Rent Online Movies and Save your self Major Money

Perhaps you have been trying to find an online movie rental support, but were disappointed to locate that Netflix do not offer to Europe? What do they have against Canadians you may think about? Therefore I gone online and did a little research. It turns out there are possibilities available for people like us. I discovered the PERFECT online hire service with a HUGE movie library that features over 72,000 titles. With new produces being included daily you may have access to the latest new movies before anyone else. So do not put in the towel just because Netflix doesn’t offer to your home. You must give an alternative solution online movie rental companies a try.

Programs begin below $6.00 monthly so anyone can become a member. Depending on what type of audience you are, you can decided from eight various programs that are created to fit every movie observing lifestyle. If there isn’t time for you to watch more than several movies monthly there is a plan for you. If you’re an avid DVD audience, you may want to enter an unlimited plan. With these programs you can return and trade around three DVD at a time. If you should be a genuine DVD Viewer enthusiast, this present is sure to help you save a huge selection of pounds a year in hire charges alone. Different ideas permit you to rent up to eight shows at a time.

Online movie hire solutions immediately increase your home DVD library to add around 72,000 various movie titles. Daily new movies are increasingly being added for their site, and offered to you. Moving the online movie selection is straightforward and gives you most of the assets to find whatsoever movie suits your mood. If you’re into action movies or slather flicks online movie rental members have over 25 various movie genres to select from.

If you wish to locate a movie , but can’t recall the title, you are able to seek out the movie throughout that actor’s name. Or if you actually enjoy a particular director’s perform, you can find out every movie that director has made. Along with your online movie rental support you will find movies that you’d have never found at the video store, or movies that you long forgot about.

For people who suggested which they view only 1 to 3 movies each month the savings from hiring online are small. Renting 2 movies each month at the local movie keep could normal about $7.40 although renting from Netflix for instance, should they chose the master plan that’s a limit of 2 movies each month, might work $5.99. After finding a movie at the area store an individual could have over night or simply 1 week to go back the mobdro apk but an online hire will allow them to help keep the movie for an endless period of time.

For anyone people who responded that they see 1-3 movies each week, the savings would be more significant. As an example, renting 8 movies each month could run about $29.55 at the local keep and as low as $14.99 online should they chose the “2 out at the same time” plan or $17.99 for the “3 out at the same time” plan. As viewing increases so does the likelihood of experiencing better savings.

For folks who responded that they view 4 movies per week (averaged out to 16 per month) the average cost at the neighborhood keep will be $59.04 while online rental will be $23.99 allowing an individual “4 out at the same time “.Letting through a company like Netflix typically does not limit exactly how many movies an individual opinions but rather, exactly how many movies they could have out at any given time. Thus rentals are just about infinite with many of the plans.

The only thing difficult about getting your movies online is choosing what movies you wish to view first. Therefore by becoming a member of an online hire movie company that gives to your local area today and you may well be entitled to a free trial offer membership. Now you will have a way to investigate the wide range and great savings that having a rental movie service may offer. It’s cheaper than hiring that is inexpensive and simple to use.

My Approach

This page will give you a flavour of how I approach a wedding and the style of photography I deliver to my couples. If you’ve got this far then I’m hopeful you already love my work but, hiring a photographer is much more than that!

You’ll be with me for 10+ hours on the happiest day of your lives, so we really need to get on well and I need  you to trust me to capture your day, my way.

Mixed bag

My style of photography is a mixture, mainly made up of documentary and creative portraits. Those real, raw moments are what really drive me though. The shots I capture where you’re laughing in hysterics or sobbing like a child – those emotional moments of the day that in 10 or 20 years time will take you right back to that exact place in time.

“So the first official pictures are in..even the worst weather possible didn’t stop genius Lee Allison from capturing some stunning moments! Thank you for braving the rain and being so relaxed and awesome” – Sally & Chris

Bride and groom share a kiss in the Parky Hyatt Dubai's garden

Couple portraits

Two 15 minute slots for these on the day is perfect, ideally one being around sunset. Its the perfect time to have a few moments away from the craziness, and don’t worry, they’ll be super relaxed.

Be yourselves and I’ll capture you both together naturally as you are. Have a walk and talk about the day – did your maid of honour embarrass herself during bridal prep and you’re dying to tell your new husband about it? Now’s the time, and I’ll capture him cracking up.

Just have fun with it!

Bride and groom dancing in the sun

Family formals

I’m really not a fan of the word ‘formal’. It’s so far from what I’m about but, it describes the family shots that parents and grandparents seem to love!

Don’t get me wrong, I fully appreciate they are important and it’s important to capture them, but I want you both to crack on and enjoy your epic wedding party, not keep you hanging around posing with a stream of your family filtering past! There’s nothing worse than standing around for hours on end photographing every combination of family portrait. And honestly, if this is the most important part for you, then I’m probably not the right photographer for you!

I recommend around 6-8 group shots that cover your immediate family and bridal party. These should only take 20 minutes max!

Bride and groom with the bridesmaids

This is everything I’m about, capturing those fleeting moments that you may not even see on the day. It’s these small looks or laughs that build up the story of the day, and if everyone was standing around waiting for family group shots, these gorgeous shots wouldn’t happen.

It could be granny and grandad having a little moment watching the speeches, or your mum throwing some serious shapes on the dance floor! These are the images you really want to look back on, literally the essence of the day!

Grandad stokes his wife's face during the speeches

The party!

I love this part of the day because everyone’s loosened up and ready to let go!

I’ll be there right in the mix capturing those epic dance floor shots that we all love. I often shoot with natural light so I can capture the true atmosphere of the party.

Wedding guest dancing on a packed dance floor

That’s it!

So that’s it, that’s how I work on the day.

You put your trust in me and I will capture the most incredible moments of the best day of your life. Every photo you look at will transport you right back to that very moment, even if it’s two, three, even 20 years later!

It’s a bloody honour to be at anyones wedding, let alone be trusted to document it. I can’t believe I get to be so lucky to do this as a job and to make so many people smile.

Hopefully you’re down with all that and ready to chat? Book a consultation here and lets get this party started!…

Outsourcing giant Capita unveils plans to enter legal market as first ABS posts healthy financial results

Outsourcing giant Capita is to re-enter the UK legal market, having reached a conditional agreement to acquire Optima Legal Services, subject to approval from the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA). Capita submitted an alternative business structure (ABS) licence application last week.

In an ironic twist, Capita’s plans have emerged three years after the SRA ordered Optima to break ties with the outsourcing group after the regulator found the relationship had breached rules governing non-lawyer investment in firms.

The move by Capita, as a non-legal services provider, to invest in Optima in 2006 unsurprisingly caught the attention of the SRA, which severely reprimanded Optima over its relationship with Capita.

But Capita will now acquire Optima, which specialises in property, debt recovery and litigation work, as well as its subsidiary Cost Advocates, which specialises in legal costs drafting and negotiation services, for an undisclosed sum. The proposed acquisition of Optima Legal will create a 600-strong legal services team, with 150 legally qualified personnel and 50 solicitors.

The acquisition will become part of a new wholly-owned subsidiary of Capita -Capita Legal Services- and will offer regulated and non-regulated legal services to the banking, insurance, government, legal and corporate markets.

Head of Capita Legal Services, James Cowan, said: ‘Because of the way globalisation and the recession is driving the agenda towards efficient, effective and value for money services, clients require greater streamlined legal panels and more effective in-house legal teams.’

Optima senior litigation partner Philip Robinson, added: ‘Capita’s ownership will allow us to accelerate our growth plans and build a stronger business and service proposition.’

While Capita and Optima finally got their happy ending, more good news for ABSs emerged this week, with strong financial results from Premier Property Lawyers’ myhomemove – the UK’s first ABS licence holder.

The country’s largest conveyancing business, which became an ABS on 6 October 2011, recorded a 14% rise in turnover in 2012 to £26.6m with net profit increasing from £994,000 in 2011 to £5m.

The company partly attributed the growth to the stabilising of the housing market last year following the launch of the government’s Funding for Lending and NewBuy schemes, coupled with the ready availability of Buy-to-Let mortgages.

Doug Crawford, CEO of myhomemove said: ‘Whilst 2012 ended on a high, with house prices up by 3.4%, it was still a tough 12 months for those working in the sector. It was our ability to respond to the changing market, due to our early investment in our staff, new technology and customer service practices which led to our success.’

Meanwhile, Australian-listed ABS Slater & Gordon has underlined the strength of its purchasing power in the UK with the launch of its first television campaign with a trio of adverts, spending in excess of £1m to boost the brand.

Using M&C Saatchi to create the adverts, with each of the three focusing on key planks of the business: personal injury, employment and family, will air in a mix of both peak and off peak time slots.

The firm said its objective was to ‘build a strong brand that has meaning in an increasingly diversifying UK market, [and] to create resonance with clients.’

The firm’s strategy to make inroads on the personal injury market in particular has been raising heads in the profession, as illustrated by its recent acquisition of Fentons, as well as its landmark £53.8m deal with Russell Jones & Walker, followed swiftly by a tie-up with Goodmans Law and Taylor Vinters.

Ick! The -ix!

Whistling girls and crowing hens
Always come to some bad end.1

whistling.girlThey are decidedly odd to the modern eye, these words from an older time.

They are even odder to the modern ear, if you ever hear them spoken aloud.

And even though The Legal Genealogist‘s younger kin accuse her of living in the past, even my now-ancient law school experience didn’t prepare me for dealing with these words from an older time.

Even to me, they look and sound weird.

Downright icky, that -ix ending.

But we encounter them all the time in older legal documents, so …

First off, the ending really isn’t -ix, it’s -trix:

a suffix occurring in loanwords from Latin, where it formed feminine nouns or adjectives corresponding to agent nouns ending in -tor, (Bellatrix). On this model, -trix, is used in English to form feminine nouns (aviatrix; executrix) and geometrical terms denoting straight lines ( directrix).

A suffix borrowed directly from Latin, -trix has been used since the 15th century on feminine agent nouns that correspond to a masculine (in Latin) or generic (in English) agent noun ending in -tor: aviator, aviatrix; legislator, legislatrix; orator, oratrix.2

And an agent noun, by the way, is “a noun denoting the doer of an action, as editor or jogger.”3

So in reality we should be dealing here with a woman of action, right? An oratrix, for example, is currently defined as “a woman who delivers an oration; a public speaker, especially one of great eloquence.”4

Um… no.

Because, as usual, the law has its own set of definitions. So when you come across these words in a dusty old court record, keep in mind that even the underlying term (orator, for a male) may have meant something different when used in a legal context.

But so that you won’t have to go off looking for just the right definition, here’s your cheat sheet of common terms ending in -trix that you’re likely to encounter in legal documents:

Actrix. “Lat. A female actor; a female plaintiff.”5

Administratrix. “A female who administers, or to whom letters of administration have been granted.”6

Creditrix. “A female creditor.”7

Curatrix. “A woman who has been appointed to the office of curator; a female guardian.”8

Disseisitrix. “A female disseisor; a disseisoress.”9

Emtrix. “In the civil law. A female purchaser; the purchaser.”10

Executrix. “A woman who has been appointed by will to execute such will or testament.”11

Inheretrix. “The old term for ‘heiress’.”12

Oratrix. “A female petitioner; a female plaintiff in a bill in chancery was formerly so called.”13

Pandoxatrix. “An ale-wife; a woman that both brewed and sold ale and beer.”14

Procuratrix. “In old English law. A female agent or attorney in fact.”15

Prosecutrix. “In criminal law. A female prosecutor.”16

Relatrix. “In practice. A female relator or petitioner.”17

Testatrix. “A woman who makes a will; a woman who dies leaving a will; a female testator.”18

Venditrix. “Lat. A female vendor.”19

Now excuse me please. I have an irresistable impulse to go whistle.

A commercial lease is necessary when you are renting out a place to do business. The lease dictates the terms between the landlord and the commercial tenant, including the duration of the lease and the responsibility for building maintenance.

General Rules for Commercial Lease Negotiation

The general rule of a lease is that the landlord initiates it. With that said, the lease tends to be in favor of the landlord. Regardless, the tenant has the authority to negotiate very favorable terms.

How Should I Prepare For Negotiations?

Before you enter into negotiation, you must know what you want and what leeway you are willing to give. Essentially, you will need a negotiation strategy.

To develop the strategy, you must determine all the available vacancies in your area to gauge how much negotiations room you have. Additionally, you should consider whether you want to sign a letter of intent, which is a statement stating that both landlord and tenant are in serious negotiations and want the lease to go through.

What Terms Should the Tenant Negotiate?

Keep in mind; all terms of the lease are negotiable. However, depending on the market, you may be limited in your negotiation powers.

Nevertheless, key terms of the commercial lease should include:

  • Duration of the lease
  • Rent and rent increase per period of time
  • Option to renew the lease
  • Early termination of the lease
  • Tenant improvements
  • Subleases and assignments

Do I Need a Lawyer?

Commercial leases contain lots of complex terms, which make them difficult to understand. To successfully negotiate the terms of the lease, you should speak with an experienced real estate lawyer.

LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe 427/390hp

  Chevrolet Corvette, C2 for 2nd Generation and also known as the Corvette Stingray, is the American sports car legend produced for the 1963 to 1967 model years. The radical exterior styling of this Corvette generation was very purposeful, with peaked fenders, a long nose, and a short, bobbed tail. Chevrolet designers actually bragged about the styling at the time, saying: 'looks most stylists would be too timid to even suggest'. The 1967 Corvette Stingray was the last Corvette of the second generation, and five years of refinements made it the best of the line. Changes were modest for '67. Five smaller front fender vents replaced the three larger ones, new single backup light mounted above the license plate. The previous models' wheel covers gave way to slotted six-inch Rally wheels with chrome beauty rings and lug nuts concealed behind chrome caps. Interior alterations included revised upholstery, and the handbrake moved from beneath the dash to between the seats. The L36 engine package cost the original buyer an extra $200.15. This is one of only 8,504 Coupes for the production year that put 22,940 Corvettes on the road so once again the Coupe was the rare model. The base price for the '67 Coupe was $4353.

  This 1967 Chevrolet Corvette was built on 12/22/1966 and was sold new at Wolcott Chevrolet Cadillac in Bath, New York. Finished in its very desirable, factory correct livery of code 900AA Tuxedo Black with White stinger and factory 420AA Saddle vinyl interior this Corvette coupe looks stunning! This car is powered by the numbers matching L36 427 factory rated at 390hp and numbers matching M20 Muncie transmission. It comes optioned with Pushbutton AM/FM Radio, Tinted Glass, Side Exhaust, Posi Traction 3.36 Rear Axle and Telescopic Steering Wheel. Rally wheels with White line bias ply tires finish the appearance of the classic Corvette. With only 815 factory built Tuxedo Black Corvettes produced in 1967, make it the rarest and most disable of any color offered.

  A 1967 Corvette coupe is one of the most timeless designs ever produced, guaranteed to never go out of style! Being a factory 427ci painted Tuxedo Black with Saddle interior and with its options list, makes this 1967 Corvette one of the most desirable combinations ever built!

Heartbreakers (2001)

HEARTBREAKERS, sneaked on Saturday, is a fun-cast, at-times funny,
and, alas, both overlong and overplayed con-woman comedy (with ro-
mance!) starring Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love-Hewitt as a mo-
ther-and-daughter tag-team trying to love and leave one last, big
fish-- a chain-smoking Palm Beach billionaire slash walking corpse
played with wheezing, gray-toothed gusto by Gene Hackman.  Yup, DIRTY
ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS 2.  And, actually, Rudolph Red Nose is *Mom's* con.
Hewitt's character spends most of *her* screen time chasing a beach-
combing bartender played by Jason Lee.  He's potentially worth mil-
lions, but seems inexplicably fazed her many ultra-tight, ultra-short
dresses.  (Hewitt appears as such for *most* of the movie, so the Wo-
ody Factor [WF] is pretty high.  Wohoo!)

Sex jokes and slapstick seduction ensues, with amusement *most* a-
plenty when parent and child compete *against* each other.  Such as a
bar bit featuring *the* year's best line-- a deadpan howler about...
snack foods.  Regrettably, monotony is far more common than mirth.
Part of the problem is that there's barely any overall spontaneity or
snap.  Far worse is the flip-flopping tone, which tries to be both
side-splitting silly and believably believable.  (It's largely nei-
ther.)  At least the cameos are fun, including Anne Bancroft, a grim-
looking Carrie Fisher, and Ray "Got Brains?" Liotta as a jilted Jer-
sey chop-shop owner.  (He book-ends the film with some sorely spunk.)

And Hackman's a stitch, happily hacking his way through hard-trying
scene after hard-trying scene, cigarette a-dangling and a cloud of
smoke swirling about blazing liver spots.  (And how the Hell he kept
a straight face while expounding on "hot, red, engorged nostrils" is
anybody's guess.)  To the film's credit, the script is loaded-down
with quite a *few* crack cracks.  "Space and sh*t," "May I grab your
nuts," etc.  And, of course, there's the supreme star-pairing of Wea-
ver and Hewitt.  Sure, they overact most of the time, but at least
they're (kinda) compelling to watch when the movie isn't.  Directed
"R"/123 min.)

Business LoansHow Does a Merchant Cash Advance Work?

Merchant Cash Advance Companies – Should You Use One?

Editorial Note: The content of this article is based on the author’s opinions and recommendations alone. It may not have been previewed, commissioned or otherwise endorsed by any of our network partners.

Rates & Fees in this piece are accurate as of the date of publishing.

As a small business owner, you may find it tough to get approved for a traditional bank loan. That will especially be true if you have poor credit or have been in business for less than two years (the usual threshold banks look for in approving business loans). But many small businesses need financing at some point, whether it’s to grow the business, take advantage of an opportunity or cover a cash flow shortfall. And many owners will turn to alternative lenders for that financing.

Alternative lenders often have lower requirements for loan approval and can turn around a loan much faster than a bank. The tradeoff is that the cost of the financing in the form of interest and fees will almost always be higher.

One of those alternative types of funding is a merchant cash advance. It’s a quick and fairly easy form of financing, but one you’ll have to be careful about since it can be very expensive.

Understanding merchant cash advances

A merchant cash advance isn’t a loan, but, as the name suggests, a cash advance. With an MCA, you agree to pay back the advance with a certain percentage of your future debit and credit card sales until that amount and the fee is paid off. The payments are usually taken out daily or weekly. Some payments are a fixed amount no matter what your sales are, while most are a percentage based on how your sales are that day. So if your sales are higher than usual that day, you’ll pay more, and if they’re lower, you’ll pay less. The repayment period is usually short, typically 24 months at the most.

MCAs are a very fast form of financing. Funding is usually approved in two to 24 hours, with funding coming anywhere from 24 hours to three days after approval. The approval requirements for an MCA are also much less stringent than for a bank loan or most types of financing. Someone with a credit score of 600 or less (considered poor credit) could be approved for an MCA where a bank would likely require a credit score of at least 680. Many merchant cash advance companies will also require only six months time in business and some may require even less if your business has strong revenues.

Merchant cash advance companies

If you’re considering an MCA, you’ll want to think about the ramifications of the advance itself and research the company that’s offering the MCA. Here is a look at some of the major merchant cash advance companies.

    • CAN Capital — CAN Capital offers short-term loans to small and mid-sized businesses as well as MCAs. They offer MCA funding amounts from $2,500 to $250,000 with funding in a few days or less. Business performance and cash flow will be considered for approval and there is no collateral required. Repayments are daily and vary according to the business sales that day. The company charges a $395 administrative fee to set up the MCA.
  • Credibly —  Credibly offers MCAs up to $150,000, with a typical duration of 3 to 14 months. The lowest factor rate starts at 1.15. Credibly charges a one-time underwriting fee of 2.5% of the total advanced amount deducted from your proceeds. To qualify for an MCA, you’ll need a credit score of 500 or above, six months or more in business and $15,000 in average monthly bank deposits. The remittance number fluctuates with your daily sales.
  • Fora Financial — The company offers $5,000 to $500,000 in funding for its MCAs, which may be funded within 72 hours of approval, which you’ll know within 24 hours. Fora Financial offers early payoff discounts and does not require collateral. To qualify for an MCA with Fora Financial, you’ll need at least six months in business, $5,000 or more in monthly credit sales and no open bankruptcies or dismissed bankruptcies in the past  year.
  • The Business Backer — The Business Backer offers a variety of types of small business funding, everything from long- and short-term loans to lines of credit and SBA loans to invoice factoring. For its MCAs, it offers MCA funding of $5,000 to $200,000 and the option of daily, weekly or semi-monthly repayments. The lowest factor rate starts at 1.12.
  • Reliant Funding — Approval for an MCA through Reliant Funding usually happens in a few hours and funding typically comes the next day. Reliant Funding offers advances between $5,000 and $500,000. Approval requirements include at least one year in business, at least $10,000 in monthly sales and no open bankruptcies. Personal collateral isn’t required.
  • Rapid Finance — Rapid Finance offerings include small business loans, a line of credit, an SBA bridge loan and an MCA. Repayment for the MCA is based on a percentage of a business’s daily credit card sales. To qualify, most business owners will need $5,000 a month in revenue and have one year in business. Approval may come as quickly as a few hours and funding in one day. Business owners can potentially receive up to 250 percent of their monthly credit card sales volume. Rapid Finance also offers a starter MCA that offers businesses with as few as three months of credit card sales to apply for funding of up to 50 percent of monthly average credit card sales. Lower cost options may be available to businesses in operation for three years or more.

How expensive are MCAs?

Because MCAs aren’t loans, they’re not regulated by a state’s usury laws. Which among other things, means there’s no limit to how much interest an MCA company can charge. MCAs don’t use APR, but a factor rate to charge interest. Most factor rates are between 1.2 and 1.5. To find out how much you’ll repay, you would multiply the amount of your advance by the factor rate. So if you borrowed $10,000 and your factor rate is 1.3, you would need to pay back $13,000.

But you can and should convert your factor rate to an APR. The APR range for a MCA can be very high, between 70 to 200 percent. That’s partly because of the short repayment period and how often the payments are taken out (daily or weekly, versus a bank term loan which is almost always monthly). You’ll also have to think about your remittance fee (that’s the percentage of your sales that is being taken out to pay back the advance).

To figure out your APR, let’s use the example of having borrowed $10,000 at a 1.3 factor rate, meaning you would pay back $13,000. If the merchant cash advance company takes 11 percent (your remittance) a day from your credit sales to repay the advance and you usually make about $15,000 a month in credit sales, you would make 237 payments of $55 a day to equal an 84.6% APR.

You’ll also need to watch out for fees. Some fees like an origination fee (charged to process the MCA) or penalties for late payment might not be included in the upfront costs of the MCA.

Pros and cons of MCAs

The approval process for an MCA is much faster than with a traditional loan and easier to get for borrowers with poor credit scores or new business owners. You can apply for an MCA online and if approved, sometimes receive funding as quickly as that day or the next day.

MCAs offer a little more flexibility than a term loan because the repayment is usually based on a percentage of your sales versus a fixed amount of principle and interest due each month. But MCAs are almost always more expensive than a regular loan. Because MCAs aren’t loans, there’s no regulation on how much in interest rates companies can charge.

At the same time, MCA companies can’t ask for a personal guarantee — a written promise that allows lenders to sue for your personal assets if you default on a business loan. Many MCA companies, however, will ask for a performance guarantee, which means you promise you won’t take actions like selling the business or filing for bankruptcy that could hurt the performance of the business.

Pros Cons
 No obligation to repay the advance  Usually much more expensive than a traditional loan
 Easier and quicker approval process than for a regular loan  Typically no discount for early repayment
 Fast funding, possibly as little as 24 hours  Some fees may not be disclosed upfront

Alternative financing options

If you have good credit or other factors that would allow you to qualify for a loan or an alternate type of financing, it would probably be smart to look there first before turning to an MCA. That’s especially true if you don’t need the money immediately. Here are some alternative financing options to consider.

Invoice factoring — With invoice factoring, a business sells its unpaid invoices to a factoring company for a percentage of upfront cash, with the factoring company eventually collecting on the invoices. In most cases, businesses can immediately (sometimes within 24 hours) secure between 50 to 80 percent of an outstanding invoice by selling it to a factoring company. Whenever the invoice comes due, the balance is sent to your company minus a factoring fee (typically 3 to 5 percent) — and that percent is deducted daily or weekly until the invoice is paid.

Equipment financingEquipment loans allow businesses to finance equipment purchases, which can include anything from computers to vehicles. Often the equipment being financed serves as the collateral for the loan. These loans usually require good credit and sometimes large down payments.

Business credit cards — Having a credit card for business expenses can be useful to cover short-term purchases and to build credit history. Business credit cards are usually much easier to be approved for than a loan, but the APR will be much higher if you’re carrying a balance.

Microloans — If you only need a small loan, a microloan may be an option. These are loans of usually under $50,000, offered by organizations such as the Small Business Administration and nonprofit lenders. The interest rates may be higher than from big banks, but the approval process is usually less stringent.

Line of credit — These are typically revolving lines that offer an immediate source of cash up to a certain limit. Business owners can draw from the line of credit when needed and only have to repay the amount they’ve drawn. Interest is also only paid on the amount drawn.

The bottom line

Before you consider an MCA, think about your other options. Would you be approved for a short-term loan or a business line of credit? And figure out how much an MCA would fully cost, including converting your costs into an APR so it’s easier to compare against other types of funding. If you opt for an MCA, make sure you know the true cost, including fees, the factor rate and the remittance fee. Your end goal should be feeling confident that you can afford to pay back the advance without hurting your business and hopefully without needing to take on more than one MCA at a time.

Origami-Inspired Foldable Solar Arrays

Georgia Tech Masters Thesis Project, 2020

Advisor: Lisa Marks

Thesis Committee: Glaucio Paulino, Athanos Economou

Solar is the most abundant power source on the planet and the future of sustainable energy.

Populated areas have the highest energy demand, but these areas are already developed and divided into small privately-owned pieces, making it difficult to implement solar energy collection at scale.

Origami offers many solutions to elegantly stowing materials into small volume, and one origami pattern in particular,

the Iso- Area Flasher, is especially attractive in this regard.

In practice, the thickness of real-world materials brings many complexities and obstacles that often prevent these products from coming about.

The Project: Redesigning Solar Panels to be anywhere we need them.

Project Goal:

  • To research, identify, and remove the obstacles that prevent the Flasher origami pattern from being employed in solar arrays and other thick-material product applications.

Crease pattern of a hexagonal origami flasher

Paper prototypes of origami Flasher, able to store a large surface areas by rotating it around a central polygon

Why focus on the Flasher pattern?

The mechanism by which a flasher opens and closes bears close resemblance to a natural botanical movement exhibited by flowers called nyctinasty.

Our solar panels have the same exact needs and use case as flowers:

  • open configuration, to maximize exposure to pollinators/sunlight

  • closed configuration, to protect vulnerable material from forces

  • efficient maneuverability between these two configurations

This structure is the result of natural selection, meaning it is highly

efficient at what it does, and worthy of emulating in human designs.

Flasher Pattern Varieties

A thin-material origami Flasher can be made out of any flat surface.  This is done by determining a central polygon, then subdividing the surrounding area into panels of the correct geometries that allow rotational folding.

While any regular polygon can be used as the Flasher center, I chose to focus my research on hexagon-based Flashers.

This is because  hexagons are the best shape.

other opinions are wrong

Rotational nyctinasty in the Datura Flower.

These are some of the benefits of using hexagons in this application:

Hexagons have the most efficient packing density of the regular polygons. This has a large potential for opening mechanisms and multi-panel assemblies.

Hexagon have the least sharp corners

of the regular tiling polygons. Sharp corners place high amounts of stress on hinge mechanisms and panel structures.

Hexagon sides perfectly align to an isometric grid system, which provides an accessible framework for building models.

In a system with many variables, choosing one single shape-center helped define and focus the project scope.

Previous Work and State of Knowledge

of the Flasher Pattern

  • The first Iso-Area folding pattern first appeared in 1987 in Origami for the Connoissuer by Toshikazu Kawasaki, who introduced it in a square rose pattern known as the Kawasaki rose. The original design did not feature any thickness-accommodation elements.

In 2013, a team at Brigham Young University's Compliant Mechanism Research Lab used the Flasher pattern in a concept for an orbital solar array.

Origami expert Robert Lang authored the paper "Single Degree-of-Freedom Rigidly Foldable Cut Origami Flashers" in Journal of Mechanisms and Robotics with researchers from BYU in 2016.

  • This publication describes the parametric relationships which determine the angles of crease lines on the Flasher crease pattern, including variables for thickness-accommodation elements, most-notably ε.

  • Thickness accommodation was achieved by using a hinge-thickening method called Flexible Membrane Technique, which allowed for the creation of a high-fidelity physical model.

ε = 0°

ε = 4°

ε = 9°

Remaining Obstacles

The Flexible Membrane Technique widens gaps between panels, which reduces rigidity in the overall system and requires an additional ring structure to surround the model and apply forces from all sides.

The original origami model has single degree-of-freedom movement, so the thick-material solution for this model should not require this type of ring structure.

Remaining Obstacles

The geometry produced is a 2D crease pattern, and is somewhat limited to materials which behave like paper; taking creases and folding from a single large sheet.

To use thick and rigid materials such as wood or metal,  the interactions of thick-material hinges and vertices must integrated into the same model.

Project Success Criteria

The Prototype Goal of the project is to make a physical model of a rigid thick-material origami Flasher that preserves the advantages of the thin paper model. Things like:

This Methodology Goal of the project is to make a process that determines geometry for functional models of the Flasher, so that this pattern could be used for a variety of applications with different parameter requirements. This process should be:

Compact face-to-face stowage & economy of space

Portability for remote energy collection

Single Degree-of-Freedom maneuverability between configurations

Center of mass for strong mountability

Energy collection on par with existing solar array models by area

Fully parametric process, taking material thickness and number of panel layers as input variables

Approachable process, enabling users without full understand of all origami engineering principles

Design Process

I built physical models at every stage of the process. This helped me:

understand the existing research

build an intuition for panel interactions

make tangible examples of parameter changes

variable ranges

investigate new

research directions

Digital Design & Parametric Modeling

I used digital modeling tools to specify, highlight, and track individual features of the Flasher pattern. The hexagonal rotational symmetry was utilized to divide the pattern into identical subgroups representative of the whole.

Integrating Thick-Material Hinge Geometry

I integrated Lang's model of 2D parametric Flasher crease pattern generation with thick hinge geometry models, treating the panels as 3D volumes instead of 2D flat shapes.

Algorithmic Modeling Software

I used Fusion 360 and Rhino/Grasshopper for 3D-modeling and ideation.

Large Scale Thick-Material Prototype

To show that all aspects of thickness accommodation have been addressed, I built a model from a completely thick-rigid material. This model is made from 1/4" (6.3mm) basswood, and opens and closes smoothly. Due to exclusively using the hinge-shift technique and using inherent parameters to calculate panel geometries, the model both retains effective single degree-of-freedom movement (openable by articulating a single hinge), and also optimally compact during stowage. This model also retained planarity of bottom hinges, as shown by the flat bottom on the right.  There are 4 panel layers on this model, but this was only due to the limitations of feasibility of building the physical prototype: my thickness accommodation framework allows for an arbitrary number of panels to be stowed around the central polygon.

Next Steps

This is an ongoing project: I am currently developing the next iteration of digitally-fabricated high-fidelity prototype.

Future phases of the project will see the incorporation of real photovoltaic solar materials into the thick-material Flasher.

On March 31, 2015, the CFTC issued no-action relief, subject to specified conditions, to provisionally registered swap dealers from compliance with certain CFTC regulations. The regulations relate to business conduct standards with counterparties and swap trading relationship documentation when entering into swaps with certain special purpose vehicles (“SPVs”) in existence prior to October 10, 2013. Such swaps are referred to as “Legacy SPV Swaps” and the documentation governing the Legacy SPV Swaps are referred to as “Legacy SPV Swap Documentation.” As outlined in the request for the no-action relief, SPVs are entities established for very limited purposes and the permitted activities of SPVs, therefore, are significantly limited through covenants contained in their constitutive documents and transaction agreements. Since they are not operating entities, SPVs rely on third-party service providers to satisfy the SPV’s obligations under the Legacy SPV Swap Documentation and the various structured finance transaction agreements. As the specified CFTC regulations were not contemplated or addressed under the Legacy SPV Swap Documentation and related structured finance transaction agreements, there are consequent legal and practical impediments to third-party service providers taking the steps on behalf of SPVs that may be necessary to comply with the regulatory obligations set forth under the CFTC regulations.

In the no-action relief, the CFTC stated that no enforcement action would be taken against swap dealers for failure to comply with certain CFTC regulations as such regulations may apply to a Legacy SPV Swap.

The CFTC Staff Letter 15-21 is available at: http://www.cftc.gov/ucm/groups/public/@lrlettergeneral/documents/letter/15-21.pdf

Kamara Tests Code of Conduct at Supreme Court

The decision on whether several candidates who did not resign prior to the enforcement of the Code of Conduct (CoC) will contest the 2017 presidential and legislative elections now rests with the Supreme Court.

The court will make the determination on Monday, July 10.  On March 3 of this year, however, in a majority decision (3 for and 2 against) the Supreme Court pronounced the Code of Conduct legally binding and compliant with the Liberian Constitution.

The Supreme Court’s latest intervention is the result of a complaint filed by Abu Kamara, Assistant Minister for Administration at the Ministry of Post and Telecommunication, and District#15 representative aspirant.

If the Supreme Court denies Kamara’s request, it means that the electoral commission will be given the power to disqualify several candidates for failing to comply with all the provisions of the CoC.

On the contrary, if it decides against, it will mean that the Supreme Court will at least relax its position on the CoC, which it had initially described as “constitutional.”

These are some of the legal issues that the five justices of the Supreme Court will be deciding on Monday, as part of their commitment to adequately address future election disputes.

In his complaint, Kamara argued that the National Elections Commission (NEC), without any legal basis and support consistent with the process, denied and rejected his application on grounds that he is prohibited from contesting public office by the Code of Conduct.

Section 5.9 of the code provides that “Any public official, after due process, who is found guilty of violating any provision of this section, should be immediately removed from the position or office held by him/her and thereafter no part of the funds appropriated by any law for such position or office should be used to pay compensation to such person.”

Kamara also argued that there was no due process accorded him for the NEC to disqualify his application to contest as a representative aspirant for Montserrado County District #15.

PART XV, Section 15.1 of the Code of Conduct on sanctions for infringement states: “Sanctions for any breach of this Code of Conduct shall be those prescribed by the Standing Orders of the Civil Service or any other laws governing the public service.”

Notwithstanding, depending on the gravity of the offense or misconduct, one or more of the following penalties may apply: dismissal; removal from office in the public interest; reprimand; fine or making good of the loss or damage of public property/assets; demotion (reduction in rank); seizure and forfeiture to the state of any property acquired from abuse of office; and interdiction/suspension from duty with half pay.

Kamara argued that those enumerated sanctions made no mention of exclusion from participating in the elections.

He claimed that the action and grounds used by the NEC to reject him were inconsistent with the laws and standing order.

“The ground for disqualifying me was vague and ambiguous on the face of the notice of rejection and that the notice also failed to state specifically the provision of the Code of Conduct for public officials that was alleged to be violated by me,” Kamara put his defense forward. “Therefore, the court should declare NEC’s decision unlawful as well as arbitrary and unconstitutional.”

Kamara said though he had not resigned two years prior to the 2017 elections, “it does not warrant disqualification to contest as a candidate in Section 15.1 of the CoC.”

Section 5.2 (a) of the Code of Conduct, states that “Ministers, Deputy Ministers, Directors General, Superintendents desiring to run must resign 2 years prior to the election; and section 5.2 (b) states that any other officials appointed by the president, holding a tenured position must resign 3 years prior to the election.”

Before Kamara’s disqualification, NEC chairman Jerome G. Korkoya said the NEC would strictly enforce the Code.

“What the NEC will be doing is to comply strictly with the Supreme Court’s interpretation of the Code of Conduct… whatever the Supreme Court says will be followed to the letter,” Cllr. Korkoya said.

  • Anthony Kokoi is a young Liberian sports writer who has an ever-growing passion for the development of the game of football (soccer) and other sports. For the past few years, he has been passionately engaged in reporting the developments of the game in the country. He is an associate member of the Sports Writers Association of Liberia (SWAL). He is a promoter of young talents. He also writes match reports and makes an analysis of Liberian Football.

  1. WE shall see if the Francis Korkpor Supreme Court shall bow to the selfish desires of lawbreakers and the whims and caprices of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and Bad Governance Commission Amos Sawyer and overrule its own current Supreme Court’s precedence established just weeks ago when it voted 3 for and 2 against the constitutionality of this very provision of the Code of Conduct Law!

  2. Does “ex post facto law” exist in Liberia? People who were in position before the law was passed must not be affected. This ‘retrogressive law’ is NOT protected by the Constitution. Contest the application of the law, everybody.

  3. This law is both unconstitutional and unjust. Any law that restricts, subrogate or denied one group of citizens their inherent right, while at the same time affording that same right to another group of citizens, is unconstitutional and unjust. All citizens must protest and challenge this law until the legislature do the right thing and repeal it NOW, before the elections.
    A more appropriate and equal law for all citizens , would be one in which All have the right to contest elections, whether in government service or not.Those in government service must separate their official functions from their campaign.They should reimburse government from their campaign funds when any government property is used in their quest for elected office. WE CANNOT AND WE SHOULD NOT ENCOURAGE SEGREGATION IN ANY FORM. SEGREGATION TO ANY ONE GROUP OF LIBERIANS , IS SEGREGATION TO ALL LIBERIANS.I intent to ensure that is law is repeal and I ask ALL LIBERIANS to join me. Call your representative and demand REPEAL.

  4. As we awaits the Supreme Court ruling which might ignite a term of violence or continuity of sustainable peace on July 10, 2017; thereby providing the means for Liberians to understand the characters involved with our Justice System, we choose to serve as a reminder like many others that March 3rd of this same year 3 justices voted constitutional and 2 unconstitutional the Code of Conduct…
    “The question is who amongst the 3 justices will denied and defend the CoC as unconstitutional”?? The characters and oath of legal practitioners are at stick. Let law take it course….
    “Let Justice be done to all”

    • Anderson Jr. Why you think that there will be Violence if the Law of the LAND is up head. Do you actually want Liberians not to obey the LAW of Liberia? I taught people like you will want for the country to establish some kind of rules. We Liberians always talk about violence as if to say that is the only way we believe we can solve problems in Liberia. Peace will remains in Liberia no matter how you pray to get your point through violence.

      • So even people in the USA write this kind of English?
        The law will be upheld not up head.
        Peace will remain not will remains

  5. “Bad laws are hard to enforce, while good laws are easy to enforce.” And secondly, “laws are descriptive or prescriptive”. Something to think about in the national interest.

  6. Justice was done to all when the very Francis Korkpor BENCH ruled via IMPLICIT AND EXPLICIT PRONOUNCEMENT AND JUDGEMENT(hereunderin quotation) that section 15.2 in the Code of Conduct Act IS CONSTITUTIONAL AND HAS NO LIGAMENTS TO EXPOST FACTO LAWS, BUT INDEED A LAW ON THE eligibility requirements, VIZ elections!

    Besides prohibition OR unconstitutionality of ex post facto laws applies to criminal offenses,which is NOT THE CASE WITH THE COC IN GENERAL OR section 15.2 in the Code of Conduct IN PARTICULAR!!!!!!!!!!!

    “A scrupulous review of the Liberian Constitution leaves no shred of uncertainty that the geniuses of the constitution intended to and clearly granted extraordinary powers to the legislature to make laws and regulating matters of public governance including elections and referenda. These include the authority to set eligibility requirements for candidates as the legislature may deem compelling to further overriding state interest and to enhance public policy probity. Under the circumstance, to propose as the petitioner has done, that the legislature is prohibited from conscripting new and additional eligibility requirements for candidates vying for public offices, or that the legislature, by the inclusion of section 15.2 in the Code of Conduct Act, amended the Constitution, is absurd. In the light of the broad authority and powers our forbearers and the crafters of the Constitution have rested in the legislature, such contention must be rejected.”

    So if this sameand very benchgoes back on its word and bend backwards to the whims and caprices of lawbreakers such as Ellen Johnson Sirleaf,Amos Sawyer, Abu Kamara, Alex Cummings,Harrison Karnwea, Mills Jones etc. etc. then the Supreme Court has simply proven itself to be A KANGAROO SUPREME COURT! NO BENCH OVERRULES ITS OWN PRECEDENCE/PRESEDENT ESTABLISHED IN JUST FEW WEEKS!!!

  7. We will wait and see what the Supreme Court will rule on the issue at hand though I think this should handle by the office of the Ombudsmen.
    The constitutionality of the CoC is clear as stated by the Supreme Court and as such should be honored and respected fully.

  8. As Mr. Kandajaba Zoebohn Zoedjallah astutely anticipates, our august Supreme Court goes where the Ellen winds blow: follow her orders to a T!

  9. Mr. Kandajaba Z. Zoedjallah, the marriage of the Supreme Court
    Francis Korkpor and the Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf Executive Mansion
    is so strong that the Judiciary and the Executive are no longer in
    separation system of the Constitution of Liberia. It is also a shameful
    calling the Code of Conduct a Constitutional. Shameful because that
    Code did not go through national Referendum to become Constitutional.
    So my brother, no matter whatever case is before the Supreme Court
    that has link to the Code of Conduct is a done deal for the Court. That
    is the problem Liberia has had from the past and continues today.

  10. Mr. Zoedjallah and et, your argument with regards to the constitutionality of this law is spurious and disingenuous. It only conforms to a narrow interpretation of the constitution ,in that it provides the legislature the mechanism of making laws. It is disingenuous in that , ALL LAWS CRAFTED BY THE LEGISLATURE ARE NOT DEEM CONSTITUIONAL if they do not conform to the tenants of the constitution. The genius of the constitution is vivid in that only LAWS THAT PROVIDE EQUAL PROTECTION TO ALL CITIZENS are CONSTITUTIONAL.THE supreme court is the body that has the prerogative to clarify an act/rule/order or constitutionality of laws. Yes , there are times when a good jurist will see the light of day and reverse him/her selves on a ruling that tends to discriminate against one group of people for the benefit of another. For the life of me, I cannot seem to comprehend how you well learned gentlemen can see a law that is so glaringly wrong ,and support it for whatever reasons you may have. A Bad law is a Bad law. it is a wicked law.The so purpose is to discriminate against one group of people-the appointed civil servant and reward another group-the elected. where is the justice for all. in this law.

  11. Ernest, you have mis-informed others concerning my previous comment; I am no way in support of the bridge of the Supreme laws of our country, I support the Code of Conduct for it is a Law which passed through due process and is consider constitutional…. My statement was ” the incoming ruling of the Supreme Court might cause crisis or maintain peace in our country”… I still maintain that the Justice system should be straight…
    Let Justice hold those lawbreakers…
    I support the Laws of our country..

  12. Mr. E. Tyson Lewis,

    The Equal Protection Clause could be invoked in this matter if The Law targetted or targets people based on such as sex/gender, ethnicity, religion, complexion, other physical traits, economic status or political ideology, or the appointed public officials or civil servants did not enjoy the equal protection of the law viz their freedom of choice to voluntarily and unilaterally decide to become a candidate or decide not to be a candidate.

  13. The silent majority will not allow any violence in this nation. The decision of the Supreme Court is scripted cannot hide from the Liberian people’s code. If a complaint flexes the law, this has no binding impetus on the precedence set forth by the constitution. The Highest Court of this land seeks the truth as the basic function to its interpretation exclusively from execution or compilation legislation of this land; a big functional divide if not a wall between them branches of Government. So no matter how, no physical crisis exist. Thus, NEC has no alternative but to accept the Supreme jurisprudence, when given. Either fry okra or boil chicken, the fufu is standing by.
    I am not in your politics. Gone in silence. Tell the voters. I need no answer.

  14. P. Allison Tarlue, Sr. July 6, 2017 at 5:50 pm

    Mr. Kandajaba Z. Zoedjallah, the marriage of the Supreme Court

    that has link to the Code of Conduct is a done deal for the Court. That
    is the problem Liberia has had from the past and continues today;
    Judiciary’s so dependence on the Executive. Can’t you see Associate
    Justice Cllr. Philip A.Z. ruling in the case Dr. Tipoteh and his Party
    clear cut and presentation of evidences to the Supreme Court and, yet
    the Court ruled against them?

Black Kite

The Black Kite (Milvus migrans) is a medium-sized bird of prey and mainly migratory. Black kites can be distinguished from red kites by the slightly smaller size, less forked tail (visible in flight), and generally dark plumage. The upper plumage is brown but the head and neck tend to be brighter in colour. The patch behind the eye appears darker. The outer flight feathers are black and the feathers have dark cross bars and are mottled at the base. The lower parts of the body are pale brown, becoming lighter towards the chin. The body feathers have dark shafts giving it a streaked appearance. The cere and gape are yellow, but the bill is black (unlike in the yellow-billed kite). The legs are yellow, and the claws are black. Their wingspan is around 150 cm (Whistler 1949).

Habitat and Ecology

This species is found almost ubiquitously throughout habitats. It inhabits semi-deserts, cultivated areas and fragmented woodland, preferring areas below 1,000 m with adjacent aquatic environments. In Europe, unlike elsewhere in its range, it generally avoids breeding in urban areas (Hagemeijer & Blair 1997). It arrives at its breeding grounds between February and May (Ferguson-Lees & Christie 2001) and can be loosely colonial or a solitary breeder. Eggs are laid between March and June. It normally nests in the fork or on the branch of a tree but will also use cliff ledges and man-made structures. Black Kites overwinter in sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia. Those at lower latitudes do not tend to be full migrants (del Hoyo et al. 1994).
These birds are extremely adaptable feeder. They food on carrion as well as live birds, mammals, fish, lizards, amphibians and invertebrates. It is even known to forage on vegetable matter such as palm oil fruits. Human refuse has become a plentiful food source in many areas (del Hoyo et al. 1994). They are opportunist hunters and have been known to take birds, bats (Mikila et al. 2016) and rodents (Meheretu & Leirs 2019; Narayanan 1989).

Population and Distribution

The European population is estimated at 81,200-109,000 pairs. The population in the EU27 is estimated at 47,500-52,900 pairs (IUCN, 2015). It is found in Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia.

Population Trend

The Current population trend and the continuing decline of mature individuals is unknown (IUCN 2015).

In Europe, the Black Kite population has declined through the twentieth century. The species has suffered, like many other raptor species, as a result of direct poisoning or shooting as well as indirect poisoning due to polluted water by agricultural pesticides (Orta et al. 2015). The poisoning with pesticides caused the species to go extinct in Israel in the 1950s (del Hoyo et al. 1994). The species is also vulnerable to habitat degradation, e.g. in ist West African range, where the loss of forest habitat due to wood harvesting and overgrazing of pastures has led to the species decline (Thiollay 2007). The expansion of wind energy may also pose a significant threat to the Black Kite due to collisions (Strix 2012). Collision and electrocution by powerlines also contribute to species mortality.

How do linear actuators work?

A common type of linear actuator is an electric linear actuator. It is made up of three main components: spindle, motor and gears. The motor can be AC or DC depending on the power needs and other influencing factors.

Once a signal is sent by the operator, which can be through a control as simple as a button, the motor converts the electric energy into mechanical energy, rotating the gears connected to the spindle. This rotates the spindle and causes the spindle nut and piston rod to travel outwards or inwards depending on the signal to the actuator.

As a rule of thumb, a high thread count and smaller spindle pitch will cause slow movement but a much higher load capacity. On the other hand, a low thread count, and higher spindle pitch, will favour fast movement of lower loads.

Welcome to the LINAK Actuator Academy™

What are the different types of electric linear actuators?

There are many types and sizes of electric linear actuators. From small and compact that fit into tight spaces, such as in wheelchairs, to large and powerful to move heavy items like a wheel loader engine hood. In addition to size and power, there are also many different designs of electric linear actuators.

The original design has a motor housing that is outside of the gear and spindle profile. But when space is limited, an inline actuator is used so that the motor only extends the shape of the profile. For desks and some medical applications, lifting columns are used for an inline motor housing with two and three-stage options.

Since the founder and CEO of LINAK, Bent Jensen, made his first electric linear actuator in 1979, the company has continued to develop new actuators and refine the innovative technology behind them to improve movement solutions for several industries.

LINAK designs and manufactures many types of linear actuators and lifting columns with various speeds, stroke lengths, and capacities. From the compact, inline LA20 to the robust LA36, LINAK actuators are built to fit almost any application.

With an almost endless list of customisation options to help design an actuator specifically to fit unique applications, the range of LINAK actuators is even greater than the vast product range listed.

What is a linear actuator?

A linear actuator is a device or machine that converts rotational motion into linear motion and linear movement (in a straight line). This can be done through electric AC and DC motors, or the movement could be powered by hydraulics and pneumatics.

Electric linear actuators are a preferred option when precise and clean movement is needed. They are used for all types of applications where tilting, lifting, pulling or pushing with force is needed.

Why use a linear actuator?

Electric linear actuators increase efficiency and give users precision movement through a variety of control options and accessories. Control options for electric linear actuators include handsets, footswitches, desk controls, computer software, mobile apps and much more.

With no need for hoses, oils, or valves, electric linear actuators require no maintenance and create a safe environment for users. High-quality electric actuators are also put through a variety of tests that push the actuators to extremes. This is done to ensure optimal performance at any given time in any situation. They are also designed, along with their accessories, to be easily mounted and installed in a variety of applications,

making it easy for anyone to add precision movement where they need it. Being electric enables the addition of smart features like CAN bus (LINAK offers CAN SAE J1939 and CANopen for actuator controls). Integrated Controller (IC) solutions can provide various position feedback options, virtual limits, soft start and stop, current limitation, and adjustable speed.

Green Hill Reservoir Rehabilitation

As an essential element of Brisbane’s potable water assets, and also one of its largest, Green Hill Reservoir No 1 & No 2 in Chapel Hill were in need of significant refurbishment in order for Seqwater to maintain its high standards for water supply. These structures were built in 1968 and required detailed inspection and repair of all defects.

Rob Carr Pty Ltd was engaged by SEQ Water to initially clean the Reservoir No 1, support a detailed inspection of the reservoir structure conducted by SEQ Water representatives and provide information to SEQ Water for a detailed report on its findings. Upon provision of the report, Rob Carr Pty Ltd supplied SEQ Water with detailed designs for repairs of the identified structural damage. The roof of the reservoir in particular, was in dire need of repair due to major cracks and other defects in the roof slab structure and existing expansion joints.

Rob Carr Pty Ltd specifically selected VersEseal Liquid Rubber proprietary membrane system that provided SEQ Water with a high quality solution for the defects at a competitive price. The membrane covered the entire roof slab of both reservoir No 1 and No 2 which comprises of approximately 15,000 m2 combined.

Additionally, Rob Carr Pty Ltd has designed an in-house system to prevent the ingress of water through these same expansion joints, cracks and saw cuts on the roof, again utilising a VersEseal Liquid Rubber membrane system. Upon completion of all joint and crack repairs totalling 3km, a 2000 micron layer of VersEseal Liquid Rubber Quick Set specification product has been applied over the entire roof of reservoir No 1 & 2 sealing it 100% from any water ingress to the reservoir. Key attributes to this project include:

  • High level planning, coordination and management of the works
  • Key material and product selection
  • Use of flexible AS4020 Potable Water approved membrane
  • Confined space working environment
  • Restricted site access and work space
  • Construction in sensitive environments

Reading Challenges: Choice with a subtle nudge

Four teenagers are sitting on a bench reading. Another is sitting on the floor also reading.
Students read while they wait for counselor meetings.
Reading in my classroom is about choice, flexibility, and above all, driven by student interests. We read at the beginning of each class period and I regularly spend some of that time helping students find books they will like from our classroom library. Most of my students read much more than they did the year before. They get better at making their own reading choices. And, at this point in the year, they are better at making suggestions to each other than I am. We take books when we need to visit the counseling office for a full period of articulation meetings. I've found students reading on the 40 yard line during disaster drills. One student even carried his book to and from the bathroom because he wanted to read while he walked. Reading is happening for my students and I love it. knew there would be a but, right?

Among all this reading nirvana I also saw a lot of reading bubbles. Students get used to reading a particular author, genre or series and stay in those bounds. Some series can go on for quite a while, five, six books or more. When students finished a book or series they liked they always wanted a new book, "just like that one." I needed to get them out of these ruts filled with princesses, disaster zones, and zombies that so many had fallen into, so I wrote a list of reading challenges.

To be clear, the idea of reading challenges is not mine. Just google [reading challenges] to find lots of ideas. I did a search and then built my challenges chart by adapting a variety of what I found to a list that would work well for my students.

It also happened that I did this on the day we were scheduled to visit the library. I had visions of my students wandering the stacks aimlessly, so in part, these reading challenges were a desperate effort to make our library time more purposeful. It worked.

I made this chart a month ago and since then many of my students have stepped out of their reading bubbles, considered books they might not have read before, read things they would not have otherwise picked up, and generally expanded their horizons.

When I introduced this they had two choice books left to read for the school year. For their first one about half my students went with the "author I have never read before" option, an easy way out, but that just meant they had to work a little harder to find their next book which would meet one of the other nine challenges.

Suddenly students were looking for books set in other countries, exploring autobiographies of Tony Hawk and Malala Yousafzai, enjoying The Alchemist, and digging into classics like Wuthering Heights. ("I've always wanted to read this," she said when we found it in the library that morning.) And my favorite, the boy who decided to try Rain of Gold when I told him our school security guard considered it his favorite book.

I was really worried about removing their free choice. A few students have tried to tell me that the fourth book in their popular YA fantasy series is their mom's favorite book. A few have said they will save the next book in their current series for summer reading because now they, "have to read something from the list." (Insert Eeyore impression.) But overall, for the vast majority of my students this has been a very successful experiment in finding new ways to pick books. And they liked them too. A full 94% of my students rated their book 5 or better on a 1-10 scale, where 10 was "the best book you ever read in your life." And 57% gave the book 8 or more. (So glad I can use Google forms to ask these kinds of questions.)

I still believe students need to have choice in their reading lives, and now I know I can nudge those choices with some well chosen challenges.

This is the mum-to-be who sunk her teeth into a woman’s face – tearing off a chunk of flesh.

Claire McCluskey attacked mum-of-two Kate Nield, 26, at a house party in Garstang Road, Southport on February 26 this year.

McCluskey, of Brook Close in Southport , left her victim with a horrific injury and a gaping hole to the right side of her mouth.

Speaking after the incident, Miss Nield told the Echo: “She bit me and took a big chunk out of my face. There was blood everywhere.”

Doctors at Whiston Hospital spent an hour performing a skin graft on Miss Nield, taking skin from the back of her arm and putting it onto her face.

McCluskey, 29, initially pleaded not guilty to wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

She later admitted the lesser charge of wounding and was set to be sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court this afternoon.

However, Judge Neil Flewitt QC said the only victim personal statement made by Miss Neild was on February 29 – three days after the attack.

Paul Treble, prosecuting, said the victim had been reluctant to assist with the prosecution “perhaps because she was nervous” and had not kept in touch with police.

WARNING: Graphic images

He said there was a photograph of her injuries taken in August and she was not expected to receive any further medical treatment until next month.

Judge Flewitt said the injury “looked like a permanent disfigurement” but he could not be sure if she would be scarred for life.

Mr Treble said he could not be certain whether Ms Neild had been approached about making a second victim personal statement and apologised to the court.

Judge Flewitt said: “It’s extremely unfortunate. It’s a defendant of previous good character facing a real risk of a prison sentence.”

Paul Lewis, defending, said his client was expecting a child in March next year and wanted to learn her fate, but accepted the judge had little choice but to adjourn the case.

Judge Flewitt told McCluskey: “I’m sorry this case cannot proceed today. The lady you assaulted has the right to make a victim personal statement if she wishes.

“If she hasn’t been given that opportunity, she has to have one.”

The judge adjourned sentencing until Friday and remanded McCluskey on bail.

He said no decision had yet been made as to his sentence, but she should come to court prepared for the possibility of going to jail.

Play Reversi

Play Reversi a fun concentration game for kids. It's also one of the fun discovery kids games and fun memory activities.

This may sound difficult to play, but it's not.

Once you have a couple of moves under your belt, you'll be able to pick it up more quickly for the next round.

2 players
Ages: 9 and up
Need checkerboard

You'll need a set of 64 checkers as well. One player will be one color and the other player the other color.

Have the kids sit across from each other with the board between them.

Center squares are filled first, so the first player lays one of her pieces on one of the 4 squares (of any color) in the middle of the board.

The other player then does the same.

After the 4 center squares are filled, players have to put one of their pieces on any square on the board. One move per turn.

Moves must block the opponent's piece.

They need to be placed beside an opponent's piece and lined up (horizontally, diagonally or vertically) with a player's own piece.

When one player has trapped an opponent's piece(s) (the player's pieces are on both sides of his opponent's piece), his opponent's trapped piece(s) are replaced with checkers of his own color.

Play continues with each player placing a piece on the board at each turn, trying to trap his opponent's pieces and make them his own color.

A player who cannot place a piece next to an opponent's piece and lined up with his own will lose his turn until he can make a move.

The End

When either all squares are filled or there are no more moves for players to make, the round is over.

The winner is the player who has the most of his color checkers on the board.
