text: Travis Faulkner Bullet Drop & Range Estimation Know your gun's trajectory, and practice time and time again before taking it to the field. Accurate range estimation is crucial to determining where your bullet will impact the target. Laser rangefinders can provide quick, easy and accurate ranges. Photo by Ron Sinfelt. When you miss, it's always good to know why. One of the most common reasons for missing a shot, particularly a longer shot, is not figuring the correct range to the target. In close, an error in range estimation may not make enough difference to matter. But farther away, that same amount of error can often mean a miss. The reason is that even though we all know that a bullet drops below the center of our crosshairs when we shoot beyond the distance for which we have zeroed, many of us don't fully understand how quickly the rate of that drop increases, the farther out we reach. Let me explain.Let's say you're hunting with a 150-grain softnose .308 Winchester load, which is one of the most popular whitetail cartridges in America. It leaves the muzzle at about 2,820 feet per second, according to the manufacturer's ballistic chart, and you have zeroed your gun at 100 yards, which is the most commonly used sight-in distance among all deer hunters. You've studied that chart, and you know that with a 100-yard zero your bullet will hit about 1.2 inches low at 150 yards, 3.75 inches low at 200 yards, and a whopping 14.25 inches low at 300 yards -- should you ever dare to shoot that far. You're prepared to deal with that, because you have a scope with a trajectory-compensating reticle, and you've checked to make sure where the bullets actually hit by firing at known-distance targets on a shooting range.But when you get to the field and encounter an animal that's not standing at exactly 150, 200, or 300 yards, what happens if you don't correctly determine how far away he really is? Well, if you use that .308 to shoot at a deer you think is 100 yards away and he's actually at 150 yards away, it probably won't make enough difference to matter, because the bullet only drops an inch and a quarter crossing that additional 50 yards and you'll still be well within the kill radius if you've aimed for the center of his heart/lung zone.But what if you think he's 200 yards away and he's actually 250 yards away? Different story. Your bullet is going to drop an additional 4.3 inches below the 200-yard impact point traveling across that additional 50 yards. So even if you put your reticle's 200-yard drop marker right on his heart, you're going to hit more than four inches low. You're going to miss his heart, and probably shoot under him entirely, even if you're steady as a rock when you press the trigger. And, if you range a deer to be at 250 yards (which is a shot at a trophy buck most of us would take in a heartbeat with a .308), and he's actually at 300 yards, you won't even touch a hair, even if you've got your aim solidly placed for the 250-yard distance, because traveling that additional 50 yards from 250 to 300, the bullet is going to drop yet another six and a quarter inches. The same applies when we are hunting with handguns, slug guns, muzzleloaders (or even bows), as well. A lot of hunters think that trajectory issues and bullet drop issues are really only important for long-range rifle hunting. Not so. In fact, the problems caused by mistaking the range to your target are often even greater with such "shorter-range" hunting tools than with a high-power centerfire gun. Handguns, slug guns, and muzzleloaders are not as "flat-shooting" as centerfire rifles; their bullets drop quicker and at a faster rate.Consider a modern full-rifled 12-gauge slug gun firing a high-tech 260-grain sabot slug that leaves the muzzle at about 1,900 fps velocity. If zeroed at 50 yards (still a popular sight-in distance among slug hunters), that slug only drops 1.7 inches by the time it gets to 100 yards. Again, not enough to make a telling difference. But if you think your buck is 100 yards away and he's actually 150 yards away, your slug is going to hit more than five inches below your 100-yard aiming point.My own personal favorite new-technology 12-gauge sabot "slug-rifle" will shoot 150-yard groups that are right at two inches with its favorite load, and it will hold a four-inch group at 200 yards. I have no aversion whatsoever to going for a trophy shot at either of those distances with that gun if the opportunity presents itself. But what if I guess the range at 150 and it's closer to 200? There is nearly a full foot of drop for that slug across those 50 yards. It doesn't matter how accurate the gun is, or how well I aim for the distance I think the animal is standing. If I don't have the range correct, I might as well be throwing rocks. And as it gets farther away, the drop becomes increasingly worse, at an increasing rate.How easy is it to make incorrect range estimates in the field? Really easy, even between 100 and 150 yards, even for the most experienced hunter, depending on terrain, vegetation cover and the size of the animal as it appears through his scope. Out at 200-250 yards, or 250-300 yards, it's a rare hunter who can guess distance with enough accuracy to overcome the problem of their bullet's rapidly decaying trajectories, particularly when hunting in unfamiliar country. I can't, and I'm better at it than most. How dare I say that? Because I've practiced, practiced, practiced, everywhere I hunt anything across the country, making guesses on how far rocks and trees (and animals) are away, and then verifying with a laser rangefinder. When hunting with others, we do it as a game, each guessing, then verifying. I win more than I lose, but not so much these days as before, now that more and more hunters are playing this game because they're becoming more aware of just how fast their bullets drop the farther out they get.The laser rangefinder is the critical tool in all this. Get one if you don't have one, no matter what firearm or archery device you hunt with, and use it -- all the time. When hunting on the move, have it attached to your body, clothing, or gear with some type of auto-returning retention device (there are many) so you can instantly throw it up to your eye and get a read, then release it to take your shot. When hunting from a stand or a blind, use the rangefinder to mentally mark known distances to landmarks (bushes, trees, fenceposts, rock outcropping, whatever) all around you, so when something steps out, you'll already have a close-enough estimate in your mind of how far away he is.Bottom line? Know your gun's trajectory. Shoot it at known-distance targets to make sure you know how your scope indexes at different key distances. And use a laser rangefinder in the field — every single time you hunt. GET THE NEWSLETTER Join the List and Never Miss a Thing. Sign Me Up

Housing Now is an initiative to activate 11 City-owned sites for the development of affordable housing within mixed-income, mixed-use, transit-oriented communities.
City Council launched the first phase of Housing Now in 2019. This phase is expected to deliver over 10,000 new residential homes, including approximately 3,700 affordable rental homes.
Housing Now is one component within the City of Toronto's emerging HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan to address the full spectrum of housing issues in Toronto.
For more information, visit CreateTO's Housing Now web page.
The Housing Now Initiative represents a new city-building approach to the disposition of City-owned lands. The Initiative will stimulate the creation of complete communities with a range of new housing where residents can afford quality housing near transit.
Over the last decade, the cost of housing in Toronto and residents' housing choices have become increasingly restricted. The cost of both rental and ownership housing has increased significantly, while incomes have not kept pace.
The first phase of Housing Now is expected to deliver over 10,000 new residential units, including market ownership units, market rental units and approximately 3,700 new affordable rental homes. The affordable units created through Housing Now will, on average, rent for 80% of Toronto's average market rent. These homes will be affordable for households earning between $21,000 and $52,000 per year.
City Council approved a $1-million Non-profit Housing Capacity Fund to support the participation of non-profit organizations in the Housing Now Initiative and to encourage their involvement in the market offering process for the 11 sites, including the opportunity for long-term operation of the affordable rental units.
Additionally in the first phase of the Housing Now Initiative, four sites will be owned and operated by the non-profit and/or co-operative housing sectors.
As part of the first phase of the Housing Now Initiative, City Council has dedicated 11 City-owned sites for the development of affordable housing within mixed-income, mixed-use, transit-oriented communities.

Construction on some of the sites is expected to begin in 2020 with completion targeted for 2022-24.
For more information regarding upcoming public meetings please visit CreateTO's Events web page.
Housing Now aims to create homes affordable for a diverse range of incomes including deeply affordable homes by setting rents between 40% to 80% of the City's average market rents. These homes are affordable to households with an annual income of $21,000 to $52,000.

We do have two types of non-equity-based agreements the selected startups can chose between:
1. A partnership agreement attached to the full 50k€ funding. Merck KGaA Darmstadt, Germany, will invest in your startup in the form of a silent partnership. This agreement would require that you enter into a profit sharing, of less than 10% for no more than 7 years from the start of the program. We will have no say in the management of the company and see ourselves as coaches and sparring partners. At the end of the day, it will always be you who determines the direction. We do not get involved in operational management matters. Even though we do not take equity, we expect a token profit share for a limited time.
2. A project-based agreement which has a limit of 30k€ and is attached to specific milestones. For this agreement we provide a contribution to support your developments during the program especially if the proposed developments are linked to collaboration efforts with the company. The milestone-based funding can be used to kickstart your collaboration project with our internal partners.?

Why might I be interested in the Hackathon?
Why might I be interested in the Hackathon?
Do you like solving challenges? Are you interested in spending a day with other creative students and industry experts, collaboratively "hacking" solutions to interesting real-world problems? Would you like to have a better understanding of some of the problems that drive industries like healthcare, life science or tech at the moment? Do you like free food? Then the Hackathon is for you!
What is the format of a Hackathon?
What is the format of a Hackathon?
That depends on the event! Most of our Hackathons last between 24 and 36 hours and go overnight, typically between Friday and Saturday. Also, most of them are co-organized with world-class partners like Microsoft, European Space Agency, Deutsche Telekom, Accenture, Amazon Web Services…
You might also find a Hackathon that lasts for one, or even up to three weeks. But don't worry, you don't need to commit all this time. For our longer lasting events, there is a kick-off and a final 24 hour-event, where you would need to attend. The kick-off is important to understand the challenges and form teams, while the final event provides you with the classic Hackathon atmosphere to really put your initial ideas into developed concepts. For the time in between, it's up to you and your team how much time and energy you put into the contest, but you'll have the chance to consult our experts as well.
Finally, our events can take place at our HQ in Darmstadt, or around the globe near you. In Darmstadt we might be able to offer more support and services than in other regions of the world.
How does a Hackathon work in general?
How does a Hackathon work in general?
Participants are presented with real-world challenges of current interest to our company from across our different businesses, or from one of our partners for this event. Each challenge will be presented at the beginning by a specific challenge owner.?
Participants then select which challenge they would like to work on. Teams will be formed, and the hacking begins. Mentors from Merck KGaA Darmstadt, Germany and from our partners will be available to provide guidance, give feedback, and answer any questions the participants might have.
At the conclusion of the 24-hour "hacking" period, students will prepare a brief presentation and pitch their solution to the audience. A panel of judges from our company, its partners, and academia will select the winning teams.
Throughout the event you will have numerous opportunities to engage with managers representing various parts of our organization from around the world as well as its partners. In many cases, these exchanges led to longer-term engagements with Merck KGaA Darmstadt, Germany: as a working student, full-time employee or collaboration as a Start-up.
Who can participate in the Hackathon?

Acoustic ELEMENTS
We supply our projects with specially designed acoustic elements (panels,modules), manufactured exclusively for each client
Acoustic modeling
Room acoustic modeling
stands for complex mathematical computations based on acoustic physics laws. Today's powerful computers allow us to model any space with the highest precision and to find the optimal acoustic solution for your purposes and within your budget.
For a viable design, we require:
room dimensions
plan of the building to estimate noise transmission
purpose of the planned room. Each type (e.g. recording studio, film studio, home theater, music listening room, public space etc.) requires different parameters.
We use modern software for precise modeling which takes into account the geometry of the room, the model of your speakers and your preferences for finishing materials.
Acoustic measurements
Performing an acoustic test is always gives a lot more information about the acoustics of the room.
If we're dealing with an existing object, measurements are carried out before we start working on our acoustic modeling.
The last step in our work is always the final measurement and comparison of expected and actual acoustic parameters. We are currently developing software that will simplify the measurement of room acoustics without our presence at the site, which is essential for remote building control.
In our age of minimalism and functionality, we stand for mathematically modeled shapes that profit from the natural textures of wood, stone and fabric.
Therefore, our products will become an aesthetic highlight in any modern (e.g. "Loft", high-tech) and classical interior.
3D Visualisation
For our customers, we use modern rendering software to visualize every future project beginning from the outline stage of acoustic design. The rendered 3-D image gives you the first impression of how your room will look like.
While working on the project we are focusing not only on the acoustics but also on the aesthetics. These two aspects always affect each other. Therefore, we are deliberately working on acoustic and aesthetic aspects of modeling at the same time.

Drawing. Documenting. Supervising
After the approval of the sketches and of the room concept, we prepare working guidelines CAD for your contractors. It is very important that they are professional builders who have experience in working with vibro-isolation, suspending systems, and insulation materials.
We are happy to help you finding or assessing such an expert and to consult you in the work process.
If necessary, we can supervise all these steps online, e.g. for our international customers.
Custom products
design and manufacture
Project creation always includes special acoustic devices such as acoustic panels and particularly finely tuned diffusers and bass traps. Many of our customers are located in areas with a wide range of acoustic products. However, they leave their choice to our custom products.
Quality, diversity, and prices of our products remain competitive among the world's most famous brands.
Our products offer the best acoustic performance, appearance, and ability to integrate into any interior.

Rescue dog saves Cheshire toddler's life
A rescue dog is being hailed as a real life 'Lassie' after saving the life of a toddler in Cheshire.
Black springador Rufus leaped into action when 21-month-old Betsy Gunnion started to choke on her own vomit at her home on the Moss, Macclesfield.
The dog - a cross between a labrador and a springer spaniel - began barking and tugging on the arm of Betsy's mum Emily, who was sleeping in another room.
Emily, a cafe manager who is fostering the dog, said she woke up realising something was wrong and ran to the tot's bed in time to clear her throat.She has since hailed Rufus a 'lifesaver'.
Emily, who had been up all night caring for Betsy who was suffering with a stomach bug, said:
Emily had only been fostering Rufus for a matter of days before the incident and he was downstairs with Emily's other dogs Henry, 10, and Lola, eight, when Betsy began to choke.
Emily has volunteered for Labradors in Need, which finds homes for rescued Labradors, for some time, but Rufus is the first dog she has fostered. For more information go to www.labradorsinneed.co.uk.

The idea of buying your first home can be intoxicating and intimidating at the same time. You are embarking on a journey down an unfamiliar road, so the first consideration is what you can afford to spend on a house.
Consider this from a couple of different angles:
The rule of thumb for monthly payments is that they shouldn't exceed 25 to 30 percent of your monthly gross income. Monthly payments include your mortgage principal and interest, real estate taxes, mortgage insurance, and homeowners' insurance, so be sure to include these if you are running your own numbers. As for down payments, they range from nothing to 20 percent or more, with most buyers falling in between these two extremes.
Here are some other useful percentages: your total housing costs shouldn't consume more than 32 percent of your gross monthly income. When you've been renting, it has been easy to underestimate the ongoing costs involved in homeownership, which range from simple and fairly inexpensive matters such as calling the plumber to unclog your sink to the budget-busting cost of putting on a new roof. And, your total debt load—including car loans, student loans, credit card debt, etc.—shouldn't exceed 40 percent of your gross monthly income.
So, if you and your spouse have a combined gross income of $50,000 a year, the numbers work out like this:
These are important numbers, because they are the ones that lenders will come up with when you start asking about getting pre-approved for a mortgage. A mortgage pre-approval means that a lender has checked you out and made a commitment to offer you a mortgage for a certain amount based on your financial situation.

Starting an estate plan is a wise move for all California adults. They may already know that these plans have their uses, but they may not fully understand just how beneficial they can be. From their wills to their health care-related documents, individuals can reap many benefits for themselves and their families.
Digital assets are as important as physical assets in wills
Like most people, numerous California residents like living part of their lives online. They may take trips or spend time with family and want to post photos or anecdotes from the occasions on social media. They may also want to handle part of their professional and financial lives online by having access to bank accounts and other online portals. What they may not realize is that they are creating digital assets that likely need addressing in their wills.
If you haven't created a living will, now is the time to do so
Most people put off creating a last will or comprehensive estate plan for as long as they think they can. However, that delay leaves their family vulnerable to the whims of probate court in the future if something happens to them. It also makes them decide what medical actions you would want taken on your behalf in certain situations.

Kick your party up a notch with some fantastic karaoke
If you and your friends enjoy a night of karaoke, why not consider making it a part of your next party or get-together? Whatever kind of celebration you have coming up, karaoke is a fantastic way of bringing your party guests together. It's fair to say that most people enjoy a good sing song, and even the most reluctant singers usually have a favourite tune or two that they like to belt out every now and then.
Karaoke offers everyone the chance to take the mic and have some fun, and you don't have to be a great vocalist to have a great time. Karaoke is fun for every party guest no matter how little or far they can carry a tune, from the experienced pros to the funny entertainers. When you spend a long time planning a party you want to be sure that you can get it going and keep the atmosphere alive all night. Once the first singer gets up, it won't be too long before everyone else wants a taste of the limelight.
When you book our karaoke service you can be sure of a fantastic sound from a high quality system. You don't have to worry about remembering all the words, as the lyrics are displayed on screen, and we have a large selection of songs from every era. Whether you want to belt out a showstopper, take their breath away with a ballad, or hit them with a karaoke disco classic, our book of songs offers you plenty of choice.
Along with our superb karaoke equipment we offer a party, event and wedding DJ in Fife, Edinburgh and all surrounding areas that everyone will love. Skilled, passionate and experienced DJ Ash regularly wows crowds throughout Scotland with his professional performances and outstanding light shows.
Everyone wants their party to be a runaway success and with our services you can rely on giving your guests an effortlessly fantastic night of music, singing, dancing and entertainment. Call us with your party details and we will be happy to help you plan the perfect night. From premier sound systems and quality microphones to creative lighting sequences, you can be sure of an incredible evening of entertainment.
You and your DJ can plan the perfect playlist
When it comes to your special celebration, a good DJ is worth their weight in gold. The major advantage of finding a good DJ is that they know their role is to play the music you want to hear. A good DJ loves to entertain, but it should always be on the terms of the customer. A professional DJ will typically prefer you to be upfront and direct about what you want as it avoids any disappointment about playlists on the night. Good communication when you make your booking will ensure a successful event for everyone.
If you have a specific playlist in mind, it is best to get it to your chosen DJ as early as possible. That way you can be sure that your celebration will have the soundtrack of your choice. Alternatively, if you wish your DJ to devise the track list, you can give them a general idea of your favourite genres and musical eras. If you are not a fan of traditional party numbers and dance routines, then tell your DJ to be sure you don't hear anything you dislike. If however, you love the Macarena and a bit of Dirty Dancing, let your DJ know beforehand and you can be sure of hearing all the classic party tunes. The best DJs have unlimited access to music and will be able to accommodate your wishes whatever they are.
Part of ensuring your party is a huge success involves taking requests from you and your guests on the night. A great DJ knows how to satisfy the crowd and keep the atmosphere alive. If one song by a particular artist or band fills the dancefloor, a good DJ will play more rather than stick to what they think is the best music.
If you are looking for a trusted and popular DJ in Fife who can make sure you, your family and friends have a fun filled and unforgettable night, you can trust in the services of DJ Ash. From early arrival and set up to providing a personal playlist we offer high quality entertainment from a skilled, experienced and prominent party DJ. You can also enjoy a range of great extras including spectacular light shows and the finest sound from state of the art equipment. We are dedicated to offer the ultimate entertainment service for weddings, anniversaries, birthday parties and every other celebration.
Booking crucial event suppliers early
When you organise an event, be it a wedding, a birthday party or a corporate function, it is important that you are able to get everything set up in advance. This means you need to book all of the suppliers as early as possible so you can arrange for them to arrive at the venue at the right times.
The venue is the very first thing you need to book. Once this is arranged, you can set about arranging all of the providers. Remember you'll be competing with other people for dates so the earlier you enquire about venues and make a booking the better. Make sure you have a clear idea of how many people you are inviting to the event when looking for a venue, as you don't want to end up with one which is too small or too large.
When you start contacting providers you'll need to begin with the essentials such as caterers, cake makers and DJs. If you want the best food, a beautiful looking cake and the right music to accompany your event, you need to be quick browsing providers and deciding who you want to choose. After the crucial suppliers are booked, you can begin adding different elements such as decorations and additional entertainment.
Choosing the right DJ is important because they will be responsible for entertaining your guests for very large parts of the event. You should ensure you choose someone skilled and experienced with the right equipment and access to all of the songs you want. By searching for DJs early you give yourself more chance to speak with them, get a feel for their personality and decide if they are a good fit for your event.
When the day of the event arrives the DJ you hire will need access to the venue early to set up their equipment. You should arrange this as it will mean that music can be playing for the very start rather than having delays.
If you're looking for a mobile DJ in Fife and want to book a local provider with impressive experience and a huge passion for music, we are the company for you. We can bring fantastic entertainment to all kinds of celebrations and will do our very best to make sure yours goes down perfectly. We'll get set up in plenty of time to ensure that your event goes smoothly right from the start.

Patient Testimonials
My appointment at Peninsula Radiology was the best medical experience I had in years. When I came in for my test, Dr. DeMeo and his assistant, Jamie, where both very professional, and took their time to carefully explain everything to me. They made what can normally be a very unpleasant experience, very nice. They went well beyond what they needed to, in order to make me feel very relaxed and comfortable. In addition, everything was done on time, and efficient, I was never kept waiting. When I come across such good service, I feel like I ought to share it. I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Demeo, Jamie and the rest of the team at Peninsula Radiology, they do an outstanding job. – Dennis Ankeney

How many rivers are there in Canada?
There are 1.5-2 million lakes in Canada, roughly how many rivers are there in Canada?
4 Answers
- WA KKGLv 41 decade agoFavorite Answer
Canada contains more lakes and inland waters than any other country in the world. In addition to the Great Lakes on the American border (all partly within Canada except Lake Michigan), the country has 31 lakes or reservoirs of about 1,300 sq km (about 500 sq mi) in area. Canada's two largest lakes are Superior and Huron, at 82,100 sq km (31,700 sq mi) and 59,600 sq km (23,000 sq mi), respectively. About one-third of Lake Superior and about three-fifths of Lake Huron are in Canada.
The largest lakes wholly within Canada are Great Bear, at 31,790 sq km (12,270 sq mi), and Great Slave, at 28,570 sq km (11,030 sq mi), both in the Northwest Territories. Each of these immense lakes is larger than either Lake Erie or Lake Ontario. Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba, at 24,390 sq km (9,417 sq mi), also compares in size with Lake Erie and is much larger than Lake Ontario. Other very large bodies of freshwater are Lake Athabasca and Reindeer Lake in Saskatchewan and the Smallwood Reservoir in Newfoundland and Labrador. Also significant in size are Nettilling Lake on Baffin Island, Lake Winnipegosis and Lake Manitoba in Manitoba, Lake Nipigon and Lake of the Woods in Ontario, and Lake Melville in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Canada's two greatest rivers are the St. Lawrence, which drains the Great Lakes and empties into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and the Mackenzie, which empties into the Arctic Ocean and drains a large part of northwestern Canada. While the St. Lawrence is the largest river in Canada in volume of water discharged at its mouth, the Mackenzie is the longest. Through its tributary, the Peace River, and tracing to its source in the Finlay River of British Columbia, the Mackenzie is 4,241 km (2,635 mi) long and is one of the longest rivers in the world. The St. Lawrence and the Mackenzie are the second and third largest rivers by volume of discharge, respectively, in North America.
Other large Canadian rivers in terms of both length and discharge are the Yukon, flowing from Yukon Territory across Alaska into the Bering Sea; the Nelson-Saskatchewan system, flowing across the Great Plains into Hudson Bay; the Churchill, also flowing into Hudson Bay; and the Fraser and the Columbia in British Columbia. Other significant regional rivers are the Saint John, emptying into the Bay of Fundy between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick; the Churchill, in Newfoundland and Labrador; and the many rivers flowing into the St. Lawrence from the shield, including the Ottawa, the Saguenay, and the Saint-Maurice. All these rivers are navigable for at least some of their length, but only the St. Lawrence and Mackenzie are used for commercial navigation.
In general, all rivers and lakes in Canada have value as sources of water for agricultural, industrial, urban, and recreational uses; but some have more specific commercial uses. The St. Lawrence Seaway and the Great Lakes together form an important transportation network for eastern Canada, allowing oceangoing vessels to travel deep into the heartland. The Great Lakes are used to transport bulk materials, such as grain and iron ore, and have been important for the industrial development of the St. Lawrence-Great Lakes region.
Many of the rivers emptying into the St. Lawrence are also important producers of hydroelectric power. In contrast, the rivers of the Arctic drainage basin have little commercial importance. Although the Mackenzie is navigable for most of its length and has been used for transportation, its isolation limits its usefulness. The rivers draining into Hudson Bay are important primarily as power sources, particularly the Nelson in northern Manitoba and the La Grande in northern Québec. The fast-flowing rivers draining into the Pacific, such as the Fraser, are particularly suitable for power generation. They are also crucial for the salmon fishing industry, but these two uses are not compatible. For this reason, hydroelectric development has been prohibited on the Fraser.

Financial Tips and Ideas from WireLend:
Get Tires From Costco Or Other Wholesale Clubs
Every car owner will inevitably have to replace their tires at some point. Shop for new wheels at wholesale clubs like Sam's or Costco. Simply put, tires cost a lot less than buying them at the dealer or even a chain tire store.
Cancel Subscriptions You Donâ??t Need?
Earlier, we mentioned how subscriptions to our favorite services can us money. Streaming services are indeed much cheaper than cable television subscriptions but subscribing to multiple services can take a toll on your money. To save money, pick one subscription and stick with it. Itâ??s irritating to miss the shows you hold so dear, but youâ??ll miss the money even more. The same goes for magazines. Donâ??t commit to magazine subscriptions that you will only read once and toss into recycling. You can get the same information from the internet. Save that money for gas or food you grab while on your way to lunch. Save. Save. Save!

While technological advances may have made tablets cheaper and easier to use, for LC Technologies, there was a big problem.
The highly reflective screens on modern tablets, cellphones and other devices meant that the company's Eye Gaze program, technology that assists disabled users by tracking their eye movements, was ineffective.
"The slightest reflection makes it really, really difficult," said Nancy Cleveland, medical director for the Virginia company. "We started to search for options to put on the screen that would take care of that."
The company's search led it to NuShield, a Newtown Township company that, for nearly two decades, has been developing screen protectors for everyone from the U.S. military to health care facilities across the country.
Every Eye Gaze device now comes with NuShield's Triple-A film, an anti-glare, anti-microbial and anti-fingerprint screen protector that cuts down on reflections and, as an added bonus, fights germs that could put medically fragile clients at risk, Cleveland said.
"The customers don't know the difference," Cleveland said. "It's just sitting there behind the scenes. In general, people are totally unaware of (the screen protector's) existence, but it's a key part of the system."
NuShield founder Mark Ross didn't set out to create a business designing and selling screen protectors.
Long before smartphones and tablets were part of everyday life, Ross recognized the importance of protecting devices that costs hundreds, or even thousands, of dollars when he purchased an Apple Newton for his son, who had been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and needed a program to help keep track of his food and insulin needs.
The Newton -- a brick-sized personal digital assistant discontinued in 1998 -- was the only device Ross could find that had such a program. When he sought out a screen protector for his $600 investment, he was dismayed to find they were flimsy and didn't hold up to frequent use.
Ross realized the screen protector business was, at its core, a coated film business -- something he knew well as a polymer and organic chemist.
"It's perfect for me," he said. "When I first started, I said, 'This is absolutely up my alley.'"
NuShield's original product, a heavy-duty, anti-glare film, was developed primarily to protect fragile screens. As screens have gotten more durable, the company has branched into other areas with its Triple A film and well as its DayVue product,�an anti-reflective film that improves visibility even in bright light.
Screen protectors are a highly competitive industry, Ross said. To stand out, NuShield concentrates on a higher end market that goes beyond cellphones to include screens as large as 70 inches.
"This business is a mile wide and an inch deep," Ross said. "It's a niche everywhere it is, but anyplace that has an electronic display screen, that's where our films will be useful."
NuShield's films cover everything from the 70-inch display screens hanging in North Carolina's legislative building�to aircraft�GPS screens.�
Larger orders are fulfilled at a facility in Millville, New Jersey, but most screens are made, either by hand or laser-cutting machine, at NuShield's Newtown Township headquarters.�
The company continues to grow, and is closing in on $1 million in sales, said Ross, who continually searches for new markets and products.
"We let the marketplace tell us what it wanted to do," he said. "It's continued to evolve."

(PRWEB) October 09, 2014
SEO Consultancy Ltd, a search engine optimization firm that was established in London, United Kingdom, is pleased to announce that they are now in a position to offer their online marketing services to companies and individuals operating in Los Angles, California.
After successful expansions into major international cities, such as New York and Dubai, this established SEO company is now actively seeking clients based in LA. While the team of consultants at this firm have been willing to work with clients from any geographical area in the past, it is only now that they are making a concerted effort to reach out and make themselves available to those located in LA.
"In the past we might have been approached by clients based in LA, who had perhaps sought us out, either through word of mouth recommendation, or finding our website, and while we've been happy to work with them, we've not actively sought out new clients in that area before" one of the partners at the firm explained. "However, as we now have a few successful launches in new regions under our belt, we've decided that LA is the next place we want to focus on, due to the many great opportunities on offer there" he continued.
Although SEO Consultancy Ltd is yet to open an office in the city to join their growing list of physical presences in places like London, New York, and Melbourne, the team have been busy forging connections on the ground and networking online to increase their visibility to LA-based organizations. "Before we even start planning the opening of a new office a new city, we always spend a lot of time on the ground meeting with potential clients, hosting events, and checking out he competition" one of the senior managers at the firm shared. "This way we can see if our particular brand of SEO consultancy services are a good match for the individuals and organizations operating there, and where there is enough potential business to sustain a new office, staffed with a team of SEO experts" the continued.
This tactic of establishing a virtual presence in a new location, to help determine if it can support a physical presence for the firm is what they are taking part in now, in the capital city of California. "By seeing how our services compare to other companies offering SEO services Los Angeles style, we can determine if we would be able to make a decent impact in the local market and succeed at helping some more websites gain the traction and rankings they deserve" a long serving team member explained.
With a growing number of offices in cities around the world, the rate of expansion of SEO Consultancy LTD shows no sign of slowing down. With recognisance and fact finding missions currently taking place in Los Angles, it seems that the City of Angels could well be the next destination to be served by this SEO firm that first opened its doors in London all those years ago.

The wonders of laser therapy
Research on the beneficial effects of laser light on cells was first recognised about 40 years ago. Since then, studies have shown the positive effects of laser treatment for different commonly treated conditions including arthritis, skin disease, ear pain, wound healing, reducing inflammation and pain relief.
The laser technology works like this: the laser light emitted triggers a photochemical reaction in the body that increases blood flow and the production of the 'cell fuel', ATP (or adenosine-triphosphate). More ATP within the tissue promotes growth and the replication and repair of cells thus speeding and aiding healing. Most importantly, there are no known side-effects of laser therapy. It is also beneficial for pets who cannot have pain relief medication due to conditions such as kidney or liver disease.
Technology in delivery has moved on too. The new Class IV High Power lasers are 50 times stronger than their predecessors, the Class III or 'cold' laser, giving enhanced results due to their increased ability to penetrate tissues more deeply and accurately.
And more good news? Pets do not need to be sedated for laser treatment, fur does not need to be clipped, and we have found the majority of our patients are relaxed and calm as they can stand, sit or lie down for treatment. The laser hand piece is held over the area to be treated and a light emits from the wand, penetrating the skin with a slightly warm sensation. Sessions last around five to 15 minutes and are tailored to suit each pet individually; for example laser therapy to treat a post-operative skin wound may only need one or two sessions, whereas treatment for an arthritic pet may require a longer or more complex course as multiple joints will be treated during one session.
In many cases, the reported benefits of laser treatment are so good that some pets require less pain medication or may be able to stop it altogether, and some owners report immediate improvement in their pet's symptoms.
We are so pleased that we can now offer more alternative therapies for our patients, and move towards a more holistic approach to veterinary medicine.

Between rolling out the new GreenON Social Housing program and offering an early renewal opportunity for our Natural Gas Program clients, it has been a busy winter for the HSC Energy team! In this issue of Energy Matters, we bring you the latest on both these programs, tips for housing providers on how to tackle applications for energy retrofit funding, and more. Happy spring reading everyone!
In this issue of Energy Matters:

In early February, the province announced $25 million in new funding under the GreenON Social Housing program, to help Ontario social housing buildings with less than 100 units invest in energy efficient retrofits. The program is being administered by HSC and complements previously announced funding — such as SHARP, SHEEP and SHAIP — that aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The deadline for Service Managers to submit a business case was on March 28, 2018. Over the next few weeks, an independent evaluation committee comprised of industry experts will review the business cases and determine funding allocations. Service Managers can expect to hear from HSC in mid-April on the status of their application. Successful Service Manager applicants can then hold their own competitive selection processes for their local housing providers.
If you are a housing provider interested in the program, we encourage you to contact your Service Manager. You can also check out these top tips to help you hit the ground running on future retrofit funding opportunities.
Ontario has been making multi-year investments in retrofits and repairs that will lead to long term energy savings and greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions. Recent announcements include the GreenON Social Housing program and last August's SHAIP announcement. These programs are great news for social housing providers, but navigating the various programs and complying with tight timelines can be challenging!
To help providers prepare for future funding opportunities, we've gathered some helpful tips on relevant information and supporting documentation to help inform future applications.
Early this year, natural gas pricing decreased significantly and, by February, reached a historic 10-year low. This rate drop is due to various factors, including increased gas production in Canada, production growing faster than demand, transportation constraints and high storage inventories.
While HSC's regular renewal period tends to fall in the summer months, we recognized an opportunity to help our Natural Gas Program customers take advantage of the low rates. We offered an early renewal option and nearly half of participating providers decided to secure rates for flexible single and multi-year terms between 2019 and 2023.
HSC is now in the process of procuring gas for these providers and will communicate final secured rates later this spring.
If you're a provider whose term expires at the end of 2018 and you chose not to lock-in prices at this time, you can expect to hear from us later this year when we conduct our regular renewal process.
Questions? Please contact email@example.com.
Using data on over 800 social housing buildings in our Utility Management Program (UMP), HSC compared the "energy usage intensity", or annual energy use per square foot of floor area, for Ontario social housing buildings of various ages. We found that buildings built before 1947 have lower average energy use intensity than more recent buildings, while the buildings built after the year 2000 have the highest.
These findings may surprise some within our sector, since we tend to think of housing built after 2000 as relatively new, given most of our stock was built in the 1960s and 1970s. However, most "new" buildings are now nearly 20 years old and their major equipment is approaching end of life.
Other factors that contribute to these findings include the fact that newer buildings tend to have smaller suites and, as a result, can have more units overall. This often results in additional electronic equipment, such as televisions and kitchen appliances that greatly contribute to a building's electricity load. New buildings also have more and larger windows, which can result in greater heat loss and air movement since glass does not insulate as well as wall materials. Increased ventilation requirements for newer buildings also results in more outdoor air being heated as it is brought inside. Lastly, they are more likely to have central air conditioning, which contributes to the larger total energy load.
By contrast, buildings over 80 years old tend to have fewer and smaller windows, large suite sizes and lower ventilation requirements, having been built when building codes were less strict. Many are low-rise buildings without elevators, central air, or even make-up air units— all of which contributes to their lower average energy use intensity.
Despite these trends, there are many ways providers can lower energy use in their buildings, regardless of their size and age. Improving efficiency can include taking a whole building approach, leveraging government funding and utility incentives, and undertaking energy management and capital plans. These plans target initiatives that improve air tightness through an improved building envelope — for example installing new windows to replace drafty ones — which can help to reduce the size of heating systems for lower overall energy demand. Engaging residents and staff on benefits of energy conservation can also go a long way to impact a building's overall usage.
It's encouraging to see an increased focus on energy efficiency in many new developments in our sector, with Passive House and Net Zero being key approaches. Whether in new or existing buildings, housing providers can benefit greatly from a strategic approach that optimizes energy saving opportunities across the whole building.
Stay tuned to Energy Matters for more social housing energy trends!
Large buildings account for 19% of Ontario's total greenhouse gas emissions, and buildings can reduce this impact by improving their overall energy efficiency. A key step in improving energy efficiency is to measure how much energy a building is using over time, as compared to similar buildings. With this in mind, the province is now requiring large buildings, including multi-unit residential buildings, to report their energy and water year once a year under Ontario Regulation 20/17.
Social housing providers with buildings 50,000 square feet or larger, excluding municipal housing, are required to submit their energy and water use each year to the Ministry of Energy. The ministry is phasing in deadlines according to your property's size:
• 100,000 square feet or more: your 2018 water and energy use report is due on July 1, 2019
• 50,000 square feet or more: your 2019 water and energy use report is due on July 1, 2020
HSC can help you to comply with this new requirement through our Utility Management Program (UMP). The program compiles data and produces comprehensive reports on your quarterly water and energy usage. HSC is currently transitioning our UMP program to an online platform that will provide an enhanced, flexible experience for users and make data more accessible for compliance purposes. Stay tuned to Energy Matters in the coming months for more details!
HSC's next Regeneration Forum will take place March 25-26, 2019 at the Marriott Eaton Centre Hotel in downtown Toronto.
Given today's fast changing political, regulatory and operating landscape, there has never been a more important time for the sector to engage in candid conversations about the future of community housing across the country.
We're keen to integrate content on energy efficiency and conservation as we bring the sector together to think strategically about asset management and the future of affordable housing. If you have a case study on regeneration to share or if there is any specific content you'd like to see, we would love to hear from you!

Here are some photos of the repaired Waterbury Niles clock case. For the repair details, see the previous post here: http://jcclocks.blogspot.ca/2017/01/gingerbread-clock-case-repairs.html
As you can see, the two repaired horns are not EXACTLY the same colour, but they have no stain on them. They do match depending on the viewing angle, so I'm happy with how they came out. Note the new glass transfer (on antique glass), and the new paper dial (lightly distressed). The previous dial was the wrong size, with the time track skirting the edge of the pan.
New grommets were also installed. They are a bit too shiny, but they will eventually dull down. The hand washer is not installed yet, as the movement still needs to be serviced.

Event logs are great tools for Developers and Administrators alike. They provide an insight into the running state and history of an application.
For DNN, there are two repositories for collecting logging information that both serve different purposes.
Logging via Admin -> Event Viewer
The DNN event viewer (admin -> event viewer) is a portal aware logging repository that has a UI for portal and host administrators.
Portal administrators will only see their portal's events while hosts will see everything.
Writing to the DNN event log is straight forward (although there are a lot of overloads):
For EventLogType, the common ones developers use are Host_Alert and Admin_Alert. There are many more if you look up the enumerated type.
Alternatively, you can log to Log4Net which is bundled with the DNN install. The main differences are:
- Log4Net does not require an instance of PortalSettings
- Log4Net does not not have a UI for viewing entries (it stores daily files in ~/portals/_default/logs/*)
- Log4Net files will exist until physically deleted through the file system
- Log4Net is typically a faster logging process
- Log4Net is unaware of Portal and Host differences
Logging is relatively straight forward (make sure you swap MyClassName for your class name).
If you're interested in Log4Net configuration, you can find it in {site-root-folder}/DotNetNuke.log4net.config and review their documentation.
Remember: you can find all these files in ~/portals/_default/logs/
