Different types of forklifts serve different purposes and it's not uncommon for a company to have at least two types. The main types of forklift are:
- Counterbalance
- Reach truck
- Walkie and electric-powered hand truck
- Side loader
- Order picker and narrow aisle forklift
- Off-road forklift
These can further be broken down into the fuel type used (electric, diesel, LPG or hydrogen) and the types of tyres (solid or pneumatic).
You also have different attachments that can be used, too – for example, you might have an electric truck for inside the warehouse which uses a bale clamp, but a general purpose diesel counterbalance for the yard which uses forks and a gib lifter.
Each type of truck has its own configuration, controls layout, characteristics, load rating, steering method and sensitivity, pre-start check and shut down process. Each one will also be a different dimension to the others. Therefore, jumping out of one forklift and into another can take some adjustment time.
Documentation about the forklift will help and this is in the form of the O&M (Operation and Maintenance) manual. If you are privately buying a second-hand forklift then try to source the manual online if it's not available.
How much do you need to train?
The theory behind how all forklifts work is the same, so the forklift operator's certificate theory modules will cover everything that they need to know about safe operation. However, operators must be inducted and trained on the specific operating processes of each forklift as well as any requirements that your company has. For example, manual pallet jacks and electric-powered pallet jacks have some specific knowledge that is required before use.
If you have two slightly different models of the same brand, it may only be necessary to point out the differences, but if a newly acquired forklift is significantly different it pays to get the manufacturer in to train one or more of your team who can then induct and train other users. However, the difference between an off-road forklift and a reach truck is significant; you would be expected to provide more detailed training on this equipment and ensure that the operator is competent.
WorkSafe says:
You must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, those who carry out work of any kind, use plant of any kind, or deal with a substance of any kind that is capable of causing a risk in a workplace:
- either have adequate knowledge or experience of similar work so they are not likely to cause harm to themselves or other people or are supervised by someone who has the relevant knowledge and experience, and
- are adequately trained in the safe use of all plant, objects, substances, or equipment the workers are or may be required to handle, as well as all personal protective equipment (PPE) that the workers are or may be required to wear or use
You are not required by WorkSafe to keep training records but it is a good idea to document everything you do in case you need to prove that an operator has had induction and training on a specific piece of equipment.

Reading long policy documents for any financial investment can be agony, but it doesn't mean you don't need to do it. Instead of getting someone else to read them for you, we have compiled a list of movies which can help. This way you can watch and enjoy your insurance learnings, before getting to the fine print. So, here is a list of the best insurance and financial advice from the movies:
1. The Incredibles (2004)
We all remember this Pixar gem; of course, we do! How can anyone forget—Mr Incredible? Elastigirl? Violet?! DASH!
Plot: Superhero, 'Mr Incredible' (Bob), transforms into an insurance agent after public outrage forces crime fighters into retirement. However, the crime never stops and the family of undercover superheroes have to group together to save the world, once again.
Lesson: Family is not only the most important thing, it is everything; you need to secure their future, even if you're not in it. Elastigirl (Helen) truly explains the essence of insurance, promoting the value of security. She says, while comforting Bob—'…Go save the world, one policy at a time'.
There's an endearing scene where Bob tries to explain to old ladies the beneficial loopholes in their insurance policies; encouraging the audience to always read the fine print of one's insurance. Always be on your guard, just like The Incredibles!
2. OMG – Oh My God! (2012)
A 2012-release, the movie created quite a few waves and discussions with its storyline, which was never heard of before. While it got its fair share of controversies, the movie was a success as a whole.
Plot: Kanji Lal Mehta, an atheist shopkeeper sees that only his shop is destroyed when a low-intensity earthquake hits his market area. Incensed, when his insurer rejects his claim on the basis of disaster exclusion as an 'Act of God', he decides to file a lawsuit against god.
Lesson: While the movie shrewdly depicts the fraudulence of godmen and god women, it pinpoints one vital thing—always be aware of the exclusions in your policy. You do not want to end up like Kanji, do you?
3. Double Indemnity (1944)
Ranked 29th on the American Film Institute's '100 Greatest American Movies', it is an absolutely thrilling tale!
Plot: Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray), an insurance agent from Los Angles falls to the charms of Phyllis (Barbara Stanwyck). They hatch a plan where once Phyllis' husband signs the life insurance, the duo kills him and orchestrate it to look like an accident. The act is to help Phyliss gain twice the amount of her husband's insurance money, under the double indemnity clause. Their game plan faces a serious hindrance when the company's claims adjuster suspects their foul play.
Lesson: reading the fine print of your policy can help you get more than you think. (Only when the claim is justified, of course!)
4. Ajnabee (2004)
Filled with thrill, suspense, and loads of wit, it is everything one can expect from an Abbas-Mustan offering.
Plot: Raj (Bobby Deol) and Priya (Kareena Kapoor), a newly married couple move to Switzerland, where they befriend Vikram (Akshay Kumar) and Sonia (Bipasha Basu). Everything seems all right, until the day Raj wakes up in Vikram's house and finds Sonia dead. Did Raj murder his friend's wife or was it Vikram's devious plot all along, just to get his hands on his wife's insurance money?
Lesson: There are two important takeaways from this movie, when it comes to the subject of insurance—always be very vigilant when you pick a nominee in your policy (poor Sonia!), and ensure that you choose smart passwords, which are not easy to predict.
5. The Big White (2005)
Dead bodies, mafia, fraud, and romance—what else can one ask from a drama?
Plot: Travel agent Paul Barnell (Robin Williams) comes across a frozen corpse, which is dumped after a mafia hit. Sensing an escape from his financial problems, he mutilates the corpse and stages it as an animal attack in order to encash his lost brother's insurance settlement. Seems simple? Well, there are several hurdles blocking Barnell's way—the suspicious insurance agent, the mafia who also have their eye on the money, and the re-emergence of Barnell's long lost brother Raymond, just in time.
Lesson: Never ever commit a fraud, especially not insurance related! You might get the money but the law will eventually catch hold of you.
Who knew that insurance could be such a gripping subject? Your insurance is your security blanket, which will keep you and your family safe during unfavourable circumstances. Watch these movies to pump up on insurance matters, and then head straight to Aegon Life to avail the best insurance plans in the market.
Insure your loved one's financial future after you with term insurance.

The NL Woodworking School 2014 Schedule is up
Our schedule of courses for 2014 will be limited this coming year so we wanted to post the schedule to help everyone plan well ahead for their bench space. We will be holding five of our Nine-day Foundational Courses with a maximum of 8 paying students* per course.
Please visit the New Legacy website here for current information on the school and the upcoming workshops.
The Foundational course has proven ever popular in improving the more in-depth insights needed for new and developing woodworkers seeking to develop their woodworking skills. Because we have a limited number of places this year we anticipate fully-booked workshop classes once again so please consider your schedule as soon as possible and book your bench space. For overseas attendees we will help you with planning your visit directly we hear from you and will answer any queries to smooth your passage to the UK.
Discovering woodworking is not so much for new woodworkers only but those new to traditional woodworking and in particular hand tool methods of work. New and seasoned woodworkers readily follow an even-paced course surrounding the essentials that help them to discover the real power of hand tools in the woodshop. Throughout the two days students develop the skills and techniques used by European masters for centuries; techniques that make woodworking interesting, dynamic and fun. We begin by demolishing the many myths and mysteries that now confuse the simplicity of sharpening planes, chisels, saws and scrapers. Hands-on benchwork combines with interactive demonstrations and lectures to establish a more thorough understanding of the materials we work with and the tools and techniques everyone must master to get started in real woodworking.
Penrhyn Castle in North Wales is one of the National Trust's most prestigious properties and Britain's areas of outstanding natural beauty. Our New Legacy workshops are in the Castle proper and our immediate and extended surroundings are the most beautiful areas in the whole of Wales and Britain too. It's a haven for tourists to discover the rich and diverse culture of the Welsh people and it's also conducive to learning a new craft
Beyond the Castle walls our students this past year came from the USA and Canada, Sweden, Holland and Ireland. They came from Brazil, Mexico, Germany Dubai and throughout Britain too and the list from around the world over two decades of training woodworkers would be too exhaustive. Plan your bench space at Penrhyn Castle with me and we will help you plan your trip to our beautiful North Wales school.
The second most major international airport in Britain serving the North West region of Britain at Manchester is less than two hours from North Wales by car or train. Again, if we can help you in planning your trip please contact www.woodworkingschool.com See you in the new year.
Limited bench spaces this coming year means booking as early as possible. We keep the classes to a comfortable size and encourage students to book their space at the bench as early as possible. By their nature, the classes are always interactive, stimulating and diverse and it's this that makes our courses ever popular. This year we will have only 40 paid places* in our 2-day Discovering Woodworking courses and 40 paid places* in the nine-day Foundational courses. Please plan ahead early to avoid disappointment as we will no longer be able to offer overspill classes as in times past.
Please follow this link to see the dates available.
* We sometimes offer sponsored scholarships on the courses. However, classes will have an absolute maximum of 10 people on each course.

Very excited about this and the prospect of attending!

After owning and putting a Nikon ProStaff Spotting Scope through an extreme field test for over 4 years, I thought it is time for a Nikon ProStaff Spotting Scope Review. I have the Nikon ProStaff 16-48X65 mm Spotting Scope and have access to the 20-60X82 mm Model, which my brother-in-law has and I have used on multiple occasions. They are very similar in looks with the exception size.
Overall Price/Quality Score: 10 out of 10
I originally bought the Nikon ProStaff Spotting Scope without actually ever holding it. I basically bought it trusting Nikon's history of producing high quality products at a value price, as well as taking the word of many Nikon ProStaff spotting scope reviews that I read, nearly all of which were positive. Upon receiving the spotting scope, I was more than happy with the end result. I feel more than comfortable suggesting this scope as a product that is well worth the price, and then some.
For more Info or to Buy, Click Here : Check both sites for best price
EagleOptics: Nikon Prostaff Spotting Scope 16-48X65 Price: $299.95 20-60×82: $499.95
Amazon: Nikon Prostaff Spotting Scope 16-48X65 Price: $299.95 20-60×82: $499.95
*** Note: The prices shown above reflect what they were at the time of this review. EagleOptics.com and Amazon.com had them on sale for the lowest price I have ever seen. I do not know how long this will last.
Nikon ProStaff Spotting Scope Review
- Great Optics
- Great Build
- Nice Protective Case
- Great Mechanics
- Excellent Warranty
- Unbeatable Price
- Light Weight
- Value for Price
- Not the prettiest scope
- Bulky
I was very pleasantly surprised the first time I looked through the eye piece of the Nikon Prostaff Spotting Scope. The optics are second to none for a scope in its price range. In fact, when placed next to a spotting scope that retails right about $1000, the images of the Nikon ProStaff 20-60x82mm were not that far off. The difference between the Nikon ProStaff 20-60x82mm and the $1000 spotting scope was even less noticeable.
Light Gathering:
Both the Nikon ProStaff 65mm and 82mm Spotting Scopes capture a lot of light for value priced spotting scopes. As can be expected, the bigger objective of the 82mm definitely out shined the 65mm in low light conditions, but even the 65mm provided me with better images than I was expecting after using several other spotting scopes in similar price ranges. During times of good light, the difference in brightness was not much to speak of between the 65mm and 82mm.
Magnification / Zoom
The mechanic of the zoom eye piece are very fluid, easy to turn, and feel like they are built with quality in mind. This is very important as the zoom gets a lot of use.
As for the quality of the images in relation to the zoom, the Nikon Prostaff exceeded my expectations here as well. The 82mm, with its 20-60 power variable zoom can bring an object right in close with little loss of crispness depending on the conditions of lighting and clearness. Of course, if the conditions are not ideal, you wont get a perfect image of the object, but both these scopes do not make it any worse. Typically value priced scopes, anything under $400 or $500, loose much more quality than does the Nikon ProStaff Spotting Scope. My guess though is that if the 65mm zoomed much more, you would begin to see a decline in the optical clarity and things would get grainy very quick.
Focus Knob
A focus knob should be easy to turn and provide quick, yet fine tuned focusing. The Nikon Prostaff Spotting Scope's focus knob does just that. Both models are very efficient at getting you to the focal point, and then are easy to fine tune to get you a focused, clear image.
With the Nikon Prostaff Spotting Scope in your hands, you can tell it is not high dollar European Optic quality of any sort. It is quite light weight for it's size, and just does not give a feel of a super sturdy spotting scope. That being said, I have owned my Nikon Prostaff 16-48x65mm Spotting Scope for over 4 years now and have had no problems whatsoever with the quality in craftsmanship and heard no reviews or reports of anybody else having any problems. My brother-in-law got his 82mm Prostaff Spotting Scope and has had no problems as well. I feel that this is more than enough time to give a Nikon Prostaff Spotting Scope Review, as I have used the scope in about every condition imaginable. I have yet to see any leaks, fog, or interior problems.
The fact is that these spotting scopes are made with mass production techniques, over seas, and with inexpensive parts. The thing is though that the parts are of a quality make and design, and they hold up well. The overseas and mass production is what keeps the price so low.
Nikon covers its sport optics with an exceptional warranty and top it off with great customer service. Nikon ProStaff Spotting Scopes are fully covered by a 25 year Nikon No-Fault Repair or Replacement Policy. That's right, Nikon will fix or replace the product regardless of what happens. They do however say they may charge $10 plus return shipping to fix items that are not covered by the warranty. I do not know what would classify as not being covered under the policy, but I would not sweat over $10
Price Comparison
When compared to other spotting scopes in the price range of the Nikon ProStaff, the Nikon is definitely the best. You will have a hard time finding a spotting scope that will beat them as for as their size to weight to quality ratio. Though they may look like they are of good size, in all actuality they compare quite closely, and even better than most all around.
Nikon ProStaff Spotting Scopes: 16-48x68mm VS 20-60x82mm
The right model of the two for your needs will depend on a few factors: price, size, lighting.
After having the chance to review both Nikon Prostaff Spotting Scopes, I have determined the 65mm in by far the best option for me. Though I spend a lot of time glassing from the vehicle, and much of the time in low light conditions, it is not uncommon for me to throw my spotting scope into my backpack and take it with me all day long. For this reason, the 20-48x65mm model is the best for me. If you are willing to accept a little more weight, length, and girth, then the 82mm spotting scope will be your best bet.
Digiscoping With the Nikon ProStaff
I have been incredibly amazed at the quality of video and images I have been able to capture with my average camera and Nikon Prostaff Spotting Scope. I am mostly into deer, elk and other large species of wildlife, but I have also see some great videos and photographs taken of birds with the same setup.
Digiscoping with the Nikon ProStaff Spotting Scope
Here is a video of a Mule Deer Buck I was able to shoot some digiscope footage of using my Nikon ProStaff Spotting Scope from about 400-500 yards away. I did not have camera-spotting scope mount at the time, so the video is a little shaky but still of good quality.
Final Verdict: Nikon ProStaff Spotting Scope Review:
The Verdict is in: The Nikon ProStaff Spotting Scopes are the best value I have found for under $500. You simply wont find anything better than the quality and warranty of these products. For a great starter spotting scope, or for anybody that is on a budget and looking for value, then this will be a hard spotting scope to beat.

The Indianapolis Colts are, NFL wagering-wise, 2-3 SU and 3-2 ATS this season, a record with more ups and downs than Demi Lovato in 2010. There is one streak, however, nay, almost a tradition, that the Colts have, for the last six years, kept alive, and it's their 11-game winning streak over the Tennessee Titans, who have not defeated the Colts since October 30th, 2011. This season's Indianapolis is a shadow of its former self, though; it's more Indy from Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, than Raiders of the Lost Ark or Last Crusade Indy, or even Temple of Doom, for that matter.
- Date: Monday, 16th October
- Time: 8:35 PM
- Venue: Nissan Stadium
Sportsbook NFL gambling odds:
Colts +7 (-105) 48 (-110) +271
Titans -7 (-115) 48 (-110) -335
Head coach Chuck Pagano has, unluckily for the Colts, ruled out Andrew Luck, who returned to practice last week, albeit on a limited basis, for the first time since undergoing shoulder surgery in January, of Monday's game against the Titans. Jacoby Brissett will, as a result of Luck's continued absence, make his fifth start for the team since the Colts acquired him from the Patriots in exchange for wide receiver Phillip Dorsett. Brissett is 2-2 SU but 3-1 ATS, so, all things considered, Indy could still get, if not the straight-up win, at least the against-the-NFL wagering-spread win. The Colts are 27-9 ATS playing a team with a losing record and 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games on Monday, but also 1-4 ATS in their last five after an ATS win, 0-5 SU and ATS in their last five games following a win, and -10-3 ATS in their last 17 games in Week 6.
The #Colts aren't the only team on QB watch. Here's the latest on Andrew Luck and Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota ahead of #INDvsTN pic.twitter.com/HHyoZ79A8P
— Caroline Cann (@ncarolinecann) October 13, 2017
Mariota is out
It's not all bad news, though; Titans starting QB Marcus Mariota might not play Monday because of a hamstring injury. And while gaining a quantum of solace from the fact that Brissett is better, or at the very least, less bad than Matt Cassel, could be a construed as an example of delectatio morosa, the fact remains that the Colts have better shot at making it 12 in a row without Mariota on the other side of the field. Especially because, considering how awful Indy's defense is, the Colts need to score as many points as it humanly possible. The Colts have allowed 31.8 points per game and nearly 400 yards of total offense, worst and second worst in the NFL, and the pass defense has allowed almost 300 yards per game – 30th out of 32 teams.
Indy Streak
Indy has, as it turns out, another little streak going on. The total has gone over on the Colts' last three games, as well as in four of their five regular season games. That is undoubtedly due in no small part to that porous defense mentioned above, though Indy has kept it close, losing by just three points all of its game except the two in which they were blown out, by the Rams and the Seahawks. The NFL wagering total has, moreover, gone over in eight of the Colts' last nine games on the road.

Twelve entrepreneurs rode to the top of Seattle's Smith Tower for Season 2 of GeekWire's Elevator Pitch. One of them kept going beyond that historic skyscraper elevator ride, all the way to victory at the 2019 GeekWire Summit on Wednesday.
The four finalists from four episodes of Elevator Pitch — in which business concepts were pitched in a 32-second elevator ride — emerged from a season featuring ideas related to agriculture, transportation, AI, IoT connectivity and more. They pitched once again, this time on stage in front of hundreds of Summit attendees at the Hyatt Regency. The entrepreneurs included:
- Greg Newbloom, CEO of Membrion, a University of Washington spinout that makes ion membranes for use in fuel cells and water desalination systems.
- Keith McCall, founder and CTO of Pollen Systems, creators of agriculture and drone technology for the wine industry.
- Maria Colacurcio, CEO of Syndio Solutions, creators of a software solution to address discriminatory pay gaps.
- Jinesh Varia, CEO of Industrility, a startup focused on IoT technology solutions for industrial original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
Colacurcio and her Syndio pitch managed to impress our panel of judges once again and take the title this year. Her pitch also won the Geek's Choice award after live voting by the audience in the Summit app.
When asked what the secret to her pitch was, Colacurcio had a nugget of wisdom.
"Pitch to kids," Colacurcio said. "They force you to keep it high and tight and they force you to use words that people understand."
The judges, who greeted and grilled the entrepreneurs at the top of Smith Tower, were on stage again on Wednesday. They included: Flying Fish Partners co-founder Heather Redman; serial entrepreneur and Pioneer Square Labs managing director T.A. McCann; Darrin Siver, and Kyle Quinn, CTO at PACCAR.
As Colacurcio was handed the trophy by Quinn, and thanked on behalf of PACCAR, the show's sponsor, she handed back "Equal Pay" T-shirts to the judges. Quinn invited the CEO to come pitch to PACCAR at a technical center in Mount Vernon, Wash., — and get the chance to drive some big trucks.
The judges also offered final words of advice for all of those who pitched.
"The biggest thing for early stage entrepreneurs is to command people to follow you," Redman said.
"Command, compelling, clear, concise," McCann said of the elements of a good pitch, before adding one more C: "customers."

It's the longest time of light here in the northern hemisphere today. May the light of Grandfather Sun illuminate the shadow corners of our individual and collective psyche. May we face and be with what we see- both our unconscious, fears and our magnificent and courageous open-heartedness. (Some of us find it easier to face the former than the latter :-) ) May we receive the energy we need for our healing individually and for the healing of our shared world. Blessed Solstice. ~Oriah Much thanks for another spectacular photo from Karen Davis at Open Door Dreaming.

Teeth Whitening
|Model Number
Teeth Whitening
Activated Carbon
|Brand Name
D***e –
The boat is big though it comes full a little more than half. You have to be careful because it stains a lot (clothes, splashing when washing your teeth, washbasin, etc.). Using it doesn't taste itself but you feel like teeth are plastic, you hear them "squeak" when you hit them with the brush and the powders these. You have to rinse very well, even better brush your teeth before and after with a little pasta. Before it takes effect and then to remove the remains. I don't really see any major change in color, yes in the cleaning feeling. I'll keep testing. Very fast shipping to spain, two weeks
G***r –
I am glad. I don't know whether it actually bamboo toothbrush, but feel horsehair reminds me my toothbrush bamboo. I am pleasantly zaskoczona activated carbon box.

D***a –
It took a long time, but it came. Happy. Always use the corner, it is not convenient to flash itself. And here everything is ready, plus an excellent brush! Soft soft. You need to clean them first, leave for a couple of minutes, then rinse and clean with ordinary toothpaste. The effect is guaranteed. Not a hollywood smile, but maintaining a pleasant color of teeth will definitely be)) i advise. The main delivery wait.

AATs in both inpatient and outpatient settings have evolved over many years. Reports date back to the late 1700s, when rabbits were used to calm patients at a Quaker institution, and in the mid-1800s, when German clinicians used animals to relax patients with epilepsy to prevent further seizure episodes.2 Florence Nightingale also made substantial discoveries regarding AAT when she observed that small pets helped reduce anxiety and improve recovery in children and adults living in psychiatric institutions.3 AAT reduces the psychological stressors a patient experiences during a hospitalization or clinic visit, ultimately helping to reduce overall systemic stress, which improves catecholamine responses, heart rate, blood pressure, and overall well-being.2 Research has shown that incorporating AAT into many different healthcare settings has a positive impact on patient outcomes.
The American Veterinary Medical Association classifies therapeutic animal-assisted interventions into 3 categories: animal-assisted activities that utilize companion animals, AAT that utilizes therapy animals, and service animal programs that utilize service animals.4 Each category serves a different purpose, and the therapy animals require different levels of training. In this article, the term AAT refers to animal-assisted therapy intended to promote the health and well-being of patients and providers in healthcare facilities. AAT is a scheduled encounter with a certified therapy team consisting of an animal and its handler for the purpose of supporting or improving patients' social, emotional, physical, or cognitive functioning.3 There is growing evidence of physiological and psychosocial benefits of AAT with various populations, including healthcare providers.
Healthcare facilities should be considered a place to heal and get better, but for many people visits for treatments bring a lot of stress and loneliness. This can be problematic because stress responses decrease healing times and patient satisfaction. AAT is a goal-directed intervention in which an animal meeting specific criteria is an integral part of the treatment process and is delivered and/or directed by health or human service providers working within the scope of their profession.5 Complementary and alternative therapies, including AAT, are among some of the techniques designed to create a superior healing environment.
Based on numerous literature reviews, AAT confers a therapeutic purpose in both adult and pediatric inpatient populations, and it provides health benefits to patients with almost any disease process.2 AAT can also be utilized for rehabilitation purposes by encouraging patients to participate more during their rehabilitation visits. For example, Abate and colleagues found that patients were more likely to ambulate with assistance of a therapy canine than with a therapist alone.1
AAT has been shown to have benefits in a variety of settings. It promotes a sense of well-being and has been shown to decrease stress levels in those interacting with an AAT animal. It has also been noted to promote a calming effect on those in stressful situations. Positive interactions can occur as a result of changes in the neurochemical levels in the brain. AAT has been utilized in schools, community organizations, and a variety of healthcare settings. Research has been done showing the benefits of AAT on caregivers and patients, but little has been found showing the benefits of having an AAT dog as part of the oncology staff. The thinking behind developing our program was to provide a safe haven for oncology providers to de-stress and have some downtime while also having some fun.
AAT is a supportive therapy that is currently underutilized in the outpatient oncology setting. AAT has been used to provide support for cancer patients, but a review of the literature indicates that little has been done using AAT to focus on oncology providers. Working in oncology has many rewards, but it can also be challenging and stressful. Oncology providers have a burnout rate of 44.7% related to the emotional exhaustion and volume of patients receiving care.6 The Abramson Cancer Center wanted to develop programs to address staff burnout and boost morale. In 2016, we evaluated our current supportive care programs and developed an AAT program focusing on oncology providers. We hypothesized that this program would help reduce provider stress and promote well-being among our oncology team.
Understanding different ways to provide comfort and decrease stress in healthcare environments for patients and providers is important to healing, preventing caregiver burnout, and improving patient outcomes.
In 2014, Patient & Family Support Services (PFS) at the Abramson Cancer Center took ownership of developing an AAT program. PFS first reviewed and adapted the inpatient AAT policy. A plan was then developed to roll out our program in the outpatient setting, including a naming contest that yielded the program title "De-Stress with Darla Days." One of the nurse navigators trained her dog to become a certified therapy dog (Darla). AAT training involves many hours of instruction and practice in a mock healthcare setting to ensure that the animal is comfortable in the environment. Training is ongoing because our canine companions need to be on good doggie behavior at all times. Darla comes "to work" on specific days each week. Initially, 75 staff completed a survey measuring the impact of Darla's visit on their stress level. Qualitative surveys were given to providers asking their stress levels before and after a visit with Darla and were asked to describe their experience with the therapy dog. Survey results have been very positive, with staff reporting a decrease in stress and an overall feeling of well-being after a visit from Darla. Staff reported previsit stress levels of 4 or 5, with 5 being the highest stress level. Stress levels decreased to 1 or 2 after Darla's visit.
It is amazing to observe the interactions between AAT animals and humans. Animals are very instinctive and can sense when something is wrong or someone needs extra love. For example, one day a staff member received sad news and was visibly upset. Darla picked up on that emotion and immediately went to the staff member to provide extra support and love just when it was needed, and she spent a good part of her day providing comfort to our team member. Another example occurred when Darla was able to provide bereavement support for one of our patients who had recently lost his beloved dog of 14 years. He had not had a chance to grieve, and she helped him start to move through that process by just being present.
Darla checks in every morning when she comes to work to say hello and be sure everyone is doing OK, and to see if anyone needs a little extra attention.
There has been an overwhelming response to our program. Darla has provided a lot of support and boosts morale every time she is here with her bright and engaging personality. Our program has been so well received that we are looking to expand our AAT program in the hope of having a therapy dog on-site every day. We have expanded the program to include patient visitation in the clinic waiting areas. Staff and patients alike often request therapy dog visits, and Darla's schedule is adjusted to meet the needs of both the patients and staff. Our therapy dog has participated in many organization-wide initiatives, such as Take Your Child to Work programs and House Staff Appreciation Week.
In conclusion, current evidence shows that AAT does in fact improve outcomes for patients, providers, and caregivers. Furthermore, research shows that AAT has been linked with both objective and subjective benefits for reducing physiological and psychological symptoms. It is critical to note that AAT should not be the only intervention used in patient care, but it is a beneficial adjunct intervention that nurses and healthcare professionals can utilize. In the future, to fully consider the use of AAT, more research that focuses on the impact of AAT in different patient populations, on different providers, and settings involving larger patient samples is needed. Further research will lead to increased acceptance and availability of this unique integrative therapy.1 As a volunteer service, AAT dogs can provide an effective and cost-free option for enhancing patient care and staff morale. AAT can be a part of any healthcare team and provide many benefits to patients, caregivers, and the oncology staff caring for those patients.

Tips to reduce waste
United States consumers are creating more waste than ever. In the most recent survey taken in 2015, data shows that Americans generate the equivalent of five pounds of trash per person per day.
What can we do?
As responsible land stewards Americans need to get serious about reducing our waste.
The following are nine simple ways every household can reduce their refuse.
* Get to know the rules of recycling.
* Use reusable cloth bags instead of relying on plastic bags.
* Make a meal plan. Only purchase groceries you know you will eat.
* Start relying on reusable containers for proper storage of food to extend its shelf life.
* Learn to compost. Many discarded food items can be composted to create nutrient-rich soil.
* Learn to repair rather than discard.
* Cancel unnecessary mail.
* Stop using disposable plates and wash and reuse plastic silverware, plates and cups.
* Stop buying plastic water bottles.
If we all do our part and follow a few simple guidelines it is possible to reduce the waste that we leave on this planet.

We maintain a register of schools which meet our criteria for the teaching of pupils with Dyslexia (Specific Learning Difficulties).
All schools included in the Register are visited regularly to ensure they continue to meet the criteria set by CReSTeD.
We act as a source of school names which parents can use as their first step towards making a placement decision which will be critical to their child's educational future.
The majority of schools on the register are mainstream schools that are also able to give excellent help to pupils with dyslexia and also – when combined with dyslexia – dyscalculia, dyspraxia, ADD, and pragmatic and semantic language difficulties.
The register provides guidance for parents who are looking for a school for their child with Dyslexia (SpLD) and has become established as a first source of such guidance. For example:
Parents who contact the British Dyslexia Association, Dyslexia Action or the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Centre to enquire about schools will be referred to CReSTeD.
Many local authorities rely on the CReSTeD register – which is published annually – to inform their financial decisions about funding a placement for dyslexia.
Educational professionals look to the CReSTeD Register to inform their decisions and the advice they provide to parents.
CReSTeD registration in Categories DSP, SPS or DU is a criterion for schools taking children of services personnel through the Children's Education Advisory Service (CEAS).
CReSTeD: a recognition going beyond a specialism

Should you consider digital security services for your business
Small and large businesses are realizing the need for taking digital security services and thus they are getting in touch with security agencies for specialized services. As a business, one needs to have a pro-active approach towards the services. It is rightly said that prevention is better than cure and so instead of fighting out fire after it has done significant damage, it is wise to take necessary steps to prevent the occurrence. If the business security service is taken, you can keep the damages to the minimum. Businesses need…Read More

This new collection's most notable feature is the aggrupation of units. Due to the geometry and proportions of each unit, we can make an infinity of different combinations, and play with a large number of possibilities Ashi offers. We will invent new mutable formations, achieving a different environment.
Inspired by the ancient and breathtaking Japanese temples, built over the soil on wooden pillars, the Ashi collection also rises through stylized wood legs (known as "ashi" in Japanese), providing with visual lightness.
The collection is built with noble materials, solid ash wood for legs and structure, and lacquered stainless steel for hydroplanters. Poufs have been upholstered with FR treated fabrics and are available in 4 colors: white, taupe, lead and burgundy. Adding up the variety of tonalities to the 10 units of Ashi, a whole new universe of sensations opens up turning our spaces into unique ones.
This revolutionary collection has been conceptualized by the prestigious Emiliana Design Studio in Barcelona, by Ana Mir and Emili Padrós. With over 20 years of experience, their creations have been in renowned international exhibitions such as MoMa, Musem of Art of Indianapolis or the Museo de Artes Decorativas de Barcelona, and have been recognized with 7 design awards as well in the design field.
Discover all the features of Hobby Flower's new collection on the 2019 catalog, where you will find new arrivals for this season.

ALDI Partnership
For ALDI, the challenge was to share their Good Different story, in an already saturated retail market. Developing a tiered influencer strategy with over 100 unique campaigns, our goal was to drive meaningful connections between real shoppers and the brand. In doing so, our goal was to create a strong, testimonial led social movement, and develop high quality sharable content to kickstart the ALDI digital footprint on key social channels.
Our approach
Our methodology was smart, simple and was all about consistent conversation within 3 tiers of social influencers. We partnered micro influencers and peer-to-peer influencers with product that mirrored their passions: and it was these real, passionate experiences that anchored their review and content as an authentic ALDI advocate. This was strengthened by in-store events and trials to capture new shopping behaviours and brand education. In addition, we also co-created long format content with a few selective passionate influencers across blogs, on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook to further cultivate content and extend their ALDI experience into established and trusted communities.
Pieces of UGC
Unique reach
Engagement rate
Increased Sentiment
Ultimately our partnership with ALDI has delivered a multi faceted, strong and vibrant social footprint. Creating consistent positive conversations and connections online was an achieved goal. We did this by consistently excited fans and followers through creative campaigns, events and community activations, that facilitated brand education.
The ROI for this activity has been 4 x higher than the benchmark for this category in delivering reach, delivered 30% more engagements across activity in comparison to similar campaigns, and generated a superb selection of quality, sharable user-generated content.

Sometimes I play this game with myself when I want to start a new project but know that I have too many UFO's and I really should not begin a new quilt. I make a deal with myself...if I finish something then I can start something new. So on the weekend I bought the batting, backing and binding for my Christmas quilt and plan to quilt it this week. And if I do that, my reward is that I get to start a new mystery by Merete Veian (read about it here). I already have pulled out fabrics from my stash in anticipation of starting. I wonder if I have enough self discipline to actually quilt the Christmas quilt before I start cutting and piecing the mystery?!?!
And I am one to talk!!! I taught a mini quilt class on the weekend and was encouraging the students to finish their monthly projects, even if they don't feel like they are loving the outcome. Even if the blocks are crooked or puckered or less than "perfect". Each finished quilt adds to and/or refines your skills. And mini quilts are the perfect excuses to practise your skills! Here are the adorable house quilts that were finished from the paper piecing class last month. Aren't they great ?!? The students had a choice of making 2" blocks or 1" blocks or to try both sizes. Most started with the 2" block and some brave souls made the 1" blocks too. And each finished project taught the quilter something new that they either will never do again, or that they want to do more of.
Anyway, I better practise what I preach and finish that Christmas quilt before I start a new project...now repeat after me: "I will follow through on my deal with myself"!

Coconut snack brand Ape Snacks sold to private investor
Ape Snacks, which produces coconut-based bites, puffs and curls for a number of multiple retailers, is expected to benefit from increased distribution and innovation support as a result of the deal.
The brand was launched in 2016 by then 21-year-old Zack Nathan, who believed there was lack of appetising healthy snacks on the market, so left university to launch the business.
Ape's range of Coconut Puffs come in three flavours – Lightly Salted, Thai Chilli, and a new vegan Cheese variety. Its Crunchy Coconut Bites range comprise Natural, Sesame, Chia and Chocolate variants.
The Crispy Coconut Curls range, meanwhile, is made up of Salted Chocolate, Lightly Salted, and Pepper & Spice.
'A fantastic journey'
Nathan, who will now run his medical technology start-up full-time, said: "Ape has been a fantastic journey with incredibly rapid growth."
The business has recently started to expand its distribution into Europe, helping revenues grow by more than 600% in two years.
The sale was anticipated to accelerate distribution of Ape's products in the UK and overseas, while providing further support to innovation, according to investment and asset management firm Alantra (formerly Catalyst Corporate Finance), which advised on the sale.
Alantra director Charles Lanceley said Ape Snacks was a "great example" of a UK food brand that had responded to increasing consumer demand for healthy ingredients.
'Significant value for its founder'
"We are delighted to have advised on the sale, which will realise significant value for its founder and provide strong backing for the business as it grows," Lanceley said.
"Investment in healthy products is one of the key trends underpinning food and drink mergers and acquisitions this year.
"While there is no shortage of healthy options available to consumers, the successful brands like Ape all share the crucial trait of combining a clean nutritional profile with amazing taste."
Ape Snacks is currently available in Tesco, Ocado, Sainsbury's, Asda, Holland & Barrett, Co-op, Whole Foods Market, Boots, WHSmith and Planet Organic.
Meanwhile, organic food producer Wessanen has secured a nationwide supermarket listing for its Kallø range of chocolate-topped rice cakes.

One of the highlights of Destiny 2's upcoming fall expansion is Gambit, a competitive PvE and PvP mode that asks two teams of four players to fight each other in a very different fashion. I played a few rounds of Gambit at an Activision event in Los Angeles and am pleased to say that it's very, very good.
Here's the short version: Each team plays in a separate arena, where they fight waves of enemies from a randomly selected alien race. Each enemy drops Motes of Light, which you can bring to your bank and cash in. (You'll lose them if you die.)
By cashing in Motes of Light, you'll do two things: 1) send enemy "Blockers" to prevent your opponent from banking their own Motes; and 2) start the process of summoning a Primeval boss. Whichever team beats the Primeval first wins.
There's one more wrinkle: As you're playing, you can open up portals that let you send a player to go kill players on the opposing team. When there's a player in your own world, you'll get a message saying an invader has appeared, and they will show up with a red glow. Killing enemy players will heal the Primeval they're fighting, slowing down their progress and helping your team.
It's all really fun. Here you can watch me playing through a few rounds (though sadly I didn't get a chance to invade the enemy team):
Gambit launches alongside Destiny 2's Forsaken expansion on September 4.

Forecasters in the US are keeping an eye on a potentially severe weather system along the northern border to Canada as it could end up bringing severe weather to the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes later this week. On Wednesday, there's a chance that severe thunderstorms could erupt along the northern ridge of the Rocky Mountains as well as in New England where high wind and large damaging hail could occur.
On Thursday, forecasters are saying that some significantly severe thunderstorms could break out across portions of the Great Lakes and Northeast that could carry through into the upcoming weekend. This is because a cold front and an upper level dip in the jet stream is going to slice through the very hot and humid air over those portions of the country. There could be a few very powerful thunderstorms developing in those areas that bring with them damaging high wind gusts over the next few days as the system takes shape.
Further west, forecasters are saying that severe thunderstorms are possible across portions of the Northwest Wednesday afternoon. In locations such as Butte, Montana, some of these storms could produce large hail, wind gusts of over 60 miles per hour and brief episodes of very heavy rain along with cloud-to-ground lightening. If that type of weather does occur, it could very well damage buildings, crops and vehicles and even start fires due to lightening strikes.
For folks living in the East, there may be some relief in sight this coming weekend from the suffocating heat and humidity. The heat wave that is baking the eastern portion of the United States and which stretches across an area from the Windy City to the Big Apple, may finally come to an end to provide relief to tens of millions of Americans. However, in its place there could be thunder, high gusting winds and lightening as forecasters are calling for thunderstorms behind the heat wave.
It's likely that the Chicago and Detroit areas will be hit with some pretty severe weather on Friday. Around 86 million people live in the path of the severe weather that's heading to the Midwest toward the end of the work week and into the weekend. The Storm Prediction Center said Wednesday that there's a 30 percent chance of severe storms from Chicago to New York on Friday and then from Cincinnati to New England on Saturday.

Today has been a long day.
Kellan swore 3 times, he said: oh fuck, piss off and it's all bollocks (just incase you were wondering what he said) he was told off, then he carried on to tell me that Daddy said Oh fuck when he hurt his finger in the garage yesterday. 🤦🏼♀.
We (..I) decided sort the toy room and thought it would be nice to do it together. No. The kids were throwing stuff in the bin and started getting attached to toys they hasn't played with in months; pointless. Anyway, i done it.
My sister in law and my nieces and nephews came over. Kids go into overdrive – it was mental. Treated the kids to dominos while they were watching boss baby. Peace and quiet for 20 minutes.
After a while the kids were refuelled on junk we heard bang bang scream bang. Grayson had slid down the stairs too fast on his bum, scared himself, screamed then sobbed. After a mummy cuddle he then spent the next 10 minutes explaining to me and Billie in his own language about how he went down the stairs.
By 7pm the kids have gone into full blown carnage mode. My work phone was ringing non stop, the kids were screaming, my brother and his girls friend arrived kids went from 100 to 250 in seconds.
Anyway, kids are asleep, just fought with the dog to get his poxy ear drops in. After everyone went, I walked over to my favourite cupboard. The wine cupboard. I was getting excited about the thought of a large glass of wine, sitting in my living room all relaxed. I opened the cupboard and stared. Stared so fucking hard thinking my eyes were playing tricks on me. There was no wine. Nada.
So here I am sitting at my kitchen table with a manky bottle of Pepsi. Winning.

Earlier this year we started our reselling business, and we have been asked how we choose what to buy to sell on eBay or elsewhere. We don't have a particular niche when it comes to buying items for eBay, and we tend to buy a wide range of products. Whilst Tony and I know certain products well, we have also made a lot of purchases that are completely out of our comfort zone.
Our reselling business is still small, and very much part time, but we have learned a lot along the way. Have you seen our reselling reports to keep up with how we're doing?
Personal knowledge or gut instinct to decide what to buy to sell on eBay
This one is most important when it comes to choosing items to buy to resell on eBay or Amazon – our own knowledge or a gut reaction. There are certain things that Tony and I just know inside and out. I know plus sized clothes and Instagram trends, whereas Tony knows Warhammer and other "nerdy" things.
Whether it is because of your hobby, or because your children collect a particular toy, there is always something that you will know pretty well.
That's before you get to your gut instinct. If an item of clothing feels like it is really great quality, or you just have a feeling, you will be surprised at how often you are right! And let's face it, you are often buying something under £5, so it isn't a massive hit if your gut instinct is wrong.
Check out eBay sold listings to decide what to buy to sell on eBay
This is an easy way to decide what to buy to sell on eBay. We simply search eBay for an item that we are interested in buying, and then we change the settings to search for "sold" listings.
Using this information, we can decide what to buy to sell on eBay.
If an item has sold yesterday, and the day before, and the day before…and so on and so on, that tells us that it is a popular item. Even if we are not doubling my money as profit, we know it won't sit around for long.
If an item has only sold once in the past 6 months, but we'll be making 10 times the purchase cost back as profit (after fees and postage costs are deducted) we can then go on to look at the price of the item and decide if it is worth buying. If it is a high priced item, can we afford to be down that amount of money for a few months, but then make a bigger profit?
Related post:
Scan using the Amazon seller app
If you are an Amazon seller then you definitely want to download the Amazon seller app onto your phone. You will need to sign in, but once you have, you have access to a really great tool. The scanner on the Amazon seller app allows you to scan in barcodes or even front covers of items like books, CDs and games. Then you will be shown how much it is selling for.
The app can be a little slow, so if you are a serious Amazon seller then you might consider paying for a different premium app that will give you a lot more information, but for our level of trade, the free Amazon seller app is perfect. You can also use an Amazon seller tool to help source valuable products for reselling.
Watch YouTube videos
Watching other resellers on YouTube is a great way to decide what to buy to sell on eBay.
The reselling community on YouTube is great, and even just listening to hauls or sales reports gives us an idea of what to buy.
We will often pop a YouTube video on in the background whilst we are cooking, or if I'm doing my make up or just working away.
The reselling community on Instagram is absolutely amazing – it is definitely my favourite (even over YouTube). From seeing what people are picking up, to the mess they make whilst listing, I just love it.
Here are some of my favourite reselling Instagrammers:
