The Otterhound is a British dog breed that has ancestry in the Bloodhound line with one ancestor being the Airedale Terrier. Many love these dogs, as they can be very comical while also at times looking very noble. Even though they have the appearance of nobility, they are fun loving and amusing.
Even though the Otterhound does love their master and their family they do put them on a pedestal. He will be very happy to see you when you first come home, however, that is about it, then he will go his own way such as taking a nap in his favorite spot.
Otterhounds were of course, used to hunt otters but the sport along with the breed have never been very popular. On the other hand, you can find paintings of dogs believed to be Otterhounds in various paintings by artists such as Walter Hunt, John Sargent, Maud Earl, and Louis Agassiz Fuertes, and Samuel Howitt from the late 1700s through the 1920s.
Today, there are still only around 1000 Otterhounds in existence worldwide with most found in the United Kingdom and the United States, with a few spread out through Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, Switzerland, and New Zealand. In the United States and Canada, there are an estimated 350 Otterhounds.
The Otterhound is a large dog standing at between 26 to 28 inches tall for males and 24 to 26 inches for females weighing 95 to 115 pounds for males and 65 to 90 pounds for females.
The coat of the Otterhound is rough with a wooly undercoat with the outer coat ranging from 2 to 6 inches, which is oily. Coat colors for the Otterhound varies, however, it usually comes in grizzle or wheaten with black markings. In many cases, the coat will lighten, as the dog grows older to a light blonde with an ash blonde saddle. The thick wooly undercoat helps protect the Otterhound from cold and wet weather. Their bodies are long and strong to help them perform long hours of hard work.
The Otterhound is known as a comedian more from their shaggy face and busy eyebrows than just their unique personality. They have a muscular neck with an abundant dewlap. Their eyes are always dark with rosy conjunctiva. With eye color and eye rim complimenting the color of the coat. They have very long low hanging ears. The tail should be long and curves up over the back similar to a saber. The lips should be pendant shaped and thick.
The Otterhounds head is similar to a bloodhound, which is large, deep, and wide. The head should only be domed slightly and covered very well with hair. The muzzle is square with powerful and deep flews.
The are similar in ways to other pack hounds in that they have webbed feet, which makes them great swimmers. The Otterhound has thick deep pads with arched toes, which helps them in all types of terrain to romp, play, or hunt.
If you are looking for that perfect big dog with a great personality then you have found the one of your dreams. The Otterhound is good-natured, energetic and calm even though they are not as loving as one might like. They will of course know you are master and give you a bit of attention in the morning or when you come in for the day, but the rest of the time, he or she would rather be off doing their own thing.
Normally the Otterhound does well with other animals especially if raised around them. Otterhounds have been known to get along well with cats, horses, parrots, pigs, and dogs of all breeds. Pretty much anyone or any animals that are in their pack are acceptable. He enjoys playing by himself and is a joy to watch.
Otterhounds are not happy indoors and will live a pretty inactive life. They need plenty of room to romp and play so a large fenced yard would be best if you desire to keep your Otterhound happy. With their warm double coat, they do well outdoors in cool weather but do need to be watched in warm climates.
The Otterhound needs lots of daily exercise such as running, walking on a leash, and if at all possible find him a place to swim.
You should brush the Otterhound's coat at least once per week or more often to prevent matting. The beard may need washed, as it loves to catch food. He will need his toenails trimmed monthly. The ears should be checked more often than bathing along with brushing their teeth.
The Otterhound has never been a breed of dog that is over abundant, a mater of fact it has been listed as the most endangered dog breed in Britain after only 51 were born in this country in 2006. It is considered to be more endangered than the Giant Panda.
The Otterhound is an old breed coming to us from Britain where they crossed the Bloodhound with rough-haired Terriers such as the Griffons and Harriers. The reason otter is part of the name is of course from their favorite prey. The Otterhounds were used in packs to control the otter population. Fishermen of the time were in competition with the otters for the trout found in rivers.
Some famous kings were known to be own Otterhounds and were given the title of "Master of Otterhounds", which included King John, Richard III, Charles II, Edward II, Edward IV, Henry II, Henry VI, Henry VII, Henry VII and Queen Elizabeth I.
During hunting season in the 1800's there were over 12 packs operating in Britain. The Otterhound has a keen sense of smell that is remarkable in that they can tell if a otter had passed by the way the night before, thus the reason they were so popular.
The 20th century brought a decline in the popularity of the Otterhound due to the fact the population of otters had declined. In 1978, otters became a protected species, thus the need of Otterhounds for hunting was totally unnecessary. This brought about a change in the breed whereas breeders that loved the Otterhound began to breed the dog and put it in the show ring. However, because of its swimming ability some hunters began to use the Otterhound for hunting such prey as bear, raccoon, and mink. Their sense of smell also made them great for drag-hunting and searching.
The United States saw their first Otterhound in the early 20th century with six Otterhounds seen at an AKC show in 1907. In 1937, Dr. Hugh Mouat started a breeding program, which in 1941 produced the first AKC champions.

Clash 114 Tame Impala
For some, a divergence of perspective is a single, life altering moment: a big bang, after which nothing is ever the same. For others, there is a need to constantly amend their worldviews, to adapt to the impulsive revolutions of their imagination.
In an issue dedicated to those who endeavor to introduce renewed methods of thought, the fourth of its six cover stars embodies the kind of relentless creativity that preserves music's magical unpredictability.
Kevin Parker is the lynchpin of Australia's psychedelic voyagers Tame Impala, and he has pushed the group to astonishing heights, fueling their success with a refusal to be pinned down, and ensuring that their next steps always surprise and delight in equal measure. Their imminent fourth album, 'The Slow Rush', is set to do both; its diverse influences coalescing into one truly stunning whole.
"I would never have thought that this group of songs would ever fit together," Kevin tells Clash. "I've forced myself to try and not think about that. In my brain I like things to be consistent, and cleanly fitting together on an album, but I know I have to challenge myself because if I give in to what I think is clean and tidy then it's going to be boring. And especially these days, I feel like now more than ever, an album by one artist could have 20 different genres on it."
Also featured in this issue is HAIM, Denzel Curry, Halsey, JPEGMAFIA, AJ Mitchell, Lolo Zouaï, Patti Smith, Nick Mason, Akon, Pop Smoke, Maisie Peters, The Beatles, and many more. Other covers to follow this week.
Kevin Parker wears full look by Dior.

QUOTE (Sonyab Sep 6 2004 @ 11:46 AM )
Yeah this was a good episode!!! I loved it! He said he had a cousin in this episode but he didn't tell us which family she was from. He never talked about her again. So what happend to her? Did she die? Well obviously she died because he did say later he didnt have any family members.. So how did she die?
Oh another thing when he was tied to that bed thing with the hot sun they showed this guy that looked dead. When Mac cut himself out he grabbed the dead guy's belt I think. How did the guy die? MacGyver couldn't of killed him altho it did cross my mind but who killed the guy?
QUOTE (Rockateer Sep 6 2004 @ 12:12 PM)
I thought the guy was just knocked out?
QUOTE (MacGyverGod Sep 6 2004 @ 12:45 PM )
Good episode. It learns us that plans can backfire and that you'll never know when you get hit in the *pow* face. We learn very little more about his past, his cousin, his mom and broiled chicken. Nice ending too maybe somewhat dramatic but nice. Truang is the worst. Thinks he's all big, bad and tough. Big? Yes. Fat? True too. Bad? Not a chance. Tough? No siree. But most of all incredible stupid. But then again this was only the second episode. So I might let slip this one through the fingers.
QUOTE (Rockatteer Sep 6 2004 @ 06:22 PM )
I loved the scene where the boy watches the chopper take off and cries becasue he thinks his only hope has left him.
Very moving scene. *whipes tear from eye*
The rest of the show was pretty good also... kinda kept the indiana jones feel to the show with being out in the jungle and stuff.
I'm guessing the ladies enjoyed the sun bathing scene and the fact that he wears a tank top for most of the show.
QUOTE (MacGyver Sep 8 2004 @ 02:20 AM )
"The Golden Triangle" is one of the first episodes I remember watching. For some reason, I don't think I remember watching the pilot as a child, but sometimes my memory gets weird and remembers some things from childhood and forgets others. Of course, sometimes I forget things that happened yesterday, but anyway.
I definitely loved the jungle traps that MacGyver helped the people set up. My favorite moment has to be watching MacGyver grab onto the helicopter as it's taking off and keeping the bad guys from escaping.
Yes, I also get a little misty-eyed at the part where the boy runs to hug MacGyver when he sees that he's come back. It was a very cool episode, filled with MacGyverisms and also an early look at how much MacGyver despises using guns. He refuses to teach the people how to use guns as weapons but shows them another way of fighting. I thought that was pretty significant. It's definitely one of my favorite 1st. season episodes.
QUOTE ( zhennu Sep 9 2004 @ 09:24 AM )
I thought when the chopper left, MacGyver wasn't coming back, but I slapped myself silly to get that straight!
QUOTE (MacGyvergod Sep 10 2004 @ 02:56 AM )
But I have to admit that it was neatly camouflaged cuz you can really see him going in the chopper and when the chopper left MacGyver is just standing there with his hands in his pockets.
QUOTE (thyla Sep 21 2004 @ 09:15 AM)
Great epy. With that start (sunbathing, mmmmm....) it can't be bad.
Also loved the ending. RDA seemed quite agile in that fighting scene. A natural athlete. Very nice jumping kick, good stance. Looked like he knew what he was doing (vs. actors who only learn some moves that look good on camera - but this is a whole other topic I can write pages about). We don't see him doing that very often in later episodes.
QUOTE (rockatteer Sep 21 2004 @ 10:12 AM)
Did anyone else notice that in the first few Eps he was a good fighter, like he'd been trained to fight. (which you would expect from an ex-special forces agent) and then suddenly changes to doesn't like fighting and seemed quite clumsy in his fighting style?
QUOTE (zhennu Sep 21 2004 @ 10:16 AM)
I slightly noticed that part, Rocka, but I ended up ignoring it saying to myself that he's lost practice (well, I have to disagree...his life has a lot of fighting, which SHOULD keep him in shape and practice! xD). I wonder why though...=/
QUOTE (MacGyverGod Sep 22 2004 @ 02:59 AM)
Usually he only needs one punch. Clumsy fighting style? Well sometimes he didn't hurt his hand, or he didn't care about it that it hurt. Maybe he adjusts his style depending on who he's fighting. Although he could've showed more of his skills as special forces agent. Well in The Golden Triangle and The Stringer you can see he changes his style. In the Golden Triangle he has almost a perfect fighting stance in front of General Narai. Also when he jumps up and tries to kick him and in The Stringer on the ship, when he jumps on that guy. Just look at him when he jumps up and down on his toes and then block, block, punch, punch. KNOCK OUT!
The last fight scene in Target MacGyver he has good skills too.

QUOTE ( thyla Sep 23 2004 @ 08:41 AM)
I believe this falls under the "afterthought" and developing the character in a different direction than originally planned category (non-violence, anti-gun etc.)
You can see even in later episodes when he is supposed to be "clumsy", as Rock put it, that there is a definite martial arts training there that peeks through. There are several episodes, such as "Target MacGyver", where this is very obvious. I have noticed a certain affinity with the bo (fighting pike) for example.
I think using the "Hollywood one punch" approach was a conscious choice on his part to set Mac aside from other action heroes.
Don't you think that is sometimes boring? Bad guys kick good guys bum, good guys solve the whole thing with one single punch? It's good they had some decent fights in the series. But if you look at the moves, they both get equal moves to do. In Easy Target the fight had about 8 moves. 4 of Mac 4 of the other guy. Mac punches him, the guy hits him twice and kicks him twice, Mac punches him three times and wins. OK so there is still the rolling down the hill and throwing sand. But I meant fysical moves.
QUOTE (Rockatteer Sep 24 2004 @ 09:54 AM )
Yes it makes things more realistic if its evened out.
Although I still don't like the way people can be munched really hard and still be able to fight back. Thats abolute rubbish. real fights just don't work like that.
You pack a real puch at someones jaw, and they not going to get up again. Like wise if you pack a real kick at someone your going to break ribs and do internal damage...they may get up, but they won't be fighting back.
Just don't think about the pain but of course that's the only thing you can think about if they really kick your bum. But if someone ever hits me in the face they can expect a punch back.
Ok, several points:
QUOTE (rockatteer)
um.... actually not quite. In most fights (unless it's an organized sports event with certain rules) there is no eveness whatsoever. You don't punch and then wait for the other guy to punch back. There is nothing realistic about that. Go in first, go in fast, get as many hits in as possible and don't stop until you are sure the other guy won't get up.
Actually, you can get hit really hard and still fight back. Of course, there are several factors that are usually present:
- you are trained to be able to take hits. Most people never get hit so when it happens they usually freeze up.
- the attack doesn't catch you in a vital area. Again, it helps to be trained to know which areas to protect and how to protect them.
- don't ever discount the effects of good ol' adrenalin. Police officers can tell you cases where they shot a man several times and he still kept coming at them.
As far as fights in movies. They all follow a certain pattern. The good guy always gets kicked around first, the bad guy uses unfair tactics, but at the end the good guy prevails. Yes it's cliche, but hey, nobody wants to see the hero lose, right?
Also, people have to train to do movie fights. First of all you do not want to hurt the other guy. Second, you have to fight with the camera in mind. The moves have to be slowed down. You have to make sure you do not block the camera angles. The fight is choreographed, etc, etc. There are certain moves that look good on camera (such as spinning back kicks or the infamous swinging hook, otherwise known as the sucker punch) but you would never use them in real life 'cause they are too slow and you'd have your bum handed to you if you'd try to use one of those on the street.
Now look what you've done! Ok, I get off my soap box.
QUOTE (rockatteer Sep 25 2004 @ 10:29 PM)
I was refering to the average Joe. Not someone who is trained to fight. I also ment hit hard in somewhere like the jaw or solar plexis, which I guess would fall in the vital area catagory you refer to.
But if someone ever hits me in the face they can expect a punch back.
Ever been hit really hard in the face MG?
QUOTE ( Asbjørn Jan 19 2006 @ 05:03 AM)
Back to the beginning of the episode. ..
This is the one where Mac talks about the dog he had once, isn't it? (the one that had been abused)
- Can anyone find that quote for me? - The stuff he says about the dog and compares it to those supressed people.
And about the fight: Yes, it depends on your training, the camera angles etc, but I'm quite convinced that most ordinary people would get serious injuries from movie- style fights if they had happened for real...
QUOTE ( MacsChick Jan 19 2006 @ 04:10 PM)
I like this one, too...the fight scenes, his decision to stick around and help the whole village, tied up and sweating, oh, and yes...the beach! That shot became the inspiration for my desktop!
QUOTE (Lothithil Jan 20 2006 @ 03:44 AM)
If my memory serves, it goes something like this...
"A long time ago my cousin Ally got a dog from the pound... part Airdale, part Spaniel... real cute... but she'd been beaten. So all that puppy knew how to do was cower; cringe away from you, expecting to be hit. It's a real ugly thing to see in a dog... it's even worse in a human being."

Ratty...you're great for finding and working on restoring the comments!
I voted excellent! So many in the first season are because they are classics! MacGyver goes on an important assignment (were there any that weren't important?) and in typical style finds a side cause...I love it when Mac works with people to change how they view themselves...he helps them find it in themselves to be free and fight for it. And of course, you've got the little kid factor...I love the scene too where he thinks Mac is leaving. And I love the tongue in cheek humor when he's asked what he's doing there...

Ah, it's this one. A lot of people seem to just hate this episode, mostly because they find it boring, overwrought, dramatic and lame. It is. But it has its good points, to be sure. However, this isn't exactly the best way to follow up a series pilot.
The main problem with this episode is probably the performances. Anderson is good, but he's not up to his standard. I liked George Cheung as Narai, and Keye Luke turns in exactly the performance that his fans would expect, but the rest aren't quite as good. In particular, Benjamin Lum as Truang has some major problems, mostly with being extremely dramatic and idiotic. These may have been character flaws, but Lum certainly had his part in the character's failure. As well, the story is a little boring- generic and weak.
The direction is fine, about up to the typical standard. The opening gambit is probably better than everything else- you could have flipped it with the episode, developing its story and reducing the episode's, and I think everything would have been better. There are a couple of impressive moments, but nothing for the record books. Overall, this is a missable episode.

Like I said about 3 years ago now, this is one of the first episodes of MacGyver I remember seeing as a child. "The Golden Triangle" is one of my all time favorites!!! There were lots of great traps he helps the people set up and I particularly love the scene where Mac ropes down the helicopter!!! Cool!
And it's one of the earliest expressions of MacGyver's disgust for guns when he refuses to teach the people how to shoot weapons, but shows them a better way to fight.
And I still definitely get misty-eyed at the scene where the kid thinks MacGyver's about to leave, but then is elated when he finds that MacGyver has in fact stayed to help them.
And the opening gambit in the junkyard was great too, of course. The whole episode was really great- with lots of iconic scenes culled from this episode that are used in the opening credits a lot- MacGyver pole vaulting onto that guy in the jeep, MacGyver blowing up the flare, diving under the jeep as the helicopter swoops by and pulling down the helicopter. Overall, this is an excellent episode!
Yeah I would say this would be one of those episodes that any newcomer to MacGyver needs to watch, just to get some basic character understanding.
SAK owned: Ambassador
Well, if he really disgusts guns, why would he then use the weapons in this other way? Shooting is shooting, and somebody easily could have get hurt or even killed by this arrangement either. All it needs is one wrong touch, and if then somebody was standing in the line of fire... very dangerous, in my opinion! Especially for people that shortly before didn't even know which end the bullets go in.

Love the helicopter stunt scene. That was kewl.
The rest was 80's television. *shrugs* What can you do?

I voted Good. This was actually the first episode I remember seeing. I missed the pilot the first time it aired and caught it on a summer rebroadcast.
The Golden Triangle was the reason I kept watching MacGyver. some of the "acting" was way over the top, and the writing could have been tighter, but for the second episode of a new series, it wasn't too bad.
I can remember that there was some controversy over the show because of the level of violence in this episode. There were some family watchdog groups pitching a fit becasue this particualr episode was considered very violent and aired during primetime family hour.
Its funny now, comparing the level of violence in MacGyver to the shows that air on primetime on network and cable TV. When taken in context of today's TV offerings and the violence in them, MacGyver becomes remarkably tame. I guess 20 years changes a lot.
Overall, its a pretty good episode.

Just wanted to mention something I heard Mac say in this episode. He said that he had a cousin that adopted a dog that had been beaten. Every time that someone went to pet the dog, she would cower; and that it is sad to see in animals and humans. Don't know if anyone else caught on to that statement. But it perked my ears up. Maybe that is how Young MacGyver came to be.
QUOTE (SMeeceymouse @ 23 April 2009 - 09:18 AM)
I think that point as been thrown into the argument once before, but it was decided that you can't get a nephew from a cousin, because nephews are children of your brother or sister, and I think we also agreed that because this was a very early episode, the characters background hadn't been worked out yet.. i.e. Shooting the gun in the first episode.
Thats not to say that the original idea of a nephew didn't' come from that statement, it could very well be that the research for Young MacGyver was simply watching the first few episodes of the show.. in fact I'd go so far as to say it probably was the research.
Mac may have been an older cousin, and used the "uncle" has term of endearment. And if he had a cousin his grandfather on the Mac side had to have a son or a daughter. That would've made them cousins.
Yeah, but it's made pretty clear in later episodes that he has no family of any kind. So the producers of the Young MacGyver obviously didn't do very much, if any homework on the character.
There was no explanation given in the pilot episode of the show to explain any unusual circumstances... i.e. an unknown family member etc, so they took no steps to explain how MacGyver suddenly has a family member, which indicates, again, that the producers of that show didn't know what they where doing. So it's probably just as well the show wasn't picked up, who knows what other sacrilege's they might have pulled.
It happens all the time in the Soap opera world. The lost the history of the script that was first written. Shame on them.

Didn't like this episode. I couldn't get past the horrendous acting by everyone involved.
Plus, I don't know if it's just me, but I have a hard time seeing Season 1 episodes as being part of the same series that we see in seasons 2-7. It just feels like a different character. There are things Mac does in Season 1 that I really couldn't see him doing later on. That's not really a criticism, but it does make it harder to watch some season 1 episodes.

There is only one thing about this episode I dont like so much and that is Truang comes across as too much of an idiot (I think someone else already said something similar). Other than that, one great thing that sticks out for me in this episode is right at the end when a villager (Ming?) says "now we are free", Mac says "yeah", and then we hear the sound of synthesizer and drum play as the helicopter rotors turn. For some reason I find that such a powerful and cool ending.

This must be one of the few episodes which doesn't end on a face shot of MacGyver.
This is quite an enjoyable and fun episode to watch. I love the whole scene when Truang tells Narai that he made MacGyver talk. The way Narai turns to look at him completely unimpressed and then looks back at MacGyver who gives him that shrug. It's almost like both MacGyver and Narai are thinking the same thing. Makes me laugh every time.

As with the previous episode, some of the things that I thought of have already been discussed. I have some reflections though:
I love this opening gambit as well. I know, it's been said many times, but the "hit in the face" line always cracks me up. We're starting to get a grip on MacGyver's sense of humor!
I find it very interesting that the episode starts with the sunbathing scene, where we find Mac conveniently stretched out, relaxing in the sun on the beach--and just a few scenes later he's tied up in a stretched out position, exposed to extreme heat and sunlight and left to die!
The scene when Mac returns from the chopper after returning the canister, just to help the people, is indeed heartwarming, and also shows what a sympathetic character he is--always willing to risk his life to help others!
Another great example of his sarcastic sense of humor.
It was also touching to watch that despite the fact that the people were freed from their slave labor for the general, Mac was still saddened that the general had to die. Maybe that was why they didn't show his face at the end--it wasn't after all a 100% happy ending when someone had to get killed...
A "good" rating from me.
QUOTE (NightTinkerer @ 30 July 2012 - 06:16 AM)
Yeah that scene chokes me up a little every time. The boy thought his only hope of freedom and getting out of the horrible slave situation he was in had just left him there without a thought. And then when the smoke clears and you see that MacGyver hasn't left at all - very heartwarming indeed.

I agree Kiwi, plus Mac's comment to the boy. I don't remember exactly what it was right now but something like, "It's ok, I'm not going anywhere" or something similar. I really liked that!!

I watched this episode again last night and noticed something as the ending credits were rolling (I think it was this episode)...there was a person with the first name of Angus listed in the credits!! I'm not sure if they had decided upon Mac's first name when this episode was shot, but I thought it was interesting to see.

I really like the opening gambit in this episode as well. The "Hit in the face" line always cracks me up. Just another early example of Mac's sense of humor. Some of the acting was way over the top. And the writing could have been a lot tighter, but for the second episode of a new series, it wasn't that bad. I love the scene when Truang tells Narai that he made MacGyver talk. The way Narai turns to look at him completely unimpressed and then looks back at MacGyver who gives him a shrug. It's almost like MacGyver and Narai are thinking the same thing. Another example of Mac's sarcastic sense of humor. The scene when Mac returns from the chopper after returning the canister, just to help the people, is very kind and heartwarming, and this scene also shows what a sympathetic character he is. Because Mac is always willing to risk his life to help others! I also really liked the scene were one of the villagers says "Now we are free", And Mac says "Yeah" and then and then we hear the sound of synthesizer and drum play as the helicopter rotors turn. For some reason I find that such a powerful and very cool scene. And I also felt that Mac was kid of sad that the general had to die in the end. They didn't show it on his face at the end. But it isn't a happy ending if someone had to die... Not a great episode, but still a good episode.

I love the high-stakes-adventure episodes
I particularly like the way Mac ropes the whole village into the plan, kids and all! I like the way he gives the bad guys loads of opportunities to give it up and the way the villagers rally round when they see there is hope.

I wondered that, too. But I explain this so, that MacGyver freed himself with the knife, he knocked out this guy and then he laid down again and only pretended to be tied up, so he could easily eliminate the next guy.
I agree, that MacGyver's character was quite different in season 1 or, at least, in the first half of season 1. It was much lighter and careless and there was some James Bond-like twist in him. But the first season is what I remember best from my childhood and for that reason it's very important for me. So, I love the season 1 very much.
About that fighting thing: I like this part of MacGyver's character, that he wasn't a very good fighter. He was clumsy and won the fights rather by lucky accidents or using his cleverness than with brutal force. RDA was very athletic and could be much better fighter than MacGyver , although this clumsiness was definitely the quality, that RDA himself brought in MacGyver's character. And it was a good idea, 'cause it adds the reality and convincingness of the character. And, because of his background as a mime and because of the qualities of his own personality, RDA acted this clumsiness perfectly.
But, what is far away from reality, and particularly in this episode, is this eternal enigma of language. But, as we saw in Stargate SG-1, the WHOLE UNIVERSE speak english, so this problem is solved

A lot of people know that marriage is civil agreement. Government specified many rules to treat for marriage and make marriage between man and woman proceeding properly and affecting legally. For getting advantage to spouse and society, we call this treaty "marriage condition". The law specified 8 features.
First, man and woman need to be 17 years old, because law wants spouse to completely grow up in physical, mental and brain aspects . And it wants them to have feeling to be householder. If there is a necessary cause to marry , for example , pregnant before 17 years old. The person who has not reach the age needs to ask for permission to marry.
Second, man and woman which will marry have to have no mental disorder or normally we understand that they are crazy. Moreover, it includes nut people who are lacking of right and wrong feelings, but not includes squander manner or alcoholic.
Third, man and woman have not to be relatives, because it is a medical reason to protect the baby having brain disease and it is a moral reason as well, because marry with person in the same blood affecting to the feeling of people in society.
Fourth, Man and woman who will marry have not to be spouse of other or we understand that it cannot be plural marriage. Fifth, man and woman consent to be husband and wife. This consent is volunteering , and other people cannot consent instead of spouse, because marriage of specific matter. Spouse has to consent in front of registrar and registrar needs to record this agreement.
Fifth, Man and woman consent to be husband and wife. This consent is volunteering , and other people cannot consent instead of spouse, because marriage of specific matter. Spouse has to consent in front of registrar and registrar needs to record this agreement.
Sixth, There are adopter and adopted child cases. Normally they cannot marry, because the law let them be parents and children. However, they were not forbidden, because adopter and adopted child are not have blood relationship. So that, law specified that if they marry, adopted child will cancel according to the law immediately.
Seventh, is about widow case or woman who used to marry and will re-marry. No matter previous marry was ended because husband died or divorced. If she would like to re-marry, she needed to wait not less than 310 days counting from the day that she ended previous marriage for protecting correct parents of a child. In case man widow, hecan re-marry immediately and need not to wait for that period.
The last case is minor will marry, because law realizes that parents still take care of minor or parents can decide who isspouse of the child better than he or she does by himself or herself. Parents also support money for child's marriage. Therefore, this will be suitable to let minor get consent from parents before marry which is legal.

Hi, I am a professional gambler and currently also sell my picks to customers.
I have had great success but find it hard to get new customers, where is the best place to advertise.
Prove it and you don't need advertising?
ak and Shay like this.
Yeah what's your definition of success, do you live off of gambling?
KevinMcC and Bauss like this.
Sure I wouldn't mind seeing that. I could use some more inspiration.
Will you be posting your picks?
Do you have your own website? Somewhere that talks about you, your experience, your results?
As stated, probably the best way to get your service known is to give info away free for a period of time. If you show good results, people will eventually pay.
That could be done on here, or one of many other forums. Suggest a forum dedicated to the specific form of sportsbetting you cover.
Hey EastCoastWiseGuys are you still here?

New Releases This Week (May 14, 2017)
Handel·
Get your wallets ready folks, the New Releases This Week are plentiful. We have games, home videos and theatrical releases all crammed into this week's agenda. For the moment, I am going to lay off of music. It very much seems that I have lost touch with the music scene. Regardless, there is plenty of great stuff to talk about, so let's get right to it!
There is a something for almost everyone this week. Whether you are into fighting games, action, RPGs or VR games, there is something for you to check out. The first title on the list is a big one; fans of comics and/or the good ol' ultra-violence will want to get their hands on…
Injustice 2 is the super-powered sequel to the hit game Injustice: Gods Among Us that allows players to build and power up the ultimate version of their favorite DC characters. Featuring a massive selection of DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains, players can personalize iconic DC characters with unique and powerful gear earned throughout the game. Additionally, for the first time, gamers can take control of how their characters look, fight and develop across a variety of game modes.
Players can choose from the biggest DC roster ever offered in a fighting game, from classic fan favorites such as Batman, Superman, Supergirl, The Flash, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Blue Beetle, to astonishing new villains like Atrocitus, Gorilla Grodd and Deadshot.
Injustice 2 continues the story set in motion in Injustice: Gods Among Us as Batman and his allies work towards putting the pieces of society back together, but struggle against those who would restore Superman's Regime. In the midst of this chaos, a new threat appears that will put Earth's very existence at risk.
Injustice 2 is officially available physically and digitally on May 16, but pre-order customers began their digital downloads over the weekend. GameStop started selling the game at 9PM Monday, May 15. Everyone seems to be racing to play it.
Balancing risk and reward is key in The Surge's combat, as the unique loot system gives you greater control over what you claim from defeated enemies. In visceral combat, target specific body parts and damage them with a combination of vertical and horizontal attacks before slicing the part off entirely. What you dismember directly determines what piece of equipment you loot! When approaching an enemy, you face a difficult decision: Do you target an unarmored body part for a shorter fight, or risk a lengthier, more damaging battle for a chance at slicing off a shiny new piece of equipment?
To get the best loot you'll need to take on the most difficult enemies, so positioning and speed are vital. Use your exo-enhanced dodges, blocks, ducks, and jumps to avoid attacks while managing stamina, ensuring you're always in the right place to strike the limb you want―or ready to avoid a potentially damning blow. The rules of combat apply to both you and your enemy: Get hit in an unarmored limb, and you'll go down faster. Take advantage of the enemy's weaknesses while balancing your own, and you'll walk away with their strengths!
May 16, you can augment your character exactly the way in which you want to. The Surge is available on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One for $59.99. The Surge is also optimized for PS4 PRO
Akiba's Beat
A spiritual successor to Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed, Akiba's Beat is a modern-day satirical spin on the classic Japanese RPG formula. Set in a true-to-life recreation of Tokyo's Akihabara district ("Akiva" for short), players will take control of a party of characters led by protagonist Asahi Tachibana as they seek to rid the town of anything out of sync with reality during a repeating Sunday from which none of them are able to break away.
There are two sides to the gameplay: first, players will wander the streets and question the quirky Akihabara residents on a variety of subjects related to the mystery at hand, ultimately unlocking fantasy-themed dungeons known as "Delusionscapes" which are infested with monsters called "deluseons." These deluseons are encountered on the map and fought in a party-based action battle system, putting players' skills to the test and creating a uniquely challenging experience that seamlessly blends a real-life locale with the secret delusory world of its residents' innermost desires.
Akiba's Beat also features dual audio support with both English and Japanese language dialog options covering each of its nearly 22,000 spoken lines. Further information on the game's characters, narrative, and otaku offerings can be found on the recently launched website at http://www.akibasbeat.com.
Akiba's Beat is available May 16 on PlayStation 4 for $49.99. It is also available on PS Vita for $39.99
Sony is trying to make sure that PSVR does not become a forgotten gimmick like the Microsoft Kinect. To that end, they want to ensure gamers that Farpoint is not just another VR experience; it is a full-fledged, FPS in fully immersive virtual reality. May 16, you can experience that immersion via PlayStation VR.
Farpoint is a riveting VR space adventure set on a hostile alien planet. On a mission to pick up scientists studying an anomaly near Jupiter, a sudden rupture nearby sends you and their station crashing onto an unknown alien world.
Separated from your colleagues, you must use holographic logs scattered throughout the landscape to reunite with the scientists and escape the planet. Explore and discover the secrets of the planet, blasting your way through hordes of indigenous and alien life as you keep moving to survive.
Farpoint is available May 16 for $49.99 as a standalone game. If you want the controller, you can get it bundled with the game for $79.99.
In ROKH, players must explore the Martian landscape as they scavenge through deserted human structures to gather the resources they need to survive. With few blueprints, players must use their ingenuity to create tools from a variety of materials and construct their own encampments with no design limitations.
ROKH places players on a cold and dry land that harbors a wealth of resources to extract and exploit. Players will explore Mars, paving the way for settlers to come, as Earth's resources are tapped and the planet is dying. Mars is a hostile planet where joining forces with friends increases efficiency, and invites trade and barter to develop a habitable and customizable ecosystem.
ROKH is available for PC via Steam Early Access. If you want in on the colonization action, you can do so for $24.99.
Operation Babel: New Tokyo Legacy
When a mysterious object – dubbed 'the Embryo' – appears in the sky, the CPA and the Xth Squad are mobilized to face the new threat. Venture into challenging new labyrinths and create the perfect team to challenge each threat. Featuring a mysterious new story, unprecedented character customization through the new 'Sub-Blood' system, and item-based character ability modifications, Operation Babel: New Tokyo Legacy will give you a world to lose yourself in.

Nintendo Switch Owners itching to get their hands on this title can head to the Nintendo eShop starting May 16 to download the demo.
Once again we have both home and theatrical releases to look forward to in this week's crop.

Gangsta: The Complete Series
In a city filled with sin and scandal, the charming Worick and powerful Nicolas have made names for themselves as men who can get even the dirtiest of jobs done. Working independently, taking jobs from both the mafia and police, these unique Handymen navigate the seedy underworld of Ergastulum in style, leaving a trail of chaos behind them.
An awesome manga that translated well to anime last year. Definitely something to check out if you have never seen it.
Ajin (Slick's Pick of the Week)
The first season of an an amazing story. Ajin are born just like any normal human and live an oblivious life until the day they die. And then they come back. Protagonist Kei lived a normal boring life until he got run over by a truck. Several of his classmates saw the gruesome scene so you can imagine their horror when he got back up.
Ajin are persecuted by government shadow organizations that repeatedly kill them in order to try and unlock the secret of their immortality. A man named Satou begins a militant Ajin movement against the Japanese government. His goal is to have them publicly acknowledge the torture of his kind and obtain rights for Ajin. He is willing to go to any lengths to achieve this. Can Kei stop his destructive rampage?
The direct sequel to Prometheus promises what that film lacked: The Xenomorph. Previous titles have always given a clue as to how many monsters were in the film. If that is any indicator, the crew will deal with one. Answers will (hopefully) be revealed with regards to the end of Prometheus and you know that R.A.G.E. Works will have a review for you sooner rather than later.

Should View From The Wing Be Shut Down?
W hen I accidentally stumbled upon this article from the editors of Yahoo! Travel and then read it, my first reaction is that the View From The Wing weblog should perhaps be shut down or — at the very least — it should have its name changed.
My reason for this is because the name has already been in use for many years by this View From The Wing weblog, which is authored by Gary Leff.
Confused? So was I at first.
The lesser-known View From The Wing weblog — which has apparently existed at least since August 6, 2013; although there seems to be very little information available about it — simply highlights photographs posted by readers with views from their window seats during flights.
This is not the first time a weblog has had a similar name to View From The Wing. The Tarmac — now defunct — was a weblog authored by Gerry Wingenbach over at FlyerTalk. Its original name was The Wing; and the original headline for this first article posted on Monday, January 21, 2013 for the weblog was titled A Sweeping View From The Wing. Because the title of the article — as well as the name of the weblog itself — was too similar to View From The Wing, the name was eventually changed to The Tarmac; and the title of that article was changed to Introducing a Sweeping New Column.
Before The Tarmac was launched, Gerry Wingenbach occasionally wrote articles for The Gate over at FlyerTalk from September 20, 2012 through January 18, 2013.
Wait a minute: you thought that I was advocating that the original View From The Wing featuring Gary Leff should be shut down?!? I would never campaign for that to happen. In order for that to be done, you would have to get past The Gate first…

One thought on "Should View From The Wing Be Shut Down?"
im sick of your clickbait titles and the complete lack of meaningful content on this blog. It is my humble opinion that The Gate with Brian Cohen be shut down.
What are you contributing? Seriously.

The world is mobile today. Most people are searching on Google using a mobile device. The desktop version of a site might be difficult to view and use on a mobile device. As a result, having a mobile ready site is critical to your online presence. In fact, starting in late 2016, Google has begun experiments to primarily use the mobile version of a site's content42 for ranking, parsing structured data, and generating snippets.
Unlike most offline marketing efforts, digital marketing allows marketers to see accurate results in real time. If you've ever put an advert in a newspaper, you'll know how difficult it is to estimate how many people actually flipped to that page and paid attention to your ad. There's no surefire way to know if that ad was responsible for any sales at all.

The truth? Today, rising above the noise and achieving any semblance of visibility has become a monumental undertaking. While we might prevail at searching, we fail at being found. How are we supposed to get notice while swimming in a sea of misinformation and disinformation? We've become immersed in this guru gauntlet where one expert after another is attempting to teach us how we can get the proverbial word out about our businesses and achieve visibility to drive more leads and sales, but we all still seem to be lost.
Black hat SEO attempts to improve rankings in ways that are disapproved of by the search engines, or involve deception. One black hat technique uses hidden text, either as text colored similar to the background, in an invisible div, or positioned off screen. Another method gives a different page depending on whether the page is being requested by a human visitor or a search engine, a technique known as cloaking. Another category sometimes used is grey hat SEO. This is in between black hat and white hat approaches, where the methods employed avoid the site being penalized but do not act in producing the best content for users. Grey hat SEO is entirely focused on improving search engine rankings.
However, if you're going to understand online marketing, you have to understand the importance of building Google's trust. There are three core components involved here. These three core components are like the pillars of trust that comprise all of Google's 200+ ranking factor rules. Each of those rules can be categorized and cataloged into one of these three pillars of trust. If you want to rank on the first page or in the first spot, you need to focus on all three, and not just one or two out of three.
An authority website is a site that is trusted by its users, the industry it operates in, other websites and search engines. Traditionally a link from an authority website is very valuable, as it's seen as a vote of confidence. The more of these you have, and the higher quality content you produce, the more likely your own site will become an authority too.
The leading search engines, such as Google, Bing and Yahoo!, use crawlers to find pages for their algorithmic search results. Pages that are linked from other search engine indexed pages do not need to be submitted because they are found automatically. The Yahoo! Directory and DMOZ, two major directories which closed in 2014 and 2017 respectively, both required manual submission and human editorial review.[40] Google offers Google Search Console, for which an XML Sitemap feed can be created and submitted for free to ensure that all pages are found, especially pages that are not discoverable by automatically following links[41] in addition to their URL submission console.[42] Yahoo! formerly operated a paid submission service that guaranteed crawling for a cost per click;[43] however, this practice was discontinued in 2009.
Balancing search and display for digital display ads are important; marketers tend to look at the last search and attribute all of the effectiveness to this. This then disregards other marketing efforts, which establish brand value within the consumers mind. ComScore determined through drawing on data online, produced by over one hundred multichannel retailers that digital display marketing poses strengths when compared with or positioned alongside, paid search (Whiteside, 2016).[44] This is why it is advised that when someone clicks on a display ad the company opens a landing page, not its home page. A landing page typically has something to draw the customer in to search beyond this page. Things such as free offers that the consumer can obtain through giving the company contact information so that they can use retargeting communication strategies (Square2Marketing, 2012).[45] Commonly marketers see increased sales among people exposed to a search ad. But the fact of how many people you can reach with a display campaign compared to a search campaign should be considered. Multichannel retailers have an increased reach if the display is considered in synergy with search campaigns. Overall both search and display aspects are valued as display campaigns build awareness for the brand so that more people are likely to click on these digital ads when running a search campaign (Whiteside, 2016).[44]
Sharing Curated Links — While using social media for marketing is a great way to leverage your own unique, original content to gain followers, fans, and devotees, it's also an opportunity to link to outside articles as well. If other sources provide great, valuable information you think your target audience will enjoy, don't be shy about linking to them. Curating and linking to outside sources improves trust and reliability, and you may even get some links in return.
Email marketing - Email marketing in comparison to other forms of digital marketing is considered cheap; it is also a way to rapidly communicate a message such as their value proposition to existing or potential customers. Yet this channel of communication may be perceived by recipients to be bothersome and irritating especially to new or potential customers, therefore the success of email marketing is reliant on the language and visual appeal applied. In terms of visual appeal, there are indications that using graphics/visuals that are relevant to the message which is attempting to be sent, yet less visual graphics to be applied with initial emails are more effective in-turn creating a relatively personal feel to the email. In terms of language, the style is the main factor in determining how captivating the email is. Using casual tone invokes a warmer and gentle and inviting feel to the email in comparison to a formal style. For combinations; it's suggested that to maximize effectiveness; using no graphics/visual alongside casual language. In contrast using no visual appeal and a formal language style is seen as the least effective method.[50]
Write a description that would both inform and interest users if they saw your description meta tag as a snippet in a search result. While there's no minimal or maximal length for the text in a description meta tag, we recommend making sure that it's long enough to be fully shown in Search (note that users may see different sized snippets depending on how and where they search), and contains all the relevant information users would need to determine whether the page will be useful and relevant to them.
Another reason is that if you're using an image as a link, the alt text for that image will be treated similarly to the anchor text of a text link. However, we don't recommend using too many images for links in your site's navigation when text links could serve the same purpose. Lastly, optimizing your image filenames and alt text makes it easier for image search projects like Google Image Search to better understand your images.
How Much of this Guide Should You Read? This guide is designed for you to read cover-to-cover. Each new guide builds upon the previous one. A core idea that we want to reinforce is that marketing should be evaluated holistically. What you need to do is this in terms of growth frameworks and systems as opposed to campaigns. Reading this guide from start to finish will help you connect the many moving parts of marketing to your big-picture goal, which is ROI.
Notice that each of these accounts has a consistent voice, tone, and style. Consistency is key to helping your followers understand what to expect from your brand. They'll know why they should continue to follow you and what value they will get from doing so. It also helps keep your branding consistent even when you have multiple people working on your social team.
Video Marketing: YouTube has become the second most popular search engine and a lot of users are turning to YouTube before they make a buying decision, to learn something or just to relax. There are several video marketing platforms, including Facebook Videos, Instagram, Vimeo to use to run a video marketing campaign. Companies find the most success with video by integrating it with SEO, content marketing, and social media marketing campaigns.
Affiliate marketing is the art of marketing products, services or information for others. It doesn't require that you ever house or warehouse a single thing. But it does require that you have an audience to market those things to online. Without that audience, whether it's through search engines like Google or social media channels like Facebook, you'll find a difficult time with affiliate marketing.
It's hard to believe that the Internet is now multiple decades old. Affiliate marketing has been around since the earliest days of online marketing. It's a great solution for businesses that are risk-averse or don't have the budget to spend on upfront marketing costs. Use affiliate marketing to build a new revenue stream for your ecommerce or B2B business. Get Started
While there are several platforms for doing this, clearly YouTube is the most popular for doing this. However, video marketing is also a great form of both content marketing and SEO on its own. It can help to provide visibility for several different ventures, and if the video is valuable enough in its message and content, it will be shared and liked by droves, pushing up the authority of that video through the roof.

A self-proclaimed introvert, Genine LaTrice Perez has a commanding presence on stage and an ability to leave audiences captivated. This single mom to four uses singing as a creative outlet, a source of therapy for herself and inspiration to her children.
Genine Perez's relationship with singing began when she was "discovered" for the first time at age 12. She grew up in Fort Smith singing in her church choir. She had signed up to participate in a local pageant and was too nervous to sing, so she danced to "Let's Hear it for the Boys," and won second runner up. "I was cheesing from ear to ear! The first runner up had an attitude because she thought she should have won, so she told the coordinator she didn't want to go to the state pageant in Little Rock. I got to move up," Perez said.
Genine sang "If You Believe" from "The Wiz" and placed fourth out of 20 girls at the state competition. It was her first time singing solo in public, and she credits that experience as a 12-year-old girl as igniting her passion for singing.
Genine returned to singing in 2000, when she moved to Little Rock. She attended college in Fort Smith after serving in the Air Force, and transferred to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock where she achieved a master's degree in technical writing while raising three young children.
She was working at her full time job at Arkansas for Drug Free Youth when her boss and local drummer David Hoffpauir overheard her signing in the office. "He heard me and said, 'Oh my God, you sing! Let's start a band.' He's my boss, so I'm like OK!," she said.
Genine is now the vocalist for this band, Lagniappe, which performs classic soul and R&B songs. The strength and confidence she would gain from singing with Lagniappe would serve to elevate her to the next level of her singing career, and carry her through the hardest phase of her life.
On Nov. 3, 2016 Genine lost her daughter Olivia in a car accident the day before her 20th birthday. In the midst of her grieving, and barely a month after her daughter's passing, Genine was offered the opportunity to sing at Robinson Center as an opener for Grammy-Award nominated R&B singer Will Downing.
The group, organized for that one event, named themselves "The Sound" and stayed together. The Sound, with Genine, performs contemporary R&B and is working on original music as well.
Throughout her professional and music career—as a single mom Genine also works full time and is an adjunct professional and technical writing instructor at UALR—her kids have been her biggest supporters, and she makes it a point to encourage their creative endeavors as well.
What helps keep you centered/ grounded? Oh, that's easy. My children keep me centered, grounded, focused!
Name three things that are essential to your day-to-day life. Waking up and giving thanks; knowing my children are safe; and being able to be me without reservation.
What's a creative medium you've always wanted to explore? Oh, wow! Music is MY THING. I've always wanted to play an instrument. My all-time favorite instrument is the bass guitar. Oh, my word! I love the sounds that it makes.
What time of the day do you thrive creatively? In the wee hours of the evening is when I explode with creativity.
What/who/where inspires you? In this season, I dedicate every last performance to my biggest fan in heaven, my daughter Olivia. She, along with her siblings, give me the desire to move #FaithForward #Unapologetically.
What are you working on/focusing creative energy on now? My Music. My brand. My Sound. My original music.
How have your children shifted your creative career path? I want them with me MORE is the short answer. I've always kept them engaged, but now more than anything, I want them with me. I don't want to limit what they see, so I want to make sure there is opportunity for my biggest fans to see their momma in action.
Which local resources/galleries/ classes/organizations have helped you on your creative path? All the people and organizations that have invited me to perform have helped me on my creative path. I'm grateful for every opportunity afforded to me. I believe my greatest resources are the people who believe in me and have encouraged me along the way—my mom, family, friends and my amazing fans.


Vix is an artist based in Warwickshire, England.
An ambassador for MS and fibromyalgia who has found a passion for photography & Digital art.
She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) an auto immune disease at the age of 29.
2 years later she was told that the chronic pain & chronic fatigue she was suffering was not only from the MS but she also had Fibromyalgia.
For quality of life Vix had to finish work so to fill her time she picked up her old faithful camera that had been forgotten about for so many years.
She soon learnt how much technology had advanced away from her 32mm SLR Minolta, the ones that you have to put films into! Everything was digital now!
It was the Christmas of 2013 when she was given a Digital camera. The camera had been well researched and provided everything needed for every moment without having to change the lens. This meant that Vix didn't have to worry about carrying extra lenses around or, if she would be able to change the lens due to the MS effecting her grip.
With the help of her Father, John Edwards an excellent photographer & digital artist she learnt & is still learning this wonderful new (to her) world of digital art!
She creates wonderful vibrant images for pleasure from either photos she has taken or as fractal images. You will notice this vibrancy throughout Vix artwork . This is mainly because she can no longer see colours as they should be due to Optic Neuritis, inflammation of the optic nerve caused by the MS. Her art may appear more colourful to yourself then it will to her!

The compelling story of an acclaimed journalist and New York Times bestselling author's ongoing struggle with epilepsy--his torturous decision to keep his condition a secret to avoid discrimination, and his ensuing decades-long battle to not only survive, but to thrive.
Written with brutal and affecting honesty, Kurt Eichenwald, who was diagnosed with epilepsy as a teenager, details the abuses he faced while incapacitated post-seizure, the discrimination he fought that almost cost him his education and employment, and the darkest moments when he contemplated suicide as the only solution to ending his physical and emotional pain. He recounts how medical incompetence would have killed him but for the heroic actions of a brilliant neurologist and the friendship of two young men who assumed part of the burden of his struggle. Ultimately, Eichenwald's is an inspirational tale, showing how a young man facing his own mortality on a daily basis could rise from the depths of despair to the heights of unimagined success.

@lbb59 Aw, I'll be around this fall.


In today's world, we are all connected through technology. We interact with it at home, at work, and even in our downtime. Fitbits monitor our steps, heart rates and sleeping patterns. We read books on tablets and hail rides through apps on our smartphones. Our homes are "smart" with devices that automate lighting, air conditioners and give us our messages as we walk in the door.
Although many industries are also embracing a "connected" landscape, one area that has been slower to embrace this digital transformation is workplace safety. Although a connected, digital safety strategy often seems like a time-intensive endeavor, new technologies are improving site safety by offering real, measurable results in a much shorter time. In fact, the growth of "smart" personal protective equipment (PPE) means that the connectivity offered by the internet of things (IoT) and safety devices used onsite can drive stronger worker engagement. That engagement results in not only lower incident rates, but important data that allows for a greater ability to predict and, therefore, prevent safety incidents.
As construction safety programs embrace digital transformation, they will begin to use IoT to connect not only devices, but the workers themselves through devices that interact with smart PPE and other technologies like sensors. Although many workplaces have begun to implement some of these technologies, safety programs are still failing to connect the most important element—the workers themselves.
But first, let's talk about the state of safety today. Before the introduction of connected safety strategies, addressing safety hazards in the workplace can be a time-consuming process for workers and management. Safety hazards may exist in an environment for an unknown period of time before being recognized by a worker. Once identified, a report is filed and typically sent through a chain of command before action could be taken to address it. This process also has to relayed in detail to each new hire, and reiterated at every safety meeting. In addition, there is time spent reviewing incidents that have already occurred and how they could be prevented in the future.
With digital connectivity and a data-driven safety strategy, the reporting process can occur in real time. At a connected workplace, new workers learn about the communication devices that allow them to report problems immediately, which then enables management to assess and correct situations before an incident can happen. As a result of being an important part of the safety process, workers become much more engaged and empowered, helping to promote a stronger safety culture.
With connected safety programs that provide real-time data, savings can be seen not only in the prevention of incidents, but through critical data that is gathered and analyzed to create stronger safety protocols. When each worker is digitally connected and able to report hazards as they are noticed, problems can be reported in real time and addressed much more quickly.
Today's connected jobsite can process data faster and formulate plans to increase safety going forward. Without a digital safety plan, data must be gathered manually, and the paperwork that's produced must be analyzed.
Connected safety strategies aren't relegated to a certain demographic either. Millennials, as well as seasoned professionals, are embracing this technology as a means to affect positive change. With data-driven safety strategies and the ability to report problems in real time, workers feel a sense of ownership in not just safety strategy, but in their own safety and that of their coworkers.
No matter whether they are true "digital natives" or not, workers engaged in safety in this way typically become much more empowered to create real improvements in the workplace. Workers with the ability to easily and quickly report a problem right away, and subsequently prevent an immediate injury and/or improve the safety of a particular area, become immediately engaged. When workers are equipped with real-time communication devices as part of an overall safety strategy, response time and again to becoming part of the safety solution has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic.
Smart equipment integrated with an IoT software platform creates a safety community, where workers are connected with their environment, safety managers and team—leveraging real-time data and communication tools through the platform.
On a connected jobsite, safety managers can spend their time addressing the problems as they are reported. Access to real-time data from digital dashboards allows them to work efficiently and focus on what's most important: improving workplace safety now as well as in the future.
