* While the generator frequency is extremely precise, note tuning accuracy is slightly influenced by acoustic damping from proximity of RESOTUNE to the drum head being measured. This appears as a error less than the tuner resolution with standard spacing above the drum head. This acoustic coupling between RESOTUNE and drumhead is important for the lug clearing function.

What do you do to RELAX?
16 April 2018
Living life at speed, focused on work, running round after family, fitting in exercise etc means that we do everything with elevated stress levels. You might not feel stressed, you might thrive on the 'buzz' or even feel that you have no choice. However your physiological state is highly stimulated and flooded with hormones that are attempting to help you keep going. Unfortunately the down side is that our bodies are only meant to maintain this state for short periods of time. Think of it like a heating system that's running on high water pressure …Read more
Impressed by YOU
12 April 2018
Tracey-Anne started with Fitforlife from basics, there was a level of fear for new exercises and intensity which she has attacked and conquered with style! One example was the use of suspension training equipment. This core centred and balance based equipment requires a high level of focus and control to master, and is very challenging (and can be quite scary!). Anyone who's tried suspension training will testify to that. Every exercise uses multiple muscle groups and is constantly demanding of the core for stability.Read more

With work and family commitments can make it hard to find quality time for yourself. I for one forget my food, skip relaxation time, prioritise on the families appointments and needs and sideline my own and try to squash my workouts in between other things! Sound familiar? Maybe you've been intending to do something for yourself for ages, but just find the time? However if you take a little time to look after yourself you'll perform better in all aspects of your life. Of course we all know it's down to organisation and planning so here's a few ideas to think about, that might just make it possible or easier …Read more

Did the Beast from the East set back your health and fitness goals? It's tough to stay active in cold weather at the best of times, but a thick layer of snow not only puts most of us off exercising outdoors, it also can make it difficult to eat well. I certainly felt like loading up the carbs and hybernating at times over the last few days! So what can we do to make sure we get it right and feel good at the same time during the colder more miserable weather?Read more

Let's see how convenient cleaning be.
I'll explain what its like when you've hired us and we're on the job.
I'll break down the nuts and bolts of what it's like when you are one of our clients and how we're different from any other commercial cleaning company you may have had in the past.
- We have met, we've had the tour and you signed the service agreement.
- At your convenience we will pick up the keys, key cards, fobs or key codes so we access the building on the initial cleaning and we'll be ready to go. Duplicate keys are requested so the cleaner has one and the quality assurance person has one.
- We understand the areas which are sensitive and may be of higher priority. We build those into your service agreement. This becomes part of the checklist of your facility for our cleaners. We utilize our standard checklist of areas and add on your priority areas with detailed notes.
- The tour included your supply room location so we are able restock the hand towels, toilet paper, garbage bags and soap as needed.
- You've showed us the location of your dumpster so we'll empty all the trash.
- On cleaning day you'll meet with a manager and a uniformed cleaner before the cleaning begins. If we clean at night you'll receive a phone call the following day to touch base and see if either of us had comments or questions.
A few things separate us from the competition.
- We emphasize team work, goals, fun, empowerment and leadership.
- You'll receive a survey every month to ensure we are on the same page.
- Surprise visits will be made by our quality assurance team to ensure the highest cleaning standards are being met.
Here is how commercial cleaning can be convenient for you
- Convenient for you because you arranged a self sustaining system which enables your location to appear at its best.
- Reach out to us by phone, email or chat through our website.
- Once we have agreed on cleaning times and how to best clean your facilities then its up to us to wow you after every cleaning.
- We perform quality cleaning checks on a rotating basis to make sure our high standards are maintained. Don't you think its time to upgrade your cleaning team? If it is then head over to our website and click the free quote button.

Apple watch which was launched during the year 2015 will be getting the new design. It is predicted that the Apple watch will have a redesign with a large screen, enhanced battery life, and some health features.
KGI analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said that it is predicted that the Apple Watch Series 4 will get a more trendy form in design and you may not see the rounded square design of the watch anymore as reported by 9to5Mac.
Apple may increase the screen size of the watch by 15 percent which is a major change and it is going to affect the overall chassis. It is available in 38mm and 42 mm flavors for the time being but with the increase in the size of display "Apple Watch Series 4 " will become 44mm and 48mm. Apple may reduce the bezel size and retain the existing chassis dimensions.
The expected enlarged screen will get more internal headroom for adding more components is still unknown. According to Kuo believes, the updated watch model may have an extended on-wrist life and it is possible due to increase in battery capacity. It is going to have enhanced what time equates with a large lithium-ion cell and will sport a large form factor.
Kuo also said that Apple Watch is going to get some health enhancements but he did not give the details about the health enhancements that Apple is going to introduce in its Apple Watch Series 4. Apple Watch may come with a heart rate monitor, accelerometer, barometer and gyroscope which will help in tracking the biometric data and movement.
KGI predicted that Apple may sell about 22-24 million Apple Watch units in the 2018 year. the watch is likely to get launched at September event along with 2018 iPhones.

PhotoNetCast #44 – Photographing Haiti after the quake, with Felix Kunze
Posted in PhotoNetCast Shows on 08-04-2010 | Comment
On the past January 12, Haiti got hit by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake that left 230,000 people dead and over 1 million homeless.
In this episode we have with us Felix Kunze, a London based commercial photographer who decided to visit and document Haiti after the tragedy, and follow the country's steps to recovery.
Working as a volunteer, Felix was no only able to connect with the people and help where help was needed, but also gather a fantastic collection of images that tell stories of tragedy and despair but also hope and cheerfulness.
We also touch on some of the logistics involved in flying to a disaster area with the purpose of documenting it, the required contacts and networking and how to deal with the tragedy and still find joy to shoot.
Our thanks go to Felix for his time and his stories.

Ah, well. Maybe breakfast in bed tomorrow.

Chinese New Year is coming really soon can you believe that? It feels like 2019 just started yesterday where everyone you met say "Happy New Year!" with a bright smile but days gone so fast, don't you think?
Anyway, since I was a kid Chinese New Year is one of awaited moments throughout the year. Well not only because of the angpao (I have to admit that was one of the biggest reason tho, LOL), but also to gather around with my family and have quality time talking about everyone's life. That makes me happy.
To be honest, I didn't grow up in that all chinese traditions kind of family so there's no strict rule that we have to wear red on Chinese New Year or any other rules that I don't know exactly about all of it tho.
There are a lot of traditional history/myths about how people doing this and that for good fortunes but I think the most important thing is to be the better you for this upcoming year. For me, being a "new me" is simply to be a "better me". Like this year, I want to learn to love myself more, to appreciate what I've done, to realize what things that makes me happy and more of that.
As a fashion blogger I recently realize that small thing as to look good or to look present everyday do really makes me happy. Like how I choose an outfit for that day, or what colour of lipstick should I wear, there are so much fun for me. That was the reason I emphasize this for this article, "New Style Fresh Start". I love to play with new style for myself, it's challenging and fun. You know that fashion moves really fast that's why I like it, so why don't you try new style for a fresh start this Chinese New Year? :)
I will share some of my Chinese New Year outfit inspirations with UNIQLO Indonesia that I think are fresh and stylish at the same time. Comfort is also the key in choosing my Chinese New Year outfits, since I'm gonna wear these outfits for hours during my gathering with my family.
In this first look I just want to keep it simple by just wearing this red shirt with polkadot details in it and pair it with this short smart pants in grey. Can you spotted the double pattern? You know how I love to play with pattern on pattern outfit right? :)
top Rayon Printed Long Sleeve Blouse ; pants Smart Check Shorts
For the second look I want keep my personal style in it so I pair this blazer in navy and a line skirt in the same color. I love how chic this look and yet still comfortable for a more formal gathering like family dinner. To keep it casual I wear this low white sneakers as per usual.
blazer Jersey Jacket UV Cut ; skirt Front Button Circular Skirt
The third one is this super relax outfit that I chose. Grey cardigan over the white shirt and pair it with a high waist wide leg pants, can you tell how much I love neutral colors? To keep the Chinese New Year's spirit I put my red lipstick on as the touch color to the outfit. These outfits are definitely the way to go if you're planning to hangout with friends right after your family visitations.
top Extra Fine Cotton Long Sleeve Shirt ; cardigan UV Cut Supima Cotton Crew Neck Cardigan ; pants High Waist Wide Tuck
So which one is your favorite?

So as the title says, I've graduated beyond the alpinist skins I'd been using on some 120 waisted pow skis for the past few years. When I bought skins for these, I went for 140mm, trimmed where necessary and never looked back.
My new touring option is 116 underfoot and near 140 in the tip / 130 in the tail. I was in at my local shop last week and placed an order for some new BD skins, I opted for the MoMix version to see how noticeable mohair is compared to nylon. The shop tech I order from is super knowledgeable and knew the skis I was pairing these with.
Fast forward to today, and I've got my skins home. I didn't realize that his shop opts for the 'custom' line of BD skins, which basically means that they're pre-assembled like G3. You don't need to screw in the nose or tail clasps. However, this is a pain in the ass since these skins also only come in a single width - 125mm.
So unfortunately, I'm faced with using a skin that leaves a good little bit of ptex exposed near the tip, and a small amount near the tail. I took a rough measurement when I was sizing them up and saw that they fully cover the base, edge to edge, for about 3/5ths of the length. At both ends, the skin seems to cover base completely until after the rocker starts, so the ski shouldn't even be contacting snow all that often where it's slightly exposed.
I'm happy with these skins other than the width. I can either return these and try my luck at another store, or stick with what I've got (provided it won't impact my enjoyment). My only experience with buying skins thus far has been with fully covered bases, so I'm wondering if I'm way overthinking it.
Found some stock photo of a skin on a ski, mine would cover a fair bit better than this.

These are the stories of us. These are the anecdotes of our days. This is the good bad and ugly (mostly good) of our not so unique, large (but not as large as some) family, living life to the fullest. Some of us might not have the average number of years generally allotted but we will fill each of those years with the celebration of family, friends and life

"My baby needs so many things!"
"I need so many things for my baby! I need a suction machine, a pink nose thing (an earring, nasal prongs? Not quite sure but it had to be pink), and so many clothes, shoes, socks and diapers. She needs so many things!)"
I asked her about the baby's need for suction and oxygen. I said if her baby needed those things she must have a disability. Yes she agreed that there was a disabling condition at play but what she wasn't sure.
One thing is for sure...these plastic grandbabies of mine are trying to suck me dry of cash!

Here's The Skinny On Website Marketing
Have you thought about Affiliate marketing? Are you the type to make the most of it and learn everything you can to push your business forward? Information regarding web marketing is available in videos, books, magazines, and online. Where should you begin? Try going through these tips to find your starting point.
A great way to participate in link-sharing or advertising in general is to have a professional-looking "Advertise with Us" badge built on your site. Others that are in your position will link your site to theirs and that will help draw in the customers from your site to theirs and vice versa.
Your website tag should contain a simple, clear definition of you and the focus of your site. The tag for your site, at the top of the browser window, is a big factor in how people see your site. Poorly written website tags don't convey the message that you need to send to draw and keep the reader's attention.
Knowing what your competitors are up to is a vital part of web marketing. You will always encounter competitors regardless of your area of concentration.
If you are interested in having a trusted site, write a FAQ. It will help you answer any questions your customers might have more easily and efficiently which solves their problem and increases the level of satisfaction they feel. The more evident it is to your customer that purchasing services or goods from you is to his or her benefit, the more likely the person is to complete a transaction.
You are fully capable of having a successful online marketing business right now. All that is required to be successful is you, not pricey software or get rich quick schemes. Just work hard and imagine what you can achieve when you are marketing yourself.
Be as detailed as you can when you are building a website. Your main focus should be educating your customers quickly so they have an idea what they are buying. Avoid providing useless data and repetitive, bland descriptions. This is a surefire way to bore your customers.
You should implement a system in which your customers can leave feedback via reviews and ratings. Good feedback will help you improve your site and will give your new customers confidence.
Any claim you make about products on your site should always be backed up with proof. It is easy to claim that your product is effective, but without good, solid proof, your audience may not buy it. This helps show that you actually use your own product.
Explore existing research about the psychological and emotional connections that people associate with certain webpages and online marketing communications. These psychological factors may affect the way someone sees your company, based on the design of your site. If you know enough about this behavior pattern, you can use this to your advantage in making your business more successful.
Any advertisement, no matter what it is for, will be improved by using descriptive terms that attract people with the promise of instant gratification. Brag about how quickly your customers can use your site, have products delivered to their front doors and see the amazing results of using your products or services. This may entail features like faster download speed, quick and easy checkouts, or timely order confirmations.
You may even bundle the excess inventory with another similar product and sell the two for a discount. Start your terms clearly in your marketing collateral.
If you have ad space on your website, consider selling the space to a major company. This looks good to your viewers and validates your presence in the market. Customers will respond favorably to businesses they perceive to be associated with well-known, trusted names and brands. Your site will become another resource, rather than just a business listing.
Put some banners on your header, make sure they do not look like a banner. Try to create them to look like links that are click-able if the user wants to see more content. Internet savvy visitors are not inclined to give banners a click, but they may try one that promises to give them something of value.
Talk with other businesses, and discuss the idea of packaging goods you both provide. Try linking a variety of different markets. Doing this will increase overall sales. For example, online booking agents have reduced prices whenever you book airfare, hotels and car rentals within the same transaction. This technique is especially useful for merchants that offer products that complement each other, but you have to remember to use merchants that aren't in direct competition.
The key to a successful Affiliate marketing strategy is to write unique quality content. This is very important to retailers who are in industries that have heavy competition online. It is critical that your website stands out. With your own original descriptions, peppered with choice keywords and manufacturer info, your site can really rise above the rest, even if you are all selling the same products.
Now that you have an idea on where to start crafting your own Internet promotion plan, are you ready to start experimenting? It's now time to apply the concepts you have read in this article to your business. Will you be able to implement these ideas in a practical way? After taking these steps, you can be successful.

In times of crisis, we tend to look for someone to blame and in the case of the current global economic woes, many Americans are pointing the finger at the advertising industry.
According to a nationwide survey of 2,220 U.S. adults between March 31 and April 1, 2009 by Harris Interactive, 66% of respondents believe advertising agencies have at least some responsibility for the current economic crisis. The reason being – because they prompted people to buy things they couldn't afford.
A third of those surveyed believe that advertising agencies have complete or a great deal of responsibility.
56% of Americans of survey respondents say that news and other information websites bear at least some responsibility for the economic crisis.
People aged 55 and older are more likely to blame the advertising agencies and media.
While the blame game is an easy one to play; there's certainly some truth in the accusations. A marketer is a form of psychologist who will often exploit chinks in a consumer's emotional armor with the express purpose of getting people to buy something they may not otherwise have purchased.
When you think about it, like a psychologist, a marketer has a heavy load of responsibility on their shoulders. When we hawk stuff that we know doesn't live up to expectations, it should really prick our consciences and give us pause for thought about possibly dropping some of the client companies we work for.
Like everyone, marketers have to eat; but perhaps in this brave new world more products will reflect the reality of hyperconsumption and provide more of us in the industry who actually care with a wider range of ethical companies offering solid and sustainable goods and services to put in front of consumers.
We might not be the ones directly cranking out the pollution, making the often shoddy non-essential items or devising the nasty contracts that tie consumers to expensive services they don't need – but we certainly form a part of the problem by conveying the lies and deception to the point it's an accepted and encouraged practice.

Latest Highlights
A short history of knitting
Since I've been an enthusiastic knitter for years I was interested in learning something about the origins of this wonderful craft. I hope you enjoy reading what I found out.
Very little is known about when and where people began to knit because knitting is made of organic fibers like wool and silk that decay rapidly. So the oldest archeological finds of knitted clothes in the Middle East originate from early post-Christian times. From the Middle East knitting techniques spread to Spain. The earliest knitted items in Europe were probably made by Muslim knitters that were employed by noble Spanish families.
From Spain knitting spread to the whole of continental Europe during the Middle Ages and by the 12th century it was already an advanced craft. The first knitters' guild was founded in Paris in the 13th century, followed by similar organizations in other European countries. Knitting was mainly a male occupation at this time and only men were admitted to the guilds. The knitters' apprenticeship lasted at least seven years.
It was not until the 15th century that knitting reached Britain. During the next hundred years an active knitting industry developed here. Queen Elizabeth I, who was queen of England from 1558 until 1603, passed a large number of laws and regulations to support and protect this trade. She ordered for example that on Sundays and Holy days every male over the age of six had to wear a woolen cap made in England.
In 1589 William Lee, an English clergyman, invented the first stocking frame knitting machine. He applied for a patent from Queen Elizabeth, but she denied his request because she thought it would ruin the hand knitting industry. Nevertheless the number of knitting machines employed in different parts of the country gradually increased over the next two centuries and hand knitting could no longer compete with these.
Commercial hand-knitting only survived in the coastal areas of England, Scotland and Ireland, but in most parts of Europe and America hand-knitting became more and more a domestic and now predominantly female occupation and especially popular in the 19th century among women of the new urban middle class.
In the 1830's the first women's magazines were published which contained patterns and instructions for knitting and sewing as well as popular literature and recipes. In the Victorian era knitting was used to make all sorts of mainly decorative items. In the first half of the 20th century and especially during the World Wars mainly practical reasons compelled women to knit. In the last third of the century, when the role of women changed considerably, knitting was seen as a stuffy hobby for grannies.
The last ten years have brought a real resurgence of knitting which is no longer considered boring. Today's knitters sometimes use traditional techniques to create real works of art. A special form of knitted art is guerrilla knitting which started in Houston in 2005 and has since spread worldwide. It means that knitters stitch colorful cozies for everything in the streets: trees, bike racks, benches, statues and even cars and buses. The photos above show modest examples of guerrilla knitting in the small town where I live.

Yesterday was a busy day for me, trimming & mowing grass plus smoking my English roast for pulled beef. Early I went to the grocery to get ingredients for my corn pudding. I had seen a recipe somewhere of cheesy corn pudding that also had tomatoes on the top. I did not save it & could not find it so I had to wing it & make my own. I had a yellow squash & some tomatoes from my garden to use in it. I also needed more pellets so stopped by my butchers to get some. He told me the roast I had bought came from the Grand Champion Steer of the Auglaize Co. Fair a week earlier. He had put the pressure on; I would have to do this beef with honor!
I would do this roast like Italian beef, but I didn't follow any recipe. I decided to put some goodies in the center & fold over and tie. I seasoned half with, salt, pepper, oregano, chopped Vidalia onions, 4 cloves of garlic, & pepperoncinni peppers, folded & tied. Seasoned the outside w/salt, pepper, & oregano. I got it on my smoker, direct on the grates, at 10:30 on the smoke mode, 170-180 deg. I started my mowing grass. I did it on smoke for 3 hrs then went to 225 deg. In 4 hrs it was 165 deg IT, time to place in a roaster & foil pan. To the roaster pan I added thick sliced onions to place the roast on, a green pepper & a yellow banana pepper around the roast. I added 2 tsp. of better than beef bullion & a quart of beef stock, covered pan w/foil & went to 250 deg. I kept edging up the temp setting to 300 deg near the end. At 5:00 it was up to 200 deg so I pulled it, foiled & into a 180 deg preheated oven to rest. Total cook time was 6 ½ hrs.
I pulled the beef & munched on the rib bones, sure was good. I had done the Grand Champion honor! It had good bark, some smoke ring, & was tender.
I then proceeded to sauté the yellow squash & onions, added to a casserole, mixed up the corn & cheese, added over the squash, then sliced some tomatoes to cover the top. I got this on the smoker at 325 deg. along w/some baby yellow potatoes at 5:50.
The corn & potatoes were done at 6:50. I served the beef on an onion, poppy seed ciabata, bun along w/some Au Jus, onions & peppers over top of the beef. My corn, & a smashed potato, w/butter on the side. I dipped my top half of the bun in the Au Jus for a tasty sandwich.

There are not many blogs out there dedicated to cooking on a pellet smoker. I have been cooking, grilling & smoking over 35 yrs now. I recently bought a Traeger Lil Tex Elite pellet smoker & have cooked on it over six yrs. now. I would like to share recipes & info I have gained from cooking on it. Update 2014: I have plenty of recipes here for the pellet smoker so I am now including other outdoor cooking and some of my indoor cooking too.

Earlier this month, a local nightclub turned their weekly "Wet and Wild" contest into an incredible fundraising opportunity. All of the money bid on contestants that night was donated to help the victims of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. I was ready and eager to make a contribution myself until I pulled out my wallet and realized... I'm broke.
Okay, so that wasn't actually a new realization. I lost my job two months ago, and am still searching high and low for a new one. I'm also a full-time student whose financial aid has yet to disburse, and already have about four years of student debt on my tail. I've been paying for my groceries for weeks with gift cards I earned doing surveys online in between homework and filling out job applications. Even that same night my boyfriend offered to pay my cover charge for the club because he knew I wouldn't be able to afford it.
But despite all that, I still know with a heavy heart that many of those who were affected by any of the current disasters that have struck our world - whether it be a hurricane, a fire, or a shooting - were in a way worse position than I was. So, how could I help? I wasn't really sure at first, which is why I went home and compiled this list of 8 ways you can help those in need without emptying your pockets.
1.) Give what you DO have.
I may not have ample amounts of cash to hand over to disaster victims. But, you know what I do have? A large bag full of old clothes I've been meaning to take to the thrift store. A box of non-perishable pasta mix that I forgot to read the allergy label on before I bought it. An extra towel in the bathroom cupboard, right beside that unopened box of tampons I'll likely never need again. Some garbage bags that were too small to fit our kitchen trashcan. All of these items were on the list provided by United Puerto Rico of material donations needed by victims of the Puerto Rico hurricane. There were also plenty of other common, household items on the list too including diapers, dish soap, extension cords, and pillows. In Oregon, they are also currently seeking donations for supplies to help rebuild the homes and communities lost to the Grant County wildfire. Some items on the wishlist organized by Fairgrounds Relief Center include hoses, hand tools, shovels, axes, power tools, generators, hammers, and light bulbs. If you've got an extra something lying around, consider donating what you have to disaster victims who can't currently get a hold of these items.
2.) Donate blood.
Whether there was a natural disaster or an act of violence, acts of devastation often leave many people injured without enough resources to help everyone. Following the recent terrorist attack in Las Vegas, for example, over 500 people are reported to be in need of medical attention. If you are close enough to the Las Vegas area and meet the necessary criteria, you can donate your blood to those in need. Bloodworks, a popular blood bank with locations throughout the Northwest, currently has twelve offices open Tuesday - Sunday for those who can donate blood to the Las Vegas victims. If you are able to donate, you can sign up for an appointment at the office nearest you via the Bloodworks website, or by calling 1-800-398-7888.
3.) Watch out for their furry friends.
Are you an animal lover? Have room for a few extra paws at your place? Consider fostering animals whose families are struggling after a tragedy. Shelters in Texas are overflowing with thousands of pets who were not allowed in hotels, had to be left behind, or somehow got out during Hurricane Harvey. The SPCA of Texas and Austin Pets Alive are both seeking foster homes for all these new arrivals. According to Austin Pets Alive, the amount of dogs currently in their care have tripled! If some belly scratches and a few park dates with Fido sound right up your alley, check out the websites above for information on how you can get involved in fostering pets affected by Harvey.
4.) Use your time.
Not everyone lives close enough to physically help out after an area has been struck by tragedy. But, if you do, one of the best ways to lend a hand is to literally lend a hand. Especially if you have a certain skill that can be useful in times of need. In Mexico City, for example, there is currently a demand for volunteers with experience in architecture and medical care after the recent earthquake. Even if you aren't nearby after disasters strike, do a search for any groups or events in your area that are dedicated to providing assistance. Schools, churches, and community centers are great places to start. They may need volunteers for an already planned fundraiser, or even just an extra word-of-mouth. If all else fails, try organizing something on your own! Even if you don't have the funds to donate yourself, your friends, family, or community may be willing to pitch in if you get the ball rolling.
5.) Give up your airline miles.
Are you a frequent flier? If so, you may be able to donate some of the miles you have racked up. There are many disaster victims who cannot afford to leave these areas to get to a safer place. Delta, United, American Airlines, Southwest, and other major airlines have programs set up where members can donate existing miles via a charity program, who will then in turn give those miles to those in need. Some of these programs do have a mile-minimum, so be sure to check with your airline loyalty program to see if you are eligible to help.
6.) Open up your doors...
If you have an extra bed, you may be able to offer the space up to someone in need. The companies AirBNB and HipCamp are working with those in certain areas to provide free, temporary housing to those in disaster zones. If you are in certain areas of Florida, Alabama, Texas, or the Carolinas, you can list your home on AirBNB for free to those left without shelter from the hurricanes. If you are in California in the areas of Berkeley, Oakland, San Francisco, Marin, Mendocino, or North Alameda, the AirBNB option is also available to help those who cannot return home following the fires in Sonoma, Napa, and Mendocino counties. Also in California, you can get in contact with the staff at HipCamp and let them know if you are able to host those in need of a place to stay.
7.) ... And your Wi-Fi Connections
Emergency services in Mexico City are asking people near the areas affected by the earthquake to make their private wi-fi connections public. Why? The Internet is one of the strongest means of communication that we have today. An open access point to the Internet could help people find their missing loved ones, shelter, transportation, or access to emergency services if needed. A similar request was made last year following the devastating earthquake in Italy, after locals realized phone lines were down yet many still had ways to access the Internet if given an open wi-fi connection nearby. Check out this article to see how to open up your networks safely, so your good deed does not get taken advantage of by the wrong crowd.
8.) Share, share, share!
If you're reading this, I'm going to have to assume you've got access to the Internet in some form. Believe it or not, your presence on social media can actually be extremely helpful following a tragedy. After the terrorist attack at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester earlier this year, this Twitter thread with information on those who went missing was re-tweeted almost 60,000 times. That's close to 60,000 people seeing and sharing this information so others knew who to keep an eye out for! Following any tragedy, I try to share any and all information I come across: whether it be links to fundraisers, phone numbers for victims and families to call, pictures of those missing, individual stories of victims, or anything else that helps get important information out there. One extra click could make a huge difference. To get you started, I've listed some links below to various fundraisers, organizations, and donation sites for many of the areas that have recently witnessed tragedy. Obviously, there are more out there, so if you know of any others let me know in the comments or send me a tweet!

The public water company for the western Costa, Acosol, has put into motion, for the third consecutive year, a boat service in order to control the quality of coastal waters during the summer months.
The measure includes 13 boats, with three in reserve, that will collect debris floating near the surface daily from Torremolinos to Manilva.
The cost of the service, which started on 1 June, is around half a million euros, and is paid for by Acosol. It will consist of four large boats (called Pelicans) that each cover a stretch of up to three miles, with capacity to carry large amounts of waste. They will be accompanied by nine other much smaller beach boats (Gavinas), which will collect floating and/or semi-submerged solids. These are much smaller and can therefore move closer to the shore if necessary.
The Gavinas will put the collected material in the Pelicans which will then take it to the port. These big boats will be placed in four ports: Benalmádena, which covers Torremolinos too; Fuengirola, which also covers Mijas; Marbella; and Estepona which will cover Manilva and Casares.
The main purpose of the fleet is to prevent pollution in busy leisure areas and to collect floating objects, dirt, and other residues in open waters up to six miles out to sea.
The service will last more than three months, until 15 September, and will run everyday.
"The quality of our water is the best; we guarantee the safety of bathers and that of the tourism sector," said Acosol spokesperson, Manuel Cardeña.

ParaSport TV is a full service independent production company, and a global leader in ParaSport live streaming coverage!
Welcome to Blind Hockey Night in Port Credit! Tonight's game features the Blind Hockey All-Stars vs Team Rudy Cuzzetto! All funds raised will go to support Canadian Blind Hockey and the MHL's Play More Program! Tune into all the action at www.ParaSport.TV
An online platform bringing ParaSport games to the global stage
We broadcast your ParaSport event live for the world to watch
To become the world leader in broadcasting ParaSport coverage
My name is Nicco Cardarelli, and I am the owner and founder of ParaSport TV; a network that was essentially created in less than 72 hours...although the idea for an adaptive sports network was something I had been toying with for a long while prior.
After working with Canadian Blind Hockey since 2013, I noticed a need for a platform that was capable of live streaming various para sport events online to a global audience...a 2012 study revealed that nearly one-third of working-aged Canadian's live with a disability, and those numbers have only continued to grow...considering that over 3-million Canadian are legally disabled, to me it seemed long overdue that there be a sports network that showcased the disabled community's incredible athletic achievements and abilities.
So fast-forward to late January 2019...I was hanging out with a buddy in his garage, and I was telling him about my idea for the adaptive sports network...we were brainstorming ideas and discussing other aspects of ParaSport TV, when my friend suggested I check to see if the domain ParaSport.TV was available...sure enough it was, and I felt like that was my sign to make this happen. Right there in his garage I bought the domain www.ParaSport.TV and within 72 hours from then I created a logo, I designed and built the website, created the social accounts, and put the wheels in motion to launch the first ever parasport focused sports channel in Canada.
Since our inception, ParaSport TV has worked with clients like the 2019 Ontario ParaSport Games Durham, the 2019 Canadian Junior National Goalball Championships, the Ontario Blind Sports Association, the Ontario Sledge Hockey Association, the Canadian Blind Hockey Association, the Toronto Ice Owls, and others.

Presented at OVADA by the Contemporary Arts Research Unit (CARU) based at Oxford Brookes University, Body and Music is an evening of dance and music where pianist Késia Decoté will be joined by dancer and choreographer Joëlle Pappas, musician and composer Bruno Guastalla and composer Sarah Westwood to bring you pieces inspired by puppetry, myths, visions, and cable cars.
The evening opens with a new trio piece especially devised for this show, with Késia, Joëlle and Bruno. Késia will also be performing myths & visions (this will be the last chance to see this much loved solo piano + dance show in central Oxford). The programme also includes Joëlle and Bruno's Traits, commissioned for this year's Dancin' Oxford Festival, and a new work for piano and electronics by Sarah. See full details of the programme below.
This show is promoted by CARU | Contemporary Arts ReSearch Unit and OCM, with support by SARU.
Performance: Friday 8th June 7pm (doors, 7:30 performance)
Venue: OVADA, The Warehouse, 14A Osney Lane, Oxford, OX1 1NJ
Tickets: £10 at Eventbrite or on the door
Programme details:
'Tout organisme est une mélodie qui se chante elle-même.' (Maurice Merleau-Ponty)
Working together on this piece, the 'places' of the title are not set positions: we inhabit the same space for a while, a space which is resonant and elastic.
Piano: Késia Decoté
Dancer and Choreographer: Joëlle Pappas
Music and Soundscape: Bruno Guastalla
Cable Veins 2016
for piano + electronics
Composer and performer: Sarah Westwood
Cable Veins was conceived after two moments: 1) watching a dancer/non-pianist playing across a piano before one of our rehearsals at Centre National de la Danse, and 2) whilst taking a cable car ride. What struck me in both instances was the amount of movement seen verses the sounds heard; both the dancer and the whirring cogs of the machine making sound yet producing a more intricate movement. This was a quality I wanted to investigate, to create a 'pianistic cog' gesture, which in turn would create the sound. All in a meditative state.
Dancer and Choreographer: Joëlle Pappas
Music and Soundscape: Bruno Guastalla
Dramaturgy adviser: Miranda Laurence
Traits explores the attitudes and behaviour of a complex character fervently looking for a sense of coherent identity. It draws inspiration from puppetry traditions from around the world. This piece was commissioned by Dancin'Oxford and the Pegasus Theatre for Moving With The Times, 2018.
Myths and Visions
Part I: Myths
Henry Cowell – The voice of Lir, for piano [tone clusters] (1920)
Aeolian Harp, for piano strings (1923)
The Banshee, for piano strings (1925)
John Cage – Bacchanale, for prepared piano (1940)
Part II: Visions
Sara Carvalho – inside silence, for prepared piano and toy piano (2012)
Marisa Rezende – Miragem [Mirage], for piano and mallets (2009)
John Cage – A flower, for voice and closed piano (1950)
Performer: Késia Decoté
Movement director: Joëlle Pappas
Myths and Visions was originally conceived as part of Késia Decoté's doctoral research at Oxford Brookes University. It combines piano performance with dance, offering an alternate experience of a classical music recital.
'Késia Decoté takes bold risks both with her choice of repertoire and by challenging the conventions of piano performance, and she emerges triumphant.'
– Colin May, music writer (Nightshift, Oxford Times)

Co-chair of the ISA95 committee on enterprise-to-control system integration, Monchinski will be part of leadership team that governs the development and publication of standards for the automation industry
NEPTUNE, NJ – September 26, 2017 – Automated Control Concepts, Inc. is proud to announce that Christian Monchinski, the automation integrator's Vice President of Manufacturing Intelligence, has been elected Vice President of the International Society of Automation (ISA) Standards and Practices Board. The Board governs committees whose members develop, publish, and promote the standards that apply to industrial automation around the world. The ISA organization provides training, resources, and standards guidelines for major corporations and individuals in the automation space globally, and its members include engineers, educators, technicians, and students.
"Chris's election to a leadership role within the ISA reflects his dedication to our industry," says ACC CEO Michael Blechman. "He has been a member of the ISA since 1993 and began participating on committees in the late 1990s. In fact, Chris currently co-chairs the ISA95 committee on enterprise-to-control system integration. His interest and commitment to the ISA parallels ACC's long-term connection to the Society, as well. As Chris will tell you, alongside many volunteers working tirelessly on standards committees, ACC has been instrumental in developing industry standards for decades. In fact, ACC's Arlene Weichert – now our Executive Vice President of Sales – was a member of the ISA95 committee before passing ACC's ISA membership torch to Chris."
As the Vice President-Elect, Monchinski will mentor under the ISA Standards and Practices Board's Vice President, Maurice Wilkins, as is the ISA's custom, until 2019 at which time he will assume the vice-presidency for a two-year term. In his new role, Monchinski sees his responsibility as one of continuing on the current path of fostering new standards as technologies evolve, and also of reinvigorating existing committees and nurturing new committees and their work. "Technology moves at a very fast rate and the industry needs help keeping up, but the standards body moves more carefully and slowly to propose standards and promote them," Monchinski says. "There is room to ease some of the industry's frustrations. New concepts are also getting more attention. Smart manufacturing is gaining a lot of traction in our industry. The ISA is in a position to be that voice that adds value to the industry beyond the buzz. We have many dedicated, and primarily volunteer, committee members investing time and expertise to develop standards that are relevant to the industry today and will remain so as technologies advance. As we often say, without standards, what decisions do we make? Where's the value? What are our best practices? How do we reduce risks? Without our deliberate development of standards, we would not be able to answer any of those questions."
Monchinski's new role as VP-Elect of the ISA Standards and Practices Board and his existing position as VP of Manufacturing Intelligence with ACC integrate well and support Monchinski's contributions to each organization. "ACC uses manufacturing intelligence – information technology and information-based systems in the manufacturing space to create greater visualization and control on the plant floor. Manufacturing intelligence drives accountability, safety, and efficiency. It has a far-reaching positive impact on manufacturing. Essentially, we help companies model their business objectives, and solve their business problems, by applying technology to integrate their existing systems. We may add components like new software, for example, to give them more and better information so they can make better decisions, optimize productivity, and reduce errors and downtime."
ACC's Smart Performance Initiative
ACC, a recognized systems integrator, has announced a new initiative called "Smart Performance" that enables customers to extract more information from their plant floor in order to determine a benchmark to measure performance. "Customers often don't know exactly what they should measure, or at what cost," explains Monchinski. "ACC's goal with Smart Performance is not to overdo or implement systems that don't meet the customer's needs. It does no good to over-address a need. With Smart Performance we don't talk about products, we talk about the customer's business and how to tap the data already available to inform business and operations decisions that drive results like continuous improvement."

Greening our campus
Despite the proximity of Weston Park, the campus itself has limited green space and relatively few trees. As part of our Masterplan, we will make the campus as green as possible, creating a strong overall identity for the University Quarter and adding to Sheffield's reputation as England's greenest city.
We aim to retain as many of our existing trees as we can, as well as planting additional semi-mature new trees and shrubs throughout the campus, particularly along the new walking/cycling spine.
Where possible, we will plant large scale trees, suitable for an urban context, to reflect the wider Peak District landscape around the west of the city.
We intend to improve the biodiversity of the campus as a whole through the greening of many areas and by encouraging wildlife into the campus wherever possible.

Position Title
TAC Coordinator
My name is Sarah Silverman, and I am a forth year PhD student in the Department of Entomology. I study insect demography and aging, and I am very interested in how the process of aging works in the wild. I am also interested in the maximum lifespan for insects in the wild (for some flies, it may be several hundred days!). One thing I would like people to know about entomologists is: we don't necessarily know how to get rid of the ants in your house!
Here at UC Davis, I have TAed Longevity (a demography course) and Terrorism and War (an online course offered through the department of Science and Society). Through teaching these large classes I have had the privilege of meeting and teaching a wide variety of motivated students, and they have inspired me to ask, "How can we make classrooms student-centered, even in very large classes." My own teaching interests include hybrid and online instruction in the sciences, teaching science and math topics to no non-science majors, and creating a student-centered environment in the lecture hall. I am also always working to be an effective educator outside the classroom as well (in office hours, in written and verbal feedback to students, and over email).
This is my second year in the TAC program, and I am excited to grow as a workshop facilitator, a peer consultant, and as an instructor more broadly. I am especially looking forward to welcoming another cohort of new TAs at TA orientation this fall. I feel so privileged to facilitate one of the first program that many new graduate students attend at UC Davis!
Some things I love to do are: wake up early and drink coffee with my cat, listen to audiobooks while walking, and go on road trips with my partner.

Mostly I'll talk about the Senate's move today, so we'll dive right in with the following;
- "Curiouser and curiouser" – The debate on health care goes forward.
- John Boehner (remember him?) says "Get use to Obamacare because it has become an entitlement and entitlements never go away."
- To add to the Alice-like day Trump praises Yellen "I think she's done a good job."
- and I conclude with a quote from Walter Cronkite and YOU ARE THERE.

December 17, 2014 — Viztek announced the introduction of its new U-Arm DR and Overhead Tube Crane (OTC) systems. Unveiled at RSNA 2014, the two new additions further expand the company's growing DR product line. With a focus on helping radiology departments work smarter, both systems were designed to maximize ease-of-use and versatility.
Designed with the technologist in mind, the Viztek U-Arm enables exams to be completed quickly and accurately. Advanced features enable the overall exam time to be shortened, while simultaneously helping assure that the time with the patient is more focused and productive. Specific features include the following:
· New Interface. The sleek new U-Arm DR system builds on the company's state-of-the-art functionality for quality digital imaging and is equipped with a user-friendlier interface allowing technologists to learn utilization quickly.
· Added viewing and control. Going beyond providing strictly control room capabilities, Viztek's system enables patient-side viewing and control as well.
· Unlimited pre-programming. The U-Arm DR can have an unlimited number of positions pre-programmed into the system, ensuring that technicians are always prepared and spend minimal time re-positioning for each patient X-ray.
· Low dose software. Along with advanced stitching capabilities, the available software paired with the U-Arm DR offers a pediatric imaging package allowing facilities to effectively reduce radiation exposure to children.
Overhead Tube Crane (OTC)
The OTC combines the benefits of Viztek's existing chest and table systems into one unit for those facilities that are seeking a complete room replacement. Also beneficial to the technologists, the system's features provide versatility and ease-of-use to enable faster processes. Key features include:
· Remote control. The OTC system delivers enhanced usability and speed, supported by its new remote control capabilities, which offer unlimited APR and pre-sets.
· Dual movement modes. The versatile system offers the convenience of both manual and automatic options for movement mode and can take on unlimited pre-programming to ensure that the most ideal, accurate positioning for any given patient during X-ray is available at a moment's notice.
· Advanced software. Paired with the Ultra DR software, Viztek's OTC delivers improved workflow by enabling smarter navigation of the system with very few necessary clicks, while overall efficiency benefits from the upgraded stitching functions.
Both the U-Arm DR and the Viztek OTC system can be paired with Viztek's pediatric imaging software package to support low dose imaging initiatives.

Call me a degenerate if you must, but I have always had a love for gambling. I'm not much for poker, blackjack, or any other casino games for that matter, but sports, particularly the ponies, have always held a real fascination for me. My love of horse racing came early on. The sports section in the Scottish newspapers list all the races for that day, accompanied by a whole host of numbers, previous stats that looked like a code just waiting to be cracked. Math always came easy to me, so these numbers seemed like a challenge that was right up my alley. I would pore over these digits, make my picks, then watch for the results. Turns out I developed a knack for it. Too bad I was only 12 years old and betting shops were a no-go zone for impressionable little poppets like myself. Cue my dad who recognized my "studying" and let me make out a betting slip every Saturday. My choice was a yankee, which was choosing 4 horses from all the races that day and watching as the winnings accumulated with each win (doubles, trebles etc). The winnings weren't much for a 10 pence stake, but it was fun nonetheless.
My love affair with the ponies cooled over time, but was re-ignited when I moved to Calgary, Canada, a city that had live horse racing every spring. My mom and I would go every second Friday, and it was back on again. I started my own website, posting my selections and ended up with a pretty large following. I made money for a lot of those followers, but every time I played seemed to coincide with a losing streak (I am not the luckiest person in the world). The inability to actually bet here in Georgia, once again waned my interest, but, thanks to those usually annoying facebook ads, I found a couple of alternatives that would let me get my daily betting groove on and not cost me a penny in the process. Both sites offer free money to play with (only 10 cents to start), but you can rack it up pretty quickly, plus they give you another 10 cents to play if you lose. All great fun, and the perfect tonic for the casual gambler who would like to keep their shirt. You can check out both sites here...Centsports and FreeSportsBet ......I have also set up a blog, posting my selections most every day, check it out here ......I had a solid month in May, but I am in the crapper this month. Just figured that letting other people know might just turn my luck around.
