VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 27, 2013) - CB Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CBJ) ("CB Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the results of the environmental study entitled "Delimitation and Identification of the Environmental Protection Area for the Municipality of Vetas, Santander", and prepared by the Fundación Estación Biológica Guayacanal ("Fundación Guayacanal"), confirms that the Vetas Gold Project ("Vetas Gold Project"), is not affected by the Paramo ecosystem. The Vetas Gold Project is located in the Municipality of Vetas, Santander District and approximately 10km south of AUX's La Bodega, La Mascota and El Gigante deposits.
The Fundación Guayacanal study was requested by the Mesa de Integración de la Región del Río Suratá, a non-governmental organization representing the Municipalities of Vetas, California and Surata, where the projects of CB Gold, AUX and several other mining companies are located. The study was commissioned by the Colombian Chamber of Mines together with Leyhat Colombia Sucursal S.A. and AUX Minería (the respective subsidiaries of CB Gold and AUX).
The study was presented to and discussed with different Colombian Governmental Authorities, including the office of the President of the Colombian Republic, the Ministry of Mines and Energy, the National Mining Agency, the CDMB (Corporación Autónoma Regional para la Defensa de la Meseta de Bucaramanga), the Von Humboldt Institute and the Ministry of Environment & Sustainable Development.
The detailed study was prepared on a 1:10,000 scale for the Municipality of Vetas (the Colombian National Development Plan prescribes that studies to delimit areas of Paramo should be undertaken on a scale of 1:25,000), using the data coming from 99 vegetation surveys, 86 soil surveys and the photo-interpretation. It also included a detailed analysis of the variation in the topographical limits between the Andean forest, the high-Andean forest and the Páramo. Over 30 scientist including biologists, forestry engineers, agricultural engineers, social researchers and hydrologists worked several weeks in the field in order to prepare the study, the results of which are summarized below. More details regarding the methodology and the conclusion of the study can be found on the Company's website at www.cbgoldinc.com (an English translation will soon follow).
Study Results:
"According to the probabilistic model, the lower limit of the Páramo is situated above 3600m a.s.l. in most of the study area. There are local variations due to more abrupt geological formations, in which a non-significant percentage of the Páramo area may occur in the form of scarps or rocky edges. This limit coincides very closely, for the most part, with the limit proposed by the CDMB for the Santurbán Regional Natural Park…………… The altitudinal limit between pasturelands and scrublands indicates that the latter, as characteristic cover of primary and secondary páramos, are concentrated above 3600m a.s.l. and are rare below 3500m a.s.l.".
About the Fundación Guayacanal:
The Fundación Guayacanal is a non-profit organization whose team of researchers lead by German Camargo Ponce de Leon, has been working since 1990 on ecosystem restoration, regional planning and human ecology for the benefit of sustainable development of local communities and sectoral projects in different parts of country. The Fundación Guayacanal has worked privately, as well as on Government funded Projects.
German Camargo Ponce de Leon is a biologist, urban environmental management specialist and is an expert in restoration of high mountain ecosystems in the Andean region. He is author of several books and articles and has served as a consultant to the UNDP and the European Commission in urban environmental management and risk management. He has held public office positions as Deputy Director of Environmental Planning Bogota, Deputy Director of Development and Environment Ecosystems Bogota, Deputy Director of Information and Planning for the CAR (Corporación Autónoma Regional de Cundinamarca), Advisor to the Colombian National Parks and the Von Humboldt Institute, Planning Chief of the Municipality of Barrancabermeja. He is a member of the scientific committees of the Cerros of Bogota Foundation and of the Colombian Council for Sustainable Construction.
Fabio Capponi, CEO of CB Gold commented "We are extremely pleased with the results of the study, which in great technical detail, confirms the Company's view that Paramo does not impact the Vetas Gold Project, and also provides the relevant governmental authorities a very useful tool to define the final boundaries of the Paramo in the Vetas area. The conclusion of the study is very closely aligned with the already declared Regional Natural Park Paramo de Saturaban, which as previously announced by the Company, does not affect the development of the Vetas Gold Project".

In 2010, the particular economic and legal role of the US allowed to globally implement FATCA as the first regime governing the automatic exchange of information to reduce tax avoidance and evasion.
i:Reg was one of the first FATCA reporting engines able to create FATCA XML as well as the form 8966 and has been implemented globally for IGA1, IGA2 and direct reporting via IDES by FFIs and USFIs. Deviating national reporting formats for IGA1 models are supported via configuration. The product is distinguished by the highest degree of automation and the handling of complex transactions like one- and two-level correction procedures. The software guarantees consistent reports upon the simultaneous creation of reports according to QI or CRS.

New laws governing global Automatic Exchange of Information (AEoI) – currently being implemented as the OECD Common Reporting Standard (OECD CRS) – among major nations will place a greater compliance burden on financial institutions, many of which are already grappling with the complexities of the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), the bilateral anti-tax evasion legislation imposed by the US.
Provision of robust data will lie at the heart of CRS requirements and, in this interview, Dr Wolfgang Goeb, head of business development at software vendor Software Daten Service, explains how financial institutions can begin to tackle the reporting challenges they will face.

Thank you, Neopets
Written on March 9th, 2016
Ah, Neopets.
So much of my childhood was spent on this site raising my own virtual pets and creating complex, detailed personalities for each one. When I was in early grade school my neighbor introduced me to this community and I fell in love right away; I could spend hours on the message boards and games and petpages of this world, meeting people with similar interests and letting my creative side flourish.
My parents used to joke that I was a "computer addict" even before I was out of elementary school, but the truth is I wasn't really addicted to the computer – I was just addicted to Neopets.
It seems a little embarrassing looking back, to be honest. Sometimes I can't believe I spent so much time obsessing over pixels when there are countless other things to do while growing up.
But despite that little bit of shame, I'm so thankful that Neopets gave me a platform to explore my creativity and allowed me to develop expansive passions and interests that I may never have realized without it. I have no regrets about my time spent as a part of this world.
It was Neopets that inspired my first coding endeavor. Each pet you own gets their own petpage – kind of like its own miniature website that you can use for whatever you want. You were able to go in and edit the HTML and CSS of these pages in order to customize them, and the possibility fascinated me.
Before long I was scouring the message boards for coding help, I was discovering Neopets-themed coding websites, and I was trying my hand at designing my own things. It was rough at first, I'll be honest (and Neopets really limits the kinds of code you can use because of their regulations) but eventually I grew and was able to build, from scratch, petpages I felt proud of.
It was a similar story with graphic design. Nepets is the reason I first downloaded a free photoshop editor (paint.NET, one I actually still use at times today). I wanted to customize my pages even further, to create more complex designs, to embellish the lives of my pets with greater beauty.
At first I had absolutely no idea what I was doing, but I was fortunate to be able to look up to a strong community of talented designers that frequented the site. I learned from their expertise and my design abilities slowly but steadily grew.
Before long I had launched my own website outside of the Neopets world — it was named after a stuffed dinosaur my fifth grade best friend and I shared — that mainly supplied Neopets-themed graphics and designs.
At this point my coding and graphic abilities were still extremely rudimentary, but I was proud nonetheless. I felt like I had discovered this special world on the internet, this tightly-knit community of young designers who were eager to learn and share their work, and it was immensely beneficial to my development.
I will never forget those first friends I made as we explored the web design world together. They helped make me who I am today.
And more than that, my writing grew because of Neopets. I had always enjoyed journaling and crafting short stories, but my passion for words didn't really take off until I became invested in the Neopets world.
I felt inspired to write stories for my pets, to develop their characters into complex beings, to share about them on the message boards. There was one specific board that really opened my mind; it was dedicated to writing and on it countless individuals talked about their aspirations to become authors and have their work published, and it was the first time I started to think that a future in writing might be possible for me.
I regularly submitted work to the weekly Neopets newspaper, I participated in writing contests on the message boards, and I began to find that stringing together pieces of the English language to create something greater than the sum of its parts was something I was really, truly, insanely passionate about.
I'm sure that I would have realized I liked writing eventually, but without Neopets speeding up the process I probably wouldn't have written a complete "novel" by the end of fourth grade.
More than anything, Neopets simply gave me a voice.
It was a community where I felt like I was heard and appreciated, and I felt that I could be creative in whatever way I wanted. It was liberating as a nerdy little kid to be able to share my thoughts with the world and feel like they mattered. I could invent whatever complex stories and designs my brain could think of. I could reach out to others who shared the same interests. I could discover who I was in a safe, essentially risk-free zone. I could be me, and it was amazing.
Neopets has truly been fundamental to my growth, and even though I've outgrown virtual pets I will still always remember Neopia with fondness. I appreciate the amazing insights this game gave me into myself and the world around me, and I encourage every young person to find a place where they feel just as empowered and accepted as I did on Neopets.com.
So thank you, Neopets. I truly wouldn't be where I am today – majoring in marketing and graphic design, compiling a writing portfolio, reaching out to countless people – if it weren't for you. You are more than just a game. And in my heart I will always be a Neopian.

Directory of Illustration 24
This year I decided to place an ad in the Directory of Illustration… and the massive 600-page hardcover book arrived just a couple weeks ago! I took a flip through and there is some fabulous work in there… I'm feeling very inspired!
Since this is the first year I've listed in the DOI and the book has just launched, I can't offer much feedback yet on how successful it is as a self-promotional piece for children's book illustrators… I continue to find personable, old-school guerilla marketing techniques to be the best method of meeting new clients. So listing in a directory is a whole new kettle of fish for me! But thus far I've been impressed with the DOI website, which allows you to post your blog feed via RSS, your portfolio, and even feature your current projects.
If you want to take peak, you can Browse the Book here. My little ad wound up on page 362/600!

Bitcoin To Kn – The Coin That Unit The World & People: TAN
Thank you for coming to our website in search of "Bitcoin To Kn" online. Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but in addition they participate in more sophisticated smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables innovative dispute mediation services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain consistently leaves public proof a transaction happened. This can be possibly used in an appeal against businesses with deceptive practices. Since one of the earliest forms of making money is in money lending, it is a fact that you can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the giving sites now focus on Bitcoin, Some of these sites you're demanded fill in a captcha after a certain time frame and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for visiting them. It is possible to see the www.cryptofunds.co web site to find some lists of of these sites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have very different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have lots of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have rather inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to think of a fair investment strategy. Bitcoin is the primary cryptocurrency of the web: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, international, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there's no governments, banks, or another regulatory agencies. As such, it truly is more resistant to outrageous inflation and corrupt banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the protection and privacy threats. Security and privacy can readily be reached by just being smart, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't set your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be secured by removing any identity of possession from the wallets and thus keeping you anonymous. Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running software with specialized hardware. Mining software listen for transmission trades on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate tasks to process and affirm these trades. Bitcoin miners do this because they are able to earn transaction fees paid by users for faster transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas.
Bitcoin To Kn – Your Wealth Robot – The Affluence Network
It's certainly possible, but it must have the ability to recognize opportunities no matter market behavior. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even if it's in a BTC trend down can make money by purchasing the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be fine. You may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. Anytime you commence to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you acquire the uptrend will never go lower! Always will go down! You will discover that incremental benefits are more reliable and profitable (most times) Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to investigate possibilities for making massive ammonts of money with various types of online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to brave the cryptocurrency marketplaces.Bitcoin design provides an instructive example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency marketplaces. Bitcoin is an outstanding intellectual and technical accomplishment, and it has generated an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and pass up on quite successful business models made available as a result of growing use of blockchain technology. It should be challenging to get more little increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the way to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be accurate: having little increases is more profitable than trying to resist up to the summit. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it is better to examine publications than wait for order confirmation when you think the price is going down. Secondly, there's more volatility and reward in monies that never have made it to the profitableness of websites like Coinwarz. When searching on the web forBitcoin To Kn, there are many things to think of.

Click here to visit our home page and learn more about Bitcoin To Kn. Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too fast, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could grow dramatically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the whole platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the increasing costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can result in a negative change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based company that could lead to company being unable to continue to manage or to discontinue operation. For most users of cryptocurrencies it isn't essential to understand how the procedure functions in and of itself, but it is simply crucial that you understand that there is a procedure for mining to create virtual currency. Unlike currencies as we know them now where Authorities and banks can only select to print endless quantities (I 'm not saying they are doing so, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining application, which solves the advanced algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation. Many people would rather use a money deflation, particularly those that want to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Financial privacy, for example, is amazing for political activists, but more debatable when it comes to political campaign financing. We need a steady cryptocurrency for use in trade; If you are living pay check to pay check, it'd happen within your wealth, with the remainder earmarked for other currencies. If you are looking for Bitcoin To Kn, look no further than The Affluence Network.
Bitcoin To Kn: Business Investment 3.0 Into the Future – The Affluence Network
The beauty of the cryptocurrencies is that scam was proved an impossibility: due to the nature of the method where it's transacted. All deals over a crypto-currency blockchain are permanent. As soon as youare paid, you get paid. This isn't anything temporary wherever your visitors could dispute or need a concessions, or use dishonest sleight of hand. In practice, many traders will be a good idea to utilize a payment processor, due to the permanent nature of crypto-currency deals, you should make sure that protection is difficult. With any kind of crypto-currency whether it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or some of the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers might get access to your individual keys and therefore steal your cash. However, you almost certainly will never get it back. It's quite crucial for you yourself to follow some excellent safe and secure procedures when working with any cryptocurrency. Doing this will protect you from all of these negative events. Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a specific address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there is absolutely no digital information held in it, like in the same manner that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It is simply a representation of value, but there is no genuine palpable sort of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be seized or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They would not have spending limits and withdrawal restrictions enforced on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can determine how their wealth will be managed. In the event of a fully-functioning cryptocurrency, it may also be dealt like a thing. Advocates of cryptocurrencies proclaim this sort of virtual cash is not controlled by a central banking system and it is not therefore subject to the whims of its inflation. Since there are always a minimal amount of goods, this cashis price is based on market forces, enabling entrepreneurs to industry over cryptocurrency transactions.

Who thought when we first started that we would begin having a monthly Blog Hop and that it would be so popular? It's wonderful and we have to thank all of you who come to our Blog Hops and support them. Without you, our First Anniversary would never have happened.
During this first year we've added a lot of new people to our list of "Hoppers". The core group remains but there are enough of us now that when life happens and someone can't participate, we still have a nice, healthy line-up to take part in the Blog Hop. With it being Convention Week for Stampin' Up! we're lucky that we managed to get a group together. We are excited that we have ten "Hoppers", six of whom are from the original core group. See if you remember who those six are when you read the following list:
Jackie Susnik - Jack Otter Stamp

To celebrate our First Anniversary our theme is anniversaries. There should be some exciting posts and projects with anniversary cards and other items in the spotlight. If you don't have any anniversaries coming up in your lives soon, remember it's a simple matter to change the sentiment for any card that takes your fancy. We share our projects to give you ideas.
Our blog hop is a circular one. Whether you start at the beginning or the end, whether you begin partway through, inevitably you wind up where you began. Like a ring, the circle is complete and never-ending. Of course you can "jump off" at any time, but we trust that you'll find our hop so fabulous that you continue right on through all ten blogs.
We hope you've enjoyed celebrating our First Anniversary with us. Bookmark our site and join us in August for the Holiday Catalog(ue) Hop we are now preparing. We'll be featuring product and projects from the soon-to-be-released 2014 Holiday Catalog(ue).

| The Sting is a 9x21 mm submachine gun. The weapon is designed to be used by security forces, vehicle crews and special forces. Due to its small size, accuracy, ambidextrous use and rate of fire, it became a popular SMG around the world.
Field Manual
|Sting 9 mm
|Submachine Gun
|9×21 mm
| Magazine
The Sting is a 9 mm submachine gun used by CSAT pilots in ArmA 3.
The Sting is a selective-fire, blowback-operated submachine gun that is chambered to fire the the 9×21 mm round.
It loads from 30 round translucent box magazines, and can attain a fire rate of up to 1,100 rounds per minute with a muzzle velocity of 370 m/s. The Sting can fit accessories onto its top and side rails and can also mount muzzle attachments.
Handling-wise, the Sting is a very stable SMG platform. Like all the other submachine guns, the Sting has a very high rate of fire and low recoil, but also low damage and range. Its recoil is simple to manage in all fire modes and is the most accurate SMG (even compared to the Vermin), allowing the operator to lay down a hail of precision fire at short-medium ranges.
Though it primarily serves as the standard-issue weapon of CSAT pilots, it is very light and doesn't take up much space in a backpack which makes it ideal for use as a backup weapon for other roles. However, it is only recommended as a primary weapon in extreme close quarter scenarios or when using a sniper rifle due to its inherent drawbacks of being an SMG.
- The Sting is based on the "Scorpion Evo 3" (more specifically the A1 variant) designed by Česká Zbrojovka Uherský Brod (CZ).
- The model itself appears to be an upgraded port of the Scorpion SMG from the Army of the Czech Republic DLC.
- During the pre-Alpha phase of ArmA 3's development, the Sting initially served as a placeholder weapon for the SDAR and could fire while underwater.

What is the state of play for sport? Brabners Sport Update 2017
Monday 20th November 2017
The ambitions for UK sport are far reaching however for many sports organisations, developments in governance, funding, regulation, reputation and technology all impact upon the state of play. Brabners hosted an expert panel at their half day seminar aiming to help navigate some of the legal and commercial challenges and share insights from experts in the field.
The session was hosted by Brabners' Head of Sports Sector, Lydia Edgar, bringing together insights from the 5 panellists;
Opening the morning, Maurice Watkins CBE, who has operated and advised at senior level in the sports sector for over 40 years, gave his state of the nation address.
Brabners GDPR expert, Matt Brown, presented the General Data Protection Regulations which are due to come in to force in May 2018 and the implications for the acquisition, retention and use of membership data. Followed by media lawyer Phil Steele who provided practical advice and tips on handling the media, including crisis and reputation management as conduct and integrity in sport have been the focus of recent media attention.
Finally we were delighted to welcome triple World Champion gymnast and Olympic medallist Beth Tweddle MBE - Director of Switch the Play, and Ash Cox, Director of Legal at British Swimming who shared their experience and insights in relation to sports duty of care in light of Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompsons Independent Review in April 2017 with a particular focus on athlete transition and also in relation to governance and the impact of the Code for Sports Governance.

And very consumer friendly. DVB-H is a closed technology that is being pushed by telecom operators that want to control content on their chosen mobile phone models and make money on it. DMB doesn't only work on phones, but on mp3 players, navigation units, usb sticks, cameras, etc.
Way cool!

Rolinda J. Bailey
Hi, my name is Rolinda J. Bailey
I am the office manager and insurance biller for Birth Roots Women's Health and Maternity Center. I have been working here in those capacities since January 2010. I enjoy working at Birth Roots because I am able to meet so many women and their families, supporting their needs and encouraging them as they work toward achieving the birth plans they create.
I was born in Cleveland, Ohio and I moved to San Diego when I was 4 years old. I have three children, a son and two daughters, and nine grandchildren-two boys and seven girls ranging from adults to toddlers. I worked for Prudential Insurance in medical groups claims for over 12 years, gaining an understanding of insurance billing. I returned to school and received an Associate's degree in Business in 2010, and continued on to receive a Bachelor's degree in Health Administration in 2012.
We are a diverse group of women who share the passion of making women feel empowered and free to express themselves about what they do or do not want for their births and their health care. We believe in creating the ability for every woman to have the opportunity to have the natural birth she desires- determined by medical circumstances- and to work with women to make the births financially feasible, too.
I delivered my children in an era where the doctor was the one who dictated how and when procedures were performed and babies were born. I did not even know there was an option for natural childbirth-I had epidurals with all three. Now, I am educated about the positive effects on women when they are the ones who determine their laboring techniques and delivery places (at home, a birth center, or at a hospital). Women feel better and can handle their deliveries much better when they know their options and can be more natural while laboring. I especially love the fact most women can walk around, eat, and enjoy their families and friends when they opt to deliver at home or at the Birth Center. They are able to include siblings throughout the whole pregnancy, laboring, and delivery. The families' bonds are much closer when they experience the wonder of birth together.
I encourage women to come and meet us and decide for yourselves- which would be your preference? A home birth or a birth at our birth center? Come talk to our midwives and become informed about your options and empower yourselves! We also do well-women care, so you can get all your woman health care done by our experienced, caring staff.

Another Passport article
- Mods - Fixed title please.
The BlackBerry Passport: Now THAT'S A Modern Device! in [Market-Ticker]
Long, long read.
When you open the box your first reaction is oh my God is that thing big!
It is. If you have an American (or most other nation) passport, go get it. That's the size of the phone, almost to the millimeter.
It's substantial. Neither light or ridiculously heavy, and reasonably svelte. Unlike many devices these days the body has an outside metal band that appears to be stainless steel, punctuated with the charging connector on the bottom, the volume and mute keys on the right, and the power button and headphone jack on the top. The rear surface is a lightly-rubberized plastic and soft to the touch, providing a good gripping surface.
The rear of the phone sports a flush camera (it does not stick out, unlike the new iPhones) while the face is taken up by the screen and...... a keyboard.
Up top a small cover comes off (at the center top there is a small notch for a fingernail to be used) to reveal the nano-sim and SD-card slot. The battery is enormous but not directly replaceable (although the unit has been disassembled at this point by some and it appears to be reasonably serviceable -- which is nice.)
Will it fit in your pocket? Yes, as will an actual passport. Unless you wear those ridiculous skin-tight jeans that won't fit a proper-sized wallet, you're fine. The standard pair of men's Levis swallows the phone in the front pocket without complaint. So does a pair of dress pants, or (of course) a suit jacket pocket, which is where you would typically keep your passport when traveling. The bound paper one, that is.
I swapped my T-Mobile account to a nano-SIM (the Z10 takes a micro), popped in the 64GB SD card that I had in my Z10, then powered it up.
My first impression on going through the setup and mandatory quick tutorials -- which now include teaching you how to use the touch-sensitive keyboard (yes, it works like a trackpad as well as a keyboard!) revealed that this device is smoking fast and the screen is simply gorgeous. Colors are vibrant, clean and the resolution is outstanding. Not wanting to screw the software up I elected to set it up from scratch rather than attempt to port over my most-recent backup from the Z10 -- which I might have been able to accomplish, but it wasn't worth the risk.
First things first -- I used Sachesi to load SNAP, so I could easily get the Android apps I had on the Z10 back, then went into BlackBerry World, signed in and it transferred my credentials over. All my previous purchased apps from the Z10 were available and I narfed them, setting up my folders as I had previously.
The task of telling the phone where to find my calendars, contact database and such was then upon me, along with re-setting all the customizations for various people I communicate with (custom ring tones, etc.) The entire process, and remember that I'm migrating from a Z10 I've used for the last year and a half (with all the data and apps you might expect I'd have over that time!) took about an hour to complete. Note that I keep my calendars and contact database on my infrastructure -- the Passport will talk to Google's systems among others, but then Google has your calendar and contact database. No thank you; I will run my own over an encrypted link, and BB10 devices support that with minimal hassle in setup.
It was during this process that I discovered that this phone has one hell of a pair of stereo speakers in the bottom bezel. You won't be playing concert halls with it, but it's very unlike what you think of as a "phone". The sound is loud, clear, and has surprisingly good definition for coming from that tiny little case. This augurs well for those who want to use the phone as a speakerphone for small groups -- good (and acceptably loud) speakers are, of course, a big part of being able to do that.
The keyboard took only minutes to become acclimated to -- I'm fast and more-importantly, accurate with it. I've never been a fan of physical keyboards other than "sliders" as I have been unwilling to give up the screen real estate, but this implementation won me over quickly. Being able to swipe backward across the keys to perform a backwards word delete, for example, is one of many intuitive touches that just plain works. I thought the context soft keys above the physical keyboard would be a gimmicky pain in the ****, but they're not. It's much faster to use than on-screen "soft" keyboards -- even the really nice-working ones as are found in the more-modern smartphones like the Z10, Swype on Android devices and similar. In short the keyboard is a winner -- a big winner if you actually type things.
The phone has 3Gb of system RAM along with 32Gb of device flash storage, and has no problems with keeping multiple things going at once. Should you wish to have more (and you should for music, video, picture and similar storage) an SD card of up to 128Gb can be used. Note that for cards larger than 32Gb the phone downloads (on first use) a driver for exFAT; on first boot my Passport wanted to grab a software update and refused to load that SD card driver until it completed, which took a few minutes. But as soon as the update completed and I allowed it to reboot (it was polite enough to ask and allow me to defer until it was convenient) it all was good from there.
Cold boot time for this device is quite short. I measured 55 seconds from pressing the power button with an "off" phone until the lock screen was displayed. That's exemplary -- and a lot faster than previous BB10 devices. But -- there's no real reason to shut the phone off; I've not had a crash on a BB10 device since the very early 10.0 days roughly 18 months ago....
About this time into my use I started to find surprises in the new hardware and software combination -- all good.
First, in Android apps if you swipe down from the top you'll see a "Zoom out" option. If you choose it the unit will resize for the full screen resolution instead of a "clipped" phone-style Android app size, and tell the app it has the full resolution available. Some apps will go into tablet mode when you do this -- which is really, really nice. Think trading apps, for example (e.g. ThinkOrSwim), or the Kindle e-book reader. Speaking of which the Passport works exceptionally well for that application, should you be into book-reading.
Next, a double-finger swipe down on the physical keyboard brings up a full virtual keyboard (above the physical) complete with all the symbols, and a second double-finger swipe changes to a second set of symbols. A third dismisses it. Very handy.
The BlackBerry "signature" multicolor LED on the front is present; get the BlackBerry App BeBuzz Pro for greatly enhanced capability in this regard. To give you some sort of idea what I do with it I have two contacts (my daughter and g/f) that have their own "colors" -- yellow and pink -- that I have blinking for any sort of message (email, facebook, text, missed call etc) from them. Thus if I have anything pending from them (unseen) I know instantly without having to wake up the phone. For unread general texts, the LED blinks green, for emails blue. Then there are patterns I have set for missed calls (red/blue) and there's another one for no Internet connectivity (e.g. in an area with a crap signal) -- red/red. As a result I know the status of the device at a glance, and what if anything I haven't seen. This is one of those features that Apple has never figured out the need for, and while some Android devices have it, not all do. I consider it essential after having had it for the last couple of years and would never buy a device without it.
The BB10 "bedside mode" is another nice feature; your phone is your alarm clock. We all charge our phones at night, yes? So buy a little stand for your bedside table, plug in there, and pull down the top menu -- you get "bedside mode." The screen appropriately dims way down to red so your eyeballs don't get blasted out and adjusts for the room light (or more to the point, the lack thereof.) You can set this to allow phone calls (and only phone calls!) to ring through or silence all alerts while in that mode. Alarms are of course supported as well (what good is a clock without an alarm, and of course you can wake to any music from your collection.) Now you have a travel alarm clock that really works (including snooze) that is your primary clock, both home and away. Excellent. Note that in 10.3.1 firmware, which I have on my Z10 but is not yet available for the Passport, notification profiles can be radically customized for any mode -- including this one, so if there are people who you must hear from irrespective of when you can tell it to do that. This is one of those little BlackBerry features that has replaced a device I used to have both in my home and when traveling -- the old mundane clock.
One "random" note -- if you're one of those people who texts in the car while driving (and you know damn well you shouldn't) I will tell you right now -- don't get this phone. It is very difficult to operate one-handed, especially for entering text. So if you're hellbent on trying to kill yourself or others by being distracted while driving this phone isn't for you.
On the other hand in an airvent clip holder as a GPS device the Passport is incredible. The screen is very crisp, brightness auto-adjusts nicely (as do the other BB10 devices; BlackBerry got this right on the entire line) and overall it's a great user experience. Mireo works well also if you have purchased it (offline nav with maps on your SD card or in device memory.) Want Google's maps? Yes, that works -- you can't sign in (since BlackBerry doesn't formally support Google Play) but the navigation portion is fully functional. Just remember that whenever those apps are running you're giving your location, direction of travel, speed and identity to both the company involved (e.g. Google) and the NSA. If you'd like some privacy pony up the few bucks for Mireo, but in using it rather than BlackBerry's (or Google's) mapping app you will give up active traffic (e.g. wrecks, etc) avoidance.
Now let's talk about BlackBerry Blend. It only works at present on the Passport, and it's a game-changer. It connects over WiFi, cellular data or USB (your choice of any or all.) You load an app on your desktop, laptop and/or tablet; when activated it mirrors your phone messaging and calendar screens on your computer. When you get a message, email, BBM, anything -- you have it available on your computer, which means your phone can remain in your pocket all the time when you're at your desk, especially if you have a bluetooth headset to take a phone call. Oh, and did I mention that the file manager is available from Blend, so you can copy files to and from the phone, including from your linked cloud accounts such as Dropbox, Box and even your PC or Mac if you set that up via Link as well? The exceptions are that the Twitter and Facebook clients don't mirror. I also am not terribly impressed with the calendar visualization and interaction, but for messaging (which is the part I find most-compelling) it's flat-out awesome.
Back in my Android days I had a rather kludgy version of this that sort-of worked. This is different -- Blend is awesome sauce and it's a unique feature. It's secure (it uses the internal tunneling that BlackBerry has in Link), it's reasonably quick, it works from and to pretty-much anywhere (on my laptop and desktop transparently, for example) and I don't have to pull the phone out of my pocket at my desk or pick it up; as long as the network can "see" it the functionality is there. Essentially, unless you need to charge the device (the charge status is visible in the lower right corner as well) provided you have a headset to take a call with you never need to take the phone out of your pocket, purse, briefcase or otherwise while at your desk for the common things you do with it while working. I like it -- a lot.
Now onto Android compatibility, because I know a lot of people care about it. You have the Amazon app store that's preloaded if you wish to use it. I don't and haven't. I use SNAP so I have all my Android apps available. You choose. Those who argue that "sideloading" is difficult have rocks in their head; you simply plug in the USB cable once and drop the BAR file on the window. Done. It's that simple -- no "development mode" is required or anything else. I had to do it exactly once when I put SNAP on my Z10, and I had to do it once for the Passport. Whoopie. It's no harder than loading a program on a Windows computer or a Mac; if you can drag a file from one place to another you can do it. Once done you simply use the app like any other on the phone itself.
Performance-wise Android apps run very well on the Passport. There have been some that were constrained -- severely so -- on the Z10. It's simply a matter of running the Android apps in a virtual machine and the constraints of doing so alongside the rest of QNX and the BlackBerry apps in a device with only so much RAM. This has gotten worse over the last year or so as app developers in the Android world started counting on devices having more and more memory native -- Fox News and MyFitnessPal are two that over the last six months have seen multiple updates that rendered them quite-severely constrained performance-wise on the Z10 -- while previous versions were great. The Passport's 3Gb of RAM eliminates this consideration entirely and the difference is a quantum level of improvement in the user experience. In short a large number of Android apps ran really well on the Z10. Nearly all of them, provided they don't need Google's Pay service (e.g. in-app billing) run really well on the Passport.
How about the camera? It has 720p and 1080p video recording at both 30 and 60fps, the latter being "slow motion" of course when played at 30fps. The shooter itself has a 12Mbps sensor, a dedicated image processor and hybrid IS (both optical and digital); it works extremely well. It is capable of shooting in single-shot, burst mode (hold down the button and it rapid-fires frames) and of course video. Stills in 1x1 (square) format are 3120x3120 pixels; f/2 aperture. Your options for aspect ratio are 1x1, 4:3 and 16:9. I am getting clear pictures without flash at 1/5th of a second in dark locations such as my local neighborhood bar; the IS works amazingly well in low light. IMHO the JPEG algo is a bit too aggressive with sharpening but it's not awful by any means. In short while the camera will never be mistaken for a dSLR it produces very credible imagery -- even without flash in challenging lighting conditions.
Battery life is as expected -- that is, excellent. I've spent the last couple of days intentionally not plugging the phone in at all and being that it's a new device and I'm playing around with it a lot I'm using it very heavily. I've yet to run out of power with a full day's heavy use spanning 18 hours, even when I include a half-hour or so of navigation. That's something you typically cannot do on any phone without plugging it in -- nav is pretty much the worst-case scenario as it heavily exercises the radio (if you're using maps over the cell link), GPS receiver, display (of course) and the CPU -- add it all up and you have a major power pig on your hands. Nonetheless, even with intentionally not plugging in while in the car I've yet to run out of power before retiring for the evening, although I have gotten into the single-digit percentage remaining range. Bravo.
The 10.3.0 OS provided has the browser "auto-font size" problem that is in all of the previous versions of BB10 back to when manual font size selection disappeared (~10.1 if I recall correctly), and which I've reported on before. It's not particularly serious but is a bit annoying. This is fixed in 10.3.1 but there is currently no leak available nor any official update for the Passport -- and the Z10/Z-30/other device leaks that are available to date have no flash available in the browser at all which some people will find unacceptable. 10.3.1 will come, and has other advantages -- but for right now it's definitely a bit of a bleeding edge in that in addition to flash being missing IKEv2 VPNs are broken. The latter is a serious problem for me as I really, really like the automatic connect-back to my VPN for any "open" WiFi network -- it secures such connections very effectively and completely but simply doesn't work right now on 10.3.1. On the other hand the profile customizations are awesome, so I'm very much looking forward to its availability for the Passport.
Reading content (e.g. books, web pages, etc) on the screen is wildly satisfying -- dramatically better than any other "pocketable" device I've used. The Kindle app works fabulously and I strongly recommend using the "Zoom Out" mode with it, as it then goes into tablet configuration and is just a flat-out joy. Incidentally, if you select that mode for an Android app the mode is "sticky" on a per-app basis across invocations.
In the end this is where the magic of the balance that BlackBerry put forward with the Passport design really shines -- they managed to get the utility of a tablet in your hands in terms of reading pleasure, whether your "reading" emails, books or viewing images and business data while not forcing you to try to stuff a 7" tablet in your pants. While the device is only about 30% wider than my Z10 in point of fact, and about the same thickness, it is dramatically more-usable for content consumption and inspection. Some of this comes from the screen size, and the rest comes from the visual resolution and fidelity -- with 453ppi the screen surpasses what Apple calls "retina" (in fact it's best-in-class) and keeping with the Z10's design it's an IPS panel as well. It's a matter of balance and BlackBerry hit the ball out of the park in that regard.
Any bigger would be too big; like Goldilocks' porridge the Passport is "just right."
Oh, and it fits in my sporran -- yes, that's what you wear with a kilt. I have one (for hashing) and it can be used while running (it's sort of a "front mount" fanny pack.) I was concerned that I wouldn't have a running solution for music with the Passport but in fact I do.
I've written much about BlackBerry's OS 10 in the past and how I consider it to be a revolutionary operating environment; the Hub standing alone is revolutionary compared against either Android or IOS. Another example is BlackBerry Travel -- it reads your email accounts and picks up anything travel related, automatically updating itineraries and similar. Make a hotel reservation and it will pick up the confirmation email back to you without your interaction; you can then point at the hotel in Travel and tell the phone to navigate there and it will do exactly what you'd expect -- open up the maps application and route you there. There's no keying in the address of the hotel necessary; it picks it up automatically.
Another example of this integration: I had Travel alert me of a gate change while sitting in front of the gate at the airport in Dallas before the board in the airport updated! It's that good, that fast and if you travel at all for business or pleasure it's enough reason to use a BB10 device all on its own. None of the competitive offerings come close.
Being able to run my own email, calendars and contact databases on my infrastructure without hassle (or having to load an external app) is extremely useful, as is the integration of all of this into the Hub. Android still doesn't handle this sort of thing properly; Android is great if your email, contacts and calendar are all Google based, but what if it's not -- or you don't want it to be? What if you have a half-dozen email accounts in different places and want all of them available on a seamless basis? K9Mail works well on Android in providing this functionality, for example, but it's an app and not integrated as a result.
10.3 has extended the BB10 environment in many meaningful ways, including nice touches such as knowing when you pick up the phone from a flat surface (it wakes up) to the picture password option (incredibly secure yet very fast and easy to use), quick "triage" for your various accounts (allows filing and deleting with a single touch) and more.
My complaints in terms of missing features are all of the OS variety -- there is still no S/MIME standalone support (for those not on BES) and there should be, and PGP would be nice. This is something that's quite-important and not just for encryption -- digital signatures provide evidence of lack of tampering, and are valuable standing alone. PGP is rumored to be coming, but there's been silence on S/MIME for non-BES users and IMHO that's idiotic. 10.3.1 has a decent set of contact-based overrides for profiles but I'd like content-sensitive capabilities (e.g. "If a text message from Joe comes in AND contains the word URGENT, override the profile settings") that are specific to each profile (e.g. the preceding is ONLY VALID in "Bedside mode".) The problem with the overrides is that if I have the phone set to silent I probably really mean it, while if it's in "Bedside Mode" I'd like certain things to override and ring through, but only certain things (and from certain people.) 10.3.1's customizations get me halfway there; the other half would be fabulous. BlackBerry absolutely should allow modification of Android app permissions on an individual basis (yes, I know this can break an app but that's ok -- it should be my choice individually as it is for native apps) and there's nothing other than BlackBerry's decision in coding their Android VM keeping them from permitting it. Finally, BlackBerry needs to improve its IMAP integration; it is nearly perfect, but for one flaw -- "delete" means delete, unlike virtually every other implementation that lets you choose between that option and having the mail client move the message to an archive (or "trash") folder instead. I deal with this by having a "mirrored" email setup but fixing that problem would make for a true "one mailbox, many clients" implementation that works.
None of this is Passport-specific and they're mostly things you've heard from me before.
I have discovered one glitch specific to the Passport that annoyed me -- if you have "instant previews" turned on and get a message pop-up (e.g. a text message, etc) while using an Android app, and reply to it, the soft keyboard appears above the physical keyboard as expected (for numbers, symbols, etc.) It does not always disappear when you hit "send". That's a bug in that the soft line of keys will cover a piece of your app's screen and should disappear when you're done with the pop-up notification; closing and re-opening the app clears it. For a first-release software version, I'll note, one glitch that is mildly annoying is pretty darn good!
What could BlackBerry do that would advance things even further? Improve Blend so that it can fully mirror the screen environment and port OpenOffice (or LibreOffice). If they then implemented my previous suggestion to use WiFi as a means to support an "external" screen (with effectively unlimited resolution) you now have a very effective desktop replacement for many applications and for those heavier users you have a seamless integration option too. The Passport has the processing and RAM capacity to support this, along with the connectivity required.
So what's my verdict, in summary?
BlackBerry's Passport brings to the forefront a device that is rationally-priced ($599 unlocked and no-contract at introduction; it will go $100 higher soon) while having top-of-class specifications, a fabulous screen that rivals tablet capability for reading books, working on spreadsheets or browsing images, the iconic BlackBerry keyboard in a new incantation that works exceptionally well, 32Gb of NVRAM (instead of the more-common 16Gb), 3Gb of system RAM (eliminating contention issues in my experience) and a SD slot that will accept up to a 128Gb card. Add to this incredible battery life, excellent performance, Blend for game-changing desktop integration and the total package winds up making time for you in your day instead of wasting time.
The bottom line is that the Passport is a device that fundamentally fulfills the promise made years ago yet not delivered until now -- that is, to be smart. Such a device should learn from you, it should do things intuitively and it should make your life easier -- not because it enables you to do things if you go through some convoluted set of steps but because it does the logical thing for you and thus reduces the time you have to spend to get your work done.
BlackBerry has a winner in the Passport.
Simply put it's an actual, as opposed to promised but not delivered, smart phone.
PS: A note on carrier compatibility -- this is a GSM/HSPA+/LTE "world phone." As such in the US it is a T-Mobile, AT&T and similar technology regional carrier device. There are multiple reports that it does work on WalMart's Straight Talk service (provided you're using the "pink" T-Mobile SIM they supply with their starter kit.) It will not work on Verizon, as they still have their legacy ******* CDMA system in use. If you're an AT&T customer you may need to talk to their customer service people to get LTE to come up, as AT&T does some really bizarre things with IMEI validation before permitting LTE connections.10-29-14 10:59 AMLike 3
- Nice read it is good to see that people are giving BlackBerry a chance and not like what the hell is this device and why is it square
Posted via CB1011-12-14 04:42 PMLike 1
- Just got the Passport, been with BB for years, been using the Z10 for the past two years+ unlocked, etc.. In the past 24 hours, I can tell you this..
If you have more than One BB Id, make sure before you try to use the Link to Switch Device that the Old phone your switching to the Passport and the New Passport are logged into the same BB id, if not you will not be able to use the BB Link to switch, you will need to use the WiFi Device Switch App, which worked fine.
But I had to learn that part the hard way meaning wasting time to get things switched.
More importantly, keep this in mind, if your usind a Z10 to Passport move.. Please Size Does matter when it comes to Sim the
Z is Micro Sim and the Passport uses Nano Size.
If you don't want to make a trip to the Carrier Store, you can cut it down to the Nano size, as I did,, I had a old Nano sim to size the Micro properly, there is a tool you can buy to do it, but I used a large sharp carving knife I mean large like ten inch blade, put thick business card under the Sim and trimmed. Works fine.. but be very careful as not to damage the sim or your self.. or just go to a carrier store and get a Nano sim.. for your account.
All in All very impressed with the Passport, the Speed and Power. I have to adjust to the mix between keypad and touch pad. We are such creatures of habits. Got so use to full touch screen, having been a keyboard and BB user for years.. then to the Z and now the Passport..
Another nice fact is if your using a Os 10 system, there is little learning curve to transition. This Passport came with OS 10.3.0.908 - and my Z is 10.2.1.3014 both phones on AT&T
Summary - Z uses Micro Sim You need Nano Sim for the Passport
If using the Link for Device Switch - Make sure when you set up the Passport your using the same BB ID if you have
more than one BB id as I had.. cause me to us WiFi Device Switch App
Enjoy another Great Phone on Step Above - Thanks BB12-04-14 11:04 AM
- Please what can I do to my blackberry classic,its always said,the device is network locked, contact your service provider,have already try like two different sim card still saying the same issue please kindly help me

– Suitable for quart size zipper closure freezer bags.
– Multiple holes allow air to circulate reducing freezing time to help preserve quality.
– Meals can be stored in shelves or the shelves can be removed to increase the storage capacity.
"Great product. So convenient for storing my meals for the week. I cook in bulk over the weekend and bring these frozen portions for lunch every day. Highly recommend!"
"Makes freezer storage better."
"I do a lot of freezing and this is great for keeping the bags flat. Makes it so much easier when I want to use a frozen item. I cut the top off and it slides out without being frozen in to the folds when it's not laid and frozen flat."
The Meal Planning Playbook is your guide to plan and prepare meals for today, tomorrow and beyond. The guide includes more than 100 basic everyday lunch and dinner recipes along with meal ideas to help you develop meal plans that may include re-invented meals with leftovers, frozen heat-and-eat meals or even a fresh salad. You will learn that making homemade versions of many convenient foods, such as soups and frozen entrees, are not only easy but you can control the ingredients.

Open Thread: Talk About Sex & Love — No Conversation Is or Ever Will Be Off Limits Here
Here's your place to come talk about sex and love whenever you feel like it.
The other day, I wrote about how the majority of electronic communication between my boyfriend and me centers around food, and I asked you for suggestions on better things to text. And reader Alyssa Max, who may be an asshole, wrote this:
Well, I am a woman of my word. Despite the fact that I developed a full-body blush and basically had to close my eyes and hit send, I did transmit the below.
Sure Alyssa was probably talking about sexy foods like dripping chocolate and whipped cream, but I had to be me. I expected a response along the lines of "That's weird," or "WTF is this about?" It was 14 long minutes. But instead:
Didn't skip a beat.

For the past two months Air Education and Training has been using Waypoints as an online medium for wing commanders and Airmen alike who seek new ways to understand diversity in the Air Force and embrace the culture that comes with it, and so the objective of this site is: tell us your story.
On this site there are shared ideas and open forums of discussion that are ready for reading on topics like the new retirement plan. The link below provides more information on deadlines for committing to the Blended Retirement System, and what happens to your retirement if you do not take any action at all. If you want to find more on the BRS subject then click here.
Waypoints is for more than just uniformed personnel. Here civilian employees can find information pertaining to their career evaluations and how the grading criteria will be impact bonus opportunities based on performance. This site provides more information on the Performance Management and Appraisal Program.
"[The] Department of Defense-wide Performance Management and Appraisal Program will bring some administrative changes, but the key tenet of our current civilian evaluation system will be retained—individual performance will be linked to organizational mission and goals," said Deborah Lee James, Secretary of the Air Force.
Moreover, this synchronized system of communication provides its writers and viewers the chance to be more informed narrators about the stories of the Airmen who deter adversaries to complete missions. Details on more stories like this can be read here.

It's easy to forget your New Year resolutions very quickly, but when you're an online casino player it's very important to not forget these five. The first one only applies to slots, but all the others apply to all games.
1. Always enable maximum paylines in slot games. You can't get paid for getting an inactive paylines. Some bonus features are not going to work either if not all paylines are enabled. If you don't have much cash, adjust the coin size and not the number of paylines.
2. Prepare your bankroll for the year according to your income, expenses, potential emergencies and other unexpected events. What remains can be spent on online gambling. Divide this amount into weeks and then into how much you can wager per session. Once you have established these amounts, never wager more than that.
3. Never chase losses. The main point of gambling is to have fun. You don't get money back when you buy other forms of entertainment. In the end what you lose in any casino game is just the cost of having a good time.
4. Always withdraw your winnings from you casino account, leaving only the amount of money you had before the win. If the won money remains in your account, it will be much harder to resist the temptation of using it to play.
5. Every three months take the self-assessment test available in most online casinos that lets you know if you have problematic thinking patterns about gambling. Answer all questions honestly. If the test says you have a problem, seek a solution.

They are educated to solve almost every problem you can imagine, and for you that means peace of mind knowing that a TRUE professional is solving your problems with integrity and expertise.
Air Conditioning Terms
HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) is a major sub discipline of mechanical engineering. The goal of HVAC design is to balance indoor environmental comfort with other factors such as installation cost, ease of maintenance, and energy efficiency. The discipline of HVAC includes a large number of specialized terms and acronyms, many of which are summarized in this glossary.
Air handler, or air handling unit (AHU)
Central unit consisting of a blower, heating and cooling elements, filter racks or chamber, dampers, Central unit consisting of a blower, heating and cooling elements, filter racks or chamber, dampers, humidifier, and other central equipment in direct contact with the airflow. This does not include the ductwork through the building. The indoor part of an air conditioner or heat pump that moves cooled or heated air throughout the ductwork of your home. An air handler is usually a furnace or a blower coil.
Microscopic living organisms suspended in the air that grow and multiply in warm, humid places.
British thermal unit (BTU)
Any of several units of energy (heat) in the HVAC industry, each slightly more than 1 kJ. One BTU is the energy required to raise one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit, but the many different types of BTU are based on different interpretations of this "definition". In the United States the power of HVAC systems (the rate of cooling and dehumidifying or heating) is sometimes expressed in BTU/hour instead of watts.
Cental Air Conditioning System
System in which air is treated at a central location and distributed to and from rooms by one or m ore fans and a series of ducts.
Stands for Cubic Feet per Minute. This measurement indicates how many cubic feet of air pass by a stationary point in one minute. The higher the number, the more air is being moved through the ductwork by the system.
Equipment that performs heat transfer when mounted inside an Air Handling unit or ductwork. It is heated or cooled by electrical means or by circulating liquid or steam within it. Air flowing across it is heated or cooled.
Condenser Coil
The outdoor portion of an air conditioner or heatpump that either releases or collects heat, depending on the time of the year.
Electronic Air Filter
An electronic device that filters out large particles and bioaerosols in indoor air.
Fan-coil unit (FCU)
A small terminal unit that is often composed of only a blower and a heating and/or cooling coil (heat exchanger), as is often used in hotels, condominiums, or apartments. One type of fan coil unit is a unit ventilator.
A component in the basic refrigeration cycle that ejects or removes heat from the system. The condenser is the hot side of an air conditioner or heat pump. Condensers are heat exchangers, and can transfer heat to air or to an intermediate fluid (such as water or an aqueous solution of ethylene glycol) to carry heat to a distant sink, such as ground (earth sink), a body of water, or air (as with cooling towers).
A plate or gate placed in a duct to control air flow by introducing a constriction in the duct.
The part of the air conditioner or heat pump that is located inside the air handler or attached to the furnace. A component in the basic refrigeration cycle that absorbs or adds heat to the system. Evaporators can be used to absorb heat from air (by reducing temperature and by removing water) or from a liquid. The evaporator is the cold side of an air conditioner or heat pump.
A component of an HVAC system that adds heat to air or an intermediate fluid by burning fuel (natural gas, oil, propane, butane, or other flammable substances) in a heat exchanger.
A facing across a duct opening, usually rectangular is shape, containing multiple parallel slots through which air may be delivered or withdrawn from a ventilated space.
Heat Exchanger
Located in the furnace, the heat exchanger transfers heat to the surrounding air, which is then pumped throughout the home.
Heat Pump
A heat pump is an HVAC unit that heats or cools by moving heat. During the winter, a heat pump draws heat from outdoor air and circulates it through your home's air ducts. In the summer, it reverses the process and removes heat from your house and releases it outdoors.
Blades, sometimes adjustable, placed in ducts or duct entries to control the volume of air flow. The term may also refer to blades in a rectangular frame placed in doors or walls to permit the movement of air.
Packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC)
An air conditioner and heater combined into a single, electrically-powered unit, typically installed through a wall and often found in hotels. It is a window unit.
R-410A Refrigerant
A chlorine free refrigerant that meets the EPA's newest, most stringent environmental guidelines.
A chemical that produces a cooling effect while expanding or vaporizing. Most residential air conditioning units contain the standard R-22 refrigerant, or Freon.
Roof-top unit (RTU)
An air-handling unit, defined as either "recirculating" or "once-through" design, made specifically for outdoor installation. They most often include, internally, their own heating and cooling devices. RTUs are very common in some regions, particularly in single-story commercial buildings.
Scroll Compressor
A specifically designed compressor that works in a circular motion, as opposed to up-and-down piston action.
The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio is an energy efficiency rating for air conditioners. The higher the SEER, the better the energy performance, the more you save. The DOE's established minimum SEER rating for cooling is 13.00.
Split System
An HVAC system in which some components are located inside the structure of the house and some are located outside. Split systems should be matched for optimal efficiency.
Two-Stage Operation
Provides two levels of heating or cooling output for greater temperature control, energy efficiency, and improved indoor air quality.
A method of partitioning a home into independently contolled comfort zones for enhanced comfort and efficiency.
