Ask around the Interweb which is the "Wurst model evahh", and the chances are you'll find no agreement. Apart from whatever the latest thing produced by any particular manufacturer by those who prefer their boxes a different colour.
One contender that often comes up among the less partisan members of the community, is Hornby's Toy Story train set. Produced as a film tie-in, the things didn't appear to sell very well judging by the numbers appearing on eBay at £19.99.
At the time, I nearly bought one. It would fit in nicely with my collection of Triang odd-balls and seemed suitably silly. I didn't, but now I wonder if I really should have. You see, I managed to buy the coach from the set for a fiver and it's an interesting piece.
If I'd been asked to design this set, I'd have looked at existing mouldings. There were some perfect wild-west models in the Triang range. Presumably, the moulds weren't available, so they had to tool up from scratch, and on the cheap too.
On the plus side, the decoration isn't bad and it looks OK in a toy-like way. The windows are blind, but the colour is quite subtle so you don't immediately notice.
Woody and Buzz on the roof are well designed and look like the film characters. I don't recall a train chase scene in the film, but I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
Underneath is where things get interesting. The apparently bogie stock is fixed after all. Massive side play for the axles and a short wheelbase ensure it will get around the oval of track supplied in the set. Kids won't be bothered and assuming it all works, then that's quite a cost saving over all those bits required for proper bogies.
Is this clever? I'd say so. You don't do a film tie-in set for rivet counters, you do it to make pots of cash. Keep the costs low and don't worry about the quality too much. Ir the kids do get hooked, at least the models are fitted with proper tension-lock couplings so the set can be expanded.
I'll be keeping an eye out for the rest of the set I think.
R2D2 building continues with one of his legs. Looking at the model before all the casing goes on, it looks pretty impressive. The weight is certainly satisfying.
To fit the part-work ethos, there's quite a lot of cast plates bolted together for the main supports. The wheel also has to be assembled and runs in rather nice chunky bearings.
No assembly is required for the motor/gearbox which I could find uses for in other models. On the back of the motor is a magnetic sensor which presumably allows the internal computer to work out how far the little droid has moved.
Everything has gone together with the exception of one of the motor plates in the foot where some homes needed to be opened out to accept the screws. I'm assuming that the right screws were used but there are quite a lot and it's not always that obvious. DeAgostini have sent spares after a request so we aren't worrying too much as long as the thing goes together.
Hint: Make sure there is a bit of slack in the wires above the motor. The casing is quite tight here and the screws had to be slackened off to allow the wire to be pulled down a bit.
A test cable allows the motor to be run, and with that gearbox, it's a torquey little beast. I couldn't grip the wheel tight enough to stall it, even on 4 volts!
Filmed a couple of years ago, here is a taster of the short of layouts I should be seeing in Canada. Not that different from most UK shows, but they can't nip down to the local model shop and pick up the bits for a layout quite so easily as we can.
All being well, tomorrow I'll be taking part in this show. I say this, because the journey will be a bit longer than normal - 3700 miles to be precise. All the way to Canada.
Some of you may remember a challenge issued by Rapido Trains for someone (me) at BRM to build a layout to take to the show. Since the model has to travel by 'plane, Didsbury Green was born. A layout that fits in a box makes a lot of sense - I hope!
Packed carefully, the model was entrusted to Canada Airways.
On the 'phone they had said that a well-labelled box should be OK in transit in the hold. My suggestion to the press office that we should have it in the cabin for "the world's highest altitude model railway show" being ignored.
Sadly, things went awry. Something punched a hole in the strong, plastic box.
Whatever it was, knocked the engine shed off and snapped the plastic pole in fixing the water crane in position.
Luckily, pretty much all survived in one piece, so a few buys from the dollar store and a lucky find of Woodland Scenics trees and flock in a craft store have allowed me to fix everything. I've even had a loco running!
If you think model railways are too expensive, the solution may be to look back in history.
That's what I'm doing this month in BRM, building a coal office using techniques and materials that date from the 1960s. The design is from a Skinley drawings, which the HMRS have allowed us to reproduce for readers to copy.
Why did I pick this model? Well, as you'll see on the DVD, we visited the plans room to look at some historic modelling and I was taken by this one as a project. There's a lot more to see though, and if you enjoyed our vintage issue, you'll love some of the material we uncover.
I have the opportunity to drive to the East of England Showground at least twice a year, and every time I pass this building, I think, "That's odd, there is a railway station totem on the side. I wonder if it is a real railway station?"
A few weeks ago, I remembered to find somewhere to stop and bag a photo to remind me to do some research.
The answer to the "Is it a station?" question is - Yes.
To be honest, I can't do better than suggest you follow this link for the historical stuff.
Nice design feature alert - the completed walls slot into the underside of the roof. A ridge provides nice positive location. You can't go wrong, and there is plenty of contact between plastic bits for the glue to do its job.
Unfortunately, as you can see, once dry the walls are still a bit wobbly. The model doesn't sit flat on the board. Bending with my fingers helped a bit, but more work was required.
I had always meant to add some internal walls since looking through a building just isn't right. While not planning on fitting a detailed interior, I had pondered on cutting an archway in the main wall - a popular feature and one you'd be able to see from outside.
On balance, I'm sticking with solid walls from a nice thick plastic sheet off cut. A bit of careful measuring means they push the exterior walls out a bit at the bottom so everything is sort of square and the model sits on ground as it should.
I don't plan to build the bungalow straight from the packet. There's no fun in that.
First improvement involves the guttering. While the bottom of the channels is modelled, the top is flat and since it's the but you see, looks odd.
No problem. Run the Olfa cutter along the middle with the aid of a small steel rule. Then open up the channel using a round needle file. It's not really filing, more gouging out a curved channel. There's probably a "proper" tool for the job but I don't have it and this works fine, which is all that matters.
A little smoothing with some sanding needles and it looks a lot better. Not sure why Airfix didn't do this themselves as the rest of the roof moulding is really rather nice and detailed.
I can't be taking out a model railway with locomotives straight from the box can I?
The P Class has been treated to a light dusting of Humbrol weathering powders. Nothing heavy, the new owner might not want a really filthy loco after all. Basically dark brown brushed everywhere, rust on the smokebox and smoke over the boiler top and cab back.
No fixatives are used, the powders are usually sticky enough as long as the model isn't handled too much. Again, the new owner could look at cleaning them off if they prefer.
To my eyes, even a light weathering has improved the model a huge amount. Pride of Sussex always looked, in the photos I've seen, a bit careworn. Never really ratty, but a working loco with all the dirt this entails.
The crew is from Monty's Models. I know a ModelU "proper" crew is available, but not when I needed them and anyway, everyone will have those and I like to be different. Poking the figures in through the cab sides was "interesting" though. Care required to keep superglue from the painted bits. I had a dry-run with the driver and was glad I did.
I've never had any interest in visiting Ireland, apart from one thing. I'd like to see the Listowel monorail reconstruction. For the minute, I'll make do with this video showing a run along the line. Operated by a diesel-powered replica locomotive, it's certainly quite something.
My understanding is that the weird looking system was much easier to lay over uneven ground than conventional tracks. It would have to be, in all other respects, it's a right pain!
Looking through the April 1978 issue of Model Boats magazine, I was shocked to trip over this advert.
£101.25 for a radio outfit would be considered strong money today. A quick look at Cornwall Model Boats shows a Hi-Tec5 channel system for £84. That's neither the cheapest set or the cheapest supplier. You get 2.4mHz for that too.
Even a 2 channel setup from Sanwa on the previous page comes in at £54.95 with 2 servos or £39 with 1.
At the time, the average house price was £13,820 - 136 RC sets. Now it's £211,756 or 2520 RC sets.
In 1978, milk was 11p a pint so 921 pint for the RC (now 88p or 95 pints for the RC).
Technology moves on and really does get cheaper. The "good old days" weren't always so good after all!
With G Rail on the horizon, I've done my best to find plenty of G gauge modelling to sit alongside the show preview. We've an extensive, and well established, outdoor layout for a start. Then moving indoors there is a micro model railway. Finally, as for many people G scale means LGB, we look at some repairs to an LGB loco - and cover LGB's 50th birthday models.
That's not say other scale are ignored as Tag meddles with his Mamod diesel, Matt builds a brake van, we look at a 16mm vertical boiler loco and the new tank from Accucraft.
Garden Rail's letter page makes a re-appearance with lots of chat even at this early stage.
And I fit a chuff pipe into my Ragleth.
This house isn't very far from where I live and every time I pass it, which is quite often as it's on the bus route into town, I think "That looks like something out of a Beal or Ahern book."
While photographing a building from the pavement is legal, it does look a bit odd to the owners. However, since the property is currently for sale and empty, I thought it a good time to bag a shot.
Pretty much a classic suburban villa, the house hasn't seen much in the way of alteration. OK, the windows would probably have been steel framed in the past, but the double glazing isn't unsympathetic.
Annoyingly, I can't find much close from either of the authors mentioned, but I'm sure this could easily be a Bilteezi kit.
Those ex-Airfix walls go together nice an quickly. Despite the age of the mouldings, there is very little flash and part fit is generally pretty good. The nearest corner is the worst and yet a touch of filler will hide the join.
Soft plastic means wobbly and slightly twisted components. A teak with fingers is mostly enough to fix any problems and I'm sure as the kit comes together, it will be strengthened by the roof. I'm tempted to add internal walls too.
Handy hint. Pay attention and make sure to identify the right bits. Or at least be ready to peel things apart if you get it wrong.
There I was, standing behind my layout at Ally Pally. A father and son arrive in front and start to chat. The youngster has a few questions, and when I look down to answer, I notice he's holding a plastic bungalow.
Over in the children's area, da kidz are being tutored on assembling simple Dapol plastic kits provided by Eileen's Emporium. Talking to the team running the stand, it was very popular and all kits from the range are in short supply as people decided to take one home to have another go.
How so I know this?
Well, looking at the rather well made model, it occurred to me that this is a kit I've never built. Right then though, I decided to rectify this omission. It just took a bit of a search to find one.
Most of us are familiar with the ex-Airfix range now manufactured in Wales by Dapol. The plastic is now very soft, presumably to save the moulds which are somewhat older than I am. Despite the age and material, the detail is sharp enough and for just over a fiver, a good looking building is promised.
Incidentally, although the card header displays the Kitmaster logo, this was introduced in 1957 by Airfix and doesn't ever seem to have been part of the Rosebud product line.
Another busy event for me. So busy in fact, that I didn't really have time to shoot some blog photos - too many magazine pictures to bag. Fortunately, my parents were happy to oblige, some of which are in the album linked below.
These breathtaking grounded van scratch built in G3 (1:22.5) scale. There's little that needs to be said about this amazing modelmaking.
Super Nellie! A giant Emett model running on a Bachmann G gauge "Percy" chassis. Kit from Smallbrook studios. It would cost the same as a cheap steam engine, but it's mahoosive!
And in other news, I need a hat.
Here I am with Manfred R. Meliset, editor of Garten Bahn magazine, and Tag Gorton, once of Garden Rail. They both have hats, should I?
Reading Ben Jones excellent X-Trains bookazine, I was fascinated by Willam Brunton's entry in the Rainhill trails - the Steam Horse.
Locomotive design being a long way from standardised, he decided to solve the problem of providing traction by powering the machine with a pair of walking legs at the back.This seemed crazy now, but at the time, everyone was working with a blank sheet of paper, probably without the benefit of actually seeing another working locomotive. Brunton just took his cue from nature.
We'll never see anything quite like this again, I thought.
But no. A couple of days later, this video appeared to me on YouTube. I don't know a whole lot about it, other than the mechanical action is fascinating.
You need to be careful on the Internet. This week, my Isle of Man Steam railway mug was involved in a catastrophic washing up incident. It's a lovely mug, I bought one after enjoying a cuppa while chatting to Colin at Union Mills Models, he served the drink up in one and since I enjoyed our meeting so much, I felt that an identical drinking vessel would be a suitable souvenir.
Anyway, I was a bit sad about breaking my mug and posted on Facebook, "My Isle of Man steam railway mug has broken. :-(".
At least that's what I meant to post. Thanks to the joys of autocorrect and a tablet computer now struggling to deal with the heavy page load the Facebook website has become, I actually posted, "My Isle of Man steam railway has broken. :-("
A few minutes later, the editor of Narrow Gauge World is in touch asking what's up. I hadn't realised my mistake and for a while wondered why he was so interested. It turns out that the post had fired up his journalistic juices and suggested yet another problem had befallen the system.
I quickly assured him that as far as I know, only my mug has an issue at the moment!
Anyway, I have a trip back to the island booked for later this year and I'm taking a car. A supply of mugs will be purchased - tea tastes so good out of them!
I like to describe my weathering methods as 70% of the results for 30% of the effort. There are many people, especially in the plastic kit modelling world, who do a better job. The effort required for their models is tremendous and most of the time, I can't be bothered. Let's face it, even the idea of spraying everything puts me off.
Anyway, the tubs are done and (I think) look OK. After the woodwork was painted, all the metal had a coat of Humbrol dirty black acrylic, which weirdly gummed up a nearly new brush destroying it.
Then some washes of black and brown Citadel weathering washes. Finally, loads of powder. Inside, there was a shot of hairspray first to ensure a really good, claggy buildup of "coal".
The finishing touch was rubbing a normal HB pencil in the wheel treads, which looks rather effective.
Another ugly bit of Alexandra Palace. Standing in the exhibitor's cafe, I spotted this cracking emergency generator.
Basically, a box topped with an exhaust, it would be a doddle to model.
Lots of places have these power backup devices nowadays, so you could tuck one into many locations. When I worked for the council, we had two, right in the centre of town. Sadly, the contractors employed to replace the power units one weekend didn't do a great job and the ground became sodden with diesel fuel.
Looking at the Grandt Line website, I really didn't like the yellow finish they show on the model. I know these things live in mines, but I associate yellow painted tubs with more modern metal versions. I thing dirty wood is the way to go.
My plan was to use the Lifecolor wood set, but when I tried the paint on the plastic, it didn't stick. Colour (should that be "color") pooled up as though I was painting on grease. I don't think it was mould release, just a shiny plastic and not very sticky paint.
The solution is of course, a spray of car primer. Grey seemed to be the best colour for worn wood and application went well, even though I didn't shake the can for 5 minutes, because I am a rebel.
After this there was no problem with paint. A couple of coats of Warm base colour followed by dry brushing with Warm light shade 2 and a bit of Cool base colour. Working quickly, the colours all blend a little to give a nice result. Not bleached, these things would surely not see enough sunlight, but brown enough that when they get filthy in the next step, the result will look OK.
Perhaps the biggest surprise at York came when I collected a couple of kits for review Stephen at Narrow Planet. Not only where they as well packaged as ever, the box label says they are for me!
Needless to say, this flattery will not affect any comments I make in the review. I've written up a few of the firms products in the past and don't expect there will be much to worry about, and the post-purchase backup is really good too.
OO6.5 (4mm scale running on 6.5mm track made popular by the Busch Feldbahn system) is pretty niche, but then narrow gauge is popular these days as ready-to-run models locos appear on the scene.
Chatting about the business, Narrow Planet are providing a useful service to tiny manufacturers by providing the on-line shop they all need, but frequently don't have the resources to run themselves. For customers, it becomes a one-stop-shop for the slightly oddball products which can make them aware of all the other goodies available in the scale. Fun, but potentially expensive!
York came with a list. A list of people I really needed to talk to. And it was quite a long list.
Fortunately, talking is something I enjoy doing at shows. If I'm honest, it's the main reason I go. So, starting in the tea room, my Dad and I identified the target stands and headed out.
Being quite a traditional show. York has very varied trade and there was certainly lots to look at. Our first purchase, on the first stand we saw, was a model boat kit. Well, I've got enough toy trains after all!
Working our way down the hall, we managed the second mezzanine before lunch called. Even refreshments called for a chat with the organiser of the Ally Pally show.
By the time the ground floor was reached, we were tired but doing well. For both of us, the favourite layout was Canalside Ironworks by David Atkinson. Nicely small, full of big building and grimly industrial, it was full of detail and is just the sort of model we'd like to be building at the moment.
I like the miniature version of the infamous "loco on a boat" scene from The Biggest Little Railway In The World, this time filmed in Crinan locks it seems. Mind you, since the layout featured a completely fictitious, but well done, railway station, we can't complain about that!
Another first was the convincing thunderstorm on Z gauge layout "Bullet Trains of Japan". No rain, but the light and sound effects worked a treat.
Those exhibiting put on a terrific show. We left at chucking out time and could have done more. The list was complete and I was so tired, a stop on the motorway for a pick-me-up coffee was required.
Good show.It's hard work though this exhibition visiting!
With my garden railway hat on, I've been looking at Faller E-Train models from the early 1980s. This system used models large enough for Playmobil figures, just like the later LGB based official system, but on 32mm track.
I remember the railbus being converted to a "proper" model in an old Railway Modeller magazine, but had largely forgotten about the system apart from that. There are some nice models, the coaches being particularly appealing. Much watching of eBay will ensue!
Anyway, this weeks video shows a garden railway built and operated using Faller e-train parts. OK, these are toys, but the low-level viewpoint give an air of realism to the scene that isn't always present with garden railways.
A bit of a find on eBay - 40 quids worth of Beatties vouchers. All for only £2!
These are pretty sophisticated with holograms and embossed paper. No numpty was going to be able to forge these and buy a Rough Rider kit with them.
You'll be pleased to know that in the spirit of investigative journalism, I have asked if ex-Beatties members of staff now risen to prominent positions in the model railway world would be willing to accept them in part payment.
The Grandt Line tubs are made from interesting plastic*. Most of the body is a really hard, even slightly brittle material but the strapping is much softer. This is important because it has to be bent around the overhang at the bottom of the body. A wash of plastic solvent seems to help with this as I only broke a couple of lengths prodding around with a screwdriver.
Working out where everything goes is awkward as there aren't any instructions and the photo on the website isn't that clear. I think I've got it about right but if not, I'll just have to not care.
*Yes, I know how nerdy this sounds, but the properties of different materials really interest me.
Spotted behind Alexandra Palace, the best guess anyone can make for the purpose of these really ugly storage tanks is that they are something to do with the ice rink.
They are properly hideous, but so modelable at the same time. Strips of plastic around a plastic tube for the main construction and ladders from a plastic kit would do. Paint grey and then lots of green staining. Finish with some graffiti and bed well into the embankment.
Bought at Lancing show for no better reason than they are interesting and cheap - a pair of On3 mine tubs are sitting on my workbench.
If you've not heard of On3 before - 7mm scale modelling 3ft gauge prototypes. The track should be 21mm apart and for no reason other than they haven't grown up enough to use metric units, our American cousins prefer to describe this as 1/4" scale.
The 'E' vans were four-wheeled brake and luggage vans fitted with lookout duckets, but otherwise entirely sealed with only two drop-sash windows at the guard's door. None of these vans survive today, and they were effectively made redundant when later passenger coaches had their own braking systems.
The primary purpose of the 'E' van was to provide luggage accommodation and braking for the original 'A' – 'D' class most of which did not have their own brakes when supplied in 1873/4. One surviving member of the class sat at the end of the Port Erin arrival platform at Douglas for many years and retained its pre-war two-tone brown livery. The Manx Northern Railway owned a pair of similar vans for use with the 'N' class carriages, but these seem to have been replaced in the 1890s and then used for goods traffic until they were scrapped in the 1920.
The latest Isle of Man model from Accucraft was always going to be an essential purchase for me. Just right to coupling on the back of a short set of 4-wheel coaches. Unsurprisingly, the model matches these perfectly. It's very nicely made in plastic with high-quality paint decoration.
The model shown is straight from the box. I haven't fitted the supplied number transfers or lamp tops. 45mm gauge wheels are fitted, but as usual, 32mm versions are included. I'd be interested to see a van fitted with these as it must look a bit top-heavy, but each to his own. In G scale, this represents 3-foot track, so I assume 32mm is sort of 2 foot.
Those lamps would benefit from LEDs inside, but the roof comes off to allow this. Keen types will fit interior detail too - Brandbright make wooden kits for the coaches and may well do one for this.
A popular model, this was number 19 sold from a stand at the Large Scale Show, and they weren't the only supplier with the model.
Full specification on the Accucraft website.
I've got a nice corner of the BRM stand, just inside the door. On show, we have Didsbury Green, four Dave Rowe Emmet style dioramas (loaned by Green Scene) and a selection of Cake Box projects. It's a good job I was happy there, because the show was so busy. On Saturday, the only place I ventured while the event was open was the stand selling sausage rolls 50 feet away. Then I scooted back to the stand to carry on chatting.
Lots of people were interested in the layout. Many wanted to know about the baseboards (ModelRailwayScenery) and the box the thing fits in for transit (Really Good Box Co.). The station building (Hornby) and engine shed (Wills craftsman kit) also generated lots of discussions as neither is straight from the box. Quite a lot of people talked DVD too and generally, they seemed to like it. Apart from one bloke who came up and announced, "I like the DVD but the latest one was crap!" - which I think was meant as banter. He went away happy after a few minutes anyway. Three people even wanted to take my photo - but I wasn't the most famous thing there.
This wasn't the only brush with telly either. Channel 5 has commissioned a new challenge series and I interviewed producer Pat Doyle. You can watch this on YouTube.
Sunday was quieter as expected, but I was still kept busy all morning. After the sausage roll run (with crisps - get me living the high life!) I did manage to stroll around to have a quick look at some layouts and traders.
This was a flying trip around though. Chatting with the team running the children's area after seeing one of their "customers" early in the day, did set me off on a bit of a buying mission. We'll come back to that in the future.
I was very tempted by possibly the maddest model railway item I've ever seen - a Marklin Tip-Kick set. Basically, a van with a couple of holes in the side, strange shape football and large footballer whose head you push so he kicks the ball. I assume the game is to get the ball in the van as it travels past on the layout. Is this why Germans are so good at penalties?
Anyway, a very busy weekend. The show looked good and people seemed to be enjoying it. Sorry there are not more photos, what I have you can find on Flickr.

I love being interviewed. So I was happy to participate when longtime reader, Lexie Oneca, invited me to respond to some questions. Lexie blogs at ChicagoNow, where this interview was originally published. And if you have any more questions for me, please feel free to share in the comments.
I'm assuming you mean this in the conventional sense. I'm Gail Brenner, PhD, psychologist, blogger, author.
3. Why do you do it?
I find that trying to answer any "why" question brings a contraction to my mind as it searches for an answer. I do what I feel moved to do, what gives me joy. It's natural.
4. How did you find your way to it?
Psychology has been an interest of mine since the beginning of college. I was always looking for answers to deeper questions and always wanted to figure out how to be truly happy. Traditional therapy didn't help much. But I was eventually led to teachers and teachings that showed me the way. I was on fire to know the truth about how things are — it was the whole focus of my time and activities.
5. How do you feel when you do it?
Very much in the flow. "I" am out of the way, so there is just the emerging of whatever happens, with no resistance. It's very spontaneous and light.
6. What is the joy that keeps you up at night?
Simply being, ideas I want to write about, ideas for new projects.
7. What is one thing you still have to practice every day?
There's nothing I feel I need to practice every day. Sometimes I'll feel stressed, which is a sign that my mind has left the present and has created an imaginary urgency about what needs to be done. It's an opportunity to unwind that thought pattern and return to the ordinary peaceful state of being. And when I'm triggered in interactions with my partner, I get to stop and feel the frustration and what's behind it.
8. What are you always searching for?
I used to search for lasting peace and happiness. In the way I experience things now, I no longer search for anything. There isn't one thing missing, nothing to add to make this moment better. It's living in loveliness.
9. What have you found after searching?
Fulfillment, abundance, deep rest, effortless peace, ease of being, joy — all without end or boundary.
10. How do you stay connected to your inner core of peace?
I am not separate from my inner core of peace. I know that who I am is not this person with a name, history, gender and personality. I have discovered that believing that I am this separate individual was the source of unhappiness. When these false ideas fall away, I know that I am spacious, whole, transparent, the life force itself. And, at the heart of it, all forms — me, others, objects — are this as well.
The fundamental fabric of the universe is peace — you can't get away from it, although your mind can be very good at convincing you otherwise. There is only life experiencing itself everywhere. It may appear that there are distinct forms, but pure reality is undivided. Knowing this is peace itself.
11. What makes you feel led or guided?
I have given up the idea that "I know." So I surrender all my personal needs and desires. I listen and let myself be led.
12. What do you do when you can't hear God (or the Universe, or Source, or your intuition) speaking to you?
I stop and find inner silence. I listen with no expectation whatsoever and with a great willingness to act on what I hear.
13. What is the difference between resistance and fear?
Resistance is saying "no" to what is. Usually, people resist because they're afraid to allow what's true to be as it is. This is the dynamic behind compulsive thinking and behavior patterns.
14. Where does the idea come from that we are broken, unworthy or undeserving?
It's conditioned usually from past experiences. If unexamined, it becomes an identity that is so painful for many people. Investigating this identity reveals that it is made up of mental stories, feelings, and physical sensations. It's learned and temporary — not real or natural — and it actually doesn't define who you are.
15. How do you move past that to connect with others on a soul level?
There are two ways. One involves a process of investigating these thought/feeling patterns until you realize that they're false. Unexamined, they have power. When you untangle them, they start to collapse. Like a scientist, you step back from them to see what they're actually made of — thoughts, feelings, physical sensations — and how they operate. Then you begin to have a choice to not let the pattern control you.
The second is the direct way. You shift your attention away from any thoughts, feelings and sensations, and you realize that these arise from aware presence, simply being. Living here, the idea of a problem or identity doesn't exist. There's only peace. Once the pattern loses power, you are available to "others" with nothing in the way.
16. How do you stop and pull back when you notice you're analyzing or comparing rather than using your "beginner's mind"?
Sometimes I feel the pain of contraction, fear, or separation that comes from mental activity such as analyzing or comparing. For me, it's a signal to stop and return attention back to its source.
17. If fear is just the ego talking, an illusion, what is the quickest way to clearing it?
Fear is an illusion, but until you know that directly in your own experience (not just as a mental concept), it's asking for your attention. Otherwise, you skip over it, which leaves it still powerful and influencing your behavior.
Here's how to approach it. Abandon the story about it and even the label of fear. Let your attention be one with the energy and physical sensations that you feel. Be completely allowing of the physical sensations with no expectation whatsoever that things will change. The sensations may still be present, but what you call "fear" is seen to be non-existent.
When you meet any emotion as friendly attention meeting physical sensation, the angst around it dissolves. Don't worry about doing this quickly. It's not about doing, it's being, and it happens outside of time.
18. Where is the sweet spot between accepting ourselves as we are and the simultaneous desire to learn and grow?
Acceptance is the most loving starting point. There is a great relief that comes from saying Yes to what is because you give up the fight with your own experience. And when you say yes to things as they are, it becomes clear what needs to change. Then the change comes from a place of love and non-resistance, rather than fear or lack.
Say that you think you're overweight. If you beat yourself up about it, your weight loss experience will be a struggle. But if you accept the fact that you eat to hide from feelings, and you choose to be more aligned with the wholeness that is your natural state, then change comes with a greater sense of ease.
If you feel moved to learn and grow, then follow that impulse, but always know that the process is about coming home to yourself and realizing that nothing was ever missing.
19. How can I practically start learning to simply be "present" without constantly trying to protect myself at the same time?
If you're protecting yourself, then fear is your present moment experience. Start there. Meet whatever is showing up in your experience with love and acceptance. This is what being present is. It's not always rainbows and butterflies. It's about allowing what is to be as it is, and it's the most loving way to be.
You get to make a choice: do you want to be ruled by fear, or any other unseen emotion, or do you want to be free?
20. When I start to notice that I'm being defensive, what is the path back to kindness and self love?
Noticing that you're being defensive is the moment of celebration because you become aware that you've been acting on an emotion — fear, guilt, shame, anger. In that moment, open to your experience without judgment, without a story. Notice the feelings and allow them to be. This is kindness and self love. You've returned home.
This was a good summary of everything I've been reading here. Now things are put together and make more sense.
Great, Omar! Glad the interview was helpful.
This is a lovely interview, and I particularly felt inspired by your answer to #8. Best wishes.
#8 is about the willingness to recognize when a thought or feeling pattern has taken hold and meeting it fully in love. This is my experience when something sticky arises, which it does at times. And each time, we can joyously return to freedom!
I have been reading and rereading Eckhart Tolle for the last year. Have you been influenced by his writing. He offers such straight forward practical advice and your work is the same.
It is exciting to see a psychologist so strongly rooted in the nature of reality, who is able to articulate everything so clearly and recognize that there is no conflict between the two things.
Welcome to you, CJ! IMHO, that integration of psychology and pure knowing is essential – and I love it!
Greetings! Now, this is an enlightening interview and the responses were telling illuminating. Numbers 13 and 20 grabbed my attention. Lately, family sickness, oppressive environment in the workplace, and founding an organization, make me act on emotions- mainly resistance, fear, anger & more. They seem like, esp. resistance, some kind of "innermost violence" in me, for lack of better word. Somehow, I feel kind of protected in a way. Be nice to know the why's and the how to get to normal.
What a joy to hear from you, Bles! It sounds like you are under a lot of stress – and when we feel stress we tend to revert to old patterns, so our conditioning rules. Take some time out, relax, and be very kind with yourself. Let go of expectation of how you think you should be reacting. Then you'll be in a better place to notice your emotions without them grabbing you so much.

NGLND XPX (or "England Expects") is a wonky-wheeled pudding-trolley of sweetmeats and savoury treats for your brain-gland. We recommend a spoonful of everything. It's all dreadfully civilised fun, and not at all serious. The science is improbable, the history inaccurate, the plots farcical and the fiction splendid.
Within these pages are old people in space, conscripted into the English military (and we have no idea how we're ever going to get the universe to smell fresh and clean again). The truth about what really happened during the Industrial Revolution is revealed, including full details of that nasty accident with the first half-dozen steam trains, most of the bankers and all of the lawyers. We have mill-owner's sons rebelling with a spot of ballet, mill-owner's daughters wantonly playing the cello and mill-owner's wives demonstrating the noble art of fainting into a small glass of something medicinal from the Orient.
The obligatory migration of the human species away from planet Earth is achieved in über-cheap Virgin Model-T spacecraft - available in any colour you like, so long as you like Virgin red. On high days and holidays we have Her Majesty The Queen meeting, greeting and sipping tea on the lawn with some very nice, very polite aliens, while in her darker moments under threat from rogue comets Her Majesty slips into a pair of rubber gloves and washes the dishes for Europe. The UFOs involved are classic flying saucers and the robots are cute, especially the short one with the trowel and the teddy bear who has to hurriedly invent some ten commandments for the human species (and he only manages four and a half, but they're good ones). Even the very few zombies involved are extraordinarily polite, upper-crust and quite out of their depth without the help of a maid.
If you love rolling around in parts of the English language that haven't seen the light of day for a long while, and if you don't mind the occasional dozy Labrador dog throwing up in his goldfish-bowl space-suit helmet, then this is the book for you. Chin-chin, tickettyboo.
* Begging Your Pardon, My Lord, But Cook's Been Eaten Again.
* Robots Knitting With Rubber Needles.
* Je Pense It's All Going Very Bien.
* Footloose, En Pas De Basque.
* In Which Mr Cadwallader Shampoos His Parrot In The Rain Using Some Very Dated Popular Science.
* Diary Of A National Service Chap.
* Blood-Curdling Screams And The Whitworth Screw-Thread.
* The Day The Earth Took Tea.
Written in British english all the way through.
Born during tiffin in the sea-side town of Cleethorpes, England, in the year nineteen-sixty. The shame and scandal forced the family to move immediately to Hong Kong. There spoke only Cantonese and some pidgin English and was a complete brat. At the end of the sixties was to be found on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland. Still a brat. Finally learned to read and write under the strict disciplinarian regime of the Nicolson Institute and one Miss Crichton. Then spent a year living in Banham Zoo in Norfolk, swapping childhood imaginary friends for howler monkeys and gibbons. Literally in the zoo, to get home he had to go through the entry turnstiles, past the wolves, past the bears and past the penguins. Didn't bother with the local school for the entire year, and school was grateful.
Found himself working for the English Civil Service. Was asked to leave by the Home Secretary's secretary's secretary's secretary's assistant. A few years of corporate life earned some more kind invitations to leave. Ran a few unfortunate companies. Went down the plug-hole with the global economy and found himself in court, bankrupt, with home, car and valuables auctioned off by H.M. Official Receivers. Lived for some years then by candlelight in a hedgerow in rural Lincolnshire as a peacenik vegan hippie drop-out. Now lives on a canal boat, narrowboat Cardinal Wolsey, rushing up and down England's canals and rivers at slightly over two miles per hour. Wrestles with badgers.
Dog person not a cat person. Dogs and cats both know this.
There's something about British humor that always tickles me so I was hoping NGLAND XPX would not disappoint. Not only was I not disappointed, I was in fact delighted with the ten short stories within. Each story, in its own way, spoke volumes about the author's view of our current status as a society. With his tongue firmly planted in his cheek, he delivers page after page of honest (I dare say to a fault) insights about the state of our "civilization." However, Hutson's truth is not told spitefully. Not at all. Because married within the lines of satire are glimpses of hope and possibility, often in the form of an animal or mechanical device. This humanity, which we humans are often lacking, can still be found in our world (and the future) if we look hard enough. This is not a book that you will be able to read while multitasking. Hutson's writing style requires your full and undivided attention, but I promise your attention will be rewarded. Highly recommend to those looking to give their brains (as well as their hearts and their funny bones) a workout. And, as for the title, I do believe, Mr. Hutson, that you have done your duty.
Pour yourself a strong tea, or whatever else keeps you awake. You'll want to be on your toes not to miss all the puns and witticisms in Ian Hutson's collection of short stories, NGLND XPX. A few of the colourful items found in this eclectic hodgepodge: zombies, robots, comical sci-fi, are there to entertain, but at the same time, force us to take a closer look at ourselves as representative of the human race.
This is a prime example of British humour at it's best.
For an adventure into the wonderfully colourful and no holds barred world of British Satire and Farce type humour, this is the book you've been waiting for.
Paddle in the gentle sea of words lapping around your mind, swim strongly through the surfers waves of words as they build to a crescendo and run desperately to keep just ahead of the tsunami of words in case they engulf you.
These stories have words like such waves and more - I enjoyed them immensely.


It will require careful consideration, planning and skilful professional advice. It will also no doubt require a jurisdiction with a politically and economically stable environment, sound legislation, low tax (or zero tax), a solid banking framework and a discreet environment. The good news is that Anguilla is such a jurisdiction and, depending on your situation, offshore investing can offer many advantages.
Anguilla offers a wide range of investment vehicles and strategies to capitalize on the advantages not offered in an investor's home country. The favourable tax rates in Anguilla are designed to promote a healthy investment environment.
Anguilla is a popular location for restructuring ownership of assets. Through trusts, foundations or corporations, individual wealth can be transferred to other legal entities.
In addition, Anguilla has laws establishing strict corporate confidentiality with serious consequences for any breach of confidentiality. Importantly, although Anguilla is a discreet jurisdiction, its laws will allow the High Court to order disclosure to third parties in cases of illegal or other wrongful activity. For the high-profile investor keeping his or her identity confidential whilst purchasing shares in a company offers a significant legal and financial advantage.
The procedure for creating an Anguilla trust is extremely simple and certainly no different from doing so in many Common Law jurisdictions. All that is required is the execution of a trust instrument appointing the trustee(s) and setting out the terms of the trust, coupled with the payment or transfer of a fund (which may be no more than nominal at the outset) to the trustee(s). There are no other formalities.
This is a vehicle that is well suited to entrepreneurs seeking to provide for the welfare of successive generations of their family, particularly but not exclusively in civil law jurisdictions, as well as the ideal vehicle for managing a "family office." Its layer of corporate personality essentially acts as a corporate veil.
The Anguilla Foundation is a versatile vehicle for Estate Planning and Asset Protection. It is different from a trust in that although it has the same rights and duties as a Trustee, it is capable in its own right to transact business and enter into legally binding contracts. It has a separate legal personality, the ability to hold assets in its own name and the ability to contract with third parties and to sue and be sued in its own name. Foundations hold assets for the benefit of beneficiaries or purposes.
With careful drafting of the Foundation's declaration of establishment or by-laws, the assets of the foundation are available for distribution to a beneficiary and not capable of being alienated or passed by bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation, or liable to be seized, sold, attached, or otherwise taken in execution by process of law. In addition, an Anguilla Foundation is irrevocable and not subject to any perpetuity periods.
In brief, the Anguilla Foundation is one of the most straightforward and yet sophisticated foundation models available in the world today.

On Monday 11th June we had a very special private concert here at Humph Hall with the legendary Eric Bogle plus the hugely popular Ami Williamson - what an evening! :-)
Eric Bogle AM (born 23 September 1944) is a Scottish folk singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Scotland, he emigrated to Australia at the age of 25, to settle near Adelaide, South Australia. Bogle's songs have covered a variety of topics, and have been performed by many artists. Two of his best known songs are "No Man's Land" (or "The Green Fields of France") and "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda", with the latter being named one of the APRA Top 30 Australian songs in 2001, as part of the celebrations for the Australasian Performing Right Association's 75th anniversary.
At Humph Hall Eric was accompanied by Pete Titchener (guitar), Emma Woolcock (violin) & Ami Williamson (piano).
Ami Williamson - A trained singer/pianist and graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, Ami Williamson has been performing in her own right for many years after her father – country music's John Williamson – first took her out on the road as a teenager.
Ami's experience as a performer has extended far and wide since her graduation from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music – in addition to playing Festivals across Australia, she was invited to entertain troops in the Solomon Islands, Iraq and Afghanistan. She's not just a talented singer and songwriter, her incredible talents also extend to playing the piano, drums and dulcimer.
Visit her web site.
"Eric Bogle has written many iconic songs that deal with the futility and waste of war. Two of these in particular, 'And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda' and 'No Man's Land (a.k.a. The Green Fields of France)', have been recorded numerous times in a dozen or more languages indicating the universality and power of their simple message. Bogle's other compositions about the First World War give a voice to the voiceless, prominence to the forgotten and personality to the anonymous as they interrogate the human experience, celebrate its spirit and empathise with its suffering." - Michael J. K. Walsh
"There's enough variety in the talents of Ami Williamson to keep milk fresh for centuries." - SMH
"Ami has created something that's not quite country, not quite folk, not quite classical and not quite pop, but an exciting mix of all of the above and more." - Sunday Arts ABC
"She's toured Australia several times over. She's graduated from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music and Ensemble Acting Studios. Daughter of Australian music legend John Williamson, Ami is an artist in her own right and bringing audiences to their feet!" - The Canberra Times

Home/Free Agency
16 best value free agents the NY Jets could target after Day 2
NY Jets, Cornelius Lucas / Brad Mills-USA TODAY Sports
NY Jets, J.C. Tretter / Scott Galvin-USA TODAY Sports
8. NY Jets target: David Quessenberry, OT
The Jets absolutely need to address their offensive tackle depth at some point this offseason. They could really use a proven veteran swing tackle to provide insurance behind Mekhi Becton and George Fant.
David Quessenberry is an appealing option given his experience playing both left and right tackle and his fit in a zone-heavy scheme. The 31-year-old started all 17 games for the Titans last season, but his market should be small.
7, NY Jets target: Tom Compton, OT
Some will remember Tom Compton's first stint with the Jets back in 2019 when he started five games with the team. But most might not realize that he's spent the last two years in San Francisco actually playing some pretty good football.
Compton started seven games in 2021 and finished as PFF's 16th-highest-graded offensive tackle. He has experience playing in a similar system and spent the 2020 season with Mike LaFleur and current Jets offensive line coach John Benton. This one makes all the sense in the world.
6. NY Jets target: Maxx Williams, TE
The Jets already added a tight end, and while most assume the team will shift their attention to the NFL Draft, don't rule out the possibility of adding a second tight end in free agency.
The most appealing option still on the market might just be Maxx Williams. At 6-foot-4, 252 pounds, Williams is an excellent blocking tight end who has flashed his receiving upside when given the chance. He would be an excellent value signing for any team.
5. NY Jets target: J.C. Tretter, C
Yeah, this wouldn't be a value signing. Not in the slightest. However, if the Jets are still looking to make significant upgrades in free agency, they could take advantage of a golden opportunity and target the recently released J.C. Tretter.
Tretter is legitimately a top-six or seven center in the NFL and would absolutely be an upgrade over Connor McGovern. The Jets could still cut McGovern with little dead cap meaning that this move could be on the table.

Thanks to the endless parade of talking heads, these expressions are plumb wore out (I just had to do that). When you don't have anything substantive to say, or you haven't prepared, these clichés come in handy. Many of our clients will respond to our feedback on eliminating clichés by saying that it's important that they sound casual and conversational. That's fine. You can still appear easy-going without uttering one of the five bizblabs above. There is a difference between conversational speaking in which you avoid fancy, ivory-tower-sounding words and sleep-inducing catch phrases.
Do your audience a favor and delete these expressions from your memory.

The other day I received an email about email. Well that made me curious, so I clicked on the link to the article which turned out to be a blog post about email etiquette. As I read it, I realized that all the helpful tips could apply to public speaking. So, thanks Rick at Business Hacks, for giving me an Aha! Moment. The parts in italic are Rick's advice and the rest is my attempt to fit a square peg in a perfectly matched square hole.
1. Get to the verb. For email: Don't make people dig through a long message to reach the action items. For speaking: Don't make your audience have to wait for the key message. Tell them up front and in a concise manner the purpose of your presentation.
2. Number your issues or questions. For email: By giving each question its own line and number, you make it virtually impossible for people to ignore your multiple requests. For speaking: By providing a road map of your key points and the order you will present them, you increase the chances that your audience will actually listen to you instead of doing their grocery lists.
3. Label informational e-mails accordingly. For email: If you are sending an e-mail that has no action required, put FYI in the subject line. For speaking: Good speakers make it clear when they are simply providing information or when something important (persuasive, cautionary, punchline, etc.) is coming up. Choose your words carefully and use your voice as a way to differentiate the two.
4. Be as concise as possible. For email: Long e-mails are inconsiderate of your recipient's time and more likely to result in you not getting the prompt attention you want. For speaking: Ditto! Your seven key points and 14 supporting points are only important to you. No one in the 21st century has the attention span for you to get through it all. So do everyone a favor and be a ruthless editor. I'm reminded of a client who called me for help after a particularly negative experience in which he had created 72 slides for a 30-minute presentation and just as he was about to start, the most important audience member was called back to the office. This VIP went up to my client and said, "Sorry, I have to go. Give me the presentation in a nutshell." My client froze. He could not summarize his presentation into two sentences. Don't let this happen to you.
If I were giving out belts for public speaking, these four tips would earn you a green belt.

Being one of the most competitive people I know, I am deeply grateful for the non-competitive spirit of my 25-year yoga practice. It is mine. It is unique. It has changed and so have I. There are no rewards for doing the pose more photographically than anyone else in the room. In a culture pulsing with comparison and competition, this practice is a relief. And that is only the beginning of the benefits I experience.
What does this have to do with public speaking? Everything. Most of us hold ourselves up to some cookie cutter idea of "a great speaker." And usually we don't measure up to these ideals. When working with clients, I often spend time unwinding the anxieties we all experience: first time jitters, uncertainty, self-consciousness. Each new presentation is a new beginning and we often clutter the process with unreal expectations and desired outcomes that actually slow down our arrival at clarity, confidence, and sheer excitement to deliver.
I tell all my clients to create a "Notes to Self" folder. Each presentation, speech, conversation is a learning opportunity. What worked? What went well? What didn't? What will you change the next time? From a reminder "not to wear that too tight jacket," to "start preparing six weeks out," we begin to create a personalized and useful tool to help each of us develop and strengthen our own unique and true speaker practice. Enjoy yours.

What if we put one fuel pump/filter and (pressure regulator, if needed) in each wing right next to the tank? We could also install flow sensors to operate our electronic fuel gauges in the wings.
Each pump has its own electrical circuit and is pilot controlled, the pumps are positive shutoff, this feature will fulfill our Canadian requirement to be able to shut the fuel off from the seated position.
The fuel is drawn from each tank as the pilot see fit, eliminates the four way valve commonly used, keeps the fuel lines routed the shortest, as the engine needs a pressure system to run, low or high wing craft could utilize this configuration.
Plumb the delivery lines from the front of the wing down to the firewall, enclose fuel lines in aluminum tubing run next to cabin supports, final filter/water trap/drain engine side of firewall, then to engine.
KISS and weight are my goals, pick this apart or add to the idea, all comments are appreciated!
P.S. going to post this to the Viking site as well!
It sounds very doable. I am not sure I want the four way valve, it is expensive and there are less expensive ways to do it. My one comment would be to make sure that you do not run one tank dry and forget to switch tanks. I think I will have shutoff valves for each tank in the cabin, but when I fly I think I will have both open and draw from both tanks. But as you said it is a Canadian requirement and it will take care of several things at once.
Thanks for the comments, much like the mechanical valves it will have to be pilot managed to be safe!! other than the tubing running down the front cabin supports it keeps the fuel completely out of the cabin area and up out of potential harms way.
Gravel airstrips and gascolators under the floor pan never seemed like a good idea to me..
It's twice as likely to fail completely as the standard system .. and twice as likely to be unable to access one tank.
and the chance of having one inaccessible tank is again, a simple add (0.2+0.2 = 0.4) which is double the standard layout as before.
The basic problem is that you are making each tank dependent on a pump and a filter ... if either fails, the tank is dead.
Hmmmm, that makes total sense, this is why I post, not sure I still wouldn't build it, but I do appreciate the help, perhaps it ends up being one pump and double filters on a "T" fitting, cuts the failure rate in half for the filter failure scenario.
If I run the pumps/fuel level down equally then its about managing with half fuel capacity when one pump fails. If I go four pumps I am getting near as complex as some of the current configuration, more thought needed for sure.
Thank you for taking the time to reply to this idea!
Not to cause striff, and I understand where you are coming from Robin. I would think, and this is me thinking out loud, that with two pumps and two filters, even if they are on single tanks, that it makes it less likely of a dual failure. Is not that why aircraft have two mags? If what you are saying is true, they wouldn't mags be twice as likely to fail? If one pump or filter fails, it is possible that the other pump filter will be on the empty tank, but if they are drawn down at the same rate, and if you have at least a half hour reserve then you should be able to find a place to land. If you have pressure gauges on both pumps then you can tell if one side fails and get it taken care of, just like a mag check. Also, a lot of experiments have two fuel pumps, like the Viking comes to mind, in case one pump fails, I would think that this would be the same, just one pump per tank, so like you said if one pump fails then you only are able to draw off one tank. Just me thinking out loud, and maybe I am wrong, it happens a lot.
This is old hat on the rv sites, which I highly recommend to all builders, the smallest issue is beaten to death by cynics and wanna be experts, two pumps each side one main one backup no valves, no on off. Redundant reliable. By the way using a 1 in 10 failure number?? Is that one in ten flights the filter clogs or the pump quits?? Invest in some good walking shoes if that the standard. Clean fuel and lots of it I say.
I suggest you re-read the bit where is says "I know these are not real figures, it's just an illustration"
The rest I agree with, simplest is always best, and if there is a single point of failure, put a second one in parallel.
I would think, and this is me thinking out loud, that with two pumps and two filters, even if they are on single tanks, that it makes it less likely of a dual failure.
Its exactly the same with mags ... you put two mags and two plugs on each cyclinder BOTH mags would have to fail to cause a problem ... if you had arranged the mags with one running the left bank of cylinders (two plugs per cylinder) , the other running the right bank of cylinders EITHER mag would cause a problem if it failed, which is why we don;t do it that way.
Its not just the number of things, its how you arrange them ... more is not always better.
In practice, when flying my airplane with it's two wing tanks, I find myself ALWAYS carrying around at least 5 gallons in each tank.
Why 5 gallons in each tank? Because due to wing dihedral there can be anywhere between zero and 5 gallons in a tank and I'm not able to see it or test it's level with a fuel stick. And I never get anywhere close to empty on either tank (thus risking an in-flight engine stoppage).
5 gallons per tank, and with a tank in each wing that means 60 lbs of sloshing dead weight being carried around all the time. And that's a minimum (and I don't trust fuel gauges, especially when they're edging towards "empty" while at 3,000 AGL).
a) Plumb the right wing tank directly to the carb (keeping existing fuel pumps as described below).
b) Plumb the left wing tank directly to the right wing tank, with a fuel pump (and a check-valve) in that line. This fuel pump would be turned on/off by a switch in the cockpit and would only pump fuel from the left tank into the right tank.
c) Replace the existing Fuel Selector Valve (along with the associated fuel lines and connections inside the cockpit) with a shutoff valve on the right tank's fuel line (the left tank is "off by default" unless its pump is actively transferring fuel from it into the other tank).
Instead of a pump in each wing, an already-common practice is to use dual, inline, "fail-open" fuel pumps which are mounted on the firewall, and to only run one OR the other pump at a time (not both). This is what I have been using on my airplane since day one, and I would keep this method (before anyone cry's "what about Vapor Lock", know that this has been standard practice among Corvair powered airplanes for years).
Everything else (vents, drains, gas caps, gascolator) stays the same.
I think this would allow me to safely use ALL of the fuel in the left tank, and would eliminate much of the in-flight fuel management worries, particularly when the SUM TOTAL quantity of fuel on-board the aircraft is less than 15 gallons (for example, contrast "9 gallons in the right tank", versus the guessing game of "3? or 4? or 5? in one tank and 3? or 4? or 5? in the other tank").
That sounds like an intelligent solution to the issue of measurable reserve fuel, we all get nervous when the needle is bouncing on the "E" This will allow more complete fuel utilization without risk of an engine out when sucking one tank dry.
When you say dual, inline, fail open pumps, do you mean they are plumbed in series, one flows through the other, or parallel with one way check valves down stream so they cant back feed into the adjacent pump? Or do the pumps have one way valves built in?
For my build I am installing dual 12 gallon tanks in each wing, so if one side does fail, I would default to the same range as a stock 24 gallon capacity plane!
Michael, my fuel pumps are in series. One I call "Pump A", and the other I call "Pump B". I have an aviation-quality toggle switch on my panel that controls them. No check valves.

"No", your educated client says, "what we're doing with this vendor works because . . . " If your customer watches a "how-to" video and learns how to use your product properly or in a new application, they will be more satisfied. By continuing to put out great content on your site, social, email, etc. you continue to strengthen the relationship with the customer and often have opportunities to sell them other services or products. Confident and satisfied customers subscribe again and purchase again. Therefore the CLV increases with content marketing.
I talked about some of this in 5 Ways Content Puts Your Referral Engine In 5th Gear (read that post for more on this subject), and it certainly applies in this post as well. Through your content, your confident, satisfied client learns your sales talking points and shares them with their friends. In the meeting we were in yesterday, one of the folks in the room who are not on our staff piped in before we could, talking about how content snowballs over time to become a long-term, durable asset. We didn't even have to mention it.
And since all that great content is online and VERY share-able, when your customer refers on social media, that referral goes out to a lot more people than it would in a one-on-one setting. By using online content marketing strategies, you empower your referrer exponentially and CLV just went up quite a bit more.

@Palak30Agarwal
There were several developments in the startup space during the day on Wednesday. Here are the top startup updates of the day:
Edtech giant Byju's to acquire top coaching institute Aakash for $1 billion
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the edtech sector has received a shot in the arm. Taking digital learning a notch higher, India's biggest online education firm Byju's is set to acquire Aakash Educational Services, which owns and operates a chain of 200 offline coaching centres across the country.
According to a Bloomberg report, the deal has locked at $1 billion and is expected to be closed over the next two or three months. It will see the complete exit of Aakash founders — the Chaudhry family — while Blackstone Group, which backs the coaching brand, will swap a portion of its 37.5 percent equity in Aakash for a stake in Byju's.
An official confirmation from either party is, however, yet to come.

This is a list of subdivisions of Wales by the percentage of those professing some skills in the Welsh language in the 2011 UK census. The census did not record Welsh-speakers living outside Wales.

The census determined that 18.56% of the population could speak Welsh and 14.57% could speak, read and write in the language. The most recent Annual Population Survey (June 2020), as conducted by the Office for National Statistics, suggests that 28.6% of people in Wales aged three and over were able to speak Welsh.

Census breakdown
The Census produced a detailed breakdown of skills as:
Understands spoken Welsh (no other skills)
Speaks but does not read or write Welsh
Speaks and reads but does not write Welsh
Speaks, reads and writes Welsh
Other combination of skills; e.g. Can read but not speak.
No knowledge of Welsh.

Those with knowledge of the Welsh language
For the purpose of the first table, all combinations other than "no knowledge of Welsh" have been combined, giving a percentage of people that state they have some communication skills in the Welsh language rather than an ability to speak Welsh. The totals include children whose parents have filled in the Census details on this behalf

Those with the ability to speak Welsh
The second table includes only those people who stated in the 2011 Census that they are able to speak the Welsh language. It was these statistics that were reported by the press when the first data samples were released in 2012.

Annual Population Survey estimates

In addition to official Census data, the Annual Population Survey publishes sample-based estimates on the number of self-proclaimed Welsh speakers several times a year based on estimates for the previous year. The third table displays uses this data to show estimates for the percentage of people who say they can speak Welsh at the time of each survey, from June 2016 onwards.

This is Alt Coin season so in the next upcoming days you can expect to see more Altcoins guides, tips and tutorials from Coin Guides. With more than 1000s of Altcoins out there many of us are currently mining one or the other. Most of the Altcoins are ASIC resistant which is good and most importantly many new coins are leaning more towards NVIDIA than AMD GPUs.
Yes, NVIDIA seems to hash better than AMD in majority of Alt coins. Most of us miners know that when it comes to mining Altcoins with NVIDIA; CCMiner is the best. Forget about EWBF CUDA Zcash Miner and Ethereum Claymore miner for now. Here this post is all about CCMiner and choosing the best CCMiner version for specific coins and algorithms.
CCMiner stands for Crypto Currency Miner. It is basically a mining tool for NVIDIA. CCMiner is an open source project specifically designed for CUDA compatible GPUs and its available for both Windows as well as Linux.
There are many versions of CCMiner available in which few miners are specifically built only to mine a particular algorithm. For example Garlicoin uses Allium algorithm so only CCminer Allium version supports it. A special CCMiner developed for Raven Coin that uses X16r, CCMiner developed particularly for Cryptonight coins and much more. However there are three main CCMiner versions such as tpruvot, KlausT, alexis78 which supports majority of algorithms.
Christian Buchner version is the very first CC Miner which is no longer supported or active on GitHub.
KlausT version is a fork of tpruvot and sp-hash.
All three miners can handle the following algorithms.
With all three miners supporting these algorithms how do you decide on which miner is the most optimized and gives the best performance per watt.
Depending on one's rig setup and software one miner can perform better than the other without any crashes or hiccups. You have to work with different setups tweaking the intensity and difficulty of the miner to see which works best for you. Not only the miner but also you have to tweak your GPU clock settings to utilize the most out of your GPU.
We heard from many miners saying that that there won't be much hashrate difference among these versions. Yes, we agree that on most algorithms there won't be much hashrate differences. However there is solid proof in which a miner client performs better than the other client. For example KlausT CCMiner version hashes better in NeoScrypt than tpruvot. Recently Enemy Miner for Ravencoin seem to produce much better hashrate than tpruvot miner. But Enemy Miner is a closed source and that's a different story.
Better the hashrate, More the coins. Using What To Mine you can pick the most profitable coin to mine at the moment. You may also know how to pick the right mining pool. But do you know how to choose the best mining program or miner for specific algorithm that is fast and uses your GPUs full potential?
Here is a quick tip: We mostly use pools benchmark to see which card produces better hashrate on which algorithm and using which miner client.
In addition to this you can also check the miners page on pools where you can get the list of miner versions people are currently using. The one with maximum percentage seem to be trusted and works for many. Apart from this you can also seek help from bitcointalk and Discord community to know what others are using.
Here is the list of algorithms with CCMiner version that is known to perform better.
All the above list of miners benched, tested and seem to hash well for us. Also we plan to update this post very often whenever we find a miner that performs or hashes better than the other on a particular algorithm.
If you found out any miner that works well for you on a specific algorithm then please do comment it along with the link to mining application. We'll add it to this post. Also please feel free to comment if you'd like to make some correction or share your thoughts on this post. Until then keep hashing!
I've found that, for Neoscrypt, Palgins' miner works better and is more stable that Klaust. Even though it is aimed for timetravel, it works much better for many different algos.
There's also a new miner on the scene: CrytpoDredge.
This miner works very well for Lyra2v2, Skein and Blake2s. It comes with a dev fee, but when you look at the extra hashrate you'll be getting, it doesn't matter.
Of course, there's also the new miners out for the x16 algos, like Nevermore, Suprminer, Enemy and others, but those new algos weren't listed in your post.
Hi, Thank you for the mention. Since new coins and miners coming out every day we decided to list them based on its algorithm. Every week we write about an algorithm, list coins and along with that we'll also mention the best miners for that particular algorithm.
Also we've listed all x16r Ravencoin miners in this particular post. https://coinguides.org/ravencoin-x16r-miner-list/.


March 8 – Public Knowledge President Gigi B. Sohn said today that Congress should set a fixed amount of damages – $200 per use or a similar amount," to compensate artists whose work would be infringed under the proposed Orphan Works amendment.
"The Copyright Office's report was an excellent analysis of the issue," Sohn said, "and we agree with the majority of their recommendations." But Public Knowledge disagrees that artists should receive "reasonable compensation" for unauthorized use.
Should Congress adopt a reasonable compensation standard, Sohn said that the "safe harbor" provisions which protect non-commercial users should be expanded to include commercial users as well. That way, no payment would be due artists who emerge to request that the use of their work be stopped.
