The sports world was recently in a tizzy over revelations by the former head of Russia's anti-doping laboratory – who has now fled the country – that he helped run a massive doping operation and cover-up that contributed to Russia's impressive haul of medals at the 2014 Olympics. (Russian officials and athletes denied the charges.)

The snow is melting in Boston and it is hard not to feel the optimism this brings. But if you are someone who worries about nuclear issues and need more good news, you can find it in an unlikely place – the new Russian Military Doctrine published this past December.
Russia puts positive spin on nuclear security cooperation – which is good

Read more about Russia puts positive spin on nuclear security cooperation – which is good
Russia's state nuclear corporation, Rosatom, has put out a statement on the Boston Globe story on Russia calling a halt to nearly all U.S.-Russian nuclear security cooperation. (See Russian stories based on the statement here and here.) The statement, in essence, tries to avoid responsibility by saying that cooperation is continuing (citing work on returning highly enriched uranium from other countries to Russia), and to blame the United States for any interruption (citing the U.S. cutoff of nuclear energy and nuclear science cooperation as part of the sanctions over Ukraine).

As the Boston Globe reported Monday, Russia has put a stop, for now, to most U.S.-Russian nuclear security cooperation. Russian, U.S., and world security will be in more danger as a result. But some small pieces of cooperation continue – and with creativity and effort, it may be possible to rebuild a robust nuclear security dialogue of equals, rather than a donor-recipient relationship.

More than two decades of U.S.-Russian cooperation to keep potential nuclear bomb material out of terrorist hands largely came to an end last month, as The Boston Globe reported Monday. Although the dangers have not gone away, Russia is no longer interested in working on most nuclear security projects with the United States— yet another victim of increasing tension between the two countries. The Belfer Center has been centrally involved in these efforts since their inception. Belfer Center experts Graham Allison, Matthew Bunn, and William Tobey offer their thoughts.

Advocates of preventing nuclear terrorism received an early holiday present. Earlier in the year, two of the four Congressional committees most directly responsible for nuclear security policy had included language in bills that would have damaged the United States' ability to engage in nuclear security cooperation with Russia. But Congress has taken responsible action in supporting continued work with Russia in this area in the combined House-Senate version of the FY2015 National Defense Authorization Act.

BEHIND EVERY GREAT MUSICIAN ARE OTHER GREAT MUSICIANS
Becca Jay
Vocals/Guitar
Jay grew up in Herkimer, NY, and made her first pun at the age of 6. When asked how she got into music, said, "Honestly, the whole rest of this website is about me. You should ask the band, they're the real MVPs."
Mikayla Beaulieu
Backup Vocals
When asked how she started singing, Beaulieu says, "I have many memories of me at a young age (I think 3 or 4) singing all the words to Alanis Morrissette's Jagged Little Pill album and Cyndi Lauper's Seven Deadly Cyns. None of that was age appropriate, but I knew it like the back of my hand! My first "performance" was at a campground in New England, and I sang "True Colors" in their talent show at the ripe age of 4-years-old. I even had my own hand movements to go with it. And the rest is history."
Her first Halloween costume was, "A bumblebee, I believe?"
She finds straight lines and symmetrical mandalas to be the most aesthetically pleasing patterns.
A song she always goes back to is "Details in the Fabric" but Jason Mraz and James Morrison because no matter the years, the lyrics still ground her.
She always thought she was a Gryffindor, but found out recently that she is actually a Hufflepuff, which a friend of hers knew right away because of Beaulieu's inclusivity.
Her ideal three-course meal would be: 1) a caesar salad, 2) tortellini in a pink vodka sauce, and 3) French macarons for dessert. Beaulieu would also like to acknowledge that while it may seem from this meal that she should've been born Italian, she believes the macarons "make up for it".
Miller is from Richmond, VA, and began playing the drums
around age 4 or 5:
"I told my parents that I wanted a drum kit and they said if I played piano for a year and still wanted drums, then they'd get me one. I started piano right away and they kept their word! They walked me down the street to my neighbor who was a musician and he sold me my first kit and gave me some great intro lessons. It all took off from there!"
When asked what Mario Kart character she would be, she said, "Yoshi. Always. 'Cause he's a sassy green reptile, duh."
It is important to note that Miller is also a Slytherin.
Her favorite book is The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas and her favorite thing about San Diego is discovering it.
"I'm loving finding all of its hidden treasures and learning all the amazing things about my new city!"
If given the chance to go back in time to any event in history, Miller would choose Anne Boleyn's execution. She says, "This is the first thing that came to mind, so don't judge me... I was a history major and she was one of the people I found most fascinating."
Last, but certainly not least, Miller says if she ordered a steak, she would enjoy a dark beer, such as a stout, or a glass of smooth scotch (neat) with it.
Emma Byrd
Byrd's origin story is not unlike that of an actual bird - specifically a songbird. She took lessons in classical piano until she was ready to leave the nest and go to Berkley College of Music, where she had the opportunity to meet lots of
accomplished and aspiring musicians alike.
Byrd enjoys reading books. "I try to read as many as I can. I really feel that books are the best way to expand our minds while simultaneously capitalizing on alone time."
If Byrd were an animal, she believes she would be a hippo. She says,
"(Hippos) look unassuming, but can quickly switch modes and take down their enemies, then go back to chillin' in some water, you know?"
She is inspired by many musical artists, including Laura Marling and Regina Spektor, some of her favorites. She has been a Spektator* for many years now and also enjoys sitting alone in coffee shops and petting other people's dogs.
Byrd is the reigning champion in a year-long, cumulative Speed competition - a two-player card game in which players stack cards in ascending and descending order until one player's deck is depleted.
Her favorite Halloween candy is chocolate (which is not exactly specific to Halloween except for when it is shaped in a spooky fashion).
*Spektator: A Regina Spektor fan
Brandon Goodrich
Goodrich grew up in San Diego, CA, and played bass for the first time when he was 3-years-old.
"My Dad taught me how to play "I Got My Mind Set On You" by George Harrison. I would sit on his lap and would fret a note with two fingers as he plucked the string. Then I'd pluck the string and he would fret the notes. After about a month I had the whole song down, and I took off from there learning songs by ear."
Goodrich goes by many names, including Brando, B-Tan, and Brandon-B-Tan-Brendanawicz-Goodrich - the Breaker of Chains, the first of his name. Known by few, but loved by all.
If he were a Disney character, he would be Goofy, "Simply because I could be, well, goofy!"
Goodrich's favorite movie is The Green Mile. He says, "Any film that parallels human existence is intriguing to me."
If he could have any superpower, he would want to be able to breathe under water. An avid surfer, Goodrich identifies with fish. Unlike the Disney princess Ariel, he does not feel the need to "be where the people are".
Goodrich is also fluent in chicken, one of his many hidden talents.
The best part of Goodrich's day is, "when I lay down in bed after a long day, put my headphones on, and drift to sleep while listening to relaxing music."

Grunwick strike 40th anniversary celebrated in new exhibition
Posted on October 19, 2016 by James Goddard
The TUC Library has contributed some items to the new exhibition "We are the lions" at Brent Museum and Archives, celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Grunwick strike 1976-78.
Staff from the TUC Library attended the packed launch event in Brent last night and the exhibition opens today (19th October) and runs until March 2018. The exhibition has been created by the Grunwick40 group, combining the Brent Museum and trades council and with funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
The Grunwick strike was an influential period of industrial action involving mainly Asian women workers at a film processing plant in Brent. The TUC Library holds a significant collection of material relating to the strike, including a number of posters and photos that can be seen on our history website here, here and here.
Guests at the launch event viewing the exhibition

"They shall not pass" – Battle of Cable Street anniversary
Last week saw the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Cable Street, 4th October 1936, when thousands of Londoners prevented the march of Oswald Mosley's fascist Blackshirts down Cable Street in the East End.
The rise of fascism across Europe in the early 1930s was of great concern to the TUC and the trade union movement, and they campaigned actively against it.
The cartoon below featured in an issue of the journal of the General and Municipal Workers Union in the 1930s. A blackshirt is showing a trade unionist the "unity" of the fascist cause, and the unionist replies "I seem to remember it isn't reeds you tie up, but trade unionists..".
Anti-fascist cartoon from the GMWU journal, October 1933.
In 1933 a series of marches and demonstrations had been organised by the TUC and unemployed workers organisations to highlight the issue of unemployment and the relationship between economic hardship and the rise of fascist sympathies. The poster below was produced by the Joint Council (TUC and the Labour Party) for the February 1933 National Unemployment Demonstration.
The National Unemployed Workers Movement produced a number of pamphlets on the relationship between unemployment and facsism, such as the one below entitled "Fascist Danger and the Unemployed".
The TUC Library is in the process of relocating to a new building quite close to Cable Street in Tower Hamlets. Our collections will soon be moved to a London Metropolitan University building on Old Castle Street, between Aldgate and Aldgate East tube stations. Please refer back to the TUC Library webpages for updates about the progress of the relocation.
For more information about the items featured in this post, or any other TUC Library material, get in touch at tuclib@londonmet.ac.uk or phone 020 7320 3516.

BYTHEWOOD RUNS `BIKER' OFF ROAD
MALCOLM JOHNSON; Courant Film CriticTHE HARTFORD COURANT
At the start, "Biker Boyz," a full-throttle free-for-all about mostly black underground motorcycle clubs, roars into sheer chaos and near total unintelligibility, what with revving motors, bleary night shots and arty gimmicks, such as red/yellow/green wide-angle reflections in traffic lights.
From beginning to end, a favorite device of Reggie Rock Bythewood, who is making his major-feature debut, fills the screen with a tunnel-vision image, supposedly experienced by motorcycle racers. Up to the final race, this glassy bit of expressionism undercuts the excitement of the speed contests, which are poorly filmed in any case. But a top-flight cast, with Laurence Fishburne's Smoke and Derek Luke's Kid locked in an Oedipal duel, sometimes lifts "Biker Boyz" above its clumsy direction.
Fishburne, looking exceedingly hefty, plays Smoke, "King of Cali," with imperial majesty, strutting in such regal raiment as a silver-buttoned, double-breasted greatcoat. The heavily slangy screenplay, by Bythewood and Craig Fernandez, sets up Smoke, president of the Black Knights, as the emperor of exceedingly dangerous street races, unassailable in his power and prowess. But Luke's Kid vows the topple the king, and to win his helmet, or "lid."
Bythewood promotes his picture as a "contemporary Western on wheels," but the name of the Black Knights club suggests something more truly classical. The races resemble medieval jousts, which often left one lancer dead or lamed. Thus, in the opening, Smoke defeats his doughty foe, Terrence DaShon Howard's Chu Chu, who spends the remainder of the film in a wheelchair after a fiery crash that kills Slick Will, the King's royal mechanic and father of Kid.
Though Kid, a husky hunk of 18, does not blame Smoke for his father's demise, he feels compelled to do battle against the King of Cali. But Smoke refuses to accept his challenge, claiming that Kid lacks the experience to ride against him. Thus Kid forms his own club, Biker Boyz, the most multiracial of the racing brigades. His initial mates are Brendan Fehr's hip white Stuntman, a latter-day version of Dennis Hopper's Billy, and Rick Gonzalez's Latino Primo, a comic Chicano in the tradition of the buffoon Panchos of "Don Quixote" and "The Cisco Kid."
For all of his macho bravado and skill, Kid finds himself caught between two women. Tina, a tattoo artist playfully delineated by Meagan Good, supports his ambitions, in part because her brother, Larenz Tate's Wood, is the top mechanic of the Strays, the Black Knights' chief rivals. But Kid's widowed mother, Anita, intensely acted by Vanessa Bell Calloway, becomes enraged when she learns of her boy's racing games. An emergency room nurse, she hotly tells her son that his ilk is viewed as "organ donors."
"Biker Boyz" boasts an impressive ensemble, including a cool, cutting Kid Rock as the arrogant president of the Strays; the mighty Djimon Hounsou as the head man of the Soul Brothers and the eternally gorgeous Lisa Bonet as Queenie, the leader of a female biker pack, and sometime consort of the King. But often incomprehensible dialogue, flat pacing and sketchily defined relationships make "Biker Boyz" something of a drag.
In terms of action, "Biker Boyz" attempts to deliver the flash and heat of the nitrogen-fueled "The Fast and the Furious," but Bythewood lacks the know-how of Rob Cohen. Motorcycle races may be difficult to film, but Bythewood fails to convey any of the thrills of surging at killing speeds on a robot stallion, the wind (and bugs) smashing into your visor, the blurred road pitted or splashed with perils at every burning furlong.
* * * * Excellent; * * * Very Good; * * Good; * Fair; open star Poor
BIKER BOYZ is directed by Reggie Rock Bythewood and written by Craig Fernandez and Bythewood, based on the New Times article by Michael Gougis. Produced by Stephanie Allain, Gina Prince-Bythewood and Erwin Stoff. Featuring Laurence Fishburne, Derek Luke, Orlando Jones, Djimon Hounsou, Lisa Bonet, Brendan Fehr, Larenz Tate, Kid Rock, Rick Gonzalez, Megan Good, Salli Richardson-Whitfield, Vanessa Bell Calloway, Dante Basco, Dion Basco, Tyson Beckford, Terrence DaShon Howard and Titus Welliver. Opening today at area theaters. Running time: 111 minutes. Rated R for street talk, a few moments of sensuality (including a buttocks tattoo) and a shocking crash and death.
Fast and Furious (movie series)


I've been in a lot of meetings lately. But it's a good thing. Meetings mean tables … and we love tables. As part of our fellowship with Street Psalms (www.streetpsalms.org) in Tacoma, we are digging into the concept of Table Sitting, Setting and Serving. It's a philosophy of ministry that is rooted in the Biblical concept of Hospitality. We've been doing it for years but now we have the beautiful theology behind it.
It starts with Table Sitting: going to another group's table to listen and learn. Schools, churches, agencies, nonprofits, businesses, the shelter, the streets. We do this a lot. Then comes Table Setting: hosting tables so that diverse people and networks can collaborate. For us, the two main tables are the monthly CaN (Churches as Neighborhood) Centers lunch and the four CPT (Community Partnership Team) meetings. Please join us—free lunch and effective strategies for healthier kids, families and neighborhoods!
And finally, there's Table Serving: rolling up our sleeves to help other nonprofits and ministries with strategic planning, fundraising, events, conflict resolution and capacity expansion. Examples include Salem for Refugees, IKE Box, Hope Station, Salem Free Clinics, the NW HUB, Interfaith Hospitality Network/Family Promise, Salem Dream Center, and the Community Homeless Connect events.
There are lots of good causes. And lots of good organizations to tackle each cause. This creates a challenge in Salem-Keizer: plenty of left-hands and right-hands doing good, but often with (unintended) duplication and competition. Too many branded messages. Too many events. Donor and partner fatigue. The answer is Collaborative Impact. Have you noticed how CASA/Every Child Oregon, Liberty House, Family Building Blocks, and Catholic Community Services/Fostering Hope have banded together for the health and well-being of children? Four nonprofits working in unison to educate the community, recruit volunteers, improve systems and generate outcomes? You will see a similar collaborative coming together called Strong Families, Safe Neighborhoods. And yet another that will address the strength of our schools and educational outcomes. The CaN Centers and CPTs are additional examples.
That's a lot of tables. Coming together. Think of your own tables … the tables at which you sit, set and serve. How might they invite? Engage? Serve? Collaboration is not easy, but it yields the higher out-comes. Imagine one church, all alone, trying to host dozens of homeless families each year. Tall order. But when more than 20 churches band together—i.e. Family Promise/IHN—to share mission, fellowship and resources—it happens.

Aston Martin Announces Valkyrie AMR Pro Track Car
by Edward Jones
in Aston Martin, Valkyrie
The Aston Martin Valkyrie is the English automaker's extraordinarily extreme hypercar that will set a new precedent within the company. Today, Aston Martin has announced a new take on the Valkyrie, one that is more track-focused: the Valkyrie AMR Pro. While the road-going Valkyrie was restrained by the limitations created by making it road-legal, this new AMR Pro breaks free from any limits.
Of the changes, the ones you'll see right off the bat are found on the exterior. The new appearance of the Valkyrie AMR Pro is created by a suite of new aerodynamic surfaces. Larger front and rear wings dominate the new hypercar's expression, while more minute modifications can be found across its body.
Powering the car is a naturally-aspirated 6.5-liter Cosworth V12 engine that has more power and torque than the road-going Valkyrie – exact figures have not been released as of yet. However, Aston Martin has stated that the Valkyrie AMR Pro will reach a top speed close to 250 mph.
Coolest Cars in the World
Those who buy the Valkyrie AMR Pro will go through a rigorous development program that's tailored to their personal abilities. What's more, facilities used by Aston Martin Red BUll Racing's F1 drivers will be available to the new owners of the Valkyrie AMR Pro.
Only 25 examples of the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro will be created, but they have all been purchased. Expect deliveries in 2020.

Q: discord py bot sees only one member I'm trying to get the # of all users on server, the bot sees only itself although it responds to the messages of the others.
client = discord.Client()

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
  msg=message.content
  if message.author == client.user:
    return
  if msg.startswith("count"):
    await message.channel.send(client.users)

The code outputs a list with one user (bot itself)

A: You need to enable the Intents, they are missing.
Make sure to turn them on in the Discord Developer Portal for your application (Settings -> Bot).
To implement them to your code you can use the following:
intents = discord.Intents.all() # Imports all the Intents
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix="YourPrefix", intents=intents)

Or in your case:
intents = discord.Intents.all() # Imports all the Intents
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

You can read more in the Docs here.

A: Well the issue you're having is because since version 1.5 (not 1.6 as i initially tought, thanks Łukasz Kwieciński) discord.py needs you to specify the intents your bot needs in order to receive such information from discord's API.
Your code will work if you change this:
intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True
client = discord.Client(intents=intents)

For it to work though you'll need to go to your bot's page and enable the members intent.
For what i can see in your code it appears you're trying to make a command, i strongly suggest you start using the commands extension. Your code would look like this:
from discord.ext import commands

intents = discord.Intents.default()
intents.members = True

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='.', intents=intents)

@bot.command()
async def count(ctx):
    await ctx.send(bot.users)

bot.run(TOKEN)

The resulting code is more compact, readable and maintainable.

Researchers Have Calculated How Much Time We Spend Slacking Off at Work
By Tanya Basu
Photo: John Lund/Sam Diephuis/Corbis
Sometimes you're at work and you just have to watch that one cute cat-/dog-/panda-playing-in-the-snow video. And then you spot that girl from high school on your Facebook feed and wonder what she's been up to all these years … Would you look at that? It's lunchtime! Time to skip out of work for an hour and wait in an obnoxiously long cafeteria line with your co-workers and dissect that cute animal video you just saw.
But exactly how much time are we wasting at work? That's what a group of economists — Michael Burda, Kaie Genadek, and Daniel Hamermersh — wanted to find out, and they've published their results in a new National Bureau of Economic Research working paper.
Using the self-reported American Time Use Survey, the economists found that, on average, workers spent about 34 minutes per day not working. Doesn't seem a lot, right? But when the economists got rid of the people who claimed they didn't spend any time slacking off (uh-huh, right), the figure rose to 50 minutes. About half that time wasted was spent on eating, the other half on "leisure" activities (watercooler break!).
A Google Exec on How to Organize Your Workweek
Don't Waste Your Two Most Productive Hours
Perhaps unsurprisingly, not everyone wasted the same proportion of the workday. The authors explained that, all else being equal, the more someone worked, the higher the proportion of the time they slacked off — until about 42 hours a week. The more time in the office workers logged above this level, the less they slacked off, proportionally. Those eager-beaver, first-to-arrive-and-last-to-leave types seemed more capable of resisting the lure of internet cats than the rest of us.
Like any research based on self-reported statistics, there are some limitations here, simply because there could be various biases to how people estimated or reported the amount of time they spent slacking. It's also important to realize that slacking tendencies may vary a great deal over time, depending on the economy. In a section of the paper titled "To Loaf or Not to Loaf: That Is the Question," the economists note that recessions make slacking off more of a luxury than during a "normal" economy, as worker jobs hang in the balance and are at risk of being axed. The data was from 2003 to 2012, so it captured much of the recession, meaning it may be that we're slacking more these days than we were back then, given that the economy's a bit stronger.
But maybe the simpler point to keep in mind here is that not all slacking is bad. In fact, as the Science of Us noted earlier this month in a video, taking breaks is a good thing, both for your mind and creative output. Afternoon naps are a treasured part of Japanese work culture, and working for more than four and a half hours at a time actually leads to a diminishing rate of productivity. In fact, some researchers think the ideal work/break balance comes out to 17 hard-earned minutes of fun time for every 52 minutes of work. If you calculate that for a ten-hour day, that comes out 147.8 minutes — or over two hours — of "loafing" time.
So take heart, worker: You're not a lazy bum straight off the set of The Office. You're merely taking a brain break.

Australian Prime Minister jeered by angry bushfire victims
International Friday 03rd January 2020 05:29 AM REPORT
Hello and welcome to the details of Australian Prime Minister jeered by angry bushfire victims and now with the details

MELBOURNE, Jan 3 — Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison faced enraged hecklers and an angry firefighter in a town ravaged by bushfires, piling pressure on the leader amid an unprecedented crisis that has killed at least 18 people.
A firefighter refused to shake Morrison's hand when he visited the town of Cobargo in New South Wales state yesterday.
Video footage showed Morrison tried to grab the man's hand, who then got up and walked away, sparking an apology from the prime minister. A local fire official explained that the man had lost his house while defending others' homes.
Another man blasted Morrison for watching fireworks over Sydney Harbour from his official waterfront mansion, Kirribilli House, while fires raged further south on New Year's Eve.
"You won't be getting any votes down here, buddy. You're an idiot," the man shouted.
"I don't see Kirribilli burning after the fireworks," he screamed.
Morrison said today he didn't take the attacks personally.
"I understand the hurt, the anger and the frustration," he said in an interview on 3AW radio.
"Whether they're angry with me or they're angry about their situation, all I know is that they're hurting and it's my job to be there to try and offer some comfort and support," he said.
Morrison had walked away from a Cobargo woman who urged him to provide more funding to the town and state firefighters.
"This is not fair. We're totally forgotten about down here. Every single time this area has a flood or a fire, we get nothing," another woman shouted as Morrison drove away.
Even a state politician from his own Liberal party whose seat is in the region took a swipe at the prime minister.
"To be honest, the locals probably gave him the welcome he probably deserved," said New South Wales transport minister Andrew Constance.
The prime minister, who won a surprise election victory last May, ended 2019 on a sour note with fires raging across five states while he took off on a family holiday to Hawaii. Facing criticism, he cut the holiday short and apologised for making a mistake.
He urged locals and holidaymakers, who yesterday were forced to evacuate fire ravaged areas, to be patient, but he is facing criticism for not doing enough to fight the underlying causes of the bushfires or combating the crisis.
"The challenge now is the scale of what we're seeing across several states now. Those resources are being stretched," he said on local radio. — Reuters

ST. GEORGE — A rainstorm moving over Southern Utah Friday evening is producing flash flood conditions in some areas.
Bookmark this page for continuous updates about flash flood potential in Southern Utah Friday evening.
Update 9:45 p.m. Flooding has led to temporary road closures in Washington City.
Update 9:30 p.m. Flooding has been reported in the Hurricane Valley area.
Update 7:45 p.m. The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood warning for the eastern portion of Zion National Park.
Update 7:40 p.m. State Route 143 has reopened in Iron County, according to the Utah Department of Transportation.
Water in the street has led to the closure of potions of Main Street in Washington City.
Flooding is reportedly occurring in parts of LaVerkin and Hurricane, including the Dixie Springs area along Sand Hollow Road.
Personnel from Hurricane Valley Fire District have been paged to their stations in anticipation of flooding.
A flash flood warning for is in effect for east-central Washington County until 10:30 p.m.

The National Weather Service's radar rainfall estimates indicate that the headwater areas have received 1.5 inches of rainfall in about an hour. Storms are forming downstream, increasing the flash flood threat.
Remain alert for flooding even in locations not receiving rain. Dry washes, streams and rivers can become raging killer currents in a matter of minutes, even from distant rainfall.
Avoid already flooded and high-velocity flow areas. Do not try to cross a flowing stream on foot where water is above your knees.
Thanks Bob. At least you don't have to worry about burning those darn weeds.
More coming tonite. Hold on to your hats!

Q: Fitting multiple y (Panel Data) for NeuralProphet Model I'm trying to build a NeuralProphet model for prediction with panel data.
I am aware that the model only take 2 variables, ds and y.
However, here is how my dataset appears:
ds          A   B   C   D
2021-01-01  43  22  31  15
2021-02-01  24  31  52  22
2021-03-01  22  54  17  67
2021-04-01  16  66  12  32
2021-05-01  36  31  18  57
2021-06-01  34  11  53  37
...

I want to fit each variables (A, B, C, D) as y into the model.
below is my code:
for i in variables:
  xx = data_train[['ds', i]]
  yy = data_test[['ds', i]]
  xx.columns=['ds', 'y']
  yy.columns=['ds', 'y']
  m = NeuralProphet()
  history = m.fit(xx, freq='M')
  forecast = m.predict(yy)

The training model's history is correctly returned the training metrics result.
However, it encounters KeyError when predicting test data. My desired result is:
ds          A   Predicted
2021-07-01  43  ...
2021-08-01  24  ...
...

ds          B   Predicted
2021-07-01  43  ...
2021-08-01  24  ...
...

ds          C   Predicted
2021-07-01  43  ...
2021-08-01  24  ...
...

ds          D   Predicted
2021-07-01  43  ...
2021-08-01  24  ...
...

I believe that my code is probably incorrect, but i have no idea how to handle this.
Is there a clear way to iterate training on multiple variables while also returning the result of each variables?

In new Passover children's books, a bespectacled lion reads the Haggadah and a Depression-era mitzvah
By	Penny Schwartz	 March 8, 2021 11:28 am
(Kar-Ben Books; Candlewick; Holiday House Publishing)
BOSTON (JTA) — On the eve of Passover during the Depression, a juggler in ragged clothes is invited into the home of a poor family that has a bare Seder table. It's a poignant scene in "The Passover Guest," the captivating debut picture book by author Susan Kusel, a longtime Judaica librarian who was inspired by a classic Yiddish tale, "The Magician," by I.L. Peretz.
By lovely coincidence, readers have that rare opportunity to enjoy another retelling of the beloved story in a new publication of "The Magician's Visit," adapted by Barbara Diamond Goldin, with new illustrations by Eva Sanchez Gomez. The original 1993 edition was among the earliest books by Goldin, now one of the country's most acclaimed writers of Jewish children's books.
A different Seder table takes center stage in "The Four Questions," where a bespectacled lion reads from a Haggadah at a lavish ceremonial meal with guests that include a zebra, a young monkey and other whimsical animals. The gloriously illustrated book is a new edition of the 1989 classic by the late artist Ori Sherman with text by the acclaimed novelist and poet Lynne Sharon Schwartz.
These are some of the standouts in this spring's crop of engaging new children's books for Passover, the eight-day Festival of Freedom that begins this year on the evening of March 27.
Other titles feature lighthearted humorous stories and a lively interactive family Hagaddah with tips for this COVID-19 era, when many Seder guests may be joining remotely.
"Baby Moses in a Basket"
Caryn Yacowitz; illustrated by Julie Downing
Candlewick; ages 3 to 7
In simple rhyming verse, Yacowitz reimagines the biblical story of baby Moses as his mother sets him adrift in a basket on the Nile to save him from harm from the Egyptian Pharaoh. The river's creatures protect baby Moses until he is discovered by Pharaoh's daughter. Downing's beautifully colored double-page illustrations of a wide-winged ibis, a hippo, crocodile and an escort of butterflies bring the story to life.
"Seder in Motion: A Haggadah to Move Body and Soul"
Rabbi Ron Isaacs and Dr. Leora Isaacs; illustrated by Martin Wickstrom
Behrman House; all ages
Here's a lively family Haggadah that encourages Seder participants of any age to feel a personal connection to the Passover story. The engaging style follows the traditional order of the Seder and features Jewish customs from around the world along with thought-provoking questions. There are plenty of tips to include Remote guests.
"Meet the Matzah: A Passover Story"
Alan Silberberg
Viking; ages 3 to 5
In this playful and zany story, the award-winning cartoonist Silberberg sets the humorous action in an imaginary classroom where the "students" are types of breads. Alfie Koman, a shy matzah, tries to retell the story of Passover, but the school sourdough, Loaf, takes over and stirs trouble. Alfie must decide whether to leave his hiding place to confront the mean-spirited Loaf. Expect lots of laughs from Loaf's made-up version of the Ten Plagues (among them no WiFi and broccoli for dessert).
"Matzah Craze"
Jamie Kiffel-Alcheh; illustrated by Lauren Gallegos
Kar-Ben; ages 4-9
At Noa's multicultural school, the kids like to swap what's in their lunch boxes. But during Passover, when Noa has an unusual looking cracker – her matzah – she explains to her friends that she can't swap. In Kiffel-Alcheh's delightful rhyming story, the spunky Noa, with copper-toned skin and frizzy red hair, figures out how to share her favorite ways to eat matzah.
"The Great Passover Escape"
Pamela Moritz; illustrated by Florence Weiser
It's the eve of Passover at the Biblical Zoo in Jerusalem, and Elle the elephant and Kang the kangaroo are eager to find a way to escape and find a Seder. Their friend Chimp answers their Passover questions and joins the adventure. Will the trio get past the locked zoo gate and find a ritual meal? Pamela Moritz's humor-filled story is embellished with Florence Weiser's brightly colored illustrations.
"The Passover Guest"
Susan Kusel; illustrated by Sean Rubin
Neal Porter Books/Holiday House; ages 4 to 8
Set in Washington, D.C., in 1933, during the Depression, Kusel's warmhearted story takes its inspiration from Uri Shulevitz's version of Peretz's Yiddish tale "The Magician," which she loved as a child. On the eve of Passover, a young girl named Muriel wanders around her favorite sites in the nation's capital. She's in no hurry to go home because her family does not have enough money for a Seder.
At the Lincoln Memorial, Muriel is enchanted by a juggling magician dressed in rags. When the stranger turns up at her family's door and is invited in for Passover, their bare table miraculously fills with an abundance of food for the Seder. Could the mysterious guest have been Elijah? Sean Rubin's vibrant, expressive illustrations pay tribute to Marc Chagall, Rubin writes in an artist's note.
"The Magician's Visit"
Based on a story by I.L. Peretz; adapted by Barbara Diamond Goldin; illustrations by Eva Sanchez Gomez
Green Bean Books; ages 4-8
In this masterful retelling of Peretz's Yiddish tale, Goldin takes readers back to an old world shtetl. In the days before Passover, a stranger dressed in rags mesmerizes the villagers with his spellbinding magic. When he turns up at the door of a couple who have become too poor to make their own Seder, the magician produces a wondrous and full table. May they partake in this Seder? the couple asks. And who is the stranger, who has disappeared when they return. Gomez's colorful illustrations capture the era and the magic of the story.
"Moses Could Have Been Selfish"
MJ Wexler
MJ Wexler Books; ages 3 to 7
In this simply told rhyming story, Wexler retells the story of Moses and the Exodus from Egypt in an accessible style for young kids, emphasizing standing up against injustice. Questions at the end encourage discussion.
"The Four Questions"
Illustrated by Ori Sherman; text by Lynne Sharon Schwartz
Levine Querido; ages 8 and up
In this exquisite pairing of text and art, Sherman and Schwartz captivate readers – kids and adults – with the Four Questions traditionally recited by the youngest child at the beginning of the Seder. The lavishly illustrated book is a new printing of the original first published in 1989.
Like the Seder itself, the book has the air of mystery and intrigue. Schwartz answers the Four Questions with a lyrical narrative of the Passover story and its rituals. Sherman fills the bordered pages with gloriously colored illustrations of whimsical elephants, monkeys, fish, goats and birds. Turn the book upside down for a view of the Four Questions written in Hebrew calligraphy and other illustrations.
A back page note by Ori Z. Soltes, a scholar of Jewish art, explains that Sherman's dazzling art carries forth traditions from hieroglyphics to illuminated Jewish manuscripts and the centuries-old painted murals of Eastern Europe's wooden synagogues.

I genuinely love food. I mean, who doesn't? I'm an eater and I'm not afraid to admit it. I especially love the way that food tells a story about an area, a people and a culture. One of my favorite parts of exploring new places is immersing myself in the local foods.
I was lucky enough to have a long list of things to try when visiting Lisbon, a long list that I was determined to conquer.
My friends, teachers and fellow bloggers seemed so enthusiastic about Portuguese food that it only made me more excited. I was extremely surprised by the value of the food; the portions were extremely generous in comparison with the prices. I may have left the city feeling a few pounds heavier, but I left feeling satisfied knowing that I had successfully tried everything on my list. Plus, Lisbon is a very hilly city, and I'd like to think that all the uphill walking canceled out some of the calories.
"Bistec a la portuguesa" is a dish consisting of thin juicy beef steak topped with a layer of Spanish style ham or "jamon serrano." It is drizzled in a light wine-based gravy and usually paired with potatoes or salad. Recipes vary from region to region and sometimes instead of ham your steak will be topped with a fried egg. I don't usually order steak when eating out, mostly for reasons of budget, but top a steak with my favorite Spanish ham and there's no keeping me away. Also, the prices in Portugal continued to amaze me, even for a generous steak dish. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).

Dschinghis Khan have returned to their roots, to where it all began in February 1979. Every lover of music and fan of the group can delight in the fact that the band will carry on for at least another 40 years. Even 39 years after the group was founded by Ralph Siegel, Dschinghis Khan have lost nothing of their fascinating nature. Hot dancing to well-known, intoxicating, unique music, surrounded by a gigantic stage show, inspired colourful costumes and an unbelievable choreography, continue to thrill audiences in TV and radio shows, concerts in arenas and galas all over the world.
"Worldwide Dschinghis Khan Comeback" The wait is now at an end…!
In the 13th century, the Mongolian leader Genghis Khan (in German Dschinghis Khan) and his hoard of riders conquered a vast area of the world as it was known at that time. Centuries later, a colourful, historical and costumed music group from Munich did the same with a surprise attack on the world of music. Dschinghis Khan won all of the important music awards, went gold and platinum in 20 countries and sold no less than 20 million records. They were guests on 240 TV shows and smiled at us from the front covers of the leading magazines. Dschinghis Khan is globally accepted as having been the most successful group ever produced by Germany.
"Moscow Moscow" – the four-lingual Ralph Siegel football song for the 2018 World Cup ("Moscow" "Moskva" "Moscow" "Moscú"), by Dschinghis Khan with the feature guests, Jay Khan, Alexander Malinin & Ustinya, Jorge Jiménez & Marifer Medrano, after weeks of studio work, the good mood work is finished, mixed, Art Work was created and the World Cup could begin – the stadiums of this world have a new anthem. On May 31, 2018, Ralph Siegel presented Dschinghis Khan to the "Who Is Who" of the media in a flurry of flashlights in the "Hugos Tresor" in-location in Munich. At the beginning of June 2018, the worldwide release of Moscow Moscow took place.
Ralph Siegel rides again with Dschinghis Khan, Jay Khan, Alexander Malinin & Ustinya, the classic Mexican couple, the tenor Jorge Jiménez & Marifer Medrano, in order to conquer the world yet again with "Moskau Moskau". The whole horde is proud to be part of such a special story. We invite the whole world to become part of this story!

Where is Lisa Kelly Now? Ice Road Truckers Canceled!
Lisa Kelly is a professional truck driver, who is known for her appearance on History channel reality series, Ice Road Truckers.
Where is Lisa Kelly Now?
Born on December 8, 1980, in Grand Rapids, Michigan, she moved to Alaska when she was six. Growing up in the wilderness, she was fascinated by the wild adventures of Alaska since the young age and went on becoming an ice road trucker.
Starting her driving career with an Alaskan haulage company, Carlile Transportation, she joined Ice Road Truckers as an only female trucker in season 3. After appearing in IRT, she proved her excellence in what is considered to be a man's job. She appeared regularly on season 4 and 5 but took time off in season 6 to be with her family. She returned to her icy road adventure in season 7.
Apart from trucking, Lisa has always been passionate about dirt biking and horse riding. As of now, she seems busy pursuing her passion. Perhaps, horse riding is another career choice that she could consider if not truck driving. She owns pet horses with her husband, Traves Kelly, a dirt biker, with whom she got married in 2008 after dating for four years.
What is Ice Road Truckers Lisa Kelly net worth in 2018?
Since IRT season 11 ended in November last year, she has been regularly posting photos and videos from her trips and races with horses. According to normal schedule, the show's season 12 should have been running at this time, but there's been no news of it. So, fans have started assuming that the show has got canceled. But, Lisa has said that they didn't film their journey through the winter roads last year.
The show's one and only original cast member, Alex Debogorski also hinted fans that new season won't air in 2018. Now, we can just hope for the show to be picked up for a new season this winter.

Cryptocurrencies Are Worse Ponzi Schemes
Most scams are only viable at a small scale. Strangers in Paris might fasten a "friendship bracelet" around a snatched wrist and then demand payment for it, but this trick can't go beyond a few tourists losing tiny amounts of money. If it becomes too common – with Av des Champs-Élysées flooded with grifters offering bracelets – tourists will get smart and the grift won't work. There will never be a billion dollar friendship bracelet industry.
There are only about three or four cons that work at scale (thank God). The most prevalent is the bagholder con: borrow money from some people, use their money to inflate your perceived value, borrow a larger amount of money from more people, and then use their money to repay the first.
This scales very well. In fact, it has to scale. The moment there are no new investors – when Paul wants his money back, and no Peter exists to rob – the scheme falls apart.
Ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, MLM schemes, and stock market pump-and-dumps are riffs on this idea. Karl Marx identified capitalism itself as a bagholder con, requiring ever-increasing profits to support itself. Regardless of whether he was right, the con succeeds because it's reminiscent of how real investment looks and works. "Today, you pay me x. Tomorrow, I pay you x(1+y)." This can be a healthy thing, rewarding risk-takers and people with vision. Done right, it is nothing less than fiduciary time travel, moving money from the future (where it's useless) to the present (where it's not).
"This thing will be worth lots of money tomorrow. If I just had enough cash to get it off the ground…"
But in bagholder cons, the thing is worth nothing. It's a lemon. It will have no value tomorrow, next week, next year; it is pluperfectly worthless except as the life support system for a speculation bubble. Sometimes there is no "thing" at all, just a wind-filled space. Charles Ponzi's 1920 scheme (which involved the arbitrate of postal coupons) was exposed because it was physically impossible for Ponzi to be doing what he said he was doing: he'd have needed to mail hundreds of millions of coupons, exceeding all legitimate mail in circulation many times over.
The winners in such schemes are typically people who invest early, have the value of their share pumped by gullible "bag holders", and then pull their cash out before reality reasserts and the price crashes to the floor.
The losers are the people who get in late, or those don't sell – those who think that the price crash is some moral test the have to pass.
Technically speaking, anyone who invests in anything is a loser. There's no way around it. Money has gone from your pocket to someone else's. You might expect to regain it later, but until that happens and you cash out successfully, you have lost 100% of your investment. This is similar to how any money added to a poker pot should be regarded as lost money – until you win, it's gone. But gambling is universally seen as either a fun game or a harmful addiction, while investment (at final evaluation, gambling with a business degree) is regarded as responsible financial behavior. You're building the future! Maybe your own. Maybe someone else's.
It's psychologically interesting to watch scammed people in action. Some are innocent naifs who were duped into believing a bad investment was a good one (Charles Ponzi's scheme was a good example). Sometimes, they're doubly duped: they think they're getting in on a scam's ground floor when the actual mark is them (most MLMs fit this pattern). David W. Maurer's 1940 book The Big Con describes how surprisingly few victims of cons actually believe the con was a legitimate way of making money. Instead, most believed they were being invited to rip off someone else.
But in either case, the mastermind behind the con does not want anyone to sell. This deflates the bubble, and the bubble's the only valuable part. So you see conversational patterns cultivated that can only be called cultlike. Unquestioning devotion. Denial of any possible failure. Criticism isn't tolerated. Questions aren't asked. Delusional "yeah, we're all at a party together! WOOO!" styles of rhetoric. There's a specific way they talk that you don't see from normal people.
I am suspicious when I see this sort of thing. Hype is a bad signal. It almost looks as if the hype is the entire point, and there's nothing underneath.
("hodler" in the second user's name is affectionate slang for "holding" onto your Bitcoin instead of selling as the price starts to fall.)
In most cases, people with investments have little reason to talk about their investments. If I had a pirate's treasure map, the last thing I'd do would be to brag about how cool it is to go looking for treasure, or how digging on remote islands will change your life. This can only hurt me, by increasing the odds that the pirate treasure will be found before I get there.
But suppose I didn't have a pirate's treasure map. Suppose my income actually came from selling fake maps. Then I might talk about it a lot.
But are cryptocurrencies Ponzi schemes?
The question illustrates a weakness in language. You can say no or yes and be right. Is it literally a Ponzi scheme? No. There are superficial differences. Ponzi schemes are centralized, run by a single criminal, and involve direct transfers of "new money" to pay off old investors. Bitcoin does not have these features.
But if you're asking "does it share every interesting trait with Ponzi schemes", I think this is the case.
Every promise of cryptocurrency having real-world utility has thus far failed to materialize. It's slow, wasteful, expensive, and volatile. Mistakes are permanently written onto an immutable ledger, lost money can't be recovered, and most solutions (such as "smart contracts") involve tying the cryptocurrency back to a regulatory body, defeating its purpose.
Various companies adopted Bitcoin in light of the first bubble. Most eventually dropped it, some with frank admissions that it was not suitable for anything except a bubble. Stripe:
Our hope was that Bitcoin could become a universal, decentralized substrate for online transactions and help our customers enable buyers in places that had less credit card penetration or use cases where credit card fees were prohibitive. Over the past year or two, as block size limits have been reached, Bitcoin has evolved to become better-suited to being an asset than being a means of exchange.
Proper investment moves money from the future into the present. Cryptocurrencies do the reverse: move money from the present into the future. Tons of people are still "hodling" as we speak, trying to parlay their savings into a profit in the eternal tomorrow. Because they've been told to do so, by people who do not have their interests at heart.
You'll notice that most cryptocurrency hype focuses, not on things crypto is doing now, but on things that it could do in the future. As David Gerard says, "could" is a misspelling of "doesn't."
But this is where we see the main difference between cryptos and Ponzi schemes. They're bad differences. They
Charles Ponzi was one man. When he ended up in prison. Bitcoin, for example, doesn't. It's
Likewise, Ponzi proposed a simple. This could be readily tested against reality, and when it failed, his credibility vanished.
But Bitcoin has no way to fail. One almost thinks it was designed to have no way to fail.
There is no real endpoint Bitcoin is pointed toward. There are several. Evangelists say it will
Bank the unbanked
Separate money from the state
Create a unified world currency
Protect the economy from crashes
Enable individuals to transact outside of a legal framework
Some of these ideas make no sense, and some fight each other. But that's not the point. This multi-goal argument allows cryptos to continue to seem like a good idea no matter how badly a given prediction fails. It's a decentralized Ponzi scheme. It takes the bubble and welds nearly unbreakable metal around it, keeping the bagholders from selling.
Bitcoin is propositionally unfalsifiable. No matter how badly a given promise crashes and burns, there's always going to be something else it could possibly do. You never have to look like an idiot for investing in Bitcoin. You do have to become an idiot, however.

Sent from my Verizon BlackBerry Bold


but, what is the biggest injector size you can run with only a chip, exhaust, testpipe, dv?
i have an 01 with GIAC X chip and i found a good deal on some 310cc injectors. would these be beneficial to me?
im curious to know this as well, someone out there knows the answer... im thinking probably nothing bigger than 440cc.... green tops... is that correct or can you go bigger?
exactly. you would be running super super rich, and replacing your plugs every 100 miles. stick with the stock injectors until you get a bigger turbo and software.
what software are you running? and what fuel pressure,3 bar 4 bar??
This is a good read !!!
Many car owners of late model cars have made changes to their engines by installing a bigger cam, headers, supercharger, turbocharger, stroker kit, porting the heads or intake, or hundreds of other improvements. Unfortunately you have found that the engine changes and modifications did not yield the HP results that you expected.
Next you purchase a "chip" that is guaranteed to improve the HP output of the engine. You installed the "chip" but couldn't really tell much difference. You buy another from a different manufacture but it is about the same. Now you have several hundred dollars into "chips" that have not fulfilled your expectations. Many car owners are forced to return the ECM for "reprogramming" numerous times with the late model "flash memory" systems.
Simple. How can you expect someone to make a "chip" to work for your car when there are literally thousands of combinations for every vehicle? How can one "chip" do all of that? Must be a "Magic chip" huh? Don't get me wrong, many manufacturers have designed "combinations" that work. They give you an explicit list of items to change along with the "chip" and the "package" works OK. But change one thing and it's time to start all over again. With "chips" ranging in price from $75 to $350 each plus the cost of shipping and not to mention the downtime you have while searching or waiting for the new "chip" one can see where a $1000 or so investment into a programmable system is better in the long run.
What is the answer to getting the most HP out of your combination?
The Programmable Computers have much to offer over the factory ECM's with "chip" changes. The key to these systems is that you are in control of changes that you would like to make. If the car doesn't perform properly, simply turn on the laptop and fix it. The software shows you the condition of the sensors on-line and in real time. The changes you make effect the engine immediately. If the change is not what you wanted, you don't have to buy a new "chip" or send anything back, you just type in a new value. All of the changes are direct to the computer and retained in memory, even if you unplug the ECM and store it in the garage. The files can be downloaded to your laptop and stored for backup or off-line modification.
Why does the Programmable System work better?
Easy, the stock systems that utilize MAF (mass air flow) devices measure airflow into the engine and proportion fuel to the engine based on a preset air fuel ratio for economy. Unfortunately the MAF sensor was never designed to read the airflows above the cruise and part throttle operation. Now the computer must calculate fuel from a factory table based on RPM and calculated load. The programmable systems allow you to program every engine RPM and Load point. Fuel and Spark are controlled by changing the Fuel and Spark "Maps" based on feedback and performance. Feedback can be in the form of a engine or chassis dyno, wide band oxygen sensor or even a standard O2 sensor. The most important feature is that the unit is Re-Programmable and when you decide to change cams because you find a better one, you have nothing else to buy. Install the new cam and the computer can be reprogrammed for the additional HP of the new cam at no additional cost other than time.
Depending on your power requirements, injector size and the intended use of the car the proper system can be chosen easily. All of the systems have data logging capability. Depending on the money you are willing to spend, these system offer many options like wide band closed loop control, sequential injector control, individual cylinder control of timing and fuel and many other options. Each system has it's own features and software. Choosing the right system for your needs is as simple as a phone call to White Racing & Marine to further discuss your particular combination.
When does the need arise for a Sequential System?
Sequential systems offer better control of the injector at low and high pulse widths do to several facts. "Bank to Bank" or "Batch Fire" systems fire half or all of the injectors at once and in the case of a "batch fire" system, the injectors are fired every engine revolution. Sequential systems fire each injector just like the spark plug, each injector can be controlled as to the time it fires relative to the spark (phasing), the amount of fuel delivered and any cylinder fuel trim desired. The Sequential system fires once every two engine revolutions on a four cycle engine. When HP outputs require that injectors are chosen with "low impedance" coils and large flow rates, these injectors often operate at very low pulse widths at idle. Sometimes the double fire, batch or bank/bank operation modes will not offer the idle quality desired. Sequential systems offer individual cylinder control often used in racing where air flow to different cylinders is not the same and small corrections are desired to make the air fuel ratio to all cylinders exactly the same to get the ultimate performance possible. The sequential will have also have greater control of the injector at high pulse widths and slightly extend the injectors usable working range.
What about Wide Band Closed Loop Control, why should I buy this option?
All of the systems are capable of utilizing a standard or stock type O2 sensor for normal operation. These sensors were designed to operate at 14.7 A/F ratio with +/- one half A/F ratio either side. This allows best economy for normal driving and everyday use. Even though the sensors have a high side output, no one has ever came up with a output voltage chart that is foolproof as to voltage vs. A/F for closed loop operation. Allowing your ECM to run in closed loop targets the A/F at 14.7 and maintains good street economy. When WOT operation is desired, the ECM runs in open loop based on the programming that you have completed for best HP.
With Wide Band O2 control, these special sensors are designed for operation over a wide band of operation usually from 9:1 to 20:1 A/F ratios. Normally most race and street engines will find the best performance in the 12.5:1 to 11.5:1 A/F ratios. Turbocharged vehicles usually on the rich side. Using these wide band sensors in full closed loop control allows the programmer to program the target A/F ratio into the ECM that is desirable for the application. The ECM will then control the injectors to maintain the A/F ratio as close as possible. Nothing can overcome plain bad programming but this feature will assist you to develop a better fuel map to control the engine to it's maximum HP level. The minimum and maximum allowable correction along with the enable RPM values are user programmable. Other features such as gain and PID loop control are user controlled parameters to allow the most efficient and accurate closed loop control possible.
Wide Band Closed Loop control allows you to program a target A/F of perhaps 14.7 A/F for cruising and part throttle operation and then slowly targeted to 12.5 A/F at WOT operation. This give you the best of both worlds for economy and maximum performance.
What about Turbocharged and Supercharged Applications?
Another unique feature of the Programmable Systems is their ability to use 1 BAR, 2 BAR and 3 BAR MAP (Manifold Air Pressure) sensors. A standard 1 BAR sensor will read vacuum to atmospheric pressure and is used for normally aspirated engines. 2 BAR sensors are used to measure up to 15 PSI of boost while 3 BAR sensors will measure up to 30 PSI of boost. The computer is programmed to select which sensor is installed and the fuel and spark map control fuel and spark through the desired boost pressures of operation. As the boost increases, fuel may be added to accommodate the added power and spark can be reduced to eliminate detonation due to high cylinder pressures. No need for an aftermarket timing controller. The programmable system takes care of it all.
Nitrous is another built in feature of these controllers. Various nitrous controls and features allow you to program the amount of spark retard and fuel enrichment based on the amount of nitrous selected. Single and multi-stage ECM's are available with some systems up to 4 stages of nitrous. The other unique feature is that the option is available as wet or dry meaning that the nitrous solenoid can be installed into the intake and all of the additional fuel can be added through the injectors. Parameters such as delays, retards and enables between stages can easily be programmed into the ECM.
A typical installation should take about 15 minutes. The OEM ECM is removed from the car and the aftermarket ECM and Interface PCB is installed in it's place by simply plugging it in. In some cases a MAP sensor will be installed in the engine compartment where a cable will connect to an existing wire under the hood (preferably soldered) and a plug-in connection to the TPS or other wiring to obtain voltage to power the MAP sensor. A vacuum line will be installed to the MAP sensor to feed it manifold pressure. The wiring under the dash will be supplied with a connector to accommodate the aftermarket software programming cable to your laptop.
You mean I don't have to re-wire my car?
No, that is the whole idea behind "Plug-n-Play". We try to build the interface to use all of the existing wiring that came with the vehicle. We also try to install the new aftermarket system in the same location as stock so that it is out of the way and in most cases, under the dash or trim panel. The programming cable connector may be left outside the dash or panel to allow easy of connection to the laptop. Since options like Wide Band O2 and Nitrous Oxide were never factory installed, additional wiring must be installed for options like these but is supplied in the "kit" if desired.
What if I am not a computer whiz?
Why do you want bigger injectors? It doesn't give you more hp. If your leaning out then I'd get bigger injectors. Bigger injectros can also make your car run slower if your running to rich.
No reason to go larger injectors with a K03 since it doesn't move enough air to max out the stock injectors. Injectors are only used for K04(in some cases) and BT's. I was able to make 250 chp on my K03 with the stock injectors and stock fpr.


The Gluten-Tec® ELISA is a competitive enzyme immunoassay for the quantitative detection of gliadin and gliadin fragments in food.
The kit uses a monoclonal mouse antibody that detects a well characterized T cell stimulatory epitope of α20-gliadin in wheat, and homologue sequences present in barley (hordein), rye (secalin) and their crossbred varieties. These epitopes play a dominant role in the triggering of celiac disease. Both intact and small protein fragments, resulting from the hydrolysation of intact proteins, can be detected. A synthetic peptide that contains the α20-gliadin epitope is used for calibration, which allows an accurate and reproducible standardization.

Boeing's fourth Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite launched Wednesday aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
GPS IIF is designed to address navigation and jamming issues as well as prolong the satellite's design lifespan, according to a statement by Boeing's defense, space and security business.
The St. Louis, Mo.-based company is contracted to supply the Air Force 12 GPS IIF satellites and three have already been put into orbit.
Three remaining satellites are scheduled for completion this year while five others are ready to be scheduled for launch as needed.
To date, the company has built 41 of the 63 GPS satellites launched into service since 1978.
