Without Small Data, Big Data and Cloud-Based Software are Useless to HVAC Maintenance
Yes, the facility management industry has entered the age of 'big data' where extremely large data sets are being collected and analyzed to reveal patterns, trends, and associations, primarily between HVAC equipment and energy optimization.
However, "Big Data" may be the most worn out catchphrase ever. When you think "big" you think Wall Street, the Pentagon, Silicon Valley. Places far and away from where you live and work, with needs far different from what you encounter in systems management. And is there any word less exciting than "data?" But unlike in other industries, the HVAC industry seems to realize big data is driven by small data and small data is still king. Without small data, big data is useless.
Martin Lindstrom recently wrote a book with a simple premise: sweat the small stuff. Big data, says Lindstrom, extrapolates correlations between small data. Small data, however, provides the why and HVAC facility technicians are already masters of small data. You deal with it every day. Your life revolves around minute differences of 1 and 2 percent that translate into massive differences for your boss or client. Those facilities gauges and monitoring systems are a treasure trove of small data. And small data is what you rely upon on a day-to-day basis. While big data has a lot to offer regarding big, sweeping decisions on energy policy at the very top, small data helps you to troubleshoot and make improvements at the micro level. Those small changes can mean big differences in terms of system performance.
The difficulty with spending your day at the small data level is that you're often tasked with inputting that data yourself, and there's quite a bit to track. Think of all of the maintenance log data you've scribbled on paper. Now, additional time must go into comparing that data to past logs. Consider that you can't immediately get feedback on the implications of your latest reading so you'll have to pause and eventually restart your thought processes. LogCheck reduces this pain and provides you insights from your small data right in the field. By entering routine inspection data into their mobile app rather than paper, you get instant feedback while you're still in front of your equipment as well as an online dashboard for deeper analysis.
Goodway's VS-S Video Borescope and VS-W Borescope, are also great tools for getting the small data you need to keep your facilities running. These borescopes are primarily used for inspecting inside tubes. To focus in on the tube's walls and blockages, each scope's field of vision is quite small. They are used to visually identify issues before cleaning and gather photographic evidence after cleaning to help assess quality.
Most everyone can agree that Big Data is the likely future in facility maintenance. But Big Data's power comes mostly in making big decisions. The day is coming, sooner rather than later, when your chillers will tell you what they need. Until then, you'll need to continue to figure out the small stuff, and we'll keep trying to make it as pain free as possible.
How Drones Reduce HVAC Maintenance Costs, Collect Data Quickly, and Improve Safety
Unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly called "drones," are coming into their own in facility maintenance. Facility managers employ drones to inspect areas difficult or dangerous to monitor, including HVAC systems. No longer the exclusive domain of hobbyists and the military-intelligence community, drones are poised to revolutionize the way America does business.
Consider drones also being deployed to inspect difficult and dangerous areas like rooftops for HVAC maintenance. Using a drone to survey a rooftop allows you to fully understand a maintenance or cleaning need before sending a technician up, drastically reducing his time spent in a dangerous situation. Even with scaffolding and safety harnesses, he's taking on risk. A drone, however, takes virtually no risk. You might lose the drone, but drones are comparatively inexpensive and prices keep dropping.
Check out this UAV Boiler Inspection by a drone.
Drones possess benefits far beyond safety, however. They reduce maintenance costs significantly, collecting data faster than any human can. That's not just money saved in man hours. It's also money saved through getting equipment back online sooner rather than later. High definition video, recorded via drone, allows facilities managers and maintenance engineers the opportunity to examine potential problems and discuss solutions from the safety and comfort of their offices.
And you can say goodbye to your clipboard. Drones collect data, then send it off for storage in the cloud. Once uploaded, facility management software makes sure maintenance requests don't get filed away in the "pay no mind" file. Your facility management software will send an alert to the relevant maintenance technician. You then have a record of that alert, increasing both efficiency and accountability.
The footage your buddy took after he strapped a GoPro to a drone is just the tip of the iceberg. Drone applications over the next year will make day-to-day maintenance safer, easier and more cost effective. Perhaps most importantly, drones and related technology will make sure maintenance gets done. That's an overall increase in your company's efficiency. And that means more money to reinvest. With the cost of drones plummeting, don't get left behind as this revolutionary new technology reshapes American industry.

Goodway's Coverage of The AHR 2017 Expo
The AHR Expo is a massive trade show where every year, thousands of industry insiders, manufacturers and distributors converge on a Convention Center to show off the latest and greatest in the world of HVACR. This year's Las Vegas event is particularly exciting, with new technologies such as split cassette systems from @Samsung, VRF systems and Internet of Things-enabled technologies promising to revolutionize the field.
Samsung's development sparked interest due to its aesthetic appeal. The HVACR industry is starting to design its products not just from the perspective of what works best, but also what customers will want to look at, year in and year out. New VRF systems mean lower costs, but also less wear and tear on the system in general. @Rinnai America debuted a tankless system with 96 percent thermal efficiency. Some companies, such as @JohnsManville even used technology to display old wares, like their tower showing differences in sound attenuation.
And, of course, there's the Internet of Things. Smart thermostats are just the beginning. @BellGossett updated its intelligent pump and variable frequency drive. On-site setup and configuration is estimated to have been cut in half by this updated pump. @Victaulic debuted the world's first grooved, installation-ready copper fittings. One subject that continues to be left out of the innovation conversation, however, is maintenance.
Maintenance is often an afterthought in the world of HVACR, despite the fact that companies might be losing hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in a year due to poorly running machines. Maintenance relates directly to efficiency and efficiency is synonymous with profitability in the field of HVACR. Take for example, microchannel coils. These coils are frequently cleaned using caustic hydroxides, which corrode and dissolve the aluminum within the coils. Improperly maintained machines means a shorter lifespan for basic equipment, higher cost of ownership and lower efficiency over the life of the cooler.
In fact, efficiency, tightly tied to maintenance is one of the strongest indicators of profitability. The investment, facility management and maintenance side of HVACR is aware of this. The manufacturing sector, however, seems less interested.
Goodway is proud to own innovation in the field of HVACR maintenance. We remain keyed into the industry, looking not only for new ways to clean equipment, but also constantly improving the mechanical and chemical solutions used. This means lower cost of ownership, less downtime and increased efficiency. Maintenance might not be the most exciting area of the HVACR world, but @GoodwayMachines is working hard ensuring maintenance doesn't get left behind as HVACR becomes increasingly high tech.
Smart Technology for Significant Chiller Energy Savings
In the average building, chillers account for between 35 and 50 percent of energy expenditures. Even minor adjustments in chiller efficiency can significantly lower the overall overhead of your business. Chiller efficiency and its relationship to the Internet of Things will be on everyone's mind this weekend at the AHR Expo 2017 in Las Vegas, NV.
Magnetic bearing chillers are a quantum leap in chiller technology. They can save a single business $4 million over the life of the chiller in energy costs. These new chillers don't require oil, or mechanical seals and gears. This ensures a far longer lifespan. At the same time, it can dramatically increase efficiency of the chiller. The U.S. Naval Facility in Newport, Rhode Island saw an energy savings of 65 percent when switching over to these new chillers. What's more, you don't have to change out the gaskets, bearings or seals. In terms of total cost of ownership and downtime, magnetic bearing chillers are far superior even to the chillers being producers 10-15 years ago.
Fortunately, it's not necessary to reinvent the wheel to increase the efficiency of your chillers. The Internet of Things automates efficiency with very little upfront cost. Daikin has just released two chillers (one scroll, one screw) capable of natively monitoring energy consumption at the equipment level. This provides facility managers with a robust, streamlined solution to reduce overall energy costs without any headaches.
In fact, 2017 is set to be the year of the smart building. Internet of Things-enabled chillers will play a vital role in keeping building maintenance costs down and reducing environmental impact without skimping on keeping the building cool. What's more, IoT-enabled chillers take the burden of scheduling maintenance off of the facilities manager. In some cases, the chillers will be able to order their own replacement parts and maintenance equipment before you even know there's a problem. When off-site maintenance crews show up, they won't need you to tell them what's wrong with the chiller. They'll already have a host of metrics to help them make the right repairs, helping to save you money on man hours and reduce downtime.
While the Internet of Things will provide significant improvements in efficiency, those won't matter much with dirty chiller tubes. The RAM-PRO-XL Contractor simultaneously cleans your chiller tubes while preventing corrosion after cleaning. You know how quickly your tubes can start oxidizing and corroding during cleaning. The RAM-PRO-XL Contractor Chiller Tube Cleaner's TubeGuard system makes sure that won't happen. The tablet-based system uses biodegradable cleaners without sacrificing anything in the way of power.
Combine the latest advancements in connected technology with robust maintenance tools for optimum performance in your chillers. And if you happen to be attending the AHR Expo this year, make sure to check out our exhibit at Central Hall – C4328.

The SMART Air Hood™ Balancing Instrument from Dwyer Instruments measures the airflow in HVAC systems, including grilles, diffusers and registers. It's also the first in its industry to offer predictive airflow balancing. This sets the perfect flow setpoint for each individual diffuser, while maintaining the appropriate balance for the HVAC system as a whole. See this at exhibit C4124.
You don't need to be fully connected to use the VG200W Wireless Digital Vacuum Gauge. It works just fine on its own or connected to a smart device utilizing the free VGLink application. Completely wireless, the device provides not just measurements, but also diagnostics, monitoring, testing verification and support, streamlining your maintenance process and preventing problems before they happen. Find it at exhibit C2322.
There will also be a variety of chillers, including those with game-changing magnetic bearing technology. With magnetic bearing technology you never have to change gaskets, bearings or seals ever again, because they don't use oil. They also boast significant savings, such as the U.S. Naval Facility in Newport, Rhode Island that found a 65 percent energy savings when switching over to magnetic bearing technology.
If you agree that chiller maintenance is a key to optimizing energy efficiency, come check out Goodway's exhibit C4328. We'll show you the next generation of chiller tube cleaning, RAM-PRO-XL. Our most advanced tube cleaner yet, this product will prevent corrosion even while the chiller is offline after cleaning. Combined with emerging Internet of Things technologies, your company can reap a significant savings on your overall energy costs.
Why Chiller Efficiency and Maintenance are Key Facility Investments
Typically, a chiller is the single largest consumer of power and most expensive piece of equipment in a building, so it's logical to allocate time and budget towards energy efficiency and equipment maintenance.
Without routine chiller maintenance, energy usage can double in just a few years and components can fail early, causing service interruptions. Poor maintenance procedures also lead to declining equipment reliability, the service life of a chiller can be reduced by 25% to 50%, according to an article in Facilitiesnet.com.
"While many managers look to chiller retrofits, system add-ons, or even replacements to improve efficiency, many overlook the single most important factor in determining both chiller efficiency and reliability: maintenance," according to the article.
Chiller system efficiency is also a worthwhile investment because for every $1 facility managers invest in chiller maintenance, they can "expect a return of $10 dollars in the form of reduced operating costs and fewer breakdown maintenance repairs," the article notes.
There are several chiller tube cleaning methods. One method is chemical cleaning, where a chemical solution – an acid, in some cases – is circulated through the chiller to clean the tubes.
An alternative method is a mechanical approach. Some manual chiller tube cleaning methods involve pushing a brush through each tube, then flushing afterward. However, the residue left after the brush is pushed through may dry on the surface before flushing, and the subsequent water flush will not remove it.
Another mechanical cleaning system rotates a cleaning brush or buffing tool attached to a motorized flexible shaft through the chiller tube while water-flushing the tube at the same time. The advantages of this system are that the tubes are given a thorough scouring and the simultaneous water flush allows the tubes to be completely cleaned before they dry.
By performing regular maintenance of chiller systems, facilities can decrease energy costs, extend operational efficiency, reduce power loads as well as save money on labor, equipment, and other associated costs.
A maintenance program for chillers also helps a facility with its sustainable goals by extending the life of the HVAC system and reducing energy consumption.
The best time to do regular chiller maintenance is in the winter or early spring when the chiller systems are not in use. To prevent the buildup of scale and sediment you must maintain the chiller tubes according to the manufacturer's directions.

Quantifying Quality: The Rise of HVAC Air Monitoring
Monitoring air quality is rapidly shifting from the realm of mere research to more practical applications as HVAC companies look for ways to ensure that both indoor and outdoor air quality levels aren't negatively impacted by a new installation or repair. This rising priority should come as no surprise: Medical News Today notes that air pollution is now a leading stroke risk factor, while ACHR News points out that a large-scale bi-partisan energy bill could have serious impacts on how HVAC units are installed and evaluated. Bottom line? It's not just what's inside a heating or cooling unit that counts. To stay ahead, companies need a way to effectively quantify HVAC air quality.
Indoor Issues
Managing indoor air quality is now the focus of startups like Airviz, a Carnegie Mellon University spinoff — its "Speck" device is designed to report the parts per million of certain 2.5-micron size particles which could pose a threat to human health. In a recent MIT Technology Review piece, for example, author Simson Garfinkel describes the Speck detecting a rise of PM2.5 particles in his home, such as those released by cooking oil, which are in turn linked to diseases like asthma, autism and even ADHD. In fact, the WHO says that four million deaths worldwide are caused by poor indoor air quality conditions; conditions that quickly reached worrisome levels when Garfinkel's family was simply frying eggs.Read full blog post »
The Dangers of Deferred HVAC Maintenance
Companies are on the hook to cut costs; staff, services and technology all fall under the ax of balanced books. In an effort to minimize day-to-day impacts, many businesses are turning to deferred maintenance —putting off required repairs or upgrades on HVAC systems and cooling towers until they're absolutely necessary or the unit fails. The problem? As noted by a HealthCareCAN report, this is a "short term solution with long-term consequences unless additional resources are provided at a later date." Best case? Cooling towers fail and you're out time and money. Worst case? Killer infections. Here's a look at the pitfalls of deferred maintenance for HVAC units.
Big Savings, Big Problems?
At first glance deferred maintenance seems like a reasonable solution to an immediate need: If HVAC and other systems are still performing within expected parameters it's easy to put off maintenance until the "next budget." If the same scenario exists a year later deferring again only makes sense, right?Read full blog post »

Wars in the former Yugoslavia have forced nearly five million people from their homes since 1991. This massive displacement of populations and the lack of reliable census information for much of the region have made "neutral" sources such as telephone directories an invaluable source of demographic data. Directories dating from 1951 to 1999 are included.
The telephone directories also serve as a means of establishing refugee or displaced person status by documenting and corroborating evidence of previous residence of those applying for such recognition.

Open Thread: It Happened to You
This is your place to talk about the funny, sad, outrageous things that are happening in your life -- whenever you're ready.
Needing to use a cane at 22 wasn't part of my plan, but I neither was having cataract and glaucoma surgery when I was 20. And yet, here we are.
My friends jokingly call me the secret old person because eye surgeries and canes are usually reserved for the AARP crowd. I guess I'm just an early bloomer.
My knee pain kind of came out of nowhere. I was basically fine until, one day, I came home from work and could barely walk. My first appointment was with my college's health and wellness center. The woman who saw me told me to see an orthopedist, which meant an appointment with my primary care doc. The health-services woman kindly lent me a cane — due back by graduation — and sent me on my way with an ice pack and bandages.
Let me just say after using a cane for a few weeks, I have so much more empathy and respect for people who need it full-time. It's been a learning experience.
I've never broken a bone before, and it was my first assistive device. I had to learn how to get around one-handed, how to juggle books and bags as I make my way around campus, etc. I also have an internship in New York City, which means dealing with trains, subways and stairs since an elevator isn't always available. And sometimes, the main reason I'm using the cane — comfort — is exchanged for necessity. If you've ever seen me run through Grand Central trying to catch my train, cane in hand, just know I'll pay for that attempted sprint in the morning.
Besides it falling over every fucking time I try to lean it on something, my cane is honestly really helpful, and not just with the mobility issues. My cane shows others that I have an "issue" that I need a little extra help with; that it's the reason why I'm walking slow. Without it, I'm just the asshole sitting in the subway seats intended for disabled, elderly and pregnant passengers.
My cane has definitely changed my way of life on my school's campus as well. I've gotten over the stares by now because I know I look too young to need one, but I haven't gotten over the actual stairs (sorry). I didn't realize until I was forced to that my school is really inaccessible for people with physical disabilities. I mean, I can make it up and down stairs with my cane, albeit while struggling, but if you use a wheelchair, there are parts of campus that are just off-limits to you.
Using a cane around my campus means I have to give myself extra time to get to class; it means that sometimes I go weeks without checking my mailbox because it's at the bottom of the hill with two sets of stairs in between. My cane means having to speak up and ask someone to help me grab something because I'm one-handed; it means people asking questions and me not having an answer because I don't know what's wrong.
After seeing health services and my primary care doctor, I ventured into Manhattan to see an orthopedist. After waiting for an hour in an un-air-conditioned office, the doctor finally saw me. His assessment was that it was a common problem: to work out more and stop kneeling and stop using the cane. Awesome.
Obviously, being fat doesn't help anything, but it's not the root cause of my knee problems. I also know I should work out more, but it's kind of hard to run on the treadmill or do the elliptical when your knee hurts every time it bends or use it at all. I was hoping to get some more information from the doctor, like maybe an MRI or something other than "don't kneel" but that was that.
My "secret old person" status isn't going away anytime soon, and knowing my track record, I'll probably need another eye surgery or a hip replacement in the next year.
Oh well, I've accepted it.

Hurt, devastated and crushed are words an African-American couple used to describe how they felt when they were forced to change the venue of their wedding because of their race. "Because of the fact that we were black, some of the members of the congregation had got upset and decided that no black couple would ever be married at that church". "All we wanted to do in the eyes of God was to be man and wife in a church that we thought we felt loved. What was wrong with that?" Charles and Te'Andrea Wilson had planned to marry this month at the First Baptist Church of Crystal Springs in Mississippi, but were asked at the last-minute to move. Their pastor, Stan Weatherford, made the request on behalf of some congregants who didn't want to see the couple married there, he performed the ceremony at a nearby church.
I thought we had progressed further than we have obviously in this country. It is a shame that racist is still alive and hurting people. Dr, Martin Luther King Jr. and so many others fought so that we would not have to endure this type of treatment. What a shame, I hope they know that you REAP what you SOW!
This is disgraceful. For a body of believers in Christ to conduct themselves in this manner is terrible. I commend the Pastor for performing the weddidng celebration just as well, all be it, at another locale. Howwever, as the PAstor of the church the buck stops with him; what I mean is he has the very last say so. If he does not have the last say so, then there is something wrong.
As for you, Bro & Sis Wilson, I would find a new Home Chuch where Christ is LORD and the Word of God is preached.

Physical desire and sexual pleasure are both natural instincts of men as well as women.
However, modern lives are fast-paced and leave most men stressed and irritable. Thus, there are many men who find it difficult to enjoy sex to maximum extent. Moreover, a man may also be anxious about his penis size.
Fortunately, there are some effective tips for penis enlargement UK. But before you can use these measures, including enlargement pumps, devices and pills, it's important to get rid of your anxiety.
Understanding the Problem
First of all, you need to have an understanding of the psychological basis for good sex. Once you have understood psychology related to sexual pleasure, you will be able to begin your journey towards performance and passion. This way, you won't be focusing on your penis size.
Secondly, you need to understand that sex and health are entwined. Once you accept this basic fact, you will be willing to make positive changes to your lifestyle. A majority of men can easily overcome anxiety related to sexual performance and penis size by improving their general health.

The apparent suicide of a 22-year-old Gambian migrant, Pateh Sabally, who drowned in Venice's Grand Canal last Sunday alongside a "Vaporetto" (canal bus) full of horrified tourists, continues to prompt controversy.
The Grand Canal is a canal in Venice, Italy that forms one of the major water-traffic corridors in the city.
When the Vaporetto sailed past the drowning Sabally in the freezing waters of the Canale Grande, at first not everyone understood the tragic nature of the drama.
Given that it will shortly be Carnevale time at Venice, some people thought the man's predicament might be some sort of publicity prank.
Mobile phone footage of the incident, however, shows that people both on the canal bridge and on the Vaporetto soon realized that the man was in difficulty.
Against a background of noisy "advice" from those on the canal banks, the Vaporetto personnel threw four life-rings into the freezing water.
Even though at least two of the rings landed right beside him, Sabally made no attempt to reach for them. Instead, he is seen to raise both his arms straight to the sky before he disappears beneath the surface of the water.
This gesture suggested that he had opted to take his own life.
Bystanders watching the attempted rescue can be heard to say: "this guy has to be stupid. He wants to drown…"
No one jumped into the icy canal to attempt to save Sabally, a circumstance which prompted influential Catholic weekly, Famiglia Cristiana, to observe yesterday: "Is it not scandalous that no one jumped into the freezing waters of the Canale Grande, risking their own life to save another? And is it not true… that if it had been a white man in the water, a 'hero' would have emerged?"
Famiglia Cristiana also reports that some of those present at the drowning were heard to shout heartless and racist comments such as "Go on, Africa, that way you'll go home."
When Sabally's body was pulled out of the canal some hours later by police divers, a sealed plastic container with his documents inside was found strapped to his body.
It seems that he had a legitimate residence permit of the type normally granted to political refugees, whilst he had entered Italy as a "boat person" via the Sicilian port of Pozzallo in 2015.
The young migrant had left his rucksack on the canal bank before he jumped – or fell – into the water. The rucksack contained little other than a Milan-Venice train ticket of the day before.
On Friday, the mayor of Venice Luigi Brugnaro said the municipality would pay the burial expenses for Sabally's funeral, adding: "This is simply a gesture of respect towards Pateh Sabbaly and his broken dreams…This young man's death has left us all feeling very sad."
Italy remains very much at the center of the Mediterranean migrant crisis with 181,000 migrants arriving there by boat in 2016, 18 per cent more than in 2015.
Gambia is one of the highest migrant-producing countries in the sub-region, according to EU data.

SOURCE: Lens error
The most common cause of this issue on the L3 is an impact which dislodges the focus element in the very front of the lens. The metal platform that the focus system is mounted to is attached with 1 screw and is able to flex slightly under stress. When impacted it flexes and allows the focus drive to become misaligned. The lens still technically works but the camera senses that the focus is jammed and leaves the lens extended so no components will be damaged by retracting. This repair costs $145 at my shop, not an economical repair for this camera. Some parts of the focus element are accessable from the front of the lens. You can remove the metal cover (it is glued down). Generally you will not be able to re-install the lens barrier, but it can be removed without harm to the camera. When you remove the plastic plate which carries the lens barrier you will see a small metal gear, this is the base of the focus drive.

The problem is that the lens has become stuck in the barrel after dropping it. There are some DIY solutions you could try, but the probability is that you will have to get it fixed by a professional.
Use these at own risk as it may further damage the camera.
Firstly , try connecting your ac adapter or usb cable.
Try holding the shutter button while switching on the camera.
Look at the lens , and if some of the lens 'circles' is misaligned or not concentric then try wiggling it (while holding camera lens down).
Try gently pushing or pulling the lens when it extends but this is risky as it may cause the lens barrel to slip out of its guidance system.
Another way to do this is to place the camera lens down on a hard surface and then power it up. Be sure to use a soft cloth or something similar as to not scratch your lens or casing. Let the lens push the camera up and down a few times and sometimes the little resistance provided by the camera is enough to get things going again.
Try hitting your camera near the lens on the body with the soft tissue on the palm of your hand.
Other than that , I would take the camera to a repair center for a evaluation to see if it would cost more to repair than to replace the camera.
If it is still under warranty I would suggest you take it in before trying any of these steps and remove any off-brand batteries or accessories as some stores are really fussy about warranty repairs on camera's with non-brand accessories.
Hope the advise is useful.

The dangers of purism
Speaking of the French election, we can draw a parallel with what happened last year in the United States.
Bernie lost the Democratic primaries, leaving Hillary Clinton the "honour" of beating Donald Trump; we know that this didn't happen, and today we have a rich orange dumbass in the White House who represents everything that is wrong with the world.
What I appreciated most about Bernie after he lost was his pragmatism: he unequivocally endorsed Clinton. And it was the right move.
There were a lot of reasons to dislike her: the links with the financial institutions, banks, billionaires, her hawkish position on foreign policy and so on. But it was extremely important to not let Trump win.
Many labeled Bernie a "traitor" in the name of purism, and here we are.
What the European Left is lacking isn't purism, it's pragmatism.
I agree that many on the Left made too many compromises with the right in the last decades, but it is equally dangerous to behave like purists. You will end up like Corbyn in Britain: a complete failure with no say in policymaking.
You can't change the game if you don't play it.
Melenchon should have endorsed Macron, gaining more leverage to influence his decisions once elected president.
But no, Macron worked for a bank so now he's the worst person ever.
Doens't matter that Le Pen wants to destroy a 70 years long project which, with all its flaws, brought peace back to Europe. Doesn't matter that Le Pen wants people to die in the Mediterranean. Doesn't matter that she denied French imperialist crimes.
Centrism and internationalism are a better option than nationalism and pseudo-fascism. I thought that two world wars had taught us a lesson, but I always forget that we are a generation that takes everything for granted.

Nosebleed refers to blood flowing from the nose or nasal passage. There are two types of nosebleeds:
- Anterior nosebleed — Blood comes from the front of the nose. It usually flows from the semi-rigid walls that separate the two nostrils. This is the most common type of nosebleed.
- Posterior nosebleed — Bleeding starts deep within the nose. This is often more severe and difficult to treat than an anterior nosebleed.
The Nasal Passage
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
What Causes a Nosebleed?
Causes include:
- Irritating or breaking the lining of the nose
- Injuring the nasal tissue, which occurs more easily when nasal structure is not normal, or when the passages are inflamed due to a cold or allergies
- Having very dry nasal tissue
- Picking or bumping the nose
- Forcefully blowing or rubbing the nose
- Having clot from a previous nosebleed becoming disturbed or dislodged
- Placing a foreign object in the nose
- Having a tumor in the nose and/or sinuses
Your Nosebleed Risk
Factors that may increase your risk of nosebleeds include:
- Irregularity in the structure of the nose
- Abnormalities of the blood vessels in the nose (angiomas)
- Dry climate
- Dry, heated indoor air
- Allergies
- Colds
- Sinusitis
- Diseases (such as sarcoidosis or lupus)
- Cocaine use
- Bleeding or clotting disorders
- Anticoagulant (blood-thinning) drugs, including aspirin
- Very high blood pressure
Nosebleed Symptoms
Nosebleed symptoms depend on where in the nose the bleeding begins, for example:
- Anterior nosebleed — These produce blood flow from one nostril when sitting or standing. Blood may pass down the throat if you are coughing or tipping your head back.
- Posterior nosebleed — These cause bleeding down the back of the mouth and throat. Blood may flow from the nostril if you lean forward.
When Should I Call My Doctor?
Call your doctor if:
- There is a lot of blood.
- The bleeding will not stop.
- The bleeding is caused by an injury.
- You experience frequent nosebleeds.
Your doctor may want to do certain tests, such as:
- Sinus X-rays — to identify abnormalities or a mass in the nasal region
- Endoscopy — to examine nasal tissues
- Blood tests — to check for anemia, low blood platelets or clotting problems
Treating a Nosebleed
Most anterior nosebleeds stop without medical care within 15 minutes. Posterior nosebleeds usually are more serious and need medical care. Treatment may include sealing off the blood vessel that is bleeding.
- Stay calm.
- Sit up and lean forward.
- Pinch the soft parts of your nose together. Hold for at least five minutes without releasing pressure.
- Once the bleeding stops, do not pick or blow your nose.
- Avoid straining, bending or lifting.
- If the bleeding starts again, reapply pressure for ten minutes.
Medical Intervention
For an anterior nosebleed, your doctor will use a compress soaked in a medicine. The medicine constricts or shrinks the blood vessel and reduces the pain. Pressure will be applied by pinching the nostrils together. Your doctor may pack the area with gauze. In more severe cases, your doctor may cauterize (seal off) a blood vessel that does not clot on its own.
A posterior nosebleed may require packing the nostril or inserting and inflating a special balloon that applies pressure to the area. If all medical attempts to control bleeding fail, surgery may be needed.
If you are diagnosed with a nosebleed, follow your doctor's instructions.
Preventing Nosebleeds
To reduce the chance of getting a nosebleed:
- Lubricate dry nasal passages near the front of the nose. Place a small dab of lubricating cream or ointment on your fingertip. Apply the lubricant to the inside of the nose. You may do this at bedtime or up to three times during the day. Polysporin and petroleum jelly (such as Vaseline) are examples of lubricants that may be used.
- Use a saline nasal spray. These help keep nasal passages moist. Be sure that the nose spray does not contain medicines such as phenylephrine or oxymetazoline. These types of medicines should be used for only a few consecutive days.
- Do not pick your nose. Cut children's fingernails short to discourage picking.
- Humidify the air, especially in bedrooms.

Here's most of what Huskies coach Lorenzo Romar said after UW's 77-72 loss to No. 23 Arizona on Saturday.
(Opening) "Tough game to lose. … The way the crowd was behind us and backed us, our guys have been waiting for this for a long, long time. Andrew Andrews, this is the first time he's played in a situation like this at home, and I feel like we let 'em down a little bit. It's tough. I don't think we have to look very far, though, than the offensive rebound column. Namely, Ryan Anderson. He had eight offensive rebounds. Tarczewski I believe had three and those might have been in the first half. (Anderson) just took the game over on the backboard, and I think that was the difference in the game. I thought our guys competed. I thought our guys guarded. I thought our guys played together on defense and worked hard. But here we are without the victory. Give Arizona a lot of credit to go on the road in a hostile environment and finding a way to get it done."
(What's the coaching point when a team is rebounding so well offensively? That's been a problem all season) "Tonight was a little different. It was one guy. One guy. And he had his way with us. When we were in Tucson, he was very forceful then, too. But you look at the stat – he had eight, Tarczewski three. They had eight offensive rebounds with 11 minutes to go in the game. They had eight offensive rebounds at halftime, if I remember correctly, because we told our team during that timeout that we were doing a great job boxing out and keeping them off the boards up until that point. So you do the math and you see what damage Ryan Anderson did down the stretch, in the last 11 minutes of that game, and there's the difference."
(On what's so difficult about stopping Ryan Anderson) "He's a fifth-year senior. He is very strong, and he's a good basketball player. And he has a nose for the ball and just went in there and got physical and got it done."
(On defensive style making it harder to box out) "That happens too, at times. In the big picture, yes, that happens. Sometimes we jump when we shouldn't. Sometimes we'll leave a guy there. Sometimes with switches, we'll switch and we're so accustomed to guarding one guy, now we're guarding another, and the shot goes up, you forget to check him. stuff that we constantly are talking about. But tonight it was more just a player being determined that he was going to go get the basketball."
(On what he told team in locker room) "We never fault our guys when we compete like we did tonight. When you compete, it's going to work out our way more than not. So this wasn't a situation where we went in and blasted our team. Proud of the way our team competed. But we just have to find a way to box out. When there is a guy like that, that's that active on the boards, we have to find a way to go get the basketball. And secondly, we have the toughest road trip, in my opinion, that we've had this year coming up, in Utah and Colorado. We're going to have to turn around and get right back and play good basketball on the road."
(On Noah Dickerson not being able to stay on the court due to foul trouble) "That left a big hole. A huge hole. Noah not only is physical, but he scored 17 points in the first game. So we were without his physicality. Malik Dime played more minutes than he has all year, 33 minutes, and he's just not used to playing that way. Down the stretch, he was really tired. No fault to him. He just hadn't been playing that many minutes. If we'd have had Noah's services, we could have rotated a little more and kept fresh guys in. I think that may have had something to do with Ryan Anderson doing what he did, also, just us being tired at the end."
(If someone told you that you would force 20 turnovers and get 13 steals and lose...) "I would have said, 'how many rebounds?' No. I'd have thought we'd be in good shape. And we should have been. It's all part of the game. Good teams, if you shut something off, the really good ones find another way to beat you. And that's what they did. They found another way to beat us, and that was on the backboard."
(On Marquese Chriss' game) "I thought Marquese played a really good game. I thought he worked hard. He was a workhorse on the board. He made some shots, hit some big shots for us. I'd also have to say the same for Matisse Thybulle. I thought Matisse Thybulle had a monster game. Six steals, and was just a pest on the defensive end."
(On not being able to get over the hump yet) "When you're climbing back up the mountain, as we are, there comes that defining moment where you're over the hump and now you've got to sustain it. And I don't feel like we've got there yet. I think we're climbing hard, though. I think we're really climbing hard and gaining momentum and I feel like the top is within sight. But we didn't quite get over the hump, again, tonight. But this is a great group, and we're going to come back and fight."
(On these next few weeks being a good time to put the program on the map) "You know, starting with today, this game was nationally televised, I think our next three out of four or four out of five are going to be nationally televised. I think it's a great time as people are looking to see who's going to be in the tournament, the selection committee is looking to see who's going to be in the tournament. All of that stuff. It's great timing for us to go out and play good basketball. But if it wasn't about all of that and people watching that, potentially, it's great timing because this is the stretch run. Right now, this is it. These last seven games we have … we talk all about a game in December and say, 'this is going to be a big game,' and that's true. How big of a game was Santa Barbara, since we lost it? It's a huge game. How big of a game was Texas? It was the first one. That was a big win for us. But now, every game is so monumental that you're playing. Every game has a lot at stake."
(On Marquese Chriss saying that sometimes he talks too much) "He needs to not get distracted. Marquese would just tell you, he reacts quickly sometimes and he gets distracted instead of staying on the task at end. But dog gone, that's what makes him so competitive, too. He just has to find a balance, that's all. But the fact that he said that to you shows that he's aware of it, and you can't get better at anything until you recognize that there's something going on. So he's aware of it. I'm telling you, he's making progress that way. He really is making a lot of progress."

Hello friends. I have another new embossing folder to share with you from Crafter's Companion. This one is called Floral Frenzy and it will be available on HSN in July. I have a few packages of colored foil sheets that I found in my stash and I thought that would a perfect thing to emboss with this new folder!
First I embossed the pink foil sheet and then I embossed some white cardstock. The embossing folder is 6x6" so it's perfect for square or A2 sized cards! I used the Signature Collection by Sara Davies - Happy Birthday - Birthday Wish die and it cut thru the foil beautifully using the Gemini Die Cutting and embossing machine.
I love the contrast, don't you? Well that is all for today! I will be sharing a few more projects using Crafter's Companion in the next few days!

There is no flashy styling here of the latest blobby shapes, where buildings contort themselves into exaggerated computer-generated wiggles, each one more narcissistic than the last. Neither is there any lazy application of fake pastiche, where cozy columns, pediments and moldings are stuck on buildings for superficial nostalgic effect. Instead, Murcutt makes pure architecture, close to nature, close to people and close to culture. Forms evolve from what Murcutt calls "ecological functionalism" and "the aesthetics of necessity," where craft, materials and beauty are united in totally original compositions.
At the invitation of Charlotte students, Murcutt spent two days at the College of Architecture, energizing students and faculty alike, lecturing to packed audiences on his own work and critiquing the work of graduate students from UNC-Charlotte and several colleges from adjacent states. He was bitingly critical of the kind of architecture that predominates in the city of Charlotte, and on the UNC-Charlotte campus: conservative, formulaic boxes that alienate us from our natural environment, consume large amounts of energy and pollute our atmosphere with greenhouse gasses.
It was just as well he didn't see the illustration of Charlotte's proposed new uptown classroom building. If he'd glimpsed that august pile, he'd probably have caught the next plane back "down under" in dismay. The good news is that the new university building in First Ward probably won't look like the computer-generated image of a sorority house on steroids that glared from the pages of the Charlotte Observer. I believe this was a hastily developed picture to accompany the press release, and as far as I know, no architect has yet developed a more detailed proposal. So there's hope.
I may get a rollicking reprimand from my superiors at the university for this column, but if I bite my tongue any more about the poor standard of architecture on our campus, I'd chomp right through the flesh. It's hard to teach urgent lessons about architecture when the students' alma mater avoids tackling key imperatives of contemporary design — innovation, environmental sustainability, and climatic responsiveness. That's why Glenn Murcutt's visit was so cathartic and inspirational. If I stay silent on this issue, I myself become complicit in the acceptance of low standards.
In part I've stayed mum out of genuine respect and admiration for our retiring Chancellor, Dr. James Woodward, who has led the university with exceptional skill through more than a decade of fast-paced growth, not just in new buildings and student numbers, but in terms of academic standards measured by the quality and quantity of new degree programs at all levels. But the standard of university architecture has not matched those achievements.
I'm privileged to work at a place that's now poised to reshape the intellectual landscape of Charlotte and its region. New buildings on campus house important research in technologies that bend the mind, and these new halls of academe nurture students in an expanding range of degree programs across the sciences, social sciences, arts and humanities. It's an exciting place to work, and it's our duty to lead our region by example. Now our buildings must be as progressive as our thinking.
Placing astounding new American technologies in structures disguised as country houses from 18th century Europe contradicts our high ambition and quality of work. Our university is the intellectual leader of the region, a beacon of progressive thought. Yet our buildings are timid, backward-looking, and avoid the urgent realities of the modern world.
Glen Murcutt achieved worldwide fame by creating buildings that stimulated his clients to think beyond their normal horizons, expand their understanding, and fulfill their places in the community and the wider world. That is what great architecture can do, and we have precious little of it in the Queen City. It's time for UNC-Charlotte to accomplish its mission and lead our city into a new era of architectural sophistication and environmental sensitivity.
Glenn Murcutt, one of the world's great architects, would expect no less of us.

Mumbai: On Monday late evening, Shah Rukh Khan launched the second song 'Beech Beech Mein' from his film 'Jab Harry Met Sejal' with Anushka Sharma in one of the top-notch clubs in the city.
However, that's not the only event the superstar attended. Before launching this groovy track from the film, the actor attended the wedding ceremony of Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad's daughter, which was stationed in the capital city.
That's not all to it. Present at the wedding ceremony in New Delhi, was also the heartthrob of the nation- Salman Khan. While Salman and Shah Rukh, both were under the same roof, they did not bump into each other.
The stalwarts attended the extravagant affair at different timings, and therefore they couldn't meet.
While, Shah Rukh looked dapper in an all-black suit, Salman kept it casual with formal black attire, which made him look at ease. He was clicked at the airport returning from the function.
However, it was Salman's round pendant around in his neck that caught our attention, while he ditched his forever along bracelet for it.
Here are some of the inside pictures of the stars from the wedding:
The attendees went all bonkers clicking pictures of the megastars of Bollywood.

FLIGHT Exhibit At The Leonardo
It's one thing to bring in a big exhibit from the outside. It's another to build one completely from the ground up. But, that's exactly what we've done. Flight is an exhibit on the scale of Body Worlds or Dead Sea Scrolls but this time, it's a Utah original. In short, you've never seen anything like this before.
About The Exhibit
Flight is a completely immersive experience into the world and ecosystem of flight. The exhibit will feature several interactive components and displays, sure to dazzle and delight scientists of all ages. Visitors will be able to:
- Climb in, on and around a massive C-131 aircraft that has been specially fitted to help visitors unlock the secrets and science behind manned flight.
- Pilot one of two completely original flight simulators, made especially for the museum by Rockwell Collins. These simulators are the same ones that modern day pilots train in while they learn how to operate these vast vehicles.
- Learn about the different types of flight including buoyant, ballistic, and aerodynamic.
- See the animal flight world up close and personal and discover how studying birds led to the discovery of manned flight.
- The future of flight, including long-term space exploration.
FLIGHT is more about the science, engineering and even art that make flying through the air possible. That means when you leave, you'll unlocked the secrets of flight for yourself and you'll come away with a new appreciation and understanding for how the flying world works.
For much of his life, Leonardo da Vinci attempted to understand how things flew through the air. He studied birds early and often during his lifetime, trying to figure out what kept these creatures in the air. The story goes that Leonardo was studying the air and trying to ascertain exactly how the air flowed over the wings of the birds. To do this, he actually put wings into the water and watched how the current moved over the water, thus leading him to understand air current. He used this knowledge to build his own flying machine that, while it never actually flew, served as a first step into the discovery of manned flight.
TUNNEL of DREAMS
Experience The Tunnel of Dreams, and discover for yourself the wonder of FLIGHT that has captured the imagination of inventors, aviators and dreamers for centuries. As you exit the tunnel of dreams, you'll be placed into an authentic replica of an American living room on the night of July 20, 1969 . There, you'll watch again, or for the first time, the extraordinary moon landing, led by Neal Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin—an event that would spark the wonder of a generation of scientists.
At the heart of the exhibit will be a fully restored C-131 aircraft which will sit in the center of the exhibit and clear the walls on either side of the gallery by a mere six inches. Built in the mid-1950s as primarily a military aircraft, the C-131 has a history of service within the US Air Force, among its many jobs. This particular aircraft has flown military missions, carried generals across the continent and even served in some non-military capacity for a while. In short, it's had a long and varied history, but it will now serve as a vehicle for people everywhere to learn more about the science, engineering and art of flying through the air.
Ever wanted to fly a plane? Of course! We all have. But at The Leonardo, you'll actually get to do it. We have two, completely unique, hyper-realistic flight simulators that will take you on a wild ride. Learn what to do to help an actual plane get off the ground, or come in for a super smooth landing. These flight simulators, built especially for this exhibit by Rockwell Collins, are the same style of flight simulators that most pilots train on. Truly, there is no better way to learn how to be a pilot then to step into a simulator and experience first-hand what a pilot feels like as they drive their craft into the air. It's a rush you won't soon forget.

- Every year around this time I start to get sick of my winter wardrobe since it feels like I've worn everything over and over. So it's always nice when I come up with a "new" outfit like this faux fur vest with layered necklaces.
- I found out from another blogger that John Frieda's Beach Blonde Sea Salt Spray is back! They stopped making it years ago and I haven't been able to find a product that worked quite as well since. It made such natural, beautiful waves when I let my hair air dry and it smells just like the beach! (For someone that lives at the beach, this is key). I must buy it ASAP!
- The Bachelor was sooo good this week. (If you didn't watch Monday's episode, stop reading now). Finally the Kim Kardashian lookalike Ashley I and the psycho Kesley both got sent home! Chris is mesmerized by Britt (maybe it's the lipstick?), but I'm pretty sure once she goes to Iowa they will be finished. I am rooting for Kaitlin...she's hilarious and she's down to earth.

There are millions of websites on the internet. All of them have written content. Some people write the material themselves while others outsource that aspect of their business to writers with the necessary skills.
It's vital that you understand what actually goes on when you outsource writing work, no matter what sort of material you need. You can't assume that you're the only client the writer has to deal with.
Words don't magically appear on the screen without a lot of thought being put into them. Some people use article spinners and PLR material while others write everything themselves.
Before taking on any new assignment, the writer has to consider many factors. His first priority is to his existing clients. If he doesn't do that, he may lose regular work in an attempt to please everyone else.
He has to know what sort of material is needed by any potential client. The size and content have to be considered as well as any deadline. No matter what the topic, a certain amount of research must be done to ensure the best possible product is created.
Time is the final element that has to be added to the mix. When is the deadline? When did you request the job to be started? Fees have to be discussed and if you're a new client, expect to pay some or all of the money upfront, at least for the first job.
If you're unhappy with the quote, don't bother telling him you can get it cheaper elsewhere. That won't make him change his prices. Everyone knows there are plenty of "writers" that will work for ridiculously small amounts of money…and their work generally reflects that poor quality.
A writer's time is valuable and he can't afford to waste it on work that you have no intention of paying for. Most writers have websites and samples of their writing. Some also have testimonials displayed on their site.
Please keep all of these points in mind when you consider hiring a writer for your next project.

Designer Tanvi Asher has been surrounded by the craft of dressmaking since her college years—first as a very ambitious MFA thesis project; later, as a pursuit of creative expression. Asher Bridal arose from her desire to create clothing worthy of memories.
Having earned her M.F.A. from the Rochester Institute of Technology's School of Industrial Design ,Tanvi began applying her craft via her ready to wear clothing label and boutique Peppermint, located in the heart of Rochester's Park Ave neighborhood. Shortly after, following a passion for more personal design, took on bridal gowns and individual projects for clients in and around the greater New York Area.
Her work on custom dresses throughout these few years has refined her focus, letting her find the balance between pageantry and intricate craftsmanship that she now brings back to bridal wear. Her designs are created for individuals, and for celebration—one, highly personalized celebration—with fine detailing and workmanship that transform a dress into an heirloom. They are garments that speak of love: the emotion of your wedding day, and the deliberate care with which she creates each and every piece.

New Thermal Solution for High Performance COM Express CPU Module
Sept. 10th, 2015, Taipei - Advantech, a leading embedded computing solution provider, today announced the release of its new thermal solution for COM Express Basic Module — the Dynamic Heat Conduction System (DHCS).
This is an advanced technology which differs from traditional COM Express thermal solutions; DHCS uses a built-in dynamic block to resolve the dimension tolerance between CPU and thermal module, so the block can contact the CPU surface directly and tightly without any gap pad. This revolutionary design shortens the heat conduction path, and makes heat dissipation more efficient. In a direct comparison test with a traditional two-piece thermal module, the thermal solution with DHCS delivered a CPU temperature 20 ˚C lower. This can benefit applications that require high computing performance, and is especially suitable for high-end COM Express solutions and harsh application conditions, such as those in the traffic, medical, and military sectors.
Outstanding Heat Dissipation Leads to High Computing Performance
DHCS is different from the traditional thermal module, which usually uses a gap pad as thermal interface material to fill any mechanical gap. In the DHCS solution, we have replaced the gap pad with a self-adjusting copper block that directly contacts the CPU. Moderate pressure keeps the dynamic block in tight contact with the CPU surface for excellent heat transfer. This pulls heat away from theCPU quickly and helps the CPU achieve ultimate computing performance.
Dynamic Block Prevents Board Warp
In order to improve heat dissipation, we reduced theheat conduction path; now the CPU contacts the copper block directly without any intervening material. Since the DHCS is a compressible and resilient unit, moderate pressure is sufficient to mate the block with the CPU. This reduction in pressure on the CPU die takes a load off the underlying PCB. Reduced loading means the board stays flat.
Easy, Rock Solid Assembly with COMe
The DHCS thermal solution uses standard screws for assembly, so users need only follow the torque specification of the screw type to assemble the thermal module to the carrier board. This makes assembly easy, and screw heads can be firmly locked to the thermal module to avoid loosening if the system is to be operated in a vibrating environment.
Dynamic Heat Conduction System Thermal Solution Features
- DHCS mates dynamic block tightly to CPU for better heat transfer performance.
- Copper-based block provides better thermal conductivity.
- The dynamic block is flexible; moderate yet sufficient pressure keeps COM board flat.
- Standard screws prevent assembly loosening even under vibration.
- Supports pre-assembly with COM Express module.
