Springtime Is The Right Time For Car And Truck Maintenance

AAMCO Expert Technicians Jump-Start Spring Cleaning Season with 10 Tips For a Fresh Vehicle

As annual spring cleaning rituals get underway, the experts at AAMCO, the world’s largest chain of transmission specialists and leader in total car care, know that drawers and closets are not the only things that benefit from a thorough once-over. Ignoring winter wear-and-tear on your vehicle can prevent it from running at peak performance, and an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of costly repairs down the road.

“The best way to keep a car or truck running safely and dependably is through routine preventative maintenance,” said AAMCO VP of Technical Support Bruce Chidsey. “We encourage car and truck owners to use the spring cleaning season as an opportunity to get their vehicle in top shape as we transition into the warmer weather months. It can mean the difference between a summer break and a summer breakdown.”

The following are the top 10 ways to care for everything inside, outside and under the hood of your car or truck this spring:

1. Factory Maintenance Requirements – Check the owner’s manual for required factory maintenance and consult a professional technician to perform those services.

2. Tire Pressure – Inspect tires for wear, damage and correct air pressure. Under-inflated tires can lower gas mileage by 0.3% for every pound-per-square-inch drop in pressure of all four tires, according to the U.S Department of Energy (DOE). Tires that are in good condition and properly inflated are safer — especially on wet and slick roads — and will last longer.

3. Battery – Have the battery, cables and engine drive belts inspected. If the battery is over five years old, consider replacing it before it gives you problems.

4. Engine Oil, Fluids and Filters – Spring is an ideal time to change your vehicle’s engine oil and filter. Check the manufacturer’s recommendation for frequency of other fluid changes, such as radiator coolant and transmission fluid.

5. Brakes – Have your front and rear brake pads, rotors, sensors and the related hydraulic brake parts checked for wear or damage.

6. Air Conditioning – Have the air conditioning system checked so you’re not stuck in the summer heat. Also, it is important to change the cabin air filter regularly to protect you and your system from harmful dust, pollen and other airborne dirt and debris.

7. Engine Tune-up – A vehicle that is noticeably out of tune or has failed an emissions test can affect gas mileage by an average of 4%, says the DOE. Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve mileage by as much as 40%.

8. Wiper Blades, Lights and Lamps – Don’t wait until that first spring thunderstorm to discover wiper blades are streaking, smearing or scratching the windshield, or that a bulb needs to be replaced.

9. Belts and Hoses – Check for any signs of wear and tear on any of the vehicle’s belts and hoses. These should be changed every five years.

10. Interior and Exterior Detailing – Protect the vehicle’s paint and interior with a thorough cleaning to remove all of the salts and winter gunk.

For over 50 years, AAMCO’s locally owned and independent service centers employ the latest technology and its expert technicians diagnose a repair, fix it right the first time and back it with a nationwide warranty. Known as the world’s leading transmission expert, AAMCO has evolved into a total car care brand providing a variety of services, including tire and brake repairs, tune-ups, shocks and struts, routine maintenance and more.

A and A's Movie A Day

Watching movies until we run out.

Movie 322 – Star Trek: The Motion Picture (director’s edition)

Star Trek: The Motion Picture – January 16th, 2011

And so it begins. When we began this project we knew we would have a few longer series to watch, like Star Wars and Harry Potter. But when we stopped and thought about it, we realized that the biggest of all would be Star Trek. We didn’t even own them all when we started and still it was going to be the longest run we had in the collection. Soon we decided that we had to go buy the ones we didn’t own and complete the set, because if we’re going to do that much Star Trek then we’re going to do it right. Thus, we are now in for two weeks of Trek. Beginning tonight and going through the original cast movies, TNG movies, reboot, documentaries and a parody, we will have two full weeks of Star Trek. There will be no turning back. There will be no denying that we are indeed fans.

A little background is in order, I believe. When I was a child my parents watched the original series regularly. Whenever it was on, and I’m fairly certain one of the local channels (56 or 38) did reruns on a nightly basis. Sure, we’d skip some episodes (my mother was never a fan of Mudd’s Women) but my parents knew some/most well enough to say the lines along with the cast. Whenever the ship was fired on and hit and there was a shot of all those crewmembers inexplicably wandering through the corridors during a Red Alert, getting bounced around? We’d all scramble to get up and jostle each other like we were on the ship. Why yes, we are geeks. Even my brother, long disdainful of the entire franchise, got into DS9 when he was in college. When TNG started I remember my excitement, sitting all of maybe two feet in front of the television and watching this brand new show, with a bald captain and omg female doctor and female security officer and there was a Klingon and an android and a kid who I totally immediately crushed on. We never went to conventions (okay, we went once, to a one-room con for the sole purpose of getting Brent Spiner’s CD, Ol’ Yellow Eyes Is Back) but Star Trek was my childhood and my adolescence. It’s pure comfort for me, even when it’s bad.

So, today, when we put in the first movie and I heard that music I admit, I felt something catch in my chest. I can’t deny it. I won’t be shying away from flaws in these movies, and let’s face it, they’ve got plenty. But I am viewing them through fondly rosy glasses. I am biased. I am a fangirl. I am a Trekkie (please, no terminology arguments – I’m a firm believer that you get to pick your fannish title of choice) and I am not ashamed.

All that being said, what the hell is up with the uniforms in this movie? It’s 136 minutes and often jokingly referred to as “The Motionless Picture” but my biggest complaint is the Starfleet aesthetics. They’re so bland, it’s like the life got sucked out of the show like it was salt and Nancy Crater’s been by1. Seriously, did someone decide beige was the new black? There’s a scene early on when Kirk addresses the whole Enterprise crew and they’re all in pale neutrals. Spock shows up and at least his neutral is black, which has some oomph, but soon enough he’s nice and washed out in baby blue. It’s just such a huge digression from the saturated colors of the original show. Take a look at the colors, and not just the blue, red and mustard with black uniforms. The lighting is bold, the baddies wore silver and black and red and the aliens were often brightly colored (probably to warn of danger in the case of the Orions, sort of like poison dart frogs). It’s all so wonderfully saturated and then this movie has a pale wash over everything except the mysterious energy field that’s headed towards Earth, plowing through everything in its path. I don’t know why the aesthetics look like they do, but for me it just adds to a feeling of drowsiness throughout the film.

The plot, following Kirk and his crew (led, of course, by all of our old favorites from the series) as they head off from Earth to confront this menacing energy field as it grinds its way through the galaxy towards our home planet, isn’t really a bad one. It’s a new riff on a somewhat familiar plot we’ve seen before, but it’s not badly done. It’s an extended episode of the series, sort of, and that was, apparently, its original purpose. It reintroduces the crew, gets them all into their necessary positions and it introduces some new faces. And right, I think I’ve figured out why the uniform colors got changed. If they’d introduced the new faces and put them in red we’d have twigged to the upcoming body count. Clever! So they find this energy field – whose name is V’Ger, not Melllvar – and it sucks in the ship and they have to figure out what the source of it is and what it wants and how they can satisfy it so it won’t destroy Earth. Turns out it’s a sentient machine looking for its maker (spoiler: it’s us) and Kirk, Spock and McCoy, along with one of our poor doomed single-movie pastel-shirts manage to communicate with it and help it to go through puberty.

It’s not a bad plot, and to be honest, it’s not really badly acted. I do question the speed at which some people delivered their lines – they could have cut a good ten minutes if people had picked up the pace a bit – but it’s pretty much exactly what I wanted out of the cast. It’s just that it’s a movie that has to play the triple role of a feature film plot, a reunion plot and catch us all up on current Federation/Starfleet goings-on. And it spends great sweeping amounts of time doing all three of those, plus plenty of lovingly detailed establishing shots of ships and the energy field and the crew and so on and so forth. We didn’t get a hold of the VHS “longer version” (yes, that is what it’s called) but I can only imagine there are more panoramic views of things. It is a movie that loves its source material and wants you to know that. It wants you to know that it’s all going to be awesome, because Star Trek is back and it’s moving into the future and we can all come too.

And so while it’s slow and padded and the color palette is a snoozefest, I am more than happy to hop on board. Two weeks of Star Trek. I am so happy I could cry.

1Yes, I know it’s not really Nancy, but that’s the guise the creature uses for most of the episode, so pedants please hold your nitpicking, and I’m looking at you, Matt.

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (The Director’s Edition)

January 16, 2011

Star Trek: The Motion Picture (The Director’s Edition)

Today we embark at last on one of the most ambitious series watching projects in the brief history of our movie-a-day blog. Our fourteen day mission: to explore familiar old worlds, to seek out cheesy life-forms and dated science fiction, to boldly go where every fan before us has gone before! It’s Trekstravagansa! There are eleven Star Trek movies and we own every one of them, and we have a couple other related movies we adding on to the end when we’re done with those. As will probably become apparent over the next few days both my wife and I are enormous Star Trek fans, so we’ve been anticipating this for some time. It was rather difficult to get a copy of this, the first movie in the series, but now that we finally have it we can get started. Two whole weeks of Star Trek. It’s going to be fun.

There are a number of different versions of this film out there. We were amused by the accurately titled “Longer Version” which was released (without director Robert Wise’s input) on VHS a while back and has many longer effects shots. The version we’re watching tonight is the Robert Wise approved “Director’s Edition” which includes additional CGI effects created to blend with the original footage for home video release in the nineties. (The Blu-Ray HD version apparently is only the theatrical cut since the additional footage was not produced in high enough resolution to work with the original filmed footage in HD.)

This movie has an odd and experimental feel to it. I believe it was made in response to the success of Star Wars, which proved the viability of a space adventure story a year before this movie came out, but this is not in any way an action or adventure movie. It is a strange sort of character study, concentrating far more on the interactions of the Enterprise crew than the mysterious space phenomena they’re dealing with. If I had to site a single film for influence on this movie it would be 2001, which came out more than a decade before. It’s full of long, long establishing shots of the Enterprise and the alien structure it is exploring. It has a sort of deliberate and unhurried pace – more concerned with showing us amazing visuals than with moving the plot along. (At one point it almost devolved into self-parody when during an “action” sequence everything shifts into slow-motion.)

In many ways I think of this entire film as a single colossal establishing shot. It’s a creation that had to be made to re-establish the Star Trek franchise, but it isn’t really a movie. The task here was to take a cheesy sixties sci-fi series and give it a big-budget makeover. We get to see in this movie the first appearance of the bumpy headed Klingons (as opposed to the shoe-polish colored mustachioed caricatures of the original series.) We get to hear the Klingon and Vulcan languages for the first time. We get to see a big budget effects crew’s vision of the Enterprise (contrasted with the old TV series Enterprise with it’s whirling lights.)

The real heart of Star Trek of course is its cast. Oh, sure, Gene Roddenberry created a world that captures the imagination – a future where an enlightened mankind reaches out to explore the universe (and blow parts of it up.) Ultimately, however, this is a movie about Jim and Bones and Spock and Scotty and Uhura and Sulu and Chekov. It’s a classic “getting the band back together” sort of movie. When the Earth is threatened by a vast and mysterious destructive energy cloud Admiral Kirk comes out of retirement to take over command of the newly refitted Enterprise (bumping the new dashing captain of the Enterprise, Will Decker, down to Commander – which causes much head butting and clashing of egos.) He drags a reluctant Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy out of retirement (in the most unintentionally hilarious scene in the movie when Bones shows up in a very seventies leisure suit complete with collar open to the navel and medallions draped around his neck.) When the new science officer is killed in a transporter malfunction he is soon replaced by a very stoic Mr. Spock, who has been on Vulcan undergoing a ritual intended to rid him of all emotions.

This movie accomplished its task brilliantly. It is not a thrill-a-minute adventure, but it is a wonderful launch to a franchise which transformed at this point from a well regarded but slightly cheesy low budget Wagon Train in space with a small core of rabid fans into a major milestone series which would dominate the world of science fiction for more than two decades to come. Maybe it’s not the greatest movie of all time, but it worked well enough to prove that Star Trek was alive and well. Tomorrow we’ll watch the movie that proved there were still great adventures to be had with these characters and that they could star in a grand action film with powerful emotional heft as well as pretty visual effects.

Abandoned: Discovery Island RP Wikia
Abandoned: Discovery Island RP Wikia

Jack-O-Minnie is a fan-made antagonist in Abandoned Discovery Island. She only appears if you play the game on October.

Jack-O'-Minnie appears to a Photo-Negative Minnie suit, but is orange and yellow, and completely hallow on the inside. A light is inside of Jack-O'-Minnie's head, just like a normal Jack-O'-Lantern.

Jack-O'-Minnie will start on the Roof, off camera, she will then move to Character Prep 2, lighting up the dark room with the light. She will then move to the Meat Freezer, and then the office. She will stand in front of your desk, seemingly hanging herself by a pumpkin vine from the ceiling. You must hide under your desk to get rid of her, failing to do this will result in a jumpscare.

  • Roof
  • Character Prep 2
  • Meat Freezer
  • Office

  • She is based off of the Jack-O' Animatronics from Five Nights at Freddy's 4.
  • It is unknown where the light in her head is.

Laconic office design

Year: 2021

Area: 75 sqm

Location: Chisinau, Republic of Moldova

Turnkey execution: MADLAB

Team: Alexandrin Buraga, Marco Ballerini, Vlad Stepu, Cristina Cortac

Interior Design Concept: AB + Partners

Photo: Oleg Bajura

Simple lines, focused on the play of textures and geometry. The interior of this office is the result of a complete design circuit, which we have developed over the years – design | build | furnish.

We intervened not only at the aesthetic level, but also put a special emphasis on functionality. From the very beginning the project involved a thorough reconfiguration of the premise we had. We reduced the area that was earlier designed for the bathroom and created a console in which, in addition to the bathroom, we arranged a kitchenette. Also in this perimeter we saved about 10 sq. m. of commercial space. Thus, we optimized the premise to the maximum, offering it more utility.

Given the fact that we only knew the destination of the premise, we wanted to give it an atmosphere of neutrality. This offered versatility to the future office, making it suitable for various activities. In this case, we worked on general individualization, without being inspired or focused on the details of a brand, as we did in the case of Fantastic English project.

So, we opted for grey colour. Most walls are covered by the decorative plaster of this hue, the same colour being chosen for the furniture as well. To dilute the monotony of the space, we tiled the console with panels of a satin gold hue. We have chosen black colour for the ceiling, offering it depth and nobility. Other important design elements are the slats installed on the ceiling, which support the geometry of the premise and give a contemporary and sober look to it.

Sevy? CC? Stanton? What the Yankees can expect from their injured stars in October

The New York Yankees have been dogged by injuries all season, with 29 players landing on the injured list, surpassing the previous major league record of 28, set by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2016. While there is no pride in setting such a record, the Yankees not only have managed to run away and hide in the AL East, pretty much locking up their first division title since 2012, but also are on pace to win 105 games.

Some of those injured Yankees stars are on the mend and are in a race against the clock in hopes of being fully recovered in time to contribute this season. Things will get more interesting as the Yankees face a roster crunch heading into October.

Here's a look at the status of some of the Bombers' biggest names on the IL and what they might be able to contribute going forward.

Luis Severino

Position: SP

Injury:On the 60-day IL with right-shoulder rotator cuff inflammation (since March 25); was sidelined with a Grade 2 lat strain that set him back in his rehab

2019 stats: Has not pitched

Expected return date: Thursday

What the Yankees are saying: Severino will have a third rehab start in Double-A Trenton on Wednesday. If everything goes well, he's expected to rejoin the Yankees on their current 10-game road trip. The team anticipates that Severino will throw 60-plus pitches and then make his first start in the bigs this year when the team returns to the Bronx for its final homestand of the regular season.

What Severino is saying: "If I feel good, I think I'm ready to pitch in games [in the majors]. I just want to help my team. If they need me in the bullpen, if they need me to start, I'm here. I just want to help."

What you can expect: Former major leaguer Carlos Beltran, who is now a special assistant to Yankees general manager Brian Cashman and was at Severino's last rehab start in Triple-A, told ESPN that Severino was healthy and looked great, with good speed on his fastball, which scouts present at the game said sat between 95 mph and 97 mph. With a big lead atop the AL East, the Yankees hope to use the last two weeks of the season to build Severino's arm strength, which should allow him to be part of the postseason roster. Manager Aaron Boone has said that Severino is currently undergoing the equivalent of spring training, and as such, he should have enough innings under his belt to be a solid postseason contributor, barring any setbacks. Severino's most recent major league start was in Game 3 of the 2018 American League Division Series, when he gave up six runs in three innings of a 16-1 loss to the Red Sox.

CC Sabathia

Position: SP

Injury: On the 10-day IL with right-knee inflammation (since Aug. 31)

2019 stats:5-8, 4.93 ERA, 0.3 WAR in 20 starts

Expected return date: Wednesday

What the Yankees are saying: Boone announced Sunday that Sabathia will be activated Wednesday to start the second game of a three-game set against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. The Yankees will use Sabathia in a sort of "opener" role, withDomingo Germancoming in as a reliever. The Yankees are being careful with German and managing his total innings, given that he has 140 innings pitched this season after logging 94 last year. Sabathia has not pitched more than 4 innings in an outing since July 16.

What Sabathia is saying: After throwing a bullpen session Friday, Sabathia said everything went well, and he declared he was ready for the next step. "Hopefully I can just get enough rest where [my knee will] calm down and I'm able to get back out there and throw 90 to 100 pitches," he said.

What you can expect: Sabathia has a chronic condition in his surgically repaired knee, and he said he will likely get a knee replacement after he retires at the end of this season. The 39-year-old left-hander continues to get his knee drained and receive treatment and cortisone shots in order to remain a viable starter option for the Yankees as they continue their bid for the best record in the American League. Sabathia will certainly be a question in terms of the playoffs. If he's healthy, it would be tough for the Yankees to leave him off the postseason roster, given that he's one of the most vocal leaders, and Boone has repeatedly stressed how his presence impacts the Yankees clubhouse -- in addition to this being Sabathia's final season. But putting aside the intangibles, given Sabathia's below-average performance on the mound this season, the Yankees might be better served by carrying a healthy, younger arm.

Giancarlo Stanton

Position: DH/OF

Injury:On the 60-day IL with a right-knee sprain (since June 26); had strained left biceps (March 31), strained shoulder and strained calf during his rehabilitation before coming off the IL on June 18

2019 stats: 1 HR, 7 RBIs, .290 AVG, 0.3 WAR in nine games

Expected return date:Sept. 17

What the Yankees are saying: Stanton has been doing baseball activities such as outfield agility drills and running the bases, in addition to having at-bats in simulated games last week at Yankee Stadium and most recently at the Yankees' minor league complex in Tampa. The team expects Stanton to ramp up his rehab this week and hopes he can be activated before the season ends. "It's just building up and getting to a point where he can play in a game as far as passing everything from all of his running protocols," Boone said. General manager Brian Cashman, who originally targeted August for Stanton's return, expressed a clear level of uncertainty regarding his status: "We do expect him at some point, but he's also coming back from a pretty serious injury that takes time to heal. We'll just keep waiting on it and hope that at some point he becomes a legitimate option for us."

What Stanton is saying: Stanton has said he wanted to take "a few weeks" of at-bats before the month of October: "Once I start moving around, [I'll] just see how it bounces back. But I do want to have a few weeks of at-bats before October, for sure. I want to be out there for a couple weeks, just the game routine and having whatever amount of at-bats I can."

What you can expect: Stanton might be activated off the IL for the last two weeks of the season, which would give him enough at-bats to be considered for a postseason roster spot. But that is only if he doesn't suffer any more setbacks, which seems to be a big "if" with him. The Yankees have not missed Stanton's bat this season, but he was the National League MVP two years ago and is still regarded as one of the best power hitters in baseball. If he is healthy, he will be a playoff weapon for the Yankees. The decision will depend on whether he gets enough at-bats before the playoffs, and that remains to be seen.

Dellin Betances

Position: RP

Injury:On the 60-day IL with right-shoulder impingement (since March 25); was sidelined with a lat strain during his rehab

2019 stats: Has not pitched

Expected return date: Unknown

What the Yankees are saying: Betances, like Severino, pitched a rehab outing Friday with the Yankees' Double-A affiliate in Trenton. Betances threw 19 pitches (11 strikes), and even though his fastball was around 93-94 mph, a low figure for him, the Yankees saw this as a sign that he's on track to return this season. "Another positive step for him overall," Boone said. "I thought he threw some good breaking balls, threw some good fastballs in there. Was a little erratic with a couple of things ... and then even talking to him, I think he felt good about it, and now you're just dealing with a little bit of rust, kind of the early outings of spring training."

What Betances is saying: After throwing to hitters in a simulated game Wednesday at Yankee Stadium, Betances said he believed he could get major league hitters out with his stuff, and he was encouraged with the way he was throwing and pounding the strike zone. "Felt the best I've thrown so far," he said. "Definitely encouraged with the way I threw today. The breaking ball was good -- that's the most I've thrown it for strikes -- and my fastball's good. I threw a lot of strikes, so that's all I care about."

What you can expect: A scout at Betances' Trenton rehab outing said the right-hander looked healthy but "erratic," which means he will need to iron out the kinks before the Yankees decide on a return date. Betances continues to say he's fully healthy, and the Yankees would prefer to give him at least two more rehab outings in the minors, but with the minor league season winding down, his opportunities will be limited. The Trenton Thunder are getting ready to face the Bowie Baysox in the best-of-five Eastern League championship series, which starts Wednesday, and both Severino and Betances are slated to pitch. After that game, Betances should have one more rehab outing in the minors. Then he'll likely be called up for his first major league action of the season. He most recently pitched in the majors in Game 4 of the 2018 ALDS, when he went 1 innings in relief, giving up one hit and striking out three in the Yankees' 4-3 loss to the Red Sox.

Aaron Hicks

Position: OF

Injury: On the 10-day IL with a right flexor strain (since Aug. 4)

2019 stats:12 HRs, 36 RBIs, .235 average, 1.3 WAR in 59 games

Expected return date: Unknown

What the Yankees are saying: Hicks had yet another setback in his rehab from a flexor strain, near his right elbow, which has not allowed him to ramp up his throwing. "He's slowed down," Boone said. "He's not feeling quite right. We'll see how the next several days unfold. But as of right now, he hasn't been able to advance." Hicks had an MRI that showed no ligament damage, but Boone admitted it's possible Hicks' season is over.

What Hicks is saying: When Hicks was cleared to start throwing on Aug. 30, he said he "felt really good," even though his arm felt "weird."

What you can expect: With 18 games remaining this season, it is unlikely Hicks will have enough time to mount a comeback. The 29-year-old has been injury-prone throughout his career, including missing the start of this season with a back injury that kept him sidelined until May 15. Plus, even when Hicks has been in the lineup this season, he hasn't been productive. The Yankees are down to three healthy outfielders -- Brett Gardner, Aaron Judge and Clint Frazier -- with Mike Tauchmanon the shelf with a Grade 2 calf strain and out 6-8 weeks after he suffered tightness in his right calf on Sunday. Cameron Maybin continues to deal with a left wrist injury that has kept him out of the lineup since Aug. 31, though he did come in for Tauchman on Sunday.

Laboratory planning

Our clients operate in fast-moving areas of scientific research, demanding laboratories that are practical, efficient, adaptable, flexible and easy to maintain. As one of the leading laboratory planning practices in the UK, we engage with our science clients to develop and refine the design vision, strategic options, detailed briefs, concept design and technical detailing.

Our project types include biomedical, chemical, bioengineering, engineering and physics disciplines for research, diagnostic and clinical research laboratories. Projects under construction or recently completed include Imperial College London’s Uren Biomedical Engineering Research Hub, AstraZeneca’s Global R&D Headquarters in Cambridge, MRC’s London Institute of Medical Sciences and the Royal Free / UCL Pears Building.

A key aspect of our service is working with the client’s user representatives to develop a building that meets their scientific needs over time. As well as for the scientists that will occupy the new building, the design brief must address the mid-term scientific mission and the long-term institutional requirements. Working closely with the engineering consultants, and the lead architect (if that is the case), we translate the scientific vision and technical requirements to the design team and the design aspirations and proposals to the scientists.

As large consumers of energy and resources, sustainability and considerations of cost are more important than ever. We work with the client and engineers to challenge energy use, water consumption and laboratory waste, encouraging the use of low energy systems and equipment and sustainable materials.

We maintain a database of space metrics on over 50 UK science buildings and with our detailed personal knowledge of many of the projects, we can utilise our database to benchmark the project with others in the industry thereby providing further confidence to the client of their project requirements.

Michael Uren Biomedical Engineering Hub Michael Uren Biomedical Engineering Hub

Each with over 30 years’ experience in the science sector, the Directors have been involved in all project stages. From creative, strategic studies through user briefing to technical expertise, Abell Nepp provides consultancy services including:

  • Masterplanning and Development Vision
  • Feasibility Studies
  • Space Metrics and Benchmarking
  • Laboratory Briefing
  • Technical Consultation
  • Peer Review

Our involvement in masterplanning is strategic, creative and collaborative. We often begin evaluating the existing development, seeking out the top campus priorities, studying options to rationalise, reorganise and rejuvenate and then to communicate the developed vision to the client.

Our most successful projects can often be tracked to a multidisciplinary feasibility study that captures our client’s aspirations, anticipates future requirements, explores alternatives, set against considered project costs and risks. One of our more recent exotic studies was to work with STFC and EPSRC research councils to set out a brief and budget for the National Quantum Computing Centre; a facility to build a, yet unknown, working quantum computer.

We use our space metrics database as a conversational tool as much as for statistical measurement and comparison. The position of the project is less about proximity to the mean value of the dataset, but why it should or should not be where it is. The metrics provide another evidence-based tool for the project decision makers.

We provide consultation to clients and contractors on design concepts, laboratory layouts and technical designs. One or larger and more prestigious consultancies was assisting the main contractor, Laing O’Rourke, on the Francis Crick Institute as their Science Areas Advisor.

Peer Reviews provide a client, as well as contractor, a ‘second set of eyes’ on their project. These reviews can look at some or all aspects of the project from base assumptions, appropriate designs, completeness of technical documentation and value engineering alternatives. We understand the sensitivities inherent of a peer review and present our findings in an open and constructive manner.

Today is Day Thirteen of 31 Days of Encountering God! If you missed the kick-off, you can go HERE and find the Introduction as well as each days post! (I will be adding every day as the month goes on!

Encountering God through Listening Prayer...

So we did this last Sunday... do you remember?  What did you think? I pray you were able to give it a try and that He surprised you in how He spoke!  I know we are all busy on Sundays, so I wanted to keep it simple... a little visual reminder of how He takes care of us...

...and a little prompt to simply open up a conversation with Him!

Father God...
Thank you that You watch over me...
that you cover and protect and go with me
through the hard parts!
That You are always by my side!
Lord - will you show me
how You have been there for me
this week when I was unaware?
A simple moment, a friends' kind words...
a sunset actually captured in real time,
Peace that came in, when fear was trying to rise up,
or a Scripture that stood out...
Remind me, Jesus...
I will wait...

(...and you can take it from here!)
Happy Sunday, ya'll!

Linking up with The Nester and 1000s of other #31Day Bloggers!

  1. This is a beautiful prayer - opening the door to deeper communing with Him. This > Peace that came in, when fear was trying to rise up < so often how I know He is near. Can't wait to share prayer and fellowship with you in a few blessed weeks!

  2. Oh love that prayer and that verse!!! Thank you!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I always love to hear your thoughts! Remember to: Speak Life - Be Love - Shine On!

Could Age Impact The sort of Weight Loss Diet Plans Women Follow?

Have you ever heard the expression of ‘shapeshifting’ get tossed around from the media recently? It’s no uncommon phrase for fans of Twilight or certain science-fiction franchises, nevertheless it has other applications too, and it also could impact the particular forms of weight loss diet plans women examine.

The notion of shapeshifting can be something that ladies handle over a personal level as time continue. When female age, they pack on not just years along with also pounds. Including the lucky few who are have the ability to stay pretty slender still find their bodily shape creating changes with time.

You could mature with the hourglass figure but suddenly resemble a beer mug or some other round shapes with time, without having visible waistline. In order to age gracefully, then girth control is very important.

Plenty of this starts in the woman’s twenties, when her estrogen production starts rising. Because of this rather than staying a lanky teen, she starts putting weight in her thighs, hips, and breasts. This is a good time when creating a strong habit of fitness and health can make for lifetime habits. Body fat must be minimized within this decade, and muscle mass ought to be built.

In her own thirties, a lady can certainly still have got a fit, healthy baby if she herself is fit and healthy. Yet, even without kids, her metabolism will almost certainly start slowing down. The weight loss programs women examine within this age range will include weight training to help keep metabolism near to as well as at its peak.

The fourties are when shapeshifting will get becomes visibly evident for most, given fluctuations in the degrees of both estrogen and progesterone. Females might begin noticing really enjoy handles or perhaps a pot belly. Gaining increasingly productive and producing lifestyle changes are able to keep an individual in command of this.

Most women assume their fifties certainly are a decade that is representative of a reason for no return. That only happens when you allow it to. Keeping your mind and body active helps you stay alert and fit. Enhance your cardio where you can. That may mean more distance instead of more speed. Also, maintain your resistance training. Always bear in mind the goal is living an extended, healthy life. Even moderate work yields gains.

A lot of weight loss diet plans women love could become harder with their sixties, his or her energy just isn’t where it was once, but weight loss is still possible, even just in this age variety. Remember, changing weightloss programs might bring about new changes and outcomes. Continually be willing to work alongside Your specialist professional and anyone else on your own care team to modify diets, exercises, or perhaps the paid program which you follow. If you’re just going solo, it will be time to look at a paid plan that’s professionally managed. Support groups are capable of doing wonders so you’re not the only one in most this.

When you exercise might matter a great deal too. If you your cardio before breakfast, then research suggests you’ll burn 3 times as many calories while you would later or right after a meal. You’ll also kickstart the body into more calorie burning with higher metabolism over the course of the day.

Coffee could possibly be something to examine. The excess energy it will give you can assist you power by way of a workout, particularly if a restricted diet is causing you to be feeling a little bit lethargic.

Consider redefining the things you consider exercise. It doesn’t need to be endless hours with a treadmill or gaining packed in like sardines within a sweaty gym. For the most part, workout is just being working. Take walks in pretty parks, and hike nature trails and mountains. Play a sport with friends, or take your furry friend for any walk. You may well think of such activities as hard-core exercise, but they are exercise. To put it briefly, exercise doesn’t ought to feel like work.

Take note of any women with your immediate social circle that successfully dropped a few pounds, and ask if there was a specific program they used. Everybody is different, and your doctor ought to be your primary method to obtain advice and knowledge on the particular program to try out. However, if you see a family member, friend, or coworker lose fat, it is possible to possibly follow in their footsteps knowing these people were a success.

Consider joining a weight loss program females that includes a social component. The difficulties and importance of weight reduction for women are different than it is for the kids or men. Having the capacity to go out with others facing your same challenge can be a tremendous source of advice and emotional give you support get noanywhere else.

Find Weight Loss Diet Plans Women Depend On To Get The Best Results

Find Weight Loss Diet Plans Women Depend On To Get The Best Results

In relation to weightloss programs women have many options. People tend to focus on diet plans and programs which promise quick results. Whatever program you select, you’re gonna need to understand which it must help you address a highly-balanced diet. You are able to certainly take different approaches, and there are lots of diet. Discover the program that can help you will make change in lifestyle so that you will not merely lose the body weight, but you maintain it also.

Everybody nowdays loves sugar, there is undoubtedly nothing wrong with indulging every once in awhile. You have to build indulgences into your plan, or you will be miserable. When I address sugar along, I wish for you to know that everything you do now may vary than what you do in the maintenance phase. You are going to must make some sacrifices to get the weight off, and you can eat according to what’s needed to keep it off.

There is a difference between shedding pounds and not regaining it. You need to do want to get a good jump start, and addressing your sugar intake is one way to complete the job. Find a program that helps you accomplish that, and I wish to present you with some helpful suggestions. First, remove the sodas. Whenever possible, cut out the dietary plan sodas, too. Next, remove most all sugars from the diet. That looks like you’re overdoing it, but allow me to explain.

First, keep in mind that you’re during this process of shedding weight, which means this isn’t going to be your diet plan forever. Second, know that we eat way too much sugar, fat, carbs and everything, all over the board. We reside in a world that shows us we can easily make bad dietary decisions at every turn. When you eat enough fresh whole vegetables and fruit, and also you follow a balanced diet on the whole, you’re gonna discover that you don’t need to sacrifice on quantity.

People make sacrifices on quantity because they make a lot of bad food choices. You’re going to need to retrain your body. That is certainly one more reason why for the first few days, people sometimes feel like these are starving themselves. As outlined simply by experts, it’s harder generally speaking for ladies to shed pounds than men, too. That doesn’t help it become the most convenient goal for yourself, but you’ve got this. It could be done, along with you’re going to have a big smile when you hit your goals.

It’s not just regarding the weight loss. It’s regarding how healthy the body is going to feel. When we are younger, we don’t always feel that the extra weight will be such a burden. It’s not, but as we age, weight as well as its health consequences get their toll. That’s why with regards to weight loss programs women must find what works to them not merely now but later, too.

After you have a particular eating routine for a period of time, you’re going to see exactly what it does for your body. Recently i ate some meat on vacation after you have been a vegetarian for nearly a year. While I enjoyed the meat, and eating it isn’t an unsatisfactory idea or anything, I quickly realized why I am just a vegetarian. My body had become utilized to processing a vegetarian diet, and it comes with many benefits.

Now I’m not suggesting you adhere to a vegetarian eating plan. A Few Things I am suggesting, however, is that you look for a program that one could follow all through your daily life. After losing the extra weight, you possibly will not be part of this program, nevertheless, you continues to follow a diet plan based upon the things you learned. And over time, you are going to better understand why you are doing so.

Dialing back the sugars was mentioned being a great kickstart. You’re going to need to dial back everything, aside from what you know to become healthy diet. You’re going to have to give attention to cooking your diet. Don’t make an effort to change everything simultaneously either. That’s why it’s a great idea to get a solid program because there is a large amount of what you should do already arranged for you personally and able to go.

You may address your needs and wants, and you could address your weaknesses and strengths. Working with a dietician or fitness expert wouldn’t be described as a bad idea either, considering many people are somebody. Personalized plans will always be best. Yet not every person is able to afford to get a trainer or even a dietician.

With that being said, you realize yourself, and you may make whatever plan or program you choose individual for you. Tailor this system to match what you’re searching for, and always be honest on your own so that you are eating to shed pounds and keep it off. In relation to weight loss programs ladies have many options. Choose the right arrange for you today and get started straight away.

New Survey Finds More Countries Turning to Macro Grids to Enable Energy Transition

U.S. Transmission Development Lags Behind China, European Union, South America and India

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A global survey of Macro Grids conducted by Iowa State University and released today shows countries around the world are scaling up their electric grids in order to tap low-cost domestic and foreign renewable resources, grow their economies, and strengthen security.

Sponsored by Americans for a Clean Energy Grid as part of the Macro Grid Initiative, Macro Grids in the Mainstream: An International Survey of Plans and Progress examines whether, and to what extent, other countries are planning and building Macro Grids, defined as a network of ultra-high voltage regional and interregional transmission lines, expansive in geographical scope.

“This report shows that interregional transmission Macro Grids are a worldwide phenomenon,” said James McCalley, Distinguished Professor and London Chair Professor of Power Systems Engineering at Iowa State University. “The U.S. is lagging behind, yet, it has every reason to catch up since Macro Grids are highly effective in decreasing the cost of electric energy throughout the nation for any portfolio of resources, providing grid reliability, resilience, and adaptability, while facilitating the integration of renewables which are not only carbon-free but are today’s least-cost generation technologies.”

Interest in interregional transmission and Macro Grids (sometimes called “supergrids”) has grown worldwide, according to the report. China, the European Union, South America and India are all investing in large-scale transmission infrastructure. The report shows the United States lagging far behind other countries in planning and building these networks, beneficial for reliability and resilience and necessary for the cost-effective integration of new wind and solar energy projects.

“It is both inspiring and disconcerting to see the progress others are making building large infrastructure,” said Rob Gramlich, Executive Director of Americans for a Clean Energy Grid. “This year marks the 50th anniversary of the 846-mile, 3,100-megawatt Pacific DC Intertie, so America has done this before, and we can do it again.”

“Despite multiple research studies demonstrating the significant economic benefits of a Macro Grid, the U.S. now lags behind its peers with an antiquated electric grid and transmission system,” said Tracy Warren, Director of the Macro Grid Initiative. “An advanced Macro Grid will help us compete internationally with countries that have already built high-voltage long distance lines, and it will also enable the integration of higher levels of renewable power.”

Key Report Findings Include:

  • Macro Grids and high-voltage interregional transmission connections are either already in place, under development or being considered almost everywhere in the world.
  • China has recently completed five times more high-voltage interregional transmission than Europe, and over 80 times more than the U.S.
  • The European Union is planning and building high-voltage transmission to support the development of offshore wind in the northern seas.
  • The U.S. should review its policies to address current challenges to interregional transmission and Macro Grid development.

DIY Chinese herbal foot soak

Winter is here. It is the season of kidney and urinary bladder systems in Chinese medicine. The kidneys are strongly connected with our reproductive functions.

Imagine the human body to a tree, with the torso as the trunk, the arms the branches and the feet the root. It is where we connect with the earth. They help us to stand, walk, run, surf and skate. The feet contain ¼ of all the bones in the body. They are where the leg yin (Kidney, Liver, Spleen) channels begin and where the leg yang (Gallbladder, Stomach, Urinary Bladder) channels end. That’s 6 meridians that reach the feet, each of which has more than 60 acupuncture points. The feet have points that correspond to many parts and organs of the body. The kidney channel starts on the sole of the foot, so be sure to warm shoes that cover your entire feet and thick socks. Avoid walking barefoot on cold concrete and tiles.

The feet are very important in maintaining and restoring balance in the body for good health. I’m sure you are all aware of reflexology, which is a specialised form of Chinese medicine. Traditionally, warm foot baths were used at night before going to bed to improve blood circulation and help with sleep. Especially over winter, one of my favourite ways to assist patients is with a herbal foot soak. Foot soak’s have been used for centuries. They can assist with bunions, athlete’s foot, and much more. Our feet tend to get neglected in the cooler months.

How to use a foot soak:

  • Book a consultation with a Chinese medicine herbalist
  • 1 bag of herbs will last 7 days.
  • Put herbs in a large pot, add as much water as you can (up to 8L). ·
  • Cover the pot and bring the herbs to boil.
  • Turn down the flame and simmer slowly for 20-25 minutes.
  • Remove pot.
  • Pour liquid into a “foot soak” bucket (aka anything that you can put boiling hot water and your feet in) and wait until you can put your feet in the water. You want it to be warm but not uncomfortable hot.
  • Soak feet before bed, for 20 minutes or until you break a sweat*, then remove your feet.
  • After using soak, dry the skin and keep it warm (please no barefoot walking on cold floor!).

The soak can be used once a day up to 7 days. No need to boil again, reheat the liquid to a sufficiently warm temperature.

*Sweating a little bit is agood sign of unblocking energy pathways, but too much sweating isn’t ideal as it consumes too much energy. It may take longer to sweat for those with blockages or an insufficient supply of energy. This should change over time when soaking regularly.

**Please don’t soak after consuming alcohol or when feeling fatigued.

DIY foot soaks:
Epsom salts:
Add about 1½ cups of epsom salts to warm water. Alleviates constipation, reduces fatigue, improves sleep

Ginger & white wine:
Ginger slices (50g), Chinese white wine (50ml)
Directions: Boil the ginger in water for a few minutes. Then add ginger water and wine to hot water in a bucket. Especially good for those with cold extremities in winter.

Ginger & dandelion:
Ginger (50g), dandelion (50g)
Directions: Boil ingredients in water. Add to hot water in a basin.
This soak helps relieve symptoms of flu, fever or headache.

Motherwort, chrysanthemum, skullcap root & fleeceflower stem:
These herbs together activate blood circulation, warms the uterus and may relieves painful menstruation.

Remember you can book online for your free 15 minute health consultation for more herbal soaks ideas.
