Companies need aggressive marketing nowadays and business proprietors know very well that without marketing, it's virtually impossible to offer the goal that they're striving. The things they also know is this fact task just sounds easy although not that simple in performing.
Poor marketing, sign writing could be pretty effective, but locating a professional signwriter that has plenty of experience and it has affordable rates is difficult nowadays. Based on vehicle sign writing in Sydney firms, the very first preference ought to be provided to person to person referral. If you're searching for such signwriter, the first preference ought to be asking the folks surrounding you. Request your buddies, neighbors, relatives, co-workers and employees, when they know a specialist in almost any type of sign writing, especially shop display signs, because for any store-owner that's the initial step of promotion. Listed here are a couple of more ideas to follow, while heading out hunting for a vehicle sign writing in Sydney firm.
Don't take a look at cheap shop display signs
You'll want heard the old cliche "pay cheap and pay two times". Exactly the same theory is applicable while employing an automobile sign writing in Sydney firm. Just consider this for any second that with you asking for million occasions, the store display signs maker provides you with a 50% discount on his rates. But however, he compromises with the standard from the initial step. Consequently, you receive missing out on the success that you ought to be receiving. Is that this good or employing something provider, provide him a couple of dollars extra and making certain that his work produces a boom of the title, once released on the market is much better.
The 2nd step – search engines like Google
Suppose, you aren't pleased with the store display signs designers that you approached with the person to person referral system. Take it easy because the traditional Internet is definitely there to the save. You are able to rapidly get onto Google and look for a conflate signs company in your neighborhood. Make sure to ignore page one completely since the companies showing up there should have taken care of Search engine optimization and also to make it happen. A just right the first page of Google isn't the success parameter as you will find techniques used in reaching there.
Now move onto page two and begin opening those sites one-by-one. Leave all of the alluring pages and mind right to reviews and recommendations page. After that you'll have a better concept of how that company had carried out previously and just how the clients had responded to the services. Don't forget to go to the portfolio to possess a much deeper appearance of their working style and just how much to follow the most recent trends prevailing on the market. One, you're convinced with everything else you are able to make contact with the organization and initiate discussions then deal finalization.

Description Of Works
|The Glasgow Royal Infirmary (GRI) is a large teaching hospital, operated by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde. With a capacity of around 1000 beds, the hospital campus covers an area of around 20 acres, situated on the north-eastern edge of the city centre of Glasgow, Scotland.
Designed by Robert and James Adam, the original Royal Infirmary building was opened in December 1794. The infirmary was built beside Glasgow Cathedral on land that held the ruins of the Bishop's Castle, which dated from at least the 13th century but had been allowed to fall into disrepair. A Royal Charter was obtained in 1791, which granted the Crown-owned land to the hospital. The original Adams building had five floors (one underground) holding eight wards (giving the hospital just over a hundred beds) and a circular operating room on the fourth floor with a glazed dome ceiling. After a number of additional buildings were added, the first in 1816, a specialist fever block in 1829 and a surgical block in 1861. Following the amalgamation of the old St. Mungo's College of Medicine into the University of Glasgow Medical School in 1947, the old College buildings on Castle Street officially became part of the hospital campus, until their replacement by the New Building in the early 1980s.
The original Adams building was replaced in 1914 with a new building designed by James Miller and opened by King George V. In 1924, the surgical block in which Joseph Lister had worked was also torn down to be replaced. In 1948 the hospital became part of NHS Scotland.
Visions of a brand new hospital on the site had been part of the Bruce Report as early as the late 1940s, but by 1974, the Greater Glasgow Health Board had formally begun plans for the replacement of the 1914 Miller buildings with a brand new building. This would be located on the north of the hospital site overlooking Alexandra Parade and the M8 motorway. The New Building was designed by Sir Basil Spence in a "modular" fashion, where new blocks could be easily added in phases as funding allowed. In the end, only the first phase of Spence's original design was implemented and was finally completed around 1982. Known as the Queen Elizabeth Building, it also incorporated new accommodation for the hospital's teaching departments, thus replacing the old St. Mungo's College buildings. The new complex is linked to the Surgical Block of the original Royal Infirmary building at basement level via a link corridor, with a further pedestrian entrance at lower basement level on Wishart Street (adjacent to the Necropolis). Since 1982 the pre-1915 buildings of the Infirmary have been protected as a category B listed building.
After the closure of the Rutherglen Maternity Hospital and the Glasgow Royal Maternity Hospital, a new maternity block was added to the New Building; the Princess Royal Maternity building opened in 2001. Following the closure of Canniesburn Hospital, in 2005 the Jubilee building was opened, adding purpose-built Accident & Emergency facilities and a plastic surgery unit, this development also saw a new multi-storey car park built over the former site of St. Mungo's College. Following the transfer of the Golden Jubilee Hospital (formerly the infamous HCI Hospital) in Clydebank to public ownership, much of the Cardiology specialism was moved from GRI to the newer facility. The Infirmary now has over one thousand beds. Despite the new developments, the original Edwardian buildings continue to be used and are likely to remain in use for the foreseeable future.
Marmac Services Limited was contracted to Redpath Construction to Supply and install the infrastructure required by the new department.
The brief was to extend the mains services from the existing Glasgow Royal Infirmary to the newly constructed Plastics Departments.
The works comprised the removal of asbestos, existing ceilings, doors and finishes etc. structural alterations and reinstatement. This facilitated the installation of new mains supplies which were run from within existing buildings across landscaped areas to new plant rooms where connections were made distribution boards etc. Data and telecommunication systems etc, were reinstated or renewed as required.
Works were completed within a live hospital environment.
This involved the following services:-
• Medical Gases
Given the age and complexity of this facility and due to the system critical nature of the services the project required military precision project management. Health and safety is regarded as paramount and the standards that are demanded include legislative CDM and in many particular case are beyond normal legislation.
Many of the areas we were required to access were not only used by the hospital staff, public access had to remain open and fully accessible at all times.
The project was completed ahead of schedule and within budget.

Sketch of the Lorient, 61 Sqd., February 1943. The crew were F/Sgt H.T. Goodwin, Sgt Lewis, W/O Rooney, Sgt Baggs, Sgt Hamblett, Sgt Sampson and Sgt Jones.
American-born H. Terry Goodwin, who joined the RCAF in 1941.
"You just did everything you were supposed to do and it worked out okay in my case."
I'm Terry Goodwin and I served with the Royal Canadian Air Force. And when I was lining up to get my uniform in February of 1941, somebody said, "Who's from the west?" And a lot of hands went up. "Who's from the east?" A few more hands went up. And then somebody said, "And who's from the States?" And a lot of hands went up. In fact, at that particular time, 50 percent of the intake here in Toronto were from the States.
Now, I'd never been in an aircraft until I got my first dual instruction in a De Havilland Tiger Moth on July 15, 1941. And I got my wings on a Harvard St. Dunville December the 5th. Now that's two days before Pearl Harbor. Christmas of '41 was in Halifax in a blizzard and then 17 days in convoy to England. I flew Lancasters, which are four-engine aircraft had a great deal of flexibility in their bomb loads and did an excellent job. They did have a loss ration in bomber command, at that time, of approximately 5 percent on each raid. So that after you'd done ten trips, you'd used up 50 percent of your chances. Twenty trips, you'd used up all your chances, but your tour was thirty trips. It didn't work out quite that way because some people afterwards, pulling all the figures apart, figured that maybe 10 or 11 percent got through their first and second tours.
But then after instructing for six months I was sent back and this time on Mosquitoes, which were a wooden aircraft designed to carry a thousand pounds of bombs. When they test flew it they decided it should carry two thousand. And that's the way we got it. Ours had all bombs and no guns. But, obviously, there were other models that had lots of guns for various different purposes. Or mixtures of guns and bombs. So we had these two thousand pound Mosquitoes, Mark IV B, and then they went ahead and increased the bomb bay and we carried a four thousand pounder. A cookie. We carried that first to the Ruhr and then, eventually, all the way to Berlin. And it kept Jerry awake many, many nights.
Now as far as flying on Mosquitoes are concerned, that aircraft was a joy to fly. It had an unfortunate habit of wanting to swing to the left on take off because of the high torque, perhaps rotating. It was touch and go getting off. But the loss rate was considerably lower on Mosquitoes. They were very fast and on our very first trip when we were making this white condensation trails... con trails... we were chased a Focke-Wulf 190 and actually ran away from him. It was an advantage to fly them even though there were no guns. You just did everything you were supposed to do and it worked out okay in my case.

What is the Risk Of Doing Your Own HVAC Repairs
Most homeowners realize that there are a number of limitations that they have. Not every repair issue that comes up in a home will be able to be fixed by the homeowner. Having a fully functional HVAC unit is an essential part of maintaining a comfortable household. Getting professional air conditioning repair Calgary, is the only way to save yourself a lot of trouble during this process. Below are some of the risks that come along with trying to repair your own HVAC unit.
Creating a Bigger Problem For Yourself
There are a number of dangers that come with this type of DIY repair, but among the most dangerous is the fact that more damage can be done with the unit. An HVAC professional will know how to work on a unit without making problems worse. This means that by letting them do the work, you can save time and money. Merely banging around on a unit until a problem is discovered will make this process much more frustrating for a homeowner and the repair professionals they eventually hire.
You Have No Idea What Parts Need to be Replaced
The only way that an HVAC unit can be properly diagnosed is through troubleshooting. This process involves inspecting the unit and pinpointing any issues that may exist. For the most part, a homeowner does not have the experience or the tools to do this type of work. Attempting to troubleshoot a unit without a good bit of experience will usually lead to misdiagnosis. Without knowledge of what is wrong, a homeowner runs the risk of replacing the wrong elements on their unit. This means that they will be wasting money and resources due to their attempt at DIY repairs.
Your Repair Solutions Usually Won't Last
Getting a comprehensive repair done to an HVAC unit is something that only a professional can do. A homeowner will usually fix the symptom of their underlying issues, which means that it is only a matter of time before the unit malfunctions again. Rather than having to deal with the stress that this can cause, a homeowner can find the right HVAC professionals to give them hand. The money that is paid to the professionals will be more than worth it considering the results they can garner.
Hiring professionals that are familiar with your brand of HVAC unit is the best way to ensure the right repairs are performed. While finding the right professionals may take some time, it will pay off when you are able to get the right repairs done.

Your Medicare Enrollment Checklist
Ready to enroll during the Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (AEP), but not sure of the plan that's right for you? Use this checklist to help you decide.
Know your current coverage and what you want out of a new plan
In order to know what you want in a new plan, it's important to know what's not working for you with your current plan. Write down what your current plan is lacking. For instance, do you need prescription drug coverage (Medicare Part D)? Or vision and dental benefits? Are you looking for a plan that offers fitness programs in addition to health care coverage? Write down the coverage and benefits you want in your new plan. You can reference this list during enrollment to help you choose the best plan for your needs.
Talk with a licensed Aetna representative
Monday-Friday 8am to 6pm CT
Know what you can — and cannot —do during AEP
Before you make any decisions about changing your Medicare coverage, it's important to brush up on the facts of AEP to understand what you can and cannot do during this time, so you can plan for the changes you want. You can't, for example, enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan (Medicare Part C) if you don't already have Medicare Parts A and B (either through Original Medicare or through a Medicare Advantage plan). You can, however, enroll in a prescription drug plan (Part D) if you have Medicare Part A and/or B.
Check Star Ratings
Medicare Advantage plans and Part D plans are rated by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) on a scale of one to five stars, with five stars being the highest ranking a plan can receive. These ratings determine how well a plan performs in several different categories. So, along with looking for a plan that fits your needs, it's important to take plans' Star Ratings into account, too.
Talk to your doctor, family, friends, and neighbors
Your doctor knows the state of your health and what kind of care you might need in the future — like screenings and tests. So bring a list of questions to your next doctor appointment or give your doctor's office a call and have a conversation about your health. Based on that conversation, you'll know the health services you might need covered in the upcoming year. So you can be sure to pick a plan that will offer the coverage you need.
If you have family, friends, and neighbors who have gone through the AEP process already, you can ask them about their experience.
Calculate and compare the costs of plans
All Medicare Advantage plans and Part D plans have different premiums, deductibles, out-of-pocket costs, and copays associated with them. It's important to take these costs into account when choosing a plan to make sure the coverage will meet your health and financial needs. Write down what you feel comfortable spending on health care each month and for the whole year, then estimate what your costs will be per month and year for the plans you're interested in. You can compare the costs across different plans to find the one that works best for you.
Know the rules and restrictions associated with plans
The rules and restrictions for Medicare Advantage plans vary from plan to plan. Some plans require you to go to doctors and providers that are in the plan's network (HMO plans), while others allow you to go out of network for care but require you to pay higher out-of-pocket costs for these services (PPO plans). Part D plans and Medicare Advantage plans that offer prescription drug coverage have different formularies (a list of prescription drugs the plan will cover) across all plans, too. So it's important to understand the prescriptions and services your plan will and will not cover before you enroll. Otherwise, you risk spending a lot more money out of your own wallet for your medicines and care.
Enroll by December 7
AEP runs from October 15 to December 7. So be sure to complete this checklist and enroll in a plan before the December 7 deadline. Otherwise, you may be stuck with your current coverage for another year.
If you have any questions about a particular plan and what it offers, you can call the plan to learn more about its specific coverage. Once you enroll, your new coverage will start January 1 of the following year.

Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing. - Warren Buffett
If you mention Buffett's quote above to most people, you'll likely get a nod that says "oooh, that's deep". But if you ask them what they think it means, you will likely get confused stares.
In this article, I will explain what Buffett means when he says risk comes from ignorance. In fact, this quote reveals the way we see risk, and how he sees it differently from how many other people see risk.

It's a thought-provoking talk, and well worth reading / watching.

Negative feelings trigger the production of cortisol, a stress hormone that can do everything from thin your hair to boost cravings for sugary foods and cause the body to store extra fat. Stress-induced acne is another dreaded way that your tense mood can show on the surface. Again, your hormones are to blame.
The cells that make sebum (an oily matter in the skin that mixes with dead skin cells and bacteria to clog hair follicles and create pimples) have receptors for stress hormones. It's suggested that they start to overproduce when you're frazzled, causing that stubborn acne. This same frazzled mindset can also get in the way of collagen production, which is essential for building beautiful, healthy skin.
I know it's easier said than done, but make it a priority to bring daily joy into your life. Find things that make you happy and help you unwind. Not only will you feel much better, but you'll even look better, too!

Hi Anne
Perhaps not considered 'mature' but I'm an adult learner (I'm 30 now). I started a couple of years ago and I love it
Are you having lessons? What sort of stage are you at?
Hope you're having fun learning.

Hello, again!
Posted 03 December 2013 - 03:56
Cardboard ones might be worth a look. Kit form. Very affordable. Sound surprisingly good! in the hands of pros very good indeed but beware - tends to be the start of a harp family increasing in size and cost. Very small however and no levers so stuck in whatever key you tune to. Or the ebay Pakistani ones but buyer beware as some fall apart on opening although some people have been lucky with them.
The problem with tiny harps is how to hold them. There are various lap devices and hangers off your body but it never seems very easy.
Posted 03 December 2013 - 10:54
I am an older harp player, I started 3 1/2 years ago and I have a Triplett Signature, and a Camac Bardic for my daughter who also plays lever harp. It has got to be my first instrument now, I took Grade 4 a year ago and am working on my Grade 5 now.
Welcome to the wonderful world of harps! And I agree with GMc, my daughter started on a cardboard harp and they aren't too bad at all! The Pakistani ones, even those that aren't Rosewood, I haven't heard any good reports of, they tend not to stay in tune at all, and can be untuneable before long.
Posted 12 December 2013 - 08:53
I started with a very cheap Pakistani one from ebay. I knew nothing about harps then, so didn't realise the bad reputation they have. It was a total impulse buy. It really wasn't too bad. It didn't have any levers but that wasn't a problem as I was only playing very basic tunes at that stage. It needed tuning at the start of each practise but it held its tune for long enough to play, and because I was retuning to other keys it wasn't really a problem. I thought the tone was very good (well - until I got a real one anyway but to the beginner ear it made a pleasant noise)
I totally agree they are entry-level drugs though! I had it about 6 months before deciding I needed a "real" one.
I don't regret it for a second though. It was cheaper than 6 months' rental, and I never would have decided to spend over £1,000 (eek!) on an instrument that I hadn't even tried, so it was a good investment and I still have it now, and my daughter has taken it to school for performance when I was too mean to let her take my good one!
PS Carno - I have replied on your other thread. Welcome to the forum.

Hello I am a new member. I am learning to play the harp.

That sounds like pretty good progress, Angel!
Good luck with the exam and let us know how it goes. What pieces are you doing?
I've been playing for about 3.5 years now and hope to do Grade 6 next term. I can sort of play my pieces but they don't sound very musical to me However, just a case of practice and perseverance I hope.
What kind of harp do you have?
Posted 14 March 2015 - 02:15
Posted 16 March 2015 - 13:25
That's a good story and sounds like you've got a lot motivating you to keep going
Those pieces are really nice, I played the Bach and Mountain Stream for my Grade 2 I think. It's a lot easier to practise and improve when you love your pieces.
I've loved the look and sound of the harp for quite a while - it's just so amazing. I had to take quite a lot of exams for my job so back in Summer 2011 I decided that if I passed the exam I'd just sat (a big one) I would reward myself by getting some lessons. I did pass and managed to arrange a trial lesson a month later. Never looked back
I started out with a small lever harp from Morley Harps. This was great for beginners and also cheaper just in case I didn't really take to it. I got myself a Salvi Aurora two years ago and I love it.
I think my main goal now needs to be finding ways to play with and in front of others as I think this would really help me improve.
Do come back and report on how your exam goes!

That is one of the great things about harps. I think it's such an encouraging instrument for beginners as you don't get horrid squeaks out of it.
I didn't keep the smaller harp for several reasons. My teacher had a new student who was looking to get one second hand so it seemed a good time to pass it on. Also, most of the pieces I learn now require the pedals so I wouldn't be able to play them very easily on a lever harp. It also seemed a bit of a shame to have it sitting there unplayed most of the time!
It's hard to deny that regular practice is the key to improvement. However, there are certainly times when a day or two off seems to allow my fingers/brain time to process what they're trying to do and it seems to improve after a rest.
For the exam I think it's important to mentally prepare yourself as much as anything else. Have run throughs where you go straight through all pieces and don't stop for mistakes. Try to play for people as you might find this increases the pressure and you make more mistakes than normal!
Some people don't like to practise on the day of the exam itself. I usually do though although just a run through and some warming up. Also make sure your harp is tuned before you travel and again once you get there Best of luck.

Posted 07 April 2015 - 12:05
The exam is over!
The exam started well but as soon as I was asked to play a scale in E-Minor. I just went blank and after a few moments decided to admit to the examiner. Unperturbed the examiner asked me to chose a minor scale. I promised her she could ask for any one of the two remaining and she did. That scale was fine. I had opted to to my scales, arpeggios, aural and sight reading before playing my pieces. Next time I'll play the pieces first. The consensus for playing scales first was to warm up a bit before he pieces but quite honestly it wasn't necessary - my exam was at home.
Sight reading...... I really don't know what to say about this. In my pre-exam attempts I always did well, according to my teacher. I started off right but ventured off the path and perhaps went a bit slow towards the end. The aural is difficult to call because he examiner kept a pleasant neutral expression, just saying thank you after each of my answers.
When I did get to play the pieces I felt a lot less nervous, I genuinely believed it would be more stressful to play the pieces first. I did have a couple of mistakes and one serious collapse but funnily enough I was able to keep the melody going. I missed a part of the left hand for a bar but caught up and played on. I was delighted to be able to do that so easily. By the time I got to my third piece, the last two bars another glitch - happily I went on the play the big finish but at this stage my fingers were shaky and trying to latch onto the correct strings - I was glad the exam was over.
I'm going to book the next practical exam as soon as the bookings open - my nerves will not get the better of me!
In the meantime I'm looking for any advice or tips on how to keep nerves under control during exams. I was much better as a child singing in Eisteddfods and as a young adult singing solo in public. What on earth happens as we get older!
Hi Angel
It sounds like it went really well! The mistakes you describe all seem very much within the expected level of exam nerves screw-ups. The important thing is it sounds like you carried on regardless and didn't let it affect you.
Here's hoping for an excellent result!

News Releases
Drought Update: Emergency Outdoor Water Use Restrictions in Place for Redwood City Communit
For Immediate Release
September 15, 2014
Redwood City, CA - With California in the midst of one of the most serious droughts in the state's recorded history, it's clear to everyone that we're facing a real water emergency. To help our community do its part, and in compliance with State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) directives, Redwood City has adopted emergency drought regulations which include temporary restrictions on outdoor water use (see the City Council staff report for details).
These regulations state:
- The direct application of water to any hard surface for washing is prohibited;
- Watering of outdoor landscaping that causes runoff to adjacent property, non-irrigated areas, private and public walkways, roadways, parking lots or structures is prohibited;
- Using a hose to wash an automobile, unless the hose is fitted with a shut-off nozzle is prohibited; and
- Using potable water in a fountain or decorative water feature, unless water is recirculated, is prohibited.
"The Redwood City community has done a remarkable job of conserving water over the last decade, and more," said Redwood City Mayor Jeffrey Gee. "In fact, we beat of our water use reduction targets for the year 2020 nine years early, in 2011, through recycled water, community water conservation programs, and water use reductions in City operations. We know what needs to be done to save water during this drought - and together we can make it happen!"
This handy list of OUTDOOR WATER DOs & DON'Ts will help community members to reduce local water use, and contribute to the statewide cooperative effort to address this historic drought. More information is online at the City's water conservation page:www.redwoodcity.org/conservation.
- Use a broom, instead of a hose, to clean driveways and sidewalks
- Prevent runoff by checking for leaks, misdirected, or blocked spray in your sprinkler system
- Use the "cycle and soak" watering method, giving time for the water to be absorbed into the soil and avoid run-off. For example if you need 8 minutes of watering, then use 2 start times one hour apart with a 4 minute run time each
- Use a car wash that reuses water
- Consider draining your fountain during the drought
- Reduce water use in your irrigation by:
- Watering at night to prevent evaporation
- Getting a voucher for free high efficiency sprinkler nozzles (www.freesprinklernozzles.com)
- Converting lawn to drought tolerant native plants or other water efficient landscapes, and consider our Lawn Be Gone! Rebate Program (redwoodcity.org/conservation)
- Don't water your yard more than twice a week
- Residential addresses ending with odd numbers water on Monday and Thursday
- Residential addresses ending with even numbers water on Tuesday and Friday
(specified outdoor watering days allow for more accurate tracking of residential outdoor water use versus indoor water use; does not apply to large landscapes with a water meter dedicated only to irrigation - those properties are required to reduce outdoor water use by 20%)
- Don't overwater your yard - no runoff onto the street, sidewalk, or next door
- Don't use a hose to wash down driveways and sidewalks
- Don't wash your car at home without an automatic shutoff nozzle
- Don't use water in decorative fountains unless it recirculates
Redwood City's efforts are focusing on information, education, and outreach to help residents and businesses comply with these new outdoor water use restrictions.
The City's water use reduction philosophy is: "We're all in this together!" - and that means all of Redwood City's water users including residents, businesses, schools, and those involved in the City's own operations.
What should someone do if they see a need for water-use education? If over-use of water is observed, community members should let the City know that drought assistance is needed, by calling 650-780-7436, or using the myRWC smartphone app (redwoodcity.org/myrwc - click on "Request a Service" and then select "Drought Assistance"). The City will then provide direct water use reduction information and support to help reduce that property's water over-use. Potential fines would only be used as a last resort.
The City continues to lead by example in conserving water in its own operations:
- The City's recycled water is used on all of the street medians, on most of the landscaping on Seaport Blvd and all of the grounds around our police department, and many public properties in Redwood Shores
- Eight athletic fields have been converted to synthetic turf, saving millions of gallons of water annually
- All of the City's large parks (and many smaller ones) have "smart" irrigation controllers that automatically control the flow of water based on weather conditions and will shut down the system and alert staff when there are line breaks
- In certain median areas, we're replacing traditional fixed spray heads with slow application rate stream rotors
- Broken or malfunctioning irrigation lines, valves, or sprinkler heads are immediately repaired when discovered
- Many of the plants on City property have been converted to drought-tolerant species
- The City offers recycled water to contractors for construction use/dust control
- Water features at Stafford, Stulsaft, Spinas, and Fleishman parks have been turned off
More water-saving tools, information, and assistance are available on the City's water conservation web page, www.redwoodcity.org/conservation. Up-to-date information on statewide drought conditions is available online at http://ca.gov/drought.

What data we store
For each student registered on the DFM Homework Platform, we store their name, email address, and encrypted password (the original of which is not retrievable by any individual, including administrators), year group (where specified), school name (where specified) and usage data, in terms of questions completed and summative accuracy data. No other personal information beyond name and email address are stored.
For each teacher, we store the above data (in addition to their title), but also what classes he/she administers.
Who can access what data
Students can access only their own data after log in. Accounts must initially be verified via an activation email.
Teachers can access assessment data of any student within the school. They can also see what students at their school are logged in and what question they might currently be completing. Teachers can administer student accounts, for example changing their email address or changing their class(es). The email address is viewable only if the domain extension (i.e. after the '@') matches that set for the school; it is otherwise not displayed with an indication that a personal email address was used.
Special 'multi-academy trust administrator' accounts can access data across schools within a trust and set assessments/homeworks to students in these schools. Approval for such accounts will only be granted with appropriate evidence of the individual's responsibilities within the trust.
We not allow (nor have the functionality to accommodate) teachers being able to access the data of multiple schools (other than in the capacity above). Individuals teaching at more than one school should register separately for each school.
Only administrators can view data from other schools to ensure the smooth running of the platform. Currently this is only myself (a full-time teacher) and Mr Dupont-Panon (also a full-time teacher). Both individuals naturally have full DBS clearance. DrFrostMaths acts as data processors for your school.
All administrators and processors of the data by DrFrostMaths are subject to confidentiality for all school owned data that will remain indefinitely even after cessation of services.
Students whose total 'points' puts them in the top few globally, will be automatically listed on the global leaderboard, with their name and school appearing. However it should be noted that (a) full names are not given, with only the first name and surname initial given and (b) schools can opt out of the global leaderboard by contacting me at
. This is viewable to any registered user, but will not be published elsewhere. The same applies to the times table time trial leaderboard. 'Trust' leaderboards are viewable to other leaderboards within the same Multi-Academy Trusts, again with the full name not given. All other leaderboards are internal to schools.
How teacher accounts are verified
Teacher accounts must be approved by myself (Dr Frost). It will only be approved if using a school email address associated with the school's domain name, and clearly where the email address is in a teacher format. In any cases of doubt I search online for staff lists or contact the registering user to provide additional evidence.
For the school 'Home Tutoring', only student registrations are accepted; teacher accounts will not be approved.
Your right to delete stored data and account deletion
Student accounts can be deleted by teachers at their respective school. Teachers may also delete other teachers. Any user may request to have their account deleted via an email to
. The email request must match the email address of the account being deleted, or of the teacher of a student. If students are in one of more classes set up by a teacher, we will not consent to student requests to delete their account, and this must be done by the teacher.
DFM will automatically purge inactive accounts where the user has not logged in over 2 years. It is the school's responsibility to delete the accounts of students who have left the school (via the
Manage Classes
interface) if they want to delete accounts before this time.
How your data is protected
The site server is located at a secure data centre in Maidenhead, operated by

Throughout the month of May, ABS and the U.S. Coast Guard's Office of Port and Facility Compliance held a series of Cyber Security Awareness Trainings for the U.S. Coast Guard Area Maritime Security Committee (AMSC) members. The AMSCs were established post-9/11 to address maritime and port security issues as well as improve communication between federal, state and local agencies.
More than 200 members participated in the Maritime Transportation System Cyber Awareness trainings, which were based on cyber security assessments conducted by ABS on maritime facilities and ports during ABS' research contract with the Maritime Security Center over a two-year period.
The trainings were tailored to AMSC members. Through the trainings, AMSC members learned basic cyber awareness and the common cyber vulnerabilities for maritime facilities and vessel operations. The trainings also included instruction on maritime information and operational technologies; cyber risk assessments; practical guidance to bolster cyber security; and additional resources to protect against cyber threats.
Cris DeWitt, Senior Technical Advisor for ABS Advanced Solutions, said: "Cyber security is one of the most pressing issues in the industry today, so we are happy to share our expertise in maritime cyber safety and help AMSC members learn how to protect their ports, vessels and operations."
The Coast Guard also has made a recording of the training available on-demand.

– My preview for tonight's show a href=" https://411mania.com/wrestling/csonkas-rohnjpw-global-wars-chicago-preview/" target="new">here.
– ROH Champion Cody is here to kick off the show. He says that people have been thanking him all day, thanking him because the Global Wars tour has been the most financially successfully tour in ROH history. He then mentions a Tweet from Roman Reigns earlier today, and says he thought his vest was covering up a potbelly and failed drug test. Instead it was covering up envy. This isn't an indie; it's a club. He tells Carey Silken to "kiss the ring." Silken refuses, so Cody says the best fan will kiss the ring in the ROH ring. Cody brings in a masked fan with a being the Elite sign. Cody gets his phone out to film it for Being the Elite. The fan unmasks as Dalton Castle and attacks! He beats Cody down and chases him off. The build for Final Battle begins.
Silas Young & Beer City Bruiser vs. Best Friends (Trent & Chuck Taylor): Taylor and Young into begin, they work some back and forth with Taylor hitting a dropkick. Bruiser tags in, as does Trent. Bruiser talks trash, and Trent hits shoulder blocks, as the Bruiser won't go down. Taylor back in and they take him down, working double teams and hug. Young in and they work him over, Trent stomps on him and Taylor hits the slow motion senton. But the Bruiser is back and attacks, tossing Taylor to the floor. Young tosses Trent and we get floor brawling. Back in and the Bruiser takes control, working over Trent. He and Young work quick tags, isolating Trent and picking up near falls.

– Post break, the Addiction sets up a table, but Bully Ray makes the save and chokeslams Kaz through the table.
– Bully says he didn't plan to do that, but you don't just pull out a table like that. He then goes on a history tour, talking about good times and then teases his retirement like he did in Buffalo and Pittsburgh, due to the injury suffered at Death Before Dishonor. He then soaks in some "thank you Bubba" chants. He brings a kid in the ring, says he represents all of the fans and thanks him He gives the kid a hug and gives him a piece of the table, the last table he'll ever break. He puts over ROH and thanks God. You know when you start doing this on every show it loses it affect, and especially when it just doesn't come off as believable.
Bullet Club (Cody, The Young Bucks & Adam Page) vs. Search & Destroy (The Motor City Machineguns & Jay White & Jonathan Gresham): The crowd is chanting "fuck the Revival" & "Cease & Desist."

Gresham tries to fight one on four, tells them all to suck it but eats superkicks. The rite of passage follows and Bullet Club wins. Bullet Club defeated Search & Destroy @ 14:40 via pin [****] This was a wild and crazy match, shades of the matches from the previous nights, but felt more dialed back. Search & Destroy did a great job of embracing the heel role here, the crowd reacted to the moves big time, but they were pro Bullet Club all the way. It was an insane car crash style match, and a well done one at that with a hot crowd. Everyone was working hard and this was a ton of fun.

Jay then says he tried to tell Mark that they need to get back to being the best tag team on the planet, but Mark has been worried about other things and is now injured. Heal up real quick, because it's time for them to take this shit over.
– Shane Taylor now arrives, and heads to the ring. He gets paid to take people out, the bigger the fight and the bigger the check. He's replacing mark Briscoe tonight.
Shane Taylor, Jay Lethal, Kenny King vs. Suzuki-gun (Minoru Suzuki & The Killer Elite Squad [Smith & Archer]): In a shock to no one, Suzuki-gun attacks before the bell and we get a floor brawl.

The Suzuki vs. lethal stuff was also really good. We had all of the Suzuki-gun brawling, but that was fun as they stayed away from the bullshit that hurts their matches. This was good.
– Post match, Suzuki attacks the ref.

IWGP United States Title Match: Champion Kenny Omega vs. YOSHI-HASHI: Apparently Omega forgot the title, because he doesn't have it out with him.

Champion Kenny Omega defeated YOSHI-HASHI @ 25:23 via pin [**] One thing I absolutely hate in wrestling is sitting through a match that is supposed to be important, for nearly 20-minutes, only for it to be filled with ref bumps, run-ins and bullshit. It was very obvious what was going on here, they booked a shitty match in regards to the fact that no one bought HASHI winning and there being zero chance Omega was losing. So they hoped all of the bells, whistles and ballyhoo would make up for that. The match was going good, despite people not buying HASHI at all, but all of the bullshit did nothing for me and took way from my enjoyment. That stuff played well to the live crowd, because they paid to see Bullet Club and were into all of their stuff; I just wanted a good and fun match, not 10 run-ins, ref bumps and all kinds of bull shit, this did nothing for me.
– Bullet Club celebrates. Cody cuts a promo, and asks about 1995 & 1996, when wrestling was cool. He says right now, wrestling has never been cooler. He thanks NJPW, and then praises Omega for carrying NJPW on his back, calling him the leader of Bullet Club. Omega thanks Chicago for their love and the merch sales. He apologizes for not being fulltime with ROH, but really represents Bullet Club and The Elite. He thanks those who support Being the Elite, and runs down HASHI. Omega tells us goodnight so he can go to bed, but is cut off by Matt. Matt says that they need to take a Bullet Club selfie but no one has a phone. Jimmy Jacobs arrives and they take a sefie at ringside. They apologize forgetting Jimmy fired. The crowd chants "fuck the Revival" as the show closes.
"Byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyye Felicia!"

In this
Going Further
My previous page gave a sense of what I was trying to accomplish. Unfortunately making the mold in haste lead to less than satisfactory wheels. So for my next go at it I changed two things:
First I created a new mold by putting a servo horn on a piece of aluminum tooling plate. This horn was attached with double stick foam tape.
Once I had the mold I made the wheel by cutting the bottom off a round plastic container and using that as the mold sides.
The results were better than the first time :-)
The new mold is shown below. This is a pretty big "chunk" of silicone RTV. It measures 4–1/2" x 4–1/8" and is approximately 1/2" thick. This limits me to wheels with a radius of 2".
You can see the impression the sticky tape made (the squarish indentation) that is around the servo horn. On "the final version" I won't use sticky tape and will instead make a better mold form but more on that later.
The next step was to get together my wheel form, the A & B parts of the Alumilite and get ready to mold. This is shown below.
Identifying things from left to right, we have the plastic container I'm going to mix the Alumilite in. The A & B parts already measured into two small cups. The mold "bottom" with the servo horn impression in it. And the wheel form which is another container with the bottom cut off. At their "top" these containers are 3" wide so the resulting wheel will have a diameter of 3".
Now since I've only got two hands, I could not take a picture of myself mixing the A & B parts, then making sure the cup part was aligned and the pouring in the Alumilite and then holding it for 2 minutes while it cured. However once I could take my hand off it I did and took another picture and that is next:
Pretty cool eh? Actually pretty hot! The curing reaction is exothermic and so when it starts curing the plastic gets up to something like 80 degrees C! However, with my 4 Tbsp (approximately) of material (2 each of parts A & B) you can see that I filled the bottom to a depth of about 3/8". This is easily twice as much thickness as I need so that gives me a better handle on how much material will be expended in making wheels that are 1/8 - 3/16" thick.
After four minutes you can touch this stuff without totally burning your fingers so I pulled off the cup and popped out my wheel.
That looks much more like a wheel yes? However you will notice that the cup does not have vertical sides so the wheel's edges have a definite slant to them. Now the simplest way to eliminate that edge is to chuck the wheel into a lathe and turn it down to the point where its edge is perpendicular to its surface. Once there you could also cut a groove in the edge to hold an O-ring for a tire. Finally, the hole in the middle is drilled out to allow the servo mounting screw to pass through the wheel and your done. Presto, new wheel.
One of the cool things about this technique is the detail that is picked up by the molding process. The picture on the right is a close up of the servo horn as it appears on the wheel. If you click the image you get to a bigger picture that allows you to see clearly the precise transfer of the servo spline pattern to the wheel hub.
Going Further
Ok so most of the concepts have been proven out and the next step is a true wheel molding jig. So the next time I create a mold there a couple of things I'm going to change.
The first is that I'm going to mill some concentric rings in the tooling plate that are spaced at known intervals from the center, and exactly aligned with the center. This will let me create a wheel form with a groove in it at that same diameter and not only will this force the wheel form to line up with the exact center of the mold but will also provide an O-ring type seal for the form. That will mean that pouring will always give a really nice wheel.
The second thing will be actual wheel forms. Milled out of 1/4" aluminum sheet, the wheel form should rest easily on the silicone, align with the alignment bump/ring. And have a "lip" milled into the edge so it leaves a wheel with a built in groove for putting a tire into. I suppose if I want to get truly fancy there could be another wheel form that is a bit wider than this one and that would allow you to cast/pour an RTV tire on to the wheel once you had made the wheel.
On second thought the wheel form cannot include the tire "bead" ring otherwise the wheel will be stuck in the wheel form, unless the wheel form is in two pieces and can be pulled apart to release the wheel, that would work….
The third thing will be alignment bumps spaced at an equal number of degrees around the mold. That and some disks with aligning notches, would let me create pre-made voids (think big spokes) that would lighten the overall weight of the wheel. These void units could be either simple cylinders or more complicated shapes to give more interesting wheels. If you use the "aluminum" or "copper" power additive with the Alumilite you can make nice metal rims this way.
One of the goals here would be to make wheels that were 3.8200" in diameter. "Why?" you might ask. The answer is that the circumference of such a wheel is very nearly exactly 12" thus one rotation of the wheel equals one foot of robot travel (assuming no slippage). It also makes it easy to compute how fast your robot will go, just take RPM and and divide by 60 to get feet per second.
