Very cool!!
WBSD needs to provide a live stream!
Another amazing thing! Didn't expect a Chicago polskie!
NOBODY expects a Chicago Polski! (Oops! Python reference.)
Jim, in a lot of cases station can not stream because of government regulation and streaming rights to the content. Two examples that I know of 96.9 WDRV plays complete albums some days but can not stream them due to regulations. 620 WTMJ has the rights to broadcast the Brewers but Yahoo owns all Major League stream rights.
Still cool web site
Well, right. The radio station has to provide a stream…

Leveraging Technology for a Meaningful Event
The landscape of event planning is shifting. Event creators are challenged with heightened expectations from attendees as well as increased competition for people's attention and time. Successful event planners understand that their main goal is to deliver value for their attendees—and that value is what keeps people coming back. To make sure you deliver for your guests, there are four principles you need to keep in mind:
4 Principles of a Successful Event:
1. Strategy: As an event creator, you are significant part of creating and growing long-lasting relationships with your donors. By thinking through who your audience is, what they have enjoyed in the past, and what they expect, you can better anticipate how to deliver value through your event.
2. Theme: What helps an event stand out? A memorable theme that draws all elements of the event together sets it apart and allows you to freshen an annual event for years to come. Relating the theme to your organization, a culture event, or a significant milestone can go a long way.
3. Outcomes (the right ones): Sometimes event planners can focus so much on what goes into an event that we fail to measure what our goals are. Making sure that each decision is filtered through an outcome-focused lens streamlines the event to be even more effective.
4. Reflective: After the event, it's important to look back and see what worked and what didn't—and especially to analyze what reflected your theme or drove your outcomes, and areas that you need to add in order to communicate those better in the future.
Planning a successful event can be challenging. However, the increasing availability of helpful software solutions makes creating a dynamic event for your attendees a whole lot easier.
According to the 2019 Event Marketing Report Benchmark and Trends:
- 57% of event organizers use event management software.
- Those who use event management software save 18.6 hours a month on planning
- Businesses are 20% more likely to prove event ROI compared to those who don't utilize event management software.
- 62% of marketers use event management software to promote their events.
- 60% of smartphone users are using their devices at social gatherings and events.
And that's just current reports. The future will demonstrate increasing impact from technology, with several specific technical trends expected to impact events:
- 30% of marketers believe that live streaming will impact events the most
- 24% of marketers believe that social networks impact events the most
- 35% of event planners think wearable devices are the most significant trend in maximizing your attendees' event experience
Make Technology Work for You
Here are some ways you can leverage technology to make your planning process easier and your attendees' experience better.
1. Create an easy registration and ticketing purchasing process. Provide a quick check-in and ticket sale technology to help ease common frustrations from things like long lines or difficult purchasing processes.
2. Use lighting to set the mood. Light may not be the most technical thing in the book, but plays a vital role in setting the tone of your event. Lighting can quickly engage and welcome attendees while creating an ambiance to remember. Think through how different levels of brightness or uses of color might make your attendees feel more connected to the people around them or more emotionally invested.
3. Use a live display for real-time communications to engage attendees on information. Increase attendee engagement through presentations and sessions by using an event app for polls and surveys during sessions.This also invites participation and lets the speaker know which topics are most engaging.
4. Use touch screen kiosks. Self-serve kiosks can be an excellent way for attendees to check themselves in and gain entry to the event. While some argue that you lose the human interaction at check-in with this route, many people prefer the ease and speed of self check-in. Touch screen kiosks also provide a great way to share research and add branding elements such as video and photographs.
5. Supply Charging Tables and Stations. For longer events, charging stations can power up multiple devices at the same time while making this an excellent opportunity for branding and advertising. Low battery levels mean distracted and less engaged attendees who may refrain from taking photos, sharing on social media, and participating in other ways—so keep your guests powered up!
6. Provide attendees with social photo booths. Provide photo selfie booths to make it easy for people to take branded stills, videos, or GIFs, and share the images straight to their social media accounts. People will be more likely to share these, and you can brand the area for your event to further spread the word!
7. Give out free stuff with customizable clothing station. Giveaway things that your attendees will want—rather than a large order that gets thrown away before guests even leave, provide a customizable station where attendees can select their gear and create it how they want. Custom live printed merchandise also adds to the guests' experience, making it a special memory!
8. Implement a networking photo challenge. Set tent cards around your networking event with different photo challenges and your event hashtag prominently featured, encouraging networking and social media buzz. Have attendees connect with others to snag photos like:
- "Take a photo with someone new you've just met."
- "Take a photo with someone who shares the same favorite color as you."
- "Take a photo with someone who shares the same birthday as you."
9. Use geotags. Use a geotag to create digital markers that assign a geographical location to a photograph or video, allowing attendees to post on social media and concentrated their impact.
10. Have your dedicated social media coordinator live stream the event. This includes those who couldn't attend, builds buzz for next year, and helps attendees feel like they are part of an exclusive event.
11. Utilize Cashless Transactions. Cashless transactions use various items or codes to allow participants to make purchase during the event without pulling out their credit card each time. Events using cashless payments should require their attendees to activate them in advance of the event—which streamlines the event and increases the level of security.
Events require a lot of thought and planning. With these technical solutions, you can be well on your way to a successful event that will leave a lasting impression in the minds of your guests!

"You will win the election if it is God's will," the lady told a political candidate.
Subsequent conversations with others about God's will centered on the question of how do you know and what do you mean.
Is it God's will for whether the politician wins or not? Or, is the issue whether the politician is following God's will–his calling–for his life? Maybe he sat in contemplation and God whispered that his talents would be best used as a politician. Although I have to say from personal observation (I've met him briefly, he's my representative somewhere) that he probably had a better calling as a Navy SEAL than as a legislator. But, who am I to question God?
Psychologist Henry Cloud spoke the past two weekends at Willow Creek Community Church on that topic. God's will for your life–not my legislator.
He talked about finding your passion. Getting your passion aligned with your talents. That will be a hint about following God's will for your life.
But you need discernment. Is this a real passion or a momentary infatuation? Does it match my talents and skills with passion for service? Can you visualize a beneficial outcome?
He talked of two builders. Each made a pile of money developing tracts of land, building houses, and selling them.
One was tired and burned out. He found it boring to do the same old thing over again–even if he did earn millions of dollars.
The other was energized. "I just love what I'm doing. I fly over the undeveloped tract of land and visualize houses and parks and families grilling and kids playing. I just love this."
One found his passion. His heart was in it, and his heart was in a right relationship. He made a lot of money, but his heart was on helping others.
This one, no doubt, had found God's will for his life. And many benefited. The other merely found a job he was good at.

"My biological parents were high school students, 17 years old, obviously not married," she said. "To this day, I've never seen her face, but I have a deep intuition that at one point my mother thought of aborting me, but she didn't. And I stand here before you today because a scared 17-year-old girl said 'yes' to life and to the child in her womb."Share
Then there was the choice of the couple who became her mother and father when they adopted her.
"One of the first pictures my parents have of me was at Christmas time. My mom put me under the Christmas tree and said I was the gift to the family that year." She told the audience that God also offers people the gift of his love. "We don't understand his heart for us. We don't understand his love for us," she said, emphasizing that "God longs to heal you because you are made for more. He looks at you, and he just loves you." (Read more.)

Poco F2 Design revealed in a tweet and it looks stunning
It's time to rejoice for the Xiaomi fans as the company will be coming up with the successor of Poco F1. Poco F1 became a hit in the market as soon as it was launched in the second half of 2018. The phone came with excellent features at an affordable price. The reason behind the success of the phone was that it didn't burn a hole in the customers pocket while giving some amazing features which are available in premium phones. However, the only area where the phone lacked was its look. And therefore, the company is now launching Poco F2 to fix the limitations of the previous phone. Although the company has not officially announced the Poco F2 launch date, we can expect it to hit the market in the first half of 2019. And to raise your excitement, we have some interesting Poco F2 design details for you.
Poco F2 Design and expected Specifications
A popular concept designer named Benjamin Geskin revealed some exciting details of Poco F2. He shared the rendered concept of the upcoming phone on his twitter handle which gave us a sneak peek into the Poco F2 design. The concept is black in color. However, we can expect more colors as the phone will be launched.
Poco F1 had a traditional wide notch, while Poco F2 will come with a waterdrop notch. This means that there will be a bigger screen and the users can have a great video viewing experience. Xiaomi, in order to stay in the competition, will hopefully launch a pop-up selfie camera!
Poco F2 should be powered by the most powerful SD 855 SoC and we can expect 8GB RAM. It will have dual cameras with an LED flash that will be vertically aligned. However, the dual rear cameras will be placed on the top left corner. In Poco F1, it was placed in the middle of the rear panel. The upcoming phone will also have a rear mounted circular fingerprint sensor.
With these exciting details about Poco F2 design, we can now not wait for it to hit the market.

Kollam (Kerala), Apr 18 (IANS): Congress Working Committee member and Rajya Sabha MP A.K. Antony on Thursday said that the Left forces were mere onlookers in this Lok Sabha elections.
"The fight is between the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), while the Left is nowhere in the picture and are mere onlookers. But we would need their support, in case the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) and others fall short of a majority to keep out the Modi government from a second term," said Antony.
Antony's statewide "yatra" touching all the 20 Lok Sabha constituencies in the 14 districts of the state is on its last leg in Kollam, about 70 km from the state capital Thiruvananthapuram.
While claiming that the Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) is all set to sweep the Lok Sabha polls, he said there won't be any change in governance in Kerala on account of that.
"The Left government can use the setback they are going to suffer in the polls for course correction in governance. They are going to suffer because of their arrogance and autocratic style of functioning. (Chief Minister) Pinarayi Vijayan has the same style as Prime Minister Narendra Modi," Antony said.
Antony also slammed both Vijayan and Modi for the manner in which the entire Sabarimala temple issue was handled.
"It's surprising to hear from Modi that if they are given another term, they will come with suitable laws to protect the tradition and culture of Sabarimala. Where was he all this while? Both Vijayan and Modi turned Sabarimala into a sensitive and volatile issue. Both of them are equally responsible for it," Antony said.

Transmission Fault: HDC, Traction Control off, etc.

Transmission Fault: HDC, Traction Control off, etc.
I know, I know. Brake light switch right? Not in this case.
I've been through many things to try and track this down, but now that winter is among us, I really need to fix it as the traction control is inoperable with this fault.
The symptom is this.... If I put my foot on the brake and start the car everything seems fine. However, if I remove my foot from the brake I immediately get a
fault along with Traction Control light on and amber BRAKE light (North American LR3). Using my IIDtool that code is
(2F) Invalid Data from Vehicle Dynamics control module.
Upon further inspection I also get "P0504-64 (2A) Brake Switch A/B correlation" and "P0504-29 (2A) Brake Switch A/B correlation" which also makes it seem brake switch related.
I have two brake switches as I had replaced the original one due to normal maintenance and keep the original one in the vehicle just incase. Both switches behave the exact same way.
BUT HERE IS THE KICKER--which I think is the root of the problem. If I use the IIDtool to go to Live Values, I can go to the brake light switch operation under the
menu. If I leave my foot on the pedal, the brake LIGHT switch function says ON and the brake switch function says ON. If I remove my foot the brake LIGHT switch function goes OFF and the brake switch function stays ON and this is when I get the
fault with no HDC, TC light, etc.
What boggles my mind is where to go next.
One little issue I noticed was during last winter, I was driving on a mountain pass on some rainy roads. Taking a high speed left hand turn, the TC kicked on just for a little bit. I thought to myself, "Wow, must be slippery out here." But later on, even as spring arrived and it was not as wet outside, on certain left hand turns, the TC would kick on--even when it was dry. Soon thereafter, this fault started and has remained throughout the summer.
I find that an odd occurrence...given the symptoms that happened just after this.
So...I've come to...bad or damaged wiring somewhere? Or...is this a symptom of the "Bosch Transfer Case ECU" behind the battery? I did check that and while I saw a tiny bit of evidence of wetness or water at the connector, the inside of the ECU box was as pristine as new and dry as a bone.
Anyway....have any additional thoughts? I'm going out to check 12v at the red wire at the brake switch....and is there anything else I can glean from my IIDtool?

the awitch has 2 contacts, so it can still be one of them.
if you have washed the engine bay behind the battery, then I will think about the offroad module

I have had the same after changing several brake switches. Make sure it's fully engaged

Also, can anyone confirm that I should be getting 12v at the red wire on the brake switch connctor? In this case I do not. Hmmmm..

Yes, you should have 12v on the red wire. If you do not then that circuit has failed, probably due to a split or corroded splice. Run a wire with 12v on it to the switch and see if all your problem disappear.

Thanks Robbie. Anyone know where this red wire goes? Where is the nearest splice? I assume under the side rails under the black plastic trim along the doors. Left side or right?
I did have quite a lot of water intrusion last winter due to a dry rotted sunroof drain in the left side footwell (driver's side in my case)

It's not worth your time and effort to find and repair the splice. Just grab some +12v loveliness from a suitable source at the base of the a-pillar and run a new wire to the switch.
After all, there is plenty beer in the world that needs drinking.

The red wire and the green with orange wire should both have 12V when the ignition is switched on.
The red wire is switched to the purple with green and goes off to the ABS/TC module.
The green with orange is switched to the green with purple (yes, really, the opposite of the above) to the lamps.
As your brake lights work, you presumably have 12V at the green/orange, so you can bridge across to restore the supply to the second (ABS/TC) function.
The red 12V supply comes courtesy of Fuse 66 (5 Amp) in the dash fuse box, and feeds the DSC switch, the HDC switch and the steering angle sensor. It is worth checking this fuse is OK as there is more involved than just the second brake switch circuit.

Thanks Martin (and Robbie).
Interesting you say what you say about the system. Because while holding down my brake pedal and doing some testing this morning, I realized that my HDC was completely dead trying to control it with the button.
However, the fuse 66 is intact just fine--as well when I start it with my foot on the brake (before the Brake switch A and B correlation causes the errors), I can properly operate the DSC switch. Also, using live values with the IIDtool I can "test" the steering angle sensor and all looks good.
So that proves at least part of the circuit is operational. Lastly, I did a double check of the brake switch connector. Testing the brake lamp side (the green with orange) I get 12v there with the ignition on. This is why my brake lights actually work--as previously mentioned. But testing the red wire, I get nothing.
This is awesome progress actually! It gives me a path of troubleshooting. I'm going to at least see if I can trace it and repair whatever connection is damaged, corroded or broken all the while having the "run a new 12v source" as a backup.
I'm looking forward to actually fixing this. Thanks everyone for your input. I'll report back.

OK here is the relevant bit from the circuit diagrams.
I admit this is for a RHD car but I am hoping NAS is the same or similar enough to make sense.
The arrows and extra labels are my additions.
Click image to enlarge
You are looking for a break in the circuit somewhere to the "left" of the green arrow, as all functions to the right of it work.
The C1165/C1167 connector pair are the green 22 way plug/socket at the bottom of the right hand A pillar, behind the trim.

Martin, this is brilliant and I thank you very much for your help.
I finally had a chance to track a bit more of this down and I had a follow up question.
Looking at the connector C1165/C1167 I do get 12v at the red wire going into that connector--so the break must be after that connector (to the left). Which brings me to my question. Is SJ1667 a splice somewhere? It sure seems like it to me---and if so, it makes me wonder if this splice is under the left side (driver's in my case) floor wiring path along the footwell. Remember, this footwell was full of water for quite some time and if so, a cheapie splice as LR used in these would be easily damaged.
Also, if anyone can answer--does the HDC button light up at all with night illumination? I can't remember.
Thanks again--I'm making progress....hopefully to locate this splice and repair it.

Success! I located the bad splice and while I haven't fully repaired it, I did jump it with some leads and did some testing and everything works as it should.
Thank you Martin for setting me upon the correct course--realizing that the 12v at the red wire in the brake light switch harness was key--along with the "half-operation" of things on that circuit.
The splice in question was in fact SJ1667, which is located on the right side front door (NAS LR3)....in the sill where the mass of wires is located, just before the turn upwards going to the grounds and higher up, the fuse box.
One red wire coming from the back of the vehicle, going into two red wires from the front in that sill area. They were taped with light blue electrical tape and the connection was completely severed--lots of green corrosion in what was left of that connection.
I am going to repair this with crimped butt connectors and waterproof heat shrink. All in all a completely easy fix that was a pain to track down. Thank you again Martin.

Finally! Spring has sprung! My hometown of New York City finally has some sunshine, and I am getting the "-ITUS," need sunshine-itus, that is. We have been cooped up inside for just too long, and I am itching for some summer fun! Thankfully, BigMouth Inc. has come up with some amazing new designs to old favorites, and totally new products for their Summer 2018 product line!
BigMouth went ginormous at New York Toy Fair this year — that booth was brimming with summer fun! They are known for large and in charge floats that command the crystal blue and salty seas, and will add a dash of class and a wallop of fun to your next pool party, beach party, or summer barbecue!
The new Lil Float line will be sure to delight your kiddos — choose from a fun and whimsical design like Sparkles the Unicorn (Target Exclusive) with real pizazz of glitter inside the float. The Lil Float line has the character and charisma of the BigMouth giant floats, and the added safety so your little ones can kick, and swim with ease. They won't even notice that they're being so safe! Made of a rich and durable vinyl, the Lil Floats can withstand the summer heat again and again! The Lil Floats are also super easy to clean after each use. Lil Floats are for kiddies ages one to three years old, and up to 45 lbs. Some of your favorite styles can be found at Target.com now for an eye popping low price of $14.99! You can match your littles and big kids together with the large floats for ages eight and up, too! From a roarsome t-rex Lil Floats to Lucky Duck Lil Float, your littles will be, as my son says, "all prune-y" all summer long!
Every pool party requires good food, the music pumpin', and ice cold drinks! Who wants to leave the pool when your parched from all of those games of Marco Polo? Not me, that's for sure! BigMouth has the answer to quench your thirst! Your drinks will be floating in BigMouth style from fantastical unicorns, to nostalgic penny candy drink floats, mystical mermaid tails, or sneaky shnook pirate ships - your single drinks won't sink! When it's a party of one, get the single floats (they come in two packs!), or for parties of two or more, splurge and get the beverage boat! You can fit up to four drinks all snuggly, and they come in a variety of super fun designs - the banana beverage boat, inflatable piñata beverage boat, or the palm tree beverage boat. Don't forget the food, BigMouth truly elevates the pool party scene with floating inflatable buffets, as well as inflatable drink coolers! These are essential, people, they are the outdoor party supplies that you did know that you needed!
With this next product, your outdoor pool party will go from awesome to over the top to the extreme in less time it takes to burn a birthday candle! Standing at nearly 7 feet tall, the ultimate, the gigantic, biggest unicorn sprinkler known to mankind will shadow over you and your kids, showering you with crisp, refreshing water cooling you off in seconds from the blistery summer sun. Everyone loves the unicorn now, even more than my awesome 80's self, so the unicorn is a must for your unicorn obsessed kiddos! Circus themed party? Purchase the elephant instead, and it will fit right in to your theme! Want to celebrate Jurassic World 2 coming out this June? Get the dinosaur sprinkler to wreak wet havoc on your guests! All three choices are $49.99 each, and are available at target.com. Don't have a theme? Buy one of these amazing, behemoth sprinklers to just be the envy of your whole neighborhood, there is plenty of splash to go around. Heck, get two and have a sprinkler-off: the wettest person gets to dry the kitchen floor!
BigMouth's amazing line of giant pool floats got an extreme makeover with the cutest additions! Pair them with their new Lil Floats line to match your little cuties, or buy them alone to stand out at your next beach or pool soiree! From giant man eating shark floats to giant unicorn floats that really do have sparkles, your social status as pool float connoisseur will rise higher than a big kahuna. Also added to the giant floats line is a purple frosted donut (the pink frosted donut's fraternal twin sister!), a giant mermaid tail (hot item for sure!), a giant cotton candy float with sparkles, and so many more!
Personally, I love pool noodles, and for Summer 2018, they have a giant toothbrush and a giant straw — you cannot get much cooler than that! I foresee a lot of silly selfies and snaps with these giant pool noodle floats, which is okay with me. Last year's pickle was a dilly of a hit!
BigMouth also introduced new baby pools for the kiddos, and this is right up my alley! I don't have a huge pool for these giant, amazing floats! I have a small yard with small kids, and they need to be kept cool and contained. BigMouth came to the rescue with these adorably designed, and super colorful kiddie pools. Designed with kids in mind, you can choose from a cheeseburger Lil' pool, a pink frosted donut, or a watermelon pool. I love the cheeseburger pool, because those seeds all over the pool are so fun to look at, and they are making me hungry! I can hear the sizzle from the grill already! The best part is when you're done, they are super easy to store, because they fold up completely flat. No fussing around the hose to clean out the dirty pool that wasn't emptied properly, no evicting the bugs that moved in after the last pool day - unfold, inflate, fill, and splash in minutes!
BigMouth's line of beach umbrellas for summer 2018 are just the bees knees. With five unique and fun designs to choose from you can save your pretty skin, keep cool, and just look cool, too. The colors are so bright, and beautiful. Choose from the sugar skull beach umbrella (my absolute favorite!), the tasty cheeseburger beach umbrella, the juicy watermelon (those seeds, though), a pepperoni pizza beach umbrella (you had me at pepp—), and of course, the frosted donut beach umbrella. Which one would you choose? My son would say, "all of them," but I would have to choose the sugar skull. The sugar skull beach umbrella's colors are just so happy, and I think the sun would love looking at it.
|Is this not the prettiest beach umbrella ever?!
Gone campin', or glampin'? Well, do the do in style with your very own river tubes. Channel your inner Tom Sawyer, and take the loungin' log out for a spin with your handy drink holder, you can even connect to your friends with the handy dandy grab n'latch rope. Logs not your thing? How about the buckin' bronco raft, the driftin' duck, the beautiful butterfly, or the eager beaver (my fave!)? Sit comfortably on top of a mesh seat, which is necessary to achieve the ultimate lounge.
Finally, catch some rays in style atop a giant beach blanket in full technicolor! From a gigantic peace to a gigantic sushi roll beach blanket, there is literally something for all. I am all about coordinating my beach and pool supplies, so I would pair my giant man-eating shark float with a new gigantic shark blanket. You may want to be bold and pair a gigantic buttered toast blanket with a giant starfish float, I am the last person to judge!
Were you invited to the party? Don't show up empty handed! Arrive with gifts for the whole fam — Mom will appreciate a 750ml drinking vessel that looks like an entire wine glass and bottle had a baby, and she can use it for iced coffee, or "water." Dad will appreciate the donut and mug combo, or even the beerzilla drinking glass that will hold three bottles of beer. The kids will enjoy hiding their treasures inside of genially designed cans of Hormel chili — the secret is inside the can - there is no chili, just a hollow can for treasures!
BigMouth, Inc. brought it this summer, and with BigMouth by your side, the possibilities for one crazy summer are endless! BigMouth is also known for their amazing prank and gag gifts from farting tooters, to doo-doo head masks, big baby crying heads, functional and fun lunch bags, as well as, USB charging lights so you can take the party with you where ever you go! Do you have any BigMouth, Inc. products? Which ones are your favorite? Let me know in the comments below!

Air Source Heat Pumps: Your Flexible Friend
As a critical part of the UK's renewable heat portfolio, air source heat pumps are well placed to help replace fossil fuel boilers, improve home energy efficiency and reduce fuel bill costs. Many fail to appreciate just how many different variants of this technology there are, and indeed why this particular heat pump type is an ideal choice for many homes.
So if you need heating and hot water for an average family home (or to keep your pets warm and cosy), air source heat pumps can provide the solution. This week we explore the available choices.
Air Source Heat Pumps – options
High temperature split systems
These systems have been developed as direct replacements for oil and gas fossil fuel systems where replacing or upgrading the existing radiator systems is not possible or practical.
Most systems of this type offer flow temperatures of up to 80 degrees by using two compressor stages to efficiently raise heating and domestic hot water temperatures in the home. As a result of the added compressor technology these products tend to be more expensive and less efficient than their low temperature counterparts.
The "split" nature of this product allows the outdoor fan unit to be positioned up to 60m away from the indoor unit allowing it to be tucked away out of sight, or indeed out of earshot.
The indoor unit housing the second compressor is often floor mounted due to weight and has the option of an integrated hot water tank in a tower configuration optimising space usage. Companies such as Daikin are leading the way with niche products such as these.
Low temperature split systems
Just like the high temperature split systems, with this option the outdoor unit can be positioned away from the building if required, but the single compressor required for lower flow temperatures of near 50 degrees means the indoor unit is lighter and can be wall mounted instead.
These lower flow temperature systems are perfect when used with underfloor heating or low flow temperature radiators.
In addition the advantage, over and above improved efficiency and weight, is that the indoor unit is virtually silent as the single compressor is in the outdoor unit. As such its size is reduced and it can be tucked away out of site in a cupboard if required.
Low temperature monobloc systems
With identical heating capabilities to the low temperature split system, monobloc equipment as the name suggests is all contained in one single outdoor fan unit. Perfect for homes or flats with minimal available indoor space, the units are best placed near the building.
These units produce hot water straight out of the outdoor units necessitating the need for proximity to the building otherwise good money has to be spent on highly insulated pipe to transport the valuable hot water to the home from afar.
As you can see there is almost an air source heat pump configuration for every conceivable situation and manufacturers have really taken some of the multiple challenges of heat pump integration into existing homes into consideration. As a result these different product forms and temperature variants make it easier than ever to integrate an appropriate air source heat pump product into your energy efficient home.

L.O.N.B.: Redefining Luxury Leather Goods With Melissa Morris
When you walk around Mayfair and find yourself on South Audley Street, you'll see one of the most exquisite shop windows. One that looks like it's from a different era- that's where you enter the world of L.O.N.B. , luxury leather goods designed to accommodate and elevate the modern life. We can't decide what we love more, the quality of the designs or the stunning setting they adorn. In this interview, L.O.N.B. co-founder and head designer Melissa Morris takes us through the craft, the inspiration and purpose behind her unique brand.
Tell us a bit more about your background before you became a designer
In university I studied sculpture and business. I have always loved to draw lines and color inside them too. I suppose that explains the architectural quality to my work. I approach each bag design like I would make a sculpture. It also explains why each piece is so grounded in functionality. The entire collection celebrates an effortless intersection of form and function, which is really just an extension of my love for uniting creative and strategic thought processes.
What made you want to create L.O.N.B. and start your own line of luxury leather accessories?
I experienced a market gap and the more I looked around, the more I saw others experiencing the same thing. We all had a big tote with endless pouches to try to keep it from being a bottomless pit. But invariably each pouch became its own mini bottomless pit. The truth is that technology has changed all our lives- we are all on the go from morning to night but the inside of a bag has never changed! I wanted to create a collection which addresses the way we move through today's world that unites luxury and practicality so you no longer have to compromise one for the other.
We are in love with the level of craftsmanship and design at L.O.N.B.; tell us a bit more about the materials you use and how the products are made?
Thank you! It's something we are very proud of. I suppose simply said, we are incredibly uncompromising and take no shortcuts. We source only the highest quality leathers from Italy and France. Our leathers are natural and this allows them to slouch and get a gorgeous patina over time. We handcraft every piece in our atelier in Italy. All our hardware is made from solid brass and our zippers are the highest quality available so they move like butter. We are obsessed with all the details and ensure each one is reduced to perfection.
We've spent over three years developing our unique method of craft. It was completely unheard of to craft a bag, which has a ton of functionality and modularity on the inside but is slouchy and lightweight on the outside. We didn't want to use any heavy reinforcements or framing as that would make the bag both heavy and stiff. So we studied pressure points and developed a very unique way to create each piece. Every element is the perfect intersection of timeless elegance, perfected quality and unparalleled craftsmanship. We also extensively tested each piece in a facility in Italy to simulate rain, weight, humidity etc. to ensure it will stand the test of time. It is definitely a labor of love which is why LONB represents our philosophy, "love or nothing baby".
How do you stay creative and what are your inspirations for your work?
I take a lot of inspiration from architecture, interior and textile design. It's all balances of form, function and soul. Currently I am exploring a lot of weaving and modern approaches to it. I am enamoured with Charlotte Perriand and Anni Albers. I also take a lot of inspiration from 1960s cars, boats and watches. It's all references for uniting form, function and soul. I suppose within that I love geometric shapes and love balance and harmony in design. It should be surprising but pleasing to the eye.
Visiting your beautiful store in Mayfair is like stepping back in time, what was the thought process behind the store's design?
We took vintage riva boats as a starting point but wanted to modernize it and ensure it wasn't overtly thematic. What I love about the riva is it's timelessness soul and warmth but boat design is also practical, you have to be so thoughtful about how you allocate space. We joke that being in the store is like being inside a bag, there are secret compartments everywhere!
What has been your career highlight so far?
I love spending time in our store with our clients and spend as much time there as possible. My work is created for people and meant to make their lives easier. I love to see what they love in my work and what they want next.
How would you describe your vision for L.O.N.B.?
Timeless luxury leather goods redefined for the twenty first century.
Do you have a favourite bag you carry at all times and why?
Actually no, and we don't have a "best seller" either, everything sells, it just depends on your specific needs. The collection is structured so there is one bag designed for each journey. And that particular bag is the perfect execution for that journey. We do provide lots of material and colour options, but the bags themselves are all so useful it really depends where you're headed.
We have a loft in Berlin and I go there to escape and work on new ideas. This is where I designed our first collection for L.O.N.B. When I travel, I carry The Rousseau Carry All, a piece from the collaboration I did with Silka Rittson Thomas from the TukTuk flower studio. I also rarely leave home without my Private Eye- I carry both in Atelier Calfskin Black. It's the highest quality leather in the world and I cannot get enough of it.
What are your views on aftercare and how do you keep your leather products in good shape?
I believe working with people who truly care and don't approach something in a routine manner. Whether it's my workout class or the restaurants I go to… I look for care and passion everywhere. The same goes for how we can best take care of our things. That's why I think The Restory is so fantastic. There is no sense of: it can't be done. The artisan team at The Restory are true aficionados of leather and know how to best treat each individual problem. So I guess I don't have a specific product I love for leather care but rather look for someone who knows and cares to help tailor a solution for me.
What advise would you give to young accessory designers starting out and hoping to make it in the industry?
Go your own way. Don't follow the herds. Don't disrupt for disruptive sake. But don't be afraid to recognize the possibility of change. Don't shy away when people aren't happy about it; most people take comfort in stability. Hold firm and stay true to yourself, even when lots of experts tell you otherwise. And most importantly don't ever lose touch with what drives you and fills your heart. Without it, it's all for nothing.

Air filtration and pressurisation systems manufacturer Breathe-safe is urging mining companies to become better educated about how they can develop an effective respirable particulate mitigation ecosystem at their operations.
With mining equipment operating 24/7 in hot, dirty and dust laden environments, keeping the operator's environment safe and healthy is a critical task for machinery designers and maintenance crews.
The exposure level to respirable mine dust that fixed or mobile plant machine operators are exposed to has re-emerged as a work health and safety (WHS) imperative in recent years due to the resurgence of black lung disease amongst Queensland coal workers.
Scientific research indicates that occupational exposure limits may be outdated and there are calls for more up-to-date respiratory health studies to determine exactly what would be a safe level of exposure to airborne mine dust.
However, mine-related health issues like black lung, otherwise known as coal worker pneumoconiosis, can be prevented by limiting exposure to respirable dusts with the right systems.
Air quality management consists of a five-step cycle:
- Setting a goal: zero harm
- Limit exposure: plan to control respirable mine dust
- Find a solution / find a provider: engineering control
- Implement engineering control: solution
- Evaluate: test and audit for the lifecycle of the machine.
Breathe-safe develops air filtration and air conditioning systems that are proven to protect against the unseen hazards that impact on the health and safety of equipment operators being part of a five-step cycle for the lifetime of the machine.
These systems particularly protect against the respirable dust or fibres that can potentially enter the mining equipment operator breathing zone at mine sites, preventing health concerns primarily centred on the lung or heart.
Breathe-safe manufactures and supplies intelligent, custom-designed pressurisation units that come standard with high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters for fixed and mobile equipment.
Nick Johnstone, Breathe-safe product development director, said HEPA filters provided the highest level of defence against respirable dust.
"If mining companies start by focusing on installing systems with HEPA filters, for both fresh air and recirculation of air, then they are going to be better prepared to protect the operator," Johnstone said.
"HEPA filters have proven to be far more effective than competing low efficiency filters at stopping particles in the lowest range from entering the operator breathe zone.
"A two-stage HEPA system, when professionally installed, will also reduce overall maintenance costs associated with HVAC climate control as it will remain dust free."
While the Breathe-safe systems are equipped to provide an extremely effective solution for miners, Johnstone said these attributes had to be supported by workforces that were educated in the risks posed by respirable dust and how the systems limited their exposure.
Breathe-safe adds value to the development and installation of its system for miners by then working closely with them to build this education.
Johnstone and his team regularly travelled to mine sites to install, trial and then develop the systems, with the likes of BHP, Rio Tinto, Boral, Caterpillar and Komatsu engaging the company.
"We are spending more and more time at sites installing the systems and educating mining companies about how the systems are reliable and effective," Johnstone said.
"Often we will talk to operators that have a cab with a pressuriser on it but they want to know why dust is still getting into the cab.
"It is usually because the cab does not have HEPA filters – they instead have engine grade filters that take out a lot of the dirt but not the small stuff that still goes straight through.
"So we educate them about the low micron dust that is getting through, as well as the benefits of having HEPA filters installed on their equipment to limit this."
Breathe-safe's systems have become respected in the Australian mining industry for their simplicity, and low installation and maintenance costs.
Johnstone said all of the research and development of Breathe-safe's systems took place in Australia, enabling the company to provide these benefits for mining companies.
"Essentially, these systems have been designed for simplicity so once we install it the companies and operators don't have to do anything. The operator just gets into the machine and the system works for them," Johnstone said.
"The other side of the equation is cost – we are by far the cheapest on the market because we have designed, built, tooled, manufactured and installed the systems ourselves. There is not one middle man in the whole process."
Breathe-safe has also added remote monitoring to the company's products to expand on the service and education it can provide mining companies with regular updates on the data generated by the systems.

6 Facts About Services Everyone Thinks Are True
Why Should You Have A Patent Translation? All types of businesses must have their own patent. You need to understand that without this, your business would be left unprotected and you don't want that. You have to understand that there are a lot of people out there who want money and they want to get it from the inventions you have. Because they are known to be almost everywhere, you should not take this lightly for yourself and for your business. Having a patent would entail that you can't be a victim of their scheme. If you are someone who intends to make the business bigger than today, then this is something that you must consider of utmost importance. Most companies that are also doing business in another country know how important this is for them. Because of this, you should not make any second thoughts in making a patent for your business. If you have plans to make your business patented, there is still another important thing you need to know. Aside from that, you need to also consider patent translation for the protection of your business and its inventions. Some businessmen don't know this that is why you need to read this article for more information. This is actually one of the factors that can contribute to the success of your business. One of the main reasons for this is to have something to translate to your patents. As a businessman, you have to know the benefits patent translation can give to you. If you want to be protected from any claims about your business or inventions, then it is best to have this. If you don't want to make any mistakes or regrets in the end, it would be best if you choose this carefully and invest on it. If there is translation of patent, you can easily be confident about your business abroad. The truth is that it is quite risky to do business abroad without this that is why you should not be afraid of investing in it. There are some people, whether you like it or not, who would want to steal your ideas from you for their own benefits. Don't put all your efforts to waste by allowing others to claim what you have invented as their own. You have to remember that this will be fought over in court as this a legal matter that needs to be discussed. If you want to win the case, then you should show to them its patent translation.
Where To Start with Patents and More
It is too risky to make a competition in the international and local market with having your own patent translation. Aside from that, you can make your business well established in the market with it. With it, you can be free from having someone taking the idea or business from you. You need to protect your intellectual property from these people who will take advantage of your ideas. Because of this, your business can expand with security and safety.Case Study: My Experience With Businesses

I took a trip to the dump the other day. Not, actually, to dump garbage, it was an unrelated expedition. A lot of people never see the dump, the place where their garbage goes after they stick it out on the curb and try to forget about it, and it can be an enlightening and interesting field trip. I highly recommend it, actually. You may not have to travel very far, depending on where you live, and along the way perhaps you can spot some garbage barges and other things making their journey from your house to the final destination of your unwanted food wrappers, your styrofoam cups, your clingwrap packaging.
Dumps are highly variable sorts of places. Ours is rather subdued, as far as dumps go. When people think of dumps, they may imagine great exposed piles of steaming garbage, but that's not necessarily how they work. Dumps, as a general rule, operate by digging large pits and lining them so they can add garbage in batches, cover, and seed so grass grows on top. Our dump looks sort of like a series of barrow mounds, more than anything else. And, much like actual barrow mounds, if cracked open, undoubtedly there would be treasures inside.
The lining is supposed to prevent leaching. Garbage tends to have rather unpleasant things in it, since people persist in throwing things away when they really shouldn't. The lining, at least theoretically, protects the surrounding environment, although leaks and cracks often appear, allowing whatever is inside the dump to slowly trickle out into neighbouring soil and waterways. Dumps also need ventilation, because things get quite hot inside and methane buildups happen, so periodically you encounter little pipes sticking out of the ground to allow the trapped gases inside to escape, instead of exploding.
The air around a dump is, well, it can be ripe, and sometimes it is less ripe, depending on circumstances. It helps to go in the cold, when odors tend to be suppressed. When the ground crackles with frost you can see the clear spots on the mounds, where the underlying heat keeps the frost from settling in, and sometimes things steam gently, especially once the sun is over the horizon. But yes, it definitely smells, especially when you are up close. When you are, for example, hurling your garbage into the pit, because here there are no sanitation workers to handle it for you, and you must be the one to send it on its final journey, bulging plastic bags tumbling into the ground. Sometimes they rip along the way and leave a stream of your life's detritus.
The ground around a dump, a waste transfer station, any kind of sanitation facility, as they are called, is usually littered. Garbage escapes, especially lightweight garbage that jumps up in a skirl of wind right as you try to aim it in the right direction. Drifts of garbage float across the grounds and usually fetch up against the chainlink fence. Periodically, someone goes around and scrapes it off, compacts it into bags, and tries to deliver it once again. The second delivery may be successful, but already more garbage is piling up at the edges, and will continue to do so, even after people leave, the dump is full, and the gate is locked, because it has a way of worming to the surface.
Inside, the garbage sits, often largely inert. Depending on conditions in the dump, things you would think would break down may not, and of course things like plastic keep chugging along, with nary a thought in the world. I wonder what it will be like in 100 years. We see the remains of middens from thousands of years ago with mostly organic material, bones, scraps, and now our middens are crowded with petroleum products and waste paper and glass and Pete knows what else.
People are better about recycling now than they used to be, more and more things wind up in the dump because they cannot be handled any other way, because people can send food scraps to a composting company if they don't compost themselves, and can recycle their tins and glass and certain kinds of plastics and paper and everything else. One would think there would be less garbage, on these grounds, but this does not appear to be the case. The garbage keeps mounting because people keep inventing new things and coming up with new and creative ways to package them and all of this stuff ends up in the dump, eventually, moldering into the ground in a soup of unwanted and lost objects.
The dump is a sobering and disturbing sight. We hide dumps and waste management facilities, usually on the grounds of smell, that people would not want to be right on top of them, although actually it is possible to run a relatively low odor dump and some facilities have even been repurposed, turned into parks and recreation areas so people can play baseball and eat apple pie on top of piles of festering garbage. I think the real reason has a lot more to do with the fact that dumps are not just ugly and unsightly and potentially malodorous, but also a reminder of all the waste we create. It makes me wonder how long it will take before the entire surface of the earth is just covered in garbage, great mounds of it, what it will be like for future generations looking for a place to put their trash and finding ours instead, how long it will take before we decide that doing things like sending garbage into space would be a fantastic idea.
It never seems to end, the tide of waste. So we keep building barrow mounds and we keep hiding them from sensitive eyes.
