Life Insurance for people with brittle bone disease may be available with some insurance providers. Any application that you place for Life Insurance will need to detail the type of brittle bone disease that you have, when the condition was diagnosed, the frequency of your fractures and other symptoms, and any other secondary conditions that are present. The insurance provider will want to see a report from your GP to establish the severity of your condition; this is arranged at the insurers expense not your own. Where Life Insurance is available the terms of cover will be non-standard which means that the policy premiums will be increased in line with the severity of your condition. In severe cases it is possible that your application for Life Insurance with a specialist provider who can consider the cover.
Critical Illness Cover for people with brittle bone disease is generally unavailable. There is the potential that an insurer may consider your application if you have a mild form of the condition with few symptoms. Your application will be reviewed by the insurers senior medical underwriting team in order for them to determine if they are able to offer you any terms for Critical Illness Cover.
Income Protection for people with brittle bone disease will typically be unavailable. If your condition is mild and does not impact upon your ability to work then the insurer may consider your application for Income Protection. The insurers senior underwriting team will review your application to see if they are able to offer you terms for Income Protection.
Enquire about Income Protection
You may wish to consider Accident, Sickness and Unemployment Cover as an alternative to Income Protection. An Accident, Sickness and Unemployment policy will provide short-term income protection for between 12 and 24 months if you are unable to work due to disability, long-term illness and involuntary redundancy. Accident, Sickness and Unemployment policies are not medically underwritten which means that your medical history will have no bearing upon the policy acceptance terms. You should be fully ware that any claim placed on a policy such as this will exclude cover for any pre-existing medical conditions such as brittle bone disease.

Egyptians to mark first anniversary of anti-Mubarak revolt
Protesters prepared to spend the night in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Wednesday after a massive rally to mark one year since the launch of the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak, with activists vowing to revive their unfinished revolution.
The day had been labelled a celebration by the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) that took power when Mubarak was ousted last February.
Several pro-democracy groups in the square announced that they would begin a sit-in until Friday when another rally is planned.
Tens of thousands of Islamists, liberals, leftists and ordinary citizens packed the square, the epicentre of protests that ousted Mubarak, waving flags and bearing banners reflecting the day's varying messages.
The powerful Muslim Brotherhood, which dominates the newly elected parliament, were in Tahrir celebrating one year since Egyptians — inspired by an uprising in Tunisia — took to the streets to topple the regime.
But other groups, including pro-democracy movements behind the revolt, insisted they were in the square to reignite their revolution and demand the ouster of the military council that took over when Mubarak quit.
Several marches set off for Tahrir from different parts of Cairo, with the chant of "Down with military rule!" ringing out across the capital.
By late afternoon, the rally had occupied surrounding streets and bridges.
Tens of thousands also packed a waterfront square in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria, where the SCAF, headed by Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi, had planned a naval parade, as part of its efforts to restore its image after accusations of rights abuses.
Air shows in Cairo and fireworks displays nationwide were also planned.
In the canal city of Suez, more than 10,000 protesters gathered in the main square chanting: "From Suez to Tahrir, down with the Field Marshal."
"This is a demonstration, not a celebration," said Mustafa al-Masry, one of the leaders of a Suez-based revolutionary group.
Protesters also took to the streets in several provinces of the Nile Delta and in the Sinai peninsula, security officials said.
In Cairo, huge flags hovered over the protesters in Tahrir, where a military band attempted to entertain the crowds in the morning.
But calls of "Down, down with military rule" drowned out the music, forcing the band to be shuttled away by bus.
"We will keep going to Tahrir to push for the goals of the revolution, no matter what," said Hala Rashad, a 46-year-old chef.
"The military council has done nothing. They are behaving just like the old regime. We have not received our rights and the country is a mess," she said.
At the entrances to Tahrir, "popular committees" searched protesters after the interior ministry said there would be no police presence in the squares where large celebrations were taking place.
Youths from the Muslim Brotherhood told AFP they were in the square to demonstrate, not celebrate, despite an announcement by the group it would not be pushing for "a second revolution."
The big question, reflected in the headline of the state-owned weekly Al-Ahram Hebdo, remains "Who will capture the soul of the revolution?"
On Tuesday, Tantawi announced the partial lifting of a hated decades-old emergency law, in an apparent bid to placate protesters, but said the law would still apply to acts of "thuggery."
Activists called the move cosmetic, denouncing the term "thuggery" as a way to maintain the police's wide powers of arrest.
"January 25 is the first anniversary of the day when Egyptians stood up together to demand an end to police abuse and the state of emergency," said Joe Stork, deputy Middle East director at Human Rights Watch.
"It is an insult to all those calling for a return to the rule of law to make excuses to keep this state of emergency, used abusively for so many years, in place," he said.
The SCAF, which on Wednesday began releasing almost 3,000 prisoners to mark the occasion, called on Egyptians to "preserve the spirit of January 25, which united the Egyptian people, men and women, young and old, Muslims and Christians."
But protesters say the revolution has been hijacked by Tantawi, Mubarak's long-time defence minister.
They want him and the ruling generals to step down immediately and to stay out of drafting Egypt's new constitution, for fear they may enshrine military powers into it.
The military council has vowed to cede power to civilian rule when a president is elected by June.
Security forces say they are on alert for "any attempts to sabotage" the celebration, a thinly veiled warning to protesters.
Amnesty International said the military rulers must protect protesters and uphold the right to peaceful assembly, after the interior minister's announcement that the police would be withdrawn.
"Rather than abandoning the sites of planned demonstrations, the security forces must act responsibly by ensuring that everyone can safely exercise their right to peaceful expression and assembly," said Hassiba Hadj-Sahraoui, the rights group's Middle East and North Africa deputy director.
Mubarak himself will mark the anniversary from a bed in a Cairo military hospital, accused of involvement in the killing of protesters during the uprising.
If found guilty, the former president of 30 years could face the death penalty.

When Justin Timberlake released "The 20/20 Experience" five years ago, after years of anticipation by fans, the album opened with 968,000 sales and went on to become 2013's top seller.
But after mixed reviews of the album and of his Super Bowl performance, and without a big hit single, the album's opening was less of a blockbuster, with the equivalent of 293,000 sales in the United States, according to Nielsen. That includes 242,000 copies sold of the complete album and 55 million streams.
Still, that was more than enough to give Timberlake his fourth No. 1, and aside from Taylor Swift's "Reputation" — which opened with more than 1 million sales — it had the best start of any album since Pink's "Beautiful Trauma" in October.
Also this week, Migos' "Culture II," last week's top album, fell to No. 2 with the equivalent of 88,000 sales — virtually all of that tally from streaming, with 117 million streams last week and fewer than 6,000 copies of the album sold.
The soundtrack to "The Greatest Showman" fell one spot to No. 3, Ed Sheeran's "÷" is in fourth place, and Bruno Mars' "24K Magic" is No. 5.

It was the enormous window that sold me on this office, as well as the fact that (though in an ancient building) the space was in like-new condition.
You might not think the view would amount to much, but near the window the sideways views are pretty decent, especially in weird weather, or when the daylight fails, and the buildings outside begin to light up.
The Fisher Building is quite a glorious thing, with a facade fairly encrusted with fancy old glazed brick and terra-cotta. To be honest, I waste time looking at it each day.
What I have is a real urban view—with nary a tree or blade of grass in sight—but with enough atmosphere to give a Dreiser novel like Sister Carrie a run for its money.

I am a pioneer in the field of Repurpose ~ Salvage ~ Flea Market Finds that is all the rage in the 21st century.. I have been repurposing most of my life. I've always been drawn to flea market decor nothing in my home matches my style is what is call eclectic, or boho.. and most items needed a little tweeking.
As an Anteeker, I am happy to see young folks interest in saving another mans junk from being tossed aside. Repurposing brings new life to these discarded items.
All those French Provincial Dressers of the 1950s and 60s are being painted, altered, and repurosed into entertainment centers, sideboards and even vanities.. Think of all the wood we are saving !
I used to be opposed to painting furniture, but during a thrifting adventure I came upon a very loved and distressed buffet circa 1930s.. The veneer was damages, the drawers were coming apart and a center leg had been broken, yet the thrift shop wanted $80.00, hum a bit pricey for such a project.. Just when I was going to walk past this relic, a girls voice came over the loud speaker, today is senior 50% day ! Whoo Hoo I grabbed the ticket and headed for the checkout, at $40 I took a gamble..
The next day I took my Husband with me to pick up my treasure, Hubs is an excellent wood worker.. with his help I knew we could do something great with this lost gem.
Once home Hubs, took the drawers out and rebuilt them making them sturdy and better than new.. He then tackled the leg this too was an easy fix for him, if done correctly you can restore any wood furniture making it stable once again. The finish was too bad to restore, so I chose to paint instead.
This was my first venture into chalk paint, I did a google search and the price of paint was out off the charts.. Instead I went to the hardware store purchased a gallon of paint from the contractor reject isle only $7.00. I found the recipe to make my own chalk paint and went at it. I chose to paint the buffet black, the paint went on so easy no prep except to remove hardware from the drawers..
Once dry I did a light sanding and then a wax finish. I have to say it was an amazing transformation and so easy.. I forgot to take a picture of the before, you have to trust me this furniture piece was very distressed and looked beyond help. This buffet sold in one day for $285.00 and now may be used for another 80 years!
Now mind you I still do not like to paint wood furniture but if its an item beyond restoration I approve..

December 31st, 2013 / June 21st, 2017
Society, Media & Culture
Libya's population is largely homogenous, with an overwhelmingly Arab community, in addition to small minorities of Berbers, Tuareg and Toubou – who formed the original inhabitants pushed out by the arrival of Arab conquerors in the 7th century CE. The Arab culture subsequently became dominant. In many aspects, Libya is a traditional society. Culturally, Libya forms part of a larger region. During the four decades of dicatorship under the Gaddafi regime, writers, journalists and artists were severely restricted in their freedom of expression. After the fall of the regime the new found freedom was fully embraced.

I have a lazy, lazy dog. She never moves at all.
She sleeps all day, then all night, never coming when I call.
I have a lazy, lazy dog. She just lays there all the day.
But she really is quite well behaved if I tell her, "Stay!"
Yesterday I had a wonderful day with my babies. Sophie made me lunch and served it to me. Noah made himself a sandwich and ate it next to me. Then he vacuumed and put laundry away. What more could a mother ask for?? All I wanted to do yesterday was hang out with the kids. So we all just lounged, watched some tv, hung out on the deck, Sophie and I ran to the store and got frisbees, balls, etc to play outside and had fun playing catch trying to get to the balls we missed before the dogs did.
I would have pictures, but I left my camera up in Athens when Best Boyfriend Ever visited this lovely lady and her hubbie and new baby. Her baby is officially the CUTEST BABY EVER and for the first time in a looong time my ovaries said, "Hey! Let's make one of those!!" To which I promptly responded, "Hey, you two down there, shutuppa your faces!" and then had a shot of tequila to keep 'em quiet. Seriously, she is mushy and cute and has those thighs you just wanna gnaw on and she SMILES that devilishly cute smile that makes people without children that are thinking about having one think, "Oh my gosh! Look how cute, honey! They look like so much fun and I know, let's have one!!" And then you go home and that baby looks at her mom and says, "Phew, it was hard being so cute and charming all day. Now for some reality. I just pooped again even though you just changed me and oh, and by the way, I don't plan on sleeping until Tuesday and I plan on crying for the next two hours about nothing in particular. Have fun!"
But really, this baby could be the exception to the rule. Ya know why? Cause she can sleep through Rock Band. Yuh huh. Right in her little pack and play next to me screaming my little heart out that, yes indeed, "I'm a Cowboy" along with Bon Jovi. So yeah, I am totally addicted to Rock Band! Even though I failed out on all three instruments except for the singing (which I TOTALLY got over 90% on over and over again) so I got sing the whole time!! Woohoo!! I love me some Rock Band. I think I know what I will be doing with my stimulis money from Uncle Sam. Screw the patio furniture we were going to get. Cause I'm a cowboy and cowboys need to rock!

Bird Response to Climate-smart Restoration in the San Joaquin Valley
(Above) Point Blue staff conduct bird surveys in restored fields at Dos Rios Ranch in 2015
Habitat loss in California has severely impacted birds and other wildlife species, and climate change is predicted to worsen the situation. As a result, many large-scale habitat restoration projects are designed to target bird populations in addition to flood safety, carbon sequestration, public recreation, and other benefits. As habitat is restored and its quality improves, birds quickly respond as evidenced by improvements in both the number of species and the size of their populations.
As a benchmark for successful riparian habitat restoration, the Central Valley Joint Venture has developed quantitative objectives, including total number of acres restored and densities of 12 riparian focal bird species. Focal species are those associated with important habitat elements or ecosystem attributes, as well as those species with special conservation needs. By achieving these objectives, we advance toward the long-term goal of riparian ecosystems that can support healthy populations of birds and other wildlife, and which will be more resilient to climate change and other environmental stressors. By monitoring bird populations from the beginning of a restoration project, progress toward these objectives can be measured as the project matures, and the project can be evaluated in terms of creating habitat for focal species.
At our 2,100 ac. Dos Rios Ranch project in Stanislaus County, River Partners has contracted Point Blue Conservation Science to conduct bird surveys to assess restoration success. Tom Gardali, Director of Point Blue's Pacific Coast and Central Valley Group notes "Our work with River Partners over the past several decades has illustrated the utility of bird monitoring to demonstrate project success and has evolved into designing restoration projects that are prepared for the consequences of climate change."
The first phase of restoration at Dos Rios Ranch includes 198 acres planted in 2013 and 402 acres planted in 2014. In May and June of 2015, Point Blue ecologists conducted bird surveys in the area planted in 2013, during which all birds seen and heard were recorded. After only two growing seasons, a total of 29 species were detected, including seven Central Valley Joint Venture riparian focal species: Ash-throated Flycatcher, Black-headed Grosbeak, Common Yellowthroat, Nuttall's Woodpecker, Song Sparrow, Spotted Towhee, and Yellow Warbler.
Based on average species densities in the Central Valley, Point Blue researchers would typically expect that approximately 3,300 individuals of the riparian focal species could use the 600 acres planted in the first phase. However, researchers consider the restored riparian habitat at Dos Rios Ranch to be of well-above average quality. Therefore, if the Central Valley Joint Venture's density objectives are achieved, Dos Rios Ranch could potentially support >4,500 individuals of focal riparian species in the first phase alone, and >15,000 individuals in the entire 2,100 ac. project. Preliminary estimates derived from this year's surveys suggest that 1,700 individuals are already present, which is more than 50% of the long-term goal based on average species densities. In the coming years, we all look forward to tracking the arrival of new species, changes in population sizes, and progress toward meeting the full potential of this multi-benefit restoration project.

Can Hardly Wait
New Year, New Me...
um, surrrrrre 😏
as long as I remember how I was created before I jump into new things.
I could aim for the sky right off the bat...but miss the point if I'm overburdened with more responsibility and stress than I'm equipped to handle.
I think I'll take the new year in single days...like God intended, and make decisions along the way.
If I know me though, I'm gonna overreach now and again....and this sentiment will apply. 😆
(stamp: Dylusions Laugh Til You Leak dies:My Favorite Things Tree-mendous/Pierced Square Stax,Avery Elle Double Pierced Rectangle)
Love the gold accents and purplish backdrop in this photo~
These challenges encourage using new products:
(make something new)
I cracked open the stamp set, trees and squares I gifted myself with over the busy holidays.
I've noticed something....when I'm too busy to craft I buy items to craft with.
My word.
I'm gonna try and remember my bought goodies when I'm tempted at craft stores this year.
I'm grateful for the challenges that motivate me to USE the products I buy.
Cuz...new year, new me, right?!

The paper said that Nongfu's bottled water contains higher chemical level above the national standards. In fact the water allows as much as 0,05 milligrams arsenic per liter while national standards set the level at less than 0,01 milligrams.
Nongfu's water denied these revelations and sued the paper.
The two brand want to be seen as quality products offering 1,5 liter bottle, with price set at 2,5rmb.
As I told you, consequence of the multiple scandals, it becomes more and more difficult for companies and for the central government to win back Chinese consumers trust. Also this loss in trust from Chinese customers touches most consumers (and not only wealthy educated customers) .
Still Nongfu water is a huge group...
It found some parade for this loss of confidence from customers:
Customers don't trust Nongfu water... never mind, the group can focus more on its other products: juices, vitamine water...

Three Young Israelis Missing — Palestinians Trying to Hold All of Israel Hostage?
[This article by Yossi Melman, co-author of Spies Against Armageddon, was written for the website of the 24-hour privately owned TV news service from Israel, i24news.tv .]
As time goes by, the chances of finding the three missing Israeli yeshiva students — who were probably kidnapped by Palestinian terrorists in the West Bank on Thursday — grow slim. The efforts to trace them are now focusing on intelligence reports. Israel's Security Agency (Shin Bet) and the military's intelligence agency (Aman) are utilizing all possible means to find the missing students, including human resources and agents as well as through the interception of communications.
There are five possible scenarios for the fate of the Israelis and where they might be. Incidentally Israeli officials are also at dark
- They are alive.
- They are dead and buried.
- If they are alive, they may have been smuggled to a safe shelter in Gaza or even better (from the kidnappers' perspective) to the Sinai Peninsula.
- They are in a safe house in the West Bank.
- They are somewhere else in the West Bank.
Never before in the bloody history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict were three Israelis kidnapped in a single terrorist attack. So far, all indicators point to a well-planned and professionally-executed operation. The kidnappers likely persuaded or forced the students who were hitchhiking to get into their car. This scenario is quite probable as past precedents have shown that previous kidnappers posed as Israelis, and these abductors probably spoke fluent Hebrew with no accent and wore typical Israeli clothes (maybe even typical of orthodox Jews).
An unknown Salafist organization from Hebron took responsibility for the operation. But the announcement may well be just a decoy, a kind of disinformation created in order to conceal the true identity of those who are behind the attack. Therefore, it should be regarded with suspicion. The burnt car that was discovered in the vicinity could also just be a distraction.
For now, the prime suspects are Hamas and the Islamic Jihad who have both in recent years attempted to launch kidnapping operations, which were all thankfully foiled. But the timing of this incident is bad for Hamas. Just a few weeks ago the militant group joined a national unity government led by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Claiming responsibility for the kidnapping would greatly embarrass Abbas and the Palestinian Authority.
Eventually, those who truly initiated and carried out the kidnappings will step out into the open by publishing a statement taking responsibility for the crime and presenting their demands.
Israeli security sources are confident that the operation is aimed at bargaining with Israel to release Palestinian terrorists from Israeli jails. For the past 30 years, kidnapping soldiers and civilians has proven to be the most effective tool for Palestinians. Subsequent Israeli governments promised to never surrender to terrorism and caved in time after time, releasing thousands of terrorists in the process (many of them who had been serving life sentences for murder).
Three years ago Israel was forced to free more than 1000 terrorists in exchange for the release of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, who was kidnapped near Gaza by Hamas. As a result of the public outcry that ensued regarding the heavy price paid by Israel, the government set up a special committee to come up with recommendations for similar scenarios in the future. In the end, the committee recommended that Israel draw "red lines" so as to minimize the cost of prisoner swaps: Israeli bodies would be exchanged for Palestinian bodies and not living terrorists, for each soldier kidnapped Israel would release just a handful of terrorists and not dozens.
But Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu's cabinet never adopted the recommendations out of fear that its negotiating power and maneuvering space would be limited in the future.
It seems that the moment of truth has arrived. If the kidnapped students are alive and currently being held by terrorists and if a military rescue operation is not viable, Netanyahu will have to make a tough decision under pressure from families and the public to once again release hundreds of terrorists.

Watch the thriller "Fungus Meets Algae" by clicking here.
Besides growing on rocks, lichen also settle on bark, bones, discarded antlers, old, metal artifacts and even dung!
With more than a 1,000s of its kind growing in North America, Lichen is the most dominant plant of the continent. One of the oldest and toughest plants on earth, this strange hardy plant is actually the number one player in the plant world with roughly 20,000 of its kind worldwide.
See, you can kind of think of the lichen as a living prison cell. Inside this tough adaptable plant structure lives an algae which is kind of prisoner of a fungus -- a relationship biologists call controlled parasitism. Most lichens are three-layered organisms, with an algae layer sandwiched between two layers of fungus. The chlorophyll-rich algae produces the food (sugar) for the fungus through photosynthesis.
Try this fun 1, 2, 3 on Lichens.
Click here to discover the many shapes of Lichens.
Though it may seem as an odd way of living it apparently works great. Some lichens are thousands of years old, having lived since the earliest days of human civilization. This actually makes lichen a great tool for scientists!
Scientists use lichens to estimate when glaciers disappeared! Lichens are colonizers, meaning they are always the first to move into new areas, and they do so fast.
As the glaciers recede, lichen move into the terrain almost instantly. Scientists have a very good idea of HOW fast the lichens grow and then can measure the size of this colonizer, and from there figure, the disappearance of glaciers -- In Canada, they found some lichen that had been there for more than 5,000 years!
Another good use of Lichens is as sensitive indicators of air quality. Lichen have no roots so they take all their moisture and nutritionist from the air and are therefore very sensitive to air pollution, especially automobile exhaust. In their early life stages, they do not tolerate lead; they also retain and register the effects of other heavy metals. For decades, scientists have monitored the health of lichens in order to track effects of acid rain. One place where it proved very helpful was Sweden.

Robot choosing helpful actions through affordance aware planning
In order for a robot to plan in realistic, fine grained state spaces, novel planning algorithms need to leverage knowledge inherent to the current task. This robot has been programming with knowledge about making recipes, specifically brownies, and needs to decide which tool would be helpful for the human at each time step.
Mobile Manipulation Challenge at ICRA 2012
Formed of students from Europe and the US, Team World participated in the Mobile Manipulation Challenge hosted by Willow Garage at ICRA 2012. The goal of the challenge was for the PR2 to autonomously clear dishes from a table, set the table (not implemented), pick up objects from a rotating table, and set them on the table. We worked over several days at ICRA to combine several code bases together to achieve what is shown in the video. Special thanks to Jihoon Lee (Brown), Stephen Bellens and Koen Buys of KU Leuven and Thomas Reuhr from TU München. Also, personal thanks to Chad Jenkins for the opportunity to participate.
PR2Con Sushi Challenge
As a team of students, we participated in a hackathon at PR2Con hosted by the University of Freiburg and Willow Garage. Our team's goal was to program the robot to efficiently clear and set a table. The robot was to carry a tray to the table, stack the dishes on the tray and carry them away. To setup the table, the robot was to carry a set of clean dishes to the table, unstack them and set them in place. We were able to implement a significant portion of this behavior in the five days we had. Special thanks to Koen Buys (KU Leuven), Andreas Hertle and Jürgen Hess of (Freiburg) and Agata Kargol (Washington University). Also, personal thanks to Chad Jenkins for the opportunity to participate.
PR2 Commander, Brown - MIT Hackathon
The Brown Robotics lab hacked with a couple of researchers from MIT to integrate the natural language processing work of Stefanie Tellex, now Professor of CS at Brown, with the block manipulation capabilities developed previously at Brown. Thanks to Stefanie Tellex, Sam Prentice, Arjun Arumbakkam, Trevor Jay, Jihoon Lee, Jonathan Mace, Aaron Silverman, Evan Wallace and Chad Jenkins for the fun collaborative effort.
Brown PR2 Block Builder Hackathon
The Brown Robotics lab completed a 4-day hackathon to get the PR2 to build block castles created using a simple web-based client. We made heavy use of the PR2 object manipulation pipeline for the object manipulation and stacking. Thanks to Jihoon Lee, Jonathan Mace, Chris Crick, Arjun Arumbakkam, Trevor Jay and Chad Jenkins for the great hacking experience.

There is nothing better than relaxing outside on a deck at night…unless it's pitch black and you can't see the person you are talking to. This is one of the main reasons I decided to figure out a way to hang strings of LED cafe lights around our back deck. The problem was, I didn't have any way to attach the lights. No walls or trees or posts to make my desire for nighttime ambiance to come true. So I decided to figure out how to do it myself. But I had specific requirements.
For starters, I didn't want whatever my final design was to be something permanent. I wanted to be able to take it down during the winter rainy season to protect the lights. Also, I wanted a way to easily eliminate a bunch of posts sticking into the air when we didn't have the lights mounted. That was my primary requirement.

Hosting Reseller
A hosting reseller service is a possibility for the average user to make profit on the World Wide Web by selling the hosting storage space offered by a specific hosting firm. Most commonly, the web hosting suppliers offer white label hosting reseller solutions, meaning that the users resell the hosting solutions on behalf of their very own personal brand. How it is all rendered feasible and what the various kinds of reseller plans are, you will uncover in this story.
How does reseller web hosting operate and what are the various reseller web hosting types?
The manner in which reseller web hosting functions depends on the strategy of the hosting distributor, which delivers the service. The most widespread kind of reseller hosting account is the cPanel/WHM one. With it, you allocate the web space, which your reseller account includes, between your clients using the Web Host Manager CP. With it, you may set up different web hosting plans and cPanel web hosting user accounts for your clients. With such a setup, the reseller has to take care of the billing and customer support provision. Nevertheless, this too is dependent on the policy of the web hosting corporation. A different variety of web hosting reseller solution is the Free Reseller Program provided by Resellers Panel. With it, you select your own personal retail prices for the offered hosting plans, and for each and every deal that you generate, the fellows from Resellers Panel will give you a commission, which is essentially the difference between the retail and the wholesale prices. With this reseller hosting solution, ResellersPanel.com provides customer support to the end customers, which may be quite convenient if you do not want to be fully immersed in the reseller web hosting business. Certainly, there might be various variations, but in most occasions, you pay a monthly tax for a given hosting server disk storage space, which you need to distribute among your customers.
What kinds of hosting solutions can be resold via a reseller hosting account?
The typical reseller web hosting solution merely allows the resellers to resell shared web hosting accounts. That's simply because the majority of reseller hosting accounts are in fact shared accounts, which offer more functionalities. Just like with a shared hosting server, most service providers offering a cPanel/WHM reseller solution have a lot of reseller web hosting user accounts sharing one and the same server. That is why, the resellers are not bestowed with complete root access to the web server configuration files, which means that the sole hosting service that they may provide are shared accounts. This, however, refers solely to the cPanel/WHM-based reseller hosting services and again, it is determined by the approach that the hosting firm has embraced towards these services. If the reseller has a bigger budget, he can provide diverse solutions like private virtual server web hosting plans or dedicated hosting accounts under his very own private brand name and get more customers interested in the solutions that he is offering. Surely, that will imply that the reseller will be responsible for the client support provision, since no host will desire to provide technical support to the end clients of such a web hosting solution. Another way to offer more than just standard shared hosting packages is to subscribe with the abovementioned Free Reseller Program, which ResellersPanel has created. With it, the resellers are able to resell Virtual Private Server hosting packages, semi-dedicated servers and dedicated web server packages, together with shared hosting plans, without the need to purchase any of the web hosting services beforehand. That's the easiest and safest way to resell hosting plans over the Internet, as it involves no upfront taxes and you don't need to be technically advanced, because you won't get involved in providing client and invoicing support. Depending on the hosting service provider's approach, there might be different extra hosting solutions, which the web hosting reseller may offer, including domain registrations, Secure Sockets Layer certificates, domain name ID protection solutions, and so on. Therefore, before subscribing for anything, one should first determine what precisely the hosting reseller account of the concrete web hosting services provider has to offer.
"Which hosting vendor should I pick?"
There is quite an easy reply to that inquiry. When selecting a hosting account, it's always better to select an experienced company, which has been around for several years, and which provides web site hosting services around the world. Such hosting firms can be easily spotted by the manner in which they are providing their web hosting plans. An experienced web host will not merely offer carefully balanced hosting and reseller hosting services, but it will also offer functionalities that are solely theirs and that separate them from all the other hosting distributors. For example, ResellersPanel.com has not only set up a unique reseller program where you don't have to pay in order to resell their hosting solutions, but ResellersPanel.com has also invented its own hosting Control Panel. The quality of the team that works for a given hosting packages provider is extremely important and exerts a large influence on the quality of the solutions that are being provided, while custom-built functionalities testify that the hosting plans provider has proficient, practiced web developers. The quality of the hosting service makes a difference when you're registering for a reseller account. It's much easier to migrate one website than to transfer several client accounts, if you ever find it necessary to change the reseller web hosting provider. Hence, one should pick carefully prior to putting their trust in a particular web hosting firm.

Founded in 1946, the British Residents' Association of Switzerland (BRA) is a non profit organisation, for British, Commonwealth and Irish Citizens.
The Association organises numerous cultural, recreational, and social events in each of its regions for the benefit of its members.
The BRA also promotes friendship between its members and the people of Switzerland, helping the membership to know Switzerland's different regional cultures and assisting them to integrate into Swiss life.
We look forward to meeting you soon at one of our regional events.
Alan Baker, new Chairman for Romandie West.
Michael Bruce, having been advised to reduce his activities, retired as Chairman of Romandie West (RW) at the AGM in May. However, having started the "project" of planning that region's 2018 Queen's Birthday Party, he saw it through to a successful conclusion. Many thanks are due to Michael for stepping into the gap a couple of years ago at the head of RW and for doing much to build up good relations with a large number of like-minded associations in the area. Good news is that there is no vacuum at the top of RW. We are fortunate that ALAN BAKER, a strong BRA member, has agreed to take over the helm of the region. Alan is a popular 'activist' in the Leman area and is known more widely in Switzerland as Vice-Chairman of the RAFA Swiss Branch and a former Royal British Legion Committee member. He was co-opted onto the BRA Council at its meeting in June and is already beavering away, planning how to help the BRA meet the challenges of remaining relevant and interesting in this busy region. We wish Alan well in his new post and I encourage all to support him and his team in […]
BRA Policy on Security of Your Personal Data
Recently the Western world has had a flurry of activity caused by the introduction of the E.U.'s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), with threats of €20 million fines if we all do not strictly comply with this one-size-fits-all law. Although the BRA is based in Switzerland and is regulated by the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection, we cannot ignore the GDPR if only because some members (like me) live in France. Consequently, like other organisations whether the size of Airbus or the local croquet team, we have had a look at how we handle personal information and how we will need to adapt some of our procedures. In essence, we are writing down and publishing in the form below what has been an implicit BRA privacy policy; spelling-out the means that we use to contact you; and making all of that obvious on the application form for those joining in future. If you are happy with the way BRA looks after your personal data and communicates with you, you need do nothing. If you have queries about the information about you we hold, ask Noreen or myself. If you want to restrict some or all of your personal data […]
BREXIT UPDATE, 21 December 2017
I have received the message below from Jane Owens, the new UK Ambassador who took up her post on 18th December. Ms Owen's aim is to let British Residents know the state of progress on their rights after Brexit. I will be meeting her at the Embassy on 12 January and will emphasize the importance of this matter to BRA. I would appreciate you letting me know of any concerns that I should bring to the notice of the Embassy. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/message-from-the-british-ambassador-to-british-citizens-living-in-switzerland-and-liechtenstein In the meantime, I would like to wish you a Happy Christmas and a peaceful and fulfilling 2018. Graham Robertson National Chairman
"The BRA NEEDS YOU to do your bit"
"The BRA NEEDS YOU to do your bit" At the 2017 AGM there was a discussion as to the merits of offering one year's free membership to those members who successfully introduced a new BRA member. Your Council has decided to continue this incentive until December 2018. WE NEED NEW MEMBERS. Go out into the valleys, rolling meadows, towns, villages, and uplands of Switzerland and seek new members. The BRA will not survive without new " blood ". Don't rely on your Council. You must play your part too, so as to ensure that the BRA prospers for the foreseeable future. Succeed, and your 2019 annual subscription will be ZERO. Lord Kitchener in World War One said " Your country needs you ". Similarly, the BRA needs you to do your " bit " so that it can survive and flourish.

Come Together and Comment Forever in Your Indefinitely Infinite Open Thread
Every comment is a brick in the bridge to whatever comes next for us.
I lost my glasses and my wallet this week, but I still managed to put adequate pressure on these lovely xoJaners to write about all these timely topics. Despite my unusually firm leadership skills this week, there were a lot of of-the-moment topics we wanted to cover and just couldn't get to. Which of these topics are you bummed to see missing? What do we need to talk about right now in the comments? Gogogogogogogogo!

Whether you are an actor, a professional model or a corporate executive; your headshot represents an investment and it's critical that it helps you achieve the results you are after. Together we can make a formidable team - and headshots are definitely a team effort! That's why it's important we both have a good understanding of the desired result and that everyone involved is able to work towards that outcome. To help in the process I've prepared a few notes that cover the most frequently asked questions...
What to wear? What to bring? and What to do?
|What to Wear...
~Wear or bring the clothes that will help you achieve the look you are after. For example, character actors need to think about the roles they wish to pursue. Executives and professionals may look great in a baseball cap and tee-shirt but it's probably not the best look for a corporate website
~Wear clothes that look good and make you feel good. Nobody needs a headshot where they look stressed and uncomfortable
~Keep things simple. The headshot is about you and the way you look. The clothes are not the focus, they should just help you achieve the 'look' you're after and certainly not overwhelm you
~With simplicity in mind it's usually best to keep jewelry conservative and for actor headshots jewelry should be avoided unless it's for a particular character
~Solid colors work best so avoid intricate patterns and plaid. Also, definitely avoid anything with a logo
~Darker colors tend to photograph very well but ultimately you should wear the colors that you look best in
~Solid white can be difficult to work with against a white or high-key background so it's often better to break it up with another layer or an accessory
~Make sure your clothes look their best. This means clean and pressed when appropriate
|What to Bring...
~Make sure you bring a brush or a comb - even if you have chosen to have a hair and makeup stylist present, sometimes you just feel you need to adjust your hair yourself
~Ladies in particular, bring your own makeup even if you have a stylist. You want to look and feel your best, which may be a challenge if your favorite shade of lipstick isn't available
~Bring the clothes you want to be photographed in. Also, bring the clothes you might want to be photographed in. It's better to bring too many clothes than not enough - options will give you confidence
~If you intend to be photographed with props, such as musical instruments etc, make sure you bring them and that they are complete
~A shoot may last several hours so bring a snack and anything else you may need to maintain your energy levels. Bottled water is provided
|What to Do...
~Take the time to think about how you want the photographs to look and what they need to achieve. As the photographer I can help you with that process and I'm available to have that conversation before you turn up for the shoot.
~Get plenty of rest leading up to your shoot. You will certainly look better for it and a photoshoot, even a single-look corporate headshot, requires a surprising amount of effort
~Avoid alcohol for twenty-four hours before. It can make your skin and especially your eyes lose their luster
~Stay hydrated. You will definitely look and feel better if you keep your electrolytes in check so think about bringing a sports drink
~Avoid salty or heavily processed foods the day before as they can make your skin puffy
~Don't have your hair cut for at least a week before the shoot so that your style settles in and you are used to managing it
~Arrive ready to have some fun and try to enjoy the process because it really shows in the photos. The opposite is also true so don't get stressed out!

Are you ready to farm or homestead? You can learn from experience, but before you start raising livestock, you should understand what to expect. If you've already started reading, researching and asking questions, you probably know the answers to at least some of these questions. Either way, you're sure to learn something new from the questions below.
1. Why are genetically hornless cattle and sheep referred to as polled?
The "poll" refers to the top of the head between the ears, which is where horns typically originate. Livestock may be either horned (with horns growing from the poll) or hornless (although occasionally small horns, called scurs, may be present). Those animals without horns are referred to as polled because the top of their heads are exposed.
2. What causes a hen to go broody?
A hen's desire to hatch eggs is induced by elevated progesterone levels caused by a complex interaction among genetics, physiology and environmental stimuli. To encourage a hen to sit on eggs, isolate her from the flock and give her a secluded nest with several eggs.
3. My pigs insist on eating dirt. Is this a problem?
No, your pigs are practicing the art of "rooting" and will obtain all kinds of essential nutrients and minerals through the process.
4. Do I have to inject my newborn piglets with iron?
No, not if they were born on pasture or on dirt. Piglets will usually get all the iron they need from eating soil, but there's generally no harm in giving them an iron injection even when they have access to soil.
5. I want to keep sheep but don't want the hassle of shearing. What can I do?
You should select a true hair breed such as the Katahdin; these animals will shed on their own each year.
6. Do goats really eat tin cans?
No, goats are naturally inquisitive and can be mischievous, which translates to the likelihood that they'll play with virtually any object in their pen. They usually don't eat tin cans, but could become quite ill from large pieces of metal they ingest.
7. What's the difference between hay and alfalfa?
Hay is produced by cutting plant material and letting it air-dry before baling or stacking. Alfalfa is a legume forage plant that is high in protein. You can make alfalfa hay, but not all hay contains alfalfa.
8. My cow has a fluid-filled balloon extending from beneath her tail. Does she need my help?
Probably not, assuming she was with a bull about nine months ago. In early- to mid-stages of labor, part of the amniotic sac will often precede the calf, particularly when the water has not yet broken.
9. My cow has been in labor for several hours, and I can only see the calf's nose and one front hoof. Should I assist?
Yes, most likely the other front leg is trailing back and the calf is stuck. If possible, restrain the cow using a head gate, and carefully push the calf back in until you can reach the reversed leg and work it forward. Once you have both legs and the nose presenting, you might still need to assist by pulling (with the cow's contractions, preferably) if the cow's contractions have subsided or are very weak.
10. How can I keep my hogs from rubbing on the fences, which breaks them down?
The best solution for this problem is to install a single strand of electric fencing on the inside of the existing fence. Also consider sinking a heavy scratch post inside the pen — maybe a tree trunk with the bark on it, if you have one.
This is an interesting article, with good information, but it's concerning that it is formatted as a do-it-yourself guide... This is absolutely NOT an appropriate forum for "homesteaders" to learn about raising livestock, especially something as complex and involved as cows calving! I think the growing awareness about raising and caring for our own food production, whether plant or animal based is wonderful, but it is dangerous (and unfair to the living creatures we raise) to think that someone running a backyard homestead can learn the farming skills it takes years and years to obtain through websites or books. Re-frame this as a just-in-case-you-were-wondering article, and I give it a thumbs up!

The second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States—after tobacco smoke—is invisible and odorless radon gas, which is blamed for 20,000 lung cancer deaths . Unlike smoking, it's not something people expose themselves to intentionally. The radioactive element uranium is ubiquitous, albeit in small amounts, in soil, an is gradually decomposes into radon, which naturally occurs in gaseous form. In 1985, scientists realized that this gas comes into homes through the foundation, which is generally slightly porous. In some cases, the building materials can emit radon—this is seldom enough to cause problems, but it can add to the radon from the soil. Whatever the source, it gets trapped by the walls and roof. It can't be seen or smelled, but it can be spotted with radon testing kits.
It is estimated that one in 15 American homes has what is considered to be a high level of radon, more than 4 picocuries per liter of air. Picocuries per liter is the measurement of the concentration of a radioactive substance, based on the radioactive decay of radium, which Marie and Pierre Curie studied. Excess radon gas can cause cancer. Radon is the most common cause of lung cancer among non-smokers—more than secondhand smoke—and one reason for this is that secondhand smoke can be seen and often avoided, while radon gas cannot be.
That is why home testing is so important. Winter, when the doors and windows are closed, is ordinarily the season of peak radon concentration, meaning if radon levels are not dangerously high in the winter they are unlikely to be dangerously hi in other parts of the year. Test kits are available, for short-term testing over a period of to days to three months, or long-term testing that can be longer than that. The reason even short-term testing can last so long is that the intention is to get an average radon level over time.
There's no way to completely remove radon gas from the home; there's always be some around. However sealing up cracks in and near the foundation can help prevent more from entering, and ventilation can help get out what is already there. Specialized radon reduction can can even be installed that is designed to get radon gas out of the home.

Things have been really crazy these past few days. So, instead of just staying in my room and thinking about all the problems, I got on my bike and just drove round town. Before sunset, I found myself driving towards the South Road Properties. I was on my way to Talisay when I saw some cars parked in front of those rows of benches facing the viaduct. I found out that vehicles are now allowed to park there and that people can stay there until a few hours after sunset. So, that was exactly what I did. I made a U-turn and parked my bike in front of one of the benches. I sat there quietly and just absorbed the sight in front of me. I didn't think about my troubles. I didn't think about uncertainty and fear and self-pity. I simply cleared my mind of worries. And I 'escaped'.

A new consumer survey has brought into light the aspects about a brand that appeal to the Indian consumers. The survey found that Indians have an affinity towards brands that embody success and luxury. Mercedes, Apple, Microsoft and Sony remain some of the most desirable brands in the country and the top 10 list makes it evident that the consumer just cannot get enough of them.
The list of the brands in order of their desirability, Microsoft, BMW, Google, Apple, Adidas, Mercedes, Audi, Disney, Sony and IBM, makes it clear that only the companies that have been around for years and have been ingrained in the minds of the public have made to the list.
Growth drivers
The survey states that the massive middle class demographic in the country, which has been reaping the fruits of resurgent India has been targeted by the brands with an appeal that speaks of achievement, success and pride. It adds that the Indian consumer is looking for brands that are confident, modern and ambitious in their approach.
The Brand Desire survey was conducted by Clear, part of the M&C Saatchi Group. According to Clear Singapore managing director Charlotte Wilkinson's press statement, the Brand Desire survey is aimed to understand the causes that makes one brand more successful than another in the Indian and Chinese markets as well as across the world. He explained that despite the differences, there were certain similarities in the way the consumers sought out branded products and services. While the Indian consumers preferred brands that are hard working and practical in appeal, their Chinese counterparts wanted ones that allowed them to express themselves better.
The survey covered more than 22,000 people across six global markets and 555 brands. In India and China, around 5000 consumers were covered under this study.

Well, this one certainly starts out interesting. A blurred image of two people having sex comes into focus, revealing two women going at it. Ok… I am intrigued. This scene is trailed by a man storming into the house, brutally beating up one of the girls and chopping off all of her fingers. Then the man is shown naked, in a desert, where he drops dead (I think), scattering his bag of fingers around him. All this happens within the first five minutes of the film. This opening sequence is very bloody and extremely vicious. I think I'm going to like this unexpected shocker.
I've been waiting for the release of this Spanish horror film (set in Mexico) ever since I saw the trailer. I have to admit I haven't seen anything else that director Adrian Garcia Bogliano has done before, but I can now say I am a fan and I look forward to diving into his other works, which have received high marks as low-budget exploitation films. It seems that he is highly influenced by horror films of the 70's and 80's, giving his own films a grindhouse effect. This is especially noticeable in his choice of eerie soundtracks and his use of cameras with old lenses and distinctive zooming effects.
While the beginning of the film is very erratic, confusing and unsettling, the rest of the film plays out in a very methodical and creepy way. The plot to this film is brilliant and touches on so many topics that make you think, all the while relishing in scenes of demonic possession and slicing and dicing. A family picnic is interrupted when the young daughter starts her period. Hello, Carrie. An obvious homage to Brian dePalma (director of Carrie), as Bogliano admits to using the same filters in his film as DePalma did in Carrie. After cleaning up at a rest stop, the children go off to play on a hill. A strange sex scene between the parents ensues; talking about their first sexual experiences as children which eventually leads up to act. While the children are away, the parents will play. When the children don't come back, they start searching. A local man tells them that people believe there is evil in those hills, that it has a strange energy, and many people have disappeared up there. After a night in a motel full of physical and verbal arguments, the children are found and brought home, trying to return to a normal life.
But things are anything but normal. The son and daughter say that they were in a dark cave, that nothing happened. But their actions seem to demonstrate otherwise. They won't talk about the incident at all and continue to become more and more withdrawn, exhibiting bizarre, almost lifeless, behavior. Experts believe these to be signs of sexual trauma. The parents charge ahead with this theory and make a decision that is alarming and heart-wrenching. I mean, really shocking. Something I don't want to give away. But I can say that it is incredibly gory, followed by an even stranger and disturbing sex scene. There are a lot of sex scenes in this film, but it is not sexy sex. It's raw and real. I like that quality. No romanticizing or sugar-coating.
This movie is just as much about the parents as it is the children. The parents realize that their choices and actions are powerless to the forces of evil. When the lights go out, that's when you can feel the devil standing on your chest. The plot continues to develop into a warped story of occult, of old superstitions, and of demonic possession. It may seem a lot jumbled into one, but it all makes sense in the end. Even the shocking serial killer opening sequence is tied back in at the end. This is so much more than a horror movie. It is nasty, unpleasant, and smart; pinpointed with psychological undertones, especially mindful of theories of sexual awakening and sexual repression. It is meant to disturb and make you think. Whoever says there are no original horror movies these days- go watch Here Comes the Devil.

Blurred Lines – the Qual/Quant Edition standard
Sorry if the title of this post brought back nightmarish memories of the twerking scandal of 2013. I wasn't actually referring to the song but to our shifting perspective on qualitative and quantitative research. A friend of mine, Sheila Katz, who teaches Sociology at the University of Houston wrote… …finished my lecture in my qualitative research methods class today with about 10 minutes left in class. The class is mostly made up of students in related social sciences, but I only have 3 sociology majors in the class. I asked if anyone had any last questions, and my psychology major student raised his hand and asks "so, I don't understand why the social sciences are taught from a primary quantitatitve frame.

KUALA LUMPUR – A biopic on Mohd Azizulhasni Awang is set to provide the people with rare insights into the arduous quests of the world keirin champion and is a must-watch movie for budding cyclists.
The film, to be directed by famous cinematographer Raja Mukhriz Raja Ahmad, is a collaboration by ThreeSixty Management, UniTalent Sdn Bhd and Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) with a production budget of approximately RM6 million.
"It is an honour for my efforts and sacrifices over the years as an athlete in representing the country all the way to the world arena. I hope fellow Malaysians will find it inspiring and informative.
"Without such an initiative, it (the memory) will end just like that. People will only remember what I had won… If the history is documented in the form of film, it will be passed on to the next generation," he told a press conference here today.
Mohd Azizulhasni, 30, said he was excited when he found out that the film would be made as a reference for UUM students.
He also said the film would incorporate elements of his family as well as his experience ever since he was a child to give more emotional touch to the feature and hoped it would motivate potential riders to do emulate him.
"I will make this film as a medium to convey to the public on how we, from a tiny nation, can conquer the world," Mohd Azizulhasni said.
UUM researchers will be involved in the content development of the film.
Casting for the lead actor will be carried out soon. – BERNAMA

|Julie's cushion
It was mentionned on a few occasions how good it was to have so many local people taking part after all God choses the weak and ordinary not the strong and famous to do his work and change the lives of many. It is wonderful to celebrate and everyone loves to have fun but essential that when it concerns our relationship with God it is also serious and based on Biblical principles and this weekend certainly fulfilled this.God has us here and now just as part of his plan just as he did Esther. If you want to know more about Esther there is a precept study over the summer you may want to join at Scrabo
or other venues
Focus fest was chaired by a very good friend's daughter and our Precept director which made it extra special so much so we chatted after the event and I didn't get to bed to 0100hrs!!!!
It was also great to meet up with old friends I havent seen in a while and catch up.
I made a few book purchases,one from a lady who took one of the seminars and although I have just started reading it I already feel I can recommend it.
The other was written by one of our church members so looking forward to getting to it as well.

text: Hey guys! I'm still learning the ropes on Wii Homebrew... and I've been reading quite a bit of info on it, but here's something I can't figure out (and as far as I can tell it hasn't been posted yet). I've got a pretty good grasp on installing/uninstalling WADs... and I was playing around with managing my space. Now we're supposed to be using our SD cards to back up channels when we're running low on system memory... however I noticed today that some of the VC/WiiWare titles I had copied to the SD card could not be copied back to the Wii system memory. It would look like it's copying fine, but instead of the usual "The file was copied." message it would say "The file was not copied." and not really give any explanation. I decided to uninstall all the new WADs I'd been messing with, and just test a few smaller ones to see how consistent the problem was starting from scratch... here's what I found out... Dr. Mario Online Rx (copies to SD, does not copy back) Kid Icarus (copies to SD, copies back) Super Castlevania IV (copies to SD, copies back) Sonic the Hedgehog (copies to SD, does not copy back) Some other games I remember not copying back before this test were: Pop, Defend Your Castle, FFCC:MLaaK (all WiiWare titles) and NES Open Tournament Golf However others I've tried worked fine... So anyway, I'm not sure I understand what the issue is with some titles and not others... it seems really inconsistent which titles are having issues, and I don't understand why files wouldn't copy in the first place when I have plenty of blocks opened up. I thought maybe it could be a region thing... but I'm pretty sure every file I've gotten has been U.S. NTSC so far. So yeah, any ideas? Something obvious I'm missing? Thanks for the help! Edit: I should mention I have recently updated my menu to 3.3U... not sure if that would be an issue... but yeah... I just like to keep my system up to date once I know everything will keep working on it.

Aquacut Quattro Unit, Air Abrasion System (Velopex Mfg Part # : QUATTRO)
The AQUACUT's unique fluid curtain suppresses the powder emissions common with air abrasion units from the past,
while simultaneously increasing cutting efficiency by constantly removing debris created during the cutting process.
The use of fluid reduces the need for high air pressure levels, thereby increasing patient comfort.
So how is it used? … When your patient sits down in the dental chair, you are able to perform a fast and effective cleaning of the oral area.
This will present you with a clearer indication of the patient's dental condition.
At the turn of a switch, the AQUACUT changes into a powerful cutting tool that will in many instances cancel the need to use the dental turbine.
It is a non-contact instrument, there is no vibration, heat generation or turbine noise. most cases there is no need for an anesthetic.
The Aquacut Quattro is a unique new patented generation of cutting tool, taking the original concept of air brasion and with the addition of fluid, creating Aquabrasion, a far more efficient and gentle technology. Besides functioning as a cutting tool, the Aquacut also cleans,polishes and dries.
Advantages of the Aquacut Quattro:
Sealed, self-contained disposable powder cartridges allow quick and measured refills. An inbuilt feed system insures there is zero maintenance in this critical area as the cartridges can simply be removed and replaced. This system also allows for a quick change between powder grades. Powders are available in 53 micron (red cartridge) and 29 micron (blue cartridge) of Aluminum Oxide for cutting or a Sodium Bicarbonate powder (clear cartridge) for cleaning and polishing.
With performance in mind, the ergonomic design allows for comfortable operation in the hand and mouth without sacrificing accuracy or control. The low resistance nozzle and long-life tungsten tip ensures the handpiece is a high performance precision instrument. The Autoclave-safe handpiece is made more versatile with a quick release system and comes in two tip sizes: I/ASS8090A - BLUE 0.5MM, I/ASS8092A - GOLD 0.8MM, I/ASS8089A - GREEN 0.4MM and I/ASS8091A - SILVER 0.6MM
Air pressure and powder levels are quickly calibrated through a simple-to-use control panel and a powder selection switch allows instant change from cutting to polishing.
The unique foot control enables the operator to choose instantly any function, enabling all procedures to be carried out through a SINGLE handpiece, thus speeding up treatment and reducing fatigue.
External Supplies: Clean, dry, compressed air, 6 bar (90psi) minimum, 7.5 bar (110psi) maximum. Inlet air supply connection Ø 4mm push-in fitting.
Foot Control: Three-way multi-functional foot valve for cut, wash and dry control. 2m (6ft), three-core pneumatic supply tube.
Output Pressure: Infinitely variable cutting/polishing air pressure between 0 - 7 bar (100psi), controllable via rotating switch and
pressure gauge.
Cutting Media: 53 and 29 micron Aluminium Oxide. Powder rate infinitely variable between 0 and 6g / min (0.2oz) via rotating switch and pressure gauge.
Polishing Medium: Sodium Bicarbonate.
Handpiece: Anodised Aluminium with separate integral powder and fluid channels (both operated by foot control). Nozzles made from stainless steel tube with Tungsten Carbide tip. Handpieces incorporate quick release system for convenient changeover of cutting sizes.
Color coded handpieces for simple tip-size identification:
Silver - 0.6mm (supplied with the Aquacut QUATTRO)
Purple - 0.3mm (optional extra)
Green - 0.4mm (optional extra)
Blue - 0.5mm (optional extra)
Gold - 0.8mm (optional extra)
