"Belgorod Generation" – the branch of PJSC "Quadra - Power Generation", during the summer repair campaign, will replace more than 8 km of heating systems and hot water supply lines (in terms of one-pipe length equivalent) in Belgorod. The company will invest over RUR 156 mn for this purpose. Today, a timely diagnostics of heating grid has been conducted, the results of which have defined the pipeline sections to be replaced.
"The thermal grids on the balance of the Belgorod branch of PJSC "Quadra –Power Generation" are almost 30% worn-out and require phased replacement. This year, we are implementing large-scale projects of modernization and replacement of heating and hot water pipelines with the use of modern materials. These projects will ensure reliable heat supply to consumers during the heating season," said Mikhail Chefranov, managing director of "Belgorod Generation" – the branch of PJSC "Quadra – Power Generation".
Currently, heating mains in the vicinity of the Botanical Garden of BelGU (in the regional center) have been reconstructed in connection with the removal of the heating system from the area of the road junction. Works are held in the areas of heating networks located in the streets N. Chumichova, Gorkogo, Kostyukova, Semashko, Yunosti Boulevard, and in the territory of the regional hospital. Thermal power engineers here changed dilapidated pipes by new ones, increased the diameter of pipe lines and altered the layout and structure of grids thermal insulation, where necessary.
One of the biggest sites of reconstruction is the heating system in N.Chumichova street. It stipulates replacement of more than 1 km of pipes (in terms of one-pipe length equivalent) and diameter increase. Pipes in polyurethane insulation are used here: they prevent external corrosion of metal. Thanks to a special coating, which is applied directly by the manufacturer, the lifetime of pipelines is increased to 30 years.
In the near future, heating systems will be replaced in Apanasenko, Gostenskoy streets and in the territory of the first municipal hospital. Reconstruction and site improvement of heating networks located under the roads are to be completed before 1 September, as to the other ones – before 1 October 2016.
"Belgorod Generation" – the branch of PJSC "Quadra - Power Generation" will replace totally 18.3 km of heating systems and hot water supply networks in terms of one-pipe length equivalent in the territory of the region for the amount of more than RUR 200 mn.

Police issue royal wedding appeal
Detectives leading the major royal wedding security operation have appealed for the public to be the "eyes and ears" of the 5,000 officers tasked with maintaining law and order on the big day.
Scotland Yard's appeal to the hundreds of thousands of people expected in central London to celebrate Prince William and Kate Middleton's nuptials came as officers revealed another protest group with Middle Eastern links has warned it plans disruptions at the royal wedding.
The Metropolitan Police is already negotiating with extremist campaign groups Muslims Against Crusades (MAC) and the English Defence League over proposed protests.
Preparations for the big day continue and Westminster Abbey, the venue for the wedding ceremony, has now closed its doors to the public so work can begin in earnest.
A full music rehearsal will take place at the Abbey on Wednesday, a dress rehearsal for clergy and broadcasters on Thursday and at some stage the prince and his fiancee will hold their own preparations with senior clergy at the abbey.
Assistant Commissioner Lynne Owens, who is leading the major security operation, made the appeal to the public.
"We want them to be our eyes and ears," she said, adding: "If you see anything or anyone in the crowd that is acting suspiciously, please bring it to the earliest attention of our officers... they are there to help you. We are very clear that we want this to be a safe, secure and happy event, and we intend to act robustly, quickly and firmly if anyone engages in any criminal activity."
All the groups applying to protest have been told by officers that they are likely to be refused permission unless they agree to postpone demonstrations until later in the day.
MAC is understood to have refused the request and failed to turn up at a scheduled meeting with police chiefs last week, Ms Owens said. As a result, MAC does not have an authorised demonstration on the day, she added.
A banner on the MAC website warns princes William and Harry to "watch their backs".

Le Pick Up Depanneur: Not Your Average Dep
Type of Cuisine: Diner Food
Where Did You Have It: 7032 Waverly, Mtl, Qc.
How Much: Everything is under $8. A club sandwich is $7.00; a cheeseburger is $4.25; a green salad is $5.75. Prices can be checked out here.
Rate From 1 to 10: I would rate Le Pick Up a 9 out of a possible 10.
I am not a fan of hipsters. Especially hipsters who are hipsters because it's the cool thing to be right now. And they would never admit to being hipsters either because that's not cool either. They are usually spotted on the Plateau questioning their sexuality and looking for the next cool bar to be seen in.
But there are people who were hipsters (I wouldn't even call them that cause it has such a negative connotation) that were hipsters before the trend arose and that will remain that way after the fad dies. And they run my favorite sandwich spot in Montreal, Le Pick Up Depanneur. Tucked away in the heart of Little Italy, it's a convenience store that doubles as a dive. You can get your basic necessities, they offer a selection artisanal products, and the music is always great there. Most importantly though is that they offer some of the best grub in town.
My favorite dish at Le Pick Up is the Chipotle Club. It's your classic club with big chunks of chicken, tomatoes, lettuce and bacon but the twist comes in the mayo. Chipotle mayo is served in many burger joints but it's never spicy enough for me. Le Pick Up doesn't do me wrong in that perspective. My lips are always tingling when my plate is empty.
My boyfriend loves the Veg burger. When we first tried ordered it, we were very sceptical because we have often been disappointed with vegetarian burgers. But one taste of this burger and there was no looking back. The patty was juicy and tasty. We actually thought it was meat for a minute!
These are only two of our favorite meals. Le Pick Up offers an awesome Steak Sub and Pulled Pork sandwich. We have yet to taste the vegetarian Pulled Pork sandwich but it's next on our list. The burgers are great and the soups are wholesome and hearty. Their breakfasts are still unconquered territory for us seeing as we never get up early enough to enjoy them.
And most importantly for me, what makes a place even greater than it can be, is good coffee. And their coffee is phenomenal, courtesy of Cafe Union, Montreal's finest coffee supplier.
The lovely individuals that run Le Pick Up are doing a great job and I will never discriminate against hipsters again. Unless they will on the Plateau.

Unanswered: SQL with parameters on Oracle using MS ODBC driver
I, and it would appear many others on other newsgroups, have found that parameterised sql statements do not work when using Microsofts ODBC drivers but does work when usings Oracles ODBC driver.
I am using Delphi 5 and BDE 5.2, Oracle 9.1i, MDAC 2.8
My client insists on keeping to MS. Has anyone seen any authorative statement listing this as a problem, or other good reason to use Oracles driver?
Many Thanks

Weve also had various issues in terms of reliability and performance with the MS drivers so we moved to the Oracle ones. I dont think MS really pay much attention to their Oracle drivers, after all if they ran really well people might start moving from Sqlserver to Oracle.

If Microsoft's driver does not allow for the use of bind variables, then definitely use Oracle's driver. Bind variables are very very very important : if you don't use bind variables and the values of your parameters change often, Oracle will hard-parse almost every query, which is a performance killer. For more details on the need for bind variables, you can check Tom Kyte's site here and search for "bind variables" (keep the double-quotes).

I have had no problems using either Delphi and VB with Microsoft's Drivers, maybe there is something else we should look at ?
.. What I will agree with you is that in the rare case of Delphi ( VB no problems ), I have seen statements which binds too many inputs, and you end up having 1 * X statements cached, instead of one, depending on the type of input.

Knowing Microsofts mindset, I wouldn't be surprised if Microsofts oracle ODBC drivers are deliberately slow and limited. After all, they don't want you to use oracle, they want you to use sql-server. I never use Microsofts ODBC drivers, I always download Oracles. They have always been more solid, fast and reliable.Bill

MP3 Player
I updated the MP3 player last night with a new (eclectic, exotic, extravagant) playlist. Regular or returning visitors may need to refresh this page. Watch out, Ionisation starts very quietly.
I've also switched MP3 encoder for this set of tracks. I was using iTunes, but I've found a little freeware programme called Switch that has an excellent range of conversion options and a very straightforward user interface. It's made by an Australian company called NCH Swift Sound Software who make an interesting and unusual range of reasonably-priced audio programs for Mac, PC, and PDAs. Check 'em out…
Anyway, I've started encoding now in stereo at 160kbps, assuming most people are on broadband. If anyone experiences problems please let me know. Which leads me on nicely to:
Audio Quality
Back in June—here in fact—I commented on the widening gap in audio quality experienced by music producers and music consumers. This week The Guardian ran an article by Jack Schofield that discussed this very issue, although mostly in terms of the small market for SACD and DVD-A. However, he does offer this pertinent summary that reinforces my own observations:
We have become the audio version of a fast food nation, consuming low-quality music on the run never sitting down to savour a higher-quality experience.
Quite. Thanks for coming, and please feel free to leave a comment.

BRASILIA, Jan 11 (Reuters) - Brazilian President Michel Temer backed the central bank's surprise decision to aggressively cut interest rates on Wednesday, saying that he sees room for more monetary easing ahead.
In an unusual statement following the bank's decision, Temer said the rate cut shows that conditions are in place for an economic recovery this year.

BMH: What is something you wish someone would have told you before you became an author?
JG: I knew I would have to do publicity for my writing but I didn't realize that would to learn so much about social media, i.e. blogs, Facebook, Linked In, and Twitter, during the last ten years. The Blurb and PR are harder to write than the novels.
BMH: You can go back in time, meet and chat with anyone, who would it be? What would you talk about?
JG: That's a hard question. Marie Curie or Elizabeth I of England. Both women didn't meet society's norms for women. I'd ask both the same question. Would your life have been easier if you were a man? I suspect they'd say no, but it would have been different.
BMH: Why crime fiction?
JG: I guess I write the type of novel I enjoy reading. I like novels with strong plots that make me think and that have lots of action.
BMH: Have you written in other genres?
JG: I written The Good Old Days? A Collection of Short Stories. The stories could be classified as historical or maybe even literary fiction.
BMH: What is something you've never written about, but hope to some day?
JG: I want to write about real social problems and I have. In several of the stories in The Good Old Days?, I address child and spousal abuse. It's annoying how many seem to think these are new problems in our society or that these problems do not affect middle-class, so called "nice" Americans. In all my thrillers and mysteries, I try to gently probe the stereotypes that hinder women in the work place. That's why my heroine, Sara Almquist, is an outgoing scientist, not a shy, bookish nerd.
BMH: How big a part did your upbringing have on your writing?
JG: I always knew I would have to support myself. So I trained to be a scientist, and figured I'd do arty things after I had an established career. Thus I was professor in biology and wrote hundreds of research reports and 4 editions of a text on nutrition. I learned to enjoy writing and retired early so I could write novels.
BMH: What two words best describes your writing style?
JG: Fact-based and fast-paced. I cheated and used hyphenated words.
BMH: How do you create your characters?
JG: My characters grow out of reality and are and often are an amalgam of traits I've observed in others. For example, the dean of the medical school in Murder…A Way to Lose Weight is not any one person but a combo of about a dozen university administrators I observed. Several of them would hold their hands in a praying position when they were finessing a point. I couldn't resist have my medical school dean do it whenever he wasn't exactly telling the whole truth.
BMH: Outliner or seat-of-your-pants writer?
JG: I'm a combination. Each of my novels start with a what if question. Then I comb the scientific literature and news headlines for ideas for information related to the topic. Usually I prepare about a 5-page outline with plot, scene, and character sketches. Then I let the character take over and tell me what they think.
BMH: When did you know you wanted to be a writer?
JG: First off, no matter your career, you have to become a writer to succeed. Scientific research is really just a hobby, unless you write the result clearly and get your results disseminated in journals. Publish or perish is reality. Now I'll give more the type of answer you expected. As an assistant professor, I realized sometimes the best way to tell the truth was through fiction. But I decided bide my time and gain life experiences before I tried to write a novel.
BMH: Do you have a daily writing routine?
JG: Yes and no. I try to spend 40 hours a week on writing related activities. That includes writing and editing fiction, publicizing my work (through blogs, Facebook, twitter, talks, book signings, etc.), attending conferences or writers' meetings, and doing research. The percent of time on each activity depends on where I'm at in the writing cycle and my mood.
BMH: How do you handle research?
JG: Carefully and thoroughly. Ok, enough of being a smart ass. I collect ideas, both electronically and in paper files, daily. I have hundreds of files. Some are on interesting travel sites and of course my travel experiences. Others are on interesting scientific ideas, for example your gut bacteria can affect your weight. I used that idea in Murder…A Way to Lose Weight. Still others are news clippings with interesting quotes or character profile. Before I start a novel, I spend a month reviewing my files and picking out ideas and locations that fit together.
BMH: How much editing do you do as you write your first draft?
JG: I'm a slow writer because I revise constantly.
BMH: How do you use social media to promote yourself?
JG: I try to write one or two blog a week—my own and guest blogs. I advertise it on twitter and on at least twenty Facebook sites. I also used to use Linked In sites.
BMH: What do you think of the new faces of publishing….ebooks, POD, indie-publishing?
JG: I'm not sure my opinion matters. They're reality and have to be used strategically.
BMH: Do you blog?
JG: Yes, my blog is called JL Greger's Bugs. I write mainly about writing and publicizing books with bits on travel and science. The title of my blog can represent the things that annoy or interest me. It also is a way to include my Japanese Chin, named Bug. He sits by me when I'm at the computer. He's also featured as himself in all my novels. My main character, Sara Almquist, is dotty over her dog also named Bug. Both the real and the fictional Bug are pet therapy dogs who regularly visit hospitals. This is a major feature in the book I'm now working on. You know you meet a lot more people and hear a lot more stories when you're with a dog.
BMH: What comes first for you, characters or plot?
JG: I've had one lead character in my novels I Saw You in Beirut, Malignancy, Ignore the Pain, and Coming Flu but the other characters come and go. I actually start with a plot and a location. I love to travel and to learn about other cultures so I try feature a different location in each novel. For example, I built on my experiences as a scientific and education consultant in Lebanon and the Emirates in I Saw You in Beirut. My travels in Cuba and Bolivia are featured in Malignancy and Ignore the Pain.
BMH: How about some hard-earned advice.
JG: There is no such thing as too much research or too much editing. Talks at libraries in the Albuquerque area are generally bombs.
BMH: How did you celebrate when you held your first book in your hands?
JG: I didn't. I knew the worst was ahead – all the publicizing of the book.
BMH: Tell us about your first appearance as an author.
JG: I had been a professor for over thirty years and a popular speaker to health professionals on nutrition and toxicology. I was used to and comfortable with large audiences. I arranged with a local library o speak on "Science in Fiction" and to discuss my new book Coming Flu. Three people showed up for the talk, which I had spent days preparing PowerPoint slides for.
BMH: Have you had any strange fans you can tell us about?
JG: I had one, who was bit of a stalker. Enough said.

Saturday, April 25: Mississippi Mud
by John M. Floyd
Do you ever read a story or novel and wonder how the author came up with it? What in the world did he or she hear, or see, or read, or dream, that triggered the idea or ideas that led to the finished product?
Okay, I know, sometimes it doesn't matter. But what if the story was a really good one, one that you know you'll remember for a long time, one that left a deep impression on you? What if you'd just like to find out more about it?
Secrets of the Rich and Famous
Well, now and then an anthology or a collection of short fiction will feature a summary of exactly that kind, and will reveal the origins of — and sometimes other little factoids about — each story in the volume. A recent example is Stephen King's collection Just After Sunset. A section in the back of the book includes several paragraphs about each story, telling the curious where the Kingster got the inspiration to create that particular tale. I enjoyed those little revelations. They made me feel that SK is actually human after all, and has everyday experiences just as I do, and finds a way to use those to work his magic.
Another author I've always liked is Larry McMurtry. In Books, his nonfiction account of his adventures as a bookscout, he says the idea for his novel Cadillac Jack came from a D.C. street corner where two pimps were discussing a third pimp who had just cruised by in a Caddie. Talk about a strange source of inspiration …
Secrets of the Poor and Unknown
As for me, almost anything can crank the engine that gets the storywheels turning, but I remember a few times when ideas appeared almost intact and fully formed in my head. One involved a visit to a tiny, remote island in Prince William Sound a few years ago — my very first thought, when I saw its tangled forests and fog-shrouded peaks, was: "What if you'd been left here to die?" The resulting story, about an Alaskan bank robber double-crossed by his accomplice, was written aboard my friend's boat that night as we lay at anchor in a cove on that unnamed island, and became "Rainbow's End," the title story of my first book of short fiction.
Another story was born when my wife informed me that the power company had apparently cut the TV cable while digging in our yard, and when the cable folks came to fix that, they wound up cutting the power lines. Believe it or not, they played musical excavations for several days, back and forth, blindly disrupting each other's efforts, before both services were fully restored. By then, though, the incident had morphed into a mystery called "Dooley's Code," which I published first at Amazon Shorts back in '06.
Whatever Lights Your Fire
Some of my other stories weren't tied to a single event, but came about because of something I decided I wanted to try, something I hadn't done before. One story, "War Day," was written using only one character and no dialogue at all, and another, "Doctor's Orders," was almost nothing but dialogue. "Clara's Helper" was a mystery short featuring only two people in a single setting, like a one-act play. Another, "The Early Death of Pinto Bishop," happened only because I wanted to do a story about a little boy in the Old West, and "A Place in History" involved a time-traveling novelist. In those last two cases I knew what subject I wanted to write about before I came up with the plots themselves. And I once wrote a story with only an opening line in mind. I knew I wanted it to start with one lady whispering to another, "He's still out there." Who's still out there? Out where? I didn't know yet — I just figured that would be an interesting beginning. It became "Knights of the Court," about an Assistant DA stalked by a killer.
And sometimes — not often — I do a story based only on a picture I have in my head of certain characters. I've so far sold more than two dozen stories in a "series" featuring a nosy schoolteacher and a guy she taught in the fifth grade, who is now the sheriff of their small Southern town. (Think "The Andy Griffith Show" and then imagine Aunt Bee helping Sheriff Taylor do his job whether he wants her to or not.) That series began one sleepy afternoon when I was sitting on my mother's front porch, watching her keep an wary eye on a couple of strangers driving slowly past her house. To my surprise, I could suddenly see this bossy, plump schoolteacher character in my mind (although Mom never taught school, and is neither bossy nor plump), along with the pleasant but lazy fellow who would become Sheriff Chunky Jones. Not that it matters, but the following is the opening of "Guardian Angel," the first story of that series. I had it written in my head even before my mother and I left the porch to go inside for supper.
Angela Potts was always the first to see trouble coming.
A retired schoolteacher, she pictured herself as a lone sailor stationed on the bow, watching for rocks and icebergs in the fog. In reality, her lookout point was the wooden swing on her front porch. From there she monitored the usually calm seas of her hometown, alert for any sign of a threat.
The point is, ideas are all over the place, if we watch for them. Anything, anyone, anywhere, can be the catalyst for a story. Or a series.
Be alert.

I adore your Angela Potts stories! I am mulling over a series character myself right now and hoping I have as much success with her as you have with Angela. Thanks for another great column!
April 25th, 2009 at 1:55 pm, Dick Stodghill Says:
In my opinion, even the most miserable experience provides material that sometime will leap to mind and be just what you need to move a story forward. I can trace some story ideas to an event. Others, I haven't a clue. I suppose they go back to either experience or a devious mind. You are better at finding or remember roots than I am. I do recall spending an hour in a small coal mining town in southern Ohio late in the Great Depression. The desolation and air of hopelessness provided the setting for a story called "Switchback."
The McMurtry story seems to support the theory that bad neighborhoods and taverns often provide great material.
Did you mother solve the mystery of the two strangers cruising the neighborhood? It reminds me of a few times with Pinkerton's when I had to park on a quiet residential street and wait. It didn't take long for a cop car to arrive. Always wondered what the neighbors thought when the police left and I was still there.
April 25th, 2009 at 2:54 pm, Rob Says:
Great column and I just loved the title.
I like the idea of looking at a beautiful scene and thinking "how would you kill someone here?" Occupational hazard for some of us…
April 25th, 2009 at 3:52 pm, J F Benedetto Says:
Where do ideas come from…? I never pondered it much, but it seems to me that a number of the story ideas I get come from rather obscure facts, which become clues in a mystery story that I then build around said fact. (For example, when you hang up a telephone for a second and pick it up again, if the person you were talking to has not yet hung up at their end, they will still be on the line.)
And some have been built on things "everyone knows" that turn out to be absolutely wrong, which in turn trips up an "expert" who should have known the real truth, but obviously didn't. (Seasons are reversed south of the Equator, so this summer day here in the US is a deep winter day in Chile.)
Others are built around a serendipitous moment that makes me go "Of course!" (An example of this was in the creation of the movie THE LAVENDER HILL MOB, in which a truckload of stolen gold bullion has to be smuggled out of the country, but how? The producers of the film were stumped, until one of them happened to pick up a lead miniature of the Eiffel Tower–and he said "Of course!" So they get the gold out of England by melting it down, casting it into Eiffel Tower paperweights, and shipping it openly right past the Customs people, who pay no attention to the "lead" paperweights.)
And then, there's the simple moment in which I look around and say "This would be a perfect place for a murder…"
April 25th, 2009 at 7:43 pm, Jeff Baker Says:
I love the "where-did-that-story come-from" stuff! A simple thing can trigger an idea; Daphne duMaurier was watching a farmer working in his field with birds happily diving behind him, gobbling up the unearthed worms. She wondered simply "What happens if they stop being interested in worms?" The result was her story The Birds…
April 25th, 2009 at 11:49 pm, John Floyd Says:
I do think a lot of us like to find out more about what triggered the idea for certain stories. (Jeff, I'd never heard that about the duMaurier idea before — I love that kind of thing.)
By the way, I was rummaging through some of my stuff last year and uncovered the old issue of AHMM with "The Birds" in it. What a find!

Dick, I forgot to address your question. As it turned out, the two mystery motorists were visitors who had lived there in my hometown (near it, actually) many years ago, and were cruising around looking at how much things had (not) changed. This of course upgraded their status to "acceptable" in Mom's view.
As many of you already know, life in smalltown America — especially the Southern version — is a whole different world.

The Terminate the Rate campaign gathered momentum this week, as the coalition lobbying for lower mobile termination rates (MTRs) – headed by BT and 3 – enlisted two new members. The campaign added the recently merged charity, Age Concern and Help the Aged, as well as big business representative Communication Management Associate (CMA).3 and BT have been using newspaper adverts to attract new members to the cohort. The group is aiming to reduce termination rates – the charges between networks to connect a call – to zero. There are now nine companies in the Terminate the Rate coalition, the two new recruits join BT, 3, Federation of small businesses (FSB), the national union of students (NUS), Carers UK, Britain's general union (GMB) and Moneysupermarket.com.Ofcom is due to start its second consultation process on the issue and has so far 'opened up the debate of MTRs' with a six point recommendation.

ENGAGING PHYSICIANS MAKING IMPROVEMENTS IN PATIENT EXPERIENCE February 18, 2009 PHYSICIANS MEDICAL GROUP OF SANTA CRUZ Nancy Greenstreet, MD Medical Director Linda Muhoberac Quality Improvement. DOCTOR PATIENT COMMUNICATION. Teach principles of Agenda Setting

ENGAGING PHYSICIANS MAKING IMPROVEMENTS IN PATIENT EXPERIENCEFebruary 18, 2009 PHYSICIANS MEDICAL GROUP OF SANTA CRUZNancy Greenstreet, MDMedical DirectorLinda MuhoberacQuality Improvement
PMG is involved in a state wide collaborative and we are learning about some interesting things that can make a PCPs life easier. One of them is Agenda Setting. It is so cool. It's a way of structuring the office visit so the patient and the doctor feel they accomplished something. Basically, most doctor visits are a doctor-centered visit, a patient- centered visit or a patient-centered visit with agenda setting. A patient centered visit with agenda setting is more like a partnership, rather than the patient or the doctor running the show. (tone of collaboration)
Not enough PCPs could attend because of family issues (be flexible)
PMG opened the workshops to specialists as well.
Emailed and mailed invitations
Phone call follow-ups to non-responders

"The (Dan O'Connell) workshop was wonderful. I have used it daily and it
seems to work really well with most of my patients. Agenda setting works! It
can be a challenge at times with those patients who like to talk, but not any
more challenging than the prior interactions. What I have found is that I have
to let go of my own Agenda unless ample time. This helps me feel less
rushed/anxious/etc. I am Working on Embracing the Chaos!"
"I have definitely used the agenda setting with many of my patients. At first I
found it much harder than I thought it would be. It disrupts the normal
conversation flow of the encounter- which I like to use to help people feel
comfortable. The agenda setting makes me feel like I'm being abrupt, cutting
them off. But it's getting smoother. People are at first taken aback by my new
approach, but I explain it helps me make sure I don't miss anything they want
to talk about. So when they come up with 'just one more thing....' I feel better
about postponing the issue to another visit."
"I've tried agenda setting with nearly all my patients. It seems to be good to
learn their expectations up front. I certainly don't have the finesse that Dan
possessed, but practice makes perfect. I've had less practice with the
question/pause technique. As a young doc, I still talk more than listen
(knowledge/ego/insecurity talks, -- wisdom listens)."
"Dan O'Connell also helped me realize I talk too much. I need to give a brief
answer and shut up while they process it. And I need to accept that I can't
review all major issues at every visit. I have to trust that if they don't tell me
about it, it's probably not acting up. I found that seminar incredibly helpful."
"I am trying agenda setting with all new patients and now on day four it is
becoming easier and more rote and I don't feel like I am reading a script.
PSH (psychosocial history) I have been doing for some time now and
patients really feel you do connect with them when you can remember a
nonmedical fact about their last visit. "

Another Disney film, and another winner — it seems like there's just no stopping the company from belting out high-quality films. To be honest I was a little apprehensive of a live action remake of a classic animation film. Surprisingly, whether or not you're a fan of the 1991 film, you'll find Beauty and the Beast to be an enjoyable fun remake and also a visually gorgeous time at the cinema.
STORY: This is a live-action remake of Disney's classic love story. 'Beauty lies within' is what an enchantress expects a vain and arrogant prince (Dan Stevens) to know. He learns it the hard way when her curse turns him into a terrifying beast. Her spell can only be broken if he finds true love. Meanwhile, Belle (Emma Watson), the non-conforming daughter of a village inventor and artist, seeks an adventure. She stumbles upon the beast and magic unfolds…
DIRECTION: Directed by Bill Condon Beauty and the Beast brings back everything you loved about the 1991 film and adds a layer of live action beating heart. This is clearly a soft reboot of in a way, intended to create a new generation of fans of the story. In a movie, we're quickly introduced to a young French prince who is transformed into a hideous creature after he behaves ungentlemanly with an enchantress. The movie is wonderfully directed and has all the Fantasy flavors which can easily please any cinema growers.
WHAT`S GOOD: You expect a big Disney film to look good so the fact that Beauty and the Beast offer some stunning visuals is predictable. Seen on an IMAX screen it's quite an experience to witness the gigantic and ornately designed walls of the beast's castle. The secondary characters, including a candelabra named Lumiere (Ewan McGregor), a mantel clock (Ian McKellan), a harpsichord (Stanley Tucci), a teapot (Emma Thompson) are all beautifully animated and also double as the film's comedic relief. Also impressive are the makeup effects of the beast — it's impossible to figure out if Steven's beastly avatar was done with physical makeup or motion capture or CGI. The beast is a tragic character and thanks to the intricate detailing it`s easy to sympathize with him despite his hideous looks.
SHOULD I WATCH IT? What essentially works for 'Beauty and the Beast' is its relevance. It stands out because no matter how old the tale, it holds significance especially today when smartphones and selfies have turned us all into beauty loving beasts. Yes, thumbs up for this wonderful fantasy one could easily enjoy his weekend with this movie.

Supervised playtime for your dog while you are at work or away – whether it's for a few hours or boarding overnight, we've got you covered. In large open spacious playrooms, your dog will enjoy an indoor climate controlled environment to run, romp, stomp, and wrestle on a clean rubber-matted floor with other friendly dogs. Along with the indoor play areas, your dog can also enjoy our fully secure fenced outdoor facility at their leisure. All "potty breaks" are outdoor.
All playcare sessions are totally supervised and complete with lots of people interaction, snack time and nap time (if needed). All dogs are fully screened to assure that they are dog and people-friendly. Temperament tests are done by appointment only. Current up-to-date vaccination records are required at this time. We reserve the right to expel any canine at any time. For more information, see our rules section.
Dogs who are provided with stimulation by exercise, play and socialization are generally much happier, healthier and well-adjusted animals. Best of all, you can relax and enjoy your evening because your dog has had a full day too.
While you are at work your dog is at home sleeping, possibly getting into mischief, waiting for you to come home and play. At It's A Dog's Life we provide a place where dogs who are generally left alone all day can go to socialize, burn excess energy and simply break up the monotony of their daily routines.
While at playcare, using positive methods, we also reinforce basic obedience like sit, stay, come and no jumping, especially on people.

Homemade fan posters for Tron by Eric Tan:
Put them up side by side. For sale at a random time today at Mondo.
This saturday was spent delving through old comic-book stores in Copenhagen. Among other things, I found these gems:
This is retro retro futurism. That means it's retro futurism from the 80ies. Storm by Don Lawrence, details the adventures of Storm the astronaut and his time-travel-gone-wrong adventures in a distant future where society has regressed into a barbarian steam-punk with oversized critters and mounts culture. Excellent.
Taobot features delicious print graphics. Dirty, gritty, yet elegantly simple. Be sure to scroll down past the shoes.
Khaled's beautiful redesign sports a cleverly unusual sidebar, a surprisingly un-blog-like layout, and pretty details. Lovely!
Benjamin Carre's Illustrations
Beautiful artwork worth a visit.
Estonian Cold War TV Ads
A smorgosbord of great advertisements. [via HHH]

From the Console Application, when referring to another class of project,Row using instance property becomes build error.
Both the case of using prefiled .fx and the case of using project reference were the same phenomenon.However, the instance properties of classes included in island.fx and rtl.fx can be used correctly.
What is the cause?
can you give me a testcase for this? This doesn't show here as is.
Upload the project files.
ConsoleApplication1.zip (9.5 KB)
I think I already fixed these for the upcoming beta, it doesn't fail here. Thanks.
Can you retest with friday's beta? do you have beta access? if not, send me a PM to sales@ or mh@.
I tried it in the beta version (22.214.171.1245) and it worked.I am sorry that the verification was not enough.

Tech Start-Up Music2text Wins Digital Shoreditch Capital Day
London, 28th May 2012 – Technology start-up Music2text has beaten 40 start ups to win Best Pitch at Digital Shoreditch Capital Day. Music2text were also awarded Best Presentation, presented by Kam Star, Founder of Digital Shoreditch and additionally, the company received a bonus prize from Blick Rothenberg Chartered Accountants, one of the event's sponsors, which will provide Music2text with enterprise class funding and corporate structure advice.
The 40 start-up technology companies across all industries were invited to pitch their concept to attending venture capitalists and angel investors, an event that is part of the Digital Shoreditch festival. Music2text's concept is to give labels and artists the ability to sell or promote single tracks and ringtones directly to consumers, using tried-and-tested SMS technology. The company will officially launch early Summer after a considerable development period.
Digital Shoreditch is a festival celebrating the outstanding creative, technical and entrepreneurial talent of East London and Tech City. The festival runs from May 21st to June 1st and highlights the thriving digital and tech talent from Clerkenwell to Stratford, Old Street to Bethnal Green and Dalston to the City and beyond.
The two latest prize wins come not long after Music2text landed the top prize at the 27thMarch Music 4.5 TechPitch Event, organised by 2Pears in association with EMI. James Parton (Head of Marketing, BlueVia and Telefonica) and one of the five judges at the event described Music2text as, "a really simple idea, but the best often are and their SMS business model best suits the immediate needs of the global music industry."
Said Denver Thomas, CEO of Music2text: "We are very proud to have won these honors and I congratulate Digital Shoreditch for organising such a complex event and making it look easy. To be recognized for achievement, all prior to our official UK launch, is a great sign that we are on track for success."
Commented Nilesh Shah, Senior Tax Partner at Blick Rothenberg: "Blick Rothenberg is delighted to be supporting such a great technology company as Music2Text. It continues our long tradition of assisting entrepreneurial businesses throughout their business life cycle."
About Music2text
Our PRS compliant B2B platform has been developed to resolve missing gaps in mobile distribution, marketing and the royalty reporting chain for recorded music.
A label or artist can sell or giveaway tracks direct to consumer with SMS and keep 100% of sales and no credit card is required as the transaction is auto billed to the mobile phone.
That same artist can capture their entire audience not only live from the stage to a mobile database but also from social media, TV/Radio and press interviews.
Fans text the song name of the artists track to a five digit number, they immediately receive an SMS message containing a web link that takes them to the artist mobile music store to download the song.
The mobile database further connects artists to real core fans and the added benefit for labels is the continuously post marketing of new releases, tour info or breaking news to fans with SMS from the Music2text dashboard.
About Blick Rothenberg
Blick Rothenberg is a leading independent firm of chartered accountants. Based in Central London, it offers audit, assurance and business advisory services, as well as advice on corporate and personal tax matters.

Frustrated with the slow process at the FAA, Sen. Claire McCaskill said Thursday she will write legislation to allow passengers to use electronic devices during all aspects of flight.
In a letter to FAA Administrator Michael Huerta, the Missouri Democrat said she is "concerned" with Huerta's "lack of direct engagement" on expanding the use of personal electronic devices during flight and called the current set of rules that force passengers to put away their iPods at altitudes below 10,000 feet "preposterous."
The proposed bill would not apply to cellphone use but would dramatically expand the use of iPads, other tablets, music players and other devices before, during and after flight.

What's sweeter than a sweater?
It's got to be one of the most comfortable items of clothing I own. It's so snuggly!
These are the shoes I mentioned in my last post. They weren't as uncomfortable as I thought they'd be - but I was rather overdressed for a casual Sunday lunch!
What else did my Sunday involve?
Baking raspberry-topped cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World. Messy but delicious!
Admiring the devine bunch of tulips the boy sprung on my as a surprise last week. Yes I know, I'm a total bragger but fresh beautiful flowers are one of my favourite things!
Now onto something serious. I've been thinking a lot about what I'm going to do next year, with both my resolution and my blog. Obviously things will change somewhat on January 1st 2009 (which is coming up awfully soon), but the last thing I want to do is leave this blog to shrivel up and disappear. I have some ideas but as it's late (and I have an early start at work tomorrow) I'll leave those thoughts until another time!
Dress: thrifted, Northcote opshop
Tights: my sister's old school tights
Shoes: ebay (that ebay habit again, ha!)
Necklace: gift from a friend

KUALA LUMPUR (AA) – Legal challenges are mounting for Malaysian opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, with a former aide filing a civil suit just four months after an appeal court overturned a high court dismissal of a sodomy case against him.
Sodomy, even if consensual, is a crime in Muslim Malaysia and punishable by a jail term up to 20 years.
In the case, filed at the end of June but only made public Wednesday, Mohammad Saiful — a special assistant to Anwar from March to June 2008 and aged 22 years old at the time — said that repeated statements by Ibrahim that he had lied in the sodomy case has caused him "physical pain and suffering" which had led to depression.
He is now demanding $15.6 million from Ibrahim for the alleged initial act and for injuring his reputation by his public statements.
Members of Anwar's People Justice Party (PKR) see the lawsuit as the latest attempt by the current government, led by Prime Minister Najib Razak, to smear Ibrahim's reputation.
"It is the continuing harassment by Saiful and the people behind him who are the political enemies of Anwar [Ibrahim]," William Leong Jee Keen, a PKR member of parliament, told the Anadolu Agency Wednesday.
The case has been running for some time. Ibrahim, a charismatic politician, was accused of sodomy by Saiful shortly after he led the opposition in 2008 to its best performance in parliamentary elections since independence from Great Britain in 1957.
The opposition won the majority of the votes, but less than half of the seats because of the way the electoral system was organized.
A high court acquitted Ibrahim in 2012 citing manipulation of DNA samples that tainted the evidence. But last March, an appeal court overturned the judgment and sentenced Anwar to five years in jail. Anwar has appealed the sentence and the Federal Court is expected to fix a date Thursday for Anwar's first hearing.
"As the criminal case is coming to an end, they want to continue to affect Anwar's image with this civil case," said Leong. "[Even though] the high court has already said that Mohammed Saiful was not a credible character."
Barely two weeks after the March appeal court decision, the three-party opposition coalition led by Ibrahim's PKR party made further inroads in parliamentary elections, increasing its share by seven seats and putting the United Malay National Organization, the governing party since independence, on edge.
But in recent months, the opposition coalition has been weakened by internal disputes mostly between the multiracial PKR and the Malay Muslim party, the Pan-Malaysian Islamic party.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump agreed to add fresh Medicaid curbs to the House Republican health care bill Friday, bolstering the measure with support from some conservative lawmakers but leaving its prospects wobbly. House leaders discussed other amendments calibrated to round up votes and scheduled a showdown vote Thursday.
"I just want to let the world know I am 100 percent in favor" of the measure, Trump said at the White House after meeting around a dozen House lawmakers and shaking hands on revisions. "We're going to have a health care plan that's going to be second to none."
While the rapid-fire events seemed to build momentum for the pivotal GOP legislation, its fate remained clouded. One leading House conservative said the alterations were insufficient and claimed enough allies to sink the measure, and support among moderates remained uncertain.
"My whip count indicates that there are 40 no's," enough to defeat the bill, said Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., who leads the hard-line House Freedom Caucus. He said the change "doesn't move the ball more than a couple yards on a very long playing field."
Across the Capitol, Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., facing re-election next year, became the fourth Republican senator to announce his opposition. That left Senate GOP leaders at least two votes shy of what they'd need to prevail.

The holidays have come to the Disneyland Resort and it's the perfect time to make magical family memories. From the amazing A Christmas Fantasy Parade to the Festival of Holidays at Disney California Adventure, the holiday magic at Disneyland is something you don't want to miss.
I always enjoyed when my kids were on break from school, be it winter, spring, summer or fall. We loved spending that extra time together. We'd plan the most awesome activities. We especially had fun making memories and spending time together at Disneyland. There are always so many things to see and do. During this break from school, be sure to make your own magical Disney memories and enjoy all the special events.
The festive decorations greet you long before you enter the main gate, and continue throughout Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. I'm here to tell you, the magic of Disneyland holiday decorations melts my heart. I'm a wreath girl myself, and I'm over the moon for all the gorgeous and festive wreaths. And garland!
Be ready to get your fill of sweet and savory Treats and Goodies. And ornaments! How many magical Disney ornaments do you have for your tree? And of course there are new 2016 Happy Holidays collector pins for collecting or trading.
Sleeping Beauty's Castle is magical all year long. But during the holidays it's enhanced with the magic of Christmas.
Even the animals in the wilds of Adventure Land are in the spirit. Be sure to take a festive trip on the
Jungle Jingle Cruise. The boat skippers are hilarious!
One of our favorite year-round attractions is the Haunted Mansion in New Orleans Square. During the holidays (including Halloween), the mansion is all decked out in the spirit of Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas. And it is absolutely spectacular! Join Jack Skellington, Sally, Oogie Boogie and Zero for the ride of your life!
Now is the perfect time to see Santa Claus. He's just a stroll around the corner at Pooh's Thoughtful Spot in Critter Country. You know this jolly old soul is going to be something special. He is, after all, a Disneyland Santa!
Once again, Disneyland has taken a family favorite and made it even more magical. Happy Holidays with it's a small world! is a musical trip around the world, with almost 300 dancing and singing dolls all decked out for the festivities.
I love a parade! I love rocking to the music of marching bands. I love singing along with the music. A Christmas Fantasy Parade will have you in awe as Disney characters, dancers and musicians 'parade' down Main Street, U.S.A. all the way to it's a small world.
After dark at Disneyland is a whole different magical experience. Sleeping Beauty's Castle is simply breathtaking!
And … there's another parade, too! The fabulous Paint The Night parade does just that. It colorfully lights up the night. We absolutely loved it!
Did we mention Christmas trees? It you love Christmas trees, like I do, you're going to love the festive trees at nearly every turn!
Another special perk at Disneyland Resort is the professional photographers that are stationed throughout the parks. You'll find them at the best photo spots and always ready and willing to take memorable photos. Here we are at the base of the Disneyland Main Street, U.S.A. Christmas tree with our 'personal' reindeer antlers. A fun and oh so precious memory.
Disney California Adventure
Ahhh …. Disney California Adventure is a whole different kind of magic. There's the magic of California and bygone days along Buena Vista Street. And also the magic of Disney and Pixar in seven amazing lands.
Right now throughout California Adventure you can delight in the Festival Of Holidays. Oh. My. Goodness! The Festival Of Holidays will excite every single one of your senses. The sights, sounds, and especially the aroma and tastes of holidays from around the world will be something you'll be sure to enjoy.
As with Disneyland, Disney California Adventure is all about holiday decorations from the ground on up to the highest points.
Don't miss Frozen at the Hyperion Theater. It's a stage production like no other. The cast, the set and the music rival Broadway productions and performances. You will not be disappointed.
Do you want to build a snowman? Your best bet to do so in Southern California is with the lovable, affable, and incomparable Olaf in Hollywood Land!
Ooooh … the music! The lights! The Buena Vista Street Holiday Tree Lighting is at 4:55PM every evening. But check with a cast member, just to be sure.
Cars Land!
A wonderful Disney photographer can usually be found at the entrance to Cars Land. Take advantage of these talented shutterbugs! They know exactly how to get the perfect photo. I'm loving the silhouettes I took with my camera of Cody and Kennedy. But I know if a Disney pro had taken this shot both of their precious smiles would have been captured perfectly. Two happy grandkids indeed!
Could Cars Land be any more colorful than it usually is? Yes, yes and yes! Disney knows just how to do it! Cars Land is delightful year round. But now the spirit of the holidays is everywhere.
The Holiday Toy Drummers are like their own little marching parade. Catch their holiday music on Pacific Wharf.
Located in various locations throughout California Adventure are 14 marketplace kiosks, all with different and unique menus. It's a delightful celebration of diverse cultures, traditions and cuisines. The #FestivalOfHolidays is oh so awesome!
Get all the juicy facts on what exactly each kiosks serves from the Complete Guide to Festive Eats at the New Festival of Holidays on the Disney Parks Blog!
One of our grandkid's favorite places in Disney California Adventure is Redwood Creek Challenge Trail. They could and have (many times) spent hours playing amongst the redwood trees. Go to the Ahwahnee Camp Circle to meet Santa Claus for photos and an autograph.
How about Princess Elena of Avalor? She's holding court on Paradise Pier. She's also ready for photos and an autograph.
The World of Color is always amazing. Always! But, The World of Color – Season of Light for the holidays is a whole new level of amazing. Season of Lights combines traditional Christmas music with dancing water dazzling lights along with our favorite Disney-Pixar characters. It's heartwarming, sentimental and sure to bring old and new magical memories to life.
Be sure to think about joining in with the World of Color Dessert Party Package. Each World of Color Dessert Party Package includes a sweet and savory dessert selection, sparkling beverage. And most importantly, reserved seating to experience World of Color.
Don't forget to check out the amazing Ginger Bread House in the towering lobby of the Grand Californian. Oh, and the Christmas tree! Magical, I tell you!
Take a stroll through Downtown Disney to the far end (near the AMC Downtown Disney 12 Theaters) and you'll find this enormous tree. Gorgeous, yes?
There you have it. The holiday magic is throughout Disneyland, California Adventure and Downtown Disney. And it's all waiting for you to enjoy and make magical holiday memories.
He says: Always so much to see and do. Disney magic is everywhere.
She says: Oh my goodness! The lights! The Christmas trees! The parades!
Cody says: I liked all the Christmas decorations, the Jingle Cruise and my favorite is always the Haunted Mansion.
Kennedy says: The Jingle Cruise was awesome! I liked seeing all the wild animals with the Christmas decorations.
Happy Holidays and Enjoy!!

NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura and NXT Women's Champion Asuka Japan Takeover wallpaper

I think this is the first time in WWE history where 2 Japanese wrestlers are currently the top champions on their respective divisions in a WWE promotion. Indeed (cue Funaki) it's a new era in WWE/NXT. The enigmatic Shinsuke Nakamura just won the NXT Championship from Samoa Joe at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn II and the sultry but dangerous Asuka has been the top competitor in NXT Women's division, successfully and dominantly defending her championship title against every challenger, from Nia Jax to Bayley. These 2 have been top draws for NXT for quite a while now and will continue to be the main eventers for months or years to come until someone from their divisions finally dethrones them. For Nakamura, the list of possible challengers include Samoa Joe, Bobby Roode, Austin Aries or even No Way Jose. And of course, down the line, Hideo Itami. As for Asuka, well, only 1 comes to mind and that's the newcomer Ember Moon. Personal favorite Billie Kay is a no-go right now. It's pretty thin right now in NXT's Women's division so expect the Empress of Tomorrow to have a stronghold on that Women's Championship Title.
Japan has taken over NXT. Get this NXT wallpaper today featuring NXT Champion Shinsuke Nakamura and NXT Women's Champion Asuka!

We jumped at the opportunity to attend a futebol game when Rafael (pronounced Ha-fa-ell), a big fan of Sao Paulo FC 1, asked us if we were interested in SPFC's elimination game with Atletico Goianiense (which apparently is not a top tier team). We (Onuwa, Uma, myself) joined Rafael, and Laura (pronounced Lau-da), and headed to Morumbi stadium, which was an hour's drive away in evening traffic.
Getting in and out of the stadium was a little intense, what with the swarming crowds singing their club anthem as they were being funneled inside, and a large police presence that gave the sense that fights could break out any time. Additionally, all the warnings we tourists get about crime, mugging, etc., tends to put us on edge. Fortunately, we had a great night with nary an incident.
The atmosphere inside was fantastic. Even though the stadium was maybe half full (stadium capacity is about 70,000 people), it was still electric. Unlike sports complexes back in the USA (that I very much enjoy), there were no sideshows, additional entertainment, commercialization, etc. Most of the focus was on the game, and the people created their own sound system, entertainment, etc. NO alcohol is served!!! I can only imagine how crazy things can get with that additional ingredient. I've never been into soccer, and I'd never been to a game before. But being there made us intently watch the game, and the whole experience was a blast!

Vlad Sepetov, the artist behind "DAMN." speaks on the soon to be iconic cover.
As soon as the DAMN. album cover hit the internet, knee-jerk reactions hit social media, memes were made, and discussion popped off. The artist, frequent TDE collaborator Vlad Sepetov has taken to Twitter to weigh in on the discourse. He makes it clear that his mission was to make something "loud and abrasive," and thanks "dave and dot for seeing the value" in the piece. While some reacted negatively to the cover, Sepetov stands by his work. And he should, as his portfolio is dope as hell: To Pimp A Butterfly, Oxymoron, and many more.
already seeing a lot of discussion about the cover. and i'm really excited about it. it's interesting to see people talk about "bad" design.— Vlad Sepetov (@VSepetov) April 11, 2017
but i'm incredibly proud of this cover. i sort of bucked a lot of what my teachers taught me. i wanted to make something loud and abrasive.— Vlad Sepetov (@VSepetov) April 11, 2017
and maybe some won't see that, but i'm glad that dave and dot saw the value in making something that didn't fit the mold.— Vlad Sepetov (@VSepetov) April 11, 2017
just given the bare bones we fleshed something out that has a lot of people talking. it's not uber political like tpab but it has energy imo— Vlad Sepetov (@VSepetov) April 11, 2017

Friedrichshafen FF.41

Estonian Air Force
|Number built
The Friedrichshafen FF.41 was a large, German-built, three-seat, twin-engine amphibious reconnaissance aircraft designed by Flugzeugbau Friedrichshafen in 1917.
The aircraft was mainly used as a reconnaissance aircraft, but also as a bomber and as a mine-laying aircraft. A torpedo-carrying version, the FF.41AT, was also developed. It had a modified fuselage and a single vertical fin (in comparison to the basic model's three). Only five FF.41AT aircraft were manufactured. According to another information, eight FF.41 were built and six of them were stationed in the Baltic territories. In Vindava (Ventspils) were stationed the planes number 996, 1000 and 1209 and in Angersee the planes number 997, 998 and 999.
Use in Finland[edit]
The Finnish Air Force purchased one FF.41AT aircraft from the Germans in Estonia on 26 November 1918, at the end of World War I. It was flown to Sortavala where it was repaired. In 1922, the torpedo-carrying fuselage was changed and the capability to carry torpedoes was removed. This aircraft was in use between 1918–23.
Use in Estonia[edit]
The Estonians found an unairworthy Friedrichshafen FF 41 A in the Tallinn hangars. The remains of the wrecked German aeroplane were used to produce the first aeroplane of the independent Estonian Air Force. On 13 March 1919, the Naval Squad was established and the barrack finished in 1921.[1] According to the other information the Estonians were left three planes. One of them was purchased by the Finns and the other two ones in bad conditions were re-built as a new functioning one, which stayed in the Estonian service.[2]

"By love are they remembered, and in memory they live…"

Bimagrip - Oil and Gas
RS Clare has accumulated vast levels of experience providing safe surfacing solutions in the marine industry and is now turning to the highly safety focussed O&G industry to share its expertise. Offshore rigs, platforms and FPSOs are wet, windy, muddy and oily environments causing slippery surfaces that are very hazardous for operators. On most areas of flat steel decking, all that is applied is anti-slip gritty paint, which needs annual maintenance and re-application.
However, Bimagrip can provide a life-of-asset replacement solution when applied in dry-dock or during initial build. Once surfaces are coated with this superior anti-skid system, the steel is fully encapsulated and protected from salt water corrosion and will never be degraded by hydrocarbon spillages.
Contact us to enquire about applying a surface coating system that will result in measurably higher slip-resistance and a safer working environment on your installation.
