Best designs for kitchen countertops

Kitchen countertops are like shoes of your outfit – it’s the one who’s going make or break the whole. Because it’s located at the very center of the kitchen, it’s very important to make sure that it looks its best. Of course, functionality is also key in getting the right kitchen countertop for you. Mixing style with function is the right chemistry for your kitchen countertop. Below are some of the designs that you should try when building your very own kitchen countertops.

Thick ledge countertops
Thick ledge countertops add layer and also strength to the whole look of the kitchen. Mixing it with wood accents can add a very natural yet chic feel to the whole style.

Lacquered copper
Want something different and exciting for your kitchen? The lacquered copper style will transform any kitchen into a tropical dream that you won’t simply say no to. Add colors like blue and yellow to accentuate the copper’s warm feel.

White granite
White will never go out of style when it comes to kitchen countertops. White granite will make your kitchen look like a modern Stepford wife’s dream. Add metallic accents to put a bit of masculine edge to the whole look.

Oak slab
One of the most alternative option, oak slab is simply wood matched with other important details. It will make your feel organic and natural, making it perfect for those Instagram flat lays that we are sure you are planning.

Sealed wood
There are many reasons why wood will forever be a favorite when it comes to kitchen countertops. Wood makes any space feel homey and warm. Sealed wood will add modernity and classiness to the homey feel of the wood. It will also make your countertop resistant to heat and scratches.
Trendy brass
Metallic accents won’t go anywhere soon. They will remain classic and stylish – fitting to any kitchen that you can imagine. Brass materials will sure add a mature vibe to your kitchen – perfect for millennials who want to prove their seriousness to adulthood.

Suede finish
Suede can add warmth to any surface. It will also make your kitchen look very clean and put together thanks to its smooth finish.

Glass top
Glass is perfect to any kitchen because it can make any space look better than it is. Glass tops are also the ultimate ticket in making your whole kitchen look like a modern girl’s paradise. It also looks clean at any light.

Mixed materials
Why choose when you can have everything? Mixing materials are very cost effective especially when you are going to choose expensive materials with cheaper ones. Add wood blocks with marble accents to get that modern yet still homey feel to the kitchen.

Iron grey steel
Iron and metal shouldn’t be deemed as something that’s too strong for the kitchen. Iron and steel combo do sure add a serious mix to the table (literally and figuratively) but it sure does look clean and timeless in the long run. Add wooden accent if you are a bit hesitant in going all black.

Dramatic marble
Marble is here to stay because it’s a very flexible material to deal with. It will also look good on any type of surface that you can imagine. Add a chevron pattern to the mix for extra depth and drama that you deserve.

Long lasting materials
Invest on long lasting materials such as granite and wood for a kitchen countertop that’s definitely long lasting and worth your money. Make sure to buy materials from a good source to ensure its longevity and quality finish.

As a child of the Fifties and Sixties, born and raised in Southern California, Bryan could not avoid soaking up the pop culture and angst of that time and place. He was fascinated by cheesy Sci-Fi and horror movies, super hero comics, Mad Magazine, Salvador Dali, The Twilight zone, Zap Comics, etc……..  All of those influences plus the “duck and cover” mentality of the Red Scare had their shots at a sensitive mind. In addition to the constant threat of atomic annihilation, the Civil Rights Movement, Vietnam War, and the Kennedy and King assassinations further provoked a political awareness and a sense that all is not right with the human species. At an early age art became a way for Bryan to deal with and make sense of the world.

When the time came to choose an occupation Bryan studied architecture briefly but soon realized art was his best path to free expression. While attending Otis Art Institute in Los Angeles (Master of Fine Arts, 1974), Bryan took up with the early founders of the Chicano Art movement (Los Four). They introduced him to the Mexican Muralists’ work of the early 20th century and the value of a tradition of accessible work with social/political content. This realization combined with his early influences have come together in his work to create a unique and engaging  brew.

The continuing wars, terrorism, political hi-jinks, and the deteriorating environment have only reinforced his early perspective and provide a never ending supply of subject matter to work with. In spite of the disturbing nature of his topics, Bryan always manages to portray them in a humorous and seductive fashion.

Although most known for his political work savaging the Bush administration, Bryan also directs many of his efforts inward, producing work from the imagination. At first impression, this surreal and whimsical work seems just for fun but usually contains underlying symbolic comment about life in these times and human nature in general.

Bryan has exhibited his work throughout the US, Canada, Europe and Japan. His work appears on numerous satirical and political web sites across the US and internationally. It has also been featured as illustration and cover art for publications, including Juxtapoz and Adbusters magazines.

Bryan has lived on the Central Coast of California for the past 37 years and tries to paint and surf as much as possible. He has a son, a daughter, three granddaughters, a grandson and a grateful attitude.

Signs of Substance Use Disorder

Substance use disorder is a broad term that includes substance misuse, dependence and addiction to alcohol, legal and/or illegal substances.

Signs of a substance use disorder may include behavioral, physical and social changes. There are a number of warning signs to look for when you suspect someone might be struggling with a substance use disorder.

Addiction, the most severe level of substance use disorder, is a chronic disease characterized by continuing a behavior despite the harm and unintended consequences it may cause. Addiction causes changes in the brain that over time interfere with a person’s self-control and ability to resist cravings.

Warning Signs

There are a number of warning signs to look for when you suspect a loved one may be struggling with a substance use disorder:

These include behavioral and social changes, such as:

  • Drop in attendance or performance at work or school
  • Sudden lack of interest in favorite hobbies or activities
  • Frequently getting into trouble (fights, accidents, illegal activities)
  • Using substances in physically hazardous situations such as while driving or operating machinery
  • Engaging in secretive or suspicious behaviors
  • Changes in appetite or sleep patterns
  • Unexplained change in personality or attitude
  • Sudden mood swings, irritability or angry outbursts
  • Periods of unusual hyperactivity, agitation or giddiness
  • Lack of motivation
  • Appearing fearful, anxious or paranoid with no reason
  • Sudden changes in friends, favorite hangouts and hobbies
  • Unexplained need for money

Physical Changes

Physical changes related to substance use disorder can include:

  • Bloodshot eyes and/or abnormally-sized pupils
  • Sudden weight loss or gain
  • Deterioration of physical appearance
  • Unusual smells on breath, body or clothing
  • Tremors, slurred speech or impaired coordination

Other signs to look for include:

  • Drug paraphernalia such as lighters, syringes, cotton balls, burnt spoons or bottle caps
  • Missing prescription medications or money

A series of toolkits with information specifically geared to parents, faith communities and other community leaders is available on this website. These toolkits provide guidance on appropriate topics and language when discussing the dangers of addiction or approaching someone who might be at risk.

The wake-up call

US President Donald J. Trump leans in to listen to US Defense Secretary James Mattis as Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, looks on in the Cabinet Room at the White House in Washington on October 23. (Reuters/Leah Millis)

“The security and wellbeing of the United States are at greater risk today than at any time in decades. America’s military superiority… has eroded to a dangerous degree. America’s ability to defend its allies, its partners, and its own vital interests is increasingly in doubt. If the nation does not act promptly to remedy these circumstances, the consequences will be grave.”

The above warning is the opening of the National Defense Strategy Commission’s report, which was released on November 13. The Commission—of which I was a member—was established by the 2017 Defense Authorization Act to independently assess the state of the nation’s defense as well as to review the Department of Defense’s (DOD) January 2018 National Defense Strategy (NDS).

In our report, we note that many of the skills necessary to conduct military operations have atrophied and that the United States’ edge in technologies that underpin US military superiority is eroding or has disappeared. We add that these trends are undermining both our ability to deter adversaries and the confidence of US allies, increasing the likelihood of military conflict.

The report’s punchline is grim: “The US military could suffer unacceptably high causalities and the loss of major capital assets in its next conflict. It might struggle to win, or perhaps lose  [my emphasis], a war against China or Russia. The United States is particularly at risk of being overwhelmed should its military be forced to fight on two or more fronts simultaneously.”

Why are we in this situation? The Commission cites both developments abroad and at home. Abroad, China and Russia, seeking regional hegemony and global power projection, are pursuing military buildups aimed at neutralizing US strengths. The threats from Iran and North Korea have worsened as those countries have developed more advanced weapons and creatively employed asymmetric tactics. Around the world, the proliferation of advanced technology is allowing more actors to contest US military power in more threatening ways.

At home, the United States has significantly weakened its own defense due to political dysfunction and decisions made by both Republicans as well as Democrats. This has played out in the effects of the Budget Control Act (BCA) of 2011 and years of failing to enact timely appropriations. Defense spending was cut substantially under the BCA, with pronounced detrimental effects on the size, modernization, and readiness of the military.

What about DOD’s current strategy? The Commission believes DOD’s 2018 NDS represents a constructive first step in responding to this crisis. We found much to like, including the NDS’s assessment of the strategic environment, the priority it places on preparing for major-power competition and conflict, its emphasis on the enduring value of US alliances and partnerships, and its attention to issues of readiness and lethality. That said, we are concerned the NDS leaves unanswered critical questions regarding how the United States will meet the challenges of a more dangerous world. The NDS points in the right direction but does not explain how to get there.

In our recommendations, we stress that the United States needs to develop new capabilities (those things we should be investing in) as well as new operational concepts (how to fight more effectively). The latter does not get the focus it deserves. During the Cold War, the United States developed operational concepts to overcome daunting challenges in Europe and elsewhere. Unfortunately, the innovative operational concepts we need today do not currently appear to exist.

On technology, we recommend the US government take steps to protect and strengthen the US national security innovation base by increasing investment in key industries and pursuing selective economic disintegration with rivals to avoid dangerous dependencies. DOD must also continue broadening its efforts to find and incorporate new capabilities developed by the private sector. Congress and DOD must also find new ways to enable more rapid maturation, acquisition, and fielding of leap-ahead technologies.

Another imperative is modernizing our nuclear force. Given the need for a robust deterrent, the aggressive nuclear modernization programs some rivals have been carrying out, and the increasing reliance of those rivals—particularly Russia—on escalatory doctrines that feature limited use of nuclear weapons, DOD must remain committed to the bipartisan nuclear modernization program outlined in the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review.

The Commission understands that all these efforts require resources. We assess unequivocally that the US defense strategy is not adequately resourced. The United States is near the point of strategic insolvency, where its “means” are badly out of alignment with its “ends.” There must be greater urgency and seriousness in funding national defense.

It was beyond the scope of our work to identify the exact dollar amount required to fully fund the military’s needs. But, in accordance with the 2017 testimony of US Secretary of Defense James Mattis and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Joseph Dunford, the Commission recommends that Congress increase the base defense budget at an average rate of three to five percent above inflation through the Future Years Defense Program and perhaps beyond. This is significantly above currently planned levels.

The last paragraph of the executive summary is as powerful as its first. “The costs of failing to meet America’s crisis of national defense… will not be measured in abstract concepts like ‘international stability’ and ‘global order.’ They will be measured in American lives, American treasure, and American security and prosperity lost. It will be a tragedy—of unforeseeable but perhaps tremendous magnitude—if the United States allows its national interests and national security to be compromised through an unwillingness or inability to make hard choices and necessary investments.”

Bees roster now at seven signed players for inaugural 2016 season

(New Britain, Conn., March 22, 2016) - New Britain team officials today announced that the club has signed outfielder Jon Jones and corner infielder/outfielder Jovan Rosa for the 2016 season.

The 5’11”, 185 lbs. Jones spent last season with the Gary SouthShoreRailCats, batting .314 with 22 doubles and 19 stolen bases. The 26-year old outfielder was originally drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 29th round of the 2010 MLB Amateur Draft, spending 5 season in Toronto’s system. A native of Vacaville, California, the right-handed hitting and fielding Jones has seen action at all three outfield positions, primarily playing center field.

Born in Santurce, Puerto Rico, the 28-year old Rosa graduated from East Hartford High School in 2005, and was drafted out of Florida Gateway College by the Chicago Cubs in the 2006 MLB Amateur Draft. After spending 4 seasons with the Cubs organization, the 6’ 3”, 225 lbs. Rosa split time between the Bridgeport Bluefish and the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs last season, combining for a batting average of .261 with nine home runs, 21 doubles, and 55 RBIs in 102 games played.

“We’re excited to welcome Jon and Jovan to the Bees’ roster,” said Bees’ Manager Stan. Cliburn. “Jones brings a quality bat and versatility to the outfield, and we’re looking forward to having a local player in Jovan on the roster this season.”

Cliff Morgan is interviewed about his rugby career by the sports journalist, Ian Wooldridge. “Morgan the Magnificent” was the title given to Cliff Morgan by South African newspapers when he toured the country with the British Lions team in 1955. His success in that tour earned him the captaincy of Wales the following season. Cliff was born into a mining family in the Rhondda in 1930 and joined Cardiff Rugby Club straight from school, playing at fly-half. When his playing career ended in 1958 he joined the BBC, working as a TV commentator and producer. For the last ten years of his BBC career he was Head of Television Sport and Outside Broadcasts, with overall responsibility for the coverage of state occasions, as well as all major sporting events.

After he retired from the staff of the BBC he became the presenter of the popular Radio 4 programme "Sport on Four". Ian Wooldridge was widely recognised as the best sports writer of his generation. When he died in 2007 the many tributes spoke of his honesty, his fairness and his enthusiasm for sport. He particularly loved rugby, cricket and golf. Ian was born in 1932 and after an undistinguished school career he entered journalism, working on several local papers. In 1961 he joined the Daily Mail where he first made his name as a cricket correspondent.

Biologist Ingela Jansson talks about Tanzania’s Serengeti Lion Project, the future of the Ngorongoro Crater, meeting Maasai and getting close to big cats.

Lioness and her cub, Ngorongoro Crater
Lioness and her cub, Ngorongoro Crater

How did you become a lion researcher?

By chance really. After a trip to Africa in my early 20s I knew I wanted to become a biologist and return to Africa; 16 years later, after studying brown bears in Sweden and working as a manager for a safari camp in Tanzania, I joined the Serengeti Lion Project (SLP) as a research assistant.

Why choose Ngorongoro crater?

Ngorongoro Crater is part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA), but only takes up 3% of its total area. Lions living between the Serengeti and the Crater are threatened by the growing human population. I came to work for the lions’ conservation and revival.

What makes the NCA so unique?

The NCA was set up to conserve both culture and wildlife.

What does a typical day involve for you?

My days are often divided into field days or computer days. A field day in the Ngorongoro Crater is basically a long safari day, searching as best I can for any lions. A day out with Maasai in the wider NCA is completely unpredictable, often heading out to check for signs of lions or sitting under some shady tree discussing predators and cattle-grazing with the Maasai.

Have you ever had any scary encounters?

My scariest (or, rather, most exhilarating) encounter was when a lion walked up to me in the late evening as I sat outside my car, cooking dinner. I guess he was just curious. Since then I now cook my dinners on top of the car for safety’s sake.

Can travelers visit your field center?

Yes. Groups can book to have us come to their lodge or camp to give a talk about lions and our project. We also hope to have guests come and visit us or join us during field activities in the wider NCA. Donations following such activities will go directly to help funding our continued work.

What impact does tourism have on the lions in Ngorongoro?

For the most part, not much. The Crater lions are so used to having vehicles around they appear to be quite unperturbed by the attention as long as trucks keep a reasonable distance. Lions are lazy and confident cats, and most of their hunting and social interactions happen at night.

What’s the best part of your job?

Being in this fantastic area, following in real time the soap operas of the lions, and being part of this interesting project, which we hope will have a very positive impact on the long-term conservation of the iconic lion populations in the region.

And the worst part of your job?

Far too much driving and being stuck in a vehicle. Seeking and following up on permits can also get really tedious.

What does the future hold for lions?

Unless we take action, the decline of Africa’s lions will continue unabated due to habitat loss and a limited gene pool. In the NCA we aim to follow similar methods as Kenya’s Lion Guardian project, which successfully protects lions by engaging local Maasai in the conservation and research activities.

In the future, lions may again be able to move freely between the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. This would bring in much-needed new blood to the inbred Crater lions. It would also be a success for the NCA, where people and wildlife are meant to live together in perpetuity.

Newcastle Coal Infrastructure Group (NCIG) Coal Terminal, Australia

Aurecon Hatch is providing full engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) services for the greenfield Newcastle Coal Infrastructure Group (NCIG) Coal Export Terminal (CET).

The first stage, with an export capacity of 30 Mtpa, has been operating since May 2010 and was the largest single stage development of a new coal terminal in the world.

Aurecon Hatch delivered the concept study, pre-feasibility study and feasibility study, and was subsequently engaged to carry out the full EPCM services including detailed design. Aurecon Hatch also assisted NCIG to tender for the land lease from the New South Wales Government and to successfully outbid three competitors.

A number of innovative techniques and features were incorporated, including wide bed stockpile designs using combined stacker reclaimers to provide 60 per cent increase in coal storage capacity, reducing capital costs by about AU$160 million. Fully automated stacking and reclaiming systems will reduce future operating costs and exceed environmental requirements.

Only one lost time injury was recorded during construction of Stage 1 of the facility in over 4.5 million expended man hours. The project was delivered in 26 months, five weeks ahead of schedule, and under budget.

In 2011 Aurecon Hatch received a gold award for project management at the Consult Australia Awards for Excellence for the Stage 1 works.

Construction of the second stage is well advanced and will boost the terminal’s capacity to 53 Mtpa. This current expansion is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2012. Aurecon Hatch completed the pre-feasibility study, detailed engineering and is currently providing procurement and construction management services.

The third and final stage of the development will take the terminal to an ultimate capacity of 66 Mtpa. Aurecon Hatch is currently completing the detailed engineering and has started the early procurement activities required for this fast track project. Full project approval is in place with Aurecon Hatch engaged to complete the EPCM services for the expansion.

This project won Bulk Handling Facility of the Year (Resources and Infrastructure) at the 2013 Australian Bulk Handling Awards.

2019 National Seminar for Law Enforcement

On September 18-20, 2019, the Auschwitz Institute for Peace and Reconciliation (AIPR) partnered with the National Center for Civil and Human Rights (National Center) and the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to hold the third edition of the National Seminar for Law Enforcement on Promoting and Protecting Civil and Human Rights. The event welcomed a new cohort of 23 police officers drawn from 12 different jurisdictions located across the United States for a two-day training seminar at the National Center in Atlanta, Georgia.

The National Seminar for Law Enforcement is built on the understanding that properly functioning police and domestic security forces are an essential component of a healthy democracy that is resilient to atrocities. The role of these actors in promoting and protecting the civil and human rights of the communities that they operate in is fundamental, especially in deeply divided societies. The seminar’s curriculum combines lessons learned from the field of mass atrocity prevention with AIPR’s experience with training security forces in other global regions and tailored knowledge from academics and other law enforcement experts to help build capacity among participants to detect risk factors for civil and human rights abuses, identify appropriate response tools to promote and protect those rights, and determine best practices for fostering resiliency in targeted communities.

In line with previous editions, the objectives of the seminar were to: (i) instill in participants the value of promoting and protecting civil and human rights and of examining the factors which put societies at risk for violating those rights; (ii) highlight the ways in which the promotion and protection of civil and human rights by law enforcement plays a specific and important role in the prevention of mass atrocities; and (iii) explore the application of lessons learned through the previous two objectives to the challenges faced by police today in serving multicultural communities in a deeply divided society.

The 2019 edition of the program opened with introductory remarks from representatives of AIPR, the National Center, and the FBI. Interactive modules on the first day covered the role of law enforcement in promoting and protecting civil and human rights in deeply divided societies, lessons learned from the American Civil Rights Movement, promoting and protecting the rights of post-atrocity refugee and immigrant communities, a case study on Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and Operation Limelight USA, and implicit bias in policing. Additionally, participants were given a guided tour of the National Center’s exhibits on the American Civil Rights Movement and the Global Human Rights Movement by National Center staff.

The second day of the seminar built upon the concepts introduced during the previous day. Following a short introductory module, the event’s keynote address was delivered by Mr. Roberto Villaseñor, former Chief of the Tucson Police Department and member of President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing. Following this, the seminar concluded with modules on how ordinary people can come to commit genocide and other mass atrocities as well as relevant federal-level color of law and hate crimes legislation.

Overall, the 2019 edition of the National Seminar for Law Enforcement on Promoting and Protecting Civil and Human Rights represents a continuation of the success realized through the previous two editions of the program. The Auschwitz Institute’s Director of Policy and Programming, Samantha Capicotto, explains:

The National Seminar for Law Enforcement provides officers drawn from localities across the United States with an opportunity to engage with one other, with civil society, and with members of academia on some of the most difficult problems that they face in carrying out their duties in contemporary multicultural communities.

In addition to the important exhibitions and productive learning environment offered by this seminar’s location at the National Center, the program provides a curriculum that is oriented toward helping the participating officials examine their role in atrocity prevention while offering new perspectives on key challenges and facilitating the development of a broad range of solutions that the officers can continue to refine and apply after they have returned to their home departments.

An advanced guide to unlimited nbn™ plans

March 28th, 2020 - Get new posts sent straight to your inbox, click here.

Netflix adds dozens of hours of high-quality television to stream every month; the gamer in the household wants to download the next big game, only to find that the game’s file size is close to 100GB; or your home office is tapped into the company cloud 24/7 and automatically downloading new files. It’s a simple reality that our thirst for data has never been greater. With the internet being such a core part of how we work and play, Australians are showing continued interest in unlimited data plans.

What is an “unlimited” plan, and is it really unlimited?

An unlimited data plan simply means that there are no data limits to your internet connection. Say you’ve got a 100GB data plan – if you go over that 100GB in a month, then you’ll either be “shaped”, meaning that your internet speed will drop dramatically for the remainder of the month until your limit resets, or you’ll be charged a premium to gain some extra data.

An unlimited plan, meanwhile, means that you can continue using the Internet, and doing anything that you want on it, no matter how much data you end up using. In the past you’ve needed to be careful, as ISPs would offer an “unlimited” plan, but would drop the speeds after a certain threshold of data. The ACCC put a stop to that, though. In certain extreme cases you may still fall afoul of your ISP for excessive data use, but that would have to do more with fraudulent use of your connection and a breach of the ISP’s fair use policy.

Why are unlimited plans a great choice for customers?

Peace of mind is a big one! Knowing that you can flick on the TV and Netflix without first having to check that you’ll be left with enough data to keep an eye on your email for the rest of the month is a big benefit to having an unlimited plan. Furthermore, not needing to worry about how much data your children are using when on YouTube or doing classwork online is great. With more classwork than ever being done online the last thing you want is for your child to be left temporarily out of the loop by going over your data cap for the month.

More people than ever are working from home. With video conferencing, VoIP, and other cloud services, a home office can be very data intensive, and the only way that management will be on board with it is if they have assurances that the Internet connection will be reliable.

What to look for in an unlimited nbn™ plan?

All unlimited plans offer unlimited data, but that doesn’t mean that all unlimited plans are equal in quality. There’s a couple of other factors that you need to consider:

1. Internet speed

It doesn’t matter how much data you’re given, if you’re running a 12Mbps nbn™ connection – the slowest “tier” available, you’re still going to struggle to get the most out of your streaming services and gaming devices. Downloads will take longer and streaming services will often not work, particularly if there are more than a couple of people in the household using the Internet at the same time. We recommend a 25Mbps connection at minimum, which will provide adequate speeds for most home applications. If you need a really fast connection, then 100Mbps is the fastest available, and that will let you download even the biggest files quickly.

2. Evening speeds

If an ISP doesn’t purchase enough bandwidth from nbn™ ( read more about the process here), then evening speeds, when more people are looking to use the Internet at home, will drop (and can drop quite dramatically). As above, this will have the effect of limiting what you can do on the internet, until people start logging off and your speeds return to normal.

Aussie Broadband is consistently rated among the top ISPs for nbn™ evening speeds in all categories, from 25Mbps through to 100Mbps. Furthermore, Aussie Broadband is a regular winner of “best ISPs in Australia” awards, thanks to their ability to offer a consistently high service level to Australians.

The sword is held close to my body by my rear hand. The front hand holds the sheath.  Dropping the sheath, the sword leaves my side as I make a horizontal slash at an imaginary opponent.  The sword completes the cut and turns so that the back of the blade hits my other shoulder.  It immediately rebounds; cutting along the same path it has just traveled.  Turning, I run as if in retreat, the sword again by my side.  Suddenly, I jump straight up into the air and spin, sending the sword out behind me but this time at head height.  Had there been an opponent pursuing me, he would have had only fractions of a second to see the attack, cease advancing and defend.

The routine I am practicing is called the Yan Qing Dan Dao.  Yan Qing was a character in the book Shuihu Zhuan (or Water Margin) written about the 14th century.  In the novel, Yan Qing is a tall, good-looking youth, whose body is covered with tattoos of bright flowers. He is a character of exceptional intelligence and cunning. The routine or Taolu bearing his name is one containing many deceptive movements and requires considerable agility.

The weapon is the Dan Dao, the single sword.  It is generally a one-handed weapon; the other hand is either empty or holds a shield. As the name implies, there is indeed a Shuang Dao or double broadsword where the warrior has a sword in each hand. The Dan Dao is considered a short weapon in the Chinese arsenal and is indeed short when compared to the much longer Qiang, (spear) or Kwan Dao, (halberd).

The term dao applies to all single-bladed implements. The knife usually found at the dinner table is a dao.  All Dan Dao share certain characteristics. First, they are either sharp on one side or sharp on both sides only near the point.  Second, (like many bladed weapons in the Chinese arsenal), the upper third of the blade is considerably sharper than the lower two.  Finally, near the blunt ridge on the back of the blade there are blood groves on both sides.

There are many different types of Dan Dao. They may differ by the shape of the blade, the shape of the handle and length while still adhering to the characteristics of the Dan Dao.  Some feature curved blades enabling deeper cutting action.  Some Dan Dao have curved handles facilitating greater maneuverability.

The Northern Chinese Dan Dao are often longer than Southern. They are also more likely to have curved blades and handles.

As mentioned, the Dan Dao was often used with a shield. This configuration was popular with infantry troops.  Many times, the shield was used as a weapon almost as much as the sword.  These Dan Dao troops were accompanied by spear wielding soldiers. They served as mutual defense; the spear engaged enemies at a safer distance but, if they got inside the reach of the spear, the swordsman would defend the spearman.

Without a shield, the Dan Dao swordsman often had other weapons available.  He might have more than one knife on him in addition to the sword.  The swordsman would throw one knife at close range; when the distracted opponent moved to deflect or dodge the knife the swordsman would attack with the Dan Dao.  Sometimes in place of the knife the swordsman would have a paper packet filled with lye.  The opponent would either dodge the packet and be vulnerable to the sword or be hit with the packet and be blinded.

In other circumstances, the swordsman without the shield would put his empty hand on the back ridge of the blade and use it as a reinforced weapon; able to block a longer weapon and move quickly inside its reach to finish his opponent.

The swordsman could also block using the sword and grab the arm or weapon of the opponent with the empty hand. Thus immobilized, the opponent could be dispatched quickly with the sword.

Finally, the swordsman could block with the weapon and strike with the empty hand to vital areas.  Being injured, the opponent would be easier to finish if the strike itself did not end the fight.

When seeing a performance of the Dan Dao one will see the performer moving his empty hand in motions that “balance” the cutting motions of the sword.  These motions enable the practitioner to utilize both sets of intercostal muscles in his cuts.  It also conceals what would be the hand reaching for the hidden weapons, striking or grabbing.

With all these options it is no surprise that a well-known proverb among Chinese martial artists is “When fighting the Dan Dao, beware the empty hand!”

Manufacturing AUTOMATION

News Industry News
Auto parts manufacturers receive over $175K to implement automation

Two auto parts manufacturers in Scarborough, Ontario are receiving more than $175,000 from the provincial government to help improve efficiency, productivity and build capacity.

The funding is part of the Ontario Automotive Modernization Program (O-AMP) and will be matched 1:1 by the recipient companies, Innotech Precision Inc. and Kobay Enstel Ltd.

Innotech Precision Inc. provides tooling, engineering and injection-molded components for the auto industry. The company is receiving $98,582 towards real-time automated monitoring systems, which includes vision and production data analytics technology.

The investment will improve manufacturing efficiency and support sales growth. The project is expected to lead to the creation of six new jobs while helping to retain 53 jobs at the company.

Kobay Enstel Ltd. specializes in complex stampings, welded seating assemblies and tube fabrication. The company is receiving $78,410 towards custom computer software and hardware that will support real-time data gathering and analysis of the stamping press. Kobay Enstel says the investment will improve productivity and enhance competitiveness, leading to additional jobs at the company.

O-AMP is part of the government’s Driving Prosperity auto plan, which partners with small and medium-sized automotive parts suppliers to invest in projects that support technology adoption. These projects improve processes and/or support training in lean manufacturing to improve efficiency.

Funding from O-AMP covers up to 50 per cent of eligible project costs up to $100,000, with recipient companies contributing the remainder through their own resources.

The current intake for O-AMP applications is open until October 7, 2020.

Contact us at 207-942-4554 to set up an appointment for additional quality auto services.

Our miscellaneous auto services include:

After-Hours Drop Off
Sometimes auto repair needs arise long after most auto repair shops have closed (most auto repair shops close at 6 pm). With after-hours drop off services, you leave your car at the mechanics shop for repair even if the shop has closed. You simply fill out an envelope, put in your keys, and drop it in a drop box. The auto shop will only contact you when your car is ready or when they need additional information. At Auto Radiator Services, we value your convenience and that is why we offer after-hours drop off services. A completed Drop-Off Form will help the mechanic diagnose any problems. Even if we have closed, you just drop-off your vehicle at our shop and our mechanics will work on it and contact you when it is ready.

Free Local Shuttle Service with Repairs By Appointment
When you drop your car at our garage for repair and servicing, you don't always have the time to wait until we've finished servicing your car. To get your busy life going on, we offer free local shuttle services. At Auto Radiator Services in Bangor, ME 04401, we offer free local shuttle services to our customers. This service allows you to conveniently go back to your day's routine as we work on your vehicle - you don't have to wait at the shop. This service is by appointment.

Fuel Efficiency
The experts at Auto Radiator Services can inspect your vehicle and perform services that can help it operate at peak performance and help improve fuel efficiency and overall fuel economy. These inspections and services may include items such as:

  • Change engine oil, using the recommended grade of motor oil
  • Check and change your air filter
  • Inspect and, if necessary, replace a clogged fuel filter
  • Adjust tire pressure to manufacturer-recommended specs
  • Inspect/clean the intake system
  • Inspect/replace emissions components and/or a faulty oxygen sensor
  • Inspect brakes for proper adjustment
  • Inspect power steering system and perform a steering alignment, if necessary
  • Align front suspension
  • Clean or replace dirty or malfunctioning fuel injectors
  • Inspect/replace spark plugs and spark plug wires
  • Check exhaust for clogged catalytic converter
  • Examine the exhaust gas recirculation system

Hubs, Seals, Studs, & Nuts
A wheel hub motor, also referred to as a wheel motor, is an electric motor incorporated into the wheel hub and drives it directly. You can have a safer and smoother ride today by replacing your warped and worn out wheel hubs. Let Auto Radiator Services replace your worn out hubs today.

Properly working seals provide oil and grease sealing - offering enhanced performance in a wide range of temperatures and environments. Worn out or warped seals allow external contaminants to enter the bearing unit or let lubricant escape from the unit. This ultimately leads to premature failure of the bearing unit. To keep out contamination and retain lubricant in the bearings, have the seals replaced with new ones. To have the seals replaced by experts, contact or visit Auto Radiator Services today.

Studs are the threaded fasteners that hold on the wheels of your truck. The wheel studs are permanently mounted on the wheel hub through the brake disk or brake drum. To secure the wheel, nuts (lug nuts) are fastened over the stud. Stripped wheel studs can be quite dangerous. Damaged wheel studs should be replaced with new ones immediately. To have your truck's wheel studs replaced with high quality ones, call 207-942-4554 or visit Auto Radiator Services today.

A wheel nut or lug nut is a fastener for securing a wheel on the hub. A set of lug nuts are used to secure a wheel to the threaded wheel studs (which are fixed to a wheel hub). Worn out nuts means one thing - the wheel is not fixed securely on the vehicle which puts the vehicle at the risk of rolling over. To have your truck's wheels securely fastened to the hub, contact or visit Auto Radiator Services in Bangor, ME 04401 today.

Most Extended Warranties Accepted
An extended warranty (also known as a service contract) can provide peace of mind to most car buyers. The warranty (or service contract) kicks in after the usual manufacturer warranty has expired. An extended warranty covers major breakdowns and evens out the cost of repairs. Unfortunately, not all auto repair shops accept extended warranties. At Auto Radiator Services in Bangor, ME 04401, we accept most extended warranties. We let you use the service contract to save on auto repair costs.

Pre-Purchase Inspections
Are you planning to buy a new car? Don't take chances. Be confident about the car you are buying. Have pre-purchase inspections performed on the vehicle. Pre-purchase inspections involve examining the car's condition to ensure it is worth buying. At Auto Radiator Services, we have pre-purchase inspection experts - mechanics who will scrutinize any car, make, and model and allow you to make an informed decision. Pre-purchase inspections will definitely give you peace of mind when you buy your next used car.

Pre-Trip Inspection
A pre-trip check up can make the difference between a safe trip and one that ends in a tragedy. The inspection aims at looking for possible defects and potential mechanical problems that could cause disaster. Before embarking on a trip you should make sure your car is fully inspected for safety. You can rely on the experts at Auto Radiator Services. We have pre-trip inspection experts who are able to conduct safety inspections on any car, make, and model. Our experts are dedicated to ensuring you have a safe trip. Simply drop by or give us a call at 207-942-4554.

Trailer Hitches, Wiring and Tires
Although a trailer does not have an engine of its own, it does require some maintenance. The trailer needs wires to move current to the brake lights and other lights at the back. Auto Radiator Services has qualified and experienced electricians who will handle your trailer maintenance. Call us at 207-942-4554 to schedule an appointment.

Wheel Bearings
Wheel bearings are found inside of wheels, allowing the wheels to spin freely, and are connected to the brake system. They can become worn over time, causing a vibrating suspension and noisy rubbing as the car is driven. If they break completely, the vehicle will become very difficult to control and unsafe to drive. Replacement interval for wheel bearings varies greatly, but they should be checked for leaks and wear periodically. Auto Radiator Services can make sure that your bearings are in good shape and let you know if they need replacement.
