1. (i) "Volumetric meter for Liquids" means an instrument composed solely of a measuring device and an indicating device. It generally forms part of a measuring system.
(1)Council Directive No. 71/319/EEC, Articles 2 and 5.
(ii) "Measuring systems for Liquids" means a measuring instrument comprising, as well as the meter itself and the ancillary equipment which may be associated with it, all the devices necessary for ensuring correct measurement and any devices which have been added in order, in particular, to facilitate the operations. Measuring systems are not covered by this schedule.
2. When measuring assemblies for liquids which incorporate volumetric meters for liquids bearing EEC marks and symbols are subject to initial verification, the maximum permissible errors shall be those laid down in Chapter II.
SPECIFICATIONS FOR METERS FOR LIQUIDS OTHER THAN WATER.
1.1. "Minimum delivery" means the smallest volume of liquid which may be measured by a particular pattern.
1.2. "Cyclic volume" means the volume of liquid corresponding to the operating cycle of the measuring device, that is to say to the whole of the movements at the end of which all the internal moving parts of the measuring device return, for the first time, to their original position.
1.3. "Periodic variation" means the maximum difference, during one working cycle, between the volume displaced by the moving components and the corresponding volume shown by the indicator, the latter being connected to the measuring device without play or slip and in such a way that it indicates at the end of the cycle and for this cycle a volume equal to the cyclic volume. This difference may be reduced by a suitable calibration device.
2.1. Meters must incorporate an indicating mechanism showing the measured volume in cubic centimetres or millilitres, in cubic decimetres or litres or in cubic metres.
2.2. In an indicating mechanism having one or more elements, that which is marked with the smallest scale intervals is called the "first element".
2.3. The drive between the indicating mechanism and the measuring device must be reliable, durable and effected by means of a mechanical connection or by a permanent magnet device.
2.4.1. Reading of the indications must be reliable, easy and unambiguous.
2.4.2. If the indicating mechanism incorporates several elements, the indicating mechanism as a whole must be so constructed that the reading of the indication can be performed by simple juxtaposition of the indications of the different elements.
2.5. The maximum capacity of the indicating mechanism must be of the form 1 x 10n, 2 x 10n or 5 x 10n authorised units of volume, n being a whole positive or negative number, or zero.
2.7. When the moving part of an element has a continuous movement, a graduated scale and a datum mark must enable the measured quantity to be determined for every position at which the element might come to rest.
2.8. Scale intervals on the first element must be in the form 1 x 10n, 2 x 10n or 5 x 10n authorised units of volume.
2.9. Except for the element which corresponds to the maximum capacity of the indicating mechanism, the value of one revolution of an element must be of the form 10n authorised units, when the graduated scale on this unit is completely visible.
2.10. When an element consists of a fixed circular scale and a rotating pointer, the direction of rotation of this pointer must be clockwise.
2.11. On an indicating mechanism having several elements, each rotation of the moving part of the elements of which the graduation is entirely visible must correspond to the value of the scale interval of the next element.
2.12. On an indicating mechanism having several elements, the indication of an element with a discontinuous movement, other than the first element, must move forward by one figure while the preceeding element moves through not more than one-tenth of its revolution. This forward movement must cease when the preceding element indicates zero.
2.13. When an indicating mechanism has several elements and when only a part of the scale of the second and subsequent elements is visible in the windows, the movements of the latter elements must be discontinuous. The movement of the first element may be continuous or discontinuous.
2.14. If the indication is given by figures in-line and if the movement of the first element is discontinuous, the marking of one or more fixed zeros to the right of this element is permissible.
2.15. When the first element has only a portion of its scale visible in a window and has a continuous movement, there can be a resulting ambiguity in the reading which should be eliminated so far as is possible. To this end, and in order to allow for reading by interpolation, the relevant window must have, parallel to the movement of the scale, a dimension not less than 1·5 times the distance between the centre lines of two consecutively numbered graduation marks, in such a way that at least two graduation marks of which one will have a figure, are always visible. The window may be assymmetrical relative to the datum mark.
2.16. On scales having graduation marks, the marks must have the same thickness, constant along the length of the mark, which shall not exceed one quarter of the distance between the centre lines of two consecutive marks.
Marks corresponding to 1 x 10n, 2 x 10n or 5 x 10n authorised units shall only be distinguished by difference in their lengths.
2.17. The actual or apparent distance between the axes of two consecutive graduation marks must not be less than 2 millimetres.
2.18. The actual or apparent height of the figures must not be less than 4 millimetres.
3.1. Meters must incorporate a calibrating device which can vary the relationship between the indicated and actual volumes of liquid passing through the meter.
3.2. When this device changes this relationship in a discontinuous manner, the consecutive increments of this relationship must never differ by more than 0·002.
3.3. Regulation by means of a bypass arrangement on the meter is prohibited.
4. twice the periodic variation.
4.2. In the determination of this minimum delivery, account must also be taken, where necessary, of the effect of the additional components on the measuring equipment, in accordance with the requirements stated in the provisions concerning this equipment.
4.3. The minimum delivery must be in the form 1 x 10n, 2 x 10n or 5 x 10n authorised units, n being a whole positive or negative number, or zero.
5.1. The maximum and minimum rates of flow are specified in the certificate of approval in accordance with results obtained during the examination. The meter must be capable of operation for a determined period specified in the certificate of approval, at approximately its maximum rate of flow without showing any noticeable change in its measuring qualities.
5.2. The ratio between the maximum and minimum rates of flow must be at least equal to 10 for meters in general and to 5 for meters for liquefied gases.
6.1. The certificate of approval of a meter must specify the liquid or liquids for which the meter is intended, the temperature limits for the liquid to be measured where these limits are below –10° or above +50°C, as well as the maximum working pressure.
6.2. The examination carried out for the purpose of approving a model of a meter must show that the variations in error due to maximum variations in the properties of the liquids, to the pressure and the temperature of the liquid, within the limits which are to be specified in the certificate of approval, must not exceed, for each of these factors, one half of the values stated in items 1, 2 and 3 of Chapter II.
7.1. When the initial verification of a measuring system is preceded by metrological examination of the meter alone, the maximum permissible errors at the time of this examination are equal to one half of the maximum permissible errors specified in items 1, 2 and 3 of Chapter II but not less than 0·3% of the measured quantity, if the liquid used is the same as that for which the meter is intended.
7.2. However, if the precision of measurement is not sufficient to permit the application of this requirement, the certificate of approval may increase the maximum permissible errors, within the limits of those specified in items 1, 2 and 3 of Chapter II.
7.3. Moreover, the certificate of approval may reduce and/or vary the maximum permissible errors where the verification referred to above will be carried out either with only one of the liquids provided for or with a different liquid.
In the latter case (that is to say when the liquid used in the verification is different from that for which the meter is intended), the certificate of approval may specify the rates of flow during testing at rates other than those which lie between the maximum and minimum rates of flow.
( e ) the cyclic volume.
( i ) the nature of the liquid or liquids to be measured and the limits of viscosity, kinematic or dynamic, where an indication of the nature of the liquid alone is not sufficient to determine their viscosity.
( b ) the minimum delivery.
8.3. Where there is a possibility of ambiguity the direction of movement of the liquid must be indicated by an arrow on the meter casing.
8.4. On meters which measure potable liquids and which can be dismantled, the serial number or the three last figures of this number must be repeated on parts whose replacement can affect the measurement results.
8.5. The indicating mechanism may carry a special description and identifying number.
9.1. Sealing devices must prevent access to parts which can alter the calibration and, the dismantling, even partially, of the meter where such dismantling is not authorised in the certificate of approval (meters which measure potable liquids and which can be dismantled).
9.2. A firm location on an essential part, visible without dismantling, must be provided on the measuring device, on the indicating mechanism or on their housing for the application of the EEC verification mark.
9.3. The certificate of approval may require a location for the application of a stamp on interchangeable components of meters which can be dismantled, alongside the serial number referred to in item 8·4 in this Chapter.
MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE ERRORS ON MEASURING SYSTEMS.
From 0·4 to 1 litres .
From 1 to 2 litres .
2 litres or more .
2. However, the maximum permissible error on the maximum delivery is double the value laid down in item 1 of Chapter II and, whatever might be the measured quantity, the maximum permissible error is never less than that permitted on the minimum delivery.
3. Because of difficulties inherent in the testing facilities, the maximum permissible errors are double those given in items 1 and 2 of Chapter II where these are applicable to measuring equipment for liquid gases or other liquids measured at a temperature below – 10°C or above + 50°C as well as for equipment for which the minimum rate of flow is not greater than 1 litre per hour.
4. If, on initial verification, the errors are all of the same sense, one at least amongst them must not exceed the limits laid down in item 7.1. of Chapter I.
The range of load of a gas meter is bounded by the maximum flow Qmax and the minimum flow Qmin.
"Cyclic volume V of a volumetric meter" means the volume of gas corresponding to a cycle of operation of the meter, that is to say to the whole of the movements of the moving components of the meter at the end of which all these components except the indicator and the intermediate transmissions return, for the first time, to their original position.
(1) Council Directive No. 71/318/EEC, Annex.
It is calculated by multiplying the value of the volume represented by a complete revolution of the test element, by the transmission ratio of the measuring device to the index counter.
The operating pressure of a gas meter is the difference between the pressure of the gas at the inlet of the meter and the atmospheric pressure.
The reference pressure pr of a gas meter is the gas pressure to which the indicated volume of gas is related.
The pressure tapping for measuring the reference pressure is laid down in Chapter III.
The pressure absorption of a gas meter is the difference between the pressures measured at the inlet and outlet of the meter during the flow of a gas.
The constant of an output drive is the value of the volume represented by a complete turn of the shaft of this drive; this value is calculated by multiplying the value of the volume represented by a complete turn of the test element by the transmission ratio of the index counter to this shaft.
B. GENERAL PROVISIONS FOR GAS VOLUME METERS.
1.1. Chapter I lays down the general provisions which must be satisfied by all gas volume meters covered by these regulations.
1.2. Chapters II and III lay down the special provisions relating to the meters concerned.
The meters must be manufactured of solid materials with low internal stresses, which change little with age, and which are sufficiently resistant to corrosion and attack by the various gases which are normally distributed or by any of their condensates.
The cases of meters must be gas-tight at the maximum operating pressure.
The meters must be so constructed that any interference which could affect the accuracy of measurement is impossible without damaging the verification marks or protective seals.
For meters, whose indicating devices function positively only for one direction of flow, this direction must be indicated by an arrow.
This arrow is not required if the direction of gas flow is fixed by the construction.
3.1. Meters may be fitted with additional devices (for correction, recording supplementary indication etc.); their addition is subject to the EEC type approval procedure.
3.2. Meters may be fitted with output drives to operate a detachable indicator, a pre-payment device, or any other complementary or additional device.

3.3. Meters may be fitted with integral pulse generators.
The outlets for these generators should bear an indication of the corresponding value for one pulse in the form "1 pulse > . . . m3" (or dm3).
( h ) for volumetric meters, the nominal value of the cyclic volume expressed as: V= . . . m3 (or dm3).
These inscriptions must be directly visible, easily legible, and indelible under the normal conditions of use of the meter.
4.2. The metrological service which issues the type approval may decide the cases in which the nature of the gas must also be specified on the badge plate.
4.3. The meter may also carry the commercial designation, a special series number, the name of the gas distributor, a mark indicating that it conforms to a European standard, and an indication relating to any repairs made. Unless specially authorised, any other indication or inscription is prohibited.
5.1.1. The counters must be in the form of drums; however, the last element may be excepted from this rule. The drums must be calibrated in cubic metres or decimal multiples or submultiples of the cubic metre. The symbol m3 must be marked on the index plate.
5.1.1.1. The drums indicating the submultiples of the cubic metre if provided must be clearly distinguishable from the other drums, and separated from them by a clearly marked decimal point.

5.1.2. The counter must have sufficient numbered drums to be able to indicate within one unit of the last drum, the volume passed during an operating period of one thousand hours at maximum flow rate.
5.2.1. Meters must be designed in such a way that checking can be done with sufficient accuracy. For this purpose they must incorporate in their design an integral test unit or arrangements permitting the connection of a portable test unit.
( b ) a pointer passing over a fixed dial having a graduated scale or a disc carrying a graduated scale moving past a fixed reference mark.
5.2.3. On the graduated scales of these test elements the unit of the graduations must be indicated clearly and unambiguously in m3 or decimal submultiples, of the m3; the beginning of the scale must be indicated by the figure zero.

5.2.3.2. The value of the scale divisions must be in the form, 1 x 10n, 2 x 10n, or 5 x 10n m3, n being a whole positive or negative number or zero.
5.2.3.3. The graduation lines must be fine and uniform. In cases in which the division is of the form 1 x 10n or 2 x 10n m3, all the lines representing multiples of 5, and in the case of a division of the form 5 x 10n m3, all the lines representing multiples of 2, must be distinguished by a greater length.
"The needle or the fixed mark must be sufficiently thin to permit a certain and easy reading.
The controller element must be able to be supplied with a mark detachable clearly and of a sufficient shape to allow the photoelectric scan. The mark must not recover the graduation; it can take, if such be the case, the place of the figure 0. This mark must not harm the precision of reading".
The diameters of drums must be at least 16 millimetres.
The diameter of the graduated scales mentioned in Chapter I B 5.2.2. (b) must be at least 32 millimetres.
The counter must be so designed that it can be read by simple juxtaposition of the figures.
The advance by one figure at any part of the index must be completed whilst the figure of the immediately next lower range describes the last tenth of its course.
Meters must be so designed that the counter may be removed easily during examination.
6.1. The measuring errors are expressed as a relative value by the ratio, as a percentage, of the difference between the volume indicated and the volume actually passed by the meter, to the latter volume.
6.2. These errors relate to the measurement of volumes of air having a reference density of 1:2 kg/m3. Under normal atmospheric conditions the ambient air in a test laboratory may be considered to satisfy this condition.
6.3. The maximum permissible errors are specified in Chapters II and III; they are valid for the authorised direction of flow.
The maximum permissible values of pressure absorption are specified in Chapters II and III.
The application of EEC verification marks and seals on a gas meter certifies solely that the meter meets the requirements of this schedule.
The locations of the marks must be chosen in such a way that dismantling of the part sealed will involve destruction of the marks.
8.2.2. When the inscriptions mentioned in item 4.1 of Chapter I B are on a special badge plate, one of the marks should be fixed in such a manner that it is damaged if the special plate is removed.
( b ) on all parts of the casing which cannot otherwise be protected against interference liable to affect the accuracy of measurement.

PROVISIONS RELATING TO GAS VOLUME METERS WITH DEFORMABLE WALLS.
This Chapter applies, together with the provisions of Chapter 1, to gas meters in which the measurement of gas passed through is effected by means of measuring chambers with deformable walls.
2.2. If for a type of meter the value of Qmin is lower than the number given in the table of item 2.1 of this Chapter, the numerical value of this Qmin must be expressed by a number in column 3 of this table or by a decimal submultiple of this number.
2.3. Meters having a cyclic volume less than the value given in the table of item 2.1 of this Chapter may be approved provided that the model satisfies the requirements of the special endurance test prescribed.
3.1. For each of the meters the difference between the calculated value of the cyclic volume V and the value of this volume specified on the meter must not exceed 5% of the latter.
3.2. Meters G1·6 to G6 inclusive may be provided with a device to prevent operation of the counter when the gas flows in a non-authorised direction.
"The volumes of air to be measured can be replaced by the volumes most closely corresponding to a whole number of turns of the controller element".
5.1.2. In EEC initial verification the errors for a meter for flows Q between 2Qmin and Qmax must not all exceed 1% if they are all of the same sign.
The above values relate to the maximum of the mechanical pressure absorption.
For meters for which the operating pressure exceeds 0:1 MN/m (1 bar) the provisions of item 6.2. of this Chapter regarding the mechanical pressure absorption apply, but the total pressure absorption mentioned in item 6.1. of this Chapter of these meters is not taken into consideration.
( d ) at a flow rate 0.5Qmax for meters for which the operating pressure is greater than 0·1MN/m (1 bar).
If the examination is conducted under different conditions, the guarantees must be at least equal to those obtained by the tests mentioned above.

and decimal multiples of the last five lines.
3.1.1. Meters should include upstream and downstream static pressure tappings of 3 to 5 millimetre diameter to permit measurement of the pressure drop:the pressure measured upstream will constitute the reference pressure.
3.1.2. The meters may incorporate a manual arrangement for turning the pistons provided that it cannot be used in such a way as to interfere with the correct operation of the meter.
3.1.3. The bearings of the shafts of the rotary pistons of meters of sizes G160 and above may be constructed in such a way as to provide access to them without breaking the protective seals.
3.2.1. The meters must incorporate a pressure tapping permitting, if necessary indirectly, the determination of the pressure immediately upstream of the turbine wheel as a reference pressure.
3.2.1.1. If there is a device for throttling the gas flow upstream of the rotor, the meter may incorporate, as well as the pressure tapping required by item 3.2.1. of this Chapter, another pressure tapping immediately before the throttle to permit determination of the pressure drop across the throttling device.
3.3.1. These pressure tappings must be provided with means for closing them.

Nothing satisfies at a perfect-weather picnic or summer celebration like a heaping platter of fried chicken, crispy on the outside, moist and meaty on the inside.
The joys of fried chicken were discovered independently in many countries around the world. So don't settle for the same old takeout anymore. Spice up your next get-together with a big bucket of bird bursting with the flavor of one these five nation variations.
Fried-chicken time in Korea means munching down on these batter-fried tidbits tossed in a spicy-sweet sauce. A double dip in hot oil gives yangnyeom dak extra crunch Gangnam-style.
Indonesians like their chicken well-seasoned. So they start out by simmering it in a mix of herbs, spices and coconut water until it's cooked through, tender and full of flavor. Only then do they drop it in the fryer for a final finish.
Classic picnic food, Southern fried chicken isn't just for Dixie anymore. All parts of the U.S. enjoy this finger-licking fantasy of flavor. A buttermilk bath makes it extra tender and juicy.
In a flash of brilliance, the Brazilians got rid of the bones and mixed the chicken with cheese. This filling is encased in a tasty dough and formed into the shape of a drumstick, then fried until crispy, crunchy golden-brown. Que rico!
This elegant chicken dish comes straight from old-empire Vienna, and these days it's a favorite at Munich's Oktoberfest too. Breadcrumbs are the coating for Backhendl. Squeeze a wedge of lemon over a piece, dig in and wash it back with a beer!
And don't forget plenty of moist towelettes!

The Flex 419 and 429 courses give students a chance to undertake independent video and media projects.
Kelly & David used Flex to script, storyboard, film and edit an instructional video for the Gastrointestinal Exam.
David & Kelly identified key gaps in their own knowledge. They decided that the GI exam videos were outdated & unclear. The students approached key subject matter experts and developed a new filming script and storyboards which met the course’s learning objectives.
David & Kelly approached a patient & physician to perform on camera.
The students co-directed the Video. Kelly edited, animated and titled the footage, while David served as a powerful narrator.
In the end, the undergraduate program at UBC Faculty of Medicine benefitted from a great new learning resource.

On average, the nuclear medicine technologist salary in Alabama is about $73,000 a year, which demonstrates that there is strong financial incentive and potential for professionals in this field. The largest factor impacting your determined salary will be experience. As a nuclear medicine technologist that is new to the field, it goes without saying that you will have minimal in-the-field experience. However, as you build your education, develop your skills, and secure your first employment position, you will be well on your way to earning top dollar.
Additionally, there is huge growth expected in the nuclear medicine technology field. The Bureau of Labor Statistics, in fact, projects a potential 16% increase in jobs for nuclear medicine technologists between 2008 and 2018, which is largely due to an aging population. As the age of the population increases, the need for medical intervention and diagnostics increases also, effectively ensuring that nuclear medicine technologists in Alabama will continue to be in high demand.
In order to increase your earning potential, you should get involved in professional organizations like the Alabama Society of Nuclear Medicine. The objective of this organization is to bring technologists together through common goals and to establish and maintain the highest of standards in the industry.

This dissertation focuses on contemporary literature produced by Arab American women authors. My study utilizes the works of Diana Abu-Jaber, Mohja Kahf, Suheir Hammad, Naomi Shihab Nye, and Laila Halaby, to raise questions about the processes, methods, and practices of writing, publishing, and reading Arab American women’s literature. Influenced by developments in contemporary Arab American studies, postcolonial, and reception theories, this dissertation examines, from an interdisciplinary perspective, novels, poetry, prose, and online articles that these authors produced in the aftermath of the First Gulf War until today (1993-2007). A study of this literature, I argue, facilitates a more comprehensive understanding of the history of Arab American literature, its recent trends, and possible futures.
Chapter Two focuses on the work of Diana Abu-Jaber, one of the most important Arab American women authors today. Tracing literary developments, shifts, and alterations in the author’s work, I argue that Abu-Jaber uses her writing to humanize Arab Americans for her predominantly western audiences. Focusing on what I see as shifts in the author’s political commitments and ideals, I analyze her large body of works in order to understand how they are influenced by the western publication industry, marketing strategies, reader demand, and literary fame.
Chapter Three deals explicitly with the works of Mohja Kahf as I examine the author’s attempt to reconfigure Islam’s negative status in the United States by defying the politics of literary representation and challenging the restrictive cultural, racial, and religious boundaries of the Muslim ummah or community. I argue that the author’s work challenges both the mythologies of representations surrounding the figure of the Muslim woman in the West and the gendered and sometimes exclusionary parameters of the Muslim ummah in the United States.
In Chapter Four, I shift my focus to the writings of Naomi Shihab Nye, Suheir Hammad, and Laila Halaby. I examine how these authors negotiate the national trauma of September 11, 2001 and state of emergency ensuing in the wake of the attacks. I assess how these authors render legible Arab American and Muslim American encounters of 9/11 and its aftermath.

PF Impact Crusher uses impact energy to crush the materials. The rotor rotates at a high speed under the driving force of motor. The materials entering from the inlet impacts the plate hammer on the rotor and would be crushed under the high-speed impact of the plate hammer. The crushed materials would be thrown back to the liner plate for crushing again. Finally, the materials are discharged from the outlet of PF Impact Crusher.
PF Impact Crusher is equipped with self-weight safety device on the rear upper rack. After unbreakable materials (e.g. iron block) enter the crushing cavity, they can be discharged automatically, avoiding risks of overload and losses caused by downtime.
For different market requirements at different stages, SBM set a mechanical adjustment device at the top of PF Impact Crusher, and users can adjust the spacing between the impact rack and rotor through twisting the bolt of this device, so as to realize the adjustment of size of the discharged material.
PF Impact Crusher is equipped with two identical sets of ratchet wheel flapping devices on both sides of the rack, which is composed of high-strength left and right spiral trapezoidal screw and ratchet wheel reversing mechanism. When the impact crusher needs to be stopped for parts replacement and other maintenance and checks, users can easily and stably open and close the rear upper cover of the impact crusher through this device.
PF Impact Crusher breaks materials with impact force. When working, driven by a motor, the rotor rotates at a high speed. When materials enter the working area of hammer, they are crushed under the high-speed shock. Then broken materials are thrown onto the lining plate for another crushing. Finally, qualified materials are discharged from the opening. Adjusting the gap between the impact rack and rotor rack can change the granularity and shape of finished products.

Fruitcake. The Ruby in the Smoke.
To say I read a lot when I was at school would be an understatement. Though I had some lovely friends, I didn't properly find my crowd until my senior years, relying on a good relationship with my sister, a love of films and our ever growing collection of novels to occupy my time outside of school. My parents were mystified by the number of times we could reread an old favourite, but Luce and I could proudly recite large sections of Harry Potter by heart. When the MS Read-a-thon came around every year, we were instructed to ask for donations, rather than per-book pledges for a month of reading, so as not to give our friends and neighbours a nasty surprise when we came to collect.
Over the past months, as I have begun to write my book, I have spent time in the local library, scanning shelves in bookshops, and tilting my head to read titles in my friends' living rooms. I am on constant lookout for hundreds of familiar titles, the ones that take me back to that time. There are the Harry Potters and the Secret Gardens, books that are so familiar that opening them feels like reaching for the hand of an old friend. But the list is endless, and I continue to find book after book that exists in the deep recesses of my memory; those ones I borrowed from the Ashgrove Library, and read only once. These books have the power to surprise me again now.
I read the Sally Lockhart mysteries (of which The Ruby in the Smoke is the first), like so many others I am sure, in a post Dark Materials haze. In the years that followed, I returned many times to Lyra's Oxford, but Sally's London didn't get much of a second look-in. After being reminded of it earlier this year, I am happy to report that it is well worth rediscovering in adulthood. All it took was one reread in a (very) long bath, and I'm right back in - I have ordered the rest in the series. There are so many details I had forgotten, and my fascination with Victorian London, especially the East End, is reason enough to open it up again after 15 years.
This lunch, the first that Rosa, Sally, Frederick and Trembler sit down to together, is one I'd like to share. I love fruitcake, but my consumption of it is normally confined to December and January, as we gradually chip away at an enormous Christmas cake, generously covered with marzipan and icing. This fruitcake is significantly lighter - less loaded with fruit, and free from booze. A cheaper cake to make, and one that suits the changeable days of April just as much as the dark days of winter. It's a joy of a cake, adapted from a Mrs Beeton recipe for Christmas cake; it's her Christening cake that more resembles our modern Christmas cakes. It wouldn't be out of place on Frederick and Rosa's table but, loaded with dates and cherries and ginger, more than satisfies modern tastes too. Serve in big slices, with a sliced apple and a pot of tea (or jug of ale).
1. Preheat the oven to 150C and grease and line the cake tin. Put the flour, dried fruit, ginger, salt and bi-carbonate of soda in the mixing bowl and stir to combine.
2. Melt the butter in the saucepan, and set aside to cool. Add the cream, treacle, and sugar to it, and whisk well. Add the wet ingredients to the dry flour mix and mix through.
3. Whisk the eggs until light and frothy and then fold through the batter. Spoon the batter into the cake tin and place in the oven. Bake for 1 hour 45 mins, checking the top after an hour. If it is browning too quickly (mine was), open the oven door and, being sure not to move the cake too much, cover it with a sheet of foil. Test the cake regularly from around an hour and a half. When a skewer inserted into the cake comes out without raw batter clinging to it, remove the cake from the oven.
4. Cool on a wire rack in the tin for ten minutes, and then remove from the tin and cool completely. The cake is better the next day, so do wrap it in greaseproof paper and store it in a tin. It will keep a good few days like this. It's great on its own, or with a bit of butter.

When MaiDump was released back in late 2016, it was touted as an easy and somewhat robust tool to dump PSVita games and install those dumps. Going forward, TheFlow released a much cleaner DRM removing tool called NoNpDrm which worked much better but MaiDump was still being used by FW 3.60 hold-outs who wanted to run FW 3.65 games. Now, MaiDump will finally be succeeded and acquire a killer feature along the way!
With the advent of TheFlow’s 3.65 Updater, games requiring FW 3.65 were able to be dumped but as NoNpDrm doesn’t decrypt the EBOOT, it was impossible to run them on FW 3.60. Fortunately, MaiDump was updated for FW 3.65 and it decrypts the EBOOT. This made it possible to run games which required FW 3.61-3.65 on FW 3.60 with some hex editing. Until the advent of the hack for FW 3.67/3.68, this method was considered to be good enough BUT then, with TheFlow’s h-encore hack for these firmwares, it was noted that MaiDump was broken on FW 3.67/8. This left people running hacked FW 3.60/3.65 unable to run games that required FW 3.67-3.68 and this is where the new PSVita game dumper steps in.
This dumper will be using NoNpDrm dumps as a base and a compatibility pack to make games work on lower firmwares (FW 3.60/3.65).
The compatibility pack, which will be generated by this game dumper, will include decrypted modules and a decrypted EBOOT.
The compatibility pack will be applied by dots-tb’s RePatch, a plugin by dots-tb that allows you to mod encrypted games.
It will require NoNpDrm to function as it uses its dumps. However, NoNpDrm won’t be needed if you’re running your own games and only need to run the compatibility pack. Thanks CelesteBlue for the extra info here.
Unlike MaiDump, this dumper will be decrypting the EBOOT and modules via the kernel not through the RAM. This approach dumps NPDRM in a proper thus reducing the possibility of bugs and increasing the number of apps/games that can be dumped. Furthermore, the dumps will have a better chance of working with the Vita3K emulator. Thanks CelesteBlue for the extra information here.
It will allow retail and NoNpDrm DLCs as it uses RePatch.
EBOOT modding will be supported.
Once the compatibility pack, which is said to be 5-50MB in size, is created, it will work on any hacked firmware. This means that one compatibility pack will work on FW 3.60, 3.65, 3.67, 3.68 and any hacked firmware.
For compatibility packs to be generated, your PSVita/PSTV systems must be running the firmware version that the game you want to dump requires.
Obviously, this new dumper will be used for piracy but it can be used in a legitimate fashion if you dump your own games and generate your own compatibility packs. It must be noted that no ETA has been given yet and there are issues with Unity games at this point. That being said, the development of this dumper seems to be in pretty advanced stages as a teaser video showing it in action has been released.
To get more information, simply follow TheRadziu, dots-tb and CelesteBlue on Twitter. You can watch the video teasing this plugin below but please read the description as it gives some valuable information about what’s going on.
Thanks for this outstanding info !
Dancing star night was the only reason I was about to update my 3.60.
I want super robot wars X and its DLCs.
Precisely now I was searching for MaiDump compatibility qith OFW 3.68 and checking Wololo at thhe same time.This write-up couldn’t had come at a better time.
Now I just have to wait. Thanks to everyone involved!
so my 3.65 h-encore is can’t play 3.67/3.68 games right now??. i had download 3.67 game but haven’t try it yet.
Not all 3.67/3.68 required games cannot be used on MaiDump but I hope this developer can create a hack that is useful in the near future.
the h-encore on boot only takes like 10 second to run..
Told you all this was coming and no need to give up coldboot enso.
They really hate maidump? I think hackers should help each other not rising there pride to show whos better.
They don’t hate maidump at all. They simply were looking for a better solution than was currently available.
Muchísimas gracias a todos los que están detrás de la scene hacen un trabajo perfecto , eternamente agradecidos , una pregunta creen que la vita pueda llegar a correr juegos de ps2 si alguien se pusiera a trabajar en ello , sería realmente posible?
Lo siento amigo, pero lo más probable es que no suceda.
How about game updates that require 3.67-3.68?
I still prefer NoNpdrm considering you can get the game updates yourself from PSN. Maidump is a reliant factor to physical dumps in updating your games.
do people not use 3.61 anymore. I modded my psvita a while back just to run psp iso but just returned to the sites recently and no longer see anything about 3.61. Only 3.60, 3.65 etc.. Should I update?

The Vancouver Canucks announced today via their official website and social media outlets that General Manager Mike Gillis has agreed terms to a contract extension. Gillis joined the club in April 2008 and has led the Canucks to success ever since, most recently with two consecutive presidents’ trophy wins, with the grand prize of a Stanley Cup just one game away last season.
Gillis told the press he was very pleased to be signing the new deal and that he was proud of the work the organisation had done in the past four years. The most uplifting part of the press conference for Canucks fans being the comment, “We are driven every day to try and win the Stanley Cup and will continue to focus on being a strong organization both on and off of the ice.”, a notion that may prove attractive to potential free agents looking for a change of scenery in the summer.
Mike Gillis was a good hockey player in his own right, playing over 250 NHL Games for the Colorado Rockies and ironically the Boston Bruins during the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. After retiring from hockey as a player, Gillis became a successful player agent, representing the likes of Pavel Bure, Markus Naslund and Bobby Holik. His experience as a player agent proved an important factor when securing free agents and signing Canucks players such as Ryan Kesler and Kevin Bieksa to less-than-market-value ‘hometown discount’ contracts.
A major part of his time as General Manager was the re-signing of the Sedin twins. Gillis flew to Sweden on June 30, 2009, just one day before the start of free agency and managed to convince both brothers to sign new $6.1 million contracts until the end of 2013/14, a steal for two players of their quality. What made this more sweet for the organisation was that the whole deal happened under the nose of Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke, who was already in Sweden and ready to move the twins to Toronto.
While the announcement is great news for the Canucks organization and its fans, the talking point for the next few weeks will still be the future of head coach Alain Vigneault. No information was provided by the Canucks on the future of the coach but speculation has suddenly turned from a very possible departure to the probability of another season at the helm for the Jack Adams trophy winning coach, with the Gillis and Vigneault tandem now expected to lead Vancouver to at least one more charge at the Cup in 2012/13.

Vice President Mike Pence's planned walkout at the Colts game over an expression of free speech is chilling.
Hell, the media members that follow Pence were told before the game not to bother leaving their vans and enter Lucas Oil Stadium, according to a tweet from NBC News Vaughn Hillyard. They wouldn’t be there long, because Pence wouldn’t be there long. Trump, as Trump is wont to do, took credit in a tweet for Pence's walkout by saying he'd asked Pence to leave if anyone knelt.
Listen, part of me – a small part, and not that part that won this internal argument – admired Pence for the irony of his blatant look-at-me maneuver. NFL players are doing the same thing when they kneel for the anthem, right? It’s about making a statement. It’s about pushing an agenda. Let’s not be hypocritical here and ignore that.
And I say that as someone who supports their right to kneel, and more than that, understands why they do it. Great as our country is, best in the world, we’re still failing to provide equality for minorities. It’s heartbreaking, so many of the headlines we get these days, like the ones last month from Charlottesville, Va. Go back a few years and there are other cities: Ferguson, Mo. Sanford, Fla. Baton Rouge. Minneapolis.
The bigger part of me is stunned that the President – and now Vice President – of the United States would take such a public position against one of the greatest rights the U.S. Constitution grants us: freedom of speech. It’s one thing for you to rip NFL players for kneeling during the anthem. They have the right to kneel, and you have the right to hate it. You have the right to boo. You have the right to rise from your seat and leave the game. So many of my family members fought overseas, some of them not coming back completely whole, for you to have that right. So, boo. So, leave. You don’t have my agreement, but you have my support.
But when the top two elected leaders of our democracy decide that political speech – in this case, a silent and non-violent form of political speech – is unacceptable to the point of walking out of the game where it happens, well, that’s chilling. That’s the kind of oppressive nonsense our ancestors were leaving when they crossed the Atlantic Ocean hundreds of years ago.
As an aside, how much taxpayer money did Pence waste to make this grandiose statement of political oppression, anyway? He traveled here with his usual contingent of aides and bodyguards, and he didn’t fly standby on Delta. Chew on that for just a minute.
As another aside, what was Pence thinking, doing this on a day the Colts franchise thought he was in town to honor Peyton Manning and celebrate his induction into the Ring of Honor? As VP of the country, and as Indiana’s former governor, Pence has a standing invitation to come to a Colts game and watch it from a suite. A few weeks ago he accepted that offer. He claimed a suite just off mid-field.
Public Safety is our number one priority. Due to Public Safety enhancements, the Indianapolis Colts, IMPD and Lucas Oil Stadium encourage fans to arrive early to Sunday’s 49ers vs Colts game. Kickoff is at 1 p.m., gates open at 11 a.m.
The Colts had no idea – none – that he would be leaving before kickoff. They were just the wall Pence was using to paint his political graffiti.

Familiarity with material from chemistry NYB and NYA is assumed.
Is that blood on your hands? Did the urbane Claus von Bulow attempt to murder his rich socialite wife by surreptitiously injecting insulin into her medication? Remember the famous ‘Acid Experiments’ of the 1960’s conducted in our back yard at McGill University and secretly funded by the CIA? What role does a chemist play in the mysterious death of a woman – a death later uncovered as murder due to arsenic poisoning?
From sensational high-tech cases like the O.J. Simpson trial to less well-known crimes, intriguing details are revealed in the course appropriately subtitled Arsenic Milkshake. This course gives students the opportunity to take a behind-the-scenes look at the techniques used by today’s new scientific sleuths. You will have a chance to play forensic detective, learn how to analyze gunshot residues, detect fingerprints, check Breathalyzer test results, identify different blood types and analyse drug poisonings.
This course is about energy, the methods we use to create and convert it, and the adverse environmental affects these practices have on our planet. From the tar sands in Alberta to the coal pits in Wyoming, we will study how we find, process and distribute our limited fossil fuels. We will learn about CO2 emissions, and how climate change has spurred the emerging green economy of wind farms, tidal generators and solar arrays. How do these things work, and how “green” are they?
This is a unique course, team-taught by two teachers from two different departments, allowing a different perspective for today’s most important questions.
Equivalent to Secondary IV Environmental Option courses (558-404 or 558-402), this course is intended for students who wish to pursue science or technology programs, but lack the necessary Physical Science prerequisite.

The number of U.S. workers applying for unemployment benefits soared by 38,000 last week, posting the highest reading since September 2005 and reinforcing fears that the U.S. economy has stalled, government data on Thursday showed.
Meanwhile, a separate report showed the US service sector, which makes up 80 percent of U.S. economic activity, contracted less than expected in March, but overall activity for the month still shrank.
A Labor Department official said there were no special factors to explain the increase in initial claims to 407,000 in the week ended March 29, but he said seasonal adjustments to the data owing to the early timing of the Easter public holiday this year may have influenced the reading.
"Part of what is going on is seasonal adjustments and part of it is higher claims," said the Labor official.
U.S. government Treasury notes extended gains on the news, with investors betting this will encourage the U.S. Federal Reserve to cut interest rates further, while the dollar edged back from earlier highs and stock futures dropped.
"The trend is for rising unemployment. There's no doubt about it," said Joe Saluzzi, co-manager of trading at Themis Trading in Chatham, New Jersey. "I've been bearish for a long time and I don't think we have found a bottom."
Economists polled by Reuters had expected initial jobless claims to increase to 370,000 in the week ending March 29, compared with 369,000 the prior week, initially estimated at 366,000 claims.
The four-week moving average of new claims, a more reliable guide to underlying labor market trends because it smooths out weekly data swings, also increased sharply. It rose to 374,500, which was the highest reading since October 2005.
Analysts fear a housing slump and credit crunch may have tipped the U.S. economy into recession and are scrutinizing the labor market for evidence of slackening jobs that could chill consumer spending.
In further evidence of soft labor conditions. The number of workers remaining on jobless benefits climbed 97,000 to 2.94 million in the week ending March 22, the most recent week these figures were available. This compared with forecasts for 2.87 million so-called continued claims.
It was the highest reading for continued claims since July 2004.
why am I so sure that this will top all of the evening news broadcasts?
