The amazing powers of lemon juice
Lemons are not only lovely to look at, aromatic to smell, and delicious to taste, they have amazing healing properties. Chock full of Vitamin C and B, lemon juice is an excellent remedy for the common cold and to ward off viruses. Lemons are usually relegated to a garnish in your iced tea but they are so much more than that. Useful in household cleaning, lemons also aide, in many ways, our health. Many times we resort to harsh chemicals for cleaning or medicines to cure our ailments. Lemon juice is a natural cure, easily assessable and good for you. Here are some unusual ways that lemon can be used in a healthy lifestyle.
- Weight Loss- A mug of warm water with lemon and a pinch of salt in the morning can aid in weight loss and help to flush toxins out of the body, cleansing the liver.
- A Cure for Hiccups- a little known remedy- drinking a teaspoon of lemon juice can help get rid of hiccups.
- Relieve Constipation- lemon juice helps to clean the digestive track and can relieve this stuffed up, painful condition.
- Control Blood Pressure- lemon juice has high potassium content so it can control blood pressure, dizziness, and nausea.
- Restore PH Balance- Lemon juice is alkalizing so it can restore the body's PH balance which can get out of whack when under stress.
- Whiten Nails- are your nails turning yellow from wearing polish for too long or sporting dark colors? If you wash your hands and then soak your nails in a mix of water and lemon juice, your nails will whiten right up.
- Keep Food from Browning- Have you ever cut up an apple and seen it turn brown and unappetizing in the refrigerator? The same is true for many cut fruits and avocados. If you sprinkle a little lemon juice on them they will remain fresh with no browning. Lemon juice is also used in the preparation of the Mexican dish Ceviche. The juice marinates and "cooks" the fresh seafood. No heat necessary.
- Natural Deodorant- Because of its antibacterial properties, lemon juice can be used as a deodorant to kill bad smelling bacteria. Just rub a half of a lemon under your arms.
- Heartburn Relief- if you have heartburn from lack of acidic food in your stomach, drinking water with some lemon juice in it can restore the PH balances in your body and relieve heartburn.
- Itchy Rash Relief- Lemon juice put directly onto a rash from poison ivy can ease the itch without any harsh chemicals or worries of what you will be absorbing into your skin.
Lemons are an amazing fruit. So much more than a simple garnish, lemons can aid in our health. Be sure to have them on hand in your kitchen to add them to your healthy lifestyle.
Healthy Lemon Bars (created by Sweatpea Chef)
Healthy dessert recipes seem more complicated than regular ones. But the thing is, they aren't. The steps for this healthy lemon bar recipe are very simple and easy. Here's how to make lemon bars:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Grease a pan with coconut oil and set aside.
- For the crust – start by combining softened coconut oil, sea salt, and raw honey with a mixer until the mixture is creamy then add spelt flour and almond meal slowly until you form a dough.
- Transfer the dough to the prepped ban and press it evenly.
- Bake the crust until it's golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow the crust to cool completely.
- Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.
- For the topping – start by mixing eggs, raw honey and lemon zest;
- Then add in the arrowroot starch and the spelt flour;
- Mix until no lumps remain.
- Pour the lemon juice and whisk until combined.
- Pour the egg-lemon mixture over the cooled crust.
- Bake until the topping is set.
- Once the lemon bars are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool at room temperature.
- Cut into lemon squares.
- Refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours and enjoy!
In order to get the cleanest edges for your lemon squares, I recommend allowing these healthy lemon bars to cool before cutting. After the bars are removed from the oven, they continue to cook some. Additionally, the crust needs time to completely cool to be sturdy enough to hold up the lemon filling. All of this requires time and patience. Cool the lemon bars in the pan completely.
Got runny lemon bars? Chances are you either (1) didn't cook it quite long enough or (2) didn't allow it to cool completely before cutting.

Wins: 2
Losses: 0
Draws: 0
From: Ipswich
'I've had a little look at my quarter-final opponent Steven Donnelly – I know all about his pedigree as an Olympian, and he's obviously very good, but I believe I can take him.'
Ish O'Connor has been catapulted into the main draw of Ultimate Boxxer 5 as a late replacement for the unfortunate Aaron Collins, who was forced to withdraw through injury. Originally a karate competitor, O'Connor came to boxing late as a 24-year-old, but with a father, uncle and older brother who were all boxing men, it was no surprise that he eventually succumbed to the lure of the ring. He faces former Olympian Steven Donnelly in the quarter-final – a prospect that does not faze the undefeated prospect from Ipswich
How long have you been boxing?
'Not that long, probably about six years now – I was about 24 when I first got into it at Ipswich ABC.'
What got you into the sport?
'I had an older brother who was into it, and my father and uncle were fighters – my uncle especially fought at a good level in the army – so I became involved after giving football and karate the chop. I caught the bug very quickly, and it helped that I took to it quite naturally too. I'm trained by Jamie Monk at Ipswich Pro Boxing Club, he's incredibly-helpful for me.'
Why Ultimate Boxxer?
'I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity, and it's a great chance for me to get my name out there. i'm in the gym every day – and i'm always ready to fight – so when the call came in I was always going to take it. I've had a little look at my quarter-final opponent Steven Donnelly – I know all about his pedigree as an Olympian, and he's obviously very good, but I believe I can take him. I think he will find it difficult to hit me.'
Why should we make you the favourite for the UB5 Golden Robe?
'Quite simply, because I'm the fastest boxer in the tournament and you're going to see that on the night. I'm going to put on a good show, and I hope I can do my thing on September 20.
When you're training, what's on the music playlist?
'It's a funny one, because I'm not a huge music fan! I'll have stuff on my playlist, but I'm not particularly passionate about a certain type of music. I get my motivation from my family and my kids.'
Who is your favourite fighter?
'Without a doubt it has to be Roy Jones Jnr, an unbelievable fighter.'
What would be your dream fight, if we could transform your weight, height, or put you in a time machine?
'Oh, that's easy, I'm fighting Roy! Get me in there with that man! It would be my dream fight all day long.'

the Origins : Fragments of the Hunt
a silent film of the origins of human culture
Origins presents a compelling argument that human imagination and art was evolved due to ancient art of persistence hunting (running and tracking down animals). The film is loosely based on the doctoral thesis work "Fragments of the Hunt: Persistence Hunting, Tracking and Prehistoric Art" (Aalto University 2017) by researcher and media artist Mikko Ijäs. The thesis deals with the early connection between trance rituals, persistence hunting and visual arts among the early hunter-gatherer societies.
The principal cinematography was executed among the Ju/'hoan hunter-gatherers at the Nyae Nyae Conservancy in the Kalahari desert in Namibia and among the Ráramuri of the Mexican Sierra Madre.
The movie has two parallel story lines. The first layer is the story of how symbolic and visual culture might have originated from persistence hunting. The second layer is the story of how the modern culture is rapidly invading the last bits of land in the Kalahari and in the remote canyons in Northern Mexico and destroying the last indigenous cultures.
During the filming process the hunter-gatherers of the Kalahari have once more faced mass transportations away from their ancestral lands and this time they might actually lose their lands and their culture to give space for western trophy hunters. The drug violence that finally reached the "barrancas" of the Sierra Madre will also jeopardize the fragile culture of the Rarámuri.
The movie tells about the origins of human culture and the struggles of the last indigenous people in the Kalahari and in the Mexican Sierra Madre with minimal explanatory notes telling the
story. The music for the film was composed by Maija Kaunismaa and it was performed together in collaboration with Vox Aurea youth choir from Jyväskylä, Finland, saxophonist Jukka Perko, singer and igil player Imre Peemot and singer Rabbe Sandström. Vox Aurea is specialized performing traditional African music together with their conductor Sanna Salminen.
Produced by Maija Kaunismaa and Mikko Ijäs
Written, directed, filmed and edited by Mikko Ijäs
Composed by Maija Kaunismaa
Music performed by Vox Aurea youth choir with Imre Peemot, Jukka Perko and Rabbe Sandström.
Music produced by Maija Kaunismaa & Aki Sihvonen
Full HD, 16:9, 5.1 Stereo, 60 min.
For more information, please email: email@example.com
The film is done in collaboration with:
Arts Promotion Centre Finland
Alfred Kordelin Foundation
AVEK / The Promotion Centre for Audiovisual Culture
City of Helsinki Cultural Office
Aalto University
People´s Cultural Foundation
and The Nyae Nyae Development Foundation of Namibia.
With special support from Vox Aurea (Jyväskylä, Finland), Luna Sandals (Seattle, US), Jan Ijäs (Finland) Marttiini (Finland), Nicky Marais and Martin Harris (Namibia), Ville Virtanen (Finland), Andies and Annabel Fourie (Salem, US), Barefoot Ted (Seattle, US), Soft Star Shoes (Corvallis, Or, US), Yulan Niu (Finland) and Daniel E. Lieberman (Cambridge, US) and many more...
The film is done to support and to raise awareness towards the indigenous people in the Kalahari in Namibia and Botswana and support the important work done by the Norawas de Rarámuri in the Barrancas of the Sierra Madre, Mexico.
Please consider making even a small DONATION for the production of the Origins-movie.
There will be a percentage paid for the San of the Kalahari and for the Rarámuri of the Sierra Madre of all the proceeds of the final film. Thank you.

Mathematics Awareness Month 2014: Mathematics, Magic, and Mystery
Navigate the Calendar
Fold and One Cut
Can you cut out a perfect five-pointed star from a sheet of paper with a single straight cut? It is claimed (probably falsely) that Betsy Ross knew how to do it, and Harry Houdini wrote about it in his 1922 book Paper Magic. It's easy:
So what other shapes can be made from a sheet of paper by folding it and then making a single straight cut? Or maybe a better question is: What shapes cannot be made this way?
Taking it Further
Here are some simple challenges taken from The Art of Mathematics to get you thinking about how to design these patterns.
- Draw an equilateral triangle. Can you fold the paper and then use one cut to cut it out?
- Next try to do the same thing with a square.
- The examples above and in the videos are shapes with rotational symmetry. Is it necessary for a shape to have rotational symmetry to be possible to make it with one cut?
- Draw an irregular polygon with four sides. Can you fold this shape and cut it out with one cut?
- How about an irregular polygon with five sides?
The pattern for the swan shown below and several other designs by Erik Demaine, along with directions for folding them, can be found here. These patterns include the fold lines. The dash and dot lines are mountain folds, and the dash lines are valley folds. The swan can be cut out with a single straight cut after the paper is folded! Can you do it?
The Underlying Mathematics
Martin Gardner wrote about the fold-and-cut problem in his famous "Mathematical Games" column in Scientific American. His writing on paper cutting can be found in chapter 5 of Sphere Packing, Lewis Carroll, and Reversi: Martin Gardner's New Mathematical Diversions. He leaves it as an open problem to determine which polygons can be obtained via fold-and-one-cut.
In 1998, Erik Demaine, Martin Demaine, and Anna Lubiw solved this decades old problem when they proved the fold-and-cut theorem. The theorem asserts that any shape with straight sides can be cut from a single (idealized) sheet of paper by folding it flat and making a single straight complete cut.
Joseph O'Rourke briefly describes two fold-and-one-cut methods in his Computational Geometry Column 36, in The International Journal of Computational Geometry and Applications (Vol. 9 No. 6, 1999, pp 615–618).
You can watch Professor Demaine give a lecture on fold-and-one-cut, from his course "Geometric Folding Algorithms: Linkages, Origami, Polyhedra" (Fall 2010).

Bear in mind that mixing alcohol and soft or hard drugs can be dangerous. Always keep an eye on your drink when in a pub or nightclub to make sure nobody slips you a pill.
It is illegal to carry weapons such as pepper spray or knives with you in the Netherlands. Instead of protecting yourself you are actually committing a felony. If you are concerned about personal safety late at night then ask a friend to walk you home or take a taxi.

"After the Rain~ New Signs of Growth" and included a picture of a mother cardinal sitting on her nest. I have been watching her progress from a little distance, not wanting to disrupt the natural course of events. Tonight I couldn't help but notice that the baby bird had definitely hatched, as he was sitting up in the nest calling for his mother to come feed him. I was able to get a couple of pictures of him with my telephoto lens, watching out of the corner of my eye for the mother bird to come swooping down on me and chase me away. When I heard the father chirp chirp chirping nearby, I quietly stepped away and went on about my business.
|Baby Cardinal in the nest, chirping for it's mama.
|He was so fuzzy and cute!
|If you look closely you can see the Blue Gray Gnatcatcher, a
female Cardinal, and a red flash of a male Cardinal in the tree.
Not wanting to make matters worse, I stepped back inside and kept watching from our sun porch. I noticed one of the male Cardinals flying around by the fence and hopping up and down and still calling frantically. The other birds seems to have disappeared back into the foliage, and just this one brave father kept trying to keep up the fight...but what was he fighting about? Why was he so excited?
Witnessing this event in nature left me feeling sad and defeated. Why hadn't I noticed the snake in the garden when I was out there taking pictures of the happy little baby bird innocently calling for his mama from the nest? I was so focused on the baby that I never saw the danger that apparently was lurking nearby even while I was so close."Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all cattle, and more than every beast of the field; On your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel." Genesis 3:14-15
Isn't that just like human nature? So often we are so focused on our happy little life and doing what we want to do that we are unaware of the tempter sneaking his way through the garden of our life, seeking whom he may devour and destroy. I Peter 5:5-9 says:
The good news is that when Christ died on the cross, that old serpent, Satan, was dealt a death blow. Satan thought that by sending Christ to the cross, he, Satan, would finally be able to rule and reign on the earth. What he didn't count on was that Christ did not stay in the tomb...He conquered death and all its foes when He arose victoriously from the grave three days later. Christ is alive today, and is ever interceding on behalf of His beloved creation. Satan will get his final just desserts in the end...read Revelation 20:10...when he is cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where he will be tormented day and night forever and ever...
All this because a baby bird got eaten by a snake in my garden? Well, that is just a microcosm of what the serpent Satan has been trying to do to humanity ever since he was expelled from Eden. But we can rejoice, because we know the bigger picture...and the end of the story. If this life is all there is, we are of all people most miserable.

A Georgia senator introduced legislation Monday to allow metro Atlanta counties to impose a 1 percent sales tax for transit – if they let MARTA run their transit systems.
Senate Bill 386, sponsored by Sen. Brandon Beach, R-Alpharetta, also would consolidate transit planning and construction for metro Atlanta under a new board under the Georgia Regional Transportation Agency.
As The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported last week, the bill is this year's first attempt to remake transit planning and funding in metro Atlanta. But it likely won't be the last. The House is expected to unveil similar legislation as soon as this week.
SB 386 would create a new regional board to oversee transit expansion in the 13 counties served by GRTA: Cherokee, Clayton, Coweta, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Henry, Paulding and Rockdale.
The new board would have to approve the list of projects for any referendum put to voters in any county in the region.
The General Assembly also is expected to consider a major boost to state funding for transit.
The AJC's David Wickert keeps you updated on the latest in what's happening with transportation in metro Atlanta and Georgia. You'll find more on myAJC.com, including these stories:
- Former MARTA exec sentenced to 33 months in $500,000 scheme

Measuring Drug-Related Terrorist Activity in Mexico
The September 2009 grenade attack on in Morelia, Michoacan, which left eight people dead and 37 wounded, formally inaugurated this new phase of drug violence, which has since intensified.
Broadly speaking, the new type of violence is characterized by:
(i) Emblematic assassinations. Whereas the cartels previously used the executions of subordinates to send a message of dissatisfaction to higher-ranking officials, they are now more frequently going directly after those officials and politicians who threaten their operations, or against emblematic figures in order to send a message to the political class. Recent assassinations, such as that of Rodolfo Torre Cantu, the PRI's gubernatorial candidate in the state of Tamaulipas on June 29th, or the killing of Santiago mayor Edelmiro Cavazos August 22nd in Nuevo Leon, are examples of their changing tactics.
(ii) Increased use of explosives; greater sophistication. The July 16th car bomb in Ciudad Juarez, which left four people dead and scores wounded, is an illustration of the increasing use of explosives by cartels and their cells, as well the greater sophistication in the preparation of these attacks. Both the assassinations of Torre Cantu and Cavazos also evidenced well-rehearsed and highly coordinated plans. This modus operandi contrasts with previous uses of violence, which tended to be less sophisticated. Interestingly, recent operations against the cartels have uncovered training camps similar to those used by terrorist organizations in the Middle East, along with espionage equipment and sophisticated explosives.
(iii) Targeting of civilians. While civilians have frequently been collateral victims of intra cartel violence, the deliberate targeting of civilians is on the rise, with cartels commonly killing entire families or even friends of their enemies, along with anybody who resists their extortionate demands. The latter was the case in the recent killing of 72 undocumented migrants on August 23rd who refused the demands of their captors. At the same time, cartels are increasingly willing to use explosives against civilians. For instance, on August 28th, groups apparently connected to Los Zetas detonated a series of hand grenades at different points near downtown Reynosa, Tamaulipas, leaving 15 civilians wounded, nine of whom were hospitalized. Finally, last September 15th, authorities in Cancun, Quintana Roo, frustrated plans by an armed group with ties to Los Zetas to carry out a grenade attack on revelers at the bicentennial celebrations.
(iv) Mounting attacks against authorities and journalists. During 2010 there has been a sharp increase in kidnappings and executions ("levantamientos") of law enforcement officials and journalists investigating drug-trafficking activities or connections between cartels and public officials, along with constant threats directed against law enforcement agencies, newspapers, media companies and their directors.
A Matter of Semantics?
Official statements so far have abstained from using the word "terrorism" to avoid causing widespread panic and deepening market fears. Nevertheless, the reality is that the events and the trends described above have crossed over into the realm of terrorism.
Although definitions of terrorism tend to vary according to political context, most accepted definitions cite the use of brutal violence as a means to coerce individuals or society to yield to specific demands. For example, the U.S. Department of Defense defines terrorism as "the calculated use of unlawful violence or threat of unlawful violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological."
Like other terrorist organizations worldwide, Mexican cartels are resorting to terrorism as a means to intimidate and coerce authorities into abandoning specific policies. This strategy also serves to prove that they have the capacity, resources, and willingness to answer to any provocations by the government.
The underlying difference between acts of terrorism carried out by cartels in Mexico and those used by extremist groups in the Middle East or Europe (e.g. the ETA in Spain) is the lack of a fundamental political or religious ideology motivating them. In Mexico, the rationale for the cartels is to protect their multimillion-dollar operations.
It is this economic rationale that explains hard-to-fathom acts of violence such as the recurrent attacks against rehab centers, whose main object is to drive addicts away from recovery and back into consumption (see our special report from July 29th).
Objectives of Drug-Related Terrorism
Aside from their key objectives of coercion and intimidation, the escalation of violence by cartels aims to undermine the authority of the state by fomenting a chaotic environment and demonstrating the government's incapacity to guarantee the security of its citizens.
The best-known modern example of drug-related terrorism is that of Colombia. This South American country experienced a brutal period between 1989 and 2000 during which powerful drug cartels (the Medellin Cartel under Pablo Escobar and the Cali Cartel in particular) fought the government with a campaign of terror. This was characterized by summary executions of civilians, car bomb attacks, armed assaults on government buildings, kidnappings and assassinations of government officials and politicians, and even the hijacking and exploding of civilian airliners.
In Colombia, the cartels also financed and influenced various armed insurgent groups (a remote yet possible scenario in Mexico) as a means to create a chaotic environment that would allow them greater freedom to operate.
This strategy of terror led the country into social crisis and political vacuum—with the state losing control of large parts of the country's territory—the consequences of which are still being experienced today.
Sowing a Little Anarchy
Evidence in Mexico demonstrates that the drug cartels have realized some success in sowing chaos in particular regions in which they operate, as well as changing internal and external perceptions about the country's security situation.
Earlier this month, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she was concerned about the escalating "insurgency in Mexico," implicitly likening the situation to that of countries such as Iraq in past years, or more recently, Afghanistan. Although her comments were later softened by President Barack Obama and high-ranking officials at the State Department to avoid creating frictions with the Mexican government, the fact is that external perceptions about the country's security are rapidly deteriorating.
Clearly, the perception of lawlessness is more acute in those regions that have long been affected by drug violence. For instance, after cartels murdered one of its reporters on September 16th, the Ciudad Juarez newspaper El Diario responded, "If the goal of these killings is to convince us that the cartels are the de facto authorities [in Chihuahua], that has been very clear for several years."
The result has been growing skepticism regarding the state's security policies that translates into increased political costs for the Calderon administration's security strategy. Likewise, because much of President Calderon's original political capital was founded on his perceived toughness against organized crime, this growing skepticism has translated into a loss of popular support for the president.
Deepening Cycles of Violence
Like Colombia in the early years of the terror campaign, the use of these tactics in Mexico is characterized by the multiplicity of actors involved. In the context of a war of attrition between cartels and the state, this situation tends to lead to deepening cycles of violence as rival cartels are pushed to ever-greater lengths to win fear and respect—at least until the state manages to put down the most belligerent cartels. These cycles were present in Colombia and are key to understanding the emergence of terrorist activity in Mexico.
At the same time, the use of terrorist tactics by various groups, as opposed to a single actor, makes it all the more difficult for authorities to identify those responsible for such acts, much less to eradicate the problem by putting an end to a single cartel (a highly ambitious, yet attainable goal).
This was the case with the 2009 Morelia terrorist attack. Preliminary investigations pointed to members of cartel of La Familia as the authors of the attack. An alternative hypothesis is that Los Zetas carried out the attack in an attempt to further set the government against La Familia. In the end, the government carried out a few arrests (acting on tips provided by other criminal groups), but it was never able to bring in those who masterminded the attack, and thus never presented any firm conclusions to the public or attributed the attack to any particular cartel.
Mexican Cartels and International Terrorism
In this new wave of violence, there have also been warning signs that Mexican drug cartels may be willing to take actions that cross over to international terrorism.
Under the U.S. legal code, international terrorism is defined as "activities that appear to be intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population, to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion, or to affect the conduct of a government by assassination or kidnapping." According to the same definition, these acts occur primarily outside the territorial jurisdiction of the U.S. or transcend national boundaries in terms of the means by which they are accomplished, the persons they intend to intimidate or coerce, or the locale in which their perpetrators operate. Just as with the general definition of terrorism the motives are commonly ideological, religious, or political.
Although relatively minor in scale, the Juarez Cartel's killings of U.S. consulate employees and their relatives in Ciudad Juarez on March 14th fall under such a definition. Upon investigating the assassinations, Mexican authorities discovered that the motive behind the attack was to draw the U.S. government's attention to the alleged favoritism exercised by the Calderon administration towards the Sinaloa Cartel.
Nevertheless, the possibility of more attacks against U.S. nationals (both diplomatic personnel and private citizens) aiming to pressure the U.S. government should not be discounted. Cartels have on different occasions thrown grenades at U.S. consulates in northern states. It is no coincidence that U.S. State Department has requested their diplomatic personnel in the state of Nuevo Leon to take their children out of the country as a security measure against the rapidly deteriorating situation in this state currently disputed by Los Zetas and the Gulf Cartel.
At the same time, there is a growing danger that Mexican drug cartels may reproduce and intensify their terrorist tactics in Central America, where they have greatly increased their presence in order to secure new transit routes. The countries of Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras, where the bulk of drug trafficking activity in the region is concentrated, have seen the worst of the violence. The combined drug-related executions(DREs) in these countries during 2009 were nearly double those in Mexico during the same year. This surging violence has been attributed to turf wars between Los Zetas and the Sinaloa Cartel over control of key transit routes. These cartels have also incorporated local criminal groups into their feud. Furthermore, in March 2009, Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom as well as other high-level politicians in these countries received death threats that have been traced to Los Zetas.
Clearly, should a Mexican cartel attempt to assassinate a high-level government official from one of these Central American countries, it would automatically gain a spot in the U.S. State Department's list of international terrorist organizations—not to mention the serious consequences that such an attack would have on the political and economic stability in these countries, which have notably weaker institutions than Mexico or Colombia.
So far, the U.S. government has not yet branded any Mexican cartel as a terrorist organization, as it did with paramilitary groups financed by cartels in Colombia. However, we can foresee this happening in the future, with Los Zetas (Mexico's most belligerent criminal organization) well placed to be first on the list.
Monitoring Terrorist Activity: Relevance and Initial Methodology
Since the outset of Mexico's offensive against drug cartels, we have used DREs as the best proxy in measuring the dimensions of the conflict between rival cartels and between cartels and the state. We have also relied on DREs to monitor levels of violence in those states with concentrated trafficking activity. However, as explained in our Rule of Law and Security Update of July 21st, the increasing use of terrorist tactics by drug cartels necessitates a different type of methodology—one that distinguishes between traditional drug violence and those attacks which are properly described as acts of terrorism.
For instance, the execution of a mayor or a gubernatorial candidate can't be classified as just another DRE; it has a different meaning and greater ramifications. At the same time, on the scale of terrorist tactics, a grenade thrown at a crowd of civilians differs from the targeted assassination of a high-level government official.
Why Monitor Terrorist Activity?
Evidence from the Colombian experience suggests that the incipient use of terrorist tactics in Mexico is likely to escalate as the war between the cartels and the state intensifies and some cartels decide to engage into a war of attrition with the Mexican state.
Even in a scenario where DREs decline, the increased use of terrorist tactics could lead to an even sharper deterioration in quality of life for citizens in regions bitterly contested by the cartels. This deterioration of security conditions could have important destabilizing effects at the political and economic levels. Hence, there is a need to track the frequency and sophistication of such attacks.
An Initial Approach
In a first attempt to monitor the use of terrorist tactics by Mexican drug cartels and define a series of parameters of drug violence, we have created an index consisting of seven levels of terrorist activity. Each level comprises a series of incidents that have actually occurred either in Mexico or Colombia as well as a number of potential developments. These have been grouped according to different criteria, including: i) the gravity of each action in terms of purpose and its modus operandi; ii) social, political, and geographical context; iii) media impact and social perception; and iv) potential effects on social, political, and economic stability.
Level ONE represents the intensification from ordinary drug violence (i.e., mostly taking place at the intra-cartel level—with limited attacks against authorities) into a number of basic acts of terrorism, judged according to the current context and dynamics that have characterized the phenomenon; Level SEVEN represents the most critical and potentially destabilizing situations.
For instance, even though this isn't in itself an act of terrorism, we consider monthly DREs above the one-thousand mark to be an important threshold, given the ramifications that these extremely high levels of violence have on social and market perceptions, as well as the impression of lawlessness and impunity that such a level of violence conveys.
Drug-Related Terrorist Activity in Mexico
A Note on the Methodology
Many questions may arise concerning the criteria used to categorize the different types of actions or situations in the table above. Although we would like to dedicate more space to explaining these criteria, this will be done meticulously in the months ahead as we continue working on the index and as testing and refinement take place. In this context, it is important to note this is EMPRA's first attempt to measure drug-related terrorism activity in Mexico, and we will continue to revise and improve our approach toward monitoring this threat. Feedback and comments are welcomed.
The goal is to be able to monitor the evolution of this phenomenon with increased precision and to eventually be able to anticipate spikes of terrorist activity, as we have successfully done with levels of DREs during the past few years. This will allow us to construct more accurate risk scenarios.
Monitoring will take place on a monthly basis, although results may be presented via bimonthly or quarterly updates.
Final Considerations
Notwithstanding the definitions discussed above, the fact is that much of the most recent violence is already perceived by the public as terrorism. The combination of spiraling drug violence and the growing use of terrorist tactics has begun affecting public perceptions at the local, national and international levels, causing support to dwindle for Calderon's offensive against the cartels.
Although it is known that the Calderon administration has been weighing the possibility of using the word 'terrorism' to label some of the violence by Mexican cartels, a number of officials within his inner circle fear the word will be mishandled by critics to highlight the failures of Calderon's strategy of confrontation towards the cartels.
Our view is that the Calderon administration will sooner or later have to incorporate this word into its lexicon when discussing particular acts of violence in Mexico. Indeed, employing such rhetoric may help Calderon by consolidating backing for his security policies among voters—provided his administration can successfully use it to galvanize public outrage against the cartels. As noted above, the experience in Colombia suggests that Mexico is still at an early stage in the use of terrorist tactics by cartels.


text: I just picked up a FDII MF, basically because I got a good deal on a mint condition used one. I've owned the OCD, which seemed harsh to me, as well as the ChoralFlange, which also seemed to lack something, but I'd heard good things about the FDII MF, so I thought I'd give Fulltone pedals another shot. Here are my initial impressions. The Barber Tone Pump EQ--along with the Burn Unit--has been my main boost/low-mid gain box for a while now. Ever since I first tried the Barber pedals, I felt they added a certain sweetness to my tone that I hadn't encountered before in other stomp boxes. Very inspiring, with great clarity and harmonics. While I admire the quality and design features of the FDII MF, it simply lacks the sweetness of the TP EQ. The "vintage" setting sounds like a good tubescreamer, and the "FM" setting sounds like a tubescreamer with added highs and the mids scaled back. To be fair, the FDII MF is a very nice pedal, but everything's relative, so for now I'll stick with the Barber due to it's sweetness and clarity. By the way, if you haven't tried the Burn Unit, you're missing out on a real treat. That being said, I'm coming up fast on the KOT waiting list, so the KOT will get a fair shot at the title. Until then, the Barber Tone Pump EQ is still my go-to pedal for boost/low-mid gain magic.

Hot Summer Tips for Bugs, Bites and Better Digestion
Our popular summertime enzyme tips are back.
Along with the heat, humidity, and bugs come more outdoor activities for the kids – which means more chance of bumps, bites, and bruises.
We have emphasized how enzymes help digestion, but there are other uses for these enzymes, especially for this time of year.
For minor stings, make a poultice of AFP-Peptizyde onto the sting as quickly as possible. Apple cider vinegar is a good liquid to dissolve the enzymes as it itself is often used for insect stings and has a pH of around 5 which is the optimal pH level for the enzymes to work. White vinegar has a pH that may be too low, but water is also a good medium; the enzymes will still do their work.
Alternatively, you can soak the finger or area with an enzyme solution (4 capsules per 3 tablespoons of warm water or cider vinegar).
Many of the toxins in bee and wasp stings are peptide in nature, and the proteases can break those toxins down as well as reduce the swelling. Make sure the enzyme powder gets moist as the enzymes won't activate until in solution.
Of course, this advice is not applicable to those who are highly allergic to insect stings and bites. If you do have anaphylactic reactions to insect stings, remember to keep your "epi pens" handy!
Watch our video for making the enzyme solution for bug bites:
Minor bruises can be reduced by taking AFP-Peptizyde every 4 hours (at least 3 capsules) for 2 days after the incident.
Grass stains in clothes can be a problem. Make a paste of AFP-Peptizyde and work into the stain, let sit for 30 minutes, then wash out.
I'm betting you're eating a lot of fresh food from the garden. Many of us have a hard time digesting fibrous raw or steamed veggies. Add in some No-Fenol with those meals.
Remember that many of the fruits and vegetables we eat during the summer are highly phenolic. No-Fenol can reduce the reactions from those intolerances so the kids can enjoy all the blueberries, watermelon, cherries, and peaches they want.
Our starch intake increases during summer as well, so keep Zyme Prime or ZyCarb handy for those ears of corn you'll be munching on the 4th of July.
Barbecuing ribs on the grill? Remember the Lypazyme for extra help digesting fats.
Whatever you eat, we hope you enjoy your summer.

Tonight marks one of my favorite concert-going nights of the year: it's time for the annual Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes Summerstage extravaganza outside at the Stone Pony. It's the height of summer, right before the Fourth, with plenty of cold beer at a (somewhat) reasonable price, and the chance to see Southside back home at the place where the Jukes were born, and to share the experience with several thousand of your closest friends. Sounds like fun, doesn't it?
This year, the Asbury Park Musical Heritage Foundation is celebrating Southside and the Jukes long history in the city by the sea with a special exhibit, "Reach Up and Touch the Sky," to be held at the foundation's new space at 708 Cookman Ave. in downtown Asbury.
The exhibit, which opens today, will feature photographs and rare memorabilia chronicling Southside and the Jukes' lengthy career and their interaction with other local musical icons, including Bruce Springsteen, Steve Van Zandt and Jon Bon Jovi (did you know, for example, that Bon Jovi once toured with Southside, briefly becoming a Juke in 1990?).
Ocean Grove native Southside Johnny Lyon cut his musical teeth at The Upstage Club, right down the street from the Musical Heritage Foundation's space, performing there with musicians like Springsteen, Van Zandt, Garry W. Tallent, Danny Federici, Vini "Mad Dog" Lopez, and Bill Chinnock. The Jukes have been recording albums since 1976, and their record-release party at a packed Stone Pony on Memorial Day weekend that year has become the stuff of Asbury legend.
More than 100 musicians can claim to have been Jukes at one time or another, and the Jukes have left a serious musical legacy. For some (and that probably includes me), their horn-drenched, soul-inspired sound is most closely associated with the so-called
"Sound of Asbury Park."
The exhibit draws it's name from a line in the Little Steven-penned "I Don't Want to Go Home," which has become a kind of summer anthem, at least in certain parts of the Shore. The exhibit is open today from noon to 6 p.m., and an official reception will be held on Saturday at 7 p.m. The exhibit and reception are free.

I'm having the same issue I had in 2012 with my W520 laptop. Back then, it was still under warranty so I sent the laptop back for repair. This time I'm trying to fix the issue myself.
I have no backlight, I can see a faint image at boot but when the graphic card take over the onboard graphics, the screen is all black. I tried to plug it to an external display and there's an image but Windows doesn't detect my main monitor. I thought it may be a driver issue so I tried to update my drivers but with no luck. When I tried to disable the graphic card (thinking it would revert to on board graphics) I lost all display. Also, the keyboard stopped working at the same time I lost backlight (I had the same issue in 2012, screen backlight and keyboard failed at the same time)
After dismanteling the laptop and testing fuses, I've found out that the fuse F24 has gone bad. I'd like to replace it and I think it's a 500mA, 32V fuse. I don't know where I can buy one. I saw a bunch on Digi-Key but there are so much to choose from.
I know the part size , current and voltage rating but I don't know what melting I^2t I should go for.
The part on the schematic I found online is FUSE-500MA32V-GP,
Thanks for your help

The 0.5 amp fuse is the one that controls the LEDs on the LED sub card. (the status LEDs inside the lid) The backlight is a 2 or 3 amp fuse. It is usually near the cable location, either on the top or bottom of the board. I don't remember if it is 2 or 3 amps. They are made by Littelfuse and you can buy them from Mouser Electronics. The 0.5 amp fuse often blows at the same time as the backlight fuse.

I am a software tester. I am an advocate for rapid and creative testing. Think and do not follow!
I am formally a chemist where I managed an Ambient Air Analysis laboratory. Our laboratory had many other divisions analyzing water, soil, and other tests that had to comply to EPA protocols. All of these protocols were based on a documented government standard. The irony of analyzing environmental standards relative to protocols was that if you found a better way to test for something, you were WRONG! You could get the governing body to draft an amendment to the protocol or actually convert it to a new standard, but it most likely would take years.
Because some of us do things differently in testing software are we WRONG?
One funny story is that to do environmental analysis you had to have "certified" reference standards. I discovered on a audit/tour of a gas standards company that the standards they were selling were certified against an expired standard. The further irony was that the some gas standard companies certify their newly generated standards against standards they themselves had prepared. I created the certification standard and I sell "certified" standards to the public. Sure seems like a wolf in the hen house.
One of the most frustrating things about working in the environmental laboratory were the government audits. If you did not follow protocol to the letter you risk large fines and even loss of business. Something as simple as failing to put your initials in a laboratory logbook or an expired training record could result in a fine.
I believe I was a good chemist solving real world environmental problems. When the lab got bought and I was told to only run samples of this kind in compliance with this standard to maximize profit. I changed careers! I was no longer permitted to innovate and solve environmental challenges.
When I hear debates like the one on ISO 29119, all of those laboratory frustrations resurface. Today I lead a fantastic team that test a family of web sites designed to help create fun vacations for families and groups of friends. Does an ever changing website really need to comply with some standard? I think not. Do we want a quality product that delights our customers. Absolutely!
Now there may be software that requires a high degree of rigor and I get that. Just because you follow some guidance does not mean the software complies with a standard.
In the business of analyzing gas samples the oracle was a certified reference standard. What is the oracle for "Perfect Software"?
I also worked for a software company that was attempting to achieve a high level of CMMI certification. The work became sit in review meetings 8 hours a day, then find time to actually test the software. This routine involved test plans in word documents, test matrices, change control on test cases, and so on. I do not want to go back to that routine.
My vote is test software with a high degree of technical creativity, find the bugs, and never follow any mandated guidance.
Honestly if I get a copy of ISO 29119, I will probably read it as a reference of what not to do!
Happy Testing!

Tandems are a well proven form of exchange in learning languages. Why not use this idea in other fields of activity? That's what the European Trainer Teacher Tandem aims at. An effective exchange of knowledge and improvements of teaching in the diverse vocational education and training systems are the objectives of the project.
The European Trainer Teacher Tandem (ETT Tandem) project is funded by the European Union within the framework of the Erasmus+ programme "Cooperation and Innovation for Good Practices Strategic Partnerships for vocational education and training". The project has been running since 2014 and will be completed in 2017.
In the framework of the European programme Erasmus+, trainers and teachers of vocational education of Italy, Spain, Greece, Denmark, Austria and Germany are brought together in tandems in their real training environments.
During six transnational meetings, two trainers or teachers from the European partner countries execute jointly selected parts of the practical training, either at the enterprise or in another practical learning environment. This procedure of direct and active one-on-one experience helps getting to know other systems of vocational education and enables immediate practical exchange. Trainers for example from the dual training systems of Austria and Germany pass on their practical training skills to teachers and trainers of school-based vocational education systems.
Finally, the results of the pilot project converge into one transferable model of trainer teacher tandems as mobility action within the lifelong learning process of teachers and trainers. This ETT Tandem Model will give the possibility to improve and integrate special elements into practice by teaching together and learning from each other.
This project is funded by the European Commission. This publication reflects the views only of the authors. The European Commission cannot be held responsible for any use which may be made of the information contained therein.

|Big Pumpkin Ale
|Home Brewing Recipes
Baker Street Ales Associate Brewer
Arny Lands
|Beer Nexus
the crossroads of the beer world
Well it's that time of year when taphandles are overtaken by
pumpkin ales. There is a sense of a challenge in making one, and
the question of how and when to add the pumpkin.
As a chef/brewer I have often made a seasonal pumpkin soup in
wich you take out the seeds and stringy stuff and then bake the
pumpkin in the oven to soften it up. After that you mix it with
water to make the base of the soup. This is what I decided to try
with my Big Pumpkin Ale.
Before we begin please refer to my belgian triple recipe for info
on sanitizing equipment and later on priming, fermenting
and bottling.
Ingredients :
2 cans pale malt extract
1 can amber malt extract
1# crushed crystal malt
1 8 to 10 lb pumpkin
3 oz cascade hops (boil)
1 oz east kent golding hops (aroma)
High Gravity Ale Yeast
1 cinnamon stick
1/4 t nutmeg
1/8 t allspice
1/2 t ginger
1) Before brewing we need to remove the flesh of the pumkin
and throw away the seeds and stringystuff. Next we have to bake
the flesh in the oven at 350 for about 45 minutes or until it soften
When the flesh softens you will need to mash it up like potatoes.
2) Place 2 and 3/4 gallons of water in the brewpot and stir in
the pumpkin. Bring to 150 degrees an hold for 1 hour. Stir
occasionally and when necessary add heat to stay close to 150.
3) Then add the crushed crystal to a grain bag and place in the
brewpot and bring the temp up to 160 and hold for thirty minutes.
4) Remove the grain bag and bring the pot up to boiling. Add the
canned malt extract stirring frequently. You will be adding more
canned malt than usual so be sure to use a big enough pot and
boil longer.
5) Now add your cascade hops: first ounce at boil then after 15
minutes add the second ounce and then after 15 minutes add the
third ounce and boil for 1 hour.
6) Add one half oz of your east kent golding hops, cinnamon
stick, nutmeg and half the ginger and boil for15 minutes.
7) Turn off the heat and add the rest of the hops and ginger. Stir
it up and let it sit 5 minutes. Then cool the wort, transfer to
carboy add pitch yeast as per instructions.
It may be a lot of work,but it's also a lot of fun - especially when
you drink this great beer! I hope it works out for you.
Good Brewing and Cheers!

mouarg: My 64 GB OPO arrived this morning! Didnt have to pay any duty [thanks to InsaneKiwi's advice ]
Loving it so far. Super grunty and easy to use. Camera quality is awesome, have taken a few outdoor pics in the sun. Have not tested pics in low light or when indoors.
Picking up LTE so looks like its the right version for VF 4G.
Maxed out the 3D Mark Ice Storm Extreme test. Scored 19762 in the 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited Android benchmark test. http://bit.ly/3dmark-android. My collegaues HTC One M7 scored only 8K in the unlimited test.
Signed up for a Cynogenmod account and have recieved three software updates so far. Running 4.4.4 CynogenMod v11.0-XNPH30O and has just prompted me that XNPH33R is available, should I?
Has exceeded my expectations so far and I can't see the yellow screen issue. Will google and see how to spot it.
Mantis: I have two more invites, who wants them?
I think they'll expire tomorrow afternoon/night so you'll need to use them quickly. Currently showing two days left.
The little things make the biggest difference.
Shindig: ARe the invites for the international model direct from OnePlus? Sold from the states, hence the use of YouShop??
mckenndk:Shindig: ARe the invites for the international model direct from OnePlus? Sold from the states, hence the use of YouShop??
They sure are
The little things make the biggest difference.
mrtoken: enjoy it mouarg, I would get one but I am waiting for the nexus 6/x to see what that will be.
If the nexus 6 is no good or to big then I will get a one+ as CynogenMod is a major selling point for me.
mrtoken: How do you guys find the 5.5" screen?
To big or just right?
Insanekiwi: Very happy for you mate. Don't look for yellow screen. If you don't see it - just leave it at that. :-)
5.5" seems big at first but you will be surprised how fast you get used to it. I used OPO for a week then gave it to my wife who likes big phones for Youtubes - and going back to my M8 was like going back to iPhone 4....
I agree with nice camera - front and back. Takes really nice shots.

The Syrian economy was promising at a time, and Syria was one of resettlements for refugees of other countries. However, the last few years of war disabled economical activity and put Syria in worst humanitarian and economic crisis for the time being until the mid of 2018 and still the situation is very bad without any promising sign putting an end to this situation.
Since the beginning of protests in Syria in 2011, around half million people was killed in addition to 75% of doctors and medical field workers who ran away.
Also, since upsurge of fighting more than six million people was forcibly displaced from their homes finding another safe place within Syrian borders. According to united nation humanitarian organization reports there were nearly 6550 Syrian citizens run away to live in non- official shelters or settlements or even abandoned buildings along the borders of turkey in north Syria.
Though earlier, Syria has a strong educational system as primary school enrollment rate had reached nearly 100% and secondary schools 70%. Unfortunately, this case was changed as there are more than 1.75 million Syrian children and youth did not get their chance to be educated. Moreover, third of Syrian schools or even more was damaged or totally destroyed or even used as shelters for displaced people. In addition to Syrian suffering from children malnutrition as nearly 1.7 million child, pregnant or breastfeeding women are suffering from acute malnutrition.
Additionally, a lot of Syrian areas affected by war suffering from lack of water and essential sanitary services because of pump and pipes failure which increase the danger of spreading epidemic diseases as daily person share in some of these areas which contains the largest number of refugees has reached 22 liters which is not equal even the tenth of daily American share in water.
Although Syria owns some of the oil reserve, however production is no longer as it was before reaching its peak in 2002 by producing 677 hundred barrels daily. Unfortunately, since war outbreak until now production was decreased reaching 25,00 barrels daily only. Also, evolving armed conflict in Syria affected agriculture, resulting in destroying agricultural production which leads to lose more than 16 billion dollars of crops and animal production and destruction of agricultural sources.
These crises had evolved acuity of poverty in Syria which dropped by 70% after war outbreak. Nowadays, country became one of the most countries suffering from inflation as in December 2017 inflation rate was 43.2 %, unemployment of more than half of the citizens and 82.5% lives below poverty line.
These facts about poverty in Syria helps in giving a better understanding to harsh situation of affected areas which force different countries, organizations, charitable associations and benefactors try to meet humanitarian call and support by offering donations. Actually, charitable organizations of good reputation including UNCHR, UNICEF, MSF, Red Crescent and a lot of non-profit charitable organizations like Sham humanitarian foundation try to offer aids to millions of affected Syrian citizens who suffers from privation, poverty and absence of essential good life needs.

3 Amazing Career Programs In KL/PJ To Kickstart Your New Job
Figuring out how to navigate through working life can be a struggle. Coming straight out of college or university, it might even feel like a culture shock! Things are a little different when you start work. Expectations are higher and you'll have to work with many different characters (sometimes those that are totally opposite from yours).
In college or school, these things are temporary. After the term's over, you'll likely not have to see that person again, especially if you both didn't really vibe with each other. But work is a long-term thing! Luckily, Kuick Culture has thought this all through and are presenting a series of programmes to help us all be better prepared for the workplace.
Scroll through the programmes and see if any of them fits your needs. The best part? They're all free so you won't have to spend money picking up these super useful skills.
Tighten your customer service skills
Are you working in the customer service department? You'll find that you need great social skills because you'll be dealing with people most of the time. As the saying goes, customers are always right and customer service executives need to be approachable, helpful and even cheerful at all times!
Some people naturally have these skills, but some of us may need a little more practice. Think Codex's CENTRIC Customer Service Excellence Simulation allows you to do just that as it creates a real-life working environment so you can have a go at handling a work situation. It focuses on service excellence, service quality and situational awareness so you'll better serve others!
During the programme hosted by Andrew Lau, CEO and Co-Founder of Think Codex, you can apply specific customer service theories to the problems presented to you. You'll also have time to try different methods to achieve more effective outcomes in the workplace. The host will also help you to have a personal improvement plan so you can identify the areas you can work on.

They will be delivered to the hospice this week.
This week, we received some external examination results and had an external moderator in school to assess the portfolios for some of our diploma subjects in the Sixth Form. We are delighted to announce that several distinction grades were attained by our students in both examinations and portfolios. The grade of distinction is equivalent to an A grade at A Level. Congratulations to our Health and Social Care and Business Studies students on an excellent set of results.

On Thursday 7th February, some of our Year 10 and 11 pupils took part in the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust's Mathematical Challenge. The girls were given 25 challenging problems to solve in 60 minutes. No calculators were allowed, only a pen, a pencil and some plain paper. Their papers have been sent off to Leeds University for marking and we look forward to receiving their results soon!
Here are 2 questions from the challenge for you to try.
a. -17 b. -11 c. 31 d. 37 e. 43
2. Two numbers, x and y, have a product which is equal to their sum. Express x in terms of y.
As part of the Health and Social Care course, Year 12 have to show how they can communicate effectively with younger pupils. This week, Year 12 have worked with some of our Year 7 girls. Hannah helped the girls to understand glacial erosion by building models of landforms out of Lego with them. Amelia supported their learning by showing Year 7 how to use Google Docs and Slides so they could all collaborate on the same slide presentation about glacial depositions. It was a really valuable experience for both Years 7 and 12 and Year 12 showed that they had wonderful communication skills in both individual and group work.
The U13 netball team were in action against Ormiston Victory Academy on Wednesday afternoon. The girls displayed a lot of skill in both attack and defence throughout the match and great team work led them to a 13-7 victory. Player of the match, awarded by the opposition, went to Emily Gi. Well done, girls!

Aeroshell W100 is an ashless, SAE 50 dispersant oil that provides excellent service in all four cycle aircraft piston engines.
We understand your desire for low-cost, dependable flight. You can rely on AeroShell products to help protect your engine, reduce its maintenance costs and improve its efficiency. Whether you fly for pleasure or your business depends on flight, AeroShell products are designed to help lift your performance.
Single Grade Ashless Dispersant Oils
AeroShell Oils W80, W100 and W120 are ashless dispersant oils specifically developed for aviation piston engines. They combine non-metallic additives with selected high viscosity index base oils to give exceptional stability, dispersancy and anti-foaming performance. No general rule exists for every engine type when choosing the correct grade of oil; however, based on the average ambient outside temperature at engine start-up the most common grades are SAE 40, SAE 50 and SAE 60, which equates to AeroShell Oil W80, W100 and W120 respectively.
Traditionally, the choice is associated with climatic zones - AeroShell W80 for cold climate regions (-17 - 21°C), AeroShell Oil W100 for temperate regions (15 - 30°C) and AeroShell Oil W120 for warmer climates (above 26°C).
AeroShell Oils W80, W100 and W120 are produced to meet fully the SAE specification J-1899 (Grades SAE 30, 40, 50 and 60 respectively). Furthermore, they all have military qualification approval and are listed on the Qualified Products List (QPL) issued by the US Navy and on the Technically Acceptable Products List (TAPL) issued by the UK Ministry of Defence. The blending plants employed to manufacture these oils also hold the approval of the specification authorities and this ensures that the high quality standard is always maintained.
Exactly as ordered. Thank you
As always, better than expected service.
This is the oil we are currently using, but this review is more about Aircraft Spruce. Order was processed, picked, packed and shipped the same day. Great service and shipping from Aircraft Spruce. Highly recommend them.
Good stuff and slick too! Right on time
I use AeroShell W100 Plus in my plane exclusively. I recently ordered oil for my next oil change and due to my own ordering error, I received AeroShell W100. Due to high shipping costs, it was not economical to return the oil for exchange, so I then purchased a bottle of Cam Guard which I will use this oil change. I will then return to the AeroShell W100 Plus I normally use. Great lubricant, Ive used AeroShell since my first plane ownership in 1977.
Lycoming 320 runs good, no deposits.
Its amazing. I laughed. I cried. Its much better than the musical Cats.
Competitive Price fairly fast delivery.
Works fine in my old 0-320
Per the supplier: it has a 4 year shelf life.
No. It was purely a marketing change. The material is exactly the same as before the bottle and case packaging was changed.
A quart of oil weighs approximately 2 lbs.
Aeroshell 100 Mineral oil/Break in oil
Aeroshell W100 Regular SAE50 oil
Aeroshell W100 Plus Regular SAE50 oil with a rust/corrosion protection additive
It is ashless dispersant oil. Mineral is break in oil, ashless dispersant oil is what you would use after the break in period.
Each case of oil weighs approximately 25 lbs.
