Having your finances in order is vital to a long-term piece of mind. When you have your finances in order you walk a little different and you carry an aura of confidence with you, because you know if something should happen to you, your loved ones will be well taken care of. Having a financial plan helps you retire with assurance that your money will last throughout retirement and you can enjoy the fruits of your labor. Below are several tips for getting your financial house in order.
Attempt to maximize retirement savings: One of the best ways to plan for retirement is through your current place of employment. Most likely you have a retirement plan at your job and you should be aware of how much you are contributing and how much your job is matching these funds. The more you can contribute to this plan the better off you will be in the long run. Speak with your human resources professional to see if you are getting the maximum benefits, and if not find out where improvements can be made.
Don't forget about your kids: By far your most prized possession. Kids rely on their parents for just about everything, no matter how old they get. Their views on money comes from their parents, so set a good example. Make sure you have their needs taken care of in the untimely event you are not around to see those special moments in their life (graduations, college, wedding, grand-kids). They will thank you for it in the long run.
Discuss money with loved ones: A major cause of divorce in America is money issues. Don't hide any financial problems from your spouse, as this can cause a negative strain on your marriage, if and when they surface. Be open and honest about any debts you have accumulated over the years and together develop a plan of action for getting your financial house in order.
These are just a few tips you need to pay attention to in 2017. Visit our financial planning tips page for additional tips on planning for your financial future. It is never too early to develop a plan of action to start planning for your future. Don't wait to develop a plan or get the help you need to put your financial house in order.

Q: Greater than 30% outliers in small dataset - what to do? Standard test? Test with outliers removed? Robust statistics? I have a small-sample dataset representing observations from a longitudinal study. My principal interest is in 'change scores' across three parameters (A, B, C). This requires simple paired t-tests. However, applying the median absolute deviation rule, I've found that the change scores for each parameter contains a large number of outliers (30-45%).
This represents a substantial amount of data relative to the full sample, and thus my concern. I have several questions I'd appreciate any comment on:

*

*Is there a rule for when removal of data from outliers is too much (i.e., where outliers represent too great a proportion of the full dataset)?

*How should I proceed with analysis? A regular test with all data? A test with data removed? Or a robust t-test using trimmed means and winsorized variance?

Example figures:
Histogram of Parameter A

Parameter A vs Parameter B

A: Removal of outliers based on simplistic rules without any assessment is generally inappropriate. Any inappropriate removal of outliers is too much and may raise suspicions of scientific misconduct - i.e. that this was done to get a desired result. Of course,  it may be very appropriate to remove outliers that are due to failure of measurement equipment.
If you have too many apparent outliers compared to what you would expect under the distribution you assume, then perhaps you are assuming a distribution that does not suit your problem. What was used for other publications in your field may give you an idea of whether other people have identified some well- suited analysis approach already.

Jimmy Carter: Pres. Trump is president because of Russian meddling
WASHINGTON -- Jimmy Carter is taking a swipe at the legitimacy of Pres. Donald Trump's presidency, saying Russian interference in the 2016 election was responsible for putting Pres. Trump in the White House.
The 94-year-old former U.S. president said Friday that he believes Russia's meddling "if fully investigated would show that Trump didn't actually win the election in 2016." Carter said he believes Pres. Trump "lost the election" and became president "because the Russians interfered on his behalf."
Carter made the remarks during a panel discussion at a retreat in Leesburg, Virginia, for donors to the Carter Center. It was broadcast by CSPAN .
Panel moderator and historian Jon Meacham asked Carter if he believed Pres. Trump was "an illegitimate president."
Carter replied: "Based on what I just said, which I can't retract, I'd say yes."
Sheboygan dispatcher takes 911 call she will not soon forget


that if we're going to ask for a callback when all the globals are notified, we should wait for it before continuing.
We went down a couple or three dead ends on our way to this goal, but eventually we settled on creating an agent responsible for listening to the connection (I called it channel, in the absence of any better ideas) and dispatching (using a handle-message multimethod) to some code appropriate for each kind of message we're receiving.
we handle the "tell me when you're done" requirement with a promise. The get-globals code adds "an unfulfilled promise"::https://github.com/telent/psadan/blob/a54f6d366477c85940d20164d6f5ed279a604fd0/src/psadan/channel.clj#L53 to the callback object it creates, then once it has sent out its messages it derefs the promise , causing it to wait until something delivers the promise. That something is the handle-message implementation for wl_callback, for which, see above.
we were trying to map handle-message onto each of the messages parsed out of the buffer, but not doing anything with the result. Given that map is lazy, this meant our handle-message code was for the most part not being called. Surrounding the map form with a dorun fixed this.

Cabela's Big Game Hunter Review
Review Activision Publishing, Inc. By Dave Flodine, 7 years ago
If you've ever tried one of those pro buck hunter games in the arcade, you know how surprisingly enjoyable hunting games can be. They lure us gamers in with the promise of points and the thrill of the chase. And, let's be honest, it can be quite novel to be shooting something other than humans for a change. Cabela's Big Game Hunter is a hunting sim from Cabela and Activision which provides a wide variety of locales, a host of wild game to shoot, and a decent arsenal of weaponry with w…

Review Frontier Developments Ltd By Dave Flodine, 7 years, 1 month ago
You'd expect the creators of Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 to be able to cook up a decent coaster-based game for the iPhone. Well, that's exactly what Frontier Developments accomplished last year with Coaster Crazy, a free-to-play rollercoaster creation game based around tailoring individual coasters to their patron's needs. Now a year later, the free-to-play aspects have been removed, new challenges have been added, and two whole new areas have been bolted on. As a result, we thought we'd t…

Do you thrive in high pressure situations? I bet your CV says you do. If you genuinely do perform well in high intensity environments, then Chippy might be the game for you. Chippy is a time management game in the style of Diner Dash. You man the fryer in traditional British fish and chip shop.

The Occupant is the latest in a line of Slenderman-inspired survival-horror games. For some inexplicable reason, you find yourself trapped in an abandoned hotel with a creature known as the Occupant. Each stage has you fulfilling a series of tasks before you can move onto the next floor. As you complete these task, the creature is silently stalking the hallways in search of you. Let's make one thing perfectly clear; it's not the jump scares that make The Occupant creepy - rather, it's…
Terraria Review
Review 505 Games (US), Inc. By Dave Flodine, 7 years, 4 months ago
Terraria has been a popular PC title since 2011, only making its way to consoles and iOS this year. Its brand of expansive exploration combined with creation and crafting abilities have has earned it the label "the 2D Minecraft". As it's already well-established as an enjoyable craft-'em-up, our main concern was whether the game had made the leap to the App Store in one piece. The answer: mostly. You start by customising your character's features and inhabiting one of three rand…
Bridgy Jones™ Review
Review EA Chillingo By Dave Flodine, 7 years, 7 months ago
The following is a public service announcement: Those with no grasp of physics or basic engineering (like Dave who, wrote this review) will probably not get the most out of a game like Bridgy Jones. Of course, this isn't to say that it's not a good game.

In this case, you're throwing up improvised structures to get y…

Star Command Review
Review Star Command, LLC By Dave Flodine, 7 years, 8 months ago
Star Command has been on the radar for a few years now, being the result of two kickstarter campaigns (one before Double Fine made crowd-sourcing mainstream), and a lot of ambitious ideas. The game that has been released is a small section of the developers' original vision, and what was supposed to be a grand entry into the mobile 4x genre plays like an interesting take on games like Faster Than Light. Even though we're dealing with a smaller scope here, there's still a great experien…

ZEN Studios are digital craftsmen of dream-like virtual pinball machines and the idea of them creating not just one, but three Star Wars themed tables was like a dream come true. While you could pick up these boards as DLC for ZEN Pinball, the standalone App gives you a chance to participate in a Rebel vs. Empire 'metagame', and I couldn't give up the opportunity to bring balance to the force... via the dark side. Your initial purchase will unlock Star Wars Episode V, with The Clone W…
Kingpin Lanes Review
Review Speedbump By Andrew Nesvadba, 7 years, 10 months ago
This is our third time out playing a game from Speedbump Studios and the developer is starting to show a distinctive theme throughout them all. Kingpin Lanes may be a fairly simple and arcade-ish ten pin bowling title, but it's married to a free-roaming, interactive world, engaging the player in a way few other games would even attempt to try. Think of your character as a living, breathing individual who enjoys visiting the local lanes to make a little bit of extra cash by wagering on…
Melodive Review
Review GameClub By Dave Flodine, 7 years, 10 months ago
As the medium matures, discussions about what constitutes a game or not are getting more prominent, as the traditional tropes of win states, lose states, and game mechanics get overshadowed or left behind by narrative and audio/visual experiences. This new balancing of how some games are put together, and what they elicit from their players will continue as more and more games like Melodive are released. There is a high score game hidden in what this title offers, but the mechanics and…
Solar 2 iPad Review
Review Jay Watts By Andrew Nesvadba, 7 years, 11 months ago
Situations like this aren't as common as you'd think on the App Store. While there is a somewhat sinister undercurrent of releases that step over the line of 'inspired by' and in to 'theft', being able to play the 'real thing' doesn't always happen; at least not as quickly as this. Solar 2 by Jay Watts (also known as Murudai) is everything I had hoped to see from the recently released 'Tiny Solar'. No prizes for guessing that Solar 2 was the title having its content stolen. Ultimately…
After Burner Climax Review
Review SEGA By Andrew Nesvadba, 7 years, 11 months ago
I'll readily admit that I have next to no idea what I'm doing when I play After Burner. In just about every instance I've simply done the best I can and never sweated the details. After Burner Climax was designed to punish such 'casual' mindsets - it was, after all, an Arcade title - but the iOS release has a leniency to it that actually makes the chaos more of an amusing distraction than a brutal smokescreen for the unrelenting enemy. Whether you jump in with the touch or tilt based…
Pixel People Review
Review EA Chillingo By Dave Flodine, 7 years, 11 months ago
Earth, gone. The human race, pretty much destroyed. Send in the clones! It's time to repopulate the species among the stars; to create a clone based utopia. First up, let us preface this review with a warning. This is a true freemium title. Many of the actions in this game take time to complete (up to a few minutes worth). All the time based actions can be sped up by using the utopium resource which is the in-app currency. Despite this, Pixel People strives to give you things to do so…
Tiny Solar Review
Review 6Nice Studio By Andrew Nesvadba, 7 years, 11 months ago
Editor's Note: It behooves us to acknowledge the source material for this game and the blatancy with which it attempts to not only copy the mechanics, but also the utter failure of its execution. For more information, check out 'Solar 2' here. Sometimes a game piques my interest, if for no other reason than it fascinates me. Tiny Solar by 6Nice Studio was one such game - whirling stars, planets, and asteroids had me wondering just what was going on; especially when the planets started…

October the 7th we trained six new carers for various areas, North, Mfuleni and Vredenburg. Joining us was our second male carer Marco Charles who did his practical for fundraising in 2013 with Iris House and has clearly not forgotten us. What as also very special about the training was the fact to that we trained three Mfuleni Mom's who themselves have special needs children. It is a long term goal for Iris House to not only empower people in the community but also where possible to up lift our parents. The group will now undergo training in the field under senior carers plus their level one first aid, they will then receive their care bags, toy boxes and uniforms. We would like to welcome the new carers and hope they enjoy their work with Iris House.

La Torre Ottagonale è un'antica torre medioevale della città di Chivasso in Piemonte.

Storia
La torre rappresenta l'unica parte superstite di un castello eretto nel 1178 da Guglielmo IV degli Aleramici, marchese del Monferrato.

A partire dal XV secolo la torre venne ulteriormente innalzata di diversi metri con un'aggiunta in laterizi. Questa venne demolita nel secolo scorso contestualmente alla rimozione di alcune altre strutture residue del castello per permettere l'apertura dell'attuale via Po.

Descrizione
La torre, situata in pieno centro cittadino, è oggi alta circa 20 metri. La copertura è frutto di una recente opera di restauro.

La struttura presenta esternamente un rivestimento in blocchi di pietra calcarea e internamente un paramento murario in laterizi culminante in una volta a padiglione a otto spicchi.

Sul lato settentrionale e su quello meridionale, a circa 8 metri d'altezza sul livello stradale due porte permettono l'accesso alla torre: anticamente queste erano accessibili grazie ad alte scale in legno che potevano essere rimosse per ragioni difensive. L'interno era invece suddiviso in almeno tre livelli pavimentati in legno, così come fanno ipotizzare i livelli delle mensole.

When I first started to step up my skincare regime I researched a lot of brands to try. At that time I was only washing my face once a day in the morning whilst in the shower and occasionally I'd add in a manual scrub and wash off mask. The facial cleanser I would use was whatever I picked up at the grocery store. I know shocking right?!
After looking high and low and reading numerous reviews I came across Mario Badescu. I read lots of great reviews about multiple products by this brand. The brand is fairly affordable, so away I went and I purchased a few products.
The first product I purchased was the SPF30 moisturiser for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I needed something with SPF. During my research I had my eyes opened to why SPF is important and I needed it yesterday. Secondly, I had started to use glycolic acid products and there is no choice here but to use SPF.
This is a lightweight, oil free moisturiser that is made to give you hydration and daily spectrum protection. It also contains Green Tea Extract.
Why is Green Tea Extract good for you?
It's an antioxidant that helps defend against the harmful free radicals known to prematurely age skin and darken any existing areas of discoloration (like acne marks, age spots, sun spots).
You can see in the picture above the list of ingredients in this moisturiser.
Mario Badescu brought European type facials to New York and started the first salon from his apartment in New York 1967.
There is a salon in NYC where you could go and get a customised skincare regime. You can find out more about the company by clicking here.
You can find products to help with acne to anti-aging solutions to hair and body care products. Basically something for everyone.
The bottle is squeezable and the product is dispensed by a flip out lid applicator. It's fairly easy to get the product out.
Mario Badescu products are known for having very basic, no fancy packaging. This contributes to providing affordable products. Don't be fooled though, just because the packaging isn't anything fancy, doesn't mean the product inside is basic.
When the product comes out it's a slight green colour , there may be a slight overcast but it'll end up absorbsing into the skin.
After cleansing and toning, apply daily all over face eye area. You can re-apply throughout the day to help maintain protection. If you happen to go to the gym or for a swim you'll need to re-apply. It can be used under makeup or alone, I don't wear makeup so I can't exactly say how it'd work. I use it on it's own.
I was very unsatisfied with this product. It would leave me so much more oily and shiny. My skin did not like this one bit, it wasn't enjoyable. I hated using this moisturiser and ended up throwing it away shortly after trying for about 3 weeks.
In my experience with using SPF moisturisers they can leave me a bit shiny or oily depending on how much I use. I really tried and tested using smaller amounts of this moisturiser and still no luck.
I now use another moisturiser that's SPF 50 and it works like a charm.
No, I wouldn't buy this product again. I do however have a good chunk of other Mario Badescu products to try and I will eventually review in the future.
I'm a little bummed about not having a great experience with this product because it doesn't motivate me to use the other products I have. This was the first product from the line I ever used. I just have to remember to keep an open mind about using the other products and give them a fair chance.
I purchased this from Beauty Bay for $34.
I'd love to hear if you have tried this product or brand and any recommendation you have. Please leave your comment below.


While there are many very, very talented women shooters, it's still a bit unusual to see many ladies on a long-range firing line. It's even more unusual to find a women shooter who regularly beats all the "good ol' boys". This week we feature Katy from California, who competes in Varmint Silhouette matches with a very stylish and accurate Stolle 6BR. Along with husband/spotter/factotum Don (who shoots a 6mm Dasher), she is one of "Top Guns" at the popular Pala range in North San Diego County.
Near the Indian Casino and Resort in Pala, California is one of the longest rifle ranges in the state. Every weekend Pala hosts one or more shooting matches–cowboy action, lever action silhouette, black powder silhouette, hi-power silhouette, tactical pistol and rifle matches, to name a few. The black powder buffalo and tactical rifle matches use the longest range with 900-meter targets. Katy and her husband Don compete in Varmint Rifle Silhouette matches, shot on the first Sunday of every month. Range Info: NCSAPala.com. Map and Directions: Pala Map.
For Katy and Don, shooting is a family affair: "I started shooting the varmint rifle silhouette at the encouragement of husband Don. He bought/built himself a 6mm BR to shoot the varmint rifle match and re-barreled an old Hart-sleeved Remington 700 to fast-twist .223 for me to use. I did pretty well for a beginner, winning a match after just a few months of competition. Winning with that .223 had competitors scratching their heads. Frankly, it was just a fortuitous combination of great spotter, steady hold, and a good rifle. That .223 was certainly a very accurate piece. I always expected the bullet would hit right where the rifle was aimed, if we called the wind right. But like all good things, with time the .223's accuracy began to fade. As the barrel finally gave up the ghost, a replacement was ready–a bright red Panda bear chambered in 6mm BR.
With my old .223, I won five varmint matches between December 2000 and April 2002. I also won my class (Master) in June, 2001. However, with the 6BR Panda, I shoot higher scores and have now had four match wins between May, 2003 and August 2004. And I won my class twice in 2003. Over time, as our competitors' skills and firearms have improved, the criteria for shooter classification has been upgraded. Originally, one could miss 10% of the animals and qualify as a "Master" shooter. A few years ago, the criteria was tightened to 5% misses to earn "Master" status. This 6mm BR has kept me up in Master class.
We all know women can be crack shots. The little lady in the picture proved that more than a century ago. Competitive shooting is one of the few sports where women can and do compete head-to-head with men–and often win. For example, Specialist Liana Bombardier, of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, recently captured the U.S. National Long-range Service Rifle Championship at Camp Perry. So, we have the skills. But the fact remains shooting is still very much a male-dominated sport. Here are some of my thoughts on how that might change.
The first and most important benefit of competitive shooting is learning to handle a rifle/firearm safely. We're well past the time when women should have conquered their fears of guns. An added benefit would be increasing a woman's ability to respond to any threats. I remember when I was in college and we took my anti-gun roommate out to the range for a shooting lesson. She had a great time shooting away. She learned that firearms are not just "scary", but also an enjoyable tool.
Since we aren't going to get the silencer legislation changed to improve women's enjoyment of the sport, we will have to promote other aspects of shooting. I think shooting sports can increase self-confidence, giving women a sense of accomplishment and inner strength to remain calm under stress. It is very satisfying to see a positive result (at very long distance) of your focused efforts. Developing skill at any sport can improve one's self-image and coordination. Encourage the women in your life to join you at the range. Believe it or not fellows, your wives and girl friends like to spend time with you. At Pala, some of the wives make the best spotters, even though they don't shoot.
I find these varmint silhouette matches ideal from the standpoint of a woman's participation. First, you get to lay down and shoot–that's much more relaxed than classic position-shooting. Second, the really heavy rifle is supported on front and rear rests so that all you need to do is carefully guide the rifle, concentrate on the sight picture and pull the trigger when everything lines up. And, by the way, I clean house and prepare the meals, while my husband Don cleans the rifles and prepares the ammunition.
The first thing a women notices at the range is how much noise these rifles make. How can anyone carry on a decent conversation, much less think with all the racket? Practice days are the worst–there is just constant gunfire with very few ceasefires. Matches are fine, because there is only gunfire during warm-up and then for 8 minutes during each relay. On the firing line, I wear both fitted earplugs and ear muffs to tolerate the decibels. Being heard and understood is always a problem during the match.
One of my fellow female shooters commented that, at the range, the guys never seem to talk about anything but firearms and their accouterments at the range. Although I am familiar with the term "minutes of angle" I have gotten sloppy in my speech and generally just report how many clicks one needs to adjust for the wind or the sighter shot. Reading Don's equipment discussion confused me when he kept referring to MOA. I have been with non-shooting friends several times when knowledgeable shooters start talking firearms. It is as if they are speaking a different language, and my friends look to me with a puzzlement on their faces. Well, in fact it has its own language and I think I'm getting finally getting able to speak it.
Way back in 1990 a Precision Shooting magazine "Trading Post" advertisement offered a low-mileage, Panda-actioned .262″ neck, 6mm BR rifle and all the reloading accouterments. This light-varmint class rifle was built in the mid-1980's around an unusual round Panda action with straight-fluted bolt. As configured, the gun had performed very well indeed–shooting many groups in the zeros. The action is glued into a Lee Six thumbhole BR stock and uses externally accessible pins to hang the 3 oz. trigger. The scope is an older 36X Leupold BR model, held by Kelbly rings on a Davidson base. The original barrel was a 4-groove, 14-twist, apparently made by Pat McMillan. A hand-written information tag taped to the underside of the barrel was discovered upon its removal, and indicates the barrel was fitted by JACO, April 1986. Anyone know who that is?
The 14-twist barrel could not stabilize any bullets greater than about 80 grains. It would keep an 80-grain Starke inside 0.4″ at 200m with a velocity of 3120 fps using 31.8 grains of Varget. However, the 80-grain bullets were blown all over by the winds out to 500 meters.
Past success with Pac-Nor pre-fit barrels inspired me to order a 28″, 4-groove, 8.6″-twist barrel chambered with their .262" neck 6mm BR reamer. Pac-Nor crowned and chambered the barrel; and, in this case, threaded it to fit a Panda action. After we installed the barrel on the action, we found that the bolt nose touched the conical barrel breech face. 0.010" needed to be removed from the cone face so that the bolt closed with a perfect fit. Headspace is now just right at 1.167″.
My experience with a couple of other fast-twist 6BRs, one also chambered with Pac-Nor's .262″ reamer, suggested that the 95gr Berger VLDs would work well the estimated 0.060″ freebore in Katy's rifle. The goal was to get 2800-2900 fps velocity with inherent accuracy no worse than half the smallest silhouette size. That meant we needed a load that delivered repeatable 0.4 MOA accuracy or better.
A new batch of Lapua 6mm Norma BR brass was neck-turned to 0.0083″ wall thickness to fit the chamber and fire-formed during barrel break-in, following Pac-Nor's guidelines. We tried a bunch of different moly-coated bullets at 200 meters, most with moderate charges of H322. The results of the bullet-testing ranged from poor (over an inch) to astonishing (68-grain, flat-base Eubers over 29.7 grains of H322 went into about .25″ at 200 meters!) But these Flat-based bullets lacked the high ballistic coefficient we wanted for the varmint silhouette match. So we tried the 95-grain VLD Bergers (0.5+ BC) and produced several good loads, all sparked by Federal 205m primers. The best load seemed to be 28.2 grains H322 at 2860 fps, followed by 30.4 grains N135 at 2920fps, and 31.0 grains of Varget at 2890 fps.
All loads shot better than 0.4 MOA, but the H322 seemed a little more accurate, and about twice as much H322 was on hand. So, after about 120 shots the barrel was conditioned, brass formed and a match load selected for the 95 VLD Bergers. Bullets are seated about 0.010″ into the rifling for a typical cartridge LOA of 2.325", which puts the heel of the 95 VLD boat-tail just below the case neck-shoulder line. Cases are sized with a Wilson neck bushing die that works only the upper 2/3 of the case neck to support the bearing surface of the seated bullet.
To date, the original lot of 100 cases has been fired and reloaded about 16 times with no failure of any sort, no loose primer pockets, and fairly uniform neck tension. Occasionally, Katy will get a slightly stiff bolt lift or extraction. That invariably turns out to be enlargement of the case shoulder diameter, not a headspace problem. A quick pass in a full-length die solves the problem and can be used to bump the headspace too. Routine reloading consists of tumbling the brass in corn-cob media to clean the case neck exteriors. Sizing and de-priming is done with the Wilson neck die fitted to a Lyman 310 tong-tool. Primer pockets are cleaned with a Dewey Crocogator (nothing is better), hand primed by either a Lee or Sinclair tool, and charged with weighed amounts of H322. Molyed bullets are seated using a Hornady micrometer seater with a sliding sleeve.
Firearms are limited to field-portable, varmint-caliber rifles in either custom or factory class, and having a maximum 6.5 mm bore, but bullets must weigh no more than 107 grains. All firing is done prone using any front rest and bag rear. These, and other local matches are open to the public. Check out the range website at: NCSAPala.com.
After a few matches it was clear that an accurate rifle firing a wind-bucking bullet was needed to consistently connect with steel. Early on, fast-twist .223s which could stabilize Sierra 77gr and 80gr bullets had some success. Other shooters were using various 6mm cartridges to good effect. The selection of VLD bullets for the 6mm bore and enthusiastic "Precision Shooting" articles on 105/107 grain bullets in the 6mm BR by the late Rodger Johnson and Pat Gamman inspired the re-barreling of short-range Benchrest rifles to fast-twist 6mm BRs or 6BR improved. This is now the cartridge to beat, though one shooter is very successful with a 6mm Remington, and the 6.5-284 can be very competitive..
Matches are fired as a team–shooter and spotter. The course of fire typically consists of 10 steel, knock-down varmint animal targets at each of the four distances. A relay or distance is usually shot in two, 4-minute sessions of 6 rounds–one round fired at each of 5 targets plus one sighting shot per session. After firing a sighter, targets are taken from left to right, one shot per target. Missed targets remain standing. Additional sighters can be taken at the expense of "missing" the next target in sequence. Any target struck out of sequence is also a "miss". The shooter's objective is to sequentially knock-off (clean) all 10 targets. The spotter's duties are to support the shooter in all aspects of shot preparation. First and foremost, the spotter tries to see each shot impact and call appropriate windage and elevation adjustments for the shooter. In shifty conditions, a good spotter is vital.
Let's start at the beginning. Before the match there is usually an opportunity to fire a few fouling shots and check sight settings for load and distance. An initial read on conditions–mostly wind direction, strength and consistency–is also made. The spotter should checklist the shooter to make sure they are set up for the relay distance and have adjusted their sights to the correct elevation and windage. It could be argued that for the shooter, the first shot at a given distance, the sighter shot, is the most important shot fired. Since the sighter targets are fixed (don't knock off) and freshly painted, bullet impact is obvious to both shooter and spotter. If the bullet hits where expected–point of aim–the spotter then tracks and calls observed changes (mostly wind) relative to the shooter's initial scope settings. If point of impact shifts on subsequent record targets or the shooter misses, appropriate sight adjustments are recommended to the shooter. Admittedly, it is sometimes difficult or impossible to see the point of impact on these small, reactive targets. However, an estimate of bullet strike can be made from target behavior such as rotation and/or impact trajectory.
At our Varmint Silhouette matches, moly-coated bullets seem to offer a couple of advantages. First, moly helps control barrel fouling, allowing more rounds between cleaning. A minimum of 50 to 70 shots are fired per Varmint Silhouette match, depending on pre-match sighters. So, a full course of fire can be shot uninterrupted by cleaning, with confidence that barrel fouling isn't a problem. Secondly, the slippery coating provides a consistent interface between bullet and case-neck without having to meticulously clean case-neck interiors. With moly, the amount of friction between bullet and case neck of your loaded rounds remains consistent for long periods. The moly coating does not bond to the neck interior.
Katy tells us: "Don and I are avocado farmers. Occasionally, we'd bring a few avocados to the range to give to the other shooters. Then in 2002-03, a Mexican fruit fly quarantine was declared for portions of San Diego County including our farm. The Quarantine allowed transport of processed fruit, but no fresh fruit could leave the restricted zone. The problem was that we had a bumper crop and limbs were so overloaded with fruit they would occasionally break, leaving us with lots of fruit. The quarantine started in November '02. In January '03 southern California had one of its Santa Ana windstorms that blew down hundreds of pounds of our fruit crop (and part of the roof) off onto the ground. So, I made a huge batch of guacamole for the Varmint Silhouette match.
All of the above quantities can be adjusted for taste. Mash the ingredients with a potato masher. Serve with chips, fresh vegetables (carrot sticks, celery, broccoli), or as garnish for tacos, burritos, taquitos, etc., and as special treat – spread on warm buttered toast for breakfast.

You can also see it demonstrated in the recent VS Live presentation at: https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Visual-Studio/Visual-Studio-Live-Redmond-2016/W15, where I show a sneak preview of the guidelines at ~1h:07 into the talk.
I'd love to hear from supporters on how the preview looks and whether it's meeting your needs; please drop me a line here on this UV item or directly at mwthomas at Microsoft dot com with your feedback!
Please review the recent VS Live presentation at: https://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Visual-Studio/Visual-Studio-Live-Redmond-2016/W15. We demonstrate a sneak preview of the guidelines at ~1h:07 into the talk.
Thank you for using Visual Studio and for your commitment to improving it. We are currently evaluating whether we will be able to include this into the product in a future release.
In the meantime, as some commenters have noted, you can get this capability for some languages by trying the Productivity Power Tools' Structure Visualizer feature (https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/34ebc6a2-2777-421d-8914-e29c1dfa7f5d ) – let us know if you like it!
Is there a way to have structure guidelines for HTML tags when editing views? Indent works fine, but it would be nice to see the link between an opening and closing DIV tag for example.
Productivity Power Tools 2015 rocks. Give it a try. And it has additional visual features you may never thought of, which come in very handy and makes coding a little more satisfying.
Now, I wish I could edit the colors of the indent guides.
@Mark Wilson-Thomas: please, if you are part of it, make it more discreet and somehow put it "beneath" the code cause the indent guides currently overlaps the code with Whitesmiths indentation style. Meanwhile I'll use the non-aware one since I can't code but in Whitesmiths style and keep Productivity Power Tools 2015 for Visual Studio related features like... everything else.
Actually, could someone at Microsoft tell whomever is in charge of notepad to get rid of "Notepad" as a whole, and replace with "Notepad++". While we are at it, why WordPad too? I don't know anyone who has EVER used it.
I prefer language-aware structure visualizer. Also in VS preview 5 i cannot see this feature yet? Should be there?
This is hilarious. This already exists as a Microsoft Extension in all versions of Visual Studio since 2010. It is part of the "Productivity Power Tools <version>".
@Mark Wilson-Thomas My vote goes to start with a basic one, and then extend it.
Thanks for the input @xyz . Do others subscribed here feel the same way as @xyz does, that it's very valuable to see different colors for different kinds of block?
As noted above, we're looking at what we can include in the product in future releases.
which is aware of block structure within a language and shows vertical lines based on that structure?
We suspect that the language structure aware visualization is probably the more useful one, but want to hear your views.
The free Indent Guides extension (among others that offer the same capabilities) has been available for years, works fine with Visual Studio 2012 - 2015.


Marta was one of EGCH's first kids. She is the youngest from a very large family. In 2007, at the age of four, all girls from her tribe go through a special ceremonial process. Marta's mom attempted to get her to the ceremony, however, because it was during the rainy season, the river became too deep to cross. Her absence, kept her from participating, and meant that she was now considered cursed by her tribe. In February 2010, after being kept hidden for four years, her mother brought her to EGCH. Marta has a big smile, and quiet disposition. Marta attends elementary school in Hawassa.

Limerick Docklands Plan
Masterplan Press & Media
N69 Road Upgrade
SFPC Masterplan
The River Shannon divides Ireland practically in two and dominates the midlands landscape, acting as a formidable barrier to movement from East to West while providing a marine highway from North to South. It is the longest river in both Ireland and Britain (measuring 344km from its source to Loop Head where it meets the Atlantic Ocean), and has influenced the military, social and economic history of Ireland for centuries.
In his 1st century map of North West Europe, the Roman cartographer Ptolemy described the Shannon as "Senus". It is also believed by some authorities that "Regia" in Ptolemy's map refers to the site of the present city of Limerick.
The region around the estuary of the river was already being called "Luimneach" in the 3rd century BC when the ancient annals tell of a battle in the area, and the "Book of Leinster" reports the epic hero Cuchullin pointing out the features of the country to this tutor, indicating "the river Luimneach is that bright river that thou seest".
The Luimneach area was visited by St Patrick in the 5th century, but the name was not applied to the centre of population until the Vikings launched attacks on the county in the 9th century, sailing up the Shannon Estuary and finding suitable berthage for their long ships at an island in the estuary ("Inis Sibhinn", later called "King's Island"). They returned in numbers to establish a fortified settlement – which became the origins of Limerick City.
The Vikings used the river to both conquest and trade. The Luimneach settlement became an international trading centre, and there is evidence that the Vikings traded regularly with Iceland.
The Normans invaded Ireland in the 12th century and took possession of the city of Limerick in 1175, valuing the port as a source of revenue. A century later, King John visited Limerick and ordered the building of the fortress known as "King John's Castle" (marked in red in map at right) which stood sentinel on the edge of the river as strategic defence commanding approaches along the river or across Thurmond Bridge (marked in green) – this was also built by order of King John, and having been rebuilt last in 1845, survives to the present day.
As the city of Limerick grew in importance, so did the port. In medieval times, Limerick conducted increased seaborne trade with England, France and Spain. Initially the port was located where the Abbey River joins the Shannon, at the south west end of King's Island, and consisted of an open basin or dock with some quays adjacent to the site of the present-day Potato Market. During the refurbishment of the market in 1984, the walls of the medieval "Long Dock" were uncovered.
The introduction of regulations and restrictions on trade and navigation severely affected the City's commerce during the 13th and 14th centuries. However, in 1400 when ports were going through a difficult time, Limerick figured among the more prosperous ports in Ireland, becoming known as "Luimneach na Luinge" ("Limerick of the Ships").
Trade improved in the 17th century when constraints imposed during the Elizabethan wars were lifted. In the reign of James 1st, Limerick was granted a Royal Charter in 1609, giving the Mayor and Sheriff of Limerick authority over the Shannon estuary, extending into the counties of Limerick and Clare to the sea and including the island of "Inis Cattery" (now Scattery Island).
1750 to 1840 has been described as the "climax of the town's position as a great centre of commerce" and rapid expansion occurred. The city began to extend from its traditional island location and to develop westward from the Abbey River. George's Quay and Lock Quay were constructed, and the Custom House, City Court House and Sir Harry's Mall were built. Streets and squares were developed as the showpiece of the new city, and the port spread downstream with the construction of Arthur's, Honan's and Mead's quays. The port of Limerick also linked to the east coast through the inland Shannon Navigation on the completion of the Grand Canal in 1804.
The Limerick Chamber of Commerce was formally established under Royal Charter granted in 1815, and assumed control over pilotage in the River Shannon. The Chamber actively pursued the case for improved land and sea access, and regarded the City as a strategic location and major trading centre. A petition was made to King George IV for a floating dock and a new bridge for the City, and these were enacted in legislation in 1823, which established the Limerick Bridge Commissioners with powers to make by-laws for the regulation of the harbour, to license pilots within the port and harbour, to construct a "wet" dock, and to construct and regulate the operation of the new bridge. The "Wellesley Bridge" (now Sarsfield Bridge) was completed in 1835. The construction of the quays on the north and south sides of the river was completed in 1840. From the Limerick Bridge Commissioners' renaming to the Limerick Harbour Commissioners in 1847 until the end of the 19th century, one of their main preoccupations was the construction of the Floating Dock.. The foundation stone for the new dock was laid in 1849 and the dock was completed in 1853, some 30 years after the project was first mooted. A new dock gate and entrance, to facilitate the increasing size of vessels, was completed in 1955.
Foynes
Foynes Harbour was first surveyed in 1837 and was identified as a potential port development location. The initial substantial works were carried out in 1846, with the construction of a masonry wharf 83m long and 12m wide, in the location now known as the West Quay. This wall is still in place at berth 1.
The Shannon Act 1885, an Act of Parliament in the reign of Queen Victoria, was passed to transfer the operation, control and ownership of Foynes Harbour from the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland. The Foynes Harbour Trustees were established in 1890. The Trustees proceeded immediately to construct a timber jetty extending Northwards from the Masonry Quay. In 1915 the Trustees constructed a concrete Eastern Spur parallel to the Masonry Quay.
In 1933, the Trustees acquired a Foreshore Lease from the State in order to construct a new jetty extending Northwards from the existing West and East Spurs, and completed this concrete piled structure in 1936. This was designed to cater for 8,000 ton vessels with maximum draft of 7.6m. In 1968 the Trustees constructed the East Jetty under Foreshore Licence; this was principally for the provision of a berth to service ore exports and included a conveyor and loading arm.
In 1984, the East Jetty was extended Westwards to cater for the growing number of ships calling at the Harbour. A dedicated Oil Dolphin facility was constructed in 1992 and provided a berth for oil and chemical tankers. The new West Quay was completed in 1999.
Other Estuary Terminals
There are three user-owned terminals on the Estuary. The jetty at Tarbert was commissioned in 1969 to serve the oil-fuelled power station constructed there. It is planned to convert the generating station to gas but fuel storage facilities are being maintained by the National Oil Reserves Agency (NORA). Across the Estuary from Tarbert, on the County Clare side, lies Money point terminal, a dedicated facility for coal used to fuel the ESB-owned generating station on site. The plant went into full production during 1987. Close to Foynes, at Aughinish Island, the jetty dedicated to bauxite and alumina cargoes was constructed to serve the alumina producing plant which went into production in 1983.
The SFPC terminal adjacent to Shannon airport was commissioned in 1973 to service aviation fuel imports

Mysterious extraterrestrial radio signals
By krazytrs on 30 September, 2017 Space
They are not new and for decades have been reported and collected numerous radio signals. These signals were supposed to have extraterrestrial origin. But over time and the evolution of technology, many of these signals were identified as terrestrial, one of the funniest examples, was the "extraterrestrial signal of the microwave" that for 17 years intrigued the Australian astronomers and only in 2015 its true provenance was discovered.
However, there are several rapid radio bursts, mysterious and potential "extraterrestrial signals", which are not accompanied by neutrino flows, and these are truly intriguing astronomers. These enigmatic bursts are explained in an article published in the Astrophysical Journal.
A relatively short time ago, scientists were able to find traces of nine eruptions similar to that of 2007, whose study revealed that they could be of artificial origin, not being altogether excluded, the possibility of being signs of extraterrestrial civilizations, also due to the periodicity of their structure.
More recently, some astrophysicists have discovered that FRB signals are repetitive, thus finding other extraordinary properties of the same, incompatible with the natural origin versions of the eruptions.
Vandenbroucke and his colleagues observed the eruptions with the IceCube neutrino telescope at the South Pole and found new evidence that black holes and strong star explosions cannot give rise to these puzzling radio signals.
"In making observations, the scientists relied on a simple principle – most" space explosions" are accompanied by large neutrino emissions. In this way, if the FRB bursts originated naturally, they would be accompanied by a neutrino flux of equal force.
In none of the cases, the special radar detected traces of these "always-escaping" particles (neutrino). This has proven that gamma-ray eruptions, supernovae, and black holes cannot be the sources of these "extraterrestrial signals".
In turn, Vandenbroucke commented after this discovery that scientists are closer to discovering the origin of these eruptions. These are more mysterious, since from now on a series of stars cannot be considered the sources.
This discovery of the "non-source" is leaving scientists perplexed, as they raise considerably the unanswered questions. Now, given the situation, the team at the IceCube telescope plans to conduct a further series of observations by FRB eruptions to detect their source sources.

Discounts, rebates at Ardmore Three draw buyers
By Tan Chee Yuen / The Edge Property | April 29, 2016 11:14 AM SGT
Ardmore Three
A 1,776 sq ft unit on the 11th floor of Ardmore Three was sold for $5.60 million, which translates to $3,152 psf, according to a caveat lodged on April 15. Based on caveats lodged, this brings the latest tally of units sold to eight out of 84 in the freehold luxury condominium tower by developer Wheelock Properties, at an average transacted price of $3,329 psf.
However on April 13, the developer started offering buyers a 15% discount and a 15% ABSD rebate under the "ABSD assistance package" to offset the additional buyer's stamp duty. This means the effective purchase price of units will be from $4.54 million or $2,540 psf. According to marketing agents, the offer only applies to units from the 9th to the 20th floors, and will be for a limited period only.
Word on the street is that there has been a flurry of sales since this special offer was made a fortnight ago, and it will be evident in the caveats lodged in subsequent weeks.
Wheelock Properties is said to have moved a number of units at Ardmore Three over the past fortnight with its 15% discount and 'ABSD assistance package'
Source: Wheelock
Ardmore Three was completed in 4Q2014, which means all the units have to be sold by end-2016 so that the developer will not be hit by extension charges under the conditions of the Qualifying Certificate (QC).
Last month, developer OUE offered two alternative schemes to buyers of its 462-unit OUE Twin Peaks on Leonie Hill Road: a straight 15% discount for selected units with prices starting from $2,300 psf, or the option of purchasing with a deferred payment scheme, with units starting from $2,700 psf. That created a stir in the market. Two recent caveats for the 99- year leasehold OUE Twin Peaks saw buyers opting for the straight discount. A 549 sq ft, one-bedroom unit on the third level fetched $1.29 million ($2,350 psf), according to a caveat on April 19, while one floor above, another 549 sq ft unit was sold for $1.26 million ($2,300 psf) on April 8.

Home health care provides woman with independence
By Bill Poteat bpoteat@gastongazette.com
By her own description, Dimpal Patel is "your typical 23-year-old."
She was recently graduated from UNC Charlotte with a bachelor's degree in marketing. She loves to play games and watch movies. She is an avid reader whose favorite authors include Nicholas Sparks and J.K. Rowling.
But, in many ways, Patel, who lives with her parents off South Point Road below Belmont, is not typical at all.
She suffers from muscular dystrophy, a debilitating illness that has robbed her of much of her mobility, left her confined to a wheelchair and dependent upon a trach tube and a ventilator just to breathe.
Patel recently contacted The Gazettte about her fear that Medicaid funding might be cut by Congress this year as the government grapples with a soaring federal deficit.
It is Medicaid which provides the funding for the home health nurses who allow her to live as independently as possible and it is Medicaid which helps provide the money for her life-sustaining medical equipment.
Those home health nurses have been with Patel since 2009, when she had to have the trach tube installed, and went with her each day to her classes at South Point High School, from which she graduated in 2013.
Those nurses were also with her each day at UNC Charlotte, allowing her to earn the bachelor's degree of which she is so very proud.
On a recent dreary January afternoon, I visited with Patel in her home and spoke with her about her goals, her determination not to be defeated by muscular dystrophy, and the role which home health care has played in her life.
As we sit at the family's kitchen table, I notice a Carolina Panthers glass and ask her if she is a fan.
"Oh yes!" she replied, saying that she seldom misses a game on TV and that she was able to meet team quarterback Cam Newton at a charity event last year. She's also a big fan of NASCAR and is starting to develop an interest in college basketball.
"I just believe in staying positive," she said, when asked how she copes with the physcial restrictions she must deal with each day.
"There will always be people who have things better than me," she continued. "And there will always be people whose problems make mine look small. You simply have to deal with life as it comes and always try to keep a positive attitude."
As we talk, Amy Owens, a nurse for BAYADA Home Health Care, is at the table with us.
Patel, Owens says, "is one of the most remarkable people I have ever met. I'm based in Shelby and I don't usually come this far, but I never miss being able to spend a day with Dimpal. She just brightens my day."
Patel brushes aside Owens' compliment but speaks candidly of how home health care has been a necessity of her life.
"Two of my BAYADA nurses -- Chasity Bridges and Toni Birmingham -- have been with me for nine years and six years each. They are like family to me, and they really are lifesavers. Without them, my parents would not be able to work and keep me at home, and I certainly would not have been able to experience college life."
Without her nurses, Patel said, her parents would either have to quit work to stay home with her or place her in a nursing home.
"I want to continue to contribute," she said. "I want to be of service to others."
"I ask that our legislators be mindful of what funding and service cuts can mean - not only to the financially needy or to the elderly - but to 23 year olds like me who want to continue living a full life."
(Dimpal Patel is very eager to put her marketing skills to work and would love to volunteer with local charities or nonprofits. She may be reached at patel1994@hotmail.com.)

When will we notice the Google Hummingbird update?
Categories: Auto, Big Data
By Michael Dehaven (@stormseo) October 4th, 2013
At the company's 15th birthday celebration last week, Google announced its largest algorithm update to date. As part of that announcement, the company revealed to search-industry professionals that the update has been live for a month.
What? How could a massive update—one that affects 90% of search queries worldwide—have escaped the notice of SEO geeks everywhere?
The answer is simple, but profound. Those of us who have been around the SEO industry for more than a decade think and monitor Google by using traditional thought processes and queries. But the world has changed. The way people search for information isn't the same as it was fifteen years ago.
Google's Matt Cutts foreshadows this algorithm change in a video released on July 8, 2013, in which he introduces an alternate way of thinking about context-based queries. The concept he reveals in this video suggests that Google is challenging the status quo as they research user expectations around voice search.
As Google focuses on its mission, "To organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful," the company continues to innovate in ways that make it easier and faster for consumers to connect with relevant information. The Hummingbird Update is just the latest in a multi-year series of updates, designed to ensure that Google supplies relevant, timely information in the fastest way possible.
This update feels a bit like the Google Instant update in 2010. Both were significant updates that affect user experience; however, the changes feel like a logical, natural progression in search engine user interface design.
In the near-term, Hummingbird will be most noticeable to SEO industry professionals who play with contextual search technology. We will start to search for information by defining a topic, and will then iterate deeper into search with pronouns instead of explicit searches with all necessary keywords.
For example, I did some experimenting with my Android device by performing the following list of search queries:
Q: Who is the president of the United States?
A: Barack Obama
Q: How tall is he?
A: Barack Obama is 6'1" tall
Q: Is he married?
A: Barack Obama's spouse is Michelle Obama since 1992
Q: How old is she?
A: Michelle Obama is 49 years old
At this point I was pretty impressed. So, I decided to push Google's version of Siri a little further and found Google Voice Search assembling queries for me:
Q: Do they have children?
A: Google Query: "how old is michelle obama children"
Q: Do they have pets?
A: Google Query: "do they have pets"
In both cases, the contextual thread was broken and the results started falling apart. I then proceeded to test a few other searches. Google was able to provide me information about the CEOs of some public-facing companies. I also found querying for details about movies works well.
Over the next year, we will surely see this technology's effect on the way people search. As consumers learn that they can search more efficiently, and understand the power (and added safety) of voice search, it will become a commonly used tool, at least on Google devices.
The more important thing to consider is the trajectory. The Hummingbird update gives us an interesting piece of technology that we can show off to friends and family. I'm sure that my wife and I will begin a new round of Android vs. iPhone battles in our home. However, as online marketing professionals, we need to start planning for where this technology will be a year or two from now. Websites with thorough, well-organized product information are going to win.
Today, Google doesn't impress me when I ask, "What is the top-rated washing machine?" But in the next few years, as we see Hummingbird v2 and beyond, and as developers figure out how to build for this type of search, the following series of queries will be realistic.
Q: What is the top-rated washing machine for large families?
Q: How heavy is it?
Q: How do users rate its reliability?
Q: Is it quiet?
Q: Will it eat my socks?
Q: How much is it?
Q: Where can I buy it today?
Q: Do they use high-pressure sales techniques?
Take note of the type of data that will be required to properly answer these questions. Product reviews need to be available and evaluated with natural language processing to determine how large families feel about their washing machines. Next, manufacturer data is a reliable source for product weight. Then, to address reliability, it is probably best to consider all reviews for the product, but maybe even reviews for similar products from the same brand. After that, a combination of manufacturer data and interpreted user-generated content will help accurately answer the quietness question. Regarding socks being eaten, this question will most likely be a distraction that will result in a search query.
However, it will be important for search engines remember context from previous queries, unlike Google when I asked, "Do they have children?" while researching the Obamas. Then, for the cost and location queries, current geo-coordinates need to be compared with those found in local store pages, which hopefully contain accurate price and inventory information at a local level. Finally, local store reviews must be considered, so that consumers are directed to stores offering an amazing shopping experience.
The future of voice search will feel something like this within a couple years. Consumers will expect accurate answers to questions like these as they use Google Voice Search and Siri to guide their shopping, entertainment, and service provider decisions. To reap the benefits of this technology trend, it will be vital to provide extensive structured markup (schema.org code) and various types of user-generated content. Those who embrace this trend will be the winners as we enter the latter part of this decade.

If a machine was standing next to me and could recognize that I looked "puzzled", and it said in a empathetic manner, "Hey Steve, you seem to be thinking about something. Is it something I could help with?" Then, I would talk to it.

Ever heard of Google you idiot? Go search for the term. SEO is about as old as Google itself so you're the one that's obviously way behind.
Sid October 17, 2013
Nice article, however it won't really change much, webbies will keep churning out sites with same amount of garbage as now (as well as gold), the only one winning here is google – taking credit for loads of peoples work simply because it was found on the internet by them. another factor to take into consideration – ALL SEARCH ENGINES BELONG TO US OF A. SCARY SCARY

It would help if you explained, ab initio, to nincompoops like myself, what 'SEO' stood for…


When was the last time you checked in on your lower half?
Losing weight can be a challenge, but the process of weight loss is simple.
Fall is here in full force and with less daylight most people find that their energy levels start dropping off. It just sneaks up on us and it doesn't take long for the weather to transition into cool, rainy and often overcast days.
The answer to many ills is flowing right out of your kitchen tap. For years, a friend lived on anti-inflammatories for her migraines until she was told to drink more water…miraculously, she was able to toss the Tylenol once she started heeding the hydration advice.

How do Laser Rangefinders Work?
Laser rangefinders, on the other hand, are essential measuring equipment that are often used in building, restorations, finishing, military, forestry, sports, power sector, hunting, agriculture, and anywhere else where quick and exact distance angle or slope readings are required.
But the most important question is: how does this gadget operate, and how do you choose the best laser rangefinder?
Laser rangefinders are widely used measuring equipment that may be used to measure small distances and other spatial measures.
It's not surprising that professionals prefer laser rangefinders over optical and ultrasonic rangefinders in their everyday job.
HOW DOES A LASER RANGEFINDER WORK?
Laser rangefinders :
Typically, they use their optoelectronic systems to produce electromagnetic pulses in the form of laser beams.
The laser beam bounces off the surface of the aim and returns to the rangefinder. The rangefinder's systems then analyse the beam in order to calculate the distance.
The device's mechanism calculates distance by assessing travel time in two planes using the phase delay of produced and reflected EM waves. In phase laser rangefinders, this technique of measuring is utilised.
Directly measuring the transit time of the pulse from the rangefinder to the aim and vice versa is another laser-based distance measurement technique.
Pulse laser rangefinders employ this technology. Laser rangefinders that conduct interferometric distance measurements are also available.
Interferometric rangefinders are without a doubt the most exact and quickest distance measuring technology, but they are also the most expensive and vulnerable to damage. As a result, they are unreliable in the field.
With 1 mm per kilometre precision, laser rangefinders can collect measurements both inside and outdoors.
Professional construction laser rangefinders can often measure up to over 150 metres.
Long-range rangefinders can detect objects up to 1500 metres away. The majority of rangefinders are used in hunting, agriculture, forestry, and road building.
What Are The Benefits Of Using Laser Rangefinders?
Laser rangefinders are the most functional and technologically sophisticated measuring equipment when compared to their optical and ultrasonic cousins.
Their greatest benefit, apart from the incredibly exact readings (+/- 1-5 mm per kilometre), is that they can only be used by one person.
At least two individuals were required to utilise optical rangefinders to obtain exact distance measurements at building sites and in vast open areas. As a result, adopting a laser rangefinder eliminates the need for additional workers and, in essence, speeds up measuring operations.
Laser rangefinders are also less prone to measurement mistakes, which are often caused by inaccurate tool alignment and other operator mistakes.
Furthermore, most professional laser rangefinders come with electronic alignment assistance, automated calibration, and the ability to collect measurements using the Pythagorean equation or the "painter" function.
You may also use these tools to perform continuous measurements, delay measurements, sum or differ a surface, and measure volume.
Laser rangefinders with advanced processors and clear displays that show measurement data have significantly improved their functionality, utility, and ease of use.
Professional laser rangefinders, such as the EXTECH DT60M, also include math features that may be used to obtain measurements.
However, the Pythagorean equation methodology is used in this function. It aids the operator in measuring the height of an item using two reference points.
This is a really handy feature that allows you to do things like. Simply move the laser dot to the top and bottom of the item to get its height.
When using laser rangefinders to take spatial measurements, keep in mind that laser beams are harmful to the human eye.
That is why, before directing the laser beam towards an item, you must ensure that no one close is at risk. Furthermore, laser rangefinders must be serviced on a regular basis, especially if they are used in inclement weather.
Which Laser Rangefinder Should You Choose?
There are a variety of laser rangefinders on the market, each with its own set of features.
However, there are a few crucial characteristics to consider when purchasing a professional measuring instrument for usage by professionals.
The design and technical specifications of a device, on the other hand, should be appropriate for the industry, the kind of measurements, and the terrain and weather conditions in which it will be used.
For building sites or facility measures, you'll need a special rangefinder, and for long-range distance measures in agriculture, forestry, or the power business, you'll need a completely different one.
The following are the qualities to which you should pay special attention:
Operating range:
However, the operating range of any laser rangefinder—many construction devices—is an essential element.
The AXIOMET AX-DL 100 has a range of 40–80 metres of effective range. You can collect measures up to 120 metres away with more modern devices.
Long-range laser rangefinders have a range of over 1500 metres, which is even more amazing.
Laser dot diameter
The diameter of a laser dot is generally determined by the distance between it and the kind of item being measured.
On wet plaster, for example, the laser dot will be considerably less noticeable than on an ancient brick wall or concrete subfloor.
Laser rangefinders' laser dots typically have a diameter of 6–60 mm. During measurements that require lengthy sight of the laser dot, we recommend using special high contrast glasses.
Minimum unit displayed
This parameter has a direct impact on a measuring device's accuracy. The better the measurement accuracy, the lower the minimum unit indicated.
The most accurate laser rangefinders offer measuring data with a 0.1 mm resolution.
When utilising a laser rangefinder in the field, it is vital that it be durable and resistant to water and dust.
It is important to choose a product with the appropriate IP rating for construction operations.
This will reduce the chance of the instrument being damaged during travel, but it will make collecting measurements in high-duty or wet settings and precipitation more difficult.
Professional laser rangefinders with an IP54 or above grade are of the highest quality.
To snipers and artillery, rangefinders provide a precise distance to targets positioned beyond the range of point-blank fire.
They may also be utilised for surveillance and engineering by the military. Handheld military rangefinders, on the other hand, can cover distances of 2 km to 25 km and are used in conjunction with binoculars or monoculars.
The rangefinder may provide magnetic azimuth, inclination, and height (length) of targets when equipped with a digital magnetic compass (DMC) and an inclinometer.
Some rangefinders can also measure the speed with which an aim moves around the observer. Some rangefinders feature wired or wireless connections that allow them to send measurement data to other devices, such as fire control systems.
Some versions additionally allow for the usage of add-on night vision modules.
Standard or rechargeable batteries are used in most portable rangefinders. The most powerful rangefinders can measure up to 25 kilometres and are usually mounted on a tripod or directly on a vehicle or gun platform.
The rangefinder module is combined with onboard thermal, night vision, and daylight observation equipment in the latter scenario.
Computers may be incorporated with the most powerful military rangefinders. Despite the fact that laser rangefinders and laser-guided missiles are less effective against military targets, several military branches have likely created laser-absorbing paint for their vehicles.
Regardless, certain things do not reflect laser light well, making it impossible to use a laser rangefinder on them.
3-D Modeling
Laser rangefinders, on the other hand, are utilised exclusively in 3-D object identification, 3-D object modelling, and a wide variety of other computer vision-related applications.
The core of the so-called time-of-flight 3D scanners is this technology. Laser rangefinders, unlike the military equipment mentioned above, have high-precision scanning capabilities, with single-face or 360-degree scanning modes.
In forestry, however, special laser rangefinders are used. These devices use reflectors and include anti-leaf filters.
Because only this reflector reflects a laser beam, precise distance measuring is ensured. Forest inventories, for example, are likely to utilise laser rangefinders with anti-leaf filters.
Laser rangefinders are likely to be particularly useful in a variety of activities requiring precise distance measuring, such as golf, hunting, and archery.
Caddytalk, Opti-logic Corporation, Bushnell, Leupold, LaserTechnology, Trimble, Leica, Newcon Optik, Op. Electronics, Nikon, Swarovski Optik, and Zeiss are among the most well-known manufacturers.
ARC (angle range correction), multi-distance capability, slope, JOLT (Vibrate when the target is locked), and Pin-Seeking are some of the sophisticated features available on Bushnell rangefinders.
The rifleman's rule may be used to calculate ARC by hand, although it's typically much quicker to use a rangefinder while hunting.
In golf, when time is of the essence, a laser rangefinder comes in handy for determining distance to the flag.
However, not all features are completely permitted for use in a golf event.
77 Most hunters in the eastern United States don't need a rangefinder, but many western hunters need because of greater shooting distances and more open terrain.
Price Edit
The cost of a laser rangefinder varies based on the product's quality and use. Rangefinders for military use must be very precise and capable of reaching great distances. Hundreds of thousands of dollars might be at stake.
In other civilian uses, like hunting or golf, they are more affordable and considerably more accessible.
Laser Rangefinder Performance Factors
The key parameters that determine LRF quality and operation are referred to as "performance factors" by us.
Knowing what to look for in a rangefinder can help you decide if you want to go for rifle hunting with ballistics, precision shooting, or bow hunting with angle adjustment.
Optical Quality
You rely on the glass to view, spot, and make out features of an aim when you buy an optic, binocular, spotter, or riflescope. A rangefinder is anticipated to do the same.
Low magnification may be compensated for by using high-quality glass with high-quality coatings. There is a delicate balancing act to be considered, and if you can't see your item, you won't be able to reach it.
Receiver Aperture
Given that the LRF collects reflected wavelengths of emitted laser light, the receiver aperture size is an important consideration.
Although optical resolution and brightness are crucial, it also determines how much return data can be obtained for sensor processing.
The bigger the aperture, though, the more data and light that can be "collected." This may help with range distance accuracy and overall performance.
Target Size & Position
Aside from reflectivity, the target size, location, and form must all be taken into account.
Of course, a deer standing broadside at 300 yards is simpler to range than an 8″ steel plate at 1000 yards;
the plate is reflective, but it's also smaller, and beam divergence will be the deciding factor in this instance.
What if the plate was on its side? Good luck obtaining a return scan.
Magnification 4-10x
Objective lens size 15 – 24mm
Compact 3.8 – 7" (L)
Lightweight 5 – 16 oz
It's time to get into the details of how rangefinders function and how to recognise their strengths and weaknesses. However
With this knowledge, you'll be able to choose the best rangefinder for your needs and optimise its performance.
A laser rangefinder is a portable monocular that measures distance using a laser beam.
In the sports optics sector, it is the essence of it. Physically, a rangefinder should have certain characteristics that are constant between models and manufacturers.


"Management Practices for Sustainable Development"
Management and Economics has become wide in discussing topics in present context. In every country most of the decisions are taken based on these subjects. In order to govern a country, policy makers should have a thorough understanding about these subjects. Because of that reason, the value of this conference has increased day by day. As a result of that we thought to hold this conference for the third consecutive year.Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of country is mainly based on businesses. Every country is not sufficient with Agriculture, so there needs to be businesses in order to support for the national income of the country. Businesses cannot exist for a longer period of time, if there is no proper management system. So the subject of management also play a crucial role in managing businesses. In businesses management will aid to coordinates the efforts of people to accomplish goals and objectives by using available resources efficiently and effectively. Management includes planning, organizing, staffing, leading or directing, and controlling an organization to accomplish the goal or target. Management is also an academic discipline, a social science whose objective is to study social organization.
Economics is a social science that studies how individuals, governments, firms and nations make choices on allocating scarce resources to satisfy their unlimited wants. Economics can generally be broken down into 02 parts. Namely it is macroeconomics and microeconomics. Macroeconomics concentrates on the behavior of the aggregate economy on the other hand microeconomics focuses the most important thing is to share knowledge with others. Development of the country is depend on the economic system that exists in the country. So economists should implement genuine economic policies to maintain the sustainability of a country. So this conference would be a golden opportunity for the people to express their ideas and share their knowledge with others, because well-educated and reputed people are participating this conference.
We have successfully completed the 01st and 2nd International conference on Business Management and Economics On 17th & 18th March 2015 on Galadari Hotel and on 19th February 2016 at Galle Face Hotel, Colombo, Sri Lanka respectively. With the successfully completion of above two conferences, we are proudly organizing 03rd International Conference on Business Management and Economics under the theme of "Management Practices for Sustainable Development". This will be held on 02nd December 2016 @ Gall Face Hotel Colombo - Sri Lanka. Please click Call for papers.
This provides valuable opportunity for academics, researchers, professionals, administrators, educational leaders, policy makers, economists, industry representatives, advanced students, and other persons who are interesting in business management and economics subject area in worldwide to present their ideas, suggestions, research findings, experiences and innovations. Gathering of pool of human resources can easily exchange their ideas, knowledge and other things with others effectively. In addition, all the submitted full papers will be included in the conference proceedings CD and proceeding book. Selected best papers will be published on following journals and publications.
