We are located three blocks away from 'andador santo domingo', 4 blocks away to the central square. In addition, some of the most important landmarks of our city are just a few minutes away walking from our facilities such as the Cathedral of San Crtistobal, Parque De Los Arcos and Museo Mesoamericano del Jade, amongst other relevant landmarks of our town.
We have 4 cozy rooms, 2 of them with 4 beds, (Shared bedrooms, one of them has private bathroom, the other one has a shared bathroom with the other 2 bedrooms). In addition, we have two private bedrooms for those travellers who are looking for peace and quietness.
Dope hostel with a great location. There is a sweet chill-out area with a fireplace where you can watch netflix, jam out, or just chill out. There is also a terrace with another mini terrace that gives you a good view of the area. You also have access to the kitchen and free breakfast. We had a huge dinner and party for christmas which shows that Mauricio and Fabi (they run the place) make you feel more at home than a hostel. They're also super helpful and will help you with anything you need.
Great hostel Really cozy Nice people, best volounters! Many thanks to rosa!
Very nice and overall positive experience at this hostel! The hosts are amazing and will help with questions about tours and everything around the city. They serve breakfast in the morning and the atmosphere is lovely! The only thing I noticed is that the upstairs area with 10/12 beds only have one bathroom that was not absolutely clean but still very ok to use!
Great little hostel, we have stayed here a couple of times now. Good location, close to everything but in nice/quiet part of town. Kitchen is big and has all the essential equipment to cook up a big meal. Shame there is really only 1 bathroom for whole hostel, sometimes busting to go to the toilet and people are taking their time having a shower. Lack of staff, even though staff are very friendly it is hard to find them a lot of the time as I dont know if they actually live at the hostel.
We had an amazing time here, it's a very warm, welcoming environment. The rooftop has a great view over San Cristobal and the owners are a lovely young family who showed us some cool places in town.
This hostel is amazingly cute. It's very small and not much of an atmosphere but the staff is super nice and the location is good. I stayed in a double room which I enjoyed very much. Would stay here again if traveling as a couple or two friends or would like a quiet place to stay in. Thank you guys!
Everyone at this hostel was really nice, especially the owner was super cool we got to hang out with him! I highly recommend this place since its a chill to place to hang out and meet people.
Great little hostel perfect if you want a homely vibe to chill out. Hosts are very friendly and helpful and pancakes for breakfast was a nice touch. Private double was great for the price.
Nice clean hostel and ideal location, about a 15 minute walk from the ADO station. Pancakes and cereal served for breakfast every morning. Good cooking facilities and has an oven. Tours run from the hostel every day: cascada El Chiflon, Sumidero Canyon & are really good value for money. The place is small and there's only one toilet in the whole hostel and not much hot water when showering. Would we stay again? Yes!

Before we left Belmar, Bhavna reminded me that Beach Haus Brewery is located on Main Street. I could not resist. I had to visit.
It took us longer than we expected to get to the brewery. Bhavna thought that we should drive down the length of Ocean Avenue but I wanted to use Apple Maps. The mapping software took us on what felt like a circuitous route. However, we arrived at the correct spot. Apple Maps had taken us along a more scenic route along Shark River.
From the outside, we could see the inside. The brewery is all glass. The inside is decorated in an understated industrial style with stained picnic tables along one side.
Our friendly greeter explained some details about the brewery and told us to head upstairs to the tap room.
The retail area offered some brewery swag for sale.
A group of men were off to one side finishing up what appeared to be a craft ale tasting party.
Our friendly tap room attendant, Nick, greeted us and showed us the names and the style of ales available to drink.
I continued to explore the brewery with my camera. The second floor was decorated similarly to the first floor. More bench style seating. We could see the outdoor rooftop patio but did not go outside. Something to explore on our next trip in late summer or early fall.
I also tried a sip of the Test Dept.™ – Grapefruit Radler that Bhavna had in her flight. I loved the radler and the mosaic and citra New England IPA. We got a six pack and four pack to take home.


A white men's college tennis player has received a suspension following a racial comment made during Sunday's NCAA Division I match, Appalachian State University said via statement. John Wilson -- a North Carolina A&T State University student -- tweeted after the match between him and Spencer Brown of Appalachian State University that Brown told him during the match "at least I know my dad." Appalachian State apologized in the statement -- describing freshman Brown's actions as "derogative and offensive." North Carolina A&T State University is historically known as a black college.
21-year-old Wilson -- who will soon be finishing his college career at North Carolina A&T State University -- is planning to become a lawyer after his graduation. Though tennis is a sport played mostly by white people -- a racism-related incidents are a rarity in the game as the players are respectful towards their fellow ATP and WTA colleagues.

Samini is fine, after car accident on Sunday.
By Veruspres
Ghanaian Dancehall superstar Emmanuel Samini was on Sunday morning treated and discharged from hospital after a seemingly serious car accident he encountered on his way from a musical concert performance.
Samini was returning from the Ghana Trade Fair Centre where he had purportedly stolen the show at the fairly successful Ghana Music and Food Festival organized by Konsule Entertainment over the weekend.
"At about 5am", Samini said, "I lost control of the steering wheel after an animal- a dog, I believe- crossed the road from nowhere resulting in my car veering off the road and crashing a gutter". The incident occurred near Exhibition Junction at Dansoman in Accra, on his way back home from the said performance.
Prelim medical assessment and report revealed that Samini sustained minor injuries when his head smashed the windscreen immediately rendering him unconscious. "His seat belt worn at the time obviously reduced the impact and prevented him from being thrown out of the car", a Samini Music rep confirmed to NFC on Sunday afternoon.
Samini was immediately rushed to the Korlebu Teaching Hospital at 5:25am where he was immediately treated and discharged on Sunday.
"I thank God for this big miracle, considering that I collapsed and did not feel my body move properly until at the hospital, where doctors from various departments- over seven of them- had to cease their activities to attend to me. I'm very grateful to them and thank God for this intervention. I want to use this opportunity to assure my fans that I'm quite fine now, and ask that they pray for me continually because it is totally due to their unceasing prayers that have kept me alive today", Samini said.
Though he's been discharged, Samini is still been monitored by his doctors. He is expected to return to the Hospital for check-up.

Home Finance CFP Board changes governance practices
Written by: Cindy Hamilton Posted on: October 1, 2020
CFP Board changes governance practices
The Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards Inc. has made changes to its governance policies designed to give it a stronger hand in upholding the designation's standards.
Under reforms the board recently adopted, the scope of the board's appeals committee is extended to include oversight of ethical standards and enforcement. The audit committee now also is charged with monitoring enterprise risk management. The board committee that sets the chief executive's compensation will now also make pay determinations for senior staff.
The current four-year board term will be reduced to three years while allowing members to serve two consecutive terms. The board also made the nomination process for board seats more formal to ensure the body has the right mix of skills, experience and knowledge.
The governance changes respond to recommendations last year from an enforcement task force that was established in the wake of a Wall Street Journal report that raised questions about the board's ability to enforce the mark's ethical standards.
"The combination of these governance enhancements will achieve the objectives that were set out largely in the task force report but more importantly set out by the board, and it's what CFP Board expects to achieve on its own," Board chair Jack Brod told reporters Thursday.
The reforms update and modernize the CFP Board's governance structure and practices, said CFP Board Chief Executive Kevin Keller.
"These improvements support CFP Board's ongoing evolution as the professional body for financial planners and reinforce the consumer confidence that comes from working with a CFP professional," Keller said.
The governance changes follow modifications to enforcement procedures earlier this year in advance of the June 30 effective date for the new code of ethics and conduct attached to the designation. The centerpiece of that ethics reform is a stronger fiduciary duty requirement for the CFP mark.
"The enhancements and improvements [announced Thursday] … greatly enhance CFP Board's ability to enforce the code and standards for CFP certificants," Brod said.
The enforcement task force recommended a majority public board. The CFP Board currently consists of 16 members, four of whom are public. There are two other members who are not CFPs but are not considered public members. The board will continue to have at least two public members.
"Considering the topics and the decisions and the governance responsibility, having a substantial representation of CFPs continues to be very important for the ability of this board to operate," Brod said.
The CFP Board oversees the competency and ethical standards for the credential, which is held by approximately 87,000 investment professionals in the United States.

Keeping Oysters, Clams And Mussels Safe To Eat
Food safety & handling Post-harvest
20 April 2011, at 1:00am
US - Eating raw or undercooked mollusks may pose a safety hazard if they are harvested from waters polluted with pathogenic microbes, so U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) scientists are studying ways to enhance the food safety of these popular shellfish.
For example, USDA molecular biologist David H. Kingsley at Delaware State University in Dover is exploring new techniques that will decontaminate mollusks while protecting the seafood's flavor, texture, and color.
Kingsley, with USDA's Agricultural Research Service (ARS), is investigating the use of a specialized commercial procedure known as high pressure processing, or HPP, to inactivate viruses. HPP is already used commercially to pasteurize some juices and meats, and by some shellfish processors to deactivate Vibrio bacteria. But Kingsley and colleagues are the first to show that HPP also can inactivate some foodborne viruses.
HPP equipment compresses water to create intense pressures as high as 90,000 pounds per square inch. Normal atmospheric pressure is about 15 pounds per square inch at sea level.
In tests targeting hepatitis A virus, the cause of a contagious liver disease, the team showed that an HPP treatment of 60,000 pounds per square inch of pressure for five minutes inactivated 99.9 percent of the virus in oysters that had been exposed to the pathogen in laboratory tanks.
The hepatitis A studies led to a collaboration with researchers in Italy, where raw or lightly cooked Mediterranean mussels, popular in European markets, are sometimes a vector for the virus. The ARS scientists and colleagues from Italy's University of Bari found that the 5-minute, HPP treatment inactivated 99.9 percent of the virus in North American blue mussels and in Mediterranean mussels.
HPP is not perfect. For instance, the pressure needed to inactivate hepatitis A virus may alter the taste and texture somewhat. Additional research may reveal ways to mitigate these changes.

The project BED aimed to the development of new concepts for the operation and application of building automation systems in non residential buildings to reduce the maximal energy consumption and to ensure a stable and high-quality power supply.
The increasingly spread construction of innovative buildings and according technologies results in a shift from the use of fossil energy resources to the indirect use of electrical equipment such as compression heat pumps, ventilation etc. to meet the primary energy needs. This leads to higher base loads and partially to pronounced peak loads, which alter the load profiles of the buildings. Furthermore, there is the trend, that the number of so-called "Energy-Plus-Buildings" is increasing . This results in a decentralization of the energy production, which is thereby dependent on the energy supply, and in a poorer predictability due to the complexity of the distribution and supply networks. Accompanying to this development it is therefore necessary to develop new concepts for the operation and application of the building control to reduce the maximal energy consumption to ensure a stable and high-quality power supply.
This project addresses the issue of the possible extent of smoothing of load profiles (Peak Shaving) of functional buildings by new automation techniques for the thermal and the electrical operation and thus offering room for a more efficient automation. An assessment of the possible saving of energy and the subsequent CO2-reduction by the improved load profile was carried out. The saving approach is based on two possibilities for the use of energy management. On the one hand, synergies can occur when assessing buildings which use renewable energy regarding a better coordination and optimization of energy supply and demand. On the other hand, the necessity of using power supplies from peak-load electricity generation plants can be minimized by load shifting and an intelligent storage management. The building or the group of buildings is thereby upgraded to an "active consumer" within the power grid, thus contributing to a CO2-reduction by a substitution of peak demands by flexible storage processes.
The implementation of these innovative automation techniques will be carried out with targeted building components, which are already widely applied in modern buildings. These components comprise thermo active building systems, cooling and heating buffer storage, the corresponding building automation system and the strategically well-placed use of time-independent energy consumers.
In the course of the project BED different cases were investigated on the basis of thermal simulations with the aim of shifting the thermal and electrical energy taking into account the level of comfort of people. By means of adaptive calculation algorithms the data can be attributed to specific conditions. By the combination of self-learning calculation algorithms and the corresponding condition it is not only possible to adapt the actions on the conditions, but also to constantly improve the processing of the data.
The result of this project is an intelligent and self-learning automation strategy which can be applied in currently used automation techniques and which serves as interface between an optimal usage of storage techniques, the optimal integration of buildings in regenerative energy systems and the structures of network operators and power suppliers.
The potential of office buildings according to the 'Passivhausstandard' often finds the focus of discussion in the building and energy sector. On one hand side the passive thermal performance of this kind of buildings shows a good possibility for load management, on the other hand the flexibility is reduced due to the optimized and reduced demand of energy for HVAC appliances. However, the results of this project point out some potential in load management. Even in a well driven office building is a margin in flexible loads to participate to the grid. In this case the shift of the heating demand and the air conditioning system were identified as promising. However, the former one is the appliance which has the more important role. Even with disadvantageous boundary conditions a load shedding of the heating supply of 24 h were possible without violating the comfort parameters.
For the load shift with the air condition system more restrictive boundary conditions have to be taken into account. The characteristic of the CO2 concentration often shows high peaks in some critical zones of a whole building. Restricted to these areas a complete shedding of the load is hardly ever possible.
In the case of the ENERGYbase these critical zones were identified for the lecture rooms of the FH Technikum Wien and the meeting rooms situated in the office areas. One can see that for shifting the load of the air conditioning system, knowledge of the critical zones concerning the state of use is necessary. Although, using the air conditioning system for load management is possible, much more complex boundary conditions have to be taken into account compared to load management using the heat supply.

Otto Friedrich Ranke (17 August 1899 in Munich – 19 November 1959 in Erlangen) was a German physiologist and university professor. Ranke introduced methamphetamine as a performance enhancer in the Wehrmacht during World War II.

Early years and education
Ranke, whose father was the psychiatrist Karl Ranke (1861–1951), graduated after completing his study of medicine at the Universities of Munich and Freiburg. In Freiburg Ranke received a medical doctorate under Ludwig Aschoff with a dissertation entitled "On the change of the elastic resistance of the aortic intima and resulting formation of atheroma." Ranke studied mathematics at the Munich Technical University until 1925 with the aid of a grant from the Rockefeller Foundation. He became an assistant at the Institute of Pathology of the University of Freiburg under Philipp Broemser, and worked from 1928 to 1935 at the Physiological Institutes of Universities of Basel and Heidelberg.  Ranke obtained his science doctorate in 1931 from the University of Heidelberg with a thesis entitled "The Rectifier Resonance Theory: An extension of the Helmholtz resonance theory of hearing by physical examination of cochlear fluid oscillations."

Political and military activities
Ranke was a member of Der Stahlhelm, which was dissolved and integrated into the Sturmabteilung (SA) from 1934 to 1935, and was a member of the National Socialist Teachers League. In 1935, Ranke joined the Aviation Medical Research Institute of the Military Medical Academy in Berlin, where Hubertus Strughold worked. Ranke was appointed in 1936 to außerplanmäßiger (extraordinary) professor at the University of Berlin.  From 1937 to 1945 Ranke headed the Institute of General and Military Physiology (Institut fur Allgemeine und Wehrphysiologie) at the Militararztliche Akademie in Berlin. Ranke joined the Wehrmacht in 1939 with the rank of Oberstabsarzt (Major in Medical Corps) and conducted research at the Military Medical Academy/ laboratory for Aviation Medicine on thermoregulation and nutritional physiology. Ranke also served as an advisory officer to the military. As a medical staff officer Ranke took part in the conference, "Medical Problems Arising from Sea and Winter," (Tagung über Ärztliche Fragen bei Seenot und Wintertod) August 26 and 27 1942 in Nuremberg, where the hypothermia experiments in the Dachau concentration camp were presented. Along with Karl Brandt, Ranke was, from 1944, a member of multiple scientific advisory boards.

Introduces military methamphetamine
In an effort to make its front-line soldiers and fighter pilots fight longer, harder, and with less concern for individual safety, the German army ordered them to take military-issue pills made from methamphetamine and a primarily cocaine-based stimulant. Pervitin, a methamphetamine drug newly developed by the Berlin-based Temmler pharmaceutical company, first entered the civilian market in 1938; it quickly became a top seller among the German population.  The drug was brought to the attention of Ranke, at the time a military doctor and director of the Institute for General and Defense Physiology at Berlin's Academy of Military Medicine.  The effects of amphetamines are similar to those of the adrenaline produced by the body, triggering a heightened state of alert. In most people, the substance increases self-confidence, concentration, and willingness to take risks while at the same time reducing sensitivity to pain, hunger, thirst, and the need for sleep.  In September 1939, Ranke tested the drug on 90 university students and concluded that Pervitin could help the Wehrmacht win the war. Cocaine, whose effects substantially overlap with those of amphetamine but feature greater euphoria, was later added to the formulation to increase potency through the multiplicative effects of drug interaction and to reinforce use by individuals.

Some medical authorities criticized this drug regimen, with distributed pills numbered in the millions, as having the negative consequence that many soldiers became addicted to drugs and useless in any military capacity, whether combat or supporting.

Later years and death
After the war, Ranke became head of the University of Erlangen Physiological Institute. In 1946, after three months, the American military government cashiered him. From mid-September 1947 until his death, Ranke was professor of physiology at the University of Erlangen and at the same time director of the Physiological Institute. His research interests were sensory and nutritional physiology and physiology of metabolism. Ranke was author of many scientific publications. In 1950 together with Konrad Lang he edited a textbook of Metabolism and Nutrition. Ranke died in 1959 unexpectedly of an arterial thrombosis in his sleep.

This past weekend we held our 2nd annual Regenerative Land & Plant Propagation Course at New Earth Farm & Goods. The weather was wet and rainy but it held off enough for us to be able to do most of the hands-on activities we had planned for outside.
We made Stropharia beds, made reishi, shitake, lion's mane, and oyster mushroom logs and stumps. We learned about living soil, compost making, and compost tea. We pruned, trained, and grafted a few trees, mulberries, apples, and persimmons. We learned how to read landscapes and and played/learned about tools and techniques. We didn't get a chance to get into the beehives, because of the weather, but maybe next time.
Also, and most importantly, we ate amazing farm fresh food and got to hang out with some great people.
We hope to make a few short videos from the event in the days to come. Thank you to all who participated and supported this class including the Midlands Community Foundation in Sarpy County.

PUBG announces return to India: New game, $100 million investment
PUBG Mobile will make its return to India with a new avatar, parent company PUBG Corporation said on Thursday.
The South Korean gaming firm was plotting its return to the world's second largest internet market two months after its marquee title was banned by the country.
Though confirmed, the creators of the game haven't set an official date for the release of the game in India and said that "more information on the launch of PUBG MOBILE INDIA will be released at a later date."Additionally, the corporate said it plans to make investment worth $100 million in India, one among the biggest markets of PUBG Mobile, to cultivate the local video game, esports, entertainment, and IT industries ecosystems. "Thanks to overwhelming community enthusiasm for PUBG esports in India, the corporate also plans to make investments by hosting India-exclusive esports events, which can feature the largest tournaments, the largest prize pools, and the best tournament productions," it said in a statement, adding that it also plans to hire over 100 employees in the country.
New Delhi has banned over 200 apps with links to China — including PUBG Mobile and TikTok — in recent months over cybersecurity concerns. To allay concerns of the Indian government, PUBG Mobile has cut ties with Chinese internet giant, Tencent, which is its publisher in many markets, in India. The company last week announced that it had inked a global deal with Microsoft to move all PUBG Mobile data — as well as data from its other properties — to Azure.
In a statement on Thursday, PUBG Corporation said, "privacy and security of Indian player data being a top priority for PUBG Corporation, the corporate will conduct regular audits and verifications on the storage systems holding Indian users' personally identifiable information to reinforce security and make sure that their data is safely managed."
Prior to the ban in early September, PUBG Mobile had amassed over 50 million monthly active users in India, more than any other mobile game in the country. It helped establish a complete ecosystem of esports organisations and even a industry of streamers that made the most of its spectator sport-friendly gameplay, said Rishi Alwani, a long-time analyst of Indian gaming market and publisher of stories outlet The Mako Reactor.
PUBG Corporation's move today could also set a precedence for other impacted apps to chart their returns to the country. One thing that is still unclear for now is whether the Indian government has approved PUBG Corporation's move.
The company didn't share exactly when the new game, which it says has been specially created for India, would release.

Man killed after crashing into unoccupied vehicle in middle of freeway
SAN DIEGO (KUSI) — A 40-year-old Spring Valley man was killed Saturday morning in Mission Valley after his vehicle hit an unoccupied SUV that was parked in the middle of the freeway, according to the Medical Examiner's Office.
Gregory Lawrence Scott was the driver and only one in the car when he hit the unoccupied SUV while traveling at freeway speed. The SUV was either abandoned or became disabled in the No. 3 lane.
A witness to the crash on the southbound side of Interstate 15 north of the Friars Road overpass approaching Interstate 8 called 911 at 2:50 a.m., officials said.
Scott was pronounced dead at the scene and there were no other injuries, according to the Medical Examiner's Office.


The rotating strike, in effect since Oct. Mail and parcels will not be delivered or picked up in the impacted areas while the union continues their strike activity. Mail and parcels will not be delivered or picked up in the impacted areas while the union continues their strike activity. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers and the postal service have been unable to reach new collective agreements for two bargaining units after 10 months of negotiations. During the rotating strike, Canada Post continues to operate across Canada and is still accepting and delivering mail and parcels in all other locations. While Canada Post is attempting to minimize the impact on customers, the union has decided to shut down a key processing hub for mail and parcels in Canada for a second day. A Canada Post employee drives a mail truck through downtown Halifax on Wednesday, July 6, 2016.
The election will be held: Sunday January 27, 2019, at 1:00 p. However, Toronto is also a key processing hub for mail and parcels in Canada. We expect employees to return to work in areas impacted by strike activity in the last 24 hours. Canada Post continues to operate across the rest of Canada. Anthony, Deer Lake, Grand Falls-Windsor, Stephenville Crossing, Corner Brook, Channel-Port-aux-Basques. The strikes are now into their fourth week and have touched virtually every Canada Post facility and every Canadian address so far.
Any Stewards who were appointed by the Local Executive Committee since the last annual election must also run for election this January in order to maintain their position. It says customers across the country should expect delivery delays. The union also started rotating strikes last night in the region of St. The postal service remains operational, but Canada Post has advised commercial customers that it is not able to honour its delivery standards for any product because of prolonged and ongoing rotating strikes. Candidates must be a member in good standing and must have attended at least three 3 General Membership Meetings in the twelve 12 months prior to and inclusive of the close of nominations as per Article 9. Meanwhile, strikes have ended in Montreal, St. And employees returned to work earlier Tuesday, Oct.
Please note that you must be a member in good standing to vote. If the Senate approves Bill C-89 today, management and the union would be required to accept a contract imposed through binding arbitration. The last time the federal government forced an end to a work dispute at Canada Post was in 2011, when the former Conservative government passed back-to-work legislation to end a two-week lockout by the Crown agency. According to Canada Post, the deadline is to ensure that a resolution is met before the holiday rush. Last night, strikes had also started in the greater Montreal region, Quebec and Saint John, New Brunswick. The members of Canadian Post Workers Union Local 786 in Nanaimo took part in a series of Canada-wide rotating strikes Wednesday morning and expect to be off the job for about 24 hours.
Canada Post rotating strikes return to B.C.
Maritime Labour Centre This election will take place as part of the normal order of business during the January Membership Meeting as per Article 9. Strikes also started Monday morning in Kitchener Ont. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers says results of the vote will be released today or tomorrow. Please confirm the information below before signing up. Thomas, Owen Sound; Barrie; Ridgeway, Stevensville, Fonthill, Wainfleet, Niagara on the Lake, Port colborne, Thorold, Jordan, Station, Wellandport, Smithville, Lynden, Beamsville; London, Arthur; Ajax, Markham, Unionville, Richmond Hill, Stouffville, Thornhill, Whitby, Willowdale, Don Mills, Maple, Vaughan. In Newfoundland and Labrador: Carbonear, Gander-Lewisporte, Stephenville, St.
On Tuesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau repeated his call for both sides in the dispute to resolve their differences soon. The deadline for a mediator to help Canada Post and its workers reach an agreement has now passed, with both sides no closer to making a deal. In Ontario: Scarborough delivery facilities, including the York Distribution Centre which processes parcels for the east portion of the Greater Toronto Area; Pickering, Sarnia, Amherstburg, Delhi, St. In Toronto alone, more than 180 trailers full of parcels, packets and mail sit idle as the union shuts down the facility for a third time in less than a month. Mail and parcels will not be delivered or picked up in the impacted areas while the union continues their strike activity. Canada Post continues to operate across Canada. Strikes continue in Kamloops and in Quebec, while others ended in Cranbrook, Penticton, Quesnel, and.
Distribution centres in Vancouver, Edmonton and Montreal are also experiencing severe backlogs, and packages are backing up at border points, despite a plea from Canada Post to its international partners to halt shipments. The Canadian Union of Postal Workers and the postal service have been unable to reach new collective agreements for two bargaining units after 10 months of negotiations. In Quebec: Québec, Lévis, Montmagny, Pintendre, Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures, Sainte Marie, Saint-Jean-Chrysostome, Beauceville, Lac-Mégantic; Haut-du-Lac, La Tuque. Their union has warned of a legal battle if the federal government passes the back-to-work legislation, calling such a move unconstitutional. Please note that you must be a member in good standing to vote. The union continues to escalate their strike activity, adding more communities each day and shutting down major processing centres for extended periods. Some of the issues at the centre of the dispute are pay, delivery route structures, and increased loads from rising numbers of package deliveries due to online shopping.
Without an agreement, rotating strikes will continue, including picketing in Richmond that began three days ago. We thank our customers for their continued patience and apologize for the inconvenience this is causing. On Thursday morning, the Trudeau government introduced legislation to force an end to the rotating strikes by Canada Post employees. The agency has recently seen a boom in its parcel distribution business while letter mail volumes have plummeted. Earlier, the union had also started strikes in Quebec City and the Haut-du-Lac region, Que. A strike also continues in ÎIes-de-la-Madeleine, Que.


But old XP-G2 S4 2B also deserves to be in that graph cause it has just slightly lower lux performance(and sometimes certain g2s42b can have even better performance than certain black flat).
+1 for white flat. Black flat is well known for thrower led and it is easier to get what it is and also remember the name.
Measured the GT mini current and lumens with sanyo GA cell.
Sorry about those promises but new osram leds came to me and I had to process bunch of orders etc., always something unexpected appears and limits my time for other stuff.
I will not predict release dates anymore, products will just appear on web,maybe that's better.
I'm sorry if this was asked before, but can the 17mm LD-4 drivers be sanded/filled to 15mm diameter and work properly?
I will not predict release dates anymore, products will just appear on web,maybe that's better.
Please do it soon. I have been waiting since you announced the Luxeon MZ LEDs months ago. There is nothing that's compareable to your "complete system".
GND ring is ~1mm wide so sanding driver down to 15mm is probably too much, 16mm would be ok.
Nicely done Jos! Good thinking outside the box with the dual centering rings, very imaginative!
Thanks Dale, I'm very happy with how I got it done. But how I would like some fitting centerpieces for this led!, would make life quite a bit easier.
Thanks for the answer mate Maybe I should thing reversely, then, sanding the driver till the 16mm and the extra by sanding the flashlight hole!! Thanks again!!
Nice work djozz. I'd have no hope of achieving a result like yours.
LD-B4HV (2s – 8.4v) can use with triple XP-G2 connected in series ?
Now I must gather all relevant data and builds into first post of that thread.
Hi LD-B4HV (2s - 8.4v) can use with triple XP-G2 connected in series ?
No, 3 LEDs in series would have 9-12V forward voltage, 2S cells on the other side have 8.4V max.
Have you ever considered making 20-22mm drivers or at least stocking 17->20 and 17->22 quality spacers?
I plan to have all sizes for new driver iteration, so until then LD-x4 will stay 17mm only, sorry.
Trying to set the max power of my LD-A4. 10+ clicks enters main menu, OK, 5 fast clicks blinks and power goes down. 1 click enters current adjustment, OK, 1 blink and current goes down again. I click 7 times for 4.75A. I get 15 blinks in response. What's up?
BTW 30 seconds of idle time was WAY too fast for me, I needed over a minute just to read the relevant section.
5 fast clicks and power goes down.
1 blink and current goes down again.
I click 7 times for 4.75A. I get 15 blinks in response. What's up?
You can always enter again.
I meant 5 fast blinks, not clicks.
Making notes, that's a good idea. Still, I believe that making the duration much longer would make the adjustment easier.
LED4POWER, can you tell me tint bin of the LH351D 4000k 90CRI you are selling? It says SPHWHTL3DA0GF4T0Q6, which means tint bin is T0 but there is no T0 tint bin.
Oh NVM, I see description says T6.
Emitters are 219b sw40 r9080s from Clemence….. This thing gets crazy hot, fast, at 12 amps cc.
Isn't 12amps too much for a triple 219B? Did it run fine? How many lumens were you making?
BTW, it took me a while to figure out how to operate the driver configuration, but then it was all full speed ahead!
I'll be getting some more soon and other stuff as well!
The original 4040 Luxeon V has one of the most evenly tinted beams of any LED I have seen so if this is remotely similar it will easily become my go to 70 CRI LED choice for 3535 footprint.
I am not too smart.
This means 6mm not 6 contacts. Public service announcement.

Rest In Peace and Glory Sheldon Hyatt
Last night the world lost a Great and Beautiful Soul, Mr. Sheldon Hyatt. I got a call last night from my best bud, that Sheldon (Shelly) had passed in the hospital in Florida. Outside of my circle no one would be expected to know his name, but Shelly was a second father to me. I mentioned in a previous post that I had met Craig in a peer group on my first day of Stony Brook Prep and we quickly became close friends. Within a year, 42 Howe Road, the Hyatt home which was a mile or so from house, become a second home base for me. I would call 516 6*8-42**, go knock on the door and Craig, his mom, Rosemarie, or his sister, Michelle would swing the the door open as if it were my home. I come sit at the kitchen table and pour myself a glass of Diet Pepsi, which they always had in the fridge. Even if Craig wasn't there I would sit and chat with his mom or Michelle. Shelly would come home from work at Restaurant Hours about 11PM or so and he would pull up in his fancy car in full suit, slicked back hair, and pour himself a drink. He would call out to me with his big beautiful smile, "Hey Georgie Boy!" and he would come to the table and sit with us. Never once, never once did he ever say anything like "don't you have a home" or alike, he rather always made me feel like I was supposed to be there and as if I were an obvious part of the Hyatt family. I was blessed!
From my limited understanding Shelly and Rosemarie met in the air on a plane! Shelly was a handsome Jewish New York born man and Rosemarie was a spicy blonde Puerto Rican airline attendant, a real NY West Side Story! This was the second marriage for both and from when I knew them, they had a lovely home in Long Island, a pool and boat, and two beautiful children, Michelle and Craig. I also mentioned in a previous post, that one day Craig invited me to work with him at a new top shelf $30 million wedding catering establishment his father was the head developer/general manager for, as the first bus boys. We were worked like dogs and in this high end but often Harsh and now Notoriously known to most people in NY, Mafia restaurant environment (The Thatched Cottage) and I wanted to never go back after the 1st night. I didn't necessarily need the work, but my mom would not let me quit. I learned more in restaurants working under Craigs Dad and under, next to, and above everyday people from my age to my parents age, about hard work, people, and myself than any university. Shelly was the driving force in developing and managing some of the biggest and finest Wedding Catering Halls in New York, such as the Fox Hollow, Lands End, the Windmill, and the Thatched Cottage. I remember coming back to NY after my Freshman year undergrad in Boston. I was back working in the restaurant for the Summer. I had spent the year having fun, meeting friends, skiing in Vermont, and finding or maybe Searching for direction in my life, in other words, I was failing out of school! I never went to class, didn't care about grades, and I was feeling pretty terrible in general about myself. Shelly was the big boss at the Thatched Cottage so he wasn't involved with our work directly, but ran the whole place, so when I did see him he would of course talk to me. I would be there in my tuxedo, working hard, but also thinking I was pretty slick/cool. Whenever Shelly would see me he would totally call me out in front of everyone in the restaurant to see, saying things, like "you better straighten up", "Wake up", "You are a Smart guy, Smarten up"! He knew how to humble me and while it was always embarrassing, he knew I needed to be humbled and I always felt like it was out of LOVE!
Craig and I did a lot of snow skiing together and his family invited me on a trip and pretty much Craig and I had the choice of locations around the world. We chose Zermatt, Switzerland, to ski at the Matterhorn. Despite the rest of the family not being skiers, they somehow agreed and we had an Epic trip to Belgium, Switzerland, and Northern Italy! Related to Shelly, one of the many vivid memories was the plane trip back, I remember two things. One was Shelly and I played cards (Gin Rummy) for at least 4-5 hours straight. I was 16 yrs old and I remember waiting for him to get tired of playing, but he never did. We were chatting the whole time during playing which is built into the game. I remember his exact Huge smile and while this is one of my best friends father, in those moments I felt like I was his best friend. I feel like if I were of another generation that he and I would have been a best bud! Second thing I remember about that flight back was I thought I was so devious smoking a couple of cigarettes, which was allowed then on planes!!, and thinking no one knew. But I am pretty sure Shelly knew and said nothing:)
I know Shelly always aspired to own and develop one of his own Catering Halls. Certainly, given that he was well known in NY as a go to guy to develop/manage high end catering halls, it would seem like a likely interest and pursuit. I will say that one of the many lessons I learned in Catering and in Restaurants is that "life is not always fair". Good hearted people just trying to put food on the tables for their families get treated like crap and nasty eccentric restaurant owners get wealth and notoriety. In instances it was literally life and death. I have come to know a good number of restaurant owners in NY and some in Boston. While they were all relatively wealthy people, they also share the trait of being relatively tough and callous people as well, to put it mildly in some cases. As you may know there have been more than 15 criminal charges against the owner of the once, Thatched Cottage! Maybe Shelly felt like he never reached his dream, never developed a multi million $ restaurant on his own. I know he was known by some in the business to be a hard A$$ and in general a hyper-practical thinker and while not a perfect person, I do know if it were up to him he would have treated people exponentially better than pretty much all the restaurant owners I know. I did sense his frustration with this seemingly unfair division of power and wealth, but as I mentioned I knew and saw the love in this great man! He loved his family, he loved his friends and I loved him too. He may not have developed the restaurant and the wealth associated with it, but to me he was RICHER than any of them! He worked hard, kept a loving heart, and of course did his very best! I can only be in awe of the Riches he possessed in the family and in the love he built around himself! Shelly may you rest in PEACE AND LOVE and thank you for always treating me like I was a special young man! My heart goes out to my second mom, Rosemarie and my friends Michelle and Craig! Be certain, he touched so many lives as this is just a few of my experiences as a Korean American punk friend of his son's!

Chicago Blackhawks beat Boston Bruins to win NHL's Stanley Cup
Last updated on 25 June 201325 June 2013 .From the section Ice hockey
The Chicago Blackhawks are NHL champions for the second time in four years after a dramatic 3-2 Stanley Cup victory over the Boston Bruins.
The series looked to be heading for a deciding Game 7 as Boston led 2-1 with 76 seconds left on the clock.
But Bryan Bickell and Dave Bolland scored just 17 seconds apart to seal a stunning comeback for the Blackhawks.
Victory gave Chicago an unassailable 4-2 lead in the best-of-seven series and their fifth overall title.
It was the Blackhawks' third consecutive win in the series and ended a season which began with them setting an NHL record by scoring at least one point in their first 24 games.
"I think there's something about our core," said Patrick Kane, who was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player of the play-offs.
"Hopefully we can stay together a long time, because that's two Cups in four years, and we seem to only be getting better and better as players as time goes on here.
"It's unbelievable to be in this situation."
Boston, who had led the series 2-1, were 1-0 ahead after the first period in the fourth game following Chris Kelly's opener at TD Garden.
Jonathan Toews levelled things up and though Milan Lucic put Boston ahead in the third period, the 2011 champions were beaten as Bickell and Bolland turned it around.
