"A popular feature of John Henry IIes Dreamland railway.Dreamland was the 15 inch gauge
miniature railway. This postcard from 1921 shows the first locomotive "Prince Edward of Wales" which came from Rhyl miniature railway having previously operated at White City in London. The Rhyl concern also supplied six carriages and the station and track side equipment. The Locomotive, a class 10 built by Bassett - Lowke in 1908 was joined in 1928 by "Billie", a product of Albert Barne's Albion Works at Rhyl. Barnes being the engineer of the Rhyl railway. Both locomotives ran in concert until the War, by which time "Prince Edward of Wales" was worn out. After the conflict, "Billie" worked alongside with the other locomotive left parked in the station for effect. A petrol locomotive entered service in the mid 1960's to work alongside "Billie" and "Prince Edward of Wales" was sold in 1968. The line was closed in 1979." Mick Twyman 2000 Bygonne Margate page 49.

WASHINGTON (CNS) — Saying "religious freedom in America has suffered years of unprecedented erosion," the U.S. Catholic bishops have posted an online letter for Catholics to send to President Donald Trump urging him to sign an executive order promoting religious freedom.
The letter, found at www.votervoice.net/USCCB/Campaigns, says the president can "restore the federal government's respect for the religious freedom of individuals and organizations" with an executive order that establishes a "government-wide initiative to respect religious freedom." Individuals can sign the letter and hit a link to submit it to Trump.
A leaked draft version of a potential religious freedom order was circulating in the media and among federal staff and advocacy groups at the end of January. When White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer was asked about the draft Jan. 30, he said he would not get "ahead of the executive orders that we may or may not issue." He noted that there have been a lot of executive actions and "a lot of things that the president has talked about and will continue to fulfill, but we have nothing on that front now."
A White House official told ABC News that the leaked draft on religious freedom is one of hundreds of circulating orders that were either written by the transition team or the White House.
Although Spicer did not elaborate on the leaked document, he told reporters that freedom of religion in the U.S. should mean "people should be able to practice their religion, express their religion, express areas of their faith without reprisal."
"And I think that pendulum sometimes swings the other way in the name of political correctness," he added.
The four-page draft has raised concerns among those who said it would legalize discrimination and was too far-reaching, but University of Notre Dame law professor Richard Garnett said in an email to Catholic News Service that the "critics are dramatically overstating" what the order can do.
The draft states that "Americans and their religious organizations will not be coerced by the federal government into participating in activities that violate their consciences." It also notes that people and organizations do not "forfeit their religious freedom when providing social services, education or health care." It cites the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which states that government "shall not substantially burden a person's exercise of religion" unless that burden "is the least restrictive means to further a compelling governmental interest."
The U.S. bishops, who have made religious liberty a priority, have not released a statement on potential executive action on religious freedom by Trump but in the online letter available for Catholics to sign stressed such an order should include some of the following measures:
— Relief from the Affordable Care Act's contraceptive mandate. Currently, the mandate — issued by the federal Department of Health and Human Services as part of the implementation of the health care law — requires most religious employers to provide coverage of artificial birth control for their employees even if the employer is morally opposed to such coverage. There is a very narrow exemption for churches.
— Preservation of tax-exempt status for nonprofit groups that hold beliefs based on marriage and human sexuality.
— The ability of religious organizations that partner with the federal government to act according to their beliefs regarding marriage, human sexuality and the protection of human life at all stages.
— The ability of religiously affiliated child welfare providers to provide adoption, foster or family support services for children that coincide with their religious beliefs.
— Conscience protections about abortion in the individual health insurance market.
The bishops' letter said any executive order on religious freedom should make it clear that this freedom should not just be about a person's ability to freely worship but should include "the ability to act on one's beliefs."
"It should also protect individuals and families who run closely held businesses in accordance with their faith to the greatest extent possible," the letter said.

One Response
The real religious freedom issue, right now, today, is the discriminatory treatment of muslims Americans and our rejection of muslim refuges fleeing deadly situations abroad. That issue should be top of the list, yet I see no mention of it at all. Frankly, in the face of such life-and-death religious freedom issues, to waste political capital on objections to birth control is not only hugely self-referential but downright unChristian.
I will not be signing that letter. Talk about screwed up priorities.

About 2 years ago I moved to Hettinger North Dakota and was lucky enough to get an an interview/job offer for the paraprofessional position at Hettinger Public School. I had no idea what was in store for me there but I was sure willing to give it my best. I was surprised when I came to see to an establishment full of very kind, hardworking teachers and staff. Over the last 2 years this job has been full of challenges, excitement, and most importantly; inspiration. I could not be more thankful for every opportunity this job has given me.
This year I received another great opportunity to take on the role of technology administrator. With this new role, I was given the task of maintaining their website. Given my background, I was more than excited to do so. While the website will always be changing and updating, we just made it live early October. Definitely worth a peek.

Hugo Chávez of Venezuela is angry over the death of Muammar Gaddafi, he praised him as a great fighter, a revolutionairy and martyr. "They have assassinated him, this is another scandal" so Chávez says.
Chávez has supported Gaddafi as early as febuary this year, according to Chávez, NATO used this as an excuse to get control over Libya's oil. "The saddest part is that the empire and its allies in the quest for world domination have put the world on fire," said Chavez, which he referred to the United States.
Look at how Chávez puts it into words, he clearly refers to a NWO, and how they got rid of a NWO opponent.. Look under TAG# The Gaddafi Chronicles for more on the fall and death of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, and his sons.

While I'm waiting for Espen to let me use Olga again, I'm writing this. Olga is one of the servers in our data centre. In case you wondered.
Wedding Crashers wasn't that good. Actually, I'm not sure if it was even worth the money. Going to the movies is rather expensive these days, and because of that some movies just fall short compared to the money you have to pay to see them. Wedding Crashers is one of those movies. Sure, it was funny at times, but not funny-funny. Go see The Island instead. I guess you can't catch it on the big screen anymore, go rent it instead. Excellent movie, exactly my style.
So, how are things? Same old, same old – but with some exceptions. Tonight I'm going for a eleven hour session at work, I'm trying to finish something so that I can have a normal eight hour day tomorrow, which is a good thing. We've just employed a new guy, seems like a smart fella and hopefully he'll be able to take some of the load off me and Espen. In other words: Business as usual at work.
In my social life, however – to the extent that I have one – you find the exception. Strange things are happening: The Girl is starting to have a very positive effect on me.
Espen is done with Olga. Now it's my turn to play with the old lady.

The seminar will introduce Luce Irigaray's philosophy by first situating her work in a broader context of European thought, especially vis-à-vis phenomenology, poststructuralism and postmodernism. Focusing on the ontological status of sexual difference in her thought and writing, the seminar aims to reconsider the sexuate nature of communication and its social-cultural ramifications. Examining ethical aspects of Irigaray's account of language, we will revisit western tradition of textual fetishism and explore its political legacies and implications.

London December 2014
FC Business Intelligence has commissioned a global Internet of Things industry survey to discover which companies are the real power players and innovators in the Internet of Things to get concrete answers to what companies are having a real impact in the IoT space.
With the global Internet of Things revenues estimated to reach $756.8 billion by the end of 2014, (VisionGain) it still remains unclear which companies are driving the market forward and where innovation is coming from.
"We're at a time where companies investing in the IoT have started to define their strategy" says Victoria Lloyd, Head of IoT at FC Business Intelligence. "As such, it's a perfect time to find out which companies are really driving this industry forward. But it's important that we don't get convinced by clever marketing and that we get answers from those working in the industry about which companies are really making a difference to IoT"

Using the Internet to send print jobs to another computer that has a printer connected to it is usually more comfortable than trying to install the printer as a network device in a network. Share Printer software makes it as easy as possible to send a print job to another computer and connected printer. It usually only means that both computers have to run the same software to share the printer.
Samer recently discovered the software Printer Share which advertises itself as the ultimate no-brainer remote printing solution. One advantage of Printer Share is that the development company provides clients for Windows, Macintosh and Linux. The only requirement is an Internet connection on both computers to send the date.
Speaking of which. The company that developed Printer Share mentioned on their website that all data is encrypted before it is send which might make this printer software interesting for smaller businesses with at least two separate offices.
Sharing a printer could not be much easier. Both clients download the Printer Share software from the Internet and install it on their computer. Each has to register an account which will assign a unique username to it. The setup will also create a virtual printer called PrinterShare. If the user wants to print a document remotely he would simply send the document to the virtual printer which in turn asks the user where he wants to print it providing there is more than one remote location that is sharing a printer.
Any printers that are connected to a system can be shared by the system's owner. This is one mandatory step if the owner wants to share a printer with other users.
The service is offered as a paid and free service. The main difference is that a cover page is printed when using the free service which contains advertisement. This is not the case in the paid version which however costs $19.95 per month.
This software might appeal most to users and businesses who print papers on a daily basis. Users who have no need for a printer and print documents once or twice a month could as easily send the documents to the other computer owner per mail or use some other sort of file transfer and initiate the print job that way.Advertisement

This is a weird review to start on. Historically I've been an action figure collector and a fairly mainstream one at that, so this isn't an ideal representation of my main interests. It's always been G.I. Joes, Superheroes and Sci-Fi stuff for as long as I can remember. A couple years back I discovered the Kidrobot site and realized there was an art toy movement starting to emerge. While I find a lot of it lacking good character design or creative concept, a few pieces seemed to float to the top. Strangely enough these were plush. The bizarre, simple characters from Friends With You were appealing and, yes, cute. They seem to be self aware regarding their cuteness and didn't over do it with too much pink, stupid smiles or big dough eyes. Ugly Dolls are another early example of this formula.
I first heard of Monster Factory while checking the Magic Pony website. Magic Pony regularly has art shows and product launches and Monster Factory were having an event celebrating their latest series of Monsters. I followed some links, did some googling and found their site. Their monsters took all the best aspects of modern plush, mixed them together and pushed it to new heights. Being so entrenched in action figures it took me a while to actually take the plunge and buy some.
Finally I used Valentines Day as an excuse, buying a heart themed character for
It was also very inspiring to see a company producing toys, by hand, in
Even though these are hand made locally, they have gone to great care to make them feel very professional. They come with two tags affixed to them. One is a general Monster Factory tag and the other is a character specific tag with an illustration of the character on one side and a short write up on the other.
I snipped these off but kept them in a safe place. They also have the standard tags sewn into the seam, one is fabric with the logo on one side and other side has info on the fabric, "made in" and washing instructions. The other is a coarser larger tag, which I found to be quite ugly. I carefully snipped this off each of them. It had no relevant info from what I can remember, just that it was made from entirely new materials. I remember reading somewhere that they have been approved by toy safety standards, so these tags are most likely included for legal reasons. I kept the logo tag because I see it as a signature by the creators and would feel strange removing it. Another interesting detail is that when you pick them up from their studio they give them to you in a clear plastic bag. Whether this was out of convenience or not I'm not sure, but it is a smart way to further advertise your product
Mr. Jefferson was the first monster to catch my attention. As you can see in the pictures he has a very simple body structure. There's two structural choices that I find interesting. They chose to have his arms as separate pieces of fabric instead of it just being extensions of his main body shapes. This makes them seem more significant and strong and encourages the handler to hold him by the arms. I also like how his mouth is hinted at with just a seam and a small pink tongue is stitched into it. The tie is of course what really sets this character apart. I have a personal distaste for ties, so seeing a goofy monster in a tie, somewhat making fun of it, is satisfying somehow. The tie is tacked at the back and sides, but tends to ride up in the front making some awkward folds in the fabric at the side tacks. It's minor, but I would have like to see the tie tacked in more places to avoid this. His colour is also a very mature choice. This is something that runs through most of their line. They could have gone for a vibrant green, but they chose something just slightly off and unexpected, which is refreshing. It shows confidence in their design to not rely on the obvious.
Colin is apparently a fan favorite and I can see why. He seems to have the most function and the most complex structure of all the monsters. He's posed in a sitting position which makes a nice contrast to a lot of the other characters. His hoodie is fully functional apart from not being removable. The hood can be pulled down revealing a bald head and his hands fit snugly in his front pocket or can hang at his side. While this is hardly an action feature, providing these functions seems like it gives the character some depth. Most other toys of this sort would have those tacked in place, but they go the extra mile. Another subtlety I only noticed after looking at him for a while is that his torso is slightly twisted so that he isn't perfectly symmetrical. I find this adds just a little bit of life to what could have been a fully static pose. It's a detail that shows a lot of thought was put into him. My only gripe is that he has a flat spot that connects his butt and his back. This shape makes him want to roll back on most surfaces. It's a minor issue that can be compensated for with a little squishing.
Emmitt is one of the larger monsters and is clearly quite a bit of work to produce. He has a lot of different elements to him, from the tuft of hair, the pleather mask to the tattoos. I'm not sure
how they got the tattoos on there, but they seem to be very durable. I really like how he can hold Kevin and Dave under his arms. I doubt this was done on purpose, but its fun and creates a type of group dynamic that I find satisfying when collecting. I have one major crit with Emmitt,
even though he already has a variety of materials, I think he needs one more. His tank top is the same sort of material as the rest of him. While this works well for Colin's hoodie, I find it distracting and unconvincing as a tank top. A regular cotton t-shirt material or even a knit, like a standard "beater", would have been much more satisfying. Also instead of having a standard
seam between his flesh and the shirt, a ribbing similar to Colin's would have separated the shirt better and made it more convincing. I'm sure they had their reasons for not doing this, he is already one of the more expensive monsters, but I think that one more detail would have elevated him from a good to an excellent.
Bradley seems to be a successful experiment with complex form. I'm not a seamstress, but I'm amazed with the planning and calculations or trial and error that must have went into his pattern. If you follow the seams they go in unexpected directions to achieve a very round fluid form. I'm having trouble putting into words his appeal. I think it's the large round head with the features squished to the top, the contrast of the white hair with the deep red body and pursed pink lips...he just looks cocky, or stubborn, or annoying. Most likely someone I wouldn't like in real life. The colour choices are bold and wouldn't have worked with some other monsters, but I think it compliments his cocky personality quite nicely. He doesn't really need it but I could see him wearing a vest, as is he feels a bit naked. One complaint is that his feet slope upwards which makes him want to tip forward, but I usually have him behind another monster that he can lean on. Despite the nakedness and tippy-ness Bradley is one of my top two favorites, I almost bought him before I bought Colin.
Owen is a nice simple design that adds some variety to the group. His basic form is similar to Emmitt, with the big upper body and ape-like arms, but his form is a little more streamlined and extreme with very few seams and much smaller feet. He is also a noticeably different scale. He's about half as tall as the others but is bigger and bulkier than Kevin and Dave. There's not much to say about Owen, he doesn't have any outstanding qualities, but he's a solid design, I can't think of any possible improvements. He even stands extremely well because he can lean forward on his fists. I bought him to add some variety in scale and colour and he does that nicely.
Kevin and Dave are almost identical styles, which is something I wanted to avoid, but they make a nice little pairing, so I couldn't resist. Something about Kevin being the only small one felt too lonely. There's two major differences between the two; shape and colour. Dave is a blue/grey and Kevin is a deep yellow. Dave's shape is a little more kidney bean-like and Kevin is a little rounder. Their arms are sewn into the seams at the side of their body but this doesn't feel cheap because their arms are so small. I'm glad they didn't go this route with their legs, instead they have the sections extend from the front and back panels. This makes them more tubular and creates a nice fleshy crease when they're sitting, My only complaint is that their toes tend to point too far backwards and look awkward. A little bit of twisting can lessen the extremity of the angle. Another nice detail that you can't see from the product shots are little tattoos of their first initial on their butts. Even though the website clearly states their size, I was shocked and pleased to see how small they were. They feel like little kids and the others are the grown ups. Like Owen they add great variety to the group.
A crit for all the characters who have whites in their eyes; I'm not sure why they chose to use dark stitching to attach them. I'm aware that this is some sort of plush esthetic, Ugly Dolls also handle their eyes in this way, but I'm not sure why. It doesn't bother me to the point of distraction, but I do think they'd look slightly better with white stitches.
A factor I didn't talk about but that you can see in the scans is the way that they create vague personalities for each individual. This gives you just enough info to start forming a feeling or attachment to the character in your head. One of their more popular characters, Kevin, is probably as successful as he is because they've pushed his character a little further. This was done through a series of sketches posted on the website from his sketchbook and a music video depicting his vivid imagination. All of this and much more, including a multitude of other monsters can be seen and purchased at www.monsterfactory.net.

There are moments in my photography career where the "stars align", everything is as it should be. Last week I had that shoot. The evening was beautiful, the people were beautiful, the kids were filled with the excitement of summer (which I love) and the parents/grandparents could relax and let the shoot unfold. The light was just amazing and I could not be happier with the images I got of this gorgeous family. Thanks McCoys for a great evening!!!

This triggers the gag reflex and its accompanying feeling of nausea. Tropisetron selectively blocks the excitation of the presynaptic 5-HT 3 receptors on peripheral testosterone enanthate vs cypionate neurons involved in causing this reflex, and may also provide additional direct action on 5-HT 3 receptors located in CNS and mediate the effect on the vagus nerve area postrema. It is believed that these effects are the basis of the mechanism of antiemetic action tropisetron.
The duration of Navobana is 24 hours, it can be used 1 time per day.
When using Navobana extrapyramidal side effects were observed.
Bioavailability depends on the dose: after dosing at a dose of 5 mg, it reaches about 60% and increases (up to 100%) after administration at a dose of 45 mg. The values of bioavailability and terminal half-life in children are similar to the corresponding figures observed in healthy volunteers. Metabolism tropisetron hydroxylation is carried out by a 5, 6 or 7 positions of the indole ring, followed by reaction with the formation of glucuronide conjugation or sulfate and elimination in urine or bile (ratio of metabolites in the urine and feces of 5: 1). Tropisetron Active metabolites in 5-HT s receptors is significantly reduced, and they do not participate in the implementation of the pharmacological action of the drug. The metabolism of tropisetron is connected with the genetically determined sparteine polymorphism metabolism / debrizohina. It is known that about 8% of those Caucasians have a low metabolic rate sparteine / debrizohina.
In repeated Navobana appointments at doses exceeding 10 mg 2 times a day, liver enzyme system saturation can occur, tropisetron involved in metabolism, which may lead to a dose-dependent increase in the plasma concentration of tropisetron. However, even testosterone enanthate vs cypionate in those with low metabolic tropisetron Navobana use of such doses did not increase above tropisetron concentration values tolerable plasma.Therefore, when applying Navobana at the recommended dose of 5 mg 1 time a day for 6 days cumulation tropisetron is not considered to be clinically significant.
Individuals with high metabolic half-life tropisetron (beta phase) is about 8 hours; patients with low metabolic tropisetron, this rate may be extended to 45 hours.
Tropisetron total clearance of about 1 l / min and the renal clearance is about 10% of this value. Patients with low metabolic tropisetron total clearance is reduced to 0.1-0.2 l / min and the renal clearance value is not changed. Reducing extrarenal clearance is responsible for approximately 4-5-fold lengthening half-life and a 5-7-fold increase in the values of the area under "concentration-time" curve (AUC). The value C max and volume of distribution in these patients do not differ from those in patients with high levels of metabolic tropisetron. Patients with low metabolic tropisetron proportion of unchanged tropisetron, is output in the urine is higher than that of patients with high metabolic tropisetron.
- Prevention of nausea and vomiting arising from cancer chemotherapy
- Elimination of nausea and vomiting that occur in the postoperative period
- Prevention of nausea and vomiting that occur after intra-abdominal gynecological surgery in order to achieve optimal value ratio "benefit / risk" should use the drug in a limited contingent of patients, namely – in with a history of an indication of the development of postoperative nausea and vomiting.
- Hypersensitivity to tropisetron, other 5-HT antagonists s receptors or any other components of the drug.
- Pregnancy.
- Lactation
Precautions should be taken when applying Navobana in patients with cardiac arrhythmias and conduction, as well as in patients who are being treated with antiarrhythmic agents or beta-blockers, as the existing experience and Navobana simultaneous application of narcosis in such cases is limited.
Pregnancy and lactation Since research applications Navobana in pregnant women have not been conducted, it should not be used during pregnancy.
It is not known whether tropisetron into breast milk in humans is excreted, so patients taking Navoban should not breast-feed.
Dosing and Administration The solution for intravenous injection is administered as an infusion (after pre-dissolving) or intravenously slowly (at least 1 min). The solution, if necessary, can be taken by mouth, pre-diluted contents of the vial of orange juice or cola (accept the prepared solution immediately after dilution).
The capsules are taken orally in the morning an hour before a meal with water.
Prevention testosterone enanthate vs cypionate of nausea and vomiting arising from cancer chemotherapy
. Children Recommended Navobana dose for children older than 2 years of age is 0.2 mg / kg; the maximum daily dose – 5 mg. On the first day, a short time before applying antineoplastic chemotherapy drug is administered intravenously. From the 2nd to the 6th day of the drug is prescribed orally at a dose rate of 0.2 mg / kg; the maximum daily dose – 5 mg.
Adults. Adults are encouraged to nominate Navoban as 6-day courses of 5 mg per day. On the first day of drug administered in / in for a short time prior to application of anticancer chemotherapy. From the 2nd to the 6th day of the drug is prescribed inside.
If the application of tropisetron is not achieved satisfactory antiemetic action to achieve clinical effect can be further appoint dexamethasone.
Elimination and prevention of nausea and vomiting that occur in the postoperative period

Angle Grinder Buying Guide
The best angle grinder is an extremely versatile tool that can be used for a variety of cutting, grinding and polishing jobs. This is why they are so commonly seen in construction sites, auto garages and workshops.
Angle grinders work through a rapidly rotating headgear to which you can affix a variety of interchangeable abrasive discs or blades. The fast rotation makes these super powerful tools that can cut through the most difficult materials such as metal, concrete and stone. However smaller grinders can also be used for more delicate work such as cutting ceramic tiles or polishing metal.
The best angle grinder can be used to cut metal, concrete, tiles and stone. It can also be used to grind away burrs left after cutting metal with various saws. In addition, grinders can also be used to clean rust and dirt from metal as well as to polish it. This versatile tool can even be used to remove paint and sharpen tools.
Angle grinders are so versatile because they come with a range of discs from diamond blades for tile cutting to wire brushes and abrasive discs for sanding, grinding and polishing.
refill. If you need to work for longer than a large tank might be the best air compressor for you.
The best angle grinder is a versatile and powerful tool. As they are so fast and powerful it is important to take great care when using them and always use safety protection including safety glasses.
Angle grinders come in a variety of sizes, but the most common sizes are 115mm and 230mm. All the grinders in this review are of the smaller size as that is ample for most home and DIY needs. However, if you are cutting large sheet material or slabs then the best angle grinder for you will be a larger machine. You can purchase a variety of discs for your grinder, depending on the task at hand. Just make sure when purchasing that you choose the right size for your tool.
A smaller 115mm angle grinder is lighter and easier, and is the best angle grinder for a beginner. They also provide a greater level of precision for both the amateur and expert user. A smaller grinder is the best angle grinder for jobs such as trimming tiles, sharpening blades and grinding and polishing intricate metal work.
Angle grinders also differ slightly in power. Here's what to look for when choosing the best angle grinder for you.
The power of a tool is measured in watts, and the higher the wattage the more power the tool will have. Larger tools will need a higher wattage to power them than smaller machines.
The second measurement to take into consideration is the no-load speed. This is the speed at which the disc rotates. The higher this number, the more efficient the grinder will be. Angle grinders usually have quite a high no-load speed as they are heavy duty tools designed to cut hard materials. While 1,200 may be enough in a drill, a load speed of around 10,000 or more is required for a powerful angle grinder.

How do you use an angle grinder to cut metal?
An angle grinder is the perfect tool for cutting metal. You will need a metal cut off wheel to complete the job. Never be tempted to use a stone cutting blade to cut metal as this could result in the metal breaking up and bits flying off. Once you have fitted your blade, secure the item you wish to cut and then apply the grinder to the metal with light pressure. The grinder will do the rest.
How do you use an angle grinder to cut tiles?
To cut ceramic tiles, stone or concrete you will need a stone cutting or diamond blade. Diamond blades are quite expensive, but they get the job done and last a while. If you attempt to cut very hard materials with inferior blades you will get poor results and probably ruin the blade. Diamond blades are available in 'wet' and 'dry' and as the name suggests one type can be used dry while the other needs to be kept wet while in use.
Cutting these materials is the same as cutting metal, however with items such as stone you may have to apply a little more pressure and the cutting will take a lot longer.
How do you use an angle grinder to clean, grind, sand and polish materials?
Angle grinders are ideal for cleaning, polishing and grinding. The secret is to use the right wheel for the job. Cleaning rust and dirt from metal can be done with a wire cup brush or wire wheel. Grinding discs are available for both metal and stone. Abrasive discs and sanding discs are also useful for cleaning up and smoothing work. Flap sanding discs are a particularly useful attachment as they can clean, sand and even grind a little. They are also very long lasting. Flap sanding discs are available in rough and smooth grits which allows you to get a very nice smooth finish. Finally, you can purchase polishing pads for your grinder to polish both metal and stone.

Can you use an angle grinder to sharpen blades?
You can use an angle grinder to roughly sharpen blades. You will need to attach the blade to a secure surface with a clamp and then carefully take the grinder to the edge of the blade to begin sharpening. If the blade you are sharpening begins to get hot, stop and let it cool down otherwise you can damage the blade.
What safety precautions should I take when using an angle grinder?
Angle grinders are fast and powerful tools and should be used with the utmost caution. Always wear a face shield and gloves when using one. In addition, always make sure the guard is properly adjusted for the job you are undertaking.
When using a new wheel, run it for a minute or two in a protected area to make sure it is not faulty or damaged.
Always orient the wheel so that it spins away from sharp edges. This will prevent the wheel from catching and throwing the work or causing the grinder to kickback.

Bungie seems to like cleaning themselves off from stepping in the mud only to open a small gate and fall into quicksand. That seems to be the company's motto these days in how they handle DLC, microtransactions and events in Destiny 2.
Following on the heels of the studio gating vanilla content from Destiny 2 in order to force players to buy the new Curse of Osiris expansion. That controversy came right off the heels of Bungie capping XP gains for hardcore grinders in order to force them to buy XP pots from the cash shop.
All these nagging machinations for skullduggery and grifting has soured the Destiny 2 community to the point of almost no return (then again, one would have thought that gamers would have learned their lesson with the XP caps). This latest controversy centers around the Eververse cash shop items that can be purchased with silver, which in turn is purchased with real money. The Eververse has been consistently and constantly updated with new armor, loot, and vehicles for players to purchase.
So why exactly is that a problem? Well, gamers realized that there's no longer a need to grind to unlock stuff when you can just pay real money for it. In fact, they've begun to notice that in-game vendors are selling fewer items while more of those same items seem to be appearing in the premium cash shop.
Destiny 1 was "Wow, nice ship from the raid, I need that(spams raid)" Destiny 2 is "Wonder how many engrams they had to buy to get that exotic ghost" no more incentive to play from seeing other guardians gear etc.
— Scott Abate (@BFLO_Gamer) December 23, 2017
As pointed out by Forbes, Bungie's game director, Christopher Barrett, took to Twitter to explain that they have heard the complaints loud and clear, writing across a series of tweets…
"For the upcoming Iron Banner and Faction Rally events, in addition to brand new seasonal armor Ornaments, we're adding new themed Sparrows, Ghosts, Ships, and Shaders to the reward pools. Also, early next year, we're refactoring Raid itemization across the game. The most difficult activities should be the most rewarding.
"And finally, I know we say it a lot, but we hear your feedback on Eververse. We both want our players to feel respected, and to deliver great content regularly to our community. Expect lots of discussion with the dev team and an update on our path forward after the new year.
"One more for good measure. We have short term and long term solutions for Vault space in the works, since I know that is another hot topic."
The issue reached peak fever when the hashtag #RemoveEververse began to trend, forcing Bungie to take notice of the complaints from their audience.
As some other articles have pointed out, cash shops are mostly tolerated in premium AAA $60 games so long as they don't impede or intrude on the gameplay. In this case, Destiny 2 fans recognized that the Eververse was constantly expanding and not with cosmetic items but with high-tier armor and gear that was previously restricted to high-level raids or special community events. Seeing the high-tier gear available for purchase with real money essentially says that you no longer have to play the game to get the good stuff, you just have to pay for it.
YouTuber Darkside Royalty Lore did a detailed breakdown of which items have been gated and which items have been removed from the standard vendors.
There's an unspoken honor code in gaming where higher tier equipment needs to be earned, not bought. Whenever you buy anything in a game that boosts your abilities, stats, or status, it's called "pay-to-win". In this case, gamers feel as if Bungie is impeding on the honor code and turning the game into something undesirable.
As Barrett, the Eververse issue will be addressed in an update set to arrive in early 2018 for the PC, PS4 and Xbox One versions of Destiny 2.

With gas prices slowly creeping once again to $4 for a gallon of regular, transportation is getting more expensive for us all. Even citizens who jet about town in taxis will start feeling the pain as cabs in the Miami area will start charging a $1 surcharge due to the recent rising fuel costs.
The Sun-Sentinel reports that the surcharge will go into effect this Thursday March 29. The surcharge is triggered anytime gas prices average more than $3.50 for more than three straight consecutive weeks.
The $1 surcharge may not be the last of it either. The charge could rise in increments of $0.50 depending on how high gas prices reach.

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) is a potentially lethal infection in patients with hematological diseases or following allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Early diagnosis is essential, as delayed treatment results in increased mortality. Recently, a lateral flow device (LFD) for the diagnosis of IPA was CE marked and made commercially available by OLM Diagnostics. We retrospectively analyzed bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALf) collected from adult hematology patients from 4 centers in The Netherlands and Belgium. Galactomannan was retested in all samples. All samples were applied to an LFD and read out visually by two independent researchers blinded to the diagnosis of the patient. All samples were also read out using a digital reader. We included 11 patients with proven IPA, 68 patients with probable IPA, 44 patients with possible IPA, and 124 patients with no signs of IPA (controls). In cases of proven IPA versus controls, sensitivity and specificity were 0.82 and 0.86 for visual readout and 0.82 and 0.96 for digital readout, respectively. When comparing patients with proven and probable IPA as cases versus controls, sensitivity and specificity were found to be 0.71 and 0.86, respectively. When excluding serum and BALf galactomannan as mycological criteria from the 2008 European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Invasive Fungal Infections Cooperative Group (EORTC)/Mycoses Study Group of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (MSG) consensus definitions, the LFD was less specific than galactomannan when comparing subjects with proven and probable IPA to controls (0.86 versus 0.96; P = 0.005) but had similar sensitivity (0.76 versus 0.85; P = 0.18). In conclusions, in this large study of the CE-marked LFD in BALf from hematology patients, the LFD had a good performance for the diagnosis of IPA.

Well this is interesting.
When sailing a wave board I often raise myself up on my toes as part of leaning forwards to weight the rail. But I don't do that to hook in unless I'm slogging and the rig is upright and I need to get into the harness lines to give my arms a break.
I use swinging lines because they are easier to hook into, and the longer the better up to a point.
The problem with rigid lines is that they can stick outwards from the boom at a higher point than if they drooped under their own weight. (Most people may not have thought of this)
I use a low hook on my waist harness and if the wind drops very light then I'm standing next to the mast which is almost upright – and then with a high boom the only way to get in and out of the line is to raise yourself on your toes or to jump.
However this is the exception – you shouldn't be jumping into your lines often, and if you are, try longer lines.
On topic, the key thing here is to know where the lines are without looking. The apex of the line has to locate with the hook and there are times when they are at different heights – because boom height varies with mast rake – so for sure sometimes you need to raise yourself up or lower yourself into the line by bending your knees.
Most people will do all this without thinking, but next time you are on the water take a look at what you actually do.
The key to good technique here is to avoid stalling the rig as you hook in.

I'm completely in love with my Lomokino and the little home movies you can make with it - In fact my only sadness about the video from Mum's birthday weekend is that I didn't shoot more so it could have been longer.
The beginning of the video is shot in Morecambe and the rest is in a little village called Heysham just along the coast from Morecambe which I loved. Also, I like to make people wave in videos it seems, haha.
This past weekend I spent with my parents and I didn't really take any photos - sometimes that happens, I just want to remember it rather than capture it and it was a great weekend to remember most definitely.
p.s. Hi Nanna and Grandad, I hope you can watch this video on your laptop :) let me know if you can't! Lots of love x

Salam and hi.
Suddenly, it's December. 2018 is just in a few days!
This year, a lot had happened. I went through so many ups and downs this year. 2017 is the year I turned 24. Throughout this year, although maaaany things had happened, I had mixed feelings on each event. I could say that this year is the year I hit rock bottom, but also the year that means a lot to me, a year that I am blessed a lot.
By the end of last year, I had decided to get married on July this year. So, throughout the earlier part of the year, I had always have mixed feelings. It was my last phase of being a single lady. In everything I do, I always had a mindset of "I better enjoy this now, as it may be difficult to do this when I get married". and without me realizing, I thought about it too much that it burdened me.
In everything I do, I would think about what would happen after I got married. Or if I really am getting married. Now I know why people said the engagement phase is a test. Because it was quite a tough one. Some days I would be positive, but on many days, I had many negative thoughts. Especially after consuming failed marriage stories on twitter, facebook, IIUM confession, etc.
Then I also arrived to a phase where I am adulting. I need to really be independent, was what I thought. Nobody told be to be reliable or dependable, but I just felt that I had to. Especially when it comes to financial issue because college and marriage requires a lot of money, and I didn't want to burden both my parents and my then fiancé. However, when I feel that I have failed being reliable, I would be so disappointed of myself.
The thoughts of being a disappointment, not being ready to get married, not being able to achieve what I wanted, brought me to depression. I could not focus on my study. My procrastination level had increased. On some days, I would only sit in my room and cry. I was too afraid of the future.
|went to Balai Cerap alone to clear my mind
On March, I met a counselor. I met him every week for a month. I sought for advice on how to overcome all of this. I followed the advice, and life began to be bright again. On the fourth week, I feel like I can finally focus on my study. So we decided to set that fourth appointment as the last.
However, things happened again and on May, I hit the final rock bottom. I could not focus on my study, I was too sensitive with people around me and it was very hard for me to accomplish my tasks. And I had tonnes of tasks to do! (especially because it was the end of the semester, so gotta wrap up for everything. assignment, research, organization, etc)
Long story short, I dropped one course because I couldn't do the assignments, failed two courses because I wasn't able to focus, but I got an A+ in one course. Haha. So in my CGPA, only points for 2 courses was being calculated. One failure and one A+. My GPA was super bad, and my CGPA was just at the border. My supervisor said that if I was just 0.1 less, I would be exempted from my study.
Oh, plus, this happens just two to one months before my marriage, so can you imagine the pressure?
and another plus, I only shared this with two or three people. I was too embarrased to tell most of my friends and family members about this. I did a lot throughout the years, so others may thought that I was living my life well. but in actuality, I was doing a lot just to distract my mind from the negative thoughts.
|Went to Starbucks alone, also to clear my mind, although this time I don't have much money left XD
Had a little sweet time here because the Caramel Latte is good, and the barista spelled my name correctly!
At the end of the semester, I met my supervisor a lot for consultation. Not only academics, but also personal one. Alhamdulillah, she gave me sooo many positive vibes. I felt like I could breathe again. So I started the semester break with a new energy and put everything that happened in that semester behind. I started to focus on my marriage, and spending time with my family.
Alhamdulillah, Allah ease sooo many things for my family and I just a month before my marriage. It felt a lot better. Allah ease things for us (my husband and I) also, so it was really a great sunshine, after the rain. I could be myself again. I was at the tip of happiness.
I got married to my husband on July 22, 2017. Then, had a reception on his side of the family on July 29. A week after, we had a honeymoon / company family trip at Tioman Island. Alhamdulillah, I was soo happy. Happier that now I have a husband and I can just share anything with him, anytime.
Sometimes, the past rock bottom would haunt me and I would suddenly cry again. But it wouldn't last long because my husband would comfort me.
I started the semester again, and this felt better than the previous one. Yes, the phase of rising again is quite challenging because I'm fighting against myself every time, but now I feel stronger because Allah has shown me that I have soo many blessings around me. In the past, I felt like I'm a burden to everyone including my parents, siblings friends and husband. Now, I realized that they loved me a lot; they, especially my parents and husband, would do anything just to make me happy.
I still have tasks to accomplish; tasks that I left behind last semester. and I know I still have to do them. I cannot just abandon them. But I don't know if I will be able to do them or not.. I hope I will, somehow, be able to do them, and do all my assignments and work, and do well in this semester.
Oh Allah, please lend me lots of strengths to finish all my work!
It feels good to write again, and it feels best that I could write what I had been holding in my mind. I hope by writing this, the negative thoughts would be thrown away, to give more space to the positive thoughts.
I initially wanted to write a post on 2017 summary, but suddenly it became a 2017 reflection. lol. I guess I had to do this first, before appreciating the blessings I have this year. So that the positive memories remain. I need to give credits to many people too, for making my life colourful.
That's all.

June Refresh: Week 2 Recap
Checking in here, for a Week 2 of June Refresh Recap!
As a reminder, here is what my June Refresh goals look like:
- Re-envision my eating habits to refresh my body
- Primarily plant-based
- No dairy
- No processed foods (5 ingredients or less)
- Avoid sugar
- Limited alcohol intake
- Ramp up my fitness
- Practice positive meditation and visualization techniques
In general, things are going well! Avoiding added sugar and dairy has surprisingly gotten A LOT easier. I thought I would miss these items more as time went on, but I feel good, lighter (not weight necessarily), but less weighed down by the food I'm eating. I am really struggling with recipe inspiration right now. Even with the availability of fresh food in the summer, I'm not feeling creative. I am going to take an hour early this week to do some meal brainstorming. Do you have any inspiring words or suggestions? How do you plan for meals during the week?
I had comprehensive blood work done with my primary care physician and was told that I have anemia. I've known this, it has come up on blood work results before. My doctor noted how it can become a serious issue if not addressed, which I didn't realize. Admittedly, I tried to take an iron supplement regularly for quite a while but struggled to commit. I eat a lot of leafy greens and aim for whole foods with high iron content, but it hasn't been enough. I finally found an iron supplement that isn't a huge pill, which helps. I've added a new life goal to take this regularly so that I see improvement at my follow-up appointment in a few months.
If you are feeling more tired than usual or have an awareness of your heart beating faster than normal, these are signs of anemia. I urge you to get checked for it, especially if you haven't had blood work done in awhile. P.S. This is not medical advice, I'm not a doctor. Just suggesting to keep your health in check!
We are finishing up week 12 of Kayla Itsine's BBG. It has been a great full-body workout that Michael and I do together, and we've enjoyed it. I have been slacking on my additional cardio. Running the steps 20x a few times a week was a lofty goal and I haven't met it each week. I think it's good to be realistic with yourself, but I do want to incorporate more cardio. We are going to work on that next week. We also will restart the 12 weeks of Kayla Itsine's BBG (round 2). It is a 28-minute workout that feels holistic in that it works your whole body throughout the week. Each week I feel stronger and I really love that.
I'm signed up for three spin classes in the next few weeks at my favorite cycle studio, Boho Cycle, in Richmond. Excited for this!
Well, nothing new here. I am STRUGGLING to take time for myself to be quiet and meditate. I feel a constant state of busyness and I am craving a slowness that seems unreachable.
Did you set any goals this month, or for the summer? How is it going for you? I love hearing from you!

Tadge Juechter, the Corvette program's longtime chief engineer, casually dismissed speculation about a mid-engine C8 Chevrolet Corvette "Zora" on John McElroy's "Autoline After Hours" last week.
Juechter and I were guests on the show, and I asked him about something I saw just days earlier during an episode of Velocity's "AmeriCARna" that featured what it billed as a sneak peek of a possible mid-engine Corvette design.
"I'll have to check that out," he replied, straight-faced and relaxed. "Because I know no such car exists."
Rumor and speculation that Chevrolet finally would move the Corvette's small-block V-8 to just behind the seats began again anew (rumors of a mid-engine Corvette have been rampant seemingly forever) when our colleagues at Motor Trend reported it last August. Our friends and competitors at Car and Driver plastered all over their October 2014 cover, saying unequivocally that it was coming in 2017. Then just before January's North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Car and Driver procured exclusive spy shots of what it said was a mid-engine Corvette mule using Holden Ute bodywork, with some C7 bits (the very definition of a mule).
AUTOMOBILE's editor-at-large, Art St. Antoine, offered up his take on the speculation in a sidebar to his Corvette Z06 and McLaren 650S feature under the title "The Corvette (probably) goes mid-engine" (May 2015). Art mentions Ford's unveiling of the mid-engine GT set for late-2016 production and writes of the mule spy shots that "Chevy insiders aren't swatting aside the giddy conjecture it's caused."
Now the Corvette chief engineer has officially swatted that speculation aside. But that still doesn't explain the mule.
My wild rumor, conjecture, opinion … it's a Cadillac.
Here's why I think it makes sense that the mule is indeed a Cadillac and not a Corvette:
— Cadillac's new president, ex-Infiniti chief Johan de Nysschen, said last fall that the brand needs sports cars. "We should also look at one or two sports cars that you buy for emotional reasons, not for practicality, but because they're so sexy and fun to drive," he told me in an interview. Obviously, all future products on his "wish list" had been in the works before he came to General Motors last summer. As Audi of America's president from December 2004 to June 2012, he saw the effect the mid-engine R8 has had on elevating Audi's position as a premium/luxury brand.
— The C7 Chevrolet Corvette is only in its second model year. And it's the best-performing, best-handling, best-balanced Corvette ever. Though not explicitly stated in the rumors and speculation, a Zora could be an additional model that essentially breaks Corvette off into its own brand, a move that would be so pre-2009 GM. But what would GM achieve by applying a Chevy, or Corvette, badge to a six-figure mid-engine sports car? Would it drain sales from the Z06 among rabid Corvette-o-philes who must have the best-performing model, or would it serve as a very low-volume halo to the Corvette, which already is a halo for Chevrolet?
— The Ford GT is not a Corvette competitor. Nor will it compete with a $125,000-$150,000 mid-engine sports car. It will be produced in the hundreds and will be offered to a lucky few for at least $400,000. While GM has both Chevy and Cadillac badges at its disposal, try to imagine the GT as a Lincoln.
— Cadillac has the budget. Or, at least, it did until Harry Wilson got his Wall Street cronies to force GM into a $5 billion stock buyback. When a caller to "Autoline After Hours" asked Juechter what he would do with Corvette if he had "carte blanche," Juechter laughed at the idea of a billions-of-dollars budget. But when de Nysschen announced last fall that Cadillac would keep a separate set of books from the rest of GM (not unlike Audi operating as its own German AG, though under the Volkswagen Group umbrella), he told me, "When you're a mainstream brand, then you've got to have very stringent criteria for the financial performance of each individual product. If you don't manage your project before the process of conception, you'll lose your pants. For Cadillac, some cars have to make volume for us, some cars have to make money, and some cars have to make image. … If you were to apply these very stringent financial criteria to individual projects, you'll probably never do the halo cars. The way to measure it properly is to say, 'Well, how did they help the pricing power on the rest of the cars?' That's their contribution." In other words, Cadillac's new accounting system will make it easier to green-light an exotic, high-priced, low-volume sports car as a way to elevate the value of its more mainstream products.
I must note that no one at GM has told me anything, on or off the record, about a mid-engine sports car, though one independent analyst told me at a recent auto show that the Cadillac theory is warming up as a rumor. Even de Nysschen remained vague and general when outlining his wish list for future Cadillac products. He never so much as whispered "mid-engine." Nor did he talk about the positioning of "one or two sports cars."
It should be clear, though, that Cadillac's top sports car must be priced and positioned above any sports car Chevy markets, and it shouldn't be diluted by having to share such a high-cost platform with Chevy.
The long-nose, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout is as iconic to the Chevrolet Corvette as the rear-engine layout is to the Porsche 911. Even if the mid-engine rumors are nearly as old as the Corvette itself, the car's layout shouldn't change. Prove me correct, GM, and give us a mid-engine Cadillac sports car.

In accordance to our advisory circulated last year and mirroring the PCI Security Council (PCI SSC) guidance, we recommend a move to TLS 1.2 as soon as possible to mitigate any transaction processing disruption in the future. The PCI SSC has indicated that if any additional vulnerabilities are found in TLS 1.0 or 1.1 then they will mandate a move to TLS 1.2 or higher, a timeline that is out of our hands.
To enable TLS 1.2 in your application, we recommend that you upgrade your application to target a minimum of .NET Framework 4.6+. No additional work will be needed to support TLS 1.2 as .NET Framework 4.6+ has TLS 1.2 enabled by default.
For TLS best practices with .NET Framework, please refer to this Microsoft article.
Java API
To enable TLS 1.2 in your application, we recommend upgrading to JDK 8+ as TLS 1.2 is enabled by default on both server sockets and client.
If you are using JDK 7, TLS 1.2 is enabled for server sockets but it is not enabled for clients. If you would like to enable TLS 1.2 for client endpoints with JDK 7, there are 4 options outlined under the "Changing default TLS protocol version for client end points : TLS 1.0 to TLS 1.2" section of Java's site.
Our PHP API uses the system-supplied cURL library to establish HTTPS connections with our platform in order to transfer data. This means that you will need to have a minimum of at least cURL version 7.34.0 in order to support TLS 1.2.
cURL also uses OpenSSL libraries. We recommend that you upgrade to OpenSSL 1.0.2+ as TLS 1.2 support is enabled by default.
Our COM API uses the WinHTTP library for HTTPS connections with our platform in order to transfer data. WinHTTP does not support TLS 1.2 by default and requires Windows 7 in order to enable support.
Please refer to the "How to Enable TLS 1.2 on Windows 7" article for support instructions.

Some construction material embrace being integrated into other parts in order to complement a design. Walls, ceilings, even floors are often designed to have a certain look and to interrupt this for the sake of a maintenance hatch or similar access makes the effort irrelevant.
What MIFAB recessed access panels can do is provide easy maintenance of utilities and, at the same time, maintain the balance of design that was made to any wall, ceiling, and similar surface. By providing a recessed portion that allows the construction material to fill it, the access panel can now blend in with the surrounding design, with only the thickness of the door and frame edges exposed.

As I was driving home I noticed two signs posted on church announcement boards. They both got me thinking and feeling about the difference in comfort levels of their messages. Seemingly the same, they had a very different feel to each of them.
Come to me all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.
- Matthew 11:28
The other read:
If you are in trouble, I will rescue you.
- ???
The first offered me a feeling of succor and comfort. I could feel my continuous relationship with God, which fills each moment of my life. This mystical experience made me feel one with my Creator offering meaning and purpose to my existence and my life.
The second quote left me feeling separate and alone and felt hopeless and isolated. It left me feeling spiritually lost with desolation and despair not far away. I felt a promise of a rescuing knight on a white horse that, for me, never shows up.
The first quote left me with a feeling of connection to the Universe and reminded me of my intimate relationship with Divinity. In this connection I never feel alone. Spiritual connection to the Divine teaches me that I am never separate. My relationship with the Creator and the creation of my life unfold simultaneously as one event.
There is no victim, me, waiting for the unseen rescuer without connection and relationship. That is very comforting.

Ondo election: Presidency, DSS, INEC planning to rig for APC
The Peoples Democratic Party National Youth Frontiers has accused the presidency of conniving with some senior officials within the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to rig the Saturday's governorship election in Ondo State in favour of Rotimi Akeredolu of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
The group also fingered a National Commissioner of INEC, Mrs Amina Zakari as the arrowhead of the alleged plot.
The National Coordinator of PDPNYF, Comrade Austin Okai, while speaking with newsmen in Abuja on Wednesday, alleged that the whole plot was championed by some powerful government officials within the Presidency.
Okai claimed that the scheme was hatched and concluded on Monday night in the residence of a serving minister, who is also a former Governor of a state in the southwest.

My goodness! An 8 megapixel camera from Sony for $999. I remember when a digital camera less than this capability costs $12,000. Amazing!
Sony ImageStation Product - DSC-F828 Cyber-shot® Digital Still Camera

This map shows the overall route of our trip. The main route was 1,907
miles which does not count all of the side trips and exploration that we
did. Have not totaled all of the gasoline consumed yet. That will be
interesting to see. We have traded our Saturn for a PT Cruiser and that
will be our towed vehicle. It is about 500 pounds heavier than the
Saturn so that will be a factor on our next trip. We are planning on
installing an auxiliary braking system in the Cruiser for safety sake.
I have a lot more observations on the trip to post but will do that at a
future date.

What vehicle can I take my test in ?
When taking your test, you will need a PCV Test Vehicle in which to take your practical PCV Licence test! It sounds obvious but you need to think about how you will obtain a Practical PCV Test Vehicle.
Below are the details for the vehicles you can use for your Practical PCV Test.
Rules for all types of buses and coaches
All the vehicles used for categories D1, D1+E, D and D+E tests must be capable of 50mph.
The vehicle must be fitted with:
- L-plates ("L" or "D" plates in Wales) on the front and rear – BUY L PLATES HERE
- 2 sets of externally mounted nearside and offside mirrors – one for the driver and one for the examiner
- a seat belt for the examiner or any person supervising the test
- a tachograph
- anti-lock braking (ABS)
All the vehicles used for categories D1, D1+E, D and D+E tests must be capable of 50mph.
Rules for buses and coaches: categories D and D+E
Category D vehicles are buses and coaches, which are PCVs:
- with more than 8 passenger seats
- at least 10 metres long
- at least 2.4 metres wide
Category D+E vehicles are category D vehicle towing a closed box trailer:
- with a MAM of at least 1.25 tonnes
- at least 2 metres high
- at least 2 metres wide
Minimum load requirement
If you are towing a trailer, there is a minimum load requirement on the trailer which is 600 kg of aggregates or one IBC of 1,000 kg or 600 kg capacity when filled with water.
Rules about the load
The load can be water or bagged aggregates like sand, stone chippings, gravel or any other recycled material packages (but not toxic materials).
Bagged aggregates must be in sealed transparent bags and must:
- all weigh the same
- be at least 10kg
- have the weight clearly stamped on them
- Water must be in intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) made from semi-transparent moulded plastic usually reinforced with a wire framework.
The examiner can inspect an IBC used as "load" for the test, so it's important that they can see it has the correct water level.
You can't use any other type of load.
The load must be secured appropriately onto the vehicle or trailer.
Minimum real weight
The "real weight" is the actual weight of the vehicle and the load combined. This cannot be more than the MAM.
