Interview with S.K. Jain, Chairman and Managing Director, NPCIL.
S.K. Jain, Chairman and Managing Director, Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL), is proud that the Union government has made a budget outlay of Rs.1,700 crores to the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Project (KKNPP) for the financial year 2003-04. This means an additional Rs.600 crores to the original outlay of Rs.1,100 crores. "This is a big indication of how fast the work is going on at Kudankulam," said Jain. The first unit is six months ahead of schedule in construction activities. Construction of the second unit is also racing ahead of schedule.
Jain, 55, took over as the CMD of NPCIL on January 3 from V.K. Chaturvedi, who was instrumental in starting the simultaneous construction of nine nuclear reactors in different parts of the country. NPCIL is a public sector enterprise of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) and is responsible for setting up nuclear electricity stations. NPCIL at present operates 14 nuclear reactors in the country, which together generate 2,770 MWe. These reactors worked at 90 per cent capacity in 2003-04. NPCIL plans to add about 4,000 MWe to the national grid by 2008.
Before taking over as the CMD of NPCIL, Jain was its Senior Executive Director (Light Water Reactors) and was responsible for the construction of the two Russian reactors at Kudankulam. Excerpts from an interview he gave T.S. Subramanian on March 30:
You had said, in an interview to Frontline in January, that the Kudankulam project is close to your heart. How do you assess the work going on there?
The work at Kudankulam is progressing fast. The Government of India had made a budget outlay of Rs.1,100 crores for the Kudankulam project for the financial year 2003-04. I have just received the news that the government has allotted Rs.1,700 crores for the project for 2003-04 - this is 50 per cent more than the budget outlay. At the beginning of every financial year, we prepare a budget (for each nuclear power project under construction), and it is approved by the Government of India. If the project goes fast and uses up the allotted funds, the Government of India allots more money. At the mid-way planning review for the Kudankulam project we found that we were progressing fast. So we approached the government to allocate additional funds. We had already spent Rs.1,700 crores. Today is the penultimate day of this financial year. So in 2003-04, as against the budget outlay of Rs.1,100 crores, we have been allocated Rs.1,700 crores. This is a big indication of how fast the work is going on at Kudankulam. The government has sanctioned Rs.1,700 crores because the project is going on really fast.
How much money have you asked for the Kudankulam project for the financial year 2004-05?I am looking for Rs.2,000 crores for 2004-05.Are you confident you will get it?I am confident.
How fast is the work progressing at Kudankulam?
On the construction front, we are moving fast. The amount of concrete used in the project itself is an indication of how fast the work is progressing. In our PHWR (Pressurised Heavy Water Reactor) construction projects, we use about 10,000 cubic metres of concrete in a month. At Kudankulam, we use about 30,000 cubic metres. We want to continue at this speed and would like to do 45,000 cubic metres of concreting a month. This is a phenomenal rate of progress.
On the equipment side, the manufacture of the reactor equipment is going on in the Russian Federation. I am happy to share with you the information that the manufacture of all components for the nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) is nearing completion. All the components of the NSSS will be ready by October.
As far as the turbine is concerned, it has been assembled on the test bed and rolled with steam. This is the Russian practice. They assemble the turbine on the test stand, roll it with steam and check whether it meets all requirements (such as vibration, bearing temperature and the alignment of the shaft). We do it in a different way in India. We don't roll the turbine. It was test-rolled in the Russian Federation in the first week of March. It is being assembled and it will be despatched to Kudankulam. This is a milestone in equipment fabrication. The company that manufactured the turbine is Leningradsky Metallichesky Zavod. It is in St. Petersburg.
The condenser and other equipment are in an advanced stage of fabrication. We are prepared to receive all the equipment at Kudankulam. The core-catcher has already arrived and it has been erected in the reactor building of the first unit. It was a thrilling moment for us.
The Kudankulam project is a landmark agreement between India and Russia. For the Russian Federation, the schedule is to be completed in 67 months, that is, in five years and seven months. But we are making all serious efforts to see that the first unit reaches criticality in five years (from the first pour of the concrete, that is, in March 2007). So far, things are moving towards the target. The project team at Kudankulam is highly motivated.
Our civil contractors are facing a difficult time because of a phenomenal increase in the price of steel. In the last one year, steel price has gone up by 40 per cent. Owing to increased industrial activity, the availability of skilled manpower has become difficult. Cement prices have gone up. Our contractors such as Hindustan Construction Company, Larsen and Toubro, and Simplex Concrete Piles (India) are doing a good job against all odds. We are seeing whether we can compensate them.
The Environmental Survey Laboratory (ESL) was inaugurated at the Kudankulam township on February 29, 2004, by Anil Kakodkar, Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission. I was present on the occasion. The ESL at Kudankulam has started doing its work three years before the first unit is to reach criticality. They are doing an extensive study of the flora, flauna, soil, water and so on over a 30-km radius around the Kudankulam plant for radioactivity content.
When will the 4th unit (540 MWe) at Tarapur start generating electricity?
We have reached the milestone of commissioning the water systems for condenser cooling, reactor auxiliary cooling and balance of plant systems. The entire electrical system in the control room has been commissioned and is operational. Integrity tests of the primary heat transport equipment are going on to see that the design requirements are met. We had planned to do the hydro-testing of the primary heat transport circuit in the third or fourth week of April. We shall do it in the first week itself. This is a clear signal for hot-commissioning of the equipment. This will give us the real feel for going ahead with criticality.
The fourth unit at Tarapur, which will generate 540 MWe, will reach criticality in September or October. (The third unit, also of 540 MWe capacity, will be commissioned later).
Have you decided on the location for 700 MWe reactors? The site selection committee has finalised its report.
We are clear that the 700 MWe indigenous PHWRs will come up only on the inland sites. The 1,000 MWe units will come up on coastal sites. The 500 MWe indigenous breeder reactors will come up mostly on the inland sites. We want to maximise the potential of the existing sites. They (the existing sites) have enough space to accommodate units with a total installation capacity of 15,000 Mwe.

Latest evidence from MBRRACE-UK's annual investigation into stillbirths and neonatal deaths has found deeply concerning increases across the UK, as well as stark and widening inequalities linked to deprivation and ethnicity.
The latest MBRRACE-UK Perinatal Mortality Surveillance report, which looks at stillbirth and neonatal death rates in the UK between January and December 2021, has found significant increases across the UK after 7 years of year-on-year reduction.
The report also highlights alarming trends of both sustained and growing inequalities in perinatal mortality rates. The investigation found increased rates of both stillbirth and neonatal deaths in the most deprived areas of the country; a widening gap in stillbirth rates between the most deprived areas and least deprived areas of the country; and a significant rise in stillbirths among babies of Black ethnicity, which increased at a higher rate than for babies of Asian and White ethnicity.
Birth Companions is deeply concerned to see this new evidence of stark and widening inequalities. After several years of overall reductions in perinatal mortality rates, these findings raise serious questions about perinatal health and care in this country, and highlight the need for urgent attention, at every level, to the social determinants of health and the complex intersections of deprivation and ethnicity.

July 5, 2011 > Bill to improve gas pipeline safety advances in Assembly
Bill to improve gas pipeline safety advances in Assembly
Submitted By Andrew LaMar
Legislation by Senate Majority Leader Ellen Corbett (D-San Leandro) to improve emergency response to gas pipeline problems and help avoid disasters similar to the devastating gas explosion in San Bruno in September 2010 cleared the Assembly Utilities and Commerce Committee on June 27, 2011.
Senate Bill 44 directs the California Public Utilities Commission, in consultation with the Office of Emergency Services, the State Fire Marshal and the California Fire Chiefs Association, to adopt stricter emergency response standards for natural gas operators. By improving communication and coordination, the bill helps minimize loss of life and damage to property caused by gas pipeline emergencies.
"We've learned a lot since the San Bruno disaster about how to better manage gas pipelines and respond to trouble," Corbett said. "We know it's critical for California's first responders to have all the tools and coordination they need to respond quickly, if and when something goes wrong with a gas pipeline. SB 44 raises first-response standards for natural gas operators so first responders can be as effective as possible."
Many of the East Bay's gas pipelines run along the Hayward fault and are vulnerable to rupture in an earthquake.
Among other things, SB 44 mandates that natural gas operators utilize emergency shutdown and pressure reduction whenever necessary; maintain contact with fire, police and other relevant officials; provide maps to fire officials of where pipelines are located.
The bill, which has already passed the Senate, moves next to the Assembly Appropriations Committee. Sen. Corbett is chairwoman of the Senate Select Committee on Earthquake and Disaster Preparedness, Response and Recovery.

- Excellent images, video
- Very good at high ISO
- Manual controls
- Costs as much as a DSLR
- Slow AF acquisition
- Only 77% VF coverage
Quick TakeThe Canon G1 X goes boldly where no PowerShot has gone before. It delivers top-notch images with a big 1.5-inch sensor, but the viewfinder and AF acquisition leave something to be desired.
Announced at CES 2012 as the new flagship of Canon’s Powershot lineup, the G1 X was “scheduled” to be available in February, but that timeframe has now slipped a bit. For folks anxiously awaiting its arrival, the first week of March now looks like the best possible scenario.
A major cause of the anticipation generated for this new camera is sensor-based – the G1 X carries the largest physically-sized sensor to date in any Powershot digital, a 1.5-inch model sized much closer to a Canon DSLR than its G-series relative, the G12. The 1/1.7-inch sensor in the G12 is one of the largest in all of the compact digital ranks and measures 7.6 x 5.7mm; the G1 X sensor measures 18.7 x 14mm and the APS-C sensor of the Canon 60D 22.3 x 14.9mm.
To put things in perspective, the G1 X sensor has approximately 6.3 times the surface area as that of the G12. In addition, Canon’s UK press release notes that the pixel size and structure of the G1 X sensor is the same as the 60D. Resolution is 14.3 megapixels and the sensor design is CMOS, which suggests that high ISO noise performance should reach new levels, at least for a Powershot digital. The native ISO range for the camera is 100 to 12800 ISO.
The camera features a 4x stabilized zoom lens covering the 28 to 112mm focal range in 35mm equivalents and the standard compact digital automatic and scene shooting modes are accompanied by full manual controls. Here’s a look at that focal range.
Video capability is 1080 HD with stereo sound and there is a built-in pop-up flash with an electronic viewfinder that accompanies the 3.0-inch LCD monitor, which is articulable. Canon’s latest generation DIGIC 5 processor is on board and the camera can record still images in JPEG, RAW, or RAW – JPEG combinations. SD/SDHC/SDXC memory media is compatible; the camera will also accept Eye-Fi memory cards, but Canon will not guarantee the camera will support Eye-Fi functions including wireless transfer.
While Canon’s UK press release describes the camera as “Created for professional and serious photographers…” the company has clearly hedged its bets by including a host of point-and-shoot features targeting a more novice-based audience: face detection autofocus, face select autofocus, automatic smile detection shooting, a wink self-timer, a face self-timer and blink detection. Canon includes a battery pack and charger, USB interface cable, lens cap, neck strap, CD-ROM software and basic printed user’s manual with each camera (a CD-ROM with the complete manual is also included). MSRP on the camera is $800 – higher than two Rebel DSLRs in Canon’s own fleet.
The G1 X measures about 4.6 x 3.17 x 2.55-inches and weighs in at a little over 17 ounces without a battery or memory card, so it won’t be doing much traveling on shooting assignments in a shirt pocket. On the other hand, there’s that big sensor to consider along with the fact the G1 X comes in smaller and lighter than the tiniest Canon DSLR. Mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras have gotten their share of attention lately and with the exception of Canon, all of the major camera players have such models in their lineups now. Perhaps this big sensor Powershot is Canon’s answer to the absence of such a “bridge” camera in the lineup, at least for now.
Build and Design
At a quick glance, one would be forgiven for mistaking the G1 X for a G12 – there is a strong family resemblance between these relatively large and boxy rectangular compacts. To be sure, the G1 X is a bit larger dimensionally, but it retains a prominent handgrip, protruding lens, viewfinder window, front dial and bi-level camera top with the zoom lever/shutter button and mode dial/exposure compensation dials occupying the lower level. The camera body is metal and finished in matte black paint. Built in Japan, the G1 X seems well put together.
Ergonomics and Controls
When I reviewed the G12 for this website, I found the ergonomics generally pretty good. The G1 X has improved upon the feel of the G12. Notably, the handgrip area on the front of the camera body now features a checkered texture to its rubberized material that promotes an even more secure feel – the thumb rest on the camera back is made of the same material.
The tip of my shooting finger falls naturally to the shutter button and the pad of my thumb to the thumb rest; while the base of the thumb overlies some camera controls, inadvertent activations were no problem. One criticism I had of the G12 was the placement of the camera flash window on the front of the body, making it a candidate to be obscured by fingers of the left hand during two-handed shooting. The pop-up flash on the G1 X pretty much eliminates that concern.
Besides the front dial, viewfinder window and lens there is also a focus assist lamp on the front of the camera – and a possibility for it to be obscured if you let the middle finger of the right hand ride up on the camera during shooting. A consistent, proper grip eliminates this concern.
The right half of the camera top features an on/off button, shutter button/zoom lever, and shooting mode/exposure compensation dials. The slightly raised left half houses a hot shoe, the pop-up flash and a manual deployment button for the flash.
The camera back, as might be expected, is taken up largely by the 3.0-inch monitor; arrayed across the top of the back are a shortcut/direct print button, the electronic viewfinder with its diopter adjustment dial and focus indicator lights, playback button, the thumb rest and a movie button.
Arrayed vertically down the right rear of the camera body are an AF frame selector/single image erase button, AE lock/jump button, menu and metering buttons along with a round control dial incorporating ISO, macro, flash, display, and function set buttons. The ISO, macro, flash and display buttons double as up, left, right, and down toggles, respectively.
Menus and Modes
Internal menus in the G1 X are fairly simple and intuitive. Pushing the menu button brings up access to shooting, setup and “my menu”options. As you might expect, automatic shooting modes offer fewer user inputs than the manual modes. For example the shooting menu in auto offers 14 menu options; in manual controls that number jumped to 24. If you have a captured image displayed on the screen in playback mode, hitting the menu button brings up playback, print setting, and camera setting menus. But there are other menus available that are accessed in a different fashion.
In auto mode, hitting the function set button brings up access to the self-timer, still image aspect ratio, image size/quality and video quality settings; in manual modes the function set button provides access to white balance, my colors palette, dynamic range correction, bracketing, self-timer, flash compensation, a neutral density filter, still image aspect ratio, JPEG or RAW still image format, still image size and quality and video quality.
Canon USA touts the G1 X for “…photography enthusiasts looking for the highest image quality in a compact, point-and-shoot design.” They must be expecting potential customers to all be experienced photographers because the basic “Getting Started” printed manual that comes with the camera consists of little more than information on how to set the date and time, shoot still images or movies, view and erase them. The complete manual found on the CD-ROM is much better, of course, but it runs some 240 pages which gives you an idea of the complexity and features which can be found on the G1 X.
A print version of the complete manual sized about the same as the ‘getting started’ manual would be a valuable tool for folks new to the camera to take into the field – and with an $800 MSRP, Canon should be providing one.
Shooting modes are what you would expect from a camera which is still targeting a mixed market segment in terms of potential users.
- Auto: Fully automatic mode with the camera handling virtually all settings, including white balance, ISO, shutter speed and aperture. The user has a limited variety of inputs restricted primarily to use of the self-timer, still image aspect ratio, still and video image quality.
- Scene: Fully automatic mode with the camera handling virtually all settings; user can select from one of 14 scene specific shooting options and may have some limited additional inputs available depending on the specific scene.
- Image effects: Also known as creative filters, these are automatic modes with the camera handling virtually all settings while the user picks from 10 specific effects including HDR, nostalgic, fisheye effect, miniature effect, toy camera effect, monochrome, super vivid, poster effect, color accent and color swap.
- Custom 1/Custom 2: Allows users to save specific shooting configurations in P, AV, TV or M shooting modes for quick recall – user has a wide variety of settings associated with those modes.
- Program auto: Camera sets shutter speed and aperture, user has a wide variety of settings including white balance, my colors, bracketing, single or continuous shooting modes, self- timer, flash exposure compensation, a neutral density filter, still image aspect ratio, JPEG or RAW image formats, still image size and movie resolution.
- Shutter priority: User sets shutter speed, camera sets aperture and user has wide variety of inputs.
- Aperture priority: User sets aperture, camera sets shutter speed and user has wide variety of inputs.
- Manual: User sets aperture and shutter speed and has wide variety of inputs.
- Movie: Capture video in full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution; HD 1280 x 720 or standard definition 640 x 480 resolutions with stereo sound. Maximum clip length is 4GB or 29 minutes.
The 3.0-inch LCD monitor on the G1 X has a 922,000 dot composition and offers approximately 100% image coverage. The monitor can swing horizontally through approximately 180° of travel and rotate through approximately 270° along its long axis. In our studio, measurements the monitor recorded a 569 nit peak brightness level and a 685:1 contrast ratio – both figures are above the 500 nit/500:1 levels that tend to be the threshold for better performing monitors in outdoor lighting conditions. In practice, the monitor could be difficult to use in some bright conditions, but the ability to articulate through a range of motion is a definite advantage to help overcome these situations. The monitor is adjustable for five levels of brightness.
Fortunately, the G1 X is equipped with an electronic viewfinder that can be a major asset when shooting outdoors – dot composition for the viewfinder is not specified, but it is equipped with a diopter adjustment to assist with varying levels of eyesight acuity. Unfortunately, area of coverage for the viewfinder is approximately 77% – not particularly accurate for image composition when precise framing is needed.
Here are two shots taken with image composition based on the monitor and viewfinder images, respectively. In each case, the picture and frame were composed so that they just filled the screen before capture. The image captured using the monitor for composition is an extremely close approximation of that display; the image taken using the viewfinder has a broad expanse of space about the picture and frame that did not appear on that screen.


You have found the perfect land to build your dream log home in a secluded valley next to a trout stream. You’re daydreaming about having coffee on the porch in the mornings and getting cozy in front of the fire in the evenings. But how do you get from here to there? What are the next steps?
Now is the time to do some investigating to ensure the lot is suitable to build on in terms of the slope, soil conditions, accessibility, and zoning to name a few issues. Some lots are never acceptable to build on but that may not be obvious unless further investigation is done.
Some physical features of the land can cost a lot to fix before becoming an idyllic building site. The land you have fallen in love with may end up costing you six figures if local building codes require a bridge to be built across that trout stream to accommodate first responder vehicles if there is an emergency.
An important consideration is how to get utilities to the parcel and how much expense is involved to do so, especially if the land is in a remote location. You need to learn how much power is necessary for your house and how to take care of water and waste, since these items can bust your budget.
Before you sign on the dotted line you should get information about:
- Water—accessibility from either the local municipality or from a well (depth necessary to drill to obtain water)
- Waste management—either septic or sewer (and percolation tests necessary to determine how easily land will accept waste water from a septic tank)
- Power—from the utility provider (and any additional fees to bring in utility lines)
- Gas—from the utility company or from a propane tank
- Phone and internet services
Some areas of the country such as the Rocky Mountain regions have expansive soils that can create major problems for a home’s foundation system, causing basements to buckle and major structural failure. Other areas of the country along the East Coast may bring problems with limestone deposits which over time can be eroded by water which leaves a cavern or sinkhole. A qualified engineer can help you decide if your site has any potential problems or issues with limestone deposits.
You should consider whether your building site is near a flood plain or wetlands which may result in building restrictions. Also, road access may be a surprisingly complex issue to deal with, especially if the parcel is landlocked and needs a private road to be built for access through a neighbor’s land.
Take the time to make sure the land parcel is the best location to build your new log home. Gastineau Log Homes has over 40 years of experience helping people realize their dream of building a log home. Contact us today and let’s explore your affordable log home dream together.

New Delhi: India’s HPT-32 indigenous basic trainer claimed the lives of 23 rookie pilots, forcing the Indian Air Force (IAF) to ground it for good in 2009.
This was stated by the IAF chief, Air Chief Marshal Norman Anil Kumar Browne, here Monday at the annual press conference ahead of the Air Force Day on October 8, when he also noted that the IAF was replacing the HPT-32s with the Pilatus PC-7 for training its new pilot recruits in flying.
“Training is an area of concern for IAF. The focus is entirely on training now. If not, it becomes a matter of safety of pilots,” Browne said, noting that “HPT-32 basic trainer had 108 engine cuts and 23 pilot fatalities”
“So, in 2009, we grounded the HPT-32s,” he said, pointing out that the confidence levels of pilots to fly the aircraft had gone down.
Browne said that the IAF had shortlisted the Pilatus aircraft as its choice for an order for 75 basic trainers and the approval of the finance ministry was awaited in this regard.
“This contract may be signed by the end of October,” he added.
The HJT-16 Kirans, Browne said, too were old aircraft, but the IAF wanted to use the plane for some more years. However, the next batch of newly recruited pilots will be flying the British-origin Hawk advanced jet trainers.
“Insha Allah, we should get the Pilatus by July 2013,” he said, adding that the IAF has changed its training syllabus to suit the new trainer aircraft fleet.
The IAF chief also said that the force had successfully brought down the officer shortage from 1,400 vacancies in 2007 to 541 vacancies in 2011 through a series of recruitment drives. “We expect to even out the shortages by 2014-15,” he added.
On the reported declining combat levels of the IAF, Browne clarified that it would stand at 32 fighter squadrons from now till the induction of the Medium Multi Role Combat aircraft (MMRCA) by 2015-16.
“Then we will look up at a different type of capability of the IAF altogether,” he said, pegging the total number of squadrons at 42 by 2022.
He also noted that the IAF will augment its helicopter fleet with the delivery of the first four of the 80 Mi-17V5 helicopters that it ordered from Russia in 2008.
Browne said the IAF would get 12 Mi-17V5 to form a squadron in Bhatinda by end of October and the squadron will later move to Suratgarh.
It will get another 21 by December this year and another 26 of the Mi-17V5 by March next year when another squadron would be based in Srinagar to serve the troops headed for the Siachen glacier.

“Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: ‘The accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.'” (Revelation 12:10b, NIV2)
It’s no fun to be accused, especially when you haven’t done anything wrong. On the other hand, when we are accused for something we truly did, isn’t that even more embarrassing? We may try to wiggle our way out, but if guilty, no explanation can justify the crime.
Such accusations make us feel like we have completely lost our balance, just like that flying umbrella we encountered in De Panne, Belgium in August 2011. It, too, had lost its balance! There had been a lot of wind that day. Let’s not forget that the North Sea is called “North” for a reason! The coast of Belgium seems to be constantly under windy conditions, no matter what time of year. It’s a great place to fly a kite, unless the string breaks, that is!
Back to the flying umbrella, it appeared to be taking a tumbling stroll on the sands of De Panne, and it seemed to avoid, as if at all costs, a dip in the cold North Sea. At least it knew its priorities! The sad thing was, it was all by itself. No one else even noticed that it was tumbling away, head over hills. Or should I say pole over cloth! It was heading straight for an unknown and unpleasant destination. Had the umbrella been falsely accused? Was that the reason behind its trek?
I may be a bearer of bad news, but we have someone who specializes in accusing us. Especially followers of the Most High! And he doesn’t do this just occasionally. He does it 24/7! “The accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.” (Revelation 12:10b, NIV2)
Naturally we all know who this accuser is: the evil one!
What is he accusing us of?
Anything and everything that we are doing wrong. After all, we, too, have been misplaced by the powerful wind named sin. At times, he is very persuasive that we are the very scum of the earth.
Even though many of his accusations are accurate, we have an advocate that stand up for us, and unlike that wandering umbrella, he can make him stop! “My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father-Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.” (1 John 2:1-2, NIV2)
You may be the scum of the world, but not so in Jesus’ eyes! After all, it cost Him His very life to justify us completely from any wrongdoing! “They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony…” (Revelation 12:11a, NIV2)
Even though some of these accusations are quite accurate, we don’t have to stand there embarrassed and completely demoralized. Jesus paid the price for our crimes! We have been forgiven by the Most High Himself! “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.” (Hebrews 8:12, NIV2)
“But we are faulty! We have indeed done many wrongs during our lifetime! We are far from perfect!” Maybe in your eyes, but not according to God, who sees us as perfect, as long as we have accepted the services of our Most High Advocate. “For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.” (Hebrews 10:14, NIV2)
We truly have nothing to fear by these constant accusations. We are perfect in our Father’s eyes, thanks to the sacrifice that Jesus made on our behalf! This is why we are encouraged to: “. . . hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” (Hebrews 10:23, NIV2)
It’s sadly funny that our accuser is the very one who tempted us to do the wicked things in the first place. The instigator is also the accuser! Meanwhile, the One who truthfully has a right to accuse us is the One who willingly sacrificed Himself on the cross on our behalf, in order that we could be freed from any of such accusations.
There is thus, “now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus . . .” (Romans 8:1, NIV2)
You can stop feeling like that tumbling umbrella. The wind has died down completely. We are free to stand firm on both of our feet now!
Thank you Jesus!

In addition to the basic configuration, you can “assemble” your luminaire: select the necessary components and options.
patch ceiling mount with track element
paint the luminaires in any color RAL
dimmable brightness from 0 to 100%
light filters of any colors and shades
faceted reflectors with different angles
automatic lighting control system by busline
Track LED luminaires e-Track are used in malls, retail stores, clothing stores, restaurants and designer interiors. They are installed on a suspended single or three-phase busbar, as well as on an overhead platform with a built-in track section directly on the ceiling (busbars and overhead platform are purchased separately). We are the only practical in Belarus we produce track lights of various power up to 60 W and color rendering index (CRI) up to 100 Ra.
The casings of our e-Track luminaires are standardly white, gray and black, and can be painted in any color from the RAL gallery. Faceted reflectors are available with different light scattering angles of 12°, 24°, 36° for precise selection of the light beam. You can choose LEDs of various color temperatures with special shades for meat, fish, cheese, bread, fruits, vegetables and alcohol, as well as optionally order light filters of any colors and shades to solve any of your tasks.
The housing of the luminaire can be directed to either side thanks to a pivoting fixture that provides 360° rotation in any direction
Panasonic LED Chip-on-Board (COB) with ceramic substrate for improved heat dissipation provides high light output and color rendition up to 100Ra
Reflectors with different angles
The choice is made of aluminum polished reflectors with different angles from 12° to 60°, and tempered glass of high purity will provide high light output
Driver in the cooling compartment
The driver is placed in a separate compartment of the casing with additional cooling, which allows not to overheat the driver with heat from the LED and this saves its life
Adapter for 3 phase track
The luminaire is equipped with an adapter for a three-phase track, which allows you to connect to one busbar more luminaires – 2 kW per track
The components for our ledz track lights are made by the German concern Vossloh-Schwabe, so they have exceptional quality and reliability, and the result of the illumination of your object will always be excellent. The thermal padding under the Nichia LEDs provides good heat dissipation, and the all-aluminum die-cast housing reliably cools these COB LEDs and saves its service life. Optionally, we can install the driver version with the possibility of dimming from 0 to 100%.
This will be controlled by additional track tires (in addition, a six-pole version of the busline must be ordered). In addition, you can order a fully automated lighting control system, where online you will see the brightness level of each luminaire and check its serviceability. Our engineers will operatively calculate the full specification for your object, which will contain luminaires, tracks, inputs, connecting and corner sections, suspensions and other elements.


Films made by Ram Gopal Varma usually do not have much of songs but this time in Akkineni Nagarjuna starrer Officer, the filmmaker has opted for it. The makers have now released a song titled Navve Nuvve from Officer which is an emotional number between a father and a daughter. Describing the web of responsibilities, a father is entangled in, the song shows the emotional journey a police officer goes through because of the risky life he leads as a risk taking officer. Sung by Ramya Behara, the song is composed by Ravi Shankar and the lyrics are penned down by Sira Sri. Although not a very song, Navve Nuvve from Officer will definitely have an impact in the narrative of Officer. Listen to the song Navve Nuvve from Officer here:
Akkineni Nagarjuna and Ram Gopal Varma will be teaming up after ages which has created an excitement amongst fans. Officer is slated to be released on June 1st, 2018. The makers had released couple of teasers of Officer which has kept fans eagerly waiting for the release. Ram Gopal Varma revealed that the character played by Nagarjuna is loosely based on a real life cop KM Prasanna who is currently serving in Mumbai. KM Prasanna is from Karnataka and was recruited in the SIT for a special case, revealed Ram Gopal Varma.
Officer also stars Myra Sareen in other lead role and will mark her debut in acting and Tollywood. Although the teaser has raised the expectations on the film, the visuals in it only reveals that the film will be a trademark RGV style narration to it and nothing new in it. But one can expect the story to be unique since Nagarjuna would be playing a cop and the central character. Officer is being produced by Ram Gopal Varma himself under the banner RGV Factory jointly with Sudheer Chandra. Nag and RGV are teaming up after almost three decades and this has created huge excitement around the film.

(The Center Square) — The two sides in the ongoing gun debate in Georgia are largely following a playbook that sees pro- and anti-gun policymakers pushing similar legislation across the country.
Democrats nationwide have renewed their push for stricter gun laws in the wake of shootings in Atlanta and Kansas City.
“Gun violence is a grim, uniquely American epidemic,” Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee Communications Director Abhi Rahman said in a statement. “…We cannot allow these senseless massacres to continue – state legislatures are where important gun legislation is being debated and policy is being decided.
“Unfortunately, state Republicans across the country have shown how ill-equipped and unwilling they are to take common-sense, life-saving action,” Rahman added. “…We can build a safer tomorrow through our state legislatures.”
In Georgia, as is the case in many states, the pro-gun side and the anti-gun movements both have their playbooks they follow, Kirk Evans, president of

Hi Greg and welcome to the forum.There seems to be quite a difference in prices being quoted by dealers with a gap of over one hundred pounds.
As Bronze has stated, he has been quoted £209 by Martin Rumble in Nuneaton which is the same dealer that I use. It pays to shop around.
service done and all ok with no probs , had the dpf system checked and thats working fine , just a note i had a clarion system fitted when i picked up vehicle and its been great apart from the fact you cant use it unless ignition is fully on which i found rather annoying and ask the dealer to to look into it. Any way the people who actually fitted it rang me to ask if i could take the car to them monday morning and they will look at it while i wait. its all to do with this canbus system thingy and said they should be able to sort it.
i will let u know how that works out.

Tonight’s showcase is the 10th anniversary of Fabio Della Torre’s maverick label Bosconi Records. To date, Bosconi has released over seventy records, in 2013 they had the distinction of being awarded Resident Advisor’s ‘Label of the Month’ and Fabio is certainly no stranger in our home. Where do you start with A Guy Called Gerald? A hidden gem, the gateway between Chicago house / Detroit Techno and the UK dance music explosion in the late 80s. He is one of a few special producers who entered dance music in the jacking zone. He is the first UK acid house producer and probably the first producer to have two instrumental dance tracks in the UK charts at the same. A legend from Manchester’s Hacienda, A Guy Called Gerald formed 808 State with a drum machine, a 303, 2 Roland SH101s and 2 other humans. His collaborations stem from Frankie Knuckles, Goldie, Finley Quaye and Derrick May through to Herbie Hancock, remixed for David Bowie, Lamb, Stone Roses, Black Uhuru, Can, Tricky, Roman Fluegel and The Orb and toured with New Order, Tricky and Bebel Gilberto. His accomplishments would take pages to cover – it is simply better to witness him on the decks personally. We welcome a giant of the genre in our home tonight!! Lee Renacre is 100hz, originally a trio formed in 1989, whose sound developed into the funkier side of House and Techno with twinges of sinister vocals and odd beat patterns, they were regarded as the pioneers of the new musical style that was to create an entirely new genre of dance music. Records were released through Lee’s own label called Format records and the group performed in many underground venues and festivals such as Sonar. 100hz is currently working on abstract new material and remixing some of their deeper older tracks with new music programs. A new wave of music started Feb 2017 with the launch of Lee Renacre’s new record label called Modugroove. Fabio Della Torre aka Corcos is an Italian DJ/producer from Florence as well as the founder of Bosconi Records. A leading figure in Italy’s electronic music scene, Della Torre is the brains behind Bosconi, one of his country’s most esteemed house music imprints. Alongside Ennio Colaci, Della Torre also produces as one half of production duo, Minimono, themselves veritable purveyors of discerning electronic music. As likely to spin deep house as he is minimal techno or more up-tempo funk numbers, Fabio Della Torre’s passion and unpredictable nature is a hallmark of his extensive DJ style. Rufus is to date one of the most forward-thinking and innovative DJs to emerge from the Italian electronic music scene. His restless research into both old school and the freshest forms of dance music have inspired many Italian artists gravitating around the Bosconi Records circuit and the Florence scene. Rufus’s DJ sets focus on open-minded positive music, funky vibes, downbeat, garage-house deep and jackin house. The Tresor Floor also features a legend of dance culture: SLAM (aka Stuart McMillan & Orde Meikle) instigated Glasgow’s underground House music scene in the late 1980s, going on to be instrumental in the explosion of the UK Techno scene, and their exploits have seen them travel, leaving scorch marks on dance-floors far and wide while taking their uncompromising musical vision around the world. Their monthly clubs in Glasgow, ‘Maximum Pressure’ and ‘Return To Mono’, are ranked amongst the best nights out on the planet, while their Riverside Festival, now in its 7th year is the biggest underground electronic music event in Scotland. 2019 will be a big one in Slam’s career. With their Soma label now beyond 600 releases on it’s epic journey, Slam remain firmly committed to the future of the Techno scene in the global arena and in their home city. It’s been awhile since we’ve welcomed the duo in our home so don’t miss this opportunity. Pär Grindvik has been a central figure in the Swedish electronic scene since the 90s as record store owner, label manager and producer.

ASHBURNHAM – Stan Herriott, manager of the Ashburnham Municipal Light Plant, announced he has signed a memorandum of understanding with a private, renewable energy company to build a wind turbine in northern Ashburnham.
The Municipal Light Company’s Board of Commissioners and Solaya Energy, of Woburn, signed an agreement to explore building a wind turbine project on Blood Hill, located off Byfield Road.
“Basically, they’re going to come back to us within 60 days with a plan,” said Herriott on Friday afternoon. “We have to come to terms on how much we are going to pay for the electricity generated from the turbine.”
Solaya Energy, the company responsible for the wind turbine project at Mount Wachusett, plans to build two turbines on Blood Hill. While nothing is set in stone, the wind turbines will be approximately 250 feet high with three 135-foot-long blades that weigh six tons each, said Herriott.
A wind turbine, which looks like a giant pinwheel, converts kinetic energy from wind into mechanical energy, which is then converted into electricity.
Recent analysis from the UMass Amherst Wind Energy Center boded well for a wind project on Blood Hill, noted Herriott. The center used a 165-foot, pole-like metal tower to study the wind speeds on the hill for almost 18 months.
“The tests came out very favorable,” he said. “It’s a very good location for a project like this. … Also, the hill is approximately 2,000 feet from its closest road, so it’s in a very remote location.”
With some initial plans to do the project through the Municipal Light Plant, Herriott noted the advantages of purchasing the electrical output through a private company.
“We won’t have to borrow a whole bunch of money to do the project now, we don’t have to worry about maintaining the wind turbines and we take the liability risk away,” he said. “At the same time, we are still bringing renewable energy into the area.”
Selectmen Chairman Ed Vitone said he’s excited about the project’s potential.
“One of the things this town is blessed with is a lot of hills and a lot of wind,” said Vitone “We thought wind power might be a good business for Ashburnham. … We don’t want these wind turbines to be the first and only, but the first of many.”
Herriott noted the cost to purchase the outgoing electricity from the turbines will be in the upcoming agreement.
“We use about 34 million kilowatts per a year, so this project tied in with our solar panel project will hopefully cut a portion of those kilowatts used,” he said.
The beneficiaries of a $150,000 Energy Efficient and Conservation Block Grant this spring, the town’s Municipal Light Department installed 70 solar panels at both the Oakmont Regional High School and the Public Safety Building this month.
“This is the thing of the future,” Herriott said. “There will be savings with this. However, the more important thing is, we can take and fix our cost of electricity for the next 25 years. Fossil fuels will increase in the future, along with other costs of electricity.”
Moving forward, The Municipal Light Company’s Board of Directors and Solaya Energy will need to come to a price agreement, and the project will still need to go through a site plan review and receive a special permit. The town does have a wind generation bylaw.

The only thing that Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem has going for it is the fact that its title is more true than its predecessor. The first Alien vs. Predator film had more than one alien and more than one predator. This film has multiple aliens, but only one predator. So I guess that whoever came up with the title deserves praise, because he or she actually did his or her job properly, unlike everyone else in this film.
The plot picks up exactly where the first film left off. Somehow, the dead predator that was picked up at the end of that film was impregnated with an alien, and it bursts out of him, matures in seemingly a matter of seconds, and crashes the predator ship back onto Earth. For some reason, this ship was loaded with the parasitic aliens, and one predator notices them before they escape. It presses a few buttons on its suit, and here is where I thought we’d get to see an explosion. That’s what I’ve been told the predators do in order to contain their alien foes, just so that they don’t get to take over Earth. I figured this could be a short movie.
It turns out, that’s not what he was doing, completely going against what we’ve been taught in earlier films featuring the predators. Instead, it calls home to an elder predator (or so I’m guessing) who then departs to Earth. This predator better be pretty strong in order to have a better chance of eliminating the aliens than a massive bomb. But sure, I guess that’s a good enough reason to have the aliens and predators fight once again. Well, with one predator, as the title indicates, because what would be the point in sending more than one predator, despite the fact that aliens are pretty difficult to kill in their own right? I’m not sure. Let’s just go with it and hope for some fun action.
What a letdown they end up being. It’s not so much that the action is bad, although I don’t think I can realistically judge them. See, I haven’t actually gotten the chance to see the action scenes in Requiem. Oh, I watched the movie, and I even willed myself not to fall asleep, but I still didn’t see any action. I watched a lot of pitch black scenes, where I could see that there was a bit of movement, but I couldn’t tell what was going on. And then I turned the brightness to maximum on my television. And I could make out that there was either an alien or predator during these action scenes, and that whichever creature was there was in fact moving. But I still couldn’t tell what they were doing apart from that.
The first Alien vs. Predator wasn’t a great film, as it had poor characters, terrible dialogue and messed up some of the aspects from the previous films in both series. But at least it was fun, and you never had trouble figuring out what was going on. Here, you get a lot of scenes shot at night, in sewers, or in other areas where you can’t tell predator from alien from human. This was done in post-production, or at least, I can imagine so, given the fact that this issue did not plague the trailers.
I mentioned humans in the previous paragraph, and it’s true that there are also a few of them in this film. Their names and purpose aren’t something I can recall, because they’re all just stock characters there so that we can have a human perspective on this giant battle. Oh, and they get to have a love story that fits about as well as a “Predalien” does in this film. Oh wait, such a thing is also included here.
See, when one of those parasites impregnate something, the resulting alien gets features from their host. If you’re born from a dog, you walk on all fours, as an example. So when it was born from a predator, it got characteristics from it. But this mixture breed looks terrible, has odd abilities, and just doesn’t feel like it fits in this story. I mean, you probably can’t have another queen given the story, but the Predalien wasn’t a proper solution, and was actually only included because the studio liked how well it worked in the comic books from this series.
But none of this would matter if you could actually sit back and enjoy the action scenes. for some reason, despite the first Alien vs. Predator film being a financial success, its sequel was given a small budget. I’m thinking that this is the reason that the film is so dark. When you are given a somewhat low budget for something that requires a large number of special effects, they’re not going to look as good as you’d like them to. Make the film really dark, and nobody will notice these lackluster effects. This is my guess anyway, although it makes the film almost unwatchable instead of just laughable. I’d prefer the latter.
Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem is pretty much unwatchable, which makes it hard to know how good it actually is. Since I could hardly make out what was going on for most of the time, it’s difficult to actually know how good its action scenes are. Everything else is superfluous, because this is a popcorn flick about aliens and predators doing battle. But since the action scenes are indiscernible, there isn’t anything to take from this film, and no reason to watch it. And then there are the changes it makes to the existing continuity, or the logic problems that hamper it in addition to the lack of watchable action. It’s just a poorly made film, one you should just forget about.

One of the key to success in life and business is mingling and observing.
To mingle is to relate, associate, communicate and react with individuals, animals, plants and things.
To observe is to pay close attention to details, it goes beyond just looking. It requires kin interest, sober reflection and relatively high rational activities in the brain and emotional reactions. It also involves looking for clues by watching both the big picture and microscopically observing small and simple things.
When you mingle and observe, a key thing happens. Information is transmitted and received. But the problem is not everyone has mastered these two resources.
If you mingle appropriately and observe rightly in your heart, mind and with your sight, you will be amazed at what you will learn and most certainly become with time.
Let a man radically alters what, how, who and where he mingles and observes, he will be astonished at the rapid transformation it will effect on the material condition of his life.
To rightly mingle, you must be rightly positioned. The way you dress, that’s the way you are addressed. Observe the animal kingdom; zebra for zebra, Buffalo for Buffalo🐃, Ape for Ape, Lion for lion🦁. You attract your kind.
Our attitude most definitely affects how we mingle and observe and is directly proportional to the quality of information we receive. Information is the creative power of the universe. It can create or destroy.
A man that is persimistic will never recognise an unprocessed diamond as something of worth.
If you must succeed in business and in life, you must learn to mingle rightly and observe rightly. Once you are always on the look out for degrading information you will get the transmission in full doses and soon be filled with mediocrity.
How can you achieve APEX? When you have downloaded mediocrity into your system by wrongly mingling and inappropriate observations.
Despite the saying; “situation does not make a man but reveals him to himself”. Does not also mean that, man cannot be a product of his environment.
Conclusively, Be watchful with what, who, where and to whom you mingle and for what and how you observe. If you must do away with the things which drags you down the ladder in your life. You must change what you choose to read, watch and listen to. You must discard RUBBISH and replace it with USEFUL and QUALITY stuffs. You must relate with the right gang, you must affiliate with the right brand and participate with the right media.
STOP reading and go to work. Set your priorities right. Then come back and comment.

Plus: Incredibly fast; sharp, clean images; exceptional build quality
Minus: Heavy and bulky; images are soft in corners
Summary: The Sigma 14mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art lens (MSRP: $1599) is the fastest wide-angle lens around and an impressive lens for nightscape photography using full-frame DSLR cameras. However, it’s a heavyweight option in more ways than one.
Who Is It For? Nightscape astrophotographers looking for clearer images of the Milky Way.
It’s brilliant, but it’s heavy. You could say that about a lot of astronomy-related gear, but the Sigma 14mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art lens turns out to be worth its weight.
Sigma’s wide-angle lens is ideal to shoot long exposure night-scape photographs – the classic being panoramics featuring the Milky Way. The whole point for the Sigma 14mm Art’s existence is that it offers an extra f-stop over competing wide-angle lenses.
While most lenses go down to f/2.8, the Sigma 14mm Art lens achieves f/1.8. That’s fast glass. It means you capture as much light in, say, 10 seconds that competing lenses will take 20 seconds to collect. This means the photographer can experiment with much shorter exposures – and so capture sharper stars – and use lower ISOs, which in turn means less noise in the finished images.
Let’s first dwell on exactly how annoying Sigma’s lens is to travel with. At nearly 2.5 pounds in weight, it’s about twice as heavy as other wide-angle lenses. The lens is also saddled with a very bulbous, fisheye-shaped lens that does take a little looking after. It also means that images need to be lens-corrected in Photoshop afterwards (and, yes, there is a little distortion in the corners of images), but for that irritation you get a 114° field of view.
Available for Canon, Nikon, Sigma and Sony (E-mount) DSLR cameras, the lens itself has 16 elements in 11 groups, and a 46-megapixel APS-C X3 direct image sensor. The entire lens has a dust- and splash-proof design, the former of which was handy when I took the lens on a two-week trip around Namibia. Its weight did occasionally feel cumbersome, though I used a Canon-fit version of the lens with a reasonably lightweight full-frame Canon EOS 6D to lessen the combined bulk.
The first thing I noticed when swapping from using a Samyang 14mm f2.8 lens to the Sigma 14mm Art was that the Sigma lens had a sharp ‘infinity’ focus right out of the box. Secondly, I noticed that exposures using the Sigma 14mm Art made the Milky Way and even delicate zodiacal light easily visible on the camera’s LCD screen. However, the talents of the Sigma 14mm Art stretch way beyond making it easier to frame astro-landscapes when out in the field.
While in Namibia I experimented with the Sigma 14mm Art by taking various single exposure photographs of the Milky Way. Our galaxy showed up perfectly well after a 10-second exposure at ISO 3200, and in fact exposures longer than 20 seconds, or while using higher ISOs of 6400 and above, quickly easily created a danger of over-exposing the Milky Way. That’s a new one on me; I even had to start thinking about purposely collecting less light.
Overall the Sigma 14mm Art lens proves an excellent choice for wide-field astrophotography. It’s a heavyweight option, for sure, but it’s also worth its weight in gold for galaxy-hunters.
