On the Road Again…our annual migration to Northern Arizona!
|All ready to Go!
Hay it's me Sshameless++ and am I ever a proud Papa!
Let me start with what a very lucky family we are. How much better does it get than winters spent in Arizona's Valley of the Sun and summers at 7,000 feet, surrounded by the world's largest stand of Ponderosa Pines in Arizona's northland. And to get there, it's a 3-hour trailer ride due north.
Just how does this all happen you might ask?
It's a coordination of people, trailers, talents and all it takes to care for us. In other words, our focus is moving north and our humans...Lisa, Jerry and Daniel, have one goal in mind: that we all arrive safely.
So, what does it look like you might ask?
Well, we have three trailers of horses.
I, Sshameless++ ride in our SKY Ranch 3-horse trailer that has the dividers removed so I have lots of room to relax and spread out. I'm 16.0 hands and like to have my space. Lisa and our Siberian Horse Nanuk drive me behind a Ford King Ranch Pick Up.
|America calling to stable mates who are loading
|Lisa and Daniel sorting the herd
As part of our caravan north, our friend, and hauler, Cody Wilson brings two trailers: a 6-horse trailer for Morning Miste, Marrakkesh, Emenence, Starz Afire, Ssinssation and Sscandalouss.
Then there's the nursery trailer. Cody takes his 4-horse trailer and converts it to two big stalls so Hey Shooting Star and her filly Sshampagne Kisses, and Hey Miste America and her filly Sseduction can ride in privacy and comfort on their journey to the northland.
In preparation for this anticipated day, our humans spend days packing everything up; saddles, blankets, supplements and supplies. Through it all, there's always the undercurrent of concern; will everyone load on their appointed trailers safely, will everyone quietly ride the 150 miles north, then unload safely once we reach our destination.
And there is no doubt; concerns hit an even more intense level when there are babies heading north for the first time.
On the big day, the adults load first and thankfully without incident. Six horses who knew what the plan was. All hopped on the trailers quickly, without concern, without a "discussion"....the northlands awaited; all anticipated lots of free time in acres of pasture, a summer of relaxation!
Next, it was time for my babies....
Well, that's when I, as a Papa, could not be prouder. Lisa and Daniel haltered Star and Sshampagne first. Off they went, heading to the trailer, a door to the unknown. The "baby trailer" was carefully positioned so the step up was as low as possible, the shadows soft, keeping the "spooks" at bay. Sshampagne hopped on the trailer like she'd been doing it for years, of course right behind her, her mama Star followed without hesitation, the wonderful mother she is.
|Sseduction and America heading to trailer
|Sseduction and America on final approach
Quickly, Daniel and Lisa returned to the round pen to retrieve America and Sseduction. Once again, not a hesitation....Sseduction jumped aboard, followed by her mom America. The humans all exclaimed, "Could this really have taken just five minutes to load four horses, and two foals at that!"
|In Sseduction goes!
|Star and Sshampagne ready to go
|Star and Sshampagne in round pen
|Star and Sshampagne head to trailer
|Star and Sshampagne on final approach
|Sshampagne sees trailer
|Sshampagne sees trailer
|Sshampagne takes big step
Then it was my turn to officially close the Scottsdale barn for the season and climb aboard my personal 3-horse, converted luxury coach for just me. I know the drill so the faster I'm aboard, the faster we head out!
|Sshameless asks where everyone went
|Sshameless Trailer enroute
Jerry loaded Nanuk in the truck. Lisa did one final walk around and check of the trailer and truck. In just moments, off we headed....there we all were, on the road again, amidst the nickers and whinnies of 11 very happy horses, with 40 acres of pastures awaiting us!
|All three trailers on I-17 enroute to SKY Ranch
The first trailer ride is certainly a major milestone for my girls; I'm happy to report we all arrived safely, happy and ready for a summer of fun; full of lots of experiences and lessons for the youngsters.
Ssincerely PROUD PAPA of TWO Beautiful Fillies!

Once upon a time, in the country where I grew up, a soldier of a foreign army tried to intimidate a girl in a car by staring at her down the barrel of his semi-automatic rifle as they were stopped at traffic lights. There was no reason for him to do this, except to be obviously threatening. The girl held the soldier's stare – she was determined not to show fear – for what seemed like a day and a night until the jeep in which he was travelling turned off up another street.
That girl was me.
I never told anyone about this until many years later. Anything could have happened, people exclaimed in righteous anger. What if the jeep had jolted and the rifle had gone off? They had so many questions and I had no answers. What if, I suggested, he'd just wanted to fire his gun, maybe shoot someone? No, they said, no way. If you think that would never, could never happen, you should ask Majella, she knows all about it.
Majella was another girl, just an ordinary girl like me, from the same land where evil reigned. We did not know one another and we could never have known one another, for many reasons, but the truth is time and space separated us. I don't know what it was but something tied me to Majella and tied me forever, because years later I'm still thinking of her.
Take a walk with me, Majella, down the country road to the church. It's Sunday, it's hot and there are glorious white blue August skies. The countryside is dreaming in peaceful greens and blues and yellows. The pollen is high, the air heavy with wheat. Look, watch the heat shimmer on the road ahead, beckoning, leading the dance.
Majella's in the middle, she leans back a little to wave to her father who's working in the churchyard. He waves back at us and we start humming, what's the name of that song that's Number One? None of us can remember, but Majella sings it anyway and we laugh cause she's out of tune.
Light travels at high velocity; in half a heartbeat it hits Majella hard in the back and blooms out her front, rose red. While the two bullets are already mushrooming inside her, the sound splits the air around us in half. Majella's father hurdles the fence and cradles her, there on the blistering tarmac. The summer air shrouds us in oppression.
Bleeding, dying, the blood runs out of her Sunday dress and the birds stop singing. She is 12 years old.
It could have been me, Majella, but instead it was you.
Majella O'Hare was shot and killed by a British paratrooper in Co.Armagh, Northern Ireland in August 1976. The soldier claimed he had seen an IRA sniper but witnesses told a different story. At his trial, Majella's mother asked him why he had shot her daughter and he just shrugged. He was found not guilty by a judge who always ruled in the Army's favor. The judge was subsequently murdered by the IRA. The O'Hare family received an apology from the British Government in 2011 in which they amended the paratrooper's testimony saying his version of events was "unlikely".

We all know how to create objects of any class. Right?? Simplest is using new keyword. In this post, I will list down all other approaches in my knowledge.
- Using Class.forName()
- ClassLoader loadClass()
- Using clone()
- Deserialization
- Using reflection
Note: I am writing pseudo code only. For building complete fully working sample code, please read about related feature.
Using newInstance method of Class class
Class ref = Class.forName("DemoClass"); DemoClass obj = (DemoClass) ref.newInstance();
Class.forName() loads the class in memory. To create an instance of this class, we need to use newInstance().
Using class loader's loadClass()
Just like above mechanism, class loader's loadClass() method does the same thing.
Using clone() of java.lang.Object
This is also a way to have a new independent instance of a class.
NewClass obj = new NewClass(); NewClass obj2 = (NewClass) obj.clone();
Using Object serialization and deserialization
If you have gone through this article, you can understand that serialization and de-serialization is also a way to have another instance of a class in system.
ObjectInputStream objStream = new ObjectInputStream(inputStream); NewClass obj = (NewClass ) inStream.readObject();
Using Reflection
This is also a popular way to create new instances in most of available frameworks.
constructor.newInstance(); or class.newInstance();
If you think I am missing any other possible way, please let me know.
Happy Learning !!

Faith Formation Team
Plumb Lines
- Relationships and connections to God and each other are fundamentally important to our growth as Christians.
- Home is the primary environment for developing faith.
- Equip all to have faith as a part of life 24/7.
- Equip all adults to be spiritual leaders to children, neighbors, co-workers, etc. by providing resources (people, books, websites, classes, etc.).
- Questions are welcomed and encouraged as a way of growing our faith.
- Inter-generational bridges are vital to establish trust and close relationships.
About the Program
Welcome to the Christian Education/Spiritual Formation page! This area of ministry focuses on the spiritual development of our congregation- children, youth, adults, and families. We offer Sunday School during the worship hour for children from preschool through Grade 5. This is a time of fun and learning about the Bible and God's plans for us.
Currently we are using the "Growing in Grace" curriculum . It is an engaging lesson each week for the children. We also have a "Kids Khoir" for children in elementary school that practices each Sunday morning from 9:45-10:15. The children learn various songs and styles of worship music, including some African drumming!
For youth in junior and senior high, we have youth group meetings each Sunday afternoon. Our youth plan many activities, community service and an annual mission trip. There are many exciting things going on with this great group, please see the YOUTH page.
For adults, we are focusing on small groups to encourage us to grow and develop our faith and our relationships with God and each other. We have two distinct small groups that meet once a month in different member's home. One group meets on Tuesday and the other group meets on Friday evenings.
Looking forward, we will also working on developing our family ministry. We believe that faith is more than just a "Sunday thing", and that parents and other adults are the primary source of learning about faith for children. Part of our mission is to empower parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and others to encourage children on their faith journey. Watch this space for opportunities to join us during the year!
We hope you will join us for all of the wonderful things that are happening here at RPC!

2017 Global Barite Market Report is a professional and in-depth research report on the world's major regional market conditions of the Barite Market, focusing on the main regions and the main countries (U.S., Canada, Germany, UK, France, Spain, Italy, China, India, Japan, Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa & GCC).
Rapidly growing oil & gas industry primarily in the U.S. owing to excess availability of shale reserves along with changing industry dynamics to increase dependency on alternative energy sources has pushed barite market size in the past few years.
This is prospective to continue owing to strong need to meet energy demand in several industries including transportation, power,. which will subsequently generate ample growth avenues for Barite Market size by 2024.In addition, positive growth indicators in the pharmaceuticals industry primarily in Asia Pacific will complement barite market size by 2024, owing to improving healthcare standards and rising geriatric population. This is due to widespread product applications in diagnosis and as fillers in plasters.
Barite Market size is expected to surpass USD 4.1 billion by 2024; according to a new research report.
Request a Sample Copy of Global Barite Market Research Report @ www.marketstudyreport.com/request-…utm_source=WAT-SP
Sturdy growth in paints & coatings industry owing to rapid industrialization and urbanization in Asia Pacific will propel barite market size by 2024. White & off-white barite is majorly used to prepare pigments in the paints industry.
Rapidly growing construction industry primarily in China and India due to mounting population and improving socio-economic factors will be driving paints & coatings demand across end user business such as automobile.
Inadequate geographical barite occurrence along with high transportation cost may hinder barite market size by 2024. Furthermore, easy accessibility to existing alternatives including hematite, ilmenite,.
which are also used as weighing agent in the energy sector is likely to hamper barite market size by 2024.
Upto grade 3.9 barite market size is probable to attain CAGR over 3% by 2024. It is lower grade and is formed by 50/50 ratio of product and other alternative weighing material such as ilmenite and hematite.
Grade 4.2 is projected to grow at a CAGR near to 4% by 2024, as it is widely used in the oil & drilling industry owing to its excellent rheological properties, which makes it desirable as a weighing agent. They are premium quality grades and are found beneath the earth surface.
However, grade 4.2 is gradually being replaced by grade 4.1 in the oil & drilling industry as it possesses similar attributes and is cost effective compared to grade 4.2. This replacement is also due to increasing transportation issues related with grade 4.2.
Enquire on Global Barite Market Research Report @ www.marketstudyreport.com/check-fo…utm_source=SPR-SP
Grey barite market size is estimated to attain CAGR of over 4% owing to its extensive application in oil & drilling industry by 2024. It helps in cooling the drill bit and subsequently suspend the rock bits by increasing the hydrostatic pressure which compensates for high-pressure zones experienced during drilling.
White & off-white barite grades will experience average industry growth as it is used in paints & coating, cosmetics and rubber applications.
Rising population in the Asia Pacific along with progressive consumer lifestyles is driving automobile industry which in turn will propel rubber industry over the projected timespan. This tendency is expected to make noteworthy contribution to rubber & plastics segment of barite market size by 2024.
Furthermore, rapid pace of oil & drilling industry due to the U.S. shale boom will also contribute towards the product market size by 2024.
North America is likely to witness CAGR of over 4.5% over the projected time spell.
Key industry share contributors of barite market size are Spectrum Chemical Mfg. Corp., New Riverside Ochre, Halliburton, Excalibar Minerals, Ashapura Group of Industries, Barium & Chemicals, Inc and Deutsche Baryt Industries.

Please check their operating hours for dinner and make a booking where necessary before travelling, especially on public holidays, Sundays and early in the week.
BBQ facilities are also available at the retreat if you wish to bring your own food (plates and cutlery included with the BBQ facilities). Dine under the millions of stars in our night sky or enjoy the brilliance of a full moon!
You can't go past Highland Traders or The House of Kalu Babu in Esk for an interesting array of gifts from around the world.

Once completed, it will be the one of the longest rail trails in Australia.

Smythesdale Business, Health and Community Hub
Mr HOWARD (Ballarat East)— I was pleased to travel to Smythesdale last week and visit The Well, not a hole in the ground but an innovative business, health and community hub opened in 2008 as a $1.4 million project undertaken by Golden Plains Shire Council with $150 000 in funding from the former government. This has clearly been a very successful project. Ballarat Community Health provides a GP clinic four days per week. Other medical services are also provided, and a commercial pharmacy operates on site. Several other spaces are taken up by community groups, including the local historical society, and many local events, including a walking group, operate out of this hub.
Due to the success of the hub, Golden Plains Shire Council placed it on its list for federal funding in round 5 of the Regional Development Australia grants and was expecting to attract $850 000 to further extend and enhance The Well.
However, with the election of the Abbott government round 5 funding grants have been cancelled. Golden Plains Shire Council and the Smythesdale community will now look elsewhere for funding support, and I hope that we can secure state funding to support this project.

With contributions from 19 Australians. Melbourne University Press 0-522-85136-3 $29.95 Paperback www.mup.com.au MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY PUBLISHING It's the toughest question anyone can ask me and lately everyone's been at it. Books Alive. The ABC. Even gr is contributing to my dilemma! I'm talk- ing about nominating your favourite book (or three!) and I'm ready to call it quits. For me books are an intimate, deli- cious, secret touchstone to every stage of your life. And to choose a favourite, or single out a few, might shatter the intricate patter n of things that make me who I am today. Where do you even begin? Say you jumped right past those early picture books (Little Black, a Pony; Robert the Rose Horse) and went straight to your first favourite chapter book (hardback, dark smoky- blue cover, title long forgotten) about a girl called Tess who lived in a turret. Ever since I've coveted houses with that particular architectural feature (and there are lots in Sydney) imagin- ing the mystery and romance that will be mine when I finally live in such a dwelling. And for realising dreams I could add the obvious (Swimming the Shane Gould Way) but instead I'd suggest my first Trixie Belden. Number twelve for reasons only the universe can fathom. And the only one set in New York. The excitement and danger Trixie felt as she was chased all over Manhattan by devious inter national smugglers before delivering them into the hands of the good officers of the NYPD stayed with me until I went to live there in my twenties and not once did that great city let me down. So you can see my dilemma. I'm not yet a teenager. I haven't counted my favourite of the books Mum gave me every Christmas (My Brilliant Career) with a long explanation as to her choice. Or the first Latin American you meet (The House of Spirits) and the rush that followed (One Hundred Years of Solitude, Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter) leaving everything else looking just so plain. Or the way Virginia Woolf (A Room of One's Own) sent you to the jour nal in an attempt to imitate. And the dark, twisted tunnel that had been what you wanted to do with your life was blinding and bright. Or the first book your husband gave you (The Man Who Fell in Love with the Moon) which would never have been on your radar but was so unusual and so fabulous that you fall in love with him even more. So you see I'm a failure and I'm happy to admit it. Nothing left to do but go and read to my son (One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish) and let the whole sor ry cycle begin again. BOOK CHAT with Lisa Forrest Top 3 Reads Many of you have responded to the challenge of nominating your 3 favourite reads. Here are just some more to come! Sue Terry Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen It's the book I have read more often than any other. It has the perfect hero and heroine, both a little flawed but both inspiring in their integ- rity and humanity. A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry Its message that 'the secret of survival is to embrace change and adapt' is played out by characters who wrench your guts as they survive against unbelievable odds. The Newspaper of Claremont Street by Elizabeth Jolley Jolley's Austenesque wit and black humour is nowhere more evident than in her character, Weekly the cleaner. Elizabeth Wright Atonement Ian McEwan I enjoyed this book because it was cleverly written and had a different approach. It was also compulsive reading. I'm Not Scared Niccolo Ammaniti A delightful and descriptively written story. It was both poignant and thought provoking. The Kite Runner Khaled Hosseini A beautiful, but sad story. It enlightened me to a country as it once was. Rebecca Court Choosing just 3 books is always hard but I would go for My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell, I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith and The Family at One End Street by Eve Garnett. Having read these as a child growing up in England in a fairly isolated fashion, with not much to distract me, the fortnightly visits to the library were a big treat and the young peo- ple and their families, whom I encountered in these books, have remained friends for life.

1. Not submit any posts to social news sites unless it is actually 'news'. After doing some research, I found that digg does not like random thoughts being paraded around on digg. Here are a couple comments by danhuard (digg moderator):
"STOP submitting stories like this. Digg IS NOT a message board, stop treating it as such. You submit technology and science news content only. Don't use the submission feature as your personal megaphone. As much as you hate exclamation points you're equally cluttering up th digg queue. Please think about your actions before acting on them. You're identifying a very petty problem by creating a much larger one. Think..."
2. Research, research, research. One things that news sites do is research to be sure what they are saying is accurate. Sure some people may disagree, but there is generally some sort of editorial wall before something can be published. Many Blogs do not have this because they generally 'repurpose' news and throw a link to the people that actually did research. Again I will use a comment by Dan Huard to prove digg does not like this:
"submissions like these are exactly why it's so difficult to follow stories completely through the /diggall queue to the homepage.stop treating digg like a message board...it's science and technology news not "whatever comes to my thought process gets submitted."contact digg at email@example.com"
"If you're going to call digg out, you've gotta come in with more credibility3. Change my domain from insidesocialnews.blogspot.com to www.insidesocialnews.com. Many people see the blogspot tag and immediately consider it blogspam regardless of its content value.
than this."
4. Keep it ad/adsense free until I have something worth getting paid for to say. Many people put ads up in hope of making a quick buck or paying for hosting or something. As of right now blogger pays for my hosting so there is no need to try and recooperate costs.
Lastly, here is a comment by dan that kind of sums up their feeling on blogs. I think it is relevant to the topic. An please don't submit this to digg.
"After reading this I still don't see how blogs add any value to digg. The people who actually get off their asses and do actual news gathering and reporting should be credited. Generally, blog sites even try to hide the original source and only link internally thereafter. The obvious ones are the Weblogs, Inc. guys (engadget, joystiq, blogging baby, etc.)
Maybe I should retract what I said, "After reading this I still don't see how blogs add any value to digg." There IS a value for blogging (different perspectives, sometimes addtional expert advice, etc.) but bloggers have abused their power too much. It's too easy to submit anything you want. And EVERYBODY wants a few extra bucks from Google Ads so there is the problem, imo.
On another note, digg users still don't understand the administrative toolset digg provides. People complain about how bad the stories are but they don't 'report' the story. The community needs to realize that if you want digg a certain way, YOU have the power to change it. YOU are the admins. It's like voting for our president. You can't complain how bad of a job he's doing if you didn't vote!"

The Value of Art is a recent partnership project between two SE1 organisations, Blackfriars Settlement and Tate Modern. Q website has been developed through discussions and practical sessions to consider issues about art and the local area.
The work and the viewpoints expressed on the Value of Art website www.valueart.org are on display in the Clore Education Centre at Tate Modern until 29 September.
Also included in the exhibition are details of another project called Reconfiguring your Landscape. This was an eight-week project in Summer 2002 – members of the Blackfriars community produced creative works on computers around notions of identity, mapping, geography, imaginary and real landscape, sense of place and history.
Kathy Prendergast's 'Lost', a recent acquisition to Tate Modern's collection, initially inspired the works. Using ICT skills, digital imaging and other creative tools, members of the community explored the above ideas and their own thoughts. The work was then transferred to UK Online's website www.funit.org

"Can I blog about this?"
"Sure, but Americans eat it with everything! It's like dwenjang!"
Well, I asked Good Man to make a sandwich for me. He did.
He put turkey, ham, mustard, and cheese between two slices of whole wheat bread. When I picked it up, one piece of bread felt wet. "Why is this wet?"
"It's maple syrup."
I stared at him. "What?"
"Yeah, maple syrup."
I started laughing. "Why in the world did you put maple syrup on my sandwich?"
"Because Americans love maple syrup."
"You've lived in America for over a year. Have you ever had a sandwich with maple syrup on it? We only eat maple syrup a few times a month, with pancakes! Ewww. Ewww. Ewww. Did you only put it on this piece of bread?"
"Yeah," Good Man said. I opened the fridge to get a fresh piece of bread as Good Man kept talking, "You eat maple syrup with pancakes, and pancakes and bread are made of wheat, right? And you dip your bacon in it, and bacon is made of pig, just like ham. And sometimes we even get turkey bacon, and there is turkey on the sandwich."
"You don't put maple syrup on a sandwich!"
"Well, I will eat mine like this," he said. "It's better than carrot with peanut butter!" I once tried to give him a carrot stick dipped in peanut butter and he said I wasn't respecting the carrot.
Good Man fake pouted over the fact that I wouldn't eat his ham, turkey, cheese, mustard and maple syrup sandwich. I will eat pickle and peanut butter sandwiches (yummmy) but I can't stomach maple syrup sandwiches…

As I posted back in May 2014 when it was first launched, Oscilab – from developer 2beat – brings a very interesting, novel, and very intuitive approach to the creation of electronic music. The interface looks fabulous and the app provides a combination of electronic-style sounds based upon modelled analog synthesis, samples and drum sounds.
Indeed, I enjoyed working with Oscilab so much that it was a shoe-in for my personal 'top 10 new music apps released in 2014' list back in January 2015. If you are a fan of electronic music production and have not given Oscilab a try as yet then do take a look; and at UK£7.99/US$9.99, it packs a punch well above its weight (price).
With Audiobus support added in the v.1.1.0 update, the much awaited MIDI sync in v.1.3.0 and, the excellent addition of MIDI out in v.1.5.5 in mid-2015, Oscilab is great fun to work with and very capable of producing some excellent results. The interface is slick and, while have a bit of musical background knowledge will certainly help, this is also an app that producers without traditional instrument skills can also get a lot out of.
The app's name is derived from the various 'virtual' oscilloscope displays you get of the oscillator waveforms and which you can interact with and adjust via the touchscreen. Essentially, Oscilab provides you with six channels of sound with four of these based on the synth/sample engine and two dedicated to drums/percussion.
The various preset sounds are very good indeed and, with the new MIDI out feature, you can also use Oscilab's intuative pattern-based sequencing to drive other iOS synths or drum machines. The way that you create your own sounds or modify existing sounds makes great use of the oscilloscope-style views and your ability to draw waveforms within them. This is both fun and pretty painless; just tap, drag and pinch to tweak settings for the frequency, filter, amplifier and pan.
Anyway, the app has remained a very firm personal favourite of mine and, if I had to place it somewhere as an all-in-one EDM toolkit, it sits firmly between an app like Figure (super-simple) and Gadget (not so simple but fully featured). However, as the most recent update was back in September 2015, while it has continued to work well for me under iOS10, I had begun to wonder whether 2beat had put the project to bed. Today, therefore, it was a very pleasant surprise to see v.1.5.8 appear on the App Store – yay!
The update doesn't bring any new features and the only comment is that a fix has been applied for the file menu system under iOS10 (although I suspect and loose iOS10 ends have been tided up also) but, if that means I can get another 12 months or so of use out of a favourite app then that's fine with me. That's not to say it would be great to see Oscilab join the ranks of the Ableton Link and AU ready…. but this is still a very cool music making tool.
Oscilab is well worth exploring if you are a fan of electronic dance music. I think the workflow is great and the sounds very engaging…. The real strength is the very creative process by which you generate your sequence patterns as it is a beautifully executed bit of touchscreen design… and with MIDI out, you can send those pattern to another synth or a sequencer if you want to take your Oscilab ideas onwards to a wider project. Anyway, watch the video below and then hit the download button to find out more. Highly recommended app for those with an electronic bent and, if you have not yet given it a go, well worth a look.

Bulwark Coverings
Maintaining the highest levels of health and safety in a sensitive workplace is always important. It's crucial for workers to wear the right clothing at all times, which is why high-quality coverings are essential. When it comes to buying Bulwark coverings from our uniform store, we have a range of options available to you to ensure that you'll make the right choice.
Considerations for Buying Safety Work Coverings
When you want the best in safety and protection when you buy a covering or lab coat, you should consider a popular brand such as Bulwark. There are many makes out there. Some purport to be high quality, yet they will compromise your safety when handling dangerous biohazard tasks. However, it doesn't mean that you cannot find the right safety covering, for instance, you can opt for Bulwark coverings since they have been reviewed and trusted for their reliability and comfort. When you evaluate options, check what other customers have to say about the product or the retailer.
It's crucial to check the reviews from actual users when choosing personal protective equipment. In the case of safety coverings, you should look at both the good and bad testimonials. If you don't trust reviews, it's okay to consult experts in the same industry as you. Remember, you need to sample different recommendations and not just what one entity has to say about the reliability of these garments.
The price of the coverings or lab outerwear you buy is crucial. Many people tend to go with the cheaper options to save money. However, you need to take time and think about your safety. There is a need to spend more and have an assurance that you have the best Bulwark coverings even if they cost more. Also, buying quality safety garments mean you don't have to keep replacing them. Low-quality fabrics and constructions can lead to compromised health, should an incident occur inside a sensitive lab.
Choosing the Right coverings
When you start searching for safety coverings, the options are likely to overwhelm you. You will find many designs, style, and features. The best though is one that is perfectly matched to the job in hand. If you want to enjoy utmost safety, you should look out for garments that come with tight cuffs that are either elastic or knitted. In case you need to remove or wear the covering, you need to ensure that it's fitted with a snap closure instead of cumbersome buttons.
It's important to check the work environment and the risks involved before you choose a protective covering. For instance, if there is a high risk from flammable materials in use, you should invest in a coat that has high flame resistance. If possible, such coats should be easy to identify and they should have passed the required regulations or certification. Other considerations to check include getting the right fit without compromising overall comfort.
Safety coverings from Bulwark are ideal for sensitive lab or industrial tasks. However, you need to ensure that you have all the important info regarding quality lab coverings. If you get the fabrics wrong, you not only expose you or other workers to hazards, but you will have gone against recommended requirements.
Arguably, not all coverings will work for every lab setting. Even though some coats such as those made with poly-cotton blends can handle different situations, others require the use of disposable coats to avoid contamination. If you want to insure yourself against fires, choosing coverings with special Nomex treatments will suffice. Nomex treated coverings or coats are ideal if you are working with highly flammable liquids or materials. If you are looking to safeguard from spills or chemical splashes, choose rubber layering under the covering. You can also choose water repellent fabrics.
Sizing Bulwark Coverings
When sizing bulwark coverings, there are several measurement factors to be considered. Also, you need to check whether comfort and functionality are taken care of. When you wear a well fitting covering, you will operate your duties confidently. Ill fitting coats or coverings can lead to accidents. Baggy coverings may compromise your comfort and protection from spills and unexpected reactions.
Different people have varied sizes and body types. This means that not all coats will fit everyone or provide the same level of safety. Height is a major factor when determining the type of covering to choose. You won't do well with a short lab coat if you are tall. If you are taller than what is provided by the manufacturer, you can choose to customize the typical coat to accommodate the length on the knees and cuffs.
Additional features like pockets on the coverings or lab coats make work easier. You should choose the right number of outer or inner pockets, but don't overstuff them. If you do, you hamper mobility and you may end up feeling uncomfortable. If you must carry around your tools, choose a covering that is slightly bigger than your average fit to create room for the stuff you carry.
Our Bulwark Coverings
At UniformsInStock, we have a splendid collection of Bulwark coverings for different work environments. We have different designs and styles that marshal your protection when handling hazardous tasks. You can opt for flame, water and stain resistant coverings made from enduring fabric blends.
We have different sizes for men and women. You can choose to bolster your safety by choosing the Bulwark's Men's Concealed Snap-Front Lab Coat - Flame Resistant, or you can avoid contamination by selecting the Chemical Splash Disposable Flame-Resistant Coverall. Our products have a broad range of sizes and you can choose between different colors to suit your preference and regulations. Talk to us today and let our experts help you make the best choice!

I noticed that many older Chinese people hold hands behind their back.
Though I can not explain this particular gesture... Where does it come from? It probably dates back from hundred of year...
This man keeps both hands behind his back.
Many Chinese people do this. It is weird that in France many people from the countryside used to hold their hands the exact same way!
Now it is also interesting to see how this old woman holds one hand in her back while holding her cane in the other!
Noblemen in France in old time France used to do the same! Many would also wear high heels and use a cane!

Marco Rubio had his big moment Monday and he seized it. Hard and effectively.
He delivered a polished, powerful speech at Miami's Freedom Tower that struck a theme that will be the cornerstone of his campaign: generational change to return America to past greatness.
"Now the time has come," Rubio said, "for our generation to lead the way toward a new American century." Don't know about an entire century, but if you want another "Morning in America," Rubio may be your man.
There is something Reaganesque about Rubio — he's cheery, attractive, good natured, comfortable in front of a crowd or a camera and believes that God has touched America and made it exceptional. Like Reagan, he's also optimistic about the future, despite the legion of societal problems he enumerates, most of them the doing of left-leaning Democrats.
The Obama administration and, by implication, Hillary Clinton have "appeased our enemies, betrayed our friends and allowed defense spending to dwindle." Rubio's foreign policy stand is hawkish, muscular and aggressive. If he were to draw a red line in the sand, woe to the foe who crossed it. Take note, Mr. Assad.
While Rubio is the antithesis of Barack Obama politically, they share some common traits.
Both are eloquent, ambitious, served in state legislatures and rose quickly in national prominence as first-term senators. Obama was 47 when he was elected president; Rubio would be 45.
He drew some blunt age distinctions with his presidential rivals in the Freedom Tower speech. He didn't mention by name 62-year-old Jeb Bush, his political mentor and friend, but said America doesn't need to recycle political dynasties from the past. He was positively snarky about Hillary, 67, calling her so "yesterday." The crowd loved it.
But a good part of Rubio's core constituents won't love a few of the positions he outlined Monday. For example, he promised to repeal Obamacare, but 400,000 people in Miami-Dade (most of them in Republican-registered Hialeah) have signed up for health insurance through the ACA and 1.6 million people throughout the state. It's doubtful they want to lose it.
Rubio used the announcement speech to confirm his conservative bona fides: Pro-life, pro-school choice, pro-Israel, against the nuclear deal with Iran and against Obama's Cuba initiative. Then there are those requisite family values: "The family, not the government is the most important institution." Right, but have you ever heard anyone say it's not?
Perhaps the most striking thing about Rubio's speech was its lack of partisan politics.
Not once did he say the words "Republican" or "Democrat." Nor was there much discussion of public policy. But there was a surfeit about core conservative principles. American ones, which have been tarnished and must be restored. Rubio promises to get them gleaming again.
For years Rubio has spoken of his parents and their American journey, and he did so movingly on Monday. Born poor in Cuba, they immigrated to the United States in 1956. His mother became a hotel maid and K-Mart cashier, his father a bartender. "But they were a success," Rubio said, "they achieved the American dream. They owned their home and raised four children whose lives were better than theirs had been." He pledged to help the younger generation achieve a similar America dream.
Rubio could have easily have been reelected to the Senate next year. That would have been the easier, more conventional path.
He has instead chosen a harder one by running for president. With $10 million pledged by Norman Braman, who attended Monday's speech, and millions more from other deep-pocketed donors, Rubio will have enough money to mount a serious campaign.
He's already a serious contender, a Cuban American who speaks both English and Spanish like it's his first tongue. He is also graced with a name that is so ethnically unidentifiable that xenophobic Tea Partiers can embrace him. Outside the Freedom Tower after the speech one reporter from Fusion was playing that old kid's game where one shouts "Marco" and the others shout "Polo."
There's really only one fundamental question about Rubio that must now be answered: At 43, is he experienced enough to be president? Is he ready? He'll show he is or he isn't in the coming months. That's why they hold primary elections.

Building an Objective, Lower-Cost and Portable Glaucoma Screening Tool
Note: This is the third in a three-part series about Qualcomm Institute research projects that have a direct impact on aging. (Read the first two stories here and here). All three projects are funded through the Calit2 Strategic Research Opportunities program. The Qualcomm Institute is the University of California, San Diego division of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2).
San Diego, Calif., Oct. 23, 2014 — Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in the world, affecting more than 80 million people. However, because the disease remains largely asymptomatic as it progresses, researchers estimate that more than 50 percent of individuals are unaware that they're afflicted until it's too late.
To make matters worse, there are is no effective way to screen for the disease. The current diagnostic process -- which requires patients to have the forethought to make an appointment -- is subjective, cumbersome and expensive, says Felipe Medeiros, professor of Ophthalmology and the Ben and Wanda Hildyard Chair for Diseases of the Eye at the University of California, San Diego.
Medeiros is hoping the new diagnostic tool he's developing in collaboration with the Qualcomm Institute will provide an objective, low-cost and even portable means for screening patients for visual field loss and glaucoma.
"The way we currently assess visual function in these patients is with Standard Automated Perimetry (SAP), which evaluates loss of vision by requiring the patient to press a button to indicate whether or not he or she has seen a series of very dim visual stimuli," he explains. "This test has a number of limitations – not only must patients come into a physician's office to be tested, but the testing process is fatiguing, difficult and tedious. It's also subject to a lot of variability and learning effects."
"It's not an easy test for patients to do," he continues, "but it's pretty much all we have, not only for glaucoma but for other diseases that can affect the visual field."
Medeiros' proposed replacement combines head-mounted virtual reality goggles typically used for video games with a wireless dry Electroencephalogram (EEG) system to measure the electrical field changes associated with processing visual field stimuli. The testing platform is based on objective analysis of the EEG signals and therefore does not require subjective responses from the patient. The data can be transmitted to a smartphone or tablet device, making for easy retrieval and analysis by clinicians.
Medeiros received a $50,000 Calit2 Strategic Research Opportunities (CSRO) grant earlier this year to build a proof-of-concept of the device, which he and his team will use to conduct preliminary investigations of its worth as a diagnostic tool.
Notes Medeiros: "Because the equipment is portable and doesn't require much set-up, testing could be done much more easily, maybe even at a patient's home or in certain underserved locations where there are no machines that can conduct the SAP test.
"Furthermore, having a more objective test may decrease variability and increase reproducibility. In addition to its use in screening for visual field loss, the test could also potentially be used to monitor glaucoma patients over time. Think about having a device that you could use to test yourself many times throughout the year, providing data from 10 or more tests per year. We cannot do this for SAP."
Medeiros is partnering with neuroscientist and Swartz Center of Computational Neuroscience Co-Director Tzyy-Ping Jung to develop the system and incorporate algorithms that will parse the brain signals associated with visual stimuli from among all the diverse signals captured by the EEG.
The team has already begun collecting preliminary data on control subjects (those without signs of glaucoma) as well as a large cohort of patients with glaucoma who are part of a longitudinal study at the UC San Diego Shiley Eye Center.

Dragon Tides Kickstarter Kicks Into Final Few Hours!

The Dragon Tides Kickstarter from Artistic Justice Games is closing in on the final few hours on the fundraising platform. With that in mind take a look at some of the content you're getting in this officially licensed game staring both Bruce and Brandon Lee as well as a few other familiar faces...
The game features...
- Characters: Bruce Lee, Brandon Lee, Viktoria Jovavich, Luke Elba, and a cast of Henchmen, Mid-Bosses, and Bosses
- Non-Linear Storyline: Branching paths lead to very different scenarios and battles each time you play
- Change the course of the game: Let your decisions strengthen or weaken the Tiger Organization before the showdown with the final Boss
- Beautiful Minis that capture the Action/Martial Arts feel of the game Custom Dice combinations, unlocking Signature Moves for each character, specific for all heroes and bosses in the game
- Fast-Paced Combat and Interactive Environments in tribute to side-scrolling beat-em-ups and kung fu movies from yesterday and today
...so sounds like it's quite up your alley if you're a fan of the martial arts genre. You can play the game as either a versus experience where someone takes on the role of the Tiger Organisation and the other the heroes or you can play it co-op and have both of you fighting an A.I Deck controlling the enemies.
As I mentioned there are also a lot of different stretch goals already unlocked for the campaign adding in many more familiar faces. See what you think of them...
There might even be enough time to unlock a few more before the end of the campaign over the next day or two. You can take a look at the beginning of a gameplay demo video above if you would like a closer look at the mechanics.

12:35 AM: If you're seeing/hearing Guardian One in the White Center/Highland Park area – there's a search under way related to a shooting reported at 15th and Roxbury.
12:41 AM: In medical communications between emergency personnel, the victim is described as a man around 40 years old who has been shot once in the leg. At least one armed suspect was reported to have fled eastbound along Roxbury. The victim is about to be taken to Harborview via Seattle Fire Medic 32.
1:43 AM: As we noted in comments, this is the third 15th/Roxbury shooting in less than a month, all involving someone getting shot in the leg. The ground search was still under way as of our quick check of the area a little while ago, with both SPD and KCSO involved. The 15th/Roxbury gas station/mini-mart appears to have been the scene, at least judging by the stringing of crime-scene tape (photo added above).
ADDED MONDAY MORNING: Summary and added info from King County Sheriff's Office spokesperson Sgt. Cindi West:
On Saturday morning just after midnight we responded to a shooting at the White Center Mini Mart at 1505 Roxbury.
When we arrived we found a 40 year old Seattle man on the east side of the building shot in the upper thigh. Witnesses said there may have been a verbal altercation between the victim and 3 males just prior to the shooting and it is believed one of the males shot the victim.
The 3 were last seen running from the scene and were described as:
#1. Black male, late teens to early 20's, approximately 5'10", stocky build, dark smooth skin, a 4"afro, last seen wearing a dark blue Adidas jogging suit jacket, dark colored jeans and white tennis shoes.
#2. Black male, late teens to early 20's, approximately 5'10", thin build, with a "short afro," last seen wearing a black and white checkered flannel shirt that appeared to be insulated, dark blue jeans and red tennis shoes. He was also wearing green and yellow billed baseball cap.
#3. Black male, late teens to early 20's, approximately 5'10", thin build, "short afro," last seen wearing a dark colored sweater, pinstriped grey or beige khaki's and white tennis shoes.
The victim was taken to Harborview in serious condition.

I forgot to mention that Fort Adair in Knoxville was a supply depot for the Cumberland Guard as they conducted settlers to the Cumberland Settlements(Nashville). The early route to Nashville and on into KY was via the TN River and would have taken settlers through the N AL counties and back into TN. Hope this is helpful.

Parent Survival Guide
July 19, 2011
Amy Lanham

Good Communication is fundamental when administering any type of programming. It is especially important when that program involves minors. The many challenges in running a great Summer Camp program are compounded by the fact that your primary communication link is not with the participant, but with the parent.
And since the parent has entrusted their most precious possession (their child) to the program staff, good communication becomes vital. Trying to alleviate some of the worry and confusion and making sure all participants have the same information can be a daunting task.
Creating and using a 'Parent Survival Guide' may be the answer.
