I am taking the bold step and admitting to feeling quite lonely at this time in my life. As a result, I've been pondering loneliness, how to deal with it and why I am feeling it more.
What's new? Well, I moved to a totally different city with my husband. I've quit my job to do this move. I spend most of my days alone, writing (a solitary activity). My husband, a definite workaholic, is spending very long hours at work and this shows no sign of improvement, which isn't helping my feelings of loneliness.
Other people I know have admitted to feeling more of great pain of loneliness lately and it seems to becoming more and more common in our society. It certainly is getting more attention.
What is loneliness? Loneliness is a feeling that you have no one to connect with, on a personal level, who understands you and really SEES you. You feel isolated and disconnected.
Being lonely is a normal human experience as humans are for the most part social animals. In our not so distant history we lived in family groups, both for protection and survival.
Mothers and grandmothers helped each other, caring for the babies in groups, preparing meals and homemaking. Men hunted in groups, protected the group together, and bonded together with ceremonies. We lived together for our whole lives. We were rarely alone.
Today it is common to move away from our family of origin, often before the age of twenty and, many times, quite far away. (Okay, granted there are some of you still living at home! 🙂 ) This change, moving from a more social society to a more solitary existence, has brought its challenges and increased our feelings of loneliness.
Our culture today puts seniors in old folks homes, sees children moving to opposite sides of the country or world for their careers, sees husbands and wives separated due to work travel, and more and more physical and emotional distance.
Technology can also take part of the blame for the increased feelings of loneliness. The increase in media as a method of communication, social media, email, text, takes away from our face to face encounters with others. Digital interaction is not the same as face to face. Eye contact and the feeling of connection is much harder through digital means.
Depression or anxiety can also make loneliness worse. These can make you feel like withdrawing from society. This withdrawal creates a negative feedback loop, worsening the depression and increasing your social anxiety and loneliness.
Some dramatic life events can cause a huge feeling of loneliness. Breakups, divorce, and losing a loved one can create a huge feeling of loss and isolation. This is common and not unanticipated. In fact, many people will stay in an unfulfilling or even damaging relationship just to avoid these feelings and being alone.
We are also too busy. Too scheduled. Too wrapped up in work and our day-to-day survival that we don't take the time to nurture our social connections.
Loneliness comes and goes. It is often said that loneliness is part of the human condition. That it is so common, we have all felt lonely from time to time.
Some people never seem lonely. These are the out-going, the easy extroverts, the busy types who always have something on the go (however, perception doesn't mean reality!). Others wear their loneliness like a badge of honour. Clinging to it – almost afraid to let it go. It follows them around like a puppy.
A recent study (by the Vancouver Foundation), showed that about one-third (33%) of young adults ages 18 – 24 felt lonely. The general population has an estimated loneliness rate of about 20 %, a hard number to really pin down as it is a subjective feeling and isn't constant.
Some people are more susceptible to feeling isolated and lonely.
Because loneliness is getting more and more attention lately, governments and health groups are more aware of the health and societal dangers of loneliness.
Last week in the UK the government appointed a Minister of Loneliness. They are concerned about the increase of loneliness and adverse effects loneliness has on health. They are trying to find solutions.
The consequences are staggering, individually and as a society; we need to help people combat feeling lonely.
A recent TED talk, given by psychologist Susan Pinker, talks about her research which has shown that social integration and close relationships are two of the most important factors in living a long and healthy life. Watch her talk here.
In her talk, she says the top two ways to improve your longevity is to have a high degree of social integration and have close relationships.
Social integration is how often you interact with people on a casual, everyday basis. This does not have to be a close relationship! These interactions can be short and sweet, or longer and deeper. How much of this you can start bringing into your daily life will help alleviate those feelings of loneliness.
Chat with your coffee barista. Have a short conversation with your pharmacist or the nurse in your doctor's office. Wave to your neighbour. Get out more. Smile and nod. Connect, even if only for the briefest of moments, with a stranger.
Make eye contact and smile with people. Eye contact is important and helps to fuel that connection with others.
These face to face interactions with other people in your community are vital as they help release feel-good hormones, such as oxytocin and dopamine and make us feel part of our neighbourhood and connected.
People need to feel as if they belong.
The second part of this TED talk is close relationships. Stable relationships. How many close relationships are enough? Pinker says at least three. Three people in your life who have your back if you are sick or hurt, if you need a shoulder to cry on or you are having a crisis of some kind. Three close relationships are not many, but it is more than some people have.
Often our family members are those people, our sisters, brothers, mother, father or an adult child. A childhood friend from school. Someone you met recently at your gym and talked to more and more. Your partner.
Maybe you work together, maybe you worship together, maybe you run in a running club together or see each other at the yoga studio regularly.
Building friends does take time and effort. Start small with chit-chat and build to a casual coffee and more. But now you know that this effort is worth it. It can help you live a longer and happier life!
Close friendships take time to build. It's about trust and common interests. How much alike are you? Do you trust this person? Many people don't make the cut and that's okay, they can be friendly acquaintances. Close friends will come with time if you don't give up.
I do think its harder to make close friends in today's fast-paced world. Most people are too busy. What a sad commentary on our modern, "advanced" culture. We are simply too busy to be a good friend!
To help with your feelings of loneliness, reach out. Increasing your feelings of connections with individuals and society as a whole can help.
Often getting a pet can really help, as you feel connection and love. Pets are wonderful at unconditional love.Taking your dog for a walk, for example, can get you out into the world and can be a starting point for conversation and connection with others.
Many recommend getting a hobby. However, I feel that this just keeps you busy, not connected. Loneliness is a lack of connection. It is different from being bored.
Loneliness is also different from solitude. Solitude is being alone, but you aren't feeling lonely. You feel peace, you are enjoying your company. It is a sense of privacy and seclusion. Many of us, myself included, need some solitude on a daily basis for our mental well-being.
Being alone isn't a bad thing. Feeling disconnected is.
Also, you can be lonely in a relationship or when surrounded by others. If there is no connection or a feeling of belonging with the person or the group, loneliness can result.
Start connecting! Start small, initiating conversation with people you interact with. And that means you will need to get out more often!
I have started to make sure I have a small conversation with waiters, cashiers and other people when I am out doing errands. I make some eye contact and ask a few questions. That's all. It helps them and certainly helps me.
We can all be aware of the loneliness that is around us and help others feel connected by reaching out.
Remember you are NOT alone in your loneliness, you are part of a huge group of people who feel the same way.
After researching loneliness for this blog post, I am stepping out more. I now know that it is just as important as my daily diet and exercise program, I need to make sure I connect with others and foster connections with my community.
I am now more aware of others loneliness. Even though most people will not admit to feeling this way, I know am not alone in feeling lonely!
We are connected. We just need to create these reminders and strengthen these connections. Our health depends on it.

Concerned citizens: Skip today's news-analytical obits for Dr. Bruce Ivins, the high-level government scientist and accused perpetrator of the fall 2001 anthrax attacks, who reportedly took his own life yesterday.
Much more important than the general attempt to link the anthrax to Islamic terrorists, there was a specific intent -- indispensably aided by ABC News -- to link the anthrax attacks to Iraq and Saddam Hussein. In my view, and I've written about this several times and in great detail to no avail, the role played by ABC News in this episode is the single greatest, unresolved media scandal of this decade. News of Ivins' suicide, which means (presumably) that the anthrax attacks originated from Ft. Detrick, adds critical new facts and heightens how scandalous ABC News' conduct continues to be in this matter.
MCCAIN: I think we're doing fine . . . I think we'll do fine. The second phase -- if I could just make one, very quickly -- the second phase is Iraq. There is some indication, and I don't have the conclusions, but some of this anthrax may -- and I emphasize may -- have come from Iraq.
MCCAIN: If that should be the case, that's when some tough decisions are gonna have to be made.
The 2001 anthrax attacks were hugely important in stoking up a War-of-the-Worlds panic. The envelopes of white powder inflamed the sense that They're Everywhere--Lake Worth, FL; Washington; a mailbox in Princeton. Without doubt, the anthrax panic muddled brains, promoted an atmosphere of Bush-knows-best, and was easily convertible to war fever--in Iraq or, goddammit, somewhere.
That such justified fearfulness could be "easily converted" into war is one fact; that men like McCain, who based the "tough decisions" on prejudices that continue to shame and unravel over time is another. Let's hope we hear that story.
Update: Ramesh Ponnuru argues that "[McCain's] statement itself would, I think, seem appropriately tentative to reasonable observers, because it was." That depends on how charitable you feel like being to McCain. Ponnuru is quite so; I'm inclined to be less generous. Maybe I overreached in concluding that his "Letterman" linkage of anthrax and Iraq should be politically devastating--but it is true that it would be easy to formulate an attack ad out of his nonchalant asssertion (30 days after 9/11) that "the second phase is Iraq."


It looks like Samsung's Galaxy S5 flagship smartphone will be updated to Android 4.4.3 KitKat in the near future.
According to Sam Mobile and one of its insiders, Samsung is already testing Android 4.4.3 on the SM-G900F (Snapdragon) and SM-G900H (Exynos) variants of the S5. The latest version of Android is also tested on the Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE-A (GT-I9506A). At the moment, the update is being integrated with Samsung's own software customization on all three handsets, so it might take a while until it's rolled out to end users. As you may know, Android 4.4.3 isn't a major update, offering bug fixes and various optimizations.
Sam Mobile also provided new details regarding KitKat updates for some of Samsung's older smartphones (which currently run Android Jelly Bean). For example, June is when the update should be available for the Galaxy S4 Mini, Galaxy Mega 5.8, Galaxy Mega 6.3, and Galaxy Grand 2. As we told you not long ago, the non-LTE version of the Galaxy S III won't be updated to KitKat at all.
Firmware Updates used to be a priority when I used to buy phones 2-3 years ago, now it's not that deal breaker for me. Jumping from 2.3 to ICS, or from ICS to JB was a great improvement performance wise and also the functionality it brought with it. Now even if my phone got stuck on 4.2.2 (which I am sure it won't happen with my S5) it won't bother me, because the next update will bring almost nothing major for what the 4.2 has been offering. The biggest update will always be jumping to 4.1 JB, the rest that came and will come after are slight improvements of their predecessor.
I am not saying I want them to stop updating our phones, I was just making a point. People who don't go on tech news sites don't care about those updates, the majority don't even know what version their phone is as long as it is functioning flawlessly, it is just as that read a lot are brainwashed about updates, material used in the phone, this copied that, and became slaves to brands that don't give a damn about what we think, where ironically we are supposed to know better than those who have never been on a tech news site.
What the hell are you babeling about???How do you mean even if your S5 got stuck on 4.2.2, did you downgrade it.
Always a good sign to see OEMs working with latest update to release soon. Cmon Google, give it out.
The last part of my post above, is posted from someone with a house full of Nexus waiting for 443. I never implied it was available to any other then the OEMS for prep work for their phones.
It will bring bug fixes that will help with battery life and performance which would be great seeing how my s5 likes to lag a lot of times and I barely have any content on the phone. Can't wait to get rid of this. Even my g2 had a smoother experience than this.
Bring it on. I rather have the choice to upgrade. If I don't like it I could always down grade it to which ever version I prefer.

Tumultuous history of Rocky Flats will be captured in new museum
Posted on June 29, 2012 by Carol Turner
This article first appeared in the Broomfield Enterprise.
During the Cold War, when U.S. foreign policy centered around the nuclear arms race with the U.S.S.R., the federal government decided that weapons components should be built at separate sites. One location selected in 1951 was a windswept plateau between Highway 93 and Indiana Street in northern Jefferson County. There, the government contracted Dow Chemical to operate the high-security Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant, which manufactured plutonium triggers — a "steel or beryllium sphere containing plutonium 239 that triggers nuclear fission when compressed by explosives." (freedictionary.com). The triggers were shipped to another plant in Texas where they assembled hydrogen bombs.
Aerial view of Rocky Flats
From 1952 to 1992, Rocky Flats employed thousands of workers, many of them highly-paid, which energized the local economy. After 20 years of quiet operation, news broke about a major industrial fire in 1969. The public also learned about another fire in 1957 inside "gloveboxes," glass enclosures where workers handled plutonium through holes equipped with lead-lined gloves.
Glove boxes for handling plutonium
Furthermore, it was revealed that, in the late 1950s and 1960s, barrels of waste had been stored outside and had leaked small amounts of plutonium onto the ground. Soil sampling detected plutonium east of the site boundary near area water supplies, causing increased concern and additional environmental monitoring. Clean-up efforts for these accidents were among the most expensive in U.S. history, and Rocky Flats quickly became the target of protesters.
Although the plant was given a National Safety Council Award in 1986, in 1989 the FBI raided the site after getting tips from whistleblowers alleging midnight burning of waste. Investigators instead found other environmental violations and Rockwell, which had taken over in 1975, was fined $18.5 million. In 1992, the plant's mission was switched to cleanup and closure. Half the workforce (over 4,000 people) was laid off. The other half was kept on to participate in the ten-year, $7 billion clean-up. Citizens and officials from Broomfield, Westminster, Arvada, and other nearby towns closely monitored this process.
A worker holds a "button" of plutonium.
The plant's 800 buildings and structures have since been dismantled and removed. Although some express ongoing concerns, in 2005 the clean-up was declared complete. Most of the site is now the Rocky Flats National Wildlife Refuge.
More than ten years ago, interested folks began working to preserve the history and create the Rocky Flats Cold War Museum, which will educate the public about this top-secret site. Ann Lockhart, president of the museum board, recently gave me a preview of this fascinating museum, located at 5612 Yukon Street in Olde Town Arvada. Although exhibit planning is not yet complete, volunteers have rescued a number of historical artifacts from the plant, including several giant gloveboxes, a contamination suit (looks like a space suit), decontamination equipment, signs, barrels, and an "alpha-counter" used to check hands and feet for radiation. The museum also has a large photo, video, and document collection that will be assembled into a research library. In addition, volunteers have already recorded 150 oral histories from those who worked there.
Tanks of plutonium-containing solutions
In 2008, the museum received a Congressional appropriation, procured by then-Senator Wayne Allard, with funds spread over a five-year period. Additional funds are needed to complete the exhibits and open the museum in 2013. For more information, check out their website at http://www.rockyflatsmuseum.org.
Her first week on the job, and Marshal Beth Mayo is hit with a sex assault case. It's a nasty shock for the bucolic mountain town of Sugarloaf and for Mayo, who is still recovering from her husband's death. Her initial skepticism grows into disbelief over the victim's zany story, and she dismisses the case as a false report. Unfortunately, the same woman is soon discovered in the ruins of a ghost town, most definitely murdered.
Mayo unravels the complex case through a parade of colorful suspects and misfit family members, all the while following a common thread from 150 years earlier — Colorado history's most notorious event, the Sand Creek Massacre.

Star-ting over again
February 27, 2018 Classic Bike magazine
'Time may appear to be free, but it's harder to get than money when you need it...'
King Solomon's Mine or simply far too many projects?
I'm having a mid-life crisis. No, I'm not growing a pony tail and buying a Harley; I mean that I have started to question my approach to classic motorcycling and, well, even life in general. Having always been into old bikes, the prices of showroom beauties never worried me. To afford my dream bikes, there was always the option of picking up a project or even a basket case. It's a system that worked for me and I'm used to it. It got me the bikes I wanted and they've generally cost me more in terms of time than money... but there's a problem. Time may appear to be free, but the reality is that it's much harder to get hold of than money when you need it. The experience I've gained has made the rebuilds easier than they were when I was young, but on the other hand I have less free time nowadays and I realise my addiction to bringing basket cases back from the dead means that I never have the time to enjoy the fruit of my labour – a sunny day becomes a great day to get on with building that wheel, when surely I should be just going for a ride.
The thing is, I can't bale out now; with so many projects to do, I tell myself I need to work harder to get finished sooner. But, inevitably, more projects appear and the list continues to grow. Maybe I should sell a couple of projects and, instead of buying even more projects with the money that generates, use it to fix what I've got. Sounds crazy, but it might just work... Collecting is a bad habit; and like other bad habits it pays to have a close look at cleaning up your act as you get older. Self discipline is the key, and don't assume that you will have more time to deal with it later; if you haven't got time to start on that project now, the odds are you never will – and buying another one makes the situation worse, not better. Right, must dash – I've got an urgent wheel build on the go out in the shed...
I Need a Change
Is there a way to alter Triumph's gearshift pattern? Rick reckons the only way is up...
Even the factory Race Kit didn't include what Jan needs...
Jan from Tanzania says that while he can cope with his down-for-up right-side gearchange classics and up-for-up left-shift modern bikes, he's really struggling with the up-for-up rightside change on his 1969 Bonneville. "I'm sure they made reverse camplates available for the Triumph gearbox, but I'm unable to locate one," he says. "Any ideas?" I can't say I've ever heard of a reverse camplate for a Triumph, Jan – and neither has Cliff at Ace Classics, London. I wondered if one was included in the 'race kit' that was supplied for the early- '50s Tiger 100, but Cliff didn't think so, and reference to the parts diagram confirms it. The gearbox camplate directs the selector forks and a mirror-image version will preserve the gear pattern when the pedal is reversed for use with rearset footrests. Triumph were unusual in using an up-for-up pattern post-war; most other factories used the down-for-up pattern still popular for modern racing bikes, because the downward foot movement is faster, benefitting acceleration. Perhaps this is why even when the unit-construction Thruxton Bonneville racer came out, reversing the pedal (and thereby the gear pattern) to down-for-up wasn't seen as a problem that required a different camplate. And by then, linkage-type rearset pedals were available for anyone who couldn't adapt to the change. I wonder if Jan is thinking of BSA, who certainly offered a reverse camplate for the Gold Star, which in Clubman form came with the pedal reversed as standard. In this case, since the Gold Star was a standard production model, it would probably have been considered unacceptable to have a gear pattern that was different to other machines in the range; besides, since the Goldie was effectively a production racer, the racing up-for-down change may have been demanded by riders. I think Jan will have to try to get used to it; either that or fit rearsets and reverse the pedal…
A best bet for blacking-up and new Lucas parts
Granville still supply brush-on
heat-dispersant paint like this
Ken Bowler emailed to say, as regards cylinder painting, he's had a lot of success with Hammerite Bike Pot Black, which seems to stick well, claims to cope with 450°C and still works – even though his tin is dated 1998. Ah, there's the problem, Ken – Pot Black is unfortunately no more. The closest brushon product I know of is Granville Cylinder Black, which is hopefully as good and, like Pot Black, can be thinned with spirit for spray gun use, giving a more even coat and better penetration between deep fins.
Reproduction Lucas parts get
the thumbs-up from experts
You've probably seen the range of Lucas branded parts that are available now. Rex's Speedshop are stockists and I was discussing them with Marcus Rex the other day. He tells me that, far from being just an old trademark on inferior products, Lucas themselves have carefully monitored the reproduction range, which is mostly Taiwanese-made (like OE Japanese bike electrics) and high quality. Ferret backed this up, so that's good news.
Diameter Difficulty
Two treads: Ensign is the closet you'll get to Trials in 20in size
Colin Gyue has a 1971Triumph T25T Trailblazer which has been re-imported from the States, and is having trouble locating a 20in tyre for it. The only ones he can find are Ensigns with a block tread rather than the standard knobbly Dunlop Trials Universal. He asks whether it would be safe (or legal) to mix a road and trail tread, or if there is an alternative. The 20in Trials Universals were discontinued a long time ago and, although the Ensign range is styled after the tyres of the older bikes that fitted this unusual diameter, I can't see a problem. I've used a mix of trials and road patterns and although I can't see anybody recommending it, it worked OK and went through an MoT without comment. Because trials often involves road riding between sections, trials tyres have to be road legal – unlike motocross tyres, for example, which are purely off-road. Another alternative would be to have the wheel rebuilt with a different-sized rim for which tyres are more readily available. 21in would be more appropriate for off-road style, but the UK TR25W (Woodsman) model, which was a road bike but with some off-road styling (high-level exhaust, etc) had 18in front and rear. Me? I'd go for a 21in.
Sprocket swap
Mark Stevens is building a classic-inspired special based around a Suzuki SV650. To achieve the spoked-wheel look, he is using a rear hub from a DR650 laced to a 17in rim, but has run into problems with gearing as a result of the related change to tyre size. The standard sprocket set-up is 45 on the rear and 15 front and Mark asks if we can advise on the sizes he is likely to need. As he says, if he needs to get the sprockets made, he'd rather get it right first time. You can use trigonometry to calculate the circumference of a tyre from its diameter, but it is probably easier to make a mark on the tyre, roll it on the ground for one full revolution and measure the distance for both wheels. Then you have to figure out the percentage difference between the two and alter the gearing by a similar amount. If the diameter of your new wheel/tyre combination is smaller than before, it will raise the gearing, meaning you will need a larger rear sprocket or smaller gearbox sprocket. Again, the relationship is worked out on percentages, so if you have a 15 on the front and 45 on the rear, the front is 33% of the size of the rear, so one tooth less on the front equals three extra on the back. Having worked out the size you need, I would then look into what alternative sizes may be available from other Suzuki models. Sprocket blanks can be obtained from sources such as Sprockets Unlimited (01386 831341, sprocketsunlimited. com) I gave them a call and spoke to Jane, who told me that they can supply 16 or 17-tooth sprockets to fit the SV650 engine. If a sprocket needs to be specially made, a rear is the one to do, as it only requires holes, rather than complicated splines, machined. As their name suggests, Sprockets Unlimited can supply blanks and can also organise any necessary machining; expect to pay around £25 for a blank or £45 to £50 machined, although Jane pointed out that the SV650's 525 chain size means that the blanks are probably only available in Duralumin, which works but doesn't wear quite as well as steel –it can be hard anodised to increase durability, however.
Locate, mark and drill blind holes
It's not easy to match-drill when the existing hole layout is obscured. Here's a way around it that worked for me recently
1. I need to drill this spacer plate to match the magneto, but blind, threaded holes mean I can't scribe through the originals to mark the plate for drilling.
3. Then place the spacer plate in position. The holes are covered, but the marks on the side provide starting and finish points to redraw the centre lines.
2. One way around it is to mark a centre line between the holes and then extend it up the side in both north/south and east/west directions with a marker pen.
4. The final stage is to centre-punch the intersections of the lines and drill the holes at those points. With a bit of luck, your new holes will line up perfectly with the old ones.
After 25 years in a damp shed, Eddy Hamley thought he'd better refresh the fork oil as part of recommissioning his 1957 Triumph. But having flushed the fork legs with diesel and refilled them with oil, he was dismayed to find they seemed to have extended like a chopper. Assuming he'd put in too much oil, Eddy drained some out, but the problem remained. Loosening the pinch bolts and pumping the forks up and down didn't help, either. "The forks seem about 2in too long," he says. "What am I doing wrong?" My guess is that the damper rods have come unscrewed from the top nuts. The fork innards are similar to rear shocks. There's a damper unit with a rod emerging from the top. On the Triumph this rod screws into the fork top nut, secured with a lock nut. If the lock nut isn't tight enough, when you unscrew the top nut from the fork tube there's a good chance you are also unscrewing the damper rod which will then sink down into the stanchion out of sight. Eddy will need to fish about for it with a piece of wire and draw it up again until he can screw it back into the top nut; the locknut will hopefully still be on the rod and a wire hook will grab it – but remember, this is a damper so the harder you pull, the more the rod will resist. Take your time and it will be much easier.
Rick's Patch
Rick hopes he's finally solved his Goldie problem. Now he has to put back all the changes he made along the way...
The Gold Star is in the front of the garage, but carburation is next…
Well, the Gold Star is finally back together and with the cylinder shim removed it does seem more perky... but of course I'm now going to have to sort the carburation out all over again. I've heard some interesting opinions from other Goldie love/ haters. At the Stafford Show Job Hutchings was telling me I'd find life much easier if I fitted a Mikuni carb – that's a step too far for me, Job, but I may try the Concentric again before struggling with the GP. Job also recommended a look on the Gold Star page of the US Britbike web forums, there's a different take on Gold Star lore across the pond. Rob, who I met on the Island many years back, contacted my blog site (rickparkington.co.uk), where I had poured out the whole sorry story, to sympathise. He said he'd had loads of bother wading through dodgy pattern parts to get the bike right, but as he said: "When it runs well... fantastic!" Finally, Michael Wightman emailed to say that the DB32 he ran in the late '60s always seemed gutless. "Back then, BSA still had a Customer Technical Department, so I exchanged letters with the specialist there – but although I changed carbs, jets and checked the timing marks, I could never get it right. It never occurred to me the cam profile might be wrong." I'm sure Michael knows to check whether he has the DB32 engine pinion that advances timing by 10° for certain cam combinations, but I have to wonder – if even BSA couldn't solve a Goldie's problems, who can?

Contractor bonds are generally required by California state law and are really just a line of credit to protect a contractor's specific clients and the public. For more information and details about contractor bonds and they type and what you're required to have, call on the professionals at California Contractors Insurance. We're a company which specializes in the types of contractor bonds and/or contractors insurance needed for the peace of mind protection your business needs and requires to comply Kern County law. These assurances allow you to work a job site focusing solely on what you do best, and not worrying about other entanglements.
At California Contractors Insurance, we have a stable of contractors insurance agents who excel and specialize with the types of insurance (or in this case, contractor bonds) necessary to work as an independent contractor in Kern County CA . Local, state and federal law sets certain requirements and criteria to be met and these types of financial obligations can be difficult to understand. So let our experts help you with the type of contractor bonds or contractor insurance you need to do what you do best. Each of our contractor bonds experts is highly skilled, trained and certified, so you know we'll work tirelessly for you.
A contractor bond in Kern County is a type of a surety bond that is meant to cover the contractor, the customer and the state bond providing agency. In essence, the contractor bond is a kind of performance bond that supplies legal and financial cover for the three entities mentioned.
This bond is meant to apply throughout the construction job's duration. A contractor is obliged by law to protect a contractors' bond from the state's licensing agency, and it generally serves to guarantee that the contractor stays within the required laws that ensure professionalism.
As mentioned, the contractor bond in Kern County CA will cover three entities that have an interest in the task: the contractor, the client and the state agency that issued the bond.
When it comes to the contractor in Kern County, the bond is meant to make sure that they remain within the boundaries of ethics and professionalism throughout the life of the job. If there are dishonest choices that will affect any concerned party, the aggrieved party can file for compensation against the bond. The aggrieved party, in this case, could be the customer, the agency that provided the bond or both.
A contractor bond is more of a credit line instead of an insurance plan. It is not an actual insurance plan though. It is a legal arrangement between the contractor, client, and agency providing the bond.
Many states require that upon getting licensed, the specialists will also need to get a surety bond against a premium. The bond will place conditions on the contractor, and the conditions will remain in line with the state and federal laws that cover construction jobs. The bond will also define actions that are considered as violations of the laws on buildings.
On the occasion that the contractor breaches the agreement, investigations will be done by the surety agency. If they conclude that the claim is legitimate, then the plaintiff will be compensated as much as the total of the bond.
Therefore, the contractor will be required to pay back the surety for the amount that it has extended to the plaintiff. The contractor will, therefore, bear the monetary burden of the breach of contract. The contractor remains liable for their commitments although it is the surety who covers the claims.
Contractor bonds therefore are put in place to make sure that the contractor fulfills all ethical procedures and requirements. It also makes sure that professionalism is kept at all times during the life of the task.
This bond protects the client, as well as making the procedure of construction transparent. While it puts the burden on the contractor, it also ensures that only legally expert contractors stay in business, extracting unwanted competitors from cowboy contractors.
Kern County is just one of the many counties in California that we serve.


I was lucky to have never suffered from spots as a teen. In my twenties my skin glowed to the extent that not a day went by without someone commenting on how clear it was. Along came the "Dirty Thirties" and with them the onset of regular outbreaks of angry, red cysts along my jawline and on my cheeks. Each one lasting for weeks at a time and leaving behind it a delightful dark spot as a permanent, or at the very least, a very long lasting memento of what had passed on my poor face.
Whilst my case is by no means full-on adult acne, it's exceptionally annoying to have to deal with painful spots and lumps on a regular basis. My go-to remedy was always a dab of Clinique Anti- Blemish Solution once the spot had taken root and made a very confident appearance on my face. Whilst it did a good enough job of drying out the spot, and the surrounding skin, it never addressed the issue of the impending dark patch.
This is where I had been going wrong. I'd leave the spot to appear and then blast it with an alcohol-laden product which would no doubt exacerbate the inflammation before drying the spot- hence the inevitable dark spot.
I quickly changed my spot-fighting strategy and introduced Avène TriAcnéal treatment in to my regime. It contains a trio of acne-fighting, anti-inflammatory ingredients in a light cream texture that doesn't make skin feel tight or dry: efectiose to reduce inflammation, retinaldehyde to target the pimple and glycolic acid to exfoliate and smooth skin's surface. Whilst it is recommended for all-over use, I use it as a targeted spot treatment. Upon feeling that first tingle I quickly apply a little of this yellow cream directly on the spot and the surrounding area after cleansing. By morning, the tingling has either subsided and I've avoided a full-on zit, or the resulting spot is so minor that it usually clears up completely within a couple of days with no hint of a brown mark in sight.
Hi there! If you haven't found the results you're looking for with standard, at-home treatments, then chemical or laser peels as well as microdermabrasion are very effective in reducing the appearance of acne scars. Depending on how deep your scars are, you may also want to consider dermal filler injections which help to smooth out pock-marked skin. Of course, it's always best to consult your dermatologist for the best solutions for your individual case.


Monday night I taught my Group Guitar II students to play the song "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz. The song is in the Key of B which isn't an easy key to play on the guitar. So I taught the song in G (easier to sing for most men!) and kept it simple. If you want to play in B, just slap a capo on the 4th fret.
I also taught the class how to play the opening lead guitar riff in both B and G, figuring they would want to play along with the recording. Then I showed them how to noodle on a major scale shape like the attached pdf. file. This is what I spent half my teenage years doing—noodling along with my favorite records using these shapes!
Your second finger fretting the sixth string begins the pattern, and that finger plays the note that names the scale. Start at the third fret (second position) and you are playing in G. Starting on the seventh fret (sixth position) you are playing in B. If you learn this pattern and the names of the notes all along your sixth string, you can noodle musically in any key!
Yes. You should use your pinky!
Use the B Major scale and noodle along with this great Jason Mraz pop tune on Youtube. It's fun! I hope the 33,000 people who clicked "thumbs down" on his video are feeling better now.

Q: Location Manager inside Async Task from Service I have a service which checks a Database through a period of time to check if there is a valid requirement for the GPS. If there is a usage, it then starts the GPS locationupdates. I tried using a different thread but it would cause the App to hang. I found the App performed better with the do in background.
I keep getting the following error

Can't create handler inside thread that has not called
  Looper.prepare().

I try to use Looper but I just for some reason just can't seem to find the right way to implement it. I need a hand getting to the PingListener which will not run, I did remove the error by adding in
Looper.prepare();
before the While loop in gpsPlotter.
Please ignore all the logging and some garbage variables I left which I've left in there as I like to trace everything while coding.
public class PingListener implements LocationListener{
    public void onLocationChanged(Location pointer) {

A: Use IntentService instead of AsyncTask.

A: You need to put a Looper.loop() after the while loop
private class gpsPlotter extends AsyncTask<String, String, String>{

@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... arg0) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    int updateset = 0;
                Looper.prepare();
    while(true){
        try{
            BeaconHandler dbg = new BeaconHandler(Ping.this);
            List<Beacon> beacons = dbg.getAllBeacons();
            int activecheck = 0;
            for(Beacon bn : beacons){
                activecheck = activecheck + bn.getStatus();
            }
            //db.close();
            if(activecheck > 0 && updateset == 0){
                pinger.requestLocationUpdates(LocationManager.GPS_PROVIDER, 600, 0, reciever);
                updateset = 1;
                Log.d("GPS RESET", "Listener Set");
            }
            else if(activecheck == 0 && updateset == 1){

Restricting the use of antibiotics is unlikely to stop the spread of drug resistance in typhoid fever, according to a study funded by the Wellcome Trust and published in the journaleLife.
The findings reveal that antibiotic-resistant strains of Salmonella Typhi bacteria can out-compete drug sensitive strains when grown in the laboratory, even in the absence of antibiotics.
Typhoid fever is transmitted by consuming food or drink that is contaminated with Salmonella Typhi bacteria and the disease is linked to poor sanitation and limited access to clean drinking water. The disease can be treated but there is widespread drug resistance to common antibiotics and resistance to the recommended, more specialised antibiotic therapy for typhoid fever is increasing.
Researchers at the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit, Wellcome Trust Vietnam Research Programme, created twelve laboratory strains of Salmonella Typhi bacteria with one or more genetic mutations that confer resistance to the recommended antibiotic therapy for typhoid fever, fluoroquinolone. Typically, when bacteria develop antibiotic resistance it comes at a cost and when the drug is absent, they are usually weaker and less able to compete for food and resources than strains that are not resistant.
There are an estimated 21 million cases of typhoid fever around the world each year. If left untreated, it's estimated that up to one in five with the disease will die and of those who survive, some will have permanent physical or mental disabilities. According to a World Health Organization report, 90% of the world's typhoid deaths occur in Asia and the disease persists mainly in children under five years.
Typhoid infects the gut and bloodstream, causing fever that can reach temperatures of 39°-40° C and constipation or diarrhoea. The disease can be associated with other characteristics including, rose-coloured spots on the chest, confusion and perforation of the gut.
