Kenneth Gibson has welcomed the passage of the Limitation (Childhood Abuse) (Scotland) Bill in the Scottish Parliament.
The Bill will have retrospective effect, removes the three year time limit during which victims of childhood abuse can bring a civil action against their abuser, meaning that survivors can pursue justice later in life.
Commenting, Kenneth Gibson said:
“This Bill is a big step forward in ensuring that survivors of childhood abuse are able to access justice later in life and it is vital that survivors have the choice to come forward as and when they feel ready to do so.
“Those who have suffered abuse as a child may delay disclosing the trauma for a host of reasons, including difficulties processing what has happened to them, feelings of shame, suppressed memories or indeed pressure from the abuser. It is important that they have the choice to take the time to come forward.
“While it remains the case that the courts will weigh up the available evidence in each individual case, these changes to the law will give survivors the all-important choice about what actions they can legally take to seek justice.”
Community Safety Minister Annabelle Ewing thanked survivors for their "bravery and persistence" in "not giving up their fight to set these injustices right". She said:
"While our police and prosecutors continue to pursue perpetrators even many years after their crimes, this Bill will strengthen access to justice.
"Survivors have been let down repeatedly: they were severely and fundamentally let down by their abuser and by the adults who were meant to protect them at the time. While raising a civil action may not be the right way forward for everyone, this bill widens the options available to survivors seeking redress."
The Limitation (Childhood Abuse) (Scotland) Bill was introduced in the Scottish Parliament by the SNP Government on the 16th November 2016, and was designed to improve the lives of survivors of historical childhood abuse in Scotland.
Prior to the passage of this Bill victims had just three years from the date of their assault or from their 16th birthday to bring a court action. This time limit has been removed.
The new Bill oes not enable claims to be brought in respect of abuse which took place prior to 1964. Holyrood’s Justice Committee has called for the SNP Government to explore other options for redress for this group.
The circumstances giving rise to the court action must be defined as sexual, physical or emotional abuse.
An independent Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry into historical child abuse is currently under way, led by Judge Lady Smith.
More than 60 institutions, including several top private schools and church bodies, are being investigated.

Apple AirTags are $29 devices you place on an item—keys, wallet, backpack—and use to track them down should they be lost or stolen. But how does it work? It's all thanks to a technology called ultra-wideband (UWB).
UWB is not new. Its appearance in the AirTags is akin to the actor who has a breakthrough performance in time for the Oscars after working for decades in Hollywood. Known as "pulse radio" in the early 2000s, UWB was all about fast, wireless data transfers. It tried to compete with Wi-Fi, but largely ended up in some limited medical and military equipment.
The name "ultra-wideband" comes from the ability to transmit info across a wide radio bandwidth, from 500MHz to several gigahertz. That gives it a short range. Ultimately, it's a radio tech a lot like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but it doesn't use the 2.4GHz frequencies. That makes UWB compatible with other wireless technologies—there's no signal interference. It's also low power and provides data in real-time thanks to pulses sent every other nanosecond.
That is why UWB excels at the job it has today: Finding things. The days of trying to use it for data communication are over. Today's UWB can accurately pinpoint other devices, tell you if it's in motion, and lead you to it. UWB can, in theory, pinpoint things down to the centimeter. Walls and other obstacles are not much of an issue.
Other real-world possibilities for UWB include using it in smart locks for passive, keyless entry, which means the tech can tell not only if you're approaching, but also if you're inside or outside the building or car. It could even start the vehicle for you. It could power a new wave of garage door openers that don't require you to push a button. You could skip having a debit card when you approach an ATM, or carrying a credit card for payment since the robot in the drive-thru window will know you're waiting for your fries and a shake. Sharing and data transfers, AirDrop-style, will take on entirely new dimensions with better location awareness, something Samsung is already working on with its Nearby Share app. UWB could even help us all keep a decent social distance of six feet via warnings to our devices.
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth can try, but neither can determine a location with the exactitude of UWB.
Plus, UWB is locked down. It has security extensions built right into the specification (the PHY layer of IEEE 802.15.4z, to be precise), so it can do random number generation and cryptography. What does that mean to you? You probably don't need a VPN to secure your smart tracking tags, at the very least. That'll be important if it's unlocking your doors, as well as giving away your location.
This is mostly built on work being done by an industry group called the FiRa (fine ranging) Consortium. Ranging, in this case, means measuring. FiRa exists to grow the ecosystem of UWB products. Adoption by big-name companies in smartphones will do exactly that.
But there's also the Car Connectivity Consortium and the UWB Alliance, which formed in 2018, ahead of FiRa. They all may have competing UWB tech out there someday, which would be unfortunate, but hopefully they'll work together on different aspects of UWB.
UWB sensors were first built into the iPhone 11, plus Apple Watch Series 6, in 2019 as Apple prepared for the future, but not in all countries. Samsung started putting them in the Galaxy line with the Note 20, S21 Ultra 5G, and S21+, ready to work with its own SmartTag+. (The less expensive Galaxy SmartTag is Bluetooth-only.) China's Huawei is also reportedly looking into it. At this point, expect that every company, even car companies, are looking closely at UWB.
Apple's application of the tech is uniquely Apple-centric, of course. UWB's range isn't that much better than that of Bluetooth, around 30 feet, but Apple's implementation means that if an AirTag is active around any Apple device with UWB built-in, the AirTag can still be tracked by the owner. (For more details, read our Apple AirTag review).

The commuter train that jumped its tracks in the Bronx was barreling into a curve at nearly three times the posted speed when it derailed, killing four passengers, federal safety officials said Monday.
Preliminary data from the event recorders aboard the train clocked it at 82 mph as it approached the 30-mph curve, where the Hudson and Harlem rivers converge, National Transportation Safety Board member Earl Weener told reporters. The data show the engineer cut the throttle and slammed on the brakes, but those moves came "very late in the game," Weener said.
"This is raw data off the event recorders, so it tells us what happened. It doesn't tell us why it happened," Weener said.
Investigators questioned the engineer, William Rockefeller, and the rest of the train crew on Monday. Rockefeller told investigators he applied the brakes, but the train didn't slow down, according to a law enforcement official who was at the scene and is familiar with the investigation.
NTSB Expert Mary Schiavo says "It certainly looks like operator error but there certainly could be other reasons why the train was going over speed."

But where are you the safest on a train?
CNN's Chris Lawrence talks to a former managing director of the NTSB, Peter Goelz, who says the middle car gives you the best odds of being protected if the train smashes into something or gets rear-ended by another train.

DPM - do the particles affect the liquid?
I am using Discrete Particle Modeling (DPM). I know that DPM assumes the particles as point masses, with the diameter and the density used only to calculate parameters like the Body Force, and have no physical significance.
Since the particle diameter is used for evaluating the body force, which in turn governs the motion of the particles in a fluid medium, it means that the DPM certainly looks at the fluid interacting with the particles.
However, my question is, does DPM account for the effect that the particles have on the fluid? Do these particles transfer any momentum back to the fluid? Or is DPM formulated on the assumption that the particles are too small to cause any significant change to the fluid flow pattern.

Saint John alt-metal revivalists Sonic Detour continue their string of video releases with their latest, filmed on stage at the Imperial Theatre.
Saint John alt-metal revivalists Sonic Detour continue their string of video releases in support of the band’s debut self-titled debut EP. Their fourth video, this time supporting the song Cliché, was filmed on stage at the Imperial Theatre and features direction by Lauchlan Ough. Created with support from the theatre’s Incubator Project, a community initiative that gives local artists and groups a chance to explore new ideas on stage with the full support of Imperial staff, this latest chapter in Sonic Detour’s video rollout plays heavily on juxtaposition from the venue itself to costume design and editing.
“Starting a band during a pandemic was not only insane but completely necessary,” said the band. “We only wanted to create something new that we could listen to while still capturing a nostalgic feeling. Now we have our sights set a little higher. This is the first video we did not do ourselves. If you haven’t already heard, we plan on releasing a video for every song on our debut EP. This being number four, we have only a few left. Once all seven videos are released we’ll will have new material for the world.”

Seaweed for all the Family
Introducing Doctor Seaweed’s Weed & Wonderful
Seaweed is increasingly recognised for its unrivalled potential by health and nutritional professionals. A naturally rich source of iodine, seaweed is particularly beneficial to expectant and new mums, growing kids and teenage girls – who all need this essential micronutrient in their diet. Pioneering the introduction of seaweed to UK families, is marine biologist, Dr Craig Rose, AKA Doctor Seaweed®, who wants to demonstrate that seaweed isn’t weird – it’s wonderful!
Under the Weed & Wonderful brand, Doctor Seaweed has launched four certified organic and vegan products, including Organic Scottish Seaweed Capsules. These supplements contain 100% specially selected Organic Hebridean Ascophyllum seaweed powder which is sustainably harvested in the pristine Scottish sea lochs around the remote islands of the Outer Hebrides.
An ocean’s bounty
Iodine has played a vital role in our evolutionary story. It continues to be crucial to human development today, with the World Health Organisation (WHO) reporting that ‘iodine deficiency is the world’s most prevalent, yet easily preventable, cause of brain damage.’* Unfortunately the UK is one of two high-income countries with iodine deficiency issues – and has a rate worse than South Sudan.
Required to support healthy thyroid function and our metabolism, iodine is vitally important for the development of the nervous system and cognitive abilities in infancy and childhood.
A natural, sustainable, organic source of iodine
As the body cannot synthesise iodine, it must be obtained through diet; primarily fish, dairy and seaweed – the only vegan source. Weed & Wonderful’s seaweed is specifically selected for its natural iodine levels and every batch is assessed and authenticated. Additionally, this specific source of seaweed has been evaluated to release iodine more slowly, with longer retention in the body compared to artificial sources (such as potassium iodide) that are often used in other supplements.
Two capsules of Weed & Wonderful contain as much iodine as three whole mackerel; as much potassium as 8g of banana; as much calcium as 15ml of milk; and as much iron as 30g of spinach.
Vitally important for expectant and new mums
Iodine is a hugely important nutrient for mums-to-be to ensure the correct metabolic and cognitive growth of their babies. It remains so for newborns and breastfeeding mums. Seaweed capsules can be taken before and after conception, ensuring babies have the best start possible.
Encouraging children to eat their greens
Oily fish is one of the best ways to consume iodine but the smell can sometimes put off notoriously fussy youngsters. The Weed & Wonderful Seaweed capsules contain all the goodness of three pieces of fish, but they have no smell or taste making them an appealing and easy option to serve to children.
Two-thirds of teenage girls are iodine deficient
Teenage girls remain the most at risk category with 76% of them in the UK having a diet that is iodine deficient.** It is crucial at a time of rapid growth and hormonal change that they supplement their diet with the vital nutrient. Weed & Wonderful capsules are an easy way to ensure they have the right nutritional balance.
Doctor Seaweed explains; “Weed & Wonderful is reinvigorating the forgotten, highly-nutritious food source of seaweed. It has a vital role in the food chain by offering a sustainable solution to help improve our health – particularly for expectant mums and their babies, as well as children and teenage girls. Our seaweed capsules are an easy, fuss-free way for parents to ensure their children are getting the iodine they need now and in the future.”

As much as I love a dinner recipe, I am a snacker at heart. I could snack all day and just eat a light dinner and be happy. Since I work from home, I have easy access to my fridge to indulge my tendencies.
Unfortunately or fortunately, I’m attempting to straighten my teeth and I’ve realized my love of snacking is just slightly outpowered by my laziness. To avoid removing my Invisalign and brushing my teeth too many times each day, I’ve been forced to eat actual meals. Don’t worry, I’ve found a way to snack and eat meals: adult lunchables. All my snacks on one plate!
This post is less of a recipe and more inspiration. I’ve included a recipe for basic hummus and a tangy mustard sauce. I have included my recommendations within each meal but use your favorite cheese, crackers and chicken sausage. I highly recommend trying Gilberts Chicken Sausage! I have been buying Gilberts for over a year and love how they individually package each link. I keep them in the freezer and pull out the links as needed since they quickly defrost. As it is fully cooked chicken, you don’t need to cook at all before adding to your meal but I personally like a little crisp on the edge.
*This post is not sponsored but Gilberts has recently reached out and provided a free package coupon.
Adult Lunchable - 2 ways
1/4 cup Cucumber slices
1/2 cup Carrot sticks
1 link Chicken Sausage, sliced and seared, I recommend Gilberts Kale Chicken Sausage
1 serving size Crackers of your preference. Firehook are my favorite
6 slices Havarti Cheese
1/2 cup Hummus
Blend 1 can chickpeas, 2 TBS Tahini, 1 TBS Lemon Juice, 3 tsp minced garlic, 1 TBS olive oil, and 1/4 cup water. (add more water as needed to reach desired consistency)
I have included recommendations on amounts of each item but as this is a snack plate, increase or decrease as you need for your appetite. The hummus recipe will make extra so you’ll have more to use throughout the week.
4 large Lettuce cups
Mustard sauce (Mix 1 1/2 TBS Delicatessen style mustard, 1 tsp red wine vinegar, 1 tsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp honey)
1/4 cup carrot slices
1 serving size Crackers of your preference.
6 slices Havarti Cheese
1 link chicken sausage. I recommend Gilberts Kale Chicken Sausage, sliced and seared
I recommend adding ingredients to the lettuce cup, rolling up and eating along side a cracker.

Marks of Excellence
In diesem Bereich das definitiv beste Buch: »Finding the roots of trademarks in heraldry, potter’s marks, monograms, and other such ancient devices, this book traces the history of the corporate visual lexicon and produces a taxonomy of the commercial age. An alphabetical section covers motifs from animals to waves, with short definitions and analyses beautifully complemented by daringly cropped and crisply photographed images. Pictures of this quality and interest would steal the show in most volumes, but the text stands up well to the challenge of images that gain force because of the familiarity of their subjects (corporate trademarks), and the unusual sense that the book’s context lends to them. Marks of Excellence is a worthwhile exploration at the modern language of ownership.«

The victory in Tunisia was of immense significance. Barely a year after the catastrophic defeats of the summer of 1942, the shores of North Africa were in Allied hands.
At the same time as this military change happened, the soldiers of the British Army in Africa became more politicised. The desire for social change, as expressed in the Beveridge Report, spread quickly among the troops in Tunisia. This political awakening influenced the soldiers’ vote in Labour’s electoral success at the end of the war.

taco, puttin on the ritz.
Taco's version was released as single from album After Eight in 1983 and became a major hi. It became number 1 on the US Cash Box Top 100 Singles Chart, in Sweden and New Zealand. It reached number 2 in Canada, Norway and on Billboard Hot 100 Chart in the United States.
Puttin' On the Ritz" is a song written by Irving Berlin. He wrote it in May 1927 and first published it on December 2, 1929. It was registered as an unpublished song August 24, 1927 and again on July 27, 1928. It was introduced by Harry Richman and chorus in the musical film Puttin' On the Ritz (1930). According to The Complete Lyrics of Irving Berlin, this was the first song in film to be sung by an interracial ensemble.
The expression "Puttin' On The Ritz" means to dress fashionably. The saying comes from the upscale Ritz-Carlton hotel company. Born in Jakarta, Indonesia to Dutch parents on July 21, 1955, Taco Ockerse (yes, it's his real name) was raised in Germany, where he studied dance and theater. Taco's follow-up album was also named after an Irving Berlin song he covered, "Let's Face the Music and Dance. He also did Berlin's "Cheek to Cheek.

Opening Opportunities for People with Disabilities
Living with a disability in Serbia has often meant being poor and unemployed. Over 70% of people with disabilities lived in poverty; only 13% had access to employment. Limited social support systems and stigma, among other factors, have entrenched their marginalization.
In 2003, Serbia's national poverty strategy for the first time recognized that people with disabilities—comprising about 10% of the entire population—were a vulnerable group requiring extra assistance.
At the time, UNDP was already involved in assisting national efforts to combat poverty and improve social inclusion. With UNDP support, the Government adopted national laws to define and uphold the rights of people with disabilities, and extended new systems of support, including for health, education and employment. In. 2006, it established the National Strategy for Improving the Position of Persons with Disabilities along with an action plan. The same year, Serbia became the first country in South-East Europe with a law to prevent discrimination—fewer than 50 countries in the world have a similar statute specific to disabilities.
Soon, reforms were underway to assist children with disabilities in attending school, to dismantle some of the large institutions that tend to warehouse people with disabilities away from mainstream society, and to provide more readily accessible social services in smaller communities.
UNDP’s engagement in Improving the Position of Persons with Disabilities in Serbia included a variety of activities under three pillars:
- Adoption of the Strategy for Improving the Position of Persons with Disabilities
- Adoption of the Law on Prevention of Discrimination of Persons with Disabilities
- Ratification of UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
- Adoption of the Law on Professional Rehabilitation and Employment of Persons with Disabilities
1) Policy advice –development of key human rights and employment laws which introduced innovative mechanisms for improving the position of persons with disabilities. At the same time, UNDP published the Guide on Accessibility and Guide for Employment of Persons with Disabilities.
2) Cooperation with disabled persons’ organizations – support was provided for watchdog and advocacy activities, public hearings in the Parliament, and social services at the local level.
3) Direct support for employment of persons with disabilities. UNDP supported the reform of 34 sheltered workshops which employed over 1,000 persons with disabilities, by making them more market-oriented while preserving their social role. Under this pillar, the Programme was providing subsidies, work placements, vocational training, start-up and accessibility grants through the Youth Employment Fund in 40 municipalities in Serbia.
Today, the previous notion of medical and humanitarian assistance to PWD is giving way to a more social approach, ensuring that all persons have access to daily services on an equal basis. UNDP supported the process of harmonizing Serbia’s legislation with provisions of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the ratification of the Convention in 2009 and UNDP supported the development of capacities for monitoring and follow-up. UNDP supported the introduction of innovative measures such as the employment quota system in the Law on Professional Rehabilitation and Employment of Persons with Disabilities. As a result of these efforts, over 3,000 persons with disabilities found employment in 2010, compared to 400-600 in previous years. In addition, the fines charged to companies that do not employ a sufficient number of persons with disabilities are used as a resource for new support programmes in this area.
Jelena Petrovic once faced obstacles to finding a job, including the prejudice of prospective employers against hiring someone with a hearing impairment. Now she works as an administrative assistant, and her employer is training her in accounting. A joint UN programme, the Youth Employment Fund, provided her with training and placement services to start her new life.
"I'm really happy to be working," she says with a smile. "Other employees have confidence in me. That is really motivating and inspiring."

Back in the early days of the commonwealth, Lexington and Louisville were about as different as two cities could be.
The Bluegrass metropolis, for a time the largest city west of the Alleghenies, fancied itself an extension of Virginia. Its beau ideal, Henry Clay, had traveled west from Virginia, as had many of the early residents of the town. It boasted elegant streets and spacious homes.
A hundred miles west on the Ohio River, Louisville's origins were far different. The river city was settled by hardy pioneers, many of whom came from the East and were dissatisfied with their lot in life there. Always a bit rowdy, known for its brothels and barrooms, Louisville grew because of its location, soon outpacing Lexington in both wealth and population.
Fast forward to 2011, with two new leaders, both young entrepreneurs interested in setting a new course in partnership, not in competition. Together, they creatively sought support from the Brookings Institution to do a study that explores how to build the corridor between the two cities (which also includes the capital city, Frankfort) to the advantage of both.
The economic development impact of this approach will be felt all around the Commonwealth. What can Owensboro learn from this initiative? Would a similar super regional arrangement with Evansville or Bowling Green provide similar benefit to this region and part of the state?

IDG News Service - Ericsson has unveiled a Wi-Fi access point and controller for offloading cellular traffic in densely populated areas such as stadiums. Its goal is to allow users to switch seamlessly from the cellular network to a local Wi-Fi network to solve network congestion problems.
The company sees it as a way to give thousands of spectators the bandwidth needed to update their Twitter and Facebook statuses on their phones while they all watch the same game or concert. It could also allow sports fans to see instant action replays on their phones from their stadium seats, or for music fans to upload photos and videos of a concert as it happens.
Stadiums are so densely packed that networks easily get congested, said Sheila Burpee Duncan, Ericsonn's head of Wi-Fi marketing, at the Broadband World Forum in Amsterdam on Tuesday. That's a problem for customers, who are frustrated by the poor service, and for operators, who miss out on potential revenue.
To mitigate those network problems Ericsson has launched the WIC 8000 Wi-Fi controller and the AP 5114 Wi-Fi access point. Combined, they create a local Wi-Fi network that integrates with the mobile network and is optimized for use in stadiums, shopping malls and other densely populated areas, Ericsson said.
The access points can be positioned very close to one another to increase available bandwidth for each user. That poses a problem, though: There are only four non-overlapping 2.4GHz Wi-Fi channels, so access points that are close to each other tend to interfere.
"The interference is a challenge and that is why we use interference mitigation techniques in the software," she said.
As spectators come into the stadium, their data traffic can automatically be switched from their cellular provider to the Wi-Fi network, said Burpee Duncan. "There are a number of different ways you can do it," she said. At the Broadband World Forum Ericsson demonstrated the use of ANDSF (Access Network Discovery and Selection Function), a feature of 3G networks, to invoke an automatic connection to a network, but it could also have used MAC Authentication or Hotspot 2.0, according to Burpee Duncan.
Ericsson's handover technique works with Wi-Fi enabled phones and tablets including the latest iPhones and Samsung smartphones.
Each of the Wi-Fi access points can generate up to 16 different SSIDs, allowing the creation of up to 16 virtual access point networks. "That enables multiple mobile operators on the same Wi-Fi network, but with a connection to their own back office," she said.
Operators in turn can use those connections for roaming and wholesale agreements as well as hosted models, she said.
When a phone hands over to a Wi-Fi access point, Ericsson's controller connects it to the appropriate carrier's core network. There, the operator can choose to deduct data usage on the Wi-Fi network from the subscriber's data plan, or to offer the Wi-Fi service for free, said Burpee Duncan. "That really depends on the subscription."

While it is possible to sublimate nylon at low temperatures, there are many types of nylon and they react differently to dyes.
There are some nylon fabrics that are pre-treated with additives to help with dye absorption, and the ones most commonly used in textiles are nylon 6. The latter, nylon 66, can be harder to dye, but it has a higher melting point at 265 C. Nylon 6 has a melting point of 215 C.
There are a lot of mixed reactions online. Some printers claim that nylon will take on a more light vintage print, while some say that it can be even more vibrant that polyester. Some say that dye retention is great after washing while others say there will be transfer. However, there is a tendency for the dye to oxidize in the sunlight, which will fade over time.
So why nylon instead of polyester? It all comes down to what the fabric is being used for. For performance, polyester has better moisture wicking properties and pilling resistance (nylon absorbs more water, stays wet longer, and will impede breathability). The great thing about nylon is that it lasts longer (when dry) and it is much softer, smoother, and stretchier; as silk substitutes, nylon is great for hosiery and knitted garments.
If you believe nylon is still the better option for you, the key is to test, test, test. Each fabric blend must be tested to determine whether it is suitable for printing or not, as well as what temperature and time works best. So for your next sublimation printing project on nylon, let us help! Summer is coming and nylon sublimation is perfect for swimwear!

Building Excellence magazine featured R.E. Dimond and Associates renovation of Indiana State University’s Mill’s Hall as an example of a modern, efficient heating and cooling building system design in a building that was really never designed for it. Multiple aspects of energy efficiency including Silver LEED certification and a projected 18.2 percent savings of total energy costs over a baseline system contributed to the recognition of R.E. Dimond’s design.
Additionally, the renovation of Steak ‘n Shake’s 100 year old downtown Indianapolis headquarters was highlighted in this issue. The utilization of the VRF heating and cooling system paired with an energy recovery wheel in the rooftop ventilation unit and LED lighting design saved 45% compared to the Indiana Energy Code.

Are you looking to take care of some plumbing projects on your own? You’ll need to find downloadable plumbing tutorials to learn how to do them.
The average cost of a plumber is $303, so it makes perfect financial sense to try to take on a few plumbing jobs at home.
Would you like to learn where you can find the best tutorials on DIY plumbing projects? Keep reading to learn which projects you can do at home and find downloadable resources to learn how to do them.
What Projects Are Best for DIY?
There are many plumbing projects that you can DIY. Then there are others that are best left to the professionals.
The best projects to work on are simple leaks or clogs. If you’re looking to install a new faucet or shower head, those are other easy DIY projects that you can do in a short amount of time.
Other projects should be handled with care and caution. If you’re intimidated by any of these projects, it’s okay to call a professional. Otherwise, if you have the technical know-how and confidence, you can do them yourself.
These projects include installing a new dishwasher, garbage disposal or a toilet. The concerns with doing this project yourself would be leaks and flooding due to improper installation.
When Should You Call a Professional?
There are some projects that should be left to professional plumbers.
For any plumbing project on a new property, call a plumber to take a look at your plumbing lines first. They can make sure your lines are within code and they can guide you on how your lines run so you can complete your project without any issues.
For frozen pipes, it is best to contact a plumber to make sure your pipes thaw properly and don’t burst.
If you’re in a dire situation, you can always Google a plumber and call from your phone. For example, if a mishap is in Toronto, a quick search for plumber Toronto will bring up plumbers you can call right away.
Home renovations and anything to do with moving pipes will require permits and professional help. By doing these projects yourself, you run the risk of having to replace work that is deemed illegal. That can cost you more money in the long run.
Broken pipes also require the expertise of a plumber. That’s because if you do this on your own, you’ll replace the broken pipe, but you probably won’t be able to figure out why the pipe broke.
The Best DIY Plumbing Projects with Downloadable Tutorials
The first thing you need to know about any plumbing project is how to shut off the water. Yes, you can shut off the water to your home! You should know where this is located and practice shutting the valve on and off before you have any sort of emergency.
You certainly don’t want to be in a situation where you’re toilet is overflowing and you’re in a panic trying to find where the valve is.
In the majority of homes, you’ll find the water valve where the water enters the home, or by the water meter. The water can be shut off at individual fixtures like a sink or toilet by shutting off the valve behind the toilet or under the sink.
1. Sink Installation
Are you getting ready to replace a drop in sink? You’ll want to have this handy guide from Home Depot. These are for Swanstone Sinks, but it will give you a general idea as to how it’s done. Check with your sink manufacturer for specific instructions related to your sink.
2. Find Hidden Leaks
The City of Gainsville, Georgia has this handy guide to help you find leaks in your home. Over a million gallons of water are wasted every day in this small city due to hidden leaks.
3. Stop a Running Toilet
Did you know that toilets are the number one source of hidden leaks? Not only that, but running toilets are the most costly and wasteful leaks. This guide from New York City will help you stop your running toilet.
4. Fix a Clogged Toilet
This guide from Kissler Plumbing Repair Parts & Specialty Items helps you fix that stubbornly clogged toilet. The great thing about this guide, in particular, is that it shows you how a toilet operates.
You also have a simple step-by-step guide as to how to fix it.
5. Leaking Water Heater
Working on a leaking water heater is possible thanks to this guide from Whirlpool. It is specific for Whirpool models. You will want to check with your water heater’s manufacturer for more specific instructions.
Where to Find Downloadable Tutorials
If you’re just starting to dive into DIY plumbing, there are a wealth of resources to learn how to handle the projects.
There are many DIY home renovation shows where you can watch and learn, but downloadable resources are great to have. That way, you can refer to them while you’re working on the job.
If you’re working on a specific plumbing project, you can check with a plumbing parts store, do a search on Google, or check with the manufacturer.
You’ll also notice that on this list, there were downloadable tutorials from Gainesville, GA and New York City. Many municipalities are struggling to keep up with water demands. They’re looking for new ways to conserve water. A place for them to start is to work with property owners and educate them on fixing leaks and running water.
Government involvement in water conservation isn’t new. In 1940, the US Department of Agriculture published this guide to show you how to fix simple repairs on your own.
If you want something more advanced, you could also get this Plumber Training Course Manual.
DIY Plumbing Doesn’t Have to be Intimidating
Working on plumbing projects on your own can be intimidating at first. But with the right resources and guides, you can take on projects like leaky faucets.
There are many guides and manuals for download, which is the great thing about the internet.
For other great downloads, check out our database of downloadable repair manuals.

The Washington Wizards star recently took some time out of his day to let everyone know that his one-time beef with Kobe was over when he told Gilbert Arenas on his The No Chill Podcast that Kobe was better than Jordan.
“Like I told you earlier, I think he’s better than Jordan and I only say that because I feel like everything Jordan did, he did it better.”
Here’t the full episode:
Such an interesting argument from Howard, seeing as how Kobe and Dwight never really got along after he decided not to re-sign with the Lakers and take his talents to the Houston Rockets a few years ago. The two would end up getting into an on-court altercation that produced the clip of Kobe shaking his head at Howard and yelling out, “soft.”

|Plot Summary of Two O'Clock, Eastern Wartime|
Scribner, Jan 2001, 26.00, 478 pp.
In 1942 Southern California, writer Jack Dulaney loves the untouchable Holly Carnahan. Jack struggles with producing a second novel, earning money by walking horses at the track. When Holly flees to Regina Beach, New Jersey in search of her missing dad, Jack follows out of concern for his beloved's safety.
In the Jersey south shore community, Jack lands a job as a writer at radio station WHAR. He soon realizes that he is quite good at cranking out well-written radio dramas. Perhaps it is because of his writing skills that allow Jack to notice the strange behavior on the part of WHAR employees. He finds sudden disappearances as mysterious as the disappearance of Holly's dad and certain links to the Nazis. Jack worries that Holly is in danger while she is concerned that her actions brought danger to him.
TWO O'CLOCK, EASTERN WARTIME is a fabulous historical fiction novel that vividly brings to life a small East Coast community during World War II. The historical perspective, especially that of the powerful role of radio as a forerunner of television, is brilliantly depicted. The mystery stays subtlety in the shadows, truly enhancing John Dunning's homage to the communication role radio played during wartime. Fans of World War II dramas will find Mr. Dunning's novel endearing for its resplendent account of a bygone era.

30 Years Ago, The Ozone Hole Wasn’t The Political Football That Climate Change Is Today
The hole in the Earth’s ozone was quite the sensation in the late 80s. Two faded pictures that hang on Brian Toon‘s office wall at the University of Colorado Boulder are a testament to the attention. One is from an airplane as he flew over the South Pole. The second, taken from the ground, is of his plane’s exhaust plume.
“It was in such a remote part of the world that it was very difficult to make observations there or have any idea what was going on,” Toon said.
In 1987, Toon was in on groundbreaking studies of the ozone layer, participating in the Airborne Antarctic Ozone Experiment, which was based out of Punta Arenas, Chile. The problem was alarming. Scientists had just discovered a huge hole in the ozone over South Pole.
Ozone high up in the atmosphere absorbs most of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation. We need it to help prevent things like skin cancer. Toon and other scientists wanted to know why this hole appeared every spring near one of the coldest places on Earth. He and others gathered reams of data. They tested out theories.
An early one thought chemicals from airplane engines were to blame. As Toon recounted, after their research flights all the data would be printed on paper charts, “little wiggly lines” he called them, and hung up on the wall. “And so...you rush over and see, oh, they didn’t see any nitrogen oxides, that answer’s gone,” said Toon, who explained airplanes weren’t the problem. Chemicals in certain products were to blame.
Retired National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientist Sam Oltmans, who still consults with the agency today, said that back in 1987 “there was never anything like this before.” Early in his career, Oltmans helped collect baseline data when the ozone layer was healthy. By the mid-1980s it wasn’t.
Later that decade scientists identified chemicals in hairspray and air conditioners as the cause.
“There was some resistance from particular, like the manufacturers at first,” Oltmans said. “But unlike climate change it wasn’t political litmus test.”
So what brought about the change and started the ozone hole on the path to healing?
In September 1987, the U.S. and about two dozen other countries signed the Montreal Protocol to reduce production and consumption of the offending chemicals, known as chlorofluorocarbons.
As David Fahey, co-chair of the Montreal Protocol’s Scientific Assessment Panel and director of the Chemical Sciences Division at NOAA’s Boulder, Colorado, Lab, put it “In 1987, they all agreed to build a brake pedal. It’s not going to prevent the automobile crash. It just means you’re going to crash at a slightly slower speed.”
As scientists learned more through research, leaders were able to revise the agreement. They phased out other ozone depleting substances.
“Science played a key role…each time the parties came together and considered this,” Fahey said.
Over the years, climate change became part of the discussion. It turned out many chemicals that ate away at ozone also contributed to climate change. As recently as 2016, world leaders decided to phase out even more harmful chemicals.
The Montreal Protocol achieved many successes. As Brian Toon at CU Boulder reflected on his mission 30 years ago, he’s puzzled why the U.S. struggles to address climate change today.
“Americans build things. Americans solve problems. If there is a mystery, the American spirit is go solve the mystery,” he said. “So Americans are going to go stick their head in the sand and say, ‘Oh, I don’t understand climate science so I’m going to ignore it.’”
Scientists say the ozone hole over Antarctica is no longer growing. It’s expected to take decades to recover. Ozone researchers tracking that have a new challenge. As scientific knowledge around climate change develops, it makes their job even more complicated.

Hollow nitrogen-containing core/shell fibrous carbon nanomaterials as support to platinum nanocatalysts and their TEM tomography study
© Zhou et al; licensee Springer. 2012
Received: 14 October 2011
Accepted: 2 March 2012
Published: 2 March 2012
Core/shell nanostructured carbon materials with carbon nanofiber (CNF) as the core and a nitrogen (N)-doped graphitic layer as the shell were synthesized by pyrolysis of CNF/polyaniline (CNF/PANI) composites prepared by in situ polymerization of aniline on CNFs. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared and Raman analyses indicated that the PANI shell was carbonized at 900°C. Platinum (Pt) nanoparticles were reduced by formic acid with catalyst supports. Compared to the untreated CNF/PANI composites, the carbonized composites were proven to be better supporting materials for the Pt nanocatalysts and showed superior performance as catalyst supports for methanol electrochemical oxidation. The current density of methanol oxidation on the catalyst with the core/shell nanostructured carbon materials is approximately seven times of that on the catalyst with CNF/PANI support. TEM tomography revealed that some Pt nanoparticles were embedded in the PANI shells of the CNF/PANI composites, which might decrease the electrocatalyst activity. TEM-energy dispersive spectroscopy mapping confirmed that the Pt nanoparticles in the inner tube of N-doped hollow CNFs could be accessed by the Nafion ionomer electrolyte, contributing to the catalytic oxidation of methanol.
Keywordscarbon nanofiber N-doping core/shell polyaniline catalyst support methanol oxidation TEM tomography
The supporting materials of electrochemical catalysts have been shown to have great effects on the electrochemical performance of the catalysts . Many kinds of carbon nanomaterials, such as carbon black, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphenes, have been studied as supports for platinum (Pt)-based electrochemical catalysts [2–5]. Conductive polymers are another type of catalyst supports and are believed to provide both electron and proton conductions in the catalyst layer of the electrode of a fuel cell [6–9]. It was concluded that polyaniline (PANI) in the catalyst in the anode was beneficial in the absorption of water and formation of an active oxy-compound Pt-OHads, which would promote oxidizing CO to CO2 and Langmuir absorption of methanol . Recently, nitrogen (N)-doped carbon materials seemed promising catalyst supports through the effects of N-doping on surface physicochemical properties, electron transfer and nanostructures of the supports and catalysts, which exhibited higher catalytic activity and durability [11–15]. Two methods have been usually employed for the synthesis of N-doped carbon nanomaterials: by direct N-doping during preparation of the carbon nanomaterials and treatment of the carbon composites with N-containing precursors [11–19]. PANI could be a good candidate for such precursors owing to the facile post-treatment for its carbonization [14, 15, 18–20]. Also, it exhibits a strong interaction with aromatic graphenes in carbon nanomaterials, which facilitates easy fabrication of uniform nanostructured carbon/PANI composites. Moreover, Pt catalysts supported by CNT/PANI composites have been demonstrated to have excellent electrochemical activity for methanol oxidation [21–24]. Thus, it is expected that the electrochemical catalytic performance of catalysts supported by carbon/PANI composites can be further improved by N-doping of the composite supports followed by carbonization. In this work, a simple method to prepare N-doped carbon nanofibers (CNFs) by carbonization of preformed PANI was developed. It was found that the carbonization treatment of the CNF/PANI composites greatly increased the electrochemical catalytic activity for methanol oxidation in fuel cells. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) tomography was used to examine the dispersion of Pt nanoparticles in the catalyst supports.
In situ polymerization to prepare CNF/PANI core/shell composites
CNF (Pyrograf Products Inc., Cerdaville, OH, USA) was first treated with a conventional chemical oxidation method using concentrated nitric acid to remove the metal impurities. The CNF/PANI nanocomposite was prepared using the following procedure. A given amount of carbon nanofiber powder obtained above and 1 ml aniline were put into 50 ml 1 mol/L HCl solution (weight ratio between CNF and aniline was 2:3). Then, 2.5 g FeCl3.6H2O in 20 ml solution was added into the mixture. The mixture was constantly stirred for 24 h. After filtration, the precipitate was washed with 1 M HCl, water and, finally, ethanol. The product was dried at 80°C for 12 h and stored in a desiccator before characterization. The CNF/PANI composite was treated at 900°C in an oven for 5 min to carbonize the PANI. The heat-treated and untreated CNF/PANI supports in this study are denoted as CNF/HPANI and CNF/PANI, respectively.
Nanocatalyst fabrication and the methanol oxidation
Pt particles for dispersion on the catalyst supports were prepared by a method of in situ reduction of a Pt salt with formic acid. H2PtCl6.H2O (0.2 g) was dissolved in 10 ml distilled water. CNF/HPANI catalyst support was dispersed in the distilled water by sonication for 20 min. Then, an appropriate amount of H2PtCl6.H2O solution was added dropwise to the above support suspension with sonication. After adding formic acid, the suspension was heated in a water bath at 70°C for 3 h with ultrasonication to complete the reduction of Pt. After centrifugation and washing with water and ethanol, the material was dispersed in 0.05 wt.% Nafion solution and sonicated for 20 min to prepare the catalyst ink. An amount (3.5 μL) of this catalyst solution was added to the surface of the glassy carbon (GC) electrode (3 mm in diameter) and dried in air. For comparison, the catalyst with CNF/PANI composite as the support was also prepared under the same experimental conditions. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis indicated that the Pt content in both catalysts was approximately 30 wt.%. Prior to the electrochemical measurement, the catalyst-covered electrode was soaked in the electrolyte solution (0.5 M H2SO4) for 10 min. The electrochemical activity of the catalyst with respect to methanol oxidation was tested in 1 M CH3OH + 0.5 M H2SO4.
Characterization and measurements
X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns were obtained using an X-ray diffractometer (Siemens D5000, Siemens, AG, Munich, Germany) with Ni-filtered CuKα radiation (λ = 1.54 Å). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) (Zeiss ULTRA plus, Carl Zeiss AG, Oberkochen, Germany)) was used to observe the morphology of the samples. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was done with the following instruments: routine imaging, Philips CM12 (120 kV) (Philips, Eindhoven, The Netherlands); high-resolution TEM (HRTEM) and EDS microanalyses, JEOL 2200FS (200 kV) (JEOL Pty. Ltd., Frenchs Forest, New South Wales, Australia ) and electron tomography, JEOL 1400 (120kV) (JEOL Pty. Ltd.). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) attenuated total reflection spectra and UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) spectra were recorded on a Bruker IFS66V FT-IR (Bruker Optics, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) and a Cary 5-UV-Vis spectrometer (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA), respectively. Raman spectroscopy of the samples was recorded with an inVia Renishaw Raman (Renishaw Oceania Pty. Ltd., Melbourne, Victoria, Australia) using a He-Ne laser at 633 nm wavelength. The electrochemical characterizations were performed on a CHI1202A Electrochemical Analyzer (CH Instruments Inc., Austin, TX, USA). All the solutions were prepared in distilled water, and all potentials reported were referenced to a saturated calomel electrode (SCE). A three-electrode electrochemical cell was used for the measurements, where the counter electrode was a Pt foil and the reference electrode was a SCE.
The 2D experimental images for the 3D TEM (electron tomography) were recorded in a bright-field mode on a JEOL 1400 (120 kV) using a high-tilt sample holder. The tilt series were acquired with automatic rectification (corrections of focus and horizontal displacement) by using the SerialEM  softwareon a 1,350 × 1,040 pixel Erlangshen CCD camera (Gatan, Inc., Pleasanton, CA, USA). The tilt range was set from -65° to 65° with a basic increment of 1°, giving a total of 130 images. The tilt series data were treated for image processing and reconstruction using the IMOD software program from Boulder Laboratory for 3D Electron Microscopy of Cells and the University of Colorado .
Results and discussion
The location of the metal catalyst nanoparticles in the catalyst support has a great influence on their catalytic performance. From the SEM images, comparing with the CNF/PANI (Figure 6a), a much greater degree of Pt nanoparticle agglomeration is observed on the CNF/HPANI supports (Figure 6a, b); however, the catalytic performance of this carbonized material is much better than that of the CNF/PANI as shown in Figures 7 and 8. So, it is expected that the location of the Pt nanoparticles in the two supports may be different.
To study the accessibility of the inner tube of the CNF/HPANI-Pt catalyst support, EDS mapping of the distribution of fluorine (F) was done on the catalyst sample deposited on a copper grid in the TEM (JEOL 2200FS). From Figure S4, it can be observed that the inner tube of the catalyst support can be accessed by the Nafion electrolyte since a strong fluorine signal was detected within the inner tube. The Nafion solution was the only source of F amongst the reagents used. As the electrochemical oxidation of methanol always takes place at the interface between the Pt particles and the Nafion ionomer, these particles in the inner tube accessible to the Nafion ionomer electrolyte can still enable the catalytic oxidation of methanol. Moreover, the majority of the HPANI/CNF has an open-ended hollow structure, which means that the internal surface of the hollow tubes is readily accessible to the electrolyte and fuel. Thus, CNF/HPANI-Pt shows higher electrochemical catalytic performance to the oxidation of methanol than the CNF/PANI-Pt catalyst.
A facile process for the synthesis of CNF/PANI core/shell composite was developed. Carbonization of the composite produces core/shell carbon fibers with N-doping at the surface, which has been confirmed by XRD, FTIR, Raman and EDS studies. TEM tomography shows that the Pt nanoparticles were dispersed both on the inner surface and on the outer surface of the hollow N-doped carbon nanofibers. EDS mapping confirmed that the particles on the inner surface of the tube are still accessible by the Nafion ionomer electrolyte. Hence, carbonization provides significant improvements (approximately seven times) in their catalytic performance as catalyst supports for methanol electrochemical oxidation.

Exciting young forward Wilfried Zaha has finalised his move from Crystal Palace to Manchester United.
But as expected, the winger will be loaned back to Championship side Palace until the end of the season.
The England international arrives at Old Trafford for a fee of 15 million pounds, which could rise to 17 million based on additional clauses.
United manager Alex Ferguson is also reportedly hoping to add a defender to his ranks, with the club believed to be lining up a move for St Etienne centre-back Kurt Zouma.
With seven days until the transfer window closes, time is running out for Totteham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas to engineer an early transfer for Lewis Holtby.
The Schalke player is due to arrive at Spurs in the off-season, but have attempted to bring the transfer forward after losing Sandro to a long-term knee injury.
According Schalke general manager Horst Heldt, Spurs’ latest offer for the midfielder is not sufficient for them to grant an early release.
He said: “About Lewis Holtby, there’s nothing new to say. The offer from Tottenham is on the table but it’s not acceptable for us. And we told them it wasn’t acceptable.”
Spurs are also reported to be looking at Mohamed Diame.
The West Ham midfielder has also been linked with moves to Arsenal, Everton and Fulham after just seven months with the Hammers.
But the player issued a statement on the club’s website declaring he is happy in east London.
If Tottenham do move for the Senegalese, it may cast doubt over the futures of Tom Huddlestone and Jake Livermore, with Queens Park Rangers boss – and former Spurs manager – Harry Redknapp said to be monitoring the midfield duo.
West Ham had previously been linked with a move for former Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka.
But the frontman has now been tipped to join Juventus, as he looks to force a split from Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua.
Finally, Fabricio Coloccini’s future at Newcastle continues to be plagued by uncertainty.
The defender wants to return to his native Argentina, but a move to former club San Lorenzo now looks unlikely.
Manager Alan Pardew is hoping to convince the centre-back to stay until at least the end of the season, as the club aim to steer clear of relegation.

Some good and bad news. First, the bad. I stood for seven hours on Sunday at the Australia versus England One Day International cricket match, and it has pretty much set my heel back to being as bad as it ever was. I have decided to enlist the help of a podiatrist to see if they can get to the bottom of the cause. Running doesn’t seem to be the cause, though it hurts to run. The mystery deepens, but I’ll get to the bottom of it eventually.
The good news is that I’ll be riding on the Tour de Bois Mini Tour on Feb 14-16. We’ll be doing a three day cycling tour through the central west of NSW. At worst, it will allow me to improve my fitness without the need to run meaningful distances. We’ll also have a lot of fun – this I know for sure.

NORRISTOWN PA -You may benefit on Election Day by seeing a sample ballot before you see the real ballot, political wisdom goes.
If you’re a local registered voter, your arrival Tuesday (Nov. 6, 2012) at polling places in Lower Pottsgrove and Limerick townships, and Pottstown borough, is likely to be greeted by a flurry of partisan campaign workers standing outside the polls who are anxious to give you stuff. Mostly, it’s just paper. Mostly, it just mentions the names of the candidates they support and hope you’ll vote for. Accept, or ignore, any or all of it as you desire.
But many of those involved in politics agree that having a prepared list of candidates you favor, to take with you into a voting booth, helps avoid confusion and ensures you select office-holders who meet your criteria. That’s how a sample ballot can be valuable.
Montgomery County’s Voter Services Department has provided sample ballots for all of the county’s voting districts; one of them, for Lower Pottsgrove District 4, is reproduced above. The image is too small to be usable, but fear not. Simply click here, or on the image itself, and you’ll be taken to the Voter Services page that hosts sample ballots for voting districts anywhere in the county. It makes them available as Adobe Acrobat (PDF) documents.
Find and print yours there before you go to the polls, and circle your favorite candidates. Voila!: instant list.

Cozy Grove’s spring event is officially here, and there are a lot of activities for you to take part in. You can now take care of orchards, make dyes, and even have a row of ducks follow you around the island. Before you can get started, though, you will need to know where and how to get the event started.
For this update, Ms. Carouse will appear on the beach, and Pandam will be selling a gold storage chest. You will have the ability to earn special items during the festival period, which runs from April 27 to May 25. In addition, a new seasonal pet, ducklings, and a new customization option, dye, will become available.
How to get Ducks in Cozy Grove
Getting ducks is pretty straightforward. You simply need to find a duck nest and place it near your camp or a safe area. We currently know that they can be found in piles of leaves that have duck feathers mixed in.
Once you get your nest and place it, you should have ducklings start showing up the following day. Keep in mind that these ducklings won’t stay around forever and are just part of the seasonal event. Dyes, on the other hand, are a permanent addition to the game.
How to get Dye in Cozy Grove
Dye is a craftable item that you can get from speaking with Francesca DuClaw. In order to make dye, you will need to harvest flower pigment. These can be gotten from the new Orchard plants that are part of the same update. To get better dyes, you will need to work your way up through the crafting menu by continuously harvesting Orchards and converting them into dye.

Last Saturday, multiple Avina physicians donned their white coats and joined the orderly protest march to the Ohio Statehouse downtown. The express goal was to further focus attention on the racial disparities and inequities that black women and other minorities have encountered in obtaining optimal health care in our city.
As the providers for women’s health in central Ohio, we have long recognized the myriad complex barriers to a healthy life that are faced by black women and other minorities. An overwhelming body of evidence demonstrates the increase of maternal morbidity/mortality, infant mortality and incidence of chronic illness and disease.
At Avina Women’s Care, we recognize racism as a public health crisis. It is our hope that substantive, open dialogue and the strategic use of resources will shepherd in a new era of societal and health care changes in the years to come.
When Avina was created by the many physicians who comprise our practices, the phrase “Sharing your journey for a healthy life” was carefully chosen as it is all inclusive. We strive to provide the highest level of care to all patients regardless of skin color, socioeconomic status or sexual orientation. We are driven by this philosophy each and every day.
The challenge for Avina and its response to racism lies not just today, but in the future. C.S. Lewis once wrote:
In the months to come, some of the passion and rhetoric may turn away from systemic racism and on to other issues. It is our ethical responsibility to keep making strides towards equality. We commit to being a part of a long term solution for our community in eliminating health disparities among minority and at-risk populations.
