I can't decide if I should stuff a pork roast (loin) or pork chops (loin)-- kinda on a take of Swiss-stuffed chops...so the stuffing would be a mixture of Swiss chard, porabello mushrooms, onion, garlic, bread cubes, Swiss cheese (not 100% sure on that) egg, some chicken stock (if needed). Sage? Rosemary? Fennel? Can I stuff today and cook tomorrow if I keep the stuffed meat in the fridge? I am thinking if I do the chops, to wrap them with a slice of bacon. But then, how to cook--grilled, baked? Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated.
You can refrigerate the stuffed meat if both the meat and the stuffing are cold when you put them together. With a stuffing containing so many ingredients, I''d stuff the roast rather than chops.
That's what I was thinking--roast. Thanks, Andy.

 Alfred Ritter von Hubicki (5 February 1887 – 14 July 1971) was a Hungarian-born general in the Wehrmacht of Nazi Germany during World War II.

By the time of the Anschluss of Austria in 1938 he had reached the rank of Generalmajor as the commander of the Austrian Army motorized division and transferred to the Wehrmacht with the same rank and was appointed commander of the 4th Light Division upon its formation in Vienna. The unit was renamed the 9th Panzer Division and Hubicki commanded it through the invasion of Poland in which it took part in the Battle of Jordanów and Battle of Jaroslaw. It then took part in the invasions of France and The Netherlands and Hubicki was promoted to Generalleutnant in August 1940. He then led the division in the Balkans and was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross for his role in that campaign.

He was promoted to General der Panzertruppe on 1 October 1942 and after commanding a special unit at the OKW he was appointed as the head of the German Military Mission to Slovakia. He was retired from active service in March 1945 and died in 1971.

Awards
 Order of the Iron Crown III. Class with War Decoration (19 November 1917)
 Iron Cross (1939) 2nd Class (18 September 1939) & 1st Class (23 September 1939)

Insurance Coverage for Collapse of a Building Is Narrowly Defined in California
Property damage policies insuring buildings often provide coverage for collapse of the building. Litigation has arisen regarding whether collapse coverage requires an actual collapse, or whether the policy also provides coverage for imminent collapse or substantial impairment of the structure's integrity. A recent case answers this question adversely to insureds and narrowly construes collapse coverage under California law.
The California Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, based in Los Angeles, recently decided Tustin Field Gas & Food, Inc. v. Mid-Century Ins. Co. (2017) 13 Cal.App.4th 220. In Tustin Field Gas & Food, the insured owned a gas station, and gas was dispensed from underground fiberglass tanks. (Id. at 223.)
During an inspection, the insured discovered that the "fiberglass sheath on the underside" of the tank had a "long narrow crack." (Id.) The loss occurred because the construction company negligently placed the tank on a rock next to air pockets, and the tank and rock split. (Id. at 228.) Although the inside of "the inner steel wall" of the tank remained intact, the tank was unusable until repaired. (Id. at 228.)
The court in Tustin Field Gas & Food analyzed California case law addressing collapse coverage. The insured had argued that the "substantial impairment of structural integrity" of a building triggers collapse coverage. (Id. at 228.) Tustin Field Gas & Food rejected that conclusion. The court pointed out that the policy excludes from the definition of collapse "settling, cracking, shrinkage, bulging, or expansion." (Id. at 224.) The Tustin Field Gas & Food court cited prior case law in California addressing collapse coverage, concluding that this exclusion for "settlement and the like" precludes collapse coverage where a building's structural integrity has been substantially impaired, but an actual collapse has yet to occur. (Id. at 227.)
The Tustin Field Gas & Food court also rejected the insured's argument that "public policy favors a broader definition of collapse." The insured argued that if collapse coverage is interpreted narrowly, there would be little incentive for insureds like the plaintiff to "repair lesser damage to their tanks, which could result in interim damage to the environment." (Id. at 230.) The court held that, under California Supreme Court precedents, such policy considerations would be an impermissible "public-policy-based rewrite" of the policy. (Id.)
Finally, the court stated that even under a broad interpretation of the definition of collapse, which exists where a policy covers "risks" of collapse, there would be no coverage. The Tustin Field Gas & Food court held that it reached this conclusion because the exclusion for "settling, cracking, shrinkage, bulging, or expansion" prevents coverage where there is merely a substantial impairment of structural integrity without an actual collapse. (Id. at 231.)
Under Tustin Field Gas & Food, policies providing collapse coverage—but containing an exclusion for "settling, cracking, shrinkage, bulging, or expansion" of a building—will likely not provide coverage absent actual collapse. This is a favorable opinion for insurance companies. All insureds making an insurance claim for collapse of a building should be aware of and closely analyze this opinion.

Russia probe report spurs calls for FBI surveillance changes
by: ERIC TUCKER, Associated Press
Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, left, speaks with Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., center, and Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., right, after testifying at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the Inspector General's report on alleged abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, Wednesday, Dec. 11, 2019, on Capitol Hill in Washington. (AP Photo/Andrew Harnik)
WASHINGTON (AP) — Revelations that the FBI committed serious errors in wiretapping a former Trump campaign aide have spurred bipartisan calls for change to the government's surveillance powers, including from some Republicans who in the past have voted to renew or expand those authorities.
Anger over the errors cited in this week's Justice Department's inspector general's report of the Russia investigation has produced rare consensus from Democrats and Republicans who otherwise have had sharply different interpretations of the report's findings. The inspector general said the FBI was justified in investigating ties between the campaign and Russia, but criticized how the investigation was conducted.
The report cited flaws and omissions in the government's warrant applications under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, documenting problems with a surveillance program that Democrats and civil libertarians have long maintained is opaque, intrusive and operates with minimal oversight. They've now been joined by Republicans who are irate that FBI officials did not supply key information to judges when they applied to eavesdrop on former Trump aide Carter Page.
"I'm still trying to get my arms around the proposition that a whole bunch of conservative Republicans who've logged years blocking bipartisan FISA reforms are now somehow privacy hawks," said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore.
It's unclear what steps, if any, Congress could or will take to rein in the FBI's power under the surveillance law, and it remains to be seen whether outrage over the way a Trump ally was treated will extend to less overtly political investigations.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who has recommended changes, said his office will conduct an audit of how the FBI applies for warrants from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. FBI Director Christopher Wray said the bureau is making its own changes to ensure more accuracy and completeness in warrant applications. That includes tightening up layers of review and record-keeping.
"I think we're entrusted with very significant power and authority. The FISA statute provides the FBI with absolutely indispensable tools that keep 325 million Americans safe everyday," Wray told The Associated Press on Monday. "But with that significant power and authority comes a responsibility to be scrupulously accurate and careful, and I think that's what the FBI does best."
The 1978 law authorizes the FBI to monitor the communications of people on U.S. soil they suspect of being agents of a foreign power, such as potential terrorists or spies. Unlike criminal wiretaps, the FBI need not have probable cause that a crime was committed to obtain a warrant. In Page's case, officials suspected that he was being targeted for Russian government recruitment though he was never accused by the FBI of wrongdoing.
Last year, the House Intelligence Committee gave the public an unprecedented peek into the secret process as it released dueling memos about the Page warrant, part of the partisan dispute over special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.
Most of the surveillance applications do not result in criminal charges. When they do, there's no presumed right for a defendant to see the document themselves. Judges can order prosecutors to share FISA information with defendants if they deem it necessary for challenging a search's legality, but courts consistently have said disclosing the material could expose intelligence secrets.
"The absolute lack of any potential for adversarial testing at any point in the process creates an environment where sloppiness and corner-cutting is so much more likely," said Elizabeth Goitein, who co-directs the Brennan Center for Justice's Liberty and National Security Program.
Another criticism of the surveillance court has been that it's seen as a virtual rubber-stamp for government requests, with almost all applications approved. Justice Department documents show the government filed 1,081 applications requesting electronic surveillance under FISA in 2018. One was withdrawn and only one other was rejected in full.
The requests to wiretap Page, originally made in the fall of 2016 and then renewed three times after that, included what the inspector general said were 17 flaws and omissions.
According to Horowitz, the FBI failed to update the court as it learned new information that could have undercut some of the original assertions it made about Page. Agents, for instance, did not disclose that questions had been raised about the reliability of a source whose reporting had been relied on in obtaining the warrant, nor that a Trump campaign aide had denied to an informant that anyone in the campaign was coordinating with Russia.
Those omissions are problematic, though not necessarily surprising, Goitein said.
"Investigators become wedded to their theories of the case and invested in the success of their investigations," she said.
For Republican senators, even self-proclaimed hawkish ones who supported FISA as a powerful counterterrorism tool in a post-9/11 era, the problems detailed by Horowitz were enough for them to demand change.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, invoked the specter of J. Edgar Hoover, the longest-serving FBI director whose tenure included repeated civil liberties abuses.
"I'd hate to lose the ability of the FISA court to operate at a time probably when we need it the most," Graham, R-S.C., told Horowitz. "But after your report, I have serious concerns about whether the FISA court can continue unless there is fundamental reform."
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, said he had warned for years that the FISA statute was ripe for abuse and that "it's not a question of if, but it's when and how soon will government officials get caught doing it."
Wyden said he would like to see new alliances.
"I've always felt that security and liberty are not mutually exclusive — that smart policies get you more of both and not so-so-smart policies get you less of both," he added.

Find Your Path in NYC
The NYC Difference
There are cities—and then there's New York City. What makes us different? It's the diversity. The dynamism. The ambition. The connectivity. The entrepreneurial spirit. The ecosystem of innovation. The booming tech industry. The center of culture. The center of commerce. The center of everything.
The population of the borough Brooklyn alone—roughly the size of Chicago
We're the largest city in the country, with the nation's biggest consumer base. With a gross metropolitan product (GMP) of $1.66 trillion, our economy produces more value than the entire gross state product of Texas. If NYC was a country, its economy would be the tenth-largest in the world, beating out the entire economies of countries like Canada and Russia.
These advantages create a network of opportunities that are simply unmatched—making NYC the ideal place to bring or expand your business, no matter your size or sector. And you don't have to go it alone. We're here to help you establish the critical connections you need to succeed in our diverse business ecosystem.

NYC's Resiliency
Throughout its history, New York City has always found new ways to reinvent itself. That capacity for transformation and the ability to adapt, innovate, and recover is embedded in NYC's DNA—and it's what's given the city the strength to withstand every challenge that's been thrown its way.
Defying the predictions of the naysayers, NYC has continued its growth, growing by over 629,000—nearly 8%—over the past decade, according to the 2020 census. And even after COVID, major companies—from Google to Facebook, Apple, and TikTok—are taking notice of the city's economic resiliency by investing in NYC.
The city remains a global business destination, as New York ranks #3 among US states in foreign direct investment (FDI) jobs—with the bulk of those 500K+ jobs concentrated in NYC. NYC also ranks #1 globally for FDI strategy and #2 for venture FDI.
And we're not stopping there. The mayor's historic 2021 recovery budget—at $98.7B, the largest in NYC history—makes sweeping investments in five core goals: finishing the fight against COVID-19, building on strong reserves, boosting economic growth in every neighborhood, delivering an academic and emotional recovery for every student, and keeping all communities safe.

When people think about New York, a lot comes to mind. Wall Street. Media. Skyscrapers. Real estate. And it's true that New York is the finance and media capital of the world.

Real estate developers in the region will need to focus more than ever on end-user requirements, according to a major advisory firm.
"Providing properties with value and affordability, and ensuring potential for capital appreciation of these properties in the long term will be critical success factors for the real estate sector," said Paul Arnold, Director of Business Advisory Solutions – Real Estate, Hospitality & Leisure, Ernst & Young.
According to Mohammad Dahmash, Partner, Real Estate, Hospitality and Leisure Advisory and Transaction Services, Ernst & Young, real estate developers whose capital structure does not match the financial and operational needs of the business need to review and renegotiate covenants as well as develop an appropriate financial platform that meets cash requirements.
Dahmash: The property sector had started to fall in the last quarter of 2008 and we are not surprised to see the correction in the market. This year will be a good time for companies to revisit their plans. It will be, in general, a period of transition, re-assessment and re-structuring. What we have seen in the market in terms of growth should be seen as a sign of maturity in the long run.
Is the future looking bleak for the real estate market in the UAE?
Arnold: On the contrary, large fiscal surpluses are the silver lining that will help ride out the storm quickly. Investments in regional infrastructure will continue, which bodes well for the long-term vision of the UAE and the rest of the region. In the mid to long term, the future is bright for the UAE. The underlying fundamentals of the UAE, and the region overall, are strong if we go "back to basics" in terms of understanding the key drivers for the real estate sector's success. Demographics are favourable, considering more than 60 per cent of the population within the GCC is under the age of 30 years. The increase in the working-age population in the coming years will result in greater domestic consumption and investment. The growth in tourism in the region over the next 10 years is projected to outpace the rest of the world and remain on par with the Asia-Pacific. Property laws are becoming more established and the UAE government itself is being well regarded for its pro-business mindset. It has allowed foreign ownership of companies and promoted economic diversification. Dubai is a great example of the creation of a knowledge-based economy in the Middle East.
Dahmash: We have seen significant growth in the real estate market in Dubai and the GCC. In the last quarter of 2008, we also witnessed a fall in the property sector and the stock market. The current global financial crisis has led to forced de-leveraging of Western financial institutions and resulted in the flight of foreign capital, negatively impacting the region in the short term. However, the skies are not completely dark and ominous for the region in the mid to long term. We are also of the belief that there is definitely good potential in the UAE and the GCC. The region has been able to accumulate a lot of cash and wealth in the past few years from not just oil but also its diversification into different industries, such as tourism.
Are we going to see a high level of mergers and acquisition activity in the region?
Arnold: On the near horizon, there will be a creation of opportunity funds to acquire assets at attractive rates. The government has achieved remarkable progress in investing in the nation's infrastructure in such a short period of time, improving the overall quality of life for its inhabitants. Infrastructural funds will increasingly enter this market.
Dahmash: We are already seeing the government merging some of its big companies, which is a positive step. What we have seen is the consolidation of the big companies as part of the government's efforts to take positive measures for extending credit facilities. These actions will help build greater confidence in the property sector and also between banks.
Do you believe banks are limiting home mortgages?
Dahmash: The government has taken positive measures by extending credit facilities to banks and has also guaranteed deposits. There has also been consolidation in the mortgage sector recently. These actions will build greater confidence in the property sector and also between banks, thus assisting in easing lending practices in the long run.
Institutions were very relaxed in their lending practices even in the more mature economies. They have definitely become more restrictive. There is less lending at the moment, but that will help in the long run because they are going to give this money to the credit worthy companies.
Bailouts – are they a good option for the regional property sector?
Dahmash: Today, cash is king and the region is sitting on the throne. There are accumulated surpluses to fund government spending and capital investment. Many sovereign wealth funds in the region still have substantial wealth at their disposal and the capacity to fund shortfalls, which puts this region in a unique position. Provided they have the desire to do so, this will hopefully minimise the overall depth and duration of the present downturn.
Are the measures being taken to check speculation and corruption in the market enough?
Dahmash: We must keep in mind that the Dubai real estate sector is still in its infancy, relative to more established markets around the world. Within the region, however, it is considered the most transparent. The Real Estate Regulatory Agency (Rera) has made significant progress in a relatively short period of time by establishing legislation that protects buyers. In times of economic changes, they will need to do more to restore confidence in the sector for the long term. The property market will see a change once there is a considerable amount of confidence restored. We will even see the stock market bouncing back. A lot of real estate companies are trading way below their book value. If liquidity is there in the market, confidence will be restored and the stock market will bounce back.
The classification of real estate developers under proper criteria is a step in the right direction and will mitigate the confusion in the market. Payment plans that are tied directly to construction schedules (as compared to a general timeline previously), and graver consequences for those developers who do not deliver according to plan, will restore confidence among buyers. We are also looking forward to the implementation of the Strata Law, which will help bring more clarity for owners of completed properties.
Is Rera taking all the right steps?
Dahmash: Rera is doing things in the right way. It has only been established recently and so far they have helped in regulating the market. The bottom line is that Rera is helping make the market more transparent, which would definitely help in restoring confidence in the market.
What strategies do developers need to adopt in the current market scenario?
Arnold: Developers will need to focus more than ever on end-user requirements. Providing value and affordability along with the potential for capital appreciation in the long term will be critical success factors. For those real estate developers whose capital structure does not match the financial and operational needs of the business, now is the time to review and renegotiate covenants as well as develop an appropriate financial platform that meets the cash requirements.
How is the GCC common currency going to impact the real estate sector?
Dahmash: This will only be positive for the real estate sector in the GCC. The UAE has established itself as a brand and Dubai has led the way in terms of development with Abu Dhabi now moving in that direction, too. Abu Dhabi and Dubai will eventually compete as centres of both tourism and corporate business. Dubai, as you know, has been the service centre for the GCC. The common currency will definitely ease cross-border movement for investors.
Where are the real estate funds essentially coming from?
Dahmash: The real estate funds that we see are essentially coming from the GCC, Europe and some even from America. There is good amount of cash available in the market and people are sitting and just waiting for the situation to improve. The bottom line: what we see now is a limited interest in the development side of real estate and a greater interest in the acquisition of completed properties.
What is your thought on the UAE rental market?
Dahmash: The rental market is undergoing some adjustments currently. Supported by the housing shortage in Abu Dhabi, we have a lot more people living in Dubai and commuting to Abu Dhabi. Over the medium-term, we could see more adjustments in the sector. If we go back to the main fundamentals, they are all good. Even foreign institutions and foreign funds are coming back.


Chocolate Chestnut Torte - Sweet Fresh Chestnuts – RC Farms. Now taking orders for 2017.
2 1/2 cups peeled whole chestnuts roasted.
Bring the milk almost to a boil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the chestnuts and remove the pot from the heat. Cover and let them steep to soften for 30 minutes. Drain the chestnuts, discarding the milk. Chop the chestnuts neither too fine, nor too coarse. Transfer to a medium bowl and add the almonds and chocolate, and gently stir to combine. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease a 10-inch springform pan with a little butter. Line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper, then grease the paper, using a little more butter. Set the pan aside.
Beat the remaining 8 tablespoons of the butter and 1/4 cup of the sugar together in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the chestnut mixture and stir until well combined. Set aside.
Beat the egg whites in another large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until frothy. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, beating until stiff, shiny peaks form. Fold the whites into the batter in thirds. Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the cake is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50– 60 minutes.
Let the cake cool on a rack before removing it from the pan. To remove it, invert the cake onto a small baking sheet. Remove the pan bottom and parchment paper, then invert the cake onto a cake plate. Dust the cake with powdered sugar just before serving. It's extra-lovely with dollops of unsweetened whipped cream.

New Hampshire: Live free or die.
Welcome to New Hampshire.
I-93 Northbound
Salem, New Hampshire
Massachusetts-New Hampshire Border
New Hampshire, the Granite State! Home of the Old Man of the Mountain, about which Daniel Webster himself said, "Men hang out their signs indicative of their respective trades. Shoemakers hang a giant shoe, jewelers a monster watch, and even the dentist hangs out a gold tooth; but in New Hampshire, God Almighty has hung out a sign to show that here He makes men.�
My trip to New Hampshire was decidedly interesting. Surprisingly, many people spent December 31, 1999, at home. My friend Vanya and I, however, decided to celebrate Y2K a bit differently. Forsaking the civilized world, we headed north to White Mountain National Forest, so that way when Y2K was to destroy the world, we would be okay.
It was a difficult trip, and we weren't able to complete all of our objectives. I did complete my Project 50 objectives, though.
Our first stop between home base in Boston, Massachusetts, and our camp "Fort Pahrump" eight miles south of Gorham was at the Massachusetts-New Hampshire State Line, near Salem, New Hampshire. This sign is on I-93, somewhere between 30 and 45 minutes northeast of Boston. As welcome signs on interstate highways go, this one is pretty good. While it doesn't say too much, it looks good while doing it.
One interesting thing is that it says, "Bienvenue." New Hampshire is one of the four states that border Le Québeçois, but this sign is along the southern boundary of the state. There are a couple different varieties; I don't remember the specifics but the one on I-89 at the Vermont state line has a little more on it and I think a little more French too.
Kind of interesting, isn't it? The Libertarian mecca of the United States shares a border with a state represented in Congress by an avowed socialist. Well, opposites attract, right? Ying and yang? I always thought that on the map it looks like New Hampshire and Vermont are doing 69 anyway.
Oh, just in case you were wondering, we really didn't think Y2K was going to be the end of the world but it's fun to just pretend.
Note: On the night of May 2, 2003, the Old Man of the Mountain collapsed. Gov. Benson has announced the formation of a "revitalization" task force. For more information on the loss of the Old Man, please visit the State of New Hampshire's Old Man of the Mountain site.
Concord is a quaint small town. Yes, it's just like Delaware, but New Hampshire has character and character is enough.
Concord is located in the middle of the southern third of New Hampshire, just north of where I-89 branches off from I-93 and where US-3 meets US-4. Concord was the hometown of Christa McAuliffe, one of the seven Challenger astronauts, and there is a planetarium bearing her name in town. Concord's primary thoroughfare is US-3. It is replete with small shops, although the obligatory strip mall is to the south of downtown.
The capitol is on the main drag, right across the street from Republican and Democrat state headquarters. I was in Concord during the 2000 primary campaign (they just keep getting earlier and earlier), so they were filled with Gore, Bush, Bradley, and McCain paraphernalia.
The capitol is very small. It is topped by a two-tier rotunda, a eight-sided white riser section with tall windows capped by a gilded dome. The capitol grounds are a Concord city block wide, which isn't all that wide. But New Hampshire is a Libertarian mecca where, Vanya is always fond of saying, legislators only make $200 a year ("That's the way all states should be!"). Though, it bears noting, there are three wreaths adorning the capitol when we visited it three days after Christmas, 1999.
One other thing about this picture, it's the first capitol picture I took after I realized I wasn't smiling in any of them. One of the guys I work with looked at them and mockingly said, "I conquer you, Virginia! I conquer you, Delaware!" It's a little easy to forget to do that when you're staring at a camera on a tripod in front of six lanes of traffic.

Coronavirus in Scotland: Jeane Freeman rounds on health boards over unused test capacity
Mark McLaughlin
Friday June 05 2020, 12.01am, The Times
Jeane Freeman, the Scottish health secretary, denied that she had said there was no value in testing people without symptoms
The Scottish health secretary has instructed health boards to improve testing in care homes in a stern directive that is "not for local interpretation".
Jeane Freeman has faced questions about an alleged lack of testing. Jackson Carlaw, the Scottish Conservative leader, said on Wednesday: "There are 50,000 care home workers in Scotland. If they were being routinely tested every week, a minimum of 7,000 tests a day would be being carried out, yet on Tuesday, in total, fewer than 5,000 tests were done for the whole of Scotland, and fewer than 3,000 were done the day before that. It does not add up."
Ms Freeman wrote to health boards yesterday to ask why Scotland's capacity of 15,500 tests per day was not being used. "Where

Even though she came to us with a broken toe, which ended up needing to be removed, and she had just been moved to the adoption floor right before her "glamour" photo shoot, she was friendly and very easy to handle.

Трансформа́тор Те́сли, також коту́шка Те́сли () — пристрій, винайдений Ніколою Теслою, що носить його ім'я і виконаний у вигляді трансформатора, ввімкнутого обмотками в коливальні контури, які працюють в резонансному режимі та служить для утворення високої електричної напруги (десятки кіловольтів) високої частоти (зазвичай, 20...100 кГц). Прилад було запатентовано 22 вересня 1896 року, як «Апарат для вироблення електричних струмів високої частоти і потенціалу»

Головний принцип роботи
Роботу резонансного трансформатора можна пояснити на прикладі звичайної гойдалки. Якщо її розгойдувати в режимі вимушених коливань, то максимально досягнута амплітуда буде пропорційною до прикладеного зусилля. Якщо  ж розгойдувати в режимі вільних, резонансних коливань, то при незначних зусиллях максимальна амплітуда зростає багатократно.

Так і з трансформатором Тесли — в ролі гойдалок виступає вторинний коливальний контур, а в ролі джерела прикладеного зусилля — генератор. Їх узгодженість («підштовхування» строго у потрібні моменти часу) забезпечує первинний контур або задає генератор (залежно від конструкції).

Історія створення трансформатора Тесли

Будова трансформатора Тесли
Найпростіший трансформатор Тесли складається з двох котушок — первинної LP та вторинної LS, а також розрядника F1 (часто зустрічається англійський варіант назви Spark Gap), конденсатора CP і терміналу F2. Подача живлення здійснюється від джерела змінної напруги через низькочастотний трансформатор високої напруги T1.

Первинна котушка зазвичай містить декілька витків дроту великого діаметра або мідної трубки, а вторинна — близько 1000 витків дроту меншого діаметра. Первинна котушка може бути плоскою (горизонтальною), конічною або циліндричною (вертикальною). На відміну від звичайних трансформаторів, тут немає феромагнітного осердя. Таким чином, взаємоіндукція між двома котушками є набагато меншою, ніж у трансформаторів з феромагнітним осердям. Первинна котушка разом з конденсатором утворює коливальний контур, в який включено нелінійний елемент — розрядник.

Розрядник, в простому випадку — звичайний газовий, має вигляд двох масивних електродів з регульованим проміжком. Електроди повинні бути стійкими до проходження значних струмів через електричну дугу між ними і мати ефективне охолодження.

Вторинна котушка також утворює коливальний контур, де роль конденсатора головним чином виконують ємність терміналу і власна міжвиткова ємність самої котушки. Вторинну обмотку часто покривають шаром епоксидної смоли або лаку для запобігання виникненню електричного пробою.

Термінал може бути виконаний у вигляді диска, заточеного штиря, тороїда або сфери і призначений для утворення іскрових розрядів великої довжини.

Таким чином, основою трансформатора Тесли є два взаємопов'язаних коливальних контури, що і визначає його особливі властивості та є головною його ознакою. Для повноцінної роботи трансформатора ці два коливальні контури мають бути налаштовані на одну резонансну частоту. Зазвичай в процесі налагодження підлаштовують первинний контур під частоту вторинного через зміну ємності конденсатора і числа витків первинної обмотки до отримання максимальної напруги на виході трансформатора.

Фази роботи трансформатора
Трансформатор Тесли розглянутої (найпростішої) конструкції, зображеної на принциповій схемі, працює в імпульсному режимі. Перша фаза — це зарядження конденсатора до напруги пробою розрядника. Друга фаза — генерування високочастотних коливань у первинному контурі. Розрядник, включений паралельно, замикаючи джерело живлення (трансформатор), вимикає його з контуру, інакше джерело живлення вноситиме певні втрати в первинний контур і цим знижуватиме його добротність. На практиці цей вплив може в рази зменшити довжину розряду, тому у схемі трансформатора Тесли завжди паралельно до джерела живлення ставиться розрядник.

Зарядження
Конденсатор заряджається зовнішнім джерелом високої напруги на базі підвищувального низькочастотного трансформатора T1. Ємність конденсатора вибирається таким чином, щоби разом з котушкою індуктивності вона становила резонансний контур з частотою резонансу, рівній власній частоті вторинного контуру. Але дійсна ємність відрізнятиметься від розрахункової, бо частина енергії витрачається на «накачування» другого контуру. Напруга заряду обмежена напругою пробою розрядника, яку (в разі повітряного розрядника) можна регулювати, змінюючи відстань між електродами чи їх форму. Зазвичай напруга заряду конденсатора лежить у діапазоні 2…20 кіловольт.

Генерування
Після досягнення між електродами розрядника напруги пробою в ньому виникає лавиноподібний електричний пробій газу. Конденсатор розряджається через розрядник на котушку. Під час розряду конденсатора напруга пробою розрядника різко зменшується через надлишок у газі носіїв заряду (іонів). Тому коло коливального контуру, складене з первинної котушки та конденсатора, залишається замкнутим через розрядник, і в ньому виникають високочастотні коливання. Коливання поступово затухають, переважно через втрати в розряднику і віддачу електромагнітної енергії на вторинну котушку, та тривають доти, поки струм створює достатню кількість носіїв заряду для підтримання напруги пробою розрядника істотно меншої від амплітуди коливань напруги у цьому контурі. У вторинному колі виникають резонансні коливання, що призводить до появи на терміналі високої напруги.

Ефекти, що спостерігаються при роботі трансформатора Тесли

Під час роботи котушка Тесли створює візуально гарні ефекти, пов'язані з утворенням різних видів газових розрядів.. Часто створюють трансформатори Тесли заради того, щоб подивитися на ці дивовижно гарні явища. Загалом котушка Тесли може спричиняти 4 види розрядів:
 Стримери (від ) — тьмяно світяться тонкі розгалужені канали, що містять іонізовані атоми газу й відщеплені від них вільні електрони. Протікає від термінала (або від найбільш гострих чи суттєво викривлених високовольтних частин) котушки прямо в повітря, не йдучи в землю, так як заряд рівномірно стікає з поверхні розряду через повітря в землю. Стример — це, по суті справи, видима іонізація повітря (свічення іонів), що створюється високовольтним полем трансформатора.
 Спарк (від ) — це іскровий розряд. Йде з терміналу (або з найбільш гострих, викривлених високовольтних частин) безпосередньо в землю або в заземлений предмет. Являє собою пучок яскравих, що швидко зникають або змінюють одна одну ниткоподібних, часто сильно розгалужених смужок — іскрових каналів. Також має місце особливий вид іскрового розряду — ковзний іскровий розряд.
 Коронний розряд — світіння іонів повітря в електричному полі високої напруги. Створює гарне блакитнувате світіння навколо високовольтних частин конструкції із великою кривиною поверхні.
 Дуговий розряд — утворюється у декількох випадках. Наприклад, при достатній потужності трансформатора, якщо до його терміналу близько піднести заземлений предмет, між ним і терміналом може загорітися дуга (іноді потрібно безпосередньо доторкнутися предметом до терміналу і потім розтягнути дугу, відводячи предмет на більшу відстань). Особливо це властиво ламповим конструкціям апаратів. Якщо котушка недостатньо потужна і надійна, то спровокований дуговий розряд може пошкодити її компоненти.

Часто можна спостерігати (особливо поблизу потужних котушок), як розряди йдуть не лише від самої котушки (її терміналу), але і від заземлених предметів в її бік. Також на таких предметах може виникати і коронний розряд. Інколи можна спостерігати також тліючий розряд. Цікаво зауважити, що деякі іонні хімічні речовини, нанесені на розрядний термінал, здатні міняти колір розряду. Наприклад, іони натрію змінюють звичайний колір спарка на помаранчевий, а бору — на зелений.

Робота резонансного трансформатора супроводжується характерним електричним тріском. Поява цього явища пов'язана з перетворенням стримерів в іскрові канали (див. статтю іскровий розряд), який супроводжується різким зростанням сили струму та кількості енергії, що виділяється в них. Кожен канал швидко розширюється, в ньому стрибкоподібно підвищується тиск, внаслідок чого на його границях виникає ударна хвиля. Сукупність ударних хвиль від іскрових каналів, що розширюються, породжує звук, що сприймається як «тріск» іскри.

У всіх типах трансформаторів Тесли основний елемент трансформатора — первинний і вторинний контури — залишається незмінним. Проте одна з його частин — генератор високочастотних коливань може мати різну конструкцію.

Типи котушок прийнято називати абревіатурою з назви англійською. Якщо назву необхідно сказати українською, англійську абревіатуру просто транслітерують без перекладу.

Найпоширеніші типи котушок Тесли:

SGTC (Spark Gap Tesla Coil) — трансформатор Тесли на розряднику. Найперша і «класична» конструкція (її використовував сам Н.Тесла). Як ключовий елемент використовується розрядник. У малопотужних конструкціях розрядник — просто два шматки дроту, що знаходяться на деякій відстані, а в потужних — складні обертові (роторні) розрядники. У конструкції роторного іскрового розрядника використовується електродвигун, що обертає диск з електродами, які наближаються (або просто замикають) до відповідних електродів для замикання первинного контуру. Швидкість обертання валу і розташування контактів вибираються виходячи з необхідної частоти проходження пачок коливань. Також використання обертового іскрового розрядника суттєво знижує ймовірність виникнення паразитної дуги між електродами. Трансформатори цього типу є ідеальними, якщо потрібно отримати лише велику довжину стримера.

Різновиди цього типу: ACSGTC — трансформатори, на живлення яких подається невипрямлена мережева напруга (наприклад, 220В, 50 Гц) і DCSGTC — на конденсатори подається випрямлена напруга. Це дозволяє збільшити ККД (отримати при тій-же потужності довші стримери) і зробити роботу трансформатора стабільнішою, однак потребує складніших розрахунків і ускладнює схему.

VTTC (Vacuum Tube Tesla Coil) — трансформатор Тесли на електровакуумній лампі. У цій конструкції як генератор високочастотних коливань використовуються електронні лампи. Зазвичай це потужні генераторні лампи, такі як ГУ-81, проте зустрічаються і малопотужні конструкції. Одна з особливостей — відсутність потреби у високій напрузі. Для отримання порівняно невеликих розрядів достатньо 300…600 В. Також VTTC практично не видає шуму, що з'являється при роботі котушки Тесла на іскровому розряднику. Такі трансформатори можуть працювати у неперервному режимі і утворювати товсті («жирні») стримери.

SSTC (Solid State Tesla Coil) — трансформатор Тесли, у якому як ключовий елемент використовуються напівпровідникові компоненти. Конструкція включає в себе задаючий генератор (з регульованою частотою, формою та тривалістю імпульсів) і силові ключі (потужні польові КМОН-транзистори). Даний вид котушок Тесли є найцікавішим з декількох причин: змінюючи тип сигналу на ключах, можна кардинально змінювати візуальний вигляд розряду. Також, високочастотний сигнал генератора можна модулювати звуковим сигналом, наприклад музикою — звук буде випромінюватись із самого розряду. Втім, аудіомодуляція можлива (після незначних допрацювань) і в VTTC конструкціях. До інших переваг можна віднести потребу у відносно низькій напрузі живлення і відсутність шуму при роботі.

DRSSTC (Dual Resonant Solid State Tesla Coil) — трансформатор з двома резонансними контурами, в якому як ключі використовуються напівпровідникові елементи, у переважній більшості випадків, це IGBT-транзистори. DRSSTC — найскладніший у виготовленні і налаштуванні тип трансформаторів Тесли. Характерна довжина стримерів для трансформатора цього типу трохи менша ніж у SGTC, а керованість трохи гірша, ніж у SSTC.

For those that demand the best, the Hydro-Force Injection Sprayer Pro has all the great features you've come to expect along with a new 5 qt. container that makes the best sprayer in the industry even better! You can cut your spray time in half and quickly apply carpet presprays, deodorizers, tile and grout cleaning solutions, sanitizers, protectors and more.
The Hydro-Force Injection Sprayer is based upon an injection system that consists of a specially designed valve that injects a concentrated chemical into the high-pressure water flow from the machine. Hydro-Force is designed for use with incoming water pressure of 400 PSI. The water flow is automatically reduced as it passes through the injector valve, thus reducing the pressure approximately 64%. To obtain the actual working pressure of your Hydro-Force Injection Sprayer, multiply your incoming pressure by 36%. The Hydro-Force Injection Sprayer is factory set to inject chemicals at a 1 to 8 ratio. Other chemicals may be used but should be prepared for a 1 to 8 dilution. The Hydro-Force pressure can be increased by putting a smaller jet at the end of the wand. This will, however, decrease the injection rate of your chemical. Your injection ratio may also change depending on the viscosity (thickness) of your chemical concentrate. The 1 to 8 ratio is based upon chemicals with a similar viscosity to water. The injection ratio can also be slightly affected by your main flow water temperature. This is generally not enough of a change to appreciably change the effectiveness of your system. We do, however, recommend the water temperature be kept below 200 degrees Fahrenheit, as higher temperatures can cause problems on the injection.
Hydro-Force Injection Sprayer eliminates the hassles of measuring and mixing. We recommend you keep an extra 5-quart container or two on your truck to make sure you never run out and to facilitate quick changes of your chemical containers. Remember that Hydro-Force Injection Sprayers automatically mixes at a 1 to 8 ratio. If your 5-quart container is full then that is the same as holding an 11-gallon pump sprayer of regular, ready to use pre-spray. We have found that Hydro-Force Injection Sprayers offer better penetration and overall coverage than most other sprayers. It is therefore possible to pre-spray your jobs up to 45 minutes before you reach that area to be cleaned. An effective way to use the Hydro-Force for pre-conditioning or small to medium jobs is to start at the door coming into the house, spraying all the traffic areas, working your way to the farthest point back in your job. You have then completed your pre-conditioning in just seconds and are prepared to hook up your wand and start cleaning your way out. Keep in that your Hydro-Force is spraying 3 to 4 times the amount of product your normal pump sprayer is putting out. This means you must move quickly to avoid over-applying. Protector should be applied in even, slightly overlapping strokes.

We construct an example showing that there need not be a strictly positive solution of a competing species system with diffusion and Dirichlet boundary conditions in a case unresolved by earlier work.
Differential Integral Equations, Volume 9, Number 2 (1996), 239-246.


An economy is a system of creating and exchanging goods and services. A society is a group of people that live together under an agreed set of rules called laws.
Many economists spend years attempting to predict the impact of actions on an economy, many failing because the individuals concerned reacted to events as unpredictable humans do, rather than as parts of an economic model.
However an economy is defined, the heart and soul of any discussion or examination is resources and how the people in a society use them.
Mercury believes that the use and distribution of those resources should be on an equitable and sustainable basis.
Collaboration enterprise can range from informal neighbourhood sharing to formal multi-nation organisations, and many variations in between. In many cases formal collaboration as legal entities and organisations commences with informal sharing. The sharing is driven by people needing to share or people wanting to share.
Many great ideas and initiatives have stumbled on their journey as key people depart. Those people can range from the tireless volunteer who stacks the shelves to the vision preacher who inspires others maintain involvement, and everything in between. When they leave, it is often a lack of structure that prevents the baton being passed, retaining the knowledge and memories of how things happen, and helping new people learn so they need not reinvent the wheel.
It has long been our mission to encourage and support people as they collaborate to maximise the resources that stay within their communities.
We seek to expand the vision of what could be done, and the knowledge of how it could be done, examining how others are tackling the problem, and what ways and means could be used locally.
Our work has always been diverse. For example, in the past we have worked with Monash University to offer the Australian Certificate in Co-operative Management, and the University of the South Pacific to offer the South Pacific Certificate in Enterprise Development. We have worked with peak bodies such as the Co-operative Federation of NSW to deliver training packages for boards and staff. We have worked with individual groups of people to build co-operatives and associations, watched some grow and learnt from those that were not successful.
We work with others, as opportunities permit, to showcase collaborative enterprise, with these partnerships amplifying what we could achieve on our own.
We help groups face the change and challenges of incorporation through ownership planning, and approaches to structure and governance.
In the panel below, we have provided links to some of our recent and current activities.

Velankanni Festival
Velankanni Festival in 2021 » 29 August To 8 September
Celebrated By: (Christian)
Velankanni Festival is celebrated annually from 29th August to 8th September at the renowned Roman Catholic shrine dedicated to Our lady of Good Health. This Virgin Mary Church is the 'Courdes of the East' or also popularly known as 'Sacred Arockia Madha Church' is believed to have miraculous power of healing.
Our Lady of Vailankanni church is in the small town of Vailankanni in Tamilnadu located on the shores of the Bay of Bengal 350 km south of Chennai and 12 km south of Nagapattinam on the Coromandel Coast.
"Our lady of Good Health" shrine is one of the most visited pilgrim centres in India. It is believed that one is cured of any sickness when one who offers prayers with a true faith. This shrine draws pilgrims from all over the world where not only Christians but also the people of other faiths come to this church to pray.
The history of this holy shrine dates back to the 16th century. There are mainly there legends associated with this church. The first of the apparitions in Vailankanni occurred sometime during the sixteenth century. Our Lady with her infant son first appeared to a Hindu boy who was selling milk. When the boy was resting under a tree near a pond a woman appeared to him and requested milk for her son. The boy readily agreed. On reaching his customers place he recited the incident and apologised for less milk but on inspection the man found that the milk pot was full. On reaching the spot with boy the woman reappeared and on learning that it was Mary with her son, Catholic community became elated and the tank where the apparition took place came to be called as the "Matha Kulam" or Our Lady's tank.
The second incident occurred when Our Lady appeared in front of a lame boy who was selling buttermilk and asked him for buttermilk. When the boy complied she asked the boy to give a message with a certain wealthy Catholic man in the nearby town of Nagapattinam of her appearance. The crippled leg of the boy was miraculously cured by Our Lady and he ran to give the message to the man. When the man came with the boy Our Lady appeared to both. The man erected a thatched chapel for Our Lady at the site of her second appearance.
The third event is when Mother rescued a few Portuguese merchant sailors from a violent storm, which wrecked their ship. When the merchants reached the shore of Velankanni local fishermen took them to the thatched chapel. The sailors as a mark of their tribute built a permanent chapel and dedicated the chapel to Our Lady on September 8th to celebrate the feast of her nativity.
