Do you sell used mills?
No. We have to go through the whole mill anyway and by the time we finish we would essentially have a new mill. We do rebuild carriages sometimes, but not regularly.
Don't worry. We work with several companies that can help finance your purchase.
Most all our problems are solved over the phone. We stock all parts and most of the time can ship replacements the same day you order. We've sold and serviced hundreds of mills this way! Simple is better!
Do you build custom mills?
Typically no. The key to our low prices is building standard machines. When we customize costs go up for everybody. We do offer several options that let you customize your mill which covers pretty much everything you need.
Do the mills have a warranty?
Our standard warranty is 90 days, but since our mills are tested before they leave, we really don't have to worry about warranties. Rest assured if there is an obvious defect, we will make it right. We couldn't have sold hundreds of mills if we didn't stand behind them.
How are the mills shipped?
Every mill has a fifth wheel hookup and a removable axle with wheels. A semi truck can simply hookup and go. We work with several companies that ship our mills. Shipping is not included, but is usually very reasonable.
How long will it take to get my mill after I place an order?
Typically it takes 1 to 2 weeks to assemble your mill. We make parts year-round so we can assemble a mill very fast.
We require a 10% downpayment with the remainder due when the mill is picked up.
Do you sell green chains, decks, stackers, barn sweeps, conveyers, etc.?
We are so focused on building sawmills that we don't have time to build those parts! You can easily obtain them elsewhere.
Why don't you sell/include the saw (blades)?
We are engineers, not saw experts. You should buy your saws locally so that you can get them serviced by a local expert.
This sounds so easy. Is it really that easy?

Can Black Tape Double the Speed of Your iPhone 4?
Author: Dylan TweneyDylan Tweney
Wired.com reader Ryan Rhea says he found a way to double the download speed of his new iPhone 4 with nothing more than black electrician's tape.
Rhea, clearly a graduate of the Home Depot School of Gadget Hacks, simply applied a thin strip of black tape on the lower left corner of the phone's outer metal band, starting right below the volume buttons and extending down to the edge of the speaker on the bottom of the phone.
That was enough to stop the reception problem reported by many iPhone 4 customers. For those with this problem, touching the lower left corner of their new phone causes signal strength to drop, often cutting off calls and sharply decreasing data download speeds.
Wired.com has not been able to duplicate the problem, although more than 30 readers have reported experiencing it.
That metal band forms the phone's antenna, as Apple CEO Steve Jobs explained when announcing the iPhone 4 earlier this month. And while touching a radio or TV antenna can often improve reception, by making the conductive surface of your skin into an extension of the antenna, it seems to have the opposite effect on the iPhone 4.
Several readers have reported that putting the iPhone 4 into a protective case, such as the $30 "bumper" case sold by Apple, solves the problem.
The electrical tape achieves the same result at a much lower cost, by putting an electrical insulator between you and the phone's antenna. In Rhea's case, his 3G download speed as reported by Testmyiphone.com went from 0.41 Mbps without the tape to 0.82 Mbps with the tape (in both cases, with the phone gripped firmly in his left hand).
The cost for a roll of electrical tape? About $4 for a 66-foot roll of 3/4" tape, which should be enough to fix your iPhone – and about 790 others.
As a bonus, electrical tape also works great for fixing nerdy glasses.

The Loudoun County Department of Economic Development has released its annual report, announcing that the organization worked with more than 100 businesses that moved to or expanded in the county between July 1, 2016 and June 30, 2017.
Those businesses invested a combined total of $3.3 billion in Loudoun, bringing the department's three-year total to more than $7.2 billion in new, announced commercial investment.
This is the department's third record-breaking year in a row, following $1.6 billion in FY15 and $2.3 billion in FY16.
"$7.2 billion in new commercial investment is a testament to Loudoun's appeal as a business location. It's more than any other county in Virginia, and more than any other county of our size in the U.S.," said Economic Development's Executive Director, Buddy Rizer.
The companies that moved to or expanded in Loudoun in FY17 are from a wide range of industries, and include cyber security, health IT, aviation and aerospace, data centers, craft beverage producers, and IT organizations of many kinds. A list of companies can be found in the annual report online at biz.loudoun.gov/AnnualReport.

When the Florida Legislature mandated school districts assign at least one safe school officer at each school facility earlier this year, the Lee Board of County Commissioners acted quickly to support paying 50 percent of the school district's cost to provide this important safety measure at every school in unincorporated Lee County.
The BoCC did this voluntarily; nothing mandates nor compels county governments or city governments to participate financially in the School Safety Act. The act is an unfunded mandate handed to all school districts in Florida. The statute's language states, " each district school board and school district superintendent shall partner with law enforcement agencies to establish or assign one or more safe school officers at each school facility "
Lee County has a history of providing a 50-50 share of funding for the School Resource Officer program. In all, the BoCC has spent $17 million during the last decade, a significant commitment to the protection of our children.
In 2011, both cities left the program and the Lee County Sheriff's Office started to supply SROs to municipal middle and high schools. Beginning in fiscal year 2011-12, the BoCC agreed to fund Cape Coral's and Fort Myers' 50 percent share to provide officers at all middle and high schools using a post-recession combination of general fund and unincorporated MSTU funding.
The county has continued its participation. The county's SRO allocation for fiscal year 2018-19 will be $2.8 million, a nearly 17 percent increase from $2.4 million in the prior year. We have communicated this commitment openly.
The BoCC addressed SRO funding in its April 3 budget work session and that consensus was codified April 17 at the regularly scheduled meeting. On April 23, we notified the LCSO and school district of the BoCC's action.


Millions of elderly Americans are becoming highly addicted to anti-anxiety medicines that treat depression, anxiety and sleep issues, a new study had warned.
Figures compiled by the University of Michigan show that one in four older patients who are prescribed the class of drugs known as benzodiazepines never stop using them.
Of the close to 50 million US adults aged 65 or older, about nine percent are prescribed benzos such as Xanax and Valium - more than any other age group - and the rate of use only increases with age.
These drugs are being increasingly scrutinized as drivers of America's addiction epidemic, alongside opioids, as more and more Americans struggle to get off them.

Mercer Housing looks to foster a sense of community along with continued growth

With about 4,700 currently enrolled undergraduate students at Mercer University, on-campus housing is nearing a full capacity between the different residence halls and lofts.
"We are full. We're real full," said Jeff Takac, the Director of Housing at Mercer University. "We're probably 97 percent occupancy. It's a good year."
There are 2,550 spaces in total for on-campus housing between the lofts and residence halls, according to Takac. Between these two, 1,950 of those spaces are in residence halls and 600 are in the lofts.
According to a recent census done by housing, 1,887 (97 percent) of the residence hall spaces are taken and 593 (99 percent) of the loft spaces are taken.
"Obviously, you'd like to operate at 100 percent because that's always good financially and everything else," Takac said. "You want to be above 95 percent if at all possible. I've been here 14 years, we've been above 95 percent occupancy all the time, which is a good thing. Even when enrollment fluctuates, housing has always been pretty full."
Enrollment in the past five years has increased by a total of about 300 students, and housing has also increased with the building of new lofts and of Legacy Hall, which itself added 300 beds for freshman housing.
Despite the growing student body and there being more enrolled students than there is housing, Takac did not express any concern for housing the large number of students.
"We don't have a lot of students that can't get housing," Takac said. "Usually, if they want housing, we're able to house them. But it's maybe not their first choice. But we can get them in."
The 1,950 spaces in residence halls break down very simply.
According to Takac, Legacy Hall can house up to 300 freshmen, and Boone, Dowell and Porter together can also house up to 300 freshmen.
Roberts Hall can hold up to 80 freshmen and sophomores, Sherwood Hall can hold about 124 sophomores and Shorter can hold about 130-135 sophomores.
Adam's Winship and the Garden apartments can each house up to 220 residents each, most of which are juniors. Mercer Hall can house up to 200 juniors, and Greek housing can hold up to 150 students in Greek life. There are also 32 units in the Orange Street apartments, though those are mostly house graduate students.
Some students expressed issues with the three-year housing requirement, which requires Mercer students to live in on-campus housing until their senior years. However, Takac said that establishing a sense of community is a very important part of housing at Mercer.
"I think most universities will tell you it creates a better environment on campus," Takac said. "I think that students do better, their GPAs are higher. There's a lot of statistics if you look at why it's better to stay on campus."
Takac said that when the majority of students live on campus, it creates a better on-campus environment. This environment also includes an active student community that is more likely to get involved in various activities on campus.
Takac said that there was even a desire from almost 500 seniors that wanted to live on campus this year.
He said that when he first came to Mercer 14 years ago, Mercer was considered a "suitcase college" because there was nothing to do and students would just leave on the weekends.
"I don't feel like people believe that at all anymore," he said.
Looking to the future, Takac said that Mercer is looking to update housing and attempt to make most housing nicer like the new Legacy Hall.
"What we're trying to do is update some of our older residence halls," TaKac said. "We've done some things with our lobbies to update them. We put some new furniture in, and we've added some games."

The Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad (JNTUH) has rescheduled its faculty recruitment examination for the post of assistant professor in Mathematics on April 26 from 10 am to 11 am, a daily has said.
The examinations, earlier scheduled for April 23, had to be cancelled after discrepancies were detected in the question paper.
In a media release later, JNTU authorities admitted that the question paper had print ink marks indicating the correct answer to some multiple-choice questions. They, however, refused allegations by some of the examinees that it was a deliberate plan to leak the answers.
The candidates brought the anomalies to the notice of the authorities in the course of the examination. Disgruntled with the administration's alleged negligence, candidates even staged protests, accusing the varsity of foul play.
The release also explained that the question paper which had anomalies was selected from a set of four-five papers just two hours prior to the examination, as per the procedure followed by JNTU in order to maintain transparency in the process so much that no one, including the question paper setters, gets to predict which paper the university will use to test candidates. The question paper for each examination is selected randomly by the vice chancellor and the procedure is video recorded the release further said to refute charges of foul play.
JNTUH's faculty recruitment tests started on April 9 and were supposed to conclude on April 25.
The university has already conducted the interview for recruitment to the post of assistant professor in Computer Science Engineering (CSE) and information technology (IT) Discipline on April 16, 2014. The written examinations for were held on April 15, 2014.

A Rosemont by Any Other Name
Rosemont Recruitment, the amazing Bristol-based recruitment company who chose us as their Charity of the Year, have been hard at work as always.
As we informed you all a couple of weeks ago, three members of the Rosemont team were planning to take on the Tough Mudder Half South West on Sunday 21st August. The Tough Mudder is an infamously hard, gruelling and grimy challenge, where the participants have to overcome a series of increasingly difficult, painful and muddy obstacles in the name of charity.
But no need to worry! The team – made up of Craig Davidge (Managing Director), Andrew Cooper (Associate in Consulting Engineering) and Kelly Cooper (Andrew's wife) – made it to the end in one piece, and they had an incredible time doing so!
Andrew said of his experience:
So happy to have completed Tough Mudder. It was a very difficult 5 miles of high, low, steep and wet obstacles! Will be signing up for next year's event in the South West.
Craig was equally enthusiatic:
Really proud of the team for completing the Tough Mudder Half South West! It was a tough challenge but really enjoyed the experience, and what's more satisfying is that it's all to raise money and awareness for OCD Action, so well worth all the cuts & bruises!
This isn't the first activity they've done for us. In June some of the team, including Becky Lewis, PA to the Managing Director and the person in responsible of our partnership, ran the 5K Rainbow Run in Bristol.
And we'll keep you posted on anything else they get up to in the future!
For their incredible efforts Rosemont have so far managed to raise an impressive £257.75 for OCD Action. We reckon that's worthy of a huge round of applause! Even so, head over to their JustGiving page and help them increase their total even more.
Thank you for your continuing efforts towards our cause, Rosemont! We're absolutely delighted to have you on board!
Do you belong to a business that is looking for a charity partnership? OCD Action is constantly on the lookout for opportunities to spread awareness of the disorder and raise funds to allow us to do even more to help people living with it. Get in touch with me at charlie@ocdaction.org.uk if you'd like to discuss what opportunities are available.

One of the most expensive BMWs you can get today is not some brand new 7 Series or an SUV, but rather an older model that definitely aged well. The BMW Z8 is a car that just doesn't seem to drop in value as time goes by. Instead, the roadster is only getting more expensive and we have collectors to thank for that. But what about the ALPINA version? Is it just as popular and expensive?
Well, if we're to judge by the car we're showing you today, it certainly seems so. BMW Z8 models are being sold for close to $200,000 these days but the ALPINA Z8 Roadster we're looking at here is asking for $244,900. According to the ad, it has 24,572 miles (39,545 km) and judging by the photos posted online, it seems like it was extremely well maintained, the black beauty showing almost no signs of wear.
If you're interested in owning a piece of BMW history though, and thinking the ALPINA is just as good as the original BMW Z8, you might want to think again. For the Z8, the tuner/manufacturer did quite a lot of changes to the original car, the biggest one being under the hood. The Z8 Roadster models from Buchloe came without the legendary S62 4.9-liter V8 of the E39 M5 that used to animate the stock cars, instead ALPINA going for their own 4.8-liter V8 from their B10 V8 S model which makes less power at 375 HP but more torque from down low.
That was the point too, as the ALPINA people wanted this car to become a proper GT cruiser instead of the sporty open top 2-seater BMW set it up to be. In this regard they also installed a softer suspension and a 5-speed automatic ZF gearbox as potential customers couldn't be bothered to shift gears themselves. Therefore, as you can already tell, the BMW Z8 and the ALPINA Z8 are two very different cars in reality. Nevertheless, the design is still absolutely brilliant and with just 555 units ever made, this ALPINA Z8 Roadster could turn out to be a good investment later down the line.

Part 30: Turn 38
TURN 38
The discovery of a potentially vast Romulan empire somewhere to the east has forced us to realize we cannot survive alone in this galaxy. We need friends. The Cardassians have an affiliation treaty with the Klingons, but only a friendship treaty with us. We must attempt to get at least on even terms. Eventually the Cardassians will have to choose between us and the Klingons. Our diplomats are sure to remind the Cardies to consider which side is more likely to leave them in peace when the dust settles.
TURN 39. The Cardassians will ignore our offer of an affiliation treaty because they were sending us an offer the same turn. Our diplomats do simultaneous spit-takes when they hear what the Cardies have in store for us. They've offered an alliance treaty! Everyone is amazed by this development. The only rational explanation is that the Cardassians are just as afraid of the Romulans as we are.
If we weren't already inclined to join with the Cardassians, the presence of a Romulan Colony Ship two sectors from Quazulu adds more incentive.
TURN 40. Our space lawyers go over the fine print of the alliance treaty. Since they've never been involved with one, it's a learning exercise. An alliance treaty contains all of the benefits of an affiliation treaty, but it also allows you to see everything on the map that your ally sees. You can also read your ally's intelligence reports. Federation and Cardassian territories will also be counted together toward the goal of 75% of the galaxy.
The Cardassians have a reputation for genocide and brutality. But our public relations officials play on everyone's desire for peace and security--they want to be convinced this is a good idea. Federation citizens speak warmly of the Cardassian leader as a reformer and a family man who loves his seven children. He is affectionately known as "Uncle Dukat".
With the alliance treaty in place, we can see all of the Cardassian ships. In addition to various scouts and a collection of Troop Transports on Cardassia, they have one very powerful fleet containing 16 ships--with some Battleships among them. This fleet is designed for invasion, as it contains 2 Troop Transports. It's located near their border with the Klingons, but they're affiliates of the Klingons. Could it be that this fleet was intended to invade us if we had turned down their offer?
We cannot allow the Romulans to expand on our doorstep, so we'll send a Heavy Cruiser to chase away their Colony Ship two sectors from Quazulu.
TURN 41. Our scientists have achieved their first major breakthrough. We need two more such breakthroughs to invent the Heavy Cruiser II. If we didn't have to devote so much of our people to internal security, we could make scientific progress much faster.
Speaking of which, enemy saboteurs have stolen 4,600 credits--roughly 10% of our empire's treasury. We have no way to know whether the Romulans were responsible for this, or whether our Cardassian allies are up to their old tricks.
Occasionally we're able to get a brief scan of the Klingon activity near our border. The Klingons have constructed a new Outpost just south of Deneva. It's guarded by a group of 9 ships, including some command ships. It looks like they're getting close to reconstituting their fleet after that setback we gave them on Quazulu.
TURN 43. Cardassian agents have reported that the Klingons have a "great hall" located on the system of Delta Vega. We have no idea what a Great Hall is. But our allies helpfully inform us that they're framing us for their espionage activities.
TURN 45. Earlier, we chased away the Romulan Colony ship from the sector southeast of Quazulu. But the Romulans are insistent, and they quickly ninja an Outpost build on that sector.
TURN 46. We're disappointed by the news that our allies have signed a non-aggression treaty with the Romulans. The Cardassians appear to be charming everyone into peace.
The Romulans issue a demand for payment. They may be powerful in the eastern half of the galaxy, but as of yet there is no proof that they have any real firepower to hit us with. All we've seen from them is a Scout or two flying around our space. We ignore the demand.
We have finished construction of a new Starbase on Styris, our latest colony. Styris has the potential to be big, so we want to protect it against any Klingon attacks. Now it should be impregnable except against the biggest fleets. The extra Troop Transports will be sent eastward to Holberg 917G, as we'd like some protection on our eastern border as well. The Romulans are over there somewhere.
TURN 47. The Cardassians' affiliation with the Klingons is occasionally useful to us, since we can see everything the Cardassian Scouts can. On the system believed to be the Klingon homeworld, the Klingon fleet has expanded to 17 ships.
TURN 48. We've been building a lot of Colony and Troop Transports, but we've also been slowly building a fleet of Heavy Cruisers. One Heavy Cruiser has been escorting Troop Transports around our "soft" northern territory. But we've also got 3 Heavy Cruisers defending the Starbases of our core. Now it's time to take an offensive action against the Romulan Outpost nearby. They're just getting a little too close for comfort.
TURN 49. Our 3 Heavy Cruisers arrive at the Outpost, which is otherwise unoccupied. Our strike force is overkill, but you never know what's going to be there with the Romulan cloaking capability.
The Outpost is easily obliterated.
Since we chased away the Colony Ship earlier, the Romulans had time only to terraform a planet, not colonize it. The loss of their Outpost means they lay no claim to the system. It will also shorten the Romulans' ship range, keeping much of our territory unreachable to them. In the east, a Cardassian Scout charts some Romulan territory, shaded in green. They're closer than we thought. But is that area the Romulan core or merely their outlying colonies?
TURN 50. The Cardassians have a non-agression treaty with the Romulans, but it's clear they have no use for them. The Cardassians pass a secret message indicating their support for our strike against the Outpost.
The Romulans take the loss of their Outpost seriously. But we don't know whether they're acting out of pride or if the Outpost was an important part of their master plan.
The system of Ingraham B is one we have always intended to claim eventually. The priority is high now that the Cardies have charted Romulan space only two sectors away from it. We now have 4 Heavy Cruisers--the bulk of our fleet--assigned to guard the construction of a new Starbase there. When the Starbase is completed, it will add to our scan strength. We'll need it to detect Romulan ships across the border.
We have a Scout sitting northwest of the Klingon system of Deneva. Its assignment is to immediately report any sign of Klingon threats. It has detected the constitution of a new Klingon fleet of 11 ships, including a Troop Transport. This is the new invasion fleet we had been fearing. Every ship in the fleet can travel 2 sectors per turn, so it may be difficult to predict its target before it's too late. There are two real possibilities: Borka, the core system 3 sectors east, and Styris, the new colony 3 sectors north.
We must protect both Borka and Styris as best we can. The Starbase construction planned for Ingraham B is important, so we'll leave a Heavy Cruiser there, but the other 3 will move west to protect Borka. Our only ship available to protect Styris is a Heavy Cruiser sitting on Gemulon where it was guarding colonization efforts. That Heavy Cruiser will move to the ininhabited system of Korris. It will be next door to Styris, but close enough to Borka to defend it if that's the direction the Klingon fleet is headed.
TURN 51. We're increasingly nervous as we see another peace treaty signed between two empires that aren't us. The Klingons are now at peace with everyone except us. So are the Romulans.
The Klingon fleet moved 2 sectors to the north. Obviously it is targeting Styris. We're thankful that we finished building a Starbase on Styris only a few turns ago. But we had hoped Borka would be the target since there are more Heavy Cruisers capable of reaching it in time. The 3 Heavy Cruisers that moved to Sol will not be able to reach Styis in time. Now that the Klingon fleet is next to Styris, we're able to detect 3 cloaked Klingon Scouts, bringing the ship total to 14.
We have just one Heavy Cruiser that will be able to help defend the Styris Starbase. It is ordered to move there immediately.
TURN 52. There are no Orbital Batteries or other ground-based defenses on Styris. Its fate will be decided here.


Although we can spend months or more researching our holiday destination, most of us consider planning our goals with distaste – let alone taking time to break them down into tasks we need to do on a daily basis. Pancho Mehrotra looks at why this is, and what we can do about it.
Remember your last vacation? How long did you take to decide where you were going and plan what you would do there?
Planning a vacation is, for many, much easier than planning their goals. Why? Apart from being something people look forward to, it is easy to decide on a destination and then it becomes easier to plan the steps. Often the hardest part is agreeing on the destination! Once confirmed, the other elements, like the duration and budget, come together quickly.
Planning our holidays also satisfies our need for immediate gratification; we can soon see the result of the goal, of the effort we put in to make it happen.
Now think about the difference when deciding on the goals around your life, business and relationships. For many, once they begin to think about these areas, a level of anxiety begins to creep in.
People want to avoid planning for the future for a myriad of reasons. One of them is that they might be disappointed in where they are and what they have achieved so far.
It is difficult to confront the truth, which often is that perhaps you could have acted but chose not to.
For many, this close examination of their life is far too brutal.
To find ourselves lacking will challenge our self-concept. This is unsavoury to us; we will all do virtually anything to protect our own views of ourselves or our personas. These views are in fact closely related to our own beliefs. Let's face it, who likes their beliefs challenged? No one!
Why? Because this would be a direct attack on our past judgement and the decisions we have made, and no one likes to be proved wrong.
The act of going after your goal is a lot about self-image. Generally speaking, people who are confident in their abilities and have a strong belief in themselves will set out their goals and then methodically go about seeking them.
The other side to this is someone who is not so confident of achieving what they want; they will avoid the entire chapter of planning and setting their goals. They will then be able to seek safety in blaming other people or circumstances for not achieving what they imagine they set out to do. The frightening aspect of this is it is really difficult to confront the truth, which often is that perhaps you could have taken action, but chose not to.
If you think you fall in the second category, the first thing is to recognise that awareness and thinking are the areas that need to be addressed. Pay attention to your thoughts, such as, 'I am too old to change', or 'I never had the opportunity to…'. These become your beliefs. Remember, beliefs are completely internal and linked closely to self-image.
We are instinctively wired for fight or flight when faced with a difficult situation. Whenever we need to take stock of our lives, the flight instinct kicks in automatically. Facing the facts shows the evidence of your progress in life, which you might not be entirely happy to face; thus the flight instinct immediately wants to block that activity. Instead, it is much easier to blame other factors for your lack of progress or avoid dealing with this situation. It becomes easier to make excuses and create valid reasons for your lack of progress.
Going back to planning a holiday, what makes it easy to plan? It is easy because we feel we are in control of virtually all the steps and we know what we are going to get as a result of our actions.
Here is the key point: we already know what we will get as a result of taking action. In our minds it is a known outcome, not a variable. We think we know the end result. We think when we plan a holiday we will have a good time. The fact is, you don't know before you are on your holiday if it will be a great holiday or not. You believe it will be, so you make an effort to make happen, so it does.
It is interesting how beliefs impact all our decisions. Our beliefs have a very powerful control over our feelings, because they also influence our actions – which ultimately make us feel successful or unsuccessful, in control or out of control.
The future frightens many people when it comes to their goals, because they don't know what will happen. Any marker or indication of time is an unwelcome reminder that your life is passing you by. You prefer to keep life vague, a stream of events and memories without any structured progress towards your goals.
Facing the facts shows evidence of your progress in life, which you might not be happy to face. It is better to have regrets about things you have done or attempted than not to have done them at all.
Now, let us apply the same belief to goals that we do for holidays. We take the fearful view out of the equation. We believe that we will achieve the goal we have set our sights on. Immediately, we see going after goals in a different light. We are eager to plan and execute this plan to get to our destination.
The first thing to do before making a change is to realise what you are thinking. Write down everything you want to happen or want to avoid. Sometimes becoming aware of what we don't want is a lot easier to work out than what we do want.
Take responsibility for, and control of, your life. Stop blaming outside influences such as the economy, your parents, your boss, your education, school teachers or the lack of opportunities in your life. This is a time to face the music and face facts. You probably have a vague idea of what you wanted: now is the time to examine those goals.
When you take responsibility for your circumstances, you take control of your life – which is the point where you take action. See responsibility as a reward; to quote Billie Jean King, "Pressure is a privilege".
Accept uncertainty brought about by change and give up the need to know what is going to happen as a result of taking action. Focus on the process rather than only the end result.
A simple fact is that to make progress in our goals and careers there needs to be change. Another fact is that change means stress, getting out of your comfort zone, which means more pain. This is the stage where you need to be aware and accept that the past gave you comfort while changing the future will come with a degree of discomfort.
An important step in moving towards your goals is to forgive people who you feel either hindered you or did not give you the help or guidance you needed. This step helps you to take back control of your emotions. Without forgiveness it becomes very difficult to move on in your life, especially towards goals.
Start by taking a risk. Start planning! What are you going to do this year, this month, this week, this day?
Successful planning is done on several levels, macro and micro. Planning daily actions is just as important as having a glowing plan of the final outcome. Planning daily actions creates momentum and this is where the initial focus should be. Planning needs conscious thinking, not habitual thinking.
Take time to plan and write your activities for the month, week, every day. You will notice an immense emotional benefit; the lack of stress, not to mention increased motivation to achieve what you set out to do.
It's never too late to plan your life. Put pen to paper and plan your business goals, personal goals, financial goals and/or health goals.
The best time to start is now, to move towards your future aspirations. Be thankful for your current experiences. Seeing the positives out of these experiences is important.
Find out exactly what the goal is you don't want to commit to. Write it down.
Think about why you are not committing. Write it down.
Plan constructive action. Write the actions down in detail, limited to five key actions.
It is better to have regrets about things you have done or attempted than not to have done them at all.


To find out the location of the courier service before making a choice is a very important thing. This will save time involved in picking up and delivering of couriers.
If you wish to have good service, you must identify the services offered by the courier company. Services like, same day couriers, online booking and payment and online consignment tracking add to the exclusivity of the courier company. Such a company is more likely to have the ability to meet the requirements of the technology driven consumers.
A company that does not understand the priority of a booking can never provide good service to their customers. Therefore, you need to assure that your courier company understands the urgency of delivering an item as specified. Also, check if the courier company provides insurance cover for shipping high value items or not.
Gathering as much information as possible will give boost to your choice. You must have information regarding experience, fleet, drivers, delivery system and additional benefits, if any. Remember, before handing over your parcel to a stranger you must be self-assured at first.
Making a choice for fast, reliable and cost-effective couriers in London will become relatively easy by considering the above points.


The increasing digitization of medical data has meant more streamlined processes for patients and healthcare providers; but the transformation has also been an opportunity for malicious cyber attackers to take advantage of holes in security with ransomware. Though credit card information was once the prized possession of cybercriminals, it now takes a back seat to healthcare data, which is more valuable on the black market for its highly personal nature.
While companies in other sectors were slow to digitize data and prioritize its protection, healthcare organizations went digital faster. The change has made medical data access and management far easier in many respects. But the process has also made healthcare systems prime targets for cyber attacks— particularly ransomware.
The combination of data security not being built into the processes and the historical tendency of healthcare organizations to underinvest in digital security mean that this highly sensitive information is both easier to seize and worth more than other types of data.
A slew of attacks on major healthcare organizations has put many in the medical field on high alert. In February, The Washington Post reported that Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center was victim to a ransomware attack that halted hospital staff's access to their computer systems and various electronic communications. The hospital had to pay the equivalent of $17,000 in Bitcoin ransom to regain access to the seized systems and restore operations. An attack on Methodist Hospital in Henderson, KY and another at Ottawa Hospital unfortunately indicate that these are not isolated incidents but part of a growing ransomware trend.
A report on the future of ransomware from the Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology (ICIT) states that 2016 will see a huge uptick in ransomware attacks, because they are highly profitable and poorly guarded against. Healthcare organizations, which were previously considered off-limits because of the potential for human harm, have become victims of these attacks precisely because of the danger to humans that motivate organizations to pay the demanded ransoms.
The introduction of advanced security systems will be critical to healthcare organizations seeking to protect patient data and safety. Data backups and file shadow copies can be helpful but only go so far.
The ICIT report suggests that the most critical step is implementing a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy that includes advanced technology, employee training and protocols with guidelines for thwarting attacks and responding effectively to them. One of the most trusted cybersecurity firms in the healthcare space is our partner, Fortinet, which has developed a complete ecosystem of advanced technology solutions optimized for complex healthcare networks.

Unveiled Element One, The Hydrogen-electric Aircraft for Regional Travel
Posted on October 21, 2018 by Aerospace Engineering - Training
HES company with experience producing fuel-cell propulsion systems for military unmanned air vehicles has unveiled plans to develop a hydrogen-electric four-seat aircraft. With significantly longer range than battery-powered electric aircraft, the Element One is designed for regional flights between country towns.
The Element One concept combines hydrogen fuel cells with distributed electric propulsion to enable the aircraft to fly up to 500 km with compressed gaseous-hydrogen storage and up to 5000 km with liquid-hydrogen storage, says Taras Wankewycz, HES managing director.
HES has been developing compact, lightweight hydrogen fuel-cell propulsion systems for the past 12 years, mainly to extend the endurance of electric UAVs. "A lot of manufacturers look at retrofitting this into battery-electric UAVs, which is challenging as hydrogen takes a lot more space. HES is developing a next-generation UAV concept that fits around its propulsion system, and sees the opportunity to apply the same technology to manned aircraft.
What makes this possible is distributed electric propulsion, indeed Element One has 14 electric motors housed in nacelles under the wing. There is room for us to replicate the drone propulsion system across the wing of the aircraft, so we have multiple motors versus one big one. That provides redundancy for safety, because if one fails, there are 13 others or more.
It is not only propulsion that is distributed, but also energy storage, as each motor has its own fuel cell and hydrogen tank in a swappable nacelle. "There is a limit to how much hydrogen you can store on an aircraft because it takes up a lot of space in the fuselage. But we split it into parts and put one tank behind each motor," says Taras Wankewycz, HES managing director..
The Element One needs about 100 kW of power in cruise. Split 14 ways, that requires a nominal 5-8-kW system in each pod. "That's more than enough to carry four passengers for 5 hr. with pressurized hydrogen tanks, which is a mature technology used in the automotive market now," Wankewycz says. "We see the potential to increase range to 15-20 hr. with liquid-hydrogen storage."
BMW developed a liquid-hydrogen-fueled car in the mid-2000s but hit the problem of long-term storage and the loss of energy through hydrogen boil-off, he says, so HES has developed the swappable module concept, combined with automated refueling, to minimize the time between production and consumption of the hydrogen.
The propulsion module—tank, fuel cell and controls—is designed to slot into the back of the motor. When the aircraft lands, an automated ground vehicle (AGV) will drive up, collect the spent modules and drive them to an on-site hydrogen production facility for refilling. Meanwhile, another AGV will drive up to the aircraft and slot in refilled modules.

This will enable the aircraft to be refueled and turned around much faster than the time it takes to recharge a large lithium battery pack, says Wankewycz. In HES' concept, hydrogen will be produced locally at the small country aerodromes between which the Element One will operate.
Today, most hydrogen is produced from natural gas, which is a fossil fuel. In HES' business model, on-site hydrogen production will be powered by renewable energy from wind farms or solar parks adjacent to the aerodromes. "It's 100% zero carbon emissions from production to consumption," he says.
HES is working with hydrogen-generation companies to look at technologies to accelerate refueling and reduce the energy required to produce hydrogen. "One company has developed a way to produce compressed hydrogen without an external compressor. That's a big deal," Wankewycz says.
An on-site facility would "trickle-produce" hydrogen throughout the day, ready for refueling. "Hydrogen production can be slow, but the AGV can plug in and fill up fast. We decouple the production from refueling," he says.
This infrastructure concept is key to the HES business model. "We are not looking at intra-urban travel," Wankewycz says, referring to the nascent market for air taxis in congested cities. "We are talking about intra-urban regional travel, from country town to country town. This is decentralized flying using a decentralized energy source, flying from small aerodrome to small aerodrome in the countryside."
HES has teamed up with French flight-sharing startup Wingly, which offers leisure flights in France, Germany and the UK but is looking to expand into town-to-town travel. "There is a tremendous need for inter-regional transport between secondary cities," says Wingly CEO Emeric de Waziers. Wankewycz notes that the all-electric Element One will be quiet, avoiding creating a noise issue at these remote airfields.

HES is assembling a consortium to develop the Element One and supporting ground infrastructure and aims to fly the prototype in 2025. "We have milestones to take us there through a series of steps," Wankewycz says. "The first is a transatlantic crossing by a UAV with one or two hydrogen propulsion systems, perhaps a scaled-down Element One. We hope to achieve that next year."
The company is looking for partners in Asia, where air travel is booming, as well as in France, where there is a strong aviation R&D ecosystem "and a big push for emissions reduction" with several companies involved in developing a hydrogen infrastructure. "Europe is the biggest proponent of climate solutions, but we are looking at other options, even China," Wankewycz says.
On the issue of safety, Wankewycz says use of hydrogen fuel-cell buses is growing in places like China, Japan and South Korea, and there have been no issues with passengers sitting over the high-pressure tanks. In its own experience powering UAVs, HES has not encountered problems. The tanks are very strong, with multiple layers of carbon fiber able to withstand 3-4 times the design pressure," he says. "And the tanks [in Element One] are a tenth the size of those in automobiles, which further reduces the risk."

Long Should You Wait Start Dating After Break Up. How Long Do You Wait To Start Dating Again After A Break Up?
Long should you wait start dating after break up, sorry, you're not allowed to access this page.
I wish my friend had that conversation with me instead of getting with my ex while I was still going through the breakup process. If you really like this person, call them in the morning.
A woman I know once told me that the only way she can get over one guy is by replacing him with another. You just need to explain to her that you guys like each other and if that guy breaks up with her, you may think about getting together. I also asked him to not contact me ever again so that I could be in peace.
I personally think it's sweet when someone doesn't want to wait to talk to you. What do you think?
But is that really getting over the guy? It is perfectly normal for him to love her, she was once his wife and they share children so he may love her, but is he still IN love with her?
Is there a valid timeframe for these things? Trip advice flirting lines one, constantly chasing new girls can get bone-tiring, as well as massively drain your time and resources. This post originally appeared on TheWriteWoman.
Family brands singer a 'liar and a narcissist who refused to visit her dying father' Accused of ignoring repeated requests Revealed: How long should you wait to call after a first date?
How soon is too soon to start dating again after a break-up? And they were right. Then you can think about discussing the fact that you want to date her ex.
How long should someone wait after a break-up from a man who has stated he still loves his ex-wife of 2 children and year marriage then divorce? Some would even say hi, and then run away! If you are a girl you will call him or text him after 10mins too.
Do you react differently to certain situations because of the relationship you were previously in? What did you do? Yes you have to give it time but 2 days, no more than that, you have to let the person miss you not forget you! Realize that a man freshly divorced and who has children will carry a lot of baggage.
So I am not pushing it chatting with a few guys but no definite plans, I am just going with the flow.
Loneliness is a complex problem of epidemic proportions, affecting millions from all walks of life. This is a question only you can answer. Isn't that one of the greatest issues of our generation?
How many months after a hurtful breakup were you able to date again or find love? With or without telephone contact? Let me tell you my reality. If you get together on lets say friday.
But oftentimes, we're encouraged to do so quickly, as if it's that easy to let go of a future we planned with someone else. Rajkumar Hirani relives nostalgia with Ranbir Kapoor's look as 'Munnabhai'.
Do you know what you're passionate about? MERGE already exists as an alternate of this question. A lot of people give up on their workouts because visible progress takes time, but what if they stuck it out?
How long should you wait to date someone new? She will either say yes or no. Pnce she breaks up with him, or he breaks up with her, you talk to her. How soon is too soon to date after a break up?
Maybe you've been ready to end the relationship for a while, and because of conflicts aren't concerned about you're ex. Is there anything you'd like to improve about yourself?
I would say about a month at the very leastfor the stun to go down. First, it depends on you, if you're devastated by the break up, you get. And she's not the only one who does so.
Stupid me already put myself out there. What if instead of attempting to distract yourself with someone else, you gave yourself enough time to get to know this version of yourself? Go on another date 5.
It's crazy and sounds stupid, but it works. The inability to wait.
And don't sit round waiting for them to call if you really like him or her. Is it even possible to handle this in some way as to really have this relationship NOT be the standard rebound thing?
Sometimes its best to get your ex's out of your life for good. She never even asked me if it was okay with me. Any sooner and it shows that you have no weekend life.
The part directly following a breakup is hardand it isn't emphasized just how hard it is. And if she says no, wait to make sure she has moved on before asking again, to make sure she still says no.
Bragul 2 Comments How long should you really wait to date after a breakup? It wasn't until the dismantlement of the five-year relationship I was in that I understood why people jump from one relationship to the next.
It is too painful to feel so disconnected to a stranger and try to start the getting to know you process. Need advice on a different topic? Wouldn't the results then, despite taking a while, be inevitable?
Maybe say to her that you sorry to hear about the breakup, but since she is now free, that you would like to get to know her better. If I like a girl, I'm definitely going to call or maybe text her. Where others are anxious to get out there and meet new people. Would you like to merge this question into it?
If you are struggling, consider online therapy with BetterHelp.


Yesterday (Saturday, January 11, 2014), the new tapas-style restaurant in Morocco finally opened, and I made a visit to Epcot to check it out. "Spice Road Table" is a very small restaurant, sitting on the lagoon side of the Morocco pavilion. Its primary feature is going to be the fact that it sits on the water front, offering guests decent-to-good viewings of the lagoon during IllumiNations.

IS WALLPAPER EVER A GOOD THING ???
WALLPAPER AND PANELLING...IS THAT EVER AS GOOD THING ??
Great if it was 1974 but not so good for 2018.
There was a time when we all wanted ducks or tropical fish bordering our ceilings in the Bathroom. There was a time when Barbie Dolls with knitted skirts hid unsightly toilet paper rolls and crocheted toilet covers were thought to be cute ( I personally never thought that....I wondered what kind of person would actually think of crocheting something like that...I still do ) .
We wallpapered anywhere else that wasn't pretty enough. There were florentine designs in the Front Hall, aztec like patterns in the Livingroom to go with the unbelievably cushy gold and brown shag rug and graceful swans,stars and moons or racing cars circled our Bedrooms.
It was like we all lost control and had to cover up or stick something on anything that had too much blank space. No wall was left untouched.
Then there's panelling. It started in the forties and we never got over it. Right up into the eighties....if you had a Rec Room...you needed to panel it. Unless you did a mural of Niagara Falls or the forest, than you only did three walls. The colour was always the same....fake maple to go with the industrial thin brown and orange carpet stuck to the cement floor.
The freaky part is that not only do I remember this stuff but I still see it today. And it's even weirder that some people continue to believe that wall murals of Sedona and borders of rubber duckies are a good thing .
If you're thinking of selling your home and you still have wall paper borders and fake wood panelling....it's time to get a grip. The stuff hasta go. And while you're at it....if your cement rec room floor still has industrial carpet stuck to it...spring for a sub floor or at least really good underpadding and berber carpet, hardwood or quality laminate.
Todays Buyer wants a clean property with freshly painted walls and upgraded flooring. They want kitchens and bathrooms that are contemporary and finished simply.
Contemporary and clean doesn't mean sterile. Too often recently I've seen homes that were staged to cold starkness. Nobody lives there...and if they do....someone's stuffing them and their toaster oven in the attic when there's a showing. And folding the toilet paper end to a point in all of the bathrooms means hotel, not home. (This is also daunting for Buyers or their Agent who might have to use the facilities cuz really I can't always remember how the point goes and then EVERYBODY knows you've been there.) I give you permission to display a few choice family pictures... the kettle can stay on the counter and for my sake......let the toilet paper roll hang "au natural".
Next Time: Is it good to keep the glass tank with your lizards displayed in your Master Bedroom when you're trying to sell your home?
Pink is the name of a pop singer and it has helped raise money for breast cancer awareness but it's the worst paint choice that you can make for your home if you plan to sell it any time in the future. I have heard grown men laugh out loud upon entering a pink room and I have watched families come into an open house……and quickly go out again, with smirks and scrunched up faces, looking down all the way so I won't speak to them, after stepping into a pink foyer.
There was a time in the eighties when the pink and grey combination was very popular. People wanted grey brick houses, grey furniture with gold accents, grey rugs and pink walls. And sometimes powder blues were tossed around as well with hints of mint green.
That was fifteen to twenty years ago. If your home is still pink and grey…it's really seriously time to consider a change. Kinda like not wearing shoulder pads anymore.
I can hear Mother's starting to mutter as they read this having just finished painting their daughter's room a lovely pastel pink. Yup, I did this one too. My daughter's room when she was little was the worst chartreusy kinda pink you can imagine and I did sell that home, but it was the only room like that. The rest of my house was done in welcoming warm earth tones. So if your daughter's room is pink, it's fine, just don't let it spread through the rest of the house.
If you plan to put your house on the market, remember that a buyer wants to walk into a place that looks like where they want to live, not where you still do. Make sure you have someone go through your home before you list to help you create a light filled, warm and inviting environment that will appeal to most buyers.
Colour has a huge impact on us. Red can make us antsy ( although I love it ) and white's something you wear in a church. And pink, whether we like it or not, conjures up all things feminine, which leaves out almost half of the population. Paint is relatively cheap. It's an investment that could bring you thousands of dollars more when you sell. And then you'll have lots more money to "pinkify" your next home!

VANEESE THOMAS: Soul Sister Vol. 1 (Segue)
Wednesday, 20 July 2011 19:07 Bill Buckley
Vaneese Thomas is one of Rufus Thomas' daughters and though not a household name, she's enjoyed a long and successful career in music. An in-demand session singer (Aretha Franklin rarely worked without her), she's also recorded a number of solo albums and though this set was originally released in 2009 she's busy re-promoting it. The 12 tracker is a "covers" album – Vaneese's tribute to the female singers who influenced her as she embarked on her own solo career.
She's chosen some big names as role models – Aretha, Etta James, Gladys Knight, Tina Turner and Denise LaSalle amongst them and as for the songs... she's gone for some "epics" – stuff like 'Tell Mama', 'Since You've Been Gone (Sweet Sweet Baby)', and 'Nutbush City Limits'. Wisely, Vaneese doesn't try to be too clever and change things around too much. She sticks closely to the original arrangements and tries to create freshness with her own distinctive vocal attack.
Pleasingly, she also works with material that's sadly unknown beyond the world of the soul collectors, turning in great performances on Barbara Acklin's 'Love Makes A Woman', Mitty Collier's 'I Had a Talk With My Man' and Bettye Swann's 'Make Me Yours'. Freshened up, they're heartfelt tributes. Vaneese is confident to include one of her own songs too – 'It's Killing Me'. Written with her guitarist, Nick Moroch, it's a bluesy growler that speaks volumes of the lady's Memphis roots and it's certainly not out of place amongst the classic songs that surround it.
Vaneese is currently putting the finishing touches to an album of brand new material (see our recent news feature)... in the meantime this will certainly satisfy soul collectors who treasure "proper" soul songs delivered the "proper" way.

[SOLVED] How do you open dat files on linux?
Anyone know how to open csprogs(.dat) files?
.dat files are compiled game code, only the game can open them.
Thanks for helping me, but I'm not looking for the game code. Some servers have they're own dat files and I'm trying look in them.
Your best bet is probably to open it up in a Hex editor and look through it that way. Just don't expect to get anything out of it that will make it worth your time.
My time is mostly not worth anyways , and I know what I'm looking for 99.9% you know any hex editors for Linux?
Which server is the csprogs.dat file from? Maybe the admins would be willing to provide the source code.
@Beagle, uhh you mean like the hexeditor command?
DieTunichtGuten, been talking with the owner for about a week now, known him since 3 or 4 years ago.
But as PinkRobot said, there's not much point looking at the compiled binary.
