General info

Industrial forced draft fans (FD Fans) operate by focusing the pressure and volume at the outlet of the fan to push air through a system. This focus creates positive air pressure.

Though many applications call for positive pressure, requirements for forced draft are most often found in boiler applications. "Teploagregat" builds the industrial fans, blowers, and dampers necessary to maintain the highest-efficiency forced draft process air.

Fans that are used to evacuate a space or create negative air pressure in a system are referred to as induced draft fans (ID fans).  Occasionally, manufacturing spaces are required by specifications to be maintained at a specific negative pressure.  Induced draft is also used to identify the combustion process used in large boilers.  When mechanical ventilation is supplied to these boilers, the heat transfer rate increases; the boiler can be reduced in size to produce the same amount of energy as natural draft.  The induced draft fans used in combustion systems are normally high temperature and extra heavy-duty construction.

Language metadata

"The consensus among Teribe speakers is that the name “Teribe” originated when the Spanish explorers came up what is now known as the Teribe River and asked what this place was. The Teribes answered, tjer di, which means, ‘river of the Grandmother’. (The Grandmother was the protective spirit who controlled that area and to whom the Teribes went for help and healing.) The Spaniards corrupted that into Teribe and the name stuck (to the river and the people). The Teribes refer to themselves and their language as Naso which has come to mean ‘Indian, native’ but which probably derives from the two words na ‘here’ and so, sogo ‘owner’ to mean ‘the owners of this place’" (Oakes 2001:3)

Endangered Species Act Saves Once-threatened Mojave Desert Bird

Proposal Declares Inyo California Towhee Recovered

LOS ANGELES–(ENEWSPF)–November 1, 2013.  The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced today that Endangered Species Act protections have successfully recovered the Inyo California towhee, a songbird found only near springs in the Mojave Desert. The towhee got federal protection in 1987 because its habitat around desert springs was being damaged by grazing, recreation and mining. Federal listing with critical habitat protection allowed the bird’s population to rebound from fewer than 200 birds in 1987 to more than 700 birds today.

“The recovery of this California songbird is the direct result of the Endangered Species Act, which has prevented the extinction of 99 percent of the plants and animals under its care,” said Tierra Curry, a biologist at the Center for Biological Diversity, which has worked to protect the towhee’s habitat for more than a decade. “The recovery of the towhee and its spring habitats is cause for celebration and provides yet another example of the success of our most important law for saving wildlife.”

The 7-inch-tall, gray-brown bird is found only in the Argus Mountains in Inyo County and nowhere else on Earth. In 2008 the Service published a five-year review announcing that Endangered Species Act protection had led to the bird’s recovery and that it no longer needed federal protection; today’s proposed rule to remove the bird from the endangered species list opens a public-comment period, after which a final rule will be published.

The bird needs trees near water sources to protect it from the desert sun and from predators, as well as for nesting. The vast majority of the towhee’s range is publicly owned land under the control of the Department of Defense, Bureau of Land Management and California Department of Fish and Wildlife; only 1 percent of its habitat is on private land.

The Center entered into a settlement with the BLM in 2001 to gain greater protection for the towhee’s habitat. The settlement enacted mining prohibitions, grazing restrictions, removal of feral burros, off-road vehicle restrictions and road closures.

In 2010 the Service entered into an agreement with public-land managers to carry out conservation measures to ensure the bird’s habitat continues to be monitored and protected. The measures include ongoing removal of feral burros, fencing to protect riparian vegetation, regulation of recreation and removal of non-native plants. Once the proposal is finalized and the bird is removed from the endangered species list, a federal monitoring plan will go into effect to ensure its continued recovery.

“Endangered Species Act protection with designated critical habitat is the most powerful tool our country has to save imperiled wildlife from extinction. Forty years after the Act’s passage, the story of the Inyo California towhee demonstrates how effective the law continues to be at preserving our irreplaceable natural heritage,” said Curry.

The Center for Biological Diversity is a national, nonprofit conservation organization with more than 625,000 members and online activists dedicated to the protection of endangered species and wild places.

STF called to guard prisons to thwart operating illegal activities from prison cells – Defense Secretary

(COLOMBO, LANKAPUVATH) – The Defense Secretary Major General (Retd) Kamal Gunaratne said the decision to deploy Police Special Task Force (STF) to strengthen security of the prisons was taken to thwart illegal activities operating from the prison cells.

The Police Special Task Force was deployed in outer perimeters of the Welikada Prison and Colombo Remand Prison to strengthen security from Monday (Aug 24).

Major General (Gunaratne said the decision was taken, especially to provide more protection to these prisons, to thwart illegal activities – smuggling drugs and using mobile phones to operate crimes from prison cells.

The Defense Secretary said prison guards had detected drugs, SIM cards and mobile phones daily from the Sri Lanka’s largest prison, which includes the Magazine Prison, Welikada Prison, Prison Hospital and Remand Prison.

Defense Secretary said the smugglers kept on operating illegal activities amidst tight security inside these prisons and it was found later that those illegal items enter into prisons as there were some loopholes at prisons entry points.

“This was revealed when we adopted the new system that integrated all related intelligence apparatus including prison’s intelligence unit, to work together to find the loopholes in prisons”, he said.

He said STF had already been deployed to maintain security in the Agunakolapelessa Prison.

According to the Defense Secretary, all gates of the Welikada Prison would be manned by the STF soldiers to prevent drugs, SIM cards and other illegal items entering the prison from tomorrow.

Maj. Gen. Gunaratne, addressing a gathering at the 25th Anniversary of the Sri Lanka Army’s 53 Division organized by 53 Division Commander Maj. Gen. Priyantha Senarathne at Dambulla, said prison’s officials were empowered more to conduct investigations inside prisons with the support of the STF.

While reiterating President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s directives to eliminate drug menace, organized crimes and extortions, the Defense Secretary said no one would be able to walk freely in the country if this situation continued for about four-five years.

“Sri Lanka would have been facing a similar situation like in Somalia”, he said.

He said all those measures were complied with President’s vision to create a safe country for all citizens of the country.

‘Anti-mask’ harasses children and after-school program staff at Gregory Heights Elementary School

A grown man – described as an “anti-masker” – allegedly harassed an after-school program at Gregory Heights Elementary School on Tuesday, November 16, 2021.

The King County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the report, saying officers responded just before 4:30 p.m., but the subject disappeared before deputies arrived.

Reports say the man blocked the door to a portable classroom, harassed staff and children inside, and shouted about how “the government was lying to them about masks, complaining about not being able to go to the restaurant, accusing the staff of not caring about (masks) and abusing children with masks.

“The Principal of Gregory Heights received a report from after school program staff that a male came to the laptop door (not inside) and made remarks to the staff,” Catherine Carbone Rogers said. , director of communications at Highline Public School. “The police and our security arrived in about five minutes, by the time the man had left.”

The teacher, another adult and some students said they were on the laptop when they opened the door to take a few students to the bathroom. During this transition, a dog ran to the portable door and a man approached to retrieve his dog. The man then started ranting about the vaccine and COVID, asking a few questions about the program and why they had kids there during a pandemic, as well as why the kids were wearing masks.

“While my husband was picking up our daughter from the Gregory Heights Right at School program, there was a man who broke into the laptop, blocked the door and harassed the staff and children,” Honora Estes said in a post on social. media. “He was yelling at them about how the government was lying to them about masks, complaining that he couldn’t go to restaurants, accusing staff of not caring and abusing children with masks. He was a middle-aged white man about 6 feet tall with short blond hair and a medium-sized dog with him.

The teacher immediately called the police as another parent walked over to the cellphone at the time and the man left.

“He never addressed the children or had any physical contact with them,” she said. “The police came to walk on the scene as well as my zone director. Neither found it on school grounds.

The man was described as a 35-year-old white man, tall with blond hair, medium build, with a medium-sized blond dog mix with a red leash.

“Keep your eyes peeled. He intentionally targeted an area with children and could be dangerous,” Estes added.

My Little Palomino Plug

By Laura Crum

Some of you may remember that I wrote awhile back about my new horse, a little (14.3) grade palomino gelding I bought about a year ago now to ride the trails with my son. (See my post “The New Horse”, May 08) Now this horse is not the least bit fancy. He looks a little out of place in my corrals, which (other than Sunny) are occupied by some pretty nicely bred Quarter Horses. Sunny looks like a cross between a pony and a QH. Or maybe a miniature draft horse. He’s coarse, and a bit clunky to ride. I have no idea how he’s bred; he was bought by a horse trader in a sale in El Paso, and was said to have come from old Mexico. I was told he was about eight to ten years old. The vet said he was somewhere between twelve and fifteen. It figures. I was neither surprised nor bothered by this info. Par for the course in the horse trading world.

Sunny is not a particularly well broke horse. He’ll walk, trot, lope around an arena in his clunky way, and do a passable stop. He carries his head low and rock steady—its just his natural head carriage. He does not have much rein on him; I frequently resort to direct reining him when I mean business about the fact that he is to go where I point him. You can rope on him, but he’s too slow and clumsy to be much good at it. His gaits are nothing to brag about, though he is sure-footed outside. He makes an effort (almost every ride) to see if he can be the boss. He isn’t dangerous; he just tries his rider in small ways. The vague gesture at a nip or kick, the small crowhop, the half-hearted attempt at balking. He spooks once in a great while, though overall he’s not a spooky horse. Fortunately he’s too clunky to spook as effectively as my old cutting horse, Gunner, and since I spent ten years riding one that can really move, I’m not threatened by Sunny’s boogers. I may have to grab the horn, but I stay on (cursing the little shit). Sunny never gets away with dominating me. I win every round. But he doesn’t give up. He’s a persistant critter.

At this point, you may be wondering what I see in the horse. Believe me, at times I wonder this, too. However, Sunny does have some virtues. In fact, he has exactly the attributes I need right now in a mount. Sunny is a reliable trail horse. Okay, I just got back from a two hour ride and he made two sudden, 90 degree, swinging gate spooks, one at a green tarp and one at a hostile stump. But overall, he’s very steady on the trail. The spooks are the exception, not the rule. And once he’s had his little jump, he goes right on, quiet and calm. He’s been on a lot of trail rides in his life; he’ll go anywhere. Nothing bothers him. Not crossing busy roads, not wading in the surf, not going solo through the wild woods, not deer leaping out of the trees under his nose. He does not jig. He’s surefooted and a trooper climbing hills. He’s slow but steady on any steep descent. He will stand like a park bench under any circumstances, if I decide to stop for awhile. And he gives my son’s bomb proof trail horse, Henry, a quiet, reliable lead.

Since the one thing I was looking for when I bought Sunny is a solid, reliable trail horse to ride with my son, I’m quite satisfied with my purchase. Sunny didn’t cost much and he’s sound. I run him and Henry barefoot and they do fine (saves me a bundle). Sunny’s an easy keeper, too—always a good trait in a horse. And I actually enjoy his ornery little personality. He’s a smart horse, and I like smart horses. His attempts to dominate me amuse me. And when I decide I’m gonna teach him something (like how to take his wormer like a gentleman) he learns fast. Though I have to get the point across with a certain degree of firmness. Yep, little old Sunshine and I are on the same page.

But here’s the real truth. I have a hard time admitting this, but I like this horse partly because he’s so darn cute. I don’t mean fancy, well-bred cute. I mean little girl’s dream pony cute. Sort of giant stuffed animal cute. Everybody reacts to the horse this way,. Experienced horse people, tough old team ropers, one and all get a grin when they look at Sunny, and want to pet him. Little girls mob him. I rode by the local boarding stable on my way to the trails and a teenage girl came running out of the barn screaming, “That’s the cutest horse I ever saw!”. A middle-aged lady stopped me and begged to give the darling palomino a carrot. And I smile every single morning when I walk down the hill to feed the horses and see his bright gold shape in the corrral. Sunny is just that cute.

I never had a palomino before and I am constantly surprised by how much I enjoy his color. What is it with that bright gold shiny coat. He even sparkles in the sunshine in the winter, despite the fact that I don’t blanket and he’s hairy. I just enjoy looking at the side of his neck while I ride.

So here’s the deal. Its all very well for me to go on and on about how cute the horse is, but it just so happens that I took Sunny for a ride through the hills this afternoon (it was 70 degrees and sunny—weatherwise—here by California’s Monterey Bay) and for once someone was there to take photos as I got ready to go. The local newspaper occasionally decides I am worth a story (local mystery author with horses), and they sent a reporter and photographer out today. And now you can see for yourself. Below are a couple of photos of me and my little palomino plug. Is he not every little girl’s dream come true? And can you see why he makes me smile, little recalcitrant mule that he is?

Oh - nice guy! He sounds like my dream horse! What's not to like about a nice colour as well?

His personality reminds me a fair bit of the pony I had as a kid - an appy/welsh pony cross. She wasn't much of anything, but she was reliable and had a great (stubborn) personality...

2horseygirls said...

What a handsome guy! He reminds me of one of the geldings at my barn, who was just sold to one of the girls on the drill team. Gambi used to be a lesson horse, which was interesting, because he had a very literal personality. If you pointed him at the wall, he would walk into the wall if you didn't remember to turn him. And Gambi was all about being pretty. I swear he would actually try to stand on one foot if it was muddy out so he didn't get dirty.

Gotta love the palominos! :)

mugwump said...

I have told you before how cute I think Sunny is. I still do. I'm proud of the little fart too. He is smart enough to be a good, sevicable horse and still wants to test. So it keeps him interesting. This will keep you enjoying him. Call me nuts, but I love it when the solid "Steady Eddies" have enough gumption to throw out a crow hop once in awhile.

Anonymous said...

Mugwump, you are so right. Sunny's little quirks, which I don't find threatening, are what make him fun. I'm just embarrassed that I'm such a sucker for his color. I always saw myself as the sort of horseperson who was "above" that. I liked a horse for what he could do, didn't care if he was homely. My horses have all been bay or brown. So now that I've sort of stumbled into owning a palomino, I am constantly amazed at how much I enjoy what he looks like. Coarse little, cold-blooded critter that he is (!)

And thanks, Laura and 2horseygirls. I'm glad you think he's cute, too. Maybe I'm not such a sucker after all.

Martha Seaman McKee said...

He's Adorable, with a capital A.
And I gotta admit, I'm a sucker for buckskins and palominos, one of each myself.

mugwump said...

I worked and trained for many years for a foundation, color breeder (Go ahead, laugh yourself silly Fugly)
I bought a horse from them. The only bay their stud ever threw.
Then, many years later, I ended up with my yellow mare.I bought her because she had the breeding I was looking for.
She shines like a gold coin. She has a dainty Arab head. She is a reincarnation of Barbie, make that Princess Barbie.
I have to admit, I love it. She makes me feel like Roy Rogers. Sometimes I catch myself just staring at her, she's so lovely. So I get it.
The Big K told me once, "If you're going to show a horse that looks like that you had better be good, cause she sure draws the eye." Sigh.
BTW, I bred my bay mare a few years go. Now my two horses to enter old lady hood with are my deep gold palomino and a buttermilk buckskin.

Leslie said...

Oh, yeah, Sunny lives up to his name! He has that cute factor going for him. Kind of like the surfer guy with the sun bleached hair, who also has the fun loving, but a little naughty, personality to go with it. The girls gush all over him! I know I'd fall for him too! Looks and sounds like a great guy, Laura! Hope you enjoy many trails together!

Mary Paine said...

Sunny is adorable! There is something about a palomino. The golden color makes me think of princesses and fairy tales. Have fun with your own little girl's dream come true!

Anonymous said...

Thanks guys, I'm glad I'm not delusional when I say Sunny is just too cute.

And mugwump, your yellow mare is more than cute. She's amazing. You don't often see that deep gold with the white mane and tail. And her head....I would spend all my time just staring at her. Of course, she can work, too. Well, you did say she cost an arm and leg. I guess that's how you get the beautiful ones with talent.

Unknown said...

hes got the cutest friggn ears. I love little horse ears I just want to grab them.

Hes also a lot like my Indigo in the sturdy little cement pillar legs. oh man hes damn cute. A lot like her personality too but she has a bit of spook and a lot more go.

Joy said...

oh my. I just love his forelock. I would have to slick that over to the left and make it look like a "business man" hair cut. He's too freaking cute. And yes, I would have to come running over and pet that animal for sure.

And I am jealous, mugs, that you have a buckskin AND a palomino. But I love my copper-red fat big butted lame horse just the same. He shines like a new penny in the sunset so there.

Kay said...

He is adorable and a lot can be said of horse that is just a joy to be around. To me he looks perfect.

Fantastyk Voyager said...

Sunny is cute! I love his face and his little ears. I'm partial to small horses anyway; I have Arabs.

When I was a girl, I had a Palomino Appaloosa pony 13.3 hands high (POA or Welsh-Appy cross?) named Alfie. I just loved him. Goofy, sleepy Alfie could run barrels and poles around the big QH boys. I would ride him bareback and bridleless in the arena and kick him to make him go. He was fearless, bombproof, and so much FUN! He was about the color of Sunny, just beautiful in the sunlight.

Francesca Prescott said...

Hi Laura, I am jealous that you live in the Monterey Bay AND that you have a palomino with the "cute" factor! I also have a horse with the "cute" factor; he's a bay with a heart on his face. He also has the biggest heart I've ever met in a horse: he's the sweetest, kindest, most loving thing ever. But since we don't live in the Monteray Bay, and that Santa Cruz, Carmel and Big Sur are among my favourite places in the world, I'm still a teeny bit jealous!

Happy holidays from Switzerland,

The Family

It has not been a great horse week for me. It all started on Monday afternoon when I received a call that one of my young horses had been hurt. I have horses up at Terrie's and then a group at my parents' house. My folks only live a few miles away, so I jumped in the truck and blasted over there. Sure enough my big chestnut filly was hurt pretty bad. Long story short, someone did something stupid with her (something I had told them not to ever do--tie horses to a pipe corral). She was tied next to her sister who is also three as they were being blanketed. Dogs came around the corner out of the bushes and spooked them. One pulled back and as you can imagine so did the other and apparently chaos ensued. My Bronte girl tried to go forward and jump the pipe, my Mia girl kept pulling back and fortunately came out of the halter, but Bronte got hung up in the pipes. All four legs are pretty beaten up and I am extremely fortunate that her canon bone was not fractured, or this post would be a very different one today.

Needless to say, this horse has never been hurt. She has lived a very nice babyhood and I was getting ready to send her to Aunt Terrie's for school (along with her sister). Bronte has also been my shy one and startles easy. I had finally gotten her to a place where she felt some real confidence and now I am having to go back and help quell her anxiety again. But, the real point to this story is what happened in the hours that the vet was with us. My very sweet young mare trusted us both completely--yes she was sedated but not heavily. She needed stitches, x-rays, a Tetanus shot, wraps--the works (you don't even want to guess how much this is costing). She would get a bit twitchy and nervous and I just kept telling her how brave and strong she is. I tapped her forehead and kept that motherly voice going and my girl relaxed. My vet even said, "This horse loves and trusts you." Now, I know I say that I don't pick favorites but this baby happens to be my favorite one. There is something very special about this horse.

As all of this was going on, her sister Mia was quite concerned and so was the gelding who lives next to them (Mouse). Mouse kept trying to stick his nose out and reach her, checking to see if she was okay. Then, he and Mia would touch noses and have a conversation about it. The horses in the top barn (Will, Hobbit, and Little Grey) could not see anything but they knew something was going on as whinnies from all three echoed off the mountains around us. I eventually had to go up top and give everyone an extra snack to quiet them down. My neurotic Will had paced himself into a sweat. Seeing and sensing all of this made me further realize something I already knew, but it cemented it for me-- this group of horses is a family. And all horses are emotional, sensitive creatures. They feel pain, they feel worry, they express love and concern, anger and dismay. They work from their heart, and maybe that's why we love them so much. They simply "Get it" way better than most humans do.

I am happy to say that Bronte is healing. She's sound, but has some serious tendinitis at this point. Icing, antibiotics and anti-inflammatories are the protocol, along with 6 weeks of rest and only hand walking, but I am so grateful it wasn't worse. As you can imagine, I have now taken over all horse duties at my parents' place. I feed, I blanket and I turn out. I can't risk losing any of my family, and this week it was just too close.

My Bronte Girl and me
I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Love your animals and your people.

Laura Crum said...

Michele--I hope your girl recovers smoothly and completely. Stuff like this happens with horses--its inevitable--but its no fun when it does. Good wishes to you and your family--human and equine.

RiderWriter said...

I am so sorry Bronte was hurt, glad it wasn't worse and she's going to be okay, and amazed at the reactions of the other horses! I wouldn't have expected the ones in the other barn to know something was going on. How smart they are, and yes indeed, how full of emotion.

(Attention pro-slaughter people: do the cows in another barn get upset when one of their herd is in distress? Didn't think so.)

Hope you and Bronte have a wonderful future together.

Anonymous said...

Very sorry to hear about that, but glad it looks like she's going to OK. It's very scary when a horse member of the family gets badly hurt.

Francesca Prescott said...

I'm sorry to hear your mare was hurt. I hope she heals quickly and thoroughly. Lots of love to you, your family and all your horses.

Alison said...

Michelle, the thing I noticed most about your post was there was no cursing at the person who tied the horses to the pipe corral. I am a wuss about tying horses to ANYTHING. I know that is not practical, but it's a fear of mine.

Good luck with the healing and give all the horses kisses.

Bye Bra – Dress Tape Clear 30x

(3 kundrecensioner)

20 i lager

Artikelnr: BYE03A Kategorier: ,

The dress tape is made from a 3M adhesive and the size of the strips are 23mm by 82mm. They are much wider and longer than the average dress tape. This is a handy feature, because the dress tape should remain on all night long, while most dress tapes are too thin to be able to do so. The 3M adhesive is of exceptional quality â€“ it is gentle on both, skin and garments. The protective layers between them ensure that the strips do not stick together before usage. A combination of the Bye Bra adhesive breast lift together with the dress tape prevents the dreaded 'nipple slip'. If you wear Bye Bra with a revealing dress where people might catch unintended glimpses, we advise you to combine your purchase with our dress tape. The strips fix your dress in place to keep your womanly secrets hidden. There are 30 strips in a pack, however since you can cut them in half, as they are 82mm, you can have up to 60 strips. Instructions: Before you apply the strips, ensure that the skin is dry and clean of any creams or moisturisers. First, choose the place on your skin where you would like the garment to be attached. Then peel off the backing paper from the inner side of the strip and press the tape firmly onto the skin. With the tape in place, remove the backing paper from the outer surface and push the garment against it. Hold it in place for several seconds before releasing it. To remove the tape after use, just peel it off. If it doesn't come easily off the: â€“ Garment: Soak the garment in warm soapy water and try again. â€“ Skin: Apply baby oil or a similar product to speed up the process and try again.

I Know

‘Smile! God loves you’ always turned me off

I found it too easy and so trite

In the face of the suffering

That people bear each day

This happy phrase annoyed me

Go! Go away!

But being told ‘God knows you’

That had me intrigued

It’s lovely to be known

I do not feel deceived

And knowing yes is loving

And understanding all

Better than I know myself

Seeing when I fall

Knowing my inmost heart and mind

This knowledge yes is love

And I have lived in knowing this

I trust this God above

Spectral demultiplexing in holographic and fluorescent on-chip microscopy.

Lensfree on-chip imaging and sensing platforms provide compact and cost-effective designs for various telemedicine and lab-on-a-chip applications. In this work, we demonstrate computational solutions for some of the challenges associated with (i) the use of broadband, partially-coherent illumination sources for on-chip holographic imaging, and (ii) multicolor detection for lensfree fluorescent on-chip microscopy. Specifically, we introduce spectral demultiplexing approaches that aim to digitally narrow the spectral content of broadband illumination sources (such as wide-band light emitting diodes or even sunlight) to improve spatial resolution in holographic on-chip microscopy. We also demonstrate the application of such spectral demultiplexing approaches for wide-field imaging of multicolor fluorescent objects on a chip. These computational approaches can be used to replace e.g., thin-film interference filters, gratings or other optical components used for spectral multiplexing/demultiplexing, which can form a desirable solution for cost-effective and compact wide-field microscopy and sensing needs on a chip.

Fhl5/Act, a CREM-binding transcriptional activator required for normal sperm maturation and morphology, is not essential for testicular gene expression

  • Author(s): Lardenois, Aurélie;
  • Chalmel, Frédéric;
  • Demougin, Philippe;
  • Kotaja, Noora;
  • Sassone-Corsi, Paolo;
  • Primig, Michael
  • et al.

Abstract Background The LIM domain protein Fhl5 was previously found to interact with CREM, a DNA binding transcriptional regulator necessary for spermiogenesis in mammals. Co-transfection experiments using heterologous promoter constructs indicated a role for Fhl5 in transcriptional up-regulation of CREM-dependent testicular genes. Male mice lacking Fhl5 were reported to be fertile but displayed partially abnormal sperm maturation and morphology. Methods To identify Fhl5 testicular target genes we carried out two whole-genome expression profiling experiments using high-density oligonucleotide microarrays and total testis samples from Fhl5 wild-type versus homozygous mutant mice first in different and then in isogenic strain backgrounds. Results Weak signal differences were detected in non-isogenic samples but no statistically significant expression changes were observed when isogenic Fhl5 mutant and wild-type samples were compared. Conclusion The outcome of these experiments suggests that testicular expression profiling is extremely sensitive to the genetic background and that Fhl5 is not essential for testicular gene expression to a level detected by microarray-based measurements. This might be due to redundant function of the related and similarly expressed protein Fhl4.

Perception and the Dual Nature of Appearances

  • Author(s): Sethi, Umrao
  • Advisor(s): Campbell, John J;
  • Ginsborg, Hannah
  • et al.

It has been universally assumed that sensible qualities—colors, smells, shapes and sizes—must either be “out there” or “in here”: they must either be features of the external world or modifications of perceivers’ minds. Neither option is satisfying, because both force us to relinquish the striking intuition that there is something shared by a tomato and an after-image, a beach ball and a phosphene, when each is said to look red or to look round. The central insight of my dissertation is that the choice between sensible qualities being “out there” or “in here” is a false one: it stems from a misunderstanding of the metaphysics of sensible qualities. The mind and the material world play distinct roles in the instantiation of sensible qualities: material bodies are the bearers of sensible qualities; minds perceive these qualities. Each guarantees an instance of the quality, but does so in a way that does not exclude the other. These observations concerning the metaphysical nature of sensible qualities have expansive ramifications for the philosophy of mind; for at bottom, they reveal that the mind and the world play supportive, rather than antagonistic, roles in the constitution of conscious phenomenology.

In my dissertation, I develop a historically motivated account of two kinds of sensible instances. The redness of an ordinary tomato is a mind-independent sensible instance because inherence in the physical tomato is all that is required for this instance to exist. I trace this notion of inherence back to Locke, arguing that for him, inherence in a substance is what explains the instantiation of a sensible quality. But now consider an experience of a red after-image. We cannot describe the phenomenology of this experience by appeal to an uninstantiated universal; for this fails to capture how the redness that you experience is right there in front of you, not in Platonic heaven. So there must be an actual instance of redness present. But, unlike in the case of the tomato, there is no suitable object for redness to inhere in. There is no material body that is red; nor can the mind serve as the bearer of redness, for this would have the absurd implication that the mind, when perceiving, is itself literally red. Arguing that this is the real insight behind Berkeley’s famous maxim esse est percipi, I defend the view that such an instance of redness exists, not in virtue of having any bearer (contra Locke), but rather as the object of a perceiver’s awareness. Just as in the case of pains, the very fact that a perceiver enjoys an experience of a red after-image guarantees an instance of redness of which she is aware.

Thus, sensible qualities turn out to be an ontologically flexible kind—some instances inhere in material bodies, others are the objects of a perceiver’s mental states. More importantly, however, the two modes of instantiation are not exclusive of each other even in the case of a particular instance. Consider, for example, a case in which one perceives a ripe tomato: in this situation, two conditions obtain, each of which is sufficient for the instantiation of redness. First, there is a material object—the tomato—that redness inheres in. But second, the perceiver is in a mental state whose existence guarantees an instance of redness. In such a case, given that there is only one instance of redness present, it must be over-determined. A perceived instance of redness, then, simultaneously inheres in a physical object and is the object of a perceiver’s awareness.

I use this framework to develop a novel version of naïve realism—the view that ordinary perception is constitutively an awareness of the mind-independent world—which acknowledges the rich phenomenology of hallucinations. There has been unanimous agreement that this combination of features is impossible to secure. For given the absence of a physical object, if a hallucination makes the perceiver aware of redness, it must make the perceiver aware of a mind-dependent instance of redness. Many have argued, though, that if the hallucinated instance is mind-dependent, it seems as though the instance of redness in the veridical perception must be as well, thereby falsifying naïve realism.

First, I argue that representationalism—the view most commonly endorsed by those who accept the argument—is unable to do justice to the phenomenology of experience. But then, I go on to show that the argument is invalid, thereby defending naïve realism. I argue that both veridical and hallucinatory acts of awareness are individually sufficient for their items, but it is only the instances in the hallucination that are mind-dependent. For remember that the instance of redness in the veridical case is over-determined: despite the sufficiency of the perceiver’s state, the presence of a material body that is itself sufficient for the instance in question means that this instance can outlive the experience, continuing to inhere, now unperceived, in the tomato. This makes the items of veridical perception mind-independent. Nonetheless, veridical perception and hallucination have the same phenomenal character, because both comprise an awareness of the same sensible qualities. The contribution that particular instances of these qualities make to conscious phenomenology is unaffected by their ontological status—that is, by whether or not they are mind-independent. In paying close attention to the underlying metaphysics, then, we have established the world-involving nature of perception while nonetheless respecting the mind’s capacity to generate phenomenal character.

Age- and AD-related redox state of NADH in subcellular compartments by fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy.

  • Author(s): Dong, Yue;
  • Digman, Michelle A;
  • Brewer, Gregory J
  • et al.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (reduced form: NADH) serves as a vital redox-energy currency for reduction-oxidation homeostasis and fulfilling energetic demands. While NADH exists as free and bound forms, only free NADH is utilized for complex I to power oxidative phosphorylation, especially important in neurons. Here, we studied how much free NADH remains available for energy production in mitochondria of old living neurons. We hypothesize that free NADH in neurons from old mice is lower than the levels in young mice and even lower in neurons from the 3xTg-AD Alzheimer's disease (AD) mouse model. To assess free NADH, we used lifetime imaging of NADH autofluorescence with 2-photon excitation to be able to resolve the pool of NADH in mitochondria, cytoplasm, and nuclei. Primary neurons from old mice were characterized by a lower free/bound NADH ratio than young neurons from both non-transgenic (NTg) and more so in 3xTg-AD mice. Mitochondrial compartments maintained 26 to 41% more reducing NADH redox state than cytoplasm for each age, genotype, and sex. Aging diminished the mitochondrial free NADH concentration in NTg neurons by 43% and in 3xTg-AD by 50%. The lower free NADH with age suggests a decline in capacity to regenerate free NADH for energetic supply to power oxidative phosphorylation which further worsens in AD. Applying this non-invasive approach, we showed the most explicit measures yet of bioenergetic deficits in free NADH with aging at the subcellular level in live neurons from in-bred mice and an AD model.

The 'holy grail' in radiation oncology is to improve the outcome of radiation therapy (RT) with a radiosensitizer-a systemic chemical/biochemical agent that additively or synergistically sensitizes tumor cells to radiation in the absence of significant toxicity. Similar to the oxygen effect, in which DNA bases modified by reactive oxygen species prevent repair of the cellular radiation damage, these compounds in general magnify free radical formation, leading to the permanent "fixation" of the resultant chemical change in the DNA structure. The purpose of this review is to present the origin story of the radiosensitizer, RRx-001, which emerged from the aerospace industry. The activity of RRx-001 as a chemosensitizer in multiple tumor types and disease states including malaria, hemorrhagic shock and sickle cell anemia, are the subject of future reviews.

Opportunities, and Threats involved in a project or in a business venture. It involves
specifying the objective of the business venture or project and identifying the internal and external factors that are favorable and unfavorable to achieving that objective. The
technique is credited to Albert Humphrey, who led a research project at Stanford
University in the 1960s and 1970s using data from Fortune 500 companies.

Strategic and Creative Use of S.W.O.T Analysis
Strategic Use: Orienting SWOTs to An Objective
If SWOT analysis does not start with defining a desired end state or objective, it runs the
risk of being useless. A SWOT analysis may be incorporated into the strategic planning
model. An example of a strategic planning technique that incorporates an objectivedriven SWOT analysis is SCAN analysis. Strategic Planning, including SWOT and
SCAN analysis, has been the subject of much research.
If a clear objective has been identified, SWOT analysis can be used to help in the pursuit
of that objective. In this case, SWOTs are:
Strengths: attributes of the organization that are helpful to achieving the
Weaknesses: attributes of the organization that are harmful to achieving
the objective.
Opportunities: external conditions that are helpful to achieving the
Threats: external conditions that are harmful to achieving the objective.

Identification of SWOTs is essential because subsequent steps in the process of planning
for achievement of the selected objective are to be derived from the SWOTs.
First, the decision makers have to determine whether the objective is attainable, given the
SWOTs. If the objective is NOT attainable a different objective must be selected and the
process repeated.

Creative Use of SWOTs: Generating Strategies
If, on the other hand, the objective seems attainable, the SWOTs are used as inputs to the
creative generation of possible strategies, by asking and answering each of the following
four questions, many times:
1. How can we Use each Strength?
2. How can we Stop each Weakness?
3. How can we Exploit each Opportunity?
4. How can we Defend against each Threat?

Internal and external factors
The aim of any SWOT analysis is to identify the key internal and external factors that are
important to achieving the objective. SWOT analysis groups key pieces of information
into two main categories:
Internal factors The strengths and weaknesses internal to the
External factors The opportunities and threats presented by the external
The internal factors may be viewed as strengths or weaknesses depending upon their
impact on the organization’s objectives. What may represent strengths with respect to one objective may be weaknesses for another objective. The factors may include all of the
4P’s; as well as personnel, finance, manufacturing capabilities, and so on. The external
factors may include macroeconomic matters, technological change, legislation, and sociocultural changes, as well as changes in the marketplace or competitive position. The
results are often presented in the form of a matrix.

SWOT analysis is just one method of categorization and has its own weaknesses. For
example, it may tend to persuade companies to compile lists rather than think about what is actually important in achieving objectives. It also presents the resulting lists
uncritically and without clear prioritization so that, for example, weak opportunities may
appear to balance strong threats.

It is prudent not to eliminate too quickly any candidate SWOT entry. The importance of
individual SWOTs will be revealed by the value of the strategies it generates. A SWOT
item that produces valuable strategies is important. A SWOT item that generates no
strategies is not important.

For this project, please complete the following requirements:
A Research Paper (APA Format) that is 5 to 8 pages long (single spaced, 12pts,
Times New Roman), which contains the following sections:
o Company Introduction
o Main Competitive/Absolute Advantage
o Description of 1 Technology System
o Value Chain Analysis
o 4 parts of SWOT Analysis Model
At least 1 item in each SWOT Category
o 1 TOWS Analysis Strategy
o Summary/Conclusion

2023 GMC Yukon Review, Ratings, Specs, Prices, and Photos

 2023 GMC Yukon Review, Ratings, Specs, Prices, and Photos

What kind of vehicle is the 2023 GMC Yukon? What does it compare to?

The 2023 GMC Yukon is a full-size SUV available in standard and extra-long Yukon XL guise, with a lineup that includes the off-roady AT4 trim and the ritzy Denali edition. The Yukon rivals the Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator, plus its corporate cousins badged as the Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban and Cadillac Escalade.

Is the 2023 GMC Yukon a good SUV?

Review continues below

A strong choice overall, the 2023 GMC Yukon serves up impressive refinement, towing capability, and comfort all wrapped up in a luxurious package. It’s a 6.3 on the TCC scale, at least until we know more about its crash-test record. (Read more about how we rate cars.)

What’s new for the 2023 GMC Yukon?

A new Denali Ultimate trim level pushes the range-topping version of the Yukon even closer to Escalade levels with its dressier cabin, additional seat adjustment, and available Super Cruise hands-free driver-assistance tech.

The Yukon comes in two basic flavors: big and bigger, also known as Yukon XL. All wear roughly the same lines, including a blocky, tall grille surrounded by C-shape headlights with plenty of LEDs. From the side, they’re more conservative than their GMC and Chevy siblings—something we don’t mind.

They’re even better inside— especially in Denali trim, which has its own dash design. All have a 10.2-inch infotainment system that can run a full, desktop-style version of Google Maps.

Less high-tech are the engine options, though they’re plenty smooth. Look for a 355-hp 5.3-liter V-8 in most versions, though a 420-hp 6.2-liter V-8 and a torque-heavy 3.0-liter turbodiesel 6-cylinder are optional. All versions use a 10-speed automatic transmission and most offer a choice between rear- or four-wheel drive.

A fully independent suspension delivers a plush ride, even in woodsy AT4 guise. That model offers impressive off-road chops, so long as you can find a trail wide enough.

The diesel version provides the best fuel economy at 22 to 23 combined, but V-8s check in around 16 mpg combined. There is currently no Yukon hybrid.

It may not be frugal, but the Yukon is certainly comfortable. Its cabin serves up impressive space for as many as nine adults, though most models leave the Texas factory with room for seven or eight. XL versions have massive second-row leg room and even their third rows can accommodate adults, while the cargo area swallows plenty of luggage. Just measure your garage first; the Yukon XL is nearly 19 feet long.

Automatic emergency braking comes standard, while a wide array of driver-assistance tech is on the options list. Disconcertingly, the Yukon range earns a somewhat unusual four stars from the NHTSA for its crashworthiness.

How much does the 2023 GMC Yukon cost?

The GMC Yukon starts around $55,000 and climbs quickly from there. While the best tech comes on the Denali trim for upward of $75,000, most buyers will find the $64,000 or so Yukon SLT to offer a nice balance.

Where is the 2023 GMC Yukon made?

In Arlington, Texas.

MIL OSI – Source: New Zealand First – Slap In The Face For All SuperGold Cardholders [caption id="attachment_2529" align="alignleft" width="300"]New Zealand First leader Winston Peters. New Zealand First leader Winston Peters.[/caption] Claims that over 65s do not need free off-peak transport are both venal and wrong, says New Zealand First. “It is also outlandish for the New Zealand Herald to claim that there is not enough money to support the SuperGold Card concessions,” says New Zealand First Leader Rt Hon Winston Peters. “As we said last week, more and more retired New Zealanders will realise that this government is practising a regime of unfairness under the guise of tight fiscal management. “On the question of cost the Herald has conveniently forgotten the greatest cost has come from allowing 73,000 people to come to New Zealand and within 10 years pick up full NZ Super, whether they pay any taxes or not. “If the cost was the Herald’s concern why has it ignored this enormous cost. “Over 65s have been slapped in the face today by the media, doing the National government’s bidding. “The Herald’s editorial is a put down of all over 65s, and most of its readers. To say that the ‘vast majority of those reaching 65 do not need it, and they know’ and this is somehow an ‘excess’ shows their disrespect for Seniors, who have paid some of the highest taxes for the last 50 years or more. “It also shows the Herald is out of touch, being only aware of the incomes of the elite in Auckland, it does not have clue how many over 65s struggle with weekly living costs. “Remember National and Mr Key have constantly said they would not change NZ Super entitlements. They just have, right under the Herald’s nose, but this watchdog completely missed that as well. “There are a plethora of benefits in giving off-peak travel for Seniors – including ensuring they get out and about and have social contact with others, this is especially the case now as so many children and relatives live overseas. No one will deny that health problems are exacerbated when people are stuck home alone. “And let’s not forget the impact this has on the roads. If the Herald and National have their way the over 65s will take to their cars, in peak hours too, and won’t there be some complaining then.” –]]>

National Champions:Everett Crimson Tide Storm to Pop Warner Title in Undefeated Fashion

Football seasons don’t come any better than the one achieved by The Everett Crimson Tide Pop Warner Patriot Division team.

Undefeated. Greater Boston League champion. State champion. New England champion. National champion.

Head coach Dennis Willcox’s Everett juggernaut won all 17 games and outscored its opponents, 553-41, during a perfect season that culminated with three victories in the National Pop Warner Championships at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports Complex in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

It wasn’t until the New England final that Everett allowed a touchdown, besting Oakwood, Rhode Island, 30-6, to advance to the national finals.

The Everett team consists of eighth grade players who compete in a division with no weight limits. The players came up through the ranks of the Crimson Tide Pop Warner system that has been an excellent feeder system for coach John DiBiaso’s vaunted Everett High program.

Playing against the top teams in the country in Florida, the Everett contingent defeated Oak Park, Michigan, 36-14, in the quarterfinals and hometown favorite Dr. Phillips of Orlando, Fla., 24-22, in the semifinals.

 Everett led Dr. Phillips, 24-0, before the Floridians closed the gap to 24-22, just missing on a two-point conversion kick that hit the crossbar. Everett ran out the clock to preserve an exciting victory. Gabriel DeSouza booted three successful conversions to account for the two-point margin of victory. Daniel DeCastro rushed for more than 100 yards in the game.

Everett quarterback Jake Willcox, son of head coach Dennis Willcox, put on a show in the national championship game, throwing four touchdown passes and for 200 yards in a 39-0 victory over the Reno (Nev.) Miners. In the three playoff games, Willcox had nine TD passes and 500 passing yards. Running the Everett High spread, no-huddle offense to perfection, Willcox threw 35 touchdowns passes during the season.

Jake Willcox’s top receivers were Gabriel DeSouza, Mikey Sainristil, Ricky Martinez, and Devin Pulsifer.

The standouts for Everett’s defensive unit were linemen Giovanni Raduazzo, Kerbilly Ducasse, Marcus Romboli, and Sal DiPierro, and linebackers Devin Pulsifer, Daniel DeCastro, David Fanni, and Anthony Escobar. The lightning fast defensive backs were Mikey Sainristil, Omaro Sesay, and Chonlee Cine.

Dennis Willcox had coached many of Everett players in the E, D, and C divisions, twice advancing to the New England finals. He coached the ‘A’ team last season before reuniting with many of the players for their final seasons in the Pop Warner program.

“It had been our goal since the ‘D’ squad to qualify for Florida and win the national title,” said Willcox. “For it to actually happen was really a blessing. We achieved our goal.”

Dennis Willcox has been a coach on John DiBiaso’s varsity staff for five seasons.

“What I’ve learned from coach DiBiaso has been amazing,” said Willcox. “He taught me everything.”

Willcox said the future for Everett High football looks bright and he and his players have high expectations beginning this fall.

“The players have a new goal of winning multiple Super Bowls and we’re not going to settle for anything less.”

Creating a Successful Event PR Campaign

experiential marketing examples

A vital piece of every promotional strategy is public relations, especially when promoting events for a company. Plenty of the time local media outlets tend to target a local community, which means media coverage in local publications for an event will result in the event reaching the right people. However, companies that don’t have the right approach to PR will end up wasting their time without the benefits of positive media coverage. Additionally, there already are plenty of events both locally and globally in most locations, and without strong PR any company’s event will get lost in the crowd. Additionally,... Read More >

PR Lessons from Unions

2016-09-13 by EPR Staff

Great PR is often associated with Mad Men of Madison Ave, Silicon Valley wizards, or seasoned warriors on K Street. But that’s oversimplifying things, and underestimating some of the best PR operatives in the country – unions. Long gone are days when unions accomplished their goals by simply picketing outside the employer’s office, or scaring passerby’s with giant inflatable rats. Intimidating unyielding employers with physical violence is also pretty much behind us. That’s because often you can accomplish a ton towards Public Relations campaigns. A great example of true mastery in using PR as a weapon is Health Professionals and... Read More >

Jerry Earle, NAPE president, was happy with their victory as the government conceded and let their crisis PR consultant go in favor of using in-house communications and PR people.

The Public Relations World Was Changed By Project Apollo

Project Apollo, and especially Apollo 11, gave the United States an opportunity to shine like it has rarely been able to do. Not that great things haven’t been accomplished in America over the years, but this was above the mark. It gave the U.S. a chance to show our technological supremacy over the rest of the world and especially rival nations. That was the primary goal of the program when first envisioned by the Kennedy administration in 1961 - it wasn’t so much about conquering space travel, it was about proving our superiority - especially to the “Red Menace.” To...

Pentagon Joins PR War for Environmentalism

A poll conducted earlier this year showed that only 70 percent of Americans believe climate change is real. Another survey showed that whether people believed it was real or not, only 40 percent of Americans believe climate change is a serious threat. This is compared to 88 percent of British people who believe the climate is changing. In fact, one study showed that of all the countries in the world, Americans seem most likely to debate about whether or not climate change is real, while other cultures are more accepting. This makes combating climate change in America a difficult task.... Read More >

Recession Tracker Puts JP Morgan in the News

As one of the largest banks in the United States, JP Morgan, enjoys its fair share of the limelight. Yet, many believe a desire for more publicity must be the company’s reason behind its recession tracker. The company’s economists recently announced the tracker shows a 36 percent chance of America entering yet another economic recession. Known for its particular love of all things negative and controversial, the media – and the public at large – has spun several stories around this prediction. What many economists know but do not always share is that creating fear about a recession often creates... Read More >

Pick an issue in the public domain. Almost nothing sets more teeth on edge and gets more people riled up than abortion.

This may be the most presumptuous branding move in the beer industry since they coined the name, “King of Beers” … or it could be one of the most shrewd and audacious marketing moves of the decade. Recently, Budweiser announced, at least for the summer, it would be renaming its signature beer “America” for the duration of the season.

Start Using Your Rainwater

Your home is one big rainwater collector, and unless you have storage for all that pure, cloud-filtered water, it’s going down the drain and to waste. At evridrop, we make it simple to start using your free rainwater supply around your home and garden, for irrigation, in your toilets and even in your washing machine.

Big-impact rainwater harvesting, made easy

When we got started in 2016, getting a rainwater harvesting system installed on your home was a nightmare. You’d be full of passion and excitement, then come all the different companies you have to find, and trust to work together. A surveyor, installer, tank supplier and maintenance specialist. Once you’ve chosen them, it’s up to you to manage everything and sign it off. We thought there had to be a better way. So we founded evridrop. Your one-stop rainwater harvesting specialists. From survey to maintenance, we take care of it all with ease and full accountability.

Save Money. Cut Your Carbon.

Your property is already collecting free rainwater, you just need a way to store it and use it. By creating access to your rainwater, you can reduce domestic mains water usage by up to 50% (up to 63% in a commercial property), lowering annual bills by the same amount. And because it takes 1.3kwh of electricity to pump a cubic metre of mains water, using rainwater to flush your toilets, clean your clothes and water your garden will also cut your carbon footprint.

Cut Your CO2

Cleaning and pumping mains water produces carbon, using rainwater doesn’t.

Save Money

On a meter? Using rainwater from your roof can cut your mains water bill in half.

Be More Natural

Rainwater is completely renewable, uses no energy and doesn’t affect wildlife habitats.

You′re 75% There

You have a roof, gutters and a down-pipe, all you need is somewhere to store your rain.

More Than Just a Water Butt

For many people, rainwater harvesting means a black plastic barrel hidden behind the shed. But it’s come a long way in recent years. Now, you can have a designer barrel that you’re proud to show off to your neighbours, and you can install sophisticated underground systems that feed your garden, toilets and kitchen. At evridrop, we offer the full range of domestic rainwater harvesting systems through our shop and our end-to-end system install service.

Sustainability and Financial Benefits

Of rainwater harvesting

Lower water bills

The rainwater that falls on your building can replace up to 50% of your mains water usage. That means savings of up to 50% on your annual water bill. We say up to because it depends how you want to use rainwater in your property. A domestic property can save 5% using the water outdoors, an additional 12% through laundry use and an extra 33% by flushing toilets with rainwater instead of drinking water.

Lower Carbon Footprint

The hidden cost of mains water usage is the environmental cost. It takes 1.3kwh of electricity to pump a cubic metre of water to your property, that’s around 35.5kg of carbon produced in a year for every person in the building. By replacing some of your mains water need with rainwater, sourced onsite, you dramatically cut those emissions and your building becomes more sustainable. You also leave that unused mains water in lakes, rivers and reservoirs, benefiting wildlife and ecosystems.

Reduced flood risk

Localised flooding is caused by storm water overloading drains, sewers and water courses. It happens because the hard surfaces on your property (roofs, driveways, paths) prevent natural soak away and channel gallons of water into the sewer network. Rainwater harvesting systems help alleviate this pressure by retaining rainwater and slowly releasing it into either drains or soak away beds over time. This reduces the load on the sewers and the knock-on risk of flooding.

Hosepipes and clothes washing

Aside from the main reasons to start collecting your rainwater, there are a few perks to taking control of your water supply and relying less on mains. Storing rainwater means you don’t need to worry about hosepipe bans, so when the hot, dry summers come (they do exist, honest) and your neighbour’s gardens are suffering – you can keep on watering and cleaning your car. If you’re feeling generous, you could even share your harvest!

Using rainwater in your washing machine is proven to produce better cleaning results. The water is always soft, meaning less detergent is needed and less chemicals end up on your clothes and in the water ecosystem. Softer water also requires less energy to clean clothes, saving you money on your electricity bill too!

From Quote to Using Your Rainwater

How it works

1. Request your free quote

Fill out our form or call us, we’ll find out more about what you need and provide a free provisional quote to manage the whole install for you. This will give you an idea of the cost of your new system.

2. Book a survey

If you’re happy with the provisional quote, we’ll book a survey at a convenient time for you. Your survey enables us to provide you with an accurate quote and install report containing your recommended system. We charge for this, with the cost taken off your install bill should you choose to proceed.

3. We manage your install

With the green light from you, we’ll get to work. We’ll supply and deliver your new system to your site, install it and commission it ready for use all on agreed dates. We’ll also take you through how to use your new system and ensure we leave your property in the condition we found it.

4. Your property is more water efficient!

With your new rainwater harvesting or wastewater system installed, you can smile every time you turn the tap knowing your water usage is more efficient, sustainable, and in the case of waste water systems – completely compliant with regulations. Beyond this, if you want us to maintain your system, we can arrange an affordable package to suit.

Is Your House Up To Scratch?

The Government’s Code for Sustainable Homes was introduced in 2008 to tackle mains water stresses and make rainwater harvesting a requirement on all new builds. It’s made up of six levels, each one representing a maximum daily use of mains water per person:

1 and 2

3 and 4

5 and 6

From 2016 the standard expected on all new builds is Level 6, 80 litres per person per day. To achieve this level of sustainability a rainwater harvesting system must be installed. In the not too distant future, Rainwater harvesting will be the norm on most buildings in the UK. Remember when solar panels where seen as odd? Now they’re commonplace, and just like solar panels help you go ‘off grid’, rainwater harvesting systems do the same for water (literally) – giving you more control over how use source and use the earth’s most precious resource.

See how much rain you could harvest.

The Boss

“I adore Melissa McCarthy. She is one of the funniest women on the planet, a role model of a strong woman, and a truly genuine charismatic and caring person. I’ve been excited for all her tv appearances and interviews. I love hear what she has to say, and how she has to say it. I’m thrilled to see her leading her own movies, and I love the partnership she has with her husband in making these films happen. So why do I always find them underwhelming?

I recounted a similar feeling toward Sacha Baron Cohen a few weeks ago, and I often used to make the same lament about Will Ferrell. I just don’t like these over the top characters enough to maintain an entire movie. The basis for the comedy (lots of flash and visual) just don’t do it for me. There was a gag (not a spoiler, it’s in the trailer) where she is launched off a sofa sleeper into the wall. Uproarious laughter throughout the room. The older gentleman in front of me had aftershocks of chuckles through the next few minutes. I sat there stone faced (and not because I already knew that gag was coming, the trailer received the same lack of response from me).

I’d love to see McCarthy take on a more realistic role, that les her personality shine through a bit more, and plays off that natural charisma. And then save these flamboyant characters for featured roles and small scenes to steal.

I did really like her pairing with Kristen Bell. Her more straight but still funny role is the level where I’d like to see McCarthy. But since Bell was here, she had the chance to shine, and she was fantastic. Maybe we can pair these ladies up again some time?

The Boss – \m/ \m/ \n”
