BackgroundMicroglial cells are important effectors of the neuronal innate immune system with a major role in chronic neurodegenerative diseases. Curcumin, a major component of tumeric, alleviates pro-inflammatory activities of these cells by inhibiting nuclear factor kappa B NFkB signaling. To study the immuno-modulatory effects of curcumin on a transcriptomic level, DNA-microarray analyses were performed with resting and LPS-challenged microglial cells after short-term treatment with curcumin.
MethodsResting and LPS-activated BV-2 cells were stimulated with curcumin and genome-wide mRNA expression patterns were determined using DNA-microarrays. Selected qRT-PCR analyses were performed to confirm newly identified curcumin-regulated genes. The migration potential of microglial cells was determined with wound healing assays and transwell migration assays. Microglial neurotoxicity was estimated by morphological analyses and quantification of caspase 3-7 levels in 661W photoreceptors cultured in the presence of microglia-conditioned medium.
ResultsCurcumin treatment markedly changed the microglial transcriptome with 49 differentially expressed transcripts in a combined analysis of resting and activated microglial cells. Curcumin effectively triggered anti-inflammatory signals as shown by induced expression of Interleukin 4 and Peroxisome proliferator activated receptor α. Several novel curcumin-induced genes including Netrin G1, Delta-like 1, Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1, and Plasma cell endoplasmic reticulum protein 1, have been previously associated with adhesion and cell migration. Consequently, curcumin treatment significantly inhibited basal and activation-induced migration of BV-2 microglia. Curcumin also potently blocked gene expression related to pro-inflammatory activation of resting cells including Toll-like receptor 2 and Prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2. Moreover, transcription of NO synthase 2 and Signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 was reduced in LPS-triggered microglia. These transcriptional changes in curcumin-treated LPS-primed microglia also lead to decreased neurotoxicity with reduced apoptosis of 661W photoreceptor cultures.
ConclusionsCollectively, our results suggest that curcumin is a potent modulator of the microglial transcriptome. Curcumin attenuates microglial migration and triggers a phenotype with anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties. Thus, curcumin could be a nutraceutical compound to develop immuno-modulatory and neuroprotective therapies for the treatment of various neurodegenerative disorders.

One thing I like to do every year is to be sure to hit the rodeo at the Sonoma County Fair in the summertime. Summer = Rodeo and has for many, many years. My daughters and I used to hit almost every local rodeo in the area, sometimes with a posse of gay cowboys (a long story, and one of the best bunch of guys to hang out with. Ever.) or with my girlfriends. There was the year that I worked security at the Russian River Rodeo - what a fun time that was. Little did I know then, but one of my closest friends ever was working the same rodeo (before we met), though she was in the chutes with the stock, twistin' tails. I lost touch with the Posse and many of my rodeo girlfriends moved away, so I drifted into our rodeo days being more limited. We really make an effort to see it at the fair every summer, though, and I think we've only missed it once in the last 15 years.
This summer, money is tight. I knew that we would make it to the fair, but didn't know about being able to hit the grandstand to watch the action in the dirt. The law firm I work for has a tradition that we look forward to every year - they give each of us employees a ticket to the fair and an afternoon off work to enjoy it. What a treat! Becca's price of admission is low, so I knew that we would make it to at least wander around, see the sights, eat some junk food, and have a good time.
We listen to Froggy 92.9 country radio every morning, and Becca has become a real wiz at winning things. She entered a drawing contest and won me a brand new refrigerator for Mother's Day. Woo-hoo! The same day we won the fridge, she won tickets to the races, too, but I had to have her decline them when I found out, 'cause there's a 30 day waiting period between winning prizes. We've been trying to win tickets to see Miranda Lambert, who's playing at the fair on Monday, but haven't been successful. Then the other night, because I'm a registered listener with the station, I received an e-mail telling me that if I reply with my phone number, I had a chance of winning tix to see Miranda, the Zac Brown Band, or rodeo. You can bet I replied right away!!
The following day (Thursday), I was checking in with my co-worker, KP, when my cell phone went off. I glanced at the number and muttered, "I don't know you," and declined the call. As soon as I hit the button, I thought, "Oh, no!!" I explained to KP that I had entered the contest and was suddenly afraid that that might have been the call telling me I won! Shortly thereafter I checked voice mail, and sure enough - it was Dano telling me that I had won rodeo tickets!! Yee Haw! I was so thankful that I could call back, but it had to be quick, or he was going to go down his list. I was able to reach him and make arrangements to pick up the tickets, which I did same day, on my lunch hour. Two tickets to the rodeo, plus fair admission. We were set.
Friday was killer at work. Tons of work to push out before I could leave, and I didn't get out as early as planned. Still, I was on the road, picked up Becca, and made it to the fairgrounds well before I would have normally gotten off of work. The first thing, of course, is to get something to eat. I'd forgotten breakfast until we were at the end of the driveway (about a mile from the house) and had skipped lunch. Famished! We went to Ibleto's stand, where we always get a plate of pasta with garlic bread to split, and sat down to have some food. Then, it was off to the carny. Becca's favorite part of the fair is rides. There was a great deal going where for $20 you could get a wristband for unlimited rides. Given that tickets are $1 each and the good rides are 5-6 tickets each, this was a considerable savings for a Ride Maniac. I had told Bex before we went to the fair that I wouldn't be paying for rides. Our budget for food and entertainment inside the fair was a strict $20 (I am amazed, but we stuck to it!). She brought some of her allowance she's been saving for a game system, and purchased her own wristband. We proceeded around the carnival, laughing and running from ride to ride.
I watched from the sidelines, taking pictures, people watching, smiling and waving at her while she had fun whizzing through the air. There were a couple of rides at the fair with signs indicating that they had previously been located at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch. We enjoyed listening to the stream of MJ's music throughout the carny. Whatever struggles he had in his personal life, he was a musical genius, and his music always makes me happy (much more so than Lady Gag-Gag, which was playing at one of the rides).
We went all the way around the carnival area, and Becca got on every ride she wanted to. The lines were amazingly short, there was rarely much of a wait, if any. Once we'd made the rounds, we headed over to get a funnel cake to share and big cup of lemonade. We unfortunately got the food and drink before remembering that we couldn't go into the Hall of Flowers with them, so we missed that this year. We walked through the Sustainable Sonoma area, looking at solar panels, rainwater collection info, and windmills. Of course, there was a Zap car there, and this small solar powered vehicle that I'd never seen before. Way cool.
The funnel cake was too hard to manage while walking, so we sat and listened to some music and people-watched for a bit while we finished it, then headed off to see the critters. We both enjoyed seeing piglets, a couple of Nubian goat kids, and Border Collie puppies (I want one!), in addition to the draft horses, cows and other farm animals. We also got to see a chick starting to break through its egg, on its way out into the world for the first time.
We were coming up on time for the rodeo to start, so we headed back to allow Becca to go on rides a couple more times, then headed to the arena. Our seats were really good, but man it was getting COLD! We have had an unusually mild summer, and it is crazy how it feels like Fall at the end of July. We sat in the grandstands for a while, and then decided there was no way we were going to make it through the rodeo without getting jackets and blankets from the car. I hated missing the opening of the show, but we started walking out quickly to make it back as soon as we could. On our way out of the grandstands, someone called out to me, and I was happy to see my old neighbor, Lisa C., who's the daughter of my previous landlord. She'd lived next door to my place on the ranch for a long time, and I really like and miss the family. Last time we were at the rodeo she was barrel racing, but I guess not this year.
We hustled hard to get to the car and back to the arena, bundled up and ready now. Luckily, we hadn't missed too much, and we enjoyed the rest of the show. It was nice to see the higher caliber contestants this year. It had not been as good of a show the last time we came, because the economy was hitting people so hard that very few of the good cowboys were able to travel to as many rodeos. Regardless of the lame joke made by the MC about the failure of the stimulus package, it was evident that things are better than they were a couple years ago. We're not back on our feet yet, but we're starting to get up and find our way - though I have a feeling we'll need to be finding a new way. Lacking this year was the big intermission show I'm used to, but the goat show with the rodeo clown was entertaining.
After some really good bull riding, we headed out with the crowd as it spilled back into the fair. We had our own critters at home waiting for us to tuck them in for the night, so we resisted the urge to hang out at the fair and let Becca ride the rides a little more. I did say it was okay for her to go down the slide again on our way out. When we got home, Salsa and her kids were hollering at us, but they're always the ones to greet us when we are coming home, or even just when we go outside. After we tucked in the last goat, Becca and I did our "high five" routine at the barn door, and then she gave me a big hug and I hugged her back. She said, "I love your hugs. They are the best." Aaaawwwww... With the ups and downs we go through as she moves into her teenage years, these moments of reconnection and shared happy moments are priceless. What a great day.
I find myself starting over again, creating new goals and being amazed at how I find my way through and to this new way of living. I am daring to dream bigger now, realizing that it may actually be possible to have all that I wish for, a life that brings deep joy that is found in honest work performed with heart. This path started with a dream barely formed, and that dream continues to take shape in surprising ways.

Simulating the Atmospheric Response to a Wildland Fire using a Cloud-Resolving Model
Marshall Stageberg, Michigan State University
Usage Details
The goal of this project is to investigate complex flows that occur in the vicinity of a wildland fire. These flows are primarily driven by heat and moisture released from the fire. Since extreme conditions in the fire environment make collecting meteorological observations difficult, we employ a high-resolution model to simulate the atmospheric responses to a fire. We employ the Cloud Model 1 because it is designed to simulate high-resolution, cloud-scale processes that are relevant for fire-atmosphere interactions. Our simulations will establish the sensitivity of fire-induced flows to heat and moisture fluxes from the fire and to atmospheric stability and wind profiles. Our results will help us to better understand the sensitivity to these variations of the inflow/outflow patterns and of the atmospheric perturbations. The simulations, when combined with available observations, will help diagnose the character of fire-atmosphere interactions, which will then help inform operational decision-making when fighting fires.

It all began, in 1992, with my first solo paper-art
exhibition at Design Forum Finland in Helsinki. Before that I had
been living in Canada for some years and was inspired by North American
paper-art of the 1980´s.
In 1997 I began to form paper on metal grids,
illuminating them from behind. I presented these works in the "Fiber"
paper-art exhibition in Fiskars, Finland. My first installation
with 48 paperlamps was born.

Most parents worried about their children's safety of the toys they play. Recent news reveals the truth of how dangerous toys can wind up as. For example, Aqua dots, best selling toy, were actually discovered supply with 'date rape' drug when ingested. These toxic toys can jeopardize your children's health like potential chocking hazards and it might are responsible for brain damage or a whole lot worse.
And currently has several choices already on hand these days. There is solar, wind and tide power to mention a variety of. And there are still other options simply searching us to use them. If a number of do this, it will really make the demand for oil low enough to insure that it is available at much discounted. Using other choices for energy sources will not merely the lower prices of oil based products but will also help to reduce its side effects from extensive use.
I can suggest an a handful of ways you are able to useful information to take you step-by-step through the subject of DIY electricity and also start building your own solar and Wind Power brands. What I will say for right now is how the web offers hundreds of tools useful. You need to be careful when making your tweeze.
Another consideration you should consider is the availability of wind in where you live. Maybe your area is much less windy but has a lot of water supply; in that case building wind turbine will be useless.
If someone asked you what wind power birds and bats electricity is, what would you say? Its likely you gives an answer like the idea. "It turns the suns rays into power." and although task quite not wrong, it is not a very detailed answer.
Valerian & Skullcap – I've used both together in small doses and not suffered any adverse effects. Again, I took only small quantities of both. Say, one capsule each. When two herbs seem to provide the same or similar function, I look upon them as two brothers who took on this is equally job. Far better let them work confidentially.
There are two regarding electric garden fences. One is visible, and the other is underground. The commonest type used is previously mentioned ground fencing. Most of them have line which isn't made from polyethylene, that's combined with metal elements. This way you have a strong line, but still have metal, to conduct the household current through.
A folks lifestyle has grown to be the responsibility of each man or woman. Planet is quickly using its resources as well as need to step to around the registration. Take one step today by switching off light whenever you exit the area.

Manchester Airport—Málaga Airport—Mijas
02:15 Taxi
07:05 Manchester Airport
11:10 Málaga Airport
Hotel Puerta Del Sol, Mijas
The alarm clock sounded at 12.45am; and some minutes later, I got up… Did my last bits of packing.
Below, on the ground floor, we found the Monarch Airlines check-in desks. "Have you checked in on-line?" asked a woman who was directing those who approached. I answered, "No";[ii] and she waved us in the direction of the long line of passengers snaking this way and that between the tape-and-stanchion barriers to the check-in desks. "We have 'Priority Check-in', though," I added; so she waved us instead in the direction of a desk, adjacent to the others, that had perhaps only a couple of people waiting. From there we went through Security; although there were a lot of people waiting, snaking this way and that between tape-and-stanchion barriers, it didn't take all that long to get through — and it was without any hold-up and additional scanning and checking this time. I hate it "air-side": I loathe the duty-free shop "maze", with its stifling, nauseating perfume-mélange assaulting the nostrils, through which you have to meander to get to the boarding-gates area (I always feel a strong urge to kick over the obscenely replete stacks e.g. of whisky bottles that one is forced to pass); and I find kind of disheartening and debilitating all the multitudes milling about in the boarding-gates area. (The close-packed crowds waiting for security don't bother me in this way.) Janet bought a large banana and a Diet 7Up; and we managed to find a sandwich for me that wasn't lathered, as most of them are, in that foul oozing jissom slime commonly called "mayo". We made our way to the boarding gate, and had to wait a bit beyond the time given on the boarding pass; a long queue formed, but we joined a short queue next to it of those with "Priority Boarding".
We finally got to the man in the exit concourse carrying a "Riviera"-sign at ca.12.30pm, but were still waiting for others of our ca.50-strong party to arrive. His brief words to us as he ticked our names on his list were spoken with a somewhat "plummy" accent, so that I initially wondered if he might be English.[v] He led us out, and because Janet's arm was still sore [from a fall a few weeks ago], helped with her suitcase. There was a lift down to where coaches were parked; we used it, but because it was taking a long time to arrive, and there were so many of us, others wheeled their cases down a ramp. I supervised the loading of our two cases in the underbelly of the bus, while Janet boarded and found us a seat. It was now ca.12.50pm. The tour manager, who'd met us at the airport, introduced himself as "Manuel", and the driver also as "Manuel". He was aware of the bungling, inept character of that name in Fawlty Towers! Now it became evident from a hint of accent that Manuel was, in fact, Spanish; but his command of English idiom was excellent. We set out, passing on our right the San Miguel brewery, before turning right, heading south-westwards, more or less parallel to the coast, and finally turning right again and heading inland to the hotel, which was on the outskirts of Mijas. At one point, Manuel said that we were passing the holiday resort Torremolinos on our left, but that wasn't obvious from our position, because we were a mile or two from the actual coast. He said that tourists seeking the more cultural aspects of Spain such as ourselves shouldn't look down on those who just came for the sun and for fish and chips, for they were an asset to the Spanish economy. There was some risk, he told us, that our hotel rooms might not be ready, because check-out time was midday, and rooms had to be cleaned and changed for incoming guests after being vacated. He suggested that if that were so, we could get lunch or have a drink in the hotel first. He also proposed that those who wanted to, meet up at 3.30pm to be taken to the centre of Mijas for a guided walk around till ca.5.30pm. He changed this to 4pm.
When we got to the hotel, the keys were in fact available and he called our names and handed them out fairly quickly. There was iced water flavoured with slices of lemon available from a glass dispenser with a tap. It had also a herby flavour that I didn't immediately recognise, till someone said "mint". The key was a real metal key, not a plastic card. Our room number was "114". Because of people waiting for the lifts, I lugged the cases up the stairs to the floor above (the "first floor" in British parlance), only to discover that the room numbers there were two hundred and something — thus realising that our room was on the ground floor! In our room, when I tried to set a four-digit combination for the safe, I just kept getting a meaningless word "hold" on the display; so I went to reception. There was a fellow-guest waiting; and Manuel was also still there. "Safe?" he anticipated. The "Hotel Puerta Del Sol" had changed hands since he was last there (it was now "Hotel ILUNION Hacienda del Sol"), and there was a charge of €2.50 to receive a sheet of paper with an activation code on it.

Annual Meeting Mobile App Instructions
We are so excited to introduce you to the Annual Meeting Mobile App, called Yapp App. First introduced at the 29th IFSCC Congress and then highlighted on the platform's blog as a best app of the week, the Mobile App is a great way to enhance your Annual Meeting experience! You'll find a number of convenient capabilities waiting for you when you download, so begin making SCC72 connections, even before the opening remarks.
The easiest way to download is by using the link above. Another way to download, is by heading over to your app store, searching for 'Yapp App' and downloading Yapp, Inc. Once downloaded, you will be asked for a custom code. That custom code is SCC72 and once entered, it will take you to our very own app.
Here's what you can expect from the Annual Meeting Mobile App:
Never miss important information. Need to know the start time of the Suppliers' Cocktail Reception? Have a question about a Session location? You can find all this information and more on the app's News Feed. Not only will we be providing real time feedback throughout the duration of the Annual Meeting but you can also speak directly with SCC staff, so you will never be left in the dark.
In addition, you can engage with other attendees of SCC72 by posting your support, opinion and reviews. To make a post, use the notepad and pen located on the top right of the News Feed screen. When you've created the message you want to share, simply hit post and it's done.
This app sorts each scientific session by track (Advanced vs. NextGen) where essentially the order of events is already customized. However, if you are looking to attend sessions within both Tracks, then you can create a personalized calendar to stay ahead of schedule. Are you only looking to attend talks on Regulation, Claims, Latest Product Innovations and Intellectual Property? When you locate the topic in its designated track, you can then add each title to your 'My Schedule' calendar which will then list all the events you've selected for the duration of the Annual Meeting.
To create your calendar:
1. Click on the Agenda Icon
2. Click on talk you are interested in attending ex: Future of Cosmetic Science: Approaches to Formulating: The Emergence of Probiotic Skincare
3. Click on a session time – which will display additional information about the speaker and time of the presentation.

Q: Does radiation therapy hurt?A: No, radiation is like getting an x-ray.
Q: What are the possible side effects of radiation therapy?A: The side effects that you may experience will depend on the amount of radiation delivered and the area of your body being treated. Your health care team will talk to you about the side effects that you may experience before you start your radiation treatment and give you tips on how to manage them. Always let your health care team know about any side effects you experience, even if they seem minor.
Q: Will I be radioactive?A: If you have external beam radiation treatment the answer is no, you will not be radioactive. You can still enjoy the same contact with family and friends without fear of exposing them to radiation.
For most types of Brachytherapy Treatment the answer is no, you will not be radioactive. Some Brachytherapy treatments use radioactive sources which are put into your body and are not taken out. Your health care team will tell you about if this is the type of treatment you will have.
Q: What is a tattoo?A: A tattoo is a permanent freckle sized mark or dot that will always be on your skin. Tattoos are used by the radiation therapists to find the precise area of your body that will be treated every day.
Q: How long does it take?A: The radiation machine is only turned on for a few minutes for each treatment. The radiation therapy appointments are about 15 minutes long. It takes this amount of time to make sure that you are in the same position for the treatment every day. However there are some procedures, like Brachytherapy, that may take longer than 15 minutes and you will be told about that before your appointment.
Q: Do I have to come every day for treatment?A: The radiation oncologist will tell you how many treatments you will have. If you are to have many treatments you will likely come every day for treatments.
Q: Can I come at any time for my treatment?A: You will be given specific appointments, and you will be notified ahead of time if changes need to be made.
Brachytherapy is a type of radiation therapy treatment where a radioactive source is placed inside or next to the area where the cancer is. Brachytherapy may be used for cancers of the prostate, uterus, vagina, cervix, breast, skin, lung or esophagus.Your radiation oncologist will talk to you about the available treatment options. You and your radiation oncologist will create a specific treatment plan. Brachytherapy may be used alone or together with other treatment types such as surgery, radiation therapy (also known as external beam radiation therapy) and chemotherapy.There are many steps involved in Brachytherapy:

Five stages of the bearing life cycle
2017 January 31, 09:00 GMT
Computer modelling programs allow machine designers to determine, with some confidence, how long their bearing is going to last. But not every bearing achieves its calculated life. What other factors, then, are at play in determining the actual life of a bearing?
While modern desktop techniques have certainly eased the burden of bearing life prediction, there's no getting away from the fact that a bearing's initial installation, setting and subsequent care-in-service will ultimately determine its life expectancy. Indeed, a bearing's life can be broken down into several distinct stages, each of which will define its requirements regarding the maintenance methods and tools that it will need in service; ignore these and a bearing's chances of achieving its expected service life will be significantly curtailed.
Research shows that 16 per cent of bearing failures are due to incorrect fitting, 36 per cent to incorrect or poor lubrication and 14 per cent to contamination of the bearing surfaces. Collectively, these problems contribute directly to the remaining 34 percent of failures, which are due to bearing fatigue occurring well before the predicted life span.
Premature bearing failure can be costly in terms of lost production and consequent damage to other parts of a machine or process, but it is avoidable if the right methods and appropriate tools are applied across the full lifecycle of the bearing. These methods and tools cover five distinct stage of a bearing's lifecycle, from installation through care-in-service to final dismantling - namely, mounting, lubrication, alignment, condition monitoring and dismounting. Let's look at each of these in turn:
Mounting - This is a critical stage in a bearing's lifecycle and choosing the right methods will have a big impact on its performance and service life. Small and medium sized bearings are generally cold mounted, and while a hammer and a length of old pipe may seem appropriate tools for this job, if that pipe isn't precisely the right size, the installation forces could be transmitted through the rolling elements rather than the casing, damaging the raceways before the bearing has even turned. Proper installation tools are designed to have an interference fit that ensures forces are only applied to the retaining ring of the bearing, avoiding damage to other parts of the bearing assembly.
For larger bearings, heat is often used to expand the bearing housing prior to mounting. Traditionally, these bearings are immersed in a heated oil bath prior to installation, but this can introduce contamination, shortening their life as well as posing safety hazards associated with the handling of hot, slippery components prior to installation. Purpose-built induction heaters are more suitable; as well as avoiding contamination or damage due to excessive or uneven heating, these also allow the bearing to be heated with greater efficiency, in a controlled and safe manner.
An increasing number of bearing applications are being designed specifically to facilitate easier fitting and removal, often using hydraulic techniques. With SKF's oil injection method, for example, oil is injected at high pressure through ducts and grooves machined into the shaft, creating a thin film between it and the bearing, greatly reducing the force required to push the bearing into place.
Alignment - Poor shaft alignment results in greatly increased friction, increasing energy consumption and shortening the life of bearings and other components. Shaft alignment has traditionally been achieved using techniques ranging from a simple straight edge to manual dial gauges, the first being quick but inaccurate, the second fiddly and time consuming to set up. Recent developments in shaft alignment technologies, however, have simplified the procedure. SKF's TKSA 11, for example, is an affordable, inductive sensor-based alignment tool that connects directly to a smartphone or tablet to provide step-by-step guidance through the entire alignment process.
Lubrication - An effective bearing lubrication programme ensures that an appropriate quantity of the correct lubricant is delivered by the right method to reach the right point at the right time. Achieving this in a real production environment, however, requires close attention to the whole lubricant supply chain, from selection to delivery, storage, application and end-of-life disposal. SKF, for example, offers a bespoke lubrication management service, which includes an audit of customer requirements, lubrication programme development and the supply of appropriate tools and materials.
Condition monitoring – Once confined to the care of high-value, critical assets, condition monitoring techniques like vibration, speed and temperature monitoring can now be achieved using a wide variety of simple and affordable portable measuring devices that can help build a clearer picture of the performance of a machine in service, allowing service interventions to be scheduled as and when they are needed, rather that periodically, which can be wasteful.
Economical, self-contained sensors, like SKF's Machine Condition Indicator CMSS 200 can be permanently attached to individual machines, automatically monitoring basic parameters such as temperature and vibration, and alerting operators via an LED display when a change in operating conditions suggests further investigation is warranted. For multi-machine production lines, SKF's '@ptitude' Asset Management System connects condition monitoring hardware – including CMSS indicators - seamlessly across the enterprise on one integrated, networked platform.
Dismounting - When dismounting, there is always the chance that a perfectly serviceable bearing will be damaged in the process, so if it is intended for reuse, here are some golden rules to follow: never hit the bearing rings (or any other part) directly; do not allow the bearing withdrawal force to be transmitted through the rolling elements; and do not heat the bearing with an open flame.
Removing bearings with the right tools doesn't just save time; it also reduces the chance of damage to shafts and equipment during removal. SKF manufactures a comprehensive range of hydraulic and mechanical bearing pullers, including special designs for 'blind' applications where bearings are installed with an interference fit on both rings. When used on tapered shafts, the oil injection method described above can even be used to force the bearing off the shaft without the need for a separate bearing puller.
Bearing life is, to some extent, a calculable quantity, but variability enters the equation if some common sense rules are not followed when installing and caring for these components. Attending to the five stages of a bearing's lifecycle will ensure that the rewards of good service and longevity are reaped.

Located between the six cabins and in front of the new bath house, it is hard to believe this small cottage once was the camp's bath house.
After the new bath house was built, the House of Esther was completely remodeled and renamed.
During Camp Mardela's summer camping programs, the House of Esther serves as the infirmary and nurse/lifeguard's quarters.
The open interior has plenty of room for its three hospital style twin sized beds, a desk, and a full bath. While it's central location is the perfect place for an easily accessible nurse's station, many rental groups also like to use the House of Esther as their director's quarters for the same reason.

Beginner & Advanced Shooting Adventures: We have had two types of camps; a Beginner Firearms Safety Adventure for 11 - 13 year old and an Advanced Shooting Adventure (youths with their Firearm Safety already) for ages 12 -15. Campers at the Beginners Shooting Adventure achieve their Firearm Safety certificate with classroom, field experience and hands-on learning. The campers fill up their afternoons with fun, educational outdoor activities. Much time is spent on how to actually hunt pheasants, with the highlight of the adventure ending with an actual pheasant/chukar hunt. The Advanced Shooting Adventure is similar to the Beginners Adventure but, of course, does not include 20 hours required by the Firearm Safety training. In the Advanced Shooting Adventure, there is much more actual shooting; mostly at sporting clays, and an even bigger pheasant/chukar hunt at the end.
New Pro-Advanced Shooting Adventure: Our camps have been very popular, the youth first come to our camp at age 11 and we see them year after year until they turn 16. We have been asked many times from our former campers to host a camp for ages 15+. Hunters 15 to 17 are invited to apply to come to our Pro Advanced Shooting Adventure in July . This adventure will involve shooting 2 cases of shells in four days, bow shooting, afternoon activities, Rice Creek shooting competition, pheasant/chukar hunt, actual cooking lessons and actual cooking of the pheasant/chukar, and a whole lot more!

Lightening Strikes Twice
This just in: "Congratulations! Your story, " Waltzing with Birdie," has won an Editors' Choice Award from Fiction Writers Platform. We encourage you to celebrate this award and share it with your network."
Proof that lightening strikes twice. I'm sharing. This is the second editor's choice award my stories have earned this year. If you're a writer and have short stories you'd like to showcase while building an audience, consider participating in the Fiction Writers Platform.
It's free, easy to join and it helps build that online presence agents and publishers say they're looking for. The site gets about 20,000 visitors a month. More than 75 writers participate.
Thanks for finding the time to check out the site, read "Waltzing with Birdie," and commenting on the story.
Induction ceremony included a delicious lunch on the patio, light ocean breezes, and music by Monte Montana and Country legend Lynn Anderson (hit: "Big Girls Don't Cry") along with actor and rancher Wilford Brimley who gained fame by performing in movies such as; "The Hotel New Hampshire", John Carpenter's "The King", "Cocoon", and "The Firm." Wilford also played a role in the 80's drama series, "Our House" and "The Waltons". He may be remembered best for his recent Quaker Oats and Liberty Medical commercials.
These days my niece, Tara, is carrying on the family tradition, a top rider with the Sacramento-area 4-H Equestrian Program. So, when I'm not rodeoing, I'm at horse and livestock shows. Today I'm off to the California State Fair's sheep barn for the judging. My friend David's, daughter is competing, having won the sheep competition in Ventura County. So now you know, I'm just a cowgirl at heart. I'll get back to being a writer tomorrow. Yeehaw!

Emmy Award host Jimmy Kimmel blamed television producer Mark Burnett for making Donald Trump happen in his open monologue, but it's Julia Louis-Dreyfus who took responsibility for his presidential campaign.
During her "thank you" speech, the Veep actresses apologised for the "current political climate" in the United States that has Trump running as the Republican nominee for the presidential seat against Democratic nominee Hilary Clinton.
Louis-Dreyfus said: "I'd like to take this opportunity to personally apologise for the current political climate. Our show started as a political satire, but it now feels like a sobering documentary."
"So I certainly do promise to rebuild that wall and make Mexico pay for it."
Burnett is the creator of the reality programme The Apprentice where contestant would compete for a spot in Trump's real estate company.
Louis-Dreyfus was accepting her fifth consecutive trophy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series at this Sunday night's ceremony in Los Angeles.
She won against Ellie Kemper, Amy Schumer, Lily Tomlin, Tracee Ellis Ross and Laurie Metcalf.The actress ended her speech with a dedication to her late father, who passed away on Friday.
"I'm so glad he liked Veep because his opinion was the one that really mattered," said Louise-Dreyfus in tears.
Louise-Dreyfus wasn't the only Seinfeld cast who was nominated for an Emmy. Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee was nominated for Outstanding Variety Series.
The night marked Seinfeld's return to the Emmy's after 19 years.

A Korean martial art, Taekwondo is a combination of self-defense and combat skills. It is used as a form of defense and makes use of the whole body. It includes skillful application of techniques like dodges, blocks, kicks, and punches. For Taekwondo masters, the art is more than just a way to defend themselves-it is a way of life, which requires them to be completely dedicated to the art. It is more than just learning the fighting techniques, but more about developing their inner self with strict discipline.
How did Taekwondo evolve?
Taekwondo is a combination of martial arts, most of which originated in Korea. Among the oldest disciplines, some of which are over 2,000 years old, that influenced the development of Taekwondo are Taek Kyon, Tae Kwonpup, Tae Kwon, T'ang-su, and Kwonpup. Use of circular hand movements influenced by Chinese martial arts can also be clearly seen in Taekwondo. It has also drawn inspiration from popular martial arts like Kung-fu (kicking techniques), Judo, and Karate (linear, abrupt movements).
The earliest mention of Taekwondo on record dates back to the time when Korea was divided into three kingdoms – Silla, Koguryo, and Paekche, around 50 B.C. Paintings of unarmed people from this period following modern day Taekwondo techniques are evidence of the origin of Taekwondo. The earliest known form of Taekwondo, Tae Kyon, is a self-defense art that uses kicks, hand strikes, throws, and joint locks.
Though Taekwondo was first practiced in the Koguryo kingdom, the credit of spreading it over Korea goes to the Hwarang warriors belonging to Silla. From 668 A.D. To 935 A.D., Taek Kyon (later renamed as Subak) served as a system to promote fitness among the soldiers. However, it was later developed into a fighting art. Though the defense form was allowed to be taught to the public during the rule of Yi dynasty, it failed to generate enough interest and was practiced only in a few parts of the country.
Revival of the art
The interest of Koreans in Subak renewed when the country was invaded by the Japanese. When the Japanese banned the practice of military arts in Korea and banned Korean books as well as languages, Korean patriots formed groups and started practicing Subak along with other self-defense forms. Karate, Judo, and Kung-fu were introduced officially to the public in 1943. By 1945, Korea developed several variations of Subak. The first school to teach Taekwondo was said to have started in 1945 in Seoul. Though the U.S. first saw the glimpses of Subak in the 1950s, the U.S. Taekwondo Association was formed in 1967. The American Taekwondo Association was founded in 1969 by Haeng Ung Lee, who premiered the Songahmstyle of Taekwondo in 1983. The World Taekwondo Federation, founded in 1973, is an organization recognized as the official international Taekwondo governing body by the Korean government.
ATA Park Karate was founded in 1990 in Roselle Park, NJ, by 8th degree black belt, Chief Master Vincent Raimondi. The school has received an Ambassador Award as one of the top five academies in the country.
All three of our locations offer a variety of programs, for pre-school children ages 3-6, and elementary ages children 7 and up, as well as teen and adult training. All programs incorporate physical fitness, self-defense and traditional Songahm Taekwondo, taught with a focus on life skills, all in a supportive, positive environment.
Under Chief Master Raimondi, all of our schools are dedicated to creating tomorrow's leaders- one black belt at a time.

A leading girls' school is allowing pupils to change their names to boys' names and wear boys' clothes. Pupils over the age of 16 at St Paul's Girls' School in West London can now enter a formal process to self-identify as boys or as "gender-neutral." So far, up to 10 sixth-form girls at the school are understood to have done so. St Paul's is a high-performing
private school with alumnae such as Harriet Harman, MP, and actress Rachel Weisz. Under the new policy, pupils over 16 can submit a written request to identify as male or "gender neutral." Pupils between 11-15 "can have discussions at any time" to explore their "gender identity," and will receive help to prepare for an application "at the right time". FULL STORY

Can someone point me in the right direction on how to submit data from a jQuery form to a ASMX webservice? I have gotten everything on the form ready to be submitted to the database and now I am stuck on how to send it over using $.ajax(). Everything I have read tells me how to get data from a webservice and display it with jQuery, but not the other direction nor how to access the json data within the within the webservice service(similar to a Request.Form approach with ASP.NET forms).
In other words:
1. What do I need to do to my webservice to make sure it can receive data from the jQuery form.
2. What do I need to do in jQuery to receive an acknowledgement the save on the server side was successful.
I can explain more if need be, but if there is a comprehensive tutorial on not only reading, but also WRITING data with jQuery, JSON, etc. I would love to get pointed in that direction.

I'm not 100% sure how to accomplish this, if some of you good provide me with some tips, tutorial or link to an article explaining it, that would be great

Oil Tank Supplies Ltd (OTS) was chosen to manufacture and install 2No 150,000L above ground steel bunded "SecuriTanks™" for a new CTV Refuelling System and storage of 300,000L marine gas oil. The facility has been developed for refuelling of the crew transfer vessels (CTV) operating on the offshore windfarm.
OTS was actively involved in the early design stages of the facility to ensure environmental compliance given the harbour location. Special consideration was paid to the external paint finish to provide minimum 10 year corrosion protection. The scheme had to be modular in design to allow ease of installation and subsequent removal on completion of the service contract. A further steel fill cabinet to provide a common fill point for both tanks along with environmental protection equipment. Connection points were provided off the tank for 3No CTV refuelling cabinets (installed by others).
OTS engineering team were also called upon to help a Netherlands based specialist contractor brought in to design and install a temporary tank base required to protect the quayside, this meant exacting tolerances needed in the tank construction given both tanks were linked with balance pipe manifold and common fill points.
The images below show the complexity of the tank lift and the size of mobile crane required (400t) to place the tanks to their final position on the quayside.
OTS specialises in the design, manufacture and installation of large bulk fuel storage tanks for fuel farms, distribution depots and 24/7 "pop up" filling stations. All tanks are designed in accordance with the COP Regulations and have a design life expectancy of 25 years.

It is imperative to prepare your fuel storage tanks before winter and sub-zero temperatures set in. Today's fuels contain up to 7% FAME (biofuel) which is hygroscopic with water held in suspension, storage tanks can be affected by falling temperatures and as the temperature plummets, fuel 'waxes'. The colder it becomes, the more difficult your fuel will be to pump or use, as it becomes thicker, known as cold filter plugging point (CFPP).
While generators are generally kept in a preheated room, fuel kept in an external storage tank may become so thick that it cannot be accessed and used. If in any doubt as to how to prepare your oil tanks for the winter, book a winter fuel assessment from a professional company.
All bulk tanks should be checked for sludge and water in the bottom, and anything other than clean fuel should be removed immediately.
Take a sample from the bottom middle and top of each fuel tank, ideally analysed in the "field" for water, particulate and bacterial contamination, or alternatively can be sent to a lab for fuel analysis, providing you with a fuel condition report. Fuel with suspended water in it will attract particular attention, if suspended or "free" standing water is found, it is essential this is removed through filtration/polishing of the fuel through a mobile recirculation process or installation of a fixed filtration system. This process will remove the water and heavy particulates from the tank, further fuel samples should be taken and analysed again to prove the fuel is clean and dry. Removal of water is paramount to tank cleanliness if left untreated microbial contamination will build upon the water/fuel interface, will exponentially double its size every twenty minutes, through secretion, acids may form and accelerate heavy corrosion of the tank internals.
Oil or diesel fuel is prone to gelling or waxing in low temperatures. Gelling or waxing are terms for the solidification of diesel into a crystalline or partially crystalline state. Once fuel reaches a temperature below the cloud point - the point at which the diesel becomes cloudy in appearance as it starts to thicken - solid wax particles develop, causing the oil to thicken, which then clogs up fuel injectors and filters. The building up of crystals in the fuel line will eventually cause the fuel to stop running and engines will cease as they are starved of fuel.
The British Standards Institution (BSi) have recognised the importance of fuel quality and cleanliness in their 2016 update of BS5410 Part 3 and noted concerns surrounding critical application standby generators, where the failure of a "critical" generator could result in loss of life. Where critical Standby generators are used, typically in Hospitals, Emergency Services, Highway maintenance, tunnels and other communication centres, BSi recommends a regime of regular fuel sampling and testing, 3monthly, or 6monthly if a fixed fuel filtration system is fitted. Fixed fuel filtration systems should be compliant with SAE J1488 2010_10, this test measures the efficiency of the filtration element to remove suspended or emulsified water in fuel.
Visit Oil Tank supplies for more information about fuel storage tanks.
There are many options to consider when investing in a new fuel storage tank. Design, capacity, dispensing equipment fitted to your tank, and most importantly, the tank material. Steel fuel tanks offer many benefits over plastic tanks, and by choosing a steel tank to store your fuel, you can expect to benefit in several ways. No matter whether it's diesel tanks, oil tanks or other types of fuel tanks you are looking for, steel fuel tanks are hard to beat.
Steel tanks are appropriate for a vast range of conditions and have a much longer lifespan than tanks made from plastic. While plastic tanks are susceptible to UV degradation, structural failures and damage from machines and vehicles, steel tanks can withstand accidental scrapes and knocks from onsite machinery and have a much better lifespan. A well-finished steel product can withstand the harshest of environments while providing many years of hassle-free refuelling and storage.
Fuel theft can be extremely inconvenient and costly, making the security of a fuel tank a top priority. Machinery and vehicle downtime caused by stolen fuel, possible environmental fines and of course, the cost of replacing the fuel itself, can have a significant negative effect on any business, so ensuring you have a strong and robust tank is essential. Fuel theft has risen in recent years, with thieves specifically targeting plastic tanks which are easier to break into. A well-designed tank that has been constructed out of steel is extremely hard to break into, providing better security and reducing the risks of your fuel being stolen.
The superior lifespan, durability and security of steel tanks provide much better value when compared to plastic tanks, especially over the long term. Plastic tanks can generally only be used in one location, as moving them usually invalidates their warranty. However, steel tanks can be moved and relocated at a future date, if required. This offers more flexibility to owners of steel tanks, and also allows owners to resell their tanks should their future needs change.
Plastic tanks must be installed according to their manufacturer's guidelines, which involves placing them on perfectly level concrete bases. The cost for the installation of this type of base alone often costs more than the price difference between plastic and steel tank options. To install a steel tank, minimal site preparation is required, and as long as the base is firm, flat and non-permeable as per the Environment Agency PPG2 guidelines, that is all that is necessary to comply and install a steel fuel tank.
Steel bunded tanks are used in a wide range of industries and applications, including Forestry, Agriculture, Haulage, Construction and Plant Hire. As they can be relocated between sites, even after many years of use in one site, this makes them the best choice for storage tank flexibility. UN approved steel bowsers and tanks are designed for both transporting and storing fuel, and for this reason, they are easily lifted and transported around a site, or transported on motorways. Certain steel models can even be transported full of fuel, making them the best and most reliable option for flexible fuel storage.
The British Standards Institution has recognised the importance of fuel quality and cleanliness in their 2016 update of BS5410-3: 1976, now withdrawn and superseded with the May 31st, 2016 release.
Concerns surround critical application standby generators whereby failure of a critical application generator could result in loss of life, a high cost of failure of applications such as emergency lighting or other "non-critical" applications. Such standby generators are typically used in hospitals, banks and other communication centres.
Filters are addressed in the update with guidance notes:
Note 1 since the introduction of Biofuel (FAME) into the fuels the quality and life expectancy of fuels has been adversely affected as FAME is hygroscopic so any water in the fuel goes into suspension. This water can lead to injector pump damage and facilitate the growth of bacteria which blocks conventional filters.
Note 2 removing as much water as possible preserves the quality of fuel and for critical standby generators only filters conforming to SAE J1488 2010_10 are to be used.
Filters should be duplicated or be of a type that permits maintenance with-out shut-down
Fuels for emergency generators should be tested every six months for quality and suitability if fitted with a fuel polishing system, if there is no polishing system the fuel should be tested every three months
Filters for "non-critical" generators should conform to OFS E104

The OTS TankStream family uses Internet connectivity for real time stock visibility.
Oil Tank Supplies has developed a range of electronic tank gauging products to support depot and wholesale fuel oil storage facilities. These gauges are used in conjunction with the appropriate instrumentation to measure tank levels, temperature and water content. The data is presented in a clear digital display which can be viewed both on-site and online by using TankStream - a dedicated stock monitoring system, which is operated by a standard web browser and does not require proprietary software.
Recommendations for site installations will vary according to operational requirements. In addition to stock monitoring, TankStream can be used with fuel conditioning systems and additional protective measures to prevent potential contamination by 'rogue' fuel deliveries. An important feature of the online connectivity is the ability to offer 'Real Time' remote monitoring with SMS messaging and e-mail alarm alerts.
The TankStream family covers all installation requirements from a single tank up to a larger scale distribution terminal.
TankStream LITE
The basic entry level display console is intended for local operation, covering two storage tanks. The tank contents are measured by pressure sensor devices. Features include a high level alarm and integrated bund alarms. This console can be integrated into a larger web-based network, using the TankStream Touch screen panel as the master console.
TankStream II
The full specification unit provides increased processing capacity for up to eight tanks. The user simply scrolls through the digital display listing to check individual tank contents. As well as recording the data in real time, the unit is also connected to the internet using GPRS telecoms technology to enable remote monitoring via an Internet connection.
TankStream Touch
This option provides the user with a consolidated overview presentation. Each of the depot tanks are presented as a graphic which can then be selected for more details. The data is collected from appropriate sensor devices used to measure height of fuel contents, ullage (free space) and water content etc.
Fuel Control System
Normally housed in a weather proof cabinet, the FCS provides all the information required to enable delivery tanker drivers to check the depot tank contents and obtain a printed receipt when either unloading or loading fuel. Most depots operate on a self-serve basis and OTS has simplified the process by integrating the tank contents gauge and the loading information into a single control panel with touch display.
In operation TankStream allows management to track and monitor their fuel storage facilities. For example, in a typical multi-depot haulage operation, the customer simply logs into his account through a web browser, to view his dashboard overview. This will show that he has a specific quantity of fuel across the network and how this is distributed between the actual tanks located at regional depots.
Rather than inventory alarms, the tank contents low level setting itself, can be used to trigger a purchasing instruction, so that stocks are replenished automatically. The supervisor can click on any depot to view the current status. Should there be any alarms, the system will send out an SMS message to key personnel, who must then acknowledge receipt in order to order to ensure traceability and full responsibility for any corrective action required.
Customers can also use the system to monitor the serviceability of the fuelling facilities. For instance output from pump and machine diagnostics monitoring nozzle switches, back lights, motor running electrical spikes and fuel flow through the pumps.
The system can also be used to monitor drainage tank interceptors and other security measures such as the closed circuit television. Potentially there is capacity to pick up some 200 or more devices or data entry gates. Driven by actual customer requirements, the development of OTS TankStream is moving towards the functionality of a full blown building management systems tool.
Transport operators are replacing underground fuel storage facilities with above ground installations - the Environmental Agency's now preferred option. As well as meeting the latest requirements for the protection of the environment, this approach allows greater flexibility when planning and updating depot facilities.
Build quality is crucial, since most fuelling points are exposed to the weather. OTS tanks are designed to offer a 20 year life expectancy. This is certified under OFTEC T200 specification for commercial oil storage installations.
"Regulations for the storage of fuel oil are under continual scrutiny," explains sales director, Steve Gain. "We can assure our customers that our tanks will be fully compliant with the latest requirements for BS 5410 Part 2 standard which was introduced in April."
Oil Tank Supplies (OTS) of Moreton in Marsh, Gloucestshire will be showcasing a mobile fuel quality test laboratory at the forthcoming FPS Expo 2012.
The emphasis this year will be tank maintenance and fuel quality monitoring. Video presentations will highlight the company's design and build capability. Recent projects include fuel oil distribution centres, several large scale fuelling facilities for transport operations and a harbour installation for fuelling sea going ferries.
OTS has also supplied its first BioTank, which has been installed for a national distribution chain specialising in chilled produce. Basically a standard diesel storage tank, the BioTank is fitted with a conditioning pack designed to prevent the build up of microbial contamination. Effectively this is a self cleansing capability to preserve the pristine quality of the wet-stock - as delivered from the refinery.
"We are expecting a lot of interest in the area of fuel cleansing and treatment procedures for bio fuels," says OTS sales director Steve Gain.
"The move towards higher percentage biofuel contents has necessitated more stringent hygiene in oil storage facilities. Water contamination can very quickly lead to the rapid deterioration in fuel quality."
A demonstration of diesel filtration will be centre piece of the OTS stand at the FPS show. This will be supported by specialists from the TankCare Division to discuss the need for fuel quality monitoring and tank hygiene.
Oil Tank Supplies expands presence at the forthcoming FPS Expo 2012 – the oil distribution industries annual show.

Newark. Nottinghamshire
Presentations at two locations
Oil Tank Supplies (OTS) of Moreton in Marsh, Gloucestshire has increased its participation at the forthcoming LAMMA farm machinery show. In addition to the presentation of fuel oil storage solutions in the outside area, the company has taken a stand within Hall 1 for OTS TankCare a specialist division providing fuel test and quality monitoring solutions.
"Having adequate fuel supplies available is an important part of the logistics behind the modern farm, sales OTS sales director Steve Gain. "Storage facilities need to be secure, convenient and compliant with environmental regulations. Large capacity tanks are usually customised and OTS personnel will be available to discuss customer requirements."
On display will be the Oil Transit Store – a portable tank which will hold 970 litres. The tank incorporates slots for loading onto a trailer for easier access to field operations. The tank is equipped with a 12 volt electric pump enabling it to be powered from the tractor electrics.
The move towards higher percentage biofuel contents has necessitated more stringent hygiene in oil storage facilities. Water contamination can very quickly lead to the rapid deterioration in fuel quality. Tanks should be drained when equipment is not in use and operators should avoid holding fuel stocks any longer than necessary to complete foreseeable operations.
OTS TankCare is a mobile service equipped to test fuel quality and provide fuel cleansing by recirculation of the tank contents through a filtration process. If fuel quality is in doubt, this process will safeguard productivity by removing contamination and any bacterial growth, which could potentially lead to machinery breakdowns.

Best Mining Equipment For Sale
Mining refers to the extraction of valuable minerals, metals and other geological materials from earth such as copper, tin, manganese, tantalum, iron ore, gold, silver and diamonds. Mining is never easy without the help of heavy-duty equipment in order to move earth and minerals in large earth moving and mining projects. Some of these equipment are used on road and highway projects such as articulated trucks and bulldozers. Surface mining heavy-duty equipment include giant machines like drills, electric shovels, mass excavator and giant drag lines. There are similarities between surface mining equipment and underground mining equipment which are used to move materials in a headroom and space environment. We will discuss the different mining equipment used in surface mining and underground mining.
An articulated dump truck is highly adaptable to rough terrain, which has a distinct cab and a dump box, and with a steering accomplished via hydraulic rams that pivot the entire cab. The two types of bulldozers are track and wheeled type. Bulldozers are known as shovel-like blade, however they are a combination of blade and crawler tractor. Bulldozers gives an excellent ground hold and mobility in a rough terrain, that is why they are considered as one of the most powerful tracked piece of equipment. Bulldozers have wide tracks that help in the distribution of weight over a large area to decrease pressure, so it prevents it from sinking in a muddy or sandy ground. Cable tractor pull cables such as an electrical cable for a mine shovel or wire ropes during changing of a shovel rope. Drag lines are one of the largest mobile equipment, which are used in strip-mining operations for moving overburden above coal and tar-sand mining. The purpose of using drills is to provide a "blast hole" into which explosives can be loaded and detonated for easier work on the job site.
Haul trucks have two forms which are the rigid frame and articulating frame, and they are used strictly off-road for heavy dirt hauling and mining jobs. Track loaders are capable of doing the task of an excavator, wheel loader and dozer, which is the reason why it remains a part of many mining companies. The heavy equipment wheel loader is used in loading loose materials such as dirt, feed, logs, snow and gravel, into or onto another type of machine such as a conveyor belt, dump truck, feed-hopper, or rail car. A grader is also known as a road grader or a blade, a maintainer or a motor grader, which is used in creating a flat surface which are commonly used in construction and maintenance of dirt roads and gravel roads. Lastly, a mass excavator allows usage of largest buckets in the industry, which is designed for quickly loading trucks with the fewest passes.
