Let me end with the largest possible shout out to everyone involved in the extraordinary response to this disaster. Thank you for all that you’ve done to render aid to those whose lives have been turned upside down without warning. You know who you are, and you are our heroes.

The often-tight annular clearance between the casing ID and production tubing OD during conveyance and retrieval has been cited for all manner of abrasion-engendered damage to highly vulnerable ESP power cables. Together with the delicate motor lead extensions (MLE)—the smaller cable terminated into the pothead motor connector—power cables represent 40% to 60% of total ESP capital costs, while also accounting for upward of 45% of ESP failures. Often, transit voltage conditions, aggravated by frequent starts and stops, exacerbate abrasions and other seemingly minor damage, eventually blowing out the cable.

Sony – Sony is increasing production of next generation 3D camera sensors in response to interest from Apple and others, according to a Bloomberg report. A Sony executive is quoted as saying the sensor business is turning a profit and will positively impact earnings next fiscal year.

“We’ll try to build off the success of last year and get more success from more boats this year,” Tapp said.

“[Diversity benefits] communities, schools and across society as a whole. So by meeting positive role models, running workshops which tackle the causes of bullying and opening young minds to literature that challenges stereotypes, we hope the LGBT+ Reading Roadshow has a positive impact on students and builds on the existing work of schools.”

Abstract: According to an aspect a method for building an interactive multimedia process flow chart is provided. The method includes displaying a process flow chart in an interactive graphically editable format on a user interface. The process flow chart includes a plurality of nodes each located entirely in a single node cell of a node grid. A pair of output hubs on a decision node of the process flow chart is linked to a pair of nodes defining a yes-path and a no-path. An output hub of a process step node of the process flow chart is linked to a single node defining a next process step. A link is established to an end node of the process flow chart absent any output links from the end node. The decision node, process step node, and end node each have a common shape including a display region and an editing command region.

“NHRA has been a win-win for E3 and for the racers that participate in our NHRA contingency program,” said E3 Vice President of Motorsports Rob Fisher. “This extension of another three years to 2024 was an easy decision. Our goal is to support the NHRA racers, crews and fans by having a strong presence at events that fuel their passion for drag racing at its finest. We like the direction NHRA is heading with the evolution of programs like NHRA TV, Pro Mod drag racing, and Factory Stock just to name a few. Consequently, extending our contract underscores our commitment to the racers and fans.”
