DRAWSKO POMORSKIE TRAINING AREA, Poland--An Ukrainian amphibious infantry company stands in formation during the opening ceremony for the live exercise portion of Exercise Steadfast Jazz here Nov. 3.
The 'live' portion transitions from individual nations preparing for the exercise to multinational troops training together.
The U.S. Army is supporting Steadfast Jazz 13 with participation from the 173d IBCT(A), one of U.S. Army Europe’s forward-based combat brigades and the 1st Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, the U.S.-based ground force contribution to NATO Response Force 2014. Collectively, these forces represent the reinvigoration of U.S. participation in the NRF and the enduring U.S. commitment to NATO, Europe, and regional stability and prosperity.

Initial experiment was to see how the magnetic field in the base affected the Gyro ... thought that the field actually changes around the base ... it doesn't really, only to auto-correct the center platform if it moves out of position. The idea of suspending the gyro above the magnetic platform therefore would not work since it will be attracted to the base platform and the base field does not rotate.
Summary, the base seems to only work with a north pole oriented upside down. The base keeps it in the stable levitation field. When moving the gyro around the base, the north pole points towards the base when within ~1 inch field distance. Outside of that distance, north points up like normal.
Fascinations Levitron Revolution (Floating Nanodots GYRO)
How this is done ... seems to a ring magnet surrounded by 4 super strong electromagnets in the base that when aligned with the fixed magnet in the floating platform continually adjusts till it locks onto it in the polar magnetic sweet spot and the perfect balance of the polar repelling keeps it floating. Amazing and different from the Levitron Top version, which requires it spinning at a constant velocity to keep it stable floating.

I rarely chimp. But I figured this one was special, so I took a look. A laugh burst from my lips. The day was made all worthwhile.
In an effort to align with the USAID Digital Strategy and recognize USAID Missions, Bureaus and partners that are empowering countries in a digital age, USAID launched the 2022 Digital Development Awards (the Digis), the fourth round of these awards. The Digis recognize and celebrate USAID-funded projects and activities that use digital technology to sustain open, secure, and inclusive digital ecosystems in order to improve measurable development and humanitarian-assistance outcomes. After receiving nearly 200 applications from USAID Missions around the world, five winners were selected for the 2022 Digital Development Awards, including USAID/Nepal: Building Hope Along the Karnali River Basin (BHAKARI), implemented by MercyCorps Nepal.
The remote Karnali River Basin is home to some of the most vulnerable and socially excluded communities in Nepal, and, when a crisis hits, reaching families with life-saving humanitarian assistance can be extremely difficult. Organizations often provide cash and vouchers as assistance so that participants can satisfy their own specific needs. However, it can be complex and costly to meet with rural participants in person to enroll them in these types of programs.
The USAID/Nepal Building Hope Along the Karnali River Basin (BHAKARI) program, implemented by Mercy Corps Nepal, deploys a suite of digital solutions to address these and other challenges throughout the phases of an emergency. BHAKARI partnered with Viamo, a global social enterprise, to transmit free, trustworthy, and accurate messages to complement the cash and voucher assistance to over 3 million people in Nepal. BHAKARI has used Viamo’s Platform (hotlines, IVR calls and mobile trainings) to provide training on cash and voucher assistance and spread educational, informational, and interactive messages about nutrition, hygiene and health, disasters, gender equality and social inclusion, and how to maximize effectiveness of cash assistance to ensure food security and nutrition.
BHAKARI also uses cloud-based software Laligurans, developed by Aria Technologies Nepal, for cash and voucher project management. The software helps BHAKARI register cash and voucher assistance participants, distribute cash and vouchers, and connect local vendors to wholesalers.
Pushpa, a single mother in a small village in Nepal’s remote Karnali River Basin, is part of a Community Disaster Management Committee (CDMC), along with many other women in her community. As part of this committee, the women work together to help their community prepare for and respond to natural disasters. Additionally, as part of BHAKARI’s emergency response program, she and other vulnerable households from her community receive support in the form of cash and vouchers which can be redeemed for food and supplies.
She shares, “The program staff use their phones to make a list of what we need…rice, eggs, soap. They provide us vouchers after which we come to the shop and receive the items from our list, which is packed and ready for us when we arrive. The items are provided to us after the shop owners scan our voucher in their phones.” These vouchers help Pushpa, and others in her community, provide for their families during the dry season when food is more scarce.
The BHAKARI program has intentionally designed each intervention to make cash and voucher assistance more accessible to the most marginalized and underserved groups—including poor laborers and their families, women, and people with disabilities. Interactive voice response “push messaging,” which disseminated key program messages by calling participants’ mobile phones, allowed BHAKARI to reach even those with low digital literacy.
BHAKARI has been incredibly collaborative, partnering with a national technology service provider, 101 local vendors, two transfer service providers, 22 regional and local agriculture input suppliers, and multiple departments of the Nepal Government and district governments. Additionally, private sector actors and local vendors can be mobilized quickly to respond to communities in remote geographical regions in the case of shocks or disasters.

The Patriot was the national newspaper of the Patriot Party, a white left-wing revolutionary organization aligned with the Black Panther Party, that was distributed in the greater Washington, D.C. area in 1970.
The Patriot Party was initially formed as the Young Patriots Organization in Chicago and later expanded nationwide as the Patriot Party. It was one of the component organizations of Black Panther Fred Hampton’s original Rainbow Coalition in Chicago.
They rejected white supremacy but wore a confederate flag patch on their shirts.
They organized in the Washington, D.C. area 1970-71 out of the Panther office on 18th Street NW and their Community Center on 17th Street NW focusing are far southeast Washington where working class whites still lived and the inner suburbs of Prince George’s County.
Among the members in Washington, D.C. were Danny Embry, a former U.S. Marine who survived Vietnam without a scratch but was left with a limp after being tossed into a police van while picketing in support of striking furniture workers. Embry, his wife Elise and Jenny Stearns formed the core of the Patriot organization in the D.C. area.
Another prominent organizer was Steven "Nick" Greer, the former head of the Students for Democratic Society chapter at George Washington University.
They planned to set up a free breakfast for children program, establish a liberation school and initiate a health clinic in a white working class neighborhood—emulating the Black Panthers’ program of serving the people.
However, the Patriots struggled in the D.C. as Arthur Turco, one of the leaders of the national organization, was indicted in May 1970 for ordering the killing of Baltimore Black Panther suspected of being an informant.
Police also raided the local D.C. Panther office more than once, necessitating a constant vigilance to protect the local Panthers. The indictment of Turco and a number of Baltimore Panthers, along with the threats in D.C., consumed much of the effort by Patriot organizers in the Washington area.
By mid-1971, the D.C. group realized it had become little more than a Panther support committee and folded.
The organization was not related to the later right wing organization of the same name.
Two other organizations also attempted to form white revolutionary organizations aligned with the Black Panther Party—Rising Up Angry based in Chicago, IL and the White Panther Party based in Detroit and Ann Arbor, MI.
There were three issues of The Patriot. We currently have one. For a PDF of this 16-page tabloid, see:

Straightened, minor editing.
From end of 2013 to autumn 2015 I kept a kind of a visual, irregular diary on Ipernity. There were only three or four people who knew about it. As Ipernity will close down by end of January 2017, I’m migrating eight sets of photos from that time, hopefully one per day during the next eight days. This second set is devoted to Rigi, Queen of the Mountains. Despite the EXIF info this is a photo taken by me (swapped cameras with a friend who needed mine).
Life's too short to not just dive in and work. Aligning all the pencils, arranging a few tasteful nicknacks and all that organizing is just a waste of precious time.
I live in a block of flats so this is the only way to get my fix - off road.
Aligning the scope with Polaris is the first job. As this is the first time out with the scope I didn't drive far from home looking for darker skies. Jupiter shines brightly over my head, the Pleiades, or Seven Sisters (Messier object 45), above that, with aircraft zipping to and from Manchester Airport.
有關 700E DFC HV BEC 電力供應匯整.
亞拓林課長的說明
700DFC HV SUPER COMBO 所搭配的高壓無刷伺服器,可以直接接上7.4V的鋰電池供電,不需經過BEC降壓, 如過不想使用2S鋰電池直接供電的話,當然也可以接上BEC穩壓,規格的話只要是真的能持續耐電流6A的BEC就足夠了. 例如亞拓的B6X BEC ,我們也測試了很久,是足夠供給高壓無刷伺服器的!
鐵漢大對高壓伺服電源的說明
建議你，直接用2S直推就好，飛2趟充電一次即可，比你掛再好的bEC都要來的好，出HV舵機的用意本來就是為了鋰聚電池普及而誕生的。
註：鐵漢的700DFC HV是用海力士高壓BEC.
HOBA大對高壓BEC的看法
2s 其實不是電量問題,
2s 是由 8.4v 一路往下降,到低電壓為止約 7.6v (3.8x2) 這是在地面量測的到的值
但在空中負載時,你能確實的掌握到它的"實供"電壓嗎?(低頭看控,沒那麼猛吧?)
我也曾經目擊過 2s 直上的前輩就這樣兩眼開開的看機子往地上砸
也沒多少錢啦,大概一萬大洋就這樣給它企了...(這還不包含新機被開苞的心裡傷害,只計算物理價格)
後來檢測那顆電池,用力壓 ccpm 時壓降到 5.?v (用測電表大致量一下而已,不算準啦)
卡斯特
我有寫信去問卡斯特, 有關 BEC Pro 是否可以使用 3S Lipo 的問題.回文如下.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By all means use a 3s 2200 mah lipo with the BEC Pro. This makes a great set
up and the BEC will be under less stress reducing 11.1 volts instead of 22.2
(half of 12s) or 45 volts (12s). It will be a full 20 amps for 30 second
burst on 3s, way more than any 700 sized heli servos will draw.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
大意是說,
BEC Pro 使用 3S Lipo 是一個不錯的組合設定, 相較於使用 6S, 12S 做為輸入電源, BEC Pro 的負擔會來得輕的許多. 而在 3S 做為電源時,最大電流可以到20A 並持續30杪, 足夠提供任何700級直昇機的動力.
在組裝700E DFC的感想
1. 主橫軸在在穿拆其中一邊旋翼夾時,須要輕敲才能拆裝.
2. H座射出成型精準度不夠,致使 Gyro 座即使在調整後,中間接合處依然略高.
解決方式：在黏完3GX後,已用數位螺距規量是在零度,暫沒有必要調整.
3. 十字盤已調在主軸行程中點,但調集體螺距0度時,DFC連桿A跟連桿頭只吃了一半的螺紋,令人很不放心.但在調整升降邊界極限時,預設的70%在集體螺距打到+12度時,會干涉,只好調到60%.
2012/8/4
拉高十字盤,二邊拉桿各二圈來補-3度的螺距，來加深DFC拉桿頭吃螺紋的深度.
主要是螺距、副翼伺服固定座比實際伺服長度略長，於是鎖伺服便有上下的差距，也影響到連桿長度
分析原因
因為 Pitch, AILE二個伺服器是固定在第一主軸固定座及第二主軸固定座,而第一主軸固定座及第二固定座間的鎖伺服孔位距離略大於伺服器中心孔位.伺服器在上了工字形伺服器及銅環後,二端銅環中心孔的距離較短.所以上方銅環鎖上第一主軸固定座時,下方就會離第二主軸固定座有段距離.
所以如您選擇中間的位置,也就是把伺服略低的位罝.這大約是拉桿4圈的距離.這4圈的距離約是集體螺距3度的距離.因此,當CCPM拉桿按照說明書長度調好,DFC拉桿轉到低時,這時在調機時,集體螺距在遙控器中立點時,會是-3度.這時如調DFC拉桿頭時,會致使DFC拉桿頭只吃約一半的螺紋.於是,這時只好把CCPM三支拉桿長度由原來說明書的長度再拉長3-4圈的距離,使得DFC拉桿頭可以吃到更多的螺紋(幾乎到底)而降低風險.
4. 在組尾雙推時,用來連接尾T型控制臂及尾控制連桿頭的軸套螺絲-銀(牙長3mm) M2x8mm, 未鎖到底,只能靠螺絲膠鎖定.還未鎖到底,就會干涉到尾控制連桿頭的活動了.後來詢問亞拓,此為正常設計.
5. 尾波箱在裝上尾管後,無論怎利用間隙調整,都無法保持水平,也就是看起來垂直尾翼下方會有點向左外翻的角度.
目前僅能儘量在可調範圍內調水平, 再看試機狀況.
6. 用亞拓2S/1900/40C電池直推,尾伺服及螺距伺服器在地面調機時,一開始會有快速小幅抖動的現象.一段時間就會消失.尾舵不定時也會小抖一下.
2012/8/4
隔天再次測試，尾舵竟然不抖了，正常了。只有剩副翼伺服在中立點會小幅＂微震＂。不同是，昨天2S充飽，電壓XG11回傳8.4V，調了二小時機到8.0V.
今天第二次試機，約一小時，電壓由7.9->7.7V，難道直推電壓太高？要用BEC穩壓？現在所以打算使用分離式3S供電加高壓BEC。由11.1/12V降至7.4V是安全又有效率的做法。像JR的高壓伺服及Server King 695規格上就標明耐壓到8.4V.這也是為何我決定上Castle BECPro的原因。因為電是沒有模擬二可的，必須很精準。因為但長期處於超壓工作的舵機，就算不故障。那天要罷工也不知。高壓伺服最近才開始普及，大家包含我自己也沒有經驗，只能邊試邊累積經驗。除了Castle BEC Pro外，JETI SBEC也是不錯的選擇。
2012/8/6
今天用充飽的2S/1900/40C再測試，一送電沒有抖。接著操作控，在36分鐘內XG11回傳的電壓由8.5->8.0, 沒有抖動。
結論
700DFC HV 我個人覺是架CP值很高的機子.相較於其他品牌700級的機子.亞拓在品質,功能及技術支援上都不錯.只是小弟第一次接觸到高壓伺服器及700等級, 每一地方都小心研究.或許它不完美,但亞拓即時不斷的連絡解決我的問題.我仍對它很滿意..
