Perhaps the biggest reason a small to medium sized organisation would opt to outsource their IT services is so that they can manage less frustrations. While this might be an oversimplified description, it envelops a complex issue. That can't be the only factor for you to pick outsourcing, though, you may want sustaining evidence.
Currently, image an operating IT department. It's an innovative setting that is composed of software, hardware, and also computer networks. It allows your business to efficiency a number of crucial features, consisting of financial processes, record production, audit, and also client connection management.
The smooth running of your business depends on these services operating both effectively as well as reliably. For example, it is vital for organisations to connect with staff members, suppliers, companions, and clients by means of e-mail, to satisfy product and services orders, in addition to maintain open lines of interaction. Can you think of how a company would function without such essential services? And also that you should have accessibility to crucial financial data, in addition to consumer details. To protect these processes, there are back-end feature performances, such as data recovery and back-up, protection, web server tracking, along with anti-virus security.
This is a pretty overwhelming job, particularly for small and also medium-sized services. Why undertake such a massive job, when you can outsource your IT solutions?
• Control IT Costs— By outsourcing your IT prices, you could efficiently budget plan your expenses, paying for what you require. This is due to the fact that you can establish a regular monthly charge, and also your IT provider will certainly function to the budget you have established. You need not bother with fluctuating costs.
• Reduce Labour Prices— The price of hiring and also educating an in-house IT team is expensive, as well as short-lived staff members hardly ever measure up to assumptions. Outsourcing enables you to focus your Human Resources initiatives where they are most needed, as well as your IT companies will care for the rest.
• Certified, Certified, Experienced, & Educated Experts— If you have not been via IT training, exactly how do you understand your staff members are certified? Experience and certification are necessary, as well as collaborating with an IT services provider ensures that you are getting the very best of the most effective.
• A Qualification Does Not Equal Experience— For the single IT staff member in an in-house group, they lead a separated existence. Regardless of how hard they attempt, or just how much they train, it could be tough for them to keep up with all the changes in technology, while also dealing with the day job. IT companies work hard to keep every staff member abreast of all the most recent adjustments. So, while you might work with a certified IT individual, that doesn't mean they have the appropriate experience to handle your business.
• Increase Competition, Thus Performance— IT firms hire a lot of employees, and also they have higher levels of research and development, even more chance to apply new ideas, in addition to compete with each various other. This guarantees IT providers are at the top of their video game, which is an advantage to their clients.
• Implement New Technology Swiftly— A quality IT providers will certainly have resources to start their brand-new projects instantly. While an in-house group might take weeks, and even months, to recruit the ideal people, then train them, as well as use them the necessary support. A top quality IT business is ready to implement jobs promptly as well as have a wealth of experience, which saves your company both money and time.
• Maintain Your Emphasis— You likely picked your company since you ready at it- it's something that you really feel enthusiastic regarding, and also it's something that you like. You may have a bookkeeping firm, run a building service, or a law firm- modifications are your core expertise isn't really infotech. Your firm probably has actually restricted resources, however, and you have limited time, in addition to restricted interest. Outsourcing allows you to keep your focus on the facets of your service that you like, while enabling IT professionals to handle facility choices beyond your purview.
• Reduce The Danger– With every organisation comes risk. Choosing to outsource something like IT services in Peckham decreases a great deal of the danger for you.
• Degree The Playing Field— Finding money within your allocate any type of sort of IT professional may ne difficult, but it's fair to say that outsourcing obtains you much more for your cash than simply one internal team member will. You obtain the benefit of a large firm helping your small company. You are getting accessibility to the exact same degree of technology as well as know-how that large business do. A cost framework that is handled by a 3rd party offers your organisation a competitive edge.
• Security & Conformity— Do you audit your web servers as well as workstations? Do you have a perimeter network set up? Is your firewall upgraded? Does your business carry out protection requirements, and also maintain them? There are more methods now compared to ever before for businesses to flourish, specifically with wire transfers, debit and bank card, e-checks, bitcoin, and also present certificates. However, with these transactions comes a degree of due persistance. Outsourcing your IT solutions enables professionals to take control of these concerns so that you could feel confident your threat is reduced, and delicate data stayed safe.


At Pan Am, when I was flying the old 707, the 747 was delivered to the airline. I was too "junior" on the seniority list to get a slot on it. After several years of waiting, I started 747 ground school training with great excitement.
The first day, one of the instructors told us about the windshield on the 747. The windshield is huge. Ordinary glass was not strong enough. To provide the necessary strength, engineers used a thick slab of structural glass. That was strong, but it had a rough surface, too rough to see through. In order to make it smooth enough to see through it, the rough structural glass was coated with a thin layer of optical glass. The optical glass provided the smoothness necessary to see through the windshield, and the rough structural glass provided the necessary strength.
The only problem was, that — occasionally — in the cold air at cruise altitude, the adhesive bonding the optical glass to the structural glass would give way, and the optical glass would come loose and fly off. They explained that if it did, the other pilot would still be able to see through his or her windshield, or if both windshields were to have the same problem (which never had happened) then the plane could be landed automatically on autopilot.
Once I realized that that was the worst thing possible, the anticipatory anxiety about it went away. Anxiety is always about things getting worse. If we get a good handle of what "worse" really could be, and accept it, then anxiety about it often goes away.


For the third straight year, Utah finished with nine (or more) wins, won their bowl game, and finished the season ranked. For a team that went from the Mountain West to the Pac-12 in 2011, these Utes have become quite the formidable team. Despite the success, fans might consider this a "what if" year. USC, Colorado, and Utah all were vying for the South bid to the Pac-12 Championship. Colorado ultimately prevailed in a squeaker over Utah in the last game of the season. It is unlikely that any of the three teams would have beaten red hot Washington, but Utah still waits to take that next step in conference supremacy.
Kyle Whittingham is one of the longest tenured FBS coaches (tied for third with Frank Solich of Ohio and Mike Gundy of Oklahoma State). Taking over for Urban Meyer in 2005, Whittingham has only suffered two losing seasons which just so happened to be the first two years after joining the Pac-12. Outside of those two seasons, Whittingham has helmed a scary squad. In 2008, Utah beat Nick Saban's Alabama in the Sugar Bowl and ended the year ranked #2 in the country. In 2015, Utah made it back to #3 before sliding to #17 to end the year. Utah has yet to make a championship/playoff appearance but there are no signs of Utah slowing down nor Whittingham leaving the Utes.
2016 had quite a narrative with senior Joe Williams retiring after the Holy War (against BYU) in Week 2. A month later, the Utes suffered injuries to all their major running backs prompting Williams to return to the team a month out of practice. In his return against Oregon State, he ran for 172 yards and followed it up with 332 yards against UCLA. Williams would finish the season with over 1,400 yards in nine games. He will be a huge piece to replace as Utah looks to contend again in 2017.
That might not be the biggest issue, though, as Utah again replaces their offensive coordinator with a pass-happy, former Eastern Washington coach in Troy Taylor. This should mark a shift away from the running offense we have known from Utah and displaying a pass-centric offense. This coincides with a fortuitous transfer from Dwayne Carrington. Carrington was dismissed from the Oregon Ducks after a DUI during the offseason.
Defense has always been the strength in Utah's gameplan. Set up by their punter, the defense would harrass the opposing offense and set up third-and-longs to showcase their defensive line strength. The Utes lost three on the line this last offseason but a lack of returning production has never seemed to bother Whittingham in the past. Combine this with a complete return by their secondary and you have another smashmouth defense ready to wreak havoc on an offense-happy conference.
Utah gets an unfortunate North division draw pulling Stanford, Washington, Oregon, and Washington State (missing the bottom-feeders in Oregon State and Cal). I have them beating Washington State but losing to Stanford, Washington, and Oregon (traveling to Eugene is the decider in this). USC plans to dominate the South so Utah will likely miss out on the Championship game, again. They'll return to a bowl and I suspect they will handle whatever competition comes to them.

Insiders 12/22/19: New Plan Raises Sales Tax to Cut Taxes Elsewhere, U.S. Senate Candidate Kimberly Graham
by: Dave Price
DES MOINES, Iowa — A conservative think tank is pushing a new tax plan that would raise sales taxes while it lowers corporate income and personal income rates. Tax Education Foundation Iowa would raise the sales tax by one penny to lower taxes elsewhere and also expand the types of services that the state would tax. Walt Rogers, the former Republican state representative from Cedar Falls and current deputy director of Tax Education Foundation Iowa explains how he believes this new tax system would benefit Iowa's economy without reducing tax revenues. Read the specifics of the plan here. Discussion of the impeachment of President Donald Trump has impacted The Deciders, the group of nine Iowans who have committed to support a Democrat in the 2020 Iowa Caucuses but remain undecided on which candidate. Meet The Deciders here. Des Moines attorney Kimberly Graham, a Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2020, supports House Democrats' impeachment of President Trump but said Iowans don't typically bring up that topic when she campaigns across the state.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In his first hours as president, Joe Biden plans to take executive action to roll back some of the most controversial decisions of his predecessor and to address the raging coronavirus pandemic, his incoming chief of staff said Saturday.
The opening salvo would herald a 10-day blitz of executive actions as Biden seeks to act swiftly to redirect the country in the wake of Donald Trump's presidency without waiting for Congress.

Dubious coronavirus claims by California…
Dubious coronavirus claims by California doctors condemned by health experts
Bakersfield Drs. Dan Erickson and Artin Massihi from Accelerated Urgent Care held a press conference at their Coffee Road facility on April 22. They claimed their COVID testing proved the novel coronavirus had spread widely in the region and was thus less of a concern, but public health experts say they were jumping to that conclusion based on an unrepresentative sample. (Alex Horvath / The Californian)

A news conference by two California doctors that downplayed the threat of the coronavirus and made dubious claims that the disease had already spread widely, and therefore was not dangerous, struck a chord with those itching for states to ease stay-at-home orders — but is being condemned by public health officials and experts.
A widely shared local television video of last week's news conference, which was posted on YouTube, reached more than 5 million views and was amplified by Elon Musk and Fox News, where Dr. Dan Erickson and Dr. Artin Massihi appeared on primetime shows two nights in a row.
Twitter temporarily restricts Donald Trump Jr.'s account after he posts video claiming masks are unnecessary
Social media giants remove viral video with false coronavirus claims that Trump retweeted
The video has since been taken down by YouTube for violating the platform's policy on misinformation, a YouTube spokesperson said.
The doctors, who are not epidemiologists and who own and operate urgent care centers in the Bakersfield area, held the news conference on April 22 to share their conclusions about the results of 5,213 coronavirus tests at their clinics, extrapolating their findings to the California population as a whole.
"Do we need to still shelter in place? Our answer is emphatically no. Do we need businesses to be shut down? Emphatically no. Do we need to test them and get them back to work? Yes, we do," Erickson said at the news conference.
Widespread condemnation
The comments and conclusions of the doctors drew widespread condemnation from health officials and medical experts.
"There is a lot to object to from a scientific point of view," Andrew Noymer, an epidemiologist, told CNN. He said one big problem is that the doctors made estimates based on their clinics' clients who were tested, not a sampling of the general population.
"What these doctors are doing is corrupting the process from the start to make it seem like they are doing an honest policy analysis," added Noymer, who is an associate professor of population health and disease prevention at the University of California, Irvine.
The video also prompted the American College of Emergency Physicians and American Academy of Emergency Medicine to issue a forceful joint statement on Monday calling the pair's claims "reckless and untested musings" that "are inconsistent with current science and epidemiology regarding COVID-19."
"As owners of local urgent care clinics, it appears these two individuals are releasing biased, non-peer reviewed data to advance their personal financial interests without regard for the public's health," the statement read, "COVID-19 misinformation is widespread and dangerous. Members of ACEP and AAEM are first-hand witnesses to the human toll that COVID-19 is taking on our communities. ACEP and AAEM strongly advise against using any statements of Drs. Erickson and Massihi as a basis for policy and decision making."
Health officials in Kern County, where Bakersfield is located, also said they disagreed with the claims made by Erickson and Massihi.
"In our ongoing effort to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19 on our residents and healthcare system, we continue to adhere to the guidance issued by Governor Newsom regarding the stay at home order," a Kern County health official said in a statement to CNN.
Erickson and Massihi did not return CNN requests for comment.
Receptive audience
At a time when stuck-at-home Americans are yearning to return to their pre-pandemic lives, the doctors have found a receptive, even high-profile audience.
Over the weekend, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has claimed the coronavirus death rate is "overstated," tweeted the video to his 33 million followers with the comment, "Docs make good points."
On Monday, YouTube removed the video from its platform for violating the company's community guidelines and policies against Covid-19 misinformation, the company said.
"We quickly remove flagged content that violates our community guidelines, including content that explicitly disputes the efficacy of local health authority recommended guidance on social distancing that may lead others to act against that guidance," a YouTube spokesperson told CNN.
In the video, the doctors repeatedly claimed that stay-home orders and social distancing are not necessary because "it decreases your immune system."
"We understand microbiology. We understand immunology and we want strong immune systems," Erickson said. "I don't want to hide in my home, develop a weak immune system and then come out and get disease."
Those claims run counter to the recommended guidance from the World Health Organization, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as California officials.
Swedish policy
YouTube said it is working to take down any new versions of the video uploaded to the platform and cautioned that repeated violations of its policy could result in a permanent suspension from the platform.

On Monday evening, the pair appeared on Laura Ingraham's prime-time Fox News show, where Erickson told the host he has looked to Sweden, where restrictions imposed to fight the coronavirus have been far less sweeping than those implemented by the country's neighbors.
In Sweden, the death rate has now risen significantly higher than many other countries in Europe, reaching more than 22 per 100,000 people, according to figures from Johns Hopkins University. Meanwhile, Denmark has recorded just over seven deaths per 100,000 people, and both Norway and Finland less than four.
Noymer, the epidemiologist, said the US enacting a policy like Sweden's would result in a public health disaster.
"If we followed what Sweden is doing, we would have the worst results in terms of cases in the Western Hemisphere," he said.

Police asking for tax rise to protect services
Devon and Cornwall Police is seeking a 1.99 per cent council tax increase this year
It is proposed to increase the police portion of council tax by 1.99 per cent to protect policing services.
On Friday of next week, Police and Crime Commissioner Tony Hogg will ask the Police and Crime Panel to agree the increase.
It would mean a rise of £3.37 a year for a Band D property – 6.5 pence a week - and provide an extra £1.8million which Mr Hogg says will protect and enhance police services.
"In November the Government made the welcome decision to lessen the level of cuts the police face in coming years but that still left a reduction in grant income of 0.6 per cent," he said.
"In cash terms this is a cut of around £1m next year but, with additional increased costs, the shortfall after tax base-changes is closer to £1.8m - the revenue from an increased council tax will cancel that out.
"Just last week we saw that recorded crime continues to fall and I applaud all those officers and staff who have made this happen in the face of unprecedented cuts.
"But crime accounts for only 20 per cent of police work and the demand on services continues to grow.
"Efficiency and value for money remain at the heart of my financial plan and significant savings still need to be made. Since 2009 we have delivered over £58m savings and an additional £13m is still to be found over the next four years."
He said an alliance with Dorset Police and closer working with other organisations and blue light services would help to meet this target.
But he said work continued to find more savings.

1 What Are Five Ways That the Groundwater Supply Can Be Polluted?
4 Which of Man's Activities Speeds Up Erosion?
Limestone deposits exist throughout the world. These alkaline, sedimentary rocks were laid down mostly as deposits on the beds of ancient seas. A valuable natural resource, limestone has many uses in construction, agriculture and industry. Limestone quarries can be above ground or underground, and can cover large areas. Environmental hazards from mining operations depend in part on the location, characteristics and extent of the mining operations.
Limestone mining can affect ground water conditions. Limestone deposits often occur in association with karst, a topography where limestone slowly dissolves away underground. The deposits result in sinkholes, caves and areas of rock fractures that form underground drainage areas. When mining occurs in karst, disruption to natural aquifers, or flows of underground water, can result. Often, mining operations remove ground water to expose the quarrying site, which can lower the water table and change how water flows through the rock formations.
Streams and rivers can be altered when mines pump excess water from a limestone quarry into downstream natural channels. This increases the danger of flooding, and any pollutants or changes in water quality affects the surface water. In Germany, salty water pumped from limestone quarries into rivers has degraded the water quality, according to the International Mine Water Association. Upstream surface water features, such as marshes, ponds and wetlands, can lose volume as their waters drain into the mine and are pumped out.
As water and rock are removed from mines, the support they give to underground features is gone. Sinkholes can develop, where the roofs of underground caverns are weakened or collapse. Collapse can be gradual or sudden. Although natural sinkholes develop over time, man-made ones predominate in mine areas. Sinkhole formation can cease after mine dewatering is stopped and the water table is allowed to return to normal levels.
Limestone mines use two types of blasting. Small explosive charges set along drilled lines free blocks of stone to be removed for construction. Large charges reduce whole areas of limestone to rubble, which is removed for use as crushed stone. The noise, dust, and impact from explosions can result in noise pollution and dust. Underground forces from the blasts can cause sinkholes or change the drainage and water quality of underground aquifers. Construction equipment, such as large trucks, crushing machines and earth-moving equipment, also contribute to noise and dust.

The Hostages of the Orphanages
June 20, 2013, 11:30	2183	Author: Alexandra Tymoschuk, translated by Maria Romanko gazeta.zn.ua On the eve of the Children's Day the state officials might once again remember their promised intentions to reorganize the current state orphanage system and move from institutionalization to a family-based care
On the eve of the Children's Day the state officials might once again remember their intentions to reorganize state orphanage institutions into family-based children's homes, and hopefully this time these plans will be fulfilled.
Today twenty thousand children are staying in Ukrainian state orphanages and belong to the system that in fact deprives them of the right to live a full life after they attain their majority. These kids don't have access to quality education and are not taught the necessary social skills to help them in their adult life after leaving the state institutions.
The story of Stas Demetra from Zakarpatye is a vivid example of it. For 17 years the boy has been living in an institution for mentally-retarded children but when a supervision board arrived, it turned out that the boy had been there by mistake. It happened because in Ukraine children are sent to the state institutions not according to their particular needs but where it happens to be a vacant place for them. The state system sends retarded orphans as well as handicapped children to the specialized institutions. And all of them get the same social services despite their actual needs.
When Stas turned 18, the status of a mentally retarded child was revoked from him and he obtained a certificate of basic secondary education from Dombokovskaya boarding school – even though he could hardly read and write. However, as a person who reached the age of majority he had to become a self-sufficient citizen of Ukraine, he had to find a job and get settled in life all on his own. He was dismissed from the institution though his level of socialization corresponded to the one of a 5-year-old.
For some time Stas had been homeless until the Office of Children's services of the Municipal Council of Mukachevo gave him a place in a dormitory accommodation. They couldn't do more for the orphan because according to the law he had to provide for himself. If not for the volunteers from Mukachevo, the young man would have died from cold and hunger as he had neither clothes nor money to buy food. Sometimes kind neighbors brought him something to eat. However, Stas refused to go back to the institution where he had spent so many years, even despite the pressure from both the dormitory administration and the social service representatives. Sure it was easier for them to tag Stas "disabled� and give him a place to sleep in a specialized institute for the retarded, a meal 3 times a day and a monthly pension of 800 hryvnyas (100 US dollars) than to make him a capable member of society.
Fortunately, for Stas some good people decided to help him. In spite of many bureaucratic barriers the necessary papers were obtained. The young man also underwent a medical exam during which the severe form of pneumonia was revealed. He got treated at the hospital but after that – again, no prospects for the future.
"This is not because he is an orphan, but because he is a mentally retarded orphan. And such people are a burden to Ukraine�, says an employee of the Mukachevo Centre for legal information and consulting. "Such people are not admitted by the educational institutions and the employers. That's why we worked out a plan of his socialization: several times a week we work with Stas on his Ukrainian and literature, we teach him to read and write, and just to live. He is a healthy (though very skinny), cheerful and talkative guy. His life has got more meaning now�.
Unfortunately, Ukraine has adopted this kind of system: at first the orphan children are sent to the state institutions where they get the "mentally retarded� diagnosis and where they degrade, not develop. Then they are given a certificate of secondary education – the proof of their self-sufficiency. And then a person gets into a vicious circle: after getting into orphanage at a very young age he stays there till his death because of his incapability to live outside of a state institution. The terrible thing is that everything is according to the law!
"This scenario is convenient for the staff of the orphanages because fewer children means fewer working places for them�, explains Roman Romanov, the director of the program "Priority of the law� of the International Renaissance Foundation. This system is locked on itself. It has monopoly of the right of education, upbringing, socialization and rehabilitation of orphans but it doesn't fulfill its obligations and produces new clients for the institutions for adults�.
"However the biggest problem is that this system is not open to the society�, says Miroslava Pilipchinets, the lawyer and the volunteer of the Charity Fund of informational and educational initiatives "Development�. "For a long time the general supervision of this sort of institutions was performed only by the law enforcement agencies, and they did it without going into details of the children's lives there�.
It was a common thing that orphans who were hyperactive and rebellious to the strict rules of these institutions were sent to the psychiatric asylums where they were treated from the disorders they never had. A board of specialists from a corresponding part of Ukraine, consisting of psychiatrists, doctors and teachers gave approval to these actions sometimes even without seeing the patients personally but judging only by the accompanying papers. Stas Demetra had been a victim of such actions for several times. One can prevent this from happening only if the society tightens control over education, upbringing, socialization and rehabilitation of the kids in the orphanages. The society should change its attitude to this kind of children overall.
According to Charkov institute of social research, in Ukraine there are 55 orphanage institutions in the responsibility of the Ministry of social affairs, and 687 boarding "internat� schools in the responsibility of the Ministry of Science and Education. The data shows that in Ukraine there are 95.5 thousand orphans and children growing without parental care. 20 thousand out of them reside in orphanage institutions.
The representatives of the Independent monitoring association decided to embrace such a big quantity of orphans by descending upon various kinds of "detention� institutions, orphanages in particular. The association's functioning became possible due to the implementation of the National preventive mechanism last year.
"We managed not only to examine how the human and citizen rights were respected in these institutions but to make this information public. We also found out a range of violations�, says Andrei Chernousov, the head of the Independent monitoring association. "In order to make a fundamental change in the situation, we need support from those who care, and the more people the better. It is also necessary to come up with the standards of social services, offered in this kind of institutions and make the staff keep to these standards. Only in such a way it can be possible to highlight different specializations that will help to approach every child's situation in a more personal way. As this is very important in the current conditions when the transition from the old system of orphanage institutions towards family-based children's homes is still a long way to go�.

LEVERICK BAY, Virgin Gorda, VI – On Memorial Weekend, May 27, 2018, hundreds of powerboats will take part in the 17th annual Leverick Bay Poker Run which will see more than 250 boats from Puerto Rico, Miami and the [US] Virgin Islands.
VALLEY, Virgin Gorda, VI – "I know that nothing will be done about this but we cannot take that just so, we have to continue to sound the word until someone somewhere hears us and steps in to do something about this thing," those were the words of a Virgin Islander resident of Virgin Gorda.
Are VIslanders placing nationality before race?
ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – With the Virgin Islands' Emancipation Festival just concluded, a discussion on race and the history of African descendants dominated the Umoja radio forum last evening, August 15, 2013 and it was implied that descendants of Africans may be putting their nationality ahead of their race.
This story asserts that race in the USA is a national dilemma. Race defines American culture and society. The Trayvon Martin matter is symptomatic of a malevolence that states that the US has arrived at the place where even the prized jury system cannot be trusted to give a non racial, fair, and unbiased verdict.
ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – One resident has concluded that the position of Governor in the Virgin Islands either has to be seen as having a stigma attached or possessing some element of racism.
'I am not a racist'- Gov. McCleary tells talk show host!
ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- After months of coming under attack by many civil servants, the legal fraternity, the media and many quiet whisperers in the community, the United Kingdom appointed Governor William B. McCleary has broken his silence.
ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – Acting Commissioner of the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force (RVIPF) Mr David Morris has sought to dispel claims regarding his ethnicity and remains adamant that he is not white! The question of race or ethnicity he said, was a complicated one for him, but he clearly identified himself as mixed race British or mixed race Welsh, despite claims in the media that may state otherwise.

Our Vision is to expand the frontiers of science and technology to explore and develop space.
Our Mission is to educate, guide, and prepare the next generation to accept the challenge of expanding humankind's presence in space.
The Federation of Galaxy Explorers (FOGE) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that educates and inspires the next generation of explorers in space-related Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM).
They learn the science and technology that is changing their lives and become prepared for employment in the 21st century.
All members are governed by our Guide Stars (Fundamental Principles). They include the values of honesty, respect for others, a positive attitude, and teamwork. These values represent the qualities required of persons to engage in scientific inquiry and space exploration.
To work toward our Mission, we offer Mission Teams, summer camps, activity kits, special events, and a rocket competition for youth from elementary school thru college.
The program provides a critical support infrastructure to motivate and educate children outside the classroom. This infrastructure is particularly important given the lack of classroom resources, science and math teachers, and modern-day peer pressure.
We seek to educate future generations in a low-cost, high-impact way by drawing on the volunteer spirit of people.
We're proud of what we've accomplished since our founding in 2001. Over the last two decades, we hosted 40,000 children in summer camps, after-school programs, and special events nationwide. FoGE has developed partnerships with government agencies, businesses, school districts, and nonprofit organizations to accomplish this expansion. Many of our alumni have emerged as leaders in the STEM industry. Several have pursued careers in space-related fields.
Impacted by the 2020 pandemic and a need for volunteers, many of our programs shut down from 2020-2022. We are currently restructuring our programs to renew outreaches in previous states and increase the number of states and students served. To work towards this goal, in 2021, we partnered with Girl Scouts Nation's Capital and delivered 160 free space science activity kits to Girl Scouts in K-5th grade across West Virginia, Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C.
Our nation is working hard to develop a succession plan for the next generation of Scientists, Technicians, Engineers, and Mathematicians (STEM) in our future workforce. We believe that an educated population is vital for a great society that learns that science and technology change lives. We design our programs to be accessible and engaging in space science education for the next generation through six primary themes: Science, Engineering, Rocketry, Robotics, Geosciences, and Space Citizenship. Over time, we hope participants in our program (Galaxy Explorers) will grow to create a long-term citizen activist force in society, shaping the nation's education policy and furthering the science and engineering required in humanity.
Support the Mission!


Milton Manor offers additional lodging during our peak seasons (closed during non-peak times) in addition to 4 different overnight lodging options for dogs at our primary resort. Unlike traditional kennels, we want to make sure that all of the guests in our care are pampered and receive tons of love and attention while staying at our resort. Pampered pets BEG to vacation here!! See why we are different from any other facility in the area.
March 14,2018: We are very excited to announce that the planning boarding for the Town of Milton has approved us for an expansion project to add a new building with an additional 40 lodging rooms with indoor/outdoor access.
Pets lodging in the Congress Bark Suites have access to their own private outdoor patio 24/7/365 through a doggie door. Each suite by Snyder Mfg is 8'x5' on the inside and the outside areas. The inside of the suite contains a Kuranda bed (PVC piping with fabric in the center), tile floors indoors and concrete floors outside. All pets in these suites are also allowed outside into an enclosed yard multiple times per day. They are let out individually by suite. Dogs are not allowed to play together at this time. This area is air conditioned in the summer and heated through forced air heat in the winter (i.e. floors are NOT warm). All pets have their belongings at all times.
Pets staying in the Congress Bark Resort can not be transfered to other lodging options in the primary resort, i.e. pets must be dropped off and picked up from the same building.

Why do private companies in the NHS get commercial confidentiality?
Let us hope Grahame Morris's 10-minute rule motion – on the unfair advantages enjoyed by private healthcare firms working in the NHS – does not get swamped by the coverage of the Transparency of Lobbying Bill that resumes its unwelcome journey through the Parliamentary process after it.
Vox Political does not have the exact wording of the motion, but it seems likely it will follow a similar line to the Private Members' Bill that Mr Morris put down last December, winning the support of 111 fellow MPs.
You will notice that it is relevant to the Lobbying Bill in several ways. Here is the wording of the Private Members' Bill:
That this House notes
that the most significant development that has followed from the Government's healthcare reforms has been the £7 billion worth of new contracts being made available to the private health sector;
further notes that at least five former advisers to the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer are now working for lobbying firms with private healthcare clients;
recalls the Prime Minister's own reported remarks prior to the general election when he described lobbying as `the next big scandal waiting to happen';
recognises the growing scandal of the procurement model that favours the private health sector over the NHS, by allowing private companies to hide behind commercial confidentiality and which compromises the best practice aspirations of the public sector;
condemns the practice of revolving doors, whereby Government health advisers move to lucrative contracts in the private healthcare sector, especially at a time when the privatisation of the NHS is proceeding by stealth;
is deeply concerned at the unfair advantages being handed to private healthcare companies;
and demands that in future all private healthcare companies be subject to freedom of information requests under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 in the same way as existing NHS public sector organisations.
The active part is at the end – that private healthcare companies be subject to FoI requests in the same way as existing NHS public sector organisations. That's why this 10-minute rule motion is entitled Freedom of Information (Private Healthcare Companies).
The aim is to have a level playing field for both private and public organisations providing NHS services. Do you remember the level playing field? The Tories were constantly banging on about having a level playing field, back in the 1980s and 90s when they were privatising left, right and centre, but they don't seem to be quite as interested in it any more.
The other parts of the original bill are just as interesting in relation to the Transparency of Lobbying Bill. What will it do about people who are employed by the government but who take all available opportunities to push forward a particular private company's interests (above those of the taxpayer?) and then quit to take a position with that company once their work is done? Nothing, most likely.
The sad part is that this 10-minute motion is unlikely to get very far. Here's how they work (taken from Wikipedia, which we can use as a reliable source on this subject):
"Whichever MP has reserved the slot presents their bill and is entitled to speak for 10 minutes to convince the house of its merit. After the 10 minutes have passed, another MP may speak for a further 10 minutes to oppose the bill. The Speaker then calls a voice vote to decide whether the bill should be allowed a second reading, which is when the bill is debated at a later date. The Speaker will divide the house for a recorded count of votes if there is some opposition. However, the majority of Ten Minute Rule motions are not objected to,[2] and are allowed to proceed without any debate at this stage. This is because MPs have not yet had time to review the bill's content.
"When a Ten Minute Rule motion passes, the bill is added to the register of parliamentary business. It is scheduled for debate along with the other Private Member's Bills, but at a lower priority. The MP presenting the bill must tell the Speaker the date for this second reading debate. The bill is generally printed and published shortly before the second reading.
"Bills introduced under the Ten Minute Rule rarely progress much further, since the Government usually opposes Private Member's Bills in the later stages and, given their low priority in the schedule, there is often insufficient time for the debate to be completed. Most Ten Minute Rule introductions are instead used to stimulate publicity for a cause, especially as the debate follows the media-popular question time and is usually broadcast live on BBC Parliament, or to gauge the opinion of the house on an issue which may later be introduced in another bill."
"To stimulate publicity for a cause". Let us hope that this one does not get swamped by coverage of the Lobbying Bill.

Why any company that has its snout in the public trough allowed to claim a right to commercial confidentiality? The idea is laughable from the outset. Public services should be just that, public.

Estadio Cuauhtémoc
City of Puebla
The sports complex, built in 1967, had already hosted suspense-packed competitions at the Summer Olympic Games in 1968 as well as being the venue for the FIFA World Cup in 1970 and 1986. The stadium was completely modernized in the years 2014/2015 and furnished with the first ETFE façade in Mexico by Dünn Lightweight Architecture.
The façade seems extremely lightweight in its curved shaped and incorporates pre-Columbian design elements with its mosaic character. It consists of 124 vertical segments, about 40m in height. A total of 5.952 ETFE film sections in the three shades were welded to one another for the segments.
In the daytime the club colors of blue and white as well as the transparent sections continue to be visible. By night the film sections are illuminated in various colors by LED lights.
Especially important in the hot and humid climate: In the production of films made of 3M Dyneon ETFE no plasticizers are required, which evaporate over time and thus could promote algae or fungal growth. ETFE films are so smooth that rain showers are sufficient to clean the façade to the greatest possible extent. They are so resistant to other chemicals that they are also able to withstand environmental influences such as exhaust emissions for decades. Originally, parts of the façade of the stadium in Puebla were made of glass panels in various colors. Dünn Lightweight Architecture chose to design the complete façade with ETFE film instead. One significant advantage: The weight per unit area of ETFE is around 95% lower than that of glass. As a result, stress analyse were able to build the supporting structure in a much lighter way. Instead of the 2.500tons of steel required for a glass construction, 1.000tons are sufficient for the ETFE façade, a saving of 60 percent.

Bowenwork offers a non-invasive, holistic approach to pain relief and healing. Bowenwork uses gentle soft-tissue or fascial-release technique on specific spots on the body. It involves a light cross-fiber move of muscle, fascia, nerve or tendon. This works to stimulate the body's energy and activate its healing capacity. This gives the brain the message to heal a particular area and achieve balance and lasting results. Bowen works to help the underlying cause rather than the symptoms. The side effects often include pain relief, improved physical and mental well-being, increased energy, improved circulation, lymphatic drainage, detoxification and stress relief.
Bowenwork is a truly unique therapy that helps anything from traumatic injury, chronic illnesses, developmental delay and everyday stress. Bowenwork resets the nervous system, activates the immune system and stimulates the body's innate healing ability.
Bowenwork is considered hands-on healthcare therefore no tips are accepted.
Bowenwork is a system of soft tissue therapy that was developed by the late Tom Bowen of Australia. It consists of gentle, precisely applied, rolling movements performed over muscle, fascia (connective tissue), and nerves. These Bowenwork 'moves' send sensory information to the brain, resetting tension levels and activating the body's natural healing response. There are frequent rest periods between sets of 'moves', allowing the body time to assimilate and respond to the work. Because it works primarily through the nervous system, healing occurs on many levels, as needed: physical, chemical, mental and emotional.
Bowenwork is based on the principle that the body has an innate blueprint for health and, when in a state of balance, its powerful self-righting and healing mechanisms can be accessed. We are subject to a wide range of physical, mental and emotional stresses throughout our lives. If stress is allowed to accumulate to the point where it overwhelms our coping mechanisms, there can be a breakdown of the system resulting in pain and declining health. By resetting the nervous system, Bowenwork helps to unwind the dysfunctional patterns brought on by prolonged stress, injuries, trauma, illness, surgeries and poor habits. This process brings the body into a greater state of balance, health and wellbeing.
Bowenwork facilitates the body in healing itself, with minimal intervention. Bowenwork is painless, non-invasive, and can provide lasting relief from a wide variety of acute and chronic conditions. It is a safe and effective therapy for people of all ages and at all levels of health, from the newborn to the elderly, the chronically ill to the competitive athlete. It can also be used for stress reduction, general wellness and to enhance athletic performance.
In contrast to other hands-on modalities, where the practitioner imposes correction on the client through manipulation, Bowen Technique facilitates the body in healing itself, with minimal intervention. Because of the subtle nature of Bowen Technique, and the body's continuing response to it over several days thereafter, other forms of manipulative therapy are discouraged for up to five days after a session.
What Conditions Can Benefit from Bowenwork?
Bowenwork is appropriate for all ages and stages of health from babies to the most frail and elderly.
Below is a list of some of the conditions that have shown substantial improvement with the Bowenwork technique.
It's important to understand that Bowenwork is not a cure for any ailment. Instead, it activates the body's own healing abilities. Each person responds differently to a Bowenwork session. Everybody responds according to their own body's ability to heal.
We also find that the Bowenwork technique is very effective for those needing rehabilitation after an injury. This includes sports injuries, falls, car accidents, emotional shock, etc. In fact, the sooner you receive this therapy after an injury or trauma, the better we are able to stimulate the body's parasympathetic nervous system to speed up the healing process. We do, however, suggest that you talk with your doctor first if you have any serious health conditions or new injuries.
Most clients report significant change with their presenting problem within 1-8 sessions.
Each Bowenwork session is personalized to focus on the specific symptoms a client is experiencing. The work is usually done over lightweight loose clothing (shorts and a tank top or t-shirt are ideal).
The session will last anywhere from 30-60 minutes. The length depends on what we are addressing and how the client is responding to the Bowenwork. Less is more when it comes to Bowenwork. Please allow 60-75 minutes for the original intake, assessment and session.
It is best to schedule 3 appointments a week apart to set the foundation of the work. After that, we will re-evaluate your needs.
During the session a client will lie on a Bowenwork table or, if need be, seated on a chair. The practitioner will gently place his or her hands on specific body and muscle sites. The "moves" are gentle and precise. The Bowen moves initiate a rapid self-healing process via the nervous system.
Typically during a Bowenwork session there are a number of pauses where the practitioner will leave the room. These pauses are an essential part of Bowenwork. This is when the body and brain are communicating. These pauses allow the body time to respond to the stimulation that has just been initiated and integrate the signals to the healing process.
During your session you may notice some subtle changes in your body. Some Bowenwork clients describe painless tingling or pulsating sensations. Others don't notice anything out of the ordinary. After your session over the next several days you may experience an increased range of motion, a reduction of pain, lessening of muscular tension and a greater sense of relaxation and well-being.
Everybody responds differently to Bowenwork. They respond in their own time and according to their own body's ability to heal.


Now, the term "4K" has become a big trend in display technology, with product announcements and demonstrations from the world's leading suppliers. After CES 2014, Sony, Panasonic, JVC, etc have successively introduced new 4K camcorders for providing the highest picture resolution and frame rate video compression codec based on industry standards. As to post production, Aunsoft TransMXF for Mac provides an effective workflow to import 4K MXF to FCP.
Firstly, the big question is why not using Sony XAVC Plug-in? One limit of XAVC Plug-in is that users have to first update FCP-X to at least version 10.0.8. Another limit is XAVC Plug-in is only available for Sony 4K camcorders. Comparatively, TransMXF for Mac shows power to convert 4k XAVC MXF to ProRes 422, ProRes 4444, ProRes 422 HQ, ProRes Proxy and ProRes LT for FCP for the latest 10.1.1, as well as the previous FCP 7/6. The program has no limits to import 4K MXF recordings from Panasonic, Canon, JVC and other producers.
Lastly, a must-be mentioned feature is that TransMXF Pro for Mac can also supports XDCAM MXF, P2 MXF, Canon MXF, as well as 60P/60i MXF without any importing issue. Besides, the ability to export more than 50 types of video formats, making it possible to import 4K MXF to Avid, Adobe Premiere, QuickTime, etc.


His current research focuses on understanding what shapes political communications and what are its consequences. In particular what is the effect that institutions have on the dynamics of issue politics, and how do these dynamics affect individual voters. Other research projects involve developing and using content analysis techniques for understanding different political problems (such as issue attention in political speeches, court decisions, etc) and understanding Venezuelan Politics.
His research has appeared in the American Journal of Political Science, British Journal of Political Science, Political Behavior, West European Politics, Political Science Research & Methods, Latin American Politics & Society, and Policy Studies Journal as well as in several book chapters in edited volumes.
Dr. Sagarzazu teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in Latin American politics and political communications. He also teaches graduate courses quantitative text analysis.

Pittsburgh Civic Orchestra celebrates 50th anniversary
"A big anniversary calls for a bit of extravagance," writes Mark Kanny in Thursday's (5/14) Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "For the Pittsburgh Civic Orchestra, an amateur ensemble celebrating its golden anniversary this season, performing Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 is a big reward and a big challenge. … [Music Director Warren] Davidson will lead four vocal soloists, the Pittsburgh Concert Chorale and Pittsburgh Civic Orchestra in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony Saturday night at Upper St. Clair High School. The Pittsburgh Civic Orchestra was founded in 1958 as the Bethel Park Orchestra, later changing its name to the Carnegie Symphony Orchestra when it was based in that community. It took its current name in 1983 to reflect the breadth of its community involvement and the fact that its members come from many communities. Davidson became music director of the Pittsburgh Civic Orchestra in January 2008 and is conductor of the Slippery Rock Symphony and professor of music at Slippery Rock University."

International Cricket - Cricket: England vs South Africa first ODI preview
A relentless summer of English cricket continues at the Riverside Ground on Tuesday as England and South Africa lock horns in the first of three one-day internationals.
Jos Buttler's England will be looking to bounce back from a 2-1 series defeat to India in the format last time out, while the Proteas have been readying themselves for the series with warm-up matches against England Lions.
England vs South Africa - 1st ODI
Riverside Ground, Durham
Tuesday 19th July, 2022
Sky Sports Main Event / Cricket
England 8/15, South Africa 6/4
Work to do for Buttler and his team
Buttler has endured a tough start to life as England's new white-ball captain, losing 2-1 in their Twenty20 series with India before losing their ODI series by the same scoreline, but this encounter with South Africa could offer them a decent chance of bouncing back.
There were still plenty of positives to take from the ODI series loss to India with England having won the second match of that series at Old Trafford by 100 runs, while Reece Topley hit a rich vein of form with figures of 6-24 in that match and 3-35 in the decider.
It is also worth noting that England are second in the world ODI standings whereas upcoming opponents South Africa are sixth and lost their most recent series in the format 2-1 to Bangladesh back in March, so at 8/15 England could be a decent selection to win this contest.
Potts could star if Topley is not involved
Ahead of the three-match tussle with South Africa, England have brought Adil Rashid into both of their white-ball squads while Matthew Potts has also been included in the ODI squad for the first time in his career.
And while Topley is the man of the moment for England right now, there have been suggestions he could be rested for this series opener, although he is priced at 21/10 to be his side's top wicket-taker.
If Topley does miss out, debutant Potts could be a great selection at 4/1 to be England's top bowler.
Durham paceman Potts could make his ODI debut for England at his home ground at Chester-le-Street and he has enjoyed a pretty good year so far, having thrived in England's Test set-up.
Potts has taken 18 wickets in only four Test matches for England so far and will be eager to make an impact in the sport's shorter formats too.
Buttler the pick of England batsmen
England were far from barnstorming with the bat in their series with India last time out but, following a tricky T20 series in which he was troubled by Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Buttler steadied himself in the ODIs.
In the three-match series, he put on totals of 30, four and 60 but was also one of his country's most explosive performers at the crease against the Netherlands as recently as June.
In that series, which featured a record-breaking total of 498 from England, Buttler fired unbeaten scores of 162 and 86 and could well inflict some damage again when facing a South Africa attack missing Kagiso Rabada.

Van der Dussen looks to build on warm-up performance
South Africa dazzled with a total of 360 in their latest match with England Lions in the build-up to their ODI series with a number of willow-wielders posting big scores.
Heinrich Klaasen was the pick of their batsmen with 123 while T20 Blast talent Stephen Eskinazi (52*) and Andile Phehlukwayo (67) also enjoyed great afternoons.
And the ever-reliable Rassie van der Dussen was not short of runs either, posting 61 off 52 balls in that warm-up match, while he has averaged 52.66 in ODIs for his country this year.
Back in the 2019 World Cup, he demonstrated an affinity for English conditions with 311 runs in six innings despite South Africa's disappointing performance and he looks worth a bet in his side's top batter market at 4/1.
It remains to be seen exactly how South Africa will line up for this contest but they are set to be without Temba Bavuma, who is nursing a hand injury, while star Quinton de Kock has been out of action recently with a bruised finger.
He is nonetheless rated 13/5 to top score for his team with Reeza Hendricks available at 7/2 and Janneman Malan 7/2.

«Москвич-Г4» — советский заднеприводный одноместный гоночный автомобиль, спроектированный в МЗМА под руководством И. А. Гладилина и Л. М. Шугурова и выпущенный в 1965 году. Первоначально автомобиль проектировался для национальной формулы «Юниор», но впоследствии участвовавший в гонках советской формулы 1.

История создания
В 1961 году на МЗМА был построен гоночный автомобиль «Москвич-Г3». Г3 имел переднее расположение двигателя и в его конструкции было применено много узлов от серийного «Москвича-407» — это как упрощало конструкции гоночной машины, так и утяжеляло её, Г3 весил 630 килограмм. Несмотря на две победы в национальном первенстве, было принято решение разработать более современный гоночный автомобиль с заднемоторной компоновкой.

Конструктивные особенности
Для данной гоночной модели использование серийных деталей было сведено к минимуму, взамен их стали использовать более лёгкие и компактные. У серийного «Москвича-407» были позаимствованы тормоза, стойка передней подвески и коробка передач. Для уменьшения лобового сопротивления рама была спроектирована узкой, ширина кузова в наибольшем сечении составила 710 мм.

Изначально Г4 был оснащён форсированным двигателем от серийного «Москвича-407» с рабочим объёмом 1360 см3, развивавшим 75 л. с. при 5500 об/мин (в соревновательном режиме мог работать на 5700 об/мин). Форсировка двигателя была произведена за счёт установки четырёх карбюраторов К-99-М, увеличения степени сжатия до 9,5, а также за счёт использования специального кулачкового валика. Спереди в магниевой крышке распределительных шестерён устанавливался распределитель. Масляный поддон двигателя был оставлен без изменений, однако в систему смазки подключили масляный радиатор от «Москвича-410».

Коробка передач от «Москвича-407» подверглась незначительным модификациям. В частности, это коснулось шестерней, хотя их передаточные числа остались прежними. Выбранная схема расположения коробки с задним мостом позволила сократить вес всего агрегата на 33,5 кг.

Автомобиль имеет двухкруговую тормозную систему с уравнительным коромыслом между главными тормозными цилиндрами, оснащён гидравлическим приводом управления механизма сцепления. Из-за заднего расположения двигателя управление коробкой передач было сделано дистанционное

«Москвич-Г4» имеет сварную трубчатую раму из стальных труб диаметром 27 мм с толщиной стенок 1,5 мм. Рама сварена из легированной стали марки 30ХГСА. Вес рамы со всеми кронштейнами составил 40 кг. Алюминиевый клёпаный кузов толщиной 1,5 мм состоит из 6 частей. Капот и носовая часть Г4 задуманы как быстросъёмные. Общий вес алюминиевой обшивки вместе с переборками — 27 кг. Для гонщика изготавливалось алюминиевое сидение по форме его тела. По бортам между кузовом и рамой расположены два алюминиевых бензобака, имеющих объём около 50 л, вес одного бака ≈4кг.

В 1964 на шасси был установлен форсированный двигатель «403-й модели». Принципиального различия между двигателями не было, но 403-й комплектовался 4 карбюраторами Ленкарз-К99.

Выступления в соревнованиях
В 1963 году победу в первенстве СССР в классе Формулы 1 одержал Юрий Чвиров на «Москвиче-Г4», также на этой машине он выиграл первенство Ленинграда.

Are GPs preventing patients from hearing properly?
The largest UK study into hearing impairment and hearing aids has revealed a wealth of information including that many hearing impaired people are not referred on by their doctor and that 3.4 million people in the UK cannot hear properly.
April 19th 2011 - A groundbreaking new study shows that 39% of people who consult their GP about their hearing loss do not go any further to seek a solution
Nearly 15,000 UK consumers answered questions about their hearing and their knowledge of hearing aids in the most comprehensive and largest survey ever undertaken in this field. The EuroTrak UK study will provide invaluable data for GPs, the NHS, Department of Health and the audiology profession. This study is now being publicised by The British Hearing Aid Manufacturers Association (BHAMA).
"39% is a disappointing figure because it means millions are battling with isolation, withdrawal, problems at work, depression, low self-esteem and a host of other negative consequences reported by recent other studies*," says Lawrence Werth, Chairman of BHAMA.
Key findings of interest to GPs, health professionals, NHS and audiology profession include:-
3.5m people in UK should be wearing hearing aids and are not.
UK has lower hearing test rate than rest of Europe (31% UK, 47% France, 55% Germany).
58% of hearing aid wearers were guided by their GP
77% of users are satisfied with their hearing aids
74% of hearing aid wearers received a free-of-charge NHS instrument
93% of hearing aid owners use their aids regularly – a substantial improvement on other studies.
Professor Adrian Davis, National Director for Newborn Hearing Screening Programme, and the leading epidemiologist of hearing impairment in the UK commented: "The very large numbers of people (39%) who have identified that they have hearing problems (including those whose family were the first to notice the problem!) and are not being referred for hearing tests or to see an audiologists by their GP, is an issue that deserves further investigation."
Lawrence Werth added: "BHAMA is sharing the results of this significant study. It is the first major survey of UK consumers' knowledge and understanding of hearing aids and the issues around them." Werth concluded: "These results give an invaluable insight into how consumers currently view hearing aids, their fitting and servicing, and the benefits wearers can derive from using them. This information will enable the hearing aid industry to develop and improve - providing more products and services tailored to meet our patients' needs. It will also allow us to raise awareness of hearing aids among those who could potentially benefit from them and their family and friends."

The EuroTrak UK study was conducted in 2010. The sample size was as follows:-
14,980 people were interviewed in total. 1,335 (8.9%) of these identified themselves as hearing impaired. 513 of these hearing impaired used hearing aids whilst the remaining 822 said that they had some form of hearing loss (mostly self-diagnosed), but did not use a hearing aid.
Respondents were interviewed via email and the study is weighted accordingly.
EuroTrak UK is part of a new series of pan-European EuroTrak studies that so far include similar surveys in Germany and France. They are comparable to the MarkeTrak studies carried out in the USA by Dr. Sergei Kochkin. It was designed and executed by market research company Anovum on behalf of the European Hearing Instrument Manufacturers Association (EHIMA).
