You may have heard the term 'motorisation' thrown around before, but what you're probably most interested in is, how can it benefit you? To give you a little background information, motorisation means when something is electric and can be remote controlled etc. and we offer this service mostly in the form of motorised blinds and garage doors.
Here are a few of the things you can benefit from with motorisation…
With motorisation, we can make the service as bespoke as you would like. You have the option to choose your own design and function, whether this be for motorised blinds or a motorised garage door. The extent of the service is also entirely up to you. For example, we could install a brand new motorised door for you or just simply automate your existing one – it all depends on what you want. At Newton le Willows Blinds & Curtains, we will always do our very best to offer the perfect solution for you. Furthermore, we provide several different types of garage doors etc so that your motorised door is fully suited to your property.
It's probably fair to say that safety is the main priority in anything we do. Motorisation doesn't just apply to blinds and garage doors, it also comes in the form of security shutters. Having motorised security shutters without a doubt makes your home and the surrounding area much more safe and secure.
However, motorised garage doors can also improve the safety at your property, as roller garage doors are ideal for driveways with little or limited space. With no outward swing at all, it means you can park right up to the garage door and still able to operate it without risk of damage to your car. To add to this, at our company, we ensure that all of our garage doors are installed with the latest obstacle detection and PDT units. Safety is a fundamental concern so we fit Safety Edge collision detection as standard.
Relevant to both motorised blinds and garage doors or security shutters, the whole premise of motorisation is a much more convenient option for you. For example, perhaps you park inside your garage – is it a bit of a pain having to get in and out of your car to open and close it so that you can drive in and out? This doesn't have to be an issue anymore, as motorisation is here to save the day. With automation or just the click of a button, the job is done for you!
One of the most appealing things about motorisation is how cost effective is is. Upgrading anything to motorised increases the value of your property as it's more modern and convenient. This could be good in the future should you ever go on to sell the property because it's a great selling point, and it's modern, advanced and easy. Motorisation eliminates so much hassle and the benefits outweigh any potential issues from cost.

The past few weeks have been crazy, including several out of town guests, learning how to deal with little creatures commonly referred to as kids, and a sanity saving out of town trip to QVC with my momma and a friend.
Ive been keeping a list of things I want to write about. Things like how I have no idea what to do with kids and how the out of town guests basically ripped me apart at the seams. Its really hard to have no less than 4 other people in your home at any given time, especially when some of those guests are less than ideal house guests. There has been cooking, cleaning, constant picking up after them, and a whole of ignoring the kids when they randomly run into the bathroom and then yell "I'm dooooooone."
There was a trip with my grandma to Pittsburgh where I literally saw my life flash before my eyes when she decided to cut off a Pittsburgh city bus and was basically oblivious to the whole thing. There were times spend with my teenage cousins, a cold rainy Easter, and how I basically suck at waiting to hear back from the few interviews I've had. There are conversations I want to write about, ones that challenged and questioned my religious beliefs and quite honestly pissed me off.
I could write about how someone stole my debit card information, decided to buy themselves some timber from India, and the headache its been to deal with the bank and paperwork. Or I could write tell you about how frustrated I am with the WV Unemployment Office for various reasons.
I'd much rather tell you about the QVC Beauty Bash and the fantastic 30 lbs box of goodies I brought home or the fantastic oxygen peel I received while in attendance (I may have even taken a picture of me mid- peel which I may or may not share). I'd really like to tell you about how this year at the Bash I won one of the amazing raffle baskets donated by one of the vendors filled with skincare products I could never, ever afford and how I decided that May is going to be a good month for me.
Instead, I'm going to take the day to recuperate and clean up after the out of town guests one final time. I'm going to send out some resumes, maybe take a nap and cherish the peace and quiet that's been missing from my house for the past few weeks. I'm going to catch up on blog reading something I've desperately missed and try to answer some emails.
Tell me, what have you been up to for the past few weeks? Catch me up on your life!

Hawaiian Mason Ho has signed a multiyear deal with iconic surf brand Rip Curl. Son of North Shore legend Michael Ho and brother to women's Championship Tour (CT) surfer Coco Ho (HAW), Mason will join Brazilian World Champ Gabriel Medina and three-time World Champ Mick Fanning on Rip Curl's team.
Currently tied at No. 16 on the Qualifying Series (QS) rankings, Ho has proven himself many times on the infamous waves of Oahu's North Shore, most recently placing second at the 2015 Volcom Pipe Pro QS3000 behind John John Florence (HAW).
Ho isn't the only surfer who inked a deal with Rip Curl in 2015. So far this year, Australian Owen Wright and legend Tom Curren (USA) also renewed business relationships with the surf company.
Ho had this to say on joining Rip Curl's team:
"I'm honored to join a company like Rip Curl with so much surfing history, which I've heard about since the day I was born," Mason said shortly after inking his new deal. "I'm really excited about this partnership and I'm going to do my best to represent the brand to my fullest.
"In this next chapter, I want to go on trips with Mick Fanning. He's an inspiration for me, and I'm ready to go find perfect waves with him," Mason added.

Brown team takes campaign template on the road
The political team that helped Scott Brown stage his improbable victory in the Massachusetts Senate race wants to apply its winning strategy elsewhere this election year. First stop: Rhode Island.
The Shawmut Group, led by aides to former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, is helping GOP congressional candidate John Loughlin, who's campaigning to replace retiring Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I.
The handiwork of two Shawmut Group principals, Eric Fehrnstrom and Peter Flaherty, was evident in Loughlin's campaign announcement speech, staged shortly after Brown's win on Jan. 19. Loughlin, like Brown a state legislator and longtime member of the National Guard, said suspected terrorists should be handled in the military justice system, not civilian courts.
"When it comes to terrorists, we should be getting information from them, not the other way around," said Loughlin, reprising almost verbatim one of Brown's campaign lines.
It also was a shift for Loughlin, who previously had focused on taxes and his belief that Kennedy, the son of the late Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, the man Brown replaced, had lost touch with average people.
The Shawmut Group also is working with New York gubernatorial candidate Rick Lazio, Long Island congressional candidate George Demos and Massachusetts state auditor candidate Mary Connaughton. A relationship with Connecticut Republican Tom Foley ended when he switched from a U.S. Senate to gubernatorial campaign.
Their marquee "product," Brown himself, was in Arizona over the weekend, campaigning for Sen. John McCain. The 2008 GOP presidential nominee is facing a primary challenge from former Rep. J.D. Hayworth.
"I think the Brown campaign really was a perfect storm, but they learned a lot of lessons about the Internet, raising a lot of money and sharpening a message that can be taken to other states and races," said Scott Reed, a Republican political consultant who managed Bob Dole's 1996 presidential campaign.
"These consultants are hot, and it's logical to try to re-create the magic in another state. And all that is a warm-up for the main event, which is another run by Romney," said Reed.
Fehrnstrom declined to comment about the firm's new campaigns. Flaherty, meanwhile, briefly considered his own race against the Democrat whom Brown defeated, Attorney General Martha Coakley, before deciding to stay focused on his family and his business.
While Loughlin's message on terrorism aligned him with one of the central tenets of Brown's campaign, it was a surprise in deeply Democratic Rhode Island. Here, in a state where the unemployment rate has neared 13 percent, the economy has been a hot topic.
A recent WPRI-TV poll found just 5 percent of respondents saying national security was the most important issue. More than half said jobs and the economy were most important.
The remainder of Loughlin's Feb. 4 announcement speech hewed closely to the Brown campaign playbook: terrorism, taxes, health care and government spending, as well as transparency in Washington.
Loughlin, like Brown, also complained that President Barack Obama's $787 billion economic stimulus plan had not created a single job in Rhode Island, although the state's Republican governor has credited the program with creating or saving about 1,500 jobs. Loughlin later said he meant no "net" new jobs in a state where job losses have risen for years.
Loughlin says he was in talks with the Shawmut Group even before Brown's win, but settled on the firm because of its proximity to Rhode Island and understanding of the nuances of running in New England.
The common threads between his message and Brown's are coincidental, he said.
"Those similarities existed long before the Shawmut Group came on board. They haven't really changed at all," he said. "What they help you with is figuring out the best way to present information, more than anything else."
Fehrnstrom and Flaherty were part of the brain trust behind Romney's unsuccessful 2008 presidential campaign. After Romney dropped out of the race, they joined Romney's campaign manager - and Karl Rove colleague - Beth Myers in founding the Shawmut Group. The trio has since added Rob Cole, once political director to former New York Gov. George Pataki.
They also were assisted in the Brown race by Beth Lindstrom, who now runs the new senator's Massachusetts office.
The Shawmut Group initially was headquartered out of the same Lexington, Mass., office building where Romney has his political action committee. Also located there is the venture capital company founded by Romney's eldest son, Tagg. Shawmut now has a "virtual" office through the Internet, but its members regularly congregate in Lexington.
The concentration has created something of a campaign-in-waiting, with everyone working interchangeably on their own ventures but in unison on a second Romney run expected next year.
The Brown campaign gave the Shawmut Group a venue to test 2010 and 2012 campaign themes. Heading one state south to run against Ted Kennedy's son was a natural first stop. Cole functioned as Shawmut's point man there the day Loughlin announced his candidacy.
Cole's adherence to the Shawmut Group's belief in message discipline was evident when he twice tried to cut off reporters after a handful of questions following Loughlin's announcement speech - an unusual pivot for a candidate who provides his cell phone number on his campaign Web site and who makes it a point of pride to be accessible for questions.
Loughlin ended up staying until the last question was answered.
Johnson reported from Boston.

Creative Ideas Bunk Bed Tent For Kids
Bunk bed tent – they are the 'kings' of the house and as such, deserve a reign to match the circumstances. The children's room is the safest spaces for them, in which they develop their creativity, play, read, share stories and live a thousand and one adventures, all without leaving in a few square meters. To encourage this environment of creativity and fun, deco trends in children's furniture and textiles often bring a good number of ideas each season to help us create the perfect environment for the 'kids' at home. Do you want some tips?
The bunk bed tent is possibly the most important element of the children's room, and is practically universal for every room, regardless of how we decorate it. The new trends have been turned into a revival of the most functional beds, which serve as both storage at the bottom, or structured on several levels, either in bunk mode or a combination of bunk and trundle bed, with a third bed base in the lower part of the bed. In this range also enter the sofas nest, for slightly older children who want to enjoy more space in their own room.
The storage space can be reserved for bed linen, which nowadays also includes canopies or curtains with prints that serve to animate the 'children's room', or simply incorporate a predetermined theme, for example of pirates. The storage closely follows the bunk bed tent in terms of furniture, both in the form of stackable boxes and other more fun variants like hangers with funny shapes, baskets, or one of the bestseller of the season, bags and cloth bags the paper. These types of solutions make it very easy for children to pick up, for example, their own toys or dirty clothes. For stackable or elevated storage solutions, such as cabinets, drawers or rails, it is essential to place them at a height that is within reach of the 'kids'.

The work of crafting thriving organizational culture involves change – a lot of it. At the same time you are creating a culture of change you have to insure that your current culture can handle the change your are bringing! It's a lot to think about. But you can lead in such a way that the needed change has its very best shot.
Transitions are almost always wrenching for an organization or a team within an organization, even when the result of the transition will be beneficial to all concerned. Leaders can make transitions worse by insensitivity or tone-deafness to the effect the music of the transition has on the ears of the team.
Organizational transitions of all kinds are navigated well when you work to shape your culture by these three practices:
- Gain credibility – leaders are even-handed and fair, and so make deposits of trust, which can be borrowed against when tough changes have to be instituted.
- Practice transparency – unless trade secrets which would compromise competitive advantage are at stake, default to sharing details about the conditions that shape transition decisions, the rationale for unpopular decisions, and the long-term effects on those in the organization.
- Demonstrate honor – in the case of terminations and layoffs, unless an employee was dismissed for ethical or legal reasons make every effort to honor those leaving, thank them for their contributions and point out their positive characteristics. This is the right thing to do for the one leaving and it engenders trust and loyalty among those staying!

No matter how positive you are this year, some thing's wont change, certain tasks, no matter how important they are; still seem like a huge chore.
I am an extremely organized individual, I take my skin care very seriously but for some reason, washing my make up brushes take so much effort. I am not sure whether it's the time it takes or the fact that you can continue to use them regardless of whether they are clean or not.
So, how often are you meant to wash your make-up brushes?
Experts vary in opinion, some say once a week, some say once a month. However, I know loads of women who have never washed their make up brushes since they've began using them!!
This must change ladies!
No matter how flawlessly your favorite make up brushes may perform, the only way to keep them free from bacteria, dust and dirt free is to wash them frequently.
Washing your make up brushes should be part of your beauty routine, do not under estimate its importance. Although it may seem basic, skipping this cleansing routine can lead to clogged up pores and breakouts. Good quality brushes aren't cheap, so keeping them clean and neat is the best way to protect your investment.
Luckily cleaning your brushes can be quick and easy.
You will need:
• A shallow bowl
• Gentle clarifying shampoo or baby shampoo
• A sink
1. Cleanse
Begin by running your brushes under lukewarm water, rinsing out all of the residual make up. Focus on the brush bristles and avoid the beginning of the handle as much as you can, too much water interaction can lessen the glue over time.
2. Lather
Fill with lukewarm water and a squirt of shampoo; gently swirl your brush tip in the water first. Then begin to swirl the brush in the palm of your hand to work up lather. Keep swirling in your palms and rinsing until the water runs clear and all soap is gone.
3. Dry
Ensure the head of your brushes is angled slightly down as we are avoiding water coming into contact with the handle.
Using your hands, shape your brush bristles to their original form then lay your brushes flat on a dry cloth and leave to dry overnight.
Make this a part of your routine. A good skin care regime, good make up products and clean brushes are a great way to achieve flawless skin.

Jewellery Designing in the Mara
By mandella on June 23, 2015
We (the 'Boston' contingent of the Tinkered by family) live in the Masai Mara game reserve, in Kenya. Remote, yes. Beautiful, yes. A tad insulated from the real world and hard to entertain ourselves at times… sorry to say, but a definate yes! It is a mission to get my boys on game drives now…one of our few outings… "Too boring" apparently.
SO, when Rose came up with the idea of a visit out to the Mara to work on her new jewellery line for Tinkered by, the Boston's were all pretty excited! Rose packed up her workshop basics and made the journey out here on Matatu's (Kenya's highly decorated and over crowded transport system).
All of the Tinkered by Artisans are currently in creative mode, tinkering away to come up with our new Summer jewellery range – a super exciting time of the year for us. So last week, Rose and I played with glorious beads, coming up with some cool new pieces!
Definitely not ALL work! We had our afternoons for fun – game driving, burning marsh mellows around campfires, writing love letters (My eldest boy Marley wants Rose to be his 'woman'! been in Kenya too long) playing with kiddies & some girlie chit chat!
Going all too quickly but it has been a great week. Thanks Rose. xx

Meeru – Paradise found
Think of the Maldives and you think of tropical paradise islands with perfect white coral sand beaches and luxury – well you'd be right, we went for a once in a lifetime trip, and it really was paradise found. For this bucket list trip we decided to take a family holiday with Garth's parents and have two weeks of sheer indulgence and relaxation.
Getting to Meeru via Speedboat
After an exciting flight on the comfortable and gigantic A380 via Dubai we arrived at Malé International Airport on the small island capital of Male, incredibly packed from coast to coast with buildings.
Coming out of the arrivals hall we were met with ridiculous turquoise coloured sea views against jetty's and a slight wiff of petrol from the seaplanes. After a wait in the humid heat for other passengers to arrive we set off!
Our island – Meeru, or Meerufenfushi, in the North Male Atoll is 30 miles from the capital accessible by speed boat whereas other islands in the South Atol are accessible by sea plane. It took about 50 minutes, although it was bumpy, the anticipation outweighed that, wondering which island would be ours .. the feeling was like Christmas Day morning, passing different islands along the way.
Then we saw Meeru in the distance, just like a shipwrecked island of palms getting closer and closer, we arrived to its beautiful crystal clear turquoise lagoon and perfect white sandy beach, where we were met by a line up of staff offering us cocktails. We had definitely arrived!
The Paradise Island
After a welcome drink and induction we were shown to our Jacuzzi Water Villa. Nothing can describe the sheer joy we felt as we walked across to jetty over the fish filled lagoon to our private villa, you really can't believe you are actually in paradise. It was on our bucket list to stay in a water villa in the Maldives, so big tick! The island resort is actually once of the biggest in the Maldives, we went in high season, but you never felt like it was full as you only ever saw a handful of people on the beaches, just perfect.
Favourite Island Experiences
Our favourite experience was probably snorkelling, just incredible. When we first put your heads under the water it was like looking in a giant aquarium, you can't believe there is so much activity under the water, even standing in the shallow waters of the lagoon you are accompanied by baby sharks and stingrays, going further out to the coral reef the colours of the fish become something else. The island also provides some brilliant posters with guides to the varieties you can see, including a video screening one evening about the tropical waters and coral life for snorkelling and diving, as it's an approved PADI site, which is well worth watching. There were plenty of other activities on the islands ranging from a driving range, water sports and tennis, but snorkelling kept us entertained the whole time. Sadly the results captured by our GroPro camera underwater came out blurry.
Another favourite experience was just relaxing in the water villa's jacuzzi at night and star gazing the dark night skies. The water villa had an open-air bathroom and the jacuzzi area was walled for privacy, so you are not overlooked by the other villas.
Our other favourite was simply walking around the whole island and stopping off at the couple of bars along the way, it took about 40 minutes to walk around the immaculate white coral sand shore.
Meeru 5 Star Service
The staff were so gracious and nothing was too much trouble, impeccable service, many were from Sri Lanka and there was a whole staff community with island lodgings for staff including a football pitch and small mosque, they said that during their time working they too were well looked after. The beds were turned down each evening and decorated creatively with Frangipani or Hibiscus flowers.
The Food
Food was incredible too, on arrival we were allocated the same table and waiter in the buffet restaurant and very varied on daily basis considering it was all-inclusive. We stayed for 2 weeks and never got bored. We also went to their À La Carte Asian Wok Restaurant and had some very tasty Japanese food, the prawns were enormous, bigger than your face!
We went on a couple of excursions, including a free dolphin watching trip, which luckily they came out to play and entertain us. We also took a seaplane sightseeing trip which was breathtaking from the air, and would recommended, apart from some obnoxious couples who split up and hogged the window seats. Although expensive, the spectacular memory of seeing the Atolls was worth the price.
Water Activities
10/10 If we can ever afford to go ever again, we'd have no hesitation, hopefully before it disappears under the water as its currently only 1.5m above sea level, and its predicted that in 50 years it will be gone, which is sad.
Phil & Garth's Top 5 Meeru Tips
- Tip #1: Invest in a decent underwater camera at home and take it with you
- Tip #2: Break up your journey – Don't take a direct UK flight to Male, instead get a free stopover eg Dubai, for a similar same price
- Tip #3: If you can afford it, combine Sri Lanka with the Maldives, a lot of people we met did this.
- Tip #4: Boat transfers in rough water can be unpleasant, so if you suffer sea sickness you may want to consider a seaplane transfer
- Tip #5: The Maldives is an Islamic country, but bikinis and alcohol are allowed, absolutely no topless bathing for ladies.
How we did it:
- We booked with TUI, they came out cheapest the time we wanted to go, the staff were pretty helpful in store too.
- Flights were with Emirates, and we paid for a 2 night stopover in Dubai.
- Transfers from Male were provided by the resort.
- The sightseeing plane trip was booked through the hotel on arrival, approx £100 each

A glider gets the power it needs to fly from the decrease of gravitational potential energy associated to the descent. My question is: for the same weight $W$, airspeed $V$, and a prop efficiency of 100%, is the amount of 'gravitational power' $W · w$ that drives a plane in an unpowered glide exactly identical to the 'engine power' it needs for s/l, unaccelerated flight?
Short answer yes, a powered aircraft at any given airspeed in straight and level flight (note that a glide path is also "level", at constant airspeed) needs to use the same amount of energy to over come drag as the glider.
The potential energy for the glider is altitude. The potential energy for the powered aircraft is fuel. The conversion of potential energy to kinetic energy gives the aircraft velocity and matches drag forces.
There for, gliding is powered flight! They might "fill up" by catching a thermal, or by having someone tow them up.
$\begingroup$ I would like to say thanks to @quiet flyer for the effort put into the answer, as it reminded me of a thought game "rocket, parachute, plane?" Interesting that all three were considered. It seems to lead to a definition of "airplane" as that which lifts by wing and gains velocity by thrust. Not perfect, but enough to compare glide with powered. $\endgroup$ – Robert DiGiovanni Oct 22 '18 at 1:50
$\begingroup$ So, as long as 100% of lift for straight and level flight can be provided by the wing, the comparison should hold (the "brick" will need more power in level flight). So now we can examine the glider lift vector. Notice the vertical component = weight of plane. The horizontal component is thrust. Now we take that, in pounds, and CAN compare it to powered flight. A brick is a brick, powered or gliding! But if the vertical lift component can not support it, I guess it will need a parachute! $\endgroup$ – Robert DiGiovanni Oct 22 '18 at 2:21
$\begingroup$ And Quiet was right. This is a poor picture. Notice the vectors of lift and vertical lift on the glider are drawn incorrectly! The total lift vector will be longer, and when the horizontal vector is correctly drawn head to tail to the total lift vector, this is PRECISELY the power requirement for straight and level flight. Good show! $\endgroup$ – Robert DiGiovanni Oct 22 '18 at 4:06
$\begingroup$ @ Robert DiGiovanni , you misunderstood me. (Actually I made an error in a comment on another answer to another question, then corrected it.) The diagram is fine. Lift, Drag, and Weight form a closed vector triangle with a right angle between Lift and Drag, and this can only happen if Lift is LESS than Weight. $\endgroup$ – quiet flyer Oct 22 '18 at 13:17
$\begingroup$ Now we are able to link the sinking and rising conditions to level flight. Note, if you have less lift than weight, the plane will accelerate downwards. What stops it? The drag from the sink. This would be added to vertical lift component to form K. But drawing the horizontal component from the vertical lift over to total lift may give power for horizontal motion. This will put me in the ballpark as a scratch builder for power requirements. Very simple thrust level flight = weight x inverse of glide ratio. Still working on details. $\endgroup$ – Robert DiGiovanni Oct 22 '18 at 14:19
No, this is only an approximation based on the assumption that the L/D ratio is fairly high. Imagine that the glider has a gigantic drogue chute attached, so that the flight path is aimed almost straight down. Almost all the aircraft's weight will be borne by the drag vector, and almost none of the aircraft's weight will be borne by the lift vector. The weight vector will be almost parallel to the flight path and the total "power" exerted by gravity will be equal to weight * descent speed, which will be almost equal to weight * airspeed.
If the glider (w/ drogue chute still attached) now powers up a powerful motor (guess it was a motorglider) and tries to fly horizontally, why should we expect the minimum power needed to maintain altitude to be equal to weight * the descent speed from the power-off case?
Here is the key to seeing why when the L/D ratio is poor, the horizontal flight case takes much more power than the gliding case:
The balance of forces in gliding flight can be represented by a closed vector triangle of Lift, Drag, and Weight, with right angle between the Lift and Drag vectors. If we wish, we can also show the airspeed vector, and we can break it down into its horizontal and vertical components. The vertical component of the airspeed vector is simply the sink rate.
All three of the vector diagrams below represent the exact same physical situation. We've represented the aerodynamic forces in black, and the gravitational force-- the weight vector-- in green. The left-hand and right-hand diagrams are easier to understand than the middle diagram, because the force vectors are arranged into a closed polygon (a triangle in this case), which shows us instantly that the net force is zero. On the right-hand diagram, we've also included the airspeed vector, and its horizontal and vertical components. Note that K is the glide angle, and note that on the right-hand diagram, the triangle formed by the force vectors and the triangle formed by the airspeed vectors are similar triangles.
The lift vector is proportional to the lift coefficient times the airspeed squared. The drag vector is proportional to the drag coefficient times the airspeed squared. The ratio between the magnitude of the Lift and Drag vectors is identical to the ratio between the lift and drag coefficients. For a given fixed aircraft shape, a change in the lift coefficient and/ or drag coefficient represents a change in angle-of-attack. Every possible angle-of-attack of the wing is associated with a specific lift coefficient, a specific drag coefficient, and a specific Lift : Drag ratio. This is true regardless of whether the aircraft is heavy or light-- a change in weight is expressed as a change in the airspeed associated with any given angle-of-attack, but no change in the lift coefficient, drag coefficient, or Lift: Drag ratio associated with any given angle-of-attack.
What happens when we change the lift coefficient and/ or the drag coefficient, causing a change in the ratio of lift coefficient to the drag coefficient, which causes an identical change in the ratio of Lift to Drag?
The left-hand diagram above represents a Lift to Drag (L:D) ratio of 10 to 1, while the right-hand diagram above represents a L:D ratio of 1 to 1.
When the L/D ratio is high, L is very nearly as large as W. But when the L/D ratio is low, L is much smaller than W.
When we start from the gliding case w/ a low L/D ratio, and then add thrust to maintain horizontal flight, what must happen? How must we modify our vector to diagram so that the force vectors still form a closed polygon (in this case a rectangle or square), indicating that no net force is acting on the aircraft?
Take a pencil and paper and draw the L-D-W vector triangle for such a case-- where the L/D ratio is very poor. Now to change the picture to represent the powered case, you have to take the L and D vectors, keeping the 90-degree angle between then, and pivot them (e.g. counterclockwise in the diagrams attached to this answer, and also in the diagram attached to the original question) until the D vector is horizontal and the L vector is vertical. Then you must EXPAND the L and D vectors, keeping the same proportion between them, until the L vector is fully as large as the W vector, so L is equal and opposite to W.
Like this:
What is really going on when we EXPAND the L and D vectors in this manner? Assuming that our angle-of-attack is staying constant, meaning that our lift coefficient and drag coefficient are both staying constant, this EXPANSION of the L and D vectors can only represent an increase in airspeed. The airspeed must increase according to the square root of the increase of the size of the L and D vectors.
Here's one way to understand why the airspeed is lower in the gliding case-- the Drag vector is supporting part of the weight of the aircraft, and this "unloads" the wing, compared to the horizontal case. Flight at a lower wing loading requires less airspeed than flight at a higher airspeed.
The exact same thing happens we take the aircraft with the high L/D ratio-- as illustrated in the left-hand diagram above-- and add thrust to allow level flight. The magnitude of the Lift and Drag vectors, and the airspeed, all must increase. But if the L/D ratio is high, the effect is so small as to be negligible, and we can say that the airspeed observed during a glide at a given angle-of-attack is nearly identical to the airspeed observed in powered flight at the same angle-of-attack, and we can also say that the Drag force in horizontal powered flight is virtually identical to the Drag that is present in gliding flight.
When the L/D ratio is high, why does the power exerted by gravity have anything to do with the power an engine would need to exert to allow horizontal flight?
Work is proportional to force times distance, and power is proportional to force times velocity. Drag is the only aerodynamic force that is opposing the aircraft's forward airspeed, so Drag is the only force that needs to be overcome to allow forward flight, regardless of whether the aircraft is flying horizontally or gliding downward. (And note that from the standpoint of the airmass reference frame, a glider is ALWAYS gliding downward.) In the gliding case, what force is opposing Drag? We can break the Weight vector down into one component that is equal and opposite to the Lift vector, and one component that is equal and opposite to the Drag vector. The latter component is what is "powering" the glider, at least as viewed from the standpoint of the airmass reference frame. The latter component of the Weight vector will be equal to Weight * cosine (glide angle). So the Power exerted by this component of the Weight vector is equal to (Weight * cosine (glide angle)) * airspeed). Now, it just so happens that the sink rate is equal to (airspeed * cosine (glide angle)). So we can say that the power exerted by gravity = (Weight * cosine (glide angle)) * airspeed) = (Weight * (cosine (glide angle)) * airspeed) = Weight * sink rate.
If the L/D ratio is high enough that for any given angle-of-attack, the "unloading" of the wing in gliding flight due to the drag vector is negligible, the airspeed obtained at that angle-of-attack will be nearly identical in horizontal flight as in gliding flight, and likewise the magnitude of the Drag vector will be nearly identical in horizontal flight as in gliding flight, so our expression (Weight * sink rate) will only underestimate the power required for horizontal flight by a negligible amount. On the other hand, if the L/D ratio is poor, then the drag vector will greatly "unload" the wing in descending flight, and the airspeed obtained at that angle-of-attack will be much less in gliding flight than in horizontal flight, and the magnitude of the Drag vector will be much less in gliding flight than in horizontal flight, so our expression (Weight * sink rate) will greatly underestimate the power required for horizontal flight.
Note that it's also true that in a powered climb, the wing is "unloaded", allowing flight at a lower airspeed that we'd see at the same angle-of-attack in horizontal flight. In this case it's the excess thrust vector (thrust minus drag) that bears part of the aircraft weight. A jet fighter climbing steeply in a near-vertical climb is generating very little lift, so either the airspeed must be low, or the wing must be presented to the air at a much lower angle-of-attack than would be the case during horizontal flight at that same airspeed.
For the power-off case, the truth is that most aircraft have a shallow enough glide path that the effects we've described above can be ignored, and the expression (weight * sink rate) does indeed give a good approximation of the power required for level flight. For example, consider an aircraft with a L/D ratio of 8:1 at idle power at some given angle-of-attack. In still air, the aircraft can glide 8 feet forward from every foot of altitude it loses. The glide angle at this angle-of-attack is equal to arctan (1/8) = 7.1 degrees, and the lift vector is equal to weight * cosine (glide angle) = weight * cosine (arctan (1/8)). This works out to weight * .9923. So there is less than a 1% change in the magnitude of the lift vector (and the same for the drag vector) between the idle-power case, and the case where aircraft is generating enough power to fly horizontally at that same angle-of-attack. This means the airspeed need only change by a factor of (square root of (.9925)). or .9961 . The power expended (equal to drag * airspeed) will change by a factor of .9961 * .9925 = .9886. That's pretty small.
If we are talking about an aircraft with the glide angle of a brick-- like an aircraft with a L/D ratio of 3:1 or 2:1-- then the difference would be much more significant.

1$\begingroup$ Quiet, the key here is constant velocity with no ACCELERATION in any direction. Both planes are powered, and are burning equal amounts of energy to maintain straight and level flight. No need to add a parachute. The drag is identical, there for the thrust is identical, and, to maintain level flight, the AOA is the same. Don't let the downslope fool you, no more than letting the gas gauge needle going down fool you. $\endgroup$ – Robert DiGiovanni Oct 15 '18 at 2:12
1$\begingroup$ OK, but going straight down it is no longer using its wing, so how can you compare? You could try a velocity different than Vbg, but drag (and there for fuel consumption) will be the same. Easier when you compare the same fuel. But comparing altitude to gasoline is apples and oranges. $\endgroup$ – Robert DiGiovanni Oct 15 '18 at 2:53
1$\begingroup$ OK, let's compare the glider to the "powered" s/l unaccelerated craft. You actually do this when you come in to land. You add energy with a bit of throttle, then go back to idle. While adding power, you will be more like the s/l plane, and the approach angle is more level. Go back to idle, your glide path goes back to (straight line) glide, but further down the runway. Adding flaps (not a giant parachute!), glide angle for same speed is steeper, flaps and power, see picture above! $\endgroup$ – Robert DiGiovanni Oct 15 '18 at 10:10
1$\begingroup$ Ahh, the question. Glider flight is a straight line. There for, for a given speed (constant), AOA is the SAME for the glider, drag is the same, lift is the same, power is the same. This is sort of a trick question. It is steady state flight at a given speed. Glider pitches down to burn fuel, powered turns propeller. $\endgroup$ – Robert DiGiovanni Oct 15 '18 at 18:12
1$\begingroup$ Assuming you understand the glider is descending and the s/l plane is not, holding speed constant (for both) means equal drag, there for equal power requirement. But you did get me thinking, vertical component of lift less than gravity, why is it not accelerating downward? That is the undrawn arrow, the drag from vertical descent (like parachute!) plus the vertical lift component matches gravity. The horizontal part of the lift moves the glider forward. I prefer to take lift from velocity. Drag and thrust match. $\endgroup$ – Robert DiGiovanni Oct 15 '18 at 21:30

Waipio is the very definition of verdant, tropical, green, historical and mystical valley. And the best way to explore Waipio Valley is on the back of a horse. With their connections the guides lead you across properties that you could not access otherwise. You see taro fields, towering waterfalls, jungle trails and sometimes even taste some wild tropical fruit.
We went on Na'alapa stables and had an enjoyable experience. The scariest part is definitely going down into the valley in the van but these are experienced drivers who do this every day. The horses are actually formerly wild geriatric horses who have lived in the valley for literally generations. One of the women with us asked two of the local teens helping with the horseback ride if the horses were a problem getting into the fields. The teens looked at her astounded. "They were here before us," they replied incredulous that she could ask such a question. And it's true. The wild horses have been there for..generations.
While in the valley they take you around the valley floor (although not all the way to the back of the valley). It's definitely a beautiful ride and was worth spending the day on this trip.
They do have some restrictions however:
• Children under 8 not permitted
• Weight limit 230 pounds
• Participants should be in good general health.
• Not recommended for elderly, disabled, obese, or pregnant women
• All participants must sign a waiver
• Suggested attire is long pants & covered shoes
• Bottled water due to remote location
• All medical/physical restrictions must be declared at time of reservation
Na'alapa Stables has a good reputation and many have had a good experience with them. I hope you will too.

Identity of woman found dead at SF hospital confirmed
SAN FRANCISCO >> A hospital official says the stairwell at a San Francisco hospital where a patient was found dead more than two weeks after she disappeared was several hundred feet from the unit where she was being treated.
San Francisco General Hospital Chief Operating Officer Roland Pickens disclosed the information to the San Francisco Chronicle in Thursday's edition.
Another hospital official, chief nursing officer Terry Dentoni, told the newspaper the woman was being treated in a medical-surgical unit, which is for patients who require less attention. It's unclear where her room was in the unit.
Meanwhile, the medical examiner's office has confirmed the body is that of 57-year-old Lynne Spalding of San Francisco.
Spalding disappeared from her hospital room Sept. 21 and was found dead Tuesday. Authorities are investigating how she died.

How to Make Fabric Wrapped Acoustical Wall Panels
A home theater or recording studio with flat walls and hard surfaces reflects sound, creating echoes that lower the sound quality within the room. Though there are more complex types of acoustical wall panels available, you can save money by making your own simple, fabric-wrapped panels to absorb sound waves and reduce echoing. Each panel consists of a rectangular frame with a core of dense fiberglass or mineral wool board insulation and a decorative fabric cover.
Measure and cut two pieces of 1-by-2 lumber to 49 1/2-inch lengths and two pieces to 24-inch lengths using a miter or hand saw.
Clear a flat work surface and lay down a panel of 2-inch-thick dense fiberglass or mineral wool board insulation measuring 24 inches long and 48 inches wide. Check the insulation has a density rating of 3 pounds to 8 pounds.
Arrange the four wood pieces around the insulation panel to create a frame for the insulation. Since 1-by-2 lumber is actually 1 1/2 inches thick, the 2-inch thick insulation should stick beyond the frame by 1/2 inch on one side. Ensure the insulation fits snugly within the frame so there are no gaps between the wood and the insulation. Trim excess insulation using a utility knife and straight edge or trim the ends of the lumber if necessary using a miter of hand saw. Wear long sleeves, gloves, eye protection and a dust mask when handling or cutting insulation.
Drill pilot holes for two screws at each corner of the frame to prevent the wood from splitting. The holes should go through the 49 1/2-inch pieces and into the end of the 24-inch pieces. Apply carpenter's glue to the ends of the 24-inch pieces and screw each corner together using 1 1/4-inch screws.
Remove the insulation panel from the wood frame and apply spray adhesive to the insulation panel's edges. Insert the insulation panel back in place within the frame. Wait 24 hours for the carpenter's glue and spray adhesive to dry.
Lay a sheet of fabric measuring 36 inches by 60 inches out on a flat work surface. Place the framed insulation panel on top of the fabric with the side with the insulation sticking out facing down (the flat side, or back side, faces up).
Wrap an edge of the fabric around the panel and staple the fabric to back side the frame. Start with one staple at center of one side of the frame, and work your way along the edge of the frame towards the corners, stapling the fabric to the frame at 3-inch intervals. Ensure the fabric is tight and even. Stretch the fabric tightly along the opposite side of the panel and staple the fabric to the back of the wood frame. Staple the fabric to the other two sides of the frame, taking care to neatly fold over and staple each corner. Trim excess fabric away using scissors.
Staple a sheet of muslin fabric -- or any other inexpensive, lightweight fabric -- to the back of the frame to cover the exposed insulation at the back of the panel. Trim any excess muslin fabric.
Attach heavy duty D-ring hanging hardware to the top, back edge of the panel frame and hang the panel from the wall using 20-pound-rated picture frame hanging hardware.

- The 1/2 inch of insulation sticking out beyond the wood frame gives the acoustical panel a rounded edge when wrapped in fabric. For a panel with flat, square edges, use 1-by-3 lumber.
- If you don't want to hang the acoustical panels on the wall, create free-standing panels by attaching two panels together with hinges and standing them up on the floor at slight angles to each other.
- For building larger acoustical panels requiring a sturdier frame, nail a 1/2-inch-thick plywood backing onto the panel.

Meanwhile in Vancouver. The weather is perfect, days of clear sun or misting rain while the east coast gets hammered in snow. I fight off either a tail of a head cold or pollen allergies and try to be good about job hunting on a borrowed couch. I research about wrestling holds for a story commission, chasing my muse to corner it. This is important. I can barely write lately, stringing words together is a chore, but I'm making myself sit still and type this as a warm up.
Weekends I steal away to screw myself silly, passport in hand, jumping on the dick of an American. He looks at me wistfully and checks if all he is to me is sex. No, but it sure helps, as I have a cunt-hunger that I try to respect. Fuck me. I told him that, fuck me properly and the rest would work itself out.
He's cute and funny and handsome, and I like playing pretend with him. I also want him between my legs, slim hips driving piston style. I want what I want, and Brick does it. Trophy boyfriend, handsome enough random girls ask to snap a picture of him with them.
The condo where I am staying has a little gym in the basement (it also has a sauna) and as my breathing lets me (damn cold/pollen) I've started awakening myself from the uncomfortable slumber of my limbs. My body is less than thrilled to be roused, like all living things it prefers to conserve calories. That's my goal for 2018, to take opportunities when they are offered- as long as there's a free treadmill in the basement there's no excuse not to go.
My limbs are now unhappy at the joints, but my brain is clearer. Up here the air tastes clean and sweet and when I crest a hill, suddenly radiant grey-glow mountains, luminous and white capped. It feels silly, like someone put a matter painting up on a set. Eventually I will need to get closer ot one of those and prove it is real.
I have a reasonable level of stress for a person who has upended their life, but not so much that I feel rash. A little overwhelmed and concerned I could push myself harder, as well as grumpy at losing days to sleepiness (yesterday demanded and extra 2 hour nap out of nowhere) but also immensely happy to be having an adventure.
On fetlife I poke at the kink scene, but I haven't yet had the free time to make it worth looking into.

Living Christ Family Center – Our Vision
Raise up an Army Unit of "sold out, fearless, and God reverencing" Christian Soldiers. This Army must be dedicated to the Saviour and motivated by His love, grace, and mercy. This Army of Unified Saints shall be equipped by the five fold ministry IAW (Ephesians 4:11-12).
These Holy Spirit filled Ambassadors will be a mobile force capable of rapid deployment on short notice to any local or foreign destination.
This Church shall be constructed of "living stones", many older and many newer. The older stones shall be the foundation supporting the newer stones. This Army will be trained to fight the enemy and love the lost to Christ on four levels:
- An Army of one – Each Soldier will be trained and equipped to fight alone in the supernatural realm. This will be accomplished by the power of the Holy Spirit and faith/confidence in the Word of God. This Army of one shall endeavor to live a life worthy of a Soldier for Christ. Each Soldier will be trained to use the "Armor of God" and the "Sword of the Spirit" in Love.
- As a family of two or more IAW (Ephesians 5:21 – 6:4). Children submitted to parents. Wives submitted to husbands. Husbands submitted to Jesus and pouring out their lives for their family and loving their wives as Christ loved the church. Parents nurturing their children in the reverence and admonition of the Lord. Each family shall live a life of love and holiness.
- As a church body composed of individuals and families. The body will work together, train and fight together, against the enemy in love and unity of purpose. This purpose shall be motivated by love in the accomplishment of the Great Commission modified to our level of operations to be Ambassadors for Christ in Monroe Valley, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, and the Nations. This shall be accomplished by the power of the Holy Spirit.
- As a part of the universal church commanded by our Lord and Supreme Commander Jesus the Christ. Our purpose shall not be inwardly focused like the world, but outwardly focused on reproducing ourselves at all levels to expand the Kingdom of God for His Glory. We shall keep the vision before us to prevent defeat, and preserve victory pressing toward the goal/prize.

DERWOOD, Md. — Boot-clad feet kick aside tall grass. Heads tilt to peer under logs. A Labrador retriever follows her eager nose through the woods.
Suddenly, a triumphant cry rings out — "Turtle!" — and a hand gently scoops up the creature.
A rescue squad of environmentalists, researchers, state employees and contractors is working against the clock to save Eastern box turtles that would otherwise be crushed or buried alive when hundreds of acres of woods in the Washington suburbs are paved over for a major highway, a process that could begin within weeks.
Turtles found on the expeditions are being put on the safe side of a mesh fence.
"It is literally do or die for the box turtles in the first phase" of the highway project, said Susan Hagood, a wildlife expert with the Humane Society of the United States, who searched with her dog, Drew, who was trained by U.S. Customs.
When the 18.8-mile InterCounty Connector, commonly known as the ICC, is finished, it will include a permanent fence, along with culverts to allow turtles to cross the road safely to make use of all their old haunts on both sides of the road. Larger passages will accommodate wildlife of all sizes.
Concern about roadkill has led to the proliferation of such "critter crossings," as the Federal Highway Administration calls them, over and under roads around the country.
Relocation is rare across U.S.
But relocating wildlife in the path of road construction is a new idea in Maryland and rare throughout the country. Last year, Florida began requiring the relocation of gopher tortoises before any new construction project begins.
The need for relocating turtles is simple. Unlike many other animals, they "can't get out of the way of bulldozers," Hagood said.
While, it's unclear exactly when those bulldozers are coming, the rescuers have to act now because the turtles soon will burrow into the topsoil for the winter. Once that happens, not even the best canine nose or the sharpest human eye will be able to find them.
Eastern box turtles can grow up to 8 inches long under their pretty, patterned shells and are found up and down the East Coast and as far west as Texas. Many biologists fear their numbers will soon dwindle because of modern dangers.
The ICC — envisioned by regional planners since the 1950s and championed as a vital link among the population and job centers of Montgomery and Prince George's counties — has raised the ire of environmentalists, who fear traffic from the road will diminish air quality and who lament the destruction of hundreds of acres of forest.
State 'really stepped up'
Bill Schultz, a biologist with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service who pushed for the ICC turtle relocation, said he knew of no similar efforts anywhere and had some hesitation about advocating a project that focused solely on one species.
"This is a big commitment by state highway," he said. "They've really stepped up."
The study will focus on how well relocated turtles adapt and whether the fence is effective in keeping them out. Ninety-four turtles have been outfitted with transmitters, allowing the researchers to track their location.
Officials hope the study will answer the question, "Is this worth spending the public's money to do?" said Rob Shreve, an environmental manager at the Maryland State Highway Administration.

STEP 1 COMPLETE- Softail Models
Lightweight Softails like the Deuce or Custom fit well into this category if you are looking to get the most performance you can get. Typically, Sport packages are for one up riding and little, or no luggage. These engines have higher compression and a power range from just off idle to redline. If you feel you'd often be riding your Softail 2 up or only have access to 91 octane fuel, then refer to the Sport Touring package below.
view kits
Your Deuce, FatBoy, or Heritage would be comfortable here if you ride 2 up often but still want the most performace you can get. While this package increases compression ratios above the Touring package, it does so in a way that preserves rideability with a personality friendly to bikes that carry passengers and have a heavy rider. These are very reliable combinations but may require a modification in riding style if less than 93 octane fuel is purchased. Usually this means down shifting to pass (eliminating detonation) instead of just rolling it on. It's recommended to run 93 octane fuel in this package, however, in most cases ignition timing can be adjusted to prevent detonation if you only have 91 octane available.
If you spend alot of your time with a passenger and luggage, or live in regions with steep grades and only have access to 91 octane fuel, this is a great setup for you. These combinations are specifically designed to put the power band where you need it most for those long trips thru the mountains with the heaviest of loads while considering the limitations of 91 octane fuel.

FREE Energy Assessment for Northside Homes Continues in August
FREE Energy Assessment for Northside Homes Continues in August Last month, you learned about the ground breaking effort led by the partnership of the City of Cincinnati, Cincinnati Union Coop Initiative (CUCI), Empower Gas & Electric, the Green Umbrella, and Sustainergy Cooperative to help Northsiders cut their energy bills, increase their home's comfort, while reducing their CO2 emission and creating local jobs. A win-win for everyone!
To accomplish this, in July, Sustainergy Cooperative and Empower offered FREE energy assessments to the first 30 homeowners who called. Due to how successful these first energy audits proved to be, FREE energy assessments (valued at $150) will continue to be available in August. After the assessment, the homeowner will be given low cost, high impact energy upgrade recommendations to significantly reduce their energy bills, such as attic insulation, Wi-Fi Thermostats, and LED lighting.
This unprecedented effort in Northside is due to the leadership of Sustainergy and CUCI who have been working on behalf of the neighborhood to persuade this city-wide initiative to start its energy-saving efforts here. Not only will Sustainergy improve the neighborhood's carbon footprint and save homeowners money, it is a Northside business and will create family-sustaining jobs in Northside!
For Northsiders who have not already heard about Sustainergy Cooperative, it is the newest social enterprise launched, by the CUCI just as it has launched or is working on launching Sustainergy's sisters business, Apple Street Market and Our Harvest Cooperative. Sustainergy will also be a worker-owned business in which the profits are fairly shared among its worker-owners.
Sustainergy is a residential energy savings company (ESCO). The cooperative specializes in helping homeowners reduce their utility costs and increase indoor comfort. It provides low cost, high impact home improvements that are engineered to quickly pay for themselves through the heating and cooling savings. Additionally, homeowner can receive up to $750 in rebates. Typically these upgrades, can save homeowners up to $900 per month.
Currently, Sustainergy is looking to hire experienced insulation installers and salespeople. If you are interested in becoming a worker-owner of the cooperative, we would love for you to apply. If interested, contact Additional training will be provided!
If you want to cut your energy bills and improve your home comfort call 614-371-8298 for your FREE assessment ask for your Northside business, Sustainergy Cooperative; or go online use the promo code: SUSTAINERGY at http://empowercincy.com/sustainergy/.

This beautiful village dates back to 1824 when its fine wide streets were laid out by its Scottish forefathers. They brought with them their own native sport, golf, and so established Australia's oldest golf course. The course is still in use and open to anyone holding membership in any other golf club.
Another legacy of Bothwell's founders is the excellent trout fishing available in lakes within the municipality - widely considered to be among the world's best.
Bothwell contains some 53 buildings either classified or recognised by the National Trust. Many were built by convict labour and feature explanatory plaques further enhancing the walking tours of the village. There are many historic buildings to see, some dating back to the 1820's.
Bothwell is the home of the International Highland Spin-In, featuring the World's Longest Thread competition and Australia's Aberdeen Angus, annually holding the largest cattle sale in the Southern Hemisphere.
Fishing: Great Lake, Lake Sorell, Lake Arthur.
Bootmaker's Shop - in original condition with trade tools and original stock (circa 1897).
The Australasian Golf Museum - dedicated to the game of golf and its players, open daily.
