On one of our (many) Gromit Hunting Expedition days over the summer we encountered some wonderfully enthusiastic people in the Galleries, surrounded by cakes. No matter what they were up to they were already a hit simply because of the cakes, and while I tucked into a generous slice of very yummy homemade bakewell tart Petal bragged to them about my amazing baking skills - I love that she takes such pride in something that I do, even though she is utterly biased - which of course I encourage with much emotional blackmail at each and every possible opportunity. It turned out that they were publicising the Golden Gift Appeal, raising money for Bristol Hospitals. We love the hospitals, having spent a fair amount of time in several of them between the five of us (okay, between Smiler and I), and figured we'd have a go at trying to raise some money for them, particularly since cake was involved . . .
... for all the unique and beautiful square pegs in life that stubbornly refuse to fit into those boring ordinary round holes.

a hat for Mr Manley
Unfortunately over the course of a couple of months it got stretched and became baggy and loose, so I nabbed it off of him and frogged it, promising to knit him another one within days. Yep. Days. That was the word I chose to use. Back in March.

names - the final post!
Smiler opted to keep his as is, and seems quite keen on James ~ just as well!
* * * * *
Noah is keeping his first name, but dropping his middle name altogether ~ I think in solidarity with Mr Manley, who is choosing to remain middle~name~less. I know. No imagination.
* * * * *
Apart from Petal. She's chosen to change her middle name. To Petal.

not guilty - does that mean innocent?
I've avoided the semi-celebrity child abuse / rape trial (or whatever soundbite you subscribe to) in the news this week, and to be honest have been struggling with my own issues, and not felt up to hearing about it.
But the jury came back today with not guilty verdicts for everything, and twitter kicked off. Which is why I feel compelled to write this now. I need to add my voice, my tuppance ha'penny worth, my opinions and thoughts - just a single thread pulled into the vicious tangle of the internet melee, for those individuals, that woman, man, child, teenager, adult, who takes their own journey into the dark every time this hits the headlines - every time.
To start off being very clear, Mr Michael Turner, also known by the stage name Michael Le Vell, has been found not guilty of all charges against him, including rape and indecent assault.
And while obviously I have no first hand knowledge of his actions, here is what I do have first hand knowledge of.
It is not easy to accuse someone of sexual assault. Not legally, not practically, not emotionally. Statement after statement, question after question after question cuts through your mind, creating fresh trauma, agonising reminders, sickening realisations as you look with adult eyes into situations that a child had little understanding of. Forcing your focus to periods of time you would give anything to be able to wash away, like mud on your knees, grass stains on your jeans - so much easier to resolve than these stains on your heart, your soul, your mind, your memories, your life. Some words are so hard to say that they literally stuck in your throat . . . it's not easy.

Hello Amanda,
Thank you so much for taking the time to meet with me and talk about the position of the Senior Digital Marketing Specialist with ABC Inc. yesterday. It was a pleasure to learn more about your approach to growing organic traffic.
Our conversation made me even more excited to join ABC. What interested me in particular was how sharply your efforts are focused on the actual reader experience, not just technical SEO issues.
I was thinking about what you said regarding your plans to expand the email subscribers base by offering free bonus content downloads in the upcoming quarter.

Pro Tip: Don't forget to proofread your email. You can use apps like Grammarly or Language Tool to help you avoid nasty typos or bad syntax.
So, you've just written a stunning post-interview thank-you note.
What should you do with it now? When to send it? To whom to address it? Is a thank you email always okay or do you need a handwritten note?
It's a lot to remember, but don't worry—
It's best to send a thank you letter while you're still fresh in the interviewer's mind. So you should send the email message within 24 hours of the interview (the same day as the interview or the next). If the interview takes place on Friday, send a thank-you email on Friday afternoon or on Monday morning. Don't send formal emails over the weekend.
Don't have everyone's email addresses?
Send one email to the person whose address you have and either ask them to forward your thank-you email to other interviewers, or ask for the email addresses of the other recruiters and email them directly.
Pro Tip: If you interview with multiple people, ask for business cards during the interview, so you don't have to search or ask for emails later.
An interview thank you email will be your safest choice.
Why? Because it's quicker than a snail mail interview thank you letter. Plus, a recent study has shown that 94% of hiring managers find post-interview thank you emails appropriate.
The only exceptions where it's a good idea to send your thank-you letter via snail mail are:

1. I Love to cook and have a cooking blog www.katewscookbook.blogspot.com I get tired of cooking the same things over and over again, so this year I decided I would be better about making a Monthly menu and trying a bunch of new recipes. By doing this, I will not be making as many trips to the grocery store (saving us $$) AND it will help resolve the issue of wondering what to cook.
I already have the menu for the month of January complete and it is posted on the blog. Most of the recipes are either written on the blog or if you click on the name of the food, it will link you to the recipe.
2. I have been so busy making orders for customers (which is fabulous) that I have not had time to write up a few patterns I have created. I made a blessing dress for a friend and stopped in the middle of it to make hats. I pulled it out the other day to finish and realized I might not have written all the directions down - So, this year I am going to be better about completing projects BEFORE I start a new one. Now that the dress is complete, I am starting a 2nd one this week to make sure the directions are understandable and then I will post the pattern for sale.
I want to say thank you to those of you who follow my blog and those who just check in every once in a while. It is surprising to me to see the many different countries that people are from. When I began this blog last year, I never imagined so many people would visit. It amazes me how fast things can be shared.
I would LOVE to see any of your projects made from patterns posted here. If you feel up to sharing your creations, please email pictures to firstname.lastname@example.com .
Here is to a wonderful start of a new year :)

Over the weekend, hundreds of feminists held a protest
outside of Manley Field House, clad in clogs, arriving in Subarus and
disorienting passers-by with an inordinate amount of flannel. The protestors
vied for a change to the current name of Manley Field House, which the
feminists deemed "highly offensive."
"Women are just as good at sports as men," said Connie LeRue,
adding, "It's unfair to women at Syracuse, nay, around the world that our sports practice field has such a masculine
name. It's Hitler-esque."
SU officials remained unmoved by the protest, but were as
respectful of the feminist protestors as possible. "What the FUCK are these
idiots talking about?" asked Jackson Moreno, one of the respectful SU
officials. "Number one, Manley Field House was named after the man who funded
its erection. Number two, women are not even close to men when it comes to
sports. Have you seen our women's
basketball team? Atrocious."
The feminists, unfazed by Mr. Moreno's lucid comments, have
declared that they will be camping out in the Manley parking lot until their
concerns are taken seriously.
"Good luck to them," said Cinco. "They have about as good a
chance of being taken seriously as our football team does. And they're men!"

Medical Device ETFs: An Overview
Through their multiple holdings, ETFs provide immediate diversification to buyers. That's particularly important in the medical device market.
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are a popular investment tool, and generally contain a variety of publicly traded companies under one stock, often with a focus on a specific sector.
Depending on the ETF, investors may be able to track up-and-coming companies, get exposure to top firms or a mix of both. Aside from stocks, some ETFs track also track commodities or bonds.
In the healthcare industry, medical device ETFs bring together companies that go through great lengths to develop technology that can improve the lives of patients.
To help investors make decisions when it comes to which medical device ., here the News Network provides a brief breakdown of what ETFs are and a look at the options for
What is an exchange-traded fund?
ETFs are similar to mutual funds and trade like any other regular stock. They are appealing because they give investors the ability to hone in on a specific area in the market without investing in individual stocks.
Put simply, ETFs centered on stocks reduce the risk of investing by providing a larger pool of companies — instead of going all in for one company, ETFs lets investors pick an area that interests them and suffer less financially if a company underperforms. In this way, ETFs allow investors to enter the market confidently and enjoy long-term capital gains.
Like many areas of the life science space, the medical device sector can be volatile, making ETFs particularly appealing.
For example, if a company in a medical device ETF fails a clinical trial or receives negative feedback from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), those who have invested in the ETF will be protected from any share price drop the company might have.
On the other hand, if a company in a medical device ETF sees a major gain, that increase will also be muted for ETF investors. That is why some investors prefer to take their chances by adding individual stocks to their portfolio.
Medical device exchange-traded funds to consider
Investors who want to jump into medical device ETFs have only two choices, according to ETFdb.com. Here's a brief look at those ETFs.
iShares US Medical Devices ETF (ARCA:IHI)
The iShares US Medical Device ETF was launched in 2006 and tracked 56 holdings as of June 7, 2019. Its top three constituents by weight are:
- Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT): Abbott's medical devices are geared towards vascular disease, diabetes and vision care. The company holds a 13.89 percent weighting in the fund.
- Medtronic (NYSE:MDT): Medtronic's devices aim to relieve pain and restore health. The firm's areas of focus include: diabetes, cardiac and vascular, minimally invasive therapies and restorative therapies. Medtronic's weighting on the index is 12.76 percent.
- Thermo Fisher Scientific (NYSE:TMO): The company's devices are made primarily for experts such as lab workers. It has products in a variety of areas, including cellular analysis, synthetic biology and molecular biology.
SPDR S&P Health Care Equipment ETF (ARCA:XHE)
Formed on January 26, 2011, the SPDR S&P Health Care Equipment ETF tracks 67 holdings, all of which are fairly evenly weighted. Some of the top holdings in this fund's portfolio are:

There are a few things to brag about when telling my friends about RIT. The first and by far the best is the quality of the education. The professors here are well versed in their respective fields and, for the most part, are able to convey their knowledge effectively to the students. The other nice thing about the school is the atmosphere. Since this is a tech school, the people here tend to fit in well together as most share similar interests. Everyone seems to be accepting and I have yet to encounter and negativity towards any other students.
I have befriended some of the strangest, most open and inspiring people in my time at my school. These people are undergraduates, post-graduates, alumni and professors. Soon after my freshman year, my personal focus shifted from weekend parties to actively seeking meaningful conversations and exploring the city nearby. The diverse network of people who are willing to help out in times of need and times of comfort, and the qualities of these people is the absolute richest part of my life, and the comminity of the university I attend.
I brag most to my friends about RIT for the constant activities and events always occuring at the Rochester Institute of Technology. I'm never bored or just sitting around with nothing to do. Along with my academic work, I have a healthy balance of social time with the variety of amazing people here on campus. I can easily try new things wether it be learning to sign in ASL, try sushi for the first time, or learn how to longboard, and I can easily do all of those things in just one day, at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
Our amazing orientation program. I believe it's in the top 10 list of best orientation programs in the US. I also brag about our Div 1 hockey team, my excellent access to alumni, and the amount of clubs and physical education classes that are offered here. We can take massage, juggling, rock climbing, scuba diving...the list goes on. We also have a barn on campus, "The Red Barn", in which students can go rock climbing. The housing here is also amazing-big rooms and nice facilities.
Unlike other schools on the semester system, RIT is set up on the quarter sysetm. A course is taught in just ten weeks, so if you don't like it, it will be over before you know it. You would be surprised how much information you get during such a short period of time, and you get to take more classes than other students on the semester system, because you regester three times a year (or four if you opt to take classes during the summer quarter).
I have met so many people while on campus and I've made tons of friends. I was a little bit of a loner in highschool just because my highschool was more artsy than technically oriented. Now that I'm at a tech school, I've met tons of people with similar intrests. There's also tons of activities on campus and you're never bored. There's always a play or something to go to when you have free time.
I brag about the food on campus there are eleven places to eat on campus. The food at most of the places is excellent and we have a new housing establishment right off campus built specificly for RIT students and there are many more places to eat there. There are also many restaurants within a five minute drive off campus. I love it!!
Our animation teachers. Every freshman in the film/video/animation program this year takes a class with the animator who did Captain Crunch, Tony the Tiger, Toucan Sam, (and more) and many of the upper-level animation classes are taught by the animator who worked on major scenes from movies like "Coraline."
It is one of the most prestigious schools in the country, and the program I am in which is Industrial Design is ranked #3 in the U.S. Also we are a co-op school and our job placement for all our majors is at least 90% most of the time it is around 98% though. That what I love to brag about
The size and divercity of the school. There is always something to do or someone new to meet. And if you are bored all you have to do is take a walk around campus and you are more than likely going to find something to do, something that is going on, at least when it's not winter.

Prayers are very important to our school community.
Please look at our School Prayer Book to help your children learn the prayers we use regularly in St. Chad's:
- St. Chad's Prayer Book (pdf)
Our Prayer to Saint Chad
We thank you, Father, for the humble example of Saint Chad.
We pray that we would always seek to serve, rather than to be served,
to love rather than to seek praise,
and to be a light in the darkness for others seeking truth.

A decade of email marketing data shows the email channel is still the fastest growing of any other channel in the marketing mix – ahead of the likes of SEO, content marketing, and paid search – with email's ROI rising from 66% to 73% since 2008.
However, marketers will have to invest more if the channel is going to maintain its momentum, according to the Econsultancy/Adestra Email Marketing Industry Census 2016, which probed over 1,100 digital marketing experts.
The census shows how digital marketing has matured over the years, relying on email marketing as a central focus with true measurable results, rather than a passing trend. In contrast, the allure of channels such as social media have started to fade, evidenced by being the only decrease in focus by both client-side and agency respondents.
Adestra chief executive Henry Hyder-Smith said: "It's not just email marketing technology that has evolved in the past ten years, but also the mindset of marketers. The past decade has shown an increased integration between the technologies and channels used, shifting away from broadcasting singular messages across all possible channels to carrying out better segmentation and increasingly sophisticated personalisation. We've also seen a move towards focusing on business benefits and customer-driven marketing."
However, it is not all sweetness and light. There is still a frustrating disconnect with the proportion of spend marketers afford to email, the study shows.
The census shows that companies investing at least a fifth of their marketing budgets on email are eight times more likely to see sales attributable to it in excess of 50%.
In addition, the past decade has seen the cost of acquisition and customer retention going down and loyalty going up as marketers have shifted from a batch-and-blast approach to a more segmented, one-to-one approach, investing in customer relationships. As this shift continues, it remains to be seen if this brings with it the necessary shift in proportional spend.
There are also significant challenges ahead, with more work required for businesses to achieve success in implementing automated email programmes.
Just 7% of companies deem the implementation of their automated email marketing programmes as 'very successful', unchanged from 2015. Looking at the triggers that companies are using, fewer than a quarter of client-side respondents are sending automated emails based on abandoned baskets, date notifications and timed content programmes through sales cycle.
Underlining consumers' predisposition towards more personalised messaging, the findings point to a direct link between personalisation and email ROI.
Companies claiming to be proficient in personalisation are more than twice as likely to rate the performance of their email campaigns as 'excellent' or 'good' compared to those not personalising. However, 79% of companies are still employing what they consider to be a 'basic' approach to email segmentation.
In addition, the impact of digital agencies' expertise in email marketing is significant – they achieve a significantly higher ROI than their in-house counterparts, not to mention taking advantage of more automated triggers, and using more email-related services provided by email providers.
Looking to the future, particularly with expected data regulations coming from the EU, the report suggests that marketers will need to pay closer attention to their data management and acquisition practices. Currently, the report reveals that 53% of companies are yet to become compliant, so expect a more forensic approach to data being taken by marketers in the coming year.

Probate problems – and why it pays to make a Will
A shocking case was highlighted recently, giving details of an NHS bereavement advisor, who robbed a number of relatives and charitable organisations of thousands of pounds which were left to them in Wills.
The advisor in question is thought to have carried out this fraudulent activity over a period of seven years, and was only caught after a relative became suspicious and came forward, two years after a patient's death. It has since been revealed that she used a number of tactics to retrieve the money left as assets for herself, including visiting the home of the deceased to search for a Will or allegedly uncover details of any surviving relatives, offering to obtain a Grant of Probate on behalf of grieving relatives, amending a Will to name herself as Executor and in the case of those who died intestate, forging letters of authority from fictitious relatives, to apply for probate.
The woman even had the nerve, when she realised her activities had been uncovered by a relative, to try and pay her off, offering her £100,000.
Although she is now currently serving a five year prison sentence for fraud, trying to recover the stolen money has been a lengthy and complicated process, with the NHS Litigation Authority footing most of the bill.
Thankfully, cases of fraud such as this – particularly when it is preying upon the particularly vulnerable, are rare. However, it highlights the fact that it is vital to not only have a Will in place, but to inform the Executors involved exactly where all of the relevant documentation has been stored. Regardless of whether you intend to leave money to a number of loved ones or your favourite charities, a copy of the Will should also be left with your Executors, to avoid probate problems or even potential fraud from occurring in the event of your death.

Three JVs vying for North Field LNG "mega-trains" award in Qatar
Natural gas giant Qatar Petroleum has issued the invitation to Tender Package for engineering procurement and construction of the four Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) mega-trains of its North Field Expansion (NFE) project.
According to QP, the package has been issued to three EPC Joint Ventures: Chiyoda Corporation and Technip France S.A.; JGC Corporation and Hyundai Engineering and Construction Co. Ltd; and Saipem S.p.A, McDermott Middle East Inc. and CTCI Corporation.
The tender calls for the engineering, procurement, and construction of the four mega-LNG trains with gas and liquid treating facilities, ethane and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) production and fractionation, a Helium plant, and utilities and infrastructure to support the processing units.
The North Field lies off the north-east shore of the Qatar peninsula and covers an area of more than 6,000 square kilometers, equivalent to about half the land area of the State of Qatar.
The development of the major natural resource has been a significant factor in Qatar's economic growth. The gas produced from this giant field is processed to produce LNG, GTL, NGL, and other gas-related industries, in addition to pipeline gas for export.
QP said that the four-mega LNG trains were part of Qatar Petroleum's plans to expand Qatar's LNG production from 77 million tonnes per annum (mta) to 110 mta by 2024.
Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, the Minister of State for Energy Affairs, the President & CEO of Qatar Petroleum, said: "This tender package comes in line with Qatar Petroleum's plan to move into the next significant phase of the North Field Expansion project, which will culminate in the award of this EPC contract in January 2020. We are pleased to have the participation of three international joint ventures with outstanding EPC contractors; and we look forward to a highly competitive tender."
He added: "Issuing this tender package further demonstrates Qatar Petroleum's commitment to executing this milestone mega-project. It comes at a time when all activities related to the project are progressing well and according to plan at all fronts; and I am pleased to announce that further contract awards related to the project will be announced shortly."
The latest package issue follows the recent contract award for the fabrication and installation of eight NFE offshore jackets to McDermott Middle East.
McDermott said on Friday that the value of the contract was between $50 million and $250 million. The contract for new facilities includes the full suite of EPCI services for eight new offshore jackets.
Also, the contract award for early site works for the onshore project was recently awarded to the joint venture between Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC) and Teyseer Trading and Contracting Company.

The Chinese makers of the world's first smartphone with in-display fingerprint recognition technology have been building hype for quite some time now around a nearly bezelless handset conceptually named APEX.
Unlike Lenovo, Vivo doesn't appear to be joking around, targeting a new record-setting screen-to-body ratio of close to 95 percent, with no notch, essentially no top border and a very small chin photographed on commercial NEX units. Or is it the Vivo NEX S that's supposed to get rid of bezels almost entirely, while the "regular" NEX retains a more conventional "FullView" look?
Either way, the X21 and V9's iPhone X-inspired screen cutout is out of the equation, with a unique retractable front camera tipped for the higher-end, thinner-bezel variant, and a Mi MIX-style selfie shooter likely to be integrated into the bottom right corner of the humbler model.
For the record, the lower-end, lower-cost Vivo NEX is expected to pack a hot new Snapdragon 710 processor, alongside at least 4GB RAM, 64GB internal storage space, and a more than respectable 3320mAh battery.
Meanwhile, the NEX S has been benchmarked featuring a state-of-the-art Snapdragon 845 SoC and a whopping 8GB RAM, which other sources say will be paired with up to 256GB local digital hoarding room, a massive 4000mAh cell, fitting 6.6-inch display, and a screen-embedded fingerprint sensor.
We'll find out exactly how much the Vivo NEX and Vivo NEX S will cost in less than a week, but it's probably best to prepare for the worst. The same goes for commercial availability, even in China, where only a limited number of nearly borderless units are likely to go on sale in the near future.

I have lived in West Swindon since 1994 and my children attended local primary and secondary schools. I live an work in the ward and am lucky to live close enough to cycle to work. Like many of you I pick up litter and trim brambles on my way through the local streets. It really does make a difference.
I was first elected for the Toothill and Westlea ward on Swindon Borough Council in 2000 and have represented Shaw Ward since 2014. I was very involved when Shaw Forest was being built and am really pleased at what an asset it has become to the area.
In my role as cabinet member for communities, I was responsible for setting up the new Parish Councils and in West Swindon the benefits are well established. I feel very strongly that Parish Councils are best placed to deliver local services and was pleased to be elected to the new council. We increased the frequency of grass cutting and have installed many new litter bins. We are carrying out major playground maintenance and a complete update for the playground in Middleleaze. We have commissioned an additional 16 library hours per week.
In May 2018, I became cabinet member for children and school attainment. It is an extemely busy portfolio that includes children's social services, children with special educational needs and disabilities, and children who are looked after by the council. I'm responsible for ensuring that all our children are safe and get the best chance in life.
Cllr Nick Martin

I have lived in Middleleaze since 1994. Both my sons attended local schools. I was a governor at Lydiard Park Academy (Greendown) for nearly 20 years and I am committed to making sure every local child has the best education opportunities on their doorstep. I was first elected to the Council in 1983 and am proud to represent the residents of Shaw. I was very involved in putting the lake back in Lydiard Park, the skatepark in Westlea, and creating Shaw Forest.
Salt Way field was a very special project for me, I got agreement to open it for public use then tidied the hedgerows and helped remove the old fencing to improve accessibility. You will often find me working with fellow residents in Peatmoor Copse to improve this lovely woodland area.
I became a Parish Councillor because the very important local services such as street cleaning and grass cutting are dear to my heart. I have made sure that we maintain and improve the levels of service for litter picking and street cleaning. We increased grass cutting to every three weeks and have put in many new litter bins. We are carrying out major playground maintenance and a complete update for the playground in Middleleaze. We have commissioned an additional 16 library hours per week. We have a beautiful network of footpaths and green corridors and the Parish Council will continue to maintain these.
Cllr Keith Williams
07966 129385
I am a resident of the ward, having lived in West Swindon since 1997. I have been a Borough Councillor here since 2006 and was previously Chair of the local Residents' Association. My children attended Brook Field Primary School, and my wife and I have run the chess club there for the past ten years. I work as an IT Manager for a West Swindon-based company so I truly live and work within the area. We live in one of the greenest and most attractive parts of Swindon and I am delighted to serve residents here.
Lydiard Park is a wonderful place for all the family and I volunteer at the parkrun there on Saturday mornings. I am the cabinet member responsible for Lydiard and took the decision that the Borough Council should run the conference centre after the previous management contract expired.
I was elected to the new West Swindon Parish Council in 2017. I have a very hands-on approach, for example for litter-picking and graffiti, two of the services being taken on by the new Parish Council..

Western Europe is the Group's largest market for consumer durables and professional products.
The household appliance market the region is dominated by replacement products as a result of high penetration in most product categories and low or stagnated population growth.
Meanwhile, an increase in the number of households, due to a rising number of the elderly combined with the small living spaces in most homes, has led to higher demand for compact and user-friendly products.
Western Europe is made up of many countries and language areas, which has resulted in widely varying consumer patterns and the establishment of a large number of appliance manufacturers, brands and retailers. The low degree of consolidation is one reason for overcapacity and price pressure in the industry.
The market for professional kitchens is characterized by the presence of many manufacturers who often specialize in only one product category. In comparison, the market for professional laundry equipment is served by fewer players able to supply a larger product portfolio.
Electrolux has significant market share in both appliances and vacuum cleaners in Western Europe, which is the Group's largest market. A well-reasoned strategy with several product launches in recent years has led to Electrolux further strengthening its position, for example, in the built-in segment.
Around 65 per cent of sales of Professional Products occur in Western Europe, with strong positioning in restaurants, hospitals and commercial laundries. Despite the weak macroeconomic trend, the market for built-in appliances continues to experience long term growth and Electrolux is capturing market share. Attractively designed, rechargeable handheld vacuum cleaners are continuing to capture an increasingly large share of the vacuum cleaner market and Electrolux is a leader in this category.

Aluminium loading ramps for any model of excavator from 0.8 to 10 Ton
(Aluminium loading ramps available for JCB, Takeuchi, Kubota, Cat, Bobcat, New Holland, Neuson, Komatsu, Hitachi, Case, Yanmar… and any type of operating machines)
Robustrack distributes the full range of aluminium loading ramps designed and produced in ITALY to fit any type of excavators from 0.8 to 10 Ton. To manufacture our loading ramps we utilise the best aluminium alloy EN_AW 6005/A and follow European certification guidelines.
The aluminium loading ramps are connecting devices used by people and/or transport, as passageways between transport vehicles and the ground (loading dock). These ramps are known as manually operated mobile loading bridges.
We design different models of aluminium loading ramps with different carriage widths (H100 – H190).
Each ramp is made up of lateral side spars, plates fixed to the loading bed and anchoring system.
Ramp length is strictly relative to angle or slant. Before use, operators must consider this fundamental: the slant must not exceed the max slant of 30% that is 16.5°.
Therefore, so as to establish the minimum length to use, to exceed the maximum slant, the operator must apply the following formula (valid for loading operations on normal, flat ground)
This means that to load a digger on a truck 1.2m high you will need ramps at least 4m long with an angle of 30% (1.2 x 100/30 ).
The width of the ramps and the size of the spars define the loading capacity in terms of weight of each ramp.

Malcolm Lillie offers a massive new holistic appraisal of the facts for the Mesolithic career of Wales. the tale starts off with a discourse at the Palaeolithic historical past. so as to set the full Mesolithic interval into its context, next chapters persist with a series from the palaeoenvironmental historical past, via a attention of using stone instruments, payment patterning and proof for subsistence recommendations and the variety of accessible assets.

In modern readings of Plato the Republic is the centrepiece and high point of Plato's thought, the work which best presents the most important aspects of Plato's thought. There is another important point: the Republic is predominantly read in the light of its brief account of an ideal society. Plato there sketches an ideally just society, in which there would be complete division of labour between wealth on the one hand and political power on the other. The rulers would Ancient Philosophy be 'Guardians', who would devote their lives to the public good and running the state.
But we can also more open-mindedly draw the lesson that we should be aware of at least three things when we study a work of ancient philosophy. One is our interest in seeing and engaging with the work in its own intellectual context. Secondly, our own assumptions as to what is 33 Why do we read Plato's Republic? reason for lapsing into relativism about interpreting it, but as a sign of the philosophically salient and interesting, what we are likely to find intellectually rewarding. And thirdly, the potential of the work we study to engender creative philosophical thinking on our part.
It is your life as a whole which is said to be happy or not, and so discussions of happiness are 40 discussions of the happy life. It is our bad luck that for us what is happy are not just lives, but also moments and fleeting experiences; modern discussions of happiness tend to get confused very rapidly because such different things are being considered. In ancient ethics happiness enters ethical discussion by a very different route from the 'feel-good' one. Sometimes you step back from your routines of daily life and think about your life as a whole.

You can see the bush from your back door or you've heard from 'Bill' down the road, who thinks that the street might be classed as being within a bushfire zone – so what now?
The bushfire zone & processing can all be a little confusing at first, especially if you haven't tackled it before; but relax, there IS a way through it.
Building even in the highest level bushfire zone doesn't stop you from building, it just impacts & limits what your material options are.
Have a look at this outdoor living, deck & patio cover we created at West Pymble. This construction actually ticked pretty much every box.
- Development Application through Ku-ring gai Council
- There is an easement running right under the deck
- The property is classed as BAL FZ – to put it simply that means we couldn't use any timber within the construction
So can you tell? Does the finished result look so far different to what you had in your mind? Being classed as a BAL Flame Zone (FZ) doesn't mean the end of your outdoor living dream.
To learn more about this particular deck/patio cover outdoor living area in West Pymble, click through here to go through to the case study.
Essentially there are 3 first steps that you need to take to find out IF you are in a BAL zone & if you are, what zone you actually are.
Step One – Confirm if you are in bushfire prone land
This can be done quickly & for free a number of ways.
If you have recently bought the home, dig out all of your paperwork/contract of sale etc & look for a council document titled '149 (2)(5) Certificate'. This will have a section which advises if you are located in bushfire prone land.
Alternatively, check online via the NSW Rural Fire Service website. Just plug in your street address & it will come up a yeah or a neah. Easy; however & remember that this is only step one.
Step Two – Confirm your BAL Zone
Huh?? What's a BAL Zone I hear you ask? This is the biggest piece in the puzzle & without this we really don't know where we are heading.
For instance, it might be obvious that you are in a BAL Zone, but there might be a house between you & the bush, so the level could be either BAL 29 or BAL 40.
In terms of construction this could be the difference of timber vs no timber for your deck or being able to use light panels or not within your patio cover. So this changes the aesthetics, feel, materials & cost of your project.
BAL = Bushfire Attack Level & it is a calculation based upon the amount of radiant heat which may affect your property. The higher the level of radiant heat, the more protection you will need when you construct.
So what are the BAL zones? Have a look at the table below. BAL LOW is the lowest bushfire risk & BAL FZ the highest.
|Description of the risk
|Lowest risk form a potential fire
|Risk is primarily from potential embers during a fire
|Moderate Risk
|High Risk
|Very High Risk
|Extreme Risk
Your BAL Zone is determined by a number of factors where you live including, the vegetation surrounding you, the distance of this vegetation from your home & the slope of the land.
Whether you are planning the construct via a Development Application through your local council or via CDC (Complying Development Certificate) through a PCA you will require a written BAL report.
Some Local Councils can provide this service or even local private bushfire consultants are available as well. If you are putting it into the too hard basket, we are here to obtain this report for you, so don't stress.
Step Three – Material & Design Selection
You have now found out your BAL zone, so you can understand what material options are available to you & get the best design for your outdoor living area. This blog will help you understand your design options.
Essentially, the higher the BAL level, the greater the risk, thus the more limitations there are on the materials you can select for your patio cover or deck outdoor living area.
We've created the tables below to try & keep it simple & clear to understand – however, keep in mind that this is very generalised & you will need to seek further advice prior to proceeding with any construction.
Patio Covers:
|Material Options
|No special construction requirements! Bingo, nice & easy.
|All four roofing options are an option & yes you can include natural lite panels
|Roofing must be non combustible.
Options available/include:
'Premium Series' Colorbond - no natural lite strips
Insulated patio cover material
Lined ceiling
|As per BAL 19 detailed above - last opportunity to include natural light srips within the 'Premium Series' Colorbond & Insulated materials.
|No timber framing
'Velux' skylights are still an option here where you are looking at a lined ceiling option.
Last opportunity to use Insulated materials, however no natural sky lights are an option
|Options available are:
'Premium Series' Colorbond - no natural lite strips
Lined ceiling but not in timber - no sky lights
'Eclipse' Opening/Closing louvers
|Material Options
|Easy. No special construction requirements!
|Hardwood decking is available
Framing can still be treated pine
|This is where it can get a little tricky…..
There are no requirements for decking materials IF:
The decking is more than 300mm (measured horizontally at deck level) from glazed elements (ie a window or glass door) that are less than 400mm (measured vertically) from the surface of the deck.
In other words, if you have a window or door on the deck, that's when you will need to consider a non-combustible material or bushfire resisting timber.
|You can still use timber however it must be 'bushfire-resisting' timber or a non combustible material.
For framing we move to our 'Colorspan Exterior Flooring System'
|No timber
Tiles or aluminium decking boards
Framing: 'Colorspan Exterior Flooring System'
|As per BAL 40 detailed above

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has increased its efforts to track down those who are attempting to avoid U.S. tax obligations through use of the blockchain. The agency is using the technology in two ways. First, the IRS is looking into those who use cryptocurrency to hide assets and second, the agency is looking to use the technology as a tool in the fight against tax evasion.
Step 1: Finding those who use cryptocurrency to hide assets
Popular sites like Coinbase may have seemed immune to the agency's efforts, but anyone that is paying attention has noticed the IRS has ramped up its efforts.
These increased efforts include an extra ten agents assigned to the Criminal Investigation of the IRS to aid in this hunt. Although this increase will not result in the ability to chase down every taxpayer with cryptocurrency assets, efforts are increasing. As such, it is wise for those who are using cryptocurrency to take steps to ensure compliance with tax obligations.
Step 2: Using technology to hunt down tax evasion
The IRS is also looking to use blockchain technology to help find those who evade taxes outside cryptocurrency. The technology can allow the agency to track down funds and ensure taxpayers are meeting their obligations. Thailand's Revenue Department recently announced it plans to employ blockchain technology to verify whether or not taxpayers paid their tax bill. The technology is expected to increase the agency's ability to track down those who are thwarting their tax obligations and better ensure those who are attempting to evade tax obligations are found and prosecuted.

Last week's coup in Venezuela flopped, it's reported. But "coup" isn't quite right: a popular rebellion failed to spark defections from key military commanders, who have become the end-all and be-all of Nicolás Maduro's reign-at-rifle-point and rule by decree.
Anyone with open eyes can see the illegitimacy of the Maduro regime. When governments shoot their own people and run over them with tanks or armored personnel carriers, there ceases to be any use in debating the fine points of political philosophies.
Facing the current impasse, opposition leader Juan Guaidó told a CBS News reporter he is "open" to U.S. military intervention, adding: "I want a free election now, no dictatorship, for kids in Venezuela not to starve to death."
That doesn't mean the U.S. should intervene, which I think would be a mistake for both us and, ultimately, the people of Venezuela — possibly turning a widely supported uprising into a protracted civil war.
"Before the bombers take off, let's just answer a few quick questions," Fox News host Tucker Carlson suggests. "When was the last time we successfully meddled in the political life of another country? Has it ever worked? How are those democracies we set up in Iraq and Libya and Syria and Afghanistan?"
I don't doubt a sweeping military victory should the U.S. invade Venezuela, but it is getting out that always proves so difficult.
This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.
Note: Last week, a number of Venezuelan soldiers did indeed switch their allegiance from the despot to demonstrators — reminding me of the inspiring pacification of the initial Chinese troops sent to restore "order" in Tiananmen Square some 30 years ago. The head of Maduro's Bolivarian Intelligence Service (SEBIN) also defected.
