Dominican Republic

Dominica has been described as one of the most beautiful countries in the world. For the distracted observer, this impression is immediately confirmed from the first citing of the Island. Nestled between the French Islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe, this “Nature Isle” is steeped in unparalleled natural beauty, a rich Creole culture, and the friendliest people in the World.

Dominica lies in the center of the Caribbean chain of islands, between the French overseas territories of Guadeloupe and Martinique. It is a rugged island noted for its mountains, rivers and waterfalls. It, more than any other island in the Caribbean, has managed to retain its natural beauty.

St. Kitts and Nevis

Once known as the Gibraltar of the West Indies, the massive 17th-century fortress atop Brimstone Hill on St. Kitts recalls colonial occupation. Independent of Britain since 1983, the nation is diversifying the economy away from sugar towards tourism, banking, and light manufacturing.

The Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis (St. Kitts & Nevis), located in the Leeward Islands, is a federal two-island state in the Caribbean region. The federation is the smallest sovereign state in the Americas, both in surface area and population. St. Kitts & Nevis is an ideal place for conducting business because of the high literacy rate (98%), the high levels of broadband access, the use of English as an official language, and the low taxes.

At The Migration Firm, we can guide you on the right investment program and can also link you with the real estate agents who have ongoing projects in the Caribbean Islands. We also work closely with the Caribbean Immigration Lawyers to make sure that your application is in professional and safe hands.

Volatile apartment sector reduces US home building

By Josh Boak, Associated Press
View Comments

WASHINGTON – U.S. home construction plunged in August, led by steep decline in the volatile apartment category. But single-family house construction, a larger and more stable portion of the market, fell only modestly.

Construction fell 14.4 percent in August to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 956,000 homes, the Commerce Department said Thursday. This reverses the sharp gains in July when the rate of new construction rose to 1.12 million homes, the highest annual rate since 2007.

Last month’s decrease primarily came from builders starting fewer apartment complexes, which plummeted 31.5 percent compared to July. Apartments have propelled much of the growth in residential construction over the past year, but the pace has been volatile from month to month. Apartment starts surged 51 percent in July.

In August, the building of single-family houses fell 2.4 percent.

Applications for building permits, a sign of future activity, dipped 5.6 percent to an annual rate of 998,000.

Apartment construction has surged 19.2 percent in the past 12 months. Meanwhile, single-family starts have risen just 4.2 percent. The shift among builders to increased apartment building is a sign that a rising share of Americans will be renters, rather than homeowners.

Jed Kolko, chief economist at the real estate firm Trulia, said that builders are already constructing too many single-family houses. The vacancy rate for these homes was 10.7 percent in 2013, compared to 7.4 percent in 2000, according to the Census.

“We’re still building single family homes faster than we can fill them,” said Kolko, saying that builders will need to place a greater emphasis on apartments.

Changes in starts for multi-unit homes such as apartments influence the monthly construction totals, but the category accounted for just 32 percent of starts in August. That’s up slightly from 29 percent in August 2013.

The growing preference for rentals likely reflects the sluggish, five-year economic recovery. Most incomes remain below their pre-recession levels, making it harder for families to save for a down payment and qualify for a mortgage. The Census Bureau said this week that median household incomes were $51,939 in 2013. Adjusting for inflation, that’s 8 percent lower than in 2007, when the recession began.

Still, solid job growth for much of 2014 has increased the total number of paychecks in the economy. When more people are working, that should provide a boost for home construction.

One measure of building confidence has been steadily improving for the past four months.

The National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo builder sentiment index rose in September to 59, the highest reading since November 2005. Readings above 50 indicate more builders view sales conditions as good rather than poor.

Builders see sales activity and traffic from would-be buyers as improving. Still, interest from first-time buyers continues to lag historical averages.

New homes are selling for an average price of $339,100, according to the Commerce Department. Those prices, coupled with weak wage growth, have made affordability a problem for potential buyers seeking a new home.

But economists are still looking for a rebound heading into the tail end of the year. Job gains through August have averaged more than 215,000 a month this year.

Though new homes represent only a fraction of the housing market, they have an outsize impact on the economy. Each home built creates an average of three jobs for a year and generates about $90,000 in tax revenue, according to data from the Home Builders.

Oshkosh's Roy Helms named national sergeant-at-arms of American Legion

Debra N. Murrell
Reader submitted
View Comments

A military veteran from Oshkosh was appointed national sergeant-at-arms of the 2 million member American Legion Aug. 24 at the organization’s national convention in Reno, Nevada.

Roy A. Helms served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1974 to 1978. He was trained in electronics, primarily combat surveillance radar. He was assigned to Camp Lejeune, N.C., performing repairs and calibration of electronic test equipment, including additional training to become precision measurement electronics lab certified. His final rank was awarded meritoriously.

Following his Marine Corps service, he attended technical college, receiving an associate’s degree in electronics technology and then pursued a second degree in computer programming.

While in technical school, Helms went to work for Morse Electronics, which has become part of what is now Baycom Inc. Since December 1978, he has been involved with the installation and maintenance of public safety radio systems and E911 dispatch centers. He is currently a senior tech/tech supervisor.

Helms served as commander of Cook-Fuller Post 70 in Oshkosh, as district commander and as a department (state) of Wisconsin vice-commander. He also is a member of The Sons of The American Legion, Squadron 70, Oshkosh.

Helms served on various department committees, including his current term on Policy.
In 2008, he received the “Joseph R. Meeks Gung-Ho” Award. He received appointments to the National Legislative Council and the National Americanism Council.

Helms also served as 6th District president, and went on to serve six years as state president of the American Legion Riders Association of Wisconsin. Helms was selected to participate in the first Legion Riders “Wreath Laying” ceremony at the Tomb of The Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day in 2005. He received a National “American Legion Rider of Honor” award in 2008.

He and his wife Nancy have been married since 1974 and live in Oshkosh. Nancy is currently a district president in the American Legion Auxiliary. They have twin sons, one daughter and three grandchildren, all Legion Family members.

Helms is one of 12 national officers in The American Legion.

    I have a minor problem with my Peugeot 208, however it seems huge problem to me. Clutch is clicking when I switch from neutral to 1. Most of the time I am stuck in traffic jam, so I am moving slowly so the gear exchange sounds loud :(.

    Also I would kindly ask all 208 owners to try push the clutch pedal few times in the neutral and feel, if clutch is making such an unpleasant noise.

    Thank you, I look forward to your ideas/issue sharing. :)

Circuit breakers, tucked away in their distinctive metal enclosure inserted inconspicuously on the wall, typically in basements or beyond the labyrinth of pipe and machinery-filled gray cement corridors, have not always been held in high regard, despite their highly important function. However, they are part of a highly lucrative and growing multibillion-dollar market, and the increasing popularity of smart circuit breakers has the market poised to grow exponentially.

What is the Difference Between Regular Circuit Breakers and Smart Circuit Breakers?

18 1231 1

Regular circuit breakers and smart circuit breakers, how do they differ? An electromechanical device, the regular circuit breaker essentially has one primary function—to regulate the flow of electricity to the various circuits in a home or building. A single switch can serve just one circuit, or many, depending upon the amount of power required for particular circuits.

Smart circuit breakers pretty much serve the same purpose—but deliver a few extras that regular circuit breakers don’t. Smart circuit breakers can also function as meters, and can also work wirelessly via your Wi-Fi to provide you with power consumption information for each circuit in your home.

The Role of Circuit Breakers in a Large Commercial Space

18 1231 2

It’s simple math, really—bigger buildings=a bigger electrical load=more electrical equipment, possibly including switchgear or multiple transformers.

The circuit breakers role in a large commercial space is extremely important, because with such vast amounts of power consumption at numerous levels throughout the building, it is vitally important that power is regulated efficiently—typically, each floor of a commercial building will also have their own electric closet to service that zone.

As you can imagine, circuit breakers utilized in commercial buildings are designed to handle a much greater electrical capacity. Likewise, they are also designed to automatically break the electrical circuit in case of an overload, preventing electrical fire or other related damage.

The Benefits of Using Smart Circuit Breakers (Digital Circuit Breakers)

18 1231 3

There are many reasons smart circuit breakers are being touted as the new and practical evolution of regular circuit breakers, not the least of which is improved energy efficiency. The technical capabilities enable homes and buildings to use electrical in a much more sensible manner by better managing energy use.

New developments in solid-state technology are helping circuit breakers to more efficiently monitor and control power consumption by providing meter usage information for each circuit. Such advances pave the way for boosting operational efficiency and continuity, and regulating high power consumption utilities, such as air conditioning, heating, and water heaters.

Solid-state circuit breakers utilizing high-power semiconductors can also function without any mechanical parts. This not only improves safety and reliability, but also makes it much quicker at breaking a circuit than the regular circuit breaker could ever hope to achieve. It also allows for new functions and features to be added and controlled using intuitive apps, such as providing an alert if the smart circuit breakers senses that an appliance is on the verge of malfunction or breakdown.

While solid-state smart/digital circuit breakers can certainly help to improve energy efficiency in the home, the commercial and industrial markets stand to benefit greatly, as these buildings use much more energy on a daily basis. At some point in the near future, the plan is for digital circuit breakers to be easily mass-produced for a reasonable cost, though there will, of course, likely be circuit breakers sold at a premium as well.

Fasting...The Ultimate Expression of Praise

raise the Lord! Praise, O servants of the Lord. Praise the name of the Lord. Psalm 113:1 (NASB)

When we give praise, we express admiration. We say good things or write good things. Our actions show respect and love. What we do and say makes it evident that we are grateful. Our actions and words bring honor. Let them praise Your great and awesome name; Holy is He (Psalm 99:3 NASB).

God is worthy of our praise. The children sing a song that puts it like this, (He is our) creator, provider, protector, savior and king. God is also our healer, judge and defender. How is it possible that someone who does all those things for us, slips our mind? I know I am guilty of letting the day get away from me. At times, I let things of the world take up my time and thoughts by spending time on things that won’t last. What is interesting to note is that even when the day has gotten away from me or when I find myself in a stressful, frustrating situation, if I stop and praise the Lord, a peace will automatically fill me. Satan wants to devour us and tries to persuade us that we can “handle things” ourselves. Our praise is the strategy we need to defeat the enemy. I believe there is no greater time that Satan will try to distract and influence you than when you are committed fully to a fast. Satan even believes his own lies. Satan has no doubt that God exists but he also believes handling things his own way is the answer and he wants you to believe it too.

You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe and shudder, James 2:19. Yes, the demons believe but the Bible tells us they shudder. Their body trembles and shakes. Why? Fear. They fear the power you have through prayer. Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall before you by the sword Leviticus 26. Praise ushers in the very presence of God and in His presence, no enemy can or will stand. Fasting is the ultimate expression of praise. It is a time to realize we are not self-sufficient. “Our way” is not the right way. It is a time to realize we are dependent on God and He is the one in control. This expression of praise is the spiritual tool to help you develop a closer relationship with your Creator. Yield your life and will to His design. Sacrifice daily that which you crave physically and replace it with a spiritual hunger to spend time in the presence of God. Praise Him with your commitment to this fast. Praise Him with your words and actions. Humble your heart and sing His praise for He is worthy!

My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your glory all day long. Psalm 71:8 (NASB)

Bible Reading: James 4, Psalm 100

SWEDEN and Slovakia will lock horns for the first time in a major tournament this afternoon.

Slovakia will be aiming to build on their impressive win against Poland and know that three points will put them into the last 16 of Euro 2020, regardless of results elsewhere.

You can catch all the action from Group E live from the Krestovsky Stadium in St Petersburg at 2pm on BBC ONE.

What's the form?

Largely tipped as group outsiders, Slovakia got off to the perfect start, beating neighbouring country Poland in a thrilling 2-1 encounter, fending off one Robert Lewandowski.

"We managed to neutralise Lewandowski and score at the same time." Slovakia boss Stefan Tarkovic said.

"Lewandowski plays a decisive role in the last third of the field, it was important to keep him out of the box."

Tarkovic's side come into this game on a six-game unbeaten run - although Slovakia have never beaten Sweden.

This will be the first time these two sides meet at a major tournament and Sweden, who qualified for Euro 2021 with relative ease, have been in exceptional form since, winning six of their last eight games.

They also managed to scrape a 0-0 draw with Spain last time out, although Sweden have lost their second group stage match at each of their last four major tournaments - so they will want to rectify that stat.

Who's in and who's out?

Sweden will come into this with a huge double injury boost, through the return of Dejan Kulusevski and Mattias Svanberg - who have successfully recovered from Covid-19.

Although the Swedes had their chances against Spain, these two will provide a much needed boost to their attacking line.

"If you come and play Spain in 32-degree heat and think you’re going to outplay them, you’re totally naive," Sweden boss Janne Andersson said

"I’m not at all ashamed of this point. If we want to take points from these types of teams, we have to play this way."

There is a slight concern for Mikael Lustig though, who walked off in their opening game after a suspected groin injury.

Slovakia have no major injury problems, so you can expect Stefan Tarkovic to employ a similar - maybe even the same - line-up as against Poland, with Marek Hamsik and Ondrej Duda leading the line.

Who to watch out for...

Alexander Isak will be one to watch and is the sting in Sweden's tail.

The 21-year-old was named as Young Player Of The Year over in LaLiga after impressing in the colours of Real Sociedad.

The Swedish striker enjoyed a prolific season over in Spain, netting 17 times and playing a huge hand in Sociedad's fifth place finish.

If the game's rubbish...

Then check out Victor Lindelof's wag Maja Nilsson.

The pair wed in 2018, a year after Lindelof moved to Manchester United from Benfica for a reported £30million.

Maja actively supports her husband on social media but has made a name for herself through her work in marketing and her podcast, Livet På Läktaren (Life on the Stands).

We're not involved, says Pekida on Low Yat scuffle

  • Nation
  • Monday, 13 Jul 2015

Police speaking to the protestors outside Low Yat Plaza.

PETALING JAYA: Malay-Muslim group Pertubuhan Kebajikan dan Dakwah Islamiah Se-Malaysia (Pekida) has denied involvement in the Low Yat Plaza brawl.

"For Pekida, even before we hold any gathering, there has to be instructions first. In this case, no instructions were given,” said a representative of the organisation on Monday.

He also said that the Low Yat Plaza incident should be left to the police to investigate.

"As of now, we have not received a report on the incident. We are currently trying to get in touch with the authorities to receive the full facts of what had happened.

"Whatever it is, the matter has been handed over to the authorities, so that they may conduct investigations.

“With correct, fair and transparent investigations, I feel that the matter can be resolved, and any racial tension and elements that may seek to disrupt unity can be avoided," he added.

On Sunday, five people were injured including several journalists in a mob attack near Low Yat Plaza after police dispersed protesters at the shopping mall.

An eyewitness said a group of 50 to 60 men barged into a food outlet near the shopping mall and assaulted the patrons with motorcycle helmets at around midnight.

Earlier in the night, a group of about 100 gathered at the Low Yat Plaza following Saturday's melee between customers and sales clerks in a smartphone shop.

Police managed to contain the situation.

Do you know barkcloth? The vintage barkcloth we generally know today is a fabulous fabric from the 1940s, '50s and '60s. It is a cotton fabric made from a dense weaving process that results in a smooth backing and "nubby" top.

The original barkcloth, however, was a very thin fabric created from the bark of an Asian Pacific tree -- thus the name.

Growing up we had white and brown barkcloth curtains in our living room. I'm not sure where my mother got them, but I never really thought about it back then as many of our neighbors also had barkcloth curtains, just in different colors. One had avacodo green and another's was gold. All of those curtains are long gone now -- probably they were thrown away when the new styles of curtains arrived on the scene. It's too bad they didn't know what they had -- vintage barkcloth today can be rather expensive, and you really have to shop to find a good price.

There is new barkcloth made today, but of course, I prefer the vintage from the mid-20th Century. The designs were fresh and original. One example of these great designs is the barkcloth I found to create the half apron shown here.

Enjoy your research on barkcloth and maybe you can find some of it in a great print to create something special!

Five Minutes with the Founder  Anabela Chan

Tell us the story of how you built your brand

As a designer/maker trained artistically with no formal business training, I have built my brand organically with a defined vision, a lot of commonsense and gut instincts.  I founded my eponymous brand six years ago on graduation from the Royal College of Art, where I trained for my Master of Arts in Goldsmithing, Silversmithing and Jewellery; and launched my brand with Selfridges, The Conran Shop and Luisa Via Roma with five international awards from Vogue Talents, The Goldsmiths Craft and Design Council and Gemmological Association of Great Britain.  I presented private jewellery trunk shows around the world, from London, Paris to Milan, Hong Kong to Dubai before opening my first stand-alone boutique at the Ham Yard Hotel in Piccadilly Circus.

With no advertising and strictly discovered through word of mouth, our unique jewels are presented at some of the most prestigious boutiques in the world including Fortnum & Masons, Lane Crawford Hong Kong and Moda Operandi New York. This year, Beyonce, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Anne Hathaway, Julia Roberts, Lupita Nyong’o and Taylor Swift, amongst other global superstars, have all graced red carpet and events wearing our enchanting, statement pieces.

Why did you choose to set up your business in the luxury sector?

True luxury transcends time and space. Jewellery is empowering, it brings joy, inspires emotions and elevates the spirit like no other.  It is about offering inspiring, beautifully-crafted jewels with longevity; works of art that are proudly worn, loved and treasured forever from one generation to the another.

What is your favourite thing about your job? To be able to create magic and see women light up when wearing my creations.  My job allows me to travel far and wide; from meeting our global stockists and clients, to collecting inspirations, gems and treasures along the way from local markets, nature and the intriguing people I meet.  I’m a world traveller and explorer at heart.

What and/or who is your source of inspiration and motivation? When I founded my eponymous brand on graduation, it was my mission to offer a different perspective in the industry - I wanted to create equally beautiful and fabulous one-of-a-kind jewels using laboratory-grown and created gemstones without the conflict, humanitarian and environmental issues and untraceable provenance associated with mining.  I find a potent synergy in the juxtaposition of precious and non-precious, natural and man-made materials, it is luxury with a touch of humbleness. As a designer I choose to focus my work with lab-grown, created and recycled gemstones and metals; I also admire the work of other designers who champion recycled materials, who work solely with reputable mines and support small scale artisanal miners directly.  As with all design discipline, I believe it is about learning from the past, to offer a different perspective in the present, and always with a dream for a better future. As Maya Angelou said, ‘’Do the best you can until you know better.  And when you know better, do better.’'

If you could have any other job in the world what would it be?

Travel writer, photographer, documentary film producer.

If you could do something differently in your career what would it be?

I would love to be working from somewhere a little warmer, with more sunshine and in front of the sea or ocean.

Where do you see yourself and your company in 10 years’ time?

Still doing what I am doing today, perhaps with a few more boutiques around the world.

What does success look like to you?

Personally, success also looks like a relaxing, sunny afternoon with my children and husband doing the things we love together.

Professionally, to be able to do what I love, and make a difference in the world and touch on people’s lives where it matters most.  I’m not particularly spiritual, but I love this saying by the Dalai Lama, ‘We are all visitors on the planet.  We are only here for one hundred years at the very most.  During that period we must try to do something good, something useful, with our lives.  If you contribute to other people’s happiness, you will find the true meaning of life.’

What advice do you have for any young entrepreneurs looking to start their own business?

Follow your heart and passion, as it is the only path that you will be able to overcome obstacles after obstacles.  Common sense and your gut instincts go a long way, trust it explicitly.  You always know your business best.  And for working mothers –self-care is paramount - stay healthy and fit, as you will need plenty of stamina.

What is your greatest luxury under £10?

A fresh, blossoming peony flower or a pistachio and coconut gelato ice-cream on a hot sunny day in front of the glistening turquoise Mediterranean Sea.
Brands of Tomorrow is held in association with Mischon de Reya and moneycorp.

Government, Opposition Still at Odds Over Anti-gang Legislation

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad – Government and opposition appeared to be at loggerheads over the length of the sunset clause in an anti-gang legislation that the police said is necessary to combat the rising crime situation in Trinidad and Tobago.

The Opposition had failed to provide the necessary two-thirds majority needed for the Anti-Gang Bill when it was brought to the parliament late last year but later agreed to have the measure discussed with a view of re-introducing it to Parliament after it came under widespread criticism from the public.

But following a meeting here on Friday, Attorney General Faris Al Rawi accused the opposition delegation of indicating “that the clause be reduced to 18 months, even though the Opposition Leader had suggested two years”.

He said the opposition also suggested that “we go to a Joint Select Committee, which was not on the table at the parliamentary debate. This took me by surprise.”

But in a statement issued following the talks, the Office of the Leader of the Opposition described the meeting as “a positive step towards arriving at a legislative formula for the passage of critical legislation in the fight against crime that will meet with the approval of both the Government and the Opposition”

It said that the Opposition reiterated its call for a sunset clause “of no longer than 24 months.

“However there was no agreement on this issue. The Opposition maintained that the sunset clause is critical in order allow for the Parliament to review the manner in which the legislation is put into effect by law enforcement.”

The statement said that the “insertion of the sunset clause requiring the return of the legislation to the Parliament before the expiration of the time limit is important to ensure that those upon whom draconian powers are conferred do not abuse those powers to the detriment of the citizenry.

“The insistence for the insertion of the sunset ensures that there is a proportionate balance in the public interest of the powers conferred by this legislation,” the statement added.

But Al-Rawi told reporters that for the five years the anti-gang law has been existence, there has been no judicial criticism of the act.

“To have this law die in 18 months would be a tragedy. On the last occasion the Opposition had to review it, but they allowed it to lapse. So is Trinidad and Tobago to be thrown into turmoil with uncertainty? I really can see absolutely no reason other than politics for the anti-gang laws to be returned. They are not associated with the denial of bail, they are strictly in the contemplation of the court,” he said.

Al-Rawi said he was disappointed with the outcome of Friday’s meeting saying “today was a dead end in terms of what was offered on the table.

“It was a retreat from what was agreed in the Parliament itself. So what could be the possible failure of the anti-gang law be? “Come on, what more can be required to support this law?”

He said the country needs to step up to the Opposition to give the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service the power to arrest gang leaders and its members, noting that most of the 80 murders committed so far this year were gang related. – CMC

Public’s call of the wild. The Arizona Republic.

One Response to Public's call of the wild (on recent Mexican wolf survey)

  1. avatar Rick Hammel says:

    It is too bad that there are not more folks interested in the Mexican wolf and its plight with the FWS and ranchers. The The Arizona Republic did a good job in reporting this latest poll. We need more objective reporting in all aspects regarding wildlife issues.

"At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour."

Item Information

  • Abrasive surface with self adhesive backing
  • Hardwearing and easy to install
  • Gives additional grip to smooth surfaces
  • Suitable for ladder/stair treads, ramps, walkways, loading docks, boats & vehicles
  • Available in rolls

What is the Purpose of Gripfoot Tape?

This all-purpose adhesive works as a safeguard against all those unforeseen accidents that can occur around the workplace, at home, or even at play. The Gripfoot tape suits whatever location you have in mind to make safer. Think of all the areas that require a safe place to walk such as warehouse floors, sidewalks, ramps, boat docks, store fronts, loading zones and anywhere else with a flat surface prone to slippage. Imagine the damage that could occur if you or your worker slipped on a walkway that became slick. Not only would there be an injury but there would also legal ramifications that could be easily avoided.

The Gripfoot tape has an abrasive surface on one side that makes a perfect way to get a little more traction on those slippery zones. The other side is a powerful adhesive that adheres to just about any clean and dry surface. This means you don't need a large surface to apply it; it can just as easily work across large floors and ladder rungs.

Where Can This Product Be Used?

You'll find that this tape goes beyond what an industrial usage might be. You use this tape at the docks, on boats, on vehicle side-steps, in the loading zones, down storefront ramps, in cafes, and behind cashiers. This tape sticks so easily to any surface that you'll be looking for places to make safer, just because you can.

Who Might Use Gripfoot Tape?

Especially useful for store owners looking to improve their safety, Gripfoot tape is a ubiquitous product. It can be used by anybody at all, whether you own the store, you work in it, or you simply sometimes walk by.

Product Specifications

  • Peeled backing with strong adhesive and durable grit on the top side
  • Easy to install anywhere you need
  • Various widths from 25-152 mm

BBC News: Letter from Africa: Despair, anger and anxiety in Zimbabwe’s fuel queues

The journalist and lawyer Brian Hungwe reflects on the impact of inflation on the lives of Zimbabweans, where the price of fuel has more than doubled in an effort to deal with a shortage.

A petrol attendant serves a motorcyclist with two jerry cans attached to his motorbike at a fuel station,
Motorists have had to queue for hours to get fuel
I joined a queue for petrol at around 16:00 on Saturday afternoon. Dozens of cars made an orderly line stretching about 500m. The pace of the service was so excruciatingly slow that most of us made friends in an effort to keep boredom at bay.

Anger over price rise

By the time I got to within 100m to the petrol pump – about five cars ahead of me – it was an hour before midnight, but the fuel attendants suddenly shut the pumps, packed up their bags and left. You can imagine the murmurs of despair, anger, and anxiety. News had filtered in that President Emmerson Mnangagwa had put up the price of fuel by more than 100% to take effect at midnight. Those lucky enough to have bought their fuel before us could only thank the heavens.
A protesters burns tyres on a road during a "stay-away" demonstration against the doubling of fuel prices
Protesters in Harare and Bulawayo blocked roads and lit fires to express their anger over the new fuel prices
The reason for the hike, the government said, was to avert fuel shortages that have created national angst. The hike means petrol prices rose from $1.24 (£0.97) a litre to $3.31 , with diesel up from $1.36 a litre to $3.11. Zimbabweans were not pleased by these changes, hundreds of them went to the streets of the capital, Harare and the southern city of Bulawayo, to protest against the new prices.
Quote: If I pick groceries worth $20 I could opt to use bond notes, but the bill will be 60 bond notes
The sudden increase is symptomatic of price distortions Zimbabweans have to deal with on a daily basis. The price of fuel is fixed by the authorities. Unlike other businesses, fuel stations have to sell petrol at the same price in US dollars and the surrogate currency – bond notes – introduced more than two years ago to address a cash crisis.

Thriving black market

The government maintains that bond notes, which is only traded in Zimbabwe, is pegged to the US dollar. But the reality of the ground is different. There is a thriving black market where three bond notes fetch one US dollar.
Bond notes
Bond notes were introduced in 2016 to address a currency crisis
The current situation reminds everyone of the pre-2009 era when inflation went into the stratosphere – reaching 231m% in six months before the Zimbabwe dollar was abandoned for international currencies like the US dollar and the South African rand. You have to walk into a supermarket to see the price distortions at work. If I pick groceries worth $20 I will be given a choice of how to pay for the items. I could opt to use bond notes, but the bill will be 60 bond notes. Or I could pay electronically with my card – and 70 bond notes would be deducted from my account as each electronic transaction is now subject to tax. Doctors and other civil servants, whose salaries are paid in bond notes, are angry – and some even went on strike to demand that they get paid in dollars as their salaries cannot keep up with the inflation. There are many businesses which are only accepting payment in US dollars – including private schools. If doctors were to get their wish they would have to open up a separate foreign exchange account. This is because ordinary bank accounts no longer handle US dollars.
A man gestures as angry protesters barricade the main route to Zimbabwe"s capital Harare from Epworth township on January 14 2019 after announced a more than hundred percent hike in fuel prices
Protesters say that the government has been unable to handle the economic problems
Three years back, one could withdraw as much as $2,500 from a cash machine. Now they only supply bond notes – and each account holder can only withdraw 20 bond notes a day. Queues outside banks are therefore a common sight as Zimbabweans use other ingenious ways to get access to their money. The government also tries as much as it can to get its hand on foreign currency, expatriates and tourists for example are required to pay for goods and services using US dollars. Other lucky Zimbabweans get money sent by relatives overseas to help them navigate the economic challenges.
People queue to withdraw money outside a bank in Harare, Zimbabwe,
Long queues have been a common sight outside banks in Zimbabwe
Consequently, Zimbabweans have not taken to the bond notes. The currency is being blamed for the inflation crisis and the price distortions that have become a headache for consumers and industry alike. But these distortions were predictable. If you talk to economists, they will tell you something about Gresham’s law, which occurs when two different currencies are given the same value.

Cash under the mattress

The principal is “bad money drives out good”, in other words, one currency will become more desired than the other. In the case of Zimbabwe and the US dollar, the desired currency disappeared as many withdrew their US dollar cash from the bank, and kept the notes under their mattresses. Most banks ran out of it, worsening a biting cash crisis. Just after the military intervention that ousted President Robert Mugabe in November 2017 Zimbabweans were obsessed by debates around economic reforms. Suddenly everyone became an economist. But the investment has not come flooding in as was expected. Investors may still be spooked by the nature of the military’s hand in the government.

Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa has been struggling to revive the county’s economy
The euphoria that ushered in President Emmerson Mnangagwa, or ED – as he is affectionately known – has ebbed and he is now walking a tightrope. Finance Minister Mthuli Ncube says he wants to reintroduce the Zimbabwean dollar by the end of this year. Experts say this would allow the central bank to control inflation more effectively and it will be good for the economy. “The current dollarised scenario where we are having to import foreign currency for local use is unsustainable as current foreign exchange generation is not enough to meet the country’s import demands,” economic analyst Persistence Gwanyanya told the state-run Herald newspaper. But frustration is growing daily, with many Zimbabweans fed up that the post-Robert Mugabe era is not living up to the high expectations.

Taking you from 0 to 1.

Step1. Workshop

You have a digital product in mind and you want to take it to the next level? We’re here to help you build the value proposition that will bring real value to your users. This is an essential step in digital creation. After participating in this workshop, you'll be better equipped to define your product and develop a value proposition for it.

Step 2. Product Design

In order for you to be perfectly sure of how the app is going to look and feel, we’ll create a prototype based on the direction given by the value proposition of the product. Based on your feedback, our designer will turn wireframes into design, create the visual style guide for your brand and translate them into fully detailed user stories. Our workshop will help to reduce the time between feedback rounds and, in just a few days, we can define the style that will be used throughout the whole design process.

Product Design

Step 3. Development

After the workshop has ended, the development team will have the user stories needed to create a fully functional version of the application. Depending on your requirements, they can create a stripped down MVP, designed to be showcased to investors and early adopters. They can also create a feature-rich version designed to impress every user. The full stack development team can provide the best technical solution for the product and adapt it based on your requirements. We are well versed in behaviour-driven development as well as test-driven development, so we intend to make sure that the product is both stable and has high level of quality.

Step 4. MVP Launch

The launch is one of the most important aspects of the software development project. While it’s a time to celebrate the accomplishments, it’s also a time when support is needed, regardless of the type of project involved. As new users arrive on the platform, we’ll provide support by fine-tuning the application, based on the users’ needs. Customer satisfaction is key to accomplishing the value proposition of the product.

MVP Launch

Step 5. Beyond

This is the optional step where you decide if the product has reached the needed level or if you wish to expand it. We offer a similar workshop in which we work together to create the features needed for the product to be moved in a certain direction, based on the user feedback received post-launch. At the same time, you have to consider the maintenance work, but that depends very much on the type of product. We’ll be here to provide you with the tech expertise regarding the future needs of the product.

Why should I work with you instead of hiring my own team?
Since your business is at the beginning, it’s best to start with someone who has done this dozen of times before. We’ll help you get market validation before you need to look for the right people.
How will we work when we are not in the same office?
We’ll have daily calls to ensure that your project is on track and other updates will be sent via email at least twice a week. You’re also in charge of reviewing our work at the end of every milestone.
What if it will take more than the planned time?
We work with a fixed budget. If you are involved, participate in calls & team meetings, provide constant feedback and still, your project takes more than the agreed time frame, we will support all the consequences of going over budget.
Who can help me develop the app once I have the Design Prototype?
The nice thing about our Design & Prototyping Sprints is that the end result is ready for development. You can develop it with whom you’ll find fit (hire experts, work with external providers, etc.). FYI – we’ve delivered over 70 development projects.

Performance Matters – Potentials of Performance – Of Things in Motion and Things at Rest

Artist/Author: João Florêncio with Devin King | Reference: D2028 | Type: DVD

British Library Sound Archive recording and documentation of Potentials of Performance events (26-27 October 2012). This third themed year of the Performance Matters project features a vibrant series of commissions exploring and exploding the dialogue as a potential format for thinking through and testing possible futures. Of Things in Motion and Things at Rest sets thoughts and actions in motion on the stage in a path towards a speculative performance encounter with the realm of the nonhuman and the secret lives held within it. Through sonic exploration of mundane objects, we aim to highlight how existent ideas of performative agency can be re-applied and re-thought with and through objects.

Current Limit and Short-Circuit Operation

The LM63635-Q1 incorporates both peak and valley inductor current limits to provide protection to the device from overloads and short circuits and limit the maximum output current. Valley current limit prevents inductor current run-away during short circuits on the output, while both peak and valley limits work together to limit the maximum output current of the converter. A "hiccup" type mode is also incorporated for sustained short circuits. Finally, a zero current detector is used on the low-side power MOSFET to implement DEM at light loads (see the Glossary). The nominal value of this limit is about 0 A.

As the device is overloaded, a point is reached where the valley of the inductor current cannot reach below ILS-LIMIT before the next clock cycle. When this occurs, the valley current limit control skips that cycle, causing the switching frequency to drop. Further overload causes the switching frequency to continue to drop, but the output voltage remains in regulation. As the overload is increased, both the inductor current ripple and peak current increase until the high-side current limit, ISC, is reached. When this limit is activated, the switch duty cycle is reduced and the output voltage falls out of regulation. This represents the maximum output current from the converter and is given approximately by Equation 3. The output voltage and switching frequency continue to drop as the device moves deeper into overload while the output current remains at approximately IOMAX. If the inductor ripple current is large, the high-side current limit can be tripped before the low-side limit is reached. In this case, Equation 4 gives the approximate maximum output current.

Equation 3. GUID-090141BD-B1E6-4061-9650-CE45EFFBFB8C-low.gif
Equation 4. GUID-692A14DB-784E-4993-955C-FA72F35721F4-low.gif

If a severe overload or short circuit causes the FB voltage to fall below VHICCUP, the convert enters "hiccup" mode. VHICCUP represents about 40% of the nominal programmed output voltage. In this mode, the device stops switching for tOC, or about 100 ms, and then goes through a normal restart with soft start. If the short-circuit condition remains, the device runs in current limit for a little longer than tOC_active, or about 23 ms, and then shuts down again. This cycle repeats (as shown in Figure 8-13) as long as the short-circuit condition persists. This mode of operation reduces the temperature rise of the device during a sustained short on the output. The output current in this mode is approximately 20% of IOMAX. Once the output short is removed and the tOC delay is passed, the output voltage recovers normally as shown in Figure 8-14.

See Figure 8-15 for the overall output voltage versus output current characteristic.

Jetstar is offering $19 flights around Australia from July

Get 'em quick.

Written by
Divya Venkataraman

In an absurd turn of events, you can now fly around the country for about the same as it costs you to take the public transport from each of Melbourne or Sydney's CBDs to the airport. It's an indictment on airport transport taxes, sure, but more importantly, it means you can get a sweet, sweet deal on your first post-lockdown holiday.

Jetstar is offering flights around the country from $19 for a heap of destinations, including routes like Sydney to Melbourne, Sydney to Brisbane, Sydney to Cairns in North Queensland, and Melbourne to Byron Bay. The flights are available for travel between July 10 to October 31. Check here for the details – you can book now.

Now, Jetstar may be offering flights for cheap, but that doesn't mean much if you'll have to spend 14 days alone at home before you can explore the state you've landed in. So it's worth noting which states and territories have lifted virus travel restrictions. You don't need a permit or to isolate when entering New South Wales, Victoria or the ACT. Queensland's borders are scheduled to open on July 10, however, Western Australia's are closed for the foreseeable future. The Northern Territory and Tasmania are still insisting that travellers self-isolate for 14 days once they enter the state, whereas South Australia, has selectively opened up its borders and is allowing residents of WA, Tasmania and the Northern Territory in so far. The rest of the country is expected to be able to follow suit on July 20.

In the meantime, check out these cosy winter getaway destinations around Victoria

The mainspring

The mainspring is the power source for all mechanical watches. Traditionally, clocks were powered, firstly by water and secondly by the power of gravity pulling on a weight. Neither of these options is practical for a portable timepiece. For example, imagine walking down the street with a bucket of water balanced on your wrist? It’s not very practical and you are likely to have permanently wet feet.

A mainspring is a spiral metal spring used as a power source in mechanical watches and clockwork mechanisms. Winding the timepiece, by turning the crown or a key, stores energy in the mainspring by twisting the spiral tighter. The force of the mainspring then turns the watch’s gear wheels as it unwinds. Eventually, the mainspring will fully unwind and the watch will stop, requiring winding again for the watch to work.

Mainsprings appeared in the first spring-powered clocks in 15th-century Europe. It replaced the weight hanging from a cord wrapped around a pulley, which was the gravity power source used in all previous mechanical clocks. Springs were applied to clocks to make them smaller and more portable than the previous weight-driven clocks. Eventually, the technology improved to the point that mainsprings were small enough to make the first practical pocket watches in the 16th century.

The first mainsprings were made of steel without tempering or hardening processes. They didn’t run very long, had to be wound twice a day and were very inaccurate. One of the problems with the early mainsprings was that the force provided by a spring is not constant, but diminishes as the spring unwinds. However, timepieces have to run at a constant rate in order to keep accurate time. So early pocket watches slowed down during their running period as the mainspring ran down, causing inaccurate timekeeping.

The most common solution used in antique pocket watches for this problem was the fusee movement. This was a gear-like system that applied minimal mechanical leverage when the watch was fully wound. As the mainspring wound down, and the power reduced, the fusee would compensate by increased mechanical leverage. Because of the geared system, timing keeping was more consistent.

How does the mainspring work?

The mainspring is a spiral strip of metal contained in a circular component called the barrel. The outer end of the mainspring is hooked to the inner wall of the barrel. The inner end of the spring is hooked onto the arbor, an axle, within the barrel. The spring will cause either the barrel to turn or allow the arbor to turn independently inside the barrel. By turning the arbor or the barrel the spring can be wound up, storing the energy that makes the watch run.

The barrel arbor is made wider in diameter where the mainspring hooks onto it so that the spring is not bent too sharply at its inner end. This larger diameter element does not have to be made as part of the barrel arbor. It can be made as a separate component called a ‘collet’, which is the French word for a collar. Together, this would be referred to as the arbor collet.

In antique pocket watches with “going barrels” the barrel has teeth on the outside that drive the gear train. To wind the mainspring the arbor is turned, via a key or the crown, so that the spring is wound around the arbor. However, in watches with fusee movements, the outside of the barrel is smooth and one end of the fusee chain is secured to it. Teeth on the bottom of the fusee drive the gear train. As the watch runs and the fusee turns, the chain is drawn off the fusee onto the barrel. To wind the watch the fusee is turned, not the barrel arbor. This draws the chain back and makes the barrel rotate about its arbor, which winds the mainspring.

Fully wound going barrel.

Carbon steel

Carbon steel was the only material in use for mainsprings for over 450 years. As a result, it had a couple of problems that were never overcome by improvements in the material or technology. Mainsprings made from hardened and tempered carbon steel are prone to breaking due to metal fatigue over many years of use. This often occurred when they were fully wound and their torque was at the maximum. As a result, when they broke, the sudden energy release could strip teeth from wheels or damage jewel bearings. The other problem is that carbon steel springs are not eternally elastic and over time they become less flexible. This means their curvature becomes set and can store less energy.

Mainsprings can also be dangerous when taking apart the movement. Because they store a lot of energy when wound and, when released from the barrel, can fly out and cause serious injury. Always, make sure the mainspring is fully unwound before working on an antique pocket watch movement.
