Edinburgh Art Festival 2005

The Edinburgh Art Festival piloted for the first time last year, represents over thirty galleries and runs concurrently with Edinburgh’s other major festivals in August. The New Projects fund has been created to support the work of existing galleries and artist-led organizations as well as to assist with the commission of new projects

The Edinburgh Annuale, the Annuale highlights Edinburgh's artist-run projects during the festival month of August with the aim of championing art in Edinburgh as it emerges from the grass roots. The Annuale will produce a catalogue which will act as a guide to artist-run exhibitions and events in the capital. The Edinburgh Art Festival has also been able to assist Inverleith House with the running of a visitors’ bus to Ian Hamilton Finlay’s garden Little Sparta, to tie in with the exhibitions running at Inverleith House, The Ingleby Gallery and The Scottish Poetry library which celebrate the artist’s 80th birthday.

The Edinburgh Art Festival is supported by the Scottish Arts Council, The British Council and Edinburgh City Council.

Aesop’s latest opening in Hamburg is a counter space in the eminent department store, Alsterhaus.  The design was inspired by the history and distinctive streetscape of the Hanseatic city.

In pleasing contrast to the palette of its immediate surrounds, the 12.5-square metre space appropriates the red-brown hue of brick structures populating Hamburg and neighbouring century-old Speicherstadt, referenced in the powder-coated surfaces of a monolithic counter and product display unit. The warm brass used to accent the countertop and shelves will effect gradual, ongoing change as its patina ages.

servo control via lpt problems

Do you have a question? Post it now! No Registration Necessary

Translate This Thread From English to

Threaded View

Hi all
i am working on a small project in VB, Controlling Servos by voice.
everything is working great except for one thing.
If i use one power adapter to control more than 1 servo, then
following happens
While 1 servo moves , second servo seems to get enough of a voltage
fluctuation that it will move one way or the other.
currently for this to work for me, i need to have a separate power
supply for each servo, then
everything works great.
What do i need to make this work from one power supply?

Re: servo control via lpt problems

Try larger power supply (more current).

Without the schematics i is difficult to say if controlling one servo will
affect the other one.

Re: servo control via lpt problems

Quoted text here. Click to load it

Filter between the feeds to the two servos will also help, if its a PWM
servo then even with one power supply with enough current, the Power supply's
inherent output impedance may be too high for the servo's instantaneous
draw, you might need to size a supply that has a continuous rating that is
equal to the max instantaneous draw of *both* servos. If you are not sure than
add lots of capacitors and maybe separate leg inductors and capacitors
right next to the bridge driver for each servo...

We've slightly trimmed the long signature. Click to see the full one.

** Any decent, regulated, 5 volt  PSU with a few amps capacity.

  Not the puny unregulated ones you have.

Passage: Colossians 1:15-20

Colossians 1:15-20 – The Christ Hymn of Colossians

Colossians quotes a hymn or confession that declares Christ to be "the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation," and "the firstborn from the dead."

This passage reflects an early Christian hymn or confession of faith that has been incorporated into the letter. If the Colossians already knew these words, the Christ hymn reiterates the centrality of their faith in Christ while also continuing to proclaim an identity that is theirs in the crucified and risen Christ.

The immediate context of the hymn is important to note, for a key theme of the letter precedes the hymn: "He [God] has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins" (1:13-14).

The first stanza of the hymn (1:15-18a) proclaims the lordship of Christ, who is "the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation." All realms and powers of the universe are subject to his lordship: "in him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers--all things have been created through him and for him." Christ is "before all things, and in him all things hold together." Christ's lordship is concretely present in the world and in the gathering of God's people within the Christian community. Christ himself is "the head of the body, the church."

The second stanza of the hymn (1:18b-20) proclaims the lordship of Christ who is "the beginning, the firstborn from the dead." In Christ "the fullness of God was pleased to dwell." In Christ "God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven." The centrality of his death and resurrection proclaims that Christ has made peace in all realms of the universe "through the blood of his cross." The sign of Christ's lordship in the world is centered in the cross and resurrection.

The verses that follow and flow from the hymn (1:21-23) draw the hearer into the life that is present in Christ. Those "who were once estranged and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds" are "now reconciled in his fleshly body through death." This reconciliation is expressed in sacrificial language: "to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before him." Words of exhortation proclaim the truth of these words: "provided that you continue securely established and steadfast in the faith, without shifting from the hope promised by the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven." All this is under the encompassing lordship of Christ, of which Paul "became a servant of this gospel."

Jennifer Lawrence, Harvey Weinstein

David M. Benett/Getty Images

Jennifer Lawrence will not let Harvey Weinstein use her name in his defense.

In court documents obtained by E! News Wednesday, Weinstein petitioned to have a class action lawsuit dismissed. In response to six actresses who claim that he, along with The Weinstein Company, used his power to bully women and cover up his alleged misconduct, the producer name-dropped actresses including Jennifer Lawrence, Gwyneth Paltrow and Meryl Streep in an effort to prove that not every actress he's worked with had a negative experience.

Weinstein quoted Lawrence as saying he'd "only ever been nice" to her.

Lawrence distanced herself from Weinstein Thursday morning.

"Harvey Weinstein and his company are continuing to do what they have always done, which is to take things out of context and use them for their own benefit," the 27-year-old star of X-Men: Dark Phoenix told E! News in a statement. "This is what predators do, and it must stop."

"For the record, while I was not victimized personally by Harvey Weinstein, I stand behind the women who have survived his terrible abuse and I applaud them in using all means necessary to bring him to justice whether through criminal or civil actions," Lawrence added. "Time's up."

Lawrence joined Streep, who denounced Weinstein's legal tactics Wednesday night.

"Harvey Weinstein's attorneys' use of my (true) statement—that he was not sexually transgressive or physically abusive in our business relationship—as evidence that he was not abusive with many OTHER women is pathetic and exploitive," she told E! News. "The criminal actions he is accused of conducting on the bodies of these women are his responsibility, and if there is any justice left in the system he will pay for them—regardless of how many good movies, made by many good people, Harvey was lucky enough to have acquired or financed."

Paltrow, meanwhile, has not commented. In the court documents, Weinstein's lawyers argued that in spite of her on-the-record claims that he behaved inappropriately towards her in the mid-'90s, the Shakespeare in Love actress "was not so offended that she refused to work with Weinstein again"—nor "did her career suffer as a result of her rebuffing his alleged advances."

After Lawrenc and Streep spoke out against him, Weinstein apologized Thursday afternoon.

"Mr. Weinstein has been informed that his civil counsel responded in court to a class action lawsuit which improperly sought to include all actresses who had previously worked with Mr. Weinstein, even where those actresses have made no claim of wrongdoing," the film producer's spokesperson told E! News in a statement. "Even though Mr. Weinstein has worked with hundreds of actresses and actors who had only professional and mutually respectful experiences with him, Mr. Weinstein has directed in the future that no specific names be used by his counsel, even where those actors have made previous public statements about him."

Weinstein's spokesperson said he "acknowledges the valuable input" Lawrence and Streep "have contributed to this conversation" and apologizes for involving them in the class action lawsuit. Moving forward, he "has advised his counsel to not include specific names of former associates; and to avoid [doing so] whenever possible, even if they are in the public record."

The New Stone Age

Monday, February 6th, 2017

Stone and ceramic surfaces are growing in popularity, reaching beyond their typical utility on the kitchen or bathroom floor with increased presence in products ranging from modern dining tables, contemporary wall units as well as bedroom furniture.  Paralleling the craze for rustic drift woods, stone finishes that feature rough, almost primal textures offer enhanced tactility and a rugged contrast to the sleek minimalism of modern design.

Balancing interiors with character and aesthetic dimension, marble surfaces like White Carrara and Black Marquina are often seen on tables like Penta coffee table by Cattelan Italia or Hoola Hoop dining table by Bonaldo as well as on wall units like I-modulART collection by Presotto Italia.  Sophisticated pieces like these create an unexpected edge and a counterpoint in the interior while helping balance softer materials with hard surfaces, complementing glass, wood or metals.

Till sleep do us apart, why the modern bedroom is split in two

Thursday, September 15th, 2016

Back in 2010, the National Association of Home Builders predicted that one of the strongest 5-year trends in custom-building will be a dual-master bedroom.  This prediction most like ensued from the survey conducted by the National Sleep Foundation which revealed a double digit growth in married couples who chose to sleep in separate bedrooms.  While this development in residential interiors is not entirely new, even the cyclical nature of furniture design could not have predicted this surprising revival.

Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera had separate houses with a bridge connecting them, which could be attributed to their political spotlight.  Many of our grandparents did not share a bedroom in the 50’s, while our parents may have shared a room but slept in side-by-side beds.   But our generation is certainly on point with the king size bed and the idea of a “master” bedroom or a bedroom “suite, denoting a matrimonial oasis with symbolic equivalence to the diamond ring and honeymoon.

So what exactly invaded this sacred institution, converting the occasional “I’ll sleep on the couch” solution to an embedded feature of many newly constructed or recently renovated homes?  For starters, various physical conditions like sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome are to blame.  Other obstacles are either kids, who sleep in between their parents or pets that are often welcome to share their owner’s bed.  Other intruders are disguised as various technologies and social platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, emails and texts, or as one-sided entertainment choices like SportsCenter or Dancing with the Stars that are less than desirable to the other partner.

The dual master-bedroom trend is catching fire fast with many buyers opting to make sleep a priority and using their more rested state-of-mind and body as a stimuli to healthy marriage amidst a pragmatic lifestyle.  Nonetheless, the critical task of today’s architects, builders and interior designers is to get creative and settle sleep deprivation issues with less emphasis on the separateness, stressing the importance of invigorating yet intimate bedroom spaces where couples can spend most of their time together and still choose to sleep apart, almost like trying to preserve the pillow-talk while having the pillows at different beds.

Is marriage between modern and country styles possible?

Tuesday, September 13th, 2016

One of the most unexpected interior style hybrids combines the wild side of country decor with modern minimalism, delineating an eclectic melange called country-modern.  The stark contrast between these polar styles creates lasting sophistication, warmth and welcoming charm that’s entirely innate to the rustic finishes like wooden beams, distressed surfaces and natural hides.  But this style is also full of contemporary flair like straight lines, floating effects, and shiny materials.

The transformation is particularly astonishing when a typically ultra-modern floating bed like Dylan platform bed by Cattelan Italia, gets a rustic makeover in the form of pony leather.  The result is a country-modern bedroom space that would otherwise be pure and minimal.  And this is merely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to completing this stylistic phenomenon.  The modern twist to this rustic style continues with a matching pony-leather upholstered Taxedo floor mirror and Casanova chaise lounge, offset by the unexpected crisp blue accents on the wall and through softer accessories.

Incorporating modern and country styles together

Is IKEA furniture cheap in quality?

Saturday, September 10th, 2016

Let’s start by saying that IKEA is truly revolutionary!  The ode to IKEA should always include the fact that this company is the real reason the world widely adopted modern furniture as a style of choice.  The items look unabashedly cool and the prices are approachable, resulting in high-home-fashion for lower-budget.  IKEA regularly offers latest modern design inclinations, translating Milan’s sophisticated yearly introductions to approachable modern furniture, kitchen accessories and contemporary lighting.  Shopping at IKEA is almost like shopping at H&M and other retailers of hip fashion that embody each trend but lack the durability to outlast its expected popularity.

Remember that IKEA furniture require assembly (as they are mostly packaged in flat boxes), and most options vary in materials and thus pricing.  Managing expectations when it comes to quality versus design essential, also as a reality check, look at the pictures of IKEA “year-old” couches for sale on Craigslist.  Nonetheless, IKEA is still one of the most inspiration modern furniture retailers in the world and perhaps a great source for modern interiors with target market that includes college students, new professionals and young families.

Abstract Details

To evaluate the post operative visual and optical quality of the eye implanted with this new type of multifocal IOL

San Bassiano Hospital, Bassano del Grappa (VI), Italy

We considered 22 eyes of 11 patients affected by cataract, mean age was 76,7 ±3,65 years. After 1st month, post operative best corrected distance visual acuity and distance-corrected near visual acuity was evaluated . All eyes underwent pre-operative corneal aberrations analysis with KR-W1 Topcon™ aberrometer. After 1st month, pre and post operative corneal aberrations were compared. Also post operative total ocular, high order and corneal aberrations (HOA) were separately considered to determine the post operative HOA and spherical aberration Z(4,0) induced by this IOL at 4 mm pupil diameter. PSF was evaluated by OQAS™ Visiometrics™

Post operative best corrected distance visual acuity was 0,096±0,012 log MAR , distance corrected near visual acuity at 40 cm was 0,165±0,066 log MAR and pre operative corneal HOA were 0,725±0,06 μ RMS post operative corneal HOA were 0,726 ±0 ,07. Post operative total ocular HOA were 0,3945±0,10 μ RMS ,internal HOA were0,043±0,008 μ RMS at 4 mm. Internal spherical aberration were -0,025±0,007 μ. PSF measured by OQAS was 0,6±0,02 .

This new type of IOL give to the patient high quality of visual acuity both for distant and near vision. High order aberrations and spherical aberrations were not increased by this IOL. Ocular total high order aberrations were less than high order corneal aberrations, this means that this IOL compensate high order natural corneal aberrations. Negative spherical aberrations Z(4,0) induced by this IOL is less than monofocal Tecnis IOL. PSF wae very high and the value was close to a young normal eye.

Beibut Shumenov Severs Ties With Goossen Tutor Promotions

LAS VEGAS (March 17, 2011) – World Boxing Association/International Boxing Association Light Heavyweight Champion Beibut Shumenov filed a lawsuit today (Thursday, March 17, 2011) against Goossen Tutor Promotions. The lawsuit asks the Nevada court to confirm that a promotional agreement between Shumenov and Goossen Tutor is terminated.

Shumenov terminated his agreement with Goossen Tutor Promotions in January of this year.

Shumenov alleges that Goossen Tutor Promotions violated its duties under the contract in different ways. The lawsuit charges breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, fraud and deceptive trade practices and seeks a judicial confirmation that the agreement is terminated. Shumenov seeks unspecified damages, including punitive damages

Shumenov is anxious to continue on his mission to unify the world light heavyweight titles and he will move forward through his promotion company, KZ Event Productions, Inc.

Shumenov (11-1, 7 KOs), the 2004 Kazakhstan Olympian, has been on an unprecedented, accelerated pace since his pro debut only three years ago, defeating two world champions in his first eight bouts, Montell Griffin and Byron Mitchell. A year ago, Shumenov established the mark for fewest pro fights needed to capture a major world light heavyweight title, defeating defending champion Gabriel Campillo by 12-round decision for the WBA crown in his 10th bout, breaking the record of 15 set by Jeff “Hit Man” Harding in 1989.

Shumenov was supposed to fight World Boxing Organization 175-pound titlist Juergen Braehmer in a Unification title fight January 8 in Shymkent, Kazakhstan, however, Braehmer unexpectedly pulled-out of the match the week of the fight claiming gastrointestinal problems.

Shumenov registered a victory by sixth-round knockout against Braehmer’s replacement, Joppy, who became the fourth world champion Beibut has defeated during his relative young pro career.

Shumenov owns and operates the Las Vegas-based KZ Event Productions along with his brother, Chingis.

(d)My study of The New Colossus will mainly focus on its historical meaning & the many (= les nombreuses) references it contains, and I will at the same time endeavour (= try) to show how its form, style & tone contribute to the message that Emma Lazarus, its author, aimed (=wanted) it to convey (= dégager, transmettre) .

I/ To begin with, I’ll tell you about the author, Emma Lazarus & thecircumstances that made her 1883 poem, The New Colossus, so famous and historic (= that gave it historical value).

A)The basic thing to know is that, originally (= à l’origine, au depart), the last 5 lines of E.Lazarus’s [siz] sonnet were engraved on the base (= the pedestal) of the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor in 1912 (nineteen twelve) in order to be read as a generous greeting address tothe thousands of European immigrants that had left, were leaving, or would one day leave their native countries because of poverty, persecution, or war, so as to seek* (= look for) peace, safety , in other words a better life in the U.S.
*to seek, I sought , sought : chercher, recherché
I will examine this message in a detailed way in the final part of my presentation, when I deal with the last 5lines of the poem.

Reminder (= rappel) : The statue, whose real name was “Liberty enlightening the world” was a present from France to the American People for the Centennial of the American Declaration of Independence (1776-1876).
In France discussions took many years, & so did financing & building (by the Alsatian sculptor Frederic Bartholdi, & Gustave Eiffel for the frame).
Once inNew-York, the statue was stored (= stockée) for eleven months in crates (=caisses) waiting for its pedestal to be finished, and was then reassembled in four months.
On October the 28th , 1886, the Statue of Liberty was unveiled (= inaugurated) by President Cleveland in front of thousands of spectators. (From Wikipedia)

B)Emma Lazarus, the descendant of Portuguese Sephardic* Jews whose families hadbeen settled in New York since the colonial period (=17th-18th centuries had written The New Colossus in 1883 to help raise money for the construction of the Statue of Liberty's pedestal. [People could buy the poems written in praise (= in honour) of Bartholdi’s statue].
As a Jew herself, and as an educated woman who felt concerned with the have-nots (= the very poor), Emma Lazarus took specialinterest in eastern European Ashkenazi* Jews who immigrated in destitute multitudes to New York in the winter of 1882 due to cruel persecutions & pogroms (= massacres) in the Tsarist Empire (= the Russian Empire). E.Lazarus taught technical education to help them become self-supporting (= à subvenir à leurs besoins par eux-mêmes).
Her writing of The New Colossus may be seen equally as part ofher humanitarian commitment* (= engagement) to the advancement of these deprived (=destitute=disadvantaged=underprivileged) immigrants and as the act of a poet.

[*Sephardic Jews = (= from Spain) juifs originaires d’Espagne et du Portugal
*Ashkenazi Jews = (= from Medieval Germany) juifs originaires d’Allemagne et par extension d’Europe centrale et orientale]

Hi! Browse Bio Find me

First Steps

My curiosity always leads me to search for new questions about 'how things work'. I’ve found my first answers studying Architecture.

ICT thoughts

After a couple of years of work in the ICT field, I’ve started to think that space ergonomics is not so far from web usability…here comes my i(n)tera(c)tive approach to design in different fields of application.

About experience

I began to investigate people behaviour, working on creative organizational development, communication and managerial education for about three years. From here my experiential approach to design.

Still evolving

My production is now affected by an “eco-drift” in the industrial design field. I’m trying to find new design solutions, more open to people interpretation, innovating behaviours with a bit of environmental care.

Give up something for Lent? How about rushing about?

Originally posted at Livejournal 9th March 2011

Today is the start of Lent.  Traditionally a time of 40 days when Christians fast or spend more time reflecting on their faith.  Many people who are not Christians also enter into the spirit of it by giving up something like chocolate or Facebook.  That’s how it’s supposed to work anyway.  Me?  I’ve just blundered into this Wednesday like any other Wednesday and I expect I’ll blunder through the next six weeks in much the same way.

Lent always seems like a good idea – time to spend more time focusing on what’s important.  In reality?  It really isn’t going to happen in my life without a serious structural overhaul.  There are some great devotional books out there and our church is focusing on the TearFund Carbon Fast but I can’t help thinking it’s just another thing to DO, another thing to pack in to an already creaking-at-the-seams week.

I don’t want to DO any more, I want to do quite a lot LESS.  My days start at 5.30am and I can’t remember the last time I sat down in a living room chair and watched something on TV.  I’m either working on something, out at a meeting or running my daughter here, there and everywhere.  I collapse into bed, try and read some of my current book (I attend two bookgroups and rarely finish anything these days), inevitably falling asleep halfway down the second page. John Ortberg in his book The Life You’ve Always Wanted devotes an entire chapter to telling people like me to slow down and stop rushing about. I skim read it.  I was in a hurry to finish it.

Perhaps this year is the time to slow down. Instead of giving up alcohol, cakes or crisps (which I haven’t touched since November anyway), I should spend the next six weeks until Easter looking at what I pack in to the average week, look at what can be culled, so that I can slow down, stop skimming through my life and actually live it for a change.

Instead of doing seventeen things averagely, how about if I do eight of them really well?  Would the planet really shudder to a halt if I stopped doing something at church?  Perhaps some may feel agrieved that I am ‘ducking my responsibilties’? To that I reply that I’ve been making a contribution there since 2001, I’ve given a nice big chunk of my time, there’s lots of new people in the church, so how about one of them taking on some of the things I do over and above my job? I’m already in the building 20+ hours a week, surely that counts as pulling my weight?

I don’t have the time in the week to fit in exercise and I certainly don’t have time to pursue things away from Church that I would like to.  I don’t find that I have enough time to read and study, to socialise or to even spent time with my husband and daughter.  My entire life is lived at 60mph and I’m sad to say that recently I’ve been finding that if information doesn’t come in 140 characters or less, I’m inclined to switch off. That is not a good sign in anybody’s book.

John Ortberg quotes a friend who gave him this piece of advice: ‘You must ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life.’

Yes.  If nothing else I think I’d like that to be my devotion for Lent.

“Walk4Hearing” to Raise Awareness and Money to Support People with Hearing Loss

share this:

Chances are you or someone you know is affected by hearing loss. It’s time to STEP UP!

Hundreds of people of all ages, across the hearing loss spectrum, will be walking to raise awareness of hearing loss and to raise funds to provide information and support for people with hearing loss on Sunday, June 3, 2012 at Marina Green Park (between Shoreline Village Drive and Linden Avenue) Long Beach, CA.

Examples of local uses of Walk4Hearing Funds are: captioning and hearing assistive technology at HLAA chapter meetings to make them accessible; scholarships toward college tuition for students with hearing loss; funding for hearing aids and devices for people who cannot afford them; installation of hearing assistive technology in public places, such as community rooms and public libraries; captioning of live theater productions; seminars on coping with hearing loss for families.

Donations are accepted by going online at www.walk4hearing.org and selecting your walk location.

Expat Advice: Culture Shock in China, China

Comments Print

What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?

Did you receive any cross-cultural training for your move abroad? If yes, was it before or after the move?

None, I spent 4 months living in San Ya, a resort city at the extreme southern tip of China's Hainan province.

Moving to China soon?

Choosing an expat health insurance provider is an important decision. Take a minute to get a quote from our trusted expat health insurance partner, CIGNA. Sponsored by CIGNA.

If they speak another language in your new country, do you speak the language? If yes, did you learn the language before you moved or while abroad? If no, are you planning to learn the language?

No; I didn't speak Chinese and can not read or write Chinese. This was the biggest difficulty and compounded the culture shock.

Were you worried or concerned about culture shock before you moved abroad?

Some, not enough.

How significant was the culture shock you experienced when you moved abroad?

I wouldn't say that it came as a big surprise to me but it runs so deep through every facet of life from the simplest daily activities to the more complex aspects of relations.

Expats often talk about going through the "stages of culture shock." Examples include the honeymoon phase, the irritation-to-anger stage, the rejection of the culture stage, and the cultural adjustment phase. Do you feel like you went through these or any other stages as you settled into the new culture?

I can't say that there were stages for me, but I left China after 2 years. My leaving wasn't directly due to cultural differences but as I said before cultural differences are involved in everything.

What, if any, were some of the changes you noticed in yourself that might have been caused by culture shock? These might include things such as anger, depression, anxiety, increased eating or drinking, frustration, homesickness, etc.

I can't say that I had any real reactions. I knew going in that the culture was very different and approached it with an open mind to change.

What are some things you appreciate most about the new culture?

The ties to family and friends is much deeper and the reliance on others is far more of a necessity than in the US or anywhere else I have lived.

What are the most challenging aspects of the new culture?

The difference of knowledge of such things as basic science and understandings of how and why things work the way they do is vast. It can be very trying to the patience and can be a significant problem in any type of emergency situation.

Did you "commit" any embarrassing or humorous cultural blunders? If you did and you'd like to share them, please do tell!

I had very good handlers so I did not commit any big mistakes. But I saw others do so. One example came when we went out to dinner with a large group of friends and family. The man who invited us, American, wanted to split the bill at the end of the night. This is NEVER done in China. I told him this but he didn't listen. He insisted that we calculate the bill at the table and came up with what he thought everyone should put in. From that day on he was branded a cheapskate and shunned by almost everyone. The word spreads quickly in China and in a few days all of the extended families and friends turned a cold shoulder to him in every way. In China the one who invites, or even suggests, going to a restaurant pays the entire bill, the wives of girlfriends will scrutinize it for any possible errors. It should be paid with no fanfare once the women OK the amount.

Do you have any advice or thoughts about culture shock you would like to share?

If you are not open to change in every aspect of life or are set in your ways living abroad may not be for you. Plan to live in your country of choice for at least 2 years before making major commitments. China didn't work out for me in the end and I now am living in Colombia, SA

Normal & Keratoconic Cornea

What is Keratoconus?

This is a disease of the eye where the central mirror like structure called Cornea becomes weak, leading to progressive thinning and stretching which gradually progresses. Gradually, the Cornea bulges forwards, leading to an irregular cone shape. This causes distortion and blurring of the image formed by the cornea. Usually this disease is bilateral, though the severity may vary between the two eyes. The cause is not known though genetic predisposition is present. Early detection and treatment is key; if left untreated, vision can degrade rapidly

What are the symptoms of Keratoconus?

It may present as frequent change in spectacles power. When the disease progresses, vision deteriorate and may not improve with spectacles. It also causes distortion in vision with multiple images, glare and sensitivity to light.

Test for Keratoconus

Early detection of keratoconus is difficult because many of the condition’s symptoms are similar to those of other eye diseases. A trusted eye doctor can perform a comprehensive eye exam to identify early-stage keratoconus. An array of advanced tools and tests to effectively diagnose the corneal disease, including:

Slit-Lamp Exam

A slit-lamp is a binocular microscope used to examine the structures of your eyes, including your corneas, under high magnification. During the slit-lamp exam, Your eye doctor will look for common symptoms of keratoconus such as corneal thinning and a cone-shaped appearance.

Corneal Topography and pachymetry

Corneal topography is a computer-assisted instrument that creates a three-dimensional map of the surface curvature of the cornea. This non-invasive tool produces a map of the cornea that allows our doctors to assess the condition of the cornea’s surface. A medical device called a pachymeter is then used to measure the thickness of the eye’s cornea, revealing early signs and progression of the disease.

How is the treatment done?

If our eye doctor has diagnosed you with keratoconus, they will thoroughly discuss your treatment options with you. The type of treatment depends on the severity of the condition and your overall eye health. For instance, early-stage keratoconus can be treated with rigid, gas permeable contact lenses. These contact lenses are made of a rigid lens material, enabling the lenses to vault over the cornea, replacing its irregular shape with a smooth surface to improve vision. However, once the condition progresses, other treatment options may be necessary, including:

Intacs are surgically applied corneal implants used when patients can no longer properly see with contact lenses or eyeglasses. Through a minimally invasive procedure, the semi-circular implants are placed just under the eye’s surface in the periphery of the cornea, reshaping the cornea for clearer vision.

Corneal Collagen Crosslinking with Riboflavin (C3R):

The treatment is performed under anaesthetic eye drops. The epithelium-front surface of the cornea is removed, followed by application of Riboflavin eye drops for 30 minutes. The eye is then exposed to UVA light for 30 minutes by a special instrument. After the treatment, antibiotic ointment is applied and a bandage contact lens applied to allow the surface of the eye to heal. Oral analgesics are required for the first 1 -2 days. There is no need for hospitalization after the treatment. However, you will need to use eyedrops and take rest for 2-3 days. Corneal crosslinking may reduce significantly the need for corneal transplants among keratoconus patients.

Corneal transplant:

When good vision is no longer possible with other treatments, a corneal transplant may be recommended. This surgery is only necessary in about 10 percent to 20 percent of patients with keratoconus. In a corneal transplant,the diseased cornea from your eye and replaces it with a healthy donor cornea.

When can I return to work?

Your vision will remain blurred for 2-3 days after the treatment. So, you can work after 3 days.

Support manual of the laser engraving machine

As we probably am aware, the smoke and tidy which is created by the etching and cutting will hurt the guide rail after a time of utilization, so we have to do the day by day support of the guide rail. If you do not mind kill the laser etching machine and cut the power, clean the guide rail with clean think about, at that point please drop the greasing up oil on the guide rail, attempt to move the slide pole and ensure that the oil comes into it. Influence the slide pole to proceed onward the guide rail in the wake of filling the oil, now we have to introduce the guide rail initially, kindly do not settle the guide rail right off the bat, introduce the tightens the correct position and keep the slide beam on the even level. At that point settle the belt and slide pole well, introduce the focal point and after that alter the goal of X light.

laser engraving machine

After a time of use of the laser etching and laser cutting machine, the smoke and clean will hold fast to the surface of the reflector and mirror, camfive reviews will influence the etching and cutting profundity and furthermore will influence the etching and cutting exactness. We have to clean the three reflectors and one centering mirror with unadulterated liquor week by week.

A laser etching machine is furnished with loads of heading, so as to keep the great etching and cutting outcome, some portion of direction should be refilled with oil consistently aside from the oil-holding bearing. Wipe off the surface tidy on the holding on for the spotless reflect on, take a bit of injector and suck some motor oil inside, at that point fill the holding on for pinhead and move the bearing in the meantime.

There are some synchronous belts on one laser etching machines, if the synchronous belt is too free which will bring about the twofold pictures of the engraved words, if the synchronous belt is too tight which will bring about the scraped spot of synchronous belt. After a time of utilization, please modify the rigid screws of synchronous belt, change the synchronous belt until the point when its level of snugness is appropriate, it is sufficient when there are no twofold pictures of the engraved words and the clamor of the laser etching and laser cutting machine is low, or you can counsel our specialist.

The laser container of the laser etching machine is utilizing the cycle water as cooling framework and as the time goes ahead, there will be some firings inside the laser tube. We can put a little vinegar into the cycle water; the vinegar will dissolve the furring. From that point forward, we might utilize some spotless water to clean the tube. So the laser tube will be in the best working condition and its life will turn out to be longer.
