InterTech Development Company Component Tracker System Announced

April 19, 2010
Chemical manufacturers seeking cost-effective ways to collect and archive test data for product lifecycle management systems and quality assurance, can now use the InterTech Development Component Tracker System, which integrates bar coding, scan and software tracking of each part and batch, including all leak test, functional test, and lifecycle test data related to each component.

The InterTech Development Component System not only provides full traceability in the event of product recalls, but also provides data for process optimization to streamline production, and storage of all test data at each productions stage for SPC (Statistical Process Control) data that underlies most quality assurance systems and full ISO 9001 compliance.

For added traceability, a laser marking system can be integrated with the bar code label system.

Jacques Hoffmann, president of InterTech Development Co., said, “InterTech’s turnkey test solutions have always emphasized software integration to monitor all stages of testing and archive all test data. A growing number of InterTech customers in the medical device industry have been seeking ways to comply with a Unique Device Identifier (UDI) system being called for by FDA regulators to facilitate product recalls. The InterTech Component Tracking System makes this same functionality to manufacturers of all types, such that the data archives for product lifecycle management systems and quality assurance are readily available.”

Come to “Streets as Places”, PPS’s new training seminar, and learn how Placemaking can build great streets and great communities.

The course will introduce participants to new ways of thinking about streets as public spaces. It is intended for anyone who is interested in creating a great street, including transportation professionals who want to learn more about how streets can help to build communities, civic and elected officials who realize that greater economic impact can result from changing the way that roads are designed, and citizen activists who understand that the time to change is now.

Presentations and discussion will center on how streets, roads, and transit facilities can be designed and managed to benefit communities, in addition to serving mobility needs. Practical tools for assessing a variety of street typologies and case studies of cities which have moved beyond solving mobility problems to community building will be presented, and participants will be encouraged to discuss their own projects as well as share experiences and ideas with each other.

The training session will include a walking tour and discussion of some of the recent street improvement projects in New York City, an on-site Placemaking street audit, seminar-style lectures, and open discussions about current transportation issues and challenges facing cities today.

For more information and to register, visit the event homepage.

Have them in a conference call? [:D]

Honestly, I think the lowest numbers that you mentioned 150/105 are high enough to be dangerous and anyone would treat you at those numbers.

The ob's number seem outrageously high, but the other 2 specialists have almost the same numbers, I'm sure they'll come to an agreement.

Good luck and keep those BPs down!

I don't have all the answers. I'm sure you will get help from many women here. I can tell you that from my personal experience my OB didn't want my blood pressure to go too low because my blood pressure runs high anyways. The baby was "used" to my bps being at a certain place. This was my baseline. My bp was somewhat controlled with meds after 31 weeks when I was getting really high readings. I have been diagnosed with chronic hypertension. I suffer from it now - while not pregnant. I did not have problems till my third trimester so I can't help you with the issues you are having so early. It sounds like you have some underlying issues with your cardiac system. Maybe that is the culprit?! I am sure you will get the care you need. You are VERY proactive about your care!
Continue to keep us posted.

What to do when docs disagree???

Postby jjbeck » Wed Nov 12, 2003 04:28 pm

I feel very fortunate to have great docs. My OB recently switched me over to my peri for full care because of problems with severe hyperemesis ( which is now under control) and high bp. SHe also asked me to follow up with my cardiologist as the last pg I dev some heart problems.
I really like my new peri and feel he is very competant and knows what he is doing.
I have known my cardiologist for a few years and know she is very competent as well.
I had an appt on Mon and the cardio strongly felt my rise in bp was pg related, as she knows I run a low bp or 100/60 pre pg. Now it is ave a high of 150/111 ( still not too bad...but as you can see, high for me). I also get out of breath very easy and have a very rapid pulse, up to 120 at rest. SHe is doing and echo to rule out pg induced cardiomyopathy.
SHe went on to say, she sees many preg woman and knows that some woman just get PIH earlier than others. Makes sense to me...especially where my heart reacted so early the last time with arrythmias.
She also said she did not want to treat the hypertension just yet, as she feels where I have a normal low bp, meds can cause it to drop too low which is not good for the baby.

Well, today I went to my peri and he says, " I know that your cardiologist said you have PIH, but there is no way you do...it does not occur until after 24 weeks".
He does feel that the "CHRONIC" hypertension should probably be treated....we will see next week.

This is all so confusing. My last pg, I was having bps as low as 75/45.
I worry meds will cause this to happen. I worry about making the right desisions.
I have heard three different things from three different docs...
OB says dont treat bp until it reaches 200/115
peris says 150/110
cardio says not until 160 to 180/105.

I just dont know. They all have there own opinions. I trust all of them.
I just dont know what to do.
I have read taking meds early can mask pre e . Is this true?

How important is it to KNOW what type of hypertension I truely have? How do I find out?
Pre pg and upto 7 weeks, my bp was fine. It started creeping up at 8 weeks.

UGH! ANy advise?

What stands out most about the story of a Sonoma State University student who was forced by a supervisor to remove her cross for a campus event is not the principle involved or the publicity it has received. It's the ignorance.

There is no question that the supervisor was out of bounds in asking Audrey Jarvis, 19, to remove her cross necklace. There is no defense for such an action.

As a writer posits in today's letters to the editor, "If the student in question was Jewish, and he or she was wearing a Star of David necklace, would he or she have been asked to remove it by this supervisor?"

The same question could be asked concerning a star and crescent — a symbol of Islam — or some other symbol of Buddhism, Hinduism or any other religion. In any of these cases, would the supervisor have taken such an approach? It's unlikely. But in any of these cases, the freedom of a student to wear such jewelry — without need of a religious accommodation — should be widely understood. The fact that it's not is troubling.

Is it evidence, as some contend, that political correctness is eclipsing our nation's historic commitment to religious freedoms? Perhaps. But more likely it's just evidence of poor judgment by one individual.

To the university's credit, it did not equivocate. It came down quickly in defense of the student's rights, issuing an apology, and the supervisor has done the same. Sonoma State also is treating this as a case of religious discrimination under Title IX in federal law and is conducting an investigation.

That's all well and good. But the university would also be wise to use this as a teachable moment and educate students, faculty and staff about how individual religious rights apply not only to one's wardrobe but to one's work space, living areas, areas of study, etc.

According to Jarvis, the supervisor for Associated Students asked her to remove the cross during an orientation event out of concern that it could be offensive to students looking to attend SSU. But in the process of putting their best foot forward, they stomped on an important individual liberty. And now Jarvis herself says she may not be back. It's too bad.

For a university that prides itself on its reputation for diversity and tolerance, it has some repair work to do.

Tufts (0-2) responded with 16 straight points, taking the lead 3:12 into the fourth quarter on Jackson Brockhorst’s 27-yard field goal, his third of the game.

Malaysia Airlines: No need for extra funding

> National carrier is meeting all the targets set by Khazanah Nasional, says CEO

The Sun (Malaysia) - - SPEAK UP - BY EVA YEONG

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airlines Bhd (MAB) does not need extra funding from its sole shareholder, Khazanah Nasional Bhd, said its CEO Peter Bellew.

“We’re not looking for anymore funding. We have an agreed programme with Khazanah. We’re meeting all the targets Khazanah set. If we can, I’m going to try to get the plan executed a little bit earlier than we had planned,” he told reporters at the announcement of a partnership with Liverpool Football Club (FC) yesterday.

Under the 12-point MAS Recovery Plan (MRP), Khazanah is to inject up to RM6 billion into MAB on a staggered basis subject to the fulfilment of restructuring conditions.

Recall that the delisting of MAS OldCo was done at a cost of RM1.4 billion and the restructuring and retrenchment costs amounted up to RM1.6 billion while the remaining RM3 billion capital is to be injected progressively from 2014 till 2016.

Bellew said the turnaround plan is going well and it is aiming to increase its load factor to 80% in the next 18 months. The airline’s load factor was 71-73% in the last few months.

MAB, which aims to increase flight frequencies to Beijing and Shanghai as part of its expansion plans in China, expects to double its average seat kilometres (ASKs) to China in the next 18 months.

“We’re in the process of applying for more slots (to those airports). We will be announcing significant expansion to China in the next month or so,” Bellew said, adding that China contributes 5-6% to its overall ASK.

Commenting on oil prices, Bellew said they are expected to go well over US$60 per barrel in the next 12 months and move towards US$70. He said MAB is currently hedging at about US$65. “We hedge 12 months in advance and we try to hedge at least for a quarter to 12 months in advance, about 60% (is hedged). That’s the target, 60-70%.”

As outlined under the MRP, MAB aims to return to profitability by the end of 2017 and to relist within three to five years, that is, between end-2017 and end-2019. It has been reported that Bellew is looking to relist sometime in March 2019.

MAB’s deal with Liverpool FC sees the carrier becoming the UK football club’s official global airline partner. The deal, for three years, initially, provides various benefits, including brand exposure, for MAB.

Bellew said the investment size for the deal is less than 10% of MAB’s annual advertising and promotion budget.

Bellew says Malaysia Airlines aims to increase its load factor to 80% in the next 18 months.

S Korea prosecutors quiz former vice sports minister

The Myanmar Times - - World -

SOUTH Korean prosecutors questioned a former vice sports minister as their probe into the corruption scandal engulfing President Park Geun-hye spreads to preparations for the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Ms Park is under pressure over her shadowy confidant Choi Soonsil, who is accused of using her ties with the president to coerce local firms to donate millions of dollars to non-profit foundations Ms Choi then used for personal gain.

Kim Chong, who served as vice sports minister for three years until last month, is accused of helping Ms Choi’s foundations win lucrative state contracts.

He is also accused of pressuring a former head of the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Games organising committee to resign after he refused to award a contract to a firm linked with Ms Choi.

Cho Yang-ho, the chair of Korean Air, took the helm at the committee in 2014 when it was struggling with construction delays and funding problems.

He is widely credited with turning the situation around but abruptly resigned in May.

He said reports he was forced out by Mr Kim for refusing to help Ms Choi are “90 percent correct”.

Prosecutors are also seeking to quiz Ms Park over her role in the scandal – which could make her the first South Korean president to be questioned while in office. –

What you need to know about John Kerry's 7-country tour

Secretary of State John Kerry began a two-week trip through seven countries on Friday.

At the top of the agenda are two intractable foreign policy challenges: the war in Syria and NATO's withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Here, we survey Kerry's stops, and the challenges he faces at each.

Kerry arrives Saturday in Doha, Qatar for a meeting with the so-called 'Friends of Syria' to discuss the fate of the embattled nation. The group consists of 11 other foreign ministers that oppose the rule of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

They will discuss the United States' recent decision to arm the Syrian rebels – some members believe that the move may be too little, too late to stop the Assad government's forces.

Kerry will also try to build momentum for the so-called Geneva 2 peace talks between the Syrian government and opposition. With recent rebel defeats and with the Syrian opposition still on the fence, the talks may not happen as planned.

He is arriving ahead of negotiations between the US and the Taliban over the future of Afghanistan. Kerry will not personally meet with Taliban officials, but other US representatives will.

It will be the first meeting between American officials and the militant group in 18 months, and comes on the heels of diplomatic spat over the Taliban's instating of political offices in Doha, which spurred Afghanistan to cancel their scheduled talks with the US.

The Secretary of State will visit New Delhi on June 23, where he will chair the fourth annual US-India Strategic Dialogue, as well as meet with the country's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. In a video message before the visit, Kerry said “The United States not only welcomes India as a rising power; we fervently support it."

“That’s why President Obama and I support India’s inclusion as a member, a permanent member, of a reformed and expanded United Nations Security Council," he added.

The world's largest democracy, India is often seen as a counterweight to a rising China, and the US has worked hard in recent years to strengthen ties with the South Asian nation.

Kerry will also address Indian-Pakistani relations, particularly in light of the recent election of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who has signaled he wants more bilateral ties with India.

Saudi Arabia/Kuwait

In Jeddah on June 25, Kerry will meet with with senior Saudi officials to discuss "a range of bilateral and regional issues." Saudi Arabia has been a key supporter of the largely Sunni Syrian rebels and, along with Qatar, has sent aid and weapons to help topple Assad.

The State Department has said that Kerry will also discuss the worry that extremists, such as Al Qaeda affiliates, are using this time to enter Syria.

Kerry will be in Kuwait on June 26 to meet with senior Kuwaiti officials. Kuwait has also been a staunch enemy of Assad since the uprising over two years ago, but — unlike other Gulf states — has refused to send military aid to rebels. It is believed that young Kuwaitis have been joining the rebel ranks to fight the Syrian government.

This will be Kerry's fifth visit to the region in the last several months, in an effort to help restart Israel-Palestinian peace talks, which have been on hold for more than three years.

Earlier in the month, Kerry told the American Jewish Committee in Washington that time was running out for the peace process in the region.

"Let’s be clear: If we do not succeed now, and I know I’m raising the stakes, we may not get another chance," he said.

Skeptical Israelis and Palestinians are likely to raise eyebrows at the US overtures for Middle East peace: the latter still trying to bridge the gaps between its divided leadership, and the former possessing a hardline, right-wing government.

“The real problem here is the absence of ownership,” Aaron David Miller, a former adviser to several secretaries of state and now a vice president at the Woodrow Wilson Center for Scholars in Washington, told the Jerusalem Post.

“I don’t understand how Kerry can get around that. Rarely have I seen a secretary of state who seems so sure of himself," he added.

Kerry will also likely discuss the recent election of Hassan Rouhani as the president of Iran. Rouhani, who is seen as a moderate cleric, has divided Israelis, with some seeing his election as a sign of hope, and others skeptical that Iran's quest for nuclear weapons will change.

The Secretary of State's final stop in the Kingdom of Brunei will include a meeting with the Sultan and several regional conferences relating to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), including the 20th ASEAN Regional Forum and the Third East Asia Summit Foreign Ministers' Meeting.

The Baseball Card Hall of Infamy

Before professional collectors turned them into investment strategies, baseball cards were meant to be carried in back pockets—not plastic protectors. Cards from this vintage era—from the 1950s to the late ’70s—have an aesthetic language all their own, and the variations among them make for an amusing stroll through this backwoods of design history.

For instance, back in the day, cards were typically produced using pictures taken during the previous season, so when a player changed teams during the winter, the card companies had a limited number of options for the new season’s card, none of them good. They could knowingly print a card of the player with his former team’s uniform, but this was an unpopular choice. In some cases, the publishers chose to use the outdated picture but indicate on the front that the player had switched teams, which sometimes resulted in a playful adaptation of the basic card design. For instance, I love the imposing “TRADED” stamp that Topps put on some of its 1972 cards. Poor Jim Fregosi (above, right) looks like he’s been sent to the dockworkers’ union.
The real awkwardness, though, was when the card companies hired artists to paint new uniforms on the players who had switched teams. Nothing against the artists—I’m sure they had to contend with a frantic deadline—but the renderings were often less than convincing. The “traded” conundrum did yield one truly awesome card, though: This 1976 Oscar Gamble (above, left, obviously), complete with the cheesy headline pun, brushed-in pinstripes, and negative space-swallowing afro.
What happened when a whole team was traded? In 1974, the San Diego Padres hinted about moving the franchise to Washington, D.C. Although they never pulled the trigger on the deal, Topps had already put that year’s series into production, indicating that Padre players were now on the yet-to-be-named “Washington, National League” team. Even more anachronistic was how common the color pink (above) was in sports card design. Hold on a second…pink? Are you kidding me? Were these baseball cards or take-home pregnancy tests? The color’s disappearance coincides roughly with the time that those ten-gallon drums of bodybuilding supplement powder first hit the market. I never had a problem with this shade; after all, the archenemy of taste and good hygiene was the petrified stick of bubble gum included in every baseball-card pack. But these days, when cards come with Lexus vouchers and Brooks Brothers cuff links, green and silver are more often identified with the sport.
Then there was the photography. Mug shots were nice, but the real thrill was seeing an action photo that perfectly captured a player’s home-run swing or pitching form. I always loved this 1977 Carlton Fisk (above, right), with the Red Sox catcher vaulting over home plate like an arch, the moment before a home-plate collision. Perhaps the worst action photo I can remember is this 1973 Reggie Jackson (center) before Reggie became, you know, Reggie. But I don’t even know if it’s Reggie Jackson or a photo of an A’s fan fleeing an East Bay tattoo parlor. Whoever it is, it looks like he’s in a fair amount of pain. A player today wouldn’t let a card like this see the light of day. It’s not what they call a “brand enhancer.”
Lou Piniella’s photo (left), on the other hand, is epic. Piniella looks like he is mouthing his own nickname: “Sweet Louuuuu.” You should logically see the catcher somewhere in the picture, but where is he? He is brilliantly absent. Lou is alone in the center of the Roman Coliseum, twisting triumphantly after felling the minotaur with his golden Louisville Slugger. This is better classified as a 1672 Bernini, not a 1974 Topps.
Action photos should (naturally) capture action scenes, not staged portraits. Back in the ’80s, when cards were becoming increasingly popular, Fleer and Donruss attempted to compete with longtime market leader Topps by creating full collections of their own. Unfortunately, the cards were marred by substandard, out-of-focus photography. Perhaps in the rush to get these cards to print, the photographers forgot to remove the diffusion filters from their lenses. Then again, with certain players, the “fade-to-obscurity” lens may have been intentional.
It’s not his photograph that’s making Hoyt Wilhelm look melancholy. It’s his typeface. The mixed-case serif font on this 1958 Topps card (above, right) screams “textbook,” not “SportsCenter.” One company, however, did learn a valuable lesson about featuring too much innovation in its card designs. Bowman was the industry leader in the early 1950s until Topps emerged as an enormously popular competitor. It’s fun to imagine the “Embrace the future!” memos from Bowman executives that resulted in this wood-grain “TV set” design of the company’s 1955 cards (left). This was truly forward-thinking, since color television sets were hardly a household item. Another piece of innovation? Bowman also issued 31 individual umpire cards, the first mainstream company to do so. It was bought out by Topps the following year.

Source: Government Trying to Make Boston ‘Lone Wolf Terror’ To Spare Saudis

Jason Howerton
The Blaze [1]
April 18, 2013

RELATED: Obama Covering Up Saudi Link to Boston Bombing? [2]

TheBlaze Chief Content Officer Joel Cheatwood reported on “The Glenn Beck Program” Thursday morning that TheBlaze has been informed that the government is now considering not deporting Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi.

The blog Shoebat.com, run by anti-Islamist Walid Shoebat, has posted two pictures allegedly of Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi [3] smiling in the hospital:

Report: Saudi National Ruled Out as Suspect in Boston Marathon Bombings to Be Deported [4]
A photo allegedly of Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi in the hospital.

Report: Saudi National Ruled Out as Suspect in Boston Marathon Bombings to Be Deported [5]
Another alleged photo of Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi. It’s unclear who the man on the right is.

At least one of the photos appears to either have originated from, or is at least included in, an Arabic language report here [6].

Sources tell TheBlaze that the Saudi national is set to be deported on “security and related grounds.” His visa also has been revoked. Below is some of the information that has been communicated to us:
1. One source at the FBI and another at the Saudi Embassy referred to the student as connected to an important Saudi family.
2. An “event” was created on this guy three days ago. An event is a file. The file contains his deportation record and the reason he is being deported. According to ICE the reason is under section 212 3B — “Security and related grounds” — “Terrorist activities”
3. His visa has been revoked.
4. The FBI said a file was started “just in case he was found to be connected to the crime,” however, the file shows he was scheduled to be deported. This was not a precaution, it was in “orders.”
5. One source said they believe a “voluntary” departure has been signed — that means the Saudi Student could be out of the country as early as today.
6. The file was immediately classified. We believe the deportation order will be classified as well — requiring a FOIA to get it.
7. The story was going to be “he wanted to go home,” however he was actually being deported.
8. Our source said the FBI believes the Saudi student is tied to 2 to 3 more people.
9. Our source said this “looks like they were trying to make this a ‘lone wolf’ crime so, the Saudi government would be spared embarrassment and the U.S. would avoid explaining how a terror cell was active when we had AQ on the run.”

My Testimony

by Heshimu Colar

"For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ and him crucified.

When I first began to preach or do what people call preaching, I did not know ALL of God's messengers are sent to constantly without wavering set forth the Lord Jesus Christ, that glorious Person who finished the Work of redemption. Foolishly, rather than turning all eye's on Him I pointed sinners to the filth of their nature, religious duties, and dead doctrines that can never save. Like the rest of this lost religious world I grabbed John 14:15 "If you love me, keep my commandments", and tried to teach people how to obey Jesus the example without setting forth Jesus the Mediator, Giver of life, and Righteousness for sinners. Rather than "He that believeth on the Son hath life", it was believe AND do certain things or die. Exhortations to purify the heart by not getting angry, lying, or lusting would come with the disclaimer of "No, we can't keep the law perfectly, but we've got to keep the law". Really, do you believe that nonsense? Since when did God start accepting anything short of perfect holiness by those joined to His law? Yet, It wasn't until I heard the Gospel preached in power and the Scriptures opened that I saw the righteousness of God and Him just and the justifier of filthy sinners, which believeth on Jesus! The more the Gospel came exalting Christ, the more faith and love, His new commandments (I John 3:23), were obeyed from my soul (I Pet 1:22). Christ Is All!

These new covenant commandments which by the Spirit free us from the law of sin and death CANNOT be obeyed apart from the preaching of the cross (not a block of wood, but blood redemption for God's elect by God Himself manifested in the flesh). If I preach "Don't be proud in the name of Jesus", that doesn't cause you to love Christ. You'll love your fair show of meekness and despise others who lack your religious exterior. Yet, the preaching of the cross is the Wisdom and Power of God whereby we LOVE His Son NOT by what we do, but by the Spirit making known what Christ has done for us. "We love him, because he first loved us." This love is the gift of God springing out of a new heart and is NOT produced or increased in any way by our keeping the law of the old covenant. "For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love." It doesn't matter how religious or rebellious you appear. God is ONLY accepting faith in His Son for it is by faith alone that we love God, "and the law is not of faith" (Gal 3:12). What is of faith? The Gospel! Yes, believing God executed holy vengeance upon His only Beloved for my sake is what the Gospel demands of every sinner and gives all God's elect. It is by this faith that I serve God acceptably, rejoice in Christ Jesus, and endeavor to put on love which is the bond of maturity. This is the new covenant.

Don't let my glorying in the liberty wherewith Christ has made me free ignite false accusations of lawlessness; for though He has freed believers from the law that condemns He has bound our hearts unto Himself by chords of love. He is our Master, our All, our Life. Yet, He constrains me not by works, but by love; not by the law where I have knowledge of my sins, but by grace where I have the knowledge of His love for me which redeemed and liberated me from bondage to sin. I have a new man with a new law whereby I "serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter (Rom 7:6)." God promises in the new covenant that the power of His Grace and our knowledge of Grace shine "Teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lust, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world (Titus 2:11-12)."

Reader, you too must be dead to the old covenant by the body of Christ lest God smite you with the eternal curse. You must be dead to all thoughts of seeking justification, sanctification, or glorification by your good works. If you do ANYTHING to get right with God or stay right with God, Christ shall profit you nothing (Gal 2:21/Gal 5:3-4). You have made God a liar because you believe not "that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life: and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life (I John 5:10-11)." It doesn't matter what name you call it (Calvinistic, Baptist, Sovereign Grace, or Reformed) or how many times your preacher says "Christ" in a sermon. If the message is not Christ and Him crucified it is not Gospel, and you are being led to look away from the Lamb of God unto your own misery.

We at The Only Gospel are determined to know nothing among you save Jesus Christ and Him crucified. We believe the Gospel is the Power of God unto salvation from start to finish. The Gospel sanctifies babes in Christ as well as fathers in the faith. The Gospel convicts of sin as we see Christ the Blessed giver of life is crucified at the hands of sinners; He is crucified according to the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God because there is no other way for Him to be holy and forgive such enemies. The Gospel conforms us into the image of Christ as "we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord (II Cor 3:17-18.)" The Gospel is enough; The Gospel is Christ; The Gospel, by the grace of God, will ALWAYS be our message to you. The Only Gospel.

What is a Gear Ratio?

Gear Ratio defined

In theory, the gearbox or transmission is a simple enough mechanism; however, the building up of such a device needs to be precise and strong, and therefore can become quite complex. Getting the gear ratio right is crucial for good engine performance. Inside a gearbox are cogs/gears of different circumferences that have teeth on the outside running edge. These teeth are for meshing a driving gear into a driven gear so that the desired movement of a vehicle can be achieved. The gearbox takes the power developed from the engine and uses these series of teethed gears to give a car more power and less speed, or less power and greater speed. To achieve this, the gearbox, by use of the different gears inside the gearbox, will speed up or reduce the rotary motion of its input shaft compared with its output shaft. Using gears/cogs with differing circumferences and or a differing number of teeth allows different gear ratios to be created. A gear ratio is the number of revolutions made by a driving gear as compared to the number of revolutions made by a driven gear of a different size. So, if one gear makes three revolutions while the other gear makes one revolution the gear ratio is 3 to 1. These differing gear ratios are the essence of how a car can use its engine power as torque to accelerate, travel at speed, pass other cars and climb hills.

Without a gear box and gear ratios, driving would be exceedingly difficult and, in some situations, impossible.We hope that helps answer the question ‘What is What is a Gear Ratio?’!

Cannondale Pro Cycling

The first version of the Liquigas team, heir of Brescialat with, from 1999 to 2001, riders such as Serhiy Honchar and Davide Rebellin, is a far cry from the major Italian team of the last eight seasons, whose history dates back to 2005 and continues this year under the moniker of bicycle manufacturer Cannondale, which has now taken up the baton alone from the Italian energy provider.

For a long time, the team managed by Roberto Amadio proved to perform less well on the Tour de France than elsewhere: a two times winner of the Tour of Italy (with Danilo Di Luca in 2007 and Ivan Basso in 2010) and the Tour of Spain (with Vincenzo Nibali in 2010). It only boasted a single stage victory (Filippo Pozzato at Autun in 2007), upstaged by the crash on that day of favourite Alexandre Vinokourov and outsider Andreas Klöden. Indeed, Liquigas stood out mainly on the roads of Le Tour thanks to the fighting qualities of its young riders, Vincenzo Nibali and Roman Kreuziger, in 2008 and 2009, until the hat-trick of stage wins achieved by Peter Sagan in 2012.

The Slovak, the first rider born in the 1990's to win a stage, outshone all his rivals in the race for the green jersey and prepared the terrain for Vincenzo Nibali, the leading rider (3rd) behind Sky's one-two in Paris. Now that the 'Shark from Messina' has left for Astana, Sagan, who instantly became a star on Le Tour, now bears the responsibilities of team leader alone, which does not frighten him in the slightest. He's had a relatively quiet season but is still a media star.

- 2007: Filippo Pozzato in Autun
2012: Peter Sagan in Seraing, Boulogne-sur-Mer and Metz

Victories in secondary classifications: 1
2012: Peter Sagan, green jersey

Xbox One has digital feature to match PS4

By Alan Ng - Jul 16, 2013

A lot of PS4 fans are very happy about the ability to play digital titles as they are downloading, but we are here to remind you that the Xbox One is also going to have this ability as well. As perhaps another piece of evidence suggesting that Microsoft didn’t do a good enough job in getting the features of Xbox One across enough, we can confirm that the console will also allow you to play digital titles after only installing a portion of the game.

While some of you may be aware of this, we are guessing that the majority of you presumed that this was going to be a feature exclusive to the PS4. A Microsoft representative has confirmed this as a fact when speaking to Polygon and it is great news for prospective Xbox One owners who plan to spend the bulk of their gaming sessions playing digital titles.

Now, it means you will be able to download a title from Xbox Live install a portion of that game and then begin playing straight away. No more waiting for that massive 2GB game to finish before playing and it is going to make a lot of consumers happy. The same process will also apply to disc-based Xbox One games.

It’s true that you’ll need to install every Xbox One disc to the hard drive as a mandatory feature, but we now know that you’ll be able to play disc games almost straight away when only a portion of the game’s files have been transferred to the hard drive. It should make your next-gen sessions a lot more pleasurable than it is at the moment on Xbox 360 and PS3 – and it’s great that we now have this confirmation of this instant digital feature now working on Xbox One too, along with PS4.

Apologies if you already knew this, but just a friendly reminder for those that didn’t know it was on Xbox One also. What are your thoughts on this?

Follow us on Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus.

  • If it’s true, Microsoft’s current marketing team should be fired, period. Their presentation of the XBox One so far has been a burial.

Marsh Acquires Cosmos Services; Hub Acquires Signature Insurance

NU Online News Service, April 3, 11:27 a.m. EDT

Two major insurance brokers, Marsh and Hub, announced they have made acquisitions this week.

Marsh, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marsh & McLennan Companies, says it has acquired Cosmos Services (America) Inc., the U.S. insurance-brokerage subsidiary of global trading firm ITOCHU Corp.

With offices in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, Cosmos specializes in providing commercial property and casualty, personal lines, and employee-benefits-brokerage services to U.S. subsidiaries of Japanese companies. It has annual revenues of approximately $8 million.

Cosmos’ employees will become part of Marsh’s Asia Client Services team under the leadership of John McDonnell, president and chief executive officer of ACS in the United States. Marsh says the deal further strengthens its capabilities and resources in serving Japanese clients in the U.S. and also forges a strategic relationship between Marsh and ITOCHU.

Chicago-based Hub International Ltd. says it has acquired the assets of Signature Insurance Group, Inc., a Woodinville, Washington-based insurance-benefits-brokerage firm.

Signature is a longstanding brokerage serving the insurance and risk-management needs of businesses and individuals throughout Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska. Signature offers a range of personal- and commercial-lines products and services, with a specialty in serving condominium associations and apartment complexes.

Signature will become part of the Hub International Northwest (Hub Northwest) operation.

Dennis Boyd, vice president, real-estate sales, will join Hub Northwest in connection with this transaction, reporting to Erik Kuhn, vice president, commercial retail.

Boyd was a former member of the Seattle Seahawks pro football organization as a player during the late ‘70s and early ‘80s.

Terms of both transactions were not disclosed.

Rim Rocking Notes: Vegas Summer League Day 2

Posted By Warren Shaw On Jul 15 2012 @ 5:51 am In NBA | 2 Comments

Day 2 of the Vegas Summer League was much like Day 1…non-competitive games that still showed who is ready to contribute now to a NBA roster and those who may be bagging groceries soon.

No disrespect to those who bag groceries, its just not what these fine young gentleman of the Vegas summer league hope to be doing in their immediate future.

Here is what I saw while my backside became sore from watching hours and hours of basketball.

Game 1: Memphis Grizzlies at New York Knicks

Grizzlies: Memphis has a special one in Tony Wroten. The 25th overall pick made a splash in his debut with 19 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. He proved to be unselfish and adept at knowing when to attack vs passing. He was able to finish with contact and remained poised while pressured. Unfortunately although he remained poised when pressured, his average dribbling skills were displayed as a result. He can use some work on his ball handling but I loved his nose for the ball mentality when rebounding.

Josh Selby was also solid for the Grizzlies scoring 20 points with 5 made triples. Selby did little else but was disruptive on defense to the over-matched Knicks guards.

Matt Janning in his second summer league stint showed his ability to be a knock down shooter scoring 13 points on 4-6 from the floor.  He can shoot but can he defend? His effort is there but he lacks the physical skills needed to stick on a roster.

Knicks: Nothing much of note from the Knicks camp today but James White did make his debut.  White dished out 7 assists accompanied by 1-4 shooting. Honestly White was unselfish to a fault especially on a roster with little talent. He flat out disappeared at times which had me scouring the floor to see if he was still in the game…sadly most of the time he was. Just running up and down the floor getting exercise I presume.

Game 2: Golden State Warriors at Denver Nuggets:

Warriors: GSW has been the most enjoyable team to watch in the two days out in Vegas. Charles Jenkins bounced back from lackluster game one and exploded for 24 points. Everything was working for him offensively drives to the baskets as well as his mid-range shot.

Klay Thompson struggled with his shot despite a hot start. What was good to see was how he stopped forcing threes and attempted to take the ball to the rim once he saw his shot wasn’t falling. 17 points, 6 rebounds, and 4 assists were his totals on just 5-14 from the floor.

Harrison Barnes also struggled with his shot (5-17) but displayed a motor on defense I was unsure he had. He hustled and scraped his way to 13 points, 7 rebounds, and 4 steals. Many of his steals came as he stuck his hand into the passing lanes harassing the opposition as they attempted to cross half court.

Nuggets: Jordan Hamilton had a spectacular first half scoring 14 of his 18 points in the opening 20 minutes. He had a rim rocking driving dunk that drew a favorable crowd response with multiple jumpers to compliment his athletic ability. He was able to shoot from three with a nice release but its concerning how he vanished in the second half.

Kenneth Faried had moments where he showed why he is nicknamed the “Manimal”. One defensive sequence has me still shaking my head at how he got up in the air to block two consecutive Warrior attempts. Unfortunately he is still very unpolished offensively and is most effective if he can catch and finish at the basket. Denver tried to make him a passer at the top of the key early in the game and that turned out disastrously. 10 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 blocks capped Faried’s stat line. He left the game limping but I was unable to determine what his injury was.

Game 3: Los Angeles Lakers at Sacramento Kings:

Lakers: Robert Sacre showed some signs of life notching a double double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. He missed some easy ones and doesn’t have a whole lot of lift but has nice touch on his jumper if unmolested.

Darius Morris scored 17 and Andrew Goudelock scored 11 but neither were impressive combining for 8-29 shooting and 1-10 from three. This Lakers team is bad.

Kings: Thomas Robinson again finished with a nice line (14 points and 12 rebounds) but was not the best player on the court or on Sacramento for that matter. He is having trouble getting his shot off against bigger defenders and was embarrassed by Lakers’ center Greg Somogyi on one sequence where his shot was blocked twice.  T-Rob was frustrated but kept going hard which is a good sign.

Josh Akognon from Cal State Fullerton put  on a shooting display scoring 25 points on 10-16 from the floor. He did what he wanted draining 4 triples and also penetrated with ease on drives to the rim. His performance was the most eye opening on Day 2.

Game 4: Houston Rockets at Washington Wizards:

In all fairness I was unable to stay for the entire contest but here is what I saw.

Royce White is having a lot of trouble staying interested and playing under control. Dontas Motiejunas was figured out pretty quickly scoring just 1 point after his 25 point outburst on Day 1.  Jeremy Lamb (26 points) has great form on his jumper and he was unafraid of Bradley Beal who is supposed to be an above average defender. Terrence Jones (16 points and 5 rebounds) is very smooth and agile. I wouldn’t be surprised if he started over White in their next game.

Wizards: Beal didn’t do much before I left but I am encouraged by his willingness to defend. The Wizards were clearly trying to play through him early on but he doesn’t have the ability to break his man down at will at the NBA level…yet.

Seven games are on the slate for Day 3 which include the debuts of Dion Waiters, Kendall Marshall, and Austin Rivers.  Follow me on Twitter @shawsports [1] for instant analysis on all of Day 3′s action.

Constance The Fairy: Someone Different

After I finsihed scattering the ashes I landed next to Luna and smiled at her.

"Good job." I said

"Thanks." She smiled at me. Just then I picked up something.

"Do you sense that?" I whispered to Jynx. She nodded.

"Is something wrong?" Ember and Amber asked.

"There's something--" Just then that "Something" stood in front of them. I could tell something was up. I took a step forward. "Who are you and what do you want?" I demanded. There was something evil about this creature I could tell just by looking at his face. Yet there was also something else about him.

The End

Ch: 1 AlexMature

Three worlds clash as heaven and hell choose Earth as their war zone. Demons and angels run rampant, destroying everything in site. Buildings are left as dust, debris is scattered where homes once stood, and life may very well go extinct. Can four young adults return balance with nature's blessing?

The first few chapters are a slight introduction to the main characters. Trust me, action picks up and adventure unfolds.

WARNING: Violence/Profanity

Times New Roman script danced across the screen as I finished my last college application.  My senior year was nearing its climax and it seems like life had just began.  I've been scouted by many college teams as a result of my stellar performance as a running back, but I don't want to play football for the remainder of my life, I want to make a difference in the world.

Finally, after reading my admittance essays a thousand times, I click the blue rectangle that reads "Submit."  My heart pounds as I think about what my future may hold at the University of Michigan.

"Dinner is ready!" my mom belts from downstairs.

"You ready to kick some ass at tomorrow's game?" my dad inquires enthusiastically across the dinner table.  He has always been the one who pushed me to be athletic, to live vicariously through me.

"Sure, dad"  I reply, uninterested in the topic.

I stare at the delicious plate set in front of me; sometimes I swear my mother must have went to culinary school.  A thick, juicy steak laid next to a neat pile of bright green lettuce that was tossed with a variety of vegetable and drizzled with a creamy, red vinaigrette.

Thankfully, the night didn't drag on after dinner, and before I knew it I was in bed.  I scrolled through my social media page as the minute hand on my clock ticked by.  Two more weeks until I graduated, two more weeks until I'm free.

The End
