When you see a neighborhood for the first time, the most important thing
is often the way it looks, like its homes and its setting. Some places look
the same, but they only reveal their true character after living in them for
a while because they contain a unique mix of occupational or cultural groups.
This neighborhood is very unique in some important ways, according to
NeighborhoodScout's exclusive exploration and analysis.
Notable & Unique: Real Estate
Belle Haven is a neighborhood that is on the ocean, a bay, or inlet.
Many times, such places have amenities that bring locals and visitors to the
waterfront for recreational activities or to check out the scenery.
In some densely populated areas that are less financially well-off, the neighborhood
waterfront can be relatively industrial and less open to recreation.
In addition to being coastal, Belle Haven is a very nautical neighborhood,
meaning that it is somewhat historic, walkable, densely populated and
on the water. This gives the neighborhood a very nautical feel,
with some seaside and shipping feel, which some may really enjoy the sights
and sounds of.
Notable & Unique: People
Wealth makes most things in life easier, and a few things harder.
If you are wealthy and enjoy keeping up with the Jones', this neighborhood
will interest you. In fact, according to NeighborhoodScout's research,
the Belle Haven neighborhood is wealthier than 99.9%
of the neighborhoods in the United States. Residents here are truly in
a unique situation even when compared to other Americans, based on the
sheer amount of wealth concentrated here. Even in times of economic
downturn, residents of this neighborhood, as a group, suffered less
and recovered more quickly. This is indeed a stand-out characteristic
of this neighborhood.
In addition, a majority of the adults in the Belle Haven neighborhood
are wealthy and educated executives. They own stately
homes that tend to maintain high real estate appreciation rates. Their
upper-level careers keep them busy, but allow them to live comfortably.
If you're an executive and want to keep similar company, consider settling
in this neighborhood, rated as an executive lifestyle
"best choice" neighborhood for Connecticut by NeighborhoodScout's analysis,
which rated it as better for executive lifestyles than 98.9%
of the neighborhoods in Connecticut.
In addition to being an excellent choice for active retirees, this
neighborhood is also a very good choice for highly educated executives and urban sophisticates.
Also, some neighborhoods have residents that are more educated than others. But
in this neighborhood there is a dramatic difference. NeighborhoodScout's
exclusive analysis reveals that 40.1% of the adults here have
earned a Masters degree, medical degree, Ph.D. or law degree. This is a
higher rate of people with a graduate degree than is found in
98.4% of U.S. neighborhoods, where the average American
neighborhood has 8.4% of its adults with a graduate degree. If you are
highly educated, you may have much in common with many of your neighbors here.
Finally, astoundingly, NeighborhoodScout's research reveals that this single
neighborhood has a higher concentration of married couples living here
than 97.3% of all U.S. neighborhoods. Whether they have
school-aged children or not, married couples are the rule in the
Belle Haven neighborhood. If you are a married couple, you may find many
people here with a similar lifestyle, and perhaps common interests. But if
you are single, you might not find many other singles here.
Notable & Unique: Diversity
Did you know that the Belle Haven neighborhood has more
Romanian and Canadian ancestry people living in it than nearly
any neighborhood in America? It's true! In fact, 8.3% of
this neighborhood's residents have Romanian ancestry and 3.6% have Canadian ancestry.
Belle Haven is also pretty special linguistically. Significantly, 8.6% of its residents five years old and above primarily
speak Polish at home. While this may seem like a small percentage, it is higher
than 99.7% of the neighborhoods in America.
Notable & Unique: Occupations
Executives, managers and professionals make up 66.6% of the workforce
in the Belle Haven neighborhood which, according to
NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis, is a higher proportion of such
high-level people than is found in 97.0% of the neighborhoods
in America. For this reason, this neighborhood really stands out as unique.
Notable & Unique: Car Ownership
We Americans love our cars. Not only are they a necessity for most Americans
due to the shape of our neighborhoods and the distances between where we
live, work, shop, and go to school, but we also fancy them. As a result,
most households in America have one, two, or three cars. But NeighborhoodScout's
exclusive analysis shows that the Belle Haven neighborhood has
a highly unusual pattern of car ownership.
Residents of this neighborhood must really love automobiles. NeighborhoodScout's
Analysis reveals that 39.2% of the households here have four, five,
or more cars. That is more cars per household than in 96.4% of
the neighborhoods in the nation.
Notable & Unique: Modes of Transportation
In the Belle Haven neighborhood, 17.4% of people
ride the train to work each day. This is a very high percentage compared
to most places. In fact, NeighborhoodScout's analysis reveals that this
is a higher level of train ridership than in 96.1% of the
neighborhoods in America.

Modern cars: Model building that makes secret dreams come true
Model builders don't have to wait for the six in the lottery to fulfill their dream of a sporty speedster or a fancy luxury car. They build their own favourite. Revell has a large selection of models of modern cars, so in this Motor Show hardly any wishes remain open.
Even unusual models like the Dodge Viper can be admired here. The vehicle is regarded as a symbol of US-American muscle cars. The model that Revell has added to its range is the same as the one from 2008. With a 600 hp engine, the vehicle is designed for racing. However, it is also approved for road traffic. The 1 : 25 scale model is recommended for experienced model builders. It consists of 103 parts with a length of 139 mm. The painting with the original colors requires extreme precision. The effort is worth it.
It is a bit easier to build the McLaren 570S model. The result is still impressive. The body of the lively racing car is multi-part. The hobbyist can decide for himself whether he wants to display the doors open or closed. In addition, the model can optionally be built as right or left-hand drive.
Which model kit is best suited?
If you are looking for a kit for the first time in the category of modern cars, you should not only look for your preferred car brand and your dream model. In the description of each Revell model set the difficulty level is indicated. For hobbyists who have little experience in model building, a level up to a maximum of 3 is recommended. Experienced hobbyists can master models with a higher level.
Young hobbyists can build their first Audi R8 and gain valuable experience in an exciting hobby. The model of the mid-engine sports car makes it easy to achieve success. The parts of the kit are already separated and can simply be plugged together. The wheels of the robust model can be rotated. This turns the first model into a favourite toy - the race in the children's room can begin.
Discover new model kits
Model builders are always looking for new challenges. The developers at Revell know this and are always bringing new models onto the market. So it's worth visiting the online shop regularly. New models of modern cars like the Ford Mustang GT are marked in red in the overview. The model of the sports car in retro design has everything that car lovers appreciate. The separate bonnet conceals a multi-part V8 engine. The original engine produces 319 hp on the road.
Those who prefer it a little more robust and sturdy will like the new model of the Ford F-150 XL. This model represents the tenth generation of the millionfold sold pick-up. In a visual comparison with the predecessor models, the rounded front section catches the eye. This model also has a multi-part engine and rotating wheels. The hobbyist decides whether his F-150 XLT is approved in the USA, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Austria, France, the Netherlands or Switzerland. There are decals of each of these countries with the relevant license plates.

Using novel firm-level data on employment quality in an international sample of M&A deals, this paper investigates the cost-benefit trade-off faced by acquirers when providing generous employment policies. We find that shareholders react more positively to deal announcements by acquirers providing generous employee incentives when the deal is domestic, but negatively when the deal is cross-border. These effects are primarily driven by the provision of monetary incentives and are strongest for firms in skilled industries. We argue that generous employment policies increase synergy gains and reduce labor adjustment costs in a domestic takeover. In cross-border deals, however, costs associated with managing employee policies across borders and lack of opportunities for eliminating work duplication negatively affect acquirer returns. Nevertheless, we find that country-specific acquisition experience can mitigate these negative effects. Our results cannot be explained by country-level labor regulations or by target-level employment policies.

Climate Resilience Grant
The mission of the NH Conservation Districts Climate Resilience Grant is to support and empower local farmers to build climate resilience throughout the Granite State.
This will be done through reducing the impact of agriculture on climate change (mitigation) through greenhouse gas emissions reduction and carbon sequestration, and to increasing the resiliency of New Hampshire Farms in a changing climate (adaptation), while meeting farm’s conservation goals and needs. Extreme weather events, frequent and prolonged droughts, and increased pest pressures are increasing challenges for NH farms.
This grant though the NH County Conservation Districts seeks to support farmers in meeting those challenges.
Since 2022, the NH Conservation Districts Climate Resilience Grant has distributed $50,000 to 12 farms across New Hampshire!

The 10 New Hampshire Conservation Districts are thrilled to announce the second grant round of the NH Conservation Districts Climate Resilience Grant.
The NH County Conservation Districts have launched this farm viability program to improve the resilience of NH farms in the face of extreme weather events and a changing climate. Direct grants to farms to invest in on-farm infrastructure, equipment, and innovative practices will support farm profitability and the long-term viability for NH’s agricultural sector.
This grant program was designed with a high level of farmer input to ensure the most pressing needs of farms will be met. The NH Conservation Districts have also worked in close partnership with the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and other conservation partners to ensure that this statewide program fills the gaps that are not being adequately met by federal funds.
Funds are available for projects that mitigate the impact of agriculture on climate change and enhance the on-farm adaptations to projected climate conditions. Preference will be given to projects that can demonstrate strong potential in mitigation and adaptation.
2023 Sullivan County Recipients & Their Projects
Winter Street Farm, a reduced tillage four season vegetable production CSA, located in Claremont, NH, will purchase a mechanized soil screener and propane generator to increase their community composting program: reducing waste, fertilizer inputs, increasing soil health, and promoting carbon capture.
Beaver Pond Farm, located in Newport, NH, will be installing a drilled well to replace a vulnerable dug well that is used for livestock production and irrigation. Increasing drought periods over the last decade have made it difficult to support their rotational grazing program. Beaver Pond Farm produces maple, beef, hay, and vegetables as well as a pick your own raspberries, blueberries, and apples.
Dancing Bear Farm, a small demonstration farm in Claremont that combines livestock, education, and hospitality, are implementing a rotational grazing system based on Silvopasture practices. The grazing areas will be delineated by alleys of trees and shrubs, providing benefits to the animals, soil, viability and resiliency in a changing climate.
Hilltop Farm, located in Claremont, will be working with Solaflect Energy to mitigate climate change by transitioning to renewable energy on their farm. The farm will be installing a solar tracking system that will furnish up to 80% of Hilltop Farm's electricity. This should reduce the farm’s carbon footprint by 135 tons per year and supply solar energy to the grid. Hilltop Farm maintains a herd of 100% grass fed, pasture raised beef cattle following organic best practices. They also raise chickens for egg production.

Senate VA committee passes Sen. Moran’s Legislation for Veteran Health Care
WASHINGTON — The Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee voted to pass U.S. Senator Jerry Moran’s (R-Kan.) Guaranteeing Healthcare Access to Personnel Who Served (GHAPS) Act.
The act aims to fix “gaps in veteran health care to ensure the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is serving vets in hard-to-reach places”, according to the press release.
This legislation would close VA health care gaps by:
Incorporating access standards for community care delivery to make certain veterans receive timely care in the community across the Community Care Network.
Directing VA to create a telehealth strategic plan to ensure the department is deploying virtual care thoughtfully and utilizing innovative solutions to deliver telehealth to rural veterans.
Ensuring all veterans with treatment-resistant depression have access to the necessary evidence-based care to put them on the path to recovery.
Cutting red tape for VA research by removing the Paperwork Reduction Act requirements, ensuring veterans benefit from more timely research-informed care.
Directing Government Accountability Office to produce a report on the Foreign Medical Program to evaluate whether the program is adequately meeting the needs of overseas veterans.
This legislation is co-sponsored by Sens. John Boozman (R-Ark.), Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-La.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) and John Hoeven (R-N.D.).
“While I believe the MISSION Act access standards used to determine eligibility are working, I agreed to remove the provision in the bill to codify these standards as the department works to carry out its assessment of the eligibility access standards, as mandated by MISSION,” … “While I still believe that codification of MISSION’s eligibility standards that veterans have come to rely on is the right course of action, I am pleased that the bill still includes language that would ensure veterans can receive timely community care. I will continue working to pass the GHAPS Act in the Senate to make certain our veterans continue to have access to the programs that are working for them no matter where they live.”

The Sunshine Skyway Bridge pier in Tampa
Bay is touted as the longest fishing pier in the world. Formed from what was left of the old bridge when the new one was built, this Florida Pier
allows fishermen to park their cars just a few feet away from their favorite fishing spot. The Skyway State Fishing Pier
is open 24 hours a day, year-round, and lighted at night so that fishermen can see what their doing; as you may or may not know, lighting up the area after the sun goes down also attracts fish to it after nightfall.
Some fish commonly caught from the pier are: cobia, pompano, grouper, black sea bass, red snapper, Spanish mackerel, king mackerel, sheepshead, tarpon, snook and several others. Fishing supplies, bait, tackle, drinks and snacks are available, as well as the ability to obtain a free copy of the latest fishing regulations. There is, however, a small fee to fish or even sight see at the bridge pier. Many people do get the inspiration to just stop to take a few pictures as they cross the bridge; it's a spectacular view. Other activities enjoyed around the pier include kayaking, swimming, wading, kite surfing and other misc water activities. People also come out to watch magnificent sunrises and sunsets. During the day, it is also possible to spot a ray floating through the water or watch a pod of dolphin as they go playing by.
About The Sunshine Skyway Bridge
The Sunshine Skyway Bridge spans across Florida's Tampa Bay, with a cable-stayed main span and a length of 29,040 feet; exactly 5.5 miles. Its part of I-275 and US 19, which connects St. Petersburg
in Pinellas County and Terra Ceia in Manatee County, and passes through Hillsborough County waters.
The first Sunshine Skyway bridge span opened in 1954; the 15 mile long crossing ran from St. Petersburg to Bradenton and had lengthy approach causeways on both sides, leading to a steep cantilever-truss crossing above the Tampa Bay ship channel. Increasing traffic across the two-lane span spurred the construction of a second parallel span which was completed in 1971, giving the bridges two lanes in each direction.
Construction of the current bridge began in 1982; the new "cable-stay" bridge is truly beautiful and was dedicated on February 7, 1987. The new bridge cost over $240 million to build, and was opened to traffic on April 20, 1987. It is constructed of steel and concrete with a main span of 1200 feet and a vertical clearance of 193 feet. Twenty-one steel cables in cased in nine-inch steel tubes along the center line of the bridge support the structure. It is equipped with a bridge protection system that has 36 large concrete bumpers, called dolphins, which are built to withstand an impact from any stray ships in the area of the bridges piers. At night, strategically placed lights add an additional touch of beauty.
The current bridge replaces an older bridge constructed in 1954, which was partly destroyed due to a collision in 1980.
In May of 1980, there was the collision between the freighter Capricorn and the Coast Guard cutter USS Blackthorn; twenty-three crew members aboard the Blackthorn were killed. Along with this, there were four other incidences where freighters or barges came into contact with the bridge, resulting in minor damages, but necessitating that something be done.
In September, 1994, the Florida Legislature passed an act, officially naming the current bridge the Bob Graham Sunshine Skyway Bridge, who suggested the idea for this bridge after a trip to France where he saw a similar cable-stayed bridge and liked it so much he recommend it be done here. The original bridge was dedicated to state engineer William E Dean, with a plaque at the south rest area of the bridge.
The Travel Channel rated the Sunshine Skyway #3 on the "Top 10 Bridges" in the World, and it's considered the "flag bridge" of Florida. If you find yourself going over the bridge one day, stop and take a moment to get out and enjoy the view; you may spot a passing boat or even a dolphin playing in the water. You may get to enjoy watching someone reeling in a snapper or another species of fish common in the area, or possibly even get the chance to toss a line in yourself, its one of the most fun things to do in Florida
. Many people do fish from the old bridge that is still there, as it is a very popular local fishing spot
, so feel free to join them.

Loneliness could increase your chances of developing type 2 diabetes, according to a new report.
New research has shown for the first time that people over 50 who report higher levels of loneliness are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes later in life.
Most people have not spent this much time alone since the start of the pandemic and consequent lockdowns. Meanwhile, diabetes continues to be a huge issue in the UK, with more than 4 million people now living with the condition, compared with just 1.8million in 1998.
Around 90 per cent of people with diabetes have type 2. Recently, efforts have been introduced to prevent rising cases of diabetes, following findings that people with the condition can develop serious complications and more severe symptoms – putting them at greater risk of dying from COVID-19.
It’s highly likely that people will continue to feel lonely for the foreseeable future as the lockdown and tighter restrictions become re-introduced. As these are unlikely to disappear anytime soon, it has never been more important to introduce lifestyle changes that will help manage healthy blood sugar levels (including preventing people developing the condition and minimising the conditions chance of affecting people who already have it).
Therefore, we spoke to Dr Sarah Brewer, working in association with CuraLin, a natural supplement which helps to balance glucose levels, to get her top lifestyle tips to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
Here, Dr Brewer shares her advice for those with concerns about their glucose levels, people who have noticed an imbalance in their glucose levels and those who already have 2 diabetes:
5 ways to manage your blood sugar levels during lockdown
Keep a healthy routine
It’s important to stick to a healthy routine and keep occupied, especially if you’re staying at home more. If you exercise regularly and follow a healthy diet you should see your glucose control improve. In those who are overweight or obese, a weight loss of greater than 5% body weight appears necessary for beneficial effects on glucose control (HbA1c), blood lipids (cholesterol, triglycerides) and blood pressure.
What you choose to eat is imperative for your health, especially if you want to keep blood sugar levels stable. Replace some carbohydrates in your diet with healthy monounsaturated fats (eg in olive oil, avocado, almonds, macadamia nuts) and omega-3 fatty acids (eg from oily fish and walnuts). This simple approach can significantly improve glucose control.
Eat fruit as a healthy snack. Although fruit contains natural sugars, most have a low to moderate glycaemic index and do not raise blood glucose levels excessively (though don’t over-indulge in dried fruits).
We Brits generally love a cuppa and it can have beneficial effects on glucose control! Tea – whether black, green or oolong – contains antioxidants that increase increasing insulin sensitivity, suppress appetite through effects on hormones such as ghrelin and adiponectin, stimulate fat burning to generate heat and aid weight loss, and have beneficial effects on the liver to decrease glucose and fatty acid synthesis.
Stay occupied because boredom can lead to snacking and comfort eating, which can wreak havoc with your blood sugar levels.

Many boys and girls enjoy superheroes. A superhero-themed room can be a welcome addition that can stay in his memory throughout adulthood. Designing a superhero-themed room isn't difficult. With a little imagination and research, you'll create a "super friend" environment with your child that will help him feel safe and inspired.
- Skill level:

Things you need
- Action figures
- Superhero bedding
- Life-size Cutouts
Paint the walls in the colours of your child's favourite superhero. For example, red and blue with yellow accents for Superman---grey, black and yellow for Batman---red and blue for Spiderman. Alternatively, paint the walls a single flat colour and paint various superhero figures on the walls with stencils.
Select a variety of superhero and super villain posters. Hang the posters around the room, matching superheroes to the villains they fight. Arranging the posters this way helps tell a superhero story your child can look at as she goes to sleep each night.
Hang wooden shelves around the room and line them with superhero and super villain action figures. Mix the action figures or arrange them according to the corporation that creates them---such as the D.C. Universe and the Marvel Universe.
Buy life-size cardboard superhero cutouts. You can find these at movie-themed retail stores or comic stores. You can also purchase large cutouts at auction websites. Set up the life-size cutouts around the room so your child's favourite superheroes watch over him every night.
Purchase your child's favourite superhero bedding. Sheets, bedspreads and pillow cases featuring her favourite superhero will add the perfect finishing touch to a superhero bedroom.
Add lighting to help enhance the theme of the superhero room. Use a light cover over your child's light that creates the emblem of your child's favourite hero on the ceiling or wall. Alternatively, coloured light bulbs that match the main colour of your child's favourite superhero's outfit can give the room more hero-specific personality.

If you’re wondering what will happen when you stop breastfeeding, I hope my words will give you some insight and provide some much-needed comfort. It’a highly emotional process, and for my daughter and I, our weaning took several months. We didn’t just stop breastfeeding. It was an ongoing thing.
We’d stop, and we’d start again. We’d had enough, and then we needed more again. We thought we were done with it, and then we realized we needed the comfort again.
Let me tell you, it’s not easy to stop breastfeeding. There is so much emotion, love and attachment involved. In the same turn, breastfeeding can drain you (no pun intended); emotionally, physically and mentally.
There were times when I wanted to give up and throw in the nursing bra. And there were times where it was all I wanted to do. I just wanted to get cozy with my little girl, peering into each other’s souls and just breastfeed.
Below are some words I wrote when my daughter and I ended our breastfeeding journey.
Our Breastfeeding Journey Has Come to a Bittersweet End
Oh my heart. This sweet little girl and I completed our breastfeeding journey a few months ago.
16 months of nursing my babe.
They were the most heartfelt.
They were the most trying.
As a I write this I feel good. I’m smiling. My heart feels warm.
Do I miss breastfeeding?
I miss the connection.
I miss the intimacy.
I miss the endless cuddles.
I miss being her hero.
Do I miss breastfeeding?
I’m loving having my freedom back. Breastfeeding is time-consuming AF!
My nipples are not sore from toddler nibbles.
I don’t have to pump.
My breasts have shrunk some (thank gawd!).
I don’t have to wear nursing bras.
My shirts are no longer stretched at the neck/
My breast are mine once again.
I can go on.
I cried numerous times as she weaned herself. I cried when she went on a nursing strike (yes, those exist). I didn’t cry when our breastfeeding journey came to an end. Well, not right away. It took a month. It was a bittersweet release.
We connect in new ways.
We are closer than ever.
We cuddle even more now.
I will always be her hero, and so will Daddy.
This past month Victoria has taken an interest in “boo” again, especially when I change in front of her. She runs to my legs, does a quick burrow and says “hi. Boo? Boo?” It is so damn adorable.
I smile at her and say “all done, baby.” She giggle and runs around saying “all done! all done!” and resumes playing with her toys.
We may be all done, but all that same love is still there.


We fix these bricks all the time on the LSA platform
We wanted to show you our test rig we have setup which allows us to pressure test each brick, push the bowed end tank back out with about 20psi of air pressure and a little heat from a blow torch.
We then strengthen the end tank by welding a plate to the center and all corners of the brick.
The brick is then much stronger and the end tank is unable to bow anymore.
After welding we then pressure test the core checking for any leaks.
We first noticed this issue on our own car where we were originally crossing the finish line around 40-45c IAT2 then all of a sudden it jumped up to 90c at this point we found the end tank had collapsed.
If you own an LSA you need to fix this issue.
Strengthen your LSA intercooler brick today for $230 AUD
If you are a workshop get in touch we can make this same test rig for you to repair bricks for your customers on site, the cost is only $285 AUD

Nearly a year after releasing a prototype, The New York Times has announced that its redesigned website will go live on Jan. 8, with previews starting for some users on Thursday.
“These improvements give our newsroom the best tools to publish in all digital forms,” said Executive Editor Jill Abramson. “With more prominent video and photography, the new features are highly immersive and enhance our readers’ ability to share and comment throughout articles."
What to expect, per the news release: "A cleaner, more engaging look ... Richer integration of photography, video and interactive story elements ... More efficient navigation and improved ability to scan and discover content ... Improved comments with ability to read articles and comments side-by-side," among other things.


Axis Communications has entered the physical access control market by introducing a network door controller with built-in Web-based software. The AXIS A1001 Network Door Controller is a complement to Axis’ existing portfolio of network video products and creates unique integration possibilities for partners and end users.
“Bringing product innovation to the physical access control market is a natural step in Axis’ development as there is a strong connection between access control and video surveillance. As the market leader in network cameras, Axis plays an important role in driving convergence to IP-based products in video surveillance. We now apply that expertise in IP technology to the physical access control market in the same way. The physical access control market is primed to make the shift to open IP technology,” said Ray Mauritsson, President and CEO, Axis Communications.
AXIS A1001 Network Door Controller is the first non-proprietary and open IP-based access controller on the market. It is a platform for two different solutions. AXIS Entry Manager (AXIS A1001 with built in software) is a ready-made solution for small- to mid-sized businesses – such as offices, industries and retail stores – with typically 10 doors and basic access control requirements.
For larger enterprise systems, AXIS A1001’s open application programming interface enables Axis’ Application Development Partners (ADP) to meet specific customer requirements. Initially, Axis ADP partners Aimetis, Genetec, IMRON, Milestone Systems, Next Level Security Systems and OnSSI are engaged in the development of solutions, which include video integration and advanced access control functionality.
Initially, Axis launches AXIS A1001 Network Door Controller in the US market in Q4 in 2013. The United States was an early adopter of network video technology and is also a huge market for physical access control. The value of the global physical access control market is about USD 3 billion (2012) and will increase to approximately USD 4.2 billion by 2017, which represents an annual growth of 7 percent, according to market research firm IHS.
“Although we now enter the physical access control market, our focus will continue to be on network video products. We expect physical access control sales to represent a small, but important, part of our total business,” said Mauritsson.
Further features of the AXIS A1001 Network Door Controller include:
* Open architecture that allows easy integration of video, intrusion detection and other systems.
* Support for Power over Ethernet to reduce the need for separate power cables and proprietary cables.
* Cardholder data and system configurations are automatically stored and synchronised between controllers and the units can be managed from any computer in the system.
* Enabler for an ‘edge’ solution with one controller for each door and a fixed price per door. It is fully scalable, eliminating the traditional central controller multiple of 4, 8, 16 or 32 doors.
* Support for most existing reader protocols and reader types, and standard IT and security equipment such as door locks and door position sensors.
* The installation wizard and the colour-coded connectors help users to complete the installation and verify that door locks, readers and other equipment are connected properly.
* The API is designed for compliance with ONVIF Profile C, which will enable interoperability between clients and devices of physical access control systems (PACS) and network-based video systems.
OnSSI integrates Axis
OnSSI announced at ASIS 2013 that the company’s Ocularis Video Management System is fully integrated with the newly announced AXIS A1001 Network Door Controller. The integration provides the ability for video surveillance and security operations at all levels to be seamlessly combined onto Ocularis’ platform. This allows users to monitor and control video surveillance and access control operations side-by-side when Ocularis and the new Axis solution are paired together.
The integration of Ocularis and AXIS A1001 allows critical video and access control data to be displayed side-by-side on the Ocularis platform, as opposed to viewing associated video with text overlays. This makes it easier for security personnel to monitor events in real-time, and provides an added level of security by visually matching access cardholders with live images to ascertain identities. This integration offers unique value by offering search engine functionality and statistical analysis of the access control events.
All access control events and alerts generated from AXIS A1001 are streamed directly to Ocularis. This includes real-time data of all entry access, guest/visitor privileges and violations such as tailgating. All cardholder information is synchronised, time stamped and stored with associated video by Ocularis for real-time monitoring and forensic searches. Integration of government and local watch lists, as well as restricted suppliers and employees are also enabled to deliver an advanced prevention solution. Detailed report generation is provided for all activities by individual cardholders as well as system wide.

Certainly, we have all loved to hear stories during our childhood. Moreover, unlike movies, stories allow the listener to create a world of their own. Hence, everything from the set where the story takes place to the characters in it are our imagination.
Likewise, stories are easily remembered and passed down through countless generations. As a result, we tend to share the stories we heard during our childhood to our kids and children. But, you surely aren’t here just to talk about stories.
Instead, you want to obtain the Story element in Little Alchemy 2. Whereas, worry not, we will guide you using the easiest method. That is, we will use Human and Hero as the key ingredients. So without further ado, let’s get working, shall we?
Walkthrough for Story in Little Alchemy 2
Step 1: Create Human
Above all, humans are the only beings who share stories. Whereas, most of the time, stories are all about extraordinary people talking about how they became so. Hence, it’s obvious why we require the Human element to obtain Story.
To clarify, you can obtain the Human element as shown below:
- Water + Water = Puddle
- Puddle + Water = Pond
- Pond + Water = Lake
- Lake + Water = Sea
- Sea + Earth = Primordial Soup
- Fire + Fire = Energy
- Energy + Primordial Soup = Life
- Earth + Water = Mud
- Earth + Fire = Lava
- Lava + Air = Stone
- Stone + Mud = Clay
- Clay + Life = Human
Now, let’s get ourselves a hero and create a story of our own.
Step 2: Create Hero
Further, it’s your choice what kind of hero you want for your story. Similarly, we will use the Lightning element to make our Human extraordinary. Afterward, we can easily obtain the Hero element.
That is, follow the below steps to obtain the Human element:
- Earth + Earth = Land
- Land + Land = Continent
- Continent + Continent = Planet
- Planet + Air = Atmosphere
- Atmosphere + Water = Cloud
- Cloud + Energy = Lightning
- Lightning + Human = Hero
Woo! We are just one step away from obtaining Hero. So, are you ready?
Step 3: Create Story
Nevertheless, it’s also time you think about a storyline that suits our Hero. And since we already have Human to share the stories, all we need to do is combine it with Hero to acquire the Story element.
Therefore, you can obtain the Story element as follows:
- Human + Hero = Story
Congrats! You have successfully created your own story.
Alternative Ways to Obtain Story
Likewise, how about we create more stories to share with the world? In fact, we can do so in a fun way using different elements.
For example, you can use the Campfire element to obtain Story as shown below:
- Human + Campfire = Story
In addition, it’s time we have more fun with the Story element.
Elements You Can Obtain Using Story
And if you are wondering how, we will be using it to obtain a bunch of new elements. Moreover, Little Alchemy 2 allows players to obtain new elements whenever they obtain a new element.
As a result, you can obtain the following list of elements using the Story element:
- Story + Antarctica = Yeti
- Story + Big = Legend
- Story + Broom = Witch
- Story + Castle = Fairy Tale
- Story + Cauldron = Witch
- Story + Christmas Stocking = Santa
- Story + Christmas Tree = Santa
- Story + Clay = Golem
- Story + Container = Book
- Story + Cookie Dough = Gingerbread Man
- Story + Cookie = Gingerbread Man
- Story + Corpse = Frankenstein’s Monster + Zombie
- Story + Cow = Minotaur
- Story + Cthulhu = Necronomicon
- Story + Dinosaur = Kaiju + Nessie
- Story + Dough = Gingerbread Man
- Story + Dragon = Fairy Tale
- Story + Fairy Tale = Legend
- Story + Garden = Gnome
- Story + Glacier = Yeti
- Story + Golem = Pinocchio
- Story + Grave = Ghost
- Story + Gravestone = Ghost
- Story + Horse = Centaur + Unicorn
- Story + Human = Hero + Philosophy
- Story + Knight = Fairy Tale
- Story + Lake = Nessie
- Story + Lizard = Dragon
- Story + Monarch = Fairy Tale
- Story + Mountain Range = Yeti
- Story + Mountain = Yeti
- Story + Night = Ghost
- Story + Paper = Newspaper
- Story + Snake = Medusa
- Story + Statue = Golem
- Story + Story = Legend
- Story + Sword = Excalibur
- Story + Time = Legend
- Story + Unicorn = Fairy Tale
- Story + Windmill = Don Quixote
- Story + Wood = Pinocchio
You do have some great alchemy skills, so how about you keep exploring?
As we talked about before, Little Alchemy 2 is all about exploring its world. And, the only way to do so is by performing new combinations. Whereas, you need new elements to perform new combinations. So, don’t stop discovering new elements, adventurer!

On Tuesday, Justice Office lawyers alerted the U.S. Court docket of Appeals for the 8th Circuit — which is weighing an injunction in opposition to the forgiveness system — to a letter MOHELA despatched Bush previous 7 days clarifying that it performed no job in the selection by Missouri Lawyer Typical Eric Schmitt (R) to sue.
“The only communications among MOHELA and [the Missouri attorney general’s office] as it relates to university student personal debt reduction, is that the Workplace not long ago submitted a series of sunshine regulation requests on MOHELA trying to find copies of files relative to MOHELA’s federal personal loan servicing contract,” the firm wrote in its letter to Bush.
The lawsuit submitted by Schmitt and leaders in the other five states claimed MOHELA, which owns and services personal debt from the defunct Federal Loved ones Instruction Financial loan program, would be deprived of curiosity payments if debtors consolidated out of FFEL to take edge of Biden’s forgiveness strategy. It stated the firm, which cash point out scholarships, would also lose revenue from servicing Direct Financial loans — these produced and owned by the federal governing administration — that are wiped away.
Bush had asked MOHELA no matter if the company is supporting endeavours to block Biden’s approach to preserve its revenue. In response, MOHELA explained it is “faithfully fulfilling its obligations pursuant to its federal mortgage servicing contract.”
The business reported it is “a community instrumentality of the state. As a governmental entity it does not have shareholders and does not exist to make gains. Any offered funds earlier mentioned affordable running requires and reserves are devoted by MOHELA to college student fiscal support.”
In their circumstance, the states argued that Missouri experienced a proper to sue on MOHELA’s behalf simply because it “performs ‘an crucial public function’” and “its board is comprised of public officials and persons appointed by the governor.”
U.S. District Choose Henry E. Autrey, who dismissed the states’ circumstance for lack of standing, questioned that premise. Autrey mentioned that when the governor does appoint five associates of the company’s board, its revenue and liabilities are independent of the condition.

In the wake of the states’ lawsuit, the American Federation of Instructors and the nonprofit Student Debtors Security Middle previous thirty day period despatched MOHELA a cease-and-desist letter. The group’s accused the organization of violating California’s College student Borrower Bill of Rights, which prohibits scholar financial loan servicers from interfering with borrowers’ legal rights to financial loan forgiveness. The University student Borrowers Protection Heart mentioned it was organized to choose authorized action if the company failed to stand down on the lawsuit.
On Wednesday, SBPC executive director Mike Pierce mentioned: “It appears that these states just received caught deceptive a federal appellate courtroom in a ham-fisted hard work to score political details against the president. This is the clearest indicator nevertheless that the ideal-wing point out problem to scholar debt reduction has no authorized foundation and will demonstrate fruitless in the stop.”

TV Buzz: ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ Full Trailer/New Photos Revealed, ‘Falling Skies’ Season 4 Trailer and More April 22, 2014 Featured, News Welcome to the second TV Buzz! This one goes out to you sci-fi and horror lovers. We have fresh looks at Falling Skies season four and NBC’s Rosemary’s Baby reboot, a new photo from BBC America’s In the Flesh and a creeptastic teaser for the new BBC America original Intruders starring John Simm (Life on Mars, Doctor Who). It isn’t all zombies and aliens though. Louie is also back on the scene with a trio of promos for season four, while HBO breaks hearts with a full-length The Normal Heart trailer. See it all below and then hit the comments to share your thoughts on the upcoming crop of new shows and season premieres. Rosemary’s Baby Full Length Trailer and New Photos Is NBC seriously trying to sell Rosemary’s husband as sympathetic? Because, “gee hun, I wanted to buy you Prada so I pimped you out to Satan” is not endearing. That nonsense aside the miniseries looks cheesetastic know that we have a longer look at the footage. It is hard for the trailer to drum up any real chills given we all know how this story plays out, but I’m in this for Zoe Saldana, who is doing her best to channel Mia Farrow right down to the terrible haircut. See her Saldana in all her glory in the photos below. NBC’s two-night event premieres Sunday May 11th at 9/8c. ‘Falling Skies’ Season 4 Trailer “They cannot erase us.” Falling Skies season four looks amazing. Like, mind boggling, “when did this show get so good?” amazing. The desolation is oppressive even as the trailer promises hope remains. It’s hard to believe there is any hope when you reach that heartbreaking kicker of an ending. Are you as unsettled by the trailer’s darkness as I am? Falling Skies season four premieres Sunday, June 22nd at 10/9C on TNT. ‘Star Wars Rebels’ WonderCon Clip Who is ready to see pilot Hera in action? The latest clip shows the character with the best hair/tentacles (I’m not sure what those things are actually) on TV doing some seriously tricky battle maneuvers. Even a non-Star Wars fan like me can appreciate the cool factor in Hera. If this show keeps turning out clips that are this much fun, I am going to end up being lured into the Star Wars universe after all. Star Wars Rebels is set to premiere Fall 2014 on Disney and Disney XD. First ‘In the Flesh’ Season 2 Photo In the Flesh season two is officially in production and to get us ready for more contemplative zombie action, BBC One has released a beautiful dualistic photo featuring Kieren. Notice his eyes: one alive, the other dead, a symbolic nod to his existence in limbo. The word is season two is set to be full of clashes between the humans and the PDS sufferers and Kieren will be right in the middle of things, even though he just wants to start his life over fresh in Paris. Season two premieres Saturday May 10th on BBC America. Louie Season 4 Teasers Louie will be as perky as ever when the critically acclaimed comedy returns for its fourth season on May 5th on FX. Three new teasers reveal Louie mulling pain and death as he continues to muddle through his forlorn existence. The series has been gone for a year, so even if Louie himself is feeling down, the dark teasers should leave fans giddy. The Normal Heart Official Trailer I am not bothering with the Emmy’s or Golden Globes this season, I am hereby giving Mark Ruffalo all of the awards. HBO’s The Normal Heart is not going to be easy viewing. Just watching the trailer is enough to leave me wrecked, but this tale of the men who fought for recognition and help as the AIDs crisis spread through the gay community in ’80s era New York City is an important one to tell.

Last night I was working with some new product, playing around seeing what the pens would do. I’m not ready to give up on this particular pen, but I did not like how it worked on my tile. Let me show you.
I’m up to my eyeballs in The 100 Day Project, trying to stay afloat. And I had these new markers/pens to product review so play time was in order. This is not a review so I am not even going to identify the pens here. I hope to find better ways to use them, then I’ll tell you about them. I pulled out a YouTangle.art Tile from Hahnemühle and every color this pen comes in. And started drawing loose lines, filling in some areas, making various widths of lines in others. These pens are meant for lettering, I just really wanted to try them for tangling. The pen nibs dug into the paper’s surface making tanging really difficult and I ended up not loving this at all. But I needed a tile for The 100 day thing. So how to save it became the real question. I was not going to waste one of these tiles, nor the time I invested in it. I had other fish to fry. And if you aren’t from the south you may not get that reference.
I grabbed an 0.2 Technical Drawing Pen from Zebra and started drawing printemps. They can cover a wealth of not wonderful. The folks at Zentangle® came out with a technique they call tranzending, it’s a process of making layers of tangles. And it was perfect for what I wanted. So I made a whole layer of printemps all over those imperfect gouge-y lines and colors and more or less covered the whole thing up. Makes me wonder if that is how they figured out tranzending to start with. I dislike the tile less now and feel I can move on to the next day. Tomorrow stay tuned for a recap of week two of The 100 Day Project – including this piece of not wonderful. Before I leave I want to show you something I enjoyed more. Something else I am working on and so excited about!
Robin Mead of Robin Mead Designs sent me what she is calling a Color Flow Journal. Page after page of beautiful color literally flowing across the pages. I have a bunch of Robin’s books and have never drawn in a single one. Until now. I haven’t wanted to mess them up but this book literally speaks to me. The colors are all me and the way the color flows works well with the kind of art I do. I tangled up a bunch of loosey goosey flowers and grabbed some water colors and got to work. Just a little teaser. Pretty soon I will be sharing a video with you of Robin’s beautiful Color Flow book, but in the meantime you can check out her work here and here. Robin’s work really is so amazing! As is she!
YouTangle.art Tiles and all things Hahnemühle are here

Yukiya Amano, IAEA Director General, said, “The difficult situation has not been overcome and takes some time to stabilize the reactors. Radioactivities in the environment, food stuff and water is a matter of concern in the vicinity of Fukushima plant and beyond. Some positive notes are: electrical power has been restored to unit number one, two and three, and fresh water is now available on the site.”
Amano will convene a high-level conference, possibly in late June, to examine safety procedures at nuclear plants worldwide in the wake of the disaster.
The meeting will focus on assessments of the Fukushima Dai-ichi disaster. The summit will also look at lessons that need to be learned and ways of strengthening the international response to such accidents.
He also adds that beyond experts, the IAEA’s members will be sending government representatives, saying presence at a “political level” is necessary due to the seriousness of the crisis.

A health trust has been fined £25,000 after a “vulnerable” pensioner died in a scalding bath at a respite centre for the mentally ill in Birmingham.
A catalogue of errors lead to 68-year-old George Inwood becoming “trapped” and suffering a “horrifying” death in water that had nearly reached boiling point.
Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Trust, which admitted a charge under the Health and Safety at Work Act, was also ordered to pay £9,148 costs.
Judge Philip Parker QC, at Birmingham Crown Court, said: “I do regard the mishaps – cumulative as they were – as serious, and the result is that a man who needed to be cared for became trapped in an accident which should not have happened and of course he died.”
He said no one had alerted the staff at the premises to Mr Inwood’s specific physical needs as far as bathing was concerned and that the bathroom had become a “dangerous trap” for the pensioner.
The judge said there had been a failure to carry out a risk assessment of the centre and a failure to ensure that the safety equipment controlling the water temperature was operated.
He said he accepted, though, that the aims and purpose of the trust were largely fulfilled and that since the accident, remedial measures had been put in place.
Barry Berlin, prosecuting, said Mr Inwood, who had a history of manic depression and low moods and had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, was dependant on his wife and the mental health authorities. He said he had difficulty getting in and out of the bath and his wife had helped him until she committed suicide in May 2003.
Mr Berlin said he had twice previously been admitted to the centre in Yardley Fields Road, Stechford, the final time on March 30, 2004.
The morning of the following day Mr Inwood went into the centre’s bathroom, locking the door behind him. A member of staff later heard a groaning sound and Mr Inwood calling for help but when paramedics broke in the pensioner was found dead in the bath, a hot tap still running.
Mr Inwood suffered 25 per cent burns to his body and a post mortem examination revealed he had coronary heart disease.


6 Functions make Double the Efficiency of Laser Cutting Machines-1
After years of development, fiber laser cutting equipment has been widely used, gradually replacing traditional cutting methods. With the increase of factory orders, the workload to be completed gradually increases, and improving the efficiency of laser cutting has become the top priority.
For example, the idle stroke of the early laser cutting machine is shown in the figure below, which is divided into three actions: ascending, translational, and descending. This process has a long action route and many action nodes, which restricts the cutting efficiency of the laser cutting machine. Today’s optical cutting machine has changed this idle way.
After continuous technological innovation, now in the cutting process, there are six practical functions that greatly improve the processing efficiency and cutting performance of laser cutting machines. Next, let’s take a closer look at these six useful functions.
1. Frog leap function
Leapfrogging is the air travel method of today’s laser cutting machines, and this technical action is a breakthrough in the development of laser cutting machines. This action omits the time of rising and falling, and the laser cutting head moves faster and more efficiently. This feature has become standard on modern laser cutters.
2. Auto focus function
When cutting different materials, the focus of the laser beam is required to fall on different positions of the workpiece section. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the position of the focus. In the early laser cutting machines, manual focusing was generally used, and now many manufacturers’ machines have achieved automatic focusing.
The method of automatic focusing is: before the beam enters the focusing mirror, install a variable curvature reflector (or adjustable mirror), by changing the curvature of the reflector, changing the divergence angle of the reflected beam, thereby changing the focus position and realizing automatic adjustment. coke.
3. Automatic edge finding function
The automatic edge finding function can sense the inclination angle and origin of the sheet, and adjust the cutting process to suit the angle and position of the sheet, thereby avoiding waste. Thanks to the automatic edge-finding function, the time to adjust the workpiece earlier is eliminated – moving workpieces weighing hundreds of kilograms on the cutting table is not an easy task, thus greatly increasing the efficiency of the machine.
