- Women's camisoles
How to choose a camisole for women
Shopping for new clothes for spring and summer is not always easy, and camisoles for women are no exception. It is one of the most diverse pieces of clothing, with dozens of styles, materials, and patterns available to shoppers. However, this diversity of camisoles is an opportunity: they are a perfect opportunity to stand out and show off, no matter the occasion or the place.
To make the best choice possible, it is important to consider the use of the tank top and your size, but also which style best suits your image and your energy.
Find the right size
As a central part of your clothing, it is important that your tank top looks perfect when you are wearing it! Like many other pieces, camisoles can be chosen using three measurements: bust, waist and hips. You will find our size guides Pentagone on our product pages.
The best camisole fit for you
Camisoles are regularly separated into three major cut categories: fitted, semi-fitted and relaxed.
- The fitted camisoles are a tight fit, which will conform to the curves and shapes of your body
- Semi-tailored fit still hugs the body without being tight
- The relaxed fit is loose, generous and is the fit that offers maximum comfort
Size will be especially important if you are going for the slim and semi-fitted cuts. All these cuts are found at Pentagone in a multitude of different colors, patterns and styles!
Women's camisoles Pentagone
Women's camisoles Pentagones are available in many different colors, patterns and styles. There is something for everyone!
Camisoles stand out with the onset of warm weather and summer vacation, so they are associated with good weather! Here are things to consider when shopping for a tank top.
The neckline refers to the section of the garment around your neck going down to your throat. Whether you like v-neck, round, tie-neck, zipper or stand-up neck, Pentagone in the tank top you need! Choose from our different models of necklines the one that will complement you the best. You can also find elements like a lace border on the neckline that can enhance your style, for example by emphasizing your neckline!
We all have a preference for suspenders. The thin straps give a feeling of freedom to the wearer and will be less hot on hot summer days. Wide straps will be more durable and provide better support.
Color is an essential element for any piece of clothing! It will be dictated by your use of the camisole: are you looking for a relaxed camisole to spend time outside or a more chic camisole suitable for more formal events? Darker colors or white would be appropriate for the second option, while bright colors would be perfect for the first!
Also, you could opt for patterns rather than color. Floral patterns are always a good choice since they represent the arrival of warm weather and spring. Discover our different patterns Pentagone!

The number of children’s homes in the private and voluntary sector has increased, while the number of local-authority run residential homes for children has decreased, the latest statistics reveal.
Ofsted’s report showed that between 1 April and 31 August 2021, there was a net increase of 69 homes representing a 3% increase from 2,707 to 2,776. This was a result of 120 new registrations and 51 voluntary resignations.
There was an increase in the number of homes in both the private and the voluntary sector – a 3% rise which equates to 71 new homes in the private sector and a 3% rise in the voluntary sector of 4 new homes.
However, there was a small net decrease in local authority-run homes, with 6 new registrations and 12 de-registrations in the period. This includes 1 de-registered home that was run by an organisation that provides the children’s services function of the local authority, such as a trust.
Out of 2,776 active children’s homes as at 31 August 2021, 2,381 (86%) had an inspection judgement. Of those, 79% of homes were judged good or outstanding, 17% were judged requires improvement to be good and 4% were judged inadequate at their most recent inspection.
Overall, 79% of children’s homes were judged to be good or outstanding at August 2021, down from 82% at 31 August 2019. The London region, however, saw an increase in the proportion of homes judged good or outstanding of 7 percentage points. This increase was because most (19 out of 26) of the new children’s homes in London that were inspected between April and August 2021 were judged good at their first full inspection.
Children’s homes run by the voluntary sector performed better than those in the local authority sector and privately owned homes. However, the government statistics warm that because the dataset is small, conclusions should be treated with caution.
At 31 August 2021, 85% of voluntary-run homes were judged good or outstanding, compared with 77% of homes in the local authority sector and 79% of homes in the private sector.
While local authorities had the lowest proportion of children’s homes judged good or outstanding, they had the highest proportion of outstanding children’s homes (22%). However, they also had a slightly higher proportion of inadequate homes (6%).

The Moroccan municipality of Fez is co-financing a household waste management project around the Houët marigot, to the tune of 999,911 Moroccan dirhams (nearly 93,200 euros). The tributary of the Kou River, which runs through the town of Bobo-Dioulasso in Burkina Faso, is subject to domestic and industrial pollution.
To clean up the Houët marigot, the authorities of the Bobo-Dioulasso council will set up a participatory system for managing household waste. The project aims to preserve the biodiversity of the tributary of the Kou River. The Houët marigot is currently very polluted, yet it is exceptionally rich in fish, with many species of freshwater fish, including catfish.
The watercourse now has a greenish tinge due to the discharge of household waste, in particular food scraps, non-recyclable plastics and soiled packaging, recyclable packaging (glass bottles, cardboard, plastic bottles, cans and tins), as well as special household waste such as light bulbs, batteries, paint cans, etc. Industrial wastewater discharged into the Houët marigot also contributes to its pollution.
The option of recycling household waste
The project to clean up the Houët marigot in the municipality of Bobo-Dioulasso will be implemented over 2 years, at a total cost of 3.18 million Moroccan dirhams (nearly 296,400 euros). The Moroccan municipality of Fez is supporting the project with funding of 999,911 Moroccan dirhams (nearly 93,200 euros) and thus strengthens its cooperation with Bobo-Dioulasso. The General Directorate of Local Authorities in Burkina Faso will mobilise 1.85 million Moroccan dirhams (more than 174,750 euros) via the African Support Fund for International Decentralised Cooperation of Local Authorities. The other part of the funding, more than 31,700 euros, will be provided by the municipality of Bobo-Dioulasso.
The household waste collected around the Houët marigot could be transformed into compost and used as fertiliser in the plantations. A similar project is being implemented in Sector 22 of Bobo-Dioulasso. This other initiative aims to recover 50 hectares of degraded land in Sector 22 of Bobo-Dioulasso by turning household waste into compost. The project will also eradicate the illegal dumping grounds in sector 22 of the Bobo-Dioulasso council.

The Silo is a new, environmentally conscious helmet option that features an exclusive new foam liner technology based around E-PLA, or Expanded Polylactic Acid. This “bio-foam” liner is derived from corn, with the potential to be made of grasses or other plant-based materials instead of petroleum-based materials. It offers a lower environmental burden than traditional expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam, yet it performs like conventional EPS foam when managing impact energy.
“When the helmet is damaged or ready for replacement, you can disassemble the
components for recycling and composting to
further reduce environmental impact.”
In addition to a revolutionary liner, we’ve carefully considered each component of the Silo to reduce potential impact to the environment. Compared to traditional helmets, the Silo uses fewer non-renewable resources, lowers global warming potential and increases the potential to localize source materials with manufacturing. And when the helmet is damaged or ready for replacement, you can disassemble the components for recycling and composting to further reduce environmental impact. Available early 2016.

Case Project 5-1 You work at a help desk and have just received a call from an employee who says she can’t access network resources. You want the employee to view her IP address configuration. Write an e-mail to the employee, explaining what command-line program to use and how she can use it to find the information you need. After following your instructions, the employee tells you that her IP address is 169.254.14.11 with the subnet mask 255.255.0.0. What conclusion can you make from this information?
Please open a command prompt via
windows key + r
and then type
and press enter, then type
and press enter. What you will look for is the line that says ‘ipv4 address.’ Can you tell me what that line says?
Also, a 169.254 address means her computer can’t see the network. I’d recommend running ‘netsh winsock reset’ via command line, and restarting the computer. Typically just as fast as ipconfig release and ipconfig renew and fixes more problems. If that doesn’t work I’d check to make sure that the network config isn’t set to a specific ip, subnet, or dns manually and is instead using dhcp (as it probably should be).
Case Project 5-2 You have configured a LAN with 25 workstations, three network printers, and two servers. The workstations and printers will have dynamically assigned IP addresses, and the printers always need to have the same IP address assigned. The servers will have static IP addresses. What should you install on one of the servers, and what are some of the configuration options?
What I should ‘install on one of the servers’ is impossible to answer definitively because we’re not given the hardware/software configurations of those servers or their physical locations or how they connect to the network or what security concerns there are. I would set up a dhcp range of 192.168.1.2-100 and then anything after 101-253 can be manually set up on a server, printer, or some other device that requires a static ip. Any server’s operating system is likely to already have network software pre-installed to be able to handle manually setting the ip, subnet, and dns. I would recommend setting up ssh and/or http(s) as well (or rdp in the case of a windows server) to be able to access the servers remotely. For example, my mediawiki installation at home it’s accessible via http or I can access the server itself via ssh.

Artistic director of the Ed Banger label and known for his music videos for Justice, Kanye West, MGMT, and Kid Cudi, So Me is making his feature film debut with the still-untilted French feature for Netflix.
Black Swan and Ocean’s Thirteen star Cassel plays Scorpex, a once-famous DJ now on the downside who gets a chance to return to the top when an agent from French intelligence agency DGSI (played by Golden Mustache actress Laura Felpin) recruits him to take down Vestax (French YouTuber Mister V), his young and fast-rising rival on the EDM scene. Co-stars include Alexis Manenti, Déborah Lukumuena, Nina Zem, Nicolas Maury, Philippe Katerine, Kavinsky, Paul Mirabel, Panayotis Pascot, Manu Payet and Alice Moitié.
Netflix released the first image from the film (above), showing Cassel, Mister V and Felpin in front of the mixing board of a music studio.
Iconoclast, the group behind Romain Gavras’s Netflix actioner Athena, are producing the feature. Principle photography began in Paris on February 26.
Netflix has not yet announced a release date.
Cassel can next been seen in Terry McDonough’s action drama Damaged, alongside Samuel J. Jackson, Gianni Capaldi, John Hannah, and Kate Dickie.

My husband and I stayed here for the MBH&H show. We booked late and we were lucky to find a last minute cancelation at the Trade Winds, or so we thought... When we got into our room we immediately noticed a musky/amonia/pee odor, and after some google searching, we determined it was either from mice or rat urine. The room had AC (thankfully) which was a wall unit located in the bathroom (never seen that before)! The shower was just an area of the bathroom where the water drained through a covered hole in the tiled floor. Also, when we tried to open the curtains, one of the blinds fell off the track so we had to repair it in order to have some privacy. Only 2 out of the 5 outlets in the room worked so they had an extension cord tucked behind the bed with a bunch of things plugged into it - fire hazard! The pee smell was the worst part though. We didn't sleep well on the thin hard mattress either.

For more than 20 years NASA scientists have been developing a simple, high performance root medium for plants in space. By "loading" the zeolites with plant nutrients they have advanced the horticultural technology known as zeoponics into the Space Age.
A simple and environmentally friendly way of loading zeolite with nutrients is to mix the zeolite with animal manure. The zeolite adsorbs the harmful ammonia and releases it into the soil as nitrogen.
The following article about NASA's research is very interesting.
"Space Age soil mix uses centuries-old zeolites
NASA's quest for lightweight, nutrient-packed rooting medium produces new amendment for golf course soils. By Earl Allen, Ph.D. and and Richard Andrews.
Scientists at NASA's Johnson Space Center have been working since the mid-1980s to develop a simple yet highperforming root medium for plants in space. Such plants may be crucial to space exploration because they could supply oxygen and food for space crews and recycle wastes as part of a regenerative life-support system. Their root media must not be bulky, however, because spacecraft can carry only small amounts of material. After tests on Earth and in the space shuttle (4, 9, 13, 14, 15), NASA has selected several types of zeolite - mined on earth from ancient volcanic ash deposits - among its primary root media components. The zeolite's high cation-exchange capacity, high porosity, favorable moisture retention and rigid structure suit them well to space."

If you’ve decided to move forward in trying the keto diet, you will want to stick to the parameters of the eating plan. Roughly 60 to 80 percent of your calories will come from fats. That means you’ll eat meats, fats, and oils, and a very limited amount of nonstarchy vegetables, she says. (This is different from a traditional low-carb diet, as even fewer carbs are allowed on the keto diet.)
For patients who benefit, half achieve a seizure reduction within five days (if the diet starts with an initial fast of one to two days), three-quarters achieve a reduction within two weeks, and 90% achieve a reduction within 23 days. If the diet does not begin with a fast, the time for half of the patients to achieve an improvement is longer (two weeks), but the long-term seizure reduction rates are unaffected. Parents are encouraged to persist with the diet for at least three months before any final consideration is made regarding efficacy.
Bread probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when you think about the ketogenic diet because it’s generally full of carbs. But, if you replace your store-bought bread with a homemade keto bread recipe, it can fit seamlessly into your keto low-carb, high-fat diet. How does bread even become keto-friendly? With almond flour, a lot of eggs, cream of tartar, butter, baking soda and apple cider vinegar.
To minimize the risk of hypoglycemia, Yancy and his team decrease medication as soon as a patient starts the diet. While drugs like metformin and liraglutide (Victoza) are less of a concern, there are others that pose a substantial hypoglycemia threat. In addition to insulin, the sulfonylurea drugs glipizide and glyburide require a watchful eye, as they work by stimulating the pancreas to make more insulin, increasing the risk of dangerous lows in the face of insufficient carbohydrate intake. “People on this diet need to be prepared to check their blood glucose any time they feel like it could be getting too low,” says Urbanski. “I would say a minimum of twice a day, but ideally three to four times a day, at least in the beginning in order to see the effect of the diet on their blood glucose readings.”
“However, saturated fat has long been lauded as a heart-harming macronutrient; the American Heart Association recommends no more than 13 grams of saturated fat per day. In fact, Nieca Goldberg, M.D., medical director of the Joan H. Tisch Center For Women’s Health at NYU Langone Medical Center, said saturated fats can increase bad cholesterol.” -Christina Stiehl, PopSugar reporter17

Nothing I express here should be taken as medical advice and you should consult with your doctor before starting any diet or exercise program. I provide nutritional information for my recipes simply as a courtesy to my readers. It is calculated using MacGourmet software and I remove erythritol from the final carb count and net carb count, as it does not affect my own blood glucose levels.

Forget the heavy casserole recipes and try this low-carb pot pie tonight! Nothing says comfort food like a chicken pot pie. This low-carb pot pie recipe skips the traditional gluten-filled dough of chicken pot pies and replaces it with cauliflower for a more low-carb option. I simply suggest switching out the cornstarch with arrowroot or tapioca starch.
Not sure what foods you should eat on the keto diet? This keto food list will get you started. By depriving your body of glucose, the high-fat, low-carb ketogenic diet shifts your body into ketosis, a state of burning fat instead of sugar for energy. Take the guesswork out of eating keto, and follow this complete keto diet food list to start dropping weight and feel amazing.
Furthermore, humans develop a condition dubbed ‘rabbit starvation’ when they eat a diet that is low in fat and carbohydrates, and high in protein (> 35% of total daily energy intake). This is due to the inability of the human liver to sufficiently upregulate urea synthesis to meet excessive loads of protein. Consequently, hyperaminoacidemia, hyperammonemia, hyperinsulinemia, nausea, diarrhea, and even death can ensue within 2 to 3 weeks. These effects were recognized historically through the excess consumption of lean wild meat by early American explorers.
If you’re looking to get a jump start on your health and fitness goals this year, you may be thinking about trying the ketogenic diet. Maybe you’ve heard the phrase before — it’s a huge diet buzzword — but aren’t sure what it means. Here’s a primer: The ketogenic diet is an eating plan that drives your body into ketosis, a state where the body uses fat as a primary fuel source (instead of carbohydrates), says Stacey Mattinson, RDN, who is based in Austin, Texas.

A Unique vibration... the beating of your heart.
Born to tame the Pavè...but not only that.
DOGMA K8-S...beyond expectations.
For a cyclist, this photo is pure emotion; the cobblestones evoke the great races of Northern Europe,
which only the greatest of the sport have been able to tame.
For it is with emotion a cyclist can accomplish extraordinary feats but only with a bike that guarantees absolute reliability and performance.
So, the DOGMA K8-S was born to make you experience new emotions and raise your performance to new levels.
DOGMA K8-S goes beyond all expectations.
The same front triangle of theDogma F8
but with a very innovative rear triangle.
These are the shapes of the future!
Today we can announce a newly designed frame, with significant changes from the DOGMA F8, the superbike that upset the market in 2014,
becoming, in just one month,the top seller of all time for Pinarello.
That’s why the new DOGMA K8-S has in its DNA forms of the DOGMA F8,
but an innovative rear triangle that will introduce a brand new segment for the world of road bikes.
Lightweight elastomer suspension
produced by those who fly at 300 km/h
it is a good assurance?
Is it feasible that a suspension unit could weigh only 100g and yet still support the weight of an elite athlete for the full duration of a Classic parcours?
It’s the demands that we set for ourselves, and the demands that we then place on Jaguar Land Rover when we initiated our project.
The suspension of the DOGMA K8 weighs only 95 grams and is capable of supporting athletes up to 100Kg. Is this enough?
TORAYCA T1100 1K DREAMCARBON
because for a grand project,
you must start from
very solid foundations.
An innovative project like the DOGMA K8-S needed a carbon fi ber equally powerful.
As with the DOGMA F8, our elite partner, TORAY, has granted us exclusive availability to theirT11001K Dream Carbon with Nanoalloy Technology.
A fiber that has been certifi ed to be outstanding for its unique relationship of strength, lightness and stiff ness.
The same carbon fi ber used in the most modern jetliners, is today on our TOP BIKE to make you fly on the road.
A suspended Road Bike under one kilo? Yes.
SUSPENSION The word immediately evokes “more WEIGHT”, this in fact was the first challenge: create a SUSPENDED ROAD BIKE frame under one kilo.
The DOGMA K8-S Frame Kit weighs in at an amazing 990 grams including suspension. Mission accomplished ... expectations exceeded!

First test in Hell...
January 30 the cold event in the North. Engineers and Staff from Pinarello, Jaguar Land Rover and Team Sky.
Th e day before, between the cold and rain, the last details setup, the next day, a beautiful sunny day in hell consecrates the baptism of the new DOGMA K8-S.
Sir Bradley Wiggins arrives via a private fl ight directly from Mallorca. At precisely 9:00 it’s off to recon the last 130 km of the Paris-Roubaix course.
After the Arenberg forest, Sir Bradley pulls up to the team car and shares his fi rst feedback on the DOGMA K8-S: “Th is is a Game Changer”.
Always for Pinarello, size grading is not limited to larger or smaller in proportions. A 59.5 frame for example needs to be more rigid in high stress areas; on the contrary, a size 44 being
very compact, can be constructed with less material because the forces are already contained by its geometry.
The riding styles of a person 2M tall using a 62 compared to a person 1.60M using a 42 are very diff erent especially when cornering or accelerating,
thus the frame geometry and material use must be carefully consider to insure both riders experience the same “ride qualities’ of the bike.

This is a really important question for any business considering using online video... Just how long should a video on your website be? 30 seconds, 2 minutes, 10 minutes… an hour?
I did a little hunting around on the Internet for some research into this and came across some fantastic work done by a professional video hosting company called Wistia in the US.
If you’re interested you can check out their full blog article here but I’ll try sum up the important things to take away and maybe add some of my own musings in there as well…
With videos of all lengths there is a consistent viewer drop off pattern that when graphed shows a steep drop near the beginning of the video followed by a flattening off to a slow, steady drop off rate through the middle, and finally a sharp drop off again near the end (presumably as people realise the video is wrapping up and it’s ok to stop watching).
As shown in the graph though, videos of different lengths observed vastly different drop of rates at the beginning of the video, which suggests that people understandably take into consideration the time commitment required when deciding whether to keep watching. The longer the video the higher the drop off rate at the start, which leads to the conclusion that in general...
SHORTER IS BETTER... If you can get your message or content across in a more succinct video, then do so. 30 seconds however isn’t a lot of time and if the message will be compromised at all by reducing it to a 30 second sound bite then I would still recommend taking the time needed. Just keep in mind that the longer the video the more time commitment required by the viewer and therefore the greater the chance that you'll loose your viewer before the end.
A good way to tackle the problem of having too much content to get across in a video is to break a longer video down into several shorter ones. This helps the viewer organise the information in their head and to stay engaged with each topic.
Considering also the other steep drop off in the graph that happens right at the end when a video is wrapping up suggests that putting anything important right at the end (a call to action slide or your web address for example) is likely to be missed by a large number of viewers. To avoid this happening you could either incorporate this important information earlier in the video or possibly bring the video to something of an abrupt end so that viewers don't stop watching too early.
Another really interesting point that the guys at Wistia discovered is shown in this graph above where you can see that the most dramatic drop in average percentage watched can be seen in the difference between the very short videos (0-30sec, 30sec-1min, 1-2min) and again between the very long videos (10-20min, 20-30min, 30-45min). So although the average percentage viewed for videos in the middle there (between 2-3min and 5-10min) is still dropping, the difference really isn't all that great.
What all this suggests is that if your video is engaging enough to get the viewer interested in the first minute or so then most people will stick around and watch to the end as long as it doesn't require a commitment of longer than roughly 10 minutes. So if for example if you have an engaging longer form video that feels well paced at 7 minutes in length then there is probably nothing to be gained from cutting it down.
The other really important factor to add in here at this point is to consider video length from the point of view of your target audience. Ask yourself "If I was this person how much time would I happily give to watching this?" For a landing page promotional video where there is a lot of competition out there on the web and many different companies that the viewer will be wanting to check out before making a decision, you may really only have 30-60 seconds to catch the viewer's attention.
Something like a recruiting video however with a target audience of potential employees trying decide if they want to apply to work for your company will be much more willing to spend 5-10 minutes to find out about working there. Likewise with online training and content marketing videos, if you're focus is on training or solving one of the viewer's problems, then you can be confident that if it's engaging and well paced then the viewer will be more than happy to give you an appropriate amount of time.


Has Sports Betting Exploded in the U.S. in 2022?
By Space Coast Daily // September 29, 2022
Sports have been a huge part of human lives since the beginning part of time, as it is an amazing way to have fun and compete while staying fit. Sports have stayed solid and evolved over the years, bringing up more ideas and innovations revolving around them.
Technological improvements have also benefited the sports industry, making available safer and more efficient ways to engage in sports. As a result, sports betting has also surfaced and is growing rapidly.
People can now carry out Sports Betting on reliable betting sites, on whatever sports they prefer, while utilizing the best incentives. Around the world, record numbers have been seen in the increase of gamblers and bettors and the US is no exception. This article highlights if sports betting has exploded in the US in 2022.
Sports betting has boomed in the USA
Sports betting revenues totaled $2.64 billion for the first five months of 2022, according to the AGA, a Washington-based organization that represents the U.S. gaming industry.
This represents a remarkable increase of 73.5% from the same time last year. The expansion of internet sports betting in New York has contributed to such increases, among other factors. Gaming revenue in March, April, and May totaled more than $5 billion each, making those three months the three best in the history of the business.
States eager to enter the gambling industry sprinted to the market when the federal ban on sports betting in the US was lifted in 2018. And ever since, a steady stream of new states have opened their doors to companies offering gaming services.
Following a US Supreme Court decision that made it possible for all 50 states to offer sports betting where a number of states have decided to take advantage of it, Americans have wagered more than $125 billion at places where it is legally possible to do so. Customers were at risk of being harmed by unlicensed bookmakers, many of whom operated as components of organized crime, which was a key justification for the movement to legalize sports betting.
Bettors enjoy benefits
Consumers are well protected by state legislation, and watchdog authorities are on the lookout for infractions and are prepared to act. The legalization of gambling in 11 new states has contributed significantly to the rise in sports betting in recent years.
As a result, some of the biggest sportsbooks in the nation committed more than $1 billion in marketing and advertising. Sports betting is now legalized in more than 30 states in the US, with more coming up soon.
Overall, the number of bettors and gamblers in the US increased by over 30 percent in the US in recent times. The most popular sports in the US have registered the most wagers placed on them, which indicates that sports betting is greatly influenced by viewership.
Sports leagues like the NFL, NBA, and so on, have had more bets placed on them in the US, than in other sports. The future of sports betting is looking very bright, as betting is being legalized in more states in the US. With the provision of more betting sites, favorable odds, and fair bonuses, betting is set to increase drastically in years to come.

Los Angeles-based DAQRI's Smart Helmet incorporates Google Glass and augmented reality technology into a construction hardhat. So what does that offer construction contractors? The idea, is that the helmet can "augment information and data directly over the top of any work environment". DAQRI has been working on the Smart Helmet for four years. The company wanted to specifically design a product for industrial applications.
The Google Glass hardhat features a sensor bar across the brow which handles all the tracking and alignment tasks. Real-time, contextual 4D content is viewable on the HD display which is positioned beneath a protective visor. The display's fully transparent optics allow the content to be read in both low and bright light conditions. According to DAQRI, users can see 4D content through the Smart Helmet display and have the ability to touch and control the interface through inegration with devices like smart watches.
The helmet's sensor package includes an industrial-grade inertial measurement unit, a high-resolution 3D depth camera and 360-degree navigation cameras allowing the user to see the entire work environment. The helmet also supports HD video recording, photography, 3D mapping and alphanumeric capture which allows the helmet to read and understand signage and instrument data.
DAQRI also created its own software, Intellitrack, to work with the smart helmet. Intellitrack understands the context no matter where you go so the user can have 4D anywhere, according to the company. In addition, Intellitrack allows the user to recognize products, tools and equipment.
While the company won't release an exact price, one smart helmet could cost in the thousands of dollars.
What do you think? Would you use a smart helmet for your construction business?

Metal Detecting with Your Kids: Guest Post by Jami Olive:
These days, it’s all about screens with kids. They watch television, play video games, and are constantly looking down at their smartphones. It is often a struggle to even get them to go outside and play. However, if you offer them a chance to search for treasure, you might be surprised at their willingness. Metal detecting with your kids can be a great family activity that offers everyone many benefits.
Simply getting your kids outside is a huge benefit. Metal detecting is a fun outdoor activity that provides detectorist’s with some exercise and sunshine – a benefit to detectorist’s of all ages. It’s also an opportunity for you to spend some quality time with your children. You can enjoy nature together, talk about metal detecting as well as other things, and it’s a hobby that can become a common interest for you and your kids, and that’s often an elusive thing.
Finding a Detector for Your Child
If you have younger children, your detector may be too much for them to handle, so you will want to consider getting them one of their own. With kids’ metal detectors, there are some considerations to keep in mind before you make a purchase. First, there are many detectors available that aren’t much more than a toy. However, there are also some excellent quality machines out there as well. A quality metal detector will make your outings much more fruitful, and that’s what your kids will be anticipating.
Another thing to consider is what features the metal detector has. It’s a good idea to look for a detector that has an adjustable pole, so that it can grow along with your child. Additionally, looking for a lightweight design and a limited number of manual controls will make the metal detector you select a good choice for your rookie detectorist.
Doing some research before you buy is always a good idea. You can easily browse the internet for the features and options you want for your child’s detector.
Where to Take Your Kids to Metal Detect
There are a lot of fun places that you can take your kids to metal detect. Depending on the ages of your children, there are some thinks to think about. One consideration, pertaining to younger children whose attentions spans may not be great, is whether the location you are considering has other things to do. It’s probably a good idea to start with places like parks or beaches where you can detect for a while and then play or picnic. That way your kids will stay engaged and you will avoid becoming irritated when their attention on detecting wanes.
If your kids are older, then deciding where you will hunt can be a collaboration. It’s good to teach older children about the research that detectorist’s put into their hobby before they ever start swinging their detector.
Whatever your children’s ages, it’s always important to teach them about getting permission to hunt. Letting them see you obtain permission to detect is a lesson that will serve them well should they become avid detectorist’s too.

Himachal Pradesh, on the cusp of being relegated to the Plate Group owing to a winless run, will be looking to end the jinx when it meets Pondicherry in the final round of the Ranji Trophy Elite Group ‘D’ match at the Siechem Stadium on Friday.
The Ankit Kalsi-led side, having lost four out of its six games, is floundering at the bottom of the group with four points. It will rely heavily on the services of veteran all-rounder Rishi Dhawan, who is the leading run-scorer (389) and second-highest wicket-taker (19) for his team this season.
While he has got a bit of support from Prashant Chopra and Kalsi on the batting front, the collective attack from all ends is what Himachal has missed this season.
In Vaibhav Arora, the team has a wicket-taking fast bowler, but the bowling threat plummets as soon as he finishes his spell.
Given how Pondicherry’s match against J&K panned out, with spinners claiming the majority of wickets, Himachal will hope tweakers like Akash Vashist get into the act.
For the host, this season went much better than the last, where it found itself bottom-placed with only one win and five losses. Pondicherry has already won two matches this season and would want to end the campaign at its home on a high.
However, with two losses in familiar surroundings, Pondicherry hasn’t really made great use of its home conditions. The recent defeat against J&K would hurt more, especially because the side failed to chase 87.
While the batting duties have mostly been handled by Arun Karthik and Paras Dogra, Akash Kargave and Santosh Ratnaparkhe have often extended a helping hand.
In the other department, it has been a season to remember for Gaurav Yadav, who has picked 39 wickets to become the second-highest wicket-taker in the tournament. Gaurav has a partner in Sagar Udeshi, who is next in line on the wicket-takers’ list, having scalped 34 with his left-arm spin.
It will be an important game for Himachal to give itself a chance to stay among the Elites, while Pondicherry will look to end the season like it started—with a win.

External financing is typically the lifeline of a company, providing access to capital to purchase property and equipment, increase inventory, hire employees, and ultimately expand the business. Obtaining a business loan is about risk and relationships.
According to a panel of bank executives, the assessment of the degree of risk of a business is based upon various factors that are often entered into a formula. The factors are based upon both objective and subjective measures. If you have a pre-established relationship with your banker, your chances of obtaining the loan improve. However, before requesting a loan, you must be prepared with a viable business plan, sufficient cash flow to make loan repayments, adequate collateral, and a willingness to provide a personal guarantee for the loan.
Therefore, when it comes to commercial borrowing, it is important to remember the 7 C’s:
- Credit – The borrower must have good credit and any problems on the credit reports must be explained. There is a direct relationship between the owner’s personal credit history and the business’s credit history.
- Capacity – The business must be able to support its obligations and expenses, and generate a profit. Reliable financial information is a prerequisite. Audited financial statements carry much more weight than reviewed statements. Compiled financial statements provide little comfort to the lender.
- Capital – The business owner must have money or equity invested in the business. Banks prefer to lend to owners that have their own “skin in the game” and share the risk.
- Collateral – Banks want sufficient assets to secure the loan. Collateral is the secondary method of a loan repayment after cash flows. Collateral assets may be business or personal, and lenders discount the value of your collateral.
- Character – Without this, it is unlikely that the bank will provide the loan.
- Conditions – Are there any economic or industry trends that will affect your business? You must have a reasonable, comprehensive plan to address these conditions.
- Commitment – How committed is the owner to the business? Commitment comprises the ability and willingness to succeed which may involve personally guaranteeing the debt even if the company cannot pay it.
While understanding the 7 C’s may improve your business’s likelihood for obtaining a loan, there are several key points to maintaining a positive relationship with the bank.
First, remember that the bank is a partner in your business and wants you to be successful so that their loan will be repaid. Therefore, be straight-forward; don’t over- promise and under-deliver; and, to the extent possible, avoid last minute surprises.
Second, timely and accurate communication is critical to developing and maintaining trust. If conditions change in your business, develop your plan for addressing the change and discuss it with the bank.
Any forecasts or projections should be reasonable and consider different scenarios, including those most likely and the worst case. If you are projecting improved business performance, you need to be able to demonstrate how and why.
Lastly, surround yourself with other professional advisors (legal, accounting, insurance, etc.) that have your best interests in mind. They will challenge you, offer guidance, and assist you in achieving your goals.

She says she is leaving because her show is getting crummy ratings for CNN, and she wants to get out of the way. You don't usually hear such candor from an anchor -- usually they announce something along the lines of spending more time with the family, and all that baloney.
Maybe the whole rest of the folks in prime time at CNN should follow Campbell Brown's lead and quit, too, because their ratings are getting about as bad as hers were. Really, things are just bad all over at CNN in prime time, getting squeezed by Fox News on the right and MSNBC on the left.

Huawei Led Broadband Project On Track Despite Trump Administration Sanctions, Prime Minister Brigadier (R’etd) Mark Phillips Briefed
Prime Minister, Brigadier (R’etd) Mark Phillips was, today, briefed on the implementation of the National Broadband Project by Project Manager, Mr. Rosco Greene and Country Manager of Huawei, Mr. Xue Xing Huo.
The electronic transformation of the health, education and public service sectors are among the components of the Project. Permanent Secretary within the Office of the Prime Minister, Mr. Derrick Cummings also attended the meeting.
The project was designed to upgrade the national broadband Network to enable equitable delivery of services to citizens in the areas of education, health, security, government administration, business, citizenship and immigration.
To date, the improved broadband network provides internet access to 53 government ministries and agencies; to more than 95 secondary schools; the 2 campuses of the University of Guyana and the Cyril Potter College of Education; to over 37 technical/vocational institutes including the Carnegie School of Home Economics; to the offices of Regional Education Officers, and to several NGO’s.
The National Data Management Authority (NDMA) has also worked closely with communities in Regions Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Nine and Ten to establish approximately 90 ICT Hubs (to date) with computers donated by Government, thus providing nearly 200,000 citizens with access to the worldwide web. The coalition government reported a total of approximately 200 ICT hubs will be operational today.
The broadband network also connects, regional offices, public hospitals, airports, the Guyana Police Force, the Guyana Revenue Authority, the Guyana Power and Light Company and the Guyana Defence Force and other service organisations via 23 virtual private networks.
In 2017, the project was funded through a $4.696B loan from the China EXIM Bank and the contract was awarded to Huawei Technologies of China.
There has been no confirmation on whether the United States, Department of Justice indictment of Huawei for allegedly stealing U.S. technology, conspiracy, wire fraud, bank fraud, racketeering, and helping Iran to evade sanctions, amongst other charges, will affect Guyana’s current relationship with the global powerhouse.
The success of the broadband project is important to Guyana’s global competitiveness and development of both its human and natural resources. The PPPC government has also promised thousands of online academic scholarships which will require a robust and reliable internet network be made available to the citizens of Guyana.
The meeting was held in the conference room of the Office of the Prime Minister, Colgrain House, Camp Street, Georgetown.


I haven't watched the hearings enough today to really comment on the issues raised, but a few wardrobe notes:
1) It seems as though Arlen Specter has lent Chuck Schumer his tie from yesterday. That thing is green, man.
2) Something I heard on the Daily Show: While Mrs Alito looked mighty fine today sporting her crisp white pants suit and a spicy red blouse, part of the reason she was so upset yesterday that she left the hearings in tears?
Because, due to an unfortunate laundry incident yesterday (Wednesday), she was forced to show up wearing her grandmother's couch:

HORRY COUNTY, SC (WMBF) – Enrollments for the long-awaited Socastee flood buyback program have been closed, but some homeowners have said they still have doubts whether they will complete it and leave their homes.
One of them is Rosewood’s longtime neighbor Joe Reid. He said he applied for the buyback program after receiving a letter from Horry County in the mail claiming he was eligible.
“Right now, I’m just waiting in limbo with what they have to offer and what they have to say,” Reid said.
He has lived in his house since 2001 and still has watermarks from Hurricanes Matthew and Florence outside his house. It flooded again in the spring of 2021, during the last flood.
Reid said he’s worried he won’t know exactly what will happen next during the process and how long he will have to wait to find out how much he will get from his house. Horry County said it expects the process to take six to 12 months.
He said just because he applied doesn’t mean he’s ready to go.
“It’s not that I’m sick of living here, I just want to see what they say. If it’s enough to really buy me. Yes. And then maybe go somewhere else, off the coast, probably, ”he added.
Other homeowners have said they want the county to simply raise their homes rather than just offering a buyout.
The county announced this spring that it had received $ 15.6 million in federal grants for flood mitigation projects. Of these grants, $ 13 million was to be spent on the Socastee flood relief program. Horry County originally said it had enough money to cover 60 homes. After extending the deadline for more requests, the county said it received a total of 48 requests from homeowners.
The buyback request cites seven major floods in the targeted area since 2015 and asks homeowners to list the damage each flood has caused to their home. Some neighbors in Rosewood and Star Creek Circle have said they are concerned about how the county viewed their homes’ value before the storm, and not the current value, which is likely higher.
A Horry County spokesperson said appraisals are done on a case-by-case basis and the maximum a home can get is $ 250,000. The county added that it uses a different formula for properties purchased after Hurricane Florence to assess the value of the home.
Still, the county said it’s not up to them, and the way homes are rated is based on federal requirements with grants. The county also said the cabinet that helps them appraise homes is expected to start the appraisal process in a few weeks.
Although many homeowners are trying to move, many still call Socastee home. Jake Beagle said he closed his house this week.
“I didn’t hesitate to buy it too much, since it is eight feet raised, I know this area is known to be flooded, but it is eight feet off the ground. There has been only one FEMA claim in the past 10 years, ”Beagle said.
For Reid and many others, even as they make the buyout, they don’t know where they could afford to move.
“Everything is so expensive these days. Where are you going? This is what I talked about with a few neighbors of mine. Where will we go after we get out of here, you know? Where are you going ?”
