Raytheon Awarded Joint Based Expeditionary Connectivity Center Contract in Support of Homeland Defense
TEWKSBURY, Mass., Aug. 15, 2005 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Air Force awarded Raytheon Solipsys a homeland defense contract valued at $6.7 million with options to support NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) and NORTHCOM (U.S. Northern Command). Its purpose is to enhance the United States' ability to monitor and track air traffic and other potential airborne threats operating within domestic airspace.
The Joint Based Expeditionary Connectivity Center (JBECC) is both a fixed and mobile system that uses the Raytheon Solipsys Multi-Source Correlator Tracker (MSCT) and Tactical Display Framework (TDF) to create and maintain an accurate, reliable single integrated air picture for homeland defense purposes. JBECC meets a critical need by providing rapidly deployable voice and data link capabilities that interface with the NORAD Contingency Suite (NCS) currently deployed across the country.
NCS provides real-time situational awareness for the commander of NORAD and his staff in the Combined Command Center and at numerous air defense sites. NCS was developed by Raytheon Solipsys working closely with the Air Force to provide a reliable domestic air surveillance solution. It was deployed immediately following the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. NCS also provides the U.S. government and associated affiliates with real-time situational awareness to enable exchange and sharing of mission critical information necessary for immediate command decision making.
JBECC uses the same MSCT and TDF components as NCS and therefore reduces training and maintenance costs through common software and hardware. The system is also capable of extending the integrated air picture to a variety of sites to enhance crisis response capabilities in support of the homeland defense mission.
The 1st Air Force contract was competitively awarded via the GSA (General Services Administration) Schedule for a base year and up to four option years of support, maintenance and continued analysis of the JBECC system for multiple mobile and fixed sites.
Work on the contract will be performed by Raytheon Solipsys personnel on- site at customer locations and at Raytheon Solipsys' headquarters in Laurel, Md.
Raytheon Solipsys, a business unit of Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems, provides innovative and reliable contemporary command and control solutions for the joint warfighter. Distinguished by rapid innovation and an adaptive portfolio of information synthesis, distribution, and visualization products, Raytheon Solipsys supplies capability to the armed forces.
Based in Tewksbury, Mass., Integrated Defense Systems is Raytheon's leader in joint battlespace integration. With a strong international and domestic customer base, including the U.S. Missile Defense Agency and the U.S. armed forces, Integrated Defense Systems provides a wide spectrum of integrated air and missile defense and naval and maritime warfighting solutions.

text: 08/17/2020 - Minutes SALT LAKE CITY BICYCLE ADVISORY COMMITTEE RECEIVED Minutes of the August 17, 2020 Meeting	OCT 06 2020 CITY RECORDER Present from the Bicycle Advisory Committee were Daniel Houpt, David Parrott, Jacquelyn Thiel, Josalyn Bates, Joshua Poppel, Martin Cuma, Todd Hadden and Zachary Anderson. Absent from the Bicycle Advisory Committee were David Brooks, Elicia Cardenas, Gabriela Knudson and Nathan Anderson. Also present were Amy Lyons, Lara Handwerker, Ginger Cannon,Alex, Becka Roolf, Will Becker, Susan Lundmark, Julianne Sabula, and Hugh Van Wagenen. The meeting was held electronically via WebEx and was called to order at 5:ii p.m.by Zachary Anderson. Welcome and Introduction of Members and Guests —Zachary welcomed everyone. Approval of Minutes—Approval of the June minutes was postponed until the next meeting to give the Committee Members a chance to review them. Public Comment —Zach and Lara discussed ways to increase participation in this digital format. They will be calling on each member after presentations are given to be sure everyone has a chance to give their input. This may take more time,but they would rather have good participation on fewer topics than no participation on more topics. Martin began commuting to the U of U again and the sprinklers in Sunnyside Park are sprinkling the roads and sidewalks again. There were some changes when this was mentioned last year but they need adjusting again. He would appreciate if the City would work with them to correct this. Updates from the University of Utah Ginger Cannon Ginger gave a presentation on the engineering and planning part of some bicycle connectivity and infrastructure projects around the U of U. There has been significant progress in that area in the last year and in addition to that,the school semester begins next week. Students are moving back to campus and classes are resuming in a hybrid model which includes both in person and virtual classes, all of which will switch to remote learning after the Thanksgiving recess. She shared the GIS infrastructure map and went through completed projects as well as projects that are still in progress. The Bike/Ped path along Mario Capecchi Drive has been completed and connects South Campus Drive to the 1900 East intersection. Since UDOT put on street bike lanes on Mario Capecchi Drive, there are now on street and off-street options. They have moved Page i of 3 BAC Minutes 2020—08-17-20 forward with Wasatch Drive which includes a roundabout and a dedicated bike lane on both sides of the roadway, including around the roundabout. A connection along Arapeen Drive all the way over to Pollock Rd in Fort Douglas is currently in progress. This will be a paved bike/ped pathway, and they are hoping to begin construction as early as this year. UDOT, SLC and the U of U are working together to redesign the intersection of Mario Capecchi Drive and North Campus Medical Drive. It adds safer pedestrian crossing and was able to be accomplished in part, with the support of the BAC. The design is still being finalized but Ginger anticipates this will be a multi-use path following Medical Drive all the way up to the hospital entrance. There will also be improvements on the north side of the road to make better bike/ped connections to the new Huntsman facilities that are now being built. The University Health leadership has provided funding to build five secure bike parking areas within the Health Sciences campus and one at the Sugar House Community Clinic. These rooms have been designed and will all be covered and secure within a parking structure. Ginger said there are conceptual plans to continue a path along Mario Capecchi Drive to where TRAX may potentially be. There are buildings currently under construction so they aren't sure where those connections may be. In partnership with several other agencies, there was a U of U Campus Mobility Hub Study looking at the university area to see what some of the best locations for a mobility hub would be. This study was just completed and will hopefully be released to the public soon. She showed the Committee one of the conceptual designs and the three preferred sites. She wanted the BAC to be aware that the study is complete and hopes there will be a future presentation around what was concluded when the analysis is done. Presentation on Zoo E, 400 E, 500 E Bikeways Becka Roolf, SLC Transportation Becka gave a history of the bicycle treatments that have been tried on specific streets in the Liberty Wells area which included, 300 East, 400 East, 500 East, 600 East and 700 East. There has been some discussion about what those bikeway designs should be. She gave a presentation with a map showing how all those streets interact together and what is planned for implementation in the fall. After deciding to restore narrow bike lanes both directions on 300 East last year to make it consistent, the Transportation Division decided to consider a southbound bike lane on 400 East to complement the 50o East northbound bike lane. The bike lane on 400 East will be added this fall, with parking remaining the same on both sides of the street. 400 East and 50o East will then have full-width bike lanes, with the other direction on each street with shared lane markings. She showed drawings of the lane striping.This gives people choices as to which design they prefer to ride. Two section of 50o East will also be improved this year: goo South to 1300 South has recently received bike lanes in both directions. After the 500 East reconstruction project ends around Thanksgiving, i7oo South to Hollywood will be striped like i3oo S to 1700 S: a northbound bike lane with southbound shared lane. South of Hollywood(197o South)will be bike lanes both directions to the City line at 2700 South. Becka said the signal at 2100 South and 500 East is the reason to bring it back together. There is no signal at 400 East and the City wants to give people an option to come back over to 500 East or 300 East for a signalized crossing of 2100 South. 600 East will remain a neighborhood byway, with Page 2 of 3 BAC Minutes 2020-08-17-20 improvements to the crossings at 1700 S and 800 S going in this fall. People who want to ride fast can ride in bike lanes next to fast traffic on boo East. Danny said he uses this area a lot and is fan of these plans. Martin said this plan was great and asked if there are plans for a continuation to the north, north of 90o South to have a connection to downtown. Becka said there are possible future routes but no immediate opportunity to do that and gave alternate ideas to connect to downtown. Joshua loves to see the different options, it's the best way to accommodate a lot of riders and riding styles. He prefers to go faster and has been riding up 700 East. He's having trouble with people putting their garbage cans in the bike lane. He would like to put that on the agenda at some point so they can talk about that as well as several other cycling issues. Becka said Transportation can put in a request through the Sustainability Division asking them to post informational flyers on the garbage cans. Ginger said trash cans can be reported through SLC Mobile. Zachary thinks this is great and likes the double lane on 30o East and the combination of north/south lanes being only a block away. Ballpark Station Project Susan Lundmark,SLC Transportation Susan is leading the Ballpark Station Area Plan which is being funded by a grant through WFRC. They will be looking at connections, pedestrian and cyclist comfort as well as sidewalks. The area being looked at is specifically right around the TRAX station but also includes the ballpark area and out to 30o West. The selection committee will be meeting this week to make their final choice on a consultant. She wanted to inform the Committee that this project is imminent and she will reaching out to them again as well as residents, employees and people who use that TRAX station and the ballpark to see what they would like to see in the area. goo West California Avenue Intersection Improvements Will Becker, SLC Transportation Will is working on a project to make improvements to the intersection at 90o West and California Avenue. The public can look at the following link and take a survey there to give their ideas: https://www.slc.gov/transportation/2020/07/08/9oowest/. The focus is making improvements for people walking and biking there. It is an interesting intersection because there are two major streets running through the neighborhood and there are a lot of community destinations at or near, especially for families and children. There are bike lanes on both of those streets,but they also see quite a bit of vehicle traffic moving through the neighborhood to access other parts of the city. He would like as much feedback as possible and encouraged everyone to share the website. He will use that information for a draft design which he will share with the Committee at their next meeting. Lara let the Committee know that the Typologies survey has been extended to the end of the month and asked the Committee to spread the word about that as well. Motion: Zachary Anderson motioned to adjourn the meeting; Todd Hadden seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 6:2o p.m. Page 3 of 3 BAC Minutes 2020—08-17-20

Do you often feel sleepy during the day? Do you feel exhausted in the mornings, despite the amount of sleep you get? Do you snore constantly?
If you answered yes to these questions, you may be at risk for obstructive sleep apnea.
In this post, I will discuss exactly what this condition is, how you can find out whether you are at risk, and what you can do about it. So let's get started!

Q: Inequality involving derivative of a complex function Let $D = B(0,1) \subset \mathbb{C} $ a disc, $f$ holomorphic on $D$. Show that $$ 2|f^{'}(0)| \le \sup_{z, w \in D} |f(z)-f(w)|$$
Furthermore, there is equality if and only if $f$ is linear.
Any hint ?

A: Let $d=\sup_{z,w\in D}|f(z)-f(w)|$.
The inequality is from the Cauchy's integral formula,
$$f'(0)=\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{\gamma} \frac{f(z)}{z^2}dz,$$
By change of variable $z=-\zeta$,
$$
f'(0)=\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{\gamma} \frac{-f(-\zeta)}{\zeta^2}d\zeta.$$
Thus,
$$2f'(0)=\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{\gamma} \frac{ f(z)-f(-z)}{z^2}dz.$$
Taking absolute value,
$$
2|f'(0)|\leq \frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{\gamma} \frac{d}{|z|^2} |dz|=\frac{1}{2\pi}\frac{d}{r^2}2\pi r=\frac{d}{r}. $$
where $\gamma$ is a circle centered at $0$ with radius $r$ for all the integrals above.
Since $r<1$ is arbitrary, we have $2|f'(0)|\leq d$.
For the equality case, refer to this paper by A. Pfluger.

Understanding Hoarding: An Interview with Melinda Beck
Therese Borchard September 2, 2012
I'm a huge fan of Wall Street Journal columnist Melinda Beck. I follow her insightful "Health Journal," and was especially intrigued by her two-part series on hoarding: how to help the hoarder and how to deal with it as a family member or friend. Beck's perspective is unique because she combines her journalism skills with her life experience of dealing with her brother's hoarding, and the crash course she got while helping him move in 2009, due to a foreclosure of his house.
"We filled up five driveway-sized dumpsters with garbage and moved the stuff he would part with to two big storage units and a new apartment—all in five days," she explained to me. "I was desperate to understand why he was doing this and how I could help so I read everything I could about hoarding." In her research, she discovered the large population that is affected by hoarding and decided to write about it in her column. She did not disclose her brother's hoarding at the time the pieces were published; however, since his death last year, at the tender age of 58, she is doing what she can to educate the public on this health issue.
I have the privilege of conducting an exclusive interview with her on this important topic.
1. Can you go over the difference between hoarding and collecting? You say in your article that "collectors are discerning and display their treasures proudly; clutterers and chronically disorganized people are willing and able to clean up and welcome assistance. Hoarders often strenuously resist help and turn a blind eye to the chaos." I ask this because I would define myself as a collector: I love books, magazine, all sources of information; however, my husband (somewhat jokingly, somewhat not) calls me an information hoarder. I do resist. I know that. But I'm also not like the folks on "Hoarders" or "Oprah." Are there any lines that can be drawn?
Melinda: I think there's a spectrum of behavior when it comes to saving stuff. At one end are people who have messy desks and closets and never get around to cleaning them (guilty, guilty and guilty). At the other end are the serious hoarders who have a sea of stuff spilling over every surface and every corner and can't walk through their homes. That's where experts draw the line, by the way: when you can no longer use rooms for their intended purpose or reach exits because of the clutter, that's hoarding. I also think letting rotten food pile up goes over the line. What makes some people move from just messy to the more serious problem, I don't know … there's some break with reality, some emptiness they are trying to fill. But the situation gets worse so gradually that family members don't speak up until it's really out of hand.
Collecting is tangled up in there too. I think a lot of hoarders think that's what they're doing or rationalize it that way. My brother had dozens of candles in glass jars and piles of books on locomotives and fighter planes that he'd never opened and probably 150 large knives, which really scared me. He said he was collecting them, but it seemed more like an excuse to amass things.
As for saving books and magazines and newspapers, I think that's a sign of high intelligence and curiosity. ? But if they're piled up all over the house and posing a fire hazard, that's might be problematic.
2. Why do people hoard?
Melinda: That's the question that haunts me and fascinates me at the same time. I found something called "107 Reasons Why," on a Web site called Understanding Hoarding. A lot of the reasons are written by hoarders themselves. Most of the reasons are submitted by hoarders themselves and they say things like: "Maybe I'm hiding from life behind all this chaos & clutter" and "People can walk out of your life…things don't" and "I don't want to know that I CAN'T improve my life, and I'm afraid of finding out. So by not trying, I will never have to know."
A lot of people can't articulate it, but you can find some clues in the kinds of things they hoard. Some people are terrified of change and are trying to hold onto all the trappings of past lives or loved ones or visions of themselves they prefer to what they've become. My brother had most of the contents of our (deceased) parents' much-bigger house crammed into his, along with stuff he'd amassed on his own.
Some people also get caught up in thinking that things have feelings and will be sad if they're thrown away. It's creepy, I know, but I catch myself thinking that way sometimes… If I had some setbacks in my life, it might not take much to send me into this kind of behavior… I think a lot of people who have hoarders in their families have that secret fear.
3. Animals. I don't understand why some people hoard cats or dogs or bunnies. The whole thing freaks me out a little. Is this a separate kind of illness than, say, stacking up your newspapers in the bathroom? Why animals?
Melinda: I think people hoard animals out of loneliness or because they need to be needed. I've heard that animal hoarders genuinely think they are providing good homes for these cats or dogs or birds or whatever, and it gives them a purpose in life they might otherwise lack. But like other forms of hoarding, it gets out of hand and they turn a blind eye to the smell and the squalor and that pushes them further and further from reality.
4. I know that many professionals say that cleaning out a hoarder's house feels like a violation to the hoarder and does little to help the cycle. But what if the mess is literally a health hazard? I know a woman who was caught between her bed and dresser and social services had to come in and rescue her. Doesn't the family have a right, at that point, to intervene?
Melinda: Speaking as a family member and not a psychologist, I'd say yes, I think family has a right to intervene then – or even sooner if other people are living in the same house with the hoarder.
After I wrote that first hoarding column, I got a lot of mail of readers who had grown up with hoarding parents and said their lives were miserable. They could never invite friends over. They never knew if there would be laundry or food or a place to even sit and eat it. I also heard about elderly spouses of hoarders with no place to sleep or unable to maneuver a walker through the mess.
My heart goes out to hoarders. But it is simply not fair to force other people to live that way too, particularly if it's gotten to be dangerous. And I think the sooner somebody intervenes, the better.
5. You mention a few ways that family members and friends can help a hoarder: by hiring a professional organizer, and by helping the hoarder to learn how to prioritize her stuff. But what if the person resists any help and continuously repeats the cycle. What does the family (or friends) do then? Can you mention a few things that the family and friends can do to help?
Melinda: There are no easy answers to this, which is why so many families of hoarders give up trying to change them. Some experts advocate "harm reduction" – just making sure the papers aren't piled in front of the space heater and there's a path to the door and the bathroom is useable. If you can get the hoarder to accept the need for that and throw away a few things, they may realize that it's not so traumatizing and it might be a wedge to go further. You might try cleaning out just one room and seeing how that goes.
In some ways, being forced to move out quickly like my brother was can be a blessing. You can blame the bank or the sheriff — it's not the sensible family against the nut case. It's true that people often start hoarding again in a new setting, but at least it will take awhile to build up to a dangerous level again.
Working on the underlying emotional issues may be the best approach. Antidepressants might numb the pain enough to let them realize that the clutter isn't serving the purpose they want it to. I really love the advice to create "shrines" or memory boxes if they are still grieving for lost loved ones or lost parts of themselves, with a few important things they can focus on, rather than a big disorganized pile. If you can honor the emotion they're feeling, rather than denying it, they might be more willing to cooperate.
And if feeling abandoned or lonely or purposeless is fueling this behavior, see if you can find something else for them to do to fill up that emptiness—even if it's volunteer job. I didn't have the chance to try that with my brother, but if I had it to do over again, that's what I'd try.

Visually Impaired Graduate Recognised as Most Inspiring Student During MCKL's Graduation Ceremony
Josephine Serena
College Students, Events, Graduation, Inspirational, Methodist College Kuala Lumpur (MCKL)
More than 500 students received their scrolls during Methodist College Kuala Lumpur's (MCKL) graduation ceremony at Dream Centre, Petaling Jaya on 27 January 2018.
Taking centre stage was Celine Lean Yew Lin, a visually impaired student who received the "Most Inspiring Student Award of 2017" for completing her A-Level with flying colours — scoring 2A*s and 2As, in addition to winning the Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards for obtaining top marks in Malaysia for the AS Law Paper.
During the ceremony, Celine gave an inspiring speech that was peppered with the hardships she faced, including the difficulties of securing a place in college after SPM despite her outstanding achievements.
She also expressed her gratitude to MCKL and praised them for taking up the challenge to accommodate her, despite having no experience in teaching the blind.
Celine also took the time to thank her lecturers, the staff and students for providing a friendly and conducive environment during her studies. She illustrated how her lecturers would ingeniously explain and help her visualise drawings, graphs and charts to facilitate her studies.

With over 28,000 inhabitants, Griesheim is the largest town in the Darmstadt-Dieburg rural district and is in the heart of the Rhine-Main-Neckar area. Griesheim stretches across an area of 2,155 hectares, bordering on the leisure areas of Hessisches Ried, Hessiche Bergstraße and Odenwald. Two motorway junctions mean that Griesheim is ideally connected to the Rhine-Main-Neckar metropolitan area and to Frankfurt International Airport.
This open, friendly town has grown organically in recent decades around its beautiful town centre. The people of Griesheim are proud that their home town has been able to retain its original friendly character and the benefits of being a small town, in which people can live and work in peace and security. The town has a healthy social environment with an exceptionally good infrastructure and modern, family-friendly residential areas.
That's why Griesheim is the ideal place to live and work in the Rhine-Main-Neckar area.
Griesheim is in the heart of the Rhine-Main area, with excellent transport connections both by motorway (A5/A67) and public transport. Frankfurt, Darmstadt, Wiesbaden, Heidelberg, Mannheim, Mainz, etc. can all be reached quickly and easily.
Griesheim neighbours the city of Darmstadt. With a population of about 27,000, Griesheim is one of the largest municipalities in the Darmstadt-Dieburg rural district. Thanks to its many modern facilities, Griesheim is not only a popular place to live, but also has a very diverse business infrastructure.
The tram connection guarantees an excellent transport link to Darmstadt. Darmstadt's main railway station and the Darmstadt motorway junction are just a few minutes from Griesheim. From there, Frankfurt Airport can be reached quickly, making Griesheim an attractive location for visitors to Frankfurt's trade fairs, too.
Griesheim's Economic Development Agency is the first port of call for businesses in Griesheim, as well as for potential investors and interested parties. Here, you can find information quickly and easily about Griesheim as a place to live and work in the heart of the Rhine-Main region.
Our work is based on a comprehensive network of contacts with landowners, investors, banks and companies, and cooperation with and within many organisations at a local, regional and interregional level (partners from business and industry).
Economic development is not an end in itself, but rather an active part of the targeted and integrated development of the town of Griesheim. We work actively on location and support investors in setting up new companies, use existing networks, for example to find staff, and offer a consistent marketing concept for the business.
The staff at the Office for Economic Development, Property and Housing in Griesheim are available at all times for any questions and suggestions and to provide assistance in any way.
Short routes, getting you there quickly – that's what Griesheim stands for. The road network within the town is well-developed, accessible and easy to navigate. Modern local bypasses such as the South, North and West ring roads connect the industrial areas directly with Darmstadt and the A5 and A7 motorways – an ideal connection to the international road network. Frankfurt International Airport and Darmstadt's main railway station are easy to reach. A new station for high-speed ICE trains between Darmstadt and Griesheim is in the planning stage.
In the four modern industrial areas - Flughafenstraße, Kirschberg, Rübgrund and Frankfurter Weg – fully developed plots are ready to be used at short notice. Non-bureaucratic and quick: small and mid-sized companies especially will find the best conditions here.
Griesheim's traditionally close relationship with nature and the environment, the geographical proximity to Darmstadt, a centre for science and education, the first-class employment structure and the infrastructural connections provide good arguments for many companies to settle in Griesheim.

Donkey Tail can refer to:

 Euphorbia myrsinites, a plant
 Sedum morganianum, another plant
 Donkey's Tail (, ), a group of Russian Futurist artists in the early 1910s. Marc Chagall was a notable member.


I (Do Not) Want a Medal!
There are over 10,500 followers on the Medtronic 670g support page on Facebook which I am a member of. It's a private group where people discuss the 670g system. Their technical issues with the device as well as challenges with being T1 in general.
Now that the page has so many members, there are a ton of repeat questions clogging up my newsfeed, in addition to some unnecessary complaining, horrid grammar (T1 does not discriminate), and some exceptionally stupid questions. I know, I know – but there are no stupid questions!
This is true, but also true is the fact that people have zero resourcefulness and are also very lazy. You have a manual, you have google. Try that first. That said, it is a support page and it is meant to be a place where people can feel supported, and can talk to other people, as opposed to read a manual, and that is nice. For me, it's interesting to have access to people who are experiencing what I am because I've never had that in all my 20 years as a T1. Fortunately I didn't NEED it, but it is nice to have now. And I have learned a ton from the group about how to work with the pump and sensor.
Sometimes when I post a question, it gets answered, but often, because there are so many people, my question gets buried among the stupid questions and no one responds. Not the end of the world.
My favorite though is when someone posts something like "My cat chewed through my insulin pump tubing! WHAT DO I DO?!" This reminds me of the story I heard years ago about some teenager who fell into a ditch and got stuck in there, and rather than calling 911, or you know, her PARENTS, she posted about it on Facebook.
Make good choices. Use your brain. Remove the tubing, replace it, and replace the cat too.
"My toddler won't stop touching my pump! What do I do?" Be a parent and tell them to STOP TOUCHING THE VERY IMPORTANT MEDICAL DEVICE THAT KEEPS YOU ALIVE.
Then there's this – People are super excited to share the fact that they've received this "award" in the mail from their pharma company. This puzzles me. I feel like the reward for surviving with T1 is, well, still being alive. I do not feel like this is something I deserve a medal for.
If I get one, I'm mailing it right back to them because I don't need extra crap in my house nor do I care to dump it in a landfill.
And also I prefer silver.
All this said, I have also learned that everyone copes with their conditions, T1 or otherwise, differently. One woman posted about how she was diagnosed as a kid and her mom never bothered to learn about the disease, and once she turned 15 the mom stopped coming with her to the doctor. Others deal with illnesses in addition to this one and that's just unfair. Everyone's support system, experience, intelligence level, problem solving skills, and coping abilities are different.
One of my coping strategies is, apparently, being a Negative Nelly about some things.


Back by popular demand! We heard the cries from our customers, "bring back the FS605 frog speaker" and we listened. This popular green fellow adds life to any garden or yard and while he looks cute, powerful speakers components concealed inside deliver excellent sound quality. The FS605 frog speaker is tough and has a durable, Silicon-sealed, fiber-reinforced aerospace grade cabinetry. Leave him outside and he'll be no worse for the wear. Some customers love the sound quality so much they order another one for inside the house--it sounds that good!
Made of durable, Teflon-sealed, Fiber-Reinforced Polyester aerospace grade cabinetry - UV stable. From a custom mold and it looks like the real thing! All speaker components are concealed from view. For indoor or outdoor use. Fully weatherproof and capable of extreme weather. It will amaze you with its full rich sound. Our garden series speakers are perfect for background music or public address. Commercial applications include almost every Theme Park, Zoo, Amusement Center, Leisure Area, Civic Center, Hotel Chain and Golf Course.
I have existing rock speakers around the pool in the landscaping...Can I splice in the frog to add a speaker in between a long span of 2 rocks where I need some sound?
What do I need to be able to hook this up?
I purchased the FS605 frog speaker last year. I did not get the frog hooked up correctly and I have a friend who is going to come over and try to re-wire the speaker so it will work correclty. I am unable to locate the original instructions that came with the package. Does anyone have a copy they could email me?
I can't find the FS605 speakers anywhere. Can't tell if they are Discontinued or just Out of Stock. Assuming they haven't been discontinued, when will you have them back in stock? If they have been discontinued, why??

Our Flaws Are Our Strengths
September 5, 2019 /0 Comments/in Blog /by Ashley Jones
Originally Published on Public Relations Strategery| By: Steve Radick
I get distracted easily. I don't call my mom nearly often enough. I'm sometimes, ok, oftentimes, arrogant. I have constant anxiety over the fact that I give presentations talking about how success isn't measured using impressions and likes, yet I find myself building client reports that do exactly that. I've sent emails complaining about how bad my client is…to my client. I have no idea how to use power tools.
The list of my mistakes and flaws could go on and on. Just ask my wife. So could yours. So could everybody's…if people were willing to talk about them.
But no one wants to talk about their flaws, mistakes, screw-ups and failures. They're embarrassing. They're uncomfortable. They're awkward. They make us seem weak and inadequate.
That's why we use technology to hide every flaw, cover up every defect, and filter every word. Every text, email, post, and Snap is concepted, staged, shot, and shared to emphasize our strengths and optimize our brands.
We can present the absolute best version of ourselves all the time. And that's the problem.
Our flaws are our greatest strengths and we're not only not using them, we're actively hiding them.
Think about the waiter that tells you not to order the fish because it's not fresh.
The car salesman who tells you the car you're considering has a lot of reliability issues.
Or the politician who goes on Saturday Night Live and lets the cast poke fun at him.
Now think about your reaction to those situations.
You don't order the fish, but you do order the pasta the waiter recommended.
You believe the salesman when she directs you to another car she says is much more reliable.
You start to think that politician isn't such a bad guy – you might even say you'd have a beer with him.
These reactions are driven by science. The Pratfall Effect states that people viewed as highly competent are deemed to be more likable following a blunder. And as Robert Cialdini explains in his book "Pre-Suasion: A Revolutionary Way to Influence and Persuade" – when you admit your flaws, people are more receptive to what you say or do next. And several recent studies have demonstrated that while we over-magnify our own flaws, we minimize flaws we see in others.
It's why we still embrace celebrities like Charles Barkley or Britney Spears. It's not despite their scandals and mistakes. It's because of them. It's why celebrities read mean tweets about themselves on Jimmy Kimmel. It's why shows like Worst Cooks in America: Celebrity Edition and Dancing with the Stars exist. It's why Dove's Real Beauty campaign has won every award. It's why Eminem won the final rap battle against Papa Doc.
Psychologically speaking, it's our own insecurities that prevent us from using some of our greatest assets in building and maintaining relationships. We underestimate the power of authenticity, flaws and all. Our flawed reality, no matter how difficult it is to talk about, creates a stronger, more sustainable brand than a perfectly manicured one.
That's why flaws are the basis for PRSA Pittsburgh's annual PR Summit – "Failing Forward." We've all bombed job interviews, flubbed presentations, sent emails to the wrong person, and shared unflattering pictures of ourselves. Instead of hiding from those things, let's celebrate them. Let's turn our flaws into our strengths.

Australia Senior Living Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2023 - 2028)
Region: Australia
Mordor Intelligence
The Australian Senior Living Market is anticipated to register a CAGR of more than 8.5% over the forecast period.
The demand for senior housing has increased in Australia due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is expected to continue to rise in the coming years, driven by a focus on health and well-being and a rapidly aging population. Real estate developers are responding to this demand by constructing standalone senior living projects or dedicated towers with necessary amenities for senior citizens within a larger group housing project.
According to the Property Council of Australia's 2021 Retirement Living Census, multi-story buildings are becoming more common in retirement villages. According to the report, 41% of new towns in 2020-21 were classified as 'vertical' in nature, up from 33% in 2020. Furthermore, retirees are increasingly seeking locations near bustling, vibrant urban villages, where they can access restaurants, shopping malls, and arts and cultural opportunities.
Land in and around these areas is frequently set aside for higher-density living, taken advantage of by retirement village developers. As of 2022, 13 higher-density projects are currently under construction or have recently been completed, given the strong trend toward vertical retirement villages. Some of the projects feature multimillion-dollar apartments, while others have units for under USD 300,000.
Increasing Senior Population and Life Expectancy driving the market
Around a quarter of Australians will be 65 years or older by 2050, with the proportion of younger Australians declining. By 2025, the number of people aged 65 and above will have surpassed the number of children aged 0 to 14. There are twice as many women as men aged 85 and above, reflecting their longer life expectancy. The number of Australians aged 85 and over is expected to rise from 540,000 in 2020 to 1.57 million by 2050.
One in every three Australians over 65 comes from various cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Around 840,000 Australians aged 65 and above were born in another country. Australians have one of the world's longest life expectancies. Men live nearly 80 years, and women live 84 years, 25 years longer than a century ago. The physical health of older Australians is also improving, and most people (82%) are satisfied with their standard of living.
Most older Australians live independently at home - only one in every four people over 85 lives in a care accommodation. Compared to previous generations, rates of volunteering among the "baby boomer" generation - recently retired, healthy, and inclined to give back to their communities - continue to rise.
Adoption of Electronic Health Records (EHR) Driving the Market
As of January 2022, more than 23.2 million Australians had signed up for the national electronic health record (EHR)-My Health Record (MHR), making it a huge success. The adoption of MHR will propel the EHR market in Australia to new heights. Australia's EHR market is expected to grow from USD 161.7 million in 2018 to nearly USD 227.5 million by 2025. EHR adoption will improve healthcare quality while also lowering overall treatment costs.
The MHR system will give the Australian government direct, reliable, and comprehensive access to healthcare data and specific information such as health conditions, hospital visits, and patient services. The government can use this information to develop disease-specific healthcare policies that will help lower morbidity and mortality in the long run.
In MHR, the number of records with data increased by more than 2.16 million in 2021. In January 2022, consumers and healthcare providers uploaded 563 million documents to the system, including clinical documents, medicine documents, and consumer documents. 196K people who had previously opted out have now signed up for a My Health Record in January 2022, up more than 13% from the previous month.
The Australia Senior Living Market is relatively fragmented, with many local players, including Stockland, Lendlease, and Oak Tree Group, as the major players. Fragmentation in the market is expected to increase with new companies and landlords actively developing new housing and villages in the country to benefit from the market.

Island house, Taigh an Eilein (Tiree), p 87:
Tutelary Beings
A gruagach haunted the 'Island House' (Taigh an Eilein, so called from being at first surrounded with water, the principal residence in the island) from time immemorial till within the present century [ Footnote 273 - that is, the nineteenth] the story of the gruagach of Island House is well known in Tiree to this day. The house appears to have been variously joined to the mainland by a drawbridge, stepping-stones or a causeway, but in the eighteenth century the intervening space was filled up with stones and soil (McColl 1792, p/ 402 = new edn, p/ 264; Campbell 1895, p. 14; Beveridge 1903, p. 117; MacDougall and Cameron n.d., p. 116-18; Mac a Phì 1938, p. 60; RCAHMS 1980, pp. 208-209). The orginal castle was demolished in 1748 to make room for the factor's house; no doubt this led to much talk of the gruagach, and to an increase in sightings of her. Brownlie tells a story (1995, pp. 104-105, cf. MacDougall and Cameron n.d., p. 117, and Mac a Phì 1938, pp. 60-61) of how the factor, Malcolm MacLaren or MacLaurine (for whom see Cregeen 1998, pp/ 22-23), unjustly ordered a poor man to fetch an extra load of stone for the masons, to be met with the reply: Mar as àill leat, uasail, ach cùm cluas rium. Cha chuir thusa seachad aon oidhche nad bheatha an Taigh an Eilein. 'I'll do as you command, but you will never pass a night under the roof of Island House." The factor took ill, and in order to give the lie to the prophecy had himself carried on a blanket to the house; before they could get him over the the threshold, he breathed his last.
She was never called glaistig, but gruagach and gruagach mhara ('sea-maid') by the islanders. Tradition represents her as a little woman with long yellow hair, but a sight of her was rarely obtained. She stayed in the attics, and the doors of the rooms in which she was heard working were locked at the time.
She was heard putting the house in order when strangers were to come, however unexpected otherwise their arrival might be. She pounded the servants when they neglected their work.
Extract from 'Waifs and Strays of Celtic Tradition V. Argyllshire Series' Collected from Oral Sources by the Late Rev. John Gregorson Campbell, Minister of Tiree, Selected from the Author's MS. Remains, and Edited by Jessie Wallace and Duncan MacIssac, with Introducation by Alfred Nutt. (London; David Nutt, 1895):
The Browns of Tiree
The Browns of Tiree at the present day are called Brunaich, sing. Brunach, evidently a word not of a native origin, and likely and adaption of the English Brown. Brown as the name of a colour is an English word but not Gaelic, the Gaelic for it being donn, hence as a clan name many affirm that the Brown of the present day is a corruption or modification of Bruthainn certainly the older name, and till very recently, the name given to sept or portion of the Browns. There are also many who maintain the oldest form of all is Mac –'ill-duinn.
Other explanations are also put forward in behalf of the origin of the name, but none of them are satisfactorily conclusive. The following story of how the Browns came first to Tiree is a tradition as like to be true as any other. It was heard from a native of the island, well acquainted with the traditions of his countrymen.
The wife of MacLean of Dowart was a daughter of the Lord of the Isles Her father on visiting her at Aros has found her destitute of table-linen, and on her being spoken to on the subject, she said that there was no place on the estate where lint could be grown. Her father then gave her the island of Tiree as a good flax-growing country, then she might not be open to that reproach any longer. In this way the island of Tiree remained in the possession of the Dowart family till the forfeiture of the clan towards the end of the seventeenth century. The MacLeans seem to have ruled the island with a rod of iron. There is still shewn the hillock called the Bank of the Gallows (Bac na Croiche), where the man who came in last with his rent at collection time was hanged. A party of strong men called 'MacLean's attributes' (buaidheanan Mhic-'illeathain) but more correctly oppressors and bullies, were kept in the island to overawe the people.
This wife of Dowart, with her galley and men, was at Croig in Mull, awaiting for a passage across to Tiree. When teh men were getting the galley in order, a big strong man was observed making his way to the boat, His appearance was that of a beggar, with tattered and patched garments (lùirichean). He quietly asked to be allowed a passage with them. The master of the boat gruffly refused, saying, that they would not allow one like him to be in the same boat with their mistress, but the beggar said that his being there would make no difference, and asked the favour of getting a passage from her. She gave him permission and he seated himself at the end of the boat furthest from her to avoid giving trouble to her. The day was becoming boisterous; it was not long till the master said that the wind was becoming to high, and the day unlikely. A heavy sea was shipped wetting the Lady of Dowart, and the beggar said to the master, "Can you do better?" The beggar replied "It would not be difficult for me to do better than that at any rate. Show me the direction where you wish to go," and on it being shewn to him he added "I think you may go on that you will make land."
"What do you know?" the other said, "it is none of your business to speak here."
The Lady then spoke, and said to the beggar, "Will you take the boat there if you get the command of it?" He said he would, and she gave orders to let him have the command. He sat at the helm and told them to shorten sail, and make everything taut, and now, the boat did not take in a thimbleful of water. They made for Tiree, and the place come to was the lower part of Hynish, at the furthest extremity of the island. The first place of shelter which the beggar saw, he let the boat in there. The little cove is still known as the Port of the Galley (Port-na-Birlinn) on the south side of Barradhu where the present dwellings belonging to the Skerryvore Lighthouse are. The company landed safely, and on parting the Lady of Dowart told the beggar man to come to see her at Island House, where the residence of the Dowart family was at that time, and which is still the proprietory residence of the island. The name Island House is derived from its present site having been formerly surrounded by the water of the fresh water lake near it. It communicated with the rest of the island by means of a draw-bridge, but there being now no necessity for this safeguard the space between the house and the shore has been filled up, and the moated grange has become like ordinary dwelling houses. The stranger wandered about for some time, and then went to the Island House and was kindly received. After a day or two, he thought it would be better to get a house for himself, and the Lady of Dowart said that she would give him any place that he himself would fix upon. Apparently the island was not much tenanted then, and according to the custom of the time, he got a horse with a pack-saddle on, and on the ridge of the saddle (cairb na srathach), he put the upper and lower stones of a quern (bràthainn), one on each side of the horse, secured by a straw or sea-bent rope, and wherever the rope broke it was lucky to build the house there. The beggar-man's quern fell at Sunny Spot (Grianal), now better known as Greenhill. He built a bothy there, and a woman came to keep house for him. By her he had a son, whom he would not acknowledge. When the child was able to take care of itself she went again to him with it that she might be free. He still refused to receive the child and told her to avoid him. She then thought as she had heard from him before where he came from, that she would go with her son to his relatives in Ireland. When she arrived there the child's grandfather received her very kindly. She stayed with him till her son had grown to manhood (gus an robh e 'na làn duine). As she was about to return the grand-father said to his grandson, "Which do you now prefer, to follow your mother, or stay with me?" The lad said he would rather follow his mother, and risk his fortune along with her. They came back to Tiree again, and the son would give no rest till they went to see his father. When they reached the bothy the mother said "you will surely receive your son to-day though you would not acknowledge him before." But he would not any more than at first. His son then took hold of him, and putting his knee on his breast, said, "before you rise from there you will own me as your son, and my mother as your married wife." He did this and was set free. They then lived together and built a house, and houses, and increased in stock of cattle. One wild evening in spring, when they were folding the cattle, they observed a stout looking man of mean appearance coming from Kilkenneth, still a township in that part of the island, and making straight for the house.
"I never saw a bigger man than that beggar," said the son.
"He is big," the father said, "I well know what man it is; he is coming after me, and I will lose my life this night, I killed his brother, but it was not my fault, for if I had not killed him, he would have killed me."
"Perhaps you will not lose your life to-night yet," said the son, "be kind to him, and when he has warmed himself, ask him to go out with us to kill a cow, for the night is cold."
The stranger came in and was made welcome. The old man then said since there was a stranger, and the night chill, they better take a cow and kill it. They went out and brought in the cow. The young-man said to the stranger, "Which would you rather, take the axe, or hold the cow's horn.?" (Co dhiu b' fhearr leis an tuath ne'n adharc). The stranger chose to hold the horn, and blow by which the beast was felled was so sudden and unexpected that the stranger fell with it. The youth immediately fell upon him and kept him down, saying, "You will only have what you can do for yourself, till you tell why you came here to-night (Cha bhi agad ach na bheir thu g'a chionns gus an aidich thu 'de thug so an nochd thu). He told word for word how he came to avenge his brother's death. (Dh' innis e facal air an fhacal mar thainig e thoirt mach èirig a bràthair).
"You will not leave this alive" said the young man, "until you promise not to molest my father while you remain in the country." The stranger vowed, if released he would not offend anyone. He was allowed to remain and they passed the night cheerfully and peacefully (gu sona sàmhach). The stranger returned the way he came. The father and son then settled together, and are said according to tradition, to have been the first Browns in Tiree.
Another version of the story is, that the first settler in Greenhill was a Campbell, and that he was the maker of those underground dwellings (tighean falaich) which still exist on that farm; curious habitations, which are unlike any building now in use, and worthy of closer examination by antiquarians. It is said that there are buildings with similar entrances exposed by sand blowing and covered with a great depth of earth in Tra-vi at the distance of two miles or more further south.
There is a precipice on the west side of Kenavara hill called Mac-a-Bhriuthainn's leap (Leum Mhic-a-bhriuthainn) which one of this sept of Browns is said to have jumped across backwards, and which no one has since jumped either backwards or forwards. The one who took the jump is said to have been chased by a wild ox, which pushed him over the hill, and if he had not been a man of steady eye and limb, the fall would have ended in sure destruction. The place where he leapt was a ledge in the face of a precipice where the slightest over-balance or weakness, would have precipitated him several hundred feet into a dangerous and deep sea. No trained tight-rope dancer ever required more sureness of eye or limb than must have been brought into action in this leap.
In the top of the same hill (Kenavara) there is a well, Briuthainn's Well (Tobar Mhic-a-Bhriuthainn), which is said to have its name from the first who came to the island having, in his wanderings, subsisted on its water and wild water-cress
ONB, p199:
"A handsome modern Mansion House and offices, stone and slated built on the site of an ancient castle and situated on a narrow neck on the south side of Loch an Eilean, the property of His Grace the Duke of Argyll and the residence of His Grace's Chamberlain for Tiree." Under this is written - "Extract from Fullarton's Gazetteer of Scotland: On an island now converted into a peninsula anciently stood a square turreted castle accessible only by a drawbridge and on its ruins was erected in 1748 a house for the Factor of the Duke of Argyll."
Bailtean is Ath-Ghairmean, Niall M Brownlie, Argyll Publishing, 1995, p10:
When the present buildinng was constructed in 1748, the channel was filled in - all the work, including the procurement of stone for the castle being carried out by forced labour. And threby hangs another tale from oral sources. All the crofters from the townships were called on by the factor to carry out the work free of charge. Refusal was not an option even to be contemplated. A poor man who has had to borrow a neighbour's horse and cart in order that he could carry out his allottted task was, of an evening, preparing to go home after discharging his last load. But the factor arrived on the scene and ordered him to go for another load.
Having no alternative but to obey, but still stung to anger by the injustice, he turned to the factor, saying, "I'll do as you command, but you will never pass a night under the roof of Island House." When the building was near to completion, the factor took ill, but to give the lie to the crofter's prophecy, he ordered his servants to carry him on a blanket into Island House. But before they could get him over the threshold, he breathed his last. It is said that Island House is haunted by a brownie."

"I gave him the money because he wanted to fix his car, which had broken down. He had said that he would return my money as soon as possible," she said.
"I honestly wasn't expecting him to break up with me after all the money he was owing me.
"I ended up claiming it for my own benefit since we had broken up," she said.
"There was no date of when payment was to be made so she must not claim the money whenever she feels like it," he said.

In 1903, in the year that Opal Satterfield was born, the Ford Motor Company was incorporated in June after Henry Ford left another car company he founded in 1901 (which became the Cadillac Motor Company). He began Ford Motor Company with $28,000 in cash from twelve investors, two of whom (the Dodge brothers) later began their own car company. Henry Ford improved on assembly line techniques and has been so successful that his family still controls a very popular Ford line of cars and trucks.
In 1924, at the age of 21 years old, Opal was alive when in May, wealthy college students Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb kidnapped and killed 14 year old Robert Franks "in the interest of science". Leopold and Loeb thought that they were intellectually superior and that they could commit the perfect crime and not be caught. They were brought in for questioning within 8 days and quickly confessed. Clarence Darrow was hired as their defense lawyer, getting them life imprisonment instead of a death sentence. Loeb was eventually killed in prison - Leopold was released after 33 years, dying of a heart attack at age 66.
In 1945, at the age of 42 years old, Opal was alive when on April 12th, President Roosevelt died of natural causes and Harry S. Truman, his Vice-President, became the 33rd President of the United States.
In 1956, she was 53 years old when on May 20th, the U.S. tested the first hydrogen bomb dropped from a plane over Bikini Atoll. Previously, hydrogen bombs had only been tested on the ground. The Atomic Age moved forward.
In 1972, in the year of Opal Satterfield's passing, on November 7th, Richard Nixon won re-election, amidst the dawning knowledge of the Watergate scandal, by 60.7% to anti-war candidate George McGovern's 37.5%.

New leeson 3 hp motor for my tablesaw has very little torque, and is less powerful than my old 1hp craftsman motor. What could the problem be?
If the motor is a 115/230 volt motor and is running on 115 volts but the wiring is configured for 230 volt operation, the motor will be weak.
It will not run. With only one wire hooked to both leads there is no potential and no place for the current to flow to. electric bruno.
It depends on what type of account, but if this is your credit card, call the 800 number on the card and report an erroneos charge, they will ask you a series of questions, like, have you contacted the business that has charged your card and tried to reslove it with them. If this is a bank account or checking account you need to conact your bank, you will most likely not get any money back if it was taken from your checking or debit card account. that why it is best to always use a major credit card.
Here is a diagram the contactor needs a 120Volt supply & switch too.
it is possible that the start/run winding is open cicuit or cable connections via the capacitor you mentioned , is it distorted , any sign or leakage . as it is on a stair lift the motor has to be reversed , is the reversing switch intact.
should be a wiring diagram on the wiring cover.
MOTOR SHOULD HAVE A RESET BUTTON.
