Gas furnaces provide many years of reliable performance with preventive maintenance and routine inspections. You should be able to handle many maintenance tasks on your own, but you should contact a qualified gas contractor to inspect your home heating system at least once per year or according to the intervals recommended by the manufacturer.
Follow These Steps For Routine Maintenance:
- Note About Safety — Turn the furnace off and shut down electricity to the unit on the home's circuit breaker panel before replacing fan belts, changing filters and inspecting the unit.
- Make sure the fan compartment door is closed and clean or change the filters every 90 days. In mos units, a small clip holds the filter in place inside the blower compartment or near it.
- When changing the filters, inspect the fan belt and replace it if there are any signs of excessive wear or cracks.
- Clean out any pet hair, lint or dust that accumulates in the air returns and vents and make sure furniture and other objects are not blocking airflow through them.
- Inspect the vent system and chimney on an annual basis to look for damage, corrosion or foreign objects that may be blocking the flue or chimney as well as to verify the pipe connection is secure.
- Clear away all objects from all sides of the furnace. Do not lean items against the side of the unit. Never keep flammable products in the same room with the furnace.
- Always hire a qualified gas contractor if you want to enclose the furnace.
- A couple drops of SAE 20 oil should be applied to all oiling points once a year before the winter. Be careful not to apply too much oil.
Signs of Trouble
In most cases, a malfunctioning furnace will exhibit one or more warning signs.
Here are the most common signs of trouble:
- The pilot light goes out frequently.
- Delays before ignition. You may have a high efficiency furnace with a built-in delay, so read the owner's manual.
- A flame that wavers or is yellow in color.
- Black, brown or white streaks indicating excessive corrosion or soot on the vents or the furnace.
- The furnace generates too much heat or fails to generate enough heat.
- The furnace emits a foul smell that resembles the smell of rotten eggs or makes the eyes sting.
- Anyone in the household has signs of carbon monoxide poisoning, which include lethargy, headaches, nausea or flu-like symptoms.
- Burn marks near an opening or the furnace door that indicate flames have escaped from inside the furnace.
What to do When You Smell Gas
If you think your furnace has a gas leak or you smell gas, contact your natural gas supplier on the emergency phone line. Write down the contact number ahead of time and keep it in a convenient place so you can respond as quickly as possible.
What to do When the Pilot Light Goes Out
Many modern appliances will shut down automatically if the pilot light goes out. Locate the manufacturer's instructions printed on a metal plate somewhere near the gas controls or the furnace burner and follow them to relight the pilot if it goes out. If you cannot get the pilot to light, turn the gas supply valve off and contact a qualified gas contractor to look at it for you.
Note: Many new models lack a pilot light. Read your owner's manual to determine if your unit has one.

The $370 DVD-1940CI is the least expensive of the four single-disc universal players in Denon's current product lineup, and it also enjoys the distinction of being the least expensive player in our survey. Despite its relatively low price, though, the DVD-1940CI never feels like a "stripped down" product, but rather appeals with its "no frills" simplicity and solid core performance. Like several other players in this class, the Denon provides Faroudja DCDi video processing, which helps ensure good video performance both on benchmark and real world DVD tests. In turn, Denon equipped the player with high quality Burr Brown DACs (digital to analog converters), which help give the DVD-1940CI pleasingly neutral tonal balance that serves all types of music well. Though the player does not offer the last word in sonic detail, tonal richness, or 3D soundstaging, its smooth, evenly balanced sound almost always carries the day.
Key Features
- HDMI upscaling options: 480p/576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p.
- Video Processing: Faroudja DCDi.
- DACs: 192kHz/24-bit Burr Brown audio DACs, separate video DACs for interlace and progressive playback modes.
- DVD Formats: Can play both PAL (European format) and NTSC-format DVDs.
User Interface
The DVD-SD1800 has a fairly straightforward user interface and remote control, and is for the most part easy to set up. Some elements we particularly liked included the following:
- A Pure Direct button that turns off video processing functions and the front panel display for superior sound quality during music playback. One quirk, however, is that the Pure Direct button is found on the faceplate of the player—not on the remote control, as you would expect.
- A Super Audio CD Set Up button on the remote lets you choose which "area" of SACD discs (CD, SACD stereo, or SACD multichannel) will be played.
We did identify several user interface shortcomings, as noted below:
- Channel level trim controls provide only a +0/- 12dB range of adjustment (+/- 10dB would be preferable).
- User interface does not allow on-the-fly adjustment of audio or video settings (a feature we wish all universal players provided).
- The onscreen display for this player presents significantly less disc/track information than is typical for players in this class.
Video Performance
Playback uses the Silicon Optix HQV Benchmark DVD Ver. 4 to conduct benchmark tests, and over time we've found that certain video processors tend to yield consistent, "signature" results on our tests. It came as no surprise, then, that the DVD-1940CI performed much like the other Faroudja DCDi processor-equipped players we tested, which is a good thing (remember, the DVD-1940CI is the least expensive of the DCDi-equipped players in our survey). The Denon showed solid performance on most tests, but exhibited minor shortcomings in the following areas:
- Color Bar (resolution) Tests: Minor "blurred" bands visible on the finest resolution test lines.
- Jaggies Tests: Minor "ripple" visible on worst-case tests.
- Film Detail Tests (scene of a racecar passing in front of empty grandstands): Momentary moiré pattern is visible in the grandstands before the processor intervenes and the image locks in.
- Cadence Tests: Performance is fine on the "big two" formats; namely 2-2 30fps Video and 3-2 24fps Film. However, some image "twitch" was observed on less commonly encountered DVCAM, Vari-Speed, and Animation cadences.
For purposes of watching DVDs under real-world conditions, the Denon produced smooth and generally glitch-free images that upscaled cleanly when the player was set for 1080i output (the setting that works best with our lab's reference HDTV). I found it revealing to watch the opening scenes of Open Range, where Mose (Abraham Benrubi) labors in the late afternoon sun to erect a canvas shelter before a storm arrives. As the wind kicks up around Mose, you can actually see fine bits of dust and plant debris swirl up into the air as Mose hammers tent stakes into the ground. It's small visual details such as these that make this player so rewarding.
That said, however, I should point out that when upscaling images the Denon captures just slightly less image detail and sharpness than the best players we've seen in this class. In the same scene from Open Range, Charley Waite (Kevin Costner) looks at the sky to check on storm clouds, but then quickly steps back under the shelter as raindrops begin to fall. When he does so we get an up close view of the surface textures of the canvas roof from the inside— textures that some players resolve so well you'd swear you could reach out and feel the warp and woof of the fabric, but that the Denon softens just a bit. It's a case where the Denon does well (very well, actually), but where a few other affordable players can do even better.
Audio Performance/Sonic Character
The DVD-1940CI's three greatest sonic strengths are smoothness, neutral tonal balance, and a good measure of natural clarity. While some players offer greater levels of detail, slightly more vibrant tonal colors, and can create more "holographic" soundstages, the little Denon holds its own, and does so at a very reasonable price. One appealing aspect of the player is that it seems to perform equally well when playing CD, SACD, and DVD-Audio material, whereas some competing players tend to favor one format or another at the expense of the others.
Musical Examples
While conducting listening tests with the Denon, I took an opportunity to play the track "Country Roads" from Gary Burton's Like Minds [Concord, multichannel SACD] for a colleague in the office. What's special about the record is not only that it captures a stellar jazz ensemble (Gary Burton on vibes, Chick Corea on piano, Pat Metheny on guitar, Dave Holland on acoustic bass, and Roy Haynes on drums) playing great music, but also the fact that it captures an eerily realistic "stage mix." As I played the track, the Denon did a beautiful job of reproducing the distinctive timbres of the individual instruments, and a quite respectable job of placing the musicians in front of, behind, and to the left and right sides of the listening area. As the track ended, my colleague looked up with a touch of wonder in his eyes and said, "I've rarely heard the Playback Audio Lab system sound this good," and he was right. While you can find players that sound better than the Denon, at least in some respects, those that do tend to cost more—sometimes quite a lot more.
Bottom Line
Denon's DVD-1940CI is good video performer and a player that delivers smooth, evenly balanced sound on all audio material of all formats. Best of all, the Denon has a satisfyingly even-handed way of dealing with music, tending to draw out the strengths of recordings without belaboring their weaknesses.

Free Network Cable with Livewave Antenna
We all know how frustrating invoices and subscriptions can be. We pay for cable, for Netflix, for movies and sports on demand … it accumulates. And of course, there are all the electronics. The receiver, the AppleTV, the Firesticks, and the DVD player are often expensive. It is no wonder that more and more people are looking for cheaper and simpler ways to reduce their bills and get rid of all the electronics.

My price includes postage and packing within the UK, items usually being despatched within 48 hours of receipt of funds. I am happy to send items abroad but buyers from overseas should contact me for shipping costs and make an additional payment. Buyers are liable for import taxes in their own country where appropriate.
Remember - on most pages you can click pictures to see more photos!
These are photos of the actual model available. Remember that these toys are around 50 years old! All models advertised are original, not restored or repainted unless I have stated otherwise.
Here is something a little special.
This is a very rare blue version that was intended to replace the Bermuda Taxi of old. It is almost identical to the red 246 model but has no door inserts, a light blue interior and it has holes for the taxi cover poles near the boot.
If this was, indeed, supplied in the same 246 box then it needs the two occupants and the golf trolley. I do have my doubts about whether it would have had the occupants as the steering wheel on this one seems not to allow for anyone's legs below it. I guess it might move but I am not about to try, especially as the figures are ugly and I don't have originals handy anyway! There is a golf trolley, though, so it's a nod towards the box illustration!
This is in superb condition, the only flaws being a slight loss of paint along the top of a couple of wings but this is very slight indeed. The chrome is perfect and the screen clear and wheels like new.
It is genuinely fabulous find and looks so much better in this Kingfisher blue shade than the red. A very scarce item that will always be much sought after. I am delighted to be able to offer this but will be sad to see it leave.
[I think this has been the quickest sale evr. It was sold almost as soon as I published this.]

No 46 Moulded Ogee Aluminium Gutter System
A Real Alternative To Cast Iron
This profile should not be confused with the Victorian Ogee. The No 46 Moulded Ogee Cast Aluminium gutter is a deeper gutter than the Victorian ogee with a flat back and flat bottom with the front edge incorporating the ogee moulding.
Generally speaking this type of gutter is more widely used on larger type properties especially schools where it is very common.
Available sizes in this profile of gutter are:
- 100mm opening x 75mm depth (4" x 3")
- 125mm opening x 100mm depth (5" x 4")
- 150mm opening x 100mm depth (6" x 4")
The moulded ogee No 46 gutter is pre-drilled on the back edge for direct fixing to fascia board. Fascia brackets are required although they are available should you wish to use them. The No 46 Moulded Ogee aluminium gutter is not designed for fixing to open rafter ends although it can be if using special rafter style brackets.
Our range of cast moulded ogee gutters come with all necessary fittings including corners, outlets, stop ends and facia brackets. Each component comes with a socket & spigot for easy jointing just like the old cast iron gutters of old.
A liberal covering of Arbosil 1096 gutter sealant is recommended for bedding the joints as it provides a strong mechanical bond that will withstand the forces associated with thermal movement. An aluminium nut/bolt/washer is then fastened tightly to squeeze the sealant together and tighten the fitting. The heads of the bolts can be powder coated to match the gutter.
Once fitted the No 46 Moulded Ogee aluminium guttering system will look jus like cast iron and with a powder coated finish the life expectancy should be well in excess of 30 years.

Orthopedic Associates of Hawaii
Andrew Takata
Director of Athletic Training at Performance Rehab Ortho, an affiliate of Orthopedic Associates of Hawaii
"We are seeing benefits from all our patients - everyone across the board, whether recovering from an injury or just trying to improve overall performance. It's the future of training and rehab. "
The Problem
Most post-surgery rehabilitation programs follow the standardized protocol of "6-weeks" to recovery. Orthopedics Associates of Hawaii came to Sparta in search of an objective and individualized assessment tool to take them to the next level.
Through the Sparta Scan (Balance, Plank, Jump), their patients are given a personalized plan to help return from injury. Monitoring patients regularly not only speeds up the rehab process, but it also increases patient retention, engagement, and overall performance.
The Sparta Solution
Orthopedic Associates of Hawaii is using the Sparta System as a way to objectively assess patients using data - determining their strengths and weakness, and what type of injuries they may be at risk for. Backed by data and scientifically validated, the Sparta System gives an optimized plan on a mobile app that is tailored to each individual to maximize time and efficiency when training in their facility. No longer are patients bound to subjective, time-based recovery protocols - instead, patients move at their own pace, based on the progress they've made.

Martin Reynolds, Senior Commercial Solicitor at Barrett & Co, looks at two hypothetical scenarios in which tenants are occupying commercial premises on expired short leases.
I am often asked by my commercial clients to advise on a scenario where they have various tenants occupying commercial premises on expired short leases (around 5 or 10 years) and some of the expired leases are contracted out of protection under the Landlord and Tenant Act 1954 ("the Act") whilst others are not. I have therefore prepared a brief overview of the two scenarios below.
Leases which are not contracted out
The situation regarding these leases is relatively simple:
S.24 of the Act provides that:
"A tenancy to which this part of the Act applies [i.e. a commercial tenancy which is not contracted out] shall not come to an end unless terminated in accordance with the provisions of this part of the Act."
This means that (if the tenant remains in occupation and continues to pay rent) the tenancy does not come to an end at the end of the contractual term of the lease. The important thing to realise is that it is a continuation of the same tenancy/lease – the terms will therefore be the same.
If the lease provides for rent review (or an entitlement to break) every 2 years there will continue to be rent review (or entitlement to break) every 2 years. If, on the other hand, the lease provides for review (or break) on stated dates within the original term there will not be any further review (or break) unless or until a new tenancy is agreed as the dates will already have passed.
This does not mean that the situation is entirely "symmetrical." The tenant is still entitled to surrender the lease or give notice to quit whereas you cannot obtain possession of the property unless one of the specific grounds provided for in the Act can be made out.
Either of the parties is, however, entitled to require a new lease (again complying with the procedure in the Act). This will be broadly in line with the terms of the old tenancy but up dated and at current market rent.
Leases which are contracted out
The situation in relation to these leases is more complex/problematic:
The basis of the tenant's continued occupation is not the old lease (which is at an end) but the tenancy created by the combination of occupation (possession) and the payment of rent. This will – depending on the detailed circumstances – either be a tenancy at will or a periodic tenancy.
The important thing to realise is that it is, effectively, a new tenancy and detailed terms from the old lease (such as break clause and rent review provisions) will not automatically "carry over".
If the arrangement is a tenancy at will then it can be terminated immediately by notice from either party.
If it is a periodic tenancy the notice period will be calculated by reference to the period for which rent is paid (continues to be paid). This is particularly problematic if rent provision in the original lease was that rent would be "£X per annum" which has been held to give rise to a 6 month notice period (ending on an end of year date) even in circumstances where rent was actually being paid quarterly (or monthly).
An additional problem created where the arrangement is taken to be a periodic tenancy is that the new tenancy itself will, effectively, have protection under the Act (tenancies at will are exempt). This means that there may be difficulty getting back possession of the premises from the tenant (if this is what is desired).
Whilst the Courts have on various occasions been willing to find that – where a tenant remains in occupation after the end of a (contracted out) lease and continues to pay rent while negotiations for a new lease are ongoing – there is a tenancy at will, there have been occasions where it has been held that the behaviour of the parties is not consistent with a tenancy at will. In these circumstances a periodic tenancy has been held to arise, with the consequent problems (see above).
It is therefore to be recommended that, for this category of lease, prolonged periods of continued occupation are avoided and that – if occupation is to continue after the end of the lease term – the basis of occupation should be properly documented (i.e. a written tenancy at will).
If you have existing leases or are in the process of granting a lease and require advice please contact me on 0118 958 9711 or email@example.com.

Overall, the course was helpful, but it needs some better QA.
The pop-up quizzes during the videos were often right BEFORE the material answering the question was presented. (So you could only answer the question correctly if you read ahead in the transcript before answering.)
The fill-in-the-blank questions were very hard to get right. Even when I copied text verbatim from the course, it was marked wrong. E.g., "switching pairs for each activity" was wrong, I needed to enter "switch pairs." A human would have marked my initial response correct.
Some of the multiple-choice, multiple-answer questions were also frustrating, such as "why do you take notes during the lesson?" -- there would be one answer clearly supported by the course material, but the lesson quizzes demanded multiple answers to be marked correct. But then when you got to the same exact question on the final exam, it was a single-answer multiple -choice question.

Course material and organization of the course are great. Though it's an online course , I felt like the instructors are with me in my efforts to take my first steps of online teaching. The theory is so systematic, scientific and interactive that makes me more enthusiastic about creating my first online lessons. Thanks to Coursera and Arizona University People.

Very good course, I really feel it was totally worth it and now I feel confident to teach English online and face-to-face. 4/5 stars since the first tests need to be polished; there are too much ambiguous answers and some mistakes, but that's just a technical issue, the content of the course is amazing.

The course would've been better had there been more samples of what online lessons for different macroskills at various levels (of English) looked like. Also, a list of resources (e.g. where to find authentic listening or reading materials) would've been very helpful. Finally, there could've been at least a module spent on teaching academic English online. On the technical side, there were errors with how one of the (earlier) quizzes was set up (as noted in the Discussion Forum).

It's awful. Most of quizes are incorrect with answers, that students can't find in the course videos. For example, quiz 2 in week 4 has questions that we even haven't heard before. In order to have 100% for quiz 1 in week 1 you must choose incorrect answer in question 7 (or it doesn't relate to this week). What is more, you need to pay approximately 25 dollars for that profanation! I've already passed three courses from ASUs' TESOL certification, and those courses were awesome, they have really helped me in my present career. But, nevertheless, this course is a shame for the entire Arizona State University. Fix it, please, or don't lie to your students!

It is pretty typical for job seekers to try to anticipate what kinds of questions they will be asked during the interview process. But did you know that HR personnel have similar thoughts? They do, especially in the medical field. Recruiters go into every interview expecting certain kinds of questions.
As an emergency medicine physician looking for a new job, you will undoubtedly face multiple interviews before making a choice. Below is a list of five questions the interviewers you deal with are likely to anticipate. Don't be afraid to ask them. You really need the answers and asking will not reflect poorly on an otherwise good performance.
1. Do you reimburse for CME expenses?
Continuing medical education (CME) requirements vary by state. Having said that, just about every emergency medicine physician will have to undergo continuing education in order to keep his or her license. Who is going to pay for that education? Any hospital that offers either a partial allowance or full reimbursement automatically has a competitive edge over other facilities that provide no CME assistance.
2. Do you offer any assistance with student loans?
The competition for new doctors is so stiff that hospitals are forced to come up with all sorts of incentives to attract candidates. In some of the most competitive markets, hospitals are willing to help new hires pay down their student loans. Don't be afraid to ask this question. The worst answer you can get is 'no'. On the other hand, you could discover that the hospital you're interviewing with offers partial assistance or, better yet, a full student loan forgiveness program.
3. Do you offer signing bonuses?
Along those same lines, a lot of hospitals offer signing bonuses to new hires. Such bonuses may be offered in conjunction with student loan assistance or as a substitute thereof. Again, recruiters are expecting this question. They know the power of signing bonuses to attract talent, so you might find a recruiter chomping at the bit to tell you. You might not even have to ask.
4. How do you handle medical malpractice insurance?
Medical malpractice insurance is a big thing for doctors in the ED. If you have to pay it yourself, you're going to immediately incur a substantial financial responsibility upon hire. Assuming that the employer does cover doctors by way of a group policy, make sure you fully understand all of the details of that policy before you agree to it. It is not unheard of for emergency medicine doctors to take a copy of an employer's insurance policy to a lawyer for perusal.
What are your credentialing policies?
Hospitals have different credentialing policies to fit their own needs and circumstances. This is obviously something you need to know before you agree to take a position. In an ideal situation, you would be able to complete credentialing requirements in as little as a few days. But you may apply at facilities where credentialing takes weeks or months to complete.
One way that hospitals avoid credentialing issues is to link a new doctor's official start date to the completion of credentialing requirements. This is something you would want to know beforehand. The last thing you want is to find yourself in a position of thinking you can bill for services only to find out that you're not yet credentialed.
There's a lot that goes into a successful medical job interview. In your search for your next job as an emergency medicine physician, be sure to maximize your interviewing opportunities by asking the right questions. The five questions listed here are good starting point.

Battle Over Bo Won't End Struggle
By Russell Leigh Moses
The removal of Bo Xilai from his post as Party Secretary of Chongqing reminds us that nothing about the leadership transition later this year is guaranteed.
Bo had sought to make Chongqing the place where a new set of political and social experiments for China could flourish. Waging war against organized crime and mobilizing the population for mass politics were the high-profile programs. But from allowing farmers to swap land for the right to be urban dwellers to encouraging foreign investment for a city that would be both high-tech and highly monitored, Bo was also presenting an alternative to the usual way of doing political business in China.
Bo's strategy worked well for a while. It garnered media coverage and significant support from those dissatisfied with Beijing's efforts to reassert central authority over the provinces. And Party officials started drifting in Bo's direction, concerned about the lack of clues from heir-apparent Xi Jinping as to what he planned to offer in terms of reform and social change.
But then the problems started. It wasn't that Bo made himself unpopular; it's that he became far too popular in the wrong places—in the public and inside major sectors of the Party and military.
The more attention Bo attracted, the more he was seen inside the Communist Party as jeopardizing the transition to a new leadership by providing an alternative.
Bo might not have been trying to split the Party, but he was compelling cadres to choose between the already-pretty-much-decided duo of Xi and Vice Premier Li Keqiang and his own potential candidacy for even higher office.
The question moved from "what sort of seat would Bo get on the inner Politburo?" to "would Bo want to run the Party and remake China?"
And then the bizarre case of former Chongqing police czar Wang Lijun confirmed to Bo's critics that, in their eyes, he could not run Chongqing, much less the country.
The political Center held. Any challengers to the transition will surely note that the hardline continues to hold the high ground of Chinese politics. Hu and his allies might lack the subtlety and political craftsmanship of Jiang Zemin, but they do not lack the will or the weaponry to win battles that they think are trying to be waged outside the Party and brought into the streets. Debate on these issues is seen as fine; direct action to change China quickly is not.
But how does Bo's removal affect the transition to a new leadership?
Bo's dismissal doesn't strengthen the reformers on the Right. The Left is reeling, but the Right should not celebrate. Cadres remain accountable to the Party, but not to citizens. Netizens can scribble and post, but they are as much sidelined as Bo has now been. Bo's removal is not an endorsement of their agenda, but a repudiation of his.
But the drama is far from over. There's ample reason to be concerned about political stability in the Party. The fact that official Chinese media coverage of Bo's removal was largely low-profile points to some uncertainty in Party ranks about how his sacking will play in society. Remarks praising Bo on official CCP websites remained into last night.
And this morning's front page of the People's Daily spoke yet again about the need to follow Communist icon Lei Feng—another sign that Leftists in the Party are anything but extinct.
What does Bo do now? Does he seek to rally his supporters, to defend him before he loses his Politburo post? Or might he go quietly now, and hope for another opportunity later this year?
It's unlikely that Bo will simply slip away. If pressed further and asked to answer some of Wang Lijun's charges, he'll fight back. And the Party meeting in Chongqing that inaugurated Bo's successor yesterday makes it clear that the investigation there will continue in earnest.
Indeed, for Bo and his followers, there may well be hope on the horizon. If economic performance starts to decline faster, the Left can argue that the best way to social justice is through charismatic leaders and mass action—and affording Bo Xilai the chance to emerge from the rubble.
Hu and his allies won this battle brilliantly. But the larger political struggle over who gets to shape China's future continues.
Russell Leigh Moses is a Beijing-based analyst and professor who writes on Chinese politics. He is writing a book on the changing role of power in the Chinese political system.

About Lawtey, FL
Lawtey is a city in Bradford County, Florida, United States. The population was 730 at the 2010 census,[5] up from 656 in 2000. The city has received national attention and earned the dubious distinction of being one of only two official speed traps designated by the American Automobile Association (the other being Waldo a few miles to the south),[6] due to the city's strict enforcement of the local speed limit on U.S. Route 301 as it cuts through town.

The eight-track debut EP by N0V3L recalls spring-loaded post-punk dissonance, new-wave's downcast dance anthems, and laser-precise political funk. It's a fluorescent, freshly-scorched declaration of intent, a martial, brutalist slab of nimble melodics and group-yelped anti-capitalist mantras: "Time is a resource/To use and to treasure!"

Hi there all Members
I purchased a good looking Beogram 4000 but sadly the Dial Pointer is missing completely incl. the Axle and the Spring.
Maybe one of you could help with a sparepart or with a drawing of the correct size of this part.
I found in an older thread a DIY DialPointer made by Member "Step1" Olly.
For me it's not possible to start a conversation with him?! I don't know why....
So please be so kind and have a look into your storage boxes and maybe one can find the missing parts.
Thanks fore reply.
Best regads
I can find the axle and the spring.
Hi Martin
The Axle ist already made by myself, it's just a 3mm piece of round material, filed two gaps for a lockerring, ready.
The spring would be interesting.
My mainproblem is to get the measurings of the Pointer.
For me it's still not possible to get in contact with Olly (alias Step1).
He has made one Pointer of Aluminium.
So i have to start from scratch I think.
We can talk later about the spring, I'll let you know.
Best Regards

• They're not comfortable answering calls from strangers. If they don't recognise your phone number, they really don't have a reason to pick up.
• If they do answer your call, why are they going to trust you? They have no reason to trust you.
• There is simply no incentive to return your call whatsoever.
• They expect that quality advisors will not be cold calling.
So, a question for you, why does digital marketing work better for insurance marketing campaigns?
Everyone is online – Through digital marketing, you can connect with almost every imaginable audience or group in the world. There are no limitations when it comes to geographic, demographic or even language barriers. In fact, if the numbers of users in the 55+ category has increased on social media by nearly 80% in the last few years. This makes it the fastest growing demographic for the platform. Therefore, in conclusion, if you are looking to reach your target market, you WILL find them online.
You have added trust – When it comes to cold calling, you're asking people to trust you without first giving them a reason. This approach has always been challenging, but never more so than now. If they can find social proof of your skill online, then they're more likely to come to you. Because people have gotten used to finding what they need online, it's a lot easier to lead them to you. You can make a trust deposit by creating helpful content on your blogs and sharing it via social media.
It's more cost effective – There is a common misconception that cold calling is the cheaper option of the two because all it takes is time. Yet, your time is the most valuable resource you have. Many, fail to give adequate value to their time. Producing positive ROI is about spending time doing what you do best and streamlining the rest. Sometimes, that could mean outsourcing your marketing department.
It broadens your reach – Cold calling is strictly one to one outreach. This severely limits the number of people you can contact at a time. Even the best cold callers can only make a few hundred calls a day, maximum. Digital marketing gives you the chance to grow your reach exponentially. When one person reads and shares your content, their entire network can see it. If a few people share it your reach will grow and grow and grow. This is the basis for viral marketing – the holy grail of content marketing.
Prospects are in their comfort zone – Your prospects will be more likely to trust you if they're able to verify your ability and credibility. Through digital marketing, you can provide social proof via testimonials and case studies. These types of content are hugely effective at turning visitors into leads and leads into prospects.
So, what do you think, is cold calling dead? Does it still have a place in marketing? Or has digital marketing taken over entirely? Let me know.

To the Web: The Pleece Bros. on 'Montague Terrace'
British comic artist Warren Pleece has made a name for himself with a variety of work, primarily under the banner of Vertigo at DC Comics. His career started much earlier, back in the late 80s doing self-published satirical comics with his brother Gary called Velocity. Gary segued out of comics while Warren continued in comics working on such titles as Hellblazer, The Invisibles, True Faith and Kinetic. But now Warren has ventured back into self-publishing with the webcomic Montague Terrace and news that his brother Gary will be co-writing future installments.According to the promotional text, Montague Terrace is comprised of "unsucessful megalomaniacs, brain frazzled ex pop-stars, Special Ops pensioners, haunted children, writers, fighters, nervous magicians and magic bunnies. 1930s detectives, fake pet psychics, hounded inventors, randy postmen, landlocked seamen, diabolical architects and secret societies." The first installment debuted earlier this year, with more on the way. To ring in the new series and Gary's return to the comics fold, we talked to both Gary and his brother Warren about the series. Newsarama: It's good to talk to you, Warren. How would you describe Montague Terrace? Warren Pleece: Montague Terrace is a kind of microcosm of society, crammed within the walls of a residential housing block somewhere in London. It's a kind of melting pot of characters and story ideas that can be really different, but somehow related. On the whole, we're looking through the windows into the lives of forgotten eccentrics, geniuses, mundane brilliance and hidden treasures like a voyeuristic Alfred Hitchcock. NRAMA: What can we look forward to in future installments? WP: We've got a retired Special Ops granny who's still plugging it to the man, a landlubbered sailor all at sea, inland, a magical, mystical bunny, a 1930s detective, a frustrated writer on the scent of an elusive diabolical architect, a brilliant inventor on the run, some haunted kids, a randy postman, a fake pet psychic, the return of the Puppeteer and a very large chicken.
NRAMA: How'd you come to decide to do this as a webcomic?
WP: In the past, publishing our own comics, we'd need the funds to pay for printing and distribution and we'd always insist on a high quality of production. What we have now, is the ability to access a wider audience for no print cost, just our time. Also, with something like Dean Haspiel's Act-I-Vate, we can tap into a well established network and comics reading community already used to seeing new, interesting material. That, and the fact that we don't have to water anything down or compromise the stories.NRAMA: Although it's just Warren going solo starting out, Gary is pencilled in to join you on future installments. How is it going to work?
WP: For the first lot of stories from Montague Terrace which you can see at Act-I-Vate and on our blogs, http://warrenpleece.wordpress.com/ and http://pleecebrothers.wordpress.com/ I've written and drawn everything. Gary has some new stories starting in a few weeks that are the first we've worked on together for ages. In the past when we work together, it may be separately in classic writer artist mode, or sometimes together, where we rough out the plot and storyline together and Gary will write the finished script for me to draw. In the Velocity days, I'd write and draw certain stories-The Higsons, Master Twaddlethwaite- and we'd collaborate on other larger stories, or I'd leave Gary to weave his wicked wand in the privacy of his own room(?!).NRAMA: Like I said the first couple are Warren solo – when do you come in, Gary? Gary Pleece: Yep, can't wait to get going on this - Paul Gregory is my character and so is the story behind The Architect's Story. I think we've matured as storywriters and artist, but we still can't help but have a snigger at the ludicrousness of everyday existence. We still do that thing where you're sitting in a cafe and imagining everyone sitting there naked or just with their boots on.
I'm presently working on a couple of short stories for the Activate site and our website - here soon - and we have a graphic novel proposal out at the moment looking for a publisher which will include Paul Gregory and The Architect's Story. The Architect's Story has a subterranean world, full of sick Hogarthian caricatures, warped, deformed, unkempt and living a life outside of the slick and 5 a-day society that is constantly rammed into our guts. Cock fighting, bare-knuckle boxing, whores as big as whales, absinth induced psycho babble nu-rave tripped out nightmares. Those moments that you dream about and wake up with the pyjamas all wet through and then you're back on the bus and normality settles in again. So what if it didn't for a change...?
NRAMA: Wow – Scott Walker. I love that reference in the 2econd installment with the character Paul Gregory. Walker is also from a brotherly duo – am I reading to much into this, or should I ask if you're Scott Walker?
WP: I'm more Paul Gregory than Scott Walker, not that I look like him, mind.NRAMA: Will we be seeing more of Paul Gregory in the future? WP: Paul will feature in several longer epic feature length stories, The Elephant Dwarf and The Elephant Dwarf Returns, where the true nature and horror of his past comes back to haunt him in a groovy 60s Whicker Man in Carnaby Street kind of way.
NRAMA: So Gary, how is the collaboration with you and your brother going after all this time?
GP: We collaborate really well. To begin with we used to sit in our flat near Brighton seafront until the early hours, Shostakovich, Scott Walker and The Smiths on the turntable, and talk about all the people we hated until we had an endless list and then we'd lampoon them in the most vicious way possible. We toyed with them. Those comics are full of voodoo qualities. We used to frequent Brighton's less salubrious bars as well as the trendy watering holes and we had enough ammunition from all walks of life to cast our observant eyes and spin out of the ordinary tales around and about them.We both used to begin the writing process - it'd usually start with us using characters we knew or who had morphed into our heads from the seedier sides of town and then we'd set about ripping off our favourite American film noir or British Ealing comedy or Carry on films. We'd stick a blanket of darkness over it all and watch it all suffocate until the characters came out choking... or never came out at all. We had a lot of hatred in those days. But we also liked a laugh. If you look at the early stuff, it was all about the two colliding head on... NRAMA: You two broke into comics together with the self-published series, Velocity back in the late '80s. I'd love to see that back in print again. Any chance of a print collection or putting it online? WP: There'll be a best of anthology coming out later this year and we'll be previewing stuff from it online nearer the time. NRAMA: How'd you two end reuniting for this, Gary? GP: We never really wanted the relationship to end, it was more to do with us not really being business minded during the height of our 'fame' and cashing in on our 'success'.
I also enjoyed the rock and roll a bit too much which came with the minor celeb status, so lost focus... Also, the page rates in those days for writers were diabolical compared to the artists and so it would've always been about volume to 'survive' and we've never been good at that. We always created when the moment took us...Also, we signed a bum deal with Acme USA for the publication of Velocity at the time when we were Sat in front of one of the UKs best independent magazine publishers who said he'd make us rich, but only after he'd paid us enough for squirrel feed for the first 6 months of the deal. Subsequently, Acme went tits up and John Brown (the publisher) goes from strength to strength. Sigh. NRAMA: Before we go, I wanted to ask why we haven't seen you lately in comics, Gary. What have you been up to? GP: I drifted out of comics around 1996 after 7 years doing quite a bit of writing and being in a band. I did a journalism degree, then set up a couple of businesses - having learned from my previous experiences. One I sold in 2006 and presently I own a brand consultancy, www.021creative.com and we specialise in brand/rebrand promotions, web design/development and strategy and strategic marketing. I'm hoping to bring some of these skills to the comics world and to the promotion of the Pleece Brothers Anthology, which will be out, all well and good, in the summer.
But it's great to be back and we plan to stay. I think you'll see a change in our output, but not that much, we'll still be writing about life's underclass, whilst sitting in cafes in nothing but our boots...

What Makes A Woman Strong?
Where does one focus in life? Most of us grow up being raised to be conscientious of others and our surroundings which is a good outer focus but not so much for the inner focus of learning to really listen to the little voice inside. Yes, we may hear it, but what do we do with it? Especially, if it is in direct discordance with what we were directly told and is now an inherited belief. It's Complicated.
My area of focus to share with you, is to see how I can break up old ideas, thought patterns that come up for me daily and how to best avert the downer, of all the negative news out there. Simple. Not easy. I choose what I want to see, read, and think about most of my day. It is a challenging practice to not be seduced by drama, trauma but to take a comma. I pause, if I see that I am over reacting to anything. That is my personal signal.
To stop and ask myself, what is it that is bothering me and what do I want to focus on?
Boom. I now have a foundation to start an inquiry.
I then choose to move forward with insightful conversations with self or others to resolve what has come up. I stay focused on the "where" I want to be. In harmony or hell? I am willing to let go of emotions, or the mood, to see what is available to me based on what I am committed to.
What I choose to focus on, makes me strong. Here is what I found works for me.
Gratitude – Inner and Outer. Take a breath, be quiet, take inventory on what is great about your life, who is in it and what you do that makes you smile. Take note of how you are a contribution to yourself and others, daily. Keep looking, the "bummer" talk and equivalent mood will soon dissipate.
Setting Empowered Boundaries Creates Self Respect and Confidence.
If there is someone in your life whom you find extremely challenging on goingly and it seems to never resolve itself no matter what is said or done. Its time to rethink the relationship and how it serves your own inner anthem. Energy in always an exchange. If the exchange seems to bee discordant or draining consistrtnatly. It is time to shift the relationship and energy deficits.
Trust and Consult Your Own Intuition.
It's always good to do your own inner research and it is powerful to hear what others have to share and contribute to you. Ultimately it is your life, your path, your body, and you have to live in it. Not them. Choose your own counsel even if you make a mistake. Growth is always happening inside mistakes. Embrace the brilliance.
Choose, Act and Build Up Others Around You.
Nothing special happens in a vacuum. It is so important to be you, move on your passions and then share them. Inside that flow there are amazing people around you who usually want to support that and want to be supported to shine their greatness too. Share and Play together because this brings new insights and intimacy to see how amazing other people can be.
Embrace Your Passion.
If you are honest with yourself you will see the passion for something you have always wanted to do but never tried or were told not to. Time to throw your hat over the fence and jump! See who you are, what you love, what your true expression is. How else will you know? Be Brave!

[♪ INTRO] Everyone knows that bee stings don't feel
the best. And for the 1-7% of us with allergies to insect
venom, they can be deadly. But a growing number of people are choosing
to inject themselves with the toxic stuff, or even receive intentional stings, in the hopes of finding relief from
conditions like arthritis and chronic pain. It's incredibly controversial, and risky,
but clinical studies have found some evidence backing bee venom therapy:
the medical use of bee venom. And further research into why it seems to
help could lead to breakthroughs for diseases we don't currently have good ways to treat. The medicinal use of bees, or apitherapy,
has been around for ages. The Greek physician Hippocrates was doling
out stings as treatment as far back as 460 BCE. Then again, he also thought that if a
woman didn't have sex with a man or give birth for a while, her uterus
would start wandering around her body and cause a bunch of health problems. So that's not saying much. Today, apitherapy is mostly popular among
people who believe in alternative medicine. But it's also started to get some attention
from evidence-based medicine, because clinical research has
backed some therapeutic claims. Venom is typically collected from bees
and then delivered through acupuncture. Small amounts of a diluted toxin mixture,
equivalent to one thousandth of a sting or less, are pricked right into
the skin with each needle. But some opt for a more natural route. Yes, that means live bees delivering real
stings. Either way, the venom usually comes from honey
bees, and it contains dozens of potent compounds, though a small protein called melittin is
the most abundant. Combined with the rest of the chemical cocktail,
it produces the burning pain and itching associated with stings as well as the hot, red lump
that continues to throb for hours. So it might seem weird to think that the venom
from a sting, which we typically associate with pain and swelling, might reduce things like pain and swelling. But that's exactly what researchers have found. Bee venom seems to be most
effective for inflammatory diseases: conditions where excess inflammation
is a major part of the problem. Inflammation is one of the
body's immune responses. It's what causes infections or injuries
to become red, warm, and puffy. But when there's too much, or it occurs
in response to the wrong things, you can end up with chronic problems. And weirdly enough, studies have
shown that both whole bee venom and melittin alone can reduce
inflammation from other sources. Melittin, for example, directly binds
with key molecules that activate pro-inflammatory genes, blocking
them from binding to DNA. And in some studies, this seems
to translate to results in humans. A handful of papers have shown that bee
venom therapy can help with the painful, swollen joints that characterize
arthritis, for example. A randomized controlled trial in Korea in 2003 found that the 37 patients who
received bee venom acupuncture had less stiffness and pain
in the affected joints than the 32 controls that
received saline instead. That lines up with what studies in animal
models of the condition have found. A few studies have also found that bee
venom therapy reduced chronic pain, which is often due to inflammation. Not in the short term, because
a sting is still, well, stingy. But in a study of 54 patients with chronic
lower back pain published in 2017, those treated with bee venom
acupuncture reported more improvement than those who received saline, similar results to a 2006 trial of
30 patients with shoulder pain. Some research has found that bee venom might
even help treat neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's, where inflammation in
the brain harms and eventually kills neurons. But a clinical trial of 73
patients published in early 2018 found that the symptoms of those receiving
bee venom acupuncture had improved: they had a better walking gait, postural stability, and quality of life over those
who received saline instead. It could be that the venom actually protected
their neurons by reducing the dangerous inflammation, something seen in animal models of the disease. But while all these examples are promising, many doctors aren't ready
to embrace bee stings just yet. Because the results of individual small trials
aren't enough to say if a treatment works. You have to look at the research as a whole. Review papers published in 2008 and 2014 analyzed the results of previous studies on bee
venom therapy for pain and arthritis, respectively. And both concluded that when
you look at all the studies on this, there's not enough evidence
to say if venom is effective because the trials to date were
too small or had other flaws. Plus, attempts to use venom for other
conditions have not had such great results. For example, a 2005 trial in 26
patients with multiple sclerosis, a disease where chronic inflammation
slowly causes nerve damage, found that bee venom did nothing
for the patients that received it. And while the evidence in support of bee
venom therapy remains somewhat shaky, its dangers are well established. There are dozens of side effects that come
along with injecting people with an insect venom, ranging from, oh I don't know, pain,
and itching, to deadly allergic reactions. In a 2015 review and
meta-analysis of dozens of studies, researchers found that bee venom therapy
substantially increased the risk of a bad reaction to treatment,
which ranged from itching to death. In fact, of the 397 patients that received
bee venom across 20 clinical trials, 148 of them had adverse reactions. And these were patients who had initially
tested negative for venom allergies. So, even if bee venom therapy does work, the
benefits might not outweigh the risks. To make it a useful treatment, researchers
would need to figure out how to harness the therapeutic potential of venom
while reducing those risks. Part of the problem is that most
studies use whole bee venom and all of its allergy-inducing components when it's likely only some or even one
compound is needed for the desired effect. In the meantime, the results of a few
small studies probably aren't enough to justify jabbing venom-spiked
needles into your body. Thanks for watching this episode of SciShow! And if you want to learn
more about insect venom, you might like our episode on 8

Facebook Bans Cryptocurrency and ICO Ads
Every day it seems we are getting news regarding the regulation of bitcoin and all other cryptocurrencies. Mostly the news is coming out of South Korea where regulations on cryptocurrencies are such a hot issue. However today it was a big corporation outside of South Korea that made headlines. Facebook announced today that they will be banning all cryptocurrency advertising on their platform as well as ICOs. Many predicted that big corporations would start seeing cryptocurrency as a threat but in the case of Facebook, they might just be trying to protect their consumers.
Protecting their Users from Scammers
The banning is for any form of ads related to binary options, cryptocurrencies, or ICOs. This seems to be their way of stopping the promotion of people that pay to play on Facebook. These people are basically people who are looking to scam. They say they are looking to raise money but they actually have zero plans to raise money. So Facebook users might click on an ad because they are interested in cryptocurrency, then get scammed.
Since most are new to cryptocurrency there are many situations where people are getting scammed. Facebook looks to avoid this situation before it gets out of hand. ICOs are also being banned which shows how broad this ban is going to be.
Bad News for Cryptocurrency Companies
However, this is bad for reputable cryptocurrency companies that would like to use Facebook to promote their business. Facebook has the biggest audience anyone can reach. Therefore, Instagram who will probably at some point adopt the same policy. Facebook will continue to buy more and more social media companies which will, in turn, make cryptocurrency advertising very difficult.
What will Google do?
Now we will need to wait and see what Google does. Will google welcome this extra ad revenue from cryptocurrency ads? Or will they follow Facebook and ban them? If Google decides to follow Facebook, they are changing how cryptocurrency is promoted in the future.

I believe I have the setup done correctly as I can see WSJT receiving as well as I am able to transmit. The WSJT program's receive meter shows about half scale (40db), so I don't think I'm over driving anything. The receive window in WSJT just stays blank. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Posted on: August 9, 2018 by Huntersure LLC.
In recent years, the entertainment industry and the news media industry have seen exponential growth in development and production. From streaming services like Netflix and Hulu changing the way we watch TV and movies to vloggers storming platforms like YouTube to freelance writers finding more work in the gig economy, content has never been this available and abundant. In fact, United States media and entertainment revenues are expected to reach $792.3 billion by 2022, up from $666.9 billion in 2017, according to PwC.
With this in mind, it's now more important than ever for multimedia professionals and companies that develop entertainment, content and news to be diligent about protecting their integrity with multimedia insurance. This kind of coverage provides for the needs of media clients creating or disseminating content. Insurance agents should be able to convey the importance of such coverage in a developing and ever-growing landscape of entertainment and multimedia production.
Media liability insurance is a specialized form of errors and omissions insurance that provides coverage for claims from third parties. Insurance agents should know the risks that their multimedia clients face because this could be the difference between keeping the content coming and being put out of business due to legal issues.
Depending on the policy terms, claims can be wide ranging and include invasion of privacy, defamation, libel, slander, and copyright infringement among others. Multimedia insurance includes a broad protection for publishers and broadcasters as they update their methods of content production. Advertising agencies benefit from coverage as they work on campaigns in a fluid market. And video and film producers can be confident in moving forward with projects without having to worry about liability claims if they have multimedia insurance in place.
Possibly the biggest claim made against those working in the media industry, be they individual or entire businesses, is intellectual property infringement. This claim points to any breach of property rights when a certain work protected by IP law is copied or exploited without permission.
From piracy to reusing content in a news story or magazine article, IP infringement has shined a light on integrity of content creators.
Insurance agents should work with multimedia clients in going over every detail about the coverage they need. Those seeking insurance can have a wide-ranging list of needs that vary from platform to platform. That's why it's important for insureds to purchase coverage that is broad in order to cover every bit of content and media activity.
Huntersure LLC is a full-service Managing General Agency that has provided insurance program administration for professional liability products to our partners across the United States since 2007. We specialize in providing insurance solutions for businesses of all sizes. Our program features can cover small firms (grossing $2.5 million annually) to large corporations (grossing $25 million annually or more). We make doing business with us easy with our breadth and depth of knowledge of E&O insurance, our proprietary underwriting system that allows for responsive quoting, binding and policy issuance and tailored products to meet the needs of your insureds. Give us a call at (646) 751-3030 to learn more.

Milligan, Tenn. – Despite taking both games to extra innings, the Lady Crusader softball team dropped a doubleheader to Milligan College 1-0 and 5-4 on Monday afternoon.
North Greenville and Milligan were in a scoreless tie in game one until an RBI single by Milligan's Emily Biggs ended the game in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Taylor Roof (8-10) picked up the tough loss after pitching 7 2/3 innings, giving up only one run on five hits while striking out eight batters, pushing her season total to a team-leading 105 strikeouts.
At the plate, the Lady Crusaders were able to muster only four hits in the game. Courtney Campbell led the offense as she finished the game 2-for-3 with a double, while Roof and Emily Campbell each finished the game 1-for-3.
In game two, Milligan struck early with three runs in the first inning and one more in the third before the Lady Crusaders stormed back with three runs of their own in the fourth inning. North Greenville tied the game at four runs apiece in the top of the seventh inning before Milligan used an RBI single in the bottom of the eighth inning to sweep the doubleheader.
Roof had a stellar game two at the plate as she finished 1-for-3 with a run scored and three RBI. Roof hit her team-leading seventh home run in the fourth inning. The three-run blast brought her team-leading RBI total to 22 runs batted in on the season. C. Campbell continued her strong day on offense, as she was 2-for-4 at the plate with a run scored, while Kelsey Burgess finished the day 1-for-3 with a double and her first collegiate RBI.
C. Campbell started on the mound in game two but lasted just 2/3 of an inning, giving up three runs on four hits. Laura Hopper came on in relief but control issues limited her to just 2/3 of an inning before Roof pitched 1 2/3 innings, giving up one run on two hits. Kimberly Robertson (3-2) picked up the loss after pitching the final 4 1/3 innings, allowing one run on four hits while striking out two batters.
With four games left on the schedule, the Lady Crusaders (15-20) will travel to Tusculum, Tenn. tomorrow, April 19, to play in a doubleheader against Tusculum College beginning at 2 p.m.

Greece Continues to Block Joint Statement of 60th EU Anniversary
Last Update: 15:18
Two days before the 60th anniversary of the European Union which will be celebrated in Rome with a summit, the Greek government continues to block the celebratory joint statement on the grounds of lack of solidarity in the EU today.
At the meeting with representatives of the heads of EU member states who prepare the summit in Rome, the Greek prime minister's representative Vangelis Kalpadakis argued that Athens could not support the text referring to the values of the EU and solidarity between member states, while Greece is asked to meet the unrealistic demands of the International Monetary Fund in the bailout program review negotiations.
The Greek side wants to include a paragraph with an explicit reference to EU achievements regarding labor laws and social benefits in the declaration that will be made.
As Athens persists for the reference to be included, the Rome Declaration remains in draft form. Final decisions on the exact wording of the statement and whether Athens will maintain its stance that it will not sign it if the specific paragraph is not added will be taken on Thursday (today).
The state leaders can not go to Rome on Friday until the declaration is completed. However, it is alleged that the paragraph the Greek government demands will not be included.
German government spokesman Steffen Zeibert said that Greece's bailout program is an issue not at all related to the EU joint declaration and the celebration of its anniversary.
