Sadly, there are many Americans in the country who are completely unprepared for the extreme warmth of the summer. Many people unfortunately do not even own air conditioning units of their own. In fact, there are also many homeowners who do not prepare their homes with the proper cooling systems needed to combat the extreme temperatures. Referring to information from the Environmental Protection Agency, studies reveal that about more than 9,000 men and women in America have already died from a heat-related event since the year 1979. Sadly, there are also hundreds of Americans who likely experience death from a heat-related event every year in the country. Many people need to understand the seriousness and severity of the consequences that could take place when not having a proper cooling Source in the home. Having an efficient cooling source in your home cannot just help everyone remain comfortable during the heat wave of the summer season, but it can also protect everyone and keep them safe from the extreme temperatures. Some summers can end up reaching temperatures that can make your entire home dangerous to live in and also even remain in just for even the shortest amount of time. This is why it is highly recommended to invest your time and efforts into getting a professional to come into your home and install your next new cooling source.
There are a number of different types of cooling sources that you can get for your home. If you currently or without a cooling source of any kind, you may want to think about doing your research and learning more about the various types of cooling sources that are available to many homeowners today. For example, according to Energy.gov, some of the different types of air conditioners that are available to homeowners today include the: central air conditioners, a window room air conditioner, a ductless mini-split air conditioner and or an evaporative cooler. Of course, there are many different pros and cons to each of these different types of air conditioning units. This is why it may be necessary for you to do your own research on knowing the various types of air conditioning units and what they can provide for you and your home. You will need to learn more about these different types of air conditioning units if you are looking to make a decision based on pricing, effectiveness, efficiency and so forth.
One of the most effective ways to getting the best advice for your new cooling system will be to reach out to your local heating and cooling team. You can conduct some research on the internet in order to locate your local heating and cooling company by looking up any air conditioning irving tx business. After you have completed your research, there should be a list of professional HVAC teams near your home area.
Remember, it may be wise for you to do your research to learn more about the different air conditioning units that are available. Without the use of an efficient air conditioning system, your home can end up reaching temperatures that are more than just uncomfortable but hazardous to your home environment. Prepare your home for the hot summers by getting the right type of air conditioning unit in your home.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – It was almost midnight when newlyweds Andrew Nixon and Julie Stroyne Nixon left their wedding reception at the Pennsylvanian, just across the road.
"We're walking down about here, ready to check into the hotel," says Andrew Nixon, just outside the Westin Convention Center.
"We were just about to go through the doors," Julie adds, "and then we heard somebody scream, 'Does anybody know CPR? Is anybody a doctor'?'"
The couple headed toward the bench where they found a woman, barely breathing.
The brand new bride knew what she was doing. After all, she's a trauma nurse at UPMC Presbyterian Hospital.
"I looked over, and I think my nursing instincts took over," she recalls "And I bolted over to the bench to see if she was all right."
Still in her wedding gown, she began to perform CPR.

"I started compressions right away. They told me she didn't have a pulse."
Gradually, the woman came back from the brink of death.
"She was mumbling, finally, and she tried to get up," says the nurse/bride. "And I just kind of like held her hand, and I tried to make sure she didn't fall."
The woman was doing much better when paramedics arrived to take her to the hospital. This couple has known each other quite a while.
"We grew up playing tennis together," Julie says. "I was six and he was probably eight."
"Both of us wound up winning state championships," says her husband. "She actually won playing doubles with my younger sister."
He proposed to his future bride on a tennis court. But nothing quite compares with saving a life.
"It really did seem that we were in the right place at the right time," Julie says.
"It was a heroic act, but I've known her for long enough, I'm not surprised at all," her husband adds
Julie admits that she "never knew that would happen on my wedding night!"

The past couple of Coke Studio seasons have produced amazing entertainment plus some amazing collaborations from the artistes.
To most this was an opportunity to strike deals that would have not been possible on another ordinary day.
The result was the production of great hits such as Perfect Combo by Joh Makini featuring Nigerian singer Chidinma plus many others and fans could only hope for more.
This week Coca-Cola and its music flagship show Coke Studio announced that it has merged Coke Studio Africa and Coke Studio South Africa to form Coke Studio Africa 2017.
This according to them promises to be a melting pot of music talents bringing together renowned music producers and top-notch artistes drawn from various parts of the continent.
The merger also increases the number of participating countries to 16, up from 11 in previous edition.
This season will broadcast in more than 30 countries across Africa and it will include artistes from South Africa, Rwanda, Angola, Zimbabwe, Togo, Madagascar, Mauritius, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Nigeria, Ghana, Mozambique, DRC, Ethiopia and Cameroon.
The last edition featured Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Nigeria, Ghana, Mozambique, DRC, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Cote d' Ivoire, and Togo whereas South Africa had its own production house.
"Coke Studio Africa showcases Africa's incredible music by combining different artistes and genres to inspire a new generation of African music fans. With the expanded show, we aim to bring the continent alive through a fusion of music and culture that celebrates our diversity," said Monali Shah, the Coke Studio Africa project director.
According to her the language of music is universal and therefore the heartbeat and the soul of many diverse African communities.
"From Bongo, to Kwaito, to Lingala and other genres across Africa, Coke Studio Africa is helping introduce these different musical styles to new communities for the first time, while maintaining a long tradition of Coca-Cola's use of music to build its brands," she said.
She says though there has been a merger, the objectives of the project remains the same as it brings interaction of both artistes and sounds.
"Like the previous editions, Coke Studio aims to inspire and introduce Africa's music talents to a new and wider audience through interaction, collaboration and cooperation amongst musical artists while also building a strong brand connection with Africa's young and growing population," says Shah.
She adds: Africa is full of great music talent in communities, cities and countries, and Coke Studio Africa can give these artists wider exposure, while enabling greater interaction, collaboration and cooperation to create inspirational new sounds
The line-up that is expected to feature during this year's production is rather interesting with some new faces coming up whereas some old faces too have been retained.
Having had a couple of great seasons Tanzania will be represented by new faces who are hot on the continent such as Rayvanny, Izzo Bizness and Nandy.
Ugandan artistes Bebe Cool, Eddy Kenzo, Ykee Benda and Sheebah will look forward to bring some beats from the source of the Nile that will mash-up with the rest of Africa.
Khaligraph Jones will have a case to prove after his recent bleaching scandal left him rather bruised as he teams up with Band Becca to represent Kenya.
Joining on the rich list are Sami Dan from Ethiopia, Nasty C, Busiswa, Mashayabhuqe from South Africa where as Youssoupha from Democratic Republic of Congo, Runtown and Yemi from Nigeria are also on the roster.
Others are Bruce Melodie, Shellsy Baronet and Mr. Bow from Mozambique, Denise from Madagascar, Ozane from Togo and Freeda from Namibia.
Reputable producers have been added to the rich list of artistes such as Yuvir Pillay Nivedan aka Sketchy Bongo and Maphorisa from South Africa, Kiff No beat from Ivory Coast, Nahreel from Tanzania amongst others.
Coke Studio Africa 2017 is expected to air from August in South and Central Africa markets and from September onwards in East and West Africa
Speaking at the launch of this year's edition Lucy Oduor said music has always been the heartbeat and soul of Africa, but the Internet, social media has taken it a notch higher.
"Creativity is taking artists from their communities and cities and allowing them to reach an audience across the continent which is being supported through initiatives such as Coke Studio Africa," says Lucy Oduor the marketing manager, Kenya- Coca-Cola.

SUPERNATURAL: Nightmare logic
A few months ago I made the move from Belfast, Ireland to Vancouver B.C., and I'm really delighted that making that decision is starting to pay off. Recently I've been working on the legendary TV show Supernatural.
It's a show close to my own heart as my Mum used to binge watch it while she was going through chemotherapy – so you can imagine she was excited as I was when I got the gig!
Nightmare Logic was written by Meredith Glynn & directed by Darren Grant. I'm playing Neil & I hope you'll enjoy watching it as much as I did working on it!
Here's a little promo to whet your appetite before it airs this Thursday.
The Truth about Wonder Woman
I had the privilege of playing the role of William Marston, the creator of Wonder Woman, in this show, Robert Kirkman's Secret History Of Comics. Filmed in Canada earlier this year for AMC, it has been a perfect start to my new career adventure over on that side of the world.
It was an eye-opening experience in more ways than one. I learnt so much of the back-story to the creation of the Wonder Woman character and what went into making one of the most successful comics and such an iconic female character.
Robert Kirkman's Secret History of Comics is executive produced by Kirkman and David Alpert (The Walking Dead, Fear the Walking Dead), Bryan and Sean Furst (Daybreakers, Dice), Daniel Junge (Saving Face, Being Evel) and Rory Karpf (The Book of Manning, Dale).
When asked about this project, Robert Kirkman said in a recent interview:
'It's a universe of amazing stories that has been driving pop culture as a whole. Being able to explore the nooks and crannies of this world has allowed me to find out secrets even I didn't know.'
If you are a comic book fan or have a passing interest you'll really enjoy this one. It's currently airing in the USA & Canada but will be available in Ireland & the UK in January!
This Fall…
Early this year I had the pleasure of working on the final season of one of the most exciting TV shows to be produced here, The Fall. I play the role of Michael Ritchie opposite Jamie Dornan, Gillian Anderson and Krister Henriksson.
It's due out later this year, I can't say too much more other than it's going to be a bumpy ride!
It's been a long time since I updated my blog, but I am thankful to report that it's because I have been busy!
And on Sunday 17th of January, I'm going to be starring in episode 5 (Dwarves vs Giants) of hit comedy/musical Galavant, which airs on ABC and is now in its second season.
Although Galavant is only shown in America currently, it is filmed in Bristol. I spent a really enjoyable time on-set being directed by Declan Lowney as I played the part of Tim, alongside actors Joshua Sasse, Timothy Omundson, Vinnie Jones and Nick Frost.
The creative team of screenwriter/executive producers Dan Fogelman (Crazy, Stupid, Love, Tangled, Cars), Kat Likkel and John Hoberg along with the award-winning musical team of composer Alan Menken (The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast) and lyricist Glenn Slater (The Little Mermaid, Tangled) have produced a show that's full of laughs and charm, and I'm really delighted to have joined their bank of featured artists alongside Kylie Minogue, Hugh Bonneville and Robert Lindsay.
Tune in if you can!
Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie
Over the last month I've been working away on one of the funniest and most brilliant experiences I have ever had the pleasure of working on during my career. Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie was great.
When talking to the BBC website Brendan O'Carroll revealed his joy at filming the show in Dublin: 'Following the international success of recent Irish films it's delightful to be bringing Agnes Brown and family back to her rightful home at last. It's amazing to see Mrs. Brown go from radio to books to plays to television and now to film. It just shows that I know a bandwagon when I see one.'
In the film Agnes Brown finds her livelihood under threat from a ruthless developer and she and her family embark on a campaign to save her stall, aided by a motley troop of blind trainee Ninjas (one of which I play), an alcoholic solicitor and a barrister with Tourettes syndrome.
It features all the familiar faces from the popular television show, with cameo roles from former Irish rugby international Shane Byrne and broadcaster Joe Duffy.
Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie is set for release 27th of June 2014. Heres a trailer to keep you going until then!
To Lose Control – Page to Screen and Behind the Scenes
Friday and Saturday will see the culmination of a lot of hard work from a bunch of very talented people.
To Lose Control will have launch screenings for cast, crew, friends and family. The amount of help and support that people and companies have given this project has been overwhelming and I would just like to say a big thank you for all of it!
As you've probably heard before the seeds were sown on this project around this time 2 years ago and 6 months ago, after a long week, we finished principal photography.
This for me is definitely one I'm very proud to be involved with: to collaborate with someone on such a personal project was an honour and I hope I've done the material justice.
Here's a 'Behind the Scenes' video for a bit of an insight into the production:
The screenings will take place on Friday at 5.30pm sharp at Queen's Film Theatre Belfast and at the Moviehouse Dublin Road at 10.30am. If you would like to attend any of these they are both FREE, just email email@example.com and RSVP.
Hope to see you all there!
SOS: The Titanic Inquiry
Next week sees the airing of SOS: The Titanic Inquiry. It will be broadcast on BBC 1 on 16 April at 9.00pm and on RTE 2 on 17 April at 7.00pm.
Produced by Hole In The Wall Gang Ltd for BBC Northern Ireland, this courtroom drama tells the story of the official British inquiry into the sinking of the Titanic and its efforts to ascertain whether the SS Californian ship was in close enough proximity to the doomed vessel to help save some of the 1,517 passengers and crew who lost their lives.
It was shot over five days in the Masonic Hall Belfast and features the talents of Paul McGann (Withnail and I) as well as local actors Stuart Graham (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) and Owen McDonnell (Single Handed).
I will be playing the role of Ernest Gill, an assistant engineer on the SS Californian.
A small newspaper in New England, the Daily Item, printed a shocking story claiming that the Californian had refused aid to Titanic. The source for the story was the ship's carpenter, James McGregor, who stated that his ship had been close enough to see Titanic's lights and distress rockets. By sheer coincidence, on the same day, the Boston American printed a story sourced by the Californian's assistant engineer, Ernest Gill, which essentially told the same story.
It's something different for this Titanic season as it looks at what happened to the stricken vessel from the vantage point of the courtroom. Keep an eye out for it…
New Film – "To Lose Control"
After the success of Desecration last year, myself and Marty Stalker will be collaborating once again on a new film called To Lose Control.
It's probably my most ambitious role to date, as I take on the character of Royal Marine Chris Draper, an Afghanistan and Iraq war veteran who is trying to cope with P.T.S.D (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).
The film explores the once controversial therapy EMDR, (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) used for dealing with P.T.S.D, and how family and close friends all become affected by it.
Plans are to have cameras rolling this summer with some locations around Northern Ireland doubling for Afghanistan. Here's a teaser trailer of what you can expect –
2012 Showreel
New showreel for 2012! It includes some of what I was up to last year thanks to Marty Stalker at Scattered Images.
There is some exclusive footage from movies that will be out later in the year, including Desecration and Coast.

Accelerating Oil Palm Mechanisation in Malaysia : Innovations And Adaptations
Mechanisation is the process of changing from working manually to the utilisation of machinery. In the agricultural sector, machinery plays an integral part of modern agriculture and farming systems. Worldwide, this sector is facing enormous challengers which sustainable land use, energy, water and extreme climate. Therefore, there should be continuous innovations in the development of agriculture machines which should meet these challenges. In the last decade, we have seen many agriculture machines development for other crops that have been modified to suit the oil palm environment.
This book presents some milestones of innovations in the oil palm mechanisation development by the industry and MPOB. Various technologies and its implementations to enhance field operations are presented in the respective chapters. It is hoped that this book will assist readers in the field of agriculture and technology development for oil palm mechanisation. Efficient, for the sustainable development of the oil palm industry.

Controlling the symptoms and effects of secondary breast cancer
The best way of controlling the symptoms of secondary breast cancer is to treat the cancer itself.
Managing pain
People with secondary breast cancer may experience different types of pain. There is a wide range of pain-relieving medications (analgesics).Pain relief works best if taken regularly. Tell your cancer treatment team if your prescribed medications are not easing your pain, as there are likely to be other pain-relieving medications that you can try.
Morphine for cancer pain
Morphine is a commonly used medication for severe pain. The dose can be changed to suit each person. When morphine is used in its proper role as a pain reliever it is given in controlled doses and people do not become addicted.
Ko te morphine tētahi o ngā rongoā e whakamahia ai mō ngā mamae tino kino. Ka taea te whakarite i te horopeta mō ia tangata. Ki te āta whakamahi te morphine hei whakaiti ake i te mamae, ka āta hoatu ngā horopeta ā-tautāwhi, kia kore ai e warawara te tangata.
Radiation treatment for cancer pain
Radiation treatment can be very good at relieving pain caused by secondary cancer in the bone, and can be given as either a single treatment or a number of treatments that are given daily. Radiation treatment used in this way usually causes very few side effects. You will need to keep taking your usual pain-relieving medication as it can take several weeks for radiation treatment to be fully effective.
As your pain begins to improve, you may want to talk to your doctor or nurse about reducing the dose of your pain medications.
Coping with fatigue
Cancer fatigue has come to be recognised as one of the most common symptoms of secondary cancer. It has many causes, from psychological factors such as the stress of coping with the diagnosis, to physical ones such as the side effects of treatment or the progression of the cancer.
"I save my energy for work. No-one knows at work so at work suddenly I'm not Pat with cancer I'm just me." Pat
Each person's experience of cancer fatigue is unique but the following suggestions may help you cope better:
- Tell your doctor about the fatigue, as its cause may be treatable.
- Plan your days so you have a balance of activity and rest.
- Try to have short, achievable periods of exercise each day.
- If you are having a bad day try to accept it and enjoy the good days.
- Take short naps throughout the day.
- Prepare yourself for a special occasion by resting beforehand.
- Try to eat well. If your appetite is poor choose high-calorie foods for energy.
- Choose relaxing activities such as watching TV or listening to music or a talking book.
- Accept offers of help from other people to save your energy for things you enjoy.
Breathing problems
One of the common causes of breathing problems in people with secondary breast cancer is a pleural effusion (a build-up of fluid around a lung). This fluid can press on the lung, making it harder for you to breathe and causing a feeling of breathlessness. This is managed by removing the fluid.There may be other reasons for breathlessness, such as anaemia or a chest infection.
Always seek medical attention if breathing becomes difficult.
The Cancer Society has an information sheet, Breathlessness (being short of breath), that offers suggestions for when you are having difficulty breathing. You can find it on our downloads page.
Nausea (feeling sick)
There is a range of anti-sickness drugs that work in different ways. Let your doctor know if you feel sick, or if the drug is not working. Most anti-sickness drugs take about 20 to 30 minutes to work.
Some women have also found the following suggestions helpful:
- Eat small meals at frequent intervals.
- Avoid fatty or fried foods.
- Rest before and after eating.
- Don't lie flat during or after eating.
- Drink plenty of fluids.
- See a dietitian or nurse for dietary advice.
- Try relaxation exercises.
- Do something enjoyable as a distraction from feeling sick
Dealing with constipation
If you are taking pain relievers containing morphine, if treatment has affected your appetite, or if there is too much calcium in your blood, you may experience constipation.Some ideas that could help are:
• increasing the fibre in your diet by eating fresh fruit (such as kiwifruit, vegetables and grains)35
• increasing the amount of water you drink. Drink at least eight glasses (1500 millilitres) of fluid each day• following a gentle exercise programme.
Difficulty sleeping
People with secondary breast cancer may feel tired but find it hard to sleep. Insomnia can be caused by the side effects of some drugs, anxiety, or pain.
Suggested remedies include:
- gentle exercise such as walking or a simple exercise programme
- developing a schedule of gentle activities or visits from friends so you maintain a normal daily rhythm
- avoiding coffee, tea, and caffeine drinks later in the day
- having a herbal tea, especially before going to bed
- doing deep breathing and relaxation exercises
- taking a warm bath
- having a gentle massage for relaxation
- talking to friends, family/whānau or a counsellor.
If difficulty sleeping is affecting your ability to cope day to day, talk to your doctor for further guidance. Sometimes a short course of medication to help you sleep will help.
"I listen to music and I read a lot – reading is an escape – I go to bed early to read." Alexandria
Anxiety and depression
Feelings of anxiety and depression are often described by people diagnosed with secondary breast cancer. These feelings can happen at any time. You may have trouble sleeping, concentrating, eating and/or getting up in the morning. You may also be irritable or find yourself crying at the slightest thing.
If you are feeling this way, you do not have to ignore it. It can sometimes be hard to acknowledge that you are having difficulty coping. Friends and family/whānau can offer empathy and support, but you may prefer to talk to someone who is specially trained in helping people to deal with emotional distress.
One techniques that may help you include:
Relaxation and visualisation
Relaxation techniques may enable you to relax your body and your mind. You can practise relaxation using tapes at home or by going to a class. Try to get into the habit of noticing the tension in your body and letting it go.
Visualisation means using your mind to create pictures. It is often linked to relaxation. For example, you may simply use it to help you relax by imagining yourself in a favourite place where you feel happy, peaceful, and strong.
Fertility and contraception
You may become infertile, either temporarily or permanently, during treatment. Talk to your doctor about this before you start treatment.Despite the possibility of infertility, contraception should be used (if the woman has not gone through menopause) to avoid pregnancy. This is because there is a risk of miscarriage or birth defects for children conceived during treatment. If you are pregnant now, talk to your cancer treatment team about it straight away.
Muscular tension, exhaustion or increased levels of calcium in the blood (hypercalcaemia) may cause headaches. It is important to let your cancer treatment team know if you are having regular headaches, as sometimes they are a sign that cancer has spread. Symptoms caused by cancer that has spread to the brain can be helped by radiation treatment and/or steroid medication.
Lymphoedema is swelling in an area of the body due to the lymphatic vessels being blocked. In people with breast cancer, the arm and chest wall on the side of treatment may be affected. Causes include the cancer itself, or previous surgery or radiation treatment to the area.
The best treatment for lymphoedema is a programme of exercise, massage, skin care, and a properly fitted compression sleeve or bandaging. Damage to the lymph nodes means it is not usually possible to reverse the swelling and, therefore, the aim of treatment is to control the swelling on a long-term basis.
A specialist breast care nurse or lymphoedema therapist will work closely with you to treat your lymphoedema. Contact your local Cancer Society for details of lymphoedema therapists available in your area. Lymphoedema therapists work in private practices and have a range of charges.
Hypercalcaemia (high levels of calcium in the blood) which occurs due to secondary breast cancer in the bone can make you feel very tired and sick. Other symptoms include headache, increased urination, excessive thirst, dehydration, constipation, feeling disorientated, and drowsiness. You may be admitted to hospital for short-term treatment with bisphosphonates (see bisphosphonates). This quick treatment should make you feel much better within a couple of days. Treatment can be repeated as often as necessary.
Strengthening a weakened bone
If your bones have been weakened by the spread of cancer, you may need regular medication (bisphosphonates) to help maintain their strength. If your bones are at increased risk of breaking, it may be necessary to have an operation to protect the bones from further damage. This is sometimes done before radiation treatment begins to treat secondary breast cancer that has spread to the bones.
Spinal cord compression
Report any of the following symptoms to your doctor as soon as they occur:
- tingling or numbness in arm(s), hand(s), or leg(s)
- difficulty walking
- trouble passing urine
- constipation or diarrhoea.
Early treatment – usually steroids, radiation treatment, or surgery or a combination of these – offers the best chance of avoiding permanent damage to the spinal cord.

So, let´s say we have 150 resistors in a schematic with the same Part Number of the Databook and we want to change these resistors to another Part Number of the Databook.
Which is the fastest way to do this operation?
So, let´s say we have 150 resistors in a schematic with the same Part Number of the Databook and we want to change these resistors to another Part Number of the Databook.
Which is the fastest way to do this operation?
Hi Julian,
here's my way to replace one part number with another:
Disclaimer: I don't take responsibility if your project crashes or something unintended happens. So be sure to create a backup-copy before you follow the instructions below.
1) Edit --> Find and Replace Text (or simply "Ctrl + H"
2) Select Tab "Replace"; in the "Look For" -section, select "Properties only". Then you select the Property you want to change (in my case, it is "DEVICE"), and enter the Partnumbers according to your needs. You can change the scope of the replacement, e.g. "Project" or "Sheet" or "Board".
By now, only the Property ("DEVICE") has changed but in all Parts; in order to update all other properties to match, run a hierarchical verification (as below).
3) Preparations to run a hierarchical Verification: (only to be set up once)
a) I guess, you only have one configuration file for your PADS-databook. Find that file and create a copy named "xxx_Update.dbc" (replace xxx with YourFileName); in my view it's the best to keep it in the same folder.
b) Open Databook and perform a Right Mouse Button Klick next to the "Library" Field
c) select "Open" and find the new created "xxx_Update.dbc"-File. Open that file.
d) Again, perform a RMB-Klick next to the "Library" Field; this time select "Edit configuration"
e) Your configuration should look something like below; you have an "Unique ID" (in my case it's "DEVICE") and lots of other properties. Remove all ticks in the column "Load" except for your "Unique ID" or the property you replaced in step 2.
Now your configuration should look like this:
f) like shown before, RMB next to he "Library" Field; this time select "Save".
4) Run a hierarchical Verification:
a) select the icon "Verify all Components in the current design" as shown below.
(This might take some time, so don't worry when nothing happens for a while)
b) select the Icon "Update all Unique Matches" as shown below
(Again, this can take some time)
c) select the Icon "Update Design" as shown below
(And once again, get some coffee, get a smoke, and don't worry.)
Now all properties should be updated, so take a look on several of the parts you updated to verify. I hope this helps you out.
Kind regards,
This is the way I do it:
1) Select all the parts to be changed
2) Click on the new part in DataBook
3) Click on "Annotate properties to selected components"
(this must be enabled in databook>configure>properties>Selected Component Annotation)
"Load into databook" is another way to do it....
Hope it helps….

(covers information from several alternate timelines)
Cranial trauma or a head injury was a term used for when a person was hit on the head violently or suffered from an injury from hitting their head.
Leonard McCoy suggested the head injury of Montgomery Scott as a possibility for his memory loss while on Argelius II. (TOS: "Wolf in the Fold")
In 2365, Doctor Katherine Pulaski was able to exclude a head injury as the reason for the unconsciousness of the doppelgänger of Jean-Luc Picard. (TNG: "Time Squared")
In 2366, Beverly Crusher ruled out cranial trauma as the cause of Patahk's neural pathway degeneration due to the absence of it. (TNG: "The Enemy")
When Commander William T. Riker was undercover on a mission on Malcor III, he suffered from head injuries he gained during an escape attempt out of the Sikla Medical Facility. (TNG: "First Contact")
In 2369, Doctor Julian Bashir examined Chief Miles O'Brien after he had been found to be suffering from aphasia. Bashir could not find any signs of cranial trauma, which, along with a stroke, was usually a possible cause of aphasia. It was later discovered that O'Brien had contracted aphasia from a device planted on the station in 2351 by Bajorans when it was under Cardassian Occupation. (DS9: "Babel")
In 2371, a representation of Benjamin Sisko that Bashir encountered in his mind following a Lethean telepathic attack told a nurse to give a patient with cranial trauma inpedrezine after treatment with an osteogenic stimulator. (DS9: "Distant Voices")
Commander Chakotay suffered from a head injury after he crash landed on a planet in the Nekrit Expanse. (VOY: "Unity")
In 2373, The Doctor's "daughter" Belle hit her head playing parrises squares and suffered severe cranial trauma that compromised her brain stem and motor cortex. (VOY: "Real Life")
Seven of Nine suffered from a severe head injury after she received a bullet into her head, a centimeter next to her brain. (VOY: "The Killing Game")
In 2375, B'Elanna Torres suffered cranial trauma amongst other injuries while running holoprograms with the safety protocols turned off. (VOY: "Extreme Risk")
In a different timeline, Chakotay told Seska about retaking Voyager while suffering from a head injury. (VOY: "Shattered")

Vision support service
What is meant by visual impairment
Eyesight problems that can't be fully corrected by wearing glasses or contact lenses or by having an operation are called 'visual impairments'.
Children and young people with vision impairment have varying levels and types of vision loss which might affect near and distance vision (visual acuity), peripheral vision (visual field), making sense of information taken by the eyes (visual processing) and or eye movements.
A visual impairment can affect a child or young person's optimal development, learning and achievements unless adaptations are made in the methods of presenting learning experiences, materials and the learning environment.
Children and young people with a visual impairment may be certified and registered by a medic as either Sight impaired (also known as partially sighted) or severely sight impaired (formally referred to as blind) depending on the degree and type of impairment.
Some children become Sight impaired (partially sighted) or severely sight impaired (blind) following an illness or accident, while others may have been born blind or with a partial or severe sight loss.
Aims of the Vision Support Team
- To provide teaching and advisory support to children and young people in Leicestershire who have a visual impairment, their families, schools and other relevant professionals.
- To raise awareness of the barriers to learning and inclusion experienced by children with a visual impairment in order that they can achieve their full potential.
- To empower and enable educational settings to meet the desired outcomes for children with a visual impairment.
Partnership with Parents/Carers
- The Vision Support Team works closely with the families of visually impaired children and welcomes opportunities for them to influence and contribute to their child's development and education.
- Parents/carers have an expert knowledge of their child and their insight and understanding is valued. The teacher of the visually impaired aims to work in partnership with parents and carer's to help to reduce the effect of the child's visual difficulties on his/her development and education.
- Parents are invited to contribute to the assessment process and copies of initial assessment reports, statutory advice and annual review reports will be sent to parents/carers who will have the opportunity to discuss these documents with the specialist teacher.
The Vision Support Team supports children and young people with a range of sight conditions from birth to the end of education, depending on the level and type of support needed. Children and young people can be referred or re-referred to us at any time by parents, schools or medical staff.
The criteria applied when considering acceptance of referrals are that the child has or is suspected to have a visual impairment resulting in a significant near or distance visual acuity loss, a reduction of visual fields or other functional visual disabilities which affect or are likely to affect his/her general development educational performance and rate of progress.
A specialist teacher of the visually impaired will assess your child's functional level of vision and establish how they cope with day-to-day activities at school and nursery.
Families of babies and toddlers who have a significant vision loss are also supported at home to help encourage good vision use.
After the initial assessment, the specialist teacher of the visually impaired will recommend ways that your child can make the most of the vision they have and discuss these with you and your child's nursery or school.
The specialist teacher of the visually impaired might also refer your child to a 'habilitation' specialist to help them develop their skills in getting around on their own and other life skills.
The type of provision offered by the Vision Support Team:
- Assessment of children and young people's functional vision to determine how their visual impairment affects their performance and abilities.
- Interpretation of ophthalmic information and its educational implications for pupils.
- Direct teaching and non-teaching support for children in their homes, and/or educational establishments.
- Assessment for specialised materials, equipment and strategies to enhance learning opportunities.
- Specialist advice and training for parents, teachers and other professionals.
- Recommendations for the provision of specialist technology to aid access to the curriculum.
- Where appropriate, tuition to develop touch typing/keyboarding skills to enable children and young people to record their work efficiently
- Referral to a habilitation officer to provide appropriate mobility, orientation and independent living skills programmes.
Early years
- Support for families of children with a visual impairment including home visits to offer advice and direct support in maximising opportunities for the use of vision and development.
- Pre-school support from an Early Years Practitioner depending on the child's level and type of need.
- Pre-school families may attend a stay and play offered by the Vision Support Team where they are able to meet other families who have a child with a vision loss
- Transition into school advice and support
School leavers
Support and advice to families, young people, further education settings and employers to aid transition and access to learning.
The Vision Support Team works in partnership with other members of the STS as well as with other professionals from education, health and social care where appropriate, to provide coordinated and effective support and advice for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in Leicestershire.
In particular, its work is supported and enhanced by the Assistive Technology for Education Support Team (ATfest) who amongst other services, play a key role in developing specialist resource materials, working with pupils to develop keyboard skills and providing advice about assistive technology.
Support groups and activities
Family Information Directory has local support groups and activities for your child and your family.
Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) has information for parents and carers of blind and partially sighted children.

You may have heard the terms 'food loss' and 'food waste' but what do they really mean and what is the difference? In this post I will refer to food loss as the reduction in edible food that occurs in the supply chain between production and retail; and food waste as food losses that occur between retail and consumption caused by retailers' and consumers' behaviours. Food loss and waste (FLW) is a more general term used to describe a reduction in food mass originally intended for human consumption, at any stage of the food chain, due to any cause.
This article will discuss issues surrounding food losses and waste on a global and a national scale as well as suggesting how governments, retailers and we as consumers, can change our habits and make steps towards reducing our food waste.
Global FLW
It is estimated that each year around the world a massive one-third of all edible food produced for human consumption never reaches a human mouth. This equates to roughly 1.3 billion tonnes of food annually either lost in the supply chain for various reasons or thrown out by supermarkets and consumers. Despite this, there are still almost 800 million (1 in 10) people across the world suffering from hunger. The world's hungry could be fed almost three times over with this completely edible food which is recklessly discarded. This emphasizes the scale and complexity of the issue of FLW, and the need for further waste reduction policies to be implemented. In an ideal world, this food could be simply re-distributed to those in need, however the infrastructure in place does not allow for this, and the industry does not work by providing food to those with the greatest need, but instead, to those with the greatest wealth. Ensuring food security for the entire population is a mammoth task, and not one that can be solved by simply redistributing rejected food.
Food losses and waste are a product of a failed food system and highlight the lack of sustainability and environmental concern in food production and distribution. FLW occur at all levels of the food supply chain as can be seen by the figure below. In developing countries FLW arise mainly in the harvest and post-harvest stages of the food chain. This may be as a result of a number of factors including premature or delayed harvesting due to lack of information and poverty; inadequate infrastructure for transportation and storage; and poor farming techniques leading to loss of produce. On the other hand, it is at the consumer level in the developed countries of the Western world that the biggest proportion of food is wasted. Consumerism combined with lack of knowledge about storing food and cooking with leftovers, confusion about best-before and use-by labels, lack of awareness about the implications of food waste and a general ignorant attitude culminate this serious problem.
The UK is one of the worst contributors to food waste worldwide, with post-farm gate food waste totalling 10.2 million tonnes, approximately 11% of the EU total. Household waste makes up a large proportion of this figure, with 20% of the food bought by European households going to waste. WRAP (the Waste and Resources Action Programme), reported UK household food waste to be 7.1 million tonnes, 5 million of which were said to be avoidable. The total cost of this food waste is a massive £15 billion, or roughly £840 per year for a family with children. This is money that could have been saved by being more conscious of waste when doing the weekly food shop. The emissions generated from the production, storage, distribution and packaging of this food totalled 22 million tonnes of CO2, the equivalent of running 4.5 million cars for a year.
How can we justify all this wastage when over 10% of the UK population struggle to afford to eat and 4.5% of people aged over 15 face severe food insecurity? Food insecurity describes a situation in which a lack of resources or finances, means that meals must be foregone as there is a limited access to food. The Food Insecurity and Experience Scale (FIES) seen below is a measure of the level of food insecurity.
Source: FAO – http://www.fao.org/in-action/voices-of-the-hungry/fies/en/
In the UK currently, much of the surplus food from manufacturers and food processors is used as animal feed or is anaerobically digested to produce biogas and biofertiliser rather than going to people in need. This problem has arisen since there are several Government incentives to support anaerobic digestion, but none for the redistribution of food to people going hungry. The waste hierarchy, seen below, has been incorporated into UK law and aims to support UK businesses in primarily minimising waste, but also reducing the environmental impacts of any waste produced. It encourages redistribution of surplus food to people in need which helps to tackle hunger and poverty as well as waste reduction.
Source: http://www.wrap.org.uk/content/why-take-action-legalpolicy-case
What is already being done to tackle food waste?
In recent years, individuals, retailers and other businesses in the food supply chain have started to recognise food waste as a real problem. This has resulted in action from a variety of groups including charities such as FareShare who are the UK's largest food distribution charity. FareShare's redistribution of frozen food to other charities has grown by 60% in the last year. This exemplifies that steps are being made in the right direction, but also highlights the potential opportunities for other businesses to follow suit and continue the positive work that is already taking place.
Between 2007 and 2015 there was a reduction of annual household food waste from 8.1 million tonnes to 7.1 million tonnes, a decrease of roughly 13%. This data suggests that consumers are making more conscious decisions to reduce the unnecessary waste that ends up in their kitchen bin.
Other examples of positive changes, aiming to reduce food waste include:
- Campaigns such as Love Food Hate Waste which aim to publicise the extent of food waste, highlight the importance of reducing it, and empower individuals to make small changes at the household level. Their website has lots of handy hacks from recipes using vegetable peelings to how to store foods effectively in order to give them the longest life.
- Incentives such as 'wonky veg' being sold in supermarkets, leading to a huge reduction in food loss from food production. Retailers in many countries have such strict cosmetic standards which must be met in order to reach the supermarket shelves.
- Community fridges which are a great way of enabling businesses and communities to share food that would otherwise go to waste. These are beginning to pop up all over the UK, and anyone is able to set one up themselves!
- The UK Government recently allocating £15 million to the Department for Environment and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) in order to tackle food waste. A pilot scheme to address surplus food from production and retail which aims to redistribute the UK's food surplus to those in need has been developed and is running throughout 2019/20.
What more can be done about food waste?
As can be seen by all the aforementioned examples, individuals and communities are beginning to take some responsibility and express concern for the vast amount of FLW we generate. However, in order to resolve this colossal problem, changes need to be implemented on a global scale with all levels of the food supply chain dedicated to reform.
Further suggestions for reducing food waste include:
- Councils enforcing the use of compost bins and separation of food waste to reduce the amount going to landfill.
- Tackling supermarket surplus by introducing laws around how much food they can have on their shelves.
- Investment in optimising re-distribution of edible food waste to those in need.
- Governments enforcing laws to prevent retailers from setting such strict specifications and cosmetic standards for farm produce.
- Encouraging consumers to buy only what they need, plan their meals, freeze leftovers, and use all parts of foods such as cauliflower stems and leaves.
- Incentivising purchasing of seasonal and local produce.
Drastically reducing food waste and implementing a more sustainable food system would go a long way to achieving food security and food justice around the world. This will have a wide range of positive impacts including more disposable income for consumers, fairer prices for farmers' produce, preventing more land being cleared to grow crops or rear livestock, and fewer greenhouse gas emissions being generated from excess production. Since almost 70% of the UK's food waste is created by households, taking it upon yourself and encouraging others to make changes at home, using some of the ideas above, could just make all the difference in achieving this goal.

Commuters making their way through Melbourne's Southern Cross Station were greeted by large concrete bollards on Friday morning that had been installed overnight as part of Victoria's increased security measures.
The Age reported that more than 50 of the bollards were strategically placed around the station's major entry points in an effort from the state government to prevent similar vehicle-style terror attacks that have occurred in London, Niece, Stockholm and Berlin.
Up to 140 of the anti-terror bollards were placed across eight prominent Melbourne sites overnight including the Queen Victoria Market, Flinders Street Station and Federation Square, 3AW reports.
The installation of the blocks follows the allocation of $10 million in the Victorian state budget to increase security measures across the state after Dimitrious Gargasoulas, 26, allegedly drove his car into crowds of pedestrians in Melbourne's Bourke Street in January, killing six people.
Since the construction of the bollards in Melbourne, barricades set up in Martin Place have also been seen by Sydneysiders on Friday afternoon in a move a City of Sydney spokesperson told HuffPost Australia is "to block vehicle access in response to security concerns".
"The City of Sydney takes advice from NSW Police and state emergency services on issues of public safety, including the installation of bollards and barricades to block vehicle access in response to security concerns," the spokesperson said.
"As part of our ongoing work to review and strengthen security in public spaces, the City is currently installing concrete barricades in Martin Place, between Phillip and Elizabeth Streets. This is not in response to any specific threat.
"Temporary barricades have been installed in Martin Place while the City considers more permanent measures, such as bollards, garden beds or other landscaping features."
The Victorian bollards received mixed reactions from Melburnians, with some commuters telling 3AW they thought they were "unnecessary", while others believed that they were a product of "a reality we have to live".
A city worker told Fairfax that he thought the concrete blocks were "absolutely hideous".
"What next -- barbed wire? It doesn't look good at all," he said.
"Safety is paramount, but I'm sure there's other ways of controlling safety around the city
"The world's most livable city, and now we're having concrete bollards everywhere. The design's not good, hopefully it's temporary."
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced that the bollards were to be installed earlier this month following Brighton's deadly siege.
Andrews said that despite their undesirable appearance, a rapid response was needed to ensure the safety of Victorians, with there being "no time to be wasted".
"We weren't going to wait around for six months or twelve months while planter boxes are built so they look better," he said.
"The threat of terror -- the threat of hostile vehicle attacks, the threats to public safety -- are all too real."
The barricades in both Sydney and Melbourne also come following word from the Gold Coast City Council that the city is planning to install 16 "heavy duty retractable bollards to protect visitors and residents at large scale outdoor events" by the end of 2017, in preparation for the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
Gold Coast City mayor Tom Tate said: "These high-impact bollards can repel the force of a large heavy goods vehicle, stopping it in its tracks and saving lives.
"I have committed $500,000 in the 2017-18 budget to purchase the first of these bollards for Surfers Paradise for large crowd events such as schoolies, the GC600, fireworks displays and New Year's Eve celebrations."
The reports come after Adelaide also made the move earlier this year to install permanent bollards in Rundle Mall in order to increase security and control traffic flow to the area.

Hundreds defy human pyramid ban at Indian Hindu festival
Hundreds of people attending a Hindu festival in India's western Maharashtra state on Thursday defied India's Supreme Court order limiting the height of human pyramids due to safety concerns.
Members of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) regional party wearing T-shirts reading "I will break the law" formed a human pyramid 49 feet (15 m) tall in Thane district at a Janmashtami celebration marking the birth of Hindu deity Lord Krishna.

SEE ALSO: Leopard breaks into hotel room in India
India's Supreme Court on Aug. 17 upheld a lower court's decision banning youths under 18 from participating in the ritual and restricting the height of the human pyramid to 20 feet (6 m).
The pyramids invoke Krishna who, according to tradition, formed human pyramids with friends to break pots of butter or curd hung from the ceilings of houses so that they could steal the contents.
Maharashtra's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) said that it would ask the court to reconsider its order.
"Government has taken note of all the feelings. We will once again approach the court but this time we have to respect the court and we have to take people with us," said BJP leader Kirit Somaiya.
In Mumbai, Krishna devotees lay on the ground in a human chain to protest the court order. Another group used a ladder to reach a curd pot and raised black flags in a show of protest.
Hundreds of people are injured every year while forming human pyramids as competition builds up to see which group can make the highest pyramid. Children are used to climb to the top levels without any safety harnesses.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Since March, an official for a national federation of health charities has been talking to corporations in Charlotte, trying to persuade them to let it be part of their annual workplace-giving campaigns.
So far, Virginia-based Community Health Charities has not had any takers, but Dave Griffiths, its Louisville-based director of corporate development for the mid-South, says at least three companies are continuing to talk about adding the federation to their workplace campaigns next year.
"It's a long process to add another federation or another campaign," he says. "They are open to conversations about adding us in 2009."
With 36 affiliate offices throughout the United States, Community Health Charities last year raised $70 million for 51 national charities and for roughly 1,200 statewide charities in those states, including 37 in North Carolina, seven of which are based in Charlotte.
Cracking a new market like Charlotte can be tough, Griffiths says, because employers often are "concerned about how it would affect United Way giving."
But adding the federation to a company's workplace campaign, he says, can increase the number of employees who give and the total dollars they give.
"Studies have shown that when you add more choices to the employee campaign, giving will go up," he says.
"We want employers to understand it's not just a United Way campaign," he says. "It's an employee-giving campaign. They should be encouraged to embrace more choices."
He says health agencies for which the federation raises money, such as Easter Seals UCP North Carolina, the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, are not members of United Way.
Community Health Charities does have a partnership with Triangle United Way in the Raleigh-Durham area.
After the separate United Way affiliates in Durham, Orange and Wake counties merged 10 years ago, the consolidated group invited Community Health Charities to participate in the annual workplace campaign it held at local employers, Griffiths says.
In 2001, Community Health Charities raised $960,000 through that partnership, he says.
But the next year, he says, United Way did not list the federation as part of the brochure distributed to corporate employees for workplace campaigns but instead included information about it in a separate insert.
That year, giving to the federation through the United Way partnership fell to $250,000, and it since has averaged $175,000 to $225,000 a year.
In addition to raising money for health charities, he says, the federation also provides free educational programs at companies that sponsor workplace campaigns. The programs are designed to help employees improve their overall health and well-being.
This fall, after conclusion of the annual drive for United Way of Central Carolinas, Griffiths says, Community Health Charities plans to host a breakfast or lunch for CEOs and corporate-giving officers at Charlotte corporations.
"We encourage people to embrace additional choices for their employees for their workplace giving," Griffiths says.

Rebel Wilson & Skylar Astin Give Us Some Never-Before-Seen BTS Clips Of Pitch Perfect Rehearsals
Pitchmas isn't over yet! Thanks to Pitch Perfect alum Skylar Astin, we have brand new Barden Treblemakers content to enjoy, even though the guy group doesn't appear in the third film.
Astin, who played Jesse Swanson in the first two films, posted never-before-seen rehearsal clips from before the acapella franchise was even a franchise.
In the clips, Astin is joined by Adam DeVine (as Treblemakers leader Bumper Allen) and the rest of the group, minus Tony winner Ben Platt, "who was probably at a fitting or something," Astin wrote. They run through movements for "Right Round," which they performed at the ICCA Regionals and their "Bright Lights Big City" and "Magic" mashup, performed at the Finals. The moves aren't quite as tight as they are in the film, with some shouted-over commands and reminders, giving us a unique look at all the work that goes into a second place act.
Rebel Wilson has also released never-before-seen footage of a 2011 Barden Bellas rehearsal on her YouTube channel, in which Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow and the rest of the ladies practice their ICCA Regionals and Semifinals routine of "The Sign," "Eternal Flame," and "Turn the Beat Around."

Page 3 of 5 ... June 2004 - September 2004
With the rear half of the truck taken care of, we turned our attention to the front. The first step was to remove the front sheetmetal in preparation to strip the front end down to the frame rails. The front fenders, inner fenders, and doors were all replaced with new GM parts back in 1989 and they were still in very good condition. I just had to sand the old paint off and re-primed them to get them ready for the new paint job. The hood and radiator support were original to the truck and both needed a little bit of work. I had to sandblast the radiator support to remove some surface rust. And the hood has some small rust holes along the front edge that I'll fix later.
One interesting thing to note here is the engine color is Chevy Orange. Most 77 engines (like the one in my 77 Nova) were painted GM Corporate Blue. This truck was built early enough in the 1977 model year to still have an orange engine though.
Continuing to strip down the front end, we pulled out the engine and were getting ready to remove the transmission and transfer case when this photo was taken.
Here is the firewall cleaned down to the original paint and bare metal. Note the "802" written on the firewall. I believe this is some sort of sequence or order number as it was also written on the radiator support and the backsides of the interior door panels. It was originally written in white but most of the paint had come off in that area leaving dark looking surface rust.
The rebuilt TH350 transmission and NP203 transfer ready to go back in the truck. I installed a MileMarker part time conversion kit in the transfer case and painted the cast iron housing with some silver POR15 followed by a coat of Plasti-Kote cast iron grey.
The front half of the frame was stripped down and repainted the same as the rear half. We didn't have enough room in the garage to pull the cab off the frame so I simply jacked it up enough to clean and paint the portion of the frame under the cab. New front springs, shocks, brake lines, and fuel lines were also installed at this point.
And here is the re-painted firewall. I duplicated the original "802" marking with a tire crayon and also re-sprayed some undercoating sealer in the same locations as was done from the factory.
Some of the engine parts removed and ready to be cleaned and painted.
The freshly rebuilt 400 back in the truck. It fired right up on the first crank! We ran it for about 25 to 30 minutes at around 2000 to 2500 RPM to break in the new cam.

A cold, driving rain, harder than when we left the house, greets us as we leave the grocery store, and Katie and I pull our hoodies down lower to cover our faces. My glasses fleck up with droplets that scatter the streetlights into sparks across my eyes.
I find myself thinking of having to walk the dog in weather like this: the reluctance of a smart, stubborn, slightly demented dog to get wet, the ages that she would take to pee while I stood, soggy and bored, waiting for her to figure out the exact spot on which she wanted to do her business.
It's only been a little over a year, and still I'm amazed at how so little time has passed, and how far away she seems, and how I miss her.

Installing carpet requires a complicated knowledge of people expertise, specialised capacity, and craftsmanship.
The regular most often utilised sort of carpet set up is over foam. Prior to the carpet or rug is place down, cushioning need to normally be laid first. Padding offers more support for the feet and holds the rug from sliding, which assists stop slips, falls and spills.
For wall-to-wall carpeting set up, essentially the most typical approach is usually to lay wood finish pieces around the perimeter with the space. The finish pieces have pins attaching up that get the carpet and grasp it put in place. The tack strips are secured towards the floor using tiny nails, which leave behind holes in the floor when the carpet is taken off. The padding is also generally either nailed or stapled towards the ground.
No padding is utilized in Direct Glue down installation. Glue is dispersed on to the floor, the carpet put down and all seams are produced. The glue creates a lasting bond in between the carpet and floor. This sort of set up is among the most commonly used with industrial sort carpets. With residential uses it would be made use of in kitchens, cellars and garages and in open air situations like decks.
Carpet can be seamed and clipped to suit wall to wall without having getting hooked up to the floor in a Loose Lay Installment. Binding could be put to use (commonly this can be an in retailer support and also the carpet might then be shipped to you directly on completion) to get a good completed end. This sort of construction is excellent in flats where land lords will not allow installation of new carpeting, floor tile products and wooden floors that you simply don't wish to harm by using set up operations, or scenarios where you will want to bring your carpeting together with you after you relocate.
Stair Installment Styles
The Waterfall system will be the most typical set up style for actions . In this approach the carpet is brought across the rounded nose with the tread and drawn down in to the crotch in the base of the riser.
Upholstered methods are made use of within the identical manner as in waterfall actions using the exception that the carpet is attached to the bottom in the riser initially and then brought lower the surface with the riser to the crotch beneath. This can be a more completed searching strategy and defines the step additional.
A Runner can be a carpet strip just a bit narrow from the step which is put in over the middle with the stair case leaving exposed wood on each edges. The perimeters of the runner may be bound or switched under along with the flow in the runner more than the riser is usually in both of the types mentioned above. This technique could be perfect when you possess well-polished wooden flooring that you may prefer to be seen but you would also like to enjoy the coziness and warmness of carpeting.
Capped installation is applied in case the staircase has got some or all the stairs open finish (viz. not reaching a wall). This kind of extremely personalized technique of installment would be the most sophisticated when completed effectively.
Examine the texture, colour, and layout, be sure you will find no apparent imperfections prior to construction. The carpet must be power-stretched to minimize wrinkles and rippling. Joint ends have to be sealed with suitable epoxy to prevent delaminating and complication. Buying your carpet from an accredited Seal of Approval store will ensure an expert set up. A quality installation is vital for the carpet's overall performance and can protect your in house air quality.
