An elegant, scaled-down version of the large-size horse, the American Miniature cannot be taller than 34 inches at the withers. The Miniature horses of today are stylish, well proportioned and the product of nearly 400 years of selected breeding. The American Miniature Horse Association is the official registry of the American Miniature horse. Formed in 1978, the AMHA was organized by a group of dedicated horsemen to aid and encourage the breeding, exhibiting, use and perpetuation of the American Miniature horse. Because of their gentle, affectionate nature and small size, a Miniature horse is an excellent companion.
They are ideal pets for young children, adults, senior citizens and people with disabilities. A small child may be intimidated by a large horse, yet that same child will show an eagerness to embrace and hug a Miniature foal. The foals are particularly lovable due to their small size, ranging from 16 to 21 inches in height at birth. People with disabilities have found the Miniature horse an excellent substitute for the full-size horse they may not be able to physically handle.

As a child of the eighties, I have a nostalgic fascination for that era and all of its political intrigue and legendary (and infamous) figures. The new trailer for the film "Killing Reagan" has been released this week. And speaking of "new releases" this week, strangely enough, John Hinckley, Jr., the person who tried to kill Ronald Reagan, was also released this week.
Here is the trailer below. (And I can't help but wonder: will John Hinckley, Jr. try to watch this trailer?)

Symantec has been forced to revoke another batch of mis-issued certificates after a security researcher last week revealed his discovery of multiple suspicious looking certs.
Product manager Steve Medin claimed on Saturday that the certificates in question were issued by one of the security giant's WebTrust-audited partners.
"We have reduced this partner's privileges to restrict further issuance while we review this matter," he added. "We revoked all reported certificates which were still valid that had not previously been revoked within the 24-hour CA/B Forum guideline - these certificates each had 'O=test'. Our investigation is continuing."
Earlier, SSLMate founder, Andrew Ayer, flagged the discovery of over 100 HTTPS certs likely to have been mis-issued by Symantec, in probable violation of browser guidelines.
These included several connected to the example.com domain, and multiple "suspicious" certificates containing the word "test" – although many had already been revoked by the time Ayer discovered them.
However, Chrome doesn't immediately check certificate revocation, meaning a revoked cert could still be used in an attack, Ayer told Ars Technica. In other cases, attackers could apparently win by preventing the browser from contacting the revocation server.
The revelations could be another big blow for Symantec's reputation in this area, following a major incident in 2015 which led to the sacking of several employees.
On that occasion, Google spotted that Symantec CA subsidiary Thawte issued unauthorized certificates for several domains.
Then a month later the security firm found over 160 rogue certificates had been issued without its permission.
That's why, as of 1 June 2016, all Symantec-issued certificates have been required to support Google's Certificate Transparency standard for easier logging.
That requirement very likely revealed this new apparent certificate snafu.
The integrity of the certificate-issuing process is paramount as hackers are increasingly willing and able to abuse the system to sneak through malware and launch attacks.

Looking at our selection of seeds in the store earlier in the week I was impressed by the almost 20 types of sunflowers we offer. That then got me to thinking 'When is Kansas Day?' I knew it was in January, so I did a quick internet search… 'Ope!' It's the 29th! This search led me down a rabbit trail to see our official state symbols.

Updated April 9, 2018
At WiseStamp we pride ourselves on helping you grow your business. Examples of mail signatures are a key component in the way you are perceived professionally. However, after viewing thousands of signatures, we were surprised to learn that many professionals fail to follow some basic design principles. In this post, we decided to share three fundamental design principles that will help you achieve your business goals with a powerful email signature.
Create a powerful email signature now
1. Keep it simple
The basic professional desire to differentiate yourself from the crowd may sometimes bring you to include as many details about yourself as possible. Don't make that mistake. By inserting too many details into your email signature, you risk making it look clunky and unprofessional – the opposite effect of what you are in fact trying to achieve. As the famous phrase goes, "less is more". That same rule applies here. Keep it simple: remain focused and include only the most vital information about what you do. If you're active on social media, that's great; but in your signature, put only the ones you are most active on. Your limit should be five social media email apps; any more will look too heavy and unprofessional.
2. Colors and pictures
If you have a logo or a graphic avatar, pay special attention to the colors and pictures you choose for your email signature. The color you choose for your Outlook email signature should be similar to or match your logo, here is an example that uses this principle:
As for your picture, we recommend that you use a high-quality photo that contrasts between the background and yourself:
3. Make Yourself Memorable – in a good way
The look and feel of your email signature depend a lot on your profession and industry. There will be a significant difference in the look of an email signature that belongs to a lawyer or accountant (it will be more conservative) as opposed to an artist, designer or photographer (who can allow themselves more leeway). When creating your email signature, it's essential to take your professional needs into account. Here at WiseStamp we created email signatures with you in mind. We hope you follow these simple design principles that will help you achieve that professional look that will open doors and help you build your business. Over to you. What makes your signature design stand out? Share your tips in the comments below!

Obituary - Smith Forman
"Died at Nichols, NY, March 16, 1868. Smith Forman, aged 78 years. Gone! Another old landmark, and us of ...(three unknown words)... days will look in vain for his like again. Sturdy of mind + body; unflinching in principle; honest even in his prejudices; he commanded the respect of those from whom he differed most greatly. Where he had felled the forest trees and built his home, he lived in honored peace for fifty years, and when we crossed the swollen river to take a last look at his placid face, and sun the sunshine glint on the lowered coffin in the pleasant Riverside Cemetery... he had helped arrange he felt that few lives of 78 years had been fuller squared by the Golden Rule - that he had earned and was indeed sharing on everlasting peace."

North East taxi firm signs deal to accept mobile payments
Scrabbling around for loose change in the back of a cab could be a thing of the past for taxi users in the North East.
Blueline has become one of the first firms in the UK to sign a deal with mobile payment app Droplet that will give all of its 817 drivers the facility to offer their customers the chance to pay for journeys from their phones.
Using state-of-the-art technology, passengers simply open the app where the driver's listing will appear automatically, giving them the ability to see exactly who they are paying.
Payment is instant so drivers can easily see the notification on their own phone for reassurance that the correct amount has been sent.
"This is a massive breakthrough for the taxi sector and offers a host of benefits to Blueline and its customers," explained Steffan Aquarone, Founder of Droplet.
"The app is fee-free so avoids the fees of up to 10% that drivers who accept cards have to pay; it's quick to use so more journeys can be completed and the security of drivers will improve as they do not have to carry large amounts of cash with them.
"Passengers in the North East also don't have to worry about being caught fiddling around for change or asking the driver to stop at a cash point.
Blueline's Frank Sims added his support: "It's the future, it's just so simple. People particularly like the fact they don't have to pay any additional charges and we like the fact we don't have to buy any extra hardware to make it work.
"Droplet's systems benefit from military grade security so customers can rest assured that paying with their phones is safe and secure. It also improves safety by reducing the need to carry cash."
Blueline is the third and largest taxi company to start accepting Droplet as a payment method, alongside ABC in Norfolk and A1 Taxis in Taunton.
This is now the fastest growing merchant sector for the mobile payment app, with more than 2000 drivers signed up in just two months.
As an initial incentive, all participating taxis in the North East will be able to give out Droplet cash vouchers to encourage new and old customers to start using it as their preferred payment method.
Droplet Co-founder Will Grant concluded: "More and more people are turning to mobile payments as they like the speed, security and flexibility. The fact that an established sector like taxis has adopted this approach proves that we can bring growth and innovation to all sectors.
"If a bit of technology can make an every day chore easier, it tends to be a hit with customers in a very natural way."

Murphy transition chair doesn't know who hired Alvarez
TRENTON — The head of Gov. Phil Murphy's transition team testified Tuesday that he does not know who appointed Al Alvarez to a state job, even though he had introduced the former campaign adviser to his future boss at the Schools Development Authority.
Jose Lozano, the former executive director of the governor's transition team, told the state Legislative Select Oversight Committee it was Alvarez himself who indicated he had been picked as chief of staff to the SDA.
"It would not have been uncommon — since it was not in my purview to approve or have the authority to hire someone to the administration — for someone to come to me and state that they had been hired or approved," Lozano said during a day-long hearing at the Statehouse.
Despite not knowing who had authorized the hiring, Lozano said he sent a text message to Charlie McKenna, the head of the SDA, informing him that Alvarez would be his chief of staff.
"He texted me to say, 'I'd like you to meet Al Alvarez; he's going to be your chief of staff. Can you meet him today?'" McKenna testified in December.
The disclosure raises sharp new questions about who, if anyone, approved the decision to hire Alvarez — an outcome that occurred even after the transition team was made aware that Alvarez had faced an allegation of sexual assault by a member of Murphy's transition committee.
The select committee is examining why Alvarez was put in the position, as well as why it took so long until he left. Katie Brennan, a former campaign volunteer and currently a state housing official, told top aides in the governor's office in March that Alvarez had raped her in 2017, but Alvarez did not resign until Oct. 2, after an inquiry by The Wall Street Journal.
Lozano said he learned of the allegation — though not the identity of Alvarez's accuser — in late 2017 from the transition counsel, Raj Parikh. Justin Braz, now Murphy's deputy chief of staff for legislative affairs and a friend to Brennan, had disclosed the allegation at Brennan's request. Braz had also told Pete Cammarano, then Murphy's incoming chief of staff.
They learned a short time later that prosecutors who had been investigating Alvarez were not going to press a case against him. Alvarez was subject to a background check, but Lozano said it was not as stringent as the check cabinet-level officials must pass.
"The background check came back clear that he did not have any sort of accusations," Lozano said.
Lozano said he never spoke with Alvarez about the allegation, in accordance with Parikh's direction. Parikh also did not confront Alvarez, he said. Still, Lozano said, he did not feel completely comfortable, but did nothing to prevent Alvarez from being hired.
"Uneasy? Yes," he said. "But again, this was an accusation in which there was no accuser who came forward."
Lozano said he hoped, in the future, that others would be required to go through more detailed background checks before receiving state employment.
Lawmakers on the committee seemed taken aback by Lozano's ignorance as to who had hired Alvarez, and several said they found it indicative of a general theme that no one was taking responsibility for various decisions that had been made.
"I think, from what we're hearing today, it's just concerning to us," Assemblywoman Eliana Pintor Marin (D-Essex), the co-chair of the committee, said during the hearing. "To all of us here, it's heartbreaking to hear that, at every single level and every single step, there's no follow-up."

We've moved to a new part of town. And we're just starting to get to know our new neighborhood.
It's pretty different from our old neighborhood. We used to be in the heart of the city, and now we're in the suburbs.
My daughter loves the fact that there are kids everywhere and trampolines in every other back yard. I love the quiet and the big garden.
We're starting to get to know our new neighbors, and so far everyone's been really friendly and welcoming. But it is more conservative here.
How will they respond when they learn that the new girl on the block is transgender?
We're wrestling with that in the latest episode.

The Deputy Police Commissioner has defended a decision not to have a permanent police officer at El Arish, south of Innisfail.
A public meeting has been held in the town to address residents' concerns about the move.
Deputy Commissioner Ian Stewart says the one-person station has already been vacant for many months because it has been difficult to fill.
"By reallocating the officer's position and the resources we actually believe that we can provide a better service," he said.
"One officer can only work so many hours a day. If that officer is placed in another close, handy division we can provide a better service with a better spread of hours."

Carpet Cleaner Cleland
Carpet cleaning can offer a number of different benefits to home and business owners in Cleland, the first obvious being that it can improve the appearance of a property and ultimately extend the life of your carpet(s); meaning that you don't have to replace your carpet(s) as soon as what you would have first thought.
One of the most valuable benefits from the carpet cleaning process is that it improves the health of everyone in your property, including you. This is because a carpet can retain several sources of indoor air pollutants including pet hair, particle pollution and everyday dirt and dust. Toxic airborne gases can adhere to these particles and can potentially get trapped within the carpet, this means that come the time you vacuum the toxic gases will be released from the carpet; contaminating the air in your property. By having your carpet(s) cleaned by a professional carpet cleaner you will be able to kill the bacteria and remove any deeply trapped pollutants that there are embedded into your carpet(s).
There are many homes that have dust mite infestations and a lot of homeowners aren't aware of this because they are microscopic. Although dust mites aren't allergens they often hide behind body fragments that are. The fact that they are microscopic in size means that they can be easily inhaled when the area of the carpet is disturbed, this can exacerbate allergies.
We are carpet cleaners who have been working in both commercial and residential properties in Cleland since we were first established in 2000. Since establishment we have grown at a steady rate, this is because of the standard of cleaning that our carpet cleaners provide. The carpet cleaners that work in properties in Cleland have been trained to the highest industry standards and we are even a member of TACCA – The Approved Carpet Cleaners Association.
The price of carpet cleaning can vary depending on the number of carpets that you want cleaned and whether or not you would like to include stairs. Before any of our carpet cleaners undertake your job they will give you a free quote for the work, this way you will know the price that you will be expected to pay at the end of the service.
When our carpet cleaners are out at your property they will make use of an industrial hot water extraction machine, this is the most effective way of cleaning carpet(s) because it deep cleans them. The hot water extraction machine is used with a bio-degradable cleaning solution, the high pressure will then be used to spray the solution on the carpets which will mean that the dust and dirt that has accumulated in the fibers of the carpet will be loosened by the high pressure of the solution; eliminating dirt, allergens and bacteria.
Making use of a hot water extraction machine can offer a number of benefits, some of which include:
- This method is economical – This is because you will be using a cleansing solution along and hot water to clean your carpet(s)
- There will be no chemical residues left behind – This is a lot different from chemical cleaning which would make your carpet absorb dust and dirt easily, making it unclean again
- No harmful chemical agents – This method allows us to avoid using chemical products that are harmful to your home/commercial occupants
- Avoid the risk of chemical compounds – With this machine you will be able to avoid the risk of inhaling chemical compounds
- No moisture – It's effective because the moisture in the carpet will be evaporating quickly
- No dust mites, microbes or allergens – The temperature of our hot water extraction machine means that dust mites, microbes and allergens will be killed
When it comes to our cleaning products we only use products that are 100% safe, so you don't have to worry about the safety of anyone in your home/commercial property.
Our carpet cleaners are on hand to answer any questions that you may have about our carpet cleaning service, so if you have any questions or you would like a free quote from us then just give us a call on 0800 334 5597 or 0778 902 5461 from your mobile.

"Deep gratitude to you two ladies – your sharings and open hearts really hold the sacred space to unload and crash the gears a bit whilst learning the new skills and application of gifts and knowledge… truly blessed to have found you both – I feel you are holding the doors wide open to the realms of higher frequency and our route maps for finding our true roles here on the blue planet"
This is an advanced training for those seeking to deepen their personal spiritual exploration as well as those who wish to practice shamanic healing to enrich their own life and to serve others.
This experiential training takes you deeply into shamanic worlds for healing and wisdom and is held firmly in a Mystery School tradition.
What does a Mystery School tradition mean? It means you discover your authentic voice beneath the layers and uncover your original face. You empty yourself out with time tested technology of the Colour Rays so you become an effective hollow bamboo for spirit to work through.
You learn how to safely and effectively open yourself and explore the unseen realms while being held in a profound timeless circle.
You are offered methods to allow the power of the universe to merge with you and dissolve your wounds and blockages which prevent you from clear seeing. This process happens over the time we are together and your process is observed with equanimity and love by the course facilitators.
In the process of unbecoming our inherited and learned conditionings we learn what true seeing and freedom are. We are released from our self-limiting thoughts. We learn to live large and transcend our egos while we also learn how to do Soul Retrieval, Extraction, prepare people for Death and help those who have crossed over finding peace.
Welcome to the Mystery School Training in shamanic healing.
PLEASE NOTE: For many years we have had a two year program and been asked to create an advanced 3rd year which allows people to integrate and embody the teachings and practices. We have loved supporting and mentoring people onward and have decided now to offer the 3rd year by invitation for those seeking to go deeper.
There are 8 main teaching components to this course. We physically meet for 6 gatherings of 5 days, over two years. We also have 2 Colour Athenaeums which are an in-depth training with the Colours as an online course over 8 weeks each time. This gives you time to steep, gathering rich experiences of the Colour Ray Masters and Mistresses who delight in supporting your inner life and your shamanic work.
This extraordinarily empowering and deep healing work with the Colour Rays, which is unique to this course, prepares you to work at a profound level. The Colour Ray work is a method used by mystery schools to come to gnosis, to "know thyself". Once you explore the heights and depths of your own being, you are well equipped to be there for others. Additionally we have an online forum and monthly conference calls to stay in touch.
Curriculum Content Includes:
- The Hollow Bamboo: Experience a variety of meditations and spiritual practices to find the centre-point of stillness in your being. Learn practices to help you dissolve chains of conditionings and limitations.
- Core Shamanic Healing Methods, including: Soul Retrieval, Extraction, Death and Dying and Soul Transitions, Healing with Spiritual Light, Psychopomp, Curse Unravelling, Deposession and Shamanic Counselling.
- Two Colour Athenaeums with the Colour Rays: The Colours are energy codes and keys to unlock the gifts of the soul. We work with them on multiple levels. They help map where you are flowing and where you are stuck in your body/mind/soul. Working with a chorus of precise, potent, and masterful teachers in the upper world who are excited about working through and with you in the middle world, you are the vessel for the Divine Light expressed as loving colour. You are a light unto yourself.
- Medicine For The Earth: Working safely in the middle world with the elements, directions and spirits of nature, transforming your emotional and mental toxicity through practices of transfiguration and healing with spiritual light.
- Ancestral Healing: Honouring the ancestors, clearing the line of burdens; recognising and honouring the gifts you carry. Meeting and greeting the ancestors; deconditioning and spell breaking.
- Monthly Conference Calls: Between our gatherings we have monthly conference calls for checking in, doing some meditation and personal work as well as reviewing issues that come up for you in case studies. All calls are recorded and available for later listening.
- Practitioner Peer Support Group: You will practice supervising and being supervised by your peers, forming a group which you can always rely upon after the coursework finishes. There is no official government body to regulate practitioners, but we will explore codes of ethics and guidelines. We also explore basic principles of person-centred counselling.
- Invitation to join and be listed with other graduates: in a professional practitioner alliance- www.ShamanicLearning.com
- Continuing Professional Development Circle: Once a year gathering for graduates to get support and refreshed with their practice and create an opportunity to give and receive healing. A time for re-charging and checking in.
Though the course is non-residential, delicious catered meals are provided in our remote rural location. Many people choose to share a cottage on the nearby farm, which makes it very economical.
Course Fee: £1850 per annum. (Payment plans and options are listed in the Application Form.)

You both held the space beautifully that I felt able to let go and journey far, as I knew that the centre was strong and compassionate. I also felt able to ask any question I needed to. It was very wild and powerful but also very down to earth at the same time, and there was a lovely combination of theory, practice and then integration in nature.
The SPA has been amazing. My outer life and my inner vision, have both been expanded, extended and enriched with all the many wonderful experiences over the last 2 years, and I am building and returning to a deeper and more trusting relationship with my own wisdom. I am now feeling more rooted in my individual practice, with a more profound and explicit connection to spirit. Chetna has been truly 'with' and 'alongside' us every step of the way, with her wisdom, her commitment and her loving support. Deep Gratitudes.

SPA-293: Planning for Value
BCS Software Practice Advancement
Wednesday, November 4, 2015 from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM (GMT)
Event Details
Complimentary refreshments and sandwiches from 18:00.
Software development is overwhelmingly planned on the basis of cost and time. Unfortunately this doesn't work too well. Worse still there is always someone, somewhere, who will offer a lower price - even if they can't actually deliver for that price or in that time.
Agile has made things worse. Agile has raised expectations; after all, everyone knows "Agile" means "Faster, better and cheaper". But while most of the agile toolkit improves the supply of software, Agile as we know it says very little about the demand side of the equation.
The only way to break this vicious circle is switch to the value side of the equation, this means planning on the basis of value rather than cost. Fortunately we have the technology! Stories, return on investment, cost of delay and planning horizons provide the answers.
In this presentation Allan Kelly will look at planning software development using value and how this approach fits with the #NoProjects agenda.
Allan Kelly advises teams from many different companies and domains on adopting and deepening Agile practices and development in general. He specialises in working with software product companies and aligning products and processes with company strategy.
When he is not with clients he writes far too much (so he says). He is the author of three books: "Xanpan - team centric Agile Software Development", "Business Patterns for Software Developers" and "Changing Software Development: Learning to be Agile". He is the originator of Retrospective Dialogue Sheets and a regular conference speaker. He can be found on Twitter as @allankellynet and he frequently updates his blog.

An Overview of our Jesmonite Products
Jesmonite has become a firm favourite with users worldwide and with good reason: since the acrylic-modified gypsum composite was first formulated in the 1980s, the advantages which set Jesmonite apart as a sculpting medium have captured the imagination of artists and craftspeople in a wide range of fields.
Anecdotes indicate that many artists find using Jesmonite to be a convenient and rewarding process. The composite is smooth and easy to work and takes additives (such as pigments and metal powders) very well, which gives the user a wide range of options when it comes to colours and finishes. Popular finishes include several which mimic metal and stone.
A retarder can also be added to the mix, which will slow down the setting process and allow you more time to complete fine and intricate surface work.
Jesmonite also produce their own high grade quadaxial glass reinforcement material for additional strength when building mould supports and structural conditioning.
One of the best reasons to buy Jesmonite was that the products were conceived from the start as a low hazard material, therefore no harmful solvents are used during mixing and the finished composite gives off no toxic fumes. This makes it safer to work with than other resins. It is also much lighter than other alternatives such as cast concrete, or plaster.
Still not convinced? Since all products from this brand are water based, it is one of the most environmentally sound mediums around. This also means that cleaning up after Jesmonite casting is simply a matter of washing down your implements with water (although you might not want to flush it down the standard drains – we always recommend that you use a plaster trap).
Here at Alec Tiranti, our goal is to bring our customers the finest tools and materials available. After so many years of supplying professionals across a wide range of creative disciplines, we have learned to listen to what our clients need and react accordingly.
Jesmonite is a UK product which fits the brief perfectly in terms of quality and flexibility, and we are proudly offering it alongside our more traditional casting and mouldmaking mediums.
With over a century of history, we are determined to remain at the forefront of the sculpting and modelling supplies industry.
Our website is designed to offer help and assistance to our customers, as well as your first port of call for sculptors' tools, materials and studio equipment for carving, modelling, mouldmaking, casting & restoration. You are sure to find all the tools and information for creating Jesmonite sculptures, including the mould making and casting processes. Still, if there is anything you are struggling to find, or have specific questions about Jesmonite or any of our other products, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us.

Toronto inched closer to a citywide work stoppage on Sunday after talks broke down with the union representing indoor municipal workers over a contentious new contract for its members.
In consecutive press conferences held across the street from one another, Mayor John Tory and CUPE Local 79 president Tim Maguire offered sharply divergent accounts of what took place in negotiations on Saturday night, with each accusing the other of scuttling talks.
In the event of a strike or a lockout for the union's roughly 20,000 members, city daycares and community centres would be closed, along with a handful of libraries.
The mayor told reporters gathered in his office that city negotiators delivered a proposal at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, and that the union dismissed the deal and dispatched the provincial mediator overseeing talks "without warning or explanation."
Meanwhile, about an hour later in a hotel across the street, Mr. Maguire said that the city, not his union, had delivered an ultimatum and ended discussions.
"Last night, the city stopped negotiating," he said. "We were told it was a final offer."
Both sides deny that labour disruption is imminent, and even as Mr. Tory described the city's most recent offer as its "last," he said he was ready to continue negotiations.
"For our part, the city negotiating team will be at the hotel, by the phone, awaiting a call to go back to the negotiating table and resume talks with the mediator," said Mr. Tory.
"Despite our best efforts, the union remains unwilling to move forward."
Meanwhile, Mr. Maguire said he had called the mediator "to clarify any misunderstanding" about how matters ended on Saturday night.
"We're here to negotiate," he insisted.
In another move that could mar talks, the city posted its contract offer online Sunday morning, along with details of a contingency plan in case of a work stoppage.
"I believe it is time for our employees and the public to understand what is at stake and exactly what is in our offer," said Mr. Tory. "This is about being honest and open and transparent."
Mr. Maguire decried the city's decision.
"I don't think it's helpful for the city to post its offers," he said. "It's disrespectful to the bargaining process."
He said the union was awaiting firmer commitments on predictability in scheduling and assurances that its members would be protected from any contracting out of services.
"It's never been about the money," he said.
Mr. Tory called the contents of city's offer "fair and reasonable" and said that it addressed the union's core demands around scheduling, barriers to job promotion, and gender equity.
The wage hike contained in the city proposal was the same as the one municipal outdoor workers, represented by CUPE Local 416, voted to accept on Friday, said Mr. Tory.
With one mammoth contract safely under his belt, Mr. Tory was reluctant to speculate about a possible lockout of indoor workers.
And despite his sharp words for the Mayor, Mr. Maguire stopped short of saying that a strike was inevitable.
"We don't feel that's our only choice," he said.
The union has vowed to continue its work-to-rule campaign on Monday to maintain pressure on the city.


text: The uncontrolled power flow in the AC power system caused by renewable energy sources (restless sources, distributed energy sources), dynamic loads, etc., is one of many causes of voltage perturbation, along with others, such as switching effects, faults, and adverse weather conditions. This paper presents a three-phase voltage and power flow controller, based on direct PWM AC/AC converters. The proposed solution is intended to protect sensitive loads against voltage fluctuation and problems with power flow control in an AC power system. In comparison to other solutions, such as DVR, UPFC, the presented solution is based on bipolar matrix choppers and operates without a DC energy storage unit or DC link. The proposed solution is able to compensate 50% voltage sags, in the case of three-phase symmetrical voltage perturbation, and single phase voltage interruptions. Additionally, by means of a voltage phase control with a range of 60◦ in each phase, it is possible to control the power flow in an AC power system. The paper presents an operational description, a theoretical analysis based on the averaged state space method and four terminal descriptions, and the experimental test results from a 1 kVA laboratory model operating under active load.JO - Archives of Electrical Engineering L1 - http://so.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/111905/PDF/art_09.pdf L2 - http://so.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/111905 PY - 2019 IS - No 2 EP - 356 KW - power flow controller KW - direct AC/AC converter KW - matrix chopper KW - power quality A1 - Kaniewski, Jacek Zbigniew PB - Polish Academy of Sciences VL - vol. 68 JF - Archives of Electrical Engineering DA - 2019.05.27 SP - 341 T1 - Power flow controller based on bipolar direct PWM AC/AC converter operation with active load UR - http://so.czasopisma.pan.pl/dlibra/docmetadata?id=111905 DOI - 10.24425/aee.2019.128272 ER -

Dining Guide
Kau Ba Saigon Kitchen & Bar
The simple design—a black-and-white tile floor with dark wooden furniture—provides the perfect setting for chef Nicki Tran's anything-but-simple Vietnamese/French/Cajun food. Each plated dish is worthy of a magazine cover. The Viejun Pho epitomizes Tran's vision: shrimp, clams, and mussels in a sweet vinegar broth topped with a fried soft-shell crab soaking it all in. We had the shrimp-and-pork dumplings to start, meaty things with a subtle soy sesame dressing, then the Golden Tofu, crunchy on the outside, silky and custard-like within, topped with chives and resting on basil leaves. The meat was dry in the Beef Lemongrass Skewers but saved by moist rice noodles, mint, pickles, and fermented bean sauce. Our dessert was the Cajun Craze, a wild mix of tropical fruit, coconut flakes, condensed milk, and spiced Cajun salt.

Expression Engine is a content management system that is very useful in the creation of websites.
Businesses need to connect with customers and potential customers. Organizations on the other hand need to connect with their followers and clients. The online community is a large one. For this case, organizations and business need to reach their respective audiences through websites platforms. Expression Engine is very useful in the creation of websites using open source resources. However, great programming expertise is required in the creation of Expression Engine websites. It is for this reason that businesses require the professional services of freelancers in such projects.
There are various benefits associated with Expression Engine jobs. Over 27,000 websites are launched every day, some of which are Expression Engine websites. This shows that there is a demanded for website creators. It is for this reason that you will expect clients with projects to pitch your services. Since this is repetitive work, you can contract multiple clients at once yet provide quality work. You can use templates, themes and plugins, most of which are free unless the client needs a customized project which you are capable of providing.Expression Engine Developers 분야 채용

Discussion in 'Some Assembly Required' started by mrchristian, Feb 17, 2018.
I made one like that, works a treat and no risk so of pulling oil into the engine
Syncing the carbs is important. It can be fustrating if they are way out. It can be the differance with a bike that will run good or not at all.
I just picked up a $35 Carb Sync tool, old school with mercury (I think) courtesy of Craigslist. Surprised how expensive they are, even the cheapest eBay vacuum gauge set is $65. I'll tackle that tomorrow.
Carbs still were giving me issues after 4 cleans...Pine Sol dunk time for a few hours with 50% dilution, followed by rinse and compressed air through the passages. Of course that totally worked, bike finally idles and revs. I should have started with that to begin with.
And on to the last brake which is OF COURSE utterly and completely seized. Again. No amount of compressed air, PB Blaster or squeezing with a piece of wood will budget the right side. Guess I'll try the grease trick again. Or maybe try some heat on the piston? I'd love to avoid grease just once time as clean up is super annoying.
use the Grease gun, scoop the grease out and dunk the thing in PineSol too!
Edit: if you have time, try the PineSol first...
Might be less hassle just to buy a replacement used caliper off the fleabay
Might be a good idea - i'll try the grease trick and if no success give up. Might go to Johnson and Wood and dig around their bins and see if they got something and failing that hit up eBay.
Any other bikes from that era have brakes that would fit? Are they all sort of the same design or are they usually specific from bike to bike? Just in case I need to expand my search to find something nice and clean.
Got the brake caliper to eject - heat and PB Blaster won the day this time.
I think that a lot of my carb troubles might be caused by the vacuum line on the petcock - I think the line itself is leaking causing carburetor hanging idle. Not sure what size it is, will have to dig around at Auto Zone for a replacement. Other than that the bike revs cleanly, accelerates OK and brakes great. Just doesn't drop back down to idle and I wasn't able to track down any intake leaks with aerosol miraculously. I didn't spend much time messing with the rubber lines, too far gone, not worth even dealing with them. Trashed and replaced with a simple stainless line setup that eliminates the three way line splitter:
Might toss the oil thats in the sump with another gallon of fresh diesel oil.
Next step is fixing all the indicator lights. Brake light won't actuate at the moment either.
I got a speedometer drive coming - $10 eBay grab.
Need to figure out how the gas tank sensor hooks up.
I should be getting a plate this week too.
How many turns out are your pilot screws? I used to find a good starting point (at least with stock Toona-cans) was three turns out from bottomed out. Throttle synch can also effect idle,but is more likely going to make a choppy/sloppy/stuttering transition from idle to throttle "on". If it's good (enuff) everywhere else but the idle "hangs," you're likely still too lean on the bottom. A quick check: when idle is hanging up, just pull the choke plungers out minimally, and see if your idle issue abates. If it gets better with a VERY small amount of choke (I mean TINY amount of choke), you're lean. Conversely, I have seen bikes (very rarely, and mostly with older Honda V4s at that) have the "idle hang" problem, and it was actually too rich. After much messing about, I leaned out the pilots and the bike (an 80's Interceptor 750, if memory serves) ran as it was supposed to. You're doing well, keep up the good work! Those old Suzy's really don't die easy.
Two turns out - according to the Carb FAQ on Katriders which I used to setup my carbs, more turns = more air.
The hanging idle sounds like the air bleeds may still be plugged up some. But you are gaining ground on it. The brake lines look just like the set I used when I put the GSX front end on my baby ninja. Keep at it! Good Luck!
I'll give the fuel screws a little more fiddling.
Last question - I need a swingarm slider. I've got an extra eBay XR650L one - possible to just use this? Anyone have any suggestions on a permanent/secure way to attach a non-stock slider? Just hoping to avoid another $25 ebay order for a piece of plastic.
Those NRC case covers are unobtainium. They were to get the bike on the track, lots of oil behind them if the bike goes for a slide. They hold up.
Cast Al, by the way. And thick!
Got the rear brake master and caliper rebuilt and cleaned out.
Rear brake line is (unsurprisingly) clogged. Hit it with the air compressor and some brake cleaner. I connected everything up and left it overnight. Hoping the clean DOT4 fluid soaks into the blockage and eases everything up. More air compressing and brake clean to follow.
My 3 gallon Harbor Freight oilless compressor has earned it's keep. I've hated it since I bought it, it's loud, it's slow but just runs and runs and runs.
I bought a swingarm slider off eBay, $15. Looks like it necessitates removing the swingarm. Dumb design.
Got the rear brake working, lots of brake clean and compressed air and it eventually unclogged, granulated orange rust crap in the line. Not even sure what that is from, there's no steel components in the brakes so maybe it's just fluid that turns into crust over time - the brake light actuates too now so good news there.
Got my speed sensor in the mail, previous owner did a "delete" by adding some sort of spacer I can't figure out how to remove. I can spin it by hand but can't remove it, it sort of turns the spacer on the other side of the wheel so they are touching somewhere. Can't even pop a stock part in, everything is a time suck fight. Ha. Ha. COME OUT STUPID SPACER ARG.
Ran the bike through some leisurely test riding. It starts off crazy cold blooded and won't rev past 4K, half throttle and it stumbles. Eventually it starts to run fine with just the occasional bumble. I tossed a little bit of Berryman fuel cleaner and clean 91 Chevron gas so that seems to be doing it's thing. Idle is still a bit unstable but it's 15% better everytime I run it. Last time I pulled it the pilot jets were clean too. Still at 2 turns.
In my experience, adjustment screws in front of the slide (engine side) are fuel mixture screws, meaning the further out you turn the screw the more fuel it allows to pass through the idle circuit, and the richer your engine will run at idle (and beyond). Adjustment screws located behind the slide (airbox side) of the carburetors are typically your "air screws", and the further out you turn it, the more air is allowed to pass through the idles circuit, leaning out your engine at idle, etc. Give it a whirl.
Got the front end acceptable. Removing the spacer to get the speedo drive on was a huge pain. Required removing the wheel. Easy right? I can pull a dirt bike wheel off in 5 minutes. Well I'm sure it's easy if you have the right tools and I have the wrong tools.
But I got the wheel off, spacer removed, speedo drive on and a new Kenda Kruz 110/80-17 (stock) tire spooned on courtesy of a great local shop that happened to have it in stock. The spacer fused itself in real good so heat, JB Weld and a little bit of rubber mallet tapping got it out.
Cleaned out the bearings, they are in good condition, just a lot of yellow factory grease:
Regreased the bearings:
And everything spins really smooth.
New tire and torque the brake discs down to spec.
I spend a solid hour cleaning the wheels and they are still really crusty. Used some Gunk Orange Cleaner used to clean bicycles. Didn't work any miracles but I got them acceptable. Scrubbed the rotors down with rubbing alcohol to get rid of any residual oils.
I've been using Blue Loctite on most of the bolts I remove, it comes in a stick form now which is super convenient.
Now I just need to remove the swingarm and swap the rubber chain slider on. That feels like it's gonna be a pain. I'll stick a new tire on while I'm doing that but that one needed to be ordered.
I hate working on street bikes. Lots of annoying things. In too deep now!
You can still get the NRC covers .
Niagara Race Crafters covers made here in Ontario / Canada .

Found a good magazine ad - the fastest 600 available...probably. Pulls like a booster rocket!
Sidenote: English people really like their sport bikes.
Plotting out my swingarm removal. I think I'll remove exhaust (again), hoise bike up on a piece of wood with my jackstand for extra stability. And change oil again for safety sake - it's pitch black after running for probably 20 minutes total which is unusual for Rotella.
Check out the changes (recent) to Rotella oils, may be a reason for the black oil: http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/shell-rotella-t-name-and-formulation-change.1287801/
Probably less having to do with the oil and more having to do with the fact that the last time the oil was changed prior to my most recent gallon was 28 years ago. I'm sure the detergents in the new oil have loosened up a bunch of crud.

Often times each week I'll post links to various articles that I have personally found interesting. Some weeks it will be 5 articles, some weeks it is 10…it varies. This week I've found a couple of articles that have really spoken to me. So much so I've given them there own post. (See Healthy Foods from yesterday) and now today. I haven't been compensated I just found them interesting and they got my wheels turning.
I read an article the other day about a coach turning away an athlete for "doing too much". It really struck home with me. I haven't read an article that made me think that much in a while. Although I'm not being coached right now I've always wondered about this general thought process. I will fully admit that one reason I don't want to be coached is I don't want to stick to a rigorgous plan. I don't want to chage to less mileage and more speed work. I have enjoyed running long, easy runs and getting faster. I'm not saying a coach would create a plan to do so, it's just one factor I have thought about.
Could I run 70 MPW with a lot of speed? No, I would get injured. That would be too much. One reason I think I'm able to run higher mileage is because I do run at a much easier pace.
Do I want to run 50 MPW with a lot of speed? No, not really.
One reason I am not ready to give up high easy mileage for lower faster mileage is I'm still improving. What I'm working has caused me to improve with running. I worry that if I decrease miles (while even adding speed) I'll end up with a stress fracture, injured or slower. Obviously change will be good for me eventually. When I stop improving, I will look a lot harder for a coach. (This is just one of the many reasons I've stayed away from being coached).
But going back to the article it really made me think. How much is too much? When I was in college and had a coach, he never pushed me to the point I felt overworked. I was getting better as a runner and it felt natural. I was succeeding in running and never felt a reason to do more. I enjoyed running and enjoyed improving.
It seems lately a lot (myself included) of people have been injured. Whether it's a stress fracture, a muscle injury or something else, injury is in the air. A lot of injuries are due to overtraining. One thing that has always bothered me is someone blaming an injury on others. Well X,Y,Z made me run more. When I read the artcle I couldn't help but nod. Coaches are not there to overwork you. They give you a plan and if you do more you aren't following their plan.
For example: In college we would be assigned a run to do. Run 5 miles easy one day. My coach wasn't breathing down my neck running with me.
If I ran 5.2 miles he wouldn't know until I did.
If I ran 4.6 miles…he wouldn't know that I did.
The goal was to run 5 miles easy. My easy pace was 8:30-9 minutes. He expected me to stay in those parameters. If I ran 5.9 miles at a 7:30 pace…I was working harder than I needed to be. I was taking away from a workout or race when I should be pushing the pace. I wasn't following the plan and was setting myself up for injury. It wouldn't be his fault if I had gotten injured. The plan was 5 miles at 8:30-9 minute pace. Not 5.9 miles at a 7:30 pace.
It seems harmless enough but to do that for a year it begins to build up. Doing it for even half of your easy runs you've added over 300 extra miles.
300 miles at a faster pace.
300 miles that is breaking your body down, not recovering.
So I guess long story short, coaches are there to help you. As someone who has been coached by a great college coach and ran solo for a while I can relate to both. I can relate to thinking your way is the best way.
Questions for you:
Do you follow your coaches plan?
I followed it almost to a T in college. I often wonder if I had a coach with low mileage if I would find myself adding more mileage. (Which would be dumb especially if we were doing speed work…I would probably be the PITA athlete…)
If you aren't coached, do you like your workout routine?

How about just leaving alone what you know isn't yours?
