Different Materials for Making Gloves
Gloves are used to cover the hands and may have an extended part that covers the forearm. There are many forms of gloves including leather and fabric gloves, mail gloves as well as plate armor gloves. Armored gloves are at most times used by knights and soldiers. They were used since the hands were highly vulnerable to hand to hand combats when they were working. The armored glove has an inbuilt knuckle duster that became pronounced when the hand has been bunched into a fist. With that, the user can use it as a weapon for protection purpose while preventing the hand from damage when one is punching. Armored gloves can also be used on leather gloves used by motorcyclists as well as on nylon mittens used by snowmobile drivers.
Armored gloves can be made using a number of materials depending on their use. Ironworker gloves are an important part of their protective gear together with the boots that have a slip-resistant sole. Most of the ironworker gloves have a long palm design, there are also knuckle strap as well as gauntlet cuff that has been well stitched to promise for their safety while working so

. There are also cold weather grips gloves that are also armored for protecting one from cold. Cold weather grip gloves should be air to trap some air which helps create a thermal barrier which helps in maintaining some warmth inside the gloves and this will ensure the arms are warm at all times. Oilfield gloves should be able to protect the hands when working with oils, chemicals, and solvents.
When looking for suitable gloves to use for any activity, one should consider the type of material used in making the specific glove needed. Some of the materials used include cotton and fabric gloves, coated fabric gloves, plastic, rubber or synthetic glove, leather gloves, aluminized gloves, Kevlar gloves among others. Cotton and fabric gloves ensure that the hands remain clean as well as being protected from abrasion although they are not suitable for rough work. Coated fabric gloves help in protecting one from concentrated chemicals more so in a laboratory setting. Plastic, rubber and synthetic gloves are used when one is working with solvents, chemicals, and oils and is suitable for making the oilfield work gloves. Leather gloves are most suitable when one is working in a welding station since they are highly resistant to heats and sparks as well as cuts. Aluminized

are highly suitable for making the ironworker gloves since they are able to offer protection through insulation. Kevlar groups are highly resistant to cuts and abrasion and can protect one form cold and heat.

A THRILLED mum and dad have announced the birth of their son and his bizarre name in a German newspaper.
Proud parents Alexandra and Gunther spelt it out with a baby bluecolour advert.
The announcement reads: "The small Akaka now has a little brother! Brexit!"
Whether it is a hoax remains unclear, but it still wouldn't be the most worrying baby name trend of 2016.
Enter Jigglypuff…
The name of the Pokemon anime's main character, Ash, has been getting traction among little boys.
Unusual names including Eevee, Roselia and Onyx are on the rise for girls compared with last year.
But names including Star, Ivy and Shay, are on the rise.
These names pay homage to the Pokemon creatures Starmie, Ivysaur and Shaymin.
It might be further proof that the geeks shall inherit the Earth – in 2014 there was a spike in Anakins and some kids have even been named Mac and Siri.
Lifelong proof to these children that you can choose your friends, but you're stuck with your folks.
But even these names pale when compared to the staggering foresight of naming your kids after Game of Thrones characters.
Here is our call at Champion Dads – Game of Thrones will date very badly.
History (and by this we mean our children) will not be kind to us for our obsession with white walkers and dragons.
There were 244 Arya's born in Britain last year. Fair enough , a beautiful name.
More worryingly, there were 53 Khaleesis.
We predict many will be simply "Kelly" by the time they reach preschool.

Lucifer Recap and Review: "Infernal Guinea Pig"
In this week's episode of Lucifer, Chloe puts her life in danger for someone who later becomes Abel and Lucifer and Pierce continue on with their plan of trying to rid Pierce of his curse, only for Lucifer to go back on his word in the end.
The episode starts with Lucifer explaining his plan to Pierce, which involves badly drawn stick figures and resurrecting Abel's soul into someone else's body, much like when Mum came to earth and took over Charlotte Richards' body. Later, Lucifer flies down to Hell (using those wings he can't get rid of) and ends up accidentally displacing Abel's soul by putting it in a young woman's body rather than the old man they were planning to put him in. Problem is, this woman, Bree, is involved with the case of the week and Abel still thinks he's in Hell.
For this week's police investigation, a bomb goes off downtown leaving one dead body and one victim in critical condition, the second being the body Abel ends up in. Lucifer ends up working with Pierce for this episode and Dan comes in as his replacement to work the case. The victim was apparently only the messenger of the bomb and the intended target was actually Alexa, a Hollywood producer. Or at least that's what the killer wanted us to think, who ends up being Alexa, in conjunction with the Bolivian cartel. After Chloe gets mixed up in Pierce, Abel, and Lucifer's business, Lucifer decides that he's no longer going to help Pierce kill himself because it put Chloe's life in danger, even though it was her choice to stay behind to help defuse the bomb.
But being that Abel doesn't know he's actually alive, he or rather she, walks off and Lucifer and Pierce are left left to look for her and enlist the help of Maze. From Maze, we learn that Abel is apparently a lot like Lucifer and they continue to look for him. But Amenadiel ends up finding her first because he's apparently been following Lucifer and wants Abel to go back to Hell, where he thinks she belongs.
Lucifer and Pierce eventually find Abel but only after she shoots at a Bolivian contractor, who was trying to kill her, and runs off again where Lucifer and Amenadiel butt heads once again. Later, they enlist the help of Maze (again) and she gets Abel to show up where she shoots at Pierce, only for him to not die, meaning that he's definitely still cursed.
Chloe and Dan finally find Bree, AKA Abel, who obviously doesn't remember anything about the crime/investigation, and they go back to Alexa's office where they fall right into Alexa's trap involving yet another bomb, where Chloe decides to stay back and help Bree/Abel get out of there alive, which evidently is how Chloe figures out that Alexa was the killer all along.
Meanwhile, Charlotte continues with her therapy sessions with Linda and is hesitant to share what she does remember, AKA what her Hell actually consisted of but is just trying to get Linda to help her recover her memory back, which I doubt is actually possible. Linda pushes her to open up about what she actually does remember. Later, Charlotte encounters Abel, who also went through Hell and sees that she isn't afraid to give up control, regardless of the fact that she's also been through Hell and Charlotte finally decides to open up to Dr Linda at the end of the episode.
We find out that her Hell consisted of her family getting murdered in front of her because of a past criminal client of hers. She, like Lucifer said to her before, felt more guilt, and ultimately fear, from knowingly representing guilty clients than she'd originally thought. This scene between Charlotte and Linda was brilliant and heartbreaking and was by far my favorite scene of the episode.
Overall, it was interesting to find out that both Abel and Pierce ended up in Hell, only Pierce's existed on earth. Maze and Amenadiel also encounter each other again where they ended up in a big fight scene, which didn't end up resulting in any type of resolution, which makes me wonder how long the writers will end up drawing this love triangle. After that brilliant scene between Charlotte and Linda, I'm excited to see whether or not Charlotte will be able to get custody, or at last partial custody, of her kids, especially now that we know how much her family really means to her. Also, despite the fact that Lucifer decided not to help Pierce anymore, I'm still guessing that we're going to follow through with this story because I don't think the writers will leave us hanging like that.

AAA Western and Central New York has recognized the Fulton Police Department for its continued success in AAA's Community Traffic Safety Program. AAA's Platinum Award was presented to Police Chief Orlo Green and Sergeant Joseph Pappalardo today in Fulton.
AAA's Community Traffic Safety Program is an awards and recognition program for communities of all sizes nationwide that identify and address their local traffic safety issues. The program considers basic crash statistics, presence of a traffic safety leadership group, programs, projects, and their effectiveness. The awards progress from Honorable Mention to Bronze, Silver, Gold, and to the highest level, Platinum.
Fulton received its third Platinum Award, given to communities that not only demonstrate outstanding success in addressing local traffic safety issues, but show a clear trend of improvement over five years and/or provide data that is substantially better than the statewide data for communities of similar size. In eight years of participation, Fulton has also received five Gold Awards.
"The City of Fulton has shown incredible leadership in developing workable solutions that have saved lives and property,†said Wally Smith, Vice President of AAA Western and Central New York. "We are delighted to give recognition to their continued efforts that have advanced the cause of traffic safety.â€Â
Fulton demonstrated success with programs addressing: drunk and impaired driving; aggressive, unsafe and distracted driving behaviors; speeding; occupant protection and child passenger safety; school bus and school zone safety; pedestrian safety; and work zone safety. Additionally, Fulton met the criteria for Platinum with their favorable statistics for pedestrian injuries and seat belt usage.
Only ten communities in New York State received top Platinum honors. In addition to Fulton, Platinum Awards were presented to Baldwinsville, Brockport, Camillus, East Syracuse, Garden City, New Rochelle, Port Washington, Tarrytown, and White Plains, NY. Participation in AAA's Community Traffic Safety Program is open to communities of all sizes nationwide.
As Upstate New York's largest member services organization, AAA provides nearly 880,000 members with travel, insurance, financial and automotive related services. Since its founding in 1900, AAA has been a leading advocate for the safety and security of all travelers. Visit AAA at www.AAA.com.

Caleb's eyes sparkled in the bright light of day. I studied his relaxed posture, resting back on both elbows, his hair ruffling in the breeze.
"I'm glad we came," he said.
I scooted closer and rolled onto my stomach, knees bent, feet swaying back and forth. "Me too."
He leaned onto his side and our gazes locked.
"Want to play a game?" I asked.
His lip curled into a grin. "Sure, what do you have in mind?"
"What's your favorite."
"That's the game." I could tell he hadn't played this before. "I'll start. Favorite color."
"Favorite movie."
"Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back."
"Wow. Usually that one takes some thought." I picked at a loose thread on the blanket. "Okay, next question. Favorite food."
"Chicken parmigiana."
I sighed. "I should've known that one. Okay."
"Wait," he interrupted. "What about you? Don't I get to ask you any questions?"
I tilted my head to get a better view of his glowing face. "Green. Labyrinth. Cheesecake."
"Isn't cheesecake considered a dessert?"
"Yes, but it's still a food."
He played with the curls hanging around my shoulders. "I love when you wear your hair like this."
"Really?" My hair was a frizzy mess, half-up, half-down and all over the place. He twirled a finger into my hair, playing with the curls. The brush of his finger against my neck made my little game seem unimportant. A streak of boldness hit me and I asked something a little bit more daring. "What's your favorite part of a girl?" My heart pounded when he gave me a sexy smile.
He untangled his hand from my hair and trailed it down my back. "This."
"My back?"
He shook his head. "No, this curve right here, that leads right there." He touched the patch of skin that connected my back to my butt, his fingers trailing the top of my jeans.
His eyes narrowed into a sexy glance, one that made my toes curl.
I leaned over, my heart pounding, and kissed him, then inched across the blanket until I was directly beside him and kissed him again, drawing him closer with my hand.
Caleb's lips were soft and full. I loved the way he cradled me in his arms, never too hard. I'd made out with a few boys, but none of them could stand a chance against Caleb's hot kiss.
From this position, I couldn't move my arms or hands, and I wanted to be closer. With my lips still locked on his, I shifted into a sitting position. The minute I moved, Caleb moved with me. One hand holding my face, the other grasped my waist, drawing me into his chest. Everything in me raced with bliss. My pulse sped, my heart jumped, and my mind only thought of one thing: more.

Login and Registration Issues
Why can't I log in?
Have you registered? Seriously, you must register in order to log in. Have you been banned from the board? (A message will be displayed if you have.) If so, you should contact the webmaster or board administrator to find out why. If you have registered and are not banned and you still cannot log in then check and double-check your username and password. Usually this is the problem; if not, contact the board administrator -- they may have incorrect configuration settings for the board.
Why do I need to register at all?
You may not have to -- it is up to the administrator of the board as to whether you need to register in order to post messages. However, registration will give you access to additional features not available to guest users such as definable avatar images, private messaging, e-mailing to fellow users, usergroup subscription, etc. It only takes a few minutes to register so it is recommended you do so.
Why do I get logged off automatically?
If you do not check the
Log me in automatically
box when you log in, the board will only keep you logged in for a preset time. This prevents misuse of your account by anyone else. To stay logged in, check the box during login. This is not recommended if you access the board from a shared computer, e.g. library, internet cafe, university cluster, etc.
How do I prevent my username from appearing in the online user listings?
In your profile you will find an option
Hide your online status
; if you switch this
you'll only appear to board administrators or to yourself. You will be counted as a hidden user.
I've lost my password!
Don't panic! While your password cannot be retrieved it can be reset. To do this go to the login page and click
I've forgotten my password
. Follow the instructions and you should be back online in no time.
I registered but cannot log in!
First check that you are entering the correct username and password. If they are okay then one of two things may have happened: if COPPA support is enabled and you clicked the
I am under 13 years old
link while registering then you will have to follow the instructions you received. If this is not the case then maybe your account need activating. Some boards will require all new registrations be activated, either by yourself or by the administrator before you can log on. When you registered it would have told you whether activation was required. If you were sent an e-mail then follow the instructions; if you did not receive the e-mail then check that your e-mail address is valid. One reason activation is used is to reduce the possibility of
users abusing the board anonymously. If you are sure the e-mail address you used is valid then try contacting the board administrator.
I registered in the past but cannot log in anymore!
The most likely reasons for this are: you entered an incorrect username or password (check the e-mail you were sent when you first registered) or the administrator has deleted your account for some reason. If it is the latter case then perhaps you did not post anything? It is usual for boards to periodically remove users who have not posted anything so as to reduce the size of the database. Try registering again and get involved in discussions.
User Preferences and settings
How do I change my settings?
All your settings (if you are registered) are stored in the database. To alter them click the
link (generally shown at the top of pages but this may not be the case). This will allow you to change all your settings.
The times are not correct!
The times are almost certainly correct; however, what you may be seeing are times displayed in a timezone different from the one you are in. If this is the case, you should change your profile setting for the timezone to match your particular area, e.g. London, Paris, New York, Sydney, etc. Please note that changing the timezone, like most settings, can only be done by registered users. So if you are not registered, this is a good time to do so, if you pardon the pun!
I changed the timezone and the time is still wrong!
If you are sure you have set the timezone correctly and the time is still different, the most likely answer is daylight savings time (or summer time as it is known in the UK and other places). The board is not designed to handle the changeovers between standard and daylight time so during summer months the time may be an hour different from the real local time.
My language is not in the list!
The most likely reason is that Forumotion has not yet been translated into your language. If you have the opportunity and would like to help the community, please feel free to contact Forumotion support to offer your help in translating the service into your language.
How do I show an image below my username?
There may be two images below a username when viewing posts. The first is an image associated with your rank; generally these take the form of stars or blocks indicating how many posts you have made or your status on the forums. Below this may be a larger image known as an avatar; this is generally unique or personal to each user. It is up to the board administrator to enable avatars and they have a choice over the way in which avatars can be made available. If you are unable to use avatars then this is the decision of the board admin and you should ask them their reasons (we're sure they'll be good!)
How do I change my rank?
In general you cannot directly change the wording of any rank (ranks appear below your username in topics and on your profile depending on the style used). Most boards use ranks to indicate the number of posts you have made and to identify certain users. For example, moderators and administrators may have a special rank. Please do not abuse the board by posting unnecessarily just to increase your rank -- you will probably find the moderator or administrator will simply lower your post count.
When I click the e-mail link for a user it asks me to log in.
Sorry, but only registered users can send e-mail to people via the built-in e-mail form (if the admin has enabled this feature). This is to prevent malicious use of the e-mail system by anonymous users.
Posting Issues
How do I post a topic in a forum?
Easy -- click the relevant button on either the forum or topic screens. You may need to register before you can post a message. The facilities available to you are listed at the bottom of the forum and topic screens (the
You can post new topics, You can vote in polls, etc.
How do I edit or delete a post?
Unless you are the board admin or forum moderator you can only edit or delete your own posts. You can edit a post (sometimes for only a limited time after it was made) by clicking the
button for the relevant post. If someone has already replied to the post, you will find a small piece of text output below the post when you return to the topic that lists the number of times you edited it. This will only appear if no one has replied; it also will not appear if moderators or administrators edit the post (they should leave a message saying what they altered and why). Please note that normal users cannot delete a post once someone has replied.
How do I add a signature to my post?
To add a signature to a post you must first create one; this is done via your profile. Once created you can check the
Add Signature
box on the posting form to add your signature. You can also add a signature by default to all your posts by checking the appropriate radio box in your profile. You can still prevent a signature being added to individual posts by un-checking the add signature box on the posting form.
How do I create a poll?
Creating a poll is easy -- when you post a new topic (or edit the first post of a topic, if you have permission) you should see a
Add Poll
form below the main posting box. If you cannot see this then you probably do not have rights to create polls. You should enter a title for the poll and then at least two options -- to set an option type in the poll question and click the
Add option
button. You can also set a time limit for the poll, 0 being an infinite amount. There will be a limit to the number of options you can list, which is set by the board administrator
How do I edit or delete a poll?
As with posts, polls can only be edited by the original poster, a moderator, or board administrator. To edit a poll, click the first post in the topic, which always has the poll associated with it. If no one has cast a vote then users can delete the poll or edit any poll option. However, if people have already placed votes only moderators or administrators can edit or delete it; this is to prevent people rigging polls by changing options mid-way through a poll
Why can't I access a forum?
Some forums may be limited to certain users or groups. To view, read, post, etc. you may need special authorization which only the forum moderator and board administrator can grant, so you should contact them.
Why can't I vote in polls?
Only registered users can vote in polls so as to prevent spoofing of results. If you have registered and still cannot vote then you probably do not have appropriate access rights.
Formatting and Topic Types
What is BBCode?
BBCode is a special implementation of HTML. Whether you can use BBCode is determined by the administrator. You can also disable it on a per post basis from the posting form. BBCode itself is similar in style to HTML: tags are enclosed in square braces [ and ] rather than < and > and it offers greater control over what and how something is displayed. For more information on BBCode see the guide which can be accessed from the posting page.
Can I use HTML?
That depends on whether the administrator allows you to; they have complete control over it. If you are allowed to use it, you will probably find only certain tags work. This is a
feature to prevent people from abusing the board by using tags which may destroy the layout or cause other problems. If HTML is enabled you can disable it on a per post basis from the posting form.
What are Smileys?
Smileys, or Emoticons, are small graphical images which can be used to express some feeling using a short code, e.g. :) means happy, :( means sad. The full list of emoticons can be seen via the posting form. Try not to overuse smileys, though, as they can quickly render a post unreadable and a moderator may decide to edit them out or remove the post altogether.
Can I post Images?
Images can indeed be shown in your posts. However, there is no facility at present for uploading images directly to this board. Therefore you must link to an image stored on a publicly accessible web server, e.g. https://www.some-unknown-place.net/my-picture.gif. You cannot link to pictures stored on your own PC (unless it is a publicly accessible server) nor to images stored behind authentication mechanisms such as Hotmail or Yahoo mailboxes, password-protected sites, etc. To display the image use either the BBCode [img] tag or appropriate HTML (if allowed).
What are Announcements?
Announcements often contain important information and you should read them as soon as possible. Announcements appear at the top of every page in the forum to which they are posted. Whether or not you can post an announcement depends on the permissions required, which are set by the administrator.
What are Sticky topics?
Sticky topics appear below any announcements in viewforum and only on the first page. They are often quite important so you should read them where possible. As with announcements the board administrator determines what permissions are required to post sticky topics in each forum.
What are Locked topics?
Locked topics are set this way by either the forum moderator or board administrator. You cannot reply to locked topics and any poll contained inside is automatically ended. Topics may be locked for many reasons.
User Levels and Groups
What are Administrators?
Administrators are people assigned the highest level of control over the entire board. These people can control all facets of board operation which include setting permissions, banning users, creating usergroups or moderators, etc. They also have full moderator capabilities in all the forums.
What are Moderators?
Moderators are individuals (or groups of individuals) whose job it is to look after the running of the forums from day to day. They have the power to edit or delete posts and lock, unlock, move, delete and split topics in the forum they moderate. Generally moderators are there to prevent people going
or posting abusive or offensive material.
What are Usergroups?
Usergroups are a way in which board administrators can group users. Each user can belong to several groups (this differs from most other boards) and each group can be assigned individual access rights. This makes it easy for administrators to set up several users as moderators of a forum, or to give them access to a private forum, etc.
How do I join a Usergroup?
To join a usergroup click the usergroup link on the page header (dependent on template design) and you can then view all usergroups. Not all groups are
open access
-- some are closed and some may even have hidden memberships. If the board is open then you can request to join it by clicking the appropriate button. The user group moderator will need to approve your request; they may ask why you want to join the group. Please do not pester a group moderator if they turn your request down -- they will have their reasons.
How do I become a Usergroup Moderator?
Usergroups are initially created by the board administrator who also assigns a board moderator. If you are interested in creating a usergroup then your first point of contact should be the administrator, so try dropping them a private message.
Private Messaging
I cannot send private messages!
There are three reasons for this; you are not registered and/or not logged on, the board administrator has disabled private messaging for the entire board, or the board administrator has prevented you individually from sending messages. If it is the latter case you should try asking the administrator why.
I keep getting unwanted private messages!
In the future we will be adding an ignore list to the private messaging system. For now, though, if you keep receiving unwanted private messages from someone, inform the board administrator -- they have the power to prevent a user from sending private messages at all.
I have received a spamming or abusive e-mail from someone on this board!
We are sorry to hear that. The e-mail form feature of this board includes safeguards to try to track users who send such posts. You should e-mail the board administrator with a full copy of the e-mail you received and it is very important this include the headers (these list details of the user that sent the e-mail). They can then take action.

I am more than who you think I am.
Outwardly, I am sweet. I am kind. I am innocent and made of all the nice things. I am the self-appointed sunshine girl.
I like being cute. I like being kind and sweet.
But you do not understand --
Underneath I can roar.
Maybe I'm to blame. Maybe I have been a coward. Maybe I have not said what needs to be said. Maybe I have not stood up, not spoken out.
Maybe I've decided I like being nice more than I like being myself.
Maybe I've decided I like people to see me as honey rather than as something with a little more zing.
I am trying to take off my own edge.
I am begging, with my eyes and my soul and the way I walk around -- I am begging, Please love me.
There are so many things I have forgotten.
I have forgotten that I am beloved already. That Jesus calls me darling.
I have forgotten that it is possible to be kind and also to have a little edge.
I have forgotten that all the disciples were countercultural.
I have forgotten that I am beloved and brave, darling and daring, elegant and edgy.
I forget that because I am already loved, I don't have to ask anyone to love me.
I have forgotten that I can roar.
I can and I may.
I am fierce and I am fiery and I am honest and I am loud. I can say when things make me uncomfortable, and I can speak out when I see wrong, and I can refuse to back down/
I am also made of honey and cream. I can also be kind and spun of sunshine.
We are gentle as lambs, wise as snakes, brave as hobbits, and fierce as warriors.
We are paradoxes that are happening now.
To live this way is super hard, y'all. We are constantly forgetting, constantly having to remind ourselves.
Identity is stuck in a cycle of remembering and forgetting.
But we have hope.
May we remember, Jesus.
Help us to live like we know it's true.
Because it is.
We can, and we may, and we will.

Free Interpreting Service
The Free Interpreting Service aims to provide equitable access to key services, that are not government funded, for people with limited or no English language proficiency.
The Free Interpreting Service is delivered by TIS National, on behalf of the Department of Social Services.
Using the Free Interpreting Service is easy and convenient. It is quick and simple for service providers to register and they can be connected to a phone interpreter within a few minutes.
Eligible groups
The following groups can access the Free Interpreting Service to provide services to anyone in Australia who has a Medicare card:
- Private medical practitioners
- Pharmacies
- Non-government organisations
- Real estate agencies
- Local government authorities
- Trade unions
- Parliamentarians
Why use interpreters
Australia has a rich cultural diversity. The 2016 census revealed that Australians were born in almost 200 different countries and speak more than 300 languages.
The Free Interpreting Services helps eligible groups to communicate with clients who have limited or no English language proficiency. Using credentialed interpreters can facilitate better access to essential services for these clients and is particularly important for conversations in technical, legal or health contexts.
TIS National interpreters are bound by a professional code of ethics, which requires them to:
- interpret information accurately and honestly
- maintain confidentiality
- be impartial and objective
- act in a professional manner at all times.
TIS National's policy is to use the highest credentialed interpreter available. Requests for specific interpreters are not encouraged for this reason.
Services available
Eligible groups can use the Free Interpreting Service to access interpreting services delivered by TIS National, including:
- immediate phone interpreting
- pre-booked phone interpreting
- pre-booked onsite interpreting (not available to pharmacies or real estate agents)
Immediate phone interpreting is most useful for unplanned interactions. It provides:
- access to over 3000 interpreters in over 160 different languages
- interpreting services 24 hours a day 7 days a week
- connection to an interpreter within a few minutes of calling.
Pre-booked phone interpreting is useful for planned interactions, or if you know you need to request a less common language.
When phone interpreting is not suitable, TIS National can arrange an interpreter to arrive onsite for a face-to-face appointment. This may be important when you have a group of people needing the same language interpreter, when you are discussing complex ideas, or when you anticipate that the appointment will go for an extended period of time. Onsite interpreter bookings must be for a minimum of 90 minutes.
Register for a client code
Each eligible individual, group or organisation will need their own unique client code to access the service.
To register for a client code, eligible groups can complete the online client registration form on the TIS National website, or allow a few extra minutes the first time they use the service.
You can also register by contacting TIS National on 1300 575 847.
How to access the Free Interpreting Service
- Call TIS National on 131 450
- Provide the operator with the language of the interpreter that you need
- Provide your client code and the name of the organisation/practitioner/parliamentarian
- Request an interpreter of a particular gender, if required (subject to availability)
For more information
- Watch: videos about TIS National services and how to work with interpreters
- Order: free promotional materials from the TIS National catalogue
- Contact TIS National: on 1300 575 847 or at email@example.com

H&m Online Shopping
There are several online shopping spree based games on the internet which do a great job teaching kids about money, making change and keeping budgets, while practicing computer skills. Women & Men who want to be independent but cannot afford to leave their responsibilities at home aside will benefit a lot from this concept of work. When others join Blastoff through your site and shop from their own Blastoff shopping malls, you will receive commissions on their purchases. There are some phishing websites that indulge in fraud and fleece money from customers. So a customer might buy a wrist watch for $200 and on getting to the retail store of the particular online company the same product might be sold for $390 a piece. Karena awal pelanggan itu akan melihat tampilan website kita, apabila tampilan website kita gak meyakinkan maka, kredebelitas toko online kita akan jelek juga cuma gara-gara tampilan website yang kurang bagus dan menarik.
Using aggregators like and Yahoo Shopping is another good way to make sure your merchant doesn't take you for a fraudulent sleigh ride. Pizza Hut, surprising to many, was also one of the pioneers of e-commerce, with it providing an option of online ordering in one of its restaurants in California. Many people choose shopping online also because they can't stand that crowded and noisy environment. Don't do your online shopping from the local café, the airport or other public places. There have been many cases where people realized that their credit card number has been stolen and has been used by others. In a physical store, cash can be used, and if a debit or credit card is used the shopper gets to see who processes his or her card.
Online shopping is a unique concept in which the customers can easily seek all the information regarding a particular product with great ease. They may sound like a promo with a sure win concept but before getting your wonderful rewards, you should first fill out an online form.
More and more people shop online because they have discovered it is a good way to save time, energy, money and gas. Whether you need to hit upon a gorgeous gift for someone special or are looking to delight yourself you can buy it right here online via internet. If the quality of a product is not matching what was promised, you bet that the online shopping community will know all about it. There is no hiding place.
Finding a great deal in the UK doesn't have to be hard, and it doesn't mean you have to go over 20+ discount code and voucher sites either. One of the downsides of online shopping is the inability to 'try it on' or see the item before purchasing, so make sure your merchant offers you an easy way to return/refund your purchase if it's not what you expected. Prime reason for the immense success of this kind of shopping is the easy access to loads of information and simple procedures that appeal to today's generation. After starting in a Sydney garage just five years ago, Showpo is quickly becoming a big player in the online shopping scene.

This past weekend I brought our Tesla Model S to an Electric Vehicle Rally in Westport, Connecticut. The event featured a fun 40-mile scenic drive, guided by scavenger-hunt clues rather than driving directions. It was just the sort of event car enthusiasts of all stripes have long enjoyed, but with a green twist.
My 14-year-old son came along as navigator and photographer at the family-friendly gathering. About a dozen of the 33 participants were driving Tesla Model S's, with the rest of the group showing up with Chevrolet Volts, Ford C-Max Energis, Nissan Leafs, and Toyota Prius Plug-Ins. A couple of Smart EVs, a BMW Active E, Tesla roadster, and a Fisker Karma rounded out the pack. (Read our complete road test of the top-scoring Tesla Model S.)
For the Model S contingency, the rally itself turned out to be almost secondary. The main event was the excitement of seeing so many Teslas in one place and the chance to compare notes with other pioneering customers. When it became known that we were from Consumer Reports, some commented on our earlier blogs regarding the personal delivery, winter driving range, and windshield replacement. (Read our past Tesla posts.)
Discussions among owners revolved around the car's performance in the snow (which was pretty decent), its winter range, and whether or not we had gotten the 4.4 version of Tesla software pushed through the cloud (we had). It was hard to glean much info about maximum range and charging time, though, since most owners, it seems, have been charging overnight and not pushing the battery to its limits.
Tesla owner Jack Mandlebaum, visiting from Boston (some 150 miles from the rally site), topped off his car at Tesla's free "supercharger" station in nearby Milford the night before. Mentioning that our own winter-weather range had averaged about 180 miles, but now at a balmy 60-something degrees was around 220, Mandlebaum said "that sounds about right."
"I love the fact that this innovative car is all American" was a common theme among owners. Mr. Mandlebaum added that his buying decision was driven by "pure passion." Asked how he felt about going out on a limb with a start-up company, owner John Hennessey of Madison, CT—who replaced a Lexus GS with a Tesla—admitted that he's an early adopter of just about everything.
What were some of the other shared stories of the day? Well, another Model S owner showed me a windshield crack very similar to the one our car had had and added, "you know there are going to be some teething problems with a brand-new car from a brand-new company." One problem, Mr. Mandlebaum volunteered, is that he can't see going back to an internal-combustion car.
The overwhelming takeaway was that Model S owners love their cars and have a strong sense of pride. They particularly revel in the instant power delivery, near-silent gliding, and total freedom from gas stations which, to them, feels like a dirty and anachronistic thing. Driving a conversation piece is just icing on the cake.
For the record, the driver-navigator team in the BMW Active E actually won the rally with a perfect 37.5 miles on the odometer—the only criterion for victory. For Tesla owners, the rally felt more like a show of force and a confirmation that this car might be the tipping point for electric cars in general.
Check back with us in a couple of weeks for our full road test report on the Model S.

6 Day Environmental Adventure Day 3
Claire Coombe
Today we woke up to gorgeous sunshine and made the most of it with an early morning paddle along the river from Malpas. While some were kayaking, others were busy designing and silk screen printing t-shirts with Dena. In the afternoon Tristan returned and the last of the toasting forks were forged while others were taught the basics of stone carving.
This evening was the much anticipated cob oven pizza dinner. We worked in pairs to mix, roll and top our pizza dough and also made delicious crumbles with fruits harvested from the garden and foraged from the hedgerows. After dinner it time for team challenges before gathering round the campfire to christen the marshmallow toasting forks!

On September 22, we officially launched JerseyOn, a project of EveryoneOn. JerseyOn will work to eliminate the digital, economic, and academic divides by delivering access to high-speed low-cost home Internet, affordable computers, and digital literacy training for the thousands of unconnected people in New Jersey. "It's like not having running water or electricity," said JerseyOn Chair Josh Gottheimer. Not having Internet is a huge barrier to success in today's economy. Teachers integrate technology into the classroom and employers look for digital literacy skills in potential hires. Students with home Internet have a seven percent higher graduation rate. Those without home access aren't on the same playing field.
The event took place at Lincoln High School in Jersey City. Lincoln High received a U.S. Department of Education School Improvement Grant to integrate technology into their classrooms. While this has had visible effects, it isn't enough, especially when so many students can only access the Internet while at school. Once they go home, they're unconnected again. At the launch, many of the students spoke of the hardships of not having connectivity once they leave school grounds.
"While the school district is able to provide Internet access and laptops during the day, we realize many students do not have Internet access at home. JerseyOn is providing a low-cost solution to help meet this demand," said Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop.
Traveling around this state these past few months and meeting with schools, municipalities, parents, and students has shown me how needed we are. In Jersey City, students are thrilled with the possibility of doing homework at home. In Salem County parents couldn't believe that we could actually bring connectivity to the area at a reasonable price. In East Orange the Employment Services were happy to have a tool to help the unemployed get back on their feet. And in suburbs in Bergen and Morris Counties, families who felt like their kids were the only ones without connectivity have the chance to allow their children to compete at the same level as their peers. The needs of each community vary, and we are excited to work with each one to find what best fits them. Together with our service providers we are able to find solutions for everyone.

Bhubaneswar: While the world is grappling with one of world's gravest menace of child labour, several organisation in association with Odisha government yesterday organised a photo exhibition to make people aware of its perils.
Inaugurated by Anu Garg, state Labour Department Secretary, in the presence of Labour Commissioner Sachin Jadhav and L N Nanda of UNICEF, this exhibition has three sections depicting children engaged in child labour, its prevention and government mechanism addressing the issue.
Sixty pictures are on display at Regional Lalit Kala Kendra in Bhubaneswar till November 19 aiming at making people cognizant of this prevailing menace and saving children from it.
The exhibition was also attended by two girls, Manorama and Subhashree, who were earlier engaged as child labour. They have now enrolled in a school.
Worth mentioning, India has the largest child labour workforce in the world due to its vast population, according to UNICEF estimation. The irony is, it is a criminal offence in India to employ children below the age of 14 in hazardous industries under Article 24 of Constitution of India, which guarantees their protection.

Bee Keeping with The Christensen's - Step One
Wow! March has been a bit of a whirlwind and I find myself sitting down to write another post and its freakin' April! We have several plates spinning at the moment: we are getting started on our next home build, working on preparing for our bees, more general clearing and cleaning on the propety (this one is never ending), shooting and submitting applications to join some of our favorite sailing vloggers...oh, and adding new baby chicks to our Chickensen family! Whew - more blogs and vlogs on all of that to come. Today I wanted to focus on our bees - why are we getting them, what hive and supplies are we using and how will we apply what we learned from the recent bee seminar we attended.
Why are we getting bees?
So, I heard this crazy idea the other day that bees are like super important to our ecosystem and without them we would be like screwed (I'm saying this in my best valley-girl voice). Only it's not a crazy idea, but a somewhat troubling reality. Bees are an integral part of life on Earth, and essential for the pollination of foods that humans consume. One in every three bits of food that we take is all thanks to bees. Our world would be very bleak without our bee friends and this is a huge motivator for us. First, we want to support the natural bee population. We have several bees that frequent our property for all the goodness that is offers them, but we would love to introduce even more into our general vicinity.
Secondly, remember that whole pollination thing? Yea, we want to take advantage of that too. We have planted over 100 fruit trees and countless other edible plants, creating our very own food forest. Having bees will help promote the cross pollination of plants necessary for them to bare fruit/food. It's humans working with the environment instead of against the environment at it's finest. The circle of life! Think about it. The bees help pollinate the plants, the plants produce food for us, we consume said food and provide our chickens with the scraps. They, in turn, consume the scraps and are badasses at generating compost along with the most delicious eggs you've ever tasted. We can then use the compost to nurish more plants which will...you guessed it, provide pollen for the bees to make their honey and sustain their colony. Ok- so my thoughts may have just taken us on a "figure-eight" of life instead of a circle- but you get the idea. We want to live in harmony with the earth and adding bees in another big step in doing that.
Finally, we cannot deny that we will enjoy some amazing, home-grown honey. While we cannot wait for this delicious benefit to having a bee colony, we only plan on harvesting honey in proportion to the colony size, just for ourselves, and paying very close attention that the bees have the stores that they need to feed themselves. Bees have survived for ages making their own food, and our preference is to allow them to "do what they do" instead of "feeding" them sugar water long term.
What Hive and Supplies are We Using?
(Please note: none of this is sponsored and we are sharing info from one bee keeper to another)
As with everything we do, a ton of research hours went into determining exactly how we wanted to host a colony of bees. Our number one priority is allowing the bees to do what they would do naturally and interfere as little as possible...(I'm pretty sure the bees know how to take care of themselves better than we ever could)!
A Warre hive felt like the best choice to provide the best environment for the bees according us. I'd like to make a quick note that we all feel differently about what is best for our pets, family, property, etc. I am not saying that the Warre hive is the best. I am saying that based on our research and the way in which we would like to host bees, this is the hive of our choosing.
When choosing a hive, I think one must take into consideration what they want out of the bees. If we were looking for honey production, we may have choosen another top-bar hive design or Langstroth (which is most common). As explained above, honey production is not our priority. The Warre hive is a version of a top-bar hive that is stacked vertically. It allows the bees to build the comb however they see fit considering size and shape. This hive seems to be the least obtrusive in the bees natural lifestyle. Many Langstroth hives have a screen of sorts that the bees build their comb on. After the honey is harvested, the basic structure of the comb typically stays and the bees do not rebuild comb, but rather refill comb. We feel that this can promote possible disease in the hive and therefore prefer not to have anything for which the bees to build on other than the top-bar. It is more resource intensive for the bees to reconstruct comb after a harvest, but there will be less "old comb" in the hive and less possibility for disease or parasites. There will inevitably be less honey since that is what the bees will need to fuel up for construction, but again, more natural and better for the bees in the long run.
We purchased our Warre hive from Bee Thinking (https://www.beethinking.com/) along with our jackets, gloves, hats and veils. Bee Thinking along with Sweet Valley Hives (http://www.sweetvalleyhives.com/) both have great information on hive styles and beekeeping in general if you want to check them out. They both have helpful videos on YouTube as well.
Oh yeah...and the bees themselves. We have chosen to order our bees from BeeWeaver Apiaries, located in Navasota, TX. After researching all the local apiaries, we decided that BeeWeaver's philosophy of bee keeping aligned best with ours and felt that we would get the healthiest and strongest bees from them, and appreciate all the time and effort they have put into raising the bees up to the point where we take over.
How We Will Apply What We've Learned
Several elements of our learning have already been applied in our selection of hive and materials. There were several great nuggets of learning that we gained from our recent trip to our local bee keeping seminar, though, that we will implement with the arrival of our new colony. (Here's that video link if you'd like to revisit our nuggets: https://youtu.be/mUzbhEtTYNI)
One of the classes I attended was all about how to set up your hive and what to do when your bees arrive. We are getting what is called a "Package" of bees. This is a small, rectangular case holding approximately three pounds (1.36 Kg) of bees, which is roughly 10,000 worker bees. The case also holds a queen, held in a protective case with a plug of candy on the bottom. Finally, there is sugar water food for their transport. We will install them using the methods listed in this video (https://youtu.be/Q1j4cxweHxY and allow them to start setting up shop in their fabulous new home!
There is obviously a plethora of food for the bees, so the scouts will have a lot of waggle dancing to do in order to show the other bees all the great places to gather pollen, but water is an important element as well. There are several locations around the property that contain water, but we have made sure to provide standing support for the bees so they can get the water they need and get out safely. This has been done using screens over barrels (which helps with the mosquitoes too) and rocks/sticks in the water as well, just depending on what the water is used for and what makes the most sense. There is also a creek one property over, so they should be all set!
Careful placement of the queen is a must, so we will be sure to not commit the ultimate bee keeping sin of pulling out the candy cork. This candy cork is slowly eaten away by the bees; slowly allowing them to become familiar with the queens scent and pheromones. By the time this candy cork is gone, the colony should be well acquainted with their queen and she can get to work right away making her brood (babies).
I think that about covers it for Step One of Bee Keeping with the Christensen's. We will drive to Navasota to pick up our package of bees April 8th, suite up in our super sexy bee suits and install the package into our hive. We'll be sure to post pics, video, blogs and vlogs about our adventures in bee keeping. We do not know all there is to know about bees, but we will continue to learn how to enhance our world and live in harmony with it. We will share the joys and pains, successes and struggles, though, in hopes of inspiring you to do the same in your corner of the world, in your own way.
Nature has unlimited time in which to travel along tortuous paths to an unknown destination. The mind of man is too feeble to discern whence or whither the path runs and has to be content if it can discern only portions of the track, however small.

The beginning of a new year leads to an assessment and evaluation of the results that Kito Onlus has achieved with its work. Today we can proudly confirm that, since March 2014, about 8000 people have benefitted from the services delivered by our Kito-Health centre in San Fernando, La Union.
The major activities of the health center regarded maternal health, immunization, family planning, nutrition and periodical medical and dental missions. We can also be proud of a growing trend in participation of the beneficiaries to the project, thanks also to a campaign on malnutrition. In particular, this campaign was aimed at increasing undernourished children's weight by integrating their diet with healthy food: 449 children have been measured and weighted only in the month of April 2014. Malnutrition is one of the biggest problem in the Philippines, and there is still a lot that can be done to overcome the issue. Nevertheless, with the work of Kito-Health in San Fernando, Kito Onlus is surely taking the problem into consideration by taking care of the wellness of the children, for example by distributing Vitamin A to make sure that they get the right intake for their development, and monitoring their progress.

When looking for an agent to help sell house fast or buying a home, there are a few things you can do to find a top real estate agent or the best real estate agent in your area. With that being said, you might be asking yourself "how can I find a real estate agent near me" or "who are the best real estate agents near me?" or even "are there any local real estate agents near me?" You might also be asking yourself "how do I even find the best real estate agent?" The first thing you can do is use a real estate agent locator. There are quite a few ways these locators might be worded. Some of those are listed below so you know what to look for.
• Finder Find A Realtor
• Find An Agent Real Estate

Another thing you could do is get reviews from other people or try, find a list of real estate agents, or find some real estate agent websites. You can usually get these lists at different realty companies or from an independent property agent.

Really good read (and I'm an adult).
I enjoyed this book so much that my main complaint is that I didn't realize it was only part of the story. The ending left some huge questions unanswered which, I suppose, is a good marketing ploy to get people to buy the next book, but I felt cheated at the end and like I was being manipulated.
On the other hand, the only reason I care about that is because the story was engrossing and perfectly paced with realistic teen characters (I remember!) and a mind-bending view of a world where you only see the projection of the reality people wish was there, and not what is. So interesting! I do want to read the next one, and will most likely buy it once I get over being annoyed.

Ahh yes, the song lyrics are back– and quite appropriate. Today was the last day of residence hall move-in; all of the freshmen are safely tucked away in their little rooms, free to prowl the U District at all hours of the day or night – muahahaha!
Okay, I guess this is true, but come on- really? Anyway, ran around volunteering for Dawg Daze, helped out with Residence Hall check-in and got to hang out with my mentee all day (he's pretty much, um, awesome — be jealous)
