Travelling is important as it transform us. By taking a break from your daily routine and your regular life style, we should travel by staying away from the technology and getting engaged in new activities.
Here are my top reasons why travel is important:
1. We get to learn and educate about new places and their history. It helps us to pick new words in a different language. We might run into a difficult or tough situation where we need to be smart and think differently. It helps you to become much smarter in a demanding situation. It helps us to Connect to other cultures and people. It helps to expand our awareness and knowledge.
2. We all are a human being not a robot. We work like a donkey and leading a fast-paced life to compete with others to sustain in market. Our body needs a break. Gives us a break from our fast lives, recharge ourselves by travelling. It helps, try it.
3. Most importantly travel help us to break various myth about new places, their culture, food and habits. We get various "first-time" experiences during the travel which definitely make us stronger; mentally, physically, and emotionally. Travel helps us to give some time to heal which in turn reduces stress and helps us regain enthusiasm for life.
4. We get a chance to meet strangers which may lead to interact with them. It helps us to understand distinct set of people with different mindset and approach. It also helps us to improve our psychology. It helps us to get to know our self better. Something like "Rediscover our self". Believe it or not, social networks is a real thing – in real life. Damn, I know. Establishing new connections and building a network with them is one of the smartest things you can do in today's world.
5. Every trip will make you a better story teller. You have lots of stories to share. Who do you think people want to listen to? someone who spent his vacations at home doing cooking or watching soccer, or the one who spent a week in Goa, driving a scooty with his friend's or doing sky diving at St. Kilda beach at Melbourne or trying some deliciously spicy food in Hyderabad? Think about it because I know which kind of story I want to hear. It creates a life time memory for your grandchildren. Believe me, you will be a best grand parent for your grand kids.
"The most magical thing about home is that it feels good to leave, and it feels even better to come back". Today, plan your new year trip for 2020. Go somewhere new where you have never been before. Try something adventurous! Love yourself, love your life and love to spend time with yourself and family.

I picked up this Remington Rand typewriter today…a $20 find on Craigslist. VERY excited as I've been coveting these for awhile, so I know this is a very good bargain. I started researching the Remington brand at this site, and it appears that mine is a Model No. 17…a World War II era typewriter.
I knew my kids would love this because they were like moths to a flame every time we visited a vintage store. They seemed fascinated by the mechanics of it…something I loved to see.
The coolest part is:
It works like a charm. And my daughter can be heard typing, keys snapping away in the background as I type this.
"Antiquing can be fun," she says.
When I was eight years old, my family started an antique show that was held once per month. Vendors came in from all over the eastern part of the country to set up. We would spend the entire month preparing for that single day.
My earliest job was handling incoming phone calls when potential dealers would call to book their booth. I had to learn to be professional on the phone (even at 8), take proper phone messages with details, and to be ready to answer basic questions about the show. Enough information that an adult family member could call them back.
On the day of the show, I would get up at 2 or 3 a.m. along with the rest of the family. I admittedly slept on the way there, but once we arrived, I was expected to work just like everyone else.
After we flipped tables that were reserved for the 100 or so vendors, I would place numbers on the tables so that vendors could find their location upon arrival. My next job was to man the "coffee window" and had the chance to use an old cash register like the one pictured below. I eventually learned how to make change for larger bills.
My Grandmothers were always nearby to bail me out if I got confused making change, but I grasped it eventually with full mastery of the skill as I got older. People were always very kind, and made sure they gave the little girl behind the window exact change whenever possible.
One day per month doesn't seem like much, but it was a long one. I remember extreme exhaustion towards the end of the day, and I never missed school which was the very next day. Throughout the show I would take breaks and sit with my mother to work the admission desk, or occasionally walk around the entire arena and check out cool ephemera, vintage pictures, old signage, baseball cards, old tools…and through osmosis I knew about some of the most obscure items and their practical use. My Grandmother was always very well educated on some of the strangest items, and was a very well-liked lady who knew all the vendors. She was fun to walk around with. I'd often make rounds with her and talk to the dealers, and if I found something that interested me, I'd take a family member out to show them. I started collecting dolls around that time (Nancy Ann Storybook dolls) and eventually I had quite a menagerie of items I acquired over the years.
My family sold the antique show when I was fifteen. While it provided me with a solid foundation for curating old items, as well as upcycling and repurposing, I have to re-learn a bit. Admittedly, I was a bit burnt out on antiques in my early 20's (like anyone starting out on their own, I wanted new items). Eventually, I came to appreciate the character that antiques can offer my builders-bland home, and I am gaining momentum with antiquing again.
I do worry that my kids are devoid of that kind of exposure, so I'm very excited when I see them enjoying thrifting and repurposing as a way to get lost in yesteryear. As I sit here and type this on a Sunday evening, my daughter is up to 8 stories on our new, vintage Remington…and has been anxiously reading each and every silly snippet to me. Something about hearing the keys snap in the background makes her feel like she's "working".
I asked her why she was enjoying it so much, since she has iPads, laptops, desktops available.
And she said "because I feel like a REAL author, just like the olden days".
And to this I say…mission accomplished.

Proprietary SNCR Technology Introduced
LP Amina's new patented SNCR technology provides further NOx pollution reduction
LP Amina's has developed a new cost-effective method to deliver improved nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission reduction, combining LP Amina's existing combustion optimization expertise with newly patented selective non-catalytic reduction technology (SNCR).
Fossil fuel power plants seeking to reduce their air pollution emissions have increasingly sought pollution reduction methods which do not require the erection of complex treatment plants. These treatment facilities are most commonly used to treat emissions from coal-fired power plants. Building treatment plants, such as flue gas desulfurization (FGD) towers for sulfur pollution (SOx) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) for NOx pollution require an investment of millions of dollars (typically 3-10% the cost of the total power plant) and may require substantial site modification, not physically possible at some locations. Many plants now realize that the greatest emissions benefit at the lowest cost can be realized by modification of the existing power plant boiler. Combustion modification of the boiler can reduce NOx emissions with just a small percentage of the investment necessary for an SCR system. Unlike with SCR systems which require ongoing expense for catalysts, ammonia and other supplies as well as additional operation and maintenance personnel, combustion optimization projects result in little if any recurring expense.
LP Amina as a leader in combustion optimization has achieved impressive results for its combustion optimization projects. The recent Yixing and Wang Long projects, both in China, have reduced NOx emissions up to 65%. These projects have increased the plants energy efficiency and have resulted in reduced operating cost. However, for some locations 60% NOx emission reduction is not quite enough. Recognizing the needs of some customers to achieve even greater NOx emission reduction, LP Amina has developed a new method to combine combustion optimization with SNCR technology. LP Amina patent pending SNCR system with combustion optimization can provide Nox reduction in excess of 80% from baseline conditions.
Traditional SNCR designs have received considerable attention as a low cost NOx reduction option requiring far less initial cost than an SCR plant. Unfortunately traditional SNCR projects have often delivered disappointing NOx removal performance. The LP Amina Combustion Optimization/SNCR system was developed to improve on the performance limitations of traditional SNCR systems. According to the LP Amina retrofit design overfired-air injector ports and fuel injector ports are added along all four of the boiler's walls with two parallel ports just in from the boiler corner.This design reduces the amount of NOx created in combustion. The SNCR effect is then created with liquid aerosol injectors, which spray SNCR droplets from the air injectors ports and reduce NOx pollution even further. The LP Amina dual combustion optimization/SNCR system can be applied to boilers, metallurgical melt furnaces, incinerators and other furnaces.
LP Amina's new combined combustion optimization/SNCR system is an economical method to reduce NOx emissions 60-80% and represents an important, yet practical contribution to clean combustion technology.

A wilderness with grizzlies is different from a tamer wilderness with just bees and snakes.
A week earlier, I sat on a Toklat River bridge watching a grizzly follow my trail. Then on August 24th, that bear (or one of a dozen others in the area) killed a backpacker who didn't follow the park's "Bear Aware" rules.
Denali National Park in Alaska is well run. Park Service rangers and guides repeatedly emphasize bear, wolf and moose safety. For bears, stay two football fields away. If one emerges from a closer thicket, stand tall, say "Hey Bear!" in a loud but calm voice. If a bear approaches you, wave your arms above your head to make yourself appear bigger. Talk firmly but calmly to the bear. (For a wolf, in contrast, use the tone you would with a bad dog.)
Rangers apparently try to reassure us by explaining, over and over, that most bear charges are merely to test you. If you stand firm, most bears veer away at the last minute. Reassuring?
They also offer this advice. If a bear "makes contact," lie down and play dead. Keep your backpack on if you're wearing one, because the bear may gnaw on the pack without hurting you. Adopt a fetal position. Lace your fingers behind your neck, as that will provide some protection there.
I found the advice less and less reassuring as these tutorials proceeded. That may have been the rangers' intent. Next was the contrast between grizzly and black bear attacks. Black bears are likely looking for dinner so I should fight back. Denali grizzlies are largely herbivores and will most likely attack because they're startled, to defend blueberry patches or for other non-carnivorous reasons.
Rangers didn't give us pointers about how to fight back. To me the very least reassuring advice was the added detail offered by some rangers. "If a grizzly does start to eat you, then fight back."
I was in Denali to appreciate the ecosystem. I saw three grizzlies, caribou, golden eagles, arctic ground squirrels, bear-flower, gentians, monkshood, reindeer moss and at least a thousand other species of plants and animals, most of which I couldn't identify to species but all of which added up to an inspired bliss.
I dearly love the richness of life in true wilderness. Coral reefs, tallgrass prairies and alpine meadows are favorites. The overwhelming variety of color and shape gets to me.
My partner Linda took photos of our first bear from the safety of the bus. Private cars are banned. Wilderness could not abide the traffic that would jam the park's one road. Color coded busses take hundreds of people a day down the 92 miles of unpaved inspiration. The green eco-busses are the best. They'll drop you off wherever you ask and pick you up whenever you hail them.
We'd signed up with half a dozen other wilderness fans for a hike led by a park guide. She had intended to take us down a mostly dry river bed, across dead rocks, with a brief excursion to an "alpine meadow shelf" at the end. We abandoned the planned route in part because this was one of the about three days a month when Mt. McKinley emerged from the clouds, and views of it seem to be much sought after. Our guide also probably noticed three of our little group, on hands and knees, thrilled by our first glimpses of the miniature flora. We took a vote, and she led us, trampling across this precious landscape, to a high ridge where we saw the mountain. Later she'd map the hike; not more than two hikes a year can cross the same ground in this six million-acre park. The tundra recovers slowly from trampling. Wilderness is foremost.
Golly how awed I am by the magic of an alpine meadow. We puzzled over gentians, saxifrages, betonies and identified many of them from a picture book our guide excavated from her standard guide backpack. Also in that pack, an emergency radio: she taught us how to use it in case she was incapacitated. She assured us she would stand in front if a bear approached. She described her personal hair-raising encounters with Denali bears, all of which ended well.
One large and showy herb we found was bear-flower. Grizzlies dig it up to feast on its potatoes or carrots or whatever lusciousness it grows below ground. We saw much bear-flower, and many yard-wide diggings scattered wherever the plants were thick. We saw bear tracks, bear scat, and more bear-flower holes.
Our revised plan was to circle down into the river valley after our glance at Mt. McKinley. As we indeed circled, we increasingly noticed that buses of all colors were stopping on the bridge where we'd been left off. There was an expanding traffic jam of public transportation.
Busses stop in groups for one reason -- wildlife. Phalanxes of binoculars in bus windows pointed down the valley that we could not see but were heading for. "Perhaps there's a fox," our guide said cheerfully. It did not seem likely that foxes would cause such a jam. Our guide reminded us once more of Bear Aware rules. As we approached brush patches she called out "Hey, Bear" – again and again. She pointed out that grizzlies seldom confront large groups (we were seven).
Indeed, we reached the river without incident. We hiked upstream over the dull rocks, had lunch amid soaring peaks and floating golden eagles. We thought we'd finished our adventure with our retreat back downstream as we sat on the bridge for more than a half hour waiting for our green bus.
It was not a dull half hour. Soon after we sat down, a grizzly emerged from one of those thickets we had Hey-Bear-ed our way through. We watched as it dug up the bear-flower in the very patches we had appreciated. We could see where our hike had gone. The bear was following exactly in our tracks.
This bear was not close. It was more than two football fields away. At that distance, even a large bear is hard to see without binoculars. The route of the bear was essentially perpendicular to where we now sat. Our guide said, if it turns toward us, we need to back off. I found that hard to believe. Did we really have to retreat from an animal so far away that the naked eye could barely make it out? But the park has rules. Two football fields. Caribou cannot be approached closer than 25 yards. The varied distances seem to be based on the needs of wilderness. Our closeness cannot be allowed to impact the animals' behavior. Caribou, apparently, are not easy to impact.
In time the bear went over the mountain, and a bus arrived to pick us up. Our guide said, "It's a different experience to see a bear from outside a bus. Yes?"
The experience stayed with me. I began self-consciously hollering "Hey, Bear!" whenever I approached a thicket or turned a blind corner. Days later Linda and I hiked another alpine meadow far away, with no bear scat, tracks or diggings. It seemed less wild. I felt more relaxed. A different, more peaceful sense of closeness with nature returned.
On August 24 Richard White of San Diego was killed and partly eaten. Rangers responded to a report of a ravaged backpack and blood. They found a camera and the body; they shot the bear eating it. White's camera told the story -- the grizzly grazing peacefully about about 50 yards, then turning, and walking toward the camera. White photographed; he did not stand, speak with a loud but calm voice, and back off as required by the permit he had signed.
I have learned to love the midwest's wild woods and prairies, that have been without grizzlies for many decades. I campaign to enlarge and restore them, to return them to the wildest state possible. I support bringing back natural predators as much as possible. Or do I?
This drama challenges me. I appreciate wilderness without fear very much.

There is No Time Left for Business-as-Usual
The Climate Crisis Is Here
Millions of young people across the globe, many of whom were inspired by the actions and words of Swedish student Greta Thunberg, are taking to the streets to take a stand for climate justice. They include and are joining Indigenous peoples, as well as Black and Brown communities on the frontlines, who have been leading the climate movement and building a regenerative future in the midst of the climate emergency.
People around the world are experiencing superstorms, floods, droughts, and wildfires at unprecedented rates, with low-income communities and communities of color hit first and worst. Cruelly, communities and regions being devastated already by the effects of climate change tend to be the least responsible for its onset. It is not a coincidence that climate impacts strike along the lines of race and class so starkly; climate change is a product of the same processes which cement racism and wealth inequality in our country and our world.
The transition off of fossil fuels is inevitable; justice is not. To achieve Climate Justice, we must not only decarbonize the atmosphere, but also decolonize and democratize our economies and our communities. Shutting down the nation's capital could be our best shot at starting this justice-based transition; we need a broad-based coalition that emphasizes the overlap of our struggles. We look to the recent passage of the Climate & Communities Protection Act by New York Renews, a coalition led by Black, Brown, and labor organizations, for inspiration.
This is the mass uprising that everyone with climate anxiety has been waiting for. This is an uprising for life itself, fighting back against the forces of destruction. Now is the time to take action to save the people, plants, and animals we love. Let's rise up for climate justice!
Our Demands
At the spokes council meeting on September 4, #ShutDownDC affinity groups adopted the demands put together by the Strike With US youth-led coalition. Different affinity groups throughout the action each have their own demands, messages and issues, but all partners in the #ShutDownDC action are committed to lifting up these demands on September 23rd.
A Green New Deal
Transform our economy to 100% clean, renewable energy by 2030 and phase out all fossil fuel extraction through a just and equitable transition, creating millions of good jobs.A halt to all leasing and permitting for fossil fuel extraction, processing and infrastructure projects immediately
Respect of Indigenous Land and Sovereignty
Honor the treaties protecting Indigenous lands, waters, and sovereignty by the immediate halt of all construction, leasing, and permitting for resource extraction, processing and infrastructure projects affecting or on Indigenous lands
Recognize the Rights of Nature into law to protect our sacred ecosystems and align human law with natural law to ban resource extraction in defense of our environment and people
Environmental Justice
A transition that invests in prosperity for communities on the frontlines of poverty and pollution
Welcoming those displaced by the cumulative effects of the climate crisis, economic inequality, violence, and lack of opportunity
Protection and Restoration of Biodiversity
Protection and restoration of 50% of the world's lands and oceans including a halt to all deforestation by 2030
Implementation of Sustainable Agriculture
Investment in farmers and regenerative agriculture and an end to subsidies for industrial agriculture

Wood TV
GRAND RAPIDS TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Former MLB star Darryl Strawberry was in metro Grand Rapids Thursday to speak at the annual banquet for Guiding Light, which ministers to the homeless and those struggling with addiction in Grand Rapids.
As a player, Strawberry was one of the most feared hitters of his era. He was an eight-time All-Star and part of four World Championship teams — one with the New York Mets and three with the New York Yankees. He also had well-documented off-the-field issues with substance abuse.
Now, he's an ordained minister and travels the country trying to help recovering addicts.
He said that when he was a player, he never would have expected the path his life has taken.
"I think none of us really understand what our role is and what direction our lives are going to go," he told 24 Hour News 8 before the banquet. "Baseball is just a game, but life is real and purpose is real. This is the greatest that one can ever receive, is to come back and be restored and help others, because other lives are important."
He said that when he was struggling with alcohol and drug addiction, he knew he needed help but wasn't ready to get it until he met the woman who is now his wife, Tracy Strawberry.
It took five trips to rehab to finally conquer his demons. He said his story is an example that you should never give up on someone.
"That's what the message will be about tonight, is people's lives matter. We don't understand where people come from, we don't know the real issues inside them. We can just judge them from the outside, but we don't know the hurt and pain. And brokenness is real, and people are hurting because of something that's happened in their life," he said.
He said his addiction stemmed from the abuse he suffered as a child.
"And then when God restores you, then he gives you the ability to go back and get those people who are hurting so they can be restored, too," he said.

All brands
JLID s.r.l. Distribution is the official European distributor for Jimmy Lewis Hawaii, Infinity SUP, I Love Sup, QuickBlade Paddles, Jantex Paddles, Werner Paddles, Mormaii Brazil and RSPro. We've always been focused on TOP brand.
I Love Sup
I Love Sup is our brand new project. It's easy to understand why we have chosen this name for our brand. We profoundly love this sport and we mean to share our love and our passion with as many people as possible.
I Love Sup inflatable boards are made using the best materials available and are shaped in the best facilities in the world. Moreover, they have a fashionable Italian design. I Love Sup offers many different inflatable boards. They are suitable for every condition and for every kind of paddler. You can use these boards to sail a river, to surf, to train or just to have fun. They are suitable both for adults and infants.
Jimmy Lewis Boards
Jimmy Lewis is one of the world's most respected shapers and no other person has revolutionized every sport he has been involved in the way he has. Jimmy started building surfboards in 1968 and has been on the leading edge of board design ever since. He lives and breathes the aloha spirit and has helped dozens of other shapers with his technical expertise.
Infinity Sup & Surfboard
Dana Point is widely considered the SUP capital of the world and Infinity has been lucky enough to be in the mix since the beginning. Steve Boehne, founder of Infinity Surfboards was one of the very first shapers to offer SUP boards to the public in 2004. Infinity specializes in high end – high performance SUP designs for both Surf and Race. We do not make boards for fishing or boards for Yoga. That's not what we do. We are here to make the most progressive and fastest boards on the water. Our passion lies in the process of making riders get better and reach their potential and find that podium all while having the most fun. Every board is designed in California by Steve and Dave Boehne true craftsmen and board building experience since 1960. We love what we do and it shows through our product and friends.

QuickBlade Paddles
Making Paddles since 1989 Quickblade products are the natural evolution of paddle performance founded on years of competitive racing by Jim Terrell. Jim's paddling career began in southwest Ohio on the Little Miami River near his hometown of Milford. The signature feature of all Quickblade paddles is excellent performance. A quick catch at the beginning and a clean exit at the end of the stroke prompted the name Quickblade. Only after determining the ultimate requirements for performance, was the compromise of strength, durability, lightweight and cost addressed.
Jantex Paddles
Jantex professional paddles are made of the best composite materials at present and by strict abservance of technology. They are made of 100% carbon graphite fibres and high quality epoxy resin. With help of top paddlers and their high demands, the JANTEX paddles have obtained ideal design, high quality and reliability demanded so much. Used for flat water, surf ski & down river universally by preofessional top paddlers, as well as by touring paddlers & children
Mormaii Wetsuit
The story of Mormaii begins in Garopaba, one of the most beautiful beaches in the southern Brazilian coast, in the early 70's, founded by the then doctor and surfer Morongo. Catching waves in such icy waters was a great challenge. And the solution came in the form of the first neoprene suits, sewn in the backyard of his house. And so Mormaii was born, a brand with roots in surfing, but with a bigger goal: the search for life quality.
From this need in the practice of surfing, a genuine, originally Brazilian story began, which became more than a brand, a democratic way of life. Currently, Mormaii is considered the largest and most beloved brand of free sports in Brazil, promising to deliver life quality to its consumers through its products. It is not by chance that Mormaii wetsuits are synonymous of technology, comfort and high performance.

Merry Christmas Eve! Just wanted to wish you & yours a very Merry Christmas and show you a little of what I have around my house..
It's not Christmas without a tree! Already got some presents hiding under there. Wonder who the lucky recipients are?
I remember being a child and just laying on the floor under the tree watching the lights twinkle and flicker. Back then we had those little elf lights that I'll never forget.
See the little red truck? That's actually a sign made from a gift bag from Marshall's and a homemade wood frame. Maybe you can see it better here..
Turned out pretty good if you ask me. Not bad for a .99 cent project!
This is our elf, Mark. He has the sniffles so I'll leave him be. He's gotta get well for his flight back North.
Last but not least is my lovely little assistant and daughter. She is soooooo excited for Christmas to come!
What are some of your favorite Christmas memories?

Interview with Chris Sanders, president of Barrier Systems
Chris Sanders of Barrier Systems raises pertinent points with regard to the guard rail sector
Explain the difference between US and European barrier requirements and how these developed.
Products developed for the US are tested to NCHRP Report 350 or the latest MASH standard. While any new products must be qualified to MASH, the FHWA continues to allow the use of NCHRP 350 qualified systems, acknowledging that these systems have proven to perform acceptably. In Europe, barrier systems must be qualified to EN1317, which continues to evolve. The vehicle fleets determine the primary testing differences between European and US standards. The US fleet has historically had more Pickups and SUV's than European fleets, but this has fluctuated over the years in the US as we experience rising and falling fuel prices. One example we have seen recently are certain countries in the Middle East grappling with what standard to use. If their fleet has a high percentage of SUV's, Pick Ups and large cars they should seriously consider the 350 standard, but either standard will substantially improve safety over untested safety barriers.
A significant difference between European test standards and US standards are the measurement of deflection. While both measure the deflection only EN1317 actually sets standards and measures them using the working width criteria. This is important for permanent median barriers and work zone barriers where high deflection can create large intrusions into work zones potentially hurting workers. Cable barriers as an example have a very important place in the market but should not be used in narrow medians.
Another difference in implementation is that while US standards do have TL4 and TL5 high containment standards they are rarely seen in the US, while H2 and H3 systems are often seen in certain parts of Europe particularly with Median guardrail barriers.
At the end of the day, the Test Standards do a good job of differentiating various products, and it is up to the authorities to understand those differences and apply the different systems to the roadway. Unfortunately, industry has much more work to do to educate design engineers in both developed and developing regions.
What developments in the sector can help boost safety for vulnerable road users?
The primary point is that many solutions are available today. That was not as true 20 to 30 years ago. Now properly tested barriers to both standards are available and can be used in work zones and permanent applications.
In the last 10 years a number of high containment, very low deflection steel barriers have become available in the marketplace. These require anchoring in most cases but are very light weight and highly portable. This allows older bridge structures that do have weight issues from time to time to be safely rehabilitated. In addition where transport expenses are high, the light weight barriers can be loaded more effectively on trucks and reduce delivery costs.
Another feature of these barriers is the addition of wheels making them easily portable in work zones. Once they have wheels (retracted when in use) their flexibility increases significantly. These steel barriers can be used as gates and as longitudinal barriers to create short positively protected work zones. In the past these types of short duration project workzones could not be protected by long and heavy concrete barriers, but instead by the good old orange cone which has never safely redirected a vehicle on impact.
Some like our Quickchange Reactive Tension Barrier are actually high containment moveable barriers that can reconfigure roadways and workzones. These systems combine all the safety features of other tested barriers while reconfiguring the roadway or workzone at up to 10mph.
In summary, there are barriers for all applications but governments and road authorities have to pay the price for this safety. It is not reasonable for a contractor to absorb the additional cost of a positive barrier. The authorities must specify it and provide a payment mechanism, or the contractors will go with cones which are the lowest cost and more dangerous solution.
Positive barrier protection clearly separates both the motorist and the highway worker so that both remain as safe as possible.
How can developing nations be encouraged to employ either European or US safety standards for barriers and other safety systems when building new highways?
If you visit many developing countries you will see all kinds of concrete barriers and in many cases plastic devices. It's interesting to see how many of these devices are not even pinned together, so they are creating a series of small hazards along the highway. Tested barriers whether concrete, steel or plastic have engineered hinges and connection systems that ensure they redirect and contain the vehicle. Enforcing a testing standard will ensure that the authorities are getting what they are paying for and are improving safety. I would encourage authorities to set testing criteria and ensure that systems are then installed the way the manufacturer intended. The best device installed incorrectly will have no effect or potentially be worse. The US and Europe both have well developed and proven criteria that can easily be adopted.
What have been the most important developments in safety barriers in the last five years?
I think some of the moveable barriers are the most important development in the past five years, whether it is our Quickchange Moveable Barrier or other portable steel barriers with wheels. These new barriers are tested to high standards and provide tremendous flexibility to the Contractor and Authority. They also have long lifecycles and are inexpensive to transport.
What impact has the global economic crisis had on investment by companies in creating new safety barrier technology?
Certainly companies are concerned about the global economic crisis and take that into account in their planning. That said, the last couple of years do not seem to have slowed down development. In the US there was a rush to bring new products to market under the NCHRP Report 350 approval guidelines. That development may fall off a little now, but that is a function of the criteria changing not the economy. The new MASH criteria implemented in the US significantly raises the cost of new product development and will consequently result in an increase in costs for products performing the same function as before with proven results. This comes at a time when transportation authorities have less money to spend and a growing need to maintain or develop their infrastructure. We continue to monitor the markets and adjust our development activities accordingly.
The other thing to remember is that many economies chose to stimulate their economies with infrastructure spending the last few years, so we have seen limited effect to date. For me it is possible the spending cuts are about to hit us harder, as the US stimulus funds are finished and the States still have severe funding issues. Europe also has its own set of similar problems and we are not out of the woods yet.
How important is investment in transport infrastructure, such as safety barriers, during tough economic times?
It's very important. It creates a lot of jobs. We also see the effect on roads around the world of not keeping up with maintenance. If you do not keep up, the cost to catch up is greater than doing the work properly when it was needed.
The other piece we see in our business is the need for governments to spend wisely. There are many new types of barrier and they can be very cost effective. Steel barriers typically last longer than concrete. Our Quickchange moveable barrier systems allow you to add a lane of capacity at a fraction the cost of widening a bridge one lane. These new products are different than some of the old tried and true construction methods and we need innovation in our government procurement to get the value out of what is available.
What kind of investment potential is there for Barrier Systems in Russia given the country's significant current spend on highways projects?
We are pursuing a number of QuickChange Moveable Barrier projects in the Moscow and St Petersburg areas aimed at reducing congestion and increasing safety with low economic or infrastructure impact. We are also seeing the increased use of crash cushions as safety standards are increased. These are 1317 approved systems sold through Snoline, our sister company based in Milan, Italy.
Explain how the cross-fertilisation of technology between Barrier Systems in the US and its sister company Snoline in Europe benefits the group as a whole.
We have been able to take platforms from both regions and adapt them to the respective local market. This certainly helps save development costs. Many of our US based products have come from Europe and other parts of the world, and collaboration is critically important to many of us in this industry.

Education in Athens, GA
The County Commission has the power to fight for fair access to lifelong education opportunities for every single person in Athens, regardless of economic status or past history with drug-related crime. In a city where upward mobility is scarce, continuing or finishing your education as an adult should not be a privilege. All Athenians should be afforded the opportunity to finish educational programs that could improve their employment opportunities and earning potential.
We cannot have a conversation about education without talking about the need for job training programs. There are hundreds of skilled jobs in Athens, such as welding, that remain unfilled because of a lack of trained workers. Supporting local education, from K-12 to adulthood, includes protecting youth development programs & educational programs that will give our community members a larger pool of jobs to choose from.
Access to quality and affordable childcare is also an essential component to a functioning society. Without it, families are denied the ability to protect the well-being of their most vulnerable. With it, families have greater access to quality of life for their children and the resources necessary for improved social mobility.
We must examine this issue, review successful case studies, complete a needs assessment for Athens-Clarke County, and then help design comprehensive reform on local childcare. As part of that needs assessment, we should take care to listen carefully to the voices and concerns of local parents who have historically been ignored and kept out of this process. We absolutely should expand access to childcare subsidies, encourage more childcare providers to become quality rated, and incentivize quality rated providers to accept children receiving subsidies. Yes, it may be costly and difficult, but our government is more than capable of confronting these challenges, especially when the lives of all of our children hang in the balance.

Since last november 2013 until end of May 2o14, Carolina Gimeno has been working as the Artist in Residence , AiR, at KKV, Konstnärernas Kollektivverstad. During her residency she was working on her Master Degree project; "Portable Pleasures", When Intimacy becomes Public" , which highlight the relevance that decoration on the body has, as a way to construct identity and communication. Rooted on to explore the relationship between gender, feminine culture, and decoration within the Western world. And thinking of jewellery as a socialisation method and not as a consequence of natural differences between sexes.
"During this research project, I have develop a brief historical review of the role that jewellery has been playing, in the relations between the genders and the changes it has undergone in terms of cultural process over the last centuries. I have used different techniques like vitreous enamelling and electroforming as a combination of an experimental artistic research, which will be explained during the upcoming AIR's presentation."
The presentation will be at the Enamel Workshop of KKV, Konstnärernas Kollektivverstad i Nacka
Next Thursday 5th of June, at 17.30h.

You know what's cuter than a fluffy giant panda? Three super teeny tiny giant pandas. Oh and the fact that they're triplets totally ups the cuteness factor by 76553.8 per cent.
These three rat-like little ones were born in Chimelong Safari Park, a zoo in southern China late last month. However, we're just getting footage of them now. The cubs are the world's first surviving panda triplets. Crazy, right?
Want even more footage of the miracle cubs? Take a look below! Story continues below video.
The babies' momma Juxiao, which means "chrysanthemum smile" according to The Guardian, delivered her naturally conceived litter on July 29.
There are only 1,600 wild giant pandas living in the world right now — so it's only fair that we cheer on these beautiful, aw-dorable creatures, right?
In other good panda news, Scotland's very own giant panda Tian Tian also appears to be pregnant. According to The Guardian, she'll probably give birth by the end of this month. Yay! The more heart-warming baby panda videos, the better. Bring 'em on.

Artistic creation helps you to really know yourself and take on that brilliant person you are. By expanding creativity, you learn something new that gives experience and improves your life.
Your creativity develops most when you are in a positive emotional state. When you feel good, your thinking is soaring. You give bigger space to new ideas, new opportunity to develop different solutions, to try new things, to act differently.
On our creativity-driven activities, we focus on 'Discover your creativity' in a one-day program. We spend our time in rest and let our creativity manifest in the most obvious form for us. This can be anything: taking a photo, writing a fairy tale, making videos, creating a natural collage or even working out ideas. Just free up yourself. Discover what your creative expression is.
This process makes you more creative and gives you a liberating feeling as you give room for your ability.

- Sturdy Platinum Premium ShedsFull Insulation & Lining Option
Mr F Croydon Surrey CR0. Diamond 8×6 Georgian Pent Wooden Shed – ★★★★★ Star Review
Feedback: helpful and friendly service. The shed itself was average quality but the supplied lock was inferior and the knob fell off on the second day due too the fact that there was little to no thread on the spindle.
Response: Thanks for your valuable feedback. I'm pleased we were friendly and gave you helpful advice. I'm not so happy you had a problem with the door knob. This has now been rectified with an improved fitting so should not be a problem moving forward. Thanks for letting me know. I hope you will enjoy using your new shed in years to come. Regards Robin

With the energy companies making cuts in our energy bills by about 5%, not long after they have gone up 15-20%, and with them making a big deal of how wonderful they are maybe it's time we took steps to produce our own energy or at the very least subsidise our energy needs.
There are many way where green energy can be generated and the more common ones are solar panels which can be fitted on the house roof or even on a garden shed roof if it faces south. However, if you were going to put it on a shed you would need to ensure that the shed roof is strong enough to take the weight. Until recently there were large rebates for generating green electricity but these schemes have been curtailed so the large benefits which were available have now gone which is a shame.
If you still wish to put solar panels on the garden shed roof then there are two types to consider which are crystalline and amorphous. Amorphous solar panels are receptive to low light and will perform better than crystalline during the winter. These types of solar panel can be light but we only generate a small amount of electric although this may be enough for use in the garden shed. Another option for the garden are LED lights which can be solar panel generated.
Up in Scotland a village primary school has equipped a metal bike shed with solar panels to generate electric and the project will supply electric to the school. The village school in Gleneig, Wester Ross will enjoy this green renewable energy from this solar panel shed scheme and which has cost £20,000. This metal shed is quite substantial to take the solar panels and half of the cost was paid for by the Scottish government. This scheme is just one of 32 solar power schemes being delivered across Scotland at a cost of £450,000 in total.
The chairman of Highland Council's climate change working group, Michael Foxley, said that he was sure that the new solar powered shed will prove to be a big success with the young cyclists and should pay a big part in reducing the amount of electricity being consumed. Another method of making sheds more environmentally friendly is to give them a 'living roof' as this will make them warmer inside during the winter and cooler during the winter. However, it's important to realise that not all garden sheds are strong enough to take the weight and may need extra shed roof supports.
