Every summer thousands of kids attend coding camps. But what comes next? How do they keep learning and deepen their interest?
Breakout Mentors pairs kids with a one-on-one mentor who guides them through creative projects during each weekly 90 minute session. The mentor constantly adjusts the difficulty and introduces new concepts as the student is ready. Students are proud of their personalized games and itching to keep learning.
Your child will be carefully matched with a Computer Science student at Santa Clara University by personality and interests to ensure the right mentor fit. Kids build a rapport by meeting the same mentor each week, someone who is equally as exciting about coding!
We are currently accepting new students to start this fall. If you are interested in learning if your son or daughter is a good fit, please contact us today.

So I had a MC after 4 weeks, 6 days. I am still getting bloodwork done to make sure all my HCG levels go back to normal. My husband and I were not instructed not to BD, so we have a few times. Now I am concerned that since my cycle is likely so messed up, history may repeat itself. Does anyone have experience with how long it took them for their cycle to get back to normal after a MC? It has been almost three weeks since I stared the MC and a week since the bleeding/spotting ended entirely.

Germany is not a country that I've ever spent much time in. I'd only ever briefly passed through Frankfurt airport and spent a night in Lubeck. So when I was invited to attend the Elbjazz festival in Hamburg with Hamburg on Tour I had to do some asking around to find out a bit more about the city. What I heard was that Hamburg is a young, alternative city often referred to as "the new Berlin".
I was afraid of the whole vegetarian situation due to Germany's world renowned love of sausage and meat in general. However, turns out I had nothing to worry about. And honestly, that's all I had time to think about before I was on the plane! Here's everything I discovered during my unexpectedly extended (I'll explain later) trip to Hamburg.
Hamburg Festivals and Everything Else
About Hamburg
Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany. It's a port city and is home to Europe's second largest port. Which makes for some extremely interesting local history and heritage. The river Elbe runs through the city and connects it to the North Sea.
The weather in Hamburg was incredibly hot when I was there in June, so much so that there were large thunder and lightning storms due to the heat and humidity. But generally it's a bit more moderate. The city is sprawling and far too vast to explore everything by foot. However, it is a very pedestrian and cyclist friendly city and the public transport is incredibly easy to navigate.
I was surprised to find out that The Beatles spent a couple of years performing in Hamburg in the 60s before they went on to become international super stars! Oh, fun fact, the people of Hamburg are referred to as Hamburgers, which is lots of fun to say.
** IMPORTANT** Pretty much everything in Hamburg shuts down on a Sunday, even the main shopping street and restaurants. So be careful, it can be a really bad day to arrive in the city. There are 4 Sundays a year called "Shopping Sundays" where the shops open regular hours, you can find them HERE. If you're stuck on a Sunday apparently a couple of shops open in the central station but that's pretty much it. When I first discovered this I was absolutely blown away. I'm from tiny Dublin, what could be called a Catholic city, and not even we shut down on a Sunday. I bet the retail employees love it though.
Elbjazz Festival Hamburg
In June I was lucky enough to attend the Elbjazz festival. I watched a performance in the ElbPhilharmonie, which is such a STUNNING building with incredible views of the port. And once the thunderstorms had passed I went to the main festival event in the harbour area which felt like a full on traditional festival with wrist bands and beer stands and discoballs hanging from cranes (OK, maybe that part isn't so traditional).
There were three different stages with different varieties of jazz bands playing. The vibe was fun and friendly with people of all ages in the crowd. There were no hammered men leering at anyone. There were no fights. It was good vibes only and I had a great time.
Every kind of jazz imagineable was represented at the festival with over 50 different acts. One of the most interesting venues at the Elbjazz festival is the MS Stubnitz, an old deep-sea fishing vessel. Next year the event is on 31st May – 1st of June 2019. Two-day tickets are available for €99.
You can read more about the festival here.
Things to do in Hamburg
1 – Try a Hamburg Festival
There are SO many festivals going on in Hamburg throughout the year. While I was there during the Elbjazz festival there was also a street art festival on. There's the Hamburg Film Festival, the Reeperbahn Festival, WutzRock and so many more! There's even an Irish Folk Festival. Hamburg is basically THE place to be if you like the festival vibe. For the full list of festivals check here.
2 – Coffee Tasting
Ok, so coffee tasting is one thing, but coffee tasting in a floating coffee roasterie docked on an island is another experience entirely. This is what we experienced with Public Coffee Roasters during one of their tasting sessions. I never knew that there was so much to think about and look for in coffee. And I LOVE iced coffee, I just had no knowledge about it.
So we got to taste coffee from various places around the world (Colombia, Kenya etc) at different temperatures and remark on their taste, texture, aroma and more. Consistency was key. Public Coffee Roasters also have coffee shops in a few locations in Hamburg, so if you want to skip the tasting and just get your favourite coffee then make sure to pop in for your caffeine fix.
3 – Boat Trip
It makes sense to take a boat trip in such a watery city. The water is a great place to get an incredible view of the city. The Elbphilharmonie in particular looks a lot better from a boat. Plus Hamburg is huge and a boat tour enables you to see a lot of the city in a relatively short period of time. Some boat tours only run English-speaking tours a few times per day so make sure to check in advance so that you're not left completely confused.
If you have a bus/metro ticket or Hamburg transport card then you can use that to hop on the more local Hamburg Ferries. They are used by locals for public transport as an alternative to the bus/metro. There are 7 different lines so you can choose which areas of the city you'd prefer to see. Ferries leave every few minutes from Landungsbrucken.
4 – Explore St.Pauli
I had a day to myself during my trip to Hamburg and I spent the morning exploring this charmingly alternative neighbourhood. There's street art everywhere. No doorway has been left untagged. There's vintage shops and flea markets and organic cafés.
I could have spent hours wandering around St.Pauli. They have their own football team with the skull and crossbones symbol and you'll see flags, posters and stickers everywhere. St.Pauli also contains the infamous Reeperbahn, where the Beatles made their start and where you'll find the red light district. It's a lively area full of bright lights and partying that's well worth a visit in the evening.
5 – Go Shopping
The main shopping street of Hamburg, Mönckebergstrasse, runs from the town hall to central station. There's something for everyone there from chain stores to independent boutiques. When I was there I stumbled upon some sort of protest, but like, a happy protest with lots of love and music. No idea what it was about because I can't read or understand German. I also got myself some VERY cute runners, in case you were wondering. If it's luxury you're looking for then head to Neuer Wall where you'll find brands like Prada and Mulberry.
6- Go to the Beach
Never thought of Hamburg as a beach destination? Yeah me neither. But the Elbstrand beach is just as lovely as any Mediterranean beach I've seen and it does get quite warm in the summer in Hamburg. There are some cute little coffee shops and kiosks dotted along the beach as well and it's a lovely place to have a coffee in the morning.
7 – Visit Blankenese
When I asked Twitter what I should do with my extra day in Hamburg several people recommended visiting Blankenese. SO, I had to see what was so wonderful about it. Blankenese is a beautiful pastel neighbourhood full of roaming roses climbing houses, mirroring the way the neighbourhood seems to climb the surrounding hills. There's even a small beach at the end with a cute little restaurant at the bottom. The neighbourhood is a labyrinth of winding stairs and alleyways and definitely not for anyone who is mobility impaired. But Blankenese sure is a pleasure to get lost in.
8 – Walking Tour
If you're on a strict budget then make sure to try the free walking tour of Hamburg starting at Town Hall Square. It ticks off the big boxes with stops at places like St.Nikolai Church, Hafen City and more. The guides are full of knowledge and never pressure you to tip, you only pay what you can afford and feel is justified. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes as the tour lasts 2.5 hours.
You can find out more here.
9 – Chocolate Museum
I mean, if I was ever going to love a museum it would be a CHOCOLATE museum. The Chocoversum is an extremely interactive museum so you won't be bored. You get to make your own chocolate bar and taste chocolate too! From cacao bean to finished product, you get to follow the whole journey. And, of course, there's a shop full of chocolate for you to choose your favourite to bring home. Entrance is €12.00 for adults. It's the perfect place for chocoholics and pretty much anyone with a sweet tooth.
You can read more about chocolate paradise here.
10 – Miniatur Wunderland
Like tiny things? Like feeling like a giant?? Well, at Miniatur Wunderland you'll find tiny Venice, tiny airplanes, tiny ferries, tiny U.S.A, tiny Scandinavia and more. Things move and light up and there are lots of hidden fun little secrets to discover in the tiny streets of this miniature world. Admission costs €15.00 per adult.
You can read more about Miniatur Wunderland here.
Where I Stayed in Hamburg
During my stay in Hamburg I stayed in a boutique budget hotel, the Motel One Hamburg Am Michel. It's in a great location, just a couple of minutes from St.Michaelis Evangelical Church. Breakfast is included, but the hotel gets VERY busy so I recommend hitting the breakfast buffet early to avoid crowds.
The hotel design is modern and sleek. I particularly liked the outdoor seating area at the front of the hotel. The hotel is located within easy walking distance of the Reeperbahn. It took me about 20 minutes to walk from the City Hall to the hotel. You can also easily walk to the waterfront district to the Elbphilharmonie in around 20 minutes depending on your fitness level.
There's a bar in reception where you can order drinks and some snacks. There is no restaurant in the hotel but there are plenty nearby. The bed is incredibly comfortable. However, I will say my room in the main building was absolutely roasting. I eventually moved to a room in the second building across the little bridge and it was MUCH better. So do check at reception if you can move to the other building if you room is too warm.
Rooms at Motel One Hamburg Am Michel start from €79 per night.
Where to Stay in Hamburg for a More Long Term Stay
If you plan to stay in Hamburg for a month or more then you'll need a more long term solution than a hotel. Honestly, who wouldn't want to spend a few months in Hamburg?! It's such a vibrant, city full of things to see and do. You can actually rent a furnished apartment or room by the month in Hamburg through Housing Anywhere. They have private rooms available from €285/month including bills. Of course, they have more luxury apartments available as well from around €850/month. Honestly, it takes all the stress out of apartment hunting and trying to find a short term lease. If you do decide to stay in Hamburg for a couple of months make sure you have a sofa bed because I can guarantee you that your friends will want to visit.
How to Get to Hamburg
You can fly direct with Ryanair and Aer Lingus from Dublin to Hamburg airport. You can also drive to Hamburg if you feel like having a road trip. I once got the ferry from the UK to the Netherlands with my boyfriend and drove to Copenhagen in Denmark. We passed Hamburg on the way, so it's an option for those who prefer the scenic route.
If you do choose to fly in, it's very easy to get from the airport to the city centre via the metro. Personally I had a mildly unfortunate experience with Hamburg airport. It basically just completely shut down when I was there and all flights were cancelled for two days so I had to reschedule my flight home for 2 days later. It was something to do with a technical fault.
Honestly, I didn't mind one bit! Hamburg is such a huge city that I needed more time to explore. I could have easily spent a full week there. BUT I'm sure that won't happen to you so don't you worry about that. And even if it does, Hamburg is a cool city to be stuck in.
Hamburg on Tour in LONDON
Ok, HERE'S THE EXCITING PART!!!! On September 1st to 2nd Hamburg on Tour will be bringing 'Hamburg festival' to LONDON. It will all be kicking off in the The Boiler House in Truman Brewery, Brick Lane in Shoreditch. There'll be food (INCLUDING CHOCOLATE FROM CHOCOVERSUM), music, drinks and more.

**I was hosted on this trip by Hamburg on Tour and the Hamburg Tourism Board. However, as always, all views and opinions are my own.**

text: What's the fundamental problem here? You're using mailman, which is in use on thousands of machines. It should be possible to copy it to one of them or set up a new one in no time. Maybe the likes of github or sourceforge are an option, if they run a mailing list service, but if and when such places go bang they tend to be impossible to get stuff out of. Hopefully that won't happen because a lot of people will be hurting... I don't know how many subscribers there are, but it's not a busy list. Maybe being hosted by one of the many projects that use the GC is a good option? I'm sure that, for example, the Dylan Hackers would be happy to. We already run our own lists, have good continuity of machine availability over the last 14 years, and even just had a release this week :-) There's probably a bigger, more active, project that depends on Boehm GC, but we're here and (speaking only for myself at the moment) available.

Here is an updated post on How to See Your Blocked Friends On Facebook. Continue below.
Furthermore, the messenger is an amazing way to communicate. With Messenger, we can talk boundlessly and now the live call is readily available on the most current variation of Facebook Messenger. How To See Your Blocked Friends On Facebook, But when it says not able to send out messages and reveals mistake then it ends up being genuinely troubling.
Posts Contribution:
We at BuzzFeedNg are lovers of great contents; we accept posts contribution that are honest and related to the topics that we cover here on BuzzFeedNg.com. Kindly send your post to us via [admin(at)buzzfeedng.com] or [coolieecoldex(at)gmail.com] and we will publish free of charge.
Continue reading below;
As you know messenger got popular to chat and to make calls for complimentary. There is no timeline to have to deal with. The reason it is popular for its user-friendliness. But, if you got obstructed on Facebook messenger by someone, you can confirm this with two things.
When some chats are going on and a constant chat (one of those) get stopped then this influence our state of mind to off.
How To See Your Blocked Friends On Facebook
Here we will discuss a few matters which will expose what took place with that. Either this individual obstructed you while chat was going on or he just has deactivated his profile. Along these lines, as a matter of very first importance, refresh the messenger app and inspect what is appearing in the name of that person.
i) If you see any connection mistake with your app, it would not fill and will reveal the same mistake. Because case, you can not be sure that he blocked you.
ii) However, if you see 'Facebook User' on that name then it might be the factor that he obstructed you. To make it confirm we need to do another test, after that we can specify exactly what is an actual case here!.
For verification, go to desktop or mobile browser window in incognito mode (while logged out) and open the individual's profile URL. If you able to find that a person then you are obstructed, however if not able to find, indicates he deactivated his Facebook profile. It is easy.
Ways to Tell if Someone Blocked me on Facebook from Seeing Posts?
If you can see his profile and can talk also, but not able to obtain his stuff is revealed to you then this can occur. There is an action included for timeline post sharing on Facebook where you can preserve your posts to be revealed by some friends.
You can be sure after contacting two methods if you are blocked-.
1. Examine that profile after logging out.
Just get the connect to his profile and inspect that the as soon as you logged out. Simply see what you can see on that profile. The stuff you see on that profile would not be viewable from your ID (when visited) if you are blocked by that person from seeing his Facebook Activity.
2. Taking help from Others.
In some cases people set their profile stuff concealed from the general public and set to viewable only by 'Friends' or 'Buddies of Buddies'. Because case, after logging out and checking profile link would not offer you the precise outcome.
So, for this simply ask a shared buddy about what the last share or post by the individual so that you can match with what you see on your ID. For proof, you can also ask a screenshot of the individual ID that your buddy see. If he finds something different or more than you can see then this is clear that the individual limited you on Facebook from seeing his posts.
Is it Possible to Block Someone from Seeing Posts on Facebook?
There are lots of personal privacy settings on Facebook which controls over numerous things on your profile and shares. Facebook is developed to stage where anything you desire to do now is possible.
You don't have to unfriend anyone to conceal your posts from certain buddies. You can quickly stop the particular person from seeing you post in future. Although, the existing posts can also be modified.
Let's begin the steps about the best ways to stop a good friend from seeing your posts–.
1. Simply go to 'Settings' and then click 'Timeline and Tagging'.
2. There you will see the choice 'Who can see things on my timeline?'. There will be 2 choices, you involve the both. Just choose now one of this. And go for 'Customized'.
3. Simply under the 'Do not share with' enter the name of your friend whom you wish to obstruct to see posts. Set and click 'Save Changes'.
Ways to Know that You are Blocked just on Facebook Chat however not on Facebook?
This is extremely basic to say. Facebook has an option also for Chat settings where you can see 'obstruct messages' clicking on the equipment icon. As soon as someone blocks your messages utilizing that alternative then you will not be able to send out any messages to that individual.
But, the other all will show up to you. You can comment and reply to him on remarks. The settings here just obstructs you from sending out messages to him.
If you unable to send out messages to a person however on the other hand you can do other all stuff then it
implies he blocked you in Chat or Messenger but not Facebook. You are still buddy with that person and he can unclog you anytime he wants.
Some FAQs on Facebook Block:.
1. Will Facebook alert you when someone blocks you?
No, never. It is some inward plan of Facebook that does not let to inform that specific that who are obstructed.
2. Will you able to see future posts of that individual who blocked you?
Absolutely not. If somebody obstructs you, you would not have the capability to discover that specific any longer. If the remarks and likes on any posts you would not see that. It is completely hidden like the individual is not accessible on Facebook by you.
When you are not blocked however rather in addition not able to see him If you not able to see the individual either with the brand-new ID or with logging out then this may be the cause that the individual deactivated this profile or set his privacy only for buddies of friends. This is truly tricky now to find the person.
However, I have also a basic and unbelievable response for this. As you were good friend with that individual, that is why you might have kept in mind any of the mutual pals of the person. So, if you remembered such an individual then all set. Just, send a buddy request with your brand-new ID to that shared friend at this minute.
( Note: It is imaginable that if the individual has obstructed you in old profile then you are not going to see him with that profile. Along these lines, we are making use of new ID).
If somebody obstructs you on Facebook, the much better technique to contact that specific with another profile. So, if you get obstructed to send out messages and wish to examine the person, look into your good friend list. Find, if any good friend missing from there. However, if you see a pal named 'Facebook User' on your buddy list then that implies the individual deactivated his/her account.

You might say they make strange bedfellows. The Vatican isn't exactly known for the way it embraces science and technology, just ask Galileo. Oddly enough though, the Vatican finds itself in a bit of a quandary. How can one of the oldest known libraries preserve ancient texts for future generations? The answer to that question comes from a NASA developed technology used to preserve images from satellites like the Hubble Space Telescope.
Archivists at the library have already begun the task of scanning the delicate Tomes that it houses into a file format called FITS. FITS stands for Flexible Image Transport System and was developed by NASA in the late 1970's. The format is open source and designed to always be backwards compatible. According to Wikipedia, there is a saying "once FITS, always FITS" to describe how all future implementations of this format must be backwards compatible. The format stores more than just an image. It contains a text header that contains instructions for processing the data it contains. An overview of FITS can be found on NASA's website here.
The problem for the Vatican Library staff is that every time the ancients texts are handled, it presents the possibility to damage them. Luciano Ammenti, director of the Vatican's Information Technology Center, chose FITS because of its open-source approach, its longevity over several decades, and the fact that it's not owned by any one company. Having a format like FITS that will be compatible with computer systems long into the future will cut down on the necessity of having to handle these Tomes again just to convert them to the next big fad in imaging technology.
I think this all goes to show that science and religion don't always have to be mortal enemies. Through the advances of science, people of faith will be able to delve deep into their origins for years to come, and scientists, such as anthropologists, will be able to see a timeline of human behavior and development over the course of many years. Sounds like a win-win to me.

Perhaps, I am laying my soul bare when I say I do not like the term 'natural' wine. Perhaps, my soul has at least some essential coverings with the next statement. I am not necessarily against the wines themselves or the philosophy of minimal additives, processes and other types of intervention used in their production however. Being the curious soul that I profess to be, in the pursuit to discover more about these wines I attended the RAW Artisan Wine Fair in London in May 2015.
There was an amazing cornucopia of wines to be found that day in the Old Truman Brewery. All made with as little artifice and as much passion as possible. This is a great wine fair if you can get to one, I believe there will be another in Berlin, Germany later this year. Surprisingly, there were plenty of wines, organic and biodynamic wines, that you might buy any day without knowing that they fall into this category. Wineries such as Cullen, Seresin, Larmandier-Bernier and Chateau le Puy were all present.
To my way of thinking, to use the term 'natural' to categorise a wine is misleading and results in much confusion in the minds of wine drinkers.
I have written about this category of wine here, including some definitions that might prove helpful.
The philosophy behind the 'natural wine' movement, however, is something to be applauded. Creating wines that are made with minimal intervention should in the end produce a wine that reflects the terroir from where the grape are grown… As long as they are made skilfully and the resulting wine has a minimum of faults to detract from the wine's drinking pleasure. There are times when poorly made wine is forgiven by some more passionate advocates because the term natural is on the label. I have tasted some whites that command a high price that all too closely remind me of my own failed elderflower wine experiment made with baker's yeast in my lounge room. Highly oxidized and just unpleasant.
There are plenty of great examples. Unfortunately there are a number of detractors too, sometimes with cultish followers amongst those who have that responsibility of getting these wines into drinker's glasses.
To my way of thinking, to use the term 'natural' to categorise a wine is misleading..
The advocates of natural wines are also about transparency: of production, of labelling, and not just about provenance and potential allergens. This I can only see as a good thing, something to be welcomed, adding to the importance of this category. If only there was another buzz word to use other than the misleading 'natural wine' but I guess, 'minimum interference wine' does not roll off the tongue so easily.
In essence, the term covers a multitude of wines and styles from wines made from organically or biodynamically grown vines with more modern techniques through to wines made using an amphora as a vessel to ferment the wine in the way of the ancient winemakers. There is some more detailed information on the RAW website that may help you to better understand these wines.
With no officially recognised certification for natural wines, the organisiers of RAW published a Charter of Quality that each exhibitor had to fulfil to be included in the line up at the fair. This charter specifies that the estate's production must be entirely organic and/or biodynamic, hand-harvested, no added yeast (unless a sparkling wine), no winemaking additives except for low levels of sulphites (total sulphite may not exceed 70 mg/l), no 'heavy manipulation' of the wine and any fining agents or chaptalisation or acidification to be detailed on the label.
This seems a good place to start in the description of how these wines gain entry into the category. I attended this fair with expectations of seeing a lot of ill made wines under the guise of being made with little intervention by inexperienced winemakers as well as a few excellent examples. Instead, I discovered few ill made wines and many excellent wines and realise that I had probably been caught up in all the sommelier hype about a few esoteric producers and did not think to find a showcase of biodynamic and organic producers amongst the exhibitors.
I think that what remains is to highlight some of the discoveries found at RAW – the good, the bad and the ugly!!
The first one for this week is….
Cullen Amber 2014 (AUD$39)
This is the first vintage of this wine made by one of Australia's best wine producers, who happens to be biodynamic. This is a Semillon (64%) Sauvignon Blanc (36%) blend with fruit from the renown Margaret River region's Mangan vineyard. 2014 was a great vintage for Semillon and thus a great opportunity to make this inaugural release wine.
One of the things that makes this wine so unique is that it has been made with a variety of different vessels: open fermenters and stainless steel tanks before moving some into new oak, plus a portion spending time in amphora. What makes this wine work so well is a much awarded team in both viticulture and winemaking who know how to bring out the best fruit expression in a wide range of wines including this complicated blend. They are certainly not new to winemaking and this experience adds to the expression of winemaking detail in Amber.
By making this wine like a red wine, the Cullen team have given it a silky polish, intense fruit punctuated by creamy oak spices and subtle tannins. The extended skin and oak contact has given the wine an amber hue as well as extra body and depth. Lush floral, creamy whipped honey, mandarin and white peach fruit, is spiced up with cardamom and ginger while soft acid lengthens the fleshy palate.
There is an abundance of complexity, texture and detail to this wine. This is an intriguing wine that should be enjoyed with food.
Seresin Pinot Noir Leah 2012 (NZ$38)
Owned by cinematographer, Michael Seresin, Seresin is one of Marlborough's hottest wine producers, particularly of cool climate Pinot Noir. The easily recognisable label brings to mind Saruman's hand print from a film from another famous New Zealand film maker. Pinot Noir grape variety from the Marlborough region is often overlooked by drinkers, often shadowed by the fame of that region's Sauvignon Blanc and Central Otago's reputation for Pinot Noir. It is also a cellar door that has an amazing view over Marlborough. Seresin's grapes are both organically and biodynamically grown.
The Leah Pinot Noir is hand picked, fermented with wild yeast and then has spent nearly a year in barrel, of which only around 20% is new. The older oak has allowed the prettiness of the fruit to shine through. The nose is fragrant with ripe cherry and plum, violets, spicy black pepper, mushroom, and a hand full of green herbs.
The perfumed notes continue on the palate adding vibrancy to the fruit. Some very fine powdery tannins fill the mouth giving Leah a very appealing and lasting sleekness. This is a wine that is built to take some age gracefully. However, if like me, you really like that perfumed freshness drink it over the next few years to capture it.

Surgical Tables Market (Type - Powered, Unpowered; End Use - Hospital, ASCs, Clinics; Surgery Type - General Surgery, Special Surgery) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2017 - 2022
- Category : Healthcare
- Format :
Press Release :
Global Surgical Tables Market: Snapshot
Surgical tables comprise one of the first requirements of a modern healthcare system and thus are likely to be in constant demand over the near future. The global surgical tables market has benefited significantly from the rising investment in the healthcare sector across the world regardless of the economic state of the country. Developed countries have led the way in modernizing their healthcare sectors and incorporating major technological advances, but healthcare agencies in developing regions such as the Middle East, Japan, Asia Pacific, and Latin America are also likely to become major players in the global healthcare sector. This is likely to drive the global surgical tables market at a steady rate in the 2017-2022 forecast period. The increasing acknowledgment of the need to improve the surgical area to maximize its utility and comfort is likely to drive the global surgical tables market.
According to Transparency Market Research, the global surgical tables market was valued at US$837.1 mn in 2017 and is expected to rise to US$1,014.3 mn by 2022 at a steady 4.1% CAGR therein.
North America to Dominate Global Surgical Tables Market
Geographically, North America is likely to be the leading contributor to the global surgical tables market in the coming years. The North America market is driven by the steady rise in demand from the surgical tables market in the U.S., where the healthcare sector is highly developed. The North America surgical tables market is expected to rise to a valuation of US$301.5 by 2022, expanding upon its 2017 valuation of US$246.9 mn at a strong CAGR of 4.1% between 2017 and 2022.
Rising Investment in Developing Regions Crucial for Surgical Tables Market
Despite the dominant role of Western countries in the technological development of the healthcare sector, emerging countries such as China, India, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brazil, Argentina, the UAE, and Saudi Arabia are likely to be vital to the global surgical tables market in the coming years. Several of these countries house rapidly growing healthcare sectors that are receiving significant government funding as well as private investment. This has enabled steady growth of the growth of component industries such as the surgical tables market. The increasing spending power of healthcare agencies in these regions is also likely to lead to growing demand for surgical tables and other such hospital implements.
Innovation in Developed Regions to Boost Surgical Tables Market
Developed countries such as the U.S., the U.K., France, and Germany are home to flourishing surgical tables markets that are likely to undergo smooth growth in the coming years due to the steady backing for healthcare innovation in the region. Widespread regulatory support for incorporation of technological advances in the healthcare sector is likely to help the surgical tables market achieve steady growth in Europe in the coming years. Despite being likely to lose some BPS over the forecast period, Europe accounted for 27.8% of the global surgical tables market in 2017 and is likely to remain a dominant contributor in the coming years.
Hospitals to Remain Dominant Contributor amid Growing Demand from ASCs
By end use, hospitals are likely to dominate the global surgical tables market. Hospitals have been the conventional leader in the surgical tables market and are likely to exhibit steady growth in demand over the coming years. Nevertheless, ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) are becoming an important part of the healthcare sector in developed countries and are likely to contribute consistently to the surgical tables market in the coming years.
Competitive Dynamics
Key companies examined in the report include AMTAI Medical Equipment, Inc., Allengers Medical Systems Limited, C-RAD AB, Getinge AB, Skytron Inc., STERIS, Elekta AB, Span America Medical System Inc., and Stryker Corporation. New players could also enter the surgical tables market in the coming years due to the lucrative opportunity on offer in the market, leading to intense competition.
Global Surgical Tables Market: Overview
New players are finding it difficult to gain a foothold in the global market for surgical tables on account of the stronghold of their well-entrenched international counterparts. The latter, with the massive resources they command, are coming up with advanced products every now and then to up the ante against their rivals. Electric surgical tables, advanced operating tables, and electro-hydraulic operating tables are some such superior products they are seen working on to cater better to the needs of patients. Besides, they are also offering end-to-end service to retain customers.
Smaller local manufacturers, with limited capital, are finding it tough to innovate technologically superior surgical tables and thereby provide a challenge to the market heavyweights. Despite it, however, there are numerous players operating in the global market for surgical tables making it extremely fragmented.
Overall, the market for surgical tables holds out a lot of promise in both developed and developing regions. While the developed nations of Germany, the U.S., the U.K., and France already have a thriving market, emerging economies of India, China, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brazil, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE are no less in contributing to demand, particularly of technologically advanced products.
Global Surgical Tables Market: Trends and Opportunities
Serving to catalyze growth in the global market for surgical tables is the supportive healthcare policies framed by the governments of various nations. Those include subsidies provided on drugs and other healthcare devices alongside provisions for inexpensive treatments of patients in state-owned hospitals and clinics. Besides, increasing number of private and public healthcare centers and the growing ability of people to spend on quality treatment facilities is also positively influencing the market.
Apart from that, the rising pool of elderly highly prone to different ailments that often require surgeries, rising instances of chronic diseases, and alarming rise in the number of accidents is benefitting the market for surgical tables too. Constant upgrading of equipment by hospitals, ambulatory surgical centers, and other treatment centers to improve efficacy is another growth driver.
Hospitals are the dominant end use segment in the global market for surgical tables that would likely expand their leading share further in the next couple of years. Ambulatory surgical centers form another prominent end use segment, particularly in the healthcare sector in advanced nations.
Global Surgical Tables Market: Regional Outlook
From a geographical standpoint, North America at present leads with maximum share in the market for surgical tables on account of the numerous state-of-the-art healthcare centers in the region. Europe is another major market which is likely to rise at a healthy pace in the next couple of years. This because of the strong policy and financial support provided by the governments of most countries and the presence of numerous companies producing medical devices in the region. In terms of growth rate, on the other hand, Asia Pacific is expected to outshine all other regions. Japan is one of the steady contributors to the revenue in the region.
Companies Mentioned in the Report
In order to examine the competitive scenario in the global market for surgical tables, the report profiles players such as Allengers Medical Systems Limited, Span America Medical System Inc., C-RAD AB, Skytron Inc., AMTAI Medical Equipment, Inc., Elekta AB, Getinge AB, Stryker Corporation, and STERIS.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, mocked NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg for pandering to Donald Trump in his latest article with the Guardian, blasting the military block for overdependence on the US."We face the greatest challenges to our security in a generation. This is no time to question the value of the partnership between Europe and the United States," Stoltenberg wrote in the British newspaper. "In the last few years we have seen a dramatic deterioration of our security, with a more assertive Russia and turmoil across north Africa and the Middle East," he added. The NATO chief's article seems to be trying to make Trump change his stance on the military block, which he accused of being helpless against a terrorist threat during his campaign. The US president-elect also threatened to tell NATO allies, who didn't "reimburse" Washington's military protection that they would be defending themselves. The partnership between Russia and America is already showing signs, as Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman grilled NATO Chief General Jens Stoltenberg grilled NATO for their dependence of US military forces protecting nations involved in NATO...For Trump has mentioned his disgust of NATO using America as their puppet to protect the nations of NATO, when NATO nations don't pay their dues. Maria Zakharova is exactly right, because NATO is a globalist military force and United Nations arm...Which has forced American tax payers to pay all the dues for NATO to survive. Like I've personally stated in the past week an alliance is forming against the globalist, in an alliance that has said no to United Nation globalist agendas...And those four nations are now Britain, Russia, America, and if Le Pen wins France. The globalist entities of the UN and NATO are falling apart, and they soon might not have back up from the worlds four strongest super powers.

Find out more about The Railway Man
1942. Tens of thousands of brave young soldiers become prisoners of war when Japanese forces overrun Singapore. Churchill calls it "the greatest disaster ever to have befallen the British Empire".
Eric Lomax, a 21-year-old signals engineer and railway enthusiast is one of the men who has surrendered. Sent to work on the construction of the notorious Death Railway in Thailand, Lomax witnesses unimaginable suffering: men forced to hack through rock and jungle, beaten, starved and prey to tropical diseases.
He builds a secret radio to bring hope. As he whispers news of Hitler's defeats or American advances in the Pacific, a thousand backs straighten and exhausted, desperate men resolve to survive another day.
When the radio is discovered, Lomax faces beatings, interrogation and worse. Barely surviving the war he returns home, like so many others, to a country unable to imagine what he and his comrades have been through. Haunted by the face of one young Japanese officer, he shuts himself off from the world.
And then one day, decades later, he meets a beautiful woman – on a train, of course. Patti makes him laugh for the first time. They court like teenagers and marry quickly. But on their wedding night Lomax's nightmares return: the young Japanese officer dragging him back to the horrors of the past, insisting the war is not over.
Patti finds Lomax screaming on the bedroom floor. Humiliated and confused, he disappears within himself again, turning his silent fury on his wife, making her life unbearable.
She struggles to find out what torments the man she loves. Battling the code of silence that unites the former prisoners of war, she persuades the enigmatic Finlay to tell her a shocking secret.
The Japanese officer who holds the key to what really happened to her husband is still alive, and Finlay knows where he is. Patti must decide: should Lomax, a man desperate for revenge, be given this information? Will she stand by him, whatever he does?
Her decision sets up a return to Thailand for a stunning, unexpected and ultimately triumphant finale to an extraordinary true story of heroism, humanity and the redeeming power of love.

Regular price
This extra large Carina has been fashioned with a body of hand hammered nickel silver, bronze accents and a translucent black material with shreds of aluminum suspended in it.
The hand forged clip has been done in bronze and features an asymmetrical shape. Bands of bronze also accent the section, body and lower finial. The pen is pretty close to my usual Carina sizing other than length. Both the cap and body are a bit longer than usual. I have taken pains to reduce the weight of the metal components by boring them out and making them as thin walled as practical. The effect is a substantial but not unwieldy pen.
The nib is a Jowo #6 in Rose Gold over Steel, however you may select your preferred width and finish from the drop down list (may affect delivery time).

Featuring songs ranging from Broadway to pop, rock, country and jazz, the 30 members of Chantilly High's Touch of Class Show Choir will present their Fall Cabaret, next Wednesday-Thursday, Oct. 4-5, in the school cafeteria.
"IT'S A SPECIAL project they do every year, and it is unlike their usual concerts," said Choral Director Glenn Cockrell. "Normally, they all sing together as a choir. This features them individually as soloists."
And there's food, too. Dinner from Famous Dave's will be served from 6:30-8 p.m., with the show starting at 7 p.m. Reserved seats are $9 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under.
Purchase tickets from choral students or in the cafeteria from 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Order forms are available in the office. Tickets will be sold at the door, if still available. Call Joyce Resua at 703-478-6382.
"We completely transform the cafeteria into a dinner-theater setting with a raised stage, theater lighting, nice backdrops and a full sound system," said Cockrell. "It's an upbeat, casual atmosphere."
The wide variety of songs will include numbers such as "A Moment Like This," "Crocodile Rock," "Ring of Fire," "Rock This Country," "Sad Tango," "Simple Things," and show tunes like "Big Spender," plus "Somewhere" from "West Side Story."
The choral students are also using this performance to raise money to travel to a national competition in the spring. And professional, Broadway choreographer Sarah Pramstaller, a Chantilly choral alumni, has been hired to do the choreography for their competitive show.
"In addition to the singing and good food at the cabaret, we'll also do a lot of other fun stuff during the evening," said Cockrell. "Throughout the event, we'll be giving away a whole lot of different door prizes donated by local merchants."
There'll also be a raffle for a digital camera, plus a silent auction for several, themed baskets. And, said Cockrell, "Every penny goes right to the kids for the fund-raising."
The show will last about three hours, but people are free to move around during it. And popcorn, candy and beverages will be available for purchase so the audience may enjoy snacks all during the performance.
Cockrell said the cabaret teaches the choral students how to prepare for a performance. "They each get to create the choreography and select the costume to best illustrate their song," he explained. "They even find the music and what fits their range and style."
IN THE SUMMER, each one selects a fast, slow and moderate-tempo song — in various styles of music. Then in September, they tape themselves singing these songs and Cockrell chooses the best from each student.
"It parallels the process you'd go through as a performer auditioning for a live show," he said. "That way, they better understand what it takes, and the cabaret gives them solo experience." In addition, students perform their songs in class to get critical feedback from their peers.
Cockrell said the show's coming along well and should be a real crowd-pleaser. "I heard some really neat things on the tapes," he said.
The cabaret is always a big hit every year, said Cockrell, because "It's a great, family night. You get a good meal and a show — and you could even win some prizes, all at the same time, so it's a great night out and a nice, community event."
He said the students have worked really hard to create the show, and he's also pleased because "It's a chance to see kids doing something positive. Everybody will find some music they like, and the money raised will be a great support for the kids."

Best of Striped Fashion
I truly believe that stripes never go out of fashion. When it comes to incorporating striped clothing in your wardrobe, whether it be stripe tops, striped jeans or striped sweaters, they can be worn all year round, including Spring, Fall, Winter and Summer.
Here is my version of the 'Best Of' Striped Fashion this year so far. What do you think? Do you have any of these? Or can you see yourself in any of these striped tops, striped jeans or striped sweaters? I have a few and I will definitely be adding some more striped clothing to my closet. Striped clothing and fashion accessories are so versatile, that they can literally be worn with any color you choose.
There is so many different types of stripe clothing you can buy and wear. For me personally, my favorite are blue and white striped clothing for Summer and Spring as it has more of a nautical, lighter feel to it, whereas in Winter and Fall, I prefer to wear black and white striped clothing, matching it with black jeans and black jacket.
Remember, stay blessed and as always, stay in vogue xx

What went wrong with XIV?
By Simon Gleadall, CEO of Volcube.
What went wrong with XIV?
On the face of it, absolutely nothing! The VelocityShares Daily Inverse Vix Short-Term ETN looks set for redemption, with its shareholders likely to receive just a few cents in the dollar. However, whilst the dust may still be settling, it appears that XIV's collapse has occurred precisely as was always intended. And that is when we compare its demise with the rather unappealing forecast made in the product's own prospectus, on page 15….
"The long term expected value of your ETNs is zero. If you hold your ETNs as a long term investment, it is likely that you will lose all or a substantial portion of your investment."
'Investors' cannot claim they were not warned. Whilst it was not inevitable that XIV would collapse to zero, over the long term it was highly likely. All that was required was for the VIX index to double in a day. Since this results in a 100% increase in the VIX, therefore XIV should deliver a negative 100% daily return. True enough, this has not really happened since the VIX has been officially published, nor for the period before that when it can be historically reconstructed (a total timespan of some 30 years). But it was clearly not beyond the realms of possibility for a doubling to occur.
The mechanics of the collapse seem to have involved the issuer deciding their stop had been triggered, at which point they looked to buy back tens, or even hundreds, of thousands of VIX futures. These short futures positions were held by the fund as the proxy for being short the VIX index (which itself is not tradable). Holders of XIV shares had seen the value of the shares rise several-fold over recent years as volatility remained low. The primary source of the asset's rise however was the 'rolling' of the futures each month, as longer dated VIX futures were typically 10-20% higher in price than those due to expire presently. The fund would buy back the expiring future and sell the higher priced longer dated future. Thus the fund could accrue profits, month after month, sometimes even if volatility (i.e. the VIX) generally rose.
The execution of these futures in pretty spectacular size in the face of a falling stock market, almost certainly triggered more volatility elsewhere. In the aftermath of this collapse, it seems very likely that the regulators will take another look at volatility ETNs. Firstly, since plenty of retail investors will have, yet again, been wiped out using what are essentially complex 2nd or 3rd order derivatives wrapped up a respectable-looking exchange-traded products. SPY or HYG, volatility ETNs are most certainly not. Secondly, these products are clearly structurally troublesome to the wider market, when in distress. Any derivative should derive its value from something else; preferable something bigger. Whenever the derivative tail starts wagging the spot product dog, a nasty feedback loop can occur. This may well have happened in this instance; stocks falling leading to the VIX spiking, leading to XIV getting into trouble, leading to the VIX spiking, leading to stocks falling more etc…The cause and effect direction is speculative and debatable, but it is very hard to argue that these products can trade in a vacuum when, by definition, they are pointing at each other.
Why would anyone have been long XIV?
Was being long XIV, or other short-vol ETNs, a ridiculous position? The knee-jerk answer is yes. However, the profits in recent years have been significant from being long such products. Anyone who top-sliced, or took large dividends from similar products such as VMIN, may have escaped less scathed than late comers to the party. The doubling 'in a day' of the VIX may not have occurred for years to come, in which case these products may have still rallied even in the face of the a VIX rally, due to the roll-effect. And presumably if anyone was holding these products as a hedge against volatility remaining low, then the 'position' they were hedged against, one hopes, has gone their way, since volatility has undoubtedly spiked. Nevertheless, it is hard to argue the case for a product that has just collapsed to near-zero, just as its issuers seemed to promise it would! And one suspects that any regulator taking a further look at these products may reach such a conclusion. They may find they receive support in that view from the wider ETP/ETF industry, many of whom are wary of being tarnished by association with products that are far removed from a vanilla stock, commodity or bond index tracking retail-friendly offering. Time will tell.

*Dr. Rechkemmer is Now Retired
Dr. Rechkemmer is originally from Iowa where she was a four sport high school athlete and three sport college athlete. She graduated from Des Moines University College of Podiatric Medicine and Surgery in 1992. She went on to complete her foot and ankle surgical residency training in Minnesota.
She came to Wheaton in 1995 and joined Instep Podiatry. As the owner and lead doctor the practice has expanded over the last two decades. She has developed a strong reputation over the years that brings patients from all over the Chicagoland area.
Dr. Rechkemmer treats all foot and ankle conditions and believes in educating the patient on their particular condition and also feels it is important for the patient to participate in their care. She is well known for answering all questions the patient may have regarding their condition and treatment options available. With her more than 20 years of experience she does do a number of second opinions and takes on many difficult cases. One of the things her patients appreciate is that surgery is not always her first approach to a problem. Conservative options are discussed prior to consideration of surgery.
More recently Dr. Rechkemmer has also focused her practice on Sports Medicine. She is a triathlete and three time Ironman which allows her to better understand the athlete. She treats many athletes of all ages and a variety of sports. She sees a number of runners who appreciate her thorough evaluation including gait analysis along with her ability to communicate with them as an athlete herself. Her philosophy is to allow the patient to continue activity when possible and also to focus on ways to prevent injuries in the future.
Dr. Rechkemmer is board certified by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery and a fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgery.

26 May Year 7 trip to Imperial College
Two of our year 7 science classes took part in an exciting, high profile, event at Imperial College Friday 20th May, accompanied by Dr Doyle, Mr Edmonds, Mrs Gill and Mr Dy. They attended a lecture given by Dr Simon Foster about space travel, which was also broadcast live on the internet. Our students witnessed amazing science demonstrations and asked a number of excellent questions that caught the attention of VIP guests who were present at the event.
The highlight was when our students and teachers were given the opportunity to meet several European astronauts, including the UK's very own Helen Sharman, who is the first British astronaut as well as the first woman to visit the Mir space station.


text: Do folks living in the land of rising sun need a cup of most expensive coffee to start their day? Well, not all, but certainly there is a niche of coffee drinkers who would love to sip on to a hot beverage make from Panama's Esmeralda Especial coffee beans. Touted to be the world's most expensive coffee, Saza Coffee will be offering it from 2nd of December for 1,200 yen ($18) per cup. Saza is the first company in Japan to buy the high-quality beans through an auction by paying $117.50 per pound for the coffee. And that is almost 100 times more than the cost of average coffee beans. However I am not convinced with their claim of Panama's Esmeralda Especial coffee beans to be the world's most expensive coffee. Here on Luxurylaunches we have already served to our readers the £50 ($82) per cup or the $30 per cup coffee that can claim the honor of being the most expensive coffee.

A few days ago, I had a minor operation done at Day Surgery Centre at the Khoo Teck Puat Hospital. Usually, it is good news if we don't have to experience the healthcare system of our country. It was my first taste of our much discussed healthcare system.
For the benefit of all, I will provide a quick walk-through on the process.
To get a referral to the hospital for my minor problem, I first headed to the polyclinic to visit the doctor which confirmed the medical condition. I was given a choice of hospitals to choose from, along the estimated appointment date. The polyclinic staff tried to make the appointment but couldn't get through to the hospital. I was sent home and would be notified via phone once the appointment was done.
Turns out the earliest appointment I can get is in 2 months time! Nothing can do about this, so I patiently waited till the appointment date and headed down to the hospital.
The first visit is merely a consultation and the doctor would simply confirm the issue and offer you options with explanations of each. My condition is medically harmless but it did cause some inconveniences to my daily life. Therefore, I opted for surgery.
After the consultation with the doctor, I waited for the second consultation on the same day. There is a nurse or medical officer who would advise of the financial charges that are applicable which gave an estimation of the final charges and whether it is claimable via Medisave or Medishield.
The following is the breakdown of the charges involved, after subsidies.
- Day Surgery Facility Charge – $25.00
- Consumables – $102.22
- Laboratory Investigations – $75.60
- Surgical Procedure – $111.53
The estimated final bill is therefore $314.35. (GST absorbed by Singapore Government). It is
not claimable via my integrated Aviva MyShield plan's RIDER as it was a minor outpatient day surgery. This amount is 100% payable via Medisave which meant zero cents out of my pocket.
The actual appointment for the surgery was two weeks later. I showed up early on my appointment but it didn't make a difference. The waiting area was mostly empty and I was ushered in 15-minutes after my designated appointment time.
I was brought to another waiting area (the chairs were like those you have for blood donations) where all my particulars and details was double and triple-confirmed. You know, so that the right operation was done at the right place for the right person.
I had forgotten that I shouldn't wear my contact lens (even for day surgeries) and was given a free contact lens case to store my contact lens. So, I was pretty much "blind" from this point onwards.
After more waiting (can only hear the TV but couldn't see haha), I was directly to the washroom to change into my "gown". This first layer was pretty much like wearing a jacket backwards, so my back could be easily exposed. The second layer was like a kimono/bathrobe. Also, I was given slippers to change into, plus a bag to keep my valuables and sealed, only to be returned to me after surgery.
Then, more waiting. Finally, the surgeon (I think, since I can't even see the face clearly) came and checked my particulars again. Then, he marked out the location on my back for the incision. Then, more waiting, and I was finally brought into the operating theatre (OT).
It was cool, sort of like what you see in TV programs or movies. The OT was cold, but I was well taken care of with drapes and stuff so it was actually quite comfy. And music was playing. Oddly calm and soothing. There was probably 3 or 4 nursing staff in addition to the surgeon.
I have to add, the service was great. Every single thing they did was explained to me so I knew exactly what was happening. BP cuff and the index finger clip thing was set up.
The rest was just following instructions. Lie down, blah blah, local anesthesia – which was fun, because I get to hear their conversation. From time to time, a nursing staff would check on me to see if everything was OK. The main surgeon was probably less experienced and I could literally hear another surgeon guiding and advising him on what to do. Heck, it was only my back and I didn't really care about the scar. It would be a different story if I was a girl!
The actual procedure took probably 15 to 30 minutes. Once done, I was offered bread and Milo for a short period of monitoring just to make sure I'm OK and didn't faint or something. I got changed, wore my contact lens, retrieved my valuables, and was ready to go home!
There was no medication, and no payment to be made. I was presented again with the estimated bill which would be 100% paid from Medisave. Follow-up appointment in two weeks time. Meanwhile, there is no need to change the dressing once it began to come off. Sutures are "self-dissolving" so there is no need to remove them, either.
From start till end, it was a fairly positive experience considering that it was a simple procedure. There were pre-op and post-op calls as well for the customer service aspect.
The two months wait was a bit long for my liking, but thankfully mine was not a serious issue. I could imagine the anxiety for others if they have a medical condition that is more urgent and yet have to endure a long wait. I liked the transparency when it came to costs, and how they tried to simplify both the medical and financial aspects of what could be a scary event for the average Joe so that it was manageable.
Thanks to my CPF Money That Keeps Growing, this small sum of $300+ is extremely affordable.

Surface Treatment Type
Surface Treatment Type
Concepts And Applications Of The Process
Electroless Plating
A plating method that does not use electricity. The reduction agent that replaces the electricity is contained in the plating solution. With proper re-processing, virtually any material such as paper, fabrics, plastic and metals can be plated, and the distribution of the film thickness is more uniform, but slower than electroplating. This is different from chemical plating by substitution reaction.
A method of forming metallic coatings (plating films) on subject metal surfaces submerged in solutions containing ions by utilizing electrical reduction effects. Electoplating is employed in a wide variety of fields from micro components to large products in information equipment, automobiles, and home appliances for ornamental plating, anti-corrosive plating, and functional plating.
Anodic Oxidation Process
This is a surface treatment for light metals such as aluminum and titanium, and oxide films are formed by electrolysis of the products made into anodes in electrolytic solutions. Because the coating (anodizing film) is porous, dyeing and coloring are applied to be used as construction materials such as sashes, and vessels. There is low temperature treated hard coating also.
Chemical Process
(Chemical Coating)
The process creates thin films of sulfide and oxide films by chemical reactions such as post zinc plating chromate treatment, phosphate film coating (Parkerizing), black oxide treatments on iron and steels, and chromic acid coating on aluminum. It is used for metal coloring, corrosion protection, and priming of surfaces to be painted to improve paint adhesion.
Hot Dipping
Products are dipped in dissolved tin, lead, zinc, aluminum, and solder to form surface metallic films. It is also called Dobuzuke plating and Tempura plating. Familiar example is zinc plating on steel towers.
There are spray painting, electrostatic painting, electrodeposition painting, powder painting methods, and are generally used for surface decorations, anti-rusting and anti-corrosion. Recently, functional painting such as electro-conductive painting, non-adhesive painting, and lubricating painting are in active uses.
Vacuum Plating
Gasified or ionized metals, oxides, and nitrides in vacuum chambers are vapor deposited with this method. Methods are vacuum vapor deposition, sputtering, ion plating, ion nitriding, and ion implantation. Titanium nitride is of gold color.
Surface Hardening
This is a process of metal surface alteration, such as carburizing, nitriding, and induction hardening of steel. The processes improve anti-wear properties and fatigue strength by altering metal surface properties.
Thermal Spraying
Metals and ceramics (oxides, carbides, nitrides) powders are jetted into flames, arcs, plasma streams to be dissolved and be sprayed onto surfaces. Typically used as paint primer bases on larger structural objects, and ceramic thermal spraying for wear prevention.
Metallic Cementation
This is a method of forming surface alloy layers by covering the surfaces of heated metals and metal diffusion at the same time. There is a method of heating the pre-plated products, as well as heating the products in powdered form of metal to be coated.
