[Jan] is one of those people who’s always playing around with synthesizers, and in this day and age, that means a lot of USB cables supplying power. If you want to make a synth setup portable, your best option is looking at USB powerbanks with their fancy lithium cells. These will work just fine, but remember: you can buy D cells just about anywhere, and they actually hold a ridiculous amount of energy. They’re cheap albeit one-use and disposable, so why not build a USB power bank out of a massive pair of batteries?
While fiber lasers were introduced in the mid-2000s, the market did not gain much traction until 2010 or 2011. This is when the laser cutting industry started to see all major machine manufacturers introduce their products with confidence that this technology was capable of being a viable production tool with many benefits.
“There was a point early in my career, probably in the mid-’90s, when there were more people of color at regional newspapers covering the fashion beat. What’s interesting is that, in general, newspapers have made more of a concerted effort to bring diversity into newsrooms because it is seen as something that is important to ensuring that all communities and stories have a voice. As those regional newspapers began to have all sorts of financial issues, cuts were made, so there were no longer people assigned to the fashion beat and the level of diversity decreased substantially.”—Robin Givhan, fashion critic, Washington Post
Richmond has something for every adventurer—even the four-legged ones. For an easy stroll, head to the 23-acre Point Isabel Regional Shoreline (2701 Isabel St.), which offers a dog park and sweeping views of the Golden Gate and Bay bridges. // Miller Knox Regional Shoreline (900 Dornan Dr.) has 300 acres where dogs (often allowed off leash) particularly love Keller Beach, near the tunnel entrance. // There’s also plenty to discover throughout the 2,315-acre Point Pinole Regional Shoreline (5551 Giant Hwy.), which connects Richmond to Pinole and San Pablo and affords opportunities to spot local wildlife and hear the hooting of resident owls. // One of the city’s parks also serves as one of its top tourist destinations, and Rosie the Riveter Memorial/WWII Home Front National Historic Park (1414 Harbor Way S. #3000) includes a visitor center where thousands of people converge every August dressed like Rosie for the Home Front Festival and Rosie Rally. If you’re visiting at other times of the year, tour the education center with a ranger, stroll the memorial park, and board the SS Red Oak Victory Ship. On most Fridays, you can meet real Home Front workers from WWII.
What are the odds that there is not a single mobile phone involved in the organisation of their opposition?

The cost of making a capital investment in South Africa today is huge. The fear of making a mistake and buying a product that may leave you in the lurch with no backup seems to be a hymn sung by too many people. Many users who have bought from the big suppliers have found to their dismay that size creates an underlying arrogance and the customer comes first credo is lost. Unfortunately there are also fly-by-night machine tool dealers that for the price of an air ticket can become an agent for a good product from China and destroy its good name with bad service. The price of a good technician today, with experience, is high. Keeping up the training is expensive. When the time comes look at the local dealer, see if they have the capacity to keep the equipment up and running, and also look at the hidden cost of maintenance and spare parts. The costs of sustaining the big facades, costly R&D and massive marketing budgets come from somewhere. Open technology is cheap. Proprietary technology costs.
You’d be surprised how well modern cars seal (granted that the seals weren’t damaged)…however – if the open window helps with heat buildup, then you already have natural convection and it should vent just fine…

It wouldn’t be a visit to Livermore without wine tasting, and you’ll find it easy to tailor your sipping experience to your preferences—but you can’t miss the two biggies. For petit sirah, you can’t beat Livermore stalwart Concannon Vineyard (4590 Tesla Rd.), credited with first bottling this grape in the 1960s, although the winery’s influence on cabernet looms just as large—80 percent of all California cabernet sauvignon can be traced back to Concannon clones imported from Bordeaux in 1883. The winery also hosts frequent "somminar" wine education events, if you’re into learning more than just history. // Wente Vineyards (5565 Tesla Rd.) serves as a one-stop shop for an ideal outing in Livermore wine country. The grown-onsite vegetables and wine-raised cows feature heavily into The Restaurant at Wente Vineyards, best experienced as part of the three-course wine and dinner experience at The Vineyard Table. In terms of wine tasting, sip within estate walls; embark on a behind-the-scenes walking and driving tour of the vineyards for an insider’s look at harvest; or learn the art of wine pairing, identifying aromas, or blending your own wines at Wente’s Winemakers Studio. The winery’s summer concert series draws some of music’s biggest names year after year—grab a bottle of Riva Ranch Chardonnay and prepare to rock out.
