Julie at Happy Catholic and Denise at Catholic Matriarch in my Own Domestic Church really have had me thinking all week about how we all touch each other in our puttering through life, and about how much God touches us all, whether we call it that or not.

I am blessed to have a job that has opened my eye to God’s presence more than I can explain. I’m a parish employee, and I have made unlikely friends and gotten to know dear people who I would have never crossed paths with, if not for this wonderful opportunity. As a parish employee, I also see the turmoil and the conflict of things a little closer than I’d like, and there are times that I field calls at home (or let them go to voice mail, I admit). However, overwhelmingly, my office job has given me a lens to spy on God and see some of his work up close.

For one thing, I bring my child to work with me. This is the best (and worst?) of both worlds: no fuming about daycare (and no paying for it!), no being trapped in my own house (which would not be good for the mental health of any of us!).

I also have the joy of working for a priest. (Well, as we always maintain, The Boss is the guy upstairs…Father often tells me he’s “going to chat with The Boss” or “off to see the wizard” before he leaves for prayers.) And this is not just any priest. This is the priest who convinced me to become Catholic. This is the priest who is like a family member to me. This is the dear bachelor in my life, who has to pay someone to nag him, who has given his life to God. We were joking about who had a better mother-in-law the other day (he wins). Everyday has a laugh within it, and I have him to thank for that.

For another thing, I gain the wisdom of those who have gone before me. I talk to women many times throughout my day, and this collection of angels has taught me more than all my years of schooling. They have encouraged me with my daughter, with interpersonal conflicts, with my lack of cooking skills. They have prayed with me and for me, and showed me that the best way to be friends is by praying together. These women call just when I need them to (coincidence? I think not!), they send me cards or emails to boost my spirits, and they turn around during Mass to smile and give me a thumbs-up when my daughter’s trying to single-handedly carry the entire choir’s responsibility (at the Eucharistic prayer, I might add). These are the women who lecture me if I leave Mass due to a touchy toddler, and the women who hear the tears in my voice when I’m sending an email. These women, along with my really amazing husband and his sisters, have proven to me that I CAN be a mother, that I AM good enough to do a great job, that

Being a parish employee has made me a peeping Tom of sorts. I hear about those people my age who have cancer, and don’t want anyone to know it. Then I hear “Praise God for the miracle” and find out that everything is going to be OK. I see a young husband die, leaving three children and a wife, along with much extended family, and I also see the response of our parish family, defining family in the very best sense of the word. (“Oh, the phone’s been disconnected? We’ll just stop over with flowers and dinner.”) I wonder to myself if I’m on the right path with my life, and I receive no less than three visits, phone calls, emails, and random communications that confirm to me that yes, my ministry here is for a reason and for a higher purpose. (God must be driving, because I sure wouldn’t be able to do any of this without him!) I hear about the miraculous conceptions and see the miraculous babies born and raised.

But I also see the cancer that doesn’t get a miraculous cure. I see the couple who cannot have a child. I share the pain of the family that lost a parent, and I feel empathy for the woman who’s out of communion with the church right now, awaiting news of her annulment.

Sometimes, I feel like I’m sitting really close to where God must sit. I think I get a glimpse of heaven in the joy of a young mother, in the unexpected laughter of a baby, in the hug of a priest to a child. I can share my joy in my Catholic faith, and I receive the joy of others and in turn grow.

When my job and my life are difficult, presenting hurdles and challenges, there’s always a reminder to take it to God. When things are going well, there’s always someone to share in the joy, and someone else who needs some joy. My call to prayer and my call to ministry are one and the same. It is this call that makes these close encounters possible, I think. And it’s the close encounters that make me come back for more. You might say I’m addicted to them…

Larry D. Williams

April 09, 1939 ‒ April 24, 2018

Delaware, Ohio

Larry D. Williams, age 79 of Delaware passed away at home, Tuesday morning April 24, 2018.

He was born on April 9, 1939 in Delaware to the late Paul and Frances (Brown) Williams.

Introduced at their high school prom, he married the former Mary Louise (Warner) in 1964 and together they have shared 53 wonderful years through life’s journey.

In addition to his beloved wife Mary Louise, he is also survived by daughters: Leanne M. Koontz and Kris (Anita) Sparks, granddaughter Annie Koontz, brother Paul (Lorraine) Williams, sister Barbara (Robert) Andrews, sisters-in-laws Harriett Melvin, Jeanette (David) Maxwell, as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins.

After leaving Willis High School, where he played track, football, and baseball in 1958, he went into the Ohio National Guard. In 1964, he began working for Dennison Engineering. Then went on to work as a Delaware County Sheriff Deputy.

In 1967, Larry began working for Northern Ohio Phone Company, which later became G.T.E., where he retired after 30 years of service. Into retirement he ran the mail room at Worthington Industries.

Larry was a member of St. Mary Church, Delaware Moose, Eagles, and AMVETS Post 104. Knowing every statistic of Ohio State University football, he was an avid fan of OSU and the Cleveland Browns. He was anxiously awaiting the NFL draft.  Computer wise, he enjoyed playing golf and old time Western movies.

Quick witted, he was fun loving, and a true people person. Simply put he was a nice guy who will be remembered for his charm and love of family.

Friends may call Friday from 11:00 am until 2:00 pm at the Snyder-Rodman Funeral Center, 101 Valleyside Dr. at W. William St, where services will follow at 2:00 p.m. with Rev. Michael Watson officiating. Burial will follow at a later date in St. Mary Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, please donate in honor of Larry to Ohio Health Home Reach, www.ohiohealth.com/homereach, 404 E. Wilson Bridge Road, Suite H, Worthington, Ohio 43085.

Condolences may be expressed at www.snyderfuneralhomes.com

  • Dear Mary Louise and Family,
    We are very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
    Sandi and George Bordick

Our Story

Our Story

In 1994, our founders saw a need for a local Missouri internet provider. They ignored some initial skepticism from friends and family – the internet was, after all “just a fad” - and started Socket, providing basic dial-up internet service out of a small office in Columbia.

Demand for internet access grew rapidly. By 1999, Socket had more than 30,000 customers and relocated to two office spaces on Cherry Street in downtown Columbia. (Those spaces are now Glenn's Cafe and studio apartments!)

As dial-up internet peaked, Socket looked to ways to keep its business moving forward. The company began offering high-speed internet and later became a CLEC (competitive local exchange carrier). With the expansion of business telephone and other advanced services, rapid growth ensued, and Socket was named one of the nation’s fastest growing companies by Inc. Magazine.

Socket continued to expand, moving in 2007 to an office on Clark Lane in Columbia. Residential telephone service and Naked DSL internet were introduced, resulting in more expansion.

Socket began work in 2011 on a brand new fiber-optic network to reach homes and businesses in rural Callaway County and Fulton. Socket has been expanding this fiber network ever since, now reaching several Missouri cities. Thousands of customers enjoy reliable, high-speed internet as a result.

Today, Socket employs approximately 160 people, with offices in Columbia and St. Peters. We’re proud to be Missouri's local telecommunications provider, and we plan on bringing state-of-the-art technology and friendly, local support to as many homes and businesses as possible.

We look forward to serving you!

The injection of fillers has become one of the most administered treatments in the field of aesthetics.

Since a few years ago, the sole treatment of wrinkles performed classically has been progressively replaced by a deeper volumizing approach (fat loss of jowls and temporal areas, sagging of the lower part of the face, deep wrinkles etc…). This approach aims to restore the natural features of the face, without the exaggerated appearance many have come to expect with the conventional type of injections. The final result for patients using fillers is a much more natural, subtle and beautiful look.

Associated with this newer method of treatment, some revolutionary techniques were developed based on the work of anti-aging experts: the Soft Filling Technique and the STOP Facial Ageing Method™. These techniques are performed in order to treat patients without pain or complications. The entire face can be treated, as well as the neck, chest, and hands for both women and men. These methods use the SoftFil® blunt-tip needles, which can be compared to thin fibers sliding softly into the skin tissue.

The Soft Filling Technique : for natural and immediate results

The Soft Filling Technique

The Soft Filling Technique is able:
 to give some volume back to the face, lips
 the correction of wrinkles in a very subtle way.

The technique allows the treatment of the face as a whole, restoring its natural features. The patient’s face is treated using only a few insertion points, typically 2 to 4, on each side of the face.

The SoftFil needles are flexible and manufactured with a blunt tip, allowing for a soft penetration into the skin. The needles can slide in the under layer of the dermis without damaging the blood vessels.

Main entry points

How is the treatment done?

The face is observed as a whole by areas:
 General look
 Volume losses
 Aging areas

Each area is treated from a unique insertion point, thanks to a SoftFil®, blunt tip needle, and is massaged firmly to distribute the injected product inside the skin.

Different types of fillers are available on the market. Each practitioner has the freedom of choice based on his treatment habits.

Some filler product is injected into the different layers of the skin, either superficially or deeply, or both. This provides a more durable and more homogenous result.

STOP Facial Ageing Method™

STOP Facial Ageing Method™

With age, the face ages on 3 levels:
 Bone structure: Facial V inversion
 Fat pads: Loss of volume
 Skin: Tissue atrophy

To preserve a natural and harmonious facial appearance with a redefined facial contour by volumizing and providing the lifting effect, the STOP Facial Ageing Method™ is an approach based on a scaffolding that precisely indicates the areas to fill, with a sole injection point by hemiface.

 Deep One Point technique: The lifting effect is instantaneous, facial architecture is restores and the oval line of the face is more pronounced
 Superficial One Point technique: The volumes are restored, superficial wrinkles are smoothed, and a remarkable lifting effect is achieved through reharmonisation of the skin’s surface. The face is hydrated and radiant, wrinkles and fine lines are filled.

How is the treatment done?

The protocol combines two complementary techniques: the Deep One Point technique (DOP) and the Superficial One Point Technique (SOP), promoting facial rejuvenation with very natural, comprehensive results.

 The Deep One Point technique works on the deep plane to restructure facial architecture by restoring volumes and treating ptosis
 The Superficial One Point technique acts on both the superficial and deeper hypodermic planes to add volume and provide optimal tissue hydration

What does a role as head of albums at Toolroom Records involve?

28th April 2017

Lou Cooper is a BA (Hons) Popular Music Journalism graduate. We caught up with her to find out how her degree helped shape her career and what her current role as head of albums at Toolroom Records involves.

You were a Popular Music Journalism student, yet after graduation you went into record labels. When and how did you realise you wanted to change paths from journalism to music business?
It wasn’t so much that I wanted to change paths from journalism to the music business. When leaving university, I initially applied for lots of journalism and PR based roles and sent my CV into all the major music mags, but after not having much success I decided to broaden my search into the other aspect of my degree and focus more on music as a whole.

Do you think the course helped you get to where you are now?
Yes. It definitely helped with my written and communication skills and gave me a greater understanding of how the music business works. However, in my current role, I don’t really do much journalism-based work apart from writing press releases and pitching music to press, so everything I now know about record labels and the music business is mainly self learnt on the job.

Your first professional job after university was label manager at Three Six Zero Group, which is an international entertainment and music management company. You also assisted on mau5trap – Deadmau5’s label. How did you land the job right after graduating?
When I left uni it was initially very hard to find any work in the journalism sector. After three months and no success getting a job in journalism I started to broaden my search. I saw an ad in the local newspaper that Three Six Zero were recruiting for staff, albeit in the accounting department. It wasn’t what I wanted to go into, but I thought it could open up other doors into the music industry if I could secure the job. After impressing at the interview, the company decided my skills would be wasted in the accounting department and I would be of better use in the London office working in the music department as a label assistant on Deadmau5, Calvin Harris, Sasha and Steve Angello’s (Swedish House Mafia) labels.

Did you do work experience/internships while at uni that helped develop your career?
Yes, I did work experience in my second year at uni. I wanted to focus solely on something that was going to give me a better understanding of the industry and a more hands-on approach to journalism. I spent a week at Division PR, a promotions company who have worked with an extensive roster of artists including Calvin Harris, The Who, MGMT, Sub Focus, Pendulum, Nero, Placebo, The Damned, Black Sabbath, Enter Shikari, Moby, and We Are Scientists. As well as offering PR services, the company also had their own music site, Caught in the Crossfire, on which I landed my first published album reviews for Pendulum’s 2010 album Immersion and Noisia’s Split the Atom. The experience definitely gave me a good insight into the PR world and made me even more determined to knuckle down and do better in my degree and pursue a career in music.

You are head of albums at Toolroom Records, one of the leading dance music labels. What helped you develop within the company and land the successful role?
After leaving Three Six Zero, I decided to go freelance for a while and set up my own label consultancy business offering PR, marketing, social media management and day-to-day administration for record labels. Within a couple of months I was label managing John Dahlback’s label Mutants, where I was securing radio placement and interviews on Radio 1; features for online and print press; and writing press releases and promoting each release. After a successful five months running Mutants, I saw the job advertised for album coordinator at Toolroom and applied and got the job. Within 18 months the directors of Toolroom felt I was really excelling in my role and told me they wanted me to head up the department and manage the rest of the albums team.

Would you say professional and career development has a lot to do with self-initiative?
I would definitely say career development has a lot to do with self-initiative. I wouldn’t have got to where I am now if I hadn’t constantly challenged myself to perform better and proved to others around me that I was fully motivated and committed to my job. You have to be constantly thinking outside the box for new ideas and keep pushing yourself to always do better.

Do you think your knowledge in journalism has helped you stand out and give you some extra insight into the industry?

What’s a usual day at work? What do you get up to?
A usual day/week consists of meetings with the brand and design team to work out the best strategies to promote each release and brief them on artwork for the albums; meetings with the music team to schedule in releases and decide which new music we want to sign from artists; listening to demos; licensing music from other labels for the albums; signing off approval on digital, CD and vinyl artwork for each release; writing press releases for each album; making label copies and building tracklistings for albums; day-to-day emails with artists, managers and labels; cutting up DJ mixes in SoundForge ready for CD manufacturing; creating and sending out promo CDs to press; and uploading releases to send to all digital and streaming stores.

What are your experiences with the common notion that the music industry is very much male-dominated?
The music industry is very male-dominated. Both companies I’ve worked at since leaving university have had a much greater male to female ratio and most of the people I do business with on a daily basis, ie, label managers, artists, booking agents, artist managers are predominantly men, but then it’s been that way for a long time. I do think it’s slowly changing though; in the last couple of years I’ve started to have more contact with female managers and I’ve seen more women speaking on panels at conferences and music events. Hopefully this will increase even more over the next decade.

What are some of your greatest professional accomplishments this far?
Working on deadmau5, Calvin Harris, Sasha and Steve Angello’s labels was pretty insane straight out of uni. Becoming head of albums at Toolroom. Having two number 1 albums on iTunes. Having two albums nominated for IDMAs (International Dance Music Awards) in 2015 and 2016. Twenty four Beatport number 1 selling albums, and winning Best-Selling Album of the Year on Beatport two consecutive years in a row.

What can you suggest to students who want to go into the record label business?
You have to have a strong passion and ambition to succeed in the music industry. It’s a very cutthroat business, but as long as you’re committed and focused on what it is you want to achieve and set yourself goals, you will get there. It can be a tough industry to break into, but don’t give up, and make sure you exercise enthusiasm and determination in everything you do.

Is there anything glamorous about working at a record company? Do you get to meet many big acts, go to events, shows?
I go to most of the Toolroom events we do in London which always have such a good vibe - our fan base is incredible! It’s good to meet the artists at each show and build up a stronger relationship with them. I get VIP or guest list entry to most events and festivals which is awesome - I once met Muse at a Nero gig which was a bit surreal. I also get to travel to various music conferences throughout the year including an annual trip to Amsterdam for ADE (Amsterdam Dance Event).

Who’s the most exciting new act for you this year?
That’s a tricky one as there’s so much great talent about at the minute. I’d say in dance music it would have to be Solardo. The production duo from Manchester have shot up the charts this year and their recent EP on Jamie Jones’ and Lee Foss’ Hot Creations imprint offers the perfect rolling B-lines and tribal influenced drums with exotic chants and a stripped back groove.

Outside of dance music, I’ve been a massive fan of Viola Beach’s album. It was devastating to hear the tragic news of the car accident that claimed both theirs and their manager’s lives, they would have gone on to do great things for sure!

What should you do with an old phone?

If you’re currently reading this on a new phone, it’s very likely that you still have the old one at home. A whooping 10 million old phones can still be found in nordic homes and many of these are fully functioning while the rest of them could be used for many other purposes. A whole 90% of old phones can be recycled so don’t just throw your old phone in the trash, give it new life. Before considering selling or recycling your phone, make sure you have iCloud activated and back up your cellphone, so you won’t lose anything important or to simply ease your mind. After that you should delete your personal information just to be certain that no one else has access to anything sensitive. After completing these 2 steps you’re ready to bring it back to life and this can be done in 2 easy ways; selling or recycling.

If it’s still working, you can easily sell it through a website that’ll help you evaluate what it’ll cost and also help you find a new owner. If there aren’t any takers due to damage or similar, you can recycle it. Cellphones contain a range of valuable materials and parts including silver that can be retracted and reused as well as battery connectors to name a few. These parts can be used to either make new fancy phones or be used in other appliances like a new coffee-machine.

While recycling might seem obvious to some, to most it seems too much of a hassle. Therefore, we’ve made a short list with a few reasons to recycle your old phone that’ll hopefully convince you;

  • Help create a sustainable environment
  • You can earn some extra bucks
  • Your phone could be useful to someone else

Sustainable environment

If you want to help prevent damage to nature and the environment, recycling is a great option. While cellphone production is ranked fairly high in sustainability, leaving your phone to simply decay on its own could be harmful to the environment due to toxic materials leaking. Every year 4 million cellphones are sold in Sweden even though 97% of the population already own a phone. This makes Swedes some of the best in acquiring the latest model. While many give their phones away or sell them, most of us still have one or 2 just lying around in your drawer. According to Swedish law, producers are accountable for cellphone recycling; that it’s done in a correct manner and managed by El-Kretsen. Also, nowadays most phone operators regularly offer their customer a discount when turning in your old phone and buying a new phone, leading us to the next point.

Make some money

The pressure to keep up with the latest and best technology leaves most people with fully functioning phones just lying around. If it’s still working, sell it! Is the screen cracked? Don’t worry, it can often be refurbished or stripped of valuable parts. While you probably won’t get enough for the latest iPhone X, it will definitely help pay for it. There are a few different options of doing this; finding your own buyer, selling through a company that actually works to sell old iPhones or turn it in when buying a new phone. Most phone companies today offer you the ability to trade in your old phone and get a discount on a new one, this can be done with fairly new as well as broken ones, and you know you’re putting in the payment for something that you’re actually interested in. Either way you go about it, you can earn some extra money, and you might even have 2 in your home that you can turn in.

Help a fella out

While tech-savvy Swedes may think the latest phone is a given, to most it’s not. Even though the world is becoming increasingly more technically advanced, globalization isn’t always necessarily inclusive, at least with the latest model. For example; approximately 2 percent of African households have landlines, but the number of cellphones is as roughly as common as they are in the states with about 90% owning a cellphone in some parts of Africa. It should however be noted that this usually includes basic feature phones. Every item stripped when recycling and every refurbished phone can be used to make technology more accessible to those who lack it and can’t afford the latest model. In essence, this means you can earn some money while helping someone else out, what’s not to love?

Recycle with Soluno

Maybe you’ve bought hardware or products from us or checked out our web-shop, but did you know that we also offer to recycle your old hardware? In the web-shop you can get a plastic bag to fill your old hardware with, worth mentioning is that you may only fill one bag with one piece of hardware and enter it’s serial number. After that you send it to the given adress and they’ll take care of it. After shipping, the unit is unpacked, information is deleted and thereafter it’s recycled in best possible way for the environment.

  2. Click General
  3. Click erase
  4.  Click erase all content and settings
  5. If you have Find my iPhone active, you might have to enter your Apple ID and password.
  6. At the last step you will have to enter your passcode, and then click erase iPhone.

Where do I go?

I took my spAIRtray on a month-long trip to France, Spain, Italy and Germany. It fit in the limited space of my carry-on bag, and worked on every plane I flew on; from prop-planes to jumbo-jets. I love my spAIRtray, and always keep it  in my carry-on for my next tip!

         - Giselle B., October 2017

Frequently Asked Questions

 We are always interested to see what planes you have taken the spAIRtray on; please contact us if you see a plane missing from our chart.

What do Flight Attendants think?

I've had almost every Flight Attendant comment on how neat it was. In the last 50 or so flights I've used it: four asked where they could get one for themselves and only one objected. Said she had "just never seen one before and wanted to make sure it wasn't a safety risk. It's actually really neat!" - N. Orlando, June 2017

What is the FAA's position on the spAIRtray?

The Federal Aviation Administration does not prohibit passenger comfort items such as the spAIRtray. - FAA Inspector DK Deaderick

Can I still use the window shade while the tray is installed?

Does the tray interfere with the reclined seat in front of you?

The window shade slides all the way to the top of the back-plate, which, effectively, serves as the rest of the window shade. You may have a tiny sliver of light, depending on which model of plane you're on - depending on the shape of the window, but I've not had it be an issue... on hundreds of flights. - A&K, June 2017

Not at all. The tray is attached to the window, not the seat.  - M. E. Brown, April 2017

Is the grip-pad sticky or magnetic?

Neither, it's just really grippy. - J. Howe, June 2017

I can actually see myself using the spAIRtray while I’m travelling. This is a product that can improve my air travel experience, so I’m giving the spAIRtray my ‘thumbs up’ and I’m sure we’ll be seeing them on planes all over the world!

Election Day is November 3rd! Make sure your voice is heard

Number the Stars

Chapters V–VII

Summary Chapters V–VII

Chapter V: Who Is the Dark-Haired One?

Annemarie and Ellen prepare to go to bed in Annemarie's room. Ellen asks if Annemarie thinks soldiers will come to search the apartment. Annemarie does not think so. Ellen jokes that if they do, she can practice her skills as an actress by pretending to be Lise. Ellen hopes to go to acting school. Ellen asks how Lise died, and Annemarie admits that is not completely sure. Lise and Peter were out together and then Annemarie's parents got a call about an accident. Her parents went straight to the hospital, and Lise died. Mr. Johansen was very angry. Annemarie notices the Star of David necklace Ellen wears.

A few hours after falling asleep, they wake to pounding on the apartment door. Annemarie peeks out the bedroom. A soldier is asking her parents if it is true that they are friends with the Rosens. He demands to know where the Rosens are. Mrs. Johansen answers that they must be sleeping in their home. The soldiers come in, looking for the Rosens. Annemarie tells Ellen to take off her necklace. The clasp sticks, but Annemarie yanks it off just in time. The three soldiers come in and order the girls out of bed and interrogate them. They want to know why there are two blond girls (Annemarie and Kirsti) and one with dark hair. Mr. Johansen grabs a family photo album and rips out three pictures. Each is a photo of a baby with the name below: Kirstin with blond hair, Annemarie with blond hair, and Lise with dark hair. The soldiers rip the photo of Lise and leave. As the soldiers leave, Annemarie realizes that she has been clenching Ellen's necklace in her hand. When she opens her fingers, the Star of David is imprinted on her skin.

Chapter VI: Is the Weather Good for Fishing?

Mr. and Mrs. Johansen think about what they should do. Ellen apologizes for being trouble, particularly her dark hair. Mrs. Johansen tells Ellen her hair is beautiful and adds how lucky they were that Lise had dark hair as a baby. The talk of Lise makes Annemarie happy, since she has not heard her parents speak about Lise since Lise's death. The Johansens decide that Ellen and Annemarie will go to Uncle Henrik's house instead of to school. Mrs. Johansen says she will make the trip alone with the girls in order to raise less suspicion. Mr. Johansen protests at this, but then agrees with his wife. Mr. Johansen calls Henrik and asks if "the weather is good for fishing." Annemarie thinks this is a bizarre question, because Henrik is a fisherman and will go out rain or shine. Mr. Johansen says he is sending his wife to visit along with a "carton of cigarettes." The cigarettes further puzzle Annemarie, for she knows there have not been any available for a while. Then Annemarie realizes that her father is speaking in code; the carton of cigarettes is Ellen. Mr. Johansen says that other cartons will come soon.

Mrs. Johansen, Annemarie, Kirsti and Ellen take the train to Gilleleje, where Uncle Henrik lives. On the way, soldiers come through the wagon. They ask Mrs. Johansen where she is going and if she is paying a visit for the New Year. Annemarie's fears that Kirsti will say it is Ellen's New Year, but she does not, and the soldiers leave. Once in Gilleleje, the foursome walk through the forest to the house where Mrs. Johansen grew up. Kirsti chats about the castle they saw on the trip, insisting that kings and queens live there. When Annemarie tries to correct her, Mrs. Johansen says, "Let her dream." Mrs. Johansen points out the garden her aunt used to keep and the place where her dog used to wait for her after school.

Chapter VII: The House by The Sea

When they get to the sea, Ellen says it is her first time so close to the ocean. Her mother is afraid of the ocean, Ellen explains. A leaf floats up to them and Annemarie remarks that it could have come from Sweden, which is visible across the water. Annemarie scans the water for her uncle's boat, but they cannot find it. They go to Henrik's house. Mrs. Johansen asks if they saw anyone and warns not to speak to anyone. The girls want to know if there are soldiers here, too. Mrs. Johansen says there are. After supper Ellen and Annemarie go up to bed in Mrs. Johansen's childhood room. Ellen asks Annemarie what she did with her Star of David necklace. Annemarie says she hid it carefully and will keep it for Ellen until she can wear it again safely. Ellen wishes she knew where her parents were. As they fall asleep, Annemarie can hear her mother and Uncle Henrik talking downstairs. It reminds her of earlier visits to the house during the summer, only now there is no laughter.

Acting is vital to Ellen's narrow escape. During the course of the night, each member of the Johansen family and Ellen must do some acting. Ellen must play the part of the third daughter. All of them must pretend to be calm. Mr. and Mrs. Johansen must pretend that there is nothing wrong and that they do not know where the Rosens are. When the soldiers come, they must pretend that an ordinary night in their home has been interrupted. Annemarie has a role as well. She must keep her friend from being too afraid. In a way, this is a role reversal: Ellen is taking Lise's place for the night, but it is Annemarie who must act like the older sister. Before going to bed, Annemarie helps Ellen feel better by assuring her that nothing will go wrong, though Annemarie is not positive this is true.

keep_message_dicts_in_memory — preserve memory representation of metadata when memory is low

keep_message_dicts_in_memory = false

Momentum aggressively uses RAM to speed up processing, and to make that approach successful, it also needs to realize that it should reclaim and re-use memory for messages that are delayed. When a message is placed on the delayed queue, or when one of the various memory management metrics indicates that too much memory is in use, Momentum will discard the message body and the in-memory representation of the validation context dictionaries that were captured during reception.

This results in reduced memory usage, but can result in higher disk IO, and in particular, unexpected disk IO on the scheduler thread after periods of intense memory pressure if you are using validation context data to drive your binding assignment or other policy hooks.

By setting keep_message_dicts_in_memory to true, Momentum will retain the validation context dictionaries in memory when it discards the message body memory. This will prevent additional disk IO when the message is later scheduled for delivery, but at the cost of increased memory usage.

In some circumstances, using the Lua function msg:routing_domain may cause Momentum to "watchdog" (i.e., to become unresponsive and restart). To alleviate this, set keep_message_dicts_in_memory to true.

If you change this option you must restart the ecelerity process for the change to take effect. Invoking config reload from the system console is not sufficient.

To reduce the overall memory cost of enabling this option, make use of the exclude_vctx_mess and exclude_vctx_conn options to reduce the size of the validation context dictionaries.

The default value is false.

keep_message_dicts_in_memory is valid in the global scope.

Direct numerical simulation of a wall jet: flow physics

Research paper by Iftekhar Z. Naqavi, James C. Tyacke, Paul G. Tucker

Indexed on: 10 Aug '18Published on: 10 Oct '18Published in: Journal of fluid mechanics

A direct numerical simulation (DNS) of a plane wall jet is performed at a Reynolds number of $Re_{j}=7500$ . The streamwise length of the domain is long enough to achieve self-similarity for the mean flow and the Reynolds shear stress. This is the highest Reynolds number wall jet DNS for a large domain achieved to date. The high resolution simulation reveals the unsteady flow field in great detail and shows the transition process in the outer shear layer and inner boundary layer. Mean flow parameters of maximum velocity decay, wall shear stress, friction coefficient and jet spreading rate are consistent with several other studies reported in the literature. Mean flow, Reynolds normal and shear stress profiles are presented with various scalings, revealing the self-similar behaviour of the wall jet. The Reynolds normal stresses do not show complete similarity for the given Reynolds number and domain length. Previously published inner layer budgets based on LES are inaccurate and those that have been measured are only available in the outer layer. The current DNS provides fully balanced, explicitly calculated budgets for the turbulence kinetic energy, Reynolds normal stresses and Reynolds shear stress in both the inner and outer layers. The budgets are scaled with inner and outer variables. The inner-scaled budgets in the near wall region show great similarity with turbulent boundary layers. The only remarkable difference is for the turbulent diffusion in the wall-normal Reynolds stress and Reynolds shear stress budgets. The outer layer interacts with the inner layer through turbulent diffusion and the excess energy from the wall-normal direction is transferred to the spanwise direction.

Bhishma State !

Add to Spiritual Diary

“As long as one clings on the 'I', the four prison walls close in on you. Cross out the 'I', you are all set FREE"- Bhagwad Gita

Bhishma's representation in Kurukshetra is compared to our body bound 'Ego' – Ahamkara, as per Gita. Ego will die its natural death like Bhishma in the end & merges with the reality.

Consider the place & situations in which Gita was delivered, there lies the significance of the Discourse to a devotee like Arjuna. On one side, the forces of Dharma & on the other, that of Evil. Caught between these two groups of his own relations, teachers & elders, Arjuna was unable to decide which side to adopt & weeps in despair. This was not just his dilemma, it is a universal problem with humans too. Sri Krsna clears his ignorance towards self realization by his lectures on the battle ground of Kurukshetra.

“O Partha, You are just looking at the bodies in this battle field, No ! Look at them at the soul level, all your attachments will melt & agony will disappear. I know them all, they even existed here before too. Forget the ego, let it melt & merge with all its layers of consciousness. Do your duty posed in front of you, righteously.....”.

He continues......

The following verse is so beautiful & speaks the reality of this perishable body....

“vasamsi jirnani yatha vihaya
navani grhnati naro ’parani
tatha sarirani vihaya jirnany
anyani samyati navani dehi” - Srimad Bhagwad Gita #2.22

Means “ As a person changes his clothes every day giving up the old ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones.”

Arjuna asks -
But with my arrows, Pitamaha Bhismacharya will die......
Then you and I will be the cause of that...he Prabhu !

Lord Krishna-
“What fault is there in a person giving up old worn cloth to put on new cloth?
In a similar way, Bhishma will give up an old body and attain a new divine body... What fault is there for ME or YOU in that?

"Hari Om Tat Sat"

Coming to the Science & Psychology of Ego,
The term 'ego' is often a false identity. It is not an entity but an activity which contracts the field of one's self radiance. It is an exaggerated sense of self importance. The modern theory on ego psychology just deals ego as one's compromises to one's intra psychic/ mental conflicts. Bhishma in the Epic Mahabharat, represents the 'EGO' state.

Ego is a Latin word in English means “ I “. Ego psychology has deep roots from a psychologist, Sigmund Freud's - “Id- Ego-Superego” structural model of mind.  Id- constitutes our unconscious urges of one's personality. Ego is an activity which has both conscious & unconscious components. The ego & superego was predisposed to regulate & oppose one's id through these defenses. It is a science of mental conflict & ego takes shape as a reaction of id to the external world. One's ego is influenced from early childhood attachment issues, success & interpersonal interactions in the society. One's individual libidinal & aggressive impulses/ urges are continuously in conflict with one's conscience & the reality. These can lead to neuroses in certain situations. The goal of therapy in such is to establish a balance between bodily & psychological needs, conscience & society. The clinical technique is called “ defense analysis”- confront, clarify & interpret the typical defense mechanisms one uses on situations. Psychologists help one gain control over these defense mechanisms.

Ego functions in several ways from:

*thought processes (right or wrong)
*regulating impulses (ability to manage the urges- sexual/ aggressive properly)
*Judgment (decisiveness)
*reality testing (most imp function of ego is to perceive what is reality to negotiate with the external world – mild distortions under stress can lead to delusions & hallucinations but chronic defencies in this aspect can lead to psychoses)
*synthesis (to organize,integrate & unify the functions coherently based on ideas, feeling & life experiences)

*defensive functioning- is an unconscious attempt we make to protect ourselves from some powerful identity-threatening feeling. Initial defenses develop in infancy and involve the boundary between the self and the outer world; they are considered primitive defenses ( projection, denial, and splitting). As the child grows up, more sophisticated defenses that deal with internal boundaries, defenses ( repression, regression, displacement, and reaction formation). We all have these primitive & mature defenses. Adults cope with the stress in more mature ways depending on his life experiences & situations.

Dismantling our false sense/ ego illusion is demanding emotionally. As our capacity to witness- mindfulness increases, we automatically slip more & more into reality. We are attached to pleasurable experiences & try to avoid unpleasant ones. Whatever flavor they may have, they all have the ego as their pivot to like or dislike it. Hence we are like imprisoned by ego & blind ourselves with those limitations with a narrow outlook. The power of ego is like a little pool, egoistic person lives like a frog in that pool with his small world with insecure borders & perceives that only his own thoughts & feelings are meaningful.

Ego identity is the root of life & manifests in different forms & shapes. Only self control (represented by Arjuna) can make it light when life becomes light & happy.When man thinks, speaks & acts along virtuous lines, his conscience will be clean & he will have peace of mind. If one can subdue his ego by conquering his selfish desires, destroys his bestial feelings & impulses & gives up the natural tendency to regard the body as self, is surely on the path of Dharma. It is the eventual merge of self wave into higher self, the god.

The real YOGA practice seeks to undermine the ego illusion, our ongoing action of self-encapsulation. It adapts us to the true nature of eternally free, wide awake & blissful stat

Meet the Interns: Danielle Goad

  • August 22, 2018
956 482 Specright

Danielle Goad, one of our Summer Interns in our Sales and Marketing Department, joins us from Cal Poly where she’s majoring in Industrial Technology and Packaging. She shares that she loves how Cal Poly starts you off early in your major and gives you true hands-on experience – learn by doing. Being a member of Poly Pack and ITS clubs has allowed her to be apart of the packaging community in San Luis Obispo. Danielle has lived in San Diego her whole life and grew up playing soccer. Her other interests include travel, music, and scuba diving.

We have been happy to have Danielle onboard our Specright team this summer and we thought we’d ask her a few questions about her internship with the company and what lies on the road ahead!

What brought you to Specright?

I was introduced to Specright at my Cal Poly Packaging Career Fair where I was very impressed with the new technology and concept Specright had created. The internship seemed like a unique opportunity to learn how a SaaS can solve many issues in the packaging industry.

The Specright Summer Internship was a good mix of my overall major at Cal Poly — operations and packaging — allowing me to see what section I’m more interested in pursuing.

What do you want to learn while you’re at Specright?

I want to learn a wide variety of skills in the Packaging and IT industry. By working with both the sales and implementation team, I have been very immersed in the technology and operations of the company.

During my time at Specright, I want to improve my engineering skills in architecting data structures for customers personalized needs in Salesforce. I also will be working on my ability to reverse engineer and design packaging structures with ArtiosCAD.

Why are you interested in packaging?

I’m interested in packaging because I think it is an evolving industry that is full of opportunity. The idea that packaging used to be the basic brown box is no longer true. It has turned into a market that alters and controls consumers purchases.  This concept is exciting to me, along with the push for sustainable and environmental solutions.

What are you excited about on the road ahead?

I’m excited to continue learning from the great people at Specright. I have really enjoyed how open and dynamic the workplace is with people striving to work hard for this new product to improve it and make it the best it can be. Shout out to Adam Armstrong, Specright’s Director of Sales, for all the help and projects that have been interesting to work on. Some projects I have completed so far are upgrading the marketing strategies, revamping the social media platforms, and segmenting customer contacts for more

effective outreach. Thank you to Nate Faulwell for all the Salesforce help and getting adjusted to a new platform. I have really enjoyed learning how to make personalized demos for potential customers interested in Specright.

A note from the team:

Danielle has been an asset since day one of her internship. From the marketing projects to the sales lead generation campaigns she works on, Danielle always exceeds expectations. We are happy to announce that Danielle will be extending her time at Specright this school year as our Academia Liaison. To learn more about our Academia Program, email Danielle at

In the fall of 2017, Belinda Pastrana, like many Puerto Ricans, faced destruction all around her following Hurricane Maria’s arrival on September 20. A few months later, Pastrana, a professor of biochemistry and biophysics at the University of Puerto Rico Mayaguez (UPRM), had relocated to Boston and was reviving her biotech company. Within a year, she was presenting new data on her company’s analytical techniques at the SciX conference.

Pastrana and her company are rolling again. But all her work to build scientific programs and opportunity on her native island, and her dreams of expanding that for future generations, face an uncertain future.

A Puerto Rican Returnee

When Pastrana was young, like many talented Puerto Ricans, she left the island for graduate school. She completed her PhD in biophysical chemistry at Rutgers University, then began postdoctoral research at the Mayo Clinic & Foundation in Minnesota. Opportunities in the mainland United States were plentiful.

But she and her new husband, an organic chemist, dreamed of going back. “My husband and I both wanted to return to Puerto Rico what Puerto Rico had invested in us,” she said. So in 1996, they both accepted offers for academic positions in the chemistry department at UPRM- taking a rare opportunity for two married scientists to land tenure-track professorships at the same institution.

Over the years, Pastrana conducted her research, founded a biotech company, taught, and looked for ways to foster science on the island. One way she felt she could create more opportunities for talented local students was to develop a PhD program in applied chemistry. The program she and her colleagues created was rigorous: Students had to publish two peer-reviewed manuscripts  as first author, in addition to completing their theses. They had to complete a practicum in an academic, industry, or government laboratory, with an original proposal written and defended by the graduate candidate. They also had two complete two electives in business administration.

She also focused on options for her undergraduates. Given the strong presence of the pharmaceutical industry in Puerto Rico, Pastrana emphasized preparing those students to work in pharmaceutical  development, continue graduate studies in the United States, or pursue   a medical degree-all viable options for the more than   250 talented young people who graduated with chemistry, biology, chemical engineering, and biotechnology degrees during Pastrana’s 20-year span as a faculty member.

“I wanted to show the world that excellent science could be done on the island, both basic and applied research, with the potential to have a direct impact on the quality of life of patients,” she said.

After the Hurricane

After Hurricane Maria, everything changed. The devastation of this hurricane was far beyond that of previous storms.

The impact on the island as a whole has been well documented. What has been less discussed is the impact on science on the island. Pastrana’s laboratories at UPRM fared better than many others, but much of the sensitive equipment was severely damaged or destroyed. The building’s diesel generator had no fuel, because the priority was to send diesel fuel to clinics and hospitals. Other laboratories suffered greater damage. In particular, the lack of  power  or fuel for generators meant a lack of air conditioning in a hot climate and high humidity conditions, leading to mold growth everywhere. Mold destroyed scientific equipment, and in many cases, made classrooms, laboratories, and equipment unsafe. Her colleague, Samuel P. Hernández, a chemistry professor, saw his laboratories largely destroyed.

The losses to her company, Protein Dynamic Solutions, Inc., which she had founded in 2011, were also significant. The company’s work is focused on technology Pastrana developed to evaluate critical quality attributes of biopharmaceuticals, using quantum cascade laser microscopy, two-dimensional infrared correlation, and co-distribution analysis software to allow direct visualization of aggregates, map the regions prone to aggregation within the protein, and assess domain stability, concerns that affect drug safety and efficacy. But the backup power systems in place, all at sea level, failed. Much of her scientific instrumentation and supporting systems-such as freezers-were without power, resulting in significant losses of dedicated and original biological materials including clones, 5.3 kg of cells harvested from microbial expression, and purified recombinant proteins. These recombinant proteins were essential to her research and development efforts.

But Pastrana was most concerned about how the situation would affect her students’ ability to complete their degrees. The university reopened after a month, and even though the disruption was significant, she knew her undergraduate students would be able to finish, and they did. Since then, of her eight seniors, five were accepted into medical school at the University of Puerto Rico Medical Sciences, one was accepted into the structural biology program at Yale University, one was accepted for graduate studies in immunology at Harvard, and one re-located to Boston to continue working at Protein Dynamic Solutions and will pursue graduate studies while in Boston.

But her four graduate students were a bigger concern. Through her network, she arranged for her two PhD students to finish their projects at other institutions: one at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee, and another at the Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute in Buffalo. They defended their theses in July 2018 in the Biophysics Division of the Applied Chemistry program at UPRM. These PhD graduates are now doing post-doctoral research in the Walter Chazin’s Laboratory at Vanderbilt.

Two more students were in the pipeline toward their PhD degrees and finished their course work during that extended semester of the hurricane. They decided to work or intern at the biopharmaceutical company Eli Lilly del Caribe, a branch of Eli Lilly located on the island, which had its own power station and continued to be operational after the storm. To date, one has decided to continue working at Lilly, and the second transferred to UPR Medical Sciences to continue her PhD.

Pastrana stopped taking in any more students, took a sabbatical leave without pay, and moved to Boston.

Rebuilding the Company

Boston, she knew, had a good ecosystem for her business, offering access to biopharmaceutical companies and clinical research and development organizations. Indeed, the company is doing well. It is conducting protein aggregation analyses for several companies and has received continued non-dilutive funding from the National Science Foundation, including Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) phase IIB funding. The company also has active collaborations with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI).

The Long Term

In the meantime, the family is split into two locations. Her older son came with her to Boston, to get ready to apply for graduate school. But her husband, a tenured faculty member at UPRM, stayed on the island to be near his elderly mother, and the couple’s younger son stayed with his dad.

The couple knows they can sort out a long-term plan for themselves. But Pastrana’s dreams of continuing the development of science and scientists on the island are uncertain.

She had built her laboratories there through 20 years of grantsmanship, replacing equipment after previous hurricanes through insurance and by writing new grant proposals to fund what the insurance didn’t cover. Over that same period, she graduated 250 undergraduate students (96% of whom continued their graduate studies in the United States) and 11 MS students in biophysics. She was recognized as a Henry Dreyfus Teacher Scholar. She developed a doctoral program and her first two PhD students have graduated, in spite of the storm.

But now the future of all that effort is in doubt. The island’s difficult recovery is exacerbated by the poor economic situation there. And with climate change, the likelihood of more strong hurricanes seems high.

Will Pastrana return to Puerto Rico? “It’s not a decision I am ready to make,” she said.

Integration of a Bifunctional Quantum Cascade Laser with Detection for Lab-on-a-Chip Mid-Infrared Absorption Spectroscopy

July 1, 2019
Jerome Workman, Jr.

Volume 34, Issue 7
Page Number: 26–27

SciX Award winner Benedikt Schwarz explains his groundbreaking work in portable infrared devices.

Mid-infrared spectroscopy is one of the key analytical techniques used for chemical sensing of organic compounds for myriad applications, including forensic detection, environmental monitoring, and medical diagnosis. The typical mid-infrared spectrometer consists of a broadband thermal emitter as the source, combined with a broadband detector. The source and detector are matched with a Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) interferometer and external transfer optics for sampling; these components comprise the complete benchtop spectrometer. There is an increasing demand for more compact and cost-effective sensing solutions to replace bulky laboratory systems. Such portable infrared devices ideally incorporate all necessary optical components and functionality onto a single chip. A key development to realize such monolithically integrated spectrometers is the combination of a bi-functional quantum cascade laser with detection capabilities. We recently interviewed Benedikt Schwarz, PhD, a principal investigator at TU Wien, in Vienna, Austria, about his work in this field. Schwarz won a FACSS Innovation award at the 2018 SciX conference for this work, and this interview is part of a series of interviews with the winners of awards presented at SciX.

One of your most cited papers to date (1) discusses the integration of a bifunctional quantum cascade laser with detection capabilities. This work represents a novel, monolithically integrated sensor for mid-infrared absorption spectroscopy. What prompted you to investigate this problem?

The initial idea goes back to the beginning of my PhD work in 2011. While my main interest was initially theory and modeling, I was looking for a topic that had the potential to achieve a real impact for practical applications. Since then, I have been working on the challenging goal to build on-chip integrated mid-infrared sensors and spectrometers.

How is what you have done different from what others have done previously?

Many other researchers focus on the integration of mid-infrared photonics on the silicon platform. One of the key benefits of silicon is its natural oxide that led to the famous complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process. In photonics, the silicon platform is mainly limited by the technological challenge to integrate active optical components, such as lasers and detectors. Nevertheless, silicon is often used for telecom wavelengths, due to its excellent waveguiding properties and low-cost of fabrication. In the mid-infrared, silicon photonics loses nearly all of its attraction (or appeal), as the natural oxide is absorbing over a wide spectral range.

We decided to follow a different strategy. We used the best available laser technology, and extended it step-by-step to include both detectors and waveguides that are integrated and matched to the laser system.

Your device switches between laser and detector operation. You have chosen to create a device that interacts with the sample via a dielectric-loaded surface plasmon polariton (SPP) waveguide. What are the advantages of this approach to sampling for absorption spectroscopy?

The idea is to bring the sensor to the sample, instead of the sample to the sensor. As an example, the dielectric-loaded surface plasmon polariton waveguides can be combined with microfluidics to detect the sample in place. An in situ monitoring system can give feedback for real-time process optimization, even with small sample volumes. This in situ sampling approach is currently being brought to the next level in a new research project at TU Wien together with the chemistry department.

In your referenced paper (1), you describe the capability to reach parts per million (ppm) accuracy over a wide range of concentrations (0–60%). Have you been able to demonstrate such accuracy in a real-world application? What are your thoughts on the practicality of this sensor design for routine analysis of infrared absorbing molecules at the ppm concentration level?

Extending our sensors with microfluidics will enable us to probe the chips in a more controlled way, and to implement them into real-world applications. In particular, we are targeting the detection of the secondary structure of proteins. I would also like to note that the presented sensor chips were based on the first generation of the bifunctional material, and a major performance improvement was achieved during the last few years (3).

We also learned that the integration of all optical components is an advantage in terms of sensitivity. The lasers remain unchanged, the on-chip waveguides are much more efficient compared to free-space optics, and the on-chip detectors have an exceptionally low noise, due to their small size. The main remaining challenge is most probably the contamination of the sensor. Given these improvements, we will have the capability of low concentration detection.

You have described an elegant solution to the sampling or coupling issue using a surface plasmon polariton (SPP) waveguide. Using this waveguide, the electromagnetic wave propagates along a metal–dielectric interface demonstrating an evanescent wave decay on both sides (2,3). Would you describe this wave interaction phenomenon for our readers?

Traditional dielectric waveguides, such as optical fibers, are composed of two or more different dielectric materials. Metals show a fundamentally different optical behavior compared to dielectrics. The "free" electrons make them highly conductive, and they appear shiny. A surface plasmon polariton can propagate along the interface between a dielectric and a metal. Their occurrence is a natural consequence of light propagation governed by Maxwell's equations, and their name originates from the coupling of photons and electrons in a quasi-particle picture. The loss in the metal is thereby crucial for its functionality. Hence, surface plasmon polaritons will always demonstrate a certain amount of absorption, due to the damped oscillation of the electrons.

For us, surface plasmon polariton waveguides have two key features. First, nearly all of the light propagates outside of the metal and can interact with the analyte, and second, they can be easily integrated together with our lasers and detectors on the same chip. A drawback is the optical signal losses due to the metal. Although, for liquid sensing, the metallic signal absorption losses are much smaller compared to the absorption signal of the analyte, alternative concepts will be required when aiming for on-chip gas detection due to the smaller analyte signal of gases, as they are strongly diluted compared to liquids.

What would you consider to be the most useful contribution of your work?

I believe it is the principal strategy to directly integrate all optical components on the III–V semiconductor platform. Building good lasers is the most difficult part in the mid-infrared technology. Hence, it always seemed logical to me to use the best available laser technology, and to rather take a compromise on the other optical components.

What are your next steps in this work?

About a year ago, I started with a small research team to target the remaining technical challenges for multi-species analysis. The main question is: How can we efficiently integrate a mid-infrared spectrometer on a single chip? Currently, we are focusing on dual-comb spectroscopy. I am convinced that it is the ideal technique for miniaturization, and it is compatible with our previous efforts. However, it does not come for free. Quantum cascade laser frequency combs are very sensitive, and advanced stabilization techniques are required. In our recent work, we showed that, by coherent electrical injection locking, we can make them much more robust against harsh real-world conditions (4). Our findings enable the downscaling of dual-comb spectroscopy to very small footprints. Now, we are working on the on-chip integration of dual-comb spectroscopy and the reduction of the power consumption to target mobile hand-held devices. Our newest unpublished proof-of-principle demonstration is already very promising, and as soon as all technical challenges are solved, the real-world applications will be in reach.

More Information on the Cagiva Mito Models

The Cagiva Mito (English: Myth) is a small-engined Cagiva sports motorcycle. The powerplant consists of a two-stroke 125 cubic centimetres (7.6 cu in) single-cylinder engine.

History and development

The Cagiva Mito was the first bike of Valentino Rossi, eventual 9 time MotoGP world champion. In 1994, Rossi had been provided a factory Mito by Cagiva team manager Claudio Lusuardi and cruised to the Italian title.

During the 1990s the Mito was the arch-rival to Aprilia's AF1 125 FUTURA and later the RS125, a similar 2-stroke 125 cc race-replica.

In 2012, production of new Mitos was suspended. Increasingly stringent environmental emission requirements and the concentration of resources on MV Agusta's F3 were cited as reasons. The last few Mito SP525s produced were white in colour, and personally signed by MV Agusta CEO Giovanni Castiglioni.

Mk I/II and SP

The Mito was introduced in 1989 as the Mk I. The Mk II followed with minor changes such as upside down forks and a new front mudguard. The SP versions featured Marchesini rims and uprated suspension.

The SP models also featured different engine and ignition parts.

Evolution I and II

In 1994 the bike was restyled by Massimo Tamburini with similar lines to the then new Ducati 916, a design he also penned. The similarity is particularly visible in the front and rear fairings.

The Evo I is identified by the 3 spoke rims and the 7 speed gearbox, grey lower panels, solid colours on the tail section.

The Evo II is identified by the 6 spoke rims and the 6 speed gearbox, solid colour lower panels, white area on the tail section.

In February 2007, Malaysian company MOFAZ announced that they will be locally assembling the last batch of the Mito 125 Evolution for Malaysian buyers. The bike will be known as the Momos Cagiva Mito 125 Fauzy's Edition and only 300 will be made for the production run.

In late 2009 Cagiva dropped the Evolution model, leaving just the Mito SP525 and Raptor 125 in the lineup.

In 2005, at the EICMA motorcycle show, Cagiva launched a limited production tuned competition version of the Mito known as the SP525. This is something of a homage to the Cagiva GP500 (C594) racing bike. Front and rear fairings were modified to look more like the C594, eight-spoke forged aluminium wheels were added, while speedometer, lights and mirrors were removed to reduce the overall weight. The bike is not road-legal.

For 2008, Cagiva added the Mito SP525 road bike (not to be confused with the racing SP525 above) alongside the Mito Evo II. In terms of looks, the new bike inherits some stylistic traits from the competition SP525, essentially similar front and rear fairings.

On a technical level, the bike retains much the same rolling chassis as the Evo and the engine is still a 125 cc two-stroke, but has had several changes, notably a new Electronic Carburetion System (developed in conjunction with Dell'Orto) governing both fuel-air, oil-mix and ignition, allowing it to pass tougher Euro 3 emissions regulations.

Mito 500

In November 2006 at EICMA, Cagiva unveiled the Mito 500 concept bike. The two-stroke 125 cc engine has been replaced with a fuel-injected, four-stroke 500 cubic centimetres (31 cu in) DOHC single, courtesy of Husqvarna. Replacing the two-stroke's expansion chamber exhaust is a tiny, seemingly unbaffled system, its exit just visible at the rear of the underside fairing. With forged alloy wheels it weighs in at 133 kilograms (293 lb) - just 4 kilograms (8.8 lb) more than the Mito 125.

Naked variants

In 1998, Cagiva added a naked equivalent to the Mito Evo, named the Planet which bears some resemblance to the Ducati Monster. The Planet, unlike the Aprilia Tuono, has been given all new fairings including a fuel tank which can hinge upwards allowing access for space to store an open face helmet.

Raptor 125

In 2003, Cagiva discontinued the Planet and renamed the particular motorcycle in 2004 as the Raptor 125 which is essentially the same however with changes to the appearance.

  • Maximum Power:
Evolution - 24.5 kW (33 hp) @12,000 rpm
Mito SP 525 ('09) - 18 kW (24 hp) @12,000 rpm

More Information on the Yamaha TDM Models

The Yamaha TDM is a sport touring motorcycle built by Yamaha Motor Company between 1991 and 2011.

The TDM was not intended as an off-road machine, but as a comfortable yet manoeuvrable all-rounder, rather like the Ducati Multistrada of later years. A TDM is too bulky and heavy for serious off-road work, but its long-travel suspension can cope with gravel tracks.

The TDM's engine was derived from the Paris-Dakar winning Yamaha XTZ 750 Super Tenere. Yamaha intended to create a motorcycle capable of handling European mountain roads and coping with rougher road surfaces. The TDM's upright riding position seemed radical in its day.

The TDM was imported into the United States for only two years, 1992 and 1993. It was never a big seller in the United Kingdom nor at first in the Netherlands, but sales were strong in other European countries, particularly in France, Germany and Greece

TDM 850 (MKI)

In 1991 came the TDM850 MkI. The customers demand changed for more versatile bikes than for trail bikes.

The engine is similar to the XTZ750, except the bore grow up to give a 849cc displacement. Maximum bhp is 73.7, overall performances are rather good considering this is not a sport-bike, not even a sport-GT.

The TDM850 has an hybrid chassis : there is a Deltabox perimetric steel frame and rather long travel suspensions, more trail-like than pure road characteristics. The rear suspension is not progressive, the front suspension is a 41mm diameter cartridge fork. The engine is protected by a metal plate. The braking is far more efficient than with the XTZ, with also three disk-brakes. The front wheel has a rather unusual 18' diameter which limits the tyre's choice.

The 3VD - MkI was produced from 1991 until 1995 without any modification except the color pattern.

Yamaha TDM850|TDM 850 (MKII)

Fairly revolutionary when launched and certainly years ahead of its time the Yamaha TDM850 was a sort of Multistrada 12 years before Ducati thought of it. As a serious ‘street trailie allrounder it’s pretty effective, too. The later 900 is better, but the Yamaha TDM850 is still decent, good value, different, and largely overlooked.

Yamaha TDM 900|TDM 900 (5PS)

The Yamaha TDM900 is a streetbiking oddball that’s as brilliant beating congestion as it is swinging bends. The parallel twin motor is spunky enough for fun, while the wide bars really let you take charge and hustle. It’s such an easy motorcycle to ride you could do it with your eyes shut.

Yamaha MT-09 Tracer|MT-09 Tracer

After 20 years producing the TDM, Yamaha Motor Company stopped the production in 2011. In 2014 rumors and photos leaked on the internet showed a new design of sport touring motorcycle with many similarities between the TDM and this new machine. In 2015 Yamaha released the MT-09 Tracer (FJ-09 in North America) developed from the MT-09 technology. Even when nobody at Yamaha mentioned the TDM during this project, many professionals and fans believed it is the direct successor.
