The data center is one of seven such sites for Facebook, and includes six buildings for data storage.
LOS LUNAS - Facebook marked the opening Thursday of a sprawling data center in New Mexico where the tech giant says servers have begun storing many of the videos, photos and other media that its 2.3 billion users have posted to the social network.
The data center is one of seven such sites for Facebook, and includes six buildings for data storage. It is situated on a patch of desert at the edge of Los Lunas, which lies just beyond the edge of New Mexico’s largest metropolitan area and along the Rio Grande.
Each of the data center’s buildings is roughly the size of four football fields and has several “data halls,” or darkened, vast rooms where Facebook plans to store dozens of rows of towering servers. Two of those halls are now in operation, while construction that began more than two years ago will continue until 2023, the company said.
“This is likely different than you expected, but you are in the cloud,” said KC Timmons, a Facebook data center operations leader said as he led a tour of the site.
The opening comes after Facebook marked its 15th anniversary recently amid an ongoing privacy scandal that has shaken the social platform. While congressional testimony in recent months has solidified how intertwined Facebook has become in people’s lives and ventures, there also has been mounting concern over past data-sharing practices.
In New Mexico, state and local officials in 2016 touted the data center as a much-needed economic boost for the area. U.S. Census figures show Los Lunas has some 15,000 residents with an average income of about $24,000.
An average of about 1,100 construction workers have been working at the Facebook site daily, and about 150 employees and contract workers are currently working desk, security and other jobs inside its one open building. Melanie Roe, a Facebook spokeswoman, said the company expects the number of employees to eventually reach 300.
In New Mexico, the Los Lunas Village Council agreed in 2016 to give up all property taxes for 30 years in exchange for annual Facebook payments that were to start at $50,000 and top out at nearly a half-million dollars.
The agreement that also involves tax breaks on billions of dollars in computer equipment over time helped the small town win over Facebook. West Jordan, Utah, had been the other finalist.
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat who took office in January, said Facebook had cited New Mexico’s business friendly climate, and potential for renewable energy development in selecting Los Lunas. She said that decision shows renewable resource development – one of her priorities – is necessary for attracting business.
Facebook has stated it wants of all of its operations to be reliant solely on renewable energy by 2020. At its New Mexico site, solar panels line the edge of the property.

The LifeQuilt is a unique and permanent memorial dedicated to the thousands of young women and men between the ages of 14 and 24, who have been killed and injured on the job. The quilt commemorates 100 young workers killed on the job with individual, personalized quilted blocks. The LifeQuilt’s centre focal image honours young workers injured on the job. The entire quilt tapestry measures roughly 3 x 6m (9’ x 18’).
Young workers are more likely than other workers to be hurt or killed on the job – that’s what the statistics say. But the statistics can’t portray the stories of these young lives interrupted, or of the overwhelming grief and chaos left behind. In creating the LifeQuilt, designer Laurie Swim, the quilters and the families of the young workers tried to capture all of that. Their goal was not only to honour and remember their loved ones, but to prevent the same loss to other families.
The LifeQuilt was completed and first unveiled on National Day of Mourning, April 28, 2003.
The LifeQuilt is occasionally available for display at health and safety events. If you are interested in having the quilt at your event, please contact us. But please be aware: due to the quilt’s size and delicacy, there are limitations for shipping and displaying it. To ensure the LifeQuilt has the maximum impact, we strongly encourage event organizers to book one of our volunteer speakers to tell their real-life story of workplace tragedy. We look for bookings where the quilt will be displayed for a minimum of two days, where there will be public access, and where the quilt’s message will reach a large number of people. Contact us to inquire about booking the LifeQuilt.
Threads of Life thanks the many partners who came together to create and support the LifeQuilt, and the many families who shared their stories through the quilt.

After 6 months of IUI treatments, and 3 months with no fertility assistance, it appears that I ahve had 3-4 chemical pregnancies- My Dr. is starting all sorts of genetic testing and chromosomal testing. Has anyone else had this problem? Did they ever find out why you were miscarrying? Also, my friends and family don't seem the think of these as "real" miscarriages, while my heart is broken over it- has anyone esle dealth with this too???
I've actually been tested for everything- I got my test results back yesterday afternoon right after I posted- husband and I are both fine- we have been seeing an RE from the beginning... on one hand it is great nbews that we are both healthy and have no genetic issues, but very frustrating to continue on without answers! I'm turning 38 in a few days and feel like time is running out! I am also on progesterone support every month in case there is a leutal phase defect, and am seeing an acupuncturist on a regular basis too. Thanks for your post!!!
I had two miscarriages one of which was chemical. I did see a Reproductive Endocrinilogist for recurrent pregnancy loss testing and all of my results came back normal. But I do think every woman who has more than 1 miscarriage should be tested. There are so many causes for recurrent pregnancy loss and many are easily treatable. And if you are like me and they don't find anything wrong, then hopefully that gives you more confidence about trying again. One condition that can cause chemical pregnancy is luteal phase defect which is when the time between ovulation and the start of menses is < 12 days. I have short cycles 23-25 days and suspected this was my issue. I started taking B6 supplements daily and my first cycle on them was 28 days. I conceived the next cycle and that pregnancy stuck! Do the testing and ask your doctor about progesterone deficiency and LPD. Good Luck!

At the start the Wifi stick turns on the green led (solid light) and after a few seconds the led starts flashing but It never links to my AP (Dlink DWL-2000AP+ Firmware Version: 2.12). I have seen the AP's Log and the Wifi stick doesn't try to link or to negotiate with the AP never. I have tried the same wifi stick in a PC running Ubuntu 10.10 and It works perfect, good quality signal, good speed and a stable connection. I have also tried with "network-device-detector" and with "DHCP=yes" but I get the same results.
I need help with this, I haven't more ideas to try.
Thank you in advance (and sorry for my bad english).
Does anybody know any Wifi USB dongle which works perfect in WDLXTV_G2-0.4.5.3 ?
i've basically the same problem: same wdtv g2 and wifi dongle but newer firmware 0.4.7.3 . I have no chance to check if my AP get the DHCP broadcast signal from the usb stick, but the behavior is the same: led on usb device is blinking but no ip address is released from AP.
I tried to change several parameters on my config file but didn't work.

As if the Chiefs didn’t have enough problems, one of their playmakers isn’t able to make them.
Running back Jamaal Charles is experiencing soreness in his left knee, the same one in which he tore the ACL last season.
So while coach Romeo Crennel was optimistic Charles would be able to go against the Saints this week, the reality is Charles doesn’t appear to be all the way back.
“He got banged up a little bit and then [coaches] decided not to put him back in the game,” Crennel said, via Adam Teicher of the Kansas City Star. “He wanted to go back in, . . . but the other guys were doing OK so we left the other guys in.
Charles only played 21 snaps against the Bills, with six carries for three yards and three catches for 19 yards.
That left the bulk of the work to Peyton Hillis and Shaun Draughn, and that’s not a tandem that’s going to lift the Chiefs out of their current malaise.
I think he’ll be fine. He looked like he had plenty of speed and cutting ability in the preseason and the Falcons game. I just think the team as a whole failed against Buffalo and they brought him down with them.
Ive had this injury 3 times with in the spend of 3 years and its the toughtest thing ive ever had to do, there’s alot of mental issues that come along with the physical . I lost lots of speed and lateral movement , and one of my surgeries was done by the dr that was the 2008 usa mens dr for the Olympics , just have to train hard .
Remember when Wes Welker tore his ACL? He wasnt right the next year, but year 2 he took off. Wes got hurt MUCH later in the year than Jamaal, so my thought is we won’t see Jamaal back to himself till the 2nd half of the year.
In the ATL game his 46 yd run would have been an 80 yd TD run in 2010. It just takes time. Its not like he looks horrible. Buffalo manhandled our line up front. He’ll be back, just not right away.

Property News - Etrop Grange Hotel, a Grade Two-listed Georgian mansion near Manchester Airport, has been acquired by Squire Hotels for a sum close to the guide price of £4.95m.
Squire Hotels, which was launched earlier this year by Manchester-based lawyer Chris Eddlestone, plans to fully refurbish the 64 bedroom hotel.
The four-star hotel with 64 bedrooms and extensive conference facilities was sold on behalf of Highcross Strategic Advisors by the specialist hotels agency team at the Manchester office of real estate advisors Colliers International.
Etrop Grange Hotel, which dates back to circa 1780, has been extensively refurbished with 64 bedrooms and a range of separate conference facilities able to accommodate more than 230 delegates in total.
Manchester-based Squire Hotels will continue to operate the red brick premises as a hotel.
Originally known as Moss House after being built as a home by school teacher William Moss, the premises were renamed Etrop Grange in 1984 after the local area called Etrop Green. The property opened for business in November 1985 as a fine dining restaurant before conversion to a hotel over the next 13 years.
Julian Troup, head of UK hotels agency at Colliers International, secured the sale on behalf of Highcross Strategic Advisors.
He said the acquisition by Squire Hotels showed a continued appetite for properties such as Etrop Grange in the provinces despite general market conditions being tough.
“There was a great deal of interest in Etrop Grange because it is a high quality asset which trades consistently well,” he said.
Etrop Grange is situated just two miles from Manchester Airport and offers transfers for residents to and from the airport.

Bioresources Development Centre, Kano, National Biotechnology Development Agency (NABDA), Abuja, Nigeria.
Background and objectives: The knowledge of traditional uses of plant species used in the management of pediatric diseases in Kano State is still intact with the traditional healers; thus, the present study was aimed to collect, identify and document plant species used traditionally for the management of pediatric diseases in the study area. Methods: The ethnobotanical data was collected through informal interviews with the traditional medicine practitioners, traditional birth attendants, herb sellers and some health workers. Results: A total number of sixty eight plant species belonging to thirty five families were reported to be used in the disease management among children in the study area. Most of the plants species belonged to the Fabaceae, Poaceae, Anarcadiaceae, Asteraceae, Combretaceae and Solanaceae families, while Anogeissus leiocarpus, Boswellia dalzielii and Citrus sinensis were the most frequently mentioned plant species. Leaves and stem bark were the most used plant parts in this study. Conclusions: Further studies should be conducted to evaluate the pharmacological activities of the plant species that have not yet been investigated and also to identify the phytochemical constituents responsible for their activities.

Besides that it also comes with a Trac installation (not all that completely set up yet, though) which I guess will be used for 1st party applications like the Uploadr.
Somehow the whole site looks remarkably unfinished considering that its already announced on the official mailing-list yesterday evening. For instance besides Trac just sitting there, there is also a really weird bug in the CSS when hovering a timeline item.

I’m not exactly sure how I first head of the Westman Islands, but it certainly wasn’t thanks to a travel guide. Sure, the islands are listed in all of them, but many times as a passing note, an addendum that I’m sure many people miss. No, the first I heard of these tiny islands off the south coast of Iceland was from a friend, where so much of what we learn about travel originates, and it’s thanks to friends and blogs that I knew enough to plan my first visit to this beautiful part of Iceland. Had I not planned this easy diversion, then I never would have known. I would never have seen or experienced firsthand just how remarkable a place the Westman Islands are, in a country full of seemingly once in a lifetime and remarkable natural experiences the islands are something a little extra special.
That’s actually part of the problem, Iceland is such an incredibly beautiful country that the width and breadth of options for tourists is almost overwhelming, and that’s particularly true along the southern coast. That’s how after three visits I still haven’t covered the entire country and what areas I have visited still hold even more for me to see and do. When I first started researching my trip along Iceland’s southern coast, I too was somewhat overwhelmed with options. One of the country’s most active areas, there’s a lot to see and do from the stunning waterfalls close to Reykjavik to the moonscapes surrounding Vatnajökull National Park. The Westman Islands have all of this though, and more. They really are like Iceland in miniature and maybe that, more than anything else, is what captivated me so very much.
Iceland is a strange place because, unlike many other countries, we know almost every aspect of Iceland’s history and founding by the Vikings, down to the names of the people involved. Throughout the centuries the history and genealogies of the nation have been dutifully recorded and those sagas for which the country is so very well known contain just as much fact as they do slightly nuanced fiction. Thanks to those stalwart historians, we know that the Westman Islands were founded by the Vikings more than 1,000 years ago. They needed a place to “store” their slaves for a while, and these tiny islands just off the southern coast of Iceland were perfect thanks to their remote location and a complete lack of any building materials from which to craft escape boats. Those slaves were Irish, what the Norwegian Vikings called Westmen. The moniker from Old Norse carried over into Icelandic, which is how we have the odd name we find today. There are several islands, but only one – Heimaey – is inhabited; about 4,000 people live there today. Mainlanders (as people on the Westmans call relatives on Iceland proper) probably know the islands best for their legacy of fishing, the largest puffin colony in the world and an annual music festival that draws more than 17,000 people the first weekend of August. But as I discovered, there’s a lot more to this tiny island than even those lofty superlatives.
One reason I decided to go to the Westman Islands in the first place was because it was easy. Spending almost 4-days driving along Iceland’s southern coast, a daylong detour to the Westman Islands was convenient, especially since I stayed at the nearby luxury getaway the Hotel Ranga. The port Landeyjahöfn was an easy 30-minute drive from my hotel, and is only about 10 minutes off Route 1 or the Ring Road. The port facility is a new-ish addition, making ferry travel between the Westmans and the mainland easier than it has ever been. There’s also plenty of free parking if you don’t want to take your car over to the islands with you. As to whether or not you should take your car in the first place, I think it depends. For what I decided to do during my day on Heimaey, it didn’t make sense. But if you don’t want to book a tour, then it might be a good idea to have a car so that you can properly explore the island.
For a small island, just about 7 square miles, there’s an awful lot to do. There were almost too many choices as I tried to plan my day, not quite sure which option was best for my first-time introduction to this quirky place. Ultimately, I booked a tour with the company Eyjatours electing to go with their Puffin and Volcano Tour. The reason was simple; this tour gives the best overall look at everything great about the Westman Islands, which is exactly what I needed. I wanted an overview so that I could 1) determine whether or not I liked the islands and 2) if I did, then I would be perfectly set up for future visits.
I booked the tour in advance, and finding the company’s office next to the ferry terminal couldn’t have been easier. Climbing into the van, I was excited for my first introduction to the Westman Islands, and what an introduction it was.
It’s funny, I’ve spent a lot of time driving around Iceland and for the most part, the towns are small without many services for visitors. The first thing I noticed about Heimaey as the ferry pulled into the port was how large it seemed in comparison to towns like Vik or Borgarnes. Houses and buildings covered the town and it was even busy, another feature lacking in most towns outside of Reykjavik. That’s not necessarily a good or bad thing, but it did instantly set it apart and told me that this experience would be unlike any other I’ve enjoyed in Iceland.
The only mistake I made on my visit to the Westman Islands was not spending enough time there. In my defense, I didn’t know. I just didn’t understand that while small, Heimaey and even the surrounding areas demand more than a few hours, that a couple of days is ideal really. Well, I can correct that the next time I visit; on this trip I was more focused on making the most out of a short stay thanks to my guide for the afternoon. Born and bred on the island, Ebbi like many folks on the Westmans stays busy with a variety of different jobs, including introducing folks like me to his quirky home. I say quirky, because even in the broader context of lovingly odd Iceland, the Westmans are even a little more eccentric. Again, this is not at all a bad thing, but it is a result of the millennia-long separation Heimaey has had from the rest of the world. While a short ferry ride away today, that wasn’t always the case and for many generations, the people who called this very tiny spit of land home in effect created their own society. The first introduction to this phenomenon that Ebbi shared with us was sprangen. The technique of using long ropes to collect bird eggs from the craggy cliffs of the out-islands, this treacherous bit of acrobatics was how the people of the Westmans survived for many centuries. Like most of Iceland, the ground is not great and not much grows, so collecting eggs just wasn’t nice, it was a necessity. This, along with many other little insights provided by Ebbi, was the real value of the tour. Learning about the culture and history of a place from a local who can trace his lineage back into the foggy past is pure gold when we travel, and exceptionally rare to discover.
The rest of the tour was a great overview of the beauty of the island itself. From what must surely be one of the most picturesque golf courses in the world, to the summit of the volcanic peaks that are now home to more puffins than I thought existed in the world, I saw the island from every point of view, falling deeper in love with each new vista. While I appreciated the natural beauty of the islands almost instantly, it wasn’t until I visited the most barren area of Heimaey when I learned to respect the spirit of the people who call this craggy island home.
The Westman Islands are home to one of the newest islands and volcanoes in the world. The most violent of which happened in 1973, when Eldfell erupted from the hills next to the town, threatening the lives of everyone there. The island was evacuated and for a time city leaders worried that no one would return, that the ongoing destruction waged by fiery Mother Nature would destroy the millennia-old culture on this tiny island. But people did return, reestablished their lives, even with the smoldering volcano looming mere feet away. That’s gutsy and speaks to the personalities of the people who call the islands home and it’s this moxie I think that made me love being there the most.
Yes, I fell for the Westman Islands. I felt like I had discovered a hidden-in-plain sight destination in a country that at times can feel a little overrun by well-meaning tourists. I discovered the spirit of Iceland in miniature, containing everything I love about this country in a very compact 7-mile space. I know I’ll be back, hopefully next summer, and will spend a few more days on Heimaey, exploring and getting to know it even better but in the meantime it is my goal to share this place with as many folks as I can, so that they too can experience the magic of the islands for themselves.
The number of places to see in Iceland surprises me considering what a small country it is. I haven’t been there yet, but it’s high on my list, and your experience on the Westman Islands is another reason! What beautiful views.
Your photos & words bring back memories. We went to Vestmannaejar (Heimaey) in May 2016 for 2 nights. We took our rental car & explored the island quite a bit. I knew about the 73 eruption & was very intrigued. The possibility of puffins added to the appeal. Yet, no puffins sightings for us! But, so picturesque & rugged. A town that fought the lava & won. We had lunch seemingly on the edge of the world by the lighthouse on the far end of the island. Sheep nearby on cliffs were obvious to any ‘danger’. The spectacular golf course. The evening patio cafe with fleeze blankets for patrons. The splurge of a perfect fish supper & beer (brewed on the island). Sunset at 10:30 pm but it never really got dark. Amazing scenery at night with the moon over Helgafell & Eldfell.
I was privileged to visit in July 1973. Unforgettable and weird experience. The volcano had only just stopped erupting. Walked on the semi-submerged rooftops of homes. I was six and have loved Iceland ever since. It is almost a magical place.
Kudos to you for an outstanding overview of your trip to the Westman Islands. My wife and so will be going to Iceland in May 2019 and I was evaluating whether to spend a full day going to the Heimaey out of seven days we will be in Icelsnd. Your review convinced me to make a day to absolutely do this.
Thank you for your detailed review of the Westman Islands in Iceland. I have been to Iceland before and returning in July 2019. I was “on the fence” so to speak about the island and doing a day trip. Your review convinced me to spend 2 nights there. I’ll be traveling with 2 other people who have not been to Iceland and this island is a perfect opportunity to slow down a rushed self drive through the country. Love your photos!

Is Waterbirth Safe? What are the benefits and risks for mothers and babies?
Our team has seen the beneficial effect of hydrotherapy use for labor and when clients give birth in the tub. The warmth of the water, the added buoyancy, with the addition of pouring water down the back or tummy, always adds a measure of comfort throughout labor and birth.
Clients often misinterpret the residual symptoms of a vaginal exam for signs of labor starting on its own.

Photographer Wes Skiles began to learn his craft in the most demanding environment on Earth: underwater caves.
As a teenager, camera in hand, he explored Florida's underwater labyrinths to capture images of this unphotographed realm. He developed and refined the technique he became most known for: using multiple slaved strobes to dramatically illuminate and photograph this never-before-seen environment.
Later, as explorations led Skiles to remote locations around the world, he would strive to employ the latest technology, enhancing his ability to explore the environment and return with stunning images. He participated in caving and cave-diving expeditions in Mexico, Brazil, Puerto Rico, and Australia.
As an expedition cameraman, Skiles specialized in capturing images of people and wildlife on the edge of extreme frontiers. His visual imagery provided the viewer with an intimate understanding and unique perspective of his subjects.
Skiles worked on assignment as a freelance photographer for National Geographic magazine. His work was also featured in Outside and numerous diving publications. Skiles also produced, directed, and filmed over a hundred television films, many of which have won international awards and acclaim.
In 2010, Skiles died following the conclusion of a scientific research expedition off the east coast of Florida. He was 52. "Wes was a true explorer in every sense and a wonderful spirit," National Geographic magazine Editor in Chief Chris Johns said. "He set a standard for underwater photography, cinematography, and exploration that is unsurpassed."

Jivox Dynamic Canvas™ technology, invented by Jivox, removes the labor intensive development process required by platforms of the past generation.
A key question you might ask when evaluating personalization platforms is: Does it limit creativity?
With Jivox, you no longer need to manually create hundreds or thousands of variations for every ad – which is expensive and inefficient. You no longer are forced to redevelop ads repeatedly using inflexible templates for even the slightest design changes.
Dynamic canvas technology separates the assets within an ad into individual components. The image, messaging and call-to-action can be dynamically swapped at any moment as determined by the triggers (such as weather, temperature, location). Each variation of the ad is dynamically assembled, on-the-fly, so you don’t have to create ad variations individually. This technology preserves the original creative design to swap assets dynamically, freeing you from having to use rigid templates.
The individual assets making up each version of the ad are stored in the Jivox IQ CMS, or external CMS/feed, and retrieved as needed to assemble the ad. The CMS enables millions of assets to be stored and served dynamically, reducing significant costs while giving you complete creative flexibility. Jivox supports a wide range of ad formats.

text: Peripheral LRH comments are likewise fascinating. In the first place, he explained, whole track research (when combined with the material record) suggested ancient populations to have been far greater than typically reckonedat least five times the generally acknowledged figure and thus explaining, for example, the 160 cities once gracing a now relatively barren Sicily. Also habitually underestimated were troop strengths of the ancient world, since archaeological figures regularly neglected to factor in the five-to-one logistical backbone of armies. Thus, the pointed LRH remark, The archaeologist makes a fundamental and fantastic error. When he counts the number of soldiers engaged in a battle, he omits the numbers of supply sergeants, clerks and, of course, super generals who are sitting in back of the lines. Then, too, and herein lay an overall LRH conclusion reflected in later essays on equitable administration for which he is equally famous, the ancient world had not ultimately succumbed to a barbarian onslaught; it had succumbed to internal strife and its own political mismanagement.

I've been in Brussels the last two days, on an art and chocolate-themed trip. Here, the highlights of my sojourn.
I've sampled chocolates at the recently opened La Maison des Maîtres Chocolatiers Belge, a recently opened shop on the Grand Place, Brussels' grand main square. The store showcases the work of ten artisans who make traditional Belgian chocolate using the finest ingredients.
I had a sneak preview of Brussels Antiques and Fine Art Fair, better known as BRAFA. This major event takes place in Brussels annually, attracting art collectors and aficionados from around the world. This year, its 55th anniversary, the show is on from January 22 through January 31.
I savored two delicious waffles, both with plenty of thick whipped cream and chocolate sauce – the real Belgian way.

I was asked about tips for planning posts on Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter so I gathered the 7 most effective tips I have on how to get starting scheduling social media posts, and here they are for you to use.
If you are planning on scheduling social media posts, that likely means you will be scheduling in advance. That could be anywhere from two days to six weeks in advance, maybe further. If you are counting on the content being relevant when it is posted, even though it was loaded into the scheduling tool two days to six weeks earlier, make sure the content is evergreen.
Evergreen content is information that is as relevant today as it is tomorrow, or in six weeks. You want to be posting information that will be interesting, helpful and relevant into the future. So, consider evergreen content. You can post sales and specific holiday information in addition to your evergreen posts, but ensure that content separate is kept separate.
Using this method allows you the flexibility to post breaking news relevant to your industry in addition to your evergreen content. Focus on evergreen content being the content you schedule in advance, and you’ll never have to worry about posts being outdated or potentially irrelevant.
Make it a rule to be scheduling social media posts at different days and times to test what day/time of day you get the most reaction from your audience. This way, you really get to know your audience and discover which times and days work best for them to interact with you. Then focus on posting during those days and times. You find out this information by looking at your analytics.
Most all scheduling tools (Edgar, Buffer, Hootsuite etc.) have the option to load multiple posts via spreadsheet. This saves time so be sure to load by spreadsheet, not post by post. Yes, it takes a little bit of tweaking to line the spreadsheet up and format all the formulas in the spreadsheet to make sure it actually goes into the scheduling tool properly (all tools require slightly different spreadsheet formats), but it is worth it. Take the time to get that spreadsheet right, load up your posts by spreadsheet and you will end up saving time.
If you are posting on LinkedIn, be sure you do not avoid it on the weekends. Some people may think that business is Monday to Friday and so is LinkedIn. That is not necessarily true. There is a lot of weekend activity on LinkedIn. We notice people have more time on the weekends, and they are digging into the longer format content and have more time and opportunity to interact. So, consider posting on LinkedIn during Saturday and Sunday, just like Monday through Friday.
If you post on Twitter, post frequently. Twitter is a fast-moving social network. Posting more often is perfectly acceptable because of the speed that Twitter operates. Posting several times a day is quite acceptable, and even required for this network due to the speed and activity on this social network.
If you are just getting started, we recommend using more third-party posts until your audience gets used to you. Third-party content is any type of article, infographic or video that is not created by you, yet discusses the same point of view as you/your company has on a topic or issue.
Find third-party material from industry websites, reputable companies such as Forbes or Inc., or any other kind of publication that is useful and relevant to your industry. You are sharing industry content in order to gain an audience, increase your audience and get your audience used to you being out there sharing information.
As your audience grows, you build up goodwill and you build up a reputation of being able to source good information about your industry which helps your audience learn more about the industry and get some of their potential questions answered. Eventually, start adding in more of your own posts.
If you are new to posting content on social media, we’re assuming you are probably getting started with your newsletter or blogs at the same time. Use this technique to make it a little easier as you get your content creation going, by using third-party content to help you build your presence and build interaction with your audience while you get busy creating your own body of content for sharing.
Engage. What does this mean? When someone comments on your post, be sure to comment back. You want to thank them, you want to engage with them. As foreign as this may sound, you already know how to do this.
It is exactly the same way you’d behave at a networking event. Somebody sticks their hand out, says ‘hello’ to you, you, in turn, engage with them by shaking their hand, saying hello back and starting a conversation.
You never know, this could be your next best collaborator or your next best client. Take this opportunity to expand your network.

The tell tale heart is a tale of horror. It reflects psychology of a killer. He kills an old man just because he does not like the old man’s vulture-like eye. The reason is not sound enough for a murder. But the murderer is not a mad man. He commits the murder concisely and very methodically. He goes to the old man’s house around midnight with a muffled light. He pushes the bedroom door open just a little and finds the man in his bed.
The old man wakes up. The killer waits few minutes. Then he again peeps in and finds the old man lying awake. He looks at the old man’s vulture eye with disgust and bursts in. He pulls the old man off his bed and overturns the heavy bed on him. In this way he suffocated the old man to death. Then he chops the dead body into pieces and conceals the pieces under the wooden boards of the floor.
Just then three policemen enter the house. They ask questions about a cry that was heard in the street. It came from the old man’s house. The killer tells them that it might have been his own cry in a dream. He says the old man was not at home and he had left him (the killer) to look after the house. He said he slept in the house.
Discuss the elements of horror in the story “The Telltale Heart”.The story “The Telltale Heart” is a horror detective and crime story. Discuss.The Story “The Telltale Heart” is full of elements of horror. It also fulfils the requirements of a detective and crime story.
‘The Telltale Heart’ has a frightening start as the killer has a strange motive for the murder of the old man. The killer actually loves the old man and he has no normal reason to kill him. He wants to kill him just because he does not like one of his eyes. This motive of the killing creates horror.
The process of the killing also creates horror. When he went to kill the old man on the eighth night, he was very proud of his sagacity. Therefore, he laughed quietly and the old man heard him. He jumped on his bed with fear. It is very horrible that the killer enjoyed the fear of the old man. When the reader reads about the fear of the old man and the process of killing, he feels afraid.
Discuss the elements of suspense in the story.
Suspense starts from the start of the story. The start of the story is very sudden. The word ‘nervous’ and ‘mad’ create a lot of suspense.
The narrator of the story sets the reader to a task. He wants him to find out whether he is mad or not. He keeps talking to the reader. He asks our opinion repeatedly. He gives arguments in his favour and keeps the suspense alive until the end of the story. This suspense is not satisfied. The reader is left to guess whether the narrator is mad or not. This is first element of suspense.
When the narrator kills the old man, the reader wants to know whether he will be caught or not. When the police officers come, the suspense reaches the highest point. This is the second element of suspense.
Was the killer a mad man?Why did the killer kill the old man? Was he a mad man?
We can rightly say that the killer was not mad, although he was very nervous and sensitive. Perhaps he had some sort of psychological disorder. That disorder had made him too sensitive.
He tells the story in all its details. He went to the old man’s house around midnight. He opened the door very carefully. But his hand slipped, and the noise awakened the old man. He sat up in his bed, peering into the dark. The killer waited for about an hour. But the old man did not lie down to sleep. It seemed he was alarmed. The killer could not bear the suspense. He darted a thin gleam of light on the old man’s face. It caught the vulture eye. The killer flew into a fury. He pulled the old man down and smothered him to death under the heavy bed. Then he chopped the body into pieces and concealed the pieces under the wooden planks of the floor. He did all this dirty job very quietly and neatly.
Discuss the title of the story. OR Why did the killer confess to his crime?Justify the title of the story. OR How was the murderer caught?
Confession of the killer at the end of the story is very sudden and unexpected. However, the title of the story suggests that the killer will make this confession. In the title, “The Tell-Tale Heart” the word “heart” means the guilty conscience of the killer. That “heart” forced him to confess to his crime.
At the start of the story, the killer was very nervous. We find him sensitive too. We see that after committing the crime he was quite satisfied and proud at his work. He even laughed.
He wanted to overcome the ringing of his ears, but could not. He feared that the police officers might have heard the ringing.
He thought that it was old man’s heartbeat. Actually, it was his guilty conscience. Its pricking was unbearable. He said. However, anything was better that this agony! I felt that I must ream of die.” And he screamed.
How did the killer kill the old and how did he conceal the body?How did the killer execute the murder and conceal the dead body?
The killer had been going to the old man’s room to kill him for seven nights. However, he did not kill him because he found his eye close. Actually, he wanted to kill the old man because he did not like one of his eyes. That eye was very ugly.
On the eighth night, he was very cautious in opening the door. He opened the door very slowly. He was proud of his sagacity. Therefore, he laughed quietly and the old man heard him. He moved on his bed. When he was about to open the lantern, his thumb sloped, and the old man sprang up in the bed. He started enjoying the fear of the old man and he chuckled again. He threw a thin ray of light on the old man’s eye. It was open. However, he delayed in killing the old man. Then suddenly with a loud yell, he jumped into the room. The old man shrieked. The killer dragged him onto the floor and pulled the heavy bed over him. When the old man died, he removed the bed. He tried to feel the heartbeat of the old man’s heart. He was dead.
What is the lesson or moral of the story?
The lesson or moral of the story “The Tell-Tale Heart” is that a criminal cannot conceal his crime and subdue the voice of his conscience. It is impossible to ignore it s pricking for long.
When we read the story carefully, we find that the killer is quite satisfied after killing the old man. In fact, he is proud of his successful work. He has killed the old man in the safest way. There is no blood spot. He had also concealed the dead body under the flooring. No one can detect anything wrong. Therefore, he laughs ha! Ha! Everything is all right. He is rather enjoying.
When the police officers come, he receives them with complete peace of mind. He is confident that there is nothing to fear. He satisfies them that nothing wrong has happened. He tells a lie. He tells them that the old man is not present. He also tells them that he shrieked in his dream. Now the police officers are satisfied.
Discuss the atmosphere of the story.There is an atmosphere of horror and suspense in the story “The Tell-Tale Heart”. Comment.
To create the atmosphere of horror first the writer presents the motive of the murder. The killer did not want to kill the old man because of some object or passion. The killer loved the old man. The old man had never wronged him. He had not insulted him. The killer had no desire for the old man’s gold. The height of cruelty was that he wanted to kill the old man for one of his eyes. This motive of the killing creates horror.
The process of the killing also creates horror. When he went to kill the old man on the eighth night, he was very proud of his sagacity. Therefore, he chuckled and the old man heard him. He moved on his bed. It is very horrible that the killer enjoyed the fear of the old man. Then he yelled and jumped into the room. The old man shrieked with terror. The killer dragged the old man to the floor, and pulled the heavy be over him. When the old man died, he removed the bed and tried to feel the heartbeat of the old man. When the reader reads about the fear of the old man and the process of killing, he feels afraid.
We find him most horrible situation in the story when the killer dismembered the dead body to conceal it. He cut off the head, the arms, and the legs. It is very horrible. We feel near nausea. How cruel the killer is! His own condition after committing the murder and the way his conscience pricked him are also very horrible.

Discussion in 'General Electronics Chat' started by h.immo, Sep 1, 2013.
I'm facing a problem with the calculations of an multifamily dwelling building.
In the article 220 of the NEC it is written that I have to use a demand factor of 23% (if I have more then 62 dwelling).
But on the other hand I have to use a demand factor of 100% for mechanical loads like A/C, and 40% for lighting.
What do I have to do? calculate the power for each dwelling->multiply it by 100% for mechanical load+ 40% for the rest, then add them all together and then multiply by 23%.
Or just calculate the individual loads and add them all together?
I hope I made my problem clear.
Your basic demand load may require a first group of units at 100%, a second group at something less, and the balance at something even less. Electric ranges are added in similar fashion. A/C and heat are added at 100%, unless interlocked, then the higher load. Other loads are added at some percent. Common areas and parking are then added at some declining contribution.
Phone the inspectors for advice. If that fails, pay a real electrician to do the math. A couple of hundred dollars is cheap for the insurance it is going to buy you.
So yes, you must add all your demand together, and inlcude a small percentage for a " fudge factor "

One of life’s simplest joys is eating out, and by that, we mean out of doors. Warm and lovely days encourage us to camp, hike or fish, and inevitably, to gather for a meal. Everything seems bigger in the great outdoors— including our appetites for food and flavors. Gathering for a barbecue or escaping for a picnic provides real health benefits, such as vitamin D, boosted mood and increased activity.
The delights of eating outdoors are timeless. From a trestle table filled with a family feast in the Tuscan countryside to a patio table laid with linen on the Champs Elysees to a rooftop view above it all in downtown Flagstaff, al fresco dining is a pleasure. “We have the designation of being the only rooftop dining in town,” said David Smith, chef/owner and partner with Jeremy Meyer of Root Public House.
Root’s rooftop perch is spacious, nearly doubling the its size, under a bowl of blue. A bank of seating wraps the patio plus plenty of tables for soaking up the rays and the view make it the best summer spot. The San Francisco Peaks hold prominence on the horizon surrounded by historic city sites. The bar is self-contained, providing equivalent drinks service as the main floor with eight to 10 local brews on a dozen taps. Or try the signature cocktail Root Down. It’s vibrant, containing only local ingredients: Desert Rain gin, carrot juice, jalapeno bitters and local IPA foam exuding a citrus fragrance. Although the rooftop tends to drinks and nosh, guest have access to the full food program.
Both had lengthy industry backgrounds. Smith arrived in Flagstaff a decade ago with successes as partner/owner of Brix Restaurant and Wine Bar, before opening Criollo Latin Kitchen and Proper Meats and Provisions. Smith met Meyer, the bar program manager at Criollo, in 2010. Understandably, the team had a proper following when they launched Root in July 2016 with a bang. The partners’ consistent mission provides sustainable, organic and local fare. White paint and steel touches create an understated vibe like the owners’ trademark jeans and tees.

I love homes tours as much as the next guy, maybe even more. As a realtor I literally walk through hundreds of modern and MCM homes in Austin every year, and every time I do I'm looking and learning. The 10 homes picked for this years AIA Austin Home tour are the cream of the crop and I'm excited to dig into them and see what there is to be found. Here are the top 3 picks (in no particular order) that I'll be visiting this year, and why they caught my eye.
This project looks by architects Charles Di Piazza and Chris Cobb looks extremely well detailed. If you know me, you know I'm a stickler for a good kitchen, and I'm liking what I see here. It also looks like there is an linear diffuser in the ceiling instead of the typical ugly heat register in the floor. That tells me two things. #1 Someone cares about the details. #2 They were willing to spend the extra money to get those details right. Last but not least, I'm interested in seeing how those can lights hanging down from the ceiling look in person.
FAB Architecture has been a favorite of mine ever since I stepped foot inside their Clifford Ave house on this years Modern Homes Tour. This particular house caught my eye for a few reasons. First, I'm a total sucker for board formed concrete, and the integrated shelf in the kitchen photo above has me intrigued. This home is also a good example of urban infill. It's built behind an existing house in 78704, so I'm interested to see how the site planning works.
This Webber + Studio project is just one of the many remodels that are on the tour this week. Besides being a fantastic looking home, I'm also interested in checking it out because of the builder. Matt Risigner of Resigner homes is a self described construction nerd. He obsesses about the details, and not just the ones on the surface either. I'm excited to see his handiwork in person.
This East Austin house would have made my short list too, except for one thing. I've already walked through it a few times! If you haven't checked it out before, I recommend you do.
All the details about the home tour can be found on aiaaustin.org but here is the short and sweet.

Do you believe that your distinctive business logo or symbol is secured from competitors? Do you currently violate existing rights? Here are the four key things that you must know about trademarks and protecting your business.
1. Why Do I Need A Trademark?
A trademark is any word, name, symbol, design, phrase or logo that you use to distinguish your product or service from other businesses.
2. Why Do I Need A Trademark?
A trademark legally safeguards your unique business name or logo from other people. It authorizes you with a right to use the name or logo in connection with your business.
Guarantees a cause of action against any person/business using a similar name or logo.
Shields you against an involuntary breach of an existing recognized trademark holder.
Trademarks generate revenue for your business by allowing you to license the use of your name or symbol to others, vital when deciding to franchise.
It creates value as an intangible asset and operates as ‘goodwill’ when you are selling your business.
3. What Are Some Examples Of Trademarks?
The first thing to do is to ensure your proposed name does not conflict with any existing trademarks in Australia. Conducting a trademark search is simple on LawPath’s online trademark solution – you can run unlimited searches for free and get instant clarity on your pending trademark application.
Are you looking to register a Trademark? LawPath’s online trademark registration is cost-effective and takes just minutes to complete.

The broom-pushing robot Beppo is a new magnetic attraction all over the HNF. Named after the philosophising street sweeper in Michael Ende’s novel “Momo”, Beppo works his broom all day long.
With six axis, 2.20 metres of reach and a weight of 900 kilograms, the robot IRB 6620 made by ABB is actually designed to perform jobs in industry with precision down to 0.03 millimetre. The Frankfurt-based programmer and media artist Sven Thöne taught Beppo to perform its sweeping task in the HNF.
Beppo’s new mission in life is to move all 4 million red plastic particles that surround it. It performs its task in a cycle that lasts about 30 minutes, sweeping the granulate, drawing patterns and creating order in an apparently contemplative manner. The robot is constantly followed by a spotlight. The light’s movement can be influenced by the presence of visitors. Beppo becomes annoyed by the light and wields his broom in an effort to turn it off. In designing this scene, Thöne drew on the act of the American clown Emmett Kelly.
The spotlight that irritates Beppo and that he tries to drive away is the only thing that the robot perceives. It does not see the granulate. The interaction among Beppo, the spotlight and visitors turns the display into a fascinating experience and lends an artistic-philosophical perspective to it. A dynamic environment is created when a deterministic machine is connected to a non-deterministic system.

Q. I AM WANTING TO LEARN ABOUT THE BASIC PROCESS AND PROCEDURES OF ELECTROPLATING BECAUSE I WANT TO START A SMALL PLATING BUSINESS.
A. Hi, Rodel. We have many on-line articles here that may be a start for you, including our: "Introduction to Chrome Plating", and "Electroplating: How It Works", "Barrel Plating", and "Plating Shops for the New Millennium".
There are a number of good introductory texts listed on our Books Page. One that is both good and very inexpensive is the Garden State Branch AESF "Practical Electroplating" book. Another that can usually be picked inexpensively, because it's an annual, is the Metal Finishing Guidebook.
People tend to not believe that the government holds them responsible forever for wastes after they have have paid for proper disposal. But what happened is the nation became saddled with huge clean-up costs (super fund sites) because people had their wastes disposed of by companies that turned out to be fly-by-nights. The government's solution was simple, if draconian: the generator of the waste is responsible for it forever regardless of who they paid to get rid of it or how much, or how long ago.
To open an electroplating business, if you have not even set foot in a plating shop, is a huge leap. We encourage you to pursue your dreams -- but we suggest that, if possible, working for a summer in a plating shop first is simple common sense. Good luck!
A. Not to mention all the legal battles with local governments and approvals. Very costly. The plating facility is the easy part.
Q. I want to start small zinc plating business, so please provide the process information.
Although there are entire books covering just the process information for zinc plating, such as Geduld's "Zinc Plating" [link is to product info at Amazon], you probably won't need quite that level of detail. In addition to the previously mentioned resources, see if you can locate a copy of the Electroplating Engineering Handbook.
The first three technical questions to ask yourself is whether you want to offer rack plating services or barrel plating services, whether you want to go for alkaline zinc plating or acid zinc plating, and whether plain zinc plating is sufficient or you wish to offer an alloy plating like zinc-cobalt, zinc-iron, zinc-nickel, or tin-zinc. I think if you try to do a little research towards answering those 3 questions, you will soon have a pretty fair "book knowledge" of the process of zinc plating.
You will find that zinc plating processes are highly proprietary today and the process vendors will be happy to lay put a process sequence for you. It will probably include as a minimum: soak clean, electroclean, acid activate, zinc plate, and trivalent chromate conversion coating. Good luck.
A. From experience, I decided to start a chroming company without having any experience in the field, and it ended up costing a lot more than I knew to get all the equipment. It takes a lot of practice too. I now finally have my company completely up and running and have an advantage over most companies because I have a spray-on chrome machine that can chrome ANY surface! It used to be that you could only chrome conductive (metal) surfaces. With this new technology you can now have a shiny chrome finish to any surface including plastic, wood, vinyl, etc.
Shiny spray-on "chrome-look" paint is a more practical starting point for hobbyists than electroplating, and it avoids much of the environmental liability. But it is important for readers to realize that what you are talking about is just paint, it's not chrome plating.
It is not true that real chrome plating can't be done on plastic. Just look at automobile grills. All of them are genuine chrome electroplated plastic; no OEM to my knowledge ever uses "chrome-look" paint. But chrome electroplating on plastic is a complex and extremely expensive process of more than a dozen steps: etch, activate, accelerate, electroless nickel plate, copper plate, semi-bright nickel plate, bright nickel plate, and chrome plate, as a minimum, with multiple rinses between each listed step. nothing in common but a shiny look. Good luck with your business.
I wish to start plating shop. I am new entrepreneur, manufacturing of Washers with Mild Steel and HR Grades. My supplier asking with Zinc Yellow coating. So for this I am doing at outsource. For Cost reduction I wish to do myself at my site. I am BE Mechanical Engineer Graduate with having 5 years industrial experience. Kindly advice me do this process step-by-step procedure from basic cleaning to final process, name of chemicals and its ratio to mix, volts, amps, etc. Please explain in detail sir. Looking forward your positive response.
A. Hi Siddha. The plating of washers is far more more complicated than the stamping of them, but if you can tell us the exact materials and sizes, and what tumbling or vibratory processes you use, and what the result is in terms of surface finish & freedom or presence of burrs, and what soils, oils and greases might be on the washers, people can probably suggest the first cleaning steps: usually it will be a hot (80 °C) alkaline soak cleaning step followed by hot (80 °C) alkaline electrocleaning. The voltage for the electrocleaning will probably be about 8-10 volts depending on the size of your plating barrels. The amperage for electrocleaning is about 100 ASF (10 ASD), but only a small fraction of the load's surface area is exposed at a given moment in barrel plating so maybe 500-1000 Amps will be consumed while cleaning the contents of a normal production plating barrel designed for washers.
But people don't usually try to make up the process from commodity chemicals, they buy the processes from plating process suppliers who have formulated them to offer the best combination of saponification, wetting, emulsification, de-flocculation, chelating or sequestering, buffering, and inhibition. They can also run test parts through the plating laboratory and suggest the other steps in the process.
(if not reading it cover to cover), which will be at least a good first step towards your request for a step-by-step procedure from cleaning to final process. Good luck!
Q. I am currently working in a company where we need our parts to get plated (zinc clear chromate, zinc black chromate, zinc-nickel chromate, zinc black chromate) rack and barrel. Since I have a potential customer and I know that what would be my sales in a year I would like to start a plating company. I already know about the difficulties and risks about licenses and disposal of hazardous material. What I need is to know how much would it cost me to start a company, how long does it take to get all these licenses, and how much would be my profit margin. Mr Mooney has a lot of experience -- does your company offer consulting services too, or not? Thanks a lot.
A. Hi Reza. Although I was a plating equipment engineer and consultant for decades, just posting the questions on this website takes all my time and then some anymore. There are consultants who can help you though.
You should probably make contact with one of the major plating chemical suppliers and see if they can spend a couple of hours with you providing a proposed process sequence, testing it in the lab, and possibly getting you in to see a zinc plating shop or two.
