A kennel (or crate) is a wonderful way to manage your new puppy or dog until he is ready to be trusted in your home. The crate is not a prison; it is a place of rest and safety for your dog. Think of it like a playpen for a toddler. It keeps them safe, and allows you to take your eyes off of them and do other things. Like a toddler, a puppy should not live in his kennel. It is a tool used when you are unable to watch him, especially during house training and teething. A puppy should not be left in the kennel for longer than he is able to hold his bladder.
The rule of thumb is no more than his age in months plus one. This means an eight week old puppy should not be left in his crate for more than three hours without a bathroom break. During the night, some puppies can go a little longer than that, but don't take for granted that your puppy is one of them. Until you learn his schedule, give him the opportunity to eliminate if he needs to.
Failing to allow this can cause your puppy to begin soiling his crate, and it can be very difficult to break that habit once it is started. Reading more of our puppy training schedule can help you teach your dog faster and easier.
Selecting the right kennel
The kennel you select for your dog is also very important. If you are using it to house train, it should be large enough that your puppy can walk in, turn around, and lay down comfortably. It should not be so large that he can use one side for sleeping and one side for soiling.
There are several available dog crates to choose from. You will need to select the one that works best for you and for your puppy.
- Wire kennel: A wire kennel is a great tool if your kennel is going to be used primarily at home. These crates are collapsible for easy storage once your dog is housetrained. If you opt for a wire crate you can find one that has a removable divider that you can move to accommodate him as he grows. They come with a removable plastic tray in the bottom that slides out for easy cleaning.
These crates are wonderful if your dog really wants to be with you all the time because your puppy can easily see everything around him. They also have the best ventilation of all of the kennel types. The larger ones can be fairly heavy, so if you are constantly on the go with your dog, this might not be the kennel for you.
- Plastic Airline crate: These kennels are wonderful if you want to travel with your dog. The smaller ones have handles on the top, and can easily be moved from your home to your vehicle. They are also a must if you are ever going to fly with your pet. They are also one of the safest ways to travel in the car with your pet. Short of a kennel designed and tested to withstand the force of an automobile accident, these are the safest alternative for your puppy when he is in your car.
These kennels limit visibility, so your dog will not be as aware of his environment. They also do not have quite the ventilation that a wire kennel has. These kennels are good for housetraining, especially if you have a boy that has learned to aim and pee through the bars of a wire crate.
- Plastic Collapsible crate: There are a few of these on the market, and they are a great alternative if you need something lightweight and portable. They typically break down into something about the size of a brief case. While not as sturdy as the airline crate, they can keep your puppy from roaming around in your car and causing problems.
- Soft Sided kennel: The soft sided kennel is a kennel made of sturdy fabric. This is the lightest weight alternative you can find, and is great for traveling with your puppy once he has been housetrained.
They are not good for dogs that soil in their crates because the urine will run right through the fabric at the bottom. They are also not good for dogs that are chewers or escape artists. Even a puppy that likes his kennel might be motivated to get out if a squirrel runs by. The fabric kennel is not designed to stop a dog that is truly determined to escape.
- High Impact travel kennel: These kennels are designed for traveling with your dog in your car. They are not meant to be moved in and out of your vehicle. If you are participating in dog sports, or travel often with your dog, this might be something to look into. They are cost prohibitive for some families, but in terms of protecting your pet in the case of an accident, they are the best you can get.
- Kennels that blend with your furniture: If you don't like the look of any of the above kennels in your home, you may want to opt for a kennel designed to blend in with your furniture. There are a number of these on the market. Like the soft sided kennel this style is not the best for house training. It is made of solid wood, and if your puppy does have an accident in it, it will be difficult to get the smell out.
You can read about our DIY doggie kennels so you can easily customize your dog's crate according to your preference.
Placing the kennel in your home
Once you've selected a kennel for your puppy, you must choose a place in your home where you would like to keep it.
The best way to train your puppy to enjoy his kennel is to do it before you use the kennel so he will start out on good terms with it. Unfortunately this is not always possible. Do the best you can to not lock your dog in his new kennel any more than necessary until you've worked with him.
There are two ways to train your puppy to take to a kennel. One is by using food lures, and the other is with a device called a clicker. Each has its merits, so they are both covered here. The most important thing to remember is that you want the kennel to be a good place for the puppy, so you want to make sure that going in there is always paired with something he likes.
Whenever you are training a new behavior you need to find something that best motivates your dog. With most dogs, food is a convenient way to get a behavior. Be sure to use a treat that your dog likes. If he will not work for his kibble, try a soft dog treat. If he won't work for that, try a piece of turkey or roast beef. Treats should be no larger than a pea. He only needs a taste. You can easily try making some dog biscuits in your kitchen as shown in our homemade cookie treats for Fido.
Using a lure to kennel train your puppy
One of the best ways to kennel train your puppy is to use food luring. As with any training, you want to go step by step, and let your puppy make the decision to walk in his crate on his own. The cue (name of the action) should be added AFTER the behavior has been learned to keep you from having to repeat yourself. Begin by placing your puppy near the front of his crate and putting a treat just outside the entrance.
Let your puppy go and get the treat, and then allow him to retreat. Next, place the treat just inside the kennel. Let your puppy go and get the treat. Gradually place or toss the treat farther and farther inside the kennel, always allowing your puppy to come out if he chooses to. Our list on the top treats for your pooch is a must read to help you make his training more enjoyable.
Once he is going in consistently you can add the cue. I use "kennel up" but you may want to use something else. Choose something your entire family will remember to use. To add the cue to the behavior, say your cue, toss the treat into the kennel, and praise him when he succeeds. After you've practiced this several times your puppy will start going into his kennel whenever you ask him to. Be more informed by reading our article on basic dog training to ensure quick obedience in your doggie friend.
Because we are working with a puppy, training sessions must be kept short, so these first steps should be taken over the course of a few days (or even longer for some pups). Be sure your puppy is completely comfortable going into his kennel before you move on to the next step. Moving too quickly can traumatize your puppy, and keep them from successfully acclimating to being locked in the kennel.
Once your puppy is happily going into his crate, take a Kong™ or other toy that can be stuffed with treats. Stuff it with something he likes and give it to him inside the crate. Let him go in to get it. When he is occupied, close the door for just one second. Practice opening and closing the door for longer and longer durations as he enjoys his special treat.
Work up until your puppy will walk into his crate and you can close the door and leave him there for a short period. Extend this time out, and your pup will happily enter and stay in his kennel while you go about your day.
Using a clicker to kennel train your puppy
A clicker is a powerful tool for getting behaviors from your dog or puppy. You can buy a commercial clicker from a pet store or online. You can also use your tongue to make a clicking noise. The advantage to the clicker over a verbal signal is that it is very succinct, easy to time, and it stands out from all the babbling we humans do to each other and to our dogs.
One study showed that the clicker decreased the amount of time it took to train a behavior by one third. The clicker has also been shown to have a direct physiological effect on the limbic system, which reduces the dog's stress during training.
To begin clicker training, you must first pair the clicker with the treat. We call this "charging up the clicker". Do this by making a click, and then giving the puppy a treat. The click must become the precursor to the treat, and should come before the treat. With just a few repetitions, your puppy will begin having a similar reaction to the click as he does to the treat.
Next, place your puppy near the entrance of his crate. If he looks at his crate, click, and give him a treat. Do this three times before you increase the criteria necessary for him to receive the treat. Raise the criteria to your puppy taking one step towards the crate. Accept this three times before he must increase the criteria again.
If he moves faster, then it's okay to click for a higher criteria, but don't allow him to stay stuck on a behavior for too long or he won't try anything new. After one step, then two steps, and then three, and then so on until he is walking into the crate. I usually increase the criteria to a sit, then I will want him to lie down in the crate. Lying down shows you that your puppy is relaxed and ready to stay where he is.
Just like with luring, we are going to add the cue to the behavior only after your puppy has learned it. Once your puppy is predictably going into the crate on his own and lying down, begin to say the cue you have chosen (i.e. "Kennel up!") just prior to him going in. Say the cue, he does the behavior, click, and give him a treat. Your puppy will have figured out the entire process on his own, and will remember it better than if he had just followed a treat into the crate.
Once your puppy is entering the crate on cue, begin closing the crate door for just a second at first, and then increasing the time. Click and treat when he is calmly sitting inside his closed kennel. Place a treat stuffed toy into the crate to occupy him, and work on closing the door. Gradually close the door for longer and longer periods until your puppy is happy to sit and chew his toy.
More on obedience training when you read our article on easy clicker training tips for your dog.
What if my puppy won't take treats?
Every now and again we come across a dog that seems to have no interest in food. There are a few ways to address this. First, if you are giving him free access to food, you may want to stop. He will not work for something that he can get for free. Who would? Another alternative is to use a toy to get your puppy to enjoy his kennel.
This is not always as easy, but training only works when we know what motivates your dog, and if it play is it, then that's what we must use. Here's a few ideas of how you might use play to motivate your puppy.
- Use clicker training, but instead of the treat, follow the click with a game of tug, or whatever his favorite game is.
- If your puppy likes to fetch, try tossing his favorite ball into the crate to get him to go.
- Place his favorite toys inside his crate to lure him into the crate. Usually, chewable toys are best and we have compiled the top ones for you, go see it.
Always be very gradual when getting him accustomed to closing the door of the kennel. This is when it becomes scary for some dogs.
A note about whining
Even puppies that are trained to a kennel will make noise if they want to be let out. If there is a chance your dog has to eliminate, go ahead and take him outside. If you are certain your dog does not need to eliminate and he is fussing to get out of the kennel you need to ignore him. Our previous article on top tips to eliminate dog whining is a must-read for you.
Wait until he is quiet and then remove him from the kennel. If you let your puppy out for whining, you will teach him to whine whenever he wants out of the kennel. Again, if there is a chance your puppy needs to eliminate, you must take him out immediately. Otherwise, ignore whining and reward your puppy with freedom only when he is quiet.
We have listed down some excellent puppy training pads in our article under Behavior & Training for you to see.
Kennels aren't for everyone
Believe it or not, some dogs are claustrophobic, and a kennel will send them into a panic they cannot control. This is especially true for dogs with separation anxiety. If your dog is distressed to the point of hurting himself to get out of the kennel, or if your dog shows other signs of separation anxiety, try another alternative for containment. Add a baby gate in the hallway so he can move around, but cannot roam freely. Find a larger area to use like a bathroom or laundry room.
If you are house training your claustrophobic dog, you may need to train him to use a litter box or pee pad. If your dog is truly claustrophobic, he will not simply adjust to the crate over time. The symptoms will become worse and worse until he has either seriously injured himself or until you cannot even force him into his kennel. If your dog is having serious issues like this, your best bet would be to find a board certified veterinary behaviorist.
For the vast majority of puppies, kennel training is an essential part of learning the ropes in your new home. It protects him from chewing on dangerous items like electrical cords and from destroying your possessions. It also is a fantastic tool to use for house training because your puppy will not want to soil where he sleeps. Unless a dog has severe psychological issues, he will learn to love his crate, and will choose to go there when he is ready to have a little time to himself.

Los Angeles - Miss Universe Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters didn't shy away when asked to comment on sexual harassment just after being crowned.
"If women take hands and stand together, we are unbreakable," said the 22-year-old Miss South Africa, "and we can say no to the things that are wrong in the workplace, at home or wherever you might go."
In the U.S. dozens of politicians, Hollywood executives and actors, and media personalities are facing accusations of sexual misconduct, sparked by a wave of allegations against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein.
The topic arose during Sunday's competition when a fan-submitted question asked why it's important for men and women to work together to address the issue of sexual misconduct.
Demi-Leigh has helped develop a program to train women in self-defense in various situations after she was robbed at gunpoint a month after she was crowned as Miss South Africa.
She also said she wants to champion other causes during her yearlong reign.

There are times once some upgrades become rather necessary for installing a nicer household. Sure enough, your abode is normally that spot for experiencing some vacations with family. You will not go anywhere but have barbecues or enjoy a lazy weekend with Netflix. It makes sense then to constitute some improvements. This enables you to improve whatever facets were important.
Ask for some key ideas. These may come from those you readily know around the industry. They could point you to providers who provide home automation Franklin. Cite your budgetary expenses also. Your expenditures are crucial in determining the suitability of diverse brands. And whenever some are inefficient, you choose another company. Inquire what temperament they were containing.
Browse the feedback that entity has received through BBB. That page has already been present in judging the various enterprises that operate around the US. And even upon locating a venture that matters, be keen about strengths and weaknesses. No employer obviously perfect but there amenably are those who stick with your ideals. Therefore be stringent in judging them in feasible organizations.
For something that enables you some easier arrangements, you also are encouraged on commencing some improvised routines. These allow you for saving as to begin with, you were not initially recruiting a third party to perform the efforts. And this advantage only applies when entailing their competence for utmost dependability. Always be attentive then about their qualities to inspect them as valuable in appointing them.
Find the website those companies have. Normally, there contain advertisements that depict them as number one. You interview them as well. That enables you on learning about their standards. Their procedures are indispensable for appraising. And when any detail is a bit unclear, you obliged for uncovering those facets that utilize the specific gadgets you need to upgrade. It always helps you to learn the total extent of those chores for expediently managing these affairs.
Similarly, their experience as tradesmen is considerable. You do not want to collaborate some inefficient staff. This does not imply though that any firm that recently just opened is always inadequate. Yet the providers who granted them easily are suitable because they largely are containing the manpower and also equipment for construing these efforts.
Verify every quotation that stands on paper. Whenever some details are a bit vague, you stand assigned in uncovering its sensitivity. You never wish to use some options that were inefficient. You go for those ventures that serve you with utmost dependability. And their sufficiency is great in granting you these benefits.
On ensuring they install the devices effectively, you may supervise. But refrain with micromanagement. They can apply these duties commendably when helping them also. Clear the area and address some concerns. Gather their proposals on what to do and also request their clarifications.
Finally, always clean your dwelling regularly. Take some turns on chores once some are feeling rather cumbersome. You refrain from assuming a really inefficient workload. That negates any chance your excellence is compromised in any fashion. You will implement a nice quality household through commitment.

• Loin, Ibérico de Bellota pork
• Free-range, acorn fed pigs
• Highest quality meat, 100% Spanish
• Approx 1.5 kg
• Cured with smoked paprika and garlic
This lomo is made with the top-of-the-line breed of Ibérico de Bellota pigs that come from western Spain. The native cerdo breed is a black hoofed pig that lives in the dehesa forests near Salamanca. The pigs are unique because they feed on acorns in the fall and can triple in size during a three month period of free range feasting. The acorn diet gives the meat its nutty robust flavour and makes up the mono-saturated fats. Jamones Fermin, from a long line of traditional pig farmers pay close attention to detail, handling and production of their pork in a small mountain town called La Alberca. The Lomo Ibérico de Bellota is made from the loin of the pig which tends to be a leaner cut. The pieces of loin are cured by a dry rub of smoked paprika, garlic, salt, nutmeg and oregano to add flavour to the already complex taste of the meat. The result, after three months hanging to cure, is phenomenal. Ibérico de Bellota is one of the most sought after hams in the world – the loin is a unique taste experience, especially with a glass of wine in hand. Treat yourself to this marvelously cured product and appreciate the quality of taste with the knowledge of our guarantee of authenticity.
Size: 1.5 kg
Ingredients: Iberico Pork, salt, pimenton (smoked paprika), seasoning (sugar, trisodium citrate, sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate), olive oil, garlic, nutmeg, oregano, beef collagen casing
Ingrédients: Porc Iberique, sel, assaisonnement (sucre, citrate trisodique, nitrate de sodium, nitrate de potassium), huile d'olive, ail, noix de muscade, origan

It's true, certain parts of our market are cooling off. We are seeing fewer multiple offers, fewer bidding wars, and fewer inspection concessions.
However, homes that are priced right and in great condition are selling, and in many cases, selling quickly.
As buyers feel the market cool a bit, it may cause them to want to wait. They sometimes feel like it's a better choice to 'wait and see what happens.'
The reality is, there is a real cost to waiting given two specific facts.
1. Interest rates will continue to rise
2. Prices will continue to rise
Interest rates are a little more than 0.5% higher than a year ago and experts predict them to be another 0.5% higher by this time next year.
Prices have been appreciating at roughly 10% per year for the last four years. Based on the numbers, we see that appreciation could be 5% per year for the next two years.
So, let's look at a house priced at $450,000 today. If prices go up "only" 5% for the next 12 months, that home will cost $22,500 more in a year.
And, if rates go up another half percent, the monthly payment will be $206 higher. That's an 11% increase!
In an environment of rising prices and rising rates, there is a real cost to "wait and see."

Policymakers have expanded military veterans' access to community-based health providers as a way to meet demands, given capacity constraints in the VA health system. But a new study finds that most community-based mental health providers are not well prepared to take care of the special needs of military veterans and their families.
"Our findings suggest that community-based mental health providers are not as well prepared as they need to be to address the needs of veterans and their families," said Terri Tanielian, the study's lead author and a senior social research analyst at RAND, a nonprofit research organization. "There is a need for increased training among community-based providers in high quality treatment techniques for PTSD and other disorders that are more common among veterans."
"Veterans and their family members face unique challenges, and addressing their needs requires understanding military culture as well as their mental health challenges," said retired Navy Vice Adm. Norb Ryan, president of the Military Officers Association of America. "It's crucial that our civilian mental health providers acquire the training and perspective they need to guide their practice in the care of our military and veteran population."
The study recommends that organizations that maintain registries or provider networks include information about mental health practitioners' ability to properly treat the special needs of military and veteran populations.

This time, I am interviewing my Serbian friend, and a fellow IMFSE alumnus, Vladimir Parezanović, who was a part of cohort 2012-2014. With several years of experience in fire safety engineering already behind him, he was a perfect person for discussing his thoughts on IMFSE, career, industry etc.
Me: Can you tell me a bit about your background and when did you hear about IMFSE for the first time?
Vladimir: My background is in Civil / Structural Engineering and I practiced it for several years before opting to make a career change. I stumbled upon the IMFSE programme while browsing through the Erasmus Mundus master programmes from pure curiosity.
Me: How did you feel about the programme before enrolling, and how do you feel now being an alumnus? Did it meet your expectations?
Vladimir: It is very hard to say whether it met expectations as I cannot claim that I had an extensive understanding of what Fire Safety Engineering is in its entirety and how it can be widely applied in industry. I would rather say I had an idea, a limited idea, about few fields of application. But the spark that Prof Jose Torero initiated during the application interview was a tipping point for me to go ahead.
Only now when I became an alumnus I realised how great foundation for further development the programme offers. I would not exaggerate saying I am really honoured to hold an IMFSE degree in Fire Safety, and moreover to be thought by the exceptional lecturers.
Me: When you remember IMFSE, what thoughts come to your mind the first? Some course, professor, university, lab, fellow friend, trip or maybe a party?
Vladimir: Hard choice… It is rather few.
Riding a bike on snow and -15°C, barbecues on 10°C, falling off the bike after the first encounter with Belgian beers, Edinburgh skies (i.e. rare blue ones), Karla's confessions on childhood experiences with fire, showing IMFSE colleagues my city, fantastic lectures by Daniel and Rita, the messy all-nighter in Copenhagen, cruising deserted Ghent old city on a bike in the night, and the email Patrick should have never seen 🙂
Me: How important is it that IMFSE is such an internationalized programme? Are you still in touch with your fellow friends?
Vladimir: I believe that IMFSE alumni (while probably not being entirely aware) are collecting one exceptional bank of knowledge. They are researchers or practice FSE in consultancies, they reside in 20+ counties where they can apply state of art Fire Safety Engineering, and they have an opportunity to further learn from leading lecturers/engineers in the field.
And they are still fairly well connected through the alumni Google group where they can discuss any issues or seek for an advice. That is absolutely fantastic! Personally, I am in contact with few of my colleagues on a more frequent basis, while with others through a passive contact such as Facebook, etc.
Me: What do you do now, and how useful was having IMFSE degree for finding a job and consequently working? Did it provide enough relevant education?
Vladimir: I practice Fire Safety Engineering in Australia at the moment. I was told during my application interview something like "Finding a job can be problematic only from a geographical perspective – in some regions FSE is less and in some more developed; but finding a job in regions where FSE is practiced on a very high level is a piece of cake" and that is absolutely true. As I worked only on the Australian market I can confirm that technically we are exceptionally well prepared for the industry.
The last part of the question I answered under 2. I would also add that besides the technical foundation that programme offers, it also highly nurtures critical thinking – a very important aspect in this relatively new area of engineering.
Me: Can you make small comparison between studies at universities of Gent, Lund and Edinburgh? What about living in those cities, what are main advantages of each?
Vladimir: Ghent – demanding with assignments schedule through the semester and rather short period for exam preparation; on the other hand, a lot can be learnt and the exams weren't too difficult though.
Lund – all perfectly organised and scheduled. Proper exams with very fair marking (with relatively unfair conversion to the programme marking system 🙂 ).
Edinburgh – a bit too DIY teaching approach which can be somewhat distressing when one kicks off as a newbie in the Fire Safety world, but in contrast it stimulates research skills. Exams of a reasonable complexity, however time-wise very stressful.
Me: How did you find moving to different country each semester? Was it too dynamic and maybe even a bit hard, or you just enjoyed it?
Vladimir: Absolutely enjoyed it! But it becomes a bit too much after 2 years and it is perfect time to settle down a bit J I did not find it particularly difficult.
Me: Where is IMFSE in comparison to professional fire safety globally? Does it keep up with industry?
Vladimir: I dare to say it is much ahead of the industry.
Me: If you had to choose one thing you learnt during your IMFSE master studies, that you are the proudest of, what would it be?
Vladimir: How candle works.
Me: What is your message for the future IMFSE students?
Vladimir: You are about to embark on a beautiful journey!

Using just corrugated cardboard and duct tape, science students from across Delta County demonstrated the physics of buoyancy at Bill Heddles Recreation Center last week.
The "boats" could not exceed four feet in width and eight feet in length, and they had to fit through the doorway. They were carted to the edge of the pool, where two oarsmen climbed in. If they mastered the first test -- keeping the watercraft from tipping when they got in -- they then attempted to paddle the length of the pool and back. Each team was timed. Style points were awarded for the most dramatic sinkings. Creativity was also judged, with boats sporting names such as Moby Dick, The Bomb, PHS Titanic, Gone Fishin', USS Molly Brown, Easy A+ and 50 Shades of Tape.
The key to stability, one team member explained, was adding cross supports so the sides of the boat didn't collapse. Cardboard was layered for the bottom of the boat. The duct tape not only held the assembly together, it also added strength and, in some cases, a decorative element.
Delta High School physics teacher Ben Magtutu organized the event for students from Cedaredge, Delta, Paonia and Hotchkiss. For his AP Physics I students, the cardboard boat regatta precedes a unit on force and mechanics. Buoyancy is a wonderful example of a supportive force that behaves differently under varying circumstances, Magtutu explained. It's up to the students to figure out why.
AP Physics II students just finished a unit of fluids. They were encouraged to apply Archimedes' Principle of Buoyancy as well as Newton's Third Law to improve the boats they designed as Physics I students.
Any DHS team that made it the length of the pool and back earned a text exemption -- meaning they can drop their lowest test score when grades are tallied.
Two boats sank in a dramatic fashion, after making it to the end of the pool but capsizing on the return leg. Tre Johnson and Beau Byers built "The Stringbean" and Evan and Emily Nortnik were in "Whatever Floats Your Boat."
Hotchkiss High School students Will Drbohlav, Nick Cambria, Alex Aguillera and Luke Yerion won the spirit award. They built a canoe called "The Rescue Probe." Dressed as lifeguards, their two oarsmen repeatedly attempted to get into the canoe but it kept tipping over. Magtutu recognized them for their perseverance.
The most creative boat was "The Anchor," built by Kourtney Carmichael and Jordan Hughes. Brandon Ware and Oakley Newman were recognized for the ambitious design. "Queen Anne's Revenge 2" was named after the pirate Blackbeard's flagship. The boat sported an imposing figurehead and carried a treasure chest that was surely filled with gold coins and jewels -- all made of cardboard, of course. Ware and Newman carried out the theme by wearing pirate hats and waving cutlasses.
Queen Anne's Revenge 2 tied with "Sharkbait," built by Joey Fillmore, Kaelan Hill and Mackenzie Hill for the fastest time at 1:03.
Magtutu hopes to make the regatta an annual event. He expressed his appreciation to Bill Heddles Recreation Center for waiving admission fees for the students, and to the school district for allowing the afternoon to be used for experiential learning. A video of the regatta can be viewed on the school district website, www.deltaschools.com.

The South African Tyre sector
This report focuses on the South African tyre industry, which is estimated to be worth approximately R30bn annually. The tyre manufacturing sector employs an estimated 7,000 people directly, often in areas of higher-than-average unemployment. Although the combined annual capacity of the four major tyre manufacturers is 18 million tyres as a result of substantial investments in facilities and processes in recent years, local production for the local and export market reached only 8.6 million tyres in 2014.
Challenging Conditions
The four main tyre manufacturers, Bridgestone, Continental, Goodyear and Sumitomo compete against an estimated 200 importers of tyres of various brands and of the approximately 11 million tyres sold locally each year, about 5 million are imported. The key issues of difficult macro-economic conditions, declining labour productivity and rising electricity costs have been compounded by ever-increasing imports and the dumping of low-cost subsidised tyres, mainly from the Far East. In response, the South African Tyre Manufacturers' Conference (SATMC) is planning to lodge a complaint with the International Trade Administration Commission (ITAC). Another area of concern in the market is the import of between 1 million and 1.5 million second-hand tyres, with research indicating that 53% of second-hand tyres on the market are not suitable for South African road conditions.
Report Coverage
The report on the South African Tyre Industry focuses on current conditions and factors influencing the success of the sector. The role of manufacturers, importers, retailers, retreaders, fitment centre operators and recyclers in the local market is highlighted and eighteen companies are profiled. These range from Leader Rubber Company SA (Pty) Ltd, which manufactures precured tread for the retreading industry, to Trentyre (Pty) Ltd, which manufactures Goodyear tyres and employs 1,500 people in its 80 branches and 14 retread factories.

Shallow Cross/Drive:
This passing concept was invented by Washington Redskins Head Coach Mike Shannahan while he was the offensive coordinator in San Francisco. The basic idea behind the concept is to create an easy hi-lo read over the middle of the field that takes advantage of linebackers who drop deep to quickly in zone coverage. Against man coverage the receiver can get a good rub, but always will catch the ball in space giving the concept big play potential.
Just like the Smash concept this concept is only dependent on two receiver, it can easily be combined with other concepts, but the concept really comes down to only two routes. However, unlike the Smash concept the two routes can be moved all over the field. The Drag and the Dig can be on the same side, in this case the concept is called Drive, but if the Dig and Drag are on opposite sides the concept is called Shallow Cross. Below are two examples each with video, the first is Drive and the second is Shallow Cross.
This video and diagram of the New England Patriots running this concept against the New York Giants is from an article written by Chris Brown for the NY Times Fifth Down Blog.
*Something not shown in the diagram above is that often the WR running the drag in the Drive concept will be put in motion, this makes it basically impossible for the defender to keep up in man coverage.*
Shallow Cross
Thanks to Bruce Eien for the video, the play diagram is 10 seconds in.
The receiver running the drag route will run one step directly upfield (if bumped he will try to get inside position) and then will run through where the defensive linemen's heals were. After he crosses midfield he will aim his route about 5-6 yards past the line of scrimmage. The receiver then has to read the defenders around him to determine if the defense is in man or zone coverage, this should be pretty apparent if he looks at the defenders on the sideline he is running towards. If the defenders are looking at the quarterbacks they are most likely in zone, but if the defenders are looking at the receivers they are most likely in man coverage. If the defense is in zone coverage the receiver will want to continue running his route aiming about 5-6 yards upfield, but as soon as he finds a whole in the zone he should stop, face the quarterback, and if he catches the ball he should head directly upfield. Against man the receiver can choose to just continue running full speed aiming 5-6 yards upfield, but in most cases the receiver should instead turn the route into a jerk route, to do this the receiver makes his route looks like a staircase. The receiver will run break his route upfield for one-two steps and then should run straight towards the sideline. By heading upfield the receiver should be able to turn the hips of the defender following him so that the defender is out of positions when the receiver heads directly towards the sideline.
The receiver running the dig route will head directly upfield for about 15 yards. Once the receiver reaches 15 yards he should know what kind of coverage he is facing. If facing loose man coverage or zone coverage he does not need to be concerned about shaking a particular defender, instead he is concerned about creating the hi-lo read on the defender or just outrunning his defender. Therefore, in this case of loose coverage the receiver would make his cut as a "speed cut" where he rounds off the break in his route so that he doesn't loose as much speed while changing direction. However, if facing press man coverage the receiver will make his cut as a "flat cut" making the cut as sharp as possible. In doing this the receiver is hoping to get underneath his defender by catching the defender off guard with his "flat cut"
Now with so many forms of essentially the same concept the quarterbacks reads are not quite as clear as they are for most concepts, instead they depend on the exact way the play is called. In the case of the Shallow Cross as most Air Raid teams run it the quarterback will read drag then dig and then the dump off route, this ensures a quicker read where the quarterback will not try to force the deep throw to the dig route, but instead will get the ball out quickly to the drag more often than not. In the case of the Drive concept the reads change depending on whether the defense is in man or zone coverage. Against man coverage the quarterback will read the drag, the dig, and then look for the dump off route for the reason given above, but against a zone defense the quarterback will make a simple hi-lo read. If the linebacker drops down to cover the drag the quarterback will hit the dig, but if the linebacker drops back to cover the dig the quarterback will hit the drag route.
Here are some good videos on the Shallow Cross Concept:

Training your leg muscles makes gaining total-body muscle mass easier. Leg exercises like barbell squats, leg presses and dumbbell lunges stimulate an increase in the hormone testosterone as well as other growth hormones, helping pack more lean muscle mass onto your entire physique. Of course, you need to train your upper body too, to really maximize that growth.
The quadriceps, hamstrings, hip adductors and calves are the main muscle groups in the legs. Since the legs contain some of the largest muscles in your body, it's critical to develop mass in these muscles to bulk up quickly. Ignoring your legs and training only the back, biceps, triceps and shoulder muscles won't produce as much testosterone or growth hormone as a full-body resistance-training workout.
Working your upper body and neglecting your legs can also create a muscle imbalance between your upper and lower body, hampering gains throughout your body and increasing your risk of injury.
Compound Movements
Compound exercises like squats, lunges and leg presses focus on the leg muscles. Training with compound movements helps you break down multiple muscle groups with a minimal number of exercises, increasing your overall hypertrophy, or muscle growth. Do three sets of 10 repetitions with a heavy weight, for each exercise, to bulk up. Rest for 90 seconds between sets to allow ample recovery time.
Perform compound muscles for the upper body on non-leg training days. These include moves such as the chest press, pull-up, and triceps dips.
Eating a diet rich with complex carbohydrates and lean proteins can pack on muscle mass quickly. Cut out sugary, fatty foods like cookies or fast food, and replace them with oatmeal, whole grains and lean proteins like chicken breast or salmon. Complex carbohydrates give you energy for your weight-training sessions, and proteins help supply your muscles with critical amino acids that foster growth.
Avoid overtraining by working out your legs and other muscle groups no more than twice per week. Your muscles are broken down during workouts, and they recover and grow larger when you're away from the gym. Rest at least 72 hours between workouts that utilize the same muscle groups. This allows your body to fully recover between workouts, optimizing your muscle growth.
Advanced trainees may choose to work each muscle group just once per week. But, the weekly session should involve very heavy weights and tax your system completely so you fell like you need a full week of recovery.

Cursor is a database object used by applications to manipulate data in a set on a row-by-row basis, instead of the typical SQL commands that operate on all the rows in the set at one time.In order to work with a cursor we need to perform some steps in the following order:
• Declare cursor
• Open cursor
• Fetch row from the cursor
• Process fetched row
• Close cursor
• Deallocate cursor
2. What is Collation?
Collation refers to a set of rules that determine how data is sorted and compared. Character data is sorted using rules that define the correct character sequence, with options for specifying case sensitivity, accent marks, kana character types and character width
3. What is Difference between Function and Stored Procedure?
UDF can be used in the SQL statements anywhere in the WHERE/HAVING/SELECT section where as Stored procedures cannot be. UDFs that return tables can be treated as another rowset. This can be used in JOINs with other tables. Inline UDF's can be thought of as views that take parameters and can be used in JOINs and other Rowset operations.
4. What is sub-query? Explain properties of sub-query?
Sub-queries are often referred to as sub-selects, as they allow a SELECT statement to be executed arbitrarily within the body of another SQL statement. A sub-query is executed by enclosing it in a set of parentheses. Sub-queries are generally used to return a single row as an atomic value, though they may be used to compare values against multiple rows with the IN keyword.
A subquery is a SELECT statement that is nested within another T-SQL statement. A subquery SELECT statement if executed independently of the T-SQL statement, in which it is nested, will return a resultset. Meaning a subquery SELECT statement can standalone and is not depended on the statement in which it is nested. A subquery SELECT statement can return any number of values, and can be found in, the column list of a SELECT statement, a FROM, GROUP BY, HAVING, and/or ORDER BY clauses of a T-SQL statement. A Subquery can also be used as a parameter to a function call. Basically a subquery can be used anywhere an expression can be used.
5. What are different Types of Join?
Cross Join
A cross join that does not have a WHERE clause produces the Cartesian product of the tables involved in the join. The size of a Cartesian product result set is the number of rows in the first table multiplied by the number of rows in the second table. The common example is when company wants to combine each product with a pricing table to analyze each product at each price.
Inner Join
A join that displays only the rows that have a match in both joined tables is known as inner Join. This is the default type of join in the Query and View Designer.
Outer Join
A join that includes rows even if they do not have related rows in the joined table is an Outer Join. You can create three different outer join to specify the unmatched rows to be included:
• Left Outer Join: In Left Outer Join all rows in the first-named table i.e. "left" table, which appears leftmost in the JOIN clause are included. Unmatched rows in the right table do not appear.
• Right Outer Join: In Right Outer Join all rows in the second-named table i.e. "right" table, which appears rightmost in the JOIN clause are included. Unmatched rows in the left table are not included.
• Full Outer Join: In Full Outer Join all rows in all joined tables are included, whether they are matched or not.
Self Join
This is a particular case when one table joins to itself, with one or two aliases to avoid confusion. A self join can be of any type, as long as the joined tables are the same. A self join is rather unique in that it involves a relationship with only one table. The common example is when company has a hierarchal reporting structure whereby one member of staff reports to another. Self Join can be Outer Join or Inner Join.
6. What are primary keys and foreign keys?
Primary keys are the unique identifiers for each row. They must contain unique values and cannot be null. Due to their importance in relational databases, Primary keys are the most fundamental of all keys and constraints. A table can have only one Primary key.
Foreign keys are both a method of ensuring data integrity and a manifestation of the relationship between tables.
7. What is User Defined Functions? What kind of User-Defined Functions can be created?
User-Defined Functions allow defining its own T-SQL functions that can accept 0 or more parameters and return a single scalar data value or a table data type.
Different Kinds of User-Defined Functions created are:
Scalar User-Defined Function
A Scalar user-defined function returns one of the scalar data types. Text, ntext, image and timestamp data types are not supported. These are the type of user-defined functions that most developers are used to in other programming languages. You pass in 0 to many parameters and you get a return value.
Inline Table-Value User-Defined Function
An Inline Table-Value user-defined function returns a table data type and is an exceptional alternative to a view as the user-defined function can pass parameters into a T-SQL select command and in essence provide us with a parameterized, non-updateable view of the underlying tables.
Multi-statement Table-Value User-Defined Function
A Multi-Statement Table-Value user-defined function returns a table and is also an exceptional alternative to a view as the function can support multiple T-SQL statements to build the final result where the view is limited to a single SELECT statement. Also, the ability to pass parameters into a TSQL select command or a group of them gives us the capability to in essence create a parameterized, non-updateable view of the data in the underlying tables. Within the create function command you must define the table structure that is being returned. After creating this type of user-defined function, It can be used in the FROM clause of a T-SQL command unlike the behavior found when using a stored procedure which can also return record sets.
8. What is Identity?
Identity (or AutoNumber) is a column that automatically generates numeric values. A start and increment value can be set, but most DBA leave these at 1. A GUID column also generates numbers; the value of this cannot be controlled. Identity/GUID columns do not need to be indexed.
9. What is DataWarehousing?
• Subject-oriented, meaning that the data in the database is organized so that all the data elements relating to the same real-world event or object are linked together;
• Time-variant, meaning that the changes to the data in the database are tracked and recorded so that reports can be produced showing changes over time;
• Non-volatile, meaning that data in the database is never over-written or deleted, once committed, the data is static, read-only, but retained for future reporting.
• Integrated, meaning that the database contains data from most or all of an organization's operational applications, and that this data is made consistent.

Pre-application process for hydro scheme
This has been introduced in April 2014-09-14; It is not compulsory, however, is a useful first step to engage with the EA.
The documents are now all on the Gov website, both pre-application and application for abstraction can be found here.
The Pre-application is made up of 2 sections:
- Pre-application
- Environmental checklist
At the pre-application stage, you are required to have a fairly detailed understanding of what the project will be. At this stage it is helpful for you to have found out certain information, information about the river can be found in the River basin management plan, including the 'water body status' of the river, under the Water Framework Directive.
It is useful to get in touch with the Environment Agency at the earliest possible stage. You will be assigned an account manager, who will be able to inform you of the Abstraction Sensitivity Band of the river.
Information required for the application:
- Where the turbine will be sited;
- Where the intake and tailrace will be, if there will be a depleted reach;
- What turbine and how many;
- What flow you will be going through the turbine(s);
- A flow duration curve
- Expected energy output (with calculations shown)
- Gross head and net head ( see the hydromatch info here)
- Site location and permission for access
- Site location –
- you need the grid reference for the intake and tail race, Grid reference finder is a handy tool.
- use get mapping if an OS plan is required
- Who owns the land:
- Use the land registry 'find a property'. This is a free to join membership service, the cost of land registry title's is £3, per title deed. If there are multiple owners of a small area a written request may be required for £25.
- If the land is not registered, it will still have an owner, who will need to be found and consulted. Local Council and old records may help, but it may be quicker to use a service such as Finder Monkey, who will charge approximately £200 to find the land owners.
- The EA will require you to know who owns both banks and the fishing rights. Usually the owner of the bank will own to the middle of the river bed.
Flow duration curve
This is based on data derived from gauging stations. Flow ate data can be found on the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology website here. For each gauging station there is daily data, a flow duration curve with details on Mean flow exceedance details. The raw data can be retrieved and used to formulate a flow duration curve. Here is a useful guide to help set up a flow duration curve. Let me know if you need help with this or any of the calculations.
Pico hydro has some really helpful information on their website
Hydro match have a very helpful step by step resource here
Any questions – give me a ring – Kate Gilmartin 07763 756549
And please do join the micro hydro association or the Community hydro forum.

Following their concert movie Killadelphia and tour film Walk With Me In Hell, a new documentary about the Virginian metallers Lamb of God makes its debut next month. Director Don Argott was already shooting with the band last year, when the story of vocalist Randy Blythe's arrest for manslaughter – after the death of 19-year-old fan Daniel Nosek in a stage-diving incident – erupted around them. You can get a sense of the drama that unfolded in our exclusive trailer for As The Palaces Burn.
Lamb of God exist in that strange hinterland where they're extremely successful in metal terms, but still hardly a household name. Formed in Richmond, Virginia in 1990, theirs was a gradual build rather than an overnight success, and their arguable "breakout" didn't happen until the Sacrament album in 2006. They continued from strength to strength subsequently, until Blythe's Prague imprisonment and trial forced a tense hiatus.
Don Argott is a documentarian whose previous films include the riveting Last Days Here (about the fragile Bobby Liebling's attempt to reform Pentagram), the fun Rock School (like School Of Rock, but true!) and the infuriating Art Of The Steal (about the city of Philadelphia's "appropriation" of an important art collection, brazenly against the terms of a bequest).
His initial intention for As The Palaces Burn (which shares its title with the band's 2003 album, shortly getting a remastered 10th anniversary re-release) was to turn his cameras away from Lamb of God and towards their international, multicultural fanbase. The events in Prague didn't exactly derail the project but forced it to drastically switch tracks. The result is a thriller even if you know the eventual outcome, but it's also sensitive enough that it never loses sight of the unfortunate Daniel. And in terms of access to the unfolding story, nobody was better placed than Argott
The film premiers at the International Documentary Film Festival in Amsterdam between November 20 and December 1. Theatrical and home releases follow next year.

I'm addicted to triads. Three, after all, is the ultimate number, the one number to describe them all. You can have 1…2…3 or as many as you can handle. More even than that. Once you get to third base, you stop thinking about home and see infinite possibilities open before you.
I can be sitting in a chair in a hot room under a fan, or wading waist deep watching the shadows of steelhead, or even filling out an electronic timecard to be paid for another wasted portion of my life, and there it is again, a triad, and I'm free to move on to waste even more life by thinking about something else.
This topic completes the triad of yesterday and today, but I don't see a future, and futureless seems so negative. If Future is out of the menu for lack of proof of its existence, I'm not really opposed to a future should one actually occur, and aFuture feels pretentious and Smalltalkish, so I settled on Afuture to label this collection of random observations and invective.

The Education Destination : Australia The Education Destination 2012
96 >AUSTRALIAN EDUCATION 2012 Above: Canberra schools offer broad opportunities, helping their students strive for excellence. Image: Australian Capital Tourism CANBERRA, AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY For a small city, Canberra has a large number of schools – around 90 government schools and 45 independent schools. Each has its own particular advantages to offer international students. The ACT Department of Education and Training provides a range of support services for school students including pre-arrival information, intensive English language courses, interpretation services, and monitoring of academic progress. The Department employs officers responsible for international students in each government school, and multilingual officers can be contacted by students and parents 24 hours a day. Canberra has high quality secondary schools to educate students and prepare them for university entry. In the ACT secondary system, students attend high school from Year 7 to Year 10 and then move on to a different college for Years 11 and 12 (matriculation exams). Independent schools provide classes from Year 7 to Year 12. A number of schools now offer the International Baccalaureate curriculum. Canberra schools offer broad opportunities, helping their students strive for excellence in their academic studies and encourage participation in co-curricular activities from debating to science competitions to dragon boat racing. International students are warmly embraced into the school communities and cared for throughout their education. QUEENSLAND Queensland's school system is made up of government and independent primary and secondary schools. The Queensland school system is divided into: primary school – Years 1 to 7; junior secondary education – Years 8 to 10; and senior secondary education – Years 11 to 12. Students sit a matriculation exam in Year 12 for further study at a vocational institute or university. Schools have an academic focus supported by co- curricular activities including music, arts and performance and sport. Nearly 5000 international students are studying in Queensland schools. Each school provides support for their students including English language assistance, pastoral care and study guidance. 'Around 7000 international school students are enrolled in NSW schools.'

India skipper Virat Kohli has shared his viewpoint on the raging debate over touring teams' mode of preparation before a grueling Test series.
In contrary to the popular opinion, Kohli feels pre-series tour games barely help the visiting players to prepare for the real challenge as they are not provided with ideal conditions and opposition.
Ahead of the five-match Test series against England, India was scheduled to play only one four-day warm-up game against the county side, Essex. Notably, the Indian team management decided to reduce the practice match to three days and fielded all 18 players in it.
During an interview with Michael Holding for 'Sony Liv', Kohli said: "Lot of people talk about tour games but where are those tour games happening and against what quality of bowling are very important questions to be asked."
"Because if you don't get the preparation you need before a Test series, then it is actually not utilized well. Time is not utilized well if you don't get the quality of opposition that you will face in Test cricket," he added.
When asked to point out what actually went wrong for the No.1 Test side in England, the Indian captain rued not being able to carry his innings in the second essay at Edgbaston and the first dig at Southampton.
"Sitting right now, two things — the second innings at Birmingham and first innings at Southampton. Sitting here, I am not thinking of anything else. The key was to make the team win and twice I could have contributed more. "I know Trent Bridge was great but I remember second innings at Birmingham and first innings at Southampton and I am thinking about that. I am thinking so that if I am in the same position once again, I won't let the team down," he commented.
Virat said as a leader of the pack, he is the first one to accept mistakes.
"I am always focused on where my mistakes are and how I can improve upon them. I am willing to accept mistakes even in the best of times so that I can keep on improving. It's important for the team that my mindset stays good so that I can lead from the front and if I am only thinking about my performances, then I am not doing justice to the responsibility that I am given," he asserted.
The Indian captain, however, admitted that it hurts to lose the grip on Test matches from the position of dominance.
"It was a competitive series and we have already understood and admitted the things that we haven't done well. That's something we are keen to improve on as to get into competitive positions, you understand that you have the ability. But ability only takes you to a certain extent and then your mental toughness comes into play when you have to win Test series in difficult conditions and difficult countries, something that we aspire to do," Kohli stated.
"When you don't do that being in winning positions, obviously hurts more than anything. Probably, that's frustrating, we have shown skill sets to get into winning positions and not capitalize on them. Try and get better as a team. Provided we are mentally tougher than the opposition in difficult situations," he concluded.
