Tips for Beginners to Get Started with Volleyball
By Pakmen Volleyball Research Staff
Volleyball is an interesting game that is gaining in different parts of the world and brings people together of all ages. Men and women as well as boys and girls choose to play volleyball.
Like any other sports, volleyball has its own rules. The game of volleyball is played by two teams. Each volleyball team consists of 6 players. The teams play on opposite sides of the court.
Each player has his/her own position and responsibilities on the court. Some position themselves in the front row of the court and some in the back row of the court.
It’s important to know that volleyball teams should aim to land the ball on each side of the court. Volleyball is played until one of the teams earns 25 points and has a 2 point advantage.
Oftentimes, beginners find it difficult to get started with volleyball. Once you get started, you need to train smart and work hard to improve your volleyball skills. All of this will allow you to become a better player, who will be able to demonstrate good performance and contribute greatly, to the success of your team.
How go you get started and play the game of volleyball like a pro? What does it take to be a good volleyball player? What skills does a volleyball player have to work on? Obviously, it’s incredibly important for beginners to get the answers to all of these important questions.
In this blog, we would like to provide tips for beginners to help you get started with volleyball successfully. We’ll describe what steps beginners have to take on their journey to success. Read on to get familiar with volleyball tips for beginners and get the most out of your practices.
Master Volleyball Serving Skills
All volleyball games begin with a serve, that’s why it’s so important for beginners to learn how to serve properly.
The ball can be served in several ways. There are two types of serves in volleyball, overhand and underhand serves. It is best to learn underhand serves before you get started on overhand serves.
Depending on the situation, you can pick the type of a serve during a game. It’s up to you to select what type of serve is better. Clearly, you should analyse the game carefully and serve the ball in the way that’s more convenient to you.
Learn How to Bump the Ball
After handling the ball, you should pass it to one of your teammates. Next, try to organize an attack hit. Bumping the ball is all about passing the ball to the setter.
First and foremost, you have to prepare for bumping. It would be great to handle the ball with a fist. When taking this position, you need to ensure that your thumbs are flat. Your thumbnails have to face upward. Put your feet shoulder-width apart.
You should watch volleyball carefully at all times. By doing so, you will be able to predict where the ball is likely to land after the opposing team’s attack hit.
Obviously, you should approach where your ball is likely to land on your side of the court ahead of time. When handling the ball, the ball must stay in front of you. Rotate your elbow to point the ball in the right direction.
Develop Your Setting Skills
Of course, you should also practice your volleyball setting skills. It all begins with preparation. First of all, you need to prepare for setting properly. Your hands have to be held in the air and form a triangle. Bend your legs slightly and keep your feet shoulder width apart.
When setting the ball, you need to ensure that you are contacting the ball with your fingertips. It’s also very important to contact the ball at the right time. Do your best to contact the ball when it reaches your eye level. Take advantage of your legs to push the ball upward toward your target.
Practice Attacking Skills
Let’s say that you have resisted the opponent’s attack hit and handled the ball successfully. After, you should make a pass and send a ball to one of your teammates on the court.
Next, a volleyball hitter should try to carry out an attack hit and land the ball on the opposing side of the court. If an attack is successful, your team will earn a point.
That’s why it’s so important for you to work on attacking volleyball skills. It would be great for you to approach the hitting place beforehand.
Aim to hit the ball forcefully and precisely with your dominant hand. Hit the ball with power and do your best to make it difficult for the opposing team’s blockers to resist your attack hit.
When hitting the ball, you should also watch the opponent’s blockers and find the holes in the opposing team’s defense.
Focus on Developing Volleyball Blocking Skills
Blocking is a key element of a team’s defense, so the success of your volleyball team’s defense largely depends on its blockers. The way you block the ball determines how the next play will be.
Blocking is a great way to stop the opposing team’s attacks. It’s important to keep in mind that blocking gives a team an excellent opportunity to turn defense into offence.
In a game, the ball often goes in unpredictable directions after a block, resulting in your opponents finding it difficult to resist an attack hit after the ball has been blocked.
If you are a defensive volleyball player, then blocking has to be a part of your training program. Of course, every blocker should work hard to improve his/her volleyball blocking skills.
Master the Art of Digging
Let’s assume that the opposing team has carried out an attack hit and the ball has gone through your team’s blockers and now it’s about to land on your side of the volleyball court. The only thing you can do is to dig the ball.
Luckily, digging is a technique that makes it possible for defensive players to stop the ball from landing on your side of the court. Most importantly, attempt to land the ball on the court successfully after digging the ball properly. Avoid getting injuries after landing.
Practice Volleyball Drills
Practicing basic volleyball drills are a must for developing basic skills. By doing so, you’ll improve your performance significantly.
The big question is – what type of drills should beginners practice? Evidently, beginners should focus on drills that improve their serving, setting, passing, blocking, digging and hitting techniques.
Such basic volleyball drills as Wall Hitting, Wall Blocks, 1-on-1 Setting Drills, Toss and Pass must be a part of a beginner’s volleyball training program.
It goes without saying that you’ll get started with the sport of volleyball successfully if you practice these basic drills on a regular basis. Performing these drills will allow players to develop basic skills, boost their performance and overall become a better player.
Train Hard, Train Smart and Train Regularly
Without a doubt, Hard work is necessary in order to achieve success. Attend practices, work on perfecting each technique and practice volleyball drills on a regular basis.
Frst, beginners should focus on mastering basic skills. Then, volleyball athletes should improve their skills and try to boost their performance.
Although it may be difficult to learn these techniques, volleyball players should never stop on their way to success!
Long pauses in training will negatively affect the performance of volleyball players. Hence it’s important for volleyball players to stay consistent with their training.
Thank you for reading this article. Beginners should work hard to develop basic skills. Getting started with volleyball can be hard. However, things will be easier if you work hard on a regular basis. Volleyball beginners should focus on developing serving, setting, blocking, diving and attacking techniques. Stay consistent with your training and success will not keep you waiting. Good luck!

Several patents were obtained in various countries.
Wood Wool Cement Board (WWCB) Plant
The data below provides information on the two most common WWCB plant types as provided by Eltomation, which are:
A. Fully Automated WWCB Plant (incl. full Finishing Line).
B. Expandable (semi-automated) WWCB Plant.
Both Plant types are provided with the ELTOMATIC CVS-16 Rotating Wood Wool Machine, which allows the production of high-quality boards at high capacity.
The Fully Automated WWCB Plant allows for the production of the full range of WWCB products, which includes:
- Standard WWCB (typically produced with grey cement)
- Acoustic ceiling panels (usually produced with fine fibers, white cement and optionally spray-painted)
- Composite WWCB (2- or 3-layer Sandwich board with a core of EPS, XPS or Rockwool)
- Reinforced WWC Roofing Boards (for high load bearing applications).
This advanced Production Line is provided with an “Automatic Board Drying Line, followed by a full “Finishing Line”, which includes operations such as Thickness Calibration, Trimming & Profiling and Spray Painting. Finished boards are automatically palletized, strapped and/or fully packed.
Optional to such “Fully Automated WWCB Plant” we can provide our Clients with a so-called “Expandable WWCB Plant“. Such Expandable Plant includes the main production line, however does not have the Board Drying Line and only a limited Finishing Line. To reduce the initial investment, the Expandable WWCB Plant is designed for the manual feeding of wood blocks and manual (de)stacking of boards. At a later stage, more equipment can be added, to increase the product range and reduce the labour requirements. This line is therefore more suitable for clients, where labour costs are low to modest and the market for the board still needs to be developed.
Eltomation will closely work with each Client to offer the best suitable “custom made” WWCB plant configuration in view of grade of automation, layout and labour requirements.
Large WWC Wall Elements Production Line
Eltomation has in recent years developed a new production line for the manufacture of Prefab Large Wood Wool Cement Wall Elements
The newly designed Large Element Line allows the production of full-size Prefab Wall Elements of up to 6 m length, 2,6 – 3 m height and 30 – 50 cm thickness. These Wall Elements provide a high thermal insulation, 6+ hours fire-resistance, as well as a high heat storage capacity. These full-size wall elements allow the fast and economic contruction of energy-efficient (passive) pre-fab housing units.
EltoBoard (high density Wood Strand Cement Board) Plant
This fully automated EltoBoard (/WWCB) Plant can produce various board types:
- High density Wood Strand Cement Board / EltoBoard
In addition the following (low density) WWCB Products can be produced on this line as well:
- Standard Wood Wool Cement Boards (WWCB);
- Acoustic WWCB (decorative and sound absorbing ceiling boards, usually produced with fine-fibers and white cement);
- Optionally: Composite WWCB (2- or 3-layer sandwich boards with a core sheet of EPS/XPS, PU-foam, Rockwool or other insulating material);
- Reinforced Roofing WWCB (pole reinforced roofing boards to carry a high (snow)load);
This advanced EltoBoard (WWCB) Plant is quite similar to our WWCB Plant, however also allows the production of medium- and high-density EltoBoard, by having an EltoBoard Press be added to the Plant.
Such “Fully automated EltoBoard/WWCB Plant” is standard provided with an Automatic Board Drying Line, followed by a Finishing Line, which includes various finishing operations such as Thickness Calibration, Final Trimming & Profiling and (optionally) automated Spray Painting of the individual boards. As a final step the finished boards are automatically stacked onto pallets and strapped and/or fully packed, according to the specific wishes of each Client.
Eltomatic – Wood Wool Machine
The Eltomatic is our fully automated Wood Wool Machine. It is designed to produce high quality wood wool of various thicknesses at a high capacity.
The Eltomatic Wood Wool Machine was designed to produce high-quality wood wool (excelsior) at a consistent high capacity. It is often supplied as a part of our production line and most modern Wood Wool Cement Board Plants are provided with 1 or 2 Eltomatic Wood Wool Machines.
The Eltomatic receives 50 cm long (previously debarked) wood blocks of up to 26 cm diameter. These blocks are cut into 2 equal lengths of 25 cm each for automatic placement onto the rotating disc. The disc contains 16 (quick exchange) knife sets. The automatic placement of blocks is nowadays based on servo-drives and electronically regulated hydraulic systems for a precise and controlled movement of the equipment.
Using the Eltomatic Wood Wool Machine has its benefits:
- Fully automated operation, ensuring safe production of high quality wood wool
- Wood wool of various thicknesses
- High capacity
- Various wood species possible
- Effective use of raw material
Cement Bonded Particle Board (CBPB) Plant
Unlike our other Wood-Cement Products, CBPB is not produced from the long wood wool fibers but from small wood particles, which are mixed and bonded by cement, water and a small quantity of additives. These wood particles are produced from either wood flakes/chips or from debarked logs (such as Pine/Spruce), to be processed to the proper dimensions. The Dosing & Mixing Process is based on a batch mixing process, where after the wood particle-cement mixture is precisely (and on continuous basis) spread onto special flat steel cauls by our proprietary Mechanical Forming Stations. The scope of supply in the main production line furthermore includes the following processes/Groups: Caul Circulation – Mat Stacking – Stack Pressing– Curing Chamber – Destacking Operation of cured boards. Final processing includes: Board Drying, Final Trimming & Profiling and a Stacking/Packaging Operation. Optionally a Painting Line can be added.
Board dimensions are based on 2400-3200 mm length x 1200 mm width. Thicknesses range from 8-40 mm.
The density of CBPB is approx. 1250-1400 kg/m³. Product specifications will be in accordance to EN 634-2 : 2007.
Typical CBPB Plant Capacities (based on 3 shifts/day) are 120, 150 or up to 200 m3/day.
The realization of our CBPB Plant projects will be in close cooperation with our new European partners. This cooperation, which brings together the experiences and strengths of all parties, results in a faster and more efficient process for equipment & electrical controls design, manufacturing, plant commissioning and after-sales services

High density Wood Strand Cement Board – EltoBoard
EltoBoard (Wood Strand Cement Board) is a type of Wood Strand Cement Board with improved structural strength This high density board has been developed by Eltomation based on long-term experience with similar wood cement boards. EltoBoard offers durability, structural strength and resistance against fire, moisture, freeze-thaw cycles and termites, which makes it suitable for a wide range of internal & external applications. Due to the use of long wood strands instead of wood particles, it is lighter and stronger and more flexible (less brittle) than Cement Bonded Particle Board (CBPB).
EltoBoard is an environmentally friendly building material, free from harmful substances. The board does not contain any formaldehyde, toxic substances, asbestos or any other hazardous ingredients. Neither does the production process emit any environmentally unfriendly or toxic waste. The main components of EltoBoard are wood strands, Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and water.
Cement Bonded Particle Board
Cement Bonded Particle Board (CBPB) is manufactured mainly from the familiar and proven raw materials – Cement and PEFC Certified Soft Wood Particles – to which a small quantity of additives is added to ‘mineralize’ the wood particles.
CBPB is suitable for exterior and interior use; it is asbestos free; it contains no hazardous volatiles and its process dust is regarded as non-aggressive.
After being absent from his specific market for some time, Eltomation is pleased to again offer such turn-key CBPB Plant projects, based on our long-term involvement in several (turn-key) CBPB Plants and our experience in upgrading of existing CBPB Plants. The realization of such CBPB Plant projects will be in close cooperation with our new European partner. This cooperation, which brings together the experiences and strengths of both parties, results in a faster and more efficient process for equipment & electrical controls design, manufacturing, plant commissioning and after-sales services.

Marc Bush, primary policy adviser at Young Minds, stated that while online counselling services are important, “they should not change in person treatment with a skilled professional. If a young adult is struggling, we would encourage them to talk with their GP in the very first circumstances, or to contact an established service like The Mix, Childline or the Samaritans.”.
For Rackham, who has generalised stress and anxiety condition, online counselling wasn’t the ideal fit. “I felt it was near impossible for the therapist to really get a sense of the concerns I was handling, as all they had to go from was my typed-out words. I believe I realised after that online session how essential social interaction was.
” I’m a big fan of using innovation in all areas of my life as an option to everyday issues. I have apps for everything, but when it concerns mental health, you have to choose how technology plays a role in your healing really thoroughly.”.
Instead, the app prides itself on having licensed therapists and psychological health professionals readily available to assist individuals by means of text, telephone call or video chat. That’s what lots of YouTubers who have actually accepted sponsorships from the company frequently say in their own videos, where they speak on the stresses in their individual lives and sensations verging on anxiety or depression.

Can neuroscience unlock the secrets of the brain and help resolve conflicts? A new 21School Briefing has been published following an event last month, which brought together a renowned neuroscientist with a peace negotiator to debate the role of the brain in conflict mediation.
Jeremy Lack, a partner with Etude Altenburger in Geneva and leading proponent of mediation and dispute resolution, met with Baroness Susan Greenfield, Professor of synaptic pharmacology and Director of the for the Future of the Mind, to talk about how neurobiology is beginning to generate new and astonishing insights into current conflict prevention and resolution systems.
Their conversation concludes that we may need to rethink current ways of negotiating. Neurobiology is already indicating that a better understanding of the brain could offer innovative techniques to those involved in conflict prevention and resolution.

Finding Neverland Party (46 photos)
For my daughter's 4th birthday, we threw a party inspired by the children's storybook Peter Pan and the movie Finding Neverland that appealed to boys and girls... children and adults! The party took place at a local park where we brought the Darling nursery in the Victorian era. We encouraged the children to journey to Never Never Land through imaginative play and offered plenty of activities, including reading the story, "flying" on a trampoline while sprinkling pixie dust, and blowing bubbles and making sand art at the Mermaid Lagoon, among many others.

California is home to several invasive species that negatively affect the natural balance of the local ecosystem. Invasive insects are an annoying presence to humans and are harmful to the native plants in the area. Unfortunately, these invasive insects are incredibly tough to eradicate. Even with extensive efforts, they still affect the Californian ecosystem in many ways.
Here are just some of the many invasive insects in California.
1. Africanized Honey Bee (Apis mellifera scutellata)
Known by its more common name, the killer bee, Africanized honey bees are a hybrid bee species resulting from the crossbreeding of African and European honey bees. They were first introduced to Brazil in 1957 and later spread into North America in the early 1990s. Today, they are invasive insects in California.
Africanized honey bees are similar in appearance to European honey bees, but they are ever-so-slightly smaller. They are around 0.4 to 0.6 inches long, with a wingspan between 1 and 1.2 inches. They also have darker bands on their abdomens compared to their cousins. Despite these differences, it can be very hard to distinguish between these two types of bees without specialized equipment or knowledge.
Their behavior, in particular, is what makes these bees a pest and invasive species. They have a tendency to be excessively defensive of their hives and colonies and often form swarms. This behavior poses a significant threat to the safety of humans. In fact, over 1,000 people have been killed since their introduction. They also pose a threat to European honey bees! They will compete for food and habitats while displacing the native species.
California’s agricultural commissioner established an action plan to help control the population of the Africanized honey bee. This plan includes educating the public on their presence and behavior and removing the swarms or hives that threaten the public’s safety.
2. Oriental Fruit Fly (Bactrocera dorsalis)
This species of fruit fly is native to Southeast Asia. It has become an invasive insect in California and much of the world. The oriental fruit fly is around 0.3 inches in length and has a striped yellow and brown body with clear wings. Their wings have a black band around them.
The oriental fruit fly is attracted to ripening fruit and vegetables, especially those with high sugar content. The females will lay their eggs in these foods, which will later hatch and feed on them. This fly can attack more than 230 different fruit and vegetable crops, including citrus trees, avocado, mango, and papaya.
The oriental fruit fly poses a threat to California’s agricultural industry. If left uncontrolled, they could cause huge amounts of damage to California’s crops. This would lead to substantial economic losses for farmers and higher prices for consumers.
To prevent the spread of these pests, the California Department of Food and Agriculture has introduced several safety measures, including setting traps, inspecting and treating produce shipped out of infested areas, and releasing sterile male flies to disrupt the breeding cycle of the pest.
3. Argentine Ant (Linepithema humile)
The Argentine ant is a small and slender ant species native to Northern Argentina. The Argentine ant is usually between 0.08 and 0.125 inches long with uniform brown coloration, which makes them easily identifiable.
Argentine ants are very opportunistic when it comes to nesting. Colony nests have been found in cracks in walls, in the ground, in spaces between boards and timbers, and in other annoying places. Although they do not sting or bite humans, these ants are a nuisance pest in homes, invading food storage and spoiling goods.
Argentine ants have a varied diet that consists of nectar, insects, seeds, honeydew, and more. As a result, these ants affect the balance of the ecosystem by facilitating plant-feeding pest insects and disrupting native ants, pollinators, and vertebrates.
This invasive species has no known specific predators, making the population much harder to control. Attempts to control Argentine ant populations include chemical and cultural means.
4. American Serpentine Leaf Miner (Liriomyza trifolii)
The American serpentine leaf miner is native to North America and has found its way throughout the country, including California. It is a small fly-like insect that is typically less than 1/8 inch in length and has a distinctive yellow and black striped body.
These leaf miners are named for their tendency to build tunnels in a plant’s leaves while they feed on the plant itself. The tunnels make a cozy nest for the larvae. They will eat the leaves and tunnel through the interior, creating distinctive serpentine patterns.
The serpentine leaf miner feeds on a large variety of plants, including fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants. As a result, they cause a large amount of damage to crops, reducing crop yields.
The American serpentine leaf miner is considered an invasive species because it is not native to California and has no natural predators to control its population. As such, their numbers have grown rapidly, and they are causing an exponential amount of damage to plants and crops. Unfortunately, the pesticides used to control these flies also cause harm to other species and the environment.
5. Red Imported Fire Ant (Solenopsis invicta)
The red imported fire ant is native to South America and found its way into California in 1998. Since then, these ants have been invasive insects in California, infesting several residential and commercial areas in the state. These dark reddish brown ants vary between 0.06 to 0.2 inches in length, the same as the native harvester ant, and similar in size to the also native southern fire ant. The red imported fire ant has a stinger on the end of its abdomen to protect itself and its nest from invaders.
These ants are very aggressive and territorial and will sting humans and animals to protect their nests. Their nests are built in mounds which are large dome-shaped structures reaching 2 feet in diameter and 1 foot tall. Their diet includes plants, animals, seeds, and other organic matter, which they will bring back to their colony and store for later.
Having no natural predators in California, the population numbers are thriving. This is creating an imbalance compared to the native ant species. Red imported fire ants have also been linked to changes in the soil structure and damage to crops.
6. Ash Whitefly (Siphoninus phillyreae)
The ash whitefly is a tiny insect that is about 0.06 to 0.125 inches in length. They have a white or yellowish body and four white wings that are held in a tent-like shape over their bodies. The ash whitefly uses its piercing-sucking mouth to feed on plant sap. This insect was first introduced to California in the late 1980s. It poses a significant threat to local fruit and shade trees.
Ash whiteflies feed on a variety of plants, including ash trees, which is where they get their name. They are known to be especially destructive to avocado trees, which are prominent in California. They feed on the sap from plants, which can cause damage to the leaves and stems and eventually lead to the death of the plant if the damage is substantial enough.
Historically, the flies have made a huge economic impact in California, particularly in the shade and fruit tree nursery industry, costing hundreds of millions of dollars. In 1992, California introduced a control program for these flies by releasing small parasitic wasps that would attack and kill the ash whitefly. Since then, the numbers have dropped significantly. These insects, thankfully, are no longer considered a major threat to the state. They should not be able to cause such large economic damage in the future.
7. German Yellowjacket (Vespula germanica)
The German yellowjacket is a species of wasp native to Europe. It has become an invasive insect in California. They measure around 0.5 to 0.6 inches long and have a very distinctive black and yellow striped body.
These wasps are social insects and live in colonies that can include several thousand individuals. They are known for their aggressive behavior and can sting multiple times, causing pain, swelling, and in rare cases, allergic reactions that lead to death.
German yellowjackets are omnivorous and feed on things like other insects, fruits, and nectar. They are also attracted to human food and rubbish, making them a nuisance in residential areas.
Several control methods for German yellowjackets are used in California, including a combination of cultural, biological, and chemical control. The most crucial control method is informing the population about the wasp’s habits and nature and teaching them how to properly dispose of food waste and garbage from outdoor areas to discourage the wasps from congregating.
8. Elm Leaf Beetle (Xanthogaleruca luteola)
The elm leaf beetle is an invasive insect in California. It is actually one of the most important urban forest pests in California! This beetle was introduced into the United States in the 1830s and was first detected in California in 1924. Elm leaf beetles are olive-green in color with black stripes and are around 0.25 inches in length when fully grown.
The diet of the elm leaf beetle is elm plants, from which they get their name. They eat elm foliage and damage the plants. This leads to the loss of foliage, which is aesthetically displeasing and removes shade that the plants usually provide. The damage the beetle causes can weaken trees and increase susceptibility to diseases. This insect can be found wherever there are elm plants — a truly invasive species.
In addition to damaging elm trees, this beetle can be an annoyance to homeowners as they can gather in large numbers on buildings and other structures. These beetles will leave behind yellow stains on the surface from their excrement.
9. Vine Mealybug (Planococcus ficus)
These tiny, soft-bodied insects are native to the Mediterranean region and were first detected in California in the early 1990s. They have since become a significant pest of grapevines and other crops within the state. They are around 0.125 to 0.25 inches long and have a pinkish body covered in a white, waxy coating, giving them a fuzzy appearance. The male vine mealybugs are much smaller than their female counterparts, and they have wings, too, unlike the females.
These insects feed by sucking the sap from plants using their long, thin mouths. In California, these bugs are most commonly found on grapevines, but in other parts of the world, they are also known to infest fig, date plum, apple, or avocado trees.
Vine mealybugs live in large groups composed of adults, eggs, and nymphs and can reproduce very quickly. They can easily migrate to new plants, especially when the foliage is overlapping, and can spread viruses from plant to plant.
Vine mealybugs can cause a lot of disruption to the grape industry, as they leave deposits of honeydew on the plants, which promote the growth of black mold. As well as this, the vine mealybug can be found within grape bunches, making them unfit for consumption. In addition, because of their waxy bodies, these bugs are resistant to insecticides used to treat them, so parasitic control methods have been adopted.

The Art of Meditation: Does It Help?
The age-old art of meditation has helped a number of people conquer their problems. With the positive attitude and increased sensitivity meditators enjoy, you can expect a 360-degree life change.
From a boost in immune system to a greater control over self-deprecating thoughts, regular meditation has a plethora of benefits to offer.
Let’s see 5 of the most significant ones!
Decreased Beta Waves
Don’t know what beta waves are? No problem. Without going into the technicalities, beta waves form the information that’s processed by your brain. You might think, why decrease that?
There’s a sizable amount of information that’s nothing more than noise stopping you from concentrating on things that really matter.
A decrease in anxiety is a well-tested health benefit of regular meditation. This is in connection with low levels of beta waves. These waves do nothing but create a never-ending cycle of negative thoughts.
Meditation helps you to gain better control over the part of your brain that insists on worrying about that upcoming medical checkup or any other thing you’re needlessly anxious about.
Lowers Blood Pressure
Meditation benefits the cardiovascular system as well as the body’s immune functions. The compound nitric oxide facilitates blood flow in blood vessels, consequently lowering blood pressure.
A published study found that most of the subjects suffering from high blood pressure experienced significantly lower levels after they started a strict meditation regimen.
Helps Cultivate Compassion
According to a study, meditation can help you be more compassionate and empathetic to those around you. This sensitivity is highly important in the corporate world as well as in the personal sphere.
A more compassionate individual has the makings of being a better leader as well as a friend. Make it a goal to regularly practice meditation to observe this effect in your daily life.
As per the same study, those who meditated frequently not only enjoyed higher levels of compassion but also had improved rapid recall. This means that you just won’t remember things, you’ll remember them faster.
This isn’t the end of the list. Meditation is shown to reduce stress levels, enhance concentration and more.

Gives a leg up to disabled veterans.
"Quantum Leap Farm offers therapeutic and recreational horseback riding to mentally and physically challenged adults living at the VA medical center," said Charitable Service Trust Chairman Richard E. Marbes. "A limited number of traumatic brain-injured veterans participate in the program, and the grant will be used to increase and expand the program for veterans."
In the days of the Wild West, cowboys depended on their horses for their lives. Today, veterans at Quantum Leap Farm depend on horses to build better lives. They connect with the horses and are helped by the therapeutic benefits of what's called the "hippotherapy" program for traumatic brain-injured veterans. The therapy provides increased strength, posture, coordination, confidence, cognitive improvement, and great interaction in a social environment.
"The program has been so successful that the VA medical center's chief of recreation therapy is chomping at the bit to expand the program to include veterans with central nervous dysfunction", and cerebrovascular inpatients," said Marbes.
The program saddled up in 2000 to provide services to a limited number of veterans at no cost. The Trust grant will enable it to help some of the nearly 900 veterans who could be served in the program each year.
Other disabled veterans depend on Charitable Service Trust grants to support a roof over their heads, food on the table. and a trail to improving their lives.
A Trust grant of $40.000 is supporting the operations and food programs of the Veteran Hospice Homestead in Fitchburg, Mass.
"The Veteran Hospice Homestead is a specialized convalescent care program which includes a hospice to serve homeless veterans diagnosed with terminal illnesses who can no longer care for themselves," said Marbes. "It provides a mix of supportive services, including housing for homeless veterans, counseling, and assistance in obtaining medical services."
The Trust awarded a $36,250 grant to the St. Petersburg. Fla., VA Regional Office to furnish a new Career Resource Center to help disabled veterans find and maintain jobs. At the center, disabled veterans will have access to a Department of labor job bank to search for suitable employment.
A $30,000 Trust grant was awarded to Hospital Hospitality House of Richmond, Va., to provide lodging and support for veterans and their families facing a medical crisis. It is available to veterans receiving medical care or specialized treatment in eight local hospitals, including the Richmond VA Medical Center. It features a 121-room hotel and has served more than 69,000 individuals since it was established in 1994. Guests and patients who stay at the Hospital Hospitality House contribute $10 per night, based on their ability to pay.
VETSPACE, Inc., of Gainesville, Fla., received a $25.000 Trust grant to help provide food to homeless veterans living in transitional and permanent housing. Through VETSPACE homeless veterans receive housing, resources, and referrals necessary to get a job and to restore them to productive lives. It operates VET PORT, a permanent housing program allowing disabled veterans to live as independently as possible.
A Charitable Service Trust grant for $13,800 was awarded to the Department of Veterans Affairs in Dayton, Ohio, to help provide transportation, Clothing, emergency food, and other necessities to homeless veterans. The VA inpatient and outpatient homeless programs assist veterans in resuming productive lives by offering a variety of services to restore their health and to find a job.
A $10,000 Trust grant is helping to provide homemaker services for low-income elderly veterans who are in poor health and do not qualify for the services through other public programs. Wesley Community Services in Cincinnati, Ohio, helps provide the services that many seniors need in order to remain living at home. Meals, medical transportation, homemaker and house cleaning, and adult day care services are provided.
Two other homeless veterans programs received Trust grants to continue their programs. The Erie United Methodist Alliance in Erie, Pa., received $5,600 to expand its mental health, and drug and alcohol counseling services for homeless veterans. The funds will allow the Alliance to increase the hours for a certified counselor who provides individual and group sessions for homeless veterans recovering from post-traumatic stress disorder, social isolation, and substance abuse.
The Iowa Coalition for Housing and the Homeless in Des Moines, Iowa, received a $2,500 grant to provide food, clothing, health screening and medical and dental care to 300 veterans who participated in a local homeless veterans stand down.
"The DAV Charitable Service Trust's partnership with all these organizations ensures essential programs supporting our nation's disabled veterans will continue to perform their outstanding work," said Marbes. "We thank the generosity of those who annually contribute to the DAV Charitable Service Trust, which allows us to support many valuable and important initiatives that assist the men and women who have sacrificed for our nation."
Funds to support the Charitable Service Trust result from the generosity of donors through workplace campaigns like the Combined Federal Campaign, United Way, and other workplace giving programs across the country.

2nd Extreme Gun Control Measure in 2 Days.
Fairfax, VA – -(Ammoland.com)- For the second day in a row, the anti-gun leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives passed an extreme gun control measure designed to discourage law-abiding Americans from exercising a constitutional right.
Chris W. Cox, executive director of the National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action, released the following statement in reaction to H.R 1112, the so-called “Charleston Loophole” bill, passing the House by a vote of 228 to 198:
“The anti-gun politicians in the House of Representatives continue to employ the shameful tactic of exploiting tragedies to market gun control that won’t prevent criminals from committing murder. It’s a sham and the Charleston Loophole bill is the perfect example of their dishonesty. The assertion that a supposed 10-day delay would have prevented a crime that took place over 60 days after the initial delay is ridiculous.”
“This legislation would not have prevented the Charleston murders, and even worse, the legislation is so poorly drafted it would put law-abiding citizens who need a firearm for self-defense at risk by trapping them in an endless loop of delays. The NRA will continue to fight for the constitutional right of law-abiding Americans to defend themselves and their families without apology.”
Established in 1975, the Institute for Legislative Action (ILA) is the “lobbying” arm of the National Rifle Association of America. ILA is responsible for preserving the right of all law-abiding individuals in the legislative, political, and legal arenas, to purchase, possess and use firearms for legitimate purposes as guaranteed by the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

The 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 is one of America’s most capable trucks for many reasons. Here’s three of those reasons, straight from the reviewers at Cars.com.
Surprising Agility for a Beefy, Brawny Body
Trucks continue to take American consumers by storm, as sales continue to outpace any other kind of automobile. The top three best-selling vehicles so far this year are all pickup trucks. GMC’s answer to that buying trend is the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500. Cars.com recently reviewed the Sierra and found it to be a joy to drive. With powerful engines packed inside an unexpectedly able body, this year’s Sierra is a must-buy.
Monstrous V8 Engine Meets Tenacious 10-Speed Transmission
When it comes to power and performance, the 2019 Sierra 1500 has both in spades. An available 6.2-liter V-8 engine brings enormous strength to the Sierra to enable it to crush the competition. With 420 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, this pickup truck packs one hell of a punch. The new 10-speed automatic transmissions gives even greater control over all that bristling energy to create an awe-inspiring experience.
A Strong Standard Engine
The Sierra 1500’s beefy bigger V8 engine is a showstopper, but don’t discredit the engine’s little brother. The Standard 5.3-liter V8 engine still provides plenty of performance. At 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, this engine is smaller but still has quite the might. When you include the eight-speed automatic transmission, even the standard Sierra equipment can take on tons of trouble.
Cars.com found that while the 6.2-liter V8 pulled ahead when pulling a trailer or carrying a lot of cargo, the smaller standard engine still performed admirably. The car site noted that without luggage in the back or a trailer in tow, “telling the two engines apart was almost impossible.”
Full-Size Truck with Small-Size Agility
Pickup trucks aren’t known for being particularly quick and limber, especially as they grow larger. The 2019 Sierra 1500 seeks to break that trend, offering more precise and responsive control than the competition.
Cars.com praised the Sierra for being “easy to drive,” saying that the pickup truck “doesn’t feel ponderous.” They made note of the truck’s tighter steering compared to past models. Cars.com also noted that the inclusion of a Sport driving mode allowed for even more feedback for when making precision movements was necessary.
Ready to tame the beast within the 2019 GMC Sierra 1500? We welcome you to take a look at our lineup today at Diamond Buick GMC!

A sprinkler irrigation system is a type of irrigation in agriculture that works like normal rainfall. Water is flowed through pipes, mostly by pump, and then separated into tiny drops….
Snow makes the environment dreamy and lovely. Much snow brings happiness to itself, but at the same time, it increases the hard work of the individual. With snow, there are….


In a major boon to London’s agri-food sector, Maple Leaf Foods says it plans to construct a state-of-the-art 640,000 square-foot fresh poultry facility in the city’s southeast at a cost of $660 million.
Construction on the poultry-processing plant is set to begin in the spring on Wilton Grove Road at Highbury Avenue, with an opening date set for early-to-mid 2021, the company said in a statement.
When it opens, the facility will directly support more than 1,450 full- and part-time jobs — a number the company says it expects to grow as production volumes rise — and indirectly support a further 1,400 jobs.
Construction on the plant itself is set to generate 300 jobs, and the company said.
The project, coming at a total cost of around $660 million, is being funded largely by the company, with $34.5 million coming from the province, $20 million from the federal government, and $8 million from an AgriInnovate Fund loan.
Three ageing Maple Leaf plants across Ontario — in St. Marys, Toronto, and Brampton — will close and have their operations consolidated into the London facility, the company said. The St. Marys facility will shut down by late 2021, while the others will be closed by mid-to-late 2022.
“Maple Leaf will work with local communities and government to find alternate uses for the facilities when they eventually close,” the company said in a statement. Company officials said they planned to provide employees impacted with job opportunities at the new facility or other plants it operates, as well as services to help them eventually find new employment.
During a conference call with investors late Monday afternoon, Maple Leaf Foods President and CEO, Michael McCain, said the new facility would employ leading food and workplace safety standards, and use “improved process design and technologies” for stunning, chilling, slicing, and deboning.
“These are all proven technologies, globally, but this will be one of the first scale facilities in North America which brings them all together in one end-to-end plant,” he said, noting the controlled-atmosphere stunning process to be used at the facility is a more humane method to render birds fully unconscious.
“I think even calling it a ‘major announcement’ is an understatement,” said Mayor Matt Brown early Monday evening.
Years in the works, Brown said the deal involved all three levels of government working together in conjunction with the London Economic Development Corporation (LEDC) and Maple Leaf Foods, “to make sure this was the right fit.”
Brown said he looked forward to thanking the LEDC for their work during a formal announcement set for Tuesday morning, in addition to acknowledging the role city council played.
“Council had the vision to set aside significant amounts of dollars to ensure we had an industrial land use strategy in place where we had lands that were serviced and ready to go for massive investments like this one,” he said.
Maple Leaf Foods said the location was chosen for its close proximity to chicken farms, contract growers, and major transportation corridors, including Hwy. 401.
“When I think about the agri-food sector, I can’t think of an announcement that’s been this big in London, at least in recent history, and maybe in the history of London.”

The Radstock & Westfield Big Local community group have been taking action to help people respond to the challenges that Covid19 has created for our community.
As well as setting up and running a food delivery project ourselves, we’ve funded Sporting Family Change to deliver weekly food parcels to families in need.
The project ran for twelve weeks and our funding has provided 240 food parcels within Radstock and Westfield. Jilly Edwards reports from Sporting Family Change about the really difficult situation that some people are now finding themselves in: ”many people who were in work had their salaries paid at the end of March, but those who lost their jobs have received no income at the end of April so more families are in need”. Jilly anticipates that demand for the service they are providing will continue to grow as more people become worse off.
We’ve learnt about someone who’s story is likely similar to so many. He’s a single dad, living with his sons, who was employed but lost his job when the coronavirus pandemic started. He has underlying health conditions and so has had to self-isolate and can’t go out to get food for his children. The support that this food parcel project has given him has had a really big impact… he said “thank you… for helping with delivering food. It has literally been a lifeline! You all are so amazing and I mean that from my heart and soul. Thank you so much.”
We really appreciate the work that Sporting Family Change have been doing with the community over the years to enable families to develop healthy lifestyles that are great for body and mind… and now they have adapted what they’re doing in order to respond to a really immediate crisis for some people in our community. Well done and many thanks to them!
Sporting Family Change have now been able to receive more funds from the National Lottery to continue this work!
As you can see, by supporting the community and community organisations we can all make a massive difference to the lives of the people around us – our neighbours, our family, friends and fellow human beings.

Hansi Flick has insisted he is the right man to lead the German men’s national team, after a humiliating 4-1 friendly loss to Japan.
Two late goals from Takuma Asano and Ao Tanaka wrapped up a comprehensive Japan win, Germany’s third straight defeat and their fourth in five matches. It’s an extremely poor record as the country prepare to host Euro 2024 in just nine months’ time, but boss Hansi Flick was full of fighting spirit when talking to reporters in his post-match interview.
We and the coaching staff are trying everything,” said Flick, according to Bulinews. “I think we are doing well and I am the right coach.” Expanding on the performance against Japan, he added: “We are really disappointed. Japan is a good team. We don’t have the tools right now to beat a defence like that. We in German football have to wake up. Now we have to shake ourselves up and do better against France.
Get Instantly Update By: Joining Our Whatapps and Telegram Channel
It’s a worrying time for Flick’s side, as his acknowledgment of the team’s current state suggests. As the host nation, Germany will be desperate to enter Euro 2024 in good form, and the safety of Flick’s job is looking increasingly insecure. If things don’t pick up soon, it wouldn’t be a huge surprise to see the former Bayern boss axed before the start of the tournament.

Before I get started on this latest album anniversary or “music milestone” as we’ve been apt to refer to them, I must admit that way back in the days of 1988, I was NOT listening to the band Blind Guardian at all and the same applies for a lot of bands from this region of the world. We are still going to raise a goblet of our favorite drink in honor of the birthday of their debut album “Battalions Of Fear” which came out care of No Remorse Records on this very day thirty years ago. Fans of Blind Guardian who might have come on board over the last dozen years or so ago love them for the polished and exciting Power Metal that they are true masters of. Given my lack of overall background on the debut itself, I’ll be deferring readers to the official Wikipedia entry at the close
Having referenced the bands acumen as Power Metal leaders, it might surprise some of you to learn that this was not at all how the band started out. When you begin to give a listen to “Battalions Of Fear” you find instead a fast-paced, more Speed Metal meets Thrash Metal type of release. In 1988 I can honestly say that Blind Guardian had more in common with the likes of Metallica and Exodus or even Anvil in terms of how the drumming and frenzied riffs were being laid down. It was interesting to me for sure because in 1988 I was really focused on more of the US Metal, even though I did have a few bands from that side of the pond that I enjoyed quite a bit. “Majesty” rips you a new one while “Guardian Of The Blind” has some awesome layers to it and drumming that made me bang my head while I was composing this toast. Believe me that is not easy to do when you are trying to type. “Trial By The Archon” reminded me a lot of the vibe that early Iron Maiden had to them and perhaps this short instrumental number was designed to be an homage of the Brits. “Wizard’s Crown” continues the same vibe and there is a strong cohesion to the full release. The members of the band for the debut are of course singer Hansi Kursch who was also on bass at the time. Andre Olbrich was on lead guitar and Marcus Siepen on rhythm while Thomas “Thomen” Stauch played drums Continue reading Blind Guardian’s Debut “Battalions Of Fear” Hits 30 Years (1988-2018)→
Returning to the same exact venue for their second leg of the tour its Blind Guardian and Grave Digger. If you missed this one the last time you have one more chance to make it right with what is going to go down as a truly historic Metal night.
Hey there readers, it looks like the tour dates and bands that are coming our way here in the states are really amping up before the summer even begins. I say that because we just received the press email about the return of Blind Guardian and Grave Digger which is absolutely awesome. We caught them late last year and it was a crushing display of Power Metal that needs to be seen to be believed. Take a look at the new poster and the press copy, tour dates and then I will return with more thoughts. See you soon.
The Press Release:

Check out the poster and official press release about the tour below and then we can discuss a little more.

The Xbox game console series is among the best gaming consoles available today. You might know that already, but did you know that one of the reasons for its popularity is its feature, game sharing? Well, don’t worry if you’re unsure what “game sharing” is! We’re going to talk all about what you should know and how to Game Share Xbox games with your family and friends!
Let’s get into it!
Photo Credits to Xbox.com
Before proceeding, you might be wondering what Xbox Game Sharing is. Well, Xbox has a feature called Game Share that allows you to share any digital content, including games, with your friends and family. This feature allows users to share and play games by allowing two individuals access to each other’s game libraries and even their Xbox Live Gold subscriptions, Game Pass memberships, and many more. It essentially provides users with privileges with just a single purchase. This feature can save you tons of money. But of course, Game Share also has a few limitations, like the fact that the person who purchased the game still owns it, so they can easily remove access.
Now that you know what Game Share is, let’s talk about how you can set up Game Share on your Xbox One and/or Xbox X/S Series.
Now that you know what “game sharing” is, we’re going to tell you how you can start sharing your games.
- The first step is to turn on your Xbox console and sign in to your Xbox Live account where you will be sharing the games.
- Next, press the Xbox guide button on your controller and scroll to the right-hand side of the menu screen where the Profile & System page is located, and select “Add or Switch.”
- After, select “Add new” and enter the email address and password of the account that has the games you want to share. When you are now logged into the Xbox Live account, you can now go ahead to the next step.
- Next, click on the Xbox guide button again and go back to Profile & System then select “Settings.”
- Once you’re on the settings page, select “General” on the left-hand side of the screen and select “Personalization,” then select “My home Xbox.”
- From this page, select “Make this my home Xbox” to make your console the home Xbox of your family or friends’ profile so they can access your games, your Xbox Live Gold Subscription, Game Pass Membership, etc.
- To confirm, simply select “Make this my home Xbox.”
- After confirming, all you have to do now is to install the games you want to share on “My games and apps” to your console. Now, when your Game Share partner signs in to your console, they will be able to play the games you’ve installed.
After doing the steps, ask your Game Share partner whether they’re able to access your games from your library.
Important: Remember that you only have a limit of five times a year to change your home Xbox settings, so keep in mind how many times you’ve already changed them.
Now that you know how to Game Share, there are a few things you must remember.
- You must know that the game sharing feature is only limited to two individuals at a time. There is no way to add another user to the circle of game sharing unless you stop game sharing with the original person you were game sharing with. However, there is a plan that can allow up to 5 people to Game Share, which is the Xbox Game Pass Friends & Family. But it’s currently only available in select countries.
- The next thing you should know is that Game Share only works with digital copies of the game. You can’t Game Share with physical game copies since they can only be used with one Xbox console at a time.
- Take note that game sharing also has offline limitations. You cannot play your digital games offline if your console is not the home Xbox anymore. That implies that in order to access them, you must always be connected to your internet.
- The last thing you must keep in mind before you use the Game Share feature is to only Game Share with individuals you trust since you will be sharing your account information that may contain sensitive information.
As we’ve mentioned, to Game Share, you will have to share your account information, as will the other individual. Other than the account sharing, when you Game Share with someone, you will have access to their:
- Xbox Live Gold Membership,
- The entire game library that they have purchased from the Microsoft Store, as well as other titles from different subscription services,
- Their Game Pass subscription, and even
- Their DLCs, special edition game content, and pre-order bonuses.
You just need to designate the console you’re currently using as your Home console if you ever want to restrict someone from playing your games. Their console will still have your games installed on it, but they won’t be able to play them anymore.
Game sharing across different gaming platforms, like PS4 and Xbox, is currently unavailable. You must have the same gaming console as the one you’re game sharing with.
Currently, you can only Game Share with one person at a time. But you can change your Game Share partner up to five times in one year. Since you’re only able to change your Game Share partner five times in one year, be sure that you use those well to ensure that you’re able to make use of the Game Share feature to its full capacity. Also, be very sure of who you’re game sharing with since you’ll be sharing private information with each other.
Being one of the most popular gaming consoles on the market, you should definitely know how to utilize all of its amazing features, like Game Share. This Game Share feature lets you save a lot of money, legally. So, use this feature to your advantage, have fun, and save money!
That’s a wrap! We hope this article helped you!

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Clarksville Crime Stoppers, a cooperative program that involves citizens, media and police agencies in the fight against crime, has installed the first of five information kiosks to aid the organization’s outreach to the community.
A first unit of the Community Pro-Tektor Kiosk Information System was installed Friday at the Transit Center on Legion Street. The colorful kiosk is about six-feet high and two feet wide. Its computer-enabled screen presents a variety of crime-fighting messages, ranging from real-time community alerts and warnings, to notifications about criminal suspects who are wanted by law enforcement.
The system also offers a QR code, which allows citizens to use smartphones to access the Crime Stoppers online tip form and report crime-fighting information to police. Crime Stoppers provides citizens with a vehicle to anonymously supply the police with information about a crime or potential crime of which they have knowledge.
Tips that lead to the arrest of suspects, as well as the recovery of stolen property and drugs are eligible for cash rewards of up to $1,000, which are paid to tipsters anonymously by Crime Stoppers.
Bill Summers, Crime Stoppers president and a former City Councilman, said that more kiosks would be installed at the County Courts Center, the student center on the Austin Peay State University campus and at the Walmarts on Fort Campbell Boulevard and on Wilma Rudolph Boulevard.
“This is a sophisticated system that will be managed by our Crime Stoppers Technology Committee and our law enforcement partners at CPD, the sheriff’s department and at APSU,” Summers said. “This will allow us to quickly share a variety of alerts and messages with the public on public safety topics, while also asking the public to submit tips that can help police solve local crimes.”
Paul Nelson, director of Clarksville Transit, said he was happy to have the kiosk at the Transit Center.
“They approached us because of the high-traffic nature of the center, and because we have the right amount of space,” Nelson said. “The kiosk offers a lot of information that is continuously updated, so I think it will be popular.”
Deanna McLaughlin, Crime Stoppers treasurer and also a former City Councilwoman, said the organization was investing $24,665 in the Community Pro-Tektor Kiosk System,which includes the five kiosks at a cost of about $3,900 each, the service agreement and data charges.
Clarksville Crime Stoppers has installed its first information kiosks at the Transit Center on Legion Street to aid the organization’s outreach to the community. The group plans to add more kiosks at the County Courts Center, at APSU and at two Walmarts. Joining in the unveiling of the kiosk, from left, are Crime Stoppers Treasurer Deanna McLaughlin, CPD Officer Roger Carroll, Crime Stoppers President Bill Summers, Mayor Joe Pitts and CTS Director Paul Nelson.


Just saw a session of Barrett-Jackson, and a dealer installed 428CJ 68 Mustang GT 4-spd just went for 500K; 25k more than a hemi powered cuda. This car was made by certain Ford dealerships I guess as a dealer installed option or upgrade. Obviously very rare. I never thought I would see a hemi get shown up like that. I was astounded. I couldn't wait to get on the forum and tell.

In continuation of our “Are hospitals clean?” series, this post explores new cleaning technologies that are helping hospitals stay cleaner, longer. These methods will help reduce the number of patients with healthcare associated infections (HAIs). The number of HAIs has significantly reduced over the years. We can win this infectious battle against bacteria and viruses with new cleaning technology.
One new disinfectant is showing promising results, and involves passing an electric current through a water and salt solution. That sounds so simple! In one study, the electrified water reduced bacteria on surfaces more than ammonium disinfectants. Another study showed that the solution notably decreased aerobic bacteria and MSRA when sprayed on hospital surfaces. Staff using this solution only have to spray it onto the surface – no wiping required! This is an easy and cheap way to keep surfaces clean and patients safe.
Cold Air Plasma
Wow, cold air plasma sounds cool, but what is it? Plasma is created when an electric field is applied to electrodes, plasma forms. When the plasma encounters the oxygen molecules, they become reactive. These reactive oxygen molecules destroy bacteria and viruses on contact. This means that cold air plasma systems create bacteria and virus free air. It has shown to dramatically reduce the amount of Staphylococcus Aureaus, which is bacteria that can cause severe skin rashes and is highly contagious. Salmonella, E-coli, and Candida Albicans, as well as other dangerous bacteria strains, are also destroyed by this process. Imagine all hospitals having these systems. The reduction of HAIs would be massive and impactful.
There are other new liquid disinfectant solutions that are making waves in hospitals. Hydrogen peroxide cleaners are improving to reduce bacteria levels. In fact, one study shows that these solutions actually reduced the number of HAIs compared to an existing product that was used often. The new hydrogen peroxide solutions also fight norovirus surrogate viruses.
Another new liquid disinfectant is made from peracetic acid and hydrogen peroxide. This cleaner also shows promising results when it comes to reducing bacteria on surfaces. It even works better than a common ammonium cleaner widely used.
Hospitals, Get the New Tech!
A combination of some or all of these new cleaning technologies will certainly bring down the number of patients with HAIs in medical facilities. The cost of it all is the main concern. Many hospitals use a professional cleaning service to disinfect their facilities. However, the more experienced a company is at cleaning hospitals, the more it costs. Cleaning can cost $25-$75 an hour for labor, maybe even more! This estimate is not even including the cleaning supplies, which add more to the overall cost. Hospitals should adopt more efficient cleaning practices. It is a high cost at first, but over time it will be worth it.

@ Saint Sava
Consecrated in 1865 and designed by Richard Upjohn, it was acquired by the Serbian Orthodox church in 1943. The church is noted for its beautiful stone interior and for its lofty single aisle nave. It was added to the list of historic places in 1982.
This was my 2nd time attending the service, the 1st being with Ivana Mikavica. Listening to the liturgy in their native language really gives a great spiritual feel,
and almost makes it feel as if your not in NYC, but in Serbia. Along with the friendly people who make up the congregation, the food at the after event is wonderful. If you have time, stop by for a little bit of Serbia in New York City.
If you would like to know more go to, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Orthodox_Church, or: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Sava "Art is the reason, art is the way".

Tonight’s ESPN card, for which we’ll have live coverage at 9 pm ET, has taken some hits, and it’s a tough sell to get people to tune in for this one.
The original main event was to see Jamel Herring defend the WBO 130-pound title against Jonathan Oquendo, which had been postponed from July 2 when Herring tested positive for coronavirus. Unfortunately, Herring had another positive test on Monday, which scrapped that fight.
But the show goes on, because there are eight other fighters still signed up to fight, still wanting to make some money, still wanting to get in the ring, still having trained for this night, still having made weight and all that on Monday.
Probably the same 300,000 are going to tune in pretty much no matter what, but here are some reasons to check in this evening, if you need some.
Mikaela Mayer is now in the main event slot, having been out from a coronavirus positive of her own about five weeks ago. Mayer (12-0, 5 KO) just turned 30 less than two weeks ago (10 days to be exact), and is an emerging title threat at 130 pounds as women’s boxing continues its evolution with more and more quality talents. Mayer is one of those talents, an ex-Olympian with an intriguing background story that you’ll surely hear some about this evening, probably thanks to Essayist Mark Kriegel.
Mayer has already started calling for a shot at WBC titleholder Terri Harper, another rising star in women’s boxing. But to get to that, she has to keep winning. Tonight, she faces Helen Joseph (17-4-2, 10 KO), a 31-year-old Nigerian fighter now based in Connecticut. Joseph last fought in November, losing a decision to Delfine Persoon in Belgium, and also fought for a vacant featherweight title back in 2015, losing a decision to Jennifer Han. Joseph is the most tested pro that Mayer has faced to date.
Emerging folk hero and diehard favorite Clay Collard is also back this evening. The former UFC fighter is basically in a co-feature role for his six round bout with LT Nelson (5-3, 4 KO), a 30-year-old Colorado club fighter. The good news about Collard (7-2-3, 2 KO) is he’s always scrappy, always rugged, always brings the fight. He can’t be dull, and he’s made a mark for himself with the hardcore fans this year with two straight upsets over teenage prospects Raymond Guajardo and David Kaminsky. Both fights were slugfests, and Collard out-slugged the more gifted opponents.
Javier Martinez, pictured up top, is making his pro debut. He signed with Top Rank last month, and now the 24-year-old southpaw middleweight from Milwaukee will look to bring his game to the paid ranks. He was a good amateur, a domestic standout for the U.S., and this could be the start of a nice pro run for him. Worth taking a first look at a new talent.
The fourth fight has Ruben Cervera (11-2, 10 KO) taking on Clay Burns (9-8-2, 4 KO) in a lightweight bout. Not going to sugarcoat it: this fight means very little in the grand scheme of things and doesn’t have a ton to offer. BUT! Cervera can punch a little, even if he’s been exposed badly in his losses to Ruben Villa and Miguel Marriaga, and Burns is another scrappy fighter named Clay, and his nickname is “Third Degree,” so that’s fun. Burns just had an entertaining ESPN fight on June 25 against Reymond Yanong, losing a six-round split decision at welterweight.
Hey, maybe I can’t convince you to tune in for this one. Again, I get it’s a fairly hard sell, harder even than the rest of these shows, which haven’t had any buzz or much public interest. But if you’re someone who usually would watch and are considering passing tonight, maybe there’s a reason here for you to watch. I hope so. If you do, join us for live discussion!


It seems someone is producing a banned ozone-depleting chemical again.
Alarming findings published in the journal Nature seem set to trigger a global hunt for a hidden production plant that appears to be pumping out truly massive amounts of a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) that was supposedly phased out completely in an effort to protect the Earth’s ozone layer.
Stephen Montzka from the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and a team of colleagues report that after a long and predicted decline, production of trichlorofluoromethane (CFC-11) – a substance responsible for the second largest destructive impact on the ozone layer – suddenly and mysteriously increased in 2012 and has continued to do so ever since.
The researchers show that CFC-11 levels, measured at a number of remote monitoring sites around the world, decreased in line with expectations between 2002 and 2011. In 2012, however, the rate of decline suddenly reduced by about 50% – indicating that new source of production had started up.
The standard reference for CFC concentrations, the United Nations Environment Program’s Handbook for the Montreal Protocol, reported in its 2012 edition that production of CFC-11 was very close to zero.
This, suggests Montzka’s team, leads to a disturbing conclusion.
“The increase in emission of CFC-11 appears unrelated to past production,” the authors note. “This suggests unreported new production.”
And it seems to be new production on a huge scale. The researchers’ modelling indicates that since 2012 CFC-11 pumped into the atmosphere has increased by 13 gigagrams – 13,000 tonnes – per year.
“This is the first time that emissions of one of the three most abundant, long-lived CFCs have increased for a sustained period since production controls took effect in the late 1980s,” they note.
Given that the boost in output will inevitably slow the planet’s ozone layer recovery, discovering the source of the new production would seem an urgent priority.
Each edition of the UN’s Handbook for the Montreal Protocol contains on its cover the sentence, The first treaty ever to achieve universal participation. If the findings of Montzka’s stand up to scrutiny, that boast may now turn out to be hollow.

Message painted on cut-in-the-hill tells truckers to move over
A new painting getting attention around town won’t win any art awards, but many are hoping people will pay attention to the message.
The painting can be seen in the two fast lanes of I-71/75 southbound at the cut-in-the-hill and reads, “No trucks this lane.”
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet ordered the message to be written in the left two lanes.
“We get lots of complaints about trucks in the fast lanes,” said Kentucky Transportation spokeswoman Nancy Wood.
“I’m on that hill twice a day, six days a week. More truckers are in the passing lane than should be. It’s ridiculous,” said Ty Cornett.
Trucks have been banned from the left two lanes for years. There have been road signs along that part of the interstate, but the message painted on the surface of the road went in this month. “I think it’s a great idea, but I just don’t know that they’re going to listen,” said one driver.
“I laughed at it when I first saw it, like, ‘Oh yeah, that’s gonna work,’” Cornett said.
Kentucky State Police have been monitoring the area, but a spokesman said writing tickets hasn’t been effective in keeping trucks out of the fast lanes.
“Unfortunately, when we’re up there, we may get one or two in the very beginning then they’re communicating on their CBs and no longer riding those two lanes,” said KSP spokesman Trooper Charles Loudermilk.
Truckers said it’s not as easy as it might seem to be in the proper lanes.
Trucks coming from I-71 merge into I-75 just before the cut-in-the-hill southbound, so they are already in the fast lane and have less than a mile to get over.
“Trying to get the trucks over to the right, most cars won’t give us the time of day, they won’t back off a little bit,” said trucker Jerry Knowles.
The Kentucky Transportation Department plans to put another set of the paintings on the road just south of the first ones.


The 2′x4′ Kikori is out!
The MDO parts are available now for just $400, but hurry; I’m only offering five at that reward level. After that, they’ll go up to $500.
The reason they aren’t cheaper is because only nine pieces actually change between the 4′ version and the 2′ version. However, this also means that the 2′x4′ Kikori gantry has the ability to upgrade itself by making only nine new pieces!
I’m also offering the mechanical and full kits at reduced reward levels: for the first three backers the mechanical kit is only $2000, and the full kit just $2500!
In other news, since the Artisan’s Asylum is going to be moving to a new location, it’ll be closed during the month of August. This means that even if I got the Kikori set up there for July, I’d have to turn right back around and tear it down again, and then have no place to work for an entire month. As you can imagine, I was not happy about this prospect, so I got to work finding some place to work.
I remembered that Joseph Schlesinger, one of the guys who helped me build the the blackFoot at the Asylum, had just moved MakeIt Labs (a “Makerspace/Hackerspace/Open-Access Workshop”) into a new space up in Nashua, so I shot him an email asking if I could set up the Kikori there. Sure enough, a few emails later and he’d talked his board into letting me set up shop there for a couple months! This means I’ll be able to get rewards out for the Kickstarter project much sooner.
I’ve also been hard at work finishing up another reward: the launcher!
While it’s designed to launch tennis balls, it’ll launch pretty much anything under 4″ in diameter: water balloons, snow balls, confetti… It’s designed to be adjustable, so you can alter its strength without swapping out the elastic.
I can imagine all sorts of uses for this, from playing fetch with your dog to ambushing your friends with blasts of glitter. However, I know I’ve just barely scratched the surface. What would you use something like this for?

6 May 2014
In a recent speec h in Bath, England, Lord Nigel Lawson delivered a logical, almost spell-binding lecture on global warming alarmism, in whIch he said early: " ...at bottom this is not a scientific issue. That is to say, the issue is not climate change but climate change alarmism, and the hugely damaging policies that are advocated, and in some cases put in place, in its name. And alarmism is a feature not of the physical world, which is what climate scientists study, but of human behaviour; the province, in other words, of economists, historians, sociologists, psychologists and — dare I say it — politicians." The speech is a must read for anyone with an interest in the topic.

January is almost over so I think it is already a good time to post a slightly indulgent recipe. I love a good cookie and these have to be one of my favourites. The older I have got the more I prefer darker, less sweet chocolate and whoever decided salt and chocolate work so well together should be applauded. These cookies turn out crisp around the edges, soft in the middle and have a delicious mix of salted chocolate and creamy macadamia nuts. Best of all they are incredibly easy to make. Don’t be put off by the coconut oil if you hate the taste of coconut, you will hardly notice it once the cookies are baked. Finally if you don’t have macadamia nuts to hand, feel free to swap them for another nut like peanuts, or Brazil nuts. Alternatively, if you are allergic to nuts, simply replace them with more chocolate, for an extra chocolatey cookie.
Salted Chocolate and Macadamia Cookies – makes around 20 cookies
125 g cold coconut oil
150 g sugar
100 g dark muscavdo sugar
125ml coconut milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
100g vegan chocolate, chopped into chunks
100 g macadamia nuts, roughly chopped
flaked sea salt
Add the coconut oil and sugars into a large bowl and whisk until fully combined. Add the coconut milk and vanilla and lightly whisk, before adding the flour, baking powder, bicarb and a good pinch of flaky sea salt. Use a wooden spoon to stir the mix until forms a thick batter.
Fold through the chocolate chips and macadamia nuts and chill the batter for at least 1 hour.
Heat your oven to 180 c. Line a couple of baking sheets with baking parchment, then use your hands or a spoon to roll out plum-sized balls of the dough. Space them onto the baking tray, leaving a gap around them as they will spread out a little. Flatten the dough balls a little and sprinkle with a bit more flaky salt.
Bake in the oven for 12 to 15 mins or until the cookies have spread a little and are golden but they should still be soft in the middle.
Leave to cool before devouring!
