A specialized branch of microscopy, fluorescence microscopy enables the observer to tag proteins to various elements of a specimen, and these proteins will fluoresce under different wavelengths of light. However, the fluorescent light produced from the specimen can be very weak, which can make it difficult to view sometimes.
In order to detect the fluorescing light, a highly sensitive camera is required to image the low emission target. In addition, the camera should provide the highest signal-to-noise ratio possible, and have low noise so as to ensure accuracy above the noise floor.
The camera has an ability to trap light and change it into a signal, and Quantum efficiency (QE) is a measure of the camera’s ability to do that. This is also a measured ratio between the number of photons striking the sensor and the ensuing electrons.
“Peak QE” is a term that refers to the maximum QE value and is often referred to when comparing sensors.
When selecting a camera to capture fluorescence microscopy images, peak QE does not provide the most critical specification for evaluation, because quantum efficiency is a function of wavelength.
For instance, when using dyes such as Cy5.5 and Alexa Fluor 680 that emit in the 650 nm to 800 nm range, a sensor’s peak QE may be typically found around 500 nm and will be considerably lower with longer wavelengths. The QE should be considered over the wavelength region of interest.
Read Noise/Dark Current Noise
Another characteristic of the camera is noise, and this feature must be taken into account when choosing a camera for fluorescence microscopy. If there is a high noise floor, then low-light signals against the background noise will be difficult to resolve.
Dark current noise and read noise are two forms of noise that are of major significance in this domain. Dark current noise is a noise due to thermally dependent sources, while read noise is defined as the overall arbitrary temporal noise caused by the camera electronics and imager (in e-). It is possible to generate read noise at various points in the camera and imager.
Dark current noise is measured in units of e-/sec, and depends on the temperature and exposure time. As fluorescence is relatively faint and does not generate much light, longer exposure times are employed so that more light is collected on the image sensor. In such situations, dark current noise can help to reduce the camera’s dynamic range.
Actively cooling the image sensor can resolve this thermally induced dark current noise. Conversely, active cooling is not required in certain fluorescence applications as the signal-to-noise ratio is sufficient to capture the required information over the exposure times employed for the image capture.
Lumenera's new INFINITY3S-1UR microscopy camera is not a cooled camera and yet it comes with a remarkable dark current noise of below 1 e-/s at 22°C. Equipped with a high peak quantum efficiency of 71% for the monochrome version and a read noise of less than 6 electrons, the INFINITY3S-1UR is a suitable choice for those looking for a microscope camera that can deliver high-quality images.
In addition, the low noise and high QE in the INFINITY3S-1UR translates to a dynamic range of 70 dB, making it a perfect solution for low-light imaging applications. The camera is also available in a color version with 57% Peak QE. Both versions can generate 14 bit images, making them suitable for medical and research applications.
The unique USB 3.0 interface supports the camera’s frame rate of 60 fps and 45 fps for monochrome and color versions, respectively.
Whether users are looking for a camera for low light applications or fluorescence microscopy images, the INFINITY3S-1UR camera can capture research-grade images with unprecedented detail.

Double Lunch launches new Edmonton music
It’s inevitable that Craig Martell would eventually launch a record label to uncover new talent. The man’s had both hands and feet in the Edmonton music scene since he was lured here by the Alberta oil boom less than 10 years ago. He comes from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, where he went to university and worked as a bartender. Martell bought and ran a little club off Whyte Avenue called Wunderbar, which nurtured the careers of many a fledgling indie rocker before the bar closed last year. He continues to promote a myriad of shows at venues around town. The local scene has embraced him to its bosom.
His Double Lunch Records celebrates its official launch Thursday at the Sewing Machine Factory, with the release of two local bands’ new recordings: CHAM and Birds Bear Arms. He knows you may never have heard of them. Martell has signed four acts to his cassette-only label so far, on the way to representing a new way of marketing music – kind of like the old way, in truth.
“I don’t want be a label that just presses someone’s tape and then says, ‘OK, that’s good enough.’ I want to provide something beyond that, and I think I’m capable of that,” he says, pledging to work as hard as he can on press, promotion, marketing and all you have to do to break a band; it helps he’s already an established concert promoter with a reputation to uphold.
He says the advantage of cassettes is that they’re fast and they’re cheap, making the decision to check out relatively unknown band that much easier. CDs are a hard sell these days. Vinyl (which Double Lunch hopes to move into down the road) is more expensive, and while more desirable from an audiophile’s or collector’s perspective, “You’d really have to like a band a lot to spend $20 on vinyl … but for $5 on a cassette, you can take a chance,” Martell says. All Double Lunch releases also come with a free download code.
As anyone on the management or label side of the music business can attest, you have to love the bands you work with. What’s the point otherwise? Martell pledges to get behind all of his acts, hoping his name will carry some credibility. He uses Birds Bear Arms as an example: “They’ve been at it for a couple of years, but a lot of people in Edmonton don’t know who they are. They’re really young. I’m saying that if I’m willing to put money behind them and put out their record, people will give them a chance and listen to them, not just on the tape side, but live. They’re incredible.”
Birds Bear Arms is a jangly, screamy, somewhat experimental power pop band, but Double Lunch will not be genre-specific, Martell says. He’s going for the “post-Nirvana Sub Pop era,” where pretty much anything went. CHAM (top picture), for instance, is completely different than BBA: Jangly, not so screamy, more poppy, more of a new wave vibe thanks to a female singer, and a bit of an attitude. The first single is called Fuck for Fun.
“I didn’t to be withheld by genre in any way,” Martell says. “There are great labels that have had super success being genre-specific, but if you see a club that’s only doing a certain type of music and then that music falls out of favour, well, then they’re done.”
He speaks from experience.

John Ashcroft Attorney General
Dear Attorney General Ashcroft:
I write to express my grave concern over Operation TIPS, the Justice Department's misguided plans to encourage American citizens to spy on each other under the guise of fighting terrorism. I urge you to immediately abandon plans for its implementation.
I realize that you have yet to release specifics on Operation TIPS, described on the "Citizen Corps" website as a program that "will involve the millions of American workers who, in the daily course of their work, are in a unique position to see potentially unusual or suspicious activity in public places." However, the little information that has been shared with the general public to date disturbs me profoundly. I believe this invitation to amateur espionage violates our civil liberties, undermines the very principles upon which our great nation was founded, and risks dividing the American people who have since September 11th stood united in defense of our liberties.
Surely, Mr. Attorney General, you do not intend workers such as letter carriers, trash collectors, utility employees or people delivering daily newspapers in the pre-dawn hours to spy on those individuals they come into contact with on a daily basis? The precedents from Nazi German and Stalinist Russia are painfully obvious.
I know that we are living in dangerous times and heightened awareness is essential. However, I do not believe this authorizes the President or the Attorney General to recruit millions of Americans to spy on other Americans, the people they come into contact with on a daily basis.
I fear, moreover, that the useless, frivolous and possibly malicious calls generated by Operation TIPS will far outweigh any useful information gathered. Law enforcement officials will be overwhelmed. I call on you to reject Operation TIPS, and devote the Justice Department's human and financial resources to efforts that will truly advance the war on terrorism.
I look forward to your response.
Michael E. Capuano

Your tyres are very important parts of your car. Unfortunately, many people do not look after them properly, and this can have serious consequences. It can compromise the performance of the vehicle, and you could put yourself at risk of having a road accident. It’s, therefore, crucial to keeping your tyres well maintained at all times. Here are 7 simple tips to keep tyres in good condition.
7 Simple Tips To Keep Tyres In Good Condition
1. Check the pressures regularly
Tyre pressure has a significant impact on steering, handling, braking and fuel consumption. If tyres are wrongly inflated, it increases fuel consumption and makes them more susceptible to wear. At worst, having the wrong pressure can cause a blowout.
2. Check for damage and wear
It’s important to do a physical check of the tyres and watch out for signs of unusual wear or damage. This includes cuts, bulges or foreign objects. If you notice a problem, you need to get it checked by a professional and repaired or replaced if necessary.
3. Ensure there is enough tread
Tyre treads have a direct impact on the performance of your car, and also its safety, especially in poor weather. The minimum legal depth is 1.6mm, so make sure if the tread is at or below this depth, your tyres are replaced immediately.
4. Don’t overload your car
Overloading your car can be hazardous. A vehicle carrying a lot of weight handles differently, and it causes excessive wear on the tyres. This could cause a tyre to explode.
5. Keep your wheels aligned
Misaligned wheels can create problems for your tyres, resulting in uneven wear. It can also cause increased fuel consumption.
6. Take care of kerbs
Sometimes mounting kerb is unavoidable, but it’s important to be careful when manoeuvring the car in this way. Hitting a kerb can cause a tyre’s sidewall to become pinched weakening the tyre and potentially resulting in a blow-out.
7. Maintain good driving habits
It’s important to practice good driving habits to keep tyres in good condition. Excessive braking or acceleration can have a detrimental effect on your tyres.
Here at the Car Clinic MOT Centre in Ledsham, Ellesmere Port we supply and fit all tyre manufacturers and sizes and our prices include valves, balancing and fitting. Our technicians fit tyres whilst you wait, and offer a drive in, drive out service. For a free Ellesmere Port car repairs quote or Ellesmere Port tyres quote just call us on 0151 339 0101 or pop in at your convenience.

Hi there everyone,
I want to just say ‘hi’ to my new followers, thank you and I hope you won’t be too bored with my ramblings!!!
Now then,, what’s happened today?
We got up and walked Charlie down to the beach, this dog is amazing, OK so he may be deaf and he may be nearly 15 years old but get him on a beach and he turns back the clock! He runs, he smiles and he digs holes in the sand, as they say it’s a dog’s life! I think I can say with hand on heart that he is one happy hound!
We set off from Isla Cristina for the border with Portugal, where surprisingly we were stopped by the customs officers. All I can say is that it was a delight. We had a lady officer who was so lovely, she wanted to know where we were from, where we were going, how long we would be there, how much money we’d spent in Spain!!!! And finished off with a lovely ‘Happy Christmas’!
We have heard talk of mayhem when it comes to Portugal’s motorways, we must be lucky … it seemed pretty straightforward, we probably did everything wrong!!! We inserted our credit card and it connects it to the registration plate of Harry then when we use this, particular, motorway we are charged accordingly. It isn’t huge bucks and it seems only logic for us to pay for motorways, it will get us there quicker and more safely than taking all the back roads.
We stopped for a coffee on the way and to let Charlie out, we did notice a very, low-flying helicopter and I feared that maybe we had done everything incorrectly and they were coming ‘to get us’!
We are now just outside Albufiera, we did get a couple of glimpses of it as we approached, we may pop over in the morning although I don’t feel ‘the need’ if you know what I mean.
My first impressions of Portugal are that it is very green and lush, not really what I was expecting. Of all the people we have met so far, customs officials, lady in a cafe (who helped us when lost) and the campsite staff have been incredibly smiley and welcoming. I like Portugal … so far!
We are on a campsite that has every possible amenity, pools, sports, disco!!, bars, restaurants, supermarket, electricity and wifi for the princely sum of 14.50Euros, I like Portugal even more!!
We are here and most of the afternoon has been spent catching up with friends and family either by Skype or Facetime it’s been fabulous to see their faces and have a decent chat instead of seeing them freeze with some ghastly grimace as the internet cuts out!
We have only a couple of places we want to see in Portugal and then are perhaps planning to go back to southern Spain and take advantage of the lovely sunshine.
I am always amazed at the amount of flowers that are still in bloom down here, it lifts the spirits. We are parked under an Almond tree which sounds so delightful although I’m sure if one drops on the roof tonight, it will frighten the living daylights out of me!!
Here are some photos taken yesterday and today, hope you enjoy.


Fake perfumes are real! As paradoxical as it may sound, it is true, and it is quite a menacing issue these days that not only haunts the cheated customer, but also the seller and the brand being cloned. It kills the reputation of the imitated brand and it leaves the customer feeling betrayed, not to mention the allergic side effects that some of them might have had to suffer when they used the fake perfume on their bodies.
Such counterfeit cosmetics including makeup and perfumes have caused serious health risks in Canada, and tons of fake products have been seized in the Toronto area, in the last six months. Hence, it is very important to pay attention to even the tiniest of details when shopping for fragrances.
Viola Newton of Fragrance 365 says, “People need to put in enough time and thought while purchasing perfumes to make sure that they don’t fall victim to the misleading fake perfume trend” Fortunately, a good look at the product can help you identify if you’re about to buy a fake perfume or not at a duty-free store.
Here are 6 tips that you can rely on
1. The wrapping
Real perfumes are always tightly and neatly wrapped in cellophane. The cellophane, in addition, would also be quite thick and of good quality. If the perfume you’re looking at has loose wrapping, has ugly folds in its packaging or uses thin and substandard quality cellophane, then it’s probably a fake one.
2. The colour of the perfume
Always remember that luxury brands don’t always use a lot of colour additives or dyes in their products. For the same reason, most of their perfumes would look pale or lightly coloured. If the perfume you are looking at has a strikingly brighter colour, then it is probably because of chemicals and other substances.
Chanel was once faced with a counterfeit issue that misled customers into thinking that their famous “No.5” perfume had urine in it. But it turned out to be an ingredient in their fake knock-offs.
3. The Seams
Original perfumes will always be wrapped in flawless plastic with seams neatly folded and sealed. Fake perfumes might have improper seams with excess glue or uneven width or length measurements etc.
4. The Bottle Cap
Unless deliberately designed, the bottle cap of an original perfume will always be perfectly symmetrical with the bottle. It closes to be even with the centre of the bottle. Fake perfumes might be off-centre and asymmetrical.
5. The Label
Check the label for spelling mistakes or other discrepancies, in comparison to the brand’s information on the website. Even the smallest mismatch in the logo or the name or information could be a sign of a fake.
6. The Serial Number
The serial number will always be indicated at the bottom of the bottle and at the base of its box. Make sure they are both the same. It will not be glued on and it will always be imprinted in ink.
Check for that as well. Look for these pointers the next time you go to a duty-free store and save yourself from a scam.

No, not the taught psychological cinema thriller, but my own taught psychological thrills while trying to figure out why my vintage shutter only worked in one speed ("T") Turns out I had accidentally let loose a small brass cylinder in the works which needed to be reattached, and I had to bend up a small worn nub of metal to engage some other speed-thingamabob. It's all very complex, but now I can honestly say that I have stared into the face of a shutter mechanism and lived to tell the tale.

Quang Tri – Construction of 106 houses in natural disaster-hit areas worth 14.3 billion VND (615,000 USD) began in the central province of Quang Tri on March 5, funded by the Asian Development Bank (ADB).
The houses are for poor and near-poor households and those from ethnic minority groups in Dak Rong, Huong Hoa, Cam Lo, Gio Linh, and Vinh Linh districts, which were all hit by flooding and landslides last year. They are scheduled for completion by May 24.
Addressing the ground-breaking ceremony, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Quang Tri People's Committee Ha Sy Dong asked local authorities and beneficiaries to coordinate closely to ensure that the houses are completed on time with high quality.
The province will continue to mobilise resources for the construction of public works serving local people, he went on, especially those in mountainous and ethnic minority areas and those prone to natural disasters.
The historic flooding last October in Quang Tri killed 53 people and left two missing, while destroying more than 2,000 houses and inundating 110,000 others. Total losses were estimated at over 4.25 trillion VND (183 million USD).

This research used a qualitative approach with descriptive design in order to find the translation shifting utilized by the translator from English to Indonesia and the translation quality assessment. The data were taken from the novel entitled Me Before You written by Jojo Moyes (2012) and from Indonesian-translated novel by Tanti Lesmana published in 2013. Furthermore, this research used Catford’s theory and Nababan et al., with the other theories, to find out the answer in the analyzing process. Catford divided translation shift into two, level shift and category shift. There are four types of category shift; structure shift, class shift, unit shift, and intra-system shift. The result showed that there were category shift that found in the data, which consist 28 unit shifts (57%), 12 intra-system shifts (23%) and 10 class shifts (20%). Translation quality assessment in three data shows less accuracy level dan the overall data indicates high accuracy level, high acceptability level, dan high readability level. As the implication, the result of this research has provided several new insights regarding the category shift in a written work which can be such a reference for other researchers in doing the similar focus of research.

A $52.1 million combined school and town budget proposed for 2001-02 would increase spending by 7.85 percent, town officials learned Thursday night.
"The annual operating budget for the town of Bloomfield is one of the most important tasks we undertake," Town Manager Louie Chapman told members of the council. "The operating budget represents the financial blueprint for the town. It outlines for the residents, the general public and the administrative staff the priorities of town government."
Chapman's breakdown of the budget includes: a $27.5 million school budget that would increase spending by $2.5 million; a town budget of $22.4 million with an almost $800,000 increase; and $2.2 million in capital improvements that would increase spending in the capital-improvement budget by $500,000.
Chapman told the council, "This may seem like smoke and mirrors, but the taxes on their [residents'] homes will be less even though the mill rate will be higher."
He said the owner of a home worth $100,000 last year paid $2,669 in taxes on a tax rate of 26.69 mills. This year, if Chapman's budget is approved, the home -- which has been devalued by 30 percent because of revaluation --would pay $2,539, or $130 less, on a tax rate of 36.28 mills.
"For most of the taxpayers of Bloomfield, their taxes will go down on their homes," Mayor Faith McMahon said. "However, there is a group of homeowners -- particularly condominium owners near the West Hartford line -- whose taxes will go up. People with expensive cars and businesses with personal property will also see an increase."
"I thought his presentation was excellent," McMahon said about Chapman's discussion.
Republican Joseph Merritt was a bit more hesitant about offering compliments. "We're still looking at it. We just got it tonight, and there's a lot to see," he said. "We still don't know what the effect on the taxes will be."Among the budget items was a $30,000 study of salaries. Chapman said, for example, that the town engineer, who was hired at about $60,000 a year, was making less than the people he supervised. He said this problem must be rectified.
When council members looked at the request for the human relations commission, they noticed that the $400 budgeted for the current year hadn't been spent. One member asked why the commission hadn't used the money.
"They haven't met in a year and a half. Most of their terms have expired," said Baine Wilde, executive aide to Chapman.
Chapman said that this year he wants the Main Street USA program to fix up the downtown area. He is putting aside $80,000 to set up a nonprofit corporation to improve the area's appearance.
He also is looking at a school readiness program, which the state funded to provide tuition for needy preschool children. Now that the town is no longer designated by the state as a priority school district, funding has been curtailed.
McMahon said she hopes alternate funding can be found, and that the town even consider an all-day kindergarten.
The first public hearing on the budget will be held Tuesday at 7 p.m. at the town council chambers in town hall. Public works, leisure services and town properties will be discussed at the session.

What you don’t want to do is blindly buy either the cheapest or the most expensive router you can find.
If you don’t give your networks different names (SSIDs), in practice all your devices end up piling onto one 5 GHz band, and you’ll experience slower speeds, delays, and even dropped connections when several of them are online and busy at the same time.In the meantime please make sure to look out for firmware updates and keep up on security patches, and we’ll keep you posted.Netgear’s R7000P is a dual-band, three-stream 802.11ac router with simple, functional, load-balancing band steering, which minimizes frustration by automatically distributing your connected devices between the router’s two wireless bands.We spent more than 100 hours running new tests on 18 routers, and we think the Netgear R7000P is the best one for most people because it’s easy to set up, has good range and speed, and its load-balancing band steering helps it handle busy networks with lots of devices.Our runner-up, the Asus RT-AC3200, offers three wireless bands instead of the typical two and can perform better than the R7000P, but it’s considerably more difficult to configure.
Search for wrt54g updating ddns status:
An older router that doesn’t support 802.11ac, has a weak CPU, or doesn’t have Gigabit Ethernet ports, can hold you back significantly. Any of our picks will easily outperform any router you got from your Internet service provider, or any router more than a few years old.

The Typo keyboard iPhone accessory caught the attention of quite a number of people – including BlackBerry lawyers by the looks of it – when it first appeared on tech sites last month.
The Canadian mobile maker claims Typo Products, a company co-founded by entertainment personality Ryan Seacrest, has copied the distinctive design of the physical keyboard found on many of its handsets, including one of its most recent phones, the Q10. As a result, it’s decided to sue.
The $99 keyboard case is set to debut at this week’s CES in Las Vegas and will start shipping later this month. It’s been designed for those who’d prefer a physical keyboard to the iPhone’s on-screen offering, with the company behind it claiming it helps reduce typos.
Steve Zipperstein, BlackBerry’s general counsel and chief legal officer, called Typo Product’s new keyboard case a “blatant infringement against BlackBerry’s iconic keyboard,” adding that the Canadian company intends to “vigorously protect” its intellectual property against any company that attempts to copy its “unique design.”
Zipperstein continued: “From the beginning, BlackBerry has always focused on offering an exceptional typing experience that combines a great design with ergonomic excellence. We are flattered by the desire to graft our keyboard onto other smartphones, but we will not tolerate such activity without fair compensation for using our intellectual property and our technological innovations.”
‘Years of development and research’
Typo Products over the weekend acknowledged BlackBerry’s lawsuit, but said the claims of the Canadian company “lack merit” and that it intends to “defend the case vigorously.”
“We are excited about our innovative keyboard design, which is the culmination of years of development and research,” the LA-based company said. “The Typo keyboard has garnered an overwhelmingly positive response from the public. We are also looking forward to our product launch at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next week and remain on track to begin shipping pre-orders at the end of January.”
Seacrest is thought to have invested around a million dollars in Typo Products, with reported plans to invest a further $5 million in the development of other keyboard-related products.

Metalworking fluids are necessary to prevent corrosion and overheating within industrial equipment, truck fleets, and planes. They're what keeps your machines running efficiently and with little downtime for optimal productivity.
However, not all metalworking lubricants are created equal. For instance, the Castrol Syntilo 9930 doesn't work the same as Braycote 601 or an Aeroshell 64.
Metalworking fluids are each grouped into four different classifications. These classifications are ultimately based on their composition. To refresh yourself or to learn more about how these industrial lubricants are composed, consider the following classifications.
It should be noted that while not all four classes of metalworking fluids are diluted with water for performance, they all contain additives to enhance their performance. These additives often include emulsifiers, detergents, biocides, surfactants, anti-weld agents, etc. In some cases, certain additives may be used to control pH level.
It's necessary to know these different classifications of metalworking fluids when selecting oil solutions. After all, the wrong lubricant used for the job could cause more problems than it solves.
Industrial supplies like Castrol Syntilo 9930 and other metalworking lubricants are necessary for an efficient industrial business. For more information on specialty lubricants, transportation lubricants, and other corrosion preventatives, contact Santie Wholesale Oil Company today.

Free thinkers like Ricardo McKenzie, despite their animus with the Church and Christianity need to heed the Jamaican maxim “beat the dawg an geem im dues”, in other words be fair, balance criticism with compliment.
It is beyond controversy that no one could enjoy playing/listening to music that is centuries old without the invention of notation (the means of recording music to be read by whomever, wherever and whenever). To whom is Western music indebted for this innovation?
The Italian Guido of Arezzo (c. AD 995-1050), a Benedictine monk seems to be the man to applaud for introducing the staff of lines/spaces for music notation.
My Western Music History class at the Jamaica Theological Seminary (years ago) searched but could find nothing to refute Alvin J. Schmidt’s contention that Church musician Giovanni Gabrieli (c. 1554- 1612) created the Sonata late in the 1500s, albeit not as church music, and he was also behind the creation of the Symphony. (Schmidt, Under the Influence, p.320)
Every knowledgeable music lover knows that J. S. Bach (1685-1750) and G.F. Handel (1685-1759) were both ardent Lutherans and gifted musicians whose works still enthrall atheists and religionists alike.
Yes, they were both Germans, Lutherans and born in the same year. Bach expressed his personal devotion to Jesus by appending at the beginning of almost all of his compositions one of the following initials, “J.J.” (Jesu Juva: Help me, Jesus) or “I.N.J.” (In Nomine Jesu: In the name of Jesus) and at the end he would write “S.D.G.” (Soli Deo Gloria: Glory to God Alone), so urges Schmidt (p. 324).
Messiah, Handel’s most famous oratorio (root meaning in Latin is prayer), which captures the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ contains arguably the best globally known and loved piece of classical music, the Hallelujah Chorus. It is reported that over the 24-day period that he took to write Messiah, Handel was quite unmindful of even the normal necessities of life and wept on occasion as he experienced God’s presence while composing.This is but a thin slice of a rich history of pioneering Christian musicians who have positively shaped the music of the western world.

Key senators mum on Kavanaugh vote after four days of hearings
Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, said they remain undecided as Kavanaugh.
In a J.F.K. moment when Murkowski reasoned if she should not ask what her constituents could do for her, she showed her colors, she answered thusly.
Murkowski, meanwhile, is under pressure not only from abortion rights groups but also native Alaskans who fear Kavanaugh may rule against environmental laws and would not favor the rights of minority voters.
Fear he may?
Groups of Alaskans who oppose Kavanaugh made a 12-hour trip to D.C. to meet with Murkowski and hold rallies opposing Kavanaugh’s confirmation.
A group of Native Americans who helped Murkowski win a write-in campaign years ago also weighed in against Kavanaugh.
Collins on the issues: Her voting record: (Source)
Murkowski on the issues: (Source)
It’s surprising the progressive arm of the Democrats haven’t recruited them to switch parties.
District Court Judge Kavanaugh is far more qualified to be a jurist than these two are to be representing their states in the United States Senate.
Two more RINO’s have put targets on their backs.
Now it’s up to the Republican Party to go bucks up and run primaries against these two losers and make sure actual conservatives win their seats.
Seriously if they can’t make their minds up after reading his decisions and writings it’s time to show them the door.
For whatever good they might be our country would be better off if they were Democrats, at least they have a reason to obstruct his nomination.
The Washington Examiner
September 10, 2018
Key Republicans and Democrats in the Senate have yet to indicate whether they will vote to confirm Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh days after his raucous confirmation hearing concluded last week.
Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, said they remain undecided as Kavanaugh this week works to answer follow-up questions from members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, where he spent hours answering questions from lawmakers amid shouts from protesters who infiltrated the committee room.
“I am still working through my process,” Murkowski said when asked about her decision on Kavanaugh
Collins has also stayed quiet, and aides wouldn’t say whether she might announce a decision when the Senate returns on Wednesday, or sometime later.
A group of moderate Democrats up for re-election has also said nothing, despite growing pressure from outside groups both for and against the nominee.
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who voted for Gorsuch but is undecided on Kavanaugh, told the Washington Examiner the need to keep pre-existing conditions covered by Obamacare insurers would help him decide.
In a new campaign ad, Manchin shoots at a copy of a lawsuit supported by his opponent, Patrick Morrisey, that would let insurers drop pre-existing condition coverage. Kavanaugh opponents fear he will side with Morrisey if the lawsuit makes it to the high court.
Still, Manchin told CNN last week he had not “seen anything” during Kavanaugh’s hearing that would disqualify him for the Supreme Court, giving hope to Kavanaugh’s supporters.
Manchin is one of three Democrats who voted for Justice Neil Gorsuch, along with Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Joe Donnelly of Indiana. All three are facing tough re-election battles in November in states that went double digits for President Trump in 2016.
Pro and anti-Kavanaugh groups are targeting these lawmakers, who risk losing significant support from voters no matter what they decide.
Groups opposed to the nominee are spending millions on ads warning that Kavanaugh would vote against the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling legalizing abortion, or the Obamacare requirement that insurers cover pre-existing conditions.
Please see the entire article below.
“Tell Sen. Donnelly to keep fighting for people with pre-existing conditions,” a Demand Justice ad declared in a message the group uses to target all three lawmakers. “Vote no on Brett Kavanaugh.”
But one of the moderate Democrats who might vote for Kavanaugh revealed a decision on Monday.
One Democrat, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, announced her opposition on Facebook. “While much of Judge Kavanaugh’s record remains a mystery, what we do know is extremely troubling and dangerously out of step with the American people, particularly on critical issues including executive power, abortion rights, and pre-existing conditions,” Shaheen said.
The Senate Judiciary Committee on Sept. 20 is expected to vote to advance Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Senate floor. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Kavanaugh would be considered on the Senate floor by the end of the month.
Collins and Murkowski, two moderate pro-choice lawmakers, are considered the only at-risk GOP votes when it comes to confirming Kavanaugh, who has been widely praised by the party as an extremely well-qualified and mainstream candidate to replace now-retired Justice Anthony Kennedy.
While neither has signaled their vote in favor of Kavanaugh might be in doubt, they are under considerable pressure from outside groups who oppose the nominee.
In addition to advertisements targeting the lawmakers, progressive activists have sent thousands of coat hangers to Collins to try to pressure her to vote against Kavanaugh, who they believe would vote to overturn Roe v. Wade.
“We are concerned moving his nomination forward due to his unsound views and potential injury that his misperceptions would wreak upon your Native Alaskan constituents, our Native Hawaiian friends and fellow indigenous peoples,” Richard Peterson, the president of the Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska, wrote to Murkowski Friday.
Republicans can only afford one GOP defection. Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., filled a vacancy left by the death of fellow Republican John McCain, which gives the party a 51-49 advantage in the Senate. If one Republican votes “no” along with every Democrat, Vice President Mike Pence could still be used to break the 50-50 tie, but the GOP would need one Democratic defector for every additional Republican who votes “no” to confirm him.
All of this SPECULATION about WHAT IF?
ObamaCare and abortion are not on the table for a Supreme Court decision and may never be.
What we do know about Judge Kavanaugh is that he follows the U. S. Constitution which is the specific task of the Supreme Court! Just how and why these questions arise is nothing but pure Speculation! Justice Roberts surprised everyone when he supported ObamaCare the Affordable Care Act which is clearly against the U. S. Constitution. This exam[le is simply used to make a point, speculation about what a Justice may or may not do is just that speculation.
Looking at the past record of Judge Kavanuagh is interesting and with over 10 years of published decisions with stated reasoning it seems to me that these alarmists are foolish!
What is very clear is that Kavanaugh supports the Rule of Law as defined in the U. S. Constitution and that is what is important.

Chains of Love Beanie Hat Knitting Pattern
This comfy hat forms its lovely chain link pattern. It’s a great hat for beginners to tackle and you’ll be amazed at how quickly (and easily) the chain design appears as you knit.
This hat can be made with any bulky or chunky weight yarn but I highly recommend trying Groovy by Dream in Color since it’s superwash (you can just throw it in the washing machine and you’re good to go).
The hat is knit flat and sewn up in the final step with a tapestry needle using the same yarn used for the hat. The pattern features a diagram explaining the Mattress Stitch technique to demonstrate the best way to do so.
The finished hat will fit heads from 21" to 24" due to the stretchiness of the design.

Hyderabad ‘ India’s ‘first ever’ Transition Health Care Facility Centre was launched by Hyderabad-based SuVitas today. The company said it would raise Rs 150 crores for its expansion into other metros in the country. “We are looking at raising the required capital in two tranches.
In the next six months, we are looking at raising Rs 30-40 crore from various venture capitalists and private equity players,” SuVitas founder and director, Mr. Sateesh Andra, told reporters on the occasion.
The post hospitalisation rehabilitation services provider aims to expand to 15 centres in various metros, including Chennai, Bengaluru, Pune, Mumbai ,New Delhi and also another one in Hyderabad the next two years, he said. “Initially, we launched its transition care facility with 60 beds in Srinagar Colony, where renowned doctors are staying, in Hyderabad and in the next two-three years, it plans to operate 1,000 beds with each centre equipped with over 60 beds,” he said.
The post surgery rehabilitation care in India is still in nascent stages and there is a demand in the segment for Rs 5,000 crores in the next five years, he said adding in the US, as against the 100,000 critical care hospital beds, there were 800,000 transitional care beds. Explaining the need for greater number of post rehabilitation centres in the country, Andra said most of the patients required round-the-clock supervision and other kinds of rejuvenating therapies from physiotherapists, psychologists and wellness experts to accelerate the recovery.
The centre would like to be a homely atmosphere and SuVitas is banking on patient referrals from the multi-specialty hospitals, senior citizens of the non-resident Indians, to start-with, he said. It also expects demand for its services from foreign nationals traveling India for medical treatment.

This is too perfect & too short (sort of like me 😉
Its been on loop for the last two days – and I’m sure it’ll continue to be as I fly over Europe the next couple nights.
I visited a small village in Western Afghanistan yesterday, hope to write about the experience after I arrive at my final destination tomorrow.
Last night I had the strangest dream; I was staying at a hostel in Stockholm, Sweden – which was landlocked inside of Spain. Somehow, in my dream, I knew perfectly that Stockholm was the capital of Sweden. Admittedly, don’t know if I would’ve been able to recall that while conscious – don’t hate me Sweden, I swear most Americans know the name of your capitol.
I walked through the twisted hallways of my living quarters and the building, but each hallway twisted and flipped like an indefinite repetition of fractals (Google: fractals if ya aint up on it) so they were hard to navigate and get around. With me was my tall, pale, British friend with the THICK as molasses british accent I met in Istanbul. His voice was British NPR worthy, it was perfect.
We crawled and climbed our way out of the green-blue fractal caverns to the lobby of the hostel where I encountered my Cross-Cultural Literature TA from Madison – who for some reason was working the front counter. We exchanged quick hello’s and I was out the door to scope out Stockholm.
When I got outside the sun was setting and it was absolutely gorgeous. Fall weather, crisp leaves falling, golden rays of light piercing through thick foliage. I remember seeing a park bench and taking a quick snapshot of it with my digital camera. After taking the picture, I realized I had been here before.
Upon waking up and thinking about it, the exact picture I took in my dream …I realized I had actually taken. It was taken in Istanbul, when I was climbing the Buyuk Ada Island’s peak to see the old Basilica. I remember the exact scenery from the picture in my dream to a moment when I stopped to a picture while hiking. This was the picture…
Significance ? Or completely arbitrary neuron firing, resulting in some vague image recollection?
I like to think dreams spell out some sort of significance beyond a completely random assembly of images and ideas from days previous. Sometimes even the crazy ones. I think too many times we can’t comprehend what our own brains are telling us.
Is incredible. If there is a place on earth with any semblance to a small slice of heaven, I think it is Turkey. The people are friendly, the food is inexpensive and great, the bazaars are huge, the weather is nice, the history is rich, and the overall feel is very welcoming. It’s a confused country, where the tidal waves of east and west collide to produce their own little entity, intertwining the people of Islam with Western thoughts and trends. In the heart of the city, it’s rare to see any identifiable trace of any other culture. It all seems very proud, very Turkish. No chains either – well, except Starbucks.
Compliments to Sunny Huang for some of these shots, his turned out a lot better than mine
I stood outside of a Starbucks with a British friend from the hostel and explained to him,
“Man, if I get a cup of Starbucks right now, I’ll feel like a total American asshole”
“I guess that makes me an American asshole then?” says someone standing to my left. I look over and see this definitely American dude, with a cup of Starbucks in his hand. I couldn’t help but laugh a little.
“Uhhh, yeah… I guess it does!” I said to him half smiling, “Don’t worry, we’re in the same boat” I followed up since I noticed he was quite distraught by the comment.
I ended up seeing this guy later too (out at night), which was as funny an encounter as the first time.
The mosques are littered about the skyline, and they’re enormous. Even up close, they look like CGI, they’re enormous magnificent structures. The Blue Mosque is quite the architectural feat, I cant imagine the construction of such a building. Even more impressive (from the inside) is the Sulemaniye mosque, with it’s almost abstract modern decor. Stripes of pink/salmon line the arches surrounded by a sea of white. It’s creative. It also requires work to admire, as it sits atop a steep climb at the Eminonu metro stop. Each mosque’s interior looks similar, the exteriors vary to some degree. Standing outside the Blue mosque and staring at it, I couldn’t comprehend it. It literally looked like something out of Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings. The size and scale, the fog around the top. The high towering minarets and vast clusters of domes.
The style is pretty amazing. I feel like Turkish people got facial/hair down perfectly. I grabbed a jacket and three shirts from the Spice Bazaar. On a general level, the attention to fashion seems a bit elevated versus the US. Walking through the Spice Bazaar, I heard some of the most hilarious quotes,
“You look like you have just arrived in from Heaven”
“Where are you? You are here”
“What do you want? Take it, it’s free, everything is free”
Keep in mind these are salesmen that speak completely broken English, desperately trying to reel passers by into their stores to purchase their merchandise.
A great traveling lesson I learned in Turkey is with regards to haggling. Haggling prices has always been difficult for me, especially since there’s a language barrier to deal with. Here’s the golden way to figure out the price range you should be paying. When you buy from one person, shoot the breeze with them a bit, then say, “Hey so I was also thinking about grabbing a jacket, what do you think I should pay?” Since you’ve already bought something from them, and were somewhat friendly about it, they’re ALWAYS happy to impart their ‘expert’ local opinion to you, the gullible traveler. Every time I bought an item, I’d ask the seller about the price range for my next item in mind. It helped me get some incredible deals – or so I think.
If you are to visit Istanbul, the DO NOT miss items in my opinion are: The Galata Tower at sunset (if you stick around til the sun completely sinks, you watch the city light up in front of your eyes), the Prince’s Islands ferry to Buyuk Ada which has incredible nature/scenery and an old Turkish beach town feel, Sulemanye/Blue Mosques, The Spice Bazaar which is an endless puzzle you could get lost in for an entire day, and the Hagia Sophia and Topkapi palace only because they’re rich with history – but honestly not too spectacular of you’re unfamiliar with the region’s past. Istiklal street is PERFECT for night life. It’s a wide and quite long street, decorated with christmas lights this time of year, flooded with young people stopping in the dessert shops, restaurants, and cafes. At night, the bars, clubs, lounges, and other cafes come to life and don’t rest until 5 in the am. Needless to say, I spent three of my four nights out on Istiklal street investigating the nightlife. The Basilica Cistern is worth a quick look for a small price of 10 liras, which is an underground basilica half flooded with water and sea-life. The metro (as in any city) is worth a few rides to get a feel for the city and the people.
You must try the baklava and stop by the street vendors for their sweet Sahlep, which is a milk/honey drink with cinnamon that is absolutely delicious. The prices for their food items are typically very low, I like that. Same in Egypt. Even taking currency exchange into account, the prices are low without the sacrifice of nutritional quality. Also, Apple tea is unreal, it literally tastes like you’ve bitten into an apple on consumption. I bought a kilogram from the Spice Bazaar with intent to send it back home for the fam.
One of the many nights I went out for hookah with some of the hostel-mates, I was told about Cappadocia and Olympus (both of which are in Turkey). Olympus sounds absolutely amazing… with caves which you can swim in, secluded beaches along the Mediterranean, and hostels and rooms built up in the trees. Apparently there are only 2-3 places like this on earth, in Olympus you will find cracks in the ground where natural vapors rise from the earth. Somehow they are ignited upon release from the ground and create a small flame. And apparently they spring up from everywhere. Sounds unreal, doesnt it? Next time I’m in Turkey, Olympus will be a must.
Overall, the experience was absolutely amazing. Even more amazing was a break from 7 day workweeks and endless round-clock hours. Even more amazing were the evenings in Istanbul with Apple Tea and great company with hostel-mates from all over the world. Even more amazing were the unbelievable sights, smells, and vibes from a country saturated with culture.

NutraFlex POWERHOUSE ACTIVE NUTRIENT
MSM is a naturally occurring organic sulphur compound. Not only is this amazing mineral a building block for healthy bones and joints, helping them stay stronger for longer but it's also a dynamic antioxidant and immune booster.
Is your animal companion suffering in silence?
Environmental and household toxins and poor quality commercial pet foods can leave a pet's body and wellbeing under constant assault.
Over time this can create autoimmune symptoms, swelling and associated discomfort. Chronic discomfort can strike animals in the prime of their life, making daily life uncomfortable and miserable.
Many vets and holistic practitioners advocate supplementing with MSM because it delivers natural relief from discomfort and is a great way to provide an animal with a much-needed boost of bioactive sulphur.
How MSM works
Inflammation is the root cause of discomfort and chronic conditions. Alternative treatments tend to mask this issue by simply ‘turning off’ nerves. This does not provide a long-term solution and typically creates other debilitating side effects.
Once in the system, MSM helps reduce swelling at a cellular level, by stimulating the activity of cortisol, reducing pressure and softening cell membranes, making them more permeable and promoting the effective removal of toxins, wastes, and heavy metals while enabling the uptake of water and nutrients, rejuvenating cells, enhancing tissue repair and flexibility.
Cell permeability may sound like a minor detail, but in reality, it's huge! The deterioration or lack of cell permeability is considered by many veterinarians to be the root cause of chronic swelling allergies and discomfort.
Bioactive Pure Organic Sulphur as OptiMSM
Our products are formulated using OptiMSM – the purest (China-free) form of MSM available, obtained via a special patented distillation process. OptiMSM is also backed by numerous clinical studies for safety and efficacy. MSM (methylsulphonylmethane) is a naturally occurring organic sulphur-rich compound essential for optimal health.

Baltimore music teacher Kenyatta Hardison directs the Cardinal Shehan School Choir during a rehearsal of Andra Day's "Rise Up" in late September.
The Baltimore middle school choir whose stirring rendition of “Rise Up” went viral this fall will perform the national anthem before the Ravens’ game Sunday against the Detroit Lions, a Ravens spokesman confirmed.
WBAL-TV reported Friday that a group of sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade Cardinal Shehan School students will sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at M&T Bank Stadium.
“It was just such an amazing story that we were like, 'We have to get a hold of these kids and see if they could sing the anthem for us at a game,’” Ilsa Marden, manager of events and game entertainment for the Ravens, told WBAL-TV.
School choir director Kenyatta Hardison’s initial Sept. 27 video of the performance of the Andra Day song “Rise Up” has been viewed more than 3.5 million times, and the choir’s profile has grown in recent months. In October, it performed live on “Good Morning America,” and last month, it collaborated with Common and Day herself on “The View.”

I don’t know if you’ve had warm olives before but they take something that’s already yum to super yummalicious. The flavours are more intense and the texture of the olives become so juicy and plump. They kinda tasty more meaty (does that make sense?) Drrooool!

FITC (fluorescein isothiocyanate) is a fluorochrome dye that absorbs ultraviolet or blue light causing molecules to become excited and emit a visible yellow-green light. This emission ceases upon removal of the light causing the excitation. Fluorochrome labeling provides rapid, accurate localization of antigen-antibody interaction when one of the reactants is part of a cell, tissue or other biological structure. FITC is a commonly used marker for antibodies in immunofluorescent techniques because the conjugation of FITC to proteins is relatively easy and generally does not destroy the biological activity of the labeled protein. FITC is widely used as a hapten to label different proteins. Antibodies to FITC are used to identify FITC labeled proteins and as models to study the mechanism of antibody response to a well defined hapten. Monoclonal Anti-FITC (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized mouse.
The antibody reacts with both free and conjugated fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC).
Antibodies to FITC serve as universal indicator reagents by bridging FITC with another immunohistochemical reagent such as alkaline phosphatase or horseradish peroxidase. Mouse monoclonal clone FL-D6 anti-FITC−Alkaline Phosphatase conjugate antibody may be used for the detection of FITC and as a universal indicator reagent for bridging FITC with other immunochemical reagents. It can be used in ELISA and immunofluorescent techniques.
Alkaline phosphatase-conjugated mouse anti-FITC antibody was used for immunohistochemistry on mouse spleens. Tissue sections were fixed in acetone, blocked with PBS/5% goat serum/ 0.1% Tween and incubated with a FITC-conjugated primary antibody prior to the addition of the AP-conjugated anti-FITC antibody.
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Immunohistochemistry (1 paper)
Solution in 0.05 M Tris buffer, pH 8.0, containing 1% bovine serum albumin, 50% glycerol, 1 mM MgCl2 and 15 mM sodium azide

It can be difficult for locals to see the direct economic impact of a thriving cruise port with passengers kept on single tourist trail, but locals selling their wares say business has never been better in Halifax.
Visitors from all over the world are descending on the Halifax Seaport Farmers’ Market these days, climbing down cruise ship gangplanks into the bustling market that hugs the waterfront.
Indeed, more than 130 cruise vessels are expected this year to deliver some 250,000 people from across North America, Europe and Asia to Halifax and the continent’s oldest continuous farmers’ market, in operation since 1750.
The city’s growing cruise-ship industry is the key reason behind the decision in 2010 to relocate the market from its former brewery premises a few blocks away to its current 50,000-square-foot, two-storey building, twice the size of its previous premises. “The ships are making a big difference,” says Dave Belt, whose market stall offers a remarkable array of lavender products, ranging from soaps and creams to tea and mosquito repellents.

Are you breathing polluted air in the underground Metro? This is precisely what the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi is trying to find out. Are the tens and thousands of commuters inhaling polluted air and what impact will this have on their health?
The IIT’s civil engineering department and the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) have undertaken the study to find out the levels of pollutants in the air at the Patel Chowk and Chandni Chowk stations. The IIT will also formulate an indoor air quality monitoring protocol – the minimum air quality limits – for Delhi Metro stations and precautionary measures to be taken.
Metros across the world have such standards and the moment the pollution level crosses the minimum limit, automatic measures come into effect to neutralise the rising level.
“Through the study we want to know the level of pollution at underground Delhi metro stations,” Mukesh Khare, the IIT professor heading the project, told .
“Every day, hundreds of thousands of people commute by the Metro and sometimes all of us must have felt nauseating and suffocating while standing at a station or inside a train. A drop in oxygen levels and poor air circulation are among the main reasons for this,” Khare pointed out.
An IIT team has placed air monitoring instruments at the two stations and data is being collected at different time periods – peak and non-peak hours.
"We will collect the data of the quality of air at two stations for a year. At underground stations air is circulated by the air conditioning system but most of the time, its periodic maintenance is not done, which adds to the problem," said Khare.
"The air-conditioning system takes air from outside and circulates it inside. The air in Delhi is very polluted and it is for sure that the air circulated is also polluted," he added.The final results of the study will be available only in 2015 as analysis of data will take about two years.
However, if anything alarming or significant emerges during the study period, this will be looked into, a DMRC official said.Khare said that former DMRC chairman E. Sreedharan had shown interest in initiating the project but it was commissioned by present chief Mangu Singh.
About the basis of selecting the stations for the study, the professor said they were looking for those with high and low footfalls.This led them to select Patel Chowk, which sees a low turn-out, and Chandni Chowk, which leads to the walled city market and attracts shoppers and tourists.
"Chandni Chowk has very high footfalls and many businessmen also travel on this route while Patel Chowk gets fewer footfalls," Khare said.He said through the study people will get to know about the air they inhale at underground and its impact on their health.At present 43 km of the 193-km system is underground.
The study is important as with the completion of Phase-III in 2016, DMRC would cover almost 70 percent of Delhi. This line will be a combination of elevated (95 km) and underground (45 km) tracks.
"The study will help in assessing the pollution levels at Metro stations and the precautionary measures to be taken," a Delhi Metro official said.Delhi Metro makes over 2,700 trips a day and ferries around 1.8 million passengers on weekdays.

Access Towers and Ladders
They are a sensible and practical option for low-risk, short duration and light tasks
The most common injury made by ladder climbers is bruising from falling off a ladder, but bone fractures are common, and head injuries are also likely, depending on the nature of the accident.
Mobile access towers are widely used and can provide an effective and safe means of gaining access to work at height. However, inappropriate erection and misuse of towers are the cause of numerous accidents each year. Aluminium and thin-wall steel towers are light and can easily overturn if used incorrectly. Towers rely on all parts being in place to ensure adequate strength. They can collapse if sections are left out.
Our podium steps are ideal for use at a low level. They are much better suited to lower heights than a step ladder or a hop-up work platform when working at a height; this is because the podium steps and platforms have a larger surface area to work on.
An extension ladder provides the easiest, most convenient way to reach high areas around less than 2m high, but with greater heights come greater chances for more serious injury. They also require a stable platform to lean on.
Industrial Scaffolding Towers
Provide the safest alternative to using a ladder to work above ground level. They can reach lengths of up to 14m. Basic fall arrest training is required to work on this platform.
Ladder Jack Scaffold
Triangle-shaped brackets called “ladder jacks” are attached to portable ladders, which are used on each side of a ladder jack scaffold to form a means of support for a platform.
Advanced Guardrail Towers
Rails that can be assembled on the next level above the one on which the assembler is standing. There are two types of system available known as ‘additional’ or ‘integral’. The ‘additional’ system means that as each level is assembled, a permanent guard rail is added in place of the AGR, which is moved up to the level above. The ‘integral’ system forms the advanced guard-rail as part of the tower structure so it remains in the same position until the tower is dismantled.
Stairway tower is the ideal scaffold for safe and ergonomically working at height.
