My Cluttered Corner: American Crafts Giveaway!!
Those of you who have been around here before know I am a BIG American Crafts fan. Have been since the get-go (as far as my scrapbooking days go;) ) so it was a HUGE excitement and honor for me to be asked to Guest Design for them.
Even as a Cameo user I still always use Thickers for titles--fast, easy and pack such a great punch!
I ♥ the little Burlap bow! and I covered the white tacks with Therm O Web Zots so I could adhere American Crafts buttons to them.
2. For a second entry, follow my blog and leave me ANOTHER comment telling me you now do or already did follow.
3. For a third entry, go over to my Guest Design Post on the American Crafts blog and leave a comment there. Come back here and leave me ANOTHER comment telling me you did so.
Be sure to leave your email address if it is not clearly linked to your profile. I will leave the giveaway open through Sunday! Good luck and thanks for stopping by!
I just love your work! The stamping on your 4th project is just adorable!
Love your simple style- I'm really liking your One second later layout! Great title and great colors too!
I visited AC and left a comment about your cute card! Thanks for the chance!
I can relate to the need to be fast - in fact your life and mine are very similar: a FT job and 2 kids, one boy and one girl, except my kids are much older, 11 & 17, so they don't need me as much!
I have a bit more free time because of that!
Congrats on your GD position!
I will be checking out the blog shortly!

Concerts and performances of several genres is an important part of The Medieval Week. Our program includes concerts where the emphasis is on medieval music both as a solo concerts and as group performances. We also recreates events from the Middle Ages through performances and theater games. The performances will often include sword and axe fights, musical performances, dancing or similar. There are also lectures, storytellings, literary events and art exhibitions.


These stories are simple narratives typically of folk origin dealing with supernatural beings. They may be written or told for the amusement of children or may have a more sophisticated narrative containing supernatural or obviously improbable events, scenes, and personages and often having a whimsical, satirical, or moralistic character.
The term embraces popular folktales such as "Cinderella" and "Puss in Boots," as well as art of later invention, such as those by Hans Christian Andersen.
It is often difficult to distinguish between tales of literary and oral origin, because folktales have received literary treatment from early times, and literary tales can often be traced back to oral tradition.
Fairy Tales is the usual English term for a group of oral narratives centered on magical tests, quests, and transformations, which are found throughout Europe and in many parts of Asia too. They are defined by their plots, which follow standard basic patterns, and have been classified by Antti Aarne and Stith Thompson, The Types of the Folktale (1961); their function is to be oral entertainment for adults as well as children, and telling them well is a skilled art.
The term 'fairy tale' only appeared in the 18th century, almost certainly as a translation of the French Contes des Fées, the title of a book by Madame d'Aulnois published in 1698 and translated into English the following year. It is universally understood, but not in fact accurate, since many of the best-loved stories have no fairies in them, though magic abounds; consequently some scholars prefer the terms 'Wonder Tales' or 'Magic Tales'.
These tales are found in oral folktales and in literary form. Their history is particularly difficult to trace, because only the literary forms can survive. Still, the evidence of literary works at least indicates that they have existed for thousands of years, although not perhaps recognized as a genre; the name "fairy tale" was first ascribed to them by Madame d'Aulnoy.
Literary tales are found over the centuries all over the world, and when they collected them, folklorists found them in every culture.
The work of the Brothers Grimm influenced other collectors, both inspiring them to collect tales. They believed the tales of a country were particularly representative of it, to the neglect of cross-cultural influence.
Andrew Lang was able to draw on not only the written tales of Europe and Asia, but those collected by ethnographers, to fill his "coloured" fairy books series.
They also encouraged other collectors, as when Yei Theodora Ozaki created a collection, Japanese Fairy Tales (1908), after encouragement from Lang.
The RNU Press specialises in Accurate Reprints of Japanese Fairy Tales and others for clients who want to capture the original beauty and flavour of these wonderful books.

A short introduction to the bang and its usage through the demo and details of three basic exercises. Relative positions of the head, elbow and hands are explained. The how-to and purpose of the antagonistic twisting movements of the hands are made clear. In short, a good quick introduction to get started with the correct practice of the bang (less than eight minutes in length).
Excellent introduction to using the Taiji Bang- very clear demonstration of the three basic exercises to introduce you to this device and the yin yang split involved. Great for developing wrists and using the body correctly centred, but active.

France launches 'healthy' advert rules
By Chris Mercer
05-Mar-2007 - Last updated on 19-Jul-2008 at 15:48 GMT
Related tags: Nutrition
All adverts for food and drink in France must now carry healthy
eating messages or companies will face fines, under rules launched
by the government to tackle obesity.
Food and drink firms must use one of four health messages on all broadcast and print adverts for their products. Failure to do so could see them fined 1.5 per cent of their advertising budget. The move is France's answer to the same obesity and junk food problems causing increasing concern in many western nations. Messages that can appear on ads are: "Avoid snacking between meals", "Avoid eating too much salt, sugar or fat", "take regular exercise" and "eat at least five portions of fruit and vegetables every day". In true bureaucratic French style, the law also states that messages on televised and print adverts must take up at least seven per cent of the screen or page. On radio, the message must be read aloud immediately after the advert. Around 12 per cent of French people were obese and 29 per cent overweight in 2006, according to official figures. Children have been increasingly affected, with nearly fifth of those under eight years old certified as obese. The new advert rules gained muted support from France's food and drink industry association, Association Nationale des Industries Alimentaires (ANIA), which had feared stricter measures along the lines of the UK's ban on junk food advertising to children. The group said it was "engaging strongly [with government] on all fronts" to ensure consumers had a balanced diet. ANIA president Alain Bazot was unavailable for comment Thursday morning. Most opposition to the new rules has come from consumer campaign groups, who wanted to see a UK-style ban on junk food ads to young people. "Will these health messages be understood by young people? I doubt it," said Jean-Paul Geai, of France's largest consumer group, UFC Que Choisir. "Instead of following the opinions of public health experts, or the UK and Sweden, which have banned television adverts aimed at children, France has succumbed to the industry sirens."  A test message that Que Choisir placed on a breakfast cereal advert last year was missed by almost half the people who saw it, the group claimed. Debate has raged in several countries over the amount of influence adverts can have on young peoples' purchasing choices. Industry has played down the link, citing several other factors. But Que Choisir claims adverts "play an active part in children's awareness of food and diet".

Finding a storage unit can be an overwhelming task, especially if you aren't familiar with all of the options and features available. It's best to assess all of your storage needs before you even search for a local storage facility.
Consider how long you might need the storage unit. Many facilities offer discounts for long-term storage, but some may also have specials for temporary rentals.
Estimate how much space you will require. Save money by only renting the space you need. Feel free to use the self storage calculator to help you. Many facilities will store larger items including cars, camper and other motorized vehicles.
How often will you need to access the unit? Some facilities are accessible 24/7 and may even have drive-up access. Hours of operations range from facility to facility and should be taken into consideration depending on your needs.
Are any of the items you plan to store sensitive to temperature or humidity? If so, you will most likely need a climate-controlled storage unit. Typically the following items need to be stored indoors with some type of climate-control: leathers, furs, clothing, paintings, film, photographs, furniture, antiques, musical instruments, wine, paper, software, DVDs, CDs and electronics.
All storage facilities should have secure units, but if you require additional security for your possessions ask the facility if they have any of the following: fencing, surveillance cameras, motion lights, alarms, guards or a police presence.
You may also want to consider mobile storage for your items. If you decide to use mobile storage, a unit will be brought to you and removed after you have packed it. The unit will be stored at the facility or can be shipped to another location. The cost and features of mobile storage are comparable to self-storage but if you require regular access to your belongings, it may not be the best option for your needs.
Check out more detailed storage tips on the left hand side of this page. There's a storage solution for every situation.

Jim Devoe, a dining manager at McElroy Commons, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday at the age of 62. On Monday, a message board with his photo was set up in Mac with messages written from students and dining staff. A table with flowers and a Boston College Superfan hat was placed next to the message board.
Devoe worked as a manager for BC Dining for over 30 years. Many of his peers knew him as a talented guitar player and singer.
On Sunday morning, Devoe, who was set to begin his shift in Mac at 11, was performing his usual morning rituals in his backyard and was talking to his neighbor. His wife, who was upstairs at the time, began to hear her dogs barking loudly, so she ran downstairs. Devoe had collapsed on the floor, and the neighbor had already called 911. He died before the ambulances arrived. His wife called BC Dining shortly after to tell them the news.
Devoe was known to be a nice man by his peers—sometimes even too nice.
A month ago, a new student worker joined the dining staff who was not meeting expectations. He was a slow worker and was not communicating well with customers. One day, he showed up to work over an hour late while Devoe was the manager on duty. He could have easily sent the young man home and fired him, but he wanted to give him another chance.
The next shift, the worker came back with his shirt encrusted with food—he had apparently not washed it since the shift before. Instead of yelling at him, Devoe went to his office where he kept a couple extra clean shirts and gave it to the worker to change into. He had a conversation with the worker and let him know that he wanted to keep him, but he had to make some changes.
Now, the worker is doing well at the job, according to Michael Forcier, general manager at Mac. Because Devoe trusted in the worker and gave him an extra chance, the worker has shaped up.
Devoe's son, Tom, graduated from BC in 2011. Tom was able to attend BC tuition-free because his father worked here. Devoe worked at BC for all of Tom's life and always had season tickets to BC football and hockey games. He even handed his son his diploma at graduation.
"The same passion he had for BC he had for everything in life—for his family, for his friends, [and] for playing guitar," Tom said.
Calling hours will be held on Friday from 3 to 7 p.m. with a service at the Tighe Hamilton Funeral Home at 6:30 p.m. in Hudson, Mass.


The 30mm x 173 GAU-8/A ammunition was among the most effective ammunition used in Operation Desert Storm with proven performance against all targets, including tanks, armored and light vehicles. The 30mm lightweight family of ammunition was developed to optimize the air-to-ground mission of the U.S. Army AH-64 Apache helicopter. This ammunition family is also compatible with all 30mm x 113 gun systems. The PGU-13/B HEI High Explosive Incendiary round employs a standard M505 fuze and explosive mixture with a body of naturally fragmenting material that is effective against lighter vehicle and material targets.

Walter Lange (* 26. Dezember 1904 in Riga; † 24. Mai 1980 in Bomlitz) war ein deutsch-baltischer Richter. Bekannt wurde er als Jäger und Studentenhistoriker.

Leben
Als Deutsch-Balte besuchte Lange in Riga das Tideböhlsche Privatgymnasium und das Städtische Deutsche Gymnasium (Neuhumanistische Abteilung). Nachdem er 1924 das Abitur bestanden hatte, immatrikulierte er sich an der Universität Lettlands für Rechtswissenschaft. Seit dem Herbst Fechtbodist der Fraternitas Baltica wurde er bereits am 14. Februar 1925 in das Corps aufgenommen. 1926 wechselte er an die Universität Leipzig, an der er in den Vorstand des Allgemeinen Studentenausschusses gewählt wurde. In Leipzig war er 1. Vorsitzender des Verbandes studierender Balten und Vorstandsmitglied des Zentralverbandes Auslandsdeutscher Studenten in Deutschland. 1928 wurde er in Leipzig zum Dr. iur. promoviert.

Riga
Von Mai 1928 bis Januar 1929 war er jüngerer Gerichtsamtskandidat (Referendar) in Riga. Von Februar bis Mai 1929 genügte er der Wehrpflicht in den Lettischen Streitkräften. Anschließend war er bis Mai 1930 beim Rigaer Oberkriegsgericht tätig. Von Juni 1930 bis März 1931 war er Gehilfe des Justitiars der Rigaer Kaufmannskammer. Im April 1931 graduierte er in Riga zum Magister iuris. Im selben Monat ging er als Gehilfe zu Edwin Magnus. In Messezeiten war er Dolmetscher. Als Gehilfe des vereidigten Rechtsanwalts V. von Brzeziński wurde er im September 1932 in die Rechtsanwaltskammer Lettlands aufgenommen. Vom selben Monat an nahm ihn die Deutsche Gesandtschaft Riga als Rechtsreferenten in Beschlag. Als Mitglied des Deutschen Jägerbundes in Lettland war er von 1933 bis 1939 Vorsitzender der Jagdsektion und des Ehrenrates. Die Deutsche Jägerschaft wählte ihn 1937 zum Ehrenmitglied. Als vereidigter Rechtsanwalt betrieb er ab Januar 1938 eine Kanzlei in Riga.

Umsiedlung

Durch die Umsiedlung der Baltendeutschen kam er im Dezember 1939 ins Deutsche Reich. Im Januar 1940 trat er in den Justizdienst, zunächst beim Amtsgericht Pasewalk, dann ab April 1940 als Hilfsrichter beim Amtsgericht in Hohensalza. Ab Dezember 1940 war er kurzzeitig bei der Luftwaffe (Wehrmacht) und beim Reichskommissariat Ostland. Anschließend kam er im Heer (Wehrmacht) zur 9. Schwadron des Kuban-Kosaken-Regiments 4. Zuletzt war er Fahnenjunker-Unteroffizier. Im April 1941 wurde er planmäßiger Landgerichtsrat am Landgericht Hohensalza. Im Februar 1945 geriet er während der Schlacht um Posen verwundet in sowjetische Kriegsgefangenschaft.

Er kam in mehrere Gulags Nordrusslands, ins Gefängnis von Archangelsk (ein Jahr), auf die Solowezki-Inseln und in Gruben des Donezbeckens (Winter 1948). In der Gefangenschaft wurde er 1949 aufgrund eines Kollektivschuld-Erlasses von Josef Stalin zu 25 Jahren Zwangsarbeit verurteilt, weil er in der 1. Kosaken-Division gedient hatte. Dass er bereits im April 1950 nach Hause kam, lag nach seinem ausführlichen Gefangenschaftsbericht daran, dass er sich als des Russischen kundiger Schreiber selbst in die Entlassungsliste eingetragen hatte – und aus dem Massentransport nicht mehr herausgeholt werden konnte. In Göttingen und Wuppertal verbrachte er ein halbes Jahr in Heimkehrerlazaretten.

Von November 1950 bis Juli 1955 war er beim Amtsgericht Mülheim an der Ruhr Landgerichtsrat z. Wv. und beim Landgericht Duisburg Richter in verschiedenen Zivilkammern. Ab August 1955 war er planmäßiger Amtsgerichtsrat am Amtsgericht Oberhausen.

Ruhestand
Kurz nach seiner Pensionierung am 1. Juni 1964 erwarb er ein Grundstück in Benefeld, Landkreis Fallingbostel. Mit seiner Frau schuf er dort "ein Paradies für Mensch und Tier". Zu den Hausfesten kamen alte und junge Deutsch-Balten; die jungen brachten Lange 1960 als Traditionsphilister zur Curonia Goettingensis. Sein alter Ornithologenfreund Nikolaus Heinrich von Transehe wohnte ganz in der Nähe in Honerdingen.

Familie
Lange heiratete am 21. Juni 1931 Helene Baronesse von der Osten-Sacken (* 1904), Tochter des Mitauer Landgerichtspräsidenten Otto Baron von der Osten-Sacken († 1929) und seiner Frau Nina geb. Fedorow († 1937). Aus der Ehe ging 1932 der Sohn Dr. phil. Peer Lange hervor. Die Ehe wurde 1950 geschieden. Die zweite Ehe ging Lange am 23. Dezember 1954 mit Rosmarie Schmidt (* 11. März 1926) ein. Ihre Eltern sind der Rechtsanwalt und Notar Dr. iur. Georg Schmidt und seine Frau Margaret geb. Edle von Metnitz († 1946).

Werke
Lange schrieb Publikationen zu erbrechtlichen und zivilprozesslichen Fragen in lettischer Sprache (Riga 1937). Er war Mitarbeiter am Sammelwerk Deutsche Rechtsprechung. In Westdeutschland veröffentlichte er zahlreiche Artikel in deutschen und ausländischen Jagdzeitschriften. Er schrieb mehrere Bücher über Jagden in europäischen Ländern. Im Verein für corpsstudentische Geschichtsforschung erwarb er sich hohes Ansehen.

In a static analysis the time dimension is not involved. The loading is assumed to be applied in a quasi-static way, i.e. so slow that inertia effects can be neglected. A static analysis is defined by the key word *STATIC. A static step can be geometrically linear or nonlinear. In both cases a Lagrangian point of view is taken and all variables are specified in the material frame of reference . Thus, the stress used internally in CalculiX is the second Piola-Kirchhoff tensor acting on the undeformed surfaces.
For geometrically linear calculations the infinitesimal strains are taken (linearized version of the Lagrangian strain tensor), and the loads do not interfere with each other. Thus, the deformation due to two different loads is the sum of the deformation due to each of them. For linear calculations the difference between the Cauchy and Piola-Kirchhoff stresses is neglected.
For geometrically nonlinear calculations, the full Lagrangian strain tensor is used. A geometrically nonlinear calculation is triggered by the parameter NLGEOM on the *STEP card. It is also automatically triggered (whether the parameter NLGEOM is used or not) by nonlinear material behavior (e.g. *HYPERELASTIC, *PLASTIC.., but NOT for *USER MATERIAL). The step is usually divided into increments, and the user is supposed to provide an initial increment length and the total step length on the *STATIC card. The increment length can be fixed (parameter DIRECT on the *STATIC card) or automatic. In case of automatic incrementation, the increment length is automatically adjusted according to the convergence characteristics of the problem. In each increment, the program iterates till convergence is reached, or a new attempt is made with a smaller increment size. In each iteration the geometrically linear stiffness matrix is augmented with an initial displacement stiffness due to the deformation in the last iteration and with an initial stress stiffness due to the last iteration's stresses . For the output on file the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress is converted into the Cauchy or true stress, since this is the stress which is really acting on the structure.
Special provisions are made for cyclic symmetric structures. A cyclic symmetric structure is characterized by N identical sectors, see Figure 108 and the discussion in next section. Static calculations for such structures under cyclic symmetric loading lead to cyclic symmetric displacements. Such calculations can be reduced to the consideration of just one sector, the so-called datum sector, subject to cyclic symmetry conditions, i.e. the right boundary of the sector exhibits the same displacements as the left boundary, in cylindrical coordinates (NOT in rectangular coordinates!). The application of these boundary conditions is greatly simplified by the use of the keyword cards *SURFACE, *TIE and *CYCLIC SYMMETRY MODEL, defining the nodes on left and right boundary and the sector size. Then, the appropriate multiple point constraints are generated automatically. This can also be used for a static preload step prior to a perturbative frequency analysis.

Artificial Womb Facility Concept Revealed
EctoLife Rendering | Image by EctoLife
By Addie Anderson - Freelance Writer
Babies grown inside pods have been a dystopic trope in science fiction since before Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, but a startling new concept video shows how these facilities may look in real life.
For now, "the world's first artificial womb facility," EctoLife, remains in the imagination of Hashem Al-Ghaili, a biotechnologist and filmmaker. However, Al-Ghaili claims the idea stems from over 50 years of "groundbreaking scientific research."
In theory, a single EctoLife facility could grow 30,000 human babies each year, powered solely by renewable energy. The artificial womb technology would remove the pain of childbirth through machinery, address infertility, and mitigate prematurity.
The video states that parents who purchased the "elite package" would be able to customize their baby's traits, including strength, hair color, eye color, and skin color. Moreover, scientists would be able to identify and mitigate the risk of genetic diseases.
The baby's parents would be able to use a smartphone app to easily track the health of their child. Furthermore, a 360° camera would allow the parents to view their growing child through a VR headset.
The concept video also states that music and words would be played for the baby to aid cognitive development. Within the smartphone app, parents would be able to speak or sing to their growing babies from any location. The fictional facility would also offer vests that allow parents to feel the baby's kicks, simulating the real experience.
Moreover, EctoLife could, in theory, allow infertile parents to have their own biological children. The video also states that the technology would aid several countries such as Japan, Bulgaria, and South Korea which are grappling with low birth rates.
Currently, the concept video has over one million views on YouTube and over 6,000 comments.
Although artificial wombs remain in the realm of make-believe, Al-Ghaili believes the technology is ready and facilities may become available within the next decade.
Professor Joyce Harper, head of the Reproductive Science and Society Group at the University College London Institute for Women's Health, concurred with Al-Ghaili.
"I have no doubt that at some point, most people will be produced by IVF. And that [EctoLife] would be a possibility. In science, I think you should never say never," she argued.
"From a theoretical standpoint it's possible," added Andrew Shennan, professor of obstetrics at King's College London. "It's just a matter of providing a correct environment with fuel and oxygen."
As for ethical concerns regarding the gestational connection between a mother and her child, Shennan believes that, with the advent of IVF, "we've already crossed that bridge."
"When test tube babies first happened, there was a big debate and push back, but the test tube baby is now widely accepted. … In a way, you're just asking the machine to be the surrogate, instead of another woman," he continued.
Likewise, while the genome editing of the "elite package" might faze some, including Harper, who in a recent debate on the issue argued that it would be detrimental to humankind, she found herself in the minority: "Young people don't have those hesitations that we have."
How much would it cost

I would welcome the idea.
Maryann Brunson
Do you think it would be any better for them as it is for us . look what we do to each other. What is there to welcome? Just doing it all over again. There is weakness in respect among humans .
Look around you…now look at the world.
Where are we and who are we is my question. God have mercy on us..Amen


The global mission of AATSR and MERIS make a major contribution to understanding the role of the oceans and ocean productivity in the climate system, and enhance our ability to forecast change through models. Both sensors offer a large synergistic potential that contributes to climate studies and global change observations in addressing environmental features in a multi-disciplinary way.
MERIS, primarily dedicated to observing oceanic biology and marine water quality through observations of water colour, makes also contributions to atmospheric and land surface related studies. AATSR has, besides its main objective to provide detailed sea surface temperature maps, the capability to measure a range of parameters for cloud microphysics, plus land surface temperature and various vegetation indices over land.
MERIS provides a unique European remote sensing capability for observing oceanic biology and marine water quality through global observations of ocean colour (figure 1.6), and provides continuity with other ocean colour sensors such as SeaWiFS and MODIS. AATSR provides continuity with similar ATSR instruments flown on ERS-1 and -2 ensuring the production of a near-continuous 15-year dataset of sea surface temperatures (SST) at an unprecedented accuracy level of 0.3 K or better (figure 1.7).
Figure 1.9 - An ATSR-2 11 µm brightness temperature image of the Gulf of California.
The hottest areas (shown in grey) are mostly land. The cooler sea surface temperatures are shown using purple (coolest) to red (warmest). Source: RAL (file: california_sst.gif).
Biogenic material in our oceans accounts for a large portion of their carbon pickup, playing a major role in the Earth's carbon cycle and therefore our climate. Sea surface temperature is one of the most stable of several geographical variables, which, when determined globally, characterize the state of the Earth's climate system. Phytoplankton concentrations in the oceans, responsible for the oceans' primary production, need to be known with a high degree of accuracy for their adequate prediction through modelling. Furthermore, the accurate knowledge of marine water constituent concentrations, has become mandatory for the assessment of the water quality in marine ecosystems. In parallel, the precise measurement of small changes in SST provides an indication of significant variations in ocean/atmosphere heat transfer rates and their impact on our physical climate.
AATSR and MERIS are both passive optical imaging instruments measuring radiation reflected and emitted from the Earth's surface. AATSR has 4 channels in the visible/near infrared wavelengths and 3 channels in the thermal infrared region. MERIS has 15 channels in the visible and near infrared (see table 1.1 below). The overlap between the instrument bands and the complementary measurements they provide over ocean and land, create novel opportunities for synergetic use of data in many fields of study.
Table 1.1 - MERIS spectral bands and applications.
This fixed set of bands was recommended by the Science Advisory Group (SAG). The level 2 ESA products have been validated for this set of bands.
The detailed spectral response of each band in each camera is given in document "MERIS Spectral Characterisation" ( R-10).

Moving Together to a New Home
Kazakhstanskaya Pravda newspaper, 5 December 2015
Residents of two Burlin villages (Berezovka and Bestau) will have new homes.
A few families topping the resettlement list have already received keys to the new apartments in Aksai. Let's explain the backgrounds of such start-up. Residents of Berezovka village had been claiming their resettlement for many years. In November last year at the same time several pupils had felt sick at school. Different reasons thereof were considered; numerous checks did not reveal any correlation between this event and field operation impact on the environment. Nevertheless, the RoK Government and local authorities have decided to take a control under this situation. Several meetings were conducted with the village residents. Considering that the economic and technical assessment of the Karachaganak Expansion Project (KEP) is completed by Consortium involved in the field operation and the fact that such KEP includes the expansion of sanitary protection zone, the resettlement of Berezovka and Bestau covered thereby has been recognized as the best solution to implement. A working committee has been appointed to implement such large-scale movement with the interests of all residents to be respected. The public inquiry conducted by Research Center "Sange" has aimed to know the resettlement way which residents consider as the best and more preferable one. Opinions are divided: some residents want to get well-appointed apartments; others - a house and lot.
According to Marat Tusupkaliyev, Burlin district Akim, the preliminary work has been done to cope with the resettlement arrangement to be in full compliance with the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan and international standards. Since August of this year, several meetings have been already conducted with residents of two villages where the relocation procedure is explained which covers to create conditions at the new place equivalently to as before. Villagers were explained in details their rights and the list of documents required to be submitted for obtaining the new housing.
This project implementation is funded by Karachaganak Petroleum Operating B.V. The movement has two phases. 138 applications have been chosen to include into the first phase; 82 of them will prevail. The prevailed list consists of war veterans, single pensioners, people with disabilities, families with disabled children and families with children suffered from incident happened at school last November. It should be noted that families with school-age children have been given the right to relocate during the holidays (school breaks). Two multicompartment buildings are prepared for such purpose in Aksai; Aksai is the administrative center of Burlin district and field. Burlin district Akimat has run the apartments' distribution process based on the number of family members and square considering the size of previously owned one. The minimum area per person is 15 square meters. The residents' desire to get separate apartments (for example, for parents and their adult children) has been taken into account.
KPO always requires all projects to be implemented in compliance with the highest quality. And now new citizens will live with all modern conveniences. Contractor has handed over the buildings to Acceptance commission without any defects. It is good to look at the bright and ample rooms with plastic windows. Real estate developers also were concerned about creation of comfortable conditions thus they had equipped apartments with gas heaters, gas stoves and kitchen furniture. There are playgrounds and parking lot in the yards; a kindergarten, school and a health clinic are not far from the buildings.
2016 Second Phase covers the apartment distribution among those who are not included into the group of persons entitled to the benefit. Residence buildings for such persons are planned to be constructed in Karachaganak micro district, Aksai. Types and standards of the apartments will be equivalent to those obtained at the first resettlement stage. In Araltal district the one-storey houses with household plot of 10 ares are planned to be constructed for persons preferred to live in separate house and engage in private plot activities; all utilities will be connected thereto. The road to the new microdistrict will be paved. It is also planned to construct a kindergarten and school. All new occupants will receive a resettlement allowance; persons who move to well-appointed apartments will be paid 1000 USD per housing estate and 200 USD for each family member. Residents will also receive a compensation for house outbuildings, fruit and berry plantations and land lot.
A compensation mechanism is in process for those who suffer from such resettlement due to their business liquidation; the compensation amount shall be calculated based on the income of entrepreneurs and their employees. Those who are willing to continue engaging in peasant holding will be offered new land lots. Once the resettlement is complete and the boundaries of expanded sanitary protection zone are set, all the buildings in Berezovka and Bestau will be subject to demolition.
There is no doubt that the potential new settlers are interested in how environmentally friendly the new place will be. The answer was that Karachaganak Petroleum Operating B.V. invested heavily in projects on the environment conditions improvement. All investment information is annually published in the KPO Sustainability Report developed based on the independent auditors' studies outcomes. Ecological state of all villages located outside the sanitary protection zone is in compliance with standards and requirements of the RoK legislation.
- A resettlement schedule is developed and resettlement deadline is approved - Marat Tusupkaliyev, Burlin district Akim, said. - Employment arrangements are in process. Teachers and health workers are always in demand. Persons failed to find jobs by themselves will be socially employed; and persons desired to educate will be given an opportunity to be educated at demanded speciality. Our target is to ensure creating suitable living conditions for all new occupants (that is more than 400 families).

There is no doubt that we all benefit from the electrical innovations that are all around us. From the lights above us to the convenient outlets we plug into to power everything from the blenders we use to make our daily shakes to the stoves that help us create delicious, healthy dinners to the TVs we watch (maybe too much) to the computers that keep us informed and educated about the changing world around us, we can thank inventors like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Edison who paved the path to us to being more productive than could have ever been imagined by past generations.
That's not to mention the ubiquitous smart phones in virtually every hand that keep us connected to friends, family, work, and community 24/7. It's not just our phones; our homes can also be "smart" and help deliver information faster, monitor the temperature, turn lights on and off, and connect to energy grids and solar panels to save money. We have access to improved Bluetooth technology, and virtually anything can be controlled remotely—from those ever-present cellphones.
And how many of us have added smart speakers to our homes to play music, news, or sports; tell us the weather or traffic conditions; set a timer; update a grocery list; and so much more all with a simple voice command?
Our lives can be vastly expanded and improved by the technical innovations that have been powered by electricity and delivered easily — often with no wires to trip over. Yet, is there a dark side to the electricity that powers life as we know it? Is electricity "dirty?" Is dirty electricity real? And what is it anyway? Perhaps most importantly, if there are potential dangers, are there any steps or actions we can take to protect and/or detoxify our homes and bodies to allow us to take advantage of all the benefits of the power around us with limited downside?
Without pulling out a foil hat, we wanted to see if dirty electricity is a conspiracy theory to be debunked or if there's real science to support the need for protection. And if so, what are the most cost-effective solutions to protect and detoxify our homes and our bodies for optimal health?
The term most often associated with dirty electricity is "EMF," short for electromagnetic field, which is a low-energy, non-ionizing radiation. This occurs when the electric and magnetic fields are joined together to act as one. Interestingly, these EMFs "have a wave character in short frequency" yet behave as a magnetic field in longer frequencies. To be clear, exposure to EMF has always existed—the sun delivers EMF, for example.
Yet, with increased demands to power our lives and advancing technologies, we're being exposed to more and more artificial sources every single day. These man-made EMFs — often called "non-native EMFs" — are generated from everything from power cables (both industrial and household) to appliances to mobile phones to broadcasting towers (which can have frequencies of hundreds of MHz). The strength of the super low frequency EMF is, not surprisingly, highest near the power supply (such as powerlines) and then decreases as the distance increases.
Quite simply, today, we as a society are being exposed to rapidly increasing amount of EMFs from a variety sources ranging in frequencies from 3 to 3,000 Hz. And extremely low frequency (ELF) EMFs are part of everyday life.
Studies designed to see if EMF may be a risk factor for health have led to controversial results. When it comes to the potential for DNA damage and increased cancer risk, one of the reasons for the dirty electricity controversy stems from the difficulty in controlling for the huge variabilities of exposure in these fields.
On the other hand, EMFs are also widely used in healthcare for both diagnosis (e.g., MRI and microwave imaging) and therapy (e.g., pulsed electromagnetic fields, or PEMF, which is used to increase oxygen levels in blood and reduce pain, inflammation, and fatigue and stimulate healing) for everything from psychiatry to orthopedics to dermatology. Studies have found, for example, that short-term PEMF may improve cell survival and reduce damage.
The results of the studies on EMF exposure have been contradictory and controversial, with some indicating increased health risk and others indicating no change from the controls, making it difficult for researchers as well as the average person to quantify the risks. It is believed that the potential hazards differ depending on the strength, the type of wave, and the frequency. And as we've said time and again, individual differences apply, as some people appear to be much more sensitive to certain types of EMFs than others.
Neurodegenerative Disease (e.g., Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS). Workers with higher EMF exposure have an increased risk for neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's. According to one study in Denmark, utility workers exposed to above average levels of EMF experienced excess mortality (death) from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS/Lou Gehrig's Disease). This increase may have been due to repeated electric shocks while working.
Decreased Fertility. Both in vivo (i.e., inside the body) and in vitro (i.e., outside the body) studies have demonstrated that "EMF exposure can alter cellular homeostasis, endocrine function, reproductive function, and fetal development…" This is one area of research that seems to be the most conclusive, and considering that EMFs may negatively affect reproductive health (including fertility), to be safe, guys and gals, please don't store your cell phone in your pants pockets and don't work with your laptop on your lap.
DNA Damage and Increased Cancer Risk. EMF exposure has been considered a possible carcinogen with links to leukemia in kids, typically associated with continued exposure to appliances that produce high electric and magnetic fields concurrently. Other research has indicated increased risks for adult workers with high levels of EMF exposure. Yet other research has indicated that the exposure EMFs did not appear to increase the risk of brain cancer.
Depression. While a greater understanding is needed, researchers found that severe depression increased 4.7-fold for people living within 100 meters of high-voltage powerlines. Other research in parts of the midlands of England found that there's a relationship between suicide rates and EMF from overhead powerlines.
Decreased Attention. Though this is not a disease state, inability to focus can have negative consequences on productivity and quality of life. A study by Trimmel and Schweiger found that when exposed to ELF and EMF, immediate reductions in mental performance including attention, perception, and memory were found in all of their study subjects and especially in folks who were self-reported sensitive to EMF.

Even if we can't feel it, science is showing that we can all be affected by dirty electricity on some level because our bodies are electric devices as well. Every cell in our bodies—including our nervous systems—operate using tiny electric signals. And we're putting an exponential amount of invisible, odorless, and tasteless microwave radiation into our environments.
Making use of electrical outlet timers. You already know how important quality sleep is, and EMFs have been shown to potentially disrupt sleep. Plus, your home Wi-Fi router is one of the biggest sources of dirty electricity in your home. One simple and inexpensive solution (with a cost of around $10 to $20) is to purchase an electric outlet timer to plug your router into. Then simply set it up to turn off the router power when you and your family go to sleep and automatically turn back on in time for your day to start. If you enjoy listening to books or podcasts before bed, just make sure you download them beforehand and then put your device on airplane mode.
Getting wired. While going wireless is convenient, if your goal is to limit your exposure to dirty electricity, forget wireless and get plugged in. Shielded ethernet cables (Cat 6a SSTP is typically recommended) are available for just $15 to $30 and can be as long as 50 feet. Then you can easily turn off your Wi-Fi router without losing connection. If you want to invest more, you can have ethernet cables installed in any room you want to connect. In addition, avoid using a wireless keyboard or mouse. Save on batteries and EMF exposure by using wired versions. And if you can, opt out of smart homes/smart meters as they're really not necessary.
Unplugging. There are many appliances in our homes that get used for just a couple of minutes every day (hey there, blender), yet if they're left plugged in throughout the day, they continue to emit low levels of EMFs even when they aren't in use. They also continue to use energy, which you're paying for, so unplugging limited-use appliances makes sense on more than one level.
Changing your cellphone habits. Because the cellphone is kept close to the body and is public enemy number one for most people when it comes to dirty electricity exposure, when it's not in use, it's recommended to keep it in airplane mode. In addition, avoid placing your phone directly to your head—use the speaker phone or a headset (not Bluetooth) instead or just use your phone for texting rather than talking. And again, avoid carrying a cellphone in your pocket or bra when not in airplane mode.
Generating the negative. Ions can be positively charged (more protons than electrons) or negatively charged (more electrons than protons). In nature, we see more negative ions than positive ions. So, to help our homes become more like nature, many people advocate using negative ion generators. For $20 to $30, you can purchase a negative ion generator to plug in to the wall to increase negative ions in your home.
Getting grounded. Take regular breaks away from your computer, and if possible, go stand outside in the grass (preferably barefoot) to get grounded. In addition, you'll enjoy more exposure to those negative ions from nature that may help increase serotonin levels, relieve stress, and boost daytime energy. Taking walks in nature is even better. Try to spend at least 20 minutes outside daily for optimal results.
Bringing the outside in. Plants provide numerous benefits, including air purification and possibly (again, it's controversial) helping protect against dirty electricity. Some plants to consider for their ease of care and potential protection include aloe, cactus, rubber plant, spider plant, snake plant, and stone lotus flower.
Is the matrix real? Will we discover our addiction to technology is damaging our bodies and our planet? Those types of questions are too difficult for us to address as we simply don't have all the necessary information.
We do know that our exposure to non-native EMFs has gone up exponentially, we know our cells are affected by this dirty electricity, and we know there are potential, if not probable, risks, including DNA damage, sleep disruption, and fertility problems. So, while the research and education surrounding this topic is in its relative infancy, you don't need to wear a foil hat to wonder if EMFs are safe. There's enough evidence over the last few years to take this seriously enough to at least take precautions, especially those of us with children. At worst, we'll save some cash by decreasing our energy consumption. At best, we may be making our homes safer and less toxic, our sleep sounder, and helping optimize our health.


Why are you changing your service?
We saw an opportunity to make the 3Diligent user experience better for both our customers and suppliers. We recognized that some customers really wanted and needed more hands-on support than our previous structure permitted. At the same time, we were providing follow up to some customers that really didn't need or maybe even want it – they just wanted to use some smart software to speed up and simplify their procurement. Introducing 3D Marketplace and 3D Direct allow us to serve those customer segments better. It also allows us to be a better partner to our suppliers, who invest significant time and effort in messaging customers and quoting projects.
3Diligent Direct is our hands-on service. On projects where you choose to release your RFQ to 3Diligent Select, we'll contact you to discuss the project and understand how you'd like for us to work with our supply partners on the project. We'll analyze your RFQ and identify the best supply partner in our network for that type of project at that specific moment. Ultimately working with just one of our suppliers in these types of projects allows for a greater level of hands-on support, from the moment you submit a project until after your parts are delivered on-time and to-spec.
What sorts of projects are best for 3D Direct?
3D Direct is best for projects where the specifics aren't really "locked down" yet or require strict confidentiality protections. Basically, if you aren't yet clear on the specific material or process requirements for your job, opt for 3D Direct and we'll work through that with you. Also, if your project is highly sensitive, the 3D Direct RFQ forms allows you to opt into our extremely strict confidentiality provisions. Lastly, production runs generally fall into this category. While production runs are sometimes run through the Marketplace, with Direct jobs we write the terms of the contract, which generally eliminates ambiguity.
What level of consulting is bundled into the 3D Direct service?
The consulting bundled into a 3D Direct service relates to identifying a partner, process, and material for your projects. If you have bigger questions to resolve – for instance, design for manufacturability and supply chain optimization for 3D Printing – those would be outside the scope of what we can cover with 3D Direct. If that is the case, please reach out and we can make consulting arrangements.
How much does 3D Direct cost?
It is free to submit your job to 3D Direct. However, to cover the cost of additional support, prices for 3D Direct parts are typically a bit more than comparable 3D Marketplace parts. Customers who are simply seeking the lowest price for parts should utilize one of our Marketplace options.
3D Marketplace is a curated forum for customers to submit RFQs and our qualified supply partners to offer bids on those RFQs. When a customer submits their RFQ to the Marketplace, we release it to those suppliers that are the best fit for the project, with the intention of gathering bids from 3-5 of our suppliers for you to select from.
What sorts of projects are best for 3D Marketplace?
The best projects for 3D Marketplace are ones that are well defined and where IP isn't a major concern. In other words, those projects where you know your material and process requirements well, so it's just a matter of assessing price and timeline across a few bids. Potential projects for the marketplace might be replacement parts, tools, jigs, fixtures, and other projects where quick delivery and competitive price are the most relevant considerations.
I understand there are two subscription levels for 3D Marketplace…please explain.
We have two levels of marketplace subscription: Free and Premium.
Free level is granted to every 3Diligent customer when they set up their account. RFQs submitted to the Free level Marketplace are released to service providers utilizing prosumer grade technology. Think in terms of a higher end desktop printer like Lulzbot or FormOne. Prosumer printers generally cannot achieve the same levels of quality that you get from a professional or industrial grade machine. With that said, they are significantly cheaper than those heavier duty options, and sometimes are capable of meeting your requirements. If you're a maker, this might be a great option for you.
In addition to accessing our suppliers with prosumer technology, Premium level opens things up to those with professional and industrial equipment. Because this higher end equipment can more reliably achieve tolerances and finish levels, we open up those fields in your RFQ and the vendor bid form. Additionally, you'll also have the ability to request parts in engineering grade plastics and metals that aren't plausible on prosumer machines.
Can I expect the same quality out of the Premium Marketplace and 3Diligent Direct?
If you're looking for the highest quality printed parts, that is achievable both via 3D Direct and the Premium marketplace. Either provides you access to the same set of top notch equipment and materials. Please note, however, that in the Marketplace our suppliers are engaging with you directly, so it is your responsibility to ensure the terms of a supplier's bid reflects all critical specifications. Customers who do not receive explicit commitments with respect to particular specifications, tolerances, or finishes should not expect them in finished parts.
If I can access all the equipment through 3D Direct and it is free, why would I pay for a 3D Marketplace Premium subscription?
With 3D Marketplace Premium, you'll be able to access multiple bids, engage directly with our suppliers, and frankly move faster than we can support with 3D Direct. Additionally, since we have to bundle the cost of project management into 3D Direct bids, it may be more cost effective for you to get a Premium Marketplace subscription. Based on our data, most of our customers will cover the cost of an annual Premium membership if they run at least three projects through the platform in a year.
I've been happy to work with a particular 3Diligent vendor in the past. Can I continue sending jobs to him/her?
Yes, we'll be happy to send through jobs to 3Diligent suppliers you've used previously. Just specify as much in your Notes to 3Diligent…it's the last step of the CREATE RFQ process.
How much do the Marketplace options cost?
The Free Marketplace is…free. The Premium Marketplace is $99/month, although we'll be offering some promotions in the early days…be sure you're on our mailing list or drop us a line and we'll let you know if there's a promotion underway.
Once you have set up an account, log in. In the top right hand corner, you'll see an Upgrade button under your name. Just click it and that will take you to the upgrade window. Please note, upgrades can take up to 24 hours to process.
Where do I select Marketplace or Direct?
When you click CREATE RFQ from the dashboard, it will ask you that question on the first page of the process.
Email us or call 1 855 302 3339 x1 and we'll be happy to speak with you.

FacebookYoutubeSpotifyWebsite
No one has lived as many lives as Archie Roach – from stolen child, teenage alcoholic, seeker, lover, father, musical and lyrical genius, to social advocate and First Nations leader – but it took almost a lifetime to find who he really was. Tell Me Why is a compelling account of resilience and the strength of spirit to overcome trauma whilst searching for a sense of belonging, and of a great love story. In this intimate, moving and often confronting journey, Roach's story is an extraordinary odyssey through love and heartbreak, family and community, survival and renewal, and testament to the healing power of music. It is also about his struggle to find the will to keep living following a debilitating stroke, lung cancer and the sudden death of his life partner of 38 years, Ruby Hunter – a highly acclaimed singer songwriter in her own right. Woodford Folk Festival is honoured to premiere the Archie Roach: Tell Me Why concert, with accompaniment from famed and multi-award-winning composer/pianist/arranger/producer Paul Grabowsky and band, Stephen Magnusson, Dave Beck, Erkki Veltheim, Sam Anning and special guest vocalist, Sally Dastey. Roach voices the joy, pain and hope he found on his path through song to become the legendary singer, songwriter and storyteller that he is today – beloved and respected by fans worldwide.

Spitsbergen, Norway
Wildlife Holidays in Norway
From the polar bears of Svalbard to the arctic foxes of the more central regions, Norway holidays boast a variety of ways to view Arctic wildlife in its natural – and stunning – habitat. Wildlife tourism lets you see another side of Norway, where there is a strong connection with its animal inhabitants.
It's impossible to miss Norway's dramatic fjords, whose cragged cliffs cut great swathes into the country's interior or its majestic glaciers that, over millennia, have oozed down from ancient ice fields. In between, you'll find stunning mountain passes and, just off the coast, islands buttressed by rocky spires.
Indeed, it's the Norwegian landscapes that so often grab headlines. However, you don't have to look much closer to see that they're populated by thriving ecosystems. Heading the list is Svalbard – a huddle of islands set adrift from continental Norway approximately midway from the North Pole. Here, glaciers account for almost two thirds of the landmass meaning that there are quite literally more polar bears than people.
Svalbard is also home to the considerably rarer walrus, whose breeding grounds are found in the remote extents of the archipelago and are only accessibly on boat day-trips. Back on land, you'll find a reindeer population roaming wild. While domesticated by the indigenous Sámi people and a common sight across Norway's north (even wandering further south to the country's central national parks), on Svalbard you can find herds ranging far and wide.
For some of the world's largest mammals, head to Andenes whose summer waters are host to minke, humpback and sperm varieties alike. Its perfect conditions for plankton, close to Europe's continental shelf, have made it one of the best places in the world to spot whales. You'll also be treated to an abundance of seals and a chance to spot puffins, cormorants and majestic sea eagles.
Moose and elk
To some, the hardy moose and elk are the species that best represent Norway's commitment to the rural ideal; there's something regal about their proud necks and branching antlers. Often sticking to the shelter of the forests of northern Norway – moose burgers are a favourite delicacy – they can be difficult to spot but, if you're lucky, you might even spy one or two in Oslo.
What's more, there are so many activities that offer unique perspectives on Norway's wildlife. Snowmobile excursions reward those who brave the cold with glimpses of arctic foxes while traditional dogsledding is equal parts exhilarating and perfectly scenic. In fact, a winter skiing expeditions on Svalbard is one of the best ways of seeing polar bears while joining a Sámi guide on a wilderness trek is particularly rewarding.

I find myself taking a lot of screenshots, especially for things like documentation, sharing information or simply recording information on-screen. In the past I'd printscreen or use alt+printscreen (captures the active window), paste it into paint.net/paint, adjust as needed and save. Whilst this method certainly worked it was a bit clunky and didn't always provide the most professional looking screenshots.
Introduce Greenshot. I was a bit unsure how helpful this application would turn out to be, but I can say after a few months of using it- wow! It's a great time saver and increases the quality and ease of taking screenshots.
Once the program is installed the Printscreen key defaults to selecting a region, which is great- I rarely need to take a screenshot of my entire screen… especially as I have dual screens in most places. You can of course capture the entire screen if you like with Ctrl + Printscreen, or if you'd like to capture the active windows alt + Printscreen also works.
There are various ways to output the image, including different image formats. My personal preference is to copy the image to clipboard and save it directly to a screenshot folder.
Greenshot also includes it's own inbuilt image editor, which includes annotating, highlighting or obfuscating parts of a screenshot.
Great program – Thanks for posting this!

Hikma donates 50,000 doses of injectable naloxone to help expand non-profit access to lifesaving treatment for reversing opioid overdoses
Donation will help ease shortage of injectable naloxone faced by US harm-reduction programs
LONDON, Oct. 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC (Hikma), the multinational pharmaceutical company, announces it has donated 50,000 vials of Naloxone HCl Injection, USP – a treatment for reversing opioid overdoses – to members of the Opioid Safety and Naloxone Network (OSNN) Buyers Club to help ease an acute shortage of the medicine currently facing non-profit harm-reduction programs in the US.
OSNN is a collective of over 100 harm-reduction programs in the US who distribute naloxone directly to people who use drugs, their loved ones, and their communities. Some of their member programs have been involved in community distribution of naloxone for more than 20 years. Hikma's donation will be supplied from its state-of-the-art sterile injectable manufacturing facility in Cherry Hill, NJ, and is being provided in collaboration with Hikma Community Health, a new division of Hikma focused on providing a range of treatment options in the US for substance use disorder and opioid overdose.
As the US FDA has noted, naloxone is a critical tool for individuals, families, first responders and communities to help reduce opioid overdose deaths, and expanding access to all forms of naloxone is one of the top ways to address the overdose crisis.
"In the middle of a devastating overdose crisis that killed a record number of our friends, family, colleagues, and community members, we need to do everything we can to save lives. Naloxone is our best tool, but unless we take steps to equip harm reduction organizations, it will be out of reach to the people most likely to use it and prevent an overdose death," said Maya Doe-Simkins, co-founder of the Opioid Safety and Naloxone Network Buyers Club. "As we confront a nationwide shortage of affordable naloxone, we're grateful that Hikma has come forward to share naloxone with Buyers Club organizations. These programs and the people who use drugs that they serve are the backbone of overdose prevention efforts for the country. We need more leaders and organizations to step up and support harm reduction in this precarious moment before it's too late."
"Hikma has played a leading role in addressing shortages of critical medicines in the US, launching more than 20 medicines into shortage situations in recent years and receiving an award from the FDA for our efforts," said Joel Rosenstack, Chief Commercial Officer, US Injectables, Hikma. "We are proud to establish this partnership with OSNN, which furthers our work to resolve drug shortages and aligns with our Hikma Community Health initiative to provide a range of naloxone, buprenorphine and methadone medication options to meet the urgent needs of US patients and communities."
Hikma's naloxone donation continues the company's long-running commitment to supporting organizations that address health issues in underserved communities around the world. In 2020, Hikma donated over $4 million USD in medicines through its global medicine donation program.

This is the door of choice for very large openings when there are high wind loads and the sill area needs to be uninterrupted. vertical lifting doors are built tough for the most extreme environments. These doors are designed to perform in high winds, high altitude, and severe climates. They're an excellent choice for almost every application, including specialty architectural designs, blast, acoustical, even ballistic. The flexibility of having multiple-doors-in-one provides many advantages for meeting your specific requirements today and tomorrow: simplified and dependable operation, controllable and comfortable interior environments, safer operations and traffic flow, and lower energy usage and costs. Two styles of mounting option inside mount and outside mount.to fit available head room. If the inside head room is limited then you can mount it on outside so no alteration to existing framing.
We also have cold storage application vertical lift door. vertical lift doors are available manually operated, or with electric motor operation. Vertical lift doors are ideal for loading docks, warehouses and areas with limited side room. Vertical lift doors are constructed using fiberglass reinforced pultrusions, creating a highly durable perimeter framework. Corners have internal steel reinforcements. Panels are foamed-in-place with Non-CFC polyurethane insulation. Full vertical lift is a type track set up that allows the sectional door to ride up the wall vertically without the use of horizontal tracks. Door and Dock solutions has extensive in-house experience repairing these doors and are able to find and fabricate obsolete parts.
There is one importance difference between a vertical lift door and a high lift door. Vertical lift doors do not have curved portions of track, which means that the door function by sliding straight up into the wall. This key difference eliminates any visible tracks and provides business owners the opportunity to maximize every available inch of space. High lift doors have a longer straight portion of track between the top roller and the curved portion of track, which means that they do not allow for the freeing of every inch of storage space.
Many distribution centers and warehouses seem to favor vertical lift doors because of the space utilization properties they provide. Shelving, for example, can be stacked up high without any visible tracks in the way, thereby maximizing storage space. A vertical garage door track is mounted directly to the wall. This means that a vertical garage door track can only be installed in a building that has enough headroom to run a garage door track up the wall above the door opening. Another great benefit is that high-profile vehicles can be lifted to head height or greater using a floor jack because there are no visible tracks. They also make ideal dock doors.
Since vertical lift doors have no visible tracks inside the garage or storage area, they can be an ideal complement for just about any business, no matter how large or how small, that is seeking to maximize and utilize every single amount of available space.
 Vertical lift doors slide straight up into wall.
 Vertical lift doors can telescope or stack side-by-side.
 Vertical lift doors are designed without torsion springs.
 counterweight balance is used in vertical lift doors.
A key factor to consider when purchasing any commercial or industrial door is knowing that you can receive fast and efficient service when needed. Even though vertical lift doors feature tried and true reliable technology, customers need to know that they can receive prompt and courteous service when needed. Should something break, or even when regular scheduled maintenance is needed, one day without access to your merchandise or your inventory is one day too many and can be extremely costly for any business.
