When it was discovered through datamining that Teldrassil, the World Tree containing Darnassus and much of Night Elf civilization, would be burned down leading into Battle For Azeroth, speculation ran rampant about who would be the culprit. Maybe Blizzard would take the less obvious route and Genn Greymane, or even King Anduin would have done it. Occam's razor would suggest that Sylvanas Windrunner, the increasingly-evil Warchief of the Horde, would be behind it, but surely Blizzard wouldn't base another expansion around a former hero-turned-genocidal maniac Horde Warchief corrupted by desire for power, right?
'Warbringers: Sylvanas' is a well made video, as anyone who saw the excellent Jaina episode would have imagined it'd be, but it's hard not to be let down by this direction the story is taking. Blizzard has stated that the Horde is "morally grey" in its alignment, and are not the out-and-out villains of the story. Morality is a point of view, essentially. However, razing the sacred World Tree containing the capital city of a generally peaceful race of people while an unrelated conflict rages on the opposite side of the continent is about as far from "morally grey" as you can get.
Sylvanas has long been a fan favorite character, so it's a hard pill to swallow that she's almost certainly going to go down the "corrupted former leader we must now defeat" route. Maybe Blizzard has some tricks up their sleeve, but this isn't a great start.

About a month ago, John Piper spoke at a conference for the American Association of Christian Counselors.

Is Grumbling That Big Of A Deal?
I've been doing a lot of reading through the Old Testament lately and I've been struck by a consistent theme that is present in both the Israelites and myself: grumbling. A lot of times grumbling doesn't seem like much of a sin at all. And if there were ever such a thing as "respectable sins,"
Why I'm Looking Forward to Hearing Paul Tripp This Weekend
This Friday night (7:00-8:30) and Saturday morning (9:00-12:00), Paul Tripp will be speaking at The Crossing on "War of Words" (a truly life-changing kind of book that has had a pretty big impact on my own faith and life). Along with Tim Keller and John Piper, Paul Tripp is one of those pastor/author/speakers that has
He Says It Better Than I Can
"From the perspective of a Christian, the refusal of an atheist to be a Christian is dismaying, but it is at least intelligible. But what is really disconcerting is the failure of atheists to be atheists. That is the thing that cries out for further exploration." So begins Douglas Wilson's short defense of Christian belief
"I'll Be Bummed for Christmas…You Can Plan on Me."
Some quick thoughts on the practical application of Matthew 25:34-40 as we all careen headlong into the craziness of the American holiday season. Thanksgiving, followed by the relentless insanity of the month-long run-up to Christmas, can be one of the most emotionally difficult and draining times of the year if, like millions of us, your
Being Generous Givers
The bible speaks often of being generous givers. For instance: Psalm 37:21 – "The wicked borrows but does not pay back, but the righteous is generous and gives…" Psalm 112:5 – "It is well with the man who deals generously and lends; who conducts his affairs with justice." Proverbs 19:17 – "Whoever is generous to
What Makes Us Happy?

The amount of information collected would be overwhelming. Just ask George Vaillant, he should know. Dr. Vaillant is concluding the longest running longitudinal study of human behavior
USA Today Writer Offended By Christians In Sports
Tom Krattenmaker would prefer Tim Tebow and other Christians involved in sports to keep their beliefs to themselves. Krattenmaker, a member of the USA Today Board of Contributors and author of the new book Onward Christian Athletes, writes in a recent USA Today opinion piece that although Christians "have a right to express their faith,"
Reordering Our Lives By the Reordering of Our Loves
A friend of mine sent me a link to a blog entry that I think is very helpful in providing a memorable kind of terminology for Christian growth: the reordering of our lives by the reordering of our loves. The blog was actually adapted from David Naugle's book, Reordered Love, Reordered Lives: Learning the Deep
Wrestling with "Doubt"
Last Friday, we featured the movie Doubt as the latest installment in our Talking Pictures series.

I wanted to make an ambient backlight project for my monitor with programmable LED strips, but I've ran into a really irritating problem:Just got to realise that this 'weird' and 'irritating' problem is caused by yourself. The issue doesn't appear to be due to any of the hardware modules you have. It's just something or some things that you haven't done properly - that's the likely issue. Probably better to just say that you're trying to do some fault-finding for your project.
First of all, thanks for the tips!Was that wire a 5V wire you soldered to Vraw?
I didn't really find the problem, it wasnt the solder connection, capacitor or data line resistor, however:
When I plug the arduino in with my mini USB cable it everything works just fine, but with the direct USB wire I soldered on RAW Pin, Ground PIN and USB Data wires directly to the ATmega it doenst work like I showed.
I still dont know what caused my problem but, I just use it with the mini USB now.
If so you need at least 7V on Vraw as it is the input to the 5V linear regulator.cashilysh said:
Yes USB 5V to RAW, I didnt think about it beeing the cause, because the microcontroller was powered and could be programmed.You have your answer.

An Outline Of The Takes Advantage Of Of Metal Fabrication And Exactly How To Choose An Excellent Metal Fabricator
The process of bending, cutting and shaping metal alloy for that generation of items is called structural steel fabrication. A lot of pieces of metallic are utilized and are attached jointly to ensure a predefined form and measurement are fashioned. Fabricated steel is used for a number of diverse reasons from vehicle parts to home appliances considering the fact that metal is often constructed very effortlessly. Usually, sheet steel or structural metal is employed for the duration of this process. You could not be informed about https://generalsteel.com.au/ ; these steel buildings can be used by just about anything.
The incredible results that steel fabrication has on everyday lives could be noticed during the kind of buildings including hearth escapes or skyscrapers. Almost every setting up has a skeletal frame, and this system is utilized to fabricate the steel that may be utilized to build that body. This process is especially important in terms of steel framing for more substantial buildings for the reason that excess weight of enormous properties ought to be supported over a durable steel body.
Aside from building jobs, it truly is utilized for a variety of other needs.
As pointed out earlier, almost all of the kitchen appliances are made of metal due to the fact this metal takes place to generally be proof against rusting, is really a very good heat conductor and will face up to superior temperatures. This can be the clear reason that cooking utensils and in some cases kitchen tools; trolleys, and many others. are created of fabricated metal. Fabricated steel is usually not influenced by day by day washing as well as utilization of water, that is one more reason guiding its use throughout the design of kitchen area appliances.
Decoration items are used in each households and offices. Fabricated steel has grown to be an essential portion of decoration. Metal is glossy, shiny, and it might be fabricated into any form or sizing, that makes it perfect for decoration applications. The use of this know-how has grown to be very well known while in the development of steel furniture.
These days, fabricated steel is likewise utilized to make balconies, staircase railings and home windows likewise. Even casings, cabinets and many other objects may also be product of fabricated metal.
According to the dimension of the venture in which fabricated metal is necessary, it can change into fairly simple for you personally to find a metal fabrication organization in the event you know what to search for.
one. To begin with, in advance of searching to get a steel fabricator decide how major your challenge is. Sometimes, a single fabricator may well not be sufficient; the truth is, you could even need a whole group of metal fabricators based on the measurement of your respective challenge.
two. As soon as you start searching for a metal fabrication organization always discover how outdated the corporation is and exactly how expert they can be from the field. The longer a business has long been all around the earlier it's going to entire your undertaking and have it out adequately.
three. Always make sure the steel fabricator you're deciding upon is respected. Should the firm is actually highly regarded, they are going to not thoughts giving proof in their reputability. They will even give you references to clientele they've got served from the earlier.

Jason laughed when he saw this was the map for the hike I planned for us to go on over the weekend.
We'd been hearing from people that there was a hike from the mountain village of Godinez down to the edge of the water in Santa Catarina, but couldn't find any really specific directions for how to find the trail head. Our landlord lives in Godinez, so I asked him about it. He said the trail was easy to find and actually would take us to San Antonio which is the lakeside village just beyond Santa Catarina. He drew this map for us and gave me a few instructions.
Sunday morning, we hopped into a micro-shuttle van for the steep & windy, 8-mile ride to Godinez. Luckily, we found room inside the van, unlike some passengers who simply stood on the bumper, clinging to the roof rack.
From Godinez, we wandered down the road a short ways until we came to this pedestrian/tuk-tuk path that wound through a small village. These boys in rain boots and cowboy hats were adorable!
Some interesting things along the way --
- a rather major water line supported by sticks
- thistles grow some of the prettiest flowers
- beetle with a very cool exoskeleton
The village of San Antonio --
Coming through the onion terraces into San Antonio.
All-in-all, a very successful and easy day-hike. Especially since we started at the top and just went down :) There were orange, spray-painted arrows along the trail nearly the whole way, so we didn't ever get lost. Once in San Antonio, the path ended just behind the church which made it easy to hop into the back of one of the pick-up shuttles and enjoy the gorgeous, lakeview drive back to Pana. Total cost for transportation for both of us was 22 Q, less than $3.00. Right on our budget :)

Isobel Snellenberger and Adam Kline, Preparing to Observe TESS Exoplanet Candidates: The purpose of this project was to prepare the equipment at the Feder Observatory at the Minnesota State University Moorhead Regional Science Center to be able to observe exoplanet candidates identified by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). To calibrate our camera to be able to observe exoplanets, there are a few steps that were taken. We characterized the camera by flat fielding, measuring linearity and measuring gain and read noise. We observed a Kelt-16b exoplanet transit, which is similar to those in TESS mission is observing. We developed various Python programs which we used to analyze the images of Kelt-16b taken at the observatory.

Ex-security staff in Ireland picket state office over jobs
By Cormac MCQuinn
Eight security workers who lost their jobs at the Chief State Solicitor's Office have held a protest outside its Dublin premises. The SIPTU members lost their jobs when the contract to provide security at the CSSO, which was held by a private firm, ended last week.
Now they are protesting over claims that the company that won the new contract, Top Security, didn't follow "industry norms" and keep them on as security guards at the office.
The eight staff were working at the CSSO for several years, having been kept on by another company, Manguard Plus, when it won the previous contract five years ago.Top Security won the new contract and took over from Manguard Plus yesterday, installing new security guards in the offices."This is an unacceptable situation where security officers who have given loyal and professional service keeping the Chief State Solicitor's Offices and its staff safe find themselves being displaced by others," said SIPTU organiser Peadar Nolan.Top Security did not respond to requests for comment.

2. 'Buy now, pay later' startup Afterpay and payments tech provider Touchcorp have agreed to merge. The new ASX-listed company, to be called NewCo, combines two entities that have a total market capitalisation of more than $350 million. Read more on the blockbuster deal.
3. A government agency nabbed Cate Blanchett as the voice of its new digital assistant. The National Disability Insurance Scheme has launched a virtual assistant named Nadia, which features the voice of the Oscar award-winning actress and an expressive avatar designed to aid communication to customers of varied disabilities. Read more on the very personal reasons that made the Hollywood star get involved.
4. A Sydney startup that somehow managed to convince Uber to partner with it has secured $3 million in funding. Startup Smart reports Splend, a service that hires out cars to people that want to drive for Uber, has attracted Investec as an equity partner. The money will be used to ramp up the current fleet of 1,300 to 4,000 in Australia, as well as take on overseas Uber markets.

The new track plan has a revised layout for the Burgh Island section. The island is now slightly smaller, but is now surrounded by water. This should make it easier to create the illusion that the island is floating in the sea.
The track layout from St Mary Mead to Burgh Island now has a gentle curve to it, in an attempt to get rid of the train set look of the straight lines.
Follow my blog at murderonthetracks.co.uk
Choosing a type of track for this layout has been a bit of a challenge, but it looks like there might be a new solution!
Ive always planned to use 2mm scale track components from the 2mm Scale Association. The track has a much finer and realistic look than standard off-the-shelf track, even the finescale variants. However, because of the track radiuses required to fit the layout in to the space available, the track cannot be built to the full 2mm Scale Association Standards. The compromise is that I would have to use the 2mm scale components but build the track to the N Gauge Standards, which give me the tighter curves required.
However, compromising means that there are some sacrifices that need to be made
The 2mm Scale Association produces a solution for building track called Easitrac, which utilises moulded plastic sleepers. These sleepers are moulded complete with chairs that the hold the rails in place (just like the real thing!).
I think that visually, this method produces the best looking track at this scale. There is a slight problem however
In the 2mm Scale Standards, and therefore with Easitrac, the track gauge (or the distance between the rails) is 9.42 millimetres. When building to N Gauge Standards, this doesnt present much of a problem. The track gauge for N Gauge is 9 millimetres, a difference of less than half a millimetre. The problem becomes more noticeable when it comes to constructing points.
The points need to be built to the N Gauge Standards to ensure that N Gauge Sized wheels can pass through cleanly. When you add the extra rails and detail required to construct a point, the .42 of a millimetre does become noticeable and the track doesnt look quite right.
Because of this I decided to switch to the old school method of soldering rail to sleepers cut from circuit board material. The circuit board material is clad in a thin layer of copper which you can solder the rails to. This means that the track and point work can be constructed with the N Gauge rail spacing of 9mm. With a great deal of practice you can actually achieve some great looking track with this method, but it does take a lot more skill with a soldering iron.
There are other drawbacks to this method. The circuit board material used to create the sleepers is becoming rarer to find. Circuit boards are now generally made from glass-reinforced plastic laminate sheets, rather than from synthetic resin bonded paper sheets, which cannot be as easily cut down to the tiny sizes needed for modelling purposes. Also to create track which resembles real-life track several components are required to be soldered together, which adds more time to the process as well as expense.
Again, this method isnt ideal. As this is a long-term project it seems a bit foolish to start using a method when the supplies are dwindling and might not be as readily available in the future.
There is another option, which has only just emerged. A new method of track building has been released this month! It is from a company called British Finescale and is called fiNetrax.
In case you havent already guessed, the big capital N stands for N Gauge. This method of track building is based on the Easitrac method of using moulded plastic sleepers, but the system is designed with the N Gauge Standard gauge of 9 millimetres.
This system looks like it could be the answer to my problems. The track should visually be the same quality of Easitrack, solving the problem with the look of the points. Its actually a system that I can use to build the track I am looking for, with no compromises necessary.
The system is not entirely without issues. It is very early days, like I mentioned earlier the company has only started selling the product in the last few weeks. There is also a very limited range of products at the moment, but Im sure these gaps will be filled in time. There seems to be a market for other modellers who wish to build in N Gauge, but with a much finer quality of track.
Im excited to see how the product range develops, and as the system is very closely based on Easitrac Im hoping that some of the 2mm Scale Association parts will be compatible without too much adaptation required.
Im planning to build a test section, but it looks like this brand new system of track building will become the method of choice for Murder on the Tracks. It certainly seems to fit in with what seems to be a reoccurring theme of using the latest technologies to build this layout!

The day has finally come, and the laser cut baseboard has arrived. After starting work on the layout it soon became clear that to get the finish I wanted, that laser cutting would be an ideal solution. Not only does it create a precise fit and finish, but the layout of the railway (as well as marking the numerous Agatha Christie locations) could be etched into the surface of the wood.
The cut wood arrives from the suppliers with masking tape holding all the parts together. For the most part the laser had cut cleanly through the wood, although there were a two or three small sections where the wood hadnt quite cut all the way though. This problem is easily remedied with a sharp scalpel, or razor saw.
The quality of the laser cutting is excellent. Other methods of cutting shapes from wood have some disadvantages. CNC routing, for example, uses a computer guided spinning cutting tool. Because of this cutting tool, even if you make it as small as possible (and therefore the cutting slower), you cannot cut square internal corners. You will always be left with the round shape of the cutting tool. A laser, on the other hand, is very thin and is able to cut these sharp corners.
Laser cutting works by melting, burning or vaporising the material. The dark edges you can see on the pictures is where the laser has burnt through the wood. Compressed air is used during cutting to reduce flaming or scorching on the surface, although some slight discolouration will be visible on the cutting side. On the reverse side protective tape is used to prevent burn marks caused when the laser meets the cutting bed.
The laser cutting process is intricate enough to cut out the tiny holes required to pass through the cables for the track wiring (complete with labels!)
All the pieces fitted perfectly, thanks to the small test model I made to check the design for errors. Using my favourite glue (Gorilla Glue) the whole baseboard was joined together and left clamped up whilst the glue set.
The completed baseboard is actually very strong. The strengtheners in the four corners hold everything solidly square. Unfortunately it is possible to twist the board a little, but this is easily resolved by adding some additional cross pieces. To fix this board I will cut them in a more traditional fashion by hand! However, when constructing the other baseboards I will be able to add these extra pieces into the design and get them laser cut with the rest of the board.
My intention is to get most of the main modelling work, such as the track laying and basic landscaping, complete on this board before getting the next baseboard cut.

In the last post I talked about changing the way the baseboards would be constructed. Now they would be completely laser cut.
The major advantage of creating something laser cut is the precision. Using AutoCad, the various sections can be designed in flatpack form. Because all the pieces are precisely cut you dont have to rely on your own carpentry skills to make sure that everything is square and aligned. You can build that all into the design. This all should result in a strong, crisp, professional finish.
The added bonus of laser cutting is that you can also have the track plan etched into the surface of the wood, making track laying super easy!
My plan has always been to get the outside edges of the hills laser cut, and then stick them to the baseboard. I was going to follow the same plan designing a standard looking baseboard to be laser cut, then sticking the hill edging on separately.
However, an idea suddenly occurred to me Instead of getting these parts cut separately, why not get the sides of the baseboard and the outsides of the hills cut in one piece? This would not only add strength to the whole baseboard, but to the hills as well. Once again, this would all go towards creating the sleek, professional finish I am looking for.
So I adapted my original baseboard design to include the hills along the sides.
You can see the drawing is tightly packed. This is so that the least amount of wood is wasted during laser cutting. Handily the design fits nicely into 1200 x 710mm which is one of the standard size sheets that my laser cutter supplies.
Some of it is a little hard to make out but if you look along the bottom you can see one side of the baseboard, with a hill profile at each end. Another feature of note is in the bottom right-hand corner. These curved pieces are designed to slot in the bottom corners of the baseboard to keep it square. Designing these kind of pieces means that you can use the precision of the laser cutting to ensure everything is square when assembled.
When cut the baseboard should be relatively simple to slot together, rather like a piece of flatpack furniture. This, however, relies on the design being correct so that everything lines up properly! To make sure I got the design right I printed of a scale drawing so I could cut the design out of Plasticard and make a quick little model. Yes, a model of a model railway!
Luckily everything seemed to line up correctly, so the drawing has been sent off to the laser cutters and is being cut as I write this!

Theres been a slight change in how the baseboards are going to be constructed!
It became quickly evident that using a full size paper plan glued to the baseboard as a template wasnt an ideal solution. Unfortunately the paper just wasnt robust enough at the edges. Although the glue used to hold the paper down was easily strong enough, the paper itself wasnt. The layers of the paper actually started to come apart.
If this was happening now, with just the sleepers glued down, would this problem become worse once more scenery is glued to it?
The extruded aluminium also was starting to present problems of its own. Interconnections are required to pass power and data between the boards. While it is easy to drill holes into the extrusion to add the required plug sockets, they could only realistically be flush mounted on the outside faces (rather spoiling the aesthetics of the layout).
These problems can be worked around, but I didnt want to compromise the look of the layout at this early stage. I really want the layout to have a sleek, crisp and professional finish. I also wasnt quite ready to let go of the idea of using the latest technology to create the baseboards
Ive already been looking at laser cutting for various parts of the layout already. The contoured edges of the hills that run along the sides of the baseboard are a good example once again the aim being to create a sleek and crisp finish. Also the turntable in the Paddington section would be created by laser cutting to achieve the precision needed.
It didnt seem such a massive leap to use laser cutting to create the whole baseboard
Laser cutting comes with other advantages too. The precise nature of laser cutting could give the same sort of alignment that the aluminium extrusion was providing. The boards could be joined by interlocking sections that when glued together would provide added strength. A different solution for the electrical connections could be designed. Finally, instead of the plan being printed out and glued to the surface, the whole thing could be laser etched into the surface of the wood(!) If that all wasnt enough, the quote I got back from the laser cutters (a South London company that do all kinds of inventive things, including laser cutting into food!) was less than my old method of wooden tops attached to an aluminium frame.
I was sold!
The sides will have pre-cut hole for aligning the boards and for the power and data sockets. Instead of flush mounted sockets they will housed in a recess along with room for a little excess cable. This will allow the baseboards to butt up flush against each other, hiding the connections from view.

The track for the layout will be built with 2mm Finescale components, but to N Gauge Standards. This will hopefully give the best of both worlds.
2mm Scale track has a much more attractive appearance, but the larger radius of the 2mm Standards mean that it wouldnt be possible to create a full loop layout in the space available. Building to N Gauge Standards is a compromise which allows the tighter curves that are require to build the layout.
Using the full scale template now glued to the baseboard, the sleepers can be glued down quickly and accurately.
PVA Gorilla glue has been used because it is both very strong, and waterproof. Later on I will be using scenic treatments that will use water, and I dont want the sleepers to loosen and lift off.
The only slight disadvantage is that the PVA Gorilla glue dries to a natural colour which is not completely clear, like other PVAs. There will be times when I will need to use PVA that dries clear, but for most other jobs the benefits outweigh the disadvantages of this excellent, but slightly off-colour, glue.
The sleepers are from the 2mm Scale Association and are made from the same material as electrical printed circuit boards (PCBs). The reason for using this material is that one side has a thin sheet of copper laminated to it. Using these type of sleepers means that the rails can be soldered securely to them. The sleepers have a small isolating gap in the centre to ensure that there wont be a short circuit between the two rails.
The next step will be drilling the holes in the baseboard for the track wiring to pass through, and then soldering the rails to the sleepers.

There are six baseboards which make up the whole layout. Im going to choose the easiest to begin with! The baseboard which mainly contains the St Mary Mead section doesnt have any points, making the track work and wiring a lot simpler. This is a great bonus considering Ive never made my own track before! I will be building track using The 2mm Scale Society components, but to the 9mm gauge and the standards of the N Gauge Society.
The absence of point work on this section of the board also means there is plenty of room to place the Command Station (the brains of the DCC system) and the Wi-Fi router so I can wirelessly control the layout with my iPhone.
Ive chosen MDF tops for the baseboards, which I got cut to size by the supplier. These will bolt directly to the Aluminium Extruded frame to create a strong but light baseboard.
Because the layout has been designed entirely in AutoCAD, I have printed the whole thing out to real-life size. This means that I can place everything accurately on the baseboard as it appears on the design. Not just the track but also the sleepers, roads and all the buildings
Having a full size plan also helps with the electrics as well. All the holes where the wiring will pass through the boards to connect to the rails have been marked. I have done this not just on the top, but on the bottom as well. When the holes are drilled everything will be already labeled on the underside making wiring a breeze you need to make sure you correctly flip the printing for the underside to match the top. The wiring for St Mary Mead is very basic, but for the more complex sections of the layout this is going make things a lot easier.

I commented in one of my previous posts that even though this is a layout set in the last century, it is being built in this century and I want to use 21st century technologies to build it. This is why I want to move away from the traditional all-wood construction when making the baseboards.
Instead, aluminium extrusions will make up the frame which will then support the plywood top. Hopefully this combination of aluminium and plywood will result in a very strong but light baseboard.
Aluminium extrusion has another advantage. It has grooved channels in which you can fit a specially shaped nut at any position along its length. Because the aluminium extrusion is precision engineered it means that the baseboards will align very easily and precisely with each other (there is a special fixing designed to join lengths of extrusion). It also means that the layout will be easily extendable.
A whole host of things are available to bolt on the sides. Legs and carrying handles are two good examples that might come in handy! Say I wanted to display the layout at an exhibition? A lighting system could be constructed and bolted to the existing layout with no adjustments needed to the baseboards. All changes are reversible as these items can be removed without a trace!
Additional baseboards could easily be added to extend the layout at a later date, although theres plenty to be getting on with before even thinking about that!

When planning a new layout, unless its tiny in size, there doesnt seem to be much of an argument to go with anything other than DCC control. To start with the basic wiring is a lot simpler you dont need to create lots of isolating sections to control locomotives individually.
I say the basic wiring is a lot simpler because wiring for DCC can become incredibly complicated if you want it to be! Here lies the magic of DCC it is easily but also massively expandable. Just want to run a couple of trains manually? Not a problem. Want to run a fully automated layout where you dont need to do anything except press start? Easy! And DCC is capable of everything in between However, if you dont start using DCC from the outset upgrading later isnt always an easy process.
If you look at the planned layout drawing you might have noticed there is no provision for a control panel. This is because the control panel will be off-layout. In fact, it will be entirely virtual!
The layout has been designed to be viewed (and operated) from a full 360 degrees so there isnt any sensible place to put a built in control panel. For this reason the layout will be controlled with the Z21 controller from Roco/Fleishmann. This system enables you to use a mobile device such as a iPhone or iPad as the controller and, because almost everyone has at least one of those devices these days, they can also download the free app and join in at any time. The Z21 can also interface with a PC for fully automated control provided you have the correct software installed.
Because there is no built in control panel it will mean that all the points on the layout will need to be controlled electronically. This will then enable the entire layout to be controlled from an iPhone.
The thought of an entirely virtual control panel may horrify certain modellers who have become attached to their buttons, levers and switches! But, even though this is a layout set in the last century I intend to use the latest developments from the 21st century to control it!

Burgh Island Hotel is closely linked to the crime novelist Agatha Christie, as it inspired the settings for both And Then There Were None and the Hercule Poirot mystery Evil Under the Sun. The ITV adaptation of Evil Under The Sun used the island as a filming location.
This area of the layout will definitely be a challenge. An island section surrounded by the sea is going to be difficult to fit into a layout which is essentially a loop that needs to flow seamlessly from London to the countryside and back again.
The Burgh Island Hotel, the Pilchard Inn, the unique sea tractor and the island itself all will need to be modelled.

STARTING XIs: Cantwell gets another chance as 5,300 City fans descend on Wigan
PUBLISHED: 11:13 14 April 2019 | UPDATED: 11:51 14 April 2019
Paul Chesterton
Daniel Farke has kept faith with youngster Todd Cantwell for today's game at Wigan Athletic, in the continued absence of the suspended Emi Buendia for the league leaders.
Cantwell made his first start since mid-January in midweek, playing the opening 70 minutes of a 2-2 home draw with Reading.
The Canaries go into the game looking to bounce back from being denied a ninth successive win when conceding an equaliser deep into injury-time on Wednesday by the Royals.
With Leeds beating Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 at Elland Road last night their lead at the Championship summit has been cut to three points but Millwall drawing 1-1 at Sheffield United has kept the third placed Blades six points behind.
That result leaves Daniel Farke's team knowing that seven points from their final five matches will secure automatic promotion, with a win today to open up a nine-point gap to third.
MORE: Farke hails 'amazing' fans as biggest league following for 15 years heads to Wigan
City have brought 5,300 fans with them to the north-west, the club's biggest away league following in 15 years and the biggest Wigan have had this season, exceeding the 4,856 that title rivals Leeds took to the DW Stadium in November.
The Latics sit just a point clear of the relegation zone after conceding a late goal to lose 2-1 at Hull on Wednesday and seeing Rotherham draw 2-2 at Stoke yesterday to cut the gap.
Paul Cook has made four changes to his team, with former Norwich favourite Anthony Pilkington missing out through injury.
Lee Evans, Gavin Massey, Kal Naismith and Leon Clarke come in for Darron Gibson, Nick Powell, Josh Windass and former Ipswich striker Joe Garner, who all drop to the bench.
Norwich (4-2-3-1): Krul; Aarons, Zimmermann (C), Godfrey, Lewis; Trybull, McLean; Cantwell, Stiepermann, Hernandez; Pukki. Subs: McGovern (GK), Hanley, Klose, Leitner, Vrancic, Srbeny, Rhodes
Wigan (3-5-2): Walton; James, Dunkley, Fox; Byrne, Evans, Morsy (C), Naismith, Robinson; Massey, Clarke. Subs: Evans (GK), Kipre, Olsson, Gibson, Powell, Garner, Windass

Solo Travel Part 11 - Ipoh
>> Monday, December 13, 2010
If I were to really blog about my Ipoh trip in detail, I think I will need more than 3 posts! Just to save some time, here are some good food places that you should try out while you're in this lovely town :)
1. Funny Mountain's Tau Fu Fah
Address: Jalan Theatre
Business hour: 10:00a.m. - sold out
Tel: (+6016) 595 0369, (+605) 546 9968
One of the best, if not the best tau fu fah I've ever had in my entire life! Indulge into a gingery-taste syrup with smooth tau fu fah for just RM0.70/bowl :P You may just have to line up (either in a human-line or in your car) for your bowl of dessert, but it's sure worth the wait ;)
2. Hong Kee Mah Chee (Peanut Gruel/"Fa Sang Wu" & "Mah Chee")
Address: 550A, Jalan Queen, Pasir Pinji, 31050 IpohGPS: N04 34.392' E101 5.246'
Tel: (+6012) 3828 651
Business hour: 1.30pm-6.00pm
Price: RM2.00/plate of mah chee, RM2.00/bowl of peanut gruel
Try not to miss out sinking your teeth into the famous peanut mah chee at Pasir Pinji while you're at Ipoh. The "mah chee" is chewy, not too soft 'til it sticks onto your teeth, & not too chewy 'til you find it tough to swallow. It's my 1st time having such lovely mah chee (unlike the ones I get from pasar malams/night markets). The grounded peanut + sugar that goes with the mah chee is also fine & not over-powering with sugar, which was excellent!
The peanut gruel/"fa sang wu" is also smooth, slightly salty, & pleasantly sweet! Oh, so delicious...I could have bowls of it!!
Not too far from Hong Kee Mah Chee's stall stand the crispy "siew yoke"/roast pork stall & the deep-fried cempedak+sweet potatoes+"nin kou" stall. You can get pretty delicious tea break goodies here!
Siew Yoke Pasir Pinji
Fried Cempedak Pasir Pinji
3. "Dai-Sai Kiok"/Big-Small Feet @ Kum Kee
Address: 798-799, Jalan Sekolah, 31650 Ipoh, Perak.
Business hour: 6:00p.m. - about 2:00-3:00a.m.
Note: It's located directly opposite the Pasir Pinji police station & isn't too far from the wet market.
If you're a fan of pig's trotter or even braised chicken feet, you wouldn't want to miss stopping by at Kum Kee, Pasir Pinji. This humble coffeeshop sure has much delightful 'delicacies' to offer! Apart from their "big-small feet", they also serve steamed chicken/"pak cham kai" & yong tau foo, alongside the unforgettable kuey teow soup! The soup's base is soya beans, which makes the soup very sweet & yummy :) I didn't have the kuey teow soup as I prefer my noodles to be dry with dark sauce. Don't forget to end your meal with a delicious bowl of tau fu fah as well! (of course Funny Mountain's still the king of tau fu fah...hehe, but this isn't too bad either)
4. Pak Kong Chicken Rice
Address: Jalan Theatre
Fluffy & fragrant "oily" rice served with roast/steamed chicken...it's so good, you'll have to line up for your dose of Ipoh's famous chicken rice! You'll also find some of the most famous food items around the area e.g. Funny Mountain's Tau Fu Fah, Aun Kheng Lim's Salt-Baked Chicken, & Sin Eng Heong's Kaya Puff...just to name a few.
5. Chang Keong Dim Sum
Address: 34, Jalan Raja Ekram (Cowan Street), 30450 Ipoh.
Tel: (+6012) 467 7841 - Chang Keong/ (+6016) 541 5877 - Sakura NgBusiness hour: 5:30a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
In my personal opinion, the dim sum here is much better than Foh San's. The last time I had my breakfast at Foh San, I was quite disappointed. Not only do I have to wait for a long time for a place to sit, I also need to wait for the food to come by *sigh* The only down-side at Chang Keong is the lacking of air-conditioner. Apart from that, the dim sum here is good! The fish ball/paste is recommended, plus their variety of dim sum is also quite commendable :) It doesn't have as many "fancy dim sum" like Foh San, but it's good enough for a satisfying meal of Chinese dim sum for the PerutBesi!
I had so many other good food, thanks to my top-notch host, Yi Pa! Here are some other places for good food:
- Makanan Laut Delight: N04 35.984' E101 4.930'
- Yik Sun's Hakka Mee: N04 35.803' E101 4.687'
- Ipoh's Famous Pomelo: N04 35.209' E101 8.074'
- Toong Keng's Toast: N04 34.646' E101 7.404'
- Ipoh Yee Lok's Pan Mee: N04 34.673' E101 7.365'

According to a LogicMonitor survey done in 2018, just over 70% of all businesses use one or more cloud-based applications or systems for their day to day tasks. They expect to see major growth in this regard and predict that by 2020, 83% of business functions will be cloud-based.
The first step in the direction of cloud-based systems or applications is typically email and storage. Many are familiar with the likes of Google Drive and Dropbox. People have become accustomed to having access to their data from various devices. Added features include advanced security as well as redundancy to prevent data loss in case of downtime due to unforeseen circumstances.
When it comes to migrating business systems, the process is a little more complex and business owners must consider a number of different criteria. Performance, security and administrative requirements all need consideration but in the end, you need to prioritise them based on your business needs. Follow these steps to get started.
Review Your IT Expenses
To own equipment, you'll need to invest money as well as think about maintenance costs. Do a thorough assessment of your IT spending to find out where your money is going. A full-time on-site IT technician will cost you more than migrating resources to the cloud.
Consider Likely Cloud Components
Base your cloud management solution on the inventory you need to manage, both physical and virtual. You can do this by making a list of each component you access regularly, and then decide which ones would be best to migrate to the cloud.
Make Your Policies Cloud-Based
When you store data on-site only, access to it is controlled by a simple lock and key. In the cloud, you can access it from anywhere. Consider the policies you'll need to implement including items concerning access, sessions, files and anything else that might improve user experience and security. Cloud-based policies can help you detect suspicious behaviours and activities as well as user violations.
Final Adjustments
It's to be expected that performance is slower right after your transition to the cloud. To help with the transition we advise you to hire an experienced data migration provider like Netgen. Keep your employees in the loop and set realistic expectations.
Netgen is an authorized Acronis Service Provider in South Africa that can make your transition to the cloud as painless as possible. For more information or to start your journey to the cloud get in touch with Netgen today!

Katie Price to marry again
Katie Price is reportedly engaged to on-off boyfriend Kris Boyson. It will be Katie's fourth marriage, with the reported engagement coming as she continues to finalise her messy divorce from Kieran Hayler
Singer Katie Price is reportedly engaged to on-off boyfriend Kris Boyson. According to a source, the two are keen to keep the engagement out of the public eye until it is documented in a forthcoming episode of reality show "My Crazy Life", reports dailymail.co.uk. "All these denials and protesting about how much she loves being single aren't quite true," a source told New!
"Yet again Katie is keeping everyone guessing. The fact is that there's an engagement on the cards." It's understood the two opted to take their relationship to the next level during a romantic trip to Glasgow in November. However sources claim it was former glamour model Katie, 40, who proposed to the 30-year old personal trainer - with the moment serving as a dramatic cliffhanger on next week's episode of her fly-on-the-wall reality show.
It will be Katie's fourth marriage, with the reported engagement coming as she continues to finalise her messy divorce from Kieran Hayler. The mother of five ended their-five year marriage in May after Kieran- a self-confessed sex addict- confessed to numerous affairs with different women, including two of her closest friends' and their children's former nanny.
Katie's first marriage to Australian singer Peter Andre with whom she shares children Junior, 13, and 11-year old Princess - came to end after four-years in 2009. Her second, to cage fighter Alex Reid, took place at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas, with a formal wedding following soon after in 2010. The couple separated little more than a year later.
Katie went in to marry former male stripper Kieran at the Sandals Royal Bahamian Resort and Spa in the Bahamas after accepting his proposal on Christmas Day the previous year. The couple share children Jett, five, and four-year old Bunny. Katie also raises oldest child Harvey, 16, from a previous relationship with retired footballer Dwight Yorke.

We leverage the dynamism and super flexibility of React.JS for creating interactive UI for large scale enterprise applications. We offer stable, business centric ReactJS solutions that handles data updates and synchronizes without page reloading. Our solutions are primarily targetted at providing speed, simplicity and scalability to the web applications. We extensively use the various building blocks in open source JavaScript framework of ReactJS to build various types of dynamic and iterative user interfaces.
Mongo DB
MongoDB is document based NoSQL database that ensures high performance, availability, and scalability. Being a new player compared traditional relational databases, MongoDB has captured a good market in database landscape mainly due to the ability to cater to unstructured data and seamless integration capability with programming languages via JSON documents. Combination of features from relational and nonrelational databases like secondary indexes, dynamic queries, sorting, rich updates, upserts MongoDB able to handle a huge volume of data with high speed.
Node Js
Node.JS is used in the server side and is built on the Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript runtime which helps in building concurrent, scalable and optimised applications. It uses a non-blocking, event-driven I/O model which is lightweight, enabling it to handle a large number of concurrent transactions efficiently. It is very ideal to use when we need to do multiple tasks asynchronously with high performance. We have developed efficient Node JS based applications with less than 30ms latency.
React Native Development
With React Native we can develop Android and IOS native apps using Javascript. React Native helps us to develop cross-platform apps in shorter duration. One of the main advantages of React native over other hybrid Mobile App development platforms is reacted native creates the components in native platforms and is able to provide the closer performance of native apps. React native reduces the overall development time considerably.
Couchbase Development
Couchbase database is a niche growing player in NoSQL document-based database in direct completion with MongoDB. At Gizmeon, we use Couchbase in certain Mobile and IOT projects leveraging some of its unique features like built-in real-time data synchronization, embedded database, and built-in full-text search. Another important capability Couchbase offers is flexibility in accessing documents and capability to process nested documents.

Llanelli Scarlets continued their Celtic League revival with a comfortable if unconvincing bonus point victory over struggling Borders at Stradey Park.
The defending champions ran in six tries, Tongan wing Aisea Havili claiming two to add to his two against Glasgow in the Heineken Cup last weekend.
After a dismal start to the campaign the Scarlets have now won five of their last six matches, while the Scots remain rooted to the basement with just one victory to date.
The Scarlets raced into a 10-0 lead in nearly as many minutes with all the points from fly-half Gareth Bowen.
After putting his side in front with a third-minute penalty, Bowen danced over from short range for a try he also converted.
Borders managed a Charlie Hore penalty, but minutes later conceded a further score thanks to the vision of Bowen.
He delivered an inch-perfect cross-field kick for Havili to pick up and race to the line unopposed.
Better followed for the Scarlets with Wales back-rower Dafydd Jones charging over following a slick break from impressive centre Matthew Watkins.
The Borders hit back straight after the break when Scotland wing Simon Danielli crossed in the corner, but the respite was short-lived.
Another Watkins break this time set-up right wing Tal Selley for the bonus point try and, although Borders struck back with a close-range effort from wing Nikki Walker, it was virtual one-way traffic after that.
Watkins danced past a string of defenders for a solo score on 58 minutes before replacement scrum-half Dwayne Peel put Havili away for his second.
The Borders never folded and claimed a third try through Colin Stewart, but it only offered the Scots brief hope.

Cracking the Customer Engagement Code for the Next Era of the Smart Grid
- Jan 5, 2015 12:00 pm GMTJun 4, 2015 10:57 pm GMT
- 2576 views
Engaged customers represent the Promised Land for utilities facing a myriad of business and regulatory pressures. They enable more effective demand-response and efficiency programs, which achieve regulatory goals.
Today, utilities are still struggling to crack the code for effective customer engagement. The good news is that utilities have already deployed more than 150 million smart meters around the world. So, the hardware is already in place, laying the critical groundwork for energy-customer engagement. Smart meters deliver the core operations, including data collection, advanced meter reading and streamlined customer billing that have already led to significant improvement for customers. For example, Itron's OpenWay smart grid network has helped utilities dramatically cut costs and reduced outage dispatch times, increasing operational efficiency.
The next era will involve combining smart meters with software designed to help utilities go beyond basic functionality to provide better services that engage customers and more easily achieve energy efficiency goals.
Building on the smart meter network
Utility-controlled home energy management systems developed by CEIVA Energy build on Itron's smart grid network to help utilities activate their infrastructure investment and engage with customers in new ways. While Itron provides the backend infrastructure, CEIVA brings a deep background in engaging people on a personal level.
CEIVA's Entryway solution works with Itron's smart grid solution to give utilities management software for residential demand response, remote meter and device provisioning, and data analytics. This helps utilities segment customers based on load profiles and usage patterns and deliver programs that are relevant to them. For example, utilities can bring a pool-specific program only to residents who have pools, avoiding wasted time and money from irrelevant programs.
CEIVA's customer engagement ecosystem is completed with CEIVA Homeview. CEIVA Homeview pulls instant data from Itron's meter, historical data from the Itron network, enables load control and delivers AMI messages. The platform provides customers with instant and historical views of their home's energy, gas and water usage on their mobile device, a utility-branded web portal and an in-home display. Customers can also respond to peak events and control smart thermostats, plugs and other load control devices from their mobile devices, whether from their couch or from the office.
The centerpiece of this approach is tapping real-time smart meter data to capture customer attention. Instead of boring customers with charts and wordy lectures, the CEIVA display blends instant and weekly views of electricity, water and gas use with the customer's own personal pictures synched via the cloud. In addition, customers receive unique conservation and community messages from the utility, notifying them about local events and more. The energy-related information is presented in a beautiful and engaging way, so the display is usually featured in the kitchen or living room, at the center of users' lives. Most importantly, research reveals that this approach gets the results the industry has been hoping for.
Doing customer engagement right
National Grid has tapped into this approach to engage residential customers in Worcester, Massachusetts. Building on Itron's smart grid network and CEIVA Energy's technology, National Grid is delivering a range of technology solutions to 15,000 residential customers, making it the largest program of its kind in the Northeast.
As part of the program, Worcester customers receive smart thermostats, smart plugs, hard-wired load control devices as well as CEIVA's in-home display. CEIVA and Itron deliver a seamless ecosystem of home thermostat and appliance controls, as well as useful data and utility messaging via the engaging display. Customers can also access real-time, detailed energy consumption information through convenient web platforms and mobile apps.
So where is the value for National Grid? In addition to delivering products and services that boost customer satisfaction, National Grid can use the program to run advanced analytics on customers' real-time energy data. By assessing behavior and usage trends, the utility can better target energy efficiency and demand-response initiatives while improving program efficiency.
Simply put, bringing customers more visibility and control over their home energy use is a win-win for customers and for the utility.
Delivering on the smart-grid promise
CEIVA's and Itron's solutions are critical to delivering on the promise of the smart grid by completing the last mile-or last few feet-to connect smart meter information with the customer. Together, we are changing the utility business by unlocking customer engagement and reinventing the utility-customer relationship so that utilities can thrive in a rapidly shifting market.

Discovering hair thinning treatment options that get the job done can be exhausting and disheartening but you'll find a select few you are able to rely on. How perfectly they help along with your problem will rely to the type of hair loss you've and if they're complemented by visit the site .
Fda Accepted Thinning hair Treatment options
You are going to find a plethora of therapies for hair loss which will all attest to remaining probably the most efficient but actually there are actually only a few solutions that have been accepted because of the Food and drug administration. Therefore they have gone through substantial scientific and scientific testing to be able to demonstrate not just their efficacy but will also their safety in managing hairloss.
That is recognised to be the single most effective treatment method for male hair loss and its success has been continually demonstrated. In scientific tests of men aged eighteen to 41 with moderate to average male pattern hairloss these success were recorded:
two of three gentlemen who took Propecia regrew hair, as calculated by hair rely
All gentlemen who took the placebo misplaced hair via the stop in the 5-year review
All over the 5-year research, the main difference among the two groups elevated. The most increase in hair count with Propecia occurred while in the initially 2 several years of the study
Via the conclusion with the research, there was a mean variation of 277 hairs in a check spot (1-inch circle along with head) amongst men who took Propecia and males who took a placebo
Most adult men really need to use Propecia for a minimum of 6 months prior to looking at visible outcomes but some adult men will observe success in as minor as three months of starting up treatment.
Propecia is most effective when taken once the warning symptoms for male pattern hair loss surface. In the five year research, the longest managed scientific demo of the hairloss therapy actually, adult men who were handled having a placebo after which you can switched to Propecia a person year later on by no means caught up to the men who took Propecia for the complete five yrs.

Mumbai Food: Revamped iconic Santacruz five-star lounge offers offbeat fare
Getting a makeover after a decade, an iconic Santacruz five-star lounge offers cocktails in navari saree-draped glasses and fare inspired by London's Chinatown
A large wall of brass coins, inspired by Chinese trading routes of the '40s, greets us at the entrance of China House Lounge. Launched in a suburban five-star 10 years ago, the space, located a level below its restaurant avatar, has undergone a revamp for the first time, joining the list of five-star properties injected with botox shot in recent times to stand up to standalone pubs. We walk in to find that much has changed except the familiar brick lattice-work walls. They hold secrets of memorable parties - from designer duo Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla's 25th year bash for the label to Vikram Chatwal's fashion week galas. The spacious dance floor where everyone from the Ambanis to Khans have grooved into the wee hours of the morning also remains.
Breaded green peas, chilli and cheddar fritters
The LED lights have been spruced up to match the beats of EDM tracks and the refurbished private dining sections, with Chinese mural art, hold chests with liquor bottles and paraphernalia for guests to enjoy themselves without the 'waiter, more ice please' rigour.
Navari. Pics/Falguni Agrawal
A navari high
The space, which will now operate every evening, offers various cocktails inspired by the prohibition era along with signature concoctions. Navari (Rs 1,400), a gin-guava cocktail, is served in a glass draped with the Maharashtrian nine-yard saree. Though gimmicky to the eye, it scores in potency, with fruity flavours masking the alcohol. We enjoy the tangy-spicy notes in the rum- and pineapple-based karate master (Rs 1,400), spiked with chillies and vinegar. It is served in a gunny bag as an ode to a certain karate master, who would hide a rum bottle in such a bag during prohibition.
Wok-fried chicken rice in black pepper
We pair the drinks with Peking duck bao (Rs 380), where light-as-air beige-hued baos (courtesy a dash of duck sauce mixed with the dough) are stuffed with crisp and peppery meat. We also enjoy breaded green peas (Rs 300), where Asian-style dumplings, with a thin skin that gives way to al dente pea mash, hide under a crisp, cheesy tuile.
Peking duck bao
From London's Chinatown
The food menu has been curated by executive chef Jef Foster, who comes armed with 25 years of experience, having helmed five-star kitchens in California and London. So, the oriental fare shares space with global eats, including a silky smooth chicken liver parfait (Rs 475) that we smear over crisp toast and relish with onion jam.
Another highlight is wok-fried chicken rice in black pepper (Rs 500), where egg-laced grains of rice soak in peppery-spicy flavours of the gravy redolent with Chinese herbs and succulent chicken strips. The dish appears in a section called London's China Town specialties. "We serve the dish in a ceramic container that resembles the to-go wok boxes at the Chinese joints in that area." We exit, delighted to have made a short trip around the world on this culinary Orient Express.
Chef Jef Foster
OPENS ON: December 2 (daily), 5 pm to 2 am
AT: Grand Hyatt, off Western Express highway, Santacruz East.

What people wear in Israel reflects the fact that the country is the crossroads of many cultures and religions. This impacts local fashion as much as the climate and geography do.
Religious garb is everywhere in Israel, especially in Jerusalem. Ultra-orthodox Jews cling to their traditional black hats and coats, Jewish men wearing skullcaps are a normal sight, and you will see nuns, monks and priests of various denominations wearing their particular vestments.
Many Arabs and Bedouins maintain their traditional headdress and embroidered robes, regardless of their religion.
When visiting holy sites or religious neighborhoods, women should wear skirts and long sleeves, and men should wear long pants. Otherwise, you may be refused entry to some tourist sites. But in coastal cities like Tel Aviv, anything goes.
Israel is brutally hot in the summer, so sun protection is important: long sleeves, skirts and hats are recommended. It is cold and wet in much of the country during the winter, so you'll need warm layers and rain gear.
Israel's fashion trade is one of its most important industries.Some typically Israeli things you might want to pick up on your trip include Israeli sandals, shoes, scarves and hats.

On the occasion, Hassan Nasir Jamy, Manager Director
ENERCON told that ENERCON has closely worked with various key stakeholders like Ministry of Science & Technology, PCSIR, PSQCA and manufacturers of various appliances and development partners which
formed the basis for developing the Energy Labeling Scheme in view of the best practices of regional countries.

Conservation Bill 2016 had been approved recently which shall provide a legal basis to stop wastage of energy.
Minister for Water and Power appreciated the steps taken by
ENERCON for bringing Energy Labeling Scheme into practical phase which would help consumers to buy energy efficient products and appreciated the fan manufacturers for voluntary registering in the Energy Labeling Regime.

Deltona, Florida, August 8, 2016 (Newswire.com) - Many neighborhood watch programs have been established throughout Central Florida and have proven to be beneficial in deterring criminal activity. The program has many advantages, such as bringing communities together, raising awareness and decreasing chances of having to deal with criminal activity in their home. Starting a Neighborhood Watch Program in Central Florida is simple and extremely beneficial. While the best preventative measure against home intruders is an effective home security system, there are many advantages of implementing a Neighborhood Watch Program.
The first thing you need to do is to determine the area within Central Florida that you want to represent and protect (i.e. "your neighborhood"). The larger the area, the greater the protection. An area can range in size from 5 to 150 households. Making you have large enough support, when dealing with a large area is key.
Next, you must gain support. Recruiting and organizing as many neighbors as possible. Make everyone aware of the plans by sending e-mails or passing out flyers. Be sure to include everyone in the area where the program is being established, this will ensure that even if some select not to participate, they are aware that the program will be forming.
Once the first two steps are put into place, contact your local law enforcement agency and schedule a planning meeting. Invite them to meet with your group at a time and place convenient for all. It is essential to work in collaboration with law enforcement because a Neighborhood Watch is a cooperative effort.
Develop an action plan in order to establish what members of the Watch will be doing. With the help of your local police authorities, learn how to report and identify suspicious activity as well as crime prevention techniques such as home security, personal safety, and more. It is also a good idea to create and distribute a Neighborhood Watch area map showing names, phone numbers, and street number of each household participating.
Create a communication plan. This is the most important step to take as it determines how effective and successful the Watch program will be. This can be done through meetings, social media or both.
Finally, take action. Now that your group is all set up, make it aware to other members of the community that this is present and encourage others to get involved or learn about starting a group in their area.
