Just wondering whether any publisher would like to publish the novella 'Weirdtongue' (by DF Lewis). I've not submitted it anywhere, although various versions have been stored by myself on the internet. If nobody is interested, I shall probably publish it myself through Lulu.Please pass this message on. I shall probably be taking the Lulu option around August 2010 time, if I hear nothing.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard about mushroom coffee. Spearheaded by a Finnish company by the name of FourSigmatic, their various blends of fungi with instant coffee have been recommended by everyone from nootropedia to Tim Ferriss on his podcast. Since the majority of you are actually looking for ways to move away from coffee rather than make it more stimulating, it made me wonder, could mushroom elixirs act as a complete stand in for coffee? Or I guess the real question is: are mushrooms a good replacement for caffeine?
The history of mushrooms and the current craze
Mushrooms, like pretty much every other "recent" health discovery and craze, have been around thousands of years. In fact, one of the oldest human mummies in existence (over 4,000 years old) was found with a commonly used medicinal mushroom in his pouch. Commonly used in ancient China, and even Rome, mushrooms have been known to provide energy, cure disease, strengthen the mind, and much more. So, it stand to reason that in the super health conscious age, one of the most versatile and effects natural medicines and supplements would be having its heyday.
The most common types of supplement mushrooms
Nearly every "unique" mushroom mix we see has the same few ingredients so, luckily, you'll be able to divine what each is designed to do without memorizing an entire mushroom book. Before we get there though, let's talk about what to look for when choosing a mushroom based supplement. If they all have the same ingredients, how do you make the choice?
Mycelium vs. Fruiting Bodies: In an over simplification, a mushroom has two parts, the Mycelium and the Fruiting Body. The Mycelium can be though of as the roots and the fruiting body as the part which protrudes out of the ground/tree/etc. The problem is, the two parts have wildly different concentrations of the effective compounds. The fruiting body is the "good part" of the mushroom and therefore ends up being the most expensive. Many companies simply use a large portion of the Mycelium in the mushroom products meaning you get very few of the actual benefits. It typically will say on the bottle which part of the mushroom the extract came from and, if it says nothing, you be pretty sure that it did not come from the fruiting bodies.
Standardized Extract: It should come as not surprise that individual mushrooms can vary widely in potency. Where they're grown, what they're grown on, how much sun they receive, etc. can all effect the amount of the effectious chemicals they contain. A quality supplement therefore will not just be some ground up mushrooms. They will have extracted the effective parts which will be included in a standard, consistent dose.
Origin: It is important to us to know where our food is coming from. Were the mushrooms used grown in a green house in the USA? Are they wild gathered mushrooms from China? Their origin can affect their purity and potency and the company should be open about their source. If they are not, we typically assume they don't have a consistent source and simply buy what is the cheapest and most convenient on the market (which can lead to quality control issues).
Is it Vegan? Organic? If this is a point of importance to you, be sure to check. We typically gravitate towards organic and vegan extracts simply because it shows that they producers have been more strict and thoughtful in production.
3rd Party Tested: Whether you're shopping for mushroom supplements or another type, be sure to always look for a 3rd party test. 3rd party testing no only ensures the supplements contains what it is supposed to, but can check for other things ranging from heavy metals to mold spores.
If you've got those 6 things down, let move on to the 4 most common mushrooms you'll see in supplements. While everyone has a slightly different twist on what they say things do, these can supposedly be everything from nootropic to immune boosting.

OUr Experience
When a product first starts becoming popular we are always nervous to buy an untried version. When companies smell money they often rush shoddy and possibly dangerous products to the market to capitilize before the it is too saturated. Such seems to be the case with mushroom products right now and there are literally a million products to choose from. It took us over an hour to find one that we were comfortable ordering and had an ingredient profile we liked.
Our Impressions
Our mushrooms came to us in a resealable plastic bag which, while not likely to impress, certainly does get the job done. Kirstie was a bit too nervous to smell it when I opened the bag but she didn't need to worry. It does have a slightly salty/earthy type of smell but nothing extreme.
I tasted a little bit on my finger and got a very mild salty type flavor. Not something I'd want to eat with a spoon but I was still on board....
The next morning we made a cup of our favorite caffeine free coffee replacement (Teeccino Vanilla Nut Chicory) and a bowl of oatmeal. No, I am not one of the deviants who finds oatmeal delicious.... but I didn't feel like sprinkling mushroom powder over my eggs.
In "Coffee": Maju's Mushrooms didn't seem to add much of anything in terms of flavor. If I was forced to come with something I might say that it made it slightly earthier...but most people probably wouldn't notice. Kirstie definitive did notice but actually liked the flavor. Some people mentioned that their extract didn't mix easily but our was just fine. It did have a tiny amount of graininess that we didn't even feel after adding a bit of almond milk. We did, however, have to give the last drink a little swirl to make sure we got everything out of the bottom of the cup. We didn't try it in anything cold though so I'm not sure how well it would mix into your ice water...
In Oatmeal: I prepared my oatmeal as I normally do (with a big of peanut butter and raw honey) and could not detect the mushrooms at all...and I wasn't sad about it.
But how was it as a caffeine replacement?
In a word, GREAT! We didn't expect to feel any rush of energy from the mushrooms since they aren't stimulating, but we got something much better. Mental clarity and focus throughout the day was awesome and I did not feel any sort of crash or exhaustion creeping up as I normally do. I was still feeling focused and ready for action when I headed to the gym in the evening. Whether you are currently using caffeine or having recently detoxed we would highly reccomend these mushrooms as a daily pick me up/replacement.
Do note that we (Kirstie and I) are both off of caffeine for a couple of months so I can't comment to how Maju's would be in conjunction with caffeine or actual coffee.
So in conclusion, Yes! mushroom can (and probably should) replace your daily coffee. Clean energy and focus as well as a host of other health benefits should be enough to convince anyone to give out little fungal friends a try!

Compromised User ExperienceTraditional network management is focused on network connection status and faults, but is unable to detect user experience in real time. User experience is increasingly valued by enterprises to boost customer satisfaction and loyalty.
Low Operating EfficiencyMore than 63 percent of networks are still managed manually, and the response to frequent network policy changes is inefficient. End-to-end automation would vastly improve network operating efficiency for enterprises.
Low Level of Network DigitalizationEnterprise digitalization is rapidly gaining momentum, but the network that serves as enterprise ICT infrastructure cannot keep up. Enterprises are looking for greater network digitalization to meet their growing service needs.
Frequent Data Security BreachesIn the digital era, new technologies bring enormous benefits, but also increased data security risks. Now more than ever, enterprises need comprehensive network protection to safeguard their data.
Huawei understands these pain points and believes that, in the future, enterprises will need self-healing networks with "autonomous driving" capabilities. However, the transition from an SDN network to an "autonomous driving" network is a long journey. The biggest problem facing enterprises lies in the huge gap between what businesses need and what networks can offer.
Huawei's Intent-Driven Network (IDN) is an ideal choice for addressing this problem because it can digitalize enterprise networks, enable service policies to drive network policies, streamline network and service collaboration, and ultimately enable business success.
By 2025, there are expected to be 2.8 billion[1] 5G users and 100 billion[2] IoT connections worldwide, with 80 billion[3] devices connecting via Wi-Fi 6. Enterprises of all sizes must therefore ensure ubiquitous connectivity for large numbers of devices and capitalize on both AI and cloud to greatly improve operational efficiency. By 2025, 97% of enterprises will also adopt AI[4]. In the digital age, data security is crucial to enterprises and even key to their survival. As such, enterprises are looking for all-inclusive network protection to ensure data security. As digital transformation accelerates across many industries, digitalization of the network itself, which is the foundation of enterprise ICT, is not proceeding as expected.
Huawei's Intent-Driven Network (IDN) leverages a simplified, ultra-broadband network infrastructure to achieve not only wider access but also simpler management. A digital twin is used to build a digital world, enabling technologies such as AI and big data to be applied in the network field, realizing "autonomous driving" networks.
In 2019, Huawei clearly outlined intelligent IP networks, defining three core capabilities: intelligent connectivity, intelligent Operations and Maintenance (O&M), and intelligent learning. Huawei also released an innovative three-layer AI architecture for intelligent IP networks: an AI-powered device layer, an AI-powered network layer, and an AI-powered cloud.
The AI-powered device layer builds on Huawei's AI Turbo series of network devices embedded with AI chips, including AirEngine Wi-Fi 6, CloudEngine switches, NetEngine routers, and HiSecEngine security gateways. The AI-powered network layer is realized through iMaster NCE (Huawei's autonomous driving network management and control system). The AI-powered cloud comes with iMaster NAIE (the industry's first network AI center). The three-layer AI architecture delivers new levels of intelligence in IP networks and leads the new era of intelligent IP networks.
Huawei IDN provides enterprises with solutions tailored specifically to scenarios such as campus, data center, WAN, and network security, helping them move toward a fully connected, intelligent world.

Getting You Our Best Home Insurance Quotes
One Call Insurance acts as a comparison site at new business and will compare prices from our own panel of insurers which offers a fair analysis of the market, and that of Quotezone.co.uk. If we can't provide you with the best quotation then we will show you the best available elsewhere!
If you choose an alternative to One Call then you will be transferred away from our website. We offer a non-advised service to our consumers which just means we cannot provide a recommendation, however we will provide you with enough information to be able to make an informed decision
If faced with a hefty bill for damage to your house and contents resulting from a flood, fire or collapse; what would you do? In reality many of us simply wouldn't stand a chance of scraping together the cash to pay for it. That's why home insurance exists.
However, with three types of cover, 100s of options and even more insurers and brokers to choose from, finding the right level of cover at the right price can be both tricky and time-consuming. At One Call Insurance we do the leg work for you by gathering your requirements and subsequently comparing a list of leading home insurers on price and cover; ultimately we make it our mission to get you the right cover, for our best price.
The three most common types of home insurance are:
- Buildings insurance - Buildings insurance provides cover for the costs involved in repairing damage to the structure of your house and a complete rebuild if a repair isn't possible. It often also provides cover for the costs incurred in repairing or replacing sheds, fences, pipes, cables and drains.
- Contents insurance - Contents insurance provides cover for your furniture, electrical appliances, jewellery, clothes and more. Essentially, anything you'd take with you if you were to move house.
- Combined buildings and contents insurance - Combined buildings and contents insurance provides cover for all of the above. It is the highest level of home insurance cover you can buy.
Other more specialist forms of home insurance are available too; these include landlords insurance and holiday home insurance.
Home insurance policy features
When you compare and buy home insurance via One Call Insurance, you'll get the following benefits as standard:
Free Home Emergency Cover
Regardless of the insurer you choose, Home Emergency Cover is provided as standard when you compare and buy home insurance via One Call Insurance. It provides 24/7 cover for things like plumbing, drainage and security issues.
Free Family Legal Advice
Family Legal Advice is included as standard on home insurance policies that are bought via One Call Insurance. It specifically provides cover for the cost of legal advice on what you can recover in the event of an accident at home, in a public place or at work, referral to a solicitor who can act on your behalf and access to a 24 hour helpline.
24 Hour Claims Service
Disasters can strike at any time of day or night and that's why we operate a friendly UK based 24 hour claims service. Enabling you to notify us as and when a disaster first occurs, it enables us to provide immediate support if needed and get your claim processed and paid-out quicker.
Further information...
There are 16 scenarios for which most home insurance policies provide cover, these are:
• Smoke.
• Theft.
• Vandalism.
• Windstorms and hail.
• Damage caused by vehicles.
• Weight of ice, snow and sleet.
• Freezing of household systems.
• Riots.
• Explosions.
• Falling objects.
• Damage from artificially generated electrical current.
• Sudden tearing, cracking or bulging of home.
Home Emergency Cover
Regardless of the insurer you choose, Home Emergency Cover is provided as standard when you compare and buy home insurance via One Call Insurance. It provides 24/7 cover for things like:
- Plumbing – i.e. burst or blocked pipes.
- Drainage – i.e. blocked drains.
- Security issues – i.e. damaged locks, doors, bricks and broken windows.
- Removal of wasp's or hornet's nests.
However, the following terms will apply:
- £25 excess – An excess of £25 is payable if you need to make a claim.
- £250 emergency limit – There is a Home Emergency Cover claim limit of £250.
- 3 claims per year – You can make three separate claims per calendar year.
Family Legal Advice
Family Legal Advice is also included on all home insurance policies when you compare and buy via One Call Direct; it specifically provides cover for:
- Advice on what you can recover in the event of an accident at home, in a public place or at work (this includes advice for family members living at your home at the time of an incident).
- Referral to a specialist solicitor who can act on your behalf to recover damages for your injuries, loss of earnings and damage to personal possessions.
- 24 hour helpline.
All home insurance policies have exclusions and although they will differ from one insurer to the next, the most common are:
- Running a business from home - Insurers don't typically provide cover for business use as standard. However, provided the business activity is of a clerical nature; most insurers will offer to add it to your policy at no cost. For other types of business activity you may be referred to a specialist business insurance team, quoted a higher price with cover or declined cover.
- Subletting your home - Insurers won't automatically cover you for subletting. Some may be willing to add the clause to your policy, but you should check before you buy home insurance.
- Acts of god - Most insurers add an 'Acts of God' clause to their policy terms. Intended to limit their liability for large-scale disasters that can't reasonably be predicted, it essentially allows them to refuse a claim for loss or damage caused by war, terrorism or an unprecedented natural disaster to name just a few potential scenarios. Each insurer is likely to have its own definition for the 'Acts of God' clause so it's worth checking the small print before you get home insurance.
If you need to make a claim, or become aware of an incident that may lead to a claim, please contact our 24 hours claim line on: 0203 738 7300
All claims must be reported within 24 hours
There may also be an excess to pay. For most insurers the following applies:
- Compulsory excess - Compulsory excesses apply to all home insurance policies; they usually range from £50 to £150.
- Voluntary excess - Most insurers allow you to add a voluntary excess in return for a reduced insurance premium, in most cases the maximum is £1,000.
- Escape of water - Escape of water claims usually trigger their own excess, which can be higher than the compulsory excess.
- Subsidence - Subsidence claims almost always trigger an excess of £1,000.
If you have a mortgage - All mortgage providers require you to have a valid home insurance policy for the duration of your mortgage and the minimum level of cover must be sufficient to cover the outstanding balance.
If you own your property outright - As a homeowner you aren't legally or otherwise obliged to have home insurance, but if you don't and your home is damaged or destroyed, you will be personally liable for the cost of repairs.
If you are a tenant - Home insurance isn't usually the responsibility of a tenant; that rests with the landlord or property owner. However, you may wish to take out a contents insurance policy in order to ensure items such as furniture, electrical appliances, clothes and personal belongings are covered against damage or theft.
Your home insurance premium is calculated based on an assessment of the risks posed by you and your property. For example:
A low risk might look like this…
- Your house is an area that has a below average crime rate and isn't deemed to be at risk of flooding.
- You have a professionally fitted and maintained security system and are a member of the local Neighbourhood Watch scheme.
- You have no claims or criminal convictions.
…and a high risk might look like this:
- Your house is of non-standard construction, sits on a riverbank and is deemed to be at high-risk of flooding.
- You don't have a security system or approved security locks.
- You have made three claims within the previous three years.
However, there are an infinite number of insurance rating factors which means the only way to get an accurate indication of how much your home insurance will cost is to run through a quote.
We all want cheap home insurance, but few of us want to scrimp on cover. Here's five ways in which you can achieve both:
- Check you have the right cover - People often confuse the cost to rebuild with the market value of their home and in doing so could be paying over the top for their home insurance. If you don't know your rebuild cost; this handy guide and online calculator will be a life saver.
- Compare home insurance from different providers - As with any product or service; the quickest and easiest way to save money on your home insurance is to compare prices from a panel of insurers. However, when looking at the price difference between home insurers, you should also take into account the amount of cover they offer and any extras perks or incentives that may be included.
- Increase your voluntary excess to reduce your premium - Increasing your voluntary excess is a really quick and easy way to reduce the cost of your home insurance premium. However, you should consider the fact that if you need to make a claim; you will not only have to pay the voluntary excess, but also any compulsory excess that might apply.
- Install a security system in order to lower your perceived risk - Some insurers will effectively give you a home insurance discount if you have a security system professionally fitted and maintained.
- Earn No Claims Discount (NCD) - As with car insurance, you can build up an amount of NCD for every year that you hold a valid home insurance policy and it could equate to a reduction in price of up to 70% (depending on the insurer and the amount of NCD you have accrued).
Getting a quote for home insurance doesn't have to be time-consuming. You can speed things up greatly by ensuring you have the following information to hand:
- Home address - Your full home address, property type, size and how many internal rooms you have i.e. 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 reception room, 1 kitchen.
- Build date - The date upon which your property was constructed. If you had a survey completed when you bought or mortgage your house; you should be able to take the date from this.
- Rebuild cost - The estimated cost to rebuild your house in its current form.
- Date of purchase - The date upon which you purchased your property.
- Locks and alarms - Details of the type of locks you have fitted to all exterior doors and windows.
- Roof type - The material used in the construction of your roof i.e. slate, tile, clay, thatched or other.
- Contents and personal belongings - The collective value of all your contents and personal belongings i.e. furniture, electrical appliances and clothes. This usually only applies if you want a quote for contents insurance.
- List of high value items - Details relating to any items you would like to insure that are classed as 'high value'. The threshold for high value items varies by insurer, but is often in the region of £1,000 - £1,500; any items that have a higher value must be individually listed. As with contents and personal belongings, this is only likely to apply if you're obtaining a quote for just contents insurance or home and contents insurance.
- Previous claims - Details, dates and the values of any home insurance claims that you have made within the last five years. This includes instances where an incident was discussed with an insurer, but no claim or pay out were made.

By Anupam Singh
Hope you are okay, healthy & kicking!
The Food Security Bill has been passed in Lok Sabha, but should I congratulate you?
No! I would rather congratulate Her Highness the visionary Sonia Gandhi for her Vote Security Bill. You know it better than anyone that its the worst time to undertake such a bill but you are helpless seeing the interest Her Highness has shown in it. Passing the Food Security Bill is good politics, passing it not is good economics. And we all know who wins the unfortunate battle of Politics Vs Economics, that too when the elections are lurking round the corner.
Sir, people have known me on social networking sites as one of your most vocal adversaries. I have hammered & bludgeoned you through my writings in letter & words for most of your tenure as the PM of India. But today, am in a different mood. I'm writing this letter to exhibit a different sort of emotion. Today, I sympathise with you & understand the predicament you must be going through. I know that when the world sleeps you remain awake to self-pity & imprisonment. Every morning while having the morning tea you helplessly ponder over India's deteriorating economy. You represent a 100 million people but deep inside you are a loner. I know you might feel embarrassed reading this letter, thinking how could a young little chap decipher your state of mind so well.
Mr Prime Minister, I'm writing this letter to you based on some of my recent observations. In the Lok Sabha, Her Highness had to take the mantle into her own hands. She had to personally lead this initiative to get the bill passed because you, Mr Manmohan Singh, as a learned economist must not have been in its favour at this point of time. I know that you clearly understand the bearing such an act would take on the economy. Unfortunately for us, the highest moral ground you could take was to simply NOT BE IN FAVOUR because you don't have the guts to steer the government policy as per your discretion.
Today, the nation is in a fix. Investors, who once entered into the Indian market thanking your liberalisation policies of 90s, are fleeing our market. The Rupee has stooped so low that its shamelessly in position 69 with the dollar on the higher side. An economy which boasted of high Forex reserves, healthy account deficit, growth & robustness not very long ago is caught in a quagmire. You know the state of economy far better than me but you can't disagree my saying that the situation in India is of a crisis, an economic emergency.
Fortunately, the best person to sail us through these turbulent times is in the chair of the Prime Minister. You have done it earlier & most of us Indians are a fan of how you helped recover the economy in the 90s. I personally liked the manner you got the Indo-US nuclear deal done, infact that was the only time in your tenure that you looked in control of the proceedings.
Whatever the upcoming 2014 election results, there is no way you would be the next PM. And I must remind you that you'll go down in history as one of the worst Prime Ministers ever. Leave aside opposition or the media, your own party will discredit you, disown you once your term is over & every congressman will label all that was wrong with UPA rule as the PM's personal failure. This is what happened to Narasimha Rao & this is what will happen to you. History will repeat itself. I know you are not that bad a PM as the history books will project you, but you have neither acted with the dignity & style that a prime minister of the world's largest democracy should have.
This economic scenario might be a threat for India, but I see an opportunity in it for you. An opportunity to salvage what you've lost. An opportunity to establish that the countrymen's belief in you was not unfounded. Sir, doesn't your heart bleed to see people's loss of hope in you!
In a crisis like this, any country would have died for an economist to be at the helm of affairs. And no Indian has a better CV than you have as an economist. This is the last ditch moment to rise above your helplessness & break the shackles that tie you. This crisis can be a saving grace & blessing in disguise to help you unburden. The Food Security Bill is through in the Lok Sabha & it might very well help the congress garner some votes but will surely take away the last bit of respect people have in you. If you show the courage to stand & speak, the country, opposition, the media will speak with you in the same tone. No Sonia or No ruling party can overrule what the PM wants & stands for.
I really wish that the Prime Minister of my country gets a dignified exit with his head held high. And if you don't I'll continue bludgeoning you as my daily routine, you being my favourite object of ridicule!
You know, every Indian except the concerned person in power has a solution to any damn serious national problem. Giving unsolicited advice is our favourite pastime & I'm no less! So, Dr. Saab, I would conclude my emotional outbursts by advising you on how to resolve this economic crisis.
You have only two options Mr Economist..
1st) Stand up for what you believe in. Take your cabinet in confidence. Talk to Her Highness. Take the bull by the horn. Stall the Food Security Bill. Follow the principles of good economics, leave the rules of good politics aside. The power is with you. You are still our Prime Minister & the most able man to ride this crisis.
2nd) As your Commerce Minister has already suggested we might have to pledge Gold to save our economy as we did in 1991. My suggestion is why put the country's Gold on collateral when we have so many highly qualified Gold Medallist economists in the government. Please collect your medals & we shall have enough Gold to sail us through. Furthermore, none of us would then say that your Gold medals are of no use.
So Mr Economist, take a stand or sell your Gold medals..!!
Your's critically,
Anupam Singh

30 May PRESS RELEASE: Atomo Diagnostics' HIV Self Test receives approval from Kenya Ministry of Health
Sydney, Australia, May 30, 2017| Multi-award winning medical device innovator Atomo Diagnostics today announced its pioneering HIV self test product has been approved for sale in Kenya.
Following successful product evaluations and in-field studies conducted in Kenya by investigators from the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI), Nairobi, Atomo HIV Self Test has received certification of registration from the Kenya Ministry of Health, Pharmacy and Poisons Board (PPB).
In-field evaluations focussed on test performance and product ease-of-use for self-testers. In the hands of untrained lay users the Atomo HIV Self Test was able to detect 100% of HIV infections in two separate studies. KEMRI has since recommended that the product be introduced to the Kenyan market to enable the national HIV testing program to benefit from its superior usability and in-field performance.
The Founder and Group CEO of Atomo Diagnostics, John Kelly, said, "We are extremely pleased that our Atomo HIV Self Test has been approved in Kenya. We passionately believe that self-testing has an important role to play in tackling HIV worldwide. In the independent studies carried out in Kenya with self test users, Atomo HIV Self Test successfully detected all the HIV positive samples. We believe that makes it the best performing HIV self test in the world."
Kenya is at the forefront of HIV self-testing in Africa and formally launched its HIV self-testing campaigns this month. There are in the region of 1.5 million people living with HIV in Kenya, with an estimated 400,000 being unaware that they have the virus. There is high prevalence of new infections, particularly amongst young people and key populations.
Further, it is believed that 8 million adults in Kenya have not been tested for HIV, with most seeking healthcare services in the private sector where HIV testing is not routine. They are a key focus for Kenya's HIV self-testing initiatives.
Improving HIV testing rates among high risks groups is central to controlling the spread of HIV infection, and early diagnosis enables faster access to life-saving treatments. HIV self-testing is not only a means of increasing testing and detection rates, but also a tool for empowering individuals who test negative to take control of their sexual health to help them remain HIV negative.
The Atomo HIV Self Test is a single-use, third-generation, rapid in-vitro diagnostic test (RDT) for the detection of antibodies to both Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 (HIV-1) and Type 2 (HIV-2) in whole blood. The all-in-one test has been designed for convenience, with a built-in safety lancet and a unique blood collection and delivery system that make it easy to use and help to eliminate errors common with traditional multi-component RDT kits. The Atomo HIV Self Test requires only a small drop of blood (10uL) from the fingertip and gives the result in just 15 minutes.
About Atomo Diagnostics
Atomo Diagnostics is a medical device design and manufacturing company, based in Sydney, Australia, with corporate offices in the UK and South Africa.

"Look out, everybody, things are about to get awesome!"
This article is a stub. You can help Borderlands Wiki by expanding it.
No Such Thing as a Free Launch is an optional mission in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel given by Cosmo Wishbone. It becomes available after Intelligences of the Artificial Persuasion is complete.
- Help Cosmo launch his satellite.
- Find flow regulator
- Remove flow regulator
- Find Tony Slows
- Pay for Tony Slows' tour
- Take Tony Slows' tour
- Pick up flight data recorder
- Find gyroscope
- Remove gyroscope
- Take parts to Cosmo
- Kill energized shugguraths
- Return to control room
CleanupTo meet Borderlands quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. Please help by improving, spell-checking and/or trimming the article.
This mission is available from Cosmo Wishbone at the very top of the Grabba, the darksiders base in central Triton Flats. He will require 3 items to complete Excelsior, the rocket he will use to send a satellite to orbit that will play music of his own composition.
The first item, a flow regulator, is located on a large hydraulic pump at the far western side of the Pumping Station in southwest Outlands Spur. Once the flow regulator is removed, the pump will surpass it's limits, fail and fall off the side of the platform.
The second item is the flight data recorded from the Drakensburn, which is part of a collection of space ship parts owned by Tony Slows. Tony's museum is located at the very beginning of Outlands Spur, just opposite the Fast Travel station. A fee of $10 must be placed in a money box to take a tour of the exhibits. The flight data recorder is inside the curtained-off building that Tony will make his way towards after describing a couple of other relics. The recorder must be stolen, which infuriates Tony, but he will not attack.
The final item is a gyroscope located inside Banjo Point, back in southeast Triton Flats. In the building to the left of the entrance, a console must be activated to open the enclosure revealing the gyroscope, which can then be taken. Once all these items are in hand they must be taken back to Cosmo.
When the parts are given to Cosmo to complete his rocket, he will ask that the nearby shugguraths be killed to clear the launching area. When this task is done, the rocket will launch and the satellite will begin playing his original composition. After a few measures of Cosmo's music, DJs Boom and Rang will pirate his transmission, causing him to attempt to increase the signal strength and electrocute himself. The mission may then be turned in to the ash pile that was Cosmo.
- "Pick over Cosmo's charred corpse for your reward."
Turn In: Cosmo Wishbone
Mission Transcript
- Main article: No Such Thing as a Free Launch/Transcript
- Text on the mission items is says:
- Flow Regulator: It regulates the flow. Obviously.
- Flight Data Recorder: A record of when things go horribly, horribly wrong.
- Gyroscope: Much like a folded up napkin, it's useful for keeping things level.

Oh Matt Le Blanc, what were you thinking?
While being interviewed on the Emmy red carpet last night before the awards took place, the former Friends star had a short convo with fellow interviewee Emilia Clarke (who plays Daenerys in Game Of Thrones).
When his interviewer asks Le Blanc if he's a fan of the fantasy series in which Clarke stars, he said he really needs to catch up on Game Of Thrones to see the actress' naked scenes.
Which, we have to admit, is a very Joey thing to say.

Between the compact mass of protesters, a minor disturbance starts; a small group of people moving in the crowd until they form a circle. Slowly, as soldiers thoroughly prepare their weapons, violins, flutes and other instruments appear from their bags and they start doing musical chores. The crowd falls silent and listen. Touched. Solfónica is playing. If you've been lucky enough to witness this scene it is not necessary to explain who they are. Solfónica will probably be there at a moment in your life that you'll never forget.
Solfónica emerged during the magical moment of "Camping Sun" (or "The Sun campground, which takes the name of the Plaza del Sol,Madrid,Spain ). "Camping Sun" was the spontaneous occupation of the square by citizens as a social protest against the Spanish crisis. As part of the thousands of citizens who went out on the streets, they started using the skills they have. In this case, it's music. They did it so well that they became one of the most powerful 15M movement symbols. They became an imperative icon in all the special moments; from manifestations to the opening of free spaces.
Music and culture are tools to liberate human beings. With their music, they are able to transmit deep messages, move our longings and make us all feel a sensation of belonging to the collective. Always through music. They yell "these are our weapons" whilst raising their violins, flutes and voices to the wind; and teach us new ways to fight against the power.

How To Save When You Rework A Kitchen
If you are occupied with a kitchen remodel or pondering new kitchen design concepts , then you definitely're probably preparing yourself for a way expensive it may be. Even a minor kitchen renovation can average around $18,000. In my expertise with a whole lot of IKEA kitchen projects, owners can have unrealistic expectation of labor prices since the prices of materials, that's to say cupboards and sinks and tile and so forth could be confirmed pretty simply, but estimates from contractors are trickier to get, and to consider.
Installing a brand new sink and tap is among the most practical updates you can do in your kitchen. A mid-vary rework may be just the mission to deliver your kitchen into the twenty first century. At the other finish of the spectrum, customized cabinets are nice for distinctive areas, and can provide your kitchen a high-end look.
The typical price of a kitchen transform in Stamford is approximately $13,800 to $37,400. Then you'll be able to take a better look at the details that may have an effect on your total value. Unsure about using dwelling advisor since they only listed 1 contractor in my area.
After designing and ordering our IKEA kitchen, almost one hundred seventy containers were delivered that we assembled to create our new kitchen. Its important to have an extra 5-eight{0c91aee92a081b417287b9b29dd3591d68406beb5a9571983cb5665a3ea7a6f3} of the entire projected price stashed away to cowl these sudden prices when the time comes.
Keep in mind that most design construct corporations quoting costs for a rework do not embrace appliances and plumbing fixtures of their estimate. Here is a listing of projects included in each remodel mission and what you may expect to pay and the ROI for the entire challenge.

Sound Off for April 21
I was just reading the Charlotte Hungerford Hospital Spring 2013 Health Matters news letter that came in the mail today. The newsletter has has wonderful colored pictures and reports. In the back of this newsletter there is a list of donations. I wish I saw the salaries of management printed What I can not understand is why the hospital would print and send by mail such a costly report. We are in a health care crisis in this country and valuable monies are being spent on wasteful newsletters that does nothing for health. Charlotte Hungerford Hospital is a for profit organization that has no local competitor. This very expensive public campaign is wasteful and unnecessary.
Clearly the Obama administration was well aware of the terrorist threat posed by the Tsarnaev brothers after being warned about them by a foreign government yet chose to ignore the obvious. Media reports indicate that the threat was so real and present that the FBI interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev two years ago yet did nothing about the danger in spite of links on his Face book to extreme International terrorist organizations and horrific videos of terrorist violence. Because these very dangerous brothers didn't fit the Obama narrative of terrorism no longer existing, savvy Americans now understand why the government failed to put them on the terrorist watch list with the end result being the deaths of three innocent victims and maiming of hundreds more. Others feel that Obama has been too busy plotting the confiscation of guns from honest law abiding Americans. Either way this represents a monumental national security failure of the Obama administration and brings new life to those who favor tight border control, selective immigration and the Second Amendment.
Re: The Sandy Hook Parents,
I haven't seen any Sandy Hook parents present themselves as gun control experts.
What I have seen is ordinary American citizens who have experienced an unbelieveable loss from a horrific event that many would like to believe could have been prevented if a better system of monitoring and control were in place.
With that belief, the Sandy Hook parents have taken to the media to tell the country what they think and feel.
Same as any parent would do in that terrible circumstance .
You need to give them a little slack there, they earned it.
Obama needs to use executive powers to ban all guns NOW!
Re: We Citizens
You bring up a good point, how citizens of the United States are penalized for being law abiding citizens and yet millions of illegal immigrants have more rights than a U.S. citizen. Something wrong with this picture? You know if you answered this question truthfully you already know the answer. Citizens of the United States slowly, progressively, incrementally get their freedoms and rights stripped from them and they sit back with a disgraceful apathy.
The gun issue is simple. Our Founding Fathers just got done fighting a war to liberate us from the tyranny in England. Fortunately they possessed enough foreknowledge to place the 2nd amendment in the Constitution, knowing they needed to allow this same opportunity for future citizens to protect themselves from an overpowerful tyrannical government.
There will be a day upon us when the people would have wished otherwise and will experience such travesty that people will say--"'they will say to the mountains, "Fall on us!" and to the hills, "Cover us!"

I've always found it irritating how our high school English curriculum is mired in an ancient funk. Kids spend an inordinate amount of time studying Shakespeare and other truly dead authors. Yes, they penned some masterpieces, but surely there are other authors just a little more contemporary, like maybe a few hundred years, that we should be exposing students to? Pick any author on the Giller Prize short list. How about combining literature and history? Joseph Boyden anyone? If dead authors must be studies, then I suggest Arthur Rimbaud be included. Let's educate a generation of leaders and original thinkers. How are you going to get a progressive society without encouraging a little rebelliousness? Here's an excerpt from Rimbaud's "A Season in Hell". Imagine tying this passage into a study of contemporary civic politics, Rob Ford perhaps??!!
Pagan blood returns! The Spirit is at hand, why does Christ not come to my aid and give nobility and freedom to my soul. Alas! the Gospel belongs to the past! the Gospel! the Gospel.
I am starving for God. I have belonged to an inferior race since time began.
And now, here I am on the shores of Brittany. Let the cities light up in the evening. My day is done; I am leaving Europe. Sea air will scorch my lungs; remote climates will tan my skin. To swim, to tramp down grass, to hunt, and above all to smoke; to drink liquor as strong as molten metal – as my beloved ancestors did around their fires.
I shall return, with limbs of iron, a dark skin, and angry eyes; from my mask, people will think I belong to a strong race. I shall have gold: I shall be idle and brutal. Women nurse such ferocious invalids on their return from the tropics. I shall be involved in politics. Saved.
But for now I am damned, I loathe my native land. I'd best fall into an utterly drunken sleep, by the sea-shore.

FEAR: The Entrepreneur's Best Friend That Will Show You The Path To Win
Entrepreneurship is a field that provides the philosophy that FEAR is a great sign when starting a business. Fear can act as your enemy, by blocking your actions or act as your friend, by pointing to you which part of your entrepreneur adventure you should give more attention.
The entrepreneur should see fear as a GOOD thing when feeling it at their journey. Why? Because it's the only thing that naturally points your own flaws, imperfections and where you should improve yourself. That is why it's good to keep fear around as a RADAR to know what can be going wrong (or could) on your business.
I will show you how to use fear to improve your business my friend.
CLICK and see how fear can be the best friend of the entrepreneur without him realize.
When you are at your journey as an entrepreneur, the very first thing that you should do is find what can be blocking you, which can be denouncing you the "holes" of your business strategy.
Are you afraid of running out of working capital to continue to run your business?
Maybe that it's a sign that you should recheck your costs and your business budget.
Are you afraid that the market doesn't have a good acceptance for your product?
Maybe that it's a sign that you should study your audience a little bit more.
Are you afraid of selling something very expensive that nobody wants to buy?
Then your product may not have all this great quality.
After all, high-quality products automatically worth buying (like iPhones for example)
Discover your fears. This is the first step to start a solid business.
Some new fear appeared? Great. Take this fear and break it. Understand what it has to say to you. After this, you should EXPLORE your fear in order to be able to understand what it truly means and what it can be related to.
Related fears are sometimes very important for you analysis. For example, the fear of running out of capital can indicate that you need to check if your business plan was properly budgeted.
But at the same time it can also mean that you are without financial support, which means that you may not have a bank or something else to help you on difficult times. It all depends how deep you investigate and how deep your analysis goes.
Your fear is your best friend, treat it like a warning signal. A warning that will show you how to successfully engage in entrepreneurship and feel completely safe.
Action kills fear. Once you found something that made you insecure and uncertain, TAKING ACTION is the next step to overcome those flaws and action will TEACH your brain what you should do whenever you are facing that kind of fear.
And what is the result of this?
Your fear goes away. And also, you learn what to do to feel more secure.
Excessive ACTION will show you that your fear is actually ridiculous, and the best medicine for it is taking action.
All is on the mind when we talk about fear of entrepreneurship, after all it's not every entrepreneur that has the "mental rule" of seeing fear as a friend. Very few are the ones that follow this philosophy.
The result?
They are blocked every time that some new opportunity show up, because they didn't learn to listen to themselves. An entrepreneur should use fear as a source of learning, use fear as a kind of radar and understand that it's there that he should improve and focus a little more time.
Excessive action KILLS fear through reason.
The reason of why that fear exists disappears instantly when you tak action.
And this is a rule in entrepreneurship.
After a while, every time a fear show up the AUTOMATIC answer from your brain will be: TAKE ACTION! Once you hit that mental state, you can say that you are a successful entrepreneur. The rest is simply just being persistent and analyze what you need to do in order to evolve your business.
Entrepreneurship was never easy and very few people give up their personal time with their family for a while, weekends, steady job and other things to live their entrepreneur side.
Living as an entrepreneur is a dream and it's one of the most common desire of adventurous people in the world. But dreams don't come true by themselves, you need to spend time and energy pursuing the right things and keep at the right path in order to achieve the entrepreneur lifestyle.
Without fears and mind blocks, you can go at full speed, making the probability of success way higher than usual. And that applies to every part of your life as well, like relationships, work etc.
Make the fear your best friend, and you will understand how powerful you can become.
And remember: limitation happens only in your mind, everything is possible!

Dr. Clotile Lejeune, a wounded but resourceful expert on ancient languages in Seattle, has her quiet world shaken when she learns that her father, from whom she has been estranged for 25 years, has been murdered in her Louisiana hometown, leaving her a 2000 year old oil jar inscribed with the name Judas Iscariot. With her soldier son, JE, Cloe goes back in time and place, seeking to unlock the mysteries of the jar, find her father's killer and to dispel her own personal demons.
With the help of a mysterious cleric seemingly sent from the Vatican, she recovers from the jar the earliest version of the Gospel of Judas Iscariot. But this is only the beginning. What remains for them to find could set the world's religions ablaze.
Across the globe, a billionaire arms merchant knows this-and that is exactly his goal. He leaves a trail of bodies in his wake in his pursuit of the jar and its contents with Cloe, JE and their helpers squarely in his crosshairs. From Baton Rouge to Jerusalem, the race for answers is on. Who exactly was Judas Iscariot? Did he betray Christ? What is the past reaching out to tell Cloe

Rather than totally criticizing USC for the recent infractions, I strongly believe the Trojan athletic department should have been given high marks for taking forceful and decisive, although I'm sure painful, action in the Russ Purnell case to preserve the integrity of the university.
I believe it is naive for anyone to think that any university, or corporation for that matter, has total control of the daily activities of all its employees. If that were the case, no one would ever get fired.

In her book about human-animal relations, Made for Each Other [1], Meg Daley Olmert tells the story of C.J. Buffalo Jones, a 19th Century frontiersman who, in her words, "witnessed one of the last demonstrations of the natural order that shaped the logic of our ancestors" and left record of it. "On a hill in Canada's Northwest Territory," she explains, "he watched herds of caribou congregate until all the eye could see for ten of miles around was a giant mast of animals whose antlers became a mighty forest. For several days this living landscape flowed past him day and night." The number, which Jones estimated at 25 million, absolutely staggers the modern imagination.
Whether or not his approximation was accurate, still the size and force of such an experience seem beyond comprehension. Yet, it's exactly the kind of natural event that inhabited our ancient ancestors' communal consciousness and, not surprisingly, directed their cosmology. As Olmert suggests, it's a major mental stretch for us moderns "to fathom a world in which we were not the top predators." Yet, we evolved not in a state of dominion but coexistence, observance and even reverence for nature's many forces.
What a far cry from our experience today of course. Few if any of us (at least among the Internet connected readership) live at the whim of wilderness anymore. Our society has done a good job at erecting a pretty solid wall between us and these experiences. For better and worse, the power of nature can feel like a remote concept at least in day to day living. Seldom are we humbled by it with the exception of random, localized weather emergencies.
Even if we fit in our "green hours" and get the kids to the local preserves on a regular basis, even if we live in the countryside, even if we're avid outdoors people, as great as these are, there are whole dimensions we miss, I believe. How many of us have ever hiked – and camped- above the tree line? How many have come face to face with an animal predator? How many have taken on a wave or mountainside that could easily undo us? The beauty of nature is one thing. The power of it is another.
Anyone who's ever sat with a dying animal (dying by natural/hunted means), experienced first hand true natural devastation or had a genuinely life-threatening run in with the wildlife knows what I mean here. Experiencing the wild world in all it's glory means encountering its fierceness as much as its grandeur, the danger as much as its sublimity. As reader Kyle Rife put it to me in an email when describing a nasty experience with a hive of yellow jackets he'd had, it was somehow "satisfying," this "encountering nature and losing." I think there's something essential and revealing to that.
While nature was the living, looming backdrop of our ancestors' experience and imagination, for many of us moderns it can seem more like postcard material – remote places we go "visit" that have relatively little meaning to our lives or how we perceive them. When we manage to get out of the city or suburbs or farmland to spend time in the wild, we definitely enjoy ourselves. The day or weekend or week fulfills a primal desire but probably also modern expectations – a story much tamer than frontiersmen, let alone hunter gatherers, would've witnessed. No judgment. That's simply the age we live in.
What happens, however, when we change not only our itinerary but our attitude? It's not about consciously donning a Grok [2] style mindset but more about shedding the modern mental baggage to even give our primal awareness room to breathe. We can head deeper into the woods [3], farther into the state or national park, but it's ultimately about letting go of expectations [4], being in the moment [5] and encountering the particular environment fully on its own terms – as a force as well as a setting.
What's possible when that happens? What opens up? What rises to the surface? How do we come away changed as a result? Do we need the hair-raising peril [6] to get in touch with that humbling energy? I'm guessing it helps but isn't necessary. The days of massive migrations are gone, and seeking out danger is as foolhardy now as it would've been in Grok's day. Perhaps there's something to the authentic fight [7] or flight response [8] though. An encounter with death, after all, can be profoundly life affirming.
Yet, brush with death or major injury aside, I think there's plenty of room for our experiences in nature to change us without threatening life and limb. For me sometimes it's just spending the day in the dustiness and brightness of the SoCal chaparral. In the face of something bigger and harsher, we can come undone – bared down to our essential primal humanity. We can perhaps imagine a kindred hunter gather spirit some 20,000 years earlier gazing with the same open observance. It's enough to take us out of ourselves and put us at the center of life – a force greater than our own, an experience more timeless than our individual existence.
I think that's when we get at the heart of it – when, for so many readers who write me about this – Primal living becomes a way of seeing and experiencing parts of life, particularly the natural world and their part in it. Once you've felt that inherent energy and ancient sense of proportion, you gain a different (some would argue pretty counter cultural) perspective on modern life. You live less sheltered and more grounded for it.
Thanks for reading, everyone. Have a good end to the week. Share your thoughts and comments.

For decades, when couples wanted to go get married they would make a list of a few jewelry stores they wanted to visit, would go to browse a variety of engagement rings, and ultimately pick the jeweler and ring that spoke to them most, that fit within their budget, offered special incentives, or had some type of great life warranty. Don't get me wrong – this is still is a big occurrence of what goes on today. The online world has made it easy for products to be at consumer's fingertips – engagement rings, wedding bands and bridal jewelry included. Not only that but online shopping has opened the door to new brands and products from all over the world that were once not accessible.
While a majority of couples will stick to visiting the "brick and mortar" stores we can't ignore the increase in online engagement ring shopping. (Not too mention if the brick and mortar store you're visiting doesn't have an online presence and store – they might not stay in business for the long run). With that being said, I thought it would be helpful to cover some basic guidelines and tips to help those entering the online engagement ring shopping hunt.
Research. Research. Research.
The internet has made it super easy for us to type in a simple keyword and pull up a plethora of options for us to choose from. When beginning your search, compile a list of online jewelry stores that sell engagement rings, as if you would if you were going to visit a few in person. From there dig in a bit and check out their website, social media pages and even review websites like Yelp. These are great outlets to check and see what consumers have already said about these businesses and whether or not they have positive feedback when it comes to selling engagement rings.
When visiting the individual stores websites – make sure to check out pages like "lifetime warranty", "returns and exchanges", "custom designs", "upgrading", "financing", "authorized retailers". For example, does the online jewelery store offer lifetime warranties such as: Free Rhodium for Life, Complimentary Ring Sizing, Upgrade Incentives, Insurance Appraisals, etc. All of these pages will contain valuable information that you'll want to make note of when it comes to picking the right jeweler for you.
While you're at it. Check out and see if the online jewelry store you're considering offers a live online chat. This is an easy and quick way to have some of your top questions answered from someone directly from the company.
Choose Your Favorite Engagement Ring Style
Just like you've noticed when you're browsing for a pair of shoes or a new little black dress, the online world has an overabundance of items to offer us. Same goes for the online jewelry industry. Yup, that means that the selection of engagement rings out there for you to choose from is probably going to be waaay overwhelming to a bridal jewelry novice. No worries tho – we have a few tips for narrowing the style down you want. Engagement rings are made in different types of settings which range from Solitaire to Halos to Vintage to Split Shanks to Criss-Cross. Lookup a few of these different designs along the way and try and pick your favorite 2 that you know you would definitely rock for your engagement ring.
Do You Have a Budget? If Not, Set One!
This point seems silly but is highly effective when it comes to online engagement rings. Just as if you were going to shop around for a new car or home, you'd set a budget for yourself. Your budget doesn't necessarily need to be one determining number, but can be a range. Based on your own financial factors, set a base number that you know you definitely want to at least spend on an engagement ring. Then cap your budget with your ultimate top and walk away price. This means come up with a number that is the most money you're willing to spend on an engagement ring, and that if it were any higher, you know you unfortunately have to walk away from the deal.
Setting a budget is beneficial to you as a consumer to make sure you're staying within a budget you set for yourself. But it also allows the jewelry store you're scouting to give you the best options that would be doable for your price range. This way you don't waste time browsing items you definitely wouldn't consider. Overall having a budget will present you with your best options for the type of engagement ring you want.
The Main Event – Choosing Your Center Stone
One of the other important factors to consider when you're about to embark on your online engagement ring hunt is to determine the center stone you want. Most engagement rings are sold as a setting – what is a setting you ask? The setting of an engagement ring is the the entire ring besides the center stone diamond (or 3 center stone diamonds in the event you're talking about a 3 Stone Engagement Ring setting). Settings are normally designed to be customized to hold any center stone of your choice. So more times than not, you're purchase your setting and center stone separately.
So which center stone is right for you? Luckily this is all based on personal preference and there are 10 different shapes to choose from. Round – Emerald – Asscher – Cushion – Heart – Marquise – Oval – Pear – Princess – Radiant.
The next thing to keep in mind when it comes to choosing your center are the 4 Cs of Diamond Quality. The 4 Cs were implemented by the GIA to create a universal standard to determine the quality of any diamond. Color, Cut, Clarity, and Carat Weight all play into the cost and quality when choosing a diamond. Check out a variety of these options to get familiar with the difference. Oftentimes the naked-eye can't even notice the small differences.
If you're interested in buying an engagement ring online, don't hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or concerns you may have. We'd love to hear from you.

Due to recent financial entrenchment many Americans saw their supply of income disappear. A comprehensive legal dictionary adds to its body of normal English entries many words and phrases which have made their manner into fashionable legal follow from regulation French and Latin and are rarely found in a general English monolingual dictionary.
Ever since it began its pro bono program, the Society has achieved a lot to ensure it is ready to retain and keep its relationships with the volunteer lawyers throughout their careers within the legal field. First, legal sex staff in horrifying conditions can threaten to name the police, which can discourage violent escalation. It is the legal minimal age at which an individual can legally qualify to hold certain elected authorities places of work. Minimum driving age refers to the legal age after which an individual can obtain a license to operate a motorized vehicle. In legislation, the age of majority is the age at which one acquires the full legal rights of an adult. Obamacare incorporates provisions that would elevate these legal obstacles to efficient health-care integration.
Under common law this age was 10; state statutes within the United States generally set it between 13 and 18. Basically, legal age of consent is when you change into solely answerable for your individual actions.

Michael <firstname.lastname@example.com>:
Perhaps my example of "More detail may help" was not clear enough; for
what purpose do you need the covariance of 2 estimates? If the data
are publicly available, then you can download them and compute the
point estimates and VCE yourself, no?
It turns out that at least one of the special cases where I was
thinking you did not need the whole VCE does not work with survey
data--the case of a regression with two dummies and their interaction
(for -regress-, you can recreate the whole VCE from the reported SEs
but for -svy:reg- you cannot; it is the correction for clustering that
breaks that particular trick, so the trick still works for weighted
regression without a cluster-robust VCE).

Endurance of steel lugs with clearance-fit pins (Tensile mean stress)
Abstract:ESDU 82022 presents the analysis of approximately 440 fatigue tests on steel lugs subjected to constant amplitude loading applied by a single central clearance-fit pin. The steels include 2%Ni-Cr-Mo, 1%Cr-0.55%Mo-18%Ni maraging steel and FV520B ferritic stainless steel. The effect of pin fit and lug size are examined in addition to mean stress effects. Data are also provided on some types of treatment and/or lubrication of the lug bore.

Sander Van Doorn has reinvented himself under his Purple Haze alias and it is sounding better than ever. The alias is one which we have heard before but it is only recently that Sander Van Doorn has really pressed it once again. Now he has released the sweet new single 'Contrast' and this is seriously impressive.
The first single to arrive from Purple Haze was the release of 'Neiloj' and it really set the tone for what lay ahead. With shows at the likes of EDC Las Vegas and Ultra Music Festival, he has been teasing what is set to arrive from the alias. And news of a Purple Haze album is also on the cards, arriving at the end of September. Now we have received the second single, 'Contrast', and it's Sander Van Doorn's Trance alias at its best. Purple Haze is becoming a demanded sound and name.
'Contrast' has that Purple Haze sound attached to it, one which really stands out amongst the rest. With a riveting bass line driving through the track, you already feel the groove and the energy which comes off this. Bringing in the synth work and melodies, layered over the top, it works wonders together and you feel completely enthralled within the track. As it builds, you can feel the energy mounting and the tension with the melodies building up as well. This is one which has you on tenderhooks, one which brings you into the atmosphere of the track and it is highly infectious. Solid work from Sander Van Doorn under his Purple Haze alias. This is a brilliant new track.
You can download 'Contrast' here.
