Salem Chapel B&B

Betws Garmon, Caernarfon, Gwynedd, LL54 7YR, Wales

Welsh Tourist Board

Salem Chapel B&B and Nature Reserve
Salem Chapel was constructed in 1867 for the Calvinist Methodist Church. In 1991 it was converted into a house incorporating many original features. Situated in a slightly elevated position in Salem, Betws Garmon on the A4085 between Caernarfon (5.5 miles), and Beddgelert (5 miles), it is easy to find and has a private driveway and parking.

The Chapel has fine views over the water meadows and out nature reserve on the banks of the Afon Gwyrfai (river). This is a splendid, tranquil place to relax, dip ones toes into the mountain water and watch the hundreds of small fish that always seem to be there. This private reserve is a designated 'Site of Special Scientific Interest'. We are fortunate that it is a favourite place of the Gwyrfai otters and they appear here on a fairly regular basis to feed and play. Our guests may use our willow hide to watch them and the herons, dippers, kingfishers and barn owls which may be seen. Badgers and even pine martins are also in the locality. The meadow is rich with Marsh Marigolds, Flags Iris, Marsh Cinquefoil and a great many other wild flowers and there are many varieties of Dragon and Damsel flies which can be seen on warm days flying over the water.
Back at the house there are reference books and binoculars available for use and a wildlife diary in which to enter your sightings.

Looking beyond the river there are good views of the Welsh Highland Railway as it negotiaties the fringes of the 'Elephant' mountian (Mynydd Mawr), a popular landmark and walk. The pathway to the top of the Elephant Mountain starts at the foot bridge over the river opposite the chapel and takes a couple of hours. From the ridge there are excellent views of Snowdon and Anglesey.
The Welsh Highland Railway runs between Caernarfon, Waunfawr, Beddgelert and Porthmadog. Access to the railway is at Plas y Nant Halt a 5 min walk south of the Chapel.

Accommodation - there are 2 large double/twin rooms on the 1st floor, with ensuite showers, both rooms are equipped with TV, Tea & Coffee facilities and storage heaters.

Success Story

Apr 2, 2011 3:29:09 PM - thesundayleader.lk

The resource panel of “Taming the Beast in the Forest” presentation at Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL); Left to right: Financial Sector Expert Group Member (FSEGM) Ajith Devasurendra, The Finance Company PLC( Director/CEO Kamal Yatawara, FSEGM Aritta Wickramanayake, CBSL Deputy Governor P.D.J. Fernando, Assistant Governor P. Samarasiri and Non- Bank Financial Institutions Supervision Dept. Director Mrs. Nelumani Daulagala

Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) didn’t have to infuse treasury funds to put the affected The Finance Company PLC (TFC) back on its feet by coming up with a successful restructuring strategy that has already shown remarkable progress.
This was revealed at the recent Evening Presentation conducted by CBSL’s Centre for Banking Studies (CBS) themed “Taming the Beast in the Forest: Experiences from the Finance Companies” referring to the state of affairs of affected institutions that existed then.
It was also mentioned that TFC was the first to “Come out of the Woods.” Earlier this year TFC successfully concluded a public share issue which was mostly subscribed by the largest banks in Sri Lanka.
The most noteworthy achievement of TFC is the resilience it showed due to prudent policies adopted by CBSL  during the crisis the financial sector experienced within the last two years and also at a time some international financing giants fell as a result of the global recession.

Will the USA endorse a second term for Ban-Ki-moon as UN Secy-Gen?

Jul 23, 2010 9:55:10 PM- transcurrents.com

In May 2006, Ban Ki-moon made his public debut as a candidate for U.N. secretary-general at a Q-and-A session at the Council on Foreign Relations. About 20 minutes into the event, Ban's toneless and awkward English and studiously vacuous answers had put me sound asleep. I should have realized then that he was the perfect candidate for the job.

Today, two-thirds of the way into his first term, Ban has worsted even the low expectations that attended his candidacy. States that care about the United Nations -- and above all, the United States -- should prevent him from doing further harm to the institution by ensuring that he does not serve a second term.

Ban's mediocrity is no accident. Secretaries-general, after all, are hired for negative rather than positive attributes. The second person ever appointed to the post, a previously obscure Swedish bureaucrat named Dag Hammarskjold, infused the job with his own deep sense of moral calling, fearlessly offending the world's most powerful states before being killed in a plane crash in 1961. Since then, however, the permanent members of the Security Council, which largely control the selection process, have conscientiously vetted for dynamism. Ronald Reagan's administration was quite prepared to award a third term to Kurt Waldheim, a former Nazi who proved to be the most anodyne figure ever to hold the top U.N. job. But he had competition: It was said of his successor, Javier Pérez de Cuellar, that he couldn't make a splash if he fell out of a boat.

Kofi Annan, whom Clinton administration officials identified as the perfect replacement for Boutros Boutros-Ghali -- who had made himself a thorn in Washington's side -- appeared to be the perfect steward: decent, modest, clerical. And yet Annan was the first secretary-general since Hammarskjold to fire the public imagination, calling for states to respect the rights of their own citizens and championing the cause of humanitarian intervention. But Annan fell afoul of George W. Bush's administration when he opposed, if ever so diplomatically, the plan to go to war in Iraq. Opposition from the White House and the American right made the remainder of his tenure hell.

Ban Ki-moon, a colorless South Korean bureaucrat and the favored candidate of U.S. Ambassador John Bolton, was the cure for Annan's dangerous charisma. China, which exercised effective veto rights over the choice of an "Asian candidate," was equally pleased with a figure who would lower the U.N.'s profile.

With no new Iraq melodrama or four-alarm scandal, attention largely shifted away from the U.N. during Ban's first years. The first public hint that the new secretary-general was sapping the U.N.'s strength came last August, when a Norwegian newspaper printed a leaked memo from Norway's deputy U.N. representative, Mona Juul. The memo alleged that the "spineless and charmless" Ban had failed to stand up in the face of massive human rights abuses in Myanmar, Sri Lanka, and elsewhere, instead issuing "irresolute" appeals that "fall on deaf ears." Juul claimed that the U.N. was largely absent from the world's great crises and that Ban had lost the faith and respect of both member states and his own staff. ~ courtesy: Foreign Policy ~

The Odyssée Tour // Anouck Grau

Anouck Grau is a French-Swiss snowboarder and part of the Volcom family. Outside of snowboarding, she has been involved in the making of "Ride The Wall", an exhibition representing the urban culture from every angle and mixing art to the sport through athletes, photographers and big-name artists. The first edition was held from 7th to 27th of June this past summer in Geneva, and it was a success. Since this, she’s kept busy and the magazine E-adrenaline ( just interviewed her about her latest project, an exhibition in partnership with “Art By Friends”, on showcase from September 18th at the Geneva Artspace. As the real article is in French, we’ve taken the liberty to translate it to English for all you non-French speakers.

Hi Anouck, can you tell us how did you get the idea for the next show?

After Ride The Wall I wanted to continue to host events related to art and sports. So naturally I decided to team up with Art By Friends, a platform that has shared this passion for many years. The new project “Odyssée Tour” is a traveling exhibition and Geneva is a perfect city for this show.

How can we put the snowboard forward through art?

There are so many connections between the two disciplines, with the photo and video of snowboard for example. Today the playground of snowboarders is becoming more creative: the spots, tricks… It's all an art form. And then there is also the collab between artists and snowboard brands. The explanation could be very long.

What is the message you want to convey?

Somehow I would like to improve the image that our sport has and also highlight the artistic part of it, which is sometimes hiding. Snowboarding (or skating) is not just about youth gangs who are partying, it's an investment of 150%, a fitness routine, a lot of creativity, finding spots to practice their passion. Then you also have people who want to promote values such as ecology.

Did you intend to create other events such as the Odyssée?

Yes, my head is full of ideas for future expositions planned for the first half of next year. And of course, it will have a Ride The Wall 2 and we’ll prepare something crazy.

You are known to ride street spots. What is your favorite destination to practice?

Between two expos, I try to stay in small stations around Annecy. Otherwise Tignes is great for street riding. We are a good team with the crew of the Minority or Avoriaz.

Where will you be when the snow will be back?

Between my gallery and mountains tops. We are planning a trip to Helsinki with Volcom to do some street riding.

Have you managed to cure your hip problem?

Unfortunately the pain is still there, it's tough mentally to say we did everything, and that change takes time ... I try to be fit, eat well and swim a lot (the best sport you can do when nothing else is possible to do). We'll see in the future but I would attack this winter of course!

Thank you Anouck, fingers crossed to see you on the snow as soon as possible.

Xo Coco Ho Documentary - A Look at the Famous Surfer's Career
This is the compelling story of Coco Ho and her 10 years on tour Dive into the colorful story of female surfer Coco Ho from Oahu’s North Shore and learn how she got started surfing, her rich surfing family history, ups and downs on the Championship Tour, and everything in between. Including exclusive interviews with brother, Mason Ho, father, Michael Ho, and world champion surfers John John Florence and Stephanie Gilmore. Coco Ho picked up surfing at an early age Coco Ho started surfing at the young age of seven after following in the footsteps of her brother and father. As Coco recalls, "I just remember trying to impress my brother. My whole growing up was all to impress Mason." Mason Ho and Coco Ho Living and learning on the tour for the past 10 years now, Coco is looking forward to focusing solely on her surfing and letting it speak for itself. She's in the right mindset, has the ability, and feels more inspired and energized than ever before. "I'm not going to let anything get in the way this time. I'm going for the world title." Today, Coco has won over 25 surfing awards and has been voted a top three fan favorite in Surfer Magazine's Surfer Poll Take a look at a two-part excerpt from the edit with Coco Ho, Mason Ho, and Michael Ho:
Following the success of the joint Volcom Snow Team House/Marketing Facility in, which we’ve held since the winter of 2004, we figured that doing something particularly for our beloved French snow accounts was long overdue. It turns out not everyone can be bought with Beers & Schnitzels! Besides, the French Alps are, after all, home of arguably THE most impressive chunks of rocks in all of Europe. Many French location options were initially considered (Val D’isere, Portes Du Soleil, La Grave, etc) but in the end all roads and arrows pointed at Chamonix. There’s just no escaping this mythical village, or small town if you like, equally adored as it is feared and even dreaded. Given our commitment to making outerwear as technically advanced and rider-appealing as any mountain gear manufacturer out there, then field testing it in the harshest conditions available, (Be it on top of Aiguille du Midi mid-Blizzard or inside Elevation Bar during Scando happy hour) Chamonix was chosen faster than CGT can set up a road block. Voila! Deal sealed We took over a ravishing Chalet for a 3-week period, then sent out invites to our dearest accounts to come join us in celebration of life, aka snowboarding. What better place to get better acquainted with Volcom’s proprietary Zip Tech, Face Tech and TDS technologies than while riding and taking in the stunning, unrivalled high-alpine beauty of the Chamonix valley? A typical day started with a massive breakfast prepared by one of our marketing clowns, then assessing conditions, picking the right outerwear for the conditions and finally deciding, in close conjunction with one our guides, which mountain to grace with our presence. Snow Team riders Arthur Longo, Vale Ducourtil, Oli Gittler and many others all came by for various periods of time, entertaining and pushing our guests beyond their abilities, while showing them what’s possible on a snowboard when not spending your life in an office. Then, in hot pursuit close behind or slightly ahead (All depending on the best angle) was our long-time photographer extraordinaire Vernon Deck, immortalizing perhaps some of their finest riding ever captured on film and video as an added bonus for our dear visitors. Come 4 pm it was Beer o’clock, either directly in our on-site wheels, the Volcom Snow motor home, or where ever the nearest beer on tap was to be found. Upon returning to our chalet, showering & snacking, it was time for massages, movies, story talk or simply chilling.. Then at nite off we went to one of our many mouth-watering restaurants of choice, before returning back home to the good ole Chamschack chalet to sleep, dream of what tomorrow brings and repeat. On the rare occasion that someone wasn’t falling over by now but surprisingly still had juice in them for more, young stallion Vince was always standby, frothing to undo the top button of his shirt and let them chest hairs hit the highly gender-disparity challenged Chamonix nightlife. Would you expecting anything else? Your friends at Volcom Snow always keeps an eye open for every scenario. But that is a story all of its own. Merci Beaucoup to everyone who came to visit us, our guides, Man & Wolf Beer, Chamonix itself, Nitro and Korua for boards WELCOME TO THE VOLCOM CHAM SHACK HOUSE 2018 Happy camper  Snow legend Polo Tornado from Laboshop with style Sure beats a day at the office Valé Ducourtil, Polo Tornado, and Mr Caule spliting Tailgrab with the freak Mat Siboni L'1prévue shop The reward of a good split session It's important to celebrate when you have a good day Vallée Blanch mission with Valé and the group Valérian digs Vanilla Ice Le Brevent side view Our guide Paul at Le Tour David was always the first to sertve up cold ones.

Burger Invasion in Spain
We had a blast this weekend at the Burger Invasion festival with back to back concerts in Barcelona and Madrid! Burger Records, the Californian music label set up an eclectic line up that pumped the audience crescendo. The shows started with the delicacy of Younghusband, following with Cotillon, then some psychedelic sounds from The Molochs. At the time Wand took over the stage with their trippy progressive sounds, spirits were already high, but when The Garden started their show, it completely exploded (go check their stage act when you’ve got the chance). The show ended with The Dwarves, turning the front rows into a mosh pit, with some “punk rock (that) is good for you” . To top that up, the venues were legendary (Apolo in Barcelona and Joy Eslava in Madrid), and there was plenty of Volcom surprises for everyone including a year of Volcom Jeans supply to two lucky winners. No needs to say, good times were had by all. Don’t miss next one when those shows hit your town!

THIS IS THE FORGOTTEN STORY OF ATTUNGA Attunga - The Aboriginals used the term to define "a high place." And that was the exact place our group was searching for. Or was it a feeling? To navigate the globe, to harness the spirit of a single moment in time created by a collective of individuals, to find a higher place for an elevated state of being – Attunga. Without hesitation, we jumped into action and began our journey. A daily diary was written. Each day’s adventure noted, madness scribed. The crew documents in an attempt to record what would be known to Attunga as the most influential group to ever occupy its presence. Then, the diary was lost. Mishandled. Hours of line-by-line transcribing of pure gold vanished as if nothing ever happened. Left in the fresh Australian Alps. A page ripped out of a larger story only to be known to a select few. It was said to contain their unapologetic quest for a higher place. This was the chapter of Attunga.   Not since Attunga's early days had a group of 15 men troubled the grounds with musical instruments and a thirst of 100% Victorian hops and malt which goes by the name of Furphy. This beer, the Volcom Snow Family longed-for. It was their weakness, but it didn’t hold them back. Not at all. It only fueled their true passion for living. Snowboarding. Music. Skating. There were no downtimes. Those outwardly disturbed neighbors, rattled from their foreign beds and thundered by group chants with overwrought behavior, only marveled the next day as the team soared high above their heads. Finding side-hits where previously thought impossible, approaching jumps at unprecedented speeds, riding down the mountain together all in a consistent, but unique way. They were on the search for a higher place. A place which previously occupied a state of mind unbeknownst to their fellow man. This place was the pinnacle of their search. And it was mesmerizing. This was the long-forgotten story of Attunga, only briefly told. A temporary remembrance of what once was. An anecdote. It seems archaic to draw a timeline from memory and not tangible proof. But, then again, that’s the story of Attunga. Did it really happen? We must digress. Continue on. The story is out there. In a higher place that's joined with its unparalleled state of mind. Lost in a diary that doesn’t want to be found. Buried beneath, somewhere deep in Falls Creek. Photos by Vernon Deck + E-Stone:
The Volcom Cham Shack Womens Invasion !
Volcom womens took over the Volcom Cham Shack beginning of February, in Chamonix, France. The ladies that joined us were: Camille, Fanny,  Lili,  Kicki,  Alba,  Silvia,  Jess,  and  @maudlecar Some of the coolest girls from Paris, Berlin, Barcelona and London together with our brand ambassador Maud Le car, flew to the Volcom Chamonix House in Chamonix to be part of a unique experience. Jess Gavigan, aka Juice  describes her journey ! ‘A couple of weeks ago I headed out to  Chamonix for a snow adventure with Volcom. I left Bali to do the trip and then return to Asia straight after because the trip sounded so amazing and I really wanted to work with Volcom! The long journey was made up for it by the first night accommodation. COZY SETTINGS LEVEL 100. The hotel was amazing, and I had the most amazing room with a view, and was greeted with a bed full of amazing gifts from Volcom, clarins and electric. GASSEDDDD. That was a great start to the whole trip, but I won't  go into it loads cos there's too many sick parts... We went to the Volcom store to pick out some stuff, which was totally unexpected - if the gifts on the bed weren't enough we got free reign inside the store (like kids in a candy shop). We got to try snow shoeing, which was a new experience for me! And I loved it. It was sick doing a mini trek up the mountain, perfect weather conditions and the icing on the cake was the house we went to for dinner. It was unreal. Everything hand made, hand cooked. The food was WOWOW, and we each got given a quartz crystal which was all found on the mountains by the husband. It was such a special night and I've been keeping the crystal in my pocket everyday (travelling through Asia) The bit I was most excited about was snowboarding in our new gear. I was stoked to ride with lucie, vernon, olivier, Maude Alba and Silvia. We got to go and ride around and take some sick shots. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN. I loved everyone we all got on so well. And then we did a couple all girl runs GIRL POWER haha The clarins spa was next level. Getting pampered was heavenly and the outdoor swimming pool/jacuzzi was a really nice end to the day. The whole trip was sick. The group got on so well and everyone was like a big family at the end. I was sad to leave. It was an amazing and magical few days in the mountains. My only regret is that it didn't last longer!! I met so many cool people and its an experience I won't forget, and even better I've got sick volcom snow and lifestyle apparel for lifeeeee. ‘ THE WHOLE TRIP WAS JUST WOW. (Haha inside group joke) Big love to emilie, Lucie and the volcom gang.

The kit comes with a number of various colors of leather dye which you mix together.Leather Furniture

Decide on from two shades of grey 100% genuine leather correlated with a geometric pattern for toss pillows and an accent chair with an exposed wood frame. I suggest not sitting about on leather naked, or in brief pants or shirtless, as the skin can simply be irritated from heat radiation and human sweat leaching the finish into the body by way of open pores. An ex-demonstration combo of two and 3 seater leather sofas, bargain price, which happened to be manual recliners. Besides good quality, all these diverse kinds of leather have a various outlook and feel. Value City Furniture respects your privacy and will not share this info with anybody. Balance: The connection of pieces of furnishings in relation to one yet another to type a pleasing whole is balance. Constantly use higher top quality cleaners and conditioners specially made for auto seat leather.

The most discouraging thing ever was plugging the Altec 511 horns in for the first time (they were scavenged from the Astrodome, RIP). They sounded like a squawky nightmare. I ended up doing some unconventional crossover settings and that helped -- but the main thing was to only power them with about 18 tube watts each. They really sorted themselves out then.

To me the big difference between vintage analog gear and modern stuff is that modern stuff usually sounds "good" right out of the box. But if you take the time to dial the old hi-quality stuff in, you end up with something really special.

Drinking champagne may boost memory, prevent dementia, study says

By Cox Media Group National Content Desk

Trending on Facebook

More popular and trending stories

Raise a glass of bubbly this holiday season; it may be good for your health.

According to a 2013 University of Reading study, drinking up to three glasses of champagne weekly may "help delay the onset of degenerative brain disorders, such as dementia."

The 2 1/2-year-old report resurfaced on social media this weekend, cracking Facebook's list of trending topics late Sunday.

In a news release, researchers said the compounds found in two red grapes used to make champagne – pinot noir and pinot meunier – can have a positive effect on spatial memory and learning. As a result, bubbly "may help prevent the cognitive losses that occur during typical and atypical brain aging."

But that doesn't mean you should tip back an entire bottle of booze.

"We encourage a responsible approach to alcohol consumption, and our results suggest that a very low intake of one to two glasses a week can be effective," professor Jeremy Spencer said.

GOP raps Markey on role in "rubber check" episode

GOP raps Markey on role in "rubber check" episode

Republicans are faulting Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful Edward Markey for his involvement in a so-called "rubber check" episode from the early 1990s, during which he and other members of Congress wrote checks with insufficient funds from a members-only bank.

The General Accounting Office issued a report in 1991 that found 134 House members had bounced 8,331 checks at the U.S. House of Representatives bank. There were no penalties for bouncing the checks, in effect granting the politicians interest-free loans from the money their colleagues deposited.

Markey was among those found to have written checks with insufficient funds.

Massachusetts GOP Chairman Kirsten Hughes said Monday that Markey "got a sweetheart deal from an exclusive bank to avoid the fees that working families have to pay when they overdraw their accounts."

An aide to Markey quickly fired back, saying Republicans are trying to distract attention away from a spate of stories detailing how Markey's Republican challenger Gabriel Gomez took a $281,000 tax deduction for promising not to alter his historic Cohasset home.

"Leave it to the national Republicans to dig up a 20-year old news story about unintentional overdrafts from members of Congress that Ed Markey apologized for, and voted to prevent from ever happening again," said Markey spokesman Andrew Zucker in a statement.

Markey supporters noted that he was cleared of wrongdoing by the Justice Department and that no taxpayer dollars were involved. Markey ultimately voted along with other members of the House to close the bank.

Earlier Monday, the National Republican Senatorial Committee released an Internet video faulting Markey for writing "bad checks from an exclusive Congressional Bank that was eventually shut down during the surrounding scandal."

"Perhaps bouncing a check or two could be explained as an honest mistake, but writing 92 bad checks suggests something far worse," the group's communications director Brad Dayspring said in a press release.

Zucker, meanwhile, said Gomez has yet to answer critical questions about the tax break he took on his Cohasset home, and still won't say how much he benefited from it.

Gomez said he's done nothing wrong and has criticized Markey for suggesting he'd done anything to break the rules.

Under the deal, Gomez and his wife entered into an agreement with the nonprofit National Architectural Trust in late 2005 which allowed them to take the tax deduction on the home they bought for $2.1 million in 2004.

As part of the agreement, the couple gave the trust control of the facade of the home, which was counted as a monetary donation to the group. Local bylaws had already prevented changes to the facade of the home raising questions about whether the easement awarded to the trust had monetary value.

Gomez, who has already released six years of his tax returns, has also continued to press Markey to release his returns.

Markey campaign officials have said they plan to release some of his tax returns.

Markey and Gomez are vying for the seat left vacant by the resignation of John Kerry when he became secretary of state. The June 25 special election is the third Senate election in Massachusetts in the past four years.

Powerstore as digital goods

Yes... it should just be a matter of adding a field to store the digital goods location to the products database, then adding an upload field to the products insert/update page in the admin so that you can upload the digital good associated with the product being purchased.

You would probably have to get into the code if you wanted digital goods to work with options, since a lot of the options handling is hand-coded, but if you don't need options for digital goods you can probably do it all from the insert/update server behaviors.

You would want to make sure to upload the digital goods to a folder above the site root so that people couldn't download the images without a purchase.

Then you would be able to add download links based on the digital good purchased on the receipt and/or order history pages when that product is purchased.

What if we want to create multiple admin users for there own products?

Hi There,

Here is what I would like to do. I would like to be able to create multiple admin users.. but they are only able to edit products etc that are associated to there login... so bascially when they login on the things they have uploaded to sell etc are available for them to change and update.

Is this possbile?

Not with out a lot a of custom coding added to PowerStore. This is not a supported feature, and would not be a simple task to add.

Automatic Gain Controll

In an SSB receiver the AGC circuit is extremly important,
Because the signal level is converted into audio level, via the BFO mixer.
The AGC circuit sense the Audio level and control the IF gain so that the audio level is constant, no matter if the station is local or DX.
The RF input signal level can change from -120 to +20dBm in a matter of milliseconds, that is many million times,
This kind of AGC is called Audio AGC and is easy cheap and simple to construct, the trade off is the attack times will vary depending of Audio frequency
After constructing this AGC I have tested it both on SSB and CW signals, on different signal levels, and found it satisfying.

R7 is the ATTACK time, R8 is the RELEASE time also called HANG time, C2 can be changed to your need of regulation speed, I have 1uF and 2u2 in parallel.
For SSB only C2 can be 1uF, for CW only C2 can be 10uF, or you can add a switch to change the attack and release times.
R11 is the RF GAIN or better called IF MAX GAIN, Here the MAXIMUM possible IF gain can be set like eny other HF Transceiver.

The two op-amps is FET input, Rail to Rail on both input and output, I think TL072 or even LM358 could be used.
The 470 Ohm resistor in series with the output is to avoid self-oscillation in the Rail to rail output, This problem apply not to all op-amp types.

The breadboard setup of the AGC before the PCB is made.

The output voltage goes to the two IF amps and the PIC controller pin 2, The PIC has 10 bits resolution on the ADC, (Analog to Digital Converter)
This is used for the S-Meter, The S-Meter readout is calibrated using a signal generator, to show the real S number that represent the signal level
This is the table used to calibrate the read out:
(S9=100 uV, R=50 Ohm)
- 7 dBm
- 17 dBm
- 27 dBm
- 37 dBm
- 47 dBm
- 57 dBm
-67 dBm
-73 dBm
- 79 dBm
- 85 dBm
- 91 dBm
- 97 dBm
- 103 dBm
- 109 dBm
- 115 dBm
- 121 dBm

Try to measure your own HF rig with a signal generator, then you will see that the S-Meter is unuseable for eny report at all.
Here is a few YAESU rigs that I have tested and measured their S-Meter read out..
FT-817 Measured
FT-757 Measured S-units (dBm) Correct value
-41 dBm
-23 dBm S9+60 (-7 dBm)
-47 dBm
-39 dBm S9+40 (-27 dBm)
-77 dBm
-57 dBm S9+20 (-47 dBm)
-80 dBm
-73 dBm S9 (-67 dBm 100uV)
-95 dBm
-79 dBm S8 (-73 dBm)
-98 dBm
-83 dBm S7 (-79 dBm)
-99 dBm
-87 dBm S6 (-85 dBm)
-100 dBm
-89 dBm S5 (-91 dBm)
-101 dBm
-95 dBm S4 (-97 dBm)
-101 dBm
-97 dBm S3 (-103 dBm)
-102 dBm
-100 dBm S2 (-109 dBm)
-103 dBm
-102 dBm S1 (-115 dBm)
-104 dBm
-104 dBm S0 (-121 dBm)

Here is the AGC voltage seen from the PIC ADC,
The ADC is 10 bits, so 0V is 0000 and 5V is 1023
When measuring the generator was set to 14.20000 and RX set to 14.197662 where most signal was detected

The table can also be viewed as a curve,
If I just had mounted a normal meter, the S meter readout would be verry un-linear.
That is why I use the PIC and the LCD display to show the signal strength.
I will also make a BAR-Graph in the LCD to fast show the signal level,
The same BAR-Graph can also be used to display TX power under transmit, or mic level..

The Student Council at City Centre Campus

The election process and mission

The Student Council provides students with opportunities to develop leadership skills and a sense of responsibility and awareness of how the school is run, as well as to become involved in the schools overall development. The elected members meet every week and share ideas, interests and concerns with teachers, the administration and the school leadership team.

The Council comprises of Class Reps, President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer and Communications Officer. The process begins at the start of the school year with each class electing two representatives from their peers. Candidates have the opportunity to give speeches laying out their suitability for the role. These elections are followed by a campus-wide election for the President and Vice President from grades 10 and 11.

In addition, the Student Council contributes to school activities including sporting, cultural and extra-curricular. It also liaises with Student Councils from other schools and fundraises for service as action and social events for the benefit and support of the students, school, local community and the environment.

The President is a leading officer, and sets an example for students regarding courtesy, fairness, and the application of rules.  The main function of the President is to run the Council meeting efficiently and fairly by supporting her arguments with the school policies and procedures. The Vice President works closely with the President and must be familiar with all the President’s responsibilities, deputising for her and following up with the sub-committees and events. Together, the President and Vice President strive to be role models for responsible leadership in every aspect of community lifejavascript:void(0);.

So far behind

I was away for work all week, and I come back with just a mess of gaming related things to do.  I have really been slacking on that front it seems.  By the way, the new computer is awesome!  I got it all setup with a few games, and it is everything I hoped for.  Now I just need a game to really push it.  Ashes of Singularity might be the only one out there.

SWTOR.  I need to play the latest chapter, and the Eternal Championship.  That may happen this weekend.

Quantum Break.  It arrived while I was away, so I want to start playing that.

Forge.  Forge now allows you to stream to Twitch and Youtube.  Have to play around with that.

The Division.  Need to keep on making progress there.  I'd like to actually finish that gabe before a DLC comes out.

Fallout 4.  I downloaded their first DLC before I left, now I find out the 2nd DLC is due out in 4 days.  I really want to finish that game too!

Black Desert Online.  They just released one of the expansions, but I am still stuck in Veila!  I need to progress there too.

Star Wars.  The new Star Wars movie is out on DVD, I still have not seen it.  I probably should.

So much to do.

Kuhn CCX 9000-21

Double tap to zoom

Quantron S-2 Control System

With its 5.5” color screen and ergonomic button layout, the Quantron S-2 terminal provides the operator with complete control of the CCX 9000-21. Application rate can be adjusted up or down “on the fly” and the operator will be alerted if the hopper level is low, if the fan speed is incorrect or if there is a problem with metering unit rotation. The calibration sequence is also simplified with only a few minutes needed to prepare the CCX 9000-21 for work and calibration settings may be saved for future use. A work switch is fitted to the Excelerator to start and stop the metering unit automatically when lifting the machine in and out of work.

Electric Drive Seed Meter

The CCX 9000-21 uses a splined volumetric metering unit for exceptionally precise rate control and ease of calibration. Small seed splines are integrated within the metering unit and can be engaged or disengaged without tools allowing application rates from 1 – 385 lbs / acre without changing metering rollers. Once the seed type, desired application rate and target forward speed has been entered into the Quantron S-2, the operator is guided through a quick calibration test. In work, the system maintains seed rate in relation to forward speed by varying the rotational speed of the electric drive metering unit. The forward speed signal is taken from the tractor radar or using an optional tractor wheel speed sensor kit.

Hydraulically Driven Fan

Air flow is supplied using a hydraulic drive fan driven from a tractor SCV. Fan speed can be adjusted using the tractor SCV flow control and then fine-tuned using the valve on the CCX 9000-21. In order to run the fan successfully, the tractor must be capable of supplying minimum 10.5 gallons per minute. Oil return from the pump must be made through a free flow return with maximum 145 psi back pressure.

Seed Distribution System

The seed distribution system itself is as accurate as on many high-end air seeders. From the metering unit, seed is blown up the tower and into the divider head. The ringed tower ensures a homogenous mix of seed in the air flow so that on arrival to the distribution head, it is split evenly across all outlets.

Seed Placement

The seed distributor plates are located at the rear of the Excelerator® between the Star Wheels™ and reel. Seed depth can be adjusted by simply angling the plates toward the Star Wheels (deep) or toward the 24/7® Conditioning Reel (shallow). The adjustment is made easily and without wrenches.

Last Call for Goodfriends

Last Call for Goodfriends

When Goodfriends closes at the end of service on Saturday, May 17 (or, more likely, early on the morning of May 18), it will close for good.

With it will go a lot of memories -- since the restaurant/watering hole at 3100 East Colfax Avenue has been open almost thirty years, and is the last survivor of Denver's once-thriving fern bar scene. So stop in -- soon -- and raise a glass (I recommend one of the margaritas) to Goodfriends. And while you're there, you can also toast the restaurant that will be moving into the space: the equally venerable Annie's Café, which will leave its longtime home on East Eighth Avenue next month, getting more space, the contents and a full liquor license in the bargain.

And Goodfriends's menu and margaritas will live on, too, since siblings Racines and Dixons offer much the same lineup. (Owners Lee Goodfriend and David Racine will be on hand for last call at Goodfriends, their first venture.)

As for the ferns, they went with the furniture. -- -- Patricia Calhoun
