Sport Fishing for Sharks in The Sea
Fishing for sharks in the Mediterranean Sea
For Europeans, the most popular destination shark fishing is the Mediterranean Sea. It is home to many species of sharks, some of which are of interest to anglers. Many resort towns of the Mediterranean organized special offices providing services to visitors fishing tour. But you can just rent a small boat with the team for the whole day. Many ship-owners Mediterranean basin countries, specially equipped with small vessels to provide services to visitors fishermen-sportsmen.
Such boats complement the gear for fishing, bait fish and other necessary attributes for sea fishing. Not so expensive - rent a boat in Italy, Greece, Spain or Turkey for a day of fishing (including fishing equipment, bait) will cost from $ 500 to $ 800. If you choose the company of several like-minded people, the cost of fishing for each will be cheaper.
And of course, these costs are not comparable with those impressions that you get if you manage to get to grips with a toothy predator weight in a couple of hundredweight! Organized fishing on marine predators and many other resort areas on the coast of the warm sea, which is becoming more and more popular in recent years.
But let's dwell on the sharks, as the object of sport fishing
Fishermen catch different species of sharks, including such powerful predators like the great white, great hammerhead, tiger. But most of the catches are often present blue (blue), various types of gray and, in some regions, fox shark.
It should be noted that the catching means of shark's different types are almost identical. Principle one. And what a predator strike on a tackle fisherman, one can only guess and speculate. Therefore, we consider the tricks resorted to by fishermen-sportsmen in order to entice the shark lure, as common for any kind of predators.
Shark fishing methods
As a rule, sharks are caught from vessels (boats and even ships). This vessel may be anchored or slowly move through the waters with the help of motors or drift with the wind or current. The latter method is called drifingom. Catch sharks, usually with a bait, which greatly increases the efficiency of fishing.
Since the sea can be met with a rather large and powerful predator reaching mass several quintals, tackle for fishing must be appropriate. The most optimal for hunting sharks Seven strand type heavy class rod length up to 3 m, designed for a load of 75-100 kg, with metal end and better without the braid. The handle of the rod can be straight or curved.
Each athlete chooses the form of the handle for themselves individually testing for ease of use with the seat. Curved handles allow some to reduce the physical burden on the fisherman in the derivation of large prey. Coils for hunting sharks use one or two-speed multipliers. It is considered to be high-quality Swedish-made reels. The coil should contain not less than 300-400 meters braided fishing line.
The line selected from the condition of the static strength of the gap is not less than 50-75 kg. Experienced athletes can use thin fishing line and more than coping with a large shark by pulling refined technique. Newcomers better to take the line with a margin of safety.
Weights are selected from the depth of the conditions in the place to catch sharks, and may be from 50 g to 1 kg. Of course, you must have a set of interchangeable weights for flexibility in the choice of fishing area.
Hooks should be taken from stainless steel (conventional hooks into seawater quickly rust), №6 - №10. Hooks should have a ring eyelet for attaching the fishing line.
To hold the line and the bait at a certain depth of the foam special floats used having a circular or spindle shape. Sometimes used as an alarm floats and bites. In this case, they are usually tied to the main line on a separate cord.
The best nozzle for catching blue and fox sharks considered as squid, cuttlefish, sardines, or a piece of a larger fresh fish, bleeding.
Good bait - an indispensable attribute of catching sharks. It is made of finely chopped meat sardines or other small creatures. Bait is lowered into the trough in small mesh fishing zone. An important component of any shark hunting - the right way to feeding.
Famous diver and shark R. Fox from Adelaide expert believes that the trail of the blood of animals left on the water smoothly attracts predators - so covered a large area, and the shark, which has taken a trace, not throw it and be sure to catch up with the ship from which the complementary feeding. By the way, in 1963, while diving near Olding Beach white shark was almost half a snack Fox. Subsequently, it imposed a seam 462! Who it is considered the guru R.Foks shark in Australia.
However, one for attracting shark blood is insufficient. Periodically, you need to throw into the water the pieces of meat or fish. The size of these pieces must fit the intended prey. Sometimes fishermen, who set a goal to catch a record size shark towed behind a vessel large chunks of bloody carcasses or even whole carcasses or large fish.
White shark prefers sedentary large nozzle and bait. Very good head of a live octopus and a large squid, tuna, etc. For smaller sharks used bait and smaller nozzle. These moving like sharks chasing and mobile lure towed behind a boat.
Place fisherman-sportsman on the vessel must be equipped with a special fishing seat, as well as a holder for fishing rods. The chair, equipped with straps will prevent the fisherman from the hassles associated with strong jerks large prey. Usually, once caught a few fishing rods at the same time, setting them in the cartoonists ratchet position.
Greatly cut down when the ratchet starts to monotonically pop
You must be prepared for the fact that a large shark can pull up directly from the reel a few dozen or even a hundred or so meters of fishing line. However, in contrast to the swordfish, which is actively fighting for his life from the first to the last moment, the shark more efficiently uses energy for fisherman resistance. It may take a few powerful jerks and suspenders, and then arranges a little break, and even fishing line slack for a while. At this point, should be promptly select slack it on the reel.
Pulling the fish to the boat, try to avoid a finding of the rod in a horizontal position or close to it. In this case, you cannot effectively use the resilient properties of the rod, and the risk to break the line at a sudden jerk shark. The optimal angle between the rod and stretched fishing line - about 110 degrees.
Fishing for sharks in the Black Sea
Fishing on the spiny dogfish shark
Katran - kind of shark spiny sharks. The number of barbed shark is very significant in some areas. In Russian waters, it is common in the Black Sea, where it is called Katran, also found in the Barents and White Seas. Quite numerous shark in the waters of the Far East - in Japan, Sea of Okhotsk and the Bering Sea and adjacent to our shores of the Pacific Ocean.
Katran - medium-sized shark, which has typically a length of about 1 m and sometimes reaching 2 meters and weighs about 14 kg. Life expectancy - 25 years. This shark is gregarious way of life in coastal waters and is usually kept in the bottom layers - to a depth of 180-200 m, but occurs at the surface of the sea.
The food consists of various shark fish - herring, sardines, cod and crustaceans - crabs, shrimp, cephalopods - octopus, squid, worms and other bottom-dwelling animals. In those waters, where a lot of prickly sharks, they cause substantial harm to the fishery, eating fish in nets and on hooks, bit tackles, breaking the network.
For a person in the water, the spiny dogfish, of course, poses no threat, and bathing in the areas of abundant shark, including in the Black Sea, is perfectly safe. However, to pick up the spiny dogfish can, bending, inflict deep wounds their spines, which are all the more unpleasant that the mucus covering the spines of fins, has apparently poisonous properties.
For fishermen, hunted on the Black Sea, spiny dogfish shark is of particular interest because of their size and desperate resistance when pulling. Do not unimportant role played by the quality and taste katran meat in his gentle and pleasant aftertaste. Especially good in katran smoked. Fish fingers are made from fillets.
Shark liver consists of 75% fat and is therefore well do without air bubble. The best time for catching katran, it is spring and autumn. Catch a shark nets traditionally fishermen and lovers of spinning. How to catch spiny dogfish shark nets, we naturally omit this moment and take a closer look at the fishermen catching a shark lovers.
Catch katran boat. At depths of 15 meters and up to 50-60 meters, the so-called "tyrant." "Tyrant" is the string on which is located a short leash 10-15, which are tied to the cord in such a way that they bristled, but not adjacent to the cord and at the end of a weight of 200-500 grams. (A weight is needed for a quick dip snap to the desired depth).
The line on leashes are 0.5 mm in diameter. As the cord can be used as mono fishing line diameter 0.7-0.9 mm and braided cord with a tensile load of at least 10 kg. Hooks used by large, relatively, because as part of the catch is scad, herring, flounder, gurnard and other representatives of local fauna, with a long forearm and attached feathers.
At the expense of the values of color feathers, no consensus (used colors: white, red, gray and blue in particular), all caught about the same. Spinning should be powerful and not too long, suitable 2.70-3 meter and test at least 200-300 grams. Under these parameters are not suitable for spinning expensive Chinese-made from fiberglass, they are more resistant to damage than carbon.
The coil is desirable to put the multiplier; it is more suitable for power quality, and for sheer fishing. catching process is so you get up to the desired depth, throws overboard a snap as you load heavy, equipment quickly reaches the bottom, then you gently lifts the snap at 10-20 centimeters, and then abruptly let go.
When you feel it is necessary to strike blows to the hand. When catching katran, first you will feel heavy and have the derivation of fish closer to the surface, prepare for power struggle. With caught Katran beware, it scales very small and similar to sandpaper, you can peel the skin with no gentle motion.

Former Para swimmer Stephanie Dixon has been named Canada's Chef de Mission for next year's Paralympic Games in Tokyo.
Dixon, a 19-time Paralympic medallist, will also serve as head of Canada's delegation at the Lima 2019 Parapan American Games.
The 35-year-old, assistant Chef de Mission for the Toronto 2015 Parapan American Games, will be tasked with leading the Canadian squads at both events.
"I could not be more excited to be selected as Chef de Mission for the Lima 2019 Parapan American Games and the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games," said Dixon.
"I am passionate about ensuring our athletes have everything they need in order to give performances of a lifetime, have experiences they will never forget, and know their entire country is behind them when they step onto the field of play.
"I will be our athletes' biggest cheerleader and share their stories with our nation so all Canadians feel they are part of their journey.
"When we get behind our athletes, we can't help but be inspired."
Dixon won seven Paralympic gold medals, five of which came at Sydney 2000, during her career in the pool.
She retired in 2010 following the World Para Swimming Championships to pursue a career in coaching.
Canadian Paralympic Committee President Marc-André Fabien said the organisation was "thrilled" to announce the appointment of Dixon as Chef de Mission.
Fabien also claimed the decision to hand her the position for both Lima 2019 and Tokyo 2020 would ensure consistency.
"She is a true advocate of Paralympic sport and has been a well-respected leader in our community for so many years," he said.
"She brings such energy and influence to the role in addition to her vast experience and unique insight.
"Combining the Chef de Mission role for both Lima and Tokyo will add consistency and help Stephanie to build even more of a positive team atmosphere.
"We know she will provide outstanding support and leadership for our athletes, who will be competing in the biggest competitions of their careers."
Canada have claimed 1,059 medals at the Paralympicss, 393 of which were gold.

Spring is springing, and the weather was frequently alternating between bright and sunny with blue skies, or grey overcastness and sharp rain showers. I was at work, grinding the tang of a file before fitting the handle, but my mind was constantly repeating the name "Tlaloc" – I mean, repetitively, continuously, without pause.
I knew it was an Aztec god name, but that was as far as my knowledge went. A quick google later and I had this entry from Wikipedia. The first thing that struck me was how like Frey he seemed:
"As supreme god of the rain, Tlaloc was also by extension a god of earthly fertility and of water. He was widely worshipped as a beneficent giver of life and sustenance."
… so far, so Frey… but it goes on:
"The cult of Tlaloc is one of the oldest and most universal in ancient Mexico… worshiped in Mesoamerica before the Aztecs even settled there in the 13th century AD. He was a prominent god in Teotihuacan at least 800 years before the Aztecs.",
… which ties in with Vanir gods having been in existence long before the upstart Aesir. The next bit to catch my eye was:
"In Aztec mythology, Tlaloc was the lord of the third sun which was destroyed by fire."
I suppose this link depends on whether you believe Ragnarok is yet to come, or was the end of a previous World-Age. Either way, the Norse myths tell us that the great Fire God Surt and Frey kill each other, before Surt's burning sword razes the Earth (which then sinks beneath the sea) [link] – more coincidence.
"Tlaloc ruled the fourth layer of the upper world, or heavens, which is called Tlalocan ("place of Tlaloc") in several Aztec codices, such as the Vaticanus A and Florentine codices. Described as a place of unending springtime and a paradise of green plants".
Compare this with the following, from the Gylfaginning:
"It is said that another heaven is to the southward and upward of this one, and it is called Andlang [Andlangr 'Endlong'] but the third heaven is yet above that, and it is called Vídbláin [Vídbláinn 'Wide-blue'] and in that heaven we think this abode is. But we believe that none but Light-Elves inhabit these mansions now."
When we consider that Frey was given Alfheim as a tooth-gift, it's not so much of a reach. The next bit, however, was when it really hit me:
"The "Atlcahualo" was celebrated from the 12th of February until the 3rd of March. Dedicated to the Tlaloque, this veintena involved the sacrifice of many children on sacred mountaintops."
… A day of bright skies and spring rains, right at the end of Tlaloc's festival? I understand now why he was so insistent. I quietly petitioned the Powers to protect my children from death and got back to my work. I suppose I should have made a quick offering to Tlaloc/Frey, but I didn't. Schoolboy mistake. I wonder if he'll be so insistent next time. The article continues:
"…Sometimes described as Tlaloc's sister, Chalchiuhtlicue was impersonated by ritual performers wearing the green skirt that identifies the deity. Like that of Tlaloc, this cult was linked to the earth, fertility and nature's regeneration."
So, has a fertility goddess as a sister? Clearly a parallel with Frey and Freya (not that male and female partnerships are uncommon in fertility deities worldwide). The article goes on:
"Tlaloc was first married to the goddess of flowers, Xochiquetzal, which literally translates to "Flower Quetzal." Xochiquetzal personifies pleasure, flowers, and young female sexual power. In doing so, she is thought to oversee pregnancies and childbirths and act as a guardian figure for new mothers. Unlike many other female Aztec deities, Xochiquetzal maintains her youthful looks and is often depicted in opulent attire and gold adornments."
Following the link to Xochiquetzal:
"Unlike several other figures in the complex of Aztec female earth deities connected with agricultural and sexual fecundity, Xochiquetzal is always depicted as an alluring and youthful woman, richly attired and symbolically associated with vegetation and in particular flowers. By connotation, Xochiquetzal is also representative of human desire, pleasure, and excess, appearing also as patroness of artisans involved in the manufacture of luxury items."
Which all sounds very much like Freya, with her sexual allure and beautiful Dwarf-made necklace. The only point of contention is that this would translate to Frey and Freya being married. Perhaps not so contentious when you consider Loki's Flyting of the Vanir in Lokasenna, where he accuses "the Vanir [of] incest, saying that Njörðr had Freyr with his sister. He also states that the gods discovered Freyr and Freyja having sex together."
Which eventually begs the question: Why so similar? There are clearly parallels between Odin and Viracocha, with Tezcatlipoca echoing a kind of Odin/Loki character. In the Viracocha link you'll find mention of the controversial theory of pre-Columbian European migration, a supposed time when bearded Vikings turned up in their longboats.
In simplistic terms, the fact that the Icy world of Niflheim lies to the north and the fiery world of Muspelheim to the south supports the idea that travellers native to northern Europe would find you got colder as you went north and warmer as you went south (the Spanish actually naming the archipelago at the southernmost tip of South America "the Land of Fire"). This, however, doesn't prove any kind of contact between the cultures. It's the same as saying the Vkings must have sailed to India because of the similarity between Aesir and Asura, or because Indra is so much like Thor – even down to slaying the great serpent Vritra/Jörmungandr.
What it does suggest, however, is that there was likely to have been a commonly held mythology that fragmented and adapted as humans moved out of Africa and colonised the world. A brilliant exposition of this theory is in Gordon White's Star.Ships: A Prehistory of the Spirit, which you can find either through the publisher, or Amazon. I strongly recommend you get hold of a copy (the Kindle edition at Amazon is about as much as two coffees from BarStucks). What are you waiting for?!

The Arts
The arts are central to learning at the school and have an impact on self-esteem, enthusiasm, confidence and attitude to learning … The school is a good provider of arts experiences for primary age pupils.
Artsmark Validation Report September 2014
We believe the arts are a vital part of how we as humans make sense of the world and respond to our environment and those around us. They offer opportunities to use our imaginations and develop creative responses. Using the arts to access learning helps us develop confident and active children. The children learn skills and techniques in various art forms and as they discover interests and talents.
Children learn to look at things carefully and develop an awareness of colour, pattern and shape. They use materials of all kinds, including paints, inks, dyes, fabrics and clay. They are taught a variety of techniques and how to choose the medium most suitable for the project in hand. We have recently re-instated our kiln and plan to develop our work with clay. The children are encouraged to appreciate the work of a range of artists. We regularly visit the local Gibberd Garden and visit London galleries from time to time.
Music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity. A high quality music education should engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians, and so increase their self-confidence, creativity, sense of achievement. As pupils progress, they should develop a critical engagement with music, allowing them to compose, and to listen with discrimination to high quality performances and recordings.
Some classes have the opportunity to learn to play instruments in large groups – recently this has included ukulele and drums.
We offer a range of individual instrument lessons including: bassoon, clarinet, cornet, flute, guitar, piano, saxophone and singing lessons. There is a charge for these lessons. Pupils currently registered for Free School Meals receive a significant discount.
The teaching of music develops skills and attitudes which can support learning in other curriculum areas e.g. listening skills, concentration levels, perseverance, self-confidence, creativity, respect and sensitivity towards others. Children are given the opportunities to develop their musical abilities and knowledge through other curriculum areas where appropriate. Through responding to and playing a wide range of music, the children will be helped to understand how sounds are made, changed and organised.

Tradition 5 aims to unite us behind a common purpose and Tradition 3 reinforces this by dealing with a special case where groups have been diverted from their primary purpose in the past. Consider first the long form of Tradition Five from the appendix in the Big Book: Each Alcoholics Anonymous group ought to be a spiritual entity having but one primary purpose — that of carrying its message to the alcoholic who still suffers.
The phrase 'Its message' here means AA's message. It is defined by the preamble which is read out at every meeting: "Alcoholics Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from alcoholism." This indicates why it was advisable for many of us not to share in a meeting until we have all three to offer: experience and strength and hope, rather than just airing our own emotions and grievances. Many in AA share experience, but it is often forgotten that it is only that experience which reveals our strength and hope that is to be offered in a meeting. And that experience, strength and hope should all be directed, as the preamble tells us, towards helping others to recover from our common problem – alcoholism.
Tradition Five is a reason why someone who has had a drink should be stopped from speaking in a meeting. Someone who is drunk can be helped at a meeting (after all Bill W was drunk when got the message from his sponsor, Ebby), but they cannot give what they haven't got. And so if they have no sobriety, they cannot help others through their sharing.
Also, if anyone is disruptive in a meeting and diverting it from its primary purpose, they should be asked to be quiet or leave. If they continue to be disruptive, ultimately the police can be called to forcibly remove them. We have always found the police helpful in such cases.
There is another revealing phrase in the long form of this Tradition. We are told that each group is a "spiritual entity". An entity is something that is complete in itself. We can test whether or not a group fulfils this criterion by asking the question: "If all groups did as we did, would all alcoholics get the chance to stay sober?" Each group should aim, through a combination of sharing and personal sponsorship, to enable any suffering alcoholic to receive the full AA message. Sometimes we hear, for example, that it's okay to have meeting exclusively for men because women can go to other meetings. However, if all groups were Men's Meetings then women would have nowhere to go in AA. By this argument, such a meeting does not conform to Tradition Five.
This last point was considered so important that Tradition 3 was created to lend it extra weight. Read now the long form of Tradition 3 from the Big Book: Our membership ought to include all who suffer from alcoholism. Hence we may refuse none who wish to recover. Nor ought AA membership ever depend upon money or conformity. Any two or three alcoholics gathered together for sobriety may call themselves and AA group, provided that, as a group, they have no other affiliation.
Sometimes there is an argument for, for example, a Men's meeting is that it is part of a multimeeting group and the group as a whole, when all its meetings are taken into consideration (say Men's, Women's, Young Peoples, straight AA meeting), can be that spiritual entity which welcomes all alcoholics. We do not accept this argument. There is a distinction between a meeting and a group in organisational terms (a group has a single GSR and there may be several meetings that use the same GSR) but in this particular context there is no distinction. The tradition says: 'Any two or three alcoholics gathered together for sobriety may call themselves a group'. So in this context it would be an equivalent statement to say that every meeting must be a spiritual entity as well. As an individual, the single meeting that is aimed at one sort of alcoholic might be my home group. If this is so, then when I carry the message by sharing and doing service, I am restricting my usefulness to only certain alcoholics. As we can only get what we give away, I am necessarily limiting the quality of my sobriety – if I am placing limitations on who will hear my message, then I am limiting the benefits I can get in return. I am not giving it away as freely as I would be at a meeting that opened its doors willingly to all alcoholics.
So it is clear: every single meeting should be open to every single type of alcoholic. In respect of alcoholics, we want to be inclusive, not exclusive. No alcoholic should be barred, or even discouraged from going to any AA meeting because of whatever else they are (although they can be barred for what they do when they get there, as mentioned before). For example, some meetings in Great Britain aimed at a particular type of alcoholic, for example, a gay group, must have the words "non restrictive" included in the meeting description. The phrase is included to comply with Traditions 5 and 3. However, there is still a debate regarding this matter. Some would say, along with the writer, that even with the phrase "non restrictive" the effect is still to favour some alcoholics and discourage others, and so is against the spirit of the tradition which says specifically that membership should never depend on conformity.
Coming back to that phrase in the long form of Tradition Three: "any two or three people gathered together to form an AA group may call themselves an AA group provided that they have no other affiliation." This means that any group will go into the directory as long as it decides to call itself an AA group. They do not even have to conform to the traditions. The exception is if there is an affiliation to another organisation or class of people, actual or implied (this is clarified further in the long form of Tradition 6). For example, in London there are some meetings that will only admit doctors and others that will admit only lawyers. This is considered an implied affiliation to their respective professions. So AA says to them, of course you are free to meet, but you can't call yourselves an AA meeting and we will not put you in the AA directory. Those who see Men's, Womens, Young People's, Gay and Lesbian meetings as having a similar affiliation, argue that they should be removed from the directory too (a point hotly disputed by the groups themselves). In reporting this, there is no suggestion here that any AA member is anything but genuine in wishing to see the Traditions applied, or in wanting best for all alcoholics. More often that not, the difference arises not because any party has a lack of regard for the Traditions, but because of an honest difference in how the spirit of the Traditions can be applied.
There is one other thing. Tradition Three, states in its full form, that AA groups are for those who wish to recover from alcoholism. So a meeting is for those who can say they are alcoholics (or those who think that they might be). A combination of Tradition 3 and Tradition 5 reinforces the preamble and Step 12. An AA meeting is a place where one drunk helps another – this is how we solve our 'common problem', as referred to in the Preamble. The reason we keep going to meetings is because Step 12 tells us we must pass on what we have received. In accordance with this no one should share at an AA meeting until they are able to identify themselves as an alcoholic. And we should identify ourselves as an alcoholic only. We should not, for example, call ourselves 'addict' or even 'addict/alcoholic'. If we broaden the scope from our focus on alcoholism alone, we are being diverted from our primary purpose and reducing each member's opportunity to practise Step 12; and accordingly, reducing our chance to stay sober. Anyone can be a member of AA if the say they are and so when anyone in AA says: 'My name is [NAME] and I am an alcoholic.' No one can tell me I'm not.

mtstudios have two specialities:
Web Development
One of our "unfair advantages" at mtstudios is that our founders are both software engineers. Since 2003 we've been making bespoke web apps for various industries to help them streamline internal processes and take the complexities out of interactions with their customers.
We've engineered web apps with needs as diverse as filling empty cabs on their return journeys, hotel and event management, making remote staff check-in for work via a "selfie", truck-stop gate control and full lettings management – in short, if your business needs it, and you can imagine it, we can build it.
If you think your business would benefit from some web development and would like to discuss your ideas please use our Contact Form to let us know a little about your situation and start a conversation with one of our directors, Matt or Tony.
App Development
Our job is to make apps that do what you need them to do. If you don't know what you need your app to do, then we work with you until we clearly understand your business and you clearly understand what the app technology can offer a business like yours – then we get to work!
We build your app as efficiently as possible according to the agreed specification, at the agreed price. Simple.
The cost of our apps is always split into two equal payments, one of which isn't due until you're happy with the finished product, so you're safe. We have never put the price of a app up half way through a project, and never will.
The finished app will look great, work well, and allow future expansion. What more can we say?
If you have a great idea for an app please use our Contact Form to let us know a little about your situation and start a conversation with one of our directors, Matt or Tony.
Meet & Advise
We start any new relationship face-to-face; we find this builds trust and gives you a clear understanding of who we are and what we can do. Our goal is to learn about you, your situation and what you need.
Research & Proposal
Following our meeting we research our mutual plans to make sure they are feasible and give you the best possible change of success and a good return. We then write and send you a full proposal.
Build & Deliver
Within an agreed timeline we commence building your project, liaising with you throughout. Once delivered and signed off you still have 90 days to work out any problems with us – free of charge.

Electrical problems are common in any household or building. Even without professional help, you should have an idea as to how to address simple issues and concerns. Here are 12 common household problems and solutions you might encounter.
Quick Navigation
1. A Sudden Increase Or Burst In Current
Also known as transients or surges, a sudden increase or burst in current poses a dangerous risk for the electric equipment at home. Waves happen because of inconsistencies in the current flow, lightning strikes, power line damage, low-quality appliances, or a fault in the electrical connections you have at home. Transients can lead to degradation of the quality and lifespan of your electrical equipment.
Although surges only last a very, very short amount of time, if they become frequent occurrences, then that's when the problems start.
Solution: Immediately check the wires or the device connected to the home grid. If you notice or see cheap equipment that might contribute to the transients, remove them, and observe if the surges recur. Call for professional help if the first actions taken didn't work.
2. There Is No Residual Current Device (RCD)
Also known as RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker), the RCD detects current leakage. This separate device will automatically turn off switches if it senses a leak due to abnormal current. Professionals highly recommend getting your own RCCB/RCD to avoid electrical shocks and other unwanted accidents.
Solution: Hire an electrician to install an RCD in your home to avoid electrocution due to leakage, electric fire, and have protection against direct and indirect contact.
3. Issues In The Current Circuit
Issues in the current circuit can significantly damage your home's circuit breaker. Circuit breakers are specifically designed to "break" a circuit's flow that might be due to an abnormal current flow. Appliances such as the microwave and hair dryers require high wattage and are known to trip circuit breakers.
Solution: Check what appliance was in use that caused tripping in the circuit breaker. Or you can check the house's main electrical panel to manage all the leading control switches. Call an electrician if the problem continues and report any abnormal or different findings.
4. Purchasing Low-Quality Bulbs
In general, buying light bulbs that are not of high quality can add confusion as to what the real problem is. Having faulty light bulbs masks the real possible problem/s. These problems are high wattage, faulty wiring on the circuit and primary, poor circuit connection, and insulation that is too near to the light.
Solution: Look for high-quality bulbs and observe. If these bulbs still deplete and burn out too often, then it's time to call a professional to address the possible masked problems.
5. Inefficient Wiring
Wiring is critical to avoid accidents and maintained an organized setup. Inefficient installation is typical in old houses, buildings, and establishments. Although some remedy this problem by taping, over time, the adhesiveness also deteriorates and makes the wires fall off.
When setting up, make sure you correctly position the wires, and there is appropriate wiring.
Solution: Focus on avoiding electric shocks between different wires by securing them in place (if you live in an old house or occupy an old building). If you have the extra time and resources, have the sockets rewired by a professional to avoid future accidents and issues. This action will also save you the time and money in the future.
6. There Are Exposed Wires
Over time, wires get old and sometimes exposed due to cuts, holes, mice gnawing on wires, and so on. Although a regular thing, open and exposed wires need to be addressed immediately to avoid electrocution, electric shock, or combustion due to wires sticking together.
Solution: If you live in an old house, the primary thing to do is first to turn off the main power source and tape the wires using electrical tape. Buy electrical tape at your local hardware store. It's best to choose the known brands. However, keep in mind that this is not a permanent fix to the problem. To avoid future worries and ensure continuous safety, get a new wire and replace everything, or call you local electrician and let them put everything in place.
7. There Are No GFCIs
GFCI stands for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter. This device is essential for every home because it acts as a sensor and detector of human contact. Once it detects the human connection, the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter automatically shuts down the power. The absence of this device poses a high risk of electrocution. If you have children at home, then this device is perfect for you. You don't have to worry about freak accidents and unwanted circumstances.
Solution: Visit the hardware store and look for high-quality GFCIs of known brands to ensure the safety of your home and make it child-proof.
8. Using Aluminum Wires
Contrary to what most households know, aluminum causes a lot of electrical accidents. Aluminum's susceptibility causes these accidents to oxidation. When in direct contact with combustible equipment, plastic, or even wood, there is a high risk of having electrical accidents.
Presently, copper is now used in houses and buildings to decrease electrical accidents further. Search for high-quality copper wires instead.
Solution: As easy as it sounds, replacing aluminum wires with copper wires also require professional help. Regarding the type of cable to be used and what organization you should do, always seek professional advice. Specialized organization of wires ensures 100% safety.
9. Absent Grounding System
Not having a grounding system causes ungrounded connections. Without a grounding system, there is no pathway for excess electricity when there are electrical problems such as short circuits. In addition to this, the excess power may spread to other materials of the house (wood, metal, etc.) and cause fires or electrical accidents.
In appliances, there is such a thing known as the "grounding pin," that prevents shock and electrocution if the machine is malfunctioning.
Solution: Hire professionals to install grounding systems all over the house and appliances as well to ensure overall safety.
10. Current Inconsistencies
Inconsistencies are widely known as "sags and dips," which are kind of similar to transients and surges. If your house has low quality and cheap power grids, chances are, if you open the switch, this will result in drawing more electricity than what the appliance needs. This phenomenon causes sags and dips.
Solution: Check if your power controlling device is up to date. If not, it's time to visit the hardware and replace it with a new one.
11. Switches That Don't Work Efficiently
Switches that don't work efficiently is because of old equipment, faulty wiring, or abnormal circuits. You might observe that when you on and off switches at your home, it doesn't work like it used to. There is a possibility of these switches overridden as well.
Solution: To fully know the problem, talk with your electrician, and discuss the possible causes. Allow your electrician to address the situation and guide you throughout the best solution there is.
12. Constantly Having High Electricity Bills
As much as you want to blame the high bill on excessive usage of appliance or accidentally leaving the T.V open, it could mean another problem. If the electricity bill is still high and it continues to happen over time, here are possible causes of an unwanted increase in electricity usage:
- Electricity leakages.
- Faulty wiring in the house.
- Damaged circuits.
- Old electrical equipment that is known to consume more than what's needed.
Solution: First observe the appliances used in your home. Take note of the watts needed and the electricity usage of each, to give you a rough estimate of how much electricity you're using. If the computations aren't the same as the bill, then consult with a professional as to what the next step should be. Other simple solutions are as follows:
- Unplug appliances that are not in use, even if they are turned off. These still acquire electricity.
- Repair faulty circuits and wiring.
- Frequently check for leakage.
- List down accurate watt usage of equipment/appliances.
Always monitor your home for any electrical problems and concerns. But if there comes a time that home solutions don't do the trick, never hesitate to call your local electrician. Always address electrical concerns seriously, and you must seek professional help at all times.
Your home's safety, as well as your family's, is your responsibility.

So this weekend was a truly awesome one. We went to Hampyeong to a butterfly Festival. A note of warning, if you are going there just to see butterflies, you will be sorely disappointed. Feel free to count the number of pictures I have with real butterflies in them and figure out a percentage versus reality of their existence at said festival.
A couple of videos too.

Wednesday August 23, 2017
Total BTC mined: 0.10197878
Total BTC mined USD: $430.13 (based on today's current exchange rate)
Total Spent: $1891.50
Remaining to break even: $1461.37
We've now surpassed two milestones on the same day with overall Bitcoin mined jumping past 0.1 BTC while value soared past $400 on a stunning rally that saw the currency jump $330 over the last day. It's so funny how this can change day to day and I'm sure you see it in my blog entries where one day I'm really enthusiastic then the next day my mood is more pessimistic.
Honestly no one knows how the currency will perform day to day and if you follow the "experts" on social media you'll see a lot of the calls they make on where Bitcoin will go are pretty far off, even with various pattern recognition algorithms. The reality is that this doesn't trade like any asset I've ever seen.
The spike in price has yet to impact Bitcoin Mining difficulty as it is still projected to go down roughly 3.8% within the next 11 hours. Should prices stay as they are that means that I should be in for a good run over the next 11-12 days with high Bitcoin prices and lower difficulty increasing my daily yield. Of course Bitcoin could be $2,000 next week or maybe $20,000 … at this rate I have no idea.
In other news, there is a major battle brewing between Core and Segwit2x folks. It's a little higher level than what I normally write so I'll link out to an article instead.

This is a video tutorial in the Magic & Parlor Tricks category where you are going to learn how to do card tricks: "Mismag822" card trick revealed. This is really easy for beginners. Ask someone to tell you a number from one to ten and count up those many cards from the deck and place them face down on a table. Now count out the same number of cards two more times and put them on the table. Then ask them to place the rest of the pack on any one of the piles. Next ask them to pick up any one of the other two piles, shuffle it and memorize the top card, for example king of diamonds. Place the card on top of the pile and place the pile on top of the deck and take the remaining pile on top of the deck. Now take the deck in your hand give it one shuffle and tell them when you spell out my name is "mis mag a2" your card will be there. Do this and reveal the king of diamonds.

Daniel Zimmer's Illustration Magazine
Secondly this week I want to hopefully introduce of a few of you to Daniel Zimmer's superb Illustration Magazine. Produced by The Illustrated Press, the folks who brought us the excellent reference books 41 Illustrators, Norman Saunders and H.J. Ward, this quarterly publication documents the finest commercial illustration of the past from areas of popular culture including pulp magazines, paperbacks, comic books, advertising, fashion and more. This beautifully made magazine features full colour reproductions of original artwork throughout, along with insightful articles on the individual artist's working process, often including rare studio photographs and working drawings. You can expect to find among its pages a broad spectrum of work ranging from the highly popular Haddon H. Sundblom (originator of Coca-Cola's classic Santa Clause) to the unsung and long forgotten Perry Peterson (see below). No other magazine available today offers so much education on these past masters and it's editorial team should be appluded for their work in insuring that this important work isn't overlooked. Seek it out at your local book shop or follow the links below. This should be top of every illustrator and illustration fan's reading list.

Bernet – By Manuel Auad
Bernet by Manuel Auad collects the work of Spanish comic book artist Jordi Bernet, known for his work on the Belgian comics magazine Spirou, Torpedo, a short run on Batman and most recently Jonah Hex. Introduced by Will Eisner and with comment from many others including Joe Kubert, this is a collection of noir tinged (not to mention rather saucy) pen and ink work that displays a seemingly effortless style that many illustrators seek to attain. In Eisner's introduction he states states;
"Here was a man who was producing pure story-telling art. That is art that uses the kind of minimalism so singular to his draftsmanship that is actually a narrative device in itself. This fit into my own philosophy of sequential narrative art. I pursued the progress of his work with great interest".
A glance through the book shows just how fitting a statement this is and the similarities in style of the two artists becomes very evident. Both have a confident looseness to their brush that seems to offer more visual information than is really there with equally effective layout and page design. A sure sign of an artist at the top of their game and a book worth studying for anyone attempting to master brush, pen and ink, myself included!

ADEN, Yemen - Air defences of the Saudi Arabia-led coalition, destroyed two ballistic missiles fired by the Houthi rebels, at the Red Sea coastal city of Hodeidah, a Yemeni government official said.
The Houthi rebels targeted government-controlled areas in Durayhmi of Hodeidah province, but the Saudi-led air defences aborted the missile attack successfully, the government source said.
"The Saudi-led coalition protected the thousands of citizens living in government-controlled areas and destroyed the two missiles over the city's airspace," the government source said.
Media outlets affiliated with the United Arab Emirates, which is leading the anti-Houthi offensive in Hodeidah, reported that, a drone loaded with explosives was destroyed on its way towards the city.
No casualties were reported as a result of the two coordinated Houthi attacks.
Earlier in the day, sources of the pro-government Giants Brigades confirmed that, the Houthi fighters launched an all-out attack against key military positions belonging to the Saudi-led coalition forces in Hodeidah.
The Houthis lost scores of its fighters during the attack, that was repulsed by the Saudi-led coalition forces.
The Yemeni government is seeking to expel the Houthi rebels out of the strategic city of Hodeidah in recent days, despite warnings by international humanitarian agencies.

How to Achieve Total Independence on Your Next Trip
Posted in: Blog
For those with a nomadic, work-and-travel lifestyle, independent travel goes part and parcel with the wonderful, unique and memorable experiences that they seek. For such travelers, package tours, holiday resorts, and en masse coach trips are far too structured, far too narrow. Instead, nomads seek independence of movement, thought and experience. In order to get to this beautifully free and easy place, you'll need to make sure you're planning your trips in the right way. This article offers five tips that'll help you travel with total independence the next time you board your flight.
Don't Book
It might seem a precarious piece of advice, but booking yourself into hostels, hotels or guesthouses – and booking transport links between them – prevents you from improvising your itinerary. You'll forever be dashing to the next booking in order to save money and see all you planned to see – even if you have a strong urge to settle in one place for longer than you'd expected. Refraining from booking might mean your itinerary is a little less perfect, but it gives you the wiggle room to accommodate niceties you encounter on the road.
Go Blind
Many people choose to travel with a guidebook or with the smartphone, on which they can access forums, blogs and popular advice sites such as TripAdvisor. The problem with all of these platforms is that you'll be funnelled through the tourist experience in much the same way as everyone else. Instead, go in blind and work with the advice you receive on the road; it'll lead you to serendipitous meetings and curious oddities that no one else has found.
Learn the Lingo
While a guidebook might not give you independence, a pocket language guide can certainly help you achieve a greater degree of independence while abroad. It's especially useful to take a couple of language classes while you're still at home, and then develop your language skills in whichever country you're visiting. You'll earn greater respect and develop better relationships speaking to people in their first language instead of always resorting to English to communicate.
Rent Transport
Independence of movement is something that'll open doors for you as you travel. While the hardcore often choose to cycle, hike or even walk through countries at their own pace, most independent travelers prefer the road-trip format of traveling. Simply search car rental near me online to find a provider anywhere in the world who'll be able to get you into a vehicle in no time at all, allowing you to explore the country you're visiting at your own pace.
Off the Beaten Track
The final item of advice is to always seek the unknown, the unvisited, and the under-appreciated. Yes, big sites are a must when you visit a country with famed attractions such as India's Taj Mahal or Sydney's Opera House, but finding yourself in smaller villages, roadside diners and untouched areas of natural beauty is the ultimate reward for independent travelers looking for a taste of the unique and the different.
