10 Best Stargazing Locations in the UK
Pitch your tent beneath a starry night sky, lie on your back and gaze at the wondrous spectacle above you. Keep an eye out for the various stars, planets and constellations visible from our countryside. Find inspiration for your next trip from our list of the best locations for stargazing in the UK.
1. Brecon Beacons National Park, Wales
Nearest campsite: Rhandirmwyn Club Site
Wales’ first International Dark Sky Reserve, the Brecon Beacons National Park is a dramatic mountain range stretching across South Wales. The local community works tirelessly to ensure the region’s light pollution is minimal, allowing for clear views of the starry night-time sky.
The Brecon Beacons’ best spots for stargazing include the Usk Reservoir, Llanthony Prior and Crai Reservoir. Look up at the sky and keep an eye out for the Milky Way, bright nebulas, meteor showers and major constellations.
2. Elan Valley, Wales
Nearest campsite: Wyeside Club Site
Achieving Dark Sky Park status in 2015, the Elan Valley is a breath-taking vale of man-made reservoirs. Nestled among the rugged Cambrian Mountains, the Elan Valley International Dark Sky Park is a fantastic location to pitch your tent and gaze at the stars.
Over 45,000 acres of the Elan Valley is protected by law against light pollution, providing sanctuary for an abundance of wildlife and nature. For the best stargazing views, head to Claerwen Dam, Craig Goch, Pont Ar Elan or Teifi Pools.
3. Exmoor National Park, Devon
Awarded Europe’s first International Dark Sky Reserve in 2011, the Exmoor National Park is a diverse area of untamed moorland in North Devon. The area’s sparse population makes for some of the darkest skies in the UK - on a clear night, the naked eye can see over 3,000 stars!
The Exmoor Dark Sky Reserve covers over 32 square miles, including some fantastic stargazing locations, such as Holdstone Hill, County Gate, Brendon Two Gates and Haddon Hill.
4. Galloway Forest Park, Scotland
Nearest campsite: Culzean Castle Club Site
In 2009, Scotland’s Galloway Forest Park became the UK and the world’s very first Dark Sky Park. Today, over 300 square miles of tranquil valleys, jagged rock faces and heather-clad hills fall within the Gold Tier Dark Skies Park.
Pitch your tent on the edge of this ancient, secluded woodland, and gaze at the arching Milky Way and over 7,000 stars and planets. Visit one of the three visitor centres at Glentrool, Kiroughtree or Clatteringshaws for best views in the forest.
5. North Pennines AONB
Nearest campsite: Barnard Castle Club Site
Designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1988, the North Pennines has more Dark Sky Discovery Sites than anywhere else in the UK. Hosting the North Pennines Stargazing Festival from the 23rd October until the 3rd November, this area of mountainous moorland is an ideal location for stargazing.
Pay a visit to the observatory at Allenheads Contemporary Arts, learn about the local astronomical community and marvel at the Milky Way and the constellation of Orion.
6. Northumberland National Park
Unveiled as an International Dark Sky Park in December 2013, the Northumberland National Park is over 1,000 square kilometres of sloping valleys, glistening lakes and fascinating history. The national park is also home to Europe’s largest area of protected night sky, with over 572 square miles of clear, starry skies.
Having been awarded Gold Tier standard by the International Dark-Sky Association, the Northumberland National Park is officially the best place to stargaze in England. Marvel at over 2,000 stars at any one time, the furthest of which is Andromeda Galaxy, over 2,500,000 light-years away.
7. North York Moors National Park, Yorkshire
Home to three Dark Skies Discovery Sites, the North York Moors National Park compiles remote dales, moors and forests. On a clear night, pitch your tent in the national park, camp beneath the starry sky and watch as the iridescent Northern Lights dance above you.
According to respected astronomer Richard Darn, the North East’s dry climate and uninterrupted horizons make the stretch of coastline between Saltburn and Scarborough the perfect location for stargazing.
8. Snowdonia National Park, Wales
Awarded Wales’ second Dark Sky Reserve status in December 2015, the Snowdonia National Park covers 800, thinly populated, square miles of North Wales. Pitch your tent in this national park and look out for iconic constellations such as Orion the Hunter, Gemini, the Seven Sisters and the Square of Pegasus.
Everywhere in Snowdonia offers clear, starry skies, but for the best views, head to Llyn y Dywarchen, Tŷ Cipar or Bwlch y Groes. The Dark-Sky Association, based in Arizona, have been incredibly impressed with Wales’ commitment to protecting its skies, stating: “Wales now leads the world in the percentage of its territory enjoying protected status for its night skies”.
9. South Downs National Park
Becoming the world’s newest International Dark Sky Reserve in May 2016, the South Downs National Park is home to beautiful rolling landscapes and clear, dark, gloomy skies. Being in such close proximity to London, the South Downs is a popular place to escape the city and gaze up at the stars.
For the clearest stargazing views, head to Winchester Science Centre and Planetarium, Bignor Hill, Devil’s Dyke or Buriton. There are approximately 2,700 streetlights in the South Downs; local authorities are now gradually replacing these to comply with Dark Sky standards.
10. Yorkshire Dales National Park, Yorkshire
Nearest campsite: Kendal Club Site
With four designated Dark Sky Discovery Sites, the Yorkshire Dales National Park is a fantastic place to pitch your tent if you want to sleep beneath the stars. Watch daylight turn to night, as over 2,000 stars and planets hang down from the night sky.
If the conditions are good and the activity is right, you may catch one of the world’s most spectacular natural wonders in the Northern Lights. Also, keep an eye out for the International Space Station, travelling overhead at over 17,000mph. In the Yorkshire Dales, you’re always guaranteed a starry sky, however for the best views, pay a trip to Hawes, the Malham National Park Centres or the Tan Hill Inn.

This lens design is relatively new, but don’t let that fool you. Anti-fatigue lenses put in a lot of grunt work so our eyes can feel more comfortable as we spend countless hours staring at our screens and devices. On average we glance at our phones as many as 80 times per day!
The key difference between an anti-fatigue lens and a traditional single vision lens is the number of zones of clarity. In an anti-fatigue lens there are 2 zones of clarity – a clear zone dedicated to distance vision, and a relax zone dedicated to near vision. It’s important to note that this is not the same as a progressive lens, which has 3 defined focal points (as opposed to zones).
Whether you experience eye fatigue, are constantly removing your glasses, or are interested in the latest technologies, talk to one of our optometrists today to learn if this lens is suitable for you.

Boardgamegeek Info: Splendor
GM: Scott Saccenti
Demo: Sat 1:00 PM
See Schedule for heat and elimination round times
The top two finishers from the Final will receive a plaque.
Splendor is a game of chip-collecting and card development. Players are merchants of the Renaissance trying to buy gem mines, means of transportation, shops—all in order to acquire the most prestige points. If you’re wealthy enough, you might even receive a visit from a noble at some point, which of course will further increase your prestige.
On your turn, you may (1) collect chips (gems), or (2) buy and build a card, or (3) reserve one card. If you collect chips, you take either three different kinds of chips or two chips of the same kind. If you buy a card, you pay its price in chips and add it to your playing area. To reserve a card—in order to make sure you get it, or, why not, your opponents don’t get it—you place it in front of you face down for later building; this costs you a round, but you also get gold in the form of a joker chip, which you can use as any gem.
All of the cards you buy increase your wealth as they give you a permanent gem bonus for later buys; some of the cards also give you prestige points. In order to win the game, you must reach 15 prestige points before your opponents do.
3 heats. 4-player games are preferred but we will use 3-player tables if necessary to allow all players to play.
Rules as in the box, no expansions or promos.
Special secondary tie-breaker: The first tie-breaker will be as specified in the rules. The secondary tie-breaker will be reverse turn-order, so a disadvantage to players going earlier in turn order.
The top 16 players advance to the semi- finals, as determined by the standard EuroQuest tiebreakers. Four tables of four players each will be seated.
The winners of the four tables will face off in a final game. In the Final there will be bidding for turn order.
In 2023 Splendor will offer Meeple League points.

MILLIONS of kids headed back to school for the first time in months yesterday as the first lockdown restrictions were eased.
🔵 Read our schools reopening live blog for the latest news & updates as kids return to the classroom...
Boris Johnson hailed it has a “big day and a emotional day for millions of families” while headteachers said the number of kids returning was “very encouraging”.
Among parents happy to see off their kids were Colin and Dawn Royle who cheered as Isabella, ten, and Joshua, nine, left for school in Audenshaw, Gtr Manchester.
Teachers at the Hazelwood Integrated Primary School in Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland, built a “Welcome” balloon arch for pupils. One excited youngster ran up and hugged her teacher.
Primary schools opened in full yesterday but most secondary schools are phasing their return
Their children are being asked to take lateral flow tests to help curb the spread of Covid-19.
Erin Horn took one at Outwood Academy in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, after two months away.
At Harris Academy in Sutton, South London, pupils waited in lines to return to class after a break.
The PM said some pupils would be “anxious” after so much time away but he added the “overwhelming feeling is one of relief”.
He said: “We all know that the education of our children is so important that the greater risk now is keeping them out of school for a day longer.
He thanked teachers who have worked throughout “remotely or in person” and parents and others who taught kids at home.
He told last night’s No.10 press conference: “It’s thanks to this huge national effort to keep kids at home that we have been able significantly to reduce the spread of the virus.”
Top government doctor Jenny Harries said she was “hopeful” schools would not have to close again thanks to mass testing.
Geoff Barton, General Secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said attendance in most schools was “very encouraging”.
He said the requirement to provide on-site Covid tests had been “onerous” and introducing face coverings in class had been a “minefield” for teachers to navigate.
Dr Mary Bousted, National Education Union chief, said it was possible children may have to return to remote learning.
She said: “I hope, and my members hope, this will be the last time we close schools to the majority of pupils. But the jury’s out.”
Experts believe kids who have spent a long time away from school could suffer “longer-term scarring”.
Prof Russell Viner, president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, told Times Radio: “We closed down our children’s lives.
"The key issues around meeting friends, development socially, learning to trust, learning to be human, learning all of those things, that’s been lost as well as the loss of actual straight-up learning.
“Many of those things can’t be done online. The harms to mental health are very clear.
Most read in Politics
“We know that there’s a lot more anxiety and depression and eating disorders around among children and young people.
"The thing we don’t know is how much of this is essentially a superficial flesh wound that will heal when they’re back at school, and how much of it will lead to longer-term scarring.”

Hyundai i30 N Sedan brings another bodystyle to the South Korean brand’s popular performance line-up.
Hyundai has introduced the new i30 N Sedan to the N line-up, joining the i30 hatch and fastback, and sitting alongside the new i20 N and Kona N models.
The new model hits the showroom at $49,000 before on-road costs and is ready to order now. Beyond a unique appearance compared to the hot hatch, the sedan is also equipped with a number of unique performance parts over the other i30 N models.
2022 Hyundai i30 N Sedan price and specs
Specs: 19-inch alloys wrapped in wide 245-section Michelin Pilot Sport 4, 10.25-inch N Supervision instrument cluster and 10.25-inch sat nav infotainment, wireless device charging, Bose Premium Audio with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, digital radio, leather sports front seats with heating and ventilation, 10-way powered memory driver’s seat, leather heated steering wheel, dual-zone climate control, alloy sports pedals and ambient lighting.
Safety: Forward Collision-avoidance Assist (FCA), Blind-spot Collision-avoidance Assist – Rear (BCA-R), Rear Cross-traffic Collision-avoidance Assist (RCCA), and Lane Following Assist (LFA).
Price: $49,000 before on-road costs.
Options: Sunroof ($2000), metallic paint ($495).
Engine and performance
Powering the i30 N Sedan is the familiar 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol four-cylinder motor, producing 206kW of power at 5500-6000rpm and 392Nm of torque at 2100-4700rpm to the front wheels. There are two choices of transmission, with both an eight-speed wet dual-clutch automatic and six-speed manual transmission available at the same price, though the auto has the edge over the manual in a straight line, sprinting from a standstill to 100km/h in 5.3s compared to 5.8s.
The automatic brings further N functions with N Grin Shift, N Power Shift and N Track Sense Shift settings.
N Grin Shift (NGS) releases maximum power of the engine and transmission for 20 seconds. To activate it, the driver pushes a steering wheel button, which also starts a countdown timer on the cluster.
N Power Shift (NPS) is engaged when the car accelerates with more than 90 percent accelerator, reducing torque drop-off during shifts to enhance acceleration and bring the involvement of a manual-like shove in the back during upshifts.
Finally, N Track Sense Shift (NTS) recognises when the road conditions are optimal for dynamic driving – on a racetrack, for example – to activate automatically. By selecting the right gear and shift timing, it “lets you extract maximum performance, just as a race car driver would,” according to Hyundai.
An active variable exhaust helps to deliver the pops and crackles of a hot hatch, and among the electro-mechanical front diff is an Integrated Drive Axle (IDA), which reduces the number of components used which in turn reduces unsprung mass from the front end to benefit steering feedback and road feel.
Warranty and servicing
All Hyundai models are covered by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty.
Fixed price servicing is available for the first five years/50,000km. Service intervals are every 12 months/10,000km, at $335 for the first five services.
The i30 N Sedan is available to order now from Hyundai dealerships around Australia.


THE UK has donated £20million to help speed up the production of a vaccine to protect against the deadly coronavirus.
Experts have been frantically working to develop a jab since the outbreak emerged in Wuhan little over a month ago.
The new coronavirus has now killed at least 360 people and infected more than 17,000.
Now infectious disease experts have been given a cash boost from the UK as it sets out an ambitious six-month plan.
Health Secretary Matthew Hancock said the Government would plough fresh money into developing a vaccine to combat the deadly global disease.
The £20 million investment will go to CEPI (the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations), a global body aiming to fast-track a vaccine within six to eight months.
CEPI chief executive Dr Richard Hatchett said such a tight timescale was "unprecedented".
If the biologists are successful, more time would still be required to test the vaccine more widely and secure sign-off from medical regulators before it could be distributed across the world.
Dr Hatchett said: "This is an extremely ambitious timeline - indeed, it would be unprecedented in the field of vaccine development.
"It is important to remember that even if we are successful - and there can be no guarantee - there will be further challenges to navigate before we can make vaccines more broadly available."
The UK's money will help fund the efforts of Dr Kate Broderick, a 42-year-old Scot based in California, who is working to create a coronavirus vaccine.
"We have the opportunity to save some lives on the basis that we do this as fast as we can," Dr Broderick, a molecular geneticist who works for the pharmaceutical company Inovio, told the Times.
Global health emergency
The coronavirus outbreak has been categorised as a global health emergency by the World Health Organisation, with cases confirmed in several countries including Canada, Australia, Germany and Japan, as well as in the UK.
Two people, a University of York student and one of their relatives, are being treated for the infection in the UK.
The death toll in China has risen to 361, with one more fatality having been recorded in the Philippines.
A further 2,829 new cases were confirmed by Chinese health authorities in the 24 hours to Monday morning, taking the total number of cases in the country to 17,205.
Most cases have been recorded in Hubei province, whose capital city Wuhan is the epicentre of the outbreak.
Several countries including Britain have evacuated hundreds of their citizens from the infection zone.
Eleven more evacuees - comprising British citizens and their family members - arrived back in the country on Sunday evening to join the 83 already in quarantine at Arrowe Park Hospital in the Wirral.
Announcing investment into stemming the spread of the virus, Mr Hancock said: "Vaccines are our best defence against a host of deadly diseases, including coronavirus.
"The UK is a hub of world-leading and pioneering research, and it is vital that we lead the way in developing new vaccines to target global threats with scientists from across the world.
"The £20 million announced today will help our globally recognised vaccine development capabilities continue to develop new defences against emerging diseases, including coronavirus."
CORONAVIRUS BABY BORN IN QUARANTINE ZONE
A Chinese baby boy has been born inside a coronavirus quarantine zone with both his parents feared to carry the deadly disease.
Medics dressed in hazmat suits have delivered the 7lb 11oz boy at Wuhan Union Hospital on Saturday.
The Wuhan hospital's isolation unit, inside the quarantined Hubei province, is the designated national location for pregnant coronavirus patients.
As a result, medics such as Doctor Song have been sent from numerous other provinces to assist with the influx of people.
The new mother has been held in isolation as a suspected carrier of the deadly virus, while her husband remains in quarantine after he was diagnosed.
Pictures from inside Wuhan Union Hospital, one of the facilities on the front line of the viral outbreak in Central China's Hubei Province, show the newborn boy in the arms of Doctor Song Bo.
The doctor said: "The child is healthy and everyone is very happy,” explaining the baby boy would be transferred to Wuhan Children's Hospital for further tests.
He added: "As a father-of-two myself, it's been tough being on the front line day and night, but we're all so excited to see this new life.”
"I believe we will win the fight against this disease."
Dr Hatchett said the Government funding came at a "crucial moment" in the fight against the spread of coronavirus.
"The rapid global spread and unique epidemiological characteristics of the virus are deeply concerning," he said.
Vaccines are our best defence against a host of deadly diseases, including coronavirusMatt Hancock
"Our hope is that, with our partners, we can get an investigational vaccine from gene sequencing of the pathogen through to clinical testing in 16 weeks.
"The earliest stage of phase one clinical trials, to establish the safety of investigational vaccines, would take around two to four months."
Contain the spread
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said the Government - which has launched a public health campaign advising people how to slow the spread of the virus - is doing all it can to help Britons leave Wuhan.
Mr Raab told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show: "We'll do everything we can to make sure that those that still want to leave... (we will) give them the opportunity to do so."
He added: "The challenge that we've got, and the Chinese have got frankly, is to contain the virus but also then to lift out people that want to come back home and we're doing that as sensitively and as effectively as we can."
What to do if you're worried you've got coronavirus
BRITISH health chiefs have raised the coronavirus risk to the public from low to moderate.
Health professionals are working to contact anyone who has been in close contact with people who have coronavirus.
The majority of those who have been infected with the virus so far have either visited China or been in close contact with someone who has.
But if you are concerned known the signs is one of the best ways to protect yourself from 2019-nCoV.
Symptoms usually include:
- a cough
- a high temperature
- difficulty breathing
In most cases, you won't know whether you have a coronavirus or a different cold-causing virus.
But if a coronavirus infection spreads to the lower respiratory tract, it can cause pneumonia, especially in older people, people with heart disease or people with weakened immune systems.
It is incredibly contagious and is spread through contact with anything the virus is on as well as infected breath, coughs or sneezes.
The best way to prevent catching any form of coronavirus is to practice good hygiene.
If you have cold-like symptoms, you can help protect others by staying home when you are sick and avoiding contact with others.
You should also cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough and sneeze then throw it away and wash your hands.
Cleaning and disinfecting objects and surfaces which you may have touched is also important.
If you have returned from Wuhan in the last 14 days:
- Stay indoors and avoid contact with other people as you would with other flu viruses
- Call NHS 111 to inform them of your recent travel to the city
- your recent travel to the city
If you are in Northern Ireland, call your GP.
Please follow this advice even if you do not have symptoms of the virus.
The Department of Health said the new campaign of advertisements advising people to use tissues when sneezing or coughing and wash their hands regularly will target publications and forums known to be read by Chinese nationals in the UK.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock said UK medics are working "round the clock" to prevent the spread of the illness, but added the general public can do its bit.
He said: "Basic hygiene such as washing our hands regularly and using tissues when we cough and sneeze can play an important role in minimising the spread of viruses like this."
MORE ON CORONAVIRUS
CEPI, which has offices in London, Norway and the US, is a global partnership between public, private, philanthropic and civil society organisations to develop vaccines to stop future epidemics.
It was formed in 2017 in response to the Ebola epidemic in west Africa, a deadly outbreak that killed more than 11,000 people between 2013-16.
CEPI has kick-started four programmes into stemming coronavirus in the past two weeks, a spokesman confirmed, with the UK's £20 million investment set to build on the previous £10 million ministers invested in the organisation in 2019.

Greater than a yr after it was initially proposed, the Biden administration introduced a ultimate rule yesterday that may change how insurers in federal applications resembling Medicare Benefit use prior authorization — a long-standing system that forestalls many sufferers from accessing doctor-recommended care.
“When a physician says a affected person wants a process, it’s important that it occurs in a well timed method,” Well being and Human Companies Secretary Xavier Becerra stated in a statement. “Too many People are left in limbo, ready for approval from their insurance coverage firm.”
Generally referred to as pre-authorization or pre-certification, prior authorization requires sufferers and their docs to hunt approval from insurers earlier than continuing with a remedy, take a look at or treatment. Insurer fee is commonly contingent upon acquiring prior authorization, which can be demanded for every little thing from expensive cancer care to prescription refills.
Elizabeth Spencer, 71, of Lebanon, Tenn., stated her Medicare Benefit plan requires her to get preapproval for steady glucose monitoring provides each 90 days. Spencer was recognized with Kind 1 diabetes when she was 12 and estimated that she spends an hour each week on prior authorization necessities.
“I’ve to get a brand new prior authorization each time I’m about to expire of provides,” she stated. “What a part of that is smart to anybody with half a mind?”
As Spencer’s expertise reveals, the method may be complicated and prolonged. Denials are frequent and appeals are sometimes troublesome to navigate. Docs say some people end up dying whereas ready for an insurer’s permission for care.
Starting in 2027, the Facilities for Medicare and Medicaid Companies will require some insurers to adopt an electronic process for prior authorization. They’ll have to reply to expedited prior authorization requests inside 72 hours and to plain requests inside seven days.
Insurers affected by the rule additionally should present a particular cause for denying prior authorization requests and shall be required to publicly report prior authorization knowledge yearly on their web sites, amongst different modifications.
However the brand new rule goes solely to this point, affecting simply insurers doing enterprise in federal applications, resembling Medicare Benefit and Obamacare exchanges. Notably, it doesn’t cowl insurance coverage that some 158 million People get by their jobs — the commonest form of protection in the USA.
KFF surveys present that “this inhabitants has issues with prior authorization virtually as a lot as these with [Affordable Care Act] market, Medicaid and Medicare” protection, stated Kaye Pestaina, director of KFF’s Program on Affected person and Client Safety.
“So I think about there’ll nonetheless be requires modifications and transparency for these plans, largely regulated by the Division of Labor,” she stated.
The brand new rule additionally doesn’t cowl prior authorization for pharmaceuticals, Pestaina added. CMS has indicated it would take care of that difficulty individually.
Up to now yr, KFF Well being Information has heard from lots of of sufferers who’ve needed to endure insurance coverage preapprovals for care. Whereas initially promoted as a method to make the health-care system extra environment friendly by eliminating pointless or duplicative remedy, prior authorization is now extensively unpopular amongst docs and sufferers.
“Household physicians know firsthand how prior authorizations divert helpful time and assets away from direct affected person care,” Steven Furr, president of the American Academy of Household Physicians, stated in an announcement yesterday. “We additionally know that a lot of these administrative necessities are driving physicians away from the workforce and worsening doctor shortages.”
Furr stated the brand new rule “marks vital progress,” including: “We’d like congressional motion to cement this important progress.”
Though the brand new rule doesn’t apply to all of their plans, some insurance coverage corporations have taken steps to enhance prior authorization for all of their clients, in anticipation of the CMS crackdown. AHIP, an business commerce group previously referred to as America’s Well being Insurance coverage Plans, stated the brand new federal rule is a “step in the best path.”

GARY, IN. — The Kansas City T-Bones slugged three home runs, including a pair of two-run shots by second baseman Jake Blackwood, to beat the Gary SouthShore RailCats, 8-3 Friday night at U. S. Steel Yard on the same night the ‘Cats retired late coach Joe Gates’ number 45.
The RailCats collected 11 hits but could not keep Kansas City off the scoreboard, as the T-Bones scored in each of the game’s first three frames and padded their lead on Blackwood’s home runs in the sixth and eighth innings. Kansas City has now hit five home runs in the series from four different players, and hit those homers off four different RailCats pitchers.
Jay Pecci did his best T-Bone impression leading off the fourth when he launched a sky-high homer off Ryan Knippschild (1-0) over the First Midwest Bank Catwalk in left. Pecci’s blast brought the RailCats within 4-1 and was just the 31st home run of the shortstop’s 13-year pro career. The RailCats would get even closer in the fifth when Pecci lobbed a fly ball into shallow center that was just deep enough to score Chris Carrara from third base. Pecci also had a bunt single in the first inning of Friday’s game, finishing his night 2-for-3 with two RBI.
Right-hander Brandon Magee (0-1) started for the RailCats and never found his groove, allowing a Jim Fasano two-out RBI single in the first inning and a long Ryan Fox home run to lead off the second. Kansas City scored twice more in the third against Magee, getting run-scoring singles from Ray Sadler and Brian Joynt. Magee allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits in four innings in his RailCats debut.
Louis Ott led the RailCats offensively, going 3-for-4 with a double in his first start. Ott, who caught the last three innings Thursday, played at first base in Friday’s game. Pecci and Jeff Beachum each had two hits for the ‘Cats, with Yuki Matsumoto and Cristian Guerrero adding doubles.
Knippschild earned the win for Kansas City, surrendering seven hits but only two runs in five innings. The left-hander struck out five and walked one in the victory. Brett Davis and Kyle Dahman closed out the game with four innings of one-run relief.
The RailCats (0-2) and T-Bones (2-0) continue their four-game series Saturday night at 6 p.m. at U. S. Steel Yard. Former Major Leaguer Brad Halsey (0-0, 0.00 ERA) will make his first RailCats start against Kansas City right-hander Andrew Cruse (0-0, 0.00 ERA). The game will be broadcast live on 89.1 FM, The Lakeshore, and online at www.railcatsbaseball.com.
Saturday night is Fleece Blanket Giveaway Night at The Steel Yard, with the first 1,500 fans getting a free RailCats Fleece Blanket, courtesy Geminus Prevention Services. Gates will open at 5 p.m. Saturday, and only the first 1,500 fans will receive a blanket. Saturday is also County/Mullet Night sponsored by Indiana 105, with the night’s top mullet getting to throw out a ceremonial first pitch and a pregame Mullet Parade. Tickets are available by calling 219.882.2255, visiting the U. S. Steel Yard Box Office or online at www.railcatsbaseball.com.
Notes: In a pregame ceremony, the RailCats retired number 45 on the centerfield fence at U. S. Steel Yard, making Gates the first former RailCat to be so honored. A longtime RailCats coach, Gary native and former White Sox infielder, Gates passed away earlier this year … the RailCats are off to an 0-2 start for the first time since 2002, when the ‘Cats started their first season 0-5 … Pecci hit only two home runs in 2009, and did not hit his first until July 19.

When you hear reports that riot police have been called in to help calm crowds at a cell phone launch, many would assume it must have been an iPhone launch. After all, what other phone commands such a high level of excitement from shoppers? However, Apple products are not the only ones whipping shoppers into a frenzy. When priced right, BlackBerrys can have a similar effect.
The Press Association reports that riot police were last week deployed in the center of Jakarta after thousands of people showed up to try and bag a cheap Blackberry. The news outlet reports that there was a 50 percent discount on the $540 Bold 9790 for the first 1,000 people. News of the offer spread and people started showing up on Thursday night. By Friday morning, the 3,000-strong crowd was apparently rattling the gates to get in.
Sadly, there was a limited number of handsets available and when the crown outside Pacific Place shopping center was told that the phone had sold out, the PA says "the crowd of 3,000 went crazy" with some even fainting in the crush. Boy Genius Report says that as many as 90 people were injured.

Texas lawmakers have introduced identical bills to address safety and regulations concerning electricity lines after the electrocution deaths of three boy scouts.
Texas Rep. Chris Paddie (R-Marshall) and Texas Sen. Bryan Hughes (R-Mineola) filed identical bills that would require electric utilities to conduct annual line inspections and report inspection results to the state, KETK reported.
The legislation, which also calls for utilities to report annual fatalities and injuries caused by their power lines and equipment, comes following the 2017 deaths of three boy scouts whose catamaran struck a power line hanging over an East Texas lake.
The latest news from around North Texas.
Parents of the three boys, who were ages 11, 16 and 17, told KETK the accident was 100 percent preventable and are grateful for the proposed legislation.
"The biggest thing we can do for our boys is to make sure that this doesn't happen again, and the only way to make that happen, is to remove the root cause," said Stan Brannon, the father of one of the three scouts killed at Lake O' the Pines.
Upshur Rural Electric Cooperative announced earlier this month it buried the transmission lines that came into contact with the catamaran.


“Sen. Charlie Huggins, a Wasilla Republican who last year proposed making the pre-1964 Winchester Model 70 .30-06 caliber rifle the official state firearm, has withdrawn the legislation,” thenewstribune.com reports. The Alaskan pol was trying to duplicate the state gun hoopla generated by Utah (Browning M1911) and Arizona (Colt Peacemaker) back in the Spring of ’11. Huggins is bummed, the trend is dead and the trib is left explaining the ill-fated firearms choice. “In sponsoring the bill, Huggins said the rifle was used by hunters, trappers, Alaska Natives and pioneers during Alaska’s formative years. He also said the Model 70 is well-built and reliable and carries enough ‘stopping power’ to be useful in a crisis situation.” To paraphrase the Obama administration’s mantra, you should never waste ammo during a good crisis.

SXSW is my favorite time of the year for collecting new artists to watch. Far be it from me to keep these gems to myself. Here are some of bands and songs I discovered this year:
16. The Field Effect – “Ogunquit, ME”
This group from Boston was one of my post-SXSW discoveries. I heard this song on the Berklee Party Sampler and found it fun and refreshing. Here’s a clip:
17. Wildlife Control – “Analog or Digital”
Wildlife Control is one of those bands whose songs get into your brain without you even noticing. One day I just woke up with this song in my head. I actually had to track down where it had come from. I immediately put it in my “SXSW mix” folder.
18. The Wild Feathers – “Backwoods Company”
This band I saw a couple different times at SXSW and their live show elevated them from a band to check out to a must see.

I recently bought a Denon AVR-1612. It has 5 x HDMI inputs and 1 x HDMI output. (among other inputs)
I connected the HDMI output of the Explorer 8300HD, which was previously connected to my Pansonic TV (and working), to the HDMI input in the receiver and connected the HDMI output of the Denon AVR-1612 to the Panasonic TV.
For some reason, this does NOT work.
However, I have been successful if re-hooking up the HDMI from the Explorer 8300 HD to the Panasonic TV and audio connection from the Explorer 8300HD to the Denon AVR-1612. In this scenario, I can use the speakers attached to the Denon AVR-1612.
I do not want to use this setup long term, because if I want to use the speakers attached to my Denon for my DVD player (attached to the Denon via HDMI), I have to switch HDMI cables (remove HDMI connected to Explorer 8300 HD and attach HDMI connected to output of the Denon AVR-1612) which is a big pain.
My question is, how can I get the Explorer 8300 HD =====>HDMI======>AVR-1612 to work?
It might be an HDMI handshake issue. The devices need to turn on in a specific order for the HDMI to negociate a "handshake" with each device. Try changing the order of how you turn on the devices, you have 3x3=9 possible ways to turn on your TV system, perhaps one order may yeild valid results? if not please report back and we can try to assist further.
Sounds like a handshake issue to me too.. The 8300HD is bad at that part.. I have one connected though my Denon to my Panasonic just fine.. But I believe i need the Panasonic on first then the Denon then the 8300HD.
I send in some email to Denon and this what came back:
"What you are experiencing is an HDMI syncing issue. Connecting directly to the television uses what is called an HDMI send and sync connection, and when you connect using a receiver it is called HDMI repeating technology, and as such bypassing the receiver doesn't actually tell us much. The issue you are experiencing is most likely the result of the set top box (pvr) not properly supporting repeating functionality. There are a couple of options I can suggest. You can contact the cable/sat provider and they may be able to provide you with what's called a repeater flag firmware update. If that is not available through your cable/sat company I would recommend connecting using component video and digital optical in place of the HDMI. This will provide the same video and audio quality as the HDMI and will not result in the HDMI syncing issues of the type you have experienced."
Is there some kind of repeater flag firmware update for the Explorer 8300 HD or some other STB that Rogers has that has this capability?


Major transport improvement work to begin in January 2015
Schemes on London Road, the Plain in Oxford City and Milton Interchange will all get underway, marking the latest phase of investment in the county’s transport infrastructure and future economic success.
Investment in the county’s transport system
County Councillor David Nimmo Smith, Cabinet member for transport, said: “There is no doubt that the amount of investment in the county’s roads at the moment is on a level never seen before.
“The level of growth we are expecting in the county means that demand would continue to outstrip capacity on our roads without the action we are taking now. in addition, to minimise disruption, these works need to be complete before major redevelopments such as Westgate.
“In the long term the work that we are doing now will bring major benefits for the transport system by improving traffic flows and addressing some long standing maintenance issues. However, there is no doubt that these works will have an impact on people’s journeys.
Work is now complete on the £7m A423 Southern Bypass Scheme at Hinksey and Kennington Roundabouts. The scheme has increased the capacity of Kennington Roundabout by up to 30% to cope with current and future traffic demand, as well as completing refurbishment of four bridges and the carriageway surface between Hinksey and Heyford Interchanges.
Ducklington Lane improvements in Witney are now substantially complete improving access to Witney at this busy junction
Plan your journeys
Councillor Nimmo Smith explained: “The advice to anyone who travels in and around the areas where work is being done is to plan your journeys in advance. Varying your journey times or seeking other ways to travel could help you avoid the worst of the delays.”
The county council’s Travel Choices webpages are the best place to visit for updates on the work, travel information, alternative modes of transport, and information on all major schemes in Oxfordshire. To find out more visit: www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/travelchoices
You can also sign up to receive regular email updates on progress of all major transport schemes via the individual scheme web pages or by visiting www.eepurl.com/WHXxL
London Road phase two
On January 5, work will start on the second phase of work on London Road, Oxford.
This phase of the £2.1m scheme will involve the long-awaited resurfacing and reconstruction of London Road from the junction with Wharton Road to the junction with Northfield Road - a distance of approximately 500 metres.
As well as providing a new road surface, engineers will also be digging out and building new foundations to ensure that increased levels of bus use will not damage the carriageway in future. The work will be done under temporary two-way traffic signals meaning that the road will remain open, although capacity will be reduced.
Work on the first phase will continue until February 2015. This phase includes the construction of the bus and cycle improvements at the Green Road roundabout and on London Road in the area of the Lyndworth Close junction.
More information on the London Road scheme is available online at www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/A420LondonRoad
The Plain is a busy five-arm roundabout in Oxford with high bus flows and a history of cyclist casualties. The improvements at The Plain and at Longwall Street will aid cyclists travelling on this east / west corridor and help boost the county council’s ambition to increase the use of sustainable transport on this route.
The work will include widening of footways, introducing shared loading and parking facilities, enhanced entry treatments onto the roundabout and reducing the width of the carriageway around the roundabout. In addition the footways over Magdalen Bridge will be renewed. Improvement work have already been completed at Longwall Street and High Street and include the widening of the cycle lanes on Magdalen Bridge, early cycle release phase (east bound) and junction signal timings change at the Longwall Street junction.
The total cost of the scheme is £1.3m with the majority of the work linked to improving cycling facilities at this busy junction with funding of £965,000 being provided by the Department for Transport and further support from Oxford City Council. In order to minimise the disruption for the travelling public, the county council is including maintenance work.
Work is expected to be complete in Spring 2015. More information on the Plain is available at www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/theplain
In January 2015 work will begin on a £10.6m scheme to create a “hamburger” style roundabout at Milton Interchange, which allows straight through traffic. Additional capacity will also be created to improve Science Vale UK Enterprise Zone’s connections with the A34 and the wider national road network.
The project has been designed to enable the local road infrastructure to meet the demands of the projected increase in jobs and traffic in the area, with an additional 14,000 homes and 16,000 jobs expected by 2029. Harwell Oxford and Milton Park have Enterprise Zone status, aiming to deliver 8,500 jobs by 2015. This scheme is therefore key to delivering growth and is a priority for the county council and Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP).
The ‘hamburger’ link at Milton Interchange will take traffic from the westbound A4130 heading onto the northbound A34 towards Oxford. The Milton Park Link will also be widened eastbound on the A4130 and southbound on the A34 off-slip approaches to the circulatory to four lanes. This scheme is also linked to a project to deliver north facing slips at Chilton junction to the south on the A34 to accommodate better access to Harwell Oxford.
More information on the Milton Interchange is available online at www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/A34Milton

Oroza, Sibone (HY): ”When I'm on Stage, I Rule”: The Power of Being a Cholita Pop Diva in a Changing Bolivia
My Ph.D. research focuses on the musical phenomenon created by young women in Bolivia in the last three years. My research examines the roles of social change and informal music industry in the arising of hundreds of girl groups characterized by their cholita outfit and the huayño-cumbia music that dominates their shows.
In their own words, the singing and dancing cholitas are rescuing their traditional culture. They proudly wear clothes that until recently would have been banned in many public places for representing Indianness, sing in both Spanish and Quechua, one of Bolivia´s native languages, and practice combinations of indigenous and Catholic beliefs. From an outsider´s point of view, the singing and dancing cholitas´ lifestyle is as hybrid as their music, a fusion of Incaic huayño and Afro-Latin cumbia with techno and pop influences, or as the cholita outfit itself, adapted from Spanish 17th century fashion by Bolivian mestizo women.
While cultural identity is passionately discussed in plurinational Bolivia, the singing and dancing cholitas seem to cross cultural boundaries with ease in search of elements that will allow them to enjoy family traditions and participate in modernity at the same time. For most of the singing and dancing cholitas that I have interviewed, music is a small-scale family business that in addition to money can offer satisfactions that fame and artistic creation bring along with them.

The Best Tips For Christmas Nails
A small break from our daily routines.
Every year, Christmastime is a jolly period where streets, houses, shops and our outfits take on a joyful flavor full of sweetness, reindeer, snowflakes, and Santa Clauses.
The spirit of Christmas is all around us right from the beginning of December, reminding us to prepare for the holidays by celebrating traditions and taking a small break from our daily routines.
Nonetheless, in the preparation frenzy, it is worth planning your Christmas outfits and manicures to avoid looking for a nail technician or an open drugstore at the last minute.
Let's check out the best Christmas nail ideas to inspire you.
What colors are the best for Christmas nails?
When speaking of colors, it is no surprise that the shades of red dominate Christmas nails. Red is not only a classy choice, but there is also an enormous pool of ways to use it.
If you set your mind on red, you can go for:
- long shiny nails using semi-permanent gel polish that will look perfect for a long time,
- shiny, full of color, durable and easy to decorate gel polish,
- classic nail polish if you want to modify the shade and decorations on your nails frequently.
It is important to remember that if you want the red shade on your nails to be glowing, you need to opt for a mirror-like glossy polish. As a result, once your nail polish is fully dry, you need to apply a glossy top layer that will guarantee that the color won't come off and won't lose its brightness for a long time.
White and green Christmas nails
Apart from the classic red, white and green colors can also give your manicure a Christmas vibe and go perfectly with your outfits.
If you opt for a white Christmas manicure, remember to finish it off with gold or silver tones. They will fit perfectly and will make your nails more elegant. The same goes for green, but, in this case, it is better to focus solely on gold tones.
@gelsbybry Five Christmas looks ✨💅🏻 @booksyuk ♬ underneath the tree - c ❣
What are the best ideas for Christmas nail art? Christmas nail decoration is an area where you can showcase your creativity. The list of beautiful nail designs, including snowmen, snowflakes, Santa Clauses, reindeer, or Christmas trees, is endless; the most challenging part is choosing only a few to try out. Remember, though, that Christmas nail art requires talent and advanced skills in nail decoration techniques. Therefore, if you don't want to put yourself to the challenge, you can use the services of a reliable nail technician.
Nonetheless, if you want to change your decorations frequently, you can opt for stickers. You can easily apply and remove them from nails; they don't require nail decoration skills. As a result, decorating your nails with snowflakes and Christmas trees on top of your nail polish will be simple and quick. All in all, you can go for many possibilities with your Christmas nail designs. Therefore, it is worth it to look into a few Christmas nail inspirations beforehand, decide on the color, length, and decorations, choose the option that will suit you best, and go along with your festive outfits.

staton inmates in dorm horizontal julie bennett sept 2013.JPG
Inmates in a dormitory at Staton Correctional Facility Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2013, in Elmore, Ala. The prison system is one of the state General Fund's biggest expenses and nearly impossible to cut. State lawmakers will have to address a bleak budget picture next year. (Julie firstname.lastname@example.org)
If Alabama lawmakers appear cagey when it comes to how they plan to balance the budget next year, it is likely because they do not yet know.
The hole is large and the opportunities for easy fixes are gone.
Including federal funds and taxes and fees dedicated for specific purposes, the state of Alabama will spend about $29 billion this year. But only a tiny sliver of that amount - about $1.8 billion - is for non-education programs that come under the discretion of the Legislature.
In reality, the state has not had enough money to cover its bills in the so-called General Fund for years. But it has managed to paper over those problems with a series gimmicks and luck.
"We just keep plugging the dam with chewing gum," said Richard Laird, a former state representative who left office this month.
In past years, federal stimulus funds plugged holes. But the temporary stimulus funding has dried up. The state also borrowed - with the approval of voters - $437.8 million from a trust fund filled with oil and gas royalties. But that, too, has been exhausted.
And, the state has managed to tap other non-recurring revenue sources, such as proceeds from lawsuits. But elected officials and budget experts agree those funds, too, will not be available.
"We don't project any one-time fix money," said state Sen Phil Williams, an Etowah County Republican who chairs the Fiscal Responsibility and Accountability Committee. "There seems to be something that always falls into place."
With politically palatable spending trims already made, that leaves unpopular cuts or tax increases. The issue is likely to dominate the next legislative session, which starts in March. Here is a look at why the problems are so vexing.
What the General Fund pays for
The General Fund has two large expenses that consume most of the money, and for a variety of reasons, are difficult to impossible to cut - Medicaid and the prison system.
Medicaid this year will cost the General Fund a little more than $685 million, while the Department of Corrections is a little more than $394 million. Together, they account for almost 59 percent of the entire budget.
As expensive as they are, Alabama already runs both on the cheap. It has one of the least-generous Medicaid programs in the country, and crams so many prisoners into its prisons, that its per-inmate cost is at the bottom of the nation.
"We've got the cheapest corrections program on the country," said Carol Gundlach, a budget analyst with the anti-poverty group Arise Citizens' Policy Project.
Not only significant savings probably impossible in the short run, in the long run, the state has struggled even to keep them in check. The prison budget has grown 49 percent since 2010.
The cost curve on Medicaid has been even more dramatic. General Fund payments to the Alabama Medicaid Agency have more than doubled just since 2010, when they were $315 million.
"The General Fund has become the health care fund," said state Sen. Trip Pittman, R-Montrose.
With Medicaid and corrections off the table, that does not leave much left to cut. The next biggest item in the General Fund budget is the court system, which gets more than $112.9 million from the General Fund. Lawmakers have tried over the years to reduce taxpayer support for the courts and shift funding to court fines and fees.
But that has brought stiff push-back from court officials who complain the Legislature is treating the judiciary as just another government agency rather than a co-equal branch of government.
The Department of Mental Health ($105 million) and the Department of Public Health ($81 million) round out the top five.
Other agencies getting significant amounts of General Fund money include departments that patrol the highways, serve senior citizens and safeguard the environment.
No more borrowing
As if it would not be hard enough to figure out how to get by without the $145.8 million that the state has been using from the Alabama Trust Fund, now lawmakers have to pay it back. The installment for fiscal year 2016 will be $15 million.
The state created the trust fund in 1985. Built with royalties paid by energy companies to extract natural resources from state lands and waters, the nest egg currently has about $2.8 billion. Interest from that money is used to fund state and local government. In the current fiscal year, interest from the fund - including the borrowed money - is the second-biggest source of revenue for the General Fund.
Borrowing the money was controversial, because any money taken out of the account - just like any money borrowed from a person's 401(k) account - cuts the principal and reduces the interest available in future years.
After voters blessed the borrowing in a 2012 referendum, the Legislature passed a law mandating the repayment schedule.
That means the gap caused just from the reversal of funds between the trust fund and the General Fund is about $160 million. State Sen. Arthur Orr, a Decatur Republican who chairs the Senate
General Fund budget committee, estimates that there is another $40 million in the loss of one-time expenses.
That puts the total shortfall facing lawmakers at $200 million - or about 11 percent of the General Fund. And that does not even factor in increases that prisons, Medicaid and other agencies might demand.
Other estimates put the shortfall as high as $265 million. And Gov. Robert Bentley said last week that the long-term deficit over the next several years is more like $700 million.
Katherine Robertson, a budget analyst for the conservative Alabama Policy Institute, said this year's budget challenge comes on top of fairly significant cuts that lawmakers have imposed in the years following the 2008 recession.
"In the past three to four years, they've cut just about everything that is low-hanging fruit. ... If there's anything easier out there, it's already been done," she said. "I don't envy the position they're in."


“I have received an image file in zip files that end with numbers (.001, .002, etc). How do I unzip them?”
ZIP files can be easily broken into split files to fit the disk space. This is especially useful for large files like uncompressed images or video files that take up a lot of storage space. Splitting also makes it convenient to send the large zip files through emails as an attachment. If you have received a list of sequential ZIP files with filenames such as “.001” and “.002” from a friend or colleague and don’t know what to do with it then split ZIP files repair will help you. It will extract the contents effectively by combining the split parts of the ZIP file and joining them to make a single uncompressed file.
Zipping is usually done to
Although zipping is convenient and makes your work and like easier, but still there are some situations when zipping is not enough. Suppose you have an extremely large file that you need to send to a friend or say client. You decided to compress it and send, but even after zipping, the file size was way too high for sending over network. Then the only option left with you will be to split the ZIP file into various parts.
Sometimes you might corrupt the ZIP file by splitting it using an unreliable compression tool. This might make the file corrupt and when the receiver will get that file, he / she will not be able to combine the parts back into a single file. If the parts are not joined then you will not be able to access the contents that are zipped in that file.

Disney’s streaming numbers were under the microscope on Wednesday after Netflix’s stock tanked last month following its first subscriber loss in a decade.
Luckily for the House of Mouse and its investors, Disney+ grew.
The streaming service now has 137.7 million subscribers — a gain of roughly 8 million in the company’s fiscal second quarter. Those results beat expectations and calmed Wall Street’s nerves about the streaming market after Netflix (NFLX) missed so badly with its user growth last month.
The results sent shares up as much as 4.5% in early after-hours trading, but the stock’s momentum reversed and then fell 3%.
Disney (DIS) notched $19.2 billion in revenue for the quarter, up 23% from last year. The company reported a net profit of $470 million in the second quarter, down 48% from a year ago.
Bob Chapek, Disney’s CEO, said in the company’s letter to investors Wednesday that Disney’s results “once again proved that we are in a league of our own.”
“As we look ahead to Disney’s second century, I am confident we will continue to transform entertainment by combining extraordinary storytelling with innovative technology to create an even larger, more connected, and magical Disney universe for families and fans around the world,” he added.
Chapek’s reference to “a league of our own” seems somewhat pointed given the extremely bad year that Netflix has had so far in 2022.
Netflix, which is currently the streaming leader with 221 million subscribers globally, reported in April that it lost 200,000 users in the first quarter of 2022 and expects to lose another two million users in the second quarter. The subscriber loss and bad guidance led investors to question the future of Netflix and even the entire streaming marketplace. Its stock has since lost about half its value.
Disney+’s better-than-expected growth shows that Netflix’s problems may be unique to the streaming service rather than a market wide issue — for now, at least.
As if to further that point, Disney reported that all of its streaming services — which includes Hulu and ESPN+ — grew in the second quarter. The company’s services now have 205.6 million users.
Those totals may continue to grow for Disney with its previously announced ad-supported tier, which will debut in the US by the end of the year, according to Chapek. (It was reported on Tuesday that Netflix’s new lower-priced ad tier may also come by year’s end.)
That said, building a successful streaming services is costing Disney gobs of money.
The company’s loss in its direct-to-consumer unit was $887 million in the second quarter — more than triple than it was a year ago. Disney attributed the lower results at Disney+ to “higher programming and production, marketing and technology costs, partially offset by an increase in subscription revenue.”
Elsewhere in the Disney media kingdom, the company’s Parks, Experiences and Products segment notched $6.6 billion in revenues — more than double from a year ago because of attendance increases at Disney parks, hotels and cruise ship sailings as Covid restrictions have eased, the company said.
“Our domestic parks and resorts were open for the entire current quarter, whereas Disneyland Resort was closed for all of the prior-year quarter, and Walt Disney World Resort operated at reduced capacity in the prior-year quarter due to COVID-19 restrictions,” the company said.

A single phone call changed my life forever. In 2003, I was sitting in my office at a fuel cell manufacturing company where I was vice president of operations. A voice on the other end of the line said, “Hello, my name is Mark Tomlinson. I’m calling as a representative of the SME Manufacturing Enterprise Council.”
One of the early applications for 3D printing/additive manufacturing (AM) was in the medical industry. As the machines and materials have improved, the use of these technologies expanded into almost every application. In medical, there are unique challenges as patient safety is paramount and government regulation and insurance issues structure what can and will be done.

Maybe this is a use of Equifactor(R) that you’ve never thought of before…
You have been assigned to a team that has been tasked with installing a new air compressor that will be used as part of a new manufacturing process. Your specific job is to determine what preventive and predictive maintenance activities you will require for the new compressor. Where do you get this type of information?
You can start with the manufacturer’s recommendations, but we all know this is a pretty coarse set of guidelines. Wouldn’t it be nice if you knew how the compressor could possibly fail before it was installed? You could then design your PM and PdM requirements to look for these failure pathways.
As a TapRooT(R) user, you remember that Equifactor(R) is normally used to troubleshoot specific equipment failures and aid in your root cause analysis. But what if we use Equifactor(R) to list ALL POSSIBLE equipment faults, and then design our monitoring systems to look for these faults? In fact, you decide you can use Equifactor(R) to:
1. Determine what vibration monitoring is required to look for the listed symptoms
2. List what preventive maintenance may be required to prevent the failures from occurring
3. Update the operating procedures to keep the equipment operating conditions away from common failure modes
4. Design an operator training program to teach your people to look for specific incipient failure conditions
5. Include the gear in your company’s lube oil analysis program
6. Conduct an RCM analysis to see what maintenance is really required, based on known Equifactor(R) failure modes
and you are just getting warmed up!
It is tough to set up your CBM system to try to minimize your maintenance workload if you don’t know what maintenance is required in the first place. Take a look at how you would normally set up these types of programs for new equipment, and see how Equifactor(R) can be used as yet one more tool to make your life easier.

Fury fought Deontay Wilder in the WBC world heavyweight title in Las Angeles last weekend in an entertaining bout.
Reiss has been criticised for allowing Fury too much time to recover. "I don't want any other fights to happen between him and I (meeting again)".
"I wanted to end it on a great note", he said.
"No one has talked about Joshua in I don't know how long and I plan on keeping it that way".More news: USA: Radio station stops playing 'Baby, It's Cold Outside'
We've come to expect the unexpected from anything we see or hear from Tyson Fury.
"Frank Warren said Arsenal, I said: 'No, let's have it at Old Trafford". Although it was Wilder who was behind the biggest moments of the fight - knockdowns in the eighth and twelfth rounds - Fury out-boxed him for the majority of the contest. But Fury defied the odds again, awesome Wilder by coming off the floor for the draw.
Saturday's fight was scored 115-111 for Wilder, 114-112 for Fury and 113-113, with Alejandro Rochin the judge who had the American as the victor.

The Manchester man emphasized his point on Instagram, where he told his 1.3 millions followers he was "still the lineal heavyweight champion of the world".
"This is an exciting fight". I'm sorry but if you go to work and you're not happy with your wages, you'll probably change your job and look for a better deal.
Wilder vs. Fury lived up to its hype, like the classic exhilarating nights of classic heavyweight boxing: the thunderous blood-pumping adrenaline that whammed and thrummed throughout a rip-roaring crowd. The question is whether he will be able to apply their skills after being idle, which he was. He is in camp now in America, and he would love to fight Fury, he would.

After failing to attract bidders to run the newly-built parking facility at Freedom Park, the BBMP is likely to make vehicle users pay for parking on the surrounding streets.
Municipal authorities are considering declaring the streets within a 500-metre radius of Freedom Park a pay-and-park zone. This would help draw vehicle users to the multi-level parking facility, they hope.
The BBMP, which built the parking facility at a cost of Rs 78 crore after missing several deadlines, has been struggling to get private players to run it because they see it as an unprofitable venture. Potential bidders had said that the revenue expected by the BBMP was “unrealistic” and asked for bringing it down by at least 40%.
One of the key reasons why bidders think the facility would be unprofitable is that parking on streets around Freedom Park is still free. The BBMP now wants to change that. To sweeten the offer, it will likely include the streets around Freedom Park in the contract.
“Most of the roads around Freedom Park have already been developed under TenderSURE and have dedicated parking bays. The higher-ups believe these roads can be added to the parking facility contract,” a BBMP official said.
In addition, the existing parking facility for freight vehicles on Y Ramachandra Road, behind Freedom Park and at the entrance of the protest venue will also be included under the contract.
BBMP officials recently held a meeting with their counterparts from the Urban Development Department, the traffic police and the Directorate of Urban Land Transport to explore ways of attracting suitable bidders to operate the parking facility. A source in the Urban Development Department said the BBMP and the traffic police had been asked to survey the area and file a report on vehicle density.
“We had fixed the contract price based on other multi-level parking facilities in the city. Department officials have now advised that we determine the vehicle density in the area, the duration of parking and other aspects to calculate the revenue we can expect from the facility,” an official said.
Officials also plan to reserve 10 parking slots in the parking bays on the surrounding streets for cycles. Another option is to appoint a private agency to run the parking facility on a pilot basis for three to six months. UDD officials suggested that the contract price be adjusted based on the revenue collected during the pilot, a senior BBMP official said.
BBMP Chief Commissioner Gaurav Gupta said that efforts were underway to operationalise the facility. “We are working on a new tender and hope to open the facility in the next few weeks,” he said.
