Chablis, Burgundy
Organic non-certified

Clotilde Davenne 1 .jpg
Clotilde Davenne Chablis 99.jpg

Meeting Clotilde Davenne and trying all her wines from the Petit Chablis to her best Grand Cru vineyards made things very clear: she knows what she is doing. Clotilde was not from a wine family; her father was a humble farmer near the Morvan mountains. She learned how to make wine at school in 1986 and later travelled to California for vintage. In 1989, Davenne's journey in Chablis started, working for one of the region's star producers: Jean-Marc Brocard. During a incredible 17 years with mentor Brocard, she gained an intimate knowledge of unique terroir and understanding of vintage styles.

Then in 2005, Davenne set off on her own path, starting with the 1.9-hectare plot of Petit Chablis  called “Les Temps Perdu” (which mean the lost time). Despite locals telling her that this land was a waste of time, Davenne knew this vineyard had potential. The vines were lying on Kimmeridgian soils just like AOC Chablis terroir, only called “Petit” because of its exposition to the North.

With growing self confidence, she started putting together a patchwork of vineyard expressing different grapes and terroirs, one plot of land at a time. It now includes a mosaic of beautiful vineyards: Bourgogne AOC, Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru (Vaucoupin, Montmains, Fourchaume, Vaillons) and Chablis Grand Cru (Bougros, Les Clos, Blanchots), as well as 100 year old Sauvignon Blanc from Saint-Bris and Pinot Noir from Irancy.

Her gamble paid off, becoming one of Chablis rising stars thanks to her hard work and the purity of her wines. Clotilde was hugely honoured to be included in Jancis Robinson and Hugh Johnson 's "The World Atlas of Wine" for one of her best vineyards: Montmains 1er Cru Chablis.

Now Davenne's 40 year old Chablis vines are located in the village of Courgis, south of Chablis. The vineyard is sheltered from winds, on a steep slope of Kimmeridgian with soil, peppered with fossilised oysters from when the sea covered the Paris basin150 million years ago. Clotilde farms her vineyard naturally, without the use of chemicals, with almost all of her production is harvested by hand.

You won't find any oak barrel in her cellars however, as Clotilde is a big believer of stainless steel vinification for her Chablis, focusing on purity and terroir expression. All Davenne's wines undergo malolactic fermentation for complexity, with use of the lunar calendar for racking and bottling, then light filtration.

Project BMW M3 Part 9: Turbo Update

At 10 psi, Project M3 made the same power as previously tested at 13 psi on pump gas. This was due to the timing not being pulled back as dramatically as in Part 8 (ec 4/02), letting the motor pull cleanly to redline; 10 psi is the maximum boost I feel comfortable with using 91 octane fuel.

Playing with various boost levels on the dyno allowed me to see what Project M3 could handle with 91 octane and high-octane race fuel. As you might remember in Part 8, 13 psi of boost is a little too much for the motor to handle with 91 octane. The car pulled back timing heavily after 5500 rpm. Since then I had evosport swap out the AA turbo exhaust housing for another AA unit with a slightly larger aspect ratio for better flow. According to Karl Hugh, this would cause the turbo to spool up a little later, but breathe much better. I decided to do a few runs at only 10 psi. I met up with our dyno-man, Dominic Conti, at the Primedia Tech Center for some more tests.

Sure enough, at 10 psi the car didn't pull back so much timing, and it continued to make power all the way through. Not only that, but it made the same power as it did with 13 psi! The only thing we lost, rightfully so, was torque. Of course, that shouldn't be a surprise. The car's torque peaks out before 5500 rpm, and 13 psi (see ec 4/02) will show a substantial difference over 10 psi before it retards at 5500 rpm, hence the torque difference. But I decided 10 psi to be a safe boost level. With California's 91 octane, 355 is about the most horsepower I'll safely get out of Project M3.

Look at how much smoother the lines are with Sunoco GT Plus Unleaded race gas. At 10 psi, there were absolutely no signs of detonation. With this gas the car was allowed to run more boost, which dramatically changed the horsepower, as seen at 12 psi. Keep in mind there are absolutely no smoothing features incorporated into the graphs.

But what happens when we mix race fuel into the equation? What's a weight loss program without the proper intake? I contacted Sunoco Race Fuels in order to try out some of its high-octane fuel. The company's race fuels are known to protect competition and high-compression engines from damage caused by detonation. The advantage with running a higher-octane fuel is its ability to withstand heat and not pre-ignite, which causes detonation or pinging.

Sunoco Fuels offers GT Plus Unleaded fuel, rated at 104 octane by the Antiknock Index (R+M)/2. Research octane and motor octane are rated at 109 and 99, respectively. I acquired some from Downs Commercial Fueling Inc., in Corona, Calif. (visit Sunoco's website for your local distributor). The GT Plus fuel is unleaded, so it won't harm catalytic converters or oxygen sensors as leaded race fuel does, and it's about the highest octane unleaded fuel money can buy. Sunoco states its GT Plus 104 fuel is intended for off-road use only. The GT 100 octane fuel is street legal, however.

At 13 psi we saw a dramatic increase over last month using Sunoco GT Plus Unleaded. With the new exhaust housing from AA, which has an aspect ratio of 14cm2 (compared to 12cm2 for the previous one), the turbo kicks in later but breathes a lot better. In any case, the advantages of Sunoco's race gas are pretty obvious. Notice the smoothness of the curve by comparison to pump gas. After 6000 rpm, the car continued to hold between 40 to 80 more horsepower than with 91 octane! Special thanks to evosport for the exhaust housing swap.

I ran Project M3's tank dry and filled up with a tank full of this blue stuff. The first set of runs was done at 10 psi, and to my amazement I saw what was possibly the smoothest dyno graph I've seen to date. The lines were even smoother than when the car made its baseline runs at 218 hp! And no, the "smooth effect" of the Dynojet was not being used.

Now it was time to see the real advantages of high-octane race gas--being able to withstand higher compression chamber temperatures (i.e., from more boost). At 12 psi, Sunoco's GT Plus Unleaded fuel helped the car make another very smooth pull. We saw over 16 more peak horsepower with gobs more torque.

At 13 psi, the car started to pull back timing, but not nearly as much, and especially not as abruptly as it did when running straight 91 octane (ec 4/02). The fuel's higher octane prevented what would have otherwise been an even larger amount of detonation and gave Project M3 a whopping 37-hp increase over the last run at 13 psi with 91 octane (391.9 vs. 355.7).

It was evident Sunoco's GT Plus Unleaded 104 gas enabled Project M3 to run more boost safely, and make more power. If I don't run this stuff straight, I like to use a few gallons for every tank of gas (more so than octane booster), making it over 93 octane while keeping boost at 10 psi. After all, more than 350 whp is plenty. But with 100-percent 104-octane race fuel, I feel Project M3 is safe to run up to 12 psi.

Dominic and I played around with 14 psi, and Project M3's ECU began to abruptly pull back timing after 5500 rpm--it was too much, even for this high-octane race fuel. So we naturally saw much more torque than horsepower (437 lb-ft and 402 hp). Stay tuned; I may test a cat-less exhaust used for road racing only, and see how high Project M3 will go with much higher octane on its current 3.0 motor--after all, it may soon be getting another bigger, more powerful one.

Author's note: With analog controls on the boost controller, it's next to impossible to get the absolute exact amount of boost during two different runs on two different days if the boost controller was tampered with. For this reason, the 10 psi comparison between pump gas and race fuel was used to only show the difference in smoothness between the two dyno runs, not the gain or loss in peak torque. Only the gains in horsepower at 13 psi were mentioned over the previous month, where the gains were much more pronounced due to apparent detonation with pump gas.

Slippery Situation

Find the free horsepower hiding in the bottom of your engine

Drag cars begin each race with the oil sitting level in the pan. On launch the oil is thrown back and it can run away from the pump pickup. The result is often engine damage in the form of spun bearings or worse.

Racers are a picky bunch. We scrutinize parts and sweat minute details down to the thousandth of an inch. We painstakingly gap spark plugs, set valve lash, and carefully select the brand and weight of oil before pouring it into our powerplants. And why? Because oil is essential to keeping your engine alive, but did you know your oiling system might cause a loss of horsepower? Well, it's true. Like many parts on the car, the oiling system operates at a cost, and the cost is parasitic drag. Parasitic drag can be found wherever something moves or turns, and if you reduce the drag, you'll get free power. The question is how to reduce the drag in your oiling system?

For starters you must learn about oil control. Secondly, you have to identify the area(s) of increased parasitic losses within the oiling system. Thankfully, we've done the homework for you and all you have to do is read on and learn how oil control leads to increased power and extended engine life.

Your Oiling System
I'm sure that most readers know the main purpose of the oiling system. Yes, you're right, it's to lubricate the internal engine components and prevent metal-to-metal contact. Oil is also used to cool and clean certain parts of the engine. The oiling system found in most street and race engines will be a "wet-sump" system, because the oil is contained in the pan. Therefore, the pan remains wet with oil. This type of system uses an oil filter, oil pump, pump driveshaft, pump pickup, and we'll also consider the passageways in the block and heads to be part of the oiling system because they allow for oil return.

The operation is pretty basic: The pan holds the oil (usually 4-7 quarts) and the pickup (which is located about 1/4-inch from the bottom of the pan) is submerged in the oil to feed the pump. Oil is pumped through the filter and then to the crank and rod journals, then to the cam journals, up through the pushrods, and to the rockers. When oil reaches the top of the engine it drains back to the pan and continues to circulate.

Another type of oiling system is a "dry-sump" system. As the name implies, dry-sump systems feature a (mostly) dry pan, because the oil supply is contained in a remote tank. With this deal, oil is scavenged (or sucked) from the bottom of the pan by a crank-driven external pump and the oil is fed into a separate holding tank. The external pump normally has a series of stages, (usually two or three for scavenging and one to feed the engine).

Dry-sump systems have many advantages over wet-sump systems. "Because there is very little oil in the pan, the rotating assembly is not burdened with the weight of excess oil or windage," say Rob DiLella of Moroso. "And since the oil pump is mounted externally, the windage tray or screen, which serves to isolate the oil from the rotating assembly, is allowed to run the full length of the pan," he added. In addition, since there is no internal pump or pickup the pan can be flat on the bottom and this adds ground clearance. Lastly, dry-sumps are deemed safer because no oil is contained in the pan, and should you experience a major engine failure, much less oil will be scattered on the track. In contrast, with most OE-type wet-sump systems the oil pump is mounted in the crankcase and is driven internally by the camshaft, distributor or the crankshaft. It is possible to have an external pump on a wet-sump system, but we'll leave that for another day.

Reducing Drag
Let it be known that some wet-sump, high-volume pumps may sound good on paper, but may not help you win races. Often, these pumps produce upwards of 80-100 psi and, unfortunately, that's more pressure than most engines need. Excessive pressure results in increased parasitic drag because, quite simply, it takes more energy to drive the pump. In reality, it is possible to run the engine with the oil pressure lower than stock and make extra power. Many engine builders feel 25-35 psi (at idle) is sufficient.

Horsepower-robbing parasitic drag can be also found in the crankcase. In most engines, the crankshaft counterweights and connecting rod big ends are positioned halfway in the block and halfway in the oil pan where they can contact the oil. When the engine is running the rotating assembly sweeps through the oil, which results in parasitic drag and windage. (In lay terms, windage is the result of oil splashing on the crankshaft or off the pan walls.) Imagine if you tied a brick to a 6-inch piece of rope and whipped it around like a propeller. You'd be able to whip the brick pretty fast, however, if you forced the brick to pass through a bucket of oil it would encounter drag and be slowed. The oil would also splash around and that can cause aeration. The folks at Milodon agree, "At 8,000 rpm the outer part of the crank is rotating at approximately 300 mph. You know what air resistance is like sticking your hand out of a moving vehicle at 60 mph. Now factor in the extra resistance of oil and consider that the crank is rotating five times as fast." Reducing this resistance equals power and Milodon claims you can gain approximately 3 percent on a typical engine with a racing oil pan and proper oil control. That's about 9-12 horsepower on a 400-horsepower engine.

Thankfully, the aftermarket has found ways to improve performance by modifying stock systems and by creating new parts to control oil. Companies like Canton Products, Billet Fabrication, Milodon, Moroso Performance Products and Stef's Fabrication Specialties have pushed the boundaries and offer improved lubrication for your muscle Mustang or other fast Ford.

"The oiling system is a total system of parts and you have to look at each component if you want to maximize performance," says Joe Stefanacci of Stef's Fabrication Specialties. "Simply using a good pan doesn't guarantee horsepower. The key is to control the oil, so you can properly oil the engine with the minimal drag or losses.

"Production cars use (oil) for cooling and for cleaning to a degree, but that's not a consideration in racing. We want to control the gallons per minute (GPM), or in other words, how much oil goes through the engine over the course of a run. The greater the flow the more oil you have to control and the greater the potential for losses. The more flow, or GPM, the more a good pan will make a difference."

But you can't simply reduce the oil flow. You have to discuss it with your engine builder and modify the whole system. He will likely restrict some of the oil return passages to allow for quicker oil return to the sump, rather than letting it drain back through the lifter valley where it will fall on the crank and cause windage.

If you put two and two together you'll see that lowering the oil level will keep the crank from contacting the oil and that also reduces windage. This can be done by lowering the oil level, or by installing an aftermarket pan with a deep sump and/or side kickouts. Side kickouts in the pan prevent oil that is slung from the crank from bouncing off the walls and slamming back into the crank. Today, all aftermarket pan manufacturers use specially designed internal baffling to keep the oil in the sump during hard acceleration and also during deceleration.

Here at MM&FF World Headquarters we've found horsepower improvements and more reliability in almost all of our project cars by using aftermarket pans. For instance, Superfly, DOHC has a specially modified pan from Kenny Brown, and we've selected a Canton street/road race pan for the Hot Handler project that is currently underway. "The Canton 15-644 pan has a T-style sump for increased oil capacity but at the stock depth. It fits '79-up Mustangs and '80-up T-birds and is used in street and race applications. We have this pan on numerous A/Sedan, World Challenge and Grand Am Cup cars. It has a diamond-shaped road race baffle assembly with four trap door runners to direct oil to the pick up under all conditions. The kit also includes a bolt-in windage tray, oil temperature fitting, magnetic drain plug a crank scraper and a pan-mounted dip stick," says Thor Schroeder of Canton. "When you go wider you have to baffle the pan properly or the oil will be scattered at the bottom of the pan and it won't stay on the pickup," he added.

For added power, many racers install a windage tray that fits between the rotating assembly and the oil pan. Windage trays catch oil that flies off the crank and prevent it from bouncing back onto the rotating assembly. There are many designs including solid trays with louvers, mesh screen types and the Teflon(R)-coated diamond shaped one used by Stef's. "We've found our windage trays to be worth power, especially on Modular engines," says Schroeder of Canton. "The Mod engines have a deep skirt around the crank, but if you look at a stock Mod motor pan you'll notice it is very shallow. We worked with Ford on the 5.4 Cobra R and picked up about 33 horsepower. And we've seen a 17-horsepower increase on 4.6 Cobra engines," Schroeder explained.

In addition to the windage tray, most manufacturers offer crank scrapers to help control windage. A crank scraper runs the length of the pan and normally is mounted on the pan rail. The side facing the crank is contoured to follow the shape of the rotating assembly and though it does not contact the rotating assembly, it should be installed close enough to catch flying oil and reduce windage.

Yet another often overlooked area is the oil pump driveshaft. Our tip is to always install a hardened oil pump driveshaft. "Stock oil pump driveshafts tend to break when used in conjunction with high-volume pumps, heavy racing oil and at high rpm. Break a shaft and it will destroy your motor," says our source at Milodon. Perhaps that's why Milodon offers heat-treated 4130 chrome-moly shafts and they recommend paying attention to loose oil pan bolts and oil leakage, as well.

Some racers also use a vacuum pump to help evacuate air and windage from the crankcase. "Basically, the vacuum pump sucks air from the crankcase and the valve cover area. This helps to control ring flutter and helps to seal the second and top rings," says Stefanacci. "It also reduces turbulent air and oil particles in the crankcase." However, if excess vacuum is applied it can actually pull oil from the cylinder walls and the wrist pins. The specific amount of vacuum is usually dependant on the engine builder, but it's common to see about 20-23 inches of vacuum in a Pro Stock engine, about 17-19 in a Comp engine and 8-12 in stock-type engines.

It's really obvious there is an art to properly oiling your racing engine. If done right you can find a little racer's gold in the form of horsepower. And while some racers may find little to no increase, we've heard of racers picking up 20-40 horsepower.

This pan features oil returns that are necessary in some supercharged or turbocharged applications.

TCI Custom Independent Front Suspension Install - Getting A Handle On It

Total Cost Involved Introduces Custom Independent Front Suspension For Classic '65-'70 Mustangs

Jim SmartWriter

As classic Mustangs came off the assembly line, they were never much on handling. To keep assembly cost and base sticker price low, suspension systems were designed merely to provide a decent ride and keep the car between the lines. It took seasoned race-car builders, including Carroll Shelby, Holman-Moody, and others to get these cars to handle. And when you compare the way these cars were to what's available now, that wasn't saying much. We will give it to those pioneers who paved the way-they spanked more than their share of Corvettes in SCCA B-production competition.

Ed Moss, president and CEO of Total Cost Involved (TCI), is one of those pioneers who handed us quality and extraordinary handling on a silver platter. He founded TCI in 1974 to better serve the street-rod industry with an array of life-enhancing services, parts, and accessories. Much of it began with reproduction Ford Model A frames that left a lasting impression on street rodders. Since that time, TCI has brought us so much more. Through the years, Moss has won untold awards for extraordinary levels of engineering and product. So it should come as no surprise he and the crew at TCI have come up with an independent front-suspension system for early Mustangs and other classic Fords.

Based on the popular '74-'78 Mustang II front suspension system, the TCI Custom IFS system is engineered to lower your Mustang's stance, dramatically improve handling, and make room for larger engines. Impressively, the TCI Mustang Custom IFS is easier to install than you might think. It's a weld-in system that involves a minimal amount of chassis cutting and welding. Once it's all dialed in, you will be pleasantly surprised at the outcome.

We stopped by to watch one of TCI's first kits being installed in its project Mustang. Let's get started.

1 It's difficult to get excited over the Mustang's factory underpinnings complete with antiquated drum brakes. Before you is what was an economical approach to suspension technology in 1960, pioneered in the Falcon and Comet compacts. Sticking the coil and shock over the upper control arm provided an acceptable ride, but it was noisy and didn't do much for handling. It's time to take it all off and start over with a clean slate.

'65-'70 Mustang Custom Independent Front Suspension
This is the kind of technology for classic Fords that gets our motors revving. If you're squeamish about cutting your classic Mustang, the TCI Mustang Custom IFS isn't for you. However, if you're a progressive thinker who owns a run-of-the-mill six or V-8 Mustang and you're not bothered by cutting and welding, the TCI Mustang Custom IFS will make a huge difference in ride, handling, and stance.

The TCI system is a weld-on package that includes framerail reinforcement plates, inner fender panels (that replace shock towers), a crossmember, shock mounts, urethane-bushed tubular control arms, new spindles, linkage, power rack-and-pinion steering, 11-inch disc brakes with OEM-style calipers (which means you can buy brake pads and parts anywhere), coilover shocks, and more. TCI has all the goods to turn your eye-catching classic Mustang into a high-stopping, road-hugging, performance car.

9 The completely welded-in crossmember looks like this and is ready for epoxy primer sealer.

Fanilow - S6-E10

Question: Will and the others are in line to buy Barry Manilow tickets when the box office opens at 6:00 a.m. the next morning (it is established that the episode takes place before midnight) and at one point Rudy states that the show is "tomorrow night." My question: is it common in New York for a fairly popular performer to sell tickets only on the day of the show? I live in Southern California and I can't think of a single time I've heard of a concert headliner selling tickets less than a month before the show.

Chosen answer: I'm not from New York so I can't speak for them, but in Chicago it has happened before. not very often though but I do recall it happening. I have also seen no tickets sold prior to the show at all, it was just first come first served the night of the show. That is very uncommon though.

    MSURJ is published once a year in early April. However, articles may be published online in advance of the issue.

    How can I get involved?

    Undergraduates can become involved with the journal by joining our team, submitting a manuscript, or reader published articles. For details on how available positions or how to publish in MSURJ, please visit the relevant sections of our website, msurj.com.

    What is the MSURJ Blog?

    The MSURJ Blog, titled The Abstract, is our general-interest weblog for the public. It can be found here.

    Who supports MSURJ?

    We are wholly funded by university groups, including the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and the Science Undergraduate Society, as well as several other departments and student societies.

    Where can I get a copy of MSURJ?

    You can find the PDF format of our current issue and all of our back issues at this link. We also publish a number of paper copies each year, which are distributed in McGill libraries, at our annual launch in April, at various tabling events throughout the year, and on stands around campus.

    When and what is the launch?

    The physical copy of MSURJ debuts each year at a wine and cheese launch held in early April. This is normally held at the Thompson House or in the Bellini Atrium.

  • Author Questions

    How can I publish in MSURJ?

    Articles may be submitted any time up to our deadline in early January. Received articles undergo peer review by 2-3 scientists at the faculty or graduate level in the relevant field, and 2-3 rounds of copy-editing by members of the MSURJ board. Peer-review may be double-blind by choice of the authors, or a combination of single-blind or open to the discretion of each peer-reviewer. Articles are returned with either acceptance or rejection justified by peer review and editor commentary, and authors are to make revisions accordingly. Final proofs are presented to authors just prior to publication.

    What kind of articles do you accept?

    MSURJ is a scientific journal that primarily publishes original undergraduate research which presents novel findings by an undergraduate student. We also accept reviews, again requiring originality and the presentation of novel insights. Research relating to any science, meaning the systematic, evidence-based pursuit of understanding or application of any phenomenon, is accepted. For more information, see our submission guidelines.

    How should I format my article?

    Our detailed submission guidelines can be found here. In brief, articles must be submitted in .doc, .docx, or .tex format, and they should be no longer than ~4000 words (not including the title, abstract, or references).

    Who should I suggest as reviewers? Do I need to know them in person? Are they restricted to McGill professors?

    You should suggest professors who are in the same field of research as your work and have the necessary background to judge the contents of your manuscript. Suggested peer-reviewers should not have published with any co-author or any party involved with the submitted work within the last 4 years. Suggested peer-reviewers should not have any personal connection to any party involved with the present work. Peer-reviewers will not be restricted to McGill professors.

    What are your article publishing fees?

    Thanks to the generous support of our donors across the McGill community, we do not charge authors any fees.

  • Editor Questions

    Who are the editors?

    Our editorial board is made up of 15-20 undergraduates who manage the yearly preparation and publication of MSURJ. You can find out more about us in our main website.

    What do editors do?

    Editors are responsible for the preparation of articles and the publicity and management of the MSURJ organisation. The board copy-edits articles, contacts peer reviewers, and communicates with authors. Other tasks are delegated according to portfolios, as detailed here. We also plan various events throughout the year, including our official journal launch in April.

    How do I become an editor?

    Editor applications are accepted from summer to September each year. We typically try to maintain an editorial board size of 15-20 people each year. In general, we seek candidates with focused ideas, strong communication abilities, high-quality editing skills, and extraordinary enthusiasm for research. Laboratory research experience is appreciated but not a requirement. Students from any undergraduate year are encouraged to apply.

How does altitude affect the body?

Altitude feature

Every year, thousands of people travel to high-altitude environments for tourism, adventure-seeking, or to train and compete in various sports.

Unfortunately, these trips can be marred by the effects of acute altitude sickness, and the symptoms vary from person to person. To understand why people are affected differently, we have to look at how the body is affected by altitude.

How is ‘altitude’ different to sea level?

Air is comprised of different molecules, with nitrogen (79.04%) and oxygen (20.93%) making up the majority of each breath we take. This composition of air remains consistent, whether we are at sea level or at altitude.

However, with altitude, the “partial pressure” of oxygen in this air (how many molecules of oxygen are in a given volume of air) changes. At sea-level, the partial pressure of oxygen is 159 mmHg, whereas at 8,848m above sea level (the summit of Mt Everest), the partial pressure of oxygen is only 53 mmHg.

At high altitudes, oxygen molecules are further apart because there is less pressure to “push” them together. This effectively means there are fewer oxygen molecules in the same volume of air as we inhale. In scientific studies, this is often referred to as “hypoxia”.

What happens in the body in high altitudes?

Within seconds of exposure to altitude, ventilation is increased, meaning we start trying to breathe more, as the body responds to less oxygen in each breath, and attempts to increase oxygen uptake. Despite this response, there’s still less oxygen throughout your circulatory system, meaning less oxygen reaches your muscles. This will obviously limit exercise performance.

Within the first few hours of altitude exposure, water loss also increases, which can result in dehydration. Altitude can also increase your metabolism while suppressing your appetite, meaning you’ll have to eat more than you feel like to maintain a neutral energy balance.

When people are exposed to altitude for several days or weeks, their bodies begin to adjust (called “acclimation”) to the low-oxygen environment. The increase in breathing that was initiated in the first few seconds of altitude exposure remains, and haemoglobin levels (the protein in our blood that carries oxygen) increase, along with the ratio of blood vessels to muscle mass.

Despite these adaptations in the body to compensate for hypoxic conditions, physical performance will always be worse at altitude than for the equivalent activity at sea level. The only exception to this is in very brief and powerful activities such as throwing or hitting a ball, which could be aided by the lack of air resistance.

Why do only some people get altitude sickness?

Many people who ascend to moderate or high altitudes experience the effects of acute altitude sickness. Symptoms of this sickness typically begin 6-48 hours after the altitude exposure begins, and include headache, nausea, lethargy, dizziness and disturbed sleep.

These symptoms are more prevalent in people who ascend quickly to altitudes of above 2,500m, which is why many hikers are advised to climb slowly, particularly if they’ve not been to altitude before.

It’s difficult to predict who will be adversely affected by altitude exposure. Even in elite athletes, high levels of fitness are not protective for altitude sickness.

There’s some evidence those who experience the worst symptoms have a low ventilatory response to hypoxia. So just as some people aren’t great singers or footballers, some people’s bodies are just less able to cope with the reduction in oxygen in their systems.

There are also disorders that impact on the blood’s oxygen carrying capacity, such as thalassemia, which can increase the risk of symptoms.

But the best predictor of who may suffer from altitude sickness is a history of symptoms when being exposed to altitude previously.

How are high-altitude natives different?

People who reside at altitude are known to have greater capacity for physical work at altitude. For example, the Sherpas who reside in the mountainous regions of Nepal are renowned for their mountaineering prowess.

High-altitude natives exhibit large lung volumes and greater efficiency of oxygen transport to tissues, both at rest and during exercise.

While there is debate over whether these characteristics are genetic, or the result of altitude exposure throughout life, they provide high-altitude natives with a distinct advantage over lowlanders during activities in hypoxia.

So unless you’re a sherpa, it’s best to ascend slowly to give your body more time to adjust to the challenges of a hypoxic environment.

Fongri, 1921, 5 1/2 Hp

Fongri “5 1/2 Hp”, 1921, Italy

Fongri was born in Turin in 1910 from the Grignani brothers, motorbikes manufacturers, and Fontana. Fongri initially built single-cilinders side-valves JAP-powered motorcycles.

Eugenio Grignani, cofounder of the brand and technical manager of the company, was a meticulous technician and cared for details, so much so that contrary to the use, he decided to design and produce internally the carburetor and the gearbox too.

The 5 1/2 HP was ready after WWI and proved to be successful, winning the 1919 edition of the Italian Championship.

The winning convinced a group of industrialists from Milan to invest 5 million Lire (a significant amount of money at the time) to industrialize the product: so the collaboration with SAOM “Società Anonima Officine Meccaniche” from Ceriano Laghetto started.

Due to the advent of the 1929 economic crisis and the Italian protectionist politics of the time, the company closed in 1930.

In 1925 the 5 1/2 HP was updated with disk brake at the front, a unique innovation that we will see massively applied only years after WWII.

  • Carburetor
  • Side valves
  • Magneto ignition
  • Multiple disks clutch
  • Chain drive
  • Rigid frame
  • Mechanical brakes

How is a letter of intent different from a cover letter?

How is a letter of intent different from a cover letter?

letter of intent

You should leave no stone unturned to get selected for the job or at least get an interview call. Your resume won’t be enough to get you at a big digits pay scale easily; especially in such a highly competitive world where jobs are less but applicants are many.

You need to add a cover letter or a letter of intent to grab the potential job.

Cover letter and letter of intent seem to be similar as they both are used for applying to a job but their functions are different.

A cover letter is written and aimed towards a specific position and a letter of intent, on the other hand, is written to show your interest in the company; even when there is no suitable job opening.

Below are the points to know the difference between a cover letter and letter of intent:

Letter of Intent: Introduction

1. In a letter of intent, you share education or work experience. You indicate that you are interested to work with the company and open to taking a job role. You share why you want to know about the current opportunities with the company to try and gain preliminary attention.

2. A letter of intent is intended to communicate your general interest in working for or with a company even if there is no suitable job opening yet. You indicate the hiring manager that you like and follow the company passionately and would like to become a part of it.

3. Letter of intent includes your interest areas and skills. It is like the first impression you want to create for a hiring manager. You clearly tell and mention your skills, achievements, education, and the areas you are interested in. You mainly tell the company why you are a good candidate to hire.

4. A letter of intent is written with a specific purpose in mind, which is to attract the attention of the hiring manager and see if there are any job openings available in the company.

5. A letter of intent ends with a request to be notified if an appropriate opening becomes available.

Also Read: What is an intent letter and why companies ask for it?

Cover letter: Introduction

1. A cover letter is used to enhance your application for an advertised job listing, and the content is geared towards how your skills can be applied to the specific requirements of the job.

2. A cover letter is attached with your resume in response to a specific job vacancy. Whereas letter of intent is sent to companies regardless of whether there is an open vacancy or not.

3. A cover letter is usually short and simple. It is written to tell why you are a good candidate for a certain position. This position is advertised by the company as vacant. Your main motto behind writing a cover letter is to make the hiring manager understand how you are the perfect candidate with notable experience in a similar position.

4. A cover letter is written with a specific position in mind and your main purpose is to explain to the hiring manager why you are capable enough to take on the position.

5. A cover letter always ends with the information about your availability and request for an interview.

Also Read: What is a cover letter and why you need one

Briefly, a letter of intent is cold pitching the companies you like even if there is no job available with them. You explain your interest and skills in the letter with the aim of joining the company someday. The trickiest part of writing a letter of intent is demonstrating how you can use your skills for the benefit of the company.

On the other hand, a cover letter is tailored to a specific job position. The company has advertised for the said job position and you deem yourself fit for it. Hence, you send a cover letter in addition to your resume explaining why you are the perfect candidate for a particular position.

Whether a cover letter, a job resume, or a letter of intent, you can always take help from online resume templates. Make sure you make no mistakes or silly typos in the letters. Always proofread before you hit the send button. To improve your chances of being heard and getting selected, take help from cover letter samples or of online services like Resume Buddy to write an appealing and notable letter.

Woodland pleased with spring football game

BEACON FALLS — It’s an annual tradition, but it’s never the same.

The Woodland football team concluded two weeks of spring football last Saturday with the Black and White intrasquad scrimmage.

Scores don’t mean much in spring football, but fourth-year head coach Tim Shea said he and his staff were enthused by what they saw.

“I think that as a whole the coaching staff is pleased with the outcome,” Shea said. “A lot of our returning starters were as advertised. Our young skill kids stepped it up.”

The Hawks lost five seniors from last year’s 7-4, Class S quarterfinalist team to graduation, including all-everything quarterback and defensive back Jack DeBiase, secondary mates Craig Genz and Jake Pinho, tight end and defensive end Ian Bures, and wide receiver Robby Johnson.

But those losses leave the entire offensive line and linebacker corps, as well as most of the defensive line intact, including All-NVL backer Zach Plourde, All-Copper linemen Jeremy Clark and Jeff Holder, and All-Copper linebacker Matt Zaccagnini.

“Our whole line is back and the majority of our defense is back, as well,” Shea said. “We’re going to lean on them a lot since they’re our seniors.”

Shea said that even though the team returns an experienced group, there will still be challenges.

“Every year, even though we have a lot of the same people back, there are new problems,” Shea said. “We’re going to try some new things on offense and we’ve got some people to replace in the secondary. Some of these young guys will have to step in.”

The offense will undergo the biggest change after the loss of DeBiase, the program’s all-time leading rusher. DeBiase moved from running back to quarterback in his senior season but still ran more often than not while either under center or in the shotgun.

Rising sophomore Tanner Kingsley saw the bulk of action at quarterback after entering a few games at the end of 2010. Kingsley played about two and a half quarters, according to Shea, while rising junior Brett Fowler played the rest of the game.

“We mixed up the run and the pass,” Shea said. “We completed a lot of balls to a lot of different receivers so we were happy with that.”

Woodland’s running game has been the backbone of the team’s offense since going to the wing-T style in 2007 and figures to be a big part of this fall’s squad. Zaccagnini, a rising senior, as well as rising sophomores Mike Lang and Taylor Tucciarone were the “three main guys,” according to Shea.

Despite a few injuries that kept some players out of the scrimmage, Shea was optimistic about everything he saw on Saturday morning.

“We had played better than I thought,” Shea said. “We’re still breaking down the film and we’ll be doing that for most of the summer.”

In addition to breaking down film, the team will continue its offseason conditioning program in July and August while also participating in some passing leagues and the annual team camp at the University of New Haven at the end of July.

Woodland will start its official pre-season conditioning on Aug. 22 before full practice begins Aug. 27. The Hawks open up the 2011 season with three straight home games, including Sacred Heart on Sept. 16, Ansonia on Sept. 23, and non-league opponent Jonathan Law on Sept. 30.

Are Schools Too Inclusive? Some People Think So

Peter Dewitt
Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
10 Minute Read
June 16, 2022

As part of a workshop I was facilitating for a school district last year, I was asked to focus on equity. For full disclosure, as much as I thought I knew about equity, now that I moderate A Seat at the Table for Education Week, a venue where we focus on the topic often, I realize I have a lot to learn.

As the conversation around equity—specifically relating to the district’s LGBTQ population and race—progressed, I could tell one person was becoming agitated. After we finished the conversation and took a morning break, the person came to me and started the conversation with, “I’m a conservative,” which is not the way someone usually begins a conversation with me.

I assumed they started that way because it was going to excuse the next set of words that would come out of their mouth. After I smiled or said, “How nice for you (I really can’t remember what I said),” they told me they thought schools were too inclusive.

I was taken aback by that statement because I have never had someone say that to me before. I was not offended nor angry, but I was a bit surprised and then realized they were not just a conservative but a right-wing conservative—at least when it came to equity. The person went on to tell me they thought their school district, as well as most school districts, were too inclusive and instead of schools catering to every child, the child should do a better job of fitting into the school.

What the person didn’t understand, or maybe they did, is that the majority of adults who run the school systems across the U.S. are straight, heterosexual, and white, including 80 percent of teachers, which is most likely at the crux of their statement. However, most of the students within the U.S. school system are students of color.

Connecting the Dots

As I walked away from the conversation, I actually felt sad for the person, because instead of learning from the diversity around them, they were trying to hold on to their exclusionary beliefs, which they would do anything to defend and take any measure to make sure they would keep intact.

During our current election season (but let’s face it, election season is never done), we have seen an increase in candidates who are using very specific exclusionary language to unify their constituency. As we know, there is a movement on the side of at least one group in the United States to prevent any conversation about the LGBTQ community. They don’t come out and say that in any honest fashion. What they do is try to make it seem like they want to ban any conversations that may not be age appropriate.

We need not look any further than Florida’s so-called Parental Rights in Education law. You can read more about it here and here. Most people call it what it really is, the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, or more disgustingly called the “Anti-Grooming” bill by Gov. DeSantis’ press secretary. In reality, that is just a Trojan horse. What they really want is to use such bills as a way to discriminate against the whole LGBTQ community.

What begins as a way to prevent saying the word “gay” in the K-3 setting becomes a way to prevent gay teachers and school leaders from displaying pictures of themselves with their partners in the same way heterosexual teachers and leaders can have pictures of their families around their classrooms or offices. For instance, this lesbian teacher in Florida left her position due to pressure she was feeling from some colleagues and many parents.

Schools Need to Be Inclusive Because It’s the Right Thing to Do

The very nature of public schools is to accept any student who comes in their doors and to try to find different methods to include those students in conversations and engage them in learning. The very epitome of the equity and diversity movement is to learn from one another, which ultimately makes us stronger as a nation because everyone can see that they have something important to contribute.

As uncomfortable as it makes politicians who want to ban conversations and make some populations appear less worthy than other populations, the reality is that public schools are about including all students.

What populations like the LGBTQ community need to understand is that they should not worry about what people like DeSantis thinks of them. They should always speak up and speak out about discrimination but need not try to change his mind or that of people like him. The law that DeSantis pushed is discriminatory, and he must know it’s discriminatory. People who corner others and tell them that they believe schools are too inclusive are discriminatory but may not always see it as so, which is even sadder, because they don’t always recognize the hate they perpetuate. DeSantis, legislators, and gubernatorial candidates do understand the hate they spin, because they also understand it will win them votes by tapping into the mentality of other haters in the country.

What’s important for the LGBTQ community is not to look for acceptance from the narrow-minded people who support measures like the “Don’t Say Gay” law. What is truly important is to find self-acceptance and to surround themselves with people who actually see their strengths.

Self-acceptance is key. Living our lives and speaking out against discrimination is what we need to do.

In the End

Our nation has a lot of hate and discrimination within it. I would guess that most nations do. We need not look any further than the nightly news or political ads to see it. Part of the reason for the hate is due to people who say things like, “Schools are too inclusive,” or politicians and candidates who try to pass discriminatory laws or get up on stage and say that “we need to take our country back.” What that really means is that the world is changing, and they fear the growing diversity that surrounds them.

It must be terrible to wake up every morning so angry that you have to find different ways to silence the voices of those who scare you. Those angry people only want power and will do whatever they can to hold onto it. What most other populations, like the LGBTQ community or communities of color, are looking for when it comes to equity is an equal opportunity and acceptance. They want a voice equal to the others who surround them. Unlike people who say schools are too inclusive or that we need to take our country back, people who look for equality don’t want to quash the voice of others so they can have the loudest voice.

In the movie “Love, Simon,” Jennifer Gardner plays Simon’s mother, and in one scene after Simon is forced out of the closet, Gardner looks at him as they sit on the couch. Through tears, she tells him that for many years it seemed as though Simon was always holding his breath, that he couldn’t exhale. That was a perfect depiction of what it’s like for many people in the LGBTQ community—and the reason why schools need to be more inclusive. Pride Month, which is what we are in right now, is about honoring those who chose to exhale no matter how hard it is or has been and for students in the LGBTQ community to not feel they need to hold their breath.

A strange siren noise which woke up residents near Heathrow Airport has had social media buzzing.

The mysterious droning sound started after midnight on May 24 and lasted for at least an hour.

Sleep-deprived Twitter users from Stanwell and Ashford, next to the airport in Spelthorne, Surrey, were concerned that the ominous sound heralded nuclear attack.

Others suggested, more realistically, that the noise was coming from a nearby fuel depot.

It is a theory which Surrey Police seemed to favour. A spokesperson said they received six or seven calls between 1.30am and 2.30am and countless more messages from social media users.

She said: “The noise seems to have been coming from the direction of the fuel depot in Bedfont Road in Stanwell. We've contacted the depot but have yet to hear back.

"It was a siren noise more than an alarm and it’s not really a police matter but we know there was lots of social media about it.”

Others tweeted they could hear the siren from Feltham , and believed it to be from the young offenders' institute.

In the end, one user on Facebook appeared to have cracked the conundrum.

Shamus Doherty said a neighbour had received an email from Met Police which read: "I am unaware of the alarm myself so have contacted the oil terminal.

"Last night there was a false alarm at the terminal. This alarm sounded for longer than is usual and I understand this is being addressed.

"Apparently if you are a local resident you may well receive information/an apology about it in due course from the terminal."

Esso has confirmed the siren was at its Stanwell depot. So now we know.

Respiratory Secretion Management

  • Gary Hsin MD
  • James Hallenbeck MD

Download PDF

Background     Excessive or thick respiratory secretions are common in patients with pulmonary and neurologic diseases and for many patients in the last few days of life.  This Fast Fact reviews treatment options for managing distressing secretions.

Pathophysiology    Mucus consists of water (~ 95%), glycoproteins, and small amounts of proteoglycans and lipids.  The mucus layer of the respiratory tract rests against a periciliary watery layer around cilia, which facilitates upward movement of secretions (1,2).  For patients with ineffective mucociliary clearance, poor cough, or excessive/abnormal mucus production, dyspnea, cough, tachypnea, or sensations of choking/gagging may occur.

Pharmacological Treatments

  • Hydration:  Studies of COPD patients have not demonstrated improved mucus production or clearance with added hydration (1,1).
  • Expectorants:  Guaifenesin acts by stimulating gastric mucosa and the gastric nerve to stimulate the cough reflex, and also induces a vagally mediated increase in airway secretion. The evidence for its efficacy is based on a single study in chronic bronchitis patients (3).
  • Drying agents:  Anticholinergic agents such as scopolamine or glycopyrrolate may be very helpful for excessive mucus production. Watch for anticholinergic side-effects (dry mouth, urinary retention), or over-drying, which may cause overly thick mucus and mucus plugging (see Fast Fact #109).
  • Aerosolized solutions:  Nebulized hypertonic saline (3%) has demonstrated effectiveness in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, but not in COPD.  Hypertonic/hypotonic solutions can trigger bronchospasm (1,2). Sodium bicarbonate (2-7.5%) solutions are used in aerosolized forms to elevate the pH of tracheobronchial secretions, which weaken the saccharide structures of the mucus.  The effects are additive when used with N-acetylcysteine (3).
  • Antibiotics: respiratory infection commonly leads to increased mucus production; antibiotics may be indicated depending on the overall goals of care.
  • Bronchodilators:  Beta-adrenergic agonists and drugs containing aminophylline improve mucus clearance by increasing ciliary activity (1).
  • Disulfide disruptor:  Nebulized N-acetylcysteine (Mucomyst) severs the disulfide bonds of glycoproteins in mucus, and lowers its viscosity.  Some studies have demonstrated effectiveness with this treatment.  It does have an unpleasant smell and can cause bronchospasm; therefore, co-administration of a beta-adrenergic agonist should be considered (1,2,4).
  • Enzymatic agents:  In CF, DNA is released by leukocytes, increasing mucus viscosity (1). Recombinant human DNase (dornase alfa or Pulmozyme) cleaves DNA and has been shown to be effective.

Non-pharmacological Treatments

  • Suctioning:  For many patients with a weak cough reflex, gentle suctioning can be very helpful. However, deep suctioning should be avoided and can be very irritating.
  • Postural Drainage/Chest Physiotherapy (CPT):  CPT loosens secretions and facilitates cough or suctioning (1).
  • External Oscillation Device:  This device achieves the same degree of efficacy as CPT.  It is a small, lightweight, plastic, pipe-shaped device that is inexpensive (~$50) and easy to use (4).
  • Devices: such as PEP (positive expiratory pressure) masks and external compression vests may also be appropriate for certain patients.

Initial Management Recommendations

  • Assess quantity and quality (thick/thin) of secretions.
  • Consider providing immediate relief through suctioning, postural drainage, or nebulization before long term maintenance therapy, such as antibiotics.
  • Select agents based on the balance of benefits vs. undesirable effects (examples: guaifenesin may worsen nausea; scopolamine dries/thickens secretions, causes dry mouth, and sedation, which may or may not be desirable.

Bush signs IMBRA

2006-01-05  Bush signs IMBRA
On January 05, 2006, President Bush signed into law the "International Marriage Broker Regulation Act of 2005 (IMBRA)", Public Law No. 109-162, Title VIII, Subtitle D, January 05, 2006 [codified at 8 USC #1375a(d)(2) and (e)(4)].

This law was attached to the Violence Against Women (VAWA) and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005 up for renewal (passed by House and Senate). No public hearings were conducted, or any witnesses questioned. There was no statistical evidence submitted regarding International marriages, subsequent divorces or incidences of domestic violence. In fact, all informal studies suggest that inter-cultural couples enjoy a divorce rate percentage much smaller than the national domestic rate of 50%. More discussion will certainly result from this as individuals learn of this law's enactment.

February 2020 Pet Treater Dog Pack Review

This shipment from Pet Treater included 4 items: a gourmet cookie, toy, bag of treats, bandana, and promotional literature.

Look how cute this month’s “Pick of the Litter” is! Don't forget to email photos of your dog to enter to win a free item in your next month's box.

Donut Dog Toy by Bow Wow

Donuts are a big deal to my kids, probably because they don't get to eat them that much. Everyone, including Rufus, was very excited to see this giant donut toy! It has a little squeaker on its edge and is so soft. Rufus isn't too interested in playing with toys, but both of my kids are trying hard to get him to play with it. They both are loving it at least and it looks super cute on Rufus's dog bed!

BT's Bake Shop All Natural Gourmet Cookie, 1.25 oz

These gourmet cookies are always a special treat for Rufus! He gobbled this donut-shaped cheesy bacon crunch cookie up in seconds. Even my son Fox asked if he could lick the icing off of it, hahaha! Luckily he didn't but only because Rufus wouldn't share most likely! This cookie is made with wheat flour, honey, eggs, cheese, bacon bits, and steel-cut oats. What a quality treat that is also adorable!

Love Me Tender Bacon Biscuits Made for Pet Treater by The Pound Bakery

These 'Love Me Tender' biscuits are heart-shaped and oh so cute! Rufus didn't seem as interested in these treats as he normally is, but that might be because Fox was trying to feed him nicely for the photo. He ate them all up once the treats dropped to the floor. They have a strong cheese and bacon smell, which is always a win for Rufus. The treats are on the smaller side, making them perfect for a quick treat for sitting or coming in from a walk. Plus, the bag is resealable so I know they are going to keep nicely.

Donuts Bandana for Pet Treater

Rufus is ready for Spring in this colorful bandana! Doesn't he look so cute?! The quality of these bandanas just keeps getting better with a super soft fabric and straight edges without any loose strings. I love the happy faces on each donut and the amazing colors. Rufus will be rocking this for Easter, but right now my daughter has claimed this bandana for one of her baby dolls. Hopefully I can get it back for him to wear though!

Verdict: Another successful month from Pet Treater with bold and delicious donut themed items and cutie heart biscuits! Rufus isn't a very picky dog so he always loves everything we get each month. He eats his cookie in seconds and gobbles down his yummy treats whenever we give him one. He probably doesn't enjoy his bandana as much as we do, but he looks so handsome I can hardly stand it! Dog toy or kid toy? Either way, the toy is getting played with and loved very much! I really think the quality of each item is going up which makes me feel confident in the products we are giving to Rufus and it makes me eager to recommend to my other dog-loving family friends.

This month I received 4 items. I couldn’t find any of the exact items online, so just by dividing it out, each item would cost about $3.75. At $15 a month with free shipping, I know that I'm making Rufus happy with quality items which is really where I see the value! Plus, opening the box and showing each item to Rufus has become a family affair which makes my heart sing because it is the most attention my kids give to Rufus!

To Wrap Up:

Can you still get this box if you sign up today? No, you’ll receive a collection of pet-approved favorites as a welcome pack. After that, your pet will receive the same monthly shipment as other subscribers. Items vary from shipment to shipment, so you’re not guaranteed the same items as seen here.

Rabbi William H. Lebeau Book Award

Rabbi Lebeau

Its Origins

In 2007, the NAASE Board of Governors established an annual Book Award in honor of Rabbi William H. Lebeau, then-retiring Vice-Chancellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary. Rabbi Lebeau has been vital to the success of the NAASE Week of Study throughout its now-25-year history, and a staunch supporter, professional colleague, and resource to NAASE and to synagogue executives across North America for several decades. He has always spoken with great conviction of the vital partnership of congregational rabbis and executive directors in the truly successful congregation. He has spoken with equal conviction of the role of executive directors in encouraging potential leaders from their congregations to attend the Seminary and to become rabbinic leaders.

Its Format

At the time of the Award’s creation, the NAASE Board of Governors set aside a block of NAASE’s financial reserves to create the investment corpus of the Lebeau Book Award Fund. The intention is to use $500 from this fund each year as a one-time award granted to a rabbinical student at the Jewish Theological Seminary, in honor of Rabbi Lebeau. Candidates are selected from among those nominated by synagogue leaders across North America’s USCJ-affiliated kehillot, utilizing criteria that signify early signs of great passion, demonstrated effective commitment and leadership, and participation in diverse experiences in the panoply of Jewish communal service during the early years of their rabbinical school engagement. As one can imagine, a somber task faces the Award Selection Committee each year!

The award recipient is announced, and the grant is presented, at the annual NAASE Week of Study at JTS each June. Throughout its history, the Week of Study has been graciously co-sponsored by NAASE with the generous support of the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism and the Jewish Theological Seminary.

Its Recipients and Honorees
