You’ve been working on your board game for years. Or perhaps you’ve created a new, fantastic technological wonder and you just need a little bit of funding to make it a reality. No matter what you’ve done, you put your heart into it. You’ve designed it, tested it, gone to all the conventions, built up a mailing list, and everything else. Kickstarter is your destiny! Then someone asks you, oh-so-bluntly, “is your Kickstarter going to take care of customs & VAT?”
Well, there go your dreams. The cabin’s depressurizing. We’re losing altitude.
Not so fast!
Customs & VAT may seem very complicated, and yes, we won’t lie to you – they are. But with a little bit of planning, you can handle your Kickstarter backers’ customs with ease. In this article, we will discuss three ways you can do so.
Please note: we are writing this article assuming that you’re doing business in the US. If you’re not, though, most of the advice in this article still applies.
How Customs & VAT Work
Before we dive headfirst into the three strategies you can use to handle Kickstarter customs, let’s talk about how customs & VAT work. In our article Customs Duty De Minimis: Important Info for International Shipping, we state that “the whole idea behind customs is to allow different countries to control the flow of goods in and out of their borders. They want to incentivize some kinds of trade and disincentivize other kinds of trade. And, of course, we all know what plain old taxes are for.”
Customs duties are taxies imposed on goods when they are transported across international borders. These taxes are based on tariff codes, which correspond to the type of item being exported or imported. VAT, or value-added tax, is a tax that countries applied based on a percentage of the item’s sale price.
To simplify: many times, when your Kickstarter backer in a foreign country imports your item, someone will have to pay for customs duties and/or VAT.
Now customs and VAT don’t apply to everything. Many countries do not have VAT at all, so that often does not apply. Customs duties only apply if the imported good’s value exceeds the importing country’s “customs de minimis value.” (A similar principle applies to VAT). In the USA, an item imported from a country with a value of less than $800 USD is duty-free. Beyond that, pay up!
Lastly, you might be saying “how do tax authorities know what an item is worth?” Simply put, you – the sender – tell them. The value you tell them is the declared value. Here’s a video showing you how to choose a declared value. (Don’t lowball this!)
Still confused? Read a more detailed version of this explanation in this post: Customs Duty De Minimis: Important Info for International Shipping.
Method #1: Your Customers Pay for Customs & VAT
Now that I’ve given you a pounding migraine by explaining international tax law, let’s talk about how you can handle customs during your Kickstarter campaign. The first method is a deceptively simple one. Do nothing.
Seriously. Kickstarter creators are not obligated to go out of their way to ensure that backers don’t pay customs. In fact, if your item is really low in value, it may fall under the customs de minimis of most countries, making it not worthwhile to try to create a “customs-friendly” campaign. What’s more, many international backers are accustomed to paying for customs and VAT for Kickstarter campaigns that they receive.
The benefit of this method is clear: it’s very easy. There are many drawbacks, however. You will likely have fewer international backers. International backers you do have may not be expecting a customs bill, making them mad at you. As a result, you could have ongoing customer service issues as well as decreased customer retention.
In many ways, you can consider this the default option. Even Kickstarter itself does not require Kickstarter creators to specify how customs will be handled. They merely recommend it.
Method #2: Split Your Inventory Between Countries & Manage Multiple Warehouses
“Customs-friendly” is a phrase you will see a lot of on Kickstarter if you look. You can often find variants of it such as “EU-friendly,” “UK-friendly,” “Canada-friendly,” and “Australia-friendly.” This is generally understood to mean one of the following:
- Goods are shipped from within a country or region, avoiding import fees and taxes.
- Goods are below the customs de minimis value.
- The import fees are handled on behalf of the backer. (This is a definition we have added on our own, based on our understanding of backers’ underlying needs.)
So with this in mind, it makes sense that if your Kickstarter rewards exceed the customs and/or VAT de minimis values of the countries you plan to ship to, that you must split your inventory between warehouses in different regions in the world. Many board game Kickstarters, for example, have a warehouse in the US, one in the EU, one in Australia, one in Canada, and so on.
This approach has a number of benefits. Backers receive their rewards pretty quickly after shipping since the warehouse is in their country. What’s more, they never see Kickstarter-related customs or VAT fees. Seems like an all-around win!
But this is not always the best way to handle Kickstarter customs
This is an appropriate approach for many campaigns, particularly very large ones. However, splitting your inventory between different warehouses has a lot of problems.
- You have to coordinate multiple freight shipments to different warehouses in different countries, which can become complex. For smaller campaigns, this can be prohibitively expensive.
- When each of those freight shipments docks, you have to pay customs. Granted, the customs fees will be levied on the wholesale value of the goods and not the retail value, but this can still add up depending on how many countries you ship to.
- It’s complex. The more warehouses you’re working with, the more room there is for errors, customer service issues, delays, and unexpected bills.
Method #3: Consolidate Your Inventory in One Warehouse & Pay for Kickstarter Customs & VAT
There is one last way you can handle customs & VAT for your Kickstarter campaign. It’s tempting to think that if you are unable to split your inventory between different warehouses, that you are out of luck when it comes to customs & VAT. You may think that you have to default to Method #1.
We’re here to tell you that there is a viable middle ground. You can house your inventory in the US, ship internationally, and avoid having your backers pay customs & VAT. The trick is that you must use “delivery duty paid” shipping. (Incidentally, we offer this through Fulfillrite via Asendia).
The benefits of this method are clear: freight and warehousing is not overly complicated. All of your items can be stored in a single warehouse, yet you still have the ability to ship internationally without leaving customers with nasty customs surprises. This is done by paying the customs & VAT on their behalf through delivery duty paid shipping.
Now this method isn’t perfect. Paying customs fees, as well as international shipping, can be expensive. The shipping can also be a little bit on the slow side, too, but this is less of an issue with Kickstarter than it is with eCommerce. However, even with this in mind, costs are likely to be lower using this method since Method #2 comes with the baggage of splitting a freight shipment an incurring greater transportation costs.
Final Thoughts on How Your Kickstarter Campaign Can Handle Customs & VAT
Handling customs & VAT for your Kickstarter campaign is easier than it ever has been before. For most small to medium size Kickstarters, we consider Method #3 to be best practice. Method #1 is ideal for very small campaigns or Kickstarters that sell inexpensive items (e.g. $15 or less). Finally, Method #2 is ideal for very large Kickstarter campaigns.
No matter what you decide to do for your campaign, though, you can rest easy knowing that you have multiple options for handling international shipping and the fees that come with it.
You’ve done everything by the book. Your Kickstarter campaign is almost ready to launch.
You made a great product. Built an audience. Set up a campaign page.
But how do you ship it?
We put this checklist together to help you get started. It's free.

McFadden 52nd Fighter Wing Public Affairs CAMPIA TURZII, Romania -- Thousands of Romanian and European spectators marveled at aerial acrobatics in the skies and combat capability displays on the ground during the Romanian air force 71st Air Base's airshow and open house at Campia Turzii, Romania, July 23, 2016. The aviation demonstration took place during the middle of the U.S. Air Force 194th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron's six-month long theater security package deployment to Europe in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve, which aims to bolster the U.S.'s continued commitment to the collective security of NATO and dedication to the enduring peace and stability in the region. The unit, comprised of more than 200 California Air National Guard Airmen from the 144th Fighter Wing at Fresno ANG Base, California, as well as U.S. Air Force Airmen from the 52nd Fighter Wing at Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany, piloted, maintained and supported the deployment of 12 F-15C Eagle fighter aircraft throughout nations like Romania, Iceland, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Estonia and among others. The F-15Cs took to the skies alongside the 71st AB's MiG-21 fighter aircraft and Puma helicopters for both the airshow, the second engagement of its kind at Campia Turzii under Operation Atlantic Resolve, and the bilateral flight training, also known as Dacian Eagle 2016.

HAPPENING NOW (9.26.14): And in an instance, mayhem. The police attacked protesters without warning or clear provocation, mind you, WHILE the police chief was out chatting/marching with them. More to come tonight. Stay woke. #farfromover (PT I) (PT II)
So while the Chief was PR stuntin, one of his officers decided to charge through the crowd and INCITE A MELEE. I repeat, the officers got physical with protesters, and in the ensuing mayhem, used it as an excuse to whoop on some of the protesters. THERE IS VIDEO! CNN is already misreporting it as an attack on the chief. Do not let them spread that lie. These pigs have no regard, respect, or consideration for the protesters, peaceful or otherwise. #staywoke #farfromover
So I *strongly* disagree with this post calling police pigs, and I don’t think that’s helpful at all. The rest of this post, though, needs to be seen.

Every week we treat ourselves on Friday, and if there are no other plans, our dinner at home is a succulent turkey and cheese thigh sandwich. Sometimes I make variants, so as not to always take it from the same ingredients, and this arugula and bacon sandwich is one of them.
As you will see the recipe has no complications, and the good thing about these preparations is that they allow multiple changes and combinations, although I recommend that at least once you try this as I do. It is common at home that using ingredients that are in the fridge, are obtained very successful combinations of flavors, How is it going.Live to the Palate Asparagus and quail eggs salad. Recipe
IngredientsFor 1 person
- Loaf of sliced loaf 2
- Sliced Bacon 3
- Cherry tomato 3
How to make arugula and bacon sandwichDifficulty: Easy
- Total time 15 m
- Elaboration 10 m
- 5 m cooking
Toast the bread slices in the toaster or iron. If we do it on an iron, it is convenient to spread them with a little butter so that they do not burn, since this gesture also gives the bread toast an extra rich flavor.
We spread one of the faces of one of the slices with mayonnaise to taste, although I like to put a thin layer. On this we place the arugula washed and very dry, and on top the cherry tomatoes clean and thinly sliced with some salt sands.
Apart we cut the slices of bacon in half and we do on the iron, over high heat, until golden brown on both sides. We place immediately on the tomatoes, cover with the other slice of bread and serve immediately.
With what to accompany the arugula and bacon sandwich
This arugula and bacon sandwich, like almost everyone, it admits variations. We can change the mayonnaise sauce for another that we like more, and the arugula and the bacon, for canons, lettuce mix and grilled chicken, or any turkey sausage, for example.

Jan 18, 2012, 2:26 PM
crime management unit under the Gambia Police Force and the Gambia Armed and
Security Force are determined to unearth the alleged atrocities committed by
Yahya Jammeh’s regime.
This was made known in a press briefing held at the police headquarters in Banjul yesterday.
The briefing by both stakeholders was actually held to tell the public the progress made so far in responding to cases of disappearance and death of Gambians including other atrocities allegedly committed by Yahya Jammeh and his regime.
Speaking at the briefing, Commissioner Babucarr Sarr, crime management coordinator at the Gambia Police Force, said they have 33 case files from 33 complainants that have been compiled and are currently under investigation.
They have got a lead on 7 cases, he said, adding that they have 10 suspects under their custody helping them in their investigations.
He said the 7 cases involve people who were present during the commissioning of these crimes.
They are also investigating to see if they will have information from other sources, he added, saying they have exhumed three bodies and are hoping to identify others in the near future.
Commissioner Sarr said some of the suspects are jungulars, and jungulars are not civilians but members of the armed forces; so they are detained under the armed forces act.
They are on the move to get pathologists, he disclosed, saying they have the Coroners Act in The Gambia and anything they do is in line with the country’s coroners’ act. “At the police the coroners have the final say in such situations of atrocities involving disappearances and deaths,” he said.
GAF PRO Lt Colonel Omar Bojang, in his remarks, said that with regard to the jungulars at large, they have an ongoing investigation and members of the armed and security services will do everything to unearth the atrocities allegedly committed by the former regime.
In order not to jeopardize the ongoing investigations they would not reveal everything about their plans to unearth the facts to the media.
“When they are done we will call the media to brief them,” he said, adding that culprits would not escape after committing such atrocities.
“The Armed and Security Forces are doing everything possible to bring them to book,” the army PRO said.
He said they are working hard to expedite the process to ensure everyone in pain is healed of their agony and trauma.
Commenting on the explosion in Wassadu, PRO Bojang said the incident had no link to the exhumed bodies and that Wassadu is close to the Cassamance region where the people are fighting to liberate themselves.
However, he noted, they had been investigating the matter to see how and what type of mine exploded in the area to establish the cause.
Talking on how long suspects in government custody will be held in detention, the army PRO said the Armed Forces Act mandated them to keep their personnel for a period of time so they could complete investigations.
He said they are mindful about releasing suspects in custody because they might escape the jurisdiction of the country.
In the Armed Forces Act, they can keep suspects in detention for a month and the commanding officer can also renew a person’s continuous detention, he explained.
Momodou B.E. Njie, an uncle to Lamin Sanneh, whose body was exhumed on Friday, gave memories of his nephew recalling his last sight of his nephew.
He said his family had suffered a lot under Jammeh’s regime due to the detention, torture and death meted out to his nephew.
He therefore refers to his late nephew and colleagues as National Heroes who deserved to be given a befitting burial and a monument erected in their name so they could be remembered for good.
Maleh Jagne, brother to the late Njaga Jagne, whose body was also exhumed on Friday, appealed to the relevant state authorities to consult them anytime they want to carry out process on the bodies, saying media broadcast of the remains is somehow hurtful.

GardaWorld is not ready to stop its pursuit of security firm G4S, despite G4S agreeing to sell its business to Allied Universal last night.
GardaWorld has given itself the option of increasing its bid for G4S following the £3.8bn deal with Allied Universal struck yesterday. GardaWorld had previously said its latest offer for G4S was final.
G4S on Tuesday agreed to a takeover by Allied Universal, picking the U.S. company over Canadian rival GardaWorld after a two-month long bidding war. It had rejected GardaWorld’s offer of 235 pence per share in favor of Allied’s bid, which was 10 pence higher.
GardaWorld said it had withdrawn a no-increase statement in relation to its G4S offer price, and is said to be considering options.
G4S said that GardaWorld’s latest announcement did not change its intention to unanimously recommend Allied Universal’s offer.
Some analysts expect GardaWorld to raise its bid for G4S, but they also said Allied Universal should have more cost synergies given its greater geographic overlap with G4S.
“Our sense from reading all of Garda’s documentation in recent months is that it strongly wants to acquire G4S. A further bid from Garda could maybe prompt a raised offer from Allied,” Panmure Gordon analyst Robert Plant said.
City A.M. has contacted GardaWorld for comment.
G4S’s deal with Allied Universal will incorporate a new company, Allied Bidco, that will be indirectly controlled by Allied Universal. The combination of Allied Universal and G4S will create a security business with revenues of approximately $18bn, should the deal go ahead.
GardaWorld has been making offers for G4S for months. The Canadian firm, which is significantly smaller than G4S, has raised the price of its bid four times since first approaching shareholders about a potential buy in the summer.
The dogged pursuit has at times descended into acrimony, with both sides seeking to convince shareholders of the weaknesses of the other.
Throughout, the G4S board has remained adamant that Gardaworld’s offers have “significantly undervalued” the firm, which provides services such as prison management.
Recently Gardaworld chief executive Stephen Crétier said: “[G4S] Shareholders have a simple choice: remain invested in a company which has consistently failed them and the wider community for so many years, or realise their investment in cash, at a significant and highly attractive premium.”
Gardaworld even hit out at Allied Universal last month, after it revealed to also be in talks with G4S.
“Unlike other real or imagined bidders, our financing is agreed, our offer is a matter of public record and our intent is serious,” Crétier said in a statement.


Hmmm. Didn't we justpass through “Black Friday?” Isn’t that the day where merchants begin to operate in “the black?” What are you saying, famous vendor of striped blankets? Are you saying that we’re in the most lucrative season for merchants and you’re so desperate for cash that you’re willing to sell those diamond studs for less than you paid for them? Are you saying that you typically mark product at 4-times your cost, and these are being sold AT COST? Are you saying that someone who bought those same earrings yesterday paid 4-times today’s price? Will they be getting good value if they purchase them tomorrow at 4-times that incredible price? Has anyone, in fact, ever paid you $8,000 for those diamond studs? Are you promising me that I’d have to pay $8,000 if I bought the same quality of diamond studs elsewhere?
Tuesday, 10 December 2013
If you don’t receive Aleah Arundale’s (formerly Seagal) emails from Olympia Diamonds, they’re extremely well-done, have thought-provoking marketing and product-knowledge messages, and appear to be highly effective at promoting her business. Her recent email focuses on making big promises in your advertising. In her words;
Your claim could be "If you buy her a big diamond, you will never have another fight and your teeth with be whiter!!" Silly? Yes, but it made you smile, pause, and there is a little bit in all of us that wants to believe it is true....
I’ve quoted David Ogilvy before, who said, “the heart and soul of advertising is; A BIG PROMISE." I believe in making big promises too – as long as they’re hyperbole as above or genuinely beneficial to your audience. A certain department store believes in making big promises that are neither humorous, nor genuine. Today only, you can buy a pair of 1.5ct tw diamond studs and save over 75%! That’s a pretty MASSIVE promise.
When consumers see this massive discount, is there a part of them that smiles, pauses, and wants to believe it’s true? I’m sure there will be some misguided dupes.
Is it possible, oh historic Canadian merchant named after a large body of water which borders Northern Ontario, Manitoba, Nunavut, and Quebec that you bought really crummy diamonds for less than $1,999, put them in 18kt gold settings to make them seem valuable, and then pulled an outrageous retail price out of your @$$ that was 300% more than what you wanted to sell them for so that you could WOW people with a 75% discount and still make a profit?
My money’s on this latter scenario. It might have to be if they sue me because some of you repost this to your clients and the unnamed department store’s legal department takes offense.

Principles from the lives of the Caliphs By Osman Nuri Topbas
PRINCIPLES FROM THE LIVES OF THE CALIPHS
The golden age of Islam was the most extraordinary period in human history in terms of virtue, justice, charity, and ethics. Because Prophet Muhammad r, whose internal soul many Muslims regard as the original cause of creation, was alive in the world at the period, it is known as the Golden Age.
The Prophet’s spiritual strength shaped the era in which he lived. And it became possible for many ordinary people to meet him regularly and come to know him well.
The people of that illustrious era arose from the gloom of violent ignorance to establish a culture of peaceful virtue. Then they attained knowledge peaks.
For this reason, therefore, members of this era are known as the Prophet’s Venerable Companions. In whatever they did, they stayed faithful to the Prophet.
As a result, the Companions are a distinct generation. They watched the Prophet’s actions and words and passed on the Prophet’s messages to subsequent generations.
The four succeeding leaders who governed the society after the Prophet became known as the Rightly-Guided Caliphs among the Prophet’s Companions.
They were forerunners in the development of an Islamic identity formed by the Prophet’s virtues. They were enamored with the Prophet, and as a result, they assimilated his character and ideals.
As a result, their hearts were transformed into sacred spaces where they might find divine love. They set an excellent example for all Muslims through their actions and words.
“The age of authentic caliphate after me is thirty years,” Prophet Muhammad r remarked of the worth of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs’ reign.
1 With these statements, the Prophet predicted that Muslims’ political life would decline after that period.
There was a period of calm and harmony before the decline began. And Abu Bakr, the first caliph, had a significant role in this.

Villanelle isn’t clowning around this season on Killing Eve… well, OK, she kind of is, actually.
The effortlessly chic murderer for hire played by Emmy winner Jodie Comer returns for a new season of globetrotting kills this Sunday (BBC America, 9/8c), and that means new accents and costumes — including one mission at a kid’s birthday party that has Villanelle and an associate dressed up like party clowns. Depending on how you feel about clowns, it might be Villanelle’s most terrifying disguise yet… and it wasn’t Comer’s favorite, either.
“I actually have a newfound respect for clowns after wearing that costume,” the actress tells TVLine with a laugh. “We shot that in Barcelona, and it was so hot. I don’t even know what material that costume was made out of, but it was not breathable, and those shoes are so hard to walk in. When I left the set that day, I was like, ‘You know what? Hats off to them, that they manage to stay smiling and entertain kids, when actually it’s just pure misery underneath.'”
When she’s not suffering in clown makeup and big floppy shoes, Villanelle gets an unwelcome blast from the past with the arrival of Dasha, played by Harriet Walter (Succession, Downton Abbey), a legendary killer in her own right who wants to bring Villanelle back to work for The Twelve. As new head writer Suzanne Heathcote explains, “I was really interested in a female handler who [Villanelle] had a begrudging respect for… Dasha, in her day, was brilliant, the best, and has made Villanelle what she is today, in terms of her skill.” But, as Comer warns, “this woman is extremely dangerous and playing her own game.”
Villanelle wants to play her own game in Season 3, too: After years of being a hired gun, she’s looking to take on a more executive role as a handler. “She’s kind of done being controlled,” Comer hints. “There’s always someone who is the puppeteer and is making her do what they need to do, and you can see how that slowly, slowly chipped away at her.” And as executive producer Sally Woodward Gentle notes, last season’s betrayals by Eve, Konstantin and MI6 helped her realize “that actually, she was a very, very small piece of the puzzle, and that she could be manipulated, and she could just be abandoned. She doesn’t want that anymore. That would be massively damaging to her ego as well.”
Season 3 also gives us our deepest insight yet into who Villanelle is. In the second half of the season, starting with a pivotal Episode 5, she goes on a personal journey to reconnect with her roots, Comer says: “She’s having a complete identity crisis at this point and dealing with a lot of her own personal stuff… It felt right to give this character some more depth, and that’s something I was definitely craving to do.”
Check back on Sunday for TVLine’s thorough breakdown of the Killing Eve season premiere.

Some Driveclub Features, Modes Removed As Evolution Continues Server Work
“Some functions are temporarily unavailable including challenges and social updates, but for those of you that can connect, you will still be able to participate in clubs, leaderboards and online multiplayer races,” Evolution posted on its Facebook page. The studio says that tour mode, custom solo events, and car customization are available when not connected to the servers.
Additional server updates are planned for the coming days. These will impact the availability of online functions.
[Source: Driveclub on Facebook]
Driveclub’s tale is starting to sound too close to SimCity’s. The removal of features as a way to increase server capacity doesn’t inspire confidence. This is a terrible look for Evolution and publisher Sony, as this is one of the few retail PlayStation exclusives this fall.

Many sea snakes have been found along the shores of Patong Beach this morning (September 21).
About five sea snakes were caught by boat operators, Patong lifeguards and locals in the early hours of Friday.
Local fishermen say sea snakes are usually found in open seas and swimming on the water surface. Their food is usually small fish and they are not fierce or likely to attack, but Marine officials say they are venomous and should be avoided.
“If you spot a sea snake, contact the Phuket Marine Biological Centre on 076 391 128 if you see a sea snake on any of Phuket’s beaches.”
An injured sea snake was also found on Patong Beach last week.

This Cannondale is a classic case of ‘simple done really well’ if you want a great-looking, efﬁcient bike for less aggressive riding. Push harder though, and the Rush becomes more of a panic.
Getting a half-carbon bike for under £2,000 is deﬁnitely reason enough to take a closer look, and the ﬁbre front end rides as sharp as it looks. The twangy back end undermines this clarity when you push hard, but it’s still light, responsive and always fun to ride. While it’s ﬁne as it stands, the Rush Carbon 4 is also a worthwhile investment for those looking to upgrade their bike.
Ride & handling: Loves fast and flowing trails, but flexy back end hampers performance
There’s a deﬁnite friendliness about the Rush straight away. The slight stiffening and downward ‘dig in’ of the swingarm under power gets you off to a good start, which the low weight and long riding position convert into a very efﬁcient and comfortable cruise, and an impressive turn of climbing speed.
The Fox fork up front stands out clearly in terms of damping control, even against the best efforts of main rival RockShox, and the rear shock never got ﬂustered either. The Pro Pedal platform damping lever is easy to reach if the rhythmic pedal bob on climbs starts to bother you, but there’s never any sense of lost power.
The big carbon mainframe and well-matched cockpit dimensions mean the Rush gives great feedback at the front end. You can really push the nose in hard and hold it there through corners and it hustles through singletrack or rock gardens well too.
While the low bottom bracket means a bit of pedal/crank end clatter if you try to keep the power on through ruts and blocks, the low belly means inspiring stability at speed.
The back end is deﬁnitely on the articulated side though, with noticeable rear end ﬂex and sway rapidly loosening the shock bolt.
The wheel twists noticeably across the dropouts, making it a bike that smears rather than sticks and slices when you start putting it under any sort of sideways pressure.
This same twist is also evident if you’re really pressing the pedals, but the bottom bracket and stiff front end create a rock-solid mainframe to brace your power bursts against.
The fact that the rear suspension references not only your pedalling but also your braking and even the smallest weight shifts also makes it a very involving, enjoyable bike to ﬂick through the singletrack.
Frame: Carbon monocoque is an engineering and aesthetic highlight
Despite its prestige, Cannondale’s Rush is one of the cheapest carbon mainframed full-suss bikes around. The big ﬂuid-lined monocoque wrapping round the oversized head tube and bottom bracket certainly doesn’t look cheap though.
The massive bottom corner allows Cannondale to use the latest super-stiff BB30 oversize axle cranks. The big front end of the swingarm is an intricately cut and pocketed piece too that leads smoothly into the big curved chainstays, while super skinny seatstays drive the Fox shock. The seat tube and seat post are super-skinny too, and this will add some useful ﬂex between the bike and your bum.
Smooth lines – including internal gear routing in the swingarm – make the Rush easy to clean, and the bolted brace hidden ahead of the tyres is cut away to minimise clogging.
The rear seat tube slot is vulnerable to back wheel spray though, and the stays were visibly out of alignment against the seat tube on our sample.
Equipment: All decent kit, and frame is worthy of upgrading over time
A simple-to-ride bike always leaves more thinking time for componentry to shine, and there’s plenty of gear to drool over here.
The Fox F120 fork slays steps, rocks and other multiple bogey situations with complete contempt and the ever-dependable Float RP damper does the same job out back.
The FSA BB30 cranks feel rock solid underfoot, while SRAM shifters punch gears with precise clarity. Mavic rimmed wheels are as proven as the swingarm framework, while Continental’s Mountain King tyres are rapidly becoming a modern classic.
The long, ﬂat Nisene saddle gives loads of bum shufﬂe room on epics while stem and bar are well proportioned for fast but reassuringly controlled riding.

Blackpink to appear on Lady Gaga’s upcoming album ‘Chromatica’
Lady Gaga revealed the official track list for “Chromatica,” her sixth studio album, that was initially scheduled to drop on April 10 but was postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.
Her tweet shows that the album also features a star-studded lineup including Ariana Grande, Elton John and Blackpink, who appear on track 10, titled “Sour Candy.”
“Blackpink and Lady Gaga have listened to each others’ songs and become fans of each other, which naturally led to this collaboration,” said YG Entertainment, Blackpink’s talent agency.
According to Billboard, Lady Gaga posted the track list due to a leaked list that circulated on Twitter earlier in the day.
“On Wednesday morning, Twitter users began circulating screenshots of the album pre-order page on Target’s website, which showed the later-confirmed track list, along with three bonus tracks, made up of two remixes and one additional song,” explained Billboard on its website.
A new release date for Lady Gaga’s album has not been confirmed yet.
“I know you are disappointed. Probably angry and sad,” Lady Gaga wrote Wednesday.
“But I also know that as a fan base ... we are the kindness punks. So I ask you to practice that kindness in these trying times.”

Here’s a pretty common scenario. You’re a first time parent with the most adorable kid in the world. You’re in full tiger mom or dad mode, and you’re not going to let anything in the world hurt your baby. Your child has a sore throat, and you’re worried that it could be strep throat. You want to know if s/he needs antibiotics (Actually, you’re demanding antibiotics, but that’s another conversation!).
If a physician is actually using evidence based medicine to treat you instead of just throwing antibiotics at you to make you feel better (We call that ‘treating the parents’), there are criteria (based on what is called a Centor score) that determines when antibiotics are indicated and will make a difference (because most sore throats are caused by viruses and don’t respond to antibiotics; they’ll get better on their own in time). The Centor score is simple enough that you could figure it out yourself. Here are the components.
The patients are judged on six criteria, with one point added for each positive component.
- History of fever
- Tonsillar exudates (those white patches in the back of the throat)
- Tender anterior cervical lymph nodes (those swollen lumps in the upper neck right below the angle of the jaw)
- No coughing
- Age <15 add 1 point (because strep is more likely at this age)
- Age >44 subtract 1 point (because strep is way less likely at this age)
After that, you’ll have a number. Physicians use that number to guide management as follows:
- 0 or 1 points – No antibiotic or throat culture is necessary; the risk of strep. infection is less than 10%.
- 2 or 3 points – A throat culture should be done, and the patient should be treated with an antibiotic if the culture is positive.
- 4 or 5 points – The patient should be treated with an antibiotic (The risk of strep. infection is 56%), and no throat culture needs to be done.
So… if you do this calculation at home and get a 0 or 1, don’t expect antibiotics, and don’t get mad when you don’t get them. There are consequences to inappropriate usage of antibiotics. As I’ve discussed in the past (as with Staph becoming MRSA, for example), antibiotic resistance is a real phenomenon with dangerous ramifications for patients. At a patient, you really don’t want to take medications unnecessarily. Microorganisms develop resistance when you’re taking medications inappropriately. You want to remain such that when you need them, they work.
I’m happy to answer any questions or take any comments. Thank you.

Her youngest child is a baby.
The last year saw them all plunged into poverty after she was out of work and COVID-19 cost her husband his job.
Thankfully, the staff at L.A. Matheson Secondary in north Surrey had their backs.
“Oh man, I can’t be more grateful for what that school did. They supported me in need. Having five kids, it was not easy dealing with COVID, having a baby and me not working … my husband having a hard time finding work …”
“But the school came in when I definitely needed them and they helped us out with food and things,” she said.

Spectrum Health Innovations technology awarded biomedical grant to improve patient care
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, April 5, 2019 – Spectrum Health Innovations’ technology was awarded a grant of $171,640 from the Michigan Translational Research and Commercialization for Life Sciences (MTRAC) Innovation Hub, a $4 million commercialization-focused program co-funded by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC), for its patient auto-slider.
Spectrum Health Innovations’ auto-slider allows one person to move a patient from one flat surface to another without risk for injury. Without the auto-slider four to eight people are needed to efficiently and safely move patients. The device also allows staff to perform the move using the same bed sheet that is always under the patient, regardless of bed, stretcher, etc. .
The auto-slider is one of 12 new biomedical ideas that emerged from research across Michigan and received funding that could help them make the leap from lab to patient care.
More than $2.5 million in funding has flowed to the teams developing these innovative life science concepts through MTRAC, which is co-managed by Fast Forward Medical Innovation (FFMI—a unit of the U-M Medical School’s Office of Research) and the U-M Office of Technology Transfer, with funding from U-M and the MEDC.
Technology from across the state were selected for funding by MTRAC’s Innovation Hub oversight committee to accelerate their paths to market, bringing them one step closer to ultimately helping patients and their families. In partnership with the MEDC’s Entrepreneurship & Innovation initiative, award recipients will receive mentoring and market and business development support, in addition to funding, through the MTRAC program.
Finalists for the funding — including teams from U-M, Beaumont Health, Michigan State University, Spectrum Health and Wayne State University — presented project proposals to the external MTRAC oversight committee at their annual meeting in downtown Ann Arbor in early January.
Those selected for funding range from an imaging system that provides instantaneous histology during colonoscopies to a device to help transport patients between beds to a cell therapy device for treating premature ovarian failure in young cancer patients. Award amounts range from $150,000 to $250,000 per project, supporting mid-stage product development activities that are critical steps on the path to market.

Seminar organised by the Department of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences of the University of Milan
The optimisation of all the processes in the wine production chain is aimed at raising the quality level of wine production, favouring the optimal management of all phases, from the vineyard to transformation processes. The technical and technological solutions make it possible to redraw the supply chain in the light of the new suggestions of the industry 4.0. programme.
To meet these needs, technology at the service of this supply chain is working in two directions: on the one hand, bringing sensors and systems to support decisions to better manage the vineyard in light of sudden climate changes and on the other, increasingly using non-destructive analysis techniques to monitor transformation processes in order to guarantee high and homogeneous quality levels of wine production.
Starting from these assumptions, the seminar, organised by the Department of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences of the University of Milan, aims to take stock of the technological level reached in this sector by focusing on non-destructive technologies (NIR, Image Analysis , Electronic Nose), now available to operators in the supply chain, and outlining a few solutions that are being studied in two projects which the Department is taking part in: the I-GRAPE project (project funded by the European Community) and the ADAM project (project financed by the Lombardy region).
Some of the leading figures in Italian research and the academic world will be taking part in the meeting, as well as some of the most important manufacturers of non-destructive systems on the market, in order to bring out the issues encountered in transferring these technologies to the wineries.

Jennifer Do and Dory Fung had no ties to Houston police before Hurricane Harvey.
By Wednesday, however, the police force had become their family.
The Houston Police Officers Union turned into a distribution center for food and other supplies, including clean underwear, socks and shoes, for Houston police officers after Harvey.
Longtime friends Do and Fung zipped around the union's kitchen, sorting trays of food, supervising officers in the kitchen and handing officers snacks as they left for their shifts.
Fung, a pastry chef, and Do, a Starbucks manager, infused order in a kitchen where officers are known to butt heads. The women tagged each tray with colorful sticky notes, labeling the type of food and when it was brought in so they could keep tabs on what food was too old to serve.
They said it was their way of showing Houston's police officers that they were cared for.
"This is our family now," Do said.
While eating dinner at the union's office Wednesday, Officers Chris Kirk and Al Olvera shared the chaos they experienced during the weekend.
The two officers, part of the Houston Police Department's special response group, used military-style vehicles to rescue people for nearly 23 hours over the weekend. They said they weren't mentally prepared for what they saw: streets that looked like lakes, floodwater that had risen past house windows and people too anxious to leave their homes.
"This is material stuff. You will come back and recover. Your life is more important," Olvera told people.
The officers stuffed as many as 50 people in trucks designed to fit no more than 24 people, Kirk said. But the rampant flooding forced them to make quick decisions on whom to pick up and whom to leave. During one of the mass rescue trips, Kirk made the call to get out a child with a defibrillator with a low battery over other 911 callers.
"Everybody's asking for help to get out of there," Kirk recalled, "but they're breathing, they're talking. I understand, but that child's on a ventilator. We had to get that kid out of there."
Much of the rain had ended by Wednesday afternoon, and the daunting task of looking for survivors remained.
Do rushed up to Kirk and Olvera just as they were leaving the union's office to hand them snacks for the road.
Do and Fung had initially tried to volunteer at the George R. Brown Convention Center on Tuesday, but ended up asking a Houston police officer if the department needed any help. The officer brought them to the Houston police union's office near downtown.
The officers quickly took them in as their own, giving them blue police union T-shirts and nicknaming them "the Wonder Twins."
The friends spent 10 hours at the office on Tuesday and intended to stay longer, but the officers advised them to go home because of the city's nighttime curfew. So Do went home and brewed coffee to bring back the next morning. Her husband, a dentist, donated toothpaste for the officers and helped deliver food to patrol stations.
The trio overheard many officers on the phone with their spouses, giving advice on how to handle flood insurance claims. One officer at the union asked the volunteers to take a photo of him with his daughter because he wasn't sure when he would see her next.
"They're so busy helping other people that they're not taking care of their family," Fung said. "That just shows how big of a heart they have."

Climate change has had a drastic effect on agricultural production on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. Farmers on the North Shore are facing difficulties in pollinating their corn crops, while those on Kauai are dealing with the loss of topsoil due to heavy flooding. On the island of Hawaii, warmer nights are making it difficult for macadamia trees to bloom. These climate impacts can also have a detrimental effect on the food security of some indigenous peoples in Hawaii and other parts of the United States. Crops such as taro, breadfruit, and mango are particularly vulnerable to climate change.
These crops are often essential sources of nutrition and can also be of cultural and economic importance. Agriculture and fishing are highly dependent on the climate, and rising temperatures and carbon dioxide (CO2) levels may increase the yield of some crops in some places. However, these benefits can only be realized if nutrient levels, soil moisture, water availability, and other conditions are also met. Changes in the frequency and severity of droughts and floods could present challenges for farmers and ranchers, threatening food security. Additionally, rising water temperatures are likely to cause a shift in the distribution of habitats for many fish and shellfish species, potentially altering ecosystems.
In general, climate change could make it difficult to grow, raise animals, and catch fish in the same way and in the same places as in the past. The effects of climate change must also be taken into account alongside other evolving factors affecting agricultural production, such as changes in agricultural practices and technology. Recent research has revealed that climate change has ended seven years of improvements in agricultural productivity over the past 60 years. For a more technical view of emissions from the agriculture sector, see the chapter of the EPA Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory on agricultural activities in the United States.

What is Spine Surgery?
Spine surgery is rare but can be crucial for patients with life-threatening spinal conditions and those who suffer debilitating chronic pain. We plan your surgery using tools and techniques that give us a multitude of surgical strategies to choose from; we practice surgery in all regions of the spine with the utmost diligence.
The cervical region is housed in the neck. From the brain, the entire nervous system passes through the cervical spine, meaning any damage to this area has the potential to cause pain, weakness, numbness, or paralysis in any and every other part of the body below the affected point. Procedures involving this region are delicate.
The thoracic region is the part of the spine that curves outward. It is more commonly referred to as the "upper back" and is the longest part of the spine. Its structures are more complex than those in the cervical region; due to the nature and number of tissues within the thoracic region, we perform surgical work in its vicinity under careful consideration and planning.
The lumbar region is commonly called the "lower back" and comprises the portion of the spine that turns inward (at the base of the thoracic's outward curve). Office workers and people who remain seated for long periods frequently experience lumbar pain. Improved posture, gentle stretching, regular exercise breaks, and alternating between a seated and standing position can all significantly reduce lumbar pain. Lumbar spine surgery is a last resort if all natural techniques prove ineffective against a worsening condition, such as compression or degeneration.
The sacrum and coccyx or "tailbone" are the lowest portions of the spine. Long periods of sitting can cause pain in both the sacrum and the coccyx. Falling and sitting too hard are also common causes of pain in these regions. Pain accompanied by numbness, however, may indicate a serious condition, especially if the numbness spreads into the thighs or inhibits bowel and/or bladder control.
What Kind of Spine Surgeries Are There?
We design your surgery to be as minimally-invasive as possible using state-of-the-art techniques and tested procedures.
Laminectomy or spinal decompression surgery relieves pressure caused by a narrowing of the spinal column. This pressure is sometimes caused by bone growths such as bone spurs. Laminectomy relieves the pressure by removing bone from the interior of the vertebra(e) around the pressurized point. Often, this procedure is performed in conjunction with a discectomy.
Discectomy is a process that relieves compression of the spinal cord and/or nerve roots caused by the cartilage between the vertebra pushing down on them. This painful condition can occur anywhere there is vertebral cartilage present. Procedures include cervical discectomy as well as anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF).
Spinal fusion involves surgically and permanently fusing together one or more vertebra to eliminate any opposing movement and improve stability. Such a process is accomplished using bone grafts; the bone tissue usually comes from another part of the patient's body, but grafts that use donor bone tissue are not uncommon.
Sometimes compression causes fractures, especially in patients who suffer from osteoporosis or certain forms of arthritis. Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty repair compression fractures using a compound that acts as bone cement. The result is an extremely strong chemical bond that both hardens and strengthens the existing bone.
Total disc replacement and artificial disc replacement are procedures that treat damaged intervertebral cartilage or "discs" with synthetic replacements. These surgeries are common solutions to severe back pain and dysfunction caused by degenerative diseases that erode cartilage.
What Conditions Does Spine Surgery Treat?
Surgery is an option for many relatively common issues that become severe over time, usually due to corresponding conditions. Degenerative arthritis, for example, can wreak havoc on the spinal column.
Bone diseases and disorders leave the spine vulnerable to damage and injury. Osteoporosis increases the likelihood of vertebral fractures. Whenever possible, these are treated with non-surgical healing methods, including braces and physical therapy.
Spondylolisthesis describes a condition in which one or more bones in the spine slip out of place, causing pain and dysfunction when the slipped bone(s) rubs against the bone below it. As painful as it can be, this condition is very treatable.
Spinal stenosis refers to the narrowing of the spinal column that puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, which can be relieved through a laminectomy.
Herniated or ruptured discs usually don't require surgery. In rare cases, however, they can crush spinal nerves. Such cases must be treated with emergency surgery to avoid permanent damage.
Other rare issues that cause pain and may require surgery include tumor, infection, and damage to the nerve roots, such as in cases of cauda equina syndrome (CES); this is a rare condition with distinct symptoms that include worsening pain or weakness in the lower spine coupled with bladder or bowel dysfunction or a loss of sensation around the rectum and/or down the thighs. CES is an emergency condition that requires immediate surgical intervention.
Should I Consider Spine Surgery?
If you suffer from severe or long-term pain or dysfunction of the spine, talk to your doctor right away.
Spine surgery can repair injuries and damage, improve spinal alignment and stability, reduce pain and inflammation, and prevent future damage.
Back pain is typical, especially as we age. Conditions that might call for surgery usually involve consistent or recurring pain paired with at least one other identifying symptom. Potential candidates for spine surgery suffer from characteristic symptoms, the most common of which is consistent or recurring pain.
Pain that worsens over time, gets worse at night, or is accompanied by a fever is cause for concern.
Pain that began after an accident or fall is also common; if this pain radiates into the thighs or legs, or is paired with numbness or weakness in the legs and consistent bladder or bowel problems, call 911 or seek emergency medical assistance.

choose... decide... make up your mind... resolve and settle it once and for all
we have been given a wonderful tool - a 'decider'. we can use it for all sorts of situations and circumstances in our lives.
will we have another piece of chocolate... will we sell our belongings and go to the other side of the world to help AIDs orphans. and all sorts of inbetweens.
the other day, after reading a comment from a friend, i got to thinking about a passage in the Old Testament - actually, two passages - and only a snippet from each. they both speak of choice. they speak of life... and who we will serve.
then, a third passage followed hard on the heels of the first two - this one in the New Testament. about not living as others have dictated.
"... I have set before you life and death... choose life that you may live" - there is a quality of living we are given the opportunity to choose.
"... choose who you will serve..." - there is servitude involved in our choice.
"... do not be conformed..." - that tells me i can make a choice as to whether i will shape myself to someone else's demands.
we can choose - i choose life. we can choose to not be in servitude to that which binds, and stifles, and controls - i choose life. we can choose not to be conformed to their patterns - i choose life.
we can choose, decide, make up our minds to be bent and pushed and shaped into someone's mold. if we do, in my seeing and experience, we have chosen death. we have chosen to serve that person/thing/institution, etc, in the fashion of their choosing. and that results in death to whom we are meant to be.
even if we have chosen that which brings death and servitude and conforming - we can choose again - for life. and in the very choosing, we will begin to be set free - transformed - renewed. in our minds - in our walks - in our lives.
and we will find that good, acceptable, perfect desire for us. we will find and know His desire for us - we will find, and walk in - that person He desires us to be.

9 charged for alleged Chicago Housing Authority fraud
CHICAGO -- Nine people have been charged for allegedly defrauding the Chicago Housing Authority and other government agencies of more than $1 million by falsely obtaining benefits to which they were not entitled.
The nine, all from Chicago, are accused of a variety of schemes, including fraudulently obtaining housing assistance funds from CHA by failing to report income to qualify for housing assistance, and getting payments as a landlord in the Housing Choice Voucher program.
Several of the nine are also accused of providing false information to the Social Security Administration in order to obtain housing subsidies or support to which they otherwise would not have been entitled.
The charges against the nine were filed by the Cook County state's attorney's office after investigations by the CHA's inspector general's office.

the supply of Russian gas to Europe through the "Nord stream-2" may start in the coming months, possibly before the end of 2019, said the Minister of energy of Russia Alexander Novak.
"This is a question for Nord Stream 2 to a greater extent ... Maybe this year will try to do. Depending on the schedule of this project look like now will be restored to the continuation of construction and further speed the completion of various issues relating to commissioning, fill the pipe," said Mr. Novak.
the Pipeline "Nord stream-2" capacity of 55 billion cubic meters of gas per year from Russia to Germany under the Baltic sea next to the already existing "Northern stream". Its length — more than 1.2 thousand km
November 19, Gazprom is filled with gas to both branches of the "Turkish stream" and completes commissioning.
the Company also reported that the Russkaya cs and the landfall area in Russia is ready to start operation simultaneously completed commissioning at the receiving terminal in Turkey.
the Launch of the gas pipeline "Turkish stream" is scheduled before the end of 2019.
we will Remind, at the end of October "Gazprom" has overcome the last obstacle to the completion of the "Nord stream-2": Denmark after two years of discussions, issued a permit for the pipeline construction. She was the last country that delayed construction. On 13 November the German Parliament passed a law that actually allow Gazprom to circumvent regulations of the EU gas Directive and to use the gas pipeline "Nord stream-2" at full capacity.
Total transit capacity of Turkish and Northern stream exceeds 100 billion cubic meters of gas per year.

Rock star Rod Stewart is to become a father again at the age of 60 - and will marry fiancee Penny Lancaster after the baby is born.
Penny Lancaster and Rod Stewart may get married in Scotland
The baby is due in early December and the wedding is set for spring 2006.
News of the pregnancy had leaked out, but the couple waited to confirm until Lancaster, 33, passed her 12th week.
Stewart said: "I count myself blessed to have bestowed upon me the honour of fatherhood again with Penny, whom I love and cherish so much."
The couple, who have been together almost six years, announced in March this year that they were to marry after Stewart's divorce from ex-wife Rachel Hunter was finalised.
This will be Stewart's seventh child.
The star describes himself as a father of five children - Kimberley, 25, and Sean, 24, by first wife Alana Stewart; Ruby, 17, by former girlfriend Kelly Emberg; and Renee, 13, and Liam, 10, by second wife Rachel Hunter.
He also has a sixth child, Sarah Thubron, 41, born before he was famous following a teenage romance with art student Susannah Boffey.
He married Hunter in 1990 but they split after nine years.
After a 40-year career, Stewart has enjoyed one of his most successful periods to date, topping the US album chart for the first time and winning his first Grammy Award.

August Storytime - August is Rainbow Fish Month!
Our Preschool Storytimes are scheduled for Fridays at 11:00 a.m. Preschool storytime is geared towards children ages 18 months to 4 years of age, although younger and older siblings and friends are always welcome to participate. It is a great way to introduce young children to an age-appropriate "school" environment, and all the skills that help young children function in such an environment, such as sharing with others. It is also a great way to encourage pre-literacy skills such as "print motivation" (thinking that books and reading are fun) and "print awareness" (recognizing print and understanding how books work).
Here is August's line-up:

This month's photo blogging challenge features blue - the most common colour in my world thanks to the broad prairie sky overhead, its reflection in rivers, ponds and lakes, and the extensive use of blue-tinted glass in Calgary's newest office towers. The one constraint I imposed was to take all photos in downtown Calgary, since last month's PBC post featured photos from Canmore. Please click through to enjoy urban variations on blue...
Photo Blogging Challenge – Colour (April 2017)
We don't always realize how much the presence (or absence) of colour influences how we're feeling. But the range and depth of our response to colour is embedded in language: seeing red, feeling blue, mellow yellow and "orange ya glad" are some of the common English phrases that reflect the influence of colour on emotion. So when winter hangs around longer usual, leaving the landscape drab and a little depressing, it's a challenge to spot uplifting splashes of colour in nearby nature.

Design Driven Value Chains in the World of Cellulose (DWoC) Research
Tiina Härkäsalmi, Aalto University Colored cellulose foam by Tiina Härkäsalmi. Photo by Eeva Suorlahti
BACKGROUND The aim of design is the innovative humanisation of technologies and to exploit the design research as a tool for cellulose technology development enabling new application areas, product concepts and business development. Material explorations, experiments and early phase prototyping are the key elements of design processes. They can provide new insights not only into the intrinsic material properties, but as well into the more holistic understanding about the potential limits and benefits of cellulosic materials and their properties regarding on the perceptual and associative qualities.
Nanocellulose structure experiment by Tiina Härkäsalmi. Photo by Eeva Suorlahti
CHARACTERISTICS The cellulosic materials and technologies were explored using the approach of research-through-design, which is nonlinear and iterative by nature. The goal of the explorations was to investigate material properties from multiple perspectives by creating material samples entailing different colours, forms, structures and compounds. For example, tubular and hemispherical forms were chosen to test the formability and mouldability of 100 % fibrillated nanocellulose, and compounds of nanocellulose and pulp, cellulose filaments or foam formed nonwovens.
TOWARDS POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS The challenge of productisation is the low technology readiness level of processing novel types of cellulose-based materials in an industrial scale. The cellulosic materials and technologies offer wide-ranging opportunities for further development of recyclable and biodegradable products.

In the production process of using zinc plating trivalent blue passivation, sometimes the film layer of the workpiece will appear partial whitening, like fogging. How to solve this phenomenon?
Bigolly Technology made the following analysis based on the field experience and the characteristics of the zinc plating trivalent blue passivation BZ-212 product,There are many reasons for the appearance of white fog,it is necessary to pay attention to the links from pretreatment, bath maintenance to passivation treatment.
1. Incomplete degreasing in pretreatment: If the degreasing in pretreatment is incomplete, the plating solution will be polluted, the performance of the plating solution will be deteriorated, and the workpiece will appear foggy and flowery due to the adhesion of oil stains.
2. Improper maintenance of the plating solution: If the performance of the galvanized brightener is not good, or the galvanized brightener is added too much, or there are too many organic impurities in the plating solution, it is easy to make the galvanized layer fog.When there are heavy metal impurities such as lead and copper in the plating solution, the general content exceeds 5mg/l, there will be obvious fogging phenomenon.
3. The chemical polishing solution has not been replaced: it is generally required to use 2-3% nitric acid for polishing. If the chemical polishing solution is used for a long time, the accumulated zinc ion concentration is too high, or the acidity of the chemical polishing solution is too low, which will affect the chemical polishing of the plated parts. quality, resulting in fogging of the coating.
4. The blue zinc passivation solution is unbalanced: the pH value in the passivation solution is too high, and the acidity is too low, which is easy to form passivation fog.In addition, after long-term use, the accumulation of Zn2+ and Cr3+ in the passivation solution is too high, and it is easy to form the passivation layer and fog.
Therefore, we need to pay attention to the above four points in the production process of using zinc plating trivalent blue passivation,It can effectively reduce the occurrence of failures and improve production efficiency.If you are interested in zinc plating trivalent blue passivation, please contact Bigolly customer service, you can get free samples and detailed technical information!

Once considered a fringe food by the U.S. culinary mainstream, sweet potatoes are fast becoming popular everywhere from fast food chains to gourmet restaurants and the White House table.
Three years ago, the “Wall Street Journal” wrote in a front page article that except for their use in an iconic, marshmallow-smothered Thanksgiving dish, sweet potatoes were a wholly uninteresting food. Yet over the past two years, the number of restaurants offering a sweet potato-based side dish has increased 40 percent. Food giant ConAgra just spent $155 million to open the world’s first plant devoted entirely to frozen sweet potato products, and U.S. farmers are planning to harvest a record-setting 2 billion pound crop.
“It’s not something we believe is a fad,” said Andy Johnston of ConAgra Foods Lamb Weston.
According to research conducted by ConAgra, 30 percent of sweet potato eaters report consuming the vegetable several times per month. Only 12 percent eat them only during the Thanksgiving and winter holiday season.
Analysts attribute the sweet potato’s growing popularity in large part to sweet potato fries, which account for the majority of the vegetable’s presence in U.S. restaurants. In fact, Google searches for “sweet potato fries” increased 40 percent over the past year.
Sweet potatoes have also become popular among more conscious eaters, however, in part because they are high in vitamins and have a low glycemic index in spite of their sweetness. Both Weight Watchers and the South Beach Diet have recommended sweet potatoes, roasted in a little oil rather than fried, and doctors are recommending them for diabetics.
“Within the diabetic community, it’s become pretty common knowledge that sweet potatoes are good for you, so there’s a groundswell because so many people have diabetes now,” said chef Michel Nischan, who helps host a TV show for people with diabetes.

The Facebook video that saw councillor in hot water
COUNCILLOR Christian Dickson says he will restrict his social media use for his own purposes after receiving an official reprimand for inappropriate conduct.
Cr Dickson rose during Sunshine Coast Council's meeting on Thursday to add context to his name appearing in the council's 2017/18 annual report for contravening social media policy for councillors.
He said he wasn't aware he was breaching policy when he posted a video referring to his father, former member for Buderim Steve Dickson, during the lead up to last year's State Election.
Mr Dickson ran unsuccessfully as a One Nation candidate against LNP candidate and now Member for Buderim, Brent Mickelberg.
"I thought nothing of it," Cr Dickson said of his post.
He said it was general business for him to use his account to get his messages out to the community.
But Cr Dickson said he met with Mayor Mark Jamieson after being made aware by senior council staff a complaint had been received about his post.
He said he was told the publishing of other members' of parliament political views was the breach.
"It comes across as if I have been reprimanded with regards to that but with all genuineness and honesty I was just doing what I had always done for 12 years," Cr Dickson said.
"In the future I will just stick to my issues and keep everybody else out of it."
