Relationship Advice: Helping Women Get Over a Breakup Faster
Heartbreak is difficult but there is always a valuable lesson to be learned.
In the video above Dear Sybersue discusses a topic that many women write to her about. They want to know how to get over a breakup a lot faster. Their self-esteem takes a beating and they can't seem to move on and feel good about themselves.
In the post below Sybersue goes into more depth about breakups and why men seem to move on much quicker from a relationship than many women do, which allows them to bring happiness back into their lives at a faster rate.
This often happens because some men decide their partnership is over way before the actual time they end it; which allows them to be a lot more emotionally prepared when it does transpire. This can blindside a woman wondering what the Hell happened, why it ended and why their partner has moved on so quickly!
This is also one of the reasons why many ladies take so much longer to get past the hurt and sadness. It is a huge rejection to them because they didn't any see red flags and thought everything was fine.
Unfortunately in many cases women choose to ignore these red flags, as there are usually some signs that a man is moving away from the relationship.
Of course there will always be those big actors that play a great role in showing no signs of discontent within their relationship; but for the most part there are some indications that things have changed.
This is why it is crucial to make your partnership a priority. Never take things for granted and give all you can to nurturing it on a daily basis. Never stop communicating!
Quite often couples grow apart over the years due to boredom or complacency but it is still difficult to end a long-term partnership. You have grown accustomed to having them in your life even if the romance has deteriorated.
It is always harder on the person who did not initiate the breakup!
After the Breakup
Your heart and ego takes a bruising when a relationship ends because you feel crushed that your partner doesn't want to be with you anymore. After about six months and the initial hurt dies down a little, you will begin to see that there is some light in the future for you.
If you are really being honest with yourself, you will start to understand that your breakup happened for a reason and that you were meant to be in a happier place. You can start fresh without having to tiptoe around a partnership that has deteriorated into a bland existence.
We all change over the years and we are not always meant to be with one partner our entire life. We learn so much through each stage of our lives but the important thing is to take what we were taught from these lessons and move forward. Stop dwelling on what didn't work.
Be optimistic that there are wonderful new beginnings coming onto your path and embrace them. Get off the couch ladies, dust off your pride and get out there to be the best NEW you ever.
There is a reason your relationship ended and it is usually a wake up call for you to be in a much more exciting place. Don't spend too much time dwelling on your ex and open up your eyes to see what the Universe has in store for the next part of your future!

Back in April, I had the pleasure of attending TEDx Seattle, a great conference that included artists, researchers and scientists sharing stories about how technology and culture intersect. (If you don't already, you should subscribe to the TED podcast.)
One of my favorite speakers from the event was Ben Huh, owner of the IcanHasCheezburger Network, and associated with everything #lol, #cat and #fail. Ben shared a touching story in his presentation "19 Thinks that I Owe Myself to Accomplish". Filled with emotion, Ben talked about his first failed business and he came to build his current blog empire--all the while accomplishing life goals.
Ben had a total of 19 goals on his list. Some he had accomplished (learn to ride a motorcycle) and some he had yet to (give away a million dollars). The goals were grouped under categories: Have Fun, Help Yourself, and Help the World.
Ben's speech was so inspirational, I decided to make my own list of goals, complete with groupings.
So without further adieu, here is what I came up with.
In no particular order, this is what I want to achieve in my life.
Find My Limit
- Learn how to kickbox
- Ride a motorcycle to Alaska
- Run 100 miles without stopping
- Travel around the world
- Win an athletic competition
- Earn an award
Build a Base
- Become an expert at something
- Find the perfect woman
- Sell a company for a profit
- Raise a child
- Own a house
Help Others
- Teach at a college
- Become a blogger
- Write a book
- Teach my child how to ride a bike
- Become a public speaker
- Pay for my child's college education
So, that's what I have at the moment. There will probably be a few drafts of this.

KADENA AIR BASE, Japan -- When an Airman gets into a government owned vehicle, the assumption is the vehicle will start up with zero issues and be able to help the Airman get from point A to point B. What may not be known is when there's a flat tire or dead battery, the 18th Logistics Readiness Squadron vehicle maintenance shop has the tools and people to help get the vehicle up and running again.
The shop is composed of both military members and contractors, including local nationals, who work on anything from an oil change to engine replacement. The wealth of available knowledge between the Airmen and local nationals helps the shop keep up with the pace of requests, as well as dealing with the challenges of island weather and its effects on vehicles.
"Our biggest obstacle is corrosion," said Master Sgt. Brian Henry, 18th LRS vehicle management supervisor. "Our job is to keep vehicles safe and serviceable so that the mission can be accomplished."
The shop has a process called airfield damage repair anti-corrosion, or ADR, created to tackle issues of rust and corrosion that come with being in a tropical climate.
The process involves covering parts and taping off surfaces, then spraying anti-corrosion paint. Once the paint has dried, the vehicle is un-taped and cleaned ensuring the coating was applied properly.
"We are specialized and experienced in the job," said Masakazu Miyazato, 18th LRS body repair technician. "I worked in a similar job before working here and I have been at 18th LRS for 16 years. The experience is helpful in teaching the Airmen what I know, and they are able to teach me as well."

By Ethan Maurice | February 1, 2017
If you were me a few years ago, this would be the best page on the internet you've ever landed on. It's a list of people and websites that have had the greatest impact on me, with links to the pages I've found most profound or taken the most from.
There's a lot here—if you're into it, bookmarking this page might be a good idea.
Without further ado, my 12 favorite people and websites on the internet:
1. Tim Ferriss
In addition to reading The 4-Hour Workweek twice and much of Tim's blog, I've listened to over 200 episodes of his podcast, The Tim Ferriss Show. I can't recommend the podcast enough. Tim interviews world-class performers, from athletes to CEO's to philosophers, and attempts to extract the lessons, habits, and tactics that make them the best at what they do. A few of my favorite interviews are with Kevin Kelly, Wim Hof, and Seth Godin.
2. The Art of Non-Conformity
I've been following Chris Guillebeau's website, The Art of Non-Conformity for years. A travel hacker who's visited every country in the world, Chris taught me how to fly for free using travel credit card bonuses. Thanks to Chris I'm writing these very words in Fox Glacier, New Zealand right now. I've read his first free manifesto, A Brief Guide to World Domination, half a dozen times. I also had my own profile published on The Art of Non-Conformity last fall.
3. Zen Habits
Written by Leo Babauta, Zen Habits helped me start meditating, develop better habits, and do less. It's made me more mindful and understanding of myself, others, and the world.
4. Ryan Holiday
I started following Ryan Holiday after reading his first book, Trust Me I'm Lying, which reveals how broken our news cycle is and how he used to exploit it. This article helped me realize I was starting The Living Theory for the right reasons. His post about the commonplace book caused me to start my own. I'm traveling now, but when I had a desk, one quote from The Obstacle is the Way was tacked above it:
"We often assume that the world moves at our leisure. We delay when we should initiate. We jog when we should be running, or better yet, sprinting. And then we're shocked—shocked!—when nothing big ever happens, when opportunities never show up, when new obstacles begin to pile up, or the enemies finally get their act together."
5. Derek Sivers
Derek's blog is all insight and no fluff. I first encountered him through his interview on the Tim Ferriss Show. There's a famous Oscar Wilde quote that "everything popular is wrong," and I often feel Derek makes a case for that in most of his posts. I also love this three minute TED Talk of his.
Joel Runyon is a badass. The creator of IMPOSSIBLE, he's all about doing "impossible" things. As part of his current project called 777 (7 ultra marathons on 7 continents to raise funding to build 7 schools), he ran a 100K race in Antarctica last week. Joel's also really into cold showers. I stop by Joel's site to remind myself that I'm the one who sets my limitations.
7. Live Learn Evolve
Live Learn Evolve is a collection of eye-opening, mind-expanding content from around the web. A couple of my favorites: This is Water, Stop Living in the Future and Live Fully Now, and 60 Seconds of Awe-Inspiring Life Advice from Steve Jobs.
8. Brain Pickings
Maria Popova is the wondrous mind behind Brain Pickings. I find it difficult to explain exactly what Brain Pickings is, so I'll leave it to her site's tagline: "An inventory of cross-disciplinary interestingness, spanning art, science, design, history, philosophy, and more." I'm a big fan of Hunter S. Thompson's Advice on How to Find Your Purpose and Live a Meaningful Life, The Ben Franklin Effect, and Maria's interview on The Tim Ferriss Show.
9. In Over Your Head
Julien Smith hasn't posted on his blog since 2014 as he's CEO of a company called Breather now, but I still go back into the archives once in a while. I love The Complete Guide to Not Giving a F*ck, The Short and Sweet Guide to Being F*cking Awesome, and basically everything in the "best" section of his blog.
10. Live Unbound
Created by television editor Yali Sharon, Live Unbound is built to inspire. Watch Above All Else, a seven-minute documentary or read Home, an email from a Live Unbound reader that moved me to tears. Yali's TED Talk about following fear is loaded with wisdom too.
11. Raptitude
Raptitude is about "getting better at being human" and it's creator, David Cain is one insightful dude. Some of my favorite posts: A Day in the Future, Life is Looking Out A Window, An interview with The Man.
12. Lightning Notes
I haven't been following The Lightning Notes for too long, but Caitie Whelan put on a workshop at my younger sister's college a couple months ago and I heard all about it. Each Sunday now, I get her profound weekly email. Start with these posts: The Truth About Bananas, Wild and Defiant, and Steven Spielberg on the Importance of Fear.
Well, there you have it. If you like what I read online, you'll probably like the books I read as well.

You get around 30 elastic bands and tie them together so that it will look like a big circle. You need 3 people to play, or 2chairs and 1 person. You put the 2 chairs or two people at either side and put the elastic at their ankles and work up and up when you have finished it. Then the other person jumps on the first line, then the second line and then you jump in between the line you just jumped on, then you jump in between the first line. Then you start at the beginning again and put your leg under the first line then you put your leg over the second line and bring your leg back {with your leg in the elastic}, to the starting point. You put your 2 feet on the elastic that you had just brought back. Then you try to jump on the first line.
By Jean Meehan
Picke is a game where you would draw around six boxes on the ground and put numbers in them but the numbers couldn't be in order they had to be jumbled up. Then you would have to get a bottle cap or a stone and try and kick it with one leg in the air. What ever number it landed on would be the number of points you would get.
Link the wall
One person is on and if that person catches you then the two of you have to link arms and try to catch the other people playing.

One person gets a coin. The other person playing would put their fist on a flat surface. The person with the coin would hit the knuckles of the other player. The first person's knuckles to bleed was the loser.

Measurements: height – 2.6 cm, width – 4.4 cm
Description: A carved calcite alabaster pommel in a shape of two heads. Pierced in the middle; each with an oval face with incised features: pronounced slightly curved lips, flattened nose with accentuated alas and elongated bridge flowing in elegant manner into swing of eyebrows, deep eye sockets, high forehead and visible ears on strong thick neck. One head has delicate glass eye inlays with blue pupils and two drilled holes in the middle on the top of the forehead, while the other has a series of holes starting from the hair line and further back over the surface, some with the traces of glass inlays and bitumen, indented for extra attachments such as plaster or bitumen wig or headdress.
In the ancient Mesopotamia alabaster was used for making bowls and jars for the religious and royal needs, decorative elements and statuettes depicting deities and offering-bearers, and on a larger scale for the monumental palace reliefs and statuary. This rare example served possibly as a pommel of a dagger or similar item.
Reference: The British Museum
Period: 2nd to 1st century BC
Condition: Very fine. Some inlays missing.

Morning Everyone, Thank you for joining me today. today we are going to talk about 'Failure'. This is a topic most of us look at as something we try to avoid in our own lives as much as possible. Right? Well let's look at it from another view...Let's get started;
Remember the day when you felt like you could do anything? That nothing could touch you! I do, especially when I was young. I was a dare-Devil so to speak! I would do things challenging with no fear of what may happen to me or those around me for that matter. I thought I was untouchable! Ever feel that way? Now when I look back on those days I wonder how I got through some of those situations without a scratch. I know now it was not because of anything I did or could do in my own strength.
Now today, I am older and hopefully I have learned some things along the way. One thing I have learned is that I cannot live life all by myself with no help from anyone or from God. I gave my heart and life to Jesus a long time ago, when I was 26 years old. It has been a fulfilling life that has included failures and victories.
For many, failing in something that is devastating. Perhaps you thought there was no temptation that was to great to overcome. Your future was full of hope and for the first time you knew what it was like to taste the peace of forgiveness and joy. There was nothing to impossible to do.
But it did not last and you find yourself face to face with things that you thought was left behind. That temper, jealousy, pride, etc. has come back. You try your best to overcome it but it seems to prevail.We begin to see more failures and less victories in our daily life. We began to feel a great lack within us.
There is good news! Jesus knew from the beginning we would fail and we would also have victories. God does not beat us down when we fail, we do! Do not let your failures have the final say, but rather, let them become your victories. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen Ephesians 3:20-21
Have a great day
Blessings Dee

ESA Hubble Science Release | 2015 Mar 05
Hubble sees multiple images of a supernova for the very first time
Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have, for the first time, spotted four images of a distant exploding star. The images are arranged in a cross-shaped pattern by the powerful gravity of a foreground galaxy embedded in a massive cluster of galaxies. The supernova discovery paper will appear on 6 March 2015 in a special issue of Science celebrating the centenary of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity.
Whilst looking closely at a massive elliptical galaxy and its associated galaxy cluster MACS J1149+2223 — whose light took over 5 billion years to reach us — astronomers have spotted a strange and rare sight. The huge mass of the galaxy and the cluster is bending the light from a much more distant supernova behind them and creating four separate images of it. The light has been magnified and distorted due to gravitational lensing and as a result the images are arranged around the elliptical galaxy in a formation known as an Einstein cross.
Although astronomers have discovered dozens of multiply imaged galaxies and quasars, they have never before seen multiple images of a stellar explosion. ...
This unique observation will help astronomers refine their estimates of the amount and distribution of dark matter in the lensing galaxy and cluster. There is more dark matter in the Universe than visible matter, but it is extremely elusive and is only known to exist via its gravitational effects on the visible Universe, so the lensing effects of a galaxy or galaxy cluster are a big clue to the amount of dark matter it contains.
When the four supernova images fade away as the explosion dies down, astronomers will have a rare chance to catch a rerun of the explosion. The supernova images do not arrive at the Earth at the same time because, for each image produced, the light takes a different route. Each route has a different layout of matter — both dark and visible — along its path. this causes bends in the road, and so for some routes the light takes longer to reach us than for others. Astronomers can use their model of how much dark matter is in the cluster, and where it is, to predict when the next image will appear as well as using the time delays they observe to make the mass models even more accurate. ...

Urgent Passport Renewal Service
Do you need a new or renewed passport today? You may have a situation where you require a new or renewed passport, but you don't have 6 weeks – or even 7 days – to wait. In this case, you would be eligible to use the Premium 1 Day Service provided by Her Majesty's Passport Office. This service allows you to obtain your new or renewed passport the same day – in as quickly as 4 hours after submitting the application at one of the seven Passport Offices located in the United Kingdom.
If you were to go through the traditional government channel of obtaining a passport, it is likely that you would be required to wait several weeks for it. By working with us, however, we can help you to bypass the wait. We are an independently owned business, and we are not affiliated with any government office.
Need a British Passport within 1 Day?
In order to obtain your passport in one day, you will be required to make an appointment with one of the 7 physical passport office locations that are located throughout the UK. There are seven Passport Offices in the United Kingdom these are in Belfast, Glasgow, Durham, London, Liverpool, Newport and Peterborough.
You need to secure an Appointment at one of these seven offices to use either the Fast Track or Premium Services. If you attend any of these offices without an appointment you will be turned away. We can Book You An Emergency Passport Office Appointment as part of one our packages.
If we are unable to secure you the requested time and date that you require on the first call to the office that you request an appointment at you will still have access to "Queue Jumping" service where by you can login 24hrs a day to view all available appointments that we have for all 7 Passport Offices. Through this tool you will be connected with other applicants who are currently renewing their passport but not travelling urgently and so subject to availability you will be able to move your appointment date closer by exchanging your appointment with another who is not travelling urgently. Urgent Appointment >>
What If I Cant Attend the Appointment?
If you are unable to attend the appointment at the local Passport Office, you would typically need to ask a friend or family member to attend the appointment for you however since January 2014 through our Passport Office Appointment Exemption service you can choose to post your passport application form, old passport, two passport size photographs and any supporting documents to our Head Office where we can lodge the application and send the passport via guaranteed next day delivery once it has been lodged. We provide this service for free as part of our passport package. Need an Urgent Passport? >>>

A visualization project for top 100 science fiction books of 2016.
"Science fiction is a genre of fiction dealing with imaginary but more or less plausible (or at least non-supernatural) content such as future settings, futuristic science and technology, space travel, aliens, and paranormal abilities.
It is similar to, but differs from fantasy in that, within the context of the story, its imaginary elements are largely possible within scientifically established or scientifically postulated laws of nature (though some elements in a story might still be pure imaginative speculation)." - Wikipedia
The scatterplot graphs in the next pages will allow you to visualize the relationships between:
(1) between rankings of sci-fi books and the number of ratings, and

While ICAC has temporarily suspended its inquiry into the soliciting and concealment of political payments, we have a chance to reflect on the systemic implications of what we we've found out. The roll call of resignations, suspensions and those broadly implicated in the last few weeks runs deep – former NSW resources Minister Chris Hartcher, former Federal Assistant Treasurer Arthur Sinodinos, Federal Treasurer Joe Hockey, former NSW Police Minister Mike Gallacher, Central Coast MPs Darren Webber and Chris Spence, and former NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell. It feels like a George RR Martin novel where the body count is extensive, the web of intrigue intricate and there are thousands of pages of plot still to come where the axe will continue to swing. O'Farrell's unexpected beheading certainly signals the unfolding of chaos for the political class in the capital and the rest of the seven kingdoms.
This runs deeper than a few errant pollies and political operators. Rather, the corrupt behaviour of individuals reveals the ongoing corruption of the system. The structural driver of this corruption is that politicians, in both major parties, depend on the support of a small class of rich donors looking to expand their wealth. It means that parliamentarians are more representative for some than the rest of us, and it cuts the political class off from the rest of the population.
Most of the resultant suggestions concerning the reform of political donations have centred on either banning any entity other than individuals from making donations or replacing all private donations with State funding. Neither suggestion would substantially change the behaviour of the political class. This is because neither suggestion alters the structural driver of corrupt behaviour. Banning all corporate, union and membership-based organisation donations has a certain liberal appeal. All it would do, however, is provide for an empty formal equality where the single parent office cleaner is just as free to donate $10,000 to a political camapign as the private hospital entrepeneur. Marc Newman has written further on the futility of restricting political donations to individual persons. Restricting political campaigning to state funding, on the other hand, is just as problematic. What it does is leave the State inherently unchanged but entreches power within the existing political class. If I was a parliamentarian this would be my preferred option because it removes the effective ability of candidates outside a narrow range of power cliques within existing parties from challenging me before I decide to retire to a life of corporate boards and making money off of my relationships.
What we need is a system of political funding that effectively ends corruption by putting power directly in the hands of the people. We need the social funding of elections. The idea is that each year every Australian voter has the ability to donate a set figure, for example $20, to a registered political party or candidate. Political funding is thus equally in the hands of each member of our society, and it is your decision about who to donate to or whether to donate at all. To make this system constituional, anyone would still be free to make political donations (although any donation should be immediately reportable and available for the public to check) but if a candidate or a political party decides to accept a private donation they are no longer eligible to receive social funding for a significant period of time. Further, the decision to rely on private funding or social funding would itself become an issue in any political campaign. Erik Olin Wright outlined this system which he calls a "Democracy Card" in his book Envisioning Real Utiopias including some of the safe guards and accountability mechanisms that would be required for such a system to work.
There are 6 reasons why I think social funding can effectively end systemic political corruption:
- It rebalances power away from a small network of mining and property magnates towards the rest of the population.
- In a very tangible way it means that every voter counts and not just a few thousand people in key marginal seats. Voters in safe seats will matter to political parties because they will be necessary to the ongoing ability to fund effective political campaigns – ignore your voting base and your funding runs dry.
- It builds civil society and associational democracy – the endorsements of organisational leaders will matter for building up a funding base. However, they will be more effective for active organisations with an engaged membership and the structures to incorporate an ongoing discussion amongst the membership. Endorsements from an organisation with a large paper membership where the leadership is cut off from the membership base would be next to useless.
- Social funding would drive conversations with real people – political parties and candidates would have to spend more time having proper conversations with real people, listening to their issues and meaningfully responding to them in order to be able to function.
- It provides a pathway to mass participation and mass membership in political parties again – building the infrastructure necessary to get donations also involves building the infrastructure necessary to ask people to join. In addition, once you've made the decision to donate, why not help out to ensure your favoured candidate gets up? Why not join to attempt to make the party even better?
- Social funding builds in the prospect for democratic renewal – it provides a funding mechanism whereby groups such as Voices for Indi can organise a credible campaign within their own communities. A few dissatisfied community members can gather around a kitchen table to register a political candidate and with their networks get together the seed funding to start a campaign. This works as social funding does not lock in funding based on past political preferences but based on our active and current preferences.
Social funding won't solve all our problems but it should expand the horizons of public discourse so we can at least start talking about how to solve our real problems.

With hair that is naturally a flat brown colour (and maybe 1 or 2 greys if I'm really honest) I have been getting blonde foils put in for quite some time. My hair likes to throw red/orange/yellow and it can be a constant battle to keep the blonde looking vibrant without the brassiness.
A toner straight after colouring works well and does last some time, but after a couple of weeks a silver shampoo can help to get it back to the salon happy shade.
Royal Moroccan is a brand I wasn't previously familiar with and I have recently had the opportunity to test a couple of their products, including the Silver Shampoo. This comes out purple (to counteract the orange) and when massaged into your scalp you get that clean feeling while caring for your blonde (also helps with white and grey hair types).
Yellow tones are are reduced and this helps to moisturise and protect your hair at the same time. For anyone who is facing a constant battle to keep their blonde…blonde – this is one option which will certainly help.

How safe are your skin care products? Take a look at Beautycounter's "Never List," which contains chemicals ("ingredients") that have been linked to some nasty things, such as cancer, infertility, birth defects, asthma, allergies, and neurotoxicity. Some of these chemicals are known carcinogens, endocrine/hormone disruptors, and skin irritants. Beautycounter will never use these ingredients in their products.
Do a quick scavenger hunt: do any of your personal care products contain any of the ingredients on the "Never List"? If so, ask me about a better, healthier option with Beautycounter!
If you had the choice to use non-toxic skin care products with the same high-performing, radiant results, wouldn't you put your health first? You no longer have to compromise your safety for beauty. Choose both! Choose Beautycounter.

My favorite place in Jasper National Park is, no doubt, Maligne Lake and the boat ride to Spirit Island. Although it is only technically an island two weeks out of the year when the water floods the thin patch of land leading to it, it is still world renowned. The island is located on the southern shore of Maligne Lake and is one of the most iconic and most photographed subjects in the Canadian Rockies. I am sure many of you have seen photos of it but didn't know where it was. How did this tiny island get so famous? We can thank Eastman Kodak. As part of a marketing effort, Kodak sent out one of their photographers, Peter Gales, to find remote locations that would help promote the sale of their film. He stumbled upon the island, which was only reachable by boat. His image became part of Kodak's Colorama display (larger than life photos in Grand Central Station). Over the more than 40 years that it hung there, millions upon millions of people viewed the photo.
To photograph it today, you have three choices. First, you can rent a kayak and paddle most of the day just to reach the island. You can either paddle back that night or camp out (with a permit). This is the best way to photograph it during great light. Second, you can take a boat tour that goes for 1.5 hours, but you only get 15 minutes at the island to photograph it before heading back to the boat. Lastly, they offer a photographer's tour that lasts for 2.5 hours, giving you plenty of time to shoot the island. You know which one I was up for. Of course, when I went to book the photographer's tour, I found out that it wasn't offered in June so I had to get as many shots as I could in my allotted 15 minutes.

I was restless and could sleep. I had slept all day so my sleep schedule was all out of wack for the very early morning I had on Sunday.
The roommate was working a night shift and I was starting to film my race vlog. I wasn't nervous about the race persay more the commute to get there. Sunday's were always a gamble on the train and I wasn't sure what I was in for.
I had quite the commute in front of me to head to my old stomping ground of Ealing. On a good weekday that took 2 1/2 hours to get there from my days commuting from Brighton to work at Ealing Studios. But I wasn't going to worry about that. I just make sure all my stuff was out and ready to go. Triple check things like ID, change of clothes and shoes were ready and so on. Made a quick entry for the vlog and headed to bed. Where the alarm for 4:30 rang too soon. But I got up changed into my gear and made the mad dash to Brighton Station. Thinking I would catch a 5:30 train but actually it was 6:13 and I was really early.
Nothing was open and I watched people come in from a night out on Saturday stumbling trying to find a train.
6:13 arrived and I was on my way to London Victoria. This trip I've done thousands of times because of commuting to my current job in soho, so I was in autopilot. After a really chilled uneventful train ride it was the mad dash on the bike to head to Paddington train station. I decided when I got to Brighton station earlier that morning to just go ahead and take the bike all the way to Ealing. Which was good because my feet were in so much pain after. It was a beautiful morning riding past the likes of Buckingham Palace and Wellington Arch. The sun was hitting the white stone giving it that gorgeous orange glow. It was a lovely moment and something I try to do any never take for granted. I always appreciate this small town girl from America never dreamed that 8 years ago she would be living in England nevermind seeing the famous sites everyday
Finally got to Paddington station and decided to leave the bike there in its massive bike parking on the platforms. Then headed on the 8:17 train to Ealing Broadway. Took ages for the train to open their doors and I saw a few other fellow runners getting on the train. Finally we arrive and I see my old haunt. And a walk that I did first on a weekend basis where I would travel every weekend to see my girlfriend and then later wife in the midland. Then on a daily basis when we moved to Brighton. Some things had changed some had not. Of course there was now a 5 Guys which is still so weird to me considering the first one came from my hometown in America but they have been blowing up everywhere in the last two years
I start vlogging again and then look at my watch and I only have 30 min to get to start line. And my memory serves the walk to that park which is behind my old place of work took just that to get there and I still needed to head to bag drop. So I put camera away and started to pick up the pace…the time for reminiscing would have to be after the race. What feels like forever I finally reach the park and I hear music which is a good sign. But bagdrop is way at the end of the park and all the pacers and runners are already walking to the start! So I start sprinting to the bagdrop, luckily no line but I make a last minute decision to ditch the under compression shirt and just wear the charity vest top.
I feel like a fat toad but I keep telling myself I'm going to look back and see how much weight I've lost….but we haven't gotten there yet.
Head camera at the ready and I finally file in with the 02:40:00 pacers and get ready for the start of the race. After about 10 min past 9am I was crossing the start line and the race was on. Now because I don't know or remember the road names like I do in Brighton it won't be the most play by play race account.
But here are all the major things that stood out. It was very twisty windy. Which might have been a good thing because I knew some parts of the course but not all, especially around mile 8-10. When I did the Brighton Marathon in 2016 that's when I hit my wall was when I hit a place I'd never seen before. That being my history what was I going to do on a course where I only knew a few miles of it? But the twists and turns meant I was never board and it never felt like the end was nowhere to be scene. So this time mentally I didn't hit my wall
But a lot more hills than Brighton, but it wasn't awful. I did get tires of people saying one more hill and that's all when clearly that wasn't true. I get why people do that but it's also demoralising too when you go hang on a second? There was food everywhere! The support from all the family's and community. Two places of faith really stood out. There was. Sheik (sp?) temple that we're giving out full bottles of warmer around the 7-8ish mile marker and that was a welcome treat. Then a Christian church handing out orange slices and water too. I was so happy I decided not to pack my camelback because it certainly wasn't needed. Then there were all the kinds with jelly babies and high fives. Being a very slow runner at these events I don't get to partake in a lot of that because people often leave or get bored. Which I completely get, no shame in that. This race they were still there and I had to start trying away treats, but always gave a high five.
When I did pass places from my past I would point them out on the helmet camera and every mile marker I would film running past.
I was doing well and at 500m from finish when I heard the dreaded triple beep of my camera battery! We were almost to the finish and my camera was going to die within viewing distance…I was pissed and then just used my last energy to sprint across the finish line. I always do that because it shows me I paced myself properly. And that was that! Ealing Half Marathon done, dusted, bish bash bosh!
I gathered my things from bagdrop and used my dryrobe to change into my street clothes and get the wet and now cold race gear off. With that I hobbled back into town. This too was new to me because at Brighton events I didn't have to hobble far then a bus would take me home. This was going to be a trek back and even with my lovely oofs sandles on the pain was to much.
But over the foot pain my stomach was like "Feed me!" And I knew just the places. Santa Maria pizza ria…well of course since I was nearly one of the last people to finish all the restaurants were packed with thousands of runners.
So I continued on to the Grove, which worked out since that was an old haunt of mine too. I had the best beef roast and chips and a super posh dessert. After a little mor of a vlog session I caught the bus and it was time to head back to Brighton. I picked up my bike and cycled to Victoria getting trapped in Hyde park at speakers corner (forgot they did that on a Sunday) and some of the shit coming out of these people's mouths! My god. But check it out if you don't know what it is. Finally on the train to Brighton and sleep.
But it was good to get back in the racing game. Especially after my first DNF (did not finish) on my London to Brighton trek. But I also can tell I've gained a lot of weight and the race photos don't lie. But again I'm trying to take it on the chin and get better
This weekend I'm doing my last event for my LDN17 Challenge doing the royal parks half and will write all about that in the coming week. Thanks for checking this out and if you'd like to see the vlog I was mentioning you can check it out here on YouTube

Quiet Friday: Threads of Love
- By Karen
- September 28, 2018
- 18 Comments
Talk about thick and thirsty towels! Double weave makes these hand towels thick. And the linen in the cottolin threads makes them highly absorbent. The colors are fantastic together. When our daughter Melody moves with her little family to Chile, she can set up her new home with these made-for-her towels. My love is woven into every single pick.
I have included two short little videos just for the fun of it. Enjoy!
This project started in my weaving studio in our Houston home, where I beamed the warp.
And then we decided to move! We sold the house and moved into an apartment. The big loom was dismantled, with the towel warp on the back beam. Then, we moved all the pieces to our Texas hill country home.
Recently, I spent a week there to finish dressing the loom and weave all four towels. Whew! (Here's what I did that week: Testing Color Surprises with My Little Helper and Weaving Deadline)
I wove hanging tabs on my band loom. And I discovered that I could showcase both sides of the colorful towel if I stitch the hanging tab on the side of the towel, off center.
The towels are hemmed and pressed, ready to brighten the day!
May you put threads of love into everything you do.

They are gorgeous!
Those towels are gorgeous!!
Beautiful towels and such love went into them. I know your daughter is going to love them as much as she loves you.
WOW…I'm blown away. Same warp. Same fill. Different sequence
.Entirely different results. All beautiful.
Thank you for sharing the progression.
Beautiful! I'm always in awe of your weaving.
Goodness, those are beautiful towels that exude your love in a very joyful way. Thanks for documenting your process so well and sharing your inspire pictures. The placement of the hanging loops does the trick of showing both sides off it a very neat way. So very wonderful.
Just beautiful! When you pin your twill tape marker to the woven piece on the loom, do you unpin the beginning section of tape before it goes rolls around the beam?
Those are absolutely beautiful. You can't help but smile when you look at them.
Can I find directions to this pattern somewhere?

Tools Day: Band Loom Warping Board
- By Karen
- September 11, 2018
- 8 Comments
It is almost effortless to make a short warp for the band loom. All you need is a peg at the beginning and a peg at the end. You can use a spoke of the warp beam wheel, for instance, at one end, and the leg of an upside-down stool at the other. I normally use my warping reel, though, for even a simple warp, because the reel is so handy. However, I don't have my warping reel here at the apartment, so I am turning my band loom into a handy warping board for this band loom project.
How to Use the Band Loom as a Warping Board
Tools and supplies:
- Glimåkra band loom
- Thread for weaving a narrow band
- Basket and/or spool holder(s)
- Scissors
For a warp of approximately two meters:
- Put the warp thread on the floor below—quills in a basket, and/or thread tubes on spool holders.
- Using two or more ends, tie the ends together with an overhand knot. (I used three ends together for this warp.)
- Bring the warp ends up around the warp beam and over the back beam.
- Loop the knot on the starting peg.
- Draw the ends from the starting peg to the ending peg, around the band loom, following this path:
- Starting peg–upper heddle peg nearest back beam
- Lower heddle peg nearest back beam
- Back beam
- Warp beam
- Cloth beam
- Front beam
- Lower heddle peg nearest front beam
- Ending peg–upper heddle peg nearest front beam
- Follow the winding path in reverse order back to the starting peg.
- Continue winding until you have reached the desired number of ends.
- Cut the ends and tie off at the starting peg or the ending peg.
- Tie one or two choke ties, if needed. (I didn't need them for this short warp.)
- Carefully remove the warp and dress the band loom as usual. (For a tutorial on dressing the band loom, click here: Quiet Friday: Band Loom Warping and Weaving.)
- Weave to your heart's content.
May you find tools you didn't know you had.
Happy band weaving,

Love this touch you add to your towels!
Beautiful bands! Hope you're in your new space soon!
Sounds like a move closer to grandkids. The home near San Antonio?
One of the more humbling visuals is someone weaving on a back strap loom. Weaving at its most basic. It is good to find multiple uses for the instruments in our world.
Thank you for the instructions.

Band Loom Time!
- By Karen
- September 7, 2018

Before I can hem these new towels, I need to make some hanging tabs. Band loom time! Making a warp for the band loom is one way to use up some of the weft on quills that didn't quite get emptied when weaving the towels. Of the four colors in the towels, I am using aqua, poppy, and orchid for the hanging tabs. The bright marigold, my favorite of the four colors, may bring too much attention to itself, so I'm leaving it out. A hanging tab must be a stable and firm loop that becomes a pleasing part of the towel.
Established. Stable (root word of e-stabl-ish) and firm. That's how important our faith is as we walk through life. Everything hangs from it. So it must be woven carefully and stitched in securely, a pleasing part of who we are. Stable and firm in faith as we live for the Lord—that's a beautiful way to live.
May your finishing details be pleasing.
With you,

Your towels are beautiful. Love the little bobbin you are using. Do you mind telling me where you got that from? Love all your posts.
Thank you for sharing the design and craft process for finishing the beautiful towels. So true is the need for a firm foundation in life. Nannette

Quiet Friday: Square Dots

It was six weeks ago that I began winding the warp for these towels. The thread for my next Glimåkra Standard project is due to arrive tomorrow. Just like I like it—revolving door weaving. I have no doubt that this set of towels will become family favorites. They are a feast for the eyes, and a tactile delight for the hands. Seeing the color on the reverse side takes my breath away. This whole experience has been the weaving satisfaction that I've come to cherish!
I did face difficulties near the end of the warp. The shed started deteriorating with some of the shafts, but I was determined to finish off the last towel to its full length. That meant coaxing the low profile shuttle through for a few inches. Consequently, I did have more errant floats to repair than usual. But, isn't it wonderful that we can fix just about anything in this weaving adventure?
I made a warp from thread on leftover quills to weave up some hanging tabs on my band loom for three of the towels. And I found a linen piece in my "band stash" that is perfect for the red and white towel.
Enjoy the slideshow that I made for you with details of the process.
May you weave some family favorites.
Happy Weaving,

Oh, these are lovely! Both sides!
Karen, these are beautiful! Your color choices are wonderful.
Does your pattern have a balanced tie-up? I'm ready to try a ten shaft pattern on my ten shaft counterbalance loom, but it would have to be a balanced tie-up in order for me to use the dräll pulleys. Is the pattern readily available? Where would I look?
I enjoy reading your blog posts.
Jenny B
They are just lovely! I look forward to seeing your next project.
That was a great slide show. And yes, the two block satin is such a beautiful weave. And your colors are so nice. Thanks for taking the time to share what you are weaving.
Oh Karen, I love these, my favorite color! Thanks for the slide show, it's fun to see your whole process!!
Such beautiful work AGAIN! You are an inspiration and offer such an open and positive approach to fixing weaving issues. I recently finished an M's and O's table cloth with many floats over the last couple of inches of weaving due to a decreasing shed. Like you I was determined to have the whole length of that cloth. I thought I'd fixed all the floats but keep finding them as I use the cloth. Enjoy your new favorites.
I'm new to weaving and discovered your blog. It has been very helpful. Thank you for all the good information especially your glossary. But what I have found most wonderful are the words of hope and encouragement to trust in our Lord. I really needed that right now. Blessings to you, Karen.

'I know we all look the same': Excruciating moment Tory minister Philip Hammond TWICE confused Labour's Liz Kendall with Rachel Reeves on Question Time
- Defence Secretary blunders on TV declaring: 'I agree with Rachel'
- After being told she was Liz not Rachel, Mr Hammond repeated mistake
- Host David Dimbleby produced a makeshift name badge to prevent repeat
- Labour claims gaffes prove that the Tories have a problem with women
- Comes after all-male Tory line-up at Prime Minister's Questions
- Tory equalities minister says women should try 'sports' like cheerleading
To get someone's name wrong once on national television may be regarded as a misfortune. But twice just seems like carelessness.
Defence Secretary Philip Hammond looked sheepish when he got confused over the identity of a female frontbencher for a second time.
Appearing on the BBC's Question Time with shadow care minister Liz Kendall, he blundered by referring to her using the name of her Labour colleague Rachel Reeves, also a brunette.
Scroll down for video
Spot the difference: Labour's Liz Kendall (left) was visibly shocked on last night's Question at being mistake for her frontbench colleague Rachel Reeves (right)
Stare: Even careful study of Miss Kendall during the programme did not prevent Defence Secretary Philip Hammond from getting her name wrong a second time
Miss Kendall corrected him, retorting 'I know we all look the same'. But five minutes later he made the same mistake again, saying: 'I agree with Rachel.'
At one point, presenter David Dimbleby even produced a makeshift name badge on a piece of paper to try to prevent him getting confused for a third time.
The gaffe was particularly embarrassing given the Conservatives are fighting accusations from Labour that they have a problem with women.
After Mr Hammond made the gaffe again, he ploughed on talking about benefits but in the background host David Dimbleby was preparing a makeshift solution
Mr Dimbleby handed over a name badge he had made in the hope of preventing another embarrassing case of mistaken identity
Labour, which has used controversial all-women shortlists in some seats, has boasted that 40 per cent of its MPs are female, including nearly half of the shadow cabinet.
By contrast, there are still just four women ministers around David Cameron's cabinet table, despite his intention to increase their number.
Miss Kendall, 42, was discussing people who turn to food banks when Mr Hammond tried to interrupt saying: 'But Rachel...'
To applause from the audience in Swindon, Mr Dimbleby said: 'Philip, shall I pin this on to Liz?'
Labour frontbenchers said the name blunder was further evidence of the Tories' problem with women
Barely five minutes later he made the same mistake again, adding: 'I agree with Rachel, there is no future for Britain as a low-wage economy' as Miss Kendall shouted 'Liz...Liz!'
He tried to carry on talking about benefits but in the background Mr Dimbleby was writing 'Liz' on a name badge and handing it to Miss Kendall.

text: Foreign workers form alliance for better treatmentWant permanent status granted to migrant workers upon arrivalBy Amanda Silliker06/20/2011|Canadian HR Reporter|Last Updated: 06/21/2011 Temporary foreign workers, live-in caregivers and seasonal agricultural workers in Ontario are coming together to advocate for better treatment by employers and the government."We want to improve the working and living conditions for all temporary foreign workers in the province and we want to ensure workers are involved," said Carolina Alvarado, co-ordinator of the Migrant Workers Alliance for Change, launched June 1 in Toronto. "The demands come from them, this is what they want — not to be oppressed and marginalized in Canada."The alliance is made up of migrant workers, activists, grassroots community groups, community faith groups and labour organizations. Seventeen Ontario organizations are involved from Toronto, Niagara and Windsor and the alliance is looking to connect to other groups across the province, said Alvarado.As of 2010, there were 283,096 temporary foreign workers across Canada and 99,474 in Ontario, according to Citizenship and Immigration Canada.While there have been individual advocacy groups formed within the sectors, this is the first alliance of its kind in the province, she said."I believe there are other groups in other provinces doing this kind of coalition work but it is the first one in Ontario," said Alvarado. "We already have temporary foreign workers within the restaurant industry and we're looking to connect to workers in construction and hospitality — those are the goals."One of the demands of the alliance is permanent status be granted to migrant workers upon arrival."Most temporary foreign workers have an employer-designated work permit and they can only work for that employer," said Eva Eaton, client services manager at Atkins First, an international recruitment and immigration consulting firm in Calgary. "The permanent residency gives the workers the ability to apply for and work for any employer, same as a Canadian citizen."Being tied to one employer allows employers and recruiters to take advantage of migrant workers, said Alvarado. Senthil Thevar, for example, came to Toronto from India in 2008 to work as a cook but was afraid to complain about his 11- and 12-hour days and unfair wages because his legal status was bound to the employer, she said."When they come here with a work permit that says you can only work for so-and-so, whenever they face any kind of abuse they don't feel comfortable to seek help because employers usually say if they do, they will be sent home," said Alvarado.Offering permanent status to migrant workers upon arrival would benefit employers as well since they wouldn't have to deal with the labour market opinion (LMO) and the work permit process, said Eaton.RELATED ARTICLESNAIT squad wins HRC West competitionFinding talent, engagement top HR trends for 2019CPHR Canada, SHRM sign MRA"It would save the employer time, energy and money but, having said that, there's often a lengthy processing time overseas to get permanent residency (with all the) documentation that is required," she said.And for employers, the appeal of the temporary foreign worker program is the ability to bring people in for a period of time that has a defined end, said Hilary Predy, associate vice-president of business solutions at Adecco in Edmonton."Once that word 'permanent' seeps into the conversation, into the mix, it may not be as appealing," she said.The alliance is also demanding the right to equal access for all social programs, including employment insurance, health care, settlement services, social services and workers' compensation."In terms of employment insurance, they don't get covered — even though they are paying into it, they cannot claim it," said Alvarado. "And settlement services mostly support immigrants, not migrants… there should be some kind of support for migrant workers."Many legitimate employers are looking after these benefits on a private basis, said Predy. For example, many employers in Western Canada in the oil and gas industry employ temporary foreign workers and they have the same rights as all other employees because they are valued in the same way, she said."We have a situation here where we may be dealing with smaller employers, restaurants, individuals bringing people in who may not be aware of what they should be doing for their workers as opposed to a company with an HR department that understands the implications," said Predy. "The right companies will look after people in the right way."The alliance is also seeking the right to full protection under Ontario's Employment Standards Act enjoyed by Canadian citizens and permanent residents."The thing is, even though live-in caregivers are entitled to minimum wage, breaks, holidays, rest periods, these things, in some cases, are not being enforced and we want full enforcement," said Alvarado.To help ensure fair treatment of temporary foreign workers, HR should make sure it is working with a reputable, licensed recruitment agency, said Eaton. Employers should also have policies and business models in place to support these workers, as well as offer transition services to help them navigate the Canadian workforce and provide temporary accommodations if necessary, said Predy."We have heard stories of very good employers that follow the rules, protect workers and ensure they have good conditions," said Alvarado. "For those employers that are doing the work and respecting the law, they should encourage others to do the same."© Copyright Canadian HR Reporter, HAB Press. All rights reserved.

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — The Catholic Church does not have "a product to sell, but a life to communicate: God, his divine life, his merciful love, his holiness," Pope Francis told national directors of the Pontifical Mission Societies.
The mission societies were founded to educate Catholics about the needs of the church in mission lands, to foster their prayers for the missions and to raise money to support them.
"You are well aware of my concern about the risk of your work being reduced to the merely financial aspect of material assistance, turning the societies — despite their Christian inspiration — into agencies like any others," the pope told the national directors June 1.
The best way to fight such a temptation, he said, is to begin a process of renewal based on the conversion of each person involved — those who work for the mission societies and those who support them.
The societies include the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, the Missionary Childhood Association, the Society of St. Peter Apostle and the Missionary Union of Priests and Religious.
Pope Francis noted that he has called for a special "extraordinary missionary month" to be celebrated in October 2019 with the theme, "Baptized and Sent: The Church of Christ on Mission in the World."
The renewal of the mission societies should coincide with preparations for the observance, he said. "Things always must be renewed: Renew one's heart, renew one's works, renew organizations because otherwise they will end up in a museum."
The necessary "missionary conversion of the structures of the church," including of the mission societies, must be based on "personal holiness and spiritual creativity," Pope Francis said. "It is not merely about renewing the old, but about letting the Holy Spirit create newness, making all things new."
Missionary conversion, he said, "means an integral formation that involves our daily lives, our entire life, one in which our minds, hearts and bodies are caught up in love for the Lord Jesus, in a passionate desire to proclaim him and to bear witness to him with apostolic courage in the mission of his church."
Responsibility for the church's missionary activity belongs to every baptized Catholic and that is what the mission societies are called to promote, he said.
"The call to mission is a call rooted in baptism and addressed to all the baptized," he said. "Mission is a 'being sent forth' that brings about conversion both in those who are sent and in those who receive their message."
"In Christ," he added, "our life is itself a mission! We are mission, because we are God's love poured out, God's holiness created in his own image."

What is security compliance?
Topics: network security, Cyber Security, cyberthreats, #protectyourself
Cybersecurity is now a game of attack, no defense. It's said that the best defense is a good offense. This is particularly true in cybersecurity, where the average cost of a security breach in the U.S. is more thatn 200$ per compromised item, according to a 2017 Ponemon Study. Considering how many data items can be at risk in the event of a breach, this could rack up quite a hefty bill. The need for proactive, rather than reactive security hasn't gone unnoticed. Gartner predicts global IT security spending to balloon from $90 billion in 2017, to $113 billion in 2020. Here's how businesses can stay one step ahead in a landscape of constantly evolving threats.
Topics: network security, Cyber Security, anti-virus, cyberthreats, #protectyourself
Security experts around the world agree: 2017 was a terrible year for cybercrimes. WannaCry was shutting down about 2 million computers every hour and many victims who paid the ransom didn't even get access to their computers. These attacks are becoming more common and are targeting your money. It's scary and unfortunately the New Year is likely going to be worse for cybercrime.

Guinea is in West Africa, and generally consists of flat coastal plain, with hilly to mountainous interior. The highest point is Mont Nimba at 1,752 meters. The Niger River and its important tributary the Milo River have their sources in the Guinea Highlands. The climate of Guinea is generally hot and humid. It has a monsoonal-type rainy season (June to November), and a dry season (December to May) with northeasterly harmattan winds. The hot, dry, dusty harmattan haze may reduce visibility during dry season.
Environmental issues in Guinea include deforestation, inadequate potable water, desertification, soil contamination and erosion, overfishing (due to overpopulation in forest region), poor mining practices leading to environmental damage, water pollution, and improper waste disposal. There are 125 protected areas listed for Guinea, including 3 national parks, 1 "not reported", 98 classified forests, 1 faunal reserve, 1 nature reserve, 16 wetlands of international importance, 4 biosphere reserves, and 1 natural world heritage site. In 1997, the Primate Research Institute of Kyoto University launched the Green Corridor Project with the goal of re-establishing a flow of migration between the Bossou chimpanzee community and the neighbouring forests of the Nimba Mountains.
The Guinean national directorate of water and forests (Ministère de l'Environnement, des Eaux et Forêts) is a department of the ministry of the environment, in charge of conservation and sustainable development, as well as hunting, fishing, parks and nature reserves. Synergies & Développement (SYDEV) is a prominent civil society organisation, and member of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) for Guinea. Guinea has a green party on record as "Parti des Ecologistes Guineens".
Biosphere Reserves:
- Monts Nimba, 1980
- Massif du Ziama, 1980
- Badiar, 2002
- Haut Niger, 2002
The interior of Guinea is sparsely populated, and the areas of highest population density are in the west and south. Guinea gained its independence from France in 1958. Since 2010, Guinea is on track towards functional democracy.
Guinea has three sites listed for tentative world heritage, the vernacular architecture and Mandingo cultural landscape of Gberedou / Hamana, the cultural landscape of Nimba mountains, and African slave route at Timbo on the Rio Pongo. In 2015, Guinea was declared free of Ebola transmission by the World Health Organization; however, the 2013 epidemic had significant impact on tourism to Guinea. The World Tourism Organization lists ontguinee.free.fr as the official website of the national tourist office of Guinea.
Tentative World Heritage:
- Architecture vernaculaire et paysage culturel mandingue du Gberedou/Hamana (2001)
- Paysage culturel des monts Nimba (2001)
- Route de l'esclave en Afrique segment de Timbo au Rio Pongo (2001)

Improving Air Quality with Pressure Ventilation
The air inside the building will make you ill. Ventilation replaces it with air and removes warmth air and gases from your room. Positive-pressure ventilation gets a cleaner way to obtain air from outside the building, filters it then lightly distributes it-this air throughout the building. It may be known as 'forced air ventilation. ' The drier air might be drawn to the building outside the building or from in the space above the top. It changes stagnant air that may usually contain pollutants once the outdoors in launched, from the positive-pressure ventilation. The word is utilized once the total amount that is forced out is exceeded, by the method of getting air that's drawn in.
Poor quality of the interior is identified for contributing to critical health concerns including nose throat or eye problems, dried or scratchy skin, fatigue, vertigo, not enough electricity and awareness to aromas. The situation is usually undiagnosed or unusual if the clients are taken from the areas, but reduction simply looks. The sick building problem, while the issue is called, can often be located to be localized in severe circumstances or sector of the building or a particular area, it could be spread through the overall building. A connected condition that appears as being brought on by airborne contaminants when indicators are recognized and recognized is known as `Building Related Infection.
Positive-pressure ventilation techniques could be an economical means to fix equally Ill Building Problem and Building-Related Disease because it depends on the clear incoming air to drive the stagnant, contaminated air from the building through windows and gates. This kind of technique can accommodate budgets and just about all buildings. Ventilation systems' efficiency is determined by numerous facets, that may range from era and the kind of the building, the kind of program and quality and also the environment.
Looking On The Bright Side of Health
Because they frequently contain temperature handles to regulate the conditions of the air before it's dispersed positive-pressure ventilation may also be utilized in heat-recovery. An alternative technique entails utilizing the Air-Handler Product inside the heating and cooling system. The volume of air that's transported through the ventilation channels be determined by the measurement and creation of the duct-work and the dampers are established. The rules are often established from the American Culture of AC Engineers and Heat.
Study: My Understanding of Health
The system's part could be the lover, which can be in several sizes. The dimension chosen may also be determined by the building's size. Additional elements which can be important to the efficiency of the system contain the way securely the build is made from air transportation and how and where the air ports are distributed in the building.
