For my next big project (automated plant watering system) I was in need of having water level meter. I was choosing from contact and contactless methods of measuring fluid level in tank. Contact methods are resistive method, capacitive and inductive methods (magnetostriction). Most often contactless methods are optical method, radar and ultrasonic method. Because we didn't want to affect the quality of water in tank we implement one of the contactless methods.
What method to choose? All contactless methods work on same principle: we send a signal and we measure time that send signal needs to come back. Optical method uses optical signals. Optical method can be very accurate, but sensors can get dirty over time and we are not able to make measurement at all. Radar method uses radar signals. Because of that (radar signals are high RF signals) it is not suitable for DIY. Ultrasonic method is similar to radar. Instead of radar wave we are sending ultrasonic wave. This procedure is ideal for our needs because ultrasonic sensors are accessible and low priced.
We made water level meter with Arduino platform (we used Arduino Mega2560, but any arduino will work).
For damage occurred during reproduction I am not hold responsible.
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Parts and Materials
- Arduino (Uno, Mega 2560,...)
- ultrasonic sensor HC SR04
- wires for connecting censor to Arduino
- acrylic glass for housing (optional)
Step 2: Theory Behind Ultrasonic Level Sensor
First, let us talk about some theory behind ultrasonic method of fluid lever measuring. The idea behind all contactless methods is to measure distance between transceiver and fluid. As said before, we transmit short ultrasonic pulse and we measure travel time of that pulse from transceiver to liquid and back to transceiver. Ultrasonic pulse will bounce from liquid level since because change of density of ultrasonic pulse travel medium (ultrasonic pulse first travel through air and bounce of liquid with higher density than air). Because water has higher density, majority of pulse will bounce off.
Two disadvantages exist with ultrasonic method:
- 1st: because of pulse length there is small window that we cannot receive pulse with transceiver because transceiver is transmitting. This problem is simple to solve: we placed our sensor higher from maximum water level for few centimeters allowing receiver to start receiving.
- 2nd: because of the beam width we are limited with tank diameter. If tank diameter is too small, signal could bounce of tank's walls and could cause false readings.
Before installing sensor in tank we tested it for those two disadvantages. We established that we could have stable measurements from minimum distance of 5 cm from sensor. That means, we must install our sensor 5 cm higher then maximum water level. We also established that we didn't have any problems with signal bouncing from tank's walls with 7.5 cm diameter tank (tank's length was 0.5 m). We complied these two results at construction of water tank and at the setting up of ultrasonic sensor.
Step 3: Water Tank
Watering system will use free fall for water feeding. Because of that, water tank needs to be lifted up from floor level. We made water tank from drainpipe 1m in length and 16 cm in diameter. We divided pipe into two sections. Lover section (first 50 cm) will house valves. Upper section will serve as water tank. On the upper section we are using pipe end cap as water tank cover. On end cap we mounted ultrasonic sensor. For larger stability we added wooden base, which will also house electronics and battery pack.
Here comes the mathematical specification of the tank. This part is essential, because we want to codify fluid height measurement in %. Starting point of codifying is measurement alone. Measurement can be between 6 and 56 cm (6 cm offset). This is codified into 0 to 100 %. It comes down to simple cross calculus.
We chose homogeneous tank because of easier calculations of volume (we are using pipe – cylindrical shape). Diameter of pipe is the same through the length of the pipe. We have also made equation whit which we can measure volume of water still in the tank. We didn't implement this because there was no need for it. For now!
Step 4: Ultrasonic Sensor, Schematics
We soldered wires to ultrasonic sensor (we used FTP or UTP cable; it can be one of them). Then we installed sensor in small custom made housing from acrylic glass. Casing with sensor in it was sealed off and mounted on tank's cover. Housing was a bit improvised and it is not essential. Because of that, there are no picture and no plans for it. You can figure it out somehow by yourself.
We connected sensor on Arduino board following schematic in picture.
Step 5: Program
We converted program for measuring distance to program for measuring water level. Program for measuring distance is not of our making but was found on internet in this tutorial we cannot find anymore.
First we transmit signal and then we wait and measure time between transmitted signal and received signal. This time is then converted to centimeter and centimeters are then converted to % and send via serial connection to computer. We could also calculate water volume that is still in the tank.
Step 6: Testing
Because in the future we wish to implement automatic watering system with two stages regulator, we must measure tank's flow characteristic. Question is why we must do that? You see, outgoing flow in the tank depends on hydrostatic pressure inside of the tank. With basic knowledge of physics anybody see that hydrostatic pressure id decreasing with falling water level in tank. Because we want to feed plants every time with same amount of water, we must adjust valve opening time. With tank's flow characteristic we can calculate how much water can flow out of tank at any time and with that we can determine how long valve must stay in open position.
Also we wanted to test our level meter. We filled up water tank to maximum height. Then we opened a valve and let all the water run out. Because drain pipe is mounted to prevent sucking out sediments, tank was emptied to 2%. In picture is presented response to step function. From this response we can approximate function on which water level is changing (with Excel, Matlab, or other powerful mathematical tool).
We can conclude that sensor works in accordance with expectations.
Step 7: What's Next?
Implemented water level meter serves as a concept of principle. If we would want to use this meter in DIY project and in semi industrial or other applications we would have to make test of sensor endurance and resistance to water splattering. After that test we would be able to see if sensor is appropriate for use in DIY projects or any other environments. Right now I can only say that sensor is working fine within this short period of time.
Because sensor is measuring water level with contactless method water can stay unspoiled. Implemented meter is also cheap and accessible and because of this it is very suitable for DIY.

I'm trying this for my school project, please help me whit code.I can't download the code.please can anyone help me with code for this project?
Hello, can this same procedure be used to determine the level of gas in a gas bottle,? instead of placing the transducer above the liquid level guess it will be placed at the bottom
can this sensor pass sound wave through arcylic sheet ? or you need to make two holes for each sensor ?
reply at
The acrylic will reflect part of the ultrasonic and the rest will go further and get detected when it comes back. You may need to ignore this time by including it into dead zone as @andytechdude mentioned.
does this applicable for bigger tanks like water tanks.
Loved this! Thankyou.
Quick question. Can i measure the volume of an irregular shaped tank?
Thanks Ben.
Great use of ultrasonics!
Refering to your comments regarding the longevity of the system. Past work experience with the cheap readily available ultrasonic transducers has taught me that they do not like water. The aluminium case and grille corrode and the internals of the piezo electric transducer eventually gives up. There are water proof versions as used on car reversing devices but their sesitivity is much lower than the cheap common open versions. The reduced sensitivity may be OK for shorter range and larger targets that produce larger echo.
A few tips for increasing the life of these open transducers.
1/ Prevent water spray onto the transducer. In the past I have used barrier materials to take the energy out of spray and prevent the majority of direct water contact. Utrasonics have strange properties and what may look opaque to you may be perfectly transparent to utrasonics. The coarse nylon material that pan scrubbers are made from produces a good barrier that drains easily and the transducer simply "sees" straight through.
2/ Humidity. The interior of a water tank gets very humid under the right conditions and that humidity will make short work of your tranducers. Try to provide ventilation arround your tranducers to keep the humidity low, vent to the outside. Your transducers can "look" in through a well placed hole while enjoying the fresh dry air outside the tank.
Ultrasonics may pick up features that you do not wish them to see. Features on a tank wall or the rim of a hole for example. The beam shape from ultrasonic transducers can be shaped to prevent this. Similarly as you can with light, reflectors and baffles may be applied to tranducers to shape / limit the beam. Trial & error is the only easy method for the home inventor for getting this right.
Minimum detection range. When attempting to detect in the coser ranges, problems can be encountered due to cross-talk directly between the tranducers. Software can be modified to include a "dead zone" an echo time interval below which the readings are ignored. Isolating the transmitter and receiver sound can also help with this problem.
Keep inventing.
What is the maximum depth that we can measure using this sensor ?

I facing this kinda error. Help me. Thanks.
Excellent idea! I suspect the sensors could be covered with food-wrap film to splash proof them without interfering too much with their operation.
I'll be trying it!
Hmm... Food foil could work but I am a bit skeptical! Ultrasonic (or ultrasound) wave are same as sound just frequency is to high for you to hear it. Ultrasonic waves are mechanical waves of presure. Because of that, foil can interupt with measurment! This is why radar method is better in industry because it use high frequency electromagnetic waves which can penetrate some materials and waterproofing a transceiver is not so hard.
I was thinking of the thin plastic film ("cling film" in the UK).
It's very thin and flexible, and I think it would vibrate with the ultrasound to transmit the vibrations if it was stretched over the sensors.
The calibration may need some adjustment, but I think it might work.
I'll try it and report back. :)
Let me know about the results! I am very curious if this foil you are talking about will work! =)
It does. :)
I tried it.... You need stretch the film over each sensor individually to avoid vibration transfer between the two, but otherwise it seems fine.
I just stretched film across the front of the sensors, folded it back along the sensor bodies and held it in place with rubber bands.
I couldn't see any difference in readings between the sensor with or without the film.
I suspect it would work with thin polythene as well, but I haven't tried that yet.
Waw thats nice.. That was something I was also looking for. Since you already tried it, I have no worries. Out of a curiosity can you find any difference in result after wrapping it in film.
I made a similar one at my home water tank. but at summer when water getting vaporized and it getting on the sensor.
Awesome! =D
Thanks for update!
Very nice instructable...
If the cling wrap method makes the sensors waterproof of sorts. Will definitely implement it in the water storage tank at my home. But I don't think it is a possibility..
I want to measure the fluid level of sewage in a tank. Will the sensor work if glued to the outside of the top of the tank? If it will, does the thickness of the tank wall make a difference? The tank is 9mm thick plastic.
BoydG1 it wont work, plastic being much more dense material than air, the sound signal will bounce right back at the sensor, and then the readings will be always 0, for this to work, you would need to cut a hole in the sewage tank (on the top) and install the sensor there. And further more, you got to check the specs of your sensor for the max distance it reads.
What will be the max depth this sensor can measure??

Four Indian tourists and three local residents died when a cable car crashed down from a height of 30 metres in a tourist town in the Indian part of Kashmir.
Four other people were injured in the accident in the resort town of Gulmarg, said senior police officer Imtiyaz Hussain. One of the injured was in a critical condition.
Mr Hussain said gusty winds in the area uprooted a huge pine tree that hit the cable of the coach, bringing it down to the ground.
The dead included a New Delhi couple and their two children. The three local residents who died included two tourist guides.
Authorities have restored the cable and rescued around 100 people who were stranded in cable cars. They were also scouring the nearby forest for any tourists who may have fallen there.
The accident was the first since the cable cars were installed 18 years ago, Mr Hussain said.
The cable cars carry tourists in the Pirpanjal mountain range in the western Himalayas. Gulmarg is a popular skiing destination for both Indian and foreign tourists, though the accident happened during the summer tourist season.

Dark clouds loomed and tension filled the air. It was the night before our annual fundraiser, Fall Festival. The school was bustling with activity but worried faces filled the hallways. There was a huge storm in the horizon and it was headed our way. Would we have to cancel our much awaited Fall Festival? The teachers and parents were concerned and the school sent out a last minute make up day email, but kept its collective fingers crossed.
The morning of October 31 dawned, bright and clear. The sun emerged and the rains stayed away. Our festival was on! It was chock full of fun filled events and activities. The Lollipop Tree, Dunking Donuts, face painting, ghoul bus rides, throwing pies at our beloved teachers were especially popular amongst the children. The Silent Auction with spectacular class baskets had everyone abuzz. Everyone had a smile on their face as the day warmed. Aromas of hot dogs, Frito Pie and chicken tacos wafted across the air. It was a great opportunity for our families to get together, meet new people, eat some good food. What a wonderful way to spend time together as a community!
The funds we raised are being used to transform our school's outdoor areas into flexible learning spaces. Here at School in the Hills, we truly are a community. We believe it takes the efforts and contributions of every one of us to pull off an event of this scale. A heartfelt thank you to all our parents – past, present and future who turned up in great numbers to support us and make this event a huge success.

Yay for the weekend! Truthfully I don't really care much for the fact that its the weekend because Jason knew since Tuesday that he would be working all weekend full days so although I plan to keep the truck tomorrow it doesn't really make much difference to me. However I am very excited that the days are going by because it is officially a week today until we leave!! I started my count down the day we got back from our last roll out so the fact that we are a week out now is super exciting.
So all week I've been talking about a post I was really excited about and I will be honest I somehow doubt many of you will find it exciting and I completely understand. I also understand that Friday really isn't a day for very serious posts but I have been putting this off all week for one reason or another so today I'm going to just dive in!
Have any of you watched that new show (or new to me) Who do you think you are? (Hence the title, it wasn't some snappy title leading into a "this bitch" story... sorry to disappoint) Anyways a couple of weeks ago I was laying in bed not being able to sleep and I saw this show on TV. If you haven't heard of it, it is basically a show about celebrities tracing their ancestry through www.ancestry.com and other means. The show is really interesting, and not just because of the celebrities, although it really does humanize them quite a bit but because its always interesting to find out where you came from.
Who didn't have to do a family tree in school? I know I did and I actually really enjoyed it. My Mom's family was really hard to trace and although on and off for years I put some effort into it, it didn't go too far. I think when you are thinking about working on a family tree you always think to start with your direct family and move back one generation at a time, I have found with this show they indeed do that but recently they don't focus on the closer generations but those further out... which is even more interesting.
I have seen quite a few episodes of the show and truth be told the more I watch the more interested I am. Part of my interest is that I really do enjoy history and being Canadian in school we learned Canadian history, not really any American so although over the years I have read a bunch of books on different aspects of American history these shows are extremely interesting to me.
Last week Zooey Deschanel was on the show and her episode was the one I found to be most interesting. The show was based around the fact that growing up her mother always insisted she came from a long line of strong woman and it was important for her to trace that back and see just how strong they were. She found an amazing story, and I found a new obsession.
As I said I really enjoy history and as Zooey's episode focused a lot around the Civil War and Abolitionism it was really interesting to hear about those times and what it was like to live through something of that magnitude and the difference it made for the world we live in today.
Having recently read The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom it focused a lot on slavery (I compared this story to that of The Help, although truthfully I think I enjoyed this book more) and I always find myself heart sick thinking about how differently we once treated each other and just how the world once worked and the progress we have made. I will admit my knowledge of slavery is limited and not until I started watching this particular episode did I realize the magnitude of the struggle to abolish it.
I remember on one of our road trips seeing the sign for the Mason-Dixon Line and laughing (cut me some slack, again I am Canadian) I guess I never put much thought into it but thought it was just one of those things people said but didn't actually mean much. Who knew that the Mason-Dixon Line was originally surveyed in 1763 and 1767 by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon (get it?). The popular usage of the Mason-Dixon Line was the symbolize a cultural boundary between Northeastern and Southern United States, meaning without giving you a major history lesson at one time is basically separated the states that utilized slaves and those that did not.
I will be out and about tomorrow but I will stop in with a lighter topic! I hope you are all having the wonderful 90 degree weather we are and plan to enjoy it!

Intro Envato Chat Support
If you have been searching for a WordPress theme on ThemeForest recently, you may have discovered a service named'Envato Hosted' being advertised. As you may have guessed, this recently established service is from Envato, the website's parent company, and is offering handled WordPress hosting. Envato Chat Support
Click Here to register up to Envato Marketplace now!
As well As managing a number of the chief aspects of your WordPress website (something we are going to be covering in more detail below), also providing you with everything you need to begin a new site, one of the main selling points of this revolutionary service is access to one of the engaging ThemeForest themes as part of your subscription payment.
Possessing a Single point of contact for domain name registration, website hosting, subject provision, and the managing of things such as website updates and copies sounds really handy, but is this service worth your money? And does this deliver the performance your site needs?
Let us Have a look.
About the Envato Hosted Managed WordPress Hosting Service
Envato Aim to simplify the process of establishing a WordPress website with their new hosting service. Now, rather than registering a domain name with a single company, buying a WordPress theme from a different, and then signing up for an internet hosting service elsewhere, not to mention connecting those bits together, using Envato Hosted, you can access all these components through one single account, with one recurring monthly payment.
Not only This, however the Envato Hosted team will also take good care of site backups, core software updates and more to help make sure your website is running smoothly.
What Do You Get With Envato Hosted?
The Advantage of a one-stop shop for all your WordPress site needs does seem attractive. We are going to cover the pricing details in more detail later in this review, but at $19.99 per month, it's clear that this is not affordable, entry-level hosting. So let us see what you get for the money.
The Envato Hosted theme installation and installation service is ideal for anyone who's either new to WordPress or short time. After a fresh installation of WordPress was completed, your subject of choice (from the available options) will be installed and activated on your brand new website.
If You currently have a WordPress site, you'll be very happy to know the Envato Hosted bundle comprises a migration of your site and its content into your hosting accounts. It also has optional domain name registration and configuration, and connects your domain to your own server room to make sure your website can be seen in your preferred URL.
ThemeForest Is the largest WordPress themes market, with over 8,000 options. Among the biggest attractions of Envato Hosted is that you get one of these themes included as part of your hosting program.
Regrettably, In the time of writing, only a small choice of WordPress themes were available as part of their Envato Hosted service. Hopefully, later on, more theme writers will choose to opt in, but, for the time being, you can choose from the best-selling, multipurpose Avada, Enfold, Bridge, Jupiter, and The7 themes, among others.
WordPress Website hosting packages have a tendency to fall in to two categories, managed and unmanaged. Envato Hosted are in the former class, and, as part of their managed service, updates into the WordPress core software and security checks will be carried out on your own behalf. Your site will also be tracked in real time for errors, ensuring any problems are detected after they arise. Envato Chat Support

As Part of the hosting security measures, the Envato Hosted system engineers are proactive in scanning sites for malware and other problems, and DDoS protection can also be set up to keep your website online. If an issue is detected, the service team will start work solving it, while also notifying you of this circumstance. This proactive approach also applies to helping with hacked sites.
Considering It is not unheard of for some internet hosts to just take your site offline whenever they detect a potential security issue, it is good to find that the Envato Hosted team will get to work once an issue is encountered, while also keeping you in the loop about what's occurring.
Maybe Unsurprisingly, the Envato Hosted service runs on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure. As a result of this, your WordPress website will be hosted on the effective AWS cloud-computing servers.
More Information concerning the Envato Hosted hosting environment comprises:
· Websites mostly hosted in Virginia, US, with a few limited availability in Europe.
· PHP version 5.6 with strategies to push PHP7 in Q1 2017.
· Apache and NGINX nodes.
· HTTP/2 upgraded network protocol enabled across the board.
· SSL provided for all domain names, free of charge, through Let's Encrypt.
Currently, There is no website staging service offered, but this has been considered for the long run.
Site Snapshots are also taken every single, and backups are kept for 30 days (and stored offsite in Amazon S3 storage for extra security ). At the moment, if you want to restore a backup, you will need to start a ticket to ask the service team to perform this undertaking. However, Envato Hosted hopes to empower self-initiated backups and restores from the first quarter of 2017.
Regrettably, The Envato Hosted service does not include any email hosting or management solutions. However, you can connect your own Envato Hosting account to one of the supported mail suppliers.
Therefore, If you are already using an email provider like google Apps or even Office 365, you can connect your domain name to the service. If not, signing up with one of these services is your best alternative for receiving and sending emails together with your site's domain name.
After You have signed up using Envato Hosted, you can contact the support team around the clock. Tickets can be opened from within your Envato Hosting account dashboard, giving you a central location for managing your site and helpdesk correspondence.
Although Live chat has been considered for the long run, there's no telephone support service, with email being the only means to get in contact with the team. During the testing for this review, the Envato Hosted support team responded quickly to any tickets that were opened.
As part Of the client onboarding process, you will also get a one-on-one session with a part of the service staff. This is a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have or iron out any issues that might occur while setting up your website. Envato Chat Support
After You've signed up using Envato Hosted, you will be able to log into your account dash. In the dashboard area, you can see your busy hosting plans, the particulars of your WordPress website, along with other important information.
We'll Cover the usage limitations from the pricing department. But, you can easily view how much of your customer, disc quota, and bandwidth allocation you have consumed from your Envato Hosted dashboard.

Having Your selection from a selection of high quality WordPress topics, as well as all of the other good features covered above, is great. But perhaps the most significant reason to select one web host over the following is how quickly they can serve your website to your visitors.
This Guide explains why site speed is so important. Suffice to say, if you would like to have more visitors, a greater user experience, and improved goal conversion prices, then you need to do all you can to improve the rate of your WordPress site. With that in mind, let us look at the loading times we experienced while testing Envato Hosted for this review.
Envato Hosted User Experience
On Paper, Envato Hosted provides everything a new WordPress user could want. So, let's find out how simple this support would be to utilize in practice.
As This is a hands on Envato Hosted review, for testing purposes, we did register and launch a new WordPress site. Although the time from starting the signup procedure to having the ability to log into the new WordPress website wasn't instant, it only took about five seconds. But an important part of the time was spent staring at a display wondering what exactly was going on.
There Were a few hiccups on the way, like the links to the website and control panel which were delivered over not yet becoming busy. This was likely because of domain name system (DNS) configurations taking some time to propagate, and the new URL being in the process of going live. However, as there's no mention of those delays and potential issues during the installation procedure, it marginally taints the suitability of Envato Hosted for inexperienced WordPress users.
Straightforward Advancement messages and notices about flaws would be an easy way to overcome these problems and keep consumers informed.
In General, However, getting started with Envato Hosted and launching a brand new WordPress website is relatively straightforward. You really can register a domain, select a theme, and choose which demo to get installed, all through a single signup procedure. However, while everything did work, the enrollment procedure felt somewhat rough round the edges compared with that of Envato Hosted's competitions.
GTmetrix Site Speed Test Results
The Loading times of the test site were also quantified with GTmetrix, yet another popular performance reporting tool. Envato Chat Support
GTmetrix Recorded the webpage loading time in 2.2 seconds, which is comparable with the Pingdom results.
For the Sake of contrast, another evaluation WordPress site, also using Avada and also the same Agency demonstration, took just more than a second longer to load a low-cost, entry-level shared hosting accounts.
Pingdom Website Speed Test Success
Pingdom is a popular monitoring agency, and One of the greatest methods to measure the performance of a website. After signing up with Envato Hosted, the Avada motif was set up along with the Agency demo website content erased.
As That the Avada Agency demo homepage involves a multimedia slider using movie content and other big documents, it was determined that a more standard page in the demo, consisting of text and images, would yield more relevant results. Once the evaluation WordPress site was set up, Pingdom listed the loading times of this internal blog article at 30-minute intervals.
After Monitoring website rate with Pingdom, the average load time within the previous seven days for our WordPress website, hosted by Envato using the Avada motif and its own Agency demonstration, was 2.96 seconds, with a YSlowperformance grade of 85/100. The loading times were recorded at regular intervals during the testing period.
Site Uptime was also tracked with Pingdom. During the testing, six instances of downtime were detected, together with the site unavailable for 15 minutes in total. This resulted in an uptime of 99.85percent based on Pingdom. Although the website returned to its accessible state without any intervention, the longest amount of downtime — as can be seen from the image below — was a slightly worrying nine moments.
Envato Hosted Pricing Details
Envato Will host your WordPress site for $19.99 a month or $190 annually, plus taxes.
This Cost also includes any qualifying WordPress theme from ThemeForest, such as bestselling options such as Avada, X Theme, and Enfold. Also included in the ceremony is the setup of your preferred theme and its own presentation, as well as ongoing support for your website.

When it Comes to usage, your $19.99 per month or $190 annually comprises 100,000 monthly visits, 5GB of disk space, and 100GB of monthly bandwidth. These quotas are soft limits, and nothing automatic will occur should you go over them. Instead, if excess usage is found, expect to be contacted by the service team to talk about a solution which works for both parties. There are no overage charges in place right now.
For Comparison, the entry level WP Engine managed WordPress hosting plan comprises 25,000 monthly visits, 10GB of disk space, and unlimited bandwidth for $29 per month. For a more budget-friendly choice, SiteGround offer their own spin on managed WordPress hosting for as little as $9.95 per month, including an allowance of around 10,000 monthly visitors and 10GB of disk space. Envato Chat Support
However, Neither of these rival options comprises a premium ThemeForest WordPress theme and installation. The allure of the Envato Hosted service is having everything in 1 location, under one account, such as your domain name, hosting service, WordPress theme, and service staff.
You can Try Envato Hosted for free within a seven-day trial. You will have to enter your payment details to get started, however, the trial period is a good method to find out for yourself how the agency works.
Components is a service out of Envato That aims to offer creators and makers having an ever-expanding library of digital resources for their own projects. If you want access to a large and growing collection of movies, sound files, photos, images, illustrations, fonts, HTML templates, and WordPress themes and plugins, in addition to other content then Envato Elements could be exactly what you're searching for.
Furthermore, Envato Elements subscribers today get access to 1,200 video courses and eBooks from EnvatoTuts+. As a result of this, you not only get access to nearly 1 million electronic assets but also the educational content that will assist you work with them effectively.
Inside This Envato Components review, we'll research what this service has to offer, how it functions, and how much it costs to help you decide if this is a great option for your requirements.
Testing with the Twenty Seventeen WordPress Theme
Even though Avada is one of the most popular WordPress topics about, its wealth of features and functionality could be overkill for some jobs. If your requirements are more small and you'd like to understand how Envato Hosted performs with a more nominal WordPress theme, we tested a website with the free Twenty Seventeen theme from the WordPress.org team.
Unlike Avada, the free Twenty Seventeen motif does not contain or rely upon any plugins. Consequently, this no frills WordPress theme gave Envato Hosted a great opportunity to demonstrate how quickly it could deliver a web site. With an average loading time of 335 milliseconds, along with also a grade performance over seven days of analyzing, Envato Hosted certainly has the potential to quickly serve a WordPress website to your viewers.
Even though An uptime of 99.85% was recorded by Pingdom during our first round of testing, there was no downtime recorded in our second seven-day period of testing.
Your Requirements and the last configuration of your website will probably sit somewhere in between one of the full-featured Avada demos as well as the minimum Twenty Seventeen theme. Your results will surely vary from ours, but ours ought to provide you a rough idea of what to expect from Envato Hosted. What's more, with a seven-day free trial, you must have sufficient time to carry out speed testing of your site before making a last decision on Envato Hosted.
Don't Forget, there are plenty of ways to make WordPress quicker that we did not make use of on our test site, like optimizing your content more efficiently and picking your plugins sensibly. Think about your initial site speed testing results as a baseline which may be improved in several of ways. Envato Chat Support
It is Also worth pointing out that though Envato Hosted does not prohibit using any specific plugins (like any other handled WordPress hosts), they do indicate avoiding caching plugins, even as Envato already employs server caching to all sites in their own platform. However, while Envato Hosted doesn't yet maintain their own content delivery network (CDN), you're free to make use of a third party CDN of your own choice — another popular way to speed up a WordPress website.
Testing The rate of a website and its own web host isn't as easy as it may seem. Running a manual test with a respectable service like Pingdom or GTmetrix can produce wildly varying outcomes from 1 minute to the next. To counteract this, for our tests, the superior Pingdom service was utilized to mechanically record the speed of the test website at 30-minute spans around the clock for seven days.
There Are numerous factors that could affect the load times of your site, including your choice of motif, which plugins you are using, which sort of content you're publishing, just how many visitors are trying to get your site at one period, and where these visitors are situated. However, these test results should provide you some idea of what to expect from Envato Hosted.

Statistics on Physics & Astronomy PhDs One Year After Degree
Richard Fienberg, AAS Press Officer
Patrick Mulvey of the American Institute of Physics (AIP) Statistical Research Center informs us of two new publications of interest to AAS members:
[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_original","fid":"5334","attributes":{"alt":"","class":"media-image","height":"287","style":"float: right;","typeof":"foaf:Image","width":"300"}}]]
The first report examines what new physics PhDs — including those with degress in astronomy or astrophysics — are doing the year after receiving their doctorates. New physics graduates follow two main initial career paths: they accept a temporary position (mostly postdocs) or accept a potentially permanent position. More than half (56%) of the new physics PhDs were employed in a postdoctoral fellowship in the winter following the year they received their degrees.
The second report shows that there is a strong relationship between the type of employment new PhDs accept and the sector in which they work. PhDs accepting postdocs were overwhelmingly employed in the academic sector, whereas the majority of PhDs accepting potentially permanent positions were employed in the private sector.
The data in both reports come from the annual AIP physics PhD follow-up survey of the classes of 2011 and 2012.
You can access both reports, as well as many others, at http://www.aip.org/statistics/reports

Our aestheticians use an antibacterial, antimicrobial, non-wax hair removal system that is recognized as the "gold standard" in hair removal. While the application is similar to waxing, this process removes the hair shaft instead of breaking the hair off the way depilatories, waxing, and tweezing do.

Review – Lavendersun Baby & Toddler Clothing
One of my guilty pleasures when it comes to having children is dressing them. I used to love shopping for clothes for myself but now it's all about the kids. I love scouring the Internet for cute tops for them to wear or putting together certain items to make a cute outfit. Little Man is more picky now about what he wears but I can still pick out cute outfits for Little Lady.
So what do I look for when buying clothes for the kids? The main thing is comfort and this is especially the case for Little Lady. She is a bum shuffler and dresses and skirts don't work well for her as they get stuck under her legs when she is moving around. We all know how nice it is to get home and get our comfies on after a long day so I want the kids to feel the same in the clothes they are wearing. I obviously like them to look nice too and I'm a sucker for a slogan top or one with a cute print.
We have been trying out a couple of outfits from Lavendersun. They provide baby and toddler clothing which doesn't break the bank but it is a bit different too. One thing I really liked about their website when picking out some outfits for Little Lady was their Outfits section. They sort of do the hard work for you and pair together tops and bottoms for you. I really like to be able to buy a whole outfit in one go. I chose the Mama is my Bestie set and then Wild Child set.
The Mama is my Bestie set came with a white top and black bottoms and looks adorable. It is a little big for Little Lady at the moment but she still looks super cute in it. I really like the monochrome look on her.
If you read my blog a lot you will know that Little Lady is my own little wild child so the Wild Child set suited her perfectly! It is bright and colourful and I really liked the print of the leggings. It came with a super cute hair band too.
Both outfits feel good quality and they washed well which when a toddler is wearing them is a huge plus point. I really liked the baby clothes we received from Lavendersun and would highly recommend them if you are looking for some clothes for your little ones.
These outfits were sent to me in return for an honest review. All opinions are 100% my own.

Amos Oz: Who Will Succeed Peres' 'Essential' Pursuit of Peace?
The prize-winning novelist, in his graveside eulogy to statesman Shimon Peres, challenges Israeli leaders to pursue the unfinished business of resolving decades of conflict with the Palestinians.
Prize-winning Israeli author Amos Oz called on Friday for Israel to pursue Shimon Peres' legacy of seeking peace with the Palestinians, but wondered at who might be the "brave leaders" able to do so.
Read more on Shimon Peres: How Shimon Peres built Israel's nuclear program | In death, Peres got one last win | Peres pursued peace for sake of Israel's values, and Palestinians' dignity | Hawk to dove, pro-settlements to pro-peace: Shimon Peres was it all | The countless contradictions of the late and great Shimon Peres
In his graveside eulogy at Peres' funeral, Oz said:
"Peace is not only possible. It is essential, because we have nowhere to go from here, and the Palestinians also have nowhere to go from here. There is no alternative to dividing this house into two apartments and to turn it into a two-family house.
"Where are the brave leaders who will stand up and make these things a reality? Where are Shimon Peres' successors?," Oz said.
"True, on occasion Shimon was tripped up and faltered, but when he faltered, it happened because he was looking towards the stars," the writer added.
"There are those who say that peace is impossible, but it is essential and unavoidable," Oz said.

Counterparty Exchange Wiki – Join Now! – The Affluence Network
We would like to thank you for coming to us in search of "Counterparty Exchange Wiki" online. As one of the earliest forms of making money is in money financing, it is a fact that you could do this with cryptocurrency. Most of the financing websites now focus on business of Bitcoin, but I am sure there will be one or two who will already have arrived in/nearby that will give other currencies. Some websites are now outside: valves: these are websites where you fill in a captcha after a particular time period and are rewarded with a small number of coins for that faucet. You can visit the www.cryptofunds.co web site to find some lists of tap into the currency of your choice in the Knowledge Base section. Some websites of tap include: Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have very different dynamics. The new ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have a lot of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have rather inferior liquidity too. How to produce a decent strategy and analyze it in the light of these complications? Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in a similar way, but in addition they take part in more complicated smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of folks consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables advanced dispute arbitration services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment systems, the blockchain always leaves public proof a transaction happened. This can be potentially used within an appeal against companies with deceptive practices. This mining activity validates and records the transactions across the entire network. So if you're trying to do something prohibited, it is not wise because everything is recorded in the public register for the remainder of the world to see forever.
Counterparty Exchange Wiki – Don't Leave Your Wallet Without It: The Affluence Network
You may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. When you commence to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you get the uptrend will never go lower! Always will go down! You will discover that incremental benefits are more reliable and profitable (most times) It should be difficult to get more little gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the best way to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be accurate: having little gains is more lucrative than attempting to resist up to the summit. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to have a look at novels than wait for order confirmation when you think the cost is going down. Second, there's more unpredictability and reward in currencies that haven't made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz. technology due to the many benefits associated with that. That is why the new technology is about to shift the world from the way we see it today. Bitcoins opened the door through use of Blockchains as the first cryptocurency. Ethereum is widening the horizon in the field of smart contracts. It is definitely possible, but it must be able to comprehend opportunities irrespective of market behavior.

The physical Internet backbone that carries data between the different nodes of the network is now the work of several companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies that provide long-distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local pipe, which finally connects in homes and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through one of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP operates its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and sometimes by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and companies who desire to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network causes it to be possible for the data to flow without interruption, in the right location at the right time.
While none of these organizations "possesses" the Internet collectively these businesses determine how it works, and established rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that's happening to determine how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for example, one needs permission from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to attach to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to work with the issue and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to call to get it mended. If the issue is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which govern the manner in which these problems are worked out.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not regulated by any centralized company. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that's something that as a committed promoter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet operates. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works current constitutional difficulties to an individual. Blockchain technology has none of that. A lot of people choose to use a currency deflation, particularly those who want to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Financial solitude, for example, is great for political activists, but more problematic as it pertains to political campaign financing. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in commerce; in case you are living paycheck to paycheck, it'd happen included in your riches, with the remainder allowed for other currencies. For most users of cryptocurrencies it is not crucial to comprehend how the procedure functions in and of itself, but it's simply vital that you comprehend that there's a procedure for mining to create virtual currency. Unlike monies as we know them today where Governments and banks can just choose to print endless amounts (I am not saying they are doing so, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining program, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation. Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, yet, if growth is too fast, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could rise dramatically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under such a scenario, the whole platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the raising costs of running distributed programs. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can lead to a negative change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based company that could result in company being unable to continue to manage or to discontinue operation. You've probably noticed this often where you frequently distribute the great word about crypto. "It's not volatile? What happens when the cost accidents? " So far, several POS devices provides free conversion of fiat, alleviating some concern, but before the volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, most people will soon be hesitant to put up any. We need to find a method to struggle the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies. If you are looking for Counterparty Exchange Wiki, look no further than TAN.

Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are put into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what produces more of the coin. It may be useful to think of the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are just the same. Mining crypto coins means you will really get to keep the full benefits of your efforts, but this reduces your likelihood of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a higher potential for solving a block, but the reward will be divided between all members of the pool, predicated on the number of "shares" won.
If you are thinking about going it alone, it really is worth noting the software configuration for solo mining can be more complicated than with a swimming pool, and beginners would be likely better take the latter route. This alternative also creates a secure stream of earnings, even if each payment is small compared to entirely block the reward. In the event of the fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it could actually be exchanged as a commodity. Advocates of cryptocurrencies announce that form of personal money is not managed with a key banking system and is not therefore subject to the vagaries of its inflation. Because there are always a limited variety of items, this moneyis worth is founded on market forces, allowing owners to business over cryptocurrency deals. Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you take a look at a particular address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there's no digital information held in it, like in exactly the same manner a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It really is simply a representation of worth, but there isn't any actual palpable kind of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal constraints imposed on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can decide how their riches will be managed. The wonder of the cryptocurrencies is that fraud was proved an impossibility: as a result of dynamics of the method in which it's transacted. All purchases over a crypto currency blockchain are permanent. Once youare paid, you get paid. This isn't something short-term where your visitors could dispute or demand a discounts, or employ unethical sleight of hand. In-practice, many dealers would be wise to work with a payment processor, because of the permanent dynamics of crypto currency dealings, you need to make certain that safety is tricky. With any type of crypto currency whether it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or some of the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers might gain access to your private secrets and therefore grab your money. Sadly, you most likely can never have it back. It is quite crucial for you to follow some great secure and safe methods when coping with any cryptocurrency. Doing this may protect you from most of these unfavorable events.

Why Do You Need Flood Insurance?

Also, many homeowners believe that because they are not in a "flood zone" a flood can't happen to them. Floods can happen anywhere - even in areas not know to be susceptible to flood. In most cases flood insurance, for the amount of coverage provided, is relatively inexpensive.

By Sports Editor Russell Bennett
There's a famous quote that sums up everything Bobbie Lee Blay believes in.
The head trainer at the Kilcunda Bass Football Club and a mother figure to so many throughout the Gippsland football community has long believed in those famous words spoken by Nelson Mandela: "Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way little else can. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair … "
It's through sport in the Gippsland community that Bobbie Lee has forged so many relationships that will last a lifetime, and it's many of those same people throughout the region who have stood by her in recent weeks in her darkest hour.
Earlier this year, Bobbie Lee's beloved daughter Macey was killed in car crash on a quiet Gippsland road. She was just 27.
The impact of her loss has been felt far and wide, but through the pain – through the grief – a shining light emerged for Bobbie Lee and her family: the wider Gippsland footy community wrapping its arms around them right when they've needed it most.
In the minutes prior to the Round 1 WGFNC clash between Kilcunda Bass and Phillip Island at Bass recently, the two sides came together – arm-in-arm – around Bobbie Lee. This was bigger than sport.
In most clubs in the region, there are players, coaches, or support staff members who Bobbie Lee shares a lasting friendship with – and two of those players are Phillip Island leaders Jaymie Youle, and coach Beau Vernon.
Youle spoke to members of both clubs, standing in the middle of the ground, prior to the first bounce of 'Macey's Match'.
"I have known Bobbie for a good 15 years, back to when she played mum to our Gippsland Power group, and have considered her a very dear friend ever since," he said.
"Almost two months ago Bobbie's daughter Macey sadly passed away in a car accident. I knew Macey from when she was a little kid running around at our feet at training with her cheeky little smile – always wanting to have a kick with us.
"She turned into a beautiful woman in every regard, who was also known to many people from both clubs.
"So because of that today our two clubs come together in unity to throw our love and support behind Bob, who has supported so many people around local footy for over 20 years.
"I hope this can provide some closure for you and your family, Bob, and we will do you and Macey proud."
This year, Bobbie Lee has taken on an expanded role in footy, and the community more generally. She has taken on a role with the WGFNC; another with the Western Bulldogs; and another – crucially – in the sphere of mental health and player welfare with 'Outside The Locker Room', an awareness, education, and outreach program for both adolescents and adults on critical community issues.
Developed in partnership with mental health and youth services experts and delivered in local sporting clubs, schools and community groups via a series of interactive workshops over a 12-month period, it provides participants with information and resources on issues such as suicide, depression and anxiety, gambling, drug and alcohol education, inclusion and respect, and social media and cyber bullying.
It fits, hand in glove, with Bobbie Lee's nurturing spirit.
She reflected recently about just how tough her start to 2019 has been.
"It's been hard – terrible," she said.
"I wouldn't wish it upon my own worst enemy, really.
"I wouldn't want anyone to go through what I've gone through, but at the end of the day I'm not the only one who's suffering and going through it. I think you have to consciously make a choice to try and move forward.
"A lot of people have no words for what's happened, so they have to show how they're feeling in one way or another. I think a lot of the time people's actions are very powerful. It can be just a look, or a hug, and the other week before the Phillip Island game was a great symbol of how people are feeling.
"Everything I've done and that I've been through has helped me to move forward in the past few weeks and I totally own that.
"I looked around the circle before the game against the Island and I just couldn't have wanted any more from the day. It's the best memory – it was just perfect.
"I had to give back to Macey – it was my way to give back after all my footy involvement.
"I couldn't have asked for more from the day, and I wouldn't have wanted more.
"It's not closure, but it was a reinforcement of who's there for me.
"I think the three of us – Jaymie, Beau, and myself – were able to say that it doesn't matter who you are or where you come from. In our community, people will be there for you in your time of need.
"Footy is family – bringing people together, and playing a game that is genuinely community-based.
"With events like last weekend's, we can stand together as one. It doesn't matter what jumper you're wearing or your background or culture. It's irrelevant on days like that.
"Maybe in that way Macey had more power than I realised."

Dating site pics without signup
Dating site pics without signup - How to make a sexchat
Pitches itself as the site to go to for 'serious, lasting relationships' and marriage – which may well be refreshing to some in the current dating climate.Psychologists and dating experts guide you through each step of the process – including messaging, which is somewhat structured and scripted – and there's an anonomisation function for calling.
However, perhaps controversially, arguably this is more of a pro than a con – as the saying goes, opposites attract!e Harmony is another massive player, with 3 million users signed up.But size isn't everything – as anyone who has just wrapped up a three-hour swiping session on Tinder will attest.A one step Facebook log-in process leads on to a few simple questions (the most obvious – height, kids, whether you drink or smoke), a description and a photo – then you are in. To use the site fully – sending unlimited messages to other members – payment is required.You can browse a selection of pictures and ages before logging in, anything more specific requires you to become a member. As with many free or low-cost sites, ads can be frequent and feel spammy.Some find this a barrier to join, fans say it weeds out the casual chancer from those truly looking for love – and means you don't have to wait to broach tricky topics.
Pricier – it's £44.95 for a month, but that drops to £12.95 per month if you sign up for a year.
However, they do have a live help service at their homepage to talk you through joining.
Pros: Uses compatibility testing to match you with someone who shares the same worldview as you.
And there's no sense in ruling someone out for reasons that may become insignificant once you've met in real life.
'Only show me people without children' 'Only show me men over 6ft 1in' 'Only show me vegetarians' 'Only show me people who don't want kids' The tick-boxes on many dating sites are a common part of the structure of the sites – and people often fill them in and make their choices quickly, based on in-the-moment gut feeling, prejudice or a past bad experience.
Pros: Free to join and to have limited contact with members.

Violation of this policy is grounds for permanent suspension of your account(s) from the ECC systems.
Screenlockers and logging out
Users are reminded that if they leave the ECC for more than 15 minutes, they are required to log out of the workstation they are using. This is for their own protection (if they don't log out, someone might delete or alter their files) and to make the workstation available for other users to use.

As tourists, we're often wary of venturing too far off of the well-worn path. Macao, however, is one destination that warrants a wander, walking in and out of laneways and exploring the many communities by foot. It is this way that a visitor is most likely to find true hidden gems of cafes, shops, and local treasures.
Macao Peninsula is host to most of the major attractions in all of Macao. The Ruins of the Church of St. Paul, Guia Fortress & Guia Chapel, Monte Fort… of course, these are must-see attractions. Their beauty and history say so much about what influences have shaped the culture of Macao. But in between each of the major attractions are wonderful walkways. Take The Street of Happiness, or Rua da Felicidade, for example. This small street is minutes from the famed Senado Square and Sir Robert Ho Tung Library. But it is here where some of the best cafes are hidden. Similarly, the Ruins of St. Paul is a landmark itself. But the district as a whole is a haven for souvenir shopping. Duck in and out of the alleys to find shops selling knick-knacks, antiques, and local handicrafts. In fact, one of Macao's best flea markets is tucked away a few streets beyond the Ruins of St. Paul's.
Taipa Village, an island of only 7 square kilometres, has undergone a renaissance. Today, food and art aficionados have flocked here to transform this fishing village into a hub of craft in all forms. Here, three of Macao's Michelin-starred restaurants find their home, along with the famed Lord Stow's Bakery. A leisurely walk along Rua do Regedor presents you with more dining options than you can imagine in such a small space - and each is remarkably delicious. At night, bold flavours continue flowing in the form of drinks. Pop in and out of the popular pubs, most of which create a casual, welcoming environment that make all visitors feel at home.
Beyond Taipa and Cotai is Coloane, another small island. A handful of historical landmarks dot the map of Coloane, but what makes this island stand out to us are the natural features. The Southeast Coast of Coloane Island has a short family-friendly trail where visitors get the chance to take in striking views of both mountains and the sea. Hac-Sa Beach provides a bit of serenity. While it has black sand and may be too narrow for a proper sunbake, this beach creates an oasis for visitors who crave a bit of a break from the most popular attractions.
While Macao is small in surface area, it is dense and full of heart. So much life is packed into each walkable street, no matter how small. It is a beautiful region to explore with fascinating, historic, or tasty surprises in every corner.

How can Home Care Services help you out?
As per a research conducted by the Health and Retirement Study, the advancing years make both men and women look for help from external sources, even for carrying out day to day activities. By the time when one is around 85 years of age, as many as 66% of the women and 32% of men stop driving. They also have to overcome several other limitations. They need regular assistance in carryout diverse activities. The same study also focused on the mental health and strength of the seniors. There are many seniors in Ireland who do suffer from frequent bouts of depression. Thus it is necessary to keep a watch over them and provide them with the necessary bit of home care assistance.
The depression is mainly caused by the fact that they struggle to carry out the basic functions. People also tend to remain depresses on account of an illness that they suffer from. The seniors are de-motivated by the fact that they tend to lose their independence and their mobility is also affected. While you are looking to appoint people who can render home help services,it is necessary that they are trained to:
Supervise the activities of the seniors on a regular basis
Maintain a safe and secure environment at home
Encourage brain-stimulating activities
Managing a change in behaviour of the elderly
Make arrangements for preparing nutritious meals
