Riding a motorcycle is a fun and rewarding past time but even the most experienced rider knows that there are risks to riding. Mixed with vehicle traffic and obstacles on the road, the threat of crashing is always on the riders mind. That's why it is so important to wear the proper protective gear. You are more likely to survive and possibly even walk away from an unfortunate incident. Always dress for the crash rather than dressing for the ride. Here are 10 areas of your body that should be protected when you ride a motorcycle.
The best way to protect your head is to wear a helmet. When you crash you can't control whether or not your head impacts the ground and you are 47 percent less likely to be killed and 67 percent less likely to receive head injuries if you are wearing a DOT approved helmet. Many time injuries to the head and brain can cause life-long debilitating, injury's that could can be prevented with a helmet. Today's helmets are light weight and comfortable and come in a variety of styles and designs to fit the type of riding you do. Many states have mandatory helmet laws, but whether it is the law or not, the helmet is the most important piece of riding gear you should wear. One note, if your helmet is ever involved in a crash it must be replaced. Many insurance companies will include this cost in your claim.
Many riders choose to wear a helmet that is not full-face, meaning it only covers the top and sides of the head. While these helmets satisfy legal requirements, they lack in providing protection to vital areas of the face. Remember, when you crash you can't control what your head is going to do and the majority of impacts occur on the chin and the side of the jaw. If you are not wearing a full-face helmet, your face, jaw and teeth are vulnerable. In addition, a full-face helmet will protect your face during the ride from wind, cold, sunburn, and insects, which can give you quite a jolt when they impact your face at 60 miles per hour. It will provide you will a safer, more comfortable ride.
Your shoulders are a potential impact point when you crash and even a minor crash could result in a dislocated shoulder or broken clavicle. It's important to make sure your riding jacket or body armor includes impact protection in the shoulder areas.
When riding the road your leather or mesh jacket should provide adequate protection as long as you never impact your handle bars. Severe chest injuries can occur if you impact the motorcycle's dash. So, to be as safe as possible wear a chest protector. This piece of equipment is essential if you are dirt bike riding or trail riding. Although there are many styles to choose from they often come in vest style and may include shoulder protection as well as spine protection.
Which brings us to the next vulnerable body part, the back. Your back can suffer severe road rash and possible spinal injury, such as hyperextension, if it is not properly protected. Investing in a spine protector is the best way to prevent back injury. Their layered design allows flexibility when bending forward in a comfortable riding position, but prevents the back from bending too far back. Some jackets will come with hard neoprene padding in the back which may be adequate protection in a minor fall, but they can easily slip out of place and are completely worn after one fall. Invest in a back protector made from sturdy, hard material that will not wear out after only one slide on the pavement. This type of gear can be purchased alone or as a complete set of body armor which includes a chest protector.
Next we come to the hips and buttocks. At times these areas of the body are vulnerable to impact, but for the most part, your hips and butt are going to get the most slide time on the pavement if you crash. Mesh or cloth riding pants are helpful, but your best protection will come from leather. Pants made from a sturdy riding leather with extra padding in the hips will allow you to slide across asphalt without suffering from road rash, and the impact will leave only a scratch, allowing you to continue to use the pants without compromising their integrity. There is a reason why professional motorcycle racers wear leathers, because it is simply the best protection against road rash. By the way, leather chaps, although very popular in the cruiser crowd, do nothing to protect your hips or butt.
When you fall, it is a basic human instinct to reach out and catch yourself. That's why you need to protect your arms and elbows. Motorcycle riding jackets will come with padding or sturdy material build into the arms to protect your elbows and your forearm from impact and slide trauma. You can also purchase separate elbow armor that straps to your arm. It is important, if you're wearing a jacket, that the elbow padding fits tight against your arms and will not slide up your arm during a crash. Some mesh jackets that provide layers for warmth, will come equipped with adjustable straps on the arm to insure your elbow pads are in the proper position.
Hands are particularly vulnerable in a crash and riders run the risk of experiencing nerve damage or loss of fingers in a crash when not wearing proper gloves. A good motorcycle glove will be made of leather, be long enough to cover your wrist joint and include knuckle protection. Some glove will come with carbon fiber protection over the knuckles and over the outside of the hand near the little finger and on the heel of the hand. These are the parts of the hand that are most likely to impact the ground during a fall. Motocross gloves have less knuckle protection because of the fact that there is no asphalt and dirt won't cause so much damage. But no matter what style of riding you do, never go without full fingered gloves.
Your knees are another huge impact area and are extremely vulnerable in a crash. Riding in shorts leave your legs open to any punishment the road can dish out and denim jeans, while providing some protection, will only go so far in a slide and will offer no impact protection. When selecting riding pants whether leather or mesh, make sure they have hard knee padding and make sure the pants fit properly. Knee pads will do not good if they slide out of place during a crash. Your pants should be snug, but comfortable. Individual knee pads are also a good investment as they also offer chin protection, are jointed to make them flexible and adjustable to ensure a proper fit. Knee protectors are a good choice when you don't have riding pants and you can wear them under your jeans.
Flip flops, sandals, high heals, and canvas tennis shoes do nothing to protect your feet and ankles. If you are going to wear tennis shoes, leather will offer more protection but it is highly probable that your shoes will come off in a crash leaving your feet exposed. A low top tennis shoe also does nothing to protect your ankles, which are extremely vulnerable to road rash. High top leather shoes offer good protection but you can be better protected with a good pair of motorcycle boots. Boots come in a huge variety of styles from those that look like a tennis shoe, but come with extra protection around the ankles, to boots that prevent rotation of the foot reducing broken ankles. Good motorcycle boots are comfortable and many times fashionable and are well worth the investment.
While wearing proper riding gear is not a requirement, with the exception of the helmet in some states riding gear comes in cool styles, is comfortable, and it's smart. There's a saying that goes around in some riding groups; ATGATT or All The Gear All The Time. Aside from avoiding a crash all together, wearing the proper riding gear is the safest move you can make.

Meet my friend Jer. In Italy I met some incredible people and he is one of them hands down. I've been struggling since I've been home in terms of readjusting and realizing that I won't be around the same people anymore and that my life is going to be different. I haven't really come to terms with the fact that my life is in fact, going to be different than it was before I left for my trip.
Who I am now is much different than the Jess before Italy, I don't really know what to make of it to be honest, but I'm lucky to have such great friends that I've made. This morning I had a rough time, I woke up in tears because I miss my friends and I miss the lifestyle of Italy and being in the most beautiful country in the world. I was so used to having my own apartment and going to the grocery store on my own and cooking, actually being a grown up appealed to me, but Jer helped me realize that I am lucky to be home, and that this is a new chapter in my life and that I need to take every chance I can to better my life experiences and myself. I can't fathom the idea of not having these incredible people in my life. Thank you Italy for showing me how incredible life can be.
My goals now are to get back on track with exercise and a healthy diet regimen along with picking up photography, I may not be great but I've learned some from Jer and I find that I really enjoy expressing myself through pictures. I also re-registered for the fall semester and am taking Painting I, Intro to Digital Photography, Intro to Philosophy, and Practical Logic, I am so excited to see what I learn and where my artistic abilities can go with these different classes. This whole soul searching thing has really benefited me and I'm happy that I am now really finding myself and going with the flow rather than stressing about the next day and the day after that, seize the day my friends.

What if there was a way you could save both time and money so you could earn your degree faster and for less? Well, there is a way: testing out of classes. When you test out of college classes, you don't have to take them as part of your degree program and you won't have to pay for the class.
So, how do you make this work for you? Each college has different requirements and processes, so it's important that you talk to an adviser to find out what the best plan for you is. There are three basic ways to test out of college courses.
- Ask Your Adviser for College-Specific Options
First, talk to your admissions adviser to find out what options the school offers. At some colleges, you can take a test created by the school to test out of specific classes. Since these tests are specific to each school, the best way to find out about your options is to contact the school you want to attend.
- Get High Scores on the ACT or SAT Test
Some colleges waive some classes if a student receives a high enough score on a specific portion of the ACT or SAT test. If you have taken this test, check with your college to see if it allows this. This is one of the easiest ways to test out of classes, since this test is already required before you can enroll in many schools.
- Take the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) Test
The CLEP is one of the most widely used programs by colleges that offer students credits for test scores. Almost 3,000 schools use this program, so check with the college you want to enroll in to see if it participates. There are 33 CLEP tests, so be sure to check with your adviser to find out which one you should take.
When you take the test, you will be eligible to receive credits from your school based on the score you receive. There is an $80 fee to take the test, but that is much cheaper than the tuition you would have to pay to take a class.
Graduate Faster
One of the biggest benefits of testing out of college classes is that you'll graduate much faster. When you take a class, you'll spend weeks or even months attending lectures, doing assignments, writing papers and taking tests. While this is the best way to learn information and skills, it can take up valuable time if you already know the subject well.
It takes much less time to test out of a college class. In some cases you will have access to study guides to help you prepare for the test. Then, you'll spend a few hours taking the test and you will likely receive your score in a matter of days or a few weeks.
When you have received your scores, you can make an appointment with your adviser to have the classes waived and possibly even receive credits. Earning your degree faster means you'll be ready to start your new career sooner.
Save Money
College can be expensive, but testing out of classes is one of the easiest ways to save money on tuition costs. You will have to pay a fee to take some tests, but that fee is much less than the cost of taking a class.
Every college has different tuition rates and some charge tuition based on the number of credits you enroll in. When you test out of classes you could save hundreds or even thousands of dollars. This can make earning your degree much more affordable.
Testing out of college classes is a great way to earn your degree faster and even save money on tuition expenses. To jumpstart your college career, contact an adviser to find out what the school's testing out policy is.

149 THE CLASS STRUGGLE While there are areas in which by reason of climate and location people have hitherto sufiered little in any conscious way from these forms of waste, unconsciously they, like all the world have paid in the price of the goods they consume, accepting the rising cost of living as an incident of the war and inquiring no farther.
The whole people are, in tact, deeply interested whether they are awake to its immediate importance or not, in prompt action by the Government in this field.
In the absence of needed technical data there are certain obvious facts, which are not at present receiving the popular consideration necessary if any steps are to be taken towards minimizing in future years the dire experience of this winter.
Some of these obvious facts follow: The present method of getting power by transporting coal, wastes life and limb of employees who move the trains.
While we have no adequate figures as to the losses, that they are serious is a matter of common knowledge. Accidents are notoriously numerous in breaking up and making up coal trains, and in the whole shifting process incidental thereto.
Loss of life and industrial injuries to employees in this service are not made public as collisions and all spectacular injuries to passengers in transit tend to become public through the daily press. But records of workmen compensation commissions are enlightening to students.
Similar injuries to travelers are caused especially where single track roads are used by passenger, freight and coal trains. It is only on exceptional roads, such as the four track stretches from New York City to Bufialo and Philadelphia to Pittsburg, that this danger of collisions, because of the presence of slow and clumsy coal trains is wholly eliminated. find on the limited number of coal roads in the North Atlantic States. chiefly Pennsylvania) which are, as their name implies, not in the general transportation business.
Our present method wastes time because quick trains are delayed by coal train wrecks. Every commercial traveler knows that this is a commonplace experience of American railway travel. At all times coal trains are proverbially the slowest. They reduce the number and the running time of other kinds of trains. Perishable freight, such as refrigerated meat, fruit and vegetables, is delayed and spoiled in transit by coal cars blocking the rails. This aspect of the waste of time has amounted to a national calamity during the past six months.
To symbolize the waste of beauty, and of the joy of living, incident to our present use of coal for power, it is only neces sary to mention Pittsburg, Chicago and, in less vivid illustration, Cleveland in this country. Most convincing of all is the vision of London, England. On the other hand, abundant supplies of electric power would enable us to keep cities cooler in summer; to do away, for instance, with the numberless fires now used in July and August for generating power for elevators in the torrid days common in the cities of thé Atlantic seabord.
Waste of man power is vastly larger than appears at first glance, and second to it in importance, the waste of vehicles.
It is only necessary to enumerate locomotive engineers and men who move coal trains; captains and crews of coal schooners; captains, engineers, stokers of tugs and barges in coastwise and lake transportation; chaulfeurs of coal trucks, drivers of horse drawn coal carts. To these must be added all the men who load and unload at the mine mouth, at the ship, at the coal yard, and finally at the place of delivery, besides ens gineers and furnacernen in the innumerable scattered plants where power is finally generated at the point of use.
Further wastes involved in carrying power coal to its place of use by cars instead of wire include tracks, cars, engines, boats, barges, tugs, trucks and carts. The last named two vehicles are a great nuisance in winter in snow filled city streets in the Northern cities where chronic congestion of traf

Pinning Knights and Horses
A major challenge every Bretonnian player faces is the careful storage of his or her hard-worked on Knights. Some of us use foam trays specially made for our miniatures, some of us used modified toolboxes, some use just boxes of an appropiate size for an Army. However, our lances, banners, swords and scabbards, tassels, and even the crests of a helmet can bend and break, ruining hours of hard work. The best way to prevent such disasters, is of course, careful storage, and the best way to store and transport our knights? By keeping rider and mount stored separately, of course!
The following article will give you steps, knowhow, and the why-it-can-be-a-good-thing.
I apologize beforehand if the pictures are fuzzy, I do not have a dedicating miniature camera.
The following is a list of the tools and materials you'll need for this tutorial.
For reference, I have taken an image of an older model of mine and pointed out some of the issues with just gluing the knight to the horse.
One of the biggest issues is priming the miniature. It takes careful handling to fully prime a glued knight, leading to missed spots under the horse and legs, and under portions of armor.
1- Here you can see where poor storage has started to damage the lance, bending the plastic.
2- As can be seen, on both sides the legs rest in front of the front shields on the barding. Unless painted seperately or very, very carefully, painting either armor or heraldry will cause issues. The placing of the lance on the right side is also an issue, as it blocks part of the barding and straps.
3- Another problem is wear on the paint job. Even though this model doesn't have a shield, it would be having the same issues with wear and paint damage, even possibly end up breaking off depending on the attachment strength.
4- The scabbard, more extraneous plastic, has started to bend.
The best way to prepare the knights is to start with unassembled models. Knights that already assembled can still be pinned, but you have to be careful because of how the mini is probably glued together, as the drilling can push apart the legs.

We're so excited that Jay Lyon from Sydney-based band Tamarama is the male music ambassador for our Soundtrack to Summer story this season. We caught up with Jay to get the lowdown on his favourite summer sunnies, specs and songs.
Hi Jay! Thanks for taking the time to catch up with us. Hey Clearly! No worries, any time.
When did you begin playing music? I began playing music at the age of 17.
Tell us a bit about playing in Tamarama. I went to Japan when I was 20 for a modelling contract. I was there for eight weeks and had just broken up with my girlfriend at the time. I was shattered and writing a lot. Fate would have it that my good mate and now-band partner Nicolas "Pottsy" Potts showed up a week after me and was there for the same amount of time. He was already a very accomplished musician and we just clicked musically and loved the same kinds of music. We wrote our first song, Everything to Me, which ended up being our first single. And it really all started from there.
Touring, recording and playing in front of thousands of people are some of the best memories of my life and it made all the rough times worth it. I love music and being able to express myself through songs. It's a gift I'm very grateful for and I will always continue to write and release music.
I think eyewear is all about picking the right shape for your face. Be original and mix it up.
If you had to pick a favourite pair of specs and sunnies from our summer shoot, which would they be and why? I would have to say the Derek Cardigan 7010 sunnies in Grey Haze are great. Cool styles and colours can be dressed up or casual. They are also very comfortable which is a must when wearing sunnies.
What would be your greatest piece of advice for picking out the right eyewear this summer? I think eyewear is all about picking the right shape for your face. Be original and mix it up.
What style of sunnies will you be rocking this summer? I'm loving my Derek Cardigan glasses and also my round Giorgio Armanis.
Are you going to any festivals? If not, where do you wish you were going? I'm sure I will go to some over the summer but nothing planned yet. I wish I went to Coachella and Burning Man this year!!
What song best sums up summertime to you? Talking Heads – This Must Be The Place
A song with the word 'eye' in it: Eye Know – De La Soul
Finally, is there anything to watch out for with Tamarama this summer? Yep, we will definitely be playing shows this summer in Sydney so keep an eye out for us!!!

Most people think that London is a very expensive city. But it is possible to enjoy London on a limited budget and there are many wonderful things you can do for free or a small price.
It costs nothing to visit Trafalgar Square and Nelson's Column and to look at Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament or watch the Changing of the Guard. And many buildings such as Southwark Cathedral and the Bank of England are free to enter.
London has over 300 museums, galleries and collections, and most of these are free. Try the British Museum, Tate Modern, the Science Museum or the National Gallery.
There are very few cities in the world that have as many parks as London. When you walk through Regent's Park, Green Park or St James's Park you will feel you have left the city behind. In summer there are also often free concerts in the parks.
There is something happening almost every week in London. You don't have to pay to watch the Notting Hill Carnival, the Oxford & Cambridge University Boat Race, the Chinese New Year Parade or many other exciting events.

The problem states: "To explore this question, suppose that you prepare a solution of a supposedly active substance, X, with a molarity of 0.10 mol.L-1. Then you dilute 10. mL of that solution by doubling the volume, doubling it again and so on, for 90 doublings in all. How many molecules of X will be present in 10. mL of the final solution?
I was hoping someone could clarify how I could approach this question. I became confused after the question asked for 90 doublings in all. Thank you in advance.

Re: Problem G.25 in Fundamentals
One of the most important thing to remember when it comes to dilution is that the moles of the solute do not change before and after dilution. So in this particular problem, you just need to find out how many moles of substance X is in 10ml of the solution. Let me know if you have any questions.

Re: Problem G.25 in Fundamentals
I was confused on this question as well. I understand that doubling it 90 times dramatically reduces the amount of solute per L of solution so that it almost becomes obsolete but I don't understand the solution manual's method of solving the problem. Could someone please help explain why they are trying to find out how many times the amount of molecules must be cut in half to equal one?

Re: Problem G.25 in Fundamentals
I believe the reason why the solution manual is trying to prove the amount of doublings that would need to occur before there is only 1 atom of substance X is that after 70 doublings, the solution would essentially have 0 atoms of the substance, thus showing any more doublings past 70 doublings would not have any more active substance in the solution. So in other words, 70 marks the point at which the solution becomes useless, having lost all of its active substances.

This article is brought to you in association with the United Nations.
Childhood is a time for growth, a time for school. But conflict or disaster are depriving 104 million young people between the ages of five and 17 of that foundation, according to a new study by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF).
The report, A future stolen: young and out-of-school, looks at the education situation of children and young people from pre-primary to upper secondary age across all countries, including those affected by humanitarian emergencies.
"When a country is hit by conflict or disaster, its children and young people are victimized twice," said Henrietta Fore, UNICEF Executive Director.
"In the near term, their schools are damaged, destroyed, occupied by military forces or even deliberately attacked, and they join the millions of young people out of school, and as the years progress they seldom return. In the long term they – and the countries they live in – will continue to face perpetuating cycles of poverty," she elaborated.
The report details that one-in-five youth, aged 15 to 17, who live in countries affected by conflict or disaster have never been in a formal classrom, while two-in-five never completed primary school.
Nearly 303 million youth between ages five and 17, around one-in-five globally, are out of school. One-third of them live in conflict or disaster-affected countries, according to the report launched ahead of the 73rd session of the UN General Assembly.
Moreover, greater than half of out-of-school primary-school-age children live in emergency-affected countries.
It also points out that poverty remains the most significant barrier to education globally, leaving the poorest primary-school-age children four times more likely to be out of school compared to their peers from the richest households.
UNICEF said that with less than four per cent of its global humanitarian appeals dedicated to education, the report calls for more investment in quality education from pre-primary to upper-secondary, in a safe environment within countries affected by complex humanitarian emergencies and protracted crises.
By current trends, there will be more than 1.3 billion youth aged 10 to 19 by 2030 – an eight per cent increase.
"This is a critical moment in history," Ms. Fore said. Providing the future workforce with quality education and better employment prospects will yield greater economic and social dividends, according to the report.
"If we act wisely and urgently, we can empower and skill young people to be prepared to create peaceful and prosperous societies," the UNICEF chief spelled out.
"The alternative is too bleak. We cannot afford to fail," she concluded.

It wasn't exactly swimsuit weather when model Amilna Estevao agreed to try on just about every one and two piece under the sun on a particularly chilly day in May, but her energy and exuberant smile made summer feel that much closer.
It comes as no surprise that the 18-year-old Angolan model, who spent much time at the beach growing up, is comfortable in a swimsuit. But she's also embraced a more tomboyish aesthetic now that she has short hair, and keeps it simple when it comes to summer beauty and style. However, she names the always-confident Naomi Campbell as her ultimate inspiration.
Estevao was first discovered at the age of 14 when she entered the Elite Model Look contest in Luanda, Angola. She ended up winning, and was given a modeling contract on the spot. Today, she's signed to Elite as well as The Society Management in New York, where she's based. This season, she walked in major shows in every city, from Maison Margiela to Monse. Here, she talks about summer style, her fashions icons, and more.
Do you go to the beach a lot back home in Angola? Which ones are your favorite?
I do like to go to the beach sometimes, even if just to relax and breathe some fresh, natural air. I love to go to Baia de Luanda or Ilha.
Do you prefer a one-piece bathing suit or a bikini? A hat or sunglasses? Jean shorts or a dress?
I prefer bikinis, sunglasses, and jean shorts.
What's your favorite bathing suit right now and why?
My favorite bathing suit is one from Hermès that I just got as a gift. I love the color, which is a wonderful black and orange. It goes with my skin tone!
How would you describe your personal style?
I like to be comfortable and cool, and dress a little bit boyish because of my haircut. I usually just throw some jeans on top of some sneakers or boots.
Who are your beauty and style icons?
I really idolize Naomi Campbell. I think she's an inspiration for a lot of people, and I think she has a strong and amazing personality. I also really love Candice Swanepoel, as well. She's amazing and has a beautiful and strong face...and I love her figure!
What was your most recent purchase for your summer wardrobe?
I love to carry bags of all different colors. You can wear very simple pieces, but carry a cute bag to give off some chic vibes.
What do you wear for a night out in the summer?
For a night out in the summer, I like to dress more sexy and simple, with some high heels sandals and a mini dress. For me, this look is perfect. I also love to wear sunglasses, even during night time just to give more swag, hah!
What are you currently lusting after?
The beach!
What beauty products do you use every single day in the summer?
I use this 24-hour rehydrating fill-in care from La Roche-posay. It's so good for people who have really dry skin. I also use a skin gel from Sephora to give you a perfect skin texture and glow. My favorite mascaras for summer are from YSL or Marc Jacobs—they make my lashes long and beautiful.
Summer exercise regime?
I like to go run sometimes or do ab exercises at home. I prefer to do everything myself, rather than go to the gym.
What is always in your suitcase when you travel?
I need to have a pair of blue or black jeans, heels, and a cute dress just in case.
Do you have any hidden talents?
I like to dance a lot. I would love to teach you guys how to dance "kuduro" from Angola because it's amazing. But eventually, I would like to learn how to dance to all different types of music, and I think I could maybe act because I'm little bit dramatic sometimes.
If you weren't modeling, what would you be doing?
If I weren't a model, I think I would be doing some type of design. I used to think about that before and started practicing, but then I became a model, and now I think I'm in the right place.
What is your dream job?
To work with Versace, Chanel, and Gucci.
Summer vacation plans:
I would love to visit Monte Carlo in the South of France. It's just beautiful, even from afar, and I've heard great things about it. I would love to go to the Bahamas as well. I'm an Aquarius, so I love the ocean water and relaxing in it!
Dream destination:
Anywhere with beautifully blue ocean water!

And In Between Are The Door Knobs
- by Max
It's been a busy month for knobs and locks at The Fixician - I'm on my sixth doorknob replacement, fixed a holey door, and even fitted locks to a wine cabinet to stop flatmates stealing the booze!
When I first started my handyman gig, I didn't realise just how many locks and doorknobs I'd be replacing; but it makes sense – these babies cop a lot of use.
By some estimates, people walk through 100 doors a day. If there's a doorknob attached, that's 200 turns, per day, per person! How sore would your wrist be if you had to shake hands with 100 hundred people every day – twice!
I asked John Paget and David Clohesy, of Lock Supplies Morphett Vale, how door owners can take better care of their hardware.
Here are their top 5 tips:
1. Buy Quality. This is the main reason locks and door latches fail – cheap products used for the wrong application. David says "When people put a $10 lock in a commercial application, that's not going to last. A $10 lock won't even last in a domestic application, let alone commercial". So tip number one - if you're buying locks and door knobs - do some homework and buy the best you can afford.
2. Avoid Graphite. What? I thought graphite was the good stuff? Uh uh. In the old days, there was space enough in locks for excess graphite to fall to the bottom. Now, with locks and keyways made to exacting tolerances, excess graphite will collect and gum up the works. A better option is to use Aussie product INOX MX3, a non-toxic, non-residual lubricant. I use it on locks, door latches, hinges and aluminium sliding doors and windows. See here for the 1001 uses of INOX. You can buy it from Lock Supplies Morphett Vale.
3. Wipe Down Your Hardware Monthly. Especially if you live near the sea! To reduce corrosion, wipe your door knobs with a damp cloth (no chemicals) every month. This prevents the build-up of oxidizing substances that tarnish the hardware and reduce its life.
4. Get Keys Cut By A Reputable Locksmith. Ever seen inside a lock cylinder? They're quite a precise assembly of tiny pins, springs and other moving parts. If keys aren't cut to precision, or out of the right material, they can cause early wear and faulty working. So get your keys cut by a reputable locksmith. See here for an excellent overview of how a pin-tumbler lock works.
5. Tighten If Loose. Many door knobs stick and won't work if the internal screws are loose. Simply tightening these screws can make it work again. If you have difficult-to-operate door knobs, it may be that the screws that hold it together are loose – tighten these as a first step to fixing. See here for an overview of how a door latch works.
There you have it, 5 tips that may save you time and money. Of course, hardware does wear out, so if you're struggling with difficult-to-use door knobs and locks, call The Fixician.

Marvel will punish 'X-men' artist who snuck political references into the latest comic
An Indonesian artist for Marvel snuck in several political and religious references into a recent X-Men Gold issue — and people noticed.
Ardian Syaf, who had previously worked on Batgirl and Superman/Batman titles for DC Comics, had put in references to an ongoing political conflict in Indonesia.
The references, which appeared in the first issue of X-Men Gold released last week, were quickly spotted by Indonesian readers. Many voiced their anger against Syaf.
The X-Men have always stood for inclusiveness and diversity, not bigotry and hatred. @Marvel needs to remove Ardian Syaf from X-Men ASAP.
— Mike V. (@jetsniper) April 8, 2017
It's shameful that a comic that's about minority and inclusivity is being used to peddle intolerant identity politics by its artist. https://t.co/XbvIKLmeZe
— Bernadette Maria (@doggudoggu) April 8, 2017
It is unfortunate that a @Marvel comic has been instrumentalized irresponsibly with contexts that advance racist causes in Indonesia. #xmen
— Sonny Mumbunan (@Sonnymumbunan) April 9, 2017
Ardian Syaf basically reached the peak of his career: working for Marvel and he threw that away for the sake of a weak-ass pun
— Aldy (@aldidot) April 9, 2017
In one of the comic panels, the numbers "212" are seen above a building. In another, the phrase "QS 5:51" is printed on Colossus' shirt.
Syaf had previously posted the "212" comic panel on his Facebook page — which has since been deleted.
The numbers relate to the current ongoing protests against Jakarta's Christian Chinese governor, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, commonly referred to as Ahok.
Ahok is on trial after being accused of insulting the Quran in a September speech — a charge he denies.
A mass rally was held against Ahok last year on Dec 2, or "212", after that speech.
The phrase "5:51" is in reference to a verse in the Quran used by some Indonesians to state that non-Muslims should not be put politically in charge.
Syaf briefly posted an apology on his Facebook page, in which he stated that he was "not anti-Jew or Christian."
This was later deleted from his page, but not before it was captured by netizens.
In a statement to Mashable, Marvel acknowledged that the artwork was inserted but said it was "without knowledge behind its reported meanings."
The comic company also said that the artwork would be "removed from subsequent printings, digital versions and trade paperbacks", adding that "disciplinary action" was being taken.
Mashable has reached out to Syaf for comment.

"I couldn't really focus because there were so many questions on the page," said Katy.
"Once they heard that Katy could not focus, immediately they said well, she has an /*ADD*/ problem," said Ann Kluck, Katy's mom.
Afraid of using meds, Ann Kluck did some research, which led her to an optometrist.
"One of the questions that we ask parents is to decide whether it's an organic attention problem or maybe more related to a vision problem," said Daniel Press, O.D., a development optometrist at Family Eyecare Associates.
Exams found Katy's eyes didn't work well together, the words moved and turned blurry.
She kicked-off eight months of /*vision therapy*/. It's a workout using computer gaming, training the brain to use both eyes together.
"One of the eyes only sees the red target, the other one only sees the blue target. So if you're going to do this well, you have to use both eyes well together," said Press.
Vision experts say 60 percent of kids labeled as problem learners actually suffer from undetected vision problems.
But some have doubts. The American Academy of Pediatrics says vision therapy may give parents and teachers a false sense of security that a child's problems are being addressed.
"I was always the kid who was falling behind in class," said Caroline Moore.
But after vision therapy, Moore said her grades "skyrocketed back up."
So did Katy's.
"It makes me feel good because I'm getting good grades," Katy said.
It's the kind of progress that both mom and patient are proud of.
Vision therapy isn't typically covered by vision insurance, but some major medical plans do cover this therapy. Six-months to a year of therapy sessions can range from $2,500 to $5,000.

Our featured template this week is File Folder, a simple but elegant Lectora branching scenario available with our Template Library Subscription. File Folder is customizable, so feel free to throw your own graphics, fonts, cutout people, and other elements into the mix.
With a classy handwritten font, along with green "Approved" and red "Rejected" rubber stamps on the remediation pages, this template has the pure and straightforward appearance of handwritten office memo. As it stands, it's perfect for just about any corporate eLearning experience, but you can easily modify the color scheme and even add your company's logo to give it that personal touch.

Bayfront Boxes in San Diego, CA
July 24th, 2018
They're not the traditional "Tower", but for this Tower Tuesday, we wanted to feature these side mounted boxes and coax concealments in San Diego, California. Sometimes better than a tower, these side mounted boxes covered three sectors; alpha, beta and gamma to provide better service to guests at a nearby hotel.
This job consisted of 3 side mounted boxes and coax concealments. Two of the boxes are 40′ X 2′- 10″ X 7′- 4′. The third box is 20′ X 2′- 10″ X 7′- 4″. Each included wall mounting support structures and were strategically added to to an existing parking structure. And look at that match! Our RF transparent material looks exactly like concrete thanks to our custom in-house artists and the best part…no antennas are visible. That makes for a successful project! To see more side mounted box projects and gain inspiration for your next project, check out our gallery!

Robert Wade, 92, noted crime novelist
Robert Wade was a mild-mannered guy who wrote hard-boiled stories, part of a wave of crime novelists whose fast-paced pulp fiction captured the public's fascination in the decades after World War II.
Mr. Wade and his writing partner, Bill Miller, penned 30 books under the pseudonyms Wade Miller and Whit Masterson. Their most-famous, "Badge of Evil," was made into a 1958 Orson Welles film, "Touch of Evil," generally considered one of the best crime movies ever.
For the past 35 years, Mr. Wade wrote a regular mystery-book review column, "Spadework," for U-T San Diego and its predecessors.
He died Sunday at his San Carlos home after months of declining health. He was 92.
"All of the books were consistently great reads," said Charles Ardai, editor of Hard Case Crime, which republished the Wade Miller book "Branded Woman" in 2005. "It wasn't art with a capital A. It was potato chip reading, but a really good potato chip is a great thing to eat. And these guys made tasty potato chips."
Mr. Wade was born on June 8, 1920 in San Diego. His father, Wilson, worked in the railroad and health-care industries. His mother, Camille, was a teacher and stay-at-home mom. Their son took to books early and wrote his first novel when he was 8.
"Luckily," he later joked, "no copies survive."
When they were 12, he and Mr. Miller were asked to write a one-act play for their English class at Woodrow Wilson Junior High. That launched a partnership lasting 30 years. They worked together on school publications at Hoover High and San Diego State, and formed a small theater group and motion-picture company.
Mr. Wade took various jobs to finance those pursuits — grocery clerk, shoe salesman, truck driver — and then entered the Army when World War II started. He was a beach-landing infantryman in North Africa, worked counterintelligence in Tunisia, and served as a combat correspondent during the liberation of Rome — experiences that earned him a Bronze Star and gave him lessons in human nature that shaped the writing soon to come.
In 1946, he and Miller wrote their first novel, "Deadly Weapon." For the next 15 years, working 9-to-5 days at an office in La Mesa, they turned out two books a year, sometimes three, many of them featuring a San Diego private eye named Max Thursday.
Mr. Wade wrote the first draft, Mr. Miller revised it, and the two polished the final product together. They thought so much alike they rarely argued.
"He always said that if he didn't treat his writing career like a regular job he wouldn't get anything done," said his son Tim Wade.
His children knew he was a writer, but he wasn't one to talk about it much, according to his daughter, Sara Jeanne Beddow. They knew him as gentle, funny and self-effacing, so it was a surprise when they got older and read his books to find a racy side of him steeped in violence and crime.
The books were part of a postwar boom in crime paperbacks that used bare-knuckled plots to hook readers and keep them turning the pages fast. The lurid cover drawings often featured women in revealing clothes, sometimes with a gun nearby, or a cocktail, or maybe both.
Some of their peers — Ross Macdonald, Ed McBain, John D. MacDonald — enjoyed more critical acclaim than Wade Miller, but few were as successful commercially. Published in 14 languages, their books sold more than 20 million copies worldwide. At least a half-dozen were turned into films, including "Kitten With a Whip," starring Ann-Margret in 1964.
Mr. Miller died in 1961. Mr. Wade wrote another 11 novels using the name Whit Masterson and two others using his own. In 1988, he was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Private Eye Writers of America.
"Spadework," his book-review column, started in 1977 and ran until last October. Arthur Salm, former Books editor for the Union-Tribune, said Mr. Wade's style was popular with readers: "Very direct and not showy at all. He got his points across and really understood the genre." He said Mr. Wade never missed a deadline.
When he wasn't writing, Mr. Wade served on the advisory board of the San Diego Zoo and the Wild Animal Park (now Safari Park).
He is survived by his wife, the former Jeanne Cioe; daughters Winke Lynne Self of San Diego and Sara Jeanne Beddow of Minneapolis; sons Robert Wilson Wade of San Diego and Timothy Owen Wade of Fort Collins, Co.; and five grandchildren.
A memorial service is scheduled for Sunday at 2 p.m. at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Spring Valley.

Air Deep Fryer Emeril
Currently not available
This little kitchen appliance can save you a lot of hassle in the kitchen. However, it is more suited to preparing meals for two people, rather than a large family gathering.
Air Deep Fryer Emeril 3.5 qt. Pro System has a 30-minute timer with auto shutoff. It is of great benefit for anyone who needs help because you cannot gage when the meal is actually finished being fried. Or for those moments, you have your head in the clouds!
It makes frying easy and quick as well as it provides a healthy alternative to how you previously prepared fried foods – no more greasy, horrible oily smells! You do not have to worry about preheating or getting splattered by hot oil either.
Moreover, you will receive many compliments about the delectable morsels you prepare and the consistency in taste when you use the Air Deep Fryer Emeril 3.5 qt. Pro System. It uses the hot air and high-speed air circulation technology to deliver flavorsome foods.
Initially, the product was made available, which makes it affordable. However, the item is currently not available on Amazon, Home Depot, or QVC.
When this happens, it might be an indication that the product has been discontinued by the manufacturer. As such, you can opt for the larger model, because the 3.5 qt was a little small anyway.
What Do Customers Say About Emeril Air Fryer?
So you are thinking of frying up a batch of fried chicken, but you want to be sure, about which air fryer is better suited for your needs. Do not worry. You are on the right track. Taking heed of Emeril air fryer reviews is a great course of action.
No one can tell you the truth like customers who have already experienced how these appliances work.
Amazon Emeril Air Fryer Reviews
An Amazon shopper, The Bookworm Dude, gave a very in-depth account of his experience with the air fryer. For him, this kitchen appliance did not live up to the hype.
"I bought this recently … Usually, the Emeril name means the product has been vetted and has a medium-or-higher standard. But not with this fryer."
He then provided an outline of all the issues. "First of all, the burner is too small for the big size. It just does not generate enough heat. The fan seems to circulate air OK when checked, but the food still cooks unevenly -- as if the heat is absorbed by the food before it can make it around."
Other issues that he experienced included:
- 1It takes 18 to 25 minutes before food begins to brown.
- 2Stopping several times to turn over unevenly cooked foods
- 3Top and bottom do not cook evenly.
- 4Food sticks to the fryer, especially grilled cheese.
- 5The bottom collection tray is not non-stick.
- 6The unevenly distributed coating sticks to your food.
At the end of the day, he surmised that it was junk.
Several other customers complained about the product being cheaply made and griped about the non-stick coating peeling off after one wash, in mild soap.
QVC Emeril Air Fryer Reviews
We also checked on the popular QVC website, which had over 400 user reviews of the product. It averaged a four-star rating there. But we noticed that the product was no longer available on that website.
As highlighted in the prior reviews, the peeling is still an issue.
Pam Madrid shared on QVC, "I purchased this product last year in March. It is July and it has started to peel off inside the air fryer and the basket... was hoping that this … backed up by Emeril would have better quality. But I am deeply saddened to say these really do not last more than 1 year before the start to corrode inside."
Another unfortunate buyer, Greenacres15, stressed that the product was discontinued, according to the manufacturer.
"I love this machine! After using it only one year the outside basket cracked, I used it until the piece fell out. I wrote the company two different times in the past year, they claim this is discontinued so the machine is useless. What I cannot understand is that I see this machine in stores. If anyone knows where I can purchase an outside basket please advice."
Some buyers are happy with their purchase.
Loon731 wrote, "This has been such a great product. We have only cooked frozen items or fresh wings, but this is great. To be able to see the excess oil that comes off of the product is wonderful. I wish it was bigger and would cook items quicker, but I would never give up my Emeril Air Fryer!"
Best Air Fryer Reviews
We concur with many of the findings stipulated by Bestairfryer Reviews.
- 1Choose the model that will satisfy your needs.
- 2Look through online reviews to make up your mind.
- 3Make a careful examination of the functions.
There are different components that come with the various air fryer models. If one design is too complex, then go with another.
Acquiring dust should never be a part of its function.
Also, when you decide to invest in any appliance, make sure you read and perform extensive research. All that glitters are often not gold.
But, sometimes, a particular product model might be faulty and the others perform just fine. Experts and buyers can give you a clear picture on which product is best.
And then look at other elements such as "capacity, power, size, and additional features" to be able to make an informed decision.
Consider the Emeril Air Fryer
At this point, your mind could be overwhelmed by the image of enjoying your own fried delicacy. And this is certainly possible because air fryers make it so easy to prepare a good tasting meal.
However, now that you have a lot more information from the Emeril air fryer reviews, you can go ahead and make a deliberate and well-informed decision. Consider the various models and opt for the one most suited for you and your family.
These air fryers are great devices that should serve you for a while. However, heed the customer reviewers.
Just remember to enjoy your sumptuous meal using this kitchen appliance often. It makes no sense investing in such a helpful air fryer tool and rarely using it.
Again, buyers beware and heed the reviews.
If possible, opt for a better product that is still being produced by the manufacturer and where parts are readily available.
The man may be a legend, but the Emeril air fryer product obviously is not.

"To strike, to postpone, to delay, to fix and to conceal," these memorable instructions from the notebook of *Filip Zlatanov have a new eloquent addition: "To finish!"
This is the word that the former Chair of the Sofia City Court (SCC), Vladimira Yaneva, uses to describe to former SCC judge Rumyana Chenalova the beginning of her own downfall. According to information she has been provided with, on Wednesday evening, February 11, 2015, Prime Minister Boyko Borisov had held a secret meeting with Chief Prosecutor Sotir Tsatsarov and had instructed him to "finish her".
Earlier on the same day, the Prime Minister had ordered Justice Minister Hristo Ivanov to raise before the Supreme Judicial Council the issue with the large number of permits to use Special Surveillance Devices (SSD) approved by Yaneva in the case codenamed "Worms". Ivanov had spoken with Boyko Rashkov, (Director of the Bulgarian National Bureau for SSD Control – editor's note), author of the report "Worms" (see here) that exposed Yaneva. We learned later that this report "simmered" for two months on the desks of people in power until the time to "finish" the boss of the SCC came.
Remarkably, Yaneva seems unperturbed by this totalitarian and corrupt management model, not resting on the rule of law, but on backstage meetings and appointments. As it will become clear later, the judge was looking for ways to "fix things" and avoid punishment through the same channels and the same methods.
I finish, you finish me, they finish us…
Yaneva's "finishing" was initiated after her chatting companion and colleague Chenalova attempted to "finish" with several million the French company "Belvedere" and caused the indignation of the French ambassador. People started speaking openly that under the command of Vladimira Yaneva and her runners, the Sofia City Court has become a machine for contract "finishing" and "fixing" on the orders of people in power, lobbies, business interests. Two months after Yaneva, Chenalova was also "finished" and legal charges were pressed against her. Ultimately, the entire leadership of SCC was replaced, while the report on the administrative "exploits" of Yaneva and other judges contains shocking findings.
The "finishing" procedure has a manifested and a secret side, as the story that Yaneva is telling Chenalova shows. The first happened in the Supreme Judicial Council on Thursday, February 12. Hristo Ivanov arrived at the meeting with Boyko Rashkov. The judiciary "apparatchiks", however, refused to take a stand because Rashkov's report was not declassified.
It was followed by a damning statement of Boyko Borisov who told reporters in Brussels that he wanted 400 years in prison for those found guilty in the case "Worms" because his then-Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov had received a four-year jail sentence. Borisov named precisely Yaneva as the one who must bear responsibility.
The secret procedure, however, was one that really worried the boss of the SCC. First, she was informed about a secret meeting between Borisov and Tsatsarov, where orders to "finish" her were issued. Second, she learned from a reliable source from the Legal World site that the prosecution was preparing to indict her as early Thursday, February 12. The actual indictment happened a week later.
The week between the two SJC meetings has been crucial for the fate of Yaneva, who decided to put up a fight. Behind-the-scenes dealings were happening then in the judiciary and the executive that shatter the illusion of any rule of law in the country.
Yaneva mobilized her lobby in the SJC and according to her words, the Head the Supreme Administrative Court, Georgi Kolev, personally committed to her protection, as demonstrated by the already published recordings. There were other meetings and bargaining with powerful individuals, about which you will learn in the sequel to "YanevaGate"
Vladimira Yaneva – VYA
Rumyana Chenalova – RCH
Man – M
VYA: Because Joro (presumably Georgi Kolev – Chair of the Supreme Administrative Court – editor's note) called me and said they probably will not be able to collect enough votes to remove me. He told me: "It is better to remove you. Because you know what the law is? When proceedings against you are initiated, they can remove you at their discretion. But when you're indicted, you should be removed. That is imperative. Now, if they do not remove me today, he (presumably Chief Prosecutor Sotir Tsatsarvo – editor's note) will indict me. That is even worse. So it is better to remove me.
M: Tsetso (presumably the Interior Minister at the time – Tsvetan Tsvetanov – deitor's note) had pressured him tremendously.
M: He went crazy.
VYA: Boyko (presumably Prime Minister, Boyko Borisov – editor's note) pressured the Chief Prosecutor. He literally drove him crazy.
VYA: He called me last night and told me: "This is the least that I could do in this whole situation."
VYA: Last week, on Thursday, Boyko (Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borisov) at the Council of Ministers, summoned Hristo Ivanov (Bulgarian Justice Minister). And he had said: "Go there and deal with these judges' permits to use special surveillance devices (SSD). And find out if there have been any violations and raise the issue before the SJC. This happened on Wednesday at a meeting of the Council of Ministers. On Wednesday evening, he met with the Chief Prosecutor. And he told him to finish me.
RCH: Boyko did this?
VYA: Boyko. I'll tell you later what I know and from whom; I am first telling you the sequence of facts. So on Wednesday, at the Council of Ministers…
VYA: Prior to that Boyko Rashkov (Director of the Bulgarian National Bureau for SSD Control – editor's note) has been in his office and has brought him the report. And he has examined it. So on Wednesday, at the Council of Ministers, he has told this to the Minister. "See into these judges' decisions and raise the issue before the Council.
VYA: On Wednesday evening, he met with the Chief Prosecutor and told him to finish me.
VYA: On Thursday, the Justice Minister raised the issue and Boyko Rashkov also arrived there.
VYA: And the Justice Minister said that he had invited him to the SJC meeting. However, he lets the following slip: "We met yesterday."
VYA: So, Boyko Rashkov and the Justice Minister met on Wednesday.
RCH: Yes.
VYA: On Thursday, the Council listened and said: This report has not been declassified.
RCH: Yes.
VYA: We have no access to classified information. We cannot read it, and what stand can we take on it?
RCH: Yes.
VYA: Boyko Rashkov became furious, saying that the Council did not pay attention to him and stormed out.
VYA: The Minister also became furious. But nothing happened. Boyko Borisov left on a trip to Belgium, to Brussels.
VYA: He arrived in Brussels. And before Bulgarian journalists in Brussels he says this: "This judge Vladimira Yaneva, 400 years and so on; why have you granted permissions, 300 days, what are these dealings, and so and so on.
VYA: The press attaché came and told me: "A reliable source from the Legal World magazine leaked the information to me that you will be indicted, charged and the prosecution will ask for your dismissal.
*In July 2013, Filip Zlatanov was charged by the prosecution with malfeasance in office after an "intriguing notebook" was seized from his desk. The notebook contained written instructions about a number of cases such as "to strike, to postpone, to delay, to fix and to conceal". It also made it evident that Zlatanov complied with the instructions. The people mentioned in the notebook included Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev. There were also numerous initials believed to be of leading figures in the then (and now) ruling center-right party Citizens for European Development of Bulgaria (GERB). All of them vehemently denied any involvement. Zlatanov also adamantly denied he received instructions for his work, saying these were his own notes with ideas about how to proceed and that he forgot who the people behind the initials were. In April 2014, the Sofia City Court sentenced him to three-and-a-half years in prison and he is appealing the sentence.

The global market for egg phosphatidylcholine is expected to reach USD 12.2 million by 2020. Egg phosphatidylcholine demand is expected to rise on account of its choline content which is an essential nutrient in daily diet. In addition, increasing occurrence of diseases such as Alzheimer's and memory loss for population aged over 65 years is expected to trigger the demand for egg phosphatidylcholine in their treatment.
Dietetic supplements were the largest application segment accounting for USD 5.7 million of egg phosphatidylcholine market revenue in 2013. Increasing awareness regarding consumption of food with high nutritional content is expected to boost the demand for egg phosphatidylcholine over the forecast period. Egg phosphatidylcholine is also used in pharmaceutical applications and accounted for over USD 1.2 million of market revenue in 2013.
Further key findings from the study suggest:
- Dietary supplements were the fastest growing application segment in the egg phosphatidylcholine market, at an estimated CAGR of 5.6% from 2014 to 2020.

In addition, increasing awareness in the youth regarding use of cosmetic products on the basis of quality is expected to further augment the demand for egg phosphatidylcholine.
- Europe was the largest market for egg phosphatidylcholine, with revenue USD 2.9 million in 2013 owing to existence of a strong market for cosmetics due to high consumer awareness.

The holiday season is in full swing, and the National Retail Federation expects total November and December sales (excluding automobiles, gasoline, and restaurants) to reach between $678.75 billion and $682 billion; that means that despite much talk about the death of bricks and mortar, Americans still spend more than $5 in stores for every $1 they spend online (USA Today).
With shoppers spending extra time and money in retail spaces this holiday season, how can lighting improve their shopping experience and boost your business?
Create a shopper-friendly, festive atmosphere with lighting
Improper lighting design, fixtures and outdated technology can often leave retail spaces with dark corners and poorly lit spaces, deterring customers from further exploring and causing them to miss products. High-activity lighting combats this by covering the entire space with strategically placed lights, eliminating the possibility that customers will miss any of your products due to poor lighting (Shopify).
LEDs and connected lighting technology open up a new range of opportunities for dynamic lighting in retail environments. LED lighting paired with lighting controls allow store owners and managers to manipulate lighting to match the time of day and even foot-traffic. By grouping luminaires and maximizing sensors for occupancy detection, you can easily increase lighting in high-traffic areas, or dim or turn off the lights in parts of the store that are not in use.
Selecting a warm or cool temperature for your lighting, depending on the desired outcome, is one way to create an inviting atmosphere in your store. Cool color temperatures such as cool white make areas appear more spacious, whereas warm color temperatures create an impression of smallness and familiarity (Shopify).
Highlight key products with accent lighting
Accent lighting draws attention to a few specific products in storefronts. Using multiple sources of light, you can create contrast, making it easier to highlight details of individual products. Direct shoppers' eyes toward specific displays or products by creating shadows around displays and using spotlights to highlight products on important shelves. By using strong contrast sparingly, you can focus on drawing your customers to sales areas, new items or high-ticket products.
Illuminate large displays with ambient lighting or backlighting
Ambient lighting can have a profound impact on a retail space, while backlighting can be used to achieve a softer, more intimate environment.
For wide displays where you want to highlight a large area, instead of pinpointing a single product, try backlighting displays. Backlighting gives customers adequate lighting to navigate shelves and displays, allowing them the ability to shift through the items on each shelf more easily. Also, softer backlighting can be effective at drawing attention to shelves that are lower to the ground and might otherwise be overlooked (Shopify).
Creating an inviting retail space for customers involves assessing the customer's environment, objectives and constraints and cultivating a solution through lighting design.
