Student guide – how to reduce exposure from mobile phone mast signals at UK university campuses
This is a 'one-of-a-kind' student guide and it is based on ensuring the university you choose to study at understands the dangers from cell phone masts and WIFI router antennas. If the university truly understands the dangers of microwave radiation, it would not permit the installation of mobile phone masts on its campus and would pro-actively ensure that exposures to microwave radiation are kept as low as reasonably possible i.e. by hardwiring internet connections and reducing/eliminating WIFI-enabled teaching aids. The purpose of the table below is for you to question university administrators before you start your studies – good luck in all your choices.
This guide gives information on the number of mobile phone masts on and around twenty five or so UK university campuses. Exposure to cell phone frequencies may give rise to irritability, stress, anxiety, depression, as well as brain and heart tumours. Unfortunately, mobile phone companies aggressively target young people at university including student halls of residence. The following data illustrate the sad fact that telecoms companies in almost all situations erect their cell phone towers either on the campus of the university itself or around the campus boundary. Even where student accommodation is off-site, the telecoms companies follow students by erecting mobile phone towers at off-campus student halls of residence.
Scroll to the last page for tips and hints in choosing the best university for you…….
The mainstream media do not tell you but the latest scientific data of 2018 show 'clear evidence' of the carcinogenic nature of microwave radiation – the same frequencies used by mobile phone companies. There are also numerous studies linking increase in stress, anxiety, depression and other psychological problems in relation to exposure from cell phone frequencies i.e. microwave radiation. The solution for university administrators is fairly simple: examine the use of wifi, remove any on-campus mobile phone masts and come up with a plan to reduce exposure to these highly damaging radiations. Simply put, replace wifi with hardwired alternatives such as optical or Ethernet cabling and ensure their campus is as free from mobile phone masts as humanly possible.
This guide illustrates the number and placement of mobile phone masts in and around some of the biggest UK university campuses. As a rough rule of thumb, if you live or study within 200 m of a mobile phone mast, you are in a field of high signal intensity. Ideally you should spend as little time as possible within 500 m of any mobile phone masts or emergency service locations such as police, fire and ambulance stations.
How to use this student/parent campus checker:
Click on the university of your choice and discover how many mobile phone masts are on campus, in your teaching block or student accommodation. Each university campus is shaded grey and the round blue dots signify a mobile phone mast. The yellow dot approximates the centre of campus and is based on the postcode. Check the scale at the bottom left of the map to see how far a mast is from your campus, your living accommodation and study areas. Generally speaking, university campuses within city centres have the highest number of masts and the distance between each mast is usually less than 200 m.
You can also ask the university administrators the following questions to ensure they are aware of the dangers and hazards living close to mobile phone masts and their transmitting equipment.
If the answer to either of the above is a clear 'no' be careful to what you sign up to.
The table below should be treated with caution. Even in situations with no phone masts on campus and few phone masts off campus, exposure from microwave radiation is not necessarily low. In most situations, both on and off campus, it is the height of the mobile phone mast antennas that is crucial to your psychological well being.
Here is my advice:
(a) find out where you will be studying and living. An on-campus mobile phone mast means the background level of pulsed microwave radiation is relatively high.
(b) if you plan to live off-campus in designated student accommodation or halls of residence, make sure it is clear of mobile phone masts. As a general rule of thumb, it is advisable to keep at least 500 m between you and a mobile phone mast
(c) ensure your academic block is well away from any of the high power university WIFI router terminals

University of Manchester
Map 2
University of Manchester Campus view
There are 4 mobile phone masts on the University of Manchester campus with at least 12 other mobile phone masts within 500 m of the campus boundary. If your accommodation is to the North, East and south of campus it would be difficult to escape high signal intensity pulsed microwave radiation.
Map 3
University of Leeds
Map 4
University of Leeds Campus view
There are at least 8 (eight) on-campus mobile phone masts and at least a further 9 (nine) mobile phone masts within 200 m of the campus boundary. Exposure from the high signal intensity of the on-campus mobile phone antennas must be very high.
Map 5
Manchester Metropolitan University
Map 6
Manchester Metropolitan University
Manchester Metropolitan University has at least six mobile phone masts on campus and at least 14 cell phone masts within a 500 m radius. Clearly, the campus itself is a zone of high signal intensity microwave radiation particularly to the north of the campus and beyond. This is an inner-city campus which is surrounded by fairly heavy infrastructure i.e. whether one is on campus or its surrounding areas, the signal intensity of pulsed microwave radiation will be high – no place to hide.
Map 7
University of Nottingham
Map 8
University of Nottingham
There are 7 mobile phone masts on campus and at least 13 mobile phone masts dotted within 150 m of the campus boundary. This is a typical 'honey spot' approach the telecoms industry employ when installing mobile phone masts around university campuses. Note the number of Vodaphone cell phone masts on the same side of the campus spaced at 50 m and 100 m of each other – this is telecom-overkill.

Coventry University
Map 10
Coventry University Campus
Coventry University has 2 mobile phone masts on campus and about 12 other mobile phone masts within a 300 m radius of its campus boundaries. Be wary of student accommodation to the north and northwest of the campus grounds. It appears from Map 9 that the background signal level of pulsed microwave radiation is quite high based on the total number and density of mobile phone masts in one area.

University of Edinburgh
Map 15
University of Edinburgh campus view
The University of Edinburgh lies on a sprawling campus with at least 3 distinct student areas and it is not possible to pinpoint a central point within the university. The campus itself holds 11 (eleven) mobile phone company antennas. One mast is installed on Appleton Tower, the height of this mast is 46 m above ground level. This one mast must put out a huge signal across campuses and beyond. Note the density of mobile phone masts around campus boundaries and it is clear to see that signal density of pulsed microwave radiation is probably quite high. I estimate a background level between 2 volts – 5 volts per metre squared. The Canongate digital TV transmitter is also located in close proximity to campus grounds. The mast is 69 m high with a transmit frequencies between 700 MHz – 780 MHz. This transmitter will add to the already high level of electrosmog.

Sheffield Hallam University
Map 17
Sheffield Hallam University
There are at least 6 mobile phone transmit antennas on the campus of Sheffield Hallam and at least 24 mobile phone masts within 500 m of the campus. This is an inner-city university with a very high density of mobile phone masts to the north and west of the campus. Background levels of pulsed microwave radiation within the entirety of this campus and beyond will be high. There are also police TETRA antennas within 250 m of the campus boundary.
Map 18
University of Liverpool
Map 19
University of Liverpool campus view
There are 5 mobile phone masts on the campus of Liverpool University. There are also 18 other mobile phone masts within a 400 m radius of the campus. As with most city centre university campuses the telecoms companies install masts on and around the student campus perimeter, I estimate background levels of pulsed microwave radiation to be quite high.
Map 20
University of Warwick
Map 21
University of Warwick
The University of Warwick has 12 mobile phone company antennas installed on its campus including a police TETRA antenna system. The police antennas are installed 26 m above ground level, hence a massive signal within and around campus. There are at least six mobile phone masts around the perimeter of the University of Warwick campus. There are also at least 12 other mobile phone masts within 300 m of the campus boundary. That is a lot mobile phone infrastructure in one site. I would love to carry out an EMF survey of this particular university campus.

University of Newcastle
Map 24
University of Newcastle
The University of Newcastle has 5 mobile phone company antennas on campus with at least a further . That said, the mobile phone company O2 has 8 (eight) mobile phone masts within 50 m of each other – this is literally, over-kill.
Map 25
University of Abertay
Map 26
University of Abertay
There are no mobile phone masts on the campus of the University of Abertay and there are twenty (20) mobile phone masts within a radius of 500 m from the campus boundary. If we look at what is happening within 300 m of the campus we easily see that Vodaphone and T-Mobile have installed multiple pulsed microwave transmit antennas within 25m – 45 m of each other. There is no technological reason for them to have so many of their masts in one specific area. This type of thinking leads to very high levels of electromagnetic smog and it is almost impossible to get away from it. To their credit, the University do not irradiate their students yet if students live off-campus to the south east of the University their exposure must be horrendous – as it is for all persons living and working in that area.

Map 31
Nottingham Trent University – Brackenhurst campus
Nottingham Trent University is an inner-city university with probably the highest density of mobile phone masts on and around their various campuses discovered thus far. This is illustrated by Map 32 which shows several mobile phone masts at their out-of-town research campus, Brackenhurst. This is how the landscape used to look 25 years ago. In those bygone days, people opposed to the siting of mobile phones in their streets became activists, local planning laws were effective and the telecoms industries were still in their infancy. Contrast Map 31 with the number of mobile phone masts erected in a laisses-faire environment around the other campuses and it is clear to see that almost any university campus represents a 'honey-pot' for entraining and altering the brain chemistry and physiology of anyone exposed to these frequencies – especially young students. Even though I am mildly electrosensitive, I suspect I could last no more than an hour on any Nottingham Trent campus apart from Brackenhurst.

University of Stirling
Stirling University has 3 mobile phone masts to the southwest of its campus which is well away from the main site. There are however, at least 18 other mobile phone masts around the environs of the campus. The on-campus mobile phone masts are about 400 m from the student halls of residence.

University of St. Andrews – Blackadders student accomodation
Saint Andrews University has two on-campus mobile phone masts with at least 5 other masts within a 500 m radius of its campus boundary. The density of mobile phone masts on and around the campus is relatively low compared to its student population. The significant issue is the siting of a mobile phone mast in the immediate environs of student accommodation i.e. Blackadder halls of residence.

Queens University Belfast
Map 39
Queens University Belfast
There is one mobile phone mast installed at the main block of Queens University Belfast and at least 18 mobile phone masts within 400 m of its campus boundary. There are several student halls of residence and Mount Charles has 1 mobile phone mast close by, Both Elms Village and College Garden student halls of residence also have 1 mast very close. Clearly, the telecoms industries also target off-campus student accommodation when siting their masts.
Map 40
University of Aberdeen
Map 41
University of Aberdeen
There are three (3) mobile phone masts on the campus of the University of Aberdeen. The 'Orange' mobile phone mast is 43 m tall and it must put out a terrifically strong signal throughout the campus and well beyond. In contrast, there are only five mobile phone masts within 500 m of the campus boundary.
Map 42
University of Brighton Moulsecoomb campus
Map 43
University of Brighton Moulsecoomb campus
The Moulsecoomb campus has no on-site mobile phone masts and 21 other mobile phone masts within a 400 m radius of the campus boundary. There are also two police TETRA antennas within 400 m of the campus. Finally, there is a digital TV transmitter 400 m away from the campus boundary. The transmit antennas are 83 m above ground level and this one source will put a massive signal across and beyond the university campus.
Map 44
University of Bristol
Map 45
University of Bristol
Bristol University has seven (7) mobile phone masts on campus and about 17 other mobile phone masts within 100 m of the campus boundary. Six of the antennas within the campus are sited on top of Senate House and their height above ground suggest the signal to and around the campus will be very high. Significantly, there is a police TETRA mast approximately 80 m from the campus in Rupert Street. The height of this mast is 62 m above ground level. Typically, mobile phone and emergency services masts and antennas are 15 m – 25 m above ground level. The police TETRA antennas by definition of height above ground will transmit a powerful and consistent signal to the local environs and beyond. I wonder what the average power density is at say 100 m away from these antennas? More to follow …..
Map 46
University of York
Map 47
University of York
Siward's Water Tower, York University
Much of the student accommodation at York University is found at Campus West. There are no mobile phone masts on the campus with at least a further 9 mobile phone masts within 200 m of the campus border. Map 48 gives further information on why the density of mobile phone masts is relatively low i.e. 9 to the usual 20 or so elsewhere and why there are no mobile phone masts on campus. There are four mobile phone masts on Siwards Water Tower which is 28 m above ground level. There is a further mobile phone mast about 450 m from the campus boundary at a height of 34 m above ground level. To the south of Campus West there are a further four mobile masts at least 18 m above ground level. In other words, because nearly all the mobile phone masts are so high above ground level, signal coverage within and around the campus is complete and at very high signal levels. There is also a police station (Fulford Road Police Station) about 450 m from the campus boundary transmitting TETRA frequencies at 400 MHz which are modulated at a frequency of 17.6 Hz.
There is a lot going on within this area i.e high signal strength pulsed microwave radiation at GHz (gigaHertz) frequencies and TETRA police signals at 400 MHz also carrying a 17.6 Hz signal. There is more to come on this…..
Map 48
Universities of Cambridge
In this relatively small area of Cambridge, there are 23 (twenty three) mobile phone masts. Some of these masts are fairly low i.e. up to 5 m above ground level and others are as high as 30 m above ground. The topography of buildings and their differing signal absorbing, reflection and refraction characteristics make it difficult to predict areas of high signal intensity. I suspect there are plenty of 'radio blackspots' within the spires of Cambridge University campus grounds hence the mobile phone masts at 3.5 m and 5 m above ground level. I suspect that signal intensities of pulsed microwave radiation will be fairly high in some areas, i.e. line of sight to your head. The only way to assess this situation is to visit Cambridge with a detection meter. Also note the police communications TETRA mast antennas adding to the mix of fairly high intensity microwave radiation.
Map 50
University of Dundee
Map 51
University of Dundee
There is one mobile phone mast on campus and another one sited on the campus boundary. Both of these mobile masts were installed fairly high up on a university building and Church West Tower. These two antennas will transmit a fairly high signal of microwave radiation across all of the campus grounds. From what I can see from images at the top of the mast, most of the campus is line of sight to these antennas i.e. the signal on campus and beyond is relatively strong.
Map 52
University of Essex
Map 53
University of Essex
The University of Essex has one mobile phone mast on its campus grounds. The mobile phone mast (Vodaphone) is 40 m above ground level. At this height above ground, this single antenna will transmit a huge signal across all of the campus. This campus is also home to a VHF digital transmitter transmitting between 660 MHz – 710 MHz at a transmitter power of 10 watts. Once again, the signal strength from this TV transmitter will be very strong and adds to the general levels of electrosmog on the campus grounds. There are also 23 other mobile phone masts within a 500 m radius of the campus boundary..

University of Greenwich
Map 55
University of Greenwich
The University of Greenwich has no mobile phone masts on campus with two masts on the campus boundary. There are about 18 mobile phone masts within a 400 m radius of the campus boundary. The mobile phone company O2 has five (5) mobile phone masts within 100 m of the campus boundary – this is over-kill and I mean that in the literal sense. Those five O2 mobile phone masts could easily be reduced to one in order to reduce the general background levels of microwave radiation.

Liverpool John Moores University
Map 57
Liverpool John Moores University
There are no mobile phone masts on the City Campus of LJMU. There are at least 23 other mobile phone masts within a 200 m radius of the campus boundary. The placement of mobile phones around the City Campus is typical of many inner-city university grounds which leads to a high level of pulsed microwave radiation.
Map 58
Map 59
Lancaster University has three mobile phone masts on campus and a further 7 masts within a 400 m radius of the campus boundary. There is also potential for high ground currents or ELF (extremely low frequency) signals from the 'ring of steel' i.e. electricity pylons on all sides of the campus.

Map 63
University of Glasgow
The University of Glasgow has 13 (thirteen) on-campus mobile phone masts with a further 8 within a distance of 200 m around the campus boundary. Clearly, with such a high number of mobile phone companies on campus, the background intensity of pulsed microwave radiation must be high. It is slightly lower off campus, thus it is advisable to look for student halls of residence away from the university.

University of West England Frenchay campus
Map 65
University of West England Frenchay campus
The University of West England (Frenchay) campus has seven on-campus mobile phone company masts with a further 21 masts within a 200 m distance around the campus boundary. It is unusual even for the placement of mobile phone mast installations to have at least 14 mobile phone company mast within one area to the north west of the campus – that is a very high number. The signal intensity of pulsed microwave radiation must be very high and if you sleep, study and play within this part of town you will have no respite to these frequencies

Northumbria University
Map 67
Northumbria University
The University of Northumbria has four on-campus mobile phone company masts with a further 28 masts within a 150 m radius of the campus boundary. Thus, many of these masts from the same company are within 50 m of each other – yet another example of overkill leading to a high level of microwave radiation for those caught in its signal.

Leeds Beckett University
Leeds Beckett University has four on-campus mobile phone company masts with a further 32 (thirty two) within a 300 m radius of the campus boundary. There is also a police TETRA antenna network within 75 m of the campus boundary. This is probably one of the most densely populated mobile phone infrastructure of all universities. The background level within the entire area must be very high. Note all mobile phone companies site their own masts within 30 m – 50 m of each other – another example of over-kill.

The University of Lancashire has four on-campus mobile phone company masts with a further 37 (thirty seven) within a 300 m radius of the campus boundary. There are also two police TETRA antenna networks within 100 m of the campus boundary. That is a lot of telecoms infrastructure and antenna hardware in a relatively confined space. Highest signal intensities of both pulsed microwave radiation and ELFs (extremely low frequencies from TETRA) are to the east and south of the campus boundary.

Birmingham City Centre University
Birmingham City Centre University has two on-campus mobile phone company masts with a further 28 within a radius of 250 m of the campus boundary. The most heavily populated areas for mobile phone infrastructure is to the south of campus. This is typical of many inner-city mobile phone 'landscapes'. Ambient levels of pulsed microwave radiation will be high. Try and avoid living off-campus anywhere to the east and south of campus.

University of Portsmouth
Map 81
University of Portsmouth
The University of Portsmouth has 10 on-campus mobile phone company masts with a further 26 mobile phone masts within a 400 m radius of the campus boundary. Several of these masts are sited 30 m or more above ground level i.e. they emit very strong signals line of sight to the whole of the campus and beyond
Map 82
University of South Wales
Map 83
University of South Wales
The University of South Wales has zero mobile phone masts on campus with nine masts within 100 m of the campus. In total there are seventeen mobile phone masts within a 400 m radius of the campus boundary. To the east of the campus about 150 m away is a line of electricity pylons. There is potential for either ground currents of electricity or EMFs (extremely low frequency) signals at the campus and its surrounding areas. Finally, there is a digital TV transmitter about 600 m to the north of the campus. This transmitter emits frequencies around 700 MHz and because of its height emits a very strong, digitally-encoded TV signal across a wide geographical area = high levels of electrosmog.

De Montford University
Map 85
De Montford University
De Montford University has six mobile phone company masts on-campus and 35 (thirty five) other mobile phone masts within a 400 m radius of the campus boundary. Much of this hardware lies to the east and north of the campus boundary. There is also a digital TV transmitter about 500 m from the campus boundary. To reduce exposure to the mobile phone frequencies, seek living accommodation to the west of campus, preferably 700 m from the campus boundary.

University of Strathclyde
Map 87
University of Strathclyde
The University of Strathclyde has four on-campus mobile phone company masts with a further twenty masts within a 400 m radius of the campus boundary. Significantly, some of these masts are installed almost 70 m above ground level with several other masts at 30 m high. The elevated height of these antennas suggest a very strong background level of pulsed microwave radiation within and outside the environs of the campus grounds.
Map 88
Anglia Ruskin University, Chelmsford campus
Map 89
Anglia Ruskin University, Chelmsford campus
The Chelmsford campus of Anglia Ruskin University has zero mobile phone masts on-campus and fifteen masts within 400 m of the campus boundary. Potentially, this university has the lowest exposures of universities surveyed thus far.
Map 90
University of Kent
Map 91
University of Kent
The University of Kent has four on-campus mobile phone company masts with an additional eight masts within 100 m of the campus boundary. One reason for the low deployment of mobile phone masts around the campus is that one mast with three separate mobile phone company masts is installed 38 m above ground level. From what I can see of the topography of this area, line of sight transmission from these masts mean that signal intensity within and around university grounds will be high.
Map 92
University of Bournemouth
Map 93
University of Bournemouth
The University of Bournemouth has six mobile phone masts on-campus with an additional fourteen masts within 400 m radius of the campus boundary. The low deployment of mobile phone masts around the campus can in part be explained by the fact that one of the masts is installed on top of a water tower, 38 m above ground level. At high vantage points such as this, one mast can be shared between three different mobile phone companies.
Data from this student guide on how to reduce exposure to microwave radiation show that most universities, their campuses and student halls of residence are seen as honey-traps by mobile phone companies. There is ample evidence to show an over-supply of mobile phone masts and antennas around university campuses as they are installed within 50 m of each other. These tactics of over-supply and lack of government oversight, either in safety exposure to these frequencies or at the planning stage, has resulted in extremely high levels of electrosmog. Students are exposed to high intensities of microwave, UHF (ultra high frequencies) and ELFs (extremely low frequencies) on a daily basis, month after month. I argue that the level of exposure to all these frequencies is the root cause of student suicides. Clusters occur because some of us are more electrosensitive than others in the presence of strong signals. That is the context and backdrop to the scale of what is happening at some UK universities. Do bubbly, social and out-going students decide to end their young lives or are their young lives prematurely ended? The quote below is from the Bristol Post, a Bristol based newspaper, dated 5 July 2018(1):
'Nearly 100 university students took their own lives last year in the UK as counselling services at Bristol University and UWE (University of West England) faced unprecedented demand. New figures released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed that 95 students had killed themselves in the year ending July 2017 in the UK. In Bristol 13 students – 11 at Bristol University and two at UWE – have died since October 2016, which includes three in three weeks over April and May this year.'
The same newspaper goes on to report the latest tragic student suicide at Bristol university:
'During the court hearing today (July 5 2018), her dad Kurle Ogundipe said in a statement: "I last saw Omojola on March 11 when she returned home for the weekend. She appeared her usual bubbly self." Mr Ogundipe said his daughter returned to Bristol on the same day and he later received a WhatsApp message from her to say she had reached her student flat in the city. Police informed him of his daughter's death three days later. He said the family were not aware of any ill health and did not think she suffered from depression or mental health problems.'
In order to explain student suicide clusters I compiled a list of mobile phone and AIRWAVES police TETRA antenna installations at some of the biggest universities within the UK. I suspect the clue needed in explaining student suicides and student suicide clusters lies in the mix of microwave, UHF (ultra high frequencies) and ELFs (extremely low frequencies) and student exposure patterns. It is also clear that not all students suffered from mental health issues or depression. This was admitted by Bristol University's own Professor of Epidemiology just a month ago. He blamed student suicide clusters on 'copycat' happenings yet failed to explain the initial incident. Clearly, no-one is yet able to ascertain what is going on and these incidents will increase if we sit back and do nothing.
I argue a strong link between student suicide clusters and the 17.6 Hz signal that is interlaced either on police /emergency services TETRA or 3G mobile phone frequencies. This hypothesis can be tested by anyone if they look at the duration and incident of young people suicides in Bridgend Wales in 2007. If you cross-reference young people suicides against the start dates of police TETRA communications area by area, it might point to a possible cause and effect. The manner in which these signals are modulated results in the production of 17.6 Hz signals. There is plenty of scientific evidence linking a frequency of 17.6 Hz to increased irritability, stress, anxiety and ultimately depression. A frequency of 17.6 Hz lies within our upper spectrum of brainwave activities or EEG. Frequencies that lie within our natural brainwave spectrum should never be used to modulate a transmit frequency. That said, emergency services and all organisations using a transmit frequency of around 400 MHz and a 17.6 Hz modulating signal are just one layer of the problem. Mobile phone company transmitters particularly 3G systems also interlace a frequency of 17.6 Hz on their signals. Perhaps there is something slightly different about the TETRA signals – burst duration, pulse duration and the way in which these signals are encrypted?
This student guide should be used to inform you of the potential level of electrosmog you may experience at a particular university, its campus grounds and halls of residence. I focussed on the bigger universities with large student populations and these campuses are targeted by mobile phone companies. If I was to look at the smaller universities based on student population, it is probable a new picture of mobile phone density may emerge. In other words, those universities in the wilds of Scotland or down south close to the English Channel might be a better choice if you are electrosensitive.
Clearly, I would try and avoid inner city campus universities because the entire infrastructure of modern daily life is all around you both on and off campus. Exposure arises from mobile phone masts, police, fire, ambulance, shopping centres, large libraries, train and bus stations etc. Each of these facilities make extensive use of all frequencies mentioned in this guide. Some university campuses are mobile phone mast free yet there are still numerous other masts dotted around the campus boundaries. Even where there is a low density of mobile phone masts around campus, beware of a single tall mast in excess of 50 m above ground level. These antennas radiate a massive signal to all corners of the campus and beyond. If you are unsure, seek the advice of an EMF professional so that you can make an informed choice as to where to study.
There are no easy answers in elucidating cause and effect in student suicide clusters. It is multi-layered and complex because it is a social problem and can only be solved at a societal level. I refuse to believe it is the fault of depressed students taking their own lives – it just does not ring true. The norm within society is to accept and embrace digital technologies and that is precisely what billions of people the world over have done. It is very difficult for many people to accept that their governments, safety regulators, university administrators, head teachers etc would allow something like WIFI and smartphone use into society without proper safety testing but that is precisely what has happened.

I know the last time I posted I said I was taking a couple of weeks off and that it has actually turned into a few months. I also told you that there would be big announcement. And that is what this post is all about.
I have been working very hard at rebranding my blog. In the very near future Food and Fond Memories will become The Traveling Locavores. A brand new site is being designed and built as we speak. I cannot wait to share the big reveal!!! The reason for the rebrand is that my husband and I are planning on traveling extensively beginning (hopefully) by next Spring. Leading up to our going on the road I will be writing all about searching for our perfect RV and sharing what we learn about how to go about traveling full time.
Way back in 2006 and before I knew anything about blogging, Steve and I traveled for 6 months in an RV. I kept a written journal and I plan on sharing that with you once the new site is live so that you can see how easy it is to catch a case of wanderlust. At that time we had just said a bittersweet goodbye to our catering business of 18 years Affairs to Remember Catering. Hurricane Wilma had forced us into early retirement from a career that we loved. But we decided to move forward and create a new career by selling my hand made, one of a kind jewelry at art shows. We bought a 35-foot Damon Intruder RV with 2 slide outs and traveled to 23 states. We only worked on the weekends which gave us plenty of time for sightseeing the other 5 days each week. We ate at some of the most amazing restaurants and did a lot of exciting touring. And I cooked many, many wonderful meals in our tiny kitchen and outside on the grill.
Fast forward to today and we are chomping at the bit to get out of Dodge (aka Wellington, Florida) and back on the road. After our first RV we know everything we want in our next RV along with all of the things we don't want. We spend lots of time online looking at RVs for sale hoping to find the perfect one at the right price. We are not afraid to do some renovations since Steve is an expert handyman by profession.
Once we do get out of here we plan on living and eating like a local for weeks at a time in each location; really getting a feel for the area and its culinary customs. We hope to meet with chefs, farmers, artists and artisans along the way so that we can share everything we learn with you. Obviously when we dine out I will write reviews about the restaurants we visit. But I will also share recipes that I create based on the local food traditions and are easy to prepare in any small kitchen.
Coming soon will be a store featuring my jewelry, custom aprons, and vintage serveware as well as pieces from artists and artisans that we meet and affiliate links to items that I love on Amazon!
In addition to the focus changes in my writing, Steve will occasionally offer tips on RV repairs and little things we have learned to help new and seasoned RVers enjoy the ride. And since we will both be sharing information with you we will from this day forward be known as The Traveling Locavores! We can't wait to take you along on our journey across this great and beautiful country of ours and beyond. I will let you know when thetravelinglocavores.com goes live very soon!

about this painting:
When the sun goes down and night takes over the sky, the city enters a new phase of life. The onerous circle of daily responsibilities is over and you can finally relax, put everything aside and take a slow walk along the neon-lit prospect. Gently touching your tired eyes, chilly air gives you a refreshing charge of energy and sets your worried mind at ease. Here, among strangers, under the cozy blanket of darkness, you feel safe and free. Bright street lights and shop windows are beckoning invitingly tempting you to stop by and have a cup of hot coffee. This is exactly that kind of a night and Leonid Afremov is glad to show you around!
Desperately in love with night and rain, Leonid Afremov often combines these two themes in his paintings. This one is no exception. Shining stunningly under your feet, myriads of colorful reflections make the street look like a river of light. Against this motley background, the silhouettes of by-passers resemble mere strokes of paint carelessly swished off the brush. You can spend hours roaming the winding passages between the shops, peeping inside and buying trifles you don't need. Enjoy this lonely night stroll every time you need some privacy and inspiration simply by casting a look at your wall!

This outfit really had no inspiration sadly. You'd think I was not the comfiest, however, I was. I was extremely comfortable with my whole outfit, including the shoes. This is key to feeling good throughout the day. No one wants to be uncomfortable throughout the day with an outfit you can barely be in. The outfit might be cute, however, you being uncomfortable ruins it. Anyways, I'm chatting. Let's get down to the details.
Shop MY Look:
- Mink Jacket- This was an actual real mink jacket and it's vintage. I got it tailored for my proportion.
- Tan Turtle Neck Crop Top- Forever 21
- Camo Joggers- Forever 21 Mens
- Clear Boots- EGO
Why is it trendy?
With this New York weather, its mink season baby. It was freezing this morning, therefore, I had to wear my mink. This jacket is super warm, therefore, I decided to wear a thin material shirt. I went for a more comfy look because it's monday and I know everyone has those days where you rather be more on the comfier side. That was me this morning. The jacket is my statement piece. However, when I take the mink coat off, the pants are the focal point of the outfit.
Thank you so much babes for reading today! Much love💕.

The weekend started off slow as the weather people kept insisting we would probably get around 6 inches from the storm. Being the storms center was hoovering around New York it kept the heavy snow to our north. If the storm had centered around North Carolina then it would have impacted us directly. Turns out the storm only gave us a few inches if that. But we had already decided to stay in, as the gusty winds made it feel bitterly cold.
Sunday was a different story. We made up for the lack of doing nothing for sure. Looked at two houses, went to lunch at the Reading Terminal fun little spot in Philly with many different eateries to choose from, then onto the Tattoo Convention and even fit in a little shopping as well.
Felt rather like a fish out of water at the Tattoo Convention as I'm pretty sure I was the only person without ink. Think the man and I were the only two there that looked like we stepped out of the JCrew catalog sporting vibrant colors (we definitely got some looks), majority of people sported black in either the grunge or biker look. Many of the girls were scantily clad. Next time I will sport one of my cute flannels instead.
Unlike me the man is inked, in fact he has quite a few tattoos which often times surprise most people and drive me nuts. But he was wearing lots of layers so they were not visible to others.
He has a big four leaf
Celtic type of clover on his arm, with a shady looking leprechaun below
it. On his ankles he has one for the Denver Broncos, SF Giants and
frat initials from his college days. At least the ankles ones are not
too noticeable but the arm ones drive me crazy.
Don't get me wrong I think the artwork involved in tattoos is phenomenal, I enjoy checking them out on others. In fact, we have become rather hooked on that reality show Inkmaster. And though I have thought about getting one or even two I know it would drive me crazy to know it was permanently on my skin. This may sound funny but I would feel like my skin is dirty and get tired of it being in same place. ha
I have no photos to show from the weekend which I'm a little bummed about. But sometimes it's good to simply enjoy the moment without worrying about capturing it on film.
Anyway, this Monday I'm simply trying to get some work done. I've decided it's easier to make lists then have to try to remember it all. Plus seeing it written down helps inspire me to complete it in a more timely fashion. So it's back to working on the list.

Basket won't update without "Refresh Basket"
lifegrains replied to lifegrains's topic in Technical HelpOK, so I think I cleaned up my redirect issues a fair bit. One of the main culprits was the SSL section of the settings in Cubecart. It had the ~lifegrai and the IP address entries. I removed those and put in the URL. However, it still does not update the basket when I add an item....(!) Also, if my cookie is being destroyed, why would it "remember" the items, but not update the page until I click update? Thanks for being helpful!
Basket won't update without "Refresh Basket"
lifegrains replied to lifegrains's topic in Technical HelpThis is happens with any system (my pc, my linux pc, my friend's pc, even my phone!), so I don't think it is a device-configuation issue. Also, it doesn't seem like I am losing my session, because when I refresh, everything is there. It just won't show up until I do the refresh. If you would like to see it in action, go to www.lifegrains.com. I do sometimes get an error from the browser that there have been too many redirects when I try to add the first item. Then I refresh and the item is there. Thanks for your help!
lifegrains started following Basket won't update without "Refresh Basket"
Basket won't update without "Refresh Basket"
lifegrains posted a topic in Technical HelpWhenever you click on Add to Basket, the basket doesn't add that item unless you manually do a browser refresh, or click the Refresh Basket button. You can add 3 or 4 items, and none of them will show up, then when you click Refresh Basket, they are all there. So Cubecart knows they are supposed to be there, but it isn't updating the Basket page to reflect it. This happens both on the main basket page, and also on the mini-cart in the navigation bar. I had done some customization of the scripts, and thought that might be the problem, but then I totally overwrote everything and went back to the stock scripts when I upgraded to 6.2.1, but the problem still persists. I've tried different browsers (Opera, Firefox, Explorer) with the same results, so I don't think it is a browser issue. Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be causing this?
Hi, My apologies for the late reply. I've been dealing with some health issues (temporary, but annoying and intrusive.) I will look over your notes and see how I may apply your suggestions as these are a bit beyond my ken at the moment. I've a meeting with my business partner this week and will share this with him as well. He's a bit more adept at this sort of thing than I. Thank you again and deeply appreciate your kind assistance. Enjoy your weekend. Respectfully, Carl
Again Mr. Smither you're a gentleman and most excellent. Here's the address (still in development): http://220.127.116.11/~lifegrai/cubecart/ Thanks, CJ
Basket Updating Issue(s)
lifegrains posted a topic in Technical HelpHi All, I've tried looking for an answer to this to no avail and would greatly appreciate the expertise of someone who may know. I've tried both showing the basket after selecting an item and staying on "x" product page after adding an item to the basket. Neither seems to matter. When the first item goes to the basket - it shows the cost. When going to the home page or any other on the site for that matter the basket icon does not register the total cost of items in the basket, but rather shows $0.00. If I select a second item, the basket DOES NOT automatically update and the item does not appear. When I move to another page, the basket does not automatically update either. If I refresh the page, the basket will update. What's going on? Though more importantly how can I fix this issue? Thank you for the kind assistance. This is most frustrating. Respectfully, CJ

Difference between Christianity & Islam
The above is sufficient to show the nature of these accusations of our "Modernists" against the religious scholars of opposing the demands of time and Science and Technology? The question arises as to why the "Modernists" are so forcefully propagating this extremely unreasonable claim? As far as we can trace there is probably a psychological factor in action, if we rule out any specific motives behind it the fundamental error which misled these modernists is that they consider Islam analogous to Christianity and the Islamic world to the West. They had observed that at the time of revival of science and technology in the West the biggest obstacle was Christianity along with its scholars. As long as the supremacy of church prevailed in the West the whole region was filled with ignorance and illiteracy. The Christian scholars tried to suppress every such attempt that was made to create scientific awareness among the people. People like John Hiss and Jerome were burnt alive in the city of Constance. The renowned scientist Galileo had to suffer calamities because he wanted to open new avenues in the field of science. But gradually the awareness spread and several movements came out. These tortures could not stop them, and ultimately Martin Luther, John Calone and Zongli put up a struggle that defeated Papalism and these movements got their chance to flourish. Lately Russo, Horonic and Reman with other modernists made further changes and innovations in the religion and brought it in conformity to the scientific researches of that time. The situation now is that Luther, Calone, Ruso and Horonic etc. have been titled as Reformers by the religious minded people of the West. They are regarded as national heroes and people of the new generation, who have not yet become totally alien to religion, regard them with a sense of honor and dignity that by making fundamental changes in Christianity they freed the nation from the grip of Papalism which was the greatest obstacle in the way of their material progress.

Now listen. What I'm about to tell you is very important: It's iced coffee season.
I mean, it has been for months because NorCal forgets what wintering looks like but it's iced coffee season all the same.
It's one of my very favorite seasons.
Now, I'm not saying we have a PROBLEM…but when Sarah mentions her new and unstoppable love for Starbucks iced coffee that you can BUY AT THE STORE, all of a sudden you're going to question everything you've ever believed to be true about iced coffee.
It's just so goooood.
While I absolutely blame Sarah for my new addiction, I ain't mad, bro. It's just really so damn good. Getchu some.
And no…none of this is sponsored or gifted. We are just that addicted to coffee. Duh.

There comes a time in every student's life when they wonder, "Am I doing the right thing?" Hahahahahahaha! You'll never know. I thought I was doing the right thing transferring to my smaller school. I thought my major was just what I needed. I thought my life was going well. I was doing the right thing.
Well, Karma decided I needed a big ol' *FWAP* right in the back of the head. The only thing that has stayed constant is the damned school, and that may change.
My major, yeah, convoluted in the worst possible way. I've decided I must be a masochist. I'm now a Psychology major with a concentration in Criminal Justice and a minor in Sociology. So, yeah, still going for forensic psych or law, but I have to take the hard way. I always do. Yippee!
Life has thrown me some curve balls as well. Last Fall semester, I had a relapse of Epstein-Barr virus. Fun stuff, let me tell you. My doctor asked that I dropped all of my classes, but I kept Health Psychology and did fairly well. The winter break came and I thought all would be well.
Au contraire mon frair. I started Winter and felt iffy. By the third week, I had to drop everything. I was losing more and more energy as time went on. I was getting worse, not better.
Now, here's why my school sucks. Back in the Fall, I called the financial aid office to find out what would happen with my loans and grants if I dropped. "Nothing," they said, "but if you drop them all, they might adjust your Pell grant."
Okay, shit happens. Health takes precedent. I'm at least that sane, I think. So I dropped Winter and get a bill for over $1,000 dollars. Uh, who-did-what-to-whose-mother-now? I called the FA office again. "Oh, you still have your Pell but they changed the rules about loans. If you drop below half time two semesters in a row, you have to pay part back."
*deep breaths whilst shredding paper* That was the same question I asked them and now I get a different answer. This happens every semester. They screw me somehow.
I hate the transfer process, and I already have two of my semesters registered, but I'm really tempted to find a new school for Fall 2011. I need change, and I do believe the Grizz may have had it at this point.
I need an effing nap.

Saving changes!
I am very picky about what I feed my dogs and it is hard to find really healthy treats for them that are not loaded with junk, do not come from China, and that they are willing to eat (they are picky too). I was happy to find Nana's Biskitz and even happier when my dogs loved them. I definitely recommend the peanut butter paw prints and the chicken jerky which my pups absolutely love!

Have you decided that you want to start a fresh career as an ultrasound technician in White Sulphur Springs WV? If so, you're about to join one of the more satisfying careers in the healthcare field. However, you're going to require the proper training and there are certainly a number of good ultrasound technician schools near White Sulphur Springs WV. This training and education will undoubtedly be the cornerstone to your success as a diagnostic medical sonographer.You will discover a huge selection of different colleges and training programs available for ultrasound technicians. But how can you tell which one is going to be the right one for you? Similar to any other vocation, you will find a number of very important details you must take a look at first before taking part in any training program and sonography training is not any different.
Recommended Ultrasound Technician Schools Near White Sulphur Springs WV
- Ultimate Medical Academy is a nonprofit healthcare career school—and students are at the heart of everything we do.
- That's why we offer exclusive student services through your career training and beyond, beginning from the time you enroll online or at our campus in Clearwater, FL.
- We'll also guide you toward the right program for your goals, and help you understand the affordability of your career training.
- So let us know you're interested, and we'll discuss how UMA can help you succeed.
- A.S. - Healthcare Technology and Systems
Listed here are five details you might need to consider before choosing any ultrasound technician school.
The initial item you should look at is the institution's accreditation. This is significant because you want to make certain that you are receiving the very best education . Every single sonography technician training program ought to be accredited by the CAAHEP or a similar accrediting organization in your State.
The next item you should consider in relation to your ultrasound technician training program is the focus. Some schools put their focus on the best way to work in a medical-related environment, while some focus more on studying the actual technologies of sonography.
Clinical Training
Another very important thing that you should consider is the practical education experience. This is your real training , and this is where you will actually be instructed how to use current ultrasound machinery. A number of schools dedicate much more time on your laboratory training as compared to others. If it turns out your training program is not spending considerable time with hands on teaching, make sure to find out why. In the majority of States you will need to have a minimum amount of clinical hours logged prior to being eligible to test for licensing.
Class Size
Something else to take under consideration is your class size. The size of your school will differ from school to school . You should find out how small the classes are at the facility you will be going to since this will give you a good idea of how much one-on-one learning you can expect.
Graduation Rate
The last matter you need to consider before deciding on an ultrasound technician school is the success rate of the school you're considering. Make sure to ask the number of people that graduate from the program, what their comments were, and exactly how many of them have actually moved on to become ultrasound techs.
Ready to Make a Decision ?
Running through these five steps prior to choosing any ultrasound technician school can make your decision a lot easier and make it easier to become the highest quality sonographer you can be. Now that your choice is made its time for you to get ready for the path that lies in front of you, what should you be expecting during your sonography training?
Ultrasound Technician Training Expectations
Ultrasound technician training consists of training students how to examine and identify various medical conditions by using sound wave technology to capture images of organs and human tissue. There are a lot of accredited programs that offer this type of training courses, which includes clinical, laboratory and class instruction.
Students dedicate the majority of their time in training working on the techniques required to operate and take care of ultrasound machinery . Making it possible for them to create medical images by making use of ultrasound techniques. Generally, medical facilities prefer sonographers to have received schooling from accredited training programs and to have taken and passed the assessment prepared by the ARDMS (American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers).
Those working in this career must be proficient in human anatomy, medical jargon and also patient assessment. Excellent communication skills are also necessary in order to reduce any anxieties or nerves a patient can have as they undergo technical procedures. An eye for high quality images and skills in choosing and reviewing images are also generally essential.
Formal Education
Formal education is usually received by enrolling in a program offered by diagnostic sonography training programs, universities and colleges. The majority of hopeful ultrasound technicians prefer to register for 2-year associate's degree programs, however bachelor programs are also offered. Candidates will have to possess a high school diploma with coursework having been completed in math, basic sciences as well as health.
Associate of Science in Ultrasound Technology
An Associate of Science in Ultrasound Technology program focuses primarily on teaching students in the use of medical imaging machines, in order to diagnose a variety of medical problems as well as the treatments that should be used . This type of ultrasound technician training degree requires quite a few hours spent in community health-care facilities, practical training in practice labs and in-class lectures . Generally , the areas of patient care methods, medical ethics, anatomy and physiology, common physics and acoustic physics, are taught. Supplementary classes in abdominal scanning, vascular technology and obstetrics , may also be available.
Bachelor of Science in Diagnostic Ultrasound Technology
Traditionally, this program takes four years to complete, and provides an in depth study of various ultrasound specialties that are needed for graduates to work as researchers, administrators or managers. Practical experience in gynecological, obstetrics and abdominal ultrasound procedures is obtained through clinical internships and class room teaching. With a B.S. degree you will be in the upper half of all sonographers in terms of education and according to the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median salary for Diagnostic Medical Sonographers is over $65,000.
Job Experience
Although the completion of an ultrasound technician training program is sufficient to obtain entry-level jobs in the field, five years of ultrasound working experience is necessary for higher paying jobs that come with more responsibility, for instance administration and management careers.
Certification & Licensing
Ultrasound Technicians are not required be licensed ; of course, the majority of companies prefer to hire techs that possess certificates from a certifying body, such as the ARMDS. This is because certification provides proof that an individual has the competencies and experience required to work effectively and productively.
Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer
Students planning to obtain a RDMS certificate are required to pass the certifying examination set by the ARDMS . When the examination is successfully completed, a specified amount of units in continuing education must be completed, if you want to maintain your certification. This type of ultrasound technician training might include a range of specialties, including abdominal, nervous system or breast imaging.

If you have ever lived in, worked in, or visited New York City, and had to get around by car, you understand what a hassle parking in the city can be. So I was considerably intrigued the other day to read an article heralding the opening of a new robotic parking garage in the Big Apple.
Don't worry -- the system doesn't demand that you turn your keys over to a robot.. Instead, your car is placed on a pallet, and a robotic contraption efficiently whisks the automobile away for safe storage.
As cool as that is, it's not what caught my attention. Instead, I was surprised to learn that the robotic system, built by Automation Parking Systems, is so efficient that it can fit 67 cars in a space that normally only holds 24. It is able to do this not only by packing cars closer to one another (there is no need to leave space to open a car door) but also because it can do away with ramps and other superfluous maneuvering space.
When you consider that it costs roughly $25 a day to park in New York City, then multiply that figure by the number of additional cars such a system can handle, you get some idea of how robots might possibly make a solid long-term investment.
All across the emerging field of robotics, similar opportunities for cost savings are emerging. It's well-known (at least on these pages) that Intuitive Surgical's
In more practical terms, this means shorter hospital stays and fewer nurses to watch over the patients. It also suggests that the hospital can make more doctors (and beds) available to serve other patients.
The same is true of other robots. For instance, iRobot's
My recommendation: Consider some modest investments in the emerging field of robotics, then park those investments away. By helping other businesses "do more with less," they themselves are likely to prosper. In so doing, they could end up helping you squeeze a little more out of your portfolio.

Well, not in young children and pets. But I detest it when it is forced or someone thinks they are being clever. I especially hate it in grown men especially when they use it to cover a lack of respect.
Most women sales people have figured out that "cute" in sales calls is a dangerous thing. You are fighting for credibility anyway so you don't make it harder on yourself. When will men figure it out? I just took a sales call. Don't know the product, we never got that far.
The call started with an overly cheerful and long greeting. I had to put him back on track by asking what I could help him with. He asked to speak to the general manager. I said that that was me. His response? "Is that your name? Me?" If it had not been asked in a cheerful tone I would almost say it was rude. He never asked my name but plays cute. He never got my name since I said I could tell he was a telemarketer and asked him again what he wanted. He hung up.
Could he have sold me something I wanted? I don't know but to get that far with me he would have had to:
- Quickly said good morning, given me his name and company and asked to speak the GM
- When I said I was the GM, ask for name.
- Quickly gone into the reason for the call.
- If (When) I said no thanks, thanks me for my time and hangs up.
Try again in a few months and be as respectful of my time and this time I might be in the position to buy. But as long as the sales rep plays "cute", they will never get my business.
Second Call...

Four years ago Nimsoft (under the name of Converse Software) commenced business in the US. We started with an office that was no more than 150 square feet and we had initially two people (Paul Rowe and myself) and then added one more (Dan Birck) in this space. Needless to say, we got to know each other very well!
Since then we have moved office twice and today we are proudly in our new 8,000 sq ft home in Redwood Shores. If we walk out of our front door, we pretty much walk into the lobby of Electronic Arts – the largest video game software company in the world. If we look out of the window, we see the headquarters of Oracle. Motivation indeed for us to continue on our growth path.
We have so many good things going on at Nimsoft. Our recent Nfluence User Conferences were extremely well attended and we saw amazing presentations from 5 separate Nimsoft customers. The new product release is going well and we will be announcing some pretty significant corporate updates in the next few weeks.
I'm off the the UK tomorrow to meet more customers, so I'll be able to enjoy our new offices for all of about 10 hours.
And finally, what are my kids getting for Christmas? Remember they already have the iPods…..
Nintendo DS, one black and one white – "I need the one with the double screen dad".
Joy of joys.

What is Constant Gap Theory (CGT)?
Well, Constant Gap Theory (CGT) is a theory on AI singularity. AI singularity is a kind of prediction which claims that Artificial Intelligent will reach human level sooner. Human level means think like human or act rationally. If we take 'human level' in terms of efficiency, AI has already reached it by its functionality or… বাকিটুকু পড়ুন What is Constant Gap Theory (CGT)?

Canadian Women carry the hopes of the nation as they embark on the upcoming Women's Rugby World Cup that begins August 9th (Wednesday) in Dublin. Yesterday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau aired a bilingual, good luck message to the team.
In the 2014 WRWC in Paris, the Canadians finished a surprising second, winning a silver medal.
Most recently, the Canadians finished third in a four team warm up in New Zealand. England won the series, defeating the Kiwis. The Red Roses are top of the rankings at 92.46, slightly ahead of the Black Ferns who tally 91.98. Canada stand lower at 87.13 while the USA rank seventh with a 76.60 rating.
The Canadian Women's 7s placed third in this season's HSBC World Rugby Women's 7s series behind champions New Zealand and Australia. The Maple Leafs won the Sydney event, the only tournament not won by the Black Ferns.
The women have been the sole bright spot in rugby Canada these past few years as the Men's XV have underperformed, dropping to an all-time low of 23rd in the World Rugby rankings. Further, the Canadian Men have not beaten the USA since August 2013, experiencing six losses and one draw. They - and not the USA as in the past - will have to qualify for the Americas 2 slot in the 2019 Rugby World Cup in Japan. This will be home and away games against Uruguay.
The Canadian Women feature a seasoned group of 18 players returning from that last World Cup in 2014 when the Maple Leafs lost to England 21-9 in the final. The Russell sisters Laura and Kelly are standout players. Also in the mix is Magali Harvey, 2014's Women's Player of the Year, who scored a wonder try against France in the 2014 WRWC semis.
To advance, the Canadians must beat New Zealand in pool play in the third match or tally enough points if they lose to the Black Ferns.
A nation waits for this important rugby game.

A five-year-old Canton girl has melted hearts with the simple, yet thoughtful gesture of giving out flowers to her neighbors.
Canton resident Amy Houck, 33, captured her daughter Jade distributing dandelions on the front steps of her neighbors' homes on Friday and shared the gracious moment in a video on the Canton Neighbors Facebook group. The video, shared Saturday, has received more than 1,500 likes and around 60 comments.
Houck said her daughter got the idea after school when they were walking around a neighborhood square and Jade spotted lilies. She wanted to pick them, but Houck encouraged her to pick the dandelions instead, after which Jade gathered a large pile and began putting an individual flower on her neighbors' doorsteps.
"She was talking to herself, saying 'All the people would be so happy if they had flowers!'" Houck said. The moment prompted Houck to whip out her camera to capture the tail-end of Jade's random act of kindness. (By that time, Jade had already given flowers to around 10 houses, Houck said.)
"She even tried to give one to a puppy in the window," said Houck, adding that the video has had a positive reaction among neighbors and beyond. "Everyone felt happier inside, and that this is the type of news that we need to see in Baltimore."
Canton has experienced a spike in crime in recent months. Houck said she was robbed outside of her home in February. She said the video reminded her how far love and kindness can spread — and that a 5-year-old can be at the center of it all.
"We'd like to see more of that love in Canton," Houck said. "To let each other know we're all here together. We're a community. … If we just care a little more about each other, it makes the whole neighborhood better.".

Project Description(Last Updated On: March 23, 2018)
Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge measuring with ultrasonic wave, is applicable for measuring the thickness of any material in which ultrasonic wave can be transmitted and reflected back from the other face.
The gauge can provide quick and accurate measurement to various work pieces such as sheets of board and processing parts. Another important application of the gauge is to monitor various pipes and pressure vessels in production equipment, and monitor the thinning degree during using. It can be widely used in petroleum, chemical, metallurgy, shipping, aerospace, aviation and other fields.
Primary Theory
The primary theory of measuring thickness with ultrasonic wave is similar to that of measuring thickness with optical wave. The ultrasonic wave emitted from the probe reaches the object and transmits in it. When the ultrasonic wave reaches the bounding surface of the material, it is reflected back to the probe. The thickness of the material can be determined by accurately measuring the time of the ultrasonic wave transmitting in it

Explore your roots, unearth your history and discover your hidden heritage. Tartan can take you on a journey back in time and give you an excuse to wear some of the world's finest textiles.After having a closer look at Clan Macpherson last month, this month we are turning our gaze to Clan Grant.
A bit of history
The exact origins of the Grants are hard to tie down, some historians suggest that the Grants came over with the Normans and others suggest the Grants are descended from King Alpin. What the case may be, we do know is that the Grants acquired lands around Stratherrick in the thirteenth century. During the Wars of Independence the Grants fought on the side of William Wallace and later Robert the Bruce, who was to confer upon them lands in Strathspey, where they have been based ever since. That is not to say that Grants have not made their way out into the wider world, no no, Grants can be found in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States. The Cherokee Nation even has a connection the Grants, Ludovick Grant was captured at the siege of Preston in 1715 and transported to South Carolina where he married a Cherokee woman. In fact, in 2010 the Chief of the Clan, the Rt. Hon. Sir James Grant invited members of the Cherokee Nation to take part in the 130thAbernathy Highland Games. So, it seems that the Grants are a truly international Clan. Back in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the Grants were one of the lucky clans to escape the Highland Clearances, owing in no small part to the charity of "Good Sir James" Grant who, seeing that his clansmen were threatened, decided to build Grantown-on-Spey to provide a home for those at risk of losing theirs. This spirit of generosity has become a tell-tale trait of the Grants. Sir Alexander Grant donated around £200,000 to the National Library of Scotland (that's about £6,000,000 in today's money!) That's enough history for now, surely? Let's get to grips with the human element of Clan Grant. Among the descendants of the clan we can count artists, titans of commerce, actors and even a president of the United States!
Notable Grants[caption id="attachment_6395" align="alignright" width="300"] One of our hip flask gift sets would be a great way of keeping a little Glenfiddich close at hand.[/caption] William Grant founded the Glenfiddich distillery in 1886 and on Christmas day the following year the first fiery drops of whisky flowed from the still. Glenfiddich is notable as being the first distillery to produce single malt, before William got involved, all proprietary whiskies were blended. William Grant's whiskies are now sold in 180 countries around the world and account for some 35% of the total of all single malt sales. Sir Alexander Grant, the same one I mentioned above, worked his way up through the ranks of McVitie and Price Ltd to become the head of the company. Alexander's greatest achievement in his time at McVities was to create the Digestive Biscuit, that's right a Grant is directly responsible for the more than 71million packets of chocolate digestives eaten in the UK each year, which is about 52 biscuits a second, by the way! Ulysses S. Grant, the S doesn't stand for anything, was descended from Clan Grant on his father's side of the family. Grant was a noted general during the American Civil War, it is said that he carried a small piece of Grant tartan with him on the battlefield, and later became the 18th President of the United States. Ulysses apart from being a noted general was also a noted tippler. His dipsomania was so notable that a group of congressmen reported Grant's drunkenness to Abraham Lincoln who is said to have asked which kind of whisky Grant preferred as "if it made fighting generals like Grant, I should like to get some of it for distribution." Clearly Grant's drinking didn't hinder his abilities too much then! As great as whisky, biscuits and presidents are (especially the first two, sorry Ulysses), no list of noteworthy Grants would be complete without at least a mention of my favourite Grant of all... I am, of course, talking about Hugh Grant. Hugh burst onto the international stage in 1994's Four Weddings and a Funeral. Since then Hugh has appeared in films such as Bridget Jones' Diary, About a Boy, Mickey Blue Eyes and Cloud Atlas. As well as showing up in movies, Hugh is no stranger to showing up in the tabloids and was an instrumental voice during the Leveson Inquiry into phone hacking in the UK press.
If like Ulysses S. Grant, you wish to keep a little Grant tartan by your side, can I suggest taking a look in our store? We have a huge selection of products available in Grant tartans where you are sure to find something for any occasion. Until next time, stand fast.
