The Global SafeGuard backup system is ideally suited for operation in municipal or industrial applications where provision for electrical power failure or duty equipment failure is necessary for essential pumping requirements.
Standby, or backup systems are a critical aspect of facility design in wastewater facilities ensuring that working pumps are available when they are needed.
In the past, standby generators have been installed to supply backup power to the duty electrical pumps when the electrical power is down. However, these standby generator systems themselves can fail due to the very same events that knock out power from the electrical grid. Just as important, a standby pumping system can be available in case of duty equipment failure, including the duty pump, switch gear, or control panel. A standby system can also cover pipe failure if it occurs before the connection valve.
By monitoring water level in the wet well, the engine driven standby pump will automatically start when needed whether as a result of electrical power interruption or equipment failure, and give continuous unattended Auto Priming performance.
The standby system offers a safer environment when performing routine maintenance on the duty equipment.
The standby pump will save you the cost of load testing a backup generator.
Engines can be diesel or natural gas as required.
Units are available in Open or Enclosed configurations.
Standby Pumps can be supplied as permanently installed system.
Diesel engine driven skid or trailer mounted units allow for relocation to various jobsites for other requirements.
Sound Attenuated Trash Auto Prime pumps are ideally suited for standby operations in residential and other areas where noise reduction is paramount.
Large, lockable doors provide easy access to the interior for control, routine service and fueling while all individual panels and doors are removable to allow open access during major overhauls or maintenance.


Holy Father, Your love, patience and perspective amaze me. Your righteousness shines. The earth is filled with your majesty.
I want to be like You. I want to serve. I want to show Your glory to those in darkness.
I ask for strength and wisdom. I will trust You to lead me. Please, I pray, show me the next step and I will trust you for whatever lies ahead.
Every year, in early June, a group of Aggies and Friends step out of their otherwise hectic lives and make a pilgrimage to a predetermined location to...well...bash. This year it was at a rented farm house about 20 minutes south of Brenham, Texas. Brenham is where Blue Bell ice cream is made and the location of their famed contented cows. After spending a few days surrounded by lush pastures, it is not hard to imagine contented cows.
A nice place for several families to bash for a long weekend.
For me, the bash always includes a bike ride. This year the start/finish was Fayetteville. The advertised Bicycle Classic was the following day.
This year, bash buddy Keith, ripped my legs apart.
The Bash always includes volleyball.
What says summer fun more than lime green toe nails?
It would be nice to have all these fine families living next door to me, but God knows best. I believe He might have put them in different cities so that His light is visible far and wide. I didn't take a picture of the traditional hymn singing on Friday night, but when I look forward to heaven...that is what I think of.

A five-year-old outdoor rink at Penticton's Lakeside Resort, large enough for 10 people, is ready to welcome dozens of skaters each and every day this winter. (Logan Lockhart, Western News)
Penticton's Lakeside Resort eager to support outdoor winter activities in 2022
The resort's outdoor skating rink has attracted winter enthusiasts since Dec. 15
Logan Lockhart
It's a picturesque scene that's been loved by Canadians forever — pond hockey being played on a frigid winter day. It's one that Penticton's Lakeside Resort hopes to create each and every day this winter.
Since Dec. 15, the resort has welcomed the public to its outdoor skating rink for some winter fun.
With the view of Okanagan Lake in the background, hockey lovers and winter enthusiasts have made their way to downtown Penticton to check out the five-year-old rink.
According to the resort's general manager Elizabeth Cucnik, people who have skated on the rink thus far couldn't be happier.
"They love it, especially because it's right by the lake," she said. "They have the beautiful view of Okanagan Lake and the Valley and yet they can still be outside enjoying a free activity with their family in the wintertime."
The space is open for skating from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day during the winter. Playing hockey and enjoying the Okanagan views is something Cucnik believes is as important as ever.
"It's encouraging mental health," she said. "For us, it's encouraging people to get out for some fresh air. Mental health and emotional wellbeing are obviously very important for our community so we're happy to support that."
The outdoor rink is large enough for about 10 people, according to the resort's general manager.
"What's nice about it is that because we have a refrigeration unit, it can be operational when it up's to 7 C, so even on a beautiful, warmer winter day, people can still be outside enjoying the skating rink."
From hockey enthusiasts to local families looking for a day outside, the resort has seen just about everyone with skates in their hands looking to step on the ice.
"We've even had ski teams (staying at the resort) who like to use the ice rink who have brought their skates. It's a lovely little add-on feature that we can present to people."
The space is fully licensed and set on the resort's private beach.
And even if somebody chooses not to skate, there's still a way for everyone to enjoy the wintertime scene in Penticton, according to Cucnik.
"You can enjoy a hot beverage of your choice and sit there with your family by the heaters and fire pit. It's quite exclusive and unique."
To arrange private bookings for the rink in two-hour time slots, the resort asks that you contact the front desk or visit pentictonlakesideresort.com/conveniences/ice-rink/ for more information.

Making sure your projects satisfy your customers is an important part of doing business. Customers today have high expectations. They want successful projects to be delivered on time and within budget. While experience can help make sure that happens, getting there can be a struggle – and the costs of missing those expectations can be severe.
Dissatisfaction jeopardizes the lifetime value of your customers, and that matters because acquiring new customers is a costly business. Customer acquisition costs are typically five times as high as retention costs. You have advertising and account handling to pay for, and that figure doesn't even include the uncertain nature of the bidding process. With that in mind, it should come as no surprise that repeat customers are an average of 7.5 times more valuable than one-time customers.
To quantify that difference, imagine that the lifetime value of a customer is equal to the average life expectancy of the customer's business, multiplied by the number of purchases per year they make, times the average revenue of their projects. In this case, assuming a conservative five-year life expectancy, 0.5 projects per year and an average value of $200,000 per project, you find that the average long-term value of a repeat customer is around $500,000. That's half a million in revenue you could lose from an unhappy customer. Don't let it happen to you.
Here are five steps you can take to make sure your projects satisfy your customers every time.
Leveraging a template simplifies that process. For a service-oriented business, having a project template increases the accuracy of your initial estimates by making it easier to identify hidden costs, and it can prepare you for those costs that are often overlooked in the initial bidding. In the hands of trusted advisor, the value of using a template is compounded, helping you to deliver a more mature product than many of your competitors.
Once you have applied your template, leverage historical data to improve the accuracy of your bid even more. Look at where your margins were lost in similar projects. Variances between the planned costs and your actual expenses can give you powerful clues as to where you might need to boost your figures to ensure that the project in question ends up being just as profitable as you planned.
Before you submit your bid, you should also collaborate across departments. Using a modern consumer-grade social collaboration tool that captures conversations, files, and data and provides contextualized suggestions, you can make it easier to understand what might have happened in past projects to impact customer satisfaction. By talking about the proposed project with people who have worked on similar actions, you can gain some clues as to how you can satisfy your customer's needs and avoid common pitfalls.
Next, look at ways to automatically track and apply billables. From hours to expenses, having a tool that seamlessly captures those costs will help you make sure your consultants never miss out on getting paid for the work they complete. Your invoices will be more precise. The virtual paper trail generated by that type of integrated solution not only provides a trace that will be useful in the event of a billing dispute, but can also help make sure that project phases and deliverables are appropriately managed, fulfilled, and billed.
Finally, make sure you are updating your template regularly. As you complete projects, you will be generating quantified proof of best practices, average costs, and commonly overlooked expenses – some of which you may have missed when you developed the template initially. Update your template as you realize these extras expenses. Your customers will be happier, and so will your employees and contractors.

Obama's Brother Shows His Allegiance To Trump…
(TheConservativeNews.org) – Philanthropist Malik Obama, older brother to former President Barack Obama, endorsed the Republican candidate for governor in Pennsylvania, Doug Mastriano, on Sunday.
Taking to Twitter, Malik Obama responded to a post from American conservative author and podcast host Jack Posobiec in which he suggested that the older Obama may like Mastriano and should "check him out."
"If he's with President Trump then I'm with @dougmastriano Pennsylvania Senator PA District 33," Obama responded in a tweet to Jack Posobiec.
If he's with President Trump then I'm with @dougmastriano Pennsylvania Senator PA District 33.
— Malik Obama (@ObamaMalik) October 2, 2022
Former President Donald Trump endorsed Mastriano in the primary race for governor earlier this year, saying in a statement that there is "no one in Pennsylvania who has done more, or fought harder, for election integrity than state Senator Doug Mastriano."
As the November midterms quickly approach, new polling data suggests the GOP have a strong lead in Pennsylvania due to strong foothold in the suburbs.
Attorney General Josh Shapiro, has ducked debating his GOP rival as polls tighten the Democratic nominee for the gubernatorial race.
"Josh Shapiro is a disaster and he's too radical and extreme in Pennsylvania. He's failed us as the attorney general," Mastriano said to Fox News host Laura Ingraham.
Please DO NOT RT this Senator Mastriano video that exposes the brutal crime and violent anarchy that Josh Shapiro has turned Pennsylvania into https://t.co/xtQUyqfznM pic.twitter.com/PxZ97iUqPa
— Jack Posobiec 🇺🇸 (@JackPosobiec) September 27, 2022
This isn't the first time that Malik Obama has expressed his support for Trump. Back in 2016, the businessman told reporters that he planned to travel from Kenya to the United States in November to vote for the Republican presidential candidate. He previously worked in Maryland, where he was a registered Democrat.
"I like Donald Trump because he speaks from the heart," Malik Obama told the New York Post from his home in the village of Kogelo. "Make America Great Again is a great slogan. I would like to meet him," he said.
He also touted Trump as being a "down-to-earth kind of person" who "approaches issues directly and does not mince his words," according to the newspaper.
During that same interview, Obama also said he was disappointed that the FBI had decided not to prosecute Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton over the controversial use of a private email server for public communications while she was secretary of state.
In response to his comments at the time, Trump wrote on Facebook: "Wow, President Obama's brother, Malik, just announced that he is voting for me," adding that he "was probably treated badly by [the] president—like everybody else!"
Malik Obama revealed last month that he has not spoken with former President Barack Obama since 2015 amid differing political views.

Special Olympics World Games athletes arrive in America!
Cece JaneJuly 22, 2015
A picture is worth a thousand words… pictures and video of the scene yesterday as 7,000 Special Olympics World Games athletes arrived in America, landing at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), and then to Loyola Marymount University (LMU) to be processed as World Games Athletes! Each team arrived dressed in travel uniform with bright colors and country names proudly displayed; the airport was a site to be seen as bold colors in groups were scattered throughout the Tom Bradley International Terminal.
At the LMU processing center, the atmosphere was frenetic, joy abounded with dancing, singing, and hugging, despite long delays getting out of LAX. Athletes arrived at the bucolic LMU campus to a red carpet, as other athletes and volunteers cheered them as they walked the carpet into the processing center. The smiles were huge on the faces of the tired athletes who had travelled, some for over 24 hours, to Los Angeles to participate as elite World Games Athletes.
Once the athlete delegations were processed, under National Guard escort, the country teams boarded buses to Host Towns across Southern California to experience the SoCal life for two weeks.
As a Host Town volunteer, I want to personally welcome each and every athlete and their coaches to the United States of America! We are delighted to host you in our country and watch you shine in competition. Reach up LA! Reach up World! Welcome.

Dennis Smith Jr's Three Step Success Plan
Writer: Caleb Akpan
The Dallas Mavericks want Dennis Smith Jr. to be a star, which is obviously not shocking. What NBA team doesn't want is their lottery pick (or any pick for that matter) to dominate the league, be the next LeBron? The problem is, greatness in the NBA isn't guaranteed. If it was, we wouldn't have the Darko Milicics, Greg Odens, and Nikoloz Tskitishvilis (google him) of the world. Despite this, it seems that the Mavs have DSJ on track to reach the more Curry/James side of the NBA equation than going down as one of the greatest mistakes of all-time, stuck in one of dozens of slideshows for "The NBA's Biggest Busts" on the internet. Here's how:
Surround Him With Veterans
The Mavericks have consistently been one of the older teams in the NBA since they won the championship (and even before then). Specifically, they've ranked 30th, 27th, 30th(tied), 30th (again), 28th, and 23rd respectively since 2011. Basically, Dallas was a traveling retirement home until last season. Fans and media members alike have criticized the organization for consistently putting together a team that was experienced enough to get a playoff spot, but too old to do anything with it by the end of the season, and yet, it seems like in a roundabout way they've made it work perfectly for their new point guard.
What's better than learning from an NBA legend Dirk Nowitzki and former All-Star Devin Harris (it happened, I promise) about life in the league? Nothing. The master of isolation, Harrison Barnes is on the wing, and two of the best defenders on the hardwood in Wes Matthews and Nerlens Noel will be there too (hopefully for Noel). Smith Jr. basically has somebody to go to for every kind of play style and personality the league has, and as long as he's ready to learn, the veterans should be ready to teach him.
Hand Him The Keys To The Car
Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle (one of the best in the league, and that's not even a reason in this article) came out pretty quickly and announced Dennis Smith would most likely be the Mavericks' starting point guard on opening night. This came as a shock to some as Carlisle has usually been associated with making young players earn their minutes, or just not giving them minutes at all (RIP AJ Hammons experiment). Smith Jr. is obviously a bit of a different case than others being drafted so high, but the fact that Carlisle was so quick to put him over Mavs veterans like JJ Barea and Devin Harris, who have each played with the franchise for eight separated season, is telling. DSJ must have shown them something that lets the team know he is truly ready to lead an NBA franchise, and one with players who have much more experience than he does.
Let Him Sign a Shoe Deal That is Destined for Greatness
This last one is pretty simple. Dennis Smith Jr. recently signed his first endorsement deal with Under Armour. Who's Under Armour's leading man? One former back-to-back MVP, reigning NBA champion, and possible best shooter of all-time Stephen Curry. Obviously Smith Jr. and Steph probably won't be best friends, but if Smith Jr. can even learn a thing or two from Curry being under the same brand, the Mavericks and their fans will be happy.
Dennis Smith Jr. can be the Mavericks' next franchise player. In part because he's clearly talented, and in part because the Mavericks have set him up very nicely. It's now up to the young stud and the team to put these things together and make this new situation work.

The California New Car Dealers Association Scholarship Foundation (CNCDA Foundation) has for twenty-six years offered an annual "CAR CAREERS" grant program aimed at nurturing college student interest in the automotive industry and helping grow the future workforce. 2021 marked the first year that the CNCDA Foundation provided its scholarships under a new grant structure, which offered significantly larger award amounts to student recipients and was designed to ensure geographic diversity of the awards across the state.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, an estimated 46,000 automotive service technicians and mechanics will be needed to fill roles through 2026. Against this backdrop, the CNCDA Foundation is helping increase awareness about the value of a career in the automotive trades, and helping educate students, families, teachers and businesses about the dynamic technology and mechanical skills needed to repair today's complex vehicles.
"California is leading the way with innovation in the auto industry and with adoption of electric and autonomous vehicles, which means that we also have to lead the way in training our future auto technician workforce," said Brian Maas, CNCDA President and CNCDA Scholarship Foundation Vice President. "We are excited to have this scholarship program which is directly aimed at attracting people to the industry and helping them get excited about the many valuable career opportunities available in the auto tech field."
In September, the CNCDA Foundation announced four winners in each of the five regions across the state, who were awarded $5,000 each to cover education and training expenses. Additionally, one student, Vincent Lagasca, was selected as the overall statewide winner, receiving an additional $5,000 for the Peter K. Welch Honorary Scholarship. The full list of 2021 grant recipients can be found on the CNCD website.
"We were very impressed with the students who applied for this scholarship program and are proud to be able to support them as they pursue promising careers in the auto tech industry," said Maas. "The auto technology ahead of us is more challenging and interesting than ever before, so we need many more motivated students like our winners who are eager to jump in and fill the thousands of good-paying auto tech jobs in California."
Nikolai Hansen, a grant recipient from Solano Community College stated, "What interests me most about the automotive industry is how important cars are to our culture in America and how much people depend on the industry to produce, maintain, and repair automotive vehicles. From getting to work each day or driving across the country to visit family, we all depend on our vehicles to get us where we need to go."
Since it was founded in 1993, the CNCDA Foundation has awarded scholarships to 1,346 students. This represents a total impact of more than $1 million in support for California's future auto workforce. The CAR CAREERS grant program will be offered again in 2022 – information on program specifics and the application process can be found on the CNCDA website.

Solskjaer does not regret EFL Cup 'risk' as Man Utd crash out
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer acknowledged he took a "risk" with his Manchester United team selection in the EFL Cup, but he defended the approach despite a defeat to West Ham.
United had beaten the Hammers in dramatic fashion in the Premier League on Sunday but lost 1-0 in Wednesday's third-round cup tie at Old Trafford.
Manuel Lanzini's early goal proved the difference, with United failing to turn their 61 per cent possession and 27 attempts into an equaliser.
While Solskjaer's side remain competitive in the league – level atop the Premier League alongside Chelsea and Liverpool, this defeat extends their wait for silverware, having last lifted a trophy in the 2016-17 Europa League.
Solskjaer gambled with United's involvement in the competition, though, making 11 changes, even if this was also a very different West Ham team from the previous clash at London Stadium.
"Twenty-seven shots shows everyone gave it a good go," United manager Solskjaer said. "I can't fault the attitude at all.
"A little bit of good fortune could have gone our way, and a little more quality, maybe a decision here or there [that] we don't seem to get at the moment.
"It's a clear penalty for Jesse [Lingard] again, Mark Noble falls and pulls him down. You can't dwell too much on that.
"I've never actually won this tournament – that hunt will have to keep going, because it's a trophy I'd like to have.
"But we have to make decisions to get the squad up to speed for the rest of the season. Sometimes you have to make changes, take risks, and we did."
He added: "Every game is important, but you can see by the team selection that we've always used this competition – when I've been here at the club – to give minutes for the ones who need it, because we know it's a very long season."
West Ham face EFL Cup holders Manchester City in the fourth round.

No fans allowed for Reggae Boyz upcoming home matches against Mexico, Costa Rica
Jamaica's Reggae Boyz will once again be without fans for upcoming home World Cup qualifiers against Mexico and Costa Rica as the government looks to put measures in place to combat the recent spike in coronavirus cases.
The country has played the majority of its matches behind closed doors, so far, with the lone exception being its last match against the United States, which allowed for 5000 vaccinated spectators to be present.
With 15 more COVID deaths, 1,548 new cases, and a positivity rate of 51.5 percent, as of Tuesday, however, the Government has decided to return to closed-door measures. The Reggae Boyz have been the only team in the octagonal round that has been affected so severely by coronavirus restrictions, with many other teams sticking to the practice of limiting the numbers of fans allowed at the venues.
Jamaica, however, has the lowest vaccination rate of all the countries participating in the qualifiers with just 557,000 persons fully vaccinated, representing just 20.4 percent of the population.
The Reggae Boyz will be hoping to make a late run to book a place at this year's FIFA World Cup having found themselves well off the pace midway through the qualifiers. The team is currently 6th in the standings on 7 points, seven short of the final qualification spot. The team will kick off the next round with a match against Mexico on January 27th, followed by a trip to Panama three days later and a home fixture against Costa Rica on January 30.
Mona kicked out of Walker Cup final for use of ineligible players
Mona High has been removed from the final of the ISSA Walker Cup after being found guilty of using ineligible players.
Mona was expected to face defending champions St Catherine in the final of the competition, on Saturday, after securing their spot last week with a resounding 5-0 win over Kingston Technical.
However, following a decision handed down by ISSA on Tuesday, it is Kingston Technical who will now replace Mona in the final. The issue stems from the school's use of two ineligible players during the semifinal of the Walker Cup.
During the Manning Cup quarterfinal against St Andrew Technical, two Mona players, Ronaldo Jones, and Carlton Brown received red cards. While Jones received a straight red card, Brown got two yellow cards. Neither should have been eligible for the Walker Cup semifinals but were still used in the fixture.
"If a player receives a "red card" he automatically misses the next scheduled match in the competition in which he is eligible," the release issue by ISSA stated.
Mona is coached by Phoenix All-Star Football Academy manager Craig Butler.

Q: if the input value is in between two values then display the result I have a SQL table with three columns "From","To" and "Equivalent Value". Each value is shown below:
From        To           Equivalent Value
1,001.00    2,000.00     200.00
2,001.00    3,000.00     300.00

Now if the user enters the value "1,200.00" in textbox1 it will display the result value to textbox2 which is "200.00" because that is the corresponding value of between "From" and "To.
Another condition, if the user enters the value "2,500.00" in textbox1 it will display the value "300.00".
So far, I have tried this code but no luck:
Dim conn As SqlConnection = SQLConn()
Dim da As New SqlDataAdapter
Dim dt As New DataTable

conn.Open()

Dim cmd As New SqlCommand("", conn)
Dim result As String

cmd.CommandText = "SELECT [Equivalent Value] FROM tblSSS"
result = IIf(IsDBNull(cmd.ExecuteScalar), "", cmd.ExecuteScalar)
da.SelectCommand = cmd
dt.Clear()
da.Fill(dt)

If result <> "" Then
    If TextBox1.Text >= dt.Rows(0)(1).ToString() And TextBox1.Text <= dt.Rows(0)(2).ToString() Then
        TextBox2.Text = dt.Rows(0)(3).ToString()

    End If
End If

A: If I have got this right I think there are a couple of things I would change which may help you:

*

*Use Using. This will dispose of the SQL objects once finished with.

*Use SqlParameters. This will help with filtering your data.

*Remove the use of SqlDataAdapter. In this case I don't feel it's needed.

*The use of IIf. I will be using If which has replaced IIf.

With these in mind I would look at something like this:
Dim fromValue As Decimal = 0D
Dim toValue As Decimal = 0D

If Decimal.TryParse(TextBox1.Text, fromValue) AndAlso Decimal.TryParse(TextBox1.Text, toValue) Then

    Dim dt As New DataTable

    Using conn As SqlConnection = SQLConn,
          cmd As New SqlCommand("SELECT [Equivalent Value] FROM tblSSS WHERE [From] >= @From AND [To] <= @To", conn)

        cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter With {.ParameterName = "@From", .SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Decimal, .Value = fromValue})
        cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter With {.ParameterName = "@To", .SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Decimal, .Value = toValue})

        conn.Open()

        dt.Load(cmd.ExecuteReader)

    End Using

    If dt.Rows.Count = 1 Then
        TextBox2.Text = If(IsDBNull(dt.Rows(0).Item("Equivalent Value")), "0", dt.Rows(0).Item("Equivalent Value").ToString)
    End If

End If

Note the use of Decimal.TryParse:

Converts the string representation of a number to its Decimal equivalent. A return value indicates whether the conversion succeeded or failed.

This is an assumption that the From and To fields in your database are Decimal.
Now to explain the difference between IIf and If. IIf executes each portion of the statement even if it's true whilst If executes only one portion. I won't go into detail as many others on here have done that already. Have a look at this answer.
As per Andrew Morton's comment and more in line with what the OP attempted here is a solution that uses ExecuteScaler.

ExecuteScaler executes the query, and returns the first column of the first row in the result set returned by the query. Additional columns or rows are ignored.

With this in mind:
'I reset the value of TextBox2.Text. You may not want to.
TextBox2.Text = ""

Dim fromValue As Decimal = 0D
Dim toValue As Decimal = 0D

If Decimal.TryParse(TextBox1.Text, fromValue) AndAlso Decimal.TryParse(TextBox1.Text, toValue) Then

    Using conn As SqlConnection = SQLConn,
          cmd As New SqlCommand("SELECT [Equivalent Value] FROM tblSSS WHERE [From] >= @From AND [To] <= @To", conn)

        cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter With {.ParameterName = "@From", .SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Decimal, .Value = fromValue})
        cmd.Parameters.Add(New SqlParameter With {.ParameterName = "@To", .SqlDbType = SqlDbType.Decimal, .Value = toValue})

        conn.Open()

        Try
            TextBox2.Text = cmd.ExecuteScalar().ToString()
        Catch ex As Exception

        End Try

    End Using

End If

I have used the example on the ExecuteScaler MSDN documentation. You might want to look into handling the exception on the Try Catch a little better and not letting it go to waste.
You may want to place this code on the TextBox1.Leave method or maybe on a Button.Click method. That's totally up to you.
There may a few changes you may need to make however I think this will give you a few ideas on how to move ahead with your code.

A: Hope it Helps...
Dim connetionString As String
Dim cnn As SqlConnection
Dim cmd As SqlCommand
Dim sql As String

connetionString = "Data Source=ServerName;Initial Catalog=DatabaseName;User ID=UserName;Password=Password"
sql = "SELECT [Equivalent Value] FROM tblSSS WHERE [FROM]<=" & Val(TextBox1.Text) & " AND [TO]>= " & Val(TextBox1.Text)

cnn = New SqlConnection(connetionString)
Try
    cnn.Open()
    cmd = New SqlCommand(sql, cnn)
    Dim count As Int32 = Convert.ToInt32(cmd.ExecuteScalar())
    cmd.Dispose()
    cnn.Close()

Catch ex As Exception
    MsgBox("Can not open connection ! ")
End Try

Bang & Olufsen Beovision Harmony is a shape-shifting TV spectacle
Chris Davies | Apr 8, 2019
You can usually rely on Bang & Olufsen to make home entertainment tech that's almost more exciting than the media you play on it, but even by those standards the new Beovision Harmony TV is an ostentatious spectacle. The new TV, launched at Milan Design Week, dips into the classic B&O themes of theatrical movement and animation, rising and flourishing like a high-tech butterfly.
This Samsung Display 15.6″ UHD OLED is headed to premium laptops
Chris Davies | Jan 22, 2019
If you've been holding off on a laptop upgrade until the next big thing in screen tech arrives, Samsung Display has some excellent news for you. The company has shown off its latest OLED panel, a 15.6-inch Ultra HD screen that it says is the first such UHD display for the notebook market.
2020 iPhones may drop LCDs entirely
Eric Abent | Jan 22, 2019
While you can certainly argue that Apple arrived late to the OLED party, iPhones boasting the display tech have been slowly taking over the company's yearly device lineups. It may not be long before Apple decides to fully embrace OLED, which of course means leaving LCD in the dust. That's something Apple has been hesitant to do thus far, opting instead of offer LCD iPhones along costly OLED models.
LG OLED Falls is the mesmerizing CES 2019 display the tech was born for
LG may have a rollable OLED TV to release this year, but it risked overshadowing its own flagship with its incredible LG OLED Falls installation at CES 2019 this week. The latest in a line of Consumer Electronics Show demoes of the company's display prowess, it comes after the LG OLED Tunnel in 2017 and the LG OLED Canyon in 2018.
LG's rollable TV is slick enough to silence any skeptics
Chris Davies | Jan 8, 2019
The LG rollable TV is going on sale in 2019, and while you might be skeptical about the practical benefits of flexible, you can't help but be wowed when you see the screen in person. Shown off in production form at CES 2019 this week, the LG Signature OLED TV R can be both as expansive as a flagship 65-inch set, but as discreet as a chunky soundbar.
Samsung Flexible OLED display coming to iPhone 11
Chris Burns | Dec 12, 2018
This week industry sources suggested that Samsung Display reached an agreement with Apple to supply iPhones with flexible touch OLED. These same sources said that it's likely the next iPhone will work with flexible touch OLED displays. It's likely Apple will only use this flexible OLED display on one singular iPhone, while the rest will continue to use slightly more traditional means of touchscreen tech with displays as separate components.
Samsung foldable phone gets an official preview date
Chris Davies | Oct 31, 2018
Samsung will preview just how its foldable smartphone will work next week, the company has confirmed, as it counts on new form-factors to lift plateauing mobile sales. The company has been known to be working on a folding phone for some time now, generally known as the Galaxy X, though exactly how it will operate and what specific advantages it might offer over a traditional device have been closely-kept secrets.
iPhone XS Max snatches DisplayMate crown from Galaxy Note 9
JC Torres | Sep 24, 2018
And so it begins. In the past, Samsung and Apple each had their own separate thrones in DisplayMate's kingdom, with Samsung lording it over OLED smartphones while Apple reigned triumphant among LCD mobile screens. With Apple's switch to OLED in the iPhone X last year, the narrative was destined to become a pendulum swinging back and forth between the frenemies. Now that has become reality with DisplayMate giving the title of best smartphone display ever to Apple just a month after it said the same for the Galaxy Note 9.
ZTE Nubia phone has a back-facing screen, but why?
Chris Burns | Sep 17, 2018
The ZTE Nubia Z18S has both a bonkers name and one display up front and another display around the rear. The most common reaction to the first appearance of this smartphone on social networks is simply the word: "why?" Because ZTE decided they needed to snag a headline after so much bad press over the past year? Maybe it had to do with the idea that we've not had a phone like this in a while, and ZTE decided "maybe if we try this same idea again, it'll work different this time!"
Samsung's folding phone may come early (this year!)
Eric Abent | Sep 4, 2018
It may not be long before we finally lay eyes on Samsung's long-rumored foldable smartphone. The company has indicated that it'll reveal the phone before we close the book on 2018, which is definitely an interesting revelation for a number of reasons. While that might not (and probably doesn't) mean a 2018 launch for such a device, it does mean that we'll finally get to hear about a phone that has been the topic of a lot of discussion over the couple of few years.
Xperia XZ3 leak points to some interesting changes
JC Torres | Aug 29, 2018
As the saying goes, don't judge a book by its cover and that may exactly apply to the Sony Xperia XZ3. At least to some extent. With less than 24 hours before it is formally announced, we're getting one last unofficial look at Sony's late 2018 flagship. And if this is really what the Xperia XZ3 will be like, then it might actually be more interesting than we initially thought. Sadly, it might also disappoint us in one specific aspect which, in retrospect, isn't that surprising at all.

More trails on the way
State officials plan to open two more sections of trails with more in construction and planning stages
More trails on the way State officials plan to open two more sections of trails with more in construction and planning stages Check out this story on delawareonline.com: http://delonline.us/1uHqsyC
Molly Murray, The News Journal Published 8:37 p.m. ET Nov. 17, 2014
The new trail at Gordon's Pond state park has had an estimated 40,000 bikers and hikers use it since it opened in June. (Photo: The News Journal/GARY EMEIGH )Buy Photo
Gov. Jack Markell said he was vacationing in Lewes this past summer and was biking the new Gordons Pond trail most mornings.
One day, he started talking to a family from Oklahoma. The couple had been to North Carolina, Maryland, New Jersey and lots of other places on the east coast looking for a new place to settle.
"Their reaction was incredible," Markell said.
After they discovered the trail – which opened in June – they told Markell they signed a contract on a beach house in Delaware.
"This is really powerful stuff for economic development," and for Delawareans it can be a path toward better health, he said.
The Gordons Pond trail has had an estimated 40,000 bikers and hikers use it since it opened in June, said Susan Moerschel, chief of planning for the state Division of Parks and Recreation.
The Junction and Breakwater Trail, which also links Lewes to Rehoboth, typically gets about 39,700 people each year, she said. The two trails combine to form a 16-mile loop between the two resort cities. Dozens of people use the trails to commute to work and avoid beach traffic along Del. 1
She said about 10,500 people in the Lewes and Rehoboth area live within a 10-minute bike ride of a trail.
Where trails have opened, they have drawn users. The Fresh Pond Trail, near Bethany Beach and Ocean View gets some 17,000 users each year. Later this year, state officials hope to advertise for construction bids for a 1.4-mile section of a planned trail along Assawoman Canal.
"It's a start." Moerschel said.
At the state Department of Transportation, more trails are near user-ready through the First State Trails and Pathways Program.
Since 2012, seven trails have been completed, nine are under construction, eight are in development and 14 are in the planning stages, said Shailen Bhatt, state Transportation Secretary.
A new section of the Mike Castle Trail along the C & D Canal and a new piece of the Capital Trail in Dover will open in the next few weeks.
One reason for the interest in trails is a statewide initiative to get people outdoors and more active. The trail report came Monday at the 2014 Outdoors Summit, held at the Stockley Center near Millsboro.
Seventy percent of the state's adults and 40 percent of children are at an unhealthy weight and instances of adult diabetes are on the rise, said Dr. Karyl Rattay, director of the state Division of Public Health.
Rattay said these types of health issues are preventable.
"We have a lot of work to do," she said.
Rattay recognized three municipalities and one organization for efforts to get residents and visitors outside and active: Seaford, Newark, Fenwick Island and the Rehoboth Beach-Dewey Beach Chamber of Commerce.

Discussion in 'iPad Hacking' started by ztariqz, Aug 31, 2010.
I have used the jailbreakme method on my ipad since its been out, but I have been faced with more and more apps crashing as soon as they launch, some bought from the app store (eg numbers.. call of duty) I have tried using other sources to download these apps but with same results. Restarting iPad has not helped either.
Next best option was to try to restore the iPad. Now that 3.2.2 is out I did not want to update, I have used the "make my life easier" button in cydia and have tried to ctrl+restore method on itunes but with no use.. either get the 3002 error, or not eligible to update error or so on. Have updated the hosts file in /etc, have umbrella running before and after hitting restore button ..
Question is how can i restore the SAME firmware on the iPad? Do I have to upgrade to 3.2.2 so I can downgrade back? What am i doing wrong?
What is the main reason for those apps crashing anyway? I have heard memory leaks and so on but if I have restarted the iPad freshly it should be fine? I have memory capacity more than 60% (of 64gb) full but that should not be an issue should it?
If your 3.2.1 SHSHs Blops is saved correctly, go ahead and try it!
Note: I'm sure about downgrading from 3.2.2 to 3.2.1 again, but I'm not sure if this will help your Apps to be OK. I don't know exactly if you can restore from 3.2.1 to 3.2.1 (The Same Firmware) I know the common way, the one that is upgrading to the latest version and then returning to the previous Firmware with Saved SHSHs.
Yes, my SHSHs Blop is saved with Cydia and have checked it with TinyUmbrella as well.. i was 100% sure if i take the plunge to update to 3.2.2 and downgrade again.. but I guess you have confirmed to me that is safe to do so!
Though the main reason I want to do this is to get these apps running again, any possible reasons as to why the could be crashing? I mean I had Numbers purchased from the AppStore before performing any jailbreak. Jailbreak and tens of new apps later, Numbers stopped running. Tried to delete it and reinstall, downloaded it again of the Appstore and used other "sources" to download the app all to the same result! Quite frustrated as to why this happens to certain apps only! Any possible reasons?
As you, I think the solution is by restoring the iPad to 3.2.2 and then to 3.2.1, I would restore my iPad if TinyUmbrella says "you can restore safety to 3.2.1 or 3.2" otherwise if it says "you can restore to 3.2.2" I do not recommend to restore because is probably that you can't downgrade again.
Actually, jus checking again, found out that in fact the SHSHs saved is for 3.2.2 - i guessed i clicked that button a little too late in Cydia.
So basically, since I have no SHSHs blop but running a jailbroken 3.2.1 there is no way I can restore to the same firmware anymore??
what does it mean will not restore ipad firmware?

Then I thought about how Christians are supposed to be like Jesus, but that process can take a long time. For many years, I barely read my Bible, and I did not have a desire to go to Sunday school—I only went to Sunday morning worship. Although I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior when I was 19-years-old, it's only been since October of last year that I've been reading my Bible and praying consistently. Progress takes time—sometimes a lot of time. We need to be patient with ourselves— we will fail and "mess up," but we need to forgive ourselves; then we need to focus on the next day rather than looking back.
I may want a flat stomach now, but I have to be consistent with my workouts and not expect immediate results. In the same way, I have to keep pressing forward in my Christian walk—I can't expect to be like Jesus unless I keep reading and studying His Word, and I have to keep in mind that change will be slow. I can't get discouraged because things are not changing as fast as I would like—I just have to keep focused on the end goal. Hebrews 12:1-2 has the following, "…let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith…" (NLT).


Are you looking for GED® testing in Russian Mission AK? The GED® test is only given in person and not online. Typically in order to sit for the examination the test taker must be over 17 years old. The GED® testing cost in the state of Alaska varies from $40 to $90.

This fun Nightmare Before Christmas parody hit the interwebs last week and its too good not to share. In the video Nick Stockwell, who does a pretty damn good impression of Jack's singing voice, plays a young man who discovers beer on his 21st birthday. If you'd like to compare, you'll find the original song after the jump.

Le jumelage de mitrailleuses (souvent abrégé en JM) est une arme composée de deux mitrailleuses montées ensemble sur le même axe de tir (jumelées). Il s'agit d'une arme adaptée aux fortifications car capable de tirer en continu sur une longue durée. Ce système fut utilisé en France pour servir d'arme principale à la ligne Maginot.

Historique

La ligne Maginot est avant tout une ligne de casemates assurant une ligne de feu continue avec des mitrailleuses le long d'une double ligne de barbelés et de rails enterrés, le tout couvert par des tirs d'artillerie. Le début de la construction des ouvrages de la ligne à partir de 1928 a donc entraîné le développement d'un nouveau modèle de mitrailleuse, bénéficiant des avancées technologiques dans le domaine de la mécanique des armes à feu (reprenant le système de fonctionnement par emprunt de gaz) et les études menées pour la nouvelle munition de  (celle du FM 24/29).

Le résultat fut adopté le  sous le nom de mitrailleuse MAC 31 (Manufacture d'armes de Châtellerault modèle 1931), surnommée « mitrailleuse Reibel » du nom du colonel Reibel directeur de la . Les premiers essais de tir sont faits le  à la casemate du Bois-de-Kanfen-Est (numéro C 43, dans le secteur fortifié de Thionville). La ligne Maginot est équipée avec plusieurs centaines de ces jumelages.

Après la campagne de France de 1940, les forces d'occupation allemandes firent démonter plusieurs de ces jumelages pour les stocker ou les installer sur le Mur de l'Atlantique.

Un peloton de jeep blindées utilisa des jumelages de ces mitrailleuses, plus rarement en solo au sein de la Légion étrangère en Indochine durant le conflit pour les escortes de convois de ravitaillement et ouvertures de route sur les RC (routes coloniales).

Versions

Les mitrailleuses sont montées sur des modèles de trémies couvrant les canons des mitrailleuses presque jusqu'à leur extrémité. Selon la position de la mitrailleuse dans le jumelage, elle a sa fenêtre d'alimentation à droite ou à gauche. La majorité des jumelages installés dans des casemates sont montés avec un canon antichar sur le même créneau, dit alors créneau mixte JM/AC, les deux armes étant permutables entre elles.

La MAC 31 de forteresse (d'autres versions existent pour les chars de combat et pour l'infanterie) est livrée en trois versions, la MAC 31 F, la MAC 31 T et la MAC 31 TM. Le modèle F (« fortification ») est un jumelage avec une poignée par mitrailleuse, un carter de ventilation et un collecteur d'évacuation des douilles. Les modèles T (« tourelle ») et TM (« tourelle mixte ») n'ont pas de poignée ni de crosse, un câble servant de détente.

La MAC 31 F a été montée sous casemate ainsi que sous cloche (modèles JM et AM), la MAC 31 T servait sur la tourelle modèle pour mitrailleuses 1935, tandis que la MAC 31 TM était montée sur les tourelles modèle pour AM et modèle pour AM et mortier.

Chaque jumelage est livré avec quatre tubes de rechange et deux cylindres à gaz de rechange.

Caractéristiques

Le jumelage est basé sur le principe du tir par alternance des tubes, permettant ainsi à une des deux mitrailleuses de se refroidir, simplement par air, mais aussi par eau injectée en cas d'urgence (pulvérisateur Vermorel par buse dans le canon). Le tir ne se fait que par rafales, il n'y a pas de sélecteur. Les cadences de tir prévues sont dits de harcèlement (lent  :  par minute, soit un tiers de chargeur) d'interdiction (normal  : , soit un chargeur) ou de barrage (accéléré  : , soit trois chargeurs). En cas de besoin, il est prévu un tir rapide (tir accéléré avec les deux mitrailleuses à la fois, mais très court avec un demi-chargeur chacune).

Ces cadences de tir assez faibles sont prévues pour limiter l'usure des tubes  : leur espérance de vie, théoriquement un maximum de  (usure des rayures et déformation par la chaleur), étant augmentée grâce au principe du tir alterné et grâce au système de refroidissement par eau. La dotation en stock était de  par jumelage pour une casemate d'intervalle, de  par jumelage sous cloche ou créneau dans un ouvrage et de  par tourelle de mitrailleuses.

Today, Bir Tarfawi, Kharga and Dakhleh Oases all sit in Egypt's hyperarid Western Desert. A dearth of naturally occurring surface water coupled with ≤ 0.1 mm/y of precipitation, and evaporation rates > 2 m/y make Bir Tarfawi uninhabitable today, while Dakhleh and Kharga depend on borehole water to support human inhabitation. Yet in scattered locations dotting the Quaternary surfaces and deposits near each oasis, Paleolithic artefacts, fossil ungulate teeth, and snails record times when surface water did exist in wetlands, small ponds, and even large lakes. At Bir Tarfawi in Marine Isotope Stages (MIS) 5, 7, and 13, wetlands or small lakes supported freshwater snails, large herbivores, and hominins. Dakhleh Oasis hosted a large lake in MIS 6 that provided a deep reliable water supply for many millennia subsequently. ESR dates on fossils and tufa dates show thriving lacustrine and terrestrial ecosystems at Dakhleh during MIS 5, 7, 9, 11, and 17, and in shorter episodes in MIS 1, 2, 3, 6, and 12. At Kharga Oasis, springs discharged along the Libyan Escarpment edge, but the water was ponded in small basins dammed within tufa deposits. These dated deposits and fossils attest that water existed there in MIS 2–11, and one spot dating to ∼ 2.3 Ma. This proxy evidence suggest that, thanks to higher rainfall and/or groundwater tables, sufficient water persisted for much of the Pleistocene, supporting food resources, like large herbivores and molluscs, to thrive and enabling hominin habitation. and activity in the Western Desert.

This is the second article of a three-part series on Pei Qi's Taobao Home Makeover.
Having had a clear idea of what they wanted their home to look, sourcing the right furniture came naturally for homeowners Pei Qi and Zhong as well.
'Dark wood, mid-century modern furniture. Those were the key elements we knew we were going for,' says Pei Qi immediately when asked. With their home sporting hints of navy blues and olive greens, darker hues and clean, smooth lines pair splendidly for a look that's fun and classy.
Psst: Enjoy free shipping on the 3-Seater sofa with Ottoman (Blue)! Click here for more details.
Frequently sourcing for decor buys and other items on Taobao, it helped that Pei Qi is pretty experienced shopping on the site herself!
Along with their interior designer Tayllen from Authors • Interior & Styling, we speak to the three of them about their experience and their go-to tricks when shopping on Taobao.
Pei Qi (PQ): We were looking for mostly dark wood furnishings, at least for the living area.
Zhong (Z): It was rather instinctive, I'd say. We had a theme in mind, and we just needed to make sure the furniture pieces visually fit into the look.
Psst! Enjoy free shipping on the Wooden Dining Set. Click here for more details.
PQ: Zhong and I mainly did the furniture shopping ourselves, but we'd take screenshots and photos and send it to Tayllen to get her 'endorsement'. On the other hand, I'm basically Zhong's personal shopper (laughs). I'd do the first cut - identify the items we need for each living space, research and shortlist the pieces, then send him a list - with photos and links - for him to check out and choose one or two he likes best.
PQ: It's definitely more convenient than going to physical stores. I can shop anytime, anywhere I want, I don't have to wait for a store to open! Considering weekends are the only time that we're free, there aren't a lot of furniture stores that open till late, and we basically have to rush from store to store. There's none of that when you're shopping online. Although I can't say that it really saves time, as we actually spent a long time searching and scrolling through stuff or going back to look at things again!
Z: There's a lot of variety I guess? You get to see a huge range of items at one go, unlike physical furniture stores where the selection is usually limited. Also, you won't really know what to expect, until you're at the store. Sometimes, the trips aren't as productive as compared to online shopping, especially if you don't find anything you like.
Z: For me? The language.
PQ: Mainly, whether the items are going to turn out like what you see in the photos! There aren't as many real reviews on furniture as say, clothes or household items, so finding photo references of furniture on Taobao is a little challenging.
We were also a bit wary about items that you can customise, as you don't know how it will turn out! For instance, you can select different fabrics for your chair, but you only get to see a swatch on the screen, so it's hard to envision how it'll translate on an actual piece.
PQ: For me, using and searching on the site was okay, as I've bought a couple of things from Taobao before, and I consider myself pretty savvy in that aspect. But of course, there will always be hits and misses, and certain things won't turn out as nice as expected. Fingers crossed that everything comes out well when they arrive!
Lastly, some Taobao shopping tips!
PQ: Get a reliable forwarder - if you're buying fragile furniture items with glass, mirrors, etc., always make it a point to let the forwarders know beforehand so they can handle it with care.
PQ: You'll also notice that the way they describe certain items is different - for instance, they use <茶几>, not <咖啡桌> to describe a coffee table. It's just a matter of taking time to get the hang of things. And while Mandarin is a huge hurdle to overcome to make the most out of the site, you can simply go to any furniture shop on Taobao, copy common phrases or keywords used to describe a particular item, and paste them into the search bar.
Psst: Enjoy free shipping on the Nordic Mini Bedside Table! Click here for more details.
Tayllen (T): Otherwise, you can put multiple similar keywords into the search bar to widen your scope.
PQ: Another way of discovering items is to click the <找相似> button available on each item in the search results. This way, you can see related or similar items in that style.
T: You can also save a picture of an item you like, upload it onto the site, and Taobao will generate a list of visually similar items for you to choose from. From there, you can even see the different vendors that supply the same product, compare prices and check out their ratings.
Next up, it's the big reveal! We take a look at the final result of Pei Qi's mid-century modern resale flat, complete with all the furniture items from Taobao in. Will expectations meet reality? Read on to find out!

Blowout loss to Ravens places Lions coach Jim Caldwell firmly on hot seat
Fans want change after Lions loss to Ravens
DETROIT – Jim Caldwell, the winningest Detroit Lions head coach in the Super Bowl era, is now firmly on the hot seat.
Caldwell, who has lead the Lions to the playoffs two of the last three years, is facing heat from Lions fans after a sloppy loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
The Detroit Lions are now 6-6 after two straight losses to probable playoff teams. The Lions now find themselves with a steep uphill climb to a playoff berth.
It's not impossible, but it's improbable. The Lions are now four games behind the Vikings in the NFC North and two games out of a wild card spot.
The battering in Baltimore on Sunday was an ugly showing for a Lions team with playoff hopes.
Joe Flacco threw for 269 yards and two touchdowns, and the Baltimore Ravens survived a strong comeback bid by Matthew Stafford and the Detroit Lions in a 44-20 victory Sunday.
Flacco helped Baltimore take a 20-0 halftime lead and directed three scoring drives in the fourth quarter to keep the Ravens in front.
The loss had Lions fans taking to social media - and they were all ready to blame one person: head coach Jim Caldwell.
Caldwell signed a contract extension last year, but that doesn't mean he's untouchable.
"I just gotta do a better job coaching. Not good enough," Caldwell told the media after the loss to the Ravens on Sunday. It's something Lions fans are tired of hearing.
Fans were especially heating after the Lions appeared to only have nine players on the field while the Ravens sprinted into the red zone, eventually scoring in the fourth quarter.
How many times do the Lions have to go into games ill prepared before we fire Jim Caldwell?
— n i c k (@nicker_bockers) December 4, 2017
So, what do you think? Should the Lions fire head coach Jim Caldwell?

I love it when I find a great toy that really holds Nora's attention and causes her to use her imagination! This little shopping cart was bought on a whim and oh my goodness is she obsessed!
It came with little boxes of food and some little cans. She loves to push it all over the house, take everything out and then put it back in!
These are the kinds of things I love experiencing when I am at home with her. Watching her grow, play and learn is just so much fun!

Eight 'Must Know' Hunting Details About Florida's Wildlife Management Area System
By Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission // January 7, 2021
FWC is the lead manager or landowner for 1.46 million acres
If you have hunted a wildlife management area or are planning to, the following information can help you make the most of Florida's public hunting areas, understand how these hunting opportunities are managed, and contribute to the process of developing hunting-related rules for WMAs. (FWC image)
(FWC) – If you have hunted a wildlife management area or are planning to, the following information can help you make the most of Florida's public hunting areas, understand how these hunting opportunities are managed, and contribute to the process of developing hunting-related rules for WMAs.
■ Most WMAs are owned or managed by entities other than the FWC
The majority of Florida's 6-million-acre WMA system is managed or owned by government agencies or private landowners the FWC has partnered with.
The FWC is the lead manager or landowner for 1.46 million acres and works with cooperators to allow hunting and other outdoor recreation on another 4.54 million acres.
WMAs are managed for conservation and recreation and provide a diversity of habitats managed for wildlife.
■ WMAs are for everyone
There are over 184 areas across the state in the WMA system, from Perdido River WMA in northwest Florida to Southern Glades WEA in the south region and all points in between.
These areas are managed to conserve a variety of wildlife species and provide outdoor recreation opportunities. Certainly, hunting is a mainstay on Florida's WMA system and offered in the vast majority of areas.
These public areas also provide opportunities for fishing, wildlife viewing, paddling, hiking, horseback riding, and bicycling.
Some areas even offer shooting range facilities and camping.
■ A variety of hunting opportunities are offered at WMAs
Hunters can choose from quota hunts, special-opportunity hunts, and public hunting areas where a quota permit is not required to hunt.
Depending on the WMA and time of year, hunters can pursue deer, turkey, waterfowl, wild hogs, dove, quail, gray squirrels, and more.
The FWC also issues permits for hunting on several U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service national wildlife refuges in Florida (but does not manage those hunts).
■ Florida's Quota Hunt Program serves multiple purposes
Quotas, which are the maximum number of hunters permitted to hunt on a WMA during a given period of time, provide hunters with quality hunting experiences.
In addition to managing game populations, quotas are used to prevent overcrowding on WMAs that are smaller or in high demand.
The number of quota permits available for each area is based on an area's size, habitat, game populations, and hunter preference, and are issued through random draw lotteries throughout the seasons.
Quota permits also allow the FWC to offer hunts to a broad range of users. People can apply for youth, family, and mobility-impaired quota hunts as well as archery, muzzleloading gun, and general gun quota permits.
Quota hunts are also offered for deer, wild turkey, wild hog, quail, dove, and waterfowl.
Quota permits are issued at no cost to hunters; however, unless exempt from license requirements, applicants must have a valid Florida management area permit (or license that includes a management area permit) to apply.
■ Special-opportunity hunts are… special!
These hunts are designed to provide high-quality public hunting experiences through large tracts of land, low hunter quotas, and abundant populations of deer, wild turkeys and wild hogs.
Hunters can submit as many applications for special-opportunity hunts as they want.
In fact, many hunters submit several applications to increase their chances of being awarded a permit via random draw.
There is a $5 non-refundable application fee that must be submitted with each individual application. Permit fees range from $50 to $175 for those awarded a permit through the random drawing.
■ Stakeholders are an important part of the rulemaking process for WMAs
The public has many opportunities to provide input during the rulemaking process for WMAs, beginning with submitting their ideas for rule changes to the FWC.
After proposals go through an extensive review process, stakeholders have several chances to provide input on recommended rule changes.
In addition, public testimony opportunities are provided at each Commission meeting after draft rule changes are presented.
If the Commission approves the proposed rule amendments for advertising in the Florida Administrative Register, the FWC continues to seek feedback from stakeholders until rule changes are presented for final adoption at a future Commission meeting. (FWC image)
If the Commission approves the proposed rule amendments for advertising in the Florida Administrative Register, the FWC continues to seek feedback from stakeholders until rule changes are presented for final adoption at a future Commission meeting.
To learn more, visit MyFWC.com and click on "About Us" and then "Rules and Regulations."
■ Improvements to the WMA search tool were made based on stakeholder feedback
The FWC's new WMA search tool, WMA Finder, was developed to help users find public hunting opportunities based on location, season, species, and type of hunt.
WMA Finder also helps users search for fishing, camping, horseback riding, and shooting range opportunities on our WMA system. Early users of this tool were vital to the software testing process, and their input prompted the FWC to make improvements to WMA Finder.
In addition to enhancing the search tool, the FWC offers a video about Avanza Maps, a free mobile app that lets you track your location in real-time on FWC's WMA maps. Find the video and more at MyFWC.com/WMABrochures.
■ The following tips can help you plan a stress-free visit to a WMA
Before you head afield, we recommend you carefully review the WMA regulations brochure for the area you want to hunt because season dates and other rules may vary from statewide seasons and other WMAs.
Also, before visiting a WMA, always check the area's open/closed status to determine its availability to public access and if there are any road closures or updates about check stations or entrances. You can find this information by visiting MyFWC.com and clicking on the red button "WMA Closures and Updates."
In addition, WMA regulations brochures and maps are only available online and access to WMA regulations brochures is through the WMA Finder only.
If you want to take the WMA regulations brochures and area maps with you, even to places internet access isn't available, we recommend taking a screenshot with your smartphone, downloading the files to your mobile device or printing them.

Practice makes perfect! If you are looking into building your own practice basket and don't have access to a welder this is a great design take a look at the video, there are also written plans below. If you have any questions send Chris an email.
put the 4 in like they were corners then place the next 4 in between the existing 4 and screw them down as well.
when you come around to the start try to cut it as close as possible then tape it well with electrical tape.
To add firmness and support to the top rim double it up by adding a second layer of tubing taping it tightly to the top rim as you go around. make sure the tubing is directly on top of it. also try not to put any of the seems in the same place in the circle.
Now remove the brackets from the wood and they should hold there shape.
Cut the 16" circle out of the piece of wood also cut the hole in the center for the pole.
Repeat for the inner holes.
The basket is almost done.
cut pieces of tubing to fit in between the to ribs on the face of the shelf bracket to prevent any damaged discs and tape them to the bracket.
Make big tape circles with the electrical tape abot a 1/2 inch apart on every 3rd spoke half way in.
**if the rim fits inset to the pole** push the wood down gently about a half inch.
Secure the wood block in place by using a 1/2 " self tapping screw through the pole into the wood.
Slide the basket up from the bottom of the pole until there is 19" in between the top of the basket rim and the bottom of the tire as shown in discatcher dimension pic.
Secure it to the pole with the self tapping screws through the 3 existing "L: brackets on the bottom of the basket.
it should be 54" so subtract what you need off the bottom and your GOOD TO GO!
