Climate change screws with everything.
this used to be African desert, not so anymore.
The moisture in the air is almost unbearable, it feels like breathing under water.

Easy to disassemble. Only unscrewing the tail cap is required to replace the single rechargeable Lithium battery cell shown here - a very commonly available 18650 size. All segments are sealed with rubber o-rings to keep water out if riding in heavy rain. The rings at the base of the lamp head are heat sinks to minimize temperature built up from the very hot LED emitter.
Flashlight weight = 185 grams
Tapeworms tend to be non-pathogenic. There's usually no need to treat for them, even when you see segments in the feces.

On November 12, 1996, President Clinton signed into law the Omnibus Parks and Public Lands Management Act of 1996. With it, two segments of Elkhorn Creek, totaling 6.4 miles, became part of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.
East of Salem, Oregon, on the west side of the Cascade Mountains, Elkhorn Creek is a subwatershed to the North Fork Santiam River and flows into the Little North Santiam River just below Elkhorn Woods Park. If you’ve ever hiked from the popular Opal Creek trailhead, you’ve driven very close to it!
The BLM manages Elkhorn Creek from the Willamette National Forest boundary downstream, until it enters private property about a quarter mile from its confluence with the Little North Santiam River.
Why is Elkhorn Creek so special? Every wild and scenic river must possess what are called Outstandingly Remarkable Values, and Elkhorn Creek’s include its fantastic scenery and wildlife.
Scenic qualities of the creek’s meandering corridor include a range of features from vertical rock outcrops to dense, relatively undisturbed and mature forest.
Along the creekside habitat, visitors to the Elkhorn Creek area will find big-leaf maple, red alder, Douglas-fir, Western hemlock, and Western redcedar trees, with understory shrub layers of vine maple, huckleberries, salal, Oregon grape, and sword ferns.
Upper Willamette River winter-run steelhead trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and spring Upper Willamette River chinook salmon (O. tshawytscha) - both listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act - inhabit lower Elkhorn Creek, as do coastal cutthroat trout (O. clarki clarki), and sculpins (Cottus spp.).
Oregon slender salamanders can be found in the adjacent Douglas-fir stands, as can number of bat species of concern associated with caves and mines, bridges, buildings, cliff habitat, or large snags with sloughing bark.
Throughout much of the Elkhorn’s route, little evidence of human intrusion into the creek’s corridor is present, and it is accessible by roads in only two places.

A U.S. Army Africa (USARAF) organized Africa Deployment Assistance Partnership Team (ADAPT) recently trained, and for the first time ever, certified 25 soldiers of the Uganda People’s Defense Force (UPDF) as C-130 aircraft load planners in Entebbe, Uganda.
A five-person team, led by Gordon Christensen of Army Africa’s G-4 Mobility Division, completed Phase III training with UPDF soldiers Aug. 27 in Entebbe, Uganda, said John Hanson, chief of the G-4 Policy and Programs Branch.
“This was the first actual air load certification we’ve done, of all the previous ADAPT engagements,” Hanson said. “That’s what makes it unique.”
Two weeks of classroom instruction and hands-on training enabled 25 of 31 students to earn U.S. Air Force Air Mobility Command Form 9 certification, significantly augmenting the Uganda land force’s air deployment capability, while developing greater interoperability with U.S. military forces, Hanson said.
The ADAPT program, developed to enhance the force projection capabilities of African militaries, is managed by the USARAF G-4 staff. Its aim is to bridge the gap between limited deployment capacity and the need to provide forces in support of peacekeeping or humanitarian relief operations, Hanson said.
“We’re building capacity for people to deploy, to do their own missions,” he said.
Even when the training doesn’t lead to actual U.S. Air Force certification, as it did this time in Uganda, it contributes to an enhanced deployment capacity for the land force involved, Hanson said.
“That’s the intent. They can’t do the certification, but they can continue to train their own people. Then we back off and they continue to do that,” he said.
The program is a Title 22 tactical logistics engagement funded by the U.S. Department of State, and focuses on African countries that contribute troops to peacekeeping operations, Hanson said.
Training is executed in four installments in order to create a long-term, phased approach to building deployment capacity, Hanson said. Instructors take students from a general orientation to tactical deployment principles to an advanced level of practical proficiency.
Instructors for the UPDF course were sourced using the Request For Forces (RFF) process, Hanson said.
Christensen was accompanied U.S. Army Capt. Jedmund Greene of 21st Theater Support Command’s 16th Sustainment Brigade, based in Kaiserslautern, Germany, and three Air Force noncommissioned officers: Tech. Sgt. Venus Washington, Robbins Air Force Base, Ga.; Tech. Sgt. Byran Quinn, Pope Air Force Base, N.C.; and Senior Master Sgt. Anthony D. Tate of the Illinois Air National Guard.
“The training helped to strengthen the relationship with our Ugandan partners, and also helped them build a self-sustaining deployment capacity,” Greene said. “I hope 21st TSC can increase its support to USARAF logistics theater security cooperation events in the future.”
Army Africa’s G-4 staff is presently working to synchronize ADAPT with the Africa Contingency Operations Training and Assistance (ACOTA) program. A proof of concept joint training was conducted with ACOTA in Rwanda earlier this year, combining tactical- and support-staff training in logistics with the more complex operational techniques of force deployment and mobility, Hanson said.
The Rwanda training demonstrated the feasibility of combining available U.S. government resources to achieve the most efficient and focused effort to advance common foreign policy objectives with U.S. partners in Africa, he said.
To date, ADAPT missions have been funded for eight African countries. Previous training sessions have been conducted in Rwanda, Ghana and Burkina Faso as well as Uganda, and the number is likely to grow in coming years, Hanson said.
“The programs were identified as being of interest to several other countries during the Army Africa Theater Army Security Cooperation Conference, held in Vicenza in August,” Hanson said.
The next planned ADAPT mission is for Phase I training in Botswana, scheduled for the first quarter of 2011, he said.

Some first architectural ideas on the way to constructing a modular origami tower from A4 sheets. Projected height: 2.5 to 3 m. That's far below the technical limits, but anything beyond that size would require a lab with higher ceilings and a crowdfolding project for making all the required modules.

The diode is covered with heat shrink tubing, and then the connectors are crimped to either end. Mark the tubing with a stripe, to match the stripe on the diode itself (yellow arrow).
Important: Make sure the tubing doesn't insulate the connector from the diode.
This replaceable unit is put into the wire that corresponds with the sensor's signal wire. Build several of these units, with different diodes. That way you can quickly change diodes.
Also build a unit with just a wire, instead of a diode. This gives normal (lean) operation, without the rich effect of the diode.

This FIAT Tipo (Type 160), 5-door hatchback of 1988 looks pretty ordinary. This ordinariness obscures the importance of this model to the FIAT Group as a whole.
The Tipo was a C-segment hatchback, much like the VW Golf. It debuted a new platform however, one which would form the basis for a significant number of the FIAT Groups vehicle lines.
Both Alfa Romeo and Lancia had only recently been amalgamated into the FIAT Group. Both companies had aged product lines, inefficient manufacturing plants, and low economies of scale.
Where the Tipo directly replaced the Ritmo, it also formed the basis for the Tempra Sedan and Wagon (replacing the Regata). The Tempra was nearly identical to the Lancia Dedra, and related Delta (II) hatchbacks, along with the Alfa Romeo 155, and hatchback 145/146 models.
Such cost-efficiency allowed the FIAT Group to develop a number of niche vehicle from the platform also, some including a higher level of more expensive, unique hardware. These included the FIAT Coupe along with the Type 916 Alfa Romeo Spider and GTV.
The architecture was further evolved into the FIAT C1 platform, again providing the basis for a suite of models for FIAT, Lancia and Alfa Romeo brands.
