Clime to Go a race for our planet21 out 2021
Climes to Go a race for our planet
The Altri Group is one of the participants in the Climes to Go race. A race against time to fight climate change, towards Glasgow, which in November will host the United Nations Conference on Climate Change - COP26.
The Climes to Go initiative is a competition between three teams of 4 people who, starting on October 22, will travel between Cascais and Glasgow in the most sustainable way possible and with the greatest positive impact on communities.
Among the three themes chosen for the teams (water, energy and sustainable production and consumption), the Altri team is dedicated to water and the use of water resources, an area where the company is an international benchmark. One of its industrial units – Celbi, in Figueira da Foz – is the pulp production unit that uses the least amount per ton of pulp produced. In the 2030 Commitment, the Group commits to halving the 2018 reference values, that is, to using only 10 cubic meters of used water.
During the trip, the teams will have to monitor both their water footprint and their carbon footprint, as well as respond to previously defined challenges. Each team will also have a climate budget (a fictitious currency that evaluates their choices) that they will lose or gain according to the various options along the trip (water consumption, means of transport used, food, accommodation and performance when performing the challenges and tasks). The winning team will be the one that finishes the competition with the highest balance.
Among the objectives of this race are the mobilization of Portuguese society for the urgent climate transition, through an invitation to direct participation in an appealing and challenging way; Demonstrate that the path of decarbonization towards carbon neutrality is possible, necessary and inevitable; Show the feasibility of different modes of transport (as an alternative to fossil fuels) to travel long distances; Demonstrate the influence of lifestyles on our carbon footprint, analyzing the impact of our choices and behaviors on our daily lives and alerting us to the need for adaptation, taking into account the effects of climate change, especially in more vulnerable locations.
The teams will make reports of their trip that will be published on the project's social networks, ensuring the dissemination of the competition and the challenges and solutions achieved.
The trip, which ends on 2 November, will culminate in a side event at COP26 in Glasgow, where attendees will have the opportunity to share their experience.
A viagem, com final a 2 de novembro, culminará num side Event na COP26 em Glasgow, onde os participantes terão a oportunidade de partilhar a sua experiência.

Art professor's exhibition in Spain addresses algae and climate change
February 18, 2020
UC Santa Cruz art professor Jennifer Parker believes that algae are an "unsung hero of the
planet"–noting that these photosynthetic organisms produce one half of the total global oxygen, while absorbing one third of the carbon dioxide produced worldwide.
Parker is co-founder of The Algae Society Bio Art Design Lab, an international collective of artists and scientists who work on issues related to sustainability and the environment, with a particular focus on the effects of global warming on algae.
Parker recently returned from Complutense University of Madrid, where she put together an exhibition in collaboration with one of her former students, Jose Carlos E spinel, who is now employed there as a professor. Titled Drift and Migrate, it was the first exhibition by the Algae Society in Spain.
Designed to show the impact of human activity and global warming on the marine environment, the show included graphic works, photographs, interactive exhibits, audiovisual installations, and sculpture from more than 50 artists from different parts of the world.
"It is often surprising for people to learn what algae is," Parker noted. "For instance, most people don't necessarily know that giant sea kelp is algae. The topics covered in the exhibition range from plastics in the ocean to acidification of the ocean, and the effects that has on different species like coral and sea turtles, which are both vulnerable to extinction."
"The main focus however is phytoplankton as the very bottom of the food chain and integral to the earth's climate as they absorb carbon dioxide," she added. "Warming oceans contribute to less oxygen, which make for less phytoplankton in some cases or in others, depending on which type of phytoplankton, it can cause a bloom. Both critically influence marine eco-systems–less food for fish as the plankton migrate to cooler patches of the ocean and more carbon dioxide make the ocean acidic, ultimately altering the global climate."
Parker described the impact that collaborative artistic and educational projects like the Madrid exhibition can have on fighting (or adapting) to climate change.
"In a paper just published by David Roberts in Vox about the social tipping point for climate change and the things that 'tip that point', the education system is listed as one of the systems that must change to address climate change," said Parker. "The Algae Society is formed by educators who are actively engaged in teaching—it's part of our formula to help better understand the role of human activity on species living on the planet."
She added that The Algae Society will continue to expand its network in an effort to engage different regions and try different types of outreach opportunities.
"The ultimate goal/dream would be to have individuals around the globe shift their thinking of being extractors of the planet's resources, or protectors of earth, to being collaborators with the earth as an equal partner and living in a symbiotic relationship," said Parker.
"Practically speaking, we'd have cities around the world putting together Algae Society exhibits that share not only the role of how algae, at both the macro and micro level, behave in different ecosystems, but also share the beauty and wonder of these organisms and how cohabitation of the planet is vital to human survival."

It is snowing hard tonight; the air thick with flakes, thicker even than the white atmosphere inside your average snowglobe. This encircling opacity is typical in winters when the Western states get the cold and the wet and the Eastern states the warm and dry. Blame it on El Nino or the meddling aliens, or the dreaded Global Warming, but cherry trees are blossoming in the Capital, filling their particular globe with a glowing pinkish purple haze. As the cherry trees flower in the sunlight, their snow-weighted hemlock kin bow low in the shadows, nodding their canopies to the East.

Bats of the genus Pteronotus (Chiroptera: Mormoopidae) are known to inhabit high-temperature roosts. This study examines the thermal ecology of a colony of three different species of Pteronotus in a sea cave on the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica. Previous work found the cave to be inhabited by three species of the same genus: P. personatus, P. parnelli, and P. gymnonotus, and documented that temperatures in the cave at low tide with bats present can exceed 40° C. This high ambient temperature makes this cave one of the few locations where bats have been documented to roost at temperatures warmer than their body temperature. However, the cave fills with seawater during high tide, which potentially creates a cooling effect. We explored whether temperatures in the cave fluctuated significantly with tide levels and the presence or absence of roosting bats. Hobo data loggers were placed in the cave for several days to continually record changes in ambient temperatures within the different parts of the cave at different combinations of tides and bats. Upon entering the cave, temperatures of roosting individuals (during the day), and the cave ceiling (at night) were also recorded using an infrared thermometer.
Temperatures on the ceiling of the cave, which was entirely covered with roosting individuals, at low tide were measured at 40-41°C. However, during low-tides at night (with bats absent), temperatures were only 37-39°C in the equivalent parts of the cave. Ambient air temperatures collected by the Hobo data loggers detected no significant effect of tide levels (low vs. high) on ambient temperature. Results from sensors placed near the bottom of the cave showed significantly lower temperatures when bats were present, but when sensors were elevated ~8m, it was found that temperatures in the upper parts of the cave were significantly higher with bats present. These patterns are likely related to the properties of the cave walls to absorb and radiate heat generated by the bats. In the upper areas of the cave, where bats roost, the presence of bats clearly elevates temperatures. The genus Pteronotus may use these high temperatures as a means of thermal competition to exclude species with lesser heat tolerance from using the otherwise highly-desirable roosting habitat.

Schools have been removing bathroom doors, posting bathroom monitors, and even closing bathrooms in their struggles to handle the surging popularity of vaping among middle school and high school students. That has translated into steady business for a U.S. company offering AI-assisted school surveillance capable of alerting teachers and administrators to suspected vaping or bullying in bathrooms.
Soter Technologies originally developed its Fly Sense device with bullying detection in mind. But schools began asking the company about whether it could also help monitor the rise of vaping—also known as Juuling because of the popular Juul vape pens—among students. In response, the company made Fly Sense into a cloud-connected sensor capable of detecting both the telltale signatures of vaping and elevated sound levels that might indicate fighting or bullying.
"Schools typically install the system and see a spike of vaping incidents in the first two weeks," says Derek Peterson, CEO of Soter Technologies. "And then as they continue to go through their school policy plan of reprimanding the students, they start to see vaping incidents in those locations tail off."
More than 200 schools in the United States and Canada have already installed Fly Sense, including schools across at least 23 states. Four school districts in Florida and California have gone all out to become "full-deployment districts" using the Fly Sense system. Other schools are quickly catching on. The company shipped out more than 400 Fly Sense devices in the past month, Peterson says.
The Fly Sense device uses machine-learning AI that has been trained to detect the water vapor signature coming from vaping pens, e-cigarettes, and other vaping paraphernalia. Most vaping devices popular among students consist of a flavored vaping liquid—sometimes called "vape juice"—that includes a hefty dose of addictive nicotine. Once installed, each Fly Sense device can learn the baseline patterns of water vapor in a given bathroom so that the system's thresholds for what counts as an anomaly can be adjusted accordingly.
The constant evolution of vaping has created a technological arms race of sorts, and has prompted Soter Technologies to continuously update its classification library for vaping signatures. For example, the very first version of Fly Sense could not detect the vaping signature from Juul vape pens, which have become especially popular among students.
Much has changed since that time. In August, the company announced version 2.5 of its Fly Sense device and hopes to roll out version 3.0 in spring 2019. Future versions of Fly Sense could potentially even perform more sophisticated chemical analyses that sniff out the difference between a vaping pen signature with nicotine versus tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active chemical compound found in cannabis.
Soter Technologies claims that the Fly Sense system generally achieves a vaping detection accuracy of between 70 and 80 percent, and that the system has helped schools achieve a 70 percent decrease, on average, in vaping incidents at locations where the system is installed. Each unit costs US $995, which includes one year of service. Then schools must pay $150 per unit per year to subscribe to the monitoring service.
But AI-boosted bathroom surveillance still needs plenty of human help. Whenever a suspected vaping incident triggers an investigation, schools can confirm whether or not the Fly Sense alert had correctly identified vaping or was a false positive. That feedback helps train the system to become progressively more accurate over time.
Schools that install Fly Sense in their bathrooms get access to Soter Technologies' automated cloud platform that tracks the data being collected by Fly Sense and manages the alert system. School administrators can even manage the system so that only specific teachers will receive alerts on their phones from certain Fly Sense devices.
The dual-purpose mission of Fly Sense means that it also has the capability to keep watch for bullying or fighting by detecting sound levels based on decibels. If the sounds in a bathroom or locker room exceed a certain sound threshold—something that can be adjusted by school administrators—that can trigger a similar mobile alert that could prompt a principal or teacher to go investigate. At the same time, the system's lack of natural-language recognition or identification of voices belonging to particular individuals is meant to avoid student privacy concerns.
"The original intent of the product was to take care of the bullying aspect," Peterson says. "That comes from my own personal history of being five-foot-one in high school and being bullied: I have a personal stake in helping rid the world of bullies."
Whatever the use, Fly Sense seems to appeal to schools seeking to tackle different but similarly troubling national trends. Between one-quarter and one-third of U.S. students report being bullied at school. It's an issue that likely affects millions of students each year. On the vaping side, the 2017 National Youth Tobacco Survey found that approximately 2.1 million students had used e-cigarettes.
The vaping trend in particular has attracted new customers for Fly Sense from the corporate world. Many major corporations prohibit vaping on company grounds and seem as interested as schools in an automated solution such as that being offered by Soter Technologies, Peterson says. But given the meteoric rise of vaping among students in recent years, schools remain a primary market for high-tech solutions as long as they fight to deter vaping behavior on school grounds.
"We probably will have about 20 inquiries a day from schools looking to buy the product," Peterson says.

Navigation and Mapping in Forest Environment Using Sparse Point Clouds
Paavo Nevalainen, Qingqing LI, Timo Melkas, Kirsi Riekki, Tomi Westerlund, Jukka Heikkonen
Odometry during forest operations is demanding, involving limited field of vision (FOV), back-and-forth work cycle movements, and occasional close obstacles, which create problems for state-of-the-art systems. We propose a two-phase on-board process, where tree stem registration produces a sparse point cloud (PC) which is then used for simultaneous location and mapping (SLAM). A field test was carried out using a harvester with a laser scanner and a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) performing forest thinning over a 520 m strip route. Two SLAM methods are used: The proposed sparse SLAM (sSLAM) and a standard method, LeGO-LOAM (LLOAM). A generic SLAM post-processing method is presented, which improves the odometric accuracy with a small additional processing cost. The sSLAM method uses only tree stem centers, reducing the allocated memory to approximately 1% of the total PC size. Odometry and mapping comparisons between sSLAM and LLOAM are presented. Both methods show 85% agreement in registration within 15 m of the strip road and odometric accuracy of 0.5 m per 100 m. Accuracy is evaluated by comparing the harvester location derived through odometry to locations collected by a GNSS receiver mounted on the harvester.

Why do we need terracotta?
The porous nature of terracotta allows for air and water to move through the walls, preventing soil disease and root rot. Terracotta pots can be used for indoor plants and outdoor container gardening. They're great for Cacti, Succulents, and other plants that prefer drier soil. Terracotta is great for colder climates. The walls of the pots draw the water out of the soil to help the soil dry quicker. They make a beautiful patina that just gets better with age. The patina is actually mineral deposits that are pulled through the walls of the pots. It's not harmful and can be left or washed off with soap and water. Terracotta is eco-friendly, beautiful. And more importantly, buying terracotta is actually supporting the people of India.
This Terracotta Hanging Shell Shape Planter #16676 was crafted by villagers of India. Terracotta is a type of ceramic pottery. It is one of the most distinct types of clay you'll find, given its rich, rust reddish-orange colouring. The iron content in terracotta clay body reacts with oxygen and gives it a hue that ranges through reds, oranges, yellows and even pinks. It is washable but breakable, so please handle it with care.

A new research centre dedicated to developing technologies for the provision of geothermal sources of energy to cities has been launched in Perth.
The Western Australian Geothermal Centre of Excellence (WAGCOE) is a joint venture between CSIRO and The University of Western Australia, in conjunction with Curtin University of Technology, and supported by the WA State Government.
The Centre brings together researchers, industry, investors and government agencies to investigate how geothermal energy can be used to provide modern cities with air conditioning, power and desalinated water.
Centre Director, UWA Professor and Premier's Fellow Klaus Regenauer-Lieb, said Perth is an ideal geological setting for demonstrating and providing local geothermal energy.
"The shallow groundwater of the Perth Basin is an excellent source of low-grade heat which can be used for direct-use applications that people use every day," Professor Regenauer-Lieb said.
"By exploring for and using low-grade heat in a permeable sedimentary environment, we are addressing a previously overlooked opportunity to broaden the applications and use of geothermal energy.
Our aim is to make Perth the first geothermally cooled city in the coming decade and we are working closely with geothermal lease holders, city planners and other stakeholders to advance the geothermal industry and make this vision a reality", Professor Regenauer-Lieb said.
The Centre links 'below-ground' research with 'above-ground' development, by modelling low-to-intermediate temperature geothermal systems and delivering novel technologies for low-grade heat. Modelling is also being used to identify deeper and hotter geothermal sources including hot sedimentary aquifers and 'hot rocks'.
The Centre will also develop geothermal energy university courses and provide advice and consulting services to industry.

What does all this mean? Bearing in mind the famous retelling of "A lucky tent flies," where the children decided that the reins are fluffy are animals that are blown up by a cubic ruthless flying projectile, we just in case warn: at night, a sweet delicacy marshmallow emits essential oils, and in general night air has nothing to do with it, this is not television for you.
Marshmallow - In ancient Greek mythology - the god of the western wind, which began to blow in the spring and gained strength by the summer. In a figurative sense, marshmallow is a light, warm breeze. Pro Marshmallow as well Boreyhe Aquilon, and other completely outlandish winds can be read on the ShZh in an interesting article. What is the wind like? (Grandmaster Galya Konstantinova).
For in-depth study of the issue to our services there is L. Z. Prokh. The dictionary of winds, which, like the vocations, can be simply read as fiction in a row...
There are winds, one might say, of world significance: monsoons and trade winds. They blow right through the parallels and meridians. Consider them later. And there are local winds associated with the geographical features of the region:
- winds, mainly due to local atmospheric circulation;
- winds, which are currents of the general circulation of the atmosphere, modified by local conditions — low temperatures, dustiness of air, etc.
And these local winds have amazingly romantic names. Anyone who wants to write something from the lives of sailors, pirates or travelers, must memorize these names by heart. And even if you don't write - you just need to mention a couple of such names in stories about your travels, and it is immediately clear that you have a seasoned traveler.
The most common and frequently mentioned regular winds in the literature are the Mistral and the Sirocco.
Mistral falls into the "pipe" separating Sardinia and Corsica from the Strait of Bonifacio and can therefore be 2 points stronger in Porto Pollo than on the north-western beaches. The impact of the wind is about the same as on Tarifa, but not so strong.
Mistral (fr. Mistral) is a cold north-westerly wind blowing from Cevennes to the Mediterranean coast of France in the spring months and is a veritable scourge of agriculture in the Rhone Valley and all of Provence. The mistral period can last from one to nine days, when it blows day and night and reaches strengths up to 9 points. Often the wind is so strong that it rips up trees from its roots. In any case, its constant influence is noticeable on lonely growing trees, which are often tilted to the south.
That's what he wrote about the Mistral K. Paustovsky:
"This state tormented me all night through a fragile dream, it must be because the poet's namesake was a real mad and impolite wind mistral, blowing out from the narrow Alps outside the walls. And he, as you know, confuses human thoughts, annoys people and causes them to make inconsistencies. Obviously, therefore, the local court softens the punishments to people who have committed any wrongdoings during the Mistral. "
Then we read the quotas - and we don't even try to retell their poetic text in our own words.
Sirocco It originates in the depths of the Arabian and North African deserts. It occurs in warm, dry, tropical air masses that move north in the direction of low pressure eastward across the Mediterranean Sea.
Cirocco occurs at all times of the year; in summer - less often, in spring and autumn - more often. It reaches its greatest strength in March and November, developing a speed of up to 100 km / h (55 knots - the strength of a hurricane). However, on the Adriatic coast of Italy and Croatia, it is considered wind of moderate strength. Here, sirocco usually creates long, silent waves without foam that hit the shore hard and then return to the sea with a rustle.
Hot, dry continental air mixes with the colder, humid air of the sea cyclone and, moving counterclockwise, moves to the southern coast of Europe. On the way through the Mediterranean Sea, it becomes more humid, but, nevertheless, it often drains the vegetation of southern Europe, bringing also large masses of dust.
Cirocco causes dusty, dry weather along the northern coast of Africa, storms in the Mediterranean, and cold, wet weather in Europe. It causes dry fogs and a dusty mist. The driest sirocco is on the northern coast of Sicily. Often, because of it, the temperature rises above 40 °, and the relative humidity drops below 30%. Cirocco can last half a day or many days.
The dust brought by sirocco can spoil mechanical devices and get into the living quarters. Cirocco is harmful to health, regardless of whether it is wet or dry. Some sirocco cause nervous disorders, headaches, neuralgia, weakness, sleep disturbance, increased irritability, etc., up to insanity. There are even legends that crimes committed during a sirocco used to be forgiven once, attributed to his driving dryness and heat. In Croatia and Slovenia, it is referred to as "south" (jugo - Croatian). Cirocco, blowing in the south of France, is more humid and is known as Fr. marin.
It should be noted that in Odessa is known spring wind called "wide" - Is there a relative sirocco? Already very consonant!
But read the pilots further. I want to quote whole pieces:
Tramontana (it. tramontana) - cold north and northeast wind in Italy and northeast. Of Spain. Tramontana brings clear, dry weather. Its properties are very similar to mistral.
Tramontana often blows in the winter, and, since on its way it overcomes the snow-covered peaks of the Alps, it is usually cold and makes the necessary winter equipment. Tramontana can cause depression and nervousness, or, conversely, awaken the ability to work and the desire to work. Such a conclusion is contained in a recent study of Spanish psychiatrists. Tramontana "carries the germs of madness," claimed in 1982 the Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez, winner of the Nobel Prize in literature.
21 years later, therapist Conchita Rojo investigated the impact on the human psyche of this powerful dry wind, sometimes blowing for ten days in a row at a speed of more than 150 km / h. According to Dr. Rojo, residents of Catalonia (northeastern Spain) attribute Tramontana the ability to deprive people of reason. The study, which was attended by more than 300 patients, showed that the behavior of about two thirds of the Catalans changes under the influence of this wind, which is able to pull out television antennas.
At the same time, the legend that this wind deprives people of reason and leads to an increase in the number of suicides and incidents of violence, has no scientific basis.
Bora (ital. bora, from the Greek. - north wind) - cold gusty wind that occurs when a stream of cold air encounters a hill in its path; having overcome an obstacle, the boron with great force falls on the valley. The vertical dimensions of the burs are several hundred meters. Covers, as a rule, small areas where low mountains directly border the sea.
In Russia, the forests of the Novorossiysk Bay are especially strong, where they have a northeastern direction and blow more than 40 days a year, Novaya Zemlya, the shores of Baikal. In Europe, the most famous forests of the Adriatic Sea (Trieste, Rijeka, etc.). The duration of the forest is from days to a week. Daily temperature differences during burs can reach 40 ° C.
Before the appearance of the pine forest at the tops of the mountains, thick clouds can be observed, which the residents of Novorossiysk call "beard. Initially, the wind is extremely unstable, changes direction and strength, but gradually acquires a certain direction and tremendous speed - up to 60 m / s at the Markotkh pass near Novorossiysk.
Sometimes boron causes significant destruction in the coastal strip; on the sea the wind contributes to strong excitement; intensified waves flood the coast and also bring destruction; in severe frosts, they freeze, and ice crust is formed. Sometimes boron is felt and far from the shore.
Breeze (fr. La brise, lit. "light breeze") - this is the local wind. Its speed is low - up to 4 m / s. The breeze blows with a daily periodicity on the coast of the seas, large lakes and some large rivers.
This wind changes its direction twice a day, which is caused by the uneven heating of the land surface and the reservoir. Day, or sea breeze, moves from the water surface to the land, and night, or coastal - from the cooled coast to the reservoir.
Breeze often happens in summer when the temperature difference between land and water reaches the highest values. In Ukraine, for example, breezes are observed on the coast of reservoirs, the Black and Azov seas.
Here we finish a very, very brief and superficial overview of the European winds and move on to looking at the pictures (which also show the wind), and in the second part we will look at the winds of other edges - Asia, America and even other worlds. Stay

Dido & Æneas, Opera by H. Purcell
Dido & Æneas was one of the earliest examples of Baroque opera and arguably the finest stage work by British composer Henry Purcell. The libretto, inspired by Book IV of Virgil's Aeneid, was the work of Nahum Tate and tells the story of the love between the Queen of Carthage and the mythological Greek hero. The opera's debut is shrouded in mystery, but many believe it took place on 11 April 1689 at Josias Priest's boarding school for girls. Since then, it has earned international recognition as one of the genre's earliest landmarks. Baroque Opera House revives the Purcell classic in the fitting atmosphere of the Scuola Grande dei Carmini in Venice, one of the best-preserved buildings from that period. The singers are accompanied by Baroque-era chamber orchestra to make the experience even more authentic.
Most classical music aficionados do not necessarily associate Baroque with the opera genre. Nevertheless, that most fruitful artistic period produced quite a few memorable stage works, known for their musical grandeur and epic storylines. Dido & Æneas is no exception. It focuses the melodramatic action on the two main characters' tumultuous love affair, and it is widely believed that librettist Nahum Tate meant for the opera to be an allegory for monarchical love relations at the time. Various scholars have identified King William III and Queen Mary II, England's joint monarchs in the late 17th century, as the true subjects of the story. Others suspect a deeper metaphorical connection and suggest the on-stage Æneas is King James II and Dido – an allegory for the British Empire he brought into a series of crises during his reign.
Whatever its historical roots, Dido & Æneas bears the seal of Henry Purcell's compositional gift. The score alternates between emotion-laden and engaging passages and more light-hearted, boorish choruses. The typical musical structures of the time cannot constrain the composer's creativity. At the beautifully frescoed Chapter Hall of Scuola Grande dei Carmini in Venice, the classic Baroque opera comes to life in a setting that matches its grandiosity.

On August 3, 1881, its name was changed to the Sabine and East Texas. In 1881 the company built thirty miles of track between Beaumont and Sabine Pass and twenty-four miles between Beaumont and Kountze. The next year the railroad was extended 48½ miles from Kountze to Rockland. On October 28, 1882, the 102-mile Sabine and East Texas was sold to the Texas and New Orleans and consolidated with that company. Thirty miles between Sabine Pass and Beaumont were badly damaged and partly washed away on October 12, 1886, but in 1887 were rebuilt. The 12½-mile-long section between Sabine Pass and West Port Arthur was abandoned in 1932, and the section north of Beaumont was not being operated in 1990.

Brake Pedal Guidelines
Wilwood pedal assemblies and integrated balance bars have been designed specifically for racing applications. Properly set-up, this assembly will allow for the precise adjustment of front-to-rear brake bias. The advantages of an adjustable balance bar and dual master cylinders are:
- Brake proportioning can be adjusted by use of different size master cylinder bores for front and rear brakes.
- Front to rear brake balance can be fine tuned by adjusting the balance bar.
- With two independent hydraulic systems, should one master cylinder fail, the other system may remain functional.
Brake pedals should be mounted securely. When possible, keep the master cylinder reservoir level higher than the horizontal plane of the calipers to prevent excessive fluid drain back which can result in double pumping of the pedal. If this is not possible, a two pound residual pressure valve should be plumbed into the brake line at the exit of the master cylinder to prevent fluid drain back (do not confuse the two pound valve with the ten pound version; the ten pound valve is for use with drum brakes only).
Brake pedals should be free to return when no pressure is being applied, allowing the master cylinder pushrod to return to its undepressed position. In some cases, the master cylinder spring (internal) may not be strong enough to fully return the pushrod; in this case an additional pedal return spring can be used. There are two important items for consideration:
1. The brake pedal should have an adjustable return stop on it when a strong pedal return spring is used. This prevents the master cylinder from excessively banging the snap ring stop inside the master cylinder bore (visible under the rubber boot). Adjust the stop so the pedal stops returning at the point when the master cylinder piston retracts against the snap ring, Figure 1.
2. The master cylinder piston must fully retract. If the master cylinder piston is not allowed to fully retract when the brake pedal is not applied, the primary inside seal will not return past the small pressure relief hole (visible within the master cylinder reservoir on some master cylinders). This can cause excessive residual line pressure and contribute to brake drag and an overheating condition, see Figure 1, Detail "A".

should be designed carefully to use such kernel resources judiciously.
 At the same time because we can query a lot of performance data as the interfaces are publicly available, doesn't mean we should query them at a very high frequency. Certain operations can be CPU intensive as we have seen here and we should identify what we really want to query and at what frequency.
 Quoting for the MSDN article Job Objects
 "A job object allows groups of processes to be managed as a unit. Job objects are namable, securable, sharable objects that control attributes of the processes associated with them. Operations performed on the job object affect all processes associated with the job object."
 The above point clearly indicates that the Job Object Framework is intended for processes which are participating in a Job to monitor and control each other's resource usage.
 There could be different reason for which a system administrator needs to gather information about the resource usage by a particular Process. One of them could be to meet Service Level Agreement. In that case we can monitor individual processes running on the server with the counters available under "Performance Object -> Process".
 Equipped with the knowledge that querying Performance Data for Job Object may result in excessive CPU usage on the server, an Administrator should evaluate or consult the application owner (If needed) to understand whether they really want to gather this performance data.
 The following documents are available for application developers to assist with the creation of application specific namespaces. Creation of a private namespace and creating objects under that namespace would ensure that application specific objects are not exposed to the Performance Library because they won't appear under \BaseNamedObjects namespace.
 Object Namespaces
 _URL_

 CreatePrivateNamespace Function
 _URL_

 Job Objects
 _URL_

 CreateJobObjects Function
 _URL_

 This problem would be predominantly noticed on older systems. To mitigate it to a certain extent, Windows Vista (and all post operating systems) have a per-session BaseNamedObjects namespace (i.e., it application-specific objects will be created under namespace in the following form \Sessions\<SessionID>\BaseNamedObjects). Hence these objects will not be exposed to the Performance Libraries and will not be available to query via Performance Monitoring Tools. Unfortunately the changes which were done to the kernel to make this work are too intricate to be back-ported to Windows 2003 SP2.
 This brings me to the end of this post, I hope this information gives you better insight on the how oversight in an applications design can lead to the breaking of some other components at a later stage.

 WMI Nugget: How to Gather the Provider Binary from a WMI Class Name
 - 0 Comments
 It's Venkatesh with a WMI nugget. While troubleshooting or debugging WMI issues you may come across WMI queries wherein you don't know which provider implemented the WMI class used in the query. You may want to know the binary and the product that implemented the provider so you can contact the vendor or upgrade the binary to see if it resolves the issue you are investigating.
 To help make the investigation easier, Windows Vista and all post operating systems have the cool new 'Analytic and Debug log' for WMI tracing. To get similar tracing in Windows 2003 and earlier versions, WMI has a "Verbose Logging" option enabled through the WMI control (WmiMgmt.msc). Check out this blog for detailed steps to enable the WMI Analytic and Debug -
 _URL_
 After enabling WMI logging you will see events like the ones pictured below. There may be a particular WMI query relevant to the issue you're troubleshooting requiring you to know the provider binary for the WMI class in the query. Apart from the class name (InstProvSamp) in the query you need the WMI namespace to which this class belongs to such as '\\.\root\default' as shown below.
 image
 Fig 1: Event ID 1 in the Windows Vista's Event Viewer\Windows Logs\Applications and Services Logs\Microsoft\Windows\WMI-Activity\Trace log
 Now we have the WMI Namespace and the class name so let's find the provider for it.
 1. Get the provider name from the Class Name and Namespace:
 Every WMI class has a qualifier "provider" containing the name of the provider to which it belongs. Using wbemtest.exe connect to the namespace we mentioned above(\\.\root\default). Then get the class information for our class, InstProvSamp using the "Open Class…" button. After clicking "OK" the Object editor for InstrProvSamp displays the class information for InstProvSamp including the name of the provider it belongs to (CIM_STRING qualifier "provider" as shown below).
 image
 image
 2. Get the class identifier (CLSID) of the provider from the provider name:
 For every WMI provider WMI maintains an instance of system class __Win32Provider which contains information about the physical implementation of the provider like CLSID which contains the GUID that represents the class identifier (CLSID) of the provider COM object. Now query the repository to get the provider information for "InstProvSamp" provider as I did below.
 image
 image
 image
 3. Get the provider binary from the provider's CLSID:
 During registration every COM object adds an entry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID. Using regedit.exe you can browse to provider's COM registration information using the CLSID obtained from Step 2 as shown below.
 image
 This should help you connect the dots while debugging your WMI issue. Let me know if you have additional questions!

 Use Caution When Implementing IPC for Performance Counters
 - 0 Comments

 Recently I was working with a developer who had created performance counters that work in Performance Monitor but are never collected in a user defined data collector set. The customer explained that their counters update named shared memory inside the application which should be read by perfmon or the data collector set.

 Putting counter data in shared memory is a common technique for performance counter developers. A programmer can update performance data in a block of shared memory in their application and then use a performance extension dll (aka an "extensible counter") to read from the shared memory.

 Shared memory is created by calling CreateFileMapping and MapViewOfFile. This memory is then accessed by another application by calling OpenFileMapping. All applications which use this shared memory must pass the same lpName to CreateFileMapping or OpenFileMapping. An example of using these APIs to implement shared memory is available on


text: In the past years, the thyristor converter technology has been adopted in the Tokamak coil power supply, mainly because of current carrying capacity and overload capability of thyristor with high power level. However, thyristor converter technology also has inherent defects, including poor dynamic control, low power factor, and producing a large number of reactive power and harmonics that damage to the power grid. With the development of semiconductor power device technology, the power level of full-controllable devices has been improved. Therefore, a new magnet power supply based on full-controllable devices is proposed. The new magnet power supply is composed of voltage source converter (VSC) and H-bridge. In this paper, a new control strategy is proposed to improve the performance of the voltage source converter. The new control strategy is to introduce the neutral point balance factor into the double closed-loop control system to achieve the DC side voltage stability and neutral point potential balance of the whole magnet power supply. Based on the theoretical analysis, the voltage source converter achieves the goal of high power factor and low harmonic operation while realizing the output target voltage and current, reduces the impact on the power grid, and improves the compatibility with the power grid. Finally, the theoretical analysis and the effectiveness of the control strategy are well-verified by Hardware-in-the-loop simulations on the RTLAB.


How to Measure Room Temperature with iphone best way 2021
While your smartphone has temperature sensors, they do not measure room temperature. Instead, these sensors perform an important function for your phone, preventing damage to your battery and other components from overheating. Here is how to measure room temperature with iphone.
To measure ambient temperature with your iPhone, you will need to use a different device. And the use of external sensors prevents the heat generated by your smartphone from affecting your temperature readings. We recommend several different remote temperature monitors, which we will review a little later. But first, let's answer some of your questions about the iPhone and temperature sensors in more detail.
Does the iPhone have a thermometer?
The iPhone has temperature sensors, but like other smartphones, Apple uses sensors to monitor the battery and processor temperature. At extreme temperatures (hot or cold), these sensors turn the device off to prevent damage.
To successfully measure air temperature, you will need a sensor outside the device, as far as possible away from the internal components. It will not be easy to create this setup without disrupting the design of the phone. But even though Apple has designed an outward-facing sensor phone, the temperature reading will not be accurate because your device radiates heat. In how to measure room temperature with iphone.
How to measure room temperature with iphone
You can't check the temperature of a room from your iPhone itself, but you can buy a thermometer that connects to your iPhone via Bluetooth. You can also use these apps and tools to measure the humidity in a room. In how to measure room temperature with iphone.
Is there a room temperature app for the iPhone?
Some app developers have designed room temperature apps for the iPhone. The apps are still using data from these internal temperature sensors and plugging them into an algorithm to estimate the external ambient temperature.
As you know, these temperature sensors are not intended for such use, and any readings provided by apps are estimates only and will have a high margin of error. We recommend that you stay away from these types of apps and instead buy an external temperature sensor such as a WiFi temperature monitor that can be viewed via a app on your smartphone for the most accurate readings. In how to measure room temperature with iphone.
A remote temperature monitor can connect to your phone via WiFi or Bluetooth, so you can leave the sensor in a room and remotely monitor temperature and humidity at any time on your iPhone. You will also be able to view historical data and set custom alerts when the temperature or humidity exceeds your ideal limit.
Best tool for measuring room temperature with your iPhone
There are many excellent sensors for measuring ambient temperature with the iPhone, all of which include a companion app to remotely monitor readings. The three tools below get the best reviews from our readers and are our top recommendations.
Temp Stick WiFi Temperature and Humidity Senso
The Temp Stick is, by far, one of our favorite WiFi thermometers to use with a smartphone. This accurate, reliable and intuitive app makes it very easy to use. Powered by 2 'AA' batteries, you'll get up to a year of use without changing the battery, and with a WiFi connection, the placement of the Temp Stick is limited only by the range of your wireless network.
Setting up the device is a breeze, with most buyers reporting that it takes them less than five minutes to install the app and connect the sensor to their WiFi network. You can view current and historical temperature and humidity readings through the app, set custom alerts and change settings. If you lose connectivity, the Temp Stick can store up to 100 readings in its internal memory, and the best thing is that there is zero subscription fee to use the service.
The ability to alert up to ten contacts is another great feature when the temperature exceeds a predetermined limit. This alert functionality makes it an excellent choice for businesses that can sell temperature-sensitive goods. You can also use it easily at home to inform the whole family about the potential problem. In how to measure room temperature with iphone.
Also read Send multiple photo in iphone.
SensorPush Wireless Thermometer and Hygrometer
Like the Temp Stick, SensorPush also allows you to measure room temperature from your smartphone. However, SensorPush only includes Bluetooth connectivity, so you need to be close to the sensor to access data. The sensor range is 325 feet of line of vision. Also, if the connection to your phone is lost, the sensor can store up to 20 days of data onboard. Like the Temp Stick, it also has a battery life of about a year. in how to measure room temperature with iphone.
Without wifi is positive. It allows the company to sell SensorPush for much less than its competitors. You can also buy an optional WiFi gateway to connect your sensor to the Internet and view data when you are not at home. Do not mistake the low price of SensorPush for lack of quality. Swiss-made sensing components ensure that the readings you receive are accurate and reliable.
If you avoid the limitations, this SensorPush is one of the top rated thermometers on Amazon, with more than 2,200 five-star reviews. If you are on a budget, this is an option to consider.
Ambient Weather WS-8482-X3
If you are serious about temperature monitoring around your home, choose the ambient weather WS-8482-X3. This model can support up to seven sensors, including additional thermo-hygrometers, optional soil moisture, or floating water temperature sensors. It is one of the most versatile remote temperature monitors on the market.
The setup includes a WiFi-enabled base station / console that allows you to view data without logging into the app, as well as three temperature and humidity sensors. If you want to monitor the many rooms or areas around your property, the WS-8482-X3 is our top recommendation.
WS-8482-X3 uploads its data to the company's online web and app-based portal AmbientWeather.net, where you can view readings and set custom alerts. The price is also very reasonable, and it provides the most value for money for those who need to track temperatures in more than one area. In how to measure room temperature with iphone.
The conclusion
If you need to measure room temperature with your iPhone, do not use the app. Instead, choose one of the external sensors above, as you will get more accurate (and useful) readings. We found the Temp Stick to be the best model overall because it is accurate, reliable and easy to setup. However, both SensorPush and WS-8482-X3 are great options.
This is all about how to measure room temperature with iphone, Thanks for reading.
FAQ(how to measure room temperature with iphone)
Can I use my phone as a room thermometer?

عنوان مقاله [English]
The rapid growth of population demands higher land use efficiency to ensure food security. The most appropriate way to reach this goal is to increase yield per unit area. In this regard, the assessment of soil fertility and productivity is a prerequisite for developing sustainable agriculture. Soil fertility indicates the soil capability to provide optimum conditions for plant growth. Assessing soil fertility is an essential need to identify environmental-friendly strategies leading to more sustainability in agricultural systems. Soil fertility directly and indirectly affects the yield and crop quality. In order for food security and increased food production to be achieved, the development of a useful method for assessing soil fertility and productivity is fundamental. Various modeling techniques have been proposed as a useful tool to determine soil fertility. An assessment of the soil fertility status by using a soil index could provide key information to improve strategies and effective techniques for the future to achieve sustainable agriculture. The present study was conducted: (1) to determine the soil fertility index (SFI) using two methods which are conceptually different from each other including: Fuzzy-AHP and parametric methods; (2) to identify the main soil limiting factors for tea production; and (3) to compare two methods of quantitative assessment of soil fertility in relation to tea yield in tea cultivation with different productivities in west Guilan province.
Materials and Methods Based on the mean annual tea yield, the selected tea cultivation were divided into low, medium, and high productivity. Sixty-six soil samples were collected from 0 to 30 cm depth. The green tea leaves were harvested at a 2 m2 plot at each site. In this research, clay, silt, and sand content, mean weight diameter of soil aggregates, bulk density, soil pH, electrical conductivity, soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, available potassium, available copper, and zinc were measured by conventional methods. Then, the soil fertility indices of tea cultivation with different productivities were determined by fuzzy-analytical hierarchy process (SFI-Fuzzy AHP) and Parametric (SFI-Parametric) analyses. The Fuzzy analytical hierarchy process is a combination of factor weights of AHP with the fuzzy values of each parameter. The product of values generated from individual fuzzification of parameters with their corresponding factor weights. All soil parameters were tested using one-way analysis of variance and the differences among means were analyzed using Tukey's significant difference test at the probability level of 0.05.The coefficients of determination for the linear regression between the two SFI values and tea yields were conducted.
Results and Discussion Results indicated that the effect of pH, available potassium and copper, mean weight diameter, and bulk density on tea yield was significant (p <0.01). The highest of organic carbon, mean weight diameter, available potassium and copper were obtained in high productivity. The highest of soil pH and bulk density were related to low productivity. The main soil limiting factors for tea production were soil organic carbon, available potassium, and soil pH. The results showed that for both SFI-Fuzzy AHP and SFI-Parametric methods, the highest and lowest soil fertility indices were related to high and low productivity, respectively. The mean SFI- Fuzzy AHP of the high productivity tea were significantly higher than low productivity tea cultivation. It was found that SFI- Fuzzy AHP is superior to SFI-Parametric to evaluation of soil fertility for tea production .So that, the correlations between crop yields and SFI- Fuzzy AHP (R2= 0.63) is higher than SFI-Parametric (R2= 0.50).
Conclusion Understanding the soil fertility status is one of the important aspects of sustainable soil management in order to optimal crop production and prevent environmental degradation. Considering the importance of yield as an important indicator in the sustainable management of agricultural ecosystems, it is expected that there is great potential for increasing crop yield by improving soil fertility. The SFI- Fuzzy AHP of the high productivity tea were significantly higher than low productivity tea cultivation and created more differentiation between various soil fertility classes in tea cultivation. Therefore, determining the soil fertility index by Fuzzy-AHP method to evaluate the soil fertility of tea cultivation is superior to the parametric method. Based on the obtained results, it is suggested that for the optimal tea production, in addition to the application of potassium fertilizer, the exact amount of which should be estimated based on the soil test results, the organic matter application should also be considered.

Therapeutic exercises are specific exercises meant for correcting specific problems. Depending the matter of your concern, your chiropractor may give you a list of exercises to perform to reduce discomfort. The focus of therapeutic exercise is to regain flexibility, strength, and endurance related to specific physical problems.
Therapeutic exercise aims to improve, restore, and prevent loss of physical function. It can also improve a patient's overall health, fitness, and sense of well-being.
Additional objectives of Therapeutic exercise include:
- Increasing mobility
- Releasing contracted muscles, tendons, and fascia
- Mobilizing joints
- Improving circulation
- Improving respiratory capacity
- Improving coordination
- Reducing rigidity
- Improving balance
Therapeutic exercises are classified into three major categories:
- Endurance training
- Resistance training
- Flexibility training
No matter what type of exercise is prescribed to remedy a patient's specific condition, the final goal of rehabilitation is to acquire a maximum level of physical fitness, without the use of more invasive methods. Therapeutic exercise can be performed at home, and gives you the power to improve your quality of life.

Since 1998, the Museum has been
collaborating with Artist Image Resource (AIR) and a number of area schools,
including the former Schenley High School (Warhol's alma mater) and Pittsburgh's
High School for the Creative and Performing Arts (CAPA), on art-making and
art-viewing projects. The focus of these projects is to teach young people all
aspects of the creative process through the lens of Andy Warhol's art and life
and the vision of practicing artists. Artist and School Partnerships are
supported by grants from The Grable Foundation, The Surdna Foundation and The
National Endowment for the Arts.
AIR began in 1995 and is an artist organization
integrating fine art printmaking with education programs exploring the creative
process. AIR provides artists with residency opportunities to work in
collaboration with master printers and is the only facility of its kind in the
tri-state area. AIR education projects create a vital environment where artists
and educators mentor students in an exploration of art, social issues and the
role media plays in our lives.
Pittsburgh's High School for the Creative
and Performing Arts (CAPA)
CAPA is a unique arts magnet
school, one of the first in the nation, where students receive training to
pursue careers in the arts. In 2004 CAPA relocated within walking distance of
The Warhol enhancing collaborative potential. All of the arts programs are
taught by an adjunct faculty of working artists who are committed to providing
students with learning opportunities that offer access to professional artistic
resources outside of school settings.

Wake up & smell the coffee even before your first cup of the day! Invigorate your senses in a bath or shower with our unique mix of Dead Sea minerals, natural brown sugar & coffee, proven to effectively remove dead skin cells & improve blood circulation. Did you know that caffeine and EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) in coffee helps neutralize free radical damage?
Benefits of Use:
When applied to the skin, the caffeine absorbed into your bloodstream has a positive chemical reaction with blood cells having many benefits such as:
- Detoxification: the antioxidants found in coffee aid in cleansing your skin of chemical toxins & other impurities, encouraging skin cell growth & preventing free radicals (molecules that are released when processing food, burning sugars or breaking down medicines) that can cause harm to blood vessels.
- Reduce inflammation & puffiness: The caffeine in coffee constricts blood vessels just beneath the skin, helping to reduce swelling, inflammation & redness.
- Exfoliation: the granular texture of coffee is ideal in clearing away dead skin cells, revealing new skin after routine use.
- Improves circulation: coffee absorbed into the skin aids in activating blood vessels by dilating them & causing your heart rate to quicken, allowing blood to circulate faster throughout the body.
- Anti-aging: the antioxidants in coffee such as Vitamin C & E, selenium & flavonoids are a catalyst for anti-aging.
Directions for Use: in shower, bath or spa treatment: Scoop between fingers, apply to wet skin and gently massage in a circular motion. Rinse thoroughly & pat dry.

Download: It is recommended to install Sawja via opam but the sources are also available here : Sawja 1.5.7.
Introduction
Javalib is a library that parses Java .class files into OCaml data structures. Javalib offers primitives to extract information from, manipulate, and generate valid .class files.
It is distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (see the LICENSE file) and available on Github.
Sawja is a library written in OCaml, relying on Javalib to provide a high level representation of Java bytecode programs. Its name stands for Static Analysis Workshop for JAva. Whereas Javalib is dedicated to isolated classes, Sawja handles bytecode programs with their class hierarchy and control flow algorithms1.
Moreover, Sawja provides some stackless intermediate representations of code, called JBir and A3Bir. The transformation algorithm, common to these representations, has been formalized and proved to be semantics-preserving2,3.
It is distributed under the GNU General Public License (either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version).
An Eclipse plugin for Sawja analyses is now available: it allows developers to add an analysis in Eclipse just by adding an executable.

Quick start
We quickly present some OCaml code allowing to load a full program and to transform it into JBir intermediate representation. To get started, run the command make ocaml in the source repository of Sawja. Then you can run the generated toplevel named ocaml, which includes Javalib and Sawja modules. You need to enter some #directory directives to specify the location of the .cmi files needed by Javalib and Sawja.
Loading a program
Given an archive test.jar containing a class named Test.class defining a main method, we can load the corresponding program, assuming that the $CLASSPATH environment variable contains the test.jar file and the Java Runtime rt.jar.
Enter the following directives in your toplevel:
 #cd "... path of your test.jar archive ...";;
 #directory "... path of Ptrees sources ...";;
 #directory "... path of Extlib sources ...";;
 #directory "... path of Camlzip sources ...";;
 #directory "... path of Javalib sources ...";;
 #directory "... path of Sawja sources ...";;
The different modules of Sawja and Javalib are encapsulated in Sawja_pack and Javalib_pack modules. To uses them, you have to load the different used library and thoses packs:
 #load "ptrees.cma";;
#load "extLib.cma";;
#load "str.cma";;
#load "unix.cma";;
#load "zip.cma";;
#load "javalib_pack.cmo";;
#load "sawja_pack.cmo";;
 let (prta,instantiated_classes) =
 JRTA.parse_program (Sys.getenv "CLASSPATH")
 (JBasics.make_cms (JBasics.make_cn "Test") JProgram.main_signature);;
Now we generate the .html files corresponding to the parsed program prta. One file per class is generated and the package tree is reproduced in the destination directory. The destination directory must exist otherwise an exception will be raised.
 let outputdir = "./test";;
 let () = JPrintHtml.JCodePrinter.print_program prta outputdir;;
You can open the file ./test/Test.html with a web browser and navigate through the class hierarchy, or follow the control flow graph.
Transforming a program
We transform the previously loaded program from the JCode representation to the JBir intermediate representation.

let pbir = JProgram.map_program2
 (fun _ -> JBir.transform ~bcv:false ~ch_link:false ~formula:false ~formula_cmd:[])
 (Some (fun code pp -> (Ptmap.find pp (JBir.pc_bc2ir code)))) prta;;
To see how JBir representation looks like, we can generate the corresponding .html files.
 let () = JBir.print_program pbir outputdir;;

About this book
Second-Generation High-Temperature Superconducting Coils and Their Applications for Energy Storage addresses the practical electric power applications of high-temperature superconductors. It validates the concept of a prototype energy storage system using newly available 2G HTS conductors by investigating the process of building a complete system from the initial design to the ﬁnal experiment. It begins with a clear introduction of the related background and then presents a comprehensive design of a superconducting energy storage system that can store maximum energy using a limited length of superconductors. The author has created a modeling environment for analysis of the system and also presents experimental results that are highly consistent with his theoretical calculations.

Doty ======================================================================= ======================================================================= Richard (Rick) C. Doty: Telephone interview: Jan. 8, 1988 (Highlight/Excerpts) 1. Says unable to meet with PJK this weekend, will not be in the area, returning Thursday/Friday. 2. He asked what he could do for me and I said I wanted to get him (sic) comments on allegations against him in Just Cause and in MUFOn (sic) Journal. Said he has seen both. PJK: Are you planning to take any action? RCD: I've already taken action. I've an attorney that last summer took some action on my behalf regarding the allegation that I allegedly had leaked these documents. {{PJK Note: But that allegation would not (sic) made publicly by Greenwood until Sept. 1987}} And Greenwood, Gersten, Moore and a couple other people were involved. WELL, I HAVE AN AFFIDAVIT SIGNED BY BILL MOORE THAT WAS EXECUTED IN COURT WITH MY ATTORNEY PRESENT THAT SAYS THAT BILL MOORE NEVER, EVER RECEIVED ANYTHING FROM ME OTHER THAN SOME BITS AND PIECES ABOUT AN INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED AT KIRTLAND IN 1980. {{PJK doubts this could have occurred in the few months since allegations were made public.}} "HE GAVE THE PERSON'S NAME IN THE AFFIDAVIT THAT HE RECEIVED THE DOCUMENTS FROM, AND THIS PERSON--I DON'T KNOW HIM--THIS PERSON IS IN WASHINGTON D.C. AND MY ATTORNEY WENT TO WASHINGTON D.C. AND SPOKE TO THIS PERSON AND HE DENIED EVER GIVING BILL MOORE ANYTHING ALTHOUGH HE SAID HE HAD REGULAR CONTACT WITH BILL MOORE. {{PJK: Very doubtful claim}} So, allegedly, Peter Gersten was given this information and then apologized saying that they never had any concrete information that I had given him anything anyways, but they had kind of put two and two together and thought that it must have come from me. PJK: You say that Moore signed an affidavit. Have you made that affidavit public? RCD: No, no I haven't. PJK: Do you plan to? RCD: I don't know. It's up to the attorney. Again, this happened last year and I have had (sic) any further contact with MUFON or the CAUS people. {He later changes this story.} When that article came I was inundated with phone calls and letters and people trying to interview me saying they want to know what this is all about. And I don't even know, I didn't know, I didn't see these documents until October or November. {NOTE: he is referring to the MJ-12 papers, which were first made public in late May/early June, 1987} And I too (sic) one look at them and said, these are phoney. (Laughs) These aren't even credible documents. What I was shown had some legitimate documents in that was obtained FOIA but these other ones that were released--apparently Bill Moore released it in some kind of a news release. He claimed to have gotten these in (PJK: In December, 1984). Well I wasn't even in the country, nor would anyone have had access to me in 1984. All these things were started in the lawyer's--I can't remember what the legal term was he used--but the court document refuting the claim that I gave him. PJK: Would you be willing to give me the name of your lawyer? RCD: Ah, I can give him your name and he can contact you. But why would you want to know that? PJK: (Explains I am long-time UFO skeptic/investigator, that if MJ-12 papers were authentic, it would be biggest story for AW&ST. So I dug into MJ-12, found evidence to indicate they are a hoax.) RCD: Yeah, you just have to look at them. A fifth grader could tell they're not properly classified and down grade instructions. I've been working in classified for 20 years, from all levels. When my lawyer showed me copies of them--and my lawyer is retired military, of course, and he could tell they're phoney. Apparently Gersten's crew knew they were phoney. PJK: (Explains prevailing view among UFO believers is that MJ-12 is a hoax, but question is who is responsible for producing them.) RCD: WELL, THE FBI KNOWS THAT. THE FBI KNOWS WHO DID IT. THAT INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED TO THE FBI, THE FBI INTERVIEWED THIS PERSON AND OF COURSE THIS PERSON DENIED HE EVER GAVE THEM TO HIM (Moore). But I thin what this person did was he created the documents--I don't know if Bill Moore was actually involved in it, I don't think he was, but it's a possibility. The FBI never pursued it, I don't know why, unless they just couldn't. I don't know if there was any law that this guy broke. I don't if that is public record or not, but you'd have to go to the FBI to find out. BUT I KNOW FOR A FACT THEY INTERVIEWED HIM--THIS PERSON IN WASHINGTON D.C. PJK: And about when would that have been? RCD: Ah, gee, last year (ie. 1987) PJK: How would the FBI have located this person in Washington--I'll call him Mr. X-- RCD: As a matter of fact that's what William Moore called him, Mr. X. PJK: Are you suggesting that Moore told the FBI who X is? RCD: I don't. To tell you the truth I don't remember how--and I don't even know if I was privvy (sic) to that information as to how the FBI found ought (sic) who this guy was, but I think that after this stuff came out the Justice Dept. investigated it or made some inquiries or something and then found out, I don't know how. I don't have that information. --------------------------------------------------------- PJK then raises allegations made by CAUS and reads the first: "In 1984, Linda Moulton Howe, who produced the well-known cattle mutilation film STRANGE HARVEST, was contacted by a government source {{CAUS later identifies this source as Doty}} to aid in producing a UFO documentary, essentially providing the answer to UFOs. She was invited by the source, briefed on the story, then sworn to secrecy about it unti the film's eventual release. The deal was never completed. Details of the story given to her match the MJ-12 tale, along with much extra detail about contacts with 'EBES' {{Extraterrestrial Biological Entities}}, Nordic type aliens called 'Highs' and conflicting alien factions." What can you tell me about your contact with her? RCD: (Laughs) OK. In my duties, in my official government duties I made contact with her AND I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY, I made contact with her for information that she had that she was willing to share with us. The information had nothing to do with UFOs, absolutely nothing to do with UFOs. {{PJK note: Howe is a slightly wacky free-lance TV producer who focuses on UFOs, cattle mutilations, UFO-abductions, etc. --What kind of info would she have that Doty would seek "in an official" capacity--and which is so sensitive he could not tell me??}} When she found out I was with a government agency and I was the same one that had investigated the (UFO) incident (at Kirtland) in 1980, she started asking me questions about UFOs, about what I thought about UFOs, and what my beliefs were about them, and if I could tell her anything about what the government had. And I told her, I don't know very much. I can tell you what happened at Kirtland, because I investigated it. Probably it can be explained away. She said that she had been involved with Budd Hopkins and a number of people who claimed to have been abducted (by UFOs) and then she gives me this whole story about aliens abducting people, and they're called EBES, and then she said she had a contact--I later found out who it was--that had showed her some government documents pertaining to MJ-12 and all this other stuff. But I never, ever originated any contact regarding UFOs with her. Because of our continuing interest in what she was doing--NOT UFOs but to something else--she would ask me questions like what do you think about this, what do you thing (sic) about that? I can tell you that in 1985, excuse me in May, 1986, I TOOK AN EXTENSIVE POLYGRAPH EXAMINATION PERTAINING TO AN AL
