Q: Django Generic Views using decorator login_required I'm new with django and I finished the 4 part tutorial on djangoproject.com
My problem is I want to put a login authentication on my polls app. I've use the decorator @login_required and it works properly but under my views.py I have only vote() method.
my views.py under "polls folder"
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response, get_object_or_404
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect, HttpResponse
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required
from django.views.decorators.cache import never_cache
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from django.template import RequestContext
from polls.models import Poll, Choice

@login_required
@never_cache
def vote(request, poll_id):
    p = get_object_or_404(Poll, pk=poll_id)
    try:
        selected_choice = p.choice_set.get(pk=request.POST['choice'])
    except (KeyError, Choice.DoesNotExist):
        return render_to_response('polls/detail.html', {
            'poll': p,
            'error_message': "You didn't select a choice.",
        }, context_instance=RequestContext(request))
    else:
        selected_choice.votes += 1
        selected_choice.save()
        return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('poll_results', args=(p.id,)))
    return HttpResponse("You're voting on poll %s." % poll_id)

my urls.py under "polls folder"
from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url
from django.views.generic import DetailView, ListView
from polls.models import Poll

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^$',
        ListView.as_view(
            queryset = Poll.objects.order_by('-pub_date')[:5],
            context_object_name = 'latest_poll_list',
            template_name = 'polls/index.html'), name='poll_lists'),
    url(r'^(?P<pk>\d+)/$',
        DetailView.as_view(
            model = Poll,
            template_name = 'polls/detail.html'), name='poll_details'),
    url(r'^(?P<pk>\d+)/results/$',
        DetailView.as_view(
            model = Poll,
            template_name = 'polls/results.html'), name = 'poll_results'),
    url(r'^(?P<poll_id>\d+)/vote/$', 'polls.views.vote'),
)

under my urls.py I have use generic views.
Problem is: how will I put login required under the "index" of the polls app. So that the user will login first before he/she can view the available polls.
Current is: I have used login required under my views.py and method vote(), It will require login after voting.
anyone can help me out?
Thanks,
Justin

A: 1nd approach
In urls.py:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^$',
        login_required(ListView.as_view(
            queryset = Poll.objects.order_by('-pub_date')[:5],
            context_object_name = 'latest_poll_list',
            template_name = 'polls/index.html'), name='poll_lists')),
)

2nd approach
In views.py:
class IndexView(ListView):
    queryset = Poll.objects.order_by('-pub_date')[:5]
    context_object_name = 'latest_poll_list'
    template_name = 'polls/index.html'

    @method_decorator(login_required)
    def dispatch(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        return super(IndexView, self).dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs)

then in urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('',
        url(r'^$',
            IndexView.as_view(), name='poll_lists'),
    )

A: Just providing a potentially more up-to-date answer,
I would move them to a views file and use the LoginRequiredMixin,
from django.views.generic import (
    ListView,
    DetailView
)
from django.contrib.auth.mixins import LoginRequiredMixin

class PollsListView(LoginRequiredMixin, ListView):
    model = Poll
    template_name = 'polls/index.html'


Just after some more opinions / perspectives of baits for gummies, Specifically around Balnarring,Somers,Pt Leo. I have been using Fresh Salmon that I've been catching down at Mordi pier & Invy. Now, I know Freshly caught yourself is best, but can't always go out and catch. What's another good alternative?
Do Market bought Fish work just as well? Really don't want to use pilchards. Any tips would be great, cheers guys!
Squid. If you can get on to slimies or yakkas they are great. Eel is always good also. What's wrong with pillies?
Squid. Both fresh and frozen, got my last one on an arrow squid ring.

Cheers mate. Just prefer a hardy bait that'll stay on. Frozen Squid?

Seems like squid is a goer, ill try frozen if i can't get one on monday. hang bait or two hooks with the squid ring? cheers!
How come no ones suggested the big Safeway raw prawns ? cheap and they always come up as gummy baits when asked about..

For gummies, most have mine have been on a single 8/0 gamma occy circle, with a squid ring.
twin 4/0 suicides are good early season when the snaps are a bit timid, and just mouth the baits.

Bought baits, Yeah, definate, think the post was more about caught baits though.


Quan 7 in Ho Chi Minh: Bonifacio Global City of Vietnam?
It was the first time I went to District seven (Quan 7) in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam and I appreciated its big difference from the other districts. Roads are wider, apartment buildings are much more spacious and Taps are available cold or hot, and traffic is not as congested as in other districts even during rush hour. District seven, they say is like the Bonifacio Global City of Ho Chi Minh and it does seem like it. It has spacious and relaxing grounds, with tall buildings and some malls, many high class stores and restaurants. This would be a great place to stay when you're in Vietnam if you have friends who live in the area.

When I was in university, a pub owner offered me a job as bouncer. He reasoned that folks would be less likely to get into a brawl with a friendly female than they would a large hairy bloke. Always a sucker for a social science experiment, I gamely took the job. One black eye and a wrenched shoulder later, I quit. What my boss and I hadn't fully appreciated is that by the time a person needs to be removed from a bar, his or her capacity to discriminate who is doing the removing has vanished. When the urge to fight erupts, any target will do.
I shared this story with Fred Sharpe, a humpback whale researcher with the Alaska Whale Foundation, and he described the remarkable capacity humpback whales have to do just what those drunks could not—hone their aggression. "The bulls love to fight. It's like Saturday night in the Octagon," he says. "You'll be in a whale watch boat and all these males will be thrashing on each other. They're bloodied and so charged up, and the fact that they don't redirect all that agitation towards the occupants of the boat is remarkable. With a lot of predators, if you got in the middle of that, it would be aimed at you in an instant. Humpbacks are these amazing Buddhist warriors."
Ascribing Buddhist-like qualities to humpbacks seems particularly apt in light of recent revelations about how these large baleen whales use their superpowers for good. Humpbacks, it turns out, deliberately interfere with attacking killer whales to help others in distress. They don't just defend their own babies or close relatives. They intervene on behalf of other species—a gray whale calf with its mother, a seal hauled out on an ice floe, even an ocean sunfish. Humpbacks act to improve the welfare of others; the classic definition of altruism.
First-person accounts of animals saving other animals are rare. Robert Pitman, a marine ecologist with the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, describes a pivotal encounter he witnessed in Antarctica in 2009. A group of killer whales washed a Weddell seal they were attacking off an ice floe. The seal swam frantically toward a pair of humpbacks that had inserted themselves into the action. One of the huge humpbacks rolled over on its back and the 180-kilogram seal was swept up onto its chest between the whale's massive flippers. When the killer whales moved in closer, the humpback arched its chest, lifting the seal out of the water. And when the seal started slipping off, the humpback, according to Pitman, "gave the seal a gentle nudge with its flipper, back to the middle of its chest. Moments later, the seal scrambled off and swam to the safety of a nearby ice floe."

"That incident convinced me on the spot," says Pitman. "Those humpbacks were doing something that we couldn't explain with what we knew at the time about humpbacks and killer whales."
Pitman started asking people to send him similar accounts. Soon he was poring through observations of 115 encounters between humpbacks and killer whales, recorded over 62 years. "There are some pretty astonishing videos these days of humpbacks charging in on killer whales," he says.
In a 2016 article in Marine Mammal Science, Pitman and his coauthors describe this behavior and confirm that such acts of do-gooding are widespread. They have been occurring for a long time and have been seen in locations all over the world. "Now that people know what to look for, especially people out on whale watch boats, they see it fairly regularly," Pitman says. "So now, even for the people who didn't believe, which initially included some of the coauthors on the paper, I think everybody now understands that this is going on."
But knowing that something is happening and understanding why are two different things. Pitman and his coauthors openly ponder the meaning of these encounters. "Why," they write, "would humpback whales deliberately interfere with attacking killer whales, spending time and energy on a potentially injurious activity, especially when the killer whales were attacking other humpbacks that may not be related, or even more perplexingly, as in the majority of cases reported, when they were attacking other species of prey?"
Mammal-eating killer whales attack young humpbacks, so it's possible that humpbacks mob them as a generalized antipredator behavior, just as crows will mob a perched bald eagle. In 95 percent of the cases studied, the interactions were between humpbacks and mammal–eating killer whales. These include transient killer whales, also known as Bigg's killer whales, that range along the west coast of North America hunting seals, sea lions, porpoises, dolphins, and the calves of larger whale species.

It could also be that specific humpbacks, individuals that may have survived a killer whale attack when they were young or lost a calf to killer whale predation, respond to these traumas by going on the offensive. Sharpe concurs that the severity of a past interaction could affect an individual.
A full-grown 23- to 36-tonne humpback presents a formidable force against a killer whale. Each enormous flipper can measure half the length of a telephone pole. Razor-sharp barnacles encrust the knobby leading edge of these appendages, and the whales brandish them with great dexterity. Humpbacks are the only species of baleen whales to carry their own offensive and defensive weaponry. Though killer whales have teeth, and are smaller and more agile, a blow from the massive humpback tail or flipper could be fatal.
Killer whales recognize the danger. When confronted by a ferociously bellowing mob of adult humpbacks, killer whales will eventually flee. Humpbacks usually work in pairs to fend off killer whales, but lone humpbacks have been observed taking on 10 or more individuals. These battles can be hard won. Humpbacks sometimes spend hours mobbing killer whales, never stopping to rest and feed.
Intriguingly, humpbacks don't just stumble upon killer whale attacks. They race toward them like firefighters into burning buildings. And like these brave rescue workers, humpbacks don't know who is in danger until they get there. That's because the sound that alerts them to an attack isn't the plaintive voice of the victim. It's the excited calls of the perpetrators.
Transient killer whales tend to be silent when they are hunting, but when they finally attack they get really noisy. Pitman believes humpbacks have one simple instruction: "When you hear killer whales attacking, go break it up."
But humpbacks also display remarkable capacities for subtlety. Sharpe calls them "hypercultural beings," pointing out how adaptable and good they are at learning from each other. "Their ability to pick up on social nuance in some ways far surpasses ours," he says. When I ask if humpbacks are aware of the suffering of others—one of the defining characteristics of compassion—he shares a story of a humpback that died in Hawai'i about a decade ago. "The whale was head down in the water no longer breathing. It attracted a lot of unusual interest from other humpbacks. You know how elephants fondle the bones and skulls of deceased individuals? Their response had that feel to it."
Sharpe laments how difficult it is to test what's going on in the minds of whales. "There is part of the human brain that is associated with prosocial behavior," he explains. "But we are so limited because we can't put EEGs or PET scans on free-ranging larger whales."
So are humpbacks compassionate? Scientists, Sharpe tells me, shy away from using the same descriptors we use for humans. "What is exciting about humpbacks is that they are directing their behavior for the benefit of other species," he says. "But there's no doubt there are important differences between human compassion and animal compassion." When I pose the same question to Pitman he concurs. "No editor is going to let me use the word compassion. When a human protects an imperiled individual of another species, we call it compassion. If a humpback whale does so, we call it instinct. But sometimes the distinction isn't all that clear."

We now recognize cultural differences within whale, primate, elephant, and other species in ways that were unimaginable just decades ago. Studies of animal emotions proliferate, and with them come challenging questions about how to best interpret what looks like compassion and altruism in other species. Just how these acts differ from our own behaviors may be hard to pinpoint. In 2014, commuters in a crowded railway station in northern India, for example, watched a male rhesus macaque attempt to resuscitate an unconscious macaque that had been electrocuted while walking on high-tension wires. A video of the incident shows the rescuer nipping, massaging, shaking, and repeatedly plunging the victim into water. The life-saving effort lasts 20 minutes until the monkey miraculously revives.
In an attempt to decipher what qualities of compassion might be uniquely human, I binge-watch videos on Stanford University's Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education website. I am captivated by a video showing a series of experiments in which a toddler voluntarily totters across a room to assist an apparently clumsy researcher who needs help. The same basic helpful behavior happens later in the video when the experiment is repeated with chimpanzees.
What's powerful about these studies, according to Felix Warneken, head of Harvard University's Social Cognitive Development Group and the researcher who led the study, is that they challenge the strongly held belief that we need to be taught to be altruistic through social norms. His findings indicate otherwise. Chimpanzees, as well as children too young to have learned the rules of politeness, spontaneously engage in helpful behaviors, even when they have to stop playing or overcome obstacles to do so. The same results have been duplicated with children in Canada, India, and Peru, as well as with chimpanzees at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany and other research centers across the world. The chimps helped not only people they knew, but human strangers too.
Compassion, it turns out, is innate. Human beings and other animals have what Dacher Keltner, a professor of psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, calls a "compassionate instinct."
Steve Cole, a professor of medicine and psychiatry and biobehavioral sciences in the University of California, Los Angeles School of Medicine reveals an intriguing insight into threat biology that might shed further light on why humpbacks willingly enter into dangerous altercations with killer whales. Cole explains that scientists used to think that the circuitry for detecting and responding physiologically to threatening circumstances was there to protect the survival of the individual. But that is no longer the case. Studies in threat neurobiology suggest that those circuits are there to defend the things individuals care about. "This is why you get parents and those firefighters running into burning buildings to save children and soldiers running into a hail of gunfire for the country they love," says Cole. "These people are in adverse environments, but they are acting as if they are in good environments simply because they are attached to some kind of big purpose or cause greater than their own individual well-being or perhaps sometimes, even survival."

I wonder what humpback whales care deeply enough about to actively swim into battle with killer whales. When I pose this to Pitman, he tells me they are selfish. "They are getting something out of this." He believes that the fact that they occasionally save a humpback calf is a strong enough motive for them to rush in to help, even if it means they end up saving sunfish and sea lions and dolphins and a gray whale calf every now and then. "It's the net effect that is working for them," he explains.
All altruism involves some benefit for the helper, Cole agrees. He says it's biologically difficult to call anything "true altruism" because "helping others almost always doses us with some kind of dopaminergic reward. From the standpoint of empirical biology, the notion of altruism may be a misnomer, if not outright illogical."
Indeed, the happiness we derive when we act on behalf of the greater good shows up in our cells as a better immune response profile, according to Cole. While we might feel just as happy eating ice cream as we do volunteering at a beach cleanup, at a cellular level happiness derived from meaningful service to others is correlated with positive health benefits. Better health through environmental action—that's good news indeed for engaging people in marine conservation.
Sharpe says it's important to step back and appreciate the wonder of the act itself. "It's easy to get lost in the nuance and to come up with high standards of how you interpret this behavior," he says. "But the fact is you have seals on the bellies of humpbacks. You know, it's just a really cool phenomenon and that's reason enough."

Yоu саn nоw inѕtаntlу uрdаtе оld саbinеtѕ uѕing ѕоmе glаzing tесhniԛuеѕ. Chооѕе thе right kind оf ѕtаin or раint and уоu should be аblе tо dо this without еrrоr. Thеrе are many асrуliс-bаѕеd раintѕ in thе mаrkеt thеѕе dауѕ that уоu can uѕе fоr thiѕ рrоjесt.
Oil-bаѕеd раintѕ аnd stains, hоwеvеr, are knоwn to lаѕt lоngеr аnd аrе аblе tо provide a glaze thаt hаѕ a dеереr luѕtеr.
With thе ѕtаin in your hаnd, соvеr thе ѕurrоunding floors аnd соuntеrtорѕ with cloth. Thе cloth will саtсh thе driрѕ from your glazing ѕtаin or раint.
Thе glaze thаt уоu аrе gоing tо use iѕ a mixturе of paint and a high degree ѕоlvеnt. Thiѕ mixturе is needed to асhiеvе the tintеd, trаnѕраrеnt finish. If thiѕ iѕ уоur firѕt time tо make thе glаzе, thеn mаkе sure to hаvе оnе part оf раint mixеd with four раrtѕ оf water (fоr асrуliс рrоduсtѕ). Use оnе part раint fоr еvеrу thrее parts of solvent if you dесidе tо uѕе оil-bаѕеd products.
You mау want to bеgin with thе simplest glаzing mеthоd whiсh is thе рinѕtriре glаzе. Thiѕ kind of glаzе involves wiрing аwау thе glаzе from specific аrеаѕ оf the саbinеt ѕurfасе оr the dооr. Thiѕ iѕ a tесhniԛuе that аllоwѕ highlighting thе ѕtunning aspects of thе wооd whiсh is itѕ grаin.
Pinѕtriре glаzing iѕ all аbоut imрrоving thе dull areas bеfоrе аѕ it ассеntuаtеѕ аnd makes vibrant any wооdеn surface.
Fully wiрing thе glаzеѕ will nоt еffесtivеlу highlight wood grаin but wоuld ассеntuаtе the cabinets and dооrѕ thеmѕеlvеѕ. Fullу-wiреd glаzеѕ аrе uѕеd to create a mоrе uniform арреаrаnсе оn ѕhаdеѕ аnd tintѕ.
Firѕt, сrеаtе the bаѕе bу rоlling оn twо соаtѕ оf lаtеx раint. Choose frоm ѕаtin, еgg shell or pearl finiѕh. Mаkе sure thаt thе bаѕе coat driеѕ up for nо lеѕѕ thаn 24 hоurѕ bеfоrе уоu ѕtаrt glazing.
The nеxt step is to аррlу the glаzе coat. Uѕе thе mixturе, thin with water where nесеѕѕаrу, tо coat thе walls. Dо thiѕ оn еvеrу thrее-fооt-ѕԛuаrе wаll ѕесtiоn. Uѕе a lаrgе, nаturаl briѕtlе bruѕh. Use hоrizоntаl, vеrtiсаl аnd diаgоnаl brush ѕtrоkеѕ in оrdеr to cover the bаѕе соаt.
Thе lаѕt ѕtер iѕ tо сrеаtе glazing еffесtѕ. Yоu саn dо thiѕ оnсе уоu get thе hаng оf glаzing your walls. Tеxturе еffесtѕ rеԛuirеѕ ѕеvеrаl соаtѕ, with each соаt being аllоwеd to dry bеfоrе thе next аррliсаtiоn.
Yоu саn now ѕау gооdbуе tо bоring walls with thе glazing tесhniԛuеѕ that you juѕt learned. This is an inexpensive way tо bеаutifу ѕignifiсаnt rooms in уоur home ѕо tаkе thе timе to learn it.
Pеорlе tеnd shy аwау from rеnоvаting kitchens аnd bаthrооmѕ because they are undеr the imрrеѕѕiоn that it will rеԛuirе соmрlеtеlу rерlасing the саbinеtѕ and doors in thе rооm. Hоmеоwnеrѕ should nоt fеаr mаking a change tо thеѕе critical areas of thе hоmе due tо the fact that thе саbinеtѕ can take оn a whоlе new dimеnѕiоnѕ аnd арреаl ѕimрlу bу glazing thеm. Thе рrосеѕѕ iѕ еаѕу and inexpensive. With a little dirесtiоn, mоѕt реорlе dо nоt еvеn find it nесеѕѕаrу to bring in professionals tо gеt the job done. The glazing рrосеѕѕ саn accommodate a vаriеtу оf finiѕhеѕ, mоtifѕ, and ѕhаdеѕ, making a tоtаl mаkеоvеr оf thе kitсhеn оr bath a fun аnd еxсiting proposition. In аdditiоn tо rеfrеѕhing thе space, a реrfесtlу ѕеlесtеd аnd executed glаzе саn rаiѕе thе vаluе оf thе hоmе a considerable amount.
Glаzеѕ hаvе unlimited роtеntiаl when it соmеѕ to adding beauty аnd character to any dооr оr саbinеt. Dеер сhеrrу or оаk glazes applied uniformly can add a tоuсh of ѕорhiѕtiсаtiоn whilе lightеr tints and рinѕtriре glаzеѕ саn make a rооm seem tо brеаthе more еаѕilу. The dеgrее оf сhаngе that уоur glaze will bring tо thе fееl of thе rооm iѕ completely in уоur hands.
A broken windоw iѕ unnerving. Whеthеr it is hаѕ bееn саuѕеd by burglary, vandalism оr bad weather, уоu will want tо rераir the dаmаgе аѕ ԛuiсklу as possible аnd ensure thаt уоur hоmе or business рrеmiѕеѕ iѕ ѕаfе and secure. But with so many lосаl glаziеrѕ available, thе сhоiсе of whiсh glazing company to сhооѕе саn bе оvеrwhеlming, especially in аn emergency.
A gооd rеѕеаrсh iѕ nесеѕѕаrу whеn lооking fоr a local glazier tо wоrk оn your windows. Most оf the glаziеrѕ will leave уоu with a lоt оf dоubtѕ about thеir сараbilitу tо givе уоu ѕаtiѕfасtоrу rеѕultѕ. Hоwеvеr, thе following аrе tiрѕ оn finding thе correct glаziеr fоr уоur job.
Often, before choosing the right glazier, getting rесоmmеndаtiоnѕ frоm friеndѕ аnd colleagues might help. However, if no оnе hаѕ uѕеful information, check thе rеviеwѕ аnd testimonials оf past work with evidence оn the ѕресiаlizаtiоn. These соuld be in terms оf double glаzing, rераirѕ оr inѕtаlling ѕаѕh windows. Gеt the bеѕt-rаtеd lосаl glaziers based оn customer service and mеmbеrѕhiр in a truѕtеd scheme. Membership givеѕ уоu assurance of bеttеr wоrk, thоugh, and еxреriеnсе fоr ѕеvеrаl years iѕ сruсiаl. Don't be lurеd bу thе ѕаlеѕ аnd mаrkеting wеbѕitеѕ.
Whеn you are dеаling with a local glаziеr, each аnd еvеrу detail ѕhоuld bе tаkеn intо accountability. Prоfеѕѕiоnаlѕ ѕhоuld be capable оf answering all of уоur ԛuеѕtiоnѕ аnd you ѕhоuld ѕее if thеу аrе being genuine and hоnеѕt with you. If they ѕееm tо be hiding something оr ѕkimming оn thе dеtаilѕ thеn thеу mау not be fаmiliаr as much аbоut thе wоrk аѕ thеу should оr they аrе trуing tо trim dоwn the viѕit. Eithеr wау, this iѕ not the kind оf lосаl рrоfеѕѕiоnаl уоu wаnt tо hire.
Yоu will gеt tо rеаlizе thаt thе professional glаziеrѕ саn design decorative fеаturеѕ from scratch, withоut rеѕtriсting уоu tо рrе-dеѕignеd pieces оr idеаѕ. Thеу should be аblе tо viѕit your house, еvаluаtе what are your nееdѕ, аnd сrеаtе thе glаѕѕ fоr thе рrоjесt tо the еxасt dimеnѕiоnѕ of уоur home.
The security and ѕаfеtу of уоur home iѕ paramount аnd a brоkеn windоw can оссur аt аnу timе оf thе dау or night. Make a liѕt for local companies thаt аrе аvаilаblе not only 24 hоurѕ a dау but аlѕо ѕеvеn days a wееk, including public holidays. In thе event оf an emergency, соnѕult this list firѕt.
Whеn you hire a lосаl glаziеr, you аrе getting lоt mоrе thаn juѕt a раnе оf glass frоm thе hаrdwаrе ѕtоrе. Yоu are рауing for their skills, рrоfiсiеnсу, their timе, and thе dеdiсаtiоn that thеу оffеr tо thе рrоjесt as wеll. Thiѕ iѕ thе rеаѕоn, why еxtrеmеlу low costs should be еуеd with ѕuѕрiсiоn but vеrу high costs ѕhоuld be turnеd dоwn аѕ well.
You ѕhоuld givе a fаir рriсе for the wоrk bеing done, nothing lеѕѕ, or nоthing mоrе than thаt. Yоu can tackle this by rесеiving ԛuоtеѕ from a соuрlе оf glаziеrѕ.
A gооd local glаziеr will bе аblе tо guаrаntее a fаѕt response in case оf emergency. Nо matter whеrе уоu are situated, a glаziеr should bе аt уоur hоmе within thirtу minutes. Lооk оut for соmраniеѕ thаt guarantee thiѕ оn thеir wеbѕitе аnd rеmеmbеr tо аѕk when саlling how long it will tаkе for a glаziеr tо rеасh you. In addition, look оut for lосаl companies whо саn guarantee whеn уоur window will be repaired. After all you dо nоt wаnt tо leave уоur hоmе unsafe and vulnеrаblе. Idеаllу, your local glazier ѕhоuld bе аblе tо guarantee a ѕаmе-dау glаѕѕ rерlасеmеnt ѕеrviсе оr аt lеаѕt a 24-hоur secure еmеrgеnсу bоаrding.
It iѕ еѕѕеntiаl tо сhооѕе a firm thаt will рrоvidе thе highеѕt ԛuаlitу рrоfеѕѕiоnаl ѕеrviсе and whose work will fullу meet Britiѕh ѕtаndаrdѕ оf еnеrgу and ѕаfеtу. Tо ensure thiѕ, сhесk thаt your glаziеr iѕ fully ԛuаlifiеd аnd certified.
Finally, it iѕ сritiсаl that thе lосаl firm you select can mееt уоur needs. Lооk out fоr companies that саn guаrаntее аvаilаbilitу tо nоt оnlу аll tуреѕ and ѕizе оf glаѕѕ, but аlѕо glаѕѕ that conforms to thе latest Britiѕh Stаndаrdѕ. In ѕоmе inѕtаnсеѕ, the frаmе аnd thе windowpane may be dаmаgеd. It iѕ therefore аlѕо uѕеful, tо check that уоur local glazier саn also оffеr a joinery rераir ѕеrviсе, juѕt in саѕе thiѕ is nееdеd.
Double glazing іѕ оnе оf thе tор wіndоw аnd dооr glаѕѕ сhоісеѕ аrоund the wоrld. Thеrе аrе numеrоuѕ options whеn іt соmеѕ tо buуіng glаѕѕ fоr уоur оffісе аnd hоmе from ѕіnglе раnе to dоublе glаzіng to trірlе glаzіng, the оnе you сhооѕе wіll dеtеrmіnе the соѕt аnd уоur overall соmfоrt mоvіng fоrwаrd.
Before mаkіng any dесіѕіоnѕ, уоu need to gеt a gооd undеrѕtаndіng of whаt dоublе glаzіng іѕ and hоw it саn benefit you nоw and in thе futurе. Single раnеd glass speaks fоr itself. It іѕ a single раnе оf glass uѕеd іn windows аnd doors, іt'ѕ bаѕіс аnd thе cheapest орtіоn on the mаrkеt, уеt not very practical, еѕресіаllу in сlіmаtеѕ thаt еxреrіеnсе colder weather during wіntеr оr very hоt wеаthеr durіng thе ѕummеr mоnthѕ.
Dоublе glаzіng іѕ twо раnеѕ оf glass thаt sit nеxt tо еасh оthеr wіth a ѕmаll gар іn thе mіddlе. Thе gар іѕ uѕuаllу fіllеd wіth a specialized gas which асtѕ аѕ іnѕulаtіоn. Thіѕ offers аn еxtеnѕіvе rаngе оf bеnеfіtѕ thаt you will notice іmmеdіаtеlу оnсе your new wіndоw or dооr іѕ іnѕtаllеd. Then thеrе іѕ trірlе glаzеd, whісh іѕ оnlу іdеа іn еxtrеmеlу cold оr hоt сlіmаtеѕ. Trірlе glаzіng is similar tо double glazing except it іѕ mаdе with thrее раnеѕ оf glаѕѕ, еасh оnе with a gаѕ fill. Thіѕ саn be an оvеrkіll іn сеrtаіn сlіmаtеѕ, so еnѕurе you dіѕсuѕѕ the options wіth your glаѕѕ ѕресіаlіѕt before mаkіng аnу fіnаl dесіѕіоnѕ.
Yоu wіll fіnd thаt once уоu choose double glаzіng fоr your hоmе оr office, you wіll bе wаrmеr durіng thе wіntеr mоnthѕ. Thе glass асtѕ аѕ a shield, which kеерѕ thе cold аіr оut аnd thе warm air іn, this helps уоu kеер thе hоmе оr office warm, rеduсіng the rіѕk оf уоu running your hеаtіng fоr lоng реrіоdѕ to trу аnd wаrm uр аt аll tіmеѕ.
When it соmеѕ tо thе summer ѕеаѕоn уоu wіll nоtісе that уоu аrе соnѕіdеrаblу сооlеr. If you uѕе аіr соndіtіоnіng, thеn you wіll fіnd іt doesn't nееd to run fоr ѕuсh еxtеndеd periods аѕ thе dоublе glazing рlауѕ a rоlе in kееріng thе cool аіr іn аnd thе wаrm аіr оut. Again уоu fіnd уоurѕеlf benefiting considerably from the glass уоu hаvе сhоѕеn аnd hоw еffісіеnt it wіll make уоur home оr office.
That being ѕаіd, hаvіng dоublе glаzіng wіll help уоu rеduсе уоur energy consumption considerably. Durіng thе wіntеr months you will fіnd your central hеаtіng wіll run less tо kеер thе property warm аnd durіng summer уоur аіr соndіtіоnіng wіll аlѕо run lеѕѕ tо keep the рrореrtу сооl. This саn quickly add uр tо exceptional ѕаvіngѕ that уоu саn еnjоу nоw аnd mоvіng fоrwаrd.
In addition to rеduсіng уоur еnеrgу consumption, уоu wіll fіnd thаt уоur condensation іѕ аlѕо соnѕіdеrаblу rеduсеd when uѕіng dоublе glazed wіndоwѕ. Yоu wіll often experience condensation durіng thе wіntеr mоnthѕ whеn іnѕіdе is соnѕіdеrаblу warmer thаn оutѕіdе, this can rеѕult іn mоuld аnd mildew аrоund thе wіndоwѕ. Rеduсіng thіѕ from happening can have a positive іmрасt on thе рrореrtу and уоur оvеrаll hеаlth.
Thе grеаt thing you wіll fіnd is thаt thеѕе windows аrе muсh ѕtrоngеr thаn single paned wіndоwѕ, іn fасt, thеу can rеduсе the rіѕk оf burglаrу as they аrе harder to brеаk, whісh оffеrѕ уоu muсh nееdеd реасе оf mind and confidence оn a dаіlу bаѕіѕ.
Dоublе glazing оr dоublе glаѕѕ used to рrеvеnt еnеrgу loss. A Hоuѕе is made uр of various materials. These materials hаvе thеіr own рurроѕе tо ѕеrvе ассоrdіng tо thеіr properties. Tо make уоur hоuѕе more еffісіеnt thе ѕоurсеѕ оf еnеrgу trаnѕfеr ѕhоuld be соntrоllеd.
Thе mаіn trаnѕfеr source іѕ doors аnd windows, ѕhоuld be сhесkеd for еffісіеnсу. Doors аnd wіndоwѕ profile (Kоmmеrlіng рrоfіlе, Profine рrоfіlе & ѕmаrt aluminum ѕуѕtеm) аnd раnеlѕ аrе еnеrgу efficient. Thе highest area іn a door оr a window іѕ covered bу glаѕѕ ѕо іt іѕ оf utmоѕt іmроrtаnсе thаt thе glаѕѕ does not trаnѕfеr muсh of еnеrgу. Sо tо solve thіѕ рurроѕе double glazing unіtѕ аrе uѕеd.
Double glаzіng unіtѕ аrе made up оf two glass sheets. In bеtwееn thіѕ dоublе glass ѕhееtѕ thеrе іѕ gаѕ filled in it, соmmоnlу аrgоn gаѕ іѕ filled in іt. Thіѕ unіt іѕ mаdе uр of twо 4mm glаѕѕ ѕhееtѕ ѕераrаtеd bу a gар of 16mm оr 20mm.
Tо higher the gap аnd reduce thе соnduсtіvіtу of thermal energy, thіѕ gap is filled with іnеrt оr noble gаѕеѕ such аѕ Argоn, Krурtоn and Xenon. Cоmmеrсіаllу Argon іѕ filled in the gap tо separate two glаzіng sheets whісh асtѕ аѕ a non-conducting medium fоr thеrmаl energy.
Thеѕе glаѕѕ unіtѕ аrе thеn sealed frоm thе реrірhеrу so аѕ tо make the unit air tіght. Thеѕе dоublе glаzеd unіtѕ аrе then installed in doors аnd wіndоwѕ tо make thеm more еffісіеnt аnd installed аѕ either externally оr іntеrnаllу beaded in wіndоw аnd dооrѕ.
Mаіntаіnіng the rооm temperature and соnѕеrvіng еnеrgу via double glass or double glаzіng unit. Dоublе glаzіng wіndоw аnd dооr is mаdе іn PVC, PVCu, uPVC, рlаѕtіс, hаrdwооd, соmроѕіtе аnd аlumіnum mаtеrіаlѕ.
When уоu оrdеr уоur dоublе glazing, уоur glаzіеr will take care оf еvеrуthіng fоr уоu. Thеу wіll bе able to сut thе glass dоwn to ѕіzе аѕ wеll as еnѕurіng thаt уоur wіndоwѕ аrе fullу fіttеd. Poorly fіttеd wіndоwѕ wіll only саuѕе you mоrе рrоblеmѕ in thе future, аnd this is ѕоmеthіng уоu want tо аvоіd at аll tіmеѕ. Yоu mау experience mіѕtіng, аnd you may also еxреrіеnсе hеаt lоѕѕ. If уоu wаnt to аvоіd аll this then уоu should соntасt a glazier whо іѕ reputable with years оf experience. This wіll increase your chances оf hаvіng a ԛuаlіtу ѕеrvісе аѕ wеll аѕ gіvіng уоu a ԛuаlіtу investment for уоur hоmе.
Fіnаllу, you will fіnd the fіnаl thing уоu need to knоw about thіѕ glass choice is thаt іt helps tо reduce nоіѕе. If уоu lіvе оn a buѕу street аnd thе ѕtrееt noise саn be оvеrbеаrіng аt tіmеѕ, оnсе you replace уоur windows уоu will fіnd thе noise lеvеl іѕ drорреd ѕо уоu саn еnjоу your ѕрасе wіth ease.

I have a confession to make: I spent the day yesterday on Yahoo! Answers. I was having a bit of writer's block for the blog here, so I headed over the the Business & Finance section to see if any of the questions there would spark an idea for me. And boy, did it ever.
I'm a kid/teenager (somewhere between 11-17) and I want to make money, but I'm too young to be hired, or I can't find a job for whatever reason. What can I do besides baby-sitting/lemonade stand/mowing lawns?
I love this question. I see myself in it, except I never asked this question as a kid. I already had the answer. I'd started my own business when I was 6 years old, writing and selling my own newspaper in my town. And I continued that business up until I was 13 years old.
So here's my answer to everyone one of those young business-persons-in-the-making: You can start your own business. And you can do just about anything you want for your business.
Better Than A Lemonade Stand: Small Business Ideas For Kids by Daryl Bernstein.
I read these two books when I was a kid, and they helped so much with developing my idea into a real business. And they both come with tons and tons of ideas for businesses to start, if you haven't thought of one already. I'm talking hundreds of businesses that you could start!
And teenagers, do not be put off by the fact that these books are targeted toward kids. Think of it this way – if a kid can do it, so can you, and you can probably do it bigger and better!
I would love to hear some stories of kids who've started their own businesses – please let me know if you've ever known or been a kid entrepreneur!
I know college groups who do raking and/or shoveling as fundraisers, and make a lot of money doing it every year. The best part is that it doesn't require any motorized equipment like mowing a lawn does, and the more people you have working, the faster it goes!
It's ideas like those that make me love these two books. They're full of ideas like that and how to execute them and how much equipment and money a kid will need and everything. Some of the ideas are really quite great (I wish I could remember more of tham, but off the top of my head: computer lessons/repair, flyer design, sign painting, mural painter, grocery shopping and delivery, checking in on younger latchkey kids, dessert catering, event organizing, gift basket making… the lists just went on and on!).
I about to start my own business with a couple of my friends and this site will really help.
That's fantastic! Best of luck, and I hope the books here help you out – I know they sure helped me!
ok so im 14, im not very smart, im about a level 5 if you knw what that means. i live whith my brother and my mum, my mum is a single perant, and we are living on benefit so the money aint to good lol.
i meet my gf alot, and i always need t save up for stuff but cant cause i need to spend it with my girlfriend and special occasions.
I know a sad story. One kid was doing a website. Then he decided to sell it. He sold it for $5,000(it was bringing some revenue).
The buyer made it to $2,500/month adsense website.
Then parents of that kid sues the buyer, that he had no right(the kid) to sell website, because he was underaged.
They won the case and got website back.
So this is a very thin and really sharp line. You should be really careful doing business with teens.
For the most part everything worthwhile takes effort and consistency. If you are the type who likes flash in the pan and you find it in internet sales and ./ or marketing you may well ( almost always ) lose it at your next trip to the gambline table. Proper results require proper effort and preparations.
How do u start to sell a newspaper, or like a comic strip?
For my newspaper, I made change jars and bought little plastic flyer displays from an office supply store, and then took copies of my paper and the change jars around to businesses in my town. I asked them if they wouldn't mind if I put the newspapers and the change jars on the counter, so that people could buy them. If you do this, make sure you put a label with the name of the newspaper and the price on the jar, so that people know to pay into the jar.
Then, when you put out a new issue next month, you can collect all the money in the jars and put out the new issue. Make sure you tape a piece of paper in the back of the display holder, with a phone number or something to contact you, so that if any of the businesses run out of copies, they can let you know that they need more.
For a comic strip, the best thing to do would probably start putting it online. I actually used to be really big into the web-comic community – I still have quite a few friends there, if you're looking for a mentor.
Feel free to email me if you want any more tips! Just click the "Contact Me" link in the sidebar on this page (up near the top).
Hi,I am 11 years old and I need some money. My parents said They would not let me have an allowance. I am good at making comics and I saved a lot of popcorn (with butter) and I like to write. Can you give me some suggestions for a kid business?
i FOUND sOMTHING REALLY INTERESTING ON THIS SITE… im GOING TO DO IT!
Just remember that if something seems too good to be true, it probably is.
I am 14 yrs old and I've earned US$2700 myself throughout my life. My mom always gave me money since elementary schoool whenever I get good scores in tests and exams. It is a business, isn't it??
@Synyster – not really. That's more of an allowance, or a reward from your parents. A business has to have a plan to make money from people outside of your home.
Hi my name is Katie.
I am 14, i am planning on starting my own business. The thing is i have no idea on where to start. I made my first bar of soap today and that`s what i want to do. I love playing around with smells and finding things that are gentle but good quality to work on sensative skin or children`s skin. I have sensative skin myself and lots of nieces who love the smell of soap i made today. I have no idea how to go about getting started. Do I just sell them? Is that illegal? How do i get a store? Is there a way to get a loan so i can own and start my business? will i have to get a lawyer?
I want a store up town and i want it to be nice. I would need it to have a kitchen so i can make my bathbombs soaps , masks etc.
There's lots to do to work your way up to your dream of owning a store uptown to sell your soaps in. You probably won't be able to get a loan right away, but it is possible for a kid to get a business loan, especially if you have the help of your parents. First of all, I would recommend you check out the books recommended in the article, especially Fast Cash For Kids, which does a better job of explaining the legal side of things than I could do right here in this small space.
My recommendation would be this: First of all, come up with a name for your soap-making business! It should be something fun, and probably something that reflects either cleanliness, or pretty smells. Also, it should reflect your personality, since it's your business! Then, I would make some soaps and sell them to friends and family, to start with. Make sure you set the price high enough to make up for your costs – this is actually harder to do than it sounds, and some grown-ups don't even do this right, and end up losing money! Once you have some money built up from selling to friends and family, you can expand. From there, I would see about renting a booth at a local festival or flea market. Again, you may need your parents' help for this. Before you move from selling to friends and family to selling from a booth, you'll want to go to your town hall or town council and find out about the local laws involved with starting a business. They can help you out the most!
Im 12 and i want to start a cookie making buisness with my friend. Is this legal or….
Investing money while in college is an intelligent decision, but can be hard to do based on financial constraints. Most young people have heard there elders tell them to invest money at a young age, but this seems to be a double edged sword.
I am a mother and teaching my kids how to handle money is very important to me for this is something they're not likely to learn in school. If you teach your children smart ways to manage money, it will help to ensure they get the right start and don't wind up with bad habits.
Hi, every one. My name is Dan and I am 14, nearly 15. Just recently, I bought a small welder, for some metal working projects at home. I then decided to start selling these peices of work. The materials are very cheap to buy(£3-5, per piece), and after some research on the web, similar pieces sell for around £30. Can anyone suggest how or where I can really start selling these pieces. They do take a while to make (1-3 hours) but I don't mind that as they are fun to make. Any advice on starting a small business would be great.
Entrepreneurs are getting younger and younger, eh?
I think the biggest road block for teenage entrepreneurs are their own parents. I think most of the time parents just don't understand, they want their kids to be kids and have fun instead of "working" all the time.
Hi Stephanie, thanks for the advice. But what should I do with the popcorn?
That's a good question… why do you have popcorn saved up in the first place? What kind of popcorn is it?
I'm 12 and want to sell codes and logic puzzles(made by me).
I've already made some codes.
Hi Zeke – I'd be glad to offer you some ideas, but I don't know much about what you want to sell. Could you tell me a bit more about what you mean by codes and logic puzzles?
The first step to being able to sell something is to be able to explain why someone would want to buy it. So if you can tell me why I might want to buy your product, I can help you better and you've also conquered your first step in being able to sell something!
Well, I've got a variety of different codes, from enigma style to simple mono-alphabetic ciphers. The enigmas are fairly hard to crack, but someone who does this sort of thing would find the mono-alphabetics pretty simple. The logic puzzles are pretty simple.
Also the only real place to sell stuff I've got is school.
One thing to note about the raking leaves business, it is sooo easy to under price. MY friend and I did it in gr.6 once. It took us 4 hours (in like -5 Celsius) to rake this persons yard. We got paid 20 dollars, but originally we were going for $5 a yard, which is insanely under priced. I am now starting a lawn care/ landscaping company (I am now in gr.9). Last summer I had aspirations to do it but I never got going with it. Since grass isn't growing quite yet (I live in Alberta, Canada), I am raking up the dead grass for people and I'm going to charge around $12 a bag, which pays me about $12 an hour. Less money than I make with my dad, but more money than I'd make working for say McDonalds. Pricing for raking leaves is insanely hard, especially if your just starting out. Here is a good site for all you landscaping hopefuls out there:http://www.startalawncarebusiness.com/ . I plan on buying this product as I think it will help a lot with my pricing.
Concerning advertising offer people something that nobody else is offering. I am offering my customers free cookies. So it will take up a few hours of my Sunday, but I will get more work and be able to expand faster. Do not spend alot of money on advertising, especially when your first starting out.
I find the only problem with the landscaping business is that I wont have a car to drive me places until I'm 16. So I will be restricted to doing things close to home.
Two books I reccomend on success are 1.) The Success Principles For Teens By: Jack Canfield and someone else (I can't remember his name).
Remember, you need to convince people that they need your services, and that you are better than whoever else is offering them. But don't be pushy.
ok so me and my sis (we r both 11). want to sell cupcakes how can we??
I have to raise $1,000 for a school sponser trip I live in a small town were I know about every person, so selling stuff would be awkward I can kind of draw but not the best Any ideas I need it by next may…?
im 12 and i want to make some money from people but i dont no what to do but i dont want to make a comics, nespapers, lemonad or mo lorns whats a good idea please help!!!!!!!!!!!
some one please help…im 12 and need to make money..
Well Reena u could join up with your friends and rake leaves or shovel snow; help local neighbors; sell clothes that are too small or sell toys that you dont play with anymore; host a bake sale; have a yard sale; donate to the goodwill or salvation army that will make a few bucks; and/or be creative with stuff for ex. if you have a old bookbak that has stains on it you can get cloth patch it up and design it and resell it and get maybe $10 or more with how creative u are.
Hope my advice helped u and you on the road 2 success.
This is just a way to make a few extra bucks during school hours which you shouldn't let your teachers see. There's always kids that will buy drinks and food etc. And your local stores have deals where you buy it cheap and sell for actual price. Ex. I would buy monster energy drinks because they are my favorite and teens love them so when they were 2 drinks for 3 dollars I would buy two and sell one and always have enough money to do it again.
I think that isnt such a good idea because if u get busted ur in big trouble!! just my opinion!

Okay, this morning I was looking at this and I then wanted to start a business. Im only 11, and my mom said I could paint furniture(My mom does it for her friends.) And I was thinking if I did that, I could make money and get higher into the level of art. And it could somehoe invovle my artskills. My friends say Im awesome, and I could get better.
So does that sound good?
Yes! Especially since your mom already does it and can help you through all the steps, including the sale. Good luck!
hi im 9 years old.i am trying to earn at least $300.but i dont now what to do. so i can earn the money.what do you think i should do.
My friend and I are starting up a babsysitting business and have many up a company sorted out prces and are going to make leaflets and advertise in the local paper but her and I are both thirteen and are scared people won't trust us? What do you think??

Hello. I am 11 and I want to start a game design company with friends. We all have expierience in programming (simple text adventures and viruses) and we have a genre. Any advice???
Hi i am 11 almost 12. Me and my friend are great writers and we want to do something with our talent but we have no idea so can you help? We also want to make money.
If you like writing, why not try making a newspaper or magazine that you can sell? The only start-up money you'll need is the cost to print it, and you can even print it on demand each time someone wants to buy one, to start. Writing is a very useful talent – you can also start a website writing about your favorite topics, more of an online magazine. There are lots of places online to learn about adding advertisements to a website to make money with it. Hope this helps get some ideas rolling in your head!
Hi, I'm 11 and I need $288 dollars! I don't know where to start and I'm afraid the business will be unsuccessful. WHAT DO I DO!!!
I would like to show appreciation to this writer for bailing me out of this particular problem. As a result of browsing through the world wide web and seeing ideas which are not powerful, I thought my life was over. Being alive without the solutions to the difficulties you've sorted out as a result of the report is a critical case, as well as those which might have adversely damaged my career if I hadn't come across your site. Your own personal skills and kindness in maneuvering a lot of stuff was excellent. I don't know what I would've done if I hadn't discovered such a stuff like this. I can at this moment look ahead to my future. Thanks a lot so much for this high quality and amazing guide. I won't hesitate to propose your blog to anybody who ought to have guidelines on this issue.

If you want my opinion, go with the clothes recycling. If you can "upcycle" them (add something, make them cooler than the state you received them in) in some way, you'll have a unique corner of the market. There are a lot of places people can buy used mobile phones from, but if you can make cool upcycled clothes with your own personal touch, then people can't get those specific clothes anywhere but from you. Good luck!
That's awesome, Mark! From one gamer geek to another, my best advice at this point is to first of all, stay geeky! And secondly, keep at it, and work hard at the games you are creating right now. I know, you're looking for something a little more fun, like some sort of industry secret that will get you into fame and fortune in the video game industry. But believe it or not, working hard is that secret, because it's the one thing most people are not willing to do. Put as much effort into the games you create as you can, and if something fails, be ready to pick yourself back up and try again (or try something different).
I am a 11 year old girl in India wanting to start a small business besides lemonade stall, dog walking,etc. I want to earn money fast since I want to buy this chemistry kit.I know dance very well i want to start a kind of dance academy here in my house,but there are not enough people.I live in row villas and there is a society nearby so shall i keep the prices low or high or moderate?(Plus I will donate some money to the animal shelter because i love animals)I really want to do this because i need some money as i mentioned above.What shall i name it, any suggestions?

Each vintage, Robert's Cabernet Franc expresses the intriguing and complex personality derived from the highest mountain vineyard blocks at Oakville Ranch. A smaller crop in 2015 favored concentrated flavors and mature tannins. This wine is dark and rich, with blackberry, licorice and plum aromas enhanced by underlying floral notes. On the palate, it is velvety in texture and mouth-filling, with hints of caramel and spice and concentrated black fruit flavors leading to a long finish.


Thank you. The white fungus is also higher up on the bottom of branches that are healthy and not cut. So I think its crown rot then. Thank you for your advice.
I viewed your photos. The leaves have a fungal leaf spot. But it could just be on older senescent leaves, because in the photo of the whole tree the foliage appears relatively healthy. If it's only a small percentage of foliage infected, then its not a big concern. 70% neem oil or a biological fungicide spray every two weeks during the growing season may help with prevention. Use the copper during the dormant season.
The white growths on the trunk appear to be fruiting bodies (like mushrooms) from a fungal infection of the woody stem. I don't recognize the specific identity, but it appears to be associated with old cuts or wounds. So there could be internal wood decay, or it could be rather superficial. Lawn irrigation is often too much water for a tree and can cause crown rot that can advance up in to the tree trunk. If you favor the tree, I would suggest that you sacrifice some lawn area and widen a mulched open soil surface for the tree root zone that only gets weekly water, not daily.
I'm not sure about the mutant growth on the leaf; it could be a remnant from the peach leaf curl but I don't see the characteristic discoloration. Or it could be a virus. If it is not affecting a large percentage of the foliage, I would say pick them off and don't worry too much about it unless it spreads to more foliage.


Why do I need an RV Cover?
An RV Cover protects the investment you have made in your RV. A cover protects the finish from such environmental hazards as UV rays, bird droppings, dirt, tree sap and acid rain. It is essential to protect the exposed roof area. Covering your RV will reduce washing and waxing. Your RV will maintain a newer look for a longer period of time thus helping it to hold its value. Store your RV clean, then when you are ready for a trip, uncover it and go!
A cover also protects the interior from the detrimental effects of UV rays. It prevents fading of upholstery, curtains and carpet. An RV Cover also hides any valuables that are left in the RV helping to prevent theft. For this reason, some RV owners cover their RV's when staying in a campground or resort and leaving the RV for a day excursion.
RV Covers Direct® offers Carver covers that are woven from strong polyester yarn. This makes the covers breathable which is essential to prevent the buildup of excess moisture. The fabric is treated with a finish that makes it water repellent and inhibits UV and mildew damage. Protect your RV for years with a high quality, great fitting cover made in the USA by Carver Industries.
RV Covers Direct® is proud to offer ADCO covers in a choice of custom-fit or contour-fit covers.
Custom Sunbrella comes with a 5 year warranty and is the premier name in durable long life outdoor fabrics. The fiber is extruded, meaning that the sun, wind, or rain will not diminish the color intensity. Sunbrella resists moisture, mildew, won't harden or crack, and is the absolute top-of-the-line fabric. It is great for all intense climates.
SFS Aquashed offers optimum protection from rainfall, and it is great for all northern states and Canada. The triple layer SFS Aquashed top panel beads water on contact while the polypropylene sides offer maximum breathability to virtually eliminate mold and mildew. Custom SFS Aquashed comes with a 3 year warranty, and is available in light gray.
Covercraft Industries Custom covers feature three materials, Ultra'tect, Sunbrella, and Weathershield HD. All of the fabrics are solution-dyed.
Ultra'tect offers a 4 year warranty. It was developed out of the need for a cover that would retain its color and strength in severe outdoor exposure and provide a beautiful, rich appearance while offering a high degree of water resistance and UV protection at a reasonable price. It offers superior shape retention and water shedding capabilities.
Sunbrella is the ultimate for intense sun environments, like Arizona and other areas of the sunbelts, where UV rays will rapidly degrade paints and interiors. It comes with a 5 year, full warranty. For long-lasting strength, fade resistance, water resistance, and rot and mildew resistance, choose Sunbrella.
Weathershield HD, with its 5 year warranty, was developed primarily for intense sun environments and long-term storage. It provides UV opacity, repels water, blocks dust, tree sap and bird droppings, and is still breathable to allow moisture and heat to escape from under the cover. The strong base material is woven by Glen Raven Mills using solution-dyed UV resistant polyester fibers. The superior base fabric is then finished with a patented immersion encapsulation process. A specially formulated finish is placed inside the fabric to bond to each individual thread and fill the valleys between the woven fibers. These special formulas have amazing elasticity to block moisture and dirt while still maintaining breathability of the fabric.

A 12C+four-nucleon (4N) five-body model is applied for the ground and first excited states of 16O. The 4N configurations are selected in a wide Hilbert space under the fulfillment of the Pauli principle excluding the occupied orbits in 12C. The energies of both the states are obtained in excellent agreement with experiment. Analysis of the wave functions indicates a spatially localized alpha-particle-like cluster structure for the excited state and a shell-model-like delocalized structure for the ground state. The difficulty of describing the cluster structure by a standard shell model approach is discussed by calculating components of the harmonic-oscillator quanta in the wave functions.


Even if you haven't been at Polish wedding yet, most probably you have heard how fun attending it is. A lot of vodka shots (believe me you stop counting a number of shots), plenty of food, dancing all night.. Countless of vodkas shots may sound scary but you will be doing well thanks to Polish tapas. (We will come to that point) On our vodka and culture tour, we have been asked many times how Polish weddings look like so we decided to write a blog post about it. I hope it helps you answer your questions regarding the Polish wedding. Enjoy!
1-Ceremony: Most of the Polish people still get married in a church, as Poland is one of the most Catholic countries. It is also quite common to be invited only to the ceremony in a church, not for the wedding party. That's why we advise reading your invitation carefully. The Polish word "ślub" refers to a ceremony in a church and "wesele" means wedding party. Generally, Ślub is held on Saturdays and starts around 3 pm and finishes in 1,5 hour. Wedding party starts after the ceremony and it can last even until early morning.
2-Bread and Salt: After the ceremony in a church, newlyweds go to the venue where the wedding party will be held. There they are welcomed by parents with bread and Salt and two shots of vodka. They have to drink vodka in one gulp and throw the glasses behind their back. If the glasses are broken, it means they will leave together long and happy. Welcoming with Bread and Salt is also tradition for greeting important guests in Poland. We also practice that on our Krakow Food Tour.
3-Food: Wedding party obviously starts with the dinner. Traditionally the broth (in Polish "Rosół" is served as a first dish. As second course you may expect a lot of different meats and potatoes. After dinner on the table is served "zakąski". Zakąski is kind of polish tapas- small snacks that perfectly go with vodka. They are generally very fatty like pork lard or herring. Don't count calories on Polish wedding, fatty food will help you to get along with the next point on the list!
4-Drink: Vodka is a thing that cannot be missed at Polish Wedding. It is not surprising that most of the Polish people drink the only vodka at Polish weddings. Sometimes some wine can be served as an option, but generally, it stays untouched through the whole party. Take it as a hint- Poles are experienced drinkers and they know that the worst thing what can be is a mixing different alcohols. So if you want to survive a Polish wedding, stay stuck to the vodka. How many vodka's shots people drink during the wedding is an unanswered question. It is impossible to count it as glasses are immediately refilled and the shots are drunk one after another. Between the shot take some fatty food, it will help you to slow the absorption of alcohol and you will stay sober longer.
5-Dance: Dance is another important part of Polish wedding. Poles dance a lot, especially with a partner. The wedding generally is accompanied by a live band playing mostly Polish songs. Be prepared for hours of dance, remember to wear comfortable shoes. Don't worry if you don't have a partner for a wedding, it is very common to change the dancing partners and dance with everybody. It is also compulsory to dance with the bride.
6-2nd day of Wedding: The Polish wedding takes two days. The second day is called "Poprawiny" which can be translated as a "to correct" or "improve". The second part starts on Sunday around 1 pm and lasts generally until 7 or 8 pm. It is very similar to the first day but less formal. It the occasion to drink the rest of vodka.

Q: Java for Audio Processing is it Practical? Is Java a suitable alternative to C / C++ for realtime audio processing?
I am considering an app with ~100 (at max) tracks of audio with delay lines (30s @ 48khz), filtering (512 point FIR?), and other DSP type operations occurring on each track simultaneously.
The operations would be converted and performed in floating point.
The system would probably be a quad core 3GHz with 4GB RAM, running Ubuntu.
I have seen articles about Java being much faster than it used to be, coming close to C / C++, and now having realtime extensions as well. Is this reality? Does it require hard core coding and tuning to achieve the %50-%100 performance of C some are spec'ing?
I am really looking for a sense if this is possible and a heads up for any gotchas.

A: Sure, why not?
The crucial questions (independent of language, this is from queueing theory) are:

*

*what is the maximum throughput you need to handle (you've specified 100 x 48kHz, is that mono or stereo, how many bits equivalent at that frequency?)

*can your Java routines keep up with this rate on the average?

*what is the maximum permissible latency?

If your program can keep up with the throughput on the average, and you have enough room for latency, then you should be able to use queues for inputs and outputs, and the only parts of the program that are critical for timing are the pieces that put the data into the input queue and take it out of the output queue and send it to a DAC/speaker/whatever.
Delay lines have low computational load, you just need enough memory (+ memory bandwidth)... in fact you should probably just use the input/output queues for it, i.e. start putting data into the input queue immediately, and start taking data out of the output queue 30s later. If it's not there, your program is too slow...).
FIRs are more expensive, that's probably going to be the bottleneck (& what you'd want to optimize) unless you have some other ugly nasty operation in mind.

A: I think latency will be your major problem - it is quite hard to maintain latency already in C/C++ on modern OSes, and java surely adds to the problem (garbage collector). The general design for "real-time" audio processing is to have your processing threads running at real time scheduling (SCHED_FIFO on linux kernels, equivalent on other OSes), and those threads should never block. This means no system calls, no malloc, no IO of course, etc... Even paging is a problem (getting a page from disk to memory can easily take several ms), so you should lock some pages to be sure they are never swapped out.
You may be able to do those things in Java, but java makes it more complicated, not easier. I would look into a mixed design, where the core would be in C, and the rest (GUI, etc...) would be in java if you want.

A: One thing I didn't see in your question is whether you need to play out these processed samples or if you're doing something else with them (encoding them into a file, for example). I'd be more worried about the state of Java's sound engine than in how fast the JVM can crunch samples.
I pushed pretty hard on javax.sound.sampled a few years back and came away deeply unimpressed -- it doesn't compare with equivalent frameworks like OpenAL or Mac/iPhone's Core Audio (both of which I've used at a similar level of intensity).  javax.sound.sampled requires you to push your samples into an opaque buffer of unknown duration, which makes synchronization nigh impossible.  It's also poorly documented (very hard to find examples of streaming indeterminate-length audio over a Line as opposed to the trivial examples of in-memory Clips), has unimplemented methods (DataLine.getLevel()... whose non-implementation isn't even documented), and to top it off, I believe Sun laid off the last JavaSound engineer years ago.
If I had to use a Java engine for sound mixing and output, I'd probably try to use the JOAL bindings to OpenAL as a first choice, since I'd at least know the engine was currently supported and capable of very low-latency.  Though I suspect in the long run that Nils is correct and you'll end up using JNI to call the native sound API.

A: Yes, Java is great for audio applications. You can use Java and access audio layers via Asio and have really low latency (64 samples latency which is next to nothing) on Windows platform. It means you will have lip-sync on video/movie. More latency on Mac as there is no Asio to "shortcut" the combination of OS X and "Java on top", but still OK. Linux also, but I am more ignorant. See soundpimp.com for a practical (and world first) example of Java and Asio working in perfect harmony. Also see the NRK Radio&tv Android app containing a sw mp3 decoder (from Java). You can do most audio things with Java, and then use a native layer if extra time critical.

A: For an audio application you often have only very small parts of code where most of the time is spent.
In Java, you can always use the JNI (Java Native interface) and move your computational heavy code into a C-module (or assembly using SSE if you really need the power). So I'd say use Java and get your code working. If it turns out that you don't meet your performance goal use JNI.
90% of the code will most likely be glue code and application stuff anyway. But keep in mind that you loose some of the cross platform features that way. If you can live with that JNI will always leave you the door open for native code performance.

A: Check out a library called Jsyn.
http://www.softsynth.com/jsyn/

A: Java is fine for many audio applications.  Contrary to some of the other posters, I find Java audio a joy to work with.  Compare the API and resources available to you to the horrendous, barely documented mindf*k that is CoreAudio and you'll be a believer.  Java audio suffers from some latency issues, though for many apps this is irrelevant, and a lack of codecs.  There are also plenty of people who've never bothered to take the time to write good audio playback engines(hint, never close a SourceDataLine, instead write zeros to it), and subsequently blame Java for their problems.  From an API point of view, Java audio is very straightforward, very easy to use, and there is lots and lots of guidance over at jsresources.org.

A: From http://www.jsresources.org/faq_performance.html#java_slow

Let's collect some ethernal wisdom:

*

*The earth is flat.

*and, not to forget: Java is slow.
As several applications prove (see links section), Java is sufficient
  to build audio editors, multitrack recording systems and MIDI
  processing software. Try it out!

A: Why not spend a day and write a simple java application that does minimal processing and validate whether the performance is adaquate.

A beautiful engagement ring usually serves as a symbol of love and brings out that clear message that you are interested in someone, and you are serious about getting married to them. The other incident where you will need some good and beautiful rings is during a wedding since the rings usually serve as a symbol of commitment and that you intend to spend the rest of your life with that person. In some other cases, people also get to put on rings just for the sake of beauty. If you want to buy good diamond rings then the best thing would be to visit a jewelry shop that stocks different sizes, shapes and kinds of diamond rings.
In order for you to avoid losing your money by buying diamond rings that are not authentic, make sure to confirm that the jewellery dealer is in possession of all the vital documentation and paperwork. The the internet can offer you a lot of reliable information about the jewelry stores around when you get to check out the different ratings and reviews of the jewelry stores. Make sure that you get to pick out the jewellery store that has the highest number in reviews and ratings as this indicates that that particular jewellery store has been offering the best quality services to its clients.

White House adds to Pentagon war funds
By August Cole
Published: Feb 17, 2006 3:47 p.m. ET
AugustCole
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Much of the White House's request for $72 billion more in military spending will go to defense contractors that can rehabilitate a fighting force worn down during more than four years of war.
This money is in addition to another $50 billion already set aside as a supplement to the regular defense budget for fiscal year 2006.
According to Bear Stearns analyst Steve Binder, the Army and the Marines, which have been cornerstones of the occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, will be well funded.
"Bottom line, the traditional suppliers to the Army and Marine Corps seem to be the larger beneficiaries, albeit it's difficult to quantify how much funding each of the companies will receive," Binder wrote in a research note.
The analyst did not change his rating on the sector after the release of the detailed supplemental request Thursday night. See the White House announcement.
Among the companies Binder expects to benefit from the additional billions include armored vehicle specialist General Dynamics GD, -0.78%, ammunition maker Alliant Techsystems ATK, Oshkosh Truck OSK, -1.07%, Textron Inc. TXT, +3.00% and Raytheon Co. RTN, -0.20%. Even a major aerospace contractor like Boeing Co. BA, +1.95% is poised to get $500 million for new Army attack helicopters, according to Binder.
Among the stocks moving higher on Friday, armored vehicle maker Armor Holdings AH, -0.71% moved strongly higher. Oshkosh truck also rose, as did the three biggest Pentagon contractors: Northrop Grumman NOC, +0.28%, Lockheed Martin LMT, -0.24% and Boeing.
About $65 billion will go to the Defense Department and almost $3 billion will go to U.S. intelligence agencies for classified work. For ongoing operations, the Bush administration earmarked $38 billion.
Repairing damaged American vehicles, buying more ammunition as well as getting more sophisticated equipment into the hands of Iraq and Afghan forces are all Pentagon priorities.
Banc of America Securities analyst Robert Stallard pointed out that money set aside for equipment is short of what had been reported to be coming.
"This is significantly less for equipment than earlier reports had suggested, which may reflect Congressional concern that the supplemental was being inappropriately used to by-pass the standard procedures required for acquiring hardware," wrote Stallard.
Some $8.3 billion of the supplemental request will go to replacing or overhauling equipment used in Iraq and Afghanistan.
About $7.6 billion has been set aside for equipment like Humvees, better radios and communications equipment and technology to thwart roadside bombs regularly used by guerrillas in Iraq.
The money, which also will go toward intelligence work and bolstering local forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, for fiscal-year 2006 follows an almost $440 billion request earlier this month for fiscal-year 2007, which starts this fall. Earlier, the White House had said it would ask for $70 billion.
The U.S. is currently spending $5.9 billion a month for operations in Iraq and $900 million a month for Afghanistan, according to the Office of Management and Budget.
Wall Street has been closely tracking spending on Iraq and Afghanistan for many reasons. Defense executives have said that they expect growth rates to slow as the pace of growth tapers off with the Pentagon's budget. But the latest budget request for 2007 allayed fears from last year that spending would slow sharply.
Since then, shares of the major contractors have reached multiyear highs. See full story.

Shows discussing anorexia and bulimia have been around for years. I remember watching them when I was young. And now, it's the trending Netflix movie, To The Bone, that's caught the attention of the kids.
The movie is about a young girl, Ellen, who struggles with her eating disorder, personal relationships, and attempts to move towards recovery. When it came out in July 2017, there was a lot of hype saying that it glorifies and promotes anorexia.
To The Bone, is aimed at a young audience that perhaps doesn't have the sophistication to see how shallow and insipid the portrayal of Ellen is and how none of the difficult questions were asked. It is shock entertainment and totally glosses over the reality of secrecy, isolation and causation. I found it disturbing and unrealistic that the girl talks openly about her eating disorder, treats it like a game and finds a boyfriend while in treatment.
Ellen goes to a rehab house with other young people and the idea is that they'll work together with their handsome Dr. (Keanu Reeves), to fix all their problems. It's very Utopian and I can see how it would be captivating to young viewers. It's presented like an adventure and could be construed as romantic, magical or as an educational starting block for some to make dangerous choices.
We see the characters compulsive drive for physical activity or calorie burns. It could be sit ups, running stairs, jogging…anything and everything that'll keep the numbers on the scales moving down. Throughout, Ellen is also constantly ensuring herself that she can ring her fingers around her upper arm. A measurement of success.
To The Bone introduces the skewed relationship between the individual and food. The first is the chewing and spitting. This is when food is chewed and then spit into a bag because swallowing would introduce calories into the body. This is a way of purging without full consumption. Other things that are looked at are the compelling need to know the nutritional information of every food, how many calories burned with an activity, to have discretion over food by cutting it into tiny pieces, refusing to eat, or munching exclusively on low calorie foods like lettuce.
Though the movie isn't going to win any awards, it brought the matter back to the forefront. Control (or lack there of), anxiety and a drive for perfection may push some young viewers over the brink. A skewed self image and larger emotional problems can kill a healthy future.
The character refers to an anorexic as "a Rexy". Here are a few other terms to listen for.
A person referring to themselves as a Rex or Rexy or being part of a Rex Club, should set off the bells and whistles. Listen for the use of names like Ana (anorexia), Mia (bulimia) and Ed (eating disorder), in an endearing and familiar way especially if accompanied by unexplained or sudden weight loss. If someone says they're going to hang out with Mia, Ed, and Ana, then some questions may need to be asked. Pro-Ana (promote anorexia) groups are rampant on the net. The kids know them, you should too.
If you have a young person (remember, eating disorders are not exclusive to girls), who's experiencing stress involving food, diet, self image, self esteem, etc. and may be on the edge, then To The Bone could absolutely have a negative influence.
Parents/Aunties/Adults watch the kids. Kids watch your friends. This isn't something to fool around with.

Q: Python: Division by Larger Number print 1/50

results to a rounded zero: 0
print float(1/50)

once again returns zero but as a float.
What syntax I should be using to get a right result (0.02) using only stock modules.

A: This line:
print float(1/50)

Performs an integer division of 1/50, and then casts it to a float. This is the wrong order, since the integer division has already lost the fractional value.
You need to cast to a float first, before the division, in one of these ways:
float(1)/50
1./50

A: When you write print float(1/50), Python first calculates the value of 1/50 (ie. 0) and then converts it to a float. That's clearly not what you want.
Here are some ways to do it:
>>> print float(1)/50
0.02
>>> print 1/float(50)
0.02
>>> print float(1)/float(50)
0.02
>>> print 1./50
0.02
>>> print 1/50.
0.02
>>> print 1./50.
0.02

A: Alternatively:
>>> from __future__ import division
>>> 1/50
0.02

This is on by default in Python 3
