If the calling client hears the busy signal or gets tired of waiting in the call queue, or no one picks up the phone, he/she is likely to call a competitor. At the very least, they'll be dissatisfied.
Missed calls are direct losses in the case of quick sales and decrease in customer loyalty for all companies.
The most dangerous thing is that companies often do not even know about the number of missed calls.
Fortunately, MightyCall cloud business phone system can fix the situation.
A client often hears a busy tone simply because the company doesn't have enough channels.
This applies to entrepreneurs using a mobile number as a business number. But this also applies to companies with a PBX, where traffic may exceed the capacity of incoming telephone lines.
What's more, the flow of customer requests is unstable. For example, on pre-holiday days or as a result of an intensive promotional campaign, the number of customer requests can increase by several times.
The prime solution to such problems is cloud telephony. For example, MightyCall is connected to other operators by high-capacity lines, so our clients' phones are always free.
In the next step, you need to connect the client with an employee of your company, for example, with a sales manager. If the connections are established through the secretary, this can become the next bottleneck in receiving calls.
MightyCall offers an effective solution to this problem — a virtual receptionist. The virtual receptionist greets a calling customer and invites him to choose with which department or employee he wants to talk. A virtual secretary can simultaneously serve many callers. It quickly sorts incoming calls and enhances the company's image.
After the virtual receptionist discovers the reason the call, the virtual PBX, taking into account the time of day, calling and called numbers, distributes calls among available employees.
The connection should be established quickly, otherwise, the client will not wait for an answer and will drop the call.
For that to happen, MightyCall business phone system uses several tools.
First, team members can set their Available/DND statuses. Team members who are not ready to receive the call will be excluded from the call. This greatly shortens the time to answer.
Secondly, if the client's call stands in a queue, the client, at scheduled intervals, hears an invitation to leave a voice message.
Finally, it is important to choose a suitable method of call distribution among your teammates.
Parallel — everyone will receive a call at the same time. With this algorithm, the speed-of-answering is the fastest.
Freest first. Sometimes the specifics of the company's work involves post-call processing, for example, making proposals. In such a situation, the сall is first sent to the team member with the highest chance of responding. This is the team member whose previous conversation was earlier than that of others.
Some of the unanswered client requests occur during off-hours.
With MightyCall, you can easily find their number by using the report on missed calls. If this number is significant, you can set rolling work hours.
If you have only a bit of missed calls after-hours, you can take advantage of voicemail or forwarding calls to the on-duty employees working from home. This call flow processing can be set with the option after hours call routing. For example, a customer calls before the start of the day. He/she can leave a voicemail and contact information. The first manager who comes to the office will contact the caller.
Sometimes a client wants to talk to a personal manager or an expert, but the call remains unanswered because the expert is not at his/her workplace. Maybe on a coffee break, on a business trip, or the worker's day is over.
So the call doesn't remain unanswered, MightyCall can use the find me / follow me function.
Virtual PBX calls all the specialist's phones — desk telephone in the office, mobile, home or softphone. And connects him/her with the client. The call can go both in parallel and in sequence.
Missed calls from VIP clients are obviously undesirable. For VIP customers, you need to cut the answering time to a minimum, regardless of the time of day and workload of employees.
In order to achieve this, the MightyCall business phone system offers the VIP list feature. For clients included in this list, special rules for call routing are established. For example, the phone system can forward the calls straight to the most experienced employees. This rule can be applied even after hours, when other calls are sent to voicemail.
Your first friend – a report on received and missed calls. From this, you can find out what proportion of the calls remains unanswered. Moreover, which employees and working groups missed calls. The report will also show how the number of missed calls varies over time, whether your reorganization is effective.
With the help of reports, you can find out how many unanswered calls were due to the fact that no one picked up the phone, how many voicemails were left, how many very short calls were dropped by the client.
Changing the number of missed calls throughout the day will show whether the cause lies in the work schedule of team members. For example, a report can show that most calls come in just when many managers are at lunch. Customers have to wait a long time on the line — and many do not wait. The solution is to change the schedule of lunch breaks or to engage workers from other departments in call processing during peak hours. Maybe, you need to increase the sales staff.
Average call duration is an another valuable report if your team is too busy to answer all calls. If one of the team members has a much longer call duration than the average for your team, perhaps, he or she makes some mistakes in communications. Call records will help to understand this. After a focused training, your team will use the resources more efficiently.
Сustomers who have to wait long for an answer tend to drop calls. Therefore, a report on the average time to answer is very important. This report, like the others, contains filters for employees, groups, date range and time of day.
If, despite the measures taken, any call remains unanswered, it gets added to the task list. As a result, you will never forget to process it. For example, call back or send a commercial offer. This is a unique feature of the MightyCall cloud phone system.
MightyCall business phone system allows you to minimize the number of missed calls.
It can help you understand the reasons for missed call and eliminate them. Then, using analytical reports, you can evaluate the results of the changes.

Small Hospital Lives Large with Advanced EXAM-PACS Technology
25-bed hospital delivers advanced digital diagnosis in rural setting.
With just 25 beds and seven attending physicians, tiny Ellenville Regional Hospital lives large in its upper New York state rural community, combining cutting-edge procedures and technologies for high-quality medical care. Local residents look to the independent critical access hospital for services ranging from radiology and emergency care, to physical therapy and cardiology as well as to provide a gateway to larger, specialized facilities.
Ellenville Regional Hospital uses advanced technology to serve its rural community.
Today, following a financial reorganization and a three-year transformation, Ellenville is proving size and location need not define a medical facility. Under the capable stewardship of CEO Steven Kelley, the hospital is undergoing a significant upgrade enterprise wide. In radiology, Ellenville has installed a multislice CT, CR, DR, and most recently an advanced Web-based PACS to help provide high-quality diagnoses and ensure that the radiology department runs smoothly.
"Patients should be able to obtain a fast, precise diagnosis in their own community," said Kelley. "While most hospitals our size do not have any digital imaging capabilities at all, we were committed to finding a way for our patients to enjoy the significant benefits of digital technology, and we're already seeing the positive results."
How did Kelley and his team achieve all this? By learning about the potential of PACS and developing a clear idea of what they wished to accomplish with it, by looking carefully at ways to provide financial justification for the project and by connecting with the right vendor.
"CoActiv gave us advanced technology that met all our goals," commented Kelley. Ellenville had no budget allocated for a digital radiology transition. But, the PACS will pay for itself in a short time with the savings realized over film-based operations and will provide enough extra capital to fund the DR and CR.
Naturally, through the PACS purchase, the hospital wanted to eliminate the administrative entanglements and expense of film operations. When it came to features, it wanted ease of use and a range of advanced functionality. Also, the strong and flexible offsite Web-based communication was key in enabling reading by a quality remote radiology group.
Michel Bonnin, director of Radiology, explained, "We do not have radiologists onsite full-time, but wanted to deliver specialized diagnostic services with a two-hour turnaround. Just prior to looking for a PACS, we had selected Millennium Medical Imaging, a well-known Albany, NY-area radiology group, to read films for Ellenville. To utilize the group who are spread out in numerous offices, we needed a technologically advanced PACS capable of supporting fast, accurate multi-site communication."
After conducting a thorough search of the marketplace, the hospital decided on CoActiv EXAM-PACS, which had impressed the search team during a site visit to a metro area hospital. "It was just so easy to use," said Kelley. "When we learned that its volume-based pricing also would make it affordable for a small hospital, we were sold."
EXAM-PACS is the first PACS that is both technologically and financially scalable.
In particular, EXAM-PACS was selected for its robust features, among them built-in 3-D processing with EXAM-3D, ultra-secure Quad-Redundant Archiving, which saves four copies of every study, and CoActiv's 100 percent uptime service level agreement (SLA), ensuring that images will be always accessible when needed.
In part, EXAM-PACS also was chosen for its open Web-based architecture and worklist functionality that would easily enable transmitting images to Millennium. They also felt the PACS offered the features needed to support a hospital, not only an imaging center, and could scale well for a small facility.
CoActiv EXAM-PACS offers a full range of advanced functionality including 3-D processing.
Now seamlessly on board for image reading, Millennium radiologists are enthusiastic about the PACS. "After trying it, our radiologists were ecstatic," said Kelley. "They have worked on numerous systems but really raved about this one."
Noted Tariq Gill, M.D., president of Millennium Medical Imaging: "EXAM-PACS is an advanced system that delivers broad functionality and highly effective communications tools. Our radiologists have worked on many systems and are really happy with CoActiv."
At Ellenville, radiology lives large, thanks to CoActiv — but without paying a high price.

Home ECONOMY Kenya Shilling slightly weakens against USD
Kenya Shilling slightly weakens against USD
The Shilling has slightly declined to KSh102.11 per dollar from an average of KSh101 per dollar at the start of June.
Central Bank Governor Dr. Patrick Njoroge has refuted claims that the weakening of the Shilling is linked to the demonetization of the KSh1,000 note.
"The movement it has had over the last few weeks is not an issue," Dr. Njoroge told reporters during a press conference last week.
Just like CBK Governor, Citi Research does not expect a big change in the value of the shilling due to the introduction of new notes. "We expect no significant issues around the issuance of the new banknotes," read a report produced by the research firm.
Since 2015, the Shilling has been relatively stable. Citi attributes the stability to Kenya's diversified economy. The country generates its foreign income from a variety of sources like; agricultural exports, tourism, and manufactured exports.
The stability of Kenya's currency is expected to persist in 2019 and 2020 according to Citi Research. The country's foreign exchange reserves stand at $10 billion (KSh1.01 trillion) enough to cover 6.4 months' worth of imports. Dr. Njoroge has reassured the public that his team is prepared to handle any outcome.

Home > 45th Anniversary Celebration!
Attire: Please be aware that our Anniversary Banquets are not as casual as our meetings or weekend campout fests. Now, we don't want to get snooty, that would fly in the face of our unofficial 'sans couth' motto. But we do want to honor the occasion. So, as we did for the 30th, 35th, & 40th parties, we established a minimum code of NO SHORTS and NO TEE SHIRTS.
Tickets are $65 per person. Buy your ticket here: http://www.maltosefalcons.com/content/45th-anniversary-celebration-tickets  (Each member may purchase (2) tickets total - self + (1) non-Falcon guest).
Entry fee per person includes dinner, MF logo tasting glass, (1) door prize ticket for the chance to win some awesome brew gear, "unlimited" sampling of the fruits of our clubs' labors, dancing and entertainment provided by the Maltose Falcons' Brews Band and generally socializing with all of those crazy Sans Couth Falcons. We will also be installing the new Maltose Falcons Board of Directors.
If you are bringing kegs, PLEASE bring them as early as 4:00pm. The bar people will be there at that time unloading and assembling their bars, hooking up kegs, icing them down, etc. But they're part of the party, too, and need time to get cleaned up and changed into party clothes after all that sweaty work!
Each currently paid up Falcon may purchase one additional ticket for a non-Falcon guest. Please indicate your guest's name in the comment section of your purchase. Please be sure to print out your receipt and present at check-in as proof of purchase.

Changes in the rules of the game right before the election. The election year 2018 saw several changes to the legal framework on elections and referendums, contrary to good practice in electoral matters. These amendments were implemented in a non-transparent and hasty manner, with disregard for the provisions of the law on transparency in the decision-making process. One can also recall the change of the electoral system contrary to the recommendations of the Venice Commission and the OSCE. This allowed the use of administrative resources and consequently influenced the election outcome.
The use of administrative resources during the election period. There have been numerous reports of the use of administrative resources by the parties represented in elected bodies, both during the pre-election period, during the election campaign and on election day. Most notable examples include the government's assumption of responsibility for draft laws to meet the electoral promises of the ruling party; the involvement of government employees in online disinformation activities; multiple cases of organizing meetings with voters, usually employees of public entities, state and/or budgetary structures, during working hours; the involvement of state secretaries and chiefs of public authorities, presumed to be apolitical, in the electioneering; the use of local governments to promote the ruling party; the collection of signatures by public sector employees in support of election candidates; and the involvement of the presidency in the election campaign.
Voter corruption. The pre-election period, the election period and election day were marked by voter corruption activities, including activities of charity foundations affiliated to political parties, illegal gifts, the use of social security discounters and the organization and financing of the transportation of voters from the left bank of the Nistru River on election day by entities whose identities remained undisclosed. The authorities in charge did nothing to investigate and thwart these activities.
The limitation of Moldovan expatriates' right to vote and to file complaints. Expatriate Moldovans were denied the right to vote with their identity cards, the holding of which is mandatory. Citizens residing abroad were not allowed to vote based on expired passports, even though in 2014 the Supreme Court of Justice had upheld the CEC's earlier decision to allow voting with expired identity documents. The inconsistent practice of voting with expired identity documents, without proper and timely information of citizens, reduced the citizens' right to vote. The election administration did not guarantee the Moldovan expatriates' right to complain. The precinct electoral bureaus from abroad breached the laws in force and their obligation to register and examine complaints by refusing to register complaints and/or by returning them to the complainants, citing lack of competence.
The inconsistent resolution of electoral disputes and conflicts. On several occasions the election administration and the courts inconsistently applied laws regulating the resolution of electoral disputes and issued inconsistent decisions on seemingly identical cases.
Issues and errors in the State Register of Voters (SRV) and voter lists. There were many cases where the SRV data and voter lists were found to be inaccurate. Some reported that the voter lists included deceased persons, address errors or even were compiled inconsistently within the same administrative territorial units (in order of addresses or alphabetically). Notably, on several occasions, the voters were artificially migrated from one single-member constituency to another.
High ceilings for donations to parties. The legislature failed to align the law to Venice Commission and GRECO recommendations on the funding of political parties and election campaigns. Although in 2017 the ceiling for the funding of election campaigns was reduced to 50 and 100 average monthly salaries for individuals and legal entities, respectively, the donation limit remains above that recommended by GRECO.
Politically controlled media. Most big media outlets covered the election campaign in a biased manner, discriminating and differentiating between the election contenders. Several candidates enjoyed massive and exclusively positive coverage on certain monitored TV channels, while their political opponents received negative coverage. Some TV channels hosted election debates not on prime time, but early in the morning, when the audience was minimal. The late investigation of these cases by the Audiovisual Coordination Council did not allow adequate sanctioning and timely counteraction of the media's biased behavior.
A persistent under-representation of women, young people, people with disabilities and Roma people. Although the 40% gender quota for the party lists in the national constituency was observed, one could note a subversion of the principle of equal opportunities for men and women. Most women and young people stood on the lists in the positions that offered fewer chances to win the office of a deputy in the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova. The interests and needs of young people and people with disabilities rarely featured in the election platforms of the competing formations.
The intimidation of national observers and attempts to compromise civic education campaigns. For the first time since 2009, civil society representatives were intimidated and subject to unfounded accusations by the election administration, election contenders and local governments. Most notable cases included the CEC's decision to censure the Promo-LEX observation mission, the accusations brought against the same organization by some CEC members and the intimidation of the members of the civic group Occupy Guguţă, which provided election education. There were also reports of cases when the regular civic and apolitical education campaigns conducted by nongovernmental organizations had been qualified as electioneering in favor of certain candidates.
The intimidation of candidates and voters. There were public reports of numerous cases where citizens/supporters of certain political parties had caused altercations and clashes to thwart the meetings with constituents, and law enforcement officials had reacted late or had not reacted at all.

China loves the idea of fracking because it offers a low carbon alternative to coal, which currently provides about 70% of the nation's energy needs.
The US already has its own huge shale gas industry so really there should be no problem if China wishes to develop their own; however there is when China give no regard for ground water protection, or other environmental safety measures.
The biggest threat that facking holds is to China's meagre water resources. China has about 20% of the world's population, but only 6% of the world water, making it one of the water-poorest countries in the world. This water shortage is only exacerbated by the fact that 40% of China's rivers are heavily polluted.
2 Responses to "China Dismisses the Environment in Pursuit of Shale Boom"
"I am no expert and I'm certainly not going to go into the pros and cons of fracking here but can fracking really lead to water shortages? China already faces a water crisis but 13.8 million cubic metres is a tiny drop in the ocean in a country that currently uses 599 billion cubic metres of water a year – so initial fracking would use 0.0023% of the water supply in China."
Fracking forces geological fractures and fractures may connect aquifers with good water to those with saline water. Hence fracking can make aquifers unusable for consumption. Some aquifers are large geographically and may constitute very valuable resources. Often there are little data about the extent and interconnection of aquifers so that the risk of fracking is often largely unknown until after the event.

This was particularly the cry on the sister island of Virgin Gorda where residents believe the Bregado Flax Educational Centre (BFEC) is in dire need of maintenance work.
The call became very loud when teachers, parents and others in the community became aware that once again this year the school is being rented out for camping purposes.
"We are not against the kids programme that is on. Our point it that there are a number of serious problems with plumbing and other things that the Department of Education has been failing to address and now they have campers in there at a time when they should be more focused getting maintenance work handled," said an active Parent Teacher Association (PTA) member.
It was explained that the challenges being faced by the school have been getting worse from as far back as 2011.
Currently the school is being occupied by the Seventh-day Adventist's youth campers.
Many schools have long complained of being without basic supplies, including drinking water, toilet paper, and teaching aids.
Critics have slammed Minister for Education and Culture Hon Myron V. Walwyn for spending $1M on a wall around the Elmore Stoutt High School (ESHS) before the June 8, 2015 elections when that money could have been better spent on meeting the basic needs of schools.
He again? Everything is myrun this and myrun that.
So who else is it going to be? He is the minister of education, of course it's his fault.
Myrun to busy plotting his next move than to actually do his real job.
there is some serious irresponsibility going on in leading this country.
Community service needed to help the schools back to the old time days. We need the approval of the minister to assist the school. Paint,clean yards, plumbing, windows and doors need some work done let ask for material and community will do the work free of cost. Quality and skillful work Will be done. We have only a few weeks to upgrade the school. VG community band together to get things done they are a service oriented people and know how to go the extra mile. For years article stated this can come to an end this summer. Mr. Minister how can we help???????????????
@Community Service, Thank You. We as parents have to do our part and stop complaining and blaming. We as parents need to come together for our children and do what we can to improve our, yes, our school and our children schools. Each parent can donate a couple of gallons of water, hand soap/hand sanitizer, and a couple rolls of toilet paper to our children class. I am willing to do it. I'm going to be honest, the money I use on take out food every weekend I can buy some bottle water for the school.
Why do we have this cry every summer? Dont the Min of Ed do any forward planning and budgeting to get things done during the long vacation?
You all like making him popular. He even got the most votes last election.
There are many, many more but these two are glearing in my opinion.
Ok, he is not doing anything. Why don't the parents get together and get paint and other supplies and fix up the school. I am quite sure most of the parents knows how to paint and do carpenter work. Laying the blame is not going to help. Do it for the kids.
When I was living in the States, the school where my children attended, I was the President of the PTA. We would get the parents together on Saturdays and fund raise for the school. Trust me, the Schools in the States don't always have bathroom tissues, paper towels, hand soap, teacher aides or lunch monitors. At the beginning of the school year the parents get a list from the teacher asking you to donate paper towels, hand soap and hand sanitizer.
PTA is suppose to be a strong force in the school. ie... Fundraising is the number function of the PTA so that they can assist the teachers with classroom materials, graduation, school pictures, school trips etc. I would love to see the PTA BYLAWS.
Let us be real here, want to know why the toilet paper don't last in the school bathrooms? Most kids take the toilet paper and play with it They take the paper and make spit balls or wet the paper and throw it in the roof and it sticks to the roof.
Educating the populace at least through the secondary school level is a core government function is it not? Is education just putting teachers in a building? No. Does the MEC know that it takes safe and healthy facilities, consumables, equipment, infrastructure, good teachers........etc for effective learning to take place? Is quality foundational education a vital platform for economic growth and development? Since resources are limited, should not needs be prioritized? What is the Ministry of Education, Culture, and Youth priority? What is government priority in regards to education? Where is the Premier? Is education on his bucket list?
Is it true that teachers have to routinely buy supplies out of their own pockets? Teaching is a labour of love and this is a labour of love? Why does every building that government own always run down? Why can't government be good stewards of taxpayers investment? Does not owning facilities come with a stream of cost? Does not if you own it, you got to maintain it? Is maintenance a priority? Is not neglecting taxpayer investment in facilities gross negligence? As stewards of the public purse, should not government do a better job taking care of schools and other public assets? Should not someone be held responsible and accountable for this gross neglect? What is effective management?
In the 1970's it used to be the PWD responsible for maintaining the government buildings. This is a segment that should be brought back to practice. It will be better off for the schools maintenance to be in order all the time.
The kids should be walking into a learning environment. I hope the Minister makes an effort to get the classrooms painted. The walls look disgusting!
Sadly this has been a complaint for years under every government. I have been to quite a few PTA meetings in VG and have seen the plight of students and teachers alike and this was between 2000 and 2010. So it has been an ongoing issue. Let's seek solutions as it is more than clear that we all share the burden as tax payers, students, parents and teachers. 1. The ministry has its task and needs the funds to carry out its duties. 2. The ministry has to have a wholistic approach and it will require that some areas are more urgent than others. 3. The maintenance of government buildings should fall to Public works. 4. Head Teachers and staff should treat government property (buildings, toiletries) as valuable commodity. 5. Parents teaching their kids to value their education as well as environment (building, chairs). 6. Children showing the willingness to assist in the maintenance of the school by not destroying the desk, chairs, marking the walls. 7. As a community we must hold fast to a better standard throughout. If one area fails all fails therefore let us take care of the little for a while longer for the next set to come while the upgrades are in the pipelines.
News Flash!!! Parents better get up and do what they can to improve the school environment because Education has no plans to spend $$$.
I am sure of one thing, the campers would have the school much more cleaner and functional than they would have gotten it.


Water safety control is not good, how can food quality be good?
Food production enterprises have diverse water sources for production and complex health problems.
In all kinds of food processing and processing, water is not only an important component in the processing of products, but also used in the cleaning and disinfection of processing equipment, facilities and tools.
For example, mineral water, carbonated beverages, fruit juices, vegetable juices, milk, beer, and wine, etc., are mostly composed of water.
Water plays an important role in the manufacturing process of canned food, tofu, etc., and is one of the main components of the product. The main ingredients of confectionery, cakes, breads and biscuits are not water, but water also has an important impact on the quality of the product during its production.
Therefore, to a certain extent, water sanitation in food factories is an important part of food hygiene, and the quality of food is closely related to the quality of food processing water.
Before discussing the safety control of production water in food enterprises, let us first understand what are the requirements for food processing water?
5. The water quality should meet the standard requirements.
(4) Appearance: It must be colorless and odorless, and it does not contain visible substances, that is, it does not contain suspended solids, surface floats, sediments, microorganisms and immature larvae.
Next, we will discuss the safety control of production water in food enterprises. The shortcomings are welcome.
5.1.1.1 "It should be able to ensure that water quality, water pressure, water volume and other requirements meet production needs.
5.1.1.2 The water quality of food processing water should meet the requirements of GB 5749. Foods with special requirements for the quality of processing water should comply with the corresponding regulations. The water quality of food production water such as indirect cooling water and boiler water should meet the production needs.
5.1.1.3 Water for food processing and other water that is not in contact with food (such as indirect cooling water, sewage or wastewater) should be transported in completely separate pipelines to avoid cross-contamination. Each piping system should be clearly identified for differentiation.
5.1.1.4 Self-contained water sources and water supply facilities shall comply with relevant regulations. The sanitary safety products used in water supply facilities should also comply with relevant national regulations.
There are generally three types: seawater, self-contained water wells, and urban water supply; the latter two are more commonly used. The water quality of urban water supply is well controlled, but the price is higher, and the self-contained water wells are relatively cheap, but the water quality should be strengthened.
As far as the packaging drinking water industry is concerned, pure water and mineral water use urban pipe network, some are surface water or groundwater; natural water, (mountain) spring water, etc. all come from surface water or groundwater, and the mineral water comes from groundwater or self-flux. spring.
"The surface water or groundwater from non-public water supply system shall be used as the source water for production. The water quality shall comply with the sanitary requirements of GB5749 for drinking water sources; after the source water is treated, the water quality of food processing water shall comply with the provisions of GB5749"; The surface water or groundwater from non-public water supply systems shall be used as source water for production, and its water quality shall comply with GB 3838 or GB/T 14848.
Production water is generally stored through water storage tanks or water storage tanks, but the storage tanks should be strengthened. It is not suitable to use wooden covers and iron chains to seal them. (The seals are not easy to enter impurities); the water storage facilities should be cleaned and disinfected regularly. It can be put into use after passing the water quality inspection, and records of cleaning, disinfection and water quality inspection should be retained.
Due to the high cost of the water tower, it is also necessary to clean and disinfect regularly. For the general enterprise, a set of secondary water supply equipment can be considered. That is, in the same water supply system, multiple common pumps can be installed. When the water supply is relatively large, multiple pumps can be fully opened; when the water supply is small, only one or two units can be opened. This kind of random installation design not only ensures the water supply demand, but also saves the water supply cost.
Non-potable water can be used as boiler, fire protection and greening water for the factory, but the water supply lines for drinking water, non-potable water and sewage must be strictly separated, not collapsible with each other, and marked with obvious colors. The company shall formulate a detailed water supply network map. The water supply number shall be clearly indicated on the network map to clearly indicate the layout and direction of the water supply pipeline to facilitate the management and maintenance of the production water supply system.
The plastic soft water pipe used in the workshop is made of safe and non-toxic materials. It can not be used on the ground. After use, it is placed on a special rack. The anti-siphoning device is installed in the filtering device. It is located in the main water supply pipe of the workshop, which can effectively prevent the water from flowing backward. The distance between the water pipes in the workshop and the water surface is twice the diameter of the water pipe. The soft water pipe is not allowed to be directly inserted into the water tank.
The water used for the ingredients should be pure water. Another potential factor for water pollution in the food environment is water softening and deionization equipment. When the water has odor, it should first be considered whether it is caused. In this case, the coliform monitoring is negative. However, the total number of colonies is particularly high, and the softened water becomes cloudy or even black due to the contamination of a large number of bacteria; the treatment method is to frequently reflow the resin layer and replace it regularly.
The water used for the production of ice and steam must comply with the National Standard for Drinking Water.
The materials of the ice making equipment are not rusted and non-toxic, and the equipment for icing is clean and hygienic.
The piping for conveying steam shall be of non-rusting material and shall be hygienic and clean, and the piping shall be kept in good condition, strong and durable, and shall not leak steam to prevent harm to personnel safety and product quality. Use steam heating, not directly contact with food raw materials, you can use a sandwich pot to avoid too many cumbersome requirements. Steam is directly in contact with food, using filtered steam or clean steam, depending on process requirements and product quality.
The ideal water supply for raw material flushing is microbiological, neutral pH and low mineral content, including hot water (minimum 82 ° C or higher) and cold water, with high pressure requirements. However, different requirements are different depending on the conditions of use. In order to achieve the disinfection and sterilization effect, the effective chlorine concentration of the circulating water used for raw material flushing is generally 20~25ppm, the effective chlorine concentration of the sterilization cooling water is generally 3~5ppm; the residual chlorine concentration of the sterilization cooling discharge water is generally 0.5~1.0ppm; In the production process of fruit juice, etc., ozone water can also be used for soaking and rinsing of pipelines, production equipment and containers.
Before the discharge of sewage, relevant treatment should be carried out in accordance with relevant national standards (GB8978-1996 Integrated Wastewater Discharge Standard, etc.), and the sewage treatment tank should be away from the production workshop.
There should be a metal mesh cover for the drainage of the workshop and the outside world to prevent mosquitoes and insects. The outlets of the floor drain and the drainage ditch should use P, U, S type water seals with traps to prevent odor; and the sewage flow direction is cleaned by high The area is low to the clean area.
The water in the front of the sewage treatment of food enterprises is not whitish. In the final sedimentation tank, the water is somewhat whitish. The effluent detection is relatively low in ammonia nitrogen and COD. The drugs used are polyacrylamide, polyaluminium chloride, and light calcium powder and hydrogen. Sodium oxide regulates the pH.
Whether the influent water quality fluctuates or the composition changes too much. If there are more white sugars in the inside, it will be whitening. If there is too much organic matter, it is recommended to change the process. Flocculation is only a physical chemical reaction. Decomposable organic matter can not be processed.
During the production period, water samples should be collected from the production site for microbiological, turbidity, smell and taste, visible to the naked eye, pH and other items.
The effective chlorine in the circulating water of the raw material cleaning process and the effective chlorine in the sterilizing cooling water are measured once every hour, and the sterilization cooling water is tested once per pot.
The processing water shall be sent to the qualified inspection department at least once a year, and the whole project shall be inspected according to the standard (mineral source water shall comply with GB8537, and other source water shall comply with GB 5749).

The Daily Poutine, the spot located in Disney Springs that celebrates the quintessentially Canadian dish, is getting into the Irish Spirit with this limited edition offering! Just as the tweet says — fries covered in Guinness cheddar cheese sauce and topped with corned beef. That sounds really very Irish, and something that would pair well with a Guinness stout. Personally this is something I would eat, since potatoes go with just about everything. If you're heading to Disney Springs, be sure to give this a try before it disappears!

Part Three in a series on what the new fundamentals of marketing mean to DMOs and destination marketing professionals as inspired by the recent McKinsey article: "The Dawn of Marketing's New Golden Age".
McKinsey-Speak: Learn to relinquish control of stories as customers interpret and modify them on social media.
DMSpeak: Today destination story-telling is not about a special hotel offer or your newest attraction. It's about activating and enriching an ongoing marketplace conversation with content and perspective rather than trying to control it.
The Reality Check: According to Think With Google: 83% of people turn to social media sites for their travel inspiration while only 31% turn to destination-specific websites. And the gap is growing. The reason for that gap in my humble opinion comes down to one thing: TRUST. Most destination-specific websites are all about broadcasting offers and well-polished pitches about the latest and greatest experiences of their members/partners/stakeholders. They are not about what the best experience is for YOU…which is what you expect the people in your social media network to tell you. And you TRUST them.
Destination marketers struggle with the difference between selling and engaging. It's not that they don't understand the difference. They have been told that the quickest way to a transaction is to ask for the business. But the world has changed. To quote the Cluetrain Manifesto: "Markets are conversations. Their members communicate in language that is natural, open, honest, direct, funny and often shocking." DMOs need to join the conversation as an enriching participant rather than as a controlling broadcaster. The best way to do that is to produce relevant and authentic content.
What Does That Look Like: Brands everywhere are migrating their marketing strategy toward the generation of "stories" that showcases what their brand values and experiences are all about, engaging targeted users (through social media and live events) to comment, augment and even participate in the story. While some DMOs have succeeded wildly in their content marketing and story-telling (e.g. Tourism Australia's Best Jobs in the World campaign), most are reluctant to abandon the comfort zone of the broadcast offer mentality.
Last week Greg Oates wrote a great piece about how DMOs are beginning to deploy content strategies to engage their meeting planner customers. Marriott has been doing it "brilliantly" for two years. This includes their support of one of the most provocative travel storytelling places I know: Gone on Medium.com. Check it out.
Tourism Tofino: I've highlited the work of this small DMO before but their commitment to stories and user-generated content as their core marketing strategy is impressive.
Travel Oregon: Their home page is a collage of user-generated image content linked to Instagram. They also have a library of user-generated narrative stories about Oregon travel experiences…all written by real people just like you.
The Hack: One of the easiest and most effective story platforms for a destination is a blog. But I continue to shocked by how few destinations actually have one. Visit CincinnatiUSA has a fine example of using a blog to create stories that engage its customers, specifically meeting planners. And not an offer of dates, rates and space in-sight.
DMOs need to make the development of stories that engage their customers as their primary vehicle for creating inspiration and activating conversations about their destination. Its no longer about the offer. Or the product. Its about the story. And the conversation.
This Just In: Tourism New South Wales CEO Sandra Chipchase is pushing the DMO content marketing envelope and sees her organization becoming more like a publishing business: "For us, the biggest competition is not between the countries. It's about information. That's where the real battleground is. It's about how to get user-generated content and and get people to follow the aspirational content produced by people and the brand." (source: SKIFT via @SamShankman).
Thanks Padraic! I will definitely check it out. Hope to see you at IMEX.

A motivational speaker and engaging storyteller, I inspire people with the story of my journey from burned-out corporate manager to award-winning pilot
Easy-Up, Easy-Down
From the title of this story, you might expect that I will be describing my experience of learning how to take off and land an airplane. Not so – in fact there are no landings in today's story. In my next story "A Tale of Two First Solos", you will read about how I mastered the art of landing an airplane.
In Welcome to Oshkosh, I wrote about our first arrival at AirVenture and taxiing to the spot where we would be camping for the next week.
The next while was spent positioning the airplane, tying it down and setting up our campsite. Since we were inexperienced campers, we had fortunately purchased one of the new "Easy-up" tents. It works a bit like an umbrella, as the poles open out from a central point at the top of the dome and, there is a mechanism there that, once snapped into place, holds the tent open. We had it set up in no time, fastened to the ground with the ropes and tent pegs that were provided.
Camped next to us were AirVenture veterans Newell, Kay and their daughter Jenny, from Minnesota. We were lucky to have them to guide us, as we were totally unprepared, logistically. We had brought a cooler, but that was the extent to which we had considered the meal situation. Newell and Kay showed us where the closest restaurant was – a Hardee's – and told us about the grocery store and other restaurants a bit farther away. They also explained about the shower facilities and the transportation options.
Off we went to Hardee's for 'dinner', a delicious, mega-fat, fast-food experience. Hmm, we would have to go farther afield the next night to find something more compatible with our normal diet. After dinner, we went to the grocery store to buy ice and breakfast food.
By then, we were exhausted and ready for our first night in a tent. We slept beautifully!
On Monday morning, we awoke refreshed and excited about AirVenture's opening day! After a quick breakfast at the campsite, we donned our sunscreen, hats and walking shoes and headed towards the flight line! We had noted in the schedule that a Corsair (Jeff's favourite airplane) would be arriving at 10:00 a.m. As we approached the flight line, Jeff caught sight of the Corsair. We ran like hell and got there just in time to experience the Corsair's fly-bys and landing. To me, the Corsair was just an airplane, but I was getting caught up in the excitement of the moment and laughed with delight when the Corsair did a high speed pass. I glanced at Jeff to share in his reaction and was surprised to see him wiping his eyes! Totally out of character – he was more excited than I was!
Our first day at AirVenture was so fun! There was so much to do and see. It's huge! I had fully expected to spend much of my time sitting around the campsite reading my paperbacks, but I quickly realized that that was NOT going to happen. I won't try and describe all there is to do and see at AirVenture, and I certainly recommend that you visit the website to see for yourself. http://www.airventure.org/
Even better, go to Oshkosh!
After our first full day of AirVenture, we were exhausted! We had sore feet and we were starving! The sky was darkening, so we wisely grabbed our rain ponchos before heading out to the Mexican Restaurant that Newell and Kay had told us about – a 15 minute walk. While we relaxed over a delicious Mexican meal, we could see the sky getting darker and darker. Then came the rain, followed by wind and thunder and lightning. By the time we had finished our meal, it was raining hard and it was quite dark, as the sun had gone down – oops, forgot the flashlights! We put on our rain ponchos and went out into the rain.
As we approached our section of the campground, something looked not quite right. As we got closer, we realized that it was the porta-potties that were about 20 meters from out campsite. In the row of a half dozen porta-potties, only two of them were still upright – the rest had been blown over! Then we rounded the tail of our airplane and at first, we did not see our tent. Where did it go? Oh, there it was! But instead of being a dome shape with the dome at the top, our 'easy-up' tent, although still attached to the ground, was turned inside out, like an umbrella.
'Easy-up, easy-down'!
The tent was full of water. Our air mattress and duffle bags of clothes were almost floating in the bowl of water.
Fortunately, the 'easy-up' mechanism had not been damaged and we were able to get it back up again, so we at least had a roof over our heads. We slept in our only dry clothes – the ones we were wearing, directly on top of a bare air mattress.
Daylight revealed that we had fared better than some. The next day, we actually saw tents in the garbage dumpsters and we heard stories of people sleeping in their airplanes. Newelland Kay described how they had laid on their air mattresses with their feet up against the poles of the tent to prevent it from collapsing.
The day was hot and sunny, so we went to Target and bought rope and clothes pegs and strung the clothesline between the wings, struts, propeller and tail of the airplane and hung our clothes and sleeping bags out to dry. Jeff also reinforced the tent with additional ropes to prevent a recurrence. By that evening, we were back in business and we stayed dry for the rest of the week!
Next story….

Heavy security in Zimbabwe's Bulawayo as opposition challenges protest ban
Soldiers and police deployed in large numbers in Zimbabwe's second city Bulawayo on Monday to enforce a ban on an anti-government demonstration, as the country's main opposition party sought to overturn that decision in court.
The street protest was the second called in four days by the Movement for Democratic Change's (MDC), which accuses President Emmerson Mnangagwa's government of repression and economic mismanagement.
Authorities had also banned Friday's gathering in Harare, intended as the launch event of a nationwide protest movement. The MDC called it off, saying it aimed to avert bloodshed after police there rounded up its followers and dispersed them with batons and water cannon.
In a similar show of force in Bulawayo, an MDC heartland, authorities prohibited the march on Sunday and on Monday sent soldiers in trucks into the centre of the city and nearby townships, bolstering police who patrolled on foot and lorries, witnesses said.
Businesses remained open and residents circulated as normal in the city, however.
David Coltart, an MDC senator from Bulawayo and lawyer, called the ban "clearly unconstitutional and unjust", and told Reuters the party had lodged a court appeal that city magistrates would hear on Monday morning.
The MDC protest movement is rooted in Zimbabwe's worst economic crisis in a decade, and viewed as a test of Mnangagwa's willingness to tolerate dissent in a country tainted by a long history of repression under Robert Mugabe, its ruler for nearly 40 years.
Anger is mounting over triple-digit inflation, rolling power cuts and shortages of U.S. dollars, fuel and bread – bringing back memories of the hyperinflation of a decade ago that forced Zimbabwe to ditch its currency.

The sale of any asset in the eyes of the Internal Revenue Service is subject to CGT, including various forms of precious metals investing mechanisms. It makes no difference to the IRS whether you decided to sell your physical bullion, a few gold coins or shares in gold exchange traded funds, you are going to pay very high CGT on gold sale all the way up to 28%. Unfortunately, investing in any kind of physical precious metals or shares of ETF's is not treated as an investment in the eyes of the IRS and does fall into the "collectible" tax bracket along with art, antique furniture, objects and gemstones.
With any other type of investment like with common stocks, for example, you only have to pay 15% of capital gains tax but your CGT on gold sale will be as high as 28% if you decide to sell it after you have owned it for more than one year's term. Normally, CGT on gold sale is classified as a short term (less than a year) or long term (over a year) investment and is subject to capital gains tax varying from 15% to 28% depending on this factor. For example, if you've held your coins or bullion for less than a year, you are subject to CGT at a normal capital gains rate of 15% and if this term is over a year since the day of purchase, it goes up to a maximum rate of 28%.
Knowing how high CGT on gold sale rate is can make any type of precious metals investment unattractive and take the gold rush out of any investor. In addition, if you add up your actual gains, especially with a rather hefty gold bullion price today and subtract any gold ETF management fees or bullion storage and insurance fees, does your gold truly shine that brightly? At this point the best piece of advice is to account for CGT on gold sale before making any investment decisions.

Ipswich Town 2 v 3 Swindon Town
Town Return to Action Against Second-Bottom Swindon
Friday, 8th Jan 2021 14:36
Town return to action after an unexpected 25-day mid-season break when second-bottom Swindon visit Portman Road for a live Sky game (KO 5.30pm).
The Blues, who were last in action on December 15th when they beat Burton Albion 2-1 at Portman Road, are eighth following Accrington's 2-0 Friday evening win at Charlton. Town are behind Peterborough in sixth and Charlton in seventh on goal difference with a game in hand on the Addicks.
Since then the games against Peterborough away, Northampton at home and at AFC Wimbledon and Fleetwood have been postponed due to positive Covid-19 tests either among the Blues or the opposition club.
Eleven members of the Town first-team squad and staff tested positive just before Christmas but all eight players are now back in training, while manager Paul Lambert is set to take charge of tomorrow's match despite having been affected more than his players.
General manager Lee O'Neill was also among those to be hit more severely but is also on the mend and working again. Academy head of coaching and player development Bryan Klug also caught the virus but was less badly impacted.
All squad and staff were tested again on Tuesday with everyone negative.
The Blues will be looking to record back-to-back wins for the first time since October having been in stuttering form prior to their unplanned hiatus. In a form table based on clubs' last six matches Town are 17th.
Swindon, who were promoted back to League One as last season's League Two champions, are 23rd in the table and are without a win in six, losing five.
Their last game, on December 29th, was a 4-1 loss at home to the MK Dons, although prior to that they had drawn 2-2 with Charlton, also at the County Ground.
Since then manager John Sheridan, who took over as manager in November having previously been in charge of Wigan, coincidentally Town's other live Sky opponents this season, has tweaked his squad and Blues assistant manager Stuart Taylor says that will make the Robins more unpredictable.
"It's a difficult one because I don't think they're going to be the same team that's played in the last three or four weeks," he reflected.
"They've added three new signings and they've brought in another two that they've recalled from loan, so that's five new players coming in.
"I think we'll see a different team to what they've been for the last couple of weeks. Certainly we know they've got strength when they're attacking. They've got good players that are creative and we need to be aware of that.
"But it's really about what we do. It's our game plan, it's how we want to go and work and do our stuff in possession and out of possession. We'll stick to that, we'll have that belief and hopefully go and try and win the game."
Taylor believes the Blues will be a lot better prepared for Saturday than they would have been for the Fleetwood fixture, which was scheduled for Monday until positive Covid tests among the Cod Army led to its postponement.
"We tried to build up to the Fleetwood game which was tricky in terms of not doing too much and trying to save as much energy for that game as possible, he said.
"But once we got word of that being off it just let us open up and prepare for the Swindon game, which has been ideal.
"The training time has been really good and they're going into this game tomorrow in good shape.
"We're more match ready that we would have been if we were going into the Fleetwood game, that's 100 per cent sure. I think personally that would have been far too early to go and put lads [who had had Covid] in, after all they'd only been back training for less than a week.
"But the demands were put on us that we had to go and play the game and we were doing as we were told, whether we agreed with it or not we had to go and do it.
📺 Season ticket holders can watch Town's visit of Swindon Town this Saturday on iFollow.
The game is being shown live on Sky Sports, meaning non-season ticket holders will not be able to purchase match passes due to broadcast regulations.

— Ipswich Town FC (@IpswichTown) January 6, 2021
"But thankfully Fleetwood called it off, not thankfully that they've got cases, but thankfully they called it off so it gave us more time to prepare for the Swindon game."
Predicting Lambert's team is no easy matter with Freddie Sears ready for a return and James Norwood and Flynn Downes closing in on involvement and perhaps in line for inclusion in the squad, although it would seem most likely among the subs.
Five more players - Keanan Bennetts, Kane Vincent-Young, Gwion Edwards, Teddy Bishop and Jon Nolan - are set to return to training with the rest of the squad on Monday.
Dai Cornell is likely to be in goal with the centre-backs again probably ex-Swindon loanee Luke Woolfenden and Mark McGuinness with skipper Luke Chambers and Stephen Ward the full-backs.
In midfield, Andre Dozzell is likely to be in his usual deeper-lying role with Emyr Huws and Alan Judge perhaps also continuing as part of the three.
If considered ready, Downes may well play a part from the bench having suffered his knee injury away against the MK Dons on October 3rd.
Lambert may again opt to use Kayden Jackson wide on the right, having been pleased with the striker's display against Burton, with Sears perhaps in line for a return on the left.
In the lone central striking role, Lambert will choose from Aaron Drinan, Oli Hawkins and Norwood, if the former Tranmere man is considered fit enough for a start.
The Blues finally vanquished their Sky hoodoo when they beat Wigan 2-0 on the opening day of their League One season, ending a run of 16 matches without a win in front of Sky's cameras going back to December 2015.
Former Sheffield United full-back Kieron Freeman has joined Swindon on a deal to the end of the season in a busy few days at the County Ground in terms of comings and goings.
Left-back Dominic Thompson signed on loan from Brentford earlier in the week and midfielder Matty Palmer is back from a loan spell at Wigan.
The Robins have brought in goalkeeper Mark Travers on loan from AFC Bournemouth to replace Matej Kovar, who had been recalled by Manchester United.
Midfielder Scott Twine has been recalled from Newport County, while another midfielder, Jordan Stevens, has himself been recalled by Leeds United.
Keeper Joe Fryer and midfielder Toby Holland have both left the club this week at the end of their contracts and defender Luke Haines has rejoined Hereford for a loan spell.
Full-back Rob Hunt is suspended following his red card in the defeat to the MK Dons, while two other full-backs, Ellis Iandolo and Jonathan Grounds, remain injured. Jonny Smith and Hallam Hope are both available again.
The entire Swindon squad and staff were tested for Covid-19 on Tuesday with all results coming back negative.
Historically, Town have won 27 games between the sides (24 in the league), Swindon 14 (13) with eight (seven) having been draws.
Town and Swindon last faced one another in the Blues' 1999/00 promotion season from what was then the First Division (now Championship) in which the Robins were relegated to the third tier having finished 13 points from safety at the bottom of the table.
The teams met at Portman Road in the January when two goals from Richard Naylor added to a strike from Mick Stockwell on an afternoon when Town never really over-exerted themselves as they won 3-0.
Earlier in the season at the County Ground, in a game also shown live on Sky Sports, the Blues had won 4-1 with David Johnson and Richard Naylor scoring twice each after Giuliano Grazioli have given the home side the lead.
Town central defender Woolfenden spent 2018/19 on loan at Swindon making 36 starts and scoring two goals.
Robins striker Brett Pitman was with the Blues between June 2015 and July 2017, scoring 15 goals in 42 starts and 28 sub appearances. The 32-year-old moved to the County Ground in September having left Portsmouth at the end of last season.
Swindon full-back Zeki Fryers spent a brief spell on loan with the Blues from Crystal Palace towards the end of the 2014/15 season making two starts and one sub appearance.
Ex-Town manager Paul Jewell is the director of football at Swindon. Jewell was in charge at Portman Road between January 2011 and October 2012.
Fans were present for the Blues' last three matches prior to their unexpected break, including the last two at Portman Road, but games are once again now behind closed doors.
Saturday's referee is Sebastian Stockbridge from Tyne and Wear, who has shown 51 yellow cards and two red in 15 games so far this season.
Stockbridge's only previous Town match was another live Sky game, the 2-0 defeat at Accrington in October 2019 in which he red-carded Armando Dobra and Stanley defender Ross Sykes for an off the ball clash and booked Nolan, Edwards, Toto Nsiala and two home players.
He awarded a penalty against Nsiala which Colby Bishop netted and ruled out what looked a Woolfenden effort which had appeared to have crossed well behind the line.
Squad from: Cornell, Holy, Chambers (c), Donacien, Ward, Kenlock, McGuinness, Woolfenden, Nsiala, Dozzell, Downes, Judge, Lankester, Dobra, Sears, Hawkins, Jackson, Drinan, Norwood.

Lovely to see the lads back on our TV screen this weekend but dare I say that a few of us will be breaking our 'Dry Jan's for the tea time ride.
Time will let of course, but with the squad coming back together I'm strangely excited to see how the second half of the season unfolds.

I was a regular at the County Ground in the late 90s and we always seemed to come away with a big win. I can remember one of their defenders doing stepovers on the edge of his own area before losing it to Naylor for one of our goals in that last visit. At the time I didn't think it would be over 20 years before we returned. Let's hope we put in a good performance at PR tomorrow.

On the front foot you boys 3 points please
TractorFrog added 16:03 - Jan 8
We are only out of the playoffs on goal difference. We just need to get into the top six on PPG and then I would be happy for the rest of the season to be cancelled as it was last year. I actually think a reasonable idea would be to just finish the first 23 games, so everyone plays everyone once, not twice, and then end the season. There has been no home advantage, because there have been no fans, so not playing home and away isn't a problem.
TexacoCup added 16:23 - Jan 8
I'm seeing this as a big Reset - it seems the injuries are finally clearing up and if that continues to be the case, Lambert and the players will have no excuse if we don't push on into the top half of the top six. We do have the players to be a major force, whether we will be is up to them!
BangaloreBlues added 16:55 - Jan 8
@ TractorFrog.
I'd prefer to finish the season and let the football do the talking, and may the best team win.
If we can't get up there after 46 games we don't deserve to be.
Sad fans want to cut the season just to get a chance of promotion rather than on health grounds!
Aside from that, if PPG was applied now, Accrington would be champions!

i think its sad you dont recognise the serious situation the country is in Bangalore , unless of course you are in Bangalore .
BcarefulwhatUWish4 added 19:01 - Jan 8
Not much different for Swindon Town- who have basically played one game during that period.
@ dirtywhatever
What on earth are you talking about?
Why do I not recognise the serious situation?

He's putting football promotion over the Covid situation and you are having a go at me?
So fed up with the crap on this page, I'm done with it!

The Grim Experience of Becoming a Socially-Distanced Supporter by chazza
Second only to the terrible the footballing performance against Portsmouth comes the grim experience of becoming a 'socially-distanced' supporter.
Season's Beatings by Moggasknockdown
It is a bitterly disheartening experience supporting Ipswich. At every sliding doors moment in our recent history we have taken the wrong path, at every opportunity for schadenfreude an ex-player will decisively score, or create or generally remind us all that they are happier now, away from the depressing, soul-destroying experience that was their Ipswich career.

Q: Calculation of fundamental group using Van Kampen I'm taking an introductory course in topology and we have a homework exercise to compute the fundamental group of X =  $\mathbb{R} \big / \{-1, 1\}$ under the group action $\mathbb{Z}_2\times\mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ taking $(n, r)$ to $nr$.
The way I want to approach this is using the Van Kampen theorem(not explicitly stated). Is it correct to think of the equivalence classes of the quotient space as the set, $U$, of positive real numbers and the set, $V$, of negative real numbers (since we multiply by either 1 or -1)?
If so, since the union of $U$ and $V$ is X and their intersection is just $\{ 0 \}$, can we apply the Van Kampen theorem to said sets to conclude that $\pi_1(X) = \pi_1(U)*\pi_1(V) = 0$ in the sense that both $U$ and $V$ are both contractible spaces(or simply connected) and have trivial fundamental group.
An alternative approach would be to use the covering space theory, but I don't think the action is properly discontinuous since $\{0\} \cap n*\{0\} \neq \emptyset$, or any interval containing 0 for that matter. So I don't think that is a better approach. Any hint or clarification to how to use the Van Kampen theorem in this example would be appreciated!

A: Van Kampen doesn't seem like the way to go here to be honest. First of all, their intersection is not just $0$ under the equivalence relation, they are the same set, so this doesn't really work.
I think a better way to approach this is to find a space homeomorphic to the quotient space. Try $\Bbb R_{\geq 0}$.

That's me up there, Daniel Henry, Head Honcho at New Strength and 6-Minute Habit Hacks.
I'm a 3X USA Triathlon Age Group National Championships qualifier, 1X for the USASS (Snowshoe) Age Group Nationals, and in 2013, I represented the United States of America in Auckland, NZ at the ITU World Aquathlon Championships (swim/run), racing with some of the fastest age-groupers in the world as a member of Team USA.
From trail runs to marathons to Ironman® events, I'm an endurance sport junkie and a Type II Fun fanatic.
Basically, if it's outdoors and out of my comfort zone, I'm all over it.
But less than three years before ITU Worlds I could not climb a flight of stairs without breaking into a sweat.
While I was relatively fit in my twenties, over time my health deteriorated, and my weight fluctuated dramatically. I tried everything—diets, shakes, Jenny Craig, infomercial workouts, South Beach, Zone, Atkins, Paleo, etc.—and actually, they all worked, for a while. But the weight and fatigue always came back.
By the age of 44, I tipped the scales at just over 230 lbs., BMI 32, clinically obese. My cholesterol was 280, so I was on statins. My sleep apnea meant using a CPAP machine. I could not control my alcohol abuse, and I eventually found a therapist with a liberal prescription pad and was soon addicted to the anti-depressant merry-go-round.
Add raising two young boys, keeping a small business afloat and trying to be a sensitive, understanding husband, and you get the picture. I was a tired, fat, depressed drug and alcohol addict, at risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and a host of other ailments. I was on the elevator headed to the basement.
No bolt of lighting. No clap of thunder. Just an average man who looked up one day and said, "How did this happen?" It was time for a change.
Pulling a late shift at work one night I read a cryptic Facebook update. It read simply, "December. Time to start training for the STP." If you don't already know, the STP is the Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic, a 200-mile bicycle ride in July that about 10,000 people ride in one or two days.
Reading that Facebook post, I thought, how ridiculous! But I was in a rut, and I knew that nothing I did in that chair in that office was going to get me out of that rut. I didn't have the answer, but I knew that simply walking out the door—doing something different—would be a step in the right direction. I turned my focus from inward, to outward. And I let go of the outcome. It was a step of faith.
I dusted off my old, red mountain bike and headed down the hill. It wasn't pretty. Eight sweaty miles later I had to push my bike back up the hill to my house, exhausted and ashamed. I could only hope my boys and their friends didn't see me.
But two days later I went back out the door for another ride. And I just kept going back out that door.
Was it easy? Of course not. Some rides were so cold I couldn't feel my feet for hours.
But after six months of following a simple plan, replacing old habits with new, a raft of prayers, and a few profound discoveries along the way—on July 28, 2010 I finished the STP. With a smile!
You can do everything I have too, and more. It can start today.
Accept yourself right now, no matter how heavy or out of shape or depressed you feel. Own it and forgive yourself. God has. And He is the God of second chances, is He not?
Even if you've started a hundred times before, you can take that first step again. Today. In faith.
And if you don't know where to start or if you think you could benefit from the help of a coach and mentor who has been there; if you are serious about radical body transformation, get in touch with me. I've been there, I've helped others do it, I can help you do it too.
Along with my lovely wife, two boys, and our cat named Winston, I live just outside of Seattle in Washington State.
When I'm not coaching, writing or spending time with my family, you can find me swimming, biking or running single track in the Cascade Mountains.
I used to huff and puff just going up one flight of stairs. No more. Since working with Daniel I've lost 47 lbs. and I can run 10 miles a week, bike ride 100 miles a week, and swim over 700 meters a week. And just as important, I've found joy in exercise again. And all this at the age of 61!

The IRS has just published proposed new regulations under Section 2704 of the Internal Revenue Code that could significantly impact planning for estates that may be subject to estate tax. If finalized, the proposed regulations would change how transfers of business interests to family members are valued by eliminating certain discounts, disregarding restrictions in transfer agreements and adding attribution rules for family members. The proposed regulations will not apply to transfers to non-family members.
A public hearing on these proposed regulations has been scheduled for December 1, 2016. If adopted, the regulations will become final. A short window of opportunity exists to complete transfers of business interests to family members under the current rules.
If you would like to discuss the impact of the proposed regulations on your estate planning, contact any of our wills, trusts and estates attorneys at 239-344-1100 or by email to eric.gurgold@henlaw.com.
Eric Gurgold currently serves as Chair of the Estate Planning and Administration division and is Board Certified in Wills, Trusts & Estates by The Florida Bar.

The Conservatives should pull out of the current deal with property developers for the redevelopment of Botley's West Way shopping area, say the local Liberal Democrats.
The Lib Dems say that the Conservatives have failed to listen to, or act on, the serious concerns of the local community over the scale, design and make up of the plans.
"The primary responsibility of a council should be to work for and with local residents to ensure that local communities develop with full public support and involvement. Yet it is clear in this case that the Vale and the developers have failed to listen to or act on any of the substantive concerns of local residents," said Lib Dem Parliamentary Candidate Layla Moran.
The Lib Dem team are pressing the Vale's Conservative councillors to pull the plug on the deal and are also supporting the efforts of the non-partisan West Way Community Concern group to defeat the planning application for the site.
