Slinky Dog Dash FastPass line

You’re going to Walt Disney World! How exciting! There is so much to see and do, but waiting in long lines to ride the attractions doesn’t sound very magical to me!

Flight of Passage Standby Wait time

That’s where Disney’s FastPass+ system comes into play. But you can’t just reserve whatever attractions you want all at the same time. There is a tier system, and I am here to explain all of the ins and outs of this system.

Let’s start with a quick overview of what the FastPass+ system is:

  • Using the My Disney Experience app, you can reserve a time slot during which you can return to the attraction and ride it without waiting in the standby line (FastPass+ wait time is anywhere from 5 – 20 minutes).
  • It is free to use with paid admission to one of the theme parks.
  • You redeem your FastPass+ selection by touching your Magic Band or Theme Park ticket card at the touch point at the beginning of each attraction line.
  • Not all attractions have FastPasses — only the ones with busier wait times.

When can you book your FastPass+ selections?

You can select your FastPasses starting at 7:00 a.m. EST on the date your window opens by going to the My Disney Experience section online [WDW website], or using the app on your smartphone or tablet.

My Disney Experience Pastpass set up

When does my FastPass+ window open?

If you are staying in a Walt Disney World Resort owned and operated property you can make FastPass+ reservations up to 60 days in advance of your check-in for your entire length of stay.

Guests staying at other select hotels also get this benefit.

These are:

  • Walt Disney World Swan Resort Hotel
  • Walt Disney World Dolphin Resort Hotel
  • Shades of Green on Walt Disney World Resort
  • B Resort Located in the Walt Disney World Resort
  • Best Western Lake Buena Vista Resort
  • DoubleTree Guest Suites in Walt Disney World
  • Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort
  • Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace
  • Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista, Holiday Inn Lake Buena Vista
  • Wyndham Lake Buena Vista
  • Wyndham Garden Lake Buena Vista Disney Springs.

Guests staying off-site can make reservations up to 30days in advance of each day of their theme park visit.

My window is open, and I’m ready to make my FastPass+ selections, now what?

Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom have a tier system in place for the FastPasses. This is because some of the rides are main headliner attractions and the standby wait time is usually even longer for these rides. The tier system was put into place to allow more visitors the ability to get a FastPass for those headliner attractions. Magic Kingdom does not have a tier system.

Note: the number in parentheses next to the attraction name below is the minimum height requirement for that ride.

How does the tier system work?

Tier 1: You may select only 1 FastPass option from this grouping in advance for each day you have park tickets

  • Frozen Ever After

British Virgin Islands - Cruising Outpost Party at Cane Garden Bay | Distant Shores Sailing Newsletters

British Virgin Islands - Cruising Outpost Party at Cane Garden Bay

Back on board Distant Shores II,Village Cay Marina,Road Town,Tortola in the British Virgin Islands

Greetings from the British Virgin Islands! Paul and I are now back on board our Southerly 49, Distant Shores II, following a 3-week trip home to Canada for our annual winter speaking tour including 10 days conducting seminars at the Toronto International Boat Show and to catch up with family and friends at home. It's such a great way to start off the New Year!

Now that we’re back on the boat, we'll be spending the next few weeks in the British Virgin Islands (BVI), an annual stopover for us when we're in the Caribbean, to catch up on our editing and writing projects before continuing filming season 10 episodes of the Distant Shores sailing TV series further down island this winter.

Paul and Sheryl Shard, hosts of the Distant Shores sailing TV series, Peter Island, BVI

One of the sailing publications we write for is Cruising Outpost magazine (formerly Latitudes and Attitudes) where you'll find a community of fun-loving cruising sailors living life to the fullest while traveling the world on their boats. The charismatic editor of CO is ex-biker and longtime sailor, Bob Bitchin'. Bob and his wife, Jody, know how to throw a good party! You may have attended one of their beer and pizza parties held at American boat shows. Last year we attended Bob's birthday party in the British Virgin Islands which I wrote about in a previous blog.

Following the Strictly Sail Chicago boat show in January, Bob and Jody flew down to the islands where they are hosting a new series of winter parties in the Caribbean in partnership with Tradewinds Radio with food, drink and cruising tunes by the The Eric Stone Band. The first, of what promises to be an annual event, was held last weekend on Saturday January 31st at Myett's Beach Resort on beautiful Cane Garden Bay on Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. Of course we attended and had a wonderful evening with fellow cruisers!

A good time being had by all at the first annual Cruising Outpost/Tradewinds Radio Tortola Party

Bob and Jody's next stop is St. Maarten where they'll be holding a second party, this time on Saturday February 7th 2015 at the famous Buccaneer Beach Bar on beautiful Kimsha Beach, Simpson Bay, home of many memorable Heineken Regatta parties. This great location is perfect for cruisers and charterers alike because it’s just outside the Dutch side bridge into Simpson Bay Lagoon and a short walk from hotels, casinos, and The St. Maarten Yacht Club (open to all) which is just across the street. The family friendly party will start in the afternoon with cool steel pan music, beach barbecue, and beverages, and even some acrobats and clowns. Meet celebrities, win big in the charity raffle, and pick up a souvenir T-shirt. When the sun goes down, party to the Eric Stone Band.
Anchor out in Simpson Bay or Simpson Bay Lagoon and dinghy ashore, or take an easy trip on the local Dollar Bus from anywhere on St. Maarten. Hope you can make it!

Jody and Bob and are sailing to St. Maarten aboard friends Tom and Sharon’s Hylas 54, Distant Star.

There are lots of fun things to do when you're cruising or chartering in the Caribbean! We've filmed numerous episodes featuring Caribbean destinations in the Distant Shores sailing TV series over the years which are available on DVD and you can also download them in HD on Vimeo on Demand. Check out the trailers for season 5, season 6, season 9 and season 10 (download only) including the ever-popular episode, "Bareboat Chartering in the British Virgin Islands", from season 5. Here's an excerpt to warm you up on a cold winter day and turn your mind to sailing in sunshine in the tropics. Feel free to share it with someone who can use a lift...

25 thoughts on “adopted pedigree

  1. I was told my grt gran-mother was Iroqoui, Perry county ,PA near duncannon. She was married to a german man named meyer.I don’t know her name. A lot of Indians in that area were buried on an Island on the susquehanna river that flows thi know I am 1/8 AMerican Indian and would like more info on this. I tried the court hooouse in duncannon but it was burned down yrs ago. Thanks

  2. There is a lot of confusion when it comes to the Indian census rolls, mainly refering to the Southwestern area of Arizona, California, Coloradoand New Mexico. Many were not created until the 1930’s. There were many indian natives who lived on small native lands by waterways and were not documented as such on any of the census due to them not residing on the newly development of “reservations”. Many native americans lived in such isolated and remote areas, and they were not counted in the census rolls and then later considered, “mexicans” from the lands of Mexico, presently southwestern America. Many of the native people were sometimes married out of the tribe to non native, european Americans outside the reservations. With this in mind, they too were not listed on any of the Indian rolls. This left many natives out of any documentation of their native ancestry. Today, many natives have fallen through the cracks of documentation flaws and have become a tribe without a home literally.

    In the 1800’s, many mineral mines were opening across the southwest. Many natives tribes did not look favorably of natives working in the mines. So, many were excommunicated from the native tribal community due to this. Many tribal leaders felt moving away from communities gave away to new influences of the New immigrants and easterners moving West. This left the notion that many if the natives left the sacred surroundings of cultural obdiences and family traditions. The influx of anglos from the east and the presence of American government rulings proved detrimental due to the unpredictability of the future intentions of the newly formed government.

    Now with new foreigners arriving and the hardship many natives were now faced with, left many with so much uncertainty of the future of the livelihood of the Indian nation. With the chance to become financially independent from the new arrivals of immigrants into the west, many natives who went to work in newly formed mining, Many, if not all Natives, were look upon negatively by the tribal nations for leaving the securities of the native communities. Not only did native Indians leave to work in the mines but also many became ranchers and farmers providing goods to residences of the newly formed mining towns.

    With reference to the census rolls, many non natives anglos married native Indians and began having children. Many of these Anglos were submitted into the Indian rolls making them now native. It was unfortunate that the native nations looked negatively on the natives who didn’t follow the American formations of the “reservations” and relied on the U.S. government on the little support provided and mistreatment the local indian natives received. This mistreatment led many to not conform to the “reservation” and chose to seek a life outside the reservations where they had built homes outside the communities of their tribal ancestors. You can’t place blame on the natives that chose to make a living elsewhere to provide a life for their families rather than being confined on reservations unknowing the intentions of the newly formed reservations of the 1800’s and the uncertainty of the future survival of those in that time if unrest.

    Many native american families who now live have lived away from the communities of the Indian reservations and were not documented on any Indian rolls are left out of their communities to carry on traditions as a whole. Many Familes rely on traditions passed down from their great grandparents and other family members. There are many natives indians in the southwest who live outside the native communities for no fault of their own. With new generations coming to DNA to seek out their cultural and ancestral rights are being turned down yet again. With many tribes not considering DNA as a factor to prove ancestral connections, this leave many without a connection to their community of their culture.

    Hopefully, DNA will play an intricate part of bringing back family members who were left out due to the circumstances of uncertainty at a time of unrest and mistreatment of the native community. Many of us have strong DNA percentageS of around 25% to 60% of native American DNA from the southwest. Many have categorized the native Americans of the southwest, who don’t live on reservations, as Mexican or Hispanic, leaving their native Indian ancestry behind forever. Until DNA will be accepted in the native American communities if the southwest, we will have to wait and see how it will be moving forward.

  3. I was told my great Grandmother and my grandmother were 100% Cherokee born in the Cherokee mountain, Nc and my grandmother was a teacher and they only had the Bible to teach from, I have all thier names and there last home address, and were everyone’s buried birth and death dates, on the census for April,1 1940,found it was marked white on the census, this was my dad’s mother and grand mother haven’t learned much about his fathers side, so if the two women were 100% that makes me 25% correct? Well how much does it cost to have a DNA blood test done? And where would I go? Thank you oh so much.

  4. If my paternal grandmother’s father was 1/2 Cherokee and my maternal grandmother had some Indian blood what would my percent be?

  5. I’m currently seeking the proper procedures to prove my indigenous heritage . The DNA process appears to be a great starting point.At your earliest convenience please reply with the necessary information to begin my discovery process.Thanking you in advance with the utmost gratitude and sincerity.

  6. My boyfriend says he’s uncle was Indian but he left at a young age that they have no idea if he’s alive it dead and he’s family don’t remember he’s name which I find that crazy .. how can he proof that he does

    • If his uncle is part Indian, then your boyfriend is too. Gdnelogy tesearch should reveal that. So should an ethnicity test. The Family Finder test is on sale now. Link is on the sidebar of the blog.

  7. I’m 51 percent native American. I’m also adopted how do i go about trying to find out what tribe I would be long to. My family comes from Mexico but originally came from Europe. Where do i start

  8. I’m looking just to prove that I am American native indigenous, my mother was Cherokee and blakfoot, her father was full blood Cherokee my grandmother was blackfoot and had some German they say , I was adopted an my heritage was hidden on paper, I need help , if you can help me I greatly appreciate it, thank you for your time , Debi Deathridge

  9. I was adopted at 3 years old and I don’t know what my mother or father are but I took an Ancestory DNA test which showed me I have 69% Native American in me. I’ve wanted to associate myself with my roots now that i know them (partly), how can I go about researching a tribe or even a deeper knowledge of where I come from?

Although the duration of the relationship is quite small, it lead to the birth of the half elf and human. The children lived a torrid life because they regarded as bastard by the humans due to the absence of pure lineage. In short, it can be said that half Elf 5e is rightly the middle person of the world. Here the more details about the 5e leonin and stats as well.

Elf D&D 5e traits:

Ability Score:

The score of Charisma increases by a factor of 2 while the choice score increases by one.

The elves become mature at the age of 20 years however they live 180 years more than the humans.

They cherish creative expression and personal freedom to a great extent; therefore they do not love leaders nor follow them.

Physical Description:

The mixed breed is taller than the human beings while shorter than the elves. Lean build along with comely features transforms them into centers of attraction. Pointed ears also imbibe round shape reminiscent of the human characteristics. One can also see a wonderful similarity with the eyes of the humans but it occurs in different colors such as amber, violet and emerald green. Drow species of D&D Elf display pattern changes however the head hair is white or silver while the color of the skin ranges from purple to blue in the right light. In dark environment, you can notice the dominance of the grey color on the surface. Have a look at hobgoblin 5e this amazing race.

Society Elf 5e :

Since the creatures are devoid of homeland they are quite versatile and adaptable to live in different conditions. Although half elves are attractive, they fail to find the favors with either of the parent race. Some members take the discrimination in a positive way as they regard themselves as unique with combination of the best of the attributes from both races. Half D&D Elf is often encouraged to take diplomatic duties for the two cultures. In such a situations taking sides or the pressure to favor the other race is quite high. Some of the Half elves reject the pressure and pulls but try to broker peace and engage in trade between the two races to make personal profit.

It is true that D&D 5e Elf understand the nuances of loneliness. They are of the view that their birth is due to life experience and not out of racial amalgamation. In short, half elves are quite open to friendships and not rigid in their approach. They are not judgmental but have the tremendous tenacity to vary their capabilities according to the societies they live in.

Numerous races combine together to form half orcas or half dragons however elves occupy a special position in the minds of the people. Humans admiring the power of the elves regard their half cousins as the linking chain between the two races. Due to the high expectations of the humans, the creatures become the objects of derision when they fail to achieve the objectives. We also wrote a genasi dnd 5e guide and stats, as well as names.

Half elves are taught to raise their capabilities in order to eliminate the deficiencies cause due to human traits. The mentors train the elves to reject the genetic traits of the other half to ensure that they remain almost divine.

Half elves are different from half orcas because the latter are born out of violence. Mothers do not want to bear the off springs out of such associations. With other races, the creatures can forge unlikely alliances. Dwarves are particularly fond of half elves compared to the pure race. They regard the progeny as half human instead of the elf.

Characters such as gnomes and Halflings are curious of the Humanoid elf. The characters with mixed lineage of humans treat gnomes with disdain however they are envious the freedom the latter have. Gnomes are quite clever and enterprising; therefore they seek the help of the half elves to impart legitimacy to their businesses of adventures.

One of the most unique relations is between half elves and half orcs because they are not raised by humans and treat others as foes. If the elves are marginalized they feel a sense of Kinship towards the half orcs as the latter are also despised to a great extent. Half orcs are indebted towards their friends for empathy as they become bodyguards suiting to their brawny personalities. if you dont know about the d&d goblin subraces you will get to know from this.

Alignment and religion:

Isolation of the characters plays a very important role in influencing the behavior. They are neither cruel nor willing to bend to societal norms. In short, elves are known to have a chaotic but harmless personality. Due to lack of culture, the elves are less inclined to follow a religion. They start worshipping Gods later in their lives after coming in contacts with various communities.

D&D 5e Elf sense the attraction of the divine but refused to adhere to the religious beliefs. Individuals are more inclined to follow ideas of freedom, harmony and balance however some of the elves may abide by the religious instructions of the society. In fact, they find true comfort in kinship compared to deities.

Half elves are known to be Itinerants because they roam around in the land in search of home. Majority of the creatures want to leave legacy, therefore they become brave and fight the opponents in the battle field. Elves are more like humans because akin to the latter, they want to accumulate wealth and power to lead the rest of the lives in absolute comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) Of Elf

Q: What color are elves?

A: Basically, they have fair skin and also hair which runs in the hues from the silver-white to the black or else blue. Because, the human style hair colors are rare and also the eye color can be remarkably similar, with the colors ranging from the blue to green.

Q: Where are high elves from DND?

A: They have lived in the forests of the world and these high elves also known as eladrin.

Q: Do elves need sleep?

A: No, elves doesn’t need sleep.

Q: How long do elves live in dnd?

A: 750 years

Q: What do elves call themselves?

A: Quendi (“the Speakers”)

Q: Do elves get tired?

A: Yes! of course they get tired

Q: How many elf years are in human years?

A: There is a simple mathematical calculation to get the answer for this query. Suppose if you have 11 in the human years then you need to add 1 + 1 and you’re just 2 in the elf years. Suppose, you’re 27 in human years then you would only 9 (2 + 7) in the elf years.

Statement on Diversity and Inclusion at Events

Diversity and inclusion in the remote working industry are subjects that are close to the heart of the Big Orange Heart team. We value fostering a diverse and inclusive remote working industry because it is the right thing to do. If that isn’t a strong enough argument, having a diverse team and diverse representatives has proven again and again to create better products, foster a better work environment and, if you need the business case, to improve the bottom line.

Events are a highly visible face of the remote working industry. Not only are the speaker’s representatives of their respective companies and industries, but they will act as role models for attendees and external audiences. It is therefore vital that speaker lineups represent the diverse range of people who work remotely and that events foster an inclusive and welcoming experience for all of their potential attendees, no matter their gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, national origin, disability or any other protected characteristics. Any organisation that participates in remote working events needs to pay attention to these issues and work to make these events more diverse and more welcoming.

Supporting Diversity

Diversity Charter

That is why we have signed up to support the Diversity Charter events.

As part of our commitment, we will support diversity & inclusion in the following ways when it comes to events:

...Our team will not take part in panel discussions of two or more people unless there is at least one person of an underrepresented group on the panel, not including the chair.

...We will not speak at or sponsor an event unless the event’s organisers are clearly working hard to address the diversity of their speakers and attendees. We expect representation from different genders, ethnicities, abilities and other underrepresented groups.

...We will not participate in or sponsor events unless they operate under, and enforce, a published code of conduct. We developed our own code of conduct, we use for our BOH events. This code of conduct was based on and adapted from the amazing work of Open Source Bridge. We like codes of conduct that are specific and provide detailed enforcement information.

...We encourage, and will always use, inclusive language at events and in online communities surrounding events. This includes, but is not limited to, discouraging the use of gendered or ableist language.

...We will offer, and encourage other event organisers to offer, free or discounted diversity tickets for underrepresented groups in the remote working industry, and where necessary, financial help towards travel and/or accommodation if appropriate.

We’ll also hold ourselves to the same standards where our team is the host, for internal and public events as well. There will be times when event organisers are unable to meet the above rules, especially with smaller-scale events or meetups, as and when these occur we will take them on a case by case basis and are happy to discuss the guidelines with organisers and attendees alike.

We also will support and encourage the development of events that cater to specific underrepresented groups as a way to foster inclusion and diversity in our industry.

TiDB Lightning Configuration

This document provides samples for global configuration, task configuration, and TiKV Importer configuration in TiDB Lightning, and describes the usage of command-line parameters.

Configuration files

TiDB Lightning has two configuration classes: "global" and "task", and they have compatible structures. Their distinction arises only when the server mode is enabled. When server mode is disabled (the default), TiDB Lightning will only execute one task, and the same configuration file is used for both global and task configurations.

TiDB Lightning (Global)

### tidb-lightning global configuration

# The HTTP port for displaying the web interface, pulling Prometheus metrics, exposing debug data, and submitting import tasks (in server mode). Setting it to 0 disables the port.
status-addr = ':8289'

# Server mode. Defaults to false, which means an import task starts immediately after you execute the command.
# If this value is set to true, after you execute the command, TiDB Lightning waits until you submit an import task in the web interface.
# See the "TiDB Lightning Web Interface" section for details.
server-mode = false

# Logging
level = "info"
file = "tidb-lightning.log"
max-size = 128 # MB
max-days = 28
max-backups = 14

TiDB Lightning (Task)

### tidb-lightning task configuration

# Checks whether the cluster satisfies the minimum requirement before starting.
#check-requirements = true

# The maximum number of engines to be opened concurrently.
# Each table is split into one "index engine" to store indices, and multiple
# "data engines" to store row data. These settings control the maximum
# concurrent number for each type of engines.
# These values affect the memory and disk usage of tikv-importer.
# The sum of these two values must not exceed the max-open-engines setting
# for tikv-importer.
index-concurrency = 2
table-concurrency = 6

# The concurrency number of data. It is set to the number of logical CPU
# cores by default. When deploying together with other components, you can
# set it to 75% of the size of logical CPU cores to limit the CPU usage.
#region-concurrency =

# The maximum I/O concurrency. Excessive I/O concurrency causes an increase in
# I/O latency because the disk's internal buffer is frequently refreshed,
# which causes the cache miss and slows down the read speed. Depending on the storage
# medium, this value might need to be adjusted for optimal performance.
io-concurrency = 5

# The maximum number of non-fatal errors to tolerate before stopping TiDB Lightning.
# Non-fatal errors are localized to a few rows, and ignoring those rows allows the import process to continue.
# Setting this to N means that TiDB Lightning will stop as soon as possible when the (N+1)-th error is encountered.
# The skipped rows will be inserted into tables inside the "task info" schema on the target TiDB, which can be configured below.
max-error = 0
# task-info-schema-name is the name of the schema or database that stores TiDB Lightning execution results.
# To disable error recording, set this to an empty string.
# task-info-schema-name = 'lightning_task_info'

# In parallel import mode, the schema name that stores the meta information for each TiDB Lightning instance in the target cluster. By default, the value is "lightning_metadata".
# Configure this parameter only if parallel import is enabled.
# **Note:**
# - The value set for this parameter must be the same for each TiDB Lightning instance that participates in the same parallel import; otherwise, the correctness of the imported data cannot be ensured.
# - If parallel import mode is enabled, make sure that the user used for import (for the tidb.user configuration) has permissions to create and access the databases corresponding to this configuration.
# - TiDB Lightning removes this schema after the import is completed. So do not use any existing schema name to configure this parameter.
meta-schema-name = "lightning_metadata"

# Specifies certificates and keys for TLS connections within the cluster.
# Public certificate of the CA. Leave empty to disable TLS.
# ca-path = "/path/to/ca.pem"
# Public certificate of this service.
# cert-path = "/path/to/lightning.pem"
# Private key of this service.
# key-path = "/path/to/lightning.key"

# Whether to enable checkpoints.
# While importing data, TiDB Lightning records which tables have been imported, so
# even if TiDB Lightning or another component crashes, you can start from a known
# good state instead of restarting from scratch.
enable = true
# The schema name (database name) to store the checkpoints.
schema = "tidb_lightning_checkpoint"
# Where to store the checkpoints.
#  - file:  store as a local file.
#  - mysql: store into a remote MySQL-compatible database
driver = "file"
# The data source name (DSN) indicating the location of the checkpoint storage.
# For the "file" driver, the DSN is a path. If the path is not specified, TiDB Lightning would
# default to "/tmp/CHECKPOINT_SCHEMA.pb".
# For the "mysql" driver, the DSN is a URL in the form of "USER:PASS@tcp(HOST:PORT)/".
# If the URL is not specified, the TiDB server from the [tidb] section is used to
# store the checkpoints. You should specify a different MySQL-compatible
# database server to reduce the load of the target TiDB cluster.
# dsn = "/tmp/tidb_lightning_checkpoint.pb"
# Whether to keep the checkpoints after all data are imported. If false, the
# checkpoints will be deleted. Keeping the checkpoints can aid debugging but
# will leak metadata about the data source.
# keep-after-success = false

# "local": The default mode. It applies to large dataset import, for example, greater than 1 TiB. However, during the import, downstream TiDB is not available to provide services.
# "tidb": You can use this mode for small dataset import, for example, smaller than 1 TiB. During the import, downstream TiDB is available to provide services.
# backend = "local"
# Whether to allow importing data to tables with data. The default value is `false`.
# When you use parallel import mode, you must set it to `true`, because multiple TiDB Lightning instances are importing the same table at the same time.
# incremental-import = false

# The listening address of tikv-importer when backend is "importer". Change it to the actual address.

# Action to do when trying to insert a duplicated entry in the "tidb" backend.
#  - replace: use new entry to replace the existing entry

#  - error: report error and quit the program
# on-duplicate = "replace"
# Whether to detect and resolve duplicate records (unique key conflict) when the backend is 'local'.
# The following resolution algorithms are supported:
#  - record: only records duplicate records to the `lightning_task_info.conflict_error_v1` table on the target TiDB. Note that the
#    required version of the target TiKV is no earlier than v5.2.0; otherwise it falls back to 'none'.
#  - none: does not detect duplicate records, which has the best performance of the three algorithms, but might lead to
#    inconsistent data in the target TiDB.
#  - remove: records all duplicate records to the lightning_task_info database, like the 'record' algorithm. But it removes all duplicate records from the target table to ensure a consistent
#    state in the target TiDB.
# duplicate-resolution = 'none'
# The number of KV pairs sent in one request in the "local" backend.
# send-kv-pairs = 32768
# The directory of local KV sorting in the "local" backend. If the disk
# performance is low (such as in HDD), it is recommended to set the directory
# on a different disk from `data-source-dir` to improve import speed.
# sorted-kv-dir = ""
# The concurrency that TiKV writes KV data in the "local" backend.
# When the network transmission speed between TiDB Lightning and TiKV
# exceeds 10 Gigabit, you can increase this value accordingly.
# range-concurrency = 16

# Block size for file reading. Keep it longer than the longest string of the data source.
read-block-size = "64KiB" # default value

# The engine file needs to be imported sequentially. Due to parallel processing,
# multiple data engines will be imported at nearly the same time, and this
# creates a queue and wastes resources. Therefore, TiDB Lightning slightly
# increases the size of the first few batches to properly distribute
# resources. The scale up factor is controlled by this parameter, which
# expresses the ratio of duration between the "import" and "write" steps
# with full concurrency. This can be calculated by using the ratio
# (import duration/write duration) of a single table of size around 1 GiB.
# The exact timing can be found in the log. If "import" is faster, the batch
# size variance is smaller, and a ratio of zero means a uniform batch size.
# This value should be in the range (0 <= batch-import-ratio < 1).
batch-import-ratio = 0.75

character-set = "auto"

# Specifies the character set of the source data file. Lightning converts the source file from the specified character set to UTF-8 encoding when importing.

# - utf8mb4: Indicates that the source data file uses UTF-8 encoding.
# - GB18030: Indicates that the source data file uses the GB-18030 encoding.
# - GBK: The source data file uses GBK encoding (GBK encoding is an extension of the GB-2312 character set, also known as Code Page 936).
# - binary: Indicates that Lightning does not convert the encoding (by default).
# If left blank, the default value "binary" is used, that is to say, Lightning does not convert the encoding.
# Note that Lightning does not predict about the character set of the source data file and only converts the source file and import the data based on this configuration.
# If the value of this configuration is not the same as the actual encoding of the source data file, a failed import, data loss or data disorder might appear.
data-character-set = "binary"
# Specifies the replacement character in case of incompatible characters during the character set conversion of the source data file.
# This configuration must not be duplicated with field separators, quote definers, and line breaks.

# Changing the default value might result in potential degradation of parsing performance for the source data file.
data-invalid-char-replace = "\uFFFD"

# the input data in a "strict" format speeds up processing.
# "strict-format = true" requires that:

# when quoted, which means new lines are strictly used to separate rows.
# "Strict" format allows TiDB Lightning to quickly locate split positions of a large file for parallel processing.
# However, if the input data is not "strict", it may split a valid data in half and
# corrupt the result.
# The default value is false for safety instead of speed.
strict-format = false

AC Induction Motor Speeds

Friday - 02/11/2018 14:22
AC motors are unique because they are built to run at specific speeds regardless of their design or manufacturer. The speed of an AC motor is dependent on the number of poles it has and the line frequency of the power supply, not on it’s voltage.
AC Induction Motor Speeds
Motor Speeds Explained: Diving into AC and DC Motors
Speed, torque, power and voltage are all important considerations when choosing a motor. In this two-part blog, we’ll dive into the specifics of motor speeds. In Part 1, we’ll discuss how speed differs between motor types, and in Part 2, we’ll look at when to consider adding a gearbox to the application.Common AC motor units are constructed with either two or four poles. A magnetic field is created in the stator poles that induces resulting magnetic fields in the rotor which follow the frequency of the changing magnetic field in the stator. Two pole AC motors operating at 60 Hz will always run at approximately 3600 rpm, and four pole AC motors will have speeds around 1800 rpm.
Speed = 120 x frequency (Hz) / poles of the motor
Example 120 x 60 hertz / 4 poles = 1,800 rpm.
Keep in mind that the speed of an AC motor will not run at these exact numbers—and will be slightly lower—because there is a certain amount of slip that must be present for the motor to produce torque. The rotor will always rotate slower than the magnetic field of the stator and is playing a constant game of catch up.
This produces the torque to get an AC motor running. The difference between the synchronous speeds of the stator (3600 and 1800 rpm) and the actual operating speed is called slip. (For more information on slip, check out our blog Synchronous & Induction Motors: Discovering the Difference.)
A control can be used to alter the speed of a three phase AC motor by increasing or decreasing the frequency that is sent to the motor, causing it to speed up or slow down. Additionally, many AC controls have a single phase input so this allows you to run 3 phase motors in facilities that don’t have 3 phase power available.
However, this ability to alter the speed isn’t typically the case for single phase AC motors. These motors are plugged directly into a standard wall outlet and operate using the set frequency available. An exception to this rule of thumb would be a ceiling fan that runs using single phase AC motor, but has three different speed settings.
DC Motor Speeds
Although permanent magnet DC motors are also built with poles, these poles don’t impact speed like with AC motors because there are several other factors in play with DC motors. The number of wire turns in an armature, the operating voltage of the motor, and the strength of the magnets all affect motor speed.
If a DC motor is running on a 12 V battery, that is the maximum voltage available to the unit and the motor will only be able to perform at a speed rated for 12 V. If the battery is low and supplying less voltage, the speed will decrease accordingly.
Now, if you connect that same 12 VDC motor into a 24 VDC power source, your speed typically doubles. Keep in mind, operating the motor at twice the speed at the same load/torque point will cause the motor to work harder, creating additional heat that could cause premature motor failure over time.
As with three phase AC and Brushless DC motors, controls can be used with DC motors. DC controls adjust speed by varying the voltage sent to the motor (this differs from AC motor controls which adjust the line frequency to the motor).
Typical no load or synchronous speeds for an AC fractional horsepower motor are 1800 or 3600 rpm, and 1000-5000 rpm for DC fractional hp motors. If an application calls for a slower speed and/or higher torque, then a gear motor should be considered. To learn more about adding a reducer, check out Part 2, “Motor Speeds Explained: When to Use a Gearbox.”

St Patricks Park, Dublin

I had been to St Patricks Park before. Just never with camera in hand and an eye on reviewing it. There is a difference.

But I love this park. I like the personal touch to it – the signs of which are, literally, everywhere.

Of particular note *and something that makes the park so very beautiful are the little ode’s to those [possibly surpising] who knew the park so well [as versus political heads who never really went there at all]. One of those is to Tom Keegan, a previous head gardener and he is just one of many.

I like the layout. The park is well maintained. People in there seemed relaxed and the pace of life on entering somehow seems to slow motion slightly.

There’s an unusual mix of old and new…. but it is funny that one wouldn’t be so aware which parts are the more modern. Add to that a fine backdrop of the Cathedral and the fact that the rails between have been left ‘not blocked off’.

It was only last week when I visited here [early Feb], whilst there were minor changes and touches that I may add, the reality is it is one of Dublins better parks.

Two things. First, this is the second mention I have given to the river poddle and [secondly] Nice to see the Lord Iveagh touch here again…. makes me want to say thanks to the chap for such a fine legacy that he has certainly left behind.

Go take a look, bring the coffee, relax and enjoy. Well worth the trip.

According to Dublin City Councils website

Situated beside St. Patrick’s Cathedral, tradition has it that St. Patrick baptised the first Irish Christians there with water from the River Poddle which flows underground.  Developed by Lord Iveagh under the St. Patrick’s Park Act of 1897, work was completed by July 1904 to a layout by Arthur Dudgeon C.E., dated 17th July 1901.  Lord Iveagh continued to maintain the park for a number of years under a joint arrangement with the Corporation who eventually took full responsibility in the 1920’s.

The park provides an ideal setting for the cathedral and recent additions in 1988 include a Literary Parade highlighting the works of Swift, Mangan, Wilde, Shaw, Yeats, Synge, O’Casey, Joyce, Behan, Beckett, Clarke, Dillon and the Liberty Bell Sculpture. There is also a childrens playground.

Some Irish Birds…

The weather outside is absolutely freezing… it has been for some time now and today the snow fell in Ballyboughal heavy enough to concern me. With that in mind I had reckoned I should do a post on some things frost[y] related.

In what I can only describe as a sincerely very welcome press release [and I get a lot…] …it’s especially for you guys and it’s all about birds. Got an apartment, balcony, a billion acres of garden or not then read on.

As you can gather the weather is causing havoc for a lot of of our wild birds such as the sparrow, the thrush and the Goldfinch and BirdWatch Ireland [I had mentioned the Bird Watch boys previously] are on a mission to encourage people to put out food for the birds that visit their gardens. According to Oran O Sullivan [this is the press realease bit…. 😉 ]

Cooked household scraps as well as peanuts and mixed seed all provide a vital source of energy for garden birds, particularly important as daylight hours are short and frozen ground affects garden birds ability to hunt for prey items. Remember to keep feeding regularly through the winter months, putting out food in early morning. It is also important to provide fresh water as many normal water sources are frozen over.

I myself  like to buy a big bag of feed [both types] nuts and seed. The seed is so the little ‘uns get something [the bigger birds cant get their beaks through the gauze].

When I was growing up we always left out some stale bread and water milk for them… but then I have two dogs and four hens…. not really enough waste to around I guess 😉

Anyhow… it’s good fun and depending on what you put outside for them… it’s also free.

I had done this post previously on birds in my garden.

950 Volunteers – 1 Week – 200 New Houses

Wallacedene, Cape Town, South Africa.

My third year to travel with The Garden of Hope Team, this year was always going to be yet another amazing project. As most of you know by now, I travel not to build houses but as part of a team of gardeners to, this year, build a community playground, football pitch and vegetable and fruit gardens.

What we didn’t bank on was the rain…. and by God did it fall.

But the options were….? We did have one half day of rain stops play… we then worked through as it got worse to make up the lost hours. And in the end it did work out. The sun started shining. It was always gonna happen 😉

I’ve had to pause here writing this post…. It’s upsetting to be honest. My voice is gone. My bones are sore. There’s a pride inside me for what I as part of a team did… and then I think that maybe I could have done more. I’ve tears in my eyes. I’ve turned on the heating and type on my laptop and I’m trying, really trying not to write a sad post. Maybe to speak of the families and children with HIV and on housing lists for over 20 years…. when the rain came down one of the guys was telling me of a man they met with a frying pan trying to keep the water from his shack. I doubt he slept that night. But the people are so happy, friendly and polite. The children still smile. To see them dancing in middle of the water feature… that was the moment I took. Maybe I’ve numbed slightly to it after 3 years…

I heard of one lady. Originally from South Africa. She works in a pub in Ireland and for the last five years has saved her tips. This year she done the trip. She paid €5,000 to come to South Africa to work. The same as all of the Irish did. I worked with ladies in their 60’s and 70’s who laboured as myself and Colin lay cobbles. I met people who had lost loved ones so recently. Those who had no jobs to return home to in Ireland…. I’ve just thought of them too.

I’m gonna sit and have a cuppa now. The vid is done. I have some writing done here and a blog post to thank you all so much for your support. In garden terms… I think you’ll agree the volunteers made the best of it and kept the smile sunny side up… More than that – I know you will agree that our new friends in Wallacedene love it.

Thank you all for everything…. see you in a little.

Father Collins Park

Fr Collins Park

I was talking to a friend of mine, Aidan, gate meister extraordinaire and part time garden enthusiast…. he was telling me about this [now] park that used to be a field where he and his Father used to hunt when he was younger…

Peter, you just got to go & see this park… it is out of this world

I knew the field. I said I would. I did.

To describe this park in a few words is impossible. To describe it on video would be unfair. This is without a doubt possibly the finest ‘new’ park I have ever seen in my life.

Named after Father [Fr] Joseph Collins who was the hardest working and first parish priest of the Donaghmede area the 52 acre park took about 1.5 years to build.

It is young. In fact it is still unfinished in parts. But it is pure genius at its absolute finest. I like the fact that no soil was removed to build the huge water area left the site… instead it was banked. I love that the old surrounding woodlands were kept in tact and replenished with younger native trees. Even better is the 5 wind turbines that power every single element required for the park to operate. Something more?? The wetland areas in the park are the filtration systems for the parks water and the lake and the wetlands are the drainage system for the football pitches!

From a tree planting point of view… it has a bit to go, but for the most part the maturest and finest specimens were used. It is a park I will very much look forward to seeing mature over the years. From a plant point… it’s been kept simple. Planting is en mass. But planting has been considered very wisely and logically.

Could I pick a fault? No. Not one. As I said it is a young park. In fact it only opened a few months ago. It is evolving. Still. It is still getting over the usual teething problems – but – I wouldn’t let that get in my way.

Jogger, skateboarder, walker, footballer, family, cyclist or tree hugger… you name it –  all catered for here. Even where I live in Bally-go-pothole I am so envious of the people who live within walking distance of this awe inpiring gem. It was raining when I was there and not even that could put me off wanting to take my time.

I think Joseph Collins is smiling [a big one at that] knowing what was built in his name. Brilliant. Pure Genius. Love it 🙂

Go take a look.

lawn problems….?

Last year from around the middle of May through June Bank Holiday weekend climates and weather almost mirrored that of  what we are having now.

With reference to lawns here are the articles that I wrote then:

**images 4 & 5 are a patch of grass I started to repair about 6 weeks ago. The rest of the images are from last year [2008]

One should really take the first article and read it well. The second of course being my sense of humour but still a very logic answer.

I have prepared lawns that have had full seed germination within 10 days. I have also prepared lawns where very little to nothing will happen…

  • as long as one of the factors required for the growth of any plant is missing
  • as long as it is not ‘logic’ for the seed to germinate
  • as long as we do not have ‘typical irish weather’

And the answer to that of course is when it comes to nature sometimes patience is the greatest asset. My own lawn prepared about a month before I wrote the above articles is clear evidence of that and hence where I got the photographs from, The lawn sown in the pebbles almost a better germination…?

One may have had the soil prepared and presented well when the contractor left the garden… the soil may have dipped and hollowed slightly… some may have the ‘sahara desert’ cracking effect… in some cases some stone has been brought to the surface… all in all it looks a bit rough. I assure you – unless one has a bottom-less supply of rolled turf, a fire hydrant on full blast over night where the lawn will take in the most water and a shaded [completely] garden – no green [or very little] will appear… Funny thing is, the weeds will most likely grow there first.

I have just re-read – again – my article from last year…. and I once again realise that not even a degree in horticulture will help one here… it didn’t help me. It just helped me to understand better the why and why nots.

The truth is even when all of that is overcome…. the shelves of the supermarket gardens centres are brimmed with horticultural paraphernalia to help you and your lawn… and for very good reason. Clover, moss, weeds, fertiliser the list goes on *and* has done for eons…

What To Look When Hiring a Pressure Washing Company

Pressure washing is a popular home increase and property repair services because it is affordable, cost-effective and can make extraordinary differences in appeal and sidewalk values. This is especially important if you look at selling your commercial house or place.

Many DIY fans can choose to do their own pressure washing. Many people have their own pressure washing machines and pressure washing equipment or they may know someone that they can borrow a pressure washing machine from to do work. But if you want to hire or involve professional pressure washing services companies, there are some suggestions that you might want to consider previously to avoid tearing, having your property broken or only have bad experiences in general.

Image Source: Google

Washing pressure does not require formal education such as other trade in the construction industry such as plumbing or electricity. Anyone can easily buy or obtain a power washing machine and start their own power washing business and basically learn how to do work at work.

It does not have certain respect and is assumed that there is nothing to know and anyone can do work without experience or knowledge about the industry and work procedures.

But this is a very wrong view and many contractors will make mistakes during their phase of establishment, usually the first few years at least when they study their new trade.

Parcels adjacent to Town of Clayton properties

Adjacent Parcels Next to Town Owned Properties

The Town has initiated a rezoning project to address zoning irregularities for 65 Town-owned properties that are currently under the wrong zoning district(s). Per the Town of Clayton’s Unified Development Code, the Town must rezone these 65 properties to the proper zoning district of Public Facilities (PF).

The Town of Clayton’s Unified Development Code describes the Public Facilities zoning district as the following:

PF | Public Facilities: The PF district is established to provide a coordinated land planning approach to the sale, rent, lease, purchase, management, or alteration of publicly owned or operated lands. Notwithstanding those public uses permitted elsewhere in this Code, the PF district is primarily intended for, although not limited to, public parks and recreation areas, public buildings and facilities, and other capital improvements of a significant nature. (Ord. 2015-09-03, adopted 09/28/2015)

At this time there are no current plans to buy, sell, or develop the properties that are part of this rezoning. All future actions would prompt further communication and notice per Town of Clayton Unified Development Code requirements.

For more information, please visit the Parcels Adjacent to Town Property webpage or contact the Town of Clayton Planning Department at or by phone at (919) 553-5002.

Clayton Police Officers Honored with Prestigious Life Saving Award

Life-saving Award

At the Jan. 18 Town Council meeting, Police Chief Greg Tart had the honor of presenting the Life Saving Award to four Clayton Police Department employees. These men took action in the face of danger to help individuals who, without immediate assistance, would have been in imminent danger of death.

Lt. LeQuire, Sgt. Mims, Officer Banks, and Officer Demarest received the Life Saving Award for their courageous dedication to providing safety and protecting life.

Chief Tart shared some background on why these men received this honorable award. The event discussed is a pending court case, and to protect the integrity of the case and judicial process only minimal details can be shared.

Lt. LeQuire, Sgt. Mims, Officer Banks, and Officer Demarest were all on duty when they received a call from Johnston County 911 for a single car motor vehicle accident. The vehicle had run off the road and hit a tree. The vehicle then flipped and landed upside down, blocking both lanes of traffic.

The officers responded, and when they arrived, they realized there was an engine fire on the vehicle. Officer Demarest retrieved his fire extinguisher from his car and immediately put out the fire. He then noticed two nine-month-old infants in the back seat of the vehicle. Officer Demarest climbed into the vehicle and rescued the infants from the car seat that had trapped them upside down. Lt. LeQuire, a certified paramedic, monitored the infants as the men awaited Johnston County EMS and Clayton Fire Department's arrival to the scene.

Sgt. Mims and Officer Banks attempted to locate the driver of the vehicle, who fled the scene on foot. While searching the area, they heard splashing sounds and discovered a woman who was struggling in a pond and asking for help. Sgt. Mims and Officer Banks found a boat and paddled out to retrieve the woman, potentially saving her from drowning.

"They will tell you this is a job. This is not a job - it's a calling," said Chief Tart. This story is evidence of that calling. These men exemplified commitment, selflessness, skillfulness, and more. Thank you, Lt. LeQuire, Sgt. Mims, Officer Banks, and Officer Demarest. It is an honor to recognize your service with the Life Saving Award.
