#3. plenum

[channeledhistory]

[...] [...] Mit einem zunehmenden Maß an Sanktionen und an Embargos konfrontiert, setzt Beijing darauf, die Entwicklung von Spitzentechnologien gezielt eigenständig voranzutreiben und sich vom Ausland unabhängig zu machen. Es gelte, »die Resilienz und die Sicherheit von Liefer- und Versorgungsketten zu erhöhen«, ist im Abschlusskommuniqué des 3. Plenums zu lesen. Die qualitative Entwicklung soll dabei Vorrang vor der quantitativen erhalten, sie zählt künftig mehr als Wachstumsziffern. Das ZK strebt darüber hinaus eine Angleichung der Lebensbedingungen der chinesischen Bevölkerung an. Das gilt zum einen für die immer noch klaffenden Differenzen zwischen den hochmodernen Metropolen, insbesondere in den Küstenregionen, und dem Land. [...] Konkret sollen wohl die Landwirtschaft verbessert und die ländliche Infrastruktur aufgewertet werden. [...] Darüber hinaus kündigte das ZK weitere Maßnahmen im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel an. [...] Das 3. Plenum stellt in seinem Abschlusskommuniqué zudem Reformen etwa im Steuer- und Finanzsystem in Aussicht [...] Schon vorab war spekuliert worden, das ZK könne sich mit den schon lange geforderten Anpassungen im Steuersystem befassen und für eine bessere Finanzausstattung der Kommunen sorgen. Diese tragen zwar einen großen Teil der finanziellen Last, dürfen aber zuwenig von den Steuergeldern einbehalten, um sie zu finanzieren. Die Folge ist eine überaus starke Verschuldung der Kommunen. Die Reformmaßnahmen, die das 20. ZK fordert, sollen [...] bis zum 80. Geburtstag der Volksrepublik im Jahr 2029 umgesetzt sein. Das soll weitere Schritte ermöglichen, an deren Ende dann im Jahr 2035 das Ziel erreicht sein soll, »eine sozialistische Marktwirtschaft mit hohen Standards« zu schaffen und »das System des Sozialismus mit chinesischen Charakteristika zu verbessern«. Damit seien dann die Grundlagen dafür geschaffen, China bis zur Jahrhundertmitte zu »einem großartigen modernen sozialistischen Land« zu machen. [...] In der kommenden Woche wird eine hochrangige US-Wirtschaftsdelegation in Beijing erwartet, die sich dort unter anderem mit Handelsminister Wang Wentao, aber auch mit Außenminister Wang Yi treffen will, um die Bedingungen auszuloten, denen ihr China-Geschäft in Zukunft ausgesetzt ist. Erwartet werden etwa: der Präsident des US-China Business Councils (USCBC), Craig Allen; der Chef von Fedex, Raj Subramaniam; zudem Manager etwa des Halbleiterkonzerns Qualcomm und der Investmentbank Goldman Sachs, von Nike, Starbucks und United Health. Die Manager sollen sich [...] mehrere Tage lang in der chinesischen Hauptstadt aufhalten und dort am Freitag kommender Woche an der China Operations Conference teilnehmen, die das USCBC einmal pro Jahr für seine Mitglieder organisiert. Dann wird klar sein, wie sich die Beschlüsse des 3. Plenums auf auswärtige Unternehmen auswirken – auch auf deutsche übrigens.

1. Stock markets tumbled on Monday, with Japanese shares at one point exceeding their 1987 "Black Monday" loss, as fears of a U.S. recession sent investors fleeing from risk while wagering that rate cuts would be needed to rescue growth. The safe haven yen and Swiss franc surged, as crowded carry trades unravelled, sparking speculation that some investors were unloading profitable trades to get money to cover losses elsewhere. Such was the torrent of selling that circuit breakers were triggered on stock exchanges across Asia. (Source: reuters.com)

2. Taiwan stocks ended down 8.4% on Monday, a record slump, with tech stocks including TSMC plunging as investors sold off one of Asia's top performing markets this year, spooked by a poor outlook for global tech stocks and the U.S. economy. The main index shed 1,807.21 points, its worst one-day percentage fall, to close at 19,830.88, the lowest level since April 23. The decline was fuelled by a sell-off in tech, and then spread more broadly as the index dipped below the key 20,000 level. (Source: reuters.com)

3. Earlier today, South Korea's stock market marked its worst session since the global financial crisis of 2008, with trading curbs activated for the first time in four years, as tech stocks slumped amid U.S. recession fears. The benchmark KOSPI stock index ended the session down 8.8% at 2,441.55, its biggest percentage fall since Oct. 24, 2008. During the session, the KOSPI fell as much as 10.8%, triggering circuit breakers for the first time since March 2020, which are trading curbs activated when the index falls or rises more than 8% and halts trading of stocks and derivatives for 20 minutes. (Source: reuters.com)

4. A closely watched measure of expected US stock market turbulence surged to its highest level in almost four years today as a global stock sell-off gathered pace. The Vix index of expected volatility in the S&P 500 — commonly known as Wall Street’s “fear gauge” — rose to as much as 41.8 points by morning in London to its highest level since November 2020, breaking above an intraday peak in March 2023 following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank. The Vix measures the price of options that enable investors to profit from swings in the S&P 500. (Source: ft.com)

5. U.S. pension funds are beginning to explore investments around bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, a move that could expose millions of former teachers, police officers, firefighters and other retirees to the wild ups and downs of a largely unregulated financial product. In at least five states, industry lobbyists have aggressively hawked the idea, aiming to woo local lawmakers with the promise that digital assets can deliver sky-high profits — often without fully acknowledging the possible risks. The emerging sales campaign contrasts with the broad warnings in Washington that investing in cryptocurrency could leave retirees’ life savings vulnerable to “fraud, theft and loss.” (Source: washingtonpost.com)

6. After more than a decade as a recurring tea-time conversation topic, the delay in retirement is nearing reality in China, set to impact over 500 million workers as the country grapples with a rapidly aging population. The five-year reform blueprint, released last month following a key Communist Party gathering, includes a commitment to raise the retirement age. According to the resolution adopted at the Third Plenum of the party’s 20th Central Committee, China will gradually increase the statutory retirement age based on the principle of “voluntary participation with appropriate flexibility.” For the first time, a key policy document outlines the principles of the reform, fueling expectations that the decade-long initiative will soon be implemented.

HP FESTS: Dreomione Fest (Part 3)

Dreomione Fest 2023:

Hermione Granger’s Love Triangle that Wasn’t Actually a Love Triangle at All by SarahFraser - E, one-shot - Hermione has been dating both Draco and Theo for years. They’ve kept it very downlow to avoid public scrutiny of their lifestyle, but they now are tired of hiding. While Hermione still doesn’t engage in a lot of PDA with either of her boyfriends since she doesn’t feel the need to share her personal business with anyone. After Draco makes a very public proposal, people are starting to make a lot of assumptions…

Pole Magic by Draco_is_daddy66 - E, WIP - After the war, Hermione needed an outlet. When her friend from the muggle world suggested pole fitness, she was sceptical. Two years later, she was the local club's main act on Friday and Saturday nights. When she heard down the grapevine that two young bachelors had bought the club, she was not expecting the man who made her life hell during school and one of his sidekicks. Draco and Theo may not have known that Hermione worked at the club. There was no way they would ignore the opportunity to tame the lioness.

Midnight Train Going Anywhere by Ceilidhchaos - G, one-shot - In an AU where Draco had his mission to kill Dumbledore, but not the Mark, and is nearly killed by Bellatrix and Voldemort for his failure, Narcissa insists that Theo take Draco and flee Britain so that they aren’t forced to take the Dark Mark and be killed. Hermione obliviated her parents only to return to Harry and Ron and got into a huge fight with them after getting the locket because she didn’t know how to destroy it. When Ron asked her, “Well then what good are you?” and Harry didn’t disagree with him, something inside Hermione finally snapped and she decided to leave the U.K. The Order could figure this out without her. She wished them luck, really she did, but she was taking the midnight Eurostar and going as far away as she could. Taking her seat, she discovers companions on the ride that she never expected to see.

Love like cyanide by PenNameUnknown - M, WIP - They had thought she was safe, if not happy. So when her husband murders her in cold blood, they try and send themselves back. The ritual was old and dark and would involve every last drop of blood that waste of magic carried in his body. End the war. Woo, the witch. Refrain from killing her chosen family. Not an unreasonable list of things to do. At least, as her friend Theo had important details not necessarily revealed to the public. This time Draco wouldn’t be marked.

Secrets and Lies by Ceilidhchaos, sobsinashell - E, one-shot - Epilogue Compliant at the beginning of the story, but nothing is what it seems. It’s a world of secrets and lies. High Priestess Reversed: Ignorance. Short-sightedness. Lack of understanding. Blocked intuition. Hidden agendas. Secrets.

Alone We May Fight, So Just Let Us Be Three Tonight by rottendiary - E, one-shot - A drunk game of Veritaserum or Dare in the woods reveals Draco and his boyfriend Theo's not-so-secret feelings for Hermione.

Trinitas Lūna Plenum by Hydra_bitch_please01 - E, WIP - Hermione Granger went back to Hogwarts to finish her education unlike her best friends. Also unlike Harry and Ronald, she was now a werewolf thanks to Greyback. Also unlike them, she found herself unknowing creating a pack with two other new werewolves: Draco Lucius Malfoy and Theodore Nott. Double also unlike them, she somehow found herself fucking two Slytherins. What she didn't quite realise yet, was she was now both pureblood men's Werewolf Alpha and they would follow her off a cliff if she needed. If Hermione had bet her last year at Hogwarts would go horribly wrong, she would never in her wildest dreams nor nightmares have guessed this would be her life.

Summertime by BexYZ - T, one-shot - Draco's two best friends have been abroad this summer. They come home different than they left.

Every Breaking Wave by octopussoap - E, WIP - “I don’t—I’m having a hard time believing--” she gestures between the three of them “this." “That’s understandable.” Theo nods, then sweeps back some loose curls that fall onto his forehead. “With the time you’re missing--back then, you and I were strangers, and you and Draco…" Hermione bites her lip, trying to work through everything she’s been told in the past handful of hours. “My friends tell me that I love you—both. They say I’m happy, they say we have children together.” Theo nods. “This is all true.”

The Cold and the Dutiful by SaffronGin - E, one-shot - Finding happiness outside of their marriages couldn't possibly end poorly, could it?

Dream A Little Dream by Ceilidhchaos - M, one-shot - Hermione is the Minister of Magic, but she's divorced and lonely. For some reason, she keeps dreaming that she has two husbands and they are all madly in love. Its hard to deal with her awake life where the two men aren't who they are in her dreams.

right where you left me by smokyquartz - T, one-shot - Time had never been more intangible once all the light in his world was lost, stealing every last trace of love he'd found in his lonely life. He was in his safe-haven, he was supposed to be okay. Ivy had dug in its roots. Theodore Nott was used to being left behind.

Dawn of a New Day by Mrzheyward1116 - E, WIP - The divorce was messy but all Draco wanted out of it was to have custody of Scorpius. After accepting an invitation to live with complete strangers, a series of uneventful things happens.

Daddy issues by emotionalsupporthufflepuff - E, WIP - Almost twenty years ago, Draco left it all behind- the money, the fame, the titles - to raise his son in peace and pursue his relationship with Theo Nott. Just when he thinks he's reached the limit of how much he can sacrifice for Theo, Hermione Granger crash lands into their lives.

This fest is ongoing.

Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution 

The long history of Mitsubishi and the Paris Dakar Rally meant that in the mid-1990s when it was time to develop the next competition car the pressure was on. It needed to be based on a current production car for homologation purposes, and a road-legal version needed to be offered for sale to the general public. Known as the Mitsubishi Pajero Evolution for obvious reasons, the new vehicle was based on the unibody shell of the second generation Pajero – however it was vastly modified, with new suspension, a wide body kit, skid plates, large mud flaps, with power provided by a 275 bhp 3.5 liter 24 valve DOHC V6 6G74 engine with MIVEC and a dual plenum variable intake.For those unfamiliar with the acronym, MIVEC stands for “Mitsubishi Innovative Valve-Timing Electronic Control” it’s a variable valve timing system that allows different timing for the intake and exhaust valves depending on load, engine speed, and driving conditions.Inside the vehicle you’ll find Recaro seats with larger bolsters than the standard Mitsubishi seats designed to keep the driver and front passenger in place even when enthusiastic off-road driving is undertaken.Other than the seats the interior looks very similar to the standard second generation Pajero, largely due to the fact that this was a low-volume homologation model and so interior parts were kept close to stock to keep costs in check.

Mitsubishi built 2,500 examples of the V55W between 1997 and 1999 for homologation purposes. Most were fitted with the 5-speed automatic transmission (with a dual range transfer case) however some received a 5-speed manual – most other specifications remained largely unchanged over the production run.

The Pajero Evolution model series would become the most successful production-based Dakar rally vehicles ever made – taking 12 victories from 1985 to 2007, even managing a historic 1-2-3 finish in 1998 which cemented its reputation as King of the Desert.

before i go to bed, i want to thank everyone who left kind tags on my most recent work <3 you will hear from me individually, but i want to say this to the plenum:

i was nervous about writing pet play because it’s not something i’m really “into”—i just had this vision that i felt compelled to write about. and i know many of you aren’t necessarily into pet play (or obey me), so it really warms my heart that you would take the time to read it :,-)

i think it says a lot about my little blog and my online friends that i feel comfortable enough to constantly post writing that pushes me outside of my comfort zone! i love you all and hope your days/evenings are going well!!! kisses <3

Introduction to the Devi Upanishad, "the Exploration of the Mysteries of the Device".

The Devi Upanishad was likely written between the 9th and 14th centuries CE. It is one of the five Atharvashiras Upanishads, which are important to the Shakta and Tantra philosophy traditions. The Devi Upanishad refers to Mahadevi as representing all goddesses. It is numbered 87 of 108.

The banner refers to what is called the yantra, or the “contraption” which is found in the reproductive area of the female woman. It is very, very mysterious:

The reasons hindus have both gods and goddesses is similar to the reasons the Jews have them: one represents intent, the other represents their fundamental energy. Male forms perform, female forms provide the “configuration.”

I have not found the study of the gods and goddesses to be particularly helpful but a deep analysis of the references in the Upanishads can help release some limitations imposed upon the Self by the mind:

Om ! Gods ! With ears let us hear what is good; Adorable ones ! With eyes let us see what is good. With steady limbs, with bodies, praising, Let us enjoy the life allotted by the gods. May Indra, of wide renown, grant us well-being; May Pusan the god of the sun, and all-gods, grant us well-being. May Tarksya, (Siva) of unhampered movement, grant us well-being. May Brihaspati god of prayer grant us well-being. Om ! Peace ! Peace ! Peace !

1. All the gods waited upon the Goddess (and asked): ‘Great Goddess, who art Thou ?’

2. She replied: I am essentially Brahman. From Me (has proceeded) the world comprising Prakriti and Purusha, the void and the Plenum. I am (all forms of) bliss and non-bliss. Knowledge and ignorance are Myself. Brahman and non-Brahman are to be known – says the scripture of the Atharvans.

3. I am the five elements as also what is different from them. I am the entire world. I am the Veda as well as what is different from it. I am the unborn; I am the born. Below and above and around am I.

There are hundreds of goddesses and stories about them in Hinduism, the primary form is called Durga, “the power terrible”. She has a pleasant form called Uma, and an extremely terrifying form called Kali. They are poorly enumerated and understood in the west. Devi is very similar to Ishtar from the Book of Esther in the Jewish religious tradition, as she represents social evolution and change. This She does through the destruction of blockades between man and nature, man and society, and man within himself.

The most famous myth called Devi called the Devi Mahatmayam explains Her victory over a king that was a rapist who could not be subdued by the law.

Social Justice does not need to be justified nor should it be debated. Without it, our lives are groundless. We shall continue to discuss how the goddess represents victory over man’s stubborn desire to be lethal to other men and why this tendency must be eliminated for good.

https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/vietnam-president-lam-takes-top-job-communist-party-chief-2024-08-03/

HANOI, Aug 3 (Reuters) - Vietnamese President To Lam was named on Saturday to the nation's top position, general secretary of the ruling Communist Party of Vietnam, replacing Nguyen Phu Trong, who died two weeks ago.

Lam, 67, had temporarily taken on the party chief's duties on July 18, a day before Trong's death, as his health deteriorated.

Party delegates unanimously supported Lam's nomination, officials told a press conference.

Addressing the delegates, he vowed to inherit and promote Trong's legacy, make no changes to the Southeast Asian nation's foreign policy, focus on achieving its socioeconomic development goals and continue a campaign against graft.

"In the coming time, the work on anti-corruption will be continued fiercely," Lam told the press conference. "Personally I feel fortunate that I have much experience in handling anti-graft campaign during the time I worked at the police ministry."

Vietnam, a major destination for manufacturing investment, has long been favoured by multinational corporations for its political stability, but experienced major turbulence in recent months that officials said was fuelled by the anti-graft effort.

The nation does not formally have a paramount leader, but the head of the party has a more prominent role than others, after Trong beefed up its power during his 13-year tenure.

Lam, a career security officer, had been seen as long aiming to become party chief, with experts calling the presidency a stepping stone for the top job.

"It is a sign of a temporary halt of internal fighting within the party," Nguyen Khac Giang, a Vietnam expert at Singapore think tank the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute.

"Although Lam vowed to push forward the anti-corruption campaign, the campaign may slow down a little as he may prioritize stabilising the party system before the party congress in 2026."

It was not immediately clear whether Lam would retain both top jobs until the legislative session ends in 2026, or whether a new president would be chosen.

Lam was elected president in May after leading the sweeping campaign of high-profile investigations against corruption as police minister. He replaced Vo Van Thuong, who had been in the job about a year when he quit amid accusations of unspecified wrongdoing.

Officials and diplomats said the party had discussed possibly naming a new president so that Lam could focus on the party chief job. Discussions may still be under way, one diplomat said on Saturday.

If Lam retains both jobs, he may boost his powers and possibly adopt a more autocratic leadership style, officials have said, similar to that of Xi Jinping, who is China's party chief and state president.

That would be a change for Vietnam, which, unlike its far larger neighbour, has engaged in more collective decision-making, with leaders subject to multiple checks.

It would not, however, be unprecedented. Trong held both top jobs for nearly three years until April 2021 after the death of a former president.

"In case the plenum ends without naming any new state president to replace Lam, it is a signal of a new chapter for Vietnam," Giang said. "This practice can then become a norm, not just until 2026, but even after that."

Xi congratulated Lam on his new role, the official Xinhua news agency said.

The Ultimate Guide to Cat 6 Cable: What You Need to Know

In the realm of networking and telecommunications, the type of cabling you use can make a significant difference in performance and reliability. Among the various options available, Cat 6 cable stands out as a popular choice for both residential and commercial networks. In this guide, we'll delve into what Cat 6 cable is, its advantages, applications, and why it might be the right choice for your networking needs.

What is Cat 6 Cable?

Cat 6, or Category 6, cable is a standardized twisted pair cable used for Ethernet and other network physical layers. Introduced in the early 2000s, Cat 6 is an improvement over the previous generation, Cat 5e, offering enhanced performance and bandwidth capabilities.

Key Features:

- Bandwidth: Up to 250 MHz

- Data Transfer Speed: Supports speeds up to 10 Gbps over short distances (up to 55 meters)

- Cable Structure: Typically consists of four twisted pairs of copper wire

- Backward Compatibility: Works with Cat 5 and Cat 5e systems

Advantages of Cat 6 Cable

1. High-Speed Performance: Cat 6 cables are designed to support Gigabit Ethernet and even 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances, making them ideal for high-speed network applications.

2. Reduced Crosstalk: Thanks to improved shielding and tighter twists in the cable pairs, Cat 6 reduces crosstalk (interference from adjacent cables) and system noise, leading to a more reliable network connection.

3. Future-Proofing: Investing in Cat 6 cabling ensures that your network infrastructure can handle higher speeds and more demanding applications as technology evolves.

4. Improved Signal Quality: With higher signal-to-noise ratio, Cat 6 cables provide better signal quality, which is crucial for error-free data transmission.

Applications of Cat 6 Cable

Cat 6 cables are versatile and can be used in a variety of settings and applications, including:

- Home Networking: For high-speed internet access, streaming, and gaming.

- Office Networks: To support robust and fast network connectivity in small to medium-sized businesses.

- Data Centers: For connecting servers, switches, and other network equipment with high-speed data transfer requirements.

- VoIP and Video Conferencing: Ensuring clear and reliable communication over IP networks.

- Security Systems: Connecting IP cameras and other security devices that require stable network connections.

Installation Considerations

When installing Cat 6 cable, there are a few important considerations to keep in mind:

- Cable Length: While Cat 6 supports 10 Gbps speeds, this is typically limited to distances of up to 55 meters. For longer runs, speeds may drop to 1 Gbps. Always plan your network layout with cable lengths in mind.

- Shielding: Cat 6 cables come in both shielded (STP) and unshielded (UTP) varieties. Shielded cables provide additional protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), which can be beneficial in environments with high interference.

- Proper Termination: Ensure that cables are properly terminated with compatible connectors (RJ45) and patch panels to maintain performance standards.

Choosing the Right Cat 6 Cable

When selecting Cat 6 cable, consider the following:

- Quality: Look for cables from reputable manufacturers that meet or exceed TIA/EIA standards.

- Plenum vs. Non-Plenum: For installations in building spaces with air circulation for heating and cooling (plenum spaces), use plenum-rated cables that meet fire safety standards.

- Cost: While Cat 6 cables are more expensive than Cat 5e, the performance benefits often justify the additional cost, especially for future-proofing your network.

Conclusion

What is an Air Handling Unit (AHU) and Its Function?

An air handling unit is equipment that is commonly used to supply fresh air to various areas within a building. The trend of installing AHU units is not limited to commercial settings but has delved into homes, businesses, offices, and any place where HVAC functions.

Here is an overview of key features and details about air handling units

Key Air Handling Unit Functions

An air handling unit is a significant part of HVAC systems which is used for regulating temperature and ensuring optimal indoor air quality. Here are some of the most important air handling unit functions:

AHU units manage ventilation by:

Taking in outdoor air and indoor air

Filtering it

Adjusting temperature and humidity levels

Distributing conditioned air to different rooms.

These units are ideal for environments with strict hygiene standards, such as healthcare and manufacturing industries.

AHU units are particularly suitable for spaces where occupancy is high and natural ventilation is low.

AHUs can effectively ventilate spaces with underfloor heating.

Where Should AHUs be Installed? 

AHUs can be installed indoors and outdoors, depending on the requirements of the HVAC system. You can place the AHU outside the building to reduce noise levels.

You can also place the units inside for easier maintenance and better control over the indoor environment.

What are the Main Air Handling Unit Components?

An AHU comprises the following Air Handling Unit Components:

A Coma housing or cabinet containing a blower or fan.

Filters that remove externalities from the air and air purification systems.

Heating or Cooling Coils that adjust the air temperature as it passes through the system.

Humidifiers or Dehumidifiers to manage the humidity levels of the air.

Fans to circulate the air through the HVAC system.

Heating or cooling elements such as coils or heat exchangers

Dampers to regulate airflow.

Connection to the ductwork to distribute conditioned air to different areas.

How do AHUs Operate?

The primary goal of an AHU is to maximize energy efficiency. It captures waste heat and recycles it through heat exchanger coils. This process reduces the workload on heating coils and manages energy consumption.

During the cooling process, indoor and outdoor air are mixed to minimize the temperature contrast when reaching the cooling coil. This allows the unit to produce cool air using minimal energy.

Here is a step-by-step process describing how an air-handling unit functions:

Step 1 - Air Intake

This is where outside air is drawn in, filtered, and then distributed throughout the rooms. It can also draw in recycled indoor air.

Step 2 - Filtration

The air filtration system can capture air pollutants, depending on the desired air quality. Regular filter replacement is necessary.

Step 3 - Blower or Fan

This mechanical device pushes the air out of the AHU and into the ducts, from where it is distributed into the rooms.

Step 4 - Heat Exchangers

These Air Handling Unit Components help transfer heat between two fluids—air and coolant—through a solid barrier.

Step 5 - Cooling Coil

The coil cools the air passing through this unit. This process may produce water droplets, which are collected in a condensate tray that is well-equipped with a droplet separator.

Step 6 - Silencer

These materials significantly reduce the noise level generated by the AHU during operation.

Step 7 - Plenums

Lastly, Plenums are positioned in void areas to ensure uniform airflow throughout the system.

Principle of Operation of an Air Handling Unit

The operation of an AHU follows a simple repetitive cycle:

Drawing in the air from outside

Passing the air through a series of filters to remove any impurities

Heating or cooling the air to the desired temperature by passing through coils.

Distributing the conditioned air through ductwork.

HMX, a business unit of A.T.E., uses the highly successful DAMA technology, and follows these 12 principles:

Air pre-filter

Air blower

Filtered ambient air

HE1 - sensible heat exchanger for cooling air without adding water

Primary supply air is cooled without the addition of water

Secondary exhaust air is used to cool the primary supply air in the sensible heat exchanger

HE2 - adiabatic heat exchanger for cooling air

Conditioned air at the machine outlet

Water supply pump for HE1

Water supply pump for HE2

Water sump

Return of water from HE1 and HE2 to sump

Types of Air Handling Units

In terms of space, there are two primary categories of AHUs: packaged units and modular units. Packaged units are usually installed in smaller residential or commercial structures, whereas modular units are typically employed in larger industrial or commercial settings.

Additionally, AHUs can be classified into:

Horizontal and Vertical Units

Draw-through and Blow-through Units

Outdoor Air or Mixing Units

Single-Zone and Multi-Zone Units

Rooftop and Indoor Units

Custom-Built and Field-Built Units

Conclusion

One advantage of AHUs is the ability to install multiple units at a single outdoor location. It's crucial to have backup AHUs installed. AHUs can be set up inside or outside to reduce maintenance efforts and costs.

What Is Fiber Optic Cable?

Optical fiber cable is a type of communication cable. It uses one or more optical fibers in a protective covering to transmit information. We can use optical fiber cables alone or in groups to meet specific performance requirements. 

Fiber cables are mainly composed of optical fibers (glass fibers as thin as hair), plastic protective sleeves, and plastic sheath. There are no metals such as gold, silver, copper, aluminum, etc. inside the cable, and it generally has no recycling value.

Basic Structure

Fiber Optic Cable Types

1. According to different transmission performance, distance, and purpose, optical fiber cables can be divided into end user fiber cable, local telephone cable, long distance cable, and underwater fiber optic cable.

2. According to the types of optical fibers used, they can be divided into single mode fiber optic cable and multimode fiber optic cable.

3. According to the number of fiber cores inside, it can be divided into single core optical cable, dual core fiber cable, multi-fiber cable, etc.

4. According to the different configuration methods of reinforcement components, optical cables can be divided into central reinforcement optical cables, dispersed reinforcement optical cables, protective layer reinforcement optical cables, and comprehensive outer protective layer optical cables.

5. According to the different transmission conductor and medium conditions, optical cables can be divided into non-metallic fiber cable, ordinary optical cables, and comprehensive optical cables (mainly used for railway dedicated network communication lines).

6. According to different laying methods, optical cables can be divided into pipeline optical cables, underground fiber optic cable (direct burial fiber optic cable), aerial fiber optic cable, and submarine fiber optic cable

Optical Fiber Cables Limit

The Optical Fiber cables are mainly limited by two indicators: allowable tensile strength and flattening forces. See below:Cable typeAllowable tensile (N)Allowable tensile (N)Allowable flattening forces (N/100mm)Allowable flattening forces (N/100mm)Short termLong termShort termLong termDuct, non self-supporting aerial fiber optic cable15006001000300underground fiber optic cable3000100030001000Special direct burial fiber optic cable10000400050003000undersea fiber optic cable （20000N）200001000050003000submarine fiber optic cable（40000N）400002000080005000

Pre Terminated Fiber Cable Methods

The main methods include permanent connections, emergency connections, and active connections.

1. Permanent fiber optic connection (also known as fiber optic splicing) 

2. Emergency connection (also known as cold melt, related product will be mechanical connector or fast connector) 

3. Activity Connection 

How To Choose Optical Fiber Cable?

Except fiber count and fiber types, we should consider the external sheath of the cable according to its usage environment when we choose which kind of the optic fiber cable.

1. If directly burying outdoor, armored optic fiber cable should be selected such as GYTS GYTA GYXTW, etc. When overhead, a black plastic outer sheath with two or more reinforcing ribs can be used, such as self-supporting drop cable, figure-8 cable, etc.

2. If used in buildings, should care the flame retardant, toxicity, and smoke characteristics. Generally, flame retardant but smokeless types (Plenum) can be selected in pipelines or forced ventilation areas, while flame-retardant, non-toxic, and smokeless types (Riser) should be selected in exposed environments.

3. If vertically laying cables inside the building, distribution cable can be used; If deploying horizontally, breakout cables can be selected.

If the transmission distance is within 2km, multimode fiber can be selected. If the distance exceeds 2km, relay or single mode fiber can be used.

How To Change Spark Plugs On a Mazda 3.0L V6

In the old days, changing spark plugs on your car, wasn't that big a deal, well not any more. You would think on how to change spark plugs on a Mazda 3.0L V6, wouldn't need a "How To" guide. But here you are, looking into how to accomplish this no so easy task. This article covers the Mazda 3.0L V6 from 2004 to 2008.

The first thing you need to understand. This is one of those jobs where you are doing more than just changing the spark plugs. This job requires some disassembly of the engine. Which means, while you are there, there is other things you should replace while you are at it. Let’s dive into this really fun job and look at what all needs to be done.

What Else to Changing Spark Plugs on a Mazda 3.0L

Here is a quick layout what you will be getting into on changing spark plugs on a Mazda 3.0L. This layout will help you decide now if you even want to attempt it. Some models of Mazda’s with the 3.0L may be more or less difficult. This article is based on the Mazda 6 and the MPV. Overall, they will all be about the same. In order to get to the spark plugs on a Mazda 3.0L, you have to remove the upper plenum.

The plenum has to be removed for the rear three spark plugs only. However, this is going to be your hardest task out of the whole project. In order to remove any of the spark plugs. You first have to remove the coil packs that are mounted on top of the plugs.

There is one more part that should be changed while you have everything apart. The PCV Valve, it is buried below the plenum. If there was ever a time to change the PCV Valve, this is it. So, you can see, this isn’t an impossible task, but more than just a simple changing of the spark plugs on a Mazda 3.0L V6. All in all, you can do this job, completely unexperienced, in and around 3 hours.

How Often Do Spark Plugs on a Mazda 3.0L Need to be Changed

Many spark plugs today can go 100000 miles before needing to be replaced. However, on the Mazda 3.0L between 04 and 08. The answer would be to replace them every 75000 or every 60 months. Coil packs can technically go 100000 miles, but there is a catch. When a spark plug starts declining in performance, it causes the ignition system to decline. Just like in the old days when cars had distributors. When a spark plug starts building up resistance not being able to fire as good as it once did. The ignition backs up into the distributor cap, causing the cap and rotor to burn out sooner. This applies to coil packs as well. When the spark plug starts to not fire as efficiently, it causes the coil packs to overheat and burn out. So, as mentioned above, since you have so much to do to change the spark plugs anyhow. Keeping the plugs and the coil packs changed at the same time is the most logical way to go. Now that you know that how declining spark plugs on a Mazda 3.0L can wear down the coil packs. I hope you understand why it is important to change both at the same time.

Always Replace in Pairs and Sets

There are some shops that shouldn’t even be in business, that will change just the failing plug or coil pack. Do not follow their practice of this stupid mindset. Always change tune-up parts in pairs or sets. Meaning, no matter how many cylinders your engine has. Replace all spark plugs as a set. This includes coil packs or spark plug wires as well. Understand, if one plug is starting to fail, that just means the others are right behind it. Imagine the expense on an engine like this Mazda 3.0L. Where you have to spend 3 hours to remove the plenum each time to replace the rear spark plugs. It makes no sense to replace any parts like for tune-ups or brakes or even headlamp bulbs, one at a time. You can learn more about this by reading my article on “Buying in Pairs to do the Job Right.” ​In the old days, changing spark plugs on your car, wasn't that big a deal, well not any more.

(von tobias bruns)

es gab einen rassistischen vorfall im germanistischen institut einer berliner universität, bekommt dozentin nora rischer per e-mail mitgeteilt, als sie sich gerade hat künstlich befruchten lassen. ein rassistischer vorfall an ihrem institut? wer kann es gewesen sein? wer in dem institut in dem sie arbeitet? doch es dauert nicht lange bis sie zweifel bekommt, sie selbst könne es gewesen sein, als sie neulich nach einem vortrag, der wenig verständlich war, nach einem zwischenruf aus dem plenum den chinesischen austauschstudenten aufgrund ihrer ausspräche einen deutschkurs empfahl. sofort sah sie sich in ihrem kopf mit stimmen unzähliger vorwürfe und anschuldigungen konfrontiert. gerade sie, die sie sich immer als offen und absolut nicht irgendeines ressentiments gegenüber anderen imstande sah, sollte nun einen solchen ungeheuerlichen vorfall zu verantworten haben, sie, die queere frau und nicht irgendein alter weißer mann? sie kann es nicht glauben und sucht nach auswegen, während sie noch immer in der praxis sitzt - nun eingeschlossen, da sie von den mitarbeitern im behandlungszimmer vergessen wurde... das auch noch an einem mittwoch! -, was soll sie nun bloß machen?

eine wunderbare komödie oder auch ein witziges lehrstück über - wie es auf dem buchrücken schon hervorragend zusammengefasst ist -"rassistische strukturen, identitätspolitische debatten und moralische eiertänze". panik macht sich schnell und reflexartig breit, wenn man denkt, man habe etwas falsch gemacht, denn einmal auch nur eine vermutung im raum - ganz egal ob einfach in die welt gesetzt oder mit fakten hinterlegt -, die im netz auftaucht und das leben kann ein anderes sein... nicht nur, dass das netz alles unglaublich schnell und räumlich unbegrenzt verbreitet, es vergisst auch nicht. eine komödie über hypersensibilität und übertriebene political correctness in seinen verschiedensten ausprägungen, die rassismus, sexismus, usw. damit aber auf gar keinen fall verharmlosen möchte, aber zeigt wie schwierig der diskurs im umgang mit diesen "ismen" ist. war das, was ich den studenten aus china empfohlen habe nun schon rassistisch fragt sich dozentin rischer den ganzen roman hindurch. sollte sie sich für diesen ratschlag entschuldigen? wann ist etwas, was man sagt auf rassistische oder andere weise deutbar, auch wenn man es nicht so meinte? eine frage, an der viele verzweifeln - aber meist eben nur die, die es tatsächlich nicht so meinten wie es interpretiert wurde... ein wunderbar konzipierter roman über dieses thema, von dem die autorin gleich zu beginn behauptet diesen garnicht geschrieben zu haben, in dessen erzählfluss immer wieder andere stimmen eingreifen, da sie, wie es immer so ist, auch ihren senf dazu beitragen müssen, die sich distanzieren, die polemisieren, die das nie erwartet hätten und die, die es immer schon wussten,... genial und unglaublich kurzweilig!
