What Makes a Mouse or Trackball Ergonomic

What Makes a Mouse or Trackball Ergonomic

What makes a Mouse Ergonomic?

By Janet DeLapp, MS, CDMS, CPDM, CPE and Matt Copeland, BS, CEOE

Have you been using a computer for a long period of time? Chances are yes in this digital world that we all live in. But how does that mouse treat you after you’ve been working for a while? Do you feel discomfort in the wrist, elbow, or shoulder? Chances are you are not using a device designed with ergonomics in mind. Ergonomics Consultants | Solutions Northwest Inc.

What makes something ergonomic?

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines ergonomics as, “an applied science concerned with designing and arranging things people use so that the people and things interact most efficiently and safely”. In this case, designing a device to fit a person properly would be ergonomic. So, what makes a device ergonomic? There are two simple points to consider when riddling whether your device is ergonomic or not: proper fit and placement/posture.

Proper fit: If your device is too big or too small for you, it’s not an ergonomic solution. If your device is too big, then you’re likely engaging the muscles of your hands and arm far more than necessary. Likewise, if your device is too small, you’re likely putting yourself into an awkward posture by holding your hand or fingers precariously to get enough hand/finger real estate on the device to use it.

Placement/Posture: Both are very important and both inform the other. Posture can be tricky as most all of us have developed our normal posture and departing from it can be difficult. Proper ergonomic or “neutral” posture goes like this. Your shoulders should be relaxed with your elbows by your side and bent about 90 degrees. Your wrists should be straight and not bent up or down or in or out. If your device is too far left or right, you are likely causing undue work for your shoulder. If it is too far forward or too close, you may start feeling it from the shoulder all the way to the wrist after extended periods of use.

In conclusion

If it doesn’t fit your hand and you can’t use it without straining your arm or shoulder, it’s probably not the right one, it is not in the correct position, or both. Be sure to consult with your Office Admin or Manager to see about ordering the proper tools and perhaps contacting an expert for a workplace ergonomics assessment.

Hopefully these ergonomics tips can help keep your workplace a safe work place. For more guidance on all work related health and safety issues, visit or Contact Us for more information.

Montevarchi, Auditorium Comunale, Giovanni Martinelli pittore di Montevarchi. Maestro del Seicento fiorentino, 19 March – 19 July 2011.

"Martinelli is one of the most original of the Florentine baroque masters influenced by Caravaggio, as perfectly exemplified by this harrowing scene in which the figure of death seizes an old miser clinging onto his wordly goods. The look of horror on the face of the young man in the background adds to the heightened sense of terror and serves to remind us all of the transience and vanity of worldly goods."

James Macdonald

Unknown before the 2011 monographic exhibition, this striking painting can now be definitively linked to the Corsi family, whose palace on the via Tornabuoni housed one of the most significant collections assembled in seventeenth-century Florence. The Corsi accounts for 1638 record a payment of seventy lire made on the 24th of March to Giovanni Martinelli and subsequent payments on the 26th of July and 20th of August for ‘diversi lavori fatti e da farsi’ on behalf of monsignor Lorenzo Corsi.1  This, combined with three later references to a painting in the Corsi inventories matching the subject of the present work, signifies that in all likelihood that the painting formed part of the ‘diversi lavori’ carried out for Lorenzo Corsi in 1638.2

Lorenzo Corsi, papal vice-legate in Avignon between 1645 and 1653, lived between Florence and Rome when in Italy, maintaining close connections with the Medici and Barberini families in each city respectively, with Ferdinando II de’ Medici entrusting him with two important legations to France, the latter at the death of Marie de’ Medici in 1642. Lorenzo was particularly close to Carlo and Giano Carlo Medici, both of whom were cardinals, and all three held passions for music, theatre, rare flowers and landscaping, as well as sharing artistic tastes. Indeed, their closely connected patronage is demonstrated by archival records indicating that by 1637 Giano Carlo owned a painting by Martinelli entitled Death Comes to the Banquet Table, probably the version in the New Orleans Museum of Art depicting a skeleton approaching a table of richly dressed youths (fig. 1).

The subject of the painting is an innovative take on the closely related and classic themes of the memento mori and vanitas. The former can be considered a meditation on the transience of life and the certainty of death, while the latter is more akin to a reminder of the futility of the possession of worldly goods and an exhortation to the viewer to live morally. Within the cultured and courtly world of Medicean Florence these were popular themes, discussed during the philosophical debates held at the various academies of the city. The subject was clearly significant to Martinelli, testified by the five known versions by his hand: the present picture and aforementioned canvas in New Orleans; an autograph reproduction of the New Orleans picture in the Etro collection; the painting at the North Carolina Museum of Art;3 and finally a version whose location is unknown, but was formerly with Colnaghi in 1959.4

The Corsi pictures distinguishes itself from the other versions in its reduced composition and, most importantly, in the presence of the old miser, who replaces the festive group of youths. As a stunned boy looks on, an open-mouthed Death, in the form of a skeleton, grips the hand of an old miser counting his pile of coins, determined to hold onto his gains even though his end is imminent. At the left of the composition a diabolical figure, his red flesh alluding to the fires of hell, sticks his tongue out in a manic grin and waits in anticipation to seize the soul of the old sinner.

Martinelli was born in Montevarchi, a Tuscan town in the province of Arezzo, moving to Florence in late adolescence to study and live with Jacopo Ligozzi, remaining there until 1625. There is no documented trace of Martinelli for the next decade, though it is very likely he enjoyed an extended stay in Rome, profiting from the study of the Caravaggesque painting he would have encountered there. Martinelli returned to Tuscany by at least 1632, the date at which he painted the Miracle of the mule for the church of San Francesco in Peschia, near Pistoia, before settling again in Florence, where he enrolled in the Accademia del Disegno in 1636, living there for the remainder of his career. Long neglected, it was not until 2011 that the importance of Martinelli to Seicento Italian painting was widely recognized, with the publication of the first monographic volume dedicated to the artist and the exhibition in Montevarchi organized by the Uffizi proving to be key turning points. His allegorical representations, in harmony with the intense philosophical climate of the Florentine academies and the Medicean circle, are amongst the most accomplished and innovative of the period, with his half-length representations of female figures and his series on Death, of which the present painting constitutes a significant example, being the most celebrated of these.

Sennheiser Unveils the HD 820 and CX 6.00BT

Get excited.
January 22, 2018

Sennheiser unveils the the HD 820 closed-back headphones, the CX 6.00BT earphones, and grant show-goers a first look at a 3D soundbar prototype to kick-off the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

HD 820 Headphones

Sennheiser understands that to behold the future, we must understand the past. The company’s accrued 70-plus years of audio experience have culminated into the HD 820. An update to the 2009-released HD 800, the HD 820 are closed-back. This is a significant departure from the traditional open-back build of premium audiophile headphones. “Usually, high-end headphones require an open-back design, which has placed limits on where you can enjoy true audiophile sound. The HD 820 is a game changer …,” says Axel Grell, Portfolio Management Consumer at Sennheiser.

The open-back Sennheiser HD 800 have been lauded since there release in 2009.

Showcasing at CES, the HD 820 build and design pay homage to the HD 800 aesthetic. Gorilla Glass covers curve over each transducer. This reduces resonance by redirecting sound waves from the Sennheiser Ring Radiator transducers into dedicated absorber chambers. According to Sennheiser, the headphones will be available early summer 2018 for $2,399.95/€2,399 (MSRP).

HD V20 Amplifier

The German company also announced the HDV 820 amplifier as the “perfect companion to the HD 820.” The HD 820 low capacitance, impedance matching cable ensures seamless performance, as stated by Sennheiser. Both devices feature Pentaconn connectors, offering lower contact resistance than alternative connectors. This results in less distortion and more transparent sound reproduction.

CX 6.00BT Earphones

Sharing the stage with the HD 820, the CX 6.00BT are lightweight (14g) Bluetooth earphones. These are designed to facilitate on-the-go listening. Bluetooth 4.2 permits multi-connection—up to two simultaneous devices—and audio-visual discord is mitigated with Qualcomm aptX low latency compatibility.

The compact earbuds are joined by an around-the-neck cable that is outfitted with a three-button remote and microphone. The mic uses cVc noise cancelling technology and supports three-way calling.

Sennheiser’s AMBEO SMART HEADSET is capable of binaural recordings.3D S

3D Soundbar Prototype

Also being exhibited, a prototype 3D soundbar serves as the latest development in the AMBEO 3D audio program. Access to AMBEO at home furthers Sennheiser’s 3D immersive audio technology. An audio specialist is available to showcase the current AMBEO lineup, such as the AMBEO SMART HEADSET, which records binaural audio via users’ smartphones.

With the release of the HD 820 and CX 6.00BT, Sennheiser is shifting its  focus on more mobile-oriented products. The company reiterates the importance of accessible hi-fi sound in regards to the HD 820. Lightweight portability is also emphasized with the announcement of the CX 6.00BT.

Zimbabwe is located in southern Africa between South Africa and Zambia. Zimbabwe is completely enclosed by land and borders Botswana, Mozambique, Zambia and South Africa. The area of Zimbabwe is 390,580 square kilometers. Zimbabwe is therefore approximately 9.4 times as large as the Netherlands.

The land is dominated by a plateau with a mountain ridge that forms the central backbone. This ridge forms the separation between two river basins, with a water drain to the northwest in the Zambezi and to the southeast in the Limpopo and Save (Sabi) rivers. The northern part of the ridge is the Mvurwi mountain range with peaks such as Mount Mvurwi (1748 meters) and Mount Chikonyora (1731 meters). The Mashava hills form the central part and the Matopo the southern part of the ridge.

The climate of Zimbabwe is (sub) tropical. Zimbabwe is drier and cooler than you would expect in the tropics. This is due to the height of the land but also because the land does not lie on a sea or ocean. In the winter (May to August) the temperature can drop below freezing at night and there is little or no rainfall. The summer lasts from November to April and is also the rainy season.

There are few dense forests in Zimbabwe, only along the border with Mozambique can you still find some rain forests. The ‘Lowfield’, which is hotter and drier, has a grass steppe vegetation with sometimes semi-desert-like regions.

In all of Zimbabwe there are still lions, giraffes, moose, waterbucks, zebras and other game animals in reasonable amounts in the game parks. The largest herds of elephants and buffalo in Africa live in the Hwange National Park. The rare white rhinos, oribies and nyalas still live in Lake Mutirikwi National Park, near Masvingo.

Victoria Waterfalls

In the north of Zimbabwe are the Victoria Waterfalls, one of the seven wonders of the world. Over a length of more than 1.7 kilometers, the water of the Zambezi River falls into a narrow gorge here. Because of the cloud clouds and the deafening noise that is created as a result, the waterfalls are also locally referred to as ‘Mosi-oa-Tunya’, or ‘Smoke that thunders’. The falls are on the border with Zambia. It is possible to visit the falls from the town of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe or from Livingstone in Zambia. Many activities are organized from both towns, including rafting on the spectacular rapids of the mighty Zambezi river or a flight by ultralight plane over the falls.

Please note that in Zimbabwe many things must be paid in cash (entrance fees, visas, etc.). From June 24, 2019, the government of Zimbabwe decided that only the Zimbabwe Dollar can be used to make purchases in Zimbabwe. Previously American Dollars and often South African Rands and Botswana Pula were accepted everywhere. However, from June 24, 2019, shops etc may only display prices in (the new) Zimbabwe Dollar. So you will have to change money when you want to make purchases in Zimbabwe. As far as we know now, visas at the border posts still have to be paid in cash in US $. At the more luxurious lodges you can usually use your credit card to pay. It is currently still a very unclear situation with regard to this new monetary unit. If you have specific questions about the above, please contact us.

More signs emerge that inflation is altering shopping habits

July 26, 2022 Updated Tue., July 26, 2022 at 6:48 p.m.

Signage for Unilever is shown at an entrance to the company’s headquarters in Rotterdam, Netherlands, on Feb. 8.  (Bloomberg )

A day after Walmart warned investors that its profit would shrink as rising prices moved shoppers to make fewer purchases at its stores, Unilever, Coca-Cola and McDonald’s, three other consumer-facing giants, reinforced the message, to different degrees, providing a window into how companies are navigating this fragile economic moment.

On Tuesday, Unilever, the maker of Dove soap, Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and Hellmann’s mayonnaise, said it raised prices until they were 11% higher than in the same quarter last year, offsetting a 2% decline in the volume of things that consumers bought.

It was the fourth consecutive quarter in which prices outpaced volume growth at the company.

Unilever raised its forecast for revenue this year but said its profit would most likely be at the bottom of its expected range, held back by a sharp increase in the prices of plastics, palm oil, aluminum and other commodities it uses as inputs.

Alan Jope, Unilever’s chief executive, said on a call with analysts that “peak cost inflation” was likely to come in the second half of the year.

Sales volumes may fall more in the second half than the first, Jope said, “as the full impact of pricing lands.”

Passing higher prices on to shoppers has led some to buy less or trade down to cheaper store brands, Unilever’s results suggested, a trend also seen in Walmart’s recent financial reports.

To keep its higher-priced brands in consumers’ minds, Unilever said that it added about $200 million to its marketing budget in the first half of the year, another factor that put a dent in its profits.

Investors appeared heartened by Unilever’s ability to balance prices and costs, with its London-listed shares rising more than 2%.

Coca-Cola’s stock also traded higher on Tuesday, rising 1%, after it reported better-than-expected revenue growth in the second quarter, driven by a double-digit percentage rise in prices.

Crucially, it also recorded growth in the volume of drinks it sold, suggesting that shoppers are sticking with favored brands despite higher prices.

In a similar vein, Unilever noted that it sold more ice cream in the quarter, one of its few product categories to register volume growth.

Consumers’ willingness to pay higher prices has “largely held up better than expected,” James Quincey, Coca-Cola’s chief executive, said on a call with analysts.

“We are watching closely for signs of changing consumer behavior as the year goes on and as the average cost of the consumer basket continues to go up.”

Like Unilever and its closest rival, PepsiCo, which reported results this month, Coke raised its revenue forecast for the year.

And like at those companies, prices are rising faster than volumes, which when combined with rising commodity and transportation costs has dented profits.

Coca-Cola reported a 28% fall in profit for the second quarter, compared with the same period last year.

McDonald’s, the fast-food giant, said revenue at its restaurants, excluding those it sold in Russia, grew by almost 10% partly because of “strategic menu price increases,” it said.

Its stock rose by more than 2%.

On a call with analysts, executives at McDonald’s said that while consumers have generally accepted higher prices for Big Macs and other items, lower-income customers are beginning to trade down to less expensive menu items, like those in its “value” range, or choosing fewer combination meal deals.

The situation in Europe is even murkier, McDonald’s executives acknowledged, as inflationary pressures there are expected to remain high throughout the year.

“The inflationary pressures in Europe are elevated even beyond what we’re seeing in the U.S.,” said Chris Kempczinski, the chief executive of McDonald’s, “and that’s having an impact on consumer sentiment and what we’re needing to do from a menu board and pricing.”

The upbeat parts of Tuesday’s earnings reports weren’t enough to buoy Walmart’s stock, which fell about 8%, making it the worst-performing stock in the S&P 500 for the day.

The retail giant’s warning that it would need to continue marking down inventory that wasn’t selling because many shoppers were shifting to cheaper, lower-margin products showed how quickly inflation has gripped the economy.

Last month, Target also warned that its profits would be lower because of inventory markdowns.

The Federal Reserve is expected to act aggressively this week to rein in stubbornly high inflation with another large interest-rate increase, a move designed to cool consumer demand that may, ultimately, tip the economy into recession.Concerns over the outlook for the global economy helped drag down the S&P 500 stock index by 1%.

Consumer staples, the industry that includes Coca-Cola and Walmart, fell 1%, while consumer discretionary stocks, which include McDonald’s, fell further, down more than 3%.

Robert Pattinson Speaks Up About Rumors of Him Dating Kristen Stewart

Robert Pattinson says he tends to perceive the persistent false rumors of him dating co-star Kristen Stewart as “bizarre” and “ridiculous”.

Robert Pattinson

Taking a brief break from filming “The Twilight Saga’s New Moon,” Robert Pattinson sat down for an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight on Thursday, April 23, during when he opened up about the persistent rumors of him dating on-screen lover Kristen Stewart. “It’s really bizarre,” he said of the false romance rumors.

“It becomes a joke,” he continued. “There was some magazine the other day about me and Kristen, and when you look at it and realize it’s on the front of a magazine… You realize that people are actually reading that even though how ridiculous it is.”

Speaking further about how his fame affects his private life, Robert frankly admitted he is afraid that his sudden popularity might ruin his relationships with the people he loves. “I’m always really worried about ruining their lives,” he testified, adding, “Especially with people that aren’t famous. It’s such a massive change. I’m kind of a paranoid wreck.”

Robert, moreover, claimed media spotlight makes it harder for him to deal with his routines. “It’s getting photographed. You have people who analyze your facial expressions to the tiniest degree. So you’re just trying to avoid getting photographed. You’re like, ‘Jesus, you can’t win,'” he explained.

Robert’s full interview will be aired on Entertainment Tonight on Friday, April 24.

Patella Tendinopathy

May 9, 2018

Patella tendinopathy

Your patella tendon is the tendon which connects your knee cap to your shin bone. Patella tendinopathy, also referred to as jumper’s knee, was previously known as ‘patella tendinitis’ as it was believed it was a purely inflammatory condition (the suffix ‘itis’ denotes inflammation). Advances in our understanding of the condition lead to the renaming of the condition as a tendinopathy.

Image source.

What is tendinopathy?

Tendons are flexible but inelastic cords of strong fibrous collagen tissue, which attach muscle onto bone. Tendons, like bones, muscles and ligaments, are in a constant state of building new tissue and breaking down old tissue. This process of building tissue and breaking down tissue is affected by the amount of load placed on a structure. If we put too much load on a tendon and we continue to do it frequently, the process of tissue breakdown can exceed tissue growth. With this, the structure of a tendon starts to change, often becoming swollen and painful, making it less capable of dealing with load, which in turn tends to lead to even more tissue breakdown.  This cycle is difficult to reverse without appropriate intervention. This process of changes involving the tendon, is called tendinopathy.

Do you have patella tendinopathy?

The following factors are often associated with a diagnosis of patella tendinopathy:

  • Well-localised pain at the front of your knee.
  • Pain which has a gradual onset.
  • Pain is often precipitated by an increase in the frequency or intensity of repetitive ballistic movements of the knee such as jumping.
  • Initially pain may present as a dull ache at the beginning of or after strenuous activity. Generally, in the early stages, it warms up with further activity. With continued use, pain typically progresses to being felt before, during and after activity, and ultimately can interfere significantly with performance, as well as day-to-day life.
  • Sometimes people experience a constant ache at rest and night pain that disturbs sleep.
  • Other common aggravating factors include prolonged sitting or navigating stairs.

Risk factors

The following risk factors are associated with patella tendinopathy:

  • Poorly controlled load.
  • Gender: Men > Women.
  • Increase waist circumference.
  • Poor hamstring length.
  • Poor quadricep length.
  • Reduced ankle dorsiflexion.
  • Poor landing strategies – Poor trunk and lower limb alignment, poor shock absorption through knees when landing.
  • Larger infra patella fat pad.

How do we manage patella tendinopathy?

  • Settle symptoms by controlling load on the patella and commencing an appropriate exercise program to increase the body’s tolerance to load and trigger the body’s natural release of pain relieving chemicals.
  • Avoid stretching – While stretching may provide short term relief for tendinopathy, it appears that it may have negative effects on the tendon structure. Research has shown that compression of the tendon against a bone (which occurs with stretching) causes the tendon to alter its collagen structure.
  • Encourage you to speak to your pharmacist and or doctor about appropriate non-steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDS), which can downregulate the irritated tendon cells.
  • Identify the cause(s) of problem that are modifiable.
  • Rehab by targeting the cause(s) that have been identified.
  • Follow a graduated loading program to return to normal activities and strengthen to reduce the chances of recurrence.

St. Albert restauranteurs speak on new COVID restrictions

Some dining establishments choose to close dine-in service
Cajun House file
Gordon Gidora is the owner and head chef of The Cajun House, and the driving force since the St. Albert restaurant opened 27 years ago.

There is no “one fork fits all” as St. Albert restaurants are taking different approaches to additional provincial restrictions announced by Alberta Premier Jason Kenney on Tuesday.

Some establishments such as XIX Nineteen are choosing to close dine-in service. Starting Friday, Nov. 27, the high-end restaurant will be offering only take-out and curbside pickup for the next two or three weeks.

In addition to operating at 50 per cent capacity and requesting guests wear masks, the new health guidelines stipulate a maximum of six people are permitted to sit at a table and they must reside at the same household.

“I feel very pressured. We are already having a tough time asking people to put on a mask and now you’re enforcing another rule on top. I just found it very difficult. What we normally do is provide hospitality. We’re not police and we’re not law enforcement," said XIX Nineteen chef/owner Andrew Fung in a statement.

Holly Estacio, assistant general manager, added XIX Nineteen will continue operating with a full staff roster, possibly resulting in reduced hours.

“We will still employ all our staff. Everyone will help with take-out. We anticipate servers will make phone calls, take orders, prepare packaging and run to the curbside,” said Estacio. “We want to make sure the safety and health of our staff and our guests is our top priority.”

Toast Breakfast & Lunch is also closing voluntarily for several weeks, beginning mid-day on Thursday, Nov. 26.

A staff member at the popular eatery who did not wish to be identified said, “We’re hoping it’s only going to be for a few weeks.”

Abhilash Nechikkat, co-owner of Flame Kitchen located in Campbell Park, stares at empty seats and states he and his partners are weighing the options.

“We’re going to see how it goes for a week and then make a decision,” said Nechikkat.

Flame Kitchen, a blend of Italian and East Indian cuisine, opened its doors in March as the pandemic arrived and people stayed home.

“It really affected business,” said Nechikkat. Fortunately, dine-in and pick-up service grew during the summer. However, this latest round of restrictions is already putting a dent in sales.

“We used to have a group that came in every Thursday morning, and today they didn’t. It’s been really quiet.”

Like Fung, Nechikkat is frustrated government guidelines are forcing restauranteurs to police guests.

“How can we ask their I.D? It’s a hospitality industry. It’s tough enough for us without having to ask if you are from the same family. I don’t know how to put that into practice. For a liquor store or grocery store, it’s easier. For us, it’s impossible.”

Despite the uncertain future, Nechikkat noted the new restrictions were necessary.

“We can’t blame the government. It’s all they can do. We have to stop the spread of COVID, but it affects people like us.”

While federal and provincial assistance is available to small businesses, Flame Kitchen is ineligible. Most assistance programs require businesses to provide receipts for at least one operational year.

“There’s no help for businesses that opened in 2020. It is sad to say there is no support from the government. And that is why we are struggling. It would be great if the government could help small businesses that started in 2020. There are many more people like us struggling to survive.”

He added, “Even if people just do pickup, it’s enough for us to survive.”

Over at Cajun House, a 28-year home-gown staple, co-owner/chef Gordon Gidora has seen it all – several economic downturns, high food prices and staff shortages. But COVID-19 is the new game in town and it’s unpredictable.

Following initial guidelines, he operates the Cajun and Creole restaurant at 50 per cent capacity with tables at a minimum of six feet apart. To keep the restaurant’s doors open, Gidora has reduced staff hours and increased his schedule.

“I can’t bring in full-time staff if I’m only making $100 a day,” said Gidora, who offers dine-in, take-out and curbside pick-up.

Describing this week’s clientele, he said, “Monday and Tuesday was not bad. Wednesday, it was really quiet.”

The Cajun House luckily received a federal government wage subsidy to offset costs. However, it was unable to initially secure rental assistance paid in part by three parties: the business, the landlord and government.

In October, the Canadian government announced measures to provide rental assistance directly to businesses, and in November it proposed extending the wage subsidy until June 2021.

For Gidora, government assistance is an aid that will keep a local institution and a lifetime of service from collapsing.

In the meantime, he is staying positive.

“Everybody be safe. Hope for the best in the New Year. Keep your heads up and be friendly.”

When Pilate ask 2000 years ago:

What will you do with Yeshua – Jesus - who is called Messiah

My friend if you are not a Christian, time is truly running out for you. There is a hutch deception on the horizon road today in fact it is spilling in our time frame.

Jesus Christ is the only one who can save you from a lost eternity and a place the Bible calls the lake of fire. Without Jesus Christ you are lost.

What must you do to be saved from the coming deception and from the lake of fire.

The Bible says all have sinned all have short into the glory of God we all deserve hell and the lake of fire. There is only one escape and the answer is through Jesus Christ.

2000 years ago Jesus Christ came to earth. Lived a perfect live and died as a perfect sacrifice for your sins and for mine. But you have to receive that sacrifice and you have to receive this offer from God. You see, God has done all He can to rescue you from His own judgment. He does not want to judge you He wants to rescue you. And His amazing rescue mission was to have Jesus Christ His Own Son come to earth lived a perfect live and died and be punished by God on the Cross in your place.

Now you can except that or you can refuse it. If you accept it you will say: Jesus Christ I believe you died for my sins. Invite Christ into your life follow Him from this day on truly repent of your past, change your ways of living, follow Him and with His help you will changed and become a, what as known is, a born again believer. Christ will come into your heart if you repent of your past and turn to Him and look to Him as your only way of forgiveness and hope. But you must be sincere you must change, you must be willing to change.

If, on the other hand, you say I don’t want Jesus Christ, I am not interesting in your religion I am not interesting in following Jesus Christ than you have no one else to blame but yourself when the time comes for you to face God at His judgment seat. He has done everything He can to rescue you from His own cord.

But if you refuse you will one day stand before Him and give a account of your life and why you refuse this offer.

You say it is a bulling tactique, NO, it is a cry to rescue you. If you saw someone standing on the railway tracks and you knew a train was coming in the next few minutes and it will kill them outright what will you do. Wouldn’t you shout to them to get off.

What if they said to you, I don’t believe they using this way anymore I believe in my own way, I believe there is no train coming down this track for me. And you say: But it is coming! It is coming to hit you soon! And they say: I don’t believe you, go away. I want to walk this track myself, I am not interesting in you there is no train there is nothing coming. That is what you saying. You say: I don’t believe in Jesus Christ , I don’t believe He is coming to judge me. God is a God of love God wont hurt me?

Do you really think God allows sinful man into His Holy presence? NO! You have to change, you have to get of the track your own and follow Jesus Christ. I pray that you will come to know Him.

Thanks for reading this message

Yellen: U.S. economy still needs help from Fed

View Comments

The U.S. economy still isn’t healthy enough to grow at a consistently strong pace without the Federal Reserve’s help.

That was the message Fed Chair Janet Yellen sent Wednesday at a news conference after the central bank ended a two-day policy meeting.

Yellen made clear that despite a steadily improving job market and signs of creeping inflation, the Fed sees no need to raise short-term interest rates from record lows anytime soon.

Her remarks followed a statement from the Fed that it would further slow the pace of its long-term bond purchases. The bond purchases have been intended to keep long-term loan rates low. But the Fed offered no clear signal about when it will start raising its benchmark short-term rate.

Stock investors appeared pleased with the message that rates would remain low. Major indexes surged more than half a percentage point, with the Standard & Poor’s 500 index reaching a record. And the yield on the 10-year Treasury note dipped to 2.59 percent from 2.65 percent late Tuesday.

“The last thing that Janet Yellen wants is for the market to think she’s anywhere close to tightening,” said David Robin, managing director at the brokerage Newedge. “She nailed it.”

Many economists say a rate increase is at least a year away despite signs of rising inflation. At her news conference, Yellen downplayed inflation concerns. Recent inflation figures are “noisy,” she said.

Her comment signaled that the Fed doesn’t see high inflation as a risk that it would soon need to combat by raising interest rates.

David Jones, chief economist at DMJ Advisors, said the Fed and Yellen made plain that the central bank intends to keep rates low for a considerable time.

“The Fed is saying the economy still needs help and that inflation is not a threat at the moment,” Jones said. “Yellen is a lot more worried at the moment about how the job market is behaving than how inflation is behaving.”

At her news conference, Yellen declined to say whether she was “confident” about stronger economic growth coming.

“Because there is uncertainty,” she said.

She then enumerated why the economy should accelerate eventually: Credit is easing. Households are repaying debts. The federal government is exerting less of a drag on growth. The job market is strengthening. Home prices are rising. Stock prices are up. And the global economy appears to be improving.

“All of those things ought to be working to produce above-trend growth,” Yellen said.

They haven’t so far, five years after the Great Recession officially ended. A fierce winter caused the economy to shrink during the first three months of the year, putting it on a path similar to the meager 1.9 percent growth of 2013, according to its updated forecasts the Fed released Wednesday.

Pay is scarcely managing to keep up with even low inflation. And a high percentage of the unemployed — 35 percent — have been out of work for six months or more.

Referring to the long-term unemployed, Yellen noted: “It is conceivable that there’s some permanent damage there, too, to them, to their own well-being, their family’s well-being and the economy’s potential.”

The statement the Fed issued was nearly identical to the one it released after its last meeting in April. It reiterated its plan to keep short-term rates low “for a considerable time” after it ends its bond purchases.

Yellen was pressed to clarify what “a considerable time” might mean.

She said the Fed has no firm timetable in mind.

“There is no mechanical formula whatsoever for what ‘a considerable time’ means,” Yellen said. “It depends on how the economy progresses.”

In its updated forecasts, the Fed downgraded its expectation for growth for 2014, acknowledging that the harsh winter caused the economy to shrink in the January-March quarter. In addition, it barely raised its forecast for inflation.

The Fed expects growth to be just 2.1 percent to 2.3 percent this year, down from 2.8 percent to 3 percent in its last projections in March. It thinks inflation will be a slight 1.5 percent to 1.7 percent by year’s end, near its earlier estimate.

It foresees the unemployment rate, now at 6.3 percent, dipping to between 6 percent and 6.1 percent by the end of this year. That’s a slight improvement from the Fed’s forecast in March, when it predicted that unemployment would be as high as 6.3 percent at year’s end.

We designed two binoculars for ZEISS. The mission was to transfer the design of an existing product to two other product sizes of the same product range. It was a short project, working first with Photoshop using an existing technical package, by working close to the 3D modeler team until the final development and product visualization.

Existing product family

Here is the existing product family, the project task was to transfer the design of the Terra pocket binocular 8x25 to the Terra x32 and x42. The challenge was to achieve a strong and consistent family character by keeping some contraints like the controls which will not be changed in tooling.

Sketch process

Then we started sketching directly on Photoshop, respecting the proportions with the existing technical package. We refined more and more in details, also by showing the different bi-color schemes of the existing product range.

After validation with the client, We worked closely with the 3D modeler team with the 2D views solving the constraints of thicknesses and some small details of the product.

Product visualization

When the 3D files were finished by the 3D modelers, I did work on the visualization to end up with high quality renderings. I worked with Solidworks to separate elements in order to have an optimised 3D file ready to use in Keyhot. Then, I applied the different textures and surface treatments. After retouching in Photoshop each render, the files were ready for the client in the different needed color schemes.

The Wear Ring: Purpose, Slipping, and Solution

I want to do a post on the lesser-known Wear Ring. The wear ring is a part of the drive of a Jet Ski or more importantly Sea-Doo. The wear ring can be a love-hate relationship but serves an important role in protecting your Watercraft.

The Purpose of the Wear Ring

The reason why Seadoo does a wear ring is to protect it from any major damage that might come from not having a wear ring.

A wear ring is quite simple, it’s a thick piece of plastic that wraps around the impeller. The gap between the impeller and the wear ring is very tight because it needs to be in order to push the water out.

It’s best to think of a Jet Pump on a jet ski as a jet engine on a plane. The Jet Planes engines have blades with very tight tolerances in order to create the thrust for taking off. Jet Ski’s have very tight tolerances for the purpose to create thrust in water to have you move forward.

The problem is that water is more likely to contain debris like sticks, rocks, dirt, or sand in them. So you’re likely to suck up such debris. Some of this debris can really do damage like sticks and rocks.

So what happens when you do suck something up? Well if it’s small enough then nothing really happens. If it’s big enough it can stop the impeller and thus shut the engine off.

The good news is that the Engineers at Seadoo have figured out the solution. You can’t remove all the rocks and sticks from the lakes and oceans, but you can better prepare your watercraft for an event where it sucks something up.

So what Seadoo did and what many other manufacturers refuse to do is place a plastic guard around the impeller which will take the abuse. The idea is that it’s easier and CHEAPER to replace something that is plastic than the whole metal housing.

Other manufacturers don’t use anything to protect the impeller and its housing from damage and if you do suck something up it ends up costing you $1000’s instead of $100’s like it would if you had a wear ring.

How Often Do You Suck Stuff Up?

Sounds kind of scary doesn’t it? Sucking up rocks and stuff into the watercraft and doing damage.

The truth is that is quite rare to do it unless you’re not being careful. I’ve been playing with watercrafts for most of my life and I have yet to suck anything up. But that does not mean I’ll never suck up anything, and If I do then it’s nice knowing my Seadoo has a wear ring to help protect me the best it can.

To avoid sucking up stuff it’s best to follow some rules…

  • Always start the engine in waist deep or deeper water.
  • Avoid shallow ground and markers.
  • Avoid sucking up ropes.
  • Avoid riding after a heavy rainstorm since many sticks break free and hide in the water.
  • Avoid debris in the water like you avoid potholes in the road.
  • Always be aware of your surroundings.

I’ve seen just about anything getting sucked up into the pump of a Watercraft. Here is even a picture of someone who sucked up a Lake Map. The blue outer ring is actually the wear ring and didn’t take much damage but this little bit of paper can stop any watercraft with or without a wear ring. So make sure to avoid sucking stuff up.

Slipping Gears

One common thing many people say after damaging a wear ring is that they say it feels like its slipping gears or not shifting. Jet Ski’s do not have transmissions if the engine is on the then impeller is moving.

The forward and reverse are done by moving a bucking up and down to redirect the thrust.

The slipping or not feeling like the engine is catching until later is because the wear ring has a groove cut into it. This grove allows water to escape around the impeller instead of through the impeller. This makes the craft feel like it wants to take off and is giving you all the power in the world but you’re just not moving that much.

The reason for the Grove is due to sucking something up. It could be many things, but its best to get the machine to your local jet ski dealer to have them fix the issue.

Is the Wear Ring a Maintenance Thing

You know I’m always surprised I get this question, but many people are told lies about the wear ring. One question I get is that someone at another competing dealership says you need to replace the wear ring often, like doing it as apart of the oil change.

This is NOT true.

The wear ring only needs to be replaced if it becomes damaged. If it becomes damage its because it is protecting the drive system from any major damage do to sucking up rocks or sticks. The wear ring actually can save you some money in the event you do suck something up compared to a watercraft without a wear ring. A wear ring is a good thing.

Is a wear ring perfect? NO, but its better than the other options out there.

But Rocks Don’t Float

It can be shocking to be going or just starting your engine and you hear a noise you never heard before and the engine shuts off. Sucking up rocks is not the end of the world.

Many people believe that they didn’t do anything wrong. Some of the responses I’ve gotten from people after sucking up rocks is that “rocks don’t float, so how can I suck up rocks?”. What happens is that the engine gets started too close to land and the watercraft is basically a super powerful vacuum and will suck anything in that is close enough to the intake. Or more common is when someone drives over a shoal marker or drives over shallow water and the pump sucks up some rocks (we see this often when the lake water is down)

Its best to avoid shallow markers and always start your watercraft in water that is more than waist deep.

Don’t Flip It!!!

If you do suck something up the golden rule is to never flip the machine over. NEVER!

I don’t know where the idea came from where everyone flips over a jet ski to get to the intake, but it needs to STOP. It’s dangerous to do that and if done wrong you can do serious damage to the machine no matter who makes it.

The best thing to do is to tow it land and put it on a trailer. Disconnect the battery and then look at the intake for damage.

Or call your local Jet Ski Dealer for help.

Why Don’t They Put A Screen Over The Intake?

I get this often. A screen over the intake would solve many of the problems with sucking rocks and other debris in. But it also stops the water from coming in too.

All watercraft have an intake grate which blocks big things from coming in, but you’ll never see a mesh or anything being placed in front of the intake of a jet ski.

No matter the style of mesh you can’t place something in front of the intake to stop rocks. With engines going as high as 300HP many of the small mesh would get destroyed by the power of the engine of the watercraft.

Don’t put anything in or near the intake of the watercraft. If the mesh idea worked then the manufactures would be doing it.

Is The Wear Ring Perfect?

No, the wear ring is not perfect but it does help the whole housing. Sometimes something so big can come in and damage the wear ring and the impeller. So it’s important to be careful when riding and be aware of your surroundings.

Here is a picture of a damaged impeller and wear ring…

    • Yamaha tends to have a metal wear ring, it’s better than a plastic one but cost more to replace because it’s more of a housing than a ring like what Sea-Doo has.

  1. I have a 2008 155 gti se I went to replaced the ware ring and the old one slid right out and the new one slid right in. I assume it is not supposed to slip inside the housing. Is this causing it to rev up before it starts to take off?

    • A wear ring that is freely spinning will cause the jet ski to cavitate when taking off for sure, the wear ring should not be moving freely.

  2. I have a 2020 Sea doo GTI 130, it was absolutely fine when my friend was on it but when we switched, I started it up and the engine revs but it didn’t accelerate and felt some heavy vibration. Didn’t feel or heart anything and can’t see anything through the intake or the back.

    • It sounds like something got sucked up and thrown out. A lot of the time you won’t feel or hear anything when you suck it up because of the power of the engine.

  3. Hello, one question about accessories. I have two 2021 Sea-Doo GTX-230s. I’m 62 years old and in pretty nimble shape, but some relatives (in their 60’s) aren’t in such nimble shape. The back ladder is great, but what would be perfect is a LinQ grab bar attachment. Then someone could put a foot on the ladder and grab the grab bar, it’d be easy, instead of the current configuration where a person has to put a foot on the ladder and then try to grab the little/odd-shaped grab handle attached to the third seat. So my question is, is there a LinQ grab bar attachment, instead of a cooler (which I don’t need) or a fuel tank (which I don’t need)? Or in lieu of a LinQ grab bar attachment (the LinQ attachments are in exactly the right place for a grab bar), is there some other solution to get a grab bar there? Thanks

    • I don’t know of any accessory like that and I don’t think Sea-Doo would make something like that. I’ve had a few people complain about it being hard to get on but I think the reason why the manufacturers don’t make something is that they worry about it being a liability issue. It needs to be strong but also not in the way. I’ve seen some physical therapy places make custom grab handles to help people get on the PWC but I can’t honestly recommend them as it never looks sturdy to me.

  4. Hello, I’m a relative newbie to all this, I’m learning a lot from your site. I have two 2021 Sea-Doo GTX-230s and I love ’em. The problem is that one of them sucked up a tow rope and it was wrapped around the impeller shaft. I spent hours gingerly cutting the rope with a serrated knife (through the intake grate) and got all of the rope out with no apparent damage to the shaft or anything else. But the Sea-Doo still doesn’t work: in the water it has no reverse and at 6 mph or higher, there are large jet-streams of water (reminiscent of a Yamaha but with much more water volume) shooting out and up in the back. I’m getting IBR Module Error message. But I can’t see any other debris nor can I see any differences between my undamaged Sea-Doo and my damaged Sea-Doo. Presumably the bucket is not positioned properly but I’m just guessing. Any suggestions? Thanks very much for your site! I have one other question about an accessory but I’ll ask it separately. 🙂

    • It sounds like something is keeping the iBR from moving. It’s possible you have sucked something else besides rope into the intake either during or right after. You’ll need to get the jet ski out and someone to look at the iBR bucket to see what’s wrong.

  5. Hello steven, im impressed with your dedication with this and you seem extremely smart so I figured this is the best place to ask my question. i have a 1994 wave raider 700 and there is quite a bit of vibration at idle and slight throttle, once you get up and going it goes away. it also takes awhile to get up on plane and is about 10 or so mph slower then my buddys 700 ( same engine). it hits rev limiter at full throttle and about half throttle is where its max speed of around 30-35 is at. based on your replies i figured it was the wear ring but the impeller is also dinged up. could the vibrations be from the impeller and wear ring or could that be drive shaft? thank you.

    • Yes, a damaged impeller can cause what you described. The impeller and housing/wear ring need to be perfect or cavitation happens and other odd things too.

  6. I have a 1995 seadoo hx that seems to overheat and shuts down and hard to start after 20 min when run it at the lake, but when i hook up the hose to it on the trailer runs cool and fine all lines seem to be clear i was wondering if yoy might have any idas

    • The intake of the hose and the intake from the pump are different so you have something blocking the pump from sucking water into the system.

  7. What is stance on metal versus plastic wear rings for sea doo sparks? I take big groups out to the lake at times and despite my instructions get a broken plastic wear ring 1-2 times a year. It is an annoyance and I am seriously considering going metal.

    • For sure go with a metal wear ring if you can. The wear ring on the Spark is more flimsy compared to the bigger models so metal is a must.

  8. 2018 Sea Doo GTS – I do lake riding and this is my first PWC. We don’t have a dock or pier to use except when unloading. I am pretty sure I damaged my wear ring last time out due to beaching the craft. I was in a rush and started the GTS in about knee deep water. It feels exactly like you described, a slipping clutch. Ive checked the grate under and nothing is stuck, nothing on the impeller shaft, and I flushed the GTS out w hose. I put in and the power only hits enough to get the thing moving, like it has thrust until the nose levels off then its nothing.

    Do you think it is a wear ring?
    How much is involved to replace the ring?
    I have basic skills as I grew up working on my motocross bikes.
    I am certainly not fluent in jet ski, I’ve only replaced plugs and changed the oil.

    For future reference, I guess it is best to leave the GTS floating and swim out or push out to deeper water? Is it frowned upon to beach skis like boats do? Thanks!

    • It sounds like a damage wear ring, sometimes the sticks and rock can hide from you when looking through the intake. The price will vary from dealership to dealership but around 300 to 600 is common. If you do it yourself it will be around 50 to 200 depending on what parts are needed. A GTS doesn’t have an iBR so it should be easy to do if you got basic skills working on powersports things. You should only start a jet ski in more than waist-deep water. Once I get to waist deep I jump on the ski while pushing away from shore to get me in deeper water when I board.

    • So I fixed problem it was the floating bearing it was shot now I notice 2 stoke oil line was leaking went to local boat shop the didn’t have exact size hose it was bit bigger wondering if that could foul my plucgs? Took to lake I could only reach 20 tops and and died and would not start up till few hours later and also while driving it seem to mis a bit ran good before hose replaced

  9. Hi Steven,
    2018 GTI90SE about 22 hours cruising at the lake today when all of a sudden, the sea doo stopped moving but the engine remained on. Tried to apply throttle again, it does rev up but still won’t move forward or reverse although it does seem to move a bit on idle. Turned engine off and on again but machine still won’t move. Engine does turn on. Ended up being towed back to the ramp by good samaritans.
    Please advice.

    • If the engine is on the impeller is moving, what controls forward and reverse is a bucket in the rear redirecting thrust. Something is keeping the impeller from moving, could be a stripped driveshaft? I would get this to a repair shop to have them look at it as this is not normal.

  10. Steven i start by saying your blog is excelent and the fact you havd stayed active on it so long is very impressive. My wife crossed at sand bar and sucked up lots of gravel and the wear ring is shot. I also see a lot of abrasion on the blades… question is should i replace the wear ring and impeller seperatley including all the orings and grease work or is it possible to buy a complete new pump assembly as one preassembled unit?
    2005 seadoo GTX 4 tec cheers

    • You should for sure get a new impeller, sometimes you can grind down the spurs if the damage is not bad enough. Rocks do some big damage to the impeller and often you need to replace them. I’m not aware of any housing kits, you must buy them separately.

  11. I recently picked up a 96 sea doo hx. It starts right up but kinda puts around and seems like it’s almost the propelling is moving freely. Every so often (maybe 15 seconds) it was rev up super high but doesn’t feel like it should get going where it should be. Never gets past 1/3 throttle speed. Could may be a wear ring?

    • It could be a fuel line or a dirty carb especially since it’s a 2-stroke. If it was a bad wear ring it wouldn’t be acting up every so often, it would be every time.
