Will the next iPhone charge wirelessly?
Your browser does not support the video tag.
You may never have to plug in your iPhone again.
Apple has joined an industry group devoted to wireless charging, strengthening existing rumors that the next iPhone will charge without a cord. The Wireless Power Consortium, which is made up of some 200 organizations that promote a single wireless charging standard, confirmed to CNNTech that Apple joined the group last week.
IPhone rumors swirl months before each new version is announced, and hype around the so-called 'iPhone 8" is particularly high: Apple (AAPL, Tech30) is expected to unveil a major redesign of the this fall to mark the 10-year anniversary of the smartphone.
The company has already shown interest in doing away with cumbersome cords. The Apple Watch charges wirelessly, provided consumers spend $79 on a magnetic charging dock. And the latest MacBook now comes with only one USB port.
Apple would also create another iPhone revenue stream by selling a wireless charging station separately. The feature would simplify charging for smartphone owners. Rather than plugging in one's phone, a user would only need to place it on the charging dock.
Apple said in a statement Monday it was joining the Wireless Power Consortium to contribute its ideas as wireless charging standards are developed.
As for the speculated possible features of the next iPhone, other rumors include an edge-to-edge display, a glass body and the removal of the home button.

Welcome to the Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with special guest Stesha Blookhart from the River Falls, Wisconsin. You can view her wonderful creations at her blog, Stampin Hoot
I decided on the below project as love the quick and easy watercolour background technique - I tend to "overthink" when I am using an aqua painter to create a background, but this technique works for me even though I am not in total control hahaha! I think it's because you get you achieve a beautifully random background so quickly - no time to think about it!
I used a combination of Bermuda Bay and Marina Mist on Shimmery White cardstock using a small piece of Window Sheet, and in the process noticed that when the colours blended there was a hint of purple! So on some scrap I played a bit more and added some perfect Plum - I used this to die cut the swirls and snowflakes.
Next was to create the little tag for my box of sweets, I added layers of Perfect Plum and Bermuda bay to the tag to match the card, then decorated with more die cuts. Clear Tiny Treat Boxes are perfect for small gifts, they are so easy to make. Silver Metallic Edge ribbon was a great accompaniment for this project, and I must say I am rather proud of my bow, maybe I am overcoming my bow fear hahaha! I attached the mini tag using Silver Thread.
Be sure you hop all the way around our Crazy Crafters hop and see all the incredible creations, and if you have a chance please leave a comment, we love receiving comments!

Fr. Tom Peyton during the Birthday Celebrations
Fr. Tom Peyton MM, the veteran Maryknoll Missionary in Hong Kong, Celebrated his 79 birthday on 19 September 2010. Fr. Peyton is a long time friend and patron of Claretians in Hong Kong. In 2007 when Fr. Jojo began his Cantonese studies and later when Frs. Jose and Ezakias came to Hong Kong for their language studies, Fr. Peyton graciously accepted the priests to his parish, providing them with residence.
Fr. Tom with the Claretians and his Friends
Fr. Tom has spent about 30 years of his priestly life in Hong Kong, expending every bit of his time and energy for bringing the Good News of the Lord to the people of God. Now, at the age of 79, besides being In-Charge of the Maryknoll School at Ngau Tau Kok, Fr. Tom continues his active service in the Diocese of Hong Kong as the Parish priest of Christ the Worker Parish and the prison chaplain of Tai Lam Centre for Women and Correctional Institution. He is also associated with the treatment and rehabilitation project for the Leprosy affected in the Mainland China.
Birthday Dinner
Fr. Tom has been a strong promoter of the Christian Community Bible and the Daily Gospels in Hong Kong and China. Every year Fr. Tom distributes a couple of thousands of Daily Gospel to the faithful in China and also among the prisoners in Hong Kong.
Fr. Rossa presents a copy of the
Bible Diary 2011 to Fr. Tom
He is also in the process of forming lay leaders who would in turn teach the faithful how to use the Chinese Daily Gospel. Macau Bulletin wishes a blessed new year to Fr. Tom Peyton.
61st China National Day Celebrated
The National Day marks the start of one of the two Golden Weeks in the PRC. However, there have been some recent controversies over whether Golden Weeks should be kept.
The National Day is celebrated throughout mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau with a variety of government-organised festivities, including fireworks and concerts. Public places, such as Tiananmen Square in Beijing, are decorated in a festive theme. Portraits of revered leaders, such as Sun Yat-sen, are publicly displayed
A fireworks display is usually held nationwide in all cities, including Hong Kong, where a fireworks display to celebrate the National Day of the People's Republic of China has been held since 1997 at Victoria Harbour in the evening.

Research shows that many children who consistently attend Sunday school at conservative, Bible-believing churches start disbelieving the Bible during 5th and 6th grade! Public schools and secular media teach them that evolution is true and God's Word is a myth, that school teachers are right but Sunday school teachers are wrong. This exciting curriculum kit is both evangelistic and discipleship-driven. It helps give middleschoolers the "want to" to live like the Bible matters!
Answers Bible Curriculum is a full-featured, chronological, 3-year Sunday school program, synchronized across seven age groups from pre-K through adults. Each group covers Genesis through Revelation and learns the same material—but at different levels of depth—enabling exciting and easy discussion for the entire family! AnswersBibleCurriculum.com
Answers in Genesis is an apologetics ministry, dedicated to helping Christians defend their faith and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

It's often tough to grab the phone and look into a beloved pet's eyes as you are about to close the door on them to head to work. More than half of all households in the United States include a pet. About 84.6 million households or 68% of all American homes include at least one pet according to the latest data from the American Pet Product Association's National Pet Owner Survey.
Fortunately for pet owners more companies are adopting pet-friendly workplace programs, allowing pets to tag along when their best friend leaves for work each day.
There are business building reasons why companies are increasingly allowing their employees to bring their pets to work. Research reveals pet-friendly workplaces can reduce stress, increase productivity, build collaboration, decrease absenteeism and boost recruiting and more.
Some of the best known brands on the business landscape offer pet-friendly workplaces and other pet-related perks including Google, Mars, Salesforce, Build-A-Bear Workshop and Purina. I've been fortunate to work in two business workplaces where pets were encouraged to be part of the team.
An estimated 7 to 11 percent of U.S. pet owners are allowed to bring their pets to the job. Many more have an opportunity one week a year every June. The entire week leading up to Take Your Dog To Work Day® is Take Your Pet To Work Week® which is June 18-21, 2018. Businesses interested in participating in Take Your Pet To Work Week® can download a free toolkit at petsit.com/toolkit.

... For December Daily.
December 12
It's 11:10 pm, we are all upstairs.. doing our own thing (just the way I like it). Izzy and I are getting crafty, I started (it's about time) my December Daily album for 2015 and Izzy's finally painting the Christmas crafts we got last week.
Craft Time.
I realize, I need it. It's as simple as saying, it's really a part of me, much like people need a vacation after months of working so hard, I need to craft (freely) aside from the school work to be at peace with myself. As I sit here gathering my photos for December (not a lot) I'm thinking how much I haven't been recording my family as much as I used to. Sure I can use the lame excuse of having no time.. but I carry a phone that takes photos, so there is literally no excuse. I used to record and capture our lives pretty good, with lots of photos and stories, and I really miss that. I will try harder, I need to try harder, now more than ever to capture our lives. I love looking back and reading about our experiences and moments that I have forgotten. It means so much to me, I need to reassess, to step back and make some changes.

HomeTalk.com & LampsPlus.com Holiday Lamp Challenge by GadgetSponge.comNovember 4th, 2013 in member junk
I just recently participated in a lamp challenge hosted by HomeTalk.com and LampsPlus.com. Each participant was required to work with the Fillable Clear Glass Ovo Table Lamp. It's beautiful lamp that is very well constructed and was a blast to transform.
This challenge was a "Holiday" theme. So after much debating I went with featuring some of my vintage Christmas postcards. After shopping around with no luck, I found some vintage sheet music (Christmas) sheet music and printed out several pages. I carefully tore different parts up and decoupaged them to the lampshade surface. I gave them an added second coat to make if firmer and for more protection.
I used some vintage new/old stock of some furniture metal edging to accent the top and bottom of the lamp shade. I wanted the metal aspect to flow from top to bottom with the metal rings on the shade, the silver-accented postcard and the metal base. I used nuts and bolts every inch on the metal rings to give it a great, industrial look to complement the metal finish and glass. Each remainder of the bolt was cut off past the nut.
I stole a note holder from my wife's studio and modified it to work inside the lamp. The base is held with a nut and bolt to the metal lamp base. I then soldered the nut and bolt to give it some permanence. I also lightly super glued the postcards to each holding ring to make sure it wouldn't slip out. The last thing I did was create a hole on the exterior bottom base for the wire to come out and I removed the rubber feet.

Apatosaurus on the left cheek, Raptor on the right. Rarely is beard-art this inspired (though it's been known to happen).
The hair-artist in question is Sean Sweeney. The Philadelphia-based high school math teacher said in a recent reddit post that his two-faced dino-beard was the winning entry in his school's beard competition, which a) of course it was, and b) high school beard competition? Is this a thing now? Because we approve.

Willing and Able Mentoring program
In 2014, WAM will be offered in Semester 1 and Semester 2. Expressions of Interest from mentors and mentees are welcome at any time.
What is WAM?
A national program linking people with disabilities (traditionally current students but open to all people with disabilities) with mentors and their organisations.
From 2014, the program is operated by Diversity Recruitment & Training (previously managed by Kevin Murfitt of Deakin University until 2013)
PhD research undertaken by Kevin Murfitt utilising evaluations from hundreds of WAM participants found that mentees gain significantly in their confidence, clarity of career direction and professional profile; while mentors gained further insight into the talents of people with disability, and strategies to make their workplaces more inclusive.
How WAM works:
The WAM Program matches job seekers or tertiary students who have a disability with mentors in leading organisations in the job seekers or students' field of interest for a series of 6-8 one- to two-hour meetings, so that mentees can::
- gather information about the work environment and expectations
- experience the workplace culture (e.g. attending staff meetings)
- network with people in their area of career interest
- refine their job search and interview skills
- learn how and when to disclose their disability and to open up discussions (e.g. to enable workplace modifications and integration into the workplace).
Comprehensive training is provided to mentors and mentees, and pairs are supported throughout the program.
Who can participate?
WAM is available on a fee-for-service basis across Australia for any job seeker or tertiary student who has a disability and is focused on making a career in a particular field. It is open to anyone with a disability, but has traditionally been taken up by university students and the fees paid by their university.
The program is currently offered on a user-pay bases, at $1100 per participant. Mentees or their sponsors are invoiced at the start of the program. Often, university student fees are paid by their institution. For approved individuals covering their own costs, payment can be made in three instalments over the mentoring period.
We are also inviting employers to share in the costs of the program as a part of their staff professional development program.
People who have a disability, despite being as talented as their peers, often fail to achieve their potential due to their own negative self-concepts and/or lack of familiarity with the workplace. They may also be overlooked in the fierce competition for career opportunities due to negative self-concepts, community stereotypes and general negative beliefs or assumptions about their ability.
In its many years of operation, WAM has been instrumental in reducing negative beliefs and enhancing the competitiveness of people with disabilities and in creating greater awareness of mentors and others in the workplace. Many student mentees have obtained good positions after graduation, which they attribute in large part to their involvement with WAM.
Requirements of Mentees
Mentees must be available for:
- a training workshop (this can be undertaken online or in a group face-to-face session),
- six to eight mentor sessions at the mentor's workplace, and
- a debriefing and certificate presentation event at the end of the program.
Mentor organisations who have participated include:
- AusAID, Canberra
- Australian Broadcasting Commission (ABC)
- Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU)
- Baker and McKenzie Solicitors, Sparke Helmore Lawyers and many other law firms
- Business Enterprise Centres SA Inc
- Royal Children's Hospitals in Melbourne and Sydney
- Deakin University Equal Opportunity Unit
- Disability Discrimination Legal Service
- Environment Protection Authority, Rockhampton

This program was a great help to me, not only to give me a better understanding [of my field] but as my mentor had a similar physical disability to me, she made me realise that my own experience will be the way to gauge whether I can do everything required [in my chosen field]. I definitely feel more focused and have clear ideas about my goals now. (2012 program – Mentee)
I just wanted to let you know that XX and I have finished our mentoring program due to him getting an internship. I can't thank you enough for pairing me with XX, we got along so well and had so much fun getting to know each other. Over the past couple of months I have seen his confidence increase tenfold; he is going after so many amazing opportunities and just excelling in everything that he is doing.
We mainly worked on interview skills, fixing up his resume and learning how to identify the skills that he has gained from his many achievements, as well as discussing life in a corporate environment and some of the areas of YYY and what we do. During our program he undertook a number of interviews for internships (including one at YYY) and has already landed a part time job with a web development company which is so exciting.
He is such an awesome, upbeat person and I know he will be a superstar in whatever field he chooses to work in. He definitely taught me just as much, if not more, than I could teach him. I would do it again in a heartbeat!
Thank you again for the opportunity. (2013 program – Mentor)
Expressions of Interest from mentors and mentees are welcome at any time.

African American Civil War Memorial and Museum
Museum Director Frank Smith, Ph.D., during his four elected terms with the District Council, Washington, DC, laid the basic groundwork to establish a national memorial for African American troops who served in the Civil War.
Fulfilling a lifelong dream to honor African Americans who fought for freedom as USCT, he oversaw the dedication of the African American Civil War Memorial in July 1998.
Toward that goal, Dr. Smith used a lifetime of leadership experience to secure financing, District support, and the active involvement of public and private agencies to establish the African American Civil War Memorial and Museum.

Essential oils is the oil that is found in the seeds, roots, resins, flowers, trees, stems, bark and fruit of plants. It is frequently distilled by steam or water. Essential oils are not greasy as one may think and most are clear. "Many oils have antiviral, antibacterial or antifungal properties. Some may also soothe inflammation, relax tense muscles or enhance breathing."
There are hundreds of uses for essential oils, and many ailments can be cured with them from physical to emotional imbalances. Essential oils have been used in other countries for thousands of years, and are now becoming interest to our culture as people seek more natural ways to heal.
Today let's explore Lavender Oil.
One of the most popular essential oils is Lavender. National companies who make cleaners, soaps, shampoos etc are adding a Lavendar fragrance to their products. Lavender essential oils have many uses. Let's explore;
Lavender is a wonderful oil to use on acne. Remember, they are not oily. Lavender inhibits the bacteria that cause the skin infection, helps to rebalance the over-secretion of sebum, which the bacteria thrive on, and reduces scarring". Another wonderful oil to try on acne is Tea Tree Oil, but let's not jump ahead.
- Use Lavender on a burn. Run the area under cold water for about 5 minutes, then use the neat (straight from bottle, no dilution) gentle pat it on the burn. Within seconds the pain is gone, and in most cases there will be no scarring.
- Eczema is yet another thing that Lavender can help. In this case you will want to mix a few drops of Lavender with a carrier oil such as Almond, Grapeseed, or olive if that is all you have, gentle rub on the area. Children will find this very soothing.
- Lavender oil is very popular for people and children with insomnia. "In a number of small studies, elderly psychiatric patients have been shown to sleep better and be more alert during the day when their sleep medication is replaced with lavender oil either dropped on their pillows, or placed in a diffuser on the ward. To help to induce sleep, put 3 or 4 drops of lavender oil on your pillow. For babies, add 1 drop of lavender oil & geranium oil in carrier oil and massage into a babies back or a few drops in their bedtime bath." Some companies are not making baby bath soap with lavender.
- Sunburn is another use for Lavender. Spray a pure Lavender mist onto the affected area.
These are just a few uses for Lavender oil, there are many other things that Lavender can help with such as insect bites, stress and anxiety, sinusitis, shingle, scabies, months, mosquitoes, menstrual cramps, travel, headaches, headaches, fever. This list can keep going, but we will let you do some research on your own.
It is very important that you do not take essential oils internally, ask your physician about them and always use top grade oils. Most oils can be bought locally, at a health food store, and you can always find them online as well.

Documentation of computer programs to compute and display pathlines using results from the U.S. Geological Survey modular three-dimensional finite-difference ground-water flow model
Open-File Report 89-381
By: David W. Pollock
- Document: Document (pdf)
- Open Access Version: Publisher Index Page
- Download citation as: RIS | Dublin Core
A particle tracking post-processing package was developed to compute three-dimensional path lines based on output from steady-state simulations obtained with the U.S. Geological Survey modular 3-dimensional finite difference groundwater flow model. The package consists of two FORTRAN 77 computer programs: (1) MODPATH, which calculates pathlines, and (2) MODPATH-PLOT, which presents results graphically. MODPATH uses a semi-analytical particle tracking scheme. The method is based on the assumption that each directional velocity component varies linearly within a grid cell in its own coordinate direction. This assumption allows an analytical expression to be obtained describing the flow path within a grid cell. Given the initial position of a particle anywhere in a cell, the coordinates of any other point along its path line within the cell, and the time of travel between them, can be computed directly. Data is input to MODPATH and MODPATH-PLOT through a combination of files and interactive dialogue. Examples of how to use MODPATH and MODPATH-PLOT are provided for a sample problem. Listings of the computer codes and detailed descriptions of input data format and program options are also presented. (Author 's abstract)

How to Refresh or Reset Your Windows 8 PC
- How to Refresh or Reset Your Windows 8 PC
- Preparing
- Resetting Your PC
It may seem odd for an article to be telling you how to "refresh" your Windows 8 PC before the operating system is even publicly available in its final release form. But if you think about it, when you buy a new Windows PC, you'll often find a slew of programs you didn't really wantgame trials, utilities, and more. So it's a boon to new PC users of the new OS that the latter offers a way to clean out everything nonessential.
There are actually two new Windows 8 capabilities that perform different kinds of cleanup: one refreshes the system while keeping all of your photos, music, and personal files. The other actually starts you over, returning your computer or tablet to its mint condition. The latter, resetting, is also an excellent choice for when you're selling, recycling, or gifting your PCsomething friends have often asked me about.
Resetting a Windows PC prior to Windows 8 had been a bit of a chore, so these new Windows 8 tools offer long-term benefits. And if you're not giving away your PC, the refresh tool is a much simpler alternative to reinstalling the operating system in the traditional way.
Both of the new Windows 8 options clean out the operating system itself, but the "Refresh" choice leaves intact your dataphotos, music, videos, and documents, your new-style Windows 8 apps, and your system settings. You'll find this choice by clicking or touching the Settings charm (you display the charms with a swipe in from the left on a touch screen, or by moving the mouse pointer to either of the right corners and moving it down or up). Then choose "Change PC Settings" at the bottom.
When you're on the new-style "PC settings" page (see screenshot below), choose the General section, and scroll the right-side choices down to the eighth choice, "Refresh your PC without affecting your files."
To get started with the refreshing process, click or tap the "Get started" button below the Refresh description. You'll then see a screen like this:
This provides more detail about what the operation does. A key thing to know is that the process will remove any desktop appsonly apps obtained from the Windows Store will remain. This message states that you'll be presented with a list of the removed apps on your desktop after the process. This removal makes sense, since desktop programs are the likeliest suspects for clogging your system and haven't passed through the Windows Store vetting process. For a (somewhat geeky and time-consuming) way to perform the refresh without losing desktop applications, see ExtremeTech's article, How to reinstall Windows 8 without losing your files and programs, but only if you're not afraid of command lines.

Credibility Building
A little while ago I wrote a blog post after one of our Mastermind meetings about beating out the established players in your neighbourhood. I had a ton of calls and comments on this post. Our company puts a lot of effort into training new agents so, as a result, we often find that their fundamental concern is that they don't feel they have the ability to beat out the experienced agents in their chosen farm area. You can read the complete blog post here,http://bit.ly/rSDssM
I wanted to follow-up on the 10 tips I gave in the Mastermind post and talk specifically about the one main issue that befuddles new agents; Credibility. The word, in itself comes from the root word "credo" which means "I believe". How does a new REALTOR, with little or no track record, build credibility? David Hornik of August Venture Capital wrote about just this topic. He believes you can gain credibility two ways, by borrowing it AND by demonstrating it. Here are a few tips on borrowing credibility;
- Surround yourself with credible people. Have an awesome team working on your behalf. Everything from Home inspectors, mortgage professionals, contractors, home stagers and landscapers. If you can, have them write you a brief testimonial about you.
- Work for a reputable company. Reputations, especially in Real Estate, are one of the most important factors to success.
- Get on neighbourhood committees. Not only does it prove that you are a community advisor, it portrays you as someone with 'skin in the game'. Hopefully someone on your committee will hire you or recommend you to one of their friends.
- Donate your time to a charity. Nothing says 'selfless' than lending a helping hand. You will feel good about doing a good deed and people will always rather work with someone who donates time and effort to a worthy cause.
- Utilize the successes of your company. Highlight their past sales efforts in the community.
Demonstrating credibility is another matter. David Hornik says that "there isn't a clear path to earning credibility. You don't produce a particular amount of diligence. You don't deliver a particular number of industry reports. You don't call or email to follow-up a particular number of times. What you need to do is be really smart and well-informed about the business (read neighbourhood) you are pursuing.
- Know your neighbourhood inside and out. That means knowing, with great depth, what houses sold for and why.
- Do what you say you are going to do. People respect other people (agents included) who respond quickly and with accuracy.
- Make contacts and build relationships with retailers, specialty shops, and services. Promote their products and services.
The study of credibility began over 2500 years ago with Aristotle. He was interested in how the great orators communicated. He broke down the modes of persuasion into three categories. Ethos or credibility was the first modes. The other two were logos (logic) and pathos (emotion). While this is pretty interesting, the goal of any great salesperson is to lower a prospect's perception of risk of becoming your client and increase their perception of your credibility.
Have an awesome week.

I haven't played my guitar for quite a while now. I don't know. My acoustic guitar just hangs in my room. I just look at it and not even care to wipe the dust piling on it.
My passion for music seems to fade away. I really would love to be playing on stage again. But the opportunity never knocked on my door. Or I just got tired of hoping about being able to perform on stage again. I am to be blamed, anyway. I became too lazy to chase my dream. Time just passed me by and now I feel that I'm too old for it. Sigh.
Maybe I just need an inspiration from something so I can play my music again. I'm in love with someone right now but he doesn't to inspire me that much. I haven't even written a song about him. Will purchasing a prs se custom 24 electric guitar bring me back my passion for music? Maybe I just need a better-sounding instrument to inspire me to play songs with a guitar again.
Or maybe I just have to put that spice and love about music in my life. I have been very busy with a lot of things lately. I forgot about the thing that I really love the most which is Music.
I better bring that inspiration back. Or else, I'll keep feeling dull and boring. I don't want to end up like that!

"Wishing you always…
Walls for the wind,
A roof for the rain,
And tea beside the fire."
~ Irish blessing
TECHO is a youth-led, non-profit organisation that works throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Their aim is to overcome poverty through the collaboration of youth volunteers and families living in poverty.
Part of their work involves constructing transitional housing to meet urgent and priority needs in slums. As stated on their website:
"The house built by TECHO is a prefabricated module of 162 square feet, built in two days, with the participation of young volunteers and families in the community."
However before the construction phase begins, the volunteer team regularly visits the community and interviews families to determine their needs and establish priorities.
As mentioned earlier, I forwent my post-birthday party sleep-in to volunteer with TECHO. About 30 young Hondurans and I piled into a big old yellow bus on Sunday morning and headed towards one of the marginalised barrios (suburbs/slums) of Tegucigalpa.
We divided into pairs (or in my case, a group of three) and were assigned families to survey. We would either be interviewing families for the first time, or conducting second visits. Visiting families for a second time helps TECHO verify facts as well as build relationships.
My group was given an initial survey to conduct. We wandered along the dirt streets under a hot mid-morning sun until we reached our designated house. It was a small 6 metre x 3 metre wooden construction with corrugated iron roofing.
Once the interview started I was amazed to hear that ten people (5 adults and 5 children) lived in that tiny building. It only had two rooms, a kitchen/living area and a bedroom. The bedroom contained two beds and a mattress on the floor.
They had electricity, but no running water. Marina*, the interviewee, pointed over her shoulder up the road to indicate where the families bathed. I'm guessing this means there was a creek or a small river further along.
It was an eye-opening experience. Working at UNICEF I've read countless documents about poverty in Honduras, but it's not the same as seeing it in person or talking to people who live it every day.
Marina explained that when her husband, who was some sort of construction sub-contractor, had consecutive jobs lined up they could expect their income to reach 4750 lempiras per month. That's AUD$235 per month to provide for a family of four.
The second house we visited had neither electricity nor water and had one wall made of cardboard and old, raggedy tarpaulins. Rosa*, her husband and three children shared the home.
We noticed they had a television in the main room, which seemed a little odd, considering they had no electricity. Rosa explained that each night her husband, who was a taxi driver, would connect the TV to the car battery and the family would watch one hour of TV together.
Any longer and the battery might go flat. The taxi was their sole source of income so more than an hour of TV was too big a risk to take.
Despite their miserable living conditions neither of the families we spoke to seemed miserable. I got the sense they were living each day as it came but were now quietly hopefully things might improve with some help from TECHO.
I was impressed by how warm and welcoming the community was to the volunteers. You could see there was a strong spirit of cooperation. And with a hospitality that demostrated how those who have the least often give the most, the entire TECHO group was cooked lunch.
I'm hoping to do more volunteer work with TECHO before my time ends here in Honduras. I'll be sure to write more about it if I do.

- Problem Definition
As NOC, storage tank is our main asset. We plan to build a 10.000 Kl storage tank, it will cost $ 1.300.000. The asset will be used for 20 years, and the SV at the end of useful life is $ 65.000.
In this week blog posting, Author wants to know the best depreciation method for the company, in order to reduce our income tax.
- Development of Feasible Alternatives
Alternatives for depreciation method are:
- Option 1 : Straight Line (SL) method
- Option 2 : Declining-Balance (DB) method
- Option 3 : DB with Switchover to SL Depreciation
- Option 4 : Sum of the Year Digits (SYD) method
- Option 5 : Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS)
3. Possible Solution
Option 1: SL Method
In this method, we assumes a constant amount is depreciated each year over the useful life of the asset.
Table 1 : SL Method
Option 2: DB Method Using 150% DB Equations
DB Method assumes the annual cost of depreciation is fix percentage of the BV at the beginning of the year.
Table 2: DB Method
Option 3: DB with Switchover to SL Depreciation
DB with Switch over to SL Depreciation assumes that the DB Method never reaches a BV of zero; it is permissible to switch from DB to the SL method so that an asset's BV will be zero (or some other determined amount such as its SV at year k).
Table 3: DB with Switchover to SL
Option 4: Sum of the Year Digits (SYD) method
SYD methods assume that assets are generally more productive when they are new and their productivity decreases as they become old.
Table 4: SYD Method
Option 5: MACRS Method
MACRS is unique to the United States Tax Code. Depreciation rates are set by percentages allowed under the U.S. Tax Code.
Based on IRS Publication 946 table B-2, Storage Tank class life is 14 years, and GDS 7 years.
Table 5: MACRS Method
- Selection Criteria
Our selection criteria will be the depreciation method that have the biggest impact on reduce taxable income for company.
- Analysis and Comparison of the Alternatives
Table 6: Comparison of Depreciation Method
Table 6 shows that the MACRS Method results in a larger share of the depreciation being charged during the earlier years of the asset's life than others depreciation method.
- Selection and Preferred Alternatives
Figure 1: Depreciation Comparison
Depreciation expense will reduce company's taxable earnings. The larger depreciation expense, the lower taxable income. Those will lower company's tax payment.
As shown in figure 1, MACRS method generate the biggest depreciation in early years. Therefore, this method will generate the lower taxable income for company.
- Performance Monitoring and the Post Evaluation of Result
MACRS method is unique to US Tax code. For Indonesian company, we must exclude MACRS method from our analysis, and use the acceptable depreciation method that follow Tax system in Indonesia.

The Double Suspension SUP Wall Rack is a unique stand up paddleboard wall rack because it will store your boards with zero pressure points. Made by Suspenz, this rack includes their exclusive Cradling Strap System (CSS) which is effectively a suspension strap system. These suspension straps conform to your board's geometry and are what allow this rack to not create any pressure points on your board - awesome!
This Double Suspension SUP Wall Rack also is great due to its heavy duty and powder coated metal frame. The monolithic, tubular steel construction will ensure a long lifetime and allows you to store SUPs up to 100 lbs! Suspenz has done an excellent job powder coating this rack in their signature yellow and recommend this rack for indoor or outdoor use! Having a rack you can use in your home, garage, shed, or even on the boat dock is a HUGE advantage. For outdoor storage in saltwater environments, here's a Galvanized Outdoor version of this rack.
Another key feature about this suspension SUP rack is that it has built in safety straps. These are adjustable straps that can be tightened down to ensure your rack stays securely in place. This is a great feature if you store your boards outdoors in a windy spot or if you're afraid someone might bump into your board.
About Suspenz:
Suspenz is one of the leaders in kayak home storage. Known for their bright yellow powder coat finish and unique suspension strap system, Suspenz makes a great product at an affordable price. Suspenz's main feature is their Cradling Strap System (CSS). This is a suspension strap system found on most of their racks that ensures there will never be any pressure points applied to your kayak or board. Additionally, Suspenz is known for highly customizable, expandable, and universal storage systems. All Suspenz products also have a one year warranty from the manufacturer.
Determine spacing for the SUP racks. As with all Suspenz racks, the ideal spacing is 40 percent of boat length, at least that's what the engineers say. Always anchor into a wooden wall stud. Use a mounting screw to mark the hole locations. The mounting holes are spaced 4 inches apart. Use a 3/16 drill bit. Soap the screw threads – an old carpenter's trick. Leaving the top screw loose makes it easy to rotate the rack to find the bottom screw hole. Studs are typically on 16 inch centers. Mount second rack arm at same height as first.
Adjusting the rack straps: Undo velcro on the safety strap. Undo velcro on the support strap. Set length so SUP is suspended without touching the arm. Re-attach velcro to position safety strap. Secure SUP with safety strap. With the expansion plate kit, it is easy to add storage for a second SUP. Assembling a double SUP rack. The single SUP configuration extends 10 inches from the wall. The double SUP configuration extends 20 inches from the wall.
Hey! This is Josh from StoreYourBoard, here today with the Double Paddleboard Suspension Wall Rack mounted behind me. You can see there's two different levels. There's four of these basic U-hooks included so you can see one, two, three, four. So, the one at the back gets mounted to the wall and then the second level is actually bolted to the first U-hook. So, this guy bolts on to that with included hardware, included bolts, so it's a really compact option to store two paddleboards in a row, and it also looks kind of cool with the step back aesthetic on it. The reason it's called a suspension wall rack is because it's built from this heavy-duty metal U-hook made of steel, powder-coated, and then it has this nylon strapping inside of it and what that does is it prevents the paddleboard from touching the metal. So it just hangs there in a suspended state, so that's pretty cool especially if you have a nice high-end SUP, something like that. It just forms exactly to the edge of your paddleboard no dents, no dings, no nothing. You got to see that back here. If you can see this, my hand underneath here, there is no touching the metal and the paddleboard. It's all in the suspension system, so that's pretty cool. It also has a top strap, so your SUP rests in this suspension cradle, and then it has this top strap, which can strap it in for extra – take that apart. It goes like this and then there's a buckle right there, so the top strap here is just an extra security feature. You don't need that for everyday use, but it is nice maybe if you have kids, high-traffic area, something like that. It's really, really secure. That's the suspension rack. I've got another board down here. I'm going to show you how it goes up. You just place it in and it stays just like that, so this board I don't have strapped in; this one behind, I do. It's very compact like I said. Inside the U is 8 inches and each U is 10 inches, so this is hanging out around 20 maybe a couple more inches, and then each one has 8 inches so that holds the majority of the paddleboards on the market. The big race, the big touring boards would probably not fit but most of the other ones. This is an inflatable paddleboard so this is like 6.5 inches wide and you can see it fits just fine. Check it out the Double Suspension SUP Wall Rack. .
Do these have board locks? If not can board locks be used with this system?
These double SUP board racks don't have locks built in, but SUP dock locks, seen here, https://www.storeyourboard.com/sup-lock-system-dock-locks/, can be used with them. SUP dock locks come as a base set of one 10 foot locking cable, with a jaw clamp you use to secure the system to your board's leash plug or fin box; if you want to secure more than one SUP, you can, you just order additional jaw clamps for the other boards, but they can then be secured to the same locking cable, and used in conjunction with the racks, or you can secure the board to other stationary items -- it is a very versatile system to lock the boards.
I bought these to stack two windsurfing boards, and it works great! It's exactly as described. Everything you need is included to mount the racks to the wall, and the adjustable straps make it easy to make sure everything is secured tightly. Recommended.
Bought these for my place on the island of Bonaire. These worked perfect!!! Seem to be of high quality and construction.It comes with all the hardware you need to hang them but I needed to buy concrete screws for my specific application. Boards are suspended above the brackets so it provides the prefect place for your paddles underneath.
this was s Christmas present, however it was clearly marked what it was. Not able to hide the gift. Wished it was in another box!
Alternate hardware would have been a nice option. I am mounting to an aluminum dock and the hardware provided won't work.
I ordered two locks, a chain, and this double suspension rack. Only one lock showed up and a single suspension rack (in two separate shipments). Once contacted, the company quickly sent me the missing items, but I think they need to work on their order fulfillment accuracy! The double rack works well. It was easy to install and is easy to use.
So the "lean the SUP boards against the wall" didn't work very well. Next we tried webbing straps with buckles on the wall - which worked well for long-term storage (long winters in Iowa) but not for the take the boards down, then put them up and down and up and down we need here in NC (basically need two people to make them work - one to hold the board, the other to work the straps.) These new hooks work great - one person can pull the boards off the wall and after we return one person can easily put them back on the rack. (Note: We don't use the long straps because the boards are stored in the garage - but I will keep the straps for our next house where the boards may be stored outside under windy conditions.)
Screws were a little weak and stripped during installation. Put others in, hope they hold up!!
Everything arrived as ordered. We have assembled them, which was very easy. We have not installed them as yet but they certainly look like good quality and will work out for the space we have in our garage.
Easy to install and the straps keep the boards from having to contact the metal. As advertised and works well
Great design and easy to install. Excellent solution for two SUP using compact wall-based footprint.
These racks work perfectly. No only do they store my boards efficiently, they also protect the surface of my boards with the suspension property. Everyone who has paddle boards and are serious about taking care of them should purchase your racks - so glad I did!! Thanks. Jim
I mounted sup suspension rack on the back of my houseboat. Before I had to carry the sup up the ladder to the second deck wich was a pain. Ithe racks are awesome free standing and the tie down boards won't get damaged
Works just like it looks. A perfect fit for my 2 SUPs. Easy to attach to my boathouse on the lake and easy 'in' and 'out' with the boards. Very sturdy materials.
Easy to install. Study construction, not afraid SUP boards will fall out. Like the suspension straps keep the boards suspended off the racks. Fits my SUP boards nicely even when they are in their protective travel bags.
great service, great racks, great quality. All great stuff here, nothing bad to say. Easy installation and all the fasteners included.
Especially like the straps to support the board. Like the fact they are not resting directly on bracket. Easy to load and unload.
We are very pleased with the quality of the SUP double suspension rack. It attached easily to our aluminum dock & will keep the SUP's safer than leaning against the deck & makes it easier to access.
Quality is excellent. I strongly recommend it!
The double suspension SUP racks are so easy to install and take up little or no room in the garage. My initial plan was to store boards in the rafters but that would've made it impossible for kids to get boards out by themselves..
With these racks my 13 yr old son has no problem putting away the boards or getting them out.
Great product.....
We purchased 2 SUP's for our kids for Christmas presents, I wanted to get a rack that would A. hold both boards and B. something they could get the boards on and off easily. The double suspension rack works great both boards fit in nicely, we only had to remove one of the fins for them to fit nicely against the wall...
Exactly what I was looking for and received them promptly after ordering them.
The installation of the double suspension wall rack was easy and quick. The system holds two boards and are easy to get the boards in and out of the racks. Beats other systems I have tried. Wished I would have found these sooner.
