It’s a number that tells the story of your credit history and can greatly affect your ability to obtain a loan or a credit card. Ranging between 300 and 850, a credit score is used as the indicator of how financially stable a person is. Those on the low end of the range often have a damaged credit history as a result of simple factors including a history of late or missed payments, too-high credit utilization rates and continuous, revolving debt.
Review your credit score regularly through free credit monitoring sites such as Credit Karma.
Request a copy of your credit report from all three national credit bureaus (Experian, TransUnion and Equifax) once per year so you can analyze what is presented. Dispute any errors as soon as you notice them.
Understand your credit use ratio. Aim to use less than 30% of the total credit available to you.
Pay down any debt – even if you missed a payment in the past. Bring all old payments current as soon as possible.
Set up an automatic payment schedule to avoid unnecessary late fees.
Diversify your credit. Having a mix of cards and ensuring to pay each off by the due date every month can help prove to lenders you are responsible.
Ask for a credit limit increase on cards which will lower your overall credit utilization rate provided you stay within your spending means.
Don’t close unused cards which have a zero-annual fee. This can lessen your credit history.
Keep in mind that while income is separate from a credit score, your credit score will still determine whether you are approved for a loan and at what interest rate.
Aim to build an emergency fund with three to six months’ worth of living expenses set aside for any unexpected emergencies to ensure you can continue to make timely payments.
Make sure to increase your financial knowledge. Suffolk Federal also offers a Financial Empowerment: Online Workshop which enables individuals of all levels to develop strong financial skill-sets to successfully take control of and manage their finances in an effective manner. To learn more about Suffolk Federal’s financial literacy programs, visit suffolkfcu.org/financial-literacy-program today.
Once you begin an effective program to gain control of your credit score, it may take a few months before you see an increase in the score. Remember to be proactive and take control. Being informed, utilizing the tools available and making positive credit decisions on an ongoing basis will help you to effectively manage your financial footing and place you back in a positive light.

Axonom announces it has earned Microsoft Co-Sell Ready status through the Microsoft One Commercial Partner Program. Powertrak CPQ and Virtual Reality is now available in the Microsoft partner catalog for manufacturers requiring quoting, ordering, and product configuration solutions - that also extend to virtual reality experiences.
The Co-Sell partnership with Microsoft provides its field sales teams with an award-winning suite of cloud-based configure-price-quote (CPQ) solutions to enhance Microsoft Dynamics 365 and its legacy CRM, GP, NAV, and AX products. Axonom's Powertrak CPQ suite includes guided selling, 2D and 3D visual product configurators, web portals, and virtual reality experiences of 3D configurations.
Scott Bekker, Editor in Chief at the Redmond Channel Partner interviewed Gavriella Schuster, Corporate Vice President, One Commercial Partner, Microsoft. When discussing about packaging Microsoft solutions with a partner's offering, Schuster comments, "[We're] taking the end solution that a partner has built on the Microsoft technology that really meets the customer demand more specifically and bringing that partner in to sell with us to those business decision makers."
Axonom has been a long-standing Microsoft partner for over 15 years with numerous certifications, competencies, and awards. We have met Microsoft standards for years, but new to this program. There were a number of benchmarks that we needed to hit to be included in the co-selling program. Some involving proven competency and capability, as well as having the right types of employees in the appropriate geographies.
Manufacturers that leverage Microsoft Dynamics now have a powerful, complementary solution suite to streamline complex, multi-option configurations with quoting and ordering automation.
Powertrak 2D and 3D Product Configurator not only ensures that quotes, orders, and configurations are completed quickly and accurately, but life-like visuals give the prospective customer the confidence to build their desired product.
2D drawings and 3D product models combined with interactive drag-and-drop technology helps the customer "see" the design to become fully engaged in the buying process.
Visualization is a key component in the buying process but virtual reality may be considered the "closer." Powertrak Virtual Reality differentiates how manufacturers communicate, educate, and present their products.
Immersive Virtual Reality gives the prospective customer the most realistic experience to visualize the product in a particular setting.
VR shows that your company is technologically advanced and demonstrates that you're investing in tools to improve the customer buying experience.
VR is more impactful and leaves a memorable impression compared to handing out catalogs, brochures, and sell sheets.
Axonom is leading the CPQ market by showcasing manufacturers using visual product configurators and virtual reality solutions. Take a look at our press releases and case studies to learn how manufacturers are using visual and virtual solutions to improve the education and selling of configurable products through a complex network of sales reps, partners, distributors, and resellers.

Bark collars punish your dog for barking by emitting an irritating, high-pitched sound, a spray of citronella, or delivering a painful static shock via metal prongs on your dog’s neck. The collar detects sound and (sometimes, vibration from your dog’s vocal cords) and delivers a punishment when your dog barks.
If the level of correction is mild, the dog may choose to bark despite it. Some collars increase the power of the punishment if the dog continues barking, until they are finally subdued.
Can bark collars work stop yappy dogs from barking? Absolutely.
Should you use one if you’re at the end of your rope, and need to get your dog to stop barking lest your landlord kick you out, or you have to rehome your dog? Learn the facts and decide for yourself.
You strap a bark collar to your dog, and you fit it carefully to ensure that the metal prongs are protruding past her fur, pushing into the soft skin of her neck. Or, you make sure the “box” is below her nose so she’ll get a faceful of citronella spray when she barks.
Then, she’s sitting by the window and spots the mailman, dropping off a delivery. Her heartbeat accelerates, and she goes into “alert mode.” Her instinct to protect her family and home kick in. She opens her mouth to speak up, and lets out a bold, powerful bark.
Suddenly she’s in pain, or overwhelmed with a powerful spray of a scent that stops her cold. She barks again, and she’s punished again.
She makes the association – that when a stranger comes to the door, and she barks, she will be punished.
She will not suddenly “understand” that barking is bad, or that it annoys you, or pisses off your landlord. She only understands that bad things happen to her when she barks.
Alternatively, she might be wearing her bark collar when you leave the house. She hasn’t been properly introduced to her crate, and the idea of being alone, so naturally, she barks, because she knows that sometimes gets your attention. Again, she’s punished, and associates not only barking, but the situation with a punishment. She may get a warning beep on her first bark, so the fear of punishment will keep her silent, rather than an actual shock or spray, this time.
She’s still on alert when strangers arrive, her heartbeat rapid, her nerves on edge. She’s still unbearably lonely when you leave – now, just silent.
A Cornell University study of just 8 dogs showed that, while half of the dogs continued to bark despite static corrections from a shock collar, all of them stopped barking when wearing a citronella collar. However, the citronella collar was triggered by the sounds of other dogs barking, and one dog owner reported that it stained their furniture.
Shock collars, in general, have been shown to have long and short-term consequences: fear and aggression. With a device that isn’t 100% accurate in delivering corrections at the appropriate time, there’s an even higher risk of fallout.
Most of the time, a dog barks when she thinks she needs to be on alert, but 99.9% of the time, she’s wrong. In that other .01% of the time, you’re in danger, or your house is being broken into – and her bark can scare away a criminal.
She needs her bark to communicate that she’s scared, on alert or angry.
Without her bark, she’ll express herself in the next best way possible – by resorting to attack.
If her issue is barking related to separation anxiety, her anxiety can cause her to destroy items in your home, have accidents, or chew her paws or tail to the point of rawness.
If you’re here, you’ve already noticed that this is a blog post against the use of bark collars – and you’re still listening. If you use or have considered using a bark collar, you’re not alone, nor are you a bad dog owner.
It’s tough to have a dog that barks, especially when you’re not around when it happens. Your neighbors may be complaining. Your landlord may be threatening to evict you. You want to keep your dog.
But there are still better options, with fewer risks of causing other behavioral problems.
Positive reinforcement training can take weeks, even months, but the results are long-lasting, and you won’t need batteries or refills to keep up the good work.
It’s important to prioritize the reason behind your dog’s bark, rather than focusing on the noise they make, even when their bark is causing troubles for you.
A dog that is not aggressive can actually be provoked to attack if they experience a punishing shock when they are trying to warn off a visitor or intruder. This is known as redirected aggression – the dog’s natural response is to attack whatever is causing it pain, and when it cannot attack the bark collar, they may redirect their aggression to the nearest target – an individual that they believe is dangerous.
It’s ideal for your dog to bark once or twice to warn and alert. They should be able to settle down once you give them the “quiet” cue. Expecting your dog to be silent when people come to your house is unreasonable, especially for breeds designed to guard and alert: Chihuahuas, Dobermans, Rottweilers, Scotties and Westies, to name just a few.
This puts your dog into a habit of being able to focus on you, even when they’re engaged in alert. This is important because dogs look to us in uncertain situations. They’re reassured when they see that we’re calm.
Take a walk around the block, go back home, and watch the video. What does your dog do when you’re not home for a short time?
If they’re staring out the window, try window film, curtains, or take any other measure that will block their view. Windows stress dogs out.
Try the exercise again, doing whatever you can to get a relaxed, quiet dog when you’re gone for just 10 minutes or so… without a bark collar.
When your dog’s barking problem is due to people ringing your doorbell, you’re in luck – you have a lot of training options, and since you’re home when this happens, there’s a lot you can do to quickly solve the problem.
Your dog barks at the mailman to make him go away. Since the mailman has a route to tend to, your dog’s actually right – he will go away if she barks.
Your mailman likely comes at the same hour each day. Or, you can practice with a friend.
Hang out in the same room as your dog, and actively train her. Ask her to do all of her favorite tricks, and give her lots of praise and treats.
As the mailman walks up to your house, rapidly click and treat – or just praise your dog and treat her – from the time the mailman or friend walks up to your mailbox to the time they leave. If your dog is especially alert, you may have to give her small bites of bacon, rapidly, for this entire time. Ideally, you start before she can start barking, and she can go the entire visit without barking once. If she does, that’s okay.
The important thing is that you do not fall into that tired routine of having your dog bark and yelling at her.
Dogs depend on us to tell them how to react to situations. When we remain calm and continue training despite a visitor, our dog realizes that visitors are nothing to stress over. When we yell at our dogs for barking, they don’t always realize we’re yelling at them – they instead anticipate a high-stress situation whenever visitors come, and can’t help but bark when someone arrives.
I could never spray, shock or yell my dogs into shutting up, no matter how annoying they can be. When I look into those brown eyes, I feel their innocence, their love and their trust. I understand that not everyone is a mush like I am.
But this is not just about ethics.
Training your dog not to bark addresses the reason for their reaction. It’s how you can reduce their anxiety and need to alert. It’s how you can stop barking without recharging a device every week, or buying refills of a stinky spray.
Truth: There’s no quick fix to stop a dog from barking. There never will be.
To me, a “woof” is a beautiful thing.
In 15 years or so, when your dog is merely a memory and a box of ashes from the vet, there’s nothing you won’t do to hear that “woof” again.
So, please take the time to train your dog so she will know what to do instead of barking. It’s so worth the time, and once you learn to do it with one dog, you’ll always have those positive training skills to help every dog in your life learn to be calm, quiet and happy.
Mine doesn’t bark all that much, but I always feel guilty seeing him struggling with any kind of restraints. Fortunately, I did not have to use this collar bark thing.
My dog barks at my neighbor because he is mean to her. Now he has called animal control because she won’t let him enjoy his back yard. For now I lock her in the house while I’m gone. That’s a long time for her to hold her bladder. Any ideas of how to get her to ignore him? Would completely blocking her view help?
That’s awful to hear! But as long as your girl has access to water and the weather isn’t a problem, animal control probably won’t do anything. In the meantime, save any texts, emails, voicemails, just in case you’ll need them in the future. Depending on how mean this guy is, he could kidnap her, try to poison her, so I wouldn’t leave her outside unattended regardless. As for her bladder, would she use potty pads or something like a BarkPotty? Or could you section off part of your yard into a small dog run? I’m not sure if blocking her view would help because noises could set her off, too.
My neighbor suggests me a dog bark collar a couple of days ago because my dog barks at my neighbor. So I am thinking about a bark collar though my dog does not bark a lot and not at all people. You have shared some good bark collars, I will try one of them. Thanks for sharing!

I am a visual person with a prime lens and a Magic Cloth and years of practice.
I am so crazy about Iceland landscapes, they force me to photograph them and I believe that Icelandic Landscapes teach one photography. That is unless you are caught in a deep meditation with the gigantic natural powers that cradle the North Atlantic Rock.
I am like a tiny ant running around with a huge lens, sharing my perspective with the world and beyond. It is kind of meaningless, yet incredibly important at the same time and men will argue for many years to come whether landscape photography was ever useful or noble at all.
I am so happy that you were able to find my collection of images, they might look nice on your wall or fridge and although it is just a photograph to you, it is a pretty big deal for me.
Just thanks for visiting and may your visit varnish your sleep with dreams of ice and auroras... they might even take you to Iceland.

(October 2015 update – the set lunch menus had been changed since our visit. We have a picture of the Oct 2015 menu at the end of this post).
Located on a prime spot on the ground floor of Westgate, Zaffron Kitchen is an impressive restaurant serving North and South Indian cuisine. It is situated along the main thoroughfare that runs through the mall and right in front of the pathway that leads to the neighbouring Jem mall. At lunchtime, Zaffron offers some reasonably prized and tasty set lunches. We were there to try them recently.
The restaurant looks very good both from the exterior and inside. The high ceiling makes the place feel airy and the full glass windows bathe the place in indirect natural light. Bright but not sunny – perfect for our type of weather. A large bar counter dominates the dining area as you enter. The floor is laid with geometric tiles in earthly tones lending a sense of warmth to the place.
The lunch sets range from $12.90 for a Curry Chicken Prata set to a Mutton Rogan Josh set ($16.90). We ordered the latter and a Tandoori Naan set ($14.90). The ordering system using an iPad was simple and convenient.
Both sets are served with plain naan, biryani rice, papadum and raita (a yogurt based condiment). The rogan josh was a strong lamb curry dish. You can sense the numerous spices and herbs that had gone into this dish. It is mildly spicy. A very good curry to go with the rice and naan if you like full-bodied, robust flavours.
The tandoori set has the same side dishes as the rogan dosh. Instead of the lamb curry, you get two pieces of tandoori chicken and a portion of curry chicken gravy. The curry is also mildly spicy which is good because you can get to taste its flavours. It is a lighter curry than the lamb and is likely to find favour with a wider audience. The tandoori chicken were tender. Slightly dry but quite acceptable.
As part of the meal, you get a drink as well. We had the tea halia (ginger tea) and we highly recommend it. It is prepared and served with sugar. If you (like us) prefer the tea with less or no sugar, you can enter your preference into the iPad as part of the order.

New regulations are in effect for 2015 in South Dakota regarding the transportation of fish and bait.
The Department of Game, Fish and Parks is reminding anglers to not bring any lake water away from the lake. Any bait transported away from the lake must be taken in domestic or bottled water. This includes the short trip from the lake or boat to a cleaning station. Anglers must dump lake water back into the lake and bring bait in a container to a place where domestic water is available. Tap water is often available at fish cleaning stations.
State law bans the dumping of minnows into any body of water. Minnows should be dumped into fish grinders or into a trash can at the dock or cleaning stations.
The new regulations are part of the GFP's effort to stop invasive species in the state. More information is available at SDLeastWanted.com.
"As much information as we provided up front on the implementation of these new regulations, we know there are still going to be questions," said Kelly Hepler, GFP Secretary. "I would encourage people to call our offices or ask a GFP employee if they are in any way uncertain of how to comply with these new regulations. We are trying to ensure everyone who wants to enjoy South Dakota's waters can do so with the confidence that they know these new rules. These are big changes and our staff are a great resource and willing to help field customer concerns."

Brochures Books & Booklet Printing Leeds - Order Print Online - Mail Boxes Etc.
The power of the printed word comes across perfectly when you print it in a book or booklet designed to your own specification. At Mail Boxes Etc. Leeds we can produce books and booklets of all sizes and styles, portrait or landscape, and in a range of finishes. Whether you want to publish the results of some research, a company report, school leavers’ yearbook or a short run edition of poems or short stories, producing your own book or booklet can be cheaper than you think, and the results are always stunning.
In the print industry, the number of pages in a book means the number of ‘sides’ of paper – imagine you are reading a book with numbered pages starting at page number 1, then turning the page to get to page 2 on the other side, and so on. When printing and binding a book or booklet, there needs to be a total number of pages which is divisible by four. The minimum number of pages is eight – four pages of text and a four-page cover (the cover can be the same material as the text if required – known as ‘self-cover’ booklet printing). When ordering, please let us know the total number of pages including the four-page cover.

If you have more specific comments on one of the blog’s posts or articles I encourage you to leave them on the page in question, as it helps to keep the discussion focused and encourages others to do likewise.
Phil, OMG You have some excellent ideas!
It’s really an ethnicity and a culture, not a mutation. They are huge and tough because they are born and raised on G1 planets while ancestors were adapted to crushing punishing high grav toxic environment. Like an average human born in low G.
F ing brilliant. Suddenly I respect the whole Ogryn concept.
? A convenient & very plausible reason all the gaming maps have 2-square-wide corridors!
Dammm spot on, that makes it work efficiently enough to actually WORK, without necessarily removing grimdark. The classic terrible overcrowded slums of the great hive planets idea still works even with the ideal ecoria since the huge block is mostly food production and STILL can only support like 8 people per villa. Very easy to overcrowd actually. Goofy humans.
Ooooh nice sophisticated expansion on the “machine god” concept. Of course they don’t explain in detail to uncouth outsiders. And with loss of higher -level implants, then yes, even the magi can only access “instinctive” and fairly basic utilitarian knowledge about the tech they themselves use. ??? totally works.
I myself had been wondering HOW in heck you can have a specific land raider in service for *several thousand years* and not have the AdMech or techmarines actually understand engineering. Well they understand basic physics and metallurgy and stuff but apparently chant gibberish and hammer things with wrenches? What, GW? – No, as you say, what looks like barbaric superstition is really trance-inducing ritual, actually required to access external memory.
In a way they are all severely handicapped by the implant culture: without it they would have been forced to discover and learn advanced skills etc and then have more actual personal knowledge. But the implants also provide vastly broader, if shallower, knowledge, plus a connection to the cloud that really does connect – distantly- to the Omnissiah. So in actual use, even the limited implants are indispensable.
YES with a capital YES.
The whole fear OF machines (that Asimov tried to overcome 60 years ago for Ghod’s sake) is a pretty movie-executive plot line. Yours is MUCH more likely.
The computer sentience provides and controls Such advanced tech, for FREE (cuz money doesn’t even make sense really), and bam, human civilization collapses! Realistic (and hilarious. And sad)… so humans instantly enslaved to benevolent computers. Hey, they thought that was a win-win.
The flaw is we are just advanced organic animals and need conflict to continue to evolve. Meh.
That is so obvious, why did I keep glossing over the thought before?
The fluff SAYS, and has for decades, that the AdMech is not so much a “department” of the Imperium as an ally. They are kind of a separate, but symbiotic, empire.
Then today’s AdMech really IS a separate empire, *bigger* than the Imperium, and in fact the Imperium is only ONE of several of ITS supporting symbiotes.
Mind officially blown, thank you.
Just one more thing: I can use your ideas in my fics as long as I give credit, right?

If your target customer base seems to be a little more frugal than ever, you may be wondering if there is a future for your business. Luckily, most customers never get tired of spending other people’s money, no matter what the economy happens to be doing. There are two major ways for the average small business to tap in to this under-recognized market: by offering gift registries, and by marketing to other businesses.
People routinely register for a variety of events, from baby showers to weddings. The trend seems to be gaining strength, with many major websites offering registries for house warmings, birthdays, and even seasonal holidays. People who aren’t inclined to spend their own money seem to have fewer qualms about telling others which gifts they would enjoy. This means that offering a registry can be a substantial boon to your bottom line.
Large corporations have long been offering registries and business services because they know something that many small business owners don’t: that everyone enjoys spending other people’s money far more than they enjoy spending their own. Now is the time to get creative and to aggressively offer options that allow customers to stay on budget while partaking of your products.
Whether you are running a baby boutique or a travel agency, you can make this fad work in your favor. Allow customers to register for gifts, presenting your company as a less commercial and more local option. If you sell larger items or services, allow people to contribute money in lieu of a gift. For example, many travel agencies have found success in allowing a couple to ‘register’ for a luxury honeymoon. Instead of asking for standard gifts and house wares, the couple asks for contributions toward their trip. Getting creative can mean that your customer base gets what they really want for these occasions without having to spend a dime.
Another benefit of this approach is that it brings new people into your location. These people will interact with your staff, see your logo design, and encounter your brand in a highly personal way. If you offer a pleasant experience, many of these people will be more likely to return in the future when they need your services for themselves.
A similar way of promoting your business is by marketing to mid-level managers and executives. People in these positions often make financial decisions on a daily basis—with their employer’s money. Offering incentives that are meaningful to this market and a more streamlined buying process, along with a price that won’t incur the wrath of the boss, is the key to pulling in this market. If you are not reaching out to this segment through direct mailings and other targeted advertisements, you may be missing out on a healthy profit.
Are you encouraging customers to spend other people’s money at your business? This is an often overlooked area that can pad your profit margins while getting more exposure for your brand and bringing new customers through your doors. Desperate times call for creative marketing, so figure out a way to make this trend work for your business.

Why a course on listening skills?
First of all, let's say that listening is a physiological function, and stimuli from the surrounding environment, the frantic rhythm of today's lifestyle and the growing desire to prevail by raising one's voice are progressively impairing it.
The course aims at helping learners to improve their listening skills, efficiently and effectively acquiring the information in order to achieve specific goals, while maintaining control of communications.
People determined to improve their communication skills may find this course engaging: the course is extremely useful in any kind of negotiation and teamwork, R&D, problem solving, conflict management and in any situation where communication is key.
What about in private life? In my experience, the course is very useful here too.
The course should take about 4 hours to complete.

Lisa, a 20-year-old German, was murdered in her apartment three weeks ago. The police raided the suspect’s apartment after finding him and while searching him found a tattoo with the name of the victim and the date of the murder.
A murder mystery in Europe was solved due to surprising evidence. A tattoo with the date of the victim’s murder was found on the suspect’s body.
Spanish police arrested the suspect of murdering his girlfriend, a 20-year-old German girl by the name of Lisa, after the German police in Bavaria first suspected him. The German police located the suspect after he took out money from an automated teller machine (ATM) in Spain and issued a warrant for his arrest in Europe before he had the chance to escape to North Africa.
Lisa’s mother found her body last week in an apartment on the border of the Czech Republic and police estimated that it was there for 3 weeks. During the investigation, police also discovered that the victim’s phone was taken from her to continue her activities on social media in order to deceive the investigators.

Swing sets and backyard play sets are a wonderful way for children to get some exercise, develop gross motor skills, spend some time outdoors, and burn off energy. But they need to be set up properly and used according to the directions, otherwise accidents can and do occur.
Possible injuries caused by swing sets include cuts, bruises, pinches, sprains and strains, broken bones, head injuries like concussions, and even death. Accidental falls and strangulation are the most likely causes of injuries, but all injuries are easily preventable by supervising your child to ensure mindfulness and caution when playing.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) estimates that there were 46,860 reported cases of injuries to children under the age of 18 caused by at-home swings and swing sets that were treated at hospitals in the United States in 2014. The CPSC estimates that about 15 children die each year due to playground equipment-related accidents.
The number of actual injuries caused by swing sets is likely to be quite higher than this, as the data from the CPSC reporting system only looked at those injuries that resulted in medical treatment at 100 participating hospitals. Minor injuries, which were likely treated at home or at another medical treatment facility, were not included in the reporting data.
When it comes to swing sets and backyard play sets, parents should always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use, including proper staking and maximum weight and child limits. Proper installation and close adult supervision is essential for preventing injuries. The CPSC offers an online resource with tips for safe outdoor play equipment use at home.
Whenever possible, look for certification by a safety authority such as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and be sure to inspect your swing set regularly and maintain appropriately.

Which Green Choice is Better- Lighters or Matches?
My son and I were discussing whether lighters or matches were a greener choice. It came up at a party we had the other night and people were divided on which choice was greener.
We recently stopped buying disposable lighters because of the plastic involved and my abhorrence for anything disposable. We had switched to kitchen matches for lighting candles and/or the grill. A friend pointed out that matches has fairly toxic because of all the chemicals used to make them.
After seeing photos like these of baby albatross chicks who’ve ingested plastic lighters, I decided that would never buy another one of those things.
Albatross chicks on Midway Island, thousands of miles from civilization, swallow plastic bottle caps, plastic toys, and plastic lighters. And even if plastic lighters don’t end up inside an unsuspecting animal, they’ll still wind up lasting forever in a landfill.
Here’s what I found out about wooden matches; The wood comes from Aspen or poplar and is impregnated with ammonium phosphate and paraffin wax…. The heads are a mixture of potassium chlorate with animal glue together with inert materials to moderate combustion and minor amounts of red amorphous phosphorus and colorants.
Sounds like an awful lot of chemicals compared to butane. So much for that being a better choice.
So I dove in and researched the issue. I reached the decision that neither wooden matches or a disposable lighter were the answer. Cardboard, book matches are too small, hard to use and still come packaged in plastic.
I decided that a refillable lighter was the way I would go! I already use only beeswax candles and oil burners for lanterns, so considering that I would use a lighter mostly for lighting candles and lanterns, and for camping, this is what I will get!
IMCO Lighters– IMCO is the second oldest operational lighter manufacturer in the world, second only to Ronson in the USA. In 1907 Vienna, Julius Meister founded the Austrian button and hardware factory Julius Meister & Co. “IMCO” was created from these initials. The factory initially mainly produced buttons for the military. After WW I, there was no longer a demand for these and so, from 1918 onwards, IMCO switched to the production of cigarette lighters. In the early days, these were made of empty cartridge cases. The shape of the cartridges could still be seen in the forms of the early IMCO lighters. The first IMCO lighter was developed between 1918 and 1919 and in 1922 the first patent was registered, No. 89538. Since then, around 70 different lighters have been developed and sold worldwide. The Austrian lighter industry entered the 20th century as market leader, for the flint lighter (“Auermet”) was also created by the Austrian Auer von Welsbach. Among the enormous number of firms operating today, there are sadly now only two providing Austrian quality in the sector.
The windscreens on the Super Triplex help light up on a windy day. Light them without touching a spark wheel. The Juniors and still work great outdoors since the base of the flame is protected. Great for camping, hiking, lighting cookstoves, pipes, grills, candles, etc. These are affordable and the only thing I will need to ever buy again will be lighter fluid and flints!
The IMCO is the one I will go with as I like their choices, durability and history!

With ever popular Viking-inspired series such as Game of Thrones and The Last Kingdom, it’s no wonder that Norway has become one of the most sought-after travel destinations of 2018.
It's a stunningly beautiful country with strong Nordic traditions and vast opportunities for exploration. For the luxury traveller, consider the small ship fjord cruises such as Tauck’s seven-day voyage from Bergen to Oslo.
The adventure traveller can research GAdventure’s trekking itinerary, which follows in the footsteps of Leif Eriksson and traces the volatile Viking history.
Insight Vacations offers many tours ranging from 13-29 days. Wonderfully immersive opportunities to learn more about this vibrant and culturally rich county.
Norway was voted “Best Place to Live on the Planet” in 2015. Well paying jobs, spectacular health-care and clean, fresh air were but three of the qualifications that placed them first out of 200 countries.
The capital city is Oslo. Best known for it’s green spaces and wonderful museums and architecture, Oslo is also fast becoming an international destination for its eclectic summer music festivals.
Cosmopolitan coffee houses and a cutting-edge restaurant scene is putting a new twist on traditional Norwegian fare. There is so much more to sample than just aquavit and lapskaus.
The Royal Family of Norway is evident at its massive palace in Oslo where you can view the daily changing of the guard as well as the incredibly scenic King’s Road between Oslo and Trondheim.
An absolute “must do” is the Bergen Bana train ride from Oslo to Bergen. You’ll depart at 8 a.m. and your camera will begin a nonstop photo-op as the train roars over Norway’s mountainous centre.
The barren, windswept heaths, glaciers, forests and raw rugged beauty will take your breath away. Your seven-hour journey will have you climb over 1,300 metres, go under 30 kilometres of snow sheds, cross over 300 bridges and traverse 200 tunnels.
Norway’s biggest claim to fame is her awe-inspiring fjords, a series of saltwater inlets that infiltrate her entire coastline and are home to a plethora of flora and fauna. They're a haven for hikers, climbers and mountain trekkers.
The longest and deepest inlet is Sognefjord, which is home to the village of Flam. Accessible via the Bergen Bana train, Flam is a perfect jump-off point to spend a night enjoying the local culture and sampling the famous goat cheese “geitost."
Sightseeing cruises depart at 90-minute intervals to explore the scenic inlets. Waterfalls, sheer rock walls, towering precipices and the inexplicable rawness of nature at its purest awaits.
Depart Flam in the morning to continue your way to Bergen. A World Heritage UNESCO city, Bergen’s colourful wooden structures are a picturesque backdrop to her rich heritage.
There are year-round opportunities to visit Norway with dog sledding and snow-shoeing tours in the winter however most travel is during the peak summer months of July and August. Euros are not accepted, and you will be expected to withdraw Norwegian krone from local ATMs.

New York, March 14, 2013 — TIAA-CREF, a leading financial services organization, today announced its selection by Hamilton College as the institution’s exclusive retirement provider.
TIAA-CREF will now manage Hamilton College’s 403(b) defined contribution retirement plan, in which 720 employees actively participate. The plan contains approximately $150 million in assets.
Under the new agreement, funds previously managed by two different providers will now be managed by TIAA-CREF. Hamilton College will implement TIAA-CREF’s open-architecture recordkeeping solution, which simplifies retirement plan oversight and eases many fiduciary challenges that have arisen from recent regulatory changes.
TIAA-CREF’s sole recordkeeping solution streamlines plan enrollment, manages employee contributions and tracks transactions related to loans and withdrawals, giving Hamilton significantly more visibility into its plan’s management and accounting.
By moving to a sole recordkeeping model, Hamilton can also provide its employees with a comprehensive view of all the assets in their retirement plan, which gives employees the ability to make better decisions regarding their investment mix, risk profile and portfolio rebalancing decisions.

text: After 31 years hosting The Book & The Spade I finally took the chance to share some personal reflections on Biblical Archaeology. Earlier this year, following a couple of articles I wrote for Christianity Today, some radio news colleagues invited me to come on their radio programs to talk about Biblical Archaeology. So this week's program is constructed from edited portions of Bill Feltner's program, His People, and Keith Peter's interview program on Classics Radio.

Blistering forward Bello Musa has reflected that Elkanemi Warriors will prioritise getting three points at home against Kano Pillars in the Northern derby, over playing well.
The Desert Warriors host Masu Gida on Wednesday afternoon in the day 2 of the 2018/19 Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season.
“The derby is usually different. There is a different spirit,” reflected Bello Musa this week in conversation with Footballlive.ng.
“I believe that in the derby you have to play well, but that it is more important to win, because people forget about the match and just remember who won.
“We should play well to win, but winning is the most important aspect.
“Kano Pillars are the favourite, they have a great team, their players are practically the best out there today in the NPFL.
“We have the opportunity to face a great team in our ground.
“We have to take advantage of this and if possible leave the match with a win. It is most important for us to do well at home.

Playing Games With Graves: This is what we appears to be happening at every turn here in Hawai`i. Burials are sacred and honoring our Kupuna is our responsibility. By honoring the past, we are connecting to those that have come before, acted as stewards and literally given their life to the land. Yet, the recent events at Naue Point on Kauai have brought our attention, once again, to the fact that some people just don’t get it.
On Kauai, the community members have stood tall in the face of eroding burial laws and corrupt processes for what they know is right. They need to be commended and this story needs telling. The community on Kauai is not alone although it may feel that way sometimes. The ongoing debacle at the Ward Villages construction site is yet another reminder of all that is inept about historic preservation these days.
Detours in the current legal framework allow for developers to take the easy way out with incomplete and ineffective archaeological reports that open the door to the permitting process. The difference between a “previously identified” and an “inadvertently discovered” burial can save developers loads of money, while also being the key that opens the door to development. Regardless of their trickery, it is an abomination of the spirit of the current burial law.
As one colleague recently questioned, “Previously identified by who? Everyone knows there are burials all over the beach in Hawai`i, especially on Kauai and Oahu.” Unfortunately everyone but the decision makers have gotten the message. Disarray at the State Historic Preservation Division and a City and County level permitting processes that, on Oahu has ignored an 18 year old resolution calling for detailed oversight of historical remains, continue to pave the way for gross unfairness in the handling of our most dearly departed. The process that results often resembles little more than a rubber stamp.
The situation on Kauai has brought many of these inequities to the surface and we need to take greater notice in all that is not working. After the developer was forced to preserve the burials in place by the island burial council; a scheme to build on top of the burials somehow got approved. As a result of the ongoing protests, the police stepped in to use criminal desecration statutes but the county prosecutor was unwilling to go along. OHA even took notice and asked SHPD to file a cease and desist order, which has not yet occurred. And now, Native Hawaiian Legal Corporation, along with OHA, is stepping up to take legal action. The question that remains: Why is it that we have to bring our Kupuna out of the ground and into court time and time again?
Perhaps it is the the loopholes in the burial laws that keep this mockery ongoing. Less than whole archaeological reports and a general mistrust for the entire historic preservation process are surely among the culprits as well. Making change in the current atmosphere will not be easy. One way to persevere through these challenges is to recognize that we are not isolated communities dealing with these issues, but a people connected by a common purpose. A purpose to keep sacred all that has come before and cherish all that is sacred for those yet to come. This we can do. This we must do. One step at a time, together.
Kanaka need to be proactive and not reactive. As a past burial council member I’ve see non Hawaiian families embrace the practice of reinternment on their property. A win win situation.
Thank you for your post. I think that people “just not getting it” has to do with a different system of ethics. Even if someone does not share your value system, a system of mutual respect should still exist. I understand your frustration.
This article and others inspired me to post a commentary on the Naue burials lawsuit on The Cultural Property Law Blog, at http://culturalpropertylaw.wordpress.com. I welcome your comments.

When it comes to decreasing your website’s load times, one aspect that’s often overlooked is your DNS and how quickly it responds.
DNS (Domain Name System) is the part of your server setup that translates your domain to the IP address of your site.
Without it, users would need to remember the long string of numbers of your IP to visit your website instead of a user-friendly address.
Since Google’s research indicates your website’s bounce rate can increase by 32% if it loads between one and three seconds, it’s incredibly important to shave of as much time as you can from page load speeds.
Today, I’ll share more details on DNS testing as well as how you can run your own DNS response time test to see if you can improve the performance of your DNS and website’s speed.
Typically, many site owners and developers run ping tests to determine the average time it takes for a site to load.
While these tests provide valuable details, they may not always be reliable.
Some servers mark pings as inessential and don’t respond to pings. When this happens, you won’t be able to generate data on how fast your site loads.
Ping tests also don’t often reveal how fast your DNS responds and fetches the IP address to load a website.
That’s where the BIND tool comes in.
You can use it to run a DIG (Domain Information Groper) command to work out your exact DNS response time.
It’s included on Mac and can be downloaded and installed for Windows.
To run a DIG command and DNS response time test, go to your Applications folder on Mac, and open the Terminal app.
For Windows, go to Start > Run, enter “cmd” (without the quotation marks) into the field, and press Enter on your keyboard. Then, click on Command Prompt to open it.
The two key components to note are query time in milliseconds on line 18 in the example above and real on line 24.
The real time is noted as minutes, then seconds, followed by a period, and the milliseconds after that.
The query time is how long it took for your computer to execute the command. The real time indicates how long it took for your computer to reach your site’s DNS.
Now, you need to solve a quick math problem to get the actual time it took to get a DNS response.
Subtract the real time from the query time to get how long it took for the DNS to respond.
In the above example, the query time is 38 ms and the real time is 118 ms. The result of the DNS response time test is 80 milliseconds.
It may be important to note that if one of the results is in seconds and the other is in milliseconds, you need to first convert the one result from seconds to milliseconds.
You can do this by multiplying the time in seconds by 1000.
The resulting DNS response time test shows only one metric from your computer. To get more accurate results, it’s crucial you run tests from different locations.
You can use Google’s Public DNS, for example, to run more tests.
Don’t forget to replace “your-site.com” with your real site address.
The results are similar to the previous command and you can subtract the real time from the query time to get the DNS response time.
You know how to test DNS server response time using the DIG command, but how reliable are your results, exactly?
While the BIND tool and DIG commands are helpful, there are some caveats.
Lighting-fast DNS speeds are significant, but that’s not the only factor you should consider when you’re trying to improve your site’s performance.
Many DNS options out there are sufficient. Unless you’re experiencing an alarmingly large DNS response time close to or much longer than a second for a small to medium-sized site, you’re probably in the clear.
Although, this isn’t a hard and fast rule. Each site is different. It’s up to you to decide what’s an appropriate DNS response time since it will vary based on the purpose of your website.
How quick your site’s DNS performs isn’t the only factor you should consider. What’s equally critical is that your DNS is secure, reliable, and your provider acts ethically, professionally, and takes your privacy seriously as well.
If security and privacy isn’t a priority for you, it should be since hackers can cause an abundance of issues for your site’s speed.
For example, they could inject scripts that add spam to your site that increases load times, or redirect your domain to point to their own spam, malware, or phishing website.
Hackers could redirect your domain to their phishing site compromising security and privacy.
If your DNS isn’t reliable, it could be slow one minute, then fast another, and your visitors could get downright annoyed in the process, and decide to leave your site altogether.
Similarly, your hosting provider should also help you out with any DNS issues courteously and quickly. Otherwise, you could struggle with your site’s speed for the long haul.
The DIG command does what’s called a DNS lookup, but only from your computer or another DNS of your choosing.
Depending on how close your site’s DNS is to your computer or the DNS you used to run the test, you may not get accurate results for how your users experience your site’s speed.
If you’re located near your DNS and server, then you’re going to get much faster response times than a user from the other side of the world and vice versa.
Not every one of your users will likely visit your site from your location. That means some of your site’s visitors may experience higher or lower response times depending on how far they are away from your site’s DNS and server.
Getting results from only one or two different DNS and locations aren’t going to provide an accurate overview of the average DNS response time for your site.
Ideally, Google’s Public DNS would be located on the opposite side of the world from your computer’s location, and your site’s DNS would be located near either you or the public DNS.
In that case, your results wouldn’t be as limited.
But, this may not be the case.
Fortunately, there are automated tools you can use to get more accurate results when you test DNS server response time.
Both tools below can be used for free, and without needing to download any software. They’re both reliable, secure, and offer detailed reports after each DNS response time test.
The DNSPerf tool runs real-time tests from over 30 different locations so you can get a thorough review of how well your DNS is performing across the world.
Each location is marked with the time it took for your DNS to respond, and insufficient times are highlighted in yellow as a warning, or in red to denote critical speed issues.
Results are displayed in list form as well as on a map for clarity.
UltraTools runs several tests to find speed averages for more accurate results. It also uses authoritative DNS servers in their tests so data isn’t skewed by underperforming DNS that likely no one uses, anyway.
It also displays the lowest and highest response times of each server your site uses.
So, there’s no need to worry if your site runs on server clusters. You’ll be able to see DNS response times for all of them.
Shaving off milliseconds – or seconds – off your DNS response time can help decrease your site’s load times quite significantly in some cases.
Running a DNS response time test using the DIG command can help you determine whether your DNS is performing well, or if improvements need to be made.
Either way, you’ll know if your DNS speed is up to snuff.
Do you test DNS server response time? Have you considered your DNS when evaluating your site’s overall performance? Feel free to share your experience in the comments below.
What an odd article. Dig doesn’t come with windows and why am I having to go to a link to view the commands?
“It may be important to note that if one of the results is in seconds and the other is in milliseconds, you need to first convert the one result from seconds to milliseconds.
Isn’t a second 1000ms and not 60ms?!
I have some replies to answer your questions.
Jonathan: A DNS server response time of 33 ms is respectable. Unless you’re running a huge site like Twitter, or Facebook, you’re good to go.
Ryan: The links were a temporary glitch, and it has been fixed now.
Bernhard: Oops! I had minutes on the brain when I wrote that. It has been fixed now. Thanks for letting us know about it.
Dave: A post on server performance, and what to look for from a hosting provider will be published soon. It should have the details you’re after.
