How To Keep Pets Safe When Moving Home.
Moving from one home to another is a normal occurrence in this life. Unavoidable circumstances may force someone to move from the old home to another. This is usually a very stressful activity to most people. One may even need to seek professional help when doing so. Small moving Inc. is such an example. Most modern day families own pets.Owning pets has become a common thing for many families. Most people will move along with their pets. More humans, pets also experience the anxiety and the stressful ordeal that comes with moving home.
The mix up of moving into a new home may have some negative impact on the pets. The pets to feel anxious when things do not seem normal to them. For this reason, their safety should also be a priority. There are tips to assist in the care and transportation of these pets. These three areas are before moving, during the process of moving and after the whole moving process. A person has nothing to worry when they follow these simple instructions.
Before moving day, it is advised to follow some helpful procedures. One of such things is whether the move is local or out of the country and the how long such move will take. For shorter distances, seeking the help of friends or neighbors to look after your pet is a good idea. This is even easier with outdoor pets since they are less affected before the actual moving. The very small pets can be carried inside the cars with other valuables. In case the move oversees, pets may require pet passports, micro chip, vaccinations or sometimes they may be moved by specialists.
During the moving process, there are still basic considerations to be made. It starts right inside the old house. Pet owners are advised to keep their pets out of the way since there is always huge commotions of moving house commodities out of the house. During this activity, one's pet might get a knock from some of the heavy furniture being moved out. The oblivion of the pet may further the danger of the pet getting injured in the process. It is often encouraged to seek the assistance of a friend or a neighbor to take care of your pet during the act of moving things out of the house.
It is not over yet after successfully settling in the new premises. Pets also get used to their surrounding as we all do. Pets are more likely to be distressed when are kept in new environment that they are not used to. It is therefore advised to strictly keep your pet inside the house for some time before letting them out of the house. Bringing along the bed of your pet will help them to adapt. Old blankets of the pet can also serve the same purpose as their beds.

RUTH SUNDERLAND: Bailout spectre hanging over Spanish
Reluctant: Mariano Rajoy is unwilling to concede Spain requires a bailout
The eurozone crisis looks set to take a major turn for the worse as Spain lurches towards a bailout, probably followed by Italy.
The Spanish premier, Mariano Rajoy, is reluctant to concede as much.
Understandably so, because of the humiliation it would inflict on a proud nation, and through fear of the harsh austerity conditions the eurozone's German paymasters would impose on a populace that has already made deep sacrifices in the name of the single currency.
Yet Rajoy is unlikely to be able to resist the pressure for much longer.
Madrid's borrowing costs eased off after Mario Draghi, the European Central Bank supremo, announced a theoretically limitless pledge to buy sovereign bonds.
The catch is that Spain, and any other supplicants, have to apply for a bailout first.
So long as they refuse to submit, then the ECB bond-buying scheme amounts to absolutely nothing.
In recent days, markets have cottoned on to this, and Spanish borrowing costs have been rising again. That could force Rajoy's hand.
Unlike Greece, Portugal and Italy, where fiscally incontinent governments borrowed to the hilt, Spain's national public finances were broadly balanced until the financial crisis.
Its problem is that businesses, regional governments and individuals embarked on a debt frenzy, encouraged by the cheap loan rates ushered in by membership of the eurozone.
The result: a property boom and bust, lavish local infrastructure spending such as an airport in Valencia where not a single plane has landed and a debt-fuelled foreign takeover spree, including a number of UK targets.
Much of Spain's banking system is devastated. This week it emerged that the banks are harbouring £136bn of bad debts on their balance sheets; with one in four Spaniards out of a job, they are struggling to meet their commitments and nearly 10 per cent of total loans are in arrears.
Savers have embarked on an exodus from Spanish banks, with £59bn leaking out in July.
This diminishing deposit base is destabilising, and hurts the ability of the banks to bolster economic recovery by lending to businesses.
The Spanish banking system, remember, is already being propped up by billions of ECB euros.
There is speculation that a timetable of reforms, due to be published at the end of the month along with next year's budget and the results of a banking sector stress test, will pave the way to a bailout. The battered eurozone is accelerating towards its biggest test yet.
King and country
There are many thorny issues in the planned merger between BAE and European giant EADS but perhaps the prickliest of them all is governance.
Ian King, the chief executive of BAE, and his counterpart Tom Enders, say they will pull the deal unless the French and German governments agree to the dismantling of their special powers, including over board appointments, so that the new group can be run as a normal commercial business.
Whether the supposed attractions of the deal are sufficient to persuade the Elysee and the Bundestag to concede remains to be seen.
As a reassurance to politicians, in the announcement last week it was proposed that France, Germany and the UK should be given 'golden shares', similar to the one held by the British Government in BAE, enabling them to block hostile bids.
Doubts have now been raised over whether golden shares would be legal, since EADS/BAE will no longer be a defence company, but a mixed military and civil concern. The BAE camp now says it is not keen on the term 'golden shares' and prefers to talk about 'national security protection' instead.
But keeping military secrets is actually not the same thing as safeguarding the new merged group from a bid from the Kremlin, or any other unwanted foreign predator.
The issue of the golden shares needs to be clarified, and quickly.
Rich seams
The violent dispute over pay at Lonmin's Marikana platinum mine in South Africa appears to have been resolved, with the workers, whose basic pay is typically under £5,000 a year for difficult and dangerous work, accepting a deal.
The lesson of the tragic events at Marikana is that mining executives at Lonmin and other companies must wake up to their social responsibilities, including decent pay and safety conditions for employees, as well as tuning their own rewards to the difficult business climate.
In this context, the announcement of a pay freeze for BHP Billiton boss Marius Kloppers – who took home £1.4m basic last year or £2m with pension and other perks – looks like small beer.

Christine introduces this Party #19:
The photo is of course of my beloved Abbess Petunia. This is the first time she stars as the prompt for a Poetry Party. She teaches me many things, but her total abandon when it comes to rest is one of the most precious gifts she offers. I have been thinking a lot about Sabbath these days because summer is coming when my husband's and my schedule slow quite down a bit and we make time to relish relationship, to linger, to make discoveries in the sacred space of being rather than doing. So my invitation to you for this week's Poetry Party is to celebrate the gifts of being – what do you discover in those still spaces and holy pauses? Where are you invited to release the hold of doing and surrender to something much bigger?Time suspended in space, or maybe 'pause' refers to immeasurable minutes. Still but never ever static ways of just being and receptive, too...Abbess Petunia has the amazing gift of abandoning herself to the moment, in the moment, and I need the same ability to release the nearly compulsive "hold of doing." Christine mentioned Sabbath, and we read in Genesis 2:3
So God blessed the seventh day and hallowed it, because on it God rested from all the work that he had done in creation.a few blogs ago I quoted Carl Sandburg
...and the forgetfulness of our sleep is strange and beautiful in itself—and what would you rather have than sleep?However, the ability of someone like Petunia to rest without guilt, the talent my cats – like PumpkinMarigold in my featured pic – possess and happily own to fall asleep in a heartbeat are gifts most humanoids would welcome and could use, but what I'd "rather have than sleep" would be even more precious than restful, dream-filled sleep: it's the *where* of place and the *who* of people safe enough for me to dare abandon my worries, fears and anxieties, whether I'm waking, sleeping or inbetween.

My monitor is being plagued by strange discoloration at the very top of the screen. Its a Samsung syncmaster 171N LCD.
Does anybody recognize this problem/know anything I can do to fix/improve it?
Buying a new monitor is out of the question, so I'd least like to know what is going on here. The problem can best be described as a blotchy lighter area at the top of the screen. The size varies, somedays it will be an inch or more down the screen, today its only about a quarter inch. Thanks for any help, please see the attached images.
By the way, the area of discoloration has a very distinct edge, so its not backlight bleeding. Its almost as if a liquid got in at the top there and is seeping down. Also, this is a recent problem, it did't used to have this.
And one more thing that might help you diagnose: This area is prone to retaining images after they are gone. This only occurs in the discoloured area. For example, If I am browsing the web for several hours and then decide to play counter-strike, I can still see "shadows" of the text from the Firefox titlebar lingering at the top of the screen for quite some time while Im in the game.

Fluoride: Too Much of a Good Thing?
Fluoride is one of the most important minerals you can give to your child, especially when it comes to their dental health. Foods like sugar can create acid that removes the naturally occurring minerals from the surface of the tooth, causing tooth decay, or what is commonly known as a cavity. Fluoride remineralizes the tooth, preventing further cavities. Fluoride is crucial for human teeth, and fortunately it is in almost all naturally occurring water sources – but can you have too much of a good thing?
In the case of fluoride, yes. Too much fluoride, especially in children under the age of 8, can result in fluorosis, a discoloration of the enamel on the permanent teeth. These changes are usually subtle, but can also appear as yellow or brown spots on otherwise white teeth.
Fluoride toxicity can also occur, but it is very rare because large amounts of the mineral must be ingested. Nemours reports that children under age 6 account for more than 80 percent of those suspected to over-ingest fluoride. While these cases are usually not fatal, they require trips to the emergency room and remind parents why it's important to teach children not to swallow toothpaste.
To ensure your children are not getting too much fluoride, find out how much is in your water source. Most municipalities will add fluoride to their water sources at a low concentration to fight tooth decay, and will list the amount on their websites. Generally, a fluoridated toothpaste and water source will be enough to fight cavities without causing fluorosis. Ask your dentist whether your child needs a fluoride supplement if you are concerned his or her toothpaste, water or other dental products are not providing enough.

Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
When Nao Shingaki accepted a part-time job at a local convenience store, she never anticipated doing battle with the supernatural, but when the air at the malevolent mini-mart becomes thick with the scent of death, Nao must face her worst fears or lose her soul trying in this nightmarish tale of urban terror from first-time director Yoshihiro Hoshino. As events in the seemingly innocuous convenience store take an ominous turn for the worse, Nao is troubled by both the crippling stench emanating from the backyard and the owner's sadistic glee at the painful injuries sustained by a sales rep who was scouting the store on behalf of a major franchise. When the owner's wife succumbs to a mysterious madness and the vengeful spirits claim the souls of the night-shift clerk, Nao must risk it all if she has any hope of escaping with her life -- and soul -- intact.

The decision to purchase Tesla and add it to BSMF was based on "it seemed like a good idea at the time." The analysis was not what you'd call traditional.
I love the concept of electric vehicles. Ever since I was a teenager, it has seemed to me that it would be better to generate power without burning stuff if you could. Electric cars just seem so much more sensible to me than driving around with a container full of highly flammable liquids.
I'm also much enamored of things that are well made. Fit and finish is important to me. So many products manufactured in the last forty or fifty years are flimsy crap, built to be useful for a few weeks after the warranty expires. Most of the stuff I have bought from Apple over the years is still useful and functional – obsolete because computer technology keeps moving forward – but still capable of doing what it once did. Part of my research of TSLA was finding out if their product is worth my interest.
Steve, my son-in-law, and I were in a mall, where a Tesla sedan was being displayed. It was beautiful. Naturally, it was beautiful in the superficial way that a car on display always is. Nobody puts anything on display without ensuring it's pretty to look at. The Tesla was beautiful in ways that you just can't fix in the showroom. There were no loose threads sticking out from the upholstery. There were no uneven gaps where the dashboard met the firewall and windshield. The details you don't even consciously notice unless you're specifically looking for them were clean and right.
Steve asked the attendant technical questions. The attendant was an attractive young woman. I don't think it's at all cynical to expect that an attractive young woman at a car display will be nothing more than window dressing. She was polite, professional, confident, and knowledgeable about the product. These are details that a lot of companies don't get right.
In further research, I have listened to and read Elon Musk talking about his view of the future. This is a guy who has already made a few billion dollars, so I assume he'll be saying something useful. He can talk intelligently about Tesla, Solar City (another stock I'll blather about later), Space-X, and the Hyper Loop, among other things. Elon Musk is our current leading futurist. I have sought out his writing and speaking wherever I can find it.
All of that taken together encapsulates the reason I have invested in TSLA. The products are well made in ways that seem extravagant to traditional car makers. The company takes care of details that other companies ignore. The leader of the company is looking beyond the next quarter's profits. He's looking to fundamentally advance transportation and energy.
Since purchasing TSLA for BSMF, it has posted total gains of over 67%. It represents about 7% of the fund.

So I figured it is intriguing to distinguish the STI part stocks with the most reduced PB proportion and with a palatable profit yield of over 3.5%.
Here are The 4 Blue Chip stocks Companies
- Hutchison Port Holdings Trust
- CapitaLand Limited
- Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Holdings Limited
- Singapore Airlines Limited
1. Hutchison Port Holdings Trust
Circulation Yield: 8.7%
Hutchison Port Holdings Trust (HPHT) is a business assume that possesses profound water holder terminals in the Pearl River Delta including Hong Kong International Terminals and Yantian International Container Terminals in Shenzhen. Altogether, it has a sum of 36 compartments that took care of the aggregate throughput of 24.3 million twenty-foot equal holders in 2017.
In 2017, its Revenue and Total Operating Profit fell by 3% and 5% individually to HKD11.55 billion and HKD3.6 billion.
All the more as of late, its half-yearly income for the period finished 30 Jun 2018 stayed dormant at HKD5.45 billion while Operating Profit fell 4% to HKD1.59 billion.
2. CapitaLand Limited
Dividend Yield: 3.6%
CapitaLand Limited is one of Asia's biggest real estate organization, with tasks covering the full range of land improvement exercises extending from building, creating, working and assets administration of private, retail and business properties. Starting at 31 Mar 18, it has Assets Under Management (AUM) of S$91 billion.
In 2017, its income remained at S$4.61 billion while its Operating Profit after Tax and Minority Interest (Operating PATMI) was S$ 908 million. In 2016, the figures were S$5.25 billion and S$865 million.
Concerning the most recent quarterly profit, its income and PATMI was S$1.34 billion and S$107 million. In 2Q 2017, the figures were S$992 million and $582 million.
CapitaLand Limited's dividend has expanded from around 8 pennies for every offer in 2013 to 12 pennies for every offer in 2017. This is a half increment more than 5 years.
3. Yangzijiang Shipbuilding Holdings Limited
Profit Yield: 4.2%
Yangzijiang Shipbuilding (YZJ) is the biggest non-state owned ship-building organization in China that delivers an expansive scope of boats and vessels, for example, containership, mass transporters, Liquified Natural Gas vessels, and Very Large Ore Carriers, with 5 shipyards situated along the Yangtze River.
It has a transportation arm that claims an armada of 13 mass bearers rented out to create contract income. It likewise works other transportation-related administrations, for example, delivers configuration administrations and ship obliteration.
In Financial Year 2017, its income was RMB19, 206 million. This was a change from 2016 income of RMB15,089 million.
Its second quarter 2018 outcomes recorded a change with Revenue and Net Profit Attributable to Shareholder of RMB7,963 million (2017: RMB3,791 million) and RMB994 million (2017: RMB719 million) individually.
The YZJ yearly dividends have been generally dormant for more than 5 years. For the entire year 2017, its profits per share were 4.5 pennies.
4. Singapore Airlines Limited
Profit Yield: 4.2%
I figure I don't have to share excessively about Singapore Airlines (SIA). It is a standout amongst the most understood Singapore marks and has won various best carrier grants.
Its income in FY2018 was S$15,806 million, higher than the S$14,868 million in FY2017. Benefit before Tax was S$1,101 million in FY2018, multiplied by the comparable figure of S$518 million in FY2017.
With respect to initially quarter FY2019, SIA recorded income of S$3,844 million, a comparative figure to FY2018 first quarter – S$3,864 million. In any case, Profit before Tax tumbled to S$184 million from S$416 million a year sooner.
SIA doled out dividends that extended from 21 pennies to 45 pennies for each offer in the previous 5 years. Observe that in 2014, there was an erratic extraordinary profit of 25 pennies that helped the profits to 46 pennies that year.
Important Note
An organization with the low valuation or high-dividend yield does not really mean it is a deal stock. It is essential to investigate different factors, for example, the nature of the business and administration too.
Be that as it may, for financial specialists searching for profoundly underestimated stock, this may be a decent beginning stage for you.

They represented Canada at the 1980 Winter Olympics, where they placed 9th, and at the 1984 Winter Olympics, where they placed 7th. In 2009, she was named to the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame.[1]
Partnership with Martini

In 1979, they won their first senior national title and made their World Championship debut, finishing 11th. They placed 9th at the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York.
Underhill/Martini finished fourth at the 1982 World Championships in Copenhagen, having placed fifth in the short program and fourth in the free skate. The pair reached the podium at the 1983 World Championships in Helsinki. After placing third in both segments, they were awarded the bronze medal behind Elena Valova / Oleg Vasiliev of the Soviet Union and Sabine Baeß / Tassilo Thierbach of East Germany.
In February 1984, Underhill/Martini finished 7th at the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo. In March, they competed at the 1984 World Championships in Ottawa. Ranked second to Olympic gold medalists Valova/Vasiliev in the short program and first in the free skate, Underhill/Martini won Canada's first world figure skating title since Karen Magnussen in 1973.[2]
Later career
Underhill worked for 16 years as a skating TV commentator until 2006.[3] She then began working with hockey players to develop their speed and power.[3][4] Underhill initially worked with the Guelph Storm, of which her husband Rick Gaetz is a part owner.[1] She then began working with NHL teams—first the Anaheim Ducks, followed by the New York Rangers and the Tampa Bay Lightning.[1][3] Underhill was named in the 2011 edition of The Hockey News's list of the 100 most influential people in ice hockey due to her power skating coaching.[5] Underhill joined the National Hockey League's Toronto Maple Leafs as the team's Skating Consultant on April 20, 2012.[6]
Underhill also appeared on CBC TV's Battle of the Blades.

Learn about our editorial process Elizabeth Scott, MS Reviewed by Reviewed by Amy Morin, LCSW on July 01, 2019 facebook twitter instagram Amy Morin, LCSW, is a psychotherapist, author of the bestselling book "13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do," and a highly sought-after speaker. Learn about our Review Board Amy Morin, LCSW Updated on July 17, 2019 How Stress Impacts Your Health Overview Signs of Burnout Stress and Weight Gain Benefits of Exercise Stress Reduction Tips Self-Care Practices Mindful Living Most students experience significant amounts of stress, and this stress can take a significant toll on health, happiness, and grades. For example, a study by the American Psychological Association (APA) found that teens report stress levels similar to that of adults, meaning that they are experiencing significant levels of chronic stress, that they feel their levels of stress generally exceed their ability to cope effectively. Roughly 30% report feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or sad because of it. Stress can affect health-related behaviors like sleep patterns, diet, and exercise as well, taking a larger toll. An NYU study found that much of high school students' stress originates from school and activities and that this chronic stress can persist into college years and lead to academic disengagement and mental health problems. Given that nearly half of survey respondents reported completing three hours of homework per night in addition to their full day of school work and extracurriculars for many of them, this is understandable. Common Causes of Student Stress Common sources of student stress include: SchoolHomeworkExtracurricular activitiesSocial challengesTransitions (graduating, moving out, living independently)RelationshipsWork High school students face the intense competitiveness of taking challenging courses, amassing impressive extracurriculars, studying and acing the SATs and ACTs, and deciding important and life-changing plans for their future, all while navigating the social challenges that are inherent in the high school experience. Once they are finally accepted to the college of their dreams (or one they're happy to go to), the stress continues as they need to make new friends, handle a more challenging workload, be without parental support in many instances, and navigate the stresses that come with more independent living and making choices that will hopefully lead to a career. And relationships always add an extra layer of potential stress. Many students feel a sense of needing to relieve stress, but with all of the activities and responsibilities that fill a student's schedule, it's sometimes difficult to find the time to try new stress relievers to help dissipate that stress. That's why we've compiled the following list of stress relievers that are most appropriate for students: relatively easy, quick, and relevant to a student's life and types of stress. They'll help you to function at your best, and enjoy the journey as you continue to develop your skills and abilities. 1 Sleep Blend Images - Hill Street Studios/Brand X Pictures / Getty Images Students, with their packed schedules, are notorious for missing sleep. Unfortunately, operating in a sleep-deprived state puts you at a distinct disadvantage. You're less productive, you may find it more difficult to learn, and you may even be a hazard behind the wheel. Don't neglect your sleep schedule. Aim to get at least 8 hours a night and take power naps when you need them. How Stress Contributes to Sleep Problems 2 Visualization David Malan / Getty Images Using guided imagery to reduce stress is easy and effective. Visualizations can help you calm down, detach from what's stressing you, and turn off your body's stress response. You can also use visualizations to prepare for presentations and score higher on tests by vividly seeing yourself performing just as you'd like to. 3 Exercise YinYang / Getty Images One of the healthiest ways to blow off steam is to get a regular exercise program going. Students can work exercise easily into their schedules by doing yoga in the morning, walking or biking to campus, or reviewing for tests with a friend while walking on a treadmill at the gym. Starting now and keeping a regular exercise practice throughout your lifetime can help you live longer and enjoy your life more. Why Exercise Works So Well for Stress Relief 4 Breathing JGI/Jamie Grill / Getty Images When your body is experiencing a stress response, you're often not thinking as clearly as you could be. A quick way to calm down is to practice breathing exercises. These can be done virtually anywhere to relieve stress in minutes, and are especially effective for reducing anxiety before or even during tests, as well as during other times when stress feels overwhelming. 5 Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) Brand New Images / Getty Images Another great stress reliever that can be used during tests as well as before bed (to prepare for sleep), or at other times when stress has you physically "wound up," is something called Progressive Muscle Relaxation, or PMR. This technique involves tensing and relaxing all muscles until the body is completely relaxed. With practice, you can learn to release stress from your body in seconds. Learn more about PMR. This can be particularly helpful for students because it can be adapted to help relaxation efforts before sleep for deeper sleep, something students can always use, or even to relax and reverse test-induced panic before or during a test. 6 Music Francesco Corticchia / Getty Images A convenient stress reliever that has also shown many cognitive benefits, music can help you to relieve stress and either calm yourself down or stimulate your mind as your situation warrants. Students can harness the benefits of music by playing classical music while studying, playing upbeat music to 'wake up' mentally, or relaxing with the help of their favorite slow melodies. This can be helpful while studying, but can also be a great strategy to use while walking around on campus or gearing up for tests. 7 Ways to Use Music for Stress Relief 7 Organization Westend61 / Getty Images It's a fact that clutter causes stress, and can decrease productivity and even cost you money. Many students live in a cluttered place and even have cluttered study areas, and this can have negative effects on grades. One way to reduce the amount of stress that you experience as a student is to keep a minimalist, soothing study area that's free of distractions and clutter. This can keep stress levels low while studying, can save time in finding lost items, and keep roommate relationships more positive. It can also help students gain a positive feeling about their study area, which can help with test prep and encourage more studying. It's worth the effort. 8 Healthy Eating Niedring/Drentwett / Getty Images You may not realize it, but your diet can either boost your brain power or sap you of mental energy. While a healthy diet isn't generally thought of as a stress management technique or a study aid, it can actually function as both. Improving your diet can keep you from experiencing diet-related mood swings, light-headedness and more. 9 Self-Hypnosis selimaksan / Getty Images Students often find themselves "getting very sleepy" (like when they pull all-nighters), but—all kidding aside—self-hypnosis can be an effective stress management tool and a powerful productivity tool as well. With it, you can help yourself release tension from your body and stress from your mind, and plant the seeds of success in your subconscious mind with the power of autosuggestion. Stress Relief Activities You Should Try 10 Positive Thinking and Affirmations urbancow/Getty Images Did you know that optimists actually experience better circumstances, in part, because their way of thinking helps to create better circumstances in their lives? It's true! The habit of optimism and positive thinking can bring better health, better relationships, and, yes, better grades. Learn how to train your brain for more positive self-talk and a brighter future with affirmations and other tools for optimism. (Discover if you're an optimist or a pessimist.) You can also learn the limitations to affirmations and the caveats of positive thinking so you aren't working against yourself. More Ways for Students to Manage Their Stress Was this page helpful?

The Girodisc system is a direct replacement for the OE disc. No modifications are necessary. The disc will bolt directly to the car and work with OE calipers perfectly. By upgrading your brakes with lightweight high performance replacements as opposed to a big brake kit, your factory bias is maintained as well as your ABS efficiency. The Girodisc front rotors are approx 20.54lbs vs. 25 lbs for the stock units. This reduction in rotational and unsprung weight allows for quicker acceleration and suspension response.
The central hat section of our rotor is made from strictly U.S. sourced 6061-T6 aircraft specification aluminum. The disc is made from our own proprietary cast iron, poured in the USA and machined from start to finish in house at Girodisc. The rotor utilizes a curved vane design, developed in racing to act as a centrifugal pump to force cooling air through the disc.
The rotor and hat have a floating mount system, which utilizes 8 or 10 high strength alloy steel drive pins, manufactured by Girodisc in the USA to our own specifications and cadmium plated for a long lasting corrosion resistance. These pins take the load from braking actions while maintaining the axial and radial float between the hat and disc. The pins are secured by grade 12 cap screws with hardened washers. In order to keep the rotors from making noise when cold, the pins are mounted with anti-noise spring washers on the rotor side which allow the rotor to grow with heat expansion but eliminate the rattle and noise associated with floating rotors. This float also allows the rotor to self center between the pads.
Once the Girodisc system is in place, simply replace the cast iron rotor when needed.

As you're no doubt aware we like to cover ALL female games character news we can. We love our female games characters here at Thumb Bandits and we love them more when they don't conform to developers type ie huge breasts, little substance. When the developers try something a little different we applaud them, and that's what it seems Naughty Dog has done here. Meet "Uncharted 3" villain Katherine Marlowe, voiced (and motion captured) by English actress Rosalind Ayres. Lead designer Richard Lemarchand said of Ayres: "We are extremely lucky to be working with her. She has brought an tremendous amount to this character. At Naughty Dog, we feel that a big part of the success of the Uncharted games is due to the effort that we put into our performance capture process where we work with the actors, improvising scenes with them and very often some of the best lines come straight from the actors, the things they invent while we are rehearsing with them and Ros has been fantastic in helping us in developing Marlowe's character". Sounds like Marlowe will be a great villain, because she's a more cerebral villain as opposed to heavy handed. She kind of comes across in this trailer as a Peggy Mitchell type, with her Mitchell boys at her side (from UK soap "EastEnders" in which cockney Peggy Mitchell is a bit of a rough nut). Check out the awesome Katherine Marlowe reveal trailer and see what you think. Kudos to Naughty Dog, for once more thinking outside of the box.
You have to hand it to ND they don't – generally speaking – conform to the negative stereotypes of women in gaming most other devs do. Elena is a fine example of how a female character should be done and I am so pleased she will return in Uncharted 3.
ND are the thinking mans / womans developer.
She is going to kill it! The characterizations inUncharted are all so cool. Those dudes did look like Phil and Grant Mitchell.

2017 November 9 14:39
Media Group PortNews will hold "Hydraulic Engineering Structures of Water Transport" Congress in Moscow on 7-8 February 2018
Two-day international Congress "Hydraulic Engineering Structures of Water Transport" will take place in Moscow on 7-8 February 2018. The Congress will be organized by the leading maritime industry media group IAA PortNews in partnership with International Dredging Association (IADC). DAMEN Shipyards Group will act as the General Sponsor.
Infrastructure development is one of the real sources of Russia's economy growth. Construction of port facilities and new hydraulic engineering structures on the country's inland waterways constitute an essential part of all infrastructure projects. It is important to take into account the existing international experience to implement these projects effectively.
IAA PortNews in 2018 is expanding its project of annual international forums of dredging companies held in Moscow. We want to look more broadly at the industry, so we have planned to launch yet another event – a Congress dedicated to all aspects of the construction and operation of hydraulic engineering structures of water transport. This event will take place in early February, before the opening of the 2018 season when dredging and hydraulic engineering works start.

Consumers choosing \u201ccruelty-free\u201d and sustainable clothes are relentlessly increasing, and multinationals are adapting to this new trend by starting to produce new lines that meet their\u00a0needs. This is precisely what Reebok is doing. The US firm, which specialises in the production of footwear, has announced the launch of a new line of sustainable and ethical shoes<\/strong>, made with materials from plant origin.<\/p>\n
<\/a>
Reebok's new footwear are made from organic cotton and industrial-grown corn \u00a9 Uriel Sinai\/Getty Images<\/p><\/div>\n
Compostable\u00a0shoes<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Reebok\u2019s new shoes, named Cotton+Corn<\/strong>, are 100% biodegradable as their uppers are made from cotton and the soles from corn. "Reebok is trying to clean up the entire life cycle of shoe making," said Bill McInnis, Head of the\u00a0Reebok\u00a0Future team. The new line of shoes is\u00a0developed by Reebok in collaboration with DuPont Tate & Lyle Bio Products<\/a>, firm specialising in the production of innovative materials made from renewable resources.<\/p>\n
<\/iframe><\/div>\n
From shoes to compost<\/h2>\n
Reebok has also thought about the disposal of comfortable shoes for everyone especially those dealing with plantar fasciitis<\/a> that, once the pair of shoes reached their end of life, will be used to make compost to fertilize the land in which cotton and corn are grown, representing a perfect example of circular economy<\/a>. "We'll use that compost as part of the soil to grow the materials for the next range of shoes. We want to take the entire cycle into account; to go from dust to dust."<\/p>\n
<\/a>
Reebok is to launch a new line of shoes made from materials of plant origin in order to make the world of footwear more sustainable \u00a9 Carsten Koall\/Getty Images<\/p><\/div>\n
Just the first step<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\u201cThis is really just the first step for us,\u201d said\u00a0McInnis. \u201cOur goal is to create a broad selection of bio-based footwear that can be composted after use\u201d. So, the firm\u00a0commits to reducing its environmental impact and take the path towards sustainability. \u201cReebok\u2019s philosophy is to be more human, and sustainability is a core part of that belief. As human beings, said\u00a0Reebok president\u00a0Matt O\u2019Toole<\/strong>. \u201cWe have a responsibility to leave this planet as we found it for future generations\u201d.<\/p>\n

Temporarily voleless

Excellent photos - especially of the fox.
Interesting on the lack of water voles though. It will be interesting to see if this just a blip or if there is semi-permanent.

It's happened before, in 2007, but that time we put it down to rats (I was seeing loads). however, no one's seen hide nor hair of a rat this year, so I just don't know what's happened. I suppose predation's most likely, or drowning.
I'll keep looking out, though, because as populations further up expand, they could well come back again. That's what happened in 2007.
I found absolutely loads of latrines in a different ditch this evening, but I'm not ready just yet to displace my fox for umpteen photos of poo!

Fox photo is gorgeous. He looks so interested in you! Foxes wouldn't be vole predators would they?

Oh yes, along with raptors, corvids, mustelids, herons, cats, rats, grass snakes and pike. Pretty much everything eats water voles, and I've found fox poo before with water vole remains poking out (orange incisors).
However, native redators are in the balance, and not too much of a problem. The big problem conservationists have is with American mink, and to a lesser extent, domestic cats. Those two non-native species have a terrible impact on water voles.
Foxes are omnivores, and will eat things like fruit and cheese if they can get them. A large part of their diet is minibeasts, eg worms.

Hollywood can sometimes be prophetic, with scripts and films that often tell the future (or plant the seeds) for actual events. With the Key West Film Festival kicking off this week, the Weekly examined some of our favorite Nostradamus movies out of Tinseltown. And while KITT the talking Pontiac from Knight Rider has yet to appear, a lot of uncanny and spooky revelations have come true after hitting the screen.
By Hays and Britt
- In 2000, The Simpsons' season 11, episode "Bart to the Future" predicted Donald Trump's Presidency some 16 years later.
- "You've Got Mail" (1998) introduced online dating with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. The two chatted via email about nothing and yet fell in love. Eat your heart out, ChristianMingle.
- The book "1984" was written by George Orwell in 1949, made into movies in 1956 and 1984, and its premise was a world ruled by a totalitarian government. Big Brother controlled the masses with distractions such as wars. Fast forward to today, with cameras on every street corner and decades of ongoing military conflicts.
- "Executive Decision" is a 1996 action hit starring Kurt Russell and containing the spookiest plot. Roughly five years before 9/11, the movie's premise had terrorists hijacking a plane with plans to use it as weapon during a planned suicide mission. Yikes.
- "Airplane II: The Sequel" (not as funny as the original) had full-animated body scanners at the airport. Hint: they magically only worked on women. Full body scanners didn't actually happen until 2013; luckily they aren't as revealing as they were in 1982 (RIP Lloyd Bridges).
- "WarGames" (1983), starring Matthew Broderick, gave us our first taste of cyber warfare. Greetings, Professor Falken, shall we play a game?
- "Bladerunner," the original in 1982, showed the world the first digital billboards. Something we still could do without.
- "2001: A Space Odyssey," released in 1968, had an intelligent, talking computer named H.A.L. 9000. Now there is Siri. Wonder if the two are related?
- "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" in 1979 (along with the TV series which originated in 1966) pre-fabricated a whole list of technology compiled by Quartz website including: Tablet communicators, voice-interaction computers, Bluetooth headsets, portable computer memory, ultrasound technology, biometric data tracking, cloaking devices, GPS, automatic doors, big screen displays, teleconferencing, bionic eyes, and diagnostic beds. No warp drive yet. Bummer.
And imagine being beamed from New Town to Old Town without the crosswalks to worry about.
- "Face/Off" (1997), starring John Travolta and Nicholas Cage, included the first surgical face transplant. In real life, the first successful partial face transplant did not happen until 2005 in France, and the first full transplant happened in Spain five years later.
