FAQs: Behind Laboratory Air Flow Control Systems
Air flow, according to engineering resources, is a measurement pertaining to the amount of air per unit of time that flow through any particular device.
Air, in this instance, is often measured by its volume or its mass. In most applications, it's measured primarily by volume; some applications, however, require measurement by mass due to air's gaseous nature that may cause its volume to vary in different temperatures.
Air flow may seem like a superfluous measurement system, however it's important to those who build, construct, implement and install HVAC systems for buildings. Air flow control systems, in particular, are responsible for various thing, including: the control of moisture damage in buildings, the reduction of energy loss and ensuring that building occupants are comfortable and healthy (in regards to the air of the building).
In our last article, we talked about precision air flow control systems. This time, we're going to examine some of the most frequently asked questions about laboratory air flow control systems for air flow control in critical environments.
Behind Laboratory Air Flow Control Systems ~ Frequently Asked Questions
As mentioned in our last article, air flow control systems in buildings is an important aspect of maintaining a building's overall moisture and temperature control in different climates. An air flow control system mainly helps control the amount of air leakages that may occur due to unrecognized gaps in insulation or other issues. This often causes a building to exert more energy than it should exert during the year.
It's a system overlooked that most 'regular people' don't realize how important is for a building to have such a system implemented, especially if the building revolves around being a critical environment or a place of interest that more or less controls a business' main operations.
Laboratory air flow control systems are such a system that are specifically designed for use in laboratories. Laboratories are critical environments that require air control systems to maintain the temperature and humidity of its enclosure to prevent issues related to either.
What are the Main Reasons why Air Flow Control Systems are Important to Building Enclosures?
The main reason why air flow control is important to building enclosures is performance. It not only applies to the performance of a building, but it applies to the comfort and performance of those who work in the building itself.
There are also several reasons why it's imperative to implement an air flow control system for performance-related reasons:
Moisture control – As mentioned in our last article, moisture from water vapor can enter a building via condensation, eventually causing issues that can compromise the integrity of the building and the health of the people who work there, among other performance-related issues. Robust laboratory air flow control systems control and also prevent significant amounts of moisture from entering a building enclosure.
Energy savings – Air leakage is known to cause buildings to rack up large energy costs each year. During summer seasons, air leakage causes cooler air to escape the building, causing the air's conditioning system to have to draw air from the outside to condition in order to further cool the building—and the cycle repeats. It's the same case when the building's HVAC systems work to keep the building warmer during colder seasons and in colder climates.
Comfort and health – Excessive air leakage can also compromise the health of people who work in the building in question. Not only does it cause excess moisture to develop in a building, but leakage also causes harmful elements like mold, strange odors and gases to enter the building.
As you can see, an air flow control system is important for those very reasons. And, it's especially important to implement an air flow control system in areas that are critical environments for those reasons, too. When we mean 'critical environments,' we're talking about laboratories and their requirements for a clean, controlled air that produce a comfortable and safe workspace.
Can you tell me more about Laboratory Air Flow Control Systems? Why are they Important?
As mentioned, laboratories are critical environments that require air control systems to maintain the temperature and humidity of the enclosed space there.
Critical spaces like laboratories require special air flow control systems to not only regulate the temperature and humidity of the space, but to control the air pressure there, as well.
Many professional companies that produce laboratory air flow control systems for businesses and organizations recognize the needs of such a critical space. These systems often ensure that the integrity of those particular environments remain secure, and they accomplish that those controlling the aforementioned pressurization, humidity and temperature of those environments.
What else should I know about Laboratory Air Flow Control Systems?
Many laboratory air flow control systems also implement technology to help reduce energy costs from keeping the system operating on a consistent basis. This allows facilities to significantly reduce their energy usage and, subsequently, their energy costs on a yearly basis.
In addition, the implementation of laboratory air flow control systems also helps keep laboratory tenants comfortable without compromising their health. Given the critical nature of places like laboratories, laboratory air flow control systems also help keep laboratories well regulated to protect equipment and delicate contents that may be stored in the lab.
Many modern laboratory air flow control systems are designed to perform and, therefore, accomplish various goals at once. Some of the most notable systems provide a faster response speed for system operators, better pressure independence than older system types, higher turndowns and better accuracy and usage based controls that allow systems operators to regulate energy usage throughout the year.
As you can see, robust laboratory air flow control systems are essential for modern buildings for various reasons. Most importantly, precision air flow controls systems keep critical environments from incurring issues from fluctuating temperatures and humidity.
Given the nature of the climate in this country, it's important for any critical environment to have system that controls air flow in and out of its building enclosure in order to efficiently maintain its temperature and humidity.

'Orange is the New Black' stars explain Season 5's cliffhanger finale
Dascha Polanco and Selenis Leyva discuss the new blockbuster new season of Netflix' prison drama.
Spoiler alert: This post contains spoilers for Season 5.
Season five of Orange is the New Black begins, and ends, with a bang.
Taking place over a three-day riot inside Litchfield prison, the fifth season of the Netflix prison dramedy picks up where season four's cliffhanger finale left off, with Dayanara Diaz (Dascha Polanco) pointing a gun at a corrections officer, eventually shooting him in the leg.
But the twist at the end of season five is even more substantial. In the finale, an emergency response team evacuates Litchfield and loads most inmates onto buses, bound for different prisons. But ten key characters — Piper, Alex, Red, Suzanne, Nicki, Taystee, Cindy, Gloria, Blanca and Frieda – stay inside, the episode ending with the police smoke-bombing their bunker in Litchfield's abandoned pool.
"We leave season four with Daya pointing a gun," Selenis Leyva, who plays Gloria Mendoza, told USA TODAY. "That already puts us at 100, and that's where we start."
"Reading (the finale), I went, 'What does this mean?' she said, explaining that she received the script "the week before" she shot the last episode. "The way it's left off, there's a huge explosion, and (we're) the last command. If there's casualties, there's casualties."
The finale also caught Polanco by surprise, whose character, Daya, had a standout season after firing the gun in the premiere. "I think it was a surprise, from the moment I got the first script for season five to when I got the last one," she said. "To not know, it's realistic — you're at the mercy of (the prison), you have no freedom, you belong to the system and it's the decision of the system to decide where you go."
Polanco "appreciated not knowing" how the action was going to progress on the show, because it allowed her performance to be more honest.
"That realistic touch, that relatability we get from the audience, it's because of that dynamic of not knowing, as life is," she said. "You can't predict what's going to happen. And I thought about that recently, 'What would have happened if I had known this season would have gone the way it did? Would I have reacted differently?'"
"Because then you're so honest in that moment," Leyva replied. "As an actor, even if you know the ending, you have to be honest. But I think for us, not knowing what's coming down the line — when we're shooting episode two, we don't know what's in episode 13."
"We're digesting these as we go along," Polanco said. "It just gives it this kick, this honesty."
As for how the show progresses from season five's shocking ending, Polanco and Leyva have more questions than answers.
"What's going to happen?" Leyva said. "There's the buses that take people off, the final ten that are in the pool, so how is season six going to start? I always think, 'Is season six going to start with limbs everywhere?' It's scary, the aftermath of it all."
As for Daya's fate, Polanco can only guess. "Dayanara's on her own, she just committed a crime, and that will be punished," she said. "You might not see her ever again, or you might see her, as an actor, I don't know, and as Dayanara, it's obvious enough that she will be addressed (by the show)."
And even if they had the answers, as Leyva joked, they sure wouldn't share them with fans.
"Do we think we're going to tell you?" she said. "Even if we did, come on, girl."

How Does In-Vitro Work?
Most couples who are trying for a baby may become concerned that they may not be able to achieve a pregnancy on their own, and therefore wonder what kind of fertility treatments there are if natural conception doesn't work out for them.
There are several types of methods, beginning with Clomid to help regulate ovulation alone which is the least invasive and least expensive form of treating infertility. The next step is artificial insemination or intrauterine insemination (IUI). This procedure uses a catheter to inseminate a woman that is ovulating with either the husband's sperm (needed if he has a low count or if her cervical mucus is toxic for his sperm), but it is more invasive and expensive than the woman going on Clomid alone, but a lot cheaper and less invasive than in-vitro or IVF.
Then that will bring you to the next question, what is IVF and how does it work? IVF is a treatment that helps a woman conceive when all other fertility methods have failed. So this may be the last resort when it comes to a woman being able to carry her own children or if an egg donor is being used. The next step beyond IVF when it comes to a couple having their own biological children when the woman cannot carry is surrogacy when a woman is hired to carry the couple's baby.
However, IVF is really the last resort when it comes to allowing the woman to have the experience of being pregnant.
Other methods of treatment will be used initially before a specialist considers IVF for the couple. Those methods are the woman going on fertility drugs and/or IUI, and these methods alone would have had to fail before IVF is considered. The reason for that is that IVF is incredibly invasive and very expensive, and is the treatment that increases the chances of couples having multiples significantly more than other methods (unless the woman has to be on strong fertility drugs alone).
If all other less expensive and less invasive fertility treatments have failed, then the fertility specialist will discuss IVF with the couple. It is crucial that they understand the process of what happens during IVF and what to expect. Couples then can decide whether they want to go through such a grueling process or give up on the idea of having their own biological children and adopt, or to remain childless because IVF is difficult in every aspect.
How In-Vitro Works
The first day of the treatment happens on the first day of the menstrual cycle. The woman will be undergoing a number of tests which includes baseline blood work and ultrasound before starting on fertility drugs which will be given 1 to 4 times a day for a week to 10 days.
During the time of taking the fertility drugs, you will be monitored frequently through blood work and ultrasound and once the follicles are between 18mm and 24mm, they will be large enough to be retrieved. Therefore at that point you will be given a shot of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which is the pregnancy hormone.
Around a day and a half after the hCG shot is given, you will then go into the hospital for the egg retrieval. As long as the process has gone well up to this point in your IVF treatment, there will be a number of viable eggs which will be retrieved. The husband will give his sperm sample to be washed, and then the egg will be placed in a culture dish with about 10,000 of your partner's sperm so that fertilization has the opportunity to happen.
Approximately 3 to 5 days after retrieval then 2-5 healthy and viable embryos will be transferred to the uterus via the catheter. Depending on the woman's age as well, there may be no more than 1 or 2 embryos placed due to the risk of having a multiple pregnancy (though even with 1 embryo placed, splitting can happen with IVF for unknown reasons which is the reason for identical twins).
After that, you are given progesterone supplements, then wait for 2 weeks to see if you are pregnant. If not, then rinse and repeat for the next cycle by using embryos left over- and pray for the next cycle to work.
If you are pregnant, you will continue to have progesterone supplementation as well as having to be monitored by your doctor.
Other Reasons for IVF
There are exceptions where other forms of fertility drugs for women will be skipped and IVF will have to happen. If the woman has blocked tubes, then the only way she can get pregnant is via IVF. If the man's sperm count is severely low, even for IUI to be effective, then the fertility specialist will not only want to move to IVF, but do a procedure called Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection or ICSI. ICSI is a procedure in which a single sperm is directly injected into an egg so the normal fertilization interactions are by-passed since there will not be a lot of sperm to use.
Finally a case when IVF is used is when the couple both carry the same bad genetic mutation such as cystic fibrosis or Tay-Sachs disorder, or if the woman has a chance to pass on bad genes like hemophilia to her sons, or if there is a chance of diseases like Huntington's being passed onto offspring. Therefore the reason for this type of IVF which is also called preimplantation genetic diagnosis or PGD has nothing to do infertility, most of the time anyway. It is due to producing children that will not end up with the disease that the parents will otherwise risk passing onto their kids if they were conceived naturally.
After fertilization, the embryos are biopsied and examined. If they are healthy, they are transferred back into the woman's uterus. If they are diseased they will be discarded or donated to research.
IVF is not only invasive but it is expensive, and the process is very emotional regardless of the reason the couple has to go through it. It is recommended that couples undergoing IVF get counselling for this reason. IVF is usually successful, but in some cases it is not and this is when couples will have to either look into surrogacy, adoption or coming to terms with being childfree.

Main dishes cost around: A$9
From Brooklyn Zoo to the streets of Shaolin, from the Bronx Is Burning to the King of Queens, with a hey to Upper East Siders and people who get a headache if they ever leave Manhattan, the influence of the Big Apple on the cultural landscape is pretty wide-reaching. The culinary imprint of the city that never sleeps is pretty intense as well, from Italian-influenced dishes like New York-style pizza and calzone to Jewish deli cuisine classics like bagels and buttermilk pancakes and the Coney Island hot dog. What we're saying here, is that NYC is a decent place to get stuffed. If you're in Brisbane though, it can seem a far way away, but at The Boroughs of New York Pizza in the Fortitude Valley area, you can get a decent crack at modern American classics down on Ann Street. Book a table now: it's cheaper than buying a flight to the States, and the weather is probably better as well.
Food sounds delicious?
Get a table before they're gone
We had an amazing time at Boroughs of New York Pizza! The staff went above and beyond for our birthday celebrations. Food was amazing as usual and wonderfully priced too!
good pizza, very happy and friendly staff. compare to sydney prices cheap. they prepared pizza out of the menu with out any questions. thank you

Toast Note - 2 November 2017
One of the Toast Note crowd sent me a really thought provoking read recently on contextual leadership. Digested, the idea is that leaders have a certain skill set and experience that lend themselves to a phase in an organisational life cycle. I think we all know this intuitively. A leader who might be spectacular in a start-up would not necessarily do so well in a mature, large organisation. One whose skills work exceedingly well in build-and-grow mode might be at sea in a cost-out contraction phase.
The key insight is that this doesn't necessarily represent inadequacy in the leader; It simply means that we are not all made to do all things. The author (who I don't have permission to quote so I'm just going to continue paraphrasing but please note… I'm plagiarizing the ideas) focuses on the senior leader. But I think it's worth extrapolating to many roles within an organisation. I certainly see it's applicability in my area of Change. I have long felt that in the business of Change, we have a shelf-life. For both ourselves and the organisations we work for and with, it's important to be the adult in the relationship and know when to move on.
Now look. I'm not ready to leave. I'm not even close to ready so nobody get any ideas. But this is such an interesting and valuable idea, I want to let it sit in my knoggin' and percolate for a while. It requires a degree of self-awareness well beyond that of the average bear. There is a lot to unpack at three levels: the phase, culture and need of the organisation; the skills and experience of the individual; and the lego block game of matching the two in the most optimal way. When as a leader or change influencer do you know you've served your purpose, and it's time to be awesome someplace else. What are the signs in yourself and the people around you? When as a parent do you know, "Let go. They're brilliant… you can't polish them anymore. It's not your job."
"The hardest part is what to leave behind,… it's time to let go!" ~ Pooh Bear (A.A. Milne)

Hello Sky Summer!! :) So nice to see you drop-by. :) And yes, sana nga meron din SB mugs ang mga cities na yan.. Oh, and I'm going to HCMC and SR this November. I heard na baka magbukas na ang SB sa HCMC that same month *a big SANA!*.. sa Cambodia naman parang malabo pa magkaron :(
Do you collect SB mugs din ba? :)
- September 28, 2012 at 11:25 AM
magsisimula pa lang. pero ref magnets talaga samin. :)
- September 29, 2012 at 9:06 PM
OH Cute goodies!! WOW I should start collecting Starbucks mugs from different Countries and places na rin pala! Ang cute pala tingnan!! WAAA
- September 30, 2012 at 8:48 AM
I actually thought about collecting ref magnets too and shot glasses.. But then I decided to just stick to something specific, such as these SB mugs. :)
By the way, I love your 40ish list!! My beau and I are thinking of posting ours as well.. hehe! :)
- October 1, 2012 at 12:19 PM
Oh, these mugs are super cute and lovely to look at! Brings back memories from all of my travels. :) You should collect na din! :)
- October 1, 2012 at 12:19 PM
We also have a mini cups collection from Starbucks since hubby travels a lot with his work. They are really nice to look at, isn't it?
- October 9, 2012 at 5:47 AM
Oh, definitely! Hehe. :)

great collection I envy your collection

- Eunice said...
Wow, that's a lot of Starbucks mugs! I'm likewise thinking of doing the same thing not just because they're nice to look at but also because of the story that each mug has. :)

I know this maybe a silly idea but if those mugs are mine, I would be setting up an online novelty items store sooner or later. But that's just me :) ~ http://the-urban-walker.blogspot.com/

Let's start a starbucks mug trading group. => Of the places I've been to, I'm missing the farther areas such as Sydney, Paris and Netherlands. The rest I have except Cambodia (who doesn't have a starbucks yet) My friends have also taken initiative in sending me mugs from their areas.

Hey sis you forget DAVAO. Heehehehe. Anyway you have great collections of mugs there.
- October 10, 2012 at 2:41 PM
Hi sis! Actually, wala pa akong Davao kasi hindi pa ako nakakapunta doon. :) The list of mugs that I'm still missing are the ones that I've been to before. Di lang ako nagkaroon ng chance to buy those during my trips. :)
- October 10, 2012 at 3:23 PM
That's actually a gread idea, Franc! But as much as possible, I want to get mugs from the places that I've been to already. But of course, I wouldn't mind being gifted with new city mugs, regardless if I haven't visited those yet. :)
- October 10, 2012 at 3:24 PM
I actually thought of that before, Dimaks. Believe it or not, eBayers are already doing it. But their mug rates are way off the roof! Most sellers put in about 200-300% mark-ups! Well, these are in fact, premium items. So I completely understand too.
- October 10, 2012 at 3:26 PM
So true Eunice! That's one of the reasons why I started collecting these mugs -- to make me remember. :)
- October 10, 2012 at 3:27 PM
Thanks! :) Why not start your own collection too? :)
- October 10, 2012 at 3:27 PM
- Donald Pagulong said...
Wow! great collection. Eh ako thrice pa lang atang nakapunta sa Starbucks, not that price there is high, kaya lang I really hate coffee talaga. Never pa nga akong nakatikim kahit sip lang.
- October 10, 2012 at 10:22 PM
My husband and I collect so many things not only for genuine interest but also for sentimental value so I'm afraid we will not have enough space left for ourselves very soon. Your collection of mugs has a story to tell and that it what I like about collections.
- October 11, 2012 at 9:49 AM
I have the same sentiments here, Ms. Teresa. :)
- October 11, 2012 at 11:27 AM
Wow! You're the first person that I know who doesn't like coffee.. How about tea, sir? :)
- October 11, 2012 at 11:27 AM
- MsKathyKenny said...
We have the same collection. I have Baguio. You can have it if you'll get it from me :)
- October 11, 2012 at 6:50 PM
- Demi Barbra Angeles said...
Wow, cute collection :D
I'm curious how many mugs are there all in all :)
- October 11, 2012 at 7:32 PM
I hope I can get you one that says Dubai to join your collection... but i wonder how to send it you hahahaha unless you know somebody from here that I can send it through or we have a common friend hmmmmmmm... courier service will be more expensive than the mug itself :)
- October 11, 2012 at 11:53 PM
- Rizza Javier said...
You've really been around. Maybe I should start collecting something...
- October 12, 2012 at 11:06 AM
Hihi.. where do you live? Hehe J/K! The thought of you offering your Baguio mug is already a nice gesture.. thank you for thinking of me. :)
- October 13, 2012 at 1:08 PM
Hi Demi! YOu can check here: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Guide_to_Collectible_Mugs/Starbucks_City_Mugs =)
- October 13, 2012 at 1:09 PM
Hahaha.. don't worry about it, Ana! No need.. The very gesture itself made me smile already. Thanks for thinking of me. :)
- October 13, 2012 at 1:09 PM
You should Rizza! :) It's very fulfilling.. hehe!

I have visited this post before and it seems your collection of Starbucks mugs have grown since the last time i saw your post. Keep on collecting!
- October 15, 2012 at 11:08 AM
Yes, they have grown throughout the months..lol! Thanks for visiting, Ia! :)
- October 15, 2012 at 11:23 AM
you visited this much starbucks in other countries? wow, you really love them, do you... hope you collect them all. Yahweh bless.
- October 15, 2012 at 6:12 PM
- Marri Bermudez said...
Most travelers love to collect ref magnets like my sister but you collect mugs particularly Starbucks mugs. I hope you will update us with the quantity until you have enough mugs to share even one for me. :)
- October 15, 2012 at 6:29 PM
I have a Philippine mug! I'm planning on including it in one of my giveaways before the year ends.. hope you can join that Ms. Marri! :)
- October 17, 2012 at 7:56 AM
Yep! Except for a few ones that I haven't been to yet. :)
- October 17, 2012 at 8:04 AM
Hi!! Do you only collect the mugs from the places you've been to? Or have you started trading also for other countries?
I started with only the countries I have been to, but have now branched out. It is very addicting!
- October 25, 2012 at 4:36 PM
Hi +dids consing! How are you?
First of all, thank for dropping-by! :) Glad to see you here. :)
Anyhoo.. I'm only collecting those that I've already been to. But there are a few places that I haven't visited yet that are already included in my collection. These were given to me as gifts, particularly NYC, Orlando and KL. :) There are actually a few more mugs missing.. the only way I could get them is to visit those cities again.. someday! Hehehe! :)
- October 25, 2012 at 5:33 PM
- Christian | Lakad Pilipinas said...
Nice collection you got there! Like you, I also only get the ones where I've been to already. And similarly yung mga meron ako na di ko pa napuntahan, mga gifts lang din :)
- January 14, 2013 at 3:55 PM
Kaso parang gusto ko ng ituloy na mamili pa ng mugs kahit dko pa napupuntahan. Ganda kasi tignan. :)

Life from a cell's perspective
Image: Professor Amanda Wright, Nottingham University, will lead the development of a platform that combines optical trapping, multiplane imaging, light sheet microscopy and adaptive optics.
UK-based researchers have won close to £1 million to develop a new optical platform to study live cells in 4D and understand what triggers cell mutation and disease in the human body.
Researchers from the Universities of Nottingham, Heriot-Watt and Glasgow will combine optical trapping and multiplane imaging with light sheet microscopy and adaptive optics to investigate the 3D environment close to cells.
As part of this, the researcher will use optical trapping to hold nano- and micro-sized sensors within an extra-cellular matrix to measure its 3D micro-rheology.
Deep 4D imaging will then be achieved via light sheet microscopy and aberration-correcting adaptive optics.
As Professor Amanda Wright from Engineering at Nottingham points out, the new set-up will, for the first time, plot, track and analyse cells' positions, movement and function as they grow into and interact with the proteins and sugars that make up the surrounding, extracellular matrix.
This will enable scientists to understand how physical and biochemical cues from cells influence the matrix, and vice versa, and how these interactions affect the progression of disease.
"This instrument will revolutionise our understanding of how cells respond to the forces imposed on them by their matrix as they move through it; forces which directly control cell function and behaviour," says Wright.
"For the first time, we will be able to view the cellular microworld from a cell's own perspective," she adds. "It will help us to learn how migrating cancer cells, for example, exploit existing tracts and directional cues inside the matrix."
Professor Paul Dalgarno from Heriot-Watt University pioneered the multiplane imaging technique that underpins the new instrument.
As he explains: "While a conventional microscope produces a sharp image from just a single object-plane, multiplaning records sharp images from several object-planes simultaneously."
"We will combine our revolutionary multiplane system with optical trapping before integrating this into the full light sheet based trapping system of our co-collaborators," he says. "Together this will enable us to fully study how cells migrate, grow and interact in 3D and in real time."
A second research strand will examine how cells absorb particles and the impact that drug therapies have on the matrix, providing valuable information on drug design.

|The audience's tradition of chanting "Luuuuuuke" continues in force today and was also done by Peter, the panel and the audience when Luke Burbank spectacularly won the Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank round.
The thick Chicago accent that Carl used in the first Limerick flummoxed the listener contestant, who is a court reporter and transcribes what is said in court. He quietly repeated the last words of each line in the second limerick, to which Peter and the panel picked up. He also had a wee bit of a hard time trying to come up with the correct rhyme for the last limerick.
Someone peeped in while Peter was doing the intro for the Lightning Fill-in-the-Blank round. Amy tried to get Peter and Carl accept "monkey" as a correct answer, but it wasn't the first answer she provided, which was "tiger", and the correct answer was "chimpanzee". A chimpanzee is an ape and not a monkey, which Peter said that listeners would write in if the two were mixed up.
"Get these mother-farting cows off... this mother-farted (sic) plane!". Enough said.

|Paula and P.J. had a lively discussion about the study of birds getting "divorced" during the first panelist round. The Bluff the Listener contestant seemed to have had some kind of dating experience that influenced her choice of Roxanne's bluff.
Another instance in which all three panelists answered six questions correctly.

"Quality is Key Word for Bulgaria"
Posted in Uncategorized on December 12, 2013| Leave a Comment »
These last few days I allowed my mind to turn, if only briefly, to the half term holidays which are creeping-up on us. With two young children in tow I wanted to look at either a short break or even a week in the countryside and forests closer to home.
Wonderful and open spaces such as the New Forest, Forest of Dean and fascinating National Forest appealed – bags of activities for the children come rain or shine and the opportunity to explore a whole region. So, next on my list was checking out the accomodation.
Hotels are great – but with children, our night-life ambitions have to be scaled back! Camping sounds like a fun option – but perhaps in another year or two when the boys are both a little more independent.
So, renting a "Home from Home" seemed like an interesting option. We could go flat out all day and then put our feet up in the evenings in our own little world – cracking open a bottle once the kids were settled in bed!
At this point it dawned on me that I am about to rent a holilday home in a similar way to the many toursists who look at renting one of the 1,500+ apartments and villas which we, at Orpheus Interiors, have supplied furniture packages in Bulgaria.
I started to be quite surprised! The properties I was looking at online in the UK were, without exception, very nicely furnished indeed!
Many had 3 or 4 stars in their own right as accomodation and I naturally started to draw comparisons between these fine rental properties and those in Bulgaria which people have bought as investments as well as for personal relaxation!
A quick boast!… Orpheus Interiors' furniture in Bulgaria has always been of a high value for money. Quality at the right price.
"I walked into the apartment and it was amazing. Big flat screen tv, beautiful wood bedroom furniture that would not be out of place in a top London hotel room and amazing views from the lounge and both bedrooms. We cracked open a beer and toasted to our holidays whilst listening to the sea lap up against the shore." [Garden of Eden, St Vlas]
It struck me that these owners in the UK understand a trick or two about the holiday rental market… At the end of the day, the property must be attractive to people in the first place!
Then it needs to leave the paying guests feeling that their "home" for the week has been welcoming, comfortable and a quality experience! Only then can the owner hope for repeat bookings, referrals and perhaps even a kind word or two on all important websites such as Holiday Lettings or Trip Advisor!
"Lovely, bright and clean apartment. Perfect for self catering and close to all the fantastic amenities. We fell in love with the place and will be back next year" Michelle, Derbyshire
Too often we have seen people guided by price alone and make false economies overseas when buying furniture in Bulgaria.
Their colleagues back home, on the other hand, have taken a fine piece of advice from Holiday Lettings manual: Furnish with Flair!

Analysts. Retail investors. Bankers. Key shareholders. The best market analyses and investor audits gain the full spectrum of perspectives on your company and its market position. Figuring out what stakeholders understand and want to know about you forms the baseline of facts from which to build a sound investor relations strategy. This type of research has been a Merlin Edge specialty for over two decades.
Following the research, Merlin develops communications to correct misconceptions about your company, to counter negative perceptions and to reinforce and expand upon your company's recognized strengths. There's no bad time to do these studies because the findings always come in handy. The most strategic timing is immediately preceding a major communications initiative: a revamped website (which can involve as little as re-messaging the home page banners), the next annual report or an upcoming road show. If you are contemplating an overall corporate rebranding, the market analysis and investor perception audit is critical.
For publicly traded companies that also deliver products and services (other than commodities) to other businesses or consumers, we also recommend conducting a market analysis focused on your customers and competitors rather than investors. Understanding your customers' perceptions of your company's strengths and weaknesses, their perception of your market position, and your competitors' strengths and weaknesses provides the foundation for your marketing strategy. It also helps improve your messaging to investors.
Understanding your markets – customer markets and investor markets – can help you achieve your goals for business development and growth in shareholder value.

wallace told us to
consider the lobster:
squishy sea-spider,
jurassic hold-over,
shell inelastic,
indeterminate grower.
compelled to conscious
and cursory weakness
at nature's decree: sent
out to consume, crowd
stiff carapace {pressurize}
it hurts to be cracked.
worse yet: wedge soft self through
jaggy seam, naked —
but atrophy is death.
stymied in old shells
we are left ever with choice.
Jesus tells us to
choose — your securities ―
do they still fit? find
a rock you can trust. lose
nothing that is you,
truly. swell. begin again
A couple of weeks back my friend Colton turned me on to a video of a rabbi talking about lobsters. He said that lobsters eat and grow and can eventually become quite large. But their shells never grow. Their shells are rigid. Eventually a lobster's body will fill its protective shell, making it painful to live inside. And then the lobster has to actually crack open it's old shell, drag itself out and find somewhere to take cover from predators while it constructs a new one. If a lobster doesn't undergo this process, called ecdysis, it will no longer grow. The rabbi concludes that maybe pain isn't something to be endured or ignored or medicated. Maybe pain can be a good thing, if it works as an indicator that we've reached the edges of our comforts and securities and it's time to lean into God for something new.
Last Sunday my friend Ben shared about an experience he once had in prayer. He had pictured a small bird in a large cage. The cage had a door that was cut in the shape of the bird. Ben asked God what was going on. He felt like God said back, "You can stay inside and be comfortable, but as you continue to grow the things that are keeping you safe will become a prison."
For the lobster and for Ben, and probably for all of us, true growth and freedom comes as we follow God, not as we stay hunkered down in the things that make us feel safe or comfortable. And sometimes God leads us away from those things not because he is cruel or controlling but because he knows that we can never grow into who he has made us to be unless we learn to trust him with ourselves. Even when it hurts. Even when it's scary. And here's the thing about trusting God — there are always deeper levels.
So where is there pain in your life right now? What are you afraid of? Where might God be leading you?

Guild Wars 2 Does Free to Play the Right Way
When it comes to MMORPGs that are out today, there are not that many examples of games that do things the right way. Guild Wars 2 is one of those, though, and it truly excels at what it does. Prior to the game being launched I did have my doubts about how viable the model was going to be (and so did many others), but Guild Wars 2 has been holding its own and has made me a very happy player. Through this article I am going to be looking at why the game is so awesome and what other game publishers can learn from them. With the general trend moving towards games being free to play, this is of major importance because what other companies learn or do not learn is going to continue to affect us all.
Cash Shops: Dos and Do Nots
The biggest part of free to play games is their cash shops. This is where they get their money from, and without it they can not continue running or developing their game. This puts the cash shops as being a centralized part of the gaming experience, and how well a publisher handles this will easily determine the fate of their game (and whether or not players like it). So let us look at different areas and how Guild Wars 2 handles them in the right (and possibly wrong) ways.
Selling Items That Affect Others
A big fear of players when a game goes free to play (or is released on a free to play model) is that there will be items sold in the shop that grant advantages over other players. This could be straight up gear sales or things like gear enhancements. These things end up creating a very imbalanced game, where the players who have the most money in real life end up with the greatest benefits within the game. For us more hardcore gamers, we believe that games should reward those who understand and play the game the best, rather than those who have the most cash sitting in a bank account somewhere. This difference is massive, and it creates a separation between players that most of us agree should not be there.
Luckily, Guild Wars 2 resorts to only items that will affect your own character but do not have an impact on the game for anyone else. The only exception for this would be, to a point, the gathering tools. These, though, cost more in a gold cost (if you were to convert gold to gems) than just buying the gathering tools would. So when it really comes down to it, while these tools are available they are more about the convenience factor than they are a useful part of the game. They are far from being needed, and you can do just fine even without them.
Selling Gems
Rather than forcing players to buy their gems (the currency for the cash shop in Guild Wars 2), you can buy them off other players. There is a trading system built in to the game where you can trade gold for gems or gems for gold. This lets you use your time in the game farming to equate to real benefits by letting you buy items right off of the cash shop! Anything that can be bought with cash can also be bought using your gold (after converting it to the gems).
Now, there is one aspect of this that some players are for and some are against. The entire trading system for gold and gems is centralized. It is all handled through algorithms in the game, where the prices for gems will go up as more people purchase them and the price goes down as more people sell them. The issue here is that it is not the market that is really choosing the prices; if it were, the prices could hit one area that they stay stable at, regardless as to how many people are buying or selling their gems. So really, it is ArenaNet that is picking the prices, and there is no real clarification as to how the prices are chosen (for example, we can not use them to determine how many gems are being bought and sold). Even so, just having the option to do this is a massive benefit, and it is something I hope more games will start picking up on. While I am not against what some games do by allowing people to buy items and sell those, or simply gift items to someone through the cash shop, I like the idea of cutting out that middle step and allowing us to buy gems as we are able to and then save up for the items we want to buy the most. Having more control over my money is important, and I know I am not the only one that feels that way.
Making Sales
Guild Wars 2 often has sales on items. It is not clear how they determine what will be on sale or for how much, but there is pretty much always something you can buy on sale. While the items that are usually on sale are not of much interest to me, I do think it is an awesome deal for those who are wanting those items. What would make it better, though, is a sneak peek of what is coming up on the sale listing, kind of like when we buy the Sunday paper and it lets us know what will be on sale for the next week. This helps with deciding when you should save gems up instead of spending them, and you can then maximize the purchases. This ends up leading to increased value of the gems, which leads to more of them being bought. It is an all around awesome deal to everyone.
Another cool thing that ArenaNet could add to the sales would be to allow players to vote on the next sales. For example, have a few different items out there with proposed costs. Then set it up for that week so we can each vote (one per account) and at the end of the week that sale would start and the next vote would start (or every two weeks, every month, etc.). This would offer up two new benefits: it would allow players to take part in the game and have an increased amount of say and it would also work to get more players involved in the cash shop, increasing the chances that they will find things they are interested in and make purchases. We already see these things in other areas. Chick Fil A, for example, has their yearly calendar. One of the benefits to this is that there is a freebie on one of the months that we get to vote on. It may not be something majorly important, but it is nice to be included in decisions like this.
Cycling Items
The items that are for sale in Guild Wars 2 are changing out every once in a while. What is available right now when you log in may not necessarily still be there tomorrow. And then it could return a couple weeks after that. It is almost like going to a grocery store that has random stock times and no clue as to when more of what you are looking for will be coming in. You end up having to just hang out and hope for the best, watching what is for sale from day to day and snagging things as you need them so you do not end up needing them and not have them available again.
This method of offering up things for sale has a couple of different benefits. It keeps players following the cash shop to see what is available and when it is available and it also causes people to do panic spending. Both of these are beneficial to the game as a whole, as they help increase the revenue the game is generating and in turn add in to the speed of development we experience within it. All of this benefits us, even though it does not require everyone to keep spending money in the shop.
Guild Wars 2 is a great example of how to run a free to play game. Whether the game is starting out free or it is moving over from a subscription based model, this is an excellent role model and should be used for helping shape decisions. Guild Wars 2 proves that you can legitimately benefit both the players and the developers or publishers without anyone losing in the situation. This keeps the players happy, allows the game continue to run, and allows the safety of being able to deal with hiring and other processes that speed up our content generation. All of this working in unison makes for an awesome experience that is rarely seen in the gaming industry any more. Now we just have to hope that ArenaNet uses what they have learned in their future games to provide other awesome experiences! If they do, I will fully support their next projects and give them a go.

The Design-Build delivery system often cites the original "Master Builder" model used to build most pre-modern projects. Under the Master Builder approach, a central figure of the architect held total project accountability. From inception to completion, the master builder was the key organizational figure and strictly liable to the owner for defects, delays, and losses. The Design-Build system is a return to the fundamentals of the Master Builder approach. For nearly the entire twentieth century, the concept of Design-Build was classified as a non-traditional construction method in the United States, which is the last country to still embrace the old standard of Design-Bid-Build.
The Process
Design-Build focuses on combining the design, permit, and construction schedules in order to streamline the traditional design-bid-build environment. This does not shorten the time it takes to complete the individual tasks of creating construction documents (working drawings and specifications), acquiring building and other permits, or actually constructing the building. Instead, a design-builder will strive to bring together design and construction professionals in a collaborative environment to complete these tasks in an overlapping fashion, i.e. construction has begun while the building is still being designed.
Typically, the hallmark of a Design-Build project is that one organization is responsible for both design and construction of the project. If this organization is a design firm, the process is known as "Design-led Design-Build". If the organization is a contractor, the process is known as "Contractor-led Design-Build".
The compression is an important aspect of the implementation of this system. Other attributes include:
- A Single Source
- Enhanced Communication
- Value Based
- Increased Accountability
- Single Source
Instead of having several contractors and consultants, an owner has just one entity to deal with for a center point of "responsibility and accountability". Design revisions, project feedback, budgeting, permitting, construction issues, change orders, and billing can all be routed through the design-build firm. This single point of contact allows a certain degree of flexibility for the owner. Most design-builders will leverage that flexibility for the owner's benefit by continually refining the construction program to maximize the owner's value at the completion of the project.
Enhanced Communication
Because the design parameters of a project are being developed while the budgetary goals construction methodologies and budget conditions are being weighed simultaneously, a project is more likely to be realized than with pure design approach. The owner has greater access to the "team" working on project development as the project is being developed. This efficiency is not a negative "short cut" but rather the keystone to the success of the Design-Build model.
Typically, in order for a contractor to bid on a project, very specific details relating to the methods and materials must be given to avoid any ambiguity and to make an "apples to apples" comparison of bids. In a design-build context, the owner, the owner's other consultants, and the design-builder can work together to determine what methods and materials will maximize the owner's value. In instances where marginally more expensive materials, designs, or construction methods might yield a higher return on investment for the owner than those of lower cost, the owner is free to adjust the project's program without having to re-bid the entire project.
Increased Accountability
Rather than a linear level of responsibility of the classic design-bid-build, design-build provides an integrated solution for the owner or client. This moves projects away from the "finger-pointing" that is often commonplace in contemporary construction projects, and allows the owner to look to one entity with any questions or concerns.
Our highest goal is to offer creative options to our clients where they can draw on our strength and to collaborate with them using a multi-disciplinary approach to establish a shared expectation.

By Mercy's Madelynn Innes
Lisa Cook is a "model of what a nurse should be." A family member of a Mercy patient says Lisa is attentive and took the time to care for his loved one. She provided information and reassurance about the patient's condition, which gave his family hope.
"When Lisa left at the end of her shift, she made sure the next nurse was well informed."
Throughout her patient's stay, she also went out of her way to make things better, arranging for him to have physical therapy in our courtyard so he could enjoy the fresh air. And, seeing that he had several family members who wanted to stay with him, she arranged for him to move to a larger room so they could be more comfortable. When she overheard his children talking about being with their dad on Easter morning -- even though they wanted to attend mass in Mercy Springfield's Chapel -- Lisa got his physician's OK for him to go and made sure a wheelchair was available so he could attend the service with his family.
As a token of their appreciation, the family included Lisa in their traditional Easter morning lunch. They also made sure to nominate her for Mercy Hospital Springfield's DAISY award.
"The family told me that Lisa was a wonderful advocate," explained Kim Marple, RN. Agreeing, she added, "Lisa truly exemplifies the values of a Mercy nurse: attentive presence, tender courage, vigilance, spiritual presence, comprehensive care orchestration, compassionate care and intellectual engagement."
Like Lisa, Mary Crabtree's patients, their families and her co-workers chose to submit their DAISY nomination as a way of thanking this nurse on 4B for her attentive care.
Here's what a few of her nominators wrote:
"When I arrived in my room, Mary was waiting for me; she introduced herself and the student nurse who was with her. She explained every detail about the workings of the call button, and what I could expect during my treatment. She also provided little things that were just intended to make my stay more pleasant. Upon leaving, Mary said I would be her role model for aging – at 81 years old that made me feel good about myself. Emotionally she definitely helped to give me a lift."
"When Mary tells you what she will do to take care of you, you just know that she will do it! And she did."
"We had a patient scheduled for a stress test, and his 8-year-old son was with him. There was no one to watch the boy while his father was off the floor. Mary went to the Cafeteria to get the boy breakfast and also picked up Crayons for him. She blew up gloves and made silly faces on them. After a while, the boy's grandmother arrived. She said several unkind things to the boy. Mary pulled him aside and told him he was special, and that no one could compare to his sweetness. She also brought out all the pictures he drew and showed them to all of us. He gave Mary a hug when he left."
"My mom was faced with very difficult decisions that all had dire consequences. Mary took much time to explain all options to mom to help her make the correct decision. She showed unbelievable interest and passion to my mother with all her decisions that had to be made. God bless her!"
"Mary completes her job with both pride and respect for her patients and their families. She is comfortable with any question and takes time to answer them. Mercy should be proud to have nurses like Mary on their staff."

Piece rate pay calculation/
Piece Rate Pay Overview
A piece rate pay plan can be used by a business that wants to pay its employees based on the number of units of production that they complete. Using this type of pay plan converts compensation into a cost that directly varies with sales, assuming that all produced goods are immediately sold. If goods are instead stored in inventory for a time and then sold at a later date, there is not such a perfect linkage in the financial statements between sales generated and piece rate labor costs incurred.
Use the following method to calculate wages under the piece rate method:
Rate paid per unit of production × Number of units completed in the pay period
If a company uses the piece rate method, it must still pay its employees for overtime hours worked. There are two methods available for calculating the amount of this overtime, which are:
Multiply the regular piece rate by at least 1.5 to arrive at the overtime piece rate, and multiply it by the hours worked during an overtime period. You can only use this method when both the company and the employee have agreed to use it prior to the overtime being worked.
Divide hours worked into the total piece rate pay, and then add the overtime premium (if any) to the excess number of hours worked.
In addition, an employer using the piece rate pay system must still ensure that its employees are at least paid the minimum wage. Thus, if the piece rate pay is less than the minimum wage, the amount paid must be increased to match the minimum wage.
Piece Rate Pay Example
October Systems manufactures customized cellular phones, and pays its staff a piece rate of $1.50 for each phone completed. Employee Seth Jones completes 500 phones in a standard 40-hour work week, for which he is paid $750 (500 phones × $1.50 piece rate).
Mr. Jones works an additional 10 hours, and produces another 100 phones during that time. To determine his pay for this extra time period, October Systems first calculates his pay during the normal work week. This is $18.75 (calculated as $750 total regular pay, divided by 40 hours). This means that the overtime premium is 0.5 × $18.75, or $9.375 per hour. Consequently, the overtime portion of Mr. Jones' pay for the extra 10 hours worked is $93.75 (calculated as 10 hours × $9.375 overtime premium).
If October Systems had instead set the piece rate 50% higher for production work performed during the overtime period, this would have resulted in the overtime portion of his pay being $75 (calculated as $0.75 per unit × 100 phones produced).
The difference in the payout between the two overtime calculation methods was caused by the lower productivity level of Mr. Jones during the overtime period. He assembled 25 fewer phones during the overtime period than his average amount during the normal work week, and so would have earned $18.75 less ($0.75 overtime premium × 25 phones) under the second calculation method.

An Ear to the Sounds of Our History
In 'An Ear to the Sounds of Our History', Hayes draws on her extensive archive of spoken-word vinyl records. The collection dates from 1948 to 1984, tracing a period when political speech was often recorded on and disseminated through vinyl records. Using the album covers to stand as symbols for various political movements throughout history, Hayes has arranged them in a grid to create "sentences" in which incongruent historical moments converge. In doing so, she invites viewers to draw connections between different political moments, and raises questions about the accessibility, dissemination, and preservation of free speech.
The work was initiated as a performance entitled 'Spoken Word DJ' at the Guggenheim Museum in New York in 2010 as part of the exhibition 'Haunted', in which Hayes mixed and sampled the original records. An adapted version was subsequently shown at the 2011 Venice Biennial in the exhibition 'Speech Matters' at the Danish Pavilion - displayed as a wall installation of 110 record covers. The work has since been grouped into 'sentences' of varying lengths, looking at the systems of distribution that have determined whose voices predominate and whose have been all but forgotten to history. The series has been shown in Hayes' recent solo exhibitions at The Art Institute of Chicago (2011); 'Habla', Museo Reina Sofia, Madrid (2012); and 'There's so much I want to say to you', Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (2012).
