The telecommunications landscape is evolving and we've developed a range of managed services models to suit a wide variety of customer needs.
In the Networked Society, people depend on networks to help them connect with each other and improve their lives and businesses. In this new world, operators are under pressure to maintain quality of service, differentiate themselves from the competition and promote end-user loyalty. Operators can meet these challenges by entering into managed services partnerships with experts that assume responsibility for activities such as designing, building, operating and managing day-to-day network operations.
No two operators are alike and we have created a range of managed services models that we use to manage networks that serve 1 billion subscribers worldwide. The traditional telecom managed services model focuses on reducing cost and shielding complexity. Our experience-centric managed services model, meanwhile, aligns service delivery with the operator's strategic and business objectives, securing a customer experience-centric operation that proactively drives business innovation. Finally, our sharing models, such as the wholesale network sharing model, are focused on structural efficiency and enabling new business models, giving operators maximum flexibility.
Through Network Managed Services, we can take full responsibility for your network, including planning, design and implementation, day-to-day operations and maintenance.
Our telecom IT Managed Services offering includes all activities typically performed when running an IT environment. As a managed services partner, we bring cross-domain IT expertise and an ...

Postal Service lost $1.3 billion over quarter
Friday - 2/8/2013, 6:56pm EST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. Postal Service lost $1.3 billion in the final three months of last year, despite a blizzard of campaign advertising for the fall political elections and a big holiday mail and shipping season.
The loss announced Friday was far less than the $3.3 billion in the comparable quarter the previous fiscal year, but still showed the effects of a continued decline in first-class mailing as customers continue to flock to the Internet for emailing, bill paying and the like.
In releasing their financial report, postal officials pleaded anew with Congress to give them the flexibility to better manage the agency -- including to free it from a mandate that they prepay for expected retiree health care costs.
Considering its operations alone, the agency actually made $100 million delivering the mail -- earning $17.7 billion in revenue against $17.6 billion in operating expenses. But the health care funding and some other expenses pushed it to a net loss.
"We can't continue to operate on a precipice," the service's Chief Financial Officer Joe Corbett said in a conference call for reporters.
In a move to cut costs, the Postal Service had announced Wednesday that it plans to end Saturday mail deliveries in August, although it will continue six-day-a-week package delivery -- setting up a possible run-in with some members of Congress who don't want the Saturday cutback.
In October through December, the first quarter of fiscal year 2013, the Postal Service said:
--Its operating revenue of $17.7 billion was a decrease of less than 1 percent from the same quarter in fiscal year 2012.
--Total expenses of $18.9 billion were a 9.8 percent decrease from the year-earlier $20.9 billion.
--First class mail declined 4.5 percent.
--Standard mail such as advertising increased 3.6 percent with help from the elections.
--Shipping and package volume increased 4 percent.
--Total mail volume was 43.5 billion pieces compared to 43.6 billion the previous year.
Officials also reported record efficiency gains in the workforce. Seizing on that and the operating profit, Fredric Rolando, president of the National Association of Letter Carriers, criticized the idea of cutting Saturday mail deliveries.
"Today's Postal Service's quarterly financial report shows the folly of making drastic cuts in service as the postmaster general proposed this week," he said in a statement.
Rolando and others want to hold off on service cuts and find other ways to rebalance finances. The Senate last year passed a bill that would have stopped postal officials from eliminating Saturday service for at least two years while trying other aggressive cost cutting.
An independent agency, the post office gets no tax dollars for its day-to-day operations but nonetheless remains subject to congressional control.
"While these losses are an improvement compared to its historic $3.3 billion loss in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012, it certainly makes it clear that the Postal Service continues to face financial challenges that can only be alleviated by comprehensive postal reform legislation," said Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., and chair of the governmental affairs committee.
He has scheduled a committee hearing on the problem for Wednesday.

The American Fund for Alternatives to Animal Research
The American Fund for Alternatives to Animal Research (AFAAR) was founded by Dr Ethel Thurston in 1977 as a charitable trust committed to promoting and financing alternatives to animal experiments. Dr Thurston was one of the first and leading supporters of non-animal testing methods: "There are so many advanced possibilities in groups of human cell cultures, computer models and other alternatives," she said. Among the first funded projects was an alternative to the Draize rabbit eye test, which was later adopted by the Colgate Palmolive company.
AFAAR is dedicated to improving the plight of animals, including the prevention of cruelty to animals, and to the education of the public on animal welfare and humane research. AFAAR works to finance research to develop validated alternative test methods, raising funds to award support grants to scientists worldwide to develop or teach non-animal testing. Projects have focused on developing in vitro (test tube) alternatives to the LD50 test, the Draize test, protein destruction and recovery tests, and others. How is the BUAV involved? Michelle Thew, chief executive of the BUAV, is on AFAAR's board of advisors, working to ensure that the next generation of promising young scientists can develop their careers in positive non-animal technologies. The BUAV is now working closely with US partners NEAVS to manage and develop new programmes for AFAAR.

European Coalition to End Animal Experiments
The European Coalition to End Animal Experiments (ECEAE) is Europe's leading alliance peacefully campaigning on behalf of laboratory animals. Formed in 1990 by animal organisations across Europe to successfully campaign to ban cosmetics testing on animals, the Coalition now leads campaigning on animal experimentation issues in Europe. The European Coalition draws together organisations with a range of legislative, scientific and political expertise working with parliamentarians, Commission officials and EU citizens to effect change for laboratory animals. The BUAV leads the ECEAE, funds lobbyists and acts as secretariat.
The ECEAE runs a range of lobbying and campaigning initiatives to ensure that laboratory animals are high on the European political agenda. Current activities are centered on the following key priorities:
The ECEAE employs a range of legislative, scientific and political expertise, engaging the public and decision-makers in a multi-disciplinary approach towards ending animal experimentation:
The ECEAE lobbies in Brussels, Strasbourg and through its member organisations at national level to influence legislation. Working with parliamentarians and Commission officials, the Coalition advances the cause of laboratory animals. Whether assisting the passage of key amendments, drafting proposals or providing scientific briefing papers, it ensures that laboratory animals are high on the political agenda.
The ECEAE co-ordinates Europe-wide campaigns to achieve maximum impact. Working with national member organisations, it ensures its message is heard by the media and citizens across the European Union. Current campaigns include the use of primates in experiments in light of the revision of Directive 86/609/EEC on the protection of animals used for experimental and other scientific purposes.
The ECEAE compiles in-depth, quality reports to support its work. Written by experts in the field, its research challenges the scientific status quo, examines alternatives available to the use of animals in experimentation and highlights the suffering they undergo while in laboratories. An invaluable resource for decision-makers and media alike, its scientific analysis advances the cause of animals in laboratories.
The BUAV acts as secretariat to the ECEAE, providing its Chief Executive, Policy Officer and Coordinator.
The International Council on Animal Protection at OECD Programmes
The International Council on Animal Protection at OECD Programmes (ICAPO) is a coalition of the major animal protection organisations committed to achieving change in the way chemicals are tested internationally. To find out more please visit their website.
ICAPO seeks to ensure the widest possible integration of alternative methods in the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) influential guidelines and programmes. The OECD is an economic alliance of 30 of the world's industrialised countries, co-ordinating the development of standardised chemical testing guidelines which are then adopted by the member countries. The OECD also co-ordinates the development of chemical testing programmes, such as its current programme on endocrine disruptors and nanomaterials
The OECD's testing-related activities historically have relied heavily on animal-based methods. However, since 2002, animal protection has had a formal voice at the OECD in the form of ICAPO. ICAPO works to fully incorporate alternative methods that can replace, reduce, and refine animal use (the "Three Rs") into OECD guidelines, in the interest of animal protection, public health and sound science.
The BUAV is a founding member of ICAPO and works as an active member; this is important as the hugely influential OECD prefers to work with a single body that represents animal protection globally.
International Council on Animal Protection in Pharmaceutical Programs
The International Council on Animal Protection in Pharmaceutical Programs (ICAPPP) is a coalition of the major animal protection organisations committed to achieving change in the way medicines are produced and tested internationally.
ICAPPP aims to ensure the widest possible integration of alternatives to animal testing in concept papers and guidelines produced by the ICH and regional pharmaceutical regulators, in the interests of animal protection, public health and sound science.
The ICH is the International Conference on Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use, and is a project that brings together the regulatory authorities of USA, Europe and Japan and experts from the pharmaceutical industry in the three regions. Its purpose is to recommend ways to achieve greater harmonisation of guidelines and requirements for product registration in order to reduce the need to duplicate the testing carried out during the research and development of new medicines.
ICAPPP submits comments on ICH and regional pharmaceutical pre-clinical guidelines, suggesting changes that should (and can) be made, in order to reduce, replace and refine the use of animals to test the safety and efficacy of medicines.
The BUAV is a founding member of ICAPPP and Dr Katy Taylor, the BUAV's Science Coordinator, acts as secretariat of ICAPPP. It is important for the BUAV to work cooperatively with other animal organisations in ICAPPP because bodies such as the ICH listen to stakeholders when we come together as one united voice.
Mandated Alternatives Petition
The Mandatory Alternatives Petition (MAP) coalition is a group of organisations working together to ensure that the US Government implements alternatives to animals in laboratories. It seeks to improve the way drug testing is done in US laboratories before being tested on people.
The MAP has submitted a formal petition asking the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to mandate the use of scientifically proven drug testing methods that replace the use of animals. The coalition members and the physicians, scientists, and other experts who have signed the Mandatory Alternatives Petition believe it is a necessary step because there has been little progress in the U.S. toward the adoption of scientifically proven methods that give better results and replace the use of animals for drug testing.
The MAP advocate the replacement of animal-based testing methods that are inaccurate, unvalidated, immensely cruel, and often dangerous for human health. The coalition members are concerned at the number of hazardous drugs approved for human use, the harm they're causing millions of people around the world, and the inability of animal testing methods to detect and prevent these serious consequences.
More reliable testing methods are available, and many more are in development, which can produce safer and more effective drugs than current animal testing methods.
The BUAV is a leading member of the MAP coalition, representing the EU on the group. This is important as the EU is ahead of the US in enshrining the principle of alternatives in law. The MAP coalition is seeking to ensure a consistent international approach to this issue.

My wife says we've almost ruined Halloween. It's one of her favorite holidays. She drags out her string of Halloween pumpkin lights, her motion-activated plastic pumpkin that makes scary sounds and the big gray bat that hangs in the foyer.
Having purchased several hundred treats, Jenny's ready for a crowd of little goblins and ghosts. The problem is not many come. Whatever happened to the Halloween we enjoyed when we were kids?
I lived on a farm until fourth grade, so my parents would drive us into town to trick-or-treat in several city blocks around my grandparents' house. The streets would be filled with groups of young kids, mostly in homemade costumes, going from house to house. Seemingly, everyone had a porch light on.
Sometimes we would get a candy bar, but often it was a popcorn ball or a cupcake. I tried to avoid candy apples tossed into my bag, because I didn't like the sticky things and I was afraid of mashing my cupcakes. Because I was shy, the hardest part of the evening to me was going up to the doorbell and actually saying, "Trick or treat," to adults I didn't know. It was good training, though.
Before the night was over, my sister and I would have met up with many of our friends, who attended the same elementary school we did, just up the hill from my grandparents' house.
Of course, we didn't eat a lot of our candy that night because we already had filled up on sweets at the Halloween party in our classroom. (Remember when we used to be able to take cupcakes and candy to school?)
Things certainly have changed. We had fewer than 50 kids show up at our house Halloween night. Even though it was a nice night for walking, most arrived by car, having been driven from one porch-lit house to the next.
Many of the houses in our neighborhood were dark. Either the adults had gone off to costume parties or they were lurking in the darkened houses to avoid having to answer the door.
Perhaps your neighborhood was different. I'm told some areas here in New Albany still attract lots of kids. But the idea that it's something to do in your own neighborhood seems to be in decline.
Halloween has suffered from several things. First, 25 or so years ago, we had a couple of incidents involving tainted food or razor blades in food. And we started allowing our kids to eat only pre-packaged candy.
Then somewhere along the way a few people decided to turn what for most of us was a fun night when we were kids into a religious issue.
Somehow, groups from churches to shopping centers got into the act of offering "alternatives to Halloween." I don't think most of us thought we needed an alternative to Halloween when we were growing up.
Often these events provide an opportunity to gets lots of candy in a hurry without getting much exercise. And without meeting up with anyone in the neighborhood.
Why can't Halloween just be Halloween again—a fun night for handing out candy to little ghosts and goblins? And giving a wave to their parents, standing at the curb with a flashlight.

How to soothe coughs for the whole family
How to soothe coughs for the whole family
(NewsUSA) - Families know that a hacking cough can echo throughout the home and prevent the entire house from getting a good night's sleep -- a big contributing factor to household stress. Plus, parents can be just as stubborn as children about taking the necessary cough medicine.
According to the Mayo Clinic, the common cold is the number one reason why children miss school. Children catch six to 10 colds a year, while adults catch two to four, and coughing is a major symptom.
"In healthy people, coughing is a useful reflex that keeps our air ducts clear. But it also spreads germs and interrupts sleep. This further weakens the immune system, making us more vulnerable to a secondary infection," says Dr. Jim LaValle, clinical pharmacist and founder of LaValle Metabolic Institute. LaValle offers key advice for treating family coughs:
Honey: Myth or truth? According to a study published in the "Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine," Grandma was right. A teaspoon of honey before bed seems to calm coughs so sufferers sleep better. Honey is rich in antioxidants and soothes irritation.
Opt for expectorants rather than suppressants. Coughs should be treated with an expectorant to clear out mucus. An expectorant encourages the body to get rid of phlegm quickly. Suppressants, however, suppress the body's natural ability to heal itself.
Read the labels. Manufacturers of decongestants, antihistamines and cough suppressants recently relabeled these medications, instructing parents not to use them in children younger than age four. The move followed a U.S. Food and Drug Administration panel that questioned the safety and efficacy of these medications' use in kids under six years old.
"One of the safest over-the-counter options I recommend is a cough syrup that combines honey and homeopathic medicines, Chestal," says LaValle. "It doesn't contain any of the ingredients in question by the FDA."
From the makers of Oscillococcinum, a natural flu medicine relied upon by families worldwide, Chestal is safe for everyone ages two and up. Also available as Children's Chestal, the kid-friendly honey base soothes the throat while the blend of safe homeopathic medicines loosens congestion.

Social Conservative Christians - that's what happened. And we can blame Ron Regan for that cluster fuck.
If you look at a Republican before the party was taken over by the Christian Taliban, Barry Goldwater for instance, you will see what is considered a Libertarian today.
Of course that's not the whole story and a book can be written about what went wrong and the multitude of things that happened other than Christian nuts who want to increase the size of Government, throw the Constitution in the trash, and have government regulate people's personal lives - all because of values written in a book of iron age myth.
And then there is the fact that the American people completely forgot what happened between 2002 - 2008: the Republicans controlled BOTH the Executive branch and the Legislative branch of our government and went apeshit with the spending AND had the brass to lie and say it was ALL because of the wars. Only then to blame it ALL on the Obama administration.
But wait there's more
Now as a VP candidate, he has gone 180 degrees and the republicans have completely forgotten what he wanted to do in Congress or they are so horribly uninformed, that they don't know.
TO get the Rep vote, just say, "No gay marriage. No abortion. Cut taxes and spending." Because contrary to what they hear from their leaders on Talk Radio and Fox News, they think most of the Federal budget is going for paying welfare mothers and their pink Cadillacs; even though the largest expenses in the Fed budget is Medicare and Interest on the debt that they got rolling.
But wait there's even more! You see the Reps are allegedly against wealth transfer - from "rich" to "poor", but they are ALL for wealth transfer from young to old (Medicare and SS) and from poor to rich (capital gains are taxed less, home mortgage deductions [rich have more than one house and therefore get more Government subsides], and all the other loopholes that are only available to the 1%)
The Republicans are laughed at for good reason, I'm afraid. They used to be a decent counter to the Democrat's Depression Era thinking, but now they're just too loony.

Of course "have resources" is a relative phrase, which means that income inequality is incompatible with sustaining a libertarian government, yet libertarianism explicitly promotes that inequality. That's why Libertarianism is totally untried as a form of government. They sometimes claim the US pre-Civil War, but the US pre-Civil War was a slave-holding country. The government was technically Libertaran in the sense that the official Federal government was not officially oppressing anybody, but that doesn't mean South Carolina was freer in 1850 then Moscow was in 1950.
Libertarians really do not understand that the greatest threat to freedom is not the US Army, it's your neighbors. To remain a free country the US Military has too have the power to intervene in private disputes. Which means taxes, the ability to break up huge concentrations of wealth (otherwise Bill Gates could hire his own army and beat the Feds), a welfare state that ensures everyone has the ability to ask the courts for help, etc.
I think the biggest think the libertarians overlook when it comes to the U.S. pre-Civil War is that was a time when a man could just travel westward and live off the land. You could buy land off the government for like a penny an acre. Even adjusting for inflation, that's nothing, especially considering that aside from desert areas the land had enough resources to sustain the owner and provide enterprising opportunities.
Freedom is such an abstract concept - I don't believe any person has every been 'free,'
Even if one is free from the government's influence they're still not free from the influence of others.
Libertarianism is all about the respecting the rights of others, and having your respected also. It does not pretend anyone lives alone, it's for addressing what happen when people live together.
all schools, K-12 and all, should be privately run for profit and parents should pay for their children's education.

Medical students and administrators from the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine's Bradenton campus attended the 16th Osteopathic Medicine Day at the Florida Legislature in Tallahassee.
|LECOM Bradenton medical students Michael Hansen, Adam Allen, Brent Stottman, Ross Kurland, Tanya Perich, Stephanie Berg, Karin Wakas, Alisha Pineiro and Blake Van Brunt flank LECOM associate dean of academic affairs Robert George, DO, and Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum.
Osteopathic Medicine Day gives state legislators the chance to meet leaders of the osteopathic profession in Florida. Legislators learn firsthand about the important role osteopathic physicians play in the delivery of quality health care to the citizens of Florida.
"I appreciate what you do; you heal people, and that's a very high calling," said Gov. Charlie Crist. "It's a pretty incredible thing that you do. You are literally saving people's lives."
Gov. Crist addressed students and administrators from LECOM and Nova Southeastern University, along with representatives from the Florida Osteopathic Medical Association (FOMA).
"We learned how much effort our local leaders put forth for our profession," said LECOM third-year student Tanya Perich.
The day also gives Florida DOs a chance to help gain visibility for the osteopathic profession and see just how the legislative process works.
Students also met with Florida Senate President Jeff Atwater, Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink and Attorney General Bill McCollum.

We have three instructors that teach on various days of the week. Our head instructor, Dick Stroud, is a 6th Degree Black Belt and a "shihan" (high-level instructor).
Aikido is a Martial art that emphasizes blending with the attacker, rather than confronting the attacker with hard techniques such as punches and kicks.
Beginners are always welcome to come by and observe a practice or join us on the mat. No previous experience is required; all that we ask for is a sincere desire to learn since it does require the club's effort to train a person. See our class schedule for information on when and where we practice. Also feel free to take a look at our introductory information on etiquette, what Aikido is about, its history, and principles of training.

Report: Iran warns Turkey againt intervention inside Syria
Iran has recently warned Turkey against any attack on Syrian territory, saying that Tehran will retaliate "hardly" against a possible attack on its ally, reported Monday al-Watan newspaper, which is close to the government in Damascus. "Turkey has received over the last few hours very strong warnings and the following message: 'beware if you change the playing field," said the paper, quoting an unidentified Arab diplomat.
"Ankara was preparing, alongside the United States, to intervene militarily in the crisis using the Syrian Kurdish issue as a pretext, but Iran has terminated the Turkish dreams," wrote al-Watan.
The Islamic Republic has informed Ankara that it will "harshly retaliate against any attack inside Syrian territory and that Iran would reactivate (if applicable) the joint defense agreement signed with Syria," wrote al-Watan .
This is a "clear response to recent threats by Turkish Prime Minister," the diplomat said. Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Damascus on July 26 to have "given" several areas of northern Syria to the PKK and warned that Ankara could exercise its right of hot pursuit into Syria against the Kurdish rebels.
The Arab diplomat said that "Turkey has agreed with the United States on limited border intervention in northern Syria and especially in the province of Aleppo to create a buffer zone."
The Free Syrian Army r (FSA), whose headquarters are in Turkey, has been trying to win the battle in the city of Aleppo in order to create a "safe zone" in northern Syria.
The Turkish army was continuing Monday, reinforcing its claims near the Syrian border with the deployment of missile batteries, tanks and infantry fighting vehicles in the south, according to Anatolia news agency.
Top Headlines
Iran is not going to retaliate. Turkey has a joint defense agreement of it's own with NATO. I do not imagine that it would be wise for Iran to go on the attack. If they ever do, they will pay dearly. Besides, the government of Iran knows precisely that the Assad regime is failing and it is only a matter of time. It should not be worth the risk.
lets see if Iran has more guts than Russia. It seems Putin has sold out and last week refused to alow his marines to land in syria which would have stopped the U.S. advance in its tracks.
Russia could simply deploy a squadron of advanced aircraft and allow their 10,000 marines sitting off shore to land in Syria and CHECKMATE!
Not even the hubris of Britain will face off against Russia in full battle regalia. The Russian army is more battle ready and their quick mobility and short supply lines would spell disaster for the limeys.
However, it seems father Putin is more interested in American money than he is protecting syria or Iran. One hopes that Iran realizes that after the west destroys Syria, they will quickly turn their eyes to Tehran. Will Russia also sell out tehran? Probably.

You'll see a completely different reaction to this TC deal from CP, DX and BS. It was always about what they were getting in return. It's almost unconcievable that we're able to pull this off, but I should follow my own advice. More than once I've said that there are so many factors that to into making a deal that fans could never consider or comprehend. It's like the old saying, there's a buyer for everything. In this case you have an owner who wants to sell his team and needs to reduce his liabilities. Acquiring TC gives him the cance to MAYBE get something in return (rather than just giving Okafor away). If it doesn't work out, TC will be a trade chip for them next season...or they can just ride out his deal and be done with it.Originally Posted by NBA Champs

I also like the way some of these guys just think a team is going to take 3 of our worst deals from us (without wanting something good packaged with them). The Okafor trade is mind boggling, but some of the guys posting here shouldn't let it totally skew their rationality.
Like I keep saying, we might be able to move a bad deal if we throw in a servicable and affordable player.

- Suggested NEMA Plug & Receptacle
Suitable Environment
Suitable Environment
Rated to produce an average of 100 cups per day, the Franke Flair is perfect as a self-serve office coffee station or for after dinner cappuccinos and lattes at a restaurant.
With its one-touch grinding, brewing, and frothing, the Franke Flair is simple for anyone to use, whether or not they've even seen the machine before. Labels next to each brewing button denote their functions, so users can immediately see which button to press for a cappuccino, latte, or espresso. Cleaning and maintaining this Franke espresso machine is also simple, although it does require some training to ensure these processes are properly completed.
- 2 separate thermoblock boilers for brewing and steaming
- With an available integrated steaming and frothing unit, this Franke commercial super automatic is capable of brewing cappuccinos and lattes at the touch of a button.
- If you wish to attach an outside milk source to the Flair, you can purchase a Franke MilkMate which distributes cold milk from a refrigerated box to make steaming and frothing completely automatic.
- A separate steam wand allows you to froth or steam milk manually with the Flair and a dedicated hot water wand lets you dispense water for tea or amercianos with ease.
- Featuring an LCD digital display, the Franke Flair prompts you when the bean hoppers or reservoir need to be refilled and when to run cleaning or descaling cycles.
- 2 bean hoppers and grinders help you keep 2 different kinds of coffee on hand.
- The Flair's adjustable cup spouts accommodate cups up to 6" in height.
- NSF and UL approvals ensure compliance with health regulations.
- Dimensions
- 20"H x 17"W x 20"D
Feature Details
Manual and Auto Frothing Capabilities
The Franke Flair comes with a manual steam wand for creating your own steamed and frothed milk, but is built with an autofrother that can be activated at any time when it's connected to an outside milk source. A milk refrigeration attachment can be purchased to activate this feature, and makes it possible for users to simply press a button to get a cappuccino or latte dispensed into their cup instead of needing to froth or steam their own milk separately.
Programming Options
Each of the Flair's 8 brewing buttons can be programmed to create any combination of coffee and milk products. You can choose liquid volume amounts for both products, as well as determine if milk is dispensed before, during, or after the coffee portion of the drink is finished brewing.
Grinder Details
With 2 bean hoppers and grinders, this Franke commercial espresso machine can have 2 different types of coffee ready to brew at any time. Each hopper holds ½ lb of coffee beans, but with the purchase of hopper extensions, each hopper can have a maximum 1 lb capacity.
Built-in Water Reservoir
Perfect for a break-room or other office location, the Franke Flair has a built-in 5.5-liter reservoir. Its large capacity makes refilling infrequent.
Daily Maintenance
- Although the Flair will run a preprogrammed rinse cycle after each frothing procedure, it is recommended that you remove the 2 internal milk devices and clean them daily to remove any additional milk build-up.
- So you don't have to keep checking, the Flair's LCD digital display will alert you whenever the bean hoppers or water reservoir need to be refilled.
- When you're using the manual steam wand to froth or steam milk, it is recommended that you wipe down the frothing wand with a damp cloth immediately afterward. In addition, you should direct the wand toward the drip tray and open the steam valve to release steam and expel any milk that may be inside the frothing tip.
- The Flair's internal dump box holds 40 pucks of spent grounds. When it has reached its capacity, a message will appear on the LCD display to alert you that it needs to be emptied.
Periodic Maintenance
- Messages will appear on the Franke Flair's LCD display when you need to run descaling and cleaning cycles. It is important to complete these procedures as they help to remove oils, residues, and particles that can build up inside the machine over time.

Jack's has replacement Small Engine Carburetors and Carburetor Parts for most major 2-cycle Small Engines. Whether your carburetor is made by Walbro, Zama, Tillitson, Nikki or another manufacturer, you've come to the right place! Jack's can help you with Carburetor Parts for your Small Engine Carburetor Adjustment, or Carburetor Rebuild, or we can supply you with complete replacement Small Engine Carburetor.
The basic function of a carburetor is to allow for fuel and air to mix in a regulated environment to create a combustible vapor that is then supplied to the cylinder. Dirt particles from the fuel and air can cause deposits that clog the narrow pathways inside the carburetor. There are gaskets and O-rings within the carburetor that over time can shrink. This shrinkage can cause fuel and air leaks, which will also affect engine performance. Jack's carries carburetor kits, primer blubs, and replacement gaskets for most major 2-cycle Small Engines to stop those leaks and get you back to peak performance.

|All Children's Speech Language Pathology Pediatric Feeding and Dysphagia Program
Eating, swallowing and growing well are things most of us take for granted. For some infants and children, however, this does not come easily at all. An estimated 25% of the pediatric population will experience some type of feeding issue. For premature babies and children born with developmental disabilities, this incidence climbs even higher, based on their early entry into life and the medical challenges they may face. Infants may not be able to eat on their own safely, compromising weight gain, health and overall development if left unchecked. Early identification, appropriate and effective treatment, well-coordinated care, and family education and support are key to addressing these issues.
Why choose the Speech Language Pathology Pediatric Feeding and Dysphagia Program at All Children's Hospital Johns Hopkins Medicine?
All Children's Speech Language and Feeding Department is dedicated to providing the most advanced, evidenced based care for the education, prevention, identification and treatment for feeding and swallowing disorders in infants and children and for supporting families in this endeavor as well. As part of a comprehensive medical program tied to a 259 bed pediatric hospital with one of the largest and highest acuity level neonatal intensive care units in the southeastern United States, our program and our highly trained pediatric dysphagia speech language pathologists (SLPs) are experienced and uniquely qualified in dealing with the feeding and swallowing issues of the most medically challenging children and their families.
Feeding and swallowing issues are extremely complex. The swallowing anatomy and physiology of children is different from that of adults and is constantly changing. Therefore, therapeutic techniques that are applicable to adults are not necessarily effective or appropriate for children, and techniques that facilitate feeding at one stage of a child's development may not be effective at a later stage. Additionally, children are not always able to communicate the specific symptoms they are experiencing and may refuse to eat when there is an unidentified, underlying issue. Of all the allied health care professionals, SLPs are best trained to understand the intricacies of infant oral anatomy and swallowing function. A pediatric speech language pathologist with comprehensive training in all aspects of feeding and swallowing and the associated medical issues is vital to accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. At our main campus, as well as at each of our outpatient care centers, feeding services are provided by select Speech Pathologists who have master's level education and who have undergone rigorous training to differentially diagnose and treat a variety of complex feeding issues to improve growth, safety and /or overall nutrition for children ranging from preterm babies to school age. Our SLPS are trained and experienced in the feeding issues associated with various medical conditions which may include, but are not limited to, the following:
Outside of a pediatric hospital system, few other therapists have the exposure to and the experience with the variety, complexity and numbers of the infants and children seen for feeding and dysphagia at All Children's, and few have the same degree of access to the equipment, resources and other specialists that contribute to the comprehensive care needed by these children.
How are feeding and swallowing problems identified in infants and children?
Infants and children may exhibit a variety of symptoms indicative of a feeding or swallowing problem, some of which are more obvious than others. An infant or child who demonstrates one or more of these issues may be a candidate for a feeding and/or swallowing evaluation:
What happens during a Feeding Evaluation at All Children's Hospital Johns Hopkins Medicine?
Feeding evaluations through our program provides a comprehensive clinical evaluation during which an infant's or child's feeding and swallowing abilities are assessed.
A speech language pathologist specializing in feeding and dysphagia will:
Outside of a pediatric hospital system, few other therapists have the exposure to and the experience with the variety, complexity and numbers of the infants and children seen for feeding and dysphagia at All Children's.
Specialized feeding evaluations are available to assist specific populations and concerns:
Infant Bottle and Breast Feeding Evaluations
Evaluating feeding and swallowing in infants is really a subspecialty of pediatric dysphagia and only those with an additional level of training are adequately equipped to provide the expert care needed. A knowledge of infant anatomy and physiology, reflexes, behavioral states and regulation, forms of nutrition and intake requirements, feeding equipment, feeding position, suck/swallow/ breathing patterns and coordination, support strategies, feeding transitions and other developmental changes is necessary to provide effective services to infants and their families. Our feeding program insures that those therapist assigned to evaluate infants are well prepared with the latest education and resources. Additionally, we also recognize the enormous benefits afforded to infants through breast feeding. Just as risk factors can impact bottle feeding, breastfed babies can encounter feeding and dysphagia issues that interfere with breast feeding as well. Our SLP staff will work closely with lactation consultants and families who desire to breast feed but are encountering unresolved difficulties to determine if infant's oral's oral musculature and/or sucking and swallowing are contributing to breastfeeding issues. Once identified, SLPs can provide therapeutic techniques or further recommendations to assist in addressing bottle feeding and breast feeding issues.
Acute Care Feeding and Swallowing Evaluations
For preterm infants to older infants and children hospitalized with a variety of acute and chronic medical conditions, our acute care SLPs work closely with nurses, physicians and other professionals to assist infants and families to identify and treat feeding and swallowing concerns that may contribute to medical issues in order to improve adequate and safe oral intake to support their medical management and facilitate discharge. They work to prepare families with the feeding techniques and to set them up for the outpatient services as needed so that they will be better able to feed their children successfully once they return home.
Acute Care Follow-up Feeding Evaluations
Acclimating to life at home with a premature and/or medically involved infant following discharge from the hospital may lead to further challenges. The family is accustomed to a supportive hospital environment and is now faced with the challenge of feeding their infant on their own. Infants who demonstrated feeding and swallowing difficulties while they were hospitalized are followed closely after they are discharged from All Children's Hospital through our acute care follow-up feeding evaluations. Speech pathologists complete a follow-up feeding evaluation scheduled shortly after discharge to address any feeding issues and insure babies continue to eat well once they are home. They support families in using recommended therapy techniques and feeding materials, problem solve issues encountered at home, assist in feeding transitions, and determine if more regularly scheduled outpatient feeding treatment is indicated, helping insure the infant's continued feeding progress and safety.
Oral Pharyngeal Motility Studies (OPMS)/Videofluoroscopic Swallow Studies (VFSS)
When swallowing is a concern and requires further evaluation, Oral Pharyngeal Motility Studies (OPMS), more commonly known as Videofluoroscopic Swallow Studies (VFSS), are the "gold standard." This evaluation is completed in the main hospital building in our Radiology department. Following a clinical evaluation of feeding and swallowing skills, the speech language pathologist works together with the physician assistant and radiology technician under the guidance of a radiologist to complete the study. The infant or child eats or drinks food or liquid with barium in it, and then the swallowing process is viewed on an X-ray. This allows viewing of the oral and pharyngeal anatomy and more complete analysis of the oral, pharyngeal and upper esophageal phases of swallow. This study will provide information regarding aspiration or risks for aspiration, as well as oral and pharyngeal delays (residue, pooling, timing, nasopharyngeal reflux, etc) and other specifics about the nature of a child's swallowing disorder. Adaptations to facilitate improved swallowing for any areas of concern can be tested for effectiveness.
The influence of feeding equipment, bolus size, food consistency and rate of presentation also can be determined. Following the completion of the study,
How are feeding and swallowing disorders treated in children?
All Children's Speech Language Pathology and Feeding Department manages a large number of feeding and swallowing referrals. Given the complex needs of the variety of infants and children seen in our program, we know that "one size does not fit all." Therefore, we individualize treatment plans for each child and offer a continuum of service delivery models to meet their needs. In all of these programs, our dysphagia therapists work closely with many other involved professionals, including nutritionists, occupational and physical therapists, lactation consultants, developmental specialists, nurses and physicians to assist families in coordinating services to facilitate continuity of care and optimal outcomes. For some children, a one-time feeding and swallowing evaluation may be all that is needed to get them on track. The speech language pathologist will work with the family to demonstrate specific techniques and provide them with a home program and later follow-up as needed. For other children, a period of more direct treatment may be needed.
Feeding and Dysphagia Therapy
Feeding and dysphagia therapy goals are identified and established based on our comprehensive evaluations. Therapy frequency may range from once per month to two or more times weekly for hour sessions. All therapy is individualized to meet the needs of the patient and their family. Parents and other caregivers participate in the sessions with hands on practice and coaching to empower families and maximize progress and carryover. Intake and weight gain are closely monitored to check progress. Goals for safety and meeting nutritional needs are prioritized.
Tube Weaning
The number of tube-fed infants and children has significantly increased in recent years. Children with a medical history of tube feeding can have some of the most challenging feeding problems. Often they don't know what it feels like to be hungry or full. They may also have oral motor and sensory problems, and inexperience with feeding and feeding behaviors. Even when they are medically able to eat by mouth, the transition to oral feeding can be a challenging one. For children who are medically ready to eat orally but are having difficulty weaning from their feeding tube, we work closely with nutritionists and physicians to systematically assist families in the tube weaning process. Based on the individual, this may occur in more traditional, outpatient programming. For particularly challenging cases, more specialized programming may be needed.
Happy Mealtimes: An Intensive Feeding Program
All Children's Intensive Feeding Program is one of the few programs of its kind in the country. This premier program is led by speech pathologists with specialized training in pediatric feeding to assist children over 18 months with some of the most complex feeding issues. The four week, intensive program is designed to improve the oral intake of children who want to wean from their feeding tubes as well as the intake of those who don't have a feeding tube but are at risk for not meeting their nutritional needs. Patients and families are seen four times daily for feeding therapy while also receiving complementary therapies to address their complex needs. One on one parent training is provided to assist parents in managing aversive behaviors and using specific strategies to help their child become a successful oral eater. Our speech pathologists work together with a team of professionals that includes a pediatric nutritionist (to assist with caloric/nutritional needs) and a pediatric occupational therapist (to assist with sensory, motor and self-feeding concerns). This intense program is often successful when other less intensive feeding programs have failed because of its well trained staff, intensity, focus on family involvement, and close coordination of services. Families have traveled from around the country to access the expertise made available through this program. Followed-up with patients and families after discharge from the four week program continues for a 12 month period to monitor intake and weight gain and insure continued success and progress.
