Honda announces exit from F1 after 2021 season
Sad news, racing fans
PHOTO: Mark Thompson/Getty Images via Red Bull Content Pool
Sad news for Formula 1 fans today—specifically, Honda fans. Just when you thought the Japanese carmaker would finally see more racing success after its big win with Red Bull Racing last year, it has now announced that it will no longer continue as a power unit supplier past the 2021 F1 season.
"Honda will work together with Red Bull Racing and Scuderia AlphaTauri to continue competing with its utmost effort and strive for more victories all the way to the end of the 2021 season," the company said in a statement.
Honda's decision was reportedly made due to the "once-in-one-hundred-years period of great transformation" that the global automotive industry is currently facing, and that it will prioritize striving for the "realization of carbon neutrality by 2050." It said that it leaves the championship having been able to attain its ultimate goal of earning victories.
Red Bull boss Christian Horner said he respected Honda's decision. "We look forward to embarking on a new era of innovation, development, and success," he said. "As a group, we will now take the time afforded to us to further evaluate and find the most competitive power unit solution for 2022 and beyond."
Honda last pulled out of Formula 1 at the end of the 2008 season, then returned to the championship in 2015 with McLaren. It eventually teamed up with Toro Rosso in 2018 before it took on the Red Bull Racing team the following year. The aforementioned win from 2019 was Honda's first since 2006. To date, it has earned five race victories in total with Red Bull.
After Honda's exit, Formula 1 will be left with three main power unit suppliers: Mercedes, Ferrari, and Renault. As Renault has the fewest customers across the championship at the moment, it will have to supply Red Bull and AlphaTauri with engines under the current rules unless the other companies decide to supply the two teams themselves.

Episode 23 – H.P. Lovecraft's "At the Mountains of Madness and Other Tales of Terror" with special guest Bob Brinkman
Hoi and Jeff discuss H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness & Other Tales of Terror with special guest Bob "The Voice" Brinkman!
Given H.P. Lovecraft's omnipresence today, it's easy to forget that he had largely faded out of reading public's mind within a few years of his death in 1937. August Derleth and Donald Wandrei did their best to keep Lovecraft in print by founding the small press Arkham House in 1939, but the publishing house's output for its first 20 years was mostly limited to high quality hardcovers in short print runs.
Arkham House was often on tenuous financial footing from its very founding, but the snowballing revival of interest in Lovecraft's Weird Tales compatriot Robert E. Howard in the 1960s seems to have also raised Lovecraft's visibility. Arkham House seized the opportunity by releasing three newly re-edited omnibus volumes of Lovecraft's fiction, The Dunwich Horror & Others (1963, revised 1985), At the Mountains of Madness & Other Novels (1964, revised 1986), and Dagon & Other Macabre Tales (1965, revised 1986) and then licensing the stories for paperback publication.
At the Mountains of Madness & Other Tales of Terror (Beagle/Ballantine Books, 1971) was a slimmed-down version of the Arkham House hardcover and featured the novel At the Mountains of Madness and the short stories "The Shunned House", "Dreams in the Witch-House", and "The Statement of Randolph Carter".
The stark and surreal cover painting of Brown Jenkin from the 1973-1974 Ballantine printings is by British artist John Holmes (not *that* John Holmes by the way, nor Dungeons & Dragons Basic Set author John Eric Holmes either, although the latter did write about Cthulhu/Lovecraft in Dragon magazine issues # 12 & # 16):
Gary Gygax didn't include any monsters drawn directly from Lovecraft's stories in Dungeons & Dragons, but the yellow mold that first appeared in the original Dungeons & Dragons rules would have been right at home in the cellar of "The Shunned House", as would the various other jellies, molds, oozes, puddings, and slimes. The undeniably Lovecraftian mind flayers made their first appearance a couple of years later in Eldritch Wizardry (1976) and are now iconic D&D monsters.
James M. Ward and Robert J. Kuntz included a Cthulhu Mythos chapter in Deities & Demigods (1980). The Elder Things and Shoggoths from At the Mountains of Madness received full write-ups as well as magnificently ooky Erol Otus illustrations. Although TSR believed that Lovecraft's fiction was in the public domain, their West Coast rivals Chaosium had secured a license from Arkham House to produce games based on the Cthulhu Mythos. This combined with Chaosium's license from Michael Moorcock to publish an Elric of Melniboné RPG lead TSR to remove the Cthulhu Mythos and Melnibonéan sections from the third printing onwards of Deities & Demigods. As a result, the first two printings of Deities & Demigods are now highly sought after collector's items.
Reading Resources:
Virtually all of H.P. Lovecraft's writings published in his lifetime are in the public domain. Probably the best online repository of his work can be found here:
http://freeread.com.au/@RGLibrary/HPLovecraft/HPLovecraft.html
Having said that, the current Penguin Classics trade paperback collections are worth looking at since they feature all of Lovecraft's solo fiction in corrected manuscripts, as well as introductions and very informative notes by leading Lovecraft scholar S.T. Joshi:
The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories (1999)
This collection includes "The Statement of Randolph Carter" and is available here:
The Call of Cthulhu and Other Weird Stories (Penguin Classics) (trade paperback/Kindle ebook)
The Thing on the Doorstep and Other Weird Stories (2001)
At the Mountains of Madness can be found in this volume, which is available here:
The Thing on the Doorstep and Other Weird Stories (Penguin Classics) (trade paperback)
The Thing on the Doorstep and Other Weird Stories (Kindle Edition) (Kindle ebook)
The Dreams in the Witch House and Other Weird Stories (2004)
"The Shunned House" and "The Dreams in the Witch House" are both found in this collection, available here:
The Dreams in the Witch House and Other Weird Stories (Penguin Classics) (trade paperback/Kindle ebook)
You could also consider either of the following two options if you want Lovecraft's complete solo fiction in a handsome one-volume hardcover:
The Complete Fiction of H.P. Lovecraft (Knickerbocker Classics) (hardcover)
H.P. Lovecraft: The Complete Fiction (Barnes & Noble Collectible Editions) (hardcover)
Gaming Resources:
Call of Cthulhu remains the gold standard of Lovecraftian and indeed mystery and horror gaming. A free PDF version of the Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition Quick-Start Rules can be found here and more information about the game line can be found here.
Beyond the Mountains of Madness is an epic CoC campaign following up on At the Mountains of Madness (RPGNow affiliate link)
Christmas in Kingsport includes Bob Brinkman's CoC scenario "Silent Night" (RPGNow affiliate link)
Halloween Horror Returns! includes Bob Brinkman's CoC scenario "Hope" (RPGNow affiliate link)
Bonus Art Gallery!:
The landscapes and structures in At the Mountains of Madness are likened several "the strange Asian paintings of Nicholas Roerich", many of which can be found in the Nicholas Roerich Museum in New York City:
Howard V. Brown's cover painting for the February 1936 issue of Astounding Stories is the first known illustration of a shoggoth:
And last but not least, Virgil Finlay's illustration for "The Shunned House" in the October 1937 issue of Weird Tales is a minor masterpiece:

How do I refill the spice grinder bottles?
In the manufacturing of the spice grinder bottles, we tighten the grinder caps on the bottles fairly tight. To remove the grinder cap, you might need to use a pair of pliers, shown as an example in figures 1 & 2, below.
Adjust the pliers to the opening setting appropriate size for the base of the spice grinder top.
Place the pliers around the base of the grinder top, next to the top of the label.
Carefully grip the plastic base of the grinder cap and twist counter-clockwise.
Remove the safety seal from the bulk refill bottle "Flavor Tanker" and remove the lid.
Use the complimentary Grate Grinds funnel you received with your bulk refill bottle and place it in the spice bottle with one hand and pour the spice mixture from the bulk refill bottle into the spice bottle.
Replace the spice grinder cap into the spice bottle and tighten gently with the pliers you used to remove the cap.
You are ready to go, again!
Thanks for purchasing Grate Grinds products.

COVID-19 impact: Bike sales on a roll as cooped-up riders look to hit the road
Samantha Raudins The Columbus Dispatch
Bikes are selling faster than Dandy Bikes on North High Street can build them, owner Gary Stivers said.
"We had one boy sit here 45 minutes waiting on us to finish one, and then when we got it done, he said, 'I'll take it,'" Stivers said. "Had a guy yesterday, walked in, he said, 'You got a mountain bike?' and I was having to finish up a big 29-inch mountain bike we got from the Goodwill, and he looked at it, said 'I'll take it.' Never rode, (did) anything else, just paid for it and took it."
The Clintonville shop has about 10 bikes for sale some new, some refurbished; it usually keeps nearly twice that number on the floor.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, bike shops nationwide are struggling to stock new bikes shipped from abroad, and U.S. bicycle sales are experiencing their biggest spike since the oil crisis of the 1970s, experts say.
Stivers said five new 2020-model bikes that arrived last week took two months to reach his shop.
There also is a big demand for repair work, he said, with people digging out bikes that haven't been ridden in years or finding ones in thrift shops. He has about 20 bikes in the shop for repairs.
And these days, people seem desperate for repairs, no matter the cost: Stivers said one person paid $317 to have everything on a bike replaced.
"It was an all-American-made Raleigh, and I told him when he said it, I said, 'Well, I want a deposit' because a lot of people do that, and I never see them again," Stivers said. "He gave me $200, he says, 'I want my bike fixed.'"
The roll: bicycle company, which operates four stores in the Columbus area and manufactures its own brand of custom bikes, initially planned to cut its staff and other operating costs when the pandemic struck. Now, the company is adding jobs as it tries to keep up with demand, with the number of imported bikes down by 30% this year because of the pandemic, said Ryan Hughes, its chief operating officer.
"As it started to play out over the end of March, it became pretty clear that bikes were becoming the new toilet paper," Hughes said.
The company eventually decided to keep the bikes it made and stock its shops with them rather than distribute them to its 80 nationwide retailers because the shops were running out of competing brands, Hughes said.
Hughes said bikes costing less than $1,000 are scarce, and lower-priced, entry-level models are the hottest sellers. The next 30 children's bikes that make it to the floor will be gone in a week, he said.
For example, Hughes was at a roll Bexley store when a customer brought in a children's bike to "upcycle,'' or break down for reuse, and another customer asked to buy the bike.
"They were just champing at the bit to buy that bike," Hughes said. "And that part actually got a little bit constrained because there are people who are looking to come back and trade their bikes, but there's nothing to trade their bikes in for."
Hughes said that the spike in demand has been almost too good.
"Just in the past week or so have we started to see our overall sales numbers decline ... directly attributed to, we have nothing to sell," he said.

In the special, Ansari headlines the iconic Madison Square Garden and delivers his most hilarious and insightful stand-up yet. Filmed in front of a sold-out audience, Ansari's latest special is an uproarious document of the comic in top form – covering topics ranging from the struggle of American immigrants to the food industry to relationships to gender inequality.
Live At Madison Square Garden joins Ansari's first acclaimed Netflix original stand-up special, Buried Alive, which is currently streaming on Netflix around the world. Ansari's previous stand-up specials, Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening and Dangerously Delicious, are also available for streaming on Netflix in the U.S., Canada, UK, Ireland and the Nordics.
While a popular stand-up comic, Aziz is best known for his role as Tom Haverford on the NBC hit series 'Parks and Recreation'. He also voices the character Darryl on FOX's animated series 'Bob's Burgers'.


In a bid to cut harmful emissions in the capital, the Mayor of London and Transport for London (TfL) have suggested that a workplace parking levy may be on it's way, reports FleetNews.
Many businesses are unintentionally breaking the law, because they are unaware of their legal obligations, especially with regards to grey fleet management, says Fleet News in this informative article.
Completing comprehensive pre-use checks 'could and would' save lives and should form a vital part of any fleet management system. A checklist from Goog to Go Safety encourages regular pre-drive safety checks to be carried out in line with best practice guidelines by ROSPA and the DfT (Department for Transport).
A shortage of spare parts in South Africa has led to many police vehicles being taken off the roads. It's now said that officers are using their own vehicles. Left without roadworthy vehicles after the Pretoria High Court cancelled a 1.96 billion rand (£108m) contract to supply spare parts to the service, officers are being forced to use their own cars for police work. The duty of care and health and safety issues raised by this approach make us shudder!

Since 2006, Operation PAL supporters have sent cards and letters to more than 150 recovering warriors. We've made it our goal to cross the 100,000 card and letter threshold by September 1 of this year, and time is running out.
So far, we've sent 98,167. That means we have less than a month to reach our goal, so we need your help!
As many of you are probably aware, for the last few months we were running a fundraising campaign to raise $12,000 by August 1 to to assist our Warrior Support Team (WST) in continuing serving dinners to recovering warriors at military medical centers on both coasts.
While we didn't quite reach the $12,000 goal, your generous donations brought in more than $10,400 for the program, which is hugely beneficial and will have a very significant impact on the WST's ability to continue serving these dinners.
If anyone is still interested in assisting this program, you can become a monthly sponsor for the dinners for $22 a month. You can commit to sponsor dinners for three months, six months, nine months, or one year at a time, or you can sign up for an ongoing donation that will continue for as long as you'd like.
Each month you donate, your name will be placed on a donor list presented at each dinner that month at both locations (Walter Reed National Military Medical Center or Naval Medical Center San Diego).

Four Marine Corps CH-46E Sea Knight helicopters, foreground, and six AH-1 Sea Cobra helicopters sit on the flight line at Landing Zone 32 Site Alpha during Operation Desert Shield, January 1991.
Twenty-five years ago this week, on August 7, 1990, President George H.W. Bush ordered U.S. military troops and aircraft to Saudi Arabia as part of a multinational force to defend that nation against possible Iraqi invasion. The following week, the Marine Corps announced that it had committed 45,000 Marines to the Persian Gulf area as a part of Operation Desert Shield, which would become the largest deployment of U.S. forces since the Vietnam War.
Last Wednesday, July 29, 2015, the United States Senate confirmed Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford's nomination as the next chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCOS).
Dunford has been in the Corps for almost four decades, having received his commission in 1977 following his graduation from St. Michael's College in Colchester, Vermont. He will take over his role as chariman of the JCOS in September following the retirement of the current chairman, Army Gen. Martin Dempsey.

De and her bulldog, Bella.
This week's TMP featured participant is the proud Marine mother of a Recon Marine and Marine veteran herself-- De Fringer.
De is running for Team Marine Parents in this year's Marine Corps Marathon to raise money for the Warrior Support Team as a way to give back to those who have sacrificed so much on our behalf.
In addition to running in support of Warrior Support Team, De is running for several reasons that are personal to her. De's parents were laid to rest in Arlington, and she says that, "...it will be an honor to have the opportunity to participate in this event, running by these sacred grounds."
De is still working hard toward her goal of raising $500, but with your support and generosity we know she can get there in no time!
Thanks for being a part of the team, De, and good luck in October!

A popular sports philosophy is to "respect everybody but fear nobody." "We'll respect everyone, but fear no one" was said by a football coach in 1949. "Respect everybody but fear nobody" was said by a basketball coach in 1968.
"We respect everybody, but fear none" was said by Pittsburgh Pirates baseball player Willie Stargell (1940-2001) in 1976. "We respect everybody but fear nobody" was another Stargell quote in 1978. The saying has been popular in many sports, such as baseball, football, basketball and tennis.
"We'll respect everyone, but fear no one," Carroll C. Widdoes, recently-named head football coach at Ohio University, told 33 Canton district male alumni at a buffet dinner meeting Thursday night in the Onesto Hotel.
Slugger Willie Stargell is sounding a new battle cry for the Pittsburgh Pirates in their bid to overtake the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League's Eastern Division race.
"This shows that we respect everybody but we fear nobody," forward Scott Glover said.
"I respect everybody, but I don't fear anybody," he (Cleveland Cavaliers basketball player Winston Bennett—ed.) said.
Although the cream of the tennis world was gathered in Houston, Federer no longer feared any of his rivals. 'I respect everybody but fear nobody,' was his stated philosophy.

Q: Most recent post from another database I am trying to add the most recent post from another Wordpress database (on the same server in all actuality), but am getting the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method wpdb::query_posts() in /var/www/site/wp-content/themes/custom/footer.php on line 68
Here is the code:

<?php
$originaldb = new wpdb('username', 'password', 'db', 'localhost');
$originaldb->query_posts( 'posts_per_page=1' );
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

            <?php echo ''.get_the_date('j').'
'.get_the_date('M').''; ?>

<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title() ?>

            <?php echo '' . the_author() . ''; ?>

        <?php the_excerpt(); ?>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>
Testing has failed
<?php endif; ?>

A: The Wordpress wpdb class is a little different than the normal way of querying in that you run "vanilla" database queries.
You can see documentation on the wpdb class on the Wordpress docs: http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/wpdb#Run_Any_Query_on_the_Database
Also, in regard to your code, you should be able to change the line here:
$originaldb->query_posts( 'posts_per_page=1' );

To something like this:
$results = $originaldb->get_results( "SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts LIMIT 1" );

This will provide you with an array of posts that you can then process with a loop:
if($results):
  foreach($results as $post): setup_postdata($post);
    // do stuff with normal wp template tags
  endforeach;
else:
  // no posts
endif;

A: function get_other_posts() {
    $wpdb_old = wp_clone( $GLOBALS['wpdb'] );
    $wpdb_new = &$GLOBALS['wpdb'];

    // All you have to care about following two lines
    $wpdb_new = new wpdb( 'your_db_username', 'db_password', 'new_db_name', 'localhost' );
    $wpdb_new->set_prefix( 'wp_' );

    // Now whatever function you'll call, it will use new database
    $posts = get_posts( 'numberposts=5' );

    // We are done so lets take the old wpdb back on its position
    $wpdb_new = $wpdb_old;
}

Street Rodder Paint & Body
1932 Ford Street Rod – Bob Top Installation – Finishing Touches
Written by wpengine on March 19, 2007
Our Unfinished Street Rod Receives Its Last Touch
This will be the final installment in our series discussing purchasing an unfinished street rod-updating it, modifying it, and finishing it to your (our) desires. The goal was to do this for less than the cost of building from scratch, purchasing a finished street rod, or hiring a professional rod shop to build your dream car.
Our past efforts included updating the dashboard with a machine-turned, stainless steel dash panel, updating the engine with a few cosmetic changes-including installing a set of Sanderson Limefire headers-and finally, installing an EZ Boy Rod Interiors interior kit.
We will discuss the finishing touches-the touches that add personality to a street rod; the touches that separate your street rod from someone else's street rod; and a few other touches that just make good sense: paint, hood, top, mirrors, and weather stripping, to name a few.
Since paint is a major step in any street rod buildup, and the finishing process has been covered many times over the years in the pages of SRM, as well as on www.streetrodderweb.com, we chose to limit the paint process in this manuscript. Besides, we did a down-and-dirty black suede number.
Before we did the interior installation and the engine updates, we popped the body off, did a quick block sand, tacked the parts off, wiped the parts down, and coated the body, hood, grille shell, and headlight buckets in PPG DP90 flat black epoxy primer. We applied three coats, adding an additional 25 percent of reducer to the final coat for a bit more sheen to the finish coat-the counter guy at the local PPG paint retailer tipped us off to that trick. Remember, the plan was a traditional hot rod and a daily driver. Black suede is about as traditional as it gets. In addition, black suede is easy to apply, takes less body preparation, and is very economical. If your desire is a more finished look, a shiny finish, or maybe flames-go for it; it's your dream car.
We decided a hood top would add a more finished look to our highboy, and if we preferred to run without the hood, it could easily be removed. The car came with an unfinished, Speedway Motors fiberglass hood top. Our task was to trim the hood top to fit and figure out a method to mount the hood. Before trimming and fitting the hood, we attached the SoffSeal hood seals on the cowl and the grille shell. When fitting body parts, you must keep in mind that seals can affect the final fit. With the seals in place, we trimmed and fitted the hood.
Next, we secured 1/2-inch square steel tubing to the inside of the lip on each side of the hood with machine screws and locknuts. For mounting the hood top at the cowl, we elected to form two bullet-shaped round steel pieces that could be welded to the 1/2-inch square steel tubing and protrude beyond the hood line. The firewall was marked where these bullets would meet the firewall, and holes were drilled in the firewall. The hood was then slid into the holes and the rear hood mounts were complete. In the front, we welded small steel tabs to the 1/2-inch square tubing and mounted tabs from the radiator mounts that slid under and lined up with the tabs on the hood. Quarter-inch holes were drilled through both tabs, and 1/4-inch hitch pins were used to secure the front of the hood. The hitch pin is slid through the two holes and a spring clip is then pushed through the hole in the hitch pin. Flat washers can be used as spacers if the hole in the hitch pin does not pull the hood down enough to align the hood with the grille shell.
While we are topless-car fans, we also know that having a top, preferably an easily removable one, has many advantages. After reviewing several options, we chose the Sid Chaver's Bop Top. The Bob Top has the lines we were looking for, is easily removed, can be stored in the trunk, and is easy to install.
When we say easy to install, we mean it. The hardest part for us was installing the brackets required to mount the top. The Bop Top mounts to the original-style '32 Ford top brackets, but in our case there were no top brackets. We found two, chrome-plated, original-style top brackets in a box of parts that had come with the car. With the brackets in hand, we covered the body area with masking tape and marked the shape of the slot to be cut. Utilizing a die grinder at very low speed, we carefully formed slots in the already painted body. After packing the area with dampened towels, we carefully welded the brackets to the steel subframe. We made small welds and kept cooling the area to prevent blistering the paint. With that nerve-racking task successfully completed, we moved on to the top installation.
We followed the video instructions supplied with the Bop Top. The header brackets were attached to the windshield posts and the oak header bow was put in place and marked for attaching the header brackets. After the brackets were attached to the header bow, the top frame was assembled and mounted to the top mounting brackets. With the top frame in place, the two side top bows were cut to the length required to fit them into the header bow brackets. With the side bows trimmed and in place, we snapped the top cover to the rear of the top frame and, following the instructions, we pulled the top material tight and stapled it to the header bow. We attached the hide-em strip after trimming the excess top material. A hide-em strip is a piece of material that is placed over the staples that holds the top material to the top bow and is then closed up, thus hiding all of the staples.
In about two hours, the Bob Top was installed and we were motoring down the road. The design of the Bop Top prevents the top from actually contacting the body of the car; the top is very stable under speed, and does not blow up like many convertible tops. While we are very pleased with the top, we plan to store it in the trunk and save it for a rainy day.
Continuing with the weather and wind-protection phase, we ordered a set of wind-wing brackets and a pair of Lexan wind wings from Speedway Motors. The stock-height wind wings were cut down to fit the 2 1/2-inch chopped windshield stanchions and the stanchions were drilled and tapped to accept the wind-wing brackets. The wind wings add a touch of that "old-timey look," and they help keep some of the wind and rain out of the cockpit.
We copied what we had seen in many early hot rod magazines for our rearview mirrors with the use of door-mounted mirrors. We ordered two inexpensive peep mirrors from Speedway Motors. We removed the supplied clip that mounts the mirror to the doorframe to direct-mount the mirrors. That clip was replaced with an aluminum piece that fit inside the mirror-mounting pad and contained a countersunk through-hole in the center to mount the aluminum piece to the mirror with the same screw that had held the clip in place. The aluminum piece also had two 1/4-20 tapped holes. Two 1/4-20 setscrews were placed in the two tapped holes, and, after carefully drilling two holes in the door, the mirror was attached from the inside with flat washers, lock washers, and nuts. The aluminum piece was machined on a small milling machine by a friend, but the same piece could be manufactured with a hacksaw, files, and a drill.
Earlier, we mentioned SoffSeal weather stripping. A telephone call to the tech guys at SoffSeal resulted in the discovery that SoffSeal produces weather seal kits for specific fiberglass bodies. Kilborne manufactured our body, and SoffSeal had a complete kit for a Kilborne '32 Ford roadster. The kit consisted of the previously mentioned hood seals, along with trunk seals and door seals. The rubber seals have an adhesive already applied and are of the peel-and-stick variety-no more "gorilla snot" required to glue the seals in place.
We are very big on safety and it is important to us to have a quality, UL-approved fire extinguisher aboard our street rod where it can be seen, since it may be someone else who grabs your fire extinguisher and saves your street rod. We chose a 1.4lb, compact, clean-agent fire extinguisher manufactured by H3R Performance, available from Parr Automotive, Yearwood, Jeg's, Total Performance, and others.
H3R also manufactures dry-chemical fire extinguishers. They are less expensive and they will do the job; however, we were sold on the idea of no mess, no cleanup, and no damage to sensitive electronics offered with a clean-agent fire extinguisher. Stick with UL-approved, American-made, quality fire extinguishers to protect your investment and for piece of mind.
Six months of part-time work and our unfinished street rod is completed, updated, and modified to our desires. We racked up about 3,000 miles on the odometer in that six months, and our rodding friends were always waiting to see what we did next. We obtained our dream of building a traditional hot rod for far less than the cost of building from scratch, buying a finished street rod, or hiring a professional rod shop to build our car. The satisfaction and pride of doing it ourselves greatly enhanced the experience.
If you don't have a street rod, but you always wanted one, get out there and go for it. There are deals to be had on unfinished cars and you can do it yourself-we did.

Antonio Botto was one of Portugal's first openly gay writers, a poete maudit whose unapologetic and candid verses about homosexual life and passion were both praised and reviled when they appeared in Portuguese in 1922 under the title Cancoes. Botto's poetic voice-confessional, personal, and intimate-revels and luxuriates in eroticism while expressing the ache of longing, silence, and suffering. Yet for all of his acclaim and notoriety-he was both hailed as one of the great poets of his day and condemned for his frank depictions of male-male desire-Botto and his work fell into oblivion after his death.The Songs of Antonio Botto recovers this important, urgent voice in modern poetry by making available-for the first time since its private publication in 1948-the English-language translation of Cancoes that Botto's friend and artistic collaborator, Fernando Pessoa, completed in 1933. Pessoa, Portugal's preeminent modernist literary figure, considered Botto the only Portuguese poet worthy of the label "aesthete" and, as a critic and publisher, championed his work. Featuring an introduction to Botto's work and Pessoa's previously unpublished foreword to the 1948 edition as well as a new translation of Botto's 1941 elegy to Pessoa, The Songs of Antonio Botto establishes Botto as a pioneering figure in modern gay literature and places him alongside C. P. Cavafy and Federico Garcia Lorca as one of the major poetic voices of the twentieth century.

The field of organ transplantation has evolved significantly since the first edition of this book was published in 1997. What hasn't changed is the extraordinary commitment of thousands of healthcare professionals, patients, and most importantly, donor families and loved ones who make the ultimate sacrifice in the face of a devastation loss to give the Gift of Life. These unselfish altruistic acts, which benefit dozens of potential recipients, are the cornerstones of the lifesaving benefits of organ transplantation.
Many healthcare professionals as well make significant personal and professional sacrifices to support the transplant enterprise. Without their commitment, these gifts could not be received. Over 120,000 deserving patients with end-organ failure are awaiting lifesaving or life-enhancing organ transplants. Without the commitment of the multidisciplinary teams, who in some cases have given their lives to procure these organs, the enterprise cannot succeed.
This textbook outlining the best practices in organ procurement and preservation process from world class transplant teams is dedicated to the donors and healthcare professionals who give their lives so that others could live. Special thanks to our families, including spouses, children and support staff at home, who sacrificed and supported our professional aspirations to participate in the transplant enterprise. And special thanks to Elisa Wise for her commitment to this project – which could not have come to fruition without her effort.


Can You Blame Moore on Global Warming?
The type of tornado that hit Oklahoma could become more common as the atmosphere warms. Or maybe not.
Climate change is real. And scientists are confident that we're going to see more heat waves, droughts, and deluges as the atmosphere continues to warm. Hurricanes may be more frequent, too, or more powerful—either way, a rising sea will make them more devastating.
The behavior of tornadoes, however, has proven more difficult to predict, a fact thrown into sharp relief by the deadly twister that hit Moore, Oklahoma, on Monday with only a 16-minute warning. Researchers says it's simply too difficult to predict with certainty how a changing climate will affect the frequency of their wrath.
In part that's because tornadoes, compared with other weather events, are relatively small. A heat wave or a drought or even a hurricane affects hundreds or thousands of square miles; tornadoes, famously, can level a house and leave the neighbor's untouched. Even now, advanced weather-forecasting models work with grid squares that are several miles large and can at best say whether a particular thunderstorm might be likely to spawn a tornado several hours or days in advance.
There's also not much quality historical data on tornadoes. The Fujita scale wasn't invented until the 1970s, at which point the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration went back and retroactively rated tornadoes based on historical records of the damage they wrought. The scale was changed again in 2007, but it's still essentially a way of measuring damage, so only tornadoes that pass through populated areas get recorded. Then there's the compounding factor that tornadoes vary a lot from year to year—from June 2010 through May 2011, we had over 1,000 EF1 or stronger tornadoes, a record high, and from May 2011 through April 2013, we had 217, a record in the opposite direction. A short historical record, inconsistent reporting, and wide variability: it all makes for a noisy data set.
Because of these limitations, researchers have been focusing on how climate change will affect the atmospheric conditions that give rise to tornadoes.
Tornadoes need a few basic ingredients. First, you need warm, humid air beneath a layer of cool, dry air. Second, you need those layers to be traveling at different speeds or in different directions, a phenomenon called wind shear. These two conditions happen a lot in the Plains states, as the jet stream pushes cool, dry air from the Rockies over slower-moving humid air from the Gulf of Mexico. When a disturbance like a cold front or a low-pressure system causes the two layers to interact, the hot layer tries to rise, and you get a rotating column of air that can turn into the sort of violent thunderstorm that sometimes spawns tornadoes.
Climate change will affect these two ingredients in opposite ways, says Harold Brooks, a researcher at the National Weather Center in Norman, Oklahoma. On one hand, warmer air can hold more moisture than cool air can, so moisture content will increase with global temperatures. On the other hand, wind shear is expected to decrease as the poles get warmer. Researchers have debated for several years which factor will win out. Brooks says that most recent models point to higher moisture content resulting in more strong thunderstorms, but the lower wind shear means a smaller fraction of them will spawn tornadoes. Whether there will be so many more thunderstorms that they end up creating more net tornadoes, despite the lower wind shear, is unclear. "We're not sure which will win out," says Brooks, but either way expect more violent storms.
Stanford University scientist Noah Diffenbaugh says that recent models show higher moisture content winning out over decreasing wind shear, resulting in a higher likelihood of severe thunderstorms that could spawn tornadoes, but he cautions that the research is still in the early stages.
"The response of tornadoes to global warming is one of a small handful of outstanding and really important unknowns in terms of how global warming will likely impact humans," says Diffenbaugh.
That's partly due to a historical gap between the people who study climate and the people who study extreme weather, which has started to close only recently, according to Adam Sobel, who studies atmospheric science at Columbia University. The reason for it is partly technical and partly cultural: until recently scientists didn't have the computational power to model relatively small weather events like hurricanes and tornadoes, and the people who studied climate and the people who studied extreme weather tended to belong to different institutions. That started to change with hurricanes a decade ago, but with tornadoes it's just starting to happen, thanks in part to more powerful modeling tools and greater cross-discipline communication.

Kenya's Raila Odinga warns of ethnic election violence
Image source, AFP
The aftermath of the 2007 polls forced 600,000 people from their homes
Kenya's Prime Minister Raila Odinga has warned that the emergence of ethnically-based political groups could spell doom in elections due next year.
Mr Odinga joined a coalition government with his rival President Mwai Kibaki to help end violence after the 2007 poll when more than 1,200 people died.
"When the ethnic drums are being sounded, we know" what that means for the country, he told the BBC.
But he said the coalition had helped bring in reforms.
In the weeks of political unrest following the December 2007 elections, some 600,000 people were also forced to flee their homes.
Four prominent Kenyans are being tried by the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague for their part in organising the violence. They all deny the accusations.
'Balkanising Kenya'
Mr Odinga said his "marriage of convenience" with Mr Kibaki had produced results.
Kenya's Prime Minister Raila Odinga: ''Being in a coalition forced us to make some compromises''
"Everyone agrees that this marriage has produced offspring… so we've not done badly because we've produced a new constitution for the country and carried out substantial reforms," he told the BBC's Network Africa programme.
"We've carried out quite a bit of reforms aimed at levelling the playing field," the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader added.
"Unfortunately we still have some politicians who believe in the past and we have seen over the last few months incitement of the public along ethnic lines… trying to balkanise the country along ethnic lines."
He named two groups in particular - the Gikuyu, Embu, and Meru Association (Gema) and Kamatusa, a group representing pastoralist communities.
The prime minister, who has announced his intention to run for president next year, said the public needed to be aware of these "prophets of doom".
On Wednesday, a close ally of Mr Odinga's, Deputy Prime Minister Musalia Mudavadi resigned from the ODM, declaring himself a candidate for the presidential election.
Mr Mudavadi will now represent the recently formed United Democratic Forum, but said he wanted to represent a party that was not associated with a particular region.
A former ally of Mr Odinga, ex-Education Minister William Ruto, is also vying for the presidency - and is one those facing prosecution at the ICC over the post-election violence.
Uhuru Kenyatta, an ally of President Kibaki and son of Kenya's founding leader, is also accused by prosecutors at The Hague of crimes against humanity, including murder and persecution.
He has said he too will be standing for president in the forthcoming elections.
The date has yet to be announced by the Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission, a new body set up as part of the coalition government's reforms.
It is thought the polls will be in the first few months of 2013, not in December as is traditional in Kenya, which means that Mr Kibaki will remain in power beyond the end of his mandate in January 2013.
'Real gentleman'
Archive footage shows Kenyan violence in 2007
Politicians may find that ethnic politics is no longer palatable to voters in Kenya where 35 year olds make up the majority of the electorate, the prime minister noted.
"The youth have no time for ethnic politics… working together with our youth, we'll be able to change our society."
In the interview with the BBC during a visit to London, Mr Odinga also discussed his relationship with the president and Party of National Unity (PNU) leader, who is serving his second and final term in office, saying it was "initially stormy" because of the fears and suspicion following the 2007 election.
"But thereafter we've set up a very good working relationship," he said of his old rival.
"Most of the time when he's not under the influence of the extremists on his side, I've found him to be a real gentleman."
The power-sharing deal between the PNU and ODM to end the 2007-8 violence was brokered by former UN chief Kofi Annan.
The agreement had initially said that those accused of being the main perpetrators would stand trial in Kenya, but politicians were unable to agree on setting up a local tribunal; who to prosecute and how to proceed.
This is why the ICC started its investigations.

US Postal Service is urged to stop delivering mysterious seeds
Investigators study whether return address labels on seed packages, many postmarked from China, are accurate
State agriculture officials are urging the U.S. Postal Service to stop delivering the mysterious seed packages that have been arriving in mailboxes across the country, mailings that federal officials believe are coming from China.
AMERICANS RECEIVE MYSTERY SEEDS IN THE MAIL, MOSTLY FROM CHINA
Agriculture officials from several states have pressed the federal government to halt deliveries of packages that may contain the seeds as states continue to be inundated by reports from people across the U.S. who have received them. Officials are concerned the seeds could introduce weeds, pests or diseases that could harm U.S. agriculture.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture said last week it had so far identified 14 species of seeds, from mustard and morning glory to cabbage, rosemary and roses. As of late Wednesday, there was no indication the seeds carry pests or diseases, according to the USDA. Several states say they have identified seeds of weed species that could pose a threat to crops and native plants.
"We are working closely with [U.S. Customs and Border Protection] to intercept illegally imported seed packages," a USDA spokesperson said in a statement. "We're also working with other federal authorities, the U.S. Postal Service, express carriers, and online marketplaces to stop future deliveries."
In a statement, the Postal Inspection Service, the law-enforcement arm of the USPS, said it is aware of the recent seed mailings and is in continuing consultation with federal, state and local officials. A Customs and Border Protection spokesperson said last week the agency is working "to target, detect, intercept, and thereby prevent the entry of these potential threats."
APPLE REMOVES THOUSANDS OF GAME APPS FROM CHINA STORE: RESEARCH FIRM
Agricultural officials in Mississippi and Minnesota said they had asked the USPS whether the agency could identify and intercept seed packages before they are delivered to homes.
"Our whole goal would be to prevent the seeds from being delivered," said Phil Wilson, director of the plant-industry division at North Carolina's Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services. "We're still getting calls on top of calls and you don't know how much is in the pipeline."
Mr. Wilson said as of Monday his department had received more than 900 reports, and that he has also pushed for the USPS to stem the flow of unsolicited seed deliveries.
Blayne Arthur, Oklahoma's secretary of agriculture, said there is a difficult balance to strike between protecting U.S. agriculture and respecting Americans' personal property rights and privacy. Sid Miller, Texas' agriculture commissioner, said it could be difficult to identify and catch all of the suspect seed packages since many have been labeled as containing jewelry or other contents.
TRUMP OK WITH MICROSOFT BUYING TIK TOK, SAYS APP WILL CLOSE SEPT. 15 IF NO ACQUISITION
Since late July, hundreds of people across at least 22 states and other countries have received in the mail unsolicited packages containing seeds, mostly postmarked from China, but also from other countries. Many have contacted local agricultural officials, who are urging people not to open or handle the seeds, and to turn them in for analysis. A few people have planted them, according to state agricultural departments.
A state agriculture official said the federal government is investigating whether the seed packages originated from a single source, and whether the return address labels are accurate. Some officials briefed by the USDA on Monday said the investigation points to China, despite packages that appear to have been sent from other places in addition to China, including Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, the Solomon Islands, the United Arab Emirates and Iran.
"We have not identified the source of the seed packages, but they appear to be coming from China," a USDA spokesperson said.
China's Foreign Ministry said last week that mailing labels on the seed packages were forged and that the country had asked the U.S. to send the packages to China for investigation. The ministry this week had no immediate comment.
The USDA has said it has no evidence the packages are anything other than a "brushing scam," in which vendors selling through online retailers like Amazon.com Inc. pay "brushers" to place orders for their products, with packages with low-value or no contents being shipped to strangers. Brushers then pose as the buyers and post fake customer reviews to boost the vendor's sales.
Over the last decade, online marketplaces like Amazon and others have signed up Chinese manufacturers and merchants that sell products directly to Americans. Some e-commerce sellers and experts have linked these sellers to dubious sales tactics, like brushing schemes, on the platforms.
Amazon reiterated Monday its view that the seed packages appear to be delayed packages due to Covid-19.
The company, however, is still investigating any connection the platform may have to the packages and whether brushing is involved, a person familiar with the matter said. Amazon has been in contact with the USDA to resolve the matter.
The USDA said brushing scams involving seed packets in international mail shipments are not uncommon. Customs and Border Protection has intercepted similar seed shipments in recent years, according to the USDA.
AMERICANS GROWING THEIR OWN FOOD DURING CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
Some state agricultural officials said they were skeptical. "It doesn't look like the type of thing that's a simple brushing scam," said Andy Gipson, Mississippi's agriculture commissioner. "Someone is expending huge sums of money to get these seeds in some cases to very remote locations throughout the United States."
The USDA said it hasn't identified any link to agroterrorism, though the situation is evolving and it is evaluating every possibility.

Seed recipients seem to be people who recently purchased goods online, the USDA said, adding that consumers who received unsolicited seed packages may want to change their passwords on e-commerce sites and contact the companies if they are concerned their accounts were compromised.
The USDA is routing seeds it has collected from across the U.S. to the agency's botanists to determine their species. Its preliminary analysis of seeds has identified a mix of ornamental, fruit and vegetable, herb and weed species.
"A lot of us are still shaking our heads trying to figure out the pieces of the puzzle," said Ms. Arthur. "We know we don't have them all together yet."

MADISON, Wis., Sept. 21, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cellectar Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq:CLRB), an oncology-focused, clinical stage biotechnology company (the "company"), and Onconova Therapeutics (Nasdaq:ONTX) today announced that they have entered into a strategic collaboration to develop new phospholipid drug conjugates (PDCs) combining Cellectar's patented phospholipid ether delivery platform with select proprietary compounds or payloads from Onconova's early stage product pipeline. Newtown, Pa.-based Onconova is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of novel small molecule drug candidates to treat cancer.
Under the terms of the collaboration, Onconova will provide Cellectar with several compounds, including some from the family of molecules that contains Briciclib, which is an EIF4E targeting small molecule with early Phase 1 data. Cellectar will leverage its expertise in early development and chemical conjugation to link the molecules to its phospholipid ether (PDC platform) to create new, more precisely targeted antitumor agents. Both companies will have the option to advance the development of any of the newly conjugated PDC molecules. Financial terms of the collaboration have not been disclosed.
"We are focused on optimizing the delivery of our therapeutic compounds in the battle against Myelodysplastic Syndrome and a variety of cancers. As such, we are excited to collaborate with Cellectar and leverage their PDC platform, which we believe can improve the targeting of our molecules directly to the cancer, in addition to extending the patent coverage of these drug candidates," said Ramesh Kumar, Ph.D., president and CEO of Onconova Therapeutics.
Onconova Therapeutics, Inc. is a Phase 3-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering and developing novel small molecule drug candidates to treat cancer, with a primary focus on Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS). Rigosertib, Onconova's lead candidate, is a proprietary Phase 3 small molecule agent, which the Company believes blocks cellular signaling by targeting RAS effector pathways. Using a proprietary chemistry platform, Onconova has created a pipeline of targeted agents designed to work against specific cellular pathways that are important in cancer cells, while causing minimal damage to normal cells. Onconova has three product candidates in the clinical stage and several pre-clinical programs. Advanced clinical trials with the Company's lead compound, rigosertib, are aimed at what the Company believes are unmet medical needs of patients with MDS.

Soft as a glove. The Eames Lounge Chair with Ottoman was designed in the 1950s for this purpose. Being a cozy nest, where to take refuge "from the strains of modern living". Having a timeless mission, this chair has always been a must, still in production. His debut in 1956, design by the duo Charles and Ray Eames for the company Herman Miller (in Europe since '57 the production is in the hands of Vitra). Real debut because its success follows the appearance on national television in the United States.
Authentic design, great quality and refined materials, handcrafted details are a hallmark of this chair that can only be called an icon.
FUN FACT: Today this armchair is available in two sizes. The original version, plus an XL version. Yes, because since its first production the average human height has increased by about 10cm and even taller people should be able to enjoy the maximum comfort that the Eames had planned for the Lounge.
"Why not make a modern version of the old English club chair?"
Cit. Charles Eames

Given the lawsuit filed yesterday over Kasich's JobsOhio plan, I am reminded that the math in the Governor's budget about funding JobsOhio has never been adequately explained. We posted about it before, but that was before the budget bill was available and before the administration had testified in committee. Since then, the details seem to have changed slightly, but still don't add up.
Kasich's two-year budget proposes funding JobsOhio by leasing the state's liquor operation to the entity. JobsOhio would pay $1.2billion – $700 million to pay off debt backed by liquor profits, and $500million to the state general fund, giving the entity about $100 million a year in liquor profits to use for economic development.
Grendell said the price should be more like $3 billion, and Widener also said he'd like to see a higher price.
So where does the extra $100 million a year come from for JobsOhio? It's baffling.
Sadly, the House let the administration off the hook without providing a satisfactory explanation in testimony. Given the comments of the two Senators, above, we don't think they'll escape Senate hearings without a better accounting. But it remains to be seen whether the funding mechanism for JobsOhio will remain after the House completes the amendment process. We'll be watching.
Sounds like Wall Street math.
Sounds like the same math used by Obama to support the recent federal bailout programs.

People who want to lose weight would do well to work a bit of exercise into their routines. However, it doesn't take as much exercise as some might think. Working in time to exercise is not easy. But if you get off one train stop early, or park a bit farther from the grocery store, you're giving your body a little workout every time you move, which boosts your metabolism. Walking a couple miles a day can prevent you from gaining that extra 10 pounds.
Keep your alcohol intake to a minimum, especially in the first few weeks of a diet and exercise program, for maximum results. Alcohol inhibits and lowers your metabolism, as well as being high in calorie content. These calories have no nutritional value and are known as empty calories.
During the course of you starting to lose weight, you are going to go out with your friends and possibly have a huge dinner that is not at all part of your diet plans. Instead of just giving up and continuing to do the same thing, just continue on your regular workout and diet.
To help you lose weight, look for opportunities to get a little exercise while going about your daily activities; you can even get a mini-workout while shopping. Make the effort to walk around the mall before you even go into a store. It won't take long, and you will burn a few extra calories before you know it.
