What's coming to the old Burger King location in Mount Holly?

MOUNT HOLLY – Another former Burger King is getting new life in South Jersey, this time as a cannabis store.

Zen Leaf Dispensaries would occupy a site at the corner of High Street and the Mount Holly Bypass, across the street from a Taco Bell that's being rebuilt.

The Burger King is one of several across South Jersey that closed after the fast-food chain announced in May 2023 plans to shed more than 400 restaurants nationwide.

A former Burger King in Mount Laurel, in the Larchmont Common shopping center on Route 38, is being gutted and renovated to hold a Chipotle.

Another former Burger King is vacant at Brace Road and Haddonfield-Berlin Road in Cherry Hill.

Zen Leaf would be the fifth cannabis dispensary in Mount Holly.

The company currently has three New Jersey locations, in Elizabeth, Lawrence Township and Neptune.

What's coming there? This Taco Bell was torn down in this Burlington County town. What's coming?

Mount Holly's other dispensaries are in the downtown area on High, Mill and Washington streets. The Burger King location is on the town's outskirts near the Fairgrounds Plaza shopping center.

According to its website, Zen Leaf dispensary opened its first dispensary in Las Vegas in 2016.

It now operates across 12 states, including Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Maryland.

Transducer mount on Zodiac transom?

• Thread starter bh69
• Start date Apr 9, 2014
• Apr 9, 2014

I set the Zodiac 310s up last night to mount my fish/depth finder that I got for Christmas. My plan was to mount the transducer towards the bottom edge of the transom. However, I noticed that the fabric for the bottom of the boat wraps up and attaches to the transom (about 3 inches or so up). Right where I need to mount. Do you think it'd be okay to mount the transducer on top of the fabric, through the transom and then put silicone around it to prevent any leaking at the edges? Thanks for any advice on this.  

Supreme Mariner

Re: Transducer mount on Zodiac transom? Would preffer to mount it at a position where water does not make contact, that's to avoid drilling holes on lower transom. Is it possibel to buy a small clamp like and attach transducer at side next to engine. Happy Boating  

Petty Officer 2nd Class

Re: Transducer mount on Zodiac transom? I wouldn't worry much about putting a tiny hole in the fabric, just seal it up. Make sure to mount it on the starboard side though due to prop rotation and further away from the engine if possible for clean water...which also means a little away from the tubes. The option mentioned above is often used and works quite well. Folks set themselves up with a removable "stick" that clamps to the transom. The sonar unit is then mounted to the "stick".

Re: Transducer mount on Zodiac transom? If you use transom wheels you can even get a stick that fits in the wheel bracket so you don't have to make any additional holes in the transom. ... as a bonus, it should be as easy to remove and replace as your transom wheels  

Re: Transducer mount on Zodiac transom? Would I need to remove the unit when cruising if I used a clamp system or would it still function at speeds? Thanks again for the feedback.  

Re: Transducer mount on Zodiac transom? A clamp system would be much easier to remove if planning going at speed, assume fish finders works best at trolling speeds and probably not passing fast displacement ones ? How much water drag can a transducer produce if living bolted to lower transom ? Someone who fishes regularly with fish finders should know. Transoms are made of plywood sheets glued between them, if water gets in through not well sealed lower screws will end rotting it. Happy Boating  

Re: Transducer mount on Zodiac transom? I want my depth sounder working all the time, including at top speed. I also want my depth sounder to be working when my wheels are attached. I permanently mounted mine and have zero regrets. The stick with a couple of clamps is an option, and once you have the right height setting it would be easy to remove and install.  

Re: Transducer mount on Zodiac transom? Does a fish finder works/reads/spots whatever, wether at idle, trolling or at wot speed ? At wot speed assume will not have time to spot a small fish school, unless it's a huge one ? Happy Boating

Re: Transducer mount on Zodiac transom? They make suction cup mounts that you can actually place on the tubes I have a lowrance suction cup mount and it works very well  

Re: Transducer mount on Zodiac transom? I have to inflate my boat today to clean it. I will take a picture for you. The way it works is that you put the transducer in the suction mount and then you attach the suction mount to the tube. For me it would not stick to the transom  

Re: Transducer mount on Zodiac transom? A permanent mount could be a problem when folding the boat after deflating.  

Sinistre1 said: Did you have to put on a hard flat patch or does it hold directly to the the tube??? If so that is great. I have a couple of RAM mounts that are high vacuum suction cups but I ASSumed they wouldn't stay due to the curvature and pliable nature of the tubes. If I was not correct in my ASSumption... I spent a lot of money trying to come up with an alternate plan... and did not need to do so hence the ***-um-ption quote, lol). Does your Lowrance mount hold well under full throttle and rough seas?? Click to expand...

gotmehooked

Re: Transducer mount on Zodiac transom? I am also looking to buy a fish finder soon and am thinking of just getting a piece of aluminum or treated wood and placing it in my transon wheels bracket. I would also mount my stern light to the top of it serving two purposes.

MagSafe Monday

Magsafe monday: esr for qi2 15w magsafe car mount delivers fast charging on the go.

Oddly enough, wireless charging is one of my top use cases for MagSafe. Some of my earliest MagSafe accessories have been wireless chargers in the car. I don’t have long commutes every day, so I am frequently in and out of the car. The friction of plugging up a charger every time I got into the car was something I was happy to give up. I’ve tried various car chargers with varying degrees of success over the years, but I believe I’ve found the perfect one with the ESR for Qi2 15W MagSafe Car Mount Charger .

MagSafe Monday:  Every Monday, Bradley Chambers looks at the latest and greatest in the MagSafe and wireless charging industry to help you get the most out of your Apple devices that support wireless charging.

I’ve been a fan of ESR’s entire suite of products for a few years now. They continue to make some great Apple accessories that are extremely low cost. It might not be a brand you’ve heard of before, but trust me, they’re one of the good ones. With the company’s new MagSafe compatible car charger, you’re getting a slimmer design than the previous car charger while gaining 15 watt charging. Compared to the previous model, the newer model is dramatically slimmer, so depending on your car setup (I use the vent mount), it’ll fit flusher to your dashboard.

15 watt fast charging in the ESR for Qi2 car charger

One of the biggest enhancements to this new model is the addition of a 15-watt fast charger for iPhone. If you have a compatible iPhone, ESR estimates you’ll take it from zero to full in around 2 hours and 37 minutes (USB-C port required). If you have the ability to charge your iPhone at a 15-watt speed in the car, the E SR for Qi2 15W MagSafe Car Mount Charger is worth it for that feature alone.

MagSafe strength

I’ve never had a situation where my iPhone fell off the ESR for Qi2 15W MagSafe Car Mount Charger, as it includes some extremely strong magnets. Most of the questions I get about MagSafe in the car are about the stability of the device when going around sharp turns, etc. The ESR for Qi2 15W MagSafe Car Mount Charger includes 1,600 gf strength, so your iPhone will stay connected and secure – even running the MagSafe charging through a MagSafe compatible iPhone case .

Installation process

The ESR for Qi2 15W MagSafe Car Mount Charger comes with two installation options. You can choose a vent mount installation or a dash-mounted installation. Both will work great, but I opted for the vent mount. One of the reasons I prefer it is that it allows the air conditioner to assist with keeping the device cool in the hot summer months.

All I needed to do for the installation was to hand-tighten the vent mount to the back of the device and slide it into my car’s air vent. One of the things I appreciate about this design is the bottom of it has a stabilizer. Depending on your car, your air vent might not be strong enough to hold up your iPhone. You can brace the bottom stabilizer with the bottom of your air vent. You’ll then plug up the included USB-C cord to your car.

I am sure we’ll see some other 15-watt Qi2 chargers from different manufacturers in the coming months, but ESR absolutely knocked it out of the park. If you want to use MagSafe in the car, check out the ESR for Qi2 15W MagSafe Car Mount Charger. You can buy it from Amazon or directly from ESR .

Russian IADS Redux Part-7: The Effectors

In the next part of our series on Russia’s strategic integrated air defence system, we look at the kinetic ground-based air defence systems it deploys.

In part-6 of our series on Russia’s strategic Integrated Air Defence System (IADS) we examined the command and control architecture it depends upon. The IADS’ role is ultimately to provide a response to air threats approaching or entering Russian airspace. In Russian air defence doctrine this response is provided using kinetic and/or electronic effects.

The kinetic side of the IADS depends on the Russian Aerospace Force’s (RASF’s) fighters and Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) systems. Sources have shared with Armada that both the fighter and SAM force would be deployed in wartime to protect key Russian strategic targets. Typically, these could include politico-military targets like the Kremlin, the seat of the Russian government in Moscow. Other potential strategic targets include hardened facilities believed to be earmarked for use by the Russian leadership in wartime. One of these facilities is thought to be located at Mount Yamantau, southwest Russia. A back-up facility may exist at Mount Kosvinsky Kaman, western Russia. Russia’s industrial city of Elektrostal, on the eastern outskirts of Moscow, was one of the first locations where the RASF deployed its S-400 (NATO reporting name SA-21 Growler) high-altitude, long-range SAM systems in 2010.

The SAM Systems

Moscow itself is ring-fenced by the RASF’s 53T6 (ABM-3 Gazelle) anti-ballistic missile system. The 53T6 employs SAMs equipped with a ten kiloton (one kiloton is equal to 1,000 tonnes of conventional explosive) nuclear warhead. These missiles would detonate at altitude in proximity to incoming salvos of ballistic missile warheads or formations of hostile aircraft. The logic is that this ‘shotgun’ approach will vaporise, or at least badly damage, these targets.

The S-400 is the mainstay of the RASF SAM force. A typical S-400 battalion includes two batteries. A battery comprises between eight and twelve individual launch vehicles, each equipped with four missile tubes. Thus, an S-400 regiment could have between 56 and 84 individual missiles ready to launch if fully loaded.  Each battery has a command post, a 91N6 (Big Bird) S-band (2.3 gigahertz/GHz to 2.5GHz/2.7GHz to 3.7GHz) 324 nautical mile/nm (600 kilometre/km) range surveillance and tracking radar. The 91N6 is joined by a 96L6E (Cheese Board) C-band (5.25GHz to 5.925GHz) early warning and target acquisition radar. This radar has a range of up to 162nm (300km). A plethora of SAMs can be launched by the S-400 with an array of engagement ranges from 21.6nm (40km) using the active radar homing 9M96E missile. Engagement ranges can reach up to 216nm (400km) using the 40N6E missile which has a reported engagement altitude of 98,425 feet/ft (30,000 metres/m).

Legacy systems used by the RASF include the S-300PS (SA-10B Grumble-B) and S-300PM (SA-10D/E Grumble) which have subtle differences. An S-300PS battery has three Maz-543 launch vehicles each with four launch tubes. The battery is also equipped with a single 5N63S (Flap Lid-B) X-band (8.5GHz to 10.68GHz) fire control radar. An S-300PM battery has a single 36N6E (Flap Lid) X-band/Ku-band (13.4GHz to 14GHz/15.7GHz to 17.7GHz) fire control radar with a 162nm (300km) range. Joining the 36N6E is a 76N6 (Clam Shell) X-band (8.5GHz to 10.68GHz) search and track radar with a 70nm (120km) range. The rest of the battery is comprised of up to eight Kraz-260 launch vehicles each with four tubes. Both the S-300PS/PM are thought to deploy 48N6/E SAMs which have a reported 81nm (150km) range. The S-300PS/PM’s 5V55R missile has an engagement range of up to 48.6nm (90km).

Sources have shared with Armada that RASF SAM batteries are not routinely deployed but may deploy from time-to-time to support exercises or training. The batteries would only be deployed in anger to protect key strategic targets like those discussed above. The sources continued that the task of the SAM units is to provide a protective ‘bubble’ above these targets. Air defence coverage up to 54 nautical miles/nm (100 kilometres/km) altitude and a range radius of 189nm (350km) around the target would be provided. The SAM units would work to attrit any incoming air attack as much as possible. Russian air defence doctrine focuses on safeguarding as many strategic targets as possible in anticipation of an eventual counterattack.

One crucial part of the RASF’s SAM force is its 96K6 Pantsir-S1 (SA-22 Greyhound) combined medium-range SAM and anti-aircraft artillery systems. 96K6 units would deploy with S-300 and S-400 batteries. Their role would be to destroy air-launched weapons like anti-radiation missiles or attack helicopters engaging the batteries Armada’s sources added.

Over the longer term, the RASF is looking to introduce new SAM systems to enhance the strategic IADS in the form of the S-350E and S-500 Prometey long-range, high-altitude SAM systems. The S-350E is mooted as a replacement for the RASF’s S-300PS/PM batteries. Open sources state that a S-350E battery has one 50N6A X-band ground-based air surveillance radar with a range of 215nm (400km). The 50N6A is joined by a single 50K6A mobile command post and up to eight 50P6 launch vehicles. Each launch vehicle can fire 9M96/E or 9M100 SAMs with engagement ranges and altitudes of up to 65nm (120km) and 98,000ft (30,000m) respectively. It was reported in January 2020 that the first S-350E battery had entered service, although a developmental system may have been deployed to support Russia’s military presence in Syria. The VKS could receive twelve S-350E batteries by 2027.

The S-500 is mooted to have a longer engagement range than the S-350E. The S-500 ensemble includes a 91N6A(M) air surveillance and battle management radar. This radar is an enhanced version of the 91N6A radar accompanying the S-400. The S-500’s 96L6TSP target acquisition radar is an enhanced variant of the S-400’s 96L6E. These two systems are accompanied by the 76T6 multimode fire control radar, itself thought to be a derivative of the 92N6. Also forming part of the S-500 ensemble is the 77T6 anti-ballistic missile engagement radar the capabilities of which remain largely unknown in the public domain.

Open sources say that missiles equipping the S-500 could hit targets at ranges of up to 270nm (500km). Russian sources have claimed that the S-500 could engage targets at up to 656,168ft (200,000m) altitude. Russian media, seldom the most reliable source, claim that the first S-500 regiment went on combat duty in October 2021.

The long-term prognosis for the S-500 and S-350E systems remains uncertain. As documented by the Royal United Services Institute, a London-based thinktank, the Russian defence industry is dependent on clandestinely-sourced Western microelectronics for sophisticated weapons systems. Will Western efforts to clamp down on Russia’s access to such technology have an impact on the fortunes of the S-350E and S-500?

Russia Maps Show 25% of Moscow Without Power Amid Winter Freeze 'Emergency'

R ussian President Vladimir Putin has ordered the nationalization of an ammunition plant in Moscow after a mechanical failure caused tens of thousands of Muscovites to lose heat and water amid freezing temperatures beginning last week.

On January 4, a heating main burst at the Klimovsk Specialized Ammunition Plant in the town of Podolsk, which is around 30 miles south of central Moscow. Since then, tens of thousands of Russians are reported to have no heating in their homes in the Moscow region amid subzero temperatures.

Affected areas include the cities of Khimki, Balashikha, Lobnya, Lyubertsy, Podolsk, Chekhov, Naro-Fominsk, and Podolsk, a map published by a Russian Telegram channel and shared on other social media sites shows.

Other Russian media outlets reported that in Moscow, residents of Balashikha, Elektrostal, Solnechnogorsk, Dmitrov, Domodedovo, Troitsk, Taldom, Orekhovo-Zuyevo, Krasnogorsk, Pushkino, Ramenskoye, Voskresensk, Losino-Petrovsky, and Selyatino are also without power.

That means that in total, more than a quarter of Moscow's cities have been hit with power outages and a lack of heating.

Newsweek has contacted Russia's Foreign Ministry for comment via email.

Many residents have taken to publishing video appeals on social media to complain about their freezing conditions. In one clip, people living in Moscow say that they are left with no choice but to warm their homes with gas stoves, heaters, and "whatever else we can find." Others said they are lighting fires in the streets to keep warm.

Andrei Vorobyov, governor of the Moscow region, announced on Tuesday that Putin ordered the ammunition plant to be nationalized because two of its owners have been "located abroad." He didn't name the individuals.

"We received the right to take control of this boiler house within the framework of an emergency," Vorobiev said, adding that the plant's boiler room was managed "very poorly" and there was "virtually no qualified competent personnel."

Russia's Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case over Klimovsk Specialized Ammunition Plant not meeting safety requirements.

On Tuesday, the committee said that because of the incident, the deputy head of Podolsk's administration, the head of the plant's boiler house, and the general director of the ammunition plant had been detained.

Residents of Selyatino have described the situation as "some kind of struggle for survival," Russian Telegram channel ASTRA reported.

Power outages have also struck St. Petersburg, Rostov, Volgograd, Voronezh, Primorsky Territory, and Yekaterinburg.

For the first time Rosatom Fuel Division supplied fresh nuclear fuel to the world’s only floating nuclear cogeneration plant in the Arctic

The fuel was supplied to the northernmost town of Russia along the Northern Sea Route.

The first in the history of the power plant refueling, that is, the replacement of spent nuclear fuel with fresh one, is planned to begin before 2024. The manufacturer of nuclear fuel for all Russian nuclear icebreakers, as well as the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, is Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC), a company of Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL that is based in Elektrostal, Moscow Region.

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactors of the icebreaking type. Unlike convenient ground-based large reactors (that require partial replacement of fuel rods once every 12-18 months), in the case of these reactors, the refueling takes place once every few years and includes unloading of the entire reactor core and loading of fresh fuel into the reactor.

The cores of KLT-40 reactors of the Akademik Lomonosov floating power unit have a number of advantages compared to the reference ones: a cassette core was used for the first time in the history of the unit, which made it possible to increase the fuel energy resource to 3-3.5 years between refuelings, and also reduce the fuel component of the electricity cost by one and a half times. The FNPP operating experience formed the basis for the designs of reactors for nuclear icebreakers of the newest series 22220. Three such icebreakers have been launched by now.

For the first time the power units of the Akademik Lomonosov floating nuclear power plant were connected to the grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020. The supply of nuclear fuel from Elektrostal to Pevek and its loading into the second reactor is planned for 2024. The total power of the Akademik Lomonosov FNPP, supplied to the coastal grid of Pevek without thermal energy consumption on shore, is about 76 MW, being about 44 MW in the maximum thermal power supply mode. The FNPP generated 194 million kWh according to the results of 2023. The population of Pevek is just a little more than 4 thousand, while the FNPP has a potential for supplying electricity to a city with a population of up to 100 thousand people. After the FNPP commissioning two goals were achieved. These include first of all the replacement of the retiring capacities of the Bilibino NPP, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya TPP, which has already been operating for more than 70 years. Secondly, energy is supplied to the main mining companies in western Chukotka in the Chaun-Bilibino energy hub a large ore and metal cluster, including gold mining companies and projects related to the development of the Baimsk ore zone. In September 2023, a 110 kilovolt power transmission line with a length of 490 kilometers was put into operation, connecting the towns of Pevek and Bilibino. The line increased the reliability of energy supply from the FNPP to both Bilibino consumers and mining companies, the largest of which is the Baimsky GOK. The comprehensive development of the Russian Arctic is a national strategic priority. To increase the NSR traffic is of paramount importance for accomplishment of the tasks set in the field of cargo shipping. This logistics corridor is being developed due regular freight voyages, construction of new nuclear-powered icebreakers and modernization of the relevant infrastructure. Rosatom companies are actively involved in this work. Rosatom Fuel Company TVEL (Rosatom Fuel Division) includes companies fabricating nuclear fuel, converting and enriching uranium, manufacturing gas centrifuges, conducting researches and producing designs. As the only nuclear fuel supplier to Russian NPPs, TVEL supplies fuel for a total of 75 power reactors in 15 countries, for research reactors in nine countries, as well as for propulsion reactors of the Russian nuclear fleet. Every sixth power reactor in the world runs on TVEL fuel. Rosatom Fuel Division is the world’s largest producer of enriched uranium and the leader on the global stable isotope market. The Fuel Division is actively developing new businesses in chemistry, metallurgy, energy storage technologies, 3D printing, digital products, and decommissioning of nuclear facilities. TVEL also includes Rosatom integrators for additive technologies and electricity storage systems. Rosenergoatom, Joint-Stock Company is part of Rosatom Electric Power Division and one of the largest companies in the industry acting as an operator of nuclear power plants. It includes, as its branches, 11 operating NPPs, including the FNPP, the Scientific and Technical Center for Emergency Operations at NPPs, Design and Engineering as well as Technological companies. In total, 37 power units with a total installed capacity of over 29.5 GW are in operation at 11 nuclear power plants in Russia. Machinery Manufacturing Plant, Joint-Stock Company (MSZ JSC, Elektrostal) is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of fuel for nuclear power plants. The company produces fuel assemblies for VVER-440, VVER-1000, RBMK-1000, BN-600,800, VK-50, EGP-6; powders and fuel pellets intended for supply to foreign customers. It also produces nuclear fuel for research reactors. The plant belongs to the TVEL Fuel Company of Rosatom.
