BPS News

Survey launched on membership grades review changes

10 June 2021

We’re considering some changes to the membership structure of the BPS to better support our modern psychological community.

We recently asked for responses to a survey on our initial proposals, which had been developed in conjunction with members at a series of focus groups earlier this year.

This survey suggested three key areas where members would like to see changes:

  • Retain the category of graduate member, with no time limit to eligibility
  • Include more information on what the competencies would be and how they would be assessed
  • Continue to use grades rather than categories

We have now incorporated these changes into the proposal and have launched a new survey on the changes and the overall proposal. This will remain open until Thursday 1 July – make sure to have your say.

About Bronson Branch Library

Image: Bronson Branch Library

The Bronson library originated in the early 1880s as the Ladies Library Association. In 1888 the Bronson township assumed responsibility for operating the library in the Town House. The present building was built with funds donated by steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie, at a cost of $8,478. This new Bronson Public Library opened on May 23, 1912.

The Bronson Branch Library is now a central hub of community activity in Bronson. The library boasts a large children's area; books magazines, and videos; computers for public use; and a microfilm collection of the Bronson newspaper. During the summer, and throughout the year, the library is abuzz with a variety of programming for our patrons.

The Bronson Public Library is a registered Michigan Historic Site.

Review: Keebler - Cinnamon Roll Cookies

Keebler's new Cinnamon Roll Cookies are soft-baked with Cinnabon cinnamon and drizzled with cream cheese flavor icing. They're basically supposed to give you the flavor of a cinnamon roll in cookie form.

They retail for $4.29 for a 10-ounce package at my local supermarket.

Insofar as making cookies that taste like cinnamon rolls, Keebler mostly succeeds. There's a prevalent cinnamon flavor throughout the cookie and the icing delivers a weird cream cheese taste.

What's missing is the texture and tactile cues of the cinnamon roll: the soft bready roll, the melted cinnamon sugar, and the creamy icing.

Instead, there's a texture similar to a Chewy Chips Ahoy cookie, but not as rich. There's a soft, almost gummy quality to the swirl that I can't say I cared for; I think a cinnamon creme filling would have worked better.

If I'm looking for a cinnamon roll, I'd rather just have the real thing. And, if it's cinnamon in a cookie that I have a hankering for, I'd rather just have a snickerdoodle.

Learn More About Synthetics

Ka whai i te whānuitanga o ngā kōrero mō te Taru Horihori.

Synthetic cannabinoids, often called syns, spice or chronic, are a man-made synthetic cannabis that is sprayed on dried plant material so it can be smoked. Synthetics can also come as a liquid which can be used in a vaporiser.

There are hundreds of chemicals which try to make you high like cannabis. However, they are much more poisonous, and you’ll never know how they are going to make you feel. All synthetics are illegal in New Zealand.

How it feels

Every time you smoke synthetics you’re not going to know how you’re going to feel. They are very different from cannabis. You won’t know how strong the drug is or how it is going to change you.

When you use a lot at once it is likely that bad things will happen. When people use synthetics they say their heart can start beating faster, they can feel dizzy, see things that aren’t there, and feel angry or wanting to hurt people.

These feelings can last a couple of hours, and you’ll feel like taking more. After using synthetics you can become moody, angry, worried, feel like you really need to have some more and find it hard to sleep. You may feel this way for about a week.

Using synthetics can make you lose touch with reality and very vulnerable.

Directory of Support Services

Our Directory of nationwide and local organisations is here to help guide you to find the support you need, whether it be counseling, support groups, helplines, recovery and support programmes or rehab facilities.

Things to look out for

When you use synthetics, you can find it hard to see how it is hurting you, and the people around you. Check with someone you trust and ask them for their honest opinion of what they see happening, and of any behavioural changes.

It seems like synthetics are hurting people much more than cannabis, and are much more addictive. You may get stomach pains, chest pains, your heart my beat fast and you may feel like throwing up. You can also be scared of dying, see things that aren’t there, get angry and start hurting people, and think about killing yourself. These bad feelings can last several days and end up causing long-term harm.

Calling for help

Synthetics are risky, you can die. Even a small amount can act like poison in your body.

For help phone the DHB 24 hour local helpline on 0800 800 508. Call 111 and get help straight away if you, or someone you know has trouble breathing, a racing heart, chest pains, start having seizures, pass out or become very angry, suicidal or think others are trying to hurt you. This may save your life.

    EB1- Major International Award

    The American Dream is Alive and Well

    Home / Entertainment Home / Execs & Managers Home
    EB1 Green Card Checklist /Approvals Gallery

    EB1 Green Card – Major Internationally Recognized Award

    Welcome to our EB1 green card video presentation series.

    In this presentation, we’re going to focus in on the EB1 green card category ‘Major Internationally Recognized Award’.

    US Immigration has established the EB1 green card as being reserved for aliens who can show that they have risen to the very top of their profession. An objective way to determine that fact is whether the alien has won any internationally recognized awards. If this can be shown to the satisfaction of US Immigration, then an EB1 green card could be yours for the taking.

    EB1 green card qualifying awards exist in almost every field of endeavor.  The most obvious and most well known American awards are in the area of entertainment, such as an Oscar, a Grammy, a Tony, an Emmy, SAG and the Golden Globes. For the EB1 green card you do not have to win any American awards – as long as the award is highly regarded internationally, then US Immigration is happy. Obviously, we have to gather all the evidence, and this can be a creative process in and of itself.

    There are also many EB1 qualifying awards in the area of the sciences. We’re not talking about who has the best PhD from the best university, as we have to go way beyond that. We have to look at any academic award that has been granted on a national or international basis rather than being conferred by a single university. Examples would include the MacArthur Fellowship, the Fields Medal, the Bancroft Prize, and the Nobel Prize, to name just a few. Many pursuits have great and acclaimed awards like the Pulitzer Prize for journalism.

    For EB1 green card purposes, the idea is that the award is so prestigious, that no matter which university the academic hailed from the award would be such that every national university (and perhaps internationally) would recognize the significance of the award within academic circles. For example, the Pulitzer Prize is nationally and internationally recognized.

    It is very important to note that awards can be from any country in the world, as every country has its own way of recognizing extraordinary talent. Many EB1 green cards are routinely granted for awards unheard of in the US, but within that alien’s country and amongst other countries within that field, the award is well known and recognized as being highly prestigious.

    In the world of marketing and media, there are many notable internationally recognized awards. In fact, in marketing, winning an award is an absolute key component in being able to distinguish one advertising agency or individual as being superior – of extraordinary standing.

    The key message here is that whilst there are many ways to qualify for an EB1 green card, if you have won any kind of major award, no matter how long ago, you may well be qualified without knowing it. It is surprising the amount of consultations we have done where the alien had no idea at all they had the makings of an excellent EB1 green card case because they won a particular award in the 1970’s.

    The only way to find out is to contact us immediately and we’ll make an assessment and advise you on whether the award by itself is sufficient to qualify for an EB1 green card, or if having won an award we still require more elements to complete the picture.

    So get in touch as soon as possible with all the details surrounding your award so we can take a look.

    We hope you enjoyed this in-depth presentation on the Major International Award category. In the next presentation we’ll examine the (i) National Award category.

    Checkout these EB1 green card categories below. If you can satisfy three categories, then you may just qualify for your green card. Good luck.

Opening of the baby's mouth

Why does my one-month old baby’s mouth not open wide with latching?

It is normal for babies to open their mouths less wide after one month of age.

A) The width of the baby’s mouth

In order to latch a baby, the baby’s mouth needs to open.

1) Under one month of age

Babies under one month of age will open their mouths wide, like a little bird, when the top lip is tapped while latching. These babies are guided by reflex.

2) Over one month of age

After one month, babies become more effective at breastfeeding. They also start relying on learned behaviour instead of their reflexes.

By one month of age, babies have learned that their mouth only has to be opened up enough to allow the nipple and the tissues behind the nipple (the nipple rootto enter. They will not open their mouths fully but only part ways when latching.

Some mothers will keep a baby from latching in an attempt to have the baby open up wider. The babies are hungry and become increasingly frustrated when they are not allowed to latch.

As long as the baby is latching well and breastfeeding effectively and any nipple pain is settling or has settled, there is no need to worry about how wide the baby’s mouth is open when latching.

The baby’s lips are also less turned out (flanged) after one month as the breast is less firm.

4 different types of company culture explained

5 min read | 7 February, 2019 By Sarah Benstead

If you’re wanting to drive your business forward, building a strong company culture is a necessity – and getting it wrong can be a very expensive mistake. And many businesses have come to realise this after being faced with serious issues with employee retention, productivity and engagement (to name a few).

So, focusing on your people might be a high priority on your list, but how can you even begin to think about developing your culture if you haven’t the faintest about where your business stands right now?

The Competing Values Framework, a cultural assessment tool coined in the 1980s established four types of company culture. In this blog post I will be exploring each of these and looking at key characteristics along with the benefits and fall-backs that each of them carry.

Which one sounds most like your business?

Four common types of company culture

Clan culture

Otherwise known as "family culture’" a clan culture is friendly, upbeat and is made up of employees who have a lot in common with each other. The task of building and maintaining a strong company culture consistently stands as a top priority along with focusing on employee wellbeing.

Leaders of clan cultures are hugely respected and are often perceived as mentors or father figures. These leaders drive team building, employee involvement and empowerment. Business goals and company values are commonly shared by employees across the organisation, resulting in one streamlined universal vision and employees who are invested in the company’s mission.

By coming into a business that boldly demonstrates a clan culture, employees enjoy a harmonious and tranquil working environment and are given the trust and freedom they need to thrive in their roles. This type of culture is typically more common among start-ups as it helps to establish a collaborative mindset where all ideas are welcome.

But, adopting a clan culture has its risks. By encouraging a social and fun environment you’ll be running the risk of losing the work/fun balance and the office lacking authority. Additionally you could be handing your staff an open opportunity to slack and become disengaged in their roles if you provide them with too much freedom. Monitoring is key in order to fully reap the benefits of a clan culture.

Adhocracy culture

Derived from the latin word ad hoc, meaning “for this”, adhocracy culture revolves around innovation, success and flexibility. This type of culture is often found within modern industries such as aerospace and technology. Businesses with adhocracy cultures are constantly thinking ahead and developing new products as they live by the assumption that all of their products only have a limited shelf-life.

The office environment is very creative, energetic and fast-paced. Leaders of an adhocracy culture are true entrepreneurs; they consistently encourage risks to be taken and push employees to experiment with new ideas. Adapting quickly to changing conditions is the norm in an adhocracy culture so that latest trends are reacted to and concentrated on.

But, working in an intense and fast paced environment can take its toll. Employees may find the atmosphere in the office chaotic and disorganised and they may struggle to clearly understand their responsibilities. And, with innovation and risk-taking coming first, the health of the business can face a direct financial impact too if brave experimentations don’t quite go to plan.

For a good example of adhocracy culture in action, you only need to look as far as Facebook, where according to Mark Zuckerberg, you should “Move fast and break things”. He says that “unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough”.

Market culture

And then there’s market culture. First becoming popular in the 1960s, market culture is ruthless, strongly results driven and performance orientated. Employees are encouraged to set difficult goals for themselves and work hard to achieve them and leaders are tough and demanding. Market share and profit at the forefront of the business focus at all times.

Adopting a market culture is rarely accidental, in fact it is something that is often deliberately integrated within the company in order to ensure that business objectives are a number one priority. It’s all about the company’s bottom line and financial growth with less of a focus on teamwork and community.

Whilst building a market culture most certainly brings benefits for business health, including optimised return rates, overtaking competitors and high employee motivation and engagement, it has its downfalls. And they can be pretty big.

With employees being pushed on a daily basis to maximise their performance and hit difficult targets, the competitiveness can often be taken too far and lead to dishonesty and conflict in the office, which you as an employer will need to step in and deal with. This friction may even result in team members who are disconnected from their work, a slump in productivity levels, and in serious cases a financial hit to the business.

1 in 5 UK workers quit their jobs due to poor company culture. Explore how company culture affects productivity, performance and wellbeing in The Culture Economy Report 2020.

Hierarchy culture

The most traditional type of culture, hierarchy culture revolves around structure, control and “doing things right”. The working environment will be extremely organised with well-polished policies and procedures. Keeping the business running smoothly is key.

Unlike in a clan culture, there are strict rules, and leaders are likely to be keeping a close eye on what employees are doing. There are several layers of management between leadership and employees, many more than that in other cultures, and leaders are highly respected by their teams.

This type of culture is the most historical and goes back as far as the mid 1900s. Imagine your typical large bureaucratic company, such as McDonalds – they're more than likely to be accurately demonstrating a hierarchy culture.

The benefits speak for themselves with hierarchy culture; there are little or no issues with authority and boundaries are clear. Responsibilities are allocated by job level and lines of communication are seamless.

However, with a strict, “by the book” culture comes its drawbacks. With power sitting at the top level of the business, a business leader may find that they are too absorbed in everyday decision-making to invest any time in their people. Employee one-to-ones may not happen as frequently (or at all) and appraisals are dropped down on the priority scale.

The structure of a hierarchy in itself can cause issues, too. With the sole decision-makers further up the business ladder, communications become slow and time-consuming, which can prove problematic in fast-moving, dynamic working environments.

Your company culture matters

Whichever type of culture your small business falls under, it’s important you get it right. Our research found that poor workplace culture is costing the UK economy a staggering £23.6 billion a year due to low productivity and poor employee retention.

And, because every culture works differently, assessing and identifying your business' culture is a great place to start.

How do these injury claims work together? Can I get North Carolina workers' comp and Social Security benefits at the same time, or do they offset each other?

That's a complicated question with a lot of answers. Here are some of them:

Social Security and North Carolina workers' compensation may offset each other. If you get both, the total amount you receive may be less than the two together. Your workers' comp lawyer in Raleigh can put important language in a workers' compensation settlement agreement to increase your total benefits. If you make a successful workers' compensation claim for asbestos disease and recover against the manufacturer of asbestos products, some or all of the amount you get from workers' compensation may have to be paid back to the workers' compensation insurer out of your recovery against the manufacturer. (Your lawyer may be able to get a State Court judge to limit or eliminate the pay back requirement.)

Some union pension benefits are reduced if you also get Social Security or workers' compensation, but there is not usually any reduction if you receive money from a claim against an asbestos manufacturer. Whether, and how much, any of these reductions will happen depends on the language in the union contract. Now for some good news: Social Security does not affect, and is not affected by, any recovery against the manufacturer of asbestos products. If these two are the only claim you make, you get to keep all the benefits from both.

Identifying TrueCrypt Volumes For Fun (and Profit?)

The volatility crew posted a couple of new plug-ins that can search through a memory dump and extract TrueCrypt passwords (please read about it here). But what about TrueCrypt volumes themselves, how can you find those on a system? There are some tools (like TCHunt) and EnScripts (TrueCrypt File Locator and Encrypted Data Finder) that can help you to find TrueCrypt volumes. (DISCLAIMER: I am no longer a user of EnCase and the scripts may/may not still reside at those locations so I cannot verify how well the EnScripts work). But what if you do not have access to those tools, or what if you want to know more about WHAT these scripts are actually doing?

You can choose to encrypt your entire file system or drive, which protects the contents of your hard drive, but without an decryption key, your drive is essentially nothing more than a paperweight. You can also create individually encrypted file containers on a non-encrypted file system/drive.

This post will not cover the full disk encryption. However, it is important to note that some of the TrueCrypt characteristics discussed in this post, particularly the character distribution, will apply to anything created with TrueCrypt. For this post, we are going to focus on individually encrypted files created with TrueCrypt.

The first thing to note about files created with TrueCrypt is that the encrypted file is essentially a file container. On a Windows system, you can go through the process and you are presented with an option of either choosing a FAT or NTFS formatted container (if the file size is less than 3792KB, you can only choose FAT or None). If you choose "None" you will have to format the file after it is mounted, but usually this option is not chosen.

TrueCrypt container format options

Now that we have a little bit of background information, we can move on to the fun part, trying to identify TrueCrypt volumes on your drive. One of the tell-tale signs of a file being a TrueCrypt volume is anything with the extension ".tc". This is the default association of a file as being a TrueCrypt file, but to be honest, if you find ".tc" files, the level of sophistication of the user(s) of the drive may not be very high. Or perhaps there are hidden volumes created within the TrueCrypt volumes meant to throw you off (that will be a post for another time!)

Usually TrueCrypt volumes can be found in folders where "large" (several hundred MB and larger) files are commonly stored and are renamed to look normal among those files. For example, some locations I have encountered are folders associated with Outlook.pst files and downloaded videos.

Another thing to note with TrueCrypt volumes is the file sizes that the file "has" to be. The smallest size that a volume can be is 292KB. So we probably want to look for files that have a minimum size of 292KB (299,008 bytes). Because TrueCrypt volumes can increase in size by 1KB (1024 bytes) increments, we could search for all files that are only cleanly divisible by 1024 bytes. However, as the smallest allocation unit on a disk is a sector (which is typically 512 bytes), we will search for any file sizes that are cleanly divisible by 512 bytes. I would rather have more possible false positives rather than potentially missing some possible TrueCrypt volumes.

Three 292KB TC volume file properties

For example, one of the files referenced above "" has a file size (not size on disk, although with TrueCrypt volumes they are usually the same) of 299,008 bytes. We can take the size of that data and divide it by 512. If the result comes back clean, aka a whole number, our file has passed the size check test, so the file is possibly a TrueCrypt file.

299,008 / 512 = 598 = Pass!

Test-document.docx file properties

For another example, here's a test document that I created - "Test-document.docx" which has a file size of 461,359 bytes. Once again, we take the size and divide it by 512.

461,359 / 512 = 901.091796875 = Fail!

From this, we have learned that really don't have to look any more at the file "Test-document.docx" because it failed one of the easiest tests to perform when trying to find a TrueCrypt volume. Great success!!

The next step that we can take to determine if a file is possibly TrueCrypt or not is by trying to discern the file signature. There are MANY ways to do this, one of the examples I am going to demonstrate is running "file" on a Windows system using GNUWin32.

Running "file" against our two files of interest

Running "file" recognizes the possible TrueCrypt volume as "data", but the Office document as a "ZIP" file (which it is and has been since Office 2007). So now we know that the file "" has passed the file size test and that it does not have a discernible file header. High five!!

High Five!

Now for the last step in trying to determine if our file is possibly a TrueCrypt file or not. There are once again several ways to do this, but I prefer to use Hex Workshop for this blog post as it makes prettier pictures than running a script of some sort. What we are looking for now is "entropy", aka "randomness", aka "character distribution". File data is stored as an arranged series of bytes on disk. What we are going to look for is how many times certain characters occur in the file. In most files, some characters will occur far more often than others (\x00, \xFF, etc.) In a TrueCrypt volume, the program tries to distribute the characters in a completely "random" (i.e. equally occurring) format.

To explain this in simpler terms, if a "normal" file is made up of "01189998819991197253" (7 occurrences of 9), a TrueCrypt file will be made up of "01234567890123456789" (each character occurring only twice). With smaller TrueCrypt volumes the percentage of character occurrence is close to being "random", but it is not perfect. The highest percentage of character occurrences that I have seen in testing is 0.47%. As the size of the volume increases though, the percentage of character distribution is more level at 0.39%. I have seen tools demonstrate the "randomness" on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 to 8, and even 0 to 1, with different values correlating to how random the data is. Once again, for the purposes of this blog post, I prefer to use Hex Workshop to demonstrate the distribution. Below are three examples from random Word documents I downloaded from the web, three examples from smaller TrueCrypt files (292KB) and two examples from TrueCrypt larger files (1GB). Even though the actual number of times the characters appear varies, what we are looking for is the percentage of how many times those characters occurs.

finalreport.authcheckdam.doc character mapping

PilotProjectFinalReportRev2.doc character mapping

TCR-AL252005_Wilma.doc character mapping (292KB) character mapping (292KB) character mapping (292KB) character mapping

TC-hidden-test (1GB) character mapping

TC-test (1GB) character mapping

To summarize all of the topics covered in this post, there are three main characteristics of TrueCrypt volumes that we can test for:

- Minimum File size / File size being a multiple of 512 bytes
- File Signature check
- Character distribution

I sincerely hope that you enjoyed this post on identifying TrueCrypt volumes for fun (and profit?). Hopefully you did indeed have a little fun reading this and can eventually turn that into profit of some sort!

It consists of two parts, a big book containing numbers and a report of an independent auditor, and a small booklet that is inserted inside the big one that contains the very heart of Podravka as a brand: great Podravka’s recipes.

To be able to cook like Podravka you need to be a precise cook. That is why the small Podravka booklet is printed in invisible, thermo-reactive ink. To be able to reveal Podravka’s secrets you need to cover the small booklet in aluminum foil and bake it at 100 degrees Celsius for 25 minutes. If you are not precise, the booklet will burn, just as any overcooked meal. If you have successfully baked your sample of the annual report, the empty pages will become filled with text, and the illustrations with empty plates with food.

To save energy, you can bake the cooking book together with some delicious food.

A young family have spoken of their frustration at not being able to visit their sick child in hospital despite huge numbers of people being allowed to attend sporting events.

Michael Taylor, 32, and his girlfriend Jade Lamb drove their 14-month-old son Jesse Taylor to the University Hospital of Wales (UHW) in Cardiff on Monday when he started struggling to breathe, Wales Online reports.

But when they got there, the dad-of-two said that only one of them would be allowed to stay with the asthmatic toddler who needed urgent breathing support and steroids before being transferred to the neighbouring Noah's Ark Children's Hospital for Wales.

Mr Taylor said he understood and accepted the Covid visiting restrictions throughout the pandemic, but he thought that the time had now come to relax them for the sake of children and their anxious parents.

Cardiff and Vale University Health Board has apologised and said it is bringing in updated guidance next month.

Mr Taylor said: "Considering we are now seeing thousands of people attending sporting events, I don't think it's right that both parents can't be with their child in an emergency like this.

"I was sat outside the hospital in my car for five hours worried sick about the health of my 14-month-old son. As the phone signal is so bad at the hospital I wasn't able to find out Jesse's condition, and I knew Jade would be feeling very anxious about it all. I couldn't support either of them. I felt pretty helpless."

Jesse was born at the University Hospital of Wales four weeks prematurely at the height of the first wave of the pandemic in April 2020.

Mr Taylor recalled: "He had to stay in for a week as his lungs hadn't developed properly. Only one parent was allowed in then which, despite being frustrating, I accepted as there were a lot of unknowns about Covid at the time.

"Jesse has needed to be taken to hospital three or four times since then as any time he gets a slight cold or cough it badly affects his lungs. It's the same story every time: only one parent allowed."

After arriving at A&E on Monday, June 28, Jesse needed to stay overnight at hospital before being discharged in the evening of Tuesday, June 29.

"I know I can't be the only person to have gone through this experience. I felt completely angered and let down by the current system in place," Mr Taylor added.

"I cant even begin to imagine - in more serious cases - the despair other parents have had to go through when being turned away at the hospital door not knowing the condition or being able to support their baby or child.

"In no way do I blame the NHS staff in my instance because they are following orders, but some of these rules need a serious review."

Michael Taylor, 32, and his girlfriend Jade Lamb drove their 14-month-old son Jesse Taylor to the University Hospital of Wales (UHW) in Cardiff on Monday when he started struggling to breathe.

Mr Taylor, from Upper Boat, near Pontypridd, has now created a petition which calls for all parents to be allowed into hospital to be with their sick children. This can be found here.

Health boards now have the power to decide their own visiting policies depending on local Covid infection rates.

A spokesman for Cardiff and Vale University Health Board said: "Sites across our health board, including the Children's Hospital for Wales, continue to follow current guidance in line with Welsh Government advice.

"However, from July 5 the new guidance will allow up to two parents, guardians, or carers at the bedside at a time for paediatric inpatients and neonates subject to local determination, and following a risk assessment including the ability to maintain social distancing. The previous guidance allowed one visitor at a time, unless there were exceptional circumstances.

"We know this can be a distressing time for parents and carers so allowances are made as appropriate depending on the nature of the visit.

"These measures are in place to maintain a Covid-19 secure environment, reducing the risk to our patients, their families, and our staff.

"We apologise that we cannot always facilitate both parents to be in attendance at all times."

Welcomed drop in fatal and major injuries in GB workplaces

The British Safety Council welcomed the improvements in Great Britain’s health and safety performance recently published by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) in its annual statistics report.

HSE noted a significant reduction in the number of workers killed and seriously injured at work. The number and incidence of fatal injuries in Great Britain fell significantly as did the number and incidence of major injuries.

Alex Botha, chief executive of the British Safety Council, while welcoming these improvements, noted that much more needed to be done in order to achieve the British Safety Council’s vision that no one should be injured or made ill in Britain’s workplaces.

“While the number of people killed and seriously injured in Britain’s workplaces continues to fall year-on-year we echo the comments of HSE’s chair, Judith Hackitt, that many of these deaths and serious injuries could have been prevented by simple safety measures,” said Alex Botha. “While the number of deaths in British workplaces has halved over the last 20 years – 148 workers killed in 2012/13 compared to nearly 300 in 1993/94 – it remains a major concern that the agriculture, construction and waste re-cycling sectors together account for almost half of these unnecessary deaths.

“We must not forget the tragic toll of work-related disease. HSE reports that around 13,000 deaths each year are attributable to work-related disease including occupational cancers – 40% in construction. The British Safety Council has joined many of its member organisations operating in construction and pledged its support for the Public Health Responsibility Deal for the construction and civil engineering sectors to help address the blight of ill health at work and work-related disease.

“The British Safety Council and its member organisations firmly believe that our regulatory framework governing workplace health and safety is effective in helping to control the risk of injury and ill health in the workplace. But we all have a role to play in ensuring risks are properly controlled to prevent harm in the workplace. Workplace injury and work-related ill-health have a damaging impact on individuals, business, government and wider society. By working together we can prevent unnecessary harm to thousands of people and help cut the cost to society – an estimated £13.8 billion a year.”

Wood Slats Vs Box Spring

Wood Slats Vs Box Spring

Hi, i’m mike creator of great bed comm today we’re gon na be doing an extensive evaluation of the brooklyn signature mattress.

Currently this is the new version, the one with springs, the one they often call the brooklyn trademark, hybrid or just a brooklyn signature, or occasionally even by the name of the previous generation, which they called the hashtag best bed mattress ever before, however whatever you wish to call it.
We’re gon na be assessing it so remain.
One of the initial points you require to find out about a mattress is simply exactly how soft it remains in the instance of the brand-new brooklyn trademark, hybrid cushion, it comes in 3 gentleness degrees.

They use a company, a tool and a soft and we’re right now on the medium, which is without a doubt the very popular of the three, and when it comes to this most recent version, we would in fact characterize their medium as a medium company on our gentleness range.
Now this is a bit stronger than how we characterized the either of the previous 2 versions.
There was an initial hashtag best cushion ever before that was made with latex over foam.

Wood Slats Vs Box SpringWe identified that as a medium.
After that there was the successor to that which changed the latex with timber, the Titan flex.
We also identified that as a medium had a very similar softness degree.

This simply feels a little firmer to us, so we’re classifying it as a medium firm.
So currently, allow’s obtain into the details of what’s really in the brand-new Brooklyn trademark, hybrid bed mattress and in overall you’re, looking at a cushion, that’s twelve and a half inches with about five layers to it.
It starts on top with this quilting layer, which actually offers the bed mattress a little more of a conventional appearance along with a little more of a typical feel to this foam in below.

This inch and a fifty percent of foam in the quilting layer is absolutely the softest foam in the cushion.
It doesn’t really have way too much bounce and absolutely does not have any type of memory area either.

It’s simply type of like a soft comfort foam and afterwards listed below that you have the leading layer of Titan flex, it’s a 2 inch layer of their Titan flex product and a 3 and a half pound thickness, and this is the softer of both Titan flex Layers – and it additionally has what they call titanium gel in it, which includes, certainly, some air conditioning buildings.

We’ll speak about later on in the video, as well as the business speaks regarding exactly how it includes some anti-bacterial buildings as well, which we can not actually speak with and afterwards listed below that leading to a 2 inch layer of Titans like if you have one more 2 inch layer of Titan flex, foam that that is a little stronger acts as a little bit even more of a shift in between both between this, this convenience layers ahead and these stronger coils down below, then you have this six inch took, coils of which there are eight hundred or So in a queen size – and that’s obviously, where your assistance is originating from in the bed mattress and afterwards those simply need something to hinge on.
So there’s a there’s an inch of foam listed below those at the really bottom of the mattress, and that gives you the complete 12 and a fifty percent inches.
And, certainly all that is wrapped in this cover, which has a few good touches.

But the leading surface is extremely regular with what we’ve seen in the previous 2 variations, the the hashtag bets mattress ever along with the previous brooklyn trademark, comparable feel and stitching and material, which is which is a great soft cover fabric.
Then they’ve additionally added some.
You know they’ve obtained some good cording below, which is which provides, i think it’s um, absolutely some longevity homes in addition to a great appearance. Wood Slats Vs Box Spring

This side panel is virtually like a shirt like product in such a way of like the textile right here, however it also has some thickness to it.
It’s it’s a great.
It really feels substantial, which is which is excellent but likewise additionally looks great, and afterwards i guess an unique proclaim to the fact that they included 4 practical deals with sideways of the mattress and they, when I claim functional, I imply that you really can use These to relocate the bed mattress around, unlike manages you could locate on a few other firms, cushions, which may be much more ornamental.

That’s an extremely wonderful touch.
That Brooklyn has carried out in the previous as well.
So generally, that’s your building of Brooklyn trademark.

Bed mattress! Now we’re gon na obtain into the two points that definitely everybody need to obtain from their mattress, which are back support and pressure relief and for get in touch with.
I have to do with 6 feet high, not quite 200 pounds – and I mostly rest on my back.
I’m gon na start out in that setting, and I definitely found that for me, this tool variation provided actually excellent spine positioning.

From a back support viewpoint.
I absolutely really felt like my my hips were able to sink right into the bed mattress simply sufficient, yet my lumbar was still well sustained, so definitely seemed like truly truly well supported in this back setting at my weight.
I do assume, of training course, that, like a lighter back sleeper is probably gon na, be alright, significantly lighter it’s most likely gon na be all right on the soft version of this, however yet most back sleepers.

The tool version is gon na be excellent.
If you’re considerably heavier, then perhaps the company variation would probably be a great selection for you as a back sleeper, yet however on the whole again, the tool is a respectable selection for a great deal of back sleepers.
I’m gon na switch to my stomach, and this is a placement where I assume that once again for me, the tool version did really well.

You can see below that the since it’s a little firmer than medium and due to the fact that the cushion has more of that resting on the cushion type of drifting feeling.
It certainly keeps your heaviest part of your body which, for everybody is gon na, be your hips from sinking as well deeply right into the cushion.
So so for me.

Definitely I didn’t obtain that overarching experience which can be the real, the actual feasible red flag for a belly sleeper.
On the whole, I felt like the the medium was a fantastic fit for me for tummy resting, and it also is it’s kind of good in that tummy.
Sleepers in some cases have a tough time finding an equilibrium between something that’s firm enough to be helpful because hips region, however soft enough to feel wonderful when you have actually obtained like your joints and your knees.

And you know the entire front of your body pressed against the surface of the mattress, so this bed mattress does have a great deal of softness just right on the top which which addresses that and gives it a wonderful feeling for a stomach sleeper. Wood Slats Vs Box Spring

Wood Slats Vs Box Spring

I’m gon na switch to my side now, and this is the placement where I actually focus most on on pressure relief, additionally, obviously, to appropriate spinal positioning which, in this situation in your corner, is going to be maintaining it type of.
Because virtually horizontal shape, so in regards to the back positioning, I did really feel once again like for my body form and size on my side, the medium was a truly excellent match.

You can see below that my shoulder has the ability to sink into the bed mattress enough.
That, overall, my top of my spine is pretty well aligned.
I mean I could.

I might mean a little bit extra in that concerns my shoulders are type of on the wider side, yet, but still I felt actually well straightened, and this would certainly be definitely would not go for the soft variation.
I most definitely seemed like great total on this family member to other mattresses as well, and I do think, however, that if I were a curvier and or lighter side sleeper, I could think of the soft version.
And also, if I was a heavier and or less curved and when I speak about contours as it associates with side sleeping, I include shoulders along with hips, mainly in the heavier and or less curved, then you might think concerning the company butt, however usually speaking, Dimension, libras and and the company are possibly not mosting likely to be a terrific combination, so you’re, looking more at the medium or the soft, depending on your contours and your your weight and afterwards in regards to the pressure relief.

The I seemed like the stress relief was good, was excellent, as a matter of fact, and it was interesting I felt like the method they accomplished.
The stress relief in this cushion mostly was with like simply a truly great dynamic layering system, insofar as they have actually got this quilting layer on top, which simply no doubt the softest layer of the cushion after that listed below that you have actually course.
You’ve obtained the initial layer of Titan flex and after that below that you have actually got that following layer, which is slightly stronger, therefore you type of simply are allowed to sink in.

Just as much as you recognize, your whatever stress is being positioned because point allows which that gives the mattress kind of an all-natural stress alleviation building that I think it’s extremely reliable.
And likewise, it likewise is, I assume, part of the manner in which they achieve the there’s the support for the concave components of your body so like below on my side or when I get on my back that back location.
I assume that dynamic layering system also is extremely effective method for for dealing with those needs, so so, total pressure relief, I assume, was very it was excellent.

Certainly didn’t have any kind of concerns with stress points in my experience on this bed mattress and I assume that I do think, however, that the soft variation is most likely to offer even much better pressure alleviation.Wood Slats Vs Box Spring

Once more, that’s another reason why, if I saw if you’re a side sleeper and and let’s say I currently stated – that if you’re lighter and/or curvier, but I ‘d likewise include to that like if you’re a person that’s stress alleviation demands are particularly intense, you’re, specifically susceptible to pressure Factors or pain and your shoulders and hips types of thing that would be another reason to lean towards the soft variation, as opposed to the tool.

So, on the whole, that would be my kind of ordinary of the land regarding back assistance and stress alleviation needs are concerned.

On the Brooklyn signature hybrid versions.
Now we’re going to obtain into a few of the characteristics of the bed mattress that we call a lot more choice based, indicating things that can be one method or another, yet neither of those is much better or even worse.
It’s just an issue of your individual choice and the very first of these.

We call supporting deepness which describes the difference between sleeping more on your bed mattress are getting more of a floating feeling versus resting in your cushion and obtaining even more of a hug or supported experience.
And in the situation of the Brooklyn signature crossbreed a minimum of the tool version that we’re on, we would certainly classify this as having a little shallower than ordinary supporting depth because it absolutely delivers more of that drifting experience than it does a hug or cradled sensation.
Component of that is due to the reality that you just meanwhile there is definitely some adapting.

You do not sink as deeply into this mattress as much of the others we’ve evaluated, but component of it is also because of this the nature of these top layers of foam, which do produce type of they type of accentuate that floating sort of sensation and the other Method that we often show this is with this bowling round, which you can contrast across various other videos, we’ve done, and you can see that this bowling round does probably sink somewhat less into the cushion than one more, a lot of the other cushions we have actually checked. Wood Slats Vs Box Spring

To ensure that type of more supports our classification of slightly shallower than average padding.
The following choice based particular is what we call responsiveness, which is the difference in between that kind of sluggish, responding, memory really feel versus a fast, responding bounce and in the instance of the Brooklyn trademark, you can rapidly dismiss the memory feeling since there’s no memory foam in This bed mattress for one point and every little thing usually responds rather quickly, with the one feasible exception of that top quilting foam, which is just sort of average, but absolutely not delayed memory kind of effect.

So I would claim definitely no memory feel to mention in this mattress.

In terms of bounce, we look at the bounce in different degrees of a bed mattress.
We start with the surface simply to kind of examine the the the amount of bounce you obtain just from the really leading of the mattress yeah and I would certainly say, like rather little.

In fact, like this quilting layer has very little bounce to it and it’s it’s.
It’s absolutely gotten it’s not a fast resilient sort of quilting product, it’s even more of a soft convenience foam and, as a result, kind of moistens any kind of bounce.
The following degree.

We look indicate is the mid level bounce which we with the 16 extra pound bowling ball, and you can see that there is most definitely some bounce in this mattress.

That being stated, not actually even more than like a regular springtime mattress that we test, so it doesn’t really feel like the mix of this quilting foam and the Titan flex is actually including in the bounce beyond just what you would certainly discover in a regular internal spring cushion. Wood Slats Vs Box Spring

I do not understand we do know from screening this Titan flex material in other Brooklyn bed linen items, including the previous version of the Brooklyn trademark, cushion that it does have some pliancy to it, not rather as much as the original best cushion ever that was made of Latex on the top, yet we do certainly think it has even more springiness than standard polyurethane foam.

I do believe what my evaluation here is that this quilting layer is kind of having a little bit of a dampening effect on the bounce.
When you drop the bowling ball, however still absolutely have some equilibrium, no doubt now we’re gon na examination.
The deep bounce will certainly by me putting my complete 200 pounds on the mattress, and you can see here, there’s most definitely some bounce.

I indicate, I certainly am triggering those coils and those coils are pressing me appropriate back up, so definitely some deep bounce in this bed mattress and on the whole, what we would certainly state is that this bed mattress on the action in this scale absolutely Falls well over limited towards the fast Action side of the range so currently we’re going to get into what we call priority based features, which are points that a mattress can be far better or worse at, however that might or might not be a concern for you directly and the first of these is movement.
Isolation, which you might recognize describes to what degree is the individual on conserve that side of the mattress gon na, recognize or disrupted by, what’s taking place on this side.
We’re gon na check this by dropping this 16 extra pound bowling ball, and you can see that the child pin truly hardly actions.

Wood Slats Vs Box SpringThat’s a that’s a great wonderful quantity of activity seclusion.
Now I’m gon na up the ante though, and I’m gon na drop my full 200 extra pounds down on the mattress, and you can see that once again, the bowling pin simply hardly moves so overall, we would absolutely say that this bed mattress on account of the swiped coils, principally As their assistance core has exceptional activity isolation.
Something: that’s important to some individuals is the ease of repositioning on a cushion, so we just intended to swiftly reveal you that this is not gon na be a concern on this mattress.

It is extremely easy to move on this bed mattress and you’re.
Most definitely not gon na obtain any of that stuck in the mud.
Kind of sensation. Wood Slats Vs Box Spring

Something that is very important to some people is side assistance, so we constantly have a look at this in our reviews and in the case of the Brooklyn signature hybrid.
This is certainly an area where there’s been some renovation loved one to either of both precursor variations of this bed mattress.

As you can see me resting here on this bed mattress, you can see that there is some dip, yet it’s certainly less than what we experienced with both all foam variations that preceded this, and I would say that as a whole, this this side assistance surpasses that of Most bed mattress that are all foam.

Nonetheless, it’s most likely not rather as excellent as a great deal of the bed mattress that we’ve evaluated that our inner springtime mattresses, especially those that have actually details features designed to provide the bed mattress of firmer edge like a foam border or a pair rows of stronger coils going around the Side, I can inform you that this bed mattress certainly does not utilize a foam border due to the fact that I can really feel the coils on the edge.

I do not know if they utilize stronger coils, they effectively may, yet yet regardless of that, there’s a little more dip than a great deal of the other internal springtime cushions that we’ve checked.
But I also want to mention that, in the plan of points I for one point, I really feel completely stable here.

Meet me down by the shipyard for some good old antifouling!

Having spent a few years at sea, KMBricklab has stirred my olfactory bulb and amygdala with this shipyard diorama. Those are the two parts of the brain responsible for nostalgia, and mine are tingling something fierce with memories of briny air, seagulls squalling, and a quick welder’s spark. Dry dock is the only time to see a vessel in it’s full glory and often it can seem both mighty and vulnerable. This old fishing cutter is getting some much needed antifouling of its hull.

This view offers a clearer perspective of the tidy shaker style building common in most North American seaside towns.

This view illustrates the reason a good old antifouling is needed periodically. Barnacle, seaweed and other sea life will cling fast to a ship’s hull and even gum up the rudder and screws if left untended.

But these workers have made great progress at the bow of the boat. A bit more work and a steadfast paint job and this boat will be good as new!

    That’s a really nice job on the shoreline, with the seaweed on shore and the water really representing what it’s like near the shoreline if you’r enot on a pristine tourist beach (with floating seaweed bits, dead crab parts, etc).

Let’s go window shopping

Ralf Langer teased us a while ago with the stern of a beautiful LEGO ship. In the comments he mentioned that it was actually never going to be a full ship, but a city made out of ship parts. And here it is in all it’s gloomy glory. This creation might as well be called a study of ship windows as are several lovely techniques for you to choose from. Let’s zoom in on them.

Both brown ships feature the same technique using a net between a layer of trans plates and trans tiles. This creates a stained glass effect which is just stunning. A lot of variation in colour can be achieved by using different colored trans elements. The dark brown ship with the blue glass windows uses a different technique. Here we have the 1967 fence filled with bars stuck through a technic pin.

The last window technique I want to highlight is the one on the building on the right. It uses small smooth tires filled with trans cheese slopes. This city of ships also features a lot of cleverly designed lanterns with some clever parts usage. I can spot wands, link chain and link tread. The only question I have now is: Will this connect to my Ninjago City?

Construction of the first ROCKFON North America manufacturing facility is on schedule to begin production in Mississippi by mid-2017. The exterior shell is taking shape and equipment is scheduled to arrive in the first quarter. A grand opening celebration will be planned once the new facility is operational.

Global Collaboration
The ROCKFON business is the leading supplier of stone wool acoustic solutions, a subsidiary of Denmark-based ROCKWOOL International A/S and an affiliate to ROXUL Inc. The Mississippi facility will be the fifth ROCKFON manufacturing facility in the world, extending global capacity and meeting the growing demand for ROCKFON stone wool acoustic ceiling products in North America.

To date, nearly 100 ROCKWOOL and ROXUL associates from around the world have provided their knowledge and time on the ROCKFON project to meet the highest standards on design, construction, equipment, materials and safety. Leading the project is ROCKFON managing director John Medio, with involvement from ROXUL president Trent Ogilvie. ROCKWOOL Group's Jean-Michel Grivotte acts as both project manager and project executive.

"The global collaboration on this project defines its success," says Medio. "ROCKWOOL Group associates have provided valuable guidance to our North American teams to ensure that we will add the same high quality and performance products to our global capacity as offered by our other facilities."

Based in the United States, Peter Regenberg, ROXUL vice president of operations, and Tom Smith, ROCKFON business development manager, have served as project executives from the earliest stages of the North America facility's development. They were part of the key working groups who traveled to Poland to observe best practices and apply them in Mississippi.

Construction Progress
In March 2016, the ROCKFON business broke ground in Marshall County, Mississippi, on its new facility. Located adjacent to the existing ROXUL facility, it will span 130,000 square-feet (12,000 square-meters) with room for future expansion.

Since the groundbreaking, the design-build team of Allen & Hoshall architects and Flintco construction managers has been preparing the site. The site has been excavated and graded. The concrete foundations have been poured. The steel has been erected. Finally, the exterior shell is taking shape.

The new facility in Mississippi will manufacture ROCKFON stone wool acoustic ceiling products. The ROCKFON business will continue to manufacture its specialty metal ceiling panels and Chicago Metallic suspension systems in its Chicago and Baltimore facilities. Chicago Metallic suspension systems also are manufactured in Belgium, Malaysia and China. Other ROCKFON stone wool manufacturing facilities are located in the Netherlands, Poland, France and Russia.
