Idealist, Spy, Defector
September 28, 2021 by Diane Greig
Elizabeth Bentley, an American, graduated from Vassar College in 1930 with a degree in languages. While completing a Master's degree at Columbia University she won a scholarship to the University of Florence. There she became part of a Italian fascist group enjoying the social conscious and camaraderie.
Elizabeth Bentley c. 1948
Upon returning home in 1935 she joined the Communist Party of the United States (CPUS) and obtained a job in New York City at the Italian Library of Information. Being a young academic idealist she reported to the CPUS that she would gather intelligence on the fascists. This soon drew the attention of the Soviet secret police and they instructed their most important Soviet agent in the U.S to handle her. It was two years before she knew that her lover was a Soviet intelligence officer.
The USSR, like the US, believed that they needed to control women espionage agents due to their sexual weaknesses and erratic behaviours. They wanted Elizabeth Bentley's contributions so a male handler was deployed to keep her in line. As Katherine Fusick reports in reviewing Soviet documentation about Elizabeth Bentley, "The full page dedicated to outlining Elizabeth Bentley's love life is proof that the Soviets also had a preoccupation with the romantic sides of female spies similar to the American preoccupation" of the time. The cultural shadow of the era was obvious in both the USSR and the US regarding women's inability to perform as well as their male counterparts especially in espionage. However, when her Soviet lover died, Bentley was temporaily given the position of overseeing his network of spies. When replaced she realised she had been part of a communist machine with more extreme ideas and plans than she could agreed with and this and the fear for her life drove her to defect to the FBI in 1945.
From interviewing the Invisible Women agents in 2005, I know that a couple of them would agree that they were idealists before being exposed to the terrors of war behind the lines however, none would have turned to spy for an enemy institution or power. But, it is easy for some people, as in the case of Elizabeth Bentley, to get caught up in extreme and/or unconventional ideals. Often however, when they are eventually exposed to the violent consequences of those ideals, they shift their views in line with a more practical reality.

Manga/Anime Reviews
Akatsuki Organization
by Tanya M.
In this article, I'm going to talk about the Akatsuki organization from the manga series Naruto. I've already reviewed the manga itself, so you can read the article here. Now, let's get onto the description of Akatsuki.
Warning! For those who aren't up-to-date with the manga Naruto this article contains lots of spoilers!
The introduction of Akatsuki
Who are jinchuriki?
The Sealing technique and Akatsuki's plans
The leader of Akatsuki
The origin and objectives of Akatsuki
Mysterious Tobi
What makes Akatsuki different?
2. Powers and abilities
3. Drama
Akatsuki is an organization comprising the main antagonists in the series. The name literally means "dawn" although it's consonant with the phrase "red moon".
The Akatsuki organization
For the first time we see the members of Akatsuki after the war between Konohagakure and Sunagakure ignited by Orochimaru. Taking advantage of the fact that the village was in difficult situation, Itachi and Kisame tried to capture the protagonist of the manga, Naruto, for unknown reasons. Luckily, Naruto managed to escape due to the help of shinobi from the village. The village was left in peace for a while but in several years the members of Akatsuki came back to capture jinchuriki (and Naruto is one of them) around the world.
Akatsuki abducting jinchuriki
Jinchuriki are humans that have biju, i.e. the Tailed beasts, sealed within them. They are intelligent monsters possessing a huge reserve of energy and destructive potential. Split up in pairs, Akatsuki took them away, sometimes with fighting. Eventually, it became clear that Akatsuki captured jinchuriki to extract biju from them. They sealed them within Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
Deidara after joining Akatsuki
The technique Akatsuki used to extract biju is really horrifying. Their provocative and yet demonstrative violence and insolence will shake anybody to their foundations. The members of the organization are ready to kill everybody on their way, even if it's a whole army. They showed themselves as real monsters, either literally or metaphorically, that changed their human bodies for unique powers and techniques. The string of battles led to a huge number of human deaths. By the way, some Akatsuki died too.
The member of Akatsuki
Every Akatsuki member pursued their own goals and entered the organization to accomplish them. For example, terrorist Deidara didn't mind to blow up everything around him, treasurer Kakuzu aspired to make some extra cash, sectarian Hidan committed ritual murders, and so on.
The relationship between the Akatsuki members also left much to be desired. For instance, Kakuzu killed some of his partners just because he didn't like them. One of Akatsuki was hiding from the others long before the main events started in the manga. Thus, Akatsuki joined the organization in order to obtain power but not because of ideological or moral principles. Their genuine goals remained unknown for a long time. There were different suppositions: from that they wanted to monopolize the market of the orders for shinobi to that they were going to take the power over the world. Only one thing was obvious – they were up to something global!
Interestingly, at first the leader of Akatsuki operated in the shadows and appeared in the form of a hologram. For a long time, the persona was veiled in mystery. An attempt to reveal the secret cost Jiraiya (Naruto's godfather) his life. He managed to get into Amegakure as he knew that the leader of Akatsuki was hiding there. Jiraiya found out that the mysterious person was the ruler of Amegakure on a part-time basis. Unfortunately, he was spotted and murdered in a fierce fight. Readers discovered that the leader of Akatsuki called himself "Pain" and that he was connected somehow with Nagato, Jiraiya's ex-apprentice. And that's it. No more information.
Six Paths of Pain
Then Pain left Amegakure and attacked Konoha in an effort to find Naruto. Endowed with extraordinary abilities and linked to each other with a single mind, six shinobi destroyed a half of the city in order to get some information. Moreover, when Pain couldn't find Naruto, he razed the whole city with its citizens to the ground without any doubt and pity. Pain's enormous power, huge arsenal of abilities and an absolute ruthlessness were staggering even against the background of his organization consisted of monsters. Sometime after that, he met Naruto. Their conversation finally threw light on the mystery of the origin of Akatsuki, his leader and their real objectives.
Akatsuki was founded by Yahiko together with his friends Konan and Nagato in a small country Amegakure. Their aim was to fight against the tyranny and oppression reigned in Akatsuki and bring peace to the whole world. However, after Yahiko's death everything has changed. Having become a new leader, Nagato recruited the criminals of S-rank from different countries. They were the most dreadful and dangerous fighters in the world. Although there were only ten members, they represented a huge power due to the high level of each fighter. For a long time, the organization acted as international mercenaries executing orders for moderate pay.
From Nagato himself readers found out about the aims of extracting biju – to achieve peace in the world! He intended to destroy the world order based on suffering and violence with creating a powerful weapon capable of obliterating a whole country. Nagato's plan was to give all countries access to such a weapon in order to make the governors suspend hostilities and thus to maintain peace. Nagato's intentions are similar to the policies of nuclear deterrence in the modern world.
Nuclear deterrence means prevention any opponent's actions by having a nuclear weapon as threat. If one country has a nuclear weapon, it guarantees its security as the rest of the countries are afraid to attack it. Thus, a nuclear weapon isn't the weapon of war but the weapon of peace aimed to prevent war. I think it's quite a feasible approach. It's fraught with small conflicts though but makes it possible to prevent massive world wars.
After Nagato's death, it has emerged that he was just a formal leader and one of the ordinary members, mysterious Tobi, was the secret leader of Akatsuki. He joined the organization after Yahiko's death and exerted a profound influence on its development. (At least he believed he did although I think Nagato didn't share his views and just waited for the moment to get biju.)
Tobi as well as Nagato intended to achieve peace but through other means. He wanted to break the circle of wars, sufferings, and deaths by trapping all people in a dream. Naturally, it would have caused the conflict of interest since every leader used another one but Nagato died and Tobi taken his place unleashed a world war.
I think I'll stop here and won't make any more spoilers. You can read the manga yourself and find out how everything turns out.
Now, I'd like to explain why I decided to review Akatsuki in a separate article. The reason is simple. Although there are similar organizations in many other mangas (Espada in Bleach, Shichibukai in One Piece, etc.), in my humble opinion, Akatsuki is the most developed and interesting among them. Of course, I mean only the titles I've read myself.
I'd like to focus on some strong sides of Akatsuki.
The author of Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto, paid a lot of attention to the development of the characters' personalities. Fans even made cults of some of the members of Akatsuki and split up into implacable groups. It's worth noting that the characters attract readers with not only their memorable looks and well-developed personalities but also with the fact they each of them have their own history. Kishimoto managed to reveal the personages' past lives and explain their motives. Readers could look at each Akatsuki from different sides and create thorough images with their own personalities. Each flashback let readers see the story in a different light, form their opinion on the characters and even change their views towards the characters.
Unique members of Akatsuki
Akatsuki are endowed with the most extraordinary techniques among the characters in the manga since they are more developed in comparison with humans. Such personages as live doll Sasori, Kakuzu made of threads, and anthropomorphous plant Zetsu boast not only colorful looks but also unique fighting styles. In addition, due to Akatsuki the level of destructiveness increased greatly. With every new battle they brought something to surprise readers. Almost every member had an impressive arsenal of techniques striking with their power and specificity.
Akatsuki's extraordinary abilities
As I mentioned in the review of Naruto, Kishimoto was able to show the characters' deaths in the way to touch the reader to the heart. In the scenes with fights and deaths, the author managed to reveal Akatsuki's personalities to the full extent. Moreover, such moments usually involved the conflict of characters' views which made the things even tenser. The author exposed the sides of some characters that readers didn't expect them to have. For example, Kisame, who seemed to be sadistic and cynical, turned out to be an idealist striving for peace, valuing his friends and ready to give his life for them. After that, I completely changed my opinion about him.
Overall, I believe that such developed, logical, and rational organization as Akatsuki can't allow anybody to stay indifferent. Personally, I was enraptured with all the events connected with this it, looked forward to the introduction of new "pairs", and empathized with every member.
Actually, I can call myself a fan of Akatsuki and assure you that I haven't seen its analogs in other manga and anime series. The history of origin, development, and ending of Akatsuki fascinates the reader and at the same time leaves the bitter taste of loss after its ending. Besides, the idea itself is quite original and can make readers take the side of antagonists.
If you want to become better acquainted with Akatsuki, start reading Naruto – you won't be disappointed!

News and opinion from Greece
About Inside Greece
Tag Archives: Troika
Is VAT all you've got?
Grabbing a coffee for 20 cents less doesn't really sound like the start of an economic recovery but who knows, maybe after this week's decision to cut value added tax at restaurants and cafes, Greece will soon be measuring out its success with coffee spoons.
Naturally, the government has made the most of the skeptical troika finally giving in on a longstanding Greek demand for VAT in the food service sector to be reduced from 23 to 13 percent. Even so, Prime Minister Antonis Samaras announcing the temporary measure in a televised address was a touch excessive given he only informed the nation that a nightclub drink would soon be about 50 cents cheaper. For the government, though, the symbolism of the reduction is perhaps more important than its economic impact.
Samaras presented it as a personal triumph of persistence. Deputy Prime Minister Evangelos Venizelos said it was a sign that the troika had begun listening to Greece. Indeed, the VAT reduction represents something of a milestone in the Greek bailout program as tax hikes have been the norm and a regular source of much anger over the last three years. It was billed as the first tax cut since the program began, which is not quite accurate. Technically, it was the second as a 15 percent reduction in the emergency property tax introduced in 2011 had been agreed a couple of months earlier. This came after pressure from Democratic Left, which was still part of the coalition at the time. There was no televised address, though.

For SYRIZA and Tsipras, youth is not enough to unseat Greece's 'aged powers'
Illustration by Manos Symeonakis
Alexis Tsipras told delegates at SYRIZA's founding congress on Wednesday that it is time for the leftists to rid Greece of its "aged powers," namely New Democracy and PASOK. But to do so, SYRIZA can't rely just on being younger than them.
SYRIZA was founded as the Coalition of the Radical Left in 2004 thanks to a cooperation between several leftist parties, most notably Synaspismos. As is to be expected of youth, SYRIZA spent its formative years not really knowing what it wanted to be – a sounding board for leftist intellectuals, a springboard for political activists or a launch pad for the left to come to power. SYRIZA members had this existential question answered for them last summer thanks to the party's impressive showing in the June elections, when it garnered almost 27 percent of the vote and won 72 seats in Parliament.
Since then Tsipras, just 38, has been on a mission to mould SYRIZA into a party of government rather than a collection of leftist factions happy with life on the opposition benches. The conference is due to end with almost all the factions voting themselves into oblivion and SYRIZA becoming a single unit. Over the last year, though, Tsipras's has been far from a steady hand at the helm. He was veered from an anti-austerity platform last summer to the attempt at reconciliation with Greece's lenders and center ground voters earlier this year. He toned down his rhetoric after the elections, then ramped it up as Cyprus was being bailed out, before settling for a holding pattern ahead of this week's congress.

Coalition unwound
Illustration by Manos Symeonakis for Cartoon Movement http://www.cartoonmovement.com/p/6035
Prime Minister Antonis Samaras marked one year in the job on Friday by becoming the leader of what was effectively Greece's fifth government in four years after Democratic Left's decision to drop out of the coalition left his New Democracy party and PASOK as the two that remained from a previous partnership of three. The dire economic situation, the pressure of its lenders and the historical absence of consensus politics in Greece meant it was always going to be a challenging job. Samaras enters the second year of his premiership on an equally shaky footing.
Democratic Left's departure had been in the making for some time. The three parties that formed the coalition in June 2012 did so knowing that Greece had been balancing on the precipice but their intention of moving the country to safer ground soon lost its potential to drive this three-wheeled vehicle on. Beyond securing Greece's place in the euro and rebuilding trust with the skeptical troika, there was no grand, or even less pronounced, vision to spur the coalition's efforts. As the drachma risk faded and lenders were placated, so the three-party government's raison d'etre dissolved. It was replaced by friction fuelled by each party's desire to stake its claim to any positive development and distance itself from anything negative. As the stardust was blown away, the political and ideological splits were revealed.

Happy anniversary. How about a reform?
Illustration by Manos Symeonakis http://www.cartoonmovement.com/p/6035
It is one year to the day since Greece held its second general election in two months and third in three years. What better way to celebrate the occasion than trying to relive the uncertainty and tension we experienced during the summer of 2012? The leaders of Greece's three coalition parties go into a meeting this evening with the future of their government less secure than it has been at any point during the 12 months. The cause of their dispute suggests that even if this crisis is overcome, deeper problems lie ahead.
The spark that threatens to burn the house down is the closure of public broadcaster ERT. Prime Minister Antonis Samaras, who ordered the shutdown, suggested over the weekend that the bigger picture in this standoff is that he is a reformer and the others, both in his government and in opposition, are not. But what does he really mean by reform?
His justification for closing ERT was that it was overstaffed, too expensive and a source of corruption. Greece needs a more modern broadcaster, along the lines of the BBC, it has been suggested. All of these things may be true to a greater or lesser extent but there has been no attempt by the government to back this up with any substance, just the standard smattering of platitudes.

Greece: A reality check
Posted on May 17, 2013 | 24 comments
Petros Giannakouris/Associated Press
And like that… poof, the crisis is gone. More bailout loans approved by the Eurogroup, a sovereign rating upgrade from Fitch, economic sentiment at the highest it's been for the last 40 months, the Athens Stock Exchange becoming the best-performing stock market in the European Union and Greek bond yields dropping below 9 percent for the first time since 2010 have helped give the impression Greece has overcome the worst of its problems and that recovery is within touching distance.
This is certainly the story that the government will, understandably, run with. The three parties in the coalition have taken on considerable political cost in sticking with the EU-IMF fiscal adjustment program and their only hope of survival is to convince a large enough section of the Greek population that the chosen path leads from economic catastrophe to stability and then prosperity.
In Athens, there is also a belief, which seems to be shared by decision makers in Brussels, Berlin and elsewhere, that a change in mood alone will make a significant contribution toward overcoming the crisis. This rising tide to lift Greece's boat will not only make the program more acceptable to the public, it will also make investors more buoyant, the thinking goes.

In 1966, the main store of Manila C.O.D was moved to Cubao, the first department store in the burgeoning Araneta Center. There, the spectacular thematic Christmas displays, with more complex mechanisms and with realistic fiberglass figures, continued drawing massive crowds and sales. By the 1990s, shopping preferences changed with the emergence of super malls, leaving many department stores like Manila C.O.D. with no choice but to cease its operations in 2002.
The COD is back home! The Christmas On Display shows will run from November 23 to January 6, 2019 at the Times Square Food Park, located at the corner of Times Square and Gen Roxas Avenue, Araneta Center.

UQ may at any time before considering whether to approve any proposed access to or use of UQ Facilities, require from proposed users a detailed written description of all activities to be conducted during the proposed period of use.
UQ may decide that any proposed use is not in accordance with the law, the statutory functions of the University or with this policy and consequently, the proposed use must not proceed. If UQ so decides, it will inform the proposed user and the proposed use must not occur.
2.5 Space Management
The following principles apply to the allocation and use of built space at UQ:
All built space owned by UQ is controlled by the University.
Subject to UQ's priorities and this policy, UQ faculties, schools, institutes, directorates, administrative and management divisions (Organisational Units) and individuals or groups may use, but are not the owners or controllers of built space and UQ Facilities.
Use of centrally controlled teaching space is managed by the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic).
Other than teaching space, UQ's built space and UQ Facilities are managed by Property and Facilities Division, unless otherwise determined by the Chief Operating Officer, with reference to the Capital Management Group.
The Capital Management Group will decide on the occupation of new buildings and the consequential vacated space; changes to the function or purpose of space; transferrals of vacated space from one portfolio to another; and allocation of space when competing requests are unresolved.
Space allocation is subject to availability, not guaranteed to any particular Organisational Unit and subject to change based on UQ's requirements.
Space management and allocation will ensure that UQ's regulatory obligations are met in accordance with the requirements of the Enterprise Compliance Management Framework.
Unless otherwise determined by the Chief Operating Officer, Property and Facilities Division will:
manage the use of all UQ space, other than teaching space, in accordance with UQ's priorities from time to time and this policy;
maintain a 'space bank' of general purpose space to meet unforeseen demand;
periodically review space allocation across UQ in consultation with Organisational Units; and
co-operate with Organisational Units to achieve high standards of occupational health and safety.
Organisational Units will:
ensure the operational safety of the spaces they occupy;
justify their use and allocation of space, as and when requested, and return any balance of space to Property and Facilities Division for appropriate use by other UQ users;
use their allocated space flexibly and collaboratively, and seek to maximise opportunities to share space with other Organisational Units, as far as practicable;
not charge other Organisational Units for space allocated to them, unless expressly approved by the Chief Operating Officer or Provost; and
maintain and update allocation of space on Archibus (People and Occupancy Module).
2.6 Workspace Allocation Principles
Workspace allocation principles contained in this policy do not give rise to any entitlements for UQ staff.
Space will be allocated to optimise overall utility subject to safety, functional and compliance requirements.
Space allocation may include flexible working arrangements:
where desk space is used by on campus staff, while other staff are working from home; and
other co-working approaches where desks are not assigned but desk use may be booked.
All reasonably practicable and cost effective measures will be considered to maximise convenience in space allocation decisions.
An appropriate number of small meeting rooms, booths or semi-private spaces will be provided for staff accommodated in shared or open-plan work areas to provide privacy for meetings, phone calls and activities requiring privacy.
The following principles, in conjunction with the requirements set out in Table 1, will apply to workspace allocations for academic and faculty/institute based staff:
Academic Level C, Level D, Level E, Faculty/Institute Executives¹ are eligible for a cellular office and direct reports to a member of the University Senior Executive Team (USET) may be eligible for a cellular office. In some circumstances, other staff may also be eligible for a cellular office. Allocation of a cellular office is not an absolute entitlement.
Academic Level A and B will be provided with an appropriate shared office environment. This may be varied according to the particular discipline or function of individual staff members.
Professional and Technical Faculty/Institute staff (HEW 4-10) will be provided with an open planned or shared office environment.
Casual/sessional and fractional appointments will be expected to share an office or workspace with other staff, including bookable desks or hot-desks.
Higher Degree by Research (HDR) students will be provided with an open planned or shared office environment. Wherever reasonably possible, this will be in close proximity to colleagues and academic advisors.
Adjunct staff will be provided with access to hot desks where required.
Emeritus Professors who remain research active or have a teaching load may be allocated an office if approved by the Provost.
For fixed-term appointments of six months or less, the allocation of individual office space will be at the discretion of the Head of School or the employee's manager.
For leave or off campus periods of four months or more, office/desk space may be reallocated to others. When staff are on leave, or assigned to another location, their space may be used by other staff at the discretion of the Head of School or the employee's manager.
Staff working in various locations that have an office in one location will be required to share space at other locations in a hot desk or similar arrangement.

The following principles, in conjunction with the requirements set out in Table 2, will apply to workspace allocations for non-faculty/institute professional staff, including those in central divisions:
Direct reports to a member of USET may be eligible for a cellular office. Allocation of a cellular office is not an absolute entitlement. Individual allocation will be considered based on usable space availability, building configuration, services availability and discipline/function dependency. A request for a cellular office must be supported by a relevant member of USET.
Professional staff (HEW 4-10) will be provided with an open plan or shared office environment, which may vary depending upon the discipline or function of the staff.
Part-time and fractional appointments may be expected to share an office or workspace with other staff (e.g. 'hoteling' or hot-desking).

2.7 Overcrowding in Teaching and Learning Spaces
Effective risk management strategies will be implemented, including proper planning and scheduling, to avoid or minimise the risk of overcrowding in teaching and learning spaces.
Staff and students must not proceed with activities in teaching and learning spaces if there is an unacceptable safety risk.
If there is any doubt about whether activities in teaching and learning spaces pose an unacceptable safety risk, the Academic Registrar will decide the matter and give appropriate directions with which UQ staff and students and invitees must comply.
2.8 Research space
Allocation of research space is subject to availability, not guaranteed to any particular Organisational Unit and subject to change based on UQ's requirements.
Allocation of research space, including shared research laboratory space, will be determined according to UQ's priorities and where applicable, relevant recognised standards.
Requests for new or refurbished research laboratory space will be assessed by Property and Facilities Division and allocated with a view to maximising the use of research activity per m2 and to encourage the maximum amount of sharing. The Capital Management Group is the governing body with respect to construction or refurbishment projects of $200,000 or more in value.
Research space will be allocated in conjunction with the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research and Innovation) and/or the relevant Executive Dean or Institute Director.
2.9 Variations to allocated space
Organisational Units, Faculties and Institutes seeking to vary the use of their allocated space must submit their request to Property and Facilities Division for assessment, who will require:
substantiation of the request by the relevant Executive Dean/Institute Director or Director of the Organisational Unit; and
final approval from the Provost or Chief Operating Officer if there is disagreement between parties for an allocation of space greater than that specified in this policy. The Provost or Chief Operating Officer will refer relevant space allocation requests relevant to section 2.5(e) to the Capital Management Group for consideration.
Organisational Units' requirements for material increases in space should be identified during annual operational planning and advised to the Chief Property Officer.

When replacing right tail light bulbs, access is made easier if you pull out the cargo net in the trunk completely before folding down the panel. Installing the conductor fusing element from a 6X25mm 25A fuse onto a 7X17mm ceramic body! It's really important to keep the panel you're sanding wet and to change your sandpaper regularly. They are very fragile systems so use caution when cleaning them. Anything else messed up other than the dynamo? Note also that circuit resistances drop voltage, so the resistance in the current path may also be located by voltage measurements, but this may not give a precise location. We then shot back to the garage to get the car ready for its first start in about 20 years. The best way to inspect your sanding, buffing and polishing is to check it under a fluorescent light.
And I took off the rubber anti vibration bush and used a selection of washers as i was using the wrong length bolt. A second Fuseblock is located on inner fender. Doing so could overload the car's electrical system. Be sure it seats properly. Here are some photos - hope they help.
It needs to be clean and be free of dirt or oxidation. The seller added a new dashpad and a below-dash switch for an electric fan. You will also see the cable color codes like gray, red, white, brown, etc. That's the only job I do without music. Lap-belts for the rear seats are included in the sale but uninstalled. Any contamination or looseness will make poor connections and result in nuisance faults a driver can do without! Extra fuses and the fuse removal tool are also stored here.
If you see tiny glossy spots in the sanded surface this means there's still some orange peel and the paint needs more sanding. It is not hard to bend one of the tabs and lose your connection. I used a soft rubber sanding block it must have a similar softness as the mouse of your hand. That will certainly be an exciting, terrifying, and learning experience. An alternator conversion should be easy enough to untangle given a bit of patience. Sometime later, the temperature increased and a nuisance-blow resulted.
We pulled the spark plugs, poured a little Marvel Mystery oil down each cylinder, and debated what we should do next. Any photos or wiring diagrams would be much appreciated. Id duis nulla eu incididunt ut id exercitation non eiusmod non enim Lorem nulla ad. Washer motor , Brake Lights, Oil Pressure Indicator. Same with the 2 cars I had good luck with yours. The parcel shelf was refurbished with powder coating and new coarse-grain vinyl as depicted in the gallery.
As with any recipe, your results may vary, and you are, and will always be, in charge of your own knuckles, and future! Both are automotive aberrations with known reliability issues, so I highly recommend at the very least reworking or replacing. As far as the boat thing mentioned. This might be a keeper The first car I learned to restore was a 1966 Volvo 122S I was 16. I,ve had a fewvolvos in the past And loved them. Auxiliary lights option 20 6. These should all be free of oxidation and secured snugly with a dab of at the contact area of set-screw to wire-end and also, on the threads of the set screws!. Picture Credits to Tom P.
I think they do indeed earth through the bracket. I wouldn't worry to much if it looks like a snakes wedding under the hood as long as it works and nothing is quietly cooking under the dash. Thanks to , the circuit for Fuse 3, a circuit in which less than 4 Amps flow, originally had a 35A rated fuse specified. Volvo back home 7 fresh coats of acrylic lacquer With Acrylic lacquer you'll always get some orange peel the paint finish will look like the skin of an orange. Jesse got to work on draining the oil and changing the filter. When this occurs, particularly on Fuse 5 supplying the electric Fuel Pump , the condition is a true show stopper! I particularly have no affiliation with the the Company other than to loathe them for the automotive electrical apparitions they foisted on consumers, including unfortunately, early P1800 owners! The alternator is a delco remy , refurbished and putting out a steady 62 amps. As always, if you can supply corrections, or additional objective information or experience, I will always consider it, and consider working it into the next revision of this article.
Similarly in a vehicular electrical system, it may mean that seemingly disassociated loads are combined on a particular fuse. Ignition coils; engine control module 20 11. It all depends on if it was an internal or externally regulated alternator. That Chevy two wire job will leave it high and dry. Once the nest and all the various items that had been used to build it were cleared form the exhaust, our Volvo ran great! Sometimes after a busy day I don't have much time for the Volvo. I'm gonna replace them with Stainless steel ones later. Some aging and patina is noted in the finish, with areas of discoloration and blemishes evident.
Before you attempt on doing any work on your Volvo 122S, it is best to first read and understand this Volvo 122S. That's why you have to put on 6-7 coats of paint; With the colour sanding, buffing and polishing you'll lose 2 coats. This is a perfectly normal situation. There should be a spare spade contact on the fusebox left side. I used a 1000mm fan belt which is just perfect.
Starter motor relay 35 7. From the side, examine the curved metal wire to see if it is broken. Because I used acrylic primer the only topcoat I could use was acrylic lacquer. Its pretty simple, the loom is on the right of the Engine compartment. Electronic conversions let a switching transistor do the tough work! Picture Credits to: simplesimon Link to thread: 25a dumpy fuse Excerpt from my posting to thread: Typically, when something like intentionally different sizes is designed-in, it is for the purpose of or mistake-proofing, so that in this case, fuses of differing current values could not be inadvertently interchanged. Another example of a shorty fuse with an element of its full-size brother installed.

Q: 4-layer circuit board of GPS module design I'm designing a 4-layer PCB, containing a GPS module (u-blox NEO M9N) and a Taoglas antenna. The GPS antenna should be on the top layer, and the GPS receiver should be on the bottom layer.
Besides the GPS module, my board will have other components like a microcontroller and a CAN transiever.
Due to u-blox recommendations, one of the layers will be specifically intended for the ground plane.
The other internal layer will be used for communication signals (CAN and UART) and for supplying the ICs (all ICs are low power). The signals will start from their respective ICs and pass through the internal layer using a via(drill, hole). I did this so that there would be no communication signals in the GPS and antenna layers. I want these layers to have only tracks related to GPS signal reception.
What do you think of my design decisions? Are there problems carrying signals in an inner layer? u-blox recommends not passing signal trails near the GPS receiver.
Thank you so much
Layers:
1 (external) - Antenna;
2 (internal ) - Ground Plane;
3 (internal) - Signals;
4 (external) -  GPS MOdule.
Thanks for the answers. The board was designed and will be manufactured. The tips helped to have a good project.

A:
The GPS antenna should be on the top layer, and the GPS receiver
should be on the bottom layer.

If you can, get a through hole component for the antenna connector (either that or keep it on the same side of the board), this will allow you to keep the trace running from the antenna connector to the Ublox a continuous transmission line (the M9N needs 50Ω) from connector (switching layers with a matched transmission can be difficult as you have to match the vias, and can also incur a small loss). Make sure the trace is a 50Ω transmission line and the shorter the distance between M9N and antenna connector the better.
Also for most transmission lines (micro strip line), the ground plane needs to be directly under the microstrip line.  Here is a calculator: https://www.eeweb.com/tools/microstrip/
Also it doesn't matter as much if the signals get close to the M9N because they do anyway on the inside of the module. You can see an example of this here: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/15733 and this product works well.
On the modules that I've designed and would be the recommended stackup.
Layers: 1 (external) - GPS MOdule\Antenna\signals;
2 (internal ) - Ground Plane;
3 (internal) - Power;
4 (external) - More signals.
Also the manual recommends keeping the RF_IN trace on the top layer with a continuous ground plane underneath:

Source: https://www.u-blox.com/en/docs/UBX-19014286 pg82

The RF_IN trace on the top layer should be referenced to a suitable
ground layer.

A: What you suggest is ok, but I'm not sure why you feel the need to dedicate an entire layer to the GPS signals.  You'll want to keep the GPS antenna as short as possible and have a little clearance from other signals but there's no more of a problem having signals on the same layer than having them on an adjacent layer.  But if you want to lay your board out the way you suggest then that's up to you, the only downside might be that vias introduce a small inductance and so for high-speed signals you would want to have as few as possible.

Last week, Lily shared the music video for her latest 80s-flavored single "Say Something."
"I love watching footage where you see bands behind the scenes," she said. "We were really inspired by Womack and Womack's music video for 'Teardrops' and The Band's 'The Last Waltz.' We wanted to make something that felt classic to match the tone of the song and also showcase my friends who have all played a role in helping me make this record." Watch "Say Something" here.

3% of Americans own half the country's 265 million guns
Rick Jervis
Despite steep declines in violent crimes, an estimated 70 million firearms were added to American arsenals the past two decades, according to a new landmark study on gun ownership.
Overall, Americans own an estimated 265 million guns – more than one gun for every American adult, according to the study by researchers at Harvard and Northeastern universities. Half of those guns – 133 million – were in the hands of just 3% of American adults, so-called "super owners" who possessed an average of 17 guns each, it showed.
The survey, the most authoritative since a 1994 study posed similar questions to gun owners, is under peer-review for publication in a trade journal. Summaries of the study were released this week to the Guardian and The Trace news outlets.
The findings include:
An estimated 55 million Americans own guns.
The percentage of the U.S. population who own guns decreased slightly from 25% in 1994 to 22% last year.
Between 300,000 and 600,000 guns are stolen each year.
Gun owners tend to be white, male, conservative, and live in rural areas.
25% of gun owners in America are white or multi-racial, compared with 16% of Hispanics and 14% of African Americans.
There are an estimated 111 million handguns nationwide, a 71% increase from the 65 million handguns in 1994.
Researchers found that the top reason people owned guns was for protection from other people, even though the rate of violent crime has dropped significantly the past two decades, said Deborah Azrael, director of research at the Harvard Injury Control Research Center and one of the study's authors.
Azrael said the study tried to update numbers and trends that hadn't been reviewed in two decades. Separate reports on background checks and gun storage, based on the same survey, are scheduled to be released later this year.
"In a country where 35,000 people a year die by firearms, we haven't been able to come out with a survey on gun violence for 20 years," she said. "That's a real failure of public health and public policy."
Over the years, Congress has pulled funding from agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to deter in-depth reviews of gun violence, said Daniel Webster, a gun violence researcher at Johns Hopkins University.
The Harvard/Northeastern study is important because it examines the number of guns found in respondents' home and their motivation for owning them, he said. "People's perception of risk and need to have a gun does not correlate with their actual risk," Webster said. "That's the most important thing for us to understand."
The super owners consisted of an estimated 7.7 million Americans and owned between eight and 140 guns each. Nearly half of gun owners owned just one or two guns. Those owners merit further study to try to bring down the nation's suicide rate, Azrael said
More than half of all suicides in the USA – or about 21,000 a year – are committed with a firearm, according to the CDC.
Philip Cook, a Duke University researcher and co-author of the landmark 1994 study, said Azrael's study is important in further understanding gun deaths and the forces behind them. "The very idea that something as fundamental as many how many Americans own guns is only measured once every 20 years seems surprising," he said. "But that's the world we live in."
Azrael said she was able to tap into funding from the Fund for a Safer Future, a consortium of donors created after the 2011 shooting of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and 18 others near Tucson, Ariz. That fund was further bolstered in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting, where a gunman shot and killed 20 elementary-aged students and seven adults before shooting himself, she said.
The study was based on an online survey of nearly 4,000 Americans conducted in 2015 by market research company GfK, with a nationally representative panel of opt-in participants who are paid to complete surveys, she said.


The Webster Five Foundation announced that as part of the Web of Caring to Make a Difference program, it will donate $4,000 to Dismas House of Massachusetts, Inc. The money will go toward offsetting utility costs at the Father Brooks House, which provides a permanent housing community for Dismas House graduates and their families.
Dismas House of Massachusetts is a charitable agency whose mission is to reconcile former prisoners to society and society to former prisoners. They manage a network of housing and social services that provide a unique approach to ensure the success of the homeless and former prisoners in Central MA. They seek to offer a safety net and social network for participants through a combination of targeted resources developed by staff, oversights and strategic planning. Programming at Dismas' Father Brooks House aims to combat numerous pressing social issues currently afflicting Central Massachusetts.


The summer driver syndrome is out in full blossom. Texting and driving doesn't make you a multitasking marvel–it makes you despicable.
This morning I had the occasion to venture out in public and join in the mass migration on the public thoroughfare. Interstate 5 is a sprawling mass of asphalt and cement, up to eight lanes wide at some points to manage all the commuter traffic through and around Sacramento. Generally, it all works when everyone has ingested the required maintenance dose of caffeine, or prescription medication and there isn't a single drop of rain on the blacktop. When the humidity increases, everyone loses their minds and drives like they are in a midwest floodplain.

The folk music festival Jacob's Ladder was founded in 1978 by British Jews Menachem and Yehudit Vinegrad, who were then new immigrants to Israel. Held every spring on the verdant shores of Nof Ginosar, festival goers often start the day with a dip in the Sea of Galilee, enjoying the imposing view of the Golan Heights' hills on the other side.
Music runs on three stages throughout the weekend. This year, there were many tributes to the recently departed blues legend B.B. King and a great deal of Anglo-American folk music, which is what Jacob's Ladder is famous for. There may not be an instantly identifiable reason why Israelis love Irish music, but The Bloomers, a traditional Irish Band had the dancing crowd whipped into a frenzy on Friday night. Old Man River brought psychedelic folk music on Saturday with sparse instrumentation, sparser lyrics and sporting a 1960's Bob Dylan-esque halo of curls. The Abrams Brothers are a Canadian Pop-Bluegrass band who are carrying on a four generations long family tradition of being professional musicians. They played both nights and both their sets of upbeat fiddle tunes were crowd pleasers.

In addition to enjoying every stage I stumbled upon, I was on the festival's lineup as well. Having lived in Israel for 5 months now, I decided that I should be able to sing a song in Hebrew. I chose Mode Ani, by the late Israeli songwriter Meir Ariel. A rough translation of the first verse:
I'm grateful
Before you
For all your truth and grace
And the good, and the bad, and the good
That you've done with me and with my household
And with my relatives, friends and my land
And with the whole world and its people
That you've created…
The Vinegrads are as invested in the festival as they were when they started. Menachem, bearded, with a pierced ear and a cowboy hat, told "dad jokes"on the main stage in between sets and picked up stray bits of trash on the lawns, when the need arose. Yehudit, who signs every email relating to the festival with "lots of love, Yehudit", could be seen visiting performers during their sound-checks, in a festive sun-hat, to make sure they had everything they needed and to wish them well.
Though the festival is attended by thousands from Israel's "Anglo" community, it has a distinctly Israeli feel to it as well. Shabbat candles are lit on Friday night in the lobby of the hotel. There were tomatoes, cucumbers, and hummus everywhere, and hookahs bubbling at every turn.
The main stage is nestled in the "Palmach Grove", a small eucalyptus orchard named after one of the Jewish underground military organizations that existed in British Mandate Palestine. Jewish pioneers planted the grove in the 1920's, and the Palmach was used to hold meetings and training exercises in its wooded confines; a battle was even fought there during the 1948 War of Independence. Head of the Palmach, Yigal Allon, was a native of Kibbutz Ginosar, and is buried a stone's throw from the main stage in the kibbutz's cemetery.
If Jerusalem has become tense and claustrophobic, or if Tel Aviv's southern California beach atmosphere feels just a bit vapid, Jacob's Ladder is an idyllic retreat not far from central Israel.
The festival has grown larger year after year – a trend that, between the music, the scenery, and the company, should show no sign of abating.
The winter incarnation of Jacob's Ladder will be held December 4-5, 2015 and more information can be found on their website.
