MFR Year 2008
Engine Model THIELERT TAE 125-02-99
The DA42 was originally powered by two Thielert Centurion 1.7 diesel engines. Based on production Daimler Mercedes TDI automotive engines, Centurion aerodiesels are modified with propeller reduction drives and redundant hardware specific to aeronautical use. These engines can operate on diesel fuel, but according to TAE Centurion, Thielert's aircraft engine subsidiary, the company has elected to license the engines for jet fuel use only. In the United States, Jet-A or Jet-A1 fuel (or mixture) is used. A significant percentage of DA42s are used in flight training, where the aircraft is about 30% to 40% more fuel efficient than its main competitor, the Piper Seminole, which uses 180 horsepower (130 kW) Lycoming engines to deliver similar cruise speeds and payloads.[citation needed]
Thielert Aircraft Engines ended its production of the 1.7 L. Centurion engines (designated as TAE 125-01 Centurion 1.7) in favour of a new 2.0 L. (TAE 125-02-99) engine.[7] Diamond began installing this new 2.0 L. engine in early 2007. Although engine displacement increased, it was de-rated to produce the same horsepower (135) and torque (302 ft·lbf.) as the 1.7 L. engine.[8]
In late 2007, Diamond aircraft announced it would begin building and installing its own aerodiesels, through a subsidiary, Austro Engine gmbH, and with other partners that included Mercedes Benz Technologies.
The future use of Thielert engines on the DA42 came into question due to Thielert filing for insolvency in April 2008.[9]
In May 2008 Diamond Aircraft indicated that they were acquiring as many engine parts as possible from Thielert to ensure serviceability of the existing DA42 fleet.[10] Negotiations between Diamond and Thielert failed to find a solution and Diamond informed its customers with Thielert engines that "Unfortunately, the insolvency administration has not accepted any part of our proposal." [11]
In May 2008 Diamond Aircraft had more than thirty DA42 Twin Stars on the production line in London, Ontario waiting for engines to be available. Diamond planned to continue DA42 production, but warned customers at the time: "given the current situation, there may be unusual delays in service and response to technical inquiries."[10]
On May 14, 2008 Thielert announced that it would no longer honour engine warranties for the engines installed in Diamond Aircraft. Owners who required warranty work were required to pay cash in advance for parts that they needed. The engine gearboxes must be inspected or replaced every 300 hours and Kuebler, the company handling Thielert's bankruptcy, offered new replacement gearboxes for US$16,000 and used, inspected ones for USD$7,800.[12] These gearboxes had to be paid for in advance and did not come with a warranty.[12] At these prices, gearbox replacement, amortized over the life of the engine, threatened to more than double the cost of engine operation to over USD$100 per hour, plus fuel.[12] Lycoming engines of similar horsepower cost less than USD$12 per hour to overhaul.[12] This announcement caused a predictably negative reaction from Diamond DA42 owners. Diamond Aircraft attempted to honour the warranties in place of the engine manufacturer and commenced negotiations for parts and maintenance certification authority.[13]
Due to the insolvency of Thielert and the decisions of the insolvency administrator, including cancelling warranty support and the prorating of time-between-overhaul for the Thielert engines that power the DA42, Diamond announced in July 2008 that production of the DA42 was suspended. At the time production was suspended the DA42 was reported to have 80 percent of the piston twin market.[1][14]
In November 2008 Diamond Aircraft CEO Peter Maurer said the insolvency commissioner responsible for Thielert's restructuring had accepted that the eventual sale of the company would depend on product support. This lead to Thielert reducing the cost of parts and actively working on extending inspection and replacement requirements for gearbox clutches as well as other parts.[15]
In November 2008 Diamond was still pursuing maintenance certification authority for the Thielert engines, developing its own line of Austro diesel engines and certification of the Lycoming O-360 powered DA42 all as possible solutions to the situation.[15]
In March 2009 Diamond achieved EASA certification for the Austro engine and returned the DA42 to production as the DA42 NG. The new engine produces 20% more power, while giving better fuel economy than the Thielert engines and results in a higher gross weight and increased performance.[1]
The first Austro-powered DA42 was delivered to a customer in Sweden in April 2009, with the first US customer aircraft expected in mid-2010.[

Why did I buy a pink toothbrush? At the time, it didn't occur to me that we wouldn't still be a couple. At least when you're living alone there's no one to make fun of you.
Harsh, yet glossy, reality
The unit can run at 2 speeds (1+7/8 or 7+1/2 inches per second). The motor speed is reduced bu the small belts and pulleys here, to get the 2 speeds, the capstan belt (the large one at the top) is moved between the motor pulley and the output of the reduction drive.

A little linocut based on my watercolour of Greg Durrett for JKPP. It looks less and less like him, but that wasn't really the point any more. It's nice to do a lino portrait anyway, even if it was just a quick test one. (I cut it whilst manning my stall at a Christmas fair)
October 3, 2013. Boston, MA.
City Life/Vida Urbana members and community activists for the third week in a row protested outside of the Boston Housing Court. Protesters assert that taxpayer owned banks, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, have been evicting families ‘no fault’ at alarming rates in Boston and throughout Massachusetts. Four people including longtime housing activist and one-time mayoral candidate Mel King committed civil disobedience in front of the courthouse and were arrested.
The group is pressing for a stop no fault evictions until Mel Watt is confirmed to the FHFA. Ed DeMarco is the current head of FHFA, which oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. DeMarco has resisted community-stability based solutions to the foreclosure crisis, such as principal reduction or long-term rent contracts. Pres. Obama has nominated Congressman Mel Watt to replace DeMarco. These government sponsored enterprises are 79% owned by taxpayers and they are currently among the largest mass evictors within the state, displacing thousands of working-class people and eviscerating communities of color. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac own over half of mortgages in Massachusetts.

CLOSE THE CAMPS - Day 18 - Public Health & Harm Reduction
August 18, 2019 - Day 18 of a Month of Actions at ICE in San Francisco to CLOSE THE CAMPS.
From the organizers of the Day 18 rally:
"WE unite together as doctors, nurses, public health workers/researchers and advocates and as harm reductionists to confront the lethal obscenity of Trump’s concentration camps and policies of medical neglect and abuse toward those seeking refuge in our country.
It is imperative for health care providers to take an official and public stand against the inhuman treatment (in some cases, overseen by licensed medical professionals) at these ever-expanding detention facilities, at the conscious policy of neglect that is tantamount to torture and that has resulted in the wholly-avoidable deaths of at least 7 asylum-seeking children in the last few months. This needs to be called out and delegitimized, much as when professional psychiatrists/psychologists enabled and legitimized the brutal torture techniques at Guantanamo and CIA secret rendition-sites and were eventually confronted. That time is now.
PLEASE unite with us, concerned healthcare providers and public health workers from the UCSF, DPH and harm-reduction services communities in witness and opposition."
The Global Platform for Disaster Reduction was established in 2007 as a biennial forum for information exchange, discussion of latest development and knowledge and partnership building across sectors, with the goal to improve implementation of disaster risk reduction through better communication and coordination amongst stakeholders. The Global Platform is managed by the UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction.

comparison before/after.
process:
- turn OFF high iso noise reduction on the cam, shoot raw
- take several equal pictures with iso 3200 (in my case six)
- (optional) take the RAWs and process them with Noise Ninja or smth similar in a VERY modest way (luminance and color at +3 works fine)
- load all 6 pics as layers of one file in photoshop
- place a SLIGHT smart blur filter (radius 2, thres 3) on each of the six layers
- average them by lowering the opacity of each layer
- make an "all layers" copy and apply a highpass filter with 3 or 4 pixels on it
- change the layer mode of this layer to overlay
DONE!
works as well with lower iso pictures
Dr. Karen Scott, chief medical officer for the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, Department of Health and Human Services, visits the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center to review the first U.S. Department of Defense pathogen reduction technology. This new technology offers a significant improvement in blood safety. Pathogen reduced platelet products recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration reduce the risks from known, emerging and future transfusion-transmitted infections. This protection is especially important in today's increasingly global health care arena, where the blood supply faces threats from expanding epidemics of Chikungunya, Dengue, Zika and other emerging infectious agents. Moreover, pathogen-reduced platelets address another pressing blood safety concern and major cause of transfusion-related morbidity and mortality — bacterial contamination. PRT reduces risk from a wide spectrum of potentially-deadly bacteria in platelets. Similarly, since PRT is a method known to reduce infectious risks from viruses, including CMV, pathogen platelets are considered CMV-safe.
