CCTV in Blanchardstown, Dublin 15
We recently installed CCTV in Blanchardstown for a client with a daycare nursery.
The business has been operating for over 20 years and they have recently had some renovation work completed on the building. They decided that their old system, which has several faulty cameras, needed to be updated – and they called us – Fortknox Communications to look after it for them.

Camera security system installed in Blanchardstown
The existing system had been in place for over ten years and consisted of 4 analogue cameras in the old fashioned box-type housings. Although these cameras are a visible deterrent – and they are highly visible – two of the cameras had not worked in several years and the glass on the housings was almost green – as they hadn't been properly cleaned in several years.
The video recorder was recording on a hard drive, but the recorder was quite noisy and it generated quite a lot of heat. The old systems like this one are very energy inefficient. Also the owner had lost the instruction manual for the recorder some time ago, and she was unsure about hot to operate the system if she ever needed to retrieve video images.
After a thorough and detailed consultation, the business owner decided that we should renew the whole system.

We installed a new CCTV system for a business in Blanchardstown
Your business is important to us. We highly value each and every one of our customers. We take great pride in every job we do.
Here's the thing.
Many of our competitors just want to sell the CCTV system that suits them. Often it's the equipment that makes them the greatest profit – and not necessarily the best system for the customer.
Most people don't know the difference between an average quality CCTV system and a really good quality system. And most CCTV companies prefer it that way.
We would rather help our customers and clients understand the differences – so that they have enough information to make the right choice for themselves and their needs. If that means that we are not the best choice to meet their needs, then so be it.
We would rather you get the best possible CCTV system – than sell you a system that will not meet your expectations.
If you're looking for CCTV in Blanchardstown or any part of Dublin – please – give us a call and at least you'll be better informed about the systems that you're being sold.

Maply is a crowdsourced map for discovering breaking news and local events.
Around the web
4 head-turning business ideas coming out of Austin - Austin Business JournalFour entrepreneurs visited me for a half-hour each during my first Capital Factory Office Hours on June 16. The startups they founded comprised: * A company that supplies robots to clean pool debris; * A map app that shows what's happening in an area - live artist shows, parties, food trucks, etc.; * A stock-trading game app that teaches players how to invest in securities; * And a venture that finds the frequent-flyer point program most aligned with the customer's travel plans.
Austin Business Journal
Maply's leap: Student entrepreneurs raise funding, pursue startup full-timeThe entrepreneurs who founded Maply as undergrads at the University of Missouri will be plunging into the startup full-time in June. The creators of the location-based app for discovering and sharing events have raised $300,000 of seed funding and are relocating to Austin, Texas, in hopes of accelerating their company's growth.

Easy to use, customized to your area/city, local recommendations
Wish it was in more cities
I used this in my college town all the time, seriously. I found cool study spots I wouldnt think of, and when film festivals were in town like True/False I could check it out and see what event were going on in real-time. Awesome app and super user friendly. My mom even knows how to use it lolLizzy Rider has used this product for one year.

Hey PH, Co-creators of Maply here. Looking to get some feedback on the app we've been working on the past few years. We started Maply in college to answer the question: "what's going on near me?" This was a recurring inquiry not only for local activities and events, but also for breaking news and campus emergencies. At the time, the best way to find this information was via Yik Yak and other location-based social apps. Similar to how Waze addresses traffic, we believe combining user-generated content and a real-time map interface is the best way to discover here-and-now information. Today, we operate in five US cities and are used by thousands to find what's happening nearby. In the next 6 months, we'll be active in over 20 cities in the US, Canada and Mexico. Look forward to hearing from you all! P.S. if you're attending South by Southwest, download Maply using this link (iOS: https://apple.co/2ELFo7n Android: https://goo.gl/hNFE59) for a map of everything free (music, tacos, parties, etc.) happening in Austin 😊

@jeff_warren_orr Nice work Jeff! Any word on what cities are coming next?
@daviswbaer thank you! Next up: NYC, LA, Chicago, Dallas and San Antonio. Anywhere else you think we should be?
Stephen Sanders@complxalgorithm · Web Developer
@jeff_warren_orr think you could perhaps add Denver? if so I'll definitely be giving this a try when I go on my trip there over the summer 👍🏻
@complxalgorithm Denver is on our list! We'll be there by this summer :)
Amrith Shanbhag@amrith · Community + Social at Product Hunt
I'd be lying if I told @levelsio wasn't looking for something like this a while ago 🙊
Daniel Senyard@dsenyard · Product guy - travel, HR and media tech
This is great, Jeff. How do you scale to get more content in and open up new cities? Do you guys have to "knock on doors" or can venues/events/offers onboard themselves?
@dsenyard thanks! When we expand to a new city, we populate the map ourselves with content. From there, we launch and start building an active user base. Once we have people using the app in the area, local businesses/venues/events can onboard themselves and have an incentive to start posting content since there's already an active audience in their area (thus minimizing the 'knock on doors' approach...although we've done plenty of that in the past :) )

Wendy's lets you search for these locations via their Breakfast Finder , even so, you can only search inside 30 miles of your own location, which can lead to aggravation if you do a lot of traveling. The corner bakery (panaderia) exactly where I have morning coffee sells thousands of these each morning for breakfast – and continues to sell them throughout the day. The name 'Ma-Be-Ba' comes from beginning of three Italian words Mangaire (meals), Bere (drink) and Ballare (dance). Quick meals goes healthier at this Caribbean-inspired chain that recently invaded Addison.
Food involves burgers and sandwiches and pub fare such as sausage and mash, steak and kidney pie, shepherd's pie, fish n' chips and shrimp scampi. I truly believe that the meals will certainly be better when eaten at the restaurant alternatively of delivery most possibly because it will be fresh and steaming hot. Chinese meals choices are very limited in Myrtle Beach, so you have to be flexible when a excellent spot pops up!
Exciting times ahead for Whitsunday Residents with the launch of Foodporter lately, residents of Airlie Beach, Cannonvale, Jubilee Pocket, Mandalay, Woodwark, Cannon Valley, Riordanvale and Sugarloaf have the opportunity to enjoy restaurant top quality meals in the comfort of their own residence. Get in touch with it what you will, but late-evening meals is a necessity for all of us now and again.
The very good issue about this app is that it makes it possible for meals bloggers and newspapers to assessment its listed restaurants giving you a a lot more objective look of a dining place. Some of them seemed to keep in the identical spot till at least late morning, even though other individuals cruised by means of the streets providing their wares in neighborhoods along the way. We've been feeding her puppy food then switched to 24/20 & then 27/10 protein meals.

UK Men's Basketball
Kentucky players get lesson in 'servant leadership' in the Bahamas
The Kentucky men's basketball players got an idea of what their coach means when he says "servant leadership" on Tuesday as they washed the feet of young children in the Bahamas and gave them new socks and shoes.
Coach John Calipari often combines humanitarian efforts, such as his "Hoops for Haiti" telethon, into the early UK basketball preseason. Tuesday, the Cats paired with Samaritan's Feet, a charity that distributes new shoes to "under-served individuals around the world," according to its website.
Calipari had the players do the same during Kentucky's last trip to the Bahamas. On Monday night, Calipari explained to his new group what they would be doing. A video of the meeting was posted by CoachCal.com. Photos of the foot washing were posted on the Twitter accounts of CoachCal.com and Kentucky men's basketball. A short video was also posted on UK basketball's Facebook page.
"When the kids come, you can tell, you know, they don't have much," Calipari said. "They have a pair of shoes for them, but before they give them the shoes, you wash their feet. Do you know the connotation of that? Washing their feet? Why would you wash their feet? ... It shows servant leadership. Who washed the feet of the 12 disciples?"
Calipari told his players that the effort was an example of the small things he and his players could do to help make a difference in people's lives.
"I always say you are going to be blessed many times over, and then it's what do you do with it? How do you give back? How do you touch other lives?" Calipari said Monday. "You figure out, I can have what kind of impact on people? Doing very little: You, right now, signing an autograph, taking a picture, grabbing (hugging) a kid ... That's the kind of stuff you learn brings joy to you. This thing tomorrow (the foot washing) is a big deal."
Kentucky plays four games over five days beginning 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Bahamas. All games will be broadcast live on the SEC Network.

Your Voice Not Silenced
As Solange said, here you have "A Seat at the Table." (So, I'm not deleting your comments) My purpose is not to offend or monetary gain. But to share this vital story to the world. Your passionate comments just prove my point. OUR pain and loss are as real as anyone else.
BEFORE Imperial Murders
I'm not some journalist or detective out to just exploit the Imperial Avenue tragedy from 2007-2009. Mr. Sowell attacked my ex-girlfriend, Vernice, June 2006. Her case was suspended 4-months later because of no slam-dunk DNA match.
A few months later the Imperial murders began. Starting with Crystal Dozier. She lived just doors from the abandoned house Vernice was forced into at blade point. The world does not know that. It pains me to no end that Vernice's brutal attack was repeated some 11 times over.
The Big Picture
Am I guilty of using dramatic language and theatrics to tell OUR story? Yes. And it's working!
I don't know why people have a fascination and curiosity for the dark side of human nature. I'm utilizing that attention for larger themes. Addiction, social justice, accountability in law enforcement, integrity in the judicial system and my personal favorite, dignity, and respect for women, especially women of color.
The US Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals
Vernice was passed over for justice. So yes, we're pursuing justice and closure by any "dignified" means necessary.
Did negligence and indifference enable the emerging Cleveland Strangler? Why didn't the CPD Sex Crimes Unit show Vernice, Mr. Sowell's registered sex offender photo in June 2006? Why didn't the City of Cleveland comply with the federal law, "Megan's Law" to issue a "community notification" when a registered sex offender moved into a neighborhood?
If Ms. Crutcher had received a postage-paid notification with Mr. Sowell's photo, address and then recent rape conviction, it might have been the game-changer.
Why did the County Psychiatric Court use an outdated sexual evaluation predictor with Mr. Sowell? "It is my professional opinion Mr. Sowell is a low risk. A 6% chance to re-offend." September 7, 2005.
Did these very real civic failures and law enforcement inept investigation help CO-CREATE the Cleveland Strangler? Had these missteps not happened the 11-Women of Imperial Avenue might still be alive today.
Right now, the second-highest court in the land, US Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, are reviewing these undisputed allegations. But wait there's more! Vernice's case may have already provided "legal admission" by the City of Cleveland to these allegations.
Possibly NEW EVIDENCE legally for the 11-Women of Imperial Avenue families! I will keep you posted!
The FREE Offer
OFFER: Verifiable Imperial Avenue Victims' FAMILIES, DM me for a FREE copy of My Sister's Keeper: The Cleveland Serial Killer Untold Story! Shipping and handling on me.
A true crime memoir and legal thriller like no other!

There are an amazing number of books available about the Anasazi. There are books about the
Anasazi themselves; who they were, how they lived, and what happened to them. There are also lots of books about visiting Anasazi country. Many are generic, focusing on the Anasazi sites that are developed and promoted. There are many amazing sites throughout the Four Corners area and a good guide book is vital to enjoying your visit.There are also a number of detailed hiking guides full of valuable information for anyone interested in exploring the wilder parts of the area. I have read and own many books on all aspects of the Anasazi and I can't tell you how much pleasure I have gotten while learning from them. and am a firm believer that owning some of these books is

75 MW Solar Power Plant & Solar Panel Factory Coming to Washington State
photo: Teanaway Solar Reserve
The Pacific Northwest may be famous for a lot of things, but overly abundant sunshine probably isn't on the top of most people's lists. But never mind that. Just announced is a solar power project which, when completed in 2011, could well be the largest in Washington. Enter the 75 MW Teanaway Solar Reserve: The project will be located approximately 4 miles northeast of Cle Elum and consist of approximately 400,000 solar panels "surrounded by existing ponderosa pine forest."
Permit applications for the project, which is expected to generate enough electricity for some 45,000 homes, will be submitted this fall, with construction to begin in 2010.
More about the project: Teanaway Solar Reserve
In addition to the actual power plant, Greentech Media reports that Teanaway's developers want to also build a solar panel factory near the site, which would supply the panels actually used at the power plant.
Teanaway wouldn't actually produce the panels themselves, but would entice an existing manufacturer to set up operations at the newly-constructed factory.

Research Medical unveils $3 million upgrade for radiation alternative to brain surgery
Gamma Knife Icon offers alternative option to brain surgery
Research Medical Center recently found itself in a predicament familiar to many consumers: the hospital had to replace an aging appliance because the manufacturer would no longer service or produce new parts for it.
The unusual thing about Research Medical's case was that the appliance was a Swedish-made radiation "knife" that uses gamma rays to shrink brain tumors as an alternative to open-skull surgery.
Research Medical staff have unveiled the new $3 million Leksell Gamma Knife Icon, which is scheduled to receive its first patients Monday. It's the newest version of a machine Research Medical has used to treat 2,000 patients since 1994.
"We are by far the only institution that has the experience we have doing radiosurgery in this area," said Dr. Jonathan Chilton, a Research Medical Center neurosurgeon who trained in Stockholm to use the original Gamma Knife.
Research Medical is not the only local institution that offers stereotactic radiosurgery, though.
The University of Kansas Health System performs advanced radiosurgery with a device called the Novalis Tx, and the Sarah Cannon Cancer Institute at Menorah Medical Center uses a device called CyberKnife.
All three blast cancerous or benign tumors and lesions with high doses of tightly targeted radiation to shrink them down and prevent them from causing brain injuries.
Menorah Medical Center and Research Medical Center are both owned by HCA Midwest Health, which runs the Sarah Cannon Cancer Institute. The Gamma Knife Icon is specifically for tumors and lesions of the brain, head and neck, while the CyberKnife can be used for other parts of the body.
The KU Health System is the only hospital in Kansas City that uses the Novalis Tx and it's also the only institution in the area that is a National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Center.
Chilton said Research Medical Center is the 19th hospital in the United States and the first in Kansas City to purchase the Gamma Knife Icon. He said it won't replace all open-skull brain surgeries, but the upgraded machinery will expand the types of cases in which such surgeries can be avoided.
"They keep fine-tuning it to make it more user-friendly and more powerful," Chilton said.
Chilton said radiosurgery treatments are especially useful for tumors that are near the base of the brain, or wrapped around nerves or blood vessels — situations that make surgery more risky.
Sometimes the treatments are combined with surgery.
Radiosurgery is not without risks, but they're less serious than open-skull surgical risks. Potential side effects of the treatment include headaches, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, and skin irritation at the treatment site.
Bob Gilliam, a medical physicist who works at Research Medical said that with the new Gamma Knife, treatments that used to take four hours will now take one. That will be a relief for patients who have a metal frame pinned onto their skull to keep their heads still while the machine delivers computer-guided blasts of radiation to the right spot.
The new machine will also give Research Medical the option of using a specially molded mask, rather than the metal frame, for some patients.
Jeff Chung, a nurse specialist who preps patients for Gamma Knife treatments said the placing of the metal frame is often their biggest fear, but they receive a mild sedative beforehand, the pins don't fully penetrate the skull and it's far less invasive than traditional brain surgeries.
Open-skull brain surgeries generally require days or even weeks of inpatient recovery, but most radiosurgery patients can go home the same day, with just a few Band-Aids.
"Some patients, like the pediatric patients for example, may not tolerate a long surgery that requires intubation and a long recovery period," Chung said. "With Gamma Knife, after the... treatment, the patient can go home and if they want to go to a grocery store or stop by a restaurant on the way home they can and they can resume all their regular activities the following day."

What do you know about the Honda S2000? It was produced from 1999 to 2009. It was a Roadster with rear-wheel drive. And, of course, that it was the car with the best indicator of specific power per liter of engine displacement among all cars naturally aspirated – its two-liter engine boasted 250 "horses", to cope with which helped ideal weight distribution achieved, including, due to the moving the engine behind the front axle, and the differential with increased internal resistance. In a word, it was a spectacular car, and everyone knows this. But what some may not know is that Honda looks in the foreseeable future to please the fans of its worthy successor. We collected all available data.
2017 Honda S2000 release date
The Assembly of the car also promises to establish in the U.S. – at a plant in Ohio. Moreover, there is evidence that and to declassify the new car it will be shown (how many matches) – at the motor show in Detroit in 2018. Although according to others (this phrase lightly stuffed nauseam, but that's all we have at the moment), a car could make its debut sooner, in 2017, having a pre-production or mass vestments.
Release date: late 2017
New information about 2017 Honda CRV
2017 Honda S2000 price
The new model 2017 Honda S2000 model year will cost around 59,000 USD or 42,000 EUR. Again, all of this information is not official.
2017 Honda S2000 redesign
The main thing that you should consider speaking about this future car is something that almost all of the information available to interested people is speculation, assumptions and rumours, from time to time supported by insiders. But here is one of the main issues was the question of appearance – it seems almost certain. Not so long ago in the network got the patent images of the new coupe from Honda that is made in the newest style of the brand and definitely looks impressive.
We have already seen and "top", and "baby top" in the face of Honda/Acura NSX and Honda S660, respectively, and they both look like they came from another planet to show to the Japanese and to the rest of the world how to draw cars. And a car that was dubbed by journalists as the "S2000 successor", as impressive, if not more. Its good and distinctive from any angle. The front attracts the attention of predatory black "grin" of the bumper, rolling the narrow strips of the headlamps, and massive cuts around the edges, obviously, serving for cooling of the front brakes; in side view there are large air intakes, cut like a katana. On the rear eye is torn between the acute-angled "shutters" in place of rear glass, a large and apparently functional "grills" on the sides of the rear bumper, designed to release the air, caught the side intakes, and a massive diffuser, which place more on the car touring car championship, than car for public roads. The roof, moreover, is designed and furnished so that it may be removable, transforming the coupe into an elegant Targa.
ALSO READ: The Interior Of The Mitsubishi 3000GT Will Be Well-Equipped And Comfortable
And all this splendor – but still cheaper than the NSX?! Remembering what the maniacs (in the best sense of the word) work in Honda, again glancing over his shoulder at S660, it is very hard to believe. However, tiny rear-view mirrors containing, rather, camera, partly implying that this may not be completely stock appearance of the car. But again going back to the existing instances in the face of the same NSX, you may recall that the difference between the concept and production car was minimal. It's Honda! Apparently, back in Formula 1, they got so inspired that nothing can stop them now. The main thing that buyers supported their excellent initiative.
2017 Honda S2000 video review
2017 Honda S2000 engine
Bit of a strange question, if we are talking about S2000, because its index is a direct reference to the engine capacity similar to that of the S500, S600, S800, and now S660. Where to get the necessary two thousand cubic centimeters? They're right here, right here, ready and hot – the Honda Civic Type R! No joke, 310 HP and 295 ft lb of torque, dispersing of the hot hatch up to 155 mph and reaches sixty in 5.7 seconds!
What else you need to ensure that the fan was crying with happiness, ecstatic pressing the accelerator? Hmm, let me think… maybe a mid-engine layout and optimal weight distribution? In fact, what is under the notorious "blind" in the aft part hides the trunk? There the engine, which is the place of its location immediately transports us into the environment of fast cars, powerful and uncompromising. Moreover, there is evidence that the new S2000 could have all-wheel drive layout, supported by tandem from 1.5L engine and two electric motors that will spin the front wheels. Power of petrol versions, according to different sources, varies from 330 to 365 HP, and the power of the hybrid version predicted at a level from 360 to 400 "horses".
Also read about specifications of 2017 Honda Odyssey
2017 Honda S2000 gearbox
It's prediced a seven-speed gearbox with two clutches in couple to engine. This, of course, a decent option that will probably allow the car to reach it's potential. However, if we really are talking about the successor to the S2000, let's remember that the original car was equipped with only six-speed manual and hope that the Honda engineers also don't forget, as marketers do not confuse the map. And, by the way, it is hoped, because the Civic Type R is equipped with a manual transmission, which means that Honda has run version of such a "duet".
2017 Honda S2000 modern base
For the body, of course, promised the most modern materials. Aluminum frame must be complemented by body panels from carbon fiber and aluminum, alternated by parts made of reinforced plastic. Even if it is speculation, it is quite logical. It would be hard to assume that the car will be based on a cast iron frame and the leaf springs, but, nevertheless, thank you, insiders, and enthusiasts! By the way, NSX is just such a "cocktail" of materials, augmented, of course, high-strength steel, which in the S2000 if it is released will definitely find its place.
Also read about the 2018 Subaru WRX
What are the prospects?
And here begins the most interesting part. Rumors about the car go back to 2014, and since then there have been many guesses, polled a certain number of insiders and drawn some sketches. According to information obtained some time ago, the future of the automobile depends on how things go the Honda in key markets such as the USA and China. However, recently appeared and reported that the project was given the green light, and the patent drawings filed by the company in the United States, is partly confirmed.

CAMP HOVEY, South Korea - In an annual contest sponsored by the Republic of Korea Ministry of National Defense, U.S. and South Korean Soldiers from the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, were selected as finalists.
South Korean and U.S. Soldiers from the 91st Engineer Battalion "Sabers," 1st ABCT, got a chance to showcase partnership, unity, and comradery between U.S. and ROK Soldiers July 17 at the 2016 World Soldier and Youth Security Vision Presentation Contest in Seoul, South Korea.
The team of four Korean Augmentees to the U.S. Army - known as "KATUSAs - and one U.S. Soldier from the engineer battalion gave a presentation to a panel of judges highlighting the unique role KATUSAs serve in the U.S. Army, and benefits of the 66-year-old KATUSA program. The team was selected as one of 22 finalists in the competition, from more than 570 teams from 15 countries.
The judges were amongst the highest-ranking political officials in Korea. In-Moo Hwang, the Under Secretary for the ROK Ministry of National Defense, served as the key note speaker and senior judge. The weeklong event was meant to highlight security, unification, and relationship development between North and South Korean.
Each presentation was unique. Teams of civilians and Soldiers spoke, sang, danced or acted in performances at the event. Saber Soldiers said they took it as opportunity to showcase the strong bonds that have developed due to the KATUSA program.
"It was a great opportunity for us to show how strong our partnership is, and that our friendship makes both ROK and U.S. forces better," said ROK Army Sgt. Kim Hanjoon, a KATUSA serving in Company B, 91st Eng. Bn.
The KATUSA program, borne out of necessity during the Korean War, is in its 66th year.
Koreans applying to serve as a KATUSA rather than to serve in the ROK military must have at a valid qualifying score from an English competency test, and meet several requirements. From the pool of prospective KATUSAs that meet all requirements, Soldiers are chosen at random and assigned to various American units with ROK oversight of the program.
Male citizens in South Korea between the ages of 18 and 35 are required to serve for 21 months in the military, during which time they automatically advance through the ranks of private, private first class, corporal and sergeant based on time served. Only a small percentage serve as KATUSAs, and the competition is tough for the coveted postings.
U.S. Soldiers develop strong relationships with their Korean counterparts.
"It was an honor to stand up with the KATUSAs and be a part of this presentation," said Pfc. Todd Vardy, a combat engineer in Co. B, 91st Eng. Bn. "I am deeply humbled and proud to be a part of it."

Benefits of Preventive Air Conditioning Repair
Air conditioning repair is beneficial for a number of reasons and it is something every homeowner should be keen about. During hot and coller weathers, you are sure that a good air conditioning system will ensure that your home is comfortable. Some of the benefits of preventive air conditioning works are briefly highlighted below.
Doing the repairs is beneficial since it saves on cost that may have otherwise been quite high. Little problems can have the tendency of becoming complex issues if left unattended to which can als be quite costly to repair. When you do the repairs, you are able to take care of the small issues which can end up becoming big issues.
Taking the time to do repairs also ensures that the air conditioning unit is not subject to wear and tear. With good preventive repairs, you are sure that you are able to get an air conditioning unit that has longer functioning life. When you care for your air conditioning unit, it will not break down regularly and you are sure that it will have a longer lifespan that helps to increase their working capacity.
It is easy to get better cooling from your air conditioning unit when take the time to do preventive maintenance for the entire unit from time to time. It is not uncommon for dirt to accumulate in the air conditioning unit which can easily cause the air that is being circulated to not be distributed well and also compromise on the quality of air being circulated. There is better air circulation when the system is cleaned properly which will in turn ensure that there is better cooling.
In case you need to sell your house in future, you are sure that you will be able to sell it for a higher value when you are sure that your air conditioning unit is working well. As a general rule, when you maintain your house well, you are able to fetch more for it from its sale. It is also easier to find a new buyer for your houses when your air conditioning system works well as opposed to if you neglect taking care of it since they are costly units to purchase brand new.
Air conditioning units that are broken tend to consume more power and that is why the preventive maintenance is important. They also tend to circulate dirty air and therefore poor quality of air is circulated at the end of the day. Apart from checking those issues, the air conditioner units will be checked to ensure that they are not noisy which is something that can be rather irritating and this will ensure that they have a positive impact to the environment and that is why doing the preventive maintenance is very important.
Why Air Aren't As Bad As You Think

Yesterday, 13th June 2017, I was able to attend Prof. Martyn Thomas' talk about Artificial Intelligence at the Museum of London. Unsurprisingly, the venue was at full capacity already half hour before the talk started – reflecting the high level of interest this topic currently receives from the general public. But Artificial Intelligence has been trending for a while, with bigger peaks in general interest appearing just last year when Google DeepMind's AlphaGo system was able to beat world champion Lee Sedol in Go.
Prof. Thomas started his talk with the general question whether computers can think, followed by all key objections that people have to come up with to date to negate this question. Alan Turing, one of the "founding fathers" of modern AI, addressed this very question in his seminal paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" already in 1950 and effectively refuted all of the main objections why computers would not be able to think.
After shortly referencing the well-known Turing test, Thomas made an important point by mentioning Turing's definition of thinking as "mental processes that we don't understand", which elegantly answers the actual question of what thinking is by one of the key features of our own brain activity, namely the fact that we do not fully understand it.
Against this background it is fair to say that Artificial Intelligence has already reached a level of sophistication that fulfills this requirement of complexity beyond our understanding, especially when we focus on the "black box" like ways in which we use Machine Learning, Deep Learning and sophisticated algorithms to crawl through big data in search for predictive patterns that we fail to fully understand ourselves – but accept and use as long as "it works".
In this context Thomas made a smart reference to Arthur C Clarke's point that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
And it seems to be exactly that kind of "magic" that is happening when we apply brain-like Neural Net techniques to extract deeper insights from large data sets – almost an applied version of the more abstract approach to create "neuromorphic computing" as part of research projects like the European "Human Brain Project", the Swiss "Blue Brain Project" or the US "Brain Initiative".
And it is exactly where these multi-layered, highly complex computer-cognition approaches become basically an incomprehensible "black box", where we start to tap into the limitations of AI and Machine Learning.
Especially the points that Thomas made about the systemic bias, the mostly correlational nature of results and the lack of understanding that goes with the use of AI and Machine Learning approaches seem to be most concerning.
As with all technologies that we have invented to allow us to reach further and do more, this technology specifically somehow simultaneously prevents us from actually understanding more exactly how we get to these magical results – results that seem both mentally enabling and disabling at the same time.
The other critical challenge of AI is obviously an ethical one related to the disruptive impact it is bound to have on the economy in its current shape and form. Specifically traditional professions involving routine tasks, automateable processes and any activity that uses data in a way that can be automated, optimised or sped up will likely be suffering major cut backs where human jobs will be done by machines more effectively and efficiently.
The resulting ethical question is obviously: if we allow this process to happen, how do we intend to compensate the millions of likely even highly skilled professionals that will be replaced by AI? Would it be fair to tax the use of AI in a similar vein as Bill Gates suggests that we should tax robots? How do we avoid the emergence of a new AI feudalism in which very few clever people using AI for their business purposes will become immensely rich while the vast majority of the population will descend into a new class of "useless people" for whom there will be basically no more productive opportunities or meaningful challenges but only games, illusions and entertainment.
However, hopefully not all is lost yet. If this short reflection has taught us anything at all it is that we are all called to invest more time into thinking how we want to apply and want to interact with AI driven applications that will be becoming more pronounced and more powerful very soon. We should not only leave it in the hands of experts like Google's DeepMind co-founder Demis Hassabis to think about what AI shall be doing in the future but we all need to identify the challenges and ways in which we want AI to work and be integrated into our life – and discuss the social and ethical implications it will likely have.
In face of the possibility of learning algorithms and be able to use "algorithmic inspiration" supporting our quest for new knowledge we will probably also have to redefine the way we are doing science. Having AIs that can think with and even for us will force us to think about our role in this Human-Artificial-Intelligence partnership altogether. But what will this new way of thinking and living make us – are we bound to become cybernetic beings that will outsource more and more of our mental activity to "thinking machines"? Is there a "human core", a set of genuinely human impulses, feelings and activities that we have to preserve because they cannot or should not be outsourced to machines? To what degree do we want to be defined only by being able to think and is an AI-improved thinking making us a better human? With more technical possibilities there will of course be more questions – some of which will be touching upon our very own nature as human beings. And whilst AI can help us find logical answers to data-related problems, it might not help us find the right way to apply these answers in order to actually make our lives better. Because "better" can only be defined in relation to a human point of reference. Any human voice out there that wants to join this conversation?

Enrolled in BSI program
This is my first webpage styled with CSS and Bootstrap. I used default bootstrap classes and have built upon them. For example, I included a transparent white background over both my carousel and jumbo-tron.
I mainly employed the use of Bootstrap with the grid system as well as resources like AwesomeFont for my social media icons in my footer.
I used the JS supplied with bootstrap and used functions to alter active states of links. The carousel and some other features also utilize the Javascript and Jquery. Some of the embedded features use their own scripts as well as their own styles.

In a sea of burger chains and taco joints, Chick-fil-A stands out in more ways than one.
Stepping into the iconic red and white buildings, customers find a menu board of chicken sandwiches and waffle fries and not a single digital ordering kiosk in sight. The privately held chicken restaurant is known for its customer service and quality ingredients, often shunning over-the-top, limited-time offers and technology in favor of a simple menu and personal service.
However, the company is trying to incorporate technology in a way that elevates its hospitality, not replaces it, and bolsters sales.
Chick-fil-A is experimenting with Kallpod, a small device that sits on its dining tables and summons a server whenever it's pushed, kind of like ringing a bell for a butler. Service staff members get an alert on their smartwatch to assist customers with questions, filling a second food order or to request a manager.
Houston franchise owner Joseph DeCola saw the device while on his honeymoon at the Four Seasons in Maui and decided to install it in his location. Devin Deshotel, an area manager, installed them in two other Texas locations in Wallisville and Uvalde.

UKRO Annual Visit to Warwick
UKRO Visit: Wednesday 21 March 2018
Warwick's UK Research Office in Brussels (UKRO) contact, Jon Brookes, will be visiting the University on Wednesday 21 March, to lead a series of sessions on European research funding and policy. The sessions will be open to academics, departmental administrators and professional services staff. The programme is:
Horizon 2020 – 2018-20 Work Programmes/the outlook for FP9
Common pitfalls in applications/evaluation and review processes
09.30 - 11.00: Horizon 2020's 2018-20 Work Programmes and the outlook for FP9
Venue: P5.21, Sciences Building
This session will be an opportunity to hear about the thematic priorities and collaborative research funding opportunities available under Horizon2020's Societal Challenges in 2019 and 2020. Jon will also present the latest on the shape of Framework Programme 9, the follow-up to Horizon2020, as well as setting out the current state-of-affairs in relation to the UK and European research funding after BREXIT.
Venue: P5.21, Sciences Building
The European Research Council schemes and Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions provide 'bottom-up' opportunities for researchers to secure EU funding for their research. Under Horizon 2020, the ERC has received a substantially increased level of funding while the MSCAs have been reorganised. Jon's presentation will cover:
- an overview of ERC and MSCA programmes, including eligibility and reimbursement rules
- information about upcoming calls
The session will be of interest to academics and researchers who want to know more about how ERC and MSCA programmes can assist their research, and to administrators who support proposals, either in the central administration or in departments and research centres.
13.30 - 14.30: Common pitfalls in applications/evaluation and review processes
Venue: IAS Seminar room, Milburn House
This session will identify some of the common problems and pitfalls encountered during the application development process. Jon will provide advice about what to do before the writing begins, what should be included (and what should not be included) in applications, and how to prepare for the evaluation and review processes.
14.30 - 15.30: Research Development Session
Venue: IAS Seminar Room Milburn House
This session, which is aimed at research development staff based either in the central administration or in departments and research centres, Research Finance and International Strategy & Relations will offer a Q&A and informal discussion around both the operational and policy side of supporting European research funding applications.

The public phase of our campaign has come to a close; if you still need to submit your pledge, please call the parish office at 281-494-1156. You may also make a pledge via your Online Giving account. Thank you for your continued support for Saint Theresa Catholic Church!
Capital Campaign
Early November Capital Campaign Update
Dear Friends,
As we start the month of November, the Church directs our gaze to the heroes of our faith, the Saints, as well as the souls of the faithful departed. I thus encourage you to focus this month on an essential spiritual work of mercy: to pray for the living and the dead. Pick a day in November to do a family visit to one of the nearby cemeteries, praying especially for those who have no one to pray for them. May the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace!
Please pay close attention this weekend to the campaign volunteers who have given so much of their time, and personal resources, to help make the capital campaign a success. Several campaign volunteers will be speaking at Masses throughout the weekend, sharing their reasons why they are supporting the campaign and urging you to do the same.
I want to encourage you, again, to pray about how your family can participate in the campaign. I can't stress enough how important the campaign is to the future of our parish and school, and how we need every family to make a pledge. Any amount, large or small, will be greatly appreciated and warmly celebrated.
Campaign representatives will also be outside after each Mass. Please take a pledge card home and pray about how your gift can truly be A Living Sacrifice, Holy and Acceptable to God. Please return your pledge cards as soon as possible. The public phase of our campaign is ending in just a few weeks and we have much to accomplish in the days to come!
Thank you for your continued support for Saint Theresa Catholic Church and, in advance, for your participation in this capital campaign.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Rev. Eurel Manzano
Approaching our Capital Campaign Goals!
Dear Friends,
Thank you, again, to the more than 270 parish families who have made their pledge to our capital campaign. We have surpassed our first goal and are more than 75% toward our second ("Challenge") goal. We need only $800,000 more to reach that goal! I encourage all families to join in this important campaign for our parish. We have more than 5300 registered families, yet less than 300 have made a pledge. Please pray about how you can participate and make your pledge as soon as possible.
On a related note, some have asked if their campaign pledge takes the place of their regular Sunday giving, or tithe. The short answer is "no." To embark on a capital campaign is an extra-ordinary effort, meant to address extra-ordinary parish needs. Our weekend offertory can only support basic, budgeted parish needs (and even that has to be supplemented by the Parish Bazaar each year). This is why we ask you to discern what your family can afford to pledge and why we say it is a "sacrificial" gift.
In light of this, any pledge amount—no matter how big or small—is greatly appreciated, and we can only reach our next goal through the combined sacrifice of many families. Remember, too, that providing for the material needs of the church is one of our primary responsibilities as members of the Christian faithful (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2043). We give not just to keep ourselves comfortable for an hour or so on Sunday while "the professionals" bring others to Jesus, but out of our own need to imitate and participate in the outpouring of Christ on the Cross—so that other may meet Jesus through us. Supporting the parish financially is just one aspect of this, of course, but it is an integral one.
At all the Mass times next weekend, some of your fellow parishioners will personally ask for your support and testify to the ways in which this campaign has contributed to their own life of faith. Please be attentive to their courageous witness. Thank you, once again, for your continued support for Saint Theresa Catholic Church and this capital campaign. Praying that the Lord in his providence will strengthen you as you seek to heed his commandments, I am Sincerely yours in Christ,
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Rev. Eurel Manzano

Capital Campaign FAQ's #13-18
13. Why emphasize personal visits?
Personal, face-to-face contact remains the single, best way to ask for support. It emphasizes the personal nature of giving, allows for a thorough presentation of the campaign case, gives potential donors the opportunity ask questions and allows volunteers to express their own enthusiasm.
14. Why emphasize pledges?
Pledges allow donors to consider giving more than is possible through one-time gifts. This is important in a campaign of this magnitude.
15. Is a pledge, fulfilled through check or cash payments, the only type of gifts accepted?
While commitments as such are typical to most campaigns, other types of donations, such as gifts of stock, are also options.
16. Can trust and estate gifts be made to the campaign?
Because the needs of the campaign require immediate funding, gifts of cash and securities are generally sought. If a donor offers a planned gift, he or she should be thanked and referred to the campaign office to discuss the options available in making such a gift.
17. To what extent are campaign commitments tax deductible?
Gifts to the campaign are tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law. The application of such laws varies with individual circumstances. Donors with specific questions regarding tax deductibility should contact their attorneys.
18. Can I change my pledge payment time frame?
Yes, all we ask is that you notify the parish business office.
Capital Campaign FAQ's #8-12
8. How can I participate? Can I pledge over time?
Our campaign offers a wide range of gift opportunities to participate at all levels. You may choose a plan that provides you with flexibility and time to complete the payment of your pledge. Because our needs are urgent, we encourage you to complete your pledge within three years.
9. Is my pledge legally binding? Will it be confidential?
No, a pledge is a gift, one you consider to be meaningful. All we ask is that you do your best and advise us of any financial changes that will impact your pledge. All pledges will be kept as confidential as possible. Only the people responsible for maintaining the records will have access to your pledge.
10. How are pledge requests determined?
We base our gift request amounts on giving history and answers given in the planning study. We ask that you consider a gift above your normal support.
11. Who will be asked to support the campaign?
Every registered household of St. Theresa, along with staff and non-parish school families, will be asked for their consideration of a gift to the campaign.
12. How will our campaign affect parish offertory?
In the short term, offertory giving is expected to remain constant. Through the effort, volunteers will ask parishioners to make pledges above and beyond regular giving. Parishioners are not asked to diminish giving to the parish but, rather, to consider a commitment above their normal tithe. In the long term, similar campaigns have caused increases in parish offertory by raising the sights of parishioners and their commitment to the church.
Capital Campaign FAQ's #5-7
5. When can I be expected to be asked for a commitment?
We have a lot of work to finish over the coming weeks before we begin fundraising. Our duties during this preparation phase include drafting and printing communication pieces, recruiting leadership and volunteer teams, and training those who will be asking for support. Our appeals will occur in phases with some being asked before others, but please know each family listed as supporters of St. Theresa parish and school will receive a letter from Fr. Manzano asking for support.
6. What about the new building that was in the planning study?
The response in the planning study clearly showed that the first thing we need to do is pay off the debt. That, coupled with the archdiocesan campaign to which we have a commitment, means that we need to put the construction of a new building on hold temporarily.
The truth is we need a building and more space. Space for our children, our parish and our staff. Over the past several years many of our buildings have outlived their lifespan. They are falling apart and the band-aid approach we've used to keep them functional is no longer effective. It's time for us to update and expand our campus with a new structure that will benefit parishioners and students while eliminating the financial drain we face regularly with frequent repairs. We need to take this on as soon as possible, once we eliminate the current debt.
7. How can I help?
We ask that you pray for the success of the campaign. Pray for God to provide direction for our campaign leaders and volunteers. Pray for the courage and willingness to join our effort as a volunteer. Please understand we need your help. Fr. Manzano and a handful of parishioners cannot be expected to carry the weight. Finally, pray for guidance on how you may offer financial support for our campaign. Ask the Lord to assist in defining your sacrificial and meaningful donation. We will need every household to participate in the campaign in some way.
Watch this space for more FAQs to come!
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Father Eurel Manzano
Capital Campaign FAQ's #1-4
1. What projects will we address in this campaign?
Based upon feedback received in the planning study, our goals are to reduce or eliminate the parish debt and contribute our share to the $150 million archdiocesan campaign. Funds received over these goals will go into a building fund for future needs.
2. What are our financial goals?
Success will be recognized at these levels:
$2.2 million Celebration Goal – At this level, St. Theresa meets its obligation to support the capital campaign for the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston and eliminates $1 million in debt.
$3.2 million Challenge Goal – When this goal is achieved, St. Theresa decreases its debt by $2 million
$5 million Victory Goal – At this milestone, St. Theresa eliminates its debt and establishes a fund for the construction of future campus projects.
3. How does the campaign for the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston affect our fundraising effort?
As you know, we have a commitment to support the archdiocese and our assessment for that campaign is $1.2 million. This commitment is included in our campaign total, but we will fulfill this obligation first before any funds are applied to our campaign projects.
4. How will funding be applied to reduce our debt?
Reducing our debt received the highest support in the planning study. We plan on addressing that by allocating the remaining campaign dollars toward debt until it is eliminated. We look forward to the day when we are debt-free, but please remember the debt is not crippling St. Theresa. The rate on our current loan is low and is something we can easily manage. Watch this space for more FAQs to come!
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Father Eurel Manzano
Logo for Capital Campaign Announced
As promised, we are excited to share with you the theme and logo of the upcoming parish Capital Campaign: We will be delving into this theme more and more as the campaign unfolds.
May the joy of the Feast of the Ascension be with you!

Father Eurel Manzano
Capital Campaign Survey Results
Dear Parishioners,
I would like to extend a special thanks to those who participated in the recent planning study we conducted here at St. Theresa's. We received a wonderful response from the parish—feedback that is extremely beneficial as we look to the future of our parish.
After gathering and analyzing data from the study, representatives from the Steier Group reported their findings to the parish staff, the Finance and Pastoral Councils and the School Board on April 19. Some of the highlights from the report:
- Reducing the parish debt scored highest among the items tested
- 78 % of participants are in favor of a capital campaign— including 94 % of those interviewed
- 75 % of participants indicated they will support a capital campaign—including 90 % of those interviewed
- 66 participants indicated they are willing to serve as a campaign leader
Based on the information above, the Steier Group recommended that our parish move forward with a major fundraising effort. Our councils, school board and staff, after a careful review of the findings and recommendations, voted in full agreement to proceed with a capital campaign. Of course, you can expect to hear more about this important project in the coming weeks and months. It's my pledge to keep you well-informed.
Once again, thank you for participating in this critical study for St. Theresa Catholic Church. Your input has been extremely beneficial and will help to ensure the success of our upcoming campaign. With the Lord guiding us and our parish, and with the intercession of our Patroness, the Little Flower, I have no doubt our efforts will be abundantly blessed.
Yours in the Risen Christ,
Father Eurel Manzano

I always carry my camera around when I travel, especially once on the plane. So here's a small selection of what I shot during my last couple of trips.
During my last business trip to Asia, I went to Honk-Kong, Shanghai, and Zhengzhou. Our stay in Zhengzhou was shorter than a blink of an eye but we managed to stay two days in Shanghai. Our colleagues there were amazingly welcoming and warm and I really had a great time with them. We walked around a bit and discovered a few restaurants (like Lu Bo Lang), temples (especially Jing'an in the heart of the city) and a few neighborhoods.
Here's a selection of my favorite shots. Enjoy!
I had the chance of going to Hong-Kong twice in under 3 months this year with work and each time was absolutely great. I spent some time preparing what I could see with the limited time I had outside of working hours and in fact ended up visiting quite a lot of things! Causeway Bay, the Peak, Man Mo temple, Big Buddha temple, Ten Thousand Buddhas temple, Repulse Bay, Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui, the Harbor, Sai Wan Ho, Sha Tin, aaaand I'm probably forgetting stuff.
I also wanted to do some shopping, namely photography shopping, especially in Mong Kok. I have dragged my colleagues to all sorts of second hand stores and mini malls and what not, all of them found on other blogs. And I am pretty sure that if I wasn't looking for something so specific (Minolta MD and Bronica PG/GS1 wishlist), I would have bought stuff, but it wasn't meant to be. Unfortunately. I might have to look around Singapore and/or Japan next time.
I have shot around 3k, especially during the first trip, I was overwhelmed by everything and anything and wanted to keep everything. I, as usual, selected around 2-3% of it for Internet purposes, and kept whatever was interesting enough for souvenirs.
Overall, I had an amazing time, and I really think Hong-Kong is a very nice first step into Asia when you don't know what to expect. It's both busy and relaxing at the same time (weird, huh?). You'll love it.
So here's a slideshow for you guys to enjoy 🙂

Ottawa, July 13, 2016—Employee engagement scores have remained stagnant since 2010 and in many cases are declining. A new study by The Conference Board of Canada reports that only 27 per cent of employees in Canada are highly engaged.
"Despite evidence of employee engagement's impact on business outcomes, workplace engagement has remained stubbornly low and relatively unchanged over the last five years," said Ruth Wright, Director, Leadership and Human Resources Research, The Conference Board of Canada. "Organizations need to understand why engagement is so important and which workplace factors can increase it."
The report, Employee Engagement: Leveraging the Science to Inspire Great Performance, finds that employee engagement scores dropped during the recession of 2008–09 but have failed to rise since then in spite of improved economic conditions. The most engaged employees tend to be those in management, individuals who have been with an organization for less than one year, employees working in small organizations or the not-for-profit sector. Employees with a longer tenure and those who work for mid-sized companies, or in technical/skilled trades, or the federal government have among the lowest levels of engagement.
The report outlines the seven workplace factors that most influence employee engagement. They are:
However, workplace factors influence employee engagement in different ways and employers need to develop an understanding of how each of these factors can effect engagement of different employee segments. For instance, while senior leaders have become the biggest factor influencing employee engagement, particularly when it comes to organizational pride and willingness to recommend the organization, the work itself and opportunities for professional growth have the greatest influence on attrition.
Similarly, people in different occupational areas are also motivated by varying workplace factors. For educators, having interesting and challenging work along with a high degree of autonomy is important. While the engagement of those working in information technology and retail trade are more affected by the relationship with his or her immediate manager.
The report identifies best practices for improving employee engagement, including: leadership training, decentralized accountability, interesting and challenging work and empowerment are good investments for increasing employee engagement.
This report, Employee Engagement: Leveraging the Science to Inspire Great Performance, is available via The Conference Board of Canada's e-Library.
Report author, Ruth Wright, will present the results of the report during a live webinar on September 27, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. EDT.

Given the fact that everything else in the enterprise is going virtual, it was only a matter of time before IT security followed suit. Security vendors across the board having been rolling out instances of their security software that runs on top of a virtual machine.
The latest offering comes from Sophos this week, which is now shipping Sophos Virtual Web Appliances software that deploys on top of VMware virtual machine software.
According to Chris McCormack, a Sophos product marketing manager, IT organizations are looking for security technologies that are substantially easier to deploy. Rather than having to set up a dedicated physical appliance, the Sophos Virtual Web Appliances software can be downloaded from the VMware Virtual Appliance Marketplace.
One of the reasons that IT security doesn't get enough attention in many organizations is that it's simply too hard to manage. What Sophos and many other security vendors are now trying to do is take that issue off the table all together by relying more on automation to simplify the security management process.
The degree to which this succeeds remains to be seen. But given the fact that IT organizations are increasingly becoming overwhelmed by security management issues, continuing to manage IT security using manual processes isn't going to work very much longer.

"You know nothing, Jon Snow."
Fans of the HBO show Game of Thrones will be familiar with the memorable and often-heard quote directed to one of the show's most popular characters. It's entertaining to see the character's reaction to being told that he knows nothing – a mix of confusion, anger and curiosity. Investors often feel that they are getting the same message from the "market," and have the same reaction as Jon Snow to being told that they "know nothing."
The downturn in energy Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) provided that sort of message in the latter part of 2014, as investments that were thought to be somewhat insulated from falling commodity prices fell sharply during the oil bust. After the initial reaction to the downturn – confusion and anger – many investors moved on to the curiosity stage and asked whether the downturn created a buying opportunity.
The Asset Class
Energy MLPs have long been of interest to investors for their yield, capital appreciation potential and inflation-hedging characteristics. Distributing 90% of their income by law, MLPs have been a popular alternative for investors starved for yield in a low interest rate environment.
Energy MLPs are engaged in the production, transport, and refining of energy products such as crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) such as ethane, propane, and butane found in natural gas.
Those three main business activities – production, transport, refining – define the three segments of the energy MLP space.
- Upstream MLPs are mainly involved in production of oil and natural gas. These firms should do well in times of increased energy production, such as occurs with an expanding economy. They are sensitive to low energy prices, which reduce the profitability of their projects.
Oil price sensitivity tends to make upstream MLPs more cyclical than other energy segments – creating expectations of more volatile market prices and dividend payouts.
- Midstream MLPs supply the infrastructure to transport, process and store energy products. They are classically known as "pipeline" businesses, but their business activities can include gathering, treating, processing and logistics. Midstream MLPs thrive when they can expand cost-effectively into new infrastructure projects and when activity volumes are stable or increasing. Midstream MLPs have benefited greatly from the U.S. energy renaissance created by unconventional energy production techniques. Midstream MLPs are considered to be relatively insensitive to energy prices, because they primarily are paid fee-based prices based on volume rather than on the price of the energy. More than half of MLPs are in the midstream segment.
Many investors consider midstream MLPs to be a hedge against inflation, because their fees often increase in line with inflation, while their volumes tend to rise in tune with a growing economy.
- Downstream MLPs convert basic energy materials into value-added products. Downstream MLPs operate refineries and their products include NGLs as well as heating oil, gasoline and other fuel products.
As buyers or users of basic energy commodities, they may be adversely affected by high energy prices and fluctuations in demand. This is a diverse group with idiosyncratic performance drivers.
Major direct influences on performance include recent energy price declines caused by global over-supply as well as the current increase in energy production within the United States. MLPs are also an interest-rate sensitive investment, so the outlook for interest rates is an additional factor behind MLP performance.
Recent Performance
The oil glut and resultant pressure on oil prices hit upstream MLPs the hardest. (See Chart 1 below) Almost all upstream MLPs cut their distribution rates in recent months; the average reduction of distributions was 50%. Industry observers warn that the highly leveraged nature of upstream MLPs make further distribution cuts almost inevitable should energy prices remain low.
Midstream MLPs held up comparatively well during the downward spiral of oil prices, though they've been laggards relative to the broad equity market. Short-term demand has picked up in the face of lower price levels. However, low prices have caused upstream MLPs to cut investment in extraction projects, which could have an adverse effect on future volumes.
The longer-term demand picture looks bright for the midstream segment, though. The energy renaissance means that the U. S. is still in need of major infrastructure projects to transport energy, and a further boost may come from increased demand caused by improving economic activity, though the economic picture is far from clear.
Downstream MLPs have benefitted from lower energy prices, but that has been balanced with sluggish economic activity. Results have been mixed.
Oil Decline Period is 7/31/2014 – 12/31/2014 Oil Trough Period is 12/31/2014 – 3/31/2015

M&A / Consolidation Activity
MLPs have been on center stage in the merger and acquisition parade in recent months. Three recent stories stand out in the news – Sunoco, Kinder Morgan and Williams.
In March 2015, Sunoco spun off its logistics business to form Sunoco Logistics Partners. Sunoco's motivation was to "unlock" the value of low-volatility assets that were perceived as underpriced by the stock market. Hess has publicly stated that they plan a similar MLP spin-off.
But the MLP structure can be complex and some partnerships end up being squeezed by large payments they make to the sponsoring corporation that serves as the General Partner. The payments are meant to encourage the company's management to keep paying out more to investors, but can become a financial burden on the partnership as it tries to grow.
Kinder Morgan, an industry leader and pioneer in popularizing the MLP structure, last year did an about-face by consolidating its three MLPs back into the parent corporation. Kinder Morgan's three MLPs were making high payments back to the general partner, payments that lowered the yield on the MLPs and hindered their stock market value. Kinder Morgan's rationale was to simplify a structure that was becoming difficult to manage, provide greater dividend growth and visibility and obtain a lower cost of capital to pursue expansion opportunities.
Williams Companies, another major industry player, announced a similar consolidation in mid-May following the same rationale as Kinder Morgan. Analysts are expecting more simplification deals, and say the Williams merger likely won't be the last. A smaller midstream company, Crestwood Equity Partners LP, has already unveiled a $3.5 billion merger to simplify its structure by taking a master-limited partnership back in-house.
Investment Vehicles
Taxes are a prominent consideration when selecting the type of vehicle to use when investing in MLPs.
Separately Managed Accounts
Direct ownership of MLPs in an SMA is on its face the simplest way to invest. With an SMA structure, the investor receives the full tax benefits of MLP ownership, namely tax-deferred distributions and avoidance of taxation at the partnership level.
For many investors, however, the complexity of the partnership structure creates personal tax complications. Each MLP issues annual K-1 tax forms, which often arrive late in the tax season. MLPs also create complications if owned in 401ks and IRAs.
Mutual Funds and Exchange Traded Funds
Mutual funds and ETFs have similar tax and regulatory issues related to MLP ownership.
Mutual funds and ETFs are effectively limited to owning no more than 25% of their portfolio in MLPs. Holding greater than 25% of the fund/ETFs in MLPs would negate the tax status of the vehicle, forcing the fund or ETF to be taxed as a C-corporation rather than a registered investment company. This means paying corporate taxes at the fund level before passing income along to fund shareholders. This corporate tax cuts into the yield and returns of the fund.
Maintaining less than 25% invested in MLPs avoids this double-taxation issue, but has a dilution disadvantage for investors. With only 25% in MLPs, the fund manager must invest the remainder of the portfolio in other assets such as stocks of energy corporations. These other stocks may offer similar sector exposure as MLPs, but likely lack the high yields and investment characteristics that make MLPs attractive to investors in the first place.
Exchange Traded Notes
Exchange traded notes (ETN) are fixed income instruments designed to reproduce the returns and yields of an MLP index, but without holding any of the underlying index holdings. The ETN structure offers several advantages over competing investment vehicles. There is no 25% MLP maximum to contend with. Tax consequences are equally simple; the fund company issues a Form 1099 for the income.
ETNs have disadvantages. All of the income from this debt instrument is taxed as ordinary income, with none of the deferral benefits of actual MLP ownership. As with any debt instrument, there is default risk.
Outlook and Recommendation
We believe that MLPs offer investors advantages that are not available from other investments and represent a good long term holding. We recommend MLPs as part of a diversified portfolio for income-focused investors, based on their income payouts, potential for capital appreciation and inflation-hedging characteristics.
The debate between active and passive management is as vigorous in the MLP asset class is in most asset classes. We see the virtues of both arguments, but are wary of active management in the MLP asset class. Much of the best recent performance among individual MLPs has come from deal-related activity, which is notoriously difficult to predict. Some of the worst performers have been pressured by financial stress caused by macroeconomic factors, also not easy to reliably anticipate. The MLP universe isn't particularly large, which we think makes it difficult for an investor to gain a sustainable edge.
For the majority of clients, we recommend a passive ETN approach. The yields are sufficiently high and the taxes extremely straightforward. Also, performance is unhindered by added layers of taxes.
We considered raising our allocation to MLPs after the reversal of fortune they experienced in recent months. We've continued to hold MLPs, but haven't raised our allocation because of the risks we see for the asset class. Because MLPs are required to pay out the vast majority of their earnings, they have to borrow to fund growth. Consequently, MLPs are dually vulnerable to rising interest rates, affected by increasing cost of capital as well as competition from fixed income investments that become more attractive competitors in a more normalized interest rate environment.
Though we are in the camp of rates staying "lower longer," we recognize the risk of being complacent about the interest rate outlook. Another cautionary factor keeping us from raising our allocation to MLPs is their reliance on the capital markets for funding. Again, although our base case is for markets to "grind" higher and for liquidity to remain available, we consider there to be an elevated risk for a market reversal. A severe reversal could impair access to liquidity for MLPs.

Are there websites with reviews on moving companies?
I love using online reviews, and I have a feeling I'm not alone. What people have to say about products and services I'm planning on purchasing has a huge impact on my decision to take the plunge. If we're traveling, I always look up reviews for hotels and restaurants in the area. If I decide to get a haircut at a new salon, I never walk in the door without searching for reviews – who wants to walk out with a horrendous style. Since moving scams are very common and I would hate to hand over all of my belongings and things I worked hard for, just to have a shady mover take advantage of me, it makes sense that I would also look for websites with reviews on moving companies BEFORE I move.
If you're also a fan of online reviews, here is a helpful list for websites with reviews on moving companies.
Movingscam.com - When searching for moving company reviews, I would first check out Moving Scam. The site was started years ago by a man who was scammed by a mover. He created this site for real customers to talk about their experiences with moving companies. It's a great place to see if the company you're inquiring about is a scam, or a real company. Along with information on scams, they also have reviews of moving companies from customers. I think you'll find it a super helpful resource for getting the reviews on moving companies that you need.
Epinions.com- Epinions is a site dedicated to helping people "make informed buying decisions." The site allows customers to review products and services by giving in-depth reviews and evaluations. This means you can read what real customers think of the moving companies they used. When you get to Epinions, click on "Home and Garden" and then find "Moving Companies." U-Pack® is proud to have a 4.5 star rating on epinions.com!
Better Business Bureau- bbb.org –The Better Business Bureau seeks to advance marketplace trust by creating community of trustworthy businesses and setting standards for integrity and performance. Once you get to the site, click "USA site" and then "Check out a business or charity." Then just type in the business name. The BBB posts whether any claims have been filed against the business. Also, the Better Business Bureau rates businesses on an A to F scale. It is helpful to see how this organization rates the business you want to work with. U-Pack has a A+ rating with the Arkansas BBB (Arkansas is where we're based out of)!
Of course, these aren't the only ones, you can also search places like Technorati to see if anyone has blogged about a company in their personal blog. We've also seen reviews in sites like Kudzu.com and Yelp.com.When you check out the websites with reviews on moving companies, you'll see that U-Pack has great reviews! If you want to be one of U-Pack's satisfied customers, start with a free moving quote! You'll find out how you can move with U-Pack affordably! Call or click today – 800-413-4799.

I know, it's been a while since A. D. A. T. O. K. was what the name originally represented. In my defense I haven't been much in an office kitchen ever since. But! Found a new job lately, got a new office and new coffee machine – although I still don't spend much time in the kitchen since there is literally no heating there (for deeper level of understanding what a great loss that is to me, see also i hate winter, thank you) – so it was about time I gave you a peek to the average days of my new office life. I present thee:
Well of course it's a bit of an exaggeration, I mean of course I'm not pointing or whispering to an imagine audience. That would be crazy. And I find that by time it's getting better, for example there are certain days lately when I don't even ask for his autograph.
