You know it’s time to hire help when you’re working around the clock to keep your business moving.
Pain points like this tend to turn new entrepreneurs into employers pretty quickly. After all, the business can only scale if you can effectively delegate work to the right people. Still, we don’t recommend rushing into hiring before you have a solid understanding of the work and costs you will surely incur along the way.
Before you start posting job ads, make sure you walk through these eight steps to make sure you’re ready, willing and able.
1. Understand What It Will Cost
You need to consider the payroll tax and unemployment tax insurance in your state when determining your hiring budget. You have to add in the required taxes with the potential salary for your new employee. Total cost will also include benefits such as vacation, as well as equipment and other ongoing expenses like software or phones. Create a spreadsheet on all the costs so that you will be able to determine how much you can afford to pay your employee.
It’s worth considering hiring a contractor as well. Their hourly or project rates may be higher, but you won’t have to worry about payroll tax, unemployment insurance and other overhead.
2. Calculate the ROI
Determine the ROI needed to cover your employee. The idea, of course, is that employees generate revenue either directly (a salesperson for example) or indirectly (like a project manager who helps you get work done on time).
They may also simply take work off of your plate so that you can generate more revenue. Hiring an administrative assistant, for example, might mean that you can spend more time finding new customers.
Set a forecasted budget and measure against results. If the new hire isn’t working out, consider the advice of Likeable Media CEO Carrie Kerpen who recommends that businesses “hire slow, fire fast.” Let the numbers tell you if it’s not working and cut your losses before your company suffers.
3. Write a Great Job Description
Once you have determined your budget, you can determine the highest priority needs for your company.
- Make a list of all the things that need to be done
- Calculate how many hours these jobs are taking you to do right now
- Determine which tasks can be delegated to an employee
- Decide how much time you are able to invest in training
Use this as a resource to create a job description. The more accurate the listing, the better your potential hires will understand their responsibilities and your expectations.
4. Decide If You Need an Employee or a Contractor
Small business can benefit from starting with contractors. It helps them get work done quickly, without investing time in interviewing, training new hires, creating benefits packages and much more.
Contractors are best when the work is short-term or outside of your area of expertise. A coffee shop, for example, may need a logo and website, but not a full-time designer. This would be the perfect job to outsource to a professional. The hourly rate will be much higher than an in-house designer, but the employer doesn’t need to worry about benefits or taxes. When the work is done, the engagement is over.
If, on the other hand, your business has a need for ongoing work, a full-time hire makes more sense. A creative agency, for example, likely won’t want to outsource their sales to a freelancer. It makes sense to invest time in finding and training a great employee.
5. Understand Liabilities and Compliance
As an employer, you will need to set up accounts to withhold payroll taxes for federal, state and local taxes from your employees’ pay, then pay your company portion. You will also need to set up accounts with your unemployment tax agencies that you will pay into. In addition you will need to contact your insurance agent to see if you are required to pay workers compensation insurance for your employees and make sure you are in compliance with your state’s laws.
6. Consider Offering Perks
Will you provide a computer, cell phone, office supplies, travel, dues and subscriptions? What about benefits like health insurance, retirement plans, vacation, holiday and sick pay?
You will need to calculate these into your budget. In addition you may consider offering incentives like profit sharing to attract and keep high quality workers. Perks and benefits can be expensive, but come with an ROI of their own—hiring new employees is typically more expensive than keeping existing ones.
7. Document Everything
Even if you are only hiring one person, it’s a good idea to create an employee handbook and an employment contract. This is a good way to set clearly defined expectations for everyone involved.
This should include all of your company policies, employee hours, benefits, etc. This will help you avoid a headache if issues come up after a new hire has been brought onboard. The same is true for contractors. You want to make sure there is an open dialogue about expectations and feedback.
8. Set Up a Payroll System
Paying employees on time is essential and you also want to ensure your payroll taxes are calculated properly. In order to track this smoothly, it’s a good idea to set up a payroll subscription service that is integrated right into your accounting software.
QuickBooks offers a number of products and services to make payroll easy. From direct deposit to paying payroll taxes and reconciling with your books, QuickBooks is a great solution for businesses of any size.

Little by little the short days of winter are getting slightly longer. Our winter here has been fairly mild, the warmth of the sun beating on my back as I write this says enough: who sits outside in Northern Nevada in January writing? This year, I suppose I do. Much different from the snow and flooding of last January. This time last year I was trudging through the snow and ice in the backyard to get to the greenhouse. The whole town seems to be awake: running, bike riding, and working on their cars.
Here at Sierra Flower Farm, we have been taking advantage of the weather. After a couple months of everyone in the family being ill, it is nice to be welcomed by the sunshine and back in the garden. We’ve been working on garden cleanup, starting seeds and even planting! I know the ski resorts in the area are desperate for snow, but honestly, I’m enjoying this spring like winter at the moment. Especially after such a frigid fall (yup, still bitter about that kill frost last mid-September!).
This weather definitely has given me spring fever. I’ve bumped up starting some seeds earlier than normal and can't believe that the soil is workable! With being sick, anemones and ranunculus were delayed, so I'm finally getting the rest of those in the ground this week. Yay for second chances!
Another symptom of spring fever, seed catalogs keep flooding my mailbox and I’m pretty sure if I order one more dahlia tuber my husband is going to have me committed (“Hi, I’m Jessica and I’m addicted to ordering seeds…). What can I say? I have a hard time saying “no” to a pretty flower, sadly the size of my yard is tiny and not quite accommodating to my garden dreams but that's nothing new.
Most of you are probably skimming past the pages of flowers and going straight to all the glorious tomatoes, squash, and kale. I’m here to tell you: go back to the pages with the flowers. If you haven’t incorporated flowers into your vegetable garden, this is the year to change that! Tomatoes and flowers play nice; they truly are team-players! This month I’m diving into my top five annual flowers to grow alongside your array of vegetables. How in the world did I decide on five? It was tough. To make the decision process easier I set the following criteria:
1) Must make a good cut flower
2) Benefits/companion in the garden
First and foremost, Sierra Flower Farm is all about specialty cut flowers, therefore, the flowers must make good cut flowers. The flowers need to be workhorses in the garden for you: they need to aid in the production of your vegetables, add nutrients to your soil and attract beneficial insects. Also, it’s a vegetable garden! It needs to be edible, whether it’s to jazz up a salad or make a delicious tea. Lastly, they must be easy to grow from seed and require minimal pampering in the garden (because, who has time to fret over another plant in the garden?!). Without further ado, here are my top five annual companion flowers to interplant with your vegetables!
#1 Calendula (aka “Pot Marigold”)
Calendula as a cut flower:
Calendula is a workhorse! It is incredibly cold hardy (which is ahhh-mazing for us high desert gardeners!) and has an awesome vase life. It may not be a fancy pants peony but it definitely adds character and rounds out floral designs all season long with it’s cheery orange to bronzy peaches. Plus, it is incredibly easy to grow. Their seeds are large enough that a child could easily handle and help plant. There is no need to start calendula indoors, simply direct sow in the garden in fall or early spring when the soil is thawed. If you allow the flower heads to go to seed, they will continue to self-sow!
Calendula in the garden:
Calendula is an agreeable sort and friend to all! If the garden was high school, calendula would be the nice popular kid that plays football with ease and is class president. Calendula has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. It helps to deter parasitic nematodes in the soil, tomato hornworms, aphids, bean beetle, mosquitos and cabbage worms with it’s pungent smell. Plus, they attract beneficial insects such as bees and hoverflies.
Calendula as an edible:
Calendula is also a traditional medicine used for its antimicrobial, antiviral and antibacterial properties. Its petals can be used as a substitute for saffron, it is evenly known as “poor man’s saffron.” The petals can be sprinkled to jazz up a salad or can be used as a tea.
Plant calendula with: members of the nightshade family (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, peppers), asparagus, brassicas, onions, and cucumbers. Have some room in your herb patch? Calendula will enhance the flavor of basil and mint!

Sunflower as cut flowers:
These summer gems make incredible cut flowers (as much of us know) and there are so many different shapes and colors to choose from!
On our humble flower farm, we lean more towards sunflower varieties that are pollen-less. Pollen-less is ideal for cut flowers because they are less messy and tend to have a more optimal vase life but that doesn’t make them the best choice for companion planting. In the garden, especially if you are looking to provide pollen for the bees, plant varieties that have not had the pollen bred out of them. You can plant dwarf varieties, towering varieties, or anything in between. There are benefits to all.
Be sure to harvest the sunflower before they are pollinated for the longest vase life. Harvest when the first petals are just beginning to lift. Harvest in the coolest parts of the day. Use a splash of bleach in the vase water for sunflowers, they have a hairy stem and can make the water murky. They do not like commercial flower food as much as the homemade recipe which you can find here.
Sunflowers in the garden:
The tall varieties of sunflowers, such as “mammoth” or “kong” make amazing trellises for pole beans or trailing nasturtiums. Planted in a group, they can also be a natural windbreak for your vegetable garden or simply hide an unsightly part of your yard. Also, lettuce (or other shade loving greens) can be inter-planted with sunflowers. The lettuce benefits from the shade, this makes for a happy friendship. The dwarf varieties, such as “teddy,” are great to interplant in the garden and won’t tower over your tomatoes (plus they are adorable and perfect in a kid garden!). When planting taller varieties of sunflowers, be aware of the planting location to keep them from shading your sun-loving vegetables, especially in the morning. I say, if they shade the tomatoes some during the heat of the day, that’s a win! Most vegetables benefit from shade in the afternoon, even the sun lovers but be sure they get that nice morning sun.
The sunflower’s roots benefit the soil. They cleanse the soil by pulling heavy metals out. Sunflowers are also used as a trap crop. They attract aphids and whiteflies. This makes them a nice companion plant to corn, since the aphids are supposed to prefer the sunflower and then leave the corn alone. Beware, blister beetles adore sunflowers. Be sure to crop rotate sunflowers each year and if you see one of those buggers don’t squish them with bare skin! They are called blister beetles for a reason…
Sunflowers as an edible:
The flower heads of sunflowers can be steamed and eaten similar to an artichoke, but with a nuttier flavor. I love sunflower seeds, my husband even more so. We grew our first sunflowers for the seed, which was the “mammoth” variety and it definitely lived up to it’s name! You will need to protect the flower heads with netting from the hungry birds. Or, you can use the seed heads as a lure to attract the birds that will love you and then reward you by eating other garden pests.
The great thing about sunflowers, like the calendula, they are easy to grow! Once the soil can be worked, simply direct sow into the garden. As a seedling, the sunflowers are pretty cold hardy. They don’t require much moisture and can withstand some pretty decent freezes while young. If you get eager to plant in the garden, this is your friend!
You can dive into more about sunflowers by reading my post where they were honored as "Flower of the Month" last summer here.
Marigolds as a cut flower:
It’s pretty common knowledge that marigolds and tomatoes like to get cozy in the garden bed. I actually prefer to plant calendula with my tomatoes but marigolds do have their place in the garden. There are three different types of marigolds: French, African and Mexican. African marigolds are the ones we grow for cut flowers, they have great stem length, vase life, are heavy producers, and they are so so FLUFFY! Unfortunately, they are not the best out of the marigolds to grow as a companion flower. They’re not bad, simply not as potent as the other two. French and Mexican varieties can still be used as cut flowers, they simply have shorter stems. They could still be cute in a little teacup for a quaint outdoor picnic! When speaking of marigolds, I’m going to be referring to the French and Mexican varieties.
Marigolds in the garden:
Marigolds roots act as a trap for parasitic nematodes, and in warmer climates are even used as a cover crop to rid soil of these trouble-makers. Marigolds pungent odor and natural occurring pyrethrin deter mosquitos and aphids. Supposedly, Mexican marigolds even repel our fluffy foes: bunnies. Aside from being a pest deterrent, marigolds actually enhance the growth of many of our favorite vegetables such as: brassicas, squash, nightshades, and basil.
Marigold as an edible:
Throw some marigold petals in your summer salad (or roasted asparagus!) to add a little zest and glam your meal up a bit. You can also add it to stews to attain a rich golden color.
Marigolds are fairly quick growers and can be directly sown in the garden. They are cold sensitive, so a light frost will turn the foliage purple and may set the bloom time back. An actual frost will kiss them with a blackened death. In our area, I do prefer to start them in the greenhouse a few weeks before our last frost date. They germinate quickly and grow fast, so they don’t need a huge amount of time as a head start.
ˆNasturtium as a cut flower:
I love, love, love, nasturtiums! They are easy to grow and thrive even more in terrible soil with minimal water, what more can you ask for? Flowers that tend to themselves are few and far between and are any gardener’s dream! Who wouldn't want to be rewarded with minimal effort? Aside from the numerous colors, there are also trailing or dwarf varieties to choose from. I’m personally a fan of trailing, especially for arrangements. I love using the greenery along with the flowers in design work, it adds such whimsy! I have even used them as fillers for bouquets, which is always a surprise and a delight to my customers. They have an incredible vase life and are just not a typical flower seen as a cut flower.
Harvest the flowers in the cool of the day just before the flower is about to open. If harvesting foliage for cut flowers, then harvest when leaves feel leathery. They have a vase life of a week or more and do benefit from floral preservative.
Nasturtium in the garden:
I initially grew them as a trap crop for squash bugs but the correct classification is more of an “indicator plant.” The idea behind an indicator plant is that it gives a little snapshot (an indication) of what’s going on in the garden. Meaning, what are the aphids a brewing? Are there tomato hornworms? Nasturtiums may not be a trap crop for the specific pests that I was hoping for but it did work in tricking aphids. Planting more nasturtium plants throughout the garden may even help to deter the creepers of the garden. Nasturtium’s pungent odor is said to deter squash bugs and other beetles along with whiteflies. Plus, nasturtiums actually attract the hoverfly, which should feast on some of the pesky buggers.
Nasturtium as an edible flower:
Not only are the flowers gorgeous but they are edible, along with the foliage and even the seeds! The flowers definitely can elevate your salad or other vegetables. They can be stuffed with some yummy herb goat cheese- talk about a fancy appetizer! The foliage is good added to soups or salads. Their seeds can even be pickled and used as a substitute for capers! This plant is definitely a giver.
Nasturtium seeds look like little brains. They are big (I mean substitute for capers big) and are the perfect seed for small eager hands to help in the garden. They do best direct sown. These guys are pretty cold sensitive so they do best direct sown into the garden after all danger of frost has passed. Around here, we have some years where the summer season is cut short, therefore I prefer to start them in the greenhouse a few weeks before the last frost. They germinate and grow quickly. They also prefer not to have their “feet” messed with too much, so they don’t need incredible amount of a head start and it’s best to not let them get root-bound. If growing the trailing variety, be sure to provide a strong trellis for them to clamber up.
Chamomile as a cut flower:
Chamomile was another gateway flower for me. I initially added it to the garden for its medicinal qualities (Peter Rabbit’s mom did have him sip on chamomile tea to combat his tummy ache!). I specifically prefer German chamomile over the Roman variety. At first, it had more potent medicinal qualities but the German variety also makes for a great cut flower. These guys readily self sow, but don’t be alarmed! It is not invasive and won’t choke out other plants like mint does. In the middle of winter, I love seeing the small patches of its green fern-like foliage when everything else is brown and dormant. Chamomile is one of the first flowers to great me in the spring and makes for a wonderful filler flower. Avoid them going sad and limp by harvesting in the cool of the day.
Chamomile in the garden:
With being one of the first flowers to bloom in spring, chamomile also provides one of the first food sources for the awakening hungry bees. Not only does chamomile attract the beloved bees but it also attracts other beneficial insects such as predatory wasps, hoverflies and ladybugs. Chamomile also deters the blood sucking mosquitos.
Chamomile has antibacterial and antifungal properties that actually helps combat ailments that may be lurking such as blight, powdery mildew, fungi and molds. If that’s not enough, chamomile is so incredible that it even adds some important nutrients to the soil such as magnesium and calcium.
Chamomile as an edible:
I would buy chamomile tea from the store, because it was "healthy." When I had a sore throat chamomile, mint, with a dab of honey was my go-to. Sounds good, right? I never thought it was very tasty, until I made tea from my homegrown chamomile. I always read that chamomile tea should taste like honey with added floral notes, well, the homegrown lived up to that! I love garden fresh chamomile tea and it is equally good dried. Be sure to save plenty, your friends and family will be lining up for some! It’s also fun to make ice cubes with chamomile flowers in them. Just be sure to only pluck off the flower heads, the stem and leaves of chamomile will result in a bitter taste. Don't be shy to harvest, the more you pluck the plant will reward you with numerous more blooms!
Growing chamomile is as easy-peasy and throwing the seeds out in the garden in fall or early spring. They germinate fast, easy and don’t require any pampering (other than keeping the seeds slightly moist). I would choose an area in the garden where you can let them self-sow year after year. I have volunteer chamomile throughout the garden, and am thankful! They even grow in the compacted pathways of the garden, with minimal water and much neglect and thrive.
To keep the blooms coming all season long, either harvest the flowers in the cool of the day or deadhead the blooms regularly.
I hope you are inspired to plant some annual flowers in your vegetable garden this year!

Hello, I am using scattermapbox from mapbox for a dashboard that tracks realtime bus gps from an api.
I have it set to update at a relatively slow interval of 5 seconds.
The only problem is that every time it updates the whole map reloads and not just the data points. Now I don’t mean that the viewing position changes and reverts back to the default I got that to stay, but rather every time it reloads the whole map goes grey with the loading icon then loads back with the new data points on it.
Is there any way to make this smoother? ie maybe just reload the data points without reloading the actual map underneath?
or am I not using the best tools for this project and is there another that would be better?
dcc.Graph. This property is sort of in “beta” and so it won’t work in all use cases, namely:
- it won’t work if you are adding or removing traces (i.e. elements inside
data). However, if you only have
N traces (
N is constant within your callbacks, you should be good.
- if the range of your data changes, the graph won’t reset to the new range. You’ll need to set that automatically.
These issues are reported and discussed in https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/issues/1849.
animate=True in dcc.Graph got it working for me.
Thank you so much!
Although it does animate smoothly, adding the Animate=True has broken my ability to keep the camera’s location after reload. It only stops working if I include Animate=True. And the range of my data stays constant.
If you change the camera’s location/zoom before the first callback it will stay at that location and zoom and reload to that after all future callbacks no matter what I’ve tried.
I know you said that it is still in beta so it may not work, which is fine, I’m just wondering if this is common or possible to be worked around?


Danvers Public Schools to undergo external audit
Outside sources will investigate concerning student communications, review district’s culture
DANVERS — Following allegations by community members that Danvers High students had been sharing concerning communications on social media and via text message, school officials announced an external audit will be conducted.
“Since our last meeting, there have been numerous social media posts claiming the culture of Danvers High School is not the inclusive environment that we believe and expect it to be,” David Thomson, chairman of the Danvers School Committee, said at the board’s most recent meeting. “There have been claims of racist, homophobia and other unacceptable language and behavior that I, and I other members of the committee, feel need to be explored.”
The school district’s attorney, in looking at behaviors that may have violated policies, even those that do not rise to the definition of legal discrimination and harassment, has recommended a thorough inventory to determine what factors, if any, are creating the perception that the Danvers learning environment is not welcoming and inclusive.
“The issue is being addressed in two different ways, each of which are taking place simultaneously,” Thomson explained. “The first is the hiring of a consultant investigator by the district’s legal counsel to look into the concerns raised in social media posts. The second is the hiring of an organization that can come in and review the culture of Danvers High School and the overall Danvers Public School system to provide ways in which we can improve.
No matter the outcome of the investigation into the social media post allegations, Thomson said culture within the schools can always be improved.
“There’s no need to wait to get assistance on this issue,” he said. “We can do both simultaneously.”
School Committee member Jeffrey Kay said he is 100% in support of the external audit.
“It is incumbent upon us to take this extremely seriously,” School Committee member Jeffrey Kay said. “It is our responsibility to protect students, teachers, staff, everyone in the community who does not have a voice and feels like they cannot speak.”
Committee member Arthur Skarmeas agreed, explaining that, because some of the allegations have the potential to be credible, something needs to be done.
“There are things that people have said that we have to be concerned about,” he said. “If one person is not treated appropriately in our school system, we need to deal with it. We can’t be perfect, we’re not going to get every single case, but we need to try to strive to do that.”
In addition to the audit, Superintendent Lisa Dana introduced plans for the next steps that will be taken to begin addressing the concerns.
“We do acknowledge that there have been social media posts, there has been texting and actions of students that are contrary to our mission to provide an inclusive school environment free from discrimination,” she said. “It’s going to take our entire community working together to continue moving forward.”

Redmi 10 is the latest addition to the budget devices segment by Xiaomi Nepal. Powered by a midrange Snapdragon 680 chipset, the phone comes with a mammoth 6000mAh cell and dual camera setup. In this Redmi 10 Review article, we are going to know its usage, camera, and battery performance.
Redmi 10 Review
Redmi 10 Design and Display Review
The midrange device is showcasing a typical design with a teardrop notch, plastic frame, and body design. The looks don’t seem that appealing yet it can be understood as a budget device. Carrying a big battery, the phone does feel a bit bulky. There is a single firing speaker, a Type-C port, and a mic on the bottom side. While the headphone jack rests on the upper side. Coming at the rear side, the camera bump is minimal.
The device boasts a 6.7-inch IPS LCD display panel with HD+ resolution alongside Gorilla Glass 3 protection. There is no 90Hz refresh rate here and it stays static at 60Hz. The HD+ resolution doesn’t look that bad. Yeah, it could have been a Full HD+ one though. Yet, the viewing angles are good. On YouTube, I can set the video quality to 1080p 60fps max. Media consumption is just average with HD+ LCD and single firing speaker. The audio is loud though. I missed the 90Hz refresh rate here as it has become common in the midrange arena.
How is the Performance?
It is the Snapdragon 680 4G powering the core here. We have seen this silicon on Redmi Note 11 too. Qualcomm has not infused much of an improvement here except for the newer 6nm architecture. Switching from one app to another felt fairly fast with MIUI 13. The phone is good for social media usage. It is still based on Android 11 while the Android 13 preview is coming soon. Nevertheless, it is still MIUI 13, so the features are not much different.
I also did a bit of gaming on this phone and as expected, it is made for casual games. PUBG runs on maximum at 30fps with stutters here and there. The scenario was the same on CODM too. Besides, those heavy games, other casual titles run completely okay on this phone. For day-to-day usage, the phone can perform well as per its price. But yeah, you shouldn’t expect more though. Also, have a look at the best gaming phones in Nepal.
The phone packs in a dual-camera setup; 50MP primary and a 2MP macro unit. There is no ultrawide shooter as brands have begun opting it out from budget phones in the latest trend. As a mid-range phone, the camera performs just average. The primary sensor captures average shots even during the daytime. The pictures look a bit faded and the details are not that great. Given it’s a budget phone, the camera could have been better. Turning on the HDR does help better by adding in colors.
For videos, it can shoot a max of up to 1080p 30fps. There are not many details to see and the footage lacks stabilization. As a result, it comes shaky. Coming at the front camera, the picture quality is more like the same. You get average selfies and in low light, the quality degrades further.
Battery Life and Charging
The device boasts a mammoth 6000mAh battery which supports up to 18W fast charging. Well, Xiaomi has only provided a 10W adapter in the box. It takes a hefty amount of time for full charging, to be exact 3 hours & 17 minutes to go from 0 to 100%. The company had provided a 22.5W charger with Redmi 9 Power just a year ago. We should have gotten an 18W adapter here. Nonetheless, the battery life is great. If you are a light user and don’t perform any intensive tasks, the phone is good to go for more than 2 days. You will get more than 8 hours of SOT easily. So for battery life, the phone can suffice moderate users for more than a day.
Redmi 10 caters to the needs of those wanting a phone with superb battery life. On the other aspects, the phone doesn’t have a fast refresh rate screen and the HD+ resolution for a 6.6-inch screen is not that amusing at all. A stereo speaker setup would have been much better, given the past Redmi phones of the same caliber had that feature. Also, the absence of an ultrawide camera and average camera performance of the primary sensor makes it a bummer. Though the device is budget-oriented, it could have been better, if not the best. Still, the phone is good for multimedia usage and the mono speaker on the bottom is loud too. The physical fingerprint reader on the back performs average. The best part is its amazing battery life that can last you for more than a day on moderate usage. Rest apart, the phone performs average with Snapdragon 680 processor.
If you are seeking a better display (AMOLED), camera, and stereo speaker, you can go for the Redmi Note 11 by adding in more bucks. If your budget is tight and you are okay with an average display, camera, and amazing battery life, you can opt for Redmi 10.

|Title:||X-ray photoelectron diffraction studies of structural and magnetic disordering transitions near surfaces|
|Authors:||Tran, Thuy T.|
|Abstract:||This thesis deals with order/disorder transitions near solid surfaces as studied by x-ray photoelectron diffraction and photoelectron holography. Transitions involving both atomic positional order and magnetic order have been studied. Further evidence for a reversible high-temperature surface-disordering phase transition on Ge(111) has been found using Ge 3p x-ray photoelectron diffraction (a short-range- order probe of surface structure that is sensitive to the first 3-5 spheres of neighbors) and photoelectron holography (a recently suggested direct 3-d imaging technique). Azimuthal diffraction data at takeoff angles with respect to the surface of ϴ=19° (including nearest-neighbor forward scattering directions and yielding high surface sensitivity) and ϴ=55° (for which second-nearest-neighbor forward scattering directions and more bulk sensitivity are involved) show abrupt drops in intensity of ~30%-40% over the temperature interval of 900-1200 K. Photoelectron holographic near-neighbor images at temperatures both below and above the transition region furthermore indicate an identical near-neighbor structure for all atoms present in ordered sites. These combined diffraction and holography data show that by 1200 K, the Ge(111) surface is covered by a completely disordered overlayer of about 2 Ge monolayers in thickness. The rate of growth of this overlayer with increasing temperature is also in excellent agreement with recent medium-energy ion scattering results, although the thickness we find for the overlayer is 1.5-2.0x larger than that derived from ion scattering. Based on these data, a disordering model for the Ge(111) surface phase transition occurring at 1050 K is discussed. Spin-polarized photoelectron diffraction is a recently developed and promising application of photoelectron diffraction to the study of the magnetic structure near surfaces. This technique is based on an internal source of spin-polarized electrons as produced in core-level multiplet splittings and it is thus sensitive to the short-range magnetic order around a given type of emitter in the crystal. In prior studies, it has been applied to two antiferromagnets, KMnF3 and MnO, and the effects seen at temperatures well above the Neel (or long-range-order) temperature have been attributed to an abrupt loss of short-range order. In this thesis, data on MnO have been extended. to include the use of synchrotron radiation at photon energies of 150, 170, and 190 eV. Attempts to measure similar effects on two ferromagnets, Fe and Gd, were also made; these yielded preliminary results that should be useful for future studies.|

Edge of ShadowsAutor: CJ Lyons Libro electrónico
Terrorist hunters face danger—and forbidden desire—in this romantic suspense thriller by the New York Times–bestselling author of Lost in Shadows.
The Special Threats Response Team hunts terrorists out of the reach of conventional law enforcement. Their leader, Rose Prospero has already faced her own worst fear: five years ago she was captured and tortured when the CIA abandoned her behind enemy lines. Since then, she’s focused her energies on protecting her Team and her country from monsters like the man who captured her. The Team and the job come first, last, always for Rose, leaving no room for love.
Former Delta, Billy “Edge” Price is Rose’s second-in-command and her best friend. Suave, skilled, and a smooth operator, Billy loves his job—and his boss. He can’t have both, so he’s settled for using his position to stay close to Rose.
As they face enemies from without and within, on the run from anyone who could help them, Rose and Billy learn each other’s deepest secrets, face their greatest fears, and sacrifice everything for Team, Country … and Love.

Viewed from behind, the Volkswagen Concept A could be just another blue-sky attempt at exploring the weirder elements of baby SUV design.
News from Jonathan Hawley, in Geneva for CarPoint
But don't be fooled. The usual rotating turntable on which the Concept A was displayed at the Geneva motor show was also able to spin around and show the front end, which is a clear indicator of how the forthcoming Golf-based Volkswagen off-road will look.
The styling of the Concept A is a radical departure for Volkswagen's normally conservative approach, which has seen the last five Golf models evolve from basically the same elements.
But the German company has already signalled its intentions to go a bit wild with the deep V-shaped grilles of the latest Passat and Jetta. The Concept A takes that ball, adds even more slats and an alloy finish, and runs with it.
Instead of a semi-fastback roofline and "suicide" rear-hinged back doors, the BMW X3 rival will have a more conventional wagon body. Think a scaled-down Touareg with a more sporty look to it, and you're more than halfway there.
Not that the Concept A is exactly small because at 4350mm long it is 145mm longer than a Golf and the production car is likely to be longer again with proper bumpers. It is also 1854mm wide from one flared wheel arch to the other, which could well be excessive in production trim.
Sadly, the Concept A's interior is unlikely to find its way into a road-going version. It has a attractive and coolly high-tech mixture of alloy trim and black leather upholstery, and the driver is faced with a single round dial housing speedometer, tack and satellite navigation display.
The show car was powered by Volkswagen's 1.4-litre TSI engine featuring both supercharger and turbo. There was another twist, however, with the fuel source being compressed natural gas (CNG) instead of gasoline.
The Concept A engine's power and torque outputs of 110kW and 220Nm are outstanding for its small capacity, and compare with the 103kW developed by the same engine (but petrol-powered) that will go into the Golf-based Touran wagon in Europe within months.

Recent findings Recent studies have quantified gastric emptying and nutrient absorption. Slow gastric emptying is common and probably mediated by cholecystokinin and reduced active ghrelin concentrations. The cause of impaired nutrient absorption is not yet fully understood but may be related to small intestinal blood flow and/or mucosal factors. The absorption of the different macronutrients may be affected in different ways both by critical illness and by therapies. A better understanding of this may optimize the design of nutrient formulations in the future. New treatment modalities for gastrointestinal dysfunction are being investigated and include small intestinal feeding, nonpharmacological options such as acupuncture, and drugs including novel motilin receptor agonists, and opioid antagonists. Summary We are gradually developing a better understanding of how the gut works during critical illness, which has implications for optimizing the delivery of nutrition and thereby improving nutritional and clinical outcomes. © 2013 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.

This story isn't about a clash of parties. It is yet another example of the subtle, anti-western sentiment that prevails in American government, media, and politics.
Must be nice to live within just a few hours of Washington, DC - but for the rest of us, and our representatives, the luxury of direct flights isn't an option? The woman needs a bigger plan that can make it from SF to DC without stopping. Hardly a impractical request. It takes long enough to get across the country as it is - more taxpayer money would be wasted if Pelosi had to stop to refuel along the way.

New Homes Bonus benefits Craven residents
The Leeds Liverpool Canal towpath upgrade from Gargrave to Kildwick was partly funded by Craven District Council's New Homes Bonus.
The Government’s New Homes Bonus scheme needs to remain in place to support local communities, says the Leader of Craven District Council.
The New Homes Bonus was introduced in 2011 to provide extra funding for areas where new homes are built.
Projects that have received funding from the New Homes Bonus in Craven include market town projects in Settle, Grassington, Ingleton, Cross Hills and Bentham, the Leeds Liverpool Canal towpath upgrade from Gargrave to Kildwick, Settle Swimming Pool, the redevelopment of Skipton Town Hall, superfast broadband across the district, the DNAire project, Decarbonising Skipton, Transforming Cities Fund, and the Otley Street Arts hub.
The Government is currently considering whether to change or scrap the scheme. North Yorkshire County Council has stated that the scheme should be abolished.
Councillor Richard Foster, Leader of Craven District Council, said: “The New Homes Bonus is an important funding stream for district councils and the communities they serve.
“We know there can be resistance to building new homes but without them, young people and families are struggling to get onto the housing ladder. Increasing the housing supply leads to more affordable housing in the area. The New Homes Bonus helps provide the facilities and improvements that communities need.
“Here in Craven the New Homes Bonus has been targeted directly at the communities that need it most. The current system means that the areas where new housing is built will benefit from the funding – it cannot be siphoned off to other parts of the county. Craven District Council has chosen to invest the funding on new projects across the district, rather than propping up the revenue budget, as some other councils have chosen to do.
“We hope the Government will see sense and maintain current funding levels – otherwise local people will lose out.”

Why these grey-nomads might never visit Yeppoon again
GAIL and Ian Roche left Yeppoon with a sour taste in their mouth saying they may not visit again.
The newly retired couple and their dog Bella were travelling up the coast from Melbourne when they were forced to spend the night on their boat in Rosslyn Bay Harbour after Yeppoon's lack of free camping spots.
The couple, in their 60s said the countless signs around Yeppoon banning camping and overnight stays in public places deterred them from the coastal town.
"They gave off a first impression that the town wasn't very friendly," Gail said.
Travellers since July, Gail and Ian said they never encountered a town as strict on overnight camping as Yeppoon.
Gail said all the coastal towns she'd visited welcomed caravans with open arms.
"When you're just travelling up the coast you don't want to pay for camping," she said.
"We are always looking for free camping spots because it's hard to actually get into caravan parks as they're full.
"So sometimes we have no other choice."
Ian said free camping spots also allowed them to spend money in the community instead of their accommodation which could vary from $5 to $50 a night.
"We go in and do our shopping in the towns with the money that we don't spend on camping," Ian said.
"You feel a small moral obligation to do that but Yeppoon didn't give us that urge."
Veterans on the road Tony and Gayle Sherwin yesterday set up camp at the free camping ground at Kershaw Gardens.
They said they had never been to Yeppoon but agreed with The Roche's that the lack of free camping grounds would deter them to visit.
After three years on the road Tony, 71, said if a town didn't have free camping he'd drive straight through.
"Now that a lot of vans have solar panels, there's no need for us to stay in a caravan park because it's just a waste of money," Tony said.
"There's more people on the roads now than there was three years ago and most people would agree that having free camping spots is a necessity."
Yesterday The Morning Bulletin was referred to Capricorn Enterprises by Livingstone Shire Council who both support the Queensland Camping Options Toolkit.
Tourism manager at Capricorn Enterprises Deanna Bowd said the toolkit was developed by the State Government after 18 months of stakeholder engagement.
"The caravan/motorhome/RV market is a significant and important part of our leisure holiday offering in the Livingstone Shire," Deanne said.
"This is reflected in a broad range of caravan/RV/camping options throughout the shire, including commercial parks, bush camping and national park camping.
Along the Capricorn Coast, there are 10 commercial caravan parks, as well as three Byfield National Park camp grounds to the north of Yeppoon."

While I am back to being dairy-free after a couple of months of trying raw goat’s milk, the fight over whether raw milk is safe or not is something I still follow. This fight is mostly the CDC and local authorities against small farms and the consumers who buy from them.
But as a mother, I want to know whether raw milk is safe or not to feed my children and myself. While it has become a non-issue for my family, as we simply don’t tolerate any dairy well, I also feel part of the "mother community" and would like to know how safe it really is.
So, it was with interest that I read the dire warnings of the CDC released last year (you can read it here, in PDF form). In short, they feel that that wherever raw milk is made legal, incidences of dairy-related outbreaks increase. They recommend increased restricting and prohibiting of raw milk as a way of reducing outbreaks, and end with this line, “Consumption of nonpasteurized dairy products cannot be considered safe under any circumstances.”
Dire words indeed.
Sally Fallon Morell, president of the Weston A Price Foundation, who has been a strong supporter of raw milk freedom in the US, has since then released a critique of the CDC report. She points out dairy products simply aren’t a high-risk product, whether it is pasteurized or not. She is quoted in a press release as saying, “What consumers need to realize, first of all, is that the incidence of foodborne illnesses from dairy products, whether pasteurized or not, is extremely low. For the 14-year period that the authors examined, there was an average of 315 illnesses a year from all dairy products for which the pasteurization status was known. Of those, there was an average of 112 illnesses each year attributed to all raw dairy products and 203 associated with pasteurized dairy products.”
“In comparison, there are almost 24,000 foodborne illnesses reported each year on average. Whether pasteurized or not, dairy products are simply not a high risk product.”
While there were three deaths linked to dairy consumption (two related to raw dairy products, one related to pasteurized), 30 deaths are connected with eggs, and 15 to raw oysters every year, on average.
To further the case, Morell also points out that in the CDC analysis, they lump all of dairy consumption together, rather than comparing raw liquid milk to pasteurized liquid milk. She claims, “Since they fail to present analysis that compares laws concerning fluid milk and outbreaks attributed to fluid milk, we must conclude that they didn’t find any statistical difference. Despite the obvious motive to demonstrate a link between changing the laws to permit raw milk and increased public risk, they in fact demonstrate that they are unable to find any such consequences.”
According to Ted Beals, a retired pathologist who has studied the raw milk issue, when looking at how many drink raw milk, and how few outbreaks actually occur, he feels that the government numbers actually “show us that raw milk is a very safe food.”
When I first researched this topic, I realized how much I wanted someone to tell me that there was no way my child could get sick from whatever food I choose to give my children. But there is just no way to make it a 100% guarantee (whether drinking raw milk or pasteurized or any other food item in question). So the question then goes too, what is reasonably safe? No one wants to play food poisoning Russian roulette, after all.
Statistically, it seems it would be safer to feed my child a glass of raw milk (from a farmer who uses excellent safety procedures), than to serve them an egg that had a slightly runny yolk. I would also assume that a glass of raw milk is also safer than a green smoothie containing spinach since there have been so many recalls and outbreaks involving spinach (and because it is very hard to wash e. coli off of produce).
I will be watching as the raw milk fight continues, and will be hoping for better information (and food freedom!) in the future.

The National Green Tribunal (NGT) slapped a fine of INR₹ 500 crore on the German automaker Volkswagen for damaging the environment through “cheat devices”.
The bench of the NGT that pronounced the fine was headed by NGT Chairperson Justice Adarsh Kumar. The car maker was asked to deposit the fine within the next two months.
On the 16th of November 2018 a green panel said that Volkswagen fit their diesel cars with “cheat devices” to bypass emission control boards. It ordered an interim fine of INR₹ 100 crore to be deposited to the Central Pollution Control Board.
Various ministries and boards of the government recommended fine on the car maker for excess emission of nitrogen oxide in Delhi due to Volkswagen cars.
The tribunal was still to hear the plea filed by a school teacher to seek a ban on sale of volkswagen cars due to violation of emission control.
The Volkswagen emission scandal surfaced in September 2015. Volkswagen had programmed their diesel cars to activate their emission control only during laboratory emission testing, making sure that the nitrogen oxide met standards of regulatories. However the diesel vehicles emitted 40 times more nitrogen oxide in the real world.
Volkswagen admitted to programming 11 million cars between 2009 and 2015.
The company was fined US$ 2.8 billion in the United States for rigging diesel-powered vehicles in 2017.
(The Pigeon Express Opinion– Volkswagen seem to have got away very lightly in India. 500 crore fine in India vs 20,000 crore in the United States. This indicates the value of Indian lives against an American citizen.)

Technically .380acp is 9mm in diameter :tongue:, but anyways, most people that have the little pocket guns in .380acp have more than 1 round to shoot :tongue: and I believe that the 13 rounds of .380acp that I carry in my Smith&Wesson Bodyguard 380 will stop most attackers. God Bless :smile:
As an update to those who have been breathlessly awaiting a progress report on the testing of my replacement P380, another 100 rounds of my preferred Speer Lawman TMJ have been successfully fired, totaling just over 200 consecutive malfunction-free shots with this particular load, following about 150 trouble-free shots of various FMJ and HP rounds. So my particular P380 is probably as reliable as any P380, and will consider carrying it, if I cannot manage concealing a .38 Special snub, or something larger.
However, due to the numerous malfunctions (with FMJ) during the first hundred rounds fired, and the 550 rounds wasted on the original frame, I hesitate to give my P380 an unqualified endorsement, and will have to similarly extensively test any other load, FMJ or HP, I may consider in the future.
I will caution friends and colleagues to be prepared to drop a couple of C-notes on test ammunition, and even more should they happen to acquire another of the similarly defective frames still out there (I haven’t heard of any recalls). I believe this piece is potentially far superior to the Ruger LCP or S&W Bodyguard .380 et. al., and someday could well prove to be worth its premium price, but not with its current issues.
The best .380 I ever owned was a stainless Sig P230 (not a misprint , I mean P230, not P238) which digested anything, I also learned to trust German (French)-made Walther PPK/S’s (as imported by Interarms), but only with FMJ ammunition. However, both of these are too big to be classed with the choices given on the ballot. So I’d simply cast a “None of the Above” vote, but that option isn't on the ballot.
I can only recommend the Ruger LCP since I have one. I really like it, like the design, size and its quality.
P3AT 3,011 documented rounds with 5 failures (two in first mag) replaced springs every ~800rds
Rohrbaugh R9 532rds of 115GD HP one ftf (that round would not fire in my beretta and Hi Power)
Seecamp 32. ~350 by me no failures with hornady xtp (my carry ammo)
Seecamp 380 ~300 of only federal hydra-shok 0 failures
LCP failures with hornady CD, none with any other ammo ~200rd
If I was on a budget and had one choice would be Kel-Tec P32 with Fiocchi 73gr fmj.
I have owned and shot most on this list plus two types of browning .380s, two types of beretta .380s, and a star .380. My walther ppk and the star .380 are MY favorites. I carry a variety from .45 lc, .44 spec, .45 acp, etc. I still find the walther to be one of my regularly carried pocket guns.
Just my .02
I have used the Sig P238 & the Ruger LCP. They have their pros and cons. My wife like her LCP & I like my P238. IMO the LCP is your true super sleek quick draw pocket pistol, however i also believe it is a 5' gun the sites are??? well you know, nonexistent. The P238 I can still draw quickly after I have paracticed although it is not as sleek as the LCP. I can also hit targets at 7yds with precision. The nite sites are awesome as well. Its all a matter of opinion. You now have mine.:confused:
I have to have a small pocket pistol (sometimes my PM9 works but even that is usally too big) due to occupation and dress requirements. Tried a P380, couldn't hit the floor with it! Got the LCP and am much more accurate with it. Go figure. I have a Kahr K9, and PM9...great guns and I can shoot them both well. But The P380 is next to useless for me, much as I wanted to like it.
And druryj, I'm surprised to hear your impression of the Kahr P380, as I found mine quite accurate and controllable for its diminutive size, once it's frustrating reliability problems were finally worked out when Kahr essentially replaced it. My p380 was initially accurate but unreliable, maybe yours had defects that made it reliable but inaccurate!Quote:

Just my two cents (multiplied about forty thousand times).
I have never shot the DB380 or the Sig, but I have owned 2 P3AT's , the Bodyguard, 2 LCP's and 2 P380's. I have sold all but the Kahrs. My next favorite to shoot was the P3AT. I am amazed that anybody could shoot more accurately with an LCP than a P380. The sights on the LCP are almost nonexistent and the trigger doesn't compare. But, that's the great thing about having choices. You can find what works for you
The only reason why I pick the BG 380 is because that all I have for a handgun lol.
I have 2 P380's 0ne had problems and one didn't - I think there was a batch of bad parts (I suspect it was the locaton of the barrel lug) for a month or so - but do not know this for sure. They seem to be back on track now. I think its best because I haven't shot many of the other choices and I really like mine. They are thin, small, light and beautifully made.
I bought the bg 380 and have no regrets. Shes tightly finished and has the laser integrated onto the frame.

What do global sports fans expect from today’s sports sponsorships? Would they welcome having even more sponsorship in sports than already exists today?
Those were among the questions Momentum Worldwide set out to answer earlier this year. The global agency, winner of the 2015 Sports Business Award for Best in Sports Event and Experiential Marketing, polled more than 2,000 sports fans in the United States, U.K., Brazil, Spain and Japan in March and April.
What it got back, according to Momentum executives, reinforced many of the thoughts the agency’s representatives already had, but it highlighted certain areas of growing importance in the industry as well. Among those: the significance of creating social elements around any activations.
“It came through at a much deeper level maybe than we expected,” said Mike Sundet, the agency’s senior vice president and director of sports and entertainment.“It [was] exciting for us [to see] how receptive consumers are to brands coming in and changing the experience and making it better.”

Machine monitoring Switzerland: Unmanned production through process monitoring
Machine monitoring is a prerequisite for reliable, safe unmanned production. Bär und Mettler uses the monitoring system Artis CTM from Marposs.
Swiss Tool System is one of the world's most important manufacturers of system tools, specializing in spindle systems and holders for turning machining. Headquartered in Bürglen, Thurgau, Switzerland, Bär und Mettler AG is the production company for Swiss Tool System.
Productivity is pivotal
For finishing in their grinding shop, Bär und Mettler requires quality expertise more than anything else. Here, precision and accuracy must be ensured to a micrometre-level. In preliminary turning and milling, on the other hand, the main focus is on productivity. "Of course precise production is also essential in turning and milling, but productivity is the crucial factor here", explains Peter Heinemann, CTO at Swiss Tool System. He adds: "The machines must work reliably and unmanned around the clock."
For this purpose, appropriate machine tools were purchased and equipped with assistance systems to support unmanned operation. Bär und Mettler have chosen three Doosan Puma MX 2100 multi tasking turning centres for this work. This machining centre allows for complete machining of a part in a machine and with the milling head in its B-axis also a very flexible manufacturing of complex components.
The Doosan machines were equipped with the Marposs Artis CTM monitoring system, because Doosan's own monitoring system did not meet the demands of Bär und Mettler’s production.
"The Doosan system was simply not sensitive enough for our small tools and diameters," says P. Heinemann. He adds: "Also, it is important for us to measure parallel to main time. Thus, tool monitoring with mechanical or tactile systems was not suitable for us. Furthermore, we have already used Artis systems on our old machines."
Monitoring of complex machining processes with CTM
Influences on processes from machine, tool and workpiece must be reliably recognized to prevent damage and unplanned shutdowns. Maximising tool usage and avoiding scrap are essential to ensure and increase productivity. Bär und Mettler for example always operate two parallel tools parallel, which are monitored simultaneously. The main requirement of the selected tool, process and machine condition monitoring system Artis CTM thus was to monitor all process-relevant spindles and axes parallel. It was integrated into the machine via existing standard interfaces (Ethernet with FOCAS2). The machining processes are dynamically monitored using the existing digital control signals (DTA = digital torque adapter) of both spindles and the relevant five feed axis. This means that the Artis CTM system automatically selects the four most appropriate spindle/axle signals for real-time monitoring from the eight control signals. This allows for selective monitoring of the various tools, without the need for additional external sensors.
Variation in the process can be detected immediately
The CTM system logs the entire process and creates appropriate curve diagrams via its statistics function. The data can be stored on the Artis Terminal (Windows) or in the network. The system basically "learns" the ideal process for each workpiece and processing step. Later variations (process anomalies) can be detected immediately at every moment of the process. Standard monitoring methods are breakage, lack, overload and tool wear, for which alarm and notification limits are individually set and parameterised. The monitoring works reliably from the first go. CTM's self-adjusting system (SAS) with self-calibrating segmentation and adjustment responds automatically to process variations, thus greatly simplifying settings and interventions.
"We notice any changes in the process immediately", says P. Heinemann. Not only potential tool breakage, but also tool wear can be identified. To achieve this, a trend in the development of the processes' total force is observed over a period of time. As soon as a set limit is reached, the process is either switched to a spare tool or another response is initiated depending on manufacturing strategy. Bär und Mettler for example do not use spare tools because of their small lot sizes.
"The global service network Marposs offers supports their clients’ monitoring: In case of questions, Marposs service staff can log into the Windows-based system via Team Viewer. The investment cost for an Artis-CTM system is about two or three percent of the machine tool’s total costs."
Minimum 130 spindle hours per week
The manufacture of modular tool systems requires a high degree of flexibility. Lot sizes are usually between 20 and 500 pieces. "We want to achieve at least 130 spindle hours per week", says P. Heinemann. This requires a 24/7 production, where only one shift is manned. P Heinemann adds: "At the moment, we are at almost 115 hours. Machine- and system-wise, we already meet the requirements for a higher number of spindle hours, but we have only installed the systems in early 2015 and now the proper planning is crucial."

After a few remaining tasks, reconstruction of the bridge at the intersection of Routes 9 and 16 in Wellesley will be complete. And only five years behind schedule.
Structural work was completed earlier this month, and state transportation officials said they hope to be done landscaping and installing video cameras by August.
"The contractor is awaiting delivery of the video detection equipment,’’ said Adam Hurtubise, spokesman for the Massachusetts Department of Transportation. "We expect that this work will be completed at some point within the next 30 days."
Construction on the bridge began in 2003, with an original completion date slated for 2005. The project was beset with delays, as contractors went out of business, power lines were relocated, historical stonework was preserved, and residents and commuters seethed.
But state transportation officials have learned a lot from the experience, Hurtubise said.
"One of the most significant lessons learned was the impact that complex utility relocations can have on the project," Hurtubise said. "MassDOT now has in place a pre-qualification system in which contractors must demonstrate that they are able to complete projects before they can bid on those projects."
Hurtubise said that drivers can expect intermittent lane closures as video equipment is installed, but that the bridge itself should remain open for traffic as the project wraps up.
"We are extremely grateful for the patience shown by the community, by local officials and by the many drivers who use the bridge," Hurtubise said.

Consider these things when shopping for an elliptical under $500.
First, consider your budget and how much you’re willing to spend on an elliptical trainer. You can find some great machines for under $500, but you may have to compromise on features or quality if you want to stay within your budget.
Next, decide what features are most important to you. Some people prefer elliptical trainers with bells and whistles, while others prefer a more basic machine.
Elliptical trainers under $500 typically have fewer features than more expensive models. However, you can still find machines with all the basics, such as heart rate monitors and programs for different workouts.
First, consider the flywheel weight. A heavier flywheel will provide a smoother workout, while a lighter flywheel will be more affordable.
The flywheel is one of the main components that provide resistance to the pedals. It gives the user resistance to moving the pedals, which makes the elliptical exercise more difficult.
A heavier flywheel provides more resistance and takes more energy to move, which makes it a more challenging workout. If you want to burn fat quickly, buy an elliptical trainer with a heavy flywheel.
The first thing you need to do is decide how much space you have available.
Ellipticals can range in size from compact machines that can fit in a closet to larger machines that take up the space of a small room.
Consider a compact elliptical that folds up for easy storage if you have limited space.
The stride length is the distance between the pedals. It should be long enough, so your feet don’t feel cramped while pedaling but not so long that your knees feel strained. Most Ellipticals have a stride length of 18-22 inches.
The resistance levels determine how hard it is to pedal. If you’re new to elliptical training, you may want a machine with lower resistance levels to ease into your workout.
More experienced users may want a machine with higher resistance levels for a more challenging workout. Most machines have at least 10 resistance levels.
Finally, think about what extras you might want on your elliptical. Some models come with built-in speakers so you can listen to music or podcasts while you work out, while others have display screens that track your heart rate, calories burned, distance traveled, and more.
Choose the most important features to you, and compare prices before making your final decision.
In conclusion, if you want to buy an elliptical exercise bike, choose one with a full suspension system, a heart rate monitor, and a digital console with a built-in interval timer, so that you can easily and accurately track your progress.
Also, make sure you can control the resistance with a remote to vary the resistance levels based on your preferences and personal fitness goals.
Our ultimate recommendation would be (x).
Yes, as long as you use the elliptical to exercise your entire body, you will benefit greatly from it.
It will help you lose weight, burn calories, increase your heart rate, and improve muscle mass. All of these things will make you healthier.
Well, we all know that walking is good for you. However, many prefer to avoid walking because it is too boring.
There are a lot of people who use an elliptical machine instead of walking because it is more interesting. However, the main benefit of an elliptical machine is that it doesn’t require much physical effort.
Both of these machines will help you to exercise. Both of these machines will help you to burn calories. You can burn more calories if you use a treadmill.
The main benefits of using an elliptical machine are that it doesn’t require much physical effort. A treadmill, however, requires a lot of physical effort.
Ellipticals work your lower body muscles, including the hamstrings, glutes, quadriceps, and calves. And If you use handles, you can work your upper body muscles, including the biceps, triceps, shoulders, back, chest, and forearms.

From Dark to Light…
Let there be light! With a stroke of his pen, President Trump reversed the Obama era ban on incandescent light bulbs and kept big Government at bay. Let the consumer decide. If I want to use an incandescent light bulb and pay a little more for a warmer brighter light, then that’s my choice! You can still use the energy saver LED bulbs if you want- it’s your choice and that is the whole point!
The choice of how to light our homes and businesses should be left to the American people, NOT the Federal Government!
