Revision as of 15:46, 12 April 2011
SkyView can display terrain data (look down and Synthetic Vision) and navigation data. Prior to SkyView firmware version 3.0, both capabilities were not full-featured. As of SkyView firmware 3.0, both terrain data display (SV-SYNVIS-280) and navigation data (SV-MAP-270) are fully featured and must be purchased to display them on SkyView.
Terrain data is used for SkyView's Synthetic Vision capability. Three terrain data files are required:
- High Resolution Terrain - Worldwide by Region (SkyView ships with North America; customers in other areas must download other High Resolution Terrain files).
- Low Resolution Terrain - Worldwide (SkyView ships with this file).
- Very Low Resolution Terrain - Worldwide (SkyView ships with this file as of version 3.0 firmware; previous customers must download and install this file).
The above databases are provided free at http://www.dynonavionics.com/docs/support_software_SkyView.html
Once installed, these files do not need to be updated (mountains don't move very often).
There is a one-time $100 fee to enable synthetic vision (SV-SYNVIS-280) on EACH SkyView display. However, the vast majority of SkyView displays bundle SV-SYNVIS-280 into the purchase price of the SkyView display.
Demo Mode
SkyView firmware version 3.0 ships with a free trial of the SkyView SV-MAP-270 GPS Navigation software. The trial mode lasts for 30 hours of flight time. The 30 hours become active upon installation of 3.0, and only FLIGHT hours of SkyView operation count against the 30 hours. (You may use the trial for as long as you want while stationary, before the the 30 flight hours are used.)
Note that SV-MAP-270 is the CAPABILITY to display Navigation data - it is NOT the Navigation data!
The 30 flight-hour demo is to give you a chance to evaluate whether like the map capability on SkyView and want to purchase the optional SV-MAP-270 license for $500 (price is per SkyView SYSTEM - does not have to be purchased for each SkyView Display).
When you fly through the 30 flight-hours demo period, the next time SkyView is powered up, the map button will not appear and you will not be able to display maps.
Purchasing SV-MAP-270
SV-MAP-270 is a product sold just like any other Dynon Avionics product. It can be stocked by, and purchased from all authorized Dynon dealers, or purchased directly from Dynon Avionics.
Only ONE SV-MAP-270 must to be purchased for to enable SV-MAP-270 on any aircraft (SkyView system). While SV-MAP-270 is installed on only one SkyView display, doing so enables SV-MAP-270 on all other SkyView displays that are permanently connected.
Unlike SV-SYNVIS-280, SV-MAP-270 is not purchased "bundled" on a SkyView display. SV-MAP-270 may be bought concurrently WITH a SkyView display, but the customer (or the dealer or installer, on the customer's behalf) is required to install SV-MAP-270 by inputing the SV-MAP-270 code into (one of) their SkyView display(s).
When SV-MAP-270 is purchased, the customer receives a (paper) Certificate. Printed on the (paper) certificate is a Certificate Code, which is redeemable, ONE TIME, for a License Code. The license code is a unique six character alphanumeric string that is entered into a SkyView display.
As explained on the Certificate, the Certificate Code is redeemed for a License Code by going to license.dyonavionics.com and entering some basic information along with the Certificate Code. Note that doing so 1) invalidates the Certificate Code - it can never be used again, and 2) generates a License Code that is unique to only one specific SkyView display. The resulting License code will be emailed to the customer within 24 hours. If the License Code email is not received within 24 hours - contact Dynon by phone - 425-402-0433 or email - email@example.com and the License Code can be recovered.
Note that when buying SV-MAP-270 directly from Dynon, such as a phone purchase, the customer may request that Dynon sales personnel process the Certificate Code for a License code to expedite the installation of SV-MAP-270 on the customer's SkyView display. At a minimum, the Dynon sales personnel will need to know the type of SkyView display (SV-D700 [7-inch] or SV-D1000 [10-inch]) and the serial number of the SkyView display.
The License Code is installed on a SkyView display: SETUP > LOCAL SCREEN SETUP > LICENSE > LICENSE CODE.
If the License Code is valid for that SkyView display, the "MAP TRIAL MODE - XX HOURS REMAIN" will no longer be displayed OR if the 30 Flight Hour demo was exceeded, map display will again be an option on all SkyView displays.
If the SkyView display with the License Code fails or is removed from the aircraft (disconnected from SkyView Network), a different "30 Flight Hour limit" is activated. Warnings of remaining Flight Hours will commence when 10 Flight Hours remain. If this is an issue, please contact Dynon Technical Support for assistance.
30 flight hour demo
why should i pay When you upgraded to v3.0, the map capability (ability to display navigation and obstruction data - basically, the MAP) is provided in a 30 flight-hour demo only.
If you do like the maps and want to continue to use them on SkyView after the 30 flight-hour demo period, then you must purchase the SV-MAP-270 (http://store.dynonavionics.com/PDGCommTemplates/Header_Footer/certficate.html) and install the resulting six-digit code on one of your SkyView displays.
SV-MAP-270 is a one-time purchase, and it enables map capability on your SkyView forever.
Note that the SV-270-MAP is required (after the 30 flight-hour demo) BEFORE any aviation data is loaded.
In the US, we can provide aviation data for free because the FAA provides it for free. In the rest of the world, the only available source of data we found was Jeppesen. So, in the US, customers can fully evaluate the map capability for free (30 flight-hour demo + free aviation data). In the rest of the world, at least you don't have to pay for the map capability immediately, but you do have to pay at least one time for the Jeppese

Simplicity – One of the most valuable experiences in walking the Camino de Santiago. Here we are given the opportunity to live day to day on a minimum – with only that which we hold on our backs.
Having to carry this weight long distances every day, you quickly learn what is necessary and what is excess.
Few people will open wide enough to let this new found wisdom take root inside of them. As a result, their return will find them with no more than a memory of brushing up against the meaning of life. Eventually even this will fade like the face of an old friend.
There is no doubt that the well trodden path is easier to follow. Everyone will support you because they understand it. They've done it and generations before and after will do the same. There is always a place at that table for you.
Sometime after returning home, there will come a point when you will stand at a crossroad. You will be asked to choose to continue YOUR Camino or to continue on the path you left. The choice and the outcome belong to you.
Although, if we stay where we don't belong, our shadows wil forever chase us when it is we who are called to chase them.
Love & Buen Camino — aneternaltraveler

That was the topic of a program on the Science Channel I watched this weekend. It was a mix of experts talking about the real facts of the situation and a fictional documentation of what the year 2016 will be like. I will flat out state it was really scary and depressing.
This is a subject I have give some thought to, but haven't dwelled on it to any great extent. I have discussed it on this blog several times. But one of the points that was being hammered upon in this show was that America, and all of the world, for that matter, is in serious denial about the situation and is refusing to confront some very unpleasant facts that could greatly alter our society in the years to come. There is no doubt that a finite resource will ultimately run out. You just can't argue with that. The problem is that most people in the country, including our politicians (those wise folks who we have chosen to lead us in difficult times) find it much easier to avoid this and other extremely difficult and unpleasant problems.
Here's the truth of the matter. We are going to have to acknowledge that we are looking at a huge problem, at some time in the future, one that has the potential of causing the collapse of our society. The scarcity and expensive of oil and oil based products could make mass food production very difficult and expensive, if not impossible. Even the food that is grown might not be able to be moved to a central market for mass consumption. And even if that were to occur, many people will be without jobs, as the lack of oil will affect that as well, such that they may find the food that is available unaffordable. All the non-essential jobs and businesses will most likely be gone. The country will start to suffer electrical power outages, as there won't be any fuel to power the trains which haul massive amounts of coal to fire the electrical generation plants. Only nuclear and hydro-powered electrical plants will be able to be counted upon, and those are not enough to furnish the entire country. The only debatable point of this is when the situation will shift from "expensive" and "a nuisance" to "dire".
We are not talking about small disruptions here, such as the oil embargo of the 70's, when gas for the family car (and all other vehicles in the U.S.) became in short supply. Two block long lines of cars waiting to get into the gas stations that had gas might become a fond memory. Unless we do something soon, we could end up with riots and a domino effect on our economy. Given the amount of guns out there in this country and a sizeable portion of our right leaning population that seems rather eager to use them, I am very fearful of what this crisis might actually look like. We are already seeing some signs of what's to come. Venezuela has just cut off imports to Exxon Mobile, Inc., in protest of Exxon Mobile's seize some of Venezuela's oil-based assets. Russia is seriously thinking about cutting off natural gas shipments to the Ukraine. These are not promising signs. They look more like harbingers of further troubles.
Looking at message board for the television show on the Science Channel, it appears that many people still seem to consider anything that deals with future energy shortages or possible environmental changes as something from the "lunatic left". "We aren't running out of oil, we are sitting on a vast reserve in ANWR!" "It's all a liberal plot!" Etc., etc, ad nauseam. I just do not understand our species' ability to flat out ignore self evident truths that are sitting in front of our collective noses. We are dependent upon oil. There is no arguing about that. Oil is a non-renewable resource. That's pretty self evident, too, unless you are talking in the range of millions of years. The combined countries of the world are using more and more oil every single day, especially with China and India transitioning from "developing countries" to "major economic powers". That increases the demand. Significant finds of new oil deposits are few and far between. Saudi Arabia, one of the largest producers in the world and usually looked upon as being the buffer for any possible shortages, hasn't had a major oil discovery since the early 1970's. The remaining finds that being made are in areas that are exponentially difficult to get to, such as in the Bering Sea or the North Sea.
The stock answer for the conservatives in this country is to drill in ANWR. ANWR may have promise as an producing oil field, but some estimates put the total for ANWR as low as a six months supply for the U.S., as current consumption rates. Six months. This is a debatable point, with many people saying that we can't actually tell how much recoverable oil there might be until we actually drill there. That is true enough, but what is also self evident is that, even if the U.S. were to drill there and the available oil from there meets or exceeds our hopes and expectations, it is still a limited resource that will eventually run out. All that drilling in ANWR will do is postpone the inevitable.
The governments of the world need to recognize this coming crisis and the potential for catastrophe that crisis contains. Someone needs to take the lead and start working this problem as soon as possible. Space exploration, as enlightening and inspiring as it is, is a very large drain of national resources that would be better served in an effort to come up with a viable alternative to an oil based energy system upon which the entire world is based. As much as I dislike this prospect, I believe that we need to get busy building more nuclear power plants. Part of this effort must go towards finding an acceptable solution to the waste nuclear products that remain lethal for hundreds of thousands of years. But if we are going to retain any semblance of the society that we have now, the world must have electricity, and on a large scale. Wind farms are good, and more research and actual construction of these farms should be increased. Private residences and businesses should be encouraged, with tax breaks if necessary, to become much more energy efficient than they are now. More effort should be put into finding any sort of viable sources of energy, no matter the source, as long as it isn't oil or coal based.
I realize that I have developed a very selfish and shortsighted viewpoint on this issue, just as I have the possible effects of an environmental catastrophe brought on by global climate change. I am hoping that the worst effects are far enough out in the distance that I won't be personally affected by them. That is a crappy attitude, I know. However, I have very little faith that mankind actually has the will to address these problems. We are mired in the trivial. Our society cares about the latest meltdown from Paris Hilton or Brittney Spears, whether or not a political candidate paid $400 for a haircut. The people in the United States can barely stay awake while the current President and his cronies systematically gut the Constitution that has formed the basis of our government for over 200 years, and make the argument that torturing people really is O.K. now, even if we prosecuted Japanese officers after World War II for the exact same thing that we are doing now. No, this problem will not be addressed before it becomes a crisis. Denial is easy, action is hard.
I feel very badly for my daughter and the rest of the young people who will inherit this mess we are bequeathing on them.

Ascend in Schools
Teachers and counselors use Ascend to support college and career readiness initiatives and social emotional learning (SEL) plans. With Ascend, students are engaged in creating the short and long term goals that build their futures, step by step.
SMART Goals for Bright Futures
Students create SMART goals that align with classroom syllabi, their personal aspirations, or both. Ascend prompts students to think about why they want to work toward their goals and what steps they will take to achieve them to improve critical thinking, self-awareness, self-management, and responsible decision making.
Relationship Building
Communication and Collaboration
Students are encouraged to invite teachers, counselors, coaches, or other mentors to advise and support them in their goal setting. These student advocates can use Ascend to track student goals, follow goal progress, and build deeper connections with students. Students learn relationship building, networking, and social awareness skills as they work with their advocates toward their goals.
College & Career Readiness
Ascend's college and career modules help students discover their strengths, explore career options, and create short term goals that can help them achieve their long term plans, including academic goals, extra-curricular activity goals, volunteering goals, behavioral goals, and more.
What Our Students, Parents, and Educators Say
Ascend inspired me to set goals on things I thought were impossible for me. I raised my GPA 0.6 points- from a 3.4 to a 4.0.
Ascend was easy to use. My son was motivated to do well. I was worried about his grades and his future, and now I know he's going to college.
The student engagement and outcomes have been impressive to witness. We've seen students raise Cs and Ds to As and Bs in a single semester.

Tooth pain can indicate a problem inside your tooth deep within the pulp. At Horizon Family Dental Care, the experienced endodontics team specializes in procedures like root canals which treat the soft tissue inside a damaged or decayed tooth. With convenient locations in Baltimore, Clinton, and Hanover, Maryland, when you need prompt, personalized endodontics treatment, there's a Horizon Family Dental Care near you. Call the office nearest you today to schedule an appointment or book online.
Endodontics is the specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing and treating problems inside a tooth. "Endo" means "inside" and "odont" means tooth in Greek. Endodontics focuses on the inside of your tooth, including the pulp and roots.
One of the most common endodontics procedures is a root canal in which your endodontist treats the soft tissue inside a decayed or damaged tooth for the purpose of saving the tooth. You may also need endodontic treatment if you suffer a trauma to your mouth, to perform surgery, or to place dental implants.
The job of your endodontic specialist at Horizon Family Dental Care is to help save and preserve your natural teeth.
The pulp is the innermost layer of your tooth. It includes living connective tissue and cells and houses the tooth's nerves and blood vessels. If you get an infection inside your tooth, or you suffer trauma, you typically feel intense pain and sensitivity.
Left untreated, infected pulp can cause your tooth to die and require an extraction. The goal of endodontic treatment is to save the tooth, so you don't have to have it pulled.
If you have an infected tooth, you'll most likely suffer painful symptoms, including:
You may even have a bad taste in your mouth and bad breath if your tooth is infected. It's important to seek treatment from one of the experienced endodontists at Horizon Family Dental Care before the infected tooth causes more complicated dental and overall health issues.
Today's endodontic treatment for a tooth that requires a root canal is very similar to getting a routine filling, so there's no need to worry about a painful, traumatic experience. Additionally, the underlying philosophy of Horizon Family Dental Care is to keep you as comfortable as possible during every appointment and procedure, including root canals. Sedation is available to calm your anxieties and help you relax, as well.
During your root canal, your endodontist removes the diseased pulp, nerves, and tissue from inside your tooth. Then, your doctor fills the empty root canal and seals the tooth. The treatment relieves your pain and saves your tooth.
If you need specialized endodontics treatment, don't wait. Call the Horizon Family Dental Care location nearest you, or book online.

2019's Wintersköl transformed the City of Aspen into an interactive art studio and history classroom during the second weekend of January. A massive collaboration between the Aspen Chamber Resort Association, non-profits like Anderson Ranch Arts Center, and Bauhaus 100: Aspen, the weekend featured many long-held Aspen traditions with a timely Bauhaus twist.
This year's Royal Honorees (above) included our own Lissa Ballinger alongside the Aspen Historical Society's Mike Monroney. Also bestowed during the Klanderud Wintersköl Awards Luncheon were Rick Ballentine with the Molly Campbell Service Award, Tom Yoder (Kemosabe) with the Defy Ordinary Award, WE-Cycle with the 2018 Nonprofit of the Year Award, and Limelight Aspen with the 2018 Business of the Year Award. The ceremony was attended by 200 people on Thursday, January 10th at the St. Regis. Attendees of the ceremony received Bauhaus 100: Aspen notebooks from the ACRA in which to record their observations of the next nine months of Bauhaus activities.
Anderson Ranch Arts Center took the reigns from the ACRA following the awards luncheon as Wintersculpt and Kidsculpt plunged the Aspen Pedestrian Mall into a competition of artistic expression by teams of all ages. Inspired by a backdrop of colorful wooden structures designed by Anderson Ranch employees and sponsored by the ACRA, locals took to the snowbanks with chainsaws, gardening tools, wooden spoons, and imagination to free Bauhausian forms hidden within the ice.
While the kids carved 4′ squares of snow, the adults took on 8′ squares, and ultimately the Peak Season team took the prize for their piece entitled Futura, judged by Wintersköl Queen Lissa and Katie Viola of Kissane Viola Design.
The weekend continued with activities hosted by nearly every venue in town. With free public skating at Lewis Ice Arena and a Snowcoming Bonfire at Wagner Park; workshops, exhibitions, and receptions at the Aspen Art Museum and the Aspen Historical Society's Wheeler / Stallard Museum; tours and activities atop Aspen Mountain and Elk Camp; and musical and comedic offerings around town, Aspen was abuzz with learning, entertainment, and a palpable sense of community.
Wintersköl culminated of course with the iconic pyrotechnics display at 8 p.m. on the Little Nell Run, for which the fireworks company provided specially made pattern shells for the production with a "cross-section of the color spectrum and designer shells [to] accentuate" the Bauhaus Centennial theme.
For a more in-depth look at the week's activities, view the ACRA's online schedule here or view the Wintersköl 2019 poster schedule here.

This splendidly illustrated book explores the universal and multifaceted theme of nature as manifested in Western European art of the Middle Ages. Fascinating essays consider the concept in the context of medieval philosophy, theology, and poetry. The masterpieces highlighted here, from the distinguished collection of the Musée de Cluny, span the 12th through the 16th centuries and include an impressive array of objects destined for both religious and secular purposes - from exquisite stained glass and carved capitals to spectacular enameled jewelry, illuminated manuscripts, and woven tapestries.
Art and Nature in the Middle Ages provides an essential understanding of the symbolism and significance of motifs taken from the natural world, as well as the technical mastery of the medieval artisans who produced these remarkable objects.
Nicole R. Myers is the Lillian and James H. Clark Curator of European Painting and Sculpture at the Dallas Museum of Art.

Stop making new year resolutions you never keep or having dreams you are too afraid to pursue. Set more powerful goals, meet mentors, and be brave to try and achieve something 'impossible' in 2017. The $100K Business is an experiment that challenges you to dream bigger and create a business that makes you $100K in one year. Are you brave enough to join and become a part of a community of entrepreneurs who have the same goal?
The $100K Business Challenge
Why join this challenge?
By joining this challenge, you will become a part of a community of like-minded entrepreneurs who will keep you accountable for staying committed to your goals. We are looking for those individuals who have perseverance and are willing to invest their energy and time so that they can achieve results. The challenge is an entrepreneurship experiment and it is FREE to join. However, there is an application process and we are quite selective in deciding who to let in.
Is this challenge for me?
Million dollar ideas are a myth so if you have one in your head kill it. This challenge is for the people who have the courage to try things and who stick to their goals. You can be an employee with a business idea, an entrepreneur with past business projects, a student, or a freelancer who wants to become an entrepreneur – it doesn't matter. What matters most is can you believe it is possible?
Is there an application process?
Yes, we would like to know a little bit about you and your motivation before letting you in the community. Please fill the application by clicking on the 'Join the Challenge' button. The deadline to apply is January 16th.
When does the challenge start and finish?
The challenge will start in January 2017 and it will run for 365 days.
Is there a reward for winning?
While we don't give tangible rewards, imagine yourself having built a $100K or even a $15K business. Winning the challenge 100% or 50% will be the reward that you will give to yourself.
What if I fail?
The fear of failure stops more people from achieving their dreams than failure itself. The very first thing that you will do as part of the community will be to share these fears. We will share our past failure stories, and laugh at them. What are you actually afraid of? Yes, you can fail. Multiple times. Henry Ford failed and went broke five times before he succeeded. As an inventor, Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. When a reporter asked, "How did it feel to fail 1,000 times?" Edison replied, "I didn't fail 1,000 times. The lightbulb was an invention with 1,000 steps." Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor because "he lacked imagination and had no good ideas." He went bankrupt several times before he built Disneyland. In fact, the proposed park was rejected by the city of Anaheim on the grounds that it would only attract riffraff.
What You Get When Becoming A Part of The Community
- Set powerful goals and commit to achieving them
- Upgrade your peer group with powerful mentors and like-minded entrepreneurs
- Weekly accountability calls and skills sharing
- Share knowledge with others who are as experienced or more experienced than you
- Create new friendships and do the 'impossible'

In this awesome series by artist Peter Stults he explores how popular modern films like Gravity and American Hustle would look if they had been made in the 50's with actors and actresses that were popular back then. He's pulled it off very well, if you didn't know any better you would think these were films from the 50's.

OHIP card and doctor signed requisition required for your appointment.
Partners In Pathology
FlowLabs helps you by delivering the most thorough test results in the shortest amount of time. We adhere to best practices and utilize the most current tests and technologies available.
Semen Collection Instructions
FlowLabs has private, on-site collection rooms specifically designed for your comfort for collection of semen samples. Collecting at our facility limits the exposure of the sample to outside contaminates, temperature fluctuations, and controls the time between collection and analysis. A sample may be collected off-site in some circumstances if it can be delivered to the laboratory in an acceptable sterile container within 1 hour of collection. If your physician did not provide a specimen container you may obtain one at FlowLabs. Please call or e-mail the laboratory to arrange collection off-site.
Semen analysis requires an appointment. Remember to have your OHIP card and completed laboratory requisition form with you when you come to the laboratory. For clients without OHIP coverage payment in full is required on the day of your appointment.
We ask that you abstain from any form of ejaculation for 2 to 5 days before a semen collection.
Collection instructions:
- The sample container will need to be labelled with your name and date of birth prior to collection. The container label will be verified by you with one of the laboratory staff. If you are bringing the sample from home the container label will need to be verified prior to acceptance of the sample by the laboratory staff.
- The semen sample should be collected only after you have washed your hands and penis with soap and water, being sure to rinse away all of the soap residue. Dry thoroughly before collecting the sample.
- The sample should be collected by masturbation directly into a sterile, clean and dry container provided by our laboratory or your physician.
- Lubricants should not be used to aid in the collection as they may be toxic to sperm.
- Condoms should not be used for semen collection because they contain agents that kill sperm. If you need to collect a sample by intercourse, you can purchase non-toxic condoms from our laboratory and use them for sample collection. If you collect a sample in this type of condom, drop the whole condom into one of our sterile containers and bring it to the laboratory.
- Interrupted intercourse should not be performed for specimen collection as this may result in the loss of the most critical first portion of the ejaculate and the specimen may be contaminated with cells or bacteria from the vagina.
- Be sure the entire sample gets directly into the container and screw the lid of the container on tightly.
- Write the time of collection on the container label.
- If a portion of the sample was lost during collection, please indicate this to the laboratory staff who takes your sample.
- If you have collected the sample off-site the container should be kept close to the body and not be subjected to temperature extremes (less than 20oC or more than 37oC). The specimen should be brought to the laboratory within one hour of collection.
- Leave the sample in the collection room pass through or at the registration window.
- Laboratory personnel will collect the specimen and paperwork
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to ask the laboratory staff on the day of your appointment or call our office with any concerns before the day of your appointment. Our phone number is (905) 404-5454. You may also email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I was hired as a freelancer to build a custom PHP job application form for users to submit applications online. The client needed the a online HTML form to look as close as possible to the paper version of the job application so it could be printed. The HTML form created was similar to their paper job application form. The form was processed with PHP on a secure server. Upon submission, the form data was inserted into a MySQL database and email notification of a new application submitted was sent to my client.
Applications were submitted from this one form for multiple cities. Based on the location chosen by the person applying for a job, different staff would receive email notification of the job application, prompting them to log into an admin tools to securely view the application data.
Password protected admin tools were coded to view the submitted form data. Over time many features have been added to this online job application form.
- Multiple staff users can access the admin tools. Staff can only see applications submitted for their location.
- Ability to view all details of each job submission
- Ability to add notes about the application
- Ability to flag the job application once it was processed.
- Option to view all forms that had or had not been processed
- Filter by locations
- A database maintenance script was written. It runs once a week to clean out old applications because the database had grown so large.
Contact me if you would like an estimate to hire a PHP freelancer.

Mindfulness meditation
Mindfulness is that state in which you are aware of what is currently happening. It is simply living today – leaving behind unpleasant things that have already happened without worrying about what the future might hold. Mindfulness meditation, used as a therapeutic technique, is when our mind accepts all our bodily sensations in a calming way.More

The grease trap at your home is an essential part of your sewer system and a main component in keeping it clean and healthy. Installed between the kitchen sink and the sewer line, these miracle workers catch fat and oils and prevent them from clogging the pipeline. Grease traps are good for the environment and your wallet, because they help you avoid costly and detrimental plumbing issues that arise from excess buildup. Because they work so hard, eventually, all grease traps need maintenance. At Roberts Plumbing, we can repair and refurbish your grease trap in just a few hours.
Our expertly trained technicians will discern if the plumbing issue is due to a dilapidated grease trap. If it is, the surface area will be thoroughly cleaned and prep for repair. Grease trap refurbishing is a trenchless method, meaning Roberts Plumbing plumbers do not need to damage the infrastructure around the pipeline to perform the repair.
After the trap is cleaned, we measure the inner surface to determine which areas are in need of replacement. Pieces are cut to fit and then affixed inside the trap. Finally, we coat the entire grease trap with an epoxy resin that is chemical-resistant and anti-corrosive. The resin takes approximately three to four hours to cure and will leave your trap functioning better than ever. We provide you with a brand new grease trap, without the hassle and mess of removing parts and manually replacing them.
Refurbishing the grease trap at your home or business means you don't need to shut down operations or make adjustments to your personal schedule to accommodate the repair, because it is quick, simple, and takes place internally. Unlike other plumbers who still use traditional repair and replacement methods, Roberts Plumbing technicians specialize in trenchless repairs for the convenience of our clients. This means no digging or noisy jackhammering, no mess, and less stress. Our technicians will be in and out within a few hours.
Refurbishing with epoxy resin leaves the trap sealed with a tough material that does not corrode and stands up to even the toughest of buildup. Epoxy resin lasts for fifty years or more, so you will enjoy decades before the grease trap needs to be repaired again. Even better, it has a high chemical resistance and is safe for the environment. We are so confident in this method, we provide a five year warranty on any grease trap refurbishing service.
With more than 25 years of experience and a commitment to excellence, Roberts Plumbing delivers professional service and lasting repairs. If your grease trap is acting up, or your sewer line is clogging, call us today for a free estimate. We will send an expert out to your property at your convenience to assess the source of the issue and recommend a solution, so you can start enjoying smooth-flowing plumbing again as soon as possible.

Home > Resources > Newsletters > Mercy Philadelphia Newsletter > Q&A: Diet can help ease IBS symptoms
Published on March 16, 2017
It's a cluster of unpleasant symptoms that affect the colon. No one knows exactly what causes IBS. But we do know that diet can ease—or worsen—symptoms.
Michelle Brown, RD, CDE, Clinical Nutrition Manager at Mercy Philadelphia, answers some questions about diet and IBS.
Symptoms can include diarrhea, constipation or episodes of both. People also often have bloating and gas, mucus in their stools, and pain in the lower belly. You should call your doctor if you have any of these symptoms for three months or more.
Try switching over to five or six small meals a day. Drink six to eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily. If constipation is a problem, eat more fiber—like whole grains and fresh fruits and vegetables. If you have diarrhea, you may want to choose foods with less fiber.
I'd suggest limiting chocolate and acidic foods, like tomatoes. Also limit foods that are very spicy, such as hot sauce, and foods that are greasy or fried. You should also start keeping a list of foods that give you problems when you eat them.
Yes. A dietitian could help you plan meals and make gradual changes to your eating habits.

Meet the founder behind THE private member's family dream club!01/07/2016
School summer holidays are just around the corner. With this in mind, we met with Maggie Bolger, one of the founders of Maggie & Rose, THE original Family Member's Club.
Founded in 2007, the Clubs aim to provide a 'home away from home' environment that can be equally enjoyed by children and grown-ups alike. Maggie & Rose like to think of themselves as a one stop destination – a place where you can spend an entire day enjoying a meal with friends, burning off energy in the soft play or terrace areas, and being inspired in their industry leading classes covering cooking, art, music and dance.
They provide a new style of family life, the perfect base in which to create memories that will last a lifetime.
How did the idea for Maggie & Rose come about?
I had 3 children in quick succession and I suddenly realised that everywhere I was taking them for activities was lacking in inspiration - in décor, in the activities and in parental satisfaction! I quickly decided to change that for myself. I conducted classes in a local studio, which led to me meeting Rose and coming up with the idea for the Club. We knew we wanted a place to enjoy family time together, something that appealed to both parents and children. Everything has traditionally been aimed solely at kids, with very little thought put into the experience – plastic play areas which give most grown–ups a headache. We set out to create a calm and creative space that everyone loves coming to.
What makes the Maggie & Rose offering so unique?
I think its because we do cater for both kids and parents, and that is still a scarcity to this day. Every detail – from the décor to the food to the class structures, are all tailored to make both age groups feel involved and satisfied with our offerings. We love that parents can enjoy a prosecco whilst kids make new friends!
What is the brand's greatest achievement to date?
Expansion from 1 club to 3 in 9 years! I knew we had found a niche back when we opened Kensington, I just never imagined that the word would spread globally. Members moved on and wherever they went all we heard was "we need you in our lives over here in East London/Sydney/Hong Kong!"
What is the next step for the brand?
We have so many ideas for where we would like to take the brand – definitely more clubs are on the horizon, we have also designed a furniture range and are looking into other design aspects including paints and wallpaper! We like to keep busy!
Finally, maggie has four kids, runs a hugely successful business and yet still manages to look sensational. What are Maggie's beauty and style routine/secrets? I have to have a quick and simple routine really! Cleanse, splash on moisturiser, tinted moisturiser or BB cream and mascara and lipgloss. As I am getting older products that work really do matter…I use cowshed and bare minerals as my go-to for pretty much everything as they are all natural and work with my skin. Body tips - a good epilady is essential for when you can't get to a salon for a wax! And a good fake tan is a must for cellulite coverage and general body pick me up

Equality Scheme
The Equality Act was introduced to make UK organisations (especially public authorities such as Universities) more transparent as well as try to harmonise the various current equality strands into one single piece of legislation.
The Act proposed a general public equality duty on public authorities. Universities, as well as the funding councils, are subject to this duty. It replaced the three existing duties (relating to race, gender, disability) with a single duty covering the protected characteristics of race, sex, pregnancy and maternity, gender reassignment, disability, age, sexual orientation and religion or belief.
The duty requires HEIs to have due regard to the need to:
- Eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation.
- Advance equality of opportunity between persons who share a protected characteristic and persons who do not share it.
- Foster good relations between persons who share a protected characteristic and persons who do not share it.
Equality Objectives and Action Plan
The RVC implemented its first Single Equality Scheme in 2010/11 as a mechanism to ensure equality, diversity and inclusion were at the heart of all RVC activities.
The Equality Action Plan builds on the work undertaken since 2010/11 and replaces our single scheme which will help us to further our commitment to equality and diversity through the development of a key equality objectives (covering the period 2015 to 2019). The objectives listed have been developed by using local drivers, evidence from base data collection and analysis and information attained from staff and students through the 2014 'Equality at RVC' survey.
Progress against the objectives will be managed by the Equality and Diversity Committee (EDC) and reported to the College Executive Committee (CEC) on an annual basis through the annual Equal Opportunities Monitoring report, with a review of the objectives at two year point to ensure they are still for purpose.
Progress update of Equality and Diversity Objectives and Action Plan 2015-2019

The College has developed the following Equality Policies:


text: Jorge's Testimonial:Before Green City Force I was sitting at home doing nothing. I had just finished graduating High School and didn't know what to do with my life. So for me, GCF was a guide, a path to a future, and my light at the end of the tunnel. GCF has given me so many opportunities and a career path that I am excited to follow. I chose to become a Corps Member because I felt that I could better myself through GCF, while at the same time doing something that is helpful to not only my community but also my city and the individuals who live in it. After GCF, I plan on going to college for business and getting my MBA so that I can start my own business. That idea of becoming an entrepreneur was planted in my head by GCF because they believe that we all should pursue any ideas we might have with confidence. For all that they have done and what they have yet to do, I want to thank the entire GCF staff, for they have all helped me in different ways. I also want to thank my fellow Corps Members for taking this journey with me and being there when I needed them.

IGTV is a vertical video platform from Instagram to go against YouTube
Instagram is trying to bring a whole new concept to the world of video sharing platforms with its so-called IGTV network. It aims to work just like regular TV but with vertical videos.
The Android app is already available on Google Play and it's gaining traction while Instagram has already reached 1 billion users, so we can assume it's going to be a hit very soon. The difference between Instagram and IGTV, however, is that the latter pushes vertical videos only and can last up to an hour. This is probably because it's going to be used only on smartphones.
The UI is very streamlined and there's not much you can do aside from browsing videos. There are only a few categories - For You, Following, Popular and Continue Watching. You can still like, share and comment on videos, just like on YouTube, but it keeps a slightly different concept with the vertical video thing and the hour-long limit.
It's free and you can start recording videos by yourself right away, just download it from Google Play and register an account.

Tonight marks the start of Passover, celebrating the Jewish exodus from slavery into freedom. In 1969, on the first anniversary of the death of Dr. Martin Luther King, people of many colors and faiths gathered in a black church in D.C. to celebrate the first Freedom Seder and King's legacy of intertwining the ancient story of the Jews with that of African-Americans and others fighting for liberation - today, more relevant than ever.
"Let those who are needy celebrate the Passover ... This year we are slaves – next year may we be free." - the Haggadah.

text: Run Hard, Run FastWhy is running on the sidewalk easier than on the road? Is it softer? Actually it's just the opposite: Concrete's harder than asphalt, so the sidewalk gives you more bounce as you push off. But bouncier isn't always better. Over time, it increases the risk of injury to your muscles and joints, says Edward R. Laskowski, M.D. of the Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine Center. "Run on grass or cinder surfaces. The more you mix it up, the less risk of overloading your muscles and bones."

Achieving the fastest rating is relative when chip makers can always crank up clock speed a notch.
The 300-MHz Pentium II may be just another step up the clock speed ladder for Intel Corp. But the dual-processor WorkStation 400 from Dell Computer Corp. cranks up speed in less obvious ways.
The GCNdex32TM benchmark scores hint at the raw power and response you get when using the new Dell PC. A 16M GLoria L/MX video card from Elsa Inc. of San Jose, Calif., delivers fast 3-D graphics for imaging and computer-aided design work.
The GCN Lab staff found that one 3-D rendering application running under the OpenGL graphics standard could produce full-screen XGA output at an average of 150 frames per second. That's a heck of an improvement over a standard 8M two-dimensional card on a high-end PC, which could output only about six frames per second.
The Elsa card with 8M video RAM and 8M extended data out RAM earned a respectable 17.74 on the GCNdex32 2-D performance test. The lab's highest scores for 2-D cards have run around 22. Average cards score between 6 and 10.
In 2-D rendering with Adobe Systems Inc. Photoshop, the WorkStation 400 could apply a Gaussian blur filter to a 100M TIFF image in 49 seconds. On a 200-MHz Pentium PC, applying that same filter took three minutes.
The Elsa card lets you specify the application you want to optimize. The optimization list, which appears with a click on the task bar, includes two dozen apps such as Computer Associates International Inc.'s CA-Unicenter, Autodesk Inc.'s AutoCAD and Bentley Systems Inc.'s MicroStation 95.
Dell also offers high-end Matrox Millennium 2-D graphics cards from Matrox Graphics Inc. of Dorval, Quebec, which cost less than the Elsa card and would be preferable for developers or database crunchers who need processing rather than rendering power. A separate video card from Dell can run two monitors from the WorkStation simultaneously.
The Ultra-Wide SCSI hard drive performance wasn't as optimized as I expected, compared with an Enhanced IDE drive. The 4G drive was split into two 2G partitions and formatted to a 16-bit File Allocation Table rather than the 32-bit Microsoft Windows NT File System, which might have boosted drive performance.
But again, to judge performance you simply have to sit in front of this workhorse and watch it perform like a thoroughbred.
The Seagate Technology Inc. Barracuda SCSI hard drive, like those in Compaq Computer Corp.'s top-of-the-line Deskpros, made a high-pitched whining noise. I found it mildly irritating, but some lab staff members could not hear it.
The Dell CD-ROM drive's speed varied between 12X and 24X, and its GCNdex score reached 26X, thanks to the SCSI backbone.
Dell has put the WorkStation 400 components inside its standard OptiPlex desktop chassis, which is easy to open and is recyclable. Or you can order a minitower chassis with the same features.
The interior, though crammed with components, was logically organized. The two Pentium II processors took up a huge chunk of room with their mammoth heat sinks and a molding to direct the cooling fan's air flow.
The card cage lifted out easily. The Elsa card and Ultra-Wide SCSI cards occupied two of five PCI slots, two of which were also shared ISA. Two drive bays--one 514-inch external, one 312-inch internal--are vacant for expansion. There were integrated Fast Ethernet and sound connections as well as two Universal Serial Bus ports.
Priced at around $8,000, the WorkStation 400 seems costly for a PC but can hold its own against $20,000 Unix workstations. And users won't need separate systems to access common office applications.

When you are writing your book in plain text on Leanpub, you may find that the way floating images and text work together is not always working perfectly. In fact, sometimes it doesn't really work at all. This is something we may address in Markua at some point.
Our general policy at Leanpub r.e. floating images is that they aren't really all that well-suited to ebooks that are produced in multiple formats from a single source manuscript, and that are going to be read on a variety of devices, where people can change fonts and font sizes.
We have an InDesign export option for making books look super nice once an author is done writing their book, and we have a "Bring Your Own Book" mode people can use to upload super-nicely formatted files for sale on Leanpub.
If you really want to curate your book with floating images, you can use a little hack to insert blank lines that can clean things up a bit. You can create blank lines by essentially adding single cell tables, by putting two pipes with a space between them | | on a line by themselves.
If you do this:
| |
In between paragraphs and images etc., you might be able to get the floating images to work better.

The Chat With Gregory Scofield
For our first Chat of 2017, we turn to poetry and consider the themes of witnessing and reconciliation. I'm in conversation with 2016 Writers' Trust of Canada Latner Poetry Prize winner Gregory Scofield, whose most recent collection, Witness, I Am, explores the lives and stories of some of Canada's Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.
The Latner jury wrote, in part, "For seven collections of poetry, Gregory Scofield has impressed us with his memorable lyrics and keen eye for the finer details. His forms embrace the musical, the documentary, and the experimental in a vision of risk and generosity ... He has courage to let us in, and the patience to help us understand."
Gregory Scofield is Red River Métis of Cree, Scottish and European descent whose ancestry can be traced to the fur trade and to the Métis community of Kinesota, Manitoba. He has taught First Nations and Métis Literature and Creative Writing at Brandon University, Emily Carr University of Art + Design, and the Alberta College of Art + Design. He currently holds the position of Assistant Professor in English at Laurentian University where he teaches Creative Writing. Scofield won the Dorothy Livesay Poetry Prize in 1994 for his debut collection, The Gathering: Stones for the Medicine Wheel. In addition to several volumes of poetry, he is the author of the memoir, Thunder Through My Veins (1999).
Trevor Corkum: Your newest collection is called Witness, I Am. What does it mean for you to act or serve as a witness? Why is the act of bearing witness important?
Gregory Scofield: The act of witnessing, for me, is a sacred act. It involves the ceremony of our eyes and ears, the ceremony of connecting to what is in front of you. This act of witnessing can be both painful and magical, but I believe it's through this ceremony we are led to new understandings within ourselves. We learn to move our minds and bones differently.
The act of bearing witness, as I mentioned, is highly important because it enables us to connect with the things we find incomprehensible and fearful, yet it enables us to connect with the things we find comforting and familiar.
TC: In many of the poems, you explore the lives and stories of Indigenous women who are missing or murdered. Why did you decide to tell these stories?
GS: This particular collection deals with the issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women as a means of advocacy, but also as a means of healing for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous readers. I come to the issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women from a personal place. In 1998, I lost my Aunty to violence. Her murderer was never brought to justice nor was her homicide investigated appropriately.
in 1998, I lost my Aunty to violence. Her murderer was never brought to justice nor was her homicide investigated appropriately."
Since then I've used my voice as a poet and educator to bring awareness to this issue. I also continue to use social media such as Twitter to bring awareness to MMIW by posting the name and photograph of a missing or stolen sister each day.
TC: The poems are visceral, deeply personal. In "Hospital Dream", for example, you write:
I'm here to collect what's left of your bones.
But he is also here, the collector
to break what's left of the good ones.
I cannot make a net to catch you.
I can only swim to witness your unravelling,
a child without clothes on.
There's a heartbreaking sense of a child's deep love for his mother, the emotional turmoil of witnessing her pain, the helplessness that he "cannot swim fast enough" to save her. In what ways does writing provide a personal place of healing for you?
GS: Writing and in particular poetry has always provided a space for my healing. In fact, I've used writing as a way to connect with the things I mentioned in the first question. The amazing thing about literature and art is that is provides a space for us to explore ourselves more deeply. It allows us to enter into ceremony with our unconsciousness and the darkness we are so often afraid of.
[Art] allows us to enter into ceremony with our unconsciousness and the darkness we are so often afraid of."
TC: The collection has received strong and well-deserved national coverage. You've been interviewed by Shelagh Rogers on The Next Chapter. CBC also released a reading of the poem "She Is Spitting a Mouthful of Stars"—the poem you read when you received the Latner Award for Poetry at this year's Writer's Trust Awards—and it has been widely shared. What does this type of recognition mean for you at this point in your career, especially with regards to this collection?
GS: The recognition the new collection has received is extremely humbling and gratifying. I'm so pleased that readers are connecting with the issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. I've always maintained (and have often said publicly) this is NOT just an Indigenous issue. This is an issue that affects us all. We must all be responsible in finding ways to heal the traumatic effects of colonization and forced assimilation.
Acknowledgement, of course, is the first step in addressing the issue of MMIW. As Indigenous people we must also look within our own communities and the healing work that needs to be done.
TC: The federal government has recently launched a National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. The inquiry's mission is guided by three goals: finding the truth, honouring the truth, and giving life to the truth as a path to healing. From your perspective, how do we appropriately honour those who have been lost, and give life to the truth of these losses? What steps need to be taken, collectively and individually, to achieve true reconciliation in Canada?
GS: I'm cautiously optimistic the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls will be productive and life-changing for Indigenous women and girls. My hope, of course, is that the findings will be constructively managed into workable outcomes. In the meantime, there are many artists doing work to honour the lives and stories of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.
For example, I am on the national committee of Walking With Our Sisters, a travelling memorial exhibit of over 1800 moccasin vamps that honour the lives of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls. This memorial provides both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people the opportunity to honour these women in a ceremonial and healing way.
In regard to collective and individual steps needed to achieve true reconciliation in Canada, I strongly believe knowledge is power. We must present a true and accurate history of Indigenous people and our history of colonization, to young people in elementary and post-secondary education. We must also support efforts to help indigenous communities become healthy and prosperous. This includes everything from on reserve infrastructure to clean drinking water. There are still a number of communities in Canada living under boiled water advisories. In 2017, this is unacceptable. We must also support communities in traditional ways of justice and healing.
There are still a number of communities in Canada living under boiled water advisories. In 2017, this is unacceptable."
She Is Spitting a Mouthful of Stars
(nikâwi's Song)
She is spitting a mouthful of stars
She is laughing more than the men who beat her
She is ten horses breaking open the day
She is new to her bones
She is holy in the dust
She is spitting a mouthful of stars
She is singing louder than the men who raped her
She is waking beyond the Milky Way
She is new to her breath
She is sacred in this breathing
She is spitting a mouthful of stars
She is holding the light more than those who despised her
She is folding clouds in her movement
She is new to this sound
She is unbroken flesh
She is spitting a mouthful of stars
She is laughing more than those who shamed her
She is ten horses breaking open the day
She is new to these bones
She is holy in their dust
