Lawn Shop Lawn Fertiliser – NMAXX is the most efficient stabilised nitrogen source available fresh from the USA. Why not innovate by using this fantastic NEW lawn fertiliser product, which has never been offered to UK lawn owners before?
In a very handy 5 Kg Bucket so use what you need and keep the lid shut tight afterwards and it will store if kept dry and sealed until it is time to feed your lawns again in 3 months time!
Area covered by:
2.5 Kg – 84 sqm
5.0 Kg – 166 sqm
10 Kg – 333 sqm
20 Kg – 666 sqm
If you manage a lawn treatment company or garden maintenance company offering a lawn fertilising service, the NMAXX range is the best suited range for your needs as it offers new technology at a very low unit cost per square metre. Prices may be negotiated for multi bag orders.
It is not slow or controlled release but a uniquely formulated Nitrogen source with two proprietary enzyme blockers that minimize urea nitrogen loss to the atmosphere and groundwater. More Nitrogen stays in the soil where the turf grass plants need it, in its stable, ammonium form. You apply nitrogen fertiliser to feed your turf and plants, and NMAXX insures they get as much of this essential nutrient as intended. Stabilised Nitrogen does not require microbial breakdown of chemical bonds or a sulphur coating to accomplish this longevity. It simply prevents microbial oxidation of the ammoniacal form of nitrogen for a period of time, depending on the concentration of the nitrification inhibitor Dicyandiamide included in the product.
With an analysis of 25-5-12 plus 2% Magnesium it is an ideal early spring and summer fertiliser for all lawn types containing 50% NMAXX.
The mini prill granule is totally soluble in a matter of hours. It is not easily picked up by mowing practices unlike the sulphur coated types favoured by many of the lawn treatment companies.
Each fertiliser granule contains equal amounts of nutrients which ensures even coverage and growth patterns.
The release of Nitrogen will be over a 12 – 16 week period with some initial green up as some of the nutrients are available to the turf grasses within a few days following application, without the rapid vegetative growth flushes that can be experienced from some conventional mineral lawn fertilisers. It has a low scorch potential if properly applied, allowing ease of application.
One 5 Kg Bucket will cover 166 square metres per single application when applied at the recommended rate of 30 grams per square metre. The typical cost per single square metre will be 10 pence.
Best applied via a spinning disc fertiliser spreader. Contains no moss control and no selective weed killer.
Re-apply every three months throughout the year from February up until October then apply at half dose rate as an Autumn and Winter Fertiliser.

Petrobras Plans to Double Overseas Investment
Petrobras' International Area Director, Nestor Cerveró, presented the company's international performance business strategies, investment plans, and corporate goals as foreseen in the company's 2007-2011 Business Plan to the Brazilian and the foreign press on Tuesday.
According to Cerveró, between 2007 and 2011, Petrobras will invest $12.1 billion abroad, $5.4 billion more than the 2006-2010 plan had foreseen. The Exploration & Production activities abroad will get 70.2% of the investments.
"The International Area will focus on Western Africa (particularly Nigeria and Angola), and on the Gulf of Mexico, because of the deepwater exploration perspectives in those regions," highlighted the director.
The second-largest share of the total investment--24.8%--will be directed to the refining and marketing activities. Cerveró said the plan also foresees investments in the petrochemicals, distribution, and in the gas & energy segments.
Of the $12.1 billion, 28% ($3.3 billion) will be allocated in Latin America, 23% ($2.8 billion) in North America, 16% ($2 billion) in Africa, and 33% ($4 billion) in new projects.
Petrobras' corporate strategy in its 2007-2011 Business Plan is to achieve leadership in the oil, natural gas, byproduct, and biofuel market in Latin America, performing as an integrated energy company with selective expansion in petrochemicals, renewable energy, and in international activities.
So far as Bolivia is concerned, Cerveró said the company's plan determines continuing fulfilling the take-or-pay agreement for natural gas imports that expires in 2019. The plan foresees the purchase of a daily volume of 24 million cubic meters, which may even go as high as 30 million cubic meters a day.
The corporate goals for the International Area project producing 568,000 barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) a day by 2011, representing a nearly 119% growth rate compared to the 259,000 BOE produced in 2005 results.

“And now THIS...? Enough already, God. That's the last straw!”
There are times when enough is not only enough but too much! We can't bear one more thing. And then that “one more thing” still happens or happens again.
Has it been one thing after another to weigh us down? Trials on top of trials? Setbacks and obstacles and a multitude of problems? Are troubles compounded? Do they come in clusters? It seems as if “Murphy's Law” is our motto: “Anything that can go wrong does go wrong.” We are literally at our wits' end. And now one more thing? That's the last straw!
One straw is not heavy in itself. Certainly one can hardly feel the weight of one straw. But bales of hay and straw are becoming heavier and harder to handle. And then comes one more trial, one more test, one more affliction, one more hardship, one more problem, one more adversity—and it feels like it's finally the last straw to break our patience and crush us. We’ve convinced ourselves that we have every reason to give up, to despair. That's the end!
Is it God who is trying to weigh us down, to pile adversity upon adversity to see how much we can take without caving in? Is He so cruel and sadistic to burden us with more than we can bear? Not according to 1 Corinthians 10:13 (GNT. “Every test that you have experienced is the kind that normally comes to people. But God keeps his promise, and he will not allow you to be tested beyond your power to remain firm; at the time you are put to the test, he will give you the strength to endure it, and so provide you with a way out.” What is there about that promise that we don't understand?
God is working on us and through our circumstances for our good although it may not seem that way to us. That includes illness, relationships, finances, mental anguish, economic collapse—anything and everything. There is a purpose in all things. Nothing is happenstance. Through these afflictions we are being changed and transformed into the image of Jesus Christ. They may feel abrasive and hurtful but we are being lovingly polished in God's finishing school. What we look upon as reversals or obstacles or closed doors may simply be His redirection to a better way.
What we are going through is exactly that—something we are going through. We will come out on the other side. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and that Light is Jesus and He is working out His perfect will for our lives. Life is a journey, an on-going trek through the wilderness. It is a process and we are pilgrims. We are sojourners; this world is not our Home; we are just traveling through. We are not experiencing a dead-end worst case scenario no matter how it feels or looks. There is no such thing as “a last straw.”
In Psalm 107, subtitled “The Lord delivers man from manifold troubles,” King David the musician and songwriter goes all out to list (if I count correctly) twenty-eight negative things that came against God's people one after the other and how God saw them through, It chronicles how He “guided them to their safe haven” after all the hardships that befell them. Take a listen to their dark list of adversity experiences—talk about hardships and misfortunes!
“Adversities, hunger, thirst, fainting, trouble, distresses, darkness, shadow of death, misery, chains, labors, stumbling, helpless, bands, gates of bronze, bars of iron, affliction, loss of appetite, gates of death, destruction, at wits' end, in the wilderness, in salt waste, in dry land, diminished, bowed down, oppressed, in sorrow.”
Any one of these could have been the straw that would break the camel's back and cause them permanent despair. How does the Psalm begin? “Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good.” What does the author exclaim half way through the above litany of bad stuff? “Let them give thanks to the Lord for His lovingkindness...let them extol Him...and praise Him.” How does the psalm-song end? “Consider the lovingkindness of the Lord!”
Maybe such things are happening to you? Do you have your own long litany of adversities? Are you experiencing “a last straw episode?” Can you look at your “last straw” and say, “Thanks, Lord, I needed that”? Well, maybe you can't even whisper that--right now. But you will--later.
Take a bulldog grip on that First Corinthians promise and tell that depressed camel to get up off the desert sand. Quit complaining--Its back is not broken--and neither is yours!
Climb up on its hump and go forward in the strength of the Lord and in the power of His might!

CBD does not appear to have any psychotropic ("high") effects such as those caused by ∆9-THC in marijuana, but may have anti-anxiety and anti-psychotic effects. As the legal landscape and understanding about the differences in medical cannabinoids unfolds, it will be increasingly important to distinguish "medical marijuana" (with varying degrees of psychotropic effects and deficits in executive function) – from "medical CBD therapies” which would commonly present as having a reduced or non-psychoactive side effect profile.
Canabidol™ CBD Cannabis Oil (CBD Oli)– Available in 25%,50% and 75% concentrations. Our proprietary engineering process has been developed to isolate and remove any unwanted compounds, while creating the maximum potency level of phytocannabinoids. State-of-the-art technology is employed to ensure a full-spectrum oil, that includes both high levels of Canabidiol, Cannabinoids and terpenes. This guarantees a consistent, pure, and premium product for our customers
CBD was first discovered in the 1940s by Roger Adams, the former head of the chemistry department at University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. In his research, Adams isolated CBD from hemp but couldn’t determine what exactly he’d found. In addition to CBD, Adams also synthesized analogs of THC and another cannabinoid, showing their relationship to CBD.
He throws open an industrial door, and my eyeballs are scalded by a halo of plasma bulbs. We step into an immense, warm room that smells like a hundred Yes concerts. Once my eyes adjust, I can see the crop in all its rippling glory—close to a thousand female plants standing six feet tall, their roots bathed in a soup of nutrients, their spiky leaves nodding in the breeze of the oscillating fans. Here in a sweep of the eye is more than a half million dollars’ worth of artisanal pot.
Even though marijuana is listed as a dangerous drug, there have been no direct fatalities recorded. The overdose levels are far too high for anyone to ingest. In fact, the overdose levels are 1000 times higher than the effective dose of 15 mg. Any fatalities connected to marijuana have been due to driving while under the influence of THC, trouble with the law because of possession, or smoking weed during a pregnancy (infant fatality).
The confirmation process for Justice Brett Kavanaugh was painful for many of us. Earthjustice stood staunchly against his nomination—both because of the jurist we know Justice Kavanaugh to be, and because we believe Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. Despite having every opportunity to get it right, our lawmakers once again failed all of us by charting a course that was deeply disrespectful to survivors of sexual assault and offensive to our bedrock principles of equity and justice.
As the environment around us affects our normal state of balance, the endocannabinoid system keeps us level by mediating our body’s reaction to external stimuli. Taking a whole-plant hemp oil supplement can enhance your body’s ability to maintain homeostasis and manage physical and emotional stress as a result of changes in your immediate environment.
Premium Full Spectrum Hemp Oil is commonly used for assisting with pain, stress, sleep, anxiety, and more. To assist with Pain, Stress, Anxiety take as recommended once a day in the morning. To assist with sleep take as recommended in the evening. All of Zatural's Hemp products are always 0 THC. If needed, one may increase the daily recommended dosage slowly according to their needs.
When exposed to air, warmth and light (especially without antioxidants), the oil loses its taste and psychoactivity due to aging. Cannabinoid carboxylic acids (THCA, CBDA, and maybe others) have an antibiotic effect on gram-positive bacteria such as (penicillin-resistant) Staphylococcus aureus, but gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli are unaffected.
Hemp and Marijuana come form the same plant family, but are completely different in function, cultivation and application. Marijuana generally has a high level of THC (a psychoactive compound that makes you feel “high”) and is used for medicinal or recreational purpose. Hemp contains a negligible amount of THC (but is high in CBD) and is used in dietary supplements, skin products, clothing and paper.
In terms of cancer, the suggestion is to have three doses of CBD oil each day, and gradually increase the amount to 1 gram per day. The full treatment is believed to take 90 days. Please note that CBD oil is still illegal in many countries, but there is a significant amount of research being done on its medical applications, and a number of reputable sources have put out guides regarding the use of CBD oil for treatment of many diseases.
Scientific studies have established that synthetic, single-molecule hemp-oils have a very narrow window of efficacy and requires great precision to achieve that efficacy, whereas lower concentration, whole-plant, full-spectrum, phyto-nutrient rich nutritional supplement regimens are already showing efficacy for many. Full-spectrum compounds interact collectively and enhance their therapeutic benefits. Scientists call this the “entourage effect.” Numerous hemp compounds have medicinal attributes, but the therapeutic impact of whole plant hemp is greater than the sum of its parts.
Can’t sleep? Cannabis oil also works for people with insomnia. The calming effects of the oil help people to sleep calmly, relieving issues of anxiety and restlessness. A 2015 scientific review published in the American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy found that cannabis treatment is effective for military veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Research suggests that cannabinoids, the psychoactive components of unrefined cannabis, regulates neurotransmitter release and produces a wide range of central nervous system effects, including increased pleasure and alteration of memory processes.
Kane fingers one of his innocuous-looking plants, expressing mild bemusement at the U.S. ban on commercial hemp cultivation. “Hemp produces fibers of unparalleled quality,” he notes. “It’s a tremendously high biomass crop that replenishes the soil and doesn’t require much in terms of inputs. We import tons and tons of hemp each year from China and even Canada, yet as a matter of federal policy, we can’t legally grow it. There are places where farmers in the U.S. can literally look across the Canadian border and see fields that are yielding huge profits.”
In a study whose findings have not yet been published, he and a colleague, Daniel Friedman, found that patients receiving CBD in addition to their usual medicines had 39 percent fewer convulsive seizures than patients who remained on their normal drug regimen. Given that the study included only the most treatment-resistant patients, this is an “excellent response,” Devinsky says.
Taking a fish oil supplement can be a helpful way to increase omega-3 fatty acids in your diet, a nutrient that is essential for brain development, immune system health, and mood regulation. Expectant mothers certainly want to include these nutrients in their diet; however, fish contains a great deal of mercury which can hinder neurological and developmental mechanisms in the unborn baby. Fortunately, hemp seed oil works as a terrific alternative to traditional omega-3 fatty acid supplements and doesn’t carry the same risk of mercury ingestion.
This oil is derived from the Cannabis sativa plant that can contain both CBD and THC in varying concentrations. The clear drawback of cannabis oil is that it cannot be purchased outside of a state that has not legalized the sale of cannabis. Cannabis oil can also contain higher amounts of THC, which could be problematic for those not looking for the psychoactive effects of cannabis oil.
Actually, no. BUT...there’s a very good reason for that! Because Functional Remedies’ hemp oil, Hemp Tincture and other sustainable hemp products are classified as dietary supplements by the FDA, we can’t make any specific claims as to what diseases and conditions they treat.

I lean over to sniff one of the powdery, tightly clustered flower buds, purple-brown and coursing with white wisps. These tiny trichomes fairly ooze with cannabinoid-rich resin. This strain is called Highway Man, after a Willie Nelson song. Hybridized by Hague, it’s a variety loaded with THC. The best parts will be trimmed by hand, dried, cured, and packaged for sale at one of Mindful’s dispensaries. “This whole room will be ready for harvest in just a few days,” Hague notes with the subtle smirk of a competitive breeder who’s won international awards for his strains.

Ginger Kefir / Beer
April 19, 2011 § Leave a comment
It’s been a while! I’ve spent this whole time playing with my water kefir. It’s been growing slowly but steadily, maybe tripled in volume in two months. Lena has made nut cheese with some of the spare grains which turned out pretty good too!
My cycle at the moment uses two jars. Every two days tip out the liquids, but save a bit of the jar that smells/tastes better. Split this liquid between the two jars, fill each with water and add brown sugar (2-3tsp). This leaves room for experimentation. After a week the jars build up quite a bit of gunk, so I strain out the grains, put them in new jars with fresh water and add more nutrients and lemon. Some notes:
Time: It might be due to the heat here, but after more than two days the kefir starts to get distinctly vinegary and sometimes develops what looks like a vinegar mother. If the acetobacter seems to be taking over, adding musty fruit like sultanas seems to give it the yeast to balance it back out.
Nutrients: Calcium seems to be quite important. Dried figs work well – possibly too well since it just speeds up the process and you have to change the water sooner before it gets funky. Brown sugar or raw sugar with a bit of molasses keeps it going most of the time.
Ginger I try to keep some form of ginger in there so the culture gets accustomed to it. Powder works fine, but fresh ginger juice is tastier. I’ve found young ginger (soft, light colour) doesn’t yield as much juice but tastes better post-fermentation. To juice, peel with a spoon, grate it and mix with some sugar. After 10 minutes or so the juice can be mashed, squeezed or pressed out with a spoon.
I’ve tried three ginger beer brews using the kefir liquid. The first two were a lot like the ginger bug – overbearingly lactic. Since then the kefir has gotten better, perhaps due to the cooler weather? The most recent brew I used my housemate Drea’s new super juicer, HEAPS of ginger and yarrow to hinder the lactobacillus (kudos to Home Brew Root Beer Blog for the idea).
2 young ginger rhizomes
4tbsp chrysanthemum flowers
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp tartaric acid
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup kefir liquid
The juicer makes things super quick and pumps out a lot of ginger (though cloudy, but I don’t mind!). I had to add some sugar and kefir a couple times before it started to ferment. Perhaps the yarrow was working too well? I tried the rice malt trick again but I don’t think it worked. That aside, this ginger beer went down pretty well! It’s pretty dry but super spicy, almost throat-burny. It’s a little thick, like cloudy apple juice. Housemates cited a bit of mediciney taste. I think a bit less ginger and we might be onto a winner.

The Ministry of Health through the Drug Control Authority (DCA), has given the Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine conditional approval for emergency use here in Malaysia. Also known as the COVILO or BBIBP-CorV, is an inactivated vaccine that uses killed viral particles to expose the immune system to the virus without risking a serious disease response which is similar to the Sinovac vaccine.
The two-dose vaccine has an interval of 21 days and has an efficacy rate of 79% against symptomatic infection and hospitalisation according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In May, the state-backed Chinese vaccine became the first vaccine developed by a non-western country to be approved by WHO for emergency use.
In the same announcement, the DCA has also announced the conditional approval of Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen COVID-19 vaccine, which was already given conditional registration last month. That being said, the Janssen vaccine was recently linked to rare cases of an autoimmune disorder called Guillain-Barré syndrome but so far, only 100 of such cases have been reported among 12.5 million doses administered.
With the new announcement by DCA, the National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme (PICK) now has access to six vaccines which has previously include Pfizer-BioNTech, AstraZeneca, Sinovac, and CanSino. However, JKJAV has yet to announce their actual plan with Johnson & Johnson, and Sinopharm for the time being although the coordinator minister for PICK, Khairy Jamaluddin is expected to provide some updates regarding the programme later today.

What is a viral disease?
Viral diseases are extremely widespread infections caused by viruses, a type of microorganism. There are many types of viruses that cause a wide variety of viral diseases. The most common type of viral disease is the common cold, which is caused by a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract (nose and throat).
How do you tell if it’s viral or bacterial?
Your doctor often can diagnose you through a medical history and physical exam. The doctor may order blood or urine tests or a spinal culture to help pinpoint a viral or bacterial infection.
How long is a virus contagious for?
Most people will be infectious for around 2 weeks. Symptoms are usually worse during the first 2 to 3 days, and this is when you’re most likely to spread the virus.

For 12 months they will have access to hight level masterclasses, professionals meetings and musicologicals conventions.
We are proud that the audience is also associated to the carrier’s development of these young pianists.
L’Europe du piano, in cooperation with the European Union’s program Europe Creative, is an association of the Liszt Academy in Budapest, the Muzio Clementi Association in Rome and the Festival Piano aux Jacobins in Toulouse.


Housing advocates faced yet another setback last Wednesday, while environmentalists and a contingent of residents received a win as the proposal for an age-restricted housing development on the Princeton Ridge was denied, leaving proponents of in-town senior housing looking toward the next project.
Town planners last week acknowledged that a regular review of the Princeton Community Master Plan would need to be in concert with, or at least considered with, Princeton University's long-term plans, which are expected to have lasting impact on certain aspects of town development and infrastructure.
The 2007 review by the Master Plan Subcommittee of the Regional Planning Board of Princeton began last Thursday and will likely, at least in part, be coordinated with the goals put forth in the University's campus plan, which is now in its second year. Most particularly, the University's overall impact on housing, circulation, land use, and community goals, will have to be part of the master plan review.
Last Tuesday, February 27, the Prince-ton Regional Board of Education approved Regulation 9320, "Cooperation with Law Enforcement Agencies," a document that attempts to clarify the role of school staff in circumstances involving the law enforcement officials on school property.
The regulation offers guidelines to school principals and administrators in the case of cooperation with local police departments. It was drafted following the board's dissatisfaction with the state-mandated Memorandum of Agreement. In January the board acknowledged, rather than approved, the Memorandum from the Office of the Attorney General.

This week’s Read This Next title is Three Messages and a Warning: Contemporary Mexican Short Stories of the Fantastic, edited by Eduardo Jimenez Mayo and Chris N. Brown, with an introduction from Bruce Sterling. This will be officially available from Small Beer Press is bringing this out in late-January, but it can be preordered here.
Here’s the description from Small Beer’s website:
This huge anthology of more than thirty all-original Mexican science fiction and fantasy features ghost stories, supernatural folktales, alien incursions, and apocalyptic narratives, as well as science-based chronicles of highly unusual mental states in which the borders of fantasy and reality reach unprecedented levels of ambiguity. Stereotypes of Mexican identity are explored and transcended by the thoroughly cosmopolitan consciousnesses underlying these works. It is a landmark of contemporary North American fiction that deserves a wide readership.
“Photophobia,” by Mauricio Monteil Figueiras.
You can tell from the start that “Photophobia” is more sophisticated than most stories in this collection—the vocabulary is complex, the concept unquestionably cerebral. An apocalyptic narrative is told through stream-of-consciousness storytelling that cleverly distracts from the story’s premise until the ending begins to shed some light on the narrator’s purpose and motives. The tale stands out in this populist collection of stories like a sore thumb, but I’m glad it was included. Here is a typical (and excellent) sentence:
“Eternity, he thought, pocket apocalypses: man has not learned the lessons of history, he is still the ignorant student who recorded his confusion in the caves of Altamira—it’s just that the caves have become tabloids.”
“The Drop” by Claudia Guillén.
In “The Drop,” a depressed young woman refuses to leave her room, watching drops of water fall to the floor. Her mother (the stated villain of the piece) claims that if the dripping stops, her child will die. A visiting doctor learns about himself as he studies the girl. That’s it, the entire premise. But the story is well-told, the ending surprising, and it’s the kind of eerie tale that sticks with you.

ROBOCAM-S PIPE CRAWLER
PLEASE CALL US FOR QUOTES: OR SEND US YOUR REQUIREMENT VIA OUR CONTACT FORM.
(+44) 07932 331 6262
ROBOCAM S is one of our newest pipe survey crawlers: with its new and innovative design incorporating safety, ease of use, low cost maintenance ( DIY ON-SITE Repair via its Block Parts Design). ROBOCAM S comes with a new Sensor-Based Technology for camera centering (Remote) and its one of the first to be equipped with a Full HD 1920×1080 pixels in the industry.
Also giving you a greater control With its gyro-sensor technique in measuring the inclination of the pipe.
ROBOCAM S has a Mini tractor for smaller diameter pipes, and its ergonomically designed, for smaller pipe diameters.
Lighting and Sensors systems:
The lighting is centered around the camera head, with 6 lighting units of a semi-permanent Super White LED lighting giving greater and all around pipe vision regardless of the pipe diameter.
In addition, when Crown Lamp Kit and Tractor Bumper Lamp Kit is installed, it can view up to 50-inch(1250mm) diameter pipe.
This system is equipped with an infrared sensor that can measure the diameter of the pipe by default, and the users can add-on Laser Measurement function.
D.I.Y. Maintenance Block Design Parts:
Designed & manufactured with the end user in mind, the RoboEye S can be easily maintained and repaired on-site if needed, all the core parts such as Lighting / Camera Head / Camera Rotation Unit / PCB Board module etc… can be removed and replace with ease.
Easy and Intuitive Transformation
First of all, our tractor is largely divided into three units: the robot body, vertical elevation lift units and wheel frame units.
Each of these three units with its independent modularization and can be connected to each other by connecting cables, which can create various shapes and sizes of robots in infinite combinations, when combined and used with Cube-Cell Block (CCB) and Spherical Extension Kit (SEK). When photographing a large box-shaped pipeline, an egg-shaped pipeline, or even in a large gradient,
in all of these cases, our expansion and transformation solutions of Robocam S provides an outstanding effect.
One-Touch Wheel Replacement Process
The four kinds of wheels that can cope with the various diameter sizes of pipelines can be easily replaced by one touch method.
Tractor Robocam S is a single standard model that can investigate at a minimum of 8-in(200mm) diameter tube
and up to 50-inch(1250mm) diameter tube when used with an extended block (CCB or SEK).
Also, if a separate mini tractor is used, small pipes of 9-inch (225mm) to 10-inch(300mm) diameter tube can be investigated as well.
This suggests that these two units can carry out investigation service for most of the pipelines in which the users would want to investigate on, and that there is a clear difference between Robocam S and other brand products since users would have to purchase at least three units individually and pay a high cost.
Only logged in customers who have purchased this product may leave a review.

Why Women Should Save Money Differently Than Men
We all know that ‘women are from venus and men are from mars.’ Â In her new book, One Bucket at a Time: A Woman’s Guide to Creating Wealth,Â author and financial advisor Terrell Dinkins makes the case that the same rule should apply to our finances.
“Because of divorce, widowhood or remaining single, many of us will have to carry the financial load alone,â€ says Dinkins. “Add to that the blessing and curse of living longer than men, and the fact that many of us are taking care of parents and children, and you see how women have to be strategic when it comes to saving and growing money,” she adds.
Dinkins advocates saving money in “3 different buckets:â€
Short-term bucket: This is where you keep your liquid cash for emergencies. Because women tend to be single and heads of households, they should actually have 6 to 9 months of living expenses in this bucket. This is where you should save for things you have to pay for if you lose your job.
Mid-term bucket: This is where you put money you’re willing to take risks with, like investments in stocks and mutual funds. We make less than men, so this is really important.Â No one should ever take more risk, however, than they are comfortable with, which is why you should always consult with a financial professional. You also want to make sure you fill the short-term bucket before you worry too much about this mid-term fund.
Long-term bucket: These include employer-sponsored retirement plans like 401 (k)’s, IRA’s, and SEP’s. Never walk away from free money in the employer sponsored funds, and take advantage of company matches. You also want to start filling long-term buckets early because the markets will go up and down; but remember, you’re in it for the long haul.
As far as how to save money: “Pay yourself first,â€ says Dinkins. “You may have to do things like get a roommate or prolong retirement, even move to a place with a lower cost of living; but you want to keep your eye on your goals and your most important asset —- You.â€

Originally bred and trained as retrievers, the Poodle has become one of the most popular and in demand service and therapy dogs due to their incredible intelligence, affectionate and gentle nature and their inherited low-shedding hypoallergenic coats.
The role of any service or therapy dog is to offer emotional and/or physical support and may include visiting nursing homes, hospitals, schools or institutions with confined or disabled patients, often bringing about the first smile seen in many months on the face of a many patients. Scientific studies have revealed that the company of a pet, like a therapy Poodle, has been shown to lower blood pressure and anxiety and significantly reduce stress, which is especially important when working around patients with chronic or debilitating illnesses.
The Poodle will settle down for long periods of time to match the pace of the person that they are with, or will be enthusiastic and ready to go when you are. They are born retrievers with an incredible sense of smell which, means that they can be easily trained to bring things their owner or support pal needs. Their keen sense also makes them a strong responder to diabetic alerting and an aide for those with vision or hearing impairments. In addition, their large size makes it easy for the Poodle to offer support and balance to help someone get around. And yet another big advantage is that the Poodle doesn’t shed, which makes them great service dogs for those with life-threatening allergies.
The Poodle is very in tune with human emotions, which is a must for therapy and service animals. In addition, they must be gentle and under control at all times and should possess an easygoing temperament- something that all Poodles in any size are known for. This makes the Poodle a great choice for work with psychiatric patients. The interaction between a patient and a therapy pet is non-judgmental, which can be extremely encouraging.
What about Poodle Crossbreeds?
Although not widely recognized as a service or therapy dog breed, the Labradoodle – a cross between a Standard Poodle and a Labrador Retriever– two of the top service and therapy dog breeds- the Labradoodle inherits all of the dominant characteristics of a reliable assistance companion. Labradoodles can take on the intelligence of a Poodle, and the adaptability of a Labrador. This mixed breed make great companion for people of all ages and conditions because of their ability to adapt to each individual’s needs and preferences.
Poodles are extremely dependable and adaptable and love being companion dogs with a purpose. To find out more information on this intelligent breed, please visit: premierpups.com today.

Then she taught me how to test the grill’s heat (one second or less = REALLY hot, 2-3 seconds = medium and longer than that means the heat is low…heh).
She prepped the dough, brushing one side with oil…
When we tried to flip it, it turned into this:
Even with three adults and three utensils…that bad boy was not coming up and flipping over in one piece. (Do you see all of the dough that fell through onto the coals??)
But, when life handed us strips of dough, we made cheese bread.
Simply put, the dough needed more flour. Attempt #1 at grilling pizza was unsuccessful, but we will conquer this…another night!
Moving onto dessert (and into the bathroom). See? Dishes drying on the bathroom counter.
We pulled out the blender, dumped our oreos in and…nothin’. Nada. Oh, it was blending alright….a bunch of air! You definitely need a food processor for this.
It ended up being faster to crush the oreos by hand with a fork, so that’s what we did!
Once we finally got the Oreos crushed, this dessert was DELICIOUS and so easy! I will definitely be making it again.
P.S. This was also the night I turned into the crazy stick lady. ha! What a night.

An Israeli army bulldozer crushed an American peace activist to death in the Gaza Strip yesterday in what witnesses described as a deliberate killing. Rachel Corrie, 23, died as she attempted to prevent the military destroying homes in the Rafah refugee camp, one of the most dangerous in the occupied territories.
"She was standing on top of a pile of earth," said another activist, Richard Purssell, who was a few feet away. "The driver cannot have failed to see her. As the blade pushed the pile, the earth rose up. Rachel slid down the pile. It looks as if she got her foot caught. The driver didn't slow down; he just ran over her. Then he reversed the bulldozer back over her again. She was very courageous."
Other activists said the bulldozer had approached from several metres away and that Ms Corrie, who was wearing a brightly coloured jacket, was waving and they were shouting at the driver to stop but he ignored them.
Witnesses said another protester had been slightly injured about half an hour earlier when the same bulldozer knocked him into barbed wire.
Ms Corrie was one of eight foreign volunteers - four from the US and four from Britain - with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) seeking to block house demolitions.
Mr Purssell, from Brighton, said that earlier an Israeli tank protecting the bulldozer had attempted to drive protesters away with warning shots and teargas. But there had been no trouble immediately before Ms Corrie was crushed.
Doctors at al-Najar hospital said she had died from skull and chest fractures. The Israeli military described the death as a "very regrettable accident".
"We are dealing with a group of protesters who are acting very irresponsibly, putting everyone in danger - the Palestinians, themselves and our forces - by intentionally placing themselves in a combat zone," the army said.
An Israeli military official later claimed there was limited visibility, especially on the ground immediately in front of the vehicle, from the windows of the armoured bulldozers used by the army.
ISM volunteers frequently act as human shields to hinder demolitions, delay the construction of the new "security" wall in the West Bank or to help protect Palestinians harvesting their crops under threat from Jewish settlers.
An ISM spokesman in America said yesterday that Ms Cor rie was a student in Olympia, Washington, who had been in the area for about a month.
She is the first foreign peace activist killed in the occupied territories during the past 2 years of intifada.
Another witness, Mansour Abed Allah, a Palestinian human rights worker in Rafah, said it was ironic that an American should be killed by a US-made bulldozer: "America is providing Israel with tanks and bulldozers, and now they killed one of their own people."
In an email this month, Ms Corrie described a February 14 confrontation with another Israeli bulldozer in which she referred to herself and other activists as "internationals".
"The internationals stood in the path of the bulldozer and were physically pushed with the shovel backwards, taking shelter in a house," she wrote. "The bulldozer then proceeded on its course, demol ishing one side of the house with the internationals inside."
After her death, the movement called on the US government, the UN and the international community "to uphold international law and respect the Geneva convention". It also demanded that the US halt the sale of weapons and Caterpillar bulldozers used in the destruction of Palestinian buildings.
Rafah refugee camp is surrounded by Jewish settlements and army posts. Palestinian civilians say they are frequent victims of random shootings by the military and settlers. Children are often among the dead.
The Israeli military has imposed "full closure" on the occupied territories this week to coincide with the Jewish holiday of Purim. The order prevents any Palestinians crossing into Israel.

Wildfires don't typically rage across southern California in May, but this year, with a drought covering the entire state, has been an unfortunate exception. The fires that were centered in San Diego County continue to burn, despite more favorable firefighting weather.
7 Recent Stories
UPDATE, Jan. 16, 5:51 p.m. ET: Three men were arrested on Thursday, accused of starting the fire by tossing papers into a campfire, authorities said. The fire has already burned down two houses and injured one person. A dangerous wildfire has broken out just outside of the Southern California community of Glendora, Calif.
Mapping firm Esri Wednesday released an interactive map of the California Rim Fire, which is now in its 12th day. In the map below, you can explore the fire's geography -- its invasion of Yosemite National Park, its encroachment upon the Hetch Hetchy reservoir which supplies the Bay Area's water supply, and its proximity to a cluster of Tuolumne County communities, many of which are under evacuation orders.
On Sunday evening, the Yarnell Hill Wildfire killed 19 firefighters in Yarnell, Ariz. This time-lapse video, recorded by photographer Matt Oss, offers a glimpse into the scale and the speed of the fire, which was the deadliest in decades, as reported by the National Fire Protection Association. The 20-minute video was shot at 4 p.m. MST on Sunday. Near the end, flames rise above the mountain peak. SEE ALSO: Double Rainbow Guy Stands up to Yosemite Wildfires Image courtesy of The U.S.
The Double Rainbow Guy has a new sight to behold -- and it's a lot more deadly than a post-shower sky. Paul "Bear" Vasquez first noticed the wildfires making their way through central California and Yosemite National Park on Sunday -- part of what's feared to be the worst season in a century. He had been talking on the phone with a CNN reporter, but he immediately grabbed his camera and started filming.
The vast scale of wildfires raging across parts of Colorado and the western U.S. has been captured on camera by astronauts on the International Space Station. NASA released a video on June 28 showing huge plumes of smoke billowing up into an otherwise clear sky above the Rocky Mountains. Several fires have been burning nonstop in the region, including the out-of-control Waldo Canyon Fire that has consumed 15,517 acres so far.
An outbreak of wildfires in California’s Santa Barbara County has reached national news feeds and sparked Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger to declare a state of emergency after the crisis in Montecito, quelled late on Friday by response units, was followed by a growing emergency in Sylmar. For those affected and for those interested in following events more closely, we’ve assembled a collection of sites and services for reference and continuing updates.

LG G Pad tablet rumored to make an appearance at IFA 2013
It’s been a while since LG threw a slate on the market and even those weren’t among the most successful ones. Apparently, the South Korean company is preparing a new tablet, the LG G Pad, to be unveiled in September at IFA 2013 in Berlin, according to reports.
Those who claim to have knowledge of details concerning the LG G Pad talk about an 8.3-inch screen with 1920×1200 resolution, a quad-core processor, and 2GB of RAM. Additional rumors talk about a very thin form factor with minimal bezels and an aluminum back for reduced weight. It will allegedly be very pocketable despite the rather large-is form factor.
We’ll be in Berlin, as usual, and we’ll bring you all the juicy details, as we get them.


Burk says it will showcase its line of remote and monitoring control systems, including the ARC Plus, GSC3000, ARC-16 and VRC2500, in addition to new products such as PlusConnect and Watchband.
PlusConnect provides a link between the Harris Z series of transmitters and the Burk ARC Plus remote monitoring and control system. It brings more than 400 transmitter parameters on board the ARC Plus system without parallel wiring, allowing broadcasters to manage the transmitter, ancillary equipment and IT infrastructure on a single platform.
Burk’s Watchband remote receiver also will be featured. Watchband delivers station and market monitoring tools to managers, engineers and programming departments. Broadcasters can compare field intensity and audio levels across the entire band, as well as log audio streams for remote playback.
Additionally, Watchband provides playlist data based on logged RDS text, allowing programmers to compare rotations and sales managers to generate proof-of-performance for Radio Text ads.

By MADISEN KEAVY
SACRAMENTO, California (KOVR) — “There is no age limit on evil.” Those were words spoken against Senate Bill 94 by a California murder victim’s sister at the State Capitol in Sacramento on Tuesday. The comment came as part of a hearing for a bill that would allow convicted murderers who were sentenced to life without parole or the death penalty to petition for parole.
The “Recall and resentencing: special circumstances” bill was introduced by Senator Dave Cortese. The bill would allow convicted killers who have served 25 years of their sentence, and if the offense occurred before June 1990, to petition for parole. There are exceptions outlined in SB-94, which include that the person cannot be convicted of more than two homicides and cannot have any sexual offense convictions related to a killing.
Supporters say the killers deserve a chance to be free because they would be too old to be violent.
Individuals who are convicted of killing a peace officer would not be eligible if the bill passed.
“I think the misunderstanding on the part of the legislators who voted for it all made the same comment that this is a very narrowly tailored bill that will only apply to a few people in prison and that’s simply not the case,” said Placer County District Attorney Morgan Gire.
Gire said the notion that convicted murderers can change their ways due to their age or the idea that violent offenders are not able to commit violent crimes due to their age is not the case.

If you’ve found yourself in a tough spot financially in the last year, you’re far from alone. COVID has taken a toll on the finances of American adults, many of whom were already struggling to keep up. In September 2020, 61 percent of Americans surveyed said that their emergency savings wouldn’t last through the end of the year or that they had already run out of savings.
With the challenges of the last year remaining alive and well, you might find yourself reaching for credit cards or falling behind when unexpected costs arise. If you’re in a pinch and looking for an emergency loan, a Spotloan may be right for you.
A Spotloan is a short-term installment loan. Unlike a payday loan, you can pay back your Spotloan over time, rather than by your next pay period. And the timeframe is up to you, making Spotloans a significantly more convenient option during a financial emergency. After all, two weeks doesn’t give you much time to catch up.
You can decide if you want to pay back your loan within the next month, within four months, within six, or even within ten months from your approval. But don’t worry, if you choose a longer timeframe to be safe, and then you work things out sooner, you can pay your loan off early without being charged any prepayment penalties. This means that if you pay your loan back early, you’ll save money.
Qualifying for a Spotloan is simple. There are only four requirements:
Once you’ve finished your online loan application, in most cases you’ll know right away if you qualify and whether or not you have been approved. If you don’t qualify right away, we may ask you for more information such as a copy of a voided check. Approvals are usually given within a few minutes; we won’t make you wait 24 hours or several days to find out if you’ll receive assistance or not.
The application for a Spotloan is fairly quick and easy. Most applicants finish their online application within 10 minutes, less than the average lunch break. In most cases, you’ll know within a few minutes whether or not you’ve been approved. Depending on the time of day that you receive and accept your loan terms, you may have the funds in your account before the day is through.
To be eligible for same-day funding, you have to accept your loan terms by 10 a.m. Monday through Friday. If you accept your loan terms between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, the funds will go out overnight. And if you accept your loan terms after 10 a.m. Friday through Sunday, your funds will be available on Monday morning.
When it comes time to repay your Spotloan, you have several convenient repayment options:
Automatic debit withdrawals from your checking account make it easier not to miss a payment. But we also accept over-the-phone debit card payments or mailed checks and money orders in case that’s more convenient for you. Keep in mind that it takes two business days to process any changes made to your payment schedule. Generally, it’s best to plan ahead so you can avoid additional fees or missed payments.
We are available six days per week to ensure that we are there when our customers need us. Our phone support hours are as follows:
Spotloans are meant more for emergencies than everyday spending. Our maximum Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is 490% and starting with the second loan, approved applicants will receive a lower APR. The APR expresses the cost of the loan as a percentage of the amount borrowed converted to an annual rate. Our terms are generally more favorable than payday loans, but you may be able to receive better terms through your regular bank, credit cards, or generous friends and family. We encourage you to check with them before you apply for a Spotloan.

We are fighting a war of space in the GME, one of the last major wildlife refuges on Earth. Most famous for its annual migration of nearly two million wildebeest and zebra, the ecosystem is also home to an estimated 40% of Africa’s large mammal species yet covers only 0.1% of the continent’s land surface. In the Kenya portion of the ecosystem, people and wildlife peacefully co-existed when space for both did not overlap; however, as the human footprint has grown, the rangeland demand for livestock and farming has increased, pushing wild animals into smaller areas. While poaching emerged as the number one threat to elephants in 2012, when 96 elephants were killed for their ivory, now, the expansion of the human footprint resulting in increased conflict and habitat loss is the crisis the Mara faces.

A list on Walmart’s website offers a refurbished Quest 2 headset at its lowest price yet, with a few caveats.
The first caveat, of course, is that this is a refurbished standalone VR headset, which means that this hardware was most likely returned to Meta / Facebook / Oculus, for what could be a number of reasons, and is now being resold. These may include previous demo headsets, opened headsets that were returned, or headsets with defective parts that have been replaced and repaired with similar new parts. In any case, refurbished headsets should appear and function like new. Previously, Facebook tested the price of $ 199 for a refurbished original Quest, where the program ensured that there were no visible cosmetic imperfections, no scratches and a 6-month warranty. The refurbished Quest 2 listing on the Walmart site still mentions an “Oculus Limited Warranty one (1) year from the date of purchase or delivery of the Product, whichever is later”
Previously refurbished headsets were sold directly on the Oculus page, but this Quest 2 refurbished offering has only been seen at Walmart.
These 64GB refurbished Quest 2s are the lowest priced version of the headset we’ve seen since release – a whopping $ 100 below the $ 299 base model price when sold as new. Keep in mind that while this refurbished Quest 2 may be cheaper than a brand new system, it also has less storage space. These specific models are the old 64GB SKUs, now phased out of the Quest 2 series and replaced by the updated 128GB model for the same base price of $ 299. So while paying $ 100 less, you also get less storage space than a new base Quest 2 model.
For some people, 64GB of storage may not be an issue, but it’s definitely something to consider as Quest 2 games get bigger and bigger in size. Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond hardly fits 64GB Quest 2 and takes up 41GB of space – when you include the storage space occupied by the system software, it does not leave room for much else. Likewise, Resident Evil 4 VR and The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners take up 12 GB of space each. If you want to install a lot of Quest 2’s major software draws (and even upcoming mega-titles like GTA: San Andreas) at the same time, then you might want to consider going for a bigger brand new 128GB Quest 2 or even the top end 256GB version priced at $ 399 new.
As the 64 GB models have now been discontinued, these refurbished models may only be available in a limited number. It’s been a little over a year since the 64GB Quest 2 model was launched, so there’s a chance we’ll see refurbished 128GB models later. The original Quest headset was launched in May 2019, but refurbished models for $ 199 only became available in February this year – almost two years after launch.
You can buy the refurbished 64GB Quest 2 from Walmart for $ 199 while stocks last.

The Polish Ministry of Defence has announced plans to purchase two second-hand submarines from Sweden.
The vessels are intended to replace the country’s ageing pair of Kobben-class Type 207 submarines, which have been in service for 50 years.
“We have completed the analytical process, as a result of which we concluded that a bridging ability should be ensured when it comes to submarines,” Minister of National Defence Mariusz Błaszczak said on 28 November. “The analysis indicated that the most advantageous is co-operation with a Swedish partner. We have already begun negotiations on obtaining this bridging capacity,” he said.
Jane’s understand that Poland is interested in the acquisition of Sweden’s two Södermanland-class submarines, Södermanland and Östergötland .

Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
(Haven't been on here in about a year. Will update
Well, I'm currently 25 years old, can successfully do laundry, make
pasta and pay rent. I'm pretty sure that warrants some applause.
Seriously... I'll wait.

and moved down here after college. I'm loving Texas so far, but
it's tough to get to know people outside of work so... here I
I'm passionate about food, friends, family and fun. And using
consonance. I love staying fit, and have always been into sports
since I was a kid. I've played soccer since I was 4, and am a huge
fan of it, as well as football, hockey and baseball. I also played
basketball and ran track and xc in school. I have also done 2 tough
mudders, with a third planned in October, and love crossfit as
What I’m doing with my life
Don’t overthink this one; tell us what you’re doing day-to-day.
What, that's not a big deal? Ugh. Ask and I'll tell you!
I’m really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won’t judge.
Well, let's see here... I'd say I'm pretty good at being awesome.
Oh, and modest. I'm the best at being modest.
The first things people usually notice about me
I’m an empty essay… fill me out!
Probably the gorgeous blue eyes. That, or that I don't take myself
too seriously. I feel like life is more fun if you just go with the
flow and let yourself be, well, yourself. Don't worry about being
absolutely perfect in every way. If you're a decent person with a
few shreds of morals, dignity, respect and pride, everything seems
to work out alright.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
I love to read, though I haven't really gotten my hands on anything
that good recently. Favorites would have to be things like The
Outsiders, the Lance Armstrong Biography (It's Not About the Bike),
and several others. And yes, I also have read all of the Harry
Potter books (except the last one. Someone spoiled the ending and
I've never had the will to read it ever since), and like them
As far as movies go, I love comedies and action movies. Forgetting
Sarah Marshall, The Hangover, Dodgeball are three of the top 5
comedies for me (it changes almost daily) and Independence Day, The
Avengers and Braveheart are 3 of the top 5 action. I'm always up
for a good movie, so if there's something I'm blatantly missing,
let me know!

the wonderful DFW area, or just relaxing with a beer and playing

You can’t just load up a bunch of phone numbers into a database and start calling them. There are laws. Don’t break them.
Our automated outbound calls fall into three categories which I’ll cover in follow up posts. For now, I wanted to touch on some information anyone should know about before hooking up an application to make phone calls. Particularly when it comes to telemarketing and autodialed calls.
Back in 1991, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act was passed. It restricts phone solicitations and the use of automated dialing. It covers SMS messaging and faxing in addition to normal voice calls.
Here are some of the primary restrictions. There are more, so don’t take this as a complete list.
Don’t call anyone before 8am or after 9pm. If you do business across time zones, you need to deal with that.
You need to maintain you’re own do not call list. If someone asks to be put on it, add their number. You have to honor it for at least five years.
Tell people who you are and your phone number or address.
Don’t call emergency lines or anyone who’d be charged for your phone call.
Don’t call cell phones without prior written consent. That’s right, you’re not allowed to make unsolicited calls to cell phones. Period.
As I said above, there are a lot of other rules.
If you break any of the above rules, you can get taken to court.
National Do Not Call Registry
The Do Not Call Registry allows anyone to register their phone number. Telemarketers are never supposed to call any registered number unless the person has given you permission.
You can register to access this database, either via an API or as a downloadable list at the Do Not Call Registry Telemarketer site.
Not all calls are unsolicited calls. You may just being trying to confirm a scheduled appointment. Regardless, you want to be courteous to the people you call.
Don’t make excessive calls.
If you get voicemail, and leave a message, give the person some time to respond. Don’t call back every five minutes until you reach someone.
If you talk to someone who requests a call back in three months, you should respect their request. Leave them alone for those three months.
What is a Robocall?
Robocalls include automated phone calls made using autodialers. This includes calls that only contain pre-recorded messages and those where you speak to a live person.
What is an Autodialer?
Any type of equipment or computer software that dials phone numbers without human intervention.
How can you determine if a phone number is a landline or a cell phone?
A variety of sources exist to assist businesses and telemarketers to tell if a number is a mobile number.

An enthusiastic welcome greeted future plans for St Albans City Hospital (SACH) at a public meeting for residents to hear what the proposals were.
But they heard there was still some way to go before the future of the city’s hospital is secured and its services improved for the public.
The public meeting at the district council offices was hosted by St Albans and Harpenden Patient Group (SAPG) with support from councillors including the chair of its health and wellbeing partnership, Cllr Robert Donald.
Cameron Ward and David Owens of the Herts Valleys Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), and Helen Brown of the West Herts Hospitals Trust (WHHT), which runs St Albans City, spoke to a power-point presentation that included the latest thinking about the future of SACH.
The first phase of their review, Your Care, Your Future, which has been looking at options for enhancing emergency and acute care in West Herts has opted for emergency and specialised care to be carried out at Watford General while planned care and diagnostic work takes place at City Hospital.

A proposal for a new hospital to be built at a central location, which had received strong support from other parts of West Herts, is unlikely to proceed.
The meeting heard that not only would SACH be developed as a centre for planned care and cancer treatment but the CCG and WHHT hope to provide a wide range of diagnostics, including MRI and CT scans, endoscopy, and - subject to confirmation - day case and low to medium risk surgery.

It is envisaged that SACH would focus on particular surgical specialities, including orthopaedics, urology and gynaecology,
As new buildings would be required, the plan is to provide them on the inner part of the site, furthest from Waverley Road, with car parking problems eased by the building of a two-level car park instead of the existing ground level one.
But the recommendations in Your Care, Your Future have to be approved by the cash-strapped NHS and a lot will depend on whether there is enough money available.
John Wigley, chair of SAPG, said the proposals had received an enthusiastic welcome at the meeting and residents had made it clear to the speakers what they hoped to see developed at the hospital.
He commented: “The meeting had focused on some of the most important developments ever for the NHS in St. Albans and had reassured its citizens about the future of their hospital.”


The Korean government has a plan to build a new regional satellite navigation system called the Korean Positioning System (KPS). The initial KPS constellation is designed to consist of seven satellites, which include three geostationary Earth orbit (GEO) satellites and four inclined geosynchronous orbit (IGSO) satellites. KPS will provide an independent positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) service in the Asia-Oceania region and can also be compatible with GPS. In the simulation for KPS, we employ 24 GPS as designed initially and 7 KPS satellites. Compared to the true orbit that we simulated, the averaged root mean square (RMS) values of orbit-only signal-in-space ranging errors (SISRE) are approximately 4.3 and 3.9 cm for KPS GEO and IGSO. Two different positioning solutions are analyzed to demonstrate the KPS performance. KPS standard point positioning (SPP) errors in the service area are about 4.7, 3.9, and 7.1 m for east (E), north (N), and up (U) components, respectively. The combined KPS+GPS SPP accuracy can be improved by 25.0%, 31.8%, and 35.0% compared to GPS in E, N, and U components. The averaged position errors for KPS kinematic precise point positioning (KPPP) are less than 10 cm. In the fringe of the KPS service area, however, the position RMS errors can reach about 40 cm. Unlike KPS, GPS solutions show high positioning accuracy in the KPS service area. The combined KPS+GPS can be improved by 28.7%, 27.1%, and 30.5% compared to GPS in E, N, and U components, respectively. It is noted that KPS can provide better performance with GPS in the Asia-Oceania region.
