ANNOUNCEMENT (March 22, 2018): PDI 360, the valued and trusted tool acquired by Korn Ferry in 2012, is transitioning users to Korn Ferry 360 multi-rater tool. Just as comprehensive, Korn Ferry 360 is an updated replacement for PDI 360 and Voices 360. To review a sample report, click here. (Korn Ferry 360 replaced Voices 360 12/2017.)
We no longer offer the PDI 360 or Voices 360. Updates to this page are coming soon. But, for more information on Korn Ferry 360 or to partner with us to deliver this instrument, please contact Karen Galli at firstname.lastname@example.com. For information on the transferability of your PDI 360 certification, contact Korn Ferry directly.
The PDI Profilor is a 360 feedback tool that gathers information from you and people that you work with regularly, to create a full 360 view perspective of yourself. The Profilor helps you enhance specific areas of performance, from the individual contributor role up to senior executive.
We layout the entire feedback process for you and begin with having a kickoff session to ensure that the participant and boss have leveled expectations about the process and outcomes. We offer pre-debrief tools on selecting Raters and communicating the 360 goals with involved parties. The full cycle management of the entire 360 process is handled electronically and confidentially at One Leadership Group.
There are nine possible Profilor Models to choose from: Schedule your PDI 360 Session now. Call us at (201) 503-5298
- Individual Contributor
- First-Level Leader
- Internal Consultant
- Mid-Level Leader
- Business Unit Leader
- Key Account Manager
- Sales Manager
- IT Manager
- Business Unit Leader
- Senior Executive
No matter which Profilor Model you choose, our consultants are expert facilitators in debriefing and interpreting the report with you. As the participant, you complete a questionnaire about yourself, and ask your boss, colleagues, direct reports and others to complete their perspective questionnaires. The collected feedback is then used to create your feedback report. From there, you receive a debrief with a certified PDI 360 facilitator to analyze the results and plan your course of action of understanding your behaviors.
The feedback collection is conducted online and interprets the data of the Factors, Competencies and Behaviors associated with your chosen Profilor Model. For a FREE consultation, call us at (201) 503-5298.
Within each Factor category, Competencies and Behaviors are examined. And, from each group of raters, you can see how your behaviors are perceived. You can also contrast the raters' perception against your self-perception. An extremely valuable part of the report displays your top 20 behaviors and allows you the opportunity to align them with the critical competencies that your boss has identified. Conversely, the report identifies your lowest 20 behaviors and contrasts them with the same critical competencies that your boss identified.
With a PDI 360 certified facilitator, your debrief will provide practical, well-rounded insights into your job performance, strengths, and development needs. It also paints a comprehensive picture of the specific skills that you need to develop and enhance performance. Finally, the debrief provides a basis for creating an individualized, actionable development plan. To see a sample report for a Mid-Level Leader, click here.
We are happy to announce that we offer PDI Ninth House 360 nationally and internationally! Inquire about the many languages and norm groups that PDI 360 is offered.
To learn more about the PDI 360 in a free consultation or to schedule your 360 for a virtual or face-to-face feedback session, call us at 201-503-5298.
Managers and individuals interested in developing their leadership style through perception, visibility, and influence
Program Delivery Options
- One 3 hour session (in-person, phone or video conference)

A case study from the Salt River Mortuary, Cape Town, South Africa; one of the world's busiest mortuaries.
Tuberculosis (TB) is a common infectious disease, usually caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The disease usually attacks the lungs, but may also affect other organs or areas of the body. It is spread through the air by sputum particles, particularly when the patient coughs or sneezes. Left untreated, the disease can be fatal1, 2.
Tuberculosis is classified as a granulomatous inflammatory disease. The granuloma prevents dissemination of the mycobacteria and provides a local environment for interaction with cells of the immune system. Necrosis occurs in the centre of tubercles3.
Global infection rates of tuberculosis are highest in Sub-Saharan Africa4. Various factors make people more susceptible to TB infections, among them HIV infection, which increases the risk of contracting the disease by 10%1.
Case Presentation
A 56-year old African male died while awaiting trial at Pollsmoor Prison in the Western Cape of South Africa. He had completed a course of treatment for TB and had been receiving anti-retroviral treatment for HIV at the time of his death. He had been a heavy "stubborn" smoker. He had reportedly been coughing up blood prior to his death.
Imaging and Diagnosis
There were no signs of blunt or sharp force trauma to the body. A Lodox full-body X-ray was performed at the time of post mortem and showed consolidation of the left lung, which is consistent with possible pulmonary tuberculosis (TB).
There was a history that the deceased had suffered from TB and had been coughing up blood the day before his death. This is a common symptom of TB.
Since no foul play was suspected, and the X-ray showed infection with TB, an internal post mortem examination was not performed, and the cause of death was given as natural disease, most likely TB.
One third of the world's population is thought to have been infected with M. tuberculosis, with new infections occurring in about 1% of the population each year. In 2010, there were an estimated 8.8 million new cases and 1.5 million associated deaths, mostly occurring in developing countries. More people in the developing world contract tuberculosis because of compromised immunity, largely due to high rates of HIV infection and the corresponding development of AIDS5.
Among those at risk of contracting TB are the health care providers who serve these patients3,5. This extends to the forensic pathologists to whom it often falls to investigate the deaths of these patients. Should it not be possible to establish a TB diagnosis via X-ray imaging, an autopsy becomes necessary. During autopsy of the lungs, exposure to the TB bacilli is unavoidable, putting those in the immediate vicinity at risk of infection.
In this case, there were no signs of trauma and no foul play was suspected. The Lodox X-ray image confirmed this, and also revealed the presence of TB infection in the lungs. Along with the history of TB and coughing up blood, this information was sufficient to confirm a natural death as a result of TB. Without the high-quality X-ray image, an autopsy would have been necessary to confirm the TB, with the inherent risks of infection.
A full-body radiograph, in conjunction with an external examination, was sufficient to rule out trauma because no fractures or other injuries were visible. Radiographic evidence, in conjunction with the medical history, was able to confirm the suspected TB as the cause of death. By avoiding an internal post-mortem examination, the medical examiner was spared the risk of being exposed to the bacillus unnecessarily.

Gamers around the world are getting ready to mouse-click the night away with the afternoon launch of Diablo III.
The action RPG, first announced in June 2008, will be available for PC and Mac at 5 PM time today in Australia, New Zealand, the Americas, and South East Asia. Other launch times for Diablo III will vary by region.
If you're itching to start slaying demons, grabbing loot and levelling up as soon as Diablo III launches, here's what you need to know:
Diablo III system requirements
Blizzard has posted minimum and recommended Diablo III system requirements on its website. I won't re-post them all here, but most desktops and gaming laptops released in the last few years shouldn't have a problem with the game. The game will run on Windows XP or newer or Mac OS X 10.6.8 or higher. Again, the game requires a broadband internet connection to play.
Diablo III in a nutshell
Diablo III tells a typical fantasy story: Players must fight against a demon onslaught with a hero from one of five character classes – the slow but powerful Barbarian, the crossbow-wielding Demon Hunter, the quick close-ranged Monk, the minion-summoning Witch Doctor and the spellcasting Wizard. Players can also fight alongside a computer-controlled follower in single-player or in cooperation with other players online.
The game is controlled mostly by mouse, with players pointing and clicking to move and attack the enemy, though many keyboard shortcuts are available. By killing demons and completing quests, players earn new items and skills to make their character stronger. For a detailed look at Diablo III's ability system, check out David Sirlin's excellent rundown. In short, Diablo III lets players change their special abilities at will, a departure from previous games that allows for lots of experimentation with new powers.
Outside the actual game, one of Diablo III's more interesting additions is Auction House, a place where players can buy and sell items from one another. Players can use in-game currency on the market, but a separate section of Auction House will allow them to trade with real-world money.
Diablo III reviews: it'll be a while
I've heard from other writers that Blizzard didn't offer early Diablo III review copies to the press. That means you won't see any reviews of the finished game for at least a few days, as critics grind their way through the game along with the masses. You may see some reviews based on the beta, which only allowed characters to reach level 13. For more detailed reviews on the later stages of the game, be prepared to wait. We here at Macworld Australia have a copy but the review is still in progress, we will let you all know when we do.

Blood pressure, new parameters allow older patients to have a slightly higher pressure to be considered normal
Blood pressure tends to rise in older folks, and the business of healthcare has made a practice of having many older folks take blood pressure medications. Now, it appears that a higher number for blood pressure may in fact be normal.
Hypertension Guidelines Can Be Eased, Panel Says
By GINA KOLATA
New guidelines suggest that people over 60 can have a higher blood pressure than previously recommended before starting treatment to lower it. The advice, criticized by some physicians, changes treatment goals that have been in place for more than 30 years.
Until now, people were told to strive for blood pressures below 140/90, with some taking multiple drugs to achieve that goal. But the guidelines committee, which spent five years reviewing evidence, concluded that the goal for people over 60 should be a systolic pressure of less than 150. And the diastolic goal should remain less than 90.
Systolic blood pressure, the top number, indicates the pressure on blood vessels when the heart contracts. Diastolic, the bottom number, refers to pressure on blood vessels when the heart relaxes between beats.
Essentially, the committee determined that there was not strong evidence for the blood pressure targets that had been guiding treatment, and that there were risks associated with the medications used to bring pressures down.
The committee, composed of 17 academics, was tasked with updating guidelines last re-examined a decade ago. Their report was published online on Wednesday in The Journal of the American Medical Association.

The Apple Store has been down for some time this afternoon, with most people speculating that it's because iPhone 4 will be available for pre-order for those in the US, Germany, UK, France, and Japan. And while that's certainly likely, we've heard that there might be a couple of surprises in store.
Our favourite rumour source has revealed that there will be a new Mac mini released tomorrow. What can we expect? Well, here are the full specs:
Mac mini 2.4/2x1G/320/SD/AP/BT – USA MC270LL/A
So that means we can expect a 2.4GHz processor (could it be an i5?), 2GB RAM, and 320GB hard drive. It may not be an earth-shattering upgrade, but it's always nice to see products getting refreshed.
Also, word is that iPhone 4 pre-orders will be an international affair – and not just limited to the countries getting the first-round release. While that probably doesn't mean shipping dates will change at all, it will be nice to know pricing for the brand new iPhone.
Oh, and thanks Mr X for the heads-up. Now we just have to wait for the store's return.

It's the longest day of the year for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere today. We get 17 hours of daylight. No wonder I was up so early this morning and couldn't figure out why. Light was blasting in the skylight early for sure.
Our boy Trump thinks everyone in the Orlando club should have been armed last week. Well, there was an armed security guard but if every small business needs to hire a small security force there will be a lot of places going out of business. Funny, I grew up in a rural area and when we got our guns we were taught that guns and alcohol don't mix. A loyal Trump supporter actually suggested on the radio that people shouldn't drink then. Yes, this go back to the era of Prohibition and Tommy guns!
Coco had an excellent day at the Marquette University Soccer Camp working with the oldest group which includes some soon to be freshman. He held his own in the 92 degree heat. A first class operation and they had a trainer on duty making sure everyone stayed hydrated with massive containers of Gatorade and water that they brought out. Equipment issues were quickly fixed and the coaching staff really knows their stuff. Kudos to Marquette for an excellent facility also.

Cruise Industry Outlook for 2017
Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), the world's largest cruise industry association, have released their report for State of the Cruise Industry Outlook for 2017.
The report expects cruise travel to remain popular with an estimate of 25.3 million passengers for the year. This compares with 15.8 million passengers sailing 10 years ago.
Also in 2017 more ships will be available as cruise lines will be debuting 26 new vessels for ocean, river and other specialty journeys worth nearly $6.8 billion and a total of 97 new cruise ships with an estimated investment of $53 billion by 2026.
The cruise industry is responding to global demand and we are highly encouraged by both the short-term and long- term outlook," said Cindy D'Aoust, president and CEO, CLIA. "From technological advancements and deployment of new ships to new ports and destinations around the world, the industry continues to respond to desires of today's travelers resulting in steady growth and strong economic impact around the world.
Worldwide the cruise industry generated $117 billion total output with a full-time employment of 956,597 who earned $38 billion in wages in 2015.
Cruise industry expenditures generated $117 billion in total output worldwide, supporting 956,597 full-time equivalent employees who earned $38 billion in income in 2015.
In the 2017 State of the Cruise Industry Outlook, CLIA is predicting the top trends that will influence the cruise industry the most are:
- New Generation Takes to the Water' Studies have found that younger passengers-Millennials and Generation X will become more interested in cruise line traveling rather than traditional land travel with tours or camping.
- More Private Islands on Cruise Itineraries' as private islands have become popular travel destinations along with river cruises which offer a different type of travel experience. CLIA cruise line members currently have 184 river cruise ships operating with 13 new ships on order for 2017.
One other area of cruising gaining in popularity is Adventure' travel or 'Expedition Cruises' which offer excursions to destinations such as Antartica and, not surprisingly, usually sold out.

Nose Surgery in Chicago
Deciding to Undergo Nose Surgery
Has the shape of your nose bothered you and distracted you from the beautiful features of your face? Has it been altered due to injury, or cause breathing problems? With nose surgery, known as a rhinoplasty procedure, Dr. Galiano can help you improve your nose's appearance and proportion to your face in a natural way.
You may be a good candidate for nose surgery if:
- You are seeking an improved appearance of your nose, or have breathing problems that this surgery may correct
- You are physically healthy and don't smoke
- You are of the age of 13 or older and your facial growth development is complete
- You have realistic expectations
Schedule a consultation to talk to Dr. Galiano about your goals and candidacy for nose surgery.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with rhinoplasty procedures. Dr. Galiano is happy to speak with you about any questions or concerns you may have regarding this procedure.
Dr. Galiano's Natural Approach to Nose Surgery
Dr. Galiano has achieved excellent results in nose surgery and uses the latest technology to predict your outcome. During your pre-operative visit he will use 3D imaging to show you what to expect with your new nose. Dr. Galiano believes that in rhinoplasty surgery the airway is very important- a beautiful nose is a strong nose! As in nature, form follows function. This surgeon can take an open or closed approach to your surgery, and specializes in complex secondary nose surgeries and ethnic noses.
See the results of real patients who have rhinoplasty surgery from Dr. Galiano in the nose surgery before and after gallery.
What Happens During Rhinoplasty?
Rhinoplasty is performed on an outpatient basis; anesthesia is used to keep patients comfortable and pain-free during surgery.
If Dr. Galiano has chosen the open approach, he makes an incision across the strip of skin separating the nostrils (called the columella); this incision line may leave a slight, barely-noticeable scar. If Dr. Galiano has chosen the closed approach, he makes the incision within the nostrils to prevent any visible scarring. Through the incision, he adjusts the supporting internal nasal structures.
Depending on the treatment plan, Dr. Galiano can add or remove bone or cartilage, shorten or lengthen the nose or reduce or increase the size of the nose. He may smooth a bump on the bridge of the nose, tweak the nostrils or refine the nasal tip. If needed, Dr. Galiano can use a cartilage graft from the septum (internal wall separating the nostrils), bone from the skull, silicone implants, fillers or fat grafts.
After surgery, the nose (and eye area) is usually swollen, bruised, tender or numb. A splint or packing may be used to support the nose's improved structure as it heals. Oral medication can relieve any pain or discomfort.
Rhinoplasty patients must keep their head elevated — even while sleeping — and avoid strenuous activity or movement during the initial recovery period. Dr. Galiano closely monitors his rhinoplasty patients' recovery, removes stitches, splints and packing when needed and advises when it is safe to return to a normal activity level.
Patients love Dr. Galiano for his friendly and assuring manner. Our team will ensure that all of your questions and concerns are addressed before and after surgery. Specific instructions for care following your nose surgery will be provided by Dr. Galiano and his team.
Additional information about the rhinoplasty procedure, can be found courtesy of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.
Patients are pleased with the natural-looking results Dr. Galiano achieves with their new beautiful noses, which enhances their attractive facial structures. Imagine your new nose today!
Contact Dr. Galiano and his team for a nose surgery consultation in Chicago today!

I received a few phone calls about my blog about southern dialect. This is an important topic, because I write and edit books using dialect. A close friend, also an author, addressed me (her opinion) that writing in dialect is akin to making fun of culture.
"Not at all," I said. "Using dialect is a celebration--a preservation of the south or of any area--of culture--of tradition. For if authors don't write in dialect, nuances of speech may be erased. Part of southern history will be lost.
When I wrote the first Jack tale book, I begged for the addition of more dialect. However, New York editors were more tuned in to the Chicago Manual of Style and Webster's dictionary. (Note" second Jack tale book due for release in Sept. 2008.)
Then when "Voices of the North Carolina Mountains" was in copy editing (see book tab for description), the editor called to say that I had words in the document that were not in Webster's. "Of course," I said. "There are many southern mountain words that are not in the dictionary."
"Sorry," responded the editor, "if the word is not in the dictionary, you can't use it in your document. Now let me know when you come up with a substitute word for 'sprangle'."
"But, it will take all the flavor and history out of the text," I said. "The dialect and old expressions are the heart of the book."
There was no winning or losing. I got lucky when my editor in Charleston realized the copy editor in Massachusetts didn't understand the purpose of the book--to capture southern history. Lesson learned. But "sprangled" stayed in.
The average person probably thinks that southerners only use expressions such as "ya'll", "over yonder," "happy as a clam,"sick as a dog," "stickin' your foot in your mouth," "down the road a piece." However, I recently heard some that I've never heard before even though I've spent my entire life in South Carolina, North Carolina, or Florida. (I'm not counting the year I spent in Portland, Oregon.) The following are the sayin's that my mother would have said are "dillies."
all vine and no tater--meaning superficial
organ recital--growling stomach
three pickles shy of a barrel--dumb
purse proud--cheap or stingy
"There must be a "blue million" ways to say things southern," Miss Nettie Murrill of Morehead City, North Carolina once said. And she knew at least half a million. She also said "cattywampus" instead of "crooked" and "mommicked" when she was aggravated in the worst way.
In his book, "If This Ain't True, Grits Ain't Groceries," Glenn put it in the proper context. He said, "All my life I've been told I talk funny cause I shorten some words when I speak. But when I was young, everybody around talked the same. Now we're told we have an Appalachian accent. It came to me that such a way of speaking needs to be preserved as part of mountain history."
And, he's right. Language has to be preserved.

HCG Zero Capsules Review
Following the HCG diet can leave your metabolism in shambles, resulting in rapid weight gain as soon as you return to a normal diet and making us cringe at the idea of yet another product that promotes this extreme low-calorie diet for weight loss. Despite its name, however, HCG Zero has nothing to do with the hormone or its 500 calorie routine.
HCG Zero is a hormone free way to lose weight, supposedly offering all the fat burning (and unproven) benefits of HCG without requiring consumers to cut calories to dangerously low levels. With HCG Zero, you supposedly have a standard mix of fat burners and appetite suppressants to get your weight loss goals back on track without the negative side effects.
We can't help but be skeptical, however, of a product that capitalizes on an ingredient name without actually including that ingredient inside the product, so to find out for ourselves whether or not HCG Zero can really produce the extreme weight loss results we're looking for, we decided to take a closer look at its unique and revolutionary new formula.
Inside HCG Zero
African Mango – African Mango is rich in fiber and antioxidants that can help rid your body of toxins that may be slowing down your metabolism.
Guarana Seed Extract – This African cactus has been used for years by bushmen to help suppress the appetite while on a long journey.
Green Tea Extract – For centuries, Asian cultures have used Green Tea due to its wide variety of healthy benefits, and this all-natural ingredient may be able to help increase energy levels while decreasing appetite.
Razberi-K – This patented aromatic compound has recently proven its ability to boost metabolism without needing to interact with the central nervous system. Instead, Razberri – k helps to render fats indigestible by combining with lipids to form molecules too big to be digested.
Citrus Aurantium: Also known as Bitter Orange, Citrus Aurantium is considered to be a powerful supplement for weight loss that offers all the benefits of caffeine or ephedra but without the negative side effects.
Pros of HCG Zero
• Hormone Free
• Caffeine Free
• Contains clinically proven ingredients
• Should increase energy levels
Cons of HCG Zero
• Questionable effectiveness
• Ingredients listed as proprietary blend
• Expensive retail price
Overall, HCG Zero follows a fairly standard formula, including a mix of popular ingredients for weight loss that have proven to successfully promote a reduction in weight in other fat burning formulas. We are especially pleased with the fact that HCG Zero does not require consumers to follow a strict 500 calorie diet nor does it contain any ingredients that act simply as fillers.
However, HCG Zero is fairly expensive for a formula that you don't know exactly what concentrations of ingredients it contains. Without knowing how much of an ingredient is inside, you won't be able to determine how effective HCG Zero really is. There are numerous fat burning formulas on the market that are not only proven to work, but list every ingredient inside so you know exactly what you're getting into. We suggest shopping around before deciding whether or not HCG Zero is right for you.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Acuity Brands Inc. AYI, -0.11% said late Monday it plans to spin off its Acuity Specialty Products Group Inc. business into an independent publicly-traded company. The new company, which will be named at a later date, will provide cleaning and maintenance products and will have annual sales of nearly $600 million. The spin-off will be accomplished through a tax-free distribution to Acuity shareholders in the fall of 2007, the company said. Acuity shareholders are expected to receive one share of the new company for every two shares held. The new company is expected to be listed on the Nasdaq, to pay an annual dividend of 16 cents a share, and have debt of roughly $70 million. In anticipation of the spin-off, the company named John Morgan as president and chief executive of the business. Acuity added that it will continue to own Acuity Brands Lighting Inc.

My Depression Was the Worst It Has Ever Been During My Pregnancy
What is a time of joy for many women was my darkest hour.
As I write this, I'm having a no good, very bad day. I don't want to whine about said Bad Day, however. In fact, I thought I had taken steps to avoid it entirely. What I had set out to do instead was to go to bed early last night (at the inception of what would become today's Bad Day-ness), and get up early this morning. I'm not generally a morning person and I didn't have an early appointment today, but I sold myself the lie about the early bird and the worm, so I set my alarm to ring about 4 hours from when I went to bed.
I'm a recovered insomniac who had to work really hard to teach myself to sleep, and these days I know better than to intentionally cheat sleep without an extraordinary reason or a paycheck on the line. But I was determined to have a Good Day today, and I insisted upon getting up early. I went hard at the gym and I sat down to write an entirely different post, and my body was like NOPE.
I should've taken Roxette's advice and listened to my heart. It would have served me better to have slept a bit more this morning instead of doing what I thought I should do. It would behoove me to get back to listening to my body more and trying to honor and respect the connection between my head, my heart, and all the rest of this blood and bone and tissue and sinew that I inhabit.
Because, it seems, it's gonna happen anyway. Barring a significant neuro-physiological block or detour, our minds and bodies are linked in ways we often ignore and/or take for granted. They can operate in beautiful synchronization at times, and they're also gonna act in collusion to get our attention if need be.
What follows are the 5 things my body did today to get my attention, which it did. In a big way.
1. My hands are shaking.
Well, they're not exactly shaking, as much as they are rapidly pivoting at the wrists. So, not exactly buzzing with tremors, but more like the silly hand shake from the old Orangina commercials done at rapid speed. (Doubling down on mentioning Roxette and really showing my age with this reference, I know.)
It's odd and it's unpleasant, because all day I've been trying to focus, and there's this jarring, rapid movement occurring at the ends of my arms. I know that many people's bodies are in some state of perpetual motion, like a bouncing of a leg or a tapping foot, even when sitting "still." That has not been my experience, and I stop my hands every time I notice them. They just start up again after a bit.
I've had some racing heartbeat issues associated with panic and over-exercising in the past, and there's been a bit of that today, but it feels very concentrated in my hands. Well, my hands and my jaw:
2. I'm grinding my teeth.
Apparently, I picked this charming habit up about 5 years ago. I had a patch of time when I was getting recurring migraines, and it turns out that the sleep I was finally able to get included other activities, like vivid nightmares and this occasional tooth-grinding business. I don't do it all the time, but when I do, I wake up with a very sore jaw and a headache that radiates up and outward from it.
Today, the grinding made like Freddie Krueger and used what normally happens while I'm asleep to hurt me IRL. I'm no neuroscientist, but I know that somehow my brain has to signal my jaw to clench and grind my teeth, and I understand the concept of subconscious behavior, but what amazes me is the intensity it has to reach for me to even register it. It's like, all of a sudden, I'll feel a sharp shooting pain and it'll feel like my head is in a vice.
How long has this been going on in my head while I'm attempting to do other stuff?! How long have I been scooting around ignoring this throbbing pain in my head until I suddenly and urgently have no choice but to pay attention? It's amazing how much pain we can walk around in until we're forced to confront it.
3. I'm nauseous and I have no appetite.
This isn't really that out of the ordinary, unfortunately. What is out of the ordinary is my response to it. Following years of unhealthy habits and disordered eating, I trained myself to eat more and better, not unlike the work I had to put into the ability to sleep at night.
I often joke that my infancy and childhood were so traumatic that I never learned the absolute basics of babying: eating and sleeping. Once upon an unhealthier time, hunger pangs were a welcome feeling of hollow "victory." That is no longer the case, but I was so overwhelmed and distracted today that I didn't even immediately respond to the swirly-sickly feeling churning in my stomach that turned into growling like a tiger in the night.
I didn't eat my Emergency Whole Wheat Crackers that I carry in my bag, nor did I even remember my Fruit Snacks Stash in case of blood sugar emergency while on the go. I got some fresh fruit that I sort of shrugged at for way too long before eating it mirthlessly.
I've worked too hard and come too far for this to have been today's food experience. Gotta do better.
4. Attack of the Menses
OK, periods happen. But mine showed up and showed out less than two weeks after its cyclical predecessor had left the building. Yikes. I was really not ready to have any further uterine lining evacuating my body again so soon. Although I'm fortunate to not suffer monthly in the way that some of my sisters do with our dear Aunt Flo, I have PCOS and irregularity is my norm. Still. Two periods within two weeks is an extreme that I can only recall having happened once before.
If I'm going to be irregular, I'm more prone to be late or miss it entirely. The period itself is not extreme right now, but it's here and it's uninvited and I'm just trying to weather the storm with gratitude that it's not also heavy or especially crampy. (Otherwise I'd be at the doctor's office.)
5. Hives!
Hives are pretty much my body's way of tripping the emergency alarm. Every few months, I break out in hives at times of high stress, in a very specific pattern on my neck and my left underarm. WTF, body? Not that I would prefer if they covered more surface area, but I marvel at this odd specificity.
Hives come on so suddenly; luckily their departure can be just as swift. I have to check my medical privilege in that A) I don't believe I'm actually physically ill right now, and B) I have access to medical care if need be. I already have a fantastic ointment from my fantastic dermatologist that calms the extreme itchiness of the hives almost immediately upon application, and I hope to get more sleep tonight and wake up to my body being less of a battlefield.
The startling thing to me--in addition to the symptoms themselves making themselves known today—is the suddenness, the urgency. Of course I don't mean to casually poo-poo the idea that they could be something physical or something larger, but I know I've been trying to manage this time of extreme stress and loss, and I think my body is telling me I'm falling short.
I'm reminded today that as much credence as there is to the old "mind over matter" chestnut, we are still served best by honoring our feelings and truly experiencing each step on our proverbial travels. Good and bad. I had made up my mind to fight through the day, and my body shouted at me to slow down.
I'm listening, corporeal Pia.

Be Kind Rewind
Michel Gondry's first stab at broad-ish comedy is hit-or-miss, but his stroke of mediocrity is almost any other director's stroke of genius.
In the teensy-weensy town of Passaic, New Jersey, there exists a dying breed: a video-rental store--as in VHS, not DVD. Just across the street from said store exists a power plant. And in between the store and power plant exists a doofus named Jerry (Jack Black). Yeah, it's a disaster waiting to happen (at least in writer-director Michel Gondry's kooky mind). One night, when Jerry sets out to sabotage the power plant whose microwaves he swears are killing him, that disaster happens. He winds up getting zapped and, even worse, erasing the contents of every single tape at the nearby rental store, Be Kind Rewind. It was already at risk of being demolished in favor of an aesthetic upgrade to the building, but this turn of events would seem to be the nail in its coffin. And when a faithful customer (Mia Farrow) threatens to tell Be Kind Rewind's owner (Danny Glover) unless Ghostbusters is in stock by the end of the day, Jerry and his friend Mike (Mos Def), the store's loyal employee, must think and act quickly. And so they do, recreating Ghostbusters and every other movie that is requested for rental. Unwitting customers are none the wiser, and before long their store-made movies become a hit in the neighborhood and possibly a source of sufficient enough funds to save Be Kind Rewind from demolition. That is until Hollywood comes knockin'.
Jack Black continues to expand his comedic horizons with Be Kind, proving that virtually any role calling for funny has his name written on it. This isn't his prototypical flaunt-your-paunch, scream-like-a-maniac role, and as a result, Black's versatility within the realm has never been so apparent. He gives the well-meaning dimwit several layers--vulnerability, imagination, pitifulness, ambition--but maintains the recognizable energy for which we all know and love him for. Rapper-turned-actor Mos Def, however, is rather bland in playing straight-man to Black's klutz. It's occasionally a nice disparate dynamic between the two actors, but Mos, much like some of his past movies (16 Blocks, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy), just doesn't seem suited for the style at play. Glover, meanwhile, is suited for Be Kind, lending stability to the quasi-fairytale as an old-school sage. Then there's Farrow, who only further tarnishes her once legendary status with another laughable role choice and performance. Of course, it's hard to ever look at Farrow the same way following her role in last year's worst movie, The Ex.
In a somewhat disappointing turn of events, Michel Gondry's (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Science of Sleep) screenplay for Be Kind Rewind just doesn't make the grade. It goes from a silly conceit in the beginning to a way-too-feel-good ending, using filmmaking as a sappy, uniting-the-people cure-all to get from point A to B. And oddly enough, the movie often resembles a traditional, slapstick-y comedy. Luckily, Gondry the director comes to the rescue. Chief among his accomplishments here are the meta moments, the film-within-a-film sequences. The scenes are truly enlightening and elevate Be Kind a great deal. In fact, a movie full of such scenes would make a great next project for Gondry--and maybe would've made a better project out of Be Kind. The sequences, which thriftily remake mainstream classics like Ghostbusters, Driving Miss Daisy and Robocop--the only kind of movies that would exist in a VHS-rental store--offer a glimpse into Gondry's fantasy mind, where the creativity wheels are always spinning and the camera is always rolling. Some of the remakes are featured in Be Kind's trailer, and it's unfortunately one of those cases where the trailer shows the movie's best parts. But it's still worth seeing, and his fans will likely not suffer such a letdown.
Bottom Line
Hollywood.com rated this film 2 1/2 stars.

If you own a business or are in charge of marketing one you are aware of how important promoting it is. You may have tried traditional newspaper ads, billboards or even the radio! Video marketing is considered a popular and effective method of modern marketing. Read on to find out about how to use video marketing to increase exposure and gain new business.
Do not expect customers to watch a video that is longer than 20 minutes. You may need all of that time if you are showing your audience how a certain product works. If you're just speaking to the audience and advertising, then 10 minutes should be your limit.
The key to a successful marketing video is to be brief and make your point known. The normal person's span of attention is minimal. They want instant gratification when looking for information. Longer subjects can be cut into a series of videos.
When you are posting marketing videos you want to choose your titles carefully. Make sure it relates to your video and is easy to remember. A really good title can help to draw curious viewers in. Take time to make relevant and creative titles for great video marketing.
It's better if you make a wide selection of videos. Put up videos on a regular basis so that viewers will visit your channels frequently looking for new content. As you cover more topics, you'll attract a wider audience.
Try to create content that will intrigue viewers. Interesting, fun, newsworthy content keeps people coming back for more information about your business. If you have boring videos, even the video marketing powerhouse YouTube can't help you. People go online for entertainment, not sales pitches. The more interesting your videos, the more traffic you will attract.
Production Value
When you go to a convention or other event, bring along the recording camera. You can talk with an expert or just show how your experience went. Also, should you be speaking in public, it should be recorded.
Do not fret about your video production value. The production value of your video is not related to your results. You should focus on the quality of your content and on sharing your video efficiently. Some of the most basic video marketing have been done by large corporations like Dell or Apple.
Don't do everything yourself. Other people may surprise you with their take on your product. Talk to others about what content they would like to see. Do brainstorming with these people whenever you can so that you're able to advertise more effectively.
You should have a screenshot of your site included in your video. Your viewers can see the site and its setup. Another valuable use of screenshots would be in tutorial videos. To include screenshots, simply save your screenshot to your desktop and then add it to your video using a video editing service.
If you do not feel confident in your ability to make videos, you can hire someone to create on your behalf. Ask your viewers to create a video and have everyone vote on it, giving the winner a great prize, along with getting their video shown. Make sure people know that they have to surrender their videos to you to get the prizes.
Always choose interesting titles for your videos. A powerful and relevant title will draw viewers to your videos. Your title will also give them an idea of what to expect from your video. A creative title can really help to drive viewers to your site.
Short videos are better than long once. Your videos should not last for more than a couple of minutes or you will lose your viewers. Five minutes is probably okay as well, but do not make it any longer than that. Short and sweet is always a great motto.
An effective method in producing your content is by working with other people. Work with your colleagues, employees, as well as your friends and family. Make sure to give them credit at the end so they can have their name in lights.
When you're working on videos, you must be yourself as well as transparent. Viewers are interested in getting to know who you really are. They will buy from you if they feel like they know you better. It is better when they can associate a friendly face with the product.
If your video's objective is pushing a product to the individuals watching, make certain that you include some hyperlink near the bottom of the frame or the page's margin. Try to include the link inside the video player. The advantage of including the link in the player is that when the video is shared socially, it will be available for those who want more information.
If you are not seeing results right away, you should just give it some time. Listen to whatever feedback you get and make an effort to improve your videos. As you make more videos, you will naturally improve, and learning to edit effectively will also help.
Interesting content is king. It should be entertaining and/or newsworthy. Boring videos will always fail. Viewers expect videos that are interesting and helpful, not boring advertising. Interesting videos ultimately increase traffic.
Some simple advertising topics should only be around 30 seconds or so, but more informational types of videos are better at a couple minutes or more. People have very short attention spans these days, so make sure you capture their attention quickly to keep them engaged throughout the video.
Always carry a video camera when attending trade shows, conventions or other industry events. Opportunities to interview niche experts will present themselves. Plus, viewers may find footage of the event interesting. Also, should you be speaking in public, it should be recorded.
The tantalizing "See what happens next…" are words that can benefit any video marketer. It keeps viewers coming back weekly to see what else you've made. You can even string your videos together after you've made them all.
Social Media
Showpiece videos are a good way to promote your company, but you have to be sure not to overdo things. Such videos are pricey to create. Instead, try to focus on an affordable video that you can show off at an event or online. You might want to hire someone to make a video for you.
You should always tell your customers how to find you on social media in your videos. Someone who accidentally finds you on YouTube might not have the slightest clue that you are also on Facebook. This way, you can increase the amount of traffic you get on all of your sites. Social media sites that you link to a video can increase traffic by quite a bit.
Putting a watermark on your video isn't frowned upon, really. This is a good way to avoid stolen videos. Use a semi-transparent logo so as not to block anything important in your video, and place it where it can be easily seen.
If you do not feel confident in your ability to make videos, you can hire someone to create on your behalf. Run video contests and provide prizes to those who create the best videos. Advise people that the video that wins will be utilized to help promote your project.
Successful video marketing utilizes other forms of social media for promotion. You must promote it using your website, social media accounts, and email. People cannot view it if they do not know it exists.
Embed the video within your domain to add a little extra attention on top of the usual YouTube traffic. This lets people see the video on your website, where your products and services can also be checked out. You should not lose views because views are counted regardless of whether the video is embedded or not.
Make "how-to" videos to market your business. Make sure that you do not leave out any important information. Viewers don't like it when they start watching something, only to be told that they have to go elsewhere for the "rest of the story". When providing services and products, people will look at your company.
Now that you're finished reading, you understand how useful video marketing can be. Traditional advertising methods are no longer as popular as they once were. With most of the world online, learning to market in new ways is essential. Put the advice you've just read into good use, and you will succeed in reaching a brand new audience.

The QD Design London Team were thrilled to reveal the brand new artwork for NOW 90 earlier this year, especially when Official Charts Company reported the album as the fastest selling compilation album in 2015 so far, selling 264,000 copies in its first week of sales!
Now 90's predecessor, Now That's What I Call Music 89, was the fastest selling album of 2014. Released in November last year, Now 89 has now sold 1.13m copies in the UK according to the Official Charts Company's sales data.
The series took its name from a 1920s advertising poster for Danish bacon featuring a pig saying "Now. That's What I Call Music" as it listened to a chicken singing. Richard Branson had bought the poster for his cousin, Simon Draper, to hang behind Draper's desk at the Virgin Records office. "He was notoriously grumpy before breakfast and loved his eggs in the morning, so I bought him the poster, framed it and had it hung behind his desk."
The pig became the mascot for the series, making its last appearance on Now That's What I Call Music 5, and more recently on the QD Design London sleeve artwork celebrating 30 years of Now.
QD Design London are very proud to work with the compilation franchise to create their iconic sleeves, having produced the instantly recognisable 3D Now That's What I Call Music! artwork for over two decades.

Our hair follicles have stem cells that help in hair growth. These cells helps to grow new follicles, thus new hair can grow on the scalp. This therapy gained popularity over the last few years. Stem cell therapy can be used to treat many medical diseases along with hair restoration.
Growth Factors are protein molecules which are naturally produced by our bodies. Different growth factors do different things. Growth factors function to regulate cell division and cell survival.
Stem cells have the ability to self-renew or multiply, meaning that they can repair and replace tissue in the human body. In other words, stem cells have the power to heal.
Every receptor on a cell has its own unique shape that can only receive a specific Growth Factor—almost like a key fitting into a lock. Once a Growth Factor and a receptor join, an electrical signal is sent to the nucleus of the cell, which either creates new cells or changes existing cells.
The Stem Cell Hair Technology Factor Program contains nine (9) essential growth factors and multi complex proteins which stimulate the hair follicle look thicker and fuller. The program also:
- Unblocks the follicle entrance
- Reduces excessive oil
- Kills bacteria caused by dandruff and inflammation
- Enhances stem cell metabolism activity, opening the delivery
- channel for nutrients
- Enhances nutrient delivery to the stem cell
- Stem cell hair growth factors inhibit DHT
- Provide essential nutrients and growth factors to stimulate the dermal layer to prolong and strengthen hair roots

The latest season of The Biggest Loser just got started Tuesday night. I've been hooked on NBC's inspirational weight-loss show for several years now, and have enjoyed seeing the astonishing transformations that contestants undergo during the six-month process (three months on the show, followed by three months at home before the final weigh-in). I regularly participate in the BL message boards posted by my friend Gail, on her Weight Loss Examiner site (here's a link, in case you're interested in following it further).
These contestants clearly have a huge advantage over the rest of us: Three months spent on the "ranch" -- time dedicated exclusively to weight loss, with crucial support in all areas: nutrition plans, physical trainers (Jillian and Bob), psychological counseling and medical monitoring.
Still, it has always seemed to me that exercise is the most important factor in their success, for the contestants spend HOURS in the gym every day. And I certainly have made working out a significant part of my own battle of the bulge. My exercise regimen has allowed me to be a little bit looser in my eating habits, indulging in "moderation" foods more than I might otherwise.
But a new article in Live Science may make me rethink this blase attitude about my eating habits. Researchers compared African American women in metropolitan Chicago with women in rural Nigeria. On average, the Chicago women weighed 184 pounds, while the Nigerian women were 127 pounds. Both groups had similar levels of exercise in their lives, but "the Nigerian diet is high in fiber and carbohydrates and low in fat and animal protein. By contrast, the Chicago diet is 40 percent to 45 percent fat and high in processed foods."
So, bottom line: Keep moving, absolutely; but you really need to watch what you eat!

"Me? Bored? Naaah..."
It takes ridiculous amounts of coffee & KND + Ben 10: Alien force to get me all stirred up. And that's just on weekends. Weekdays, especially Mondays, are a whole different level of personal distress. Which is why I'm currently coaxing my mind out of the zone of the half dead by juicing it up with fantasies of yours truly delivering -in scathing tones- Dilbert's rules of order to a chivvy office audience.
Now i have no idea who this Dilbert guy is, but I salute him for coming up with rules like:
-I can only please one person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow is not looking good either.
-Tell me what you need, and I'll tell you how to get along without it.
-Accept that some days you're the pigeon and some days the statue.
-I don't have an attitude problem, others have a perception problem.
-I don't suffer from stress. I am a carrier.
-You're slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter
-Everybody is somebody Else's weirdo....
...Wickedly fun no? But at this rate I'll probably ante it up to imaginary re-enactments of Carrie or the chain saw massacre so let's move on to something more wholesome like...say, lists. Now lists are fuuuun. Lists get me all perky and a perky Nyambura, is a veeery productive Nyambura. Besides, with lists, the possibilities are endless...you can make fun lists based on anything that pops into your head...
Take Entertainment weekly, who recently put together a list of 100 greatest characters in pop culture over the last 20 years, which basically features fictional women, men, ogres, muppets, babies & cartoon rockers who made a lasting impact after 1990. Most of my faves made the list (YAY!). Others evoked in me involuntary eye rolls & arched eyebrows... Borat? WTF!!!... Edward 'put-me-to-sleep' Cullen made the list & Vampire diaries' Damon Salvatore didn't? Worse, he's ranked ahead of HIMYM's Barney, The Shield's Vic Makey & Friday night lights Tim Riggins?!! Seriously???!!
Fuck their list, I say.
Here's MY greatest fictional characters (in pop culture) in the past 20 yrs list:
1. Capt. Jack Sparrow- Pirates of the Caribbean movies
2. Al Swearengen- Dead wood
3. Barney- How I met your mother
4. Damon Salvatore- Vampire Diaries
5. Jack Bauer- 24
6. Sydney Bristow -Alias
7. Veronica Mars- Veronica Mars
8. Keyser Soze- The Usual Suspects
9. Harry Potter - Harry Potter
10. Jax - Sons of Anarchy
11. Cameron- Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles
12. Omar-The wire
13. Vic Makey- The Shield
14. Gollum-Lord of the rings
15. The 'big man' (played by Papa Shirandula) in the very first Brrr coca cola commercial
16. Tim Riggins- Friday night lights
17. Don Draper- Mad men
18. Detective Alonzo Harris- Training day (After this performance, i never looked at Denzel the same way again)
19. Chuck Bass & Blair Waldorf- Gossip Girl (the Tv series)
20. Tony Soprano- The Sopranos
21. The Joker- Dark Knight
22. Chandler Bing- Friends
23. Sheldon, Leonard, Rajesh & Howard- Big Bang Theory (they're totally inseparable)

25. Dr. Bailey- Grey's Anatomy

27. Dr. House- House, M.D
28. Madea- From the Tyler Perry films & plays
29. Dexter Morgan- Dexter
30. Amanda Wood ward- Melrose Place
31. Lex Luthor-Smallville
Honorable mentions: (characters created before 1990 but still leave me smiling)
1. Fred Sanford- Sanford n Son
2. Dr. Huxtable- Cosby Show
3. Pepe Le Pew- Looney tunes
4. Steve Urkel- Family matters
There. Short n sweet...
You're already arching your eyebrow & backing up that lip curl with a Mscheeew! aren't you?....tempted to make an even cooler list & declare mine lame? See? FUN. Sure as hell beats doodling or playing solitaire...
Now back to work.
Mob wendos,
PS: Allow me to share the below excerpt from a speech delivered by James Cameron
"...Don't put limitations on yourself. Other people will do that for you. Don't do that to yourself. Don't bet against yourself. And take risk. NASA has this phrase that they like, 'Failure is not an option.' But failure has to be an option. In art and exploration, failure has to be an option. Because it is a leap of faith. And no important endeavor that required innovation was done without risk. You have to be willing to take those risks...In whatever you are doing, failure is an option. But fear is not..."

France vs. Belgium live stream info, channel, match preview: How to watch World Cup 2018 on TV and online
The World Cup semifinals begin on Tuesday with a match loaded with top-tier talent and with the potential for plenty of goals. France, a one-time World Cup champion, and Belgium face off in Saint Petersburg for a spot in the final, where they'll play either Croatia or England on Sunday in Moscow. This contest features French superstars Paul Pogba and Antoine Griezmann going up against Belgian superstars Eden Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne in what's surely to be an intense, back-and-forth battle.
These teams are on a tremendous roll and have knocked off some big opponents along the way. France finished first in Group C and then went on to beat Argentina (4-3) and Uruguay (2-0) to reach the semifinals. Meanwhile, Belgium won Group H, beat Japan (3-2) in the round of 16 and then stunned Brazil (2-1) in the quarterfinals.
Both teams are healthy and aren't facing any major concerns. They're expected to field their strongest teams for this one.
Here's how you can watch the match, plus odds and more. And be sure to return a half an hour before kickoff for our live blog of the game:

Why chicken has no taste
Why can't you taste the chicken in a chicken sandwich? Factory farmed chickens are fed only corn and soya* - a bland unnatural diet leaving them tasteless. What you taste in the sandwich is the spice added to disguise this truth.
*National Chicken Council - the voice of the chicken industry (but not the voice of chickens)

Home > J.E. & L.E. Mabee Library > Interlibrary Loan
If you have any questions about ILL, chat with us.
Interlibrary loan (ILL) is a service that allows UIW users to borrow books and obtain copies of articles not available in the UIW Library from other libraries throughout the United States. Our interlibrary loan service is meant to provide UIW users with the necessary materials for their education and research.
The UIW Library has a reciprocal service that lends books and provides copies of articles to users at other U.S. libraries. The loan period is three weeks. The provisions of the U.S. Copyright Law and individual library policies regulate both lending and borrowing of library materials.
UIW faculty, currently enrolled UIW students, and UIW staff and administrators are eligible to use interlibrary loan services. Alumni, TexShare visitors, and other guests are not eligible to use ILL.
In addition, eligible UIW users must be in good standing, meaning that no library fines or fees are owed.
UIW ILLiad
ILLiad is an online interlibrary loan service provided by the UIW Library. To use the system, you must first register using your UIW credentials. From then on, your requests can be made electronically from the library's website. The service allows you to track the progress of your request(s). An email will notify you when your material is available for pickup at the circulation desk or ready for electronic document retrieval in your ILLiad account.
Email your UIW ILLiad questions or comments to email@example.com.
Borrowing Requests
Once you have created your personal ILLiad account, you may fill out a new request form for a book, article, or other material. Include as much information as possible on the form for a quicker response.
Your online request is then submitted to the ILL Library Assistant for review. The ILL Library Assistant determines if the material requested is available in the UIW Library. If not, the request is submitted for processing. The request is placed with the five nearest libraries which own the requested material.
For more details on how to submit a borrowing request, please see the Interlibrary Loan LibGuide.
Fulfillment Time
On average, article requests are fulfilled in 3-4 days. Book and other loan requests are typically fulfilled in 11-12 days. In some cases, it can take several weeks to get a request filled. Be sure to submit your ILL requests well ahead of time to make certain you receive your material by the needed date.
The Interlibrary Loan Code of the U.S. (May, 2008) adopted by the American Library Association and regulations of individual libraries establish ILL conditions. Not all items can be loaned. Individual libraries reserve the right not to loan out rare books, reference books, entire journals, dissertations, audiovisual materials, or books in high demand. Some libraries will lend these materials for in-library use only.
Loan Length
The lending library determines loan length. You may only borrow the item for as long as the lending library has indicated. Borrowed items are sometimes renewable. Renewal requests can be submitted through ILLiad.
Items with due dates (any materials other than articles) must be returned to the Circulation Desk at the UIW Library on or before the due date. Overdue ILL materials block your UIW ILLiad account they are returned.
UIW does not charge fees for interlibrary loan borrowing or lending. However, if you lose or damage a book, the UIW Library may place a fee on your account through the Business Office for the amount invoiced by the lending library.
Copyright Restrictions
Under the guidelines of the 1976 U.S. Copyright Law as amended by consecutive enactments, a library within one calendar year may request photocopies of up to five journal articles from the last five years of publication of a journal title without infringing on the law. The ILLiad service keeps track of the number of requests made. Once the limit has been reached, the next copy must be purchased.
In addition, a library user may only request one article per issue of a journal. Requests in excess of this rule will be canceled.
Borrowing Textbooks
Purchasing a textbook is an essential part of your educational experience at UIW. Textbooks are meant to be consumable items, thus borrowing textbooks may be viewed as a violation of the fair use policy under the 1976 U.S. Copyright Law. As such, the UIW Library does not borrow or lend textbooks.
Distance Education students who do not reside in San Antonio may request books owned by the UIW Library using ILLiad. Materials will be checked out with an extended due date and mailed to the Distance Education student's home address. Instructions regarding returns will be provided with the item(s).
Distance Education students are also encouraged to use interlibrary loan for articles, which are delivered electronically. However, the UIW Library cannot mail books from other libraries to Distance Education students. Instead, Distance Education students are encouraged to use their local public library for interlibrary loan of books.
For further instruction on using interlibrary loan and UIW ILLiad, please see the Interlibrary Loan LibGuide.

Wind Sensor – Modbus
WSD‑1TM combines wind speed and direction sensors into a rugged package. Digital sensor data are delivered using the Modbus protocol, which allows for long cable runs to computers, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and some data loggers.
Accessories and Options
Product Details
Manuals & Software
WSD‑1TM is a high-quality, professional meteorological instrument designed for industrial, agricultural, small airport, and research applications. WSD‑1 is a low‑power, digital output anemometer with combined wind vane.
WSD‑1 is a standard component of Dyacon MS‑100 series weather stations.
As a native Modbus sensor, WSD‑1 is ideally suited for industrial applications and can be connected directly to PLCs, SCADA equipment, and DCS to directly add environmental data for other automation and logging applications.
Like all Dyacon equipment, WSD-1 is made in the USA.
Feature Summary
- Wind speed (3 s, 2 min avg, and 10 min avg)
- Wind direction (3 s, 2 min avg, and 10 min avg)
- Real-time gust detection
- Anodized aluminum
- Stainless steel bearings
- No-contact direction sensor
- No dead spots
- Modbus
- Low-power operation
- Durable construction
- Sun-fast color options for VARs
Key Features
WSD‑1TM is made in the USA from 6061 machined aluminum. The standard product is gold anodized. Anemometer cups are UV-stabilized polycarbonate.
Several sun-fast colors are available to value-added resellers, including colorless (clear), electroless black, blue, and red. All movement uses Dyacon ceramic hybrid bearings with synthetic lubricant for long-life operation. The fiberglass vane stem withstands harsh treatment. Vane and anemometer components are user-replaceable without disassembly.
The slim mechanical construction minimizes snow accumulation.
Wind Direction
The wind direction sensor utilizes a no-contact sensor for high reliability and high accuracy, and, unlike potentiometer sensors, it has NO dead spots.
The unique mounting tube can either be fitted over standard 3/4" conduit, such as that used for antenna towers, or used with standard 1" structural pipe fittings.
Wind Speed
The anemometer is a 3-cup mechanism that utilizes Dyacon ceramic hybrid bearings.
Data Connection
Power and data are supplied through a 4-wire connection. The WSD‑1 wind sensor uses a Modbus slave interface. Drawing
