to communicate them over networks (together with credentials).
The first step on the critical path must be the smart card, because until we get some tamper-resistent hardware into the identity loop we're in a world where everything can be counterfeited with minimal effort. Now, the smart card from your bank (on your chip and PIN card) or from your mobile operator (your SIM card) would do just fine. A smart card superglued to the motherboard of your PC (anyone remember Palladium?) would work in some circumstances. But being able to carry your identities round with you and then plug them into whatever device you want to use would be even better. Microsoft would appear to agree and has apparently added support for smart cards and digital certificates to Vista. I'd love to see smart cards integrated with PCs. I hope it's done the Japanese way: using small contactless readers built in to the laptop or desktop to make contactless verification (using both contactless cards and contactless phones) is so easy, convenient, simple, quick and, well, just plain cool.

Ather Plans To Enter 4 More Cities Amidst Growing Response For 450X
Ather Energy, the Bengaluru-based electric scooter manufacturer, has announced its plan to enter four more cities this year. In January, the company, which is currently present only in Bengaluru and Chennai, had confirmed its plan to enter Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Pune and Hyderabad, and said it was looking for dealers partners to set up experience centres across key cities in India. But now, following the launch of the Ather 450X, the company says it has been receiving a massive response for the new electric scooter from other cities as well and has decided to add Ahmedabad, Kochi, Coimbatore, and Kolkata to its network expansion list.
Talking about the company's expansion plan, Tarun Mehta, CEO and Co-founder Ather Energy said, "There's been an amazing response for the Ather 450X across the country. We have been receiving pre-orders from not just the major metros but also several Tier II & III cities. Similarly, there have been more than 2000 requests for retail partnerships. By the end of this year, we will be present in ten cities and will continue to scale up to more than 30 cities by 2023. Our only focus now is scaling the experience of Ather 450X to all over the country."

The company will collaborate with Southeast Asia research institutions in a dairy study on 16,000 children.
FrieslandCampina (Amersfoort, the Netherlands), a global supplier of dairy ingredients, has announced the launch of a Southeast Asia nutritional study on dairy consumption in children 12 years old and under.
Over 16,000 children from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam are expected to participate in the study.
A research and development team from FrieslandCampina will partner with four local nutritional institutes-Persautuan Ahli Gizi Indonesia, University Kebangsaan Malaysia, Mahidol University in Thailand, and Vietnam's National Institute of Nutrition-Vien Ding Duong-to compile and analyze data.
Researchers will conduct dietary profiling and nutrient intake assessments; blood analyses for iron status, vitamin levels, lipid profiles, and blood pressure; and assessments of body composition and physical activity.
"We understand that each local market has specific nutritional needs based on unique requirements and this upcoming nutritional study will allow us to achieve an in-depth understanding so as to better serve the local communities," said Jan Willem Kivits, marketing director at the FrieslandCampina Consumer Products International business group. "Through this study, we also intend to be able to better inform consumers and encourage them to improve their nutrition and lead more healthy lives."
"The extensive scale and rigor of FrieslandCampina's nutrition study has not been seen in recent years. Taking an evidence-based approach to nutrition, the study will allow parents, governments and nutrition professionals to gain in-depth understanding into the needs and patterns of children's nutrition today," added associate professor Poh Bee Koon of the University Kebangsaan Malaysia.
FrieslandCampina dairy ingredients are already featured in Southeast Asian dairy brands, including Dutch Lady (Malaysia and Vietnam), Frisian Flag (Indonesia), and Foremost (Thailand).
Study results are expected by the first quarter of 2012.

Healthcare management and administration service company Express Scripts (ESRX) is scheduled to report second-quarter results on Tuesday, July 28 after market close. With shares hitting all-time highs before the report and up more than 40% in the past twelve months, the pressure is on. Can the company live up to expectations?
Analysts expect Express Scripts to report meaningful growth for both revenue and earnings for its second quarter. The average analyst estimate is for adjusted EPS and revenue of $1.40 and $26.15 billion, respectively. These figures are up 14% and 4% from $1.23 and $25.11 billion in adjusted EPS and revenue in the year-ago quarter.
Notably, the analyst consensus estimate for $1.40 in second-quarter EPS is slightly below the midpoint of the forecasted range provided by management. Management said in its first-quarter report it expected to report EPS in the range of $1.39 to $1.43 for Q2.
When Express Scripts reported first-quarter results, its adjusted EPS was in line with estimates for $1.10, and its revenue of $24.9 billion was slightly higher than expectations of $24.3 billion.
Beyond earnings and revenue, investors should check in on the company's guidance.
Express Scripts provides updated guidance every quarter for both the following quarter and the full year. Look for Express Scripts to at least maintain its full-year guidance range midpoint and to forecast quarterly adjusted EPS year-over-year growth in line with growth in recent quarters: 13% to 16%.
Currently trading at 33 times earnings, Express Scripts' stock doesn't look cheap headed into its second-quarter earnings report. But investors should keep in mind that there's no near-term reason to expect the company's EPS growth rates to take a hit. Indeed, analysts, on average, expect robust annualized EPS growth of 13% over the next five years. This expectation for prolonged double-digit year-over-year earnings growth helps justify Express Scripts' premium valuation.
Helping Express Scripts drive EPS growth is its share repurchase program. As the company continues to repurchase shares, management believes it can potentially reduce its share count to as few as 695 billion diluted shares outstanding by the end of the year, below approximately 729 million reported outstanding shares today.
In the past year, Express Scripts has reduced its share count by about 100 million, playing a key role in the company's ability to grow earnings faster than revenue.
Trading at all-time highs, Express Scripts' stock may not be a bargain. But as long as management continues to prove it can drive outsized EPS growth and management remains bullish on the long-term outlook for the pharmacy benefit management, or PBM, industry, management would really have to make a major misstep to give investors a good reason to sell.
Investors will be able to find a copy of Express Scripts' second quarter report after market close on Tuesday, July 28 on its investor information page. The second quarter conference call will take place the next day, July 29, at 8:30 AM ET. Investors can tune into the call by visiting this URL.
Stay tuned for more earnings coverage, as well as Foolish analysis of the company's second-quarter results when the report goes live.

Since there are several moving parts along with many parties involved in a real estate transaction, it comes as no surprise that closing delays frequently arise. Find out the top 5 reasons residential real estate closings get delayed and how to avoid those pitfalls.
A recent survey conducted by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) found that 29% of real estate transactions were delayed due to issues with financing.
If buyers didn't get full preapproval and were only pre-qualified through the lender, after full review, they may be denied or approved for significantly less. The lender may also discover that the original information the buyer provided wasn't completely accurate or they may find credit issues that were unknown or not reported.
Very often there are delays with financing because the lender did not receive the proper documents or information in a timely manner. This impedes the underwriting process which can, with a domino effect, delay the real estate transaction by weeks.
Knowing which documents are needed and when they are due can help avoid setbacks in the transaction process. Without timely communication, documents can sit for weeks without anyone seeing them, ultimately slowing down the process and causing frustration for the buyer and seller.
Appraisal roadblocks are a common reason for the delays. Lenders typically require that the property has a minimum market value and condition before financing it. An appraisal that comes in below the contract sales price means lenders typically won't approve the loan. This can delay the closing and feasibly compromise the deal.
Issues with appraisals easily cause a snowball effect of confusion between all parties involved in the transaction. A low appraisal affects more than just the loan amount. It affects the deposit and final documents that need to be created in accordance with the sale of the home.
The confusion can be overcome and processing through to a resolution can best take place with all necessary participants communicating synchronously in real-time to instill confidence in the process.
Many buyers don't think much of the title process when purchasing a home. However, title issues, even minor ones, left unresolved until at or near closing can bring the closing process to a grinding and extended halt.
The purchase of a property is actually the purchase of title to a property by way of a deed, which is the main document involved in the real estate transaction closing.
A property typically is not transferred to a buyer, and a lender won't lend funds, without a title insurance company conducting a thorough title search to make certain, there are no liens on the property or discrepancies to consider. If there are no issues the title is deemed clean. However, if it is discovered that there is a defect or open issue with the title, then it is not clean and cleaning it, or clearing the defect, will take time.
Typically, the title search occurs after other contract conditions are satisfied and can occur towards the end of the deal, making time of the essence. Each day matters and knowing whether or not the title searches have been reviewed and cleared for closing is imperative.
Knowing the process and status of review of this typically behind the scenes process is the best way to avoid a title issue from delaying a closing date. Being mindful of deadlines and knowing with whom to communicate on details such as title defects eliminates an incredible amount of stress and wanted time.
Inspections are conducted to identify the property's condition, including whether it meets building codes or buyer's reasonable expectations. Inspectors report on minor items like an aesthetic concern and major items like a structural defect. In certain cases, a lender may require certain conditions, like the existence of a leaking oil tank, be addressed prior to the loan being cleared to close.
Buyers generally request an inspection clause to be included in the purchase contract. This gives them the option to have a professional inspect the home and review whether to have defective items addressed.
The time required to hire the home inspector, as well as the home inspection due date can pass without the parties even being aware of the deadlines.
The process of inspection, reporting, and final negotiation, if necessary, of repairs or credit agreements can be longer than expected. The final steps of documenting the outcome and having credit agreements approved by a lender can sometimes escape otherwise very capable professionals. Failure to track and follow up on completion of these items can undoubtedly delay closing.
Although many issues can arise through the real estate transaction process, the biggest complaint is the lack of communication. Real estate transactions are communication intensive. There can easily be 20 different responsible participants involved in the closing of a home. With so many participants, any delayed or missed communication can have a near devastating effect on the outcome of the closing.
While a real estate transaction is in essence an upfront agreement on purchase price between a buyer and a seller, there are typically 10 to 12 steps that must be accomplished to get from contract signing to closing. Each step has a professional, or team or professionals, to assist. For example, the lender, title insurance company, and home insurance provider. With most communication done via text, email and phone, important participants can be left out, which leaves huge communication gaps.
The opportunity for a breakdown or delay in communication between participants is endless. Such breakdown or delay can derail the required timing of other requirements. Communication between all relevant participants and team members is key.
Reti360's web and mobile platform digitize real estate transactions from contract signing through closing. Agents, transaction coordinators, brokerages, service providers, and housing consumers all connect on one workflow of all steps needed for each participant to accomplish. Shared calendar, document management, and sign-off ensures that agents and housing consumers know they are clear to close on each step. Reti360 sends simple alerts of what tasks need to be accomplished. Agents connect their trusted service providers with clients to streamline the engagement process. All this in one free and easy-to-use platform.
Using Reti360 will reduce the stresses on buyers and sellers, save time for agents and the other professionals involved, and ensure a smooth closing.

Rex Begonias, with their stained glass foliage, have been delighting people since Victorian times. These easy houseplants come in such a range of sizes (from minis only 3" tall and wide to giants that get almost 3 feet wide), foliage colors (rose, red, silver, chartreuse, orange, black, and awesome combos), and textures, you are sure to find one (or many) to suit your fancy! All will bloom (usually white, pink, or rose) but some bloom better than others. It seems that the more colorful the foliage, the more mousey and shy the flowers. But some of the green/chartreuse foliaged plants put on such a flower show you can't see the leaves!
Rex Begonias like a warm, bright location, away from drafts and heat sources. Keep the begonias moist but not soggy, never sitting in a saucer of water, feeding every 3rd watering (see last week's Gardening Wisdom). Give your Rex Begonias a summer vacation outside in a bright shade or morning sun location (as a container plant). You will be awed with their beauty.

East Netherlands
WEF – Global center food innovation comes to the (East) Netherlands
The (East) Netherlands will be the center for global food innovation with the Global Coordinating Secretariat (GCS). Prime Minister Rutte announced this during a digital meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF). The GCS is part of the WEF's food system initiative to drive innovations and new technologies in the food chain that contribute to global food security. The GCS is directing from the Netherlands the further development of global regional food innovation hubs including the leading European hub Foodvalley NL.
Worldwide, nearly 2 billion people lack access to sufficient, nutritious and safe food and 690 million people suffer from chronic hunger or lack of proper nutrition. The expected growth of the world's population and the impact of the climate crisis only adds to the urgency of this food insecurity. We therefore need to produce more food and also smarter food than ever before.
"The Dutch agrifood, horticulture and plant breeding sectors are world players when it comes to knowledge and techniques for the sustainable production and processing of food. That knowledge and innovation is already going global, think of Simon Groot's company East-West Seed that provides millions of small farmers with good seeds. With Foodvalley NL as the European Food Hub in the WEF and the Global Coordinating Secretariat in the Netherlands, we can share that knowledge and expertise with the world even more."
Minister Schouten of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality
"The Dutch economy is one of the most innovative in the world. With the arrival of the Global Coordinating Secretariat, we can make even better use of our innovative power to contribute to food security in the world. With a strong combination of companies and knowledge institutions in agrifood, horticulture, breeding, high-tech and ICT, we have all factors in place to play a leading role and shape the necessary change in the food system."
Minister Van 't Wout of Economic Affairs and Climate
"The East Netherlands is a frontrunner in innovations in the field of Food and Agro. For example, the European Food Innovation Hub of the World Economic Forum (WEF) will be located at Foodvalley NL. At the same time WEF has set up the Global Coordinating Secretariat for the Food Innovation Hubs worldwide and it has been decided to establish this in the Netherlands. It is with pride that Oost NL accepts the assignment from the province of Gelderland and province of Overijssel to help start this Global Coordinating Secretariat for Food Innovation Hubs. This way we can make even better use of the knowledge and experience of the Netherlands, and the East Netherlands in particular, to support international trade and innovation. All this to provide the growing world population with healthy and sustainably produced food."
Wendy de Jong, general director of Oost NL
Food Innovation Hubs
Changing the way we produce and consume food requires globally scalable innovations that fit regional conditions. Regional Food hubs play a crucial role in this by bringing together farmers, businesses, scientists and (other) parties in the food chain to develop innovations and business and revenue models that contribute to a sustainable and future-proof food system. Hubs have been set up in Asia, Africa and Central and South America. Foodvalley NL has been appointed as the European Food Hub since November.
Global Coordinating Secretariat
The East Netherlands Development Agency Oost NL (commissioned by the province of Gelderland and province of Overijssel) supports the GCS financially and by contributing to a small core team. The GCS will help the regional hubs with scaling up, drive new regional hubs and work on global partnerships for innovation. In this way, together they will ensure that knowledge and innovation for a healthy and sustainable food system will be better distributed around the world.

Our Fantasy Premier League tips Gameweek 30+ goalkeepers round-up is here to usher you gently in the direction of clean sheets.
Recommended goalkeeper picks for this Gameweek include players from Sheffield United, Manchester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
🌟 Dean Henderson SHU, £5.3m
Although there's a lot of uncertainty following football's break amid the coronavirus epidemic, Sheffield United take a strong defence into their Doublg Gameweek.
Fixtures away to struggling duo Aston Villa and Newcastle look tempting, although bear in mind Henderson can't face parent club Man Utd in GW31+.
As such, be sure to have a backup goalkeeper who's a starter for his side – unless of course you plan on using your Free Hit for this Gameweek.
🌟 Ederson MCI, £6m
Man City have two home games, against Arsenal and Burnley, and Ederson is one of the few players you might reasonably expect to start both matches.
🌟 Rui Patrício WOL, £5.2m
Wolves had kept four clean sheets in five games before the enforced break, and a trip to West Ham upon resumption looks like one of the better fixtures out there.

This week I attended my last Advisory Board meeting for Aging In Place in Darien. That's because the Advisory Board has been disbanded and we will now have a Board of Directors. The new board has a fantastic array of really smart, dedicated people. I'm so excited that I will be working with them to more firmly establish AIP as a nonprofit serving the needs of Darien seniors.
Aging In Place in Darien has come a long way in a few years -- from just an idea to an organization that connects seniors to the myriad services that exist to help them stay in their homes as they age. In July, we sponsored a meeting of local service providers in Norwalk, Darien and Stamford. There are over 90 such providers! 30 showed up and were thrilled to be networking and discovering how others serve seniors. The biggest problem seems to be lack of awareness. We help correct that.
"We identify barriers and help break through them," says Olive Hauser, Director of Social Services in Darien. She's right, that's one of the big things AIP does. By working collaboratively, brainstorming, providing information and links, and acting as catalysts, we've helped Gallivant increase its ridership. (Gallivant is Darien's van that takes seniors and disabled to appointments of all kinds). We also helped the town establish half-price taxi vouchers for seniors by tapping a state senior transportation grant. Seniors buy the vouchers at Town Hall, and Eveready Taxi will accept the vouchers as payment for rides. Demand for taxi vouchers keeps climbing. Call Darien Social Services for more information -- 203-656-7328. To ride on Gallivant, call: 203-655-2227.
But AIP does even more to help you to remain independent. Alyssa Israel, the AIP Coordinator, has a list of vetted service providers, if you need help around the house. She gets about 30 to 50 calls each month, mostly requesting handyman or home maintenance help, followed by transportation requests. Alyssa can be reached at 203-202-2912.
I'm looking forward to our new board keeping up the momentum and accomplishing even more in the months and years ahead.

Letting this spare model go, from my vintage R/C collection…
Taiyo Aero Jet Hopper
Scale: 1/16
Type: Ready To Run
Year of release: 1987
Batteries Required: 8 x AA (Car). 1 x 9 volt (Transmitter)
Any vintage R/C model I sell has been personally tested and assessed.
About this example…
✔ New in box
✔ 100% working
✔ Mint
✔ Battery compartments mint
✔ Transmitter included
✔ Spare steering clips included
✔ Box included
✔ Paperwork included
✔ Tyres are 100%. No cracking.
✔ Nothing broken.
✔ Decals mint.
✔ Box & polystyrene base excellent.
Conclusion: Overall, stunning example of the Taiyo Aero Jet Hopper. This is another one I am selling, in addition to the one I sold a few weeks ago. Extremely rare in truly brand new condition – one of the very last examples left in the world at this standard. Priced according to rarity, condition and past examples I have sold.
Please see the photos to understand the condition. Feel free to contact me to find out more.
The Taiyo Aero Jet Hopper was Taiyo's "Aero" styled evolution of the Jet Hopper, and was released in 1987. It was branded both Tyco and Taiyo in the USA, Metro and Taiyo in Australia, Dickie and Taiyo in Europe, and just plain Taiyo elsewhere. Continuing the immense success of the Jet Hopper, this model used the same platform as the Jet Hopper Mk3 variant, thus it had low-profile block pattern tyres and a top speed of 27Km/H. With two gear speeds, responsive steering and solid suspension, and a more aerodynamic shape it was a fantastic evolution to the Jet Hopper line at a time in the late 1980s when the whole R/C toy industry was moving toward sleeker, more futuristic designs.

Microbes are micro-organisms, especially like bacteria that are responsible for various diseases. However, a number of them are also useful to us. Microbes are unicellular, minute organisms which are not visible to the naked eyes. A number of microbes are helpful to us in our routine life, while there are others that are detrimental for our health. The harmful microbes are known as pathogens.
Microbes that cause various diseases include viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoa and a few types of worms. They invade the healthy host cells and subsequently interrupt or even impair the regular activities of the cells. When this happens, it results in widespread diseases.
Microbes have an effect on all living organisms on this planet. These micro-organisms are remarkably diverse and possess the ability to survive in an assortment of habitats ranging from the icy wastes of Antarctica to the hot springs. Many microbes also reside in the bodies of plants and animals.
In order to infect us, microbes first need to enter our body. The place from which they enter our body is called the portal entry. In fact, microbes can enter our body through four places which are described briefly here.
The portal entries include our respiratory tract (which include the nose and mouth). When influenza virus enters our body through this site, it causes flu. They can also enter the body through the gastrointestinal tract (such as the mouth oral cavity). For instance, when the Vibrio cholerae enters through this portal entry, it causes cholera. Microbes can also enter our body through the urogenital tract, such as when Escherichia coli which is responsible for cystitis. Sometimes, microbes also enter through the skin pores as in the case of Clostridium tetani which is responsible for tetanus.
In order to infect us and make us fall ill, microbes first need to reach their target area inside the body. Next, they will need to bind themselves to the target area which they intend to infect and make sure that they are not extricated. Most importantly, after attaching themselves to the target site, microbes need to proliferate profusely and obtain the nutrients they need for their survival and proliferation from the host. They also need to survive inside the host and prevent being attacked by the immune system of the host.
Micro-organisms or pathogens are responsible for various diseases in both plants as well as animals. Below are a few examples of the diseases caused by different microbes.
As is well known, viruses cause viral diseases, which include acute as well as infectious diseases such as common cold. In addition, they also cause chronic ailments such as AIDS. They are also responsible for polio, mumps, rabies and many others.
On the other hand, bacteria are responsible for diseases like cholera, typhoid, diphtheria and others.
Protozoa causes diseases such as malaria and sleeping sickness and several others.
Several minute worms also cause diseases. For instance, tapeworms and roundworms may cause diseases such as Taeniasis and Ascariasis respectively.
How microbes cause diseases: There are various ways by which microbes cause diseases and make us fall sick. After they enter the body of the host they attach themselves to their target site and start infecting it. At the same time, microbes begin to multiply copiously at the target site and get their necessary nutrients from the host. They also have to make efforts to survive and avoid being attacked by the host's immune system.
Microbes can be classified into various groups - bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeasts and parasites. A brief description of each of these groups is given below.
Bacteria are of various types. In fact, they are diverse in nature and the diseases they cause. However, not all types of bacteria are harmful for us. There are a number of bacteria that are not only helpful, but protective to humans. Some of these �beneficial� bacteria thrive naturally in our body, especially in the bowel and vagina, and they play an important role in protecting us from various types of infections. On the other hand, when some other types of bacteria infect us, they may be responsible for many serious ailments like pneumonia, meningitis, tuberculosis and several others. Usually, a course of antibiotics is necessary to treat bacterial infections.
Viruses are also disease-bearing microbes but they are different from bacteria. There are various types of viruses on this planet. In fact, viruses are responsible for most of the common and minor infections, which include sore throats, common colds, coughs, chicken pox and a number of diseases that are accompanied with rashes. It is worth mentioning here that most of the common infections in any community are caused by viral infections.
Compared to the bacterial and fungal infections, virus infections are more common and widespread too.
It is unfortunate that we still do not have effective antiviral medications for several viral infections. While antibiotics are an effective means of treating bacterial infections, there is no such common medicine to treat viral infections. However, we are fortunate that our immune system is generally capable of combating most of the viral infections within a specific period. In many cases, symptomatic treatments like taking paracetamol and/or ibuprofen may help to combat fever and catarrh. Such symptomatic treatments also necessitate ample rest and drinking plenty of fluids to get cured.
In addition, some antiviral medications are also available for treating specific viral infections. Some examples of such medicines include antiretroviral medicines to treat HIV. Similarly, acyclovir is generally used for treating herpes simplex virus infections. However, it needs to be underlined here that use of antiviral medicines does not help to eliminate the viruses from the body. Usually, such medicines just work to prevent the virus from multiplying within the body, thereby helping to check the virus as well as the infection caused by it.
There are various types of fungi and they cause multiple problems to humans, animals as well as plants. Generally, fungal infections cause harm to the human's skin and nails. They may be responsible for problems such as athlete's foot, ringworm and various skin rashes that occur locally. In addition, fungi may also cause infections in as well as around the nails. Many modern day creams are quite effective in quickly treating local fungal rashes. Nevertheless, at times nail infections caused by fungi can be somewhat bothersome and obdurate, generally requiring long-term treatments. Antifungal medicines are taken orally to treat such conditions.
Nearly all fungi in the environment are free-living. Some of them are also capable of infecting people who are healthy otherwise. They possess the ability to cause grave infections in some people, especially patients who suffer from a feeble immune system. For instance, cancer patients who have recently undergone chemotherapy are extremely susceptible to such serious fungal infections.
Though they are known as yeasts, actually these microbes are a type of fungus. There are various types of yeasts that are responsible for a variety of infections � the most common among such yeast infections is known as thrush. A variety of yeast known as Candida is responsible for thrush. Candida usually thrives best in the moist, warm and airless body areas. This particular yeast can infect the mouth as well as the vagina to cause thrush. In babies, yeast causes nappy rash. At times, yeast is also capable of infecting other body areas.
Anti-yeast creams as well as some medicines work well in treating infections caused by yeasts.
Parasite is a germ that requires a host (another living being) for its survival. It lives within or on another living being for its food. In other words, parasites are unable to make their own food and, hence, draw their food from their hosts.
Generally, parasites are found in polluted water and contaminated food. They are able to enter the body of the host by sexual conduct or through the openings made by insect bites. It has been seen that infections by parasites are more common in the tropical and sub-tropical regions.
Some examples of diseases caused by parasitic infections include malaria, giardia and amoebic dysentery. Parasites also include tapeworms, threadworms and hookworms.
Though antibiotics are effective in treating diseases caused by bacteria, they cannot be said to be a "cure all" or "panacea" for all types of infections. They are only useful in treating infections caused by bacteria and also some types of parasites. Hence, it is clear that antibiotics are not useful in treating infections caused by viruses, yeasts and fungi. This means antibiotics will not have any effect on infections caused by viruses. The good news is that our immune system possesses the ability to cure many of the infections caused by bacteria. In other words, you do not need antibiotics to cure minor bacterial infections such as a throat or ear infection when the individual is in good health.
However, when you are suffering any specific serious bacterial infection it is often necessary that you take antibiotics - for instance pneumonia, meningitis or a kidney infection. In such situations, antibiotics are often considered to be life-saving medicines. When you are ill, your physician will check you thoroughly and say whether you are suffering from any serious ailment. He will also suggest if you need to take antibiotics.
While antibiotics work well to treat infections by bacteria and sometimes also those by some parasites, they also come with specific potential problems. Hence, it is not always wise to pop in antibiotics suspecting that you may be enduring a bacterial infection. Before taking antibiotics you need to be sure that you actually need to take the medicine because they may cause some side effects. However, they are a necessity when you have a serious bacterial infection.
Antibiotics may cause several adverse side effects, for instance rashes, allergies, nausea and diarrhea. These side effects of taking antibiotics are very common. However, most of the side effects of taking antibiotics are not serious in nature. Nevertheless, there are reports of some people breathing their last owing to severe allergic reactions after taking antibiotics.
Another potential problem with antibiotics is that these medicines can eliminate the beneficial normal "defence" bacteria that survive in our bowel and vagina, protecting us from various infections. When these �beneficial� bacteria are killed or inactivated we may be infected by pathogens more easily. For instance, in the absence of the normal �defence� bacteria we may unknowingly allow development of thrush.
At the same time, excessive use of antibiotics is also harmful for this may lead to some mutation in some bacteria, thereby becoming resistant to a number of antibiotics. As a result, these antibiotics will not work when you might require them very much. For instance, metacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (also known as MRSA) is one bacterium that has over a period of time become resistant to various antibiotics and, therefore, it is extremely difficult to treat infections caused by this bacterium. There are more such examples. A number of bacteria turn out chemicals known as enzymes like extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs). These enzymes also make the bacteria further resistant to several antibiotics. The more you use antibiotics, the problem of antibiotic resistance becomes greater.
However, if your doctor prescribes antibiotics to treat any bacterial infection, it is vital that you take the medicines as your physician has directed in the prescription and also to take the complete course of the treatment. Often this means that you should continue taking the antibiotics as your physician has directed till the time you feel better. Your inability to complete a course of treatment with antibiotics or your failure to take the medicines as directed by your physician can, in fact, lead to the development of resistant antibiotics. In other words, the antibiotics prescribed by your physician will not work on you when you take them next.
In addition, a number of antibiotics may also interact with other medicines that you may be taking already. When this happens you may suffer from reactions or the effectiveness of one treatment may be reduced. Hence, before your physician prescribes antibiotics for your condition, you ought to tell them about your medical history and all the medications you are already taking to treat some other health condition.

We reported earlier that the Senate had voted to move forward on the gun bill, known as the "Safer Communities Act." My colleague Jennifer Van Laar provided the text and some initial analysis of the Senate gun bill, earlier this week, and it includes some big concerns over red flag laws.
The Senate just passed the bill, 65-33, with some Republicans obviously helping the Democrats pass the bill in a very bad move.
1) The Senate has approved the bill to curb firearms violence. The vote was 65-33.
All senators who caucus with the Democrats voted yes.
All nays came from Republicans.
The bill now goes to the House to sync up tomorrow.
— Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) June 24, 2022
It now goes to the House.
2) If approved, this will mark the first time since November 30, 1993 that Congress has approved a major piece of firearms legislation. In 1993, Congress okayed "The Brady Bill." It required background checks and a waiting period to purchase handguns.
— Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) June 24, 2022
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer celebrated.
Schumer: As the author of the Brady Bill from 1994—the last [major] legislative effort to fight gun violence in Congress—I'm pleased that this moment has finally come, and that we're finally taking meaningful action to keep our communities safe.
— Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) June 24, 2022
A very bad move that is going to impact gun rights.
As this is breaking news, RedState will provide updates as they become available.

Orthodox Man Beaten In Apparent Hate Crime On Bedford Avenue, Gravesend Neck Road
An Orthodox Jewish man was assaulted on Friday by a gang of thugs following Sabbath services, Councilman Michael Nelson has told Sheepshead Bites.
In a press release expressing shock and outrage over a recent spate of anti-Semitic vandalism in Jewish communities across Brooklyn, Nelson described the assault that happened in his own district. In the release, Nelson was joined by other local elected condemning the attack.
The NYPD's Hate Crimes Unit is investigating the assault.
Here's the relevant portion of the release:
"The man was brutally assaulted simply because he is a Jew." A band of 5 or 6 perpetrators accosted the individual on Bedford Avenue & Neck Road in Sheepshead Bay, called him a "Kike" and a "dirty Jew," and then two of them proceeded to pummel him with their fists leaving the man injured with a black eye and other contusions.
"I am speechless that such acts of hate and violence, which harken back to what the Nazis did, are occurring right here in communities that boldly pride themselves on their rich diversity," Councilman Nelson asserted. "We are a civilized society and must not tolerate hate crimes of any kind," stressed Nelson. "Anti-Semitism is not just an attack on members of the Jewish faith; it is an attack on everyone. We must therefore ALL stand united to tackle this problem in a way that discourages such reprehensible, cowardly acts," Nelson asserted.
"I will not tolerate this kind of behavior in our neighborhood. I am pleased that the NYPD has agreed to our demand for increase patrols and thank Shomrim for stepping up their presence, as well. We are going to both nip this in the bud and bring these thugs to justice," said Councilman Lew Fidler.
"These incidents are under investigation by the NYPD Hate Crimes Unit," stated Councilman Michael C. Nelson.
"I am appalled by this reprehensible action of Anti-Semitism. This bias incident will not be tolerated, and we ask individuals with information to please come forward and call the Confidential NYPD TIPS LINE at 1-800-577-TIPS," said Assemblywoman Helene Weinstein upon hearing about Friday night's attack.

MCAD and Music Make Math Cool31 Oct, 2007 By: Cadalyst Staff
Some companies are launching their own educational initiatives to ensure that future generations include qualified engineers.
Over the past few years, several major MCAD vendors have become involved in introducing students at various levels to design and engineering as a context for generating more interest in math and science and why they matter. Here I will mention just a few.
The CAD Academy
Although it currently is still in the early stages of implementation, the CAD Academy is a collaboration of industry professionals, vendors, and educators whose goal is to inspire a new generation of engineers and architects through the implementation of software, such as the SolidWorks Education Edition 2007-2008. Cofounded by SolidWorks, The CAD Academy is a secondary and postsecondary pre-engineering and pre-architectural program. Students emerge from the program prepared to take the Certified SolidWorks Associate (CSWA) exam, demonstrating competencies in design and engineering principles.
According to Marie Planchard, SolidWorks director of worldwide education markets, "The CAD Academy is designed for school districts that need to increase opportunities for all students to apply math and science in relevant and compelling ways. It's a desperate need, as documented in Rising Above the Gathering Storm and other studies showing that we in North America have a lot of ground to make up to sustain our competitiveness." If you weren't aware, Rising Above the Gathering Storm is a National Academies report focused on reclaiming our country's prominence in science and technology. It calls for tripling the number of students who pass advanced placement or similar math and science exams by 2010.
The CAD Academy intends to address that need by helping North American middle- and high-school students explore technology-oriented career paths through projects that promote an understanding and appreciation of science, engineering, and mathematics.
Autodesk Design Academy
The Autodesk Design Academy is a comprehensive pre-engineering and cross-discipline program developed specifically for secondary schools. The curriculum meets national standards and helps students become familiar with the fundamentals of engineering and design processes using Autodesk software. The Design Academy curriculum engages students in projects and helps students develop STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) skills.
Autodesk also recently launched its Autodesk Academic Certification Program for secondary and postsecondary students. The program enables students to earn a credential in recognition of their knowledge of specific Autodesk software applications. Schools can combine the certification program with the Autodesk Design Academy.
The Autodesk academic certification program offers a proficiency examination that assesses student readiness for certification and can help educators determine what level of instruction is best for individual students. When a student passes a certification exam, he or she receives an electronic certificate and can be listed in an Autodesk-maintained database of certified users and experts.
The Rock & Roll–Math Connection
Another company that strongly supports education is Maplesoft, which develops interactive mathematical software with a suite of tools intended to transform the way mathematic concepts and principles are used. Maplesoft's commitment to education is evident with its student edition software for helping complete assignments, Student Help Center, and summer internship program.
I recently received an excellent real-life story from Tom Lee, vice-president of market development at Maplesoft, about how rock and roll might actually influence science and math education in a positive way. Below is what Lee had to say:
On August 23, 2007, the universe finally began unfolding as it should. Brian May, the famed rock guitarist from the band Queen earned his PhD in physics ("Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud") from the prestigious Imperial College in London. Why should we care? Simple. For years, I, among countless others, have been publicly lamenting how difficult it is to motivate our youth to pursue studies and careers in science and engineering. Math just ain't cool, cry the young people. Well, we now have a major rebuttal to that mantra.
Brian May is not just cool; he is arguably the coolest among the guitar heroes of our time. And he's a true renaissance man. Not only did he pen the mega anthems such as "We Will Rock You," but he also earned his success through his brain. Anyone who has ever turned on a radio since 1975 will immediately recognize the May sound -- an unearthly howl that sparked countless college parties for several generations. But he didn't pay for this sound -- he designed it. Using his background in physics, May applied science to engineer the finest sound in guitardom and blessed his homemade guitar with it. That's a true guitar (and engineering) hero.
He is not alone. Tom Scholz, the guitarist from the band Boston, holds a master's degree in engineering from MIT. He too was able to translate his education to his music and, like May, engineered a unique sound and smartness to his music. He later went on to invent the Rockman device, which was one of the first mobile guitar amps for use with headphones.
I'd love to see a poster of Brian May in a classic rock pose, with a well-articulated, accessible treatment of the signal-processing that went into the design of his guitar. Is anyone in the industry or academia thinking at this level? Or are we still stuck on how to motivate teenagers with pictures of Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer? If the only way we'll compete against the literally millions of engineers emerging from developing economies is through creativity and innovation, we need to start paying serious attention to this creativity thing. Perhaps guitar heroes are part of the solution and not the problem.
I'm really glad that Tom Lee shared this story because it creates a basis in reality that I -- and more important, students -- can relate to. On a more personal level, despite some of my friends and colleagues questioning my sanity, I've volunteered to be a math tutor at the local high school this year. I got involved because I have long felt that math literacy has become as important as literacy in reading and writing and will only increase in importance in the future. I try to use my background in mechanical engineering to frame my own context for conveying math concepts, and I'm satisfied with how well I have been received.
MCAD as a technology and its various vendors have had the power and opportunity to greatly influence the educational community for a long time. Even so, I am always happy when announcements are made that further the cause of education through greater levels of participation. Admittedly, the various participating vendors are attempting to appeal to a future generation of customers; however, their commitment seems genuine and is vital support for future engineers.

No one likes to hang out in their laundry room. Even on its quietest of days, it is a space that speaks to work and not relaxation. But what if you could make it a bit lighter, brighter, and even more productive? What if you could create a space to do more than just laundry?
Here are three electrical ideas to help turn this space into so much more than merely a laundry room.
Under-cabinet lighting
One suggestion for getting the most out of your laundry room is to get light into new places. Nothing makes a space feel brighter, cleaner, and more welcoming than adequate lighting.
Your cabinets, however, often cast shadows in the spaces you need to see the most – the back corners of your countertops.
Installing one of a variety of under-cabinet lights can help.
String lights provide a bright, even lighting across the entire surface. Spot lights can add a dramatic flair to the space, perfect for display but less useful for hobbies.
Visit a local cabinetry store for ideas.
Motion detector light
When you walk in to your laundry room, frequently you have your arms full. Whether it's a laundry basket (or three) or the sleeping bags from the weekend campout, you don't have a hand free to turn on the light.
Why should you have to?
The laundry room is a perfect place for a motion detector attached to your light. If you are in the room, you will be moving, and if you're leaving the room, why shouldn't it help by turning out the lights for you?
And most motion detector lights have an adjustable timer switch so you can be sure you are saving energy too.
Extra outlets
We've all had the experience of working on a project on the laundry room counter and needing one more outlet. Or, just as likely, thinking about doing a project there and realizing you don't have the electricity you need to do the job well.
Why not install an outlet where you need it the most. And, since it is a laundry room and water is naturally part of the equation, be sure to get one with a built-in ground fault interruption circuit, so an accident won't turn into a tragedy.
If you're an experienced handy homeowner, these are fixes you can attempt yourself. If not, the friendly experts at Price Electric can help you build a more functional and inviting laundry room. Call us today!

How about those bonus 60s yesterday afternoon? I often don't like to bust a forecast but I can't complain when temperatures soar higher than originally expected, especially this time of year!
Even though we were colder today, tomorrow will be a much different story. We'll switch to the winds to the south early tomorrow morning and bring back mostly sunny skies. This should in turn help push afternoon temperatures well into the 50s. It will be breezy at… times, but still a nice afternoon ahead. Get outside!
Showers and thunderstorms will likely develop ahead of a disturbance after midnight tomorrow night. A few of the storms could produce some small hail with the higher threat for larger hail currently to the southwest of the area. We'll continue to monitor over the next 24 hours.
Next week we begin a much more active pattern but thankfully our temperatures will be staying closer to normal, if not above. I'll have more on that tomorrow evening.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
