There's an algebraic simplicity to Derek's predicament. A chest infection meant he preferred sleeping downstairs in the recliner chair where he could be nice and upright. Because he was further away from the toilet he stopped taking his diuretics, so he wouldn't have to face the stairs every five minutes. The less he used his legs, the more swollen and painful they became. He mobilised even less. He took to wearing inco pads his wife Maureen bought. Eventually he was off his legs completely. When he needed to open his bowels, it was all Maureen could do to help him stand for one precarious minute whilst she cleaned him up. He developed a pressure area. A urine infection. When eventually the doctor was called (they didn't like to bother anyone), he prescribed a broad-spectrum antibiotic, and referred Derek to the Rapid Response Team to co-ordinate care, equipment and physiotherapy at home.
Derek's fourteen year old granddaughter Leah is in the house when I visit with Connie, the occupational therapist. Leah is sprawled on the vast leather sofa that dominates the room, her attention split between the phone she holds in one hand and the giant TV screen in front of her, playing Strictly Come Dancing at top volume. She stares at the dancers on the screen with expressionless disdain.
'Can you turn that down a bit, Leah?' says Maureen.
'Can you turn the TV down?'
She points the phone at the screen, blinks a couple of times, and when nothing happens, sighs, picks up the remote from her lap and uses that instead. The noise diminishes a fraction.
'Thank you poppet.'
The whole thing inspires her to start texting; she brings the phone right up to her face and starts furiously jabbing away with her thumb.
We assess Derek, seeing what he can do, how he can stand, the state of his bottom and so on. I half expect Leah to make herself scarce, but as neither Derek or Maureen ask her to go, we carry on regardless.
'Oh! Oh! I'm widdling myself…' says Derek, staggering as we try to manoeuvre him on to the commode we've set up alongside the chair. Unfortunately, when we took the old pad away, we hadn't thought to have a fresh one ready and now our hands are full.
'Leah! Leah! Can you fetch me over a clean pad from the bag on the sofa next to you?' says Maureen.
'Uh?' says Leah, not looking up from the phone.
'Quickly darling! Can you fetch me a clean pad? Grandpa needs one right away.'
Leah leans to the side and starts blindly patting the space next to her, falling short of the pad bag by a foot.
'Quickly darling… oh, never mind. Don't worry. It's only an old carpet. I can soon clean that up.'
'Thanks for all you've done,' wheezes Derek as we land him safely on the commode. 'I can't thank you enough.'
'You're welcome!' I say to him.
I turn round to change my gloves. Leah has resumed her sprawled position on the sofa. I can't imagine how Maureen puts up with her, but I'm guessing there are reasons why things are as they are. I can't help feeling slightly queasy, though. She's like some giant, featherless cuckoo, landed in an alien nest, staring at all the spangly birds on Strictly Come Dancing, wondering if she wouldn't have been better off hatching there.
'Shall I make everyone some tea?' says Maureen. 'Leah? Would you like a cup of tea? And some of those fancy biscuits?'
'Uh,' says Leah.

Much is known about the Philippine national animal the carabao, however there was a species closely related to the carabao discovered roughly around the same time Mt.Pinatubo erupted back in 1993. Following the aftermath of the eruption, scientists went to the mountain to follow up on the landscape that was devastated. Much to their surprise, a new area in the side of the mountain opened up from the lava flow revealing an underground oasis containing life. The most significant discovery they made was an animal they named the Baracao.
Since the Baracao was only discovered roughly twenty-five years ago, scientists are still researching the animal. Scientists decided to name the animal "Baracao" since the genetic makeup closely resemble its cousin the Carabao. The baracao is classified in the animal family bovidae, due to it sharing characteristics of water buffalos, cattle, sheep, goats, and bison. Scientists believe the baracao were originally a herd of carabao that lived near the oasis, however they were cut off from the surface after a rock slide isolated the area. As a result of being isolated baracao are very low in population, with roughly only around one hundred living.
Appearance and Behaviors
The appearance of baracaos are skinny, pale, having medium sized curved horns, and hairless. Baracaos are also observed to barely have any eyesight with bioluminescent rocks as the only source of light, but they have a very strong sense of hearing and smell to compensate for their lack of vision. Also due to the lack of vitamin d from sunlight, baracaos are hairless and pale. The reason why baracaos are skinny is mainly from the lack of food resources, and the tough underground terrain they live in. Baracaos are recognized to eating the few underground plants and insects there, and being extremely aggressive towards one another butting horns when competing for resources. Considering baracaos are aggressive towards one another, baracaos tend to isolate themselves from one another, only interacting with each other when they have to mate. When they do have to mate, couples typically spend a week together, after which the male abandons the female baracao. Once the female births the calf, it abandons the calf leaving it to defend for itself. From the start the calf learns of its' harsh reality, competing with other calfs for resources until it hits maturation at roughly five years old.

Bulls use dominant start to defeat PacersDec 12, 2006 - 4:11 AM CHICAGO (Ticker) -- Luol Deng and Andres Nocioni gave the Chicago Bulls a tremendous start against a shorthanded opponent.
Ben Gordon scored 23 points, Deng had 22 and Nocioni added 19 to lead seven players in double figures as the Bulls won for the eighth time in nine games with a 106-91 victory over the Indiana Pacers.
Playing the sixth contest of an eight-game homestand, Chicago rebounded from Saturday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves with a season-high 42 first-quarter points to raise its record to 2-0 against the Pacers this season.
"I just wanted to make sure we were going to get the win," Bulls coach Scott Skiles said of his seven-man rotation. "I wanted to keep our main guys out there. That rotation seemed to work well."
Deng made all six shots in the first half and scored 16 points and Nocioni added 15 to give the Bulls a 66-50 lead at intermission. Chicago made 15-of-18 shots in the opening period and shot nearly 66 percent (21-of-32) prior to halftime.
"I didn't know we shot that well (in the first quarter)," Deng said. "When we came out, we shot great. I thought our defense wasn't great but our offense was very good."
"I was not happy with our play tonight," Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said. "Our play in the first quarter was abominable. We gave up 42 points and they shot something like 83 percent. Our defense was just not there."
After managing just four points in the first half, Gordon made 6-of-9 shots and scored 17 in the second, including three consecutive baskets after the Pacers cut the deficit to 98-89 with 5:07 remaining.
"When we get in the middle of the court and we are sharing the basketball, good things always happen," Gordon said. "You can always share the basketball. You can always play unselfish, and you can always play tough defense."
Ben Wallace scored 10 points and grabbed 13 rebounds for his second double-double of the season. Kirk Hinrich, Chris Duhon and P.J. Brown added 10 points each for the Bulls.
Indiana played without swingman Stephen Jackson, who was suspended for conduct detrimental to the team following an argument with Carlisle over being replaced in the second quarter of Saturday's loss to Cleveland.
In addition, All-Star forward Jermaine O'Neal missed his third straight contest with a sore left hamstring. Forward Al Harrington and guard Marquis Daniels were late scratches due to food poisoning.
Danny Granger and Jamaal Tinsley scored 21 points each and Sarunas Jasikevicius added 15 for Indiana, which shot 51 percent (37-of-72).
"My shot was falling in the first half," said Tinsley about playing despite a touch food poisoning. "But over the course of 48 minutes, when you are sick, you have to pick your spots of when to be aggressive. That's what I did in the third and fourth quarter."
"Tinsley played great for us," Carlisle said. "He made a lot of good things happen on the court. He was not feeling good and could have just bagged it. You could see that before the game he didn't look good at all."
Indiana's personnel changes led to the activation of rookie forward Shawne Williams, who scored 13 points in his first game.
"He has worked hard to stay ready," Carlisle said. "Our assistant coaches have spent a lot of time with him to have him ready to play. He's a guy that eventually will be able to do a lot of things on the court."

Well, we all know that the peninsula's "Summer" seems to end every year on Labor Day, but to everyone else in the US, today is actually the official last day of summertime. So if you survived the parking, the traffic, and the tourists jamming up your favorite establishments, those days are over this year (at least until the Boat Parade in December!)
So enjoy "Locals Summer" where our weather remains perfect but the crowds are gone. Many establishments throughout the peninsula have secret celebrations on this day, but the only one I have a date for is my favorite place to get lambchops: Aurora, located on Balboa Blvd about halfway inbetween Woody's Wharf and Mutt Lynch's (2305 W Balboa Blvd).
Starting at 3pm, they will be serving free food to area locals until– if you haven't eaten here yet, you're officially out of excuses as of Sunday! They will also be celebrating their first full year of business under the new owners… hurrah!
Balboa Saloon is known for their annual potluck, but I have not heard any solid dates on that so far this year.
I am sure I am missing some, so let me know where those are too, please!
And don't miss out Sunday afternoon starting at 1pm for the Balboa Island Carnival and Taste of the Island, which will include such events as Carnival Games, Bungee Jump for the Kids, Wine & Beer Garden, and my personal favorite, the Pie-Eating Contest.
What are your plans this weekend, now that the tourists have left us all alone with the beach and the great weather? 🙂

Last night, M and I watched Beer Wars by Anat Baron about the competition and monopoly style strangle hold the 'Big 3' have on the beer industry. She frames it in a very classic Goliath (Budweiser, Coors, Miller) v. David (local or small breweries) way.
Holy. Smokes.
What I didn't know (not in any particular order): 75% of the people in charge of stocking beer at groceries, supermarkets and liquor stores work for Budweiser, 3 beer companies produce and sell 78% of the beer consumed in the US, Bud has 49% market share!, Coors and Miller were allowed to merger to 'take on' Bud, laws restrict smaller (read independent) breweries from delivering their beer to stores or bars, and the Beer Lobby spends billions of dollars each year to win support in Congress.
Granted, I did find Anat's voice to be a little grating. But, she did raise some really great questions about monopoly, control, marketing, and the stifling of creativity.
I will most certainly be much much more aware of what beer I pick up, namely I will try to support more craft breweries, more local breweries, more honestly American and not corporate breweries.

The administrators of Read This! were thrilled to sit in on a presentation given by Virginia Stanley from HarperCollins. We found out about a ton of fantastic books that will be coming out this Fall. Here is a small sample…
Under This Unbroken Sky – Shandi Mitchell (September)
Spring 1938. After nearly two years in prison for stealing his own grain, Ukrainian immigrant Theo Mykolayenko is a free man. Losing the farm Theo built with his own hands, his wife Maria and their five children have struggled to survive with Theo's sister, Anna, on the harsh northern Canadian prairie. But now that he is back, Theo–a man who has overcome drought, starvation, war, and Stalin's purges–is determined to make a better life for them.
Manhood for Amateurs – Michael Chabon (October)
A shy manifesto, an impractical handbook, the true story of a fabulist, an entire life in parts and pieces, Manhood for Amateurs is the first sustained work of personal writing from Michael Chabon. In these insightful, provocative, slyly interlinked essays, one of our most brilliant and humane writers presents his autobiography and his vision of life in the way so many of us experience our own: as a series of reflections, regrets and re-examinations, each sparked by an encounter, in the present, that holds some legacy of the past.
Labor Day – Joyce Maynard (July)
In a manner evoking Ian McEwan's Atonement and Nick Hornby's About a Boy, Joyce Maynard tells a story of love, sexual passion, painful adolescence, and devastating betrayal as seen through the eyes of a thirteen-year-old boy—and the man he later becomes—looking back on the events of a single long, hot, and life-altering weekend.
Barbara Kingsolver – The Lacuna.
In her first novel in nine years, Barbara Kingsolver, the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of The Poisonwood Bible and Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, tells the story of Harrison William Shepherd, a man caught between two worlds—an unforgettable protagonist whose search for identity will take readers to the heart of the twentieth century's most tumultuous events The Lacuna is the story of a man's search for safety in the grinding jaws of two nations, at a moment when the entire world seemed bent on reinventing itself at any cost.
Also coming this Fall from HarperCollins:
Come Back, Como by Steven Winn
Anne Frank by Francine Prose
Lit by Mary Karr
My Prison, My Home by Haleh Esfandiari
Evidence of Murder by Lisa Black
The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba
Look forward to posts on upcoming books from Macmillan and Random House – coming soon!

Thumbs Up from the Handyman
A professional handyman tries hundreds of tools, so when he gives something a thumbs up, it means a lot. That's why we were so excited to hear how handyman Shawn Schmidt had done just that for our Hang & Level, Déco Hammer and Anchor Points.
In his demo for KFRY-TV, Shawn was quick to point out that our tools are especially handy for those who don't need or have expensive professional tools around the house. Check out this article and video to see how he used them to easily arrange three pieces of art on a wall.
A big thank you to Shawn and KFRY for trying out our tools. We're glad you found them so handy!

Varsity Football is Ready to Play in 6A
September 8, 2018
With the football season underway, being back in 6A will affect both the team and what the future will hold for Maroon football. 6A might cause more challenges according to the head football coach, Mike Rosenthal, since our competitors have larger student bodies.
"When we decided that we were going to increase enrollment and go to 6A, we were going to embrace that challenge and go after it," head football coach Michael Rosenthal said. "It's exciting to get back into that district. We were there two years ago and with the same district, the same opponent. So not a whole lot has changed since we left."
With old opponents and new challenges, having varsity caliber players up for the 6A challenge and the values they carry is vital.
"The easy answer is, size, speed, and strength and then trickle down to dedication," Rosenthal said. "Obviously, I would probably put dedication and work ethic higher than that. But if I'm an NFL GM, I'm looking at size, speed, and strength first."
With challenges ahead of varsity support from their fellow maroons will be desired more than ever, according to Rosenthal.
"I think being at House Park or any other venue that we play it is it's a lot of fun on Friday night," Rosenthal said. "It's a lot of fun to get the school spirit and get behind the cheerleaders and the red jackets and the band. It's a great environment, especially home games. At House Park, you'd see the skyline but come and see us. We throw the ball around a lot on offense. So it's a fun fast paced game. And defensively, we are really aggressive. So to me, it's a great game to watch"
With the fans support and embrace, the growth and readiness of a new season encourages the team.
"The big thing is just staying positive, I think for the longest time we've had this negative connotation at Austin high where you kind of for lack of a better term want to be a hater," Rosenthal said. "To me a lot of our teams really all of our teams, all of our extracurricular activities put a ton of work in whether it's band, red jackets, cheer, debate, there's a ton of great kids doing a ton of great things on campus and they put a ton of work in and for us."
Rather than focusing on just football, Rosenthal suggests that the students focus on all extracurricular activities to dispense the school's sense of community.
"It's supporting one another it's recognizing how much work they do put in and just being supportive because I think in this day and age it's hard to put yourself out there a lot and you got a lot of kids out there in our school doing positive things and I think we should reward them with excitement and passion behind them," Rosenthal said.

Two weeks ago, I started working with an additional physical therapist, one who works with the mechanics of the spine. While her fingers were placed along the bony protrusions of the sacrum and vertabrae (the spinous processes) I stood and sat, arched and slouched. Diagnosis one: My pelvis is twisted to the left.
No kidding?!?!! That was interesting to learn and even more interesting to realize that I hadn't noticed it before. I had always had a much easier time twisting my torso to the left than to the right, which makes sense because when the pelvis is turned toward the left, it increases the range of motion in that direction. Twisting my torso to the right (to set up for Parsva Bakasana, for example) has always been more challenging. But range of motion wasn't the only place I could experience my twisted pelvis: when I stand with my toes on the same line, my right thigh is about 3/4 of an inch in front of my left thigh.
If that wasn't strange enough, let's move up the spine. The sacrum joins the pelvis at the sacroiliac joint. So while the sacrum may sometimes feel like a solid, unmoving protrusion of the pelvis, it is actually a joint that can tilt in four different directions: anterior right, anterior left, posterior right, posterior left. Because of the twist in the pelvis, my sacrum was twisted back the other way and anterior. When I stood with my feet hips-distance apart, toes lined up, and rolled my spine forward into a forward bend, my torso would get about half way to my toes and then sharply veer to the left. Talk about party tricks.
To reverse the twist in the pelvis, I started working to strengthen my right piriformis muscle (the muscle stretched in half-pigeon pose). When I went back a week later, my pelvis was still twisted, but my sacrum was now twisted anterior in the other direction. Which means that my sacrum is hyper mobile. Imagine someone with hyper mobile elbows or knees for example — when they straighten their arm or leg all the way, it starts to bend the other direction (hyper extension; sometimes called double jointed). This, in a nut-shell, is hyper mobility, and all hyper mobility can put a lot of strain on the joint in question.
So what is the answer? Well, as yoga teaches, the answer is balance. When a very flexible person does yoga asanas, their challenge is to find their strength. For example, I've seen people with flexible backs and shoulders dumping into their armpits or shoulders during downward facing dog. Instead, they should try to create a long, straight spine, keep the ribs tucked into the body and find the strength in the core, shoulders, and legs. I've also seen students who are very flexible in the hips. During a lunge, it's easier for them to collapse into the hips, but rather, they should find the strength in the legs and lower abdomen by keeping the back thigh lifted and uddiyana bandha pulled in. For people with a hyper-mobile sacrum, like me, I have to learn to not compensate in my low back for areas in my body that are tight. For example, my shoulders are tight. When I raise my arms overhead in tadasana, I can't bring them all the way overhead while keeping my shoulders away from my ears . . . unless I arch my back and stick out my front ribs to compensate. I'm learning not to do that and like movements anymore.
I'm learning through my injury that, just as some people follow the idea of a perfect body or a perfect life, I had been following the idea of a perfect posture, one that mimicked pictures in the books. What I've learned is that my body is not ready for all versions of all postures, and that there is no such thing as one perfect posture. A better posture is one that is appropriate for the student and her or his body on that day. As the practice grows, so will the student and her or his body. As we say in yoga, practice makes practice. Practice doesn't, in yoga, make perfect.

Legendary Proteas all-rounder Shaun Pollock has given his firm endorsement for South Africa's chances of lifting the 2019 Cricket World Cup at Lord's on 14 July.
Speaking in an interview on the ICC's website, Pollock (who has suffered through a number of World Cup heartaches with the Proteas during his stellar career) believes the current squad has what it takes to triumph in England and lift the Cup in July.
'There is no reason why South Africa can't win it (even though) there are some strong teams around. We've thought we've had the formula before, but it hasn't worked out, but there's no reason why this team can't come up with the right strategy and perform at the right time and bring home the silverware,' said the former Proteas skipper, who played 31 World Cup matches between 1996 and 2007.

In the ill-fated 1999 World Cup semi-final that broke the hearts of South African cricket fans at home and abroad, Pollock took a sensational 5-36 (econ 3.85) – three of which were caught behind by Mark Boucher – as South Africa bowled Australia out for a modest 213. Pollock scored 20 off 14 balls as the Proteas battled to reach the Aussies' target, which saw last man Allan Donald run out without facing a ball with the scores tied.
The result meant Australia progressed to the final by virtue of the fact that they had beaten the Proteas in the Super Six stage.
Flashback: 1999 World Cup semi
'I think 99 was probably the best performance we put in. Unfortunately, that tie in the semi-final meant we were knocked out, but going to the World Cup with South Africa was always special. We always had a team that had the potential to go all the way. It wasn't like we were ever just making up the numbers, and I think that's what makes it special – it's almost like the Olympics of cricket,' added Pollock.

A Guide To Chester Racecourse
Chester Racecourse is widely-accepted to be the oldest of the UK's racetracks, as well as the tightest, and the tight-bends mean that it is only suitable for flat racing.
The "Roodee" as it is nicknamed has been a venue for horseracing since the 16th century, and it draws crowds from far and wide for what is always exciting racing. Meanwhile, the post-race atmosphere in the town centre is also something to behold, with just a short-walk to the nearest bars and restaurants, and a similarly short-walk to the hotels and bed and breakfast houses that prosper on race-days.
Chester's May meeting is one of the first meetings that race fans pencil in to their diaries, and the Chester Cup is the highlight of this three-day Festival, even though it now takes place on the first-day of the festival, which is the Wednesday. The Chester Cup takes place over two and a quarter miles however, as in most races at Chester, a low-draw is usually a significant advantage. Meanwhile, other notable races at the May Meeting include the Chester Vase, Cheshire Oaks and the Dee Stakes, which are classic trials for the 3-year-olds, whilst the Ormonde Stakes and the Huxley Stakes usually attract some popular older horses.
Some of the popular horses who have won at Chester include, Pentire, Kris Kin, Harbinger, St Nicholas Abbey, Oath, Old Vic, Teenoso, Ruler of the World – and even Shergar.
The Course
Disgruntled punters have often compared Chester to a greyhound track but, whilst that's an insult, the sharp left-handed track only measures slightly more than a mile and, throughout the majority of the races, horses are constantly on the turn. However, if they're close enough to the pace and good enough, there's a two-furlong run-in where many races can turn in the blink of an eye, and I imagine Chester produces one of the highest number of photo-finishes anywhere in the world.
Trainers And Jockeys To Keep An Eye On
Richard Fahey is the leading trainer at Chester in the last 3-years, and he loves to have winners here for local owner Marwan Koukash, however you won't get rich backing all of his runners. Another trainer with a similar profile is local trainer Tom Dascombe, but he again shows a big level-stakes loss. Therefore, the one trainer to really note here is Andrew Balding, whose 22 winners from 96 runners have achieved a level-stakes profit of +24.21.
Meanwhile, jockeys who have the best records here include Richard Kingscote, john Egan and Paddy Mathers, though Graham Lee could be the one to watch as his 7 winners from 30 rides have secured a level-stakes profit of +26.75

Measure Social Media's Impact in 4 Steps
It's the question that's been plaguing marketers since the advent of social media: How do you measure social media's marketing effectiveness? Yet only 11.5 percent of marketing leaders claim that they have proven the impact of social media quantitatively. That's according to the most recent CMO survey of 289 CMOs.
According to the same survey, another 40.6 percent report having a good qualitative sense of social media's impact, but not a quantitative sense. Meanwhile, 47.9 percent report they have not been able to show any impact at all.
The most troubling aspect of this for CMOs is that these numbers have remained relatively stagnant when discussing return on investment from social media strategies.
Despite this lack of an ability to show a quantitative connection between social media and ROI, CMOs still feel pressure from CEOs to measure impact — and with the upward trend of social media's prominence, that pressure is only expected to escalate. While social media spend is currently slated at 10 percent of marketing budgets, it's forecast to rise to 22.4 percent in the next five years.
With this in mind, marketers need to have a successful strategy to accurately measure billions of social data points and turn those into insights — something most CMOs have yet to effectively accomplish.
4 Steps to Measure Social Media's Impact
Though that may paint a bleak picture for the industry, all is not lost for marketers. There are some useful techniques available that will ensure marketers are implementing the best metrics for their clients to measure social media, and are in turn delivering the highest marketing ROI:
1. Set Goals That Align With Metrics
Before you can measure your efforts, it's necessary to distinguish what your campaign's goals are. Once that's established, then you can build subsequent metrics that support those goals. Different goals call for different metrics and tactics, whether you're charged with building awareness for your client or making sales conversions. Metrics need to be validated to ensure they measure what they are meant to measure.
2. Build Dashboards and Establish Appropriate Benchmarks
Realistically, marketers are tracking metrics across multiple different sources as they try to measure social media.
The best way to aggregate these data sources is by creating social media dashboards that show an across-the-board view of how campaigns are performing. Dashboards save time by offering real-time access to performance metrics all in one convenient spot. Once these are built, it's important to establish benchmarks to be able to show clients how far they've come since the campaign started.
3. Invest in Analytics
One of the biggest missteps for marketers is underutilizing the marketing analytics that are available to them. According to a Duke University study, marketers only spend 2.3 percent of their budgets measuring ROI. The reality is that measuring social media's impact requires investing in metrics, which could entail additional employees, agency partnerships, technology, tools and/or customer databases.
4. Have Faith in Your Metrics
There's always going to be a shiny new tool debuting in the market, promising to be a game changer for your social media campaign. Given that many marketers are still having trouble measuring this impact, it's obvious that not all of these new tools are capable of revolutionizing your business. Have faith in the metrics and tools that have proven their value as a best practice and align with clients' goals. Skipping around from metric to metric wastes time, money and resources.
Too many marketers think measuring ROI for their social media campaigns is a pipe dream. However, if you're able to follow these tips for your campaigns, you'll be able to rise above the challenge almost 90 percent of companies today are still facing.

Roller Flight Conveyors typically use parallel strands of chain located on the outside edges of the conveyor. Gravity roller axles are then attached to the chain. These rollers can rotate under the product, permitting the products to accumulate over long distances. This type of conveyor design is very rugged and can deliver many years of service with minimal maintenance. Built as a welded conveyor with CC5 chains and 2 1/2"or 2 9/16" rollers, this is a durable solution for up to 200' of conveying.
Roller flight conveyors are for minimum pressure accumulation, products touch each other as they accumulate on the conveyor. These conveyors are often installed in unused ceiling spaces. Runs as long as 200' to 300' in length can be powered with one drive depending on product weight and speeds.
You can find these conveyors throughout the automotive industry for delivering seats, tires and cockpits to the assembly line. These conveyors can also be found at assembly or accumulation lines when products are set on build pallets or slip sheets.

Most of Paternum is available for free online, but every other arc – the "lesser arcs", as I describe them – is exclusive to donors. They can be read either by becoming a $5+ donor on Patreon or by buying the novelized versions of the books. This page will also serve as a hub to purchase my other books from – Paternum isn't the only thing I'm working on, and whatever serialized story comes after it won't be either.
Arcs 1 and 1.5 – the Swift Uplifting Rush & Drawing Hands were published online between May 4th, 2019 and December 28th, 2019, and as a single novel on January 1st, 2020. They can be purchased from Amazon either as an ebook for $4.99, or as a paperback for $13.99. Alternatively, you can buy an ebook directly from me for only $3.99 – unlike Amazon, I provide .epubs. Ebook versions of these arcs – both combined into one and split into two – are also available to anyone who donates $5 or more through Patreon, distributed through Discord.
The Swift Uplifting Rush & Drawing Hands
In The Swift Uplifting Rush, Quinn is shocked out of their normal college life when they find one of their missing mother's inventions, left behind in the family attic, and it grants them superhuman power that they had never expected to have. Before they can even begin to consider the implications of this, however, the city is invaded by a powerful shapeshifting villain called Legion, who carries a message that could rock the foundations of Quinn's life even without her other nefarious plans coming to fruition...
Future arcs will be distributed similarly – available in paperback or ebook through Amazon, or as discounted .epubs directly from me. Paternum's arcs will continue to be available for $5 patrons, as will exclusive content for serialized stories after Paternum, but other novels will only be available as purchases.

But what if you don't have a village? Or your village is too toxic for your kids? My mother used to say it takes the whole family to raise kids. We lived at home with my grandparents living on the first floor. My parents had six kids, and it seemed like a lot more when you included neighborhood friends, boyfriends, girlfriends (when we were older). My mother had her friends with their own kids who were always around and sporadic visits from aunts, uncles and cousins. It felt like a village, a completely insane one- but a village none the less.
The Ultimate Spring Bucket List for Families
Spring is almost here! I feel like we have been held captive in the house for so long between sicknesses and bad weather. My kids and I are ready to get out and decided to make our Spring Bucket List together!
St. Patrick's Day Treasure Hunt
St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner. Even if you aren't Irish- it is still fun to celebrate! My kids have been obsessed with Leprechaun traps the past few years. They have been a ton of fun to build too! The Leprechaun usually visits us, has some fun and makes a mess. I just do a fun St. Patrick's Day Treasure Hunt and a festive dessert. Nothing super fancy!
Shared Girls Room Inspiration
Lately, I have been trying to think of ways to refresh my home without spending a ton of money. Spring is in the air (maybe when the snow melts) and that always gets me in the mood for some redecorating. Since our youngest daughters are close in age, my girls share a bedroom. We live in a small ranch house so a solo bedroom isn't really an option right now. I have been scouring the internet looking for shared girls room inspiration that would be easy on the wallet. Now that my kids are getting a little older, their room needs to work for them. They need their own space…

LTD. is the agency with whom you need to contact for the bloodstock agents.

A Florida man who had been working at a carnival this past spring in Lafayette faces up to two years in prison for having images depicting child pornography on his cell phone.
Scott A. Reynolds, 41, has been in the Tippecanoe County Jail since his arrest on May 25, jail staff said.
He pleaded guilty today in Tippecanoe Superior Court 2 to two counts of child exploitation, a Class D felony, admitting that girls in the photos appeared to be between the ages of 10 and 12.
Sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 29.
If a judge accepts his plea agreement with the Tippecanoe County prosecutor's office, Reynolds would be ordered to spend another two years on probation after his release.
Deputy Prosecutor Laura Zeman said Reynolds had been working at a carnival in May held outside of Tippecanoe Mall. While here, he visited a strip club in Lafayette.
Zeman said Reynolds was telling one of the dancers about a photo on his cell phone depicting beastiality. As he scrolled through images on his phone to find the photo, the dancer noticed pictures of young girls that appeared to depict child pornography.
The dancer told her boyfriend about the photos, who then reported it to police.
Zeman said Lafayette police, with assistance from a female Purdue University police officer, staged a sting at the carnival. The officer pretended to be a dancer at the same club, and asked Reynolds about "interesting pictures" on his phone.
Reynolds was arrested after allegedly showing the officer the photos.
Under the terms of his plea agreement, additional charges of possession of child pornography could be dropped.

Yesterday was our anniversary. It seems appropriate to mark the day, and there were several ways to do that. He took the day off work, my grocery shopping was moved to this morning, and we left the kids with Grandma for a few hours.
The kids were happy for us, and seemed pleased that we cared enough about our anniversary to make a special day out of it. On the way to Grandma's we took turns telling them the story, "So fourteen years ago today, at this time, we were…"
Fourteen years doesn't seem like all that long, and by long I mean impressive. Five felt long. Seven felt significant. Ten was monumental. Since then it's been a blur of added years. Honestly though, the years you are acquire not achievements, they're gifts.
It's the gift that changes things.

Introduction Adwords Keyword Planner Competition
SpyFu is among the feature rich tools, but has the Least attractive interface out there. SpyFu offers SEO and PPC spy tool options alongside their keyword search tool. Adwords Keyword Planner Competition
Click here to subscribe to Spyfu!
Keyword User and Search Experience
The SpyFu dashboard is laid out using a navigation bar across the top with tabs for SEO Research, PPC Research, Keyword Research, Backlinks, the List Builder, Tracking, and Reports. There is a lot SpyFu can do across the spectrum of SEO tooling, but for this review we're focusing on its own ad hoc research capacities. When a business is seeking to identifying the best possible search engine results pages (SERP) to target with an optimization plan, keyword-driven analysis is the legwork to get pages to rank higher. Keyword recommendations and direction capacities are built in during SpyFu, but I began from the Keyword Research tab.
When testing each tool, I used exactly the Exact Same set of five Keywords to see results differed between every one of my opponents. The five keywords I used were digital marketing pcmag, internet shopping, IT consultant, and small business bookkeeping. I chose this mixture to simulate real world terms that businesses might hunt for (including publishers like PCMag) as well as to find related search results and vulnerable competition websites.
After conducting searches in my five test terms, I found that SpyFu creates and structures its keyword benefits and metrics somewhat differently than Moz Pro, KWFinder, or Ahrefs$82.00 at Ahrefs. Rather than populating a table of related key words with Page Authority (PA) and Domain Name Authority (DA) metrics together with stats on price per click (CPC) and keyword difficulty, SpyFu draws a far more apparent correlation with how much money a keyword is worth. After searching"digital advertising," for example, a separate navigation bar appeared round the top of the results page further breaking down the search results. You can then drill down to keyword overview, related key words, advertiser background, ranking history, backlinks, keyword group, and SERP analysis. That's just for a single keyword query, showing how SpyFu does the most granular investigation into key word data of the tools I analyzed.
Atop the results, SpyFu gave me not CPC for the Keyword, however a daily and monthly cost breakdown as well as how many unique advertisers had appeared on the key word in the last year. I received the exact same degree of cost breakdown once I clicked on the Related Keywords tab, which also enabled me to narrow results employing a left-hand filter menu to a particular price per day, daily search volume, difficulty score, and much more.
At the bottom of the results that are keyword was that the SERP analysis. This broke down every URL from the search results page, even though KWFinder and Moz Pro both provide a much more detailed breakdown in this respect. SpyFu focuses. Results like the Advertiser History chart, a lengthy list and complex diagram of the advertisements appearing on that search page over time, was somewhat too in the weeds for me as a newcomer SEO instrument user. But for digital entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs, SpyFu can be a gold mine. Adwords Keyword Planner Competition
SpyFu Kombat
With SpyFu Kombat you can look at overlapping and website specific keywords For up to 3 sites. For your PPC version you may also see a chart which goes back over a span of a few years showing that the general number of key words being bid on by all three websites. You can also rollover the graph to find keywords specific to only two of those sites if you are feeling the 3rd website may not be doing as good a job (or vice versa) as two of those other websites. It will also show you that the PPC budgets of the sites in addition to the number of organic keywords ranking in the top 50 results for keyword.
When you click it will show you the Key words in whatever bucket you click, towards the right of the chart. It is possible to see and download those keywords for your own use. As you can see I'm on the ads tab however, the choices are similar once you click on the organic tab (on the top box, the organic one at the underside shows you total organic keywords).
Switching between the organic tab and the ppc tab (also as the Overall # of organic keywords + PPC advertisement budget should also give you a good notion of what of the larger sites are more to the PPC or SEO aspect of things which can be a good barometer to look in if you happen to be concentrating on a single area on the other hand.
SpyFu Classic
SpyFu Classic is the"flagship" section so to speak. This is Where you input one domain name on the home page and are presented with a TON of data including:
– Daily AdWords PPC Budget

– Typical Ranking of Ads vs # of Advertisers

– Top Ten Paid Key Word w/ Keyword Ad Background (links through to complete Keyword Ad History instrument )
– Total Paid Keywords

Keyword Management and Reports
Keyword management is baked into SpyFu throughout the platform. Within all its three main research tabs–SEO, PPC, and Keyword–you will find options from the drop-down menus for SEO and PPC-specific keywords, and Keyword Groups. The Keyword Groups features in each tab are fairly similar, populating a table with minimal search volume, CPC, problem rating, and monthly cost. These are SpyFu's four chief metrics where key word research is concerned. On the left of this table are the keyword you've researched and grouped yourself, or top keyword group tips from SpyFu. On the top right of this table you can subsequently add chosen key words to lists, or export your selected keyword as an Microsoft Excel file, CSV, or PDF. This fundamental keyword category performance is similar to SEMrush$99.95 at SEMrush and implemented better in Moz Professional and KWFinder.
Where SpyFu's keyword management capabilities really stand Out are at its List Builder and Tracking tabs. Additionally, this is where SpyFu makes its profound link between SEO and client relationship management (CRM). From the List Builder tab, there is a Best Lists segment with targeted lists of domains and key words like"Assets Which Spend the Most On AdWords," keywords with the maximum CPC. There's also a list of the most expensive keywords, which you can then filter by state, industry, or a particular web-based technology: Ad buying platform, affiliate marketing, email marketing, and internet shopping cart are a few of the options.
Next to Top Lists, there is a dedicated Business Leads tab. This basically acts the same way as a keyword search: You enter a location, businesses and key words, and refine outcomes using filters like AdWords budget and SEO clicks. The research returns a list of leads with that website's monthly ad budget and contact information that is available that can be exported into your CRM or direct management system. I'd like to see SpyFu go a step farther with this and incorporate its SEO lead lists straight using a stage such as Salesforce$75.00 in salesforce.com, but this tool is already ahead of the curve. SEMrush has a beta lead generation instrument, but that's the closest comes to exactly what SpyFu offers.
But, SpyFu incorporated AdWords Templates as Portion of a Google AdWords campaign. The templates consist of prewritten ads for groups that are keyword . The templates can be downloaded by users in the SpyFu site and then upload into a AdWords account.
The system also includes SEO campaign management Using its SpyFu Project Manager tool. SpyFu made this as a project management(PM) feature within the SEO platform for tackling integrated keyword study and rank tracking within a campaign. My SpyFu is only available in paid plans (not the free trial), but it allows you to set up multiple jobs tracking grouped keywords plotted against SEO position, traffic worth, ROI, and numerous different metrics. All you need to do is open the My SpyFu menu and add a new project. It's the greatest and only case in this roundup of SEO-focused PM.
There is also Keywords youstart monitoring that reports back with domain positions and keyword ranking changes and've identified. Utilizing the tab, I was able to set up custom SEO reports in a few simple measures: Enter a domain name then choose if to run a document on SpyFu's suggested domain key words or custom keywords. I entered my five custom key words chose up to five opponents' URLs, and then was given the option to run a report or a recurring report.
This Type of aggressive analysis is another area where SpyFu stands outside, since it also includes a tool called"Kombat" that is offered in the SEO and PPC Research tabs. In the domain of PCMag, I typed in Kombat and the instrument quickly built an interactive data visualization that showed where the top keywords of PCMag overlapped with our competitors. There is also what SpyFu calls for a"keyword universe," listing CPC, CTR, monthly price, and monthly clicks to get core keywords and recommended keywords. This study breakdown is another feature which helps unearth ways for you to acquire an SEO advantage. Adwords Keyword Planner Competition
Together with the SEO functionality of its primary product, SpyFu has introduced a research tool called Nacho Analytics, which offers access to the web analytics of websites. Through this platform, you can view sections traffic, and on-page behavior.
Keyword Ad History
Keyword Advertisement Background will show you, via coded bars frequently the Key words appeared in a domain PPC campaign along with any changes in the ad copy (all of which may be exported into excel). It extends back to 2006 through the Bonus History Button and shows that a year's worth of information.
So it's pretty straightforward, which is exactly what I like about SpyFu Tools. No more over-reliance on"in-house metrics" it's just"here's the ad history of this keyword", plain and simple. If you find a keyword being promoted on by a PPC advertiser persistent then you can look to apply that advertisement copy technique to a market of the keyword that is larger. If I were advertising for"hotels in Oklahoma" I would pay attention to that which ad copy has been successful, over time, for this main/core key word"resorts".
Domain Advertisement History
Except it reveals the domain Ad History is similar to Keyword Advertisement History History of a domainname.
This instrument is useful in Taking a Look at keywords that have been effective for Your opponents (or bigger players on your niche) and which ones they tried and abandoned (which may be ones that you avoid out of the gate). All this presumes the domain you're currently exploring is competent PPC advertiser.
Keyword Smart Search
The Keyword Smart Search tool in SpyFu utilizes term connections, Publicly accessible keyword data, and PPC campaign information to come back a list of keywords associated with the keyword(s) (up to 10) you enter. As you can see, you can also filter look volume, by CPC, and you might also exclude key words.
For me, I prefer to use the Organic keywords found as well as the PPC keywords In SpyFu Classic or SpyFu Kombat. I like to use other tools for pure keyword research (Google tools, Microsoft Ad Center Intelligence, and Wordtracker). Primarily, I feel SpyFu is at its best when employed as a competitive search tool versus a research tool. Adwords Keyword Planner Competition
Pricing and Plans
As I mentioned, SpyFu's Basic plan begins at $33 per Month when billed annually (roughly $39 per month ). Though, unlike other tools within this SEO tool inspection roundup, such as Moz Guru and KWFinder$12.00 in KWFinder, SpyFu doesn't cost by search results. All plans come with an unlimited number of key word, keyword collection domain, backlink, and competitor/domain comparison search results combined with boundless data export. The functionality that you get with SpyFu for the cost is a significant element in the reason we gave it an Editors' Choice, along with the search volumes make the tool even more attractive for ad hoc study.
That is not to say SpyFu doesn't cap anything. The Fundamental Program provides you a capacity of 250 sales leads and domain name contacts, and 5,000 weekly monitored keyword positions, together with 10 domain name reports and 10 pay-per-click (PPC) reports through SpyFu's AdWords Advisor tool. The $78-per-month expert plan (also $58 a month when billed annually) bumps leads and contacts to 500 and weekly monitored keyword positions to 15,000, along with custom-branded reports and accessibility to SpyFu's application programming interface (API).
Ultimately, SpyFu has added a $199 per month Team program (billed annually, or $299 month-to-month) with 2,000 sales leads and domain contacts, 40,000 weekly tracked keyword rankings, and five user logins. SpyFu also comprises a 30-day money-back guarantee. The company has slashed on its pricing because our initial review, which makes it attractive to SMBs.
I find their tools useful for search. I do not use Their Keyword Smart Search which They give (in a simple fashion) at the price points they give is very A nice combination. SpyFu makes its way Each project. Adwords Keyword Planner Competition

And everything about this magical chateau just keeps getting better from there. We never really stopped exploring this seven-bedroom property set in 148 acres of countryside. Outside, the views down the Var Valley and the massive Maritime Alps, over an olive grove are simply breathtaking – you can see why the owners fell in love and restored it, turning it into a holiday home, event space and location house. Because of its secluded situation, it has become a place of interest for celebrities and dignitaries – and furthermore it's the perfect venue for an intimate gay wedding – we were tempted to have our fairytale ceremony in the property's beautiful, medieval chapel! The interior decor includes classical, historical and modern pieces ranging from Roche Bobois furniture, to medieval fireplaces, pillars and stained glass panels. It also features an eclectic mix of art by celebrated contemporary artists from across the world. We loved the stunning gardens containing medicinal plants and rare orchids, among other amazing flora.

November 21st, 2018
Today when students came back from lunch, I was just jumping into my lesson for the day. I asked everyone if they thought they would have enough energy to do 25 jumping jacks or dance for one whole minute. I got them to physically demonstrate if they could do it and there were a couple students who did not participate so I used them as an example. I said that they must not have enough energy to do anything right now and so we will talk about how we can help them get the energy they need!
Students wanted to learn about calories and what that is and so that is what the focus of today's lesson was. This is the first day that I did a demonstration but I am so glad I did because it was a hit! After we watched a video and talked about what energy is and where it comes from and how it is measured, we did a demonstration.
So, I brought in three different foods:
1) Carrots
2) Chips
3) Orange Juice
I put the three foods/drinks at the front of the classroom and asked students to think about and tell me which food would have the most calories in it. Of course, their answer was the chips! I went on to demonstrate what 100 calories of each of these foods looks like.
100 calories of carrots is 2.5 cups of carrots.
100 calories of chips is 10 chips.
100 calories of juice is 1 cup.
I then asked students which food they would choose if they were very hungry but only wanted to eat 100 calories. They chose the carrots because you get way more food!
I was so pleased with how this activity went. We finished class by talking about how many calories different people need in order to live and explained why some people need more calories or energy than others.

|Castle Leslie's gorgeous estate
There aren't that many things which make me break out into an uncontrollable grin, but riding around the Castle Leslie estate on Fernando the hunter on a beautiful late spring day is right up there. A two day trip to a premier equestrian centre in county Monaghan, in the lush Southern Irish countryside, was a very good idea indeed. Eighty minutes drive from Dublin, Castle Leslie boasts a combination of luxury accommodation in the Castle, the Lodge and in self catering cottages plus a leading equestrian centre. The estate has over 300 cross country jumps for all abilities and the riding centre has a first class indoor school, outdoor school, highly experienced instructors and even a virtual horse! They can cater for everything from the novice to the advanced rider in beautiful surroundings. The horses are all, well, happy. They are well schooled and forward going, a dream to ride. They are beautifully turned out, well shod by the regular farriers, and have a visit from the chiropractor every week. I loved my my huge Irish hunter Fernando who gave me lots of confidence, enough even to try a few modest jumps.
|Hot shoe shuffle
The virtual horse Prince is a mechanical version of the real thing and ideal for giving non riders a first go at how it feels to be on horse back without the risk factor. Even so, Eireann my instructor did say some people had managed to slide off him. Prince is also very good for the more advanced rider to try some trickier manoeuvres and particularly useful for strengthening those 'core' muscles that everyone seems to be trying to get to grips with these days. Eireann's opinion was that everyone ought to have one of these in their living room to practice on while watching Coronation Street. My opinion is that it would probably just turn into a clothes horse. Prince's buttons take him from walk to trot to canter and if you kick in the right place you can get the idea of how you might give aids to a real animal. Sometimes Prince just doesn't want to play the game (also like a real horse) and after a bit of furious kicking with no response I managed to get him to leap into life and bolt off at speed, on the spot of course.
|Flying on Prince
The estate around the castle has 1,000 acres of rolling Irish countryside with ancient woodland and a huge glittering lake. 'Glaslough' the name of the village is translated as 'calm or green lake' and here is that very lake where you can fish for pike, take out a boat or just wander your horse into it for a paddle and a drink.
|Sophia and Blue in 'Glaslough'
Ireland is often called the 'Emerald Isle' and with good reason. Just at this time of year the green is at its greenest, with banks of white hawthorn hedges and dark pink rhododendrons fringing the pathways through the early summer meadows. It had been raining and was muddy now and again, but the sun was out for the time that we were there and showed the lush landscape at its best. Orla looked after us on the estate ride and Jenny the Equestrian Centre Manager who runs the whole yard and riding school ( together with her Dachshund, Dylan) gave us lessons on the flat, jumping and over the indoor cross country course.
|Small dog, big ideas
There was even the chance to try riding side saddle. Riding side saddle involves winding your legs sideways through a leather pommel and balancing in what looks like an entirely unnatural position. Ladies had to use these in days gone by as it was considered unladylike to ride astride. Sitting aside apparently dates back to antiquity as a way for women in skirts to ride a horse in a modest fashion while also wearing fine clothing. It has retained a speciality equestrian niche even in the modern world and Castle Leslie is certainly the only place I've come across where you can try it for yourself. Wearing the outfit helps get you into the swing of things.
|Advanced skirt management required
Castle Leslie is unique in that there is no other castle estate in Ireland where the founding family still live there. Indeed Captain Sir John Norman Ide Leslie, the 4th Baronet (known as Sir Jack Leslie) is still in residence. At the age of 97 he can still be seen around the estate having dinner or chatting to guests.
|Sir Jack Leslie
We came upon Sir Jack reading his morning paper in the drawing room but we didn't disturb him. His eventful life has included spending five years in a POW camp in World War II, living in New York and Rome and travelling all over Europe. Sir Jack then returned to his family home aged 78. He spent his 85th birthday in Ibiza and apparently inadvertently revealed the wedding location of Sir Paul McCartney and Heather Mills by admitting to reporters it was to take place at Castle Leslie but that it was "a secret." We did see their honeymoon suite, the red room in the castle. Very nice.
|Home Sweet Home for Sir Jack
Weddings are big business at Castle Leslie. It is a most romantic setting and we were lucky enough to get a tour of the beautiful Castle rooms as they were set out for a wedding that very day. It certainly looked perfect to me with an attention to detail typical of the whole place. A fairytale destination indeed. You can get married in the castle in a civil ceremony but the church on the estate is Presbyterian so Catholics need to visit another nearby church. There are bespoke wedding packages at different prices from the intimacy of the Lodge to the Pavilion at the castle which can cater for up to 260 guests.
|Wedding wheels
We stayed in the Lodge overlooking the stables and were woken in the morning by gentle whinnying and a bit of stomping as the horses anticipated their breakfasts. Our meals were absolutely delicious and as far as possible everything is sourced locally. We enjoyed fine dining in Snaffles restaurant (also frequented by Sir Jack) and my Kilkenny crab starter was to die for. We also tried a local pub in the picturesque village of Glaslough and of course there is one thing you must always try whenever you're going Gaelic..
|Thank goodness it's Guinness!
Apart from riding, there are an incredible amount of other things to do at Castle Leslie. Falconry, hot air balloon rides, clay pigeon shooting, fishing and boating on the lovely lake, and there are even some Victorian Treatment Rooms at the Lodge providing a whole range of pampering beauty treatments. I'll have to try those next time.. Whether you want to hack out, jump cross country or learn to ride from scratch, the riding packages are really good value and the facilities are the best I've ever experienced. It really is quite a special place where you get the warmest of welcomes and the best that Ireland has to offer. Karen the Sales Manager at Castle Leslie summed it up for me when she said 'I don't think I could work anywhere else it's so nice here.'

After doing tests today, we have checked out that the printing quality of the latex 360 is less than the Latex 260. Specially with small letters for label printing text looks like that they are generated in a poor physical resolution (see attached picture, letters around 2mm). It is not a software problem, because Onyx and Flexi are delivering the same quality (as can be seen in the sample picture too).
Nevertheless the printer prints in 600dpi, we have checked out that the processing resolution of the softwares are at maximum 300dpi. Perhaps this should be the reason for that?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Found the solution myself:
All RIP-Softwares I have tested (until now Ergosoft Posterprint, Onyx, Flexi) set the default resolution to 300x300dpi. Reset that resolution to 600x600dpi (I think this don't mean the printing resolution, it means the resolution of the contone file) will solve the problem.
Buenas tardes, prueba subir un poco mas la temperatura durante la impresion. Da el aspecto de que la tinta no esta bien anclada sobre el soporte.
Gaston Gomez
Thank you for your feedback. It is not a problem of the temperature, it is a problem of the resolution of the contone file sent to the printer.
Hi TG-Frank, sorry for the delay, but we've been doing some test in the lab, and our engineers arrived to the same conclusion as you.
They recomend to use 600 dots per inch of render resolution when printing at 8 pass or more, in order to get the best results. They've check it using the Scanvec/SAi (flexi) printing at 16 pass.
The following table may be helpful:
Hi HP-MarcM, thank you very much for testing and confirming.
No problem with a delay of one day . But your table still shows 300dpi as the recommended render resolution.
Could be a suggestion to set new defaults in the recommendations for the drivers. I have tested with Onyx (Beta Driver), Ergosoft (Beta Driver) and SAi, and every of that RIP's defaults to 300x300dpi (Ergosoft shows 300x300dpi as "recommended"). Specially in Onyx it is a little bit uncomfortable to switch to 600dpi on the fly.
I'm happy to see that someone on this platform takes care of questions. We are dealers in switzerland, and one of our sales contacts have sent me to log in here. Good idea.
Recently I did tests both L360 and 26500 using the same files (skin tones) iand the conclusion was as follows (theory): Because the L360 has ONLY ONE printhead for light colors (nobody warn about it) and HP increase the speed sacrifing quality using more magenta and cyan ink in midtones prolfiled curves created for HP infernal software.
Is almost a four color printer using just a little bit of light color in low densities.
The L360 has better dot size BUT use more cyan and magenta in mid and darker tones generating a graininess aspect. The test was conducted using 16 passes in L360 vs 12 passes in L26500 on avery and Ritrama vinyls.
I'm very concernd because I was expecting better quality at better speed with better color. HP sacrificed quality. They increase speed and give us more color consistance.
I think that is necesary add the missed printhead (Lc/Lm), reprofile medias using better curves for midtones using more light colors (through firmware updates).
That's my theory and the case was open recently to know HP explainings.
Hi Edgartriana,
Let me try to help you. The grain on the plots can be caused by several reasons. The most common one is that your printer has "Vertical Correction" active. This feature basically is an algorithm that prevents the printer to get vertical banding on the plots, but sometimes, depending on the media can cause some grain. I will recommend turning it off:
Image-quality maintenance --> Vertical correction.
If the problem persists, I will recommend you to have a look on the "graininess" section of the user guide in which you will find some tricks to avoid this problem. Finally, if nothing works; I will like you to contact with your support team in order to fix the problem.
About the number of Light-cyan and Light-magenta printheads, I've asked the HP Latex 360 engineers about it and this is what they told me:
"The fact of having less Lm and LC printheads has nothing to do with any graininess problems because of:
