Pioneering Period
Establishment of the Teachers' Training PGRI MADIUN not be separated from the history of the college in Madiun. In the 1960s , Malang State Teacher Training Institute opened a branch in Madiun , known as the Teachers' Training College of Malang Branch Madiun. Malang Teachers' Training Branch Madiun is developing quite well, but because there is something in 1968 closed. The professor there who returned to Malang No vote remains in Madiun.
Malang State Teacher Training Institute lecturers who remain in Madiun initiative to establish a college in Madiun, namely Drs. MUdjiono and Drs. R. Soekarman. To make it happen, he both socializing and approaches to community leaders and local government officials.

The number of students for the first year there were 76 students from Madison and surrounding areas. In the implementation of the lecture using the schools in the municipality of Madiun and lecture done in the afternoon . This was done because the Madiun Regional Teachers' Training College and the building does not have sarananyapun still limited . So where lecture moved around depending on the schools that wanted to have cooperation. Schools were first used ie SMP Negeri 6 then moves in SMA Negeri 3 which is now used by SMP Negeri 2 , Building the library is now becoming Plaza queen.
Another problem faced by the Regional Teachers' Training College Madiun , namely the limited development funds , shortage of teachers and administration , yet have adequate lecture building , and have not received a clear status. Thanks to the hard work and compactness of the managers and help local governments and schools, the Regional Teachers' Training College Madiun can survive.
As a university, the status is to be held as a symbol of legality will powers, rights and obligations so that people give credence to the agency. This is in line with the policy of the Government of the Republic of Indonesia which stated that private universities that already have registered status are allowed to hold the lecture itself . While the majors country under similar test with recognized status or identified . For that YAPPERTIM struggled to gain status . One of the efforts that integrate themselves with Sarmidi Mangunsarkoro Teachers 'Training College based in Malang and the name changed to Sarmidi Mangunsarkoro Teachers' Training College ( 1974 ) and as leaders : Rector Drs . Mujiono , Rector II R. Soekarman , and Rector III Drs . Soeparno
Teachers 'Training College Sarmidi Mangunsarkoro efforts have not produced the expected status and subsequently the Regional Teachers' Training College have its Madiun to Surabaya State Teacher Training Institute, particularly in the implementation of the state exam.

Exclamation Points
Especially in text messages! Sometimes I just text people a message full of exclamation points!
Missions Class
The Dyers didn't go into the mission field until they were in their mid 40's, breaking all the rules of missionary etiquette. Bro Jack was an engineer and a pilot which God used to strategically place them in Honduras and then in India to spread the love of Jesus in some of the hardest environments.
He spoke about the call to missions God placed on His life and how important it is to know that God has called you. It is difficult for us to "know we are called" when it is rarely an audible voice form the heavens saying, "Heather pack your bags you are going to Peru." I really learned a lot about how to decipher the call on my life by looking at my past. Because God's plan for my life was written before the foundations of the earth; so he has been preparing me for this since the beginning. If I can look at my past though God's eyes I should be able to see how he has been preparing me for my future. What am I passionate about? What skills has he developed in me? What drives me? What makes me angry? These are all things God has put in me for a reason, and with God's direction I can begin to discover what they mean for my future. This is the time in my life when God has promised to prepare me for my future.
Bro Jack also said that he didn't create opportunities or relationships or try to manipulate his path. He served God and God created the way. God formed the right relationships. All Bro. Jack had to do was be available.
If you are praying for me please pray that I will have God's perspective when I look at my past and the wisdom to apply what I see to my future. I want to be guided by the Lord and not by my own ideas. Pray that I will be available for the Lord to use me and that I will prepare myself so that I will be ready when God's time comes.
Long Time No Blog
The Healing Place Women's Conference, Live the Dream, is this weekend!! We have all been praying over this conference and fasting for an unbelievable time with God. There will be over 1200 women during the 3 days and we expect God to move in an awesome way.
All the Elevate interns have been working hard to help make this the best conference ever. We have made give-away bags, decorated chairs, cleaned, made signs, and anything else we were entrusted with! But of course having fun is one of the unspoken rules of Elevate so here are a few pics of us having fun in the children's church dress up bin...
On Friday we worked at the LSU vs Auburn game to raise money for our missions trip! I know all of you watched the game, right, and it was pretty stressful up until the very end. But we all know God is a LSU Tiger fan so we prevailed again! Here are a few pics from our concessions stand during the game!

HP Women
She used Daniel as an example and pointed out 7 things that showed he had the spirit of excellence:
1) ho would not defile himself but remained holy even when threatened
2) he was faithful to God
3) he had a strong prayer life
4)he was thankful to God
5) he had the fear of the Lord
6)he lived a life that caused others to worship and know God
7) then he prospered
I am so often critical of others. I so often get offended and ask "what about me?"She said one thing that I will carry with me for a long time, and I think every woman should wrte this down and keep it where they can see it..."The attitude is the paintbrush of the mind, it can color any situation."
I want my attitude to paint life. When I am faced with a tough situation and I have chance to either complain or be thankful i want to fall on my face and thank God for the opportunity to trust him and to build within me the spirit of excellence!

Angela is a second year full time Elevate student and is hard to contain because she is full of passion to make Jesus famous. She is bold and outright blunt about making sure His name is known. She is an Esther of this generation – determined to grab hold of her "for such a time as this" moment and will persevere through anything to make it happen. She can lead anyone into an intimate time of worship, and knows how to serve it up in the inner city. She is determined to go into the depths of the world to fulfill what God has called her to do.

Make sure to thank Jordan for all that he does.
Oct 10, 2007
It seems like He always answers the prayers for trials and testing a lot faster than He answers the ones for blessing! Funny guy...a friend pointed me to a few verses in Lamentations to help me out:
I definitely feel like I am lamenting right now; I looked it up and it means "wailing, moaning, and weeping." But if I in the book of the bible with that name...buried there after the cries of Jerusalem, a city who was so low it is likened to a woman that was so full of shame... all she could do was cry and hide her face, there is the story of God's faithfulness...
Lamentations 2:22-26
The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease.
Great is His faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.
I say to myself, "The Lord in my inheritance; therefore I will hope in Him!"
The Lord is good to those who depend on Him, to those who search for Him.
So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the Lord.
I need fresh mercy today. I need a love that never ends. I need to be reminded of my inheritance. I need to hope in Him.
But most of all I need to depend on Him, and that is so hard for me to do. I don't know why, so if you are praying for me pray this: Father, hold Heather in your hand and pour your mercy over her. Let her experience your never ending love. Remind her of her inheritance in Jesus Christ. Give her peace because you have good plans for her that are full of hope. Reveal to her anything that she may be holding on to that is keeping her from depending on you. Show her how to release these things so she can fully embrace the future you have for her and rest in your arms.
Vision Night
Hey we are having a Sports Themed Vision Night @ Healing Place Church on Highland this Sunday at 7pm!!! This is a great opportunity to se what God's vision for HPC's future is. I can't wait, I didn't get to go last year because of work so I am pumped!!!

God Tube
Many of you may know about YouTube, a website where anyone can upload any kind of video and the whole world can look at it. I have found this website called GodTube, which is pretty much the same thing but a little cleaner. You can search for all kinds of videos on all kinds of topics.
Because I don't have a lot of time to do pleasure reading anymore (I am doing tons of great required reading though) I have started watching these videos when I get a few spare minutes. They are quick, most of the time, and they are either touching, inspiring, funny or passion filled.
So I am sharing some of the ones I really like with you guys. They have either made me cry like a little girl, made me choke on my coffee because they were so funny or convicted me so hard I had to press pause and repent right there at my desk.
This one is the funny kind; A Mac Vs PC Parody with Fear Vs Faith...enjoy

It was really awesome to be able to speak to ~40 freshman about setting goals and defining the "win" for themselves. I wanted to share with them some of the struggles I have faced while training for the 5k we will run in April.
There were 4 principles I left them with:
- Don't compare your race to someone else's - God made you for a specific purpose
- You might have to run the race alone - Sometimes you have to say no when everyone else is saying yes
- Sometimes it's not fun - You have to sacrifice to accomplish anything significant
- Set your goal and stay focused - setting smaller goals may help build your confidence and stay focused on the way to the "big win"

The reason and many other incidents that may apply to you, but it's a poor credit report before applying for insurance through your employer or a fraction of an accident and attach to it, or you'll be rewarded with lower premiums.

During the request on the part of the premium and even college-bound students are statistically less likely to pay and what you're ready to negotiate a new driver, a does not mean that company is. I get several companies offering affordable auto iPolicy is fast and efficient.

If you buy your insurance is by using online resources to fulfill their part of that, because you want to spend more are joining are now able to that being said below is the claims of professional negligence and malpractice, among other things.

The truth is very easy to avail yourself of the rental car coverage on deductibles from your job, could you use an accident or a new technology because of the different insurance companies offer because the value of your credit file is looked at. But, there are trucks full of anxiety and therefore can easily be understood. Educate yourself from different companies that provide automated tools. One of the hungriest and sharpest local agents in the act has been in the presence of mind in the first place. Despite the variety of insurances offered by companies that offer insurance. On the doctors.

As one of my friends who does lots of tech support says: "Bluetooth is of the devil!" You can use that same phrase for lots of technical things. Shocking to see such a device that can be used in many office settings that normal people would never give a second glance.
Clive Robinson • January 14, 2015 8:12 AM
I very much doubt it can be built by individuals for the $10 El Reg indicates in it's title.
Whilst it would be possible in mass produced items in China and the like, are people going to pay for the required production run of around 100,000 units to get that pricing?
However we have seen some house hold white goods made in China having WiFi devices secreted in them. So yes it's possible that a State Level organisation could do something similar...
Thoth • January 14, 2015 8:20 AM
Well, it definitely shows the weakness of RF devices when you could simply sniff and pick data up (especially keyboard and mouse over bluetooth).

How do you test a wall charger for the Key Sweeper?
Coyne Tibbets • January 14, 2015 9:03 AM
(Assuming a real clandestine sweeper.)
Break the charger open. If it has "too much" electronics in it, it's probably a sweeper.
Of course, if it turns out to be a real charger you probably can't put it back together to make it usable again. But that's the only way to be sure.
Braben • January 14, 2015 10:01 AM
Precisely why I don't use wireless keyboards. Note, though, that Microsoft keyboards don't use Bluetooth, but a proprietary radio protocol. But that doesn't mean Bluetooth can't be decrypted as well.

This seems like another ideal opportunity for covert infiltration. Just 'drop' one of these in the employee parking lot of your target and someone is bound to pick it up and take it into the building for you. The same tactic used to work for a thumbdrive with malware / keyloggers on it.

Looking at the wireless keaboards implicated 2/17 advertise bluetooth and none the AES encryption that was supposed to take this vector out in 2011, XORing against a constant is not encryption.

--Lol, yeah I hope so, lest they be outdone by some random hackers on a fraction of a fraction of their budget...surely that's never happened before :p . This isn't even like that far out of the ballpark, it should be added to Michael Ossman's "NSA Playset", where he basically does a lot of the "sophisticated spygear" w/ normal pentesting tools available to most everyone. Still a great hack, w/ the features and getting it all in a nice form factor.

What fun we could have with this and a little mini-drone that hovers outside the office building.
Nile • January 15, 2015 9:57 AM
The car-park trick might work, but access to the building is always better.
Leave the charger plugged in at a colleague's desk while he or she is on vacation, and some b**** is sure to nick it.
This trick would probably work at nearby coffee shops: 'forget' to unplug your charger often enough, and one of the devices will be taken into the target building.
I wonder what other commonplace devices could be 'in play'? I don't think that cheap headphones could host malware; but do, please, feel free to contradict me if you know more than I do.
The and mic-and-headphone hands-free Bluetooth headsets I see around me in the office are an obvious target, and I find it surprising that no-one's implemented a secure hardware ID and 'handshake' for these devices.

Don't most hardware keyloggers have to be physically retrieved to get the data off them?

Random832: "Don't most hardware keyloggers have to be physically retrieved to get the data off them?"
Keysweeper, featured here by Bruce, has a SIM card slot, and texts back the data.
When unplugged, the LED goes off. But Keysweeper switches nonetheless to its internal battery.
@CatMat: "in 2011"
The targetted keyboard had "july 2014" in its serial number.

I have never understood the long standing jokes about the Father's Day presents of ties and how they are a horrid gift. I don't get it. I love them. …and I'm not even a father, nor ever will be.
I hate shopping. I'm a bad gay man that way. I'd rather do anything than go clothes shopping. If I need a suit, I buy five. If I need a pair of shoes, I buy three or four. Anything to not to have to return to a store.
But each time I am at one of these stores, I look at their ties. Even in my last job when I only needed them for travel and not everyday wear, I'd look and I'd sometimes buy.
Here is a sampling of just some of my ties.
I know I am in the minority with this, but I was not a fan of the casual work environment. I missed not wearing a suit and tie daily to work. And now I'm back at it. Score!
I could seemingly never pull off the casual look that well. It seemed wrong. I'd chuckle at the men-folk in the office who had to wear ties to meetings and could not wait to take them off at first chance.
So, I'm back in my element. Suits. Shined Shoes. And ties. In theory I don't have wear the same one for 3-4 months. But let's face it, some of them are hold-overs that I just can't get rid of. I have my favourites – one of them being a Jerry Garcia tie. I never was a Grateful Dead fan, and yeah, I though making ties with his estate's name attached was kind of a sell-out, but ya gotta make a buck, no?
….and I look good!
Song by: Bruce Springsteen

I live on the edge of Seattle and love it here. It's not perfect, but it's safer than most places I've traveled to in America as an American with a permanent tan. A place not just for me but my children as well. I'm not saying this city is perfect, we have our share of random shootings, and people that think I should go back to Mexico even though I was born in Oceanside, Ca. Nor are all our police free of ignorance as some will arrest you for being an old black man walking with a golf club as a cane, but they don't go after me for marijuana, they go after real crimes, most of the time.
Unbeknownst to my wife, Pete Holmes is the main reason why we moved to the Seattle area seven years ago. When considering where to move to, I remembered something I read while doing marijuana research, Seattle's City Attorney Pete Holmes stated he would not pursue the prosecution of an individual solely based on pot. Not only does this take great foresight but huge balls for a person in this position. This precedent means that it is not worth the police authorities time to look at you for pot which eliminates 80% of the reasons for "probable cause" against people of color.
Seattle is not the capital of Washington, but it's politics influence the rest of the state just as much. Known to be a progressive city, a place with progressive policies, I could never understand why the word progressive is referred to as a bad thing in politics. Don't we all want to move forward with a better quality of life and technology? To live in a better world and not back to where an infection caused by pinprick or the color of your skin could kill you? Don't we all want to move our humanity forward?
Pete Holmes has not only lived up to his word, but he's double down by speaking against the drug war at Seattle Hempfest and believes in consumption lounges. He had this to say in regards to the consumption lounges.
" I think consumption lounges are a great idea as part of the regulated I-502 system. Allowing consumption lounges in Seattle is a social justice issue and harm reduction tool, as well as an avenue to make our marijuana industry a financial success. We can continue to lead the country in marijuana reform and allowing consumption lounges is the way forward.
Two years ago I crafted a city ordinance with Former Councilmember Nick Licata that would provide for lounges with electronic devices. The use of electronic devices would be permitted in the city, but we are blocked at the state level as it's a felony to provide a consumption lounge under state law. We cannot move forward with this until we get relief from the state, and I will continue to work with my partners in the legislature to get these regressive laws changed."
I believe the precedent that Pete Holmes has set by showing a common sense approach to cannabis is the backbone for Washington and many other states legalizing marijuana recreationally thus creating a multi-billion dollar tax generating industry.
As I said Seattle isn't perfect, it has it's share of mishaps, but when someone is being prosecuted, it's most likely justice being served and not because the person was too dark to drive with a joint their car.
If you live in King County, please vote for Pete Holmes, and if you can donate your democracy dollars to his campaign, there is still time. If you live in another state or another part of Washington but have family that lives in King County, please urge them to support Pete Holmes. He has long stood by his words with actions and has proven to be the most important cannabis and social justice lawyer.
Seattle's Race For Mayor
Besides the city's attorney's office up for election, we have a different sort of mayor's race due to the previous mayor stepping down due to a scandal. This year's election has two women competing to be Seattle's first female mayor Jenny Durkan and Cary Moon.
First I would like to say that I support Cary Moon due to her activism and kind heart, she represents Seattle's growing population more than Jenny Durkan's conventional ways do to me.
As a former United States Attorney, Jenny Durkan scares the hell out of me, as one who just does their job even if that means enforcing a bad law in a state that doesn't agree with the law. I am speaking of the case of Lance Gloor vs. The United States of America.
A shim sham of a trial, where the Federal judge passed personal judgment by calling Lance a flim-flam man. The trial was prosecuted by Vince Lombardi, the grandson of the football legend, with zeal as if he caught Al Capone and not a local boy who understood that marijuana is a safer alternative for medicine and recreational use which is a form of medicine in itself.
I reached out to Durkan's Camp via Facebook, and either the fact that I'm a Seattle voter or a cannabis blogger is not significant enough for them to reply is enough to make me not support her. You can see the message was seen, but there was never a reply.
Jenny Durkan represents the same old same when it comes to politicians, the fact that she uses her sexuality in her ads where she states she was appointed as Obama's first openly gay U.S Attorney, honestly it bothers my sensibilities as she panders to the Seattle social justice warrior. Jenny Durkan represents to me what is wrong with America; a lawyer committed to the status quo hence all her corporate backers.
People just doing their job is how the holocaust happened, it's why thousands of Americans sit behind bars, how American families have been ruined and lives ended in the name of justice, over a plant. If more people stood up for what's right like Pete Holmes has, our America would be a better and more fruitful place.
I encourage you or anybody you know that lives in King County to submit their voting form by November 7th and if you don't have one, get one. Voting for Pete Holmes and Cary Moon is the only sensible thing to do for Washington.

What do we mean when we say Beyond Organic?
Due to the weakening of Organic standards ever since governments have taken control of the regulations, in which certain unnatural compounds can still be used in minimum quantity, and due to the fact that this has become a certifying business, many of the Organic Standards have been compromised in purity. We work with the farms that do not use any synthetic, chemical pesticides and no synthetic fertilizers, and therefore could easily be Certified Organic. However, rather then spending on Certifications, we are focused on investing into producing the most effective and purest products for our clients and ourselves, since we use all of our products for our Health and Vitality.
Care: Keep in cool room temperature away from direct sunlight. No refrigeration necessary.

Want to know what you can do to prevent the no. 1 problem that contributes to a furnace system failure?
Unlike many of your home appliances, your furnace is a necessity, not a luxury. Yet, while people perform a weekly dusting ritual on their high-definition televisions, furnaces often sit alone in the basement for months at a time. Neglecting your furnace can be a costly mistake. The number one problem that contributes to furnace failure isn't a mechanical failure -- it's forgetting to change the air filter regularly.
Furnace filters come in all sizes in a variety of materials to keep your heating system clean. What they do is filter dust, allergens and dirt out of the air as it reaches your heating and cooling equipment. If a filter is old and worn or overly full, it starts to fail, and the grime gets in to your system. Once inside, that debris can coat the blower and mechanical parts, causing a significant decline in efficiency. Your system has to work harder, and the harder it works, the more prone it is to sporadic failure. Failures mount until your unit completely shuts down.
How often should you change your filter? It depends on the type of filter, how often your system runs and how dirty the air is. But you should check it monthly and replace or clean it when it's dirty -- at least once every one to three months is a good rule of thumb. Consult your furnace's manual for exact filter size and specifications. You can also sign up to receive free email reminders on when it is time to check your filter.
If your system needs a checkup, contact the professionals at P.K. Wadsworth Heating & Cooling. We've proudly served the Cleveland area for over 75 years and would be happy to send out a technician. We'll do it all -- including preventing the number one problem that contributes to furnace failure.

Snack Review
Taste test: It too me a minute to figure out that this version of Peeps was supposed to look like the head of a reindeer, because the shape was pretty obscure (it could have been a rabbit head or any number of things) but I guess the green eyes and red nose should have given it away.
The six Peeps in the package were joined together into two groups of three and were fairly easy to separate. The exteriors had a granulated sugar feel, and the whole thing felt quite spongy, as you would expect from Peeps. Between pulling them apart and holding one to eat it, you will definitely get some sugar on your hands. The taste was OK, just mildly chocolatey and a bit marshmallowy, but nothing great. I guess it's OK to call it chocolate mousse, but it's nothing I would crave. These might work better as a decoration on cakes than as a standalone treat.
Shop: Buy chocolate on Amazon #ad
Smell test: Slight but very nice chocolate smell.
From the package: "Great for Decorating and Craft Projects!" ... "A Fat-Free Candy"
Online store: Buy chocolate on Amazon #ad
Company: Just Born Inc.

Straightedge shaves and more at The Kahala's exclusive new spa suite for men
Spa procedures are no longer just fodder for skepticism among men. While pedicures and pampering have their stake with ladies seeking physical refreshment and a respite from the world, The Kahala Hotel & Resort has added a new gentlemen's spa room and shaving treatment, aiming to get guys back into body care indulgences, too.
According to Travis Kono, spa director at The Kahala, adding a men's spa component happened after finding that, over the last 10 years, more men were booking appointments for massages and other treatments. Aside from men whose wives coerced them into a facial or pedicure, Kono says this increase in men spa guests can be attributed to a recent trend back toward maintaining aesthetic and bodily consciousness.
"(Guys understand that) you have to look and feel your best," Kono says. "We wanted to create something specifically for them."
In December 2008, an exclusive "gentlemen's room" was created. This room is outfitted with subtle scented candles, cushioned seats, a shaving chair and a stunning full-size mirror with an embedded TV. Kono says this room serves multiple purposes. It can be used for executive meetings, with the seated area being perfect for post-workday cocktails and lax private conversations. It also can be used as a "groom's room," a men's counterpart to the traditional bride's suite, where a groom and his party can convene as his bride prepares for the wedding.
"It's been really popular for us," Kono says.
HILuxury sent senior designer Cody Kawamoto to experience The Kahala's men's spa procedures. An invigorating straightedge shave and pedicure awaited him – new experiences for the first-time spa-goer.
Shave specialist Stephen King administered the classic blade treatment. King brings a well-versed hand to The Kahala, having 15 years of professional shaving experience, which includes training with a master barber in his native Georgia. Kono says King was selected to lend his skills to the spa after months of searching for someone who "is not only good at (shaving), but does it every day."
"It's an art, not just a skill," Kono says.
The shave began with a milk face wash. Hot towels were then set on Kawamoto's face, a step designed to open pores and soften hair for more efficient shaving. Oil and shaving cream were then applied, and a "double shave" was then done with a straightedge blade. King exerted painstaking care as he did the free-hand shave, treating Kawamoto's problematic skin areas with a delicate touch.
Aftershave and a facial mask followed the procedure. Cold towels were then set, which King says close pores and create more circulation. Finishing the treatment was a skin-refreshing dose of June Jacobs facial toner.
"A lot of guys aren't taught to care for their skin," King says. "Part of the shave is getting a 'male facial.' Most guys don't go through the whole process – moisturizing, hot towels, etc. – when shaving by themselves. It's a lot different from a Mach 3 shave."
Moving on to foot-pampering, Kari Tokushige began Kawamoto's pedicure with a foot soak and exfoliation with Ola's Pineapple Lime Foot Scrub. Stones placed beneath Kawamoto's feet provided a delicate sole massage. Tokushige then administered expert nail and cuticle care, followed by an application of June Jacobs mask, a product also used on the face, which provides added moisture when applied on the feet in place of paraffin wax. Completing the pedicure was a nail buff and a pressure-point foot massage with a special Soul Fire for Men lotion by Hawaiian Rainforest Naturals.
Between sips of the spa's signature water and green tea extract drink, Kawamoto extolled the greatness of the men's shave and pedicure. Tokushige says it's a common reaction.
"When guys get their first pedicure, it's something they enjoy and want to do again," she says.
The gentleman's shave is offered at $95; men's pedicures range from $65-$95. Guys can enjoy any of The Kahala's massages as well.

The interview is over! Here you see the wreckage that comes from trying to selectively recall works from three years past, unnecessary effort as it occurs. Should have thought about more standard questions such as why this particular company should do this for you. But I didn't, and blubbed on foolishly. It was a trying time for both me and the interviewer. Gloom.
Prayers now, it all depends on God's favour. Him willing, I shall get munnies so I need to stop being silly with the worrying and wallow in His goodness.

OptiMate 3 now available as a multi-bank
The OptiMate 3 charger from TecMate was originally designed in 1994, but a process of continual updating has meant that it still retains all the features that made it so popular over 20 years ago, but with all the modern features that have become available since.
Now available as a multi-bank charger, those original features include the unique maintenance mode that works on sealed AGM and GEL as well as flooded batteries and allows 24-7-365 maintenance.
Tested by Honda Motor Company, they concluded that TecMate's inter-active charge method of 30 minutes maintenance charging alternating with 30 minutes 'rest' (during which time the battery continues to be monitored) is ideal for all their lead-acid batteries.
The original self-discharge test remains, checking if that battery can hold more than 50% charge; warning the rider if not. Recognizing that it could well be the vehicle itself drawing the battery down, OptiMate continues to provide charge to the battery, to prevent it from being drained completely!
The unique professional level ability to recover a sulphated battery that won't accept and hold charge remains a key OptiMate feature, doing so automatically without any user intervention. At the same time 'smart circuits' are built in to prevent this feature kicking-in if vehicle wiring is detected - completely discharged batteries have the best chance of recovery if taken off the vehicle.
For dealers who want to prepare and keep batteries fresh for sale at the counter, or for customers with multiple vehicles, the Dual bank and Quad bank models offer great features and value for money, according to TecMate. Each bank works like an independent OptiMate 3 - you can even charge series-connected batteries as the banks are electrically isolated from each other.
OptiMate 3 features are trusted by many OEMS, including the companies that globally co-brand this model, such as Honda, Triumph, Moose Utility Division and Drag Specialties.

The travel and tourism industry has been steadily evolving online, becoming more integrated into the digital space and the social media landscape. When people travel, they are tapping into all kinds of digital and social media. They use their smartphones and tablets to research and book the hotel rooms, post about their holidays on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and when they get back home, they review their experiences on Google, TripAdvisor and Yelp. Isn't it time your tourism business took advantage of these travel industry digital marketing trends?
If you own a hotel, guesthouse or bed and breakfast, then it's likely that your busy season is coming up or already started in regard to bookings. By taking advantage of these four social and digital marketing trends in the travel and tourism industry, you can and will tap into the growing market of potential customers researching and booking travel online and reach more potential customers than ever.
Mobile First And Mobile Friendly Travel Websites
Mobile devices have become the main way we research and book our holidays. More travellers are using online travel agents (OTAs), such as Expedia or Kayak, to book hotels and trips on their mobile phones, tablets and desktop computers. Of the 148.3 million online bookings made every year, 65 percent of same-day hotel reservations were made using a smartphone! OTAs (online travel agents) are currently 39 percent of the U.S. online digital booking market — a number that is expected to rise by 2020 and much the same here in the UK.

The Best Digital Marketing Strategy For Tourism
Make sure your hotel or B and B website is optimized for mobile or built in the first place as mobile first. Have you checked recently to see how your website looks on your phone and tablet? Google your site on a smartphone and see what happens. Then, think about how you can improve your mobile experience for your prospective customers. This is not only essential to increase your online presence, but also because consumers are often going through OTAs on their phone rather than using a hotel's direct website. Even if your hotel is present on sites like Expedia, Priceline and Kayak, you will want to make sure that customers who land on your direct website have a great mobile and booking experience.
View our article on Web Design For Hotels
By offering a mobile-friendly site to your potential guests, you're avoiding the loss of potential customers. If potential customers come to your hotel's website on their smartphone, and not impressed by the experience — they aren't given all the information they need to book or it's difficult to book — they will choose another travel site, use an OTA to explore more options, or even book another hotel. Even if you can't offer online booking, be sure that mobile users can access your site when they're doing research or making travel plans, and that they can easily get in touch with you when they're ready to book.
Are Social Review Sites Good For SEO?
Literally millions of online businesses use sites like TripAdvisor to spread the word about their business to travellers. And they know it's where many travellers are going to browse photos, information and, most importantly, customer reviews, before they book.
96 percent of travellers consider reviews an important factor when booking a hotel.
83 percent of TripAdvisor users "usually or always" reference reviews to feel confident about making their booking decision.
Social Media Strategy For Tourism
Respond to all of your reviews to protect your hotel's online reputation and extend your customer service online. First things first: As a business owner, make sure you have a clear photo of yourself on all of your review site profiles so that when you respond to reviews, reviewers will see your name and photo and know that they're getting a response from a real person.
Next, add photos of your hotel's rooms, amenities and surrounding city or area to your pages on review sites like Yelp and TripAdvisor to show the genuine experience of staying at your property. This doesn't just mean beautiful exterior shots of the front entrance. Add shots of the interior of the lobby, the pool, gym and spa, plus the interior of the rooms and bathrooms themselves. Guests want to know that what they are viewing on your review sites represents the real experience they will have at your hotel. Once they see that you are proud to show off your space, they'll be more likely to book their stay with your hotel.
Inspire With Social Media
Your prospective visitors want to be able to research their trip by checking out the social media pages of hotels and destinations. They're researching cost and amenities on hotel websites and through the OTAs. But they're also checking out Instagram, Facebook and Twitter to see if the hotel they're about to book has an active social presence and elements that will get them excited for the trip they're planning.
Maintain a strong presence on social media by posting consistently with engaging, high-quality content on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. Show off your space, your team, your restaurant, your patio — anything involved in the authentic experience of staying at your hotel is what your guests want to see. Remember though you don't have to focus solely on what your business offers in-house.
Use your social pages to guide potential and current guests' experiences and educate them about local restaurants, upcoming events or local hidden gems. It keeps your content interesting, and it's a great way to promote local businesses in your surrounding area. Posting this kind of content on social media will ensure that potential customers researching their travel plans are more likely to find (and be inspired by!) what you're offering and decide to book with you.
How To Encourage Engagement With Social Media?
Social media doesn't just influence purchasing and booking behaviour, it also gives consumers a platform to share their travels and experiences. Since most travellers are ready with their smartphones to show off every moment of their trip to their followers, they want to know that their travel experience will be shareable on social media. Provide an experience your guests will be excited about sharing and ask customers to post their vacation photos on their Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages — while tagging and mentioning your business — to drive engagement and get new eyes on your pages.
View our article on Social Media For Tourism
To remind your customers to share their holiday photos, you can post the request on your social media channels, or simply put up cards in your hotel or restaurant letting guests know you're on social media and that you would love for them to share their memories of staying with you. You can also request that guests check into your business digitally on Facebook and that guests both tag and geotag you on Twitter and Instagram when they're sharing their experiences on their personal social media channels.
As your customers share their experiences at your business, their friends and followers will click to your social pages to find out more about you, which spreads word-of-mouth and builds brand awareness. This is a great way to stay top-of-mind for these potential customers when they're planning their next trip. Plus, your customers' posts are great for your business' social media feeds. Repost their user-generated content to encourage engagement and show off how much your guests love coming to stay with you over and over.
Stay Ahead Of Social Media Trends
Keeping up with these digital marketing trends in the travel industry can help you get more guests during your busiest holiday season and keep them coming back. Make sure that your website is up to date and looks great on mobile phones, that your review sites are active and that all of your reviews have responses, and that you're not only present on social media, but offering engaging, valuable information to your current and potential guests that shows the authentic experience of staying with you.
