Tips & Tricks

How do I...?

Expand All | Collapse All

Go to the settings file: C:\Program Files\xGEL Data Systems\xGEL LabMate\xGel Data Files\User Preferences\MsgBoxConfig.txt and edit it in a text editor to Show (0), or Hide (1) the various messages.

Here is what the file looks like when you call it up in a text editor:

"modMain - Auto BackUp Completed",0
"modMain - Auto Delayed Archive Completed",0
"Printing - Make sure you are using paper stock",0
"Summary Printing - Unless you like paper and scissors",1
"Test Printing - Please check printer for test assignment sheets",1
"Test Printing - Please check printer for test cards",1
"The project will not be exported to the thumb drive",1
"Show job stats when printing summary",0

The first field is the message type and is just a reminder to you. It is not read by the code. The second field is the display setting. Change it according to what you want to do.

1 = Hide

DO NOT change the line order of the items as the code associates a line number with the message it goes with. The line 3 setting corresponds to the "Printing - Make sure you are using paper stock" message toggle.

On the main xGEL screen, right above the "x" in xGEL and about 2inches up there is a hidden area that you click. This will exit the program.

Click on the heading of the grid column that you want to sort on. Click it again to sort it the other way.

Good Luck - Ain't Really Happening for a while at least. (Remember - 3 coders and a cat) OK. Here is the deal, because of the way computers sort stuff, boring B-10 will sort between B-1 and B-2. When we first coded xGEL LabMate, we had it so that you could ONLY designate borings as numbers - like 1, 2 ,3, 4, 10, etc. and with number fields everything sorted just fine. Then users cried because they do not number their borings that way, they "number' them and embed other information in the "number" (VERY BAD for database design - and B-1 is NOT a number). For example, they wanted to be able to designate them as B-1, B-2, B-3A, B-98-98GY-76, and a host of other ways and so we changed it up.

Work Around ....Live with it .. or...restructure your numbering so that it is like this:

In this case things will sort fine.

Take heart. The faster we get traction (the more you get your friends sold on the xGEL LabMate) , the faster we will be able to code ($$$) in another module to allow either way.

#1. We only support Ohaus Scales - for right now.

#2. Check to see that you have xGEL scale setting matches the one that you are using. After logging in to the LabMate, at the lower right corner of the display there is a green button "Scale/Tare & UDW Dim Settings".

Right above this button is the current scale that the xGEL LabMate is set up for. If this is not the correct scale then, click that green button and then on the next screen click the button "Change Scale" to get to the screen that allows you to select a different scale.

#3. If you are using an Ohaus scale in conjunction with an RS 232 Serial cable, then it must be hooked to your computer's Serial Port #1.

Look at the back of your computer . There is probably only one serial port, however, some computers, especially the touch computers like used in restraunts and some of the xGEL users, have more. If you have more, then look in your computer manual or perhaps on a marking on the computer case and move the scale cable to a Com Port marked COM 1. This will generally do the trick.

Turn your scale off and then back on and see if the scale shows up. If not. Reboot - the almost last resort universal "fix".

#4. If all this does not work then you may need to Reassign your Ports so that whatever Port the scale is hooked up to is called COM1 by Windows.

To check/change your Port Settings in Windows XP (xGEL's supported Platform) do this...

Go to Start|Control Panel|Administrative Tools|Computer Management|Device Manager|Ports(Com&LPT)

Expand the Manager|Ports(Com&LPT) section

Find the port that has the Ohaus Scale on it

Right click it and then choose Properties.

On the Properties Dialog - Go to the Port Settings Tab

On the Port Settings tab, down at the bottom area choose "Advanced". In the lower left is a dropdown where you can change the Com Port number assignment. Click the dropdown and it will show a list of available ports.

Change it to COM 1.

Choose OK, and the scale should now be on COM 1.

Note #1: If you already have a COM1 but it is greyed out or otherwise in use, you will need to first change it's Port Number to some other number so that you will have a COM 1 value that you can assign to the scale. Be sure that you do not have something else that needs the existing COM 1.

Note #2: If you are using a USB Cable on the ScoutPro then the USB port that it is hooked into needs to be designated as Port #7. Go thru the same process except with the USB Ports.

If you need more assistance, please talk first to your company computer dude. These guys are pretty savvy and can generally take care of things for you in a snap - especially since they know your system and are right there and able to look at it in real time. If you still have a problem then rustle the cat food bag (send an email to [javascript protected email address]) and I will try and help.

~ Ninja

Ah, yes ... the fisky mouse cursor. Because of the way the scale communicates it sometimes fakes out the computer and masquerades as a pointing device. This confuses the computer and it thinks that the scale is a mouse. The way to fix this is to Always Boot up the Computer with the Scale Turned Off. After boot-up then turn the scale ON.

If everything was working just fine and then things start going crazy (like after a hibernation period with the screen saver) then:

Get out of LabMate,
Turn the scale OFF,
Then turn in back ON.

If this doesn't work then:

Turn the scale OFF
Reboot the computer
Then, after you call up xGEL LabMate, turn the scale ON.

Gratitude and Grace

Kathy Krugergo with the flow, gratitude, happiness, meditation21 Comments

The toilet roll needs changing, again. And again, and again, and again, and again, and again. Every. Single. Time.

The clothes are lying on the bathroom floor, again. And again, and again, and again, and again. Every. Single. Time.

The shoes are left where I’ll trip over them, again. And again, and again, and again, and again. Every. Single. Time.

The light turns red because I’m running late. You get the drift.

The secret to finding grace is to find gratitude amidst frustration.

Simply saying the word, Gratitude, as I’ve been doing lately, and allowing something, anything that you are grateful for to spring to mind, resets the frustration and maybe even the pain. Annoyance is replaced with appreciation.

You trick your brain into forgetting that frustrating thing and instead bask in gratitude for that cute thing your child did yesterday or the sunrise you saw the other morning.

If you can be grateful in the actual moment for the actual frustrating or painful thing then that’s grace on steroids. I’m working on finding that kind of grace.

There’s a lot to be said for gratitude journaling, for #everydaygrateful Instagram hashtags and for meditations focusing on gratitude (I’m doing the Deepak Chopra/Oprah Winfrey meditation series on Gratitude & Grace at the moment).

But I reckon the real power of gratitude is how it unlocks the grace we have inside ourselves, especially when we find gratitude when it’s hard going and not simply in the moments when your kid does that cute thing or the sun rises in splendour.

Grace is not some rare blessing, or good fortune bestowed on those who seem to live a charmed, beautiful and refined existence.

Grace is the elegance of synchronicity, of things falling into place, when we use gratitude to surrender to the universe. We move from annoyance and frustration, straight through acceptance and into gratitude and then magically into grace.

Gratitude and grace are like yin and yang – you can’t have one without the other. Or more correctly you are blind to grace without gratitude. It is gratitude that opens your eyes, your heart and your soul to the gifts of grace.

Right now (well a few moments ago), I was grateful as I lay on the couch, for the winter sun streaming in, even though I’m sick, and this is the second bout of sickness in the last couple of weeks.

Now I’m grateful that I’ve finally finished this post, which has sat half-written for a few days – you know sickness and busyness and all.

And I’ll be grateful to any and all who choose to read it. Linking up (late) with Jess for another IBOT.

  1. Min (@riteofthemiddle)

    Gratitude is something I make a conscious effort to weave into my every day! It helps change my mindset when I start to think a little too negatively. I rein it in and refocus my mind on something I am grateful about. It changes the whole feel of that present moment and sets me on a more positive path for the remainder of the day. I love that you’ve associated Grace with gratitude because Grace to me represents having good manners, being courteous and respectful, and being dignified – all attributes that living with gratitude will bring! 🙂 x

    1. Kathy Kruger

      Thanks Min – you know I think that having Grace is really about presence and self-assurance to allow the universe to work its wonders. That comes through in a dignified acceptance and gratitude for how things are, in patience, courtesy and respect as you say.

  2. Liz

    well done on finishing your post! Yes, to all of those frustrations and yes to trying to stay grateful and graceful amongst it all. It is a challenge though.. It’s hard to understand why when ultimately our lives are so privileged. The human mind is a complicated thing I guess

    1. Kathy Kruger

      Thanks Liz – you are so right – if we stopped to think about things we would realise we should be permanently grateful for all the things we get to enjoy in our western world lives.

  3. Janet Camilleri

    Hope you’re feeling better soon. Gratitude and grace are two of my favourite principles to live by. I often say grace is the grease on the wheels of any relationship but particularly in a marriage 😉

  4. Erika @ Ever-changing Life of a Mum

    “the real power of gratitude is how it unlocks the grace we have inside ourselves” – this is so lovely! Being grateful, present and enjoying now are mindsets I try to incorporate in my own life. Although it’s easy to overlook this and let the busyness of life take over, it’s amazing how powerful positive thoughts can be. Hope you feel better soon!

  5. Maxabella

    Bring thankful is ingrained in me after practising it for years and years. There is a lightness of head and heart that comes with leading a grateful life. I have also found lately that there is power in teaching myself how to block negativity. That’s the next step that I’m working on. x

    1. Kathy Kruger

      I reckon you’d be great at blocking out negativity – you are such a positive and grateful person. I know I will always be a work in progress when it comes to stamping out judgement in particular.

    Hey Kathy,

    This is the first time to your blog and I am grateful.

    For a while I was having a problem with gratitude, I just did not want to see it or feel it, especially in times when things got tough. However something has changed, I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I don’t mind. Ever since I began blogging I seem to have gratitude for writing and connecting with an amazing bunch of people.

    This always seems to shift my mood and gives me time of actually being in the now and truly enjoying what I am doing. How could I not find gratitude and grace in that. Thanks for the post, I enjoyed it.

    1. Kathy Kruger

      Thanks Rachel and thanks for visiting. I definitely feel grateful for the connections you make through blogging and I think the process of writing blog posts is a great way to reflect and hopefully look for gratitude and grace in what life brings. And I love being inspired by what other people write.

  8. Monique@The Urban Mum

    I would do so much better to remember Grace and Gratitude in times when it is really needed, rather than ‘after’ the event. I am glad I found your blog it has a lovely flow to the posts x

    1. Kathy Kruger

      Thanks Monique. I just went and looked at your blog and it looks great. Your post about Tokyo brought back some great memories and made me realise how much there is to see (we only had 3 nights there as part of a ski trip last year – will have to go back).

The Benefits of a Clean Home

It’s called home because we live in it. A house is just a structure. A home is the place we live with our family, eat meals, do life, make memories…and yes, make messes. A clean house makes you feel better and alleviates some stress. A clean home makes you feel a little more in control, and keeps you from thinking of all the things you need to do before you can relax. A long day at work, followed by the bustle of dinner, homework, and other evening activities like dance, music, baseball, cheerleading and so on doesn’t leave much time for cleaning, does it?

Your Life Maid Simple is here to help. It’s simple really, we’re here to help you have that clean home and get to enjoy all of life’s moments that we all know pass by too fast.

Call us today and get back to living.

Evoluzione ok

Z408 printing system’s launch ushers in a new phase in the development of Zanasi’s macrocharacter product range, opening the door to unprecedented coding opportunities through improved technique and technology. Let’s discover together the characteristics which make Z408the most reliable solution in an almost unlimited number of sectors and applications!

Starting from the outside, it is impossible not to dwell on the compact stainless steel structure, specifically designed for being even more resistant to infiltrations of dust and water, humidity and extreme temperatures. This allows the system to boast an enhanced IP protection, which is in itself a guarantee of high and constant performances in any working environment, including the harshest ones.

Foto teste di stampa

The presence of more than one production line or the necessity of printing on different sides of the same package do not limit the system’s efficiency either. As a matter of fact, though being something new, Z408 is perfectly compatible with the standard NZ printheads: it is able to drive up to 4 of them, even mixed! Thanks to the multiple control the printer is available in 24 different configurations.

orkestra_payoff_O-01 - Copia - Copia

Besides the extreme flexibility, what characterises Z408 is the sophisticated technological level, which makes it absolutely fast and easy to use even for non-experts. A wide color display, comparable to that of any state-of-the-art smartphone, allows users to access with a few touches Orkestra®‘s multiple functionalities. This innovative software has been developed with the primary aim of managing the system’s interaction with external devices and to get it to work remotely.

The software’s effectiveness is also evident on the consumption front: thanks to a dedicated module, it is possible to know the exact quantity of ink which has been used for each single print, with indication of the related expenditure. The purge and calibration per single dot function also contributes to save costs: preventing the nozzles’ obstruction, it limits or avoids maintenance completely. Added to this is the action of the renowned high efficiency and precision solenoid technology, which keeps initial investment low.

Z408: the perfect combination between Zanasi 30-year experience in macrocharacter printing and technological progress. To discover its technical specifications in detail, please download the attached documents.

Thanks to a young and diverse community, Instagram is clearly become the fashionable social network, and all this thanks to a simple display allowing only photos or videos to be shared. More and more people are joining Instagram, competing Facebook, so much so that Mark Zuckerberg’s famous social network bought it out in 2012.

Michael Bakari Jordan

To Michael B. Jordan, family, food, and leaving a mark on the world are most important.

While to the rest of the world he is Michael Bakari Jordan, famous for roles in Black Panther & Fahrenheit 451, his friends call him Mike.

Picture 1

Tell us where you lived before moving to Los Angeles.

I moved to Los Angeles when he was 19 years old and to try my luck and convert my teenage acting career into a remarkable one. Before that, I lived in a rough part of Newark, and living there taught me a lot about life.

I am still very much an East Coast boy at heart. Growing up on the East Coast, going to Manhattan, gives you a sense of how to live your life. To hustle. To become a go-getter.

How has life been since then?

It has been working fine. In 2013, after a couple of teenage roles in The Wire & Friday Night Lights, I was showered with acclaim for the way I acted in the Fruitvale Station movie. Re-creating the last day in the life of Oscar Grant, was an eye-opening experience. I have appeared in the reimagined Fantastic Four.

Starring in Black Panther, Fahrenheit 451, and Creed II, have really challenged my acting skills and they have been great for me personally.

Have you faced discrimination while working?

It is a harsh reality that even in the 21st century, racial discrimination is within the bounds. There are several things that a successful black man endures as he tries to traverse this unfair world. I am from New Jersey and I love real people. I have struggled a lot in life from sleeping in the kitchen during the winters to stay warm. So, yes, I have struggled to get where I am.

I love telling the experience of being a Black male in the USA. Instead of going back into the past, I want to tell the stories from a modern perspective to show where we are today and where we have to go from there.

When it comes to the characters of African-American characters in the industry, there is a huge gap between the old school and new school actors. I don’t think there are enough people my age making a mark.

We still live in a world where there are stereotypes – we all have seen stereotypical black roles of drug dealers or thugs, etc. I feel the world is wide and we can explore things so much better, as we did in the Black Panther.

When you were thinking about Fahrenheit 451, what was going through your mind?

You will be surprised to know that moral misgivings nearly made me turn down the leading actor role in Fahrenheit 451 of a book-burning fireman who hunts down underground freethinkers.

The role of Montag, weighed on me heavily, especially with current social debates about the use of excessive police force, treatment of minorities, etc. During my analysis of Fahrenheit 451 essay and script, I was hesitant about taking this project on because of the authoritarian nature of the role. I wasn’t interested in taking on the role of an oppressor in the film.

However, as we all know, the story turns when Montag has the sudden curiosity to see what is inside the books that people are willing to die for. This crisis of conscience of Montag is what assuaged by unease about the role.

The overall message given by the movie was bigger than me and my reservations. It is a really powerful piece of art and the movie has done so much good out in the world – I am happy that I chose to work on this project.

Picture 2

What are your thoughts about Black Panther 2?

Black Panther is something that is very near to my heart. I had a tough year, having lost someone who was very close to me. Being in the Black Panther world, playing a character that I love, working with my fellows there, I would love that.

We created a family working on Black Panther. I learned so much and made wonderful memories working on the film. To be in that world again is something that I will always be open to.

What is the use of lactulose syrup

This is how the active ingredient lactulose works

Lactulose is produced as a double sugar from milk sugar (lactose). In contrast to lactose, it is indigestible and therefore remains in the intestine. This draws water into the intestines, which softens the intestinal contents. In the large intestine (colon), the laxative can partially be broken down by the bacteria located there. The resulting breakdown products (lactic acid, acetic acid and other organic acids) stimulate bowel movements and thereby facilitate bowel movements.

Another, but rarely used, effect of these acids, which arise during lactulose breakdown, is that they create a more acidic environment in the intestine. This is an advantage in the case of certain liver diseases: If the liver can no longer fulfill its detoxification function, toxic metabolic products such as ammonia will accumulate in higher concentrations in the blood. This is bound by the acidic environment in the large intestine and thus effectively removed from the blood.

Breakdown and excretion of lactulose

After taking the laxative, only about half to two percent of the total amount of active ingredient is absorbed into the blood through the intestine. This portion is excreted unchanged via the kidneys with the urine. The laxative effect, with which the active ingredient leaves the body, usually occurs after two to ten hours.

When is lactulose used?

Lactulose is used for constipation that cannot be adequately improved by a high-fiber diet and other general measures (adequate fluid intake, balanced diet, etc.).

The active ingredient is also given in situations that require easier bowel movements, such as after surgery on the rectum or in the case of rectal ulcers.

Furthermore, lactulose is used in the prevention and treatment of so-called "portocaval encephalopathy", a liver disease in which there is increased ammonia blood levels.

The application can be made once, short-term or long-term.

This is how lactulose is used

The active ingredient is marketed in the form of lactulose syrup (or lactulose juice) or as a powder. Both dosage forms can be mixed in liquid or taken undiluted, but sufficient liquid should always be drunk (at least one and a half to two liters daily). If the intake is planned over a longer period of time, it should always take place at the same time each day. It is taken independently of meals. The maximum lactulose dosage should not exceed 30 grams per day.

What are the side effects of lactulose?

In more than every tenth person treated, lactulose side effects such as abdominal pain, flatulence, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea occur, especially at the beginning of therapy. The severity of the side effects depends on the level of the dosage. With long-term use, disturbances in the area of the water and electrolyte balance must be expected.

What should be considered when taking lactulose?

Some drugs trigger a loss of potassium as a side effect, for example dehydrating agents, cortisone derivatives and amphotericin B (anti-fungal agents). The laxative can increase this side effect.

In the case of drugs with delayed release of active ingredients (so-called sustained release drugs), the effect can be shortened because lactulose accelerates the passage through the intestines.

In the case of acute inflammatory gastrointestinal diseases or disorders in the water and electrolyte balance, the laxative should not be used.

Medicines containing the active ingredient lactulose can be used during pregnancy, breastfeeding and in the elderly.

Use in children should be the exception and be monitored by a doctor.

How to get medicines with lactulose

Medicines with the active ingredient lactulose are only available from pharmacies, but are not subject to prescription. However, they can be prescribed for certain underlying diseases at the expense of the statutory health insurance.

Since when has lactulose been known?

In 1930 it was first described that lactulose is formed from milk sugar (lactose) when heated. In 1956, the doctor Friedrich Petuely was able to prove that the administration of lactulose leads to an increased number of certain lactobacilli in the stool and thus could alleviate the side effects of broad-spectrum antibiotics. He also discovered the laxative effect of Lactulose. In the 1960s, the laxative finally came onto the market in Europe.

It’s Over: Detoxing the Narcissist

freedomThe journey to a healed life after narcissistic abuse is not a quick and easy one. Reminders of past conflicts continue to hurt and create new pain.  It is common to lose contact with you own needs, desires and sense of self when you have survived purgatory.  Recovery from relationship abuse is a lifelong commitment of dedication and hard work that is well worth the effort.  You will find freedom, love and serenity if you keep showing up. It is inevitable that there will be times of sadness, tension or outright anger.

I believe there is a psychic enslavement of the person when a narcissist captures codependent supply.  Breaking the chords of entrapment requires the body to detox itself of unhealthy hazardous emotional waste.  The detox symptoms produce anxiety, restlessness, irritability, insomnia, headaches, poor concentration, depression, obsessions, and social isolation.   Detoxing symptoms are similar to post-acute withdrawal from drugs.  Among the signs of addiction are compulsion, obsession, and denial, craving, mood swings, and unpredictable behavior.  As the relationship or addiction progresses control over thoughts and behavior are lost.  Your life is no longer under your control and the losses became increasingly profound.  Like alcoholism or drug use, withdrawal from the narcissistic relationship shares many of the same benchmarks, as does the process of relapse.  In the beginning, your emotions will change minute to minute and hour to hour.  As you continue to heal the good stretches will get longer and longer.  Detoxing the loss is necessary but not a steady progress; rather it will be two steps forward and one step back.  You are likely to experience periods of emotional instability.  Grieving is important and so is knowing what it is you are grieving for.  I recommend that you list your losses on paper as a preventive measure against relapse. Crying in front of other people as you process your grief is understandable.  Grief isn’t always predictable, not always controllable.  Cutting off all contact with your abuser is necessary for your own mental health and the only way you will guarantee not going back.  If you have children a mediator or attorney will need to communicate for you.

Many partners hang on for years hoping the narcissist will own up to what they have done and admit to their cruelty.  The withheld admission of wrong doing becomes “unfinished business.”  The lack of closure when you leave can contribute to obsessive thoughts about getting revenge.  The spiritual challenge becomes one of letting go of the desire for retribution. Hurtful behavior is in the past; remember your freedom involves giving up the urge to punish.  You need to accept that the narcissist is incapable of caring about your feelings or loving you.  Narcissistic entitlement is a self-serving, one-way street attitude that creates bitterness and resentment in the abuser who feels entitled and in the people around them who don’t like being treated that way.  If you don’t accept “what is” the narcissist gets to continue to destroy your life.  You become a volunteer martyr when you refuse to heal and give up a victim mentality.

Treatment for the survivors includes education, individual therapy, changing unhealthy behavior, and courageous exploration through which you rediscover yourself and identify self-defeating patterns. You pull through the dark night of the soul by creating a new life.  If you don’t create a new life, the factors that brought you to your victimization will eventually be repeated.  You can set goals and direction for your life and place value on yourself.  You can love and encourage yourself.  You stop the abuse by sitting on your hands and doing nothing when you feel the urge to contact your abuser.  After a while you will develop confidence to change your life.  Peace will become more important than chaos and drama.  You will own your power and life will be manageable.

Thank you for reading my post. I’ve dedicated my personal and professional life to the importance of non-violence and self-compassion by teaching from my experience.  As a result, I’ve learned a lot about what it takes put an end to relationship abuse.  And, as I learn and grow, I teach self-compassion and give advice I use myself, in the hopes that it helps you to improve your own life.

Casualty Figures: How Five Men Survived The First World War

By Barrett, Michele

Condition: New

Binding: Hardcover

ISBN: 9781844672301

Casualty Figures is not about the millions who died in the First World War; it is about the countless thousands of men who lived as long-term casualties--not of shrapnel and gas, but of the bleak trauma of the slaughter they escaped. In this powerful new book, Michèle Barrett uncovers the lives of five ordinary soldiers who endured the "war to end all wars," and how they dealt with its horrors, both at the front and after the war's end. Through their stories, Barrett sheds new light on the nature of the psychological damage of war, which for the first time became both widely acknowledged and profoundly controversial through the term "shell shock." Drawing on a wealth of previously unpublished material, Casualty Figures is a moving and original account of the psychological havoc caused by war."

The body turns out to be substantial, the mind falls into a daze, which is particularly useful for making new fascinating thoughts.

How to Train your Scav — a co-op Extract Guide

Hello everyone.

This is a massive post but hopefully gets people to experience what I consider the most amusing thing in Tarkov right now. If you're already having a lot of success co-op extracting, awesome — save your eyes and skip!

I've successfully co-op extracted as a PMC with scavs probably close to 100 times over the past five days. Based on the messages I've received on reddit and from in game after extracts, it seems like a lot of people don't know how to properly go about maximizing your chances of getting a co-op extract. Depending on the map, you should always be able to co-op extract with very little danger, with potentially gamechanging rewards up for grabs for you and your minions. I have extracted with a pscav in all but two of my dozens and dozens of interchange runs in the last week.

Here's the step by step guide:

Part 1: Survive. I can feel everyone rolling their eyes at this obvious piece of advice, but hang on. On Interchange (the easiest map to co-op extract on), a lot of people will instantly rush Killa, tech stores, or mid-mall for Kiba. Reserve — everyone's trying to get bunker raiders or Glukhar or Shturman on Woods. A massive brawl breaks out, and the winner is running for the extract, massively overweight. While this playstyle can work for co-op extracts, it's sub par. Firstly, you may die quickly, and even if you don't, there's 40 minutes left in the raid and you have 60kg on your shoulders and need to leave. You won't be finding any scavs to extract with that way, unless you're happy to stash your 40kg pack somewhere and wander the map after already having all the loot you can carry, just so the pscavs can appear. Depending on my spawn, I'll hit the nearest tech store or loot area and then get out of the 'routes' people run so I minimize my chance for a mishap.

Part 2: Find a friend. The raid timer now reads 20-15 minutes remaining, you've killed one PMC and found a mil cable and a tetriz and some junk. Congratulations. You've already done the hardest part. By this point, extraction is basically assured if you follow the steps. I've only had one extract fail at this point, for reasons I'll explain later. Now it's time to find a guy to drive the car. There's a delicate balance to this. You do not want the player scav to detect you first — most player scavs will justifiably believe every PMC on the map is going to KOS. As a result, they'll either run the second they see you, or they'll stalk you and wait until you're not moving and shoot you for the fence rep/loot.

So, turn off your laser — a laser dot bouncing on the wall will instantly make every pscav assume the worst and act accordingly. Thankfully, most scavs do not spawn in with earpieces, and sprint arond with the suicidal urgency not risking your own gear induces. Assuming you're in the right spot, you'll have no issues finding them before they find you. Do not wait at the extract. I do not know why people say to do this — it hardly ever works. Instead, hang around near (but not IN) high loot locations. I use Adik or Furniture to watch Rasmussen/Kiba and Techlight/Techxo respectively. On woods, I watch Emercon Camp, USEC camp, or the main white building. Reserve, any of the buildings around the heli are best in my experience — don't use the bunker, for reasons explained in the following part. If you don't know how to tell pscavs apart from PMCs — look at the sleeves. Scavs typically wear blue, or red and white. PMCs are in camo, either artic, urban, or forest (with some exceptions). Don't rely on the backpack — they could loot a PMC or spawn with a pilgrim.

Part 3: Handshake. Time to initiate docking procedures. You've seen the scav first. Now comes the other side of the balance — you want him to know you're coming, and you want him to know you know he knows. Keybind cease fire and knives only to your F keys. Sprint to where you know the scav is, but make sure to keep cover. Let him hear you before he sees you — seeing a massive raid pack bouncing towards him will spook him. The worst thing you can do is come around a corner unexpectedly onto a pscav — which is why I don't think the bunker works well. Once they hear your cease fire, the usual routine is both of you guys will jiggle peak each other to confirm nobody is bullshitting before coming out of cover. A lot of pscavs will come out with only their knives, but I don't require this. I'm wearing level 6 and a faceshield, I'm pretty confident in a straight fight with a homeless man. At this point, if you're a cool dude and want to prove it, you can throw him that 1gphone you found. Out of several hundred scavs I've extracted with (multiple at a time), I've had one single time a scav shot at me during the handshake. He died and I found a more amiable scav.

Part 4: Get outta there. No point sticking around. Hoof it to the extract. Depending on the map, AI scavs might get in the way. Stay in front. You do not want your buddy to cross in front of you when you're about to pop an ai scav and lose your extract. Depending on the map, any scav seeing a PMC running with another scav is going to get the hint and fall in immediately. I've extracted with eight scavs before. The extract is only valid once, so if you are running a duo or more, make sure everyone's there, all scavs and PMCs, or your buddy is going to have to do an awkward, potentially lethal walk of shame with the remaining scavs to a normal extract. Make sure to press Y to cooperate with your scavs so they see your name — people message me what loot they get all the time and most of them just want to thank you for being chill.

Part 5: Secure the bag. Fence will message you a care package. It isn't bugged. It just takes forever sometimes, up to 10 minutes. There's clearly some sort of server tick going on in the background, but when and why is beyond me. A lot of people reading this have probably been waiting to ask — is this even worth staying in the raid three times longer than I normally would? Short answer: yes. Long answer: yeeeeeeees.

So far I have gotten both a blue and a green keycard from fence drops — together totalling over 11mil when I sold them on, after taxes (level 3 int center). This fully funded my 25/25 bitcoin farm and solar power and will probably get me most of the way to 50/50. It is definitely worth 15 extra minutes in a raid unless you're a gigachad player just stripping millions off other people and running it back every five minutes.

50% of the time the package is pointless. 48% of the time the fence chucks you some good stuff (nice armor, I've gotten over 100 rounds of m993), worth around 150-250k. And then 2% of the time you get a God drop worth millions or tens of millions. It is absolutely worth it.

Conclusion: So what can go wrong? In my experience, pscavs are ALWAYS willing to do this and are very cool dudes, with very rare exceptions. I've had pscavs throw themselves into a hail of PMC bullets to defend me on the way to extract. The real problem is just that — other PMCs. Not necessarily that they'll kill you, but if they hang around the loot spots instead of leaving the raid, they'll mow down all the pscavs and you'll have nobody to drive the car. This is the only reason an extract fails for me if I get to 20minutes left. If you hear someone camping a loot location, consider either finding somewhere you can intercept a scav before they slam into the murderhobo, or if you have a giant neck, you can go kill the altyn-topped monstrosity and save everyone.

Anyway, that's my giant rambling post. Have fun and make sure to make friends

I Don’t Need Ambassadorial Role To Promote Ghana – Yvonne Nelson

Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson has said she does not need an ambassadorial role to promote her country.

In a wide ranging interview with Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM on Monday, June 15, Yvonne Nelson said whether or not she was a tourism ambassador, she loves Ghana and will use any opportunity to promote her country.

“I have been promoting Ghana in my own small ways. I have a page on Instagram called ‘Travel to Ghana’ where I promote my country. There is GH added to all my social media handles and that should tell anyone how patriotic I am,” she said.

Yvonne has emerged one of the strong voices in the country, speaking out against social ills, politicians and other big issues but when asked if she would like to venture into politics, the Heels and Sneakers actress, who said she is currently pursuing a Masters Degree in International Relations and Diplomacy said not now.

“Maybe in the near future but not now. I can contribute in my own ways without being in politics. I added my voice to the ‘dumsor’ (power crisis) because I was feeling the heat as a Ghanaian and I am happy I caused a change,” she said.

According to her, another reason why she doesn’t want to go into politics is because she does not want to be tagged with a political party.

When Andy Dosty gave a scenario where she had been given a big role by a government and could enjoy all the perks that came with it including a motorcade, Yvonne insisted that was still motivation enough to get her name attached to a political party.

“Titles will not change anything about Yvonne. The whole motorcade thing is scary to me, I had an experience with one and it was terrible. Crossing people here and there was scary, I am a new mother and I need to be there for my child,” she said.

When asked if she belonged to NPP, Yvonne Nelson said she wondered why anyone would think so.

“I have answered this question several times. I have not told Ghanaians I belong to NPP so why would anyone think I belong to NPP? The talks that NPP sponsored my ‘dumsor must stop vigil’ is false,” she stressed.
Yvonne urged her colleague entertainers not to take money from politicians and keep quite on issues that affect the entertainment industry.

Lg hu810pw Review – Smart Cinema

Lg hu810pw Review – Smart Cinema

By Al Griffin

AS THE “Smart TV” has become the norm, projectors in contrast have remained steadfastly dumb. For many home theater enthusiasts, that arrangement has worked out just fine, with streaming, voice control, and other forms of internet-connected interaction handled by front-end components on the A/V rack and the projector serving as little more than a means to display an image. But recent ultra short throw and other “lifestyle” projectors have begun to blur the distinction between smart and dumb by offering some of the high- tech features found in the latest TVs. And now with the arrival of LG’s HU810PW, we have something we haven’t seen here before here at Sound & Vision: a model designed for a traditional ceiling-mount installation that’s loaded with TV-type smart features.

lg hu810pw Review

LG calls the HU810PW a 4K UHD Smart Dual Laser CineBeam Projector. To parse that mouthful, the HU810P is a single-chip (0.47- inch) DLP projector that delivers 4K resolution via pixel-shifting and uses a dual-laser (red, blue, plus green phosphor) light source to beam images with up to a specified 2,700 ANSI lumens brightness. Smart features come courtesy of the same webOS 5.0 interface found in LG’s flat-panel TVs, with the projector offering access to Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Peacock, YouTube, Showtime, Starz, and other streaming apps via a wired or Wi-Fi connection. An HDMI eARC port lets you route audio, including Dolby Atmos soundtracks, directly from the projector to an outboard receiver or surround sound processor, and the HU810PW also has a Bluetooth

lg hu810pw Review

output for a wireless connection to a soundbar.

Along with its 4K display capability, the HU810PW supports the HDR10 and Hybrid Log Gamma high dynamic range formats and is spec’d for 97 percent DCI-P3 color space coverage, though a footnote in LG’s spec sheet claims that this only applies to certain picture modes. The projector lacks a dynamic iris, but does provide Dark Room, Bright Room, and user-adjustable Iris modes, which are aided by an Adaptive Contrast setting that helps to maximize picture contrast depending on room lighting. There’s no user- adjustable HDR tone mapping adjustment similar to the one found in Epson and JVC projectors, though a Dynamic Tone Mapping feature capable of adjusting HDR images on a frame-by-frame basis can be enabled.

The life of the projector’s laser light source is specified for up to 20,000 hours, which translates to nine-plus years of six-hour daily viewing time. It boots up to full brightness within a few seconds after power-up, and shuts down quickly and quietly. Along with Wi-Fi, the HU810PW’s wireless streaming support extends to Apple AirPlay for Mac computers and iOS devices and screen mirroring via Miracast for PCs and Android devices. Voice control is also onboard, with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and LG’s own ThinQ+ assistants all supported.

LG’s cosmetic design for the HU810PW could best be described as “unassuming.” It has a boxy white case, with a dial to manually adjust horizontal/vertical lens position on the right side and knobs to manually adjust zoom and focus at the bottom front beneath the lens. A joystick control to navigate onscreen menus and power the projector on and off is located on the projector’s back panel above the inputs.

The LG’s connections include a pair of HDMI 2.0b inputs plus an HDMI version 2.1 input that supports eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) and ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode). And while HDMI 2.1 on a projector should be great news for gamers, bandwidth for that input is limited to 24Gbps, which is not enough to support 4K/120Hz video output from latest-gen PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X gaming consoles. On the subject of gaming, I measured input lag from a 1080p test signal generator at 80ms in Game mode—a below-average level of performance compared with other projectors.

LG packages the same Magic Remote with the HU810PW that you get with the company’s TVs. This offers “point-and-click” capability where you use the fully backlit handset to drag a cursor around the screen, and then click on items to select them. There are navigation and scroll wheel controls, along with buttons to directly access onscreen menus, picture modes, and a microphone for voice control. Simplink(HDMI-CEC) lets you use the remote to also operate connected devices like a Blu-ray disc player. And if you have an A/V receiver connected to the projector via HDMI eARC, the remote can adjust the AVR’s volume. For someone like myself who regularly uses a “dumb” projector, LG’s Magic Remote—and the busy WebOS 5.0 screen interface—took some getting used to, but I eventually adapted. Unfortunately, many of the streaming apps that I regularly use for viewing like HBO Max, Netflix (Netflix!), and The Criterion Channel were not available for download from LG’s App Store, so I ended up using using an

external Roku Streaming Stick+ for much of my evaluation.

Like many a projector before it, the HU810PW was installed on a high shelf located at a 14-foot distance from a 92-inch diagonal, 1.1 gain Stewart Filmscreen Cima screen in my

lg hu810pw Review

home theater room. The projector’s 1.6x zoom allowed me to easily adjust image size to fill the screen from that distance, while its 60 percent vertical, 24 percent horizontal lens shift adjustments helped to precisely center the image. The manual focus control meant repeated trips between projector and screen were necessary to evaluate image crispness after making fine adjustments, but I was able to eventually dial the focus in perfectly.

Most of the LG’s picture presets had a pronounced blue bias that made white tones look overly cool. That list included Filmmaker mode, a setting that otherwise eliminates image processing such as motion enhancement. The most accurate preset I measured was Bright Room (Expert), which proved close enough that I would recommend it for most viewers. As a starting point for my adjustment, I instead ended up using Dark Room (Expert), a mode that required substantial calibration to whip into proper

Test Bench

FULL-ON/FULL-OFF CONTRAST RATIO: 3,225:1 The measurements here were made using Caiman measurement software from Portrait Displays (www. portrait.com), together with a Photo Research PR- 650 color meter, Minolta LS-100 luminance meter and a Murideo/AVPro (Fresco Six-G) test pattern generator.

Pre-calibration measurements were made with the LG HU810PW’s Expert (Dark Room) picture mode active. Postcalibration measurements were made in the same mode. All measurements were made with the projector positioned at a 14- foot distance from a 92-inch diagonal, 1.1 gain Stewart Filmscreen Cima screen.

The projector’s maximum full-on/full-off SDR contrast ratio was achieved with the Expert (Dark Room) Picture, Minumum Energy Saving, Dark Room Iris, Low Black Level, High Dynamic Contrast, and Adaptive Contrast settings active, with Contrast at 80 and Brightness at 50. With this combination, black measured 0.006 ft-L and peak white 19.35 ft-L for a contrast ratio of 3,225:1. With the Iris set to Medium, contrast ratio with the other settings listed above was 2,415:1.

Before calibration, the default color temperature preset in Expert (Dark Room) Picture mode displayed a significant red/blue bias. The Delta E averaged 18.85, with a low of 7.4 at 10 IRE and a high of 24.4 at 100 IRE. After calibration, the average Delta E improved dramatically to 1.3 with a high of 1.8 at 100 percent brightness. (Delta E is a figure of merit indicating how close the color comes to the standards, either D65 for the white point or the color coordinates for each of the primary and secondary colors that define the color gamut under test. Values below 3 are generally unnoticeable.)

With the default settings active in Expert (Dark Room) Picture mode, the Delta E of the HU810PW’s measured color points averaged out to 8.5.

Using the projector’s color management system adjustments, I was able to improve color point accuracy to an average Delta E of 2.4, with a high of 3.2 for blue. Coverage of the DCI-P3 color gamut in Expert (Dark Room) mode topped out at 87.3 percent.

Post-calibration, gamma closely tracked a 2.2 target for most of the range with the BT.1886 Gamma preset selected. With the HDR Cinema Home preset mode active, peak white output measured 110 nits +/- 5 nits regardless of the size of the measured white window. Picture uniformity was excellent: white fullfield test patterns showed minimal brightness drops between the center and edges of the projection screen, and no color shifts. Our suite of video processing tests revealed excellent all-around performance.

Fan noise is very low. LG specs it at 28dB for Minimum Energy Saving, and I only measured a 2dB difference between the Minimum and Maximum modes.

shape (see Test Bench). Similar to LG’s HU85LA ultra short throw model Sound & Vision’s Kris Deering tested in late 2019, the HU810PW offers 2-, 10-, and 22-point white balance adjustments—a unique feature for a projector. Starting out with 2-point adjustment, and then switching to 22-point for more granular tweaking, I was able to dial in a near-perfect grayscale, while the color management system controls let me make substantive improvements to color point accuracy.

A fully different set of picture presets is available for viewing programs with HDR. I opted for the Cinema Home mode, which delivered a maximum light output in the 110 nits (32 footlamberts) range. (A preset labeled Brightest unsurprisingly delivered the LG’s maximum measured light output at 307 nits, though the LG’s grayscale skewed green with that one selected.) There are multiple settings that affect picture contrast for both standard and high dynamic range viewing, including Energy Saving, Iris, Black Level, Dynamic Contrast, Adaptive Contrast, and Brightness Optimizer settings. As detailed in the Test Bench section, various combinations

of these resulted in a maximum 3,225:1 contrast ratio—about twice as high as what we’ve measured on other 4K DLP- based projectors. Some of the settings crush highlight detail in images when applied, however, so you’ll need to experiment to find an appropriate mix for your viewing environment, screen, and taste. For my own HDR viewing, I set Energy Saving to Minimum, Iris to User Mode (6), Adaptive Contrast to Medium, and Dynamic Contrast to Low.

To check out the projector’s performance with regular high- definition programs, I streamed The Knick on HBO Max. This series, which originally aired on Cinemax in 2014-2015 and is directed by Steven Soderbergh, takes place in a struggling hospital in early 1900s Manhattan. The set decoration and costumes are both meticulously detailed, and so are the early apparatuses depicted from this embryonic period of modern medical exploration. The crisp whites of the surgical gowns in each episode came across with satisfying brightness and highlight detail. Darker scenes, such as those that take place in the Chinatown opium den where brilliant yet troubled chief surgeon John Thackery spends much of his downtime also displayed impressive

depth. Skintones of the cast looked natural, and with the LG handling 4K upconversion, the consistently crisp picture allowed for fine details in the ornate drawing and dining rooms of the hospital’s wealthy benefactors to emerge clearly. (As an HBO Max subscriber since its May 2020 launch, I can attest that streaming quality of the service has greatly improved since I first used it to rewatch GoT during the early lockdown days.)

For my 4K/HDR evaluation, I used a mix of personal reference movie discs on Ultra HD Blu-ray and streamed shows on Amazon Prime and Netflix. Starting out with 2001: A Space Odyssey, the cave scene where pre-hominids huddle displayed good black depth and impressive detail in the fur of the creatures. Shadows lacked the level of black extension I’ve noted on projectors that use a dynamic iris, but the performance here was a definite notch above other DLP models I’ve recently had in-house.

The mostly monochrome 2018 Chinese film Shadow offers a good example of how high dynamic range can enhance black-and- white images. LG’s projector presented a wide range of creamy gray tones in scenes that take place in the king of Pei’s court, and I didn’t note any color tinting that wasn’t originally part of the movie’s post-production special effects. Blacks in Shadow looked consistently solid, and image highlights also had a satisfying level of punch. It was on this film in particular that I noticed how some of the HU810PW’s contrast enhancement features could easily cause HDR highlight detail to appear washed out, but once I hit upon the right mix of adjustments (listed above in the Setup section), the picture had a punchy, yet balanced look.

Of the LG’s built-in apps that I checked out, both Amazon Prime and YouTube programs could be displayed in 4K/HDR, with Amazon also providing Dolby Atmos soundtracks. Watching the Amazon Prime series ZeroZeroZero, I noted rich color and excellent detail in shots of a tanker ship crossing the Atlantic ocean. And in a later scene where a paramilitary squad descends onto the tanker from a helicopter, the ship’s floodlights and the spotlights on the soldiers’ rifles contrasted powerfully with the dark background of the night sky. A subsequent scene in Mexico where the same squad ambushes a drug dealer’s entourage in an SUV showed similarly strong contrast as vehicle headlights flashed in a darkened tunnel.

I took advantage of the LG’s arrival to bust out my copy of the Midsommar Director’s Cut: Collector’s Edition on Ultra HD Blu-ray disc. Shot with 8K and 5K cameras and mastered at 4K resolution, director Ari Aster’s 2019 movie initially only received a Blu-ray release—a big disappointment. (While that disc looked good overall, it didn’t nearly match up with my visual memory of what I saw in the theater.) Watching the Ultra HD Blu-ray version on the LG, the play of sunlight on the Swedish commune’s rural retreat had a wonderfully natural look, and the white clothing worn by the residents displayed extremely fine tonal gradations. Color in particular corre- sponded with my theatrical experience, with the flowers worn by the May queen during a ceremonial feast literally bursting with vivid hues.

With the HU810PW, LG has delivered a DLP projector offering impressive performance that’s also reasonably priced for a 4K model with a laser light source. Getting pictures to look their best required a fair amount of work, but once I had the settings dialed in, I was very happy with what I was seeing with both regular HD and 4K/HDR sources. For some viewers, the HU810PW’s streaming and voice control features likely won’t matter, but once you do get used to the projector’s Smart TV interface, it’s easy to navigate. LG may be a company closely associated with OLED TVs, but the HU810PW confirms it can also make projectors that will satisfy the demanding home theater enthusiast crowd.

The Verdict

LG’s 4K laser DLP projector is packed with smart features and offers impressive all-around performance at a reasonable price.

Construction site accident lawyer looks at 2nd Avenue Subway worker injury

Construction site accident lawyer looks at 2nd Avenue Subway worker injury

There’s a massive ongoing construction project under Manhattan’s 2nd Avenue on a subway line that will be ready for public usage in phases; the first phase opening is slated for 2016.

With the construction of this subway line also comes the possibility of worker injuries. One recent example was a construction worker who was apparently injured when operating a hose for pouring concrete. The hose was swinging out of control and struck him in the leg, badly injuring him. As reported in an article on the incident, the construction worker recalls the following:

“When I woke, I had no control of my body, I was covered in concrete and had blood oozing from back of my head…”

In recent years, the subway construction project has already received over 18 safety violations. In regards to the hose used to pour concrete, one possible violation is the use of a flex hose for this particular task, which appears to be a decision that put workers in needless danger.

Construction workers in subways face a number of risks, including falls, getting trapped under equipment, and various equipment malfunctions that could lead to injuries or death.

Furthermore, because they are deep under the ground, it could take longer for rescue workers to reach them when they need to be hospitalized or otherwise receive emergency medical care.

After any such accident, it’s important to contact an experienced construction site accident lawyer to discuss what happened and receive legal support and assistance. Your attorney can help you determine if the accident was at all preventable, the result of work conditions that weren’t sufficiently safe. Given the possible devastation that could result from such accidents, including lifelong disabilities, you need legal representation so as not to struggle alone with the burden and the costs.

weehki-kaloosioni: wilaalaansanto ‘New Word: Color It!’

We recently helped the Cultural Resources Office (CRO) of the Miami Tribe with the creation of a new word for ‘color it’: wilaalaansanto. This word is going to be used in a new children’s coloring book that the CRO will publish later this year. We created wilaalaansanto because in the time period before our language went to sleep, we didn’t color things in the same way that we do now, with markers and crayons on pieces of paper. In this earlier period, words that describe the process of adding pigment (coloring) are specific to both the coloring surface – animal hide, clay pot, tree, or the human body – and the type of pigment – wood ash, vermillion ochre, other minerals, charcoal, or plant material. Because there were specific reasons for coloring things, our language reflected this by being specific. As a result, we had to create a more general term that we can use for many different circumstances when we color things today. The dictionary link has other coloring phrases you can use so be sure to check it out!

The soon to be released coloring book features a special friend: anikwa. As a result, anikwa is making an appearance at this year’s Eugene Brown Memorial Art Show hosted by the Myaamia Heritage Museum and Archive. Any child who would like to contribute to the show can download and color our anikwa coloring page. If you have any questions about the Eugene Brown Memorial Art Show or coloring page contributions, you can contact Meghan Dorey at mdorey@miamination.com.

210 North 1950 West

Salt Lake City, UT 84134

(801) 297-2200

(800) 662-4335 (in state)

Utah allows you to use the federal form W4 to calculate state income tax withholding.

Not all states allow salary reductions made under Section 125 cafeteria plans or 401(k) to be treated in the same manner as the IRS code allows. In Utah cafeteria plans are not taxable for income tax calculation; not taxable for unemployment insurance purposes. 401(k) plan deferrals are not taxable for income taxes; taxable for unemployment purposes.

In Utah supplemental wages are required to be aggregated for the state income tax withholding calculation.

You must file your Utah State W-2s by magnetic media if you are required to file your federal W-2s by magnetic media.

The Utah State Unemployment Insurance Agency is:

Department of Workforce Services

140 E. 300 South

P.O. Box 45288

Salt Lake City, UT 84145

(801) 536-7400

The State of Utah taxable wage base for unemployment purposes is wages up to $22,700.00.

Utah requires Magnetic media reporting of quarterly wage reporting if the employer has at least 250 employees that they are reporting that quarter.

Unemployment records must be retained in Utah for a minimum period of three years. This information generally includes: name; social security number; dates of hire, rehire and termination; wages by period; payroll pay periods and pay dates; date and circumstances of termination.

The Utah State Agency charged with enforcing the state wage and hour laws is:

Labor Commission

Anti-Discrimination and Labor Division

P.O. Box 146630

Salt Lake City, UT 84114-6630

(801) 530-6801

The minimum wage in Utah is $5.15 per hour.

There is no general provision in Utah State Law covering paying overtime in a non-FLSA covered employer.

Utah State new hire reporting requirements are that every employer must report every new hire and rehire. The employer must report the federally required elements of:

  • Employee’s name
  • Employee’s address
  • Employee’s social security number
  • Employer’s name
  • Employers address
  • Employer’s Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN)

This information must be reported within 20 days of the hiring or rehiring.

The information can be sent as a W4 or equivalent by mail, fax or mag media.

There is a $25.00 penalty for a late report and $500 for conspiracy in Utah.

The Utah new hire-reporting agency can be reached at 801-526-4361 or on the web at

Utah does not allow compulsory direct deposit except for large employers with 2/3 of employees already on direct deposit.

Utah requires the following information on an employee’s pay stub:

  • itemized deductions
  • Utah requires that employee be paid no less often than semimonthly; monthly if employee hired for yearly salary.

    Utah requires that the lag time between the end of the pay period and the payment of wages to the employee not exceed ten days; wages paid monthly—7th of next month.

    Utah payroll law requires that involuntarily terminated employees must be paid their final pay with in 24 hours and that voluntarily terminated employees must be paid their final pay by the next regular payday.

    Deceased employee’s wages must be paid when normally due to successor after affidavit stating estate does not exceed $25,000 at least 30 days since death, no petition for executor is pending, and entitlement to payment.

    Escheat laws in Utah require that unclaimed wages be paid over to the state after one year.

    The employer is further required in Utah to keep a record of the wages abandoned and turned over to the state for a period of 5 years.

    Utah payroll law mandates no more than $3.02 may be used as a tip credit.

    In Utah the payroll laws covering mandatory rest or meal breaks are only that all employees must have a 30-minute meal period after 5 hours; 10 minutes rest each 4 hours.

    Utah statute requires that wage and hour records be kept for a period of not less than three years. These records will normally consist of at least the information required under FLSA.

    The Utah agency charged with enforcing Child Support Orders and laws is:

    Office of Recovery Services

    Department of Human Services

    515 E. 100 S.

The Effectiveness of Breathing Techniques in Improving Athletes' Mindsets and Resilience to Failure

by :
Ellie J.

A large part of whether an athlete can succeed in high school and beyond is how they respond to and view failure and errors made while playing in a game, such as a missed shot or turnover in basketball. Game time situations, meaning events that take place during time-sensitive moments while facing an opponent in an official match, can be stressful. This stress can lead athletes to browbeat and question themselves, making them more susceptible to simple mistakes and less likely to take risks, hindering their overall performance (Santas, 2015). By being able to refocus their actions positively, they will be able to see their mistakes as learning experiences. They are able to accomplish this with methods like talking kindly to themselves and taking deep breaths (Puff, 2017). This hypothetically enables them to rebound in a positive way, leading them to look to the next play to improve, like working extra hard on defense or taking more shots when open. This project will examine how the application of some of these techniques, specifically breathing techniques, changes athletes' mindsets in a positive way and coutneracts the negative effects of game time stress.

We're back!!!!!!!!!!

Bet you all thought I had fallen off the face of the earth LOL. The last couple of months have been taken up with the pigeons. Between training, club racing and running our own races, then going out and doing demo's with the Benzing ets it has been a busy time. Usually only get to Belfast once a year for the champ show, but we have been over quite a few times in the last couple of months and even managed to fit in a couple of nights in Dublin as well.
Below is a picture of my car with the training trailler that I take the pigeons in and the view I get from the liberation sites we use for our own races.

Meet Drop Dead Gorgeous (DDG) George , he was a gift from a local pigeon fancier and is a yellow pied born this year.

Pictures, pictures and more

Haven't been to many shows due to Hatty (mum) and Indy (dad) having had pups, Ayla losing her coat, and Daisy just isn't old enough. I'll just post some pictures for you all to have a look at and then I can get back to doing what I do best, blethering LOL

Meet her pups, Jessica black & white Papillon girl, Jenni red sable & white Phalene girl and last but not least Cap'n Jack (bit of a rogue he is) black & white (possible tri) Phalene boy.

Jessica and Jenni will stay with me, but because of Jack's head markings he will probably be looking for a family home as a companion.

Above are a couple of snapshots of Daisy (Serenglade Drivin Miz Daisy) who will be going to Belfast champ show with Indy for the day. This little girl went down a storm with the local pigeon men who take time out when visiting to say hello to all the dogs. But Daisy with her outgoing and in your face attitude to life has made an impression. LOL

SF General Hospital starts giving extra vaccines to J&J recipients, why some couldn't get the shot

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- It's not authorized or recommended by the CDC, but on Thursday Zuckerberg San Francisco General started giving supplemental Pfizer or Moderna shots to people who received the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

This came three days after ABC7 broke the news that the hospital, along with San Francisco's Department of Public Health, would offer a mRNA shot to those who got the single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine. The hospital's chief of emergency medicine later defended the decision, after the White House, CDC, and FDA all responded to the news by saying boosters and extra doses are not part of the emergency use authorization (EUA).

RELATED: SF General Hospital to give supplemental mRNA vaccine to people who got J&J shot

Throughout the day Thursday, a line of people waited under a tent on the hospital's property to get COVID vaccines.

"In the line that I was in, there was about 50 people. I think everybody there was Johnson and Johnson," said ABC7 multimedia producer, Juan Carlos Guerrero, who got the Johnson & Johnson shot in April. He now also has a Pfizer shot.

Kate Larsen: "Did anyone at the hospital counsel you that this extra shot is not part of the emergency use authorization and not officially recommended?"

Juan Carlos Guerrero: "No, nobody said that. They simply asked why we were there and which one we wanted, Pfizer or Moderna."

Guerrero explained the reason he chose to get the extra mRNA dose. "I saw on the news that Germany was doing it and Israel was doing it. I figured if those other entire countries are doing this, then San Francisco is offering us something similar."

EMBED More News Videos

A San Francisco doctor is defending his decision to offer booster shots to those who initially received the Johnson and Johnson vaccine.

Guerrero got to SFGH at 8 a.m., and despite being a Kaiser patient, was able to get the supplemental dose. People who arrived in the afternoon were not so lucky.

"I parked and walked in and they said they were already out," said Josh, a San Francisco resident who suffers from asthma and was hoping for an immune boost.

"They said they had already given a thousand shots this morning and that they were prioritizing SF General patients and I'm a UCSF patient, so wasn't able to get the shot," explained San Francisco resident, Magali Arons.

Arons hopes she can come back another day. "I have unvaccinated kids that I live with and I want to make sure I'm protecting my family as much as I can."

VACCINE TRACKER: Here's how CA is doing, when you can get a coronavirus vaccine

While they're not formally recommending the extra dose in accordance with the CDC, San Francisco's Department of Public Health tells ABC7 that all of their vaccine sites are now offering a Pfizer or Moderna shot to Johnson & Johnson recipients.

Despite multiple requests for more information, by publishing time, the SFDPH and SFGH had not specified when and where people can show up for the extra dose to ensure there's adequate supply.

Some people without appointments were turned away.

The CDC has not recommend additional doses or booster shots.

However, San Francisco's Department of Public Health and the hospital decided to allow the supplemental vaccines.

You can read their full statement here:
"The San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) continues to align with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance and does not recommend a booster shot at this time. We will continue to review any new data and adjust our guidance, if necessary. All SFDPH vaccination sites are currently accommodating special requests from individuals who have received the Janssen (Johnson & Johnson; J&J) viral vector COVID-19 vaccine and in many cases have consulted with their doctor and wish to receive a supplemental dose with an mRNA vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna). There is no current contraindication to providing a supplemental dose of a mRNA vaccine, and the mRNA vaccines have an excellent safety record. This does not represent a change in policy for SFDPH, nor has SFDPH explicitly made this a recommendation. Rather this is an operational response to accommodate an infrequent but present concern identified by some patients. All three COVID-19 vaccines are extraordinarily effective, making hospitalizations and death nearly entirely preventable."
