The food is good, the view delightful and the service great at the Harbor Lights Restaurant in Dania.
On North Federal Highway near Old Griffin Road, Harbor Lights Restaurant isn't much to look at from the outside and it's fairly plain on the inside. But the restaurant does have one outstanding feature: it's practically moored at Cozy Cove Marina and that feeling is enhanced by the huge picture windows that afford diners a nose-to-bow view of the pleasure boats anchored in the slips.
Although it would be easy to while away a few hours just sipping the restaurant's delicious fresh fruit daiquiries, you never have to worry about slow service.
The Budget Diner enjoyed very prompt and friendly service. And, the waitress gave us a super tip: invest $1.25 in a cup of homemade New England clam chowder. There's no doubt in our minds, Harbor Lights serves the best clam chowder available outside Mom's kitchen.
The recipe is by Joseph Capadonno, the owner of Harbor Lights.
Capadonno, who has been in the restaurant business for 43 years, has owned the Harbor Lights for about seven years. He tries to keep overhead low so prices don't need to be high. The atmosphere is casual and the food better than you'd expect.
"I get a very steady regular crowd here and I want to keep it that way," Capadonno said. "So we try to give good service and, of course, we make everything you find on the menu ourselves."
Homestyle roast beef au jus sandwich, with cole slaw and pickle, is $3.95. The roast beef was just the right shade of pink, thinly sliced, and piled high on fresh rolls on the day Budget Diner decided to stop by for lunch.
The half-pound hamburger is also a fine example of a great American tradition: big, juicy and served with a stack of fresh lettuce and tomato, onion and pickle for just $2.95.
Harbor Lights also does a great job with seafood. The broiled bay scallops, served in scampi sauce with a side of vegetables, for $6.50, were very tasty, as was the filet of flounder, served with rice pilaf and vegetable, for $4.95.
The Harbor Lights also serves dinner. The Budget Diner has not had a chance to try the evening meal but Capadonna recommends his "Italian Angler" dinner-for-two. It is $29.95 and it consists of lobster tails, clams, scallops, shrimp and crab in a marinara sauce over linguine.

Perceptron, Inc., a leading global provider of 3D automated metrology solutions and coordinate measuring machines, today announced that at its annual meeting of shareholders held today, Perceptron shareholders approved the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger with Atlas Copco, a world-leading provider of sustainable productivity solutions headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, Perceptron shareholders will receive $7.00 per share in cash for each share of common stock held. The transaction is expected to close during the calendar fourth quarter 2020, subject to customary closing conditions, including the receipt of clearance from CFIUS. Following the closing, Perceptron’s common stock will no longer be publicly traded and will be delisted from Nasdaq Global Market.
In a previous press release announcing that Perceptron had entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Atlas Copco the following comments were made:
“Flexible automation and in-line quality control on the production line are two strong trends where we want to support our customers in their transition towards digital manufacturing”, said Henrik Elmin, Business Area President Industrial Technique. “Through Perceptron’s position in automated metrology and robot guidance, together with the recent acquisition of ISRA VISION, we are creating a strong offering in machine vision solutions and extending the Smart Factory Automation business segment.”
“Since our inception nearly 40 years ago, Perceptron has grown to become a leading metrology brand, one recognized for its ability to provide advanced flexible automation and quality control solutions to a diverse mix of global customers,” stated Jay Freeland, Chairman and Interim CEO of Perceptron. “Atlas Copco recognized the long-term, unrealized value evident in our business, as reflected by a compelling cash offer at a significant premium.”
“After careful consideration, our Board of Directors came to the conclusion that a sale of the Company to Atlas Copco would be the optimal outcome for all shareholders and Perceptron employees,” continued Freeland. “As a respected, well-capitalized organization with global reach, Atlas Copco is an ideal fit for our company. Atlas Copco’s leadership position across a broad array of industrial markets, combined with a growing presence in the machine vision space, will allow them to fully leverage our technology to the benefit of existing and new customers, all while realizing economies of scale with the potential to support growth. We are excited by the opportunities that lay ahead for our combined organizations and recommend that Perceptron shareholders vote in favor of the Agreement and the transaction.”
“The acquisition of Perceptron will enable us to increase our customers’ productivity through best-in-class quality control and an increased automation level”, said Henrik Elmin. “Perceptron has almost 40 years of experience as a leading global provider of 3D automated measurement solutions. There are several identified synergies in sales, operations, service and technology development from Perceptron joining the Machine Vision Solutions division.”
In February 2020 Atlas Copco announced the acquisition of ISRA Vision with the aim to create a global leader in Machine Vision with ISRA as nucleus. The Atlas Copco takeover of ISRA Vision valued the company at 1.09 billion euros ($1.19 billion), including debt, expanding the Swedish company’s business in automated manufacturing and quality control.

Four women put a face on fight against breast cancer
Later this week, readers of The Daily News will be introduced to four remarkable and resilient women from Onslow County. While their life journeys differ, and the fabric of the each lady’s character projects a unique outlook on life, they all share a common thread: They were all diagnosed with breast cancer within the last two years and, in each case, they confronted this potentially deadly scourge with great courage, fearless determination and a belief that this disease was not going to end their lives. In recognition of October being National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Onslow Memorial Hospital has sponsored a 24-page supplement to The Daily News that will appear on Oct. 5. The special section captures the experiences of Sherry Cowan, Sheila Blue, Loyce Norris and Betty Brittain. These women were told something none of us want to ever to hear from our doctor: “You have cancer….” With my involvement in assisting in the production of this supplement, I had the opportunity to accompany Daily News’ photographers Don Bryan and John Althouse on their photo assignments to capture the vibrant images of the four women who are profiled. While the camera’s shutters clicked in a rapid staccato, the images and memories of the four brave women will never be erased from my memory. I was struck by how positive each person was as they related their stories to me as Bryan or Althouse prepared the photo shoot. As I’ve written before in previous columns: I have an intensely personal hatred for cancer. Prostate cancer took the life of my father two years ago. Many say breast cancer is to women as prostate cancer to men — in that it is a serious affliction for women but doesn’t kill similar to prostate cancer in men. Actuarial numbers tend to confirm this observation. But any similarity ends there as the radical treatments for breast cancer often require the removal of one or both breasts and leaves a lifelong, indelible scar for the woman to carry through life. Breast cancer does not discriminate. As readers will learn, the women profiled in this special section range in age from a youthful, 39-year-old Cowan, a Hubert resident; to Blue, an exuberant 63-year-old Rhodestown Road resident; to Norris, a smiling, at-peace-with-life Richlands native; to Jacksonville resident Betty Brittain, who holds a deep faith in God and projects her love of life to anyone who crosses her path. Brittain’s beaming smile and loving embrace of Donna McIntyre — a registered nurse at Onslow Memorial Hospital — is prominently displayed on the front-page of the section. That picture depicts a genuine love between patient and caregiver. They bonded over the course of Brittain’s treatment, which began more than a year ago, and their bond shows no signs of fading. McIntyre, who has been a registered nurse for more than 22 years, seems a bit bashful when Brittain gushes accolades that she is “divine.” McIntyre’s reply is that Brittain is “her miracle.” I suppose it was fitting to witness nurse and patient embracing, bathed in the warm sun of an early fall day in the Healing Garden outside the year-old Onslow Radiation Oncology building. It’s a tranquil setting that offers peace to any patient facing the sudden and unfathomable decisions that Sheila, Sheery, Loyce and Betty encountered. I love each of these women for many reasons, but part of it is that these women are true champions. Due to their triumphs over cancer, I feel they can be an inspiration to all of us who, facing life’s challenges, at times get to feeling overwhelmed. We should all go to school on the experiences of these four women. After reading their stories and if later confronted with what seems like an insurmountable challenge, I want everyone to think of Sherry, Sheila, Loyce and Betty. The national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports for the year ending 2008 that outside of skin cancer, breast cancer in women is the most common type of cancer. It afflicts more than 210,000 females each year and claims 40,000 lives. Just imagine for a moment performing a routine, weekly chore such as shopping at Walmart, an activity Brittain did countless times. A little more than a year ago while shopping there, she was hoisting a 36-bottle case of water into her cart when she felt a “pop” in her back. Undeterred but reeling in pain, she paid for her water and then loaded it into her vehicle. The pain remained — failing to subside for more than a week. Brittain refused to seek medical attention because, as she told me last week, “I had things to do.” One of those things was a birthday party for one of her five grandchildren. After the flames on the birthday candles had been extinguished and the laughter from the party subsided, with prodding by her daughter, Brittain went to the emergency room at Onslow Memorial Hospital. Attending physicians found that her body was ravaged with cancer. Brittain’s cancer — like that of Cowan, Blue and Norris — was concentrated in the breasts. And that leads to another thing the women have in common: They all received treatment for their cancers at Onslow Radiation Oncology from “angels” — as Brittain refers to McIntyre and Dr. Randy Blackburn, a West Virginia native with a down-home bedside manner. Brittain’s faith in God and her trust in her medical team pulled her through this unexpected challenge in her life’s journey. It’s truly amazing to meet people such as Betty, Sheila Sherry and Loyce who have faced life-threatening situations and prevailed. These individuals have overcome challenges few of us ever believe will happen to us. They did so with courage, stamina and dignity. Their story will soon be told and maybe someone reading it will take heed and get a mammogram. And perhaps their stories will help save lives — keep the discussion alive, ladies.

Are you a Christian, or are you just fooling yourself?
At 1 Thessalonians 4:16 (RS), the command of Jesus Christ for the resurrection to begin is described as “the archangel’s call,” and Jude 9 says that the archangel is Michael. Would it be appropriate to liken Jesus’ commanding call to that of someone lesser in authority? Reasonably, then, the archangel Michael is Jesus Christ. (Interestingly, the expression “archangel” is never found in the plural in the Scriptures, thus implying that there is only one.)
~ “Jesus Christ“, Watchtower Online Library
Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormons and some other groups do not believe that Jesus Christ was and is God. This has also become a common heresy in some claimed areas of the Churches of God.
Is Jesus God? If not, then quit calling yourself a Christian right now! Either Jesus pre-existed, was divine, became a human and was resurrected back to godhood, or Christianity is a false religion. You cannot have it both ways!
A “Christian”, in its simplest terms, is one who follows Christ (cf. Ac 11:21,26). The entire Christian movement began by a few people literally following Jesus around, but especially a core of twelve Apostles.
These people were disciples of Jesus. A disciple literally left their lifestyles and followed the teacher, the rabbi in this case, around, eating, drinking, sleeping and traveling with him, learning from his words and actions. A student in a school listens to the professor or teacher and tries to learn from them and the provided materials, but a disciple actually experiences what the teacher believes in action and by emulation.
In a very real sense, they try to become the teacher as much as possible.
So, why not believe what the Teacher taught? Why not believe the materials the Teacher pointed to? Why not believe what the Teacher Himself believed?
What Did Jesus Say?
Many will claim that Jesus never claimed to be God or even the Son of God, and they will use all sorts of clever arguments to get around the fact that He did exactly that.
During the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness, what did the Devil try to prick Jesus’ ego with? “If thou be the Son of God…” (Mt 4:3, 6).
Now, the fact that the Devil said it does not make it so. However, the fact that Jesus did not lift a finger to contradict him speaks volumes. Jesus could have easily explained that He was not the Son of God, after all, and therefore nip these particular temptations right in the bud!
Just compare Mt 16:15-16; Jn 5:18; Jn 10:33 for a full picture of what Jesus Himself claimed:
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Again, Christ did nothing to correct Peter’s assertion, which means it was true! However, the consequences of the belief that He was the Son of God lead to far more dire conclusions if not refuted.
18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
Of course, Jesus could have easily asserted this was not the case. Instead, Jesus pushed it further, stating that it was the power of the Father in the Son that was at work (v19), even to the power to resurrect people to life (v21)! IOW, Jesus not only did these things because He was the Son of God, with power equal to God, but He had God’s approval in doing them!
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
Again, the Jews were offended that Jesus would claim to be the Son of God. Still, He did not try to correct their interpretation that being the Son of God was the same as saying He had the power of God, but rather He continued to press on with telling them that He had God’s authority and approval to do so.
However, two times Jesus made an even bolder claim. Not only did He claim to be God, but He claimed to be the God of the Old Testament, YHWH, or the “I AM” of the only Scriptures they had in those days.
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
~ Jn 8:58
Again, the Jews wanted to stone Him. They understood what Jesus was saying, and He did nothing to dissuade them that He meant exactly what they were thinking: He was claiming to be the God of Abraham.
5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.
6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
~ Jn 18:5-6
What is not evident in the public domain version of the KJV on BibleGateway.com is that the “he” is in italics. Notice the Authorized King James Version:
5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. 6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.
A lot of Jesus movies get this all wrong. The gentile guards did not step back and fall down in worship! These were pagan idolators! No, they “went backward”, which means they were knocked backwards onto their backs!
In this unusual show of power, Jesus was making it quite plain that He was allowing Himself to be taken! He was willingly laying down His life (Jn 10:17-18)!
Jesus made no bones about it: He was and is God! He was the actual God of the OT!
Some think God the Father was the God of the OT. Many Protestants believe that God the Father was the strict and stern God that gave all those useless laws, but then came along Jesus who in effect said, “Loosen up, Daddy-O! We don’t need all those laws!” and then proceeded to “keep them for us”, whatever in the world that is supposed to mean.
However, discounting this very idea are the words of Jesus Himself:
45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God [referring to Himself], he [not they!] hath seen the Father.
~ Jn 6:45-46
27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
~ Mt 11:27
Not only was Jesus Christ the God of the OT, God the Father could not have been! God, YHWH, appeared in a cloud on top of Mt Sinai. God, YHWH, walked and talked with Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Since Jesus was and is God, it must have been Him doing these things.
New Testament Verses In Proper Context
HWA taught that the plain things were the main things and the main things were the plain things. How many have gotten it backwards!
These we have just gone over are plain verses. We need to use the plain verses of the Bible to interpret the not-so-plain verses, not the other way around. Those who engage into eisegesis, reading what they want to see into the word, instead of exegesis, getting the meaning out of the word, start with the vague verses like Jn 1:1:
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
By starting with the more vague Scriptures, it is easier to twist its meaning and the other Scriptures by comparing them to the twisted Scripture. However, doing exegesis makes it plain that the “Word” is Jesus Christ preincarnate.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
~ v 3
Compare this to:
24 God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
~ Ac 17:24
2 [God] Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
~ Heb 1:2
Jesus Christ is not only the God of the OT, He is God the Creator that was revealed in Genesis 1!
Prophecy reveals that Jesus is God as well. Most importantly, we are told that He was “God with us”.
14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
~ Isa 7:14
The only way critics have found around this is to dig into the meaning of “virgin” and reinterpret (ie, twist) it! At the end of the day, there is only one Who was born of a virgin! And, it is quite clear Who He was:
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
~ Mt 1:23
I think it is shameful that a verse that even most Protestants and Catholics get right would be so rejected by those who claim to be part of the COG!
Granted, many times people were named various names with alternatives of God’s name within them. However, what is overlooked in such an argument is that God is the One giving the name here!
And, there’s more!
Take a look at Isa 44:6; Rev 1:8; Rev 22:13 side by side:
6 Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
In these last two, it is the revelation of Jesus Christ, and thus it is obvious Who is speaking here. In fact, He even states so again just before the dictation of the letters to the seven churches (1:11).
Here is a logic puzzle for you. It’s called the Napkin Test. Take a napkin (or some other piece of paper you can write on), and draw a line down the middle. The napkin represents all things that exist.
On the left side, write “All things that never came into being”, which means all things that have always existed even before time itself. On the right side, write “All things that came into being”, which means they did not exist previously but somewhere along the line they were created.
Hopefully, you can easily see that the only logical thing you can put on the left side is “God”. Only God is uncreated, existing from one end of eternity to the other.
Now, what goes on the right side. Essentially, “All created things”. Since they have not always existed, someone or something had to create them.
Now, Who is the author of “all created things”? As we have already seen, Jesus Christ (Jn 1:3)! Jesus Christ created “all things”, which is also stated in Col 1:16. Obviously, Christ pre-existed in order to create all things!
Since Christ created “all things”, which category does He belong? If Christ were a created being, then He could not have created “all things”, since He could not have created Himself. Therefore, the only logical place to put Him is in the category on the left, which makes Him “God”!
Was Jesus a Hypocrite?
Did Jesus mean what He taught?
8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
~ Lk 4:8
So, did Jesus mean this or not? If only God was to be worshipped, then how could He allow someone to worship Him? Unless, of course, He is God?
2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
~ Mt 8:2
When God says something once, we should pay attention. When God says something twice, we definitely should consider what that means. I count eleven verses where Jesus was worshipped (and the Romans mocking Him does not count)!
In comparison, John fell down to worship a spirit being showing him the visions of Revelation, and the angel rebuked him. If Jesus were not God in the flesh, would He had not done the same?
The Weight of Evidence
When the weight of evidence favors one side in abundance, it takes a clearly closed and twisted mind to ignore it.
Point blank: You either believe Jesus was always and still is God, or you are not a Christian.

in the Talking Stick Resort Grand Ballroom in an incredible one-night
performance backed by a full orchestra. Just two years ago, Jackie first sang
for the judges on NBC’s variety show “America’s Got Talent,” and there were
viewers who were so shocked by her beautiful singing they were thoroughly
convinced she had to be lip-synching. During her next appearance in the
competition, the judges asked their 10-year-old contestant to improvise a tune.
She performed flawlessly, came in second place and her soon-to-be legendary
career was launched.
unique, gorgeous soprano has won her millions of fans and her recordings have
dominated the music and DVD charts. Billboard Magazine named Jackie to their
list of music movers-and-shakers under the age of 21. Her first album hit
platinum; her second album hit gold. And this year, Jackie recorded her third

Imagine you are in charge of an e-commerce hub with upwards of 1,250 sellers representing 3,400 brands globally. Now consider your desire to reduce carbon emissions across your company – but consider, too, that all those thousands of retailers fulfil their own shipping. Welcome to the headache with which José Neves, the founder of the multi-retailer e-commerce site Farfetch, was faced when he set about calculating the carbon footprint of his company.
“It turned out that 85 per cent of our emissions are related to shipping and returns,” says Neves, speaking via conference site Blue Jeans from his home in Portugal. “Fashion is one of the most polluting industries. It’s the responsibility of the industry to manage its impact on the planet.”
Neves, who launched Farfetch in 2008, is a man with a sustainability plan. Last year, he unveiled Positively Farfetch, a multi-strand eco agenda that sees the retailer offset its carbon impact amongst other sustainable initiatives. A new instalment was announced this week: titled “Climate Conscious Delivery”. This updated branch of eco practice will see Farfetch offset the carbon impact of all its shipping and returns – despite the fact that, as previously mentioned, the independent retailers that use its platform handle their own shipping, rather than products emanating from one centralised distribution facility.
“It was much more complex for us to implement than other retailers, as it was harder to measure [our overall] impact, [taking into account] all the different routes,” Neves admits. One of the site’s retailers “could send a parcel from New York to Chicago, which is one impact. Or they could send it to Tokyo, and that is also one impact, but completely different. So, how do we offset all the differences?” He worked with external sustainability consultants EcoAct, to not only figure out how to reduce the emissions of the goods in transit, but also how to give back to the planet.

Tropical Storm Debby maintaining 45 mph winds in Atlantic; Hector approaching Hawaii with 115 mph winds
The 2018 Atlantic hurricane season begins June 1 and runs through Nov. 30. This year, experts from Colorado State University predict 14 named tropical storms, of which seven will become hurricanes. Both numbers are above the average of 12 and six, respectively.
Conditions remained very active in the Pacific Wednesday, with two hurricanes and a tropical storm.
In the Atlantic, forecasters continued to predict Tropical Storm Debby will dissipate over open water.
Tropical storm warnings have been issued in Hawaii, with the current forecast putting the center of category 3 Hurricane Hector 150 miles south of the Big Island later today.
Tropical Storm Debby is moving over the cold waters of the North Atlantic.
- Location: 1,100 miles west-northwest of the Azores
- Maximum sustained winds: 40 mph
- Movement: northeast at 15 mph
At 5 p.m., the center of Tropical Storm Debby was 1,100 miles west-northwest of the Azores.
Interactive map: Track storms in Atlantic, Pacific
Debby is moving toward the northeast near 15 mph, and this motion is expected to continue Wednesday and Thursday.
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 40 mph, with higher gusts. Debby is forecast to dissipate on Thursday.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles to the southeast of the center.
Powerful Hurricane Hector is moving south of Big Island in Hawaii.
- Location: 220 miles south of Hilo, Hawaii
- Maximum sustained winds: 115 mph
- Movement: west at 16 mph
At 5 p.m., the center of Hurricane Hector was 220 miles south of Hilo, Hawaii.
Hector is moving toward the west near 16 mph, and this motion is expected to continue through Thursday, with a gradual turn toward the northwest expected Friday and Saturday..
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to 115 mph, with higher gusts.
Hector remains a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.
Some slight weakening is forecast during the next couple of days.
However, Hector will likely remain a powerful hurricane through Thursday night.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 90 miles.
Tropical storm warnings were issued for Hawaii County.
Swells generated by Hector will likely produce large and dangerous surf along southeast and east facing shores of the Big Island today. Large surf also is expected along east facing shores of Maui.
Tropical storm conditions are expected across portions of the Big Island later today as the core of Hector passes to the south.
The outer bands of Hurricane John continue to produce locally heavy rainfall over southern Baja California.
- Location: 240 miles west-southwest of Baja California
- Maximum susatined winds: 85 mph
- Movement: northwest at 15 mph
At 5 p.m., Hurricane John was about 240 miles west-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California.
John is moving toward the northwest near 15 mph. A turn toward the west-northwest is expected by Friday. On the forecast track, the center of John will pass well to the southwest of Baja California Sur Wednesday through Thursday.
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to 85 mph, with higher gusts.
Weakening is forecast during the next few days. John is expected to become a tropical storm Thursday and degenerate into a remnant low Friday night or Saturday.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 30 miles from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles.
Tropical Storm Kristy
Tropical Storm Kristy is expected to turn northward Thursday.
- Location: 1,3405 miles west-southwest of Baja California
- Maximum sustained winds: 45 mph
- Movement: west-northwest at 6 mph
At 5 p.m., the center of Tropical Storm Kristy was 1,405 miles west-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California.
Kristy is moving toward the west-northwest near 6 mph. A turn toward the north is expected later today or early Thursday, and a general northward motion is forecast to continue for a few days thereafter.
Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph, with higher gusts. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles from the center.
Some slow strengthening is forecast during the next couple of days.

Eduard King Tiger turned aluminum
gun tube (34052)
by Frank De Sisto
Price: $12.95 USD.
This gun tube is a replica of later the two-part 8.8cm KwK as seen on
those Tiger IIs with the series production turrets. It was also seen on
some of the earlier turrets (that are still, after all these years incorrectly
referred to as “Porche” turrets; all turrets were built by
Krupp), and with modification, can probably be used on the Jagdpanther
kit of your choice.
This single-piece, cleanly turned item has an integral muzzle brake,
which, unfortunately only partially matches drawings in Jentz & Doyle’s
Panzer Tracts book on the subject. On page 6-45, the muzzle brake appears
to be too small, while the length of the forward section is slightly too
long. The rear section matches the drawing very well, however. On page
6-51, the muzzle brake almost matches as does the rear section of the
gun tube. But the forward section is again too long. The Schiffer book
by Jentz & Doyle, “VK45.02 to Tiger II” has drawings that
cause the gun tube to cross the gutter between two pages, making them
useless for compareson.
As the references cannot agree amongst themselves, I simply don’t
know how to call this one!

According to a Deloitte’s Human Capital I.Q. bulletin for August 2006, of concern were the provisions of the Act relating to treatment of credit balances when considering contributions due to defined benefit pension plans. Only companies that are above 80% funded will be able to count credit balances, or money paid into pension plans early, toward quarterly pension payments. The credit balance provision was also ranked as important or very important by 72% of sponsors surveyed.
Almost 90% of respondents said their Board of Directors has considered the impact of the pension legislation to some extent, the Deloitte bulletin says. Forty-two percent said their Board has reviewed the effects of the legislation on financial statements, 20% reported their Board has requested briefings on the potential effects, and 34% said their Boards considered the effects but decided to wait for the final bill to do an extensive study on the issue. Only 13% reported their Boards had not considered the effects of the legislation.
Almost half of sponsors surveyed (49%) said they believe the publicity surrounding pension protection and the pending legislation will make employees value their DB plans more. Less than one-fifth (17%) said it would cause employees to value their pension plans less and 34% said it would have no effect on employee thoughts about their pensions.
However, more than half of sponsors (53%) reported no change in the number of questions by employees about DB plans. Thirty-six percent have noticed employees asking more questions, and none of those surveyed said they are being asked less questions.

:: Ionising and non-ionising radiation
Ionising radiation at high doses causes cancer in humans: only a few cancer types have never been related to ionising radiation. This has been known for decades, and excellent summaries of the scientific literature are available. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) recently classified X-rays, g-rays and neutrons as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1). This is irrespective of the different patterns of energy release and penetrating power of the different types of ionising radiation. Energy at high levels may lead to cellular and DNA damage followed by cell killing, whereas at lower doses it may lead to mutations increasing the risk of cancer. The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) issues recommendations for radiological protection based on the existing scientific literature.
High-dose ionising radiation is used in medicine to treat cancer. These types of exposures are at present outside the scope of the European Code Against Cancer. However, much of our evidence on the effects of ionising radiation on humans is derived from such uses, and from the atomic bomb survivors at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The main source of radiation to the human population comes from the natural background, both terrestrial and cosmic, whilst the man-made sources, such as atmospheric nuclear testing, nuclear accidents (e.g. Chernobyl) and nuclear power production, which cause the most public concern, cause only very little exposure (Table 9).
The United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) estimates the population risk of dying from cancer after an acute dose of 1000 mSv is about 9% for men and 13% for women. The estimates could be reduced by 50% for chronic exposures. The worldwide average annual effective dose is 2.4 mSv. The lifetime exposure of the population to all sources of ionising radiation was estimated by the National Radiological Protection Board to account for 1% of all fatal cancers in the UK.(http://www.nrpb.org/radiationtopics/risks/cancer risk.htm – 22 November 2002). Only 1% of this risk is ascribed to the small doses from man-made radiation.
For the purpose of the European Code Against Cancer, this review concentrates on the possible effects of the natural background radiation, terrestrial (in the form of radon gas) and cosmic radiation, as it is possible to control exposure to both. Furthermore, we assess the cancer risk related to the Chernobyl accident and that among nuclear workers and people living near nuclear installations. Diagnostic radiation is of concern for the population groups undergoing examinations, be it screening of healthy individuals with mammography or computed tomography (CT) scans for lung cancer or when there is a suspicion of thyroid disease. Screening with low-dose CT for lung cancer is reported to give an effective dose of between 0.2 and 1 mSv. Using the risk factor of 5% per 1 Sv (ICRP 60), this would imply one to five radiation induced fatal cancers per 100.000 examinations. Mammography screening for breast cancer typically gives an absorbed average glandular dose of 3 mGy. It has been estimated in Sweden that among women aged 50–69 years, with a reduction in breast cancer mortality due to a mammographic screening programme of 25%, that 560 deaths from breast cancer would be avoided. It is estimated that the effect of the radiation would be to induce between 1 and 5 fatal breast cancers per 100.000 examinations. Although the collective dose from diagnostics to the population is small relative to natural radiation, benefit analyses should be performed to avoid unnecessary exposure.
Non-ionising radiation from sources such as power lines, electrical equipment, mobile phones and solar radiation raise public concern as to a possible carcinogenic effect. The ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-ionising Radiation Protection) issues guidelines for limiting exposure, and the German “Stralenschutzkommission” and the UK NRPB recently published reviews assessing the health risks. The evidence on power lines and mobile phones are dealt with in this section, whereas solar radiation is dealt with separately.

Invention gets soil carbon measurement off the ground
Researchers have invented an instrument to measure carbon levels in soil, making it more feasible to monitor large areas of land.
The instrument, called the 'carbon soil bench', is a furnace on wheels, that burns a soil sample and tests how much carbon dioxide is created.
Robert Pallasser, from the Soil Security Lab at the University of Sydney, says the instrument is proving to be cheaper, more accurate and less labour-intensive than the current measurement techniques that have proved a substantial barrier to soil carbon projects under the Carbon Farming Initiative.
"Currently, it's a very laborious process to measure soil carbon." he said.
"The standard method of determining soil carbon relies on very small amount of material.
"You take a pinch from here and a pinch from there, and you've got this huge variation.
"This method, I believe, is a lot more reliable and a lot more robust across on an agricultural scale.

L is for Lipids
We typically associate lipids with our blood cholesterol levels however, they serve many other important purposes in our body. Lipids are fatty, wax-like organic compounds and are insoluble in water. They can originate from plants, animals, or even be created synthetically. We categorize lipids into three groups; triglycerides, steroids, and phospholipids.
Triglycerides are lipids we obtain through fat sources of food such as oils, butters, and the fat in animals. Although we typically associate these as “bad” or unhealthy, we do need some to keep our body healthy. A benefit of triglycerides is that they provide us with insulation for both warmth and the protection of our internal organs. On the downside, if we consume too many calories than we burn off during the day, both fat & other calories, our storage levels of triglycerides could elevate to unhealthy levels.
Steroids are lipids in the form of hormones and cholesterol. The cholesterol our bodies both produce and consume through food play an important role in the production of hormones. Examples of these hormones produced include estrogen, progesterone, adrenaline, cortisol, and testosterone.
Phospholipids are similar to triglycerides, but vary in their water-solubility. Specifically, phospholipids are half water-soluble compared to triglycerides which are not water-soluble at all. As a result, they are a large component of our cell membranes providing protection to our cells.
Healthy Lipid sources:
- Plant oils such as olive oil, vegetable oil, avocado oil, flaxseed oil, safflower oil
- Nuts such as almonds, walnuts, cashews
Sources to enjoy in moderation:
- Coconut oil
- Palm oil
- Animal fat

- There will be no Google Pixel 4a 5G or Google Pixel 5 India launches.
- Google verified the information right now within a Pixel 4a push launch.
- It is attainable this information relates to the Pixel 5 possessing Movement Feeling.
Right now, Google last but not least took the wraps off 1 of the most hotly predicted phones of the year: the Google Pixel 4a. It also confirmed two other gadgets coming afterwards this yr, namely the Google Pixel 4a 5G and the Google Pixel 5.
Although these two phones will see launches in various areas of the environment ahead of the conclusion of 2020, there will not be Google Pixel 4a 5G or Google Pixel 5 India or Singapore launches. Google confirmed that these two nations around the world will not see either machine.
The correct estimate from the launch is here:
Concerning the two new 5G Pixel phones that ended up introduced globally these days, these will not be offered in India or Singapore, primarily based on a range of variables like nearby current market developments and product or service options. We continue being deeply dedicated to our present Pixel phones and seem forward to bringing long term Pixel gadgets to these countries.
Google Pixel 5 not coming to India or Singapore
Google’s reasoning behind not bringing the Pixel 4a 5G to India is likely rather logical: 5G is not a detail in India so a 5G-powered variation of a mobile phone that is coming to India is in all probability not essential.
Even so, the absence of a Google Pixel 5 India start is a little stranger. We assume the Pixel 5 to also be 5G-capable, but that would not be a superior adequate rationale to avert it from landing in the world’s next-major smartphone industry.
It is feasible that this information relates to Google’s Motion Sense: the radar-powered process employed in the Google Pixel 4 series which was the key motive for the absence of an India start in 2019. If the Google Pixel 5 has Movement Sense, that would negate an India start all on its individual.
While, it could simply just be that Google wishes to give all its focus to the Google Pixel 4a when it arrives to the Indian market. The actuality that the Pixel 4a won’t even land there until finally Oct (and we really do not nonetheless know how significantly it will charge), implies a Pixel 5 could group up its start.
No matter what the scenario, the lack of a Google Pixel 5 India launch will possible be upsetting for Pixel lovers there. All we can hope is that these consumers will be delighted more than enough with the Pixel 4a, which, to be truthful, is just one of our finest-reviewed phones of the calendar year so significantly.

She also applies her diverse skill set to sultry boudoir shoots, coaxing out each subject's inner pinup in the process.
An ultramodern white loveseat sits framed by a wall decked in vinyl records and a zebra-print rug. There, a figure strikes an edgy pose. Though it might sound like a scene from a music executive's metropolitan loft at the height of the Swinging Sixties, the action plays out far closer to home. At Revolution Studios, the photo enterprise owned and operated by the husband-and-wife duo of Dan and Somer Hadley, glamour is only a costume change away. During their photography shoots, they pair individuals and couples with the scenery and inspiration to bring their inner wild things to life. Dan and Somer encourage their clients to express themselves through personal props and wardrobe choices. In addition to devising personal styles, clients can also consult with on-site hair and makeup experts.
The path that Carmicia K. Goff took to professional photography began when she received a video camera for her 11th birthday and found she loved to, as she put it, "capture memories." With her younger sister Mercedes, Ms. Goff shoots video and photos with a natural and realistic style. They work in many different areas, including photographing families, taking headshots, and documenting weddings.
Captured Images, LLC’s owner knows her way around Raleigh. Her on-location photo shoots take place everywhere from the sidewalks of Fayetteville Street to the shaded trails of Yates Mill Park. These natural settings are the backdrop for her specialty: family photos. She captures all stages of family life, including weddings, maternity, newborn, and family reunions. Many of her photos feature vibrant color, but she occasionally likes to send them through the sepia filter to add a rustic touch reminiscent of George Washington’s dating profile picture.
As the mother of four small children, Lauren Wicker knows what it means to be patient. She also knows how quickly cherished moments come and go, and the importance of preserving those moments as often as possible. With that in mind, Lauren steps behind her camera to conduct on-location shoots, specializing in everything from babies and families to weddings and school portraits. She also works extensively with special needs children and adults, and has photographed approximately 100 special needs individuals during her career.

At Technilube we only use the highest quality, strictly Virgin, Group 2 base oils for our lubricant products. These highly refined mineral oils provide higher quality, and longer service life for our lubricants and exceed industry standards.
These base oils are blended with internationally specified additive packs in ISO approved facilities resulting in superior quality products you can trust. We make sure that we are supplying the correct product for your application so that you have peace of mind and continue doing what you need to do, and not worry about your equipment.
This is a range of virgin mineral base oils conforming to the international classification ISO type HM 0 (Oils inhibited against rust and oxidation and containing anti-wear additives) and blended to fall within the ISO viscosity grades. Our Hydraulic Oils have good low temperature characteristics and offer a wide choice of viscosities, their solvent refined base oils are fortified by full additive treatment, which minimises oxidation, foaming, and ensures long machinery life by reducing wear and preventing corrosion.
These oils are formulated for use in hydraulic equipment but their properties are such that they are also suitable for other machinery in which lubricants of high oxidation stability and excellent anti-wear performance are required. The range of viscosities in this series of oils provides a grade for virtually every hydraulic function in which a mineral oil is suitable. The quality of the base oils and additives allows the Technilube Hydraulic Oil range to be applied in lightly loaded gears, in some variable speed units, in bearings and in machine tools.
We also offer High VI ("Super Hydraulic"), Synthetic and fully Food Grade Hydraulic oil options.
Industrial Gear Oils
Our formulation provides excellent corrosion protection, antifoam, demulsibility and oxidation-resistance characteristics. The sulphur phosphorous gear oil technology is provided by the use of highly developed and tested additives to produce lubricants that meet the most exacting demands of modern industrial machinery.
For use in industrial type gearboxes and variable speed drives operating under severe conditions.
We also supply a wide range of specialist gear oil products for specific applications as well as Semi and Full Synthetic Gear Oils. Please Contact Us for more information.
Technilube’s range of Compressor Oils is carefully blended using premium quality paraffinic base oils and additives that minimize oxidation, deposit formation and foaming as well as provide a high degree of boundary lubrication between moving metal surfaces. They also combat the effects of water contamination and prevent corrosion.
In oil flooded rotary compressors the oxidizing conditions are extremely severe because fine droplets of water are mixed with hot, compressed air. In some screw-type air compressors the rotors are gear driven and do not make contact, in others one rotor drives another. Heavy contact loads occur where power is transmitted from one rotor to another; here the lubricating oil encounters physical conditions similar to those between mating gear teeth.
Under these operating conditions the oil has to fulfill three main functions.
To lubricate moving parts
To form a gas-tight seal around the compressor space
To cool the air being compressed
In addition to our regular compressor oils we also have a full ranges of high performanc Semi- and Full-Synthetic Compressor products.

Few things are more stressful than missing work due to a workplace injury. Fortunately, systems such as workers’ compensation insurance were put in place to help protect workers from suffering financially while they recover from these injuries.
However, while workers’ comp can help with medical expenses and lost wages, it does not fully protect an injured worker’s job. If you’re reading this article, the question you may be asking is “Can I be fired while on workers’ compensation in Illinois.”
Put simply — yes. You can be fired while on workers comp. However, you cannot be fired because you filed a workers’ comp claim in Illinois. This crosses the line into retaliation and possibly even discrimination.
In This Article:
- What is Workers’ Compensation Insurance?
- What Can You Legally Be Fired For in Illinois
- Does My Employer Have to Hold My Job While on Workers’ Comp?
- Will I Still Receive Workers’ Compensation Benefits If I Was Fired?
- Signs That You Were Illegally Fired for Filing a Workers’ Comp Claim
- How Can I Prove I Was Wrongfully Terminated?
- When Should I Contact a Lawyer?
What is Workers’ Compensation Insurance?
Workers’ compensation insurance is a type of insurance that helps cover the expenses associated with a workplace injury. Most employers in Illinois are required to carry workers’ compensation insurance, so when an employee is injured, their insurance covers the cost of providing benefits. Many Chicago workers will be eligible to collect workers’ compensation and should not hesitate to file a claim for these benefits if injured at work.
Workers’ compensation is meant to help cover the expenses associated with recovering from a work-related injury. This includes coverage for hospital bills, treatment, and lost wages. Workers’ comp is a no-fault system so there is no need to prove negligence like other personal injury cases.
What Can You Legally Be Fired For in Illinois
Illinois is an at-will employment state, meaning that unless otherwise stated in an employee contract, you can quit your job for any reason without notice. But it also means that you can be fired for any legal reason by your employer. The Illinois Workers’ Rights Act protects workers from being fired due to their protected class, such as national origin, gender, or age.
However, if you violated company policies, made mistakes at work, your job performance suffered before you got hurt, or if you are unable to perform your job duties due to your injury, your employer may have probable cause for termination.
Does My Employer Have To Hold My Job While On Workers’ Comp?
Work-related injuries are usually the result of an accident, one that may have been completely out of your control. So it may feel unfair to know that your employer is not obligated to hold your job while on workers comp. However, the Americans With Disabilities Act mandates that employers make reasonable efforts to accommodate workers with disabilities.
Injured workers who may be temporarily or permanently disabled following a workplace injury should be offered accommodations that would allow them to perform their work duties.
At the end of the day, the company is running a business that requires certain positions to be filled for it to function properly. Fortunately, many employers may try to find another position for you until you have reached maximum medical improvement (MMI) and can return to your normal job duties. However, they are not obligated to do so.
Will I Still Receive Workers’ Compensation Benefits If I Was Fired?
Yes, absolutely. If you were fired while on workers’ comp, you will continue to receive workers’ comp benefits until you reach maximum medical improvement (MMI) and have been released to return to work by your doctor. Until you have recovered enough to go back to work, you will receive either temporary total disability or temporary partial disability benefits.
Signs That You Were Illegally Fired for Filing a Workers’ Comp Claim
The Illinois Workers’ Rights Act requires employers to give a reason for termination. If you were fired by your employer after filing a workers’ compensation claim, and the reason they gave was unclear or they did not provide any reason at all, this may be the first sign that you were illegally fired for filing your workers’ comp claim.
There may be a few more signs that happen before you are laid off that may indicate retaliation for filing your claim. Remember that these signs are not definitive proof, and you may need to consult with an employment retaliation lawyer to understand your specific situation. Here are some signs to consider:
Your termination occurs soon after filing a workers’ comp claim. If there is a clear connection between your claim and your dismissal, it could be a potential indicator.
Lack of Legitimate Reasons
The reasons provided for your termination seem vague, inconsistent, or unsubstantiated. If your employer fails to provide reasonable justifications for your termination, it may suggest a wrongful motive.
You notice that you were treated differently from other employees who faced similar situations or had similar performance issues. If your employer specifically targets you while others in comparable circumstances are not reprimanded, it could imply retaliation.
Negative Comments About Your Claim
If your employer or supervisor makes disparaging remarks about your workers’ compensation claim, such as stating that it is a burden for the company or suggesting that you are faking your injury, it might indicate a bias against your claim.
Prior Positive Evaluations or Performance
If you had a history of positive performance reviews or a solid work record before filing the workers’ comp claim, and your termination occurs shortly afterward, it could be indicative of retaliation.
Lack of Documentation
Your employer fails to provide appropriate documentation or warnings regarding performance issues leading up to your termination. If there is a lack of evidence or proper documentation of any performance-related problems, it might suggest a pretextual reason for your dismissal.
If you have colleagues who can attest to discriminatory or retaliatory behavior related to your workers’ compensation claim, their statements can support your case.
Inconsistent Policy Application
If your employer deviates from established policies and procedures when it comes to your termination, it might indicate a wrongful motive. For example, if your employer typically offers a warning or probationary period for performance issues but terminates you without following this process, it could be suspicious.
Remember that these signs are not definitive proof, and each situation is unique. If you suspect that you were wrongfully terminated due to your workers’ compensation claim, it is advisable to consult with a workers’ compensation attorney who can evaluate the specifics of your case and provide appropriate guidance.
How Can I Prove I Was Wrongfully Terminated?
It can be difficult to prove that you have been wrongfully terminated for filing a workers’ comp claim. It’s best to immediately contact a workers’ compensation lawyer if you suspect any wrongdoing. Keep in mind that your termination had to have occurred within 90 days of filing a claim for your work-related injury.
An attorney will help by collecting evidence, speaking to witnesses, and investigating your case to prove illegal retaliation for filing your workers’ comp claim. If successful, you will receive compensation for your retaliation case in addition to receiving workers’ compensation benefits.
Note that contracted employees may have specific conditions of employment. Having an experienced employment lawyer review your contract may be an important step to take to determine if you were wrongfully terminated for your claim.
When Should I Contact a Lawyer?
If you believe you were wrongfully terminated for reporting a workplace injury or filing a workers’ compensation claim, you should contact an attorney as soon as possible. The sooner you reach out about your suspicions, the easier it will be to build a case against your employer. Proving retaliatory termination can be a difficult task and not one to embark on without legal expertise.

ANOTHER day and another knife killing on the streets of Dublin. This time we have the death of David Byrne in Inchicore. He was chased and stabbed to death, in a planned attack.
It has been reported that the deceased was a low-type gang member who had involvement in drug dealing. Whether he was or not he did not deserve to be stabbed to death.
These selfish thugs may now have climbed the ladder of promotion within their pack after carrying out the knife killing. It will continue like this, until they are caught or come to harm themselves. These are the two ends for gang members, there is no third way.
The fact is that the use of a knife to settle arguments has now become an epidemic, and has to have the highest priority among all citizens and gardai.
The stop-and-search methods that were used in Operational Anvil -- to search for gangland guns -- will have to be implemented again, this time for knives.
In a recent murder trial of the Dumbrell brothers for the killing of Christy Cawley, also in Inchicore, Judge Paul Butler condemned the use of knives on our streets and echoed the similar words of Judge Paul Carney.
In an open letter to the Minister for Justice recently I wrote of the irony that cigarettes have to be concealed from the public in shops yet knives of all shapes and sizes are displayed.
Surely this type of action has to be stopped and urgently? Why are knives not hidden at the back of a store and when a purchaser enters seeking to buy all his/her details should be recorded with proper identification required?
It's not impossible. It just takes a sense of responsibility by all concerned.
The investigation of David Byrne's murder is being conducted by experienced detectives at Kilmainham and Kevin Street. They will be assisted by some national units who will have to go back to their offices for lunch and finish work at 5pm -- due to cutbacks.
Meanwhile local officers at the above stations will plough on endeavouring to bring the murders to justice.
Minister Shatter and Commissioner Callinan, this type of slipshod use of the national units will have to stop. The days of politicking with serious crime investigation are over.
I am reiterating these words about the national units because some of their members have uttered them to me. And the public need to know.

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — Taiwan-owned Foxconn Technology Group, a leading maker of Apple's iPhones and gadgets for other global brands, is widening the scope of union elections at its sprawling facilities in China.
The move, confirmed by the company Monday, follows a series of recommendations from an international panel requested by Apple to audit conditions for the 1.2 million workers in Foxconn's mainland factories.
Foxconn said it will deepen employees' involvement in union elections so the unions can more effectively represent their interests. It said it hopes this will impact labor standards throughout China.
Foxconn previously came under heavy scrutiny for labor policies that allegedly led a dozen workers to commit suicide. It has also faced increasing protests and strikes as Chinese workers become increasingly aware of labor rights.

ASSIS, Ana Marlúcia O. et al. Childhood anemia prevalence and associated factors in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Cad. Saúde Pública [online]. 2004, vol.20, n.6, pp.1633-1641. ISSN 1678-4464. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0102-311X2004000600022.
A cross-sectional study was conducted in 1996 to estimate the prevalence of anemia in a stratified sample of 603 preschool children and identify factors associated with the disease. Hemoglobin assays were conducted in finger-prick blood samples using a Hemocue hemoglobinometer. Anemia was defined as hemoglobin below 11.0g/dl. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the potential associations. Observed anemia prevalence was 46.3%. Associated factors were: the 6-12-month and 12-24-month age brackets, the lowest tertiles for iron density and protein content dietary intake, and any degree of deficit in the height-for-age anthropometric parameter. Inadequate physical, sanitary, and environmental conditions in the home were associated with a significantly increased risk of anemia. Anemia constitutes an important health problem in this study's child population. Improvements in living conditions and dietary quality could contribute to a reduction in anemia prevalence.

“UPDATE: Part of the filament I talk about did erupt after I posted this video! We could have a part-Earth directed solar storm coming by the end of this week!
Check my twitter feed for the latest on arrival time! Original Video Description: This week we are coming down from a solar storm from some fast solar wind, but that doesn’t mean the fun is over! We have two fast-growing sunspots on the Earth-facing Sun and they are sandwiching a filament that is growing more unstable by the day. If this filament erupts within the next day or so, we could have an Earth-directed solar storm!
We are keeping a close watch on this to be sure. Also, one of the new sunspots may be showing signs of an influence of solar cycle 25. Just like the previous rogue sunspot we saw a few weeks ago, this new region has a dominant magnetic signature that runs north-south instead of east-west. Its too early to tell what the final polarity of this region will be, but if it continues this way, it will be yet another signal that solar cycle 25 is closer than we think! Learn the details of this filament sandwich, get the scoop on the two new sunspots that may cause its launch, and see what else our Sun has in store for us this week!”

Dr. Mahdi Shahbhakti
Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering-Engineering Mechanics
The US Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) requires the vehicle corporate
average fuel economy to be increased by 53% (from 15.1 to
23.2 km/l) for light duty vehicles from 2016 to 2025. In
addition, the new US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
emission standards (Tier III and LEV III) regulate that
emissions of Nitrogen Oxides and Non- Methane Organic Gas
(NOx+NMOG) reduces from current 99.2 mg/km to 18.6 mg/km in
2025 on fleet average for light duty vehicles. Thus, there is
now a high demand for engine technologies with low fuel
consumption and low NOx emissions.
research is centered on developing advanced fuel-efficient
combustion engines that promise a significant reduction in
low NOx and particulate matters (PM) and greenhouse gas
emissions. Low temperature combustion (LTC) engines are an
emerging technology that combines characteristics of
spark-ignited and diesel engines. Similar to spark-ignited
engines the fuel-air charge is mostly premixed in LTC, and
similar to diesel engines the mixture is ignited through
compression ignition. These characteristics, combined with the
use of lean mixtures allow LTC to achieve high efficiency and
NOx emissions and PM.
A dual-fuel reactivity controlled compression ignition (RCCI) concept is beneficial to other modes of LTC engines such as Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) or Premixed Charge Compression Ignition (PCCI) due to the existence of precise means for controlling the heat release rate and combustion phasing. In the RCCI strategy two fuels with different reactivity (auto-ignition characteristics) are blended inside the combustion chamber. Combustion phasing is controlled by the relative ratios of these two fuels and the combustion duration is controlled by spatial stratification between the two fuels. Our project is centered on developing an optimized RCCI engine combustion. Proper operation of RCCI engines requires an in-depth understanding of the interactions between fluid flows, turbulent mixing and chemical kinetics. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models need to be developed to provide the required understanding. The CFD models are used to investigate the performance and emission characteristics of RCCI engines. Furthermore the CFD models are used to consider the effects of different fuels with different reactivity for a given operating condition. Dr. Shahbhakti and his group's study primarily focuses on development and analysis of advanced combustion models of RCCI engines understanding of the key processes controlling RCCI engine combustion.
This research is done as part of Michigan Tech’s Advanced Power Systems Research Center (APSRC), and Dr. Shahbhakti and Dr. Jeffrey Naber are the principal investigators. The RCCI research study has been done in collaborative efforts with University of Wisconsin-Madison Engine Research Center (ERC), thus advanced methods of RCCI controls can be developed.
