Colorado sees average price of wholesale marijuana rise in second half of 2018 - Cannabis News
New average market rates for products grown for retail purposes help state calculate excise tax collections.
Starting Jan. 1, Colorado will reap more tax revenue from wholesale deals involving marijuana intended to be sold to consumers after the average prices of those wholesale products rose in the latter part of 2018.
The Colorado Department of Revenue on Thursday released updated average market rates for marijuana being sold or transferred from retail cultivation centers to recreational pot shops or facilities that make retail products like hash oil and edibles.

You were young, drunk and stupid… you took a dare.. a flight of fancy overtook you… you were madly in love with what's-his-name… you wanted to experiment with hand poking a tattoo on yourself… you got it when you were seventeen and now you're 47… it's old… it's ugly… it's lost its color…
Whatever the reason was for getting that tattoo, you now regret it, or maybe you're just tired of how it looks. What can you do? Fortunately current technologies in plastic surgery and advancements in tattooing offer the despairing individual options in correcting the problem. So what is available? You have two basic choices; get it covered up or get it removed.
The two most basic reasons for getting a tattoo covered up are to hide or obscure an unwanted tattoo and to rework an existing tattoo that has faded with time. The most common cover-ups are the 'name' tattoos and tattoos of poor quality by inexperienced tattooists. Which option you choose for your tattoo is a personal one that you have to make.
In the past the typical type of cover-up was the solid black design. Panthers, eightballs and large geometric or tribal designs were used to hide unwanted tattoos. Today many tattoo artist are able to employ intricately colored and cleverly placed designs in order to obscure the offending tattoo. A good cover-up requires patience in finding the right design, usually custom created to fit the existing tattoo and the individual getting the cover-up. A knowledgeable tattoo artist can even use a special technique to 'lighten' an unwanted tattoo, making the cover-up process easier. Advanced planning and a cautionary approach is needed. The last thing you want is to get a bad tattoo covered up with another bad tattoo. Make sure you are comfortable with your artist and that you have a well thought out plan on how the tattoo should be covered up.
If you are happy with the design you have but it has faded with time, then having the tattoo reworked or re-colored may be the option for you. Depending on the extent of fading or blurring your tattoo has received over time will determine the amount of rework that will be needed to bring the design back to life. This is the easiest type of cover-up to do since you are not changing the design, but rather redoing the lines and colors that are already there.
Keep in mind that both a cover-up and a rework require more work than a fresh tattoo, so expect to have to pay a little extra. In the end that little extra will be well worth it.
"This customer came in with a very old and poorly executed tattoo. The original design was a rose that had a banner at its base containing names (just visible). The snake was added later to cover up the names."
"Here the outline was redone to rejuvenate the design and hide some flaws in the original. Heavy shading was used to accentuate the different subjects and to help hide additional flaws the outline could not."
"After the outline healed, color was added. This picture shows the tattoo right after the color session. While light colors were used, it will darken as the tattoo heals and the new ink intermixes with the old."
For the removal of a tattoo you must consult a physician. As with finding a good tattoo artist, you should also find a good doctor. Use common sense and listen to the refferals of others who have had good results. Ask questions and become informed. Remember that this is considered surgery, and with any surgery, the more you know the better your chances of getting the results you want.
There are four basic methods for the removal of a tattoo; excision, dermabrasion, salabrasion and laser. No matter which method you choose, you must keep in mind that all tattoo removal methods leave scars or blemishes of some extent on the skin.
1) Excision
This is one of the oldest methods of removal and is idealy suited for small tattoos. With this process the tattooed area is surgically removed by cutting the tattoo out and suturing the skin together. One advantage is that the offending tattoo is removed completely and with today's medical technology the resulting scar is minimal. With larger tattoos this process can be used but it may be done in stages or with a skin graft. If done in stages, a wedge is removed from the center of the tattoo and allowed to heal. When the skin around the tattoo has stretched enough, the remaining tattoo can be removed. On very large tattoos it may be necessary to graft a piece of skin taken from another part of your body and used to 'patch' the area where the unwanted tattoo was. I would not recommend this process for large tattooed areas.
2) Dermabrasion
Another popular method of tattoo removal is with dermabrasion. In this method the surface of the skin is frozen by the surgeon and the tattoo is 'sanded' of with a special machine. This process leaves a large scab, similar to road rash, and when healed may leave blemishes on the skin. You may also need to do this in several sessions if the first pass doesn't remove the tattoo completely.
3) Salabrasion
This procedure is similar to dermabrasion but the results are questionable. With salabrasion, salt and water are used with a block of wood to 'scrub' away the old tattoo. The skin is vigorously rubbed with the salt and water untill the skin turns deep red. Because this does not completely remove the tattoo, several sessions may be necessary. This method can be used in conjunction with a cover-up in order to lighten up the old tattoo prior to the cover-up.
4) Laser
Current technology has given tattooed individuals a new method of safe tattoo removal with very favorable results; laser surgery. This new type of surgery uses a Q-switched Ruby, Q-switched Alexandrite or a Q-switched Nd:Yag laser. The beauty of this process is that the laser burns away the tattoo pigments without doing much significant damage to the skin. A few drawbacks to this are the cost of the procedure and the fact that it may take several sessions to completely remove the tattoo. There have also been a few reported cases where the procedure did leave some blemishes and/or scars on the skin surface.

What to Do If You Don't Qualify for Provincial Home and Community Care Services
Community Care Access Centres (CCACs) coordinate home care, community care and long term care across the province of Ontario. If you or a loved one need extra help at home or can no longer safely live alone then a call to your local CCAC is in order.
The costs of CCAC services are covered by the government and any resident of Ontario can contact a local CCAC to make a referral for themselves, a loved one, or a patient. If you have an Ontario health card then you are eligible for an assessment by a CCAC coordinator to determine the type of care and service you need.
But what happens when your assessment doesn't result in the care you feel you (or a loved one) require?
Canadians' Home Care Needs Not Met
In 2012, Statistics Canada released a stunning report on home care deficiencies across the country. According to their survey (which did not include Canadians living in long-term care homes or institutions), 1.8 million Canadians received home care and were satisfied that they were receiving all the care they needed.
However, 792, 000 Canadians 15 years of age and older had home care needs for a long-term illness, aging or disability condition which were only partially met, or not met at all. Of this group of Canadians:
- 461, 000 needed home care but did not receive any at all
- 331, 000 received home care but did not feel they were receiving all the care they needed.
Of those Canadians not receiving home care services:
- 24% were 65 years of age and older
- 59% reported they had at least one physical problem
Of those Canadians receiving inadequate home care services:
- 40% were 65 years of age and older
Immigrants and individuals with a household income of less than $20, 000 were more likely to report that they had unmet home care needs.
Also, Canadians receiving inadequate home care services:
- Were more likely to have partially met needs if they had certain medical conditions: For example 30% of Canadians with back problems did not receive all the help they needed, compared with 11% of Canadians receiving home care because they had cancer
- This also included seniors who were primarily helped by: Friends or neighbours (17%), their son (12%) their spouse (11%) their daughter (8%)
How to Be Your Own Advocate in the Community Care System
The aforementioned Statistics Canada study shows that although many Canadians are receiving the home care assistance they need, a large number have needs which are unmet or only partially met.
In a system which is underfunded and overused, it is easy to become lost. It's important to become your own advocate to ensure that you (or a loved one) receives the care you need and deserve.
Becoming an advocate means educating yourself about the services and levels of care you are entitled to and then following up with care providers and community groups to ensure you receive that care.
The Type of Community Care You're Entitled To
Within Ontario, when you contact the CCAC you will speak to a care coordinator who will discuss your concerns, needs and the support that is available. Anyone with an Ontario Health Insurance Plan is eligible for local CCAC services.
Your local CCAC assesses needs using standardized tools. The assessment will look at:
- Individual needs
- Health concerns
- Decision-making abilities
- Memory
- Mood
- Non-financial resources
- Social support
Based on their assessment, the care coordinator works with you to develop a care plan that may include a combination of services provided by the CCAC like nursing care (which are free), or other services within the community that may require a co-payment or full payment by you. These community services might include transportation to doctor's appointments, help with meals or assistance with house work.
If you or a loved one are no longer able to live at home then your care coordinator will help with the application for long-term care. They are responsible for the application process, eligibility and wait list management.
The Limitations of Community Care Services and Support
You should be aware of some limitations to CCAC support:
- People requiring a high level of nursing care can receive a max of 28 visits or 43 hours of care a week
- People requiring a high level of personal support services can receive a max of 80 hours of service in the first 30 days and 60 hours for the next 30 day period
- There are 14 CCAC locations across Ontario and each one offers different services and levels of community care
- There are wait times for some services
If you require high levels of care above and beyond what the CCAC can offer then you should consider an application for a long-term care home.
Across the country wait times vary for long-term care communities. For individuals and their families with an urgent need for 24-hour care, these waits are difficult. Seniors waiting for long-term care are cared for in hospitals in the meantime, which is a stressful and emotional experience for families as well as an expensive and heavy burden on the health care system.
Once your application for a long-term care community is complete it is difficult to know how long you will have to wait to receive your space. You'll likely be surprised at the long wait.
For example, as of October 2015 wait times in Burlington, Ontario were as high as 1048 days for some communities.
What to Do If Your Application is Denied
If you haven't received the help you need from your local CCAC or your application to stay in a long-term care community is denied and you feel you have met all the conditions required of you then you have a few options:
- Contact the long-term care action line and ask to speak to an independent complaints facilitator, who is a neutral mediator between you and the CCAC
- If your complaint remains unheard consider launching an appeal of the CCAC's decision. To do this you'll need to contact the Health Services Appeal Board of Ontario
If you can afford care for yourself and a loved one independent of the CCAC then you may find that private home care or a retirement community is a better option to ensure you or your loved one receives the care you require in a timely fashion.

Trimont Pipe Wrench 18 inch Trimo 1918 Patent
This is a very nice, antique 18" adjustable pipe wrench, marked "TRIMO TRIMONT MFG. CO. ROXBURY MASS. U.S.A. 18 TRIMO ALLOY MARK SIZE 18 DROP FORGED PAT'D 3-5-18"" on the handle area, and " TRIMO PATENTED SIZE 18" on the moving jaw. In good++ condition with minimal wear, no rust, good straight metal and gears. The jaw teeth and edges show very little wear, and the jaws align well with one another, teeth sharpness is very good! Overall, a very carfully used antique wrench by the looks of it! The knurled thumbwheel design works great as it incorporates a pair of stamped steel U shaped washers, (formed to fit into the knurl wheel for smoother operation) that helps the thumb wheel turn much easier, and also guides the moving jaw better) than those without this feature. The washer is formed to fit into the main casting and the knurl wheel next to it, so it doesn't spin round and round. A very nicely designed hard to find size, nice clean wrench, from the early 1920's era. Measures 16.5" long (completely closed) even though it is marked 18" on the wrench, and the jaws are 7/8" wide. This wrench is one of the nicest we have seen in the past 10 years. We have seen some that were either painted or Japanned, this one has about 80% black Japanning intact. A favorite amoung pipe fitters, known as one of the best pipe wrench patented designs at the time, and in my opinion still is.

It's new iPhone day! Forget those other bogus holidays, new iPhone day is when Apple tells us about the greatest thing to happen to mobile tech, until next year when they have a new device that makes last year's device look like trash. Who needs headphone jacks? This year's iPhones have a matte finish.
As usual, many rumors about the new iPhones leaked out ahead of time. However, on new iPhone day Apple can spin those details in their proper context. And with the new iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, all eyes are on the cameras.
Seriously. If you don't care about photography then today's Apple presentation was basically worthless to you outside of an iPad refresh, Apple Watch saving lives and never turning off, a new trailer for Jason Momoa's weird Apple TV+ show about being blind, and launch details for Apple Arcade. Aside from powering some Dark Souls clone called Pascal's Wager, even the new A13 chip was described in terms of how it enhances the cameras. But yo, those cameras!
Starting that $700, the iPhone 11 has two big and powerful rear cameras. Although this is the entry-level model, users still get pro features. Ultra wide angles let you take expansive detailed photos even with limited space. And Night Mode presents clear images even with extremely low light. Plus there's this new cursed thing called the "Slowfies" or slow-motion front-facing selfies.
The iPhone 11 Pro is where it's really at though. For $1000 they slapped a whole third camera on this thing. The back looks like an alien spider opening up its inner eye for enlightenment. Deep Fusion intelligently merges the best parts of multiple pics together like a Dragon Ball character. The extra lens (wide, ultra wide, and telephoto) gives photographers and videographers even more information to play with when taking photos or recording 4K, 60FPS, HDR video. Apple showed off the Filmic Pro app that records scenes from multiple different types of shots at once from closeups to wide coverage. Extended battery life makes professional film shoots even more feasible on the phone.
Exciting if you're into cameras. But if you aren't, the lack of anything else new and exciting is kind of a problem, no? At least you can still get old iPhones for less money. iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro go on sale September 20. (Or you could check out these Android phones)

As the brand-new model year has arrived, both Volkswagen Tiguan and Nissan Rogue are prepared with their 2019 versions for a difficult fight. Volkswagen has upgraded Tiguan and updated it wisely, whereas the Nissan Rogue looks eye-catching with one-of-a-kind bodywork and interior cabin changes. Just when the Tiguan began to look obsolete and aged, Volkswagen went ahead and gave it a total makeover in 2018, and it altered the way most car customers see small crossovers. Let's see how these 2 well-known small Sport Utility Vehicles compete against one another.
Volkswagen Tiguan has a number of updates for the 2019 model. The leading updates consist of:
Nissan Rogue includes some extraordinary updates for '19, consisting of:
New Volkswagen Tiguan does not just look elegant, but it has an entirely new interior projecting ripped toughness and superior performance. Inside, the SUV boasts a properly designed interior with a beautiful cockpit, easy to use dashboard and sunroof. The one-of-a-kind leatherette seating looks fashionable, feels comfortable and is extremely easy to maintain.
Rogue has a well-equipped cabin with wide choices of upscale seating selections. The cabin is powered by Nissan's ProPilot Assist to aid vehicle drivers with freeway driving.
Similarly, BMW has renovated the brand-new X3 and included many useful features and a fresh face-lift. Signature kidney grille, LED lights, stylish exterior design, as well as a sculpted body are a few of the very best features of the new BMW X3.
Tiguan is durable and powerful with its turbocharged 2.0L TSI engine. With an upgraded horsepower of 184hp, the new SUV is smooth, energetic and agreeable when driving. The brand-new Tiguan flaunts 4-Motion All-Wheel Drive with a snow mode, on-road and off-road settings, and an off-road personalized mode for the trickiest of roads. When taking into consideration each SUV's towing ability, the Tiguan is a better choice over the Nissan Rogue because of its higher capacity to tow heavy loads. Rogue still has the same engine, and it feels slow with 170hp and lowers torque than Tiguan. With greater torque, the Tiguan transfers even more power to its wheels successfully than the Nissan Rogue. Plainly, in this performance category, Tiguan is thusly the champion.
The Volkswagen Tiguan has an easy to use electronic cabin that flaunts the brand's breakthrough technology, the Digital Cockpit. The display screen has 2 choices: Driver personalization and Wide Map Navigation view. Drivers will also have the alternative to utilize the App-Connect attribute to link their smart devices to their car. The new '19 Tiguan's Fender surround sound stereo is fantastic and boasts awesome acoustics.
Nissan Rogue also flaunts a smart driving system, tech-integrated cockpit, and several various other brand-new smart-app functions.
Tiguan is not simply an enjoyable SUV to drive, but it has many unique features for this version year, unlike the Rogue. After this in-depth comparison, Tiguan is the champion.
Contact Gene Messer Volkswagen online, in-person, or give us a call to schedule a Volkswagen Tiguan test drive.
I came in just to get my credit run so I could see what I would qualify for... 2 hours later I walked out the new owner of a Volkswagen. They made it very easy for me to see a dream that I didn't think possible for quite some time. And without feeling pressured or ripped off. Thank you Gene Messer. And thank you Benjamin. I will definatly come back for my next vehicle.
I just bought my first car ever and I absolutely love it! Jeffery Statham and Kyle Hind were so helpful in finding the right car for me and made the whole car buying process easy! It was all around a positive car buying experience! Highly recommended!!
Had my Jetta GLI 35 serviced. Cost was reasonable and fairly fast.

The Venus Factor Review – Weight Loss Program For Women
The Venus Factor is a nutrition & fitness course designed specifically for women. The creator of the program, John Barban, has used the Golden Mean to identify the ideal female measurement ratio, which he calls the "Venus Index". The program is created to help women achieve their own individual, ideal proportions.
Barban discusses the key psychological & physiological differences between men & women. More importantly, in my view, he educates on the prevalence of leptin resistance & how to overcome this growing trend. He creates exercise & nutrition strategies customizable to individual women based on their height, weight, age & body type in order to deliver optimal results.
Their are 4 core components of The Venus Factor System:
1) The main PDF manual can be printed out or read on any device. It contains a thorough explanation of the philosophy behind the course & step-by-step instructions for following the nutrition & exercise guidelines.
2) The Exercise Plan is a customized 12-week program that can be performed at home or any fitness facility. A complete set of videos is included which shows users how to perform each of the recommended exercises.
3) The Virtual Nutritionist is a software application that will create a customized nutrition regimen based on the individual details you provide about yourself.
4) An Online Forum where you can connect with other users, ask specific questions about the course or share tips & experiences with the community. Users can create & share podcasts, blog about their experiences & make friends with other like-minded women for support & camaraderie.
Is this program a good fit for you? Weigh the Pros & Cons!
- The major strength of The Venus factor is that it is so easy to follow. The exercises are demonstrated & explained thoroughly in the videos & the customized meal plans contain a variety of healthy dishes that are easy to make & taste great.
- You do not need a gym membership or expensively equipped home gym to complete the workouts. The exercise programs can easily be performed at home with minimal equipment.
- The Venus Factor nutrition program does not require tedious calorie counting or deprivation. The focus is on eating clean, whole foods in reasonable portions, so the lifestyle & results are easy to maintain.
The course is designed for women, which excludes men who want to lose weight.
The emphasis is on sculpting which involves strength training & clean eating, so users must put forth effort & not just rely on a quick fix that does not provide lasting results.
The Venus Factor is a well-designed program that helps women sculpt a firm, yet feminine, physique. It provides a balanced approach to woman who are serious about getting into great shape & learning how to adopt & maintain a healthy lifestyle. We recommend The Venus Factor because it provides fitness & nutrition education & guidance, as well as community for support, encouragement & accountability community for women who want to take a positive step toward transforming their physique!

I was interviewed about culture and religion integration in Italian companies. The main points of my contribution were the need for a clear governance of inclusion by top management, the strategic role of training in building a culture of respect, the focus on merit in order to avoid unequal career path management and finally a two-pronged approach: the "sterilization" of company festive communications and the creation of a welcoming atmosphere in which individual religious choices can be exercised freely.

West Virginia Flooding: Save the Children Helping Children Impacted by the Disaster
Charleston, W.Va. (June 24, 2016)
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (June 24, 2016) - Save the Children is assessing how best to help the thousands of children impacted by the powerful storms that hit West Virigina on Thursday night, causing widespread flooding and destruction, power outages and the deaths of at least 14 people, including two young children. The National Weather Service said 8-10 inches of rain fell in 6-8 hours in parts of the state. West Virginian Governor Early Ray Tomblin has issued a state of emergency in 44 of the state's 55 counties. Save the Children works in three of the flood-affected counties, including Roane County, Calhoun County and Cherry River in Nicholas County.
"We are reaching out to all the families we serve to determine what the most urget needs are to protect children's safety and wellbeing," said Anna Hardway, Save the Children's director of Programs in West Virginia. "We know many children are displaced and have lost belongings and possibly homes, and can be very vulnerable after a disaster like this. Many os the families we serve don't have the resources to quickly bounce back and we want to make sure we can helpt hem protect their children."
Save the Children serves children in 5 West Virginia counties through health, early education programs and afterschool programs. The organization currently partners with local schools to deliver programming to 1,824 children in the state. Programs support mothers during pregnancy, provides home visits to families of infants and toddles, help young children get ready for school, stay healthy and succees in school and beyond.
Save the Children has worked in West Virginia since 2010 and has serves more then 1 million U.S. children affected by disaster since Hurrican Katrins struck in 2006.
Save the Children gives children in the United States and around the world a healthy start, the opportunity to lean and protection from harm. We invest in childhood -- every day, in times of crisis and for our futire. Follow us on Twitter and Facebook.

Want to realise your pet project? Part 2 and Part 3 students can now enter a competition to win a research bursary worth £2,000 – deadline 3 February
The AJ and Hoare Lea are offering the bursary to support a design or idea which will then be developed alongside an engineer from the leading M&E consultant.
The topic of the project is up to you: you might have an idea for a new tidal power scheme, the future of transportation, or innovative office lighting. Or perhaps you have a solution to sustainable city planning or a radical architectural design that you're struggling to work out the technical detail for?
Hoare Lea could provide you with engineering advice on M&E, acoustics, audio-visual design, lighting, sustainability, fire engineering, vertical transportation, operational engineering and post-occupancy, security design, and intelligent building design.
The winner of the bursary will have four months to work up their design with input from Hoare Lea's engineer, and will also be published in the AJ.
In 2015 the AJ/Hoare Lea student bursary was won by Bartlett student Joanne Preston for her proposal to develop an extruded clay tile that behaves as a solar chimney. Among the shortlisted proposals were a bus shelter that reduces pollution and a live project building a bird hide on Rutland Water.
Entry is FREE and the deadline is 3 February. Finalists will be asked to present their projects at Hoare Lea's offices on 23 February to a judging panel of engineers, architects and members of the AJ editorial team. They will then attend a special finalists' reception and prize-giving ceremony where the winner will be revealed.
Commenting on the bursary, which is part of the Women in Architecture programme, a spokesperson from Hoare Lea said: 'We are pleased to be able to offer the student bursary as part of our support for the Women in Architecture programme. It gives us a great opportunity to work with young architects, using our engineering experience to help them to deliver their innovative projects.'
Why enter?
- Bursary scheme worth £2,000
- Opportunity to work alongside a Hoare Lea engineer to develop your idea or design
- Winner's profile will feature in the Architects' Journal
- Free to enter
- Invitation to finalists' reception and prize giving on 23 February.

- Default Credentials
- Logging into a node

- Sign up For Enterprise Support

Deploy Grakn on Google Cloud
As illustrated below, deploying Grakn KGMS on Google Cloud is a straight-forward process.
Running Grakn
Once the deployment is complete, a Grakn Cluster starts automatically. There is no need for starting Grakn Servers manually.
Default Credentials
As part of the deployment, Google Cloud produces the default credentials with username being
grakn and the password as displayed on the post-deployment screen. We need these credentials to access the Graql and Grakn consoles.
We strongly encourage changing the default password. To do this, we need to first access Grakn Console and then update the user
grakn giving it a new secured password.
Logging into a node
For a more direct interaction with the database, we need to log into a node. To do so, we need to start an
ssh session as illustrated below.
Cluster Health Check
While logged into a node, run
grakn cluster status. This outputs the list of all nodes, as shown below, with the first column indicating the Status (Up/Down) and State (Normal/Leaving/Joining/Moving).
Access Grakn User Management Console
While logged into a node, run
grakn user-management. This requires us to enter our credentials. If this is our first login, we need to enter the default credentials. Once authenticated, we are in the Grakn User Management Console where we may manage users and authentication.
Access Grakn Console
While logged into a node, we can enter the Grakn Console where we can interact with and perform queries on our keyspaces.
Configuring Grakn
To ensure Grakn behaves according to your specific needs, you may configure Grakn. One important attribute in Grakn configuration file, is the path to the data directory.
Sign up For Enterprise Support
As a user of Grakn KGMS on Google Cloud, you are entitled to premium enterprise support.
Best Practices
Google Cloud offers a wide range of compute and storage options. What follows is a set of generic recommendations for an optimal choice.
Compute options
The optimum machine choice offering a good balance between CPU and memory should be equipped with at least 4 vCPUs and 8 GB of RAM. Using machines with additional RAM above a 25 GB threshold is not expected to yield significant performance improvements. Having these bounds in mind, the following machines are recommended because they offer a balanced set of system resources for a range of workloads:
- Standard:
- n1-standard-4
- n1-standard-8
- n1-standard-16
- High-CPU:
- n1-highcpu-16
- n1-highcpu-32
- High-memory:
- n1-highmem-4
- n1-highmem-8
For more information, please visit the GC Machine Types
Storage options
For performance, we suggest using SSD persistent disks for the majority of use cases. The specific size of persistent disks depends on the volume of data to be processed as well as your application-specific requirements. It is also possible to use HDD persistent disks. Although these come at a reduced price, their poor performance does not justify their use and we do not recommend them.
For more information on GCE disks, please visit the GC Disk Docs

At any moment there are almost two thousand thunderstorms in progress around the world. As a result the atmosphere endures around 44 lightning strikes per second, or about 8,640,000 times each day.
ALLTEC's Lightning Strike Counter can register and record local strikes for you. This information is then used to enhance lightning protection security and increase the effectiveness of inspection and maintenance procedures.
System failures happen. Replacing equipment is expensive. Often the cause of problems stays undetermined. Lightning damage is often subtle and the underlying cause of undocumented failure. The Lightning Strike Counter keeps track of the number of times that a facility or equipment has suffered a direct strike and can assist in determining the need for additional means of security such as grounding, surge suppression and lightning protection.
ALLTEC's Lightning Strike Counter Installation Examples
How it Works
Unique in both operation and design, the Lightning Strike Counter uses a 2-wire connection to any metal conductor for the detection of lightning induced voltage so conductor dimensions are unimportant. The unit captures up to 999,999 events before automatically resetting. Requiring no external power supply or internal battery for operation, the design of the LSC-7D includes a NEMA 4X/IP66, UV stabilized polycarbonate enclosure with surface mount flanges, which is UL94V-0 flame rated and suitable for either indoor or outdoor installation. Enclosures are built to provide protection against extreme environmental conditions and hazards.
Features & Benefits
- No Maintenance
- Easy to Install
- Easy to Monitor
- Provides Security
- Weather Resistant

Ex-racing driver Allan McNish has led the Formula E Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler squad as team principal since 2017. In mid-December 2018, the team will tackle the fifth season of the all-electric race series as the reigning champions. McNish concluded his career behind the steering wheel at the end of 2013. During his active time, the Scotsman advanced into Formula 1 and also contested the DTM. He was especially successful in endurance racing with Audi. Allan McNish won the Le Mans 24 Hours three times for the brand with the four rings, and was victorious at the Sebring 24 Hours four times. In 2013, he together with his Audi teammates Tom Kristensen and Loïc Duval became the world endurance champions.
What are the key lessons he learned in his first year on the job? What does Audi need to do in the upcoming 2018/2019 Formula E season to defend its team title? What are the differences between being a racing driver and team boss? Allan McNish answers these questions:
What Allan McNish has learned from his first season as a team principal: "To look after both drivers. Make sure you give them both the same opportunities. Another important lesson from the past season: always focus on the best possible solution when things aren't going so well."
What the Formula E team boss from Audi would do differently in the new season: "In compliance with the new Formula E regulations, we made many improvements to our new Audi e-tron FE05 compared to the previous model. Moreover, our drivers, Lucas di Grassi and Daniel Abt, will focus on all the parameters that they can further improve. The team is also concentrating on every possible area so that we become even better. And I also want to be better prepared for handling the unexpected. This was my biggest lesson last year: The one-day Formula E events are so intense that something unexpected always crops up. And more often than not, it's in the areas for which I'm responsible."
The differences between being a racing driver and a team boss: "As a team boss you have to talk a lot more. In addition to the marketing and media roles, which drivers do alongside their racing commitments, I also have to represent Audi at all the meetings of the team bosses, the manufacturers, the motorsport governing body FIA and the event promoter. To be totally honest, when I get home from the races, I'm more exhausted than I ever was as a racing driver."
The parallels between the two jobs: "Both have the ultimate goal: you have to win. In many ways, the road to victory is the same for drivers and team bosses. Racing drivers are extremely good at adapting and are therefore, quite frankly, suited to all types of business. A racing driver is accustomed to having to constantly perform and usually only has a contract for one season. That means you have to perform every day. If you don't do it, your successor will. To cope with being constantly under high pressure to perform is something that both drivers and team principals have in common."
How Allan McNish is still very much a racing driver at heart: "I very consciously ask myself: what do our two drivers need? As a racing driver myself, I've been in the exact same situations that Lucas and Daniel have to deal with today. Sometimes I catch myself watching them via the on-board camera: I'm driving with them, my mind is already preparing for the next overtaking manoeuvre and so on. I can't change anything in the pits, but I feel like I'm sitting in the cockpit myself. The fact is: the drivers have the toughest job. Out on the racetrack, they have to make split-second decisions, which can make the difference between winning and losing. And it's always easier to point the finger from the outside. But if, like me, you have the experience of what happens and can happen inside the cockpit, you're in a better position to discuss with the racing drivers on an equal footing."
How difficult it is for him not to drive: "It's okay for me. In fact, this was quite a surprise. It would have been understandable to think: 'If I were sitting in the car right now, then I'd do it like this or that.' But I've never actually thought this way. In this respect, watching is easy for me. But I still feel the same butterflies in my stomach before the start, the slight nervousness, as I did when I was a driver. Still, I don't want to climb into the cockpit again. That's why I don't drive our racing cars myself."
How different the feeling is at a presentation ceremony as a team boss: "The ceremonies from the previous 2017/2018 season were some of the proudest moments of my life. As a racing driver, it was always immensely satisfying to win and stand at the top of the podium. But like I said, racing drivers have to prove themselves again and again every day. As a team boss, where I worked towards scoring victories with my colleagues at the racetrack, at Audi Sport in Neuburg and at ABT Sportsline in Kempten, I experienced totally unexpected emotions, feelings I never had on the podium or at an event such as the FIA's end-of-year celebration. I didn't expect to be on the podium again. Hence, that made it all the more special to spray the champagne again."
Former team bosses who are Allan McNish's role models: "Three extraordinary men: Firstly, David Leslie, with whom I started racing cars after my karting days. He was inspired by pure passion for motorsport. At the end of my career it was Dr Wolfgang Ullrich, who was the Head of Audi Motorsport until the end of 2017. I very much appreciate his honesty. A handshake in 1999 sealed my switch to Audi. That carried as much weight as a written contract. It was something I regarded very highly. And during my active racing career, Jackie Stewart, my Scottish compatriot, was very important and motivating for me. Jackie has always been a trailblazing mentor to me. When I drove for his Formula 3000 team, his professionalism and his incredible attention to detail impressed and influenced me greatly. All three of these men were or are very different, but they all had or have one thing in common: A determination to win."
The decisive factors for Audi to again succeed in the 2018/2019 Formula E season: "Firstly, to perfectly prepare the cars and equipment for the races. Our new cars are now homologated by the FIA, which means they've been technically accepted. In accordance with the regulations, we can't make any major changes to them. More importantly, we have to be ready for anything that can happen and to cope with it."
"Secondly, we have to work as a team – even if only one of our drivers can ultimately become the drivers' champion at the end of the season, which causes competition within the team. We have two very fast and clever drivers, backed by our first-class development and test driver Nico Müller. I believe they have all understood the importance of team spirit at Audi. Because to finish first, you first have to finish. In the Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler team, we know exactly how we can achieve our goal of winning again. And we have to stick to this. The rest depends on how the competition goes."
Allan McNish's motto for the new Formula E season: "It's very simple: focus, focus, focus! We have to concentrate totally on the job. Winning the team championship in Formula E, which we managed to do last season, is history. History doesn't determine the future. The future is only determined by what you do in the here and now."

KJV Know the Word Study Bible
Study Bible
Thomas Nelson
The KJV Know the Word Study Bible offers three easy ways to begin studying Scripture and helps individuals transition from being a casual reader of the Bible to becoming a regular student of the Bible. You can choose to study the Bible book-by-book, verse-by-verse, or topic-by-topic; each path offers powerful insights that will help you develop a daily routine of Bible study. The book-by-book series of notes leads you through the main points of each book of the Bible. The verse-by-verse notes help you to dig deeper into God's Word. The topic-by-topic articles, which cover 21 theological topics, guide you through a series of insightful notes and give you a thorough biblical understanding of each topic. With the beautiful and timeless text of the KJV translation, the KJV Know the Word Study Bible offers you choices of how to study Scripture and grow in your relationship with Christ.
Features Include:
My thoughts (reviewed by Steve): Many people start the new year with the best of intentions. We call these "New Years Resolutions." And along with the list of "going on a diet," "losing weight," and "getting into shape by exercising regularly," some would add, "This is the year. This is the year that I'm going to FINALLY read my Bible through."
Ahhhhh . . . the best laid plans of mice and men! Wouldn't it be nice to have a game plan? Better yet, wouldn't it be nice to have some help? I mean . . . where does one start?
I highly recommend getting the KNOW THE WORD STUDY BIBLE. The statement on the cover is not just advertising hype: "GAIN A GREATER UNDERSTANDING OF THE BIBLE:"
Book by book. Verse by Verse. Topic by Topic. Now, why does that sound familiar?
" For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:" Isaiah 28:10 (KJV)
The KNOW THE WORD STUDY BIBLE adopts that very methodology. Whether you are wanting to do a complete book study, a topical study of major Bible themes, or a verse by verse study, this is the study Bible that you will find yourself reaching for again and again.
Attractive features include: textual notes and explanations, summaries of each book, STUDY THE BOOK highlights, tables of ancient monies, weights and measures and their modern equivalent, a more than adequate concordance, and of course a nice collection of maps. I always look for maps in a study Bible!
However you choose to use the KNOW THE WORD STUDY BIBLE, you will find yourself so engaged with the Scriptures that you won't even realize, "Oh! I'm reading the Bible!" Bible study will no longer be a chore, or an item on your "to-do" list. It will be the life-changing adventure that God intended it to be. As a bi-vocational pastor, this is one of my "go-to" references for sermon preparation as well as for devotional reading.
The KNOW THE WORD STUDY BIBLE comes in the KJV and the NKJV translations, hardback with beautifully designed jackets, imitation leather, and genuine leather options. The words of Jesus appear in red, and the two-color interior page design and thoughtful layout of the text and notes keeps the reader engaged.
5 stars for a Study Bible that lives up to its name.

Siberian and Arctic Studies
This year Tomsk State University (TSU), will launch a new Master's programme Siberian and Arctic Studies, which has no direct analogs in Russia. Its aim is to train professional researchers in the field of north and sub-polar environmental studies.
For many years TSU has been engaged in the study of the landscapes of Siberia, including the Arctic and sub-Arctic areas, which are a convenient platform for the study of climate change and human impact. Even today, Western Siberia is faced with powerful changes in the natural environment, which the other northern regions of the world will face in the near future, and the need for specialists with a wide range of knowledge about the region will definitely increase.
The programme includes more than 20 courses, including telmatology, hydrology, climatology, research methods of natural environments, and management of research stations. At first, students will learn about Siberia and the Arctic from the geographical point of view; some further courses are aimed at research methods of the biological, physical, and chemical properties of natural environments. Students can also choose an engineering, teaching, and even humanitarian specialization. In addition, from the beginning, students will be engaged in scientific research and their practice will be held at TSU research stations in the floodplain of the River Ob and in the Altai Mountains and Yamal peninsula.
Some courses will be read by world-known scientists and international experts. Among them are Dr Terry Callaghan, Professor at TSU and the University of Sheffield, who has worked for more than 40 years in Arctic ecology; Dr Vladimir Romanovsky, Vice President of the International Permafrost Association; and Dr Piotr Glowacki, the polar explorer from the Institute of Geophysics of the Polish Academy of Sciences. The programme leader is Dr Sergey Kirpotin, the manager is Ksenia Nikitchuk, +7 906 957 34 32, email@example.com

text: Materials used for making clothes generally have properties that are useful to people. Dresses can be categorised based on the season they are worn. Specific clothes are used when the temperature is high. This is unlike the materials that are worn during the winter season. One such material that is popularly worn during summer season is cotton. This is used worldwide in numerous styles of clothes. There are major benefits when this material is used in making clothes. The material is very versatile and provides a natural comfort to the person who wears it. Many people love the material because of its performance. Cotton shirts can be woven or knitted along with other materials or can be used as the only material. Cotton shirts are ideal for summer season as they absorb liquid. This helps in absorbing sweat and keeping people dry. This is the main reason why people feel comfortable wearing clothes made of pure cotton. People purchase clothes depending upon their preference and the mix of materials that are used are well informed to the people buying it. Pure cotton shirts online are available in most clothing stores. The price of the fabric decides the rate of the product.

As far as I'm concerned, it's never been a better time to be a consumer. We can shop anytime and everywhere—from our homes, at the store, or on the bus ride to work thanks to our handheld screen. We can interact with our favorite brands on our channels of choice—websites, mobile sites, and apps like Amazon or Yelp, and of course, via social media. If last week's announcement about Twitter testing its "Buy" button with big name brands is any indication, it's clear businesses are fully embracing the need to meet their customers wherever they are most.
This is all exciting and great for consumers. But multiple channels, platforms, and tweets are leading to an onslaught of new data that's overwhelming to creative, analytical, and methodical marketers alike. Each incremental increase in customer activity adds on a layer of complexity for marketers looking to understand their audiences, and engage them with content, offers, and actionable opportunities when it matters most. This challenge—harnessing big data to derive actionable insights—is what many companies across an array of industries are trying to address. It will only increase in importance as the smartphone becomes more ubiquitous, and new platforms arise (looking at you, Apple Watch).
When it comes down to it, TIBCO has been attacking the crux of these big data problems for years. Specializing in infrastructure and business intelligence software, our sweet spot is integrating some of the world's most complex systems to surface data-driven intelligence. It's about turning big data into Fast Data. About analyzing fast-moving transactions and interactions, understanding their context, and empowering businesses make better decisions ahead of the event. With the recent launch of TIBCO Engage, we're bringing this philosophy to marketing, capturing the essence of what real-time, personalized engagement with customers can truly be.
Imagine a world where a customer browses an online store, adds jeans to her basket, but never makes a purchase. The following week, when the customer walks past the storefront of this same business, she is sent a proactive push notification encouraging her to come inside, try on the jeans, and receive a 10 percent discount off that day's order.
Or consider another scenario, where a frequent traveler ends up with a long layover due to airline delays. Upon opening her Twitter feed with the purpose of sending a negative tweet about the airline, she is instead served up with a personal coupon for the nearest bistro in the terminal, along with drink coupons for the next flight.
And think about the ultimate brand fan—the sports fan—who is rewarded for his loyalty and game attendance with upgraded seats or a 20 percent discount on merchandise, triggered by knowledge of past purchases, upon arriving at the arena.
In all these instances, and in countless other daily interactions, TIBCO has visibility into customer behavior and tendencies, company inventory and assets, and situational awareness—all of which are now available to marketers seeking to deliver meaningful experiences in context.
Not only is the engagement personalized and relevant, its real-time nature brings a new wave of value. It's this instantaneous effect that sets TIBCO Engage apart—the power to engage customers in real time as they interact on the Web, at a storefront, or on a mobile device, and based on data-driven insights derived from cross-platform customer behavior.
Fueled by these emerging technologies and capabilities, marketers will be able to understand, reach, and engage with customers on a more personalized level, even at the massive scales we're seeing today. And luckily for CMOs and the teams they manage, all signs are pointing toward continued growth in marketing budgets and more room at the table alongside CIOs when it comes to decisions about technology upgrades and investments.

When you're pregnant, all sorts of questions seem to pop up -things that, until now, probably never crossed your mind. Is it OK to dye your hair? What about sitting in a hot tub? Can I have sex during pregnancy? Here are some answers to commonly asked questions :
It's easy to panic if you fall during pregnancy, but your body is designed to protect your developing baby. An injury would have to be severe enough to seriously hurt you before it would directly harm your baby. The walls of your uterus are thick, strong muscles that help keep your baby safe. The amniotic fluid also serves as a cushion. In addition, during the early weeks of pregnancy, the uterus is tucked behind the pelvic bone, so there's even more protection.
When you use hair dye, a small amount of the dye may penetrate your skin. Generally, however, the dye isn't thought to pose harm to a developing baby. Few studies have examined women's use of hair dye before and during pregnancy. A 2005 study suggested a possible association between hair dye used during pregnancy and certain childhood cancers, but other studies haven't reached the same conclusion. Most researchers say it's unlikely that use of hair products before or during pregnancy increases the risk of childhood brain tumors.
It may surprise you, but having an X-ray during pregnancy is generally considered safe. In most cases, the benefits of the X-ray outweigh the potential risks. When you have an abdominal X-ray during pregnancy, your developing baby is exposed to radiation. If the radiation causes changes in your baby's rapidly growing cells, it's possible that your baby could be at a slightly higher risk of birth defects or illnesses, such as leukemia, later in life.
Devices such as these use a form of electromagnetic energy called radio frequency energy, which consists of waves of electric and magnetic energy moving through space. The radiation that comes from these devices is different from and much less than the radiation that comes from X-rays.
Although most women can safely have sex throughout pregnancy, sometimes it's best to be cautious. Your health care provider may recommend avoiding sex if:
As long as you're comfortable, most sexual positions are OK during pregnancy. As your pregnancy progresses, experiment to find what works best. Rather than lying on your back, you might want to lie next to your partner sideways or position yourself on top of your partner or in front of your partner.
Your developing baby is protected by the amniotic fluid in your uterus, as well as the mucous plug that blocks the cervix throughout most of your pregnancy. Sexual activity won't affect your baby.
Many couples worry that sex during pregnancy will cause a miscarriage, especially in the first trimester. But sex isn't a concern. Early miscarriages are usually related to chromosomal abnormalities or other problems in the developing baby, not to anything you do or don't do.
These scanners work in two ways. One type uses nonionizing electromagnetic radiation (millimeter waves), a form of energy similar to that used in radar images and radio signals. This type of radiation, which has been used for a century, has no known health effects. The other type of scanner uses "back scatter" ionizing radiation, which exposes an individual to a very weak X-ray signal. The radiation emitted from the scanner is weak enough that the X-ray doesn't penetrate the body.
DEET, the active ingredient in many common insect repellents, is generally safe as long as you follow the manufacturer's instructions. DEET provides effective protection against mosquito- and tick-transmitted diseases, such as West Nile virus and Lyme disease. The benefits of avoiding these illnesses generally exceed the risks of the small amount of DEET that might enter your bloodstream through your skin.
Regular use of normal household cleaners hasn't been shown to harm a developing baby. Still, it's a good idea to stay away from oven cleaners that emit strong fumes in a contained space. And, pregnant or not, don't mix chemicals such as ammonia and bleach because the combination can produce toxic fumes.
In general, avoid exposme to oil based paints, lead and mercury, all of which may be found in old paints that you may be stripping from surfaces. Also avoid other substances that have solvents, such as paint removers. Even if you're just painting a small room or piece of baby furnitme, be careful.
Toxoplasmosis is an infection that can threaten the health of an unborn child. It's caused by a parasite called Toxoplasma gondii. The parasite multiplies in the intestine of cats and is shed in cat feces, mainly into litter boxes and garden soil. You can get the parasite by handling cat litter or soil where there are cat feces. You can also get the parasite from eating undercooked meat (such as rare beef) from animals infected with the parasite.
Dental health during pregnancy isn't a glamorous topic, but it's an important one. Misconceptions and misinformation about dental health during pregnancy are common and often these issues aren't discussed at prenatal appointments. Common dental health problems during pregnancy include the following
Tooth decay : During pregnancy, in creased acidity in the mouth increases the risk of tooth decay. Vonuting during pregnancy can aggravate the problem by exposing the teeth to more gastric acid.

Natural hair care can be a headache at times, but healthy, bouncy hair is always worth it in the end. The journey to healthy natural hair consists of much product sampling, and a lot of trails and errors to find the perfect routine or routines to maintain your curls.
Have you noticed how curls are coiled like DNA? Well, like our DNA, not every curly head is like the other. There's a reason why there are hundreds of curl routines on the internet; no two curly heads are the same. Even the same person might have several routines to follow. I'm one of those people.
Last time we discussed my beginners/travelers routine, today's routine involves some high-end brands, and a lot splurge. Accordingly, I do save this one for special occasions: a new job, a party, etc…I also save it for when I feel my hair needs a switch up of products. I find my hair needs a switch up from time to time. Hey, hair is a living thing! It gets bored, too!
You can find all the upcoming Kerastase products in high-end hairdressers and Al Sagheer Boutiques.
Step 1: Cleansing
Cleansing, not shampooing. Remember sulfates are bad! Kerastase has another, supposedly "curly hair" line, but that one has sulfates. It's these 2 cleansers that they'd released recently that are actually sulphate-free. You just use either of them as you would a regular shampoo.
Optional Step: Deep Conditioning
Depending on the state of your hair; if you have very dry, damaged hair, you could deep condition your locks. If you want the maximum benefit of deep conditioning, keep the cream in your hair overnight [or for an equivalent amount of time]. I know it says 5 minutes on the packaging, but its way more beneficial when you keep it in longer. Don't believe me? Remember when your hairdresser used to make you an amazing "hammam cream"? Well they'd use deep conditioners, with heat to intense the effects, to get you going in around 30 minutes. Since we don't have those fancy heat things at home, we make up for it by time. The Kerastase deep conditioner here is silicone-free.
The Bonawell hair treatment is one of my old favourites that really does treat your hair, and the apricot version leaves it smelling amazing. Personally, I find any deep conditioner to be better than none when you have dry, damaged hair.
Step 2: Leave-in Cream
Flip you hair to the front and dry hair by cupping curls in a towel. Then smooth the leave in conditioner on to the dry, frizzy parts of your hair. Scrunch the product from the ends, towards the scalp. The quantity of product you use varies according to the thickness and density of your hair, but it's better to start with small quantities as you'll probably be using the product for re-styling throughout the week.
My verdict on the top products:
My all-time favourite, and I can't emphasise this enough, is the Kiehl's Strengthening and Hydrating Hair Oil-in-Cream. It's amazing. It's sulphate, silicone, and paraben free. It styles my curls. I can re-use it every day without worrying about it clumping or overloading my hair. I can even use it for styling my hair sleek when I need a tight bun, as it keeps the frizz down. It's a miracle cream. The bad part: I don't find it in Egypt! So, I scarcely use this product as I have to buy it while traveling only!
The Macadamia Hair Healing Oil Spray, is another one of my favourites. I like it as a light daily nourishment for my curls, and it adds shine on those dull hair days. However, it's another product that is very hard to find; even more than the Kiehl's cream. Currently, I have a limited amount, so I'm being very sparse with it. But if I don't find it soon, sadly I'll be out of reach to this amazing product.
The Kerastase Crème Magistrale is a conventional alternative to the other products that I can't find locally. It's a good nutritive alright, but a bit on the heavy side, so I do advise you to lighten it up with an oil like jojoba before daily application.
You might have noticed I did not recommend any curl enhancing creams so far. That's because I find curl defining products more drying than styling. I strongly prefer nourishing leave-in creams to curl defining ones. The Kerastase Crème Oleo-Curl is my least favourite on this list since I feel it doesn't nourish as well as the rest, but to be fair it is the only curl defining cream that does not dry out my hair. It helps when I can't find the others. Sometimes I switch up between this one & the Crème Magistrale since this one is not on the nutritional side of leave-ins, but more of a curl defining cream.
Well, that's my splurge routine. It's quite flexible, so I think almost everyone can work around it. If all else fails and you simply can't afford these high-end products, check our other routines for more pocket-friendly alternatives.
What do you think?
What are your favourite luxury products that you can't help splurging on?
