Businesses may use Global Trade Item Numbers (GTINs) to uniquely identify all the trade items they manufacture or sell. It is regarded as an important component in building of the GS1 system.
THE GTIN standard is a GS1 Identification Key that helps identify different trade items. This internationally unique system works in assigning GTINs to business owners, giving them easy means to identify items as they make their way through the supply chain.
The use of GTINs to identify products at varied packaging levels is common. For example, a case that contains multiple units of a single item can have a unique GTIN. Data elements such as expiry dates and lot numbers may be used to identify items that come with similar usage or production traits. Once a business assigns a GTIN to any item, it serves as a unique identity that provides information about the product and it is recognizable by all its trading partners.
The GTIN standard worked in integrating different global standards into a singular numbering space. The other standards include the International Article Number (EAN), the International Standard Book Number (ISBN), a few Universal Product Codes (UPCs), the International Standard Serial Number (ISSN), and the International Standard Music Number (ISMN).
GTINs come in different lengths. The product type and the market in which it is to be sold essentially determine the length of an item's GTIN.
The different GTIN lengths follow similar structures. They include a company's prefix, an item reference number, and a check digit. GTIN-14 includes an added component in the form of an indicator digit. Their encoding relies on different systems.
GTIN-8s are encoded in EAN-8 barcodes.
Encoding GTIN-12s is possible in GS1-128, UPC-A, and ITF-14 barcodes.
Encoding GTIN-13s is possible in EAN-13, GS1-128, and ITF-14 barcodes.
GS1, a Belgium-based not-for-profit global organization, is responsible for developing and maintaining the GTIN standard. It has local member organizations in more than 110 countries.
GS1 was founded in 1977, as the European Article Numbering (EAN) Association. The organization now has over 90 member countries. The corresponding table lists existing GTIN data structures and their former names or legacy terminologies.


Ever wonder where the satellite radio provider Sirius got its name and logo? During my research for this review I found that Sirius is in fact the name of a star also know as the Dog Star, hence the dog as their logo. After reading the trivia at the Sirius online FAQ I moved on to collect more important facts while awaiting the arrival of the Sirius Conductor.
The Sirius Conductor is one of many media devices on the market today that utilize the Z-Wave protocol. Adding Z-Wave to the Sirius Conductor enhances the user's experience by virtually bringing the radio right into the palms of their hands.
If you look at the Sirius Conductor tuner the first thing you'll notice is its size. Measuring at a slim 1″x"2.6″x3.6″ (WxHxD) the tuner is half the length of a dollar as seen in Figure 1. Also, notice that there is no visual display other than a single LED for a power indicator. This is because the LCD screen has been moved to the remote control.
The universal remote contains a three line LCD screen that is used to display the channel, artist, and the name of the song currently playing. The LCD screen also offers step-by-step instructions making installation and set up simple. Helpful troubleshooting tips are displayed when hardware is not properly configured. For example, when the antenna is not attached, the remote's LCD screen will indicate "Antenna Not Detected." While aligning your antenna make sure you take your remote with you. As you can see in Figure 2 the remote has a built in signal strength meter to help ensure you get the best possible signal. The strength meter provides measurements for both Satellite and Terrestrial transmitters.
As I already mentioned the Sirius Conductor comes with a universal remote. You are not limited to controlling Z-Wave enabled devices, however. In fact it can control up to 12 infrared(IR) devices such as your TV, A/V receiver and even Windows MCE. There are two methods for adding IR components to your remote control. The first is just like any other universal remote. In the back of the Sirius Conductor manual there is a list of four digit codes that have been organized by device type and then by manufacturer. Using these codes will save you a lot of time when configuring your devices. If you cannot find your device listed in the Sirius Conductor manual don't worry. As long as you have a remote that can control the device you will be able to teach the IR commands to the Sirius Conductor's remote as seen in Figure 3.
Z-Wave is a low power radio frequency(RF) technology that allows signals to be transmitted through walls at short distances. The Sirius Conductor remote transmits up to 100 feet at a frequency of 908MHz. On the other hand, IR uses visible light for data transmission. So you may be wondering how you would control you IR devices from areas not in the line of sight. The Sirius Conductors tuner has a built in IR blaster. An 1/8th inch mono jack lets you connect an IR emitter. The IR signals you programmed into your remote control are converted to RF and sent to the tuner where they are converted back to IR.
There are some limitations to the Sirius Conductor design. First, the remote control requires four AAA alkaline batteries that are not rechargeable. There is no way to control the tuner from the tuner itself. So if you lose the remote or if the batteries die you will not be able to control your tuner directly. There may be other options in the future such as using other Z-Wave enabled remotes. Another limitation is the lack of support for other types of Z-Wave devices.
According to Lauren Kruk Winokur, media relations manager at Sirius, the remote supports the Z-Wave metadata class. "It does not support lighting controls, but we are contemplating adding more Z-Wave control features in future products. Its physical shape is loosely based on an existing UEI remote, but is really an all-new design." The only Z-Wave enabled devices that will benefit from the Sirius Conductor's remote are those that implement the "metadata" class.
If you are a die-hard home automation enthusiast like I am, then you will probably want to control your Sirius Conductor using something other then the remote that comes with it. HomeSeer Technologies, LLC has added support to its software(v2.2) for controlling the tuner. Again there is a limitation. Since HomeSeer is a primary controller you must add the Sirius Conductor tuner to HomeSeer as a device just like you would add a light switch or receptacle. When you do this the Sirius Conductor remote must be set up as a secondary remote control. The remote will no longer be capable of controlling the tuner.
The Sirius Conductor tuner offers two types of audio outputs: an analog RCA output (red and white connectors) and a digital Toslink optical output. Sirius Satellite Radio's product development manager David Horoschak said that the optical connection provides a "48k Stereo PCM" signal. Optical connections are isolated from electrical noise. Using the optical Toslink connection will provide you with a clean signal, but if you were to use the RCA connections the quality of your audio could be hindered by nearby electrical lines.
Finally, Sirius provides a 21-foot long antenna cable attached to an Indoor/Outdoor antenna. The antenna needs to be mounted with a clear view of the sky. If this is not doable with the supplied cable then you will need to get an extender. Sirius offers a 50ft extender cable (part #: SIR-EXT50) that has a built in amplifier to combat signal loss. Remember that the remote control has a built in signal meter to help you place your antenna in the best location.
Availability: The conductor is available from many online stores and is also being sold at your local Circuit City retail store.
The built-in signal indicator makes positioning the tuner for optimum signal strength very simple. The user manual is easy to follow and very complete.
The Sirius Conductor remote only supports the metadata class and will not control any other Z-Wave device types such as lighting or thermostats.

Mississippi State Turns to T2 for All Its Parking Needs
Mississippi State University was established in 1878 as the Agricultural and Mechanical College of the State of Mississippi. As a land-grant institution, the University was founded to fulfill three broad purposes: learning, research, and service. These purposes continue to be seen today through the dedication of MSU faculty, administrators, and staff.
MSU Parking and Transit Services was housed within the Police Department until 2003, when it was separated out into its own department. Soon after, they turned to T2's Flex® software platform for permit management and enforcement. However, the rest of their parking solutions and equipment were provided by a variety of vendors, which over time started to create challenges.
Unreliable PARCS equipment became a source of major headaches for MSU Parking and Transit Services. They regularly experienced total system failures, which inconvenienced both parkers and staff, as extra enforcement officers were needed to monitor the gated lots in case the system went down.
MSU's single-space parking meters were also a burden for staff. Once a week, officers had to collect coins from each meter using a metal cart, lug the cart down to the bank, spend an hour counting coins, run them through a coin machine, and bring the cash back to the parking office. Not only was this an inefficient process, but it also took a physical toll on the officers.
Additionally, the handheld enforcement devices MSU Parking and Transit Services were using had become obsolete and were holding the department back. The devices required nightly data uploads, which prevented MSU from both monitoring real-time activity and implementing pay-by-plate or mobile payment apps.
"It didn't take long to educate yourself and know that there were a whole lot of better things out there, both from a management standpoint and a customer service standpoint," said Jeremiah Dumas, Executive Director of Transportation.
To solve these challenges, MSU Parking and Transit Services wanted to unify its operation with T2. However, the State of Mississippi had recently all but eliminated sole-source procurement, presenting yet another challenge. "We fell under the traditional procurement laws, which meant lowest and best would win," Dumas explained, which meant that MSU might not even be able to keep T2.
"We kind of took a holistic approach and looked at the market to see what all was out there. We wrote an RFP. And we had to get multiple steps of approvals," Dumas stated. After receiving approval from the local procurement office, the Mississippi Institutions Higher Learning, and the Mississippi Department of Information Technology Services, MSU was approved to award a contract for a unified solution with T2 for ten years.
"That allows us over this ten-year window to not worry about procurement and to really build our system around all the things that are great from a management standpoint and a customer service standpoint," Dumas explained.
"It's been a multi-step process, but that unified solution and that one contract has been a game-changer for us in order to modernize everything we have and really push the envelope."
Jeremiah Dumas, Executive Director of Transportation
"With the awarding of that contract, we immediately began evolving all our PARCS equipment," Dumas said. MSU Parking and Transit Services has replaced every single gate on campus with T2 PARCS equipment. They also opened a new parking garage using T2 PARCS equipment and are in the process of building another garage with Logan hardware, T2's newest PARCS line.
MSU Parking and Transit Services has also replaced all its single-space, coin-only parking meters with T2 Luke® II Pay Stations and added mobile payments. These multi-space, card-only units have eliminated the time-consuming coin collection process while integrating seamlessly with the mobile payment platform.
On the enforcement side, MSU added mobile LPR through T2 partner Genetec and upgraded from their handheld devices to iPads running the T2 Mobile Enforcement App. These two solutions work together seamlessly to provide officers with real-time data and make issuing citations as easy as the press of a button.
Lastly, MSU has added T2 FlexPort, an online portal that allows customers to purchase permits or pay a citation from any computer, tablet, or smartphone. Plus, thanks to an integration with Banner, students, faculty, and staff are able to log in with their University credentials and pay using their student accounts or via payroll deduction.
"It's been a multi-step process, but that unified solution and that one contract has been a game-changer for us in order to modernize everything we have and really push the envelope," Dumas stated.
T2's PARCS solution has made a huge difference for MSU. From a management standpoint, staff can receive notifications when a PARCS device goes down or there's a ticket jam, enabling them to quickly respond to the issue. From a customer service standpoint, "People are really appreciative of the fact they have gated parking that is reliable, where the permits work and the gates aren't up 75 percent of the time because of a gate failure," Dumas explained.
Switching to T2 Luke II Pay Stations has also been a success. Customers love the pay stations' ease of use and extend-by-phone functionality, while staff appreciate the integration with MSU's enforcement solutions. When enforcement officers look up a license plate, they are able to see whether the vehicle has paid via a pay station or mobile payment, or if it has a valid permit in Flex. "It would be so time-consuming if those were not unified, that we really couldn't do it. You couldn't use multiple technologies from an enforcement side and have it be worth the time it would take," Dumas said.
Further, Dumas has seen an evolution in MSU's visitor parking over the past several years. Previously visitors had to come into the parking office and purchase a physical permit. Now they have the option to purchase and print a permit online using FlexPort, pay on campus at a pay station, or use the mobile payment app. "All those things have been significant improvements from a customer service standpoint compared to what we used to do," Dumas stated.
Ultimately, those customer service improvements are the biggest success for MSU Parking and Transit Services, both for customers and staff. "People don't call parking and tell you what you're doing right. People call to tell you everything you're doing wrong," Dumas explained. "We receive far less calls, despite offering a far broader realm of solutions, than we ever have before. And I think that is indicative of the success we're having with offering more options."

Already packing a punch well beyond its size, this delightfully presented maisonette within easy reach of local shops, restaurants, supermarkets and businesses has the potential to excel even further on the completion of the Electric Crossrail Project in 2019.
With an excellent location, well-maintained gardens either side, a single garage and off-street parking, the property offers full value for the asking price and could suit either a young family or perhaps an investor with an eye on the buy-to-let market.
Montrose Avenue lies just over 3km north-west of the centre of Slough but would be an ideal location for anyone needing to be within easy reach of companies and businesses located on the town's trading estate. Other amenities on nearby Farnham Road include a Sainsbury's superstore, a Lidl supermarket, a selection of takeaways, a hairdressers, a bakery, a phone shop and a dry-cleaners. A BP filling station is also within easy reach while the Hershel Sports Centre is just over a kilometre from the front door. Regular services connect the railway station at Burnham with London Paddington, which is a 35-minute train ride away. For those travelling further afield, Heathrow Airport is within a half-hour drive east along the M4.
The block-paved drive to the front of the property offers off-road parking for a single vehicle, although double, decorative wrought-iron gates open onto a second separate concrete drive - bordered by a high hedge and timber fence panelling – which leads to the single, flat-roofed garage with an up-and-over door. A neat and tidy, lawned garden can be found on the west-facing side of the house, well-stocked with mature flowering shrubs, bedding plants and ornamental trees. On the east side of the property, a gate from the drive opens onto an equally well-maintained, enclosed, courtyard garden surrounded by trellising with established climbing plants. Equipped with an outside tap and security lighting, the garden also offers access to the kitchen and living room via external glass-panelled doors.
The main access to the property is via the door from the front garden which opens onto a reception hall with internal doors leading to both bedrooms, the lounge and the bathroom.
The lounge is carpeted and fitted with a feature fireplace with a white mantle framing a brass fireplace set with a living-flame gas fire. Alcoves either side of the chimney breast are ideal for larger pieces of furniture while the room includes a TV point and wall-mounted radiator. Double doors to the courtyard garden - bracket by windows either side - let in plenty of natural light.
The kitchen has a white, tiled floor with white base and wall units and shelving offering storage options above and below white worktops. White splashback tiles are fitted above cooking and preparation areas while a stainless steel sink with rinsing bowl, drainer and mixer taps in chrome is located beneath a window which also overlooks the courtyard garden. There is space and plumbing adjacent for a washer/drier while the kitchen design also incorporates an electric oven and induction hob beneath a concealed extractor.
The bathroom is also tiled throughout and fitted with a pedestal sink with separate hot and cold taps, a WC and panel bath with chrome grab handles and a shower attachment above.
Both the double bedroom and single bedroom – the latter currently used as an office with its own Ethernet and phone connection – are fitted with carpets and wall-mounted radiators. Overlooking the west-side garden, the double bedroom is also fitted with wardrobes and some overhead storage cupboards.
The property is equipped with a programmable, gas-fired central heating system with thermostat, double-glazing and with low energy lighting in all the fixed points.

LIVING INTUITIVELY: Creating a Culture that Acknowledges Death
Posted by Robyn M Fritz on March 4, 2019 at 3:48pm
By Robyn M Fritz MA MBA CHt
Abstract: Our culture fears death, which makes its inevitability harder and adds to the trauma suffered by the dying and their surviving loved ones. A solution is to create a culture that acknowledges death by establishing rituals and customs that recognize and honor a life cycle that begins at birth and continues into death and the afterlife.
While death frequently takes us by surprise, creating a culture that acknowledges its inevitability offers mind, body, and spirit support to both the dying and their grieving survivors. What could it look like to live healthy, balanced, intuitive lives that recognize they will end?
Gratitude and Previewing Goodbye
It may seem trite, and even a predictable run-around, but it really does help to practice gratitude every day for every little thing that goes well—or is at least all right, or just plain over. Gratitude doesn't mean everything is rosy: it simply means that we notice and move on. Acknowledging the simple, benign details gets us through the days—and to the far side of grief after a death occurs.
Gratitude includes appreciating those who are in our lives, even if they occasionally, or usually, aggravate us, because, hello, human! Make sure you always let your beloveds know you appreciate and will miss them when you die, even if you're just fine, because you never know.
I learned this as a kid from my dad's parents. After every annual visit they made a point of saying, "We're getting older and may die before we see you again, so know that we love you." I used to giggle at this quirky ritual: I didn't know what to make of it, and it made me uncomfortable. Then my brother died unexpectedly, followed by several beloved adults, and I realized that my grandparents were crazy smart to say their goodbyes in person. As it turned out, they both died when I wasn't around, and all I got was a funeral—and the memories of those savvy childhood farewells. So please, say goodbye before you can't, and encourage your beloveds to do the same thing.
How We Can Acknowledge Death
So how do we create a culture that acknowledges death?
A Mexican tradition that has its roots in pre-Hispanic history is Dia de los Muertos, the Day of the Dead, which is celebrated between October 31 and November 2, the days that also lump together Halloween and the Christian holidays of All Saints Day and All Souls Day. During the Day of the Dead celebration people invite their dead back to be remembered and honored, thus keeping them part of the community.
Great idea, right? Each country could build on that concept by declaring a national holiday that celebrates life and death with our living and dead beloveds. A declared holiday can create a cultural tradition in the same way that Christmas is an international tradition and the Fourth of July an American one. This holiday could free people from the religious connotations surrounding death and help us have a better relationship with it, even normalize it, instead of ignoring it or shutting it away in hospice.
What could it look like? A day off from work, a family and friends gathering, a nice meal with a place set for everyone, including the dead, and a simple ritual to say hello and goodbye. It would take the time—an entire day in our over-packed lives—to acknowledge death as part of life, honor our dead, and celebrate our mortality while contemplating what we, the living, still want to accomplish. Yes, imagine the Day of the Dead, Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving, and life coaching all rolled into one holiday where we preview goodbye while relishing the time we still have together.
I'm completely serious. As a medium I meet many of the stuck dead, people who have died but have not gone on to their afterlives, either because they're not ready, or they're holding themselves back for any number of reasons. Even if they have gone on to their afterlives, many of the dead didn't get a chance to say goodbye to their loved ones, so both sides have a harder time getting closure and moving on. It's why many people seek out mediums in the first place.
Losing beloveds is never easy. If we made recognizing the fragility of life part of our operating philosophy, then when death occurs, especially if it takes us by surprise, we would at least remember that we previewed goodbye. I've done this with my own beloveds, human and animal. I swear it works.

F1 season to start in Bahrain after Australian GP postponed
01/12/2021 mediabest sport
The season will instead start with the Bahrain Grand Prix less than four months after the Sakhir venue held two races as part of the 2020 season.
The start of the Formula One season was delayed by one week on Tuesday after the Australian Grand Prix was postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
With the race in Melbourne moved from March to November, the season will now start in Bahrain on March 28.
The Australian race, initially set to open the season on March 21, has been rescheduled to Nov. 21 with F1 organizers citing "the ongoing situation regarding COVID-19." The Chinese Grand Prix has also been postponed but no new date has been set. Strict travel restrictions for the pandemic make Australia and China among the hardest countries for F1 teams to enter.
A race has been added at the Imola track in Italy on April 18, a week after the scheduled date for the Chinese GP. There is a vacant slot on May 2, with the Portimao circuit in Portugal among the leading candidates for that weekend.
"Discussions with the promoter and authorities in China are ongoing with the potential to reschedule the race later in the season if possible." F1 said in a statement.
There is no obvious back-up date in the calendar. Races in the second half of the season are organized back-to-back in three-week blocks, putting heavy strain on team staff.
Postponing the Australian GP already means pushing back the end of the season in Abu Dhabi by a week to Dec. 12. The calendar stays at 23 races, the most ever.
Martin Pakula, the minister for tourism and major events in the Victorian state government which backs the Melbourne race, said it was a sensible decision which potentially could mean international fans attending — if Australia's borders re-open in time.
"This is the right decision and we thank Formula 1 management for their co-operation in setting a new schedule," he said. "The Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix is one of the great events in the world and we'll make sure it can be run safely and successfully in November."
The pandemic has disrupted the F1 season for a second year. Last year's race in Australia was canceled after one team member tested positive for the coronavirus. Fans were preparing to enter the circuit for Friday practice when organizers announced the cancellation.
That started a cascade of postponements and cancellations which meant the rescheduled 2020 season didn't start until July. There was a compressed 17-race schedule through December with all races in Europe or the Middle East.

Banks. Shopping centres, churches, cardboard boxes and disused cinemas: a work for every place and a place for every work. Jordi Abelló's research to find new formats and places to share his pictorial and audiovisual creation leaves no stone unturned.
The sea in winter is an idea that the mind doesn't contemplate, as the song says, and like many other tourist towns in winter Cambrils turns into a shadow of its summer self. The strong wind on the empty maritime promenade, lined with closed shops and just a few people lost in their own thoughts.
This is the melancholic and nostalgic atmosphere that Jordi Abelló (Reus, 1970) has chosen to show his latest work Pinzellades perdudes (Lost brushstrokes), an hour-long film which has been shown in the Rambla de l'Art cinema in a single showing with no audience. "As a painter I thought it should be fascinating to see what we never see in detail and in large format, to travel within the painting, making the brushstrokes stronger on the big screen to penetrate into their world. With no sound, no audience and no apparent argument I am trying to recover the essence of painting, the brushstroke and film, movement", Abelló explains. This radical exhibition experience is now available in two videos: one is a fragment of the original film and the other is a recording of the cinema during the projection.
Pinzellades perdudes is a step further in the artist's research into the exhaustion of tradition forms of exhibition and the seach for new platforms and places in which to share his work. The film is ideal to from a tryptic together with Vida and Llocs, which are two other iconic projects resulting from Abelló's innovative and adventurous research.
Vida, a videographic project looking at the origin of life from the Big Bang to the atomic bomb, managed to turn the TV department of FNAC in Illa Diagonal into an exhibition space one Thursday afternoon. "Televisions are on constantly in big department stores showing nature documentaries for everybody and for nobody, as this is the genre which results in the most sales, according to market research", says Abelló unabashed in confronting the crowds, the noise pollution and the blinding lights of the shopping centre. "Art needs to return to the real world, detach itself from institutional spaces and penetrate the every day. Exhibit where you like and when you like is my motto", he continues. Following the action, he saved 22 chapters of Vida on a number of pen drives which, despite the infinite reproducibility of video are unique works…unique and multiple like life itself.
A compulsive draughtsman, Abelló developed the Vida project from drawings which led to him identifying the embryos of aesthetic and formal vocabulary from all vanguards in enlarged images of the microscopic world. So, a mosquito becomes a Romanesque Christ Pantocrator, cells are like "Miró in movement" and the atomic explosion is a "homage to Rothko". "Television sales are like contemporary altars and when you bend down to look at the price tag it looks like you are kneeling", says Abelló, whose spirituality is as atypical as his artistic practice.
A rule-breaker and provocateur, without ever being offensive or aggressive, in Llocs his artistic message is transmitted almost clandestinely, having come into possession of the nothing less than the Sunday news sheet – one of the main channels of the Catholic church. "My wish is not to provoke but to find the most appropriate place for each work. Also, religion has always been accompanied by art", says the artist, who in this work establishes a subtle formal and conceptual parallelism between the living spaces of Christ and Van Gogh. The action, documented by photographer Lluc Queralt, took place last April in the church of Sant Pere de Reus.
For years now Abelló has been exploring places for art beyond the white cube. In 2009 he exhibited in the gorilla enclosure of Barcelona Zoo and in 2012 the 40 portraits of bankers in the Bank series, with the disinterested collaboration of the Nonaspe vulture funds, could be seen on a mobile app in certain banks which had been unknowingly turned into exhibition spaces. His fascination for the view of other living things led him to create the mantis exhibit, with scale models of around 12 centimetres. Don't miss the reaction of the mantis when you visit the project website.
"Banks, shopping centres, churches and also museums. The place influences the communication of the message. In a globalised and uniform world, you have to reclaim genuine spaces for real art", he concludes.

« A New Look For An Old Friend
Are Two-Car Teams The Secret To Success? »
Death at the race track is never a pleasant subject. Although it's a topic that is rarely discussed among drivers or even fans, it is always silently lurking in the back of everyone's mind whenever drivers are on the track. Although racing fatalities are far less common today than they were when I grew up in the sixties, they still occur and seem to shake our foundation harder than ever.
Racing deaths strike at random. They can hit some of the biggest stars along with some of the most obscure drivers in the sport. It doesn't matter.
Since 1990, just a few of the names of drivers tied to IndyCar that lost their lives on the track all fall somewhere into the spectrum between superstar and obscure. Rich Vogler, Billy Vukovich III, Jovy Marcelo, Scott Brayton, Jeff Krosnoff, Gonzalo Rodriguez, Greg Moore, Tony Renna, Paul Dana, Dan Wheldon, Justin Wilson and Bryan Clauson were all fatally injured in racing accidents.
Declaring which one hurt the most is like saying which of your children is your favorite. Each fatality is painful in their own meaningful way.
While they are all painful, I can say that one that stands out as one of the most painful to me was the day we lost Greg Moore – seventeen years ago today.
As tragic as it was to lose Dan Wheldon in his prime at the age of thirty-three, you could at least look at all he had already accomplished in his short career. While that doesn't ease the pain of his wife Susie and their two young sons Sebastian and Oliver, we as fans can take comfort in knowing how much Wheldon had already done. We were left wondering what more he could have accomplished.
With Greg Moore, we fans were left wondering what might have been. He was only twenty-four when he lost his life in a Turn Two crash at Fontana on Halloween of 1999.
Moore spent all four years of his CART career at Gerry Forsythe's Player's/Forsythe Racing with the underpowered Mercedes engine. As a twenty year-old rookie in 1996, Moore earned three podium finishes and a total of five Top-Five finishes on his way to a tenth place finish in the points standings. He won his first race in 1997 at Milwaukee and duplicated that effort in the very next race at Belle Isle. He had seven Top-Five finished that season, but also suffered eight DNF's, settling for a seventh place finish in the points.
In 1998, Moore had his best season in CART. He earned two more wins, one of which was at Rio when he made one of the finest moves on Alex Zanardi I have ever seen on a race track heading into Turn One. Altogether, Greg Moore scored two wins, six podiums and eight Top-Five finishes in a nineteen race season to finish a career high fifth in points.
The 1999 season would have ended up being Moore's last season with Forsythe. It started out with a win at Homestead and the first half of the season showed promise. But Moore faded in the second half, as the Mercedes was simply not fast enough and the team was showing poor results.
With his contract scheduled to be up at the end of the season, Moore shopped around and was signed to join Marlboro Team Penske after the 1999 season, who was coming off of a bad stretch of their own. Al Unser, Jr. would not be returning. Team Penske was going through a major overhaul for the 2000 season. They shelved the uncompetitive Penske chassis for the favored Reyanrd. Even though Penske was a shareholder in Ilmore, he left the weakened Mercedes program for Honda; and switched from Goodyear to the more competitive Firestone tires, even though Penske owned a string of Goodyear stores. Roger Penske never let his own business interests get in the way of going faster.
The only thing left was their driver lineup. With Gil de Ferran and Greg Moore signed for 2000 and beyond, Penske had an established veteran in de Feran and the promising up-and-comer in Moore. The future was about to be bright again at Team Penske.
The day before the 1999 Marlboro 500 at Fontana – the final race of the season, Greg Moore was riding his scooter through the infield parking lot. He was struck by a car and injured his right hand. He missed qualifying and had to start from the back of the field the next day, while wearing a brace on his hand after being cleared to drive Sunday morning.
On Lap Nine of the race, Moore lost control and slammed cockpit first into the Turn Two inside wall. It was one of those crashes where you feared the worse. In fact, it was eerily similar to Josef Newgarden's crash at Texas this past season. The main difference was that Newgarden got out of the car and Moore didn't.
When the TV broadcast never shows a replay, that's a bad sign. You feel like they know something that we don't. As the race went on, nary a word was said about Moore's condition except for Dr. Steve Olvey confirming that he had been flown to Loma Linda Hospital with life-threatening injuries. Later in the broadcast, our worst thoughts were confirmed. Greg Moore had succumbed to his injuries.
To us watching the broadcast; the race nor the championship no longer mattered. But to the drivers on the track, both mattered because no drivers in the race were told of Moore's death until after the race. For the record, Adrian Fernandez won the race, Max Papis was second and Christian Fittipaldi finished third. After the race, the mood became appropriately somber and sent the entire Indy car community into the offseason on a tragic note.
The loss of Greg Moore was more than just losing a driver or a good guy. Greg Moore was the face of the future for American open-wheel racing. He was all of those things – a great friend in the paddock and also outstanding with fans, as well as an excellent driver. He was the Josef Newgarden of today, except on a more accelerated basis. Moore won races in just his second year and was in the series for only four years, as opposed to five for Newgarden. Moore was also a year younger than Newgarden before signing with Penske.
The loss of Greg Moore was something that many have not gotten over yet, even though we are now seventeen years removed from it. Along with Paul Tracy, he was the pride of Canada. But Tracy represented the past while Moore was the future. The closest thing that Canada has now is James Hinchcliffe, who was twelve when Moore lost his life. For those that are too young to remember Greg Moore, I would equate him with all of the best attributes of a combination of James Hinchcliffe and Josef Newgarden – both on and off the track.
So as we go through this Halloween, please keep the memory of Greg Moore in your heart and pray for his family and friends. As I grew out of childhood, Halloween was never one of my favorite days to celebrate. It was a day when all the freaks came out. But after Halloween of 1999, the day took on a whole new meaning to me. It was definitely a day to remember.

Greg would have been a star at Indy! I would say he would have had Helio's 3 wins there for sure. Steve Olvey covers this day in detail in his book, Rapid Repsonse, which is the best book about racing I have ever read.
I too remember that day well and the sting was a bit more for me, I always liked Greg and was looking forward to seeing the first promotional shots of him in his white and orange firesuit.
A very sad loss for racing and something that likely changed the course of history for motorsports. Not sure we would have seen a Sam Hornish win titles or Wheldon even with Greg here, strange to think about!
tonelok Says:
I remember watching that race live. After seeing that crash I remember thinking, there is no way he survived that. That was one of those days I questioned why I was an INDYCAR fan. Greg was such a likable driver with immense talent. It seemed like he always had a smile . You couldn't help but feel so happy for him when he won a spot at Team Penske.
Ron Ford Says:
I remember seeing Greg Moore win at Milwaukee and thinking…… this kid is just crazy good! Thanks for posting this George.
Phil Kaiser Says:
WHAT? IndyCar (CART) actually RACED on Hallowe'en? C'mon, that must be a typo!
I was in the Turn Two stands early on the morning of First Day of qualifying at Indianapolis in 1973 when Art Pollard slammed into the outside wall of Turn One and barrel rolled towards us in Two. I was 10 and I'll never forget the way his arms freakishly moved outside the cockpit during the rolls and the fire blowing into his helmeted face as he sat in the car when the flipping was over. I was also standing on the backstretch at IMS and saw Scotty Brayton's fatal accident. NEVER did I question why I was an IndyCar fan, nary once. Were we sad? Of course we were, just like we are saddened by fatalities at tracks we weren't at. Dan and Justin's were particularly hard because I had gotten to interact with both of them and they were the BEST! But fatalities have never shaken our love for the most incredible sport in the world, just like fatalities don't shake the driver's love for their chosen occupation. It's what separates our sport from all the other games. Just my opinion….
billytheskink Says:
Thank you for this, George.
Greg Moore was probably the first racing fatality that deeply affected me, the first one that occurred when I was old enough and paying enough attention to grasp what the racing community experiences when they lose a driver. I had seen Moore race twice on the streets of Houston, where he took pole in 1998, and loss of a driver I had actually seen in person was particularly eye-opening.
What I remember more than his wreck, though, was that Moore's death was one of three in the world of sports around the same time. Earlier in the week, golfer Payne Stewart was killed in a plane crash. The day after the race in Fontana, the great Walter Payton succumbed to liver disease.
slc.sushi.guy Says:
It was Justin Wilson's death that was the most painful, for me. I remember seeing him giving a post race interview in Mid-Ohio, so full of enthusiasm, as he was fighting to gain a full-time drive, and had just scored a podium. One couldn't help but support him in his effort to get back in the series.
ballyhoo Says:
I was looking today at Coastal 181's latest newsletter and saw the new Dan Wheldon book. The thought of Dan not being here still makes me very sad. I am sorry I never saw him race live, but his death in Vegas in 2011 finally lit the fire for me to get off the couch and go see racing.
nickp91 Says:
Greg Moore would have been a champ not only in CART but also F1, had he not been killed in 1999.
don newcomb Says:
hey George. I had the pleasure of meeting greg moore and he made me a fan right after that meeting. bryan clauson I got to be friends with that's another that's been really hard on me as well.
PHXDave Says:
Nice thoughts and rememberance. I was there that day. Still sticks in my mind the helicopter flying over the stands that day, seeing the drivers reation after the race was complete. It's never easy and we move forward as fans.
NaBUru38 Says:
Uruguay hasnt forgotten about Gonzalo Rodríguez. With Santiago Urrutia losing the Indy Lights title for team orders from their rivals, we are wishing that he can find the budget to return in 2017 and continue to chasing the same dream as Gonchi.
I recommend you to watch the Gonchi documentary on Netflix. Also, the Gonzalo Rodríguez Foundation has helped to create and run the LatinNCAP crash tests.

Home Tech Limit comes to WhatsApp status videos
Limit comes to WhatsApp status videos
Matthew Cage
In these times when we are struggling with the COVID-19 outbreak, internet usage is also higher than normal since we stay at home. Many platforms had decided to make some restrictions due to the increase in usage. Now the popular messaging app WhatsApp brings limits to status videos.
Limit comes to WhatsApp status videos! Video duration will be halved
Due to the increase in usage rates, WhatsApp has recently announced that it has increased its server capacities and therefore there will be no problems. But the popular app decided to shorten the duration of WhatsApp status videos in some regions shortly after this announcement.
With this restriction that will be implemented in India in the first place, there is a 15 second limit for status videos. Before the restriction, users could share 30-second videos as status. It is claimed that this restriction may be applied in many other countries in the future.
Launched an information site for WhatsApp Corona virus
The popular application has recently set up an information site for people to have easy access to correct information after the Corona virus outbreak. It is aimed to prevent the spread of rumor information that has not been confirmed here.
Institutions such as the World Health Organization and UNICEF have supported WhatsApp in the opening of this site. You can access the site here.

Six policies to transform Britain's broken economy
Jim and Margaret Cuthbert
The UK has a grossly financialised economy, heavily overbalanced towards the South East. Our industrial sector is uncompetitive, we have uncomfortable and dangerous levels of inequality, and whole sections of our younger generation are virtually excluded from the housing market. Our National Health Service is struggling to cope with current and increasing demand on its services. If this wasn't enough, we also have to cope with the uncertainties of Brexit and the looming and inescapable problem of climate change. Against this context, the current neoliberal emphasis on shrinking the state is quite misplaced, if not dangerous. Instead, fixing these issues requires a new approach to our economy. Here are six policies that would help kick start the necessary transition.
1. Introduce a Land Value Tax
The introduction of a tax on the value of land and property would tick many boxes. Land provides a huge taxable base – it is the classic commodity that cannot run away. Taxing land would have an immediate effect taking the heat out of the South East property bubble, so helping to correct regional imbalances. It would also have a big impact on land hoarding, and could be tailored to discourage non-resident holders of land, or holders of land who are not natural persons
2. Reform public procurement
Public procurement is now widely recognised as being the driver of new technology and innovative high tech companies – witness how the US has directed its public procurement programme to transform our world and its own industrial base. But this doesn't just happen naturally. It is not enough to go to the private sector with lots of money. Instead, what is required is intelligent procurement: that is, actively identifying the needs, and driving the development process, (either within the public sector, or in close relation with the private sector), until the new innovations are ready to be rolled out. This is the opposite of how the UK's hollowed out state conducts public procurement. Initiatives like PFI have resulted in financial innovation for the benefit of the financial sector, often not even based in the UK. Instead, we need a new technology based policy focused on transforming the UK economy. One of the key priorities should be developing technologies related to addressing climate change.
3. Invest in new infrastructure
With so much focus on financial services and the South East, far too little attention has been paid to our island's need for good transport and port provision. Much greater infrastructure investment, in transport and communications particularly, will be key to correct imbalances within the UK and reduce the cost of exporting. Anyone who looks, for example, at the inadequate state of Scotland's ports, or the inadequate roads and rail links to Cairnryan, the UK's shortest sea crossing to Ireland, would realise that the present system is not working. At the other end of the country, the constant blockages at Dover need to be addressed. There should be a national infrastructure plan, linked to a strategic vision of how the country should be operating. Where private owners of key infrastructure (for example, the owners of privatised port facilities) are not providing adequate investment they should be incentivised to do so under threat of renationalisation. Taking a strategic view will be even more important given that shipping patterns will likely change with global warming and the retreat of Arctic ice.
4. Reform Regulatory Asset Base (RAB) pricing
Another vital aspect of infrastructure investment is how it will be funded, and here the UK has got things disastrously wrong. Much of our key infrastructure – rail, airports, water, electricity transmission and gas – is ultimately funded by charges on the user or passenger, calculated on the basis of what is known as regulatory asset base (RAB) pricing. RAB pricing is a version of current cost pricing, where the charges on the customer go up in line with inflation. But when RAB pricing was introduced in the wake of the Thatcher privatisations, the general public was not made aware of its flaws. Under the old fashioned system where the funding of infrastructure was based on fixed interest loans, the effect of inflation was to erode the real value of charges through time. Inflation was the consumer's friend. With RAB pricing, however, prices keep on rising with inflation. Far from being immaterial, the difference matters immensely. In the long run, prices for the consumer are much higher under RAB. This price differential can be, and is, extracted by the asset owners in the form of a windfall capital gain. If you want an explanation for high rail fares in the UK, or high utility prices generally, as well as huge company dividends – RAB pricing is a major factor. All of this was glossed over when RAB was introduced. But the important point is that RAB is not an essential adjunct of privatisation. Changing the pricing model for utilities and privately funded public infrastructure onto a more rational basis could still enable investment to be fully funded – it would just remove the current excess windfall profits for the utility owners. And there would be further benefits to rationalising RAB pricing. For one thing, it would strike a major blow against the current culture in the UK in which financial interests dominate: finance should be our servant, not our master. Reforming utility pricing would also make the eventual renationalisation of utilities much easier as the private owners would no longer have today's large windfall profits to defend.
5. Establish a State Investment Bank
A new state investment bank (SIB) would have two main functions. Firstly, after the reform of RAB, there will be opportunities for investment in infrastructure and utilities. A SIB would borrow, at low public sector borrowing rates, to provide funding for such investment. The existence of such a funding source would provide the ultimate counter argument to any of the present utility owners who might otherwise argue that they could no longer afford to invest, given the reformed pricing structure for utilities after the changes to RAB. Secondly, the SIB would put in funding to selected new tech start-up companies – for example, those being spawned out of the proposed reform of public procurement, and those addressing climate change. This SIB funding would come with an important proviso in the form of a golden share, which would ensure that the new company could not be sold out and taken over without the approval of the government. Equity investors in promising new tech start-ups in the UK have been too keen to sell out at the first opportunity – with the effect that the new companies are taken over and their intellectual capital lost from the UK. SIB funding would ensure that this could not happen.
6. Reinvigorate Freedom of Information
Full information on the costs and performance of services is absolutely central to efficient government and the proper assessment of policies. Unfortunately, given the trend towards the privatisation of services in the UK, there has been a great decline in the accessibility of information. Forces of reaction have carried out a successful rear-guard action against the Freedom of Information Acts. This process has been helped by the failure of the private bodies which carry out so many functions of the state to recognise the spirit or the letter of Freedom of Information.

Great Valley celebrates GivingTuesday success
MALVERN, Pa. — Penn State Great Valley's GivingTuesday campaign was a great success, with 21 donors contributing $2,010 to support Great Valley's Sustainability Committee. The effort, which took place on Nov. 29, was part of a record-breaking GivingTuesday across the University.
Comprising faculty and staff with a passion for our planet, the committee identifies, recommends and assists in the implementation of initiatives that promote and support a green and sustainable campus. The group's work is guided by the sustainability efforts of Penn State as a whole, and by the broader sustainability movement in the U.S. and internationally.
Recent programs include guest speakers, the establishment of a campus battery recycling program and a career closet and move-in day event to repurpose professional clothing and household goods for students. The funds raised from GivingTuesday will help establish a working budget for events, workshops and sustainable campus improvements.
Gary Generose, Great Valley development committee chair, and his wife, Laura Generose, provided matching funds for the first $1,000 raised. As a graduate of Great Valley's MBA and master of leadership development programs, Gary Generose has a deep appreciation for the impact the campus has on students, the local community and the University.
"Having been both a student and a volunteer on campus, I've seen the significant impact Great Valley makes first-hand," Generose said. "That includes talented graduates going out into the work force; it includes leading research from our faculty on key topics affecting the world around us; and it definitely includes our alumni, faculty, staff and friends creating a sense of community and belonging as part of the broad Penn State universe. All of it together adds up to a tremendous experience, and we're happy to support this campus any chance we get."
The Generoses' Penn State connections are deep: Both Gary (a class of 1997 graduate in business) and Laura (a class of 1995 graduate in education) earned their undergraduate degrees from the University and are long-time supporters. Gary Generose also received Great Valley's inaugural Distinguished Alumnus Award in 2019. When the couple heard the campus would be raising funds for sustainability programs, they were eager to continue giving back.
"Laura and I were inspired to be campaign champions for GivingTuesday and create this match because it's a powerful way to bring people together," Generose said. "GivingTuesday is a fantastic opportunity for small groups of individuals with shared interests to join forces to support something truly good and meaningful in the world. You don't need to be a billionaire or a philanthropist to make a meaningful impact; you just need to be passionate and interested in helping the community around you become a better place."
With the record-breaking success of "A Greater Penn State for 21st Century Excellence," which raised $2.2 billion from 2016 to 2022, philanthropy is helping to sustain the University's mission of education, research and service to communities across the commonwealth and around the globe. Scholarships enable Penn State to open doors and welcome students from every background, support for transformative experiences allows students and faculty to fulfill their vast potential for leadership, and gifts toward discovery and excellence help serve and impact the world.

Is it Legal to Buy Full Spectrum Hemp Oil?
Is the buying and selling of Full Spectrum hemp oil legal? The short answer is yes. However, given its relation to marijuana, there is a plethora of mis information floating around the internet causing more confusion than help for this fast growing and important healthful alternative.
Those looking to get in on the hemp oil business probably have a cornucopia of questions about legality. Those interested in making and selling Full Spectrum hemp oil are no different either.
We've aimed to outline the current laws as they relate to hemp oil in the US below.
What actually is Full Spectrum Hemp Oil?
Those wanting to sell Full Spectrum hemp oil are likely to already know what it is.
However, by knowing precisely what ingredients the product contains, you can help yourself to figure out what local laws apply to your product.
Full Spectrum hemp oil suffers from a bad reputation, as is often confused with the isolated molecule CBD and the psychoactive molecule THC. THC is the psychoactive, often-illegal substance that gets marijuana users "high".
You cannot get high from Full Spectrum hemp oil; it does not share the psychoactive properties of its cousin THC. The CBD molecule (not isolate) is a part of the plants natural anatomy, in the correct proportions as mother nature intended. It also contains essential vitamins and minerals, essential fatty acids, protein, chlorophyll, fiber, flavonoids, and terpenes. The mother nature 9 round punch. Therefore it is not the only derived benefit from hemp oil.
So is Full Spectrum Hemp Oil legal?
Yes. Full Spectrum hemp oil is currently legal in all fifty states.
Legally, Full Spectrum hemp oil is considered to be a hemp product rather than a marijuana-related product. Hemp itself has never been illegal in the United States, and has been used for all sorts of purposes for decades. Hemp doesn't contain any psychoactive THC, and as such has never been outlawed in the United States.
Some states, however, do have laws against growing hemp for commercial use. More and more states are nonetheless legalizing this practice as times move on and attitudes change.
Hemp is considered a food-based product by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Its legality means that you can transport and sell hemp across state lines without hassle.
So is it legal to sell Full Spectrum hemp oil?
Yes. You can legally sell Full Spectrum hemp oil in much the same way that you can freely transport and sell hemp in all fifty states.
This only applies, however, to Full Spectrum hemp oil that comes from industrial hemp stalks and seeds, grown on legally-permitted US sites.
Medical marijuana plants can also produce Full Spectrum hemp oil. However, its sale and use is much more strictly regulated if the Full Spectrum hemp oil is derived from a medical marijuana plant. We do not carry Full Spectrum hemp oil derived from marijuana plants.
Marijuana-derived Full Spectrum hemp oil inevitably requires a prescription from a doctor in order to purchase it. It also contains isolated CBD in order to achieve a specific result in testing for CBD alone, as it does not appear in its natural state with specific targeted levels of CBD. Therefore Its legality also varies from state to state depending on what type of Full Spectrum Hemp oil and weather or not isolated CBD has been added.
Marijuana-derived Full Spectrum hemp oil can only be sold in states where it is legal. It can also only be sold to those with a fitting doctor's prescription.
Full Spectrum hemp oil derived from industrial hemp stalks and seeds is nonetheless fully legal in all fifty states for sale and possession.

Current: Perseverance pays off for Hutton
Perseverance pays off for Hutton

The old adage 'you don't know what you've got till it's gone' will ring true with many of New Zealand's trotting breeders.
Muscle Hill is a sire who averages $100K+ with drafts of 100+ every year in North America. His service fee commands an undisclosed figure rumoured to be north of $40,000 and yet several of this year's age group trotting winners couldn't get near that figure at the NZ yearling sales when offered by their vendors.
Cracker Hill, the brilliant winner of the Hambletonian was passed in for $40,000.
Chloe Rose, a New Zealand record holder this term when winning the Sires Stakes Classique, was sold for $21,000.
New Zealand Two Year Old Trotter of the Year Bolt For brilliance was sold for $30,000.
Muscle Mountain was knocked down for $30,000 and Midnight Dash passed in for $40,000.
What do they all have in common?
They were all sold at the 2018 Premiere Sale in Christchurch and they have all exceeded $30,000 in stakes.
They have achieved this despite the limited prize money on offer for square gaiters in their two year old season and early into their three year old campaigns, with their lucrative three year old season riches of the Derbies and Sires Stakes Features yet to be run.
New Zealand Oaks winner Vacation Hill is another to add to the same list of Muscle Hill yearlings offered that year, and her breeder Bruce Hutton is still scratching his head as to how.
"I think they must have thought what is Bruce Hutton doing selling this horse when he keeps and races all of his, but I had already made the decision early on that she would be sold and she never got a bid," he said.
Despite having no obvious faults, the daughter of Muscle Hill out of Vacanza, a Dream Vacation NZ record holder from the paternal family of Sundon and Pine Chip was unwanted.
"She was a lovely filly, and a couple of days later Kevin Townley called me to see if she was still for sale and he bought her over the phone.
"I got to break her in which was part of the deal and I remember Kevin coming to look at her and quite liking her," said Hutton.
"He made the comment that his yearlings were usually bowling along a little more when he broke them in.
"I told him because the mother could pull, we've really kept her quiet and never told her that she's got speed and I think he adapted that into his own training of her.
"She just had a great style and she was bred to be good as well. We just thought we will never tell her how fast she is," he said.
Despite qualifying as a late two-year old, the decision was made to tuck the blue-blood filly away to allow her the time to develop into her big frame.
"We all knew very early on she would make a good filly and even as a two-year old Kevin really rated her. She will get better with time and she's in the right hands with Kevin to do so. She was too big and immature to go early and he's looked after which is what she needed.
Vacation Hill's mother, Vacanza, was a late bloomer and never begun her race career until January of her four-year old season.
After wins at Geraldine and then Methven, she showed she wasn't just a toff for the grass when she then broke the 1950m mobile record for trotting mares at Addington.
She trotted the sprint trip in 2.25.2 and a MR of 1:59, breaking a 12 year old record held by Valley of the Moon.
"She was a funny mare because she pulled terribly in the prelim but in a race she was a dream to drive.
"You put her in the paddock and she takes off at a thousand miles an hour, does one lap around the paddock and then she's as good as gold. I dunno why she did it, cover on, cover off, it didn't make any difference," he said.
Vacanza (Dream Vacation) was in utero as a package deal when her mother Sunny Lane (2000 Lindy Lane) was purchased.
That was a great result in itself because like Vacanza, Sunny Lane was a nightmare to get in foal and only produced three in her time at stud from eleven years of trying.
"She was at Nevele R and she always had breeding issues and didn't get in foal that easy. We just happened to fluke that she got in foal to Dream Vacation first go," said Hutton.
Three years after Vacanza, Sunny Lane produced a Majestic Son colt called Solar Storm who won three but disappeared in Australia after being sold.
Three years later she produced a Muscle Hilly filly called American Jewel who was purchased as a weanling by Pat Driscoll of Yabby Dabby Farm.
"American Jewel was showing exceptional talent as a three year old and was just about to race, but injured herself in a pool accident and hence never made it," said Driscoll.
"She was bred to Love You in 2018 but we lost the foal and is now in foal to Father Patrick, so hopefully all going well we have a healthy foal this spring," he said.
Both Hutton and Driscoll will be hoping for some good fortune as American Jewel was where the road ended for Sunny Lane as a mare despite several more efforts.
Sunny Lane was bred by Jim Dalgety having successfully raced her dam, the exceptionally talented Sunny Action.
Sunny Action did a lot of her Open Class racing in Mark Purdon's care, but ultimately won her three biggest races in the colours of Dalgety including the Yearling Sales Final and the NZ Trotting Stakes at three.
She was back in his colours with a young Terry Chmiel when she downed Lyell Creek in the 2000 NZ Trotting FFA, ending his unbeaten streak at 20.
The Sundon mare was line bred 2x3 to her grandam Roydon Gal and was one of the few bred on this cross by the great Sir Roy McKenzie to have much success on the track.
A few astute breeders will know this story but when researching the family I came across this nugget in Sir Roy's book, The Roydon Heritage.
It details how fortunate we as an industry were in Sir Roy securing Roydon Gal for many reasons, none more so than the fact she left Arndon, and in turn Sundon.
"At the 1976 'Adios' there was a yearling sale which featured a Super Bowl filly I was keen to secure. My aim was to help breed good young trotters. This was not a very attractive financial investment but probably necessary long term. As well as driving her before the sale, I drove a Noble Victory colt who impressed me as an ideal cross for our Game Pride mares and as a result, I had a difficult decision to make between the filly and the colt.
The sales area was crowded but my wife and daughter Robyn got seats and shortly before the filly came in, I gained one in front of them.
There was some quick and frantic bidding, but I finally secured her, though my family didn't think so. She had cost more than I bargained for. The colt, Noble Art, sold for $4000 less later in the sale. He was purchased by Del Miller and the Grants and he became the top money winning two-year-old of 1977. He has earned over $100,000 and he will have a sub 2min record any day.
We named the filly Roydon Gal and she trained really well as a two-year-old but showed some soreness when due to race at that age. We later qualified her in 2:10 and she has now been bred to Arnie Almahurst to whom she is in foal. In 1979 she will be brought back to New Zealand. A full brother to Roydon Gal, Superbly sold at the yearling Sales for $70,000 in 1978.
The advent of time would tell us that Noble Art never broke two minutes and Roydon Gal would be one of the most influential, if not the most influential trotting mare to the New Zealand stud book ever."
Unfortunately for Hutton, Vacanza has carried on the family tradition of struggling to get in foal.
"She's been to some of the best vets and nobody seems to know whats wrong there.
"She doesn't cycle or ovulate properly. We got her in foal first go with frozen semen (Vacation Hill) and thought it was easy, but she's proved hard since," he said.
Matings to frozen semen consorts in Muscle Hill (2017), Wishing Stone (2018) and Southwind Frank (2019) coupled with two seasons of trying the fresh semen route with Majestic Son (2020) all came up empty.
"We'll try a few different things this year and see how we go," said Hutton.
Hutton is perhaps best known for the deeds of his trotters from the wonderful producer, Belday.
He won the Yearling Sales Final for three-year olds with Rhythm of the Night as well as a heat of the Victorian Trotters Derby.
He still has a full-sister in Fire in the Night who was a bonnie mare and should have won a New Zealand Trotting Oaks if not for breaking in the run home where she still ran fourth and only six lengths from the winner, Commander Jewel.
Hutton has had better luck producing from this breed with three foals from Fire in the Night (in foal to Majestic Son) including a Muscle Hill mare Luminosity.
She was on track to clear maidens having run second four times in her last five starts before Covid-19 abruptly ended the season.
Injured while racing as an early two-year old, Luminosity was put in foal and produced a Love You colt that is doing its early education at the present.
"We like him but he's not a natural trotter at this stage," said Hutton.
"I'm also breeding from Insignificant who has a Southwind Frank colt on her and is back in foal to Majestic Son," he said.
Hutton has never been shy when it comes to trying to improve his breed and has been one of the great disciples of Muscle Hill, well before his stock began to produce the results they have today.
His theories on breeding are simple.
"Both Fire in the Night and Insignificant are nice quality mares with a reasonable pedigree behind them. You've gotta try and back yourself don't ya?
"Breed the best to the best and hope for the best. I sell a lot of horses up to American and I've got a lot of contacts up there who I've always spoken to about their breeding scene and what's working well.
"I've been looking to see if I can find a quality horse up there to bring down and actually race here with a view to breed from, but of course with all the stuff that's happening now it's probably going to be prohibitive," said Hutton.
Another prohibitive factor in recent years has been Hutton's health with the Canterbury horseman battling cancer, but he is fighting back having recently undergone stem cell treatment.
It's a good thing he's a fighter, because Vacation Hill's win in the Oaks provided him with his biggest thrill as a breeder.
"It was actually my first ever Group win as a breeder and was a massive thrill to see the horse win for Kev and connections," he said.
Breeder hoping for trans-Tasman spin-off
A Group One victory at one of Victoria's biggest nights of racing has been hailed as a victory for the small-time breeder.

Q: Conduction Period;Half wave rectifier;Battery How can we calculate the conduction period of the diode when a half-wave rectifier is used to charge a 12 Volts Battery  through a resistance 'R'? Given the input is fed by 34 Volts AC with turns ratio 2:1
My Approach:
we know for half-wave rectifier: $$\omega \times \Delta t = \surd((2 \times V_r)/V_p) \quad $$ $$Given \quad V_{pm}=34V ,V_o=12V\quad and \quad Turn \quad ratio=2:1 $$ $$\implies V_{sm}= 17V$$
Also we know: $$V_o=V_{sm}-(V_r/2)$$ $$\implies12=17-(V_r/2)$$ $$\implies V_r=10V$$ $$\therefore \omega \times \Delta t =1.08 \quad in \quad rad \quad or \quad 62.14^o$$
but answer is given as 120 degree ; so where am i wrong and how to proceed ....any suggestions..??

A: If you have a 17 volts RMS sinewave it has a peak voltage of 24 volts: -

Table content taken from here.
So 17 volts (RMS) x 1.414 = 24 volts (the peak value).
If you assume an ideal diode and a constant 12 volts on your battery, you just need to calculate the points on the waveform that coincide with sin(\$\theta\$) = 12/24: -

Arc sin (12/24) = 30 degrees.
This means that at 30 degrees into the half sine waveform, conduction begins and, at 30 degrees before the half sine falls to zero, conduction stops. Half a sine is 180 degrees hence conduction lasts for 120 degrees.
