Art Degree In Web Design Sheffield
If you enjoy getting creative and are technology savvy, you should seek an art degree in web design sheffield. This type of degree may be invaluable and has become in need more than ever before. There may be no shortage of work for a person with an art diploma in web design as most organizations today have internet sites or are in the process of developing websites.
The common man is not innovative or technology savvy enough to generate their own website. For this reason, they often purchase software which will permit them to create a web site for themselves. However, these cookie cutter kind websites are scarcely unique. Many individuals wish to really make a statement with their company or private website but don't know how. Because of this, they will most likely hire a web designer.
A web designer is imaginative enough to learn how to make use of artwork and artwork to truly make a website stand out and technology savvy enough to know how to incorporate different elements into the website. A web developer can easily begin operating from their residence upon graduation. There was no entry level position for a professional web designer. A man can start designing websites even before reaching their art degree in web design.
A career in website design is perfect for the person who dislikes socializing with people and who prefer to work alone. Not everyone likes working with other individuals or with people. Many people would rather work with their own than in a team atmosphere in order to see the results of the work for themselves. Most of us feel uncomfortable interacting with strangers on a regular basis and very few of us want to be subjected to critique from strangers frequently.
A web developer will need to have enough people abilities in order to obtain a job from an individual or business, but will not invest a lot of time interacting with other individuals. They will have to be able to use their imagination and ingenuity to create a really unique website incorporating all of the equipment available to them and for your benefit of their client. A web designer can both charge by the hour or by the job. Most web designers charge a flat fee for designing a web site. Additional fees may be incorporated in to the job if more work is needed in the web designer.
Yet another place where a web developer can find function is by teaching others how to create their own websites. In addition to having their own successful company creating websites for persons and organizations, a person with an art diploma in web design may also add to their income by teaching weekly classes on web design sheffield, such as the essential requirements needed to get started.
You are doing not want to get a four year degree in website design. You may obtain a two yr diploma and begin functioning immediately. An art degree in website design can be a good method to use both your technological and innovative skills to earn a living in a expanding career area.

I see this girl, wearing the pink sweater. I look at the freckles and big eyes and remember growing up in an average small town and in an average family. That seemed like such a long time ago, but even now some of those memories of what she went through make my muscles tense and my stomach nauseous, because I know what happened to that girl just a couple of years after she was pictured in that pink sweater.
You see, that girl? That’s me. And I was bullied. Not just the brunt of teasing, or teenaged mean-girl stuff. What I went through was far more vicious than that. It was being systematically and deliberately targeted over a period of years. I can’t remember what started it all, but I know that once the bullying started, a cycle was set in motion that didn’t stop. I became the joke of the school, the punching bag. And yes, I did try to tell people. Over and over again. But the answer I got was; It’s not really so bad, everyone goes through it. It’s just a phase they’re going through. Just take your lumps. So I will never have the answers about why it happened to me or understand why no one stood up for me when they knew it was going on. That bit hurts the most.
Can I forgive? Perhaps. I don’t want to guilt any of my classmates who I am in contact with now (thanks, Facebook) about what happened because I want to be the bigger person. And besides, what would be the point of dredging up the past? And if I dared to confront the perpetrators after all this time, I’m not even sure whether they would remember what they did, never mind care. But though that girl is now a woman, I can never forget. I remember everything that was done to me. I remember the pall of fear I felt every day going to school, wondering what fresh hell would be inflicted on me that day. I remember feeling that nobody cared about me or thought I mattered and therefore I didn’t even deserve to be on this planet. My inner tape recorder continually played these messages and it took years of effort after the bullying stopped to create positive new ones. But the negative messages can never be fully erased, and they still occasionally pop up even now, when I’m in my 40s. I can never forget what happened because the bullying I experienced during my childhood and teenage years is an indelible part of my narrative of growing up. It will always be there, and perhaps something will always trigger those memories no matter how old I am.
Yes, I am a bullying statistic, but I survived. With the utmost effort of my entire being,I survived. I may not have a Ph.D or a successful career in the worldly definition of success, but I am proud to say that healing has happened. I never thought I’d find a partner and start a family, but I did, and my supportive husband and wonderful son have healed me. I have worked hard to create a safe home and loving family despite feeling the brunt of so much hate in my earlier life. I want to use my experience to encourage others and say to them, you can survive it too.
It’s difficult to have that conversation. There is always that taboo. In the back of my mind, society still doesn’t know what to call those who have experienced bullying, so I am labeled as a victim. As such, there are connotations. For one thing, being handed this label has taken a bit of my power away forever. Some of my innocence and sparkle from the girl in the pink sweater was removed, and it can’t ever be returned. I know that I can’t just bring up the subject of my bullying at dinner parties or in casual conversation. I always fear being judged all over again, that people would say it was down to something I did or said that made my peers turn on me so viciously?or really, I shouldn’t be bitter about it. But that is part of the “victim” label. It says that the bullies won, because my feelings became relegated to being not a big deal.
My son is now a bit older than that girl in the pink sweater, and I am so thankful that he has a strong self-esteem and is still carefree and innocent. Yet I worry about what he will encounter during his teenage years. I have not told him what happened to me. Maybe I will at some point. The best legacy I have to give him, despite my emotional scars, is to raise him with kindness, tolerance, acceptance, and love, and to encourage him to treat others the same. One thing that I am grateful for is that the Internet and cyberbullying did not exist when I was young. God only knows how that would’ve affected me if it had.
I am so glad that the cover is being lifted about bullying and that people are talking about it a little bit more than they once did. After all, bullying thrives in secrecy. It loves hiding in the dark corners, never daring to be spoken about, so the silence gives it the freedom to carry out its ugliness with impunity. Bullying is ultimately about holding power over a person and holding their spirit captive. It is about creating fear. Once that fear is gone, some of its power disappears.
To be honest, I have a lot of mixed feelings about Pink Shirt Day, a recent creation designed to stand up to and ultimately eliminate bullying. I see the sea of pink worn by both staff and students at the elementary school I work at. I wear my own pink shirt as a pledge to do my bit to stand up to bullying. But I am wary that Pink Shirt Day will reduce anti-bullying to something to “celebrate” one day out of the year. I worry that a pink shirt with jaunty slogans on them purchased from a corporate retailer will reduce the seriousness of bullying to just a catchphrase.
What I want to emphasize, in the midst of all the pink shirts, is that bullying is not just a concept. It is a face and a person. Both the one doing the bullying and the one who is the “victim” are real people. The sad thing is, despite the new awareness, bullying is still happening today–perhaps worse than ever now. Bullying still likes to hide and it is terribly crafty so it just gets pushed into other corners and finds dark new environments to thrive in. Social media is a great place for bullying to exist because there are so many methods to be virtually anonymous. And within the maze of cubicles in workplaces, bullying still finds a way to happen.
So how can bullying be stopped, if not by wearing pink shirts? The solution will be found when people stand up whenever they see its ugliness in action. It will be stopped when indifference to injustice ceases to be an option. It will be stopped when people adopt the mindset to willingly and consciously treat people with respect and kindness in the big ways and (most importantly) the small ways–no matter what the environment and circumstances are. It’s ultimately about who each individual decides and chooses to be as a person. Pink Shirt Day is not just for schoolchildren. It is for everyone, and we need to let everyday be our Pink Shirt Day.
Many local and national organizations in Canada are recognizing the seriousness of bullying and are working to take action by implementing programs and strategies to educate citizens on the issues and assist those who have been affected by bullying. Among them are The Red Cross, Canadian Safe Schools, Pink Shirt Day as well as local school districts and chapters of the Canadian YMCA.

Ilya Shkurenev at the IAAF World Championships Beijing 2015 (© Getty Images)
The 2015 world champions have been crowned and the Diamond Race contests settled but athletics fans have one final feast of running, jumping and throwing to enjoy at the 39th edition of the Decastar combined-events meeting in Talence, a suburb of the French city of Bordeaux, on Saturday and Sunday (19-20).
With his personal best of 8538, Russia’s 24-year-old Ilya Shkurenev was 23 points – about four seconds in the 1500m – away from a bronze medal in the Bird’s Nest stadium three weeks ago. The last competition of this year’s IAAF Combined Events Challenge should provide some partial compensation for missing out on a place on the podium in Beijing.
As his two nearest rivals in the challenge standings, Germany’s Michael Schrader and Canada’s Damian Warner, are not competing in Talence, it means that the European indoor champion and two-time European decathlon bronze medallist is tipped to go home with this year’s challenge title and the US €30,000 first place prize that comes with it.
If he does so, he will also become the first Russian male athlete to win the challenge in its 18 editions since it started in 1998. But Shkurenev’s attempt to win Decastar itself should prove trickier.
Willem Coertzen finished two places above him to grab third place in Gotzis back in in May, setting an African record of 8398 points. The South African is looking for redemption after failing to finish the first day at the World Championships and could, in theory, take the challenge title if he improves to 8521 points.
Grenada’s Kurt Felix and Ukraine’s Oleksiy Kasyanov, eighth and ninth in Beijing respectively, are also capable of challenging for the win.
Felix won a silver medal at this year’s Pan American Games; while 2010 European silver medallist Kasyanov was also a runner-up here last year.
Also competing is Belgium’s Hans van Alphen, the Decastar champion in 2011 and 2012, and challenge winner in 2012.
He has struggled for form and fitness since then, with a succession of injuries, but were he to take an unlikely victory this weekend, he would be only the second athlete to win a hat-trick of Decastar titles – a feat managed by France’s Christian Plaziat in 1989.
Although Kevin Mayer has withdrawn through injury, there are still five Frenchman competing at Decastar. Bastien Auziel will fancy his chances of a podium place on home soil after setting a personal best of 8147 in Gotzis in May and placing 13th in Beijing.
Joining him will be Romain Barras, a 35-year-old veteran of the 2004 Olympics and 2010 challenge winner, the oldest man in the field who, at the European Cup Combined Events in July, chalked up his 10th consecutive season above 8000 points.
KJT and Broersen out to bounce back after Beijing
Whatever happens, Talence will crown one heptathlete as a Decastar champion for the first time on Sunday.
A strong women’s field features five of the top-10 finishers from last month’s heptathlon at the World Championships but the woman who is probably the favourite in Talence was not among them.
European indoor champion Katarina Johnson-Thompson had her genuine gold medal prospects dashed when she had three fouls in the long jump but the Briton has indicated that she’ll use Talence to try to secure the Olympic qualifying standard of 6200 points.
“This isn't me trying to finish off the 2015 season,” Johnson-Thompson tweeted earlier this week. “It's the start of my Rio campaign."
She won’t be the only woman looking to bounce back after disappointment in Beijing. World indoor champion Nadine Broersen was beaten to a bronze medal by Latvia’s Laura Ikauniece-Admidina.
Yet if 2014 challenge winner Broersen can score 6401 points or more in Talence, the 25-year-old will pip Ikauniece-Admidina – who is not competing in Talence – to this year’s title.
Broersen’s fellow Dutchwoman Nadine Visser is the best candidate to pounce, should she or Johnson-Thompson falter.
Aged just 20, the world junior bronze medallist is the youngest woman in the field, but her personal best of 6467 to finish seventh in Götzis, and eighth place in Beijing last month, underline her potential. Both will vie to become the first Decastar winners from the Netherlands.
The three other top-10 finishers from the World Championships who are in Talence all did so with personal best scores.
Hungary’s Gyorgyi Zsivoczky-Farkas will be full of confidence after notching 6389 points to finish in sixth – the 30-year-old’s first-ever major championships finish.
Ukraine’s Anastasiya Mokhnyuk scored 6359 to finish seventh, and returns to Talence after finishing second here last year.
In the 14-strong field, French home interest will be represented by a pair of 24-year-old heptathletes who both set PBs this summer: French champion Gaelle le Foll (5848 points) and Sandra Jacmaire (5739).

Vicryl polyglactin 910 is a copolymer of 90% Glycolide and 10% L-lactide. Following absorption polyglactin 910 is metabolized entirely by hydrolysis to glycolic and lactic acids, which are normal metabolites in the body. Vicryl polyglactin 910 synthetic absorbable surgical sutures are available in undyed (clear) and colored (dyed) forms. The undyed form is indicated for use where tissue reactivity is of concern, such as in ophthalmic and neurosurgical procedures, cardiovascular surgery, microsurgery, and pediatric surgery. The dyed form is available in blue, violet, and black for easy visibility during handling and placement.
Vicryl Polyglactin 910 Synthetic Absorbable Suture Is A Copolymer Of 90% Glycolide, And 10% L-Lactide
- Vicryl polyglactin 910 is a copolymer of 90% Glycolide and 10% L-lactide. It is a synthetic absorbable suture made from polyglycolic acid. The glycolide part of the material can be found in other sutures such as Ethibond or Vicryl Suture M5, which are both made from polyglycolic acid but with different modifications to make them more suitable for use in human tissue repair procedures.
- Glycolides have been used for some time as fillers for soft tissues as they have high water content making them ideal for use during surgical procedures that require quick reabsorption after implantation (such as bone grafts). However, because they are not biocompatible like collagen or gelatinous fibers, they do not last long once implanted into the body – typically only 2 months before being absorbed by natural processes inside the body, which causes problems when trying to treat conditions such as arthritis where joints become inflamed due to inflammation caused by chronic pain caused by overuse/misfiring of muscles.
Following Absorption Polyglactin 910 Is Metabolized Entirely by Hydrolysis
Following absorption, polyglactin 910 is metabolized entirely by hydrolysis to glycolic and lactic acids, which are normal metabolites in the body. These two types of acids are released by the body into systemic circulation at a low rate (about 4% of total absorbed). Still, they can be detected in urine samples at higher levels during long-term exposure or high doses of antidiabetic drugs containing sulfonylurea compounds (e.g., chlorpropamide).
Glycolic acid has been reported to have anti-inflammatory effects on human skin cells in vitro; this mechanism may explain its use as an ingredient in topical creams for eczema treatment.
Vicryl Polyglactin 910 Has A Monofilament Structure
Vicryl Polyglactin 910 has a monofilament structure, giving it a smooth surface that reduces friction against tissue, minimizes trauma to the tissue, and allows for easy passage through tissue. The monofilament polyglycolide backbone is combined with the L-lactide crosslinker, which gives Vicryl polyglycolide 910 its unique properties, such as high tensile strength and resistance to wear. This ensures that even after repeated passages through an animal’s body, there will be no damage caused by motion or compression of the suture material itself.
The Absence of Foreign Body Reaction Minimizes Inflammation and Tissue Reaction
Vicryl polyglactin 910 is an absorbable suture material ideal for use in ophthalmic, cardiovascular, and pediatric procedures. The absence of foreign body reaction minimizes inflammation and tissue reaction.
Vicryl has been shown to reduce the risk of infection compared to other types of sutures, including silk or nylon products. It’s also an ideal material for closing wounds since it does not require heat sealing or adhesive sealing agents like other materials might require during surgery.
In addition to being gentle on the patient’s eye, Vicryl Polyglactin 910 also contains more than 5% cross-linked fibrin protein that promotes wound healing by promoting angiogenesis.

This week we come to the end of the story of Hasan, of Leo Africanus. In the year of the Conversa, we learn that the Pope wishes for Hasan to take another wife, Maddalena. He does not particularly want another woman in his life, but Hasan succeeds to the Pope’s will. Something that I found very interesting in this chapter was the character of Julius, the Pope’s cousin. He is the one who introduces the girl, however, he also has a great appreciation for Hasan’s travels. As Hasan recounts, “He[Julius] made me swear that one day I should commit an account of my travels to paper, promising to be my most eager reader”(304). I think it is fascinating that people then and now realized the special quality in Hasan’s experiences and travels. The Pope dies, Hasan leaves Rome and has some more adventurous travels, but the most interesting thing to me was the end of the book, again going back to the idea of family. Sociologically speaking, we see here that the family unit was the most important thing in life. After forty years of exciting travel, all Hasan has the desire to do is to “live long peaceful days in the bosom of my family.”(360). We also see in the end, the emphasis on religion. The last line, “towards the final place where no man is a stranger before the face of the Creator”, solidifies Leo Africanus as above all, a man of faith.
One of the questions I have about this book is the idea that Leo Africanus was truly a convert to Christianity. I believe he converted in order to explore and be able to get into the inner workings of Rome. For example, he refused to shave his beard, which is innately an Islamic tradition. Furthermore, he himself seems to never shake off his Islamic education and is remembered throughout history as an “Islamic scholar”.
The other reading for this week was the article “Global Order and the Historical Structures of Dar Al-Islam” by Bamyeh. This focuses on modernization and colonialism, however, Bamyeh uses the principles of previous Islamic “global structures” to demonstrate how globalized Islamic civilization actually was and to hypothesize if this type of system could be used today in the age of globalization. Bamyeh stresses three principles of Islamic civilization that maintained the vitality of the Muslim world: partial control, free movement, and heteroglossia. Throughout the article, he emphasizes the idea that for these principles to function properly and thrive, the authorities of the system should not have enough power to impose “orthodoxies” on the people. Lastly, he supports the claim that current authoritarian states in the Middle East would not be possible if the Islamic system was not weakened by the effects of Western colonialism.
I found Bamyeh’s reading interesting because I had never read anything about the structure of historical Islamic civilization being used as a model for current global systems. Furthermore, I had never come across the term heteroglossia before and found the explanation fascinating. I also thought the concept of the state being just one aspect of the governing system of society was very logical.

Verizon Wireless needs to reconsider its “Friends and Family” feature–or, even better, it should withdraw its support for Massey’s Energy’s outrageously bogus “Friends of America” rally on Labor Day Weekend.
Do 87 million Verizon Wireless customers, stockholders, and its Public Policy Development and Corporate Responsibility department know that their company is a co-sponsor of next week’s climate-change-denying union-busting pro-mountaintop removal rally organized by Massey Energy in Logan, West Virginia?

(And what about Greenebaum Doll and McDonald, another sponsor, “a top 200 trademark law firm”–look for your most surprising sponsor.)
Does the Environmental Defense Fund, which recognized Verizon’s Green Initiatives–to save energy, support solar and other renewable energy sources, and lower its greenhouse gas emissions–know that Verizon Wireless is sponsoring the featured speaker, Lord Christopher Monckton, a former science adviser to former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who is one of the most infamous global warming-deniers?

This article is based on a speech presented to the Canadian SRI Forum June 20, 2011, and the IAC Conference July 8, 2011.
About two months ago, Joel Makower posted a story titled “Green Marketing Is Over.” Makower believes green marketing as we know it has failed us — the great green consumer revolution simply hasn’t materialized, and green products continue to limp along as niche players.
All this, despite growing evidence that green products are hitting the mark as far as price and quality are concerned. It’s perception that’s killing them.
Nowhere is this more true than in socially responsible investing. Look at index after index, and you see SRI funds that consistently outperform their non-green counterparts. It’s easy to understand why, if you con爱上海
The United States consumes more canned tuna than any other country in the world, and ranks in the top three seafood species eaten here. As a cheap source of protein, families all over the country have relied on canned tuna for decades. Unfortunately, most people don’t realize the damage many of America’s “trusted tuna brands” are doing to our oceans. Some are even failing to ensure ethical issues that plague the industry are addressed, like human rights abuses at sea.
As the seafood industry gathers in Boston this week for its annual expo, the leaders and laggards of the U.S. canned tuna market have become more apparent than ever. On March 9th, Greenpeace released its first-ever canned tuna ranking in the U.S., which examined 14 well-known brands and concluded that most do not have adequate measures in place to address the sustainability or human welfare and labor issues plaguing the industry.
Our ranking disturbingly found that the big three U.S. brands — Bumble Bee, Chicken of the Sea and StarKist — don’t offer a single easily identified sustainable pr上海419同城交友
People love puppies. But all too often — and in so many cruel ways — these animals are betrayed by the very breeders who raise them. These breeding facilities are called puppy mills, where female breeding dogs are kept in close confinement and forced to bear litter after litter without any break for their bodies to recover. Once they can no longer produce puppies, these mothers are often killed. Adult breeding dogs and puppies are typically kept in cages with wire flooring that can injure their paws and legs.
Most pet store puppies come from puppy mills, though families who eventually buy these puppies in pet stores don’t know their purchase feeds the profit-making machine that keeps puppy mills in business.
That’s why we stood proudly with the New York City Council last week as they admirably addressed this issue head-on. By an overwhelming margin, the Council passed groundbreaking legislation — Intro. 55-A, Intro. 136-A and Intro. 146-A — that will put effective and enforceable pressure on commercial breeders to substantially improve the lives of thousands of dogs currently languishing in puppy mills in this country.

Milling Early history - quern stones. Milling is the process by which cereal grains are ground into flour. Traditionally, and in some parts of the world to this day, this would have been accomplished by grinding the grain between two stones, a lower, stationary stone called the quern stone and an upper, mobile stone called the handstone.

Welcome At home I have a WiFi router OvisLink AirLive POE 1Watt 3G 802.11n (Air3G) and to it via WiFi plugged the Airport Express is plugged in the jack to send music and a printer into the USB. After resetting the Airport settings works, but after a few hours, suddenly dies, it can not be detected by the Airport utility and do not see it to be connected to the router and you can not use external speakers. I would add that the Airport is to join an existing WiFi network, so I have set. The range is 90%. This light glows green It seems as if it is somehow blocked, to sleep, off the electricity does not help, the only way out is reset. How all is well, after a hard reset the printer is visible, sends the music from the iTunes properly. The software is the latest. Maybe someone had a similar problem?


After Windows 10 appeared, users of older versions of the system began to notice that their computers automatically downloaded huge files to upgrade to Windows 10 without any questions or notifications. Then they showed vague and confusing messages, which led many users to start upgrading to Windows 10 without realizing it. Microsoft subsequently apologized for having gone too far in its upgrade strategy.
Representatives of the company said they had "learned a lot" after all the complaints had been filed. The next lawsuit filed by the consumer protection group has forced Microsoft Germany to promise that it will never initiate downloading files to upgrade the operating system in the background without informing users.
The statement of the company is welcomed as a "success for consumer rights".

The repercussions of weathering echo throughout the Earth sciences, from ecology to climatology, from geomorphology to geochemistry. This article outlines how weathering interacts with various geoscience disciplines across a huge range of scales, both spatial and temporal. It traces the evolution of scientific thinking about weathering and man’s impact on weathering itself—for better and for worse. Future computational, conceptual and methodological advances are set to cement weathering’s status as a central process in the Earth sciences.

Complaints about so-called municipal ‘red tape’ make the rounds every election cycle, with last year’s civic election no exception.
Political newcomer Mike Parent took notice.
During Tuesday’s city council meeting, the Ward 5 councillor introduced a successful motion for the city to look at its regulations in hopes of finding efficiencies for the business community.
The intent, Parent explained to his colleagues, is for the city to signal it’s “open for business.”
The concept of extra bureaucracy, or “red tape,” was a prevalent complaint throughout last year’s election season, Parent said, adding that while he doesn’t believe it’s unique to Sudbury, it certainly came up a lot.
“This was a very common theme, where very few if any businesses didn’t have something to say about a negative experience surrounding business,” he said, adding these complaints were a combination of legacy and recent.
Parent’s motion calls on the city to partner with the Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce to prepare a report analyzing policies and regulations that could resolve challenges expressed by the local business community, and to “improve service delivery and access to services.”
The Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce was pulled into the process because they’ve been looking at city bureaucracy for some time, said Parent, who served on the organization’s municipal advocacy committee.
Although supportive of the motion, Ward 10 Coun. Fern Cormier cautioned against making too much out of it.
Red tape is a term that’s thrown around a lot, he said — mostly during election seasons.
Complaints about so-called red tape often come without important context, he said, citing a scenario in which a developer complains about the city holding up a project due to “red tape.”
In reality, they’re being held up because they want to build something in a floodplain, and the “red tape” is in fact “a regulation for safety.”
“It’s not all as bad as sometimes we think it is,” Cormier said.
Premier Doug Ford has raised the spectre of municipal red tape a great deal in recent months, Cormier added.
“I spit a little bit of coffee each time he says that, because they’re his regulations,” Cormier said, adding that municipalities are “creatures of the province.”
Regardless of his skepticism, Cormier said Parent’s motion calls for a worthwhile exercise, as there’s always room for improvement.
“What this will help us do is develop a laser focus of those things we have control over as a municipality.”
The city and Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce are expected to produce a report for city council consideration by the end of June.
The full operative clause of Parent’s motion reads:
That the City of Greater Sudbury directs the Chief Administrative Officer to collaborate and engage with the Greater Sudbury Chamber of Commerce to prepare a report to be presented to Council by the end of Q2 2023 outlining:
- A description of the challenges being experienced by their members and the business community as a whole;
- An analysis of potential changes to regulations and policies that could resolve or minimize the impact of those challenges;
- The role of current municipal initiatives already underway to improve service delivery and access to services;
- Processes or initiatives that could be considered to further improve service delivery and access to services, and
- Resource implications, if any, associated with implementing potential changes together with an estimate of the timing associated with the work.

Forms to be signed:
If you are bringing a form to be notarized, do NOT sign the form in advance—for most notarizations you need to sign in front of the Notary. However, the rest of the form should be completely filled out.
Have acceptable ID ready: The person whose signature is to be notarized must have an acceptable form of ID:
All ID'S provided MUST be CURRENT or have been ISSUED within the last five years.
If no such ID is available and cannot be reasonably obtained, the signer may have two credible witnesses present who know you and can attest to who you are.
Each of those two credible witnesses must have acceptable ID.
What is a Notary?
A public servant appointed by the state government to witness the signing of important documents and administer oaths.
Why are documents notarized?
Documents are notarized to deter fraud and ensure they are properly executed. An impartial witness, the notary, identifies signers to screen out impostors and to make sure they have entered into agreements knowingly and willingly.
Does notarization make a document “true” or “legal”?
No. A notarization typically means the signer acknowledged to the notary that he or she signed the document or vouched under oath or affirmation that the contents of the document were true.
Can a Notary give legal advice?
No. A notary is forbidden from preparing legal documents or acting as a legal advisor unless he or she is also a licensed attorney. A notary cannot answer legal questions or provide advice about your particular document.
We are not attorneys and therefore, by law, cannot explain or interpret the contents of any document for you, instruct you on how to complete a document, or direct you on the advisability of signing a particular document. By doing so we would be engaging in the unauthorized practice of law and could face legal penalties that include the possiblity of incarceration. Any important questions about your document should be addressed to the issuing/receiving agency or an attorney.

A Chinese construction company last weekend unveiled its two largest 3D-printed buildings to date. One is a grand-looking, three-story mansion (well, McMansion), and the other is a more utilitarian five-story apartment block. Both are made entirely by 3D printers creating layers of materials that form walls and roofs.
The giant 3D-printed homes are made by Winsun, the same company that cranked out basic one-story homes last year.
This latest project is a proof-of-concept for now, with both the villa and the apartment block (which are undecorated inside) positioned side-by-side in an expo area, according to photos on Chinese sites such Caixin and Netease News.
3D-printed mansion covers an area of 1,100 square meters (11,840 square feet).

One of the five incarcerated teenagers who escaped from the Echo Glen Children's Center near Snoqualmie on Wednesday morning has been apprehended, according to the King County Sheriff's Office.
A Burien boy, now 15, who shot and killed a stranger two years ago was taken into custody in South King County without incident early Thursday.
The Seattle Times typically does not name juveniles accused or convicted of crimes unless they are prosecuted in adult court.
The four other teens who escaped in a gray Ford Fusion motor-pool car remain at large, the Sheriff's Office said on Twitter.
The five teenagers, who were serving sentences for various felonies, attacked several staff members at the state-run juvenile rehabilitation facility Wednesday and fled in a car, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Two of the teens, all males between the ages of 14 and 17, had escaped before, according to sheriff's spokesperson Sgt. Tim Meyer.
Meyer didn't provide details of the escape, but said the staff members who were assaulted around 7:45 a.m. Wednesday suffered minor injuries.


- President Joe Biden will require all federal workers to be vaccinated, a part of a series of new mandates he’ll push in a major speech on the COVID pandemic
- Workers will not be given the option of testing out
- There will be limited exceptions but any federal employee who refuses the shot can be fired, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday
- Federal employees and contractors will have 75 days to get vaccinated
- The American Federation of Government Employees, the largest union of federal workers, said they weren’t consulted on the order
- ‘Workers deserve a voice in their working conditions,’ the group said
- Biden’s remarks come as COVID cases continue to rise due to Delta variant
- He will address six areas where his administration can push for more Americans to get vaccinated
- Speech is scheduled for 5 p.m. ET
President Joe Biden will require all of the roughly 2.1 million federal workers to be vaccinated as part of a series of new mandates he’ll push in a major speech on the COVID pandemic Thursday.
There will be limited exceptions but any federal employee who refuses the shot can be fired, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday.
Federal employees and contractors will have 75 days to get vaccinated.
The executive order will not include an option of being regularly tested to opt out of the vaccine requirement. The orders will apply to workers in the executive branch but not the congressional or judicial.
‘There will be limited exceptions for legally recognized reasons disability or religious objections,’ Psaki said. Anyone who ‘fails to comply, they will go through the standard HR process, which includes counseling and face disciplinary action,’ she added.
She confirmed that action could include termination of employment.
‘Hopefully it won’t come to that,’ she said.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said any federal employee who doesn’t get vaccinated can be fired
‘Obviously the federal workforce is one of the largest in the country and we would like to be a model to what we think other businesses, organizations should do,’ she noted. ‘The expectation is that if you want to work with federal government or be a contractor, you need to be vaccinated unless you are eligible for one of the exemptions.’
The American Federation of Government Employees, the largest union of federal workers, said they weren’t consulted on the order.
‘Workers deserve a voice in their working conditions,’ the group said in a statement. ‘Neither of these positions has changed. We expect to bargain over this change prior to implementation, and we urge everyone who is able to get vaccinated as soon as they can do so.’
And the National Federation of Federal Employees, another government workers union, said they didn’t receive advance notice of the executive order.
Psaki dismissed questions about the unions not being consulted. The Biden White House has bragged about its pro-union stance. At a Labor Day event on Wednesday, Labor Secretary Marty Walsh said President Biden told him: ‘This is labor’s house.’
‘We have a range of consultation with labor unions, and that has been the case for several weeks and months as we have worked to implement additional steps,’ Psaki said.
‘But our objective here is to continue to save lives.’
The president is putting more pressure on states, businesses and schools to get people vaccinated as the Delta variant causes the case rate to continue to rise in the United States.
But Republican-led states including Texas and Florida have pushed back and are in the process of trying to ban the orders being imposed.
‘What we’ve seen work over the past couple months are mandates, requirements, making it so workers in the federal government or others have to get vaccinated. We’ve seen it work and we’ve seen it become more popular,’ Psaki said on MSNBC’s Morning Joe.
‘He’s going to speak directly to vaccinated people and their frustrations and he wants them to hear how we’re going to build on what we’ve done to date to get the virus under control,’ she said.
The Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Veterans Affairs already mandate vaccines for their employees. The military also has issued a vaccine mandate.
President Joe Biden will require all federal workers to be vaccinated, a part of a series of new mandates he’ll push in a major speech on the COVID pandemic
White House press secretary Jen Psaki indicated in interviews on Thursday morning that more mandates were coming
There have now been more than 40 million cases of COVID recorded among Americans, which is nearly one-fifth of the global total of cases.
Biden, in his remarks scheduled for 5 p.m. ET time, will address six areas where his administration can push for more Americans to get vaccinated: that includes new plans to get more people vaccinated, enhancing protection for those who already have had shots, keeping schools open, increasing testing and mask-wearing, protecting the economic recovery and improving healthcare.
The president will also urge business to implement strict vaccine requirements. Major corporations like WalMart, McDonalds and Disney require high-level employees, such as managers or white-collar workers, to get vaccinated. Most hospitals and universities require the vaccine. On Thursday the Los Angeles school district also said they would require it.
President Biden and administration officials have repeatedly emphasized the best way for life to return to normal is for people to get vaccinated.
Biden also plans to call for a global summit, to be held during the U.N. General Assembly later this month, to respond to the pandemic and talk about how to get more vaccine supply to the developing world.
About 27 per cent of the eligible U.S. population age 12 and older have not received any COVID vaccine, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Meanwhile about 75 per cent of Americans have received at least one shot and 53 per cent are fully vaccinated.
In December 2020, after he was elected but before he took office, Biden said he didn’t think COVID vaccines were necessary.
‘I will do everything in my power as president to encourage people to do the right thing and when they do it, demonstrate that it matters,’ he said at the time.
Meanwhile, Dr. Anthony Fauci said this week Americans are getting infected with COVID at 10 times the rate needed to end the pandemic.
‘We’re still in pandemic mode, because we have 160,000 new infections a day,’ Fauci told Axios. ‘That’s not even modestly good control.’
‘In a country of our size, you can’t be hanging around and having 100,000 infections a day,’ he continued. ‘You’ve got to get well below 10,000 before you start feeling comfortable.’
About 75 per cent of Americans have received at least one shot and 53 per cent are fully vaccinated
The vaccination rate among Americans has increased since July, which is when the Delta variant caused case rates to spike, but it remains low in Southern states like Florida and Texas.
Biden will also address the divide between the vaccinated and unvaccinated.
‘He also will acknowledge the fact that the 175 million people who are vaccinated out there, many of them are frustrated. They want to go back to normal. Of course they do. That’s going to require moving more unvaccinated people to a vaccinated status. That’s what he’ll talk about,’ Psaki told CNN on Thursday morning.
In his remarks, Biden also will seek to return his focus to the COVID pandemic, resetting the narrative after the difficult evacuation of Americans from Afghanistan and from Democratic in-fighting on Capitol Hill over his $3.5 trillion budget filled with social programs.
The Biden administration has already taken steps to try and stop Republican-led states from rolling back COVID mandates.
Last month, the Education Department announced a civil rights investigations into five states that banned schools from imposing mask mandates, claiming their stance could discriminate against students with disabilities or health problems.
Education chiefs in Iowa, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Utah have been told they are under investigation.
‘It’s simply unacceptable that state leaders are putting politics over the health and education of the students they took an oath to serve,’ said Education Secretary Miguel Cardona.
‘The department will fight to protect every student’s right to access in-person learning safely.’
NYPD cops are ordered to get vaccinated against Covid, get weekly tests on their own time, or go home without pay
NYPD officers have been told they will be sent home without pay unless they get vaccinated against Covid or provide a weekly negative COVID-19 test which they have taken on their own time.
The new guidelines follow an executive order by Mayor Bill de Blasio about coronavirus protocols for city workers, in response to the surge of the highly contagious Delta variant.
The rules will go into effect on Monday, September 13.
Civilians and paid members of the NYPD who choose to remain unvaccinated will have to get a PCR or a rapid PCR test every seven days on their own time and upload results to an internal contact-tracing system.
Tests have to be done on a weekly basis while officers are off-duty, but the NYPD announced it will soon allow its workforce to get tested at 15 sites across the city at no charge, according to a memo.
At-home antigen tests will not be accepted by the department, under the new police policy.
‘Members of the Service who fail to comply with this directive will not be permitted to work and will be ineligible to receive pay for each day of noncompliance,’ the memo reads.
Unvaccinated NPYD officers have no other choice but to get vaccinated if they don’t want to provide a weekly negative COVID-19 test on their own time or be sent home without pay
The guidelines come after data published late last month revealed that just 47 percent of the department’s workforce — 35,000 uniformed officers and nearly 18,000 civilian members — are fully vaccinated.
That is far lower than the wider New York City population, which has a 61 percent vaccination rate.
The NYPD has one of the worst vaccination rates among police departments in big cities across the country.
Other cities, including Los Angeles and Washington D.C., have more than half of their workforce vaccinated, while Honolulu remains the only city in the U.S. with three-quarters of its police department vaccinated.

Coulthard: Penske vindicated by post-parity change Supercars win
Fabian Coulthard says yesterday's one-two win for DJR Team Penske in Tasmania following recent parity adjustments shows that the Supercars team is 'just doing a better job'.
Ford's new Mustang was hit hardest by mandated centre of gravity changes ahead of the Symmons Plains round, with 28 kilograms worth of ballast shifted to the roofline of the car.
The Holden Commodore only needed to move 6.7 kilograms to the roof, while the Nissan Altima remains unchanged in terms of ballast positioning.
While the changes didn't stop the two Penske Mustangs from running away with Saturday's race, second place finisher Coulthard reckons it's unfair to downplay the impact of the shifted weight.
He says the fact that only one of the four Tickford Mustangs finished in the Top 10 proves that the parity changes have slowed the car, and that it's an in-form DJRTP squad that's making the difference.
"I wouldn't say it hasn't affected us," said Coulthard.
"If you look at where Tickford are, they were right on our bumpers at the [Australian] Grand Prix] and they're a little bit further back here.
"I think you see from both organisations it definitely has affected us, but we're just doing a better job and have got a handle on it."
Tickford boss Tim Edwards, however, doesn't think the ballast change is responsible for the quiet showing from the team's four Mustangs.
He says he always expected the Tickford cars to struggle on the unique Symmons Plains layout, thanks to the first-gear Turn 4 hairpin.
"If you asked us before the start of the 2019 championship what was going to be a tough round for us, or one I was a bit nervous about, I would have said Tasmania," said Edwards.
"We've, historically, had a bit of a tough time here, our car just doesn't seem to get around Turn 4 very well.
"It's quite a unique corner that you don't really find on the rest of the calendar. Do you re-engineer your car for it or do you try and deal with it? And that's what we're trying to do.
"The fact is our car's really good through [Turns] 6 and 7, so it's got strengths and weaknesses, and unfortunately Turn 4 is a big weakness for us. It has been for a few years.
"Like I say, if you'd asked me before the season began, I would have said this would be a tough round for us."

Whenever we visited Gordon Jacob the first thing my children wanted to do was to sit on the big leather pig in his sitting-room. Gordon loved pigs and had an enormous collection: china, wooden, plastic - even a marzipan one that he couldn't bring himself to eat.
He was helping us to build our catalogue of pieces for young wind players, and it was the pigs that reminded him to introduce us to Alan Ridout, one of his ex-students at the Royal College of Music. Alan had written a piece for four bassoons called 'Pigs' as a gift to Gordon to add to his collection. Alan soon became one of our favourite composers.
Pigs eventually became Emerson Edition No.9. With a cover illustration by the legendary Bill Tidy it has remained a favourite since 1973

The internet can be a great place to gain some extra knowledge, but when it comes to researching car maintenance, you’ll probably run into a fair share of maintenance myths that will hinder more than they’ll help. Here are five myths about car maintenance that we’ve debunked.
Myth #1: You Can Ignore Some Warning Lights for a Week or Two
It’s important to always listen to what our cars are telling us, and the best way to do that is to keep an eye on the service lights on your dashboard. There’s a common misconception that, if one of these lights happens to pop up, you can wait a few days until getting the issue sorted. This is completely false – these lights are telling you that urgent attention is needed. Whether your car needs a service, your tire pressure needs to be checked, or your windshield fluid topped up, all of these issues should be seen to as soon as possible. It may be easy to let these warning lights slide for a few days, but proper maintenance keeps both you and your car safe.
Myth #2: You Should Have Your Oil Changed Every 3000 Miles
You might have heard that your car should have an oil change every 3000 miles. While this may be true for some vehicles, you should always check with your car manufacturer or owner’s manual for model-specific recommendations. Your car’s service warning light is the clearest indicator of a needed oil change and maintenance checkup to keep your car in top shape. While you may not need it as often as you think, oil changes are vital for good car maintenance.
Myth #3: You Can Wash Your Car With Any Kind of Soap
If you search around online, you may see that using dish soap, laundry detergent or hand soap to clean your car is a useful ‘hack’ that can save you money. This is going to end up doing much more damage in the long run, and it’s going to cost you a lot more money to fix. Dish soap is specially formulated to break down waxy foods, and this means that you run a high risk of stripping the wax from your car and damaging the paint underneath. Take the time to find a soap that will suit your car’s needs, and make sure to read the label, as a lot of products may not be one-soap-fits-all.
Myth #4: The Fuel Grade You Choose Doesn’t Matter
This is another common misconception: the type of gas you use for your car doesn’t make a difference, and regular, cheaper fuel is good for anyone. While regular gas is good for most cars, it’s recommended that high performance and luxury cars use premium grade fuel. High octane gas in high performance cars will help keep your engine running at optimal levels, and could also help improve your fuel economy. If you’re unsure what fuel you should be using, you should check your owner’s manual for any specific requirements.
Myth #5: Maintenance Done Outside of a Dealership Affects Your Warranty
A lot of uninformed buyers may feel pressured to return to the dealership for their scheduled service, but you can actually have your car serviced by any quality technician without voiding your warranty. The easiest way to do damage to your warranty is to do no maintenance at all. You no longer need to take your car to dealerships for potential service recalls, either, as we’ll check for any upgrades or issues when you book in for a service.
If you’re unsure about how to keep your car running at its best, don’t hesitate to check in with us for a service that’s personalized to your car and your needs. Contact us at Foreign Affairs Motorsport for any maintenance assistance, and leave the dish soap to the dishes!

A true icon in the interior design field and one person that I have always admired for her bold sense of style and a no holds barred way of looking at design. Having worked on many award winning spaces both residential and commercial, one that I love are the Viceroy Hotels. Kelly is known as a distinguished interior designer and tastemaker, has won many different accolades for her work, published several books giving her thoughts on design (Modern Glamour, HUE, Domicilium Decoratus), created product lines for companies such as The Rug Company, Sferra, Bergdorf Goodman and has a sense of style like no other. That is what makes her The Style Icon for this month.
In her interiors I love how she mixes bold colours, patterns and textures. She is not afraid of using materials that otherwise seem dated, but gives them a new lease by using them in ways that you would never have imagined. This is why I LOVE her as a designer.
Her sense of style is just as bold and outrageous. She is not afraid of anything. You can see that in her photos and when she appeared as a judge of the US show called Design Star. Mixing of patterns and textures is just as evident in her fashion sense as it is in her designs. No one else can get away with wearing a turban on national TV!!!

Members of the House of Representatives have been exposed after fresh revelation by a member shows that they pocket N10 to N20 million each month.
Embattled former Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriation, Abdulmumin Jibrin has made a shocking revelation that the members of Nigeria’s House of Representatives each receive at N10m to N20 million monthly. In fact, he revealed further that some pocket as much as N200 to N400 million in a month.
Jibrin made the revelation in a statement he released today.
With the recent revelation by Jubrin who is an insider and currently a member of the house of representatives, Nigerians have been justified after many numerous cries that the house is corrupt which members of the house have repeatedly denied.
The statement reads:
“HON ABDULMUMIN JIBRIN’S 56th INDEPENDENCE MESSAGE:
MORE SHOCKING REVELATIONS ON RUNNING COST/ALLOWANCES OF MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES; MEMBERS RECEIVED MONTHLY AVERAGE BETWEEN ABOUT 10 TO 20 MILLION NAIRA AT VARIOUS TIMES”
“I will celeB.rate the 56th independence of Nigeria by further exposing systemic corruption using running cost/allowances of the House of Representatives. The amount (about 10 million naira) received monthly at present by members is the least since the regime of this fraud called running cost started.
At various time in the past Hon Members have received between about 10 to 20 million naira averagely per month and often pocket the money. Iam found of telling my colleagues in the House that only international footballers like Mikel Obi are known to legally earn such colossal amount monthly.
A dirty means was devised to receive part of the four-year cumulative of such money up front. So a member can take up to 200 to 400 million naira at once. No body is saying money should not be allocated to run activities of members. The problem is that the money is diverted for personal use, period!
You can now understand my disappointment, frustration and anger when I listened to the shameless Chair Ethics, Hon Osai and Media, Hon Namdas and crooks like Hon Hembe, defending the fact that I was suspended because i falsely claim there exists systemic corruption in the House-Fraudsters!
They open their stinking mouths and talk about defending the institution of the House as if they are not the ones that have and are destroying the institution. The running cost allowances fraud is what Speaker Dogara used to blackmail members to get support and ignore all the grievous allegations I raised.
All Speaker Dogara did was to tacitly threaten members at the caucus meetings the night before our resumption by reminding them of the running cost they pocket. That was why when Prof Bolaji Owasanoye and his colleagues at PACC asked me why are my colleagues silent, I answered-most of them (us) are “beneficiaries”.
If Mr President had jumped into the matter at the early stage, trust Nigerians, they would have concluded that the Presidency is using me to fight the House. Such perception and blackmail would have been difficult to deal with. The silence of Mr President on this matter is a blessing in disguise.
Any body who can reach Mr President should inform him that in the face of several threats to my life and that of my family, one of the security agency had sudden withdrawn their officers protecting me. This has made me vulnerable in the face of such persistent threats. I have however taken my destiny in my own hands. It is a struggle iam committed to and no amount of threats or intimidation will deter me.
I will use this period to convert my memoir into a book, teach at the university and enroll for a second PhD with research focus on Economic Diversification.
Fellow Nigerians, thank you very much for all the support, happy 56th independence and may God Almighty bless you and bless Nigeria, Amen!”
It would be recalled that following his allegations of corruption against Speaker Yakubu Dogara, the House on Wednesday suspended him and also sealed off his office, a move many believe is to shut him up and prevent him from having access to indicting information he would have used against the members.

I like to wear sandals to work and at home, but if I want to do something else with them, I prefer to wear the heel and toe boxes.
That’s because sandals help keep the feet dry, while also giving me an extra layer of protection.
That said, you don’t want to overdo it on your sandals.
The best sandals are made of durable materials like leather, nylon, and polyester, and they should also offer good support.
Here are a few tips to get the most out of your sandal collection.
Find your ideal sandal color and style.
The type of materials used to make your sandaled shoes should help you identify what you’re looking for.
The most popular types of leather are: synthetic, suede, or polyester.
Synthetic leather has a natural leather feel and can be used in a variety of styles.
Synthetics are lighter, softer, and more breathable than natural leather.
Synthesizers can be durable and provide excellent protection, but you will have to buy new shoes for every use.
Synthesis can be found in shoes, socks, and athletic apparel, and it’s typically more expensive than the real thing.
Nylon and nylon blends are usually lighter, more durable, and have less impact on the environment than synthetic leather.
Nylons have a higher level of flexibility and can withstand more abuse.
Nuts, seeds, and grains are also used to produce synthetic leathers, which is often more durable.
A blend of different fibers can provide more durability and feel, but it will need to be sanded before use.
Most synthetic leather can be sandblasted or brushed.
This means that sanding a pair of sandals can be a labor-intensive process, but the result is still beautiful.
The color of your shoe can help you decide on a sandal style.
Some brands, like Vibram, offer a color-matching process, so you can choose a shade of suede that matches your look.
Syntheses often have a soft, smooth finish that’s hard to see, but a good pair of suedes will be very durable.
Synthetically made leathers also offer a more natural feel than traditional materials.
For example, a natural suede can be more comfortable and natural-looking.
However, synthetic leather has the advantage of having better traction and less stretch, which means it’s more comfortable to wear and more comfortable for everyday use.
A leather sandal is made with natural materials like synthetic and natural.
Synthese materials are usually stronger and have more grip.
However with synthetic materials, the edges are softer, making the shoe feel more natural and more like a real sandal.
Synthetes have a softer and smoother finish than natural materials.
Syntothese materials, which are the most durable of all, can also be made with other materials, like wool or leather.
If you’re not looking for sandals for everyday wear, you can opt for a leather sandals style that suits your style.
Choose a sandals color that’s comfortable and durable.
If it’s hard and tacky, you won’t find the perfect fit.
If the sandals feel too soft, you’ll have to wear a heavier shoe for every workout.
If they’re too heavy, you may want to wear them with an athletic shoe or tennis shoes.
Choose the right shoe for your lifestyle.
A quality sandal can offer good cushioning, durability, and a sense of style.
For your everyday footwear, look for sandal types that are lightweight and have a solid, durable sole.
For athletic footwear, you should consider a lightweight sandal, as they are more durable and offer a bit more cushioning than a heavy shoe.
For everyday work, a lightweight, durable sandal may be more appropriate.
For the best fit for you, make sure the shoes you buy are a good match.

There are many varieties of U-Joints, some of which are incredibly complex. The easiest category referred to as Cardan U-Joints, happen to be either block-and-pin or bearing-and-cross types.
U-joints can be found with two hub models solid and bored. Sound hubs don’t have a machined hole. Bored hubs possess a hole and are named for the hole condition; round, hex, or square style. Two bored styles that deviate from these common shapes are splined, that have longitudinal grooves in the bore; and keyed, which have keyways to avoid rotation of the U-joint on the matching shaft.
Using the incorrect lube can lead to burned trunnions.
Unless in any other case recommended, use a high quality E.P. (serious pressure) grease to provider most vehicular, professional and auxiliary drive shaft applications.
Mechanically flexible U-Joints accommodate end movement by simply using a telescoping shaft (sq . shafting or splines). U-Joints function by a sliding motion between two flanges that are fork-shaped (a yoke) and having a hole (vision) radially through the attention that is linked by a cross. They allow larger angles than flexible couplings and are used in applications where great misalignment has to be accommodated (1 to 30 degrees).
Always make sure new, fresh grease is evident for all four U-joint seals.
Can be caused by operating angles which are too big.
Can be the effect of a bent or sprung yoke.
Overloading a drive shaft could cause yoke ears to bend. Bearings will not roll in the bearing cap if the yoke ears aren’t aligned. If the bearings stop rolling, they stay stationary and will “beat themselves” in to the area of the cross.
A “frozen” slip assembly won’t allow the travel shaft to lengthen or shorten. Every time the drive shaft tries to U Joint china shorten, the strain will be transmitted in to the bearings and they’ll indicate the cross trunnion. Unlike brinnell marks due to torque, brinnell marks that will be caused by a frozen slide are usually evident on the front and back areas of the cross trunnion.
Improper torque in U-bolt nuts could cause brinelling.
Most makers publish the recommended torque for a U-bolt nut.
Improper lube procedures, where recommended purging isn’t accomplished, can cause one or more bearings to be starved for grease.


I am definitely not against research on childhood cancers. But when a Republican is presenting this bill it makes me skeptical 🤨. It just appears government is stepping out of bounds with this. Different childhood cancer agencies are already working together and if they are not they should not receive funding. I am sorry but why hasn’t this bill come up before with the other party?

- Sediment source apportionment and system connectivity
- Hillslope soil erosion and deposition
- Catchment sediment budgets
- Siltation rates
Full surface water quality assessments in line with Water Framework Directive & Common Standards Monitoring guidance
CaRAR has extensive experience in delivering detailed water quality assessment of surface waters throughout the UK, working alongside statutory bodies, environmental charities and land user groups. Our team will design and implement detailed catchment sampling strategies, supported by UKAS accredited sample analysis, and provide tailored, high quality reporting of results.
High temporal resolution monitoring of water quality parameters
Deployment of instrumentation for continuous monitoring of river flow and key water quality parameters (e.g. turbidity; conductivity; dissolved oxygen; temperature, pH; ammonium). Data can be used to assess contaminant-flow relationships and, if combined with automatic water sampling, determine suspended sediment-contaminant loads and hysteresis.
Sediment source apportionment
Sediment source fingerprinting approaches are used to determine key land cover and tributary sources within river systems, supporting targeted management practice. CaRAR undertakes source and receptor sampling and provides high quality analyses of chemical composition in our IS09001:2015 certified radioisotope facility, prior to determining key sources using a novel Bayesian mixing model approach.
Sediment residence time investigation
As well as determining key sources of fine sediment in river channels, estimations of sediment residence time are important for assessment of channel condition and impact upon biota. CaRAR has extensive knowledge of radioisotope tracing techniques to provide robust estimates of sediment residence time in river systems.
Assessing catchment contaminant spatial distributions
Combining sediment risk mapping and channel bed sediment sampling to determine nutrient (phosphorus) and metal concentrations in stored material. Sampling is supported by UKAS accredited wavelength-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis and in situ determination of elemental concentrations using field-portable XRF instrumentation.
Assessing phosphorus mobility in stored sediment
Exploring the role of sediment storage zones as nutrient sources through the use of diffusive gradient in thin films (DGT) technology to determine labile, potentially bioavailable phosphorus fractions in stored channel sediments.
Siltation rates using sediment geochronology tools
CaRAR has a strong track record in the use of radionuclide dating techniques to determine sediment accumulation rates in lakes, reservoirs, channel floodplains and tidal wetlands, underpinned by analytical expertise in the ISO9001:2015-certified Consolidated Radioisotope Facility (CoRiF).
Catchment sediment budget investigation
The CaRAR team provides detailed catchment sediment budgets by combining assessments of hillslope soil and sediment redistribution, sediment source apportionment, sediment storage and suspended sediment flux.

.Client: Natural England. CaRAR undertook an extensive monitoring programme across a water year to assess phosphorus dynamics in a highly complex ditch system, liaising closely with Natural England, the Environment Agency, the RSPB and Internal Drainage Board. The CaRAR report informed future management decisions and underpinned further nutrient flux research at the site.
Assessing the input of road-derived contaminants to the River Teign
Client: Westcountry Rivers Trust. CaRAR implemented a monitoring campaign using both routine and storm water sampling, alongside continuous monitoring, to determine contaminant pathways and assess surface water quality in line with Water Framework Directive Environmental Quality Standards.
Fine sediment and phosphorus contamination in southwest rivers (Taw and Teign)
Client: Westcountry Rivers Trust. Sampling was undertaken along channel transects to quantify fine sediment storage and total phosphorus concentrations, identifying sediment-contaminant hotspots. The information was used to inform targeted management practice relating to potential point and diffuse sources of nutrients to the river systems.
Sources and quality of fine sediment in degraded freshwater pearl mussel habitats (Clun and Mease)
Client: Natural England with APEM Ltd. CaRAR undertook an extensive monitoring project across a series of linked contracts to assess key sediment sources using novel fingerprinting approaches, and to determine sediment-contaminant concentrations throughout the catchment.
