When you're running a business, it's likely that you will incur costs that you can claim tax relief on by reducing your taxable profit. But when you're recording these expenses, do you have to keep paper copies of all your receipts, or will HMRC accept scanned copies?
The good news is that in most cases, HMRC will indeed accept scanned copies! However, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind.
The exception to the rule
Naturally there has to be an exception, and that is when you receive documents that show tax that isn't VAT – for example, bank interest certificates, or dividend vouchers. These documents have to be kept in their original form – so that means that if you receive these in paper format, you'll need to retain that paper.
If, however, you receive these documents in an electronic form (for example, you're emailed a .pdf dividend voucher by a company in which you own shares), you can keep that .pdf file – you just can't change it to another format, like an image.
Don't forget the back of the receipt!
Also, when you're scanning your documents, if you receive a document that has information on the back as well (such as a bill with terms and conditions on the back), then you have to scan both sides.
Managing your scanned receipts
To scan your receipts, consider investing in a scanner such as Doxie, which is small, can work wirelessly, and produces manageably small file sizes. Alternatively, you could even send your receipts to a service like Receipt Bank and let them do the scanning for you.
To make it easy to find your receipts later on, set up a structured folder layout that will be easy to keep up-to-date. For example, if you don't have many receipts in a year, you might create a subfolder for each supplier to save your receipts into. If, however, you need to store a lot of receipts, you might find it easier to create a folder for each year, then subfolders for months, then save receipts into subfolders by supplier.
Use a backup service
HMRC require you to retain your records for a number of years (Limited Company requirements are here, and self employed requirements here), so when you scan receipts, you should be confident that they're backed up securely. You can use a service like Depositit to back up those folders online daily.
You don't have to scan – take a picture instead!
Finally, don't forget that managing your receipts doesn't have to be about sitting at a desk and scanning pieces of paper – you could also snap a photo of that receipt on your smartphone as soon as you spend the money and then upload it into your accounts later.
And if you're using a cloud accounting system, check whether it is mobile-optimised. If so, you maybe able to just attach the receipt image to your expense entry while you're on the go, which will save you even more time.

So about two weeks ago it was Mr Ivriniel's birthday and we went camping. Accordingly he turned off his phone.
When we got back, he was treated to a series of whining text messages from ABiL:
Why don't you ever answer your phone?
Niece was so disappointed when you didn't answer the phone so she could wish you happy birthday.
Answer your phone. We have a present for you.
And so on.
For the record, niece is three. She doesn't understand the flow of time, and if she was upset, it is because the built up this phone call with her. Otherwise she wouldn't have known it was his birthday. Also ABiL knew we were going camping.
There were several of these. Finally after another nagging text, Mr I called ABiL's cellphone immediately.
The phone is answered by ASiL. ABiL is unavailable, so she starts talking. She goes on about how hard her life as a stay at home mom is, and then starts talking about how she quit her job because it was "Too stressful to work a four hour shift."
Yes. She said working a four hour shift a couple of times a week was too stressful for her to handle. How did this woman make it into her 40's?
Mr. I never got to speak to ABiL. He did get to speak to niece, who called him Babcia (Polish for grandmother.)

The discreet solution for straighter teeth
Invisalign® brings a new level of discretion to teeth straightening by using almost invisible braces.
When concerns about the visibility of braces put people off treatment for misaligned teeth, Invisalign® offers a perfect solution. For self-conscious teenagers or professionals worried about their appearance at work Invisalign® uses transparent, removable aligners to gently but effectively move teeth into place. No wires and no brackets.
For anyone who is unhappy with the appearance of their teeth but unsure of wearing braces, Invisalign® promises a fuss-free transformation that will restore self-esteem and leave you with a fantastic smile.
The procedure
The success of Invisalign® is down to the tailor-made treatment where an impression of the patient's teeth is used to create transparent aligners that fit over the teeth perfectly.
A pain-free and convenient way to straighten teeth, the aligners are replaced by your dentist every four-six week intervals to consistently move the teeth into a new position over a period of under 12 months.
The Invisalign® design makes them largely unnoticeable while the close fit minimises any discomfort and delivers excellent results.
please have commented.. are they veneers? It helps my confidence when I'm getting lots of compliments.
Sunny, Invisalign patient

On Mauke, when they installed solar power last year, everyone was excited. People bought extra freezers to run; they thought it would mean they wouldn't have to pay for power, or it would at least be cheaper.
The solar plant officially opened this year.
But resident June Hosking says they're still paying for power on Mauke, and and sometimes have to resort to using diesel-run generators, which can be polluting and noisy and not always very efficient.
"The government is aware that the solar batteries only have a 10-year life," says Hosking.
The project for Mauke's solar grid mounted to millions of dollars to start up, but the government also needs to allocate a budget for battery replacement and disposal. "We are not there yet," says Hosking.
There are no magic answers to renewable energy; just as there's no such thing as a free lunch, there's no such thing as free power. So what is the Cook Islands doing to progress towards its vision as a Pacific Island fully-powered through renewable energy sources?
Up until 2010 fossil fuels like diesel were the sole source of energy for electricity on the islands, and then the Government announced its renewable energy vision.
Te Aponga Uira chief executive officer Apii Timoti says they embarked on a number of studies that involved assessing the renewable energy potential of the country followed by a number of engineering and economic studies to understand their impact.
A number of strategies were developed including direct connection of solar generators to the power grid, installation of batteries as short term storage to promote energy efficiency and to boost the power grid.
"Solar is the main energy source for us mainly because of the ease of accessing it. Other potential energy sources were investigated and this included wind, waste, tidal and hydro. I think eventually a combination of all of these will be our renewable energy future."
Timoti says there will be plenty of benefits, the obvious one being our energy independence.
"We will no longer be subjected to the global fluctuations in the costs of diesel," says Timoti. "There is of course the climate impact, reduction in diesel usage means reduction in CO2 emissions. There is also a new industry, renewable energy, that is emerging. Some people are earning money from their solar systems."
Most of the outer islands run completely on solar power now but it isn't as glamourous as it seems.
June Hosking knew from her experience with living off the grid that the balancing of power usage on Mauke's solar panels would have to be done carefully.
"From too many people putting the jug on in the morning to no one using enough power at night to cycle the charge, so much could go wrong," says Hosking.
When the solar power system was first introduced, it didn't include Hosking's house which is on the south side, a fair distance from the township and residential area.
Hosking already had her own solar panels and batteries but it wasn't exactly easy to manage.
She had a freezer running in her home that would drain the batteries too low and they would take longer to charge and they would have to use a generator to top the batteries up.
So Hosking stopped using the freezer and decided to dry meat and preserve food in bottles and jars. But then she had another problem: she wasn't using enough battery power and the batteries couldn't cycle, which meant their life was shortened.
Hosking and her husband live without lights on at night but during the day they are able to charge some LED lights. They are able to charge their phones and run the washing machine and the water pump too.
It's been a trial and error process for Hosking, and stormy overcast days don't help either.
This week, Te Aponga Uira invited Geoff Stapleton to conduct training in Managing Renewable Energy Solar systems held at the USP Campus.
Stapleton is managing director of Global Sustainable Energy Solutions in Australia, and brought with him experience in designing, installing, and managing solar energy systems.
The purpose of the training was to strengthen the capacity of the electrical industry in managing solar energy systems with considerations given to battery storage solutions that may apply to future home and business connections.
Due to the Cook Islands developed country status we miss out on the Sustainable Energy Industry Development Project which has funding is from the World Bank and the Pacific Power Association in Suva but Te Aponga Uira is still contracting GSES to conduct the same workshops being conducted in the other countries.
Stapleton said good quality solar modules have a life expectancy greater than 30 years however the batteries will not last 30 years and the replacement cost should be included within the tariff being charged for the electricity.
Stapleton added "It would be good if the country had mini-hydro or micro-hydro but I do not think they have many options on Rarotonga. Wind is also a possibility but it is important that if they are installed they are designed to withstand cyclones."

What is memory? What's the utility in exploring it and risking the activation of painful memories? What remembrance do we owe people we have lost and how is that reflected in the monuments we create to memorialize them? Why do different groups of people interpret the same event differently—even when the facts are not disputed?
In The Ethics of Memory, we will discuss these questions and more by exploring personal memory, collective memory and memorial culture, and conflicts of memory.
We begin early in the 20th century—the century of critical engagement with memory—when personal memory was plumbed as the basis of psychoanalysis and as a theme in the poetry and prose of World War I. Then we look at the ways in which a people, collectively, choose to memorialize those lost to war, injustice, or tragedy. Finally, we explore memory as a site of struggle, where the way we see ourselves currently implicated by a memory may depend on our group identity, such as in the case for reparations for slavery in the United States.
Throughout, we will share our own perspectives on personal and collective memory and wrestle with questions of ethical responsibility for remembrance and ownership of the narrative of a memory.
In this course, we will:
- Discover in the writing of Freud how the exploration of memory gave birth to psychoanalysis, and in Proust how such exploration was elevated to an art form;
- Examine poetry from WWI and the Harlem Renaissance that demonstrates the relevance of literature as a framework for understanding the ethics of memory;
- Reflect on examples of the many ways we collectively memorialize our losses; and
- Share examples of personal and public monuments to memory in order to reflect on the ethical responsibility that memorializing confers on us now.

Multisensory integration of interval duration
Previous studies have shown that perception of time durations can be distorted when temporal information is delivered by different sensory modalities. For instance, it has been shown that perceived duration of visual intervals is strongly influenced by conflicting auditory intervals. However, it still remains unclear which mechanisms underlie this multimodal integration of interval duration. To investigate this issue, I particularly assess perceived duration of audiovisual intervals with conflicting temporal information.

Besides striving to empower academic excellence among students, 21st century academicians are often tasked to discover and groom talents and good qualities among today's younger generation. As Noah Webster, the great American lexicographer and educator once said, "The virtues of men are of more consequence to society than their abilities; and for this reason, the heart should be cultivated with more assiduity than the head."
The INTI Penang Chamber Choir performs for the INTI Penang Choral Concert 2018: The Beginning of a Musical Journey.
Taking these immortal words into consideration and guided by a vision of grooming eminent talents, INTI International College Penang (INTI) organised a choral music performance, specifically for the purposes of charity.
Aimed at raising funds for the Penang Family Health Development Association (PFHDA), which provides family planning information and clinical services such as wellness screening, the INTI Penang Chamber Choir which includes 13 student choristers from various INTI programmes, for instance 3+0 B.A. (Hons) Mass Communications, University of Hertfordshire, UK; 3+0 B.A. (Hons) in Event Management & Marketing, University of Hertfordshire, UK, trained hard for eight months for the show.
"The INTI Penang Chamber Choir has demonstrated a high level of discipline and perseverance in making this event a success. I am proud of what they have accomplished, and would like to thank the team for putting their heart and soul into this charity project," said Ms Hemalatha Murugiah, Chief Executive of INTI International College Penang, who was among the audience who graced the show with full support.
Held at the Multipurpose Hall of INTI's Penang campus, the show, titled The Beginning of a Musical Journey, drew audiences from within and beyond the campus. Also in attendance was Ms Yeap Meng Chee, PFHDA's chairperson.
Led by Elween Loke, the Choir Master, and the Head of Programme of B.A. (Hons) Mass Communications, University of Hertfordshire at INTI, the performance by 13 INTI's choristers, who were also joined by 10 guest singers from various choir groups in Penang, presented songs like O' Salutaris Hostia, Ne Menj El!, De Profundis Clamavi, To the Greenwood, Siyahamba, Rasa Sayang and the finale Thank You for the Music.
"Thanks to their exposure from young, many INTI students are blessed with musical talents spanning various genres. In responding to the idea of forming a choir, these young talents were delighted with the idea of exploring their capabilities, and I believe they truly appreciated not just the process of training, but also the camaraderie in the choir," shared Loke.
The performance successfully raised about RM2000.00 for PFHDA, and more importantly brought awareness to students and the community on the association's work in family health.

Recalling his experience over the months, Samir Lim, an INTI student studying Event Management stated that it had provided him an opportunity to jump into the unknown and explore a totally different aspect of himself. "I believe that I've grown throughout this period. Being in a choir is not just about making sure you sound good, but also working alongside fellow singers to ensure the group sings and blends together as one harmonious voice. Being a part of this group, which is now more of one big family, has truly taught me to understand myself better," enthused Lim.
Mak Chan Yee, an INTI student studying Mass Communication shared, "In the beginning, I joined the choir just for fun. Unbeknownst to me at that time, it would become an activity that I look forward to every single week. I love how the choir has brought us together and has built the camaraderie amongst the members we have today that has been strengthened through each choir practice."
As part of its commitment towards developing young talents by providing a holistic education, INTI continues its endeavours through these extra-curricular programmes to ensure graduates are not only equipped with academic and practical knowledge, but also with the skills, interests and talents that will help them make our society a better place to live in.

Certificate Programs > Levande Program in Gerontology
Levande Program in Gerontology
The Levande Certificate Program in Gerontology is aimed at providing the best educational experience for future gerontological social work practitioners and leaders. The certificate program includes methods used to identify individual, family, and community strengths, and stresses effective use of community-based programs and alternative services. Students learn how to deliver services in respectful and culturally appropriate ways that benefit older adults and their families. This program is available to both Clinical and OCL students.
Demographic trends predict a steady increase in the number of older adults in the U.S., making this the fastest growing field of employment for social workers. It is essential that more social work professionals be trained to be on the forefront of improving community-based services for older adults and their families. In 2009, the School of Social Work successfully completed a three-year John A. Hartford Foundation Practicum Partnership Program grant focused on gerontology. The success of this program led Social Work Professor Emerita Diane Levande, a pioneer of gerontological social work at MSU, to make a generous endowment of the current program.
The deadline for this year's application is Dec 1st. Each selected participant in the program will receive $1,000 stipend.
Program Components
The Levande Certificate Program in Gerontology requires satisfactory completion of the following:
- SW 822 (3 cr, spring) Topics in Policy Practice and Advocacy: Aging
- Four elective credits related to gerontology, such as one or more of the following courses:
- SW 877 (2 cr) Seminar in Social Work with Older Adults
- SW 891 (2 cr) Special Topics in Social Work (any topic related to older adults)
- SW 890 (1-4 cr) Independent Study
- (Relevant courses can also be found in other disciplines)
- Attend two aging-related events, one related to diversity, and submit a confirmation form for each event
- Specialized field placement related to gerontology, in either the generalist or advanced year (students may rotate between two geriatric field placements; potential placements include nursing facilities, home health care, medical centers, state or local government programs, and community-based agencies)

Nose Cone
To produce the nose cone used on the rocket a mold was made from a full scale plug. The plug was made from 1" pink foam and balsa circles. The Balsa circles were cut using a laser cutter and the pink foam was cut roughly to shape using those circles. Once the pink foam was cut to size the pieces were stacked together on an aluminum mandrel. The foam was then scraped and sanded into final shape before a layer of fiberglass was applied. The fiberglass was then filled and sanded smooth before it was pointed to see any imperfections. A female mold was then produced using the plug and resin for the mold material. From that mold our nose cone was produced by laying our carbon/Kevlar composite into our mold and then pulling a vacuum on the two halves. Once the pieces had cured, the two pieces were glued together and reinforced using fiberglass and carbon fiber cloth along the length of the seams. the entire nosecone was then covered in resin and sanded smooth in order to create a suitable surface for clear coat. The clear coat was then wet sanded to give the nose cone a smooth finish. As a final touch, the aluminum nose cone tip, which was machined on a CNC lathe was affixed to the carbon/Kevlar body and affixed using a 1/4-20 all thread rod.

If you're like most people, you've found yourself yearning to be free of a job or relationship but just didn't have the courage or confidence to push the eject button. And if you're like most people, if and when you finally quit that job or ended that relationship, your reaction was, I wish I would have done that years ago.

Today, most job searches are conducted online. Although some parts of the country will still focus on more personable job searches, the majority of young Americans will be searching for their first entry-level jobs on computers. Online job searches are both convenient and troublesome. Recent graduates no longer have to go to an employment agency's office or endlessly drop in on various professionals in order to gain employment in a company; rather they can conduct all of their employment research from the comfort of their own homes. On the other hand, potential entry-level employees can be difficult to distinguish from one another because their résumés tend to look similar. On paper, new grads can appear to be one and the same, but in person their different skills, interests, and personalities can shine through. For many employers, the right personality is just as valuable as qualifications on paper. So how can recent grads manage their online job search without becoming entirely overwhelmed?
1) Focus the job search
New grads who have obtained broad degrees such as in business or communications will be able to apply to a diverse range of jobs. However, applying to several different jobs in several different subfields can become stressful very quickly. Job seekers are encouraged to focus their searches on a particular job title (and similar positions) during their online searches. They should start with a subfield they feel passionate about because their excitement for the position (or lack thereof) will shine through and give them a better chance of achieving interviews.
2) Supplement with in-person contacts and connections
Although online job searches are convenient, they are not always successful if conducted without the help of in-person contacts. Former professors and alumni connections are an essential part of a first time job search, and they can provide introductions and tips that can be extremely valuable. An online resume can easily go from the middle of the pile to the top with an introduction or recommendation coming from someone already within the company.
3) Pick a time of day to call it quits
At some point, job seekers have to call it quits, at least for that day. In many cases, recent grads are searching for a job late in the evening after coming home from their part-time college jobs. Job seekers don't do a great job of proofreading or checking for important details late at night and often send out applications they later wish they could have taken a second look at. The late hours of the evening also come with varying degrees of mental fatigue that result from a full day's work. Even if job seekers are a few minutes away from finishing an important application, they're encouraged to proofread the next morning with fresh eyes.
4) Go the extra mile
Because most current applicants don't reach out in person or on the phone, those who do will get more attention. If there is a number for an HR Manager or department head, applicants should give them a call and introduce themselves or ask any pertinent questions regarding the position. Instead of following up with just an email, follow up with a personable phone call. Applicants who are giving an interview are encouraged to send a handwritten thank-you note that will make them stand out from the crowd.
5) Put a little piece of your personality in each cover letter
Because the hiring manager only learns about applicants from a couple pieces of paper, it's important their personalities shine through. Most applicants write one cover letter and gear it towards each position. However, an applicant's skills and passion tend to become apparent when each cover letter is written from scratch. Additionally, it's important that job seekers write their cover letters at a time of day when they have a lot of energy and enthusiasm. It's also a great idea to ask another person to proofread a cover letter and make sure that it's personable, professional, and easy to read.

- Carba-Tec RDP-116 RadialArm Drill
- Brand: Carba-Tec | Category: Drill Presses
My Radial Arm Drill review RDP-116
Carba-Tec branded 5 Speed Radial Arm Drill Press. Motor is ½ hp
5 speed pulley system 500 to 2450 RPM
Reported Keyed Chuck capacity 1mm to 13mm (see Note)
Note: May 2016 I find the chuck will not hold a drill bit smaller than 2mm.
Taper MT2
Chuck travel 80mm
Chuck to base 1225mm
Cast iron table round 300mm diameter
Tilting head 45 deg L 90 deg R
Table tilt 360 deg
Drill to column cetner 130 to 420mm
Chuck to table Max 700mm
No light
Base footprint 240×410mm
Drilling capacity ½ " or 12.75 mm steel
Weight 60 kg
Overall appearance
The Radial Arm Drill (RAD) appears to be a generic model from PRC or Taiwan, then branded to suit resellers.
It looks similar to any other brand I saw but Carba Tech was the only AUST supplier of this entry model.
Although it is specifically designed for entry level wood work there is no reason it cannot be used for metalworking.
Reason for purchasing.
I did not have a suitable drill press apart from my portable drill attachment which I have had for years.
It had a distance limitation from the rear post to the chuck position of only about 120mm depth, then add a table jig and it was almost impossible to use so I needed to purchase one with more distance. The RAD gave me 130mm to 420mm more then I would ever need.
Unpacking and Commissioning
The machine came partly pre assembled and required the assembly of the post or column and base then the fitment of the radial arm mech to the top.
My first impressions of the drill were that it was a huge improvement on what I had.
The Operation Manual
The operation manual was of surprisingly good quality and had very clear graphic images to assist the operator.
As it was a combined bench and floor manual the referenced model numbers had been blacked out by hand in some references
Set up
The machine was able to be set up without any problems however a work bench would be essential to assist the assembly due to the weight and size of it.
As the machine had so many features the operation of the machine is quite complicated compared to a standard drill press. This means with the added features some additional care needs to be taken when using it if repeatability and accuracy is to be maintained and produce satisfactory results.
Accuracy of Operation.
The accuracy and repeatability is as good as you could set it up however you cannot use the drill to produce a series of holes along a prescribed line simply by operating the head traverse knob and simply drilling, there is too much movement in the radial arm section to allow this.
Considerable checking of the drill position prior to drilling and then again after locking everything up is required to produce accurate repetitive drilling.
On the RAD there is the standard quill feed handle, and a table positioning handle, nothing different there.
However you now have the additional adjustable components to consider:-
The Head Rotation Lock. This locks the drill at the required drilling position concentric to the column. The Head Angle Lock. This locks the drill at the required angle to the table and, The Head Traverse Lock. This locks the drill at the required position out from the column at the table.
All of which must be checked locked and checked again before drilling if accuracy is to be maintained.
The reason being :-
The Head Rotation Lock. Although this is a one off lock if left unlocked you will soon know about it, the assembly will move left or right or re-emerge as a positioning error later. The
Head Rotation Lock must be engaged at every drill operation. Great for drilling concentric holes.
The Head Angle Lock. This has a 90 deg keyway and a locking guide pin however there is so much movement in the manufacturing tolerances anything from -1 deg to 0 then + 1deg of movement at the head subtend this down to the drill bit tip and there is a huge amount of deflection. The Head Angle Lock must be engaged at every drill operation. With the locking pin disengaged angles from 45 deg L and 90 deg R are possible, again engaging the Angle lock before drilling.
As to why you would tilt the head 90 deg instead of just rotating your work is a bit of a mystery.
0 to 89 deg I can understand however the feature is there no doubt somebody has used it!
The Head Traverse lock. You would think if you were doing repeating drilling you could simply traverse the bit to the correct position and drill a hole and repeat the process.
Wrong! there is now so much deflection in the Cross Head Tee that the drill bit again deflects upon contact with the material. The Head Traverse Lock must be engaged at every drill operation. This is where the RAD comes into play in its design to drill out to 420mm.
The Table assembly. The table also has the ability to raise and lower it 700mm rotate it 360 degs or swing it out of the way completely and use the base. As to why you would alter the table angle as opposed to the head angle is not known but the feature is there !
Safety devices.
Power switch located at the front and has NVR feature.
Guards by virtue of its operation the guards fitted are adequate for the job.
The belts are all enclosed and there is a flip up Perspex chuck guard fitted to the chuck.
This guard would have to be removed when using a hole saws or similar tool larger then 3" or 70 mm.
Surface finish
The enclosure and associated parts are finished well
Cast iron Surfaces
The cast iron Table is ground to a very smooth finish making preservation and cleaning easy.
All other parts are painted.
I did a couple of Mods:
As it had a key chuck I added a magnet to hold the key at the side.
Added a bigger footprint with castors to make it portable
Added a pull chain to the base to manoeuvre it about.
I had the Head Angle locking pin remanufactured to enable unlocked traverse drilling but it was unsuccessful due to other existing manufacturing tolerances.
Quality of construction on par for PRC items
Ease of operation: Complex! Requires meticulous checking when doing repeat work. The RAD is effectively a four axis drill and requires four times the amount of setting up to drill a hole.
You would think you could drill with the Traverse lock disengaged for simplicity but its just not the case.
Not so good points:-
Poor engineering tolerances cumulating in unacceptable errors if all components are not securely locked and checked before commencing work.
The plastic crank handle on the table, this item is positioned right where one would attempt to hold the drill whilst moving it if portable, or risk breaking by impact or normal use.
Needs replacing with a metal crank (personal opinion)
The 1/2 Hp motor is a limitation.
There is no tool or information on how to remove the chuck once it is fitted
No work light
The chuck will not hold bits smaller than 2 mm meaning 1.5 and 1.0 mm
Other: Requires bolting in place or the fitment of an aftermarket extended foot print to prevent toppling at max extensions.
Value for money: At approx $400 and if you are needing all the additional features and prepared to spend the time setting it up it's definitely a good buy, otherwise stick with a conventional drill press.
Possibly the reason why there is not many machines in this price range available.

I had a similar one, cheap off shore knock off but for what I paid for it, and that was probably ten years ago, for the amount of work it did even if it had to be tweeked a bit, was well worth the money in my opinion. Having the arm be radial, instead of a fixed throat depth, is such an advantage. I h

I have a similar one by shop fox. you will find out that you will rarely use the tilting head and if you do the markings are accurate. KILL THE PORTABILITY of your floor mount drill. YOU MUST ANCHOR IT TO THE FLOOR OR YOU OR SOMEBODY YOU LOVE CAN BE INJURED OR KILLED. These things weigh enough to cause serious damage. Find a spot and mount it. These type of drills were not designed to be portable and the foot of the drill is too small for just having it stand. it is designed to be mounted to the floor. I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH that you MOUNT THIS TO THE FLOOR. after you mount it to the floor give it a trial and I am sure you will love it. the motors in these type of units made for woodworking can sometimes be a bit under powered when using larger bits such as 1 inch etc. these are not expensive commercial machine shop tools and there is a difference. I remember the one in high school, 47 years ago, was stronger then one of these. ha ha. 47 years. wow. and to think I did not care for wood shop bach then.

What did you do to tweek your RAD? All my efforts in replacing the key and shiming the locking pin did not remove the "unlocked" play.

I had a Delta bench top version many years ago. My main gripe was that there was no crank to raise and lower the table. Had to loosen the clamp and then wiggle the table to make it move. Not so bad gong down, but no fun at all raising it.
I would not advise a radial drill press for drilling metal. Metal requires a lot more pressure, and there is too much flex in the various components for this. Maybe okay for small holes in aluminum.

$295 to $299 is a reasonable increase
Mine was $400 now $499 and personally considering the use I have had since purchase from the additional functionality, you are better off sticking to a conventional drill.
Looks identical apart from a different paint job.

Bloody good and thorough write up rc...
Hope you got at least 1 free screw out of Carba-Tec for your effort.
rc, Eye had my I on this little bewdie for a while about 7 years ago. Fortunately I had a Triton drill that satisfied all my wide reaching "swings" (and bloody accurate to boot),
However, old batteries get older and eventually stop behaving like an overcharged teenager. When I lost its functionality ($250 to rebuild each battery which was a tad too extravagant for my liberal extravagance) it was relegated to a back-shelf (I didn't have the heart to throw it out) and replaced with a "drill mate" pictured on its left…. It never cut the mustard and many times I would have killed for that extra 100mm reach on my DP. Not often required but when it is… it would have been priceless (without the Triton)...
BTW.. I owe you a big tongue kiss… I have been searching high and low for a missing drill bit that I just found in the chuck of the drill mate (pulled out of it's resting place just for this reply).
PS. don't be revolted, I have a smooth tongue…

I meant to post this for Monday. Since I didn't get to it today you get a recipe as well as the Festival Roundup (to follow).
I was looking through my big accordian file of "recipes to try someday" on Sunday, looking for a recipe I knew I had on peach butter you make in the oven, when I came across "Ginger Fish Marinade". I had printed the recipe off the internet about 4 years ago-I'm not sure of the source anymore. Since we have a pretty steady supply of free fish (it is just so awful to have a brother in law who loves to fish but hates to eat it-the horror of all that trout and whiting. . .. ) I decided to try it. Delicious!
I added about a cup of mushrooms into the ziplock baggie with the fish and marinade. The mushrooms picked up more of the lemon flavor than the fish did. I liked the tangy taste of them, but if you are not big on sour, you might throw the mushrooms in at cooking time rather than marinating them, or leave them out all toghether as the original recipe did.
Usually I'd use a plastic container that I could wash and reuse (I don't like reusing baggies that have had raw meat in them) but BIL had given us the fish precleaned and frozen in baggies, so I just used the one it was already in.
Marinate for between 20 min to 1 hour, then cook.
I used whiting, which has a pretty delicate flavor. Plus it was already cut into fairly small pieces, so I marinated it for about 30 min. Then I put the fish and mushrooms into a microwave safe container (sprayed w/pam) and nuked it for 2 minutes, checked, then nuked for another minute. Tada-yummy fish!
I took the marinade, boiled it on the stove, then added about 1 1/2 tsps of cornstarch that I had dissolved first in some cold water. (for those of you who don't cook much you ALWAYS have to dissolved cornstarch in something cold before adding it to a hot-otherwise you just get big lumps) Then I brought it back up to a boil so it would thicken. It made a great sauce for the rice and fish.
And yes Mom, this is very similar to the fish you made us growing up, which is what attracted me to the recipe to start with 🙂

The Hawaiian Humane Society is revising its adoption fees for puppies, kittens, cats and dogs, starting Tuesday.
The new fees will be on a tiered system, based on the age of the animals, according to the Society's recent newsletter and Facebook post.
"We're moving to a tiered system to better place the animals available for adoption and help senior animals find homes quicker as they often are our longest residents here at the Hawaiian Humane Society," said the Society in its post. "All dogs and cats are spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, dewormed, receive flea and tick preventive and older animals often receive dental cleaning and treatment."
The new fees, starting Tuesday, are as follows:
Puppies and Dogs
>> $125 for puppies 6 months and under
>> $85 for dogs 7 months to 5 years
>> $55 for dogs 6 and older (waived for people 55 and older)
Cats and Kittens
>> $125 for kittens 6 months and under
>> $45 for cats 7 months to 1 year
>> $10 for cats from 2 to 5 years
>> Waived for cats 6 and older
The number of cats available for adoption greatly outnumbers the dogs, according to the Society, and the length of stay for dogs tends to be shorter. The Society is hoping its tiered pricing will encourage more people to adopt cats, especially older cats.
The Society said it has also implemented a new adoptions contract, which will provide the adopter with more information on the animal's medical and behavior history, to the extent known, to enhance its service to the community.
Starting today, the Adoptions Center will be closed Mondays to give HHS staff more time for training and development opportunities. Admissions and foster care services will remain open. The Hawaii Cat Cafe and partnering Petco locations will also maintain their regular hours.

How can some people bounce back from hardship or remain in challenging situations while others get disconcerted and remain affected for a longer period of time? Resilience is the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, and other significant sources of stress. Research has shown that resilience is ordinary, not extraordinary and people regularly demonstrate resilience. Having strong resiliency skills doesn't remove challenging or distressed feelings, but rather can help reduce the time it takes to return to "normal" functioning. Luckily, resilience involves behaviours, thoughts and actions that can be learned and developed in anyone.
Several achievable factors are associated with resilience, including:
- Having caring and supportive relationships
- The capacity to make realistic plans and take steps to carry them out
- A positive view of yourself and confidence in your strengths and abilities
- Skills in communication and problem solving

Only Simple Words I Pray
16 Rejoice always! 17 Pray constantly. 18 Give thanks in everything, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thess. 5:16-18(HCSB)
This is a poem of praise I wrote several years after the event that left me in a mind and body I did not know. I knew if I did not do everything I could on each day I had been given, I was dishonoring God for giving me that day. So this is not a recent event I am writing about, but I just decided to share it publicly. My journey to this point has been long, and it was accomplished only with His help.
The weed withers, flowers fade, But the word of our God stands forever. Isaiah 40:8 ESV

Well we won the appeal despite it being an ordeal for OH. I myself was past caring. It was not a pleasant experience and couldn't help feeling those we sat before didn't really have a clue what it was like to be in our shoes. But hey it's over with and whilst I know it doesn't mean it won't ever happen again we got through and have learned from it. Hopefully this time next year I won't be reliant on DWP for my income. OH has been placed in the WRAG group, which we were told was the best we could hope for. So OH will have to attend an interview at the job centre designed to help him back into work but he can't be forced to apply for jobs. We have been told that this programme is sketchy in its success as the help you receive often depends on the person appointed to help you. We will see.
So I will be winding down this blog and starting a new one shortly. I will report back on here as and when there are any other developments and if anyone wants any help or pointers on the appeal process I'm only to glad to help if I can. Leave a comment and I'll get back to you. Thanks for reading it has really helped to offload on here. Bye

Glaucoma is a neurodegenerative disorder of the visual system. To date, the role of transsynaptic degeneration in the pathophysiology of the disease remains incompletely understood. This study evaluated the microstructural and metabolic integrity in the posterior visual pathway in relation to retinal morphology and visual field (VF) function in glaucoma.
8 early glaucoma (age=63.3±7.6 yrs), 9 advanced glaucoma (age=65.7±8.5 yrs) and 7 healthy control subjects (age=64.1±8.4 yrs) underwent whole-brain microstructural diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and single-voxel metabolic proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) of the primary visual cortex in a 3 Tesla MRI scanner. DTI parameters [fractional anisotropy (FA), and axial (AD), radial and mean diffusivities] of the optic radiation (OR) and the non-visual corticospinal tract (CST) were extracted and compared with visual brain metabolites [N-acetylaspartate (NAA), choline (Cho), glutamate/glutamine complex (Glx) and myo-inositol (Ins)] as a ratio to creatine (Cr) contents. For each subject, macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (pRNFL) thicknesses were obtained using spectral-domain OCT. VF pattern standard deviation (PSD) and mean deviation (MD) were also obtained for each eye. Associations between DTI, 1H-MRS, OCT and VF were analyzed.
Within the posterior visual pathway, positive correlations were observed from FA vs Cho:Cr (p=0.01) and AD vs Cho:Cr (p=0.04). Comparing between eye and visual brain, positive correlations were obtained from AD vs GCC (p=0.047); Cho:Cr vs GCC, pRNFL and MD (p=0.004, 0.036 and 0.004); and Ins:Cr vs GCC, pRNFL and MD (p=0.04, 0.03, and 0.01), whereas, negative correlations were found from AD vs PSD (p=0.03), Cho:Cr vs PSD (p=0.007) and Glx:Cr vs pRNFL (p=0.04). No significant correlation was obtained in pRNFL vs DTI parameters in OR; DTI in CST vs 1H-MRS, OCT and VF; or age vs DTI, 1H-MRS, OCT and VF (p>0.05).
Current results indicate that FA and AD in microstructural DTI and Cho:Cr, Ins:Cr, and Glx:Cr in metabolic 1H-MRS may be sensitive markers to detect early transsynaptic damages before changes in neuronal integrity marker NAA:Cr occurred in visual cortex. GCC may be more sensitive than pRNFL at detecting abnormal eye-brain microstructural relationships with DTI in glaucoma.

Microsoft: "We'd Aggressively Challenge" Government Spying Via Kinect
When Microsoft revealed the Xbox One and announced that the new-and-improved version of Kinect would have to be hooked up to the console at all times for the device to function, a lot of gamers cringed with a mix of disappointment and fear.
Having a camera in your living space that is constantly watching you has proven to be an unpopular feature of Microsoft's next-gen console. As such, the company has spoken out to assuage gamers' fears regarding personal privacy.
MS released the following statement to The Verge regarding government spying via the Kinect:
Absent a new law, we don't believe the government has the legal authority to compel us or any other company that makes products with cameras and microphones to start collecting voice and video data.
We'd aggressively challenge in court any attempts to try and force us to do so.
Do you trust Microsoft enough to embrace the Kinect? Does the idea of having an ever-seeing camera in front of your television disturb you? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

The Bloodstock team are pleased to announce that UK grindcore legends NAPALM DEATH have been added to the bill for Bloodstock Open Air 2008.
Napalm Death's origins stretch right back to 1982 when the band was formed near Birmingham by the duo of Nic Bullen and Miles Ratledge. Although the early line-ups gigged locally and recorded various demos, it wasn't until 1986 that Napalm Death - by then featuring Bullen alongside Justin Broadrick (later of Godflesh and Jesu) and Mick Harris (later of Scorn) – arrived at the high-speed, high-intensity sound with which they would take the music world by storm. 'Scum' – the band's debut album – appeared in 1987 and was compiled from recordings of both the Bullen/Broadrick/Harris line-up and of the new look band which then featured Bill Steer on guitar and Lee Dorrian on vocals. This 'classic' line-up was completed by the recruitment of bassist Shane Embury who joined just prior to a tour in support of 'Scum'. 'From Enslavement To Obliteration' followed in 1988 and continued the band's whirlwind grindcore assault, albeit with improved production, but the subsequent EP 'Mentally Murdered' – although one of the best things recorded by any Napalm Death line-up – heralded the departure of both Steer and Dorrian who went on to fame with Carcass and Cathedral respectively. The pair were replaced by guitarist Jesse Pintado and vocalist Mark 'Barney' Greenway.
After taking part in record label Earache's 'Grindcrusher' tour alongside Carcass, Bolt Thrower and Morbid Angel, the band added second guitarist Mitch Harris. The twin guitar capability saw the band change their sound to a predominantly death metal style on 'Harmony Corruption', a change which foreshadowed much of their future career which saw them blend grindcore and death metal styles in varying degrees. The following years brought continuing success to Napalm Death, despite the departure of Mick Harris, the untimely death of Jesse Pintado and controversial experiments such as 'Fear, Emptiness, Despair', and in recent times, albums such as 'The Code Is Red... Long Live The Code' and their most recent effort 'Smear Campaign' have proved their ability to get back to basics with some serious blast-beat laden grind. A new album is expected soon.

OXFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND — Thomas Cromwell was rolling a cigarette. Henry VIII was sitting on a chair amid a stretch of green lawn, eyes closed, face turned to the summer sunlight. A gaggle of ladies-in-waiting swept across the gardens. A courtier popped his head apologetically around the door of Broughton Castle. "Five minutes," he said.
Cromwell — in the shape of the actor Mark Rylance — laughed and picked up the soft black cap he had taken off during a break in filming. "Better put the hat back on," he said.
Mr. Rylance, perhaps Britain's pre-eminent stage actor, wore the Cromwell hat for almost 17 weeks last summer while filming the television series "Wolf Hall," an adaptation of Hilary Mantel's two award-laden novels revolving around Thomas Cromwell — political wizard, right-hand man and fixer for Henry VIII — that will make its American debut on PBS's "Masterpiece" on April 5.
The six-part series, written by Peter Straughan and directed by Peter Kosminsky, stars Damian Lewis as Henry, Claire Foy as Anne Boleyn and other members of British acting royalty alongside Mr. Rylance. It opened to rapturous acclaim in January in Britain, drawing an average of 4.4 million viewers a week, making it the most popular television drama on BBC Two since ratings began in 2002.
"Event television, sumptuous, intelligent, and serious, meticulous in detail," Sam Wollaston wrote in The Guardian.
It's part of a veritable "Wolf Hall" industry here. Ms. Mantel won the Booker Prize in 2009 for her first Cromwell novel, "Wolf Hall," and then did it again in 2012 with a sequel, "Bring Up the Bodies," resulting in huge book sales and a great deal of buzz when Mike Poulton adapted them for the Royal Shakespeare Company. The two productions, named after each book, have played to packed houses in Stratford-upon-Avon and the West End for the past year and — in an odd moment of Tudor takeover — will open on April 9 at the Winter Garden Theater on Broadway just a few days after the television series begins.
"I think what we are setting out to do is very different," said Mr. Kosminsky, a veteran television director who worked with Mr. Rylance on the television drama "The Government Inspector" in 2005. "I think what Peter Straughan has tried to do is darker and more serious in its intent; he has gone for the political jugular." Asked whether the show was an attempt to reassert British mastery of long-form television after the recent dominance of American series, Mr. Kosminsky laughed.
"Not at all," he said. "We all thought we were making a serious drama, which would play to devotees of the book. Nothing prepared us for the response that it has had. I certainly wasn't expecting it to be a Trojan horse in the American drama market."
Mr. Kosminsky added that the series is nonetheless an important gambit for the BBC, whose royal charter is up for renewal and whose system of funding is being questioned ahead of a general election.
"Here comes this series, based on two Booker Prize novels with magnificent actors and a substantial investment of time and money," Mr. Kosminsky said. "The BBC is saying, this is the kind of thing only the BBC can do." After the series was broadcast in Britain, there was exhaustive media coverage discussing everything from Tudor economics to fashion, and engendering a predictable amount of historical debate.
"There's an important distinction to make," said Mr. Lewis, best known for playing Nicholas Brody in the series "Homeland." Sitting on the lawn in full big-shouldered costume, looking every inch the handsome, charismatic and still-trim monarch he plays in the series, he added: "We are not telling Tudor history; we are creating 'Wolf Hall' from novels, which are already a rereading of Tudor history."
The apparently inexhaustible appetite for versions of Ms. Mantel's story is partly the result of Britain's perpetual fascination with the Tudor dynasty but is mostly testament to her vividly original reading of the period: Henry's desperation for a male heir, the break with the Roman Catholic Church, the beginnings of Protestantism, the dissolution of the monasteries and the eventual execution of Anne, the point at which the second book ends. (Ms. Mantel is writing a third installment, "The Mirror and the Light," which will chronicle the last four years of Cromwell's life.)
All these events are mediated through the perspective and personality of Cromwell, usually depicted by historians as an unscrupulous and cruel power-monger, but here given a far more enigmatic profile as Ms. Mantel's narrative follows his rise from blacksmith's son to heights of power second only to the king. As Cromwell frees his master from his marriage to Catherine of Aragon so that he may marry Anne Boleyn, then orchestrates her downfall, he emerges as clever, witty and urbane, multilingual, inexhaustibly energetic and a master of the dog-eat-dog political chess game that is Henry's court.
"It's an extraordinary job for me," Mr. Rylance said after shooting multiple takes of a confrontation with an ailing Catherine of Aragon (Joanne Whalley). "There are about 70 or 80 scenes per episode, and I'm in most of them. The difficulty is that you are playing a character who never reveals what he is thinking. So you can't compromise his expressionlessness, but you have to convey what might be going on for him."
Although the series has arrived after the plays, Colin Callender, a former president of HBO films whose production company Playground produced the series (with Company Pictures, "Masterpiece" and BBC Two), began negotiations to secure the rights in 2012. Mr. Callender said that as soon as he read the books, he envisaged a television production.
"I thought that the way Hilary had reinvigorated the historical novel showed a way to blow the cobwebs from the historical TV drama," Mr. Callender said in an interview before a February screening of the final episode at the BBC in London. "For audiences who are fascinated by complicated moral lines, characters like Tony Soprano or Kevin Spacey's politician in "House of Cards," there was something quite wonderful here."
To adapt the novels, Mr. Callender approached Mr. Straughan, who had been nominated for an Academy Award for the film adaptation of John Le Carré's "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy." Mr. Straughan's achievement in condensing the thousand-plus pages of the two Mantel novels into a six-hour production surpassed all expectations. "He has reduced it in the way a good maker of bourbon would," Mr. Rylance said. "It's certainly barrel strength."
Mr. Straughan said that early in the adaptation process he decided to structure the script around the idea of Cromwell's revenge on those who brought about the downfall of his mentor, Cardinal Wolsey. "When you're adapting something with this kind of scale, you are looking for a spine that will help you make decisions," he said. "I felt instinctively that this would help to understand Cromwell, the long game he is playing, the concessions and moral compromises he must make. And then, when the field is clear, he is left in plain sight of the king, which becomes dangerous."
Ms. Mantel, he said, was "very open" to the idea. "The good writers understand that a slavish adaptation is going to make poor drama," he said.
In an interview after the BBC screening, Ms. Mantel (who was continuously interrupted by fans paying homage) said that she had been astounded when the first script arrived. "He seemed to have got inside my head and found exactly the right images," she said. "I found it uncannily good."
So good, in fact, that the BBC greenlit the project on the basis of the first draft. (The broadcaster contributed the major part of the series's roughly $15 million budget.)
Mr. Rylance, who has won three Tony Awards, has done relatively little film or television work and isn't well-known to a broader audience. (That might change after "Wolf Hall" and two current film projects with Steven Spielberg — "The BFG" and "Bridge of Spies.") But Mr. Callender and his fellow producers weren't deterred. "Most actors can do one or two things at the same time; great actors can do several things at the same time; Mark Rylance can do hundreds of things at the same time," he said. "He has one of those faces that can tell a thousand stories."
So sure was Mr. Callender that Mr. Rylance was the right choice that he persuaded the BBC to wait a year while the actor performed in repertory productions of "Twelfth Night" and "Richard III" that played in the West End and on Broadway.
"It was very courteous of them," Mr. Rylance said, adding that the choice of director had been crucial to him and that he had suggested Mr. Kosminsky, who has mostly directed films on political and social topics, but Mr. Rylance pointed out that "politics and the way political power is exercised" are precisely the subject of "Wolf Hall."
Mr. Kosminsky said he was attracted to Ms. Mantel's interest in the changes in the Tudor era that now underpin modern society. "The start of the evangelical movement, the campaign to have an English Bible in each church, the beginnings of the English Civil Service, the limits of the absolute power of an absolute monarch and the beginnings of a representative parliament: Hilary confronted these issues head on rather than skirting around them as backdrop to a love affair," he said.
His approach to filming, he said, was to let Mr. Rylance's Cromwell be the audience's guide. "We had to find a way of showing this was Cromwell's story and, sometimes, his interior story, without his voice, which we have in the books," he said. "So the camera is really on Mark's shoulder. You look at people with him, you see his memories and dreams as elements that build on this sense we are seeing this in real time."
The result is Tudor history as a form of contemporary theater rather than costume drama. "One of the great things about the books is that none of the characters know their future, and I wanted to convey that immediacy," he said.
Ms. Mantel said that she had been thrilled by the outcome. "Watching the final episode now, even though you know what is going to happen, I was still on the edge of my seat," she said. "For the people in it, it's not a historical drama, it's their lives, still unfolding."

"Have you ever had a sense that God might be calling you to ordained ministry as a priest or deacon in the Episcopal Church?" asks the Rev. Margaret Grayden, Chair of the Commission on Ministry for the Episcopal Diocese of Northern California. "If so, you and your rector/vicar/priest-in-charge should attend the diocesan Day of Discernment.
She continues, "This is a great opportunity to hear what it's really like to be a priest or deacon in the Episcopal Church today, and to learn how the ordination process works in our diocese."
During the Day of Discernment, presentations on the priesthood, the diaconate, and religious orders active in our diocese will be provided. There will also be an overview of the ordination process (including handing out an application packet and a copy of The Manual and Guide for Ordination). Spouses are also welcome to attend the Day of Discernment.
Attendance is mandatory as the first step in the formal discernment process. Space is limited, so be sure to register ASAP!
There will be two Days of Discernment in 2020:

Portable Oxygen Concentrators have become a viable alternative to other oxygen equipment for ambulatory use and travel. The concentrator takes in air from the atmosphere and filters it to produce almost pure oxygen.
It can be operated by mains power, via an internal and/or external battery or via a DC 12 volt adaptor. This standard model battery lasts up to 4.5 hours.
It is different to the static oxygen concentrators generally used in the home environment in that it delivers a pulse flow.
