There are hundreds of thousands of sites online today, and nearly every business that is looking to succeed has added to that vast quantity by making a site of their own. Trying to get your site to the top isn’t as easy as it once was, and those interested in staying ahead of their competition must create effective websites.
The look of your website is everything. If the site’s design doesn’t look professional, you can guarantee that potential clients will be quick to hit the back button. To make sure that you capture quick conversions, go the extra mile and pay for a professional design.
Content is essentially one of the best forms of SEO available, and every website needs to make sure that it is posting relevant articles. Not only does web content need to pertain to the site itself, but it also needs to be interesting and informative. Great content will keep readers coming back, with drive up rankings, and will overall increase business.
If your site is a pain to navigate through, you will quickly lose business. If users struggle to find the information that they need about your organization or products, they will move on to your competitors. Make sure all information pertinent to your business is easy to get to, if not on the primary landing page.
Titles and meta titles and descriptions are important when producing a SEO friendly site. Also the phrases used within your content and links to your site are highly important when trying to raise your site’s rank in the search engines. If you are struggling with getting your site to the top, don’t be afraid to hire a professional. In the same way that it is difficult to compete for business against sites that are professionally designed, it is difficult for a business to compete in the search results against sites that have had professional SEO help.
Every website also needs to have a Facebook and Twitter page, as well as accounts on various other social networking sites, to remain effective. It doesn’t take paid surveys for business owners to know that everyone is chatting through social media, and one of the best ways to drive business to your site is by linking your social media accounts to your business’s primary landing page.
Getting ahead on the web is a bit difficult, but with the right site design, some SEO work, and social media integration, business owners allow themselves the opportunity to get ahead of their competition. If you find that your site is lagging behind, take the above tips and analyze your site. You may find that a few quick tweaks to content or simply signing up for a social networking account was all your business needed to raise its rank on the major search engines.

Welcome to Dead Fish Grill in Belton, Texas! We are a lakefront restaurant conveniently located within driving distance from Temple, Harker Heights, Killeen and Waco.

We are a casual dining restaurant located on beautiful Belton Lake in Belton, Texas. Since opening in July 2008, we have become well-known for our great atmosphere, fantastic margaritas and delicious food.
In the early 1950s the Army Corps of Engineers started construction of Belton Lake in central Texas. A young entrepreneur had a big idea. During the construction of Belton Lake, Frank Smith sold hot dogs and cold drinks to the construction workers during the hot, Texas afternoons. He iced down sodas in the family’s washtub and cooked hot dogs on a fire. Fifty years later, Frank’s legacy lives on through a full-service restaurant and a newly-renovated marina where he began his venture over 55 years ago.
Get a live look at the lake!

Evidence typically includes testimony of witnesses, documents, photographs, items of damaged property, government records, videos and laboratory reports. Rules that are as strict as they are quirky and technical govern what types of evidence can be properly admitted as part of a trial. For example, the hearsay rule purports to prevent secondhand testimony of the 'he said, she said' variety, but the existence of dozens of exceptions often means that hairsplitting lawyers can find a way to introduce such testimony into evidence.

Tulsion® Speciality Ion Exchange resins for Monoethylene Glycol Cycle Water Purification.
Mono-ethylene glycol (MEG) is a commercially important intermediate for fibre manufacturing. It is a major raw material for polyester fibre, filament and yarn manufacturing.
Ethylene Glycol is manufactured by hydrolysis of ethylene oxide. The water used in excess proportion, during the manufacture process, is separated from MEG, and recycled for hydrolysis. The quality of this water (MEG Cycle water) used for hydrolysis is extremely critical. It contains impurities like mineral salts and free weak organic acids such as formic acid, acetic acids and needs to be purified before reaction. Presence of organic acids could be highly detrimental to the quality of ethylene glycol, as they are potential ultra-violet (UV) light absorbers. Thermax resins are globally used for MEG Cycle water treatment.

Troy-based Continental Services has received funding from a Boston-based private equity investor, the firm announced Wednesday.
New Heritage Capital LLC, which targets founder-owned businesses, backed the food management company through its Private IPO solution. The program provides owners with strategy, operational and financial consultation to help grow their companies.
Continental CEO Jim Bardy, who founded the company in 1989, will continue to lead the company's strategic planning and operations.
"Heritage's experience with backing founder-owned businesses will prove invaluable as we enter our next phase of expansion with a continued focus on delivering industry-leading service to our customers," he said in a statement.
Continental is Michigan's largest food services company with a staff of more than 900 that manages more than 1,400 events each year. The company has 10 brands, including Market Twenty 4 Seven, which offers vending services; Forte Belanger, which offers event management; Infinity-Ovation Yacht Charters; Continental Café and Catering; and the Waterview Loft event venue.
Some of the company's clients include DTE Energy Co., the Kresge Foundation, and the University of Michigan.
Melissa Barry, a partner at Heritage, said this is the firm's first investment in the Detroit area, calling it a vibrant community that will continue to grow.
"We think the food service space is really interesting due to the ongoing transformation in how employers are starting to think of food service as a way to attract and retain employees," she said. "Good food service offerings improve employee wellness, satisfaction and collaboration. We like companies who are playing into those dynamics and Continental is at the forefront of this trend with its high-touch, innovative and collaborative service offering."

A ghostwriter? That’s a writer who tried to be a real writer but failed, right? And now sells herself for rent money?
5. and throw your pencil up in a grandiose display of surrender.
5. and allow all that bitterness to seep into your finished work.
Of course, there is a small portion of the ghostwriting population that has navigated away from this page because they can’t handle the truth. That’s why clients go to great lengths to protect themselves against loophole-lookers. But I can tell you, for certain, that not all ghostwriters are bitter and washed-up working girls (or guys), selling their words for nothing more than rent. Many haven’t forgotten the lure, the romance, the slow seduction of a well-crafted sentence; in fact, they ask for much more than rent money when giving it up. They also demand plenty of personal satisfaction, writing experience, and priceless relationships, payable during the ghostwriting process.

Mobility of the arms and shoulders is essential for a safe, strong workout. Before diving into a swim routine or a game of volleyball, it’s smart to warm up your upper body. Any activity that uses the arms and shoulders could cause injury if those muscles aren’t properly stretched out.
With your feet shoulder-width apart, hold your arms straight out to make a ”T” with your upper body. Make clockwise circles with your arms, starting with a small range of motion and working up to circles that use your full range of motion. Do 10 to 15 reps, and then reverse direction. For a more intense warm up, start slow and then ramp up the speed to fully engage the muscles you’ll use for your workout. Do this for 10 to15 seconds.

It's time for our second meetup! After our great first meetup with a more specific topic. We will this time set the focus on CloudFoundry in general. There will be a basic introduction like a CloudFoundry 101 session and a shorter lessens learned session of a startup which switched from Heroku to CloudFoundry.
In this session Christof Marti covers the fundamental knowledge developers need to have to run and manage applications using CloudFoundry. After demonstrating how easy and fast you can deploy an application, create and attach services and scale it on demand, we will dig deeper and see how the deployment process works in detail using buildpacks and how the components of CloudFoundry interact to keep your application running and healthy. Last but not least you will see, what the platform provides to monitor your application and, if there is time, have a brief outlook what will come in the next releases.
Christof Marti is a Senior Researcher and Lecturer (Docent) at the ZHAW School of Engineering and is leading the PaaS research theme of the InIT Cloud Computing Lab (ICCLab (http://blog.zhaw.ch/icclab)), where he is working with CloudFoundry in research and education.
Klimpr is a simple, easy to use mobile application for Android and iPhone which offers an extremely simple way to pay back friends where the recipient is chosen directly from your phone’s contacts. And in the near future users will also be able to pay using Klimpr directly on the web, in stores and in restaurants.
Raffaele is Klimpr’s coding architect with a proven track record in project management. Prior to joining Klimpr as Co-founder and CTO, Raffaele worked for AdNovum where he developed individual software for large banks and also led the development project that resulted in an award-winning mobile banking application.

This could not have made New Yorkers feel very safe about even the briefest of river excursions.
Days after the General Slocum excursion steamer caught fire and sank in the East River, killing over 1,000 people, its older sister ship the Grand Republic — a twin of the doomed vessel, owned by the same company — kept operating along the waters of New York Harbor.
To many, it looked like the ghost of the Slocum.
The Grand Republic often ran in tandem with the Slocum, transporting passengers to the seaside amusements of the Rockaways. During the month of June 1904, the Grand Republic was assigned to the Hudson River, while the Slocum ran the Long Island Sound.
After the Slocum tragedy, steamboat inspectors were heavily scrutinized and excursion companies were accused of endangering lives for a fast dollar.
The retired politician had no tolerance for the bureaucrats he believed were responsible for the Slocum disaster.
Sickles made good on his word, writing Roosevelt and lashing out at the steamer companies in no uncertain terms, the overcrowded General Republic his chief example of their continued malfeasance.
The Slocum disaster obviously hit business hard for the entire excursion industry. The weekend after the Slocum sank, the Grand Republic was supposed to host another church group for a tour of the Hudson, but, understandably, only one-fourth of its passenger list arrived. The Knickerbocker Steamboat Company, owner of the Slocum and Grand Republic, went out of business, and the Grand Republic was sold to another concern.
Still that did not take the Grand Republic off the waters. ‘THE GRAND REPUBLIC STILL RUNS,” declared the Tribune on July 4, 1904.
Four days later, the Grand Republic almost crashed into another steamer off the coast of Coney Island. Two weeks later, with 500 passengers aboard, it slammed into the Kismet steam yacht. In August, the boat was revealed to have the same sort of rotten life preservers that had so doomed the Slocum.
Still that did not take the Grand Republic off the waters. “GRAND REPUBLIC DEFIES ORDERS,” declared the Evening World on August 3, 1904.
The steamboat owners argued with the New York inspectors in the press, neither looking very trustworthy. Eventually the boat owners surrendered the Grand Republic to the government for inspection. Believe it or not, even with hundreds of life preservers declared ‘rotten’ and promptly removed, the boat was eventually declared safe, although its capacity was greatly lowered — from 3,750 to 1,250 passengers, a major financial blow to the owners.
It led a quiet career for many years afterwards, although many feared the boat’s association with the doomed General Slocum and refused to ride it. It resumed trips to the Rockaways and Coney Island, taking tens of thousands of people through New York Harbor for many, many years. And it even returned to taking church groups on day excursions, similar to the journeys that the General Slocum had taken.
You might think this would spell the end for the old steamboat, but no! It remained in the waters, continuing to transport passengers to upstate New York, one of the oldest vessels in service.
The Grand Republic, like its sister ship, was brought down by fire, although luckily without the terrible casualties. In 1924, while docked along 155th Street, a severe dockside blaze caught several boats on fire, including the Grand Republic.
The fire erupted late at night, and thirty men were sleeping aboard the boat at that time. Fortunately, this was the era of the automobiles; car horns from a nearby street awoke two seamen, who safely evacuated the crew. The Grand Republic, however, was lost, eventually sinking into the Hudson River.

Construction calculators solve repetitive problems. They save time. They save frustration. They save money.
Every wall of wainscoting has an unequal number of panels and stiles. That’s because you have to start with a stile and you have to end with a stile. So make the math easier by subtracting the last stile from the overall length of the wall.
If the wall measures 96 in., and the stiles are 3 in. wide, use 93 in. as the working length.
Next, choose a panel size that seems appropriate for the room—say 10 in., then add the stile width to arrive at a unit measurement for both the stile and the panel. In this case, 10 in. + 3 in. = 13 in., which is the unit measurement.
Divide the working length of the wall by the unit measurement. On a construction calculator, enter 93 and press the Inch key. Now press Memory +. That way you can use the number again without having to enter it again! And you’ll need to use it again.
Press the ÷ (divide) key and enter 13 in. (remember, enter “13” and press the Inch key). Then press the = key. The result will be 7 1/8 in. You’ll almost always end up with an uneven fractional number the first time you divide the working length by the unit size. That’s because the panel width must be adjusted slightly to fit the length of the wall.
To adjust the panel width, round that fractional quotient to the nearest whole number—in this case, divide 93 in. by 7. To make it easier and quicker, this time, instead of entering 93 in., press the Rcl button (Recall) and then the M+ button.
Next, press the ÷ (divide) key, enter 7; finally, press the = key. The result will be 13 5/16 in. That’s the location of the second stile—the first stile from the corner.
To lay out the third stile, simply press the + button once, then press the = button.
For the fourth stile, and all the others, do not press the + button! Just press the = button—over and over again.
The calculator will continue to add the decimal fraction to itself (13.28571), each time rounding off to the nearest 1/16 in. The panel sizes will be within 1/32 in. of each other.

Bagel and Cookie are not related, but they are deeply bonded. Cookie is a Pocket Beagle measuring only 12 inches and weighing 15 lbs. She is delicate and frightened as she leans against Bagel. The two beagles were surrendered at Palo Alto Animal Services by their owners who had become homeless.
The distress of these two 10-year-old dogs was apparent. Cookie never moved from Bagel’s side and shivered uncontrollably for the first two weeks they were in the kennel. They barked almost constantly and that, together with their elderly status, made adoption difficult.
We decided to foster Bagel and Cookie when it was apparent they were anxious and not thriving. Their adaptation to our household was another thing: we had not taken proper steps to introduce these two kids to our resident beagles, and so all the challenge of territory and hierarchy emerged. The evening walks were quite a spectacle as Geoff was pulled along by our pack of four strong, energetic beagles.
We attended the Saturday afternoon meetings at the Humane Society of Silicon Valley (HSSV) in Milpitas and there met the wonderful Linea McPherson, President of Nor Cal Beagle Rescue. Linea decided to take them under her care while leaving them in our home as fosters, and so we settled in, waiting for the right home to appear.
In a magical coincidence Pam Warrior, a vet tech at Stanford Animal Hospital, saw a poster with a photo and description of Bagel and Cookie. Remembering Gwen, a client who had lost her two beloved beagles 2 years before, Pam made the phone call, encouraging Gwen to visit Bagel and Cookie.
When Gwen dropped by two days later, it was love at first sight! The connection between Bagel, Cookie, and Gwen was instantaneous, and our two foster kids went home with her that day! Since then we have seen them at a Beagle Meetup and Gwen has sent us photos of the two nestling together in their new home, as happy as any dogs can be.
This was a miracle match up; finding a perfect home for a bonded pair of elderly beagles is not easy. Gwen still had that empty place after losing her two pets and she was now ready to bring these two little souls into her heart.

Good Morning! For me this is Wednesday go to meeting day! All the meetings I’m attending today are important, but one of the meetings is of particular importance to me. So, this morning I was up and preparing early.
So, what do you do when you want to ensure success at your meeting? I have a few tips to help ensure a successful meeting, whether it is at church or in the workplace.
Pray. Before you start preparing ask God to help you know what you need to do and to guide you toward the best outcome.
If you have had a bad experience in the past, this is the time to let that go. It’s a new day.
It’s Not About You! Also it is important to remember this meeting is not about you. It’s about what’s on the agenda.
So, don’t get caught up in a desire to be remembered for the meeting. Your heavenly reward will be so much better anyway!
Make sure the meeting is really needed. There is nothing worse than sitting in a meeting knowing you have things to do when everything could have been resolved in a short personal conversation, email or text.
Review the attendees. It’s important to make sure the right people are attending, but make sure you don’t invite too many because it may be difficult to get anything accomplished.
Prepare an agenda with a timeline. It’s good to have an agenda to keep attendees on track and ensure all important points are covered. Don’t include too many items. It’s better to have a follow-up meeting than a meeting that lasts too long. Also, an agenda informs the attendees of what the meeting is about and what direction it needs to go.
Have a sign-in sheet. The sign-in sheet provides attendance information, but that is where I like to collect additional contact information, and availability.
Start on time. While I can understand not wanting to go back and explain what someone has missed, don’t hold up the meeting because someone is running late. It’s disrespectful to those who have given up time out of their schedule to attend. If you are attending a meeting and you’re late, apologize.
Unfortunately, starting a meeting with a prayer is not always an option. If it is, by all means do it. If not, you can always say a silent prayer whether you are the leader or an attendee. I’m thankful that in my area, prayer is usually welcomed.
Facilitate. Encourage participation and monitor contributions to the discussion, while keeping the meeting moving. If someone brings up a point that is not on the agenda. Simply explain that their point is good, but it should be addressed at a future meeting.
Take notes. In many meetings it is not necessary to write down what every person says. Instead, it is helpful is to jot down important points, task assignments, and future meeting dates. If you need to remember what every person says, bring a recording device.
End on time with a plan. Toward the end of the meeting, make sure everyone knows why they were at the meeting and the direction they need to go. Ensure the meeting doesn’t go over time. It is better to plan a follow-up meeting. Ensure any follow-up meetings are scheduled before attendees leave.
Follow-up after the meeting. I like to send an email restating what has taken place, or a summary of discussions and decisions. More formal meetings might have minutes. This helps refresh the attendees’ memories. When you have several meetings in one day, it may be difficult to remember everything that happened at one particular meeting. An added bonus is you can restate when and where the next meeting will take place.
If the meeting did not seem to go the direction you wanted, remember that God has a bigger plan and you asked for His guidance. I’ve prayed about situations before and it seemed like God didn’t answer my prayers. Later, I found out He did. So, have faith and trust.
Well, I’d better get busy! If you are involved in planning or participating in meetings, I hope these tips will help you. God bless you.
Next Post Forgiveness Thursday – Hang Tough!
I am not a religious person,I tried but it is just not me but, I consider myself a spiritual person and a believer.I still like to believe in kindness and compassion,love and ,despite it all,in human kind.That said I have to say I enjoy your post very much.Good thoughts are good thoughts,no matter which God or not God ‘s eyes you see them through.Thank you for sharing them.
Thank you so much for this post, I actually needed it today. It may sound cheesie, but honestly I’ve been struggling with something today and your post really hit a chord with me and made my day better by giving me a new outlook on my situation. So thank you very much for that and I look forward to reading more of your great writing.
Yes. Being a spiritual person is the goal. Religious people normally don’t know God that well cos they’re just following the motions.
Yes of course. Thank you.

Lincoln loves Shakespeare! We celebrate the Bard every chance we get—not just by reading his work in class, but by performing it out loud, the way it was intended.
Every spring, the Middle School hosts a lively Shakespeare Recitation Contest. Every middle school student memorizes a monologue and presents it in her English class. The class votes, and the finalists from each class participate in the big contest—a highlight of the year.
Since 2009, Lincoln’s Grade 8 students have participated in Shakespeare in the City, with 20+ other schools in and around Providence. Lincoln English teacher and Shakespeare in the City founder Martha Douglas-Osmundson carefully condenses a Shakespeare play and students rehearse in their English classes. The culmination is a performance at a large venue in downtown Providence (most recently Veterans Memorial Auditorium), produced and performed by more than 250 students from the greater Providence area. It’s an unforgettable experience that deepens students’ appreciation for Shakespeare while exposing them to every aspect of theater production.

Right now in order to see the results, I have to wait until the entire code is done executing. It hangs until it's complete and stays loading. Once it's finished it shows all the information I was looking for.. Is there anyway to show this while the script is still running? So say if I have a print somewhere at the top of my code, I want it to show when it's called not when the script is done executing.
You can do that with output buffering. Turn on output buffering at the top of your script with ob_start(). That makes PHP to send no output to the browser. Instead its stored internally. Flush your output at any time with ob_flush(), and the content will be sent to the browser.
But keep in mind that output buffering is influenced by many other factors. I think some versions of IIS will wait until the script is finished, ignoring output buffering. And some Antivirus software on client side (Was it Panda?) might wait until the page is fully loaded before passing it through to the browser.
Best way to manage long-running php script?
What happens if you edit a php script while an instance of it is running?

I thought it worth mentioning that we spent last weekend in Vermont!
It technically doesn’t have anything to do with running, but Vermont is a very special place to us and we try to head up there as much as possible! This was my first getaway since tearing my ACL over Christmas, and it felt great to change up the scenery a bit!
View of Mt. Ellen at Sugarbush Resort.
Gary’s family lives in southern Vermont, and some of our closest friends live further north. We went to college in Burlington ourselves, met shortly thereafter, and lived in the area for a couple more years in our early 20s. So last weekend was about catching up with pals in Waitsfield – Gary hitting the ski slopes, and me getting to photograph one of my lovely 2014 wedding couples (yep, I’m a wedding photographer)!
Our friend Sarah is one of three sisters, and each of them have torn their right ACL in recent years (hashtag honorarysister)! In addition, two of them are physical therapists, and I was psyched to sneak in to Elevation Physical Therapy for a little extra movement on the leg!
We also took a “prescribed” hot tub on the back deck before our Sunday evening departure! I was scared as heck to walk out on the slippery deck, but it was worth it to savor some fresh air and sunshine outdoors!
Overall, my knee was totally tweaked for the weekend. The drive hurt, and bending felt more miserable than it had been in recovery thus far. But it was a great mental break and I was able to get back in the pool at PT for the first time post-op Monday morning!
Where do you tend to get “away” – your happy place away from home? Are you drawn to warmer climates every time? Do you venture out of the city or into the city? Toward the action or toward the calm?
We’re always heading north to the mountains, and most often Vermont. We love skiing, hiking, camping, even winter camping in yurts and cabins! New England is an incredible place to be.

Seawalls must withstand some of the most brutal conditions of any marine structures built today. Cracking, bowing, or erosion of the ground behind the wall can be signs of trouble. Heavy loads due to high levels of ground water, violent storms, and marine borers are just a few of the hazards to consider when choosing which contractor and material to use to protect your waterfront property. Several of the most commonly used seawall materials that can protect your most valuable investment are available through Duncan Seawall and are described below.
Duncan Seawall is the area’s leader in installing the most durable concrete pre-cast seawalls. Our concrete sheet panels are manufactured off-site by a professional concrete fabricator with on-staff engineers to ensure that each panel is constructed using the highest level of quality concrete consistency. The panels are 8” thick, include 5,000 P.S.I. concrete and continuous steel rebar throughout, and are properly cured for approximately six weeks. These specifications provide the strength and stability needed in a superior concrete panel seawall.
After installing the concrete panels, Duncan Seawall supports the seawall with a steel reinforced, 5,000 P.S.I 20"x22" concrete cap and tieback system. Each tieback rod consists of a ¾” diameter hot dipped galvanized threaded rod with a 6” x 6” plate bolted to each end, securing the cap to an independent concrete base buried in the yard. Steel rods are not heated or bent in the field due to the reduction of structural integrity induced in the tieback rod.
This finished concrete cap is long lasting, aesthetically pleasing, and an added value to your waterfront property.

A group contained in many enzymes.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are chemically reactive chemical species containing oxygen. Examples include peroxides,superoxide, hydroxyl radical, and singlet oxygen.
Redox cycling: The process of reduction of contaminants to free radicals that are then able to participate in redox reactions, producing a superoxide radical.
The neutral red retention time (NRRT) assay is useful for detecting decreased lysosomal membrane stability in haemocytes sampled from bivalves, a phenomenon often associated with exposure to environmental pollutants including nanomaterials.
An adduct is defined as the covalent attachment of a chemical compound to DNA (commonly to guanine). Xenobiotics and their metabolites can damage DNA by covalently binding to a base to form an adduct that could cause cancer. DNA adducts are the best studied genotoxic endpoint. They are thought to play a key role in initiation, early promotion and later stages of tumor progression.
A mutation can result in inherited defects when germ cells are mutated (page 41 of Lecture 7). These cells are involved in the production of ova or sperm and can be inherited.
Pathological alterations of cells, tissues or organs. Can indicate exposure to toxicants and suggest mechanisms of action.
Analytical construct that describes a sequential chain of causally linked events at different levels of biological organisation that lead to an adverse health or ecotoxicological effect. The AOP concept was also developed in response to uncertainties in the field regarding usage of the terms mechanism of action and mode of action The AOP concept addresses such terminology problems by requiring an anchor to both a molecular initiating event and an adverse outcome with significance to risk assessment.
There are many estrogen receptor (ER) agonists is anchored by the molecular initiating event of binding of an estrogen mimicking chemical to the ER and altered reproduction (embryo production) at the whole-organism level.

The deviation for a population from a mean of zero for the difference between a trait measured from the right and left sides of bilaterally symmetrical individuals from that population. For example, measurement of the difference in weights of left and arms of right0handed humans would display directional asymmetry because most such humans will have larger right arms. With directional asymmetry, both presence and direction of asymmetry are predetermined.

Biota-sediment accumulation factors are based on the lipid normalized concentration in the organism with respect to organic carbon-normalized concentration in the sediments.
Metal Species are metals and semi-metals existing as hydroxides, organometallic compounds, biomolecules, and other forms. Measurement of these molecules is called metals speciation.
chemical equilibrium is the state in which both reactants and products are present in concentrations which have no further tendency to change with time.

Lockdown, an emergency barricade device that can lock down a door in a crisis situation, is being made available to schools at a price for that sector, from ERA, the UK home security product company.
The product, pictured, is designed to provide security in the event of a threatening situation, making doors inaccessible to intruders and creating a hiding place for students and teachers in the event of an attack.
ERA’s Head of Marketing, Tania Tams said: ‘We now live in a world where threatening situations in varied locations are becoming sadly more commonplace, and schools and colleges are being encouraged to plan for such emergencies. Lockdown provides the perfect solution – it is simple and easy to fit, making doors or corridors inaccessible to intruders and creating a safe hiding place for students and teachers in the event of an attack.
‘However, we are also very aware of the financial constraints currently placed upon schools and with budgets for fundamental equipment like books already under strain, defence items such as Lockdown (for multiple rooms and corridors) although important, may come further down the list. Whilst the costs associated with Lockdown are perfectly acceptable to any commercial organisation, they may appear challenging for schools.
‘For this reason, and to ensure we put our children’s well-being ahead of profit, ERA’s ‘Support for Schools’ campaign is offering Lockdown at a special discounted price, available only to educational establishments.
‘Lockdown is a brilliant product and whilst new to the UK market, it has already been welcomed by senior UK security and specialist agencies. We have had resounding interest from all parts of the world and varied commercial and public organisations are looking to incorporate Lockdown products into their invacuation / security plan.
ERA adds that the product fits in with the National Counter Terrorism Security Office (NaCTSO) updated safety advice which suggests the development of dynamic lockdown procedures and the use of secondary devices for ‘invacuation’ rather than evacuation to barricade people in a room safely and keep the external threat out.
The product is available for single and double doors, whether inward or outward swinging and fitted with or without traditional locks. Tested to PAS24 impact resistance standards, the single door product fits doors from 650mm-1100mm width, weighs 4kg and takes seconds to fit, according to the firm. The double door option fits doors up to 60mm, weighs 2kg and again takes seconds to create a barricade to outside entry.

I have 43 minutes left during which I can drink or eat anything.
Anything, that is, until after my knee surgery tomorrow.
I’m not staying up late on purpose, wanting to eek out every last bit of allowable time for nourishment.
No, I am awake, I suppose, because I am having knee surgery tomorrow.
I don’t (or didn’t) think I am particularly nervous about this procedure. It is arthrosopic surgery to repair a tear in the medial meniscus cartilage in my left knee. Not that complicated, at least as far as knee surgery goes. I’ve got an excellent surgeon.
I had the same procedure done on my other knee 28 years ago. it went very well and recovery was faster than I had expected.
Yet I am still awake an hour later than usual.
I am still awake enough to blog.
I think this is because no matter how certain we say we are of something, if that something is in the future, we are NOT certain. however much we may till others or ourselves that we are certain the outcome will be this or that, we are not. After the fact, when things work ou our way, we comfortably say we knew it all along.
I know many people who are facing more uncertainty, and much more serious and immediate consequences than I. I hope this evening and this anxiety gives me some window, however small it may be, to where they are.
Thank you for your prayers and all your well wishes. They are part of what will help me sleep here in a few minutes.
In fact, I find more peace in encouragement and friendship than in supposed or alleged certainty.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have only 33 more minutes that I can eat or drink anything.

The impact of construction of dams and reservoirs on alluvial rivers extends both upstream and downstream of the dam. Downstream of dams, both the water and sediment supplies can be altered leading to adjustments in the river channel geometry and ensuing changes in riparian and aquatic habitats. The wealth of pre and post-regulation data on the Middle Rio Grande, New Mexico, provides an excellent case study of river regulation, channel adjustments, and restoration efforts. Cochiti Dam was constructed on the main stem of the Rio Grande in 1973 for flood control and sediment retention. Prior to dam construction, the Rio Grande was a wide, sandy braided river. Following dam construction, the downstream channel bed degraded and coarsened to gravel size, and the planform shifted to a more meandering pattern. Ecological implications of the geomorphic changes include detachment of the river from the floodplain, reduced recruitment of riparian cottonwoods, encroachment of non-native saltcedar and Russian olive into the floodplain, and degraded aquatic habitat for the Rio Grande silvery minnow. Recent restoration strategies include removal of non-native riparian vegetation, mechanical lowering of floodplain areas, and channel widening.

The first small batch of 20 Sarolea Manx 7’s went on sale in late 2017 – and to date, 14 have been sold. But the Robbens brothers, who are behind Sarolea, want to up the ante and bring 80 models to market for 2018.
But what do you actually get when you buy a Sarolea?
Well, there’s no denying it’s a top piece of kit, with its carbon monocoque frame and a carbon swingarm. There’s front and rear Öhlins suspension, Beringer brakes, and a pair of ultra-light 17-inch forged wheels from OZ. Not bad.
Getting into specifics, it’ll kick out an impressive 152 kW (204bhp) and 450Nm of torque, with a top speed of around 240 km/h (150mph) – but it does weigh a pretty hefty 193kg. Regarding range, Sarolea reckon the 14 kWh base model will return up to 230km. The 18 kWh version which costs just over £40,000 should be able to cover 280km – and the top spec version with its 22 kWh battery (costing around £42,000) offers up to 330km of range.

Devil’s Night arrived dreary and wet but with the haunt season coming to a close it would take a lot more than that to keep us off the road. Our first stop brought us to the Wyandotte Jaycees 2013 haunted house — Bloodbath on Biddle. The Jaycees were fortunate to obtain the building that until recently housed City Hall, it’s large and centrally located in downtown Wyandotte.
John and I entered and talked shop with some of the team, some of you may recall that project lead Jon Dehring appeared on an episode of the Mud Puppets during October alongside several of his favorite ghouls. You can watch that episode right now, as well as a behind the scenes tour, by clicking these links: Murder Mystery and Bloodbath on Biddle: Behind the Scenes Tour.
As we talked I noticed a desk to my right, atop it sat a newspaper not unlike the Fear Finder. It was entitled Terror Tracker so I snatched one up to peruse at my leisure. I’ll ruminate more on this publication in a future post. John and I wrapped up the conversation with the Jaycees crew and trudged forth into the bloodbath.
In the past the Wyandotte Jaycees, not dissimilar to many volunteer groups, has struggled to staff their attraction with seasoned scarers. The organization took a step in the right direction this year — the cast may not have been battled scarred veterans, but on the whole the group displayed a lot of heart and energy. In the end we determined that the kids were alright and we appreciated the effort.
There were some standouts too, such as the freakishly contorted handwalkers in the whiteout room. These tortured souls issued primal screams that hastened our departure.
In another room we encountered a criminally insane young woman who had been strapped into an electric chair and for good reason as we would soon find out. Initially she attempted to convince us of her innocence and asked if we’d free her from the restraints. Skeptical, we questioned her further and soon learned, by way of her own admission, that her current predicament was the result of an incident which involved an oven and some babies.
Her voice was calm, cold while she made this confession, a comical glint danced across her dead eyes — but before she could elaborate further someone threw the switch and sent a current of voltage ripping through her now spasming body!
The halfway point of the haunted house presented us with an interesting choice — Heaven or Hell. We decided that Hell was our best course of action but to our great surprise the route was a circuitous one which inevitably sent us to Heaven…well, maybe an offshoot of Heaven. A preacher had been hung by the neck and in the shadows lurked a devilish dame with a gash for a mouth and a whip for a tongue.
“I don’t know. Is this your idea of Heaven,” she quipped. Philosophers and psychos all under one roof, go figure. As she slunk out of the shadows with the confidence and poise of one who likes to play with her food, I found myself not just pondering the query but also fighting off the litany of inappropriate responses which had instantly flooded my mind. I know, I know — it’s a testament to just how deeply depraved I am that my mind so readily drudges up such things, but hey, it’s a fun way to live.
There was a handful of signature scenes throughout Bloodbath on Biddle which were all decorated and detailed quite well. We traversed a morgue, a carnival sideshow, and one room that featured a very curious wall of televisions.
There was also a pair of scenes inspired by cherished fairytales, granted the interpretation was twisted, but Snow White and Alice were represented nonetheless. Gruesome artwork highlighted these areas — a beheaded White Rabbit for Alice and a dwarf that hung from a tree for Snow White. Which of the seven dwarves, you ask? Un-Happy, of course!
I especially enjoyed the set pieces used in the latter two scenes — a pair of trees and a water wheel in Snow White’s forest and then a large, colorful tea cup found in Wonderland. Another eye catching sequence was found at the end of the attraction when we traversed a front yard and then several rooms in the accompanying house.
As visually impressive as all of the scenes were such inspiration did not lend itself to execution. For various reasons the actors in these prime areas just didn’t muster up a scare worthy of such settings. For instance, the room with the wall of televisions that I mentioned earlier featured a scare that depended almost entirely on timing and unfortunately the technological and human elements were simply not in sync.
Two scenes in particular that I thought were loaded with potential was the aforementioned sideshow and the closet near the end of the attraction. The sideshow was neatly dressed with whimsical banners that advertised the oddballs who populated the big top. In the middle of the room was a large box but it’s potential went widely unrealized. Similarly, the closet which had clothes hanging in front of our eyes failed to capitalize on the creativity that went into designing the room.
I had also noticed that the actresses portraying Snow White and Alice were different from the pair who usually staffed those positions. I knew this because it was this duo who had joined Mr. Dehring for the interview mentioned near the beginning of this review. The original tandem was very effective in their respective roles and unfortunately their stand-ins didn’t own the characters in quite the same way. I would later learn that the girls had experienced a bit of haunt fatigue and were actually stationed at other positions in the attraction.
It’s a shame that the best scenes weren’t accompanied by more powerful scares and startles because the Wyandotte Jaycees did a lot of good things with Bloodbath on Biddle. The attraction spanned two floors, sported a large and mostly vocal cast, and lasted for more than twenty minutes. The attraction made use of false doors, integrated props well, and featured cool artwork and several detailed scenes. I hope to see the group build on these successes in the seasons to come.

What Can Obama Actually Do About Climate Change?
Daniel Lashof, Director of the Climate & Clean Air Program at the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC), spoke at the National Climate Seminar on February 6th.
Mr. Lashof – who has been involved in national climate negotiations since their inception – joined the Seminar to speak about the NRDC’s answer to the question: if the President is serious, what can he actually do about climate change in his second term?
The answer, according to the NRDC? Quite a lot.
The NRDC’s recent proposal focuses on the second item: the use of existing executive authority to combat climate change. Executive authority is a key area, says Mr. Lashof, because of how difficult it is to see “significant, positive legislation to address climate change” being enacted in the next two years – and how risky it would be to rely on midterm elections changing the current situation.
Executive action on climate change would primarily stem from the Clean Air Act, which has become a “powerful tool” for climate action following the 2007 Supreme Court decision that the EPA has the authority and responsibility to set carbon pollution standards.
While the EPA has proposed a standard for all new power plants under this ruling, the NRDC – claiming that that standard, by itself, won’t have a large enough impact – suggests that the EPA should also set emission guidelines for existing power plants.
Under the NRDC plan, carbon dioxide emission standards for power plants would be set on an output-rate basis – that is, a standard based on pounds of CO2 emitted per megawatt hour of energy produced. This standard would differ from state-to-state based on their initial energy portfolios, and states would also be allowed to submit alternative carbon dioxide mitigation proposals (provided they would achieve equivalent or greater emission reductions).
… could reduce carbon pollution by 500 million tons per year by 2020. This is twice the reduction from the 2012 fuel efficiency standards and greater than the impact from any recently-proposed climate legislation.
… would result in savings of $25-60 billion per year by 2020, but cost only $4 billion per year. This would stem from both climate change mitigation and health benefits.
… and could result in a 25% reduction in emissions from the power sector by 2020, up to 34% by 2025.
Still, the NRDC remains optimistic. They have “reason to believe” that Obama will direct the EPA to develop this sort of standard, and they remain confident that it would withstand challenges in the courts and in Congress (“It’s much easier to stop legislation than it is to pass legislation,” said Mr. Lashof).
The National Climate Seminar takes place on the first and third Wednesday of every month. Connect with top scientists, analysts, and political leaders to talk about climate change.

CALGARY — The Honourable Stockwell Day, P.C. announced the appointment of two new members to the Pacific Future Energy Advisory Council today. The two new additions will continue to strengthen the company as they work to develop the world’s greenest refinery in British Columbia, Canada.
“We are very pleased to announce that Jack Donald and Chief Robert Louie are joining us,” said Day, while speaking at the 2014 Calgary Energy Roundtable. “They both bring a wealth of business experience and technical expertise to help guide us through this ambitious project,” he added.
Jack Donald, is the founder of Parkland Industries and a Member of the Canadian Petroleum Hall of Fame. Robert Louie is the Chief of the Westbank First Nation. He is also the Chairman of the First Nations Lands Advisory Board and Chairman and Board Director Member of the Peace Hills Trust.
Pacific Future Energy has assembled a global team to build a refinery that will protect Canada’s West Coast from the threat of a heavy oil or bitumen spill. Mr. Day was announced as the chair of the company’s Advisory Council in September of this year, and several additional appointment announcements are expected shortly as the company continues to expand.
Vancouver-based Pacific Future Energy is a company that has been developed to finance, design and construct the world’s greenest oil refinery in British Columbia, Canada. The management team consists of leaders from the venture capital, corporate and government sectors, who share the belief that while it’s in Canada’s national strategic interest to diversify its markets for oil, it should be done in a socially and environmentallywhile ensuring the protection of Canada’s west coast.
Jack C. Donald, injected the “upstream” exploration sector’s streak of entrepreneurial independence into “downstream” refining and retailing from his home base in Red Deer.
Starting with two gas stations and a truck in 1977, he built Parkland Industries into a chain spanning western and northern Canada with 454 retail locations, a trucking fleet and a former Shell refinery at Bowden, Alberta.
The firm was a case of building an entry in a hotly-competitive field virtually from scratch. In 1971-76, Mr. Donald honed his skills as marketing vice-president of Turbo Resources, a highly successful refiner and retailer of the period. Mr. Donald and his wife Joan charted an independent course by buying control of Parkland Beef Industries Ltd., which was at the time a 15-year-old operator of a cattle feedlot. Within a year, the Donalds dropped the beef and steered the firm into oil products under the Fast Gas brand.
He put his stamp on the industry as president of River Ridge Resources Ltd. and as a former director of TransAlta Corp., Ensign Resource Services Group and Del Roca Energy Ltd.
His expertise has also been recognized with appointments such as chairman of Canadian Western Bank, Alberta Opportunity Co. and provincial tax reform commissions.
Mr. Donald is an active member of the Red Deer community serving two aldermanic terms and as a member of the board of Red Deer College. He has also received the Pinnacle Award for Business Excellence.
Robert Louie, LL.B., OC, of Kelowna, B.C. is the Chief of the Westbank First Nation. He is also the Chairman of the First Nations Lands Advisory Board and Board of Director member of Peace Hills Trust (Financial Institution). He served as a Board of Governor member with the University of British Columbia and as a member of the President’s Advisory Council of the University of British Columbia Okanagan (UBC-O).
Chief Louie is also a former practicing lawyer who specialized in native law. Previously he was a member of a Task Group of the First Nations Summit, and was involved in B.C. treaty negotiations representing the Chiefs in B.C. for a period of 4 years.
Chief Louie has served on numerous other boards and advisory bodies, including the National Aboriginal Economic Development Board, First Nations Finance Authority Inc., All Nations Trust Company, Kelowna Chamber of Commerce, United Native Friendship Society, and the Premiere’s Advisory Council of Aboriginal Affairs.
Chief Louie has been the recipient of many awards and recognitions over the years. By far the most prestigious, was his appointment as an Officer to the Order of Canada. More recently, he was the recipient of the Distinguished Alumni Award from Okanagan College, the Queen’s 2nd from Xerox Canada/Aboriginal Financial Officers Association. In February 2014 Chief Louie was presented with an honorary Doctors of Laws degree from the Justice Institute of British Columbia.
