Many industrial processes require custom water to water heat exchangers to perform a crucial role in the design, operation and maintenance of heating systems, air conditioning, humidification, water cooling and condensing plants, power generation, refrigeration, chemical processing, offshore oil rigging and industrial engineering systems.
They are also important for process cooling and waste heat recovery in pharmaceutical, food processing, water treatment, textile manufacturing, pulp and paper and steel manufacturing processes. In addition, water to water heat exchangers are especially useful in marine heating applications in which the two main uses include integrating the engine's fresh water cooling system with the hot water heating system and heating domestic water for uses in the galley and shower.
There are different types of heat exchangers that are chosen according to the intended application. However, the most common design for water to water heat exchangers is a shell and tube design. In a shell and tube design there are two separate tanks of water: one tank is reserved for hot water, one tank is for cold. The water from each tank is pumped into a dual chambered reservoir that holds a series of tubes.
The two chambers are separated by a thin layer of highly conductive metal, known as a tube wall, which acts as a conductor between the two fluids. The heated solution flowing on one side of the metal wall transfers its heat through the barrier to a cooler solution flowing on the other side. Thermal energy only flows from the hotter to the cooler in an attempt to reach equilibrium.
The surface area of the tube bundle affect speed and efficiency, and the tubes can be plain, finned or longitudinally finned, and tube diameter, thickness and length should also be taken into consideration. Water is continually pumped through the system to maintain a steady exchange of heat. Water to water heat exchanger manufacturers typically construct exchangers from corrosion-resistant conductive materials such as steel, titanium, copper, bronze, stainless steel, aluminum or cast iron.

Two specters have been looming over the Lightning since the season ended: its playoff embarrassment and the salary cap.
Everyone is still working to move on from the first-round sweep loss to the Blue Jackets, but putting Ryan Callahan on long-term injured reserve does alleviate some of the cap issues.
The Lightning announced Thursday that Callahan has been diagnosed with a degenerative back disease, has been advised to not play again and would be put on long-term injured reserve.
The move doesn't simply take Callahan's $5.8 million off the books. His cap hit remains. The long-term injured reserve designation gives the Lightning the ability to exceed the cap limit by up to $5.8 million.
Last season's cap was $79.5 million. The new cap, reported to be between $81 million and $82 million, likely will be announced next week.
"Using (long-term injured reserve) is not ideal," general manager Julien BriseBois said. "But it looks like that will be our best option for this year."
But getting to go over the salary cap fixes everything, right? Not so fast. It's a complicated issue.
A team's cap hit is calculated daily, and a team can save any available funds for later use. That's part of why the term "deadline cap space" gets thrown around as the trade deadline approaches. Teams can appear to go over the cap limit because a) they have to pay only the remaining portion of an acquired player's salary and b) they have saved money up to that point of the season.
But money from long-term injured reserve relief can't be saved. The money is there only to give a team relief if its average payroll begins to exceed the cap limit. It's essentially use it or lose it.
The Callahan move does mean the Lightning — with a cap hit as of Friday of $76.1 million, according to the salary website Cap Friendly — has money to work with right now. That's important for re-signing players (for example, Brayden Point, who can be a restricted free agent July 1) and bring in free agents.
Speaking of Point, BriseBois said he has been talking to Point's agent, Gerry Johannson (who also is Braydon Coburn's agent), and they planned to meet in Vancouver during draft activities this week. He said he was confident they would agree on a deal but he didn't have a time line in mind.
It's possible they are waiting for the 2019-20 cap figure to know better what the Lightning has to work with.

The Future of SCI Archiving
This morning, we had the pleasure of meeting with Heinz Gabathuler, the Archives Coordinator, to discuss the future of the archiving. With a large amount of space being taken up by paper documents at the SCI International Archives and with the increase in the number of documents and publications being created and published online, the switch to digital archiving seems to be a necessary step in ensuring the preservation of SCI history.
The Archives Coordinator, Heinz Gabathuler, at the International Archives, Switzerland. (2015)
Developing SCI's digital archiving practices is an exciting idea for us, but there are many questions and challenges that we will have to face on the way, such as the format of the digital objects, how to select from the large quantities of information and knowledge we produce via email and mailing lists and how to back up this content. For now, we have established a better understanding of what this may entail, how we can make the process easier and how the International Secretariat and the International Archives can support one another in this change.
We look forward to bringing you more updates about this and the steps ahead, especially as we get closer and closer to SCI's 100 year anniversary, in 2020.
If you have experience in digital archiving and preservation, why not share you ideas with us!

Here at Acorn Stairlifts, being the best stairlift provider across the globe is an important goal. All our San Jose stairlifts comply with the newest worldwide safety standard for stairlifts, due to the equipment being independently tested and certified.
Chose to install on of our stairlifts in San Jose into your property and you won't need to worry about any disruptive or messy structural work either. This is because of the equipment fitting to the stairs and not the wall — a choice of design which means that drilling into masonry or plaster can be avoided too. We've been presented with some highly-regarded honors due to our industry-leading innovations, such as the Arthritis Foundation's Ease-of-Use commendation.
If you want to know how an Acorn Stairlift can transform your life, don't take our word for it
— see what our customers have to say…
"Acorn had best presentation and best design idea for our curved staircase. 2 other companies we got bids were using unfamiliar subcontractors (not the mfg. of the stairlift). A local med. equipment co discouraged us from even thinking about it because "stairlifts" were unreliable and they had quick installing them. The primary reason we went with Acorn was dealing directly with the mfg. and Acorn employees no subcontractors. So far, the thing is working very well!"

Please insert your user ID and password then press "Resume Questionnaire".
Thank you for being involved and participating in ASPIRE: an assessment
tool looking at your organisation's operations and underlying values.
You may wish to read the ASPIRE
Overview for further background to ASPIRE and an overview of what
is being measured. Your views matter and will not be directly traceable
back to you. You will only be asked to give a general job title, rather
than your name. Along with the questionnaires from a wide spectrum of
other staff in your organisation, your answers will make up an assessment
report to help your organisation to develop further. It is important to
bear in mind that this is an organisational assessment not a personal
assessment of your views.
With honesty:
For the assessment to be most effective and helpful to the organisation,
we would encourage you to be as honest as possible. There is always a
temptation to answer the questions in a way that reflects the way you
want it to be or are working towards.
Asking yourself "does this really happen?" will help you evaluate
how far you have got in this on-going process.
With a spirit of understanding:
We have endeavoured to phrase questions in the light of the spectrum of
organisations and churches using ASPIRE. Care needs to be taken in understanding
the spirit of the question. We have
phrased most questions in a way that implies a formalised process or policy,
but this can apply equally to an informal approach in a smaller organisation.
For instance, when we talk of "policy",
larger organisations may have structured and detailed policies, whereas
a smaller church may just have an unwritten understanding, that has been
thought-through, discussed and agreed. Please
note also that references to prayer can include individual and/or collective
prayer that is either audible or silent.
In one go:
For the best results you should finish the questionnaires in one go. If
this is not possible, then you will need to make a note of your participant
ID (generated when you log-on) and contact your co-ordinator (so you can
go back again via the co-ordinator's access point).
Understanding leadership:
Questions about 'leaders' refer to those who provide overall
leadership of your organisation. (E.g. the senior leadership team.) However
you may need to clarify with your coordindator whether this includes your
trustees. It is also important that you understand you are all being asked
to assess how you feel about the collective leadership style rather than
just one individual.
When you complete the questionnaires, you will be asked to comment on
various aspects of your organisation or church and rate them in one of
the following categories. In order to bring about better consistency,
we have found it helpful to clarify these categories in the following
"Yes, a great deal" - this is true almost
all of the time
"No, or rarely" - this is hardly ever true
this question is not applicable to me or our
Answers 2 and 1 are responses
in between
"Yes, a great deal" and "No, or rarely".
We appreciate you taking the time to complete this assessment and help
your organisation continue to develop. If you have any further questions,
there are a number of links to definitions as you go through and you may
also want to refer to the Glossary.
Please also refer any specific questions you have back to your co-ordinator.
Thank you.

text: Modern Machine Shop: Aerospace MachiningAerospace machining is frequently characterized by the tight tolerances and hard-to-machine metals typical of aircraft engine components, as well as the complex contours typical of both turbine blade forms and the aerostructural components making up a plane's form. Because machined contours are so typical, five-axis machining is routine in this sector, include large-travel five-axis machine tools able to accommodate the largest aircraft structural components. Materials typical of aerospace machining include lightweight aluminum for structural members; hard and temperature-resistant metals including titanium and Inconel alloys for engine parts; and carbon-fiber composites that are both hard and lightweight for outer skins. Along with large five-axis machines, turn-mill machines and precision grinders are among the high-value machine tools routinely used in this sector.uuid:ca150e4f-4675-4c76-8cea-b8c508f77737;id=1621Copyright © Gardner Business Media, Inc. 20192019-12-15T11:48:36Zhttps://www.mmsonline.com/blog/post/tackling-the-aerospace-suppliers-dilemma-scalabilityTackling the Aerospace Supplier's Dilemma: ScalabilityAutomation and robotics can go a long way toward increasing capacity and growing a business dedicated to aerospace manufacturing.

In the United States, we consider personal privacy to be sacrosanct. It is part of what makes us "free." We don't like the idea of companies or agencies of any sort knowing too much about our personal lives. We expect that what happens not only in Vegas but practically anywhere will remain private. Alas, the privacy genie is out of the bottle, and I don't think it's ever going back in. Here are three sure signs that privacy is a thing of the past in the U.S.
#1 Facial recognition based on our photos
As reported in Network World, staff attorney Jennifer Lynch of the Electronic Frontier Foundation reports that many Americans now have their images logged in a facial recognition database, whether they know it or not. Federal and state agencies such as the FBI and Department of Motor Vehicles regularly collect and log facial images. Commercial companies as well – most notably Facebook – identify people based on photos. In testimony to the Senate Committee on the Judiciary Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology, and the Law, Lynch stated that at least 54% of the United States population already has a face print—and that number is growing. Facebook alone claims to have indexed 31 billion facial images to date.
What does that have to do with (the death of) privacy? Lynch suggests that law enforcement agencies can "track Americans" via strategically placed cameras and facial recognition software. It is technically possible today to capture images of people in public places – say at a political protest – and identity who the individuals are and who they are with. This kind of activity evokes thoughts of a controlling government that persecutes its citizens based on what it considers to be contrarian behavior and association with "the wrong people." I'm not saying our government is spying on us, but the FBI is implementing a nationwide face search and recognition system.
There are practical applications of such a system – stopping known or suspected terrorists from entering airports, for example – but one can also conceive of privacy violations of the average citizen who has done nothing wrong. All because your face has been tagged and identified.
#2 Cell phone records – calls, texts, locations
TechNewsWorld reports that U.S. law enforcement agencies are "feasting" on data from personal cell phones. A congressional inquiry shows that law enforcement agencies made 1.3 million requests to cell phone carriers in 2011, seeking information such as records of individuals' text messages, their locations, and lists of phone numbers they called when in the vicinity of a particular tower—whether the phones belonged to people under investigation or not. Law enforcement agencies are increasingly relying on this type of information in their investigations; requests to Verizon for personal information rose 15% from 2010 to 2011.
Attorney Mary Ann Wymore calls cell phones "a font of easily accessible information about someone," saying they are essentially tracking devices. Of course, we all knew that when we bought our phones. After all, the carriers have to know where we are in order to send calls and messages to our phones. What we perhaps didn't realize was how often public agencies request the information about us and our calling and texting habits and the locations we visit.
The troubling thing is that there is no comprehensive federal law that addresses questions of who or for what purpose cell phone records can be accessed. Valid reasons for this information to be accessed include crime investigations and state security, but we can't be sure that the reasons stop there. The fact is, we don't know who is looking at our cell phone usage records, or why, and how private we can expect this data to remain.
#3 Digital wallets and our spending habits
Data about our cell phones is one thing, but what about data stored on the phones? A University of California-Berkeley School of Law survey entitled Mobile Phones and Privacy reveals that Americans overwhelmingly consider data stored on their mobile phones to be considered private—at least as private as what they have on their home computers. But is this always the case? Depending on how you use your phone, the answer is no.
One growing use of smart phones is as a digital wallet for mobile payments. That is, through the use of a secure payment application, you can use your phone in place of a debit or credit card when paying for goods or services. Google Wallet is perhaps the best known mobile wallet today, and it is just one of many types of mobile payment applications coming to market. While mobile wallets can be very convenient, they potentially can have their privacy drawbacks.
In a follow-on report entitled Mobile Payments: Consumer Benefits & New Privacy Concerns, the UC-Berkeley researchers say that mobile payments shift the privacy landscape. The report states that it's possible for merchants to collect personally identifiable contact information from consumers. By transferring this information to payment networks, all of the service providers in the payments ecosystem – merchants, payment networks, and the banks involved in the transactions – could develop much more comprehensive and detailed dossiers about consumer purchase behavior than they typically have today. The capabilities of new payment systems will, for example, make it easier for merchants to build customer databases without resorting to loyalty cards.
That doesn't sound so bad, does it? Well, take a gander at what the Berkeley report points out is the Google Checkout privacy policy (which is the same as the Google Wallet policy):
Transaction information - When you use the Processing Service to conduct a transaction, we collect information about each transaction, including the transaction amount, a description provided by the seller of the goods or services being purchased, the names of the seller and buyer and the type of payment used. We may also collect transaction data from your use of the Mobile Wallet. For example, if you use the Mobile Wallet Application to make a purchase at a merchant or download a merchant coupon, we may obtain information regarding that transaction from the Mobile Wallet Application, from the merchant and/or a partner, as applicable. The information may include the date and time of the purchase, the store location, the amount of the purchase, and the offer associated with the transaction.
OK, now it's getting creepy. Google wants to know about everything you buy, who you buy it from, when you buy it, and so on. One can only imagine what Google would do with all this information that most people would consider private. However, by choosing to use Google Wallet, you also agree to these data collection terms. This just goes to show that, when you decide on a mobile wallet application, you need to read and fully understand the privacy implications of the user agreement.
When it comes to our digital lives, we should have few expectations in the way of privacy. It will take years for federal privacy laws to catch up to today's state of the art, and by then it may be too late. R.I.P. Privacy.

Item Number: #505
Height: 5"
Production Dates: 1924-1982
The Fostoria Nappy and Cover was a very popular piece in the American line. So popular, in fact, that it has a Look-Alike cousin in the American Whitehall pattern. Many times people confuse the two, and it is not uncommon to see the American Whitehall piece being sold as genuine Fostoria American. The American Whitehall piece is called a "Candy Box/Cover".
The Nappy Cover (or Lid) is approximately 3" high and has an inside retainer ring of clear glass. Interestingly enough, the Nappy Cover is very similar (if not exact) to the Cover of the Comport piece. This is good to know, especially if one piece is damaged and you need to interchange the two pieces. That being said, the different Covers don't always fit on the bottom pieces. My personal Cover for the Comport does not fit the bottom of my Nappy. While similar in size and dimension, the weight of the piece is different and does not make a good fit. In fact, if I forced the situation, damage would occur. Therefore, be aware – while the Nappy Cover and the Comport Cover look very similar, it is quite possible you won't get a good fit when you try to interchange the different pieces. My best advise is to take the bottoms with you when searching for a replacement top.
The Nappy and Cover is approximately 5″ in height. It is a nicely weighted item, and sits securely on the table. While Fostoria Glass officially called this piece a "Nappy", it is also referred to as a Candy Dish by many. The Nappy and Cover was produced for many years and is still fairly easy to find in the aftermarket. If you find a similar dish in color – not clear crystal – then it is probably the American Whitehall version. The Look-Alike piece was manufactured in a variety of colors – such as Blue, Ruby, Green, Blue Carnival – and even clear crystal.

Bravo Pawn Systems
Pawnbroker point of sale (POS) solution4.7/5 (39 avaliações)
Bravo is the BEST pawn software I have ever used. Tried several others and nothing compares. Lots of features. Does just about everything you need.
Bravo was the best change I made for my pawn shop. People make payments on loans and layaways with Mobile Pawn even when we are closed. The integration with eBay, Buya.com, my own company website is really great. Listing on Gunbroker, Craigslist, Amazon, and more is so easy. I know the Bravo team constantly works on improving and making Bravo even better with new and improved features. Can't say enough about this program and the people behind it.
Bravo has to be the best pawn shop software ever developed. It does everything a pawn broker needs in the business and Bravo is constantly upgrading and making the software better and more user friendly. I was sceptical when I first got Bravo because I did not believe it could do everything they said it could do but now after several years of using Bravo, I can not imagine using any other software. I have used several of the other programs and always seems to have problems of some sort. With Bravo I may have an issue once or twice every six months and the Bravo techs get me going in a matter of minutes. Usually it is a driver issue with my computer. The Bravo techs are the best. They treat you like family. They really care about getting you up and running as fast as they can with minimal down time. And reliability, I have only had one time when Bravo was down for about an hour in 3 years and I believe that was due to severe weather where they are located, understandable. Bravo is so easy for new employees to learn. You just type in a make and model and 99% of the time it comes up in Bravo and you just have to put in a short description and check some pull down boxes and it figures the price for you. You can adjust the price if needed. Also on the same page you have statistics like average loan amount, average buy amount, default ratio, and a few others, very good to have when pricing items your are taking in. I also love the Customer Loyalty Reports. This tells you a lot about your customer. Stuff like Total # Redeems, Total # Forfeitures, Lifetime Contribution, and so much more. It is really great. Bravo is also the best for listing items on eBay seamlessly. Quick and easy. You can list on Gunbroker, Craigslist, and Amazon, just takes a little more effort but it is still so easy. Bravo can set you up with your own company branded website for your products. I have this and it is the best thing ever. My local customers get to see what I have put out for sale lately or I can ship to anyone in the country. This is another thing great about Bravo, when you post something to the internet you can post to Bravo's website- Buya.com, Your Company Branded website, and eBay all at one time and when you sell your item on any of these sites, Bravo will automatically take of the other sites. This saves an extremely lot of time. I use to have to list individual items on eBay, then on my website and when it sold sometimes we would forget to take off one of the sites and it would sell again and this would cause a negative feedback from the customer. This is the quickest and easiest program I have ever used. I have just recently signed up for Bravo's Mobile Pawn Advantage and this takes the game up to a whole new level. Mobile Pawn is an APP on your smart phone that lets customers Pay on their pawn or layaway. Mobile Pawn also sends a notification or text to the customer to remind them a payment is coming due soon. Again, I was worried about the cost over the revenue and now we have had Mobile Pawn for about 3 months and we get between 3-10 payments a day. We come in to work in the morning, log in to Bravo and the printer just starts printing receipts. Sometimes a receipt will print during the day and it will be a payment being made on Mobile Pawn. Payment are being made on layaways and pawn extensions. And since we have our company branded website the customer can shop just our store on the Mobile Pawn APP right on their phone. And this is so exciting, last week I had my first FAST CASH transaction on the Mobile Pawn App. A customer took a picture of an air compressor and put a few details and how much he wanted and we ended up buying it. We have had about 4 or 5 Fast Cash transactions and it is so awesome. With Bravo you can run ANY type report you need. Bravo keeps a digital FFL log book and a copy is stored on your hard drive. Keeping track of the cash in your tills and safe is so easy. I would need a whole lot of space to talk about every thing Bravo does for me and my company but the bottom line is this is, by far, the best program on the market. I am on first name basis with a lot of Bravo's staff and they are such wonderful people. I feel they really want you as a business owner to succeed. They are great. We are just a small pawn shop in Callahan, FL called First Coast Pawn & More, Inc. You can find us on Buya.com, www.firstcoastpawn.net, www.firstcoastpawn.com, eBay, Google, and also Facebook. Forgot to mention how easy it is to post to Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter straight from your merchandise webpage. And there is so much more this software can do for you because I know I am forgetting something. If you are reading this and you own or run a pawn shop, you owe it to yourself to take a look at Bravo's software. It is the best. You can call me anytime with any questions, my name is Kimbal Hutchinson and I own First Coast Pawn & More, Inc. 904-879-3556. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my review.
Since we, as the pawnbroker, some times have to enter new data, sometimes it gets entered wrong or labeled wrong but the Bravo techs will fix extremely fast. There are some other issues that we as the pawnbroker may want to implament in Bravo and the Bravo techs are working hard to make these changes for us. I know I made several suggestions and the Bravo techs made it happen. They are great.
Compupawn to Bravo switch
Every single ticket we have sent to Bravo support has been answered and explained. Even some that were changes in the software were addressed and it is very cool to get an email the next month showing exactly what was changed and fixed in the new FREE UPGRADE from bravo.
All of the employees at all of our locations picked up on Bravo with in a few days. You can really tell this software was written for a PAWNBROKER, by a PAWNBROKER. The entire Team at Bravo, from the top to bottom, has been awesome to work with and made sure we were happy and working efficiently on all workstations at all stores. To be able to click on Company Performance and see all the stores numbers on 1 dashboard is awesome. No more running 5 reports. Just 1 click. Our swinging door profit margin has increased because I really see employees looking at the estimator and making educated decisions on purchases and loans. All of our employees can write loans twice as fast now because of the estimator. We are opening another location soon and excited to use Bravo. We are going to text every customer in our database to let them know about the Grand opening sale. We did a mass text to all of our customers last Christmas and it turned out to be one of our busiest Saturdays ever in 25+ years.
As with any CHANGE, it is not all easy, it took a few weeks to learn all of the reports and the differences that we were used to, but we have now been on bravo after making the switch for 6 months and opened a new store from the start on Bravo @ Day 1, looking back we are glad we switched all of the stores and would do it again, hands down. The first few weeks, it was taking the employees twice as long to write a loan because we were still learning the software, NOW, we are all writing better loans and purchases, thanks to the estimator, and doing it twice as fast as we did with our other software.
The best I have used in 26 years, though a bit difficult to learn in the beginning. Highly recommend
The best feature is the ad/hoc reporting. You create whatever you want. Next is the ability to do multiple transactions for a customer from the same window, with a very quick and easy reloan procedure. If an item is repawned by a spouse, the item can be brought up on the transaction window and change the customer then you are done. Transaction and inventory history reports are excellent and the mobile ap is very useful. Customer support is top of the line. The unfinished jobs buttons on the dashboard have made us far more efficient at keeping current. This is really great with police reporting and pricing items to be forfeited. The store and employee performance tabs are great. The estimator is very helpful when learned to use properly. I like knowing backup is automatically done and offsight. The customer suggestion area makes improvements to the program happen regularly and efficiently. A lot of great ideas come from all users being able to expose their ideas and needs then have others vote on and expound on the idea.
At first, getting used to navigating and using the program. However, with patience, practice and seeking to understand the procedures, that is overcome in time and the benefits are well worth the effort. Entering new items for pawn sometimes takes longer, but the estimator makes it quicker with common items. Also, reloan of previously pawned items or items the customer purchased if entered under their name is very easy and fast. Even if an item was not purchased under their name, a quick ad/hoc search will allow for doing a quick and easy repawn. Perhaps the biggest con for me right now is the layaway feature. It is usable but still needs some work. My experience with support leads me to believe this issue will be corrected in the near future.
Best software on the market!!
Overall experience has been awesome from day one. Switching to bravo has paid for its self many times over.
My favorite feature is the Jewelry Master. It makes pawning and pricing jewelry easy and consistent. Just enter the necessary information and bravo comes up with the price. Bravo makes eCommerce a breeze, with the integration with eBay and our branded website. Bravo is simple to use, and has so many features I can't name them all. They are constantly added new features and make bravo better every month. Having two location, We love the cloud base software so both stores are linked together. We share a customer base between both stores, so if a customer is added its available company wide with all their data and prior transactions. I also have bravo installed on my Microsoft Surface, so I can access both stores and pull reports from anywhere just like I was sitting in the store. Ad-hoc reporting is a game changer. Build any report you can think of and data is populated in a workable format. Customer support is AWESOME and has never let me down.
I can't really come up with any. Certainly I would like to have some features tailored more to how I want them.
Great Software
We feel like we have a clear handle on how our crew is performing both individually and as a team in comparison to our previous software.
We love that it is intuitive and easy for almost anyone to learn.
We love that the customer service is quick and follows up after there has been a lull in the process.
We love that the reports look clean and are easy to read.
When reading the reports, you sometimes can't figure out if where the numbers have come from.
When you use the scrap refining process, the figure counts in the daily sales when it should be entirely separate.
When you use the scrap refining process, there is no option for ACH which is odd since that is how most refiners pay out.
When you use the Employee Performance Button on the home screen, it is only accessible to the Employee who is logged in; as an owner, these are all numbers and facts I should easily have access to on a daily basis for each of my crew.
Sometimes figuring out certain information is difficult: the history of a gift card, on the Inventory Management Screen you can not tell which employee last touched a piece of inventory without clicking on the Item History Button (which means additional work), the number of transactions of each employee completes is missing from the Employee Performance Report . . .
Most versatile I have used.
Inventory control has become better and time spent searching for items has been greatly decreased because of the ad/hoc search flexibility. E-commerce use has been increased with added income from increased exposure. Repeat customer transaction speed has been greatly increased.
This software has great flexibility because it is so comprehensive in what is offered. The ad/hoc search feature offers almost any arrangement and grouping you will need with the user setting the parameters (no asking programmers for a special report design). Multiple transactions for a single customer can be done all at the same time without exiting and restarting after each transaction. The estimator provides great help in evaluating the loan value of an item. I have found it especially helpful with jewelry. Customer service response time and help in solving problems has been the best I have experienced over the 2 previous software programs used.
Because of its comprehensive nature, it takes more time than other programs to learn and become comfortable with using. The transition is a little more difficult, however, once becoming comfortable with the program I think it is well worth the effort and time. The time involved with entering an item for the first time is a little more cumbersome than other programs, however, when the item is repawned the process is much faster and easier than other programs I have used, so this balances itself over time.
The Perfect Software for a Pawnshop in the Age of the Internet
If you want your pawn shop to adapt with the modern world Bravo is the only option. No other software on the market will so effortlessly update in real-time your inventory online, and list instantly on ebay like Bravo does. It's a great company that listens to the pawnbrokers using the software and makes changes several times a year via software updates. Definitely consider Bravo when shopping around pawn software.
Bravo streamlines so much. We looked at every major player in Pawn Software, and it was a no brainer to go with Bravo. We are able to keep our entire inventory online, and it updates in real-time. A few clicks and I can list hundreds of items on ebay within minutes. Customer Profiles help us vet customers and maximize loans and cross-reference their history at other locations. Our customers now receive a text message 5 days before the due date, and can renew loans via the mobile app. This software really does streamline most of which use to be very timely and not cost-effective. It's constantly evolving and listening to customer suggestions to improve the software.
The financial cost is higher than others, but you really do get so much more for the money. I wish they had more expanded reports that were easier to run for targeting specific categories.
They exceed my expectations everyday!
Just what I titled this, Bravo Pawn Systems exceeds my expectations on a daily basis. Thank you.
Their customer support is awesome and never lets me down. The features that Bravo offers continuously amaze me. The ability for Bravo to give us suggestions on loans or buys is invaluable. This includes viewing what an item has sold for at other stores works for me...
There is a learning curve to the basic operation of this software as some things are not intuitive. The pros out weight this curve as the customer service will blow you away.
Software that actually builds and promotes your store!
Love this software and what Bravo, the Company, does for our industry.
Ease of use and training for new pawnbrokers. We can set our own parameters for buying and loaning and that gives us our most profit. The customer service is awesome.
Being on the cloud is good and bad. If internet goes out we are stuck. But this is out of their control. We have only been down once with Bravo and that was years ago. They were upgrading the system and now runs awesome. We have been up 100% of the time for 2018 and 2019.
You Don't Know What You're Missing
If it was possible, we might date Bravo. It has proven super dependable and very helpful. :)
As new technology and business needs emerge, the software framework is ready to respond with system wide, and specific, solutions. An added feature is that we get to spend more time connecting with customers and less time on their paperwork,
With any new implementation, established business work flow will change, and an operation will be well served with a deep time dive into training, support, and community information.
Seemless integration and countless ways to monitor how your business is performing
We've been in business since 1927 as Wood's Loan Office in Atlantic City. It's just over the past couple years with using Bravo that we've had the experience of being able to really monitor what goes on with our store.
It seems like there is no limit to the reports you can generate to gauge any question you might have about your business. The more details you supply, the more thorough reports you get.
Everything comes at a cost so I understand I shouldn't expect everything for free but I would like to be able to login when I'm at my home computer or phone with something on my mind without needing an additional license. Again, I understand why that's not feasible :)
It's the BRAVOLUTION, you can't teach stupid
Ease of use and simplicity between multiple stores. Live chat and phone support is lightning fast and at all hours pretty much. We are open from 10-7pm on the east coast 7 days a week. Never an issue to have something solved in store with a customer within minutes. The solution center works wonders for quick and easy step by step procedures.
Buying procedures are a little slower than competitors, as you do have to input data as if you were going to use their buya software. But on the inventory side, it is a lot easier to look through and find items with ease, compared to competitors.
Best customer support.
Been a Bravo user since 2014. If any pawnbroker would like a verbal referral feel free to call.
Out of all the pawn software we've used this company has the best customer service. Never had a question or issue go unanswered. Bravo is relatively easy to navigate and has all the needed features. eBay addon has been very useful for our shop.
Only con to note, it's web based software, so at times it can run slow. Hopefully someday they'll make it a hybrid system.
Game Changer
We were first with custom pawn software locally in 1990, making us the leading edge of tech at the time. Rode it perhaps a bit too long but when BRAVO came along it was clear they would put us right back at the leading edge. They have.
Love the integrated web presence through BUYA and local branded website. Text messaging. MobilePawn App.
Too many clicks. Stock photos limited to one or two max. Need more sub-categories within each category including a miscellaneous for each one..
Bravo Pawn Systems
I like that Bravo has the ability to produce virtually any report i need. I also like that issues that are addressed in the forums are usually fixed through the frequent updates to the Bravo system.
I like the Bravo pawn system. It has lots of features that are very beneficial. The customer service staff is always helpful and nice. They have readily answered any questions we have had.
The issues that I did not like have already been resolved with updates.
Bravo has customer support that is unrivaled by any other product, and continues to deliver!
User-Friendliness, training webinars, expeditious technical support are a few of the many reasons why we sided with Bravo. It's by far the best quality, and most cost effective product on the market.
Hard to find many flaws with Bravo, if I had to choose one I would say the e-commerce pricing structure. I wish it was a bit more cost effective, my only hesitation with enabling the e-commerce feature/integration.
The best software out there
I have found overall that BRAVO is a great company to do business with!
The system is easy to use and if you ever get stuck make a call and they answer your questions that day! I have never had an issue they could not walk me through with in a few minutes! Love BRAVO
Dealing with the scrap gold and silver seems to be a small issue - but I am sure I just need to make a call - when I have a chance ;)
Active Bravo User
Thank you Bravo team!
Everything you need in a Pawn Shop POS. Inventory has become a lot easier and their support team is exceptional. Highly recommend!
Needs MLA compliance form for Mobile App renewals. Easy fix perhaps: 1) ask the renewal customer if they are active duty or dependents of... 2) if yes, block renewal and send MLA covered borrower in-store.
With so much ecommerce that we do, Bravo is the #1 choice hands down.
The options that it gives to help us do our job better, and more efficiently. The eCommerce feature where we can simply copy and paste an items description online in minutes.
Some of the suggestions take awhile, and we are given resolutions to an issue that isn't 100% helpful or resolved. It seems like every new feature is a way to nickle and dime us.
Best user friendly pawn platform out there!
I've been in the pawn industry for a while now. So long that when I first started I was doing pawns/buys on paper. I've used multiple other programs and Bravo is buy far the most user friendly out there. The ease of use, along with the customer service is phenomenal.
Overall I do not have a single complaint that has not been handled.
Excellent Pawn Software
I especially enjoy the fact that we can easily look up customers from each of our stores regardless of location. Being able to transfer inventory from one store to another is an extremely time saving feature!
I would prefer that there be a power user price discount for multiple store usage.
Simply superior
My experience with bravo has been beyond satisfactory. It's a very comfortable software, almost feels like a social media platform as opposed to a POS. Keeps employees focused with its intuitive task managment system.
User friendly, cutting edge, quick support, continuously innovating
Pricey (but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for)
Bravo Pawn Systems- Great Software, Excellent Technical Service
Straight forward interface. I have found that most things I needed, but hadn't been trained on, I was able to figure out on my own.
I was originally a compupawn customer. They were acquired by Bravo, which at the time did not make me happy. Like most people, I am resistant to change. I had been using compupawn for the better part of 6 years. Being forced to change products was my only real problem, but it all worked out in the end.
Bravo is easy to use and navigating the system becomes almost second nature.
The customer service of Bravo and there knowledge of the system is top notch and they are always will to tell you or show you how to do something with in Bravo.
I would like more customer answers or reviews when leaving a comment on the solution center help desk.

Just finished KKOW,which is a much praised work, it was pretty good and really funny but it's sad how the relationship between Mitsuhashi and Riko never saw real progress. I mean, I know it's a gag manga but it had plenty of serious arcs so I didn't see why literally nothing happened between them in 366 chapters.
In the end it's pretty much consolidated that they're together so yeah that's a valid complaint that we would all have wanted more but it could've been worst, I mean, the manga didn't try to play it out like they were nothing in the end.
Oh, was that supposed to be Riko on that page? I was surprised that Mitsuhashi and Itou just randomly left to go to Hokkaido in the ending that I completely forgot about it.
I guess that's a better ending than just leaving it completely ambiguous, which I had thought was the case.
Can we turn this into the general delinquent manga thread? Because we should.

Introverts in the church
Posted by
At first, I thought that this was just my own quirkiness. After spending some time reading on personality types, I found that I was perfectly normal (well, that's debatable) or at least that I have lots of company. In an extroverted world and church and married to an extroverted spouse, there are simply personality differences that are like being left-handed in a right-handed world; not wrong, just different. The challenge becomes learning how to manage myself in the light of how God made me and in view of the calling God has given me.
That is where Adam McHugh's book, Introverts in the Church: Finding our Place in an Extroverted Culture, is quite helpful. In brief compass, McHugh surveys a great deal of the literature on introversion and helpful summaries a great deal about introverted personality types and how they engage in an extroverted culture. As I read this book, I kept telling my wife, "Wow, you should read this--you'd finally understand me!" It was a helpful, fast-paced, narrative of the characteristics of introversion.
McHugh also helpful distinguishes introversion (a personalty type) from shyness or social anxiety. Introverts tend to go through a cycle of engagement and retreat; we move toward people in relationship, but then back away to recharge in order to reengage again. Social anxiety or shyness retreats out of fear and intimidation and moves toward becoming a "loner" in which he or she refuses to engage the other. While introverts have the temptation of becoming loners, they must force themselves to "stretch" out toward others--God made us to be in relationship and so we must engage others even when we would prefer not to do so.
Also worthwhile were McHugh's two chapters on leading as an introvert. Most important was the notion of self-care, which is important for all of us but especially for introverts. He notes the tendency of introverts to develop "compassion fatigue" and the need of self-care to work through those times of emotional drainage. In order to accomplish such self-care, careful planning is needed. At one stage of my ministry, I scheduled monthly day-long retreats where I left the office and went to a location where my phone was off, where I could take a nap if I wanted, and where I could read or write.
There was part of me that wondered how extroverts would read a book like this. I especially thought this as I read the last two chapters on introverted evangelism and introverts in the church (which especially dealt with worship). Would such extroverted people read this and say, "Stop whining and get to work"? After 200 pages or so on all of this, would extroverts think it all a bit much, wondering why they have to accommodate the inward ones in their midst?
Maybe so. But for those of us who have struggled with making sense of our inwardness in a world that prizes extroverted, charismatic leaders and workers, I'm grateful for a brief, fast-paced book like the one McHugh has written to reassure myself and others that I'm fearfully and wonderfully made by the Lord for service in his Kingdom.

Three-month-old Fawns Soon To Lose Spots
By the end of August, White-tailed Deer fawns are about three months old. Their mother weans them between two and four months of age and during this time they molt, losing their white spots. A new gray-brown winter coat replaces the coat they were born with.

Spots look so cute…I know, it's for camouflage. On top of it's head, near left ear, looks like an injury.

Back at Alice… Reasonable assumption, possibly a skirmish wound from playing around. I was thinking a young males buttons for future antlers, but they would typically be located a tad further back next to the base of the ear.
Speaking of ears, in typical fashion, the youngster has it's left ear pointed up-hill, for defensive purposes & it's other ear pointed at the photographer!

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- A perfect storm made up of bad economic data, a sell-off in Shanghai and hearings on curbing speculation in energy trading sent most commodities sharply lower and also pressured stocks on Wall Street Wednesday.
The Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index CRB, +0.65%, a benchmark that gauges the prices of major commodities, fell 2.7% to 243.55 points.
Overnight, stocks in Shanghai tumbled 5% on some disappointing Chinese corporate profits and fears of possible central-bank moves to tighten lending. See full story.
'Traders are starting to realize that there's going to be a new cop in town.'
"The big sell-off there put us in a bearish mood," said Phil Flynn, senior energy-market analyst at Alaron Trading. "We've been living on China time in the oil market and were still celebrating their economic rebound."
On Monday, Merrill Lynch hiked its forecast for the world's third-largest economy, and now expects to grow 8.7% this year from 8% previously. See full story.
But depressing views for oil demand this year, BP PLC BP, -1.11% on Tuesday said there's little evidence of any growth in energy demand. Adding to the pressure Wednesday, the Energy Department reported another big gain in petroleum inventories. What's more, the government also reported that U.S.-made durable goods fell 2.5% in July, much more than expected.
On Wednesday, September oil futures tumbled nearly 6% to $63.35 a barrel in electronic trading on Globex, while August natural-gas futures fell 4.5% to $3.38 per million British thermal units. See Futures Movers.
Among metals, silver futures fell 3.5% and gold futures dropped 1.3%. See Metal Stocks.
The sell-off also took place as the Commodity Futures Trading Commission held the second of three hearings to examine whether speculation has unduly influenced the energy markets. Wednesday's hearings featured giant brokerage Goldman Sachs Group GS, +0.56%, which presented its case against regulating energy pits. See full story.
Some traders, such Flynn at Alaron, believed the sell-off to be purely coincidental with the hearings. But for others, the perspective of new regulations in commodities has spooked the market.
"Traders are starting to realize that there's going to be a new cop in town," said Fadel Gheit, energy analyst at Oppenheimer & Co.
"Anybody that knows anything about the business knows that these markets are manipulated by traders," he added. "There has to be an honest cop in there. I think there's some correction in the cards, and commodities prices will have to come down."

12 June 2012
Following slow economic growth in Asia Pacific in 4Q 2011, the region saw improvement in 1Q 2012 in response to the signs of economic improvement in the US and efforts by the European Central Bank to resolve the sovereign debt crisis. According to Colliers International Asia Pacific Industrial Market Overview, while a majority of the 13 Asia Pacific cities surveyed enjoyed appreciation in industrial land, capital and rental values over the six-month period between October 2011 and March 2012, most reported either stable or a slower growth rate.
On the front of single-user industrial land values, 44 out of 55 submarkets surveyed saw growth or held steady, while the remaining 11 submarkets registered declines during the six months ended in March 2012. "Land values in Karawang and Bekasi areas in Indonesia, rising 38.6% and 24.9% respectively, represented the outstanding growth of industrial land values in Asia Pacific, thanks to sustained economic growth and low labour costs in Indonesia that continued to appeal to manufacturers," said Simon Lo, Executive Director of Research & Advisory, Asia.
Similarly, majority of the submarkets surveyed (52 out of 58) saw steady or increase in industrial property capital values over the six months ended in March 2012. Shanghai saw exceptional increase in capital values, rising 12% during the period between October 2011 and March 2012, compared to merely 1.4% in the preceding six months. The robust growth was attributed to the lowering of the reserve requirement ratio for banks that stimulated the acquisition of ready-built industrial facilities.
Single-user industrial rents fell in 8 submarkets out of the 53 submarkets surveyed between 4Q 2011 and 1Q 2012, which was more than just one out of 54 submarkets surveyed seeing rental fall in the preceding six months. This was mainly due to weaker rents in New Zealand, where Auckland saw a slowdown in industrial leasing activity and net rents in Wellington region fell for the first time since March 2010.
Relatively, rents of high-specification multi-user industrial facilities were more resilient. Out of the 17 submarkets surveyed, only one of them – Yokohama recorded rental fall due to weak leasing demand while the remaining submarkets reported either stable or rise in rents during the period from October 2011 to March 2012.
"Looking forward, majority of the submarkets surveyed are expected to experience stability or growth in industrial values and rents over the next twelve months, due to healthy demand and reduced vacancy," commented Lo. "However, Singapore, Hong Kong and Taipei are anticipated to be the exceptions and will see declines as downside risks in the external environment are likely to affect demand in these submarkets."
In New Zealand, Wellington is projected to see stable land values, albeit with falling capital value and net rents in the next twelve months because earthquake issues surrounding the property market are expected to remain a dampening factor in the industrial market.

Marriage and Motherhood in Ancient Egypt
We may all know about Nefertiti, but what was life like for the less-famous women of ancient Egypt? Joyce Tyldesley describes the restraints and freedoms operating on daughters of Isis.
Found your household and love your wife at home as is fitting. Fill her stomach with food and provide clothes for her back ... Make her heart glad, as long as you live. (Old Kingdom wisdom text)
Those of a cynical disposition may take the view that marriage is merely a contract intended to create an efficient working unit, strengthen alliances and legitimise children. For women in particular the wedding ceremony may also mark the transition from child to adult and the start of a new role in society. All these generalisations are true of marriage in ancient Egypt, where the formation of a tight-knit family unit provided much-welcomed protection against the harsh outside world. And yet the Egyptians, through their paintings, their statutes and their lyric love songs, have passed on to us their satisfied contentment with the romance of marriage. To marry and beget children may have been the duty of every right-thinking Egyptian, but it was a duty which was very much welcomed: the Egyptians were a very uxorious race.

O'FALLON, Ill. - The St. Clair County State's Attorney's Office charged an O'Fallon man Wednesday for the murder of his wife.
Andrew McKissick is accused of killing his wife, Sherry Billups, and torching her car on Monday, April 22, less than a mile from their home.
McKissick was arrested late Monday evening in Memphis, Tennessee. He was charged with first-degree murder, aggravated arson, and aggravated battery.
The murder took place just before 7:25 a.m. Monday at the intersection of Obernuefemann Road and West Madison, near the O'Fallon Family Sports Park.
First responders were called to a vehicle fire and found bystanders attempting to save a woman who was on fire. Billups was pronounced dead at the scene.
Billups' family said she worked for the US Postal Service and that she and McKissick had only been married a few months.
The Billups family released the following statement Wednesday afternoon once the charges were filed and made public:
"Sherry Billups family is grateful for the outpouring of support shown by the community.
"Their family has been through a tremendous amount in the last few days. Sherry Matthews, Ms. Billups' mother, would ask that people respect the family's privacy during this trying time in their lives.
"Ms. Matthews wants everyone to know that Sherry was a loving mother to her children: Jaleel and Jaylyn, was a wonderful daughter, and was loved by all her family and close friends. She wants people to remember her as the beautiful person she was, and not how she was taken away from them by Andrew McKissick.
"Ms. Matthews wished to express her gratitude to all the law enforcement officers who worked tirelessly investigating this case and were able to quickly arrest and charge the killer of her daughter.
"An account has been set up to take care of Sherry's children. If you would like to help, contact your local Regions Bank."

Ghostwriting pays pretty well, and if you're talented at researching and creating great content within a certain subject domain, you can quickly build a roster of high-paying clientele with this business idea. Ghostwriters like Jeff Haden have created very lucrative careers for themselves by writing for business executives and CEO's—and Jeff also started his ghostwriting career as a side business idea outside of his full-time job as a factory manager. Listen to his interview with me on The Side Hustle Project (podcast) right here.
You would think that in this day and age of electronic communication that messengers were something of the past—but no messenger services are still vibrant. In larger cities bicycle courier services are popular and in smaller cities local messenger services rely exclusively on cars.
Tree services charge a lot of money for their services and one reason is that this can be dangerous work. A tenant of mine was injured working for his own tree service. So, think safety first. Don't take on a job that is over your head–or don't be afraid to ask someone more experienced to help when you need it. You can also rent lift trucks and other specialized equipment when you need it.
Knowing how powerful the reach of the Internet is for research, companies are very willing to outsource their research efforts to independent Internet researchers. Of course, the more specialized and experienced you are the more ability you will have to both land jobs and to charge premium pricing.

Expenses. These are the costs for operations that occur during the start-up phase. They include tax-deductible costs such as travel, payroll, rent, office supplies, marketing materials, etc. They also include initial organizational costs like legal fees and state incorporation fees. Many (but not all) of these costs are tax deductible, up to $5,000 in the first year of doing business. You can deduct the remaining costs in equal instalments over a period of 180 months (starting with the month in which your business opens).
Resources I recommend for learning more about this industry include 21 Days to a VA Biz and The Bootstrap VA.

For more in-depth training, you can enroll in the 30 Days or Less to Virtual Assistant Success eCourse. It will teach you exactly how to start your own VA business, what you need, what to charge, and also where to find clients.
Know your target market. We already discussed this briefly in Step 1, but it's worth drilling in. If you don't know who you're selling to — specifically — there's no way you'll be able to market to them successfully.

The benefits of practicing open innovation are many and have been written about at length. Over the years, I've sung its praises. Of course, many industries have been putting the principles of open innovation into practice for a long time, like the toy industry. That's where the concept of licensing as a business model — which is predicated on open innovation — first sparked my interest.
Whether a small town is in North Dakota, Upstate New York, or South Florida, one thing is for sure: people prefer shiny modes of transportation to muddy, rusty wrecks. It's just how human nature works. You pay your car payment every month, so your vehicle might as well shine! If there isn't a car wash in your town already or at least one in the next town over, opening a cash wash might be your perfect small town business opportunity. One thing to think about before getting started: location, location, location. Nail this stage of the planning and you'll make the rest of your ride significantly easier.
As you may know the big job sites are not specialized in work at home jobs. The at home jobs listed there are usually mixed in with regular jobs and the thousands of home based business opportunities which tend to require a fee.
CashCrate is an online platform where you can start earning money by completing offers, taking surveys, watching videos, and shopping online using their site. I've played around on the site a little bit, and you'll want to make sure that you read all of the fine print on each and every offer. Many offers require an email address, which means you'll receive offers from them and other marketers. Tasks pay out anywhere from a few cents to $30.00 or more, and you'll receive $1 for signing up for an account. Payments are made via check or PayPal.
The IRS treats all multi-member LLCs as partnerships, unless they choose to be taxed as a C-Corp or S-Corp. Therefore, most multi-member LLCs are required to report their income to the IRS using a Form 1065 Partnership Return.
What could be easier? You sit in the chair and watch the dog chase its tail! OK so there's a little more work to it than that, but still this is not the toughest job in the world–especially if you like animals! I am surprised to hear how much money people will pay for pet sitters if they believe their pets are being really well cared for.
This is one of those businesses that not everyone wants to do, so the profits tend to be above average. Furthermore, you don't have to collect just by telephone. You can send emails, mail letters and more. Make sure you know all the legal restrictions before you start!
Sole Proprietorship: The least formal structure of all — if you're doing business on your own, you're automatically seen as a sole proprietorship. There's no need to file anything with the state, except perhaps a DBA (if you want to operate under a name aside from your own legal name). The main problem with this structure is that there's nothing shielding you from business liability.
Check into legal barriers for your business. Some areas have certain rules and regulations for home based businesses, and you need to check into those at your town's city hall before investing much time or money in your business. Some areas just make home based business owners carry a business license and nothing else. Not knowing about these regulations can be devastating to your business.[3]
Even in the Internet age, there is something about physically going to a weight loss center that helps bring commitment and seriousness to the weight loss process. The business models vary from a mixture of fees to just making money from selling prepackaged food. You want to make sure your customers not just lose some weight but also feel great about themselves, because then they will also feel great about you and your business, and become raving fans.
It's hard especially for really small companies to hire someone dependable and that they can trust, to do their cleaning at night in the office alone. That's why if you are willing to work hard and be dependable, you can make good money at this. I met a fellow who earned an excellent living cleaning offices, and he only worked 4-5 hours a night, and had no employees.
Hold a party and invite people who can spread the word for you. It doesn't need to be pricey––purchase the food and drink from bulk discount stores and get family and friends to help with catering (you can give them a product or service in return).
