I know that local residents will have been effected by the requirement to boil tap water before consumption. As you may know a microscopic organism called Cryptosporidium has been found at United Utilities Franklaw Water Treatment Centre in Catterall. I have been to visit the Treatment Centre today to see the measures which are being taken to ensure that this issue is resolved as soon as possible and our water is safe to drink again. As I write United Utilities have eradicated the bug from the Treatment Centre and are now testing to ensure that the whole network of pipes is flushed and the water received in our homes is safe to drink again. During my visit I learned about the measures United Utilities have been taking and what will be done to prevent future incidents. I was pleased to meet some of the workers at the Treatment Centre, many of whom have been working 24 hour shifts. United Utilities has agreed to pay compensation to those affected and is currently working on the finer detail of how the compensation would be delivered.
Punch Taverns Ltd have decided to appeal against Wyre Council's decision to refuse them planning permission for a convenience store, to be located on the car park of The Shovels Inn in Hambleton. Given my concerns about the implications of the proposed development on highways safety, I have written to the Planning Inspectorate to make my objections known. I would encourage local residents to do the same.
I am disappointed that the Royal Bank of Scotland has decided to proceed with the closure of the Natwest branch in Knott-End in September. It is a cruel irony that the bank had used the branch for their advertising campaign back in 2011 when they promised not to close the last bank in town. The Natwest branch is, of course, Knott-End's only bank. While not in my constituency, I know residents from Stalmine use the branch as the next closest bank is in Poulton. I wrote several weeks ago to the Chief Executive of Natwest to put forward the case for the bank remaining open, but the bank seems set on proceeding with the closure.
I have been informed that while the closure will go ahead, a mobile bank will visit Knott-End and it has been agreed that the Post Office will offer banking services. While not ideal, I do hope these measures will mean that local residents and traders can continue to carry out their banking in Knott-End.
You may recall that I have previously written about the great work of the charity "Cardiac Risk in the Young" (CRY). The charity perform free ECG heart screenings across the country for anyone aged between 14 and 35 years of age. The next screening session in our area will be held at Preston North End on 21st October. The appointments will available to book on line at www.testmyheart.org from 24th August.
Please be assured that I am continuing in my fight against the decision to grant Canatxx/Halite planning permission for their gas storage facility. As I mentioned in my last column, I have raised the case with the European Commission. Once I receive a response, I will be sure to provide readers with an update.
I look forward to seeing you out and about over the summer. If you would like to book an appointment please call my Office at the House of Commons on 0207 219 5804. I can also be contacted at my Constituency Office on 01995 672976, alternatively you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or write to me at the House of Commons, London, SW1A 0AA.

Ensuring the Safety of Your Loved One
All of our caregivers must go through a rigorous screening process including a criminal background investigation and a psychological test.

We learned that from day one and quickly responded by starting the Home Care University, a first of its kind in the senior care industry. We are delighted to share that our extensive training has made a life changing impact on both our caregivers and the senior clients they serve.

Artist Statement
As a landscape architect, I have a great appreciation for natural environments, designed spaces and special places that people enjoy being in. As a native Californian, I am especially drawn to the diverse natural and manmade environments of this state. I spent some concentrated time learning the techniques of plein air painting in 1999 and 2000 while I was living in Rhode Island, but it wasn't until I returned to California in 2001 that my desire and motivation to paint landscapes became supremely energized. The foothills, coastal landscapes and unique neighborhoods of California feed my soul. Through painting I celebrate the uniqueness of my home state and the joy of returning home.

New Honda 2019 Honda Civic Coupe for Sale in Lincoln, RI
If there's one thing the 2019 Honda Civic Coupe can count on, it's excellent sales. After all, this affordable and great-looking two-door has been popular year after year with good reason. This model year it's back with an upgraded fascia, improvements to the interior controls, and some additions to the base equipment – most notably, the Honda Sensing active safety technology package is now included on every trim. Besides its leading fuel economy, excellent resale value, and healthy list of standard equipment, it's fun to drive and comes with above-average standard features, as outlined below.
View Inventory
Safety and Technology Features
The four trim levels for the '19 Honda Civic Coupe are the LX, Sport, EX, and Touring. While stickshifts are going the way of the pterodactyl with most automakers, the Sport trim can still be ordered with a manual transmission. There is another two-door Civic model, the high-performance Civic Coupe Si, which is made only with a manual transmission. Since the Si's specs are distinct from those of the regular Civic Coupe discussed here, it's treated as a separate model.
The two lowest Civic Coupe trims, the LX and Sport, are powered by a 158 horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission standard on the LX and available on the Sport (which lives up to its name by coming standard with a six-speed manual transmission). The two higher trim levels get a 174 hp 1.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with the CVT, which is noted to perform better than other CVTs thanks to Honda's gear-and-pulley system's ability to optimize each shift change.
Standard equipment on the base LX includes the aforementioned Honda Sensing active safety suite (more on that below), a backup camera, automatic climate control, a capless fuel filler, a center storage console with sliding armrest, Bluetooth HandsFree phone capability and streaming audio, and a USB port. The Sport trim adds push-button start, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, HondaLink technology, and some track-inspired elements: paddle shifters, sport pedals, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shifter knob, and a rear spoiler.
Those who choose the EX trim will get a one-touch power moonroof, Honda LaneWatch and, remote start, heated side mirrors, dual-zone automatic climate control, an upgraded audio system with ten speakers, and SiriusXM satellite radio. At the top of the heap, the loaded Touring trim delivers Honda's voice-activated satellite-linked navigation system, 18-inch alloy wheels, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and LED auto-on/off headlights.
Comfort and Utility
Now standard on every '19 Civic Coupe, the Honda Sensing suite of state-of-the-art active safety technologies helps to make collisions less likely through driver warnings and other mitigating factors. It consists of lane keep assist, smart cruise control, road departure mitigation, forward collision warning, and auto emergency braking. Stability control and a rearview camera are also standard. Thanks to this package and the accompanying passive safety features (air bags, etc.), this latest Civic Coupe is expected to earn the same top safety ratings that the 2018 version did.

Hello I am trying to use the automated tool squish to test xtuple on the mac. When I use the squish to login I get the error "invalid connection option "application_name" QPSQL: Unable to connect" . I only see this error , when using squish not when a manually login in. Any ideas how to fix this?
application_name was added with PostgreSQL 9.0, if the version of squish you are using is using a libpq/postgresql driver older than that you will have the issue you see. You will likely need to update squish, or find out if there is a way to update the PostgreSQL driver in squish on its own.
Squish is a GUI automation tool. It just uses the xtuple client, doesn't have its own PostgreSQL. xtupleuniversity states the xtuple team automated test scripts are written using Squish. I am wondering if their QA team encounter the same issue.
Hi, Gary:
We got your support request yesterday. We'll be following up with you on that ticket (#33490) shortly, with some questions and more information.
Best regards,Pierce

We are a member of NGBC
Kebony is now member of the Norwegian Green Building Council and thanks to its sustainable credentials, Kebony classifies for BREEAM projects!
The Norwegian Green Building Council (NGBC) is an independent association for industry leaders in Norwegian construction and real estate. NGBC intends to be a motivator and driving force for the changes that construction and real estate will be making to reduce adverse effects to the environment and human health by disseminating knowledge and tools, and preparing its members and others with respect to future requirements and possibilities.
NGBC's purpose is to increase the environmental standard of Norwegian construction by developing BREEAM-NOR in a manner that causes environmentally friendly buildings to be demanded and highly sought after. NGBC is, with its more than 220 members, nation-wide and representative for the entire value chain in construction and real estate, including tenants and local societies/towns.
BREEAM-NOR ver. 1.0 was developed with input from more than 100 volunteering employees from NGBC's member companies. Five technical working groups have received strategic guidance and advice from the Strategic Advising Group (SAG), which is composed of representatives from the authorities, the research community and the member companies. The working groups have purchased expert consulting as needed. SAG has given the Board of NGBC its recommendation for BREEAM-NOR. BRE Global Ltd´s approval of BREEAM-NOR is based upon its adoption by the Board of NGBC.

City driving is a chore. It's something we all do every day mostly because we have to, though we doubt it's something people look forward to on a regular basis. Ford wants to change all that with the EcoSport. The versatile little vehicle is perfect for cramped city streets and the traffic that we have to put up with daily. To prove a point, Ford Philippines took members of the local motoring media on an adventure race around the Metro, through the usual city traffic, to show that all you need to tame your commute is the right car.
The day started at the Ford dealership in Chino Roces. We had a call time about as early as a regular day at work, and even at that hour, we could see that the traffic was building up. Ten motoring journos were then split into three teams, with each team assigned their own EcoSport. After a quick safety briefing and general instructions, as well as a photo for posterity, everyone jumped into their cars and received the first cryptic clue. After a moment deciphering the pictogram on the card we received, my partner Carlo Chungunco of Top Gear magazine made quick work of the clue, and were off to the first destination in no time. The metro traffic, however had other ideas. Points were to be awarded to those who arrived first, so we pushed the EcoSport as fast as the road conditions would safely allow us. Its compact size and nimble handling allowed Carlo, who was behind the wheel at the time, to easily maneuver through the tangled mess which was EDSA and get us to the first challenge at Art in Island in Cubao.
Once we got there though, it dawned on us that we may have enjoyed the ride too much, and found that we were the last to arrive. Bent on taking it all in stride and finishing first anyway, we waited for our own turn to hear the instructions for the next challenge. Once the other teams were inside, we got our turn. In the challenge envelope were snapshots of small segments of the pieces inside the gallery. We were tasked to find the artwork from which the small photo was taken, and pose with it. It was no cakewalk. With 15 photos taken from 15 different paintings across all of Art in Island, there was a lot of scrambling back-and-forth, head scratching, and false alarms. In the end, all of the teams got practically all the photos right, and were more than ready for a break.
The next clue required a little mathematical skill. Teams were given an equation to solve, and a flash drive loaded with music. Participants had to solve the equation, plug the flash drive into the EcoSport's USB drive, and use their voice to have the audio system play the correct track, which contained instructions for getting to the next venue. While we did run into a bit of a snag solving the equation (though our own method was correct), we eventually got the track right, and the car to recognize our voice commands. We were then off to Pasig for a quick lunch and a chance to regroup.
Despite the heavy EDSA traffic, the EcoSport made the ride more than bearable. The EcoSport Titanium was surprisingly roomy inside, and even with clues, snacks, and enough gadgets for a small office in the mix, it didn't feel like we were riding a compact crossover. There were enough ports and chargers around to keep our phones topped up as Waze guided us to our next destination which was Cow and Chicken in Kapitolyo. Fate was kinder to us this time around, and despite having to make our way through intense noontime traffic, we found ourselves first to arrive at the lunch venue. The others had apparently taken a different route, and ended up on the wrong side of C5, allowing us to make up for the points we lost getting to Art in Island at the tail end of the party.
Lunch was massive, and fit for a group that spent its morning running around an art gallery, and stuck twice in Manila traffic. If you're in the area, head over to Cow and Chicken and order their philly cheese steak, or if you're particularly hungry, the chicken and waffles, but make sure you have a massive appetite ready. Don't say we didn't warn you.
From the lunch venue, it was a quick hop to the Greenfield district in Mandaluyong for the next set of challenges. It was my turn behind the wheel of our EcoSport, and after I had everything dialled in, I pulled out of the parking lot and headed off in the direction of the next challenge. Not having taken the wheel of an EcoSport before, I honestly had no idea what to expect. What I did find, however, was extremely pleasant. Nimble steering, a great view of the road, and superb ground clearance were all very welcome given the state of the roads we were going through. The throttle does take a little while to react to inputs, but it wasn't so bad as to cause problems, though you might find yourself revving a little more than you're used to. Give it some time, and you'll be driving it as smoothly as any four-wheeler you've had in the past.
I also appreciated the controls conveniently located on the steering wheel. There's a lot going on with a car as feature-rich as the EcoSport in this level of trim, and to have everything within reach is a great boon, particularly when you're plodding through a long string of buses and stopped cars.
We eventually got to our last venue for the challenges, Trampoline Park in Pasig. After a quick safety briefing and warm-up, we saw exactly what we had to do to complete the challenge. It was an obstacle course that involved jumping across trampolines, shooting basketballs, swimming through a foam pit, and completing a list of the Ford EcoSport's features, followed by a quick game of dodgeball. This was by far the most exhausting part of the day, and once the smoke had settled, we found, to both our surprise and delight, that our duo (or rather trio at this point, as Kat Lanot from Ford joined our ranks) ended with the shortest time.
But the day wasn't quite done yet.
There was one challenge remaining, and it put the teams and the EcoSport to the test. We had to fit as many soda cans into the various compartments inside the EcoSport in as short a time as possible. There were 30 cans available, and all of them had to be placed snugly in their appropriate holders and containers inside the vehicle. This was a real eye-opener, as there were more spots to hold soda cans than I thought. From cup holders for front and rear passengers, and a glove box that routes cold air from the A/C to keep your drinks chilly, the only question that was on my mind at the end of the exercise was "What are you going to do with all that soda when you're on the road?" We managed to fit all 30 cans inside the car, though the official number is 24. Still, that's way more cans that I would have expected. It's really quite roomy for such a tiny vehicle.
At the end of the day, everyone was richer for the experience. We had fun, got to drive a wonderful vehicle from Ford, and made a few new friends. The cherry on top though was that Carlo and I managed to take first place, even with a slow start. The EcoSport was a great companion throughout though, and should very well serve anyone in need of a competent, comfortable daily driver.

The Evangelical Counsels
All Christians are invited to practice the 'Evangelical Counsels' of poverty, chastity and obedience. Professed members of the Carmelite Family - that is those religious or laity who make a public statement of wanting to live the Carmelite way of life - make promises or vows to follow these Evangelical Counsels.
They are called the 'evangelical' counsels because we find them lived and therefore recommended (counselled) by Jesus in the four accounts of the Gospel ('evangelium' in Latin). Jesus Christ was poor in spirit, chaste in heart, and obedient in love to the will of his Father. The evangelical counsels are a useful support in our pursuit of living - as the Carmelite Rule states - 'in allegiance to Jesus Christ'.
All Christians are called to live as Christ lived, and Carmelites profess to do this publicly through the evangelical counsels. The evangelical counsels are closely linked to the way of life of religious communities, because although people have been living the evangelical counsels since the time of Jesus it was not until the development of monastic and mendicant communities that these virtues were professed publicly with the swearing of a vow or promise. Vows of poverty, chastity and obedience are now taken in some form by all formal congregations and orders of religious in the Roman Catholic Church, and the counsels are regarded as the foundation of their conduct and way of life.
A universal invitation
However, the invitation to live poor, chaste and obedient is not restricted to religious and clergy. All Jesus' followers are invited to adopt these principles in whatever way is appropriate to them. The evangelical counsels are recommended for all the baptised. Both the 1983 Code of Canon Law (§207 # 2) and the 1992 Catechism of the Catholic Church (§873) remind us that within both the clergy and the laity 'there exist Christian faithful who are consecrated to God in their own special manner and serve the salvific mission of the Church through the profession of the evangelical counsels.' The Catechism states that those who profess the evangelical counsels publicly within a permanent state of life recognised by the Church live a consecrated life. So it can be said that, even though they are not religious, in making the profession proper to the Carmelite Third Order, lay Carmelites consecrate their lives to God as a deepening of their baptismal commitment.
The 2003 Rule for the Third Order of Carmel also reminds lay Carmelites that they are invited in a special way to adopt poverty, chastity and obedience as part of their way of life:
The spirit of the evangelical counsels, common to all Christians, becomes for the Tertiaries a plan for life which touches the areas of power, of sensuality and of material goods. The vows are an ever greater demand not to serve false idols, but to attain that freedom of loving God and neighbour which is above all forms of egoism. Holiness lies in the fulfilment of this double command to love. (§13)
Poverty, chastity, and obedience are not ends in themselves; they are virtues we practice so as to conform more closely to Jesus Christ. By professing these counsels as a free choice, Carmelites become prophets in the heart of the Church, reminding all people by our dedication to Christ that God alone can set us free to be fully human and alive.
Carmelites are invited to be poor in spirit and to follow the vision of Saint Albert's Rule in sharing our resources. Carmelite religious live in material poverty, not claiming property as their own. Carmelite laity are not required to give up all possessions but are invited to live simply and in a spirit of poverty.
The virtues associated with poverty resonate with the contemplative core of the Carmelite charism. Poverty is closely linked to the Carmelite notion of vacare Deo; leaving space for God to act in our lives and trusting in God's providence. Having a spirit of poverty allows us to make space for God and do away with false idols, since 'you cannot serve both God and wealth' (Luke 16:13). Ultimately only God, not things, will satisfy and save us. Material goods are tools given to us by God and are not bad in themselves, but possessions can come to possess us and enslave our hearts. Carmelites strive to live more simply, being not excessively concerned with material things.
Through poverty God gradually releases our hearts to love not only him, but also in solidarity those who have less than ourselves, physically and spiritually. By practising poverty we come to respect the created world of which we are stewards, and to be grateful for God's bounty which is for all people. Embracing voluntary poverty condemns possession of the poor and the idolatry of wealth, and impels us to seek justice and peace.
Chastity is often confused with the vocation of celibacy, but chastity is concerned not only with bodily purity but more importantly with purity of mind and heart, what the Carmelite traditions calls puritas cordis. In the Carmelite tradition Albert's Rule speaks of the 'cincture of chastity' (Chapter 19) and Mary, Our Lady, is hailed as the woman who kept a heart pure for God so that God could pour into her whatever grace he willed.
At profession Carmelite religious undertake a vow of chastity and live a celibate life. Lay Carmelites promise chastity according to their state in life. This does not mean cutting off relationships because of Carmel; quite the opposite. Lay Carmelites are asked to deepen their relationships, to make their actions selfless rather than selfish, and to be an experience of God for other people. In relationships we are invited by the virtue of chastity to encounter the spirit of God dwelling in other people, and so not be demeaning or abusive. Chastity is not about a prudish rejection of physical love, but a statement that God alone can fully and finally satisfy the longing of our hearts. Chastity is a way of living open to everyone, whether we are single or in a relationship, clerical or lay.
Professing to live in chastity is described as follows in the 2003 Constitutions of the Discalced Carmelite Secular Order:
The promise of chastity reinforces the commitment to love God above all else, and to love others with the love God has for them. In this promise the Secular Carmelite seeks the freedom to love God and neighbour unselfishly giving witness to the divine intimacy promised by the beatitude 'blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God' (Matthew 5:8). The promise of chastity is a commitment to Christian love in its personal and social dimensions in order to create authentic community in the world. By this promise the Secular Carmelite also expresses the conscious desire to respect each person as required by God's law and one's state of life, as a single person or married or widowed. This promise does not prevent a change in state of life. (§13)
Some people within the Carmelite Family – mostly the religious – take the further step of committing to live not only chaste but also celibate, that is, forsaking sexual relations so as to be available more freely to serve all people and thus build up the Kingdom of God. However, celibacy is a vocation and gift in its own right and is not given to the majority of lay Carmelites, who through their commitment to their families and loved-ones (sometimes though not always in sexual relationships) also contribute to the building up of God's Kingdom.
The term obedience comes from the Latin ob-audire, 'to listen to'. It is not simply about ordering people to do our bidding because we have power over them, nor is it about blindly doing the will of others against our conscience or reason. Obedience in the proper sense is not an exercise of power but rather about listening, discerning together the will of God, and respecting legitimate authority even when we cannot understand from our limited perspective why something is being asked of us. When we commit ourselves in Carmel, we commit everything to God. We hand over control and learn to cooperate with God, so that the Spirit can work in and through us.
According to an ancient formula the traditional promise made by a Carmelite, lay or religious, is obedience to God, to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and to the Prior General. The Prior General as senior brother within Carmel is the visible sign of unity in the Order, 'a spiritual father, head and bond of unity' (Rule for the Third Order of Carmel §11), and he is committed to all members of the Carmelite Family. Although it is unlikely that the Prior General will ever ask anything directly of most Carmelites, it is possible, and this needs to be considered seriously when pledging oneself in the service of the Order. More likely we may be asked to do something by the people to whom the Prior General delegates his authority, normally a Prior Provincial (senior brother within a particular area) or his representatives.
At a local level when we commit to Carmel we subscribe to be obedient to the people chosen by the community to lead us. Leaders are also asked to be obedient to the will of God as expressed through the community. That may include taking up responsibilities within Carmel even when we do not want to because we have been asked by our brothers and sisters. In the Carmelite tradition it is very significant that those in leadership are always chosen by the consent of the community.
The Rule of Saint Albert arguably has more to say about obedience than it does about either poverty or chastity, addressed as it is to 'Brother B. and the other hermits living in obedience to him'. It was not until Pope Innocent IV approved Albert's Way of Life text as a formal Rule for religious in 1247 that vows of poverty and chastity were explicitly incorporated into the text in Chapter 4. As Carmelites we therefore need to reflect very seriously on the virtue of obedience, which according to our Rule of Saint Albert will help us merit the reward of eternal life (Chapter 23). The Rule also reminds us that we should revere those who serve us in leadership roles, our minds set not on the individual 'but on Christ who has placed him [or her] over you' (Chapter 23). The leader of the Carmelite community is also reminded by the Rule to 'put into practice what our Lord said in the Gospel: Whoever has a mind to become a leader among you must make yourself servant to the rest' (Chapter 22).
Through baptism we undertake to listen to the wisdom and authority of the Church. By entering Carmel we also submit to the authority of the 'elder and wiser part' of the Order (Rule Chapter 4). We are asked to be faithful to what is authentically Carmelite, and at times submit our minds to the teachings of the tradition and of the Church, though an informed conscience is always the ultimate authority. Being obedient does not mean we stop thinking for ourselves, but it does mean that we need to have minds that are open to having our ways of thinking challenged.
When we commit to Carmel we do not give up the unique gifts that we bring to the Family. The proper exercising of authority in our tradition is to help the gifts and experience of individuals to flourish in the community. It used to be said that obedience was about driving out our individuality and making us conform to one standard 'ideal' of Carmelite life. Today we understand that we need to find a balance between expressing our own God-given identity and individuality, whilst allowing God and those around us to transform those parts of us that still need to change.
The statutes of the lay Carmelites describe the vow of obedience this way:
The Lay Carmelite professes obedience according to the Carmelite Way of Life and the documents proper to the Lay Carmelite toward his/her superiors in the Church … this means obedience and respect for the Superiors of the Order and their delegates as well as a spirit of cooperation with one's local community and its officers. In matters pertaining to our life as Catholic Christians, this requires the Lay Carmelite to show obedience and respect to the Pope as Universal Shepherd, and to the local Bishop and his assistant bishops as shepherds of the local Church. One is also to show a cooperative spirit and courteous behaviour towards one's priest and various non-ordained staff members of the local parish. Of course, as Christians Lay Carmelites would extend this respect to all.
Through promising obedience Carmelites undertake a serious commitment, but rather than demanding commitment from us the Order invites us to give of ourselves freely. However, having made that commitment through profession we are at the call of the Order, and asked to be obedient to it. By entering Carmel a candidate is committing to something more than a club, a prayer group or pious sodality; henceforth he or she belongs to a religious order, and the Order does not belong to him or her. Membership of Carmel does bring responsibilities and obligations, as well as rights. Embracing a vocation within the Order should be a free acceptance of our obligations within the Carmelite Family, not a burden thrust on us or accepted half-heartedly that we come to resent.
Practice makes perfect
The evangelical counsels offer us a challenge to be as perfect as we can be – or better put – to be as loving as we can be. The counsels are a way for us to cooperate with God. We can choose whether or not to take up the challenge; neither God nor the Carmelite Order will ever force us to be obedient, poor, or chaste, but we are invited by Jesus to adopt these values as a way of living so that we grow in true love and thus build up the Kingdom of God.
The evangelical counsels are ideals to live up to, and it is likely that at times we will fail to do so. We do not have to be perfect in our living of the evangelical counsels to make the step of trying to live them day by day, publicly or privately. All we are asked to do is to have an open heart to try and live them as best we can, and God will do the rest. This idea is captured in the friars' document on formation, the Ratio issued in 2000:
When they are embraced with the generous commitment which flows from love, the evangelical counsels contribute to purification of the heart and to spiritual freedom. By means of the evangelical counsels the Holy Spirit gradually transforms us and conforms us to Christ. We become a living memorial of Jesus' way of living and acting. (§9)

The original Spinsock was designed and produced by Catch the Wind about three miles from where we are now based. So we are particularly pleased that they have authorized us to make a custom "diamond pattern" of this classic piece of line art.
The standard Spinsock is made from six long horizontal stripes. We sell them in sizes from 12 feet to 90 feet. Spinsocks are the original "big stuff". Before Peter Lynn, before bols, baskets, and barrels, the ninety-foot spinsock was the way you impressed people with a big colorful inflated piece. And it still is!
But now we are also producing larger Spinsocks in the dramatic diamond pattern that has been so effective in our giant Crowns.
Each piece is made-to-order and can be shipped to you in roughly two weeks. And since we make them ourselves, you get to choose the colors.
To help get the first few out there, we're announcing a 15% introductory discount through July 15.
In average winds, large socks like this can be lifted by a 125 or 252 Flowform, a Pilot 75, or one of our SkyFoil Lifters. Check them out on our Parafoil Pages.
When lifted off the ground, the piece rotates briskly in the wind. Of course, the day we went out to take photos, there was hardly any wind at all!
We also have one other new creation out this week. We've been asked to make the famous Peter Lynn "Piranha Drogue". It's a quirky little piece with all those sharp "teeth". But used in the proper application, it will add some real interest to your flying display.
We're producing Piranha in a two foot model for $18 and a five foot size for $50.
Don't get bitten!
So that's the news this week. June is typically our relaxing and catch-up month. But come July, we're back on the road. We have stops planned in Long Beach, Washington; Kitty Hawk, North Carolina; Newport, Rhode Island; Berkeley, California; and Rehoboth, Delaware at the beginning of August. See you out there!!
We're being overrun with Octopusses. Or is it Octopi? Octopoda?? Anyway, we have a bunch of them.
The normal price on this Peter Lynn design is $400.But order an Octopus between now and July 4th and we'll take 15% off. And if you bought one at the regular price within the past two weeks -- call us and we'll give you a 15% refund.

Tips for Buying a Car
Are you looking to buy a new or used vehicle? Then here are 10 tips you can use to make that process just a little bit easier in the long run!
Check that VIN number. Going to a title company ponte vedra beach can help you to sort out details so that you can make a solid decision.
Look at the odometer. The average mileage per year should be somewhere from 10,000 to 12,000.
Check everywhere for corrosion and rust. Doesn't matter as much on the outside, but make sure the batteries and connectors under the hood aren't corroding.
Feel the hoses. While you're under the hood, make sure that there are no cracks in hoses and belts, and that the radiator hoses are soft, not rough or immovable.
Never buy a car, used or new, without test driving it. This can help you find odd noises and feel if the alignment is off.
Check the exhaust. Start the car. Is there any smoke coming out of the tailpipe? What color is it? White is usually a radiator or coolant issue, blue is oil problems, and black is fuel-related.
Kick the tires. Newer models have a light that turns on if the tires are off balance. Also, check the wear on the tires to see if they're even.
Bounce the corner of the car. Push on the corner of the car. It should only bounce once or twice. Why? Because otherwise, there's an issue with the shocks.
Look at the carpet. Check for wet spots or spots that look like they were once wet. Obviously, you're checking for potential leaks.
Turn on the air conditioning and heat. Let it run. Does it emit a smell of some sort? Does anything visible come out of the vents? Does it make any odd noises?

Sofia Richie is continuing to wow fans with her recent fashion looks. The model, 20, took to social media this week to show off more of her gorgeous outfits, as well as her curves.
Sofia Richie posted two new photos to her Instagram story on Friday. The first photo was more casual, and showed Richie wearing short black shorts, which showcased her long, tan and toned legs.
Richie also wore a matching long sleeved black shirt, and white shoes. She had a colorful purse slung over her shoulder, and wore dangling earrings. She completed the look by sporting a pair of dark sunglasses. In addition, her hair was pulled back at the base of her head.
In the second photo, Sofia looked more formal. She wore a beautiful white long-sleeved sequined top and khaki-colored dress pants. She is seen sporting a ring on her finger, and holding a black clutch in her hand. She's also wearing more understated earrings, and again has her brunette hair pulled back in a sleek look.
The two photos are like night and day as one of them is dark and casual and the other is light and formal. Perhaps Sofia Richie was trying to show the contrast between her fashion and/or her personality.
As previously reported by the Inquisitr, Sofia Richie is currently dating Kourtney Kardashian's former boyfriend, Scott Disick. Kourtney and Scott dated for nearly 10 years and share three children together, Mason, Penelope, and Reign.
Recently, Richie has become a hot topic of conversation on Keeping Up With the Kardashians as Kourtney became very upset when she found out that Scott had introduced their children to Sofia without talking to her about it first. The couple got into a fight over the situation, and Kardashian eventually revealed that it was very "hard" for her to accept that another woman would be in her children's lives.
"The thought of my kids being introduced to another woman and having somebody in their lives, I think it's hard for me and hard for them," she said. "There's a lot going on for them and I know that it can be confusing. It makes me upset, especially because we sat in front of a therapist, we said what we thought was best for the kids. We felt like a lot of changes have been made lately and that this wasn't the best time," Kourtney Kardashian admitted of Sofia Richie's role in her kids' lives.

However, ask someone from the Greek town of Vrontados about Easter and you'll probably trigger a 'Nam flashback. This is all thanks to the Panagia Erithiani and Agios Markos churches and their annual tradition of Rouketopolemos, which translates directly to "Rocket War," which is exactly what it sounds like.
Via n9k0s.multiply.com
"Peace be with y -- EAT ROCKET!"
Rouketopolemos is just a giant unregulated rocket fight between the two aforementioned churches. At midnight before Easter Sunday, the congregations of Panagia Erithiani and Agios Markos go up to their respective bell towers, located on hilltops 400 meters apart. They prepare launching ramps full of homemade projectile explosives before unleashing the Kracken on their cross-town rivals.
Via Thenigo.com
"The Lord is my heat-seeking rocket. I shall not miss."
To win the game, you must hit the opposing church's bell more times than they hit yours, though honestly if you make it through the night with all 10 fingers intact, go ahead and declare yourself a winner. While shit does get pretty damn real on the ground, the real best view in the house is only for the ultra ballsy: right next to the fucking bell.

Words have always fascinated me. The power of a good book to transport me to other worlds, or the way song lyrics can make me feel emotions so deeply that it brings me to tears. I think a lot about the power of words, especially when it comes to inner thoughts. How does the way you think affect you? Can it have the power to negatively or positively influence your life?
There have been studies done and books written about the power of positive thinking. However, positive thinking didn't seem to be that monumental of an idea to me until I put it into practice in my own life. Like many people, I have struggled with self-confidence. I have worried about what people think of me since I was in grade school. It can be exhausting and very limiting. I have heard of positive affirmations and other techniques to increase confidence and promote self-love. However, until the beginning of this year I never really put any serious effort into changing the the tone of my inner dialogue.
Since January, I have taken a few steps to improve the way I view myself. Some of these steps were conscious and some I didn't even realize I was taking. Most of my effort has been focused on changing my inner dialogue and the way I talk to myself. I started by hanging up some notes around my apartment in places that I look every single day, like in my mirrors or in my medicine cabinet. They say things like "you are beautiful inside and out" or "the way you look does not define who you are." I also wrote little notes to myself on my mirror using a dry erase marker, like "be kind to yourself today." Reading these notes every day, even absentmindedly, slowly started to change the way I thought about myself. The next step I took was actively changing the way I talk to myself. I don't necessarily talk to myself out loud, but when I consciously thought about my inner dialogue, I realized that I speak very negatively to myself. "Wow your skin looks rough" or "jeez this shirt makes me look fat." Stuff like that. Once I started recognizing these thoughts, I would catch myself and change it to something more positive. I started actively making positive inner comments to myself about myself. And I'm telling you, the power of positive thinking is real.
It sounds weird and complicated and slightly psycho, like I'm hearing voices but I promise if you try it, it can change the way you see yourself. Since I started being nicer to myself, I've started loving myself more and it is amazing. Once you are happy with yourself, you stop caring so much what others think and you feel the freedom to make decisions with only your happiness in mind, not what others will say or think about you. For the first time since I was little, I find myself doing things without wondering how I look in the eyes of the people around me. I feel more comfortable trying new exercises at the gym, or going out to dinner with no makeup, or posting things on social media based on what I want to share rather than how many likes it will get me. Sure, some people might be talking about me or laughing if I look ridiculous, but the main thing I have realized is that what other people say or think about me does not have to have any bearing on my life if I don't let it.
Now I'm not saying that I love myself all the time and I never notice my flaws or I'm never too hard on myself anymore; I'm definitely not perfect. I'm just more conscious of it now. And I'm more conscious of the way it affects me. And I'm more conscious of my power to change it. Self-reflection is a wonderful thing and everyone should be spending at least a few minutes every day reflecting on their goals and what they're doing to reach them. One of my goals that I wrote down at the beginning of the year was to stop caring so much about what other people think. 5 months into the year, I feel like I have made some solid progress towards that goal and it has had a positive impact on my happiness and my anxiety level.
I started this post talking about the power of words. Often, my blog posts are the result of me seeing a quote and it sticking with me. When this happens, I usually reflect on it for a little while and then I realize I want to share my feelings about it. A few days ago, I saw a quote that said "If you wouldn't say it to a friend, then why would you say it to yourself?" It made me stop and think. Since then, every time I've had a negative thought about myself I imagined saying it out loud to my best friend. I would never say ""Wow, you look fat in that shirt" to her, so why would I talk that way to myself? I had been focusing on positive self-talk for a while already but this quote really put into perspective just how important it is.
Positive thinking is already affecting my life. It affects my outlook for my future, my decisions in the present, and the way I feel about myself. I started this process to improve my self-confidence, mostly regarding certain aspects of my appearance that I was uncomfortable with. Gaining more self-confidence has lead to other benefits such as not being so anxious about making decisions regarding my future and realizing that I don't have to settle for anything. I can go after whatever I want. At the beginning of this year, I felt lost, anxious, and extremely stressed. Now, my situation hasn't changed much but I feel optimistic and excited for new opportunities. I'm excited for the chance to learn, fail, and grow from the experiences. Sure, I have my (many) moments where I still doubt myself but recognizing those moments and talking myself through them positively has helped me tremendously. So if you're unhappy or needing a self-esteem overhaul – try changing the way you think, and it could change the way you live.

Happy Birthday, Cousin Jerry!!!
Unexpectedly, the boy came home early Monday.
Unexpected surprises are always the best.
He came home just as I was finishing up those Caramel Crunch Bars I posted yesterday.
So he picks up my camera and tries to take a picture of me.
Now I don't like to have my picture taken any more than he does, so I began making silly faces.
Faces that may or may not have looked like this.
But all he was able to get was this one…with my eyes all crinkled up.
So I made him stand still so I could return the favor.
I know that I didn't take this picture in the right light, but can someone please…I'm beggin' here…please tell me how to remove that awful glare from his glasses in Photoshop.

Jake and I have two cats and a dog. To us, having pets is one of the most important aspects of our lives and identity. You might even consider it a hobby. Unfortunately, it is a hobby that, as you will see, has not always been entirely strategic.
Our love for animals has permeated much of our lives. I've been vegetarian for over a decade, and Jake was veggie for six years and still cuts back where he can. We also have a standing commitment to donate only to animal welfare organizations. They're our charities of choice!
Meet Julius, the Almost-Third Cat
When Jake and I met, I actually had three cats. One of them was diabetic, however, and passed away. So when an ex co-worker of Jake's said that she had found a homeless cat she couldn't keep, he said yes. Sight unseen. Can you guess how well this is going to turn out?
We picked the cat up and brought him home. At first everything seemed to be going great. He'd been living in an alley, but was friendly and litterbox-trained. He was an orange tabby, so we named him Julius.
Unfortunately, when I took him to the vet for a checkup, it turned out that he had feline immunodeficiency virus, or FIV. Now, we're okay with spending money on sick pets. Additionally, cats with FIV aren't always "sick" and can live long, healthy lives. It's also very difficult for cats to transmit the disease to others. It principally spreads through serious fights where blood is drawn. Likely, Julius was attacked by feral cats while he was living on the street and that's how he got it.
The first (cheaper) FIV test they ran can show false positives, so the vet also ran a more conclusive (expensive) test on the basis of the initial results. I also got Julius his first round of regular shots and also had him tested for worms. The initial vet visit including all tests was about $300.
When a Pet Doesn't Work Out
The next step was to supervise Julius's introduction to our other two cats to make sure there wasn't going to be fighting that could lead to FIV transmission. This was especially important because our other two cats, Nina and Max, were elderly and thus had weaker immune systems. They were also both declawed in the front and wouldn't be able to defend themselves.
Unfortunately, Julius decided to be a bully to Max. I was genuinely concerned that Julius would draw blood.
Additionally, I felt that, since Max was getting old and frail, he deserved better than being tormented during his golden years (his death two years later would teach us some important emotional and financial lessons).
Julius had also clearly gotten used to life on the streets, and he didn't appreciate being kept inside. How did he express his displeasure? By yowling at the top of his lungs. All day. All night. It was seriously like an air raid siren going off in our house 24 hours a day. You probably think I am exaggerating. I am not.
Jake was working from home during this time and, as an attorney, he has to talk to clients, judges, and other attorneys on the phone. Needless to say, having a cat screeching at 110 decibels in the next room wasn't conducive to the work environment he was trying to create.
Limited (Read: Expensive) Options
Our options, however, were pretty limited. The Humane Society and Animal Control usually put down cats that test positive for FIV. Most privately run rescues won't take these animals at all. There are just too many healthy, easily adoptable cats out there who also need help.
We also didn't feel comfortable letting him loose because then he could infect other cats. It was looking like our only option was to put him down. I spent two weeks contacting vet offices (many of which are happy to help re-home pets) and a variety of rescue organizations.
Finally, I got an email back from Best Friends Animal Society in Utah. You may have heard of them. National Geographic did a series called Dog Town on their work. They agreed to take him! Only problem? I'd have to bring him to Best Friends myself.
Before I could drive him to the sanctuary, however, I had to take him back to the vet for a special checkup and a certificate so that he could legally cross state lines. Another $150. And did I mention the only date that worked for a drop-off was the day before my bridal shower?
It was a six-hour drive, so I drove the first half of the way there on a Thursday with my two bridesmaids and we stayed in a hotel. Another hundred bucks. We drove the rest of the way on Friday and dropped off the cat before touring the sanctuary (which is totally amazing, BTW. They are IMO the best animal rescue in the country, hands down). We probably spent another $100 or so in gas and $100 on food during the trip.
All in all? I think we ended up spending over $600 on a cat we didn't even keep.
Was it Worth it?
Not having to make the decision to put an otherwise healthy and friendly cat down definitely made the experience worth it for me and Jake. We were also able to track his eventual adoption via their website. I know Best Friends vets (haha! pun) potential owners very carefully, so I'm sure Julius got a great home that's a better fit for him than we were.
And now that I've witnessed the incredible work that this organization does, I donate to them any time I'm able. In fact, Jake and I wooed each other this Valentine's Day by sponsoring some of the special needs animals at their rescue. It seemed cooler than getting gifts (plus, honestly, we procrastinated!).
Even though the situation ended up being the best possible outcome for Julius, we did learn a very expensive lesson in what can happen when you make decisions without fully considering the consequences.
After Max died, we waited two months before even starting to look for another cat. Once we had decided to go forward, we made sure to go through a rescue so that we could get a cat that would be a good fit for our family. And that's how we ended up with Lucky Cat!
What tips and tricks do you have to make sure you adopt the right pet instead of making an expensive mistake like we did?

She and her husband Jake are in their mid-30s and recently bought a home together. Currently, she manages graduate programs at a large state institution, and he is an attorney at a mid-sized firm.
Between them, they have paid off approximately $30,000 in consumer debt since she started writing for GRS in 2012. However, they still have nearly $200,000 of student loan debt, so she will continue to chronicle their debt-paydown journey. In addition to personal finance, Honey is interested in vegetarianism and cooking, gardening (despite living in the desert and having a black thumb), issues in higher education (including the student loan bubble and the slow death of tenure), and animal rights; however, her heart lies with fantasy novels, trashy TV and Skyrim.

Financial Planning
At Bogart Wealth, financial planning is about striving to ensuring success, not only by seeking to achieve investment returns, but by creating a holistic, financial plan that is custom-tailored to each client's particular situation and life goals.
There are many benefits to developing a multi-faceted financial plan. There are many tax benefits that may come with long-term planning. We will use a wide variety of financial instruments, such as insurance, retirement plans, tax-deferred investments, etc.
As a Registered Investment Adviser, Bogart Wealth is held to the highest standards of conduct and has a fiduciary duty to not only act in the best interests of its clients, but also to provide full and fair disclosure of all material facts to them and a duty to avoid misleading them. Accordingly, we do not recommend investment products that we could deem inappropriate for your investment objectives and risk tolerance, we do not charge any fees that are not fully disclosed and transparent, and we disclose all conflicts of interest that could arise as part of the advisory process.
Instead, our financial advisors act as a team, on your behalf to continually monitor your plan's performance, watch for changes in the financial world that might impact your plan, and simply be there for you should you require an adjustment, have a question or want a review. We're your team, and we're there for you.
Our process has a number of steps. Here's what to expect:
- Understand your goals, financial situation and whether we're a good fit. We will sit down with you and have a detailed discussion in order to establish that we understand what it is you wish to achieve – and that our approach is acceptable to you.
- Financial review. We will ask you to provide documentation for any financial holdings, investments, cash flows, estate planning, asset valuations, insurance plans, etc. in order to evaluate your current financial situation.
- Discuss your preferences relevant to a comprehensive financial plan, such as
- When you plan to retire
- Your cash flow requirements
- Your plans for beneficiaries
- Investment return expectations
- Your risk comfort level
- Your life plans
- Evaluate your current situation. How well does your current financial plan meet your goals?
- Deliver recommendations. Once we have your financial documentation and understand your goals and particulars, we produce a comprehensive plan and discuss it with you. Each plan is different, but will likely include:
- Investment recommendations
- Asset allocation planning
- Financial instruments
- Insurance
- Tax-planning strategies (we will recommend you work with a tax professional)
- Estate planning
- Cash flow strategy and tools
- Finalize your strategic financial plan. After discussing our recommendations, we develop a thorough plan. We go through it with you, step by step, and explain the strategic thinking behind it. We also strive to ensure you understand your plan's risks and rewards before approving it for implementation.
- Once the plan is finalized, we will begin to:
- Buy/sell securities
- Set up meetings with other relevant professionals, such as tax advisors and estate planners.
- Buy/sell insurance
- Help you set up banking accounts as necessary
- Establish performance monitoring
- Monitor and report. Your Bogart Wealth financial advisors will monitor the performance of your plan, and will provide you with regular, comprehensive reports. We will also be available to answer questions, or to make adjustments as necessary. We understand that sometimes, our clients situations change, as do markets, financial trends, tax codes and the world in general. For this reason, we don't view the development of your financial plan as the end goal – it is just the beginning.
We encourage clients to stay informed, while keeping a close eye on a wide variety of factors that could affect retirement plans and wealth management strategies. Financial education – along with regular meetings with your financial consultant – enables you to take advantage of new opportunities while avoiding any looming pitfalls.
Contact Us for a Free Financial Planning Consultation
Please Note: The scope of any financial planning and consulting services to be provided depends upon the specific requests and needs of the client. Bogart does not serve as an attorney, accountant, or insurance agent. Bogart does not prepare legal documents or tax returns, nor does it sell insurance products. If the client desires, one of Bogart's representatives, in their separate individual capacities, can be engaged to be provide insurance sales/services as described on Bogart's written disclosure Brochure (a copy of which is available upon request), per the terms and conditions of a separate engagement and compensation.

Second-place Oxford United kept up the pressure on the league leaders by earning a 1-0 win over rivals Cambridge United thanks to Ryan Taylor's goal.
An early strike from Marc Richards saw Northampton Town move into the final automatic promotion spot, courtesy of a 1-0 victory over Mansfield Town.
The Cobblers were able to leapfrog Accrington Stanley in the table, after John Coleman's side could only manage a 2-2 draw in a thrilling match with Newport County.
Bristol Rovers took advantage of other results going their way to move to within a spot of the playoff places, as Matty Taylor struck a double in a 2-0 win against Carlisle United.
Tom Pett grabbed a late equaliser for Stevenage as Teddy Sheringham's side fought back to earn a 2-2 draw at Yeovil Town.

There was also late drama in Exeter City and Crawley Town's clash at St James Park, as Luke Rooney scored an equaliser in the second minute of stoppage time to salvage his team a 2-2 draw.

Here are answers to 5 key questions about the new Big Bertha Alpha 815 Double Black Diamond Drivers, available 11/13.
1. What should we know about this driver?
It's our "experts only" driver, made for the best players who want ultra low spin for maximum distance. These golfers create high ball speeds and usually make impact on the center of the face, so it's a perfect choice for them.
2. Where does the extreme low spin come from?
RMOTO Technology saves over 3 grams of weight in the face, and we put that weight back into the club to push CG lower while also improving stability on off center hits. That's key. Basically, the lighter weight in the face leads to more ball speed across the face, and we've moved the CG low for even more speed.
We've included the Gravity Core as well for our patented CG adjustment that lets you configure the core (and thus CG height) up or down. This can give you a low or lower spinning driver, and in Alpha 815 Double Black Diamond the Gravity Core is actually taller, giving you more spin differential (than the Alpha 815 Driver) between the low and high setting.
The "up" is even more up and the "down" is even more down, and we were able to achieve this by modifying the crown. As a result, you get the right amount of spin to maximize your distance, all without changing loft or face angle. It's a great way for better players to tune launch conditions.
3. Since this is a driver for better players, does it have a deeper face?
Yes it does. This is a deeper face and a more compact head design. The shape of the crown, smaller footprint and face angle at address all suit better players' eyes.
4. What about adjustability and shaft options?
We're giving you the best of both. The adjustability features 1 gram and 5 gram weight ports to shape your ball flight and an OptiFit hosel with 8-way adjustability for loft and lie angle.
The Tour Premium Shafts include an Aldila Rogue 60, Matrix Ozik Black Tie 70 and a more comprehensive list of no charge exotic shaft offerings than anyone. No charge! Not a typo!
5. Great. Anything else we should know?
This is the lowest spinning driver we've ever made. If you have the ball speed and launch conditions to match, you're going to get all the distance that goes with it (and even a little forgiveness too).
It's available online, including at callawaygolf.com, and in stores on 11/13, priced at $499.99. The loft options are 9° and 10.5°.

In order to be a successful realtor there are a few things that you need to know. For example, you need to have good people skills, you need to know how to negotiate, you need to know how to make a house presentable and it is important that you understand how the market works.
Good People Skills
Being in the real estate business requires meeting new people almost every day on the job. Therefore you need to understand that people are different and you will have to change your tactics when dealing with different clients. When you approach a client you first have to understand how they think and work and then approach them accordingly. You may not be able to use the same strategy with every client therefore it is important that you first study your client and approach them accordingly.
The Art of Negotiating
The process of negotiating is a big part of being a relator. It is vital that you always have your client's best interest at heart. Before you can negotiate a deal you first have to gain an understanding of how the market works. Therefore you would know if the offer the buyer is offering is fair or not. Before you can make your offer to the buyer you have to your client's requirements. You should not be afraid to be honest with your client. For example, if your client wants to sell their house for a price that is too expensive it is your job as their realtor to tell them if the price is fair or not. If you are not honest with your client and they offer a price that is too high it could result in them not being able to sell their home. Likewise if your client puts out an offer that is under-priced then you should advise them to increase their asking price.
A Presentable Home
When selling a home, it is important to have an open house as then potential buyers can have an idea of what their new home would like. Before you have an open house however you should make sure the house is presentable. In order to sell your home, you need to make sure the property is staged well. If you are not sure how to do this you can read up on the property staging in Sydney and you can use certain tips to make your home as presentable as possible.
Know the House Inside And Out
As a realtor, it is important that you know the house you are selling inside and out. This is vital because if your buyer asks you any questions about the house you should always have an answer. It is your job to convince the buyer that the home will be most suitable for them however in order to do this you need to know everything there is to know about the house. Therefore you should ask the seller everything there is to know and if you have any doubts you should first make sure your doubts are answered.

- Cost
- - How are the lawyer's fees structured - hourly or flat fee? Can the lawyer estimate the cost of your case?
- City
- - Is the lawyer's office conveniently located?
Not sure what questions to ask a lawyer?
Here are a few to get you started:
- How long have you been in practice?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?

- What are your fees and costs?
- What are the next steps?
Want to check lawyer discipline?
It is always a good idea to research your lawyer prior to hiring. Every state has a disciplinary organization that monitors attorneys, their licenses, and consumer complaints. By researching lawyer discipline you can:
- Ensure the attorney is currently licensed to practice in your state
- Gain an understanding of his or her historical disciplinary record, if any.
- Determine the seriousness of complaints/issues which could range from late bar fees to more serious issues requiring disciplinary action.

Hospital Clinic of Barcelona, Spain
The 4K visualization system is designed to provide four times the resolution of Full HD. Combined with a wider color range, it enables easier identification of differences between tissues.
Another important feature is magnified visualization. The Visera 4K UHD has a 55" 4K UHD monitor that provides surgical team with panoramic visualization of the surgical field and the option of using a 2.0x zoom with HD quality that potentially allows the scope to be away from the working field, avoiding the collapse between instruments and decreasing the camera spotting rate.
This innovative visualization system has been used by the Gastrointestinal Surgery Department at the Hospital Clínic of Barcelona. Antonio M Lacy and his team already performed a Cecil approach to rectal cancer and a laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy using the Visera 4K UHD.
We are very enthusiastic about this innovation and its potential benefits in modern surgical procedures.
