Reading : Along with the new year, comes a shift in the reading focus in 1-Bu. The main focus for all of the reading units from here on out will be on comprehension. Of course, we won't leave decoding and fluency in the dust, but now we're going to be looking very closely at many different kinds of texts and working on extracting meaning from those texts.
Our current reading unit is focusing on schema and using our schema to better understand the text. One's schema is information that he/she knows about a topic. (I'll get much more into it as we go through our unit.) To kick off the unit, we'll be talking about 'real reading' and 'fake reading' next week. The goal is for all of the students to be doing 'real reading,' which is reading the words AND thinking about and understanding what the words and story mean. 'Fake reading' is just reading the words, but not thinking about the text.
Author Study : Last week we started reading books by Ezra Jack Keats. The students are enjoying his books. We spent some time discussing Ezra Jack Keats' illustrations, as he tends to use collages in many of his books. As your child to explain what a collage is.
Writing : We finally wrapped up our Small Moments writing unit last week, and we will be moving on to a 'How To' unit this week. Ask you child what a 'how to' book is. The students know that 'how to' texts are everywhere, from recipes, to game directions, to a book that teaches you how to draw. I have told the students that if they have examples of 'how to' writing at home, to please bring them in. These could be directions for how to put together a lego set, how to make macaroni and cheese, or even how to play a board game. It's always great for the students to see many examples of what 'how to' writing looks like in the real world.
Math : We've been doing a great job with our measuring unit. Before break, the students learned the importance of using standard units of measure. We've learned about measuring temperature in degrees Fahrenheit and length in feet and inches. The students loved using tape measures to measure various body parts last week. (See pictures of that below.)
Phonics : Now that we have learned about all of the consonants and short vowels, we're taking it to the next step. Recently, we have been focusing on blends. Blends are when two consonants blend their sounds together. Last week we focused on s blends (i.e. sc, sn, sw) and l blends (i.e. pl, sl, bl, fl).
Here are some pictures of us in the classroom last week :

It's all becoming so real this week. Building my website. Setting up PayPal and stripe. Buying licenses and tax permits. It's really happening. I learned so much about business licenses in the state of Iowa and I am posting it all here so that I will be able to find the links again in the future.
Iowa does not have a general business license and I do have to pay taxes.
I am starting off as a proprietary or partnership, so I simply register my business name with the county recorders office and register for a sales tax permit. If I ever hire employees I will need to obtain and EIN.
County Recorders trade name registration – https://www.polkcountyiowa.gov/recorder/departments/real-estate-dept/trade-names/
Sales tax – https://tax.iowa.gov/iowa-sales-and-use-tax-guide
EIN – https://sa.www4.irs.gov/modiein/individual/index.jsp
However, I am considering starting an LLC sometime in the future… An LLC is required to register with the Iowa Secretary of State by submitting a Certificate of Organization. I also need to register for a sales tax permit and I must obtain an EIN.
Iowa Secretary of State/ certificate of organization – https://sos.iowa.gov/business/FormsAndFees.html#DLLC489
I was really hoping to have products up on my site by now, but there has been so much "behind the scenes" work that I haven't had time to get product ready. I should be able to get some done this week and ready to place on the website.

Jubilant leaders of the opposition Sandinista Front declared victory today in a weeklong Civil Service strike that ended late Wednesday with broad Government concessions to Sandinista-led unions.
Asserting that the unions had taught the Government ''a lesson in maturity and flexibility,'' the Sandinista party newspaper, Barricada, warned that the Sandinista workers were prepared to take similar action whenever needed to oppose future Government policies.
''If the Government wants social stability,'' the newspaper said today, ''it must act with more responsibility rather than launching new attacks against the workers.''
Diplomats and politicians here said the strike and its outcome represented an serious blow to the prestige of the new Government of President Violeta Barrios de Chamorro, which had declared the strike ''illegal and nonexistent'' just three days ago.
Cardinal's Intervention Asked
The declarations also added new force to Sandinista demands that Mrs. Chamorro accept a ''dialogue'' with Sandinista leaders on issues ranging from the restoration of land confiscated by the former Sandinista Government to the annulment of legislation rushed through in its last days.Continue reading the main story
On Wednesday, the Sandinista leader, Daniel Ortega Saavedra, who was defeated by Mrs. Chamorro in elections Feb. 25, asked Nicaragua's Roman Catholic Primate, Miguel Cardinal Obando y Bravo, to help arrange negotiations between Mr. Ortega and Mrs. Chamorro's Government. ''We are not interested in overthrowing this Government,'' Mr. Ortega said. ''On the contrary, we are interested in stability. But the President is acting in a unilateral fashion, not taking the people into account but instead acting against them.''
In declaring their strike last week, the Sandinista-led Government workers' unions demanded salary increases of 200 percent and restoration of a disputed law that would give sweeping job protections to the Government work force.
Protection for Workers
The law, which was suspended last week by Mrs. Chamorro, was approved by Sandinista leaders after their election defeat but before their departure from office on April 25, and would protect even high-ranking Sandinista bureaucrats from dismissal from their jobs.
Mrs. Chamorro's Minister of Labor, Francisco Rosales Arguello, declared the strike illegal and threatened to dismiss any workers who did not return to their jobs by Tuesday morning. But striking workers ignored the ultimatum, locking Government ministers out of their offices and paralyzing everything from telephone service to state-run banks, airports, border crossings and public transportation.
On Tuesday, riot policemen were deployed near Government buildings as the Government apparently considered whether to try to dislodge the strikers. But in the settlement announced Wednesday night, the Government ultimately chose to placate the strikers by accepting significant concessions on virtually every major issue.
Under the terms of the accord, the Government agreed to approve an across-the-board salary increase of 25 percent, which, when applied after an earlier raise of 60 percent approved early last week, amounts to a total increase of 100 percent in Government salaries in the month of May.
The agreement stipulates that the Government must immediately reinstate any workers dismissed in violation of the suspended Civil Service law. The Government is also obliged to proceed with enforcement of the law on the basis of new negotiations between the Ministry of Labor and the Sandinista unions.
Mr. Rosales and other Government officials defended the accord as a victory of negotiation over confrontation, asserting, in the words of the Labor Minister, that Nicaragua's fledgling democracy ''is not a fiction.''
Aid Bill Advances
WASHINGTON, May 17 (Special to The New York Times) - Congress made progress today toward approval of a bill that provides emergency aid for Panama and Nicaragua. House and Senate negotiatiors agreed to remove abortion and death penalty provisions from the bill, clearing the way for a final compromise on the measure.
The bill, which provides $420 million for Panama and $300 million for Nicaragua, has been delayed for months while lawmakers debated those two provisions and more than $1 billion in unrelated spending for domestic programs.
The negotiators hope to complete their work on Friday, but final passage of the bill still depends on resolution of yet another dispute involving military aid to El Salvador.Continue reading the main story

You can't become an early bird overnight.
Just ask Jessica Williams, star of the upcoming Netflix movie "The Incredible Jessica James," who said she struggled with her daily 6 a.m. call times because, "I am not a morning person."
She's got plenty of sleepy bedfellows. More than half of Americans (57%) slap the snooze button every morning, perhaps because almost half of us aren't getting the recommended seven to eight hours of shuteye a night.
Even after 20 years of rising at 3 a.m. to shine while anchoring "New York 1" from 5 to 10 a.m., Pat Kiernan tells Moneyish that, "it has become my routine, but I still haven't gotten used to it!"
See also: You have to try this scientist's technique for falling asleep faster
Yet research shows that the early bird really does catch the worm. A 2012 Gallup poll found that most Americans (57%) said they felt most productive before noon.
Morning larks also earn better grades, and night owls have been shown to be more sedentary and less likely to exercise.
And some of the biggest movers and shakers only function on a few hours' rest, such as Tesla Motors and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk (six hours a night), media mogul/homemaker Martha Stewart (four hours a night) and President Donald Trump (three to four hours.)
See also: Here's how much shut-eye Donald Trump, Jennifer Lopez and Marissa Mayer get
So if you're looking to be more productive or squeeze in regular morning workouts - or you don't have a choice about sleeping in anymore, since you've been given an earlier shift - Moneyish tapped Kiernan and Dr. Ashley Mak, a physical therapist and performance coach who runs Hudson River Fitness, to share their tips on seizing the day at dawn.
Sleeping well is a must. "There's no amount of coffee that makes up for missing three hours of sleep," said Kiernan, who tried a few different sleeping patterns until he found what works for his extreme schedule: A two-hour nap, usually from noon to 2 p.m., and sleeping another four or five hours from 10 or 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. So if you're looking to wake at 5 a.m., you've gotta hit the hay between 9 and 10 p.m. to be rested enough to do so.
Lay off coffee, booze and sweets. Sugar and caffeine in the afternoon can keep you up too late, and alcohol wreaks havoc on your sleep quality. "If I'm jonesing for caffeine to perk up after 2 p.m., I sip green tea," said Mak, who gets up at 4 a.m. to open his gym for 5 a.m. private training sessions. "Or take a walk around the block, get moving to get your energy going." And save happy hour for the weekend. "If you insist on partying with your 10 a.m. job pals on a Thursday night, and don't cut out before them, you're going to suffer on Friday morning," said Kiernan.
Create a screen-free zone. Watching one episode of "Glow" or answering a few emails in bed easily becomes being glued to your phone or tablet until 2 a.m. Plus, the blue light from screens messes up your sleep cycle. "I try not to do any screens one to two hours before bed," said Mak. And Kiernan sets his phone to sleep mode, so texts, emails and calls from his night owl friends won't ping him awake at 10:30 or 11 p.m. when he's trying to fall asleep.
Set multiple alarms - but not all on your phone. "First, setting an alarm sets an expectation for yourself to wake up," said Mak. "But then having another alarm set elsewhere - like your significant other's phone, or an alarm clock across the room, makes you get up and switch it off in case you start to sleep through the first alarm." And once you're up - well, you're up.
Don't hit the snooze button. You're not only fragmenting your sleep, but you're also letting yourself slip into a new sleep cycle that will make you feel more sluggish when you're snapped out of it again."The snooze alarm is a recipe for sleeping in," agreed Kiernan. "Just figure out what your minimum prep time is, set the alarm, and get up when it goes off."
Make your mornings easy. Have your work or workout clothes already laid out. Prep overnight oats the day before for an instant breakfast. Set the coffee pot ahead of time. Make sure your purse or briefcase is pre-packed. "Make it as mindless as possible so you don't have to think the next day, you can just get up and go," said Mak.
Stay consistent. It takes about three weeks to make a habit stick, so follow a regular early bedtime/early wakeup schedule until it becomes routine. That means you shouldn't sleep in on weekends. Kiernan likens it to jet lag. "If your body was on British time, and you come back to New York, you feel five hours off," he said. "So if I sleep until 10 a.m. on the weekends, I'm seven hours off when I try waking up on Monday morning."
Appreciate seizing the day. Take a minute each morning to feel gratitude about how much easier the commute is before rush hour, or to savor the quiet before your kids wake up. This will turn mornings into a blessing, not a curse. "It's a time for self-reflection before the day breaks through," said Mak. "Plus, I like to treat myself to a good, hot breakfast so that I have something to look forward to.

Whether you are a graduate or an undergraduate student, if you are considering a career in scientific research, you are encouraged to participate in a research project. These projects involve both one-on-one instruction by a faculty member and independent lab, library, or computer work by you.
If you are looking for an internship, co-op position, or other off-campus research opportunity, check out the links found on our Co-op page.
Graduate students in chemistry are required to do research in order to complete an M.S. degree. The graduate adviser will provide you with information on how to choose a research adviser and sign up for research credit (CHEM 697, 698 or 699). A list of faculty members and their research interests is given below.
If you are interested in participating in undergraduate research, the first step is to identify a faculty member with whom you think you'd like to work. Below is a list of faculty members, organized by sub-discipline, with a brief description of their research interests and the desired background they expect of their undergraduate research students. You can click on a name to go to that faculty member's website for a more complete description of their research program. The same information is available in a Research Opportunities flyer that you can download and print.
The second step is to contact those whose research is of interest to you and go talk to them. It is usually good to contact them to set up an appointment. Faculty members are generally very happy to talk about their research, but often have busy schedules. These projects are always highly individualized and by mutual consent only. The details of what you will do, the time commitment and degree of independence expected, which research course is most appropriate, and the basis of your grade will be worked out between you and and the faculty member.
If the two of you agree to work together, you should register for Undergraduate Research in Chemistry (which is offered at the 200-level, 300-level, and 400-level and for one, two, or three credits: 297, 397, 398, 497, 498 or 499). A typical expectation is about 3-4 hours of laboratory work per week per credit. These projects often extend for more than one semester, so multiple research course registrations are permitted. After a couple of semesters, most students have accomplished enough work to present it at the Undergraduate Symposium. Ideally, if enough is accomplished, you will become co-author of a publication in a scientific journal and/or co-presenter of your work at a professional meeting.
The University of Minnesota [PDF] is looking for undergraduate students interested in applying for their summer REU program. Further details are provided in the flyer [PDF] and on the program website at https://chem.umn.edu/lando. Application deadline is February 1, 2019.
Michigan State University is looking for undergraduate students interested in applying for their summer NSF-REU program in Sustainable Chemistry and Chemical Processes. Please see the flyer [PDF] for more information. The application deadline is February 15, 2019
Analytical chemists are experts in measurement of the kinds and amounts of chemicals in a sample. Their craft has many applications, including industrial quality control, sports and police drug testing, and environmental pollutant monitoring.
Biochemists specialize in the chemistry of living systems, and can interface with biology, medicine, environmental studies, nutrition, and many other fields.
Inorganic chemists' turf is the entire periodic chart except for carbon. They could be involved in synthesis and study of practically anything.
Medicinal chemists are organic chemists bent on the synthesis of new or better drugs. (This is not to be confused with pharmacology, which centers on the effectiveness and toxicity of drugs.)
Dr. Cory Emal: Designs and synthesizes molecules that are tested for their ability to inactivate an important human enzyme inhibitor. The novel compounds constructed by Dr. Emal's group are similar to some of the medicinally active ingredients in red wine and green tea, and potentially have similar useful properties. (Preferred prereq: CHEM 373)
Dr. Debbie Heyl-Clegg: Designs, synthesizes, and purifies abbreviated versions of polypeptides (proteins) and then tests them as potential inhibitors of enzymes or membrane interaction, which could be used in the treatment of diabetes and as antibiotics. (Preferred prereq: CHEM 351 or 451)
Organic chemistry is the chemistry of carbon compounds, including plastics, adhesives, coatings, agricultural products, dyes, medicines, and many others. Most of the known chemical substances are organic chemicals.
Dr. Don Snyder: Develops coatings that can be used as probes to be used for detection of various metals (ex. leaching of copper from ships into water). Also, Dr. Snyder uses laser probes to determine the structural integrity of coatings that can be used to protect certain surfaces. (Preferred prereq: CHEM 373)
Physical chemists are interested in understanding the behavior of chemicals in terms of the underlying principles of physics. They measure, calculate, and try to make sense of chemical structures and reactions. Theoretical chemists, computer jocks, and laser chemists are likely to be physical chemists.
Dr. Ross Nord: Performs kinetic studies on the statistics of lattice-filling processes. Particular emphasis is paid to the oxidation of carbon monoxide on catalyst surfaces. Comparison is made between the results of the mathematical models and those of experiment or simulation. (Prereq: CHEM 123)
Polymer chemistry involves the synthesis and study of the very large molecules used in plastics, and is the biggest employment area for chemists.
Undergraduates: The Undergraduate Research Stimulus Program (URSP) is intended to facilitate research or creative partnerships between undergraduate students and EMU faculty.
The award provides:
For more information about URSP contact Dr. Harriet Lindsay, Faculty Associate, Office of Research, Development, and Administration (email@example.com).
Graduate Students: The Graduate School has a Conference Travel Fund for Graduate Students. More information and a link to the application form can be found at the Graduate School's website: http://www.emich.edu/graduate/financial_assistance/scholarships/index.php
The Summer Science Research Initiative (SSRI) is a series of supplemental activities for science and technology students who are on campus working on research projects with their faculty mentors during the summer months. The purpose of the program is to create a community of scholars consisting of both faculty and students that share ideas and get to know each other during a series of events such as general science lectures, laboratory tours, resume-building workshops, etc. The program typically runs from mid-May to mid-July. For more information, please contact Prof. Maria Milletti or Prof. Harriet Lindsay.

The piglets are 11 weeks old and they will be made into bacon next year. But they're really super cute (like dogs, apparently their intelligence is on par with a 3yo child's intelligence according to this video), and I really like the middle piglet cos it looks like it's smiling. When we went over to the pig pen, the three of them rushed up and wanted to be fed. I didn't eat pork for the rest of the day, but my love for charsiew bao and wanton mee is just too great to give up pork!
Darn, I can't find some of my photos, but we had the Salad of Bombay Sapphire cured watermelon with pickled red onions and feta (7.5 pounds) and the chicken liver pate with Maderia jelly which was so awesome I don't think I can settle for other pates anymore.

STL sports chat with Jose de Jesus Ortiz
Bring your Cardinals, Blues and St. Louis sports questions to a live chat hosted by columnist Jose de Jesus Ortiz starting at 1 p.m. Wednesday.
Life is way too short to be so negative. The Cardinals are 4-1 against the Cubs so far this year. They must find a way to fix their bullpen. I will grant you that. As long as Matheny starts Harrison Bader in right field, Pham in center, Ozuna in left, Carpenter at second, Gyorko at third, Martinez at first, Munoz at short and Molina behind the plate, I think the Cardinals can compete with anybody. Unfortunately, a bad bullpen can ruin good starting pitcher. It seems as though Mike Matheny doesn't have much confidence in the guys he has in the bullpen at this time other than Jordan Hicks and Bud Norris.
As long as this team can continue to stay within striking distance of the Cubs and Brewers, I assume the Cardinals will be players at the trade deadline. I don't think they're going to get rid of Fowler, if that's what you're asking. They need to pick their spots and hope that Fowler regains his swing and salvages his season. They'll try to keep Holland on a rehab assignment long enough for him to get straightened out if possible. If he continues to bomb on rehab assignments, though, they might have to eat that contract. They might have to call on Dakota Hudson and Ryan Helsley eventually to fix their bullpen.
I guess the Cards are ok with hitters 7-8-9 becoming automatic outs. Why is Wong still in the line-up at all. I've been reading lately that players with better offensive numbers are getting DFA'd. I'm not saying Wong needs to be DFA's but how but a trip to the 10 day DL and then a trip to AA for rehab. Wong has no authority at all in his swing. Pop ups and grounders to the right side every game.
The Cardinals will have a decision to make when Paul DeJong returns from the disabled list. I wonder if it will make sense to try Gyorko, Carpenter or Munoz at second instead of Wong, who is actually a far superior defensive second baseman than those other three. I'm surprised that Wong hasn't had more success at the plate. I truly expected him to have a breakout season this year.
Jose, with one third of the season elapsed, we can all agree that the Cards offense is horrible. Martinez has been the lone solid hitter, several players haven't hit at all - see Wong and Fowler, and the rest have been streaky at best and that's being kind. The team is at rock bottom of MLB in doubles and triples so it takes three singles in an inning or a HR to score. What is the next best option after Machado to improve this club as few believe the FO will agree to a two month rental on Machado, and concurrently, there are no budding stars in the minors?
Martinez, Molina, Ozuna and Carpenter are having much better seasons than you're willing to admit in this question. I won't argue with your assessment about Fowler or Wong. Actually, if you read my column today you'd know that I think Harrison Bader needs to be the starting right fielder over Fowler now. I'm also not going to make the case for Wong starting. I couldn't justify that opinion. The offense should improve once DeJong returns because that will give the Cardinals a quality bat who could help push Munoz, Carpenter or Gyorko to second for more starts.
The United States will host the final and the two semifinals. That was already decided. I need to double check, but I think I read somewhere today that the final will likely be held in New York/New Jersey while the semifinals will likely be held in Dallas and Atlanta. I think the opener will be held in Mexico City's Azteca Stadium.
That's a good question. I don't know. It might keep his appearances down if you don't have enough relievers to serve as the bridge to maintain the lead after the starter is pulled. It will be interesting to see how they fix this bullpen. As Cecil admitted to Rick Hummel this weekend, he hasn't pitched well enough to earn consistent appearances.
I've been watching closely when Pham has come into the dugout after scoring a run and seeing the reaction from his teammates. Maybe it's my imagination but the reception doesn't appear to be very warm. I've even seen a couple of players walk in the opposite direction or not acknowledge him all together. Last night I saw a shot of Pham at third base with his back to Oquendo while Jose was trying to talk to him, like he wasn't even acknowledging him. I guess a lot can be forgiven if you're a star player but I felt when he got picked off of third last week that he threw Oquendo under the bus. Have you been able to gauge from your clubhouse exposure how that sat with his teammates?
We were actually discussing this in the press box. I wonder if Hicks deserves an All-Star berth this year. He's been brilliant. If you were to pick All-Stars from the Cardinals, I would say that Michael Wacha, Miles Mikolas, Hicks and Carlos Martinez are the most likely candidates at this point. If Martinez finishes the month on a strong note, I could see him earn his third berth. Molina deserves consideration, but I wonder if his month on the disable list with hurt his chances.
So, the Cardinals are 4-4 against the sad sack group of 5th place teams that they have played over the last week or so with a Weaver start tonight to cap it off. If they can't dominate cellar dwellers, what will they do in the upcoming stretch against high level competitive teams? Be glad you clarified your 'If Cards don't make playoffs, you can ask for my job' statement/"joke". I'm sure someone somewhere already had their letter drafted.
The Cardinals should have performed a lot better than they did against the Marlins, but they took two of three from the Reds and still have a chance to take two of three from the Padres. I don't think anybody could have predicted that the bullpen would be decimated by so many injuries. Fowler's struggles have been a drain on the offense as well. Their starting pitching has been strong, and that's the key to success. The offense will improve when DeJong returns. Let's not forget that they've been crippled with injuries to key players since May.
True or false… the Cardinals acquire Manny Machado at the trade deadline.
Follow up question…. Do you ever peruse the Baltimore papers to see that the chatter is up there with Machado? I'm not really in favor of giving up a lot of young talent for a rental player but honestly, this team needs the defibrillator pads placed over the birds on the bat. If we were a serious playoff contender I'd say go for it but this is slightly better than .500 at best.
True. I haven't checked the Baltimore paper, though. I will say that I have sources with knowledge of the Orioles' thinking, and I know they like some of the Cardinals' young, major-league ready players. I know there's a deal to be made there. It's just a matter of how much the Cardinals want to give up.
I don't agree. These guys are professionals. The thing they care about the most is the size of their contract not how a team treated a player who was hitting .176 or lower on June 12. Nobody in baseball would say that Fowler has been treated unfairly by the Cardinals. Do you think the Yankees would have given him these many chances? Do you think the Red Sox would have stuck with him this long? Heck, Fowler might have gotten the Pablo Sandoval treatment by now in Boston.
this fowler/bader situation has to be one of the hardest managerial situations that exist in baseball right now. Bader clearly the better player and younger so needs reps. He also gives the cardinals best chance to win. Fowler in year 2 of a huge 5 year deal and probably the worst everyday guy in the league. What could be a tougher job for MM?
In this column I tried to explain the dilemma by asking Mike Matheny to tell us what he considers when deciding whether to start Fowler or Bader.
Ortiz: Matheny is right to give Bader a spot in lineupstltoday.comIf stats were the only consideration, Matheny surely would have declared Bader his starting right fielder a few weeks ago. But a manager must consider more than advanced metrics when

My mom is a strong believer in rosewater being beneficial to every part of the body and so whenever I'm having skin problems my mom is quick to whip out the bottle of rosewater and that is exactly what I have been doing the last 4 nights.
I'm not a dermatologist or scientist but I can tell you that rosewater is a natural anti-inflammatory which helps to soothe your skin and get rid of the redness,
All you need is:
- Rosewater
- cotton pads
Anyone else swear my rosewater? I'd love to hear your experiences with using rosewater!
*P.S this would work even better if you make rosewater yourself by picking or buying a rose and then boil the pedals in a pot of hot water!

Regulating Within a Budget
Featured in The Regulatory Review series: New Developments in Regulatory Benefit-Cost Analysis
Read the full article at The Regulatory Review
Presidents of both parties have long required federal agencies to conduct benefit-cost analyses to weigh the likely positive and negative consequences of new regulations before they are issued. But during his first year in office, President Donald J. Trump presided over what his Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) administrator Neomi Rao has called a "fundamental shift."
Focusing on the negative consequences of regulations, President Trump directed agencies to reduce regulatory costs. By signing congressional resolutions, he rescinded 15 recent regulations before they went into effect. He also ordered agencies to modify or remove other existing regulations, and his agencies have dramatically slowed the pace of new regulation.
Yet despite his different rhetoric on regulation, President Trump continues to require agencies to make decisions based on an understanding of regulatory benefits and costs...

Pic : Stupid Unmad Gang
'Unmad', the Sanskrit word for 'Mad' or 'Insane',
'UNMAD' itself is a History. It is difficult to write a History of a History (pun added). If you want to describe it as only a Cartoon and Satire magazine- well- you can. Then you could say this magazine started in May, 1978 and have been running since then. But you have to add that this is the longest running regular monthly magazine (not as the Cartoon magazine only) of the country, and it is the only longest running Cartoon magazine of the south Asia! (Here comes the History part.) Two college students KAZI KHALED ASHRAF and ISHTIAQ HOSSAIN started this magazine in their early 20s with SAIFUL HAQUE and ILIAS KHAN. Their amateurish first issue was a massive hit among the young and adult group of readers of Bangladesh. It was sold out- all of its 3000 copies within a month. They were excited and printed the next issue up to 6000 copies and the result was amazing! Again 3000 copies sold. That's it-No more sell. They found it as the optimum circulation for Bangladesh. (We are joking and you get that right?) . At the second issue AHSAN HABIB (present Editor) joined the gang with NAWSHAD NABI, REZA UN NABI and SULTANUL ISLAM as a Cartoonist. They all were just University first year student at that time. Unmad was a tri-monthly magazine at that time. at the 9th issue AHSAN HABIB take over the responsibility of the UNMAD publications from the founder editors. At this point he started it in a professional workflow and made it a monthly one with SAGAR KHANDAKAR as the managing Editor. UNMAD has broken a record in magazine circulation in late 80s. It's circulation was 28000. During that time a group of young Cartoonists and idea writers like SAJJAD KABIR, ENAMUL KARIM NIRJHAR, KAZI TAPASH and MUSTAFIZUR RAHMAN joined the magazine house.
In late 90s a new group joined the team. As writers, ROMEN RAYHAN, ASRAR MASUD, AZIZUL ABEDIN, OBIDUL GANI CHANDAN, ANIK KHAN and BAPPI joined the team and as Cartoonist, TARIQUL ISLAM SHANTU, IQBAL HOSSAIN SHANU, ZAVED HOSSAIN, FARID, MUNIR HOSSEIN, MEHEDI AND SHAHRIAR . In next session a more younger group joined the team including TARIK SAIFULLAH, TANMOY, KHALED SAIFULLAH, MITU, and SHIKHA.
Eventually the house became as the Cartoon Institution of Bangladesh. Almost all the Cartoonists professional Cartoonists of Bangladesh started their career in UNMAD house as intern. Some renowned professionals like NAZRUL ISLAM, ASIFUL HUDA, SHISHIR BHATTACHARJEE, also contributed in this magazine occasionally. UNMAD also had initiated the first ever professional Cartoon course in Bangladesh in 2007. Till now eight batches of aspirant amateur Cartoonists have completed the course and a good number of them are now doing Cartoon in present print and electronic media.
UNMAD has also popular by products, such as stickers, Posters, T-shirt, mugs, key rings and other small gift items. These popular items are available exclusively in National Book fair stalls.
UNMAD has passed its 36 years of publication and celebrated it's 300th issue in August, 2014.

Decker Becoming Stronger Driver with New Race Team
Natalie Decker brought home a 12th-place finish in penultimate race of the 2016 season at State Park Speedway last Thursday night.
Despite grabbing a few wins earlier in the year, the midseason transition from racing the No. 04 car to racing the No. 36 the past few weeks has been a challenging task.
"We are still trying to find the issue with the 36 car on why the handling changes abruptly after it runs and handles pretty good for about 10 laps," Decker said. "It feels like something is wrong with the rear end so this week we will be doing some testing, hopefully Brian Back will find the answer. Brian has been great to work with and is really smart with the car along with his racing experience so I have faith we will get it fixed for our last race at State Park this Thursday."
Armed with New Car, Decker Pumped for ARCA MT Opener
Seventeen-year-old Late Model racer Natalie Decker is set to tackle the 2016 ARCA Midwest Tour season, which kicks off this Sunday with the Joe Shear Classic at Madison International Speedway. Armed with a new car and high expectations, the Eagle River, Wisconsin driver is excited to get back on track.
"I am so excited to race the new Super Late Model," said Decker. "Chris Wimmer built the car with a victory circle chassis and my car chief Tom Ress has been working hard setting it up for the ARCA Midwest Tour race at Madison International Speedway."
Decker had a chance to shake down her new No. 04 machine last week at State Park Speedway (WI), where she also plans to compete on a regular basis. After a short practice session, Decker says she feels good about the new piece and is ready to tackle the half-mile that is Madison International Speedway.
"This will be the first time I have jumped into a new car so it will be fun shaking her down at Madison," said Decker. "Last week we took Ella, that's her name, out on the track at State Park for her first ever test and I really liked the way she handled."
The 18-year-old driver is no stranger to the tough competition of the ARCA Midwest Tour, so it's no wonder she sets the bar high entering the season. She competed in a handful of events last year and earned a career best third-place finish at Norway Speedway (MI).
In last year's Joe Shear Classic, Decker qualified 13th, but was forced to retire early with mechanical issues. She hopes to get that turned around and start on a strong note this year.
"Heading into the first ARCAMT race my focus will be on qualifying the car into the race and working together with my crew chief Tom to communicate the handling so we get the car dialed in for the 100 lap race," said Decker. "I have high expectations for myself, so a successful race weekend would be taking home the win. The ARCAMT has a very strong field of drivers and crew and I am really looking forward to competing with the best."
Fans hoping to follow along with Natalie's progress this weekend can check-out Speed51.com's Speed Central coverage, which will updates from Madison International Speedway. Coverage starts at 11:00am CDT on Speed51.com

In our continuing look at how the new face of finance is putting the pressure on banks, now a new equity-based crowdfunding platform could be gearing up to unsettle the investing world, and this time attention is on finance. Unlike Kickstarter, Indiegogo, and other crowdfunding sites, the recently launched BnkToTheFuture says it plans to disrupt the status quo of crowdfunding by allowing investors to share in the rewards of their investments and to become shareholders in the companies.
The global online investment platform allows investors to invest in financial companies, funds and other new and alternative financial products. Co-founder and CEO, Simon Dixon, is a former investment banker, trader and stock broker (and a former director at the UK Digital Currency Association and UK CrowdFunding Association) who left the industry in 2006. Dixon says the future of finance is going to look very different from the way it looks today, and even from the way ԴraditionalԠcrowdfunding platforms function today. Unlike stories such as the development of Oculus Rift (which raised $x on Kickstarter, was then acquired by Facebook for $10 million, but shared not of the gains with supporters), BnkToTheFuture offers investors the opportunity to invest in the companies and products that it says are building the future of finance.
New Tools, New Currencies, New Thinking
Of the $7 million already raised by BnkToTheFuture to date, 21 percent have been with Bitcoin and the platform continues to focus on helping investors who are new to the Crypto and Blockchain space make their first investments in the virtual currency sector. BnkToTheFuture also pays dividends in Bitcoin to get investors used to using Bitcoin, which, for many investors, is a first time experience.
BnkToTheFuture works with a variety of Bitcoin-related projects, including Shapeshift, Bitcoin Capital, Satoshi Point, Mimex and more. And because the platform is focused on financial innovation and technology, it emphasizes investments in businesses that are not only Bitcoin-based but also Crypto and Blockchain-based businesses. And their investment seems to be paying off. Last week, MegaNet founder Kim Dotnet announced on Twitter that he would be partnering with BnkToTheFuture and Max Keiser to raise capital for his new anti-spying Internet project. Now that's something to think about.
So how does BnkToTheFuture work? The platform pools together investors from around the world so that each investment opportunity has a ңrowdҠof potential investors, which then pushes the company or investment forward. BnkToTheFuture says its team of financial experts often invest their own funds in the investment opportunities listed on the site so that the platform and its investorsҠinterests are aligned. So, depending on the investment itself, even people with very little experience (and limited investing funds) could potentially get in on this investment opportunity.
Diverse, Interesting Opportunities
Some of BnkToTheFuture previously successful investment rounds also make for interesting reading; these include crowdfunding platforms such as StartJoin (a crowdfunding site that offers its own currency) and the BnkToTheFuture platform itself; specialist funds that invest in financial innovation, bonds backed by Bitcoin mining; the Mimex global Bitcoin exchange; and pretty much everything in between.
According to Dixon, BnkToTheFuture's founders came up with the concept of financial equity based crowdfunding back in 2011, and spent the next four years investing in developing their ideas. As with many financial ventures, BnkToTheFuture says that the hardest part of launching their business was overcoming regulatory hurdle, which they have succeeded in doing.
Will you be willing to take the leap into virtual currency investments and cutting-edge financial tools?

Wild At Heart
● By anonymous
story: Jim Dyar photos: Kara Stewart
As a favor to Susan Klopfer, please do not mention any new action-adventure activities you might be involved in. There's too much on her plate already. Plus, she has a serious weak spot for anything that involves adrenaline.
We're talking about a woman, after all, who has ridden on the back of ostriches. She's raced camels in Australia. She drives her Mini Cooper sports car at high speeds on racetracks like Laguna Seca, Thunderhill Raceway Park and Infineon. She flies ultralight planes, skydives and has ridden her 20-year-old Harley-Davidson across the country. And this is just scratching the surface.
"I'm an adrenaline junkie," says Klopfer. "There's so much to do and experience doing in life. I'll try anything."
When she's not hurling along at high speeds, you might find Klopfer waiting tables at the Cedar Tree Restaurant in Palo Cedro, an establishment she's owned for the past 21 years. Some of her patrons tip her and tell her to put the money toward her exciting lifestyle. Not everyone can be so daring, but they do enjoy living vicariously through her.
At the Cedar Tree, Klopfer says she and her staff pride themselves on the "real food" made from scratch, generous portions and a comfortable atmosphere where customers feel right at home. "We're not a chain," she adds. "It's just me and my crew." Down a hallway that leads to her office, several photos reveal the diversity and colorful nature of her life.
Klopfer was a Pro Rodeo Cowboy Association barrel racer for seven years and won two California Cowboy Pro Rodeo Association state championships. The sport took her all across the United States, feeding both her passion for speed and her love for travel.
"I loved the performance of the horse and I loved seeing the country, all the small towns," Klopfer says. "I was gone on the road so much, almost 12 months a year. I got wrapped up in it pretty good, but I still had this other life."
Those who know Klopfer know she loves more than just horses. She owns two zebras (Zahara and Zeus), two camels (Nile and Hannibal), an Asian water buffalo (Boomerang), an ostrich (Shaba), two miniature donkeys and two horses.
She uses the animals to help advertise for the restaurant, but just to keep things straight – they're never actually on the menu.
"They're my pets, my kids," she says. "I don't have a good story (for why I have them). You just do what feels good to you. People say, 'But they're exotic.' I say, 'No, I got them all here in the United States.' "
During a trip to the Kentucky Derby in 1992, Klopfer found herself at a zoo called the Kentucky Down Under. She found out where the zoo had acquired a camel, and within hours, she was at a camel farm purchasing one of her own. Over the years, she learned where to obtain the other animals domestically.
Aside from restaurants, action sports and interesting animals, Klopfer is also a big fan of world travel. She rode a camel to see the Great Pyramids in Egypt (as well as a boat trip on the Nile River). She's been on a photo safari that covered most of Kenya. She's traveled to New Zealand, Japan, Mexico, the Caribbean and nearly every country in Europe.
A native of Los Angeles who was raised in tiny Hyampom (near Hayfork), Klopfer's parents were also fans of traveling. Staring at her father's photos as a kid made her want to visit every place he had snapped an image.
She looks for sweet deals on the Internet and isn't afraid to leave at a moment's notice. Traveling is its own kind of adrenaline rush.
"When you go to a foreign country you're going to experience something and you don't know what," Klopfer says. "I'm not a tour bus person."
So what explains Klopfer's passion for soaking in every ounce of life she can? A near-death experience more than two decades ago left her thankful for every day. She also overcame a fight with cancer in 1986. More recently, becoming single has increased her interest in getting out and trying new experiences.
"My whole thing is, you make life what you want it to be," she says. "Every day that the sun rises and sets is the best day of my life. You don't let life pass you by."

As he has before, Trump criticized past administrations for not acting more forcefully on North Korea, though he did not specify whether he meant shutting down the nation's nuclear weapons program or dealing with human rights violations, or both. His damaged limbs were amputated without anesthesia, and he was tortured by North Korean authorities.
Most Koreans from either side of the border and the worldwide community have described these steps as positive, especially when a peaceful solution to the nuclear crisis on the peninsula seemed far away.
Since taking office, President Donald Trump has distanced himself somewhat from the two-state solution - the outcome favored by the worldwide community, including Trump's predecessors, for the past two decades.
"Having said that, we also have said that all options are on the table and by all options, it has to include military options". There has been a rumour mill doing rounds within the Trump administration that the USA armed forces are planning the execution of a preventive or limited strike against Kim Jong Un's regime.
Ji has made it his mission to tell the world about the oppressive North Korea regime and runs a group that advocates for human rights.
The North Koreans are the second and final batch of 22 athletes from their country who have won special entries from the International Olympic Committee for the February 9-25 games in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
The physical facilities may have been satisfactory, but the internet service was slow, despite North Korea charging the visitors $4.60 every 30 minutes, said the pool report, with some journalists giving up on using it altogether.
"I think the US president is wisest when he applies maximum pressure on the North".
North Korean flags also flew during the 2014 Incheon Asian Games, the last time the North sent a big delegation to a sporting event across the border.
Military leaders, on the other hand, have admitted that the U.S. military was in the midst of planning out and drilling for the prospect of war with North Korea.
"Let's cut the rhetoric, let's cut the tension, let's cut the nonsense and bravado, and let's get busy and start following what the South Koreans are doing in finding openings with the North", he told Defense News.
Guterres travels to South Korea on Wednesday.

A Houzz survey indicated that 91% of the participants were planning to have energy-efficient toilets installed during their bathroom remodel.

Let's face it. Operating is not for everyone. I personally have a love/hate relationship with it; like it when I'm used to it and dropping pounds and hate it when I haven't accomplished it in a while. Such is the dilemma of homeostasis; the body simply desires to resist change from no matter state it is in. It doesn't matter what your body would possibly do at first, and no matter how arduous it is there is no such thing as a denying the health benefits of placing your feet to the bottom and transferring. It is strongly recommended to restrict your consumption of fats and sugar. Sweets will immediately restore power, but the feeling will not final long. Quickly there shall be a sudden drop of sugar level in blood, so you will really feel even more sluggish. Use meals that contain complex of carbohydrates. They are the best ally in the fight towards spring fatigue. There are potatoes, pasta and other cereal products. Nutritionists say that even small amounts of carbohydrate are ample to provoke the body's personal production of serotonin, a hormone that causes a feeling of happiness.
Second, mounding up hay or straw around the plants before the primary snowfall can also help winterize your crops within the north. However, it have to be eliminated or spread round as soon as spring occurs, otherwise chances are you'll find yourself with a sopping mess that may trigger mold development and root rot. The perfect known approach to forestall premature getting older is to regulate the oxidative stress in our bodies.
CPR coaching lessons can be found for every level of pupil, whether or not they're a whole beginner, new mother or father, or a healthcare skilled.

Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation or CPR coaching can teach you how one can react and save a life in a medical emergency. Whether or not you are a new father or mother, a firefighter or a lifeguard, first help coaching and CPR is a useful skill in plenty of emergency situations. Many professions actually require certification as a prerequisite for employment. After all healthcare staff together with physicians, nurses, EMTs and paramedics are required to have CPR coaching and certification to be on the job.
In fact, if this invoice stands as much as the approaching constitutional challenges, it should come to be an awesome tragedy. If not struck down by the Supreme Court this can mark the beginning of recent expanded powers of the federal authorities to regulate THE WHOLE LOT. It is a blow to freedom and a denunciation of the unique ideas that separated America from the rest of the world. I'm really saddened by it is passage and now can only hope for a successful challenge by the states in Supreme Court to nullify it.

To: Alan Shepard, President and Vice-Chancellor
Roger Côté, Vice President Services
Andrew Woodall, Dean of Students
cc: Richard Schmid, Chair of the Department of Education
Faculty members in the Department of Education
Students in the Department of Education
Graduate Students Association
We are writing to raise our concerns regarding the Department of Education's planned move from the Library Building to the Faubourg Building in Spring 2015. After careful consultations with a number of graduate and undergraduate students, we wish to inform you of our serious reservations regarding this proposed move. Even though we support that the library needs to be expanded to provide resources to students, this does not mean that the Department of Education needs to be undervalued. Considering that the Department of Education's move to the Library Building in 1992 was temporary, and the library expansion project has been planned for years, we do not understand how in twenty-two years the university has not developed a better plan for the relocation of our department. As it is now we are rushed to move to the Faubourg Building's fifth and sixth floors where the infrastructure is inappropriate for academic activities due to low ceilings that are impeding the design of good learning spaces. In addition, the building is a mall, with rats, drug dealers and a Dollarama.
It seems that Concordia University is following a trend that devalues Departments of Education by placing them in undesirable locations (The Trouble with Ed Schools, Labaree, 2004). Ironically, the University, as an institutional symbol of Education, is according less importance to education as a discipline. When a university is supposed to give students hope, instead our university has given us a dark feeling of the future for educational progress. Adding to the bitterness of this situation is the undemocratic process with which the department's plan to relocate has been carried out. Furthermore, in this dodgy process, students have been completely excluded.
There is a consensus among the Department of Education graduate and undergraduate students that the planned move of our department has been very poorly communicated to us. We have surveyed our members and there is tangible evidence of this fact. One hundred and forty-two undergraduate and graduate students responded to our survey, conducted in Spring 2014. 87% responded that they have not been properly informed about the move, and 47% said they did not know that the department is moving. The survey also showed that those students who knew about the move were informed either by professors (24%) or students (25%), and not by the department or any public information. Importantly 72% of respondents are against moving the department to the Faubourg.
As we express our indignation about the move, we want to bring to your attention that student voices were not considered at all in this process. Somehow we need to remind you of the importance of students in a university. Therefore, we now demand to be involved in further decision making processes.
In the following pages we outline our position and demands.
Our Position
DOEIGSA General assembly position voted on April 24th 2014:
"Be it resolved that DOEIGSA mobilizes against the department's move to the Faubourg and demands that the university find a more suitable location."
The position of the Department of Education Interdisciplinary Graduate Student Association (DOEIGSA) is that the Faubourg building is an inappropriate choice for our department for the following reasons:
- As the undergraduate classes are normally held in the Hall building there is a growing concern that the move to Faubourg will isolate our department from the mainstream of university life.
- The Faubourg space is limited in scope for any growth to accommodate more students and therefore limits the Department of Education's capacity to expand.
- Due to the low ceilings, the floors designated for the Department of Education are not conducive to an academic environment.
- The proposed space will have more of a shopping mall-type atmosphere.
- The safety at night of the location, much is going on, such as drug dealing
Our Student and Community Learning Spaces
We care about our educational environment. Currently there are 388 graduate students and close to 1000 undergraduate students studying in the Department of Education at Concordia. We are committed to our studies, and we also care about building a community of learners that feel at home and welcome in the department to pursue all types of projects and activities.
Effective student spaces are vital for conducting our work and studies. Students are busy and involved with a variety of things outside attending classes: research projects, committees, student associations, organizing conferences, reading, studying, research assistantships and teaching assistantships, just to name a few. Therefore, we want to play an active role in this proposed move.
Our Demands:
- To have an equal voice in the decision making process regarding the Department's move to the Faubourg building.
- To have a well-advertised meeting organized by the administration inviting all education students to discuss the move, answer lingering questions and be open to our suggestions. We strongly suggest that this meeting be held before the end of the Fall semester.
- To conduct a needs assessment survey of what students want in their new department.
- To have a tour of the new space and allow student representatives to take pictures to communicate to other students what is happening.
- For the new department space to have a clearly-defined common student area for study, socializing and collaboration.

Pintu at Old Malaya: Restaurant ReviewRosalyn
June 27, 2018
Old Malaya on Lorong Raja Chulan houses a number of restaurants and bars, offering a selection of different cuisines. Ranging from northern Indian specialties all the way to a seafood restaurant, the whole row gives off chill vibes, and seems like a nice place to catch up over drinks. Pintu is one of the newer kids on the block that we had yet to try, so we fixed that with a visit sometime last week. Read on for an idea of what to expect from this relatively new Western fusion restaurant and bar.We started the evening properly, with cocktails, of course. The Lychee martini (RM28) was an enjoyable one. Made with vodka, lychee syrup, lychee liquor, and lime juice, it was sweet, slightly sour, and all-around tasty. If you don't intend to get tipsy, stay away from this easy-to-drink option. And then there was the Succubus (RM28). Gin, lime, cointreau, cucumber, and grenadine were used in this seemingly light-flavoured, yet naughty cocktail. If you need mocktail options, we quite liked both the ones we tried – Blueberries Blaze (RM26) and Twister (RM22). The former contained blueberries, mint, and tea, while the latter was a pleasant mix of lime, cranberry, and pineapple. Both were refreshing, and worked well as thirst-quenchers.
To officially start the meal, a warm bowl of Porcini mushroom soup (RM25) was served. It was made with creamy mushrooms, dried porcini flakes, and black truffle oil, and delicious. The toasted garlic-flavoured baguettes on the side were perfect, well-seasoned accompaniments.
The Autumn salad (RM28) came next. It was a proper salad, with components like arugula, spinach, peach fruit compote with dried cranberries, soft ricotta cheese, crispy croutons, grapes, and cashew nuts. We liked this combination of textures and flavours. The Parmesan crisps that topped it further provided a satisfying crunch.For our first main, we had the Grilled Norwegian salmon with green pea puree, roasted potatoes, and baby carrots (RM60). The salmon was seasoned and cooked well, and the entire dish was tied together nicely by the lemon cream sauce and the green pea puree.
Then, we tried something more local. The Spiced grilled chicken with savoury tomato rice, crispy lotus root, and mild coconut gravy (RM48) was tasty enough. It came with a side of pickled vegetables that were, interestingly, spiced with star anise. The pappadoms added a welcome crunch to the dish.Dessert took the form of an interesting Oreo cheesecake with blueberry coulis and sugared raspberry (RM28). The blueberry flavour was distinct, adding a whole other layer of flavour to the otherwise typical Oreo cheesecake. We recommend sharing this dessert to properly enjoy it.

Attributed to McKay Allen, Director of Global Marketing, Ivanti
Ivanti has talked a lot lately about their vision for Unifying IT, about breaking down siloes and improving IT departments at companies across the world. They've even built their products and their pricing around this message of unifying IT departments.
If your organisation is like most—your IT tools and processes sit with different teams, with everyone too busy to even think about how to bring them together. Imagine how reporting, communication, and response time would improve if data and processes were shared between tools and teams!
But what are some examples, some specific use-cases, that show how IT can be unified and improved?
On-boarding and Off-boarding
Imagine automating every IT, facilities, and HR process when a new hire starts. Provision software automatically provides access to software, whitelist or blacklist certain applications or portions of applications. Do this automatically based on their job title. And does it across all software in your company simply by putting in one service request.
And when that employee leaves the organisation, do they still have access to SFDC or Adobe? Not with on-boarding and off-boarding from Ivanti. The second they leave, you can automatically take away all permissions, software, and even know in real-time what hardware you need back.
Not only does this save the time of your existing IT and HR employees, but it also makes your new hires far more productive and significantly reduces risks of security loopholes when an employee leaves.
To accomplish this level of automation takes more than a single product. There are elements of ITSM workflows, automation, IT asset management and other products in this use case. These are things other IT vendors simply can't provide.
Multi-Layered Security Defense
The basics of IT security like Application Control, Privilege management, and maybe most important of all, patching, can't be neglected. And Ivanti does that better than anyone.
But you also can't protect endpoints you don't have. That's why having state-of-the-art UEM and ITAM is important too.
IT security isn't just about IT Security products, it's about having the ability to holistically manage and monitor IT and IT processes. Infrastructure is a major contributor to being able to then secure those same IT systems.
Trying to manage and solve problems in siloes is somewhat like a use case for the old folktale of the blind men and the elephant – essentially you cannot get the full picture if you work in isolation. Ivanti's approach to Unifying IT not only saves time and drives efficiency, it provides a level of insight that actually drives new levels of business improvement. If you want to solve actual IT problems across function in your IT organisation, you need to start Unifying IT with Ivanti.

There's no question that we are a mobile society. We are constantly plugged in to get the latest news updates, and scores from the big game. Not to mention we have the options to receive bank statements, receipts, even energy bills digitally. The service industry is no exception. More and more service companies are going mobile and here are 5 things they love about it.
The customer gets an electronic invoice immediately after purchase.
Electronic invoices benefit both the customer and service provider. Technicians can easily access documentation of repairs, equipment, and cost. Furthermore, filing and searching invoices is quick and easy.
Document links are available on mobile devices.
Secondly, document links enable technicians to store and access any digital document connected to a customer. This includes purchase orders, work orders, equipment, vendor information, and more. Imagine being out in the field and realizing the document you need is on your computer back at the office. First, you have to get someone in the office on the phone. Of course, this leads to a lengthy phone conversation as the person on the other end shares the details contained in the document. With document links, technicians can simply access what they need from their mobile device, saving everyone involved time.
Price consistency across every device throughout the company.
Nothing is more frustrating for a service technician than to present an invoice to a customer who was quoted a different price. Having old pricing sheets floating around can cause confusion and inconsistency throughout your company. Once your technicians are mobile, pricing becomes digital. From there, everyone has the most up to date version at their fingertips.
Ability to research service records for their customer's equipment.
This benefit is key not only to your field technicians, but also to your office staff. Eliminate constant calls or trips to the office with access to service records and equipment information in the field. This allows for greater speed, better customer satisfaction, more jobs, and more revenue.
No more physical paperwork.
Lastly, technicians often misplace service records and other paperwork in service trucks. It's so easy for a paper copy to get lost between the seats, on the floor, or under tools. Eliminating physical paperwork reduces headaches for technicians and customers alike.

The new ProfiSwitch X5 outclasses all existing repeaters and hubs in the PROFIBUS market. This transparent hub has the ability to use different bit rate on each channel. Normally, the transmission speed is fixed and becomes an obstacle when PROFIBUS segments require their individual speed setting because of design requirements or bug fixing.
The advanced technology of the ProfiSwitch X5 converts the main channel to other transmission speeds and acts as a transparent proxy (comparable with PA links). All channels are set to 5 retries for improved reliability. The ProfiSwitch X5 can be used in new applications and existing installations that require bit rate reduction and transformation.
See the ProfiSwitch X5 page for more information. Or the general Hubs, Repeaters and Terminators page for other options
