Cardiovascular disease is the second leading cause of death worldwide. Subsequently, the overall consumption of both β-blockers and β2-agonists has significantly increased over the last decade in an attempt to mitigate effects of this condition such as abnormal heart rhythms, angina, hypertension, tachycardia, thyrotoxicosis, and hypertrophic subaortic stenosis. The authors above developed a highly sensitive method for the determinations of the following commonly prescribed β-blockers and β2-agonists: acebutolol, clenbuterol, nadolol, oxprenolol, propranolol, terbutaline and timolol. The method was optimized using electrospray ionization liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–ESI–MS-MS) and Clean Screen® DAU extraction cartridges.
The validated method was linear over the ranges of 5.0–50.0 and 50.0–1000.0 ng/mL for analytes spiked in plasma and urine respectively, with correlation coefficients greater than 0.95, detection limits ranging from 0.06 to 5.04 pg/mL and quantification limits around 0.14–22.88 pg/mL for the target analytes. The developed method was successfully applied to the analysis of β-blockers and β2-agonists in plasma and urine samples. Recoveries from fortified plasma samples ranged from 74% to 118%. Fortified urine samples produced percentage recoveries ranging from 104% to130 %, with percentage coefficients of variance around 0.05–0.35 and 0.04–0.12, respectively. Results suggest that the developed method is well suited for the analysis of investigated drugs in biological fluids.

MARION, N.Y. (WHEC) -- Neighbors tell News10NBC the woman who died in Monday's deadly fire in Marion, Wayne County was bedridden.
State police have identified the victim as Beatrice Murray. She was 80 years old.
Neighbors and family members described the mother of six as a loving and kind woman.
Investigators spent the day trying to determine what started the fire in her home on Cory Corners Road.
Fire investigators with the New York State Police and local fire investigators worked all day Tuesday sifting through rubble.
"We're not ruling out anything at this point," said Trooper Mark O'Donnell, New York State Police. "Our investigators have been canvassing and interviewing dozens of people and we've been working around the clock in the fire trying to figure out what the cause was and if there's anything we need to find out."
State fire investigators used a drone to take pictures from above. They also had canines on hand.
It's an all-out effort to find the cause.
Family members tell us she had lived in the house that dates back to the 1800s for more than 50 years.
"We were not able to launch an interior attack," said Walworth Fire Chief John O'Toole on Monday. "There was too heavy a volume of fire."
Such extensive damage can make it tough for investigators to find the cause.
"Our investigators are very skilled at what they do," O'Donnell said. "I have complete faith they will find out the cause of the fire and if there's any other circumstances we need to be aware of, they'll find it."
O'Donnell added that it could be days before investigators find out the cause of the fire.
Officials say if you have any information about the fire, call 911.

Information: Larisa M. Lucaci, teacher of Romanian dances.
Larisa M. Lucaci (née Moruzeanu) grew up in Cetatea Albă, or White Fortress, in Bessarabia (now called Moldova, a part of the Ukraine). She attended the Universitatea din Bucureşti in Bucareşti. At the university, she joined two Romanian dance groups, Alunelul and the Vera Cirotea Group under the direction of Vera Proca Ciortea where she learned many of the Romanian dances she later presented.
Larisa earned a Ph.D. from the University of Vienna, Faculty of Anthropology and Folklore. In 1947, she began post-doctoral study in education at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
Larisa was asked to teach at Delta State Teachers College in Cleveland, Mississippi.
In 1948, she moved to Detroit, Michigan, where she participated in international folk dancing at the International Institute where she heard about Michael and Mary Ann Herman's Community Folk Dance Center in New York City. She went to New York and visited the Hermans who invited her to teach at the center. She worked with the Hermans to spread Romanian dances to folk dancers.
In 1949, she met and married Peter Lucaci, who grew up in Suceava, Romania, before coming to the United States. They had two children, Larisa and George. In 1950, the family moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where Peter edited "America" Romania News, a newspaper for the American Romanian community. Larisa taught Romanian dances to Romanian children, taught French and Russian for gifted children, and introduced the Foreign Language in Elementary School (FLES) program to the Cleveland Public Schools.
In 1954, The Hermans invited Larisa to teach at their Maine Folk Dance Camp. In 1955, she taught at the Oglebay Institute Folk Dance Camp in West Virginia. In 1966, she presented Romanian dances at the Santa Barbara Folk Dance Conference in Santa Barbara, California.
Larisa took the 1930s book (by her teacher) Manual de Dansuri Nationale (al. L. Dobrescu, Craiova, Romania. Scrisul Românesc) to Frank Richko and His Romanian Romani Orchestra with whom she worked to establish the correct tempos and sequences and produced on Michael Herman's Folk Dancer label a series of ten Romanian folk dances: Alunelul, Brâul lui Zbârcea, Ca la Uşa Cortului, Ciocârlanul, Dura, Hora de la Balţa, Jianu, Marioara, Ţărăncuţa, and Zdroboleanca.
Larisa had a weekly television show on WJW on ethnic culture. She had the first demonstration classroom in the United States as a pioneer in FLES (Foreign Language in the Elementary School) and was a teacher of gifted and talented children in the Cleveland Public Schools' Major Work program. She also was a Russian professor at Western Reserve University.
In 1987, after 30 years of full-time teaching, she retired to devote more time to her watercolors, Chinese brush painting, and pen-and-ink drawing. Lisa passed away on June 10, 2015 following her husband's death.

Melbourne’s burger scene has felt, well, a little one-sided lately. If you’re not a fan of a beef patty coated in just about every condiment known to man, there isn’t much out there for you in the brioche bun-encased world. At least we thought there wasn’t. That was until we discovered the incredible seafood selection at Melbourne’s tastiest fish and chip hot-spot, Fish & Chippery By The Atlantic.
The team at Fish & Chippery, which is situated on the riverside promenade of the Crown Entertainment Complex, have taken it upon themselves to rewrite the rule book when it comes to the classic burger and fries combo. Their seafood-loving chefs have combined everything we love about freshly caught and battered fish and chips and with everything we love about burgers—bar the red meat hangover that we get directly after scoffing a double-stack.
If you haven’t yet ventured to this trend-setting eatery, there are a few things you should know before you go. The name is such a mouthful because the restaurant is run by the same team behind The Atlantic, Crown’s most prestigious seafood restaurant, and home to some of the best oysters, crab and freshly caught fish dishes in the State. Everything you’re eating is the same quality as what’s served by head chef Donovan Cooke in the swanky restaurant next door, only without the dollar price tag, or shame about covering everything with ketchup or tartare sauce! All of the seafood you’ll be ordering is super-fresh—nothing is frozen or kept on standby for a few days (because ew, yuck)—and you can have the fish grilled if you’re on a health kick, or beer battered if you’re keen for the classic seaside experience. They're also the guys behind *that* chowder everyone's drooling over.
But back to the burgers that have got us drooling over their creativity and all-round deliciousness. First on the menu is the rockling fillet burger, which combines grilled rockling with crispy Asian slaw, all topped off with a light miso yuzu dressing (is this the miso mayo hybrid we’ve been looking for our whole lives?!) and served on a black squid ink brioche bun. It’s pretty much a monochrome burger, which is probably the most Melbourne thing we’ve ever heard of. In need of a burger that matches your all-black-everything outfit *and* taste as good as it looks? This is it.
Next on the list are the incredible prawn and soft shell crab delicacies. If you dream of chomping down on all the shellfish you can handle, the crispy prawn burger coated in light breadcrumbs and served with marie rose dressing, fresh lettuce, tomato, in a brioche bun is juicy and perfectly seasoned. As for the tempura soft shell crab wrap, we’d happily eat this for lunch every day for the rest of the year. Served with a side of spicy jalapeno goma dressing, with a sprinkling of black sesame, beansprouts and wombok salad, this is one Asian-inspired dish that we will definitely be back for, time and time again.
For those of you who are trying to be good (and by ‘be good’, we mean stopping at two potato cakes instead of eight…), their salad bar is crammed full of nutritious options that deliver on flavour. And, of course, there are freshly shucked oysters served by the half-dozen and dozen, for those days when you need a little seafood luxury.
But what about the traditional fish and chip experience? We were lucky enough to try every single fish variety that’s on the menu at Fish & Chippery By The Atlantic and, while it was the rockling burger that stole the show, we literally couldn’t fault any aspect of their tasty fillets. Add a side of freshly made mushy peas and some salt and vinegar covered hot chips, and you’ve got a culinary classic that simply cannot be beaten.
Fish & Chippery By The Atlantic keeps it simple when it comes to service, letting the food speak for itself. The retro-tinged fish and chip eatery has a heated open-air dining area, which is directly opposite the Kings Way footbridge, making it the ideal spot for some fish and chips with a side of people-watching, as well as serving freshly cooked fish with all the trimmings to-go.
Whether you’re on the hunt for a tasty mid-week lunch, taking a stroll along the Crown riverwalk with your significant other, or lusting after a late-night feed as a result of a few bevvies in the city, we’re pretty sure that Fish & Chippery has a freshly caught answer that will solve your hunger problems. Move over, Easey’s, Huxtaburger, 8Bit, and all you beef-touting patty-flippers: This seafood solution has moved right to the top of our must-eat list.
Fish & Chippery By The Atlantic is open seven days a week, from 11am — 11pm. Drop in on Mondays when you can pick up their epic potato cakes for only $1!

Introduced by owner John Wilsbach in June as the Harrisburg Heat's new head coach, Tarik Walker will hold an open tryout on Sept. 6 at Sports City Harrisburg. Walker also has his first player under contract since forward Chris Hall came to terms with the MASL club on Thursday.
Impressed by his productivity during the second half of last season, the Harrisburg Heat on Thursday signed forward Chris Hall to a contract for the 2014-15 season.
In eight games last season for the indoor-playing Heat (4-12), the 24-year-old Hall racked up 10 points on seven goals and three assists. Prior to signing with the Heat, Hall had been playing for amateur side Real Harrisburg F.C.
Former Lebanon Valley College star Chris Hall has re-signed with the Major Arena Soccer League's Harrisburg Heat. Hall netted 10 points (7 goals, 3 assists) in 8 games last season with the indoor club.
A Warwick High School graduate, Hall played in 80 games at Lebanon Valley College before wrapping up his career in 2011. In those 80 contests, Hall pocketed a school-record 32 finishes for the Flying Dutchmen.
Terms of Hall's deal with the Heat were not made public.
The Heat will open its first Major Arena Soccer League season under new head coach Tarik Walker on Nov. 1 in Detroit. The reconfigured MASL is a consolidation of the former Professional Arena Soccer League that included the Heat for two seasons and the Major Indoor Soccer League.
Harrisburg, which is shifting to the State Farm Show Complex's 7,200-seat Large Arena after playing two seasons in the Equine Arena, will begin the home portion of its 20-game schedule on Nov. 15 against Detroit.
Walker, who played for the original Heat franchise, will hold an open tryout camp on Sept. 6 at Sports City Harrisburg. After holding two sessions (9-11 a.m./2-4 p.m.) on Sept. 6, Walker will invite wannabes to return for a Sept. 7 workout.
Cost of the tryout is $50 if interested players register in advance and $60 at the door. Interested players can register for the tryout at www.harrisburgheat.com.

Diamond is the hardest natural material known on Earth. Yet diamond is just pure carbon. What is special about this element that makes diamond so hard? Bonds. Chemical bonds.
In a perfect diamond crystal, each C atom makes four connections—bonds—to four other C atoms in a three-dimensional matrix. Four is the greatest number of bonds that is commonly made by atoms, so C atoms maximize their interactions with other atoms. This three-dimensional array of connections extends throughout the diamond crystal, making it essentially one large molecule. Breaking a diamond means breaking every bond at once. Also, the bonds are moderately strong. There are stronger interactions known, but the carbon-carbon connection is fairly strong itself. Not only does a person have to break many connections at once, but also the bonds are strong connections from the start.
Diamond is the hardest known natural substance and is composed solely of the element carbon. Image used with permission (CC SA-BY 3.0; Mario Sarto).
There are other substances that have similar bonding arrangements as diamond does. Silicon dioxide and boron nitride have some similarities, but neither of them comes close to the ultimate hardness of diamond.

Almost three decades after the Bhopal gas leak killed a few thousand people overnight, the struggle continues for its survivors. A number of issues concerning the survivors of the disaster, termed the biggest industrial accident in history, seemed close to resolution this year, but none were resolved. Provision of potable drinking water, removal and disposal of the toxic waste from the Union Carbide factory and even a strict apex court ruling requiring the government to provide full healthcare facilities to the survivors were all just promises made in government offices and court rooms.
The survivor organisations have organised numerous protests and wrote letters requesting the India government to withdraw from the Olympics sponsored by Dow Chemical . In Bhopal and Delhi, hundreds of protesters have been asking the prime minister of India to explain why their plight has not improved in the past 28 years.
For officials, Bhopal has become an “emotive issue” and thus resolutions planned and proposed always failed to take off. Though there is a Bhopal Gas Tragedy Relief and Rehabilitation department, most of the decisions require to be approved and executed by the Central government. The main concerns following the December 1984 disaster have been: groundwater and soil contamination, poor health facilities, incorrect count of those affected by the gas leak, disposal of the toxic waste at the Union Carbide factory site, making Dow criminally liable for the gas leak and subsequent events and lack of government involvement in the continuing litigation in the United States of America.
One positive development in 2012 was the official acknowledgement of groundwater  contamination around the Union Carbide factory. Despite studies by reliable organisations and laboratories , the Government of India and the Madhya Pradesh government have denied groundwater contamination in and around the Union Carbide factory (also see ‘The chemistry of living death’  and ‘The poison piles up’ ) .
Despite the apex court coming down heavily on the government and other agencies involved in providing relief to Bhopal gas leak victims, the government has failed to take any action. In August, the Supreme court, while disposing of a public interest petition ordered better health facilities for Bhopal gas victims , directed that standard treatment protocols be implemented and noted that public studies on the disaster-affected people need to be carried out.
There seems to be no end to the delay. In October, the Madhya Pradesh High Court lifted the seven-year old stay on summoning Dow Chemical—the parent company of Union Carbide . Whether the show-cause notice is ever given to Dow and whether the company actually appears in court remains to be seen. Meawnhile, the numerous cases continue to drag (see Bhopal gas leak: curative petition downplays number of deaths ; SC refuses to restore stiffer charges for Bhopal disaster accused  and Union Carbide refuses more compensation to Bhopal gas leak victims ).
There has been an attempt to rework the corporate liability and bring the chemical giant Dow Chemical to book. The company has consistently denied any responsibility for the 1984 disaster. But legal experts and activists say  the company is hiding behind a corporate veil and is accountable (also see ‘The Bhopal legacy: reworking corporate liability’ ).
In an attempt to bring the big corporate giant to book, activists have even filed a case in the US. But the case was dismissed for the third time in a decade by a district court earlier this year . The activists appealed against this dismissal in late November.
Along with the protests and ongoing court cases to mark 28 years of the gas leak, the Bhopal survivors organisations circulated a charter of demands, titled Corporations and Governments in USA and India must ensure justice and a life of dignity for the Bhopal survivors and their children well before the fourth decade begins (see ‘Charter of demands’). It says the 25,000 people are dead and numbers are still mounting and 150,000 are battling chronic illnesses.

A Clairemont resident took this photo of a known neighborhood thief before and after he cased neighborhood mailboxes.
San Diego is one of the safest regions in the U.S. according to a report released by the county in April. Data from 2017 reflects the fourth-lowest violent crime rate since 1980 and the lowest property crime rate ever. This report was released on the heels of a brand new neighborhood policing division formed in March.
One Pacific Beach resident said the new neighborhood policing division is already paying dividends with the quick removal and clean-up of a homeless encampment along Rose Creek in May (before and after photo).
I surveyed city council offices, planning group members, social media, and individual residents about what they hope from the new division.
Overwhelmingly, transients were mentioned most often. Theft, reckless driving, vandalism/graffiti, and illegal dumping/litter came up next most often.
A Tierrasanta resident said reckless driving has been the number-one complaint; cars and motorcycles race down Tierrasanta Boulevard and Clairemont Mesa Boulevard late at night.
To the news that her neighborhood had no more homeless people, one Midway resident said, "I count at least thirty on my way to get coffee every morning."
According to Scott Wahl, captain of the new policing division, concerns will be addressed neighborhood-by-neighborhood. Wahl said since his officers won't be answering radio calls, it will allow more flexibility in addressing chronic concerns. The entire division has the option of focusing on one issue or one neighborhood on any given day.
Even though illegal dumping/littering was a top-five concern city-wide, police data showed only 26 reported incidents last summer.
One Pacific Beach resident said the new division is paying dividends with the quick removal and clean-up of a homeless encampment along Rose Creek (Mission Bay) in May.
A decrease of 19-percent in the city's homeless population was reported in May from the count done in January. The census tract (65) for the Midway District (Point Loma) counted zero homeless people. To this, one Midway resident said, "I count at least thirty on my way to get coffee every morning."
Theft was the second most mentioned concern. Armed suspect from February robbery downtown.
An Allied Gardens resident called transients "more prominent than ever," while a North Park resident lamented the messes they leave behind making it embarrassing to invite guests to her neighborhood. San Ysidro residents are concerned with transient-related loitering and littering, while Point Loma residents are more concerned about aggressive transients. Northwestern neighborhoods (includes Carmel Valley) expressed no transient-related concerns. A Mira Mesa resident had some, but acknowledged they don't have it as bad as other areas.
Reckless driving was the third most mentioned concern. In January, an intoxicted driver crashed into this building for underserved youth.
Even though transient-related concerns are high, police data from mid-May to mid-August 2017 show transients involved in less than four percent of incidents (Downtown and Point Loma had the most). Disturbing the peace was the top transient-related incident.
Vandalism and graffiti were the fourth most mentioned concern.
A homeless man took residence under my neighbor's kitchen window in April. He told me "the canyon is full." I witnessed him refusing help from the homeless outreach team. The officer told me that 98 percent refuse help.
Wahl said that number is closer to 89 percent. "This year, with just below 3,000 [homeless] people contacted, about seven percent have accepted placement."
Theft was the second most mentioned concern. According to Crimemapping (mid-April to mid-May), Downtown had about 28 percent of all reported thefts. Vehicle break-ins were the most frequent form of theft city-wide.
Police data showed more than 18,000 incidents of theft; downtown, City Heights, and La Jolla have the highest numbers. Burglary was the most common theft reported; La Jolla has the most.
Reckless driving was the third most mentioned concern. City Heights, Pacific Beach, and downtown had the highest number of incidents per police data. The neighborhoods that logged the most traffic stops were downtown, City Heights, and Encanto. One March traffic stop resulted in the arrest of someone with a warrant and confiscation of two AR-15 short barrel rifles with serial numbers missing.
Vandalism and graffiti were the fourth most mentioned concerns. Police data from last summer logged near 900 incidents; City Heights, downtown, and Encanto have the most.
Even though illegal dumping and litter wrapped up the list of top five concerns, only 26 incidents were logged in police data last summer.
City-wide, police data showed theft and disturbing the peace as the most reported incidents (more than 18,000 each). Downtown and City Heights were the neighborhoods with the most incidents on both counts.
Lesser reported incidents included: illegal parking (5083), assaults/guns (4782), drug/alcohol-related incidents (2051), indecent exposure (366), animal-related issues (302), arson (86), and prostitution (46).

The City just dumped the enforcement of "quality of life" issues why would anyone think that they give a crap about all the issues noted in the article. The City touts low crime rates but how many reported crimes and "blown off" by dispatch or the responding police officers. No report taken crime not committed.
Visduh June 10, 2018 @ 1:41 p.m.
The matter of crimes going unreported is a big one. Especially with the SDPD, and we've seen plenty of reports and stories about their indifference, many people just figure that there's no point in making an official report or complaint. If you're sure nothing will be done, why take the time and expend the effort? So, I think that they are hiding behind those statistics, and hoping the crime will go away. In many ways it is the low-level stuff that spoils the neighborhood. You pay plenty to live here, at the beach or in a tony district, and then are faced with homeless camps, graffiti, loose dogs, trash, theft and vandalism. It just ain't fair!
dwbat June 10, 2018 @ 5:25 p.m.
That's why a friend left North Park, and moved back to his native Wichita, Kansas. He bought a large, beautiful condo for a fraction of what they cost here. There's no "homeless camps, graffiti, loose dogs, trash, theft and vandalism" in his neighborhood. His mortgage is less than his rent for a North Park rundown apartment. Cheaper gas and car insurance, and no traffic jams or parking problems. One bad aspect: it's Trump country.
Visduh June 10, 2018 @ 7:58 p.m.
And it's also Kansas--the climate just doesn't compare. But if it is his native territory, he may get comfortable there, and the lower cost of living can help with the adjustment.

The numbers seem low. I know based on my own experiences, neighbors and those I've interviewed don't report things for a myriad of reasons. Everything from not wanting to be on hold to worrying about retaliation. Neighbors have witnessed crimes and asked me to report them. I always tell them they have to do it since I didn't witness it. The police ask questions which only someone that has witnessed a crime/incident can report on accurately.

Power Analyser is used to measure the electrical parameters including Volt, Amps, PF, kW, kVA, kVAr, Hz etc. It has detachable CTs and VTs which are connected to 3 phase and single phase lines. It can be used in both LT & HT connections without any interruption in power supply i.e. can be applied on line. Some of the Power Analysers can record the measured data over a long period which can be downloaded in PC using appropriate connector and software. Some advanced instruments are also available that can measure harmonics.
Clamp Meter is used to measure the electrical parameters including Volt, Amps, PF, kW, kVA, kVAr, Hz etc. It has CT and VT which are connected to 3 phase and single phase lines. It can be used without any interruption in power supply i.e. can be applied on line.
The Pitot Tube is an useful instrument to measure the air or fluid flow velocities in a duct, channel or pipe. Pitot Tubes are not recommended for low velocity flow. Due to low dynamic pressure, the readings might have significant error.
This instrument is being used to measure the temperature of a heat source without making any direct contact with it. This instrument is ideal to measure skin temperature of kilns, furnaces etc. Infrared Thermometers are available with various temperature ranges for different application.
The water flow meter uses Doppler effect or Ultrasonic principle to measure the water flow rate. It consists of a transmitter and receiver which are placed in contact of the pipe. Flow rate of water and other fluids can be measured using this device.
Stroboscope is an instrument for measuring the frequency or RPM of a rotating object. It emits a series of brief, intense flashing lights at specific intervals.when the no. flashings per minute adjusted equal to the RPM of the rotating object, the rotating object appears to be stationary.
An anemometer is an instrument used to measure the speed of air or other gases. It consists of a fan that is being placed in direction of air or gas flow. It can be used for both contained flow e.g. air or gas flow in a duct, and unconfined flow e.g. atmospheric wind. Air flow speed of fans, blowers etc. can be measured by using this instrument.
Hygrometer is an instrument used for measuring the relative humidity or amount of water vapour in air. Some instruments also shows the Dry Bulb Temperature and Wet Bulb Temperature in addition.
Flue gas analyser is used to measure the contents of various components of flue gas/exhaust gas caused by fuel combustion. This instrument has in-built chemical cells for measuring various gases such as O2, CO, CO2, SOx and NOx. This also measures the tempearture of the flue gas. It has a long probe that should be inserted in the duct where the flue gas flows for sample collection.
Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect leaks in compressed air line or other gas supply line. Leaks emit sound, however in case of smaller leaks, the frequency is too high for human ears to detect it. Ultrasonic Leak Detector converts these sounds into an audible range for easy detection.
Tachometer is an instrument which can be used to measure the spped of rotation or RPM as well as linear speed where direct contact with the rotating or moving object can be done. Tachometers are widely used to measure rotational speed of motors, conveyor belts, and other moving or rotating systems.
The K Type Thermocouple is the most common type of thermocouple. Being inexpensive, it is used in various places where contact required for measurement but hazardous for instruments like temperature of water sump or water having sodic content etc. Commonly the junction is made of Nickel-Chromium or Nickel-Alumel. These can be easily connected with majority of the infrared thermometer or digital contact thermometer.
Lux meter is a widely used device to measure the illumination level of a lighting source or combination of sources. It consists of a photo cell which senses the light output, converts to electrical impulses displays the illumination level in lux.
The Contact Thermometers are used to measure temperatures of flue gas, hot air, hot water etc. These are consists of a thermocouple enclosed in a probe which can be inserted in flue gas, hot air, hot water etc. to measure the temperature. These are available with various temperature ranges for different application.
Thermal Imagers are used to discover thermal anomalies or analyze thermal processes. It is the safest and fastest method as no surface contact is required for measurement and the device displays the hotspots, defects in insulation, openings etc. instantly in infrared mode as well as normal mode. The device also capable to record video and capture photo of the observed surfaces. This device is available for various temperature range for different application area.
Visguage is a hand held equipment for onsite measurement of oil viscosity. There is no calculation etc. required and the result can be obtained immediately. Visguage can be used to check any oil like light spindle oil, transformer oil, lubrication oil, heavy gear oil etc. It compares the viscosity of the sample oil with an oil of known viscosity. The reading shows viscosity in centistokes at 40oC if the sample is in room temperature (27oC).
Lube Oil Test Kit measures a lubricants key properties like viscosity, water content, salt content, base number (alkalinity) and insolubles. This is important in ensuring smooth and efficient running of machineries. Lube oil tests are carried out to monitor the deterioration of lube oil, check for contamination with other oil, water and bacterial attack, avoid damage to the lubricating part of the machinery, determine any leak or source of contamination of oil and assess the performance of the lube oil.
Digital manometers are versatile, handheld, and battery operated manometers used to measure the pressure and pressure differentials. It consists of two ports, negative and positive with piping arrangement. For measuring single positive pressure, connect the positive port to the positive pressure zone and vent the opposite port to the atmosphere. For measuring differential positive pressure, connect the lower positive pressure to the negative port and the higher positive pressure to the positive port and the device calculates the pressure differential.
U-Tube Manometer is a commonly used instrument to measure the differential pressure. It consists of a u-tube with piping arrangement. Each end of the tube are connected with pipes from the two different pressure zone. The scale on the tube itself shows the pressure difference. It can be used to measure simply pressure when one side is open to atmosphere.
A pH meter is a scientific instrument that measures the hydrogen-ion activity in water-based solutions, indicating its acidity or alkalinity expressed as pH. Portable type pH meters are available for onsite measurement. Some advanced variants have RS232 output, Data Hold, 0C or 0F selectable, auto turn off, overload indication, automatic or manual temperature compensation etc.
An electrical conductivity meter (EC meter) measures the electrical conductivity of a solution. It is commonly used to measure the amount of salts or impurities in the water. Portable type EC Meters are available for onsite measurement. These are equipped with a probe and when the probe is inserted in the liquid to be measured, the meter applies voltage between two electrodes inside the probe. Electrical resistance from the solution causes a drop in voltage, which is detected by the device. This value indicates the total dissolved solids. Devices are available which indicates both Electrical Conductivity and TDS.
A TDS meter indicates the total dissolved solids (TDS) of a solution, i.e. the concentration of dissolved solid particles. TDS is a volume measure of ionized solids and for that reason EC can be used to estimate TDS. Pure water has virtually zero conductivity. Dissolved ionized solids, such as salts and minerals increase the electrical conductivity of a solution whereas dissolved organic solids, such as sugar, and microscopic solid particles, such as colloids, do not significantly affect the conductivity of a solution, and are not taken into account. Devices are available which indicates both TDS and Electrical Conductivity. Usually TDS is calculated by converting the EC by a factor of 0.5 to 1.0 times the EC, depending upon the levels.
The steam trap failure indicators are hand-held device for the detection of steam leaks through steam traps. These devices are used in conjuction with either a sensor chamber, complete with sensor, installed immediately upstream of a steam trap, or a steam trap with a built-in sensor. The system consists of a sensor chamber, sensor, steam trap failure indicator with indicator cable. It is advisable to install a sensor chamber assembly to each of the steam traps to be tested, whereas the portable steam trap failure indicator can be used to check all the sensor chambers installed. It is to be mentioned here that the sensor chambers should not be installed when superheated steam conditions can take place at the traps.
A digital multimeter is used to measure basic electrical parameters including voltage, current and resistance. Some variants include additional functions such as frequency, continuity etc. It is a standard diagnostic tool for technicians in the electrical/electronic industries to measure a variety of different parameters of an electrical circuit.

2 How does the Gazebo Arrive ?
I love our gazebos, I think you are hard pressed to find a comparable product for the money and in the materials that are offered. They are now in pressure treated, tanalised timber or the cracking Larch timber. This page shows our full range of gazebos.
Price of course is always a consideration when looking at products but I highly recommend you look at Larch, yes it’s more expensive but the benefits may just outway the extra outlay. I wrote an article a little while ago on larch timber, please see this page: European Larch Timber.
The gazebo I am featuring in this article is the Samos Larch Rectangular Gazebo.
This post is about my advice about the installation of Gazebos, please note it is ONLY my personal view, other people fitting these gazebos may have a better way of doing it.
Plans are supplied with every Gazebo such as this, the picture links to the plans, as an example these are of the very popular Grande Gazebo. The Grande Gazebo is the pressure treated pine version of the one I’m featuring here.
Gazebo plans example of what it sent with your gazebo order.
Personally I have never had a problem with these plans, the same as I haven’t with our log cabins plans, this is from day one of my first ever install. But a few customers have had some problems and need a little extra help. I wrote a post on installation advice for log cabins.
This post will be similar for customers that need a different point of view and may need help with some questions while installing.
The plans are good, they show you exactly where the parts go. They then leave you to your own skills and interpretation according to your base, requirements and final finished product. The Gazebos are a full on building and need to be treated as such. It is impossible to give every possible instruction on how to install these, some common sense, DIY skill and understanding needs to be applied. That’s the bit I enjoy when installing all our buildings – The ability to change and adapt to what I require and what my customer wants.
So, with that said, lets deviate from the plans that come with the gazebo, this is my personal way of doing things and NOT the way I am instructed to do it by the plans (other than ensuring the correct parts are in the correct position) Here’s some information and tips from my experience. Of course you can follow the plans, follow my advice or devise your own method, this is a building and it’s up to you how you want to accomplish the install.
How does the Gazebo Arrive ?
The gazebo will arrive exactly like our log cabins, on a really big lorry with a really handy forklift attached to it. Please see this page for more details: Delivery of Large Tuin Buildings.
This is the pallet that will be delivered.
Please note a tanalised, pressure treated gazebo will be similar to the above.
There is a difference though, the Larch gazebo pallet is packed slightly different and each layer is kept apart by slats to allow the wood to dry more and to be kept straight and separate from each other. This is not found in the pressure treated gazebo version and nor does it need to be.
Slats are present in every layer in the Larch Gazebo. They are stapled on and staples may need to be removed by means of a set of pliers, I find fine point nose pliers the best to remove them.
Removing the slats which separate the layers of timber in the larch gazebo.
Nope, it’s not labelled and why would it need to be? It’s very simple to see what are the roof boards and what is the structure simply by the size and shape of the timbers. As I’m unpacking I will sort out the various parts as I come across them in the pallet. Please note sometimes the pallets can be wet if it has rained during loading or brief storing. We tend to keep the tanalised gazebos outside but protected with weed matting to act as shade to prevent discolouration. If you find your gazebo is wet as you unpack please do not let this be of concern as of course it is designed to be outside in all weathers for the next 20 years.
As I come across the roof boards in the pack I will put them in the sections of roof I’m expecting: for square roofs each side will be the same, for a rectangular roof I am expecting two triangle roofs and two extended triangles. It is far easier to do this as you unpack.
Extended triangle roof boards laid out, two sets for both sides in the case of a rectangular gazebo.
As well as laying out the roof boards in order I’m also identifying the other parts as I go, the posts and ring beam are very easy to spot.
Layout the ring beam as you go. Putting it into it’s rough final position.
Corner braces are easy to spot as well.
King pin blocks which are used where the rafters connect at the points. A rectangular pyramid roof will have two.
The corner rafters can be easily identified by their length and also by the birdsmouth notch which will sit over the corner of the ring beam. Note the rafters that form the sides are not notched.
The Gazebo fitting kit. It’s pretty simple, the long nails are for the thickest bits of wood – the rafters. The medium ones for the ring beam, legs and corner supports and the very short ones will be used for the lateral bracing slats of which there are two in a rectangular roof gazebo. Nails are supplied for the roof boards. Felt tacks are for your final roof covering. I differ from the advice in the plans of number and placement of screws, you will see from the following pictures. For instance with the rafters I will only use one screw but use double screws elsewhere. It is of course up to you. You may also want to add additional fixings as you see fit.
You only need two people to carry out the install.
It is easier to find the EXACT location of where post holders should be fitted while accounting for timber not being an exact product to work with.
It is safer, stronger and quicker.
No strain is placed on any joints, some plans will show building the gazebo on its side and then lifting into position, I have found this method very hard to do and can put strain on the joints.
You only really need basic tools for fitting the gazebo. Two battery powered drills helps save time and clamps are essential really to make a good job, we use them a lot in fitting both gazebos and also log cabins. A very useful tool!
Tools include: Two Step Ladders, Two drills, hammers, pliers, long spirit level, marker pen, tape measure and the all important clamps. You will also need a saw for trimming roof boards.
I had already laid the main ring beam parts in the location that it will be installed in, now I will carefully check the measurements against the plans. Please note that with square roofs there will be two shorter parts and two longer parts so it can form a square.
Measure the beams carefully against the plans and check they are in the right position.
Regardless of what I am installing I will always use pilot holes every time a screw is used. This is particularly important when working with Larch. ALWAYS pilot hole!
Always pilot hole every location that a screw is going to be used, it creates a far tighter joint and generally stops a screw head being buried for a better finish and easier to take apart. It’s also a lot easier!
Screw the ring beam together, I use the medium size screws, two in each joint. For square roofs all of them will be joined. For the rectangular roof this is not possible until the center post is installed.
Using clamps we will temporarily fix the center joint together. Using a tape measure we check they are the same distance apart using the end beam as a reference. We then make sure the ring beam is 100% square. (If you are not sure how to square please see the relevant section our log cabin installation advice page).
Measuring and squaring the ring beam. The center joint is temporarily held with clamps.
Ensuring the ring beam is square and in the final install position. Note we are using a block in the middle to stop sag of the tape for a more accurate measurement.
With the ring beam of the gazebo square and in the final position of where it will be we can now mark exactly where the legs will be. This saves a lot of measuring and takes into account the fact that timber is not always millimeter perfect.
Putting the post in upside down in their finished location we can then mark around the post to get the exact position of the posts in relation to the ring beam.
Marking the location of the corner post.
In the case of rectangle gazebos you will also mark the location of the middle post.
With marks in place you can then exactly position your post holders.
Post holder location marked and can then be secured knowing it is 100% accurate.
We have several types of post anchors available for use in soft / hard ground. It is very important to secure the posts and the holders do help with this. Without securing the posts if they are knocked during its lifetime you could well have some problems.
Of course there are also other methods which you may wish to use or devise yourself. Like any of our buildings it is essential the gazebo is held square and 100% straight in both plains.
We hide packers inside the post holders to help level the gazebo as breaking the ground was not possible.
Using the ring beam to find the exact location of the post holders when concreting them in.
If you don’t like the look of the post holders you can always box them in as was done here.
Boxing in the post holders to hide them.
Using our clamps again we will fit two posts into the corner of one section of the ring beam.
Clamping the post into one end of the ring beam.
Screws into the posts through the ring beam. We’re still using the medium size screws.
Post screwed into position. I am using more screws than the plans may show for strength.
Next we clamp the center post to hold it in position. It is easier at this point to take the second part of the ring beam apart again clamping and fitting each section as you go.

Clamping and fitting each post as you go.
Fixing the center post. I am still using the medium size screws.
Post and ring beam sections using the clamp, pilot holes and finally screws.
Clamps are VERY useful in the installation of a gazebo.
With the posts and ring beam fitted we can now add the corner support bracing. I deviate from the plans here as well. I prefer to set the bracing inside the ring beam. This is what it should look like, you will see as per the plans it is under the ring beam and against the post.
Corner brace on the underside of the ring beam.
I feel it makes for a stronger joint and more stable.
I can make minute adjustments easier to make sure the post is at a perfect right angle and 100% upright.
If there is any slight deviation in the cut angle I can allow for this and still have a lovely tight joint on the leg for aesthetic reasons.
It gives greater head room at the corners and less chance of bashing your head.
It is of course up to you and what you prefer when fitting the corner braces, this is only my personal preferred method.
Corner brace, my preferred method is to set them inside the ring beam.
Preparation always makes it quicker so consider pre-drilling the braces before installing them all together.
Pre-drilling the corner braces, doing them all together helps to speed up the install process.
It’s a good idea to brace the center section until the roof is being fitted and while you are fitting the corner braces as it keeps everything nice and straight.
You may see from the plans depending on your particular gazebo that they show it being built and then lifted on to the three posts. As I have shown my method is an alternative that you may wish to consider. I find it easier and you only need two people. It is of course up to you though how you think it is best to do. This method is of course also highly relevant for the flat roof gazebos.
With the ring beam, braces and posts fitted we can now move on to the roof install.
I’ve decided to do the roof install in a separate post as much of it is also very relevant to our log cabins so there will be combined advice.
Please see the Pyramid roof installation advice post.
Installation advice for pyramid roofs.
The flat roof installation is a doddle once the main structure is up and doesn’t need any further explanation.
Flat roof modern gazebo installation is very straightforward.

Absolutely fantastic write up Richard, finally a truly high quality guide. Can’t thank you enough – the pictures were outstanding.
I am considering buying a grande gazebo but was wondering whether it is can be fitted on top of of a wood deck and which post fittings will be required?
But if it was me I would not use these. I would send screws through at an angle through the post and into a joist supporting the deck (pilot hole first!). This way I do not have to look at the post holder which personally I do not find very aesthetically pleasing, the post will then be supported, two or three screws maybe necessary. You could also consider using L brackets to secure a post.
Hi we have had your gazebo fitted this week, it look super but we have a problem with the net side that i have also purchased, there’s no fitting instruction???? Please can we have some asap. please. thank you Wendy.
