A group of us decided to spend a night on Langkawi and found this hotel advertised as 4 star with a super special of AUD$60 a night per room. The photos looked great so thinking we had scored the bargain of the century off we went.
On arrival it all looked wonderful and after a ridiculously long time to check in we were off to our rooms.
1st Problem - when we got out of the lift (with broken hand rail) onto our floor the signage for room numbers did not show ours. After wandering around aimlessly for several minutes we ultimately found our rooms whilst noting stained and water damaged foyer carpet. The rooms were quite spacious and appeared clean but were quite dated, light fittings and switches were hanging loosely from the walls and the bathrooms were quite drab with mould in places.
TV reception was not great.
2nd Problem - We ventured off to the pool to cool off and grab a drink. Three staff behind the bar and 15 minutes to get a beer , coke (as they had run out of lemonade) and one cocktail. 45 minutes to get pool towels which we requested and still we assume they were for us as they were placed on the counter of the pool hut on the opposite side of the pool to us.
The pool needed to be vacuumed and there were several broken tiles, none of the water features were turned on, we assumed they did not work.
Problem 3 - if you want a taxi arrange it yourself as the reception staff either did not understand us or won't get you one.
Problem 4 - Room service you have to request more than twice and even then it still may not turn up.
Problem 5 - Nothing is provided in the room not even a cotton ball, teaspoon or water.
Problem 6 - No hot water. Spoke to reception whose response was there wasn't any and to perhaps try the bath instead.
Positives - hardly heard a plane even though right next to airport and a comfy bed.
It appears that once this was a lovely hotel but they have no money so cannot maintain it.
All in all what did we expect for AUD$60, not a lot but I will say that I do not understand where the 4 star rating has come from as we were staying in a 4 star in Penang and it was 100% better than this.

How to Prevent Bloating in Your Clay Body
With the holidays recently celebrated, we all may have become more familiar than we would like with a different kind of bloating, but today, let's focus on bloating in clay bodies. Bloating is defined as a firing defect in which blisters form within a clay body, causing large lumps on the surface.
In today's post, an excerpt from our free download Successful Tips for Buying and Using Pottery Clay: How to Select the Right Clay, Estimate your Clay Needs, and Test Clays for Better Results, Dave Finkelnburg explains the causes of bloating and shares how you can prevent this unsightly defect in your work.–Jennifer Harnetty, editor.
A Case of the Blues: All You Ever Wanted to Know About Cobalt But Were Afraid to Ask
In today's post, an excerpt from the "Technofile" department in Ceramics Monthly, Dave Finkelnburg discusses the many possibilities that are possible with the multifaceted little colorant we call cobalt. Plus he shares some sweet cobalt glaze recipes.
Techno File: Four Ways to Reliable Red Ceramic Glazes
In today's post, an excerpt from our latest free download, the 2011 Clay Workshop Handbook: Knowledge and Techniques for the Pottery Studio, Dave Finkelnberg explains four ways to get great red glazes and shares four fabulous red glaze recipes, from low-fire to high fire reduction.

How Glazes Melt: In Search of the Elusive Eutectic
Phases are specific forms of materials. The most familiar phases are solid, liquid and vapor. Any phase of a material is identical in composition and structure in all parts of that phase. For instance, a glass of water is the liquid phase of H2O, top to bottom; if it weren't, we'd call it something else, like ice if it were solid (structural change), or lemonade if it had lemon and sugar dissolved in it (compositional change).

Remember Me
The Gaslight Anthem :: 10.15.09 :: Terminal 5 : New York, NY
Skip ahead to a Thursday at Terminal 5 where The Gaslight Anthem was headlining.
Terminal 5 is a sprawling 40,000 square foot venue, the design of which is less modern concert venue than right-angled, industrial opera house. The vertical orientation of the room creates awesome sight lines from the two wrap-around mezzanines, which put concertgoers practically on top of the stage. Even at capacity (3,000), Terminal 5 is one of the most comfortable of the major Bowery Presents venues.
The first of three opening acts was the Oregon-based punk trio Broadway Calls, followed by former D Generation frontman Jesse Malin, whose ego completely eclipsed his band's performance (I lost count of the number of times that he reminded the crowd that he was, indeed, Jesse Malin). The third and final supporting act was Murder By Death, a quartet out of Indiana with a sound that falls somewhere between the Misfits and Johnny Cash. Murder By Death's set was by far the highlight of the somewhat protracted opening portion of the show.
A wave and a smile from Fallon and they were off with "High Lonesome," a foot stomping, high-energy, post-punk song that sent most of the packed house off the rails. By the time they reached the first chorus the Terminal 5 security staff were busy catching the bodies of crowd surfers at a rate of about one every seven seconds (to their credit, they were well prepared for the audience and seemed only to be concerned with peoples' safe return to the floor). Gaslight followed with "Casanova, Baby," a romantically reflective rockabilly anthem. The band played their most recent album in its entirety with the exception of "Meet Me by the River's Edge," which has not been a staple of recent shows.
From the opening drum roll of "High Lonesome," the sell-out audience danced with reckless abandon. One of the most astonishing aspects of a Gaslight Anthem live show is that it seems as if every single body in the room is moving and every mouth open and singing from start to finish. The artist-audience relationship was not one of blind worship but rather one of mutual respect and passion. There is a nostalgic urgency to this music, which is reflected both sonically and lyrically. Fallon's stage presence can best be described as humble and gracious. At one point, he stared out at the crowd and looked pleasantly baffled. Leaning into the mic, he said with a tone of surprise, "Look at all you people." For all of his band's many successes - not to mention tireless touring - Fallon still appears to truly enjoy every second he has to share with his audience.
As the show neared its end it didn't wind down, but in fact reached a crescendo. The ever-expanding pit in the center of the floor grew so large for the final encore that from the balcony all one could see was an undulating mass. It was beautiful. It should be noted that while proper pit-etiquette (i.e. people pick each other up off the ground and don't try to injure others) may seem all but dead at most shows that warrant this sort of response, it was alive and well on this night.
For their final encore, the band returned to their first album and their punk roots with "We're Getting A Divorce, You Keep The Diner." At song's end, the entire crowd chanted the final refrain over dissipating distortion and summed up what could easily be the mission statement of The Gaslight Anthem: "Stay hungry, stay free, and do the best you can."

Letter of the day: This just in ...
Bob Upshaw, Naples
This just in ...
We are approaching the 50th anniversary of an event that could have changed the world, as we know it — the Cuban Missile Crisis.
This was a perfect example of what can happen when cooler heads prevail. President John F. Kennedy opted for a safe and sane negotiation with the United Soviet Socialist Republic (Nikita Khrushchev) by blockading Cuba from Soviet ships bringing in more missile parts and threatening to sink the ships if they continued to Cuba.
If the president had elected to bomb the Cuba sites, he was sure that would have killed thousands of Cuban civilians, the Soviets would launch missiles against our European allies and we were sure to lose all of Germany.
I was in the U.S. Army Security Agency at the time and was able to witness, on a "need-to-know" basis, things that were going on without public knowledge that would make your hair stand up — events that if made public at the time could have caused panic to the general population.
This event brought home to me the fact that if you leave international problems to the experts, things can be worked out. Politicians running for office, and talking heads in the news media, do not need to try and dictate foreign policy
I can see a similar event unfolding if some of our news media could have their way.

City Workers Help Ducks Walk To Water
By editor
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. It was a classic make-way-for ducklings scenario. Syracuse city worker Gary Clifford saw a mother duck leading a dozen little ones down a busy city street. So he followed them in his truck, stopping traffic along the way. Until they walked across a storm drain and four ducklings fell in. Syracuse.com reports a city crew was called. It scooped them up, calmed the panicked mama duck, and took the entire feathered family to a creek. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Thomas McKay (fur trader)
Thomas McKay (1796–1849) was an Anglo-Métis Canadian Fur trader who worked mainly in the Pacific Northwest for the Pacific Fur Company (PFC), the North West Company (NWC), and the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC). He was a fur brigade leader and explorer of the Columbia District and later became a U.S. citizen and an early settler of Oregon.
Thomas was born at Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario in 1796,[1] or perhaps 1797 or 1798.[2]
His father was the fur trader Alexander MacKay. His mother, from a marriage 'à la façon du pays' (in the style of the country), was a Métis woman named Marguerite Wadin,[3] the daughter of a Cree woman[4] and Jean Etienne Wadin, a Swiss fur trader.[5]
Wives and children[edit]
Thomas McKay had at least three wives during his life. His first wife was Timmee, a Chinook woman, daughter of Chief Concomly. McKay's second wife was an Umatilla woman about whom little is known. At Fort Vancouver in 1838 he married his third wife, Isabelle Montour, daughter of Nicholas Montour Jr. and Susanne Humpherville. He had six sons and two daughters altogether.[6]
Pacific Fur Company[edit]
In 1811 Thomas McKay accompanied his father on the Tonquin to the mouth of the Columbia River, where the Pacific Fur Company's Fort Astoria was built.
Thomas, who was about 15 years old at the time, was at Fort Astoria when his father Alexander McKay was killed in late 1811 at Clayoquot Sound during the Tonquin incident.[6] In 1813 Fort Astoria and all other Pacific Fur Company assets were sold to the North West Company. Thomas McKay, like a number of other Astorians, joined the NWC at that time.
North West Company[edit]
Thomas McKay joined the North West Company after the failure of the Pacific Fur Company in 1813.
Between 1815 and 1819 Thomas was in the Red River Colony and fought on the side of the North West Company and the Métis people against the Hudson's Bay Company. McKay fought at the 1816 Battle of Seven Oaks. By 1819 he was back on the Columbia.[7] Within two years the entire North West Company was merged into the Hudson's Bay Company.
Hudson's Bay Company[edit]
After the North West Company was merged with the Hudson's Bay Company in 1821 Thomas McKay became an HBC employee, despite having fought the company in the Red River Colony war.[7] In 1824 Chief Factor John McLoughlin was appointed superintendent of the Columbia Department. He and his family moved that year to Fort George (Astoria) and then, once it was built, Fort Vancouver, the new headquarters of the HBC Columbia Department. In 1811 McLoughlin had married Marguerite Wadin, widow of Alexander MacKay and mother of Thomas McKay. Thus in 1824 Thomas's mother and stepfather moved across the continent to the very place Thomas was living.[4]
In the 1820s the HBC sent trading, trapping, and exploring parties south into the Willamette Valley and beyond, eventually reaching California (Mexican Alta California at the time). In 1825 Thomas McKay and Finan McDonald led one of these exploring expeditions south of the Columbia River.[8] He led or accompanied several others.
From 1826 to 1828 McKay took part repeatedly in the Snake Country brigades under Peter Skene Ogden. During this time Ogden explored not only the Snake River basin, but the Deschutes River and Blue Mountains of Oregon, as well as the Klamath Lake region, and the Great Salt Lake and its tributary the Weber River.
George Simpson, head of the HBC, had decided to try to over-exploit the Snake Country and create a "fur desert", for the political purpose of keeping American trappers and traders away. McKay, along with other former NWC trappers such as Peter Ogden, Finan McDonald, Francois Payette, and others, "took up Simpson's orders with a fanatical zeal, declaring war on fur-bearing animals south of the Columbia," as historian Richard Mackie put it.[8]
In 1829 Thomas McKay took part in Alexander McLeod's expedition to California.[7] McLeod's party reached as far south as the San Joaquin River and was the first of what became an annual trapping expedition to California, known as the Southern Party. The route from Fort Vancouver to the lower Sacramento River became known as the Siskiyou Trail.[8]
In 1836 McKay led a HBC Southern Party brigade to the Pit River region of California.[8] In 1840-41 McKay and Michel Laframboise were brigade leaders of the Southern Party to California.[8]
In 1832 McKay was given charge of an HBC farm at Scappoose. Within a year he had moved to and settled at Champoeg.[7] He may have retired from the HBC at this time, although he continued to work for the company off and on for many years.[6]
McKay lead a brigade to the Snake Country in 1834, reaching into the far southeast of today's state of Idaho. John Kirk Townsend, who was accompanying an American expedition to establish Fort Hall, described Thomas Mckay's party at the future site of Fort Hall in 1834 as consisting of 17 French Canadians and "half-breeds", and 13 Indians (Nez Perce, Chinook, and Cayuse). Townsend also noted that McKay enforced the HBC policies brigade order, decorum, and strict subordination, as well as the prohibition of trading whiskey to the Indians. All these things, Townsend noted, were in stark contrast to the behavior of American fur traders in the region.[8] Fort Hall was part of an effort by Nathaniel Jarvis Wyeth to break into the Columbia region and compete with the HBC. Politically the entire Oregon Country was free and open to British and American ventures, but the HBC was able to maintain its dominance in the region through various barriers to entry tactics such as dumping and predatory pricing. Wyeth's attempt to compete in the early 1830s was quickly made untenable by the HBC. In the case of Fort Hall, Thomas McKay built the rival post of Fort Boise, which supported an increased HBC effort to turn the Snake Country into a "fur desert" and drive the Americans out. The strategy worked and by 1837 Wyeth had abandoned the region and sold his company's assets, including Fort Hall, to the Hudson's Bay Company.[8]
In 1834 McKay met the American missionary Jason Lee at Fort Hall. McKay guided Lee from Fort Hall to Fort Vancouver, then helped Lee select the site of Willamette Mission.[7]
Thomas McKay remained active in the Snake Country until 1838. He spent most of 1839 at Champoeg.[7]
Later life[edit]
Thomas McKay spent most of his later years between his farms at Champoeg and Scappoose.[1] At some point he became a United States citizen.[2]
In 1840 he drove more than 3,600 sheep and 661 cattle from California to Fort Nisqually for the HBC.[7]
In 1841, members of the overland party of the Wilkes Expedition met and breakfasted with McKay at his Champoeg farm. George Colvocoresses of the expedition wrote about McKay, saying that he is "one of the most noted individuals in this part of the country. Among the trappers, he is the hero of many a tale."[7]
McKay raised and led a company of militia which saw active service during the Cayuse War of 1848.[2]
In September 1848 he guided a train of 50 wagons to California.[7]
He died in 1849, and is buried in an unmarked grave in Scappoose.[6]

The setting is a dusty Southern town during the Depression. A white woman accuses a black man of rape. Though he is obviously innocent, the outcome of his trial is such a foregone conclusion that no lawyer will step forward to defend him-- except the town's most distinguished citizen. His compassionate defense costs him many friendships but earns him the respect and admiration of his two motherless children.

Dwarf planet Ceres gets weirder as NASA's Dawn spacecraft gets closer. Check out the latest shots from the cosmic paparazzi.
NASA's Dawn spacecraft cozies up to the fascinating dwarf planet Ceres and sends back the best look yet at its oddball bright spots.
Dawn has taken the closest pictures yet of the dwarf planet and started to illuminate the nature of its most glaring mystery.
Good timing allowed Rosetta's imaging system to witness a dust jet shooting out from the surface of Comet 67P.
Ceres comes into sharper focus as the Dawn mission settles into an up-close study of the dwarf planet's craters and mysterious bright spots.
Dawn's first color map of Ceres shows the dwarf planet's mottled surface hints at a vibrant and active past.
The Dawn space probe will take a much closer look at Ceres' mystery lights now that it is in orbit around the protoplanet.
The Rosetta spacecraft casts some shade on the surface of its comet buddy, creating an otherworldly shadow selfie from orbit.
The latest images from NASA's Dawn spacecraft reveal a second mysterious bright spot on the surface of Ceres. Perhaps it's a giant Ceresian welcome sign?

The son of immigrants (a father from Cuba and a mother from Mexico), State Senator Jose Menendez grew up working in his family's small business. Senator Menendez graduated from Central Catholic High School before earning degrees in Business Administration and Latin American Studies at Southern Methodist University.
As a family man, devoted husband of 20 years, and father of three Senator Menendez believes in the power of education to transform families and communities. He established himself as a champion of increased funding for public education, higher teacher pay, and affordable higher education during his nearly 14 years serving the families of the 124th District in the Texas House of Representatives. As a freshman he passed a greater ratio of his legislation than any other member of the Bexar County delegation. In only his second term he was entrusted with appointments to the powerful Appropriations Committee and Calendars Committee. Since that time Senator Menendez distinguished himself as a commonsense problem solver who gets to the table where decisions are being made and works with all sides to get the job done for Texas families.
As a professional Senator Menendez has helped tens of thousands of families realize the American Dream of homeownership through his work at Stewart Title. His work ethic and business success led to his rapid promotion from a local commercial marketing representative, to National Director for Multi-Cultural markets, to a Vice President of the National Title Services division in less than 15 years.

New York, N.Y., –On the heels of the decision last month by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to allow continued use of the chemical bisphenol-A (BPA) in food packaging, a new report today, "If Food is in Plastic, What's in the Food?" in the Washington Post, produced in collaboration with the Food & Environment Reporting Network, looks at how people are exposed to BPA and other chemicals through food-contact plastics and explores the potential impacts on human health. The article, by reporter Susan Freinkel, author of Plastic: A Toxic Love Story, examines the emerging science on such chemicals which may interfere with natural hormones and be harmful at extremely low levels of exposure.
BPA and phthalates are among the 3,000 chemicals that the FDA has ruled safe if they get into food in very low amounts. The report notes that a number of these chemicals used in food processing and packaging materials have shown up in food. Some scientists question their safety, in part because these chemicals have not yet been studied for their cumulative effects. In addition, research proves difficult because companies often consider their formulas proprietary.
"Finding out which chemicals might have seeped into your groceries is nearly impossible, given the limited information collected and disclosed by regulators, the scientific challenges of this research and the secrecy of the food and packaging industries, which view their components as proprietary information," Freinkel writes. "Although scientists are learning more about the pathways of these substances - and their potential effect on health - there is an enormous debate among scientists, policymakers and industry experts about what levels are safe."
Freinkel explains how plastic food packaging is a major source of these potentially harmful chemicals, which most Americans harbor in their bodies. For instance, studies have shown phthalates—a family of chemicals used in lubricants and solvents and which imparts flexibility to plastics—passing into food from processing equipment and food-prep gloves, gaskets and seals on non-plastic containers, inks used on labels—which can permeate packaging—and even the plastic film used in agriculture.
She highlights a forthcoming study that found the phthalate DEHP in many of the 72 different grocery items sampled. Studies have associated low-dose exposure to this chemical with male reproductive disorders, thyroid dysfunction, and subtle behavioral changes.
Last month, the FDA denied a petition to ban BPA, saying in a statement that while "some studies have raised questions as to whether BPA may be associated with a variety of health effects, there remain serious questions about these studies, particularly as they relate to humans and the public health impact."

I know that I must use an
ElementHost to display a WPF control in a WinForm, but as the WPF control is third party software and it only comes with an XML file and a DLL file.
The control is AvalonEdit, I added both the
ICSharpCode.AvalonEdit.xml and
ICSharpCode.AvalonEdit.dll files to my project, and I went to
Project -> Add Reference and added the DLL as a reference. Now I can access the
ICSharpCode namespace in my code, all of the classes and methods are exposed, but from this point I am unsure how to actually use the control in my WinForm.
I was expecting a WPF control to appear in the Solution Explorer, but it does not. I tried adding an
ElementHost control to my WinForm anyways, but when I try to Select the Hosted Content, no controls appear, so it doesn't know about my WPF control. How can I use the AvalonEdit WPF control in my WinForm?

" Hi there, Just to let you know the items arrived today :) Everything is perfect and was stoked about how quickly we received it. Standby for regular orders as daughter is now making her own show shirts. Many Thanks "
It seems I am surrounded by Sew-On Jewels at the moment. A sew-on seige if you like. You know that feeling when you still have things to unpack from when you went away, yep ah. I have a whole bunch of Swarovski Sew-On Jewels to put away to their respective homes after having them on show down at the Salsa Congress - some need to go back into their sample trays, some into the deleted box (the one where all old crystals like to go to retire and make up our 'stash'), and some into stock. Then, two feet down the bench we have a mini-mountain of newly arrived Sew-On Jewel items to be photographed and processed before they can go live on the site. Then, there's more in the pipeline, which is just as exciting! Oh how we do love our sew-on jewels here at Rhinestonz & Beads.

A Free Playlist of Country Christmas Favorites
As the Christmas holiday approaches this week, I pulled together a Spotify playlist of my 30 favorite Christmas tunes for Country music fans to enjoy while wrapping last-minute presents, entertaining with family or heading out to your holiday get-togethers. This list spans the genre's generations with classics from the likes of Jim Reeves, Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton, Gene Autry and Kitty Wells and updated holiday hits from Toby Keith, Kellie Pickler, Carrie Underwood, Little Big Town, Brad Paisley and many more. Did I miss your favorite? Let us know in the comments!
I also tossed the music video of Kenny Rogers and Parton's "A Christmas to Remember" at the end of this post. The song isn't available on Spotify, but that's okay because the music video is so pricelessly unique that you just need to watch it to get the full experience. Check out Kenny and Dolly singing together in a ski lodge filled with stiff mannequins from a 1980s Christmas special. There's no explanation needed - it's just one of those quirky Christmas moments! »Read Full Blog Post

Alice Cooper
A curtain of gold sparks blowing in the cool Lake Michigan breeze greeted Alice Cooper at the BMO Harris Pavilion Sunday night at Summerfest. Sporting a dapper black-and-red striped suit (tails and all), the 65-year-old rocker slashed a black cane through the air before tossing it into the crowd at the end of the opening "Hello Hooray." »Read Full Article
Pitbull draws small crowd, but that doesn't stop party

Crowds at Summerfest led to long lines, jammed exit
Melanie Leadingham, a 22-year-old Oshkosh native and longtime Summerfest regular, got to the festival grounds at 7:30 p.m. Saturday to find long ticket lines running from the festival gates to the street.
Leadingham said Sunday that she stood in line for about two hours before "it got really bad." A teenage girl pushed Leadingham down for asking that she stay in line. Leadingham got back up — only to have someone else behind her push her up against the glass of a ticket window. »Read Full Article(99)

By David Costa
A couple of weeks ago, America celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day. I spent my day off from work thinking about what a great humanitarian Dr. King was, but also about all the other "special" days we celebrate. It seems as if there is a special day for everything.
So, I did a little research. Did you know that there are over 50 annual special days that are recognized by presidential proclamation? In addition, there are over 60 days Americans celebrate that are not presidentially recognized. These days consist of everything from Star Wars Day to Ice Cream For Breakfast Day.
It got me thinking. Why is there no Researcher Day?
I understand that everything can't be a Federal holiday or observed by presidential proclamation, but isn't researchers' contribution to humanity worthy of even an unofficial day? At the very least, there isn't one person on earth who hasn't benefitted from taking an aspirin or cold tablet. Why do we think Record Store Day and CAPS LOCK DAY are more important than celebrating researchers?
To be fair, the National Postdoctoral Association recently celebrated its fifth annual National Postdoc Appreciation Week (NPAW). Although I applaud their efforts, NPAW doesn't pertain to all researchers, just a subset of researchers. Why not celebrate all researchers, from graduate students to researchers who have been at the bench for years?
2014 headlines were filled with high-profile near misses at federally funded research laboratories. We couldn't help but be reminded of how researchers put themselves at risk on a daily basis. Don't these heroes deserve a day? Isn't recognizing the people who devote their lives to fighting cancer and AIDS, or those who've enhanced our lives with better technology more important than having ice cream for breakfast?
Official or unofficial, regarding researchers I say, let's show appreciation to those who truly deserve it and "call it a day."
Communication is no longer simple. Smartphones, texting, emails, and social media have made communication more accessible, but is our communication as effective? Is our communication reaching our targeted audience?
Take group texts for example, someone sends a singular text out to their entire contact list rather than sending a personal message. Sometimes this can be an effective way to get important information to multiple people. But what about those people who the text doesn't really pertain to? Not to mention, receiving everyone else's responses can be pretty annoying and interruptive. Oftentimes people begin ignoring these texts. Is this then effective communication?
The "group text" mentality has found its way into our laboratories and institutions. Researchers are often barraged by bulk emails about training that don't even apply to them. What happens? Researchers begin to ignore all such emails and miss ones that are pertinent. All of a sudden, a researcher may find themself delinquent in compliance or training. In an effort to make communication simpler or easier, we sometimes make it less effective.
How then can EHS effectively communicate with thousands of researchers? Personal phone calls or emails are too labor intensive and "group" emails often are ignored. What is the solution?
The BioRAFT solution is to make communication easy and exact. BioRAFT registers researchers by their hazardous exposures and job activities, matching training to researchers' specific needs. In addition, BioRAFT automatically sends researchers training notifications and reminders. Communication in BioRAFT is not only effective, but efficient, as EHS saves time from manually calling or emailing thousands of researchers.
BioRAFT's effective and targeted communication does not stop at training. EHS can target researchers based on department, building, laboratory, job activities, or even job title. Whether they are promoting various internal safety campaigns or notifying laboratories about inspections, BioRAFT allows EHS to target specific audiences easily and efficiently.
To see how BioRAFT makes EHS communications easier and more effective, register for our free webinar on January 27th.
