Dogecoin Foundation raises $30,000 to send sports team to Olympics
Posted By Jeff Belanger On January 21, 2014 @ 12:05 PM In World Wide Web | No Comments
The Dogecoin Foundation has raised over $30,000 in Dogecoins to help send a Jamaican, two-man bobsleigh team to the Olympics.
The Dogecoins have been raised to help Winston Watt and Marvin Dixon, who have just qualified for the 2014 Sochi Olympics on Saturday, cover their travel and equipment costs, which range around $40,000 USD.
"We need about $40,000 for travel and also to buy new runners for the sled because we can't go to an Olympics with only one set," Watts, who is the bobsleigh driver, said.
The two men first started a campaign of their own using PayPal, and news of it has quickly spread. Aside from the DogeCoin fundraising effort, there is a crowd-funding campaign taking place on Crowdtilt [2], which at this time has raised $54,736 USD. Their goal is $80,000 and they have 8 days left in their campaign.
You have to wonder if this will inspire another movie like Cool Runnings to be made.

A+Driver is a locally owned and operated company that specializes in providing pre-hire services of class A CDL drivers, to companies that have their own fleet. We do all pre-hire background checks; including previous employment verifications, MVR's, DAC'S, Criminal, & DOT pre-hire and random drug screens. We also have several things that make us different from other staffing services. Services including:
After 90 days of full time placement of one of our drivers, our customers have the ability to hire our drivers at zero additional cost.
This gives our customers 90 days to confirm the driver has the work ethic they require, without guessing if a driver might work out after the customer has spent time and money to research the driver applicant. Because we release our drivers at 90 days, we get a better quality of driver due to the fact that they know they will be working full time not on and off like other staffing companies work their causal drivers. Once the driver proves he or she has the work ethic the customer is looking for, the staffing company will not stand in either the customer's, or driver's way when it comes time for the customer to hire the driver directly.
If there is any damage caused by one of our drivers we do take partial responsibility for those damages.
This ensures our customer that we are not just sending someone we can bill them for. We are sending a driver that we have done our due diligence on, and the driver is a safe and competent driver that will get the job done safely and efficiently. Most other driver staffing companies have their clients sign a "hold harmless clause" that basically states: Any damage caused by any driver the staffing company places with the customer, is not the fault of the staffing company and they take no responsibility for the unsafe actions or their drivers. This ensures the customer that when they get a driver from these services, all these staffing companies are looking for is someone they can bill them for, not someone who will do the job safely.

Attribution Theory
Attribution theory (Weiner, 1980, 1992) is probably the most influential contemporary theory with implications for academic motivation. It incorporates behavior modification in the sense that it emphasizes the idea that learners are strongly motivated by the pleasant outcome of being able to feel good about themselves. It incorporates cognitive theory and self-efficacy theory in the sense that it emphasizes that learners' current self-perceptions will strongly influence the ways in which they will interpret the success or failure of their current efforts and hence their future tendency to perform these same behaviors.
According to attribution theory, the explanations that people tend to make to explain success or failure can be analyzed in terms of three sets of characteristics:
An important assumption of attribution theory is that people will interpret their environment in such a way as to maintain a positive self-image. That is, they will attribute their successes or failures to factors that will enable them to feel as good as possible about themselves. In general, this means that when learners succeed at an academic task, they are likely to want to attribute this success to their own efforts or abilities; but when they fail, they will want to attribute their failure to factors over which they have no control, such as bad teaching or bad luck.
The basic principle of attribution theory as it applies to motivation is that a person's own perceptions or attributions for success or failure determine the amount of effort the person will expend on that activity in the future.
There are four factors related to attribution theory that influence motivation in education: ability, task difficulty, effort, and luck. In terms of the characteristics discussed previously, these four factors can be analyzed in the following way:
- Ability is a relatively internal and stable factor over which the learner does not exercise much direct control.
- Task difficulty is an external and stable factor that is largely beyond the learner's control.
- Effort is an internal and unstable factor over which the learner can exercise a great deal of control.
- Luck is an external and unstable factor over which the learner exercises very little control.
Note that it is the learner's perception that determines how attributions will influence future effort. A learner may believe that he is a "lucky person" - and for him luck would be an internal and stable characteristic over which he exercises little control. In other words, for this person "luck" is really what the preceding list calls an "ability" or personality characteristic. Likewise, a person may believe that she expended a great deal of effort, when in fact she did not, or that an objectively easy task was difficult. The basic principle of attribution theory as it applies to motivation is that a person's own perceptions or attributions for success or failure determine the amount of effort the person will expend on that activity in the future.
Students will be most persistent at academic tasks under the following circumstances:
- if they attribute their academic successes to either:
- internal, unstable, factors over which they have control (e.g., effort) or
- internal, stable, factors over which they have little control but which may sometimes be disrupted by other factors (e.g., ability disrupted by occasional bad luck);
- if they attribute their failures to internal, unstable factors over which they have control (e.g., effort).
The following guidelines can be derived from the preceding statement:
- If we want students to persist at academic tasks, we should help them establish a sincere belief that they are competent and that occasional imperfections or failures are the result of some other factor (such as bad luck or a lack of sufficient effort) that need not be present on future occasions. (That is, ability attributions for success are likely to be beneficial, with the exception cited in the next guideline.)
- It is not beneficial for students to attribute their successes entirely to ability. If they think they already have all the ability they need, they may feel that additional effort is superfluous. The ideal attribution for success is, "I succeeded because I am a competent person and worked hard."
- When students fail, they are most likely to persist and eventually succeed if they attribute their failure to a lack of appropriate effort. Therefore, it is extremely important that when students perceive themselves as unsuccessful teachers help them develop the conviction that they can still succeed if they give it their best shot. (Note that it is important to define effort appropriately, as in guideline 5.)
- It is extremely hazardous to motivational health for students to fail repeatedly after making a serious effort at academic tasks. When this happens, they will either (a) stop believing they are competent, or (b) stop attributing their failure to lack of effort. Both of these outcomes are likely to reduce persistence at the academic tasks. It is important, therefore, to arrange tasks so that students who work hard are able to perceive themselves as successful.
- It is important to define effort correctly and for the learners to internalize an accurate concept of effort. In practical terms effort is most usefully defined as devoting effective academic learning time to the task. Just trying harder or spending more time doing ineffective activities does not constitute effort. It is extremely important to make this distinction. If we use another definition of effort, when we tell children that their failures are a result of a lack of effort, we run the risk of leading them to believe that they have an internal, stable characteristic called laziness, over which they have no control. This will reduce motivation.
- Another way to say this is that it is possible and desirable for students to believe that even though they have "worked hard," they have not yet put forth their best effort. If we can show students ways to improve their efforts - and there are almost always ways to channel their energies more effectively - then we can enable them to have an accurate perception that increased effort is likely to pay off.
- Excessively competitive grading and evaluation systems are likely to impair the learning of many students. Competition will encourage students to persist only to the extent that they believe additional effort will enable them to succeed within the competitive atmosphere. In many instances, success in competition is completely beyond the learner's control - no matter how hard a learner works, another more competent and equally energetic competitor is likely to win.
- It is useful to evaluate students at least partly (but not exclusively) on the basis of their effort. This does not mean that the weakest students in a class should receive the highest grades simply because they may spend more time trying to master the subject matter. Ideally, course assignments should be arranged so that diligent work actually leads to academic success, and the teacher's evaluation should help students see this connection.
- In general, it is best for students to believe that it is their own behavior rather than external circumstances that leads to success or failure. Researchers refer to this as having an internal locus of control. While it is good for students to have a realistic understanding of what's happening around them, research shows that the most successful students have a tendency to overestimate the degree to which their own behavior leads to success or failure (Lefcourt, 1976).
- When students have a conviction that they lack ability, it is necessary to take steps to circumvent or overcome this conviction. Such students are likely to repudiate successes. For example, when they do well, they are likely to have a sincere conviction that they were "just lucky." It is difficult to alter this conviction. Changing this conviction is tantamount to altering the learner's self-concept, and this cannot be accomplished in a short time. There are many approaches available to teachers, including the following:
- Find areas in which the learner perceives himself or herself as successful, and show connections between that area and the topic currently under consideration.
- Use guidelines discussed in chapter 8 to enhance the learner's self-concept.
- Focus heavily on effort as the factor critical to success.
While the teacher's long-range goal may be to enhance the child's self-concept, the immediate goal is to promote motivation with regard to the subject matter at hand.
- When students reject the value of effort, it is important to change their perception. This can be done by clarifying the meaning of effort and by seeing to it that effort does actually pay off. In addition, if students attribute their success to luck, it may be best to refrain from arguing with their attributions, while simply praising or otherwise reinforcing them for their effective use of academic learning time.
The preceding guidelines should enable teachers to use attribution theory to motivate students more effectively. In addition, it is possible simply to reinforce effort attributions (Schunk, 1982, 1983) and to conduct training programs designed to promote attributions that are likely to lead to higher levels of motivation and productivity (McCombs, 1984; Forsterling, 1985; Licht & Kistner, 1986; Zimmerman, 1989).
Attribution theory is an evolving field, and it is likely that further research will lead to additional practical insights regarding motivation. It is important to note that this discussion of attribution theory has barely scratched the surface. The following are some additional concepts related to attribution theory:
Learning goals are set by individuals who seek to increase their competence. People who emphasize learning goals are likely to seek challenges, if they believe the challenges will lead to greater competence; and they tend to respond to failure by increasing their effort (Elliott & Dweck, 1988; Dweck & Leggett, 1988; Dweck, 1989). It is good to encourage students to set and pursue learning goals rather than performance goals.
Performance goals, on the other hand, are set by individuals who seek to gain favorable judgments or to avoid unfavorable judgments in the eyes of others. People who emphasize performance goals are likely to avoid challenges unless they are certain they can succeed, and they tend to respond to failure with feelings of learned helplessness and self-handicapping (Elliott & Dweck, 1988; Dweck & Leggett, 1988; Dweck, 1989), which are discussed next. It is often undesirable to emphasize performance goals; but schools, parents, and society often overemphasize them to the detriment of learners.
Learned helplessness refers to the expectation, based on previous experience, that one's actions cannot possibly lead to success (Dweck, 1975, 1978). Performance goals are much more likely than learning goals to lead to ability rather than effort attributions and to result in feelings of learned helplessness. Heyman & Dweck (1992) recommend encouraging students to focus primarily on learning goals, while keeping performance goals in perspective by enjoying recognition without letting it become an overriding concern. Teachers can accomplish this by focusing on learning rather than normative comparisons when reinforcing students, by modeling the use of learning goals, and by using the scaffolding strategies described in chapter 12 to teach effect goal setting and self-monitoring.
Self-handicapping occurs when learners create impediments that make good performance less likely. Examples of impediments include drug and alcohol use, refusing to practice, reporting excessive symptoms, and reducing effort. These impediments may sound just plain foolish, but they are very real and actually serve to protect the person's sense of self-competence. If the self-handicapping person does poorly, his explanation for this failure lies in the impediment. If the person does well, his success is exalted, because he overcame the impediment. Since the impediments interfere with learning, they have the overall effect of reducing motivation and performance. Self-handicapping is likely to become prominent during adolescence. Since it occurs most often among persons with an overriding concern with their competence image, this problem can best be minimized by focusing on effort attributions and by helping learners develop secure feelings of self-efficacy (Riggs, 1992).
Self-handicapping may be imposed or at least supported by a learner's culture or subculture or by the atmosphere of the school. For example, adolescents may handicap themselves by reducing their effort because they feel that studying hard will be viewed as an undesirable form of competition with their peers (Slavin, 1983). Likewise, African-American students may reduce their effort because they resist conforming to the norms of the oppositional culture (Fordham & Ogbu, 1986).
Paradoxically, students use the
principles of attribution theory itself as a means of
self-handicapping. For example, students who think they will
fail a difficult test may be inclined to refrain from
studying for that test. Their thinking goes like
this: This kind of reasoning is
counterproductive, of course, because the objective reality
is that a person who expends less effort is actually less
likely to be productive.
Expectancy-valence models state that a person's motivation to achieve a goal depends on a combination of the value of that goal (its valence) and the person's estimation of the likelihood of success (Feather, 1982). The combination of expectancy and valence interacts with attribution theory in complex ways. For example, under certain circumstances, a high probability of success can actually reduce motivation. In most cases, a person will expend more effort when there is a moderate (rather than high or low) probability of success (Atkinson, 1964).
Self-worth theory Covington (1984) combines ideas related to self-efficacy, attribution theory, and learned helplessness. It focuses on the notion that people are largely motivated to do what it takes to enhance their reputation in various areas. Learners engage in objectively counterproductive activities such as setting goals that are far too high or too low, reducing effort, and procrastinating, in the often illusory hope that they will feel better about themselves if they refrain from putting forth their best effort and risking failure.
Many factors contribute to students' goal setting and feelings of helplessness, but research shows that highly competitive grading systems that foster comparisons with others and give the impression that only a few students will meet the high standards are likely to promote performance goals and learned helplessness and thereby reduce motivation for many students (Ames et al, 1977; Rosenholtz & Wilson, 1980; Cohen, 1986). These and other issues related to the impact of attributions on motivation are discussed in Ames & Archer (1988).
Repeated Important Caution: It is important to define effort clearly and correctly when helping students make effort attributions for their failures. If you tell a student who does not understand a concept that his problem is a lack of effort, he is likely to think you are accusing him of being lazy. When I once told a student she had failed because of a lack of effort, she replied, "Baloney! I crammed for eight straight hours for this test." The point that I hastened to clarify with her was that her problem was not being lazy, but that she had not used her time as effectively as possible. Once I convinced her that she should spread out her study time and apply several of the other principles described in chapter 1, she did much better on subsequent quizzes. Her improved motivation to be more productive after we discussed that first failure arose because she had begun to attribute her initial failure to effort - that is, to the internal, temporary, and controllable perception that she had not yet given the subject matter her best shot.
Actually, what we want to promote is not purely effort attributions, but rather strategic effort attributions - that is, learners need to believe that working hard in a particular way is what leads to success (Pressley, Borkowski, & Schneider, 1987). By consistently helping students make strategic effort attributions, we can encourage them to view failures as problem solving situations in which the search for an improved strategy becomes the main focus of attention (Clifford, 1984).2
Review Quiz 8
- a. Helen got an A in history, and she thinks this is because she has always enjoyed and been good at history.
- b. Purvis got an F in history. He thinks this is because the teacher asked a bunch of questions that were unreasonable and unexpected.
- c. Clyde got an A in history. He thinks this is because he studied hard and the teacher asked questions based on exactly what he studied.
- d. Maria a C in history. She would like to do better, but she says it is too hard.
- e. Han got a C in history. He says he could have done better if he could have found a way to organize the information better.
- f. Paul got an F in history. He is intelligent but learning disabled. He studied for six hours the night before the test. He has no idea what caused him to do badly; in fact, right after the test he told his friends he thought he had gotten an A.
- a. "I think you can handle the work. You've had trouble because you haven't been studying the material as effectively as you could. Let me suggest a better way to approach this material...."
- b. "You say you are stupid, but you're not. I think you can handle the material. In fact, I think you know a lot more than this test shows. You'll probably do better on the next test."
- c. "Instead of studying for four hours on the night before the test, try studying for a half hour on eight separate occasions during the week leading up to the test. You'll use the same amount of time, and I think you'll do better on the test."
- a. "You're a smart student. I know you can do it."
- b. "The questions on the test were too hard this time. It's not likely that they'll be equally hard the next time."
- c. "All of us have trouble some time. Keep working, and I'm sure you'll do better."
- d. "If you take more accurate notes and study them carefully, I'm sure you'll do better on the next test."

I am a 27 year on the job ASE and Icar certified , but now retired/disabled Technician, Before My injury I worked for a local ford Dealership and was there Lazor frame tech. I did all the frame work for the vehicles that came threw the shop for body repairs. Ive been disable now since 01, have had 3 failed back surgeries and a crap load of screws cages and plates in my lower back. During the past few years Ive been slowly selling off my collection that took 20 some years to accumulate, Includung 2 corvettes , a 69 GT torino,77 Blown 455 ram air 3 T.A. and a slew of parts, tools,and collectables. I tried to post one of My Matco tool boxes in the Classified section for sale but it said I was unable to use that option for some reason, so if anyone could shed a little light on that it would be great. Otherwise Ive viewed the site extensively and think maybe Ive found a place that I just might fit in and be able to spend some of my time helping and just talking with people that are into muscle cars and the auto industry in general.

Reserves & resources replacement
The Group has total reserves and resources of 1,742.8 mmboe. Post completion of the farm-down in Uganda, total reserves and resources are expected to be 1,139.0 mmboe.
Working interest production
Working interest production increased 35% in 2011 but was below the Group's baseline and stretch targets due to productivity issues with some of the Jubilee wells.
Cash operating cost per boe
Cash operating cost per boe were higher than the Group's baseline and stretch targets as a result lower than expected production rates.
Operating cash flow before working capital
Operating cash flow before working capital increased by 132% driven by higher sales volumes and realised oil prices.
Total shareholder return
Tullow's TSR was 12% in 2011, which represents a top quartile performance versus the comparator group.

For years and years, Sergei Rachmaninoff received negative music reviews for breaking tradition. In response he once wrote, "I'm more focused saying simply and directly that which is in my heart." No more is that focus more evident than in his Second Symphony. We'll hear a concert with Marin Alsop directing the Sao Paolo Symphony Orchestra. Also ahead, Ottorino Respighi composes slithering sounds in music after a visit to the Butantan Snake Institute in Brazil. On Monday's Performance Today, from APM.

Finnish composer Jean Sibelius once wrote, "Compositions are like butterflies. Touch them even once, and the dust of color is gone. They can still fly, but are nowhere near as beautiful." That is, let your ears and your gut be your guide, not your analytical mind. We'll admire a musical butterfly this hour: the Symphony No. 7, by Sibelius. Also on the way, a world-premiere performance of chamber music inspired by ephemeral sculptures of Andrew Goldsworthy. On Friday's Performance Today, from APM.
Sep 26

Maurice Ravel's string quartet was mostly dismissed as a failure by his teacher, by a prestigious contest and by music critics in Paris. But ever since Claude Debussy gave an enthusiastic thumbs up, Ravel's one and only string quartet has become a staple of the chamber music repertoire. Also we hear a double piano concerto by J.S. Bach that would have been played in a busy, bustling coffeehouse in Leipzig. On Tuesday's Performance Today.

In the mid-1500s, astronomer Nicholas Copernicus came up with a radical theory. The idea that the planets go around the sun, not around the earth. The annual summer music festival in Lugano, Switzerland has something similar. There, things don't revolve around a sun, but around Martha Argerich. We'll visit the Martha Argerich Project, a month-long festival where young, up-and-coming players get to rehearse and perform with the living legend of the piano, on Monday's Performance Today.

Belgium captain Vincent Kompany insists there is no pressure on striker Romelu Lukaku to deliver World Cup success for their country.
Chelsea striker Lukaku, 21, has been thrust into the Belgium side at Brazil 2014 because of injury to Aston Villa's Christian Benteke.
Lukaku struggled to gain a handle on their opening game, with substitutes Dries Mertens and Marouane Fellaini needed to secure a 2-1 win over Algeria.
But Kompany said: "Romelu has a tremendous amount of talent, and for us it's about not putting pressure on a 21-year-old kid to do it for us at a World Cup.
\"A lot of other people will take the responsibility. He is only 21 so he probably has two or more World Cups left, so there is no pressure on his shoulders.
\"If he performs well for us we will be happy, but the most important thing is he puts in his performance for the benefit of the group and he'll be okay.\"
Belgium take on Russia in their second Group H game on Sunday in the Maracana - a stadium Kompany admits he has dreamt of playing in since he was a boy.
"To face off against Russia, there, will be really special - it was one of my boyhood dreams coming true just to walk on that sacred pitch,\" the 28-year-old said.
"I have played in a lot of the big stadiums in Europe and the most mythical stadiums in the world are Wembley and the Maracana, so this is something very special.
"We are not going to prove ourselves by style, only results. How have Spain, England, Italy, even Brazil got on? Countries have to focus on getting through the group stage."
Speaking to reporters, Kompany also expressed his sympathy for the plight of England after they were knocked out on Friday.
He said: "My wife is English and, she thinks my kids are English too, and because of the English players I have as friends, who I have a lot of respect for, meant I wanted them to have a good competition.
\"I'm very saddened as much as the English fans about the exit of England.\"

Episode Information
Albatross Surfs the Wind
The Laysan Albatross, with a wing span of about seven feet, is completely at home in the vastness of the open ocean. It glides up and down, back and forth, across the wake, sometimes riding up 100 feet, then coasting right back down near the surface. Its wings stay slightly arched, but don't seem to flap. Through a marvelous feat called "dynamic soaring," this Laysan Albatross uses differences in wind speed.

Contract talks on Mackay's mind
John Eustace, Jon Harley and Will Hoskins are among those who could leave the Hornets as free agents. Club captain Jay DeMerit's deal also runs out in the summer, though the USA international has openly expressed that he does not wish to open negotiations until after this year's World Cup in South Africa. "Everyone is on their own individual merits in terms of having discussions with them (contracts)," Mackay told the club's offical website. "I think you have to do it like that. Everyone is in a different situation and in a different point in their career and will have different attractions and options. "There is no sweeping statement where I would say there will be any across-the-board way we will treat everyone."

After reading excellent preview piece about Intel's Moblin V2 over at Phoronix , I spoke with my sources from Microsoft. There isn't any secret that the Wintel alliance of 1980s and 1990s is slowly, but certainly – drawing to a close. Even though Microsoft executives are refusing to take the blame for their actions in the case of Windows Vista class-action suit, the relationship between Microsoft and Intel dipped to a new all-time low.
When Intel announced project Moblin in 2007, Microsoft frowned upon Intel, given the effort the company put in gearing its next gen OS "Vienna" (aka Windows 7) towards netbooks and MIDs. The love-hate relationship begun with Intel frowning on Microsoft in the case of Xbox 360 and AMD's 64-bit instruction set "x86-64″ (AMD64). But with the Moblin V2 Core OS coming to life, Intel is threatening Microsoft for the very first time on Microsoft's home turf – software.
Our sources claim that upcoming Windows Mobile 6.5 is just a preparation for Windows Mobile 7, OS that will cover smartphones, GPS devices and MIDs from the lower end segment, topped with Windows 7 Embedded Edition for the higher end spectrum of GPS/MID/Netbook market. The company that gave Microsoft a helping hand is no other than Nvidia. Bear in mind that it was ATI Technologies that worked hand-in-hand with Microsoft on Windows Mobile 6, 6.5 and 7, but AMD's leadership (should we write, lack of?) sold that part for small change to Freescale and Qualcomm. This is for the second time in two years that AMD walked away from the market it helped create (OLPC and netbooks were the first), and Jen-Hsun is probably the luckiest guy in the world. All he needs to do is watch what markets AMD is investing in right now, and then walk right in as soon as AMD starts to walk out. Personally, I just don't understand AMD – the company spends millions of dollars and tens of thousands of man-hours developing projects that the company will walk out from, loose brilliant people in the process, and then nobody will point a finger when a company melts down with more than $3B losses in 2008 alone.
Getting back on the story, I was surprised to hear that Nvidia works hand-in-hand with Microsoft on that level. Previously, my MSFT sources always mentioned Intel and ATI/AMD, but now, the company that is most spoken of is Graphzilla from Satan Clara. Oddly how world turns. That also answered my question why Nvidia shunned Nokia's offer and sold hundreds of millions of Tegra chips to this Finnish giant. Jen-Hsun thinks Windows Mobile is safer bet than Symbian OS. Looking from this perspective, he might even be right.
Even though the 1st gen Tegra (APX2500) or 2nd gen Tegra (600/650) didn't exactly showed up in smartphones when we expected them, it turned out that first and second generation were nothing but Trojan horses for Nvidia in the handheld market. Tegra 600/650 is based on GeForce 6 chip, while Tegra 700(?) is looking up for a debut this year with CUDA-capable and OpenCL-capable GeForce 9 core. 3rd generation Tegra is the SoC that will have Microsoft backing, so nPhone isn't a concept, but a reality. Windows Mobile 7 + Tegra 700 should be the winning combination for Microsoft in the mobile space, as a payback to Intel.
In fact, don't be surprised if Microsoft decides to give Nvidia's Ion a helping hand by offering Windows 7 and Windows XP deals on MIDs and netbooks on Intel Atom+GeForce 9400, and shunning Intel's integrated graphics parts. When this scenario comes to life, don't be surprised if you read "Wintel is dead" comments from bloggers and editors on their respective networks.
Just remember where you read it first ;-)

Getting a tennis court ready for

Powered moss removal
Removing moss from pavements, yards and walkways can be a troublesome task, but removing moss can be made simple with a Kersten powered sweeper or WeedBrush.Chemical use is highly controversial and topical and any way of reducing it is welcome.
The hydraulic powered sweeper can be set to scrub the outdoor hard surface clean whilst maintaining a steady forward speed removing moss and the debris that the moss is growing in. Moss and debris is collected in the collector box on the sweeping machine ensuring the surface is left clean and free from moss.
Perfect growing environment
Moss tends to grow in damp, shaded conditions where debris collects and is attached to the damp surface. The combination of shade, damp and debris provides the perfect growing environment for moss. A pavement shaded by a tall hedge may be the ideal environment to promote moss growth. It is important that pavements are kept free from moss as it can become very slippery and so causing a safety hazard.Moss and debris can freeze
Winter conditions can make the moss covered surface even more dangerous as the moisture contained in the moss and debris can freeze. Due to the shade these areas do not thaw easily. Continued frost in the pavement surface can cause the small stones in the tarmac to become pushed out due to the expansion of the moisture contained in the debris that has been left. Of course this damage is only realised when the debris is removed from the hard surface pavement. This type of damage to the pavement is very expensive to remedy. In the past pavements used to be swept regularly by council work men with brooms. Using brushes and brooms kept the surface free from debris and the moss did not grow. Today most pavements are not swept with a broom or sweeper. At best they may be cleared with a back pack or hand held powered blower. Most blowers are not powerful enough to move the debris that is stuck to the surface.Debris that is stuck to the surface
There are chemical solutions designed to kill moss on pavements which generally do kill moss when sprayed in the correct conditions and using suitable application rates for the level of infestation. These chemical moss killer products include MMC Pro Moss Killer, Eco Chem Moss and Algae Killer, MossKiller Ready, Simply Gone, Vitax Finalsan Organic Moss Killer, Brintons Patio Magic, Bayer Garden Moss Killer. Quite often the dead moss serves to provide the perfect food source for the next lot of moss to grow in. Increasingly their use is becoming prohibited by councils and public bodies.The only sure way of removing moss is by physically removing it and its growing medium or food sources.
Very effective moss killer
A sweeper can be a very effective moss killer or at least an effective moss remover. The powered sweepers from Kersten can help prevent moss from becoming established by regularly sweeping surfaces to remove rubbish, mud and general debris. A collector box may be fitted to all Kersten sweepers. Kersten powerbrush sweepers may be pedestrian or mounted to most prime movers such as compact tractors, ride-on mowers, forklift truck and utility vehicles.Read the 'Horticulture Week' article by Dr Neil Hipps on Herbicide-free weed control.
If you need to use chemical moss killer then we would recommend Di-Algae moss killer for hard courts and artificial grass surfaces. We can supply this.


text: I've not seen anything like this so I thought I'd put this out there to see what people here thought about this. Living in SD I bought my handgun recently. So in doing so the hardware store that sold it to me at which I work at made me fill out the SF 4473 form then proceeded to make the "call" to ATF for instant conformation on my background. It did pass of course. In a private sale though I truely think that as all guns have serial numbers unless they're too old to actually have one placed on them from time of making of course, but before a transaction happens I think a FFL dealer should be the median to such transaction to which he/she then can make that "Call" and like a $20 transaction fee must be payed. That way half of the transaction goes to supporting say fire arms classes to pay the person to hold it, then a 1/4 of the rest goes to the FFL dealer for his/hers time involved in the transaction. The rest goes to the state to which can be put into one and ONLY ONE fund collecting interest to which it will be used for mental health issues ONLY like classes or soemthing like such. Have there been talks around like this in here if so let me know as I think instead of limiting or even wasting the federal governments money our money on this mental health thing they seem to want to push there could be a way to fund this legally. Also, if anyone that doesn't abide by this lawful transaction it could be punishable like say $10,000 dollar fine and minimum of 1 year in federal prision since really it would be a federal effence. you have to make it seriously strict as hell otherwise people will break it. Yes people will try to do such as well but you can also implement another law that states that ATF must be allowed to visually verafy your gun to your registured serial number. Rifle, pistol, shotgun, it doesn't matter. If it fires a projectile and has a serial number by a manufacture then you're responsable for it till it's phyically sold from you.

A Dream of Toasted Cheese
June 25, 2014 | by Sadie Stein
Sir Henry Enfield Roscoe was a prominent nineteenth-century chemist—a pioneer in photography and the first to obtain the element vanadium in its pure form. He was also, incidentally, Beatrix Potter's uncle. In 1906, he wrote,
I also wrote a First Step in Chemistry which has had a large sale. With reference to this little book, I here insert a reproduction of a coloured drawing by my niece, Miss Beatrix Potter, as original as it is humorous, which was presented to me by the artist on publication of the work.
Although by 1906 Potter was already the successful author of Peter Rabbit, The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin, and The Tailor of Gloucester, she would've been a girl when First Step in Chemistry was published. The image, however, is interesting not merely because of its accomplished style—the precocious Potter received childhood art lessons—but because it recalls her interest in science. While she's well known now as a conservationist and animal artist, her early scientific interests were broad: she studied archeology and entomology and made a serious study of mycology. Indeed, in 1897 she had a male friend submit her paper "On the Germination of the Spores of the Agaricinea" to the Linnean Society.
Roscoe supported her in these endeavors: using his university connections, he arranged meetings for Beatrix with prominent botanists and officials at Kew Gardens. The congratulatory picture is a testament to their affectionate relationship. Nevertheless, the image, while fantastic, is peculiar: the mice seem to have taken over the lab by night to conduct risky cheese-toasting experiments with terrifyingly large Bunsen burners. And while the bespectacled lead mouse seems scholarly enough, behind him, the scene is anarchic: the effect is more that of Ratatouille than of a well-organized laboratory. And let's face it, the resulting treat is less than tempting. The mice are sort of like scientific Tailors of Gloucester—albeit less organized, and less altruistic.

The artist adds, "The bacteria that you find in-between the toes is actually very similar to the bacteria that makes cheese smell like toes." You don't say.

Book and Cheese Pairings
July 9, 2013 | by Sadie Stein
"It would be too simple to say this is any ordinary cheese with the blues—it's dense with flavor, care and feeling. The Bayley Hazen has a balanced mix of flavors that range from buttered toast, to chocolate and hazelnuts, and even the dark bitterness of liquorice. This Stilton-like blue is a mix of narratives—the Mrs. Dalloway of cheeses, if you will. It's a delicious modern classic. Its taste, and the moment you first fell in love with it, will permeate in your memory for years. Don't let this one get away." (Via Airship Daily.)

Destructive Giant African Land Snails on the Loose in Miami
"The Giant African land snail is one of the most damaging snails in the world because they consume at least 500 different types of plants, can cause structural damage to plaster and stucco, and can carry a parasitic nematode that can lead to meningitis in humans," says the DOA's press release.
The snails, which can grow up to 8 inches, also have both sex organs and can lay 1,200 eggs each a year. Once hatched the snails can live for nine years.
The 1966 outbreak was caused when a boy tried to bring three back to Miami from East Africa as pets. His grandmother released them into her garden, and then the snails began multiplying. The outbreak caused $1 million in damage, and it took Florida ten years to completely eradicate the population.
The snails are illegal to import. Though, this may be the first time the snails have been spotted in the Florida wild, a man was caught keeping the snails for religious purposes in Florida last year.
Charles L. Stewart of Hialeah smuggled the snails into the country, and made his religious followers drink the snails' mucus. Authorities were tipped off when his followers started showing up at hospitals complaining of violent illness.
If you happen to see one of the snails in the wild, the DOA asks you take the following steps:
Anyone who believes they may have seen a Giant African land snail or signs of its presence should call the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services toll-free at 888-397-1517 to make arrangements to have the snail collected.Follow Miami New Times on Facebook and Twitter @MiamiNewTimes.
To preserve the snail sample, Floridians should use gloves to put the snail in a zip lock bag, seal it and place it in a bucket or plastic container. They are advised not to release or give these samples away.

Deputy Leader laments plight of Axminster Carpets
Wednesday 20 February
A LEADING East Devon Councillor has reacted to news that one of the district's oldest and most respected employers – Axminster Carpets – is proposing to appoint administrators.
The company, formed in 1755 and a global brand in the supply of carpets to sitting rooms, board-rooms, hotel rooms and even airlines, trains and shipping lines, announced today (Wednesday 20 February) that it is in financial difficulties.
Councillor Andrew Moulding, Deputy Leader of East Devon District Council, and also Mayor of Axminster, was commenting on the revelation that one of East Devon's biggest employers, with around 400 workers, is in trouble. He said: "This is extremely sad and troubling news from so many standpoints.
"As an Axminster councillor I am terribly disappointed that a company that has taken the name of our historic town into thousands of homes and businesses all over the world should have succombed to the economic ills that beset so many companies during these difficult global trading conditions.
"As Mayor, I am aware of the effect this will have on Axminster as a town and a community, and the impact on the individuals and families who have been such loyal and long-standing employees of this family business. I also feel for the Dutfield family, who have been such good employers and are victims of a global recession.
"I am desperately sorry for the hard-working employees of the company, who now find their employment under threat. EDDC wants to see a thriving economy in East Devon and we will do anything we can do assist the company in these difficult times.
"Of course, we should not lose heart. The company is intending to appoint administrators and that means there is good reason to hope that it can be saved and continue trading, albeit in a different format, into the future. The next few days and weeks will be crucial and whilst I sympathise with the current plight of the employees and directors, I remain optimistic that something can be salvaged to ensure that this iconic name, so synonymous with quality and resilience, continues for many years to come".

SAN CARLOS APACHE INDIAN RESERVATION, Ariz. -- Authorities say they have located and arrested the man who allegedly shot at a tribal police officer during a traffic stop early Sunday morning.
Christopher Ellis Delmar, 31, is being charged with aggravated assault on a police officer.
About 1:30 a.m., a San Carlos Apache police officer stopped Delmar on the US-70 near Globe for a traffic violation, according to Police Chief Alejandro Benally.
Delmar allegedly fired his rifle at the officer.
The officer was not hit and returned fire on Delmar, who then fled in a Chrysler minivan registered to a Utah woman, Benally said.
The FBI and the Arizona Department of Public Safety assisted tribal police with the manhunt. The FBI is conducting the investigation.

Okay, after a false start (I thought this was last week originally) the Technology Fast is here! I am not in fact blogging — this post has been/was scheduled to publish. I am currently not on my computer, ipod, or cell phone. I'm also probably wandering around campus trying to meet people: My usual trick is to text him/her asking for an exact location rather than trust he/she will show up at the preordained spot.
Joking aside, the tech fast is a great event sponsored by the Butler Catholic Community. The goal is not to deny the utility and convenience of entertainment and communication technology — if you are reading this, then you want to know more about the life of a Butler college student (or about my life in particular, if you are my dad) and are using technology to do so. However, a short fast from technology introduces some perspective. Do I really need to text my boyfriend if he is three minutes late? No, of course not.
At the end of the fast, all participants are invited to attend a supper and discussion of the event at the Blue House. I did not go last year, though I participated in the fast, but the people who went were extremely enthusiastic. This year I'm planning to attend, so I report all awesomeness I encounter!
If you are reading this, you might consider a mini-fast of your own: Even just four hours makes you aware of how often you use technology… and perhaps how often technology is really necessary.
When not on a tech fast, you can find BCC updates through our Facebook community page.
English majors, please excuse all the passive voice and second person I've used in this post.

Nice. You did a good job working with the shades white on grey. Keeping the object in focus apart from the background without looking too blended is hard to pull off.
The real end of the Condor was the Escort Carriers or 'Jeep Carriers'.
Museums also offer a wide variety of photos. Many museums are getting extensive private collection donated by families of vets that have passed away. The San Diego Air museum is a good one.

4. Winter's Frost
"You wish to leave the Wood?" Father asked me incredulously.
My decision to relocate with some of our people to Ithilien was yet another one of my choices that he simply could not comprehend. I had already received his scorn when he learned that I had befriended a dwarf: "Dwarves! What next, Legolas? Orcs?"
But how could I simply return to my previous life when I had seen so much of the world? I admit that I had taken his beliefs with me when leaving Rivendell with the Fellowship, yet somewhere along the way, I had begun to see things in a different light and to question whether Father's policies were right . . . or at least if they were right for me. By the time the One Ring had finally been destroyed, I knew that I could never go back and simply resume my former way of life. Too much had changed; I had changed.
As I left my home for Ithilien, my eyes landed upon the old beech tree growing beside the pond. Its limbs stood bare, none of the leaves it once held so close and dear in sight. A twig snapped beneath my foot, drawing my attention downward where a single leaf, crisp, brown, and wrinkled, lay lifeless on the dirt.
Without a backward glance, I mounted my steed and rode southward.
And now, years later, as I stand here in the Grey Havens lamenting our estrangement, I realize that although I cannot go back and repair what was, I can choose to look forward to our reunion on a distant shore where words, though they come easily, are unnecessary. For on that shore, understanding is complete, relationships are restored, and the tree, proud and strong, clings tightly to its leaf in a never-ending summer.
