Considering its vast community of style-focused residents, Dalston is poorly served for salons along Kingsland Road – with only Blue Tit and Bleach to its name. Now Stunt Dolly deserves some of that fashionable footfall, but it's also got a refreshingly welcoming feel. 'A lady came in for a wash and a trim the other day,' says head stylist Dean Tooley as he gives my hair a powerful lathering and my ears a thorough gossiping.
'It was only when I started scrubbing that I realised she was wearing a wig. She had total alopecia, but I thought: Why shouldn't she sit down and enjoy an hour in the salon? I gave her hair a lovely trim, a fab blow dry and sent her out the door smiling.'
Stunt Dolly may be in hipster central, but it caters for everyone, not just the dip-dye types that hit the strip (although they do a mean ombre too). Unusually for a style salon – if not for the area – it also does dreadlocks, wefts and wigs. If you buy a hairpiece from nearby Pak Cosmetics, they'll position it for you for a tenner. Washing and wig services take place on the good-looking ground floor, which is all original floorboards and reclaimed art deco fittings from Retrouvius.
Downstairs, where the dries and nails are carried out in a pair of darkly painted rooms, has more of a disco feel. The reasonably priced, full menu of hair services come with a retro roller dry rather than a blow dry (for soft waves.)

A fantastic unisex salon in Dalston, that caters for everyone. Very friendly and welcoming staff but most importantly top-standard hairdressers.
Cannot recommend highly enough. I have visited most salons in East London and Stunt Dolly are a cut above the rest. Give them a go!
Awesome venue, cool guys and absolutely great at what they do. Love it love it !
Awesome place and staff! Chilling place to get your haircut - have been coming here for the past 3 years.
Amazing friendly staff, great service, the stylist recommend great products but are never pushy, plus a very cute dog - what's not to love?
Always feel welcome and the sharpest staff ever.
This salon is amazing. The staff are so friendly, and ready to give advice and creative direction on style, cut and colour.
I love it here what can I say moooooore!!!
Amazing hair dresser that use cruelty free products!!
I love this place. Quality in every respect, people, styling and an amazing environment to kick back and relax whiilst having your hair cut. Couldnt reccomed more highly. Thanks Dean and David for creating Stunt Dolly.
Fun, relaxed salon, AMAZING with curly hair.
Best place in London! Dean is s genius
I love this shop, one of my favorite shop in London.
I love everything about this salon!
I have been coming to Stunt Dolly since it opened, when Dean sorted out a horror bleach job on my hair (courtesy of another salon, which shall remain anonymous). Now I wouldn't go anywhere else!
As soon as you walk in everyone is friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is great - very relaxed. It doesn't have that snobbery that can sometimes come with east London (I'm definitely not cool enough for that.)
I am very fussy with my hair but I always trust Dean's judgement and I have also had other stylists when Dean is away who are great. I have long hair and often ask for Dean to do something different with the finish - he has done fish plaits, up dos and high pony tails for me and they all looked amazing!
Overall a fantastic salon - David and Dean are a great team and I couldn't recommend it more.
Better than Tinder!
Thanks to Dean's fabulous cut and colour, I am now literally chasing them off with a stick!
Thank you Dean, you are truly better than Tinder
Good beer too....
Having moved from another City, I panicked trying to find any salon that would be able cut my hair to the same standard as my previous- I am glad to say I've finally found it! They fit me in at the last minute and Teesha was such a friendly stylist, making me feel welcome. She actually listened to what I wanted and it turned out exactly how I asked- she calmly cut my long, thin hair with even layers using scissors (rather than a razor comb- a nightmare for thin hair) and gave me advice on creating volume to my chronically flat hair. I initially thought Stuntdolly would be all hipster fashion and no substance- but they were welcoming and I will definitely be coming back! Great prices too- note they don't accept tips on card! Bring cash!
I always have a great time in dolly. I am quite fussy with my hair and wouldnt let anyone but Stefanie cut and colour it :) the atmosphere in the salon is so nice and relaxed, it really is great fun getting your hair done there. Thank you team dolly, and overall steffi - you guys rock!
Had a great time in stunt dolly!!
Stefanie helped me to make a really great decision, she colered my hair from brown to gray! I wasn't sure about how it will look like... One of the best decisions that i have ever made thanks to stefanie!
Also the rest of the crew is really cool and friendly!
I love dolly!
Thank you guys
Had a late business meeting in Dalston Junction and I needed an urgent short haircut. According to the good references via timeout I called the salon and I was lucky that Stefanie still had time for me. She was super friendly to me and made a great haircut.
Many thanks to Stefanie
By the way: very nice salon and good whiskey!!
Since I started going to Stunt Dolly I haven't considered going anywhere else. It's the combination of the environment and professionalism that make me go back time and time again. Simon is my hairdresser and I'm always more than satisfied with the outcome, something that rarely happened to me before (previously, I had to wait a week or two in order to get used to my new haircuts).
I have short hair and I like experimenting with different lengths and cuts. Either haircut or colour change, the experiment always succeeds and I'm always satisfied. I show him a photo with the haircut I like or explain to him what I have in mind, he always delivers it. He doesn't "blindly" copy my suggestion but he adjusts it to my hair and face's needs and limits, which makes the result amazing!
Couldn't recommend Stunt Dolly and Simon more!
Had such a great experience at Stunt Dolly! I'm quite fussy with my hair and Simon did such an amazing job, he knew exactly what needed to be done and I LOVE the finished product. Could not recommend him high enough =)
I'm not usually fussy with my hair, it's short but I like it feminine, I usually drift somewhere when I feel the need and on this occasion I ended up at Stunt Dolly with a guy called Simon. Drifting off into a snooze while Simon talked about himself I was left with a dull looking boys haircut, hmmm what will my boyfriend say. Be careful where you drift I certainly won't be returning.
It takes a long time to find a good hairdressers in London, but Stunt Dolly is without doubt the best in East London. Simon has been cutting my hair for quite a few years now and I trust him implicitly. Just like all the Team at Stunt Dolly, he is welcoming and friendly and is an extremely skilled hairdresser. I always leave very happy and relaxed. I can't recommend Simon or Stunt Dolly highly enough.
A beautiful place with a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Very friendly team.
Simon who has been cutting my hair several times is always attentive to my requests, can also offer his own suggestions when required and delivers perfectly.
Everytime I trust him with my hair, I leave feeling fresh and happy with the result.
Once a month (on average) Stunt dolly cut my hair. I've been going here since they opened, and consistently i've had a very personal, and professional experience in all aspects, from the cut, wash, to the music and atmosphere. They have always had a unique range of products, and now they have organic products too. Despite moving out of London, I still return to Dalston, and one reason is to get a cut here!!!
Cannot say enough good things about Stunt Dolly, Dean is a wonderful hairdresser, I always leave there smiling. Great cuts, great colour work, I won't let anyone else near my mop!
This isn't a hair cut - it's hair therapy! Dean is completely amazing, he gave me the best haircut I have ever had, was totally honest and I completely trusted his judgment. Not only do you get an amazing haircut at Stunt Dolly, but the whole atmosphere is wonderful - it's like walking into your best friend's living room! Love it there - I'll never go elsewhere for a haircut!
I visited Stunt Dolly for the first time after recently moving into the area, the salon's repertoire of great reviews on Timeout and The Dalstonist persuaded me to try them out and I was particularly excited by the promise of popcorn! The atmosphere in the salon is warm and comforting, much more welcoming than the clinical harshness typical of most! The interior design could easily be that of a café/bar, and I was pleasantly surprised to be offered a drinks list when I arrived! A lovely touch, the drinks selection makes you feel relaxed, whether you are there for a quick trim or a completely new look. Dean quickly got to work and within 20 minutes my straggly locks had been replaced! He understood I wanted a low maintenance cut that would last a while, he was also very happy to share his wisdom and I made the most of my visit to pick his brains about colour and updo's. Once he'd finished my trim, Dean insisted on whipping my hair up into a style we'd discussed so I could try it with my dress when I got home! Stunt Dolly far outdid other salons I have frequented in the past and I'm looking forward to becoming a regular!
I used to hate getting my hair cut because I never felt the hairdressers I went to listened to what I actually wanted. The first time I went to Stunt Dolly nearly a year ago, Katy listened to me and took on board the fact that I am totally rubbish at doing my own hair. I walked out with a great cut that I was really happy with and it stayed looking good until my next cut. Dalston has been crying out for a great salon like Stunt Dolly. I love having these guys on my doorstep - they're so friendly and welcoming. AND they feed you free popcorn, beer, wine and whisky. What more can you ask?
Absolutely love this place! For starters the place looks uber cool - the place to be seen on the Dalston drag! But they don't take their coolness seriously. As soon as I'm through the door I'm met with a neighbourhood-friendly, laid-back attitude and if I'm lucky an incredibly cute little dog! It's worth stopping by just to see the art installations in the window! I'm then offered popcorn and beer/ wine and sit reading magazines i can never justify buying for myself. As for the haircut, I always see Hannah who exudes relaxed sandi cool and cuts my hair with meticulous precision. I love it every time! Finally, the whole beautiful little package is wrapped up by the fact I'm charged the price of a guys cut rather than a girls. Important because I've been getting dyke-do's for over 10 years and always get charged the extra for a girls despite it's just like a guys...all the do's are equal in the eyes of Stunt Dolly!
After many years of dreading every hair appointment due to the fear of getting the 'Rachel' cut and being served crap tea I decided to venture to Stunt Dolly in Dalston after hearing great things about the quality of service and staff. I was very impressed from the get-go - lovely, relaxed atmosphere, great coffee (and wine!), great head massage and the friendliest, most attentive staff ever. I had my haircut and also had an ombre style colour job which looks incredible! Its safe to say Stunt Dolly have cured my fear of hair appointments and I'll definitely be making it my regular. I'd definitely recommend Stunt Dolly to anyone that wants not only a great hair do but a lovely afternoon with great people also.
I agree with all the reviews here. Stunt Dolly is a brilliant salon. I can't believe that the wine, beer, hot drinks and home-made popcorn haven't been mentioned yet. On a serious note, I first had my hair done by Dean when he worked at a different salon. After years of searching for a good hairdresser in London, Dean was the best I'd come across. I always used to leave salons not completely happy with what I had done or with a huge urgency to go home to wash and restyle my hair myself. With Dean doing my hair, I ramble to him about what I want and somehow he manages to completely understand it and make it happen. He challenges what I think and knows what will suit me. Even when I don't completely agree with him at the start, I leave the salon feeling really glad I listened to him. I am so happy he opened his own place. On top of having great skills as a hairdresser, I know he has very high standards for the people he works with. Everybody at Stunt Dolly is professional, friendly and very good at their jobs. David is front of house and I think he deserves a huge accolade too. A lot of salons, especially if they look very cool and trendy can feel a little intimidating. David is warm, friendly and will always have a chat to make you feel welcome and relaxed. There's a real family feel to the salon and it's just a pleasure to go and hang out there. The huge bonus is that you leave with great looking hair. I can't recommend Stunt Dolly enough. Go now!
After a lot of bad experiences with previous hairdressers I had given up trying to find one. When my friend recommended a stylist called Katy at Stunt Dolly in Dalston I thought I'd pluck up the courage to go and try it out. The warm welcome from my stylist put me at ease. Katy was really friendly and sweet and listened to exactly what I wanted. That's what I found most annoying in previous hairdressers I had seen, they just didn't listen to what I really wanted. Katy completely understood me and I had the best haircut I have ever had. I really can't recommend her enough. The salon is really lovely inside too which is an added bonus.
Stunt Dolly really is a great salon. Style-wise, it definitely fits into the achingly fashionable Dalston scene, but two key things set it apart. Firstly, it's the friendliest salon I've ever visited - co-owner David sets the tone with his warm, effusive welcome, the team are all smiles, and having a cute house puppy just adds to the homely, welcoming atmosphere. And secondly, owner Dean is simply the best colourist and cutter I've ever had - I cannot recommend him highly enough. He's a consummate professional with amazing technical skills, but what's great is the way he translates the client's wishes, gives advice and then delivers a flattering, personal style. My hair has never looked better, and Stunt Dolly have a loyal customer for life!
I have lived in London for 8 years now and have searched high & low for the perfect hairdresser. This makes me sound ultra fussy or like someone with tricky hair but that's not the case. I am just the opposite. I don't 'do' my hair. I wash & go! 3 years ago I met Dean and have been a loyal client since. He LISTENS and DELIVERS, every time! He cuts so well that I can go months and months before it needs another cut. When it comes to colouring we discuss what we both think but ultimately I leave it up to Dean to decide and I'm always happy with the result. Love me some Stunt Dolly!!!
Its taken me 10 plus years to find a hairdresser like Stunt Dolly…..they are fantastic and I cant recommend them highly enough. I left feeling great and keep smiling when I look at the amazing colour & highlights Dean has done. I was given great advise along with a consultation and knew straight away I was in totally professional hands. Totally brilliant….so please form an orderly queue.
Love love love this place! They now have an adorable puppy too, which makes retreats there even more blissful! Dean is amazing, I'm constantly recommending him to my friends. To me, this is the perfect hair salon!
Dean is a fantastic hairdresser and colourist, striking a perfect balance between what the client wants and his own creative input. Having visited other hairdressers in the area, including Blue Tit, Stunt Dolly is the first salon where I have left feeling totally happy. Bravo!

Another week, another painful loss for the Philadelphia Eagles. The four things that cost them against San Francisco were the offense, defense, special teams and Andy Reid.
If you think that sounds a little too general, not to mention that's basically the entire team, you'd be correct. This was a total team loss in every facet of the game. It was a total organizational failure as well.
Let's break down each generalization a little more in order for you to see where I'm going with this.

Assassin´s Creed III
Unfortunately I'm having some issues (I saw similar issues in the Editor thread mentioned as well), in that the game now crashes seconds after pressing F1. Yes, I have the right version, I redownloaded it a couple of times, followed the trouble shooting guide, running as admin etcetera but no luck so far.
The crashes don't happen without it so I can only assume it's Trainer related.
Thought I'd let you guys know. Hopefully this can be solved. Thanks for the amazing work so far guys!
EDIT: Yep it works now, thank you!

This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 08/826,167, filed Mar. 27, 1997 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,170,338, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. This application relates to VORTEX FLOWMETER WITH SIGNAL PROCESSING, Ser. No. 09/400,503, VORTEX FLOWMETER WITH MEASURED PARAMETER ADJUSTMENT, Ser. No. 09/399,898, and METHOD FOR MEASURING FLUID FLOW, Ser. No. 09/400,562, all of which are filed on even date herewith and hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
The present invention relates to flowmeters such as vortex shedding meters or swirlmeters which are responsive to a fluid flow.
Flowmeters sense the flow of liquids or gasses in conduits and produce a signal indicative of the flow. Under certain circumstances, the presence of an obstacle known alternatively as a shedding bar, bluff body, or vortex generator, in a flow conduit causes periodic vortices in the flow. The frequency of these vortices is directly proportional to the flow velocity in the flowmeter. The shedding vortices produce an alternating differential pressure across the bluff body at the shedding frequency. This differential pressure is converted to an electrical signal by piezoelectric crystals or other differential pressure devices. The magnitude of the differential pressure or electric signal is proportional to ρV2, where ρ is the fluid density and V is the fluid velocity. When the ratio of pipe diameter to the size of the bluff body is held constant, the signal magnitude is proportional to ρD2F2, where D is the inside diameter of the metering pipe and F is the shedding frequency. The vortex flowmeter produces pulses having a frequency proportional to the flow rate. In a swirlmeter, the fluid whose flow rate is to be measured is forced to assume a swirl component by means of swirl blades, the arrangement being such that the swirling motion is transformed into precessional movement to produce fluidic pulses which are sensed to yield a signal whose frequency is proportional to flow rate. See e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,616,693 and 3,719,080 which disclose examples of swirlmeters and are hereby incorporated by reference.As used herein, "vortex flowmeter" shall include both vortex shedding meters and swirlmeters.
The vortex flowmeter is a measurement transmitter that is typically mounted in the field of a process control industry installation where power consumption is a concern. The vortex flowmeter can provide a current output representative of the flow rate, where the magnitude of current varies between 4-20 mA on a current loop. It is also desirable for the vortex flowmeter to be powered completely from the current loop so that additional power sources need not be used. Thus, the vortex flowmeter measurement transmitter should be able to operate with less than 4 mA in order for the transmitter to adhere to this process control industry communication standard.
It is known to incorporate a microprocessor into a vortex flowmeter. The microprocessor receives digital representations of the output signal from the vortex sensor and computes desired output quantities based on parameters of the digital representation. For instance, a vortex flowmeter can calculate the mass flow rate through the pipe or conduit. It is desirable to provide the calculated mass flow rate approximately ten times per second. For each new calculation of the mass flow rate, the microprocessor must perform many mathematical steps wherein each mathematical step requires a number of clock. cycles, thus limiting the rate at which calculated mass flow rates can be provided. Although it would be desirable to use a more powerful microprocessor, which could perform further calculations to improve accuracy, the microprocessor would require more power than is available from the 4-20 mA industry standard discussed above.
Nevertheless, there is a continuing need for a vortex flowmeter having improved accuracy. However, sacrifices should not be made in the update rate nor should power consumption exceed the power available from the current loop.
A method and apparatus measures a fluid flow using generated vortices. A flow rate is calculated from at least the frequency of the vortices. Warnings are generated for other characteristics of the vortices and fluid measure.

FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment of a vortex flowmeter 10 of the present invention. Generally, the vortex flowmeter 10 includes a vortex sensor assembly 11 that includes appropriate mechanical and electrical elements to sense vortices 15 in a fluid 14 that flows through a conduit 16. The vortex sensor 11 is operably coupled to an electronic circuit 12. The electronic circuit 12 produces both a 4-20 mA current on a current loop 17 indicative of flow as well as a square wave output Fout having a frequency proportional to fluid flow.
The vortex flowmeter 10 includes a vortex meter housing or flowtube 22 having a vortex generator or bluff body 24 located therein. When the fluid 14 flows past the bluff body 24, shedding vortices 15 having a frequency indicative of the flow rate are produced. A transducer 26 of the vortex sensor assembly 11, preferably located at the bluff body 24, senses a pressure difference associated with the shedding vortices 15. The vortex sensor 26 can include, for example, a piezoelectric sensor. The sensor 26 has characteristics approximated by a potential source ES and a series capacitor CS. The magnitude of the output signal from the piezoelectric sensor 26 is proportional to the differential pressure, which is proportional to ρV2, where ρ is the fluid density and V is the velocity of the fluid 14, and also proportional to ρD2F2, where D is the inside diameter of the meter housing 22 and F is the shedding frequency of the vortices 15.
The output of the transducer 26 is coupled to an amplifier 28 which includes capacitor CF and a resistor RF. The amplifier 28 provides an analog output signal on line 30. The signal on line 30 is provided to input circuitry 60 including an anti-aliasing filter 62 and an analog-digital (sigma-delta) converter indicated at 64. The anti-aliasing filter 62 filters the signal from line 30 to remove unwanted high-frequency noise and performs anti-aliasing filtering.
The analog-digital converter 64 samples the signal from filter 62 at approximately 307.2 kHz and outputs a single bit datastream at 307.2 kHz which is indicative of the amplitude and frequency of the vortices 15. There are no word boundaries in the datastream. The relative number of ones and zeros, sometimes called the bit density, is representative of the signal on line 30. The analog-digital converter 64, which is preferably implemented in a CMOS ASIC to minimize power, cost, and size, is particularly suited to digitizing analog signals in the 1 to 10 kHz range, which is a typical frequency range for vortex flowmeters. The digital datastream is transmitted across an electrical isolation barrier 66 required for sensors which are grounded or have leakage current to ground. Such sensors are typically used in vortex flowmeters to reduce cost and simplify connections. The single bit datastream enables an inexpensive, compact transformer or capacitor to be used in the isolation barrier 66. Other isolation media are acceptable such as optical, piezoelectric/acoustic and magnetostrictive isolation means.
The single bit datastream is provided through the isolation barrier 66 to a digital tracking filter 68. The digital tracking filter 68 minimizes frequency quantization noise present in the analog-digital converter 64, and also converts the amplitude and frequency vortex sensor signal on line 30 into a flowmeter output indicative of mass flow. The digital filter 68 receives a noise-contaminated input signal related to flow having a fundamental frequency varying responsively to flow. The digital filter 68 filters the input signal with high pass (HP) filter characteristics and preset low pass (LP) filters to produce a filtered signal representative of flow. The frequency characteristic of the HP filter is selected from a family of preselected HP filters having different corner frequencies. In a preferred embodiment, multiple HP filters are used. A microprocessor 70 selects appropriate corner frequencies of the digital filter 68 or suitable control is provided in the digital filter 68 to select the corner frequencies. The digital filter 68 provides a signal related to the amplitude of the signal on line 30 and, which is roughly proportional to the density, ρV, of the fluid. The signal ρV in turn is used to calculate the mass flow rate M. The ρV signal is preferred over another signal ρV also available from the digital filter 68 because the digital filter 68 has removed more noise from the ρV signal. U.S. Pat. No. 5,429,001 assigned to the same assignee as the present application, and which is hereby incorporated by reference, describes in detail operation of the digital filter 68 to provide the ρV signal. U.S. Pat. No. 5,942,696 titled "RAPID TRANSFER FUNCTION DETERMINATION FOR A TRACKING FILTER", and which is also hereby incorporated by reference, discloses an alternative digital tracking filter. However, an error of approximately 5% compared to actual fluid density can exist in the ρV signal obtained from either of these digital tracking filters. This error is attributable to the fluid effects on the bluff body 24.
In one aspect of the present invention, the vortex flowmeter 10 improves the accuracy of the output value indicative of flow rate, typically mass flow rate M, by monitoring additional parameters of the fluid 14 flowing in the conduit 16 and using the additional parameters to calculate the desired output value indicative of the flow rate. In the embodiment illustrated, the temperature and the pressure of the fluid 14 flowing in the conduit 16 are measured and provided as an input 80 to the microprocessor 70. The temperature is measured with a suitable temperature sensor 82 such as an RTD (resistive temperature device) or a thermocouple that senses a temperature of the fluid 14, upstream or downstream from the bluff body 24. In the embodiment illustrated, the temperature sensor 82 is disposed in a streamlined body 84 such as an airfoil for ruggedness and to minimize pressure drop along conduit 16. A suitable pressure sensor 86 senses the line pressure of the fluid in the conduit 16. The temperature sensor 82 and the pressure sensor 86 provide output signals to suitable analog-digital converters indicated at 64 (filtering can be provided if necessary). The analog-digital converters 64 transmit corresponding digital signals across the isolation barrier 66 to a decoder 88 that, in turn, provides the signal 80 to the microprocessor 70. In the embodiment illustrated, both the temperature sensor 82 and the pressure sensor 86 are located downstream from the bluff body 24 to avoid disturbing the generation of vortices 15. In a preferred embodiment, the temperature sensor 82 is located approximately six times the inside diameter of the meter housing 22 from the bluff body 24, while the pressure sensor 86 is located approximately four times the inside diameter of the meter housing 22 from the bluff body 24. At these locations, output values obtained from the temperature sensor 82 and the pressure sensor 86 have negligible errors and can be used to calculate fluid density ρV.
FIG. 2 illustrates a flow chart depicting overall operation of the vortex flowmeter 10. The flow chart begins at step 100. From step 100, program flow can be considered as operating along parallel paths indicated at 101 and 103. In practice, the vortex flowmeter 10 executes operational steps in path 101 and performs successive iterations through path 101 before completing a single iteration through path 103. Specifically, the microprocessor 70 will execute operational steps in path 103 in the "background" wherein these steps, or portions thereof, are completed when time is available during or at the completion of the operational steps of path 101. As will be described below, the operational steps of path 101 provide, as a result, the desired output value indicative of flow, herein the mass flow rate M of the fluid 14 in the conduit 16. However, during normal operation of the vortex flowmeter 10, the accuracy of the calculated mass flow rate M is improved by correcting for temperature and pressure of the fluid 14 through the operational steps of path 103.
Referring first to path 101, at step 105, the vortex flowmeter 10 obtains the frequency and amplitude data from the vortex sensor 11, providing that data to the digital tracking filter 68 as described above. The digital tracking filter 68 then provides, at step 107, the density ρV, which is indicative of the flow of the fluid 14 in the conduit 16. Calculations performed at step 107 include applying a stored scaling constant, β, to account for differences in the sensitivity of the vortex sensor 11 and electronics 12, which can vary from element to element for a given line size, for example, �30% from nominal. Preferably, βis adjusted such that ρV substantially corresponds to PG or PL from step 110 discussed below (i.e. C is approximately equal to one). The density value ρV is then used by the microprocessor 70 in accordance with known equations to calculate the mass flow rate M (similar to that described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,429,001) at step 109. However, in this embodiment of the vortex flowmeter 10 of the present invention, the density value ρV is corrected with a calibration factor C that is calculated from the operational steps of path 103. Since the calibration factor C can be dependent upon at least one value of the density ρV, and since the calibration factor C may not have been calculated for the first iteration along path 101, the calibration factor C can be initially set to one.
Referring now to path 103, the microprocessor 70 reads at step 102 fluid parameters, such as temperature and pressure from line 80 and obtains a ρV that was calculated at 107 and that corresponds in time with the measured temperature and pressure. At this point, program flow will traverse subpaths 103A, 103B, or 103C depending on whether the fluid is a gas or liquid, or whether little or any properties of the fluid is known.
If the fluid is a gas, program flow continues along path 103A. At step 104, the microprocessor 70 calculates a compressibility factor, Z, of the fluid 14 flowing in the conduit 16. There are a number of standards for calculating compressibility factors which have been promulgated by a number of organizations such as the American Gas Association. FIGS. 3A and 3B are representative of the variation in the compressibility factor as a function of pressure at various temperatures for gasses having different constituents. Microprocessor 70 preferably calculates the compressibility factor using stored coefficients associated with a particular fluid. Since one set of coefficients is required for each of a plurality of fluids contemplated, and because the magnitude of the compressibility factor varies significantly, it is preferable to use polynomials of the form:
where Aij is a curve fitting derived constant stored in memory (EEPROM) 81, T is the process absolute temperature and P is the absolute pressure, and where i and j preferably take on integer values between 0 and 9, depending on the accuracy required to calculate the compressibility factor. A 63 term polynomial (i=0 to 8, j=0 to 6) suffices for most applications. Polynomials of this form and number of terms reduce the amount of computation over direct calculation methods, thereby reducing the time between updates of the calibration factor C and the operating power requirements of vortex flowmeter 10. Moreover, such a technique obviates a large memory to store many numbers of auxiliary constants, again saving power.
After the compressibility factor, Z, has been calculated at step 104, this value is used at step 106 to calculate a density value ρG according to the ideal gas law.
If the fluid 14 is a liquid, after step 102, program flow continues along a path 103B. The path 103B includes a step 108 where the density ρL for the liquid is calculated. The microprocessor 70 preferably calculates ρL using stored polynomials of the form:
where Bkl is a curve fitting derived constant stored in memory 81, T is the process absolute temperature and P is the absolute pressure, and where k and l can take on appropriate integer values depending on desired accuracy. If desired, since liquids are substantially incompressible, the term Pk can be omitted.
A calibration factor, C, is calculated at step 110 as a function of ρG or ρL, and ρV. The calibration factor, C, can be a simple ratio obtained from these values, or, in the alternative, can be a rolling average or a time weighted average.
Subpath 103C represents calculation of a calibration factor C wherein little, if any, is known of the fluid properties of the fluid flowing through the conduit 16. Generally, the calibration factor can be expressed as:
where Cref is an average value of the calibration factor and wherein ΔC is a small value calculated as a function of available parameters such as the pressure from the pressure sensor 86, the temperature as measured from the temperature sensor 82, ρV as calculated at step 107, or any other known parameters of the fluid, for example, the dynamic viscosity. For instance, the microprocessor 70 can calculate a calibration factor for changes of the vortex sensor assembly 11 output in stiffness or elasticity as a function of pressure and temperature. In a further embodiment, the microprocessor 70 can calculate a Reynold's Number using ρV, the velocity of the flowing fluid V (obtained from the shedding frequency), the diameter of the meter and the dynamic viscosity μ, which is a function of temperature and fluid type. Although calculation. of the Reynold's Number requires knowing the dynamic viscosity of the fluid, an approximation can be used. The dynamic viscosity can simply be a constant (ignoring any temperature effects) or can also be as a function of temperature of the form:
depending on the extent of knowledge of the fluid properties wherein Dn is curve fitting derived constant, T is the process absolute temperature and n can take on an appropriate integer value, depending on desired accuracy. Knowing the Reynold's Number, the microprocessor 70 can correct the "K Factor" and/or a coefficient of pressure on the bluff body 24 that determines differential pressure (ΔP=CPρV2). If desired, the microprocessor 70 calculates the calibration factor C using stored polynomials of the form:
where Crs is a curve fitting derived constant stored in memory 81, ΔT is the difference between the actual temperature from a reference temperature and ΔP is the difference between the actual pressure and a reference pressure, and where r and s can take on appropriate integer values, depending on desired accuracy. If desired, values for ρV, μ, mach number or other known characteristics or measured fluid parameters can also be incorporated in this equation.
Once the calibration factor C has been calculated it is then used in step 109 for successive iterations of path 101 until a new calibration factor is again calculated in the background during the successive iterations. The microprocessor 70 provides the final output value to a digital-analog converter 83 for converting the digital value to a 4-20 mA current representative of the flow. A digital communications circuit 85 also can receive the final output value for transmission on the current loop 17 using known formats. If desired, a generator 87 can also receive the final output value of mass flow and through an isolator 89 provide a frequency output Fout from a pulse circuit 95. Otherwise, the generator 87 can receive a signal 79 indicative of volumetric flow from the digital tracking filter 68. The microprocessor 70 provides suitable scaling constants to the generator 87 when Fout is indicative of volumetric flow. A display 73 provides a user interface for the vortex flowmeter 10.
In this manner, the single microprocessor 70 can be used for all processing thereby minimizing the power consumed by the vortex flowmeter 10, allowing it to be completely powered from the current loop 17. Although steps in path 103 require additional processor time, these calculations can be performed by the microprocessor 70, while still providing the desired update rate for the mass flow rate M. This would not be possible if the microprocessor 70 had to calculate the mass flow signal M solely from the density value ρL or ρG. Under those circumstances, either the update rate of the microprocessor 70 would have to be reduced to stay within available power limits from the current loop 17, or additional power would have to be provided. In the preferred embodiment, the update rate is maintained without exceeding the available power budget because steps in path 103 are performed at a rate less than the update rate of the mass flow rate M.
FIG. 1A illustrates an exemplary embodiment having two microprocessors 70A and 70B. The microprocessor 70A calculates the mass flow rate M pursuant to the flow chart of FIG. 2. as described above. The microprocessor 70B communicates with the microprocessor 70A through a data bus 71. The microprocessor 70B controls the generator 87 and the display 73, and communicates over the current loop 17 with a remote location, not shown, through the digital-analog converter 83 and the digital communications circuit 85. FIG. 1A illustrates one embodiment where multiple microprocessors 70A and 70B are used to perform operational tasks. Embodiments having more than two microprocessors, or where the operational tasks have been delegated differently are also within the scope of the present invention.
Another aspect of the present invention includes calculating additional corrections or providing alarms for volumetric as well as mass flow for both liquids and gasses using the measured pressure and/or temperature. For example, temperature compensation for the "K factor"(ratio of vortex shedding frequency to volumetric flow rate) due to thermal expansion of the meter housing 22 can be provided. As an example, if the meter housing 22 is made from stainless steel, temperature compensation for K factor due to thermal expansion is approximately 0.3%/100� F. Flowmeter 10 would store both a nominal K factor and a correction factor based on the thermal expansion coefficient and the measured temperature. The microprocessor 70 would then use both the nominal K factor and the correction factor to calculate output flow value.
Another correction includes calculation of pressure and temperature changes in viscosity of the fluid 14 to determine a Reynold's Number correction to the K factor. This correction is particularly useful for higher viscosity liquids flowing at low flow rates in small conduits. Hence, both a nominal Reynold's Number and a correction factor (based on temperature, pressure, and fluid type) would be stored and used by flowmeter 10.
In yet another embodiment, an alarm is provided when incipient cavitation is present in the vortex sensor 11. Incipient cavitation results when the pressure of the fluid 14 is near or below the vapor pressure of the fluid. The following equation represents the minimal allowable line pressure, PL five diameters downstream from the meter 22:
where ΔP equals the upstream to downstream pressure drop across the bluff body 24 (Δρ=CX ρV2, where CX is a proportionability constant), A is a constant associated with a localized minimum pressure point on the bluff body 24, PVAP is the vapor pressure of the fluid 14 stored as an equation or as a table in memory 81, and B is a constant indicating a threshold margin near the vapor pressure. For instance, constant A can have a value approximately equal to 2.9 (at five diameters downstream), while constant B can have a value approximately equal to 1.3. Constants A and B may vary depending on the actual location of the measured pressure. Preferably, the microprocessor 70 performs this calculation when the amplitude signal from vortex sensor 11 drops below expected values. If the microprocessor 70 calculates that the line pressure of fluid 14 is approaching the vapor pressure, an alarm can be provided over line 17 or at the display 73 indicating cavitation. Otherwise, an alarm can be provided indicating an error in the vortex flowmeter 10.
In another embodiment, the microprocessor 70 uses the measured pressure and temperature data to calculate if condensation is occurring in the gasses flowing through the vortex flowmeter 10. In such a situation, the microprocessor 70 can provide an alarm indicating operation in the gas condensation region.
In an embodiment for a steam application, the microprocessor 70 calculates the quality of steam by comparing the density value ρG from the measured pressure and temperature data to the density value ρV obtained from amplitude measurements. The microprocessor 70 provides a signal indicative of steam quality over the current loop 17 to the remote location.
In yet another embodiment, microprocessor 70 calculates the dynamic pressure on the bluff body 24 from the density ρL or ρG and the fluid flow rate, or such amplitude can be inferred from the output from sensor 11. If the dynamic pressure exceeds a predetermined value dependent on a maximum allowable value beyond which fatigue and/or structural damage can occur to the bluff body 24 or the sensor 11, the microprocessor 70 can provide an alarm signal on line 17.
In a further embodiment, the microprocessor 70 compares the values of ρV with ρL or ρG and provides an alarm if a difference between these values exceeds a preselected threshold to indicate failure or degradation of sensor 11 or electronics 12. In addition, the microprocessor 70 can monitor the signals obtained from the temperature sensor 82 and the pressure sensor 86 to ascertain if the signals are outside of usable ranges. If either of these signals are outside the usable range, the microprocessor 70 can stop calculating the calibration factor because values obtained may be in error. In this situation, the microprocessor 70 can provide an alarm indicating that mass flow is only being calculated via path 101 wherein the calibration factor C has been set to a default value such as one or the last usable value. Likewise, the microprocessor 70 can monitor the ρV signal from the digital filter 68 and calculate the mass flow based only values of ρG or ρL if the signal of ρV appears to be in error. The microprocessor 70 can provide a different alarm if the values ρG or ρL are only being used.
Each of the foregoing calculations would require additional processor time from the microprocessor 70 and may be accomplished only with a slower update rate on the calculated corrections and/or alarms because of the multi-tasking of the microprocessor 70. Generally, these corrections are small and would not need updating faster than a 10 to 20 second rate. If desired, an integer multiply function can be provided in the ASIC to assist in these calculations, particularly if the update rates of the correction calculations exceed 20 to 30 seconds. Also, with the integer multiply function in the ASIC, the pressure and temperature values can be corrected for linearity, zero offsets and temperature offset compensation.
In another embodiment, data from the temperature sensor 82 and the pressure sensor 86 can be used to calibrate a new vortex sensor 11 in the event the vortex sensor 11 needs to be replaced. Specifically, if the vortex sensor 11 is replaced, the microprocessor 70 compares the value of ρV with either values from ρG or ρL and adjusts the scaling constant β in memory 81 that equates ρG or ρL to ρV so that C remains substantially equal to one. The microprocessor 70 has then calibrated the new vortex sensor 11 and operation continues pursuant to FIG. 2.
In an alternative embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 4-7, the temperature sensor 82 and the pressure sensor 86 are mounted to the meter housing 22 between connecting flanges 22A and 22B. The temperature sensor 82 is mounted in the streamlined body 84 located upstream or downstream from the bluff body 24. The streamlined body 84 is also illustrated in FIGS. 6-7 and includes an inner recess 102 for receiving the temperature sensor 82, for example, a type-N thermocouple, mounted therein. The streamlined body 84 mounts to the meter housing 22 and extends through a recess 103. Referring also back to FIG. 4, a signal line 104 connects the temperature sensor 82 to the electronics 12 located in a transmitter housing 106.
In this embodiment, a support tube 108 supports the transmitter housing 106 on the meter housing 22. The pressure sensor 86 is disposed in a connecting module 111 between the support tube 108 and the transmitter housing 106. Fluid pressure is provided to the pressure sensor 86 through a passageway 110A having at least one port 112 opening to the fluid 14 between the flanges 22A and 22B. In the embodiment illustrated, the ports 112 are located in the streamlined body 84. The passageway 110A includes an inner bore 113 and a tube 115. Preferably, the tube 115 includes a loop 115A for a condensation trap. A valve 117 is provided in the passageway 110A to allow replacement of the pressure sensor 86 in the field.
In yet another embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 8 and 9, the temperature sensor 82 and the pressure sensor 86 are mounted to the meter housing 22 between connecting flanges 22A and 22B. The temperature sensor 82 is mounted in a streamlined body 184 located downstream from the bluff body 24. The streamlined body 184 is also illustrated in FIG. 5 and includes an inner recess 186 for receiving the temperature sensor 82, for example, a type-N thermocouple, mounted therein. Referring also back to FIG. 8, a signal line 188 connects the temperature sensor 82 to the electronics 12 located in a transmitter housing 190.
In this embodiment, a support tube 192 supports the transmitter housing 190 on the meter housing 22. The pressure sensor 86 is disposed in the transmitter housing 190. Fluid pressure is provided to the pressure sensor 86 through a passageway 194 having a port 196 through the meter housing 22 and opening to the fluid 14 between the flanges 22A and 22B. In the embodiment illustrated, the pressure port 196 is positioned proximate the bluff body 24, in the embodiment illustrated upstream thereof.
In the foregoing embodiments, the streamlined bodies 84 and 184 are oriented substantially parallel to the bluff body 24. FIGS. 10 and 11 illustrate another orientation of the streamlined body 184. The streamlined body 184 is oriented such that a longitudinal axis 184A of the streamlined body 184 is non-parallel to a longitudinal axis 24A of the bluff body 24. Non-parallel orientation minimizes forces from the shedding vortices exerted upon the streamlined body 184. The axis 184A is oriented substantially orthogonal to the axis 24A; however, as appreciated by those skilled in the art, other non-parallel orientations can be used. For instance, other embodiments can include orienting the axis 184A relative to the axis 24A to form an acute angle 193 between the axes 184A and 24A. In a further embodiment, the acute angle 193 is in the approximate range of 30 degrees to less than 90 degrees.
It should also be noted that the streamlined body 184 need not be disposed on the diameter of the flowtube 16 (as illustrated) but rather, can be disposed off the diameter of the flowtube 16 as illustrated by dashed lines 195A and 195B by way of example. In addition, one streamlined body design may be used in flowtubes of varying diameters so as to minimize manufacturing costs. Generally, the streamlined body 184 is of sufficient length to dispose the temperature sensor 82 at an immersion depth suitable to obtain an accurate temperature measurement within allowable tolerances. As appreciated by those skilled in the art, the immersion depth is further related to the velocity and density of the fluid and the heat transfer capabilities of the fluid, streamlined body 184 and flowtube 22.
As stated above, the temperature sensor 82 can be disposed upstream from the bluff body 24. FIG. 10 illustrates location of a streamlined body 197 and temperature sensor 82 upstream of the bluff body 24. Upstream location of the temperature sensor 82 can realize a more compact structure in view that the measurement of fluid temperature in the shedding vortices is generally inaccurate. The streamlined body 197 is substantially similar to the streamlined body 184. As described above with respect to the streamlined body 184, the streamlined body 197 can be disposed in a non-parallel orientation with respect to the bluff body 24. In this manner, potential disturbances of fluid flow are minimized.
The location of ports 112 and temperature sensor 82 in FIGS. 4-7 and 10-11, the port 196 and temperature sensor 82 in FIGS. 8 and 9, and other convenient locations in the meter housing 22 for obtaining the temperature and pressure of the fluid can include corrections due to the dynamic pressure head (proportional to ρV2) and temperature recovery factor:
where CS is the specific heat at constant pressure and r is a recovery factor). The microprocessor 70 uses the measured pressure and temperature in the meter housing 22, the measured density ρV and calculated density ρG or ρL, in appropriate thermodynamic, energy and momentum equations to correct for errors due to measurement locations. For instance, pressure in front of the bluff body 24 is related to the pressure at four diameters downstream from the bluff body 24 by the following equation:
where P is the pressure ahead of the bluff body 24, P4D is the pressure four diameters downstream from the bluff body 24, CP is a pressure loss coefficient that varies with Reynold's Number, ρ is the density of the fluid and V is the velocity of the fluid. Measurement locations between the mounting flanges 22A can provide better mechanical arrangements for the meter housing 22, less sensitivity to location errors, less conduction errors on the temperature sensor, reduced interference with vortex shedding frequency, and reduced plugging of pressure ports. In this manner, the vortex flowmeter 10 can be assembled entirely at the factory, reducing the overall size and cost of the flowmeter 10, and making installation easier since additional penetration points in the conduit are not needed.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to preferred embodiments, workers skilled in the art will recognize that changes may be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Working for Sustainable European Fisheries
Sharing knowledge and learning from experience
European fishing has a rich history which stretches back generations. Yet the last decades have seen declining fish populations and a great loss of associated livelihoods.
The European Union recently adopted major policy and funding reforms in a commitment to set fisheries on a path toward sustainability. Environmental Defense Fund supported two key processes that led to the reformation of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) and the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF), both of which will help the EU's environmental, social and economic goals for the fishing industry.
The primary objective of EDF's work in Europe is to partner with fisheries' stakeholders to implement the new regulations and funding mechanisms in the new EMFF. The fund includes smart funding mechanisms to foster sustainability through improvements in science and data collection, monitoring, transparent design processes, co-management, and avoiding subsidies that could result in perverse incentives to overfish.
With the legislation now in place, EDF staff are working to help demonstrate how these ambitious goals can be achieved on the water through the creation and provision of tools such as our EU Discard Reduction Manual as well as expert facilitation of exploratory dialogues to understand the fishery's unique properties in the context of the new regulations.
We are focused on finding appropriate co-management and rights-based management programs in select fisheries where fishermen and fish stocks would benefit most. Rights-based management tailored to local circumstances is working all around the world to rebuild fish populations and help fishermen maintain stable and profitable businesses, EDF is able to share the learning from these fisheries, arrange direct exchanges and support fishers in finding the best program design for their fishery.
How we work in Europe
Environmental Defense Fund encourages fishermen working under different management systems to meet each other, exchange ideas, and discuss the common management challenges they face.
EDF takes a pragmatic approach and works with fishermen and tries to involve them. That has enormous potential at the EU and national level.John Goodlad Chair of Fisheries Innovation Scotland
We utilize many types of partnerships to advance fishing rights in Europe including:
- Fishermen exchanges, which are valuable learning opportunities for fishermen.
- Membership in regional fisheries advisory councils including the North Sea and Baltic Sea Advisory Councils where our active membership allows us to both listen and contribute to a stakeholder-driven process.
- Partnerships with local experts including John Goodlad, an international fisheries expert based in Scotland, and Peter Olsson of the Swedish Fishermen's Producer Organisation, who serve as our fisherman representatives in the UK and Sweden respectively.
- Discussion groups, government consultation processes, and meetings which provide excellent opportunities for us to present our tools, share learning, and take a solutions-based approach to the challenges ahead.

New jobs headed to Tunica County
A second German company will join Schulz XP in what is shaping up as a true industrial zone in North Tunica County.
Crankshaft manufacturer Feuer Powertrain Gmbh & Co KC will build a 156,600 square foot plant near Robinsonville, investing $140 million and creating 300 jobs over five years.
Feuer projects first production in early 2015, with construction starting early next year. The plant, located just across Kirby Road from Schulz, will be the company's first in the U.S.
The announcement came in a groundbreaking event Tuesday, Sept. 24, that was hastily moved from the plant site to the Tunica RiverPark, after an early downpour created a muddy morass in the former cotton field.

TRENTON - New Jersey Senate Democrats on Wednesday rebuffed Gov. Christie's plan to balance the budget by cutting pension-fund payments, proposing instead to raise taxes on the state's highest earners.
The $34.4 billion plan for the fiscal year beginning July 1, presented by Senate President Stephen Sweeney (D., Gloucester) and Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg (D., Bergen), would create a 10.75 percent tax bracket for those with incomes of more than $1 million.
That rate was last in effect in 2009 under Democratic Gov. Jon S. Corzine. Christie vetoed an extension of it when he took office in 2010.
Those who make between $500,000 and $1 million, currently taxed at a rate of 8.97 percent, would pay 10.25 percent.

Mellow Mushroom Asheville
Renovations to the The Mellow Mushroom Asheville have been completed!
The old bar was completely demolished and rebuilt. We opened the wall up, added custom cabinets, and made the taps more visible and accessible to create an overall more inviting bar environment. The bar also has been equipped with a Three dimensional wooden mural of the Blue Ridge Mountains, including the Asheville skyline. Also, did I mention that it changes color?!
The old wall murals were either replaced or revamped, including features such as color changing LED lights. In addition, wooden inlays where placed over existing throughout the tiled floors.
A complete renovation of the kitchen was carried out to increase production of oh so yummy pizza. All hail the mushroom!
Riceville Rd Private Residence
The residents of this contemporary home approached us with some very specific objectives. One of the most fun was they were going to be building the home themselves and we were to help them navigate the world of construction. We became not only their architects, but also their teachers, tool lenders and sometimes therapists.
The polished concrete floors run throughout the 1600 sqft home. Each niche and corner designed with specific function. The house has an open floor plan with a private master suite. The master suite contains the master bath, bedroom and closet and is contained in the smaller volume of the two. The larger volume houses the living room, kitchen, guest suite, and mech./laundry room.
The exterior of the home is sheathed in corten panels, cypress siding and an accent wall of bark panels that extends from the interior to the exterior at the entry foyer.
The interior focused on clean lines and large windows to draw your eye out to the view of the blue ridge park way that snakes it way along the mountains on the horizon.
Check out more pictures on our flickr account.
Under Construction
Hello everyone, just thought we'd update you on some of our projects. A lot is happening currently, projects are either being permitted, just starting, or already under construction. Here's a look at some that are under construction.
Just getting started, the Toth Residence is a contemporary home atop horizon hill. The home has a steel structure and an absolutely fantastic view.
Also just finishing up, the Monahan Residence was a formerly abandoned structure. We modified the existing framework to create something new. Chris Kaselak at MA|CK Constructors is the general contractor on this project.
The Yero Residence is a master suite addition to a home out in Mars Hill. Solid Rock is in the process of beginning construction.
Copper Crown, a reference to the building's metallic roof, will be a restaurant on Tunnel Road located in HomeTrust Bank Plaza.
Some of our projects don't have any pretty pictures yet, but we plan on getting some soon. These projects are:
- 10 Biltmore, located in historic Biltmore Village, is above the Cantina restaurant. It was an existing office space, but will be converted to two Apartments . Goforth Builders are in charge of building the residential space.
- Hi-Tech is a home electronic supplier which is moving into a new two story Morten pre-engineered building. The space will serve as a show room and office storage for the company.
- Sandhill Baptist Church is building a new church that includes a fellowship hall, daycare, and sanctuary.
Office Warming Party
Well the last finishing touches are being made to the office, and we are very excited to have you come see it.
Drop by Friday May 29th from 2 p.m. – 7 p.m. to take a look and grab a snack!
Our new office is located at 9 Walnut Street, Suite 3B, Asheville NC 28801.
Introducing Number 005.
Hello everybody.
I'm the newest member of the office. They call me Number 005, the fifth person to work for Form & Function, but you can call me Kimberly. I graduated from Appalachian State University with a degree in Interior Design and a minor in Entrepreneurship. So, at F&F I'll be focused on the gut, the heart, to me the most important part of the building, the interior.
The Interior Design program at ASU focused mostly on commercial design, but residential design was not left out. I have always felt a pull towards residential design but the key to creating smart commercial design is to give the space a personal feel, its own identity. An identity people can connect with. My senior year at ASU my final project lasted the whole year. We were allowed complete freedom to create whatever we wanted to create. I designed an elementary school by renovating an old mill building.
Click link below to check out my senior project in the link below: Berryhill Elementary School
Lobby Rendering:
Classroom Rendering:
On my first day, as soon as I walked in and was shown my desk Emili, the project manager, spent the next 2 hours with me getting down to the nitty-gritty details about the designs in progress and the buildings under construction. Right away I was a part of the team, someone who was connected in to the firm. Like the concept of Berryhill Elementary School, Evolving is Learning, I know I'm going to learn so much here and grow from that knowledge.
If you want to truly get to know F&F, then learning through me probably is the best way because that's what I've done the first few months on the job. Form & Function is a small firm with just the four of us working hard for our clients. We have a very open office where we can pop around, for me, ask questions, and check out what others are working on. We laugh all day long but take our work very seriously. All around, I laughed and learned a lot in these few months of working at F&F.
Random Facts I learned about my coworkers this week:
-is obsessed with coffee way more than anyone else I know.
-wants a pet pig and platypus.
-used to be on a Rollar Derby team that had its own reality T.V. show!
-had a canyon in her back yard growing up.

At the CHA National Conference the My Future Care website was launched. The web based resource provides information to help ensure people think about their health care needs and discuss them with others. The resource provides a framework that is consistent with the CHACode of Ethical Standardsfor Catholic health and aged care services, but has been designed to be appropriate for people of all faiths and none.
Representatives from Catholic Health Australia (CHA), HESTA and James Cook University joined Apunipima Cape York Health Council in far north Queensland on a visit to the remote communities of Napranum and Aurukun. A health workshop followed which identified approaches by which the Catholic health and aged care sector can help close the health gap for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Cape York.
With the support of HESTA, St Vincent's Health Australia, Mater Health Services, and Cabrini Health were in attendance for the three-day community visits and workshop. Site visits included the soon to be opened Apunipima primary health care centre in Napranum and newly opened centre in Aurukun.
"Apunipima's objective is to achieve health equity across all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Cape York," said Paula Arnol, Apunipima's Acting Chief Executive Officer.

Independent report confirms essential aged care funding to be cut by 11%
Health consumers to pay more as Budget initiatives bite
"CHA is concerned that consumers are going to pay more for necessary health care following tonight's Federal Budget announcements," said Suzanne Greenwood, CEO of Catholic Health Australia (CHA).
"The cuts to the pathology and diagnostic imaging bulk billing incentives announced last December are likely to see consumers paying higher out of pocket costs for blood tests and diagnostic services as early as 1 July this year."
The extension of the freeze on MBS rebates for a further two years to 2019-20 will place further pressure on out of pocket costs.
Many private health insurance members will also face higher premium costs from 2018 as a result of a three year freeze in the indexation of the income tiers thresholds.
There are also likely to be further cuts to a range of workforce and other programmes that support services such as drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Aged Care Budget is a 'mixed bag'
Catholic Health Australia's CEO, Suzanne Greenwood has tonight described the 2016 Budget as a 'mixed bag' for aged care.
The Budget includes new measures to curb growth in funding for nursing and personal care in residential care, while increasing the viability supplement for rural and remote aged care services and providing additional funding to further strengthen MyAgedCare.
Nursing and personal care funding in residential care will be reduced by a further $1.2 billion over the next four years mainly by halving the indexation rate for the Complex Health Care Domain of the Aged Care Funding Instrument (ACFI).
"This Budget marks the third time in almost as many years that growth in care payments under ACFI has exceeded Budget estimates," said Mrs Greenwood.
"This is further evidence that ACFI is failing as a funding tool."

With their sixth and final pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, the Chicago Bears selected Boise State offensive tackle Charles Leno Jr.
Leno was a three-year starter for the Broncos. He started one year on the right edge and the last two years at left tackle. He doesn't have ideal size (6-3, 302) for an NFL tackle, which is why many believe he might be better fit along the interior.
Leno was a high school tight end who quickly developed into an offensive lineman. He's durable, finishing his career with 39 consecutive starts.
Leno's arms are 34 3/8 inches, which is extremely long. Here is Leno's scouting report by Nolan Nawrocki:
"Long-armed, soft-bodied college left tackle most ideally suited for a role as a versatile, swing backup in a zone-blocking scheme. Has not learned how to translate his athletic ability and explosion to the field, yet possesses enough length, agility and untapped talent to find a role for a patient offensive line coach. Could warrant interest inside as a guard or center where he has help on each side."
