WIP Wednesday: Custos Custodium

This week, the Neuromancer influences get dialed up (briefly) as Jensen visits the Red Light district. Then it gets kind of Warhammer 40K: I had to resist having Allison say, "From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me," and so forth. Attain the strength and certainty of steel for yourself here.

The holographic crimson strippers lining the cobbled streets made for a lurid welcoming committee to the Red Light District. They gyrated obscenely in mid-air, some dancing without props, some working an insubstantial pole, beckoning and blowing kisses as their sensors picked up passers-by. Jensen sniffed. Tourist stuff, and to someone who’d seen the holo setup underneath Picus’ Montreal headquarters, little better than a low-res Playboy pinup downloaded one pixel at a time over shrieking nineties dial-up.

The Red Queen dominated the District’s central plaza, its décor a panoply of playing cards. Real women and men twirled and beckoned in the second-floor windows. One twitched her curtains closed as he watched, a moment after he saw the door behind her emit a sliver of light. He bypassed it and made a beeline for the comparatively tame signage of the Irish Stool.

Inside, it was blessedly quiet, the thumping bass of the clubs muted by thick glass windows. The patrons here knew what they liked, and what they liked was a beer and a bit of elbow room. Authentic indeed. He’d have to come by some time when he wasn’t working a case. Idly, he wondered whether they shipped in a morose fiddler, too, to complete the ambiance, then spotted a stool and a mic stand in the corner. He must have missed live music night. And maybe Stanek, too—no sign of him on the ground floor. He headed downstairs.

The cavernous basement area was even quieter. Jensen looked around and spotted Stanek at once, nursing a pint at a two-top. Montañez slouched at the table nearest the stairs, ass hooked on the edge of a seat, and Riley sketched a salute from the bar itself. Jensen nodded to him and bumped elbows with Montañez as he strolled past. Riley was pretending to drink something red. Jensen appropriated it ruthlessly and plopped down at Stanek’s table.

The watchmaker’s face brightened as he sat, then closed, then grew curious. “Na někoho čekám,” he said. “I’m expecting someone… Wait a minute. I know you. You’ve been in my shop. What’s going on?”

“You have some things to answer for, Mister Stanek. We have evidence linking you and your shop to the train station bombing.”

“Bombing…? No! I would never—I wouldn’t even know where to start! You have the wrong man. And I don’t have a staff. It’s only a small shop, you know that, don’t you, Mister… Jensen, right?”

“Yes, that’s right. Think, Mister Stanek. Is there anyone else who would have access to your shop? Or your tools, or components?”

Stanek shook his head slowly. “No… no, there is only me and my—” He cut himself off abruptly.

“Your daughter?”

“No! No, not—” Creeping horror gave way to determination on his square face, his eyebrows meeting over his nose and his jaw setting. “Look, take me in. I am the one you are looking for. I—I have made bombs for them.”

“Uh-huh.”

“They tricked me!” Stanek improvised, transparently. “They had me make the timers, but they never told me what they were for!”

“I don’t think so. Protecting your daughter is admirable, Mister Stanek. But you’re not doing her any good by taking the blame. You need to tell me what you know. That’s the only way to help her.”

Stanek held out for another moment, then sighed heavily and took a drink. “You are right, I know. Allison was in the military. She always wanted to belong, to be part of something greater than herself. She was such a beautiful child. Gifted.” He paused in reminiscence.

“What happened?” Jensen prompted.

“After the Incident, she met… some people. They said they were her friends, but I could see they only wanted to use her. Parasites!” he snarled abruptly. “And now—now they have taken her. You must help! She is not to blame for this. She has been coerced!”

“Calm down. I hear you. What do you mean, they’ve taken her?”

“I invited her here tonight, to try to make her see reason. But one of them came by instead, spewing curses about ‘Fleshers’ and ‘Naturals.’ He—he gave me a message from her. She was saying goodbye,” he said, in a very small voice. Then he shook himself. “But she would never leave me all alone! They used her, and now they intend to make her disappear!”

“Who are they, these people?”

“Eh, I don’t know, other than they were Augmented. Not like you, though—zealots. Fire in their eyes. They kept talking about ‘the Ascension,’ whatever that is.”

Definitely Machine Cultists. They had a church in Překážka. He could start there. “Does Allison have the expertise to do something like this?”

Stanek hung his head. “Much more than I do. In the military, she was with Pyrotechnici, eh, bomb… people.”

“Bomb squad? Explosive Ordnance Disposal?”

“Yes, yes. She was happy there. They rebuilt her, after the accident. Rebuilt her to make her better at what she did. But when the Incident happened, she was sent away, dismissed without honor. She was lost.”

“And these friends found her.”

“Bah! They exploited her, and now they plan to discard her.”

Jensen drained his glass and stood, signaling the other agents. “Thank you, Mister Stanek. I’m afraid I have bad news. Your apartment was trapped by the Dvali. Did you owe them protection money?”

“Who, Radich? Mister Nikoladze? No, no—I make him watches, for a discount. After what happened to Allison, Radich knew I needed money. And I think he liked to have the exclusive arrangement. He likes to control things, people. But if someone made him a better offer… Friendship means nothing to a thug.”

“I see. Well, you’ll have to go with these agents for now. For your own protection, and they’ll have some more questions for you.” Montañez and Riley sidled up.

Stanek looked around wildly. “No! I have to go—I have to help her! She’s all I have!” The agents put their hands on his shoulders, though, and he wilted. As they led him away up the stairs, he implored Jensen in a fierce and desperate undertone, “Find my daughter, or I will!”

Jensen paid Stanek’s tab. He figured it was the least he could do.

Doctor Who: Boom (14x03)

I regret to inform you that this was a very good episode of Doctor Who. Fucking Moffat, knock it off with being an occasionally very good writer. I hate this dude.

Cons:

I thought the romance arc between Mundy and the random dude whose name I can't remember was probably the least memorable part of the episode? It just felt a little flat and proscribed, and it fell into some cliche writing tropes. Why is it always that an oblivious woman is being pined after by her long-suffering martyr of a best friend? It's giving Rory and Amy, it's giving... Joss Whedon. I don't know. I didn't hate this, but it didn't add a ton to the story, it almost felt like more of a distraction to the core relationships that we should have been focusing on.

This was the most I've enjoyed Ruby and the Doctor's relationship on the show yet, but there was this one moment that I had a problem with in the writing. The Doctor is calling out to a dying Ruby and basically says "I need to talk out loud in order to think, and you're the only person I can talk to." I think I get what the goal was here, but it read a little strange to me. Because the point of the Doctor is kind of that he can make friends with most people, isn't it? He finds the connection, and the adventurous spirit, and the bravery, in all sorts of people he comes across. We even see him forming connections with the other people he's meeting in this very episode. So I do wish the sentiment had been adjusted just slightly. Ruby shouldn't be valued and loved simply because she is uniquely able to provide the Doctor with companionship. You know?

I thought the resolution felt a little rushed, with the father's love saving the day. Very sweet or what have you, but I could have used a bit more build-up to it? As is Moffat's MO both as a writer and as a show-runner, he's always better at the setup than he is at the payoff.

Pros:

I think when Doctor Who is at its very best, it takes a simple concept, a small group of people, and it plays out the complications of the scenario over the course of the hour. This was an episode with a small core cast, basically only one setting with just a few cut-aways to the camp where the soldiers were staying, and there's a pretty simple problem to solve: the Doctor is standing on a landmine. If it goes off, because of his special Time Lord-y-ness, he could blow up half the planet they're on. So the stakes are higher than simply the Doctor's life, and they're on a timer.

And from there it's really just a lot of intense stakes-raising, alarming moments of tension as the Doctor tries to keep his emotional reaction to a minimum so as not to trip the sensor. I loved the scene when the Doctor is begging Ruby to back away and she's insisting on staying close to help. Great relationship building, great classic rapport between the Doctor and his companion. She's brave, he's worried about her, but together they thwart catastrophe.

As is often true with this show, and with sci-fi more in general, this episode has some not so subtle political messages baked into it. I think it was brilliantly and disturbingly done, showing us first the soldiers and the way their lives hang in a delicate balance, then starting to learn about the for-profit model of this weapons manufacture, and then the gradual and chilling revelation that these people are not at war with anyone at all. It's an empty planet, and they're fighting nothing, letting themselves be killed for the benefit of a corporation running on auto-pilot designed to maximize profits. Yeesh. That's a thought, isn't it.

There's also the lovely detail that all of the soldiers are part of the church. Ruby talks about how strange this is, and the Doctor points out that the military and the church are usually hand in hand, and that her current reality is really just a blip in the pattern.

The gasp-out-loud moment of this episode is of course when Ruby gets shot. I love the way the scenario is set up here, where Ruby is going to shoot Mundy with her consent, in order to draw the ambulance's attention away from the Doctor, but Mundy's love interest dude sees Ruby pointing a gun at her and misinterprets. And then the Doctor, forced for the sake of this whole planet to stay frozen in place and just watch it happen... great face acting from Gatwa here as he reacts with horror while simultaneously trying to tamp down on his reaction.

This was a good episode, with a lot of good moments. I think tamping down into a more tragic story allowed for the Doctor and Ruby to have some exchanges that didn't feel so... manic, the way the first two episodes were? And that was a big help to make them feel like they have a more grounded relationship. Ruby begging to know her next of kin in the final moments of her life is going to haunt me, that was so tragic! And while maybe a little bit trite, the father's love saving the day thing did still work okay for me, all things told.

I'm hoping we can get some motion on the Ruby mystery in the coming weeks, and hopefully preserve a bit more of the naturalistic bond between our main characters as we move forward.

At Ascomp Inc, we supply advanced solder paste mixers designed to meet the needs of Indian electronics manufacturers, labs, and assembly lines.

What is a Solder Paste Mixer?

A solder paste mixer is a machine that evenly blends solder paste before it’s used in the stencil printing or dispensing process. Solder paste contains a mixture of tiny solder particles and flux. Over time, this mixture can separate or settle due to storage or temperature variations. Manual stirring often introduces air bubbles or inconsistencies.

A solder paste mixer in India from Ascomp Inc ensures:

Uniform texture and viscosity

Proper redistribution of flux and metal particles

No air entrapment

Reduced paste waste

Reliable printing and soldering outcomes

Key Features of Ascomp Inc’s Solder Paste Mixers

LED and sensor manufacturing

Repair and reballing stations

Defense, aerospace, and telecom equipment production

Whether you’re running a high-speed production line or a prototyping facility, consistent solder paste quality is essential—and our mixers deliver just that.

Why Solder Paste Mixing Matters

Without proper mixing, solder paste can:

Create printing inconsistencies

Cause bridging, tombstoning, or cold joints

Increase reflow defects

Compromise joint strength and conductivity

Shorten stencil life due to clogging or paste slumping

Using a solder paste mixer in India is not just about convenience—it’s about ensuring reliability in every PCB you produce.

Sprinkler Irrigation Valves: The Essential Guide to Efficient Water Control

Introduction

A well-designed sprinkler irrigation system ensures optimal water distribution for lawns, gardens, and agricultural fields. The efficiency of these systems depends on high-quality sprinkler irrigation parts, which include nozzles, valves, pipes, and controllers. Understanding these components helps in maintaining an effective watering setup, reducing water waste, and promoting healthy plant growth.

This guide explores the key sprinkler irrigation parts, their functions, and how to choose the right components for different applications.

1. Sprinkler Heads: The Core of Water Distribution

Sprinkler heads are crucial in determining how water is dispersed across an area. They come in various types, each suited for specific needs:

Rotary Sprinkler Heads – Ideal for large areas, these rotate to distribute water in a circular pattern.

Fixed Spray Heads – Best for small lawns, they spray water in a fixed pattern.

Pop-Up Sprinklers – Retract when not in use, preventing damage from lawn mowers.

Choosing the right sprinkler head ensures even water coverage and prevents dry spots or overwatering.

2. Valves: Controlling Water Flow

Sprinkler valves regulate water flow to different zones in an irrigation system. Key types include:

Solenoid Valves – Electrically controlled, allowing automated watering schedules.

Manual Valves – Require manual adjustment but are cost-effective.

Anti-Siphon Valves – Prevent backflow, protecting water quality.

Proper valve selection prevents leaks and ensures efficient water distribution.

3. Pipes and Tubing: Delivering Water Efficiently

The backbone of any sprinkler irrigation system is its piping. Common materials include:

PVC Pipes – Durable and resistant to corrosion, ideal for underground systems.

Polyethylene Tubing – Flexible and easy to install, often used in drip irrigation.

Galvanized Steel Pipes – Strong but prone to rust over time.

Selecting the right pipe material ensures longevity and reduces maintenance costs.

4. Controllers and Timers: Automating Irrigation

Modern sprinkler irrigation systems rely on controllers to automate watering schedules. Features to consider:

Smart Controllers – Adjust watering based on weather conditions.

Basic Timers – Simple programmable settings for consistent watering.

Wi-Fi Enabled Models – Allow remote control via smartphone apps.

Automation saves water and ensures plants receive consistent moisture.

5. Nozzles and Filters: Optimizing Water Output

Sprinkler nozzles determine spray pattern and flow rate. Common options:

Full Circle Nozzles – Cover 360 degrees for broad areas.

Adjustable Nozzles – Customize spray distance and angle.

Pressure-Regulating Nozzles – Maintain consistent water pressure.

Additionally, filters prevent clogging by removing debris from the water supply.

6. Backflow Preventers: Protecting Water Quality

A backflow preventer stops contaminated water from flowing back into the main supply. Types include:

Pressure Vacuum Breakers (PVB) – Suitable for residential systems.

Reduced Pressure Zone (RPZ) Valves – Used in commercial setups.

Installing a backflow preventer is essential for health and safety compliance.

7. Pressure Regulators: Maintaining Consistent Flow

Water pressure fluctuations can damage sprinkler irrigation parts. Pressure regulators stabilize flow by:

Preventing pipe bursts from high pressure.

Ensuring even water distribution across all sprinkler heads.

A well-regulated system improves efficiency and extends component lifespan.

8. Couplings and Fittings: Ensuring Secure Connections

Leaks often occur at connection points. High-quality couplings and fittings help by:

Providing tight seals between pipes and valves.

Allowing easy repairs and modifications.

Using corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., brass or stainless steel) enhances durability.

9.��Rain Sensors: Preventing Overwatering

Rain sensors automatically shut off the system during rainfall, conserving water. Benefits include:

Lower water bills.

Reduced risk of plant diseases from excessive moisture.

Wireless and wired models are available for different setups.

10. Maintenance Tips for Longevity

To keep sprinkler irrigation parts functioning optimally:

Inspect Sprinkler Heads – Clean clogged nozzles and adjust misaligned heads.

Check for Leaks – Repair damaged pipes or valves promptly.

Winterize the System – Drain water to prevent freezing damage.

Regular maintenance ensures efficient performance year-round.

Conclusion

A reliable sprinkler irrigation system depends on selecting the right sprinkler irrigation parts and maintaining them properly. From sprinkler heads to controllers, each component plays a vital role in water efficiency. By understanding these parts, users can optimize their irrigation setup, conserve water, and promote healthier landscapes.

Investing in high-quality sprinkler irrigation parts ensures long-term savings and sustainable watering practices. Whether for residential lawns or large farms, the right components make all the difference.

Struggling with Water Restrictions? Could Drip Irrigation Help?

Melbourne’s weather can be unpredictable, and with increasing pressure on water conservation, more homeowners are turning to smart gardening solutions. One such method growing in popularity is drip irrigation Melbourne, a precise watering system designed to deliver water directly to plant roots while minimising wastage. Whether you’ve got a sprawling backyard or a small veggie patch, drip irrigation can help maintain healthy, thriving plants even through dry spells.

Why Drip Irrigation is Ideal for Melbourne Conditions

Drip irrigation works wonders in regions like Melbourne where rainfall can vary greatly from season to season. Unlike overhead sprinklers, which often waste water through evaporation or runoff, this system distributes moisture exactly where it’s needed—at the base of each plant. This means your garden gets consistent hydration, even during hot, windy days that typically dry out soil surfaces quickly.

Save Time, Water and Money with Smart Watering

One of the biggest advantages of a drip irrigation system is its water efficiency. By avoiding over-watering and runoff, you're not only reducing your water usage but also cutting down on your monthly bills. Many systems can be paired with timers or moisture sensors, automating the process and freeing up your time. For busy Melbourne residents, that’s a huge win. Whether you’re a seasoned green thumb or just starting out, installing a drip irrigation Melbourne system makes maintaining a lush garden easier and more cost-effective.

Low Maintenance, Long-Term Benefits

Although drip systems may sound complex, they’re actually quite simple to maintain. A quick seasonal check for clogged emitters and regular line flushing is usually all it takes. Once set up correctly, you’ll notice better plant health, fewer weeds, and more efficient use of resources—all without dragging around a hose or worrying about Melbourne’s water restrictions.

Get Started with the Right Experts

If you're ready to make the switch, it’s worth speaking to professionals who can tailor a system to your garden’s specific needs. For expert advice and quality installation services, consider working with MVW Services. Their team understands Melbourne’s unique climate and can help you choose a drip irrigation setup that keeps your garden green while conserving water the smart way.

Skylights are no longer just an addition to your home; they’ve become a statement piece, transforming any space with natural light and unique design elements. Whether you’re looking to update your current setup or start fresh, staying on top of the latest skylight trends can enhance your home's aesthetics. In this article, we’ll walk you through the newest trends in skylight design.

Smart Skylights

One of the biggest trends in skylight design is integrating technology, and smart skylights are leading the way. These advanced skylights can be controlled through your smartphone, allowing you to adjust brightness and ventilation or set timers for opening and closing. Imagine letting in a gentle breeze on a warm day or closing your skylights remotely during an unexpected rainstorm. Smart skylights also come with built-in rain sensors, ensuring your home stays protected even when you're not around.

Energy-Efficient Skylights 

As energy efficiency becomes a priority for many people, energy-efficient skylights have emerged as a top trend. These skylights are designed with insulated glass, low-E coatings, and sometimes even built-in solar panels to reduce energy consumption. They help regulate your home’s temperature by minimizing heat gain in the summer and retaining warmth during winter, which means lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint.

Flat and Minimalistic Skylights 

Gone are the days of bulky skylights that stick out like a sore thumb. Today’s trend is all about sleek, flat skylights that blend seamlessly into your roofline. These low-profile skylights provide an uninterrupted view of the sky and flood your space with natural light, all while maintaining a modern, minimalist appearance. The frameless look creates a more open and airy feel, making them perfect for contemporary homes.

Multi-Skylight Arrays 

Why settle for one skylight when you can have multiple? Multi-skylight arrays are becoming increasingly popular, especially in large open spaces like living rooms or kitchens. Installing several skylights in a grid or row creates a striking visual impact while allowing even more light to enter your space. This trend brightens your home and adds a touch of luxury and sophistication.

Tubular Skylights 

Not every room has the space for a full-sized skylight, which is where tubular skylights come in. These compact skylights are designed to capture sunlight through a dome on the roof and channel it into your home through a reflective tube. Tubular skylights are perfect for hallways, closets, bathrooms, or any area that could use a little extra light but doesn’t have room for a traditional skylight.

Ventilating Skylights 

While skylights are often associated with lighting, another popular trend is adding ventilation features. Ventilating skylights can be opened to let fresh air into your home, making them perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, or any space prone to humidity. They enhance air circulation, reduce moisture buildup, and create a more comfortable living environment.

Solar-Powered Skylights 

Solar-powered skylights are not only energy-efficient but also incredibly convenient. These skylights use solar energy, meaning you won’t have to worry about wiring or batteries. They come equipped with remote controls and can often be paired with smart home systems for easy operation. Solar-powered skylights are an excellent option for eco-conscious homeowners who want to reduce their energy bills while enjoying the benefits of natural light.

Skylights with Built-in Blinds

This trend allows you to adjust the brightness to your liking, whether blocking out the sun on a hot day or letting in just the right amount of light for your morning coffee. These blinds can be operated manually or via remote control, giving you full control over your skylight’s function.

Colored and Patterned Glass Skylights
