After leaving Middletown, the train follows the towpath of the historic Union Canal and alongside the peaceful Swatara.

This wine is the product of the vinification of the purely Barbera grapes from our vineyards in
Costigliole d'Asti.
The vineyard's magnificent southeastern exposure and the quality of the partly
sandy and clayey soil lend this particular type of Barbera an intense secondary bouquet as well
as an undeniably substantial body. The quality of this vineyard allow us to take very ripe grapes
into the wine-cellar which are generally vinified in the third ten days of October.
In order to better preserve the qualities of the grapes and soil, no selected yeasts are added,
using only those present in nature.
The temperature-controlled fermentation/maceration phase lasts
approximately 12 days. During this time, the grape skins are kept in constant contact with the
must through manual pumping and crushing occurring every 4/6 hours. When fermentation is completed,
the wine continues in the ancient tradition of aging in oakwood casks for approximately 18 months.
After being bottled, the wine is then matured in the bottle for a minimum of 6 months.
Filari Lunghi offers the aroma and flavour of days gone by, representing the epitome of the Asti
region and its traditions.
Its ruby-red colour is tinged with purple. Complex and gradual to the
sense of smell, traces of currant emerge initially, followed by tobacco, licorice and leather.
To the palate, its imposing body counterbalances the distinctive acidity, finishing warm and clean
with a ripe marasca aftertaste.

A beautiful, healthy smile is one of your most priceless natural attributes. In fact, people with white, radiant smiles tend to be considered more charismatic, confident, attractive, and even more successful. If common dental issues like cracked, chipped, stained, or crooked teeth frequently keep you from showing off your smile, we'd like to help. At the Melbourne, FL cosmetic dental office of Dr. Ron Richardson, you'll find a complete menu of aesthetic dentistry services customized to fulfill your unique needs.
A Gorgeous Smile with Cosmetic Dentistry in Melbourne, FL
If you often feel unhappy with the appearance of your smile or the way it makes you feel, you certainly aren't alone. Many men and women throughout America report feeling self-conscious about one or more aspects of their smiles, whether it be dark yellow teeth or unsightly silver fillings and crowns. With advanced cosmetic dentistry technology and a genuinely caring touch, Dr. Richardson can help you enjoy the full benefits of a luminous, flawless smile.
One of our most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments is teeth whitening. Our take home teeth whitening kits are customized to fit your unique dentition, promoting a brighter, whiter smile in less time than ever before. Simply load the trays with the whitening formula and wear them for a specified amount of time each day. The powerful gel is capable of removing years of stains within days.
For patients with cracked, chipped, misaligned, or oddly shaped teeth, Dr. Richardson may recommend porcelain veneers. These ultra-thin sheaths of porcelain fit perfectly over your existing teeth, correcting a variety of dental flaws in as little as two appointments.

After a Mediterranean season opener in Mallorca, the men of Rally UHC Cycling travel to the Spanish mainland to tackle three different races over the course of eleven days. First on the calendar is the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana, a five-day stage race on Spain's eastern coast from February 6 – February 10. Next is Vuelta Ciclista a la Región de Murcia, two one-day races on February 15 and 16. The tripleheader concludes with the Clasica de Almeria, a single-day race packed with climbs on February 17.
The team brings a rotating roster to tackle this challenge that includes Robin Carpenter, Emerson Oronte, Colin Joyce, Matteo Dal-Cin, Nigel Ellsay, Kyle Murphy, Ryan Anderson, Gavin Mannion, and Svein Tuft.
Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana
The Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana is a five-day stage race in the Spanish Valencian Community that will showcase an abundance of talent from the cycling world. With the defending Tour de France champion Geraint Thomas (Team Sky) and reigning world champion Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) taking the start, Rally UHC Cycling brings a talented roster to compete that includes Robin Carpenter, Emerson Oronte, Colin Joyce, Nigel Ellsay, Kyle Murphy, and Svein Tuft.
The race opens on February 6th with a 10 km individual time trial from Orihuela to Seminario Diocesano de San Miguel. The winner of the time trial walks away with the race's first yellow jersey and puts their name at the top of the list of overall contenders. The second stage, with the last 40 km running steadily downhill, will be a good opportunity for Rally UHC Cycling's leadout train to deliver Colin Joyce to the finish.
With a stage victory in last year's Arctic Race of Norway and multiple top-ten finishes in Spain, Joyce is looking forward to his first race start of 2019.
"I did this race last year and really wanted to come back. It's not just the course profiles that make this race exciting but also the competition. Everyone wants to start the season on a high note and our team is no different. We'll race hard and put ourselves in the position to be successful."
Day three sends the race through the hilly countryside from Quart de Poblet to Chera. The 194 km route features six major climbs before an uphill drag to the finish. With a breakaway likely, look for Carpenter and Dal-Cin to be in the mix early.
The peloton faces the Volta Valenciana's queen stage on day four where the competition for the overall will be decided. Immediately following three intermediate climbs lies the summit finish to Santa Llusia hermitage in Alcossebre, a grueling final push averaging 9.7%. Climbers Oronte, Ellsay, and Murphy will look to climb the overall standings on this stage.
The sprinters come to the fore on the stage five finale, an 88 km stage starting and finishing in the coastal town of Valencia. Riders in the overall will defend their positions while the leadout teams do battle.
Vuelta Ciclista a la Región de Murcia
The team departs Valenciana for Murcia for the second leg of the campaign, the
Vuelta Ciclista a la Región de Murcia. Comprised of two UCI 1.1 one-day races, these long routes take riders through various towns in eastern Spain. To curb the potent group of riders at Vuelta Murcia, Rally UHC Cycling brings a roster featuring Robin Carpenter, Emerson Oronte, Matteo Dal-Cin, Nigel Ellsay, Kyle Murphy, Ryan Anderson, and Gavin Mannion.
The first day of racing takes place on February 15th and will take riders 188 km from Yelca to San Javier. Here, look for the mountain of Alto Cabezo de la Plata to break the peloton apart. With the peloton in pieces, it'll be up to the sprinter's teams to reel in the inevitable breakaway before the finish.
The next day cyclists will ride 177 km from Beniel to Murcia. At this stage, riders will endure a brutal trek to the top of the Collado Bermejo, a first category climb. This section of the stage will drastically reduce the size of the peloton as teams look to control things for a small bunch sprint.
Clasica de Almeria
The 34th edition of the Clasica de Almeria, a UCI 1.HC one-day race in southern Spain, concludes the campaign for Rally UHC Cycling. As a one-day race, the Clasica de Almeria is billed as a sprinter-friendly Spanish classic with no significant climbing in the final 100 km of racing.
This year's race will see cyclists navigate the province of Almeria to the tune of 182 km. Rider position will be vital as riders face four climbs early in the race; the Alto de Cuesta Blanca, Collado de Lucainena, Balcón de Sierra Alhamilla and finally the Alto de Turrillas. After conquering these challenges, the peloton will navigate strong crosswinds ahead of the anticipated sprint finish.
In an effort to tackle the challenge of this strenuous race, Rally UHC Cycling starts Robin Carpenter, Emerson Oronte, Colin Joyce, Matteo Dal-Cin, Nigel Ellsay, Ryan Anderson, and Svein Tuft.
Winter has arrived in the northern hemisphere, and that means shorter days, colder weather, and additional precipitation. Of course, racing cyclocross is also a great way to stay fit in the wintertime. But for those sticking to the road, here are a few tips to maximize your bike's ability to handle some big-mile days during winter.
Play Sports Group, publisher of Global Triathlon Network (GTN), has announced its selection of Felt Bicycles as the media organization's new official bike partner for its GTN channel. As part of its new partnership with the Southern California-based bicycle manufacturer, GTN will feature Felt bikes in future content.
After a few miles on the bike course along the legendary Queen K highway, everything seemed to be going according to plan for four-time and reigning Kona World Champion Daniela Ryf. But by race's end, Ryf would finish well off her usual pace. But it's not always results that define what the Kona triathlon experience truly is.

I am looking for opinions on what the hands down best basher tire is? I am starting to build a ERBE based bash mobile from scratch, thought I would just bypass the factory stuff that needs to be replaced anyway and put together my own with all the toughest parts. I plan to try to kill this rig on a daily basis and wanted to know what tires can handle high flying MMM 6s power the bestest? I also plan to use LT rockers so I was thinking a maxx size tire like the trenchers or big joes.
I personally like Mashers and Badlands. Mashers give traction just about anywhere and have good life on pavement. Ive been using the same set of Badlands for over a year though and they still have a good 90% tread left, but that is because i rarely run on pavement. However, in soft dirt, similar to topsoil, they have amazing traction. They also have very good traction on gravel, and unless something better comes out, there is a good chance i will buy another set of badlands when these finally wear out.
Here is a good thread that may help you.
Tire & rim options with pictures
Using while stupid may cause serious injury.
+1 on the badlands. I have em and love em. Great traction on grass. Even though they aren't REALLY designed for pavement, they do well. They do wear out quicker on pavement.
E-Maxx 3905 BL 2.4GHz
Revo 3.3
Thanks guys, I never even considered the badlands, they look good. they can't really be 6.89" tall can they? that would be they same as the losi claws on my Summit.
Looks like an error on pro-lines site. That 6 should be a five. Tower lists as 5.84 high and 2.72 wide.
Using while stupid may cause serious injury.
They are just about as high as the stockers.
E-Maxx 3905 BL 2.4GHz
Revo 3.3
I like the GS Storm SUT tires,..same size as the stock E-Revo tires...but they don't balloon at high speeds.
^^ Yet
I like badlands, Im on my 3rd or 4th set, no real complaints
Originally Posted by freeagent

Especially when all the other brand tires I've had either ballooned on the first day, or exploded...
How are those off road? they look like a racing tire, unless I googled the wrong tireOriginally Posted by TANK'S 250
Lots and lots of grip offroad,..and can pull wheelies on the road,....
I don't know if it matters to you, but they slide in the turns on the road, they are a denser rubber, so they probably will last an eternity.
I noticed with 4s they do wheelies(good grip), but with 6s Lipos they do a mini burn-out before hooking, which saves the axles and the slipper clutch..which is a good thing.
And of course what I've have said before...since they are like the only tire with a complete center band...ballooning is almost not existent.
These are the tires.
Hey those are wicked tires, definitely not the google results I got, lol. Thanks
what's your estimate on their weight Tank?
I just "redneck" weighed them...and the GS Storms are a good bit lighter.Originally Posted by anr2442
Which is surprising...because I would have bet they would have been the heavier of the two.

well that's just plain amazing. Now i see why you like them so much. You found these on ebay right? Do you remeber the seller?
The only place I can find them is ebay....some British place.Originally Posted by anr2442
Are these tires really worth it? I found them here, but with shipping they sure aint cheap, but I sure amOriginally Posted by TANK'S 250
worth is up to you....Originally Posted by quadiak
They are totally worth it to me,...I like them because they don't balloon.
So I did the conversion from Lbs(sorry don't know how to make that symbol) to $CAD. With shipping those GS tires came to over $70.00 and I would probably have to pay duties on top of that.
Since I havn't even started to build my E-Revo yet, I will keep on searching for a better deal I think.
has anyone tried these tractor tires? they also have a full center tread and look pretty tough and aggressive, but looks aren't everything, EH.
those look like knock off mashers since you can see the side detailing. The mashes however have slits in the treads.Originally Posted by quadiak
Tank - I'd like to get those GS Storm SUT's - where'd you get them?

Reasons for Feeling Sleepy All the Time –
It can be miserable to feel too sleepy. If you always have trouble staying awake during the day, you may wonder, "Why do I feel sleepy all the time?" Discover some of the common symptoms of excessive sleepiness and potential health consequences, and then dive into seven reasons that sleep disorders may lead to feeling sleepy all the time.First, there are some important signs that you may be feeling too sleepy. Here are some examples:
- Feeling excessive sleepiness or drowsiness that interferes with function
- Easily dozing off in sedentary activities like reading, watching TV, or sitting
- Taking regular naps (especially if they are frequent, prolonged, or unrefreshing)
- Poor attention, concentration, or short-term memory problems
Some sleep disorders make it so you can't sleep well. This may lead to insomnia or result in poor sleep quality. If other symptoms are present, further evaluation by a board-certified sleep physician may be important.
Red Flags for Sleep Disorders
Consider these potential red flags and seek medical help if you have these symptoms:
- Taking more than 20 to 30 minutes to fall asleep initially or to get back to sleep after waking
- Light fragmented sleep with frequent awakenings that does not feel refreshing
- Disturbed breathing during sleep including snoring, gasping, choking, and witnessed pauses
- Other symptoms of sleep apnea such as frequent urination (nocturia), bruxism (teeth grinding), morning headaches, heart palpitations, and heartburn at night
- Vivid hallucinations while falling asleep or waking up
- Recurrent episodes of sleep paralysis, characterized by the inability to move with waking or falling asleep, often with associated hallucinations
- Sudden temporary muscle weakness in response to an emotion, such as knee-buckling with laughing
- Uncomfortable feelings in the legs that occur at night when lying down that are relieved by movement
- Sleep-related behaviors such as sleepwalking, sleep talking, or dream-enactment such as hitting, kicking, or jerking body movements
Excessive sleepiness may have significant impacts on health. It increases the risk of falling asleep while driving. Sleep deprivation has physical tolls, affecting chronic pain, hormones, and weight gain. Insomnia may contribute to anxiety and depression. Sleep disorders like sleep apnea may cause hypertension, diabetes, heart attack, heart failure, stroke, and sudden death. Quality of life is significantly compromised by poor sleep.Fortunately, there may be effective treatments if the underlying cause of sleepiness can be identified. Discover seven common reasons for feeling or being too sleepy during the day, including various sleep disorders that lead to abnormal sleepiness.
1 Poor Sleep Habits
- You may not know exactly how much sleep you need.
- You may choose to not sleep enough because of work or social obligations, which is sometimes called sleep restriction.
- You could be trying to sleep in a poor sleep environment that is not conducive to sound sleep, such as leaving the television on at night.
- You may have a horrible bedtime routine that does not prepare you well to fall asleep.
- You may fail to follow any of the other simple guidelines to improve your sleep, such as avoiding caffeine and alcohol near bedtime.
Any and all of these things may leave you too sleepy the next day, without any specific sleep disorder as the cause.
2 Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a condition in which you repeatedly, partially, or completely stop breathing while asleep. It can occur dozens or even a hundred times per hour of sleep and may result in witnessed pauses followed by a loud snort and brief awakening as you gasp for air.With each awakening, you shift briefly into lighter stages of sleep. You may wake completely and fall back asleep without even remembering it.But, this disruption leads to sleep fragmentation and poor quality sleep, resulting in significant excessive daytime sleepiness. People with severe sleep apnea are also at increased risk for falling asleep while driving.Upper airway resistance syndrome (UARS) is a similar condition in which the breathing disturbances are less pronounced during sleep.
There are serious health consequences to sleep apnea, so treatment such as the use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy or the use of an oral appliance should be pursued.
3 Narcolepsy
There are four defining symptoms of narcolepsy, the least specific being excessive sleepiness. This sleep disorder occurs when there is a problem with the regulation of sleep and wakefulness. Therefore, characteristics of sleep may suddenly occur while awake (such as paralysis) and elements of wakefulness may intrude upon sleep.The most characteristic symptom of narcolepsy is cataplexy, which is the sudden loss of muscle tone with an emotional stimulus such as surprise or laughter. The sleepiness associated with narcolepsy may require treatment with stimulants, such as Ritalin, Provigil, and Nuvigil.
4 Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Chronic fatigue syndrome is a condition that might make you feel tired, exhausted, or sleepy. It is characterized by worsened fatigue that occurs after exertion. It is also associated with less refreshing sleep and frequent joint and muscle pain.Although the cause of chronic fatigue syndrome is not completely understood and may be due to subtle sleep apnea, it can lead to significant impairment and disruption of the affected person's life.
5 Kleine-Levin Syndrome
Although quite rare, Kleine-Levin syndrome is a condition that may affect young adults and can cause recurrent episodes of excessive sleepiness. These episodes can last for days, weeks, or even months at a time. And the sleepiness can be incapacitating.Moreover, the syndrome often interferes with school attendance and basic daily functions. There may be associated symptoms, such as hallucinations or hypersexual or compulsive behaviors, too.The only treatment known to be beneficial in Kleine-Levin syndrome is the mood stabilizer lithium, though it has mixed benefits in some studies.
6 Restless Legs Syndrome
Disorders that cause excessive movements during sleep may lead you to feel sleepy the next day. The most common of these conditions is restless legs syndrome (RLS). This disorder is characterized by an uncomfortable sensation in the legs associated with an urge to move. It often develops in the evening as you are lying down to rest and is relieved by movement.The commonly associated condition, periodic limb movement syndrome (PLMS), is diagnosed when there are sudden jerking movements that occur during sleep. These may be repetitive and disturb the sleep of the affected person as well as potentially disrupt the sleep of their bed partner. Fortunately, there are effective treatments available for these conditions, depending on the underlying cause.
7 Circadian Rhythm Disorders
Various circadian rhythm disorders may leave you feeling too sleepy. The circadian rhythm is the body's natural clock that helps to coordinate your activities to the timing of light and dark in your environment. If this timing is misaligned, you may find yourself sleepy at inappropriate times. It may also contribute to sleepiness after lunch.For example, if you have advanced sleep phase syndrome, you will feel sleepy in the evening. Conversely, with delayed sleep phase syndrome, you will have difficulty falling asleep (or insomnia) and feel sleepy in the morning. People with the first condition are called morning larks and those with the second condition are called night owls.Fortunately, there are effective treatments, like light therapy and the use of melatonin, for these and other circadian rhythm conditions, including jet lag and seasonal affective disorder (SAD).
A Word From Verywell
If you struggle with persistent sleepiness, consider an evaluation by a board-certified sleep physician who can discover the underlying cause and initiate the treatment needed to help you feel rested.

Screen Plays is primarily concerned as a research project with the history of theatre plays on British television, but our interests certainly embrace contemporary stage adaptations as well. Television today, however, makes strikingly few such productions, so Random, screened this week on Channel 4 (and free on 4oD for a further 26 days), is a rarity. Developed as a film and directed by Debbie Tucker Green from her one-person drama first seen at the Royal Court Theatre in 2008, it is a richly distinctive and largely successful screen version, graced by a striking central performance by Nadine Marshall.
On stage Nadine Marshall played all of the characters in a grim tale of the impact across a single day of the stabbing of somebody's brother, somebody's son. The hour-long film extends the treatment, running together two dramatic forms and complementing these with montages of animated stills, on-screen captions and other occasional elements of visual trickery. The dominant drama is a naturalistic presentation of the story, with other actors taking the roles of 'Sister's' mother, brother, father and work colleagues. Nadine Marshall is Sister, and at times she also voices the others, but as the film develops they increasingly speak in their own voices.
Cut against this are scenes with Nadine Marshall, out of costume, playing the drama in a stripped-back film studio. These shots echo the minimal setting of the original drama, but the possibilities of post-production have tempted the director at times to have two, and sometimes even three, Nadine Marshalls on screen at the same time. Yet the most moving moments are those that rely simply and directly on her intense performance. (BBC News online has an interview with the actress about her role in Random.)
The various elements are stylishly shot (Stephen Pehrsonn) and edited rapidly (Victoria Boydell), but the range and mix of Black voices were, for me, sometimes hard to draw sense from. Yet mainstream television now is so concerned with immediate intelligibility, to be set such a challenge was intriguing. The allusive language, looping and echoing, has a poetic quality that complements the fractured time framework of the drama's events.
How good to see Channel 4 once again committed to its founding principle of 'innovation and experiment in the form and content of programmes'.
For more background on the production, see Paul Hoggart's interesting Guardian blog. Screen Daily has a news piece on the forty or so 'pop-up' community screenings of the film organised by Channel 4. For The Independent Tom Sutcliffe reviewed Random here.


text: Commercial vehicle fleets are in many ways an attractive entry for electric vehicles into the transport system. In total, 174 electric vehicles have operated in commercial vehicle fleets and gathered socio-technical data over a period of 18 months, resulting in 302,000 all electric kilometres. This paper presents two perspectives regarding electric vehicle operations in commercial vehicle fleets - the functionality perspective, illustrated by the vehicle actions, and the user perspective that addresses the implementation of the task. The socio-technical analysis has resulted in four major findings. With time, the overall usage and the driving distance between charging occasions increase. It is not the passage of time that has influenced this behaviour but it may be explained as the result of accumulated experience. Swedish winter conditions show regression in usage, foremost due to users not familiar with the range reduction caused by the heating system. The need for public charging has been shown to be modest, which in an introductory phase with limited development of charging infrastructure, makes commercial vehicle fleets favourable to electrify over private vehicle fleets. According to deployment strategy, the different user groups ability to incorporate the electric vehicles in their daily activities has been explored and this paper shows large potential for substituting traditional internal combustion engine vehicles within commercial vehicle fleets. Electric vehicles have been made available through a technology procurement scheme and have generated both kilometres and experience, which has come to increase the understanding of the usage of electric vehicles in commercial vehicle fleets.

What's the difference between RFID and barcode technologies?
by Karl Trepagnier | Senior Solutions Architect
Each has advantages depending on how you plan to use the RFID or barcode system. A clear understanding of your requirements around security, durability, cost, and implementation of the system can help you evaluate the best option for your business. In this article, we'll define RFID and barcoding, discuss the advantages of each, and give some real-world examples to explain the difference between the two technologies.
"If RFID is truly more efficient, why hasn't it replaced barcoding entirely? Like all technologies, RFID has its limitations – and so does barcoding."
What is RFID?
RFID stands for radio-frequency identification, which uses radio waves to transmit information from RFID tags to an RFID reader. An RFID tag contains a sensor attached to an antenna that enables the transmission of data to the reader. Each sensor typically contains unique identifiers, and an RFID reader can simultaneously scan more than 100 tags and does not require line of sight visibility.
What is barcoding?
Barcoding uses a scanner with a beam of light to "read" the black and white lines of a barcode. The scanner includes a sensor that creates a signal from the reflected light, and a decoder then translates the signal into text and sends it to a computer or database. Barcode scanners require line of sight and must "see" each barcode one at a time in order to capture the data.
On the surface, RFID seems like the clear choice. It can scan multiple items at once, whereas barcoding requires a person to physically scan each item individually. But if RFID is truly more efficient, why hasn't it replaced barcoding entirely? Like all technologies, RFID has its limitations – and so does barcoding.
Need help finding the right barcode scanner for your business?
Don't miss our Barcode Scanner Buying Guide.
RFID examples and benefits
To understand the advantages and disadvantages of RFID, let's take a closer look at some situations where RFID is a better choice than barcoding.
RFID is available in three main types: low frequency (LF), high frequency (HF), and ultra-high frequency (UHF).
Low Frequency (LF)
Under 134.2 KHz. The low frequency range requires the tag to be in close contact with an RFID reader in order to transmit data.
Examples of Low Frequency RFID:
Animal tracking – Using RFID tags on cows' ears offers a durable way to track the animal over a period of many years, from birth until it reaches the customer. In the event of contamination, grocery stores can determine exactly which batch of meat needs to be recalled and even which animal it came from.
In this scenario, RFID tags work best because they will last longer and are more durable than a barcode. With exposure to rain, sun, and other animals, a barcode can become damaged and unreadable, which isn't ideal for long-term monitoring.
Access control – Low frequency RFID badges are commonly used as a "key" to control access to office buildings. Door badges must be placed very close to the reader in order to function properly. As with the animal tracking example above, RFID badges will be more durable over time than a printed barcode. ID badges with barcodes don't offer much security either, because they can be easily duplicated with a copier.
High Frequency (HF)
Around 13.56 MHz. HF RFID tags have a read range of approximately one to three feet at the most.
Examples of High Frequency RFID:
Libraries – RFID technology can increase the efficiency of the book checkout and return process. At the checkout desk, you typically scan the barcode on your library card, and then stack your books on an RFID reader pad. The pad detects the RFID tag embedded in each book. Later, when you return your books in the book drop, an RFID reader can use the information in the RFID tags to sort the books by category or location. For libraries that are trying to do more with less, RFID technology offers a more accurate, efficient, and faster way to get books back out on the shelves. Barcoding would require an employee to scan each book separately during the checkout and return process, and if a barcode became unreadable as a result of scratches or marks, the item information would have to be entered manually into the computer system.
RFID also offers more security than barcoding in this situation. If someone is returning four books, they can easily scan the barcode on each one so that the system thinks they've been returned, but what if the person only drops off one book and keeps the other three? An RFID reader would immediately recognize the discrepancy.
Medical supplies – RFID can be used to monitor the use of surgical items while the patient is on the operating table. A system of checks and balances can help doctors and nurses keep track of how many sponges were used during surgery to make sure none are inadvertently left inside the patient. An RFID reader can count the sponges before and after they're used. If 20 sponges were "checked out", the staff can make sure all 20 were "checked in" after the surgery is finished.
Quality control – RFID can be used to monitor the quality of wine from the time it leaves the winery through to the distribution center and the retailer. The RFID tags can be programmed to monitor the temperature and other environmental factors that can affect the quality of the wine. If the data collected from the RFID tag indicates that the wine was stored in in a suboptimal environment for too long, it may be considered compromised and get pulled from the shelf. In contrast, barcodes are read only, whereas certain kinds of RFID tags can receive additional data after they are created.
Ultra-High Frequency (UHF)
800-900 MHz and higher. UHF RFID is typically used in large warehouses and distribution centers that need to track and identify multiple items at once.
Systems that use UHF RFID are not as mature as those used by LF and HF RFID frequencies. A standardized global bandwidth has not yet been determined, and the frequency range varies by country. The U.S. currently uses a higher UHF bandwidth than Europe.
Common applications for UHF RFID include shipping and receiving, end-to-end manufacturing, and industrial asset management. Unlike LF or HF, UHF RFID offers a much longer read range of up to 30 feet in the right conditions. UHF wavelengths also allow data to be transferred more quickly, which means large volumes of product can be moved faster.
When receiving pallets or large cases, UHF RFID technology can speed up the process. A designated dock door can be equipped with RFID readers that are tuned to the same bandwidth as the tags on the items being received. With proper implementation to minimize interference, UHF RFID can provide an accurate, efficient way to move items through the supply chain more quickly.
In these examples, RFID has clear advantages over barcodes when it comes to durability and longevity, security and efficiency. But RFID has disadvantages, too, and there are situations where barcoding is far more practical.
Disadvantages of RFID
RFID technology has several limitations regarding materials, reliability, cost, and implementation.
Scanning multiple items
While RFID is well known for its ability to scan multiple items at once, this isn't always an advantage. In large warehouses, an RFID reader can scan all tags within its range, which doesn't work well if you're only trying to scan items from a specific shipment or in a certain location on the floor.
If you have a pallet containing multiple boxes of different shapes and sizes, you need to know how many items are on the pallet so you can be certain you've scanned them all. Similar to our surgical sponge example above, if you know the pallet is supposed to have 30 items on it, you need to scan it from all angles until you've captured all 30.
To effectively use RFID in a warehouse or loading dock environment, you may need to use RFID blocks to form barriers between RFID readers, so that the same items aren't scanned multiple times. In some cases, an RFID block may be placed between each dock door to make sure only items at that particular entrance are being scanned.
While barcoding can't scan multiple items at the same time, it offers more accuracy and reliability compared with RFID. Since a barcode scanner captures each barcode individually, you don't have to worry about accidentally scanning more items that intended.
Material limitations
RFID tags and labels are very specific to the type of material and size of your assets. For example, metal will deactivate the RFID antenna and the tag will not transmit at all. Using RFID on metal requires a special type of tag with an RFID block to prevent interference with the antenna. Liquid products can also affect the reliability of the RFID signal. If you've ever wondered why RFID is not used in grocery stores, this is the reason. Taking a metal shopping cart full of beverages through an RFID reader will not yield an accurate or reliable scan.
With barcoding, you still need to consider the application and surface on which your label or tag will be used, but a barcode won't simply become unreadable based on the material or contents of the item. RFID requires different types of tags depending on the characteristics of the item itself, whereas one type of barcode label can be used on different assets.
RFID vs. Barcode Summary
Advantages of RFID
- Efficiency: RFID can scan multiple items at once
- Durability: RFID can handle exposure to sun & rain
- RFID allows for greater security than barcodes
Disadvantages of RFID
- Materials like metal & liquid can impact signal
- Sometimes not as accurate or reliable as barcode scanners
- Cost – RFID readers can be 10x more expensive than barcode scanners
- Implementation can be difficult & time consuming
Cost is one of the main obstacles to RFID technology for many businesses. A typical barcode label costs a few cents each, while an RFID tag can run from one dollar upwards of 30 dollars. depending on the type of tag you need. RFID readers are also about ten times more expensive than barcode scanners. To print and encode RFID labels, you will need a printer like the Zebra ZT410R that is capable of doing both.
In addition to the cost of the RFID tags and readers, RFID implementation is significantly more expensive and complex than a barcoding system.
Deploying an RFID system requires careful planning, along with a clear understanding of the technology capabilities and limitations. Most service providers including Peak-Ryzex require you to invest in a consultation and site survey to confirm whether an RFID solution will work for you. If you find a service provider willing to sell you an RFID system without doing these things, you probably shouldn't purchase it from them.
Unlike basic barcoding where you can plug your USB scanner into your computer and get started, RFID is best implemented in stages. In a warehouse environment, start by deploying RFID at one dock door and then add more after you've tested it and confirmed that it works correctly for your application.
While RFID is a powerful technology, the implementation and use require careful planning. We have regular conversations with customers that think they need an RFID system, but the complexity and expense is not feasible for their business. Whether you choose barcoding or RFID depends largely on the security and durability requirements of your application and the time and money that your business is prepared to spend.

19 Aug Great writers build Great companies!!!
Last week I attended a retail industry social networking event, wherein I met with very interesting people from retail fraternity and I happened to participate in one discussion with a couple of senior industry stalwarts over cocktails on the role of HR and current hiring trends. This discussion was so insightful & inspired me to pen down my views on current hiring trends which might be helpful for some professionals seeking better opportunities.
Below are a few tips or insights which could prove to be useful for my blog followers and connections on linkedin.com. I had previously written an article on how to make your career fool-proof (check out here: https://bit.ly/2w2ymth)
- Resumes are outdated:
We all know that resumes are redundant. They are full of "action verbs" that don't mean anything. The ideal way is to check the candidate's cover letter. This is where you get to see clear communication instead of a list of skills, verbs and years of experience.
You hear someone's actual voice in a cover letter.
2. Your college GPAs or Percentages does not matter:
Over 80% of CEOs in the top 500 US companies did not receive their graduate degrees from Ivy League colleges. Instead, they have made their way upwards by constantly upgrading their knowledge and by continuous learning.
Mark Twain once quipped, "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education". This quote is so relevant in current times.
The third point is very close to my heart and I always propagate the same to my fellow teammates and actually practice it myself (I always conduct role play session with the candidate during interview session or give an assignment on some topic prior to interview session). The point I am trying to make here is that HIRE CANDIDATES WHO ARE GREAT WRITERS.
The writing skill is the most crucial skill that makes the candidate stand apart from the rest. My rationale for the same belief is mentioned below:
- Clear writing is a sign of clear thinking. Writing gives a direction to mind & prove to be useful in project planning, strategic thinking, strategy development and building brands.
- Good writers know how to communicate. (Key leadership requirement in any business)
- They can put themselves in someone's shoes very easily. (Empathy is very crucial for the managers who manages their team members).
- Writing makes your thought process crystal clear (very important when you are working on strategic goals).
- Good writers know what to omit (Any information which does not contribute to main communication objectives needs to be omitted that's the main role of a good leader.
I would end this article with a statement that I firmly believe i.e. "Writing is the new currency for Ideas".

Research Topics
Genomes and Genes
Principal Investigator: THOMAS H GRIDLEY
Abstract: The long-term goal of this proposal is to understand the multiple roles that the Notch signaling pathway plays during embryonic development in mammals, and the connections between this pathway and the development of congenital human disease syndromes. The components of the Notch signaling pathway are essential for proper embryonic development in numerous organisms, and mutations in Notch pathway genes cause several inherited human disease syndromes. In mammals, four Notch family receptors have been described, encoded by the Notch1 - Notch4 genes. Notch receptors interact with membrane-bound ligands that are encoded by the Jagged (Jag1 and Jag2) and Delta-like (Dlll, Dll3, and Dll4) gene families. We have been performing a comprehensive genetic analysis of the requirements for Notch pathway components during embryonic development in mice. The aims of this proposal are to: 1) determine the role of the Dll4 gene and of other Notch pathway components in the development of the cardiovascular system; 2) test whether the PDZ Iigand domains at the carboxy termini of the JAG1 and DLL4 proteins are essential for function; 3) test whether the intracellular domains of the four different Notch receptors transmit equivalent signals by constructing single copy conditional gain of function alleles at the same genetic locus; 4) test whether Notch signaling plays an evolutionarily-conserved role during oocyte development. These studies will further our understanding of the roles of the Notch signaling pathway in mammalian development, and will be applicable to the study of both normal development and birth defects in humans.

Axcis are very proud to be able to offer regular Team Teach training courses for our candidates. Susanna Gray, our Team Teach coordinator oversees these events and is a qualified Team Teach trainer. You can see her talking about Team Teach in the video below. Find out more about the training and our upcoming summer 2015 courses below.
What is Team Teach?
Team Teach is a 2 day training course which explores the verbal and non-verbal aspects of behaviour management. The course explains what is meant by terms like "reasonable force" and when it is appropriate to use physical intervention. In addition to this, delegates are trained how to use restraint techniques. It should be made clear that this is considered a last-resort and the Team Teach course aims to give candidates a tool kit of strategies and techniques they can use before force should ever be considered. Team Teach aims to actually REDUCE the overall need for restraint or use of force in schools – not to promote it.
Why does Axcis offer Team Teach training?
We are often contacted by schools who require Team Teach trained staff. This is because in many SEND schools, it is an unfortunate reality that advanced behaviour management training, and very occasionally restraint training can be required. We want our staff to be able to do this in a consistent, safe manner as is reflected by the schools we work with. Team Teach can be an expensive course to attend (up to £200 for the two days depending on the provider). This can be prohibitive for teachers and teaching assistants due to the cost, but also the term-time days on which many training courses are run. At Axcis, we regularly offer the course for as little as £45 (we simply aim to cover the cost of the venue and training materials) and in school holidays. Training is usually run at our client schools, which can be a huge benefit to those who have worked there as they already know their way around (as well as how to get there!) It should be noted that once you receive Team Teach training, the certificate awarded is only valid for 2 years. After that you must undertake a refresher in order to continue using the techniques you learn.
How can I get on a course?
As already mentioned, Axcis runs numerous courses throughout the year. To qualify for a place, you should be registered with Axcis (or about to register) and want to work in a long-term supply position at a school where these techniques will be necessary. Your consultant can advise you on whether they feel the course will benefit you or not if you are not sure whether it's right for your own personal CPD pathway. Course places are limited to 24 so if you want to be sure of a place on the next course near you, contact your consultant ASAP and ensure they know you are keen to receive this training.
When is the next Axcis Team Teach Course?
Axcis Liverpool are running a course on the 10th and 11th August 2015, and Axcis London are running a course on the 20th and 21st August 2015. You should be physically fit and able to take part in practical as well as theoretical training as restraint techniques will form part of the course. All delegates will receive official certification in Team Teach (as seen in the photograph above). We advise you to keep your certificate safe should schools wish to see it before allowing use of the techniques learned during the training. For further details, please contact your consultant/local office. We regret that places cannot be confirmed until payment is received.
What do other people have to say about Team Teach training with Axcis?
"I am so glad I decided to attend the Team Teach training Axcis offered me. My consultant told me that this course would be a huge benefit to me and would help me find work, but I must admit I was a bit apprehensive as I didn't really want to spend any money on training at that time. However, I found that having the training meant that I got offered much more work and the course soon paid for itself. Having the Team Teach training has given me the confidence to work with students I would have previously found intimidating and to restrain if I absolutely need to with the knowledge I am doing so safely. Thank you so much Axcis for giving me this professional development. I am so pleased I decided to do the Team Teach course with you! Sally Wineman, Teaching Assistant for Axcis
What other training does Axcis offer for candidates?
At Axcis, we offer a range of training for our candidates – below is a list of our current CPD opportunities. However, we are always looking to expand the range of training we offer, so keep an eye on your emails, our website and our social media pages for updates on new courses being offered.
