Simply give us a call and we will answer any questions you may have about the 85027 dumpster rental procedure, allowed materials, size you may need, etc.

You can fill your dumpster as full as you like, so long as you don't load it higher in relation to the sides of the container. Over filling the dumpster could cause the waste or debris to slide off as the dumpster is loaded onto the truck or as the truck is driving. Overloaded or overweight dumpsters are not really safe, and businesses WOn't take dangerous loads in order to safeguard drivers and passengers on the road.
In certain areas, dumpster loads must be tarped for security. If your load is too high, it WOn't have the ability to be tarped so you would have to remove some of the debris before it can be hauled away. This may lead to additional fees if it needs you to keep the dumpster for a longer duration of time. Don't forget to maintain your load no higher in relation to the sides of the dumpster, and you will be good.
2. Give you and also the rental business lots of time. It's best to phone ahead at least a week or two before you need the dumpster. If you try to schedule an appointment earlier than that, you could have a limited assortment.
3. Keep in touch with the rental business. If anything changes in your program, contact the business when possible to permit them to know. This way you can adjust the appointment as needed without limiting your options.
Whether or not you desire a long-term or roll-off dumpster depends upon the kind of job and service you need. Long-Lasting dumpster service is for enduring demands that continue longer than just a couple of days. This includes matters like day to day waste and recycling needs. Temporary service is just what the name indicates; a one-time need for job-specific waste removal.
Temporary roll-off dumpsters are delivered on a truck and are rolled off where they will be used. These are typically larger containers that can manage all the waste that comes with that special job. Long-Lasting dumpsters are generally smaller containers because they are emptied on a regular basis and so do not need to hold as much at one time.
If you request a long-lasting dumpster, some businesses require at least a one-year service agreement for this dumpster. Rolloff dumpsters just need a rental fee for the time that you simply keep the dumpster on the job.
The most frequent dumpsters contain 10-yard, 20-yard, 30-yard, and 40-yard models. When you are in possession of a little project, including clearing out a garage or cellar, you can likely benefit from a 10-yard or 20-yard dumpster. When you have a larger project, including an entire remodel or constructing a brand new home, then you'll likely need a 30-yard or 40-yard dumpster.
A lot of folks decide to rent a larger dumpster than they believe they will desire. Although renting a larger dumpster prices more cash, it's more economical than having to an additional dumpster after a small one gets complete.
Paying a flat rate usually means that you simply get to prevent any hidden fees and costs. Firms which do not charge flat fees may contain extra costs for basic services like dropping off the dumpster. Keep in your mind, however, which you still might have to pay extra in case you would like to include certain items and materials in the dumpster.
As with any service, it's always a great strategy to reserve your dumpster as far ahead as you possibly can in order to ensure that the dumpster will be available when you really need it. Should you wait until the very last minute, there's no guarantee that the company will probably manage to fill your order.
Two or three days notice is usually adequate to ensure your dumpster delivery on time. Remember that the most active days have a tendency to be on Mondays and Fridays (encircling the weekend), thus if you can plan your mission for the middle of the week, you've a better possibility of getting the dumpster you'll need.
Planning ahead for your dumpster rental in 85027 will make your project easier and safer to finish on time. When renting a dumpster in 85027, follow these suggestions to help you plan ahead.
Rubbish removal vs dumpster rental in 85027 - Which is good for you?
If you own a job you are about to undertake at home, you may be wondering if it is better to hire someone to come haul off all your garbage and rubbish for you, or in case you should only rent a dumpster in 85027 and load it yourself.
Renting a container is a better option in case you'd like the flexibility to load it on your own time and you do not mind doing it yourself to save on work. Dumpsters also function well in the event that you have at least seven cubic yards or more of debris. Roll-offs usually begin at 10 cubic yards, thus if you just have 3-4 yards of waste, you are paying for much more dumpster than you need.
Trash or junk removal makes more sense if you'd like somebody else to load your old items. Additionally, it works well if you'd like it to be taken away immediately so it is outside of your hair, or in the event that you only have a few big things; this is probably cheaper than renting a whole dumpster.
Most dumpster rental businesses in 85027 have clear-cut policies that will help you realize exactly how much it costs to rent gear. Following these tips will help you stay away from hidden fees when renting a dumpster in 85027.
A lot of businesses will charge you extra for keeping the dumpster longer than agreed. Be sure to plan ahead so you can keep the dumpster for an appropriate timeframe. You must also ask about additional fees so you will learn how much extra days cost.
What Size Dumpster Should I Get for a Residential Clean Out in 85027?
When choosing a dumpster, though, it is often a good idea to ask for a size larger than what you think you'll need. Unless you're a professional, it is tough to estimate the precise size required for your project. By getting a somewhat larger size, you spend a little more money, however you also avoid the possibility you will run out of room. Renting a larger dumpster is nearly always cheaper than renting two small ones.

Much of the talk lately has been focused around the 'new' Skype for Business, and that is to be expected. But a side conversation has started inspired by Robin Gareiss' article, "Evaluating Cloud UC Costs". This is an important topic and, if we can, begin to nail down how to measure the overall costs we will all be able to support these projects in a more concrete manner.
All those costs are real, and so is the trepidation of organizations about not only the cost but vendor lock-in. What is missing though is how new automation technologies not only reduce deployment costs by 60%, but future-proof the deployment so it can be simply moved to another cloud vendor, or back on-premise.
As you'll read, Robin does a great job of showing how on premises UC is more expensive the first year, largely because of the capital expenditures for the added computing and communications hardware. Of course hardware providers provide attractive lease options to level out much of this cost so companies can more easily justify in-house solutions. However, even with that option, the cost per user for in-house is much higher the first year since companies have to build/buy hardware and software to support X users and initially only 5% of X will use the new system.
Total cost of ownership (not on per seat basis) is higher for in-house at first but as more users begin using the system cloud services begin growing very rapidly in proportion to not only the number of users but the volume of use/user. This cost can be hard to predict and so cloud computing costs can begin increasing rapidly with no way to control them or predict how much the cost will be in the future. That is scary for any business.
So how can you level the playing field a bit to make the move to the cloud less scary (and costly)? In addition, what if I want to bring it back in-house? That is where costs get really hefty and you get stuck. Obviously the more you can automate and replicate the UC deployment, the better off you will be today and tomorrow. For example, we have seen this work with our Skype for Business deployments.
And yes, we all love cold hard savings, but it's really the replication that provides a higher level of agility, something Eric Krapf of 'No Jitter' recently discussed. Ultimately, as usage grows, companies naturally begin looking for alternative cloud services or may even have the desire to bring the service back in-house. But now, the automation you did for the initial deployment is still all there and can be redeployed whenever needed. This gives a greater sense of ease for businesses, because there is no cloud vendor lock-in.

Now we know Singapore football is truly hopeless
By CRCApril 25, 2017Current
TL;DR – What a sordid mess!
In 1998, then-Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong set Goal 2010. The aim was for the Singapore national football team to reach the 2010 FIFA World Cup Finals in South Africa. 2010 came and went. We didn't get anywhere near to qualifying for the World Cup Finals. Then 2014 came. And went. We didn't get anywhere near qualifying for the World Cup Finals.
It's 2017. And we are already out of the running for a spot in the 2018 World Cup. Not only that, the FIFA ranking of our national team has fallen drastically since 1998. We used to be ranked 81 in 1998. Today, we are ranked 159.

There are a total of 211 national associations in FIFA. So while we aren't exactly at rock bottom, we are pretty close. How did Singapore football get to such an abysmal state? The root causes are fairly complex. But recent events can give us some ideas of why Singapore football is so hopeless.
The $500,000 donation
For the first time in donkey years, the leadership for the Football Association of Singapore (FAS), the governing body of football in Singapore, is to be elected, not appointed. Any illusion that this would improve the state of football in Singapore is quickly dispelled by the farce of the campaigning.
It all started when Mr Lim Kia Tong, the current interim President of FAS, alleged that his opponent Mr Bill Ng, chairman of football clubs Hougang United FC and Tiong Bahru FC, as wanting to be the President of FAS he is "only interested to gain some mileage".
That prompted Mr Ng to hit back. He alleged that the FAS had asked him to donate $850,000 to it through his clubs Tiong Bahru FC and Hougang. Mr Ng intimated that Winston Lee, the FAS general secretary, arranged the donations without the knowledge of other FAS council members. That led to a whole long sordid exchange of "he said, she said".

Regardless of who said what, the whole $500,000 donation incident says a lot about the administration of football in Singapore.
Did the donation help Singapore football?
One question that the $500,000 donation raises is this. What was it used for? Ostensibly, the donation went to the ASEAN Football Federation's (AFF) Football Management System, a "system" that almost no one had heard of until last week.
Given that football in Singapore isn't exactly flushed with cash, every cent counts. $500,000 is a huge sum of money compared to what's available to develop football in Singapore. Why did that much money go to some regional system rather than on developing football in Singapore? How does that help develop football in Singapore? Could the money not have been better spent?
For instance, only $70,000 was spent on organising grassroots competitions. Clubs involved in these grassroots competitions provide a base and platform for players to train and develop and serves as a channel for budding players to turn professional. It is estimated that FAS need to spend about S$400,000 annually to ensure that these clubs were sufficiently funded and that the leagues were properly run.
Speaking of how FAS spends its money, FAS paid its key management personnel $1.8 million in the financial year ending March 2016. The key management personnel include the general secretary, and CEO of S.League. Of the key management personnel, the highest paid personnel earns between $400,001 to $500,000. In contrast, national players in the S.League are paid between $4,000 and $10,000 a month.
But at least FAS spends the majority of its money on football related activities. That isn't the case for Tiong Bahru FC. Tiong Bahru FC had an annual revenue of $36.7 million in the last financial year from its fruit machines (a fancy name for jackpot machines). It paid out around S$23 million in winnings in 2016.

From the balance of $14 million, it paid its 15 employees $2.073 million in salaries in 2016, and also forked out an additional S$528,000 for staff training, uniforms and staff welfare. It paid around S$960,000 in total rent in 2016 to the unit's landlord, Polygon Venture. That's about $80,000 per month and works out to be $31 per square foot.
What's strange about the rent is that it's quite exorbitant compared to other units in the area. The club house is in the basement. Other units on the same floor are charging between S$2.92 and S$11.23 per square feet in rent. The only unit charging S$31.50 per square feet in rent is located at street level.
Things get fishier when you consider that Polygon Venture, the landlord, is owned by Bonnie Wong Yuk Ying, who shares the same same residential address as Mr Ng, the club's chairman. Also, consider that the total rent paid for the clubhouse is substantially more than what's the paltry $169,000 that is actually spent on the football team.
And it's not as if Tiong Bahru FC couldn't afford to spend more on the football team. After accounting for all its expenses, the club made a profit of about $604,000 in 2016. So it seems that the primary business of a football club in Singapore isn't about football, but about operating jackpot machines instead.
Bad impression
While it's not fair to say that all the football clubs in Singapore are like Tiong Bahru FC, but this latest revelation really creates a terrible impression. But the management of Tiong Bahru FC, the spending priorities of FAS, and the curious case of the $500,000 donation really don't inspire confidence in the management of football in Singapore.
To make matters worse, police have raided the headquarters of the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) and three football clubs. The raids were triggered by a police report filed by SportsSG. This is SportsSG's statement:
"SportSG also made further checks, which raised other serious questions about the use of Club funds. Based on legal advice, SportSG decided to file a police report on 19 April 2017 at about 7:50pm, in respect of suspected misuse of Tiong Bahru Football Club's funds and a purported attempt by a senior officer of the Club to delay and/or obstruct the completion of audits into the S.League sit-out clubs."
After the raid, four people have been arrested. They are Hougang United chairman Bill Ng and his wife Bonnie Wong, FAS general secretary Winston Lee, and ex-FAS president Zainudin Nordin. They are now assisting the Commercial Affairs Department (CAD) with the probe into the suspected misuse of funds, and an attempt by a senior club official to obstruct the completion of audits of the S.League's sit-out clubs.
All hope lost
Neil Humphreys, long-time observer of Singapore football, sum up this situation best:
"To the casual observer, Singapore's only professional sport looks like a dispiriting basket case of back-handers, back-slappers and ladder-climbers, all focused on personal ambition rather than the game itself.
That's the long-standing perception and after a week of petty claims and counter-claims, the perception now presents itself as reality. It's all about greasing palms and making friends in higher places."
Given how sordid it has become, you would be forgiven if you have lost all hope in Singapore's football. The only silver lining is that we are probably at rock bottom. The only way from now on, surely, must be up. Or so we hope.

Find Shelter For Me – Rockaway New York
Many people ask "Why don't they leave and find shelter", today we are walking the path of the residents of Rockaway. This isn't an attempt to judge, or criticize any system or tool, as we work with every one of these great groups. The Rockaways residents refer to the situation best when they say "it is what it is". This is to help the public understand the challenges on the ground at the local level.
Hurricane Sandy struck the Rockaways on Monday October 29, Humanity Road arrived on Sunday November 4. Gas was being rationed, and there were no gas cans to be bought in any store that we passed once we crossed the NJ/NY state line. Once we arrived on Rockaway Peninsula, there was no power for 17 miles and therefore no shelters and no gas. With power out, seven days into the disaster many citizens had no way to listen to radio, TV or even make a phone call. They came to the church for news. We searched the Red Cross tool and discovered that the closest Red Cross shelter was located more than 21 miles away.
On Wednesday November 7 the day of the Nor'easter, we were notified that a bus was being made available to transport anyone willing off the island to the closest shelter. Flyers were printed, and hurried out the door to as many locations that could possibly be reached. One apartment complex alone contains 800 apartments in three different buildings 12 stories high. How do you reach that many that quickly with only a few hours? Some residents, who have working cars, have no gas, or no way to carry the gas back to their cars, and some can't even navigate the stairs due to mobility issues with elevators not working.
But assuming I can overcome all these challenges; where can I go for shelter?
Today is November 21, 2012 and it has been more than 20 days since Rockaway Peninsula New York was devastated by the historic storm known as Sandy. As part of our mission statement, again today we tried researching available shelter for zip code 11694 which is the location of St. Francis De Sales church and School in Belle Harbor. The search returned three separate suggestions from three separate shelter finder tools in three different directions. Here are the results.
Google Crisis Map Shelters
According to the Google Crisis Map, the nearest shelter is at Franklin Delano Roosevelt High School at 5800 20th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11204, USA which is just under 10 miles away north of Rockaway. Google Crisis Map provides ability to navigate to this location which is very helpful. Source: http://www.google.org/crisismap/2012-sandy-ny However, according to NYC.Gov the large shelters are now closed and the public is urged to go to the Disaster Recovery Centers. Source: http://www.nyc.gov/html/misc/html/2012/hurricane_shelters.html .
Red Cross Shelter Finder Tool
According to the Red Cross Shelter Finder, there are three shelters nearby but I cannot tell which one is nearest. The shelter finder tool does not give directions to the site. It does however, show the address and a DONATE NOW hyper link to make it easy for displaced persons looking for shelter to donate to Red Cross right from the shelter finder tool. [Question? Is it in bad form to request a donation from someone who is in the midst of disaster and seeking shelter?]. It would be more helpful to have placed a mapping tool hyperlink to assist the displaced person in navigating to the shelter. Source: http://www.redcross.org/find-help/shelter
FEMA Instructions on Shelter
FEMA advises the public to send a text message to inquire about the nearest shelter. Source: http://www.fema.gov/sandyAfter sending a message saying 'Shelter 11694', the response I received said the nearest shelter is the Mt Manresa Jesuit Retreat Center, 239 Fingerboard road, Staten Island, NY 10305 but the response warned to 'check with your local emergency management agency for availability and services'. According to Google maps, this location is 15 miles to the West.
So far, there is a possibility of three separate locations not quite confirmed they are available to me, not all from the Red Cross and no idea how I could get there, who I should call before going to confirm that they are still open, or who how or where to inquire on how I could be transported there.
Today is day 23, just another day on Rockaway.

Conservation buffers are an effective and cost-efficient best management practice that can be used to improve water quality. They can be different-sized areas or strips in permanent vegetation that minimize soil erosion by reducing surface runoff. Conservation buffers also can trap and degrade a portion of runoff adsorbed to sediments or dissolved in water; they are seldom effective in trapping all pesticides in runoff. Conservation buffers can be used along with other best management practices to protect water quality.

Capsule and Softgel Advancements for Dietary Supplements
Maureen Kingsley
Nutritional Outlook, Nutritional Outlook Vol. 19 No. 9, Volume 19, Issue 9
Today's capsules and softgels rise to the needs of both ingredients and consumers.
A nutritional supplement is only as good as its delivery vehicle. While ingredients and formulations might be of high quality and value, if they're not delivered in a way that protects them from degradation and appeals to the consumer, that supplement is not, ultimately, worth much.
Indeed, "dosage forms for delivery of ingredients can make as big a difference in consumer satisfaction as the ingredients themselves," confirms Missy Lowery, senior manager, marketing, Capsugel (Greenwood, SC). "Delivery forms can maximize the chance of achieving the most benefits from ingredients, too," she adds.
Fortunately, supplement brands have a wide selection of delivery systems from which to choose, and the companies supplying those systems continue to innovate and respond to consumer interests and demand.
Among the myriad delivery formats on offer-including tablets, gummies, melts, shots, chews, sprays, and more-capsules and softgels remain useful, reliable, and economic options, providing quality-protection to the formulations they contain and benefits to the consumer. Increasingly, capsule and softgel suppliers are developing varieties appealing to vegetarian, non-GMO, gluten-free, and "clean" lifestyles and that add value in the forms of increased supplement bioavailability and targeted release.
Effective, Protective, Targeted
Capsules and softgels, while perhaps not as trendy as their gummy, liquid-shot, or inhalable counterparts, remain economical, effective, and beneficial choices for supplement brands-and for good reasons. Both hard capsules and softgels can mask the bitter, pungent, or otherwise off-putting flavors and odors of such ingredients as marine oils (particularly krill oil) or herbs (such as valerian root and garlic), and, in most cases, they can do so without the addition of artificial ingredients or flavors.
A second advantage offered by both hard capsules and softgels is protection from oxidation or spoilage of the encapsulated ingredients. Supplier Catalent Pharma Solutions (Somerset, NJ) points to softgels' lack of headspace or air pocket as the primary mechanism by which oxidation is eliminated or reduced, while supplier Capsugel attributes the protection afforded by hard capsules to that format's low permeability.
Beyond these benefits, capsules and softgels can be customized and refined to add value through improved digestibility, controlled bioavailability, quick or controlled release of ingredients, and improved palatability.
Catalent Pharma Solutions, for instance, has developed a dispersion technology for softgels based on "food-approved surfactants and flavor-masking and antioxidant ingredients to create a small-droplet supplement dispersion that can be encapsulated in a softgel-a dosage form preferred by consumers," says June Lin, global marketing director, consumer health softgel, Catalent.
Enteric coatings can prevent softgels from dissolving in the stomach, thereby assisting in releasing ingredients directly into the intestines where "absorption is more effective," Lin says. For krill oil and omega-3 oils in particular, she adds, "this can further minimize any issues with reflux and make products more palatable for a wider population."
Softgels can also deliver ingredients in a way marketers may not have considered before. Namely, they can be a "delivery system wherein the softgel tip can be twisted off to deliver contents by spreading on food or adding to drinks," Lin explains, with potential applications in supplements for pediatric or geriatric populations, for which swallowing pills can be difficult.
At Capsugel, Lowery points to an innovative beads-in-a-liquid-filled-capsule technology for controlled release of supplement ingredients. She describes it using the popular ingredient melatonin: "The inner capsule is filled with melatonin timed-release beadlets. It is suspended in a liquid melatonin−filled outer capsule. The outer capsule releases immediately, providing quick sleep response [in the user], while inside the inner capsule melatonin beads of different sizes and coating thicknesses dissolve at intervals to promote an uninterrupted, restful sleep."
Vegetarian and Clean
Trends in delivery format are currently following vegetarian, non-GMO, and "clean" lifestyle trends, report Catalent, Capsugel, and Robinson Pharma Inc. (Santa Ana, CA).
"One of the main trends in the supplements market," explains Catalent's Lin, "is consumer demand for all-natural and animal-free formulations." She also points to increasing consumer demand for foods and food supplements that are "produced without genetically modified organisms [GMOs], hormones, or artificial ingredients. This is in addition to the growing number of people interested in following a vegetarian-based diet, with several non-vegetarian markets looking for animal-free supplements" as well, she says.
To meet these market demands, Catalent developed Vegicaps: plant-based softgel shells from carrageenan that are free of both GMO ingredients and animal derivatives. "Supplement products based on this technology are compatible with the consumer demand for all-natural products" as well as requirements for gluten-free, vegetarian, and low-sugar lifestyles, Lin says, while retaining the advantages of the standard softgel: easy to swallow, odor-free, and taste-free. Vegicaps are also biodegradable and available in various colors, shapes, sizes, and clarities.
Capsugel's Lowery confirms growing demand for vegetarian, all-natural, non-GMO, and "clean" delivery formats for encapsulating supplement formulations meeting those same requirements. What's more, she says, "Vegetarian capsules offer additional specific benefits. Because of their lower moisture content, vegetarian capsules are ideal for encapsulating hygroscopic ingredients that absorb or attract moisture from the air, especially botanicals, botanical extracts, and probiotics."
She continues, "Some vegetarian capsules offer acid-resistant properties in the shell that protect ingredients like probiotics, enzymes, and amino acids from stomach acids and open closer to the intestines where the ingredients work better-with no external coating required." The company's Vcaps and Vcaps Plus vegetarian capsules feature low moisture levels down to 3% (for manufacturers who can control the relative humidity in their manufacturing environment), and its DRcaps vegetarian capsules incorporate "unique acid-resistant polymer properties" that slow disintegration after swallowing.
A fourth "highly original vegetarian capsule technology" offered by Capsugel, called DUOCAPS, "addresses the complicated delivery issues of combining a prebiotic-probiotic supplement," Lowery explains. "Both ingredients can be delivered at different intervals via a capsule-within-a-capsule technology" that provides both a "synergistic digestive effect and moisture protection to prevent early activation of the probiotic." Both capsules, the inner and outer, are made from plant-based HPMC.
The company's Licaps nitrogen-flushed, hermetically sealed capsules-designed to protect the stability and quality of liquids prone to oxygen-related degradation-are also available in a vegetarian version.
Likewise, Robinson Pharma, which describes vegetarian and vegan softgel products as "an upward spiraling growth trend," recently announced an expansion to six softgel machines solely dedicated to vegetarian softgel production, to achieve what it called in a press release "one of the largest capacities and fastest turnaround times in the industry for vegetarian softgels." The company recently expanded production capacity to "3 billion vegetarian softgels per year to meet demand." According to the company, its vegetarian softgels feature improved softness and appearance, ranging from bright colors to more subtle, translucent finishes. Robinson says it recently developed a "unique vegan multivitamin" in softgel form that contains more than 20 vitamins, minerals, and nutrients in one dosage.
Capsugel's Lowery also highlights the growing need for capsules with third-party certifications affirming vegetarian, vegan, non-GMO, Kosher, Halal, and organic status. These "are best for encapsulating clean-label ingredients so that the entire product can meet those clean-label requirements that appeal to an ever-growing number of healthy-lifestyle consumers worldwide. This can help create greater and easier market distribution and penetration globally."
Capsules and Softgels Maintain a Place in Supplement Delivery
Continued innovation and added value keep capsules and softgels a smart choice for supplement brands, even in the face of more trendy delivery forms. Particularly for ingredients with low stability, strong odor, and vulnerability to oxidation, and for formulations requiring a particular type of release (quick, controlled, or delayed), capsules and softgels remain a smart option.
Following general lifestyle trends, developments in capsule and softgel delivery include plenty of plant-derived options, non-GMO options, low- or no-sugar options, gluten-free options, and all-natural options. Supplement brands keeping abreast of lifestyle trends and choosing their delivery forms accordingly are well-positioned to successfully keep up with consumer expectations.

Fresh approach to doing business in Europe
Flextraction's export sales have gone from zero to 15 per cent of turnover since the company began working with UKTI. The Leicestershire manufacturer's dust and fume extractors are installed in workplaces in France and Germany
Established in 1997, Flextraction is a leading independent UK specialist in the supply and manufacture of Local Exhaust Ventilation products for dust and fume extraction in the work place. The company manufactures extraction arms and hood positioning devices at its Melton Mowbray premises, and also supplies a wide range of products from other manufacturers. Its extractors are used in many sectors, including the food industry, pharmaceuticals, factories and education, to remove hazardous dust and fumes.
UK regulations on hazardous substances stipulate that control measures are installed and tested at least every 14 months.
But when it comes to exporting, not all countries have the same regulations, although most are catching up with the UK's health and safety standards.
We spoke to Flextraction Managing Director Lee Darton about working with UKTI.
What led you to look at overseas markets?
We began to think about this in 2010 once we had completed the redevelopment of our Hood Positioning Device (HPD). The take up in the UK had been very well received so we felt it was a great opportunity to see how this equipment would sell in other countries.
Initially what did you need UKTI's help with?
We were complete beginners at exporting, and we needed advice from an expert. The first thing we wanted to do was to find one particular country that would be right for our product.
How did you begin your exporting journey?
We signed up for UKTI's Passport to Export programme which was excellent. Throughout we had a dedicated manager looking after us who helped us to put a plan into place for our next 12 months of business.
We narrowed the target countries down to France as there was not already a manufacturer like us there. In order to make in-roads into France we commissioned UKTI staff in the Paris Embassy to undertake some in-country research via their OMIS service. This research found over 30 French contacts for us to follow up. We have also used the International Student Placement Office (ISPO) based at the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire Chamber of Commerce. The staff there found a foreign student to come over and work for us. This was ideal, as we needed someone who could speak fluent French to help with the export work. With help from UKTI and our French intern we translated our brochure and made several successful trips to France to visit prospective clients. We wouldn't have known how to get to this point without UKTI's help. The knowledge and guidance they provide is incredible.
What other help has UKTI given?
We applied for and were granted funding for our trip to France. UKTI also helped with the cost of the brochure translation, printing and artwork. We attended UKTI's one-day courses to learn about French and German language and culture.
Company name: Flextraction
UKTI services used: OMIS Passport to Export,
Website: www.flextraction.co.uk
What would be your advice to businesses thinking about exporting?
Definitely speak to a UKTI expert. I would also advise taking advantage of the service offered by the International Student Placement Office, as working abroad without a native speaker is very hard.
Would you recommend UKTI?
Of course! Karen, our UKTI adviser, is remarkable. It is sometimes easy for us to take our eye off the ball but with Karen on hand she makes sure that things are done. The networking element is great. You meet people who may be able to help in the future with their contacts. It is a 'no brainer' that all UK businesses thinking about exporting should work with UKTI.

Eco World Development Group Berhad hits sales target of RM3 billion for FY2015
Kuala Lumpur: Eco World Development Group Berhad (EWB) today announced that the Group had met its sales target of RM3 billion set for the current financial year. EWB achieved total sales of RM3.016 billion for its financial year ended 31 October.
President & CEO Dato' Chang Khim Wah said strong sales in the fourth quarter, which amounted to RM924.2 million enabled the Group to achieve its target.
The sales achieved in FY2015 came from four projects in the Klang Valley which contributed RM1.579 billion; six projects in Iskandar Malaysia which contributed RM1.213 billion and two projects in Penang contributing RM224 million to total Group sales.
Commenting on sales numbers in the Klang Valley, Chang said it was testament to the underlying strength and resilience of the central region and its surrounding areas which collectively have the largest population base and highest per capita income levels in the country.
"The Klang Valley remains the most important market for developers due to the depth and breadth of demand which exists here consistent with its position as Malaysia's financial, business and economic heartland," he said.
"The Group has also enjoyed sustained interest in all our developments in Iskandar Malaysia despite soft market conditions because of our wide variety of landed residential homes and commercial / industrial properties," Chang added.
Up north in Penang, the Group's latest launch on the mainland called Eco Meadows contributed the bulk of sales. "This indicates the growing popularity of this fast-rising locale following the opening of the Second Penang Bridge and the increased number of businesses and industries relocating to the mainland," said Chang.
The Group recorded revenue of RM1.712 billion and gross profit of RM411.9 million with gross margins averaging 24% for FY2015. Ongoing projects which contributed to the revenue and gross profit achieved include Eco Majestic, Eco Sky and Saujana Glenmarie in the Klang Valley; Eco Botanic, Eco Spring, Eco Summer, Eco Business Park 1, Eco Tropics and Eco Business Park III in Iskandar Malaysia; and Eco Terraces on Penang Island.
Chang also shared that the Group has opened eight new EcoWorld Galleries this year, increasing the total to eleven as at end October 2015 as part of its ongoing branding and marketing initiative.
"Over the last two years we have invested heavily in building up the EcoWorld brand with the aim of connecting and reaching out to our customers and target markets more effectively. Now that we have 11 EcoWorld Galleries spread out in the Klang Valley, Iskandar Malaysia, Penang and Singapore, we are better able to showcase the full spectrum of our product offerings to prospective customers. These dedicated galleries are complemented by 5 large-scale Show Villages through which we have been able to demonstrate to our buyers what a Signature EcoWorld township looks and feels like," said Chang.
Moving forward in FY2016, the Group expects sales to be underpinned by the launch of new phases and the introduction of new products within its on-going projects.
"We expect our launches to continue to perform well because of several factors. As part of the EcoWorld brand promise, all our 11 ongoing projects are strategically located in fast-growing or matured corridors with good accessibility to major highways, employment centres, educational and recreational amenities."
"We also foresee continued strong demand for homes within well-planned gated and guarded communities offering products and design concepts which meet customers' lifestyle needs and aspirations," said Chang.
With a strong foundation established in the township segment of the property market, last month, the Group unveiled its most exciting integrated commercial development in the heart of Kuala Lumpur called Bukit Bintang City Centre (BBCC). A joint development with UDA Holdings Berhad and the Employees Provident Fund Board, registration of interest from the public has commenced in preparation for the maiden launch of its strata offices and serviced apartments during the first half of FY2016.
BBCC aims to revitalise the landscape of the city through the creation of a comprehensive new work, leisure and residential destination. This innovative urban regeneration project which is situated on a historic 19.4 acre site will be anchored by a one million sq ft retail mall offering specialty and renowned local and international brands, an exciting new entertainment hub and a Malaysian Grand Bazaar to showcase home-grown talents, arts & crafts.
BBCC's unique entertainment offer will be complemented by six luxury residential towers, strata-offices, a 4-star hotel and an iconic 80-storey Signature Office Tower. In line with EcoWorld's commitment to sustainability, green lungs have been threaded into BBCC's design to enhance biodiversity and restore nature into urban inner-city developments.
Down south in Iskandar Malaysia the Group will be launching Eco Business Park II in FY2016 to continue to increase its share of this growing market segment in the Senai Corridor. This will be EcoWorld's third fully gated and guarded business park in Iskandar Malaysia offering business owners and investors one-stop industrial solutions with modern facilities and services including high-speed broadband and space customisation options.
Apart from the two new projects Chang said EWB's plans for FY2016 include completion of the acquisition of several sizeable parcels of lands announced earlier, and aims to finalise the masterplans for the developments proposed thereon namely:
Eco Forest, a 493-acre township located 5km away from Eco Majestic to enable the Group to benefit from economies of scale of operations and build on the success of its flagship project in Semenyih;
Eco Gardens and Eco Business Park V, a complementary township and business park development covering 2,198.40 acres in Mukim Ijok, Selangor. These twin-projects will enable the Group to establish a dominant presence in the up and coming North-Western Klang Valley growth corridor with access to a new market catchment where EcoWorld is currently not represented;
Eco Marina a 300-acre development in Batu Kawan on mainland Penang which provides the Group with the opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind mixed residential, commercial, leisure and tourism project to take advantage of the site's natural 2.5 km coastline on its north-western boundary and the 150-acre golf course which will be developed on its south-eastern flank.
On the corporate front, EWB also announced its plans to take up to a 30% stake in EcoWorld International Sdn Bhd (EWI)'s proposed Initial Public Offering (IPO), subject to the approval of the relevant authorities and the Company's non-interested shareholders.
EWI is in the process of making an application to the Securities Commission for its proposed IPO and Listing. EWI currently owns a 75% stake in three projects in London, United Kingdom, namely Embassy Gardens Phase 2 located in the Nine Elms regeneration area, Wardian London situated next to Canary Wharf and London City Island Phase 2 on the Leamouth Peninsula in East London. It also owns one project in West Sydney, Australia called West Village, Parramatta. All four projects were launched in 2015.
President & CEO of EWI, Dato' Teow Leong Seng said: "We are delighted with the response received not just from Malaysian customers but also global and home country buyers for every project. As at 31 October 2015 we have secured sales of $554 million – $437 million from the three projects in the UK and $117 million from Australia."
Teow attributed the strong sales achieved to the care taken in site selection to ensure that all projects are in prime development zones with easy access to public transport and road networks, the unique and differentiated features of each development, the experience of the management team and the strength of the EcoWorld brand.
"We are deeply gratified that our buyers have given us such a resounding vote of confidence not just in Malaysia but also in London and Sydney. The success of both EWB and EWI in their respective markets has created a strong platform for mutual collaboration to position EcoWorld as a global property brand. This will give EWB a significant competitive advantage in promoting its Malaysian property projects to its customers," said EWB's Chairman Tan Sri Liew Kee Sin.
Pursuant to a Collaboration Agreement to be entered into between the parties, EWI will also be able to leverage on EWB's strong customer networks to market its projects in the UK and Australia to Malaysian and Singaporean customers.
"By working together, EWB and EWI will be able to grow faster as well as deepen and broaden their technical capabilities and expertise in design and innovation. This will generate better insights and spur creativity for the creation of new products to the delight of the market. All this will set the stage for the EcoWorld brand to continue to grow from strength to strength," Liew said.
Upon completion of EWB's proposed acquisition of the 30% stake in EWI, it will be entitled to a proportionate share of the earnings arising from the sales secured by EWI.
Accordingly, EWB is maintaining its sales target at RM4 billion for FY2016. Sales for the upcoming year will be anchored by the Group's 11 ongoing projects which are primarily in the landed township and business park segments, the proposed launch of Eco Business Park II and the Group's proportionate share of sales from its 40% stake in BBCC and proposed 30% stake in EWI.

Heatwave blowtorches French vineyards
By Alana House
Winemakers in the south of France are reeling after their vines were severely burned by record temperatures.
The mercury in the Gard region hit an all-time high of 45.9C on Friday – hotter than in California's Death Valley.
"The heatwave has also hit the vineyards of Herault, widespread damage observed," Jerome Despey, a wine producer in France's southwestern Herault region and head of the local chamber of agriculture said on Twitter, posting photos of shrivelled grapes.
In a tweet, Despey added that he intended to "activate the emergency unit" at the departmental chamber of agriculture, to get a clearer picture of the damage as soon as possible.
He added: "Vines usually resist heat, but with the levels reached on Friday, winemaking is paying a large price. This is something that I have never lived through. I have been a winemaker for 30 years. I have never seen a vine burned by a heatwave like this; it's impressive."
Despey said that small wildfires across the Gard had also wreaked havoc for several farmers and winemakers.
Languedoc Roussillon winery Le Chai d'Émilien posted photographs of its shrivelled vines on Facebook (main) and wrote: "Today is a day of suffering for us winemakers. In the last 48 hours, the fire of the sky went down on our work tool, totally destroying a part of our harvest, without distinction. Mother Nature is putting us back to the test."
Motpellier Winemaker Catherine Bernard told Yahoo News she blamed global warming: "It's a warning.
"If we cannot grow them in the south of France, we must accept that we cannot grow anything else here either and that humans are no longer in their rightful place here."
Emilien Fournel, a winemaker in Sussargues, told Yahoo News he estimates he lost half of his 35-hectare harvest.
"We've never seen the like of it," he said.
The vines on the edges of his vineyard, as well as those on higher ground, looked like they'd been hit by lightning, with the leaves singed and shrivelled.
Meanwhile, winemaker Catherine Bernard from Montpellier blamed global warming: ""It's a warning. It's a red card telling us to reassess the way we have been living these past 50 years."
However, winemakers in the southwest Bordeaux region welcomed the heat as a remedy for mildew left over after a wet spring.
"Two of three days of heatwave in Bordeaux at this time, it's magic!" Philippe Bardet, head of the Bordeaux Wine Council, told AFP at the onset of the so-called Saharan bubble.
Heat comes after devastating frosts
In May, winemakers were using helicopters and fire used to protect delicate buds from late frosts
"We had to do it," Philippe Raoux, owner of Château d'Arsac, told news website 20 Minutes. "At 6:22 this morning [Sunday], it was -2°C and the three helicopters did their job well, even though the effectiveness of the operation will not be measured for three to four days.
Two years ago, the estate lost 90% of its harvest when five days of frost ravaged vineyards across large parts of the country.
"We didn't hesitate because we didn't harvest in 2017, we didn't want to take any risks," Raoux said.
"It's scary, for the last four or five years, we've had a sword of Damocles over our heads because of the climate change and there's not much we can do about it."
Several vineyards in the Bergerac wine region of Dordogne lit fires between their vines in a bid to keep the frost off.
"These periods of spring frost are a real anguish for me," Sylvie de Bosredon of Château Belingard de Pomport, told France Bleu. "A time of panic, of terror. We don't want to relive what we experienced two years ago, in 2017, when we lost all our crops because of the frost."
Meanwhile, in the Alsace region, winemakers laid down straw bales to set on fire in case the mercury fell below zero and threatened to freeze grape buds.
"If the sun hits frozen buds, there will be a magnifying effect, it will then burn. The harvest may be compromised," Thibault Specht, a winegrower in Mittelwihr, told France 3.

Join us during the Easter holidays for this creative architecture workshop for children aged 6 to 10. Using the RIBA collection and our own experiences, we will discover what it means to make a space accessible. We will design and make a 3D floor plan of a room that is adapted to the needs of the people who will use it.
A house is more than just a roof over our heads. It is filled with lots of different spaces within it that we use in different ways. Even within a family home, while each of us might use the same rooms, the way we use them will vary. Some of us can reach the top cupboards in the kitchen, some can fit in the gap between the sofa and the sideboard and some just can't see into the mirror in bathroom.
How do we make each room in a house work for the people that live in it and how they use it? Join us for this workshop as we discover what it means to make a space accessible. We will explore items from the RIBA's collections and learn what an architectural plan is and how to read them. All this will help us to design and make a 3D floor plan of a room that is adapted to the needs of the people who will use it.
This creative architecture workshop is led by educator Daniel Wallis for children aged 6-10.
For ages 6-10, our Design Quest workshops inspire younger children to use their imagination and hands-on creativity for a fun introduction to architecture. Previous workshops have seen participants create optical illusions, design sustainable dens, build stage sets, develop an animated story around a public space or assemble a house for a mouse.
To see other learning workshops taking place in this series, see our families and children page.

With With a Dallas-based, afternoon-drive radio show that is syndicated in some 31 markets, veteran jock Doug Banks and his co-host, DeDe McGuire, bring a fun mix of humor, popular culture, and information to the airwaves as they spin the hottest in adult contemporary music on The Doug Banks and Dede McGuire Show, which is syndicated by ABC Radio Networks. This week, BlackEnterprise.com went behind the scenes with Doug and DeDe to get their take on the radio business and where they think this ever-changing industry is headed.
BlackEnterprise.com: What are your thoughts on syndicated radio and its impact on black radio?
Doug Banks: Being a person who is syndicated, I'm all for it. I think it's a great way to get entertainment to the masses as opposed to just having it on a local level. With syndicated programming, stars of TV, music, and film who come on our program to promote their projects are exposed to a larger stage—on a national scale—versus on a local level. Syndication is important for African Americans because it gives us a platform to stand on in terms of the initiatives we support, such as the Million Man March and Jena 6.
Critics of syndication, however, say that localism is lost. What are your thoughts on that?
DeDe McGuire: That is so not true. That's the perception that everyone wants you to believe. But what people don't understand is that to do syndication they way we do it is hard work. We pay attention to every market. We cater to every market. We have people on the streets in our various markets who call us and fax us to let us know what is going on.
DB: The key to do this is that you can't be too one-sided with regard to any one market. The name of the game is to get as much audience as you possibly can and as many stations as you can. It's rather generic, but I've found out over the years that a simple mention of a specific market or a location in that market does wonders.
Radio is facing intense competition from a lot of other audio entertainment. How will this competition impact black radio going forward?
DB: It's going to separate the people who are on their A-game versus the people who are just playing and dabbling in it. There are too many other options: iPods, satellite radio, CDs, mp3s. When you're tuned into my show in the afternoon, I want to make sure the show's compelling enough to hold you, because the toughest thing in the world is to get someone to come back to you once they've tuned you out.
With syndication, you're able to connect with a broad range of African American listeners. What have you learned most about the audience?
DM: I've learned that our audience is much more educated and much more concerned about what's going on in the world today and their

Alloy Motocross Gear was brilliant for the dirt bike rider.
Alloy Motocross Gear is the thing - when you're out jumping ramps on your dirt bike.
You need to have the proper amount of protective equipment while remaining comfortable, right? Luckily, Alloy has something for you. While always keeping the comfort of the rider in mind.
Alloy has created protective pants, gloves, shirts and helmets for both men and women riders. It's no surprise that the number one name in protective Motocross gear is Alloy Motocross gear.
Alloy has no shortage of riding accessories either. For each article of clothing there are a few different series' of protective gear. This means that Alloy has developed a line of protective gear that will fit you and your budget.
Their many lines of protective shirts offers a variety of options. Each series of Alloy Motocross gear has a different riding preference in mind. The lower end Alloy Reactor racing jersey is about thirty dollars, and provides light padding & 100% breathable material.
The higher end Alloy Fuel jersey offers everything the Reactor series has plus a few extras. The Fuel racing jersey, however, will set you back about ten dollars more than the reactor.
Look and feel like a Pro!
Alloy makes Motocross gear with the professional rider in mind, trying to develop new accessories to make outstanding riders even better. The Alloy Clutch series of racing gloves are thin, but provide light protection and provides a "one on one" grip with the throttle.
The Clutch series is both light and affordable, setting you back only about twenty-five dollars. The Atom glove is another glove by Alloy that offers thicker, heavier protection. While not providing a grip as personal as the Clutch, the Atom still delivers a thin, "no-set" grip to give you the control you need. This model glove will cost you a bit more in the end, about thirty-five dollars. Their most expensive items (about a hundred dollars) are their Alloy MX series racing pants. These pants are made from a polyester blend that's very breathable. Not only are they comfortable, they're protective! Their durability can protect you from cuts and scrapes if you have an accident. If you want to ride safe, Alloy Motocross gear is definitely the way to go!
So in the end it comes down to what you want. If you want to ride dangerously, go without. But, if you want to be safe, while still maintaining comfort, go with Alloy Motocross gear.
One of the best new companies to make gear for racing closed its doors in March of 2006. Alloy Motocross Gear was available for three years and made an impact on the market but it couldn't overcome competitors that had years in the business, a bigger presence and most likely more cash to make it through the tough economic times.
However, that doesn't mean that you can't find Alloy Motocross gear online. Often you'll find online stores that still have a few items and some used Alloy Motocross gear for sale items - on eBay and other sites.
If you can find the gear available in your size, most likely you find that it fits your budget too. Many of the items are marked lower than the original price since the company is no longer viable.
Don't let the low price fool you. This company made quality. They had different priced items to fit every budget and a variety of gear in all sizes. That meant there was something for everyone. The racing gloves were a particular favorite because they offered a better grip, so you had more control, and were light but extremely protective.
The three series of gloves were the Clutch, the Atom and the Alloy MX. The original prices varied according to the series you purchased. The Clutch series, the most inexpensive of the Alloy Motocross gear, offered the gloves at around $25.
The mid priced gear was the Atom, with the most expensive being the Alloy MX series. You could find the racing pants in the MX series for around $100. These prices should give you a good idea on what is fair pricing for used or new - but discontinued Alloy gear if you find the item online, should be a lot lower obviously. For those on a tight budget, this might be one way to save a few dollars and still get quality protective wear.
Owning dirtbike gear or motocross gear is expensive. Many dirt bike gear brands are aimed at dirt bike gear for youth enthusiasts. The colourful dirt bike racing gear should be stored in a dirt bike gear bag after a race; so you don't lose anything.
Buy clothing with the latest motor bike "dirt" gear safety additions if you can. Padding inserts etc. should be checked over too – once you get home from the circuit, and don't let your mx clothing run on the ragged edge before replacing them; if rips begin to appear – then it's time to look for a new set of combos.

Yamaha P-115 Review: Perfect For Any Aspiring Pianist
Last Updated on March 5, 2019 By Austin
Yamaha (portable) P series is incredibly famous for their superior quality, sufficient connectivity, and control features.
Among these is Yamaha P-115, a digital piano with fully-weighted 88 keys and many other impressive features.
This piano is an ideal match for those looking to perform on stage especially if you are looking to coordinate with other players without trying to forcing to complex features.
Apart from using it in a concert, there are a lot more places that you can use the piano.
However, for the purpose of the Yamaha P-115 review, we will go straight to its specifications.
Yamaha P-115 is equipped with Pure CF sound engine that is commonly used in the Yamaha P-225 the first piano in the P-line.
The pure CF sounds comprise of the 001 grand piano found in the Yamaha CFIIIS 9' concert Grand recorded in multiple volume levels for each note.
The grand piano produces exceptionally clear and realistic sound with a beautiful resonance and decay.
With the combination, P-115 delivers sound that is very convincing and more vibrant especially if you compare it to the previous model P-105.
The sound produced can be even better especially when you listen on a pair of quality headphones.
In addition to that, 14 other present instrument voice options sound really authentic.
This includes three grand pianos, three organs, three electric pianos, Vibraphone, Strings, Harpsichord and Wood bass.
There is also reverberation sound effect that makes the P-115 sound more significant and expressive, stimulating the acoustic environment.
The reverb comes in for types; concert hall, recital hall, club and chamber that you can easily choose and adjust on the keyboard.
Yamaha entry-level digital pianos come with Graded Hammer Standard (GHS) keyboard actions that are well balanced and fully weighted giving the user a natural keyboard feel.
This is the similar case with Yamaha P-115. It comes with 88 weighted keys that are heavy on the low end and lighter in the high end.
The piano keys are touch sensitive making it able to produce different sound variation relative to how hard you touch the keys.
You can also adjust the touch level to what suits your playing style better.
This preset comes in four settings: fixed, hard, medium (default) and soft.
When you select the fixed setting, you lock the touch sensitivity, and the piano produces the same volume no matter how hard or soft you strike the keys.
The hard settings produce a dynamic range from softest pianissimo to the booming fortissimo and allow the aggressiveness of the player.
The harder you strike the keys, the louder the sound produced, so you must press the keys very hard for you to create the most booming sound.
The medium settings (default) give the most natural feel, close to that of an acoustic piano.
The P-115 keys are made of plastic and don't have the ebony or Ivory key tops like some of high-end Yamaha digital pianos.
However, the black keys have matte finish to prevent fingers from slipping when you become moist.
The piano is perfect for any aspiring pianist who needs the feel of a grand piano.
Its touch is like that of an acoustic piano and encourages proper finger technique.
The Yamaha P-115 piano has a compact design that almost looks the same to that of P-45.
Without a stand, it is 52.2 inches long, 11.6 wide and 6.4 inches high.
The piano can be fit easily into a small room because it doesn't take too much floor space.
Even better, you can place it on a desk to connect to a computer, but it is more convenient if you have a dedicated stand to place it on (looks great on it too).
You have to buy a stand because Yamaha P-115 does not come with any when you buy.
You can buy the X-type stand but if you want a better look, go for the Yamaha furniture stand for the P-115 model.
Apart from it being compatible, Yamaha P-115 is pretty lightweight (weighing 26lbs) making it easy to be carried along by anyone.
It's also easy to store when not in use especially if you have kids or pets that might accidentally drop it when playing.
Yamaha P-115 consist of two speaker system with 7W + 7W amplifiers. The speakers sound good especially when you consider their size and the power of their amps.
The speakers convey rich low-frequency and bright, crisp high tones that are brought by combining with the tweeters, therefore, producing a well-balanced sound.
These speakers are sufficient for home usage or performances in front of a small congregation.
They can easily be boosted by connecting them piano to an amplifier or a PA system to acquire a more powerful sound.
You can also choose whether to shut off the speakers on the keyboard when you connect it to an amplifier or external speakers.
Polyphony Counts
The polyphony count means the number of notes a piano can produce at one time.
If a digital piano has a high polyphony, it means that the keyboard can provide a sound close to that of an acoustic piano.
The P-115 has hugely improved on this especially when you compare it with the prior version P-105.
It has a polyphony count of 192 keys when the older one has 128 key polyphony.
The piano also has an increased instrument sound selection and rhythms making it more convenient for players.
With the high polyphony count, the piano gives an enormous deep tone across all the keyboard voices.
The piano has a sounder damper resonance response, therefore allowing a more elegant and natural tone when paying.
The keynotes of the piano are sufficient for any player to create a multi-track recording and layer multiple sounds without running out of memory.
There are several features that P-115 has that make its playing and learning comfortable and more enjoyable.
In this Yamaha P-115 review, we will take a look on features like mode, music library, recording, and playback along with others.
The P-115 piano has 3 modes available: Split, Dual and Duo.
Split mode divides the piano keyboard into two, whereby, you can play a different instrument in each section.
You can also change the splitting point on the keyboard.
The dual mode helps the player to layer two instrument and sound simultaneous across the keyboard range.
The duo mode separates the piano into two where each half has the same pitch range.
Here the keyboard can be played by two players side by side and play the same note at the same time.
This mode assists in learning where a teacher can play side by side with the students.
Transpose and tuning
Like many digital pianos, the P-115 does not need any tuning, though you can adjust the pitch on the keyboard using the transpose and tuning functions.
The transpose functions allow the users to adjust the keyboard in semitone steps.
For example, if you are playing a song in F major, you can change the pitch to play it in the C major without learning it in new keys.
You can also match the tune of a piano by fine-tuning the pitch. These are all great futures that greatly aid the playing.
Unfortunately, the piano lacks the feature to adjust the standards of other tuning systems like meantone, pure major, pure minor, etc.
The P-115 has a recorder that allows the players to record their playing and store them in SMF format.
The recorded data can be modified (change the instrument sound, tempo or even add a new note) after the recording.
Despite the lack of audio recorder in the piano, you can record any audio sound on your computer and play them.
The P-115 comes with an inbuilt music library that consists of 50 preset songs.
You can playback the songs, practice when the songs are playing, change the tempo, tone and more.
You can also download other songs from the internet and load them to the piano using a USB and use them as the preset songs.
Unfortunately, the memory of the piano to record or store the downloaded music is limited and can allow you to save only one external data either the downloaded or recorded.
Pianist styles
The P-115 has this accompaniment function that assists any pianist looking to challenge themselves when it comes to playing different types of music.
This function gives you the sound like you are playing a duet when instead he is playing on your own.
This is a great way to practice for a duet, especially when the other person of the duo is not present.
The player can play the "left hand only" chords, and the feature will take care of the rest.
The functions can play ten different styles including blues, boogie, swing, rag, arpeggio, slow rock along with others.
The metronome function helps in keeping an accurate rhythm and can also be used in fundamental skills such as timekeeping.
The P-115 allows you to change the metronome to one of the inbuilt rhythms including the Jazz Waltz, Disco, Samba, Swing, Latin Pop, etc.
Sound Boost
Yamaha P-115 can boost the sound and increase the volume making the soft played tones clearly audible.
This feature helps in cutting through an ensemble of instruments during a performance.
Intelligence acoustic control
This function helps in adjusting the sound quality to produce a more balanced and clear sound especially when the high and low frequencies aren't clearly heard.
There are other functions like auto power off control that assist the Yamaha P-115 to be an instrument that you would like to put your hands on.
However, we have touched the most important ones in this post, and it would not be a complete Yamaha P-115 review if we do not take a look at the pros and cons of the piano.
Light and built for professional performances
Produces superior sound quality, close to that of Yamaha grand piano
Dueling features saving player the hustle of looking for an additional pianist
Premium finish especially on black keys giving a superior feel on the keys
IOS app that allows additional controls without the burden of an LCD screen
Does not allow the MIDI features
Lacks an LCD
Allows the storage of only one song in its memory
Just like other top digital pianos that are designed to produce a realistic acoustic experience, the P-115 does it quite well. For well under $1000 you get a very good digital piano.
It is a versatile instrument and can be used in diverse settings and proves to be a great piano not only to a beginner but also to the experienced.
Unlike many other Yamaha P-115 reviews, I would advise you to go for it especially if you are not sure of what to buy because it is less expensive piano that sounds well when they get on the stage.

According to the National Sleep Foundation, children aged 5 to 12 need 10-11 hours of sleep. However, at the same time there is an increasing demand on their time from school, extracurricular and social activities. In addition, school-aged children become interested in TV, computers, mobile devices and other media, all of which can lead to difficulty sleeping. Indeed, sleep problems and disorders are common at this age. How can parents ensure that their children are getting quality sleep?
Launched in August by the health information technology company Zansors and the University of Michigan Health System, Sleep Champ offers parents a unique, well-researched tool that identifies potential sleep and breathing problems in children, increases awareness, and provides helpful sleep resources. Using evidence-based technology from Dr. Ronald Chervin and the University of Michigan Sleep Disorders Center, the Sleep Champ app empowers millions of online parents who can utilize self-help digital tools to promote better sleep quality and wellness for their children.
Sleep Champ utilizes the University of Michigan Sleep Disorders Center's sleep quality (SRBD) Scale technology. After answering some yes-or-no questions, parents are given a score. Sleep Champ then helps you understand what the score means, whether your child may be having trouble sleeping, and how to share your concerns with your pediatrician. The questions in the app have been researched most extensively among children aged 5 to 12, but should still apply between ages 2 and 18.
The Sleep Champ for Kids app costs $3.99 and is available for Apple and Android devices. The app allows you to create unlimited profiles and an unlimited number of questionnaires. Note that Sleep Champ is not designed to diagnose any medical condition, including sleep apnea, and is not a substitute for professional advice from your pediatrician or for professional testing that might be performed in a sleep laboratory.
The Sleep Champ video below will show you the different sections available, sample questions, and how to use the app.

Foot and mouth illness: Livestock industry leaders urge calm after FMD viral fragments detected in Australia
Australia's meat and livestock industry leaders are urging farmers to remain calm after Federal authorities this week confirmed viral fragments of foot-and-mouth disease had been detected in Victoria.
Fragments of FMD and African swine fever were found in pork products for sale at a retailer in Melbourne's CBD as part of routine surveillance after being imported from China.
The live viruses were not detected in any of the contaminated items and Australia remains free of both diseases, according to the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry.
"This is not the first time that routine testing has identified viral fragments in seized products and does not change Australia's FMD and ASF status," it said in a statement.
The department also revealed FMD viral fragments were found recently in a beef product intercepted at an Australian airport after being brought in by a passenger from Indonesia.
The passenger, who was issued a warning, did not declare the item until they were questioned at the border by a biosecurity officer.
The news has prompted the Australian Meat Industry Council to release a statement calling on livestock producers and farmers to remain calm.
"These findings are not new," AMIC chief executive Patrick Hutchinson said.
"They are part of the surveillance program for biosecurity which is the role of the Australian Government via Border Force and other departments.
"These have been increased by successive governments, all of which have been supported by AMIC."
Mr Hutchinson said the discoveries showed the risk of FMD spreading to Australia was greatest at the nation's borders and airports — areas authorities had been monitoring "for many years".
"The latest detection of FMD in pork products from China being sold in the CBD of Melbourne shows that the risk of incursion is from not only Indonesia but also from other destinations," he said.
"These findings vindicate AMIC's assertions that this issue is about targeted management of high-risk areas, being illegally and/or misdescribed food products coming into Australia."
The Australian Livestock Exporters Council has also spoken out, with chief executive Mark Harvey-Sutton calling for "calm and pragmatic bipartisan discussion".
"It is critically important this detection is reported accurately; live virus was not detected and Australia maintains its FMD-free status," Mr Harvey-Sutton said.
"It is critically important this is clear to our global trading partners.
"We are very fortunate to have one of the best biosecurity systems in the world supported by one of the best, if not the best, traceability systems in the world."
Mr Harvey-Sutton said the developments highlighted the need to continue investing in biosecurity systems.
Indonesia has been battling an FMD outbreak since early May.
The disease has spread to at least 22 provinces across the archipelago nation, including Bali, with more than 230,000 confirmed cases.

transtrender by manuel arturo abreu (Quimérica Books)
transtrender is a book of lyric poems about the impossibility of language to express the trans experience and the attendant problems of language's limits: the trap of visibility, the coloniality of gender, and the refusal of cogency in a moment where trans is trending (that is, being commodified and whitewashed). transtrender pushes toward an expanded lyric awareness in which poiesis does not betray its site-specificity, and gender nonconformity is not confined to a false narrative of emergence from white modernity.
manuel arturo abreu (b. 1991, Santo Domingo) is a poet and artist from the Bronx. They received their BA in Linguistics from Reed College in 2014, and currently live and work in a garage in Southeast Portland. They wrote List of Consonants (Bottlecap, 2015) and transtrender (Quimerica, 2016). [www.manuelarturoabr.eu]
Field Theories by Samiya Bashir (Nightboat Books)
Field Theories wends its way through quantum mechanics, chicken wings, Newports, and the many strains of love by melding blackbody theory (idealized perfect absorption, as opposed to the whitebody's idealized reflection) with real live Black bodies. Woven through experimental lyrics which span lyric, narrative, dramatic, and multi-media experience, is a heroic crown of sonnets that wonders about love and intent, identity and hybridity, how we embody these interstices—for what reasons; to what ends—through poems which engage their formal containers while pushing against imposed constraints.
Samiya Bashir is the author of three books of poetry: Field Theories; Gospel; and Where the Apple Falls. Sometimes she makes poems of dirt. Sometimes zeros and ones. Sometimes variously rendered text. Sometimes light. She teaches creative writing at Reed College.
After We All Died by Allison Cobb (Ahsahta Press)
After We All Died metabolizes a vast grief for a world smothering under the weight of human technology, and asks whether it is possible for humans to live in a way that is not at war.
Allison Cobb is the author of After We All Died (Ahsahta Press, a finalist for the National Poetry Series); Plastic: an autobiography (Essay Press EP series); Born2 (Chax Press); and Green-Wood, originally published by Factory School, with a new edition forthcoming in 2018 from Nightboat Books.
Self-Portrait in Dystopian Landscape by Stephen Lackaye (Unicorn Press)
Self-Portrait in Dystopian Landscape explores the post-industrial disquiet of the Rust Belt, bringing to life a city of figures who try to reckon a subtle menace that lingers just beyond sure sight. These poems prompt us to find the border between the darkness within and the darkness without, to recover from the ruinous landscape the outlines of one's own self.
Stephen Lackaye is the winner of the 2015 Unicorn Press First Book Prize. He holds degrees from the University of Southern California, the University of Edinburgh, and the Johns Hopkins University. Born in Poughkeepsie, NY, he lives in Oregon with his wife and daughters, where he works for Powell's Books.
Run the Red Lights by Ed Skoog (Copper Canyon Press)
"Run the red lights" were the last words the musician Alex Chilton spoke to his wife on the way to the hospital, and taking Chilton as a tutelary spirit, these poems of casual talk run through intersections of sex and love, theater, music, New Orleans, the West, numbness, ghosts, wolves, history, violence, rescue, art, marriage, mothers, fathers, and children.
Ed Skoog is the author of Mister Skylight, Rough Day, Run the Red Lights, and the forthcoming Travelers Leaving for the City, all published by Copper Canyon Press. His poems have appeared in Harper's, The New York Times, Poetry, Paris Review, Best American Poetry and elsewhere. He lives in Portland.


Mock, YEAH! Ing, YEAH! Jay, YEAH! Episode, YEAH! Well, Part 1, anyway. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 marks Philip Seymour Hoffman's final full performance, as he passed away with one week left when filming Mockingjay Part 2. That's a topic for another podcast, though, and this episode is about Part 1… and we have some things to say. Joining this film's great ensemble is long-time friend and collaborator Julianne Moore; it's great to see them on screen together once again! In this movie, PSH channels his knowledge as a director and puts it to use as his character, Plutarch, has to direct Katniss in some interesting propaganda films for the now-in-full-swing revolution!
