Under the rulemaking, EPA proposed a number of changes and clarifications for standards respecting "glider kits" and "glider vehicles." A glider kit is a chassis for a tractor-trailer with a frame, front axle, interior and exterior cab, and brakes. However, EPA’s efforts to delay and repeal the rule have prompted criticism from some trucking industry officials, state air agencies, environmentalists, and other lawmakers who fear that increasing production of glider vehicles could result in a fractured vehicle market and significantly higher in-use emissions of air pollutants associated with a host of adverse human health effects, including premature mortality. Some in Congress have supported the Trump Administration’s efforts to reverse the standards and provide relief to the affected glider vehicle assembler industry. On July 26, 2018, EPA (under acting Administrator Andrew Wheeler) stated that it would “move as expeditiously as possible on a regulatory revision regarding the requirements that apply to the introduction of glider vehicles into commerce to the extent consistent with statutory requirements and due consideration of air quality impacts.” A rule has not been finalized. On November 16, 2017, EPA (under Administrator Scott Pruitt) proposed to repeal the emission standards and other requirements for heavy-duty glider vehicles, glider engines, and glider kits. The petitioners argued that EPA lacks the authority to regulate glider vehicles under the CAA because they could not be considered “new motor vehicles.” The petitioners asserted that the benefit of a glider vehicle over a new truck is a more affordable, reliable, and fuel efficient vehicle for purchasing that requires less maintenance, yields less downtime, and yet offers a range of currently available safety features and amenities. Subsequent to the Phase 2 rulemaking, EPA received petitions for reconsideration for, among other provisions, the glider requirements. Under the Phase 2 rulemaking, EPA estimated that NOx and PM emissions from glider vehicles using pre-2002 engines (prior to exhaust aftertreatment requirements) could be 20-40 times higher than current engines. At the time, the older model year engines being used in glider vehicles were not required to meet current EPA emission standards for nitrogen oxide and particulate matter (which began in 2007 and took full effect in 2010). EPA and various commentators interpreted this change to be more than an attempt to replace damaged chassis, seeing it instead as an attempt by glider vehicle assemblers to circumvent various federal regulations. ![]() That is, in the decade leading up to the rulemaking, sales of glider vehicles increased by an order of magnitude-from several hundred annually to several thousand or more. ![]() Under the rulemaking, EPA and various commentators argued that glider vehicles should be considered “new motor vehicles” under the Clean Air Act (CAA) because of recent changes in the glider market. The rule sets limits for glider vehicles similar to those for new trucks, with some exemptions. The Phase 2 rule contains GHG and criteria air pollution emission standards for glider vehicles. Glider kits and glider vehicles are produced arguably for purposes such as allowing the reuse of relatively new powertrains from damaged vehicles. The final manufacturer of the glider vehicle (i.e., the entity that assembles the parts) is typically a different entity than the original manufacturer of the glider kit. Engines are often salvaged from earlier model year vehicles, remanufactured, and installed in the glider kit. It becomes a glider vehicle when an engine, transmission, and rear axle are added. ![]() Under the rulemaking, EPA proposed a number of changes and clarifications for standards respecting “glider kits” and “glider vehicles.” A glider kit is a chassis for a tractor-trailer with a frame, front axle, interior and exterior cab, and brakes. The rule affects commercial long-haul tractor-trailers, vocational vehicles, and heavy-duty pickup trucks and vans. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration jointly published the second phase of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and fuel efficiency standards for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles and engines.

At that time, the company he worked for was listed on the stock exchange in Oslo (Enitel ASA). It’s estimated that he sold telecom agreements to businesses at an annual value of over 380 million NOK (US$ 50 mill). Suddenly his small team of 2-3 had grown to 70 commission based agents in Norway alone. Sales went from 10 million NOK to 20, then 40 and then a lot more. The management of his company couldn’t believe that he was able to obtain an order for such a big client, but selling came natural for Carlsen!įrom then on it seemed as if only the sky was the limit. He landed the agreement, his first private limited company was established, and his first customer was the Bank of Norway in Trondheim.

From there, they were engaged in planning serious crimes in association with criminals lodged in jails across India, the official said. The spokesperson said the agency has found that many criminals, who were leading gangsters in India, had fled to countries such as Pakistan, Canada, Malaysia and australia. "The spotlight on these gangs has become sharper after reports of several prisons becoming havens of the deadly nexus and hubs of gang wars, which recently resulted in violence and murder inside the Goindwal Jail and the Tihar Jail," the official said. ![]() The spokesperson said investigations have revealed that the conspiracies were being hatched in jails of different states and being executed by an organised network of operatives based abroad. These was the sixth in a series of crackdowns launched by the NIA following the registration of three cases since august last year pertaining to conspiracies related to targeted killings, terror funding of pro-Khalistan outfits, and extortion.Īmong these cases are the sensational killing of Maharashtra builder Sanjay Biyani and international kabaddi player Sandeep Nangal ambia in Punjab last year. The official said the raiding parties have seized a pistol, assorted ammunition (both live and used cartridges), 60 mobile phones, five DVRs, 20 SIM cards, a hard disk, a pen drive, a dongle, a WiFi router, a digital watch, two memory cards, 75 documents and over Rs 39.60 lakh. "The focus of today's (Wednesday) raids was on weapon suppliers, financiers, logistic providers and Hawala operators associated with the hardcore gangs working with drug smugglers and terrorists based out of other countries such as Pakistan and Canada," the spokesperson said. The NIA said the raids were aimed at breaking the terror nexus of designated terrorist Arsh Dalla, and dreaded gangsters such as Lawrence Bishnoi, Chhenu Pehalwan, Deepak Teetar, Bhupi Rana, Vikash Lagarpuriya, ashish Choudhary, Gurpreet Sekhon, Dilpreet Baba, Harsimrat Simma and Anuradha. The only difference was to be that the battery would be inside instead of out side. I also unknowingly had the paddle put in and was under the impression that it was going to be the same as the trial was. i do know, that if i would have done more research before hand, i would not have had it done. it seems more people have problems with the paddle than the leads.ĭon't know if that answers your questions, but that is my experience. One thing i have noticed from a lot of people commenting here, and other support groups i'm in, is that a lot if people had the trial with the leads, then when it came time for the implant to go in, they are putting the paddle in, without telling patients before hand, that that is what was being done. ![]() my pcp dr did an xray, and everything is still in place, so now i am going to have to have it removed. right now, along with the pain, i have constant vibrating/buzzing that goes from my lower back, down both legs. i havent even turned it in for a few months, and thought i could just leave it in, and not use it, as i do not want to go thru another surgery, nor do i want a replacement put in. when i try to charge it.i have the paddle that you place over the tells me that it cannot locate the ipg to charge it. I had significant pain relief for the first year, but then it started dropping down till i was no longer getting any pain relief. my trial was only 3 days because the programming device malfunctioned, but my dr determined that i had a successful trial and went ahead with the implant. i had it implanted june of 2015, and my pain management dr put it in. Mine is implanted above my right butt cheek, and i have the leads that are anchored mid back. ask whether you can have an actual surgeon put in the device, and ask where it will be placed). It could be helpful to those who are thinking about getting a stimulator (i.e. I'd be interested to hear the answers to these two questions from those who have had stimulators implanted, especially those who have had implantation complaints. Most pain management doctors, however, may not be trained surgeons, and that could be a factor in why folks complain of implantation problems. And the second question would be: what type of medical professional implanted it? Was it a full-time surgeon, or was it your pain management specialist? Mine was done by an actual back surgeon, mainly because the implantation of the "paddle" type of stimulator requires it (they have to break open the vertebrae to place the paddle). Seems like everyone else had theirs put in their ribcage, which seems to be related to their implantation pain. Hasn't anyone had a successful implantation, who can then answer whether the device did the job as it was intended or not?įor those people whose primary complaint was about implantation, I would ask two questions: first, what part of your body was the device placed in? Mine was placed in my buttocks and has caused no problems. That's not to diminish their sense of pain or discomfort, but those comments are not about how well the stimulator itself works as designed, it is about the unique pain of potentially bad implantation. Everyone seems focused on some aspect as to how it was placed in their body. I don't think I've read almost any comments about the functionality of the stimulator itself, meaning whether or not it actually relieves their pain. That seems to be the main complaint - that some aspect of how the doctor placed it inside their body was somehow wrong, or was done in a way that left them vulnerable to feeling pain, or to having the stimulator shift, or the leads detach, or some other malady related to implantation. Virtually everyone who complains about their stimulator is not technically complaining about the stimulator itself, their complaints seem more centered on the implantation itself. While there haven't been a large number of comments about spinal cord stimulators on here (maybe a dozen or so), but I've noticed a distinct pattern in all of the comments about these stimulators. ![]() I've been reading this message board since shortly after I got my stimulator implanted permanently. The battery is implanted in my right butt cheek. ![]() And of course at the other end the two leads are connected to my battery. I have what is called the "paddle" version of the stimulator, which means the leads that go up my spine are connected at the top to a paddle that looks somewhat like a flattened end of a spoon. I did a trial version of it for ten days about 3 months prior to the permanent implantation. I've had a Nevro spinal cord stimulator in me permanently since June 2018. ![]() First off I highly recommend reinstalling using the files available, I too had the same problem you had where it would crash when I tried to reopen it later, without further ado Follow these exact steps: Sorry John for the late response but I’ve been kind of busy so let me help you with a step by step. :: Update 4/20/20 – removed this broken link – :: If you like you can download this two-line script file that will launch iMovie HD for you (assuming it is located as /Application/iMovie HD): You’ll get a bunch of warnings about deprecated API calls that will one day be removed (meaning iMovie HD’s days are still numbered). $ /Applications/iMovie HD.app/Contents/MacOS/iMovie HD Solutionįrom the Terminal, launch iMovie HD like so: ![]() I tried running iMovie HD from the Terminal to see if I could get any details about the error, and I was pleasantly surprised at the results.

In general, players can expect to be travelling from point A to point B, finding keys, and fighting ghosts. This was heart-racing at first but repetitious a few hours in.Ĭomparatively, Maiden of Black Water is extremely linear, largely due to the short episode lengths. The gimmick brought me back to early Resident Evil games, watching doors open slowly with each room. ![]() Chances are random and slim, increasing if the player is wet. It can be dodged with proper timing and shaken off if grabbed. Speaking of scares, there is now a chance to be attacked upon picking up items. Save for making 180-degree turns, the change works well - and if anything, Maiden of Black Water is almost scarier purely because you can’t see what’s behind you. Although I’m personally fond of fixed camera angles, this game uses an over-the-shoulder perspective.

Unfortunately, these embers are somewhat rare, and getting tainted is somewhat easy. Much like poison, the player’s health will rapidly decrease until defeating the enemy or by using a purifying ember. When the gauge is full, certain ghosts can inflict a tainted status. The more players interact with water, not only do outfits become increasingly see-through, but there’s also a higher chance to be attacked by hostile spirits. Players who normally have difficulties with trick shots will find this addition incredibly handy.Īnother new mechanic is the wetness gauge (terrible name). Furthermore, ghosts will drop spirit ‘fragments’ when having their picture taken enough of these in a photo triggers a critical attack, similar to fatal frames. Combat is fluid and less clunky in this title there’s even a lock-on feature, making chasing the undead easier than ever. Letting enemies close means high-damage ‘fatal frame’ shots and consecutive snaps mean satisfying combos. Players must capture pictures of ghosts to defeat them, but it’s not as simple as just pointing and clicking.
