Papal state note
July 30th, 2010
The Papal State,Church, or Pontifical States were one of the major historical states of Italy from roughly the 6th century until the Italian peninsula was unified in 1861 by the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia after which the Papal States, in less territorially extensive form, continued to exist until 1870.
The Papal States comprised territories under direct sovereign rule of the papacy, and at its height it covered most of the modern Italian regions of Romagna, Marche, Umbria and Lazio. This governing power is commonly called the temporal power of the Pope, as opposed to his ecclesiastical primacy.

Mechanical watches - The magic and mystique

Look … It is not a verb, a noun. The clock is more accurate, of course, but the watches are cool too. You know the popular brands, but what do you think when you hear the word? No matter what comes to mind in order yours, there are a few interesting details about the watches:
The "best" of the watches are manufactured in Switzerland. How do you define "better" if? If accuracy is the main criterion, then a cheap quartz watchthis obligation is to do justice. Even the cheapest digital quartz watch is more accurate than most mechanical watches range. However, there are many things to consider, in addition to precision. However, the accuracy is not really recognizable to a day to day. Who we are able to "in the know, a wristwatch s in a few minutes a day?

NALCO to relocate its aluminium plant to Sundergarh
July 26th, 2010
NALCO has decided to relocate its proposed Rs 16,000-crore aluminium cum power complex at Sundergarh, due to environmental issues faced by it at the initial selected site in Jharsuguda district of Orissa.
NALCO is likely to submit a proposal on new location of the project to the Orissa Government shortly.
Though the company proposed to build a 0.5 million tpa aluminium smelter and a 1,260 MW captive power plant, the final project size will depend on the amount of water allotted to it. The project will require about 1,200 acre.
Shower sump; alternator; etc.
July 26th, 2010
Thursday night last week I got to the boat kind of late with all sorts of grand plans for things I could get done, and I was quickly derailed (what’s new?) by the shower sump pump. As soon as I flipped the breaker, I heard it start running, and it never stopped. Something wrong with the pressure switch, which I spent some time debugging. To make a long story short, I found that removing the tube from the base of the pressure switch and then re-attaching it resolved the issue, and then the pressure switch worked better than ever before. Of course, Friday morning I forgot to switch off the breaker like I usually do when I leave the boat, and in the evening I returned and found the pump running dry. Luckily it didn’t burn out; some more fiddling with the tubing resolved it and I haven’t seen a recurrence. Still kind of annoying.
After a hike and a swim Saturday Charlene and I returned to the boat for a BBQ and I ran the engine for a while, and in particular I played a bit with the alternator, adjusting the engine RPM and watching the alternator’s ammeter. I was a bit surprised to find the amperage topping out around 20A, reaching it around 1300 RPM and staying around 20A even up to 2200 RPM, which is as high as I went. My alternator is 105A-rated. I was also disturbed by the voltage drop from the alternator to the batteries (~14.3V at the alternator posts, but only ~13.2V at the batteries). Talking to Lee this morning, he suggested my alternator-to-battery wiring may be undersized, which I’ll check. Brian felt that my numbers didn’t actually sound so bad and that the alternator regulator was probably just in the float phase, since when I was running the engine the batteries were already around 12.5V (~85% charged). After some more pondering today I’ve decided I have better things to worry about for now and will revisit this after doing some rewiring.
I did some rough measurements of cabin volume to verify my guesstimate of ~11k BTU for air conditioning. (I was right.) However, after quoting various air conditioning options I’m thinking I may have to set that aside for now, in favor of other priorities. The cheapest options are around US$3k, sans installation, which will require a haulout.
On the upside, having a gas grill is really pretty awesome. Now I can’t wait to get a battery charger in place so I can leave my fridge on at all times at the dock, and do more cooking.
