This accessory cable was specifically designed for the Alpine Style system for Fiat Ducato. Since the regular camera cable is designed for a passenger car, the 10.5 meter cable length is not enough. This 5 meter cable extends the original camera cable to a total length of over 15 meter.


These are wonderful. First you toss them in a mix of balsamic vinegar and olive oil, then you grill them on both sides just until they soften and grill marks appear (at which point they are warm all the way through and just beginning to become jammy), then you remove from the grill and brush with pomegranate molasses. It's a match made in heaven. Serve while the figs are still warm, as a first course with goat cheese, or as a dessert with ricotta or yogurt.
Prepare a hot or medium-hot grill or heat a grill pan to medium-hot. Cut figs in half.
In a large bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar and olive oil. Add figs to the bowl and gently toss until they are thoroughly coated.
Place on grill or grill pan flat side down. Grill for 2 to 3 minutes (depending on the heat), until grill marks appear. Turn over using tongs or a spatula and grill for another 2 to 3 minutes on the other side.
Remove to a platter or sheet pan and brush each fig on the cut side with pomegranate molasses (you don't need much).
Arrange 2 slices of goat cheese and 2 to 3 whole figs (4 to 6 halves, to taste) on each of 6 serving plates, garnish with mint leaves, and serve.
Advance preparation: You can make this through Step 4 hours before you wish to serve, but you will have to reheat the figs, which you can do in a low oven. They should be warm. If you do this, you might want to brush with additional molasses.

Location: Adjacent to George Elliot Secondary School, 10241 Bottom Wood Lake Road, Lake Country BC.
David Jacob Harder's Ponderosa Sphere explores how the environment is changing in unforeseen ways as a result of industrialization, development and expansion. Rooted in an investigation of the growth and decay of organic materials, his practice creates avenues for physical engagement with animate and inanimate materials.
Ponderosa Sphere, a 10' orb constructed of metal and ponderosa wood and bark, lets visitors examine the structural poetry of the organic and inorganic. Inspired by the common use of natural materials for advancements in technology and engineering, Harder anchors this exploration to his own observed changes in the Thompson Okanagan landscape over time, and prompts us to consider how the built environment continues to impact the life cycle of the natural world around us.
David Jacob Harder is a Canadian interdisciplinary visual artist and curator. Born in Quesnel, British Columbia, he earned a BFA in Visual Arts, as well as a BA in Social History, from Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, BC. David has shown in numerous public exhibitions across Western Canada and the US and continues to develop his work in his home in Wells, BC.
The sculpture will be situated on the grounds of George Elliot Secondary School, 10241 Bottom Wood Lake Road, Lake Country, BC. The unveiling on April 7 is free event and open to the public. Ponderosa Sphere will be on display from April 7 – September 8 2018.


On 16th, May, Feigete has signed a pocurement contract with Bank of Kigali on usb fingerprint reader for staff authentication, the biometric authentication device is using high sensitive fingerprint recognition chipset with ISO19794-2/4 compatiable, it could be used on windows, android and linux OS, very popular among banks around the world.
Bank of Kigali was incorporated in the Republic of Rwanda on 22 December 1966. Initially Bank of Kigali was founded as a joint venture between the Government of Rwanda and Belgolaise, with each owning 50% of the ordinary share capital. In 1967, the Bank commenced its operations with its first branch in Kigali.
Belgolaise was a subsidiary of Fortis Bank operating in Sub-Saharan Africa and in 2005 began to withdraw from its operations in Africa in line with Fortis' strategy.
In 2007 the Government of Rwanda acquired the Belgolaise shareholding in Bank of Kigali, thereby increasing its direct and indirect shareholding in the Bank to 100% of the entire Issued Shares. In 2011, the Bank changed its name under the new law relating to companies from Bank of Kigali S.A to Bank of Kigali Limited.

The Budda of Bourbon. The Elvis of the whiskey world. A Bourbon rockstar. How does one earn such esteemed titles, you ask? Well, being a master distiller for 60 years and helping to shape the whiskey industry of today is how Jimmy Russell did it.
The Budda of Bourbon. The Elvis of the whiskey world. A Bourbon rockstar. How does one earn such esteemed titles, you ask? Well, being a master distiller for 60 years and helping to shape the whiskey industry of today is how Jimmy Russell did it. Russell has been building the Wild Turkey brand since he was in his early 20s, and Friday he is bringing his extensive bourbon knowledge to two Pensacola locations - Richey's East on 9th Avenue and Old Hickory Whiskey Bar.
"The fact that one of the most influential people in the industry will be visiting Old Hickory and Pensacola means a great deal to not only myself, but to our guests as well," said Katie Garrett, founder and owner of Old Hickory.
Garret's Palafox whiskey bar tries to bring in a different master distiller from around the country each month for their whiskey classes, but when Tim West with Campari, the company that owns Wild Turkey, approached her about the opportunity to bring Russell to Pensacola, she jumped at the opportunity. "Having Mr. Russell here will definitely be one of the most memorable classes we will ever host," said Garret. The offer came about from the relationship that Old Hickory has made with Wild Turkey over the years, having visited the Kentucky distillery several times.
Russell is not only a member of the Kentucky Bourbon Hall of Fame and the Whiskey Hall of Fame, but he is also the longest-tenured, active master distiller in the global spirits industry. He was even anointed a Kentucky colonel by three standing Commonwealth of Kentucky governors. "Jimmy Russell is a legend in the bourbon industry," said Richey's East Beer Manager Wayne Gibson. "Even people who vacation in Kentucky and haunt that distillery rarely get to see him, so this is really special for us."
Russell is the creator of three of Wild Turkey's distinct flavors -Rare Breed, Kentucky Spirit and Russell's Reserve, which he crafted with his son, Eddie. The title of master distiller will actually be staying in the Russell family, as Eddie was recently named his father's successor.
Richey's East was also able to get in on the action and will be having a bottle signing at their Ninth Avenue location, and the staff could not be more excited to meet the man behind one of America's most popular bourbon brands. "We get a lot of great events that happen throughout Pensacola, but it's very rare to get to sit down with someone that you basically celebrate with on a regular basis." said Richey's East 9th Avenue General Manager Teeka Seamon.
Richey's will be Russell's first stop, with their bottle signing running from noon to 1 p.m. Then he will head over to Old Hickory Whiskey Bar for a ticketed tasting, which has already sold out. But, if you'd still like to meet Russell, they will open the doors at 2 p.m. for a public meet and greet. Neither venue is charging extra for a signed bottle, and you can even bring your own bottle from home. Even though the tasting is sold out, you can still find Wild Turkey at either venue. As Gibson says, "Come on in, and get a Kentucky hug."

ADHD Comorbidities & Related Conditions
What Is Borderline Personality Disorder? BPD Symptoms, Treatments & Causes
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a Cluster B personality disorder that causes unstable relationships, emotions, and self-concept. Here, understand BPD's symptoms, causes, link to ADHD, treatments, and more.
By Tori Morales Verified Medically reviewed by Roberto Olivardia, Ph.D. Updated on September 15, 2022
Black-and-white man is clasping his head with hands, suffering from unbearable headache caused by stress and overwork, head is broken down to fragments, over depressive red background
What Is Borderline Personality Disorder?
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by instability in self-image, relationships, and emotions.
BPD is estimated to be the third most prevalent personality disorder, affecting about 1.6% of the global population1. Up to 20% of inpatient psychiatric patients have BPD, suggesting that people with BPD are more likely to require intensive mental health care2.
BPD is one of 10 personality disorders listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). Along with histrionic, antisocial, and narcissistic personality disorders, BPD is a Cluster B disorder, which causes affected individuals to appear erratic, emotional, or dramatic.
BPD Symptoms
Though symptoms may manifest in different ways, people with BPD experience at least five of the following:
Efforts to avoid abandonment. People with BPD fear losing relationships, and they may make seemingly excessive attempts to keep people close.
Unstable and intense relationships. People with BPD may become quickly infatuated with someone only to devalue them after a (real or perceived) slight.
Unstable self-image. People with BPD struggle to sustain a sense of self.
Impulsivity. In at least two areas, such as driving or substance use, people with BPD act in ways that are potentially self-damaging.
Suicidality or self-harm. People with BPD may display suicidal behavior, gestures, or threats. They may also self-harm. The risk for suicide among people with BPD is 40 times higher than it is among the general population.
Reactive mood. BPD causes unstable emotions, leading sufferers to intense, usually brief, emotional episodes in responses incongruent with their situations.
Chronic feelings of emptiness.
Inappropriate anger. People with BPD may experience disproportionate anger, leading to difficulty controlling their temper.
Stress-related symptoms. Stress can cause people with BPD to experience paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms3.
[Self-Test: Borderline Personality Disorder]
Other Signs of BPD
Though symptoms are used to diagnose BPD, the following associated features may help clinicians support a diagnosis. These can include:
Self-sabotage, especially just before the completion of a goal.
Psychotic symptoms, such as hallucinations, in times of stress.
A history of abuse, especially childhood abuse.
Reliance on pets and inanimate objects due to unstable relationships with people.
Increased risk for depression4.
Causes of BPD
While research is still ongoing into causes of BPD, there are factors that have been correlated with an increased risk, including:
Genetics. BPD runs in families, indicating that there is a likely genetic link. However, no specific genes have been identified as playing a role in BPD.
Abuse. Especially in childhood, abuse may increase an individual's chance of developing BPD. Sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse (particularly invalidating environments) and neglect are all risk factors for BPD.
Brain differences. People with BPD experience a disconnect between the brain centers that control emotion and behavior, causing some of their symptoms.
BPD and ADHD
ADHD commonly co-occurs with BPD, with 10% to 27% of people with ADHD meeting criteria for a BPD diagnosis5. Studies suggest that BPD is less common in people with inattentive ADHD. At the same time, people with ADHD, especially women, are sometimes misdiagnosed with BPD.
ADHD and BPD have similar symptoms, such as emotional dysregulation and impulsivity, making it difficult to differentiate the two conditions. However, stress-related psychotic symptoms and feelings of emptiness are unique to BPD, while hyperfocus and attention difficulties point primarily to ADHD.
New research suggests there may be a link between childhood ADHD and the development of BPD later in life. Severity of pediatric ADHD symptoms is correlated with severity of BPD symptoms in adulthood, according to a 2022 study from Scandinavia that found childhood impulsivity to be the strongest predictor of BPD6. The underlying reason for the link is unknown, though research is ongoing.

Treating BPD
Though once considered untreatable, BPD now has a range of effective treatments. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), a type of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), was initially developed in the 1980s by Seattle psychologist Marsha Linehan, Ph.D., specifically to treat BPD. A study published in Borderline Personality Disorder and Emotional Dysregulation found that three-quarters of patients no longer met the symptom criteria for BPD after undergoing DBT treatment7.
In addition to DBT, mentalization-based treatment (MBT), schema-focused therapy (SFT), transference focused therapy (TFP), and systems training for emotional predictability and problem solving (STEPPS) have been established as evidence-based treatments for BPD8.
In addition to psychotherapy, medication may be prescribed to treat specific symptoms. Antipsychotic medications, mood stabilizers, and antidepressants are commonly used in people with BPD, though there is doubt about the effectiveness of antidepressants outside of major depressive episodes9.

Stress Less is an initiative we've set up to offer students a variety of mindfulness-meditation sessions. The goal is to help students in navigating through stress-related issues and to aid them in gaining more peace of mind in academic life.
As CDO Team we are proud to present our new initiative called Stress Less. Stress Less helps answer a great need among students for support in navigating the high levels of pressure and stress that they sometimes face during their academic careers. Stress Less offers students meditation sessions in order to support them throughout their studies and to make the UvA even more inclusive and welcoming.
We fully acknowledge the fact that meditation sessions don't offer a solution to why stress is present in the first place. There are still deep causes of pressure amongst students, for instance, the financial cuts from the government, the high workload for teachers and students being pushed to finish their studies as soon as possible.
Nevertheless, we want to offer these sessions to students because we believe that peace of mind is beneficial in all situations, not just in academic life. We also want to focus on the intersectionality of mental health and provide students from all different backgrounds a safe space in which we can share experiences and empower each other through the struggles we might face.
Free sessions that are suited for students who try to better balance academic performance, work productivity, physical and emotional wellbeing, social responsibility, and overall stress.
Workshops or guest lectures for courses and programmes within the UvA. This contains an introduction to meditation for students.
* All sessions are guided by a professional, licensed meditation trainer.

Best Instagram Alternative Apps
Last updated on August 14, 2018 by Ryan Victoria
Instagram is one of the most famous and reliable photo sharing apps on the market. Regarding the characteristics of this tool, you can easily distinguish this app in its square image format and nostalgic filters. Instagram has become quite famous as it can help you edit your photos and create stories out of these pictures, while you can even save the Instagram photos and videos that you like. However, this app has few limitations that need to be mentioned, as including that it cannot be run on Windows, Blackberry, and Linux. Aside from that, you are not able to edit the privacy of a specific photo, so all of your posted photos are either going to be public or all of them will be kept in private mode. There are a lot of amazing programs by using which you can save and share photos and you can enjoy some unique features that Instagram doesn't offer. You may browse through this article to select the best apps like Instagram that matches your taste.
7 Best Instagram Alternatives
Facebook is one of the most popular social networking platforms around the world. Via using this app, you may edit the specific privacy of your status, photos and videos, you may select if you want to share them with everyone viewing your profile, or only with your friends, while you can even keep them private. Recently, this app also added an additional feature called Marketplace. The Facebook Marketplace allows its users to view, buy and sell items in their local community. By adding this feature, Facebook became one of the most relevant places not only to share photos and connect people around the world but also to do online business. This program would be the most flexible among all of the Instagram alternatives apps.
Connects people around the world
Great source of information
Can be used efficiently to promote your business
Lack of privacy
Many fake accounts are in the system
Prone to malware and viruses
Another interesting Instagram alternative is called Twitter. This is an online social networking platform where people can connect with others by making use of short content messages called Tweets. Many celebrities and famous personnel are using this app, where you can easily follow them and learn their stories by following their main account. Aside from that, you can also create your own tweets and share photos with your friends. This platform also offers some of the available filters that you can also find in Instagram. Moreover, Twitter on iPhone has a built-in editor for photos that is an additional super function.
Highly interactive
Accessible in any platforms
Support keyword searches (hashtag feature)
Only allows users to post 1 picture at a time
Lack of privacy security
Tumblr is another free social networking platform like Instagram. It is famous for offering its microblogging interaction. Unlike some other social networking platforms, on Tumblr, you can only create a short content post where members can post text, images, videos, links, and audio files. Moreover, this program is available in all popular mobile operating systems. It is also accessible on Mac and Windows PC. The dashboard feature of this app allows the users to search blogs or visit and follow other users easily.
A good place to read updated news
It is easy to find people who have the same interest as yours
Unintuitive interface
Difficult place to promote business
Snapchat is a brilliant alternative to Instagram. This is a multimedia messaging app for iPhone and Android users. You can share your photos from here easily. In this app, you can set the time of your chat visibility. Aside from that, what separates Snapchat from the rest is that all photos and videos being shared will disappear in a few seconds after being viewed. When it comes to capturing photos, this app has a variety of filters that you can use to make your capturing experience more fun and enjoyable.
Notifies you when somebody takes a screenshot of your post
Good for photo editing
Finding your friends isn't so easy as Facebook and Twitter
Can't review message history
The next Instagram alternative is Vero, which is an emerging social networking platform launched last 2015. The mentioned image-sharing app reportedly became the most downloaded social networking platform in 18 countries. In case you are looking for an ad-free community, this is the best choice for you. Due to popular demand for this app in other countries, it extended its "free for life" offer for every new member.
Ads-free
No algorithm
Posts are in chronological order
Only available for Android and iOS users
The privacy of your uploaded images is not guaranteed
Diaspora is a nonprofit social networking platform similar to Instagram that you can share your status, images, and see other people's comment on the material. This tool also ensures the users that it will not sell its member's information to advertisers. However, unlike the other social networking programs above, it has few users. This program is not widely known in many countries.
Secured privacy
Good image quality
Flexible like Facebook
Very few users
Complicated for new users
Flickr is another one of the best apps like Instagram. It is a photo and video-hosting program that is acquired by Yahoo in 2005. You can easily upload, edit and share your photos and videos via this platform. It is also available on all commonly used devices such as Android, iOS, Windows, and Linux. What makes Flickr different compared to Instagram is that it focuses on the appreciation of photography. If you are a photo enthusiast, this community is absolutely for you.
Great platform for photography enthusiasts
Provide professional photo editing tools
Some functions are limited on Mac systems
Monthly limit on usable storage for free users
The programs mentioned above are the best apps similar to Instagram. Each of these programs has their own advantages and disadvantages compared to Instagram. This article can be used as a reference when choosing an alternative that suits your taste.

This is a sobering fact of life for most actors. While many actors enter the profession dreaming of fame and riches, the fact is that only a tiny handful of actors ever achieve it. After all, there's a reason we all know a famous name like Brad Pitt. It's because his success is unique – so unique, in fact, that we actually have the time to learn his name.
Of course, we forget that there were many actors who competed with Brad Pitt for his earlier roles. Many of those actors continue to be nameless and faceless.
However, this fact can either be depressing or encouraging, depending on your prospective. If you are the type who runs toward a challenge, instead of running away from a challenge, this fact will not deter you. It may, in fact, make you work even harder. And, think of the joy and sense of accomplishment you'll have when you become one of the top-earning 20%.

Former school transformed into training center for electrical apprentices
By Denise Allabaugh, Staff writer / Published: January 21, 2018
WARREN RUDA / STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Jeremiah Marvin, left, and Ernesto Tapia examine sample wiring worksets at the IBEW Local Union 163 Training Center in Nanticoke.
NANTICOKE — Since he was young, Wilkes-Barre resident Mark Gatusky wanted to be an electrician.
Both his grandfathers, his father and uncles were electricians and part of International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local Union 163.
Gatusky, 37, said his family wanted him to try going to college first, however.
He went to the University of Scranton, earned a master's degree in history and subsequently worked in the health insurance business for years. He often traveled, didn't see his family enough and he said the return on his investment "just wasn't there."
Then, he decided to follow his dream to become an electrician.
Gatusky is in his final year of a five-year electrical apprenticeship where he gets on-the-job paid training as well as education at a training center that opened last year at 41 W. Church St., Nanticoke.
He has done electrical work for projects ranging from a water park to natural gas power plants to the PPL Center, an arena in Allentown.
Pointing out that he earns a higher salary with better benefits as an electrician, Gatusky said, "I found myself much happier doing this and working with my hands."
"It's a creative way to make a living. No day is the same," he said. "You could use your mind, be creative and have a living that you could have pride in, not only from a paycheck perspective, but you could look at a building and say, 'You know what? I did that.' "
The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Union 163 and Penn-Del-Jersey chapter of the National Electrical Contractors Association turned the former St. Stanislaus Catholic School in Nanticoke into a training center for electricians.
Gatusky is one of 57 apprentices in the program.
Training director John T. Nadolny said there is no cost for a five-year electrical apprenticeship.
Prior to opening the new training center, they rented space from Luzerne County Community College, he said.
Apprentices in the program receive technical training on Monday and Wednesday nights for three hours and occasionally Saturdays from September to April as well on-the-job paid training with contractors.
Their starting pay is about $12 an hour plus benefits for the first 1,000 hours. Electricians have the potential to earn more than $34 an hour plus benefits for an entire family, he said.
"You earn while you learn and at the end, you get college credits," Nadolny said. "You can go for an associate's degree, a bachelor's degree or a master's degree and get up to 60 credits for this five-year program."
Over the five years of the program, Nadolny said apprentices receive 8,000 hours of on-the-job training.
"This isn't a job. It's a career," he said. "It's not for everybody. It's hard work. It's very dangerous work. We teach them how to be safe."
Electricians do outside work and inside work ranging from wiring homes, schools, hospitals, arenas and commercial, industrial and manufacturing facilities to lighting protection.
The future for electricians is wired for growth.
Nadolny said there is a big demand for electricians. Good candidates have mechanical knowledge and are dependable, he said.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of electricians is projected to grow 9 percent over the next eight years. As homes and businesses require more wiring, more electricians will be needed.
Becoming an electrician is a good high-paying alternative for interested applicants who don't want to take on the high debt of college, Nadolny said.
"Unfortunately, many of people who go to college end up with a quarter of a million dollars of debt when they're done and they work at McDonald's," he said. "College isn't for everybody. Maybe some would do better in the trades."
Mountain Top resident Jillian Henderson, 31, is in her first year of the electrical apprenticeship.
While being an electrician is not a traditional career for women, Henderson said she loves to work with her hands.
"You get to use your hands and your brains. It's the best of both worlds," Henderson said. "My father is a contractor so it runs in the family."
Wilkes-Barre resident Ernesto Tapia, 27, who also is in his first year of the apprenticeship, said he also loves working with his hands and doing something different every day.
"I can't stay in one spot," Tapia said. "I can't sit inside. I've got to do different things, work inside and outside."
People can apply for the apprenticeship on the first Monday of each month between 1 and 6 p.m. at 41 W. Church St., Nanticoke. Applicants must be 18, be a high school graduate or have a GED and receive a satisfactory score on a Joint Apprenticeship and Training Committee test and resident in the Local 163 jurisdiction, which is mostly Luzerne County. For more information, call 570-258-2665
IBEW Local 81 has a training center with the same program in South Abington Twp. for Lackawanna County residents. For more information, call 570-319-1721.

Student-Led Civil Rights Demonstrations
The roots of the Black Panther Party were laid in various civil rights organizations in the 1960s, in particular the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). The SNCC was founded in April 1960 by college students involved in the sit-in movement, in which black students protested segregation by sitting in white-only sections of department store restaurants. The organization's founding conference was attended by student delegates from sit-in centers and colleges around the country, as well as members of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE), and the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). The SNCC focused on sit-ins and other nonviolent direct action protests, including the Freedom Rides of 1961, which brought attention to the non-enforcement of Supreme Court cases that determined segregation unconstitutional on public busses, registering black voters, and the 1963 March on Washington. The organization's efforts to support federal protections of the voting rights of African Americans and other minority groups culminated in protests in Selma, Alabama and marches from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama in 1965.
Roots of the Black Power Movement
After the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed, SNCC members led by Stokely Carmichael helped black community members in Lowndes County, Alabama register to vote. This led to the founding of the Lowndes County Freedom Organization, which used a black panther as its symbol. In 1966, Stokely Carmichael replaced John Lewis as chairman of the SNCC, and advocated for the organization to shift away from its principles of nonviolent direct action towards a more militant approach in line with the beliefs of Malcolm X. During this time, Carmichael wanted to reorient SNCC as a "Black Power" organization and wanted to end interracial collaboration. After Carmichael spoke about the Lowndes County Freedom Organization's self-defense efforts and use of a black panther as their symbol at a Black Power conference in Berkeley, California, Huey Newton and Bobby Seale decided to use the black panther symbol and form the Black Panther Party for Self Defense. Carmichael stepped down as chairman of the SNCC in 1967, was replaced by H. Rap Brown, and became the Black Panther Party's Honorary Prime Minister in February 1968. In 1969, the SNCC distanced itself from the Black Panther Party. In 1970, the SNCC effectively dissolved and the Lowndes County Freedom Organization merged with the Alabama Democratic Party.

In order to make our ladder product line complete, we have also added a light marine boarding ladder. Ultra-light carbon fibre frame together with dual titanium hook allow ladder to float while maintaining excellent mechanical endurance.
Universal threaded inserts allow installation of our standard stand-off extenders and titanium anchoring eyes at the bottom end of stiles allow installation of extending wire or rope ladder.
Consisting of 4 sections with 3 easily replaceable clamps, this compact and light telescopic pole allows not only lifting of LADCARB MARINE boarding ladders, but thanks to the universal top adapter with an M8 threaded insert it is compatible with other accessories (e.g. a camera gooseneck, hook BT lifting adapter and others). All materials tested for use in a marine environment.
Thanks to the combination of marine/grade stainless steel wire rope and clamps with AFL carbon fibre rungs, these ladders are very strong and light. Rungs are covered with rough anti-slip tape preventing skidding under all circumstances. Carefully selected dimensions allow connecting of ladders without any change of the rung spacing. All materials tested for use in a marine environment.

Panel rules Uber discriminated against blind Maine woman
A panel in Maine has ruled that Uber discriminated against a blind woman when a driver refused to give her a ride because she was traveling with her guide dog
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) � A panel in Maine has ruled that Uber discriminated against a blind woman when a driver refused to give her a ride because she was traveling with her guide dog.
The Portland Press Herald reports the Maine Human Rights Commission voted Monday that Uber discriminated against Patricia Sarchi, of Falmouth, because of her visual impairment.
According to a commission report, a manicurist called Sarchi an Uber after an appointment in January 2017. The driver told Sarchi he could not give her a ride because she had her guide dog.
The ride-sharing company later charged Sarchi a $5 ride cancellation fee.
Uber argued it could not be held responsible because its drivers are independent contractors.
The company did not respond to the Press Herald�s request for comment Tuesday morning.

Most of the people using Internet connection at home are using Wi-Fi connection when they are at home to connect everything from their tablets to their smartphones in one connection. However, using Wi-Fi connection in a home often becomes frustrating for the users. Why? Wi-Fi signals are often plagued by poor connection, bad reception, and slow speed.
Use the latest Wi-Fi technology: Check whether you are using old and outdated hardware and poor network connections. If required, you need to buy a new router and ask your internet connection provider about the signal and the speed of the connection that you are getting. According to experts you will need a wireless N router and a card in your laptop. Doing this will increase the speed of the Wi-Fi connection.
Where do you keep the router? Check whether you have hidden the router inside a cabinet or behind a stack of books simply because you do not like the look of it. You need to keep the router in an open area for it to catch signals properly. Find out an area in your home where there is no obstruction. The antenna of the router should be kept perpendicularly. You may also keep the router at an elevated position in the house. Try the attic and you may get better signals from there. If you want the signal to reach every corner in your home, you must keep the hardware in a central area in your home.
The right wireless channel is important: Is your neighbor's router interfering with yours? This may cause your signal to degrade. You can choose tools like Wi-Fi Analyzer to choose a channel for your router which will have as little interference as possible. Ask your Internet service provider to help you with that.
Interference from other appliances: Your neighbor's router is not the only device that can disturb your Wi-Fi signals. There are many things in your home that can interrupt the signal. Cordless phones, microwaves, and OTGs can cause disturbance in the signal that the router catches. You can either buy cordless phones on different bands so that the signals do not collide or can also buy a dual band router for your Wi-Fi connection. You can even try moving your router from the appliances that can cause disturbances.
Secure your Wi-Fi connection: Are you sure that your neighbor is not stealing your Wi-Fi connection? You must have secured your connection with a password. But, hacking that password is pretty easy and almost anyone with tech skills can do that. It is important to have a WPA password. There are list of other things that can help you to completely secure your Wi-Fi connection. Ask your Internet service provider.
You may control bandwidth hogging applications: Activities like video chats, playing online games, and downloading movie as torrent files take away a lot of bandwidth of your connection. Thus, if your child is playing online games, Internet will be slow for everyone else. What can you do in such a situation? You can choose the option "Quality of Service or QoS to control these bandwidth hogs better. With this option you will be able to prioritize a video call over online gaming. Thus, the important applications and activities get the most bandwidth.
Try DIY tricks to increase Wi-Fi: If the range of your router is not very far, you can definitely improve its signals by applying some DIY. Guard the side of the signaling antenna with a cut beer can or a tin plate and your signals will reach further with minimal efforts.
Buy repeaters: If you live in a big house, chances are that the Wi-Fi signals will not reach to the farthest corners of your home. The easiest way to boost signals to each and every corner of your home is to use a repeater. A Wi-Fi repeater increases the strength and range or the signal manifold. However, if you are connected with the repeater you may experience a slow Internet speed. It goes away as soon as you reach the area covered by the router.
Try these hacks to improve Wi-Fi signals at home. One among these will definitely work in your situation.

A planned engineering college could be a huge step towards tackling the region's skills shortage, it has been claimed.
The University of Warwick is proposing a new college backed by Jaguar Land Rover, Aero Engine Controls and Arup, which have had difficulty recruiting staff with the right abilities.
The university technical college (UTC) in north Solihull is being spearheaded by the university's Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) and follows a first college due to open on the university's Coventry campus in September.
If given the go-ahead by the Department for Education, work on the Solihull college could start this year ready for a 2016 opening.
An initial unsuccessful bid was submitted to the DfE earlier this year but WMG said it had now received a favourable response, prompting a follow-up bid within months.
The new college would cater for 640 students and join the 50 or so other UTCs already open or in development.
It would be run by WMG, with Solihull Council represented on its governing body and partners Jaguar Land Rover, Aero Engine Controls and Arup having a role in shaping its curriculum.
Dr Richard Hutchins, chief executive of the WMG Academy Trust, said: "The recovery of the economy is largely being built on the back of strong manufacturing and the engineering sector, particularly in the Midlands, with the resurgence of companies like Jaguar Land Rover but also aerospace.
"For those companies and suppliers to continue to thrive and grow and create wealth they need a workforce fit for the future.
The Solihull UTC would be modelled on the university's Coventry scheme, which will cost £11 million.
"Whether they come in as an apprentice or at graduate level they want them to have a broader set of skills in terms of problem solving and teamwork and an awareness of how business works. These schools are designed to give people those.
The DfE would provide capital funding for the project, as well as funding on a per pupil basis and it and Solihull Council would also provide 'seed corn' funding.
