The pencil does leave a notably dense, rich, black line. I bought a box of the 2B with the blue finish. So regarding the pencils – they come in B and 2B grades, and a choice of green, pink, or blue finishes. So what about the scientific advances said to be in the formula? Shouldn’t this be a product in Mitsubishi’s premier Uni range? Here I am lost – if the product is what it claims to be, why is it priced and packaged as a lower end item? The pencils look like (and are labelled as) a product for children. NanoDia? Nanoscopic diamonds? Well, graphite molecules are no doubt the cousins of diamonds in the carbon family. So the features went into a new product – the NanoDia. An established line can’t just be altered. So if Mitsubishi did find a way to make a graphite core denser and smoother, one can see that they may have had a problem on the matter of what to do with their discovery. And perhaps even making the lead stronger might be seen as too much change to a formula. But any feature that changes the feel of the lead on paper, or the blackness or luminescence of the line, or the known chemistry between the graphite and paper, probably has to be directed elsewhere. So how then, does an improvement get introduced? Well, perhaps it depends on what the feature is – if the strength of a lead core can be improved without changing other pencil characteristics, then that feature could possibly be integrated with the main pencil line. That they remain absolutely reliable and stable as tools for artists is a main selling point over readily available and less expensive alternatives. A key differentiator of the top global pencil lines – the Hi-Uni, the Mono 100, the Castell 9000, or the Mars Lumograph 100 – is that they remain the same high quality product, and perform the same way, year after year, decade after decade. Paint or wood improvements are probably simple enough to introduce, and won’t likely disrupt the user base, but a change to a graphite formula could cause problems. Now considering this matter, I’ve been wondering just how a major pencil manufacturer introduces product improvements. The features of note include strength and density. The line was announced in 2008, and started with mechanical pencils refills woodcase pencils were introduced a couple of years later. The graphite is claimed to benefit from some important and noteworthy quality advances. The Mitsubishi NanoDia pencil is supposed to be something special.

James Evan Davis was driven a pick-up truck that smashed head-on into Horton's car. He died on November 5, 1960, in an automobile accident at the Little River Bridge on Highway 79. He believed he would be killed by a drunk. He often promised those close to him he would contact them from beyond the grave.Like the psychic he claimed to be, Horton came eerily close to predicting the manner of his. Penpal from Chambersburg, Pa"Despite Johnny Horton's wild-at-heart looks and voice, he was a man haunted for years by ominous premonitions of his own death.It brings back memories of the music my parents listened to. Americans were practically fighting guerrilla warfare in comparison. Laura from El Paso, TxMy favorite line in this song "We looked down the river and we seen the British come, and there must have been a hundred of them beating on the drum" makes it amazing to realize this is exactly the way the British fought.Cash refused the call and regretted it the rest of his life. He told Merle Kilgore he would be killed by a drunk and he tried to call Johnny Cash his last night at the Skyline Club. Horton was very religious and had "spiritual" premonitions of his death. Horton died when his car was hit by a drunk driver on a bridge in Milano, Texas after leaving the Skyline Club. Hank died in the backseat of a car on the way from the Skyline club to Canton, Ohio. Horton had married Hank's widow, Billie Jean. This is the same club where Hank Williams played his last show.

It said in a statement: “Against the background of the current security situation in Israel, Lufthansa Group Airlines is reducing its flight program to/from Tel Aviv this Saturday.”įrench Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne told CNN affiliate BFM TV that Air France had suspended all flights to Israel for the time being. International airlines have announced they will cut their air services to Israel dramatically as the situation evolves.Īmong these is German airline Lufthansa. Which international airlines have canceled flights to Israel? The country’s two smaller carriers, Israir and Arkia Airlines, said they would be operating flights to help Israelis abroad return home. On Monday, October 9, some flights were still landing at Ben Gurion, nearly all of which were operated by Israeli airlines, including El Al flights from Rome, Milan, and Athens. The airline also has an emergency hotline for customers affected by the situation. Booking change fees are being waived for travelers who have flights scheduled between now and October 21.Īnyone who wishes to cancel their trip is eligible for a voucher, which they can obtain by filling out the form on El Al’s website. The airline is offering options for travelers who wish to “freeze” their tickets, allowing them to use them on an unspecified future date. All El Al flights will depart from Terminal 3 only.” “El Al Airlines operates in accordance with the instructions of the Israeli security forces. The country’s second-largest airport, Ilan and Asaf Ramon International Airport (ETM) in the southern Red Sea city of Eilat, also says it plans to continue services.Īs for Israeli airlines, El Al, the country’s flag carrier, issued a statement on October 8 saying it would continue to operate as usual. He and other passengers and crew laid face-down on the ground as sirens blared in the distance and missiles were intercepted by the country’s Iron Dome air defense system.ĭespite the fighting, Ben Gurion’s website said the country’s largest and busiest airport was still open and operational as of Monday morning. The situation remains fluid and all information is subject to sudden change, but here’s what travelers need to know following the attacks.Īmong the locations Hamas has claimed it is targeting is Ben Gurion International Airport, Israel’s international hub, located just outside Tel Aviv.ĬNN’s Nic Robertson was on the ground at the airport on Saturday, October 7, when the sound of missiles was heard overhead. On October 11, the US State Department raised its travel advisory for Israel to level three, “reconsider travel,” and Gaza to level four, “do not travel.” Most international airlines have already canceled flights in and out of Israel and governments are revising travel guidance for those heading to the region. Fighting continues to rage between Israeli forces and Hamas militants following the Islamist militant group’s deadly surprise assault on Israel on Saturday, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declaring that the country is now “at war. The formation of phytate-Ca complexes limits the action of the phytase in the gut, making not accessible the P phytic hydrolysis by the phytase and consequently reducing the amount of P released and absorbed through the intestine. And today this is the main problematic of phytase efficacy. This is the case for phosphorus which can encounter the anti-nutritional effect of calcium. But their absorption can be disturbed by the formation of insoluble complexes. Mineral absorption depends on the capacity of minerals to bind to transport protein present in enterocyte membrane (cf. But Kleyn and Chrystal, 2020, recommend caution to be taken in ascribing too high a value for the P contribution of phytase because problems may arise if there is inadequate substrate in the diet.įigure 2: Phosphorus absorption in poultry digestive tract Today, phytase incorporation tend to increase to 1000FTU/kg – 2000 FTU/kg, in order to release more P phytic from the diet (cf. On the other hand, vegetal source requires the action of specific enzyme, phytase, to release the P into the gut. Solubilisation is the natural process for mineral source of phosphorus. By contrast, neutral or alkaline pH of the intestine reduces their solubilisation. This process is pH-dependent, therefore the acidic environment in proventriculus and gizzard improves their solubilisation. Mineral absorption requires solubilisation of mineral original source in the intestinal lumen. The availability of minerals in typical feed ingredients varies and is primarily due to the formation or presence of poorly soluble complexes in both plant material and the GIT of birds. Mineral utilization by animals mainly depends on their absorption from the ingested feed in which minerals are found in a wide range of chemical form. How do minerals interact in the intestine? Phytic phosphorus from plant feed materials The quality of the phytase (used to release the P in the gut, originally under phytic form).To resume, plant-based phosphorus is influenced by 3 main factors: Moreover, phosphorus can also fluctuate from one source to another and from the quality of the land it was cultivated in. For example, corn and rye may bring approximately the same amount of P phytic (2.1 g/kg) but do not have the same total P content (2.9 g/kg vs 3.5 g/kg). As mentioned in Rostagno 2017 study, not all plant materials are equal in term of phosphorus content and percentage of phytic acid (cf. On one hand, plant-based phosphorus availability is highly dependent of the subtract. Phosphorus is brought to the diet by 85% from plant and 15% from inorganic feed phosphate and/or animal source.
The side with the power switch and other ports also has the Alt/Dec clutch lock wheel and the extendable counterweight shaft. The Standard attached dovetail is the Vixen Style however a Losmandy D Style Saddle is also supplied along with a spare Vixen Saddle to attach a second scope. There is a battery compartment to power the unit from 8 AA Batteries if needed. The HBX ports are for the Hand Controller and accessories such as auto focuser or auto guider. The mount itself is quite a simple cube arrangement with power switch, 12v power port, power LED and 2 x HBX ports. Ioptron are considering Air Freighting out a replacement tripod. After talking to other Ioptron Owners and Ioptron Service Agent I confirmed that no one had ever seen a tripod with this problem before. AEC response was good however Ioptron made the excuse that all legs were fitted like this so any tripod could have an offset facing leg. While this does not hinder the operation of the tripod itself, it does mean that it is impossible to fit upgrades to the tripod legs (like spreader arms and tray). In my case one leg was oriented outwards. All three legs should be oriented exactly the same with the lock lever and 2 screws facing inward towards the vertical central position of the mount. Third issue was with one of the tripod legs. This can be overcome by working the screws through completely several times. Second Issue I noted is that the threaded holes for the Tripod Level Adjustment screws have not been threaded properly making it extremely difficult to thread the screws in. I quick photo the next day was sent to AEC & Ioptron and within 2 days I had an express package with replacement rubber feet. As the surface was a flat cement surface this meant that the rubber was very old or had been exposed to some condition to make it brittle. These tips would not have to be extended unless the surface was very uneven or rocky.įirst Issue I noted was that the rubber tips broke up and fell apart on the first evening of use. The bottom of the tripod legs have extendable rubber protected tips to assist reduce vibration and help reduce slippage/movement on uneven surfaces. The outer 3 holes appear to be used for options like the Pier Adapter. The level adjustment screws have one threaded side and one plane rounded off side separated by a plastic knob. 3 of these (inner holes) are used for the Level Adjustment Screws which is Ioptron’s unique way to support and help level the mount (even if the tripod is not level). The top of the tripod has 6 threaded holes. The plastic tripod support bracket is relatively small and has 3 indentations (one for each leg) which helps locate and lock the legs just under the base of the tripod top. There is no tray or spreader arms to assist with stability although there is a heavy plastic tripod support bracket to helps with that which gets screwed down after the mount is screwed onto the top of the tripod. Lock down seems to be rock solid as I tested the movement of the legs against heavy load and they did not budge. The legs on the tripod are extendable and have a simple locking lever which is easy to operate. The Ioptron Pro Tripod is the heavier 2inch version and I would suggest based on current experience with this tripod is that this would be the minimum size that should be purchased to give reasonable stability. So you have everything to connect and get the mount up and running in one tidy case. However the Mount is sent in a custom lined silver case and appears to be well packed, protected and easy to transport.Īlso supplied in the mount case is the Hand Controller, Hand Controller Cable, 240 to 12v Power Pack, USB Cable, a 12v Cable with a Lighter Socket Plug, Tripod Level Adjustment screws, spare Vixen and Losmandy Saddles, and a counterweight. Unlike Takahashi who lines each box with foam the Ioptron is just double cardboard boxes and the only packing foam is in the inner box for the tripod. The mount and tripod come in 2 separate double cardboard boxes. The Ioptron seemed to be the only ideal fit available in a Alt/Az mount to meet all the specifications. I also decided that it would be good for him to learn on an Alt/Az mount then move into a GEM after he had much more practical experience. Ability to Plug into Laptop or Iphone/Ipad Ease of Use with GOTO and Tracking & GPS Handle TSA120 Payload with Extra Capacity Allowance Having Purchased a Takahashi TSA120 for my Son and Family as a Grab and Go Refractor, I decided to purchase a Ioptron Minitower Pro (MTPRO).

This Quebec family didn't give a flying fig.Get the news you need without restrictions.And they have some pretty good pumpkins." "But there's a few of the guys that really kept with it and anyway worked a lot harder than I did. And when you do that, well, you can't expect too much.". "Everything was going so bad that the pumpkins weren't going the greatest and I gave up on them," he admits. He says it was a rough year to be a farmer and he had enough on his hands dealing with his cattle and the effects of all that precipitation. His pumpkins are on the smaller side this year, but he isn't discouraged. People like Macdonald get satisfaction from knowing they can brag about having the biggest pumpkin in town, and seeing their community react to the amazing fruit of their labour.īut, this year was a bad year for giant pumpkins because of all the rain, said Macdonald. Farmers have to create makeshift baskets out of straps to carry them without cracking them. They aren't sweet like sugar pumpkin, are too fibrous to cook and can't hold their own weight. Giant pumpkins are not a practical vegetable. There's always people that come in from elsewhere that you have never seen before and they come in with a pumpkin that they've grown," he said. He's not sure who's the frontrunner this year. This year, Macdonald said he expects to see about a dozen. These days, the borough of Lennoxville runs the festival and competition, which varies in size from year to year with as many as 20 giant pumpkins on display or as few as seven. Soil Temperatures– Ideal germination temperature by vegetable.Giant pumpkins can't hold their weight, so farmers have to use makeshift baskets made of straps to lift them without cracking them. Garden Tip: Bury vines with an inch or two of garden soil, to encourage secondary root growth. Trim vines, removing tertiary vines to promote larger fruit growth. Carefully, and slowly, turn vines as needed. Train vines to go in the direction you want them to go. Adding a layer of mulch or compost, will keep the weeds down, and feed the plant. Weed regularly, especially during the early growth stage. Irregular watering can result in pre-mature ripening of the fruit. Like other garden vegetables, keep the soil moist, not wet. Water regularly, especially during dry periods and the fruit growth stage. A side dressing of fertilizer and regular feedings of fertilizer will significantly help the health of the plant and the size of the harvest. Like other Cucurbits, Turk’s Turban plants are heavy feeders. Other Names: Mexican Hat, French Turban, Turk’s Cap, Turk’s Turban (a common misspelling)ĭon’t Get Confused: Turk’s Turban is also the name of Clerodendrum Indicum, a flowering plant. It is native to Central and North America. While it may look like it comes from outer space, tasty Turk’s Turban actually originated on good old planet Earth. It has been around since at least the 1820s. It is good roasted, baked, steamed, in soups, or on the grill. You can use Turk’s Turban in any of your favorite squash recipes. Fruits grow to about 12 inches in diameter and average about 5 pounds. The top is generally beige with streaks of reddish-orange and dark green. The bottom half is usually a solid color in shades of dark orange to reddish-orange. Turk’s Turban fruit colors vary and are brightly colored. Certainly, its alien appearance makes for a great conversation piece. They look great among pumpkins and gourds. Turk’s Turban is perfect for decorating in fall displays. Therefore, we will leave it to you to decide where this festive vegetable (actually, it is a fruit) should be categorized. So, it’s no wonder pumpkin growers call it a pumpkin, gourd lovers consider it an ornamental gourd, and squash growers commonly refer to it as winter squash. As a member of the Cucurbita family, Turk’s Turban is related to pumpkins, squash, and gourds. Also called “Turk’s Turban Gourd”, the fruit of this winter squash looks like it came from somewhere in outer space. If you’re looking for a confusing plant, Turk’s Turban squash is it. Notable moments 1990s 1994–1999 ġ994: The first Europe Music Awards took place in Berlin, Germany, at the Brandenburg Gate and were held on 24 November 1994, five years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The annual ceremony broadcast live on MTV Europe, Channel 5 and most of the international MTV channels as well as online. The 1st Europe Music Awards ceremony was held in 1994 at Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, Germany, five years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Since the 2007 ceremony, viewers are able to vote for their favourite artists in all general categories by visiting MTV's website. They are representative of geographical origin and of achievement in diverse musical genres and disciplines, indicative of the diversity and scope of the show. The awards are a reflection of the international and continental music scene. The annual presentation ceremony features performances by prominent artists, and the presentation of those awards that have a more popular interest. The Europe Music Awards are held every year in a different country it has been hosted mostly in the United Kingdom. It was originally conceived as an alternative to the MTV Video Music Awards, which are hosted annually in the United States. Now all you need is some snacks, a bottle of wine, and a cozy place to sit down with your computer and stream the 2015 MTV EMAs.The MTV Europe Music Awards (originally named MTV European Music Awards, commonly abbreviated as MTV EMA) are awards presented by Paramount International Networks to honour artists and music in pop culture. MTV usually streams their award shows on their own site, so if the network follows the precedent it set last year, there will be an HD stream here on the official EMA site when it's showtime.īut what if all else fails, and you end up missing the show entirely? Well, if you do have cable, MTV frequently replays award shows in the days afterward, and already has reruns of the 2015 EMAs scheduled for Sunday at 10 p.m., Monday at 8 and 11 p.m., and Thursday at 1 a.m. If that's not quite your speed and you'd rather watch the show the traditional way, that works, too. Something cool going on to the the left? You can choose to look over there instead, just like you would if you were actually there in real life. Depending on where on the screen you decide to swipe, you'll be able to pick your own viewing experience. All you have to do is download the app, and you'll be able to watch the red carpet and the actual show live. You can definitely stream the EMAs, and you actually have a few different options to choose from this year.įirst of all, there's the coolest option: The "virtual reality" live stream via the MTV EMA app. That's why if you can't catch Sunday night's broadcast on TV, you should definitely stream the 2015 MTV EMAs.įrom everything MTV has shared about the EMAs so far, this definitely isn't an award show you're going to want to miss - but what if you have no choice? It's more common now than ever for people to cancel their cable in favor of online streaming, while others just might not be near a TV on Sunday at 8 p.m. And although it usually lives in the shadow of the VMAs, which are always huge, this might be the bigger MTV awards show this year. This year, the show - which the network is touting as their most "cute and badass" awards, obvs - is coming to us straight from Milan, where it will be hosted by Ed Sheeran (who is by far my favorite European individual, musical or otherwise) and Ruby Rose. Where's the red carpet? Where are the gorgeous gowns? Where is Kanye West and his confusing yet brilliant speeches? Fortunately, MTV has a remedy for that: The 2015 European Music Awards. I am someone who lives for award shows, which is why by the time October rolls around, I'm in serious withdrawal.
