The indicator set component is used to create the data model and view models for any forms needed on your community. While some systems use the same data model for all forms (hiding and changing the labels for fields), BetterData allows you to create a unique data model for each form that you need. This gives you more flexibility when it comes to using that data to generate reports.
The data model is determined by the fields that you need on a form. However, it can also include fields that are calculated, populated by an external application or auto-populated from data elsewhere in the community. Once configured an indicator set can be used in one or more Apps on your community. Indicator sets are accessible both via a web browser and on the Android app.
The labels, help text and validations for each field can be defined in multiple languages. BetterData will detect the language settings of your browser and only display the form in the matching language (if available). This enables you to translate forms (at once or over time) to be in multiple languages simultaneously.
Each indicator set can have one or more form views. The form view is used to enter or edit data. Each form view can include the following elements:
Widgets define the functionality for each field on the form. Some of the widgets available include:
- Date or time
- Repeat structure
- Calculated fields
- Radio buttons
Each widget can also have validations defined. These determine which data can be entered. Fields can initially be defined as required or optional, with a validation error message specified to guide users as to the response needed. If defined as required then the following additional validations can also be set:
- Equal to
- Greater than equal to
- Less than equal to
- Minimum number of characters
- Maximum number of characters
- Must be an email address
- Must be a number
- Must be a date
Permissions define which which user roles are able to view, edit or delete the form and it's data. Roles are defined in the application component and will appear in each form as they are modified.
Form views may also reference the following other components:
- Linkages - This allows users to link two forms and specify the relationship between them
- Comments - This allows users to add comments
- Taxonomies - This allows users to select tags from a pre-defined taxonomy and add them to the form
- Duplicate - This component introduces a duplicate check that prompts users to search and check for duplicate forms based on a pre-specified key (like the title field, ID field, email address or similar)
- Mailbox - This component links to the mailing engine, enabling users to contribute new form data via email and receive updates the same way. Similar integrations are possible (for simple forms) via SMS
Rules determine what happens once a form is created or updated. Some examples of the options here are:
- Initiate a workflow - This triggers a workflow that the form is linked to
- Create an app profile - This takes the data from the form and uses it to create an app profile
- Network linkage - If the form is used to create a new profile, this rule can also then assign one or more users specified on the form to be the owner or member of that profile
Each indicator set can also have one or more views. This typically include an object view that shows the data saved on the form in a read only view. The object view uses the same elements as the form view, but they made be arranged in a different way.
The object view is also configureable to define which options are visible and to which user role. For example:
- Who can edit the form object?
- Who can delete it?
- Who can create a linkage?
Users also have the option to save a link to the object to their personal library. This helps people to create their own collections of relevant content.
Following are some screenshots of the indicator set component.

Model Administrative Rules (MARS) and Search LogicUCC, Online UCC System, Revised Article 9
Following up on our post from earlier this week, What are "Standard Search Logic" and the Model Administrative Rules?, here's a behind-the-scenes look at how we created an online UCC search system that follows MARS guidelines.
An FCS online search report is intended to satisfy the requirements under the UCC Revised Article 9 Model Administrative Rules (MARS), which provide state filing offices with a set of guidelines for producing a legally compliant UCC lien search report. The FCS Online Search System was designed to satisfy the requirements under MARS while providing the searcher with increased flexibility.
Flexible search logic generates a more inclusive search report and addresses the inconsistencies in searches performed within states that did not effectively adopt the MARS guidelines. Further, these specially designed broad-based searching features aid in locating involuntary liens such as Federal and State Tax Liens, Judgment Liens and liens that may not be located in state databases limited to the MARS guidelines for the reporting of UCCs.
We recommend that users structure their search strings so possible variations of the name including abbreviations, alternate spellings and initials may be located. A successful search begins before the name is ever keyed into the system by considering what possible variations may exist and then using the proper search string to locate those name variations.
From the International Association of Commercial Administrators
T503 Search methodology – Search results are produced by the application of search logic to the name presented to the filing officer. Human judgment does not play a role in determining the results of the search.
503.1 Standard search logic – The following rules describe the filing office's standard search logic and apply to all searches except for those where the search request specifies that a non-standard search logic be used:
- 503.1.1 There is no limit to the number of matches that may be returned in response to the search criteria.
- 503.1.2 No distinction is made between upper and lower case letters.
- 503.1.3 The character "&" (the ampersand) is deleted and replaced with the characters "and" each place it appears in the name.
- 503.1.4 Punctuation marks and accents are disregarded. For the purposes of this rule, punctuation and accents include all characters other than the numerals 0 through 9 and the letters A through Z (in any case) of the English alphabet.
- 503.1.5 The following words and abbreviations at the end of an organization name that indicate the existence or nature of the organization are "disregarded" to the extent practicable as determined by the filing office's programming of its UCC information management system:
- 503.1.6 The word "the" at the beginning of an organization debtor name is disregarded.
- 503.1.7 All spaces are disregarded.
- 503.1.8 For first and middle names of individual debtor names, initials are treated as the logical equivalent of all names that begin with such initials, and first name and no middle name or initial is equated with all middle names and initials. For example, a search request for "John A. Smith" would cause the search to retrieve all filings against all individual debtors with "John" or the initial "J" as the first name, "Smith" as the last name, and with the initial "A" or any name beginning with "A" in the middle name field. If the search request were for "John Smith" (first and last names with no designation in the middle name field), the search would retrieve all filings against individual debtors with "John" or the initial J as the first name, "Smith" as the last name and with any name or initial or no name or initial in the middle name field.
- 503.1.9 If the name being searched is the last name of an individual debtor name without any first or middle name provided, the search will retrieve from the UCC information management system all financing statements with individual debtor names that consist of only the last name.
- 503.1.10 After using the preceding rules to modify the name being searched, the search will retrieve from the UCC information management system all Unlapsed Records, or, if requested by the searcher, all Active Records, that pertain to financing statements with debtor names that, after being as provided in this rule 503, exactly match the modified name being searched.

The Pennsylvania State University College of Medicine (Penn State) in Hershey, Pa., redesigned its programs to increase the number of generalist graduates and the number of residents entering primary care practice.
This project was part of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's (RWJF) Generalist Physician Initiative, a national program that challenged schools of medicine to increase the supply of general internists, general pediatricians and family practitioners that they were training.
Under the Generalist Physician Initiative, Penn State accomplished the following:
- Established the Center for Primary Care.
- Established a statewide promotional campaign—the Penn State Primary Care Partnership.
- Implemented a tracking system to provide information on the career decisions of students, graduates and residents.
- Developed a Primary Care Pre-Admission Program to identify and recruit promising high school and undergraduate students.
- Developed a Primary Care Early Acceptance and Admissions Program to selectively admit students who seek to pursue primary care careers.
- Restructured the medical school curricula to emphasize more interdisciplinary, coordinated primary care courses.
- Emphasized and refocused the importance of primary care in the residency program.
- Established 12 community practice sites and trained some 350 preceptors to work with medical students and residents.

Capital allowances is a tax relief that allows businesses to offset the cost of certain expenditure against its taxable profits. It has been eroded by previous governments offering little scope for residential investors.
But the boom in domestic holidays in 2020 predicted to continue into 2021 has seen a renewed interest in furnished holiday lets. Property investors, and sometimes their advisers, often wrongly assume capital allowances are not available in respect of such properties due to them often being managed much like normal residential dwellings.
The capital allowances regime has the potential to offer investors in holiday lets considerable tax savings but certain criteria must be met to qualify.
Firstly, a property must qualify as a furnished holiday let. This means that it must be furnished for occupation, and meet the following three qualifying tests during a 12-month period or a tax year:
- The availability condition (availability test/threshold) – during the tax year the accommodation was available for commercial letting as holiday accommodation to the public for at least 210 days.
- The letting condition (occupancy test/threshold) – during the tax year the accommodation was commercially let as holiday accommodation to the public for at least 105 days.
- The pattern of occupation condition – the accommodation was not let for periods of longer-term occupation for more than 155 days during the year. Longer term occupation is letting that exceeds 31 days.

Honda CR-V is top SUV in major economy test
Influential British motoring consumer magazine What Car? has compiled a list of the most economical SUVs in its rigorous 'True MPG' Road Tests, and the most fuel efficient SUV which it has tested has been the Honda CR-V 1.6 i-DTEC diesel, returning 5.0l/100km (56.5mpg ).
This is the second win for Honda in the tests, with the Honda Civic recently being named the most economical car tested by the magazine last year overall.
The unique fuel economy tests conducted by What Car? are unlike the official government figures in that they are generated from real-world driving. Official fuel consumption figures are generated in laboratories which do not consider the impact of traffic, weather, and other real-world factors which can influence fuel consumption.
Where the What Car? tests differ is that they employ similar scientific techniques for measuring economy, but do so on the open road and in real, everyday driving conditions.
The What Car? test begins with an urban route at speeds below 25km/h, before continuing to an extra-urban route, including dual-carriageway and motorway driving, and concluding with a final urban route. At the end of the test, the average fuel consumption on the test route is calculated from the measured CO2 emissions.
However, the volume of traffic inevitably varies, so this economy figure is just a starting point. Sensors attached to the car's electronic systems record the road speed, exhaust manifold pressure and throttle position throughout the test, while other equipment measures the altitude, humidity and air pressure at each given moment. These variables are factored in before calculating a car's true fuel economy.
Under the What Car? tests, the CR-V 1.6 i-DTEC returned the highest real-world economy figure of any SUV tested, with a winning result of 5.0l/100km, the equivalent of 56.5mpg.
Emmet Kavanagh, marketing manager at Universal Honda, told the Advertiser: "We're delighted that CR-V has become the latest Honda model to top the What Car? economy tests as they confirm our new 1.6 i-DTEC diesel engine is a real-world leader in fuel economy.
"To have topped such a stringent test from such an influential publication is a very important accolade for us. While the CR-V already leads the class on official figures, it's the results from real-world driving where the CR-V is a true winner."
The Honda CR-V 1.6 i-DTEC offers a class-leading combination of fuel economy and performance – offering a powerful 120PS, while emitting only 119g/km of CO2 for annual road tax from €200. The engine is the first to be launched in Europe under Honda's flagship 'Earth Dreams Technology' environmental programme, offering customers what it describes as an outstanding balance of high fuel economy, low emissions and dynamic performance.
The Honda CR-V range starts from €31,995.

The difference is so small that people don't give too much care about which should be used. Also the use of each word is defined by been formal or informal (in some places)
- Acordar -> Agreement between two or more parts.
- Acordar -> Used instead of recordar / "no me puedo acordar donde puse
There is also a new variant to these two used in some places
- Re-acordar -> Start to remember something again.
If used on the sense of "remembering" like in ¿oye, te acuerdas de esa película?, The question implies that both persons where together watching the movie, while ¿oye, recuerdas esa película? the person could had seen the movie at a different time (not with the person that ask the question). Although This is not a rule, and may not be correct in all countries.
Without been an expert I will say that personally, I will use one instead on the other depending on the case (formal or informal).
To answer your question correctly I will say that the use depends quite a lot on the region/country and unfortunately there in no rule that can be successfully applied to all countries (since the use of the word or meaning given in some countries may differ from the sense or meaning of the word given by others in other countries).

Information Workers in the Academy: The Case of Librarians and Archivists at The University of Western Ontario
Ephemera: Theory & Politics in Organization
For much of its history, the organizational culture for academic librarians and archivists at The University of Western Ontario was primarily a culture of the practitioner. While librarians and archivists supported teaching, research and service at Western, they did not directly engage in it. As a result of grassroots efforts undertaken by members of Western's academic community in the mid-2000s however, the potential contributions of information workers to the teaching, research and service mandate of University began to garner recognition. Born out of this collective awakening, a successful union drive and shortly thereafter an inaugural Collective Agreement for The University of Western Ontario Faculty Association; Librarians and Archivists (UWOFA-LA). The following contribution describes the shift in organizational culture that is currently underway for the academic community at The University of Western Ontario, and for its information workers in particular. The nature of academic librarians and archivists' digital labour is also examined here.

The Battle River Watershed
The Battle River Watershed is a large area of land covering most of east-central Alberta that drains into the Battle River. The Battle River itself is a modest prairie-fed (as opposed to glacier-fed) river. There is increasing pressure on the Battle River's water supply.
A watershed (or basin) is the area of land that catches snow and rain and drains it to a larger body of water, such as a marsh, lake, stream or river. Topography defines the entire watershed, as it shapes the course and speed of water moving through the area.
The Battle Watershed covers approximately 30,000 square kilometres (17,667 square miles). 83% of this area is within Alberta; the remainder is in Saskatchewan.
Read our Frequently Asked Questions to learn more about the watershed!
There are seven major river basins (watersheds) in Alberta: the Peace/Slave, Athabasca, Hay, North Saskatchewan, South Saskatchewan, Beaver and Milk.
The Battle River Watershed is a sub-basin of the North Saskatchewan Watershed.
The North Saskatchewan River Basin covers about 80,000 square km of the province. Major centers within the basin include Rocky Mountain House, Edmonton, and Fort Saskatchewan. The basin begins in the icefields of Banff and Jasper National Parks and generally flows in an easterly direction towards the Alberta-Saskatchewan border. The Brazeau, Nordegg, Ram, Clearwater, Sturgeon and Vermillion Rivers all flow into the North Saskatchewan River. The Battle River also forms part of the basin and joins with the North Saskatchewan River at North Battleford, Saskatchewan.

Difference Between Flours
The difference between plain and self-raising flour
Have you ever thought what is the difference between plain flour and self-raising flour?
As flour is an integral part of the baking process, we think it is very important to get right.
Plain flour, also known as all-purpose flour, has about 75% of the wheat grain, with most of the bran and wheat germ taken out. Commonly used for cakes, pastries and biscuits. This can also be accompanied with a rising agent, like baking powder and bicarbonate of soda to help with the rising process.
Self-raising flour however has a rising agent, and can contain salt, which has already been added. Whereas the plain requires these rising agents to added separately to make the cakes rise.
So, can you switch plain flour for self-raising flour within a recipe?
Unfortunately, you should not really switch the two, as it is important to remember that these two different ingredients are not interchangeable and you should use the flour the recipe states.
How much raising agent is actually in self-raising flour?
As self-raising flour is still just plain flour which had had the rising agents added to it, the amount of rising agent is the same as half a teaspoon of baking powder per 100g of plain flour.
We use self-raising flour within our cake just to ensure that each cake mix contains the perfect mix of flour and rising agents. To make sure that all Sponges rise perfectly! Our self-raising wheat flour contains sodium bicarbonate in order for the Sponges to rise!
We need all our sponges to contain the same quantity of rising agents, for them to rise the right amount. This is why we use self-raising flour that already has the rising agents within the flour, for it to remain consistent.
Gluten Free Flours
To make our extraordinary Gluten Free Sponge Cakes we use special Gluten Free Self-raising flour, which is made out of rice, potato, tapioca, maize and buckwheat. For our Gluten Free Sponges, we use self-raising flour as well to ensure that they rise as well as our regular sponges.
We use high quality self-raising flour within all of our cakes to ensure they cook to our high standards. As well as all British ingredients, and supporting other British companies.
As for our Vegan Sponges we use the same Self raising flour as for our normal sponge cake recipes but using soya the plant based milk.
What's the difference between flour and corn flour?
All-purpose flour (or plain flour) has a slightly finer texture than corn flour. Corn flour can be coarser, and it behaves differently than all-purpose flour, as it is more absorbent. You can use corn flour in baking (it could be a great alternative for a gluten free bake, as it's naturally gluten-free), but you need to approach it with some knowledge about how it works. You'll need to increase the amount of liquid in a recipe, such as milk or water, to compensate for the absorbency. This will help reduce the risk that your baked item will be dry or dense.
Another pro for cornflour is that it's lighter and sweeter, so it provides a different flavour profile and texture to all-purpose flour. So, it could be one to consider when you're looking for an alternative flour.
What's the difference between cornstarch and corn flour?
So, let's start with the obvious, most people don't really know the difference between the two because they both do derive from corn. The key differences are in their nutrient profiles and uses. Cornstarch (as in its name) is a 'starchy' gluten free flour, whereas corn flour is a 'protein' gluten free flour.
Typically, cornstarch is a very fine white powder, that has a chalky appearance, and is more often used as a thickening agent to thicken sauces like roux's and custard. It's obtained by extracting the starch from the endosperm of the corn kernel.
Corn flour, however, is made using the entirety of dried corn kernels, and they are processed into a fine powder. It contains fibre, protein, and a small amount of fat, as well as the starch. This can be used for a variety of cooking recipes, and as mentioned above can be used as a gluten-free alternative to other standard flours.
Check the date!
Make sure when you are baking yourself at home, that you check the expiration date of the flour which you are using especially when you are using self-raising flour. If your self-raising flour is out of date then your sponge may not rise properly! As it is know that plain flour has a generally longer self-life than self raising flour, due to the fact it does not have rising agents which expire.
We get through so much self-raising flour, there is not an issue with making sure that we use it up in time, therefore we prefer to use self-raising flour.

Trace gas and particle emissions from domestic and industrial biofuel use and garbage burning in central Mexico
Christian, T. J.; Yokelson, R. J.; Cardenas, B.; Molina, L. T.; Engling, G.; Hsu, S.-C. 2010. Trace gas and particle emissions from domestic and industrial biofuel use and garbage burning in central Mexico. Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. 10: 565-584.
In central Mexico during the spring of 2007 we measured the initial emissions of 12 gases and the aerosol speciation for elemental and organic carbon (EC, OC), anhydrosugars, Cl-, NO-3, and 20 metals from 10 cooking fires, four garbage fires, three brick making kilns, three charcoal making kilns, and two crop residue fires. Global biofuel use has been estimated at over 2600 Tg/y. With several simple case studies we show that cooking fires can be a major, or the major, source of several gases and fine particles in developing countries. Insulated cook stoves with chimneys were earlier shown to reduce indoor air pollution and the fuel use per cooking task. We confirm that they also reduce the emissions of VOC pollutants per mass of fuel burned by about half. We did not detect HCN emissions from cooking fires in Mexico or Africa. Thus, if regional source attribution is based on HCN emissions typical for other types of biomass burning (BB), then biofuel use and total BB will be underestimated in much of the developing world. This is also significant because cooking fires are not detected from space.

The Mi'kmaq language (spelled and pronounced Micmac historically and now often Migmaw or Mikmaw in English, and Míkmaq, Míkmaw or Mìgmao in Mi'kmaq) is an Eastern Algonquian language spoken by nearly 11,000 Mi'kmaq in Canada and the United States out of a total ethnic Mi'kmaq population of roughly 20,000.[3][4] The word Mi'kmaq is a plural word meaning'my friends' (singular Míkm[5]); the adjectival form is Míkmaw.[6] The language's native name is Lnuismk, Míkmawísimk[7] or Míkmwei[5] (in some dialects).
The phonemic inventory of Mi'kmaq is shown below.

The obstruents (/p, t, k, kʷ, t͡ʃ, s, x, xʷ/) are voiceless initially or next to another obstruent, but allophonically voiced [b], [d], [ɡ], [ɡʷ], [d͡ʒ], [z], [ɣ], [ɣʷ] between sonorants (vowels or the voiced consonants /m, n, w, l, j/). Thus Mi'kmaq, phonemically /miːkmax/, is pronounced [miːɡmax].
Mi'kmaq distinguishes not only between long and short vowels, but between long and short consonants, symbolized orthographically in Listuguj by doubling the consonant. Beyond expanding in length, long consonants add a schwa when preceding other consonants. For instance, compare /en.mitk/, written in Listuguj as enmitg ("flow away") with /en.nə.mit/, written in Listuguj as ennmit ("stick into"); or, /tox.tʃu.pi.la.wek/, written in Listuguj as toqju'pilaweg ("hoist"), with /ge.si.gaw.wek/, written in Listuguj as gesigawweg ("loud").
Listuguj orthography occasionally begins words with consonant clusters, such as with gta'n ("ocean") or mgumi ("ice"). However, such clusters are pronounced over separate syllables, with a schwa preceding the cluster: for instance, gta'n is pronounced /ək.ta:n/ while mgumi is pronounced /əm.ku.mi/. On the other hand, word-final clusters, such as in asigetg ("investigate") are pronounced over a single syllable: compare the pronunciation of asigetg, /a.si.getk/, with mest'g ("taste"), /mes.tək/.
Mi'kmaq uses free word order, based on emphasis rather than a traditionally fixed order of subjects, objects and verbs[clarification needed]. For instance, the sentence "I saw a moose standing right there on the hill" could be stated "sapmi'k ala nemaqt'k na tett ti'am kaqamit" (I saw him/there/on the hill/right-there/a moose/he was standing) or "sapmi'k ala ti'am nemaqt'k na tett kaqamit" (I saw him/there/a moose/on the hill/right-there/he was standing); the latter sentence puts emphasis on the moose by placing ti'am (moose) earlier in the utterance. Further complicating matters is the fact that Mi'kmaq, as a polysynthetic language, has verbs which usually contain the sentence's subject and object: for instance, the aforementioned sapmi'k translates to "I saw him".
While it is thus difficult to classify Mi'kmaq under traditional word-order categories such as SVO or SOV, a more fixed aspect in the language comes in the morphology of its verbs. Certain areas of internal morphology of verbs in Mi'kmaq have regular placement: for instance, when the aspect of a verb is included, it appears as the first prefix, while the negative marker always appears directly after the verb root. An example for both of these instances can be seen in the Mi'kmaq verb kisipawnatqa'ti'w (kisi-paw-natq-a'ti-w), translated as "they cannot get out": the prefix kisi marks the verb as being in the completive aspect, whereas the negative marker, w, appears directly after the verb root a'ti ("the two move"). Unfortunately these solidly-placed elements of verbs are paired with markers that can appear throughout the word, depending again on emphasis; animacy in particular can appear fluidly throughout verbs. In short, while a few specific aspects of Mi'kmaq can be predicted, its syntax in general is largely free and dependent on context.
Writing system[edit]
Mi'kmaq-language stop sign in Elsipogtog First Nation
Mi'kmaq is written using a number of Latin alphabets based on ones devised by missionaries in the 19th century. Previously, the language was written in Mi'kmaq hieroglyphic writing, a script of partially native origin. The Francis-Smith orthography used here was developed in 1974, and adopted as the official orthography of the Míkmaq Nation in 1980. It is the most widely used orthography, used by Nova Scotian Mikmaq and by the Míkmaq Grand Council. It is quite similar to the "Lexicon" orthography, differing from it only in its use of the straight apostrophe'or acute accent ' instead of the colon : to mark vowel length. When the Francis-Smith orthography was first developed, the straight apostrophe (often called a "tick") was the designated symbol for vowel length, however due to software applications incorrectly auto-correcting the tick to a curly apostrophe, a secondary means of indicating vowel length was formally accepted: the acute accent. The barred-i ɨ is sometimes replaced by the more common circumflex-i î. In Listuguj orthography, an apostrophe marks long vowels, and the letter g is used instead of the letter k. The 19th-century Pacifique orthography omits w and y, using o and i for these. It also ignores vowel length. The 19th-century orthography of Silas Tertius Rand is also given in the table below; this orthography is more complex than the table suggests, particularly as far as vowel quantity and quality is concerned.

Mi'kmaq uses a decimal numeral system. Every multiple-digit number is formed by using one of the first nine numerals as a prefix or a preceding word, as seen in the number for ten, ne'wtisgaq, a combination of the prefix ne'wt - (derived from newt) and the root isga'q meaning ten (the pattern can be seen in tapuisga'q for 20, nesisga'q for 30, etc.) While 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 all use a single word containing a prefix, the tens between 60 and 90 use the numeral as a preceding word to a separate word meaning ten, te'sisga'q: for instance, 60 is written

A pair of capuchin monkeys show very compelling signs of cooperation and a sense of fairness, by working together to solve a problem using tools, and then sharing the reward.
They also show signs of understanding fairness: when unequal rewards are given to one monkey and not another, the monkey receiving the lesser treat would rather go hungry than accept anything less than an equal reward.
From the BBC documentary "Capuchins: The Monkey Puzzle", narrated by the ever brilliant Sir David Attenborough.

Health Benefits of Joining a Shooting Club
As with any sport, shooting is a discipline and requires a degree of fitness. Strength in the arm and shoulder to hold the gun and strength in the core and back to maintain the posture. As well as physical strength, shooting also helps to improve breathing and aid relaxation. This is done when concentrating on the shots themselves. Whilst strength goes a long way to stabilizing the gun and achieving better scores, without being able to control breathing, the shooter is missing out on those crucial bulls.
The stresses of an average day manifest themselves through the tightness of muscles, higher blood pressure, headaches, and fatigue. Whilst shooting, this will cause tension in shoulders, arms, and hands causing the shooter to snatch more shots. Higher blood pressure means that the heart rate is quicker and stronger which adds to more movement in the gun from the blood vessels.
Through slow controlled breathing, this helps to further increase the stability of the gun and get those high scores; these are the short-term consequences. The longer term is similar to yoga: stress maintenance and lower blood pressure.
When controlling their breathing, the shooter becomes more relaxed, the heart rate slows, blood pressure is reduced, and involuntary twitches and shakes begin to stabilize. Over a 10 minute course of shooting, the pressures and stresses of a hard day or week begin to fade. Studies show that evening meditation or yoga helps with sleep, depression, and anxiety; controlled breathing in shooting will do the same.
As with any sport, shooting is also a very social experience, by interacting with different people than you work with takes you out of the stress connecting environment and also helps you to relax and reset.
So why not give it a try, go to your local club and find out how it can help you.

sand making machine25489
Description: Understand the process of sand making machine production line
Group News
People's pursuit of life facilitation promotes the process of urbanization, and the pace of engineering construction is accelerated, and the demand for various types of basic building materials has also increased substantially. However, over-exploitation of raw river sand and sea sand is not conducive to environmental protection. Therefore, the development of mining machinery and heavy industry has become an important foundation.
Learn about the sander production line process to help you choose a more suitable brand.
Feeders, crushers, shredders, belt conveyors, electric control centers, etc. are the main process equipment for the sand making machine production line. Among them, the corresponding crushing machine can be selected for the degree of crushing (coarse crushing, medium crushing, crushing) that needs to be achieved.
The sand making machine production line is mainly used for crushing, shaping and refining of large hard, medium hard or cartilage materials such as perlite, granite, basalt, pebbles and hard limestone.
Artificial sand is formed through the sand making process, which is suitable for various industries that require aggregates. Such as fireproof materials, concrete, ore, metallurgy, etc. In special cases, the sand making machine can also be used to speed up the reconstruction of the disaster area and the house relocation.
At the same time, in order to comply with different process requirements and achieve different design yields, various types of equipment can be split and combined. The assembly of the production line is very flexible.
Next, the basic process flow of the sand making machine is briefly introduced.
The equipment adopts the principle of stone mutual attack and iron stone. The raw materials enter the vibrating feeder through dumping, etc., and the raw materials are transported to various crushers through the belt conveyor and the hoist to be crushed. After breaking, the sand machine is transported through the belt conveyor, and the sand making machine will aggregate the aggregate. Further breaking, breaking, and shaping. The treated aggregate enters the "sieve" of the vibrating screener for vibration screening, and then transported to the gravel washer for cleaning to the finished sand making machine. A basic set of sand making process ends here.
At present, the mature process equipment has greatly improved the automation operation degree of the production line. After reasonable mechanical selection and assembly, the purpose of low operating cost and high breaking rate can be achieved. Energy saving, large output and easy maintenance are its characteristics. The finished sand produced can meet the standards of all levels, the needle rate is low, and the production grade is matched, and the particle shape is good and uniform.
According to customer needs (mainly stone specifications, stone use) to determine the equipment assembly of the production line. The manufacturer provides comprehensive service and technical support, and configures the process according to the objective production conditions of the customer on site to achieve a rational, economical and efficient production line.
With an understanding of the basic production process, you can judge whether the equipment products meet your needs by observing the production process, and thus choose a product that is more in line with your brand.

Impact of COVID-19 on mortality rates and ramifications for group benefits plans
We've all witnessed the devastating effects of COVID-19 on our everyday life and on our loved ones. The virus has unfortunately taken the lives of too many people. What impact will this have on the mortality of Canadians and how will this uptick in deaths affect group benefits plans offered to workers and retirees?
The following graph presents the weekly number of deaths in Canada in recent years, compiled by Statistics Canada.
Backed by data from StatsCan and the Institut de la statistique du Québec, it's believed that COVID-19 generated 5% additional deaths in Canada last year. As expected, COVID-19 had a greater impact on mortality in Quebec, with nearly 8% additional deaths.
According to data published by the Government of Canada, individuals ages 70 and over account for 88% of COVID-19 deaths, with 69% of those deaths occurring in individuals ages 80 and older. The percentage of COVID-19 deaths among these age groups is even higher in Quebec (92% of deaths among those ages 70 and older, with 73% occurring among those 80 and older), according to the Institut national de la santé publique du Québec (INSPQ).
As these age groups comprise mostly retirees, we will analyze the cost of group benefits (pension plans and group insurance plans) offered to those individuals.
At first glance, we can expect more deaths occurring in 2020 than previously expected. For example, a group benefits plan covering 1,000 retirees with a median age of 70 could expect anywhere from 10 to 20 deaths in a given year. In 2020, the impact of COVID-19 resulted in an average of one or two additional deaths.
As mentioned, individuals ages 80 and older have been most affected by COVID-19. In general, the pension plan liabilities for this subgroup of retirees are small compared to other subgroups. Therefore, the experience variation as a result of increased mortality due to COVID-19 for 2020 should be rather limited, with some exceptions. We can expect little to no variation in pension plan funding costs as a result of the impact of COVID-19 on mortality in 2020.
COVID-19 may take a toll on premiums payable to the insurer. For plans offering life insurance coverage at retirement, the impact of the coronavirus will depend on group size and the renewal methodology.
Companies offering life, health and dental insurance coverage to retirees must acknowledge the costs of these plans in their financial statements. Just like pension plans, the liabilities for retirees over the age of 80 are small compared to other insured people. We can therefore expect little to no variation in costs as a result of the impact of COVID-19 on mortality in 2020.
It is too early to assess the long-term impact of COVID-19 on mortality rates, given the many factors that could influence future developments, such as:
- Additional waves of the pandemic
- Survivorship bias, or the belief that those who survived the pandemic may have physical attributes related to greater longevity
- Long-term effects on the health of COVID-19 survivors
- The impact of the cancellation or postponement of healthcare treatment and surgeries. Over time, the current situation may have a serious impact on the recovery of those awaiting treatment and, in the long term, on the life expectancy of Canadians.
- Mental health impact of social isolation and job losses
- Behavioural changes, such as frequent handwashing, may have beneficial long-term effects. This good habit could curb the transmission of other yearly viruses, such as influenza, which would reduce the yearly number of deaths.
With this in mind, it would be best to maintain the mortality assumptions currently used for estimating future costs of pension plans and group insurance plans. As a result, costs are expected to remain stable in the short term.

When you choose to keep the phone connected to the computer, the phone continues to charge. (Only when the computer is off does the phone not charge.) Otherwise, the computer and phone have ended their little tête-à-tête and you and the phone are free again to wander the earth.


How to Create a Custom LinkedIn Profile URL
Close up of a laptop with the Linkedin homepage open.

 For home business owners and freelancers, LinkedIn offers a tremendous opportunity to promote your business, network with influencers, and build your professional online presence. However, when you initially join LinkedIn, you're given a long, difficult to remember profile URL. This can be a problem when trying to share it with others you want to network with. The solution is to create a custom URL for your LinkedIn Profile that can make it more recognizable and easier to use.
By customizing your URL, you'd change:
(The caps are to show you what you can change. Your Linkedin Profile URL doesn't require caps.)
Why You Might Want a Custom LinkedIn URL
There are several reasons to create a custom URL on LinkedIn. One is for search engine optimization (SEO). Search engines, including Google, use keywords within a URL to help it decide what web pages to deliver in search results. A URL of would have a better chance of ranking well in Google for a search using the keywords "freelance writer Ohio" than would the first URL of
Another reason to create a custom Linkedin URL is ease of use and recognition. Having a line of numbers at the end of a URL looks messy and difficult, and it's more likely to be ignored. Whereas, a URL with your or your business' name at the end will be clear what it's linking to. While LinkedIn URLs aren't as straightforward as they could be, the custom URL is still easier to remember than the default one.
Choosing Your Custom URL Profile Name
You have a few options in creating your custom URL. One is to use your given name, such as Joe Smith. The other option is to use your business name. Finally, you can use a combination of the two, such as Joe Smith Freelance Writer. Some things to consider when deciding what to use include:
 - What are you branding? Do you want you or your business name to be the focus of your endeavor? How do you want to be known in the professional world?
 - How easy is it to use? While combining your name and business allows you to use both, it also creates a long URL that can be difficult to use if people have to type it in (i.e. off of a business card).
 - Will your name change? Traditionally, this is more of a problem for single women who get married and decide to take their husband's name. However, I've seen many couples hyphenate both their names, in which case, it impacts men, as well. In this case, using your business name might be better.
You are allowed to change your LinkedIn customer URL up to five times in a 180-day period; however, this is not advised. First, changing your URL means you have to update it everywhere you used the old URL. Further, people with the old URL will have difficulty finding you. Finally, after 180 days, someone else can use your old URL, which could potentially lead your clients and customers to the other person instead of you. For this reason, pick a name you know you can live with for a long time.
How to Create a Custom URL for a LinkedIn Profile
The instructions below work on your public profile.
 1. Log into LinkedIn.
 2. On the main menu bar at the top of the page, hover over Profile with your mouse and select Edit Profile.
 3. Hover your cursor over the current profile URL under your profile picture. The settings icon will appear next to the URL. Click it.
 4. On the right-hand side of the page, you'll see a section that says, Your Public Profile URL. Click on the edit icon next to it.
 5. In the edit box, type the custom name you'd like in your URL. You can have five to 30 letters or numbers, but no symbols or special characters (i.e. you can't use "*" or "!"). Your custom name is NOT case sensitive, so JoeSmith and joesmith will both work in the URL. When you're done, click Save.
 6. If your custom URL isn't already in use, you're all set. If it is in use, you'll need to submit a new custom URL. You can add your middle initial or your business name or type to create a unique URL. For example, if JoeSmith is taken, you can use, "JoeQSmith," "JoeSmithSellingWords," or "JoeSmithCopywriter."
Be sure to update your new LinkedIn URL on your website, blog, and other marketing materials.

PVC water belt use precautions
High temperature resistant hose
It is also a kind of steam hose, which is mainly used to transport hot water with a temperature greater than 100 degrees and less than 180 degrees. We all know that the maximum temperature of water at a standard atmospheric pressure is 100 degrees, but if the pressure of the closed pipe is more than 100 degrees, the hose must be pressurized and temperature. The higher the pressure, the greater the pressure. High-temperature water-receiving hoses When selecting the type, the pressure of the hose must be taken into consideration to prevent the steam hose from rupturing or injuring the equipment due to too much pressure. It is preferable to use a threaded joint or a high pressure joint to ensure the safety of the hose.
High temperature resistant acid hose
Because the material of the steam hose is generally EPDM rubber or EPDM rubber, this rubber has good corrosion resistance, so the steam hose can also be used to transport various acids with high temperature, such as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid.

Derro found living under the earth
Back to Alien Races and Descriptions
Burlington UFO and Paranormal Research Center
WASHINGTON -- Weekly World News has uncovered the shocking discovery
a race of underground Mole People living 20 miles beneath the Earth,
using secret tunnels to enter the United States!
This discovery was made not by archaeologists, but by NASA scientists
tunneling deep inside the Earth -- and they're trying to keep the
existence of this race covered up!
A NASA insider has leaked exclusive photos and information about these
"cave people" under the condition of anonymity. "This story has to be
told," says the source. "It's just too big to keep under wraps."
The source excitedly spilled some big secrets about the Mole People.
"They seem to be a friendly race," he says, "But they're very
primitive. We're trying to communicate with them, but it's a
complicated task since they don't speak English.
"The Mole People, as we've nicknamed them, have easy access to the
surface world," states the source. "That said, President Bush is
handling the situation with an abundance of caution.
"One wrong move could result in the creatures declaring war on the
surface. We're not even sure how many of them there are. We've only
seen one city so far, with an estimated 2,000 Mole People in
"But it's been suggested that there likely are several million of them
living in sprawling and cavernous underground cities, scattered
the Earth's surface."
The creatures have some strong similarities to humans -- but also a
significant differences.
"Like us, they walk on two legs, but they're much taller than the
average human -- standing 8 to 10 feet tall. Their fingers are
claw-like. And their hands are webbed and designed for digging, not
unlike the claws of a mole.
"Their skin is super-tough. It has to withstand the intense heat and
rugged conditions found below the Earth's surface."
There seems to have been some contact and interplay between humans and
the subterraneans at some point in history -- they speak a language
similar to an old Navajo dialect.
The source says the Mole People have ultradense musculature, making
them capable of extreme violence.
"When one member of the expedition lit a cigarette lighter, the Mole
People interpreted it as a threat and attacked him.
"They pounced on him like jungle cats, nearly snuffing him out along
with his cigarette. He was lucky to escape with his life."
The Mole People are reportedly very curious about the surface world --
our clothes, our gadgets and especially our foods. They particularly
enjoy our fresh fruit.
"I brought them some grapes, and they acted like it was a feast," the
source says. "Obviously they can't grow fruit of their own, living 20
miles beneath the Earth's surface."
NASA is reportedly eager to study the Mole People. "We want to find
everything about them -- what they eat, how they live, and, most
importantly, what is their relationship to the human race.
"We're curious if they are related to us in some way. Are they the
genetic ancestors of modern man?"
Experts say speculation has been widely varied on the Mole People.
"They could be anything from Yetis to space aliens to descendants of
the survivors of the lost city of Atlantis.
Experts say this discovery has raised a number of serious and
questions, including:
Are the towering inhabitants of the civilization hostile and warlike
friendly and cooperative?
Will they make territorial claims on the surface of Earth? And what
about crucial oil and mineral reserves below the surface? Who owns
them: the Mole People -- or us?
How is it that NASA -- whose official mission is to explore outer
-- discovered the underground culture?
Tight-lippped NASA spokesmen would neither confirm nor deny the
Pressured by reporters, a White House spokesman promised information
"as I am authorized to provide it." But he warned: "That won't be
anytime soon."
According to the source, NASA "stumbled on" the underground
civilization in August while running a classified project code-named
Operation Mole Hole -- an initiative that reporters now believe may
have involved spying on China, using new "underground technologies."
"So far NASA has found secret cavern entrances to the underground
in areas around Washington State's Mount Shasta, Mammoth Cave in
Kentucky and also scattered throughout the southwestern U.S.," said
For centuries, man has speculated about the existence of creatures
beneath the Earth's surface.
Now, for the first time, it seems those suspicions have been proven
But whether these creatures are benevolent or enemies of all mankind
remains to be seen.
Webmaster Note: Personally I believe that if they are of a previous race from a forgotten time and have lived among or under us all this time, why would the government even think of them as
enemies and fearful of an attack. Iam quite convinced that if this was their plan, they would have done it along time ago.
Below I have submitted the Agartha Map and you can compare tunnel entrances located on it with the previous article.
Here is the information I have on our Alien Description Site concerning the Dero and Tero, both subterrain races.
I found several descriptions describing the Teros and Deros. I will submit what has been presented to me and leave it up to you to draw your own conclusions.
The First:
A term describing various human groups who inhabit the cavern systems
and re-established antediluvian cities beneath the North American
continent. Many of these may be descended from early American
colonists, while others are apparently descended from older
civilizations such as ancient native Americans who went underground
hundreds and/or thousands of years ago.
The nemesis of the Tero are
the 'Dero', which apparently consist of draconian or reptilian
controlled elements.
The Second:
Explains the Teros as an underground civilization as well, but refer to them as non-humans.
The Teros are more friendly and help keep the Deros, who are more demented from having
excessive power.
They live in underground tunnels, cities and sometimes under the sea.
A problem I have with the Dero name NASA gives to the subterrean people they found is that by all of the descriptions I have found on the Dero they were more of a Dwarf-like creature...never
have I seen one described as 8-10 foot tall. Let's check out some of the other inner-world races and see if we can find a more fitting description and name for what NASA has descovered.............
Beneath our Earth's surface is the 'Inner World' with seemingly endless natural caverns and artificial tunnels spreading out and down into the earth. These passages have their own peculiar
underground ecology of water-dwellers and lichens, mosses and fungi. In its upper levels, this dark realm is inhabited by humanoids of every sort. Farther down are stranger races, most hostile
to surface-dwellers.
Drow, the evil dark elves, thrive in ''Inner Earth'. They trade with or war on other races there and on the surface, and are renowned as spellcasters.
Duergar, the gray dwarves, inhabit deep regions and seldom venture to the surface. Organized and intelligent, they easily hold their own against other subterranean races. They are masters of
stoneand metalworking, but hate their cousins, the hill and mountain dwarves.
The stunted dwarflike derro are among the worst of the Under-Oerth races. They crave magic, power and slaves. They are hated and distrusted even by other evil races, which avoid them. Every
twenty years, derro explode outward through the underworld, attacking anything they encounter and destroying or enslaving weaker races.
Jermlaine look like miniature humans that stand twelve to eighteen inches high. These troublesome gremlins love to swarm and rob larger beings, leaving the stripped victims for monsters to find.
Jermlaine like rats, and share their lairs.
Troglodytes are manlike reptiles that dwell underground. These creatures emit a nasty musk in battle that disables humans, demihumans and humanoids, allowing the trogs to kill quickly and
take the bodies back to their lair for a feast.

Wererats are frequently seen in the upper levels of the Inner Earth, particularly beneath the Hellfurnaces and in the sewers of cities and towns they have infiltrated in their human forms. They
conduct trade with other races, both under-and aboveground.
Beholders may have come to Earth from another world or plane. A beholder resembles a sphere about four to six feet across, with a single huge eye, a fang-filled mouth and ten eyestalks
crowning the sphere. A beholder can levitate to any height, floating at the speed of a slowly walking human. Xenophobic and cruel, beholders cast powerful magical rays from their eyestalks; the
central eye can cancel out magic used against the beholder. Very few people ever ever see a Beholder. Fewer still will

Anointing of the Sick
Appointments may be scheduled by
contacting the Parish Office
anointing of the sick1.jpg
How can we decide if we should ask to be anointed?
A reasonably sure judgment is sufficient for deciding on the seriousness of an illness. For example: A sick person may be anointed before surgery, whether or not a serious illness is the reason for the surgery. Elderly people may be anointed if they have become notably weakened even though no serious illness is present. Sick children may be anointed if they have sufficient use of reason to be strengthened by this Sacrament. If you are still unsure, when in doubt, ask Father!
How is this sacrament celebrated?
The celebration of this sacrament consists essentially in an anointing with oil which may be blessed by the bishop. The anointing is on the forehead and on the hands of the sick person accompanied by the prayer of the priest who asks for the special grace of this sacrament.
What are the effects of this sacrament?
Does a person have to be dying to receive this
No. The Catechism says, "The anointing of the sick is not a Sacrament for those
this sacrament has certainly already arrived" (CCC 1514).
How Can I Schedule an Anointing?
During ordinary business hours, just call the Parish office _PHONE_ and speak
with the secretary or email _EMAIL_.

What would happen if... I have a round magnet with a hole in it. Then I put a magnet shaped like a nail, into the center of the other magnet? Would it float? If I spun the magnet around the inner magnet, would it spin the inner magnet?
Thank you very much.
- Matt K. Leiner (age 40)
South Lyon, MI
The inner magnet would definitely not float. A mathematical theorem due to Earnshaw proves that there\'s no way to get a magnet to float with any scheme like this. The nail will pull over to the other magnet and get stuck on it.
For your second question, let\'s assume the nail-magnet was tied on a string or something to keep it in the center, but free to rotate. What it does when the round magnet spins will then depend on how the round magnet\'s poles are configured. (I\'m assuming the poles of the nail are at its ends.) If the round magnet has, say, the south poles on its inside ring and the north poles outside, spinning it won\'t change the magnetic field and won\'t make the nail spin. If the ring\'s south pole is on one side (say left) and the north pole on the other, spinning it will make the fields spin with it. That will make the nail spin with it, at least for slow spin rates.

This paper addresses the problem of efficient communication in unreliable multi-hop optical networks supported by Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM). We first define a new cost model for routing in (optical) WDM networks that is more general and realistic than the existing models. Our model takes into consideration not only the cost of wavelength access and conversion but also the cost for wavelength switching when several optical channels of the same wavelength arriving at the same node. We then propose a set of efficient algorithms in both reliable and unreliable WDM networks on the new cost model respectively for each of three important communication patterns --- multiple point-to-point routing, multicast and multiple multicast.

Some Ruggedness (DRS) Comparisons for Mountain Ranges
A natural question to ask is "is Mountain Range X more rugged than Mountain Range Y?" This is a bit of a slippery question, but ORS gives one way of answering such questions, by quantifying a certain measure of the ruggedness of a region.
We do this essentially by taking the average ORS value of each point in the region. This results in a measure of ruggedness, which we call domain relief and steepness (DRS), which rewards both relief and steepness. Click here for an old, but still valid, explanation of DRS. See the bottom of this page for acknowledgements.
NEW: Technical rough draft paper on RORS and DRS (ruggedness)
However, there is still the question of how large a region to select to represent the range in question, since ranges do not have precisely delineated boundaries. I have decided not to decide; rather, I present the data in graphical format, with ruggedness values calculated for various different versions of each range. (I also present tables below with the same data.) See below the first graph for a more detailed explanation of what these graphs mean.
NOTE: Most of these calculations use an old version of DRS (which we used to call simply "ruggedness", or "Rug"), which in turn used an old normalization of ORS (spire measure). The old version differs from the most recent version by up to 25%, in a way that depends on the steepness of the terrain. These DRS calculations remain qualitatively correct, but direct comparisons between these numbers and the ORS values for individual peaks are suspect. I plan to eventually update these DRS calculations to the new version of ORS.
NEW: A detailed workup of the Wasatch Range in Utah (using the most recent version of DRS)
A preliminary workup of Zion National Park in Utah (also using the most recent version of DRS)
Here is a comparison of some of the world's most rugged ranges.
Nepal Karakoram Pamir Alps SW BC Coast
Click on the name of a range in the legend box to see pictures of some of the regions displayed on this graph.
Here is how to read this graph and the others like it on this page. For example, let's look at the Nepal Himalaya. The data point at Area = 99200 km^2, Rug = 261m, indicates that if we look at all the possible subregions of Nepal with area 99200 km^2, the most rugged such region has a ruggedness (roughly, average spire measure) of 261m. This is a rather large interpretation of "The Nepal Himalaya," as you can see by the picture here.
If we focus down to a smaller size, and still look for the most rugged region, the average ruggedness will increase, since we are picking the best parts of the larger region. So for example, the data point at Area = 50300 km^2, Rug = 307m, indicates a fairly restrictive interpretation of "The Nepal Himalaya," which excludes much lowland and plateau terrain. And the data point at Area = 7500 km^2, Rug = 421m, just selects parts of the Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Mansiri, and Ganesh Himals, the very ruggedest parts of the Nepal Himalaya. At the left-hand extreme of the Nepal curve, the data point at Area = 1200 km^2, Rug = 471m represents just the Annapurna Himal, which turns out to be the ruggedest massif within the Nepal Himalaya, and probably the ruggedest massif in the world.
A similar story is true for all of the ranges on this graph and on all the graphs on this page: one can look at a large version of the range, encompassing everything one could define as being in that range, including much foothill terrain, but this will lead to a relatively low average ruggedness. Or one can look at smaller and smaller versions of the range, or subranges/massifs within the range, always selecting the most rugged region with a given size. These will have higher and higher average ruggedness as the size decreases, but they will be less representative of the range as a whole.
Further notes:
 1. Note that the area (x) axis uses a logarithmic scale.
 2. When the graph of one range (say the Karakoram) is always above that of another range (say the Pamir) then we can confidently say that the first range is more rugged. If the curves are close (e.g the Karakoram and the Nepal Himalaya) or cross each other, we can't judge one or the other as the clear winner.
 3. Some ranges are bigger in area than others; e.g. the curve for the Pamir stops around 30,000 km^2 since the range is simply smaller than some of the others. Also, for some ranges I have not calculated ruggedness values for all possible areas. Here, the calculations for A < 10000 km^2 focus on the best part of a range, or even the single most rugged massif.
 4. Although I have not put explicit error bars on the plotted points, a difference of less than 5% is never significant. Also, the lines between the data points are simple linear interpolation, so they are not very precise.
The next graph focuses on North America's best ranges.

How to Deal with Crowd Noise
Crowd noise can be a big challenge for road teams. Some stadiums and arenas can be very loud, making it hard to hear and communicate with your teammates. It can also be intimidating, which can negatively affect your emotions. As an athlete, you need to know how to deal with crowd noise so you can maintain peak performance.
The first thing you can do to deal with crowd noise better is to simply prepare for it. This is why many teams practice with artificial crowd noise during the week before a big road game. This gets players used to the noise so it doesn't bother them as much on game day. It also gives them the chance to improve their communication skills. This is very important because when the crowd is loud, you need to talk loud so your teammates can hear you clearly. You don't want to waste time repeating yourself, and you especially don't want any miscommunication. If you can do this, then you'll deal with the crowd noise quite well.
However, this isn't all that is needed. You also have to be able to emotionally cope with the crowd noise. You can't let the crowd distract, intimidate, or frustrate you. You have to learn how to focus on the task at hand and remain calm. Do not take the noise personally. It can help to think of the noise as neutral, meaning it isn't for you or against you. Or, during certain moments, you can pretend that the crowd is cheering for you, and use it to pump you up. You can also be motivated to "silence the crowd." Perhaps my biggest tip is to remember that the crowd noise is just noise. It shouldn't be able to affect your performance that much. YOU control your performance, not the people in the crowd. Focus just on you and your execution, and block out the crowd as best as you can.
If you prepare for crowd noise, get used to it, improve your communication skills, and improve your mental toughness and coping skills, then you'll be able to perform well even in the loudest stadiums and arenas!

- Essay on the Disadvantages of Departmental Stores
Essay # 1. Meaning of a Departmental Store:
A departmental store is a large scale retail business institution having a number of departments, each specialising in one kind of merchandise and expected to show profit for the department while remaining as a component of the entire business unit. It is, in a technical sense, a horizontally integrated retail business house with all departments under one roof.
In it, each department is a speciality shop such as textile department, drugs department, books and stationery department, video cassette department, etc. A consumer can hope to get all that he needs in a big departmental store.
That is why, it is remarked that a big departmental, store is a place where different sections or departments deal in articles ranging from 'pin to plane'. Such departmental stores are usually located in the central places of big cities.
Essay # 2. Features of Departmental Stores:
The main features characteristics of a departmental store are:
1. It is mostly organised as a joint stock company. Its organisational head is the board of directors with a managing director or a general manager entrusted with the implementation and execution of the policies and programmes formulated by the board. The General Manager coordinates the activities of various departments as their overall chief.
2. It is generally divided into several major sections to facilitate smooth working of the stores.
The major sections in it are shown below in a chart:
3. As regards the day-to-day working, the departments enjoy independence and freedom but all are owned, managed and controlled centrally.
4. It concentrates in one place opportunities for the satisfaction of innumerable wants of the consumers.
5. Having been located in the central place or shopping centers of a city, a departmental store can attract people from all parts of the city and others who came to the city from outside.
Essay # 3. Essential Conditions for Success in Departmental Stores:
(1) The organisational structure of a departmental stores must be sound enough to facilitate coordination among the departments.
(2) The departmental managers must be given due freedom with respect to their day-to-day activities.
(3) The policies and programmes for the management and control must be uniform for all departments.
(4) The shopping for the consumers, particularly housewives, should be easy through a provision of a whole range of goods belonging to different lines in the same building.
(5) Certain services outside the scope of ordinary business such as car parking, cafeteria, telephone, recreational facilities, etc. should be provided to attract the customers.
Lastly, attractive show-windows, display of products, skilled salesmen, low operating costs, etc. are also the essential factors for the success of a departmental store.
Essay # 4. Organisation Structure of a Departmental Store:
Essay # 5. Advantages of Departmental Stores:
As a form of large-scale retail business institution, the departmental store possesses the following advantages:
1. Economy in Purchases:
As regards the purchasing function, a departmental store plays the role of a wholesaler. It buys goods in bulk direct from the manufacturers, enjoys discounts and rebates and credit facilities, and thereby incurs lower freight charges. This centralised buying lowers down the unit cost prices of the goods. Employment of expert buyers for the departments is possible with a view to achieving economy.
2. Effective Advertising:
Being large in size and having diversity in different lines of products and services, a departmental store can afford to advertise on a bigger scale through press and other media of publicity. It can also decorate its departments with attractive show-windows for display of goods with a view to attracting customers.
3. Increase in Sales Turnover:
Having been located in central positions and in popular shopping centers, people from all parts of the city and others who came to the city from outside patronise the departmental store. Moreover, the consumers can buy their requirements of varied kinds under one roof. These factors lead to increase in the sales turnover.
4. Non-Business Services:
A modern departmental store does not confine itself merely to the business activities concerning the products being dealt in through the departments. Various non-business services like car-parking, cafeteria, telephone and telex, and recreational facilities provide additional advantages and benefits which are of definite attraction to the customers.
Essay # 6. Disadvantages of Departmental Stores:
Inspite of the above-stated advantages, a departmental store suffers from the following limitations or disadvantages:
1. Locational Unsuitability:
Due to expansion in the urban conglomeration, the limits of a city have widened. The centralised location of a departmental store becomes unsuitable to the vast majority of consumers who live at rather long distances from the central parts of the city.
According to J. Stephenson, a departmental store can obtain the shopping trade by being centrally located but the trade in articles of everyday use, which are frequently wanted at short notices, goes to their smaller rivals who are located near the houses of their customers.
2. High Operating Costs:
High rental for the premises because of central location in a city, excessive and exotic non-business services (e.g. cafeteria, telephone, etc.) provided, high salaries and wages to the officials and staff, -higher costs of decoration and maintenance, etc. increase the burden of selling expenses.
These have great impact on the fixation of product selling prices on account of these cost factors, and a departmental store finds it difficult to sell the products at reasonable prices. Thus the customers are mostly restricted to the well-to-do sections of the society.
3. Lack of Personal Element:
Like small retail shops, a departmental store cannot attend to the customers' needs and fancies as the customers are lost in the multitude that gathers in the store. The customers who are interested in personal attention by the salesmen do not prefer a departmental store and rather make their purchases from smaller retail stores.

During the audit, there was a follow-up of how SH maintains its safety-critical barriers and how the organisation utilises information from other incidents in the group and relevant international incidents. In addition, the status of working hours schemes was followed up.
Background for the audit
The PSA is to set standards for and follow up to ensure that the players in the petroleum activities maintain high standards as regards health, safety and the environment, and thereby also contribute towards creating the greatest possible values for the Norwegian society.
The PSA shall also contribute towards reducing the risk level in the petroleum activities by following up the players to ensure that they promote technical and operational integrity on the facilities, and also follow up the interplay between people/technology/organisation (MTO) in HSE-critical systems.
The facility has been through a long period with a high level of activity and simultaneous operation. Risk management and learning from incidents are important elements in achieving good processes to increase safety on the facility.
The audit was conducted on the basis of the temporary regulations dated 19 December 2003 relating to safety and the working environment for certain land-based petroleum facilities and associated pipeline systems (temporary regulations), and regulations relating to systematic health, environment and safety work in enterprises (the Internal Control Regulations).
Purpose of the audit
Safety critical barriers must be safeguarded in a unified and consistent manner, so that the risk of major accidents is reduced as far as possible. The PSA achieves this by
Result of the audit
No non-conformities were identified in connection with the audit. The report contains five observations with a potential for improvement:
