After spending 15 years as a CPA working in corporate accounting, Brian thought the grass was greener on the golf course. He went back to school to get his B.S. in Horticulture at Oregon State University with the goal of becoming a golf course superintendent. However, immediately after graduating, a Turfgrass Research Assistant position came open at OSU and, as of March 1, 2010, he will have been in the position for 9 years. Research activities have included disease and weed control, annual bluegrass fertility, growth regulator effects on putting greens, timing of fertilizer release, turfgrass variety evaluation, and selective annual bluegrass control in cool season grasses.

Blog Home/Public Storage/Public Storage Launches Contactless Move-Ins for Peace of Mind
Public Storage Launches Contactless Move-Ins for Peace of Mind
July 17, 2020/Liset Marquez
When Eric Jahnsen decided to move into one of our storage units, he was able to get it done from the comfort of his own home—well everything except the part about moving boxes to one of our spaces nearby.
Thanks to our eRental program, Jahnsen was able to spend just a couple of minutes on our website to zero in on the perfect Public Storage unit. He and his wife were ready to downsize and give up their four-bedroom home in South Florida, but not their stuff. He was able to quickly reserve, pay and sign his self-storage agreement for his new space at a Jupiter, Florida storage location, storage location, all remotely.
"I didn't talk to a soul," said Jahnsen, who moved in the following day. "I did it all online just like I wanted to."
We recently launched the new eRental service to help people like Jahnsen, folks who think the best customer service is actually online self-service. The option is available at each of our more than 2,500 locations, and it has become a hit, especially among people trying to adopt as many social distancing practices as possible. Now when they get to their storage location, they can skip the service counter and head straight to their unit, one that has been prepared for them with a security seal and lock.
Before we launched the new service, customers had been able to find and reserve their storage unit on PublicStorage.com, but they still had to stop by in person to share their payment information and sign their storage lease.
The new process is so much easier, said Jahnsen:
1.	First, visit PublicStorage.com and enter your location to find a storage unit near you.
2.	Then, reserve the unit online and see the reservation confirmation page pop up on your screen.
3.	After that, click on the Complete My Rental Now button below the eRental logo on the page and follow the prompts to move in online.
4.	The day before you move in, we will email you (and also text if you'd like) directions to your location and your storage unit, and we'll also give you your own keypad code to access the facility. We'll send this information right away if you plan to move in that day.
5.	Finally, you're ready to start packing and then head over to your new storage unit and move in.
"This is another way to put customers at ease who might be hesitant to deal with an in-person interaction during these unprecedented times. It is truly a touchless experience that takes into account customer time and offers flexibility," said Stephanie Stefanick, a Public Storage district manager in New York.
Online payments have long been on the rise, but adoption of contactless exchanges and payments have become more popular in the U.S. with the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a consumer survey by Mastercard. In addition, earlier this year the World Health Organization began encouraging companies to offer contactless payments to reduce the risk of transmission.
"Public Storage adjusted its operations to remain resilient, which is great, which is what contactless is allowing businesses to do," said Sophia Anong, an associate professor at the University of Georgia who focuses on family and consumer economics. "It gives peace of mind all around. Not just for the customers, but the workers as well."
In addition to offering eRental as an option for social distancing, we are committed to following CDC guidelines during the pandemic. Our employees wear masks and we've also asked them to refrain from shaking hands, as well as to maintain a six-foot distance across all interactions. In addition, we have enhanced the cleaning of high-touch areas to reduce the risk of transmission.
Public Storage employees are still ready and eager to assist during office hours if needed, said Andrew Capranos, senior district manager in south Florida. In fact, the new eRental option frees up property managers to focus on that smaller number of customers today who still want personal service and the option of checking in with a team member to ask questions or to sign up for a new storage unit in person.
There is another benefit too. Texting and emailing the gate access code through eRental offers more flexibility for customers on a strict schedule. They can now move in before or after our offices are closed, which wasn't an option before.
"In this environment, it's a great program that helps us meet our customers' needs," Capranos said.
For Jahnsen, who had rented storage units from us in the past, the eRental process was a pleasant surprise. He unabashedly acknowledges he prefers to do things online, even more so now with the corona virus pandemic.
"The first step in a move is to get a storage unit. It was perfect," Jahnsen recounted.

The knowledge and understanding of seeing undertones, values and intensities and how all of these factors play off each other is the key to our success.

Whether your style is retro, modern, contemporary, Asian or old world, The Color Coach of Phoenix knows how to select the perfect paint color palettes for use in decorating your home or office.

More Gemini, Samurai, AC-Log and S-Log sample frame grabs. See download box at bottom of post.
I had thought, when I first wrote this post that I had discovered a strange issue where the 444 RGB recordings from the Gemini had more dynamic range than 422 recordings. I didn't think this was right, but it was what my NLE's (FCP and CS5.5) were telling me. Anyway to cut a long story short, what was happening was that when I dropped the Gemini RGB files into the timeline the levels got mapped to legal levels, i.e. nothing over 100% while the YCbCr 422 clips go into the timeline at their original levels. The end result was that it appeared that the 422 clips were clipping before the 444 clips. Thanks to Waho for suggesting that it may be a conversion issue with the frame grabs, I was able to see that it was simply the way the NLE's (both CS5.5 and FCP were behaving in the same way) were clipping off anything in the 422 clips above 100% both in the frame grabs and also on the monitor output. As the RGB files were all below 100% they were not clipped so appeared to have greater dynamic range.
Anyway….. below is a new set of frame grabs layered up in a single photoshop file showing how the various codecs and recorders and codecs perform. The levels in these have been normalised at 100% to avoid any dodgy clipping issues. I've included F3 Cinegamma 4, plus my AC-Log picture profile, plus Samurai ProRes, Gemini S-Log and F3 Internally recorded S-Log of a very extreme contrast situation. Use the link below to download the photoshop layers file. You'll need to me a registered user to access the link.

Building a Democratic Constitutional Culture in Myanmar (ENG)
The Community of Democracies is pleased to present a "Building a Democratic Constitutional Culture in Myanmar" booklet, which contains a summary of fundamental principles and concepts of constitutional democracy with a particular focus on those most relevant to the situation in Myanmar.
The publication looks into the issues such as constitutionalism, human rights in the context of Myanmar 2008 Constitution, federalism, minority rights, rule of law, and reconciliation.
The booklet was prepared by a consortium of constitutional scholars from Australian universities (University of New South Wales and Australian Catholic University), as part of the CoD's Myanmar Constitutional Democracy Project Phase III.
Together with the two constitutional democracy workshops, held in Myanmar in February 2018, the booklet constitutes an effort to increase the capacity of key stakeholders to participate in the process of democratic reforms in Myanmar, extend their knowledge on constitutional matters, as well as to contribute to the development and support of a culture of constitutionalism in Myanmar.
The publication of the booklet is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea.
The booklet is available in two languages – English and Burmese.

Home / Technology / Use your phone to convert a data photo into a Microsoft Excel table
Use your phone to convert a data photo into a Microsoft Excel table
Excel Tool Insert Tool in action.
Angela Lang / CNET
Put the paper aside and pick up your phone. A Microsoft tool for iPhones and Android phones can convert words and numbers directly into information in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet in a few seconds at a paper. With the Insert Data from Picture tool in Excel, you can take a picture of the data in rows and columns written on a sheet of paper and the Excel program for iOS and Android will automatically add the image convert into an editable table
The spreadsheet conversion tool sends the image to Excel's online image recognition engine to process and convert words and numbers into a table. During the import process, Excel offers you the opportunity to fix anything before the conversion.
Excel for Android and iPhone is part of Microsoft's collection of Office applications for mobile devices, which includes Word and PowerPoint. Free versions of mobile productivity applications provide basic editing tools. With & # 39; a Microsoft Office subscription, you can unlock more features, including the ability to work with colleagues.
This is how & # 39; looks after an Excel table after conversion.
Screenshot of Screen: Clifford Colby / CNET
Convert photo & # 39; s to an Excel table:
1. In the Excel program, tap the New button at the top of the program to create a new file. You can choose to create an empty book or use one of the templates that appear in the application.
2. At the bottom of the application, touch the Image Data button (this is the 3×3 grid with a camera). If this is your first time using the Tool, Allow Microsoft to allow Microsoft to convert the image to the Microsoft Online Service.

3. Place the red rectangle around the data you want to capture and then touch the round recording button. The application is a bit delicate about what it identifies, or not as data, so it can attempt to capture what you want.
4. If you are satisfied with the captured image, touch the red verification button to switch the data. If you are not, touch the X and start again.
5. In a preview of the captured data, touch a cell marked in red, and then tap Edit to enter the missing information. Touch Done (Done) after each change. You can also touch cells without highlighting to make corrections or changes.
6. Once you're happy with the data, touch Add at the top of the spreadsheet to enter your data.
The data you record and convert can be numbers and words and can include lists of things and even recipes. And while the application was very accurate when converting data from a paper, we also used it to collect data from a laptop. However, he has problems capturing our handwritten data.
This tool for Android and iOS can work in 21 languages, including Spanish, French and German. There will be more languages, Microsoft said.
sending data from the spreadsheet to Microsoft for processing can lead to privacy issues. "The privacy and security of Microsoft client data is of paramount importance to the company," a Microsoft spokesman said. "Intelligence features within Office applications strictly respect the access rights granted to a user and will not expose information to anyone who has not been granted access."

Graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and fullerenes are the basic set of low-dimensional carbon allotropes. The latter two arise from the former by selective removal and addition of carbon atoms. Nevertheless, given their morphological disparities, the production of each is typically devised from entirely different starting points. Here, it is demonstrated that all three allotropes can nucleate from (pseudo-)spherical, nanometer-sized transition metal clusters in a gas-suspension when the chemical conditions are favorable. The experimental results indicate that graphitic carbon embryos nucleate on the catalyst particles and sometimes transform into 2D graphene flakes through chain polymerization of carbon fragments forming in the surround gas atmosphere. It is further shown that hydrogenation reactions play an essential role by stabilizing the emerging flakes by mitigating the pentagon and heptagon defects that lead into evolution of fulleroids. Ab initio molecular dynamics simulations show that the ratio of hydrogen to carbon in the reaction is a key growth parameter. Since structural formation takes place in a gas-suspension, graphene accompanied by fullerenes and single-walled CNTs can be deposited on any surface at ambient temperature with arbitrary layer thicknesses. This provides a direct route for the production and deposition of graphene-based hybrid thin films for various applications.

Avoid training and support overhead by adding simple tours to your apps. This write-up explores a simple boilerplate solution that's easy to implement.
Not every app's functionality is as obvious to users as developers would like. As a consequence, your UI may both incur support costs and garner unwelcome reviews when confused users cannot figure it out.
Creating training materials for your app can prove as big a development challenge as the app itself. For many developers, perfect is the enemy of good. They're so focused on creating the best possible training system that they overlook solutions that are merely good enough. A simple but reusable training harness enables you to minimize costs and get started with training.
I started building my suite of tutorial classes a few years ago. You see a skeletal example in Figure 1. On the iPad, my tours consist of a series of popovers, which optionally point to items they describe. On the iPhone, a stack of view controllers replaces the popovers. The same classes and set-up power tours on both systems.
Over time, my tour classes have grown to accommodate built-in elements like UIKit's new support for HTML-based attributed strings as well as custom elements like animated gifs. But when I first started, I had a list of non-negotiable requirements.
My tours needed to keep track of a user's training through the defaults system. Each app could check defaults to determine if training had finished. I vary how each app uses this knowledge. Some apps present the tour at launch until complete. Others allow users to skip out, not presenting again unless specifically requested by the user. This default item enables each app to implement its own system.
The tours had to run platform agnostically. Because popovers are essentially view controller containers, this was quite easy to accomplish. On phone devices, I push controllers. On tablets, I embed them. Otherwise the programmatically generated controllers are identical.
My scripting had to be simple, centralized, and flexible. I wanted to ensure that at any time I could add new tour stages or re-order the ones I already had, whether during development or after deployment for app updates.
Each stage had to support a localizable headline, body text, next button, and an image. Although I generally deploy only to English, I wanted the system to be international-ready, so these elements had to be settable from the scripting method. My latest system adds iOS 7 HTML support to provide further lightweight customizations such as bolding and italics. My image can now be an animated GIF, which is a great resource for show-don't-tell tutorials.
Users had to track where they were with respect to the tour so that they wouldn't feel trapped. That's why both the iPhone and iPad versions offer the page indicator control. At any time, users can tell how far they've progressed. Because I keep my tours short, I do not allow many "opt out" points. You should think about where in your training a user should be allowed to leave and adjust your tutorials accordingly.
The tour had to take charge of the interface, and users would not be allowed to perform normal tasks until they'd left the tour. Establishing a delegate protocol for a controller that could disable and enable its own interface was essential. My delegates implement one method, setInterfaceEnabled:, which allows the calling view controller to prepare itself for the training and recover after.
Even satisfying these bullet points, the system I eventually settled on has limitations. It assumes it describes a single main interface. The iPhone presentation is a stack of view controller presentations that cover the interface it describes. (This was the original motivation for why images had to be a part of the tour.) The tour contains no deliberate interactivity beyond page-to-page navigation.
These limitations, however, enabled me to create an exceedingly simple harness. What follows is an example of how little scripting it takes to build a tour.
The classes that power this tour are at my Github repository. They consist of a stage class (a data structure describing the stage properties), a tour view controller (it uses these properties to populate a view), and the tour itself, which is little more than a smart array. Although minimal, they provide a jumping-off point for anyone who wants to build a customizable tour system.
A successful tour should be highly focused. Always respect your user's time and attention. Determine what features are the most pertinent to getting started and limit your initial tour to those items. You can always provide additional tours for more experienced users, and your training should not overwhelm your product. A user is less likely to quit from an app with 4 or 5 intro frames than one requiring 17 or 20 steps. Never forget that your interface always contains one more button than you design for. When your users feel trapped or bored, they'll press the Home button instead of tapping Next.
Keep your language light and tight. Use style hints to punch your meaning. In Figure 2, this tour stage uses HTML to pop its example text (monospaced) and related trivia (italics). Admittedly, this example is wordy due to the nature of the app.
Don't ignore your headers. They offer the best way to get a single idea across before you expand that idea in your text and supporting media. In fact, design your headers to match the key points you need your users to understand. Think of them as the elevator pitches of your training materials.
If you can, substitute pictures for words, especially pictures that move, when teaching an interaction. There are some terrific finger-shaped cursors available. I use PhoneFinger, which is available as an open source repo. You'll find others with a quick Internet search.
You may also want to highlight touches using a kit like TouchKit, which I wrote about on InformIT a few years ago. Use the simulator or an AirPlay destination like Reflector to move your app to a desktop computer and QuickTime to capture the screen recording.
There's a great discussion on converting movies to GIFs at this gist by Alex Dergachev. If you decide to go the gifsicle route he recommends, you may need to install Homebrew and brew cast. Be sure to read the comments on that gist as there are lots of great tips and links there as well.
If your app is complicated, end your tour with a callout to your help system. Tell your user how to search for and find answers – through built-in or online manuals, video resources, and so on. Incidentally, this is probably not where you want to include links to your ticketing system as your user has now spent a grand total of a minute or so invested in your app.
Guided tours go a long way toward getting your users up to speed with your app. Even limited systems like the one discussed in this write-up help users better understand and invest in your product. Yes, you'll have to schedule in time to design, script, and implement a tour, but you'll be setting your priorities in the right place for the long term.

Minister of cooperative governance and traditional affairs (CoGTA) Zweli Mkhize has intervened after a small Free State municipality failed to fire its municipal manager for allegedly using a spiced-up CV to secure his cushy job.
Mkhize sought clarity from Free State CoGTA MEC Oupa Khoabane at the end of October after the Nketoana local municipality ignored the MEC's instructions to kick Mzwandile Manzi out of office in August.
However, nothing has happened despite the minister's intervention. Instead, the council now claims it has been interdicted from holding a meeting at which Manzi will be fired.
Mkhize's spokesperson Musa Zondi said: "The minister is aware of the alleged appointment of the municipal manager of Nketoana local municipality by the council of the municipality.
Speaker of the municipality Kgaketla Mokoena wrote a letter on November 15 postponing the meeting due to the interdict. He failed to show the interdict to Sunday World.
Manzi was appointed to the post in September last year after having claimed to have two labour law short course certificates from the University of the Free State.
However, documents seen by Sunday World show that the university has no record of Manzi's studies with it. He has also not completed his BA degree with the University of the North.
Nketoana leaders accused of being law unto themselves.
Manzi could not be reached for comment. He did not respond to messages sent to him.
His alleged bogus appointment was first raised by a local residents' forum that prides itself as corruption busters earlier this year.
Its complaint to the municipality and the provincial department prompted Khoabane to instruct the municipality in a letter dated August 22 2018 to convene a special council meeting to boot Manzi out of office.
"Call an urgent special council meeting where the appointment of Mr MP Manzi as the municipal manager will be rescinded. This must be done by the 31st August 2018. Failure to do so will result in the MEC approaching the court for a declaratory order setting aside the appointment as invalid. All councillors will be held jointly and severally liable for costs emanating from this court [action]," read the MEC's letter in part.
Mokoena referred Sunday World to mayor Maditswako Mokoena for further questions.
The mayor could not be reached for comment and failed to respond to SMSes sent to her.
Khoabane said: "I sent a letter to the municipality and requested the council to reverse the appointment of the municipal manager. I stated that they should have a council meeting where they will reverse the appointment.
"Mr Manzi interdicted the council and that froze the process. I hear they [council] have not met. Maybe they will consider this matter first [thing] in the new year.
The MEC said he was awaiting a response from the municipality before he could make his next move.

How to Create a Nurse Mission Statement
By Brittney Wilson, BSN, RN / July 4, 2017 September 22, 2020
In my opinion, if you're going to do something, do it 100%. Do it with soul, do it with your whole heart.
That's why I created a nurse mission statement for myself.
It would be easy to go to work every day solely for the paycheck. And there's nothing necessarily wrong with that; you're making an honest living, and you're benefiting society in the meantime. But what I realized recently is that I'm just not okay with setting for that. Nurses show up in patient's weakest moments in life, when they're the most vulnerable and helpless. Although I don't work in direct patient care, I support nurses that do. So I need to bring all of my heart with me. I'm not benefiting anyone if I'm just trying to rush through my work so I can check the latest Facebook updates.
You see, I could've gone into many occupations where I could make the same amount (or more) of money and deal with a lot less stress and pressure. But, I chose to become a nurse.
Creating a nurse mission statement can be one of the single most important things you could do for your career and for your patients. I became a nurse for a reason, and I want to represent that reason every day.
What is a Nurse Mission Statement?
A nurse mission statement is a declaration of the values and goals of your nursing career. It's what drives your career, tells people what you're all about and what you aim to bring to the table.
I didn't always understand why a mission statement was beneficial, but as my time at the as a nurse ticks on, the importance has been made clear to me.
It's easy to get really burnt out as a nurse. As a new grad, you start off very excited and eager to make a difference in the nursing field. But it doesn't take long for that excitement to wear off and for the demands of the career to pull you in like quicksand. I see it on a regular basis, and the nurses I'm speaking of (who are already preparing to quit the profession) have been nurses for only six months. Having your own mission statement can be a daily reminder of why you became an RN, and what exactly you aspire to do with your life and your career. It can help to pull you out of the daily dramas that threaten your career (and sanity) and gently shift your perspective back to what really matters.
Time to Reflect
To begin, I would suggest grabbing a notepad and pen. Writing all of this down is essential, and can also help you to keep your thoughts organized. The key to creating your own nurse mission statement is simple, but it requires some reflection and some honesty. In allowing ourselves to be honest, we become a better nurse as well as a better person, and thus permitting ourselves to bring our "true selves" to light. Being honest also allows us to consciously acknowledge our strengths and weaknesses. This is really important, as there's so much in life that we keep in our subconscious but don't intentionally think through.
So with that in mind, answer these questions:
What inspired you to become a nurse?
Where do you feel the most called? Is there a certain population of people or a certain disease process that you feel you want to work with?
What is your primary motivation and goals in your career? Is there anything specific that you wish to accomplish as a nurse?
What values do you want to bring to the profession?
After going through these questions, you may have a clearer focus on what your nurse mission statement should be. These questions could also bring up other questions in your mind, and you may not have answers to them right now. That's okay. As you go to work this week, you can also examine yourself and see where you shine the most, so to speak. Indirectly, you may be answering these questions without even realizing it.
Now, let's look at a few examples of mission statements. There's no magic formula in structuring it, and you can engineer your statement however you choose. Perhaps the following will give you some ideas, though.
My mission as a registered nurse is to provide competent and compassionate care to every patient and family member. I vow to remain educated, honest, and professional for the duration of my career.
In going to work as a nurse every day, I will be loving to people of all backgrounds and ethnicities. I will help educate people with substance abuse and work closely with social workers to help them be placed in programs to overcome their addictions. I will never show any judgment and will remember that we all are flawed and have weaknesses.
I devote myself to employ best practices in nursing care and help ease the suffering of those with chronic medical conditions. I will remember that pain is subjective and considered a vital sign, and I will do everything in my power for people to be without pain.
I hope that you are encouraged to develop your own nurse mission statement! Enjoy the process and what it reveals about you.
Also be sure to check out how to define and attain a nursing goal in a nursing care plan.

Are you planning to study law in the US? With the rising cost of tuition and books, you may need to scan the Internet for lists of inexpensive law schools. Finding the right one for you requires dedicated research. This gives you the best shot at finding the school that fits your needs. You should strive to find a balance between a school that is inexpensive, yet reputed, in order to be able to get a degree in law that works for you. Don't just look at overall program cost; there are other factors to consider such experience of the teachers, school activities, and even the location of the school. Before combing through lists of the numerous schools where you can enroll, there are certain tips that you keep in mind. Also, be sure to check out the following 3 universities. You may find that they are a good fit for you.
If you are on a budget, you should consider enrolling into in-state law schools. These will provide lower tuition fees for you, and you may even gain more state-specific knowledge. This may be especially useful if you plan to practice law in that same state. Finding a school that is reputed as well as affordable is not an easy feat. To start, you may need to make a list of at least ten schools that are inexpensive as well as reputed. Be sure to visit the website of each of the schools and check their details. Choose to enroll in a school that fits your personality and educational pursuits. Different schools offer different focuses of law, so that may help narrow down the list. If you can't seem to find what you're looking for, consider the following law schools that are catching the eye of future law aspirants.
Both the in-state and out-state fees of the law school are well within affordability of most future students. This school has a good reputation and offers a variety of programs that students can choose from. The school is accredited by the American Bar Association since 1927. The student-faculty ration of the school is 14:1. It is considered to be one of the best-value law schools in the USA, and definitely worth looking into.
The full-time school fee is $10,417 to $22,394 (in-state/out-of-state-respectively). This school is also accredited by the American bar Association and is another reputed name in the list of affordable law schools to consider. The faculty to student ratio is 13.6:1. Aside from affordable tuition, it offers different types of law programs such as joint-degree programs, certificate legal program in Tribal and Indian Law, and others. This school promotes student involvement through their volunteer and leadership programs.
This school is located in Washington DC. It focuses on recruiting and training students from under-privileged sections of society. The school has received good status and is one of the most diverse law schools of the country. There is also the provision of "pay it forward credit" where the students are needed to give around 40 hours of community service. This is a great school to consider, not just because of cost, but because of what it stands for.
What do you look for when choosing a law school?

SINGAPORE - Mixed martial arts (MMA) fans in the Lion City look set to make a beeline for the Singapore Sports Hub on Oct 26 with the return of UFC Fight Night Singapore.
The event, run by the world's leading combat sport organisation, will take place at the Singapore Indoor Stadium.
"Singapore is an important market for UFC as we look to strengthen our business internationally and continue to grow the sport of MMA in Asia," said Kevin Chang, UFC senior vice-president, Asia Pacific in a statement.
"Singapore has welcomed UFC with open arms, and we're grateful for the support from partners like Singapore Tourism Board and Singapore Sports Hub. We're looking forward to building on the success of our previous events in the Lion City and delivering another incredible UFC Fight Night for our fans."
Jean Ng, executive director, sports, STB added: "We are pleased to host the UFC Fight Night as it adds to our dynamic calendar of world-class sporting events and further entrenches Singapore's position as a regional sports tourism hub. We aim to build on the success of last year's edition and deliver yet another exciting experience for visitors and locals this year."
In 2017, UFC Fight Night Singapore kicked off with fan favourite Holly Holm beating Bethe Correia while last year's headline bout saw British upstart Leon Edwards ruining Donald Cerrone's historic bid to become the most successful UFC fighter ever. Both events attracted a total of nearly 15,000 spectators.
"The UFC Fight Night showcases top-tier mixed martial arts action, which has been one of the world's fastest-growing spectator sports," Adam Firth, Chief Commercial Officer for SportsHub Pte Ltd, said. "The Singapore Sports Hub is thrilled to, once again, welcome back some of the world's best fighters to the Singapore Indoor Stadium to show off the incredible athletic and technical ability of these athletes and inspire Singapore's many martial arts fans."

MSK industrial shrink wrapping machines and shrink hood applicators offer pallet packaging solutions that look to the future. Our future-oriented packaging systems were developed in close cooperation with leading companies from a wide variety of industries. In addition to high flexibility of pallet formats and maximum load stability, they offer significant savings advantages in terms of energy, material and maintenance.
The MSK Paratech shrink hood machine is characterized by its simplicity and ease of maintenance. The industrial shrink wrap machine pulls film hoods over the pallet loads following the so-called parachute principle.
The shrink wrap machine MSK Multitech is a hood applicator that flexibly adjusts to changing products and processes. With its compact design, the packaging system processes up to four film formats or thicknesses entirely automatically. The applicator's flexibility means that it will adapt to any opening dimensions.
The machine head of the MSK Multitech can be lowered to working level. Maintenance can be carried out very easily and without ladders or a platform.
The MSK Flowtech shrink film sleeving machine was specially developed for cost-efficient packaging of any number of very different pallet or product formats.
MSK pallet shrink wrap machines are characterized by the gentle application of controlled amounts of heat using MSK shrink frames: They ensure the film retains its elasticity and fatigue strength during prolonged storage.
The product-specific combination of hood applicator or film sleeving machine with an MSK shrink frame system forms an optimal and cost-efficient packaging system for pallet packaging.
During pallet shrinking, the MSK Undershrink system secures the packaging film further underneath the pallet runners. This gives the shrink film its maximum hold, thereby providing maximum load stability for the packages on the pallet.
MSK shrink frames can be equipped or retrofitted with the patented MSK Shrinkcover. Depending on the film thickness and pallet size, this can save up to 40% of the energy required for heating during pallet shrinking.
MSK shrink hood applicators can be equipped with the new MSK film forming device to keep the pallet feet free of film. Special shaping of the film during the shrinking process leaves the necessary space between the pallet runners which is required for automatic pallet handling systems.

RVO renewable heat…
RVO renewable heat incentive statistics online
Since January 2016, a subsidy scheme by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency, also known as RVO, has led to the installation of 66,659 renewable heating systems in the country, the ISDE Viewer shows. ISDE is short for Investeringssubsidie Duurzame Energie, or Investment Grant for Sustainable Energy, which helps owners of residential or commercial property to retrofit their buildings with solar water heaters, biomass boilers or heat pumps (for a more detailed description, please see the database of incentive programmes). Half of the EUR 100 million budget that was available for 2018 still is, according to the programme's website.
Chart: RVO
The administrators of the ISDE scheme said that they had received 16,058 applications between 1 January and 31 July, which means that an estimated EUR 49.5 million, or about 50 % of this year's budget, has been spent. Nearly 70 % of it supported the installation of heat pumps and as little as 7.7 % went to solar thermal (see the table below).
Incentives for commercial property, such as multi-family houses and buildings owned by agricultural and service companies, were slightly higher than for single-family homes if all technologies are included in the calculation. Nevertheless, more solar thermal systems were installed in single-family dwellings.

Broken down by province
The table below shows a breakdown of ISDE Viewer figures about the top half of the 12 provinces in the Netherlands. In each province, there is a certain correlation between population size and the number of installed and subsidised renewable heat systems. But still, the high commitment of technology suppliers to sell solar can also have a big local impact on the sales figures. For example, there were 1,600 new solar thermal systems in the province of Gelderland. Gelderland was once home to solar thermal suppliers offering training to several experienced installers. The knowledge these installers gained over the years continues to drive the market today.
