4 Simple Home Maintenance Tasks for Moms to Take On

There are numerous projects that always need to be done around the house. Some may be more involved than others. Here are some maintenance tasks that moms can take on in their free time.

Patching Drywall Holes

Everyone has those annoying holes in their walls. Smaller holes are much easier to patch than larger holes. Nails and screws leave their marks on your walls. These types of holes are simple to repair. Just clean up the area and use a little bit of spackle to cover the hole. Lightly sand and paint over the spot. For larger holes, consider using a hole patching kit. This will involve applying the plate and then spackling it into the wall. It will take several spacklings and sanding sessions to make that hole disappear. Take your time. You don’t want to notice the patch every time you walk into the room.

Get a Stuck Window Open

Older windows can get sometimes get painted shut. Even newer windows can become dirty and seal themselves. The best way to get these windows open is the clean out the debris that is causing them to be stuck. Use a putty knife and remove the debris. You may even want to use a lubricant to dissolve some of it. Do some research online to determine your best course of action depending on the type of window that you are trying to open. Once you are able to open the window, make sure to clean it completely. You don’t want to have a repeat of the window getting stuck.

Repairing a Garage Door Opener

The first step of repairing a garage door opener is to inspect it. You need to determine what is wrong with it before attempting a repair. You will also need to be mindful of any hazards. Make sure that you are able to open and close the garage door without using the opener. If you can’t, the problem is with the tracks of the door and not the garage door opener itself. Determine if there is an electrical problem with the opener. Read the manual or research the opener online. If everything appears to be in good condition, it might be time to replace your opener.

Fix a Running Toilet

A toilet that continually runs wastes a huge amount of water. This is a fairly easy fix. Remove the lid from the toilet tank and look at the parts inside. These parts start to degrade over time. Using bleach toilet tabs accelerates this deterioration. Purchase a toilet repair kit. Turn the water off for the toilet and drain the tank. Replace the parts that aren’t in good condition. Turn the water back on and test it out. Hopefully, the toilet will stop running when it’s full. Make sure to adjust the lever so that the toilet doesn’t overfill.

Completing some home maintenance tasks doesn’t require a great deal of skill. Anyone can accomplish these tasks using a little bit of elbow grease. Try doing these tasks to gain some home improvement know how.

Acadie-Chaleur Ground Search and Rescue on the lookout for new home

Acadie-Chaleur Ground Search and Rescue is looking for a new home.

Each year the group is left scrambling to find a place to park vehicles and store equipment.

President Daniel Hache says the group is working with the City of Bathurst to find a more permanent solution.

The organization's gear is currently being stored in a city garage, but Hache says a lack of parking makes that arrangement less-than idea.

The 32 year old group has around 30 members and an annual operating budget between $7,000 and $10,000.

Province teams up with UNB to create classroom digital literacy standards

The New Brunswick government is working with the University of New Brunswick to create digital literacy standards for classrooms in the province.

It says the move will help ensure students are able to protect themselves online and are prepared to take advantage of opportunities in the modern economy.

The provincial government and the university are splitting the $80,000 cost to have a PhD student develop the new standards.

Consultations with teachers, industry professionals and government will be held once a draft of new digital literacy standards is complete and the province says one of the project's long-term goals is to have the standards adopted across Canada.

AN Inquiry Of Your Market Parameters Establishing THE Being successful Of Economic

The financial symptom in organization is to look into the behaviour of particular person businesses as suppliers and clients in micro economics and aggregate nationwide salary or absolute location income in macro economics exploration. I wish to exhibit that examining providers by getting started with originally in knowing the relatively easy factors (mini-business economics) and changing to setting up more complicated commercial enterprise situations (macro-business economics) really is as realistic as mountaineering a tree for the floor inside the trunk in place of of the foliage on the top.assignment help Meaning of managerial business economics: Managerial economics, preferred synonymously with business venture economics, may be a branch of economics that handles the use of microeconomic investigation to plan-generating tactics of establishments and treatment machines.

As per literature in business economics by (Barro, 1993, glossary, p. 594), the term mini foundations point out the microeconomic analysis of the habits of individual realtors such as houses or businesses that underpins a macroeconomic theory and habits of providers operating.

Also substances in literature by (G. Chris Rodrigo “Micro and macro: the economic separate,” up-to-date: Mar 28, 2012, “Coexistence and Complementarity,” Para. 10) declares that, “Microeconomics will be based upon types of shoppers or providers (which economists telephone call solutions) that makes steps as to what to purchase, promote, or come up with-using supposition those moves give you ideal target market clearing (growing demand is equal to resource) and also other great factors. Macroeconomics, nevertheless, set about from witnessed divergences from what would have been predicted effects according to the conventional customs. Nowadays the 2 grounds coexist and fit the other person.” This produces equilibrium from mini and macro economics and unites business economics into what exactly it is; only one self-control. Micro and macro-monetary venture evaluation unites economics as a good discipline to make sure of a beneficial strategy for tactical positioning of economic for inevitable successes. An incredible controversy has appeared between the two (Purists) who presume and help and support Micro and macro-fiscal home business analysis and its particular reliability like a feasible spousal relationship in starting up by examining small factors from the organisation and the (Pragmatists’ ) unfounded, worthless, very unlikely and frail retaliations to the basic fact joining together business economics because it was founded via the founding fathers of fiscal analysis, who cannot turn out how small designs at person and hard quantity of firm could be produced by aggregate or full economic climate parameters.The Small and macro-financial industry exploration makes sure that macro business economics specifics are inside reliable in just macro business economics themselves because they build macro basics develop by now identified small financial online business ideas and factors which could be already internally absolutely consistent within their study and

that is why will not necessitate any restructuring or switching in the offered macro-started tactic that has been suggested through the fears of misdirected “Pragmatists” as well as other analysis, offer, version or idea. The disparities have the foundations and interior consistency of factors in to the foundations. We ” purists” can demonstrate in utilizing qualitative and quantitative exploration applying the strength and constancy of mini financial foundations during small economics on its own in addition to that macro business economics variables and foundations are important and uniform among ourselves but in addition how small monetary foundations can not be created, deciphered or produced neither depending on macro key points, parameters, models and practices which has been created due to mini studies.It could be nice to remember that Mini and macro-economic business assessment is not separated into mini and macro exploration but is an in the case of unity. The macro style is an little one of mini study plus the study is constant with economics given that it were actually by itself founded in the founding fathers of business economics.

Chair for Medical Imaging for Interventional Therapies

The "Medical Imaging for Interventional Therapies" Chair, held by François Rousseau, lecturer at IMT Atlantique and member of LATIM U1101 INSERM, (French National Institute of Health and Medical Research Laboratory of Medical Information Processing), seeks to contribute to research on an international level in the field of health and medicine of the future. Created in 2015, this chair has made it possible to launch research projects on the computation of high resolution medical images and the dynamic modelisation of joint movement.

The introduction of Information and Communication Science (STIC) has revolutionised the paradigm of the therapeutic gesture, taking it from a linear procedure (Decision-Action-Test) to a constant process of decision optimisation, relying on the continuous acquisition and processing of multimodal information. Since 1996, LATIM (Laboratory of Medical Information Processing) has been developing multidisciplinary STIC and Health research led by members of the University of West Brittany, IMT Atlantique, INSERM and the University Research Hospital (CHRU) of Brest. In early 2015, INSERM and IMT Atlantique created a chair in the field of medial imaging, held by François Rousseau.

Within the framework of the modelisation of body movements and their interactions, and with the desire to develop a personalised approach for patients, the chair's research work focusses on three aspects in particular:

  • geometric modelisation of the structures involved (bones, muscles and ligaments) taken from in-vivo images
  • biomechanical modelisation
  • functional modelisation

Within this context, two doctoral theses (one of which is co-financed by the Brittany Region) started in October 2015 and 2016 on the following subjects:

  1. The analysis of MRI dynamic data: "Developing dynamic MRI for the study of the musculoskeletal system in movement", (Department of Imaging and Information Processing (ITI) IMT Atlantique).
  2. The reconstruction of high resolution images: "Local adaptive representations for the super-resolution and segmentation of medical images", ITI Department, IMT Atlantique.

January 5, 2013, Portland OR. (ISN) – The Portland Winterhawks have signed 18-year-old defenseman Shaun MacPherson, who will join the team immediately for the remainder of the season.

MacPherson, 6’1”, 200 pounds, began the season with the Kindersley Klippers of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, and posted three goals and 15 assists for 18 points in 32 games. He was named the league’s Rookie of the Month for December.

MacPherson, a native of Edmonton, Alberta, took part in the Winterhawks’ training camp in August, and has been on the team’s protected list since then.

Team Canada recap & results: Day 12 (July 16)

Michel Belanger

July 17, 2013, KAZAN, Russia (Team Canada) (ISN) – It was a festival of fourth-place finishes for Canada on the penultimate day of competition at the 27th Summer Universiade, on Tuesday.

Canada was kept off the podium for the second straight day at the FISU Games. The red and white’s tally still stands at 15 medals (2-5-8), good for a tie for 17th in the overall standings.

Team Canada Twitter: @CDNUniversiade | #gocanada

Summer Universiade website:

Canadians finished just outside the podium in no less than six events on Tuesday, including men’s basketball and women’s water polo, as well as four swimming finals.

In men’s hoops, after dropping a 78-68 decision to host Russia in Monday’s semifinals, the Canucks couldn’t recover in the bronze-medal match and lost 87-74 against Serbia. The game was a rematch of the 2011 final also won by the Serbians, 68-55.

Serbia jumped to a 24-16 lead after the first quarter and was ahead by 10 at halftime, 47-37. Canada responded with a 26-14 domination in the third to lead by two after 30 minutes but collapsed in the fourth stanza.

The Serbians, who came into the tournament as defending two-time champions, were sent to the free throw line 37 times and converted 26 of their opportunities, compared to 9-of-14 for Canada.

Dwight Powell of Toronto, with 12 points, Thomas Scrubb of Richmond, B.C., with 11, and Daniel Mullings of Toronto, with 10, scored in double figures for Canada, which ends the competition with a 6-2 overall record.

“We were in a heck of a ball game with five minutes to go,” said head coach Jay Triano, describing the frenetic pace of the opening minutes of the fourth quarter when Canada pushed ahead by four points only to see the game tied up again moments later.

“We had wide-open threes and we had drives to the basket where either they made good plays or the whistle didn’t blow,” explained Triano. “We have to do a better job of keeping guys in front of us and do a better job of finishing plays strong and getting to the free throw line.”

In women’s water polo, Canada had to settle for fourth place for the second time in three tournaments since the sport was added to the Universiade program in 2009 following a heartbreaking 6-5 loss to Italy.

The Canadian women had finished fourth in the inaugural FISU Games tourney four years ago in Belgrade, Serbia, and sixth in 2011 in Shenzhen, China.

In a low scoring affair that saw both sides play exceptional defence, the teams were separated by two goals for only 41 seconds, when Gloria Giachi scored what would prove to be the game-winner with 2:02 left in regulation to put the Italians up 6-4.

Shae Fournier of Winnipeg was again exceptional despite the loss with three goals, upping her tournament total to a team-leading 16 in six contests.

“Our goal coming into the tournament was to win a medal,” said head coach Andrew Robinson, whose troops end the competition with a 3-3 overall record. “Obviously, it’s always disappointing when you come this close. However, we brought a young team here and playing two games for a medal, in the semis against Hungary and tonight, that’s invaluable experience for this group.”

In swimming, Canada was in seven finals on the last night at the pool but just couldn’t reach the podium. The swim meet concludes on Wednesday with the women’s and men’s 10-kilometre open water races.

Brittany MacLean of Etobicoke, Ont., in the women’s 400-metre freestyle (4:08.95), Katerine Savard of Pont-Rouge, Que., in the women’s 200 butterfly (2:11.02) and Alec Page of Cortes Island, B.C. in the men’s 400 medley (4:18.56) all finished fourth in individual events.

Suffering the same fate was the women’s 4×100 medley relay of Savard, Brooklyn Snodgrass of Calgary, Tera Van Beilen of Oakville, Ont., and Sandrine Mainville of Boucherville, Que. (4:03.44).

Other Canadians in finals included Savannah King of Vernon, B.C., who placed fifth in the women’s 400 free (4:10.48); Tianna Rissling of Redcliff, Alta., sixth in the women’s 50 breaststroke (31.56); Mainville, eighth in the women’s 50 free (25.46); Stephanie Horner of Beaconsfield, Que., eighth in the women’s 200 fly (2:17.00); and the relay team of Russell Wood of Calgary, Richard Funk of Edmonton, Coleman Allen of Barrie, Ont., and Dominique Massie-Martel of Ottawa, sixth in the men’s 4×100 medley (3:39.28).

“Fourth is bittersweet,” said Page. “It just means we’re not that far away from a medal and not that far from the top of the podium.”

“It was a hard night,” added Savard. “I’m not used to racing that much. I think I have to learn and train more. I will work on that.”

In rugby sevens, a sport making its Universiade debut in Kazan, the Canadian women started the day on the right foot with a 33-7 quarter-final win over China but lost 31-5 to host Russia in the afternoon semifinals.

Canada held its own early on against the Russians and trailed only 12-5 going into the break, but was outscored 19-0 in the second half.

The red and white (3-2) will face Great Britain (5-1) in bronze medal match Wednesday at 3:40 a.m. ET (11:40 a.m. Kazan).

On the men’s side, the Canucks (3-2) blanked Latvia 19-0 in a consolation semifinal and will get a chance to finish ninth when they battle Georgia (3-2) Wednesday at 2:25 a.m. ET (10:25 a.m. Kazan).

In men’s soccer, Canada (2-2-2) defeated Malaysia 3-1 to finish the 15-team FISU tournament in seventh position. It marks the second best result in history for the Canadian men, trailing only a fourth-place finish in 2007 in Bangkok, Thailand.

Marco Visintin of Vancouver (40th minute), Matt Medoruma of Lethbridge, Alta. (49th) and Mario Kovacevic of Woodbridge, Ont. (83th) scored in the win.

Finally, in shooting, Jeremy Gyoerick of Prince Albert, Sask., finished 29th in the qualification round of the 50-metre rapid fire pistol and failed to advance to the second phase. In women’s competition, Christine King, also of Prince Albert, placed 41st in 25-metre precision shooting and 43rd in rapid fire, while Kelsey Bjorkman of Fenton, Sask., finished 44th and 35th in the same events. Neither advanced to the semifinals.

Canada (6-2) loses 87-74 to Serbia (7-1) in bronze medal match, finishes fourth.

Canada (3-2) wins 19-0 over Latvia (2-3) in consolation semifinal, will face Georgia (3-2) in consolation final for ninth place Wednesday at 2:25 a.m. ET (10:25 a.m. Kazan).

Canada (3-3) wins 33-7 over China (2-3) in quarter-final, loses 31-5 to Russia (6-0) in semifinal, will face Great Britain (5-1) in bronze medal match Wednesday at 3:40 a.m. ET (11:40 a.m. Kazan).

Rockets, Huska agree to three year extension

Kelowna Rockets-(1)

Kevin Parnell

August 28, 2013, Kelowna, BC (ISN) – Kelowna Rockets President/GM Bruce Hamilton announced on Wednesday that the Rockets have agreed to terms with head coach Ryan Huska on a three year contract extension.

The extension will begin following the 2013-14 Western Hockey League season and will keep Huska under contract with the Rockets through the 2016-17 season.

“We’re thrilled to have Ryan signed long-term,” said Hamilton. “We understand and we encourage his goals to move along and advance his career. This ensures that he’s going to be in Kelowna as long as he’s coaching in the WHL.”

Huska is entering his seventh season as the Rockets head coach and 12th year as a member of the Rockets’ coaching staff. This summer he added to an already impressive resume, which includes four Memorial Cup championships, by being inducted into the B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame as a player with the Kamloops Blazers.

Last year Huska led the Rockets to the WHL BC Division title, a franchise record 52 win season and a Kelowna-record 23 game home winning streak. His teams in Kelowna have never finished below .500.

“I’m very thankful for the opportunity to have the contract extended,” said Huska. “I appreciate the opportunity to work with this organization and to work with the people I have over the years. I’m really excited for the opportunity we have here in the next couple of years. I’d like to thank the Hamilton family for their faith in me and our coaching staff.”

Huska won three Memorial Cups as a player and then in 2004 was on the Rockets’ bench as an assistant coach, winning his fourth championship. In 2008-09 he guided the Rockets to a WHL championship and a second place finish at the Memorial Cup. Huska also won a silver and bronze medal as an assistant coach with Team Canada’s World Junior Hockey team.

“What Ryan brings is more than just coaching,” said Hamilton. “He’s a quality person and he has surrounded himself with a quality coaching staff that are working their way to being in position to move up as coaches.”

Huska and the Rockets will open up the WHL exhibition season this weekend, hosting the Kamloops Blazers on Friday night and playing in Kamloops on Saturday.

The Rockets home opener is Sept. 21.

Rosneft to foray in Indian retail fuel sector: Pradhan

Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], June 19 (ANI): Union Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Dharmendra Pradhan on Sunday revealed that Rosneft, the oil industry leader in Russia, is looking to venture into the Indian retail fuel sector.
Speaking to media post the inauguration of the City Gas Distribution Project here, Pradhan said an investment to the value of USD 13 billion was invested in the preceding financial year, which was hailed as one of the largest deals in the industry.
The company, which recently took over Essar Oil, is expected to get a 49 percent stake in the latter's shares, using which the company is looking to expand its global footprint.
The USD 12.9 billion deal is projected to be implemented by July 2017, and will be the largest acquisition by a foreign firm in the Indian market.
Speaking about the City Gas Distribution Project, Pradhan said the project would entail an investment of Rs. 6,283 crore, and would be implemented across India's Silicon Valley by GAIL India Ltd.
Pradhan also stressed on the importance of natural gas, and said the city would be connected with clean fuel and for the transport sector.
Furthermore, he highlighted the government's vision to introduce a policy to ban the fuel oil and put more pressure on the usage of Natural Gas, adding that in the coming years, the IT hub will have latest quality power. (ANI)

Sorry I was hugging my iPhone tightly. Android users check out the video of the security hole found in your devices after the jump.

Follow Tat WZA on Twitter/G+

Shotta Dru on Google+

If Google was just starting to forget about the Android malware threats from earlier this year, now it has another security headache: Researchers at North Carolina State University just discovered a new vulnerability in some of the most popular Android phones being sold today.

The security flaw, described in detail in this white paper, is specific to a certain implementation of the Android operating system, the researchers say, so it doesnâ€™t necessarily affect all Android phones. Most Android handset makers integrate their own software (sometimes called â€œbloatwareâ€) on top of the basic Android OS (for example, HTCâ€™s Sense interface) to serve up various services and differentiate themselves.

But that software is exactly whatâ€™s opening up certain phones to malware threats, the research says. Dr. Xuxian Jiang led a team that looked at multiple Android devices, and found that some of the pre-loaded applications that various manufacturers put in, like text-message notifiers, created a â€œbackdoorâ€ to the phone that third parties could exploit.

What sort of problems could arise? That depends on what sort of malware those hackers use. Theoretically, the vulnerability could be used to install software that records phone calls, send text messages, or even wipe the phoneâ€™s settings, according to Science Daily. Itâ€™s not clear if hackers could use the backdoor to actually â€œrootâ€ the phone, but if itâ€™s possible, all bets are off.

The good news: the researchers also tested phones running stock Android, and those phones were â€œbasically clean,â€ Jiang says. So was the Motorola Droid.

But many other popular phones are vulnerable. The research specifically names the HTC Legend, EVO 4G, and Wildfire S; the Motorola Droid X; and the Samsung Epic 4G. Most at risk are users of the EVO 4G, which displayed the most vulnerabilities. The EVO is the third most popular smartphone in the U.S., according to research from NPD.

Short of throwing your cellphone away, there are easy ways Android users can guard against malware. First and foremost: download only from trusted sources, like the Google Android Market. While the Market doesnâ€™t have a 100% spotless record on malware, itâ€™s still the biggest and most secure app store for Android, and when Google learns of any problem, it acts fast.

Besides that, users should use a screen password, install OS updates as soon as theyâ€™re available for your device, and caution from viewing sensitive information over public Wi-Fi. Finally, several security companies, such as Lookout and Norton, have free security apps that will help protect your phone from becoming a nest for viruses and trojans.

Jiangâ€™s research is ongoing â€” heâ€™s going further into the Android device catalog to see if any more phones are vulnerable to the same problem. Mashable contacted Google, Samsung, HTC and Motorola about the report, and weâ€™ll update this story with any responses.

Cytokine profiles in spontaneously regressing basal cell carcinomas

Buy Article:

$43.00 plus tax (Refund Policy)

Background Basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) can cause considerable morbidity due to their ability to enlarge progressively and to destroy underlying tissues. However, some BCCs may undergo spontaneous regression in the absence of therapy capable of inducing antineoplastic effects. Histological criteria for this process have been described, and previous studies have suggested that it may be mediated by infiltrating activated CD4-positive T cells. Objectives The purpose of this study was to compare the expression of cytokines in actively regressing and non-regressing BCCs, to ascertain if active regression is associated with a particular cytokine profile. Methods Reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction, a sensitive, quantitative technique allowing analysis of multiple cytokines from small tumour samples, was used. Results Interferon (IFN)-γ was significantly elevated in actively regressing BCCs compared with non-regressing BCCs. Furthermore, interleukin (IL)-2, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-β and CD3δ tended to be elevated in actively regressing tumours, although not to statistically significant levels. IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-10, TNF-β, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and Fas ligand showed strong positive correlations with CD3δ, indicating an association between infiltrating T cells and these cytokines. Conclusions These findings support a role for T-helper 1 type cytokines in mediating spontaneous regression of BCCs.

The historical spread of Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. in France from herbarium records

Buy Article:

$43.00 plus tax (Refund Policy)

Abstract Aim

The problems in public health and field management in France caused by Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. require a better knowledge of the introduction and naturalization of this species in both the past and present. Location

France. Methods

The pattern of spread of A. artemisiifolia was investigated through the study of herbarium specimens. More than 1200 specimens were found in 58 herbaria and virtual herbaria in France and in bordering countries. The spread was analysed by mapping the localities for each 30-year period since 1863. Specific indications as ‘new plant’ were used to determine the timing of the introduction of the species into a new area. Results

It seems that the spread of A. artemisiifolia is not linked to its presence in botanical gardens. The study of specimen labels indicates that this species has been introduced in France in seed crops at various independent geographical points and at various times since its introduction in natural habitats. Commercial trade and American troops have contributed to its spread. Main conclusions

The spread of the species in area and in time over France showed no clear front: new localities separated by large distances were colonized simultaneously. Cumulative numbers of localities show a continuous increase during the twentieth century. Herbarium specimens can be used to follow the spread of A. artemisiifolia.

Ease of Setup

Quick and easy

An Innova inflatable can be setup, or put away in its bag, in less than 10 minutes – honest!

Everyone’s Travel Club inflates an Innova Helios II inflatable kayak

Compared with folding kayaks (which also travel well), boat setup time is quicker and easier (Innova boats set up in under 10 minutes…and you won’t need a degree in mechanical engineering).

Compared with rigid kayaks, in the time it takes to rig your roof rack and tie down your boat, you could have been out kayaking an hour ago.

The below photo by Rémi Bénali shows adventurer, Kira Salak, inflating her Innova Safari on the start of her 600-mile journey down the Niger river to Timbuktu.

Hiring Self-Storage Managers

7 Tips for Hiring a Great Self-Storage Manager

Self-storage managers must have a number of skills including sales, customer service, technology and more. Finding the right candidate who embodies all of them can be difficult. Here are seven things facility owners should consider when hiring their next self-storage manager.

By Aycha Williams

As a self-storage owner, how big of a role would you say your facility manager plays in the successful performance of your property? Would you agree the job requires the manager to wear many hats and entails covering a lot of ground on a daily basis? Here are just some of managers' daily tasks:

  • Selling on the phone and face-to-face, and selling ancillary products and services
  • Meeting and exceeding monthly occupancy and other sales goals while providing excellent customer service
  • Marketing the property to businesses and apartments on an ongoing basis
  • Maintaining the facility so it functions at its best
  • Providing weekly reports to upper management
  • Price shopping the competition to ensure rates are where they should be
  • Responding to Internet leads, which have not only become the main source of business for many facilities but are also the most urgent, as prospects will move on to the next property in their search results

These tasks make for a busy and extremely demanding workload, and even the best site managers may have difficulty delivering their fullest in all areas. This is why most large operators focus on automating processes to limit the managers role to tasks that are physically done on site. This way, they can focus on selling to walk-in customers while the call center handles incoming calls, for example. Managers can also give emphasis to site cleanliness and functionalities while letting corporate handle marketing, specials and necessary reports.

However, if youre a small to mid-size operator, you may not have the resources and systems in place to concentrate your site managers efforts in this way. What you can do is clearly define the parameters of the managers responsibilities so youll have a more targeted approach when hiring.

If you were hiring a facility manager today, what skills would you look for? The first qualification should be sales experiencethe natural ability to sell regardless of product or serviceplus a basic knowledge of the sales cycle in a retail environment. Notice I didnt say to look for someone with industry experience. Sure, it may be nice to come across a candidate with a self-storage background, but its not necessary. A candidate with great retail-sales experience is a perfect fit.

Here are seven tips to consider when hiring your next self-storage manager.

1. Hire a Retail-Sales Professional

You need someone who understands the sales cycle. The candidate should have a proven track record in closing sales over the phone and in person. He should be familiar with delivering on monthly sales and occupancy goals while knowing how to run and operate a store. The candidate should have at least a proficient level of computer and management-software skills.

Sound familiar? Im essentially describing anyone who comes from a great retail-sales background. Think of Home Depot, Target or Walmart. Dont feel pressured to search for candidates limited to the self-storage industry, and dont undersell your facility by looking at those with little or no experience. Open your search to retail-sales professionals and youll access a large base of qualified prospects.

2. Customer-Service Skills Reign

Chances are the retail professional youre interviewing will naturally have great customer-service skills. All large retailers have extensive training programs for employees.

The self-storage business is all about word-of-mouth and referrals. With the power of the Internet, communications about your facility is spreading fast via online reviews and posts. Therefore, looking for excellent service skills and a natural aptitude for pleasing customers will be the second most important quality to look for in a candidate.

3. Understanding Accounting and Finance

Its important to share the facilitys financial goals with property managers. Managers should be provided with their facilitys monthly and annual goals for occupancy, ancillary sales and total revenue. You can then share, on a weekly basis, facility performance as a result of their efforts. This allows them to see their progress and proactively fix areas before they become troubling.

For a manager to understand your annual financial goals, he needs a basic understanding of numbers. Its important for a site manager to be able to read a simple budget sheet and make sense of profit-and-loss statements.

4. A Techno-Friendly Attitude

This era is one of communications, and the Internet certainly has changed how we do business in the self-storage industry. In the old days, minimal computer knowledge was acceptable. Today, facility operators are looking for managers who are Internet-savvy. Using online tools to follow up with prospects and keep tabs on time-sensitive information such as new leads or online reviews is only possible with a good knowledge of technology.

Upper management is also looking to communicate in real time with site managers, and online tools such as Google Documents makes this possible. Computer skills and technology knowledge is of upmost importance to look for in a candidate.

5. Accountability Counts

One of the qualities that may be hard to gauge during an interview process is a prospects commitment and accountability. Theres nothing like being able to delegate tasks and expect them to be completed promptly and accurately.

Number of years of experience at each of the previous jobs may tell something about the candidates skills and accountability. Nevertheless, the personality trait that allows a manager to run a property like his own is not easy to measure by a simple interview. You must rely on your instincts when making a decision on accountability and hope you make the right decision. The next tip for a successful hire will hopefully take the guesswork out of gauging accountability.

6. Conduct a Pre-Hire Test

Its not uncommon for an impressive candidate to fail to deliver once hired. He may have many years of experience and excel in the interview, but 30 days down the road, you come to the conclusion that no level of training can remedy his weaknesses and you have to let him go. Youve now lost an invaluable month of time and have to start all over again in your search.

The great news is there are several companies that provide aptitude-testing solutions to take the guessing out of the equation. For example, you can use an online hire testing interface that measures sales- and customer-service skills and personality traits. Yes, that includes measuring a sense of responsibility and commitment. Whats more, testing of basic mathematical skills and computer skills are also offered.

Everything is completed online and results are e-mailed with a detailed report. Based on the data, the system either recommends, highly recommends or doesnt recommend a candidate for the position. The results of various candidates can be compared through the online interface, which creates an archive of all completed tests. Using a new-hire assessment tool is essential to ensure you have the right employee to run your facility.

7. Background Checks Are a Must

These are essential to avoid any undesired surprises, such as a bad driving record or worse. Again, there are several companies that offer this service, including those specific to self-storage. For a minimal cost, youll know youre leaving your property in good hands.

Follow the hiring steps above, and chances are youll have a great, long-term storage manager in place in no time. Best of luck.

Banishing boredom since 2010

At a Glance

Quote from "Revolutionary Restaurants," by Charles W. Ebeling
Invention & Technology Magazine
Spring 2007 Vol. 22, Issue 4

How the idea of the revolving restaurant was perfected technologically by John Graham:

It was an intriguing idea, but not a simple one. How could it be managed? At first glance the way to do it seemed to be to install the restaurant in a separate round casing on top of the main building and rotate the entire structure. But that introduced serious engineering problems. The load to be carried would be excessive, as would the forces created by wind. The alternative was to rotate only the dining area, keeping the peripheral walls, the ceiling, and the central service areas stationary. This approach would have its own challenges, including figuring out the speed of rotation people could handle while dining and stepping on and off rotating areas.

Graham’s engineers proceeded to design a 16-foot-wide cog-driven turntable, ring-shaped like a doughnut. Unlike smaller turntables and merry-go-rounds, it couldn’t be powered from a central shaft, for the center of the ring wouldn’t be rotating. Rather the doughnut would be mounted on flanged wheels riding on a circular track under its flooring. Food would be prepared in a kitchen on the floor below and elevated to the immobile central service area by a dumbwaiter. La Ronde opened in 1961, and in 1964 Graham obtained the first U.S. patent for a revolving restaurant.

Revolving Restaurants in the Americas (Various Locations)

By Phil Dotree — December 14, 2010, updated March 19, 2011

Depending on your point of view, revolving restaurants are either an unnecessary luxury or a brilliant example of fine architecture. One thing is indisputable: a revolving restaurant can offer a great panoramic experience for diners, and more often than not, the restaurants tend to be major stops for vacation-goers and sightseers.

built in 1959, the 219.6-meter (720.47-foot) florianturm TV tower in Dortmund germany, may have had the world's first revolving restaurant. This was followed by similar restaurants in frankfurt, cairo, and honolulu. (Photo:

For those who have never been in a revolving restaurant, they’re exactly what they sound like; a restaurant set atop a revolving platform, usually far above a city or landscape. The rotation of the restaurant allows customers to get an amazing look at the ground below during a meal. Many revolving restaurants are regularly rented out for parties, wedding receptions, and similar events.

There are hundreds of revolving restaurants across the world, including dozens in 25 U.S. states. However, the idea that a restaurant could safely revolve on specially-made, massive platters, originated in Germany. According to many experts, a rotating restaurant at the top of a large narrow tower provided the inspiration for the rest of the world—the 219.6 meter (720.5-foot) Florianturm (Florian Tower, “Florian” for short) the landmark TV tower of Dortmund, built in 1959 with a revolving restaurant at the 137.54-meter (451.2-foot) level. However, it’s disputed whether this was the actual first revolving restaurant in the world.

Regardless, the concept of the revolving restaurant was fairly novel at the time, and the idea quickly spread—people enjoyed the idea of eating far above a city and marveled at the space-age architecture that allowed rotation. Revolving restaurants quickly sprung up around the world, most boasting rotation speeds of about 1–3 rotations per hour. After Dortmund, revolving restaurants appeared in Frankfurt, Germany, and Cairo, Egypt.

The revolving restaurant was introduced to the United States in 1961, reportedly independent of its German predecessors. The restaurant, La Ronde, revolved on a 16-foot turntable system in the Ala Moana office building in Hawaii. It was an engineering masterpiece; its architect, John Graham, designed the building so that the dining platform would rotate independent of the rest of the building.

The La Ronde became a sort of archetype for American revolving restaurants, although many sightseers (including some visitors) misunderstood the mechanism of the revolving restaurant. To this day, there’s a prevailing myth that revolving restaurants usually consist of a building with a separate, rotating structure on top. Graham’s design was much more practical, because a disk-shaped revolving dining platform with a hole at the center for the building's core would pose fewer safety challenges and carry a lower cost. (Graham patented his design in 1964.) Thus, the platform revolves around the core; the building as a whole does not rotate about its axis.

1960s Postcard photo of night view of the huge ala moana shopping center and the la ronde revolving restaurant atop the Ala moana office building (indicated by red arrow at upper left of photo) , the work of seattle architect john graham.

Graham didn’t stop there. He also designed the revolving restaurant on the top of the Space Needle in Seattle, Washington, using many of the same concepts and engineering techniques that he’d perfected at La Ronde.

(Editor's Note: While the Century 21 Exposition, Seattle’s 1962 World’s Fair, was still in the planning stage, the fair’s chairman, Edward E. Carlson, visited a restaurant atop the 712-foot-high Stuttgart Tower, a chimneylike reinforced concrete structure having elevators inside that brought diners to a multilevel barrel-shaped restaurant. The Stuttgart restaurant did not revolve, but he brought back postcards of the tower, and everyone involved in the Seattle World's Fair decided that a similar tower could symbolize not just the fair, but the city of Seattle itself, long after the expo concluded. When John Graham was shown a very rough sketch of the tower, John Graham immediately said, “Let’s make the restaurant revolve.”)

The Space needle of seattle, Washington, was originally built for the 1962 world's fair. At the top is its revolving restaurant, skycity.

The restaurant, SkyCity, uses a 14-foot carousel to rotate. SkyCity is one of the most famous revolving restaurants in the world and was originally known as the Eye of the Space Needle. The restaurant is so incredibly well designed that a single 1.5 horsepower motor is used to accomplish its rotations, which are completed every 50 minutes or so. SkyCity provides an elegant look at Seattle, including ferry boats and the breathtaking lights of the city at night. It’s one of John Graham’s greatest accomplishments and an even more notable example of the revolving restaurant than the La Ronde—what’s more, unlike La Ronde, which closed some years ago, SkyCity is still open and serves thousands of customers every year.

Since Graham’s time, the architecture of revolving restaurants has changed slightly, with many relying on modern improvements to the cog-driven design of the La Ronde. The basics have stayed the same and revolving restaurants have become famous attractions in various states. Usually, revolving restaurants are combined with hotels or large office buildings, and as they became popular in the 1960s through the 1970s, many different companies tried to put their own unique twists and touches on the revolving restaurant.

Texas is home to several major revolving restaurants, including the Tower of the Americas and Reunion Tower.

Built in 1978, Reunion Tower is a 561-foot (171-meter) observation tower in Dallas, Texas. Located at 300 Reunion Boulevard in the Reunion district of downtown Dallas. the tower is part of the Hyatt Regency Hotel complex, and is the 15th tallest building in Dallas. Following renovations in 2008, Celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck opened a fine-dining restaurant called “Five Sixty” on the tower's rotating top level on February 11, 2009. The name refers to the restaurant's elevation. Five sixty replaced the tower's previous restaurant, called antares.

Located in Dallas, Reunion Tower is well-known to residents of the city for its spherical shape and brilliant nightly light displays, in which patterns of lights flash beneath the globe’s dark exterior. The top level of Reunion Tower is a revolving restaurant named Five Sixty, a reference to the tower’s elevation. Reunion Tower is one of the tallest buildings in Dallas and the view from Five Sixty is a remarkable experience.

The sphere encompassing the three floors is similar to a geodesic dome, fashioned from aluminum struts. Each of the struts' 260 intersections is covered by aluminum circles with lights in the center. At night, the sphere lights up with hundreds of bulbs that flash in various computer-generated patterns. (Photo © Jeremy Edwards)

The restaurant in the Tower of the Americas is known as Chart House and is owned by Landry Restaurants. The Tower of the Americas is largely focused on promoting education on Texas history, but the restaurant is more focused on the beautiful San Antonio skyline. At over 750 feet tall, the Tower of the Americas is a particularly high revolving restaurant and a tourist attraction to San Antonio visitors. What’s more, the accompanying Skies Over Texas exhibit is a worthwhile educational ride for any Texas resident or tourist.

One of the more interesting revolving restaurants in the United States is at the legendary Galt House in Louisville, Kentucky. The Galt House has a history as a popular hotel that goes back over a century, so when renovations were announced, the owners were determined to keep the popularity of the building without diminishing its reputation as a must-see Kentucky landmark. The result was a fully renovated hotel containing the Rivue Restaurant & Lounge, one of the only revolving restaurants with two revolving platforms. This design allows both of the dining areas of the restaurant to function as independent revolving restaurants and allows the Rivue to seat an enormous number of patrons.

At the height of the revolving restaurant phenomenon in the 1960s, theme parks got in on the craze, and many of these theme parks still host successful revolving restaurants. Disney fans can experience the magic of a revolving restaurant at the Epcot Center, for instance, at the Garden Grill Restaurant. This restaurant fits into the Future World theme of the Epcot Center quite nicely. It’s also probably the only revolving restaurant in the world that features giant men in chipmunk costumes (Chip and Dale are frequent “visitors” to the Garden Grill).

The Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia is over seven hundred feet tall and features its own revolving restaurant with a fairly fast rotation speed of two rotations per hour. It’s another example of the common combination of hotels and revolving restaurants, as a skyscraper like the Westin Peachtree Plaza Hotel is really a necessity for a revolving restaurant to become popular; hotels tend to be some of the largest buildings in cities like Atlanta, so a revolving restaurant is often a very obvious addition. The Westin’s restaurant is one of Atlanta’s favorite attractions, and it’s also a fairly longstanding revolving restaurant in a building that has been open since 1976.

Modern rotating restaurants are available in almost every major city, as they’re a great way for hotels to bring in business and establish another form of revenue through a successful and highly visible restaurant (no pun intended). LA Prime at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles, California is another popular revolving restaurant that may actually be more famous for its food than its architecture. LA Prime is a New York style steakhouse. Like many revolving restaurants, LA Prime hires tremendous chefs to keep their patrons coming back. However, expect a hefty price tag; like rotating restaurants, fine steaks don’t come cheap.

Revolving restaurants are not limited to the United States, however, and there are restaurants all around the world that provide unique and exciting views of various cities and natural phenomena. One of the best examples in the Americas is the Skylon Tower, located in Niagra Falls, Ontario. The Canadian restaurant, appropriately titled the Revolving Dining Room, overlooks the American Falls and Horseshoe Falls. It seats about three hundred people and is nearly as balanced and power-conservative as the Space Needle’s restaurant; the Revolving Dining Room uses a 3 horsepower motor and rotates once per hour.

The Bellini Restaurante in the World Trade Center Mexico is another example of the revolving restaurant’s popularity outside of the United States. It offers a view of Mexico City and often features music as well as other types of entertainment for its patrons.

Sadly, revolving restaurants are becoming increasingly antiquated for a number of reasons. When the revolving mechanism of a revolving restaurant breaks, it can be extremely expensive to repair due to the specialized parts necessary to build a restaurant. There’s also less public interest in revolving restaurants than there was in the 1960s when the technology first became popular. Restaurants like the Coach Insignia in the Renaissance Center of Detroit or the Club 360 atop the World Trade Center of New Orleans have closed or have stopped rotating.

Nevertheless, there are a great number of revolving restaurants in the Americas, and they’re a fantastic experience for any person interested in fine dining or getting a great view. Revolving restaurants are an architectural and engineering oddity, but there’s something spectacular about getting a great 360 degree view of various cities and natural landmarks. Every person in a revolving restaurant eventually has the same view, so there’s no such thing as a good or bad table, and more often than not, the food in revolving restaurants represents the best that fine dining chefs have to offer. Whether you’re on a vacation or just exploring the sights of your hometown, a revolving restaurant can be a unique and completely unforgettable experience. end-of-article dingbat

Concrete Power Tools for All Cementing Projects

For any construction job, there are a variety of tools that are specifically designed for the production and completion of each project. For example, there are specific tools for the tedious job of laying concrete, all of which have different functions and purposes for any cementing operation. Cementing is a very time sensitive project that requires an assortment of tools and copious patience, but if your time is limited as is your patience, it would be wise to consider an investment in concrete power tools. Concrete power tools help speed up all cementing projects in an efficient and productive manner. Although it provides cementers a speedy shortcut, the final results will still reflect high-quality work.

International Tool has 4 different, high-quality brands of concrete power tools for sale that are fit for all of your cementing projects.

Choosing the Best Concrete Power Tool for the Job

There are a wide variety of Trowels, Asphalt Compaction, Utility Pumps, Gas Concrete Saws, Electric Concrete Saws, Small Flat Saws, Drill Rigs and Stands, Handheld Cord Drills, and Concrete Vibrators to choose from that are specifically for the use of cementing. All of the different categories of concrete power tools that International Tool carries are from the following high-quality manufacturers:

Husqvarna supplies gas concrete saws such as the Husqvarna K 1260 that can be used for both wet and dry cutting of cement or asphalt. These gas concrete saws are developed with a vibration dampening system that makes it easy to use and handle when cutting concrete. Husqvarna also makes electric concrete saws like the Husqvarna K 3000 Wet Electric. These type of saws are ideal for a small-range cutting job and reduces and kickbacks of dust. It emits little noise has a pulling rotation that eliminates the risks of recoiling that provides safe usage. These versatile tools can be used on both wet and dry concrete surfaces.

MK Diamond designed a small flat saw with a ‘walk-behind’ feature called the CX-3S Walk-Behind Concrete Saw . This lightweight tool is ideal for both wet and dry cutting and can be easily transported from different job sites with its compact design. It cuts back on the time it would take to saw through the concrete with its walk behind feature. Instead of being on your hands and knees, workers can easily saw through the concrete just by simply walking.

Concreting can be a complex project, and complex projects require specific tools for a smooth execution. In turn, finding those job-specific tools can prove to be an overwhelming task.

In Jim Cook's Archive

If the left stays in power in the U.S., don’t be surprised if we eventually duplicate the long lines people face in Venezuela. They wait for hours to buy toilet paper and soap. No matter how bad things get the socialists never admit failure. They prefer to see their people waiting in line rather than have entrepreneurs creating wealth. The idiotic Venezuelan president Maduro recently claimed that “Most of the private sector are parasitic bums.” That’s a view that’s likely shared by the Occupy Wall Street crowd. It’s possibly an opinion held by the radical Elizabeth Warren and to some extent by Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton.

The left doesn’t get it. In the market economy you only prosper by serving others satisfactorily. If you are dishonest or do a poor job, the consumers will desert you. Does it work? Look at the blessings that surround you. Compare the car in your garage to the ’58 Chevy you might be lucky to own in Cuba. What kind of thick-witted collectivists can’t let this evidence register and reject their Marxist views?

Our liberal president believes we should punish the successful people and reward the unsuccessful. That’s a formula for economic collapse. His idea to apply a capital gains tax to the estates of the wealthy means that in some cases tax levels will reach almost 70%. This is no longer a tax, it’s confiscation. Lenin would love it.

High taxes destroy wealth. Low taxes create wealth. When entrepreneurs keep more of what they earn it enables them to innovate and market thus expanding their enterprise and creating jobs, profits and wealth. We’re never going to restore our economic vigor and bail out the middle class until we quit passing out free stuff and cut taxes to the bone.

iPhone 5c and iPhone 5s First Weekend Sales Break All Previous Records

gold iphone 5s unboxing.jpg

Apple has just announced that its sold 9 million iPhones during the launch weekend. The company didn’t break the number down to individual models sales, but the numbers sets a new record.

Apple unveiled not one, but two iPhones during the iPhone event on held on September 10. The company introduced the iPhone 5c and 5s , and started taking pre-orders on Friday September 13 for the lower-cost version, the iPhone 5c.

While analysts have been skeptical about the impact of the colourful and lower-cost version of the iPhone 5c and the iPhone 5s, Apple has managed to break all previous records:

Apple today announced it has sold a record-breaking nine million new iPhone® 5s and iPhone 5c models, just three days after the launch of the new iPhones on September 20. In addition, more than 200 million iOS devices are now running the completely redesigned iOS 7, making it the fastest software upgrade in history. Both iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c are available in the US, Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Puerto Rico, Singapore and the UK. Demand for iPhone 5s has exceeded the initial supply, and many online orders are scheduled to be shipped in the coming weeks.

“This is our best iPhone launch yet – more than nine million new iPhones sold – a new record for first weekend sales,” said Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO. “The demand for the new iPhones has been incredible, and while we’ve sold out of our initial supply of iPhone 5s, stores continue to receive new iPhone shipments regularly. We appreciate everyone’s patience and are working hard to build enough new iPhones for everyone.”

As we previously reported, the high demand for the iPhone 5s has resulted in long queues around the globe. The gold version of the iPhone 5s model sold out in 10 minutes after Apple began accepting pre-orders through its online stores.

The nine million units sold in the first weekend goes beyond the wildest expectation of any analyst.

  • einsteinbqat

    Analysts… a job where uttering rubbish, but still think that their words is worth something! They just make up things — as many as possible — hoping to perhaps get one right, and be able to say, “See, I predicted it!”

  • Shameer Mulji

    and on top of all of that, they still get a huge salary. Go figure eh.

    I agree about “analysts” [cringe]… But my “gut” still tells me the 5c will tank in 2 years. While walking around the mall Friday night, many kiosk cellphone staff were standing around like hungry wolves, sometimes enticing people by inviting them over as they would hold up armfuls of the 5c. Even the Bell kiosk had no customers (although their separate store had one). What I’m suggesting is, the 5s were mostly gone and the 5c’s were being force-fed to consumers – hoping some were desperate enough for anything “new”.

    ok… I’ve gotta share this short story…
    Walked by the Rogers store. 3 people in line with 2 staff and one of the staff starts speaking very loudly at the 3rd customer in line saying, “This is the busiest day of the year!” … (I’m paraphrasing this next part, but it was the essence of what he was trying to say) “If you don’t need to buy an iPhone today then maybe you shouldn’t be here” … [snicker]…. he’s not going to be employed for much longer.

    Considering Apple lunched 2 phones and in more countries this year, this only makes sense. No surprises here.
