To get into computer music production, the first thing you'll need is not surprisingly, a computer. Even cheap desktop and laptop computers should be able to handle a recording project from recording through to mix and mastering. However, three things will determine the maximum workload capacity of your system.
- A CPU with a higher core count deals better with more processes running simultaneously. If you want to record with large track counts and many plugins, try and aim for at least a decent quad core CPU.
- RAM is the most limiting factor on the amount of tracks and plugins you can run at one time. 64-bit software allows you to make the most of your RAM. At the time of writing, 8 GB of RAM is the minimum you will need for a decent recording system, 16 GB or more is better.
- The more hard drive capacity you have, the longer you can record for. If you can, try to record to an internal hard drive, as external drives have slower read and write speeds and using them while recording can lead to crashes. You can always move the project to an external drive later on when you need more space on your internal drives. Always back up your projects to external drives. There is nothing worse than losing all of your work because of a faulty drive. Regarding the question of whether to get a Mac or PC, go with the platform you are most comfortable with, it doesn't make a lot of difference. As long as you take good care of your computer and make sure to run regular virus scans (yes, Macs can get viruses too), you'll be fine.
The next thing you'll need to decide when getting into computer recording is what Digital Audio Workstation or DAW to use. If you're confused, don't worry. DAW is just the technical term for recording software. If you have a Mac then you've already got a powerful piece of recording software on board with Garageband. However, don't fret if you're on PC. There are great free options like Ardour or Podium Free that come with all of the basic tools you'll need to get started. If you want something with a bit more than just the basics, most DAWs have a free trial period in which to try them out.
Here are some of the more popular DAWs with a brief explanation:
Pro Tools (Mac and PC) – Pro Tools is the "industry standard" DAW for recording, mixing and mastering. You'll find Pro Tools in most professional studios around the world. One of Pro Tools more handy features is the ability to manually edit audio wave forms within the track view, rather than having to export it to another program.
Logic (Mac) – Essentially the big brother of Garageband and another solid choice for studio recording, mixing and mastering. Logic has excellent MIDI editing capabilities and is useful in theatre production when combined with its sister program, Mainstage.
Ableton Live (Mac and PC) – Ableton Live is a DAW with a large emphasis on live music production. DJs and performers make use of its unique session view to launch audio clips at the push of a button.
Reaper (Mac and PC) – Reaper is another DAW that is a solid choice for recording, mixing and mastering. It is one of the few DAWs that records at extremely high sample rates such as those achievable with the Roland Super UA interface.
Once you've picked which DAW you want to try, the next step is learning how to use it. Quite a few DAWs have tutorials built right into their help sections, but if your DAW of choice doesn't, YouTube, recording magazine websites and DAW communities have some great beginner to advanced tutorials that will get you up and running in no time.
So you've got your computer and DAW sorted. Now you need a good audio interface to handle all of the input and output of your recording. While you definitely can record with just the internal sound card built in to your computer, you will run into issues with crashing and latency (the amount of time it takes for a sound you record to transmit to your computer and back out to your headphones or speakers), especially once you start getting into higher track counts. Check out Simon Ayton's article for a rundown of what interface is right for you.
Monitors and Headphones
The final piece of the production puzzle comes in the form of monitor speakers and headphones. Headphones are great for honing in on specific elements of your mix and are excellent for working in a substandard environment (like mixing on the go). However, to really tweak your mix and get a feel for how it will sound you definitely need a pair of monitor speakers set up properly in a decent room.
Consumer speakers and headphones make music sound good and add "vibe" to certain frequency ranges. However, for mixing you want to know what the music actually sounds like. In music production, we value clarity and the ability to hone in on problems in your mix. Therefore, what we're looking for here is a wide range of reproducible frequencies and as flat of a frequency response as possible. There are a huge range of studio monitor speakers and headphones available and the only real way to find out what will work for you is to go in to your local store with a piece of music you know inside and out and have a listen. See if you can hear all of the parts from bass to treble. Try and pick out individual instrument lines and pay attention to the end of notes. Listen to see if you can pick out how the note decays into silence. It is also important to listen to how noisy the speakers or headphones are when they are silent.
All set to go
Once you have your Computer, DAW, Interface and Headphones/Monitors sorted, you are ready to delve into the world of computer music production. Check in next week when we'll discuss microphones, instruments (real and software) and getting the most out of the room you decide to record in.

Press release
UKTI wins United Nations award for attracting foreign investment
UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) has won an award at the United Nations World Investment Forum for excellence in attracting foreign investment.
UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) has won an award at the United Nations World Investment Forum for excellence in attracting foreign investment.
UKTI received the award at the grand opening of the 2014 World Investment Forum at the Palais des Nations in Geneva which is organised by UNCTAD, the United Nations body responsible for development and trade.
UNCTAD's World Investment Forum biannual awards recognise and celebrate the outstanding achievements of the world's best-practice investment promotion agencies (IPAs). This year's IPA awards were presented for 'Excellence in promoting Foreign Direct Investment for sustainable development'.
UKTI was the only award winner from a European or any developed market. A group of 31 projects from 29 agencies were shortlisted for the awards.
Didier Drogba, United Nations Development Programme Goodwill Ambassador, presented the UNCTAD Investment Promotion Award (IPA) award to UKTI for its work with Gamma Solutions which is expected to deliver investment in renewable energy valued at £400 million into the UK between 2014 and 2017.
UKTI Chief Executive Dominic Jermey said:
We are delighted to receive this prestigious award. The award reflects both the professional expertise of UKTI and also the attractiveness of the UK as a place to invest.
UKTI's renewables specialists were instrumental in helping Gamma Solutions to choose the UK over 13 other new markets they were considering to enter.
Gamma Solutions has opened an office and research and development facility in the Innovation Centre at the University of Exeter, and subsequently expanded into London's Tech City. The Gamma Solutions projects will generate 325MW capacity by 2017, enough electricity to power over 600,000 homes and reduce fossil fuel CO2 generation output by 640,000 tonnes per annum.
Alfredo Garcia from Gamma Solutions said:
Thanks to the Embassy in Madrid and UKTI's teams both here and in the UK, we had reliable market research to inform our decisions.
We understood how to set up a local company and find offices which gave us a solid beginning allowing us to grow.
Notes to editors
UK Trade and Investment is the government department that helps UK-based companies succeed in the global economy. It also helps overseas companies bring their high quality investment to the UK's economy – acknowledged as Europe's best place from which to succeed in global business. UKTI offers expertise and contacts through its extensive network of specialists in the UK, and in British embassies and other diplomatic offices around the world. It provides companies with the tools they require to be competitive on the world stage.
This year's Investment Promotion Awards for excellence in promoting foreign direct investment for sustainable development come at a critical juncture, as United Nations member states prepare to adopt a set of sustainable development goals for the period up to 2030. The goals will encompass a wide range of economic, social and environmental objectives as well as measures aimed at climate change mitigation and adaption.
In 2013 Gamma Solutions sought to expand its international footprint by selling into 14 new markets. For this investment the company considered investment destinations in Europe, the Americas, South Africa and Japan. Gamma Solutions met with UK Trade and Investment in Madrid, seeking advice concerning the UK as a potential investment destination. Over the course of several meetings, both in Spain and the UK, UK Trade and Investment provided a comprehensive overview of the UK market.
This solar energy project by Gamma Solutions is 1 example of how UK Trade and Investment brings leading-edge private sector expertise in the areas of renewable energy. Industry specialists who are seconded into the team have helped identify UK opportunities and have also been able to meet with potential investors – fully able to answer technical business requirements questions that the investors may have – supported by public sector colleagues who are expert in the regulator and political environmental. This private/public approach has been experienced as very beneficial from investors.

The RPS Bargain Bucket
SavyGamer's penny-saving troubadour LewieP sniffs out more discount electric videogames to help you while away this temporally-displaced weekend. Apologies for being a little late to the bat with this one – RPS was delayed by a trip to the zoo yesterday. No, really.
Universe at War – £4.64/€4.99/$6.63
Sci-Fi RTS from Petroglyph. I've had a copy of this since Christmas, and still not gotten around to opening it, maybe I should do. It's a decent price, and from all I've heard about it, it is at least competent. Jim's review here, and try the demo here.
Ubisoft Classic Pack – £8.99/€9.99/$9.99
Consists of 4 Ubisoft classics, although admittedly most of you probably already own at least one of them. You get: Beyond Good and Evil, Dark Messiah Might and Magic, Far Cry and IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946.
A pretty great package, and definitely good for anyone with a fairly low spec machine.
Dark Messiah is surprisingly fun too. It's a bit hit and miss visually, some areas are incredibly drab, but the combat is immersive, brutal and in your face. You get to kick Orcs off of cliffs, and there are a few really neat set pieces. I've heard a lot about people encountering some serious glitches with the game, but I had no such problems.
Dead Space – £11.73/€16.87/$22.42
Phenomenal sci-fi horror game. I'm about 3/4 hours in, and I've really enjoyed it so far. It looks and plays like a game from the future. The hudless interface works excellently, it might seem like a bit of a gimmick, but it really adds to the atmosphere. The level design is varied, and it wastes very little of your time.
Dead Space also shows that you don't need to have artificially restricted controls in an action-horror game to create tension. There is no PC demo because EA hates you. There is a demo on the 360 and PS3 though, so you could try it out on them.
Deal of the Week
King's Bounty: The Legend – £9.29/€9.99/$13.27
Alec's favourite game of last year. He speculated that a lot of people would simply never play this game, because it was a £40 game by an unknown Russian developer. I guess this is the perfect opportunity to take a gamble.
He said:
"King's Bounty is the future of PC gaming. Stop staring in horror at all those dying MMOs and mendacious, mercenary big devs fleeing for console shores. They're no loss whatsoever. What we have here is great ideas supported by solid game-making – a new breed of developers freed from the cheerless, focus group-governed rules and oversights of most Western publishers, but now able to pair that with experience and expertise. The Russian scene is about to become absolutely phenomenal, and this charming, thoughtful hybrid is the herald of that new age."
Sounds like it might be quite good?

For 40 years the little settlement around the State Agriculture School in Centre County had been "the town with no name." Around 1900, a controversy began over choosing a name for the town. Instead of choosing a name honoring prominent citizens, the majority chose to continue calling the town after the college as had been done in the past. In 1953, this small school that was founded in 1955 as the Farmer's High School of Pennsylvania, was renamed The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State). At that time,there was a referendum to change the name of the town too, but it did not pass, so the town remained 'State College',
State College is one of the best places to live, learn, work and relax. The vibrant downtown is filled with local and national business, professors and students and is the heart of the town-and-gown community. Offering many different neighborhoods to choose from, you'll be sure to find one that you would like to call home. Welcome to Happy Valley!
It was in 1933 that Gordon Kissinger started his real estate brokerage in the State College Borough. His first office was on the corner ofCollege Avenue and Allen Street. Today that is the site of The Corner Room and the Allen Street Grill. Downtown State College offers all types of restaurants, shops and business offices making commercial real estate in State College is a wise investment.
KBB represents many new neighborhoods in State College including Pine Hall Townhomes, The Gates, Springfield Commons, Turnberry and Wooded Hills.

Edward Gibbon Quotes About GivingQuotes about: Giving
In the end, more than freedom, they wanted security. They wanted a comfortable life, and they lost it all – security, comfort, and freedom. When the Athenians finally wanted not to give to society but for society to give to them, when the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free and was never free again.
The elegance of dress, of motion, and of manners gives a lustre to beauty, and inflames the senses through the imagination. Luxurious entertainments, midnight dances, and licentious spectacles, present at once temptation and opportunity to female frailty. From such dangers the unpolished wives of the barbarians were secured by poverty, solitude, and the painful cares of a domestic life.
The value of money has been settled by general consent to express our wants and our property, as letters were invented to express our ideas; and both these institutions, by giving a more active energy to the powers and passions of human nature, have contributed to multiply the objects they were designed to represent.

If you are one of those you like to use the not very well hidden custom zoom feature in World of Warcraft Legion via the console/WTF CVars, we have some bad news courtesy of Blizzard Entertainment. Blizzard is removing custom zoom so you will be restricted to what the UI slider permits.
The good news is that this only affects the people who actually find and use this feature, but to the rest the game will feel normal and natural like it does right now. Others, might find this feature very annoying and restrictive in the beginning, so why is Blizzard doing this?
In a broad range of gaming genres (from RTS to Action RPG), being able to zoom out and see more of the world around you provides an objective advantage in the form of information. Due to that competitive advantage, camera-unlocking or increased zoom distance are features commonly found in third-party hacks for a variety of games. Whatever the maximum allowed, that's what competitive players will use in order to maximize performance, even at the expense of the game's overall look and feel.
We strongly believe that there needs to be parity in this area between players who are using the default UI and those who have addons or knowledge of hidden console variables. One option was certainly to just allow the in-game slider to go all the way up to the CVar hardcap. But that scale is beyond the one around which the game was designed at its core. The development team builds the world, its art, its combat mechanics, and other interactions, around the base UI experience and scale. At the 3.4-CVar zoom level, your heroic Warcraft avatar takes up about as much screen-space as one of the dozens of marines you might control in a game of Starcraft.
So basically, this is being done to make sure no one has any sort of advantage while playing World of Warcraft Legion. It is understandable that some might find it hard to play World of Warcraft after the removal of this feature but things will be normal as soon as you get use to it and play like the rest of us.

- Veritas Round Bench Dogs & Pups
These are made from solid brass rod. The crosshatching and 2° slope on the face help to hold wood securely, pulling it down onto the bench's surface. A side spring slides cleanly and holds it in position. The dogs are 110mm(4.3/8") long, the pups 60mm(2.3/8"). Both work well in combination with Veritas Wonder Dog and Wonder Pup Clamps. For 19mm(3/4") dog hole.
Overall rating 3 reviews4.7 out of 5 based on

room for improvementThe 2 degree inclined face helps keep the wood down onto the bench and they are nicely finished and presented, the `machined in` fine cross hatching provides no additional grip, would be better if the cross hatching was knurled (raised)

a bit posh, but worth itif you love your bench, then fit it with some accessories. these are good, that they are round makes them more versatile.

Veritas bench pupsI've yet to use them in anger but they seem to hold test pieces very nicely in conjunction with a Veritas Wonder Pup clamp.

From publisher blurb:
People have begun disappearing. Fishing boats have been found drifting unmanned in the morning mist. More recently, a river boat, bound for the town of Ravenor, was found run aground, the crew and cargo missing. Local merchants and the Lord of the Vale have offered a reward for the recovery of the missing cargo and crew. With few clues and no idea who, or what, is behind the abductions, where will the search begin? Can your party discover the perpetrators, rescue the captives and return the stolen cargo, or will they too fall prey to the Dark Water Doom?
The next stage in the Adventrue Module series, Dark Water Doom takes you deeper into the dungeons beneath Ravenor in search of missing cargo and crew and the perpetrators behind the theft and abductions. The module includes introductory and setup information, an Adventure Record with background, start and objective information, 9 Adventure cards, 9 Encounter cards, 9 Event cards, 9 Search cards, 18 Treasure cards and 9 Forgotten Temple cards. Suitable for use with any fantasy role playing game, Dark Water Doom can be played solo or with a group, with or without a GM. The adventure is highly re-playable and compatible with other Universal Adventures cards. In addition, you can combine the cards with other cards from the series, or cards from other Universal Adventures products, to create your own adventures.
The Adventure Module is a new, simple way to play fantasy adventures. The organization and presentation of the adventures allows for quick setup, quick play and gives you the ability to focus on the action and "story" while leaving you the option to include tactical action and combat if you desire. Enter a new and exciting world of adventure, full of wonder and surprises. Gather your heroes and brave the depths of the Dark Water Doom.

So it's 2am again and yet again, I'm being told off for still being awake. I doubt I'll finish this post in one short session, so this'll probably come at some really weird time or on a regular scheduled post slot.
Adventure Awaits!
I wanted the freedom to do some exploring, so I decided to get a rental car and so after going through the ridiculously long process of looking for a rental company, who will actually be willing to lend me a car (and of course the joys of insurance), I signed my life away and was handed the keys to a very nice Toyota Camry. Now usually, I'm not really a fan of Toyotas, they look like the sort of thing some old man would drive.
I decided to call this car Seraphina as a tribute to a character from my favourite webcomic, unordinary. My girlfriend, who came to meet me at the airport, decided that it looked more like a bloke and so we settled for Joshua.
Now because my core sleeping hours are between 10pm and 1:30am, I was able to readjust my sleeping pattern quite well on the plane. Naturally, I wasn't tired, so I dropped off my girlfriend, let her sleep (because she was quite clearly exahausted) and drove around the 217 square kilometres that the city has to offer. Now by far the most impressive building that is in Seattle is probably the space needle!
This little guy is 604 feet tall. That's approximately 184 metres or (for those of you who are hyper nerds) 6 metres shorter than the Gherkin! Shhhh, no I did not ask my Google assistant for any of these figures… Let tell you, the skyline here is far more impressive than that of many cities I have visited. My early morning drive also got me well aquainted with the area.
Before I knew it, 9AM rolled around
And man, was I hungry. Sure I could've just gone to McDonald's and bought a hashbrown and a greasy breakfast bap, but if your girlfriend offers to make you proper American style pancakes, you're not likely to refuse are you? They were pretty darn good and certainly sated the appetite I worked up from my midnight wanderings.
And then we went to the furry convention
Now my character is a lion called Archon, my girlfriend's is a more simplistic, but is still rather effective! Now for those of you who haven't done their research, there tends to be quite a large amount of drinking at these things, so we left Joshua and took some public transport.
When we arrived, I was pretty amazed
Fursuits are pretty darn cool, but they're also pretty darn expensive, hence why, I don't own one. Everyone was pretty friendly and exclaimed "Omg you're British." because apparently, I have the most British accent in the world! I'm not really sure what to say about it really other than you should probably go to one, because what's not fun about interacting with a load of people about something interesting? Anyway we eventually staggered out (too much wine) and headed to some place for dinner!
Possibly the best burger restaurant?
I'm not going to argue here, red robin is probably one of the finest burger joints that I have ever had the pleasure of dining at. Of course a Whiskey River® BBQ burger and a bottomless glass of iced tea is probably by far the best combination.
Come on now, go to sleep
I'm being beckoned to sleep, but I still want to explore, so before my phone is snatched away by her, I shall bid you all goodnight More stories for another time!

My birthday weekend has been one incredible weekend and I'm so thankful to all my family, friends and wonderful boyfriend who well and truly spoilt me. On Friday 10th January, I turned 20 years old which was kinda scary, there's no going back to being a teenager any more and responsibilities and adulthood seem to come hurling at me!
On the Friday my Mum and I went to Bicester Village which is a designer outlet and all the items in the shops are a lot cheaper than what they cost in the regular shops. Mum and I shopped and ate until our bodies hurt! In the evening my boyfriend, Tyler, took me to my favourite Chinese where we had a lovely meal and spent the rest of the evening together. Saturday was Tyler's Mums birthday and his family and I went to our local Cosmos restaurant. If you haven't been to a Cosmos near you, you NEED to! It's an all you can buffet with nearly 300 dishes including dessert! And it's all different types of cuisine from Chinese to your typical English Roast Dinner and Thai, it's incredible! Finally, on the Sunday, I had a large family meal at Prezzos followed by an open house for tea, wine and birthday cake in the evening! It literally was such an incredible weekend and I was also spoilt and showered in gifts!
Firstly, perfume, bath and body and girly bits! Everyone knows how much I love bath smellies so I wasn't short of any this birthday followed by my favourite perfume at the moment, the Lady Gaga Fame perfume which smells divine! Candles and nail polish are also a big hit with me. I'm basically just a lover of anything girly!
Miscellaneous presents included my favourite TV show cook book from The Great British Bake Off, I can't wait for the new series to start again in the summer after watching the Sport Relief episodes! Katie Piper is also one of my idols and I'm beginning to learn so much from her, especially when it comes to positivity.
My Mum chose well when she picked the gold chunky chain for me from Accessorize! I've never been one for watches, partially because I feel that they just don't suit my small wrists, however, I just fell in love with this one and my Granny brought it for me.
Clothes are always essential at any birthday or Christmas!
The remainder of the Alcohol left! I can't wait to try the cocktails! When I'm out I'm not really adventurous with trying new cocktails as I feel as though if I don't like it I've wasted that money - I can be quite tight, haha!
Whilst shopping I treated myself to a gorgeous Ted Baker purse and Vivienne Westwood bracelet which I couldn't resist, I think we all need a little bit of something special in our lives!
Other presents which I didn't photograph were things like money and vouchers. There were also presents which I couldn't photograph such as Tyler surprised me with a trip to London to go one the London Eye, followed by the London Zoo and lastly a stop off at the Ice Bar, all things which I've talked about in the past and said I wanted to do, and it shall all be taking place this coming Saturday, I'm so excited, it feels like it'll be my birthday all over again! And finally, my Dad and Step Mum have paid to put Tyler and I up in the Marriot Hotel by Gatwick airport the night before we fly to Corfu as our flight is at 6 o'clock in the morning we were worrying about what to do and the costs of it all. Teamed up with my Mum there's also dinner and breakfast too! Which is hugely generous of them all. In fact all my friends and family have been so generous, I actually can't believe how lucky I am to be surrounded by such lovely people in my life and hopefully I'll have many more birthdays to celebrate with them all!

Aviation History
f.lGHT, 24 February 1961 233 The 2Q,Q0Qlb-thrust Olympus Mk 301 OLYMPIAN HEIGHTS Mounting Thrust of Bristol Siddeley's Biggest Jet ONE THOUSAND POUNDS a year sounds good inany language; but to the best of our knowledge BristolSiddeley's Olympus two-spool turbojet is the only engine in the world to have maintained this rate of growth—the poundsin this case being thrust avoirdupois. In fact, the Olympus has for a decade steadily gained in power at an even greater rate; theBO1.1 of 1950 went on to the bench at a rating of 9,1401b and today's BO1.21 has a dry rating of 20,0001b. Even this is not thewhole story, for with reheat the Olympus 21 has recently been giving a corrected thrust of 31,2001b, and still greater power isin prospect. At the same time, such phenomenal increase in output has notbeen achieved at the expense of high fuel consumption or short overhaul life. Specific consumption of current production Olympusengines lies between 0.7 and 0.8, and an Olympus on development test recorded 0.68 as long ago as 1958. Overhaul life of 100-seriesengines is very satisfactory; that of the Mk 101 is one of the highest for any engine in RAF service, and the number of engines removedprematurely is very low. Such results are never achieved by chance. This journal was able to present the first detailed descriptionof early marks of Olympus (issue of December 9, 1955); and in Flight for March 7, 1958, we followed up with a lengthy accountof the manner in which the Olympus 101, 102 and 104 were stand- ing up to service in the Avro Vulcan B.ls of Bomber Command.It i% now possible to comment on the Mks 201 and 301 and describe the Mk 104, the latest version for which internal details may bereleased. This engine is fitted in the Vulcan B.I, and is at present the most powerful engine in RAF service. Rated at 13,5001bthrust, it is a development of the Mk 101 and 102 engines which were fitted in earlier Vulcans. Originally known as the BO1.6, the Olympus 200 was the firstof a family of redesigned engines in which, as a result of more advanced compressor design with higher work per stage, a pres-sure ratio of something like 10 : 1 was achieved with only about 12 stages. In many respects the Mk 200 must be regarded as anew engine, and it went into production for the Vulcan B.2 in 1958 at a rating of 16,0001b. Very shortly it was succeeded by theOlympus 201, or BO1.7, rated at 17,0001b, having been type-tested at this figure nearly three years ago. Afterburning versions of thisengine have completed a great deal of running at 24,0001b thrust. At the time of writing the latest engine of which details areavailable is the BO1.21, which is now in production at Patchway a'i the Olympus Mk 301 (heading illustration). Several importantdifferences, notably the addition of a zero-stage on the low-pressure compressor (the second addition of a zero stage, the first havingb'en in the original Mk 102) have combined to raise the dry thrust to 20,0001b. This engine has been described as enabling the full°-sign potential of the Avro Vulcan to be realized, so that a new mark of this fine bomber may be expected. Still later versions of the Olympus, including the BO1.22 and the 22R equipped withan advanced fully variable afterburner, are known to be under development, the obvious application being the British AircraftCorporation TSR.2. Engines of this type are known to have ratings as high as 33,0001b. Returning to the Mk 104, it is at once apparent that it has alower airflow than these very advanced engines, although it retains the "zero stage" introduced in the 102, so that the 1-p spool hasseven stages. Steel rotor blades and discs are used for the first, second and seventh 1-p stages, the remainder being of aluminiumalloy. To withstand the higher temperatures employed in the 104 —a jetpipe temperature of 660DC is used for take-off—the h-pturbine is bladed with Nimonic 105, and the low-pressure unit with Nimonic 90. The Olympus was originally designed to give 9,0001b thrust.Despite the increased mass flow, higher component efficiency and 2O 19 18 17 16 OO' l > &13 cc K12 11 (O 9 BOI.1 - too / \/MO2 2O 3 o or 1 Ol j / 195O 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 6O During its first ten years the Bristol Siddeley Olympus has grown in thrust in a manner surpassing that of any other turbojet.

text: Last weekend was supposed to be the busiest shopping weekend of the year but it turned out to be just a regular weekend. Marketers promote Black Friday as one of the biggest money spinner, but this year it proved to be quite a forgettable weekender from sales point of view. In comparison, the first day of the week i.e. Cyber Monday turned out to be a humdinger of a day, as we saw online sales record touching a new high.

Lithuania: Overall summary
Updated: 01.10.2017
In Lithuania, electricity from renewable sources is mainly promoted through a sliding feed-in premium. RES plants with the installed capacity exceeding 10 kW acquire the guaranteed tariff rate through tenders. Furthermore, the producers of renewable electricity may apply for subsidies and loans from the Lithuanian Environmental Investment Fund (LEIF) under the Climate Change Special Programme and are exempt from excise duty. For solar, wind and biomass power installations, net-metering is in place.
Renewable energy sources for heating and cooling purposes are exempt from environmental pollution tax and are eligible for loans and subsidies from the LEIF under the Climate Change Special Programme. Moreover, heat suppliers are obliged to purchase all heat produced from renewable energy sources (priority purchase), unless renewable heat exceeds the heat demand of heat consumers. Finally, biogas that is injected into the natural gas system is eligible for feed-in tariffs set by the National Commission for Energy Control and Prices (NCC).
Transport sector is promoted through reimbursement of raw materials for biofuel production, obligation to sell petrol and diesel blended with biofuels (quota obligation), an exemption from excise tax and environmental pollution tax.
The operators of renewable energy plants are entitled to priority connection to the grid. The transmission and distribution of electricity from renewable energy sources shall be given the priority. Heating devices using renewable energy sources are connected according to non-discriminatory principles. Currently, there are only a few legal provisions on policies aiming at promoting the development, installation and use of RES installations.

Gingrich helps honor Habitat program
FREDERICK, Md. - Newt Gingrich, speaker of the House of Representatives, traveled to Frederick on Friday morning to speak in support of U.S. Rep. Roscoe Bartlett, but first he took part in dedicating six homes built by a cause he's close to.
In a small ceremony at 9 a.m. before a dozen people at the Holiday Inn at Francis Scott Key Mall, Gingrich paid tribute to volunteers and businesses who helped build six homes in the area in eight weeks.
"I believe in Habitat for Humanity myself," said the 54-year-old Georgia Republican known for wearing a button emblazoned with the organization's logo on the lapel of his suits every day.

Two easy to use counterbalanced drum depalletisers.
Typical examples are loading weighing scales, removing drums from production, loading barrels into cabinets or when working with unusually large spill pallets.
However, in these applications space may also be at a premium and so good manoeuvrability is essential. For this reason the trucks are fitted with twin rear wheel steering to eliminate the difficulties which can be encountered with individual castor wheels. These trucks are designed for use on level surfaces only.

It is bad enough to understand all of the shenanigans that were pulled to get Obamacare passed, from bogus lawsuits that took a Republican senator out of office to stripping every word out of a bill on an unrelated subject and making it about something entirely different, but Johnathan Gruber (one of the principle architects of the ACA) is crowing about how stupid the American public is and how easily deceived they are.
"Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage," says the MIT economist who helped write Obamacare. "And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass.
Well basically, Gruber is a really, really big douchebag who basically mangles the English language just as badly as the ACA mangles the healthcare industry — basically.
If you think about what he is saying for a moment you understand that the stupid people he is talking about are all partisans on his own side — the press, the leftist senators who voted for the act and the leftist voters who thought we could add millions to the insurance rolls and not pay more more money while everyone would get to keep their own doctors and there would be no cost cutting.
They might as well have called it the Pony Rides for Everyone Act for all of the relation the claims had to reality.
Not a single Republican voted for it and people on the right turned out by the millions to protest. It was only because leftists and centrists are economically illiterate that the ACA was able to be made into the law of the land. Well, that and the fact that the Supreme Court was willing to sacrifice its legitimacy to see the country continue its forced march leftwards.

Once upon a time, there was a campaign called NMP3, which aimed to stop tits being seen as news and a 'man' that we'll call Shortarse McDickhead decided he didn't like women speaking up and went on the attack.
He spent hours sending tweets, writing Facebook posts and generally being a nuisance
When the women at the NMP3 campaign had had enough of being nice, they blocked his accounts and this made Shortarse very cross indeed. So he started making up new accounts from which to do the same. Over and over again the women blocked him, and over and over again, he found new ways to harass them
Eventually, The Sun agreed that tits aren't news and the NMP3 women had a well deserved break from being told that they were prudes who didn't like sex from random men on the internet.
But Shortarse had his dander up. He thought that NO women should be able to say things he doesn't like, so he looked about for a new campaign to harass.
One day, as he was trolling through Twitter, with his trusty trolling club by his side, he noticed a campaign called Yes Matters, which is run by a brave young woman whose sister had been murdered.
One day, the women supporting YM decided that enough was enough, and collated some of Shortarse's tweets into a storify. This made him very cross and he stomped and thrashed and shouted, but you can't argue with things you yourself have said.
He made all sorts of nasty threats to women. He said that he was going to find out a woman's address and come with a camera crew to shout at her in her own home. Do you know what that's called children? That's right! It's called a credible threat of violence! And we all know what happens when people threaten violence to others, don't we? He has been warned over and over that what he is doing is breaking the law, but he doesn't want to stop, he enjoys harming and abusing women on the internet.
This story isn't quite finished yet children, Shortarse still has 19 active accounts on Twitter as of today. He is still tweeting abuse and threats to women who have asked him not to contact them ever again. He is still making threats to turn up at women's doors.
So, children, can I ask you all to be very vigilant, and if you spot a nasty troll with his big troll club, that you block, report and ignore him? A very clever woman (who isn't Lunarfish) regularly tweets out which accounts the troll is shouting from right now, If you're clever children, you might like to follow
@stopmitchell because Shortarse isn't very clever and we always know who he's pretending to be now.
This was an amusing diversion for a few minutes, but it does have a serious message. Trolling and harassing women online is a crime. Even if you delete your abusive tweets, they can still be brought into evidence against you. As a rule of thumb… if you can't say anything coherent, it might be an idea to go and play outside for a while.

User talk:Joggingman08
Hello Joggingman08! Welcome to Wikitravel.
To help get you started contributing, we've created a tips for new contributors page, full of helpful links about policies and guidelines and style, as well as some important information on copyleft and basic stuff like how to edit a page. If you need help, check out Wikitravel:Help, or post a message in the travellers' pub.
Please discuss on Talk:Atlanta before you proceed with further districting of Atlanta. Jpatokal 10:03, 7 May 2008 (EDT)
Hi there running man! Thanks for all your great edits to Atlanta, it definitely needs some work. Can you comment on Talk:Atlanta about the districts of the city? We do need to break it into districts, but we typically prefer to have less for a city that size... not every neighborhood needs a separate article. We could probably group 2 or 3 Atlanta neighborhoods into each article, but we need someone like you who's familiar with the city layout to help with that – cacahuate talk 21:25, 7 May 2008 (EDT)
Hi there. Thanks for your work on Atlanta. One favor-- kindly leave the {{style}} tags there until the sections have been cleaned up. A See section in a Huge City template article should have bulleted highlights of the city, not a paragraph style overview. Websites, address, and contact info can be left out here, as that stuff should be listed in the more detailed description in the individual district articles. Texugo 04:00, 8 May 2008 (EDT)
Sorry about that -joggingman08.
Georgia regions[edit]
Please discuss on Talk:Georgia (state) before you start futzing about with the regions. Jpatokal 11:45, 15 June 2009 (EDT)
You seem knowledgeable in the area. What do you think of the proposed region organization? --Jtesla16 20:47, 18 June 2009 (EDT)
Lets try to coordinate our efforts and finish our discussion on how best to organize the Georgia regions, before continueing on the current system. --Jtesla16 21:11, 25 June 2009 (EDT)
External Links[edit]
Hello. I just wanted to point out that WT has a preferred format for External Links. You've been consistently adding links in another format, so I just wanted to give you a heads up that the manual of style prefers it another way. --Jtesla16 14:15, 20 June 2009 (EDT)
County regions[edit]
Wait! As a general rule, we strive to avoid creating articles for U.S. counties. I appreciate your gung-ho spirit, but lets please come to a consensus on the Georgia talk page before continuing further with the regions. Otherwise, if we come to a decision that is different than the proposal you are pushing, you might wind up with a lot of wasted effort. --Peter Talk 15:02, 5 July 2009 (EDT)
Seoul districting[edit]
Whoah nelly -- please discuss on Talk:Seoul first before districting the city! Nothing near consensus was achieved the last time that was tried. Jpatokal 09:31, 10 August 2009 (EDT)

The 9th Malta Militarty Tattoo will be held on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th October 2012.
The Malta Tattoo is the annual major tourism draw, and is a reflection of Malta's military music heritage. The event has earned a well deserved reputation for offering its audiences an exciting and vibrant blend of music and performances by a Maltese and international line-up of talent. This unique gathering of performers from various countries continues to be a yearly highlight in the local calendar.
The Maltese are very fond of band music. This is reflected in the fact that in Malta there are 90 active band clubs with a total of 3,931 persons who are resident or trainee band players. With a total band club membership of over 30,000, these form over six per cent of the total population aged 5-84 years.
These figures, even by themselves, show the popularity of band music in Malta. But if taken against a background of about 1,250 band programmes performed yearly within the locality of the band clubs and outside their locality, we get the real feeling of the Maltese population towards band music. On the other hand, the active presence of tourists in band marches and musical programmes indicates that band music is an added value to our tourism product.
The Malta Tattoo is a pleasant conclusion of the Maltese festive season in which band clubs have the lion's share of the entertainment. The event will this year feature bands from Italy, Poland, Scotland, England and a top Roller Skating group from Estonia. These will participate together with the local Zurrieq Scouts Pipes and Drums, Marsa Scouts Pipes and Drums plus Corps of Drums, Wallace Pipes and Drums, Malta Police Precision Drill Team, Malta Police Band and the Armed Forces of Malta Band.

Fun & Interesting Facts About Wolves
Wolves are one of nature's most majestic creatures. They have long been a part of Native American folklore from magic to reality.
- Wolves are a special breed of animal. They are considered part of the wild dog group which also includes the dingo and coyote.
- Wolves are extremely fast they can reach speeds of up to 40 mph while chasing down prey.
- There are a few different species of wolf that are family related including the white wolf, grey wolf, red wolf and arctic wolf.
•Wolves are one of the best hunters in the animal kingdom. They are able to bring down a variety of different prey using the pack. They are keen on getting the surprise on their prey and known how to communicate with each other quickly.
• Wolves can be found living in more countries, in the world, than any other animal including humans.
•Wolves can be a variety of weights. They normally males and females will weight close to the same, of about 40 kilograms. However, the largest wolf weight ever recorded was over 90 kilograms.
•Full grown wolves have very large paws. Their paw print can be as large as 13 centimeters long and over 11 centimeters wide.
•Wolves belong to a pack. These wolf packs can be as small as two wolves or as large as 20 or more wolves. This depends on the family unit, acceptance, and supply of food in the area. Wolf packs are lead by an Alpha male that will lead the pack for hunting and mating.
•When a wolf cub is born they are completely helpless. Being born with no eyesight or ear function they are completely depended on the mother wolf. They will usually weigh in at around 1 pound when born and it generally takes about 1 year before they are old enough and active enough to be initiated into the pack officially.
•Arctic wolves have been known to travel over several hundred miles for food. Since, the environment that they live in makes food scarce at times.
•Timber wolves (grey Wolves) tend to prefer the sanctuary of wide expanses of forest. These wolves sometimes go days without eating because food can be scarce.
•Wolves will hunt alone. However, they will limit the type of animals they hunt to smaller animals like rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, or other small rodents. When in a wolf pack, they will generally hunt moose, caribou, and deer for their main meals.
•When a pack kills an animal, there is always rules as to which wolves will eat first. The Alpha male will always eat their fill along with the young and female wolves. The other wolves will feed on whatever is left over.
•Wolves have a very unusually coat. It is made up of two separate layers. These layers will rise to help keep the heat in when it is cold. When the wolves are warm it will flatten to help keep the heat out of the coat and keep cooler.
•Wolves are creatures of speed and consistency. They have been known to travel hundreds of miles in a few days time. They will keep a steady pace up without stopping until they know there is food nearby. The average pace of a wolf is about 15 km an hour.

LA Galaxy @ Vancouver Whitecaps
Saturday, May 11, 2013
BC Place
Kick-off: 4:00 p.m
The longest road trip of the season begins this Saturday when the LA Galaxy visits the Vancouver Whitecaps at BC Place. In only their second visit to BC Place, the Galaxy will look to remain unbeaten against the Whitecaps, who are currently second-to-last in the Western Conference.
In their first of three consecutive games away from home the Galaxy will look to bounce back from the 1-0 defeat against Houston this past weekend. Landon Donovan once again had a penalty kick blocked, his second of the season. Coincidently, both Galaxy losses have been by a 1-0 score, and in both Donovan has failed to convert from the spot. There have been hints that someone may overtake penalty kick duties from him.
The Galaxy attack suffered this past weekend, and one can only wonder how the Galaxy would be doing without Mike Magee. Magee has scored half of the Galaxy's goals so far, six of twelve, with no other player tallying more than one goal. Robbie Keane has been absent from five of the Galaxy's eight games this season, and has not scored since his goal in the home opener on March 3rd. After Thursday's practice, the Irishman said he was targeting the game against Philadelphia next Wednesday for his return.
The Whitecaps started the 2013 MLS campaign with two consecutive victories, but it has all gone downhill from there. Vancouver's last victory came on March 9th against Columbus, and has now gone seven straight games without a win. With nine points out of twenty-seven, Vancouver is tied with Seattle at the bottom of the Western Conference.
The past couple of meetings between the Whitecaps and the Galaxy have been memorable. Last season, in the Galaxy's first visit to BC Place, it looked like Vancouver was close to recording the club's first victory against LA after going up 2-0. Late goals from David Beckham and Jose Villarreal (the first of his MLS career) allowed the Galaxy to escape with a point. The next meeting between the two came in the knockout round of the 2012 playoffs, played at the Home Depot Center. The Whitecaps went up 1-0 in the early minutes of the game, threatening to end the Galaxy's quest for back-to-back championships early. In the 69th minute Magee tied the game with a volley, and less than five minutes later Landon Donovan put the Galaxy ahead after earning a penalty kick. In about five minutes the Galaxy was able to turn things around and begin the push for what would turn out to be the club's second consecutive MLS Cup.

California Art
Selections from the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation
Selections from the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation
Frederick R. Weisman was a pioneering Los Angeles art collector whose rise as an important patron of the arts paralleled the emergence of the contemporary art scene in Southern California. Featured are works ranging from the 1960s to the present, including diverse movements such as California Pop Art, Hard-Edge Abstraction and Light and Space.
Frederick Weisman was an early supporter of many of the artists that rose to prominence under the legendary Ferus Gallery, established by Walter Hopps, Ed Kienholz and later, Irving Blum. At the time Hopps was an innovative young curator who was tuned in to the idiosyncratic styles of Los Angeles artists, which had developed from isolation during the post-war period. As a result, LA artists were inspired by their daily lives and surroundings—the local terrain, vibrant sun, beautiful sunsets, blue skies, surfboards, and fast, flashy cars. Soon new art movements were created (such as Light and Space, and Finish Fetish), and the Cool School was born. But it would be decades later before the rest of the world recognized the importance of these artists and movements. The art on view represents a number of these diverse movements that have and continue to play a decisive role in defining the visual arts in the Golden State, either by California or visiting artists.
Artwork included in the exhibition is by: Jason Adkins, Peter Alexander, John Altoon, David Amico, Charles Arnoldi, Larry Bell, Billy Al Bengston, Kelly Berg, Tony Berlant, Huguette Caland, Mary Corse, Ronald Davis, Woods Davy, Laddie John Dill, Tim Ebner, Doug Edge, Peter Erskine, Ned Evans, Sam Francis, Joe Goode, Iva Gueorguieva, James Hayward, Scot Heywood, Charles Christopher Hill, David Hockney, Jay Mark Johnson, Gegam Kacherian, Craig Kauffman, Peter Lodato, John McCracken, John McLaughlin, Blue McRight, John Millei, Joel Morrison, Andy Moses, Ed Moses, John Okulick, Kaz Oshiro, Jessica Rath, Retna, Ed Ruscha, Alexis Smith, Ali Smith, Macha Suzuki, Christopher Taggart, Kamol Tassananchalee, Roy Thurston, De Wain Valentine, Alison Van Pelt, Velizar Mihich Vasa, Brian Willis and Tom Wudl.

Zapper is a videogame hero without an original bone in his body. Which I guess makes it appropriate that he's a cricket (no bones, geddit?). In this Game Boy Advance game (which is a portable version of a recently released console title), Infogrames, Blitz Games, and Atomic Planet work together to essentially recreate the original Frogger arcade game in a brand new adventure. And considering the Game Boy Advance already has several versions of Frogger in official form, there really doesn't seem to be a whole lot of point to bringing this game to market. Especially since it doesn't really do anything better than what Konami has already done with the "hop-and-dodge" gameplay for the handheld...and a few cases, it's a little worse. But at least it has single cartridge multiplayer!
- 20 different levels
- Link cable support for four players (single cartridge)
- Cartridge save (Three slots)
- Only for Game Boy Advance
Zapper's a cricket with a problem. His little brother Zipper, a grub of a cricket, has been kidnapped by Maggie the magpie and carted off to her nest. Why the little guy wasn't immediately turned into bird food isn't exactly made clear, but regardless, it's up to Zapper to get hopping through the different challenges, picking up orbs, tokens and Maggie's eggs in order to get back his brother.
Zapper really doesn't try to be anything more than what Frogger has already become on the Game Boy Advance. The gameplay of this cricket's adventure is the same, where players must hop one tile at a time through different, patterned hazards like snails, masked beaver/squirrel hybrids, bees, and other strange Zapper universe critters. There are five different words of 20 total Frogger style levels, each with the same goal: Hop through the area while collecting six eggs, a hundred blue orbs and 20 yellow orbs. The yellow orbs have to be collected in a specific order; if you don't follow the order, the yellow orbs will turn into blue tokens...and then you're screwed. Zapper can also jump two blocks for extra far leaps, as well as utilize his electrical antennae to zap open boxes or enemies; his electricity ability must be charged by power-ups to destroy stronger objects and enemies. If all of the levels in a world have been completed 100 percent, players can head into a bonus round for even more points and extra lives.
The standard levels in Zapper drag on a little too long for its own good, and they tend to get a bit stale and boring during the challenges. Worse still, in some cases the designers force players to go through the same level twice because some orbs, locked away in a vending machine, cannot be acquired until the orbs have been collected in later levels The graphic layout, an overhead perspective, is a little awkward to look at, and most of that can be attributed to the fact that the Zapper character doesn't have a shadow to help with the illusion of depth. While the scenery and level design rise and fall in a semi-3D fashion, it's extremely difficult to see exactly where Zapper will land simply because he doesn't have a shadow to guide the players on where he's bouncing. Players can definitely get used to the game's look in these levels, but it will always look like something's missing.
To its credit, the game does offer a little more variety by borrowing from another videogame for a different take on the hopping levels. Anyone who ever played Tower Toppler on the Atari 7800 or Nebulous on the NES (or computer incarnation) will recognize the few clever challenges in Zapper where players must work their way up a tree by hopping around on leaves clinging to the bark. Zapper will always remain in the middle of the screen as the tree rotates around; it's a neat effect and a nice way to change up the hopping gameplay...but it's far from an original idea.
All of the levels, once completed, can be re-entered in arcade mode where players can challenge their best times. Where the game shines, though, is in its multiplayer option. Players only need one copy of the game to take advantage of a nice variety of competition levels against other friends on other GBA systems. Zipper Soccer is a simple sport where players try to hurl the Zipper icon into one of the two open goals; getting zapped by the other player will cause him to drop the Zipper. Stranglehold puts players to the challenge of holdign onto Zipper for the longest amount of time. Deathmatch and Last Man Standing are pretty self explanatory modes. All of these modes are fun, but they're all based within the same overhead graphics engine of the main adventure, so Zapper still doesn't have a shadow.
The Verdict
The single player adventure is a pale, watered-down clone of Frogger that doesn't come quite as close to what Konami has already done with that property. The standard levels in Infogrames game are somewhat dull and lifeless with bland graphics and animation, but at least the developer spiced things up with clever FMV bonus minecart levels and the Tower Toppler challenges. The multiplayer support is what's the real winner here, giving the game something original to share with other GBA owners without the need for extra copies. Konami's Frogger Adventures series eats this cricket for lunch, though, so unless you can't get enough of the bouncy-bouncy gameplay, stick with the classic Frogger.

UFO Sighting Report - Canada
February 7th 2007 : Vernon, British Columbia
Vernon, British Columbia Object Burning/Flames And Disintegrating
Date: February 7, 2007 (Approx:)
Time: Approx: 10:00 p.m.
Hey Brian, I saw something burning, all in flames and disintegrating, heading low in an eastern direction over Vernon town a couple of weeks ago. Close to 10:00 p.m. around midweek. It was coming down at, I am guessing, a fifteen degree angle from the west. The speed was slow, smoky, in flames and disintegrating.
I have heard meteorites kind of spit and flare, with smoke, but this is the first time I have seen flames. Take care.
Thank you to the witness for the report.

So what does positive reinforcement have to do with voting during an election? Well, in theory, voting should be inherently reinforcing because we should feel motivated to participate in our democracy. But we all know this isn't the case. Our lack of motivation is proof that the need is really that immediate—it's direct reinforcement that modifies behavior.
7 Tips for Caring for an Aging or Sick Dog
As I write this, I can hear the whistle of my dog breathing, with the occasional snort and wiggle to relieve the itching.

Training Your Dog to Have Impulse Control: What Is It?
As I write this, I just finished a bowl of Mint Chip ice cream and I am considering a second. Or maybe I should just eat the whole carton? The fact that I am even stopping to think about it shows some impulse control. Though if I fail to resist the temptation to grab that whole carton and finish it right now, that would definitely show a lack of impulse control. We all experience impulse control (or a lack there of) on a daily basis, and so do our dogs!

CERVIS is a cloud-based volunteer management solution that caters to small and midsize nonprofits, associations, faith-based organizations and businesses. It helps users to manage the records for multiple volunteers.
CERVIS gives coordinators a centralized area to handle volunteer recruitment, coordination, communications and reporting tasks. Additionally, it can integrate with an organization's existing website to support online registration processes that gather volunteer contact information and participation preferences.
Event management tools enable coordinators to define volunteer opportunity details, including an event's description, start and end times, location and more—then post the event on the website where volunteers can sign up. Sign-ups can be restricted to volunteers who meet certain requirements, such as age, interest area, completed training, skills and group involvement.
Coordinators can also access summary and participation reports and search the database to find other qualified volunteers to engage with. Services are offered on a monthly subscription basis that includes support via phone, email and FAQs.

It enables my volunteers to create a profile, view our upcoming opportunities, and sign up online. This relieves a tremendous amount of correspondence on my part.
There are some parts of the system that could to be tweaked. I'm sure it's difficult to create a "one size fits all" program. I've managed to master the basics and feel comfortable finding my way around. My issue lies more with fault on my end. I have questions and suggestions but have failed to set aside sufficient time to address them. With that being said, I feel it would be unfair to list the (few) complaints I have before trying to seek aid from your customer service.
Instead of getting excited about the wonderful features offered by CERVIS, ask what your end results are first. What types of things do you currently track? What type of reports do you need to run?

CERVIS truly does everything you need it to do to manage, track and coordinate thousands of volunteers. It is the backbone of what I do as a Volunteer Manager. It is extremely user friendly. I have always received excellent customer support in a timely fashion as well. It is also very affordable!
I really don't have any complaints or things I don't like. The only thing I can think of is you may find at first that some of your volunteers may have a bit of confusion with the Reservation Code feature. You will need to give clear instructions to them on its use. We have been using this feature for over a year now and most volunteers find it user friendly. It allows you to "reserve" volunteer slots for a group and have the volunteers in that group pre-register and fill out their profile on-line, thus saving you and your team a ton of data entry!
Make a list of everything you would like the software to do. Talk with your development department as well to to see what volunteer activity they would like you to track. Once you have your list, start calling the various software representatives and ask a lot of questions and for a free demonstration. Make sure it can offer you the features you and your organization need to manage your volunteer base and activity effectively. Compare prices! You may not need all the "bells and whistles" that the complete package offers. CERVIS offers different features and pricing to fit your needs. I would also recommend putting in your budget to have 1-2 desk top computers available in your front lobby where volunteers can sign in upon arrival using the CERVIS "Sign In" console. They could also complete their profile on-line upon arrival if they have not done so already. This will save you data entry labor.

They did not deliver on what was promised. We do not recommend this software.
The automatic emails and ease of use for event volunteer registration.
It does not work for groups and while their customer service is prompt, the software is not customization but it was sold to us that way.

Great volunteer tracking software.
Customizability is key here, you can make this software do whatever you want essentially. set up multiple locations, make only specific location available for an individual. waivers are built into this software so you don't have to track the paper aspect anymore, the waivers can be 100% percent your companies. we also use this for community service workers as well. this is a great program hands down. geofencing is built in so that people are only able to check in when they are at the designated location which helps to prevent fraud. people can check in from phones and tablets as well a pc's. customer service is great as well, I've never had an issue to date and they have always been very helpful.
The cons are basically the limitations of the users, if you don't want to put the time into setting up and properly utilizing this reporting software, then it's probably not for you.

We are able to turn volunteer coordinating into volunteer management utilizing this system so volunteers can look at opportunities and volunteer on THEIR time rather than us telling them about opportunities that are in OUR time.
We love the reliability of the customer support team, the features and how much we get to save compared to other volunteer management systems in the market.
The ease of use for volunteers who do not use the system daily needs work on. We get our most complaints from volunteers who do not like how many steps it takes to register for a volunteer opportunity.

After buying and utilizing CERVIS in February of 2016, our office noticed a significant increase in volunteer recruitment and retention. After only eight months of use, the office was able to integrate not only the development department with the system, but our family services and construction departments as well. The first year of implementation went smoothly, and we are looking forward to another year even more skilled with using the system. Keep up the great work!
The reporting, data-capturing, and noticeable retention rates after buying CERVIS have been immeasurable to our office. CERVIS has made the volunteer coordinator position one of management with it's hands-off structure for the volunteer coordinator, and more hands-on for the volunteers, making them feel more in control of when they volunteer.
Volunteers have a more difficult time using the system because of all the little steps it takes to register for events.
My biggest suggestion would be to streamline the event registration process for volunteers. With all of the little steps to take and buttons to push to get to the right spot, it makes registration more difficult for the volunteers.

Overall very pleased. I would say 75% of our volunteers will use the software. I'm not sure how to remedy this, but lots of our larger corporate sponsors and elder Church coalitions refuse to use the system. I wonder if there was an even simpler version of this program these organizations could use?
Customer service is quick to respond
Straight forward user interface
Returning users can get confused with not initially setting a password
Sometimes a phone conversation would be helpful.
Completely aesthetics - lots of users joke about the name CERVIS looking very close to CERVIX

I have managed volunteers for many years and this is by far the best software ever for volunteer management.
The volunteers sign up online, choose the events they wish to participate in online and can print out their hours from home online. I know our hours have increased since we started using this software just because we are capturing ALL our hours now.
Reports are so easy and also simple to read and understand especially for people not familiar with what managers do.
The customer service is fantastic. They get back with me within an hour! Now you just cannot beat that! I recommend this software to EVERY volunteer manager I come in contact with. I could not be happier and would recommend this to anyone wanting to track volunteers.

Make sure you demo the product thoroughly and understand what IS and is NOT customizable for your workflow. We are a large organization (5,000+ volunteers) and had a workflow that was not aligned well to this product.
I don't doubt it is the right product for some vertical markets- but ours (public school volunteers) was not one of them.
After taking the training (which was very good) and trying to integrate into our workflow and systems with my staff and other departments involved in the workflow- we found it to not handle our needs. After 60 days, I asked for a refund of the unused annual license portion we had used. (Minus the setup and training fee). I was disappointed to hear that Cervis policy did not allow for such.
Response: CERVIS Technologies, CERVIS Technologies

At CERVIS, we make every effort to make our software as customizable as possible, but sometimes we are not able to meet uniquely specific needs. We partner with many large organizations (some with over 100,000 volunteers), and CERVIS aligns well with their varying types of workflows.
We strive to have highly satisfied long-term customers, so our professional sales staff is very up-front with prospective users about CERVIS¿ capabilities. In this particular instance, after reviewing customer documents, we advised that CERVIS would not be an ideal fit based on their unique workflow, but the customer chose to purchase anyway.
We happily offer a no hassle, no questions asked, 30-day money back guarantee. We also offer monthly plans for organizations that are not ready to make an annual commitment.
We really appreciate you taking the time to read our software reviews and look forward to discussing your organization¿s specific needs.

I think the improvement made with the page headers (instead of having to go back to the main dashboard all the time) was a HUGE improvement and made it much easier to use on the admin side. I do wish there was a way to archive or close reservation lists as ours is getting a bit unmanageable as we enter our 2nd year. The customer service has been excellent - quick, cogent and helpful answers to all my questions.

Pros: Easy to use, able to identify specific skill levels of volunteers when needed to help out as an official or event manager. Your customer service is well above exceptional! Any time I have requested a change you have completed it in a timely manner and at little or no cost to our organization.

CERVIS allows us to efficiently manage and schedule our over 3,000 volunteers needed to staff multiple ministries. It's ease of use and flexibility allows us to customize event listings for whatever needs we have. It is user friendly for both the event organizer and the volunteer. The customer support is amazing and always fast and friendly! We get answers immediately to any technical questions or event organization questions. We love all of the different features that allows us to customize to our needs, whether it be for sending out email reminders for an event, attaching waivers to be filled out, or seeing what size t-shirt is needed. The options are endless! I would highly, highly recommend this program to anyone looking for software to organize and schedule volunteers for events, no matter the size of the event.

This software is a MUST for anybody managing events and volunteers. I would not have the time to run the Home Repair Team if I did not have CERVIS.
I have been using CERVIS to run the Home Repair Team Ministry for my church. I have 60 volunteers that have completed almost 300 jobs for people in our community in the last 18 months.
CERVIS allows me to run the entire ministry in a very effecient manner. Once a job request comes into CERVIS I can quickly send an email out to all our volunteers that have the skills to perform the specific job. Rather than send an email to all 60 volunteers, I can use the SEARCH feature in CERVIS to find volunteers that have the exact skills needed. When a volunteer takes the job I can monitor the progress and close out the job when it is completed. Sometimes I have as many as 8 jobs going on at a time. CERVIS allows me to search and review OPEN jobs and follow up on them in a timely manner. I am also able to keep track of hours of volunteer service through CERVIS.
CERVIS allows me to find the right volunteer for the job. I would not be able to run our Home Repair Team without CERVIS.
Haven't found any yet.
