COMMENTS / CONDITION: 1935-37 George Burke Photo Stamp - Douglas Johnson. See scans for condition details.
BIO: W Douglas Johnson was born in 1914. Johnson never made it to the majors, but played in the minor leagues from 1935-39 for mostly C-level Cardinals affiliates.
This is an original vintage stamp-sized photograph produced by the famous Chicago photographer George Burke between 1935 and 1937. The Burke Stamps are high-quality small real-photo cards that were originally issued exclusively to individual players in uncut perforated sheets for use in answering fan mail. George Burke ''Postage Stamp Photos'' are a fascinating vintage set which are extremely rare, in part because of the photos' small size and in part because this rare set was issued exclusively to players. It is even more rare to find these in such excellent condition, as many were affixed to correspondence, scrapbooks, etc. (as was their intended purpose). If you are looking to complete a set of this rare issue, I strongly encourage you to take a look at my other listings, as you no doubt already know how hard these are to come by.
George C. Burke was born in 1874 in Pennington Gap, VA and died in 1951 in Chicago, IL. A case of mistaken identity made by the Chicago Cubs resulted in George Burke becoming the official photographer for the Chicago Cubs. In 1929, Cubs manager Joe McCarthy and Gabby Hartnett sought out the ballclub's previous photographer. They could only remember his last name, Burke, so they looked him up in the phone book. A listing leapt out at them: studio photographer George C. Burke, whose office was near Wrigley Field. Thus began the baseball photography career of George Burke, who had no prior sports experience whatsoever, and thus ended the career of photographer Francis Burke - the Cubs' time-honored official cameraman and an unwitting victim of mistaken identity. To undertake his new "big league" endeavor, Burke hired the young (age 15) baseball-knowledgeable George Brace as his assistant, and the two soon became a Chicago institution. Ever-present at Wrigley Field and Comiskey Park, Burke and Brace shot not only for the Cubs, but also for the White Sox and football's Chicago Bears. They also endeavored to amass a complete portfolio of player portraits - a daunting task made possible by the fact that Chicago was the only city with both an American League and a National League franchise from 1929 all the way until Brace's retirement in 1993. As the official photographer for the Chicago Cubs, Burke quickly became renowned for his candid pre-game photos and thought-provoking portrait depictions, and his posed portraits and action photos were published in The Sporting News, Who's Who in the Major Leagues, and Baseball Digest as well as other publications, and provided the necessary photos for numerous 1930's and later baseball card and premium issues.

One of many tick-borne diseases that threaten your dog, anaplasmosis is nothing to sneeze at.
Ticks are not only disgusting little blood-sucking creatures, they are dangerous, too. Ticks are one of the primary couriers for transmitting certain infectious diseases, collectively called "vector-borne [or, tick-borne] diseases," of which canine anaplasmosis is one. Canine anaplasmosis can be found throughout the United States, primarily in the northeastern, mid-Atlantic, and north-central states, as well as in California.
To see if anaplasmosis is in your area, visit the interactive map at dogsandticks.com and click on your region.
One form of this disease is spread to your dog from the black-legged tick, also referred to as the deer tick, which also transmits Lyme disease. Another form can be passed to your best friend from the brown dog tick.
If you're interested in what ticks look like and the different types of ticks lurking, visit dogsandticks.com (if you haven't gathered, we think it's a great resource for pet-owners who want to know more about tick-borne diseases).
So, how do these nasty ticks infect your dog with anaplasmosis? Ticks acquire the bacteria that cause the disease from feeding on an infected host animal, such as a rodent or a deer. Then, they pass the bacteria to your four-legged friend by biting him and ingesting his blood.
Although the two forms of anaplasmosis present with different signs, both may pose a serious threat to your dog's health and can be difficult to diagnose, based on clinical signs alone.
Baseline bloodwork, including a complete blood count (CBC), chemistry tests, and urinalysis to evaluate organ function and blood-related conditions, such as anemia and clotting abnormalities.
If your dog has been infected with anaplasmosis and is clinically ill, your veterinarian will most likely prescribe an antibiotic, such as doxycycline or tetracycline. The good news is that, in most cases, symptoms begin to resolve within 1–4 days! Your veterinarian may recommend repeating the CBC after your pet has been on medication for a period of time, to make sure the antibiotic treatment has been effective. In more severe cases, some dogs require other medications or hospitalization.
Protecting your best friend from ticks is the most important step in preventing her from contracting any tick-borne disease! Because the signs of tick-borne diseases, like anaplasmosis, are so varied, it is vital that you have your pet screened routinely for these vector-borne diseases.
The good news is there are several ways to protect your pet and very effective tick-prevention products and medications available both over the counter and from your veterinarian. To learn more about these products, as well as more about how you can prevent your pet from being bitten by a tick, we recommend (again) you visit dogsandticks.com.

Thrustmaster's Xbox One HOTAS joystick is excellent if you love Elite Dangerous
Jeff Grubb@jeffgrubb	 December 11, 2017 6:31 PM
Above: The Thurstmaster T.Flight HOTAS One for Xbox One.
Image Credit: Thurstmaster
The traditional two-analog gamepad is a versatile input tool, but when it comes to something like a flight simulator, nothing beats having a joystick and a throttle. On Xbox One, that is now an option thanks to the introduction of Thrustmaster's T.Flight HOTAS One for $80. This wired, USB hands-on-throttle-and-stick controller gives you all the buttons you'd get on a traditional Xbox One joypad. And Thrustmaster has even worked with Frontier Developments to ensure it works flawlessly with its space sim Elite Dangerous.
I got my hands on the HOTAS One, and I've spent some time with it in Elite Dangerous on the Xbox One. That experience was pretty magical. Frontier recently updated its game for Xbox One X support, so I was sitting in my living room, playing Elite Dangerous in 4K, and using a HOTAS stick to control my ship. This was especially immersive because the stick and throttle is the exact same size and shape as Thurstmaster's HOTAS One.
That dedication to accuracy encouraged me to play around with the feature of the HOTAS One that enables you to separate the stick and throttle. In Elite, these controls sit off to either side of you, and you can set up the HOTAS One similarly to make it feel even more like you are sitting in the cockpit.
This was all a long way from a proper PC setup, but the HOTAS One does work with Windows. That means you can combine it with a VR headset or TrackIR if you want. But in the context of a console, however, I was feeling damn cool.
If you're not an Elite Dangerous superfan, however, you can probably skip the HOTAS One. The stick should work with some other games, but … the Xbox One just doesn't have a lot of flight-style experiences. Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown, an arcade-style flight sim, is due out in 2018, and Thrustmaster has said that it will work with the HOTAS One. But beyond that, you won't find much reason for this controller … well, except for that one game.
I was really excited to set up the T.Flight HOTAS One specifically for the starfighter mode in Star Wars: Battlefront II. That is one of the best parts of Electronic Arts' latest entry in the galaxy far, far away, but one problem: it doesn't support joysticks. I tried to get it to work, but it turns out that it's not possible yet.
And so I'm left with the HOTAS One and not much to do with it. Elite is a cool thing that I dig, but it's not my only game. If it's the thing you return to every night, and you play on Xbox One, then I think you have to get this. Otherwise, I'd at least wait for Ace Combat 7 and possibly an update to Star Wars before plunking down the money.

An evergreen grass with lovely arching fountain-like stems that grows to around 1m tall. It starts off green, then becomes a pretty mixture of autumnal tones later in the year. It will self seed, but the seedlings are easy to pull out if they're not wanted.
Tall and upright, growing to nearly 2m and turning a lovely buff colour in autumn, this stately plant is perfect for screening or to create a statement in a contemporary setting. Cut it right down to the ground in February and it will shoot up again quickly.
The soft blue-grey sheen of festuca glauca makes a lovely edging to borders or paths, or in pots. It's neat and rounded, growing to just 30cm tall. Give it a spot in full sun for the best colour, and just comb through it with a gloved hand in winter to get rid of dead foliage.
A favourite with garden designers, this evergreen is crowned with arching sprays of silver-purple in summer, which look lovely in dried flower arrangements. It likes a spot in either sun or dappled shade, where it will reach around 1.5m.
Gorgeous wispy, wafty yellow-green leaves topped in summer with silver plumes of flowers. This looks wonderful planted in swathes among late-summer flowering perennials or in a sunny gravel garden. It grows to about 60cm tall.
Neat mounds of blue-grey leaves topped with golden plumes in summer. This is an evergreen grass happy in sun or a little shade, somewhere it won't get waterlogged - lovely in a gravel garden or as a focal point in a flower border. It will reach around 1.4m tall.
A huge architectural grass, growing to over 2m tall, with arching golden flowerheads on grey-green leaves. It needs a spot in full sun, where it will really catch the eye as it wafts gently in the breeze. Comb through with gloved hands in early spring to get rid of dead leaves.
The cream-striped deep-green leaves give a lovely dappled effect to this graceful grass. It has silky flowers in late summer that look great right into winter. It needs a spot in full sun, where it will grow to over 1m tall.
A real stunner of an ornamental grass, which will bring a distinctly Japanese feel to your garden. Small zesty yellow-green hummocks, about 30cm talll with cascading slender leaves. Brilliant planted en masse under decideous shrubs, or in a minimalist scheme.
A very pretty grass, growing to 1.2m tall, forming compact mounds topped with gorgeously soft, fluffy pink-buff flowerheads in late summer. Plant it in a sunny spot, perhaps alongside spring bulbs that can take centre stage earlier in the year.

Each year I get a 3 week holiday at the end of January/start of February (Chinese New Year) and I've used it to do small loops in areas of Southeast Asia. One example would be a Northern Laos loop Luang Prabang-Phonsovan-Sam Neau-Nong Kiaow. So - I don't mind taking a tight circuit, though I'm not apposed to hopping around - like a week in Chiang Mai and 2 weeks on the Islands.
Not laying out what I have done - I'm wondering what any of you would do if you had another 3 weeks and could choose any travel itinerary in Southeast Asia. I'm not apposed to the idea of doing two countries, or something like that. Just curious.
To give an idea - my next plan (right now) looks like doing something in Siem Reap and heading up to 4,000 Islands.
Would love to hear what you folks would do.
I have been to most of the south east asian countries so i am considering phillipines and china or phillipines and japan?

Q: Plural possessive of the acronym COA How do I write the plural possessive of the acronym COA in APA style (which in general doesn't allow for the use of an apostrophe)?
COA = children orphaned by AIDS
Children orphaned by AIDS [acquired immunodeficiency syndrome] sounds like it ends with an 's', but it actually ends with an 'e' (for 'syndrome').
So do I write:
COA experiences,
COAs experiences, or
COAs' experiences
Which is the correct answer?

New Zealand's foreign minister is travelling to Istanbul, where he will confront the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, over his decision to use footage of the Christchurch terrorist attack at his election rallies, alongside threats that Turkey will make those responsible "pay for it".
Erdoğan's repeated use of the footage, largely in a bid to portray his chief election opponents as soft on terrorism, has infuriated the New Zealand government, which is trying to blend a message of reconciliation with the Islamic community in New Zealand with a promise to crack down on the causes of terrorism.
Auckland already held talks with the Turkish ambassador to New Zealand, but the decision of the foreign minister, Winston Peters, to deliver his message personally is an index of his concern that the country's grief is being exploited by Turkey for internal political purposes. Peters also believes the lives of New Zealanders in Turkey are being endangered by the government's rhetoric.
He is likely to meet members of Erdoğan's cabinet when he attends an emergency meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Co-operation in Istanbul, which will be addressed by Erdoğan on Friday. Among the participants will be the foreign ministers of Iran, Libya, Indonesia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Sudan, Qatar and Somalia.
"Our deputy prime minister will be confronting those comments in Turkey. He is going to set the record straight face to face," Ardern told reporters in Christchurch.
Erdoğan has used footage of the Christchurch attack at least seven times in his election rallies since Saturday, and at a recent rally he said: "You will pay for this. If New Zealand doesn't make you, we will." He then called for New Zealand to reinstate the death penalty.
"This is not an isolated event, it's something more organised," he said, later accusing the west of "preparing" the killer's manifesto and "handing it to him".
Erdoğan's use of the footage has continued even though Facebook has removed more than 1.5m videos related to the attack from its site, partly at the urging of New Zealand authorities, who are determined not to give the killer notoriety.
The Turkish president is fighting an uphill battle to maintain support for his Islamist AK party in local elections that will be held on 31 March.
At a rally this week, coinciding with a commemoration of the 1915 Gallipoli campaign – when Ottoman soldiers defeated British-led forces, including those from Australia and New Zealand – the Turkish president warned that those coming to Turkey with anti-Muslim sentiments would be going home in caskets.
Major news channels in Turkey screen Erdoğan rallies live and, as a result, footage of the attack was seen by millions of people.
In a bid to quell the row, Fahrettin Altun , the Turkish presidential communications director, said the comments made by Erdogan concerning the 1915 Gallipoli campaign were taken out of context, adding he was responding to the attacker's alleged "manifesto" posted online.
The president's video editors had blurred the images to lessen the shock of the atrocity, but the barrel of the gunman's shotgun in the foreground, as well as the shapes of the people being targeted were clearly visible, while sounds of shots being fired could be heard.
Scott Morrison, the Australian prime minister,said he had summoned the Turkish ambassador to urge the country's president to remove the footage, including from the state broadcaster. He said his ambassador to Turkey would also be meeting with members of the Turkish government to discuss what steps to take, adding that all options were on the table, including a break in diplomatic relations. He said Australians had been greatly offended by Erdoğan's words, especially the relatives of those that died during the Gallipoli campaign.
Turkish state-run media portrayed Peters' visit in a different light, suggesting the New Zealand foreign minister was coming at the invitation of Turkey's vice-president, Fuat Oktay, and the foreign minister, Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu, both of whom visited New Zealand following the terror attacks.
Pervin Buldan, the co-leader of the Peoples' Democratic Party, the third-biggest party in Turkey, accused Erdoğan's AKP of exploiting the video for the municipal elections.

Evan Fournier signs four-year contract with Knicks; what's next for the Celtics?
By Jay King
Free-agent wing Evan Fournier has reportedly agreed to a four-year contract with the New York Knicks that could be worth as much as $78 million. Here is some instant reaction from the Boston Celtics' perspective.
2021-22 impact: Josh Richardson can take over Fournier's minutes on the wing, but the Celtics will still need to replace Fournier's shooting somehow. The supporting cast around Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown doesn't have many knockdown threats. Richardson and Marcus Smart, two guards who project to play a lot, each shot 33 percent from behind the 3-point arc last season.
My initial reaction: Boston's acquisition of Richardson foreshadowed Fournier's coming departure. If the Celtics had been confident they could re-sign him to a reasonable contract, they would not have been interested in committing as much money to another shooting guard. But once the Knicks came calling with a big offer, Boston seemed reluctant to pay that price to keep Fournier long-term. In retrospect, the trade to acquire him at the deadline last season looks like a significant swing and a miss.
Though the Celtics did not give up much in the Fournier trade, they used a big piece of the Gordon Hayward trade exception to make the deal. That could have been utilized in other ways to benefit the team far more long-term. Fournier was only in a Boston uniform for 16 regular-season games and a short playoff series against the Nets.
What's next for the Celtics: Though they don't have the flexibility to chase a headline addition, they still have at least the taxpayer midlevel exception to bolster their rotation. They need more shooting and another wing with size. That could come in the same package — somebody like Rudy Gay or Otto Porter Jr. would check both boxes.
Now that Fournier is no longer an option, Boston could potentially shed enough salary to use the full midlevel exception. More likely, Brad Stevens will be on the lookout for trade possibilities to continue rounding out the Celtics rotation with veteran talent. So far, Stevens has avoided adding any long-term salary to the Boston cap this offseason. That could point to an interest in leaving the team with significant cap flexibility next summer, when Bradley Beal can become a free agent.
More to come on The Athletic later regarding Fournier's decision and all the other ways the first night of free agency impacts the Celtics.

It's bad enough that The Perfect Red Velvet is still ringing in our ears and on our playlists because it's such a well-crafted album; now we have to pester SM to release a new version of a song that we were just starting to get out of our heads.
The members of Red Velvet are up at KCon New York and, of course, you know they had to shut the show and the bad boys down. Everything is normal–Wendy is killing the vocals and Irene is slaying the visuals with everyone else occupying a space in between–and this is a solid performance by the ladies…until the second verse come in and they drop the English lyrics. This is not an Every Heart situation where the English lyrics were put into an internet translator and sung as is. It is very clear that the song was rewritten with similar but coherent lyrics that take into account phraseology, idioms, and the girl crush theme the song was going for.
Having listened to this a couple of time, there's no doubt in our minds that this version of the song was written by Charli Taft. If you've heard some of her original songs, you can recognize her style of writing immediately. You can also detect some of her production chops in other songs on the album and she has worked with the ladies in the past. The big thing for Taft is that she doesn't speak Korean (at least, not fluently) and doesn't read it, so she doesn't always get writing credit for songs that she helps shape the lyrics for. This song was likely a part of her demo for this track and now we get to hear it come full circle.
If SM doesn't release the studio version of this track, we are going to organize a class-action suit.
Note: Sorry about the poor quality; this is only version we could find that had the full song.

Biden's Perplexing Problem: Even More Accusers of Inappropriate Touching Have Come Forward
Biden's Perplexing Problem: Even More Allegations of Inappropriate Touching Have Emerged
Seven women so far have said the former vice president manhandled them — where is the apology?
By LifeZette
By PoliZette Staff | April 4, 2019
It's one thing to shake hands and hug a few people as a politician.
It's one thing to reach out to others, make a human connection, share meaningful conversation even during a harried schedule.
Those one-on-one interactions, when genuinely and intentionally offered by those in public office or those seeking public office, are usually appreciated and remembered.
But it's another thing entirely to have seven women on the record who have said former Vice President Joe Biden — and before that a longtime member of Congress who served the people of Delaware — inappropriately touched them and made them feel uncomfortable.
These people did not have to come forward and say these things now. But they did.
One wonders, Why didn't they say something before this? And is their doing so politically motivated — since the 76-year-old Biden is apparently getting ready to declare a run for the 2020 Democratic nomination?
But there are a lot of complex reasons people don't speak out immediately about actual transgressions against them.
And there is no question that today's #MeToo movement, for better or worse, has made it easier for people to speak out about things that were presumably done to them. (And one must always question the charges, as we know — too many lives can be, and have been, ruined by casual, cruel and false allegations.)
On Wednesday, Biden made a video of himself about today's concerns in the #MeToo era and shared it on Twitter. He vowed to be better going forward, to be "more mindful about respecting personal space."
He said directly to the camera, "I get it. I get it."
He said that he would do his best to behave more appropriately from this point on.
"Social norms are changing. I understand that, and I've heard what these women are saying," he said in the tweet.
"Politics to me has always been about making connections, but I will be more mindful about respecting personal space in the future. That's my responsibility and I will meet it."

— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) April 3, 2019
Some people praised Biden for his directness, for his candid "this is Joe being Joe" approach.
Others said the cellphone video was too quickly, even cheaply dashed off — that Biden looked pale, that the whole endeavor wasn't thought out more carefully, that it wasn't better handled or presented.
But even after that video circulated, several more women stepped forward late Wednesday and complained that Biden had touched them in ways that were inappropriate.
These brand new accusers are in addition to the four who had spoken out earlier.
Related: Biden, Eyeing 2020, Faces Two More Charges of Unwanted Touching
On Wednesday, an article in The Washington Post detailed the accounts of three additional women who said Biden made improper contact with them.
Lucy Flores, a former lawmaker in Nevada (shown above right at the top of this article), reacted on Twitter on Wednesday to Biden's video. She declared she was "glad" the former vice president "acknowledges that he made women feel uncomfortable with his unsolicited gestures of encouragement."
But she added that "he hasn't apologized to the women he made uncomfortable."
And that is the key.
Flores, a Democrat, said last week that in 2014, Biden made her feel uneasy when he gripped her by the shoulders, smelled her hair, and kissed her on the back of her head just as she was preparing to go on stage at a campaign rally for her lieutenant governor bid.
He was there to support her — and his unwanted, unexpected touching was the last thing she expected, she has said.
Related: Biden Says He Will Be 'More Mindful of Personal Space'
The notion of "the man never apologized" has emerged in the past about those who made women uncomfortable — or in other much more egregious ways violated them.
Biden, whom many have said is one of the most decent people to have served in government, has not yet apologized to any of these people.
Where are those apologies? And where is the real remorse — especially because in many of these cases, there is video evidence that clearly shows the unwanted touching?
The American people can be very forgiving. People in general can be. But forgiveness can only follow an apology sincerely, wholeheartedly and appropriately offered — and then a change in behavior afterward to prove the point.
Those actions shouldn't be done because they're politically prudent, either. But because they're real.

Dec 02, 2022, 11:05amUpdated on Dec 02, 2022
Fairfield's gift card program started during the pandemic as a way to help local businesses stay afloat, but the Chamber of Commerce says the program can benefit restaurants and local business year-round, especially during the holiday season.
Caleb Silver with Investopedia says the restaurant industry took a real hit during the pandemic, but Connecticut eateries have really started to recover.
"Restaurant reservations across Connecticut have recovered better than any other state in the tri-state area, up 33% from pre-pandemic levels. So, a lot of dining out in Connecticut," Silver says.
Beverly A. Balaz, of the Fairfield Chamber of Commerce, says the program has grown over the past two years.
"When we first launched the gift card program, we had about 50 businesses and this was a great way to support our local business community," Balaz says.
More people are going out to eat now, and the chamber is still running their program with even more businesses on board.
Balaz says there's no need for a plastic card anymore, and gift cards get sent right to phones or emailed digitally.
"You can have a cup of coffee there, go to dinner here, shop there. And there is so much flexibility to it," Balaz says.
It's a gift that lasts the whole year through and allows you to eat out at local Fairfield restaurants whenever you want.
Balaz says the gift card makes an easy holiday gift that can be used in many different places in Fairfield all while supporting local businesses.

Ghostbusters : Stay Puft Marshmallow Man Cubee Papercraft
Cubees . Movies
The Stay Puft Marshmallow Man (also known as Mr. Stay Puft or nicknamed 'Tubby Soft-Squeeze' by Ray and Peter) was the final enemy of the Ghostbusters in the first film. He was the chosen Destructor Form of Gozer, when Ray let the idea of a company logo "just pop in there".
(Ray:) I couldn't help it. It just popped in there. It's the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something that I loved from my childhood. Something that could never possibly destroy us: Mr. Stay Puft. (Peter:) Nice thinking, Ray. (Ray:) We used to roast Stay Puft marshmallows, at the fire at Camp Waconda. (Peter:) Ray has gone bye-bye, Egon. What do you got left? (Egon:) Sorry, Venkman. I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.

A three-judge panel of the 1st District Court of Appeal ruled Friday against physician Osakatukei Omulepu, who argued that his constitutional rights had been violated when an administrative law judge took into account his refusal to testify during a hearing. The administrative law judge's findings ultimately led to the Board of Medicine deciding last year to revoke Omulepu's medical license.
The discipline stemmed from liposuction procedures on May 15, 2015, in Miami-Dade County that resulted in one patient suffering holes in her liver and another suffering a hole in her small bowel, according to documents in the case. Omulepu was accused of puncturing the organs while use a device known as a cannula, a tube that is inserted into the body to remove fat. Both women needed to be hospitalized.
"The only inference that can be drawn is that respondent (Omelepu) violated the standard of care and committed malpractice by the reckless and improper angling of the cannula for these two procedures, resulting in the perforation of internal organs," Creasy wrote.
But Omelepu's attorney contended that such an inference violated Omelepu's rights.
Makar, in a concurring opinion, indicated the ruling could provide a framework for other physician discipline cases.

Aquilant Endoscopy has secured a contract with the Royal Gwent Hospital, based in Newport, to supply the endoscopy department with two complete Fujifilm endoscopy systems, worth £350,000, which will enable the clinicians to perform more diagnostic and surgical procedures.
The injection of state-of-the-art equipment at the Welsh district hospital - provided by the UK's exclusive distributor of Fujifilm endoscopy technology - means doctors and experienced professionals will be provided with the very latest in GI imaging equipment.
As well as the two HD processing systems, the Royal Gwent installation includes a full range of scopes and key technologies, such as the 590 colo-assist colonoscope and the SureScope 3Di imager, which will allow the user group to undertake advanced and varied procedures.
Andrew Dawe, general manager of Aquilant Endoscopy, said: "Our mission is to supply endoscopy specialists with the latest advanced technology and so we're delighted to be supporting Royal Gwent Hospital in providing the best flexible endoscopy equipment. Our service enables clinicians to have access to state-of-the-art equipment, which plays an important role in improving accurate diagnoses and more effective treatments if cancer is detected at an early stage."
Dr Miles Allison, clinical director for gastroenterology at the hospital, added: "The endoscopists at the Royal Gwent undertook a rigorous evaluation exercise of all four commonly-used brands of flexible endoscope before our tender went to Aquilant. The high-definition optical characteristics of the Fujifilm endoscopes were found to be outstanding, and the handling characteristics compare favourably with the best endoscopes on the market. The representatives from Aquilant have been very helpful for our service development and in the training with our new equipment."

Taureaux Tavern
The owners of Cochon Volant Brasserie called upon 555 International to design and build their fifth restaurant, Taureaux Tavern, in Chicago's Downtown Financial District. Located next to The Chicago Board of Trade, Taureaux introduces a breath of fresh air to the neighborhood's limited restaurant scene, targeting daytime trader clientele seeking to entertain clients in an elevated environment.
French restaurants are common in Chicago, so to shake things up, 555 International's design team pulled inspiration from our surroundings and the history of the neighborhood to enliven the storytelling layered in the interior design. Established in 1848, The Chicago Board of Trade is one of the world's oldest futures and options exchanges. Pulling cues from this historic landmark, Chicago's architectural history, and old-world banks, the interior design of the restaurant oozes traditional opulence in way that feels unpretentious and approachable.
To create a grand entrance, 555 designed and built a custom 10ft high tiered chandelier made out of copper and decorative glass. Suspended from the ceiling, the shape of the chandelier mimics the Art Deco architectural curves in the soffit and railings. Over the doorway a copper coated faceted bull sculpture marks the entrance, paying homage to the restaurant's name, which is French for "bull". Antique lighting fixtures and plaster finishes create the illusion that the restaurant has been there for years. Art hanging on the walls features authentic photos from the Chicago Board of Trade from the 1940s and 50s. Custom tile flooring and metal patterned screens on the banquets and stair risers add to the decorative nature of the space. Corner signage wrapping the building draws guests in from the street, while custom neon signage and hand painted details on bathroom doors and back bar add visual texture.

Dr. Vicki Belo leads PH delegation to int'l congress, gives sneak peek on 2023 plans
By Johanna Añes-de la Cruz Published Jan 24, 2023 9:00 am Updated Jan 24, 2023 10:44 am
BrandedUp in partnership with Belo Medical Group
"From the very beginning, almost 33 years ago, one of my visions was to make the Philippines a beauty destination," Dr. Vicki Belo shares in an exclusive interview with The Philippine STAR.
It was early evening on a Thursday at her new home in Makati. She had been busy preparing for this year's International Master Course on Aging Science (IMCAS) World Congress 2023 in Paris, where she is to deliver two talks this coming Thursday, Jan. 26. Despite her hectic schedule and with her daughter Scarlet Snow in the adjacent room having art classes, the iconic doctor graciously welcomed us and prompted us to start with the interview right on the dot at 6 p.m.
"I studied in Thailand and saw how being a beauty destination is such a big deal. Part of the things that we do then is to always give talks abroad because I want us to be recognized as the experts on Asian skin," she says.
Belo says that it's important for doctors like herself to attend conferences because it's one way for them to keep up with the trends. She adds that if there are any speakers who impressed her, she tries to invite them to the Philippines. Belo Medical Group shoulders all expenses just so these experts can share their know-hows to her team.
"I don't want the knowledge to fall far from the tree," she says.
The mother of three also loves bringing her doctors with her to international conventions not only to give them opportunities to learn, but because she knows that it makes them feel "so good." "They know that they're at par, if not more advanced than, other clinics. When they come home, they feel so proud," she says.
IMCAS congresses are a huge deal in medical aesthetics. They're platforms where practitioners the world over meet and learn from the best in the fields of dermatology, plastic surgery, and aging science. This year, it will be held from Jan. 26 to 28.
"I really want to put the Philippines on the map worldwide. So, when our papers get accepted at a congress, I get so excited because we can show something new." And Belo is more than ready to put the spotlight on Philippine doctors once again, as she has done so for decades.
On cutting-edge treatments, technologies
The skin expert debunks the common misconception that other countries are more advanced than the Philippines when it comes to cosmetic surgery when, in fact, we are so much more ahead of most of them, even those in Europe.
"Especially now that the Koreans and the Japanese are at the forefront of all of these treatments," she adds.
She says that both of her talks in the congress will be "so new" to her audience and that this year, the hot topic is all about "threads."
"The talk I'm giving is on threads for the nose," she explains, "I'm one of the authors on a book about threads. We can do fillers, but threads are better because they're more solid, they stay in place, and there's hardly any side effect."
Threads for eyebags are a new thing, says Belo, so new, in fact, that the Belo Medical Group is the only one doing it here in the Philippines.
The second talk she will be delivering is on a Belo-developed treatment for the eyes. "It's for people with monolids or sagging lids. It's a Fractional C02 which tightens skin and lifts it. We put threads to support it to open the eyes more. It's a brand-new thing and we're the ones who developed it."
Belo says she often gets emails from people asking her if they can come to the Philippines to visit and learn from her. On this, she says that it's her own way of putting the country on the map for cosmetic surgery.
"I feel like I'm the ambassador," Belo says with a smile, "Because when I studied in Thailand, I was like why isn't the Philippines like this? After all, we have very good doctors, we have skilled hands, and we are a caring society."
Belo as a one-stop shop for beauty
The celebrity doctor says that a big reason why the Belo Medical Group is far more advanced than other clinics anywhere else in the world is that they're a "one-stop shop for beauty."
"I think my talent is looking for loopholes. Early on in my career, since I have the advantage of being trained in the States and then Europe, Brazil, and Japan, I could already see that there's a very big disconnect between countries or regions in terms of cosmetic surgery."
This disconnect leads to one of the biggest perks of Belo's job, but also the most daunting—she goes around the world as regularly as she can to identify the best technologies that need to be brought to Philippine shores.
These efforts make Belo clinics no different from one-stop shops as the tireless doctor sees to it that they only use the best from all corners of the world. "That's why people fly here from other countries because they can only find the one-stop shop here," she enthuses.
On top of this, Belo and her team of experts combine procedures and products into one treatment when possible. "Parang wala pa silang narinig na ganun," Belo adds, "It takes a lot of experience and doing a lot of cases to know which procedures will work together."
She says that they are much more embracing of technology from around the world, specifically those from the US, South Korea, Japan, Thailand, and France. This is why she likens the Belo Medical Group to fusion cuisine, "That's what we are, we're a fusion clinic! It's good to combine and I think that's where Belo excels. We combine four, five, six procedures."
It's no surprise then that patients from countries like the US, Canada, and Australia fly to the country just to have procedures done by Belo. "They're not balikbayans. They're actual people from there. For them to come here to see a doctor, that's part of my dream."
The doctor as an artist
Belo recognizes the difficulty of keeping up with the fast-paced world of medical aesthetics, especially since the costs are always in the millions. The Belo Medical Group, for one, has no machine that's under Php8M, with their most expensive technology, PicoSure, costing a whopping Php14M each.
She shares that some smaller clinics would have their owners pool their resources together and buy only one or two lasers because they're too expensive and try to use what they have for everything. She explains that this is not how it should work because the beauty of lasers lies in their specific functions.
"For example, PicoSure, it's only for pigment. I'm not supposed to use it for scars or keloid," Dr. Belo shares, "We really go out of our way—we buy machines that are Rolls-Royces or Bentleys of their generation because our patients deserve them."
At the end of the day, she believes that it's the doctors who operate the machines that matter more. "I always say we're like artists. I'm a painter. It's not about the paint, it's about the artist behind it," she says.
"Belo, unfortunately, has become the clinic of last resort," she adds with a sigh. "They try everyone else first, kapag palpak na, kapag may mali na kay Belo na lang para sigurado. By that time, there's already a problem. It would've been so much easier for us to treat 'virgin skin' because there are no complications yet."
What's in store for 2023
Belo is happy that they're booked until mid-2024. "We have plans to expand into something more holistic. I'll not mention it first because gagayahin ako even before I begin," she jokes, "But yes, we're expanding from beauty to beyond. What the 'beyond' is I won't say yet."
"But what we're doing now is renovating all our clinics, making them bigger and more beautiful," she says.
Belo is also looking into opening a branch abroad, specifically in Dubai, where the income is very high and there are a lot of Filipinos. Plus, they get a lot of patients from the Middle East.
"There's just so many things to do, but Philippines first for me."

U.S. President Donald Trump and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will meet at the White House on May 3, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer confirmed Wednesday.
During the daily press briefing at the White House Spicer said that the two leaders will discuss ways to revive the peace process and to ultimately find a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Abbas and Trump spoke over the phone last month and the two agreed to meet and discuss ways to revive the peace process. The call was the first contact between the two leaders, coming after complaints by Palestinian officials that they had failed to establish contact with the Trump administration. A senior Palestinian official said the conversation was positive and lasted 10 minutes. The official added that Trump told Abbas that he knows he is committed to peace.
The Palestinian Authority's newly appointed envoy to Washington, Husam Zomlot, is working with the U.S. administration to prepare the meeting between the two leaders. Jibril Rajoub, a senior Palestinian politician and a member of Abbas' Fatah party, was also in Washington last week.

The online giant will be adding better visual effects to its product descriptions to boost its clothing site.
Dedicated to enhancing the fashion portion of its site, the online giant officially opened its 40,000 square foot photo and video studio in Williamsburg, Brookyln on Friday. Amazon has been targeting the fashion industry for the past few years, and believes this new facility will strengthen its presence in the apparel category. The new studio will serve as a place to shoot and edit images of models and editorials for the company.
According to Amazon, the 26 photo and video bays inside the glass studio can produce more than 19,000 images a day. These new catalog-ready photos will make products shots for Amazon Fashion look less like stock photography. Actual models will be replacing mannequins and hangers during photo shoots to create a more lookbook feel. Amazon is working to improve their fashion site image and increase the amount of exposure for their products.

Tour of City Cemetery 11 April 2019 11am - 1pm This tour, facilitated by Tom Hartley, will introduce participants to the history of Belfast going back 130 years. In the City Cemetery, the inscriptions tell the story of finance, empire, the rise of northern unionism and the golden era of industrialisation in Belfast. One of the enduring qualities of the tour is its capacity to remind us today that the political and cultural identity of late 19th Century Belfast was much more complex and layered.

Immunity Passport — Part 2: Specification
In my previous post, I explored the topic of COVID-19 immunity passports. If you haven't read it, I highly recommend you do. In this post, I will propose a technical specification for building a digital immunity passport.
The anatomy of an ICVP
The International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis (ICVP) is an official document issued by the World Health Organization that serves as proof of immunization against certain diseases. It's typically used as proof of immunization against yellow fever, which is mandatory in many countries. Occasionally it's used for other diseases, such as polio. It's the ideal starting point for designing a digital immunity passport.
Let's take a look at the different sections of the ICVP and highlight the different standards that could be used to represent them:
As you can see, the ICVP can be split into 3 parts:
Identity, which corresponds to ICAO's Document 9303 standard.
Medical, which corresponds to HL7's FHIR standard.
Signature, which corresponds to W3C's Verifiable Credentials standard.
A digital immunity passport needs a way to identify its subject. Without it, we wouldn't know which person is certified to be immune to a disease. People would trade them, and they would lose their purpose.
The ICVP identifies a person with their name, birth date, sex, nationality, and national identification document. This is the least common denominator of most identification documents issued in the world. While the vast majority of people use the ICVP for international travel and therefore hold a passport, we can't assume that everyone being issued an immunity passport will have a passport. In fact, as of 2018, only 42% of Americans had passports. In other countries, the numbers might be even lower. If we can't use the passport as the universal identity document on which to build this digital standard, what else can we use?
A Passport, a standard ICAO Doc 9303 TD3 document.
The passport is only one of the 3 travel documents described in ICAO's Document 9303 specification: TD1, TD2 and TD3 (passport). They all have one thing in common: a Machine-Readable Zone (MRZ). Here's what it looks like:
An ICAO Doc 9303 TD3 Machine-Readable Zone.
If your country issues a national identity card, it's very likely that it respects the TD1 standard and features an MRZ on its back:
A national ID card, a standard ICAO Doc 9303 TD1 document.
I haven't done the math yet, but I suspect that over 50% of the world's population holds at least one of these documents (TD1 or TD3). If that's the case, it could be the ideal standard on which to build the digital identity standard required for a digital immunity passport.
Here's how the content of the above MRZs might look like in JSON:
We now have what looks like a standard way to digitally represent a person's identity that is verifiable against an official identification document.
A digital immunity passport needs to indicate the details of a person's immunization status. Since we don't yet have a vaccine, and we don't know if and when we'll have one, it needs to be flexible enough to account for alternative ways to assess immunity, such as positive antibody test results. The details of an intervention or test ' such as the method, manufacturer, or lot number ' should also be present to increase certainty. As we learn more about the disease, we might adjust what tests, methods, manufacturers, or even lot numbers we recognize as indicative of immunity.
There are a lot of standards in the field of healthcare, but the most popular ones come from the HL7 organization. Their latest recommendation, Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR), is the perfect solution for modeling medical claims.
Here's how the yellow fever vaccination event represented in the ICVP example might look like using FHIR's Immunization resource when serialized to JSON:
Because we don't yet have a vaccine for COVID-19, we need an alternative way to demonstrate indicators of immunity. The most common way is to test for the presence of antibodies. You might have seen these tests before:
SARS-CoV-2 IgG/IgM rapid immunoassay antibody test (via Time)
Fortunately, the LOINC organization (maintainers of the leading database and universal standard for identifying medical laboratory observations) has been very responsive to recent events and already published their SARS-CoV-2 guidelines and codes. In the case of SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgM rapid immunoassay antibody test results, we're interested in codes 94508-9 and 94507-1.
Here's how these test results might look like using FHIR's Observation resource when serialized to JSON:
As you can see, we have a standard way to digitally describe vaccination, antibody testing, and pretty much any medical observation you might think of, thanks to FHIR and its ecosystem.
A digital immunity passport needs credibility. Anyone can copy the JSON above and edit it to make it look like they're immune to COVID-19. With paper documents, we use signatures and official stamps to make documents more difficult to fake and give them some credibility. What's the digital equivalent? Digital signatures.
A digital signature uses public-key cryptography to mathematically prove that some piece of data ' in our case the above JSON representing a person's identity and medical claims ' hasn't been tampered with and was verified by the specified entity (e.g., a clinician, a hospital, a government). Here's what a digital signature might look like:
JSON Web Token with an HMAC-SHA256 digital signature (in blue)
W3C's Verifiable Credentials initiative attempts to make credentials, such as identity and medical claims, verifiable. They explain how claims and signature all fit together, and describe the whole process, from issuing to verifying credentials. This is exactly what we need.
W3C's Verifiable Credentials roles and information flow (via Verifiable Credentials)
Here's an example of a verifiable credential given the above identity (Anna Maria Eriksson) and medical observation (SARS-CoV-2 IgM/IgG antibody presence):
This is starting to look like a very promising digital alternative to the traditional ICVP, using only widely recognized standards. Could it be the essence of a digital immunity passport?

Whaddup everyone, WhaddupNico here again!
I asked my Twitter a few months ago what they wanted next and it was some Super Nintendo / Super Famicom logos.
These logos are all free for use, but giving credit for the remasters is always very handy and helpful, so thank you if you did!
However, I do not own these franchises nor do I own these logos. The reason for remaking these in a higher resolution is to support educational purposes or under fair use. If you want to print these or sell these, you should contact the respectul owners of these set games first.
You can get the logo's over here, with the vector files for upscaling!

The future of res...
The future of research in tough times
'Efficiency must not come at the cost of effectiveness' was the message coming out of the recent JISC research conference, write Matthew Dovey and Nicola Yeeles of JISC
What do research-intensive institutions need to do to maintain and expand their expertise? A recent review of higher education in the UK highlighted the issues of efficiency and effectiveness. Universities need to maintain research concentration based on excellence, by funding the very best research ideas. However, they should not spread their resources so thinly that they risk damaging world-class research areas within research-intensive universities. These were some of the issues discussed at the JISC research conference held recently in London.
Martin Hall, vice chancellor of Salford University, delivered the keynote presentation at the conference. He said: 'The real change in research is that we are now swamped with information. Anyone in an active field like medicine will know that by the time you've done a literature search, more papers have been published. This is a fundamentally different research problem.'
In his presentation, Hall looked ahead to what the university of the future might look like and said that he would put an open-access repository at its heart. At Salford, it is now compulsory for all staff to put research data in an open repository. Prizes are given out for the most contributions to the repository and researchers have found that their citations have gone through the roof.
Salford is not the only university to do this – Southampton is another good example – but some institutions have not embraced this sort of approach.
Responding to a question from Peter Burnhill, director of the EDINA data centre at the University of Edinburgh, about how widely his views were shared across the sector, Hall said: 'We haven't got the message through to vice chancellors in significant numbers. The issue of open access is being narrowly contained as a research issue around publications – but it speaks to the open content agenda too. We have been a victim of compartmentalisation.'
Wim Leibrand, chief executive of the SURF foundation in the Netherlands, agreed. He said: 'It is highly interesting to ask the question "How will we develop and build an information infrastructure to deal with the new emerging data-intensive research questions?" If you want to profit from all the technologies we have at the moment then it does make sense to put an open-access archive at the heart of the university – and that can add real value not only to researchers at the institutions but also to society as a whole.'
Measuring effectiveness
The question of how to measure the effectiveness of such a publishing model was simple, according to Leibrand – by the usage levels.
Alma Swan, a consultant at Key Perspectives who has written widely on open access, added that effectiveness comes through visibility, usage and academic impact. She argued that the visibility of open access comes from the web search engines because repositories are indexed by Google.
She said: 'All you need to do is put a name or keywords into the search engine and you will get free copies of any papers that have been made available.
Martin Hall, Salford University
'Visibility is evidenced by usage we see from repositories. The University of California [repository] has seen 11.4 million views in the eight years it has been running and has about 36,500 items. The University of Liege has seen 129,000 downloads in just the last year.'
Such numbers are appealing to institutions that are trying to attract, retain and support their researchers on a shrinking budget, because research reputation is very important. For research-intensive institutions, this is about maintaining a high-profile presence in the research arena. For those that are newer to research, the concern is about building a reputation from scratch. Reputation is built on the opinion of funders, so we need to ensure that institutions are assisted to manage their research information in the most efficient ways possible. The views of outside academics are also vital to how an institution is perceived. Making research more visible through open-access platforms can help to reach a wider audience.
And the benefits of being efficient and effective go beyond the institutions themselves. According to evidence submitted to the UK's recent higher-education review, for example, research contributes £30 billion annually to the country, which is equivalent to two per cent of gross domestic product. Now is the time to re-evaluate and reconfigure how we manage our research and our researchers. We can't afford to stand still.

Vanheim (óskandináv: "Vanaheimr") egyike a kilenc világnak a skandináv mitológiában, a Ván-istenek lakóhelye. Úgy tartják, hogy a vánok korábban léteztek, mint az ázok, s úgy ismerték őket, mint békeszerető isteneket, az életet és boldogságot többre tartották az erőnél. Az "Ynglinga saga" szerint Vanheim a Fekete-tengertől északra fekszik, valahol a Don folyónál. Az Áz–ván háború után a vánok és az ázok közötti békekötés egyik feltételeként Njörd, Frey és Freyja mint béketúszok Asgardban éltek. Az ázok Hönirt és Mimirt küldték a Vanheimbe a béke biztosítékaként.

Az Eddában csak egyszer említik:
Vánok világában
nevelték nemes erők,
elküldték túsznak az ázokhoz;
tudjuk, visszajön
világok végén,
megtér vánokhoz megint.

Mivel azt írják, hogy Njörd visszatér ide a Ragnarök után, feltételezhető, hogy Vanheimet mégsem érinti a világok pusztulása.

1. To understand human life in depth.
2. To bring heightened self awareness.
As Ashvin started on day 1, I realized that I'm with the right person. With his profound knowledge and mastery, I could gather ultimate self awareness tools. I also learnt what is practicing what you preach because of Ashvin. Personally, I've got the biggest breakthrough when within 15 minutes I got rid of procrastination forever. On the last day I've take a decision to join Ashvin's Master Practitioner program and complete NLP Train the Trainer program as well. Your life is a very different experience when you are with the MASTER.

En théorie de la complexité des algorithmes, un système de preuve interactive est un protocole formel de démonstration de théorèmes qui fait intervenir deux participants qui échangent des messages. Cela permet de définir des classes de complexité intéressantes, notamment la classe IP qui est le modèle utilisé dans le théorème PCP qui caractérise la classe NP.

Définitions
Formellement, un système de preuve interactive est une machine abstraite qui modélise un échange de messages entre deux protagonistes : un prouveur et un vérificateur ; ceux-ci communiquent afin que le prouveur convainque le vérificateur de la véracité d'une proposition qui porte sur l'appartenance ou la non-appartenance d'une chaîne de caractères à un langage formel donné. Le prouveur a des ressources de calcul illimitées tandis que le vérificateur a des ressources limitées. Les deux protagonistes interagissent aussi longtemps qu'il est nécessaire au vérificateur pour trouver une réponse au problème et être convaincu qu'elle est la bonne.

Deux propriétés doivent être satisfaites :
 complétude : si le fournisseur de preuve et le vérificateur suivent le protocole alors le vérificateur doit toujours tôt ou tard accepter la preuve ;
 consistance : si la proposition est fausse, la probabilité qu'un fournisseur de preuve malveillant puisse convaincre un vérificateur que la proposition est vraie est infime.

NP

La classe NP peut être redéfinie à l'aide de systèmes de preuve interactive. Un problème de décision (par exemple le problème de coloration avec trois couleurs) est dans NP s'il existe un système de preuve interactive tel que :
 le prouveur est une machine déterministe sans limite de ressources qui construit, à partir de l'instance (par exemple un graphe à colorier) un certificat (une coloration des sommets) ;
 le vérificateur est une machine déterministe en temps polynomial qui vérifie que le certificat est valide (que la coloration attribue des couleurs différentes aux sommets voisins). Il accepte l'instance dans ce cas (le graphe est bien coloriable avec trois couleurs) et la rejette sinon.

Protocoles d'Arthur-Merlin
La classe AM est une classe de complexité définie à l'aide de systèmes de preuve interactive, comme la classe NP, sauf que le vérificateur est une machine probabiliste en temps polynomial.

IP
La classe IP est la classe définie comme AM, c'est-à-dire que le vérificateur est une machine probabiliste en temps polynomial mais il y a un nombre de rounds d'échanges de messages entre le prouveur et le vérificateur.

I have lived in the East Marsh Ward for over 30 years and have represented the ward since 2003, winning the ward from a Labour Councillor and then Deputy Leader of the Council.
I am married to my wife Carol and we have three grown up sons, and two smashing grandchildren (Nathan and James). I was born and bred in Grimsby and have lived here all my life except for 9 months while I was working in Canada. I know many people call my hometown, but I would not want to live anywhere else, and don't forget even the great Elton John actually sang a song called "Grimsby".
Prior to being an active member of the Liberal Democrat Party I used to work for Birds Eye as maintenance fitter until I developed epilepsy in 1988. I then went onto University and studied a degree in Politics and Sociology and at York University gaining a BA Hons Degree (2:1).
After leaving University I supported a local epilepsy charity, and spoke at a number of national conferences. Our dog Jip use to know exactly when I was going to have a seizure and would pin me into the chair well in advance of any oncoming seizure, he would also follow me around the house and keep me safe during the seizure. The National Society for Epilepsy heard about this, and I appeared on the TV programme "Carol Vorderman and Mysteries". I was filming for twelve hours for just a ten minutes slot. Carol came around to our house and we filmed in People's Park, she's really down to Earth – well that's my claim to fame.
Now back to politics, prior to May of this year I was the Chair of the Children and Young People's Scrutiny Panel, and I still have a great interest in all matters relating to children's services. I am school governor at Queen Mary Infant School and the Chair of the Local Authority Pupil Referral Unit.

Among the most common electrical wiring issues is regarding how to wire a switch. When employing switches in your house is fairly straightforward, wiring a single might not be that quick for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is really quite simple to wire. There are actually several types of switches, but for this example, let's say you happen to be setting up a single-pole toggle switch, an exceptionally widespread swap (and also the most straightforward).
You will find 3 colors of wires in a very regular single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and inexperienced. Splice the black wire in two and hook up them to the terminal screws - just one on major and also the other on the base screw on the change. The white wire serves like a supply of uninterrupted energy and is also usually related to a light coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Hook up the green wire for the ground screw of one's swap.
These steps would generally be adequate for making a standard switch get the job done and not using a issue. On the other hand, should you are certainly not confident you can achieve the process appropriately and safely you far better permit the professionals do it as a substitute. Right after all, you will find a motive why this endeavor is among the most typical electrical wiring queries questioned by the majority of people.
For a few reason, the best way to wire a ceiling fan can also be one among essentially the most frequent electrical wiring queries. To simplify this endeavor, you can use a single swap for any single ceiling fan. To wire the admirer, it is really simply a matter of connecting the black wire in the ceiling fan on the black wire in the swap. If there is a lightweight, the blue wire really should be linked on the black wire in the swap too.
You can find reasons why these are generally one of the most typically asked electrical wiring concerns. 1, quite a few imagine it's straightforward to do, and two, these are the widespread electrical duties at your home. But then you definately should not set your security in danger in the goal to economize. The stakes could even be a lot bigger when you attempt to save cash and do an electrical wiring job without ample know-how or encounter.
