Michigan Passes Bill to Make It Illegal to Forcefully Microchip Employees
The Michigan House passed a bill on Wednesday making it illegal for companies to force microchips on employees, reported ABC. The use of such technology has been on the rise lately.
"With the way technology has increased over the years and as it continues to grow, it's important Michigan job providers balance the interests of the company with their employees' expectations of privacy," State Representative Bronna Kahle of Lenawee County, who sponsored the bill, told ABC.
Kahle added that although the chips are not a big problem at the moment in Michigan, she wanted to get ahead of the issue.
"While these miniature devices are on the rise, so are the calls of workers to have their privacy protected," she told ABC.
The new miniature microchips are about the size of a rice grain and are normally implanted in employees' hands to track productivity. This allows superiors to look for ways to boost efficiency.
The microchips can also take the place of time cards, ID badges, and security clearance devices. Some even come with credit card technology.
The technology, for now, has been safe for use in the human body but comes with a profound violation of privacy. The new bill would still allow employees to be microchipped if they want to do so. It would just ensure that the procedure is not mandatory.
Some find the chips useful and convenient while others profoundly fear them. Whatever people think of these chips it is good to know that we would have the choice not to implant them.
What do you think of the microchips? Are they an efficient way to boost productivity and make life easier or are they a violation of privacy?

Introduction: Altoids Tin Doodle Pad / Pencil Case
Yes, I finally took the plunge and bought myself some Altoids Curiously Strong Peppermints off ebay... Not that I like mints (don't worry, Altoids lovers, they went to a good cause (my grandpa ;-) ) ), I just wanted the tins.
Anyway, I had a thought for a use of one. I am always wanting to doodle, but never have the right stuff on me or nearby. And so came my Altoids tin doodle pad / pencil case.
I went by a rule of threes for my stationary, so I had 3 pencils, 3 pens (okay I killed one so I needed to make another once I got one) and 3 rubbers.
Without further ado, here we go!
Step 1: Finished / More?
Enjoy your new portable doodle pad and pencil case!
Any ideas? Comment!

Aren't rubbers another name for condoms?!?
where would I get a tin in aus
I would check candy shops or grocery stores. The mints are very good! Also very handy in odd moments like when the girl/boy you adore is about to walk by.

A Japanese Mayor Bit an Athlete's Gold Medal. Now It Has to Be Replaced
It is an Olympic tradition for winning Olympians to bite their gold medal. But a sacrilege when someone else does it.
The Japanese mayor of Nagoya, Takashi Kawamura, learned this lesson the hard way when he bit the gold medal as he posed for the cameras. What made it worse was that the medal actually belonged to Miu Goto, a softball pitcher in the Japanese softball women's team.
Immediately after his stunt was published, the city of Nagoya received at least 4,000 complaints about the incident. Now, the bitten medal will be replaced.
People condemned Kawamura for ignoring COVID-19 protocols by removing his mask and contaminating the medal with his saliva.
According to a Reuters report, the International Olympic Committee, Japanese Olympic Committee, and Tokyo Olympics organizers coordinated to make the exchange possible, and Miu Goto, the softball pitcher to whom the medal belonged, agreed.
Organizers have previously ribbed athletes not to bite their medals because these are not edible. "Our medals are made from material recycled from electronic devices donated by the Japanese public. So, you don't have to bite them... but we know you still will"
We just want to officially confirm that the #Tokyo2020 medals are not edible!— #Tokyo2020 (@Tokyo2020) July 25, 2021
Our ???????????? medals are made from material recycled from electronic devices donated by the Japanese public.
So, you don't have to bite them... but we know you still will ???? #UnitedByEmotion
Japan is a huge baseball and softball nation. It easily snatched the gold from powerhouse U.S. in a 2-0 sweep.

When the -Cannibalistic Human Underground Dwellers- meet the -OC Babes and the Slasher of Zombietown- spoilers will explode while Zombie Master reviews Black Sheep from 2006.
{Scene One}
Hell is Full, and Zombie Master is here to give you a good night's sleep as he recounts Black Sheep. Now for the best month of the year, October. I will be reviewing my top four favorite zombie films starting out with today's splattering of zombie goodness another movie from New Zealand. We open up on majestic hills and farmland seeing a number of boys on four wheelers herding sheep. We see a boy with a leg brace in the distance walk off looking annoyed before we get a well done title card for this movie.
After the quick title card we are back with the boy in the leg brace, killing a sheep that when we see one of the other boys comes up we can tell was obviously his pet. The boy goes searching for his pet sheep, and when he enters the barn it falls skinned from the ceiling, and his sicko psychopathic brother jumps out of the shadows in the sheep's skin covered in the still warm blood until an older woman comes and tells them to stop because their father has died in an accident. Oh the timing! Oh the irony!
(Shout Out – http://www.UnderYourBed.org/)
{Scene Two}
We do a cut to fifteen years later, and come in on obviously the same kid just fifteen years older in a cab surrounded by sheep having a panic attack, calling his therapist. After the flock disperses they get on their way and we pass by a beat up station wagon that has a "meat is murder" bumper sticker and we meet two environmentalist. Grant and Experience, yes… her name is Experience, which personally I think is awesome. Grant has what has to be the worst hairdo in the totality of zombie films ever made. After a few moments we are back with the guy in the cab pulling up to the house and we see he has an almost five hundred dollar cab fare and has the cab wait (I wish I had that kind of money).
Walking through the house he ends up in an office, and shortly has a double barrel shotgun pressed to the back of his head. We finally learn his name is Henry and the older woman who seems like she was a surrogate mother to him is Mrs. Mac (the best character in the movie). Jumping ahead, we see Henry and his brother Angus (the sadistic little brat from earlier), make a deal about the farm, Angus of course gets condescending about Henry's phobia of sheep which he certainly caused. I will give though when Angus baaaas at him, it is funny. Going back with the environmentalist, we see Grant pull a move that is well… STUPID. He steals a vial that the researchers were disposing of… Now… if you have ever watched ANY zombie movies, ANY outbreak movies, or even ANY horror movies in general we know that stealing vials of ANYthing is likely going to be the catalyst for the trouble we are about to watch ensue.
The short version, they chase him, he runs, Experience runs. Grant drops said container and it breaks and he gets his ear bitten off by what seems to be a moving sheep embryo. All that goes through my head is (Play Clip: Monty Python Quote – " I soiled my armor, I was so scared.")
{Scene Three}
Skipping ahead a couple of scenes, we end up back watching the zombie ewe crawl away as Grant lays in the fetal position. The embryo thing ending up near the flock and the little bugger ends up baaaing till one of the other sheep comes up and it bites its snout.
We go back to Henry who is now driving up to where his father died for the first time since it happened, with the third kid from the flashback Tucker who is now the farm manager. They almost drive over a sheep just standing in the road. After they get out to move it, they meet Experience who takes their gun and tries to hold them up but fails miserably at it. Tucker pretty much has to walk her through all the steps of holding them up.
Zombie Master wants to stop and give you all a tip for when the undead come to town. There is this thing called the safety on a gun, which most of you probably know of. It keeps people from shooting themselves. Make sure this is off, when you go to shoot the undead or you very well may become one. I will leave a link in the show notes at HellisFull.net/episode29 on where to find the safety on a gun.
Moving on… we see Grant in the woods not looking well, he eat a live rabbit raw and this goes through my head. (Play clip – Monty Python "It is the rabbit")
Pushing forward we see a random guy making beans hear a baaa at his door then we hear screams. Shortly thereafter our three friends see smoke and as they going in to check it out this pops into my head (Play Clip ~ Jefferson's Theme "Beans Don't Burn on the Grill") after Henry puts out the beans, they notice that the place is covered in blood. After which they are confronted by a flesh hungry sheep… (YES. I just said a flesh hungry sheep.) and we get one of the best lines of the movie after they lock themselves in a room, with Henry saying he has an irrational phobia that this is going to happen. My thought is this, *public service announcement style voice* remember boys and girls, just because people call you paranoid does not mean that everyone is not out to get you! *end PSA Voice*
{Scene Four}
Going outside for some fresh air, Experience sees that the sheep have surrounded them. When Tucker goes for the truck, Experience goes all new age to help Henry remain calm and well… Henry becomes a tree, he centers himself or something like and they get out of there. However Tucker has a visitor in the cab of the truck having to punch and kick the sheep that is going for his neck. It bites his boot, and he finally gets away from it before they have to jump from the moving truck with the dog that just seemed to appear out of nowhere and as ewe'd guess the sheep drives off the cliff baaing one last time in what has to be sheep for Ooooohhhh Shiiiiiiiiii… Also it happens to be the same cliff Henry's father died falling off of. Experience not surprisingly puts her foot in her mouth we then cut to the cab and see Henry's fare is now over one thousand dollars.
Trotting on over to Angus we see him meet Grant who's looking rather zombie like however still talking all human like… Which confuses me, he then bites Angus's hand and we all cheer! Because… Angus is a douche. Though I do wish he would have taken off his whole hand. Going on, we see our three friends getting chased by a flock of sheep with EPIC chase music in the background. Just awesome. They end up at the lab and find a sheep skinned, cut stem to stern yet still alive and heart still pumping.
Going through it quickly they drug Tucker who has been bit, Angus holds Experience and Henry at gun point they run get chased by sheep with comical chase music and then Angus lets his brother fall down a hole into a pit of sheep guts and embryos taking Experience down with him.
{Scene Five}
Moving Forward we see Angus come into the lab and the scientist lady covers up that she found Trevor's foot where he got bit is now a hoof, we cut to a couple of Angus's men getting eaten by the zombie sheep and she makes fun of Angus for his proclivities when it comes to sheep. We go back with Henry and Experience trying to get out of the gut palace and when we hear a baaa Henry screams like a little girl. We learn Experience is claustrophobic, Henry helps her become a tree then they run from another zombified sheep. After they get away from it they make it clear they wool not tolerate this by setting it on fire.
Going back to Angus he scares himself by being a baaaaad boy in the study baaing at himself. Again back with Experience and Henry they are facing Grant who now is a zombie weresheep. Experience scolds him for having eaten meat distracting him momentarily, and they run. YaY! More Running!
Now again with Tucker we see him change, and I have to say that they have some really impressive effects that make the change look exceedingly painful. They give him an antidote and it looks even more painful to change back. We learn that scientist lady is insane as she talks of changing him back and forth then her assistant runs, she goes to take Angus some of the antidote and finds her assistant has become sheep chow. She runs, and as one would expect gets taken out with a classic camera angle.
(Shout Out – http://www.DeadFilm.net/)
{Scene Six}
We come back in on Henry and Experience seeing the entire heard coming over the crest of a hill directly at the smorgasbord of investors and carnage ensues like a lamb to the slaughter. I have to say the gore effects in this scene are phenomenal you could watch this movie for this scene alone. We also see Henry's cab driver reading from the Bible and giving himself as a sacrifice to the sheep. Henry must be thankful for not having to pay that fare and he gets to keep the cab to boot. Mrs. Mac shows up and picks up Henry and Experience as it is time for dinner then realizes what's going on and we briefly see Angus take his special ewe with him to his office.
After they all get to the house, zombie weresheep Grant comes in one more time but Experience puts him down with an acupressure point. Then the entire flock surrounds the house. Going upstairs to Angus in the study… because… of the blatant innuendo… sadly… all that I can think is this (Play Clip – "Dirty Deeds Done with Sheep") or to put it another way… Angus. In the Study. With the Sheep. You've Won CLUE! Henry busts in to Angus's surprise that Henry's still alive, Angus decides to stay with his partner Betsy the sheep and Henry says good bye to him. We see the sheep tear apart the study yet leave Angus alone as he's one of the infected.
Back with Henry he has been bit, and he makes it clear he is not a tree he is a sheep… Once everyone decides not to run, we get a wonderful scene of Mrs. Mac driving over sheep and zombie weresheep alike laughing her head off as Experience blasts them with the shotgun. In the final showdown Angus has become a zombie weresheep… HOWEVER, Henry is able pull an Indiana Jones and gets him to stand in front of the moving plane getting taken out by the propeller. Just then Tucker arrives and shoots Angus and Henry up with the antidote, Angus regains his composure but is pretty torn to pieces and he decides to give himself to the flock. They go about let's just say, eating his manhood first and in one last moment of my mind taking control… this goes though my skull… (Play Clip – "Dirty Deeds Little Bo Peep"). They finally have the flock wrangled and in one of the silliest Zippo explosion scenes EVER put to film, Henry throws the lit Zippo and blows up the entire flock by lighting one of their farts on fire, and we cut to black.
When we come back in they are curing all the investors it would seem, and go about curing the last one which turns out to be Grant who just babbles to himself. Like I think any person would after having been turned into a zombie weresheep. We end panning up a hill seeing the dog and then it baaas.
{Final Thoughts}
When it comes to the final thoughts, as I said in the beginning for October your Zombie Master will be reviewing his top four favorite zombie movies. I will admit in some ways, Black Sheep does stretch the term zombie to the limit being closer to a creature feature than a tried and true zombie film. HOWEVER, I still see it as a zombie film, and one of the best zombie comedies ever made. The effects from beginning to end are superb, the acting is amazing, the story is surprisingly engrossing even if ridiculous, and the movie gives you what you would think you would be getting from a zombie film called Black Sheep. If I was trying to find something negative to say about it, which I find exceedingly hard to do it would be that I wish the scientists would have had a little more time so we could have seen more of their twisted laboratory. Otherwise this movie IS awesome, annnnd I say find it, watch it, enjoy it. It is Zombie Master's number four favorite zombie movie.
Annnnnnnnnnnnd… Fade to Black!
Always know what ewe are doing, Never tell them to leave the meter running, Know when it is just sheer madness, and Remember Horror Never Dies!

Starburst QAL - Block Five
I am quite happy with the way my blocks have turned out especially when I consider that it almost broke my brain to make them!
Two options were given for the B blocks in this pattern (the outer corners) and I decided to go with the first option even though that block contains a very funky seam line. The first block I made I decided that I would cut that section away from the piecing pattern so I would have two sections to paper piece and then sew the two sections together. Well, it worked out okay but was a bit messy to figure out the alignment and then there was also the annoyance factor.
I just kept looking at the block trying to figure out a better way and after looking at the block for a while I finally got the 'aha' moment. I just needed to renumber the pattern and piece it in a different order. It was totally smooth sailing from there!
Little Bunny Quilts - pop on over to see other renditions of this wonderful star block. The paper piecing patterns are being offered free for a set time after which they will need to be purchased.

Build a Grocery List Program: Part 33:47 with Jason Seifer
Now that we know how to use arrays and hashes, we're going to build a small program that makes a grocery list for us. In this video, we'll modify our program to output our list for us.
Code Samples
At the end of the video, your code should look like this:
def create_list
print "What is the list name? "
name = gets.chomp
hash = { "name" => name, "items" => Array.new }
return hash
def add_list_item
print "What is the item called? "
item_name = gets.chomp
print "How much? "
quantity = gets.chomp.to_i
hash = { "name" => item_name, "quantity" => quantity }
return hash
def print_list(list)
puts "List: #{list['name']}"
puts "----"
list["items"].each do |item|
puts "Item: " + item['name']
puts "Quantity: " + item['quantity'].to_s
puts "---"
list = create_list()
puts list.inspect
puts list.inspect

Okay, so when we last left off, 0:00
we have added onto our shopping list after calling the add_list_item method. 0:02
And that put list items into an array of hashes. 0:08
So now that we have all of this done, let's go ahead and print out our list. 0:14
And we'll create a new method to do that. 0:20
So what I'm gonna do is click up in here and create a method called print_list. 0:24
And we'll pass in as an argument the list that we want to print. 0:31
So we know that our list has a name. 0:37
So let's go ahead and print that out as the first item here. 0:42
Now we do that by using string interpolation. 0:47
Now we know that the list name is a string. 0:51
And we access the value of that by calling list['name']. 0:54
Since it's a string, string interpolation will work just the same. 1:01
It's just like calling any other variable. 1:06
Now, let's go ahead and create a line. 1:10
That'll just be four dashes. 1:14
Now what we want to do is print out the items in the list. 1:16
Now we know that the list items is an array containing hashes. 1:21
What we can do is use a method called each. 1:27
We'll get into this method a little bit more in an upcoming course, 1:31
but for right now, we'll just follow along. 1:34
So we call the method each. 1:40
Now when we call the method each, we use this new piece of Ruby syntax called 1:42
a block, and then pass in an argument. 1:46
Blocks are written by typing either curly braces or the words do and end. 1:54
So what this is going to do is take each item in this array of list items and 2:01
assign it to a variable called item. 2:09
And now, we can print out the item name and the item quantity. 2:13
Now remember the list items array is an array of hashes. 2:20
So let's go ahead and 2:25
print out the item['name'] because we want to know what the name is of the item. 2:27
And we'll also print out quantity and the item's quantity. 2:34
And then we'll print out another separator. 2:43
Okay. 2:47
Now that we have this, let's go ahead and call print_list and 2:48
send in our shopping list. 2:52
Let's run this and see what happens. 2:56
The list name is Groceries, that item that we're adding is Milk, and 2:58
we're adding one thing of milk. 3:03
Oh, it looks like we have an error on line 26. 3:07
And the error is, no implicit conversion of fixnum into String. 3:13
So what we have to do is tell Ruby that we want this number to be a string. 3:19
And we use the to_s method to do that. 3:25
Let me clear my screen here. 3:27
And we'll run this again and see what happens. 3:30
Now we're going to add Milk and one thing of Milk. 3:34
And now here is our grocery list. 3:38
Alright, that looks good, but 3:42
we're going to clean this up a little bit more in the next video. 3:44

Israeli Researchers Take Conservative Approach to Defining anti-Semitism
Tel Aviv University researchers, who record 30 % rise in anti-Semitism after 2-year decline, take into consideration cultural context when classifying incidents as 'anti-Semitic.'
How should we distinguish between an anti-Semitic incident and a criminal act? How should we avoid classifying every harsh statement about Israel as anti-Semitism?
- Anti-Semitic Incidents Up by 30% Worldwide
- UK Jews Shocked by Harassment Verdict
- UK Academic Sues University College Union Over anti-Semitic Treatment
- Anshel Pfeffer / Battle Racists With Ideas
Every year on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day, Tel Aviv University's Kantor Center Database on Antisemitism and Racism publishes a report on anti-Semitism worldwide. According to the paper for 2012, the number of anti-Semitic incidents jumped 30 percent last year after two years of declines.
"We don't just count the incidents. We also take a deep look at the culture that gave birth to anti-Semitism," says Dina Porat, the head of the database.
She notes that "if you say 'dirty Jew' in Kiev, nobody will report that as an anti-Semitic incident. It's in the culture; it's an expression that has been used for centuries. But if you say 'dirty Jew' in Paris, that's bad."
According to Dr. Haim Fireberg, a statistics expert for the annual report, "The bottom line is that we'll err on the side of caution. If we're not sure if an incident is anti-Semitic, we won't count it as an incident.
"We could add a few more incidents to the 686 that occurred this year. If 10 apartments were burglarized the same night on a street with a high concentration of Jews, we still count that as a single incident, unlike the police report, which will count each burglary as a separate event."
Fireberg notes an incident in which a Jewish man was walking back from synagogue with his children in Britain. "A van sped up, went up on the sidewalk, drove toward them and at the last second swerved back onto the road," Fireberg says.
"On the one hand, one might say this was a one-time incident where someone lost control of the steering wheel – that anti-Semitism wasn't involved. On the other hand, we see that this type of incident repeats over and over." He files that case in the "threats" category.
According to Porat, "An incident must focus on a Jewish person or Jewish property to be considered anti-Semitic. If someone in Russia draws a swastika and writes 'dirty Jew' on street signs, we don't necessarily consider that an anti-Semitic incident. But we'll take it into account in analyzing the anti-Semitic atmosphere in the country."
Since 1989, when tabulations began, only 2009 produced a greater number of incidents than 2012. The first two and a half weeks of 2009 were marked by Israel's Operation Cast Lead in the Gaza Strip. "Our graph shows a link between current events and an increase in anti-Semitism, such as with Operation Cast Lead," Fireberg says.
But Porat notes that there isn't always such a link; for example, Israel's Operation Pillar of Defense in Gaza last November. "It hardly raised the graph at all. Anti-Semitism isn't a function of what Israel does or what happens in the Middle East. That's a superficial and unprofessional way of looking at the subject," she says.
"Economic, social, political and local factors are what matter. If there's a financial crisis in a certain country, the new groups that arise are usually ones on the radical right that slip into anti-Semitism."
There is no shortage of examples from the past year. The increasing preoccupation with circumcision of boys in Germany, attempts to ban ritual slaughter in the Netherlands or the wearing of skullcaps in France - should these be considered manifestations of anti-Semitism? Porat agrees that the situation is complex. "The real focus here is not the Jews, but Muslims, who are perceived as not integrating into society. But dealing with them leads to a renewed discussion on Jewish customs", she says.
The team also highlights the difference between anti-Israel sentiment and anti-Semitism. "This year, we noticed that it had nothing to do with the Middle East — these were truly expressions of anti-Semitism," Porat says.
"Let it be clear — the anti-Semites think we killed Jesus, that we control the global economy, that we're responsible for the financial crisis, and that we brought in the immigrants who are … taking away their pensions. It's directed against Jews as Jews and against Israel as a Jewish state. The match may be in Tel Aviv, but the kindling is located in Europe, among the extreme right.""
According to the report, France saw a big jump in anti-Semitic incidents. "A normal person would think that after the massacre in Toulouse, in which Mohammed Merah murdered three pupils and a teacher, the Muslim community would do some soul-searching, but the opposite is true," Fireberg says. "The terrorist became a model for emulation."
Q. Still, aren't you biased? As a center that's part of an Israeli and Jewish university and receives funding from Jews, can you be objective when it comes to counting incidents of anti-Semitism? You could easily be accused of being biased.
"Indeed, we are an Israeli and Jewish university, and that's why this report could be suspected of bias a priori. We are supposed to be suspicious, and we definitely are suspicious, so we make efforts that go above and beyond," says Porat.
"Sometimes we see reports from Jewish communities that inflate the numbers or use a method of counting that differs from ours. But we worked hard to arrive at the criteria we use," she adds.
"We work according to academic criteria in every way, with constant supervision by professors. Every report is sent back for another round of critique, reservations and supervision. The report is published according to the same standards as an academic essay — it is published only after it receives comments, critiques, responses, queries and editing," says Fireberg.
"Even if a particular community reported finding 12 swastikas in its area, since we insist on checking, we might sometimes find that only one was found there. We don't take any number at face value. We check again and again until the report is published."

Guillain-Barre Syndrome

Survivors' stories
As I began to experience return in my hands I was only able to move the four fingers together, independent movement would come much later.
Taking my thumb and moving it across the palm of my hand towards my pinky finger is something else I was initially unable to do. To build the strength back in my fingers and thumbs I was given putty and pieces of foam to provide resistances.
The process of building up my hand strength was frustratingly slow. For many months I ate and brushed my teeth only through the aid of my universal cuff which was velcro'd in my hand and had a slot to hold my fork/tooth brush.
The larger size of the tooth brush stretched out the cuff and made it difficult to eat meals because the fork kept slipping out. To solve this problem I simply got two cuffs and used each only for one purpose.
As my hand strength improved I began to be able to lose the cuff and use silverware with fat handles or by building up the handle. We used foam that was designed for such purposes but I am sure there are many was to accomplish this with items in your home.
Buttons and zippers were my next big challenge. With practice I was able to become proficient with a piece of adaptive equipment known as a button hook. There are numerous different varieties of them available. The one I liked best had a hook on the handle on the opposite end of the button hook that allowed me to hook and then operate my zippers.
Elastic waist bands in shorts and pants, bib overalls with big and easy to use fasteners, and pull over shirts allowed me to dress myself while making trips to the bathroom less frustrating.

Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh on Tuesday warned to take stern action against the perpetrators of political violence ahead of the Assembly elections sheduled early next year.
The Chief Minister's warning came a day after six persons were injured, most of them with pellet wounds, when workers of two rival political groups clashed during an election rally in the Yairipok Yambem area of Imphal East district on Monday.
Singh, who also holds the home portfolio, told the media that if anyone instigates any kind of violence or attacks any individual or organisation, the law enforcing agencies would take stern action against that person.
"Before the Assembly elections, every political party/group/individuals have their democratic right to undertake campaign maintaining the procedure and law. But none should vitiate the peaceful and democratic environment of the state," the Chief Minister said, condemning Monday's violent incident.
The six injured persons, including a woman, have been admitted to government hospitals, while the police have registered a case and launched a probe.
On Monday, one group of workers was led by former minister Shyamkumar, while the other was headed by a prospective candidate in the Andro Assembly constituency, Lourembam Sanjoy.
The elections to the 60-seat Manipur Assembly are expected to be held in February-March next year as the term of the state Assembly would end on March 19, 2022.
The ruling BJP has been running the government since 2017 with the support of the National People's Party (NPP) led by Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma and the Naga People's Front (NPF), which has organisational base both in Manipur and Nagaland.

Gallup, N.M., Nov 6, 2019 / 04:01 pm (CNA).- The Diocese of Gallup has chosen to stop using Zoom Video Communications for its internet meetings, citing the company's support of abortion rights.
Eric Yuan, the founder and CEO of Zoom, was among the 187 executives who signed a letter that appeared a full-page ad in the New York Times June 10 criticizing regulations on abortion passed by state legislatures.
"Due to the company's vocal support for abortion, the Diocese of Gallup has ceased all business with Zoom and will instead be seeking the use of an alternative platform for online meetings and presentations," read a letter sent to the diocese's schools and parishes.
The diocese's education office had been utilizing Zoom for several years.
While acknowledging that "our monthly transactions with Zoom were not large," the diocese said that "large or small, we cannot contribute to a company with anti-life policies."
"It is distressing that the CEOs who paid for the ad call abortion restrictions 'bad for business', as if the life of a human being can be measured solely in monetary and economic value. We wholeheartedly reject this view."
The Gallup diocese stated: "Each human, made in the image and likeness of God, is inherently worthy and has a right to life, from conception to natural death. We do not want to lose even a single future child, future student, future mother, father, sister or brother to abortion."
"In providing the highest-quality Catholic education to our students, we must also strive to follow Christ and the teachings of his Church. We cannot truly be Christlike if we cooperate with evil or provide monetary support – even in the smallest amount – to other companies and institutions who promote and foster abortion, euthanasia, or other anti-life actions," the diocese added.
The diocese has indicated that several Catholic companies and groups also use Zoom for video conferencing, and hopes that its decision may raise awareness of the company's stance on abortion.

Protease is a proteolytic enzyme. It is also known as Peptidase and Proteinase. This enzyme performs Proteolysis, which is the catabolism of protein. It catalyses the hydrolysis of peptide bonds to break down protein.
Protease is found in virtually all organisms. It is found in animals, plants, fungi, bacteria, archaea and even viruses. The enzyme evolved multiple times throughout history and there are different classes which perform the same reaction, but using differing methods. This can be done via two mechanisms, Aspartic or Serine.
What Does Protease Do?
The main role of Protease is in digestion. It not only digests food though. It also helps to digest cell walls of harmful organisms, cell debris, toxins and undigested proteins.
This means that Protease is important for overall health. By breaking down harmful materials it allows the immune system to deal with bigger risks.
Other Health Benefits Of Protease
Protease can be taken as a supplement. Although it is naturally produced in the body a supplement can support the enzymes' function. As it helps the immune system by taking care of harmful particles and organisms, it allows the immune system to focus on other dangers. Possible health benefits of a Protease supplement include:
- Reduce IBS;
- Help to repair skin damage;
- Improve circulation;
- Reduce inflammation;
- Pain relief;
- Prevent diarrhea;
- Reduce irritation;
- Control blood clotting;
- Help the recovery from sports injuries;
- Help the growth of beneficial gut bacteria.
Proteases have been used in medicine and in surgery. There is a lot of research into the uses of the enzyme. Some preparations have shown some apparent effectiveness in medical studies and some have even undergone successful clinical trials. However, there is not enough scientific evidence yet to completely confirm the health benefits.
Always ensure you consult a medical professional before taking any new supplements, especially if you are already taking other medication.

A little about me: I believe art and entertainment has enormous potential to provoke change, and reflect culture back on itself. I am proud and inspired by the actors and entertainers around me that have used their voices to create positive change in the world, and count myself lucky to work with them.
I think humor is an incredibly persuasive tool to bring people together. I like mine like I like my chocolate: dark with some chili powder.

A viral TikTok video making round has presented Dogecoin crypto with a boost as the digital asset price has surged almost 20 percent this week courtesy of the video. Urging viewers to invest at least $25 on the crypto, the video is aimed at pushing Dogecoin price to $1.
At the time of drafting this report, Dogecoin trades at $0.00276484 with the video posted five days ago by user jamezg97, and effectively described what seems to be a pump scheme has amassed 58,000 likes with 500,000 views as investors wait for Dogecoin price to hit $1.
Let's all get rich, clarion call to surging Dogecoin price
James tagged the viral video Let's all get rich and urged users not only to invest $25 but wait for the crypto value to move from $0.0023 to $1, after which they'd all have made a profit of $10,640.
"Let's all get rich!" he said. "Dogecoin is practically worthless. There are 800 million TikTok users once it hits $1, you'll have $10,000. Tell everyone you know!"
James's video, however, seems to be effective to an extent as though Dogecoin price push to the intended $1 is difficult, the price has surged to an extent, and Dogecoin ranking has come up hitting number 33 crypto by market cap.
Dogecoin and Elon Musk
Not any investors' favorite crypto although, the crypto, however, has managed to remain relevant and build its sustainable Reddit and Twitter community. The Litecoin based crypto was developed as a joke by American programmer Billy Markus and directly inspired by the doge meme.
The crypto's most famous supporter is Elon Musk, who vouched for the crypto last year in a tweet where he called it his "favorite crypto."

A joke pool was conducted on Twitter also by the crypto community, where Elon Musk was voted as the best person to be the CEO for the digital asset.

When Do-It-Yourself Property Management Becomes Too Much, What Options Do You Have?
Hear What One Property Owner Had to Say:
DIY Property Management all started with one rental property, the house John Hurst used to live in. What began as a side business with a goal of 2-3 properties to generate income for his kids' college education has evolved into six separate businesses with different partners and nearly 60 rental properties in Arkansas.
John managed his first few properties himself. "It just got to be too much between my real job, managing the properties, and my family," John says. "I got tired of all the little stuff that goes with DIY property management."
John turned to Real Property Management Central Arkansas, owned by Robby Jones. According to John, "They have demonstrated the professionalism and work ethic that has earned my complete trust. They are a tremendous asset for me and take care of everything start to finish."
"I had one of my properties managed by another company and it was a terrible experience. They just stuck a sign out front. They didn't have the tools or professionalism," John says. "It is totally different with Real Property Management. There is no one I know of that has the technical website, the advertising, the extensive background checks, and the systems and processes. It is a huge advantage for Real Property Management – nobody compares."
A native of Arkansas, John has been in the mortgage banking industry for 15+ years and his experience has been valuable in building his investment portfolio of rental properties. "Honestly, my businesses have grown because of Real Property Management. I don't have the patience and time to manage my properties, and I wouldn't
get the enjoyment out of it without Robby's team."
My Time is Worth More than DIY Property Management
Robby adds, "John totally trusts us to take care of everything to make
his life easier and keep his rental businesses profitable. He sends a lot of referrals to us, which is a true testament of our service."
John says, "For anyone looking for growth, they need to explore Real Property Management. When you get into the business, you don't realize all that goes into it and it catches up to you. The call on a Friday night to fix a light bulb, meeting a potential tenant at the house, filling out the rental app, getting a call on a Saturday afternoon… those things wear you out. My time is worth much more to me than painting and working on rentals. It has changed everything."
As you can see, John Hurst is completely satisfied with Real Property Management and the simplicity of managing his properties in Arkansas. You can experience the same satisfaction and professionalism with your rental property by contacting Citywide RPM in Atlanta.

'Foundation and Empire' is still really good – the Mule is a great character, and he has yet to be fully revealed. I cannot wait to get to the next book in the series. I wonder if anyone has ever tried to make use of psychohistory – seems like something that could work. If it did, that'd be pretty cool. After the Foundation novels, I'll either start the Robot novels or 'The Edge of Tomorrow'.
Hasker's 'The Emergent Self', is a great book – I'm right now reading about the unity of consciousness as an argument against the mind being a material thing – known in modern terms as the transcendental unity of apperception, or in normal words, it's an argument from the fact that consciousness is a single, unified experience.. Thanks for that really catchy phrase though, Kant. It's a solid argument, though.
I have a great edition of Lovecraft stories, entitled 'The Necronomicon', and it looks beautiful – and I saw at the bookstore that there's another volume, same format, of his non-Cthullu weird tales. I'd like to get that. I also saw a volume of his where the edge of the paper is black – so when the book is closed, instead of white, it's solid black. Really cool.
I'm writing notes for a blog post on 'meaning' which is trickier than you might suppose. Hopefully it will appear soon – 'meaning' is a difficult thing to work through.
On that note, I've started using a composition notebook for writing, notes, etc. I used to have a little legal pad, which has a lot of scribblings on it, which I may transcribe to this larger book. Or I may keep the legal pad next to my bed, because sometimes I have an idea, but really don't want to get out of bed, and end up forgetting by morning.
There is a great Twitter bible study going on:
http://alastairadversaria.wordpress.com/2014/04/20/twitter-bible-reading-group/ – for the schedule, see the post below.
I should have put this out earlier, but I forgot. It's definitely worth participating in, though – lots of good food for thought so far. Use the #luke2acts hastag if you want to contribute.

People with autism are, first and foremost, people. Yet they often face hurtful stereotypes and stigma. That's why one mother, Magenta Quinn, is speaking out after she received a letter last week from one of her neighbors complaining about her son who has autism. Quinn, who is based in Australia, shared a copy of the letter on Facebook, and it's pretty shocking. Fortunately, since then, she received an outpouring of support.
The letter begins: "When you moved in, we heard these strange moaning and shouting coming from your garden every day and night, for which we were concerned may be illegal activities, so we contacted the police who in turn have visited your premises. They informed us of your situation that a person in your family is suffering from a mental illness and that was the source of the noise."
"Whist I sympathize with your situation, is it is a very disturbing noise that comes from your garden continuously, every day, sometimes late into the night," the letter continues. "It is not fair on the community to have to bear this disturbance especially as it occurs daily." The letter then "kindly requests" that Quinn "try to limit the amount of time that is spent in the garden such that we do not have to listen to the disturbing noise daily and sometimes before 6 a.m." That request is followed up by a threat of contacting a lawyer if the noise doesn't stop.
"This morning I collected this letter from my mailbox and shared it in my local community page with the following text. I shared it to state 'this is not ok' and make a stand about bullying," Quinn wrote in her Facebook post. "I received an out pouring of love and compassion and am grateful for people who care.❣"
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a term used to refer to a group of conditions related to brain development previously thought to be separate, including autism and Asperger's syndrome, per the Mayo Clinic. Everyone with ASD has their own pattern of behaviors, but that might include having difficulty picking up on social cues, performing repetitive behaviors, or developing specific routines and rituals, the Mayo Clinic says.
Those repetitive behaviors (such as rocking or repeating words) are often called "stimming" and may help people with autism regulate and process the sensory information they're getting. Quinn says her son hums and yelps to soothe himself.

Girl Scout busts counterfeiter
Oregon Girl Scout spots "funny money" used by man purchasing cookies and alerts police...leading to the arrest of an accused counterfeiter now facing charges of first-degree forgery and third-degree theft. KGW's Katherine Cook reports.
SALEM, Ore. (KGW/NBC News) — Eagle-eyed Girl Scouts are being credited with busting an Oregon counterfeiter.
Two separate scout troops reported the man and the counterfeit money to police in mid-February, according to Lt. Debbie Aguilar of the Salem Police Department.
One of the incidents occurred on February 16 when Ava Brown, a 13-year-old scout, spotted the counterfeit money as she was selling cookies outside of Walmart.
"I kept looking at it and I was like, there's no way this is the same, this does not feel right," said Ava, who waited until the man left to alert her mom, who called Salem police.
"He was intimidating and I didn't want to say anything," said Ava. "I didn't know if he could be aggressive."
With assistance from Walmart security, police were able to scan surveillance video and identify the suspect. He was spotted returning to a store on Sunday, arrested and taken to jail.
Camden Ducharme, 36, faces charges of first-degree forgery and third-degree theft.

Romeo attempts to comfort Mercutio who dispatches his page to find a doctor. Romeo tries to encourage Mercutio but it is obvious he will die. Eventually Benvolio helps Mercution off the street and the two exit the scene. Romeo is by himself for a short time while he speaks about being angry with Tybalt, then Benvolio enters the scene again to let Romeo know Mercutio is dead. Tybalt comes back into the scene and Romeo challenges him to a fight. The two fight and Romeo kills Tybalt.
Benvolio tells Romeo to run away as several citizens have seen the fight and are upset. Romeo exits the scene. A short time later the Prince, both Lord Montague and Lord Capulet, and several citizens enter the scene. Benvolio tells the prince what happens. The Prince, instead of sentencing Romeo to death, instead decided to banish him and fine both families. Everyone exits the scene.
Scene 2
Scene 4 takes place in Capulet's Orchard. Juliet enters the scene worrying about the fact that Romeo has yet to arrive. The Nurse enters the scene and tells Juliet of Tybalt's death.

At twenty years of age he was made master of a vessel engaged in the coasting trade, and later became an owner and master of packets. At the age of fifty he retired from the sea and spent the remainder of his life in Mystic, where he had erected a house about 1800. This house is still standing and in the possession of his descendants.
Captain Haley served at the defense of Stonington in the War of 1812, and was most active in protecting that town from the British invasion, for which service his widow received a government pension.

UltraDefrag Review
Last Updated: 2019-07-03 09:37:46
Most computer users are familiar with the term disk defragmentation. At least, I hope they do, for the sake of computers everywhere. Defragmentation is incredibly important for computers, as the simple act of using it will quickly fragment the files, scattering them all over the drive and forcing your computer to sprint all over the place to recover those files. Obviously, this slows it down, so constant defragmentation is incredibly important if you want your computer to run at tip-top speeds. UltraDefrag is a fantastic free choice.
Booting UltraDefrag up will show that it has an incredibly simple interface. New users will probably be confused about the grid in the bottom half of the interface, but experienced users will recognize the familiar sight. Clicking analyze will show you the results in that giant cluster map down below. Clicking on Defragment took a really long time, and at the end of it, Windows utility still said that I needed to defragment my disk. That was strange, so I clicked Optimize as well. At the end of that lengthy process, Windows finally agreed that our disk was defragmented.
Note that while I said a lengthy time, it still was faster than most other defragmentation software that I tested before. If any of the above confused you, then I recommend looking at the Help file. Other than the simple interface, there's little stopping me from recommending UltraDefrag. It's quick, free, and lightweight - a fantastic combination for any optimization programs out there. If you need to defrag, give this a download!

For weeks now, President Donald Trump has had his mind fixated on the U.S.-Mexico border wall. He's made it clear that he won't budge until he gets the wall funded—despite the fact that the government shutdown is on track to be the longest in U.S. history. But then, out of nowhere, he changed the subject to a completely unrelated branch of immigration: the H-1B visa program.
"H1-B holders in the United States can rest assured that changes are soon coming which will bring both simplicity and certainty to your stay, including a potential path to citizenship," Trump tweeted Friday morning. "We want to encourage talented and highly skilled people to pursue career options in the U.S."

It's unclear why the president is suddenly interested in the H-1B program again. Nor is it clear what he actually meant by his tweet.
"My coworkers and I have been scratching our heads all morning over the same question: What was he talking about?" said Michael Nowlan, a lawyer representing H1-B petitioners and a co-leader of the Immigration Business Unit at international law firm Clark Hill PLC.
The H-1B visa program, under the Immigration and Nationality Act, allows U.S. employers to hire foreign workers with a bachelor's or higher degree for jobs matching their fields of study for up to six years. Every year, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issues a maximum number of 65,000 such visas, plus an additional 20,000 slots exclusively to applicants with a master's or higher degree.
To eligible foreign workers and their employers, a main issue with the H-1B program right now is the fact that the number of applicants has routinely exceeded the total 85,000 cap allowed by the USCIS for years.
For now, whose application gets to be processed relies entirely on a random "lottery system," regardless of the applicants' qualifications. Applicants with an advanced degree (master's or higher) have a slightly better chance than those with a bachelor's degree. Under the current process, the advanced pool (with degrees from a U.S. college or university) would first compete for the 20,000 advanced degree-only slots. Those who aren't selected would then go into the second round with everyone else for the 65,000 slots.
Nowlan said that what Trump meant by "simplicity and certainty" could be upcoming changes to the "lottery system," which will give advanced degree holders an even higher chance of getting the visa.
Last month, the Trump administration proposed an H-1B rule change to essentially reverse the "lottery" process: All applicants will compete for the general 65,000 slots first, and then, any advanced degree holders who aren't selected will compete for the remaining 20,000 visas.
According to the USCIS's calculation, the change will boost the number of H-1B recipients with an advanced degree by 16 percent.
To implement such a rule change, the president won't need to go through Congress, Nowlan said.
However, as for the "potential path to citizenship" Trump teased on Friday, "there's nothing out there that I'm aware of that can likely get passed to change the path from an H-1B visa to citizenship," Nowlan told Observer, noting that any changes to the citizenship application process would be subject to a congressional voting.
"I don't see any comprehensive immigration reforms coming in 2019," he added. "We can't even agree on these funding priorities [on the border wall]. Things are just too cantankerous right now."
Under current immigration law, H-1B holders have the option to apply for a green card to obtain permanent residency before their work visa expires. Then, there is a minimum five-year wait period before they can apply for citizenship.
H-1B holders are subject to the same taxation laws as U.S. citizens.

Two devices listed for the same rog2. Find my device
Global 12/512gb rog phone 2. Republic of gamers edition. Not rooted. Just Re-installed the raw firmware package and got the latest fota shortly afterwards. I've had 2 listing for the exact same rog 2 on the "find my device" app. Sketches me out because I'm worried it means my device has been cloned. My neighbor is super sketch so that just adds to it. Why would this happen? Do I have any reason to worry or am I just being paranoid. Here's a screenshot of the two listings. Anyone who who can tell me what's going on is greatly appreciated. And yes I'm the one who named the device listing in question RoGmOtHeRf*cKiNGpHoNe😂🤔
What did you mean by "reinstalled the firmware package"?
If you have reflashed/restore to factory settings/logged out from Google on your device and relogged in, that counts as a new session on Google.
So what you are seeing in your screenshot is probably the previous session and the other one is the current session of yours.
Unless you are telling me the right screenshot, you didnt name your phone like that then I dont know. Probably worth changing your password to be on the safe side.0
I Re-installed by flashing the 17.0240.2012.65 raw firmware package.0
Yeah, it's treating it as a new session to your Google account. So, no worries there :)0
I log on to my Google account today and see this under devices. "Both" devices are listed despite the fact that I've changed my password 5 times and done a raw firmware re-install since my rog 2 was named "RoGmOtHeRfUcKiNGpHoNe" and it's showing up under my devices. Might I add this is the very first time I have ever seen it listed in my Google account. Just the find my device app0
Press on the 3 dots and log out.0
I did exactly that and about a week ago the device named RoGmOtHeRfUcKiNgPhOnE was back on my Google account. Listed as a asus rog phone 2. I don't know much actually I don't know anything about phone cloning but would that happen if someone did that? Because it's really starting to appear that way0

5 Mistakes to Avoid if Arrested for Drugs in southern Illinois
If you get arrested in southern Illinois, and you are charged with drug crimes, you are looking at serious prison time. There's no way around it, despite the fact that northern parts of the state have latched on to bail reform and may not be aggressively prosecuting drugs the way they used to, this trend has not really reached the lower parts of the state. Instead, some judges in rural parts of Illinois will still levy lengthy prison sentences, even for simple possession. Plus, the type of drug you are caught with can make all the difference in how long you are sentenced if convicted. There is no substitute for a competent, experienced, and aggressive defense attorney on your side. Still, there are 5 major mistakes you can avoid if you get arrested for drugs. Here they are.
#1 Answering the police
Everyone seems to want to "explain" their way out of trouble. This is the dumbest thing you can do. Hands down, this is the worst possible idea. While you may very well be a smart, savvy and even clever person, unless you truly understand the law, the volumes of court decisions interpreting the law, and understand how the law is applied in court on a daily basis, you are probably going to misunderstand what is important. Defendants frequently focus on explaining how they are innocent, only to find out later that in doing so, they admitted several other crimes. I provide an example below. Just don't do it.
#2 Talking about your case by phone
If you are sitting in custody (or, if you are on the outside and a loved one is in jail), do NOT talk about the case by phone or during visits to the jail. The prosecutors in that county have the right to listen to all phone calls and jail visits. These are recorded and almost always are used against defendants later. Talk about the kids, talk about what you will do when you get home, talk about hiring a lawyer to represent you. DO NOT talk about what happened.
#3 Messaging / chirping from jail
County jails use various jail messaging apps and services. Some are known as "Chirps" and others may be jailmail. But whatever the system or company, they all have a specific purpose, and it is not to bring inmates closer to loved ones. Do you really think the police care if inmates get to talk to their families? No, these are designed to capture written communications that otherwise the police would never get. And they work. Thousands of southern Illinois detainees are convicted every year just because they typed admissions in their messages. Just don't do it.
#4 Accepting deals too early
It is tempting to take a quick deal to get out of jail. No doubt, most people are faced with the challenge of possibly spending weeks in jail waiting for a court appearance, while sitting on bond they can't post. It can be very tempting to plead guilty and walk out the door. But like everything in life, there's a catch. You have then waived all of these rights:
- Right to trial
- Right to jury
- Right to an attorney
- Right to confront accusers
- Right to make the state prove their case
Instead, you are now legally guilty no matter what. And when you return to be sentenced, you are often at the mercy of a judge. You have lost all leverage. And if you miss your sentencing, you could face an additional charge for failing to appear. If you are sentenced and don't show up to turn yourself in, you can even have years added to your sentence for "escape."
#5 Representing yourself
There are ethical rules that do not allow the prosecutor to let you take the state's evidence with you. An attorney, however, can receive copies and review them with you. This is just one major advantage of working with an experienced defense lawyer. Plus, if you have an attorney, that attorney's comments cannot be used as confessions. In other words, the attorney can have all the hypothetical conversations with the prosecutor as he wants, and none of that is admissible at trial. After all, negotiations are not admissible in front of the jury. But if the defendant admits something during discussions, that can indeed be used, as well as anything new discovered from that conversation. It's NEVER a good choice to be your own lawyer. Even lawyers hire other lawyers when they are arrested – why do you think that is?
Hiring Crossroad Legal
Ultimately, life raw deals all the time. Maybe you got pulled over in a car with someone, and they had methamphetamine or cocaine on them. A meth possession charge can mean upwards of 5 years in prison (10 if you've had prior Class 3 felonies or higher). Maybe you were visiting a friend and their house got raided by police. You got arrested by association. Perhaps you were pulled over for an invalid or unlawful reason, or the police had no consent or warrant, but searched you without probable cause. These things can and do happen a lot. As a former public defender and experienced trial lawyer with a decade of experience representing clients throughout Illinois, our attorney will aggressively pursue justice and fight to get you the best result possible under the circumstances.
Our fees are reasonable, and we generally handle these cases on a flat fee basis, which means no nickel and dime BS. You aren't getting penalized or billed every time you call us. You pay one fee, and let us do the rest. Fees can be very reasonable, and we even accept credit cards and online payments. If you've posted bond, we may be able to work on a bond assignment.

"Can you spell efficiency?"
"Sure. E-f-f-i-c-i-e-n-c-y."
"What is it?"
Efficiency isn't as clearly understood as many people would like to think. Part of the problem is that there are several ways to define it, and a person's definition often reflects his or her unique perspective on oven and furnace operations. Maybe it's time for us to get onto the same page.
I'll begin by defining overall thermal efficiency. As used by the process heating industry, it's a percentage, figured by dividing the thermal energy put into the product by the total thermal energy expended by the process. So, if an oven heats 5,000 lb per hour of a product, and each pound absorbs 100 BTU, total heat-into-product is 500,000 BTU/hr. If the oven consumes 1 million BTU/hr to do the job, its thermal efficiency is 50%.
Pretty straightforward. The confusion arises when you introduce the term combustion efficiency, because there's disagreement about what it means. To some people, it's the overall thermal efficiency of any process heated by combustion. To others, myself included, it means available heat. As I mentioned in a long-ago column (September 1997, p. 19 [not currently available online]), available heat has a few definitions of its own, but the closest one defines it as the portion of the total heat input that actually stays in the oven or dryer. In other words, it's the total heat input minus exhaust losses.
For some industries producing commodities under tight price constraints, efficiency is defined as the amount or cost of energy per unit of finished product. They know how much energy cost each pound or piece can carry into the marketplace and still produce the desired profit margin.
This can lead to some confusing situations -- in one plant I visited, the production manager and owner had an ongoing argument about the efficiency of the gas heating equipment. The owner complained that energy efficiency was down and fuel costs were up. The production manager said that couldn't be -- they were operating at reduced capacity and everything was properly tuned up, so how could they possibly be using too much gas?
Actually, they were both right, but they were using different yardsticks. Overall gas consumption had decreased with production rates, but not as sharply, so the line's per-pound consumption had gone up. This is a common characteristic of industrial heat processing equipment -- look at the figure to see why.
This figure plots energy consumption per unit of production vs. production rate. There are curves for the product and what I'll call fixed and variable losses. In addition, there's a total consumption curve, the sum of the first three.
First, the product -- as long as it enters and leaves the process at the same temperatures all the time, its heat consumption, per unit, stays constant.
Fixed losses, which include heat conducted out through the walls, carried outside by the conveyor, stored in the structure, and radiated out openings, remain constant as long as the oven runs at the same temperature and speed. As production rate increases, then, energy per unit decreases steadily. The same amount of energy is being spread over more and more production. This will hold true up to the design capacity of the oven.
By contrast, variable (exhaust) losses slowly increase as the process is cranked up to higher capacities. This happens mainly because the heating gases have a shorter residence time in the oven and are forced to exit at higher temperatures. Add heat to the load to the fixed and variable losses, and the sum, total energy per unit of production, decreases with a climb in production rate.
This trend continues until you reach the design capacity of the system, which is its most efficient operating point on a BTU/lb basis. Move beyond rated capacity, however, and the curve begins to reverse direction. Energy content per unit of production stays the same, but the decline in fixed losses begins to taper off and may eventually increase. Variable losses turn sharply upward once you pass the rated maximum capacity.
Why? Because the only way to push an oven, dryer or furnace beyond its rating is to move the product through it faster. Now, with less time to get the required heat into the product, you have to increase the operating temperature. Wall, conveyor, radiation and exhaust gas losses, along with heat storage, all increase, and of course, so does the total.
What are the lessons from all this? First, to avoid miscommunication within your organization and with your customers and suppliers, agree on your definition of efficiency. Second, if you're tracking energy consumption per unit of production, the heating equipment's most efficient operating point falls at its design rated capacity. The farther production rate deviates from this point, in either direction, the less efficient the equipment becomes.
