Low range pressure transducers and transmitters for measuring draft air pressure in air handling systems.
Draft pressure sensors are used to measure the amount of vacuum or suction pressure generated by air moving or expanding through an air duct, ventilation shaft, flue or chimney.
Draft pressure is typically measured in inches of water column, millibar or pascals pressure units.
A draft differential pressure sensors has two ports for measuring the difference between two positions, across which the draft is generated.
A draft gauge pressure sensor will measure the draft pressure relative to the local atmospheric pressure, and depending on the installation can be configured as positive or negative gauge pressure sensor.
If the draft air can move in the reverse direction, then a differential or gauge reference pressure sensor can be scaled with a bi-directional range such as -6 to +6 mbar so that the draft air pressure can be measured in both directions.
41X Low Range Digital Output Pressure Sensor- Low pressure sensor with a USB, RS232 or RS485 digital output interface for measuring low range gauge or differential pressures from 10 to 300 mbar.
DPS200 HVAC Differential Pressure Transmitter- Differential air pressure sensor with a 10 volt or a 4-20mA output for building ventilation applications. Ranges from 0 to 6 mbar up to 0 to 1000 mbar.
DMP343 Low Range Pneumatic Pressure Sensor- DMP343 pneumatic pressure sensor for measuring very low range pressures on pneumatic control systems, heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems (HVAC) .
DPS300 User Switchable Pressure Range, Volts or Current Output Low DP Sensor- The DPS 300 is a low range HVAC differential pressure sensor for measuring pressure drops across air filters and airflow through and between ventilation ducts. The lowest possible pressure range is 0...100 pascals and the highest is 0...1000 millibars. User switchable 2 or 3 pressure ranges and volts or current output are included with most standard configurations.
DPS Low Differential Pressure Transmitter- Ultra low differential pressure transmitter for HVAC applications with 4-20mA current loop or amplified voltage output signal in pressure ranges from 0.1 mb up to 1 bar differential.
IMPLR Low Range All Stainless Steel OEM Pressure Sensor- Low cost sensor for measuring small pressure ranges from 0-50 mbar (10 inH2O) to 0-1000 mbar (15 psi) of liquids or gases.
DMD341 Compact Differential Air Pressure Sensor- Small size dp sensor for measuring differential air pressure on HVAC, compress air and pneumatic control systems.
41X High Precision Low Range Pressure Transmitter- High precision pressure transmitter for measuring very low vented gauge reference or differential air pressures. Rangeable 4-20mA or 0-10 volt output.
PrimAtü 10 Low Cost Low Range Differential Air Pressure Transducer- The PrimAtü 10 low cost low range differential air pressure transducer can detect and display both positive and negative differential pressure variations of very low low pressure ranges from 0.5 up to 1000 mbar/hPa, and output the pressure as a 4-20mA, 0-20mA or a 0-10Vdc analog output.

Never Tease a Weasel by Jean Conder Soule.
My very favorite book when I was a preschooler, made all the more wonderful by the art of the inimitable George Booth. “Never tease a weasel, not even once or twice. A weasel wouldn’t like it, and teasing isn’t nice!” This was one of the first books I learned by heart. Loads of fun with language, and that refrain is irresistible.
Bink and Gollie by Kate DiCamillo and Alison McGhee, illustrated by Tony Fucile.
Bink reminds me of Tib: tiny, fluffy, determined. Gollie is just this side of an Edward Gorey character. Which is to say: I adore ’em both. Rilla won’t let me read this one to her just once. Gotta be two or three times in a row. A smart, funny, sophisticated Early Reader—which sounds like an oxymoron but isn’t. Rilla is captivated by the intense personalities of Bink and Gollie, and by the ups and downs of their relationship. Every time we read it, she wants to discuss and discuss. In a way, this is her first book-club book: that book you love so much you just have to talk about it.
Mr. Pusskins and Little Whiskers: Another Love Story by Sam Lloyd.
Poor Mr. Pusskins, tormented by that rogueish kitten, and blamed for his hijinks to boot. Wonderful expressions on the feline faces here. Rilla is smitten with cat and kitten.
Rhyming Dust Bunnies by Jan Thomas.
My SIL recommended this one and I bet I’ve read it a hundred times so far this week. No exaggeration. Huge hit with the three youngest, especially Rilla who is in a big rhyme phase. Bonus: vacuum cleaner sucking noises.
How to Heal a Broken Wing by Bob Graham.
One of my favorites from my stint as a first-round CYBILs picture book judge in 2008. Now a repeat request from Rilla, who loves the quiet, earnest tone of this story about a boy who rescues an injured pigeon. The kind of book you pore over and talk about, heads together.
Hooray for Grandma Jo by Thomas McKean.
A family favorite. Grandma Jo loses her glasses the night before Little Lloyd is due for a visit. That’s how she happens to bring home an escaped zoo lion instead. She plies her furry visitor with ice cream and dancing, and they have a fine old time, managing to thwart a burglar while they’re at it. Big belly laughs from my littles over this one.
I have requested every last one of these from the library. I love you for your lovely lists!
Excited to see the books for the younger set and will look them up for our boys!
Have you read 13 Words by Lemony Snicket?!
Here’s the book trailer…also great!
@Margaret, hope your gang enjoys them!
I remember reading How to Heal a Broken Wing with my boys. They were getting old enough to talk about how the illustrations worked, not just what the saw. Good memories.
We went to the library on Saturday and picked up Bink and Gollie. At first Bella was a bit iffy on it. But then she warmed up to it. And now, less than a week later, Bella already has most of the book memorized. She just asked for it as a nap time story and then only really needed me to read four sentences. The rest she already knew.
Thanks for a stellar recommend.

Hormel Foods Corporation is primarily engaged in the production of a variety of meat and food products and the marketing of those products throughout the U.S. For the 9 months ended 7/31/05, net sales increased 15% to $3.94B. Net income increased 6% to $171.7M. Revenues reflect improved market conditions and favorable pricing. Net income was partially offset by higher selling and marketing expenses, and increased administrative costs.
Hormel Foods Corporation is primarily engaged in the production of a variety of meat and food products, and the marketing of those products throughout the United States. Hormel Foods Corporation's products primarily consist of meat and other food products. The meat products are sold fresh, frozen, cured, smoked, cooked and canned. The Poultry category is composed primarily of Jennie-O Turkey Store (JOTS) products. The Other category primarily consists of nutritional food products and supplements, sugar and sugar substitutes, salt and pepper products, dessert mixes and industrial gelatin products. During the fiscal year ended October 30, 2004 (fiscal 2004), the Company sold Vista International Packaging, Inc., acquired the assets of Concept Foods Inc. (Concept) in October 2004, and on December 29, 2004, the Company acquired Clougherty Packing Company (Clougherty). Clougherty is a privately held Southern California pork processor and creator of the Farmer John brand of pork products.
Hormel Foods Corporation is a Fortune 500 company. In 2010 Hormel Foods Corporation was ranked number 340 on the Fortune 500 list, making it the 340th largest company in the United States when judged by revenue.
Hormel Foods Corporation achieved revenue of $6,533.70 million in 2010 and earned a profit of $342.80 million.
The company ranking improved in 2010, moving up the Fortune 500 list to 340th compared to 373rd in 2009. This was based on its 2009 revenue of $6,755 million (a change of 0 million compared to 2010) and profits of $286 million (a change of $57 million compared to 2009).
To many investors, profits are more important than the revenue a company earns. If the Fortune 500 was ranked by profits instead of revenue then Hormel Foods Corporation would be ranked 265th rather than 340th due to its profits of $343 in 2010.

DCS is the high-performance cooking brand that pioneered a new category of professional cooking products for the home in the late 1980s. DCS products are powerful, distinctive and built to last. Their difference is in their simplicity. DCS products are built for professional chefs who want the same kind of equipment that they use at work and for people who want to use professional grade cooking products at home.
Fisher & Paykel Appliances markets two brands throughout North America - Fisher & Paykel and DCS by Fisher & Paykel.
The Fisher & Paykel heritage dates back to 1934 where we started as a small company manufacturing designs under license. The brand incorporates the world's most innovative technologies driven from a passion to produce the most technically advanced, efficient and contemporary styled appliances. Pioneers of the world's first drawer dishwasher - Dishdrawer - we continue to pave the way for appliance innovation to inspire creative living.
The heritage of our DCS by Fisher & Paykel brand began in the late 1980's as the country's leading engineers and designers created the first line of high-end commercial quality appliances. Recognizing the desire for home chefs to master restaurant culinary cooking, DCS expanded to pioneer both indoor and outdoor kitchen solutions for the at home chef to not only cook like a professional but live deliciously.
Drawing on the founding principals of the DCS brand, Fisher & Paykel Appliances continues to leverage the DCS commercial heritage to bring the cooking tools of a master chef to the home kitchen both indoors and out.
Since 1934 Fisher & Paykel has continually changed the face of the laundry and kitchen.
Established in 1934, Fisher & Paykel Appliances designs, manufactures and markets a range of innovative household appliances developed with a commitment to technology, design, user friendliness and environmental awareness. In the North American market there are two brand offerings - Fisher & Paykel & DCS by Fisher & Paykel.
DCS has been long committed to environmentally conscious operations as a business, and to creating new products that increasingly limit the impact on the environment's natural resources.

Everyone gets antique spoons this Christmas!
Stuff - there’s heaps of it. Every Christmas we make even more stuff to give to each other as presents. A lot of those presents end up on the garbage pile as it wasn’t the stuff we really wanted or it just wasn’t good stuff to begin with.
In many ways, it makes more sense to not make new stuff, but to maybe give some of that old stuff as presents. Well, new research by the classified advertising site Gumtree shows more and more Aussies are doing just that, giving their friends and family second-hand presents during the holiday period.
The research found that 65 percent of people would be happy to get a second-hand gift, which is up from the 55 percent of people from just a year ago.
But interestingly, about a third of second-hand gift givers worried that they would be seen as cheapskates.
Gumtree spokesperson Kirsty Dunn spoke to the Adelaide Advertiser about the trend.
“Historically there was more of a stigma … It’s good to see more people becoming eco-conscious,” the person trying to get you to use their second-hand goods site said.
With the research also finding that the average Australian spends about $670 on Christmas presents, buying second-hand might be a great way to pinch those pennies during the festive season.

The Temple of High Magic provides the practical knowledge of techniques for modern spiritual seekers who wish to incorporate the proven esoteric techniques of the magi into their lives. This book explains the dynamics of group ritual and solo practice as well as the critical role played by the kabbalistic tree of life–the key to inner knowledge. Sometimes called the Yoga of the West, this spiritual magic is a system of esoteric development that seeks to create full union between the magician and the divine.
Before the advent of Christianity, early civilizations had, at the heart of their spiritual traditions, mystery schools that offered a corpus of training methods in what is now called magic. The persecution of heresies that followed the establishment of Christianity as Rome’s state religion, a persecution that reached its high point during the Middle Ages, forced the degradation and disappearance of this training system. While the knowledge of these mystery traditions–jealously guarded by secret societies–has begun to emerge, the actual techniques and practices of spiritual magic have remained hidden.
The Temple of High Magic provides the practical knowledge of techniques for modern spiritual seekers who wish to incorporate the proven esoteric techniques of the magi into their lives. This book explains the dynamics of group ritual and solo practice as well as the critical role played by the kabbalistic tree of life–the key to inner knowledge. Ina Cüsters-van Bergen shows that temples of high magic are not mere physical structures but are the inner edifices willed into being by a sustained meditative practice and pathworking, using key symbols from ancient Hebraic and Egyptian traditions. Sometimes called the Yoga of the West, this spiritual magic is a system of esoteric development that seeks to create full union between the magician and the divine.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the implication of exchange rate variability on oil export trade performance in Nigeria. In achieving the objectives of the study, the study made use of ordinary least square, correlation coefficients and graph. The study found among other things that there was bi-directional relationship between exchange rate fluctuation and oil export trade in Nigeria and there is no short-run relationship between fluctuation in exchange rate and oil export trade in Nigeria. It is also found that that exchange rate variability has significant and positive implications on oil export receipt (OER) and oil export price (OEP) in Nigeria. The policy implication of this study is that government should evolve more efficient policy strategies that would ensure that exchange rate variability will be stable to enable it impact on oil export trade performance in Nigeria because it will enhance their profile and thereby contribute the growth of the nation’s economy. The study among other things recommended that trade liberalization policy of the country should be carefully pursued in a way that the country’s level of trade openness should favour oil export trade performance, while diversification of the country’s economy from that of oil dependence is necessary to checkmate the adverse effect of the county’s trade balance on oil export performance.
Keywords: Exchange Rate, Oil Export Receipt, Oil Export Price, Variability, Efficient.

"Be careful!" "Not so high!" "Stop that!" Concerned parents can often be heard urging safety when children are at play. Recent research suggests this may be over-protective and that kids need more opportunities for risky play outdoors.
Risky play is thrilling and exciting play where children test their boundaries and flirt with uncertainty. They climb trees, build forts, roam the neighbourhood with friends or play capture the flag. Research shows such play is associated with increased physical activity, social skills, risk management skills, resilience, and self-confidence. These findings make intuitive sense when you watch children at play.
Importantly, it's not up to parents or experts to decide what is risky play for a particular child.
Rather, children need to be given the mental and physical space to figure out appropriate risk levels for themselves: far enough that it feels exhilarating, but not so far that it becomes too scary.
Risky play — play that allows kids to test their boundaries — is associated with increased social skills, resilience, and confidence.
Children have the ability to manage risks and figure out their own limits.
Parents should practice giving kids the freedom to explore and choose how they play.

I did a radio interview the other day for a really cool group of people at KKLA 99.5 in Los Angeles. They are called Worship Factory and they support Christian artists of all shapes - singers, painters, dancers, musicians, authors, you name it. They believe that your talent can be used not only as a way to point people to God but also as a direct communication to God - as in a prayer.
Couldn't agree more. You may have read about the TRIBE on here, and that's exactly been our approach.
Here's my latest video project. Usually I do work for others but this is an original idea I put together for a worship concert at church. Enjoy and then let me hear your feedback!
I'm absolutely loving my new GoPro camera.
I might actually write poetry for it.
Instead, I may just shoot like crazy with it.
And make cool videos with it.
Now you see it, right?
Tell 'em I sent you when you order yours.
My editing gig has kept me busy! Today I noticed that the poster had been released. I know there will be many variations before the film finally comes out, but I like this first go.

What team were you a member of and for how many years were you on the team?
I joined FRC 2642 Pitt Pirates during the 2009/2010 season and was with them for 4 years. I first learned about the FIRSTprogram through my sister who attended NCSSM and was part of FRC 900 Zebracorns.
Where do you currently work and what is your job description?
I majored in Mechanical Engineering at ECU in Greenville. I did an internship at Hyster-Yale in Greenville. I now work at Crown Equipment in Kinston, NC as a mechanical engineer. This company designs and makes makes palette trucks and forklifts. The teamwork and especially communication skills I learned in FIRSTgave me the confidence and experience to go straight into the workplace!
What is one highlight from your time on the team?
I loved driving all the robots! It was intense but the best experience of the program. It was fun working with other teams to strategize how to be successful on and off the field. I thoroughly enjoyed helping with all the outreach we did each season. In 2012 we were chosen be in the 1st seed alliance and went on to win the NC Regional Tournament. This opportunity allowed our team to travel to the World Championships for the first time. That was the best experience of my life!
What are the top three skills you learned from your FIRSTexperience that have made an impact on your current job?
The FIRSTprogram encouraged me to attend ECU and pursue a degree in engineering. Through the program, I developed leadership skills and learned how to work cooperatively with team members. It also gave me the hands-on skills that prepared me for college. By learning how to use SolidWorks in high school I received the practice necessary to be successful in several courses in the engineering program.
How has FIRSTimpacted your life?
I wasn’t sure what career path I wanted to pursue originally but my experience with the FIRST program gave me the confidence to major in engineering. During college I wasn’t as involved as much with the FRC program. However, this year I am officially a mentor with the Pitt Pirates in the engineering area. I wanted to pay it forward with what I gained from the program.
What words of wisdom do you have for current FIRSTers?
FIRSTis the hardest fun you will ever have. To rookie drivers just relax and have fun. Don’t let the stress get to you. Stay focused and work with your alliance! During the competitions I made awesome friends and it was an incredible feeling having the crowd cheer you on.

Quantifiers are probably one of the most important things here. If you've specified a character or a group in your query and now want to multiply it, you don't have to copy and paste all of it. Just tell them.
Oh, and don't be confused. Sometimes, you may find that these quantifiers don't match with the tinkered example. That's okay, since we're not forcing the string to start or end. Thus, even if only parts of that string are matching, the expression will be valid.
Remember: You can execute every query by clicking it, and then pressing the button!
You're sure. You don't guess, you dictate. exactly 4 times. Not more, not less. The statement before has to match exactly x times.
For a specific number of repetitions between a span of x to y, you may use this quantifier. It will make sure the previous character exists between x and y times.
You can't always be sure that something exists. Sometimes it's okay if something is missing. In that case, the optional quantifier comes in handy. It will match, if it's there, and ignore it, if it's missing.
If something has to exist at least once, or never, but if it does, then it may exist multiple times, the quantifiers once or more and never or more will do the job.
Something may exist in an infinite length, but must exist at least x times.

Cascade de Wadiana (I’ve also seen it spelled Wadjana) surprised both Julie and I with its size. We were kind of expecting a much smaller waterfall that was known more as a swimming hole, but as you can see from the picture above, if you combine the swimming experience at its plunge pool (which by the way had lots of fish) with the grand scene of this multi-tiered cascade, you’d have one of the most beautiful and pleasurable places to take a refreshing dip! In fact, Julie and I thought this waterfall was prettier than the Chute de la Madeleine not that far away from here. In any case, this waterfall was not only beautiful and a good place for a swim, but it was also very accessible as it was pretty much right off the road practically next to the remote southeast coast of the Grande Terre Island.
We were able to access the waterfall after a short rock scramble from the pullout next to the road (see directions below). After less than a minute of the rock scramble, we were pretty much right by the rocky banks of the plunge pool of the waterfall. Julie spotted lots of small fish on the near side of the plunge pool. As we scrambled to the outlet of the stream, we could also see that just downstream from the road bridge was the coastal reef and lagoon protecting the coast from the bigger waves further away from land.
Something peculiar about our visit to Cascade de Wadiana was that there were several smoldering patches of something burning (rubbish maybe?). There was a local living right across the road from the falls, and I’d imagine they were the ones who set up the smoking piles. That created some pretty nasty air quality in the area, and we weren’t sure if those were set up to keep mosquitos away or to keep people away. That was probably the one thing that kept us from lingering here much longer as our lungs were taking a beating from the smoke that was pervasive.
When I walked onto the single-lane road bridge nearest to the falls, I was able to see that there was a hard-to-see upper tier way up on the mountain before it disappeared into the foliage. That kind of gave me a sense of just how tall this waterfall was though it didn’t seem to have an official measure (I’m guessing it was in the neighborhood of 60m or more). In any case, our visit lasted about 15 minutes before our lungs couldn’t take much more of the smoke.
Since the Cascade de Wadiana was roughly an hour’s drive further to the east of Chute de la Madeleine, we’ll punt you to that page for directions on getting out of Noumea and its suburbs to the RP3 along the shores of Lac de Yate. The turnoff for Chute de la Madeleine was roughly 64km northeast of Noumea.
From that signposted turnoff leaving the RP3, continue east on the RP3 (instead of turning inland towards the other waterfall), and take this road for the next 12.5km (going up and over the Col de Yate, where we were able to make a couple of scenic stops to look west towards the Lac de Yate and east towards the Pacific Ocean), then keep right to cross the bridge and continue heading south of Yate. Beyond the town, the road started to degenerate from paved with lots of long speed bumps to mosty gravel (still with speed bumps).
Roughly another 21km south of Yate, we crossed over a bridge where a signpost pointed out the Cascade de Wadiana to our right. Immediately after the bridge, there was a long enough pullout to accommodate a handful of cars, and this was where we stopped. Our drive took us 80 minutes from Chute de la Madeleine, but I’d imagine it would be around 1 hour without stops (thus it would be around 3 hours from Noumea).
While it may be tempting to look at the map and think that it might be slightly shorter to drive to the falls from the southern approach, we wouldn’t recommend it (unless you’ve allowed yourself plenty of time) because the road between Goro and Plum was full of potholes and steep hills. That said, there were some interesting sights like the remnants of the nickel mine at Goro as well as an ecolodge near the Baie de Boise. There was also an unsightly industrial area at Prony, which I’d imagine where the current nickel extraction and processing went on (thereby powering the economy of New Caledonia given how many people it seemed to employ).

Effective April 6, 2018, the Trump administration is referring 100 percent of adults apprehended on the U.S.’s southwest border for criminal prosecution by the Department of Justice. The result is thousands of migrant families being separated. The Trump administration says it thinks its policy may have a deterrent effect. I say it is a cruel experiment that is making children sick and will have long term adverse consequences for many of them.
Children who are experiencing trauma will often suffer physical and behavioral symptoms such as headaches, stomach aches, trouble sleeping, nightmares, emotional outbursts, trouble paying attention, and no interest in things they used to enjoy. The symptoms are often age specific. In preschool children, for example, extreme stress may manifest in bed wetting or thumb sucking, while school age children may show aggression or withdraw from others. Harvard University’s Center for the Developing Child studies the impact of trauma on youngsters’ brains, including to their health as they age. Trauma can cause developmental delays in language, cognition, and fine motor skills. Childhood trauma is also associated with psychiatric disorders in adulthood, including substance misuse, anxiety, and depression.
“Separating children from their parents contradicts everything we stand for as pediatricians – protecting and promoting children’s health. In fact, highly stressful experiences, like family separation, can cause irreparable harm, disrupting a child’s brain architecture and affecting his or her short- and long-term health. This type of prolonged exposure to serious stress – known as toxic stress – can carry lifelong consequences for children.
That’s from Alex Azar, President Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services. Azar not only said it, he was speaking at a May 2018 town hall meeting, entitled “Helping Children Who Experience Trauma.” I’m not making this up.
What does Azar think when he sees the images of migrant children and parents in U.S. custody? Does he not consider it traumatic? When he said trauma can take an incredible toll on our children, what did he mean? Only U.S. citizen children? The trauma being inflicted on these infants and youngsters is just collateral damage to Trump and company.
Today, we see snapshots of the harm on the faces of the crying and scared children. If they don’t receive adequate support, some, if not many, will suffer long-term consequences. Those long term scars may be invisible but will be painful. This policy is disgusting and cruel.
I agree with Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA). Separating children from parents is a new low for the Trump administration.

When saving / exporting a DDP image, is the "Audio.dat" file a bounce of the whole project ?
So if one have , lets say different limiter settings on different tracks/ regions, this will get bounced down before converted to the "Audio.dat" file ?
Same with volume adjustments on regions ?
Yes, the Audio.dat file is roughly equivalent to a 16-bit-rendered wav of your project/montage.
It just has a different header.
If the resulting delta-file's maximum peaks are of the same level in dbFS as the max peak level of the dithering algorithm you used, your DDP-image didn't have any errors included during the making of the fileset.
F.e. I did it with most DDPs since switching to Wavelab 7.
In something like WaveLab, it certainly would.
I have to confess that I normally make my master WAV file first, and check that, then the DDPi, and then I will write that back to CD/DVD and check the resulting disc.
EDIT - Love the sig, BTW.
I've always seen it as image.dat but yes, like everyone else. it's a single PCM file of the whole disc.
And yes whatever program you used bounced out the project with whatever processing was applied, and this bounce is what became the .dat file.

How to open file with VDO extension?
The VDO file extension belongs to the category Video Files. The extended name of this file format is VDOLive Media File. Below is a list of programs that support files with this extension. Just download one of them, then double click on the VDO file, which did not want to open and manually select the program installed by default. The VDO file should open now without any problem.
It can also happen that, despite the installation of one of the following programs, your VDO file will still return an error when you try to run it. In such a case, refer to the next part of our article, where we present solutions to most problems that may occur when you try to work with the new file extension, which is the VDO.
Do not open - may contain a harmful virus. Delete immediately.
Right-click the VDO file that we want to open, then clicking the option "Open with"
In this case, the solution may be to find another copy of the VDO file, to ask for another copy of it (if you got it from another person), or to try to download it again from the internet.
In this case, you must associate the VDO file with the application either by selecting the application (information here) or manually (information here).
The application for supporting the VDO file has not been entirely installed.
Your computer does not have sufficient resources to the currently open the VDO file.
We install all the drivers that are needed to run the application that supports the VDO file.
Most of the items on the registry concerning the VDO file are added automatically during installation of the program/application. In some situations, the user himself has to create a new registry entry, and type in the appropriate value. This method can be used to associate a file type with an existing application. Then locate the ProgID of the application in the registry. To access the Windows registry editor - click "Start", type "regedit", and then press ENTER.
To associate the VDO file type with the new application, you must define the ProgID for a particular application and if you want to get information on defining a new ProgID, you should see the program identifiers. For information about file extensions and its associations with applications look in the key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT .
Have you ever got a file that you could not open? Probably the situation was that it had an extension not used before on your computer, e.g. VDO. Such a situation could also take place with other extensions, but it always ended the same - giving you a headache when determining which program should be used to properly open the file.
Typically, Windows has the appropriate software to open the VDO file or just preview its contents. Often, however, there is no such software, and then we need to identify what kind of file it is, and download the appropriate software to support it.

I had a great Mother's Day! In the morning we went to a huge book sale. We had already been on Thursday night but Sunday was the bag sale. Buy a bag for $2 and then fill it full of books, and they were huge bags. So I got 2 huge bags full of books for $4! I mostly got books for our homeschool, then I got several omnibus editions for my collection and then a few mags and an old 1950s websters dictionary to use in my art. I had to hold back on getting books for my art because I have sooo much already, I don't really need any more.
Above is a quick collage I did yesterday evening. Below is a quick entry in my art journal I did this morning. Our phone and internet went off yesterday and we didn't get them back on until this afternoon. It's amazing how much one can get done when there are not phone or online distractions. LOL!
See that stamp in the background! That is one of my Mother's Day presents. As I mentioned I went to Michael's for my Mother's Day treat and below is what I picked out. I ended up getting nothing I needed and just treated myself to some fun stuff.
The paints are all metallic colours and they are gorgeous!

And now, it has emerged as a key component of brands’ advertising and promotional strategies.
According to a 2017 survey by Influencer Marketing Hub, influencer marketing is the fastest growing customer acquisition method. 67% of the surveyed marketers said they plan to increase their influencer marketing spend in 2018.
However, not every brand can afford to hire celebrities or big influencers for their campaigns.
In this article, I will focus only on small, local influencers, commonly known as micro-influencers.
Micro-influencers are influencers with a much smaller following than celebrities and mega-influencers.
But they have more engaged followers in a specific niche.
According to Forbes, micro-influencers can have a following in the range of 10,000 to 500,000 followers.
According to SnapApp, this number varies from 1000 to 10,000.
Since there are differing opinions on the followership of micro-influencers, let’s say an average number is between 10,000 and 100,000.
Why are Micro-influencers a Better Choice for Small Businesses?
Since micro-influencers are regular people who post about their interests, they are perceived to be more authentic than celebrities.
People are more likely to buy a product if it is recommended by someone they trust or consider authentic.
According to a survey conducted by Stackla, 86% people consider authenticity as an important factor in deciding which brands they like and support.
Brands can build that trust and authenticity by associating with influencers who are trusted by their followers.
Smaller influencers charge between $75 to $3000 per Instagram post, depending on their followership.
And celebrities can charge as much as $550,000 per post.
The difference between the cost of hiring a celebrity/large influencer and a small influencer is huge.
Micro-influencers are 6.7 times more cost-efficient than large influencers.
Micro-influencers have more engaged audiences because they post about specific topics that their followers are interested in.
According to a Markerly study, influencers with 10,000 to 100,000 followers have the best combination of customer engagement and reach.
Because micro-influencers write about specific topics, people who follow them are interested in those topics.
Local micro-influencers can further streamline the audience by geography, hence are a better choice for small local brands.
It is easier to collaborate with micro-influencers than with celebrities, as smaller influencers themselves seek brands to collaborate with.
With small, local influencers, it is often as simple as reaching out to them on social media to discuss collaboration.
The first step in running a successful local influencer marketing campaign is to find the right influencers for your brand.
For small businesses, it makes sense to collaborate with local influencers, who post about topics in your product niche and who can reach a local audience.
The first place to start looking for influencers is to check your brand’s followers on social media.
Identify people with more than 1,000 followers, who have a genuine interest in your brand and are actively talking about similar products or topics.
In the following example, look at the company’s existing followers.
One of their followers has a follower base of more than 3,000.
The company can collaborate with her to promote their brand, as she already is a fan, and posts about relevant topics.
Influencers who are already interested in your brand are more likely to become brand advocates.
For example, if you’re a restaurant, find local food bloggers who have subscribed to your channel or have talked about you on social media.
To find influencers in your product niche, try searching for people using hashtags relevant to your product and brand.
Sift through the posts with relevant hashtags and identify influencers that are relevant for your brand.
Try to include the name of your city or country in the list of hashtags, to find local influencers.
For example, if you have a food business in New York, searching for #newyorkfoodblogger will give you more targeted results.
If you do not want to spend a lot of time to search for social media for influencers, you can always use tools like UNAMO Social Media, which not only identifies influencers but also tracks social media performance.
The tool breaks down the influencers list by social media channel and also tracks popular keywords and topics.
Next, assess the engagement rate of various local influencers by looking at the likes and comments on their posts using the tools like Shane Barker’s Instagram Engagement Calculator.
After you generate a list of influencers, you also need to evaluate them and pick the ones who resonate well with your brand.
Make sure that their personality and style align with your brand values and messaging.
From a list of relevant local influencers, select the ones who precisely fall under your product niche.
For example, if you are a bakery in Manhattan and have a list of local food bloggers, select the ones that post about desserts.
Check for the authenticity of their content.
If an influencer posts tons of sponsored ads and over-promotes brands, they might not be considered authentic.
Collaborating with local influencers can help your brand in myriad ways.
Local influencers play an important role in increasing your social media presence.
They can increase your brand mentions, share your social media posts, and even create content for your brand.
They can mention your brand and use your brand-specific hashtags in their post.
Here’s an example of how a simple brand mention by an influencer can generate curiosity about your brand.
Influencer Jessica Lynn’s post about Hunterdon Brew generated curiosity among her followers and they asked her where she bought it from.
Sponsored posts are the posts that influencers are paid to share on their social media pages.
Sponsored posts are estimated to grow from 12.9 million in 2017 to 24.2 million in 2018, according to the previously-cited Influencer Marketing Hub study.
You can also use micro-influencers to generate social media content as part of a campaign.
For example, Spotify asked micro-influencers to post Instagram pictures of their Discover Weekly feature in use.
They got over 29,000 likes and comments on 13 creator posts with a budget of $5-7K.
Another way to use influencers to generate social media content is to ask them to do something new with your product.
For example, LaCroix Sparkling Water is a brand that relies heavily on local influencer marketing.
They encourage customers, social media followers, and influencers to post pictures of their products in use and create new recipes.
A creative way of getting influencers to generate content for your brand is a social media takeover.
In a social media takeover, brands provide influencers access to their social media pages and ask them to create content.
Organizing events is a good way to engage multiple influencers at the same time.
This not only allows you to find people that are interested in your product but also helps generate organic content.
Beauty company, Benefit Cosmetics, threw a launch party for their new BADgal BANG mascara in February 2018. The brand invited ~250 guests, including influencers and press, to create a buzz around the product.
A lot of influencers attending the event simultaneously posted about it on social media, using the hashtag #BADGalBang. As a result, the hashtag trended globally on Instagram and Twitter.
Using several local influencers, small businesses can reach a targeted audience who can be converted into customers.
Social media posts and influencer recommendations have the power to sway customers to buy certain products and services.
According to the previously-cited Stackla study, 57% millennials have made travel plans after being influenced by a social media post.
Also, 56% millennials tried out a new restaurant after seeing a social media post.
Influencers can add a link to your brand’s website on their posts to drive traffic.
They can simply tag your brand on social media posts to drive traffic to your social media pages.
In the below example, YouTuber, Michelle Tapia, posted a makeup tutorial video, using several products.
In the description, she provided purchase links for the products she used in the tutorial.
This is may directly lead to sales growth and hence is a good idea for small businesses.
Influencers can promote your brand’s contests/giveaways and ask their followers to tag their friends, to increase the reach of these posts. You can also collaborate and run joint contests.
For example, clothing company, Covington and Co., collaborated with influencer @hollandwithlove to promote their giveaway to her 15,000+ followers.
The post attracted over 1,300 likes and 119 comments, with people tagging 2-3 of their friends in each comment.
Another great way of using micro-influencers to drive traffic to your site and grow sales is to provide influencer-specific discounts.
Several brands provide influencers coupon codes that they can share with their followers.

Maybe It’s Time to Panic!
As deadlines near, there is something in the air – panic! While this isn’t always the case, it frequently is. A big project or deal has hit do-or-die time, and suddenly leaders within the organization worry about whether the company will meet with success. What can often be seen in that moment is more involvement from upper-level leaders and a lot more oversight, with a little bit of micromanaging thrown in for good measure.

Just after that election, someone wrote to me: “We get it. You don't like President Trump. You post cartoons, you criticize him, you go out of your way to mock and make fun of him. You are obsessed, and it's not healthy.
You have cancer, and that kind of hate will not help your healing.
I know you won't respond, or you'll just dismiss me a right-wing fanatic, so I'm not even going to hang around."
Personal Note: I don’t disagree with the connection of attitude and physical health. I think emotions like bitterness, resentment and hate take a toll on our physical well-being. However, I'm fairly certain she wasn't as concerned about my health as she was about my anti-Trump messages.
And though she didn't choose to "hang around," I am going to respond!
I hear this "You hate Donald Trump" accusation regularly.
People read my opposition to the Trump regime, and interpret it as hatred.
Apparently, it’s not just me.
Each time someone reads my comments as hatred of Trump, I assure them that I don’t hate the man.
I’m quick to point out that though I vehemently disagree with his plans and policies, that’s not the same as hate.
Ridicule should not be equated with hate.
I don’t hate him; I just really, REALLY dislike everything about him!
I cringe when I hear him speak; his personality is altogether revolting to me.
I find his egomaniacal superiority insufferable.
I detest his snide condescension and arrogance toward those who disagree with him.
I’m appalled at the way he demeans others.
I am disgusted by his obvious misogyny and blatant sexism.
I despise his racism and his blasé acceptance of white supremacy.
I loathe the extreme nationalism he promotes.
I am terrified by his petulant, unstable temperament.
I am sickened by his complete ineptitude to hold the office POTUS.
I think he’s uncouth, coarse, bad-mannered and crude.
And that’s what I tell myself.
To be safe, and to satisfy an internal nagging, I've done my share of mental, spiritual and emotional gymnastics to rationalize the intensity of my negative, not-hate feelings. I sometimes wrap it in my sense of patriotic duty—my disdain for all he’s doing to our country.
My intense feelings for Trump are merely in contrast to my great love and respect for America.
That's it. I'm a patriot!
I remind myself that my disapproval and hostility are shared by seasoned journalists (those deemed “Fake”), sincere people of faith, sensible politicians of both Parties and many average citizens.
I’m careful to use appropriate synonyms, designed to make it sound more…palatable.
I always draw the line at calling it hate.
Then he does something else.
And those severe, difficult-to-deny feelings rage back to the forefront.
Along with that nagging accusation: Do I hate Donald Trump?
In the quietness of my heart, as I hold myself up to the cleansing light of the Indwelling Divine, praying for the darkness inside me to be revealed, I’m compelled to ask: Do I hate Donald Trump?
Please know: this is not something I take lightly.
Hate goes against what I hold to be the essential premise…the founding premise…of my faith.
Jesus called His followers to Love!
For me, hate violates what it means to be a Christian.
Hell, it violates what it means to human!
Such an emotion in me is frightening!
One human, hating another human, is dreadful.
Owning up to hating someone is distasteful for me.
Admittedly, I don’t find him a lovable man.
I’m not a psychologist or psychiatrist, and have limited mental health training; I can’t adequately or accurately analyze him.
Nonetheless, I do believe he’s a sad, insecure man who lives a persona of outward confidence.
I see dangerous aspects of narcissism.
I think he’s a pathological liar.
I also believe he’s a sociopath.
That's just more justification, isn’t it?
Trying to make my feelings towards him more…acceptable.
Love shouldn’t be based on the merits of the other person, should it?
Unlike his hateful attitude toward so many, I don't wish him harm.
I’m a pacifist, and don’t promote or condone violence.
I don’t muse about him choking on a giant donut, dying of a coronary on the golf course, being killed by one of his rabid gun-loving zealots, or assassinated by a rival demagogue or jealous oligarch.
I also don't allow such discussions about Trump on my Facebook page.
Let me be brutally honest.
If I don’t hate him, I’m probably as close to hate as I’ve ever known myself to be.
I hear echoes of Dietrich Bonhoeffer in my head; I (objectively) understand that kind of internal conflict.
It's not a confession that brings me pride, or comfort.
I am disgusted by this reality!
It's an admission I usually reserve for my private meditations, heard only by my judgmental conscience and my gracious, forgiving God.
I may not hate Donald Trump, but I’m clearly hate-adjacent.
If “Hate” was a house, I’d (at least) live in the shanty next door.
If “Hate” were a campground, I’ve pitched my tent as close to the fire as possible.
God, grant me grace to be an expression of your love!
For me, this is a deeply spiritual exercise; I'm seeking to honestly examine and evaluate my own feelings when I engage in those activities.
Furthermore, I want to make it clear that recognition/acknowledgment of my feelings should not be interpreted as capitulation or resignation to the reality of Trump. This public transparency definitely should not be seen as ammunition to throw at me when I crticize and mock Trump. As I pray for divine grace in my heart, I will continue to stand up and speak out against this horrible man and all the damage he and his regime are doing to my country.
Trust me: I can multi-task!

Long-duration missions in isolated, confined, and extreme (ICE) environments can lead to social withdrawal and reduced team cohesion, potentially increasing risks to individual and team behavioral health and mission performance. As with physical exercise and individual muscle, bone, and cardiovascular health, regular “social” exercise in ICE environments may help build and maintain some of the behavioral processes that underlie team and mission success. To this end, we recently developed a behavioral software tool called COHESION (Capturing Objective Human Econometric Social Interactions in Organizations and Networks).
COHESION is built on a conceptual, methodological, and analytical foundation of Behavioral Economics, and objectively measures cooperation, productivity, fairness, and other dynamic social processes in small groups. Unlike simultaneous activities that are only passively social (e.g., exercise, meals, TV), or inherently social activities that require competition (e.g., video/board/card games), COHESION allows the expression of a wide range of social behaviors while task success is interdependent and can be facilitated by cooperation and fairness in response to uncontrollable environmental stresses. In addition to its value as a research and assessment tool, systematic qualitative data from HI-SEAS and other isolated environments suggest that a simple shared task environment such as COHESION can actually be enjoyable, defuse tension, and increase positive feelings in data-driven, achievement-oriented teams. As an experimental test of COHESION’s effectiveness as a team-building exercise in operational environments, the HI-SEAS Mission V and Mission VI Crews engage in regularly scheduled COHESION sessions alternating with periods of no COHESION. We collect standardized measures of team cohesion, performance, and biopsychosocial adaptation throughout the mission, ultimately comparing the various outcomes during the periods with vs. without COHESION.
These data and behavioral science technologies such as COHESION can help NASA mission planners, military commands, safety-critical work teams, and other professional organizations select, compose, and support the most effective teams for long-term success.

text: OBJECTIVES: This study aims to investigate the biofilm removal capacity of two ultrasonic tips under standardized conditions using a multi-species biofilm model. METHODS: Six-species biofilms were grown on hydroxyapatite discs for 64.5 h and were treated for 15 s with a standardized load of 40 g with a piezoelectric or magnetostrictive device. Tips were applied either with the tip end or with the side facing downwards. Detached bacteria were determined in the supernatant and colony-forming units (CFUs) counted after 72 h of incubation. Untreated specimens served as controls. Moreover, the biofilms remaining on the hydroxyapatite surface after treatment were stained using the Live/Dead stain, and the pattern of their detachment was assessed by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). RESULTS: As compared to the untreated control, it was found that only a side application of the magnetostrictive device was able to remove efficiently the biofilm. In contrast, its tip application as well as both applications of the piezoelectric device removed significantly less bacteria from the biofilm structure. These findings were corroborated by CLSM observation. CONCLUSION: Both ultrasonic tips under investigations led to bacterial detachment, but the action mode as well as the tip configuration and adaptation appeared to be influenced by the biofilm removal effectiveness. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Biofilm removal remains a main goal of ultrasonic debridement. This should be reflected in respective laboratory investigations. The presented combination of methods applied on a multi-species biofilm model in vitro allows the evaluation of the effectiveness of different ultrasonic scaler applications.

When getting online car insurance quotes, one of the first questions to arise is what the right car insurance liability coverage is. A variety of issues should be considered during this time like legal requirements, costs, and driving record. These factors when contemplated at length will determine the right amount of coverage for each unique situation.
Legal requirements of car insurance liability are regulated by the state. Most states require some sort of vehicle insurance, usually liability, and have laws that outline minimum levels of coverage. A few states don't require that coverage if asset ownership is proven to be above a set amount. Legal requirements should not be the sole element used in determining coverage because it is a blanket number that is for bare minimum coverage.
The next major factor is the cost involved with car insurance liability. Liability coverage is designed to compensate damage to other people and property caused by the insured party. Many people will just call around to companies and ask for the lowest priced liability coverage available and purchase that. This is not a wise practice because the minimum available coverage doesn't account for other expenses like emergency aid, medical expenses, loss of income, funeral expenses, and legal defense fees. Financial responsibility of the insured party might exceed liability limits and this would then make the insured party obligated to privately supply compensation for damages.
Another component that should be reflected in getting car insurance quotes is the driver’s driving record. The insured client should consider the record of every licensed driver that is in the household when considering the amount of coverage needed. If drivers are typically not aggressive and more experienced, that might not be such a critical point. If drivers are inexperienced or aggressive, have a track record of traffic violations or a pattern of collisions than it might be in the best interests of the insured to have higher amounts of coverage.
Buying the right amount of car insurance liability coverage is an important decision that is going to be unique to each party's particular situation. Every factor discussed should be considered with great gravity and objectivity. Sometimes the inclination is to just consider how to save money initially, but when all costs are figured then in the end more is spent making up for lack of coverage. Additional coverage options can be added to a liability policy for greater safeguards against loss like uninsured motorists or towing coverage. When seeking car insurance liability quotes, it is best to think of it as investing in protection and not an obligation of debt.

The natural affinity of music and visual art has rarely ever been expressed as vividly as in the visual imagery created by noted jazz saxophonist, Ivo Perelman. Born 12/01/1961 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, he came to the United States in 1981 to pursue a musical career. He has performed to great acclaim in jazz festivals and concerts around the world and has recorded 52 CDs. His music, a unique form of free jazz, translates itself into the striking Abstract Expressionism of his painted imagery. Just as his music evolves out of his liberation from musical convention, his imagery dispenses with traditional artistic conventions and expresses the raw energy which creates each painting.
The intense flows and abrupt breaks of sound which emerge from his saxophone are reborn as zigzagging lines of color, splashed on canvas. Some of his paintings are full of agitated energy, while others are more lyrical, creating a visual moment of near silence. Instead of working from a preconceived artistic idea, Perelman lets the flowing, skittering, dancing paint lead him on. Each painting is like a performance, a set of actions in time which can happen in that particular way only once, embodying the sound of his music through the stroke of the paint brush. The notes become vibrant colors and the rhythm transcends into shape. He passionately unravels the most vivid emotions, whether playing the saxophone or approaching the canvas.
There are no limits or restraints as his method of expression relies not on planning but solely on the flow of feelings. His desire for painting stems from the depths of his soul with the ardent yearnings.
Although largely known for his playing of the tenor saxophone, Perelman also plays piano, clarinet, cello and recorder and is a trained classical guitar player. Perelman made an immediate impression with his 1989 debut Ivo, and his subsequent work has continued to justify his critical status as one of the most important and distinctive tenor saxophone voices of recent years. His vigorous performing style has brought comparisons with John Coltrane, Albert Ayler, David Murray and, perhaps inevitably, Gato Barbieri.
An air of invigorating fun surrounds some of Perelman's music, especially when working with Latin-tinged material. Elsewhere, his enthusiasm seems at times to overwhelm his surroundings and it takes equally dominant musicians to contain him and, as a result, raise the standards of performances to sometimes breathtaking heights.
Perelman has worked with players including, Paul Bley, Don Pullen, Joanne Brackeen, Geri Allen, Matthew Shipp, Eliane Elias, Rashied Ali, Billy Hart, Andrew Cyrille, Jay Rosen, Ramon Lopez, Peter Erskine, Airto Moreira, Mino Cinelu, Flora Purim, Nana Vasconcelos, Reggie Workman, Dominic Duval, Paul Rodgers, John Patitucci, William Parker, Louis Sclavis and Elton Dean.

text: An optical fiber temperature sensor based on optical fiber coupler and evanescent wave is presented. The overall goal of our research is to design a temperature sensor system which is used to monitor temperature accurately. Coupler is used as the sensor probe. Such kind of coupler uses standard communication SM fiber to be a sensing component of evanescent wave. The probe is obtained by replacing the cladding of coupler region with temperature sensitive material. The whole system is then exposed in a thermal bath. A numerical modeling of the sensor based on supermode theory is studied and the result is simulated. At last, the system for temperature measurement in experiment is simply described.
