Rock Milling Plant Supplier
In rock milling process, the involved machineries may include jaw crusher, impact crusher, cone crusher and various types of grinding mill.
Stone Grinding Process and Powder Mill Selection
For producing stone powder with particle size about 100 microns, most hammer mills together with vibrating screen machine achieve the process with low energy consumption. However, if fine particle size (d90 < 44 microns) is needed, the milling process will be very difficult with high operation cost and energy consuming. In order to get desired particle size with low production cost, choosing proper mill will be very important.
SBM is world famous rock milling plant supplier, we provide complete series of stone powder grinding mill for sale including ball mill, high pressure mill, vertical mill, roller mill, coarse powder mill, trapezium mill, ultrafine mill etc. Our grinding machine can be processed both in dry and wet operation.
Ball Mill for Rock Milling
There are grinding media such as metal pebble or ceramic in the milling chamber of ball mill. The stone materials are fed into the milling chamber, which is in rapid motion by rotational or vibration energy. This enables very drastic particle size reduction in a very short time and can be operated in wet or dry conditions. The milling efficiency is primarily decided by shear stress or impact and rotating energy, these factors crucially influent the final particle size and shape. So it is important to check on these parameters when choosing a mill.

Although the Ministry of Justice has spent the last two years reviewing
homicide law, there still remains a serious problem around "one-punch
killers" which means punishment for bad luck, according to
Barry Mitchell, Professor of Criminal Law and Criminal
Justice, Coventry University Law School
Nearly three years ago the government set up a review of the homicide
law following a recommendation by the Law Commission in its report
on Partial Defences to Murder (Law Com No. 290, 2004, London: TSO,
at para. 1.12). The vast majority of the debate since then has focussed
on the more serious cases – how murder should be defined and
what partial defences which would reduce the offence to manslaughter
should be recognised by the law, though the Law Commission did acknowledge
that there should be "a limited review of the law on involuntary
manslaughter". The Coroners and Justice Bill currently being
debated in the House of Lords would amend the law on provocation
and (to a lesser extent) diminished responsibility, but consideration
of offences at the bottom end of the spectrum is deafening by its
silence. The government has said nothing on the subject since its
brief paper in 2000, (Reforming the Law on Involuntary Manslaughter:
The Government's Proposals, London: TSO) and it is understood
there are no plans to review any other parts of the homicide law.
The problem of the one-punch killer
One of the criticisms the writer and others have of the current
law is that it makes it too easy for a person to be convicted of
manslaughter, essentially because the law pitches the minimum level
of culpability too low. A typical example of this is what's often
called a one-punch manslaughter. A punches B once in the face. B
stumbles over a crease in the carpet on which he was standing, hits
his head against the wall, fracturing his skull and he dies. A is
guilty of manslaughter by an unlawful and dangerous act. Such cases
are not unduly rare – the writer has just completed a survey
of 127 manslaughter cases since 1995 and there were at least two
cases where the only violence consisted of a single punch, (as well
as a small group of other cases where the fatal assault was a punch
to the head or face). Whilst there's no doubt that A should not
have punched B in the face, B's death was extremely unlikely - no-one
would expect B to suffer anything more than a bruise or slight cut.
No serious injury is foreseeable, let alone death. The element of
luck is so great that many criminal lawyers are unhappy about holding
A criminally liable and punishing him for killing B. A does not
deserve to be treated as a manslayer.
favour of the present position, it is said that we cannot entirely
control the outcome of our actions and thus must recognise the possibility
that something unexpected might occur. The fact that A threw a punch
means he effectively crossed a moral threshold and cannot complain
when he is held criminally liable for the consequences. Moreover,
whilst we would not normally expect a single punch to result in
the victim's death, we are subconsciously aware that the unexpected
does occasionally happen. On the other hand, the main argument against
the existing law is that although a moral threshold was crossed,
there is still the problem of the significant gap between what was
foreseen or foreseeable (namely some relatively minor injury), and
what the puncher is held liable for (namely causing death). Furthermore,
there is the quite separate argument against the current law, that
the offence of involuntary manslaughter is being stretched too far.
At the upper end of the spectrum there are those who only just avoid
a murder conviction – cases such as Hyam, where the defendant
set fire to a house knowing that death or serious harm to any occupants
was highly probable, would now be treated as examples of reckless
manslaughter. Is it really justifiable to treat one-punch killers
as guilty of precisely the same offence? The reckless manslayer
displays a far higher level of moral blame for killing his victim.
Of course, the sentence for the one-punch killer will be more lenient,
but that misses the point: he should not be formally and publically
labelled in the same way.
the precise circumstances of a homicide will vary from one case
to another, and some activities are inherently much more dangerous
than others. Compare, for example, driving – which is invariably
a potentially fatal activity – with punching someone in the
face. Even one-punch cases will differ from one another in this
respect. The precise degree of risk – the degree of dangerousness
– will fluctuate from one instance to the next. It may be
possible for experts to provide an arithmetical calculation of the
likelihood that in a given set of circumstances someone would die,
but it would be profoundly unsatisfactory to identify a particular
statistical probability as representing the boundary between what
was and was not legally acceptable. Any such figure would be wholly
arbitrary and thus indefensible. In deciding whether a defendant
should be criminally liable for killing another, we should look
at the nature of the risk created by what the defendant did and
the victim's death. Only if the gap between the two is sufficiently
close might liability be merited.
Being What should be the bottom line for manslaughter?
In deciding how close it should be, one of our most eminent criminal
lawyers, Professor Andrew Ashworth (Oxford University), recently
argued that the defendant should, as a minimum, be aware of the
risk of causing serious harm, albeit not necessarily fatal harm,
(see "'Manslaughter': Generic or Nominate Offences?",
in C.M.V.Clarkson and Sally Cunningham (eds) Criminal Liability
for Non-aggressive Death (2008) Aldershot: Ashgate, chapter 11).
That would create a symmetry between murder and manslaughter –
murder only requires an intent to cause (non-fatal) serious injury,
and it seems that will still be true after the government has completed
its review of the homicide law.
Professor Ashworth's suggestion would also recognise that
we do not have complete control over the outcomes of our actions,
that there is almost inevitably an element of luck as to the precise
consequences of what we do, as well as bringing a sense of proportion
between the risk and the ultimate outcome for which the defendant
is held liable. But the gap between what was foreseen or foreseeable
and the victim's death would obviously be reduced. Clearly,
many one-punch killers would not foresee a risk of serious harm,
some might. Consider a very sober defendant and very inebriated
victim. The defendant throws a single forceful punch at the victim
who is overtly unsteady on his feet and off balance. The victim
falls heavily backwards, cracking his head against a brick wall,
fracturing his skull, and he dies shortly afterwards. In those circumstances
it would not be reasonable for a jury to infer that the defendant
knew that the victim might be seriously injured. The chances of
causing serious harm might not be that high, but the defendant might
be aware, at least subconsciously, of the risk nonetheless.
Irish Solution
a relatively recent report, the Irish Law Reform Commission shared
the writer's reluctance to treat all one-punch killers as
manslayers and suggested a new crime be created for these cases
called "assault causing death"; (see Irish Law Reform
Commission, Homicide: Murder and Involuntary Manslaughter, [ LRC
87 – 2008] at para 5.39). Whilst accepting that the puncher
should not have thrown the punch in the first place, the Commission
was concerned that ordinary people would not want to put him in
the same category as other, more deserving, manslayers. In this
respect the Commission were supported by a small-scale study the
writer conducted in this country about ten years ago; (see "Further
Evidence of the Relationship Between Legal and Public Opinion on
the Law of Homicide" [2000] Criminal Law Review 814 at 819,
820). At the same time the Commission thought that people would
want the fact that someone had been killed to be reflected in the
offence. Substituting a conviction for assault causing death would
obviously separate out the one-punch killers from more serious cases,
and structuring the new offence in this way would show much more
accurately and precisely what the defendant had done – he
assaulted his victim and as a result the victim died. The label
"manslaughter", on the other hand, wraps up the criminality
in a single word, merging the defendant's act with the ultimate
consequence and that fails to reflect the true limitations of the
defendant's moral culpability.
A final suggestion
In the writer's view this proposal is a step in the right
direction, but it is unnecessarily and unjustifiably narrow. Some
academics have argued that it is right to convict one-punch killers
of manslaughter because the punch is of the same family of wrongs
as causing death, namely they are both crimes against the person.
But whilst that is true, its significance is purely descriptive:
there is no significance in the similarity of a punch and causing
death to the defendant's moral culpability. The justification
for holding the defendant liable for killing the victim is that
he should not have thrown the punch because of the risks it created.
A defensible argument for holding the one-punch killer criminally
liable for killing must surely be founded on moral blameworthiness,
and not simply on an (albeit understandably) emotional reaction
to the fact that someone has been unlawfully killed. Throwing a
punch creates a risk – a risk which is likely to cause relatively
minor injury but one which, as we know, might in exceptional cases,
result in much more serious harm. But the point is that such a risk
might arise from other forms of seemingly minor wrongdoing; it is
not confined to minor assaults against the person. Thus, an act
of criminal damage such as throwing a stone at a window might create
the same kind and level of risk – recall the two teenage boys
who pushed a paving stone off the parapet of a bridge which struck
a train as it passed beneath and killed the guard (DPP –v-
Newbury and Jones [1977] AC 500). There is no material distinction
between throwing stones at windows (or trains) which result in death
and throwing a punch at a person, with the same outcome.
therefore, the prevailing wisdom is that it is right to convict
the one-punch killer of some sort of homicide offence (rather than
just the common assault which the single punch would normally constitute),
then it should be of committing "an unlawful and dangerous
act causing death". The adjective "dangerous"
here would mean that the defendant's act created a risk of
causing serious, though not necessarily fatal, injury. Conviction
should also depend on the defendant being aware of the risk when
he throws the punch. The gap between what was foreseen and the harm
for which the defendant is held criminally liable would be much
less than the law currently allows, but the moral basis and thus
the rationale for this offence would be

Mortgage Balance After Foreclosure and Sale of House
UPDATED: June 19, 2018
It's all about you. We want to help you make the right legal decisions.
We strive to help you make confident law decisions. Finding trusted and reliable legal advice should be easy. This doesn't influence our content. Our opinions are our own.
A mortgage is a debt of the borrower. And, the borrower is liable for the full amount borrowed according to the terms of the agreement. Upon signing the promissory note and mortgage, the homeowner pledges his house as collateral for the loan s/he promises to repay.
Collecting the Debt through Foreclosure
When a home is foreclosed on for defaulting on a mortgage, the bank or other lender takes possession and then sells it at a foreclosure sale to recover the balance of the borrower's loan. Foreclosure sales typically bring in less than at a normal house sale, even in a robust sellers' real estate market. After the home is sold, the proceeds, less certain costs, are applied against the amount remaining on the loan.
Additional Obligations of the Defaulting Borrower
It is not unusual for a home to be worth less than its mortgage, especially if little money was put down, so that the borrower had little equity in the house. When this is the case, once the proceeds of the mortgage sale are applied, there may be an outstanding balance on the loan. The loan may not have been paid off in full even though the house has been resold. In most states, the lender can then sue the borrower for this "deficiency", or the remaining balance. This is called pursuing a "deficiency judgment". The home may be the collateral for the mortgage, but the mortgage is an obligation of the borrower, the same as any other loan. The borrower is responsible for making sure that the loan is paid off.
There are a few states that do not allow deficiency judgments. Then, the lender's only recourse is to foreclose on the home. A few states allow deficiency judgments if the lender forecloses using the full judicial procedure, rather than a more streamlined summary or administrative process. However, subject to those few exceptions, if a home is foreclosed upon with a balance remaining on the loan after application of the foreclosure sale proceeds, the lender can sue the borrower for that remaining balance. It is therefore vital to check the laws of your state, to learn about your rights after foreclosure.

X-Change foil Bib made with Classic Nickel lame material which is more durable and resistant to sweat than the lightweight version and is also machine washable.
*This bib is not compatible with any of our X-change Sabre masks.
To fit a new bib simply peel the VELCRO® brand retainers from the inside of the mask frame. The bib then slides out of the aluminium channel and can be replaced with a new one. The easiest way to slide a bib out is to hold the mask between your knees while sat down and slide from one side to the other. Be sure when you are putting the new bib in that the white part or lame part of the bib is inserted into the mask shell, not the black part. Ensure that the retaining tabs on the new bib are pulled tight before use.
Please note when ordering replacements we need to know the size as marked on the existing bib not the size of the mask. The bib size is written on a small tab on the inside of the bib and ranges from 1 - 4.

Why does Northeastern University have an Audit & Advisory Services department?
University management is responsible for establishing and maintaining a system of internal controls. Audit & Advisory Services assists both management and the Board of Trustees, specifically the Audit & Risk Committee, in fulfilling their responsibilities by bringing a systematic disciplined approach to assessing the effectiveness of the design and execution of the system of internal controls and risk management processes. Audit & Advisory Services provides an objective assessment of internal controls. This provides University management, the Audit & Risk Committee, and external stakeholders with independent assurance that the University's risks have been appropriately mitigated. Because internal auditors are experts in understanding organizational risks and internal controls available to mitigate these risks, they assist University management in understanding these topics and provide recommendations for improvements.Why was my department selected?
Audit & Advisory Services chooses which departments to audit by using a risk-based approach. Some factors that are used to determine which departments to review include:What is the key difference of external audit compared to internal audit?
- Time and results of the last audit
- Complexity of the department
- Volume of financial transactions
- Degree of change or stability in the department
- Federal & state regulations related to the department
- Management concerns
- Key IT applications and interfaces
Internal and external auditors have mutual interests regarding the effectiveness of internal controls. However, major differences exist with regard to their relationships to the organization, and to their scope of work, and objectives. Internal auditors are part of the University. Their objectives are determined by professional standards, the Audit & Risk Committee, and University management. Audit & Advisory Services' clients are University management and the Audit & Risk Committee. External auditors are not part of the University but are engaged by the University to provide an independent opinion on the organization's financial statements, annually.What are internal auditors looking for?
Audit & Advisory Services meets with the external auditors periodically to discuss common interests and gain an understanding of each other's scope of work and methods. We also discuss audit coverage and scheduling to minimize redundancies, provide access to reports, programs and working papers, and jointly assess areas of risk.
Internal auditors focus on compliance with policies and the proper deployment of internal controls. Complying with these policies helps protect the University from unnecessary risks and ensure business practices adhere to University policies.What can I expect during an audit?
Prior to the audit beginning, you will receive an audit announcement memo that lists the audit objectives and scope. The next step is an entrance meeting in which Audit & Advisory Services will review what to expect, and how much time will be needed to complete the audit. Following the entrance meeting, the audit team will set up appointments to meet with key personnel. These interviews with key personnel help us obtain a better understanding of processes and procedures in place in your department. Once these interviews are finished, the audit team will perform testing on the processes to ensure that controls and safeguards are in place. The results of the testing will be communicated to the key personnel involved, followed by a written report that will be sent out to all parties involved and presented to the Audit & Risk Committee.How can I prepare for the audit?
Departments under review should ensure that staff is familiar with University policies and procedures. Audit management will meet with you before the audit begins to review expectations.How can I provide feedback to the auditors?
A post-audit survey is provided. To access this survey, please click here.

Opinion: Its Time For A "Better Image Campaign"
Opinion Editorial written by Jason J. Baker — Its been a tough summer dear friends and readers. I've enjoyed a long and warm summer fairly absent from the aviation journalism world, which I once loved and cherished. Thanks to Wipaire's killed sponsorship the decision to stop trying to travel to events at my own dime came as a logical reaction. Having to scale down my efforts was another – I have a family to feed. A few thousand dollars for event related travel are really mission impossible, just to entertain my fellow seaplane nuts with a daily news article. Not getting much meaningful financial support from those we try to promote makes for feeling less responsible for belly-flopping the very last daily news-source our industry didn't seem to want and could not deal with. I'm not dead yet, though…
Being Cool And Facebook Likes Are Not Enough
2019 has been a very frustrating year for this magazine, but more so because of a number of accidents and incidents, which have lastingly damaged our industry in terms of how the public perceives us. Seaplane accidents have morphed into a weekly topic in the nightly news. We're smack in the focus and morphing closer to being classified as an extremely dangerous activity. Even from within the aviation news circus, our industry experiences highly questionable coverage, from rather repugnant people who claim to be general aviation's last standing bastion of common sense. The overbearing sentiment remains: For Joe Common off the street, we are Aliens from a different world with our flying things. How we position ourselves in public, influences those who have never heard of Bernoulli and in influences them in no positive way, friends.
Countless Examples For Increasing Alienation
WXYZ Detroit, interviewed and quoted an individual named Tristan Crimmins on the latest "Seaplane Crashes Into Boat" article. We should take a moment to pause and try to explain what may have gotten us into this situation. Then I'd suggest taking another minute or two, to compile a list of 5 Bullet-points, which in your opinion need to happen, so that coverage like this becomes a part of our dark past, preferably BEFORE our activity gets prohibited:
As a boater, Crimmins said low flying seaplanes are often a concern on Upper Straits Lake. He said in the past he's even been nervous towing people behind the boat. "I don't know if they're trying to impress people, I don't know what they're doing. But when they're touching down and trying to cause some kind of cool show, it's all fun and games until something like that happens," he said.
We're Shredding Our Own Defense Arguments
I was once young and gullible, otherwise I would have never joined certain associations as a volunteer and stayed on my own. For nearly a decade, many others and myself have preached from the rooftops that accidents with boats are basically non-existent. I referred to Lake Hood, I referred to the folks up in Washington or Canada who fly in between boats and yachts without ever causing a single issue. Even here in Europe (at least those 2-3 people who care enough to still try to open water for seaplanes) argue in defense of seaplanes, because seaplanes don't kill Orcas or breaching whales and most certainly, we don't smack Jet-ski drivers off their vehicles or behead snorkeling little children. Last but not least, we don't EVER slam into boats! Never!!! Only hilariously stupid people would ever think that such a thing could even happen! Then came 2019.
We Need To Rethink Training & Certification Processes
There, I wrote it! My public stoning will take place on 8/27/2019 at 11AM right behind the church in my hometown. Stop asking for directions, find out how to get here yourself. I will not take this statement down, I will not apologize to the hundreds of seaplane instructors and examiners who honestly fight tooth to nail everyday to produce the best possible seaplane pilots out there and I will not justify my statement to the countless accident free seaplane pilots who try their dearest to lead by example with everything they do. Why not? Because exactly these people won't be offended by what I write and frankly, I don't give a hoot about those who will.
Its not OK to tell Joe Blow off the street that one can learn to fly in two weeks in perfect weather and then go out and pretend to be Gods gift to aviation. Its not OK to skip parts of the training curriculum or pencil-whip tasks from the Practical Test Standards. Its not OK to force examiners with decades of experience to refrain from digging deeper during an oral or practical test – if just to send the applicant home for some further refinement.
Its not OK to give examiners and flight instructors NO USEFUL TOOLS to prevent certain character flaws from entering the cockpit. Its not OK to dumb this activity down to the lowest common denominator and expect decreasing accident numbers. Its not OK to remain silent and its definitely not OK to try and be popular by pretending that the industry isn't in dire straits. We've got a truckload of problems to fix and mark these words:
NONE of them will be fixed on Facebook or by pushing a mindless Like button!
We Need Young Aviators & Newcomers
Our tiny industry branch – like the rest of General Aviation – isn't immune to what is regarded as the pilot shortage. Sure, there will always be millionaires and billionaires who are looking for the next check-mark on their pilot-hero resume and there will be the 6 hour seaplane courses that can be attained during a sunny weekend in crazy southern states. I believe we need to differentiate between the one hit wonders and the long distance runners and make sure the hot air-bags stay away as far as possible from airplane ownership and seaplanes in general.
Manufacturers need to put much more emphasis on teaching to higher standards and requiring a minimum of flight time under supervision prior to selling an aircraft to any individual. We know from experience that 10.000 hour pilots are just as prone to have mishaps and accidents, the only thing differentiating the two groups is the hair-color. We do not need young aviators and newcomers at all cost, folks! Our activity takes money, effort, skill, money, some more money, money and hopefully some judgement and experience. We need calm, organized, levelheaded, reasonable people, who don't view aircraft and especially seaplanes as an ego or penis- extension.
We can elect to raise the bar, or watch it being put out of reach by angry citizens like the one quoted above. We also need a more effective representation on the regulatory and advocacy front. A luxury magazine subscription from the Sunshine State with a fancy decal isn't going to rock it!
Scientific Research Isn't Required For Conclusions
- Lets pretend that a weight and balance is mandatory prior to flight…
- Lets pretend that using a checklist is required for safe aircraft operation…
- Lets pretend that gear down accidents are completely and entirely preventable…
- Lets pretend that running out of fuel is inexcusable in today's day and age…
- Lets pretend that saying NO to certain conditions and weather is very simple and easy…
- Lets pretend that aeronautical decision making (ADM) is a teachable subject…
- Lets pretend that the whole industry suffers from each and every accident, everywhere…
- Last but not least – lets pretend that saying no takes a second, being dead takes a lifetime!
Disclaimer: How does one write an article like this, without dinging people who have had accidents they feel sorry and sad for? Short answer: I can't. If you can, write it! As a "journalistic writer" I am held to a standard of remaining unbiased in my normal news coverage and writings. But I care for the industry that has occupied my life since 2008 and I think that writing open and honest words, while inconvenient, may resonate with a few who haven't enslaved completely to the beauty of a 2 second look & like on Facebook.
None Of This Is A Fresh Or New Problem
We have problems and our industry reacts the way it has always reacted to its problems. We try to silence inconvenient subjects away, we try to sit problems out and weather storms by sitting on our hands, while letting uninvolved and rather incompetent people rule. We are completely alienated from those we ask to tolerate our activity and we have a invisible, shameless, nasty and low integrity enemy in each and every writer-ling journalist, looking for that next click-bait news article. By and large, I believe we need a international Image campaign and we need to return to our roots in how we train and certify pilots.
Most importantly, we need to get our rear ends out of the hot spotlight of the nightly news. We need to do this YESTERDAY! The consequences of 2019 will not be visible in 2020 or even 2021, even smart citizens need time to process and put the tools against us into their sheds. May god help us when that's done and the very tools and arguments we handed them, will be used against us.
I may be done and just another retired- from- aviation- burned-out dinosaur, unaffected by all of this by then, but chances are, this website will still be around, with this damn "told you so" article in it. When will we act, if not now… and who will act, if not us? Read, think, mull, huff or puff – or do what most others do – leave a useless like on our Facebook page without even reading the article. Please don't write me any insulting emails, do it out in the open and leave a comment here. – It just is what it is and shooting the messenger won't do a thing.

Enjoy a walk through the flowers, meet the friendly farm animals, play a garden game, unwind over a cup of herbal tea, then indulge in lavender ice-creams.
Hook is a great family activity. Catch your very own Chinook salmon from the spring-fed fishing lakes then relax while they prepare it for you. Meanwhile the kids can feed the fish, explore the beautiful grounds, play a lawn game or hang out in the sand pit.
Entertaining the kids is easy in Wanaka. A visit to Puzzling World, the National Transport & Toy Museum, Crossfire, Base Camp Wanaka, Warbirds & Wheels and Realm Virtual Reality Centre will keep them busy and entertained for days. Sit back, relax and let them explore or better yet join in the fun .

Wanaka - New Zealand - South Island Чем занять карапузов на отдыхе в Ванаке?
Whether it's to skate, bike or play a visit to a park in a must. The Wanaka Dinosaur Park has been entertaining kids of all ages for years and the nearby skate park is also a great place to visit. Lismore Jump Park and Sticky Forest are also great places to take the mountain bikers in the family to ride the tracks and improve their skills.
In the middle of Lake Wanaka is Mou Waho Island - a predator free island that's home to the native Buff Weka. Wally and Sally have been on the island for over 10 years and love meeting new people. Take a guided tour or catch a boat and explore yourself to introduce the kids to a real character or two. To keep Wally and Sally healthy please do not feed them!

Just an hour scenic drive from Wanaka, New Zealand is the beautiful World Heritage area of Mt. Aspiring National Park and within the park is Rob Roy Glacier. We drove through livestock crossings and several creeks to get to this hiking trail, which took you from a swing bridge to rain forest, pristine rivers, waterfalls and tumbling glacial icefalls, to alpine herb fields and Keas. Rob Roy's Glacier hike is an easy fun trek. . . . #crossfitter #paddler #wanderlust #travel #traveler #NewZealand #robroyglacier #glacier #hike #nature #hyletenation #fun #rocks #streams
In summer there's plenty of great spots to take them for swim. Roy's Bay in the middle of town has the diving pontoon and the wharf - both of which are favourites with the local kids. Bremner Bay is shallow, safe and warm for the littlies, while for a challenge try the Blue Pools. The Wanaka Pool is open all year and a great option as well.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability to get and maintain normal penile erection. Another name for ED is impotence, but impotence means more than erectile dysfunction and is starting to replaced by the more appropriate term (Impotentia is a Latin word that mean inability; there are several different forms of inability related to reproduction i.e. the inability to get pregnant). ED is very common, for instance in the Massachusetts Male Aging Study, an ongoing survey of 1,709 men over 40; more than half the participants (52 percent) report at least some erection difficulty.
Ed can have two causes, physical and psychological. Psychological factors are responsible for 10%-20% of all cases of ED. Stress, depression, anxiety, low self esteem, indifference to life and guilt are situations that can effect a man's sexual well being.
Physical causes of ED can range from cardiovascular disease, diabetes and other endocrine disorders, medications and neurological disorders such as stroke and multiple sclerosis. Cardiovascular disease as a cause is most common and is usually associated with atherosclerosis and high blood pressure.
Primary ED a condition where a man has never had the ability to maintain or sustain erections. Secondary ED is much more common, and occurs when a man has had the ability to have erectionsin the past but experiences a problem later in life.
Diagnosis is usually from a detailed history given to a health care practitioner. Duplex ultrasound may be used to evaluate blood flow, venous leak, signs of artherosclerosis, and scarring or calcification of erectile tissue. Penile nerves function tests such as the bulbocavernosus reflex test are used to determine if there is sufficient nerve sensation in the penis. The physician squeezes the glans (head) of the penis, which immediately causes the anus to contract if nerve function is normal. A physician measures the latency between squeeze and contraction by observing the anal sphincter or by feeling it with a gloved finger inserted past the anus. Specific nerve tests are used in patients with suspected nerve damage as a result of diabetes or nerve disease. Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT) is testing done while the man is asleep; it is normal for a man to have five to six erections during sleep, especially during rapid eye movement (REM). Their absence may indicate a problem with nerve function or blood supply in the penis.
Conventional Therapies
Oral medications used to treat erectile dysfunction include selective enzyme inhibitors that increase the amount of nitric oxide, which dilates the blood vessels e.g. sildenafil (Tradename – Viagra), vardenafil HCl (Tradename- Levitra) and tadalafil (Tradename- Cialis). Selective enzyme inhibitors are available by prescription and may be taken up to once a day to treat ED. They improve partial erection. There have been problems associated with the use of these drugs, eye problems leading to blindness and sudden death. The cannot be taken concurrently with medications for heart disease.
Vacuum Devices
Vacuum devices (commonly known as "Swedish Pumps") work best in men who are able to achieve partial erections on their own. They are easy to use at home, require no other procedure, and typically improve erections regardless of the cause of impotence. Some men experience a numbing feeling afterwards. Since the penis is flaccid between the ring and the body, the erection may be somewhat floppy. Vacuum devices work by manually creating an erection.
Penile Implants
Surgery usually has one of three goals: to implant a device that can cause the penis to become erect; to reconstruct arteries to increase flow of blood to the penis; to block off veins that allow blood to leak from the penile tissues. Implanted devices, known as prostheses, can restore erection in many men with ED.
Men who smoke have been shown to have an increased incidence of ED. In a study of obese men with erectile dysfunction, a two-year lifestyle program consisting of a low-calorie diet plus regular exercise resulted in a significant improvement in erectile function, which became normal in 31% of the participants.
Dilation of blood vessels necessary for a normal erection depends on a substance called nitric oxide, and nitric oxide formation depends on arginine. Arginine supplementation has been found to be particularly effective at improving ED in men with abnormal nitric oxide metabolism.
Dose: 1-3 grams a day
Panax Ginseng
Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng) has traditionally been used as a supportive herb for male potency.
Dose: 1-2 g a day or 100 mg of the standardized extract (standardized to 4% total ginsenosides) twice a day.
Ginkgo Biloba
Gingko can help ED by improving blood flow to the penis.
Dose: 240 mg twice a day
Butea superba
Butea is a Thai plant that has been used traditionally to increase sexual vigor.
Dose: 500-1000 mg a day
Tribulus terrestris
Extracts of Tribulus contain the constituent protodioscin have been studied for sexual effects. Tribulus is thought to stimulate the conversion of testoseterone, and possesses aphrodisiac activity.
Dose: 500 – 750 mg of the standardized extract

Feeling overwhelmed at uni is something normal. Becoming a student is something radically different from anything that you've ever experienced and it is hard to go through this alone. Financially, this is a tough period in every person's life, so it is essential to take advantage of all the opportunities available.
Scholarships, student grants and bursaries can a real help for many students, but in many cases, they are not appropriately informed and do not even know the differences between these three. In this article, we will teach everything you need to know.
What are grants, bursaries and scholarships and do you need to pay back for them?
A Bursary will be awarded based on financial needs, and it does not take other aspects into account. Therefore, if you have a poor financial situation, you might be eligible for a bursary. You should know that bursaries don't have to be paid back. Sadly, not all applicants receive a bursary because their number is too big, so it is usually a first-come-first-serve policy.
If you have an excellent academic performance you might receive a scholarship. For this you, you might need good grades or you should excel in different areas.If you are wondering whether you have to pay a scholarship back, you should know that things vary. When you research University rankings it is also recommended that you take a look at what kind of scholarships each University offers. Some of them work like a contract and you might have to work for the organization that had funded the scholarship.
A grant can be considered some combination of bursaries and scholarships since it is awarded for both financial hardship and good academic performance. Grants don't usually have to be paid back.
Other types of grants
There are other kinds of grants as well. For example, an SSG is a Special Support Grant that is available for people with certain hardships. You can be eligible for an SSG if you have a disability if you can claim a housing benefit or income support, if your spouse or parent is at university or if you are a single parent.
You will get the same money that you would get for your Maintenance Loan, but there will be no limits, which is a big advantage.
A Travel Grant will allow you to travel and it is usually used by students who study abroad. You will need to meet one or more requirements, such as being in a full-time university course or traveling abroad to study as part of your course.
A Dependants' Grant is offered to persons who are financially responsible for other persons. The sum you receive depends on your household circumstances. It usually covers Parent's Learning Allowance (known as Lone Parent's Grant in Scotland), Adults Dependants' Grand and Childcare. Fir Childcare you should receive around £145-a-week if you have a child, Adults Dependants' Grant offers you around £2,700 per year and for Parent's Learning Allowance you should receive around £1,500 per year.

Following the recent news that the NHS are already predicting a system break-down this winter in its emergency services, surely isn't it time we re-thought the overall strategy we take about our health?
We are encouraged to only seek professional help once there are definite signs of illness. But for different people this can mean different things: People range from a small number known as 'heart sink' patients by doctors that do not have any physical pathology, but suffer from a range of issues from anxiety to loneliness that take up the majority of doctors time. At the other end of the spectrum there are people who remain in total denial of blatant health warning signals, until they have to dial 999.
So the net result of our state system , which is designed to manage sickness rather than enable better health, is unsatisfactory and stressful for doctors and patients alike.
Instead, how about a system that ensures life-long good health and well-being so that we never get to the stage of reaching a health crisis? This would put all of us in a better position to not even expect illness, be it chronic or acute. Surely this is what we really want for ourselves and our families?
Although the government has made moves towards sickness prevention by telling people how to live their lives through public health campaigns – but as the 5 a day campaign proved, has not been as effective in improving of overall public health as expected.
The homeopathic medical system offers a different approach: Practitioners welcome clients at whatever stage they feel that their physical or mental well-being is not as it should be in order to live the life that they wish. This is because it treats the person (so that they can overcome any disease state) and not the illness on its own. It is therefore not necessary to have a diagnosis in order to benefit from treatment, even though we always advise a diagnosis from the doctor if there are malignant symptoms.
Many people who have had homeopathic treatment report increased energy and generally more positive and inspired outlook in life. When our mind and body is in balance, we function in a more effortless way. But more importantly not only does constitutional treatment enable the body to overcome current illness, we are less likely to develop illness. This therefore ensures better health in the long-term and less anxiety about unexpected illness like a 'bolt out of the blue'.
My aim for the patients that I treat, is to EMPOWER them in their own health, so that they are their own expert, leading to less anxiety and less reliance on external services to achieve their maximum health potential.
One way that I achieve this is to inform the patient about their particular homeopathic 'constitutional type'. This is so they can understand their tendencies, issues and weak spots both emotionally and physically. Thus the patient is able to make the right choices to enhance their health and well-being. Remember: one-size does not fit all – you become your own expert, while other become theirs.
I believe anyone interested in health should consider this new paradigm:
To move away from a 'sickness industry', profiteering in long-term and/or expensive medication to 'manage' illness towards a wellness industry, that enhances the individual's health so that illness, chronic or acute is no longer prevalent.

High tax rates—on both labor income and consumption—reduce the incentive to work by making consumption more expensive relative to leisure, for example. The incentive to produce goods for the market is particularly depressed when tax revenue is returned to households either as government transfers or transfers-in-kind—such as public schooling, police and fire protection, food stamps, and health care—that substitute for private consumption.
In the 1950s, when European tax rates were low, many Western Europeans, including the French and the Germans, worked more hours per capita than did Americans. Over time, tax rates that affect earnings and consumption rose substantially in much of Western Europe. Over the decades, these have accounted for much of the nearly 30% decline in work hours in several European countries—to 1,000 hours per adult per year today from around 1,400 in the 1950s.
Changes in tax rates are also important in accounting for the increase in the number of hours worked in the Netherlands in the late 1980s, following the enactment of lower marginal income-tax rates.
In Japan, the tax rate on earnings and consumption is about the same as it is in the U.S., and the average Japanese worker in 2007 (the last nonrecession year) worked 1,363 hours—or about the same as the 1,336 worked by the average American.

Uncharted Territory
Uncharted Territory
"Uncharted Territory" is a perfect blend of pop energy and accessibility with jazz, and singer-songwriter sensibilities, bursting with melodic freshness. Featuring Siril's beautiful, clear and expressive voice, the songs balance commercial exuberance with intelligence, both musically and lyrically. Themes both weighty and feather-light are given the appropriate treatments and settings. The moods are many, with variations of light and shade, but a sense of positivity glistens from every song. The instrumentation is broadly that of a classic rock ensemble, with relaxed but skilful playing and an old-school vibe to the recording process that eliminates the digitally quantized dehumanizing aspects of so many releases this past number of years. Consequently, the resulting album is an organic musical entity, with every song, every phrase, and every note as alive as it should be.
The Musicians
Siril's band features some of the most exciting new musical talent in Norway today: Their playing is soulful, focussed and attentive, and a perfect antidote to corporate treadmill productions that are pumped out of the one-trick-pony machine that dominates the mainstream.
Martin Myhre Olsen - soprano, alto and baryton saxophone
Martin is a very talented composer and saxophone player without boundaries, who adapts to the music superbly both in front and in the background layers of the music.
Torgeir Hovden Standal - guitars
I love the sound in Torgeir's playing. As a guitarist he adds edge and thrill to the band with his starry tone and steady hand.
Kjetil Andre Mulelid - piano, organ
Kjetil is one of the most playful and curious musicians I know. As a singer, it feels like he tucks you in and lifts you up at the same time. Making space, and adds the right ingredients.
Martin Morland - bass
The highly requested and versatile bassplayer Martin has a unique knowledge on different genres. He is a constant source of ideas, and he sews together all the grooves in a irreplaceable way.
Henrik Lødøen - drums
A sought-after brilliant drummer, with a wide range of experience within different genres. With his playful, dynamic and intuitive playing, he lifts the band in a beautiful way.
The album was released 1st of February 2019 on Jazzland Recordings.
Recorded in Athletic Sound Studios, with sound engineer Dag Erik Johansen.

I love LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a great place to be a voice. And to also connect with people you in a similar industry to yourself. For many of us, LinkedIn is used as a way to search for jobs and connect. But for businesses, it can go beyond this, with the use of something like Linkedin Integration, by targeting the right audiences for their products and content. There is so much more to this platform than we think. Today I'm going to write about one of the many ways you can begin to establish your online presence through LinkedIn Groups. When I discovered people were watching me on LinkedIn, I honestly had no idea. I was just doing what I do, i.e., helping people. After all, I am a Career Coach. And, I do participate in Groups on LinkedIn with other professionals related to Career Coaching.
Typically, I would simply answer a question by commenting for one of my teammates or Group members. I didn't realize I was creating an online presence until people started contacting me and telling me they knew who I was from my online presence on LinkedIn.
Here are a few pointers just to begin your LinkedIn online presence:
1. Join a Group
2. Write a Comment or ask a question in the Group
3. Create a Group
Join a Group. To find LinkedIn Groups, go to the top right corner of the menu bar. Click on the arrow next to the hourglass in the search key. You'll see options to search for People, Companies, Groups and more. Click on Groups. Select a Group of interest to you. For example, Charlotte Job Help is a great Group to join, if you're a job seeker in Charlotte North Carolina. As a Career Coach from the Outplacement industry I joined Outplacement Professionals Network, and many more Groups related to my profession as a coach, trainer and resume writer.
Write a Comment or Ask a Question. This will encourage you to jump in and ask a question or discuss a comment. Here's how you can develop your online presence. For example, when you ask a question to begin a discussion in a LinkedIn Group that creates the highest number of members commenting on your question, suddenly you will find yourself …
Create a Group. You can also Create a Group on LinkedIn. Why? There are many great reasons. Here's one example. Let's say you're working for a company experiencing a planned or unplanned major expansion. You can create a LinkedIn Group as a forum for the employees to quickly have answers to questions 24/7 by and for the members of the LinkedIn group. Why? To share information for the organization or for specific groups within the organization.
To create a group, click on Groups in the right center of the menu bar. Then click on Create a Group, fill out the form options and select Create an Open Group or Members only Group.
In closing, I hope this blog has challenged you to take the next step and dig a little deeper into LinkedIn. Are you the entrepreneur wanting to start a business, or a business owner with the desire to transition to the corporate world? Or, maybe you are a job seeker or know a job seeker going through career transition. If you answered "Yes" to any one of these situations, I can help you. You'll find my blogs written on the topics of resumes, interviewing, social networking, negotiating and many other related business subjects to help you through career transition and throughout your career. You can reach me on LinkedIn, call 970-672-8476 or email me at email@example.com. Until next time. Remember to be inspired and be an inspiration to others.

Discussion in 'All Discussions' started by metard, Jan 19, 2018.
Chubs?? That you?
Shiver me timbers!! Arrrgghhh!! You must be Captain Hook!!!
I was at a underwater science facility working on genetically engineered sharks when one of them broke loose and started killing everyone. Then LL Cool J showed up and killed the shark by exploding it with electricity. It was nuts man.
^^Pffht, that's nothing. I once went up into space with some other dudes and a chick. We crash landed on what we thought was a far away planet. A planet populated by intelligent simians!!!! They killed all my buddies. (The girl we were all supposed to bang died in the crash) I eluded them into the desert only to discover that I had returned to earth in the distant future. I found the Statue of Liberty half-buried in the sand! It was horrible man.
Well, one good thing came from it. I found a hot scantily clad native human who can't talk. I get to have all the sex and no back talk or nagging.
I was starting to believe you until this!
She was hot dude. Got my young loins all aflutter.
Back to reality... Went on a float down the Dan River on the NC VA border. Had a bald eagle do a fly over about 50 feet above us. Also saw a huge flock of nesting blue herons. I always thought they would be ground nesters. There were about 15 mating pairs up in this huge beach tree. It was like watching a flock of pterodactyls... And I know this because I have a time machine and once went back to the Triassic Period.
You did not specify male or female........makes one wonder?
Dude if you like Bald Eagles you'd love this place, they're almost like seagulls out here lol
I was walking up to the beach to scope out the situation at first light. Saw a dolphin bust an air whilst riding a wave.
Pretty cool
You stumbled upon a Rookery my friend. Found a video of some suburban white folks from the 90's that will teach you all about them.
Ever ride a wave and have an entire pod of dolphins join you on the wave, essentially dropping in on you and then you ride behind them down the line? Happened to me once at Ponce Inlet one beautiful Spring morning.
That happened to me once when a kid living in PR, at Stop 8 in the San Juan area.
Is that La Ocho or whatever? I never made it to that side of the island in my 4 trips to Rincon.
Cat returned inside late one night last week, talking up a storm more than usual. Should have done more than say "Hello", but was preoccupied watching the Bali comp. Woke up the next morning to find a de-tailed mouse at the entrance to the bathroom, as my gift. Half asleep, almost stepped on it. Blood everywhere on the floor. Adept huntress fetched another one over the weekend, bringing it inside. Left the tail on that one. Dog managed a baby squirrel in May, partially decapitating it. Nothing strange, happens every spring. No need for costly pest control service around here, like all the neighbors. Keep telling them they should have acquired wild rural pets, as opposed to domesticated milled ones. Doves must have become wise, no kills this year.
Yup, that is La Ocho...those numbers, La Cinco, La Dos, La Ocho, are all bus stop numbers going INTO San Juan along the cliffs.,, on the Ponce de Leon Avenue. Surfed La Ocho and La Cinco millions of times; great places when it is 10-12 ft faces!!!
Right on, I was scoping the area out before my first ever trip to PR and considered going there but ended up going with Rincon instead and fell in love with the area. As small as it may be.

When news broke on Aug. 23 that yet another unarmed Black man had been gunned down by police, there were plenty of highly upsetting details reported: Jacob Blake, 29, was shot in the back seven times at close range in Kenosha, Wis., leaving him partially paralyzed; he had first allegedly been punched and tased by law enforcement officials; and the incident was not recorded by police body cameras, which they do not wear there.
But perhaps the most disturbing bit of information was this: Blake's three sons, ages 3, 5 and 8, were sitting in the car that their father was leaning into as police officers shot him, bearing close-up witness to the violence against their father.
"His kids are his world. But not only that, his family is his world," Jacob's sister, Zietha Blake, said at a news conference about her brother's attack. "He's upset because we're hurt, we're upset. He doesn't even care about himself. He's more so worried about us."
the kids were in the car😔 #JusticeForJacob pic.twitter.com/Ju8H10cwwc— thugnifisent4short (@LijahKt) August 24, 2020
Members of the Evanston, Ill., church where Blake's grandfather was a pastor, Ebenezer AME, added, in a statement, that it was "disturbing that this action was taken without regard for his children that witnessed this egregious and callous action."
According to experts in trauma and child psychology, along with studies representing decades of research, Blake's young sons — like the nephew (then 8) of Atatiana Jefferson, the daughter (then 4) of Philando Castile's girlfriend, the sister (then 14) of Tamir Rice, and the many other children who have witnessed similar police violence against family members — will likely never be the same.
"Anytime that I hear about these incidents, it breaks my heart," Erlanger A. Turner, assistant professor of psychology at Pepperdine University, tells Yahoo Life. "My first reaction is 'These kids are going to be traumatized.'"
In some children, research shows, witnessing violence, which is a trauma, can increase the risk of depression, substance abuse and aggressive behavior — and even lead to adverse physical effects, such as heart disease, metabolic disease, immune disorders, stroke, increased aging and changes to brain development, which can follow a person over a lifetime.
"Exposure to adversity in childhood is a powerful predictor of health outcomes later in life — not only mental health outcomes like depression and anxiety but also physical health outcomes like cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer," wrote Katie McLaughlin, an associate professor of psychology at Harvard University and senior author of the latest study to look at such adverse effects of childhood trauma, published earlier this month in the journal Psychological Bulletin. "Our study suggests that experiencing violence can make the body age more quickly at a biological level, which may help to explain that connection."
Another recent study looked at how "systemic and daily experiences of racial discrimination may spill over into the family and affect close relationships, thereby contributing to worse health and well-being."
Says Turner, whose recent book is Mental Health Among African Americans, "Experiencing racism and witnessing violence can increase risk for poor mental health. Decades of psychological research has found that when children witness racism and repeated exposure to these types of events, it can lead to lower self-esteem, anxiety or symptoms of depression."
So, it stands to reason that when Black children witness acts of violence rooted in racism, particularly when it's directed at the people they love, the effects of the trauma are even further compounded.
"Obviously, it can be more severe growing up in a marginalized community," Aquilla Frederick, a psychotherapist with the Ackerman Institute for the Family in New York City, tells Yahoo Life. "If you're in a marginalized community, chances are you've been witnessing violence for a long time. And even infants can have a reaction to this kind of violence."
It's then even further complicated when the violence comes at the hands of law enforcement. "In most neighborhoods, the police are supposed to protect them," Frederick says of the children. "But in Black communities, this is not the case. Parents sometimes become overprotective of their children…because they know if their children go out, especially young black boys, they could get killed, they could get shot like Blake did." And that overprotectiveness and fear, she says, can prevent kids from engaging in normal development processes.
"It's pervasive in African-American communities. It's been going on since Jim Crow. The same kind of lynching is still happening," she says.
When she heard about Blake's children in the car, she says, just as when she'd heard about the many other children who have witnessed similar attacks, she thought "about the continuation of this — the continuous murdering of, especially, Black men of color, and how most of the time, especially in the past year or so, these murders have been witnessed by children. So, it's not a new phenomenon, if you think about the impact of children witnessing violence against a family member, or even a stranger." Nevertheless, she adds, "It's devastating."
Frederick, who founded and facilitates the Talk Race Project, as well as a COVID grief-sharing space for people of color, and who has worked in her private practice with children as young as 2, says that, at first, children who have witnessed violence can react in a variety of ways, depending on their age, the severity of the violence and whether or not it has happened repeatedly (such as with domestic violence).
She says "they can become afraid for their safety … and can display symptoms of posttraumatic stress disorder, where they become very fearful, they become numb, they can become agitated, they can have sleep disturbances, sometimes stop eating … [they can have] emotional regulation disorders, or go to school and can't perform."
Later in life, she adds, having witnessed this type of violence "can interrupt their ability to develop empathy … and what ends up happening if they don't get help earlier is they can … get into gangs, perpetrate violence on other people. There's been no process to help them to deal with these longstanding issues around witnessing violence, so there's a lot of anger, a lot of aggression, and if it doesn't get processed, it can lead to problems."
Caregivers' responses to the trauma and other factors are important in child outcomes
"How they cope with all this depends on how the parents or caregivers are able to handle their own loss and grieving," Frederick says, "because if the parents are not able to deal with their own loss in an effective way, then they can't be there for their children."
And while the support person doesn't have to be a parent but can be "someone they know they can go and talk to and feel protected," how a child fares depends largely, she says, "on the family systems' coping mechanisms and how they're able to help their children." Kids who have a support system already in place tend to get over the negative impact sooner than ones who don't, she says, but she adds that it "also depends on a child's resilience or natural abilities, on their intelligence, and how can they find ways to take care of themselves."
How to help children who have witnessed violence
In addition to providing them with a safe space in which to talk about and process what happened, Turner says, "You should monitor children's behaviors and emotions. If you notice extreme changes in mood or behavior, it is important to seek help from a trained child psychologist or mental health professional."
But that, says Frederick, is "very complicated" for many in the African-American community, due to "their experiences of discrimination when it comes to the mental health profession."
And it is why people in "African-American communities usually rely on each other for community support."
Other factors, she adds, include parents not believing in the concept of therapy, not being able to find a therapist of color to work with, and not believing that a child could be affected by violence to someone else "because they didn't see it, or they won't remember." But as Frederick knows from her private practice, "with children who are very young, if they witness violence in their home or on the streets, they may not be able to verbalize it, but the regulatory system reacts — they act out, they're aggressive. And when you try to engage the child in conversation as much as you can, they remember things that happened that really frightened them."
And so, she says, "we need more therapists of color who are trained to deal with these kinds of issues, or at least with families of color in general. And we need to be able to convince the parents to buy into this type of resource. It can be a challenge."
As for those who have grown up trying to process such traumas and who are now struggling as adults, Turner says, "It is important that you take care of your psychological health and take news breaks. You should not feel guilty for not watching the videos or stepping away from social media or even the news." Further, he says, "We also know that engaging in activism, such as peaceful protests, can also serve as a protective factor to reduce psychological stress — and it can be extremely helpful to process these emotions or trauma with a therapist."

I am wondering if other people have encountered our situation and, if so, how do you handle it?
We have a Dell Compellent SAN that was set up and configured in such a way that a separate LUN for each server was presented. All LUNS are presented to VMWare but the virtual server is set up to use it's own LUN. For example, we have 20 file servers (and growing). The admins presented VMware with 20; 2 TB LUNs and named them for the servers that would be using the storage. We have a dozen or so generalized storage areas for other servers. One project has a 20TB area carved out for some 30 servers they are using. We don't want to mix other production and development servers into that mix.
This really kills our ability to use VMTurbo's ability to move files across datastores since they are really a 1-1 thing. I would like to present a new structure plan so we can take advantage of the datastore optimizations that VMTurbo offers or figure out a way to configure VMTurbo so it knows what datastores are "available" that certain servers could be moved to.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Ideas?

RV Accidents
RVSEF data indicates that 51% of RVs exceed one or more safety ratings. Exceeding Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and/or Gross Axle Weight Rating can lead to suspension failures, handling problems, difficulty stopping, and tire failures. A large number of RVs are traveling down the road on overloaded tires that could fail at any time, with potentially catastrophic results. There are many safety measures that need to be taken by the RV owners to avoid fatal accidents.
Tires, like most manufactured products, are designed to operate within a specific load; we call this tire load rating. Each rating is accompanied by an inflation pressure that will give you the stated rating. This does not mean that this inflation pressure is correct for your motorhome. If you wish to achieve optimum life and performance from you tires, inflation pressure must be set based on the load being carried by the tire,
Every tire manufacturer publishes load/inflation tables for their products, which provides us with this critical information. Also, remember that the specified pressures are cold pressures; in other words, pressure in the tires before the tires start rolling down the road and heat becomes involved.
Understanding Motorhome Loads
The fact is that motorhomes are not built symmetrically. The RV should be loaded equally on both sides. Motorhomes are equipped with slide outs, generators, refrigerators, holding tanks, fuel and water tanks, and much more. The only way to properly weigh a motorhome to ensure that you are within your tire ratings is to weigh it by individual wheel position. Once you have done this, you can refer to the load/inflation table to determine the correct inflation pressure for your tires.
If the load on a tire is greater than the maximum rating shown on the sidewall, you must correct the situation. This can be done by reducing the load on the tire, either by unloading or redistributing the equipment in the coach, or by upgrading to tires with a higher load capacity.
Axle Loads
Expect to find a different load on each side of the axle. It's important that all tires on the same axle be inflated to the same pressure, based on the heavier side. If doing so results in an over inflated tire on the light side, correct the situation by balancing your coach. An over inflated tire has reduced "tire patch," or contact with the road, and may result in unsatisfactory braking, particularly on a wet road.
Dangers of Vehicle Overloading
When parking your RV for extended periods of time, it is important to make sure the vehicle is as level as possible — to avoid tire overload due to weight transfers apart from convenience and comfort. On RVs without built-in leveling devices, block the low wheel positions.
Extreme caution must be taken to ensure that the tires are fully supported when using blocks. The load on the tire must be evenly distributed on the block and, in the case of duals, evenly distributed on blocks for both tires. If this isn't done properly, tires can get damaged, leading to premature sidewall fatigue and ultimate tire failure.

- Ada is close to glamorous Ava, but has a different vibe. Pioneering mathematician Ada Lovelace is a worthy namesake, and the name is a cousin to the very popular Adeline/Adelaide names, too. Ada currently ranks Number 357, but was a Top 100 choice around the year 1900." >
- Mary or Margaret, it's also spelled May – as in the merry month. Screen legend Mae West was born Mary Jane. Today, Mae stands at Number 589, a rise of nearly 400 places since 2010." >
- Liv owes something to the popularity of Olivia, but it's more than a nickname. It's also a Scandi staple with Old Norse roots. In modern Scandinavian languages, Liv means life. Unheard in the US until the last few years, it currently stands at Number 720. Another imported mini name possibility? Luz, the Spanish word for light." >
- Noah is the top name for boys in the US. Noa isn't just a feminine form of the popular pick – it's a feminine name in the Bible, used for a daughter of Zelophehad. A long-time Number One name in Israel, Noa is now up to Number 762 in the US." >
- Anna is Frozen, Ana is español, and Anne is Green Gables. Three-letter Ann is as traditional and spare as Claire or Jane, but even shorter. As of 2015, Ann is the least popular of the Ann- names, but is gaining in use, up to Number 893. Fellow mini Ana is also on the rise, while the longer Anne and Anna have slipped." >
- Ezra and Asher are so popular, this name of an Old Testament king could be for you. It's more traditional than Ace, but less expected than Eli. Asa currently stands at Number 531." >
- Ali and Avi rank, too, but Ari is a particularly appealing choice. With separate roots in Hebrew and Norse, Ari could mean lion or eagle. It's also short for any Ari- name. Entourage's Ari Gold made the name widely familiar, and it is now up to Number 402 – a new high." >
- Max, of Where the Wild Things Are fame, has been huge. Jax followed Max, and now it is Dax's turn. We first met Dax as a character in The Adventurers, a 1970s bestseller by Harold Robbins. That's how actor Dax Shepard got his name. Dax currently ranks Number 549." >
- Bo was part-Bo Derek, part-Dukes of Hazzard. Now it's more popular than ever at Number 616. The only other two-letter name to rank is another mini name for boys: Ty." >
- Samuel, Joseph, and Benjamin, and name their sons just Sam, Joe, and Ben. Jon also ranks in the US Top 1000, but other options, like Tom, Dan, Cal, Gus, Ike, Rob, and Ned remain rare. Sam is at Number 554." >
- King and Messiah, are on the rise. Factor in the mini names trend, and it's no surprise we're meeting boys called Rex – the Latin word for king, and Rey, the Spanish equivalent. Rey is also the name of the (female) hero from the new Star Wars series. Rex ranks Number 682, and Rey, Number 903." >

I must be on board with the mini-name trend because I love a lot of these names! Especially, Ari, Ada, Ivy, Noa (for a girl and probably as a nickname for Magnolia), and Gus (nn for August). And we are planning on naming our baby boy due in the fall Cal. 🙂

Asa is my son's name, and while I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, I fall more in love with its, and his, sweet, handsome simplicity everyday. Ari, which like Asa is 100% boy to me, though lots of people like above commenter seem to see Ari or Asa and think girl, is another short boy name I LOVE and find so handsome. Would Asa and Ari be too close for brothers? I often wonder. Other short names I'm loving lately: Cal (sooooo cool to hear someone above is using this name!), Sid, Beau, and Gus.
