One of the fastest ways for a camping trip to turn into a nightmare is for mosquito bites to make it an itchy misery. No thanks!
Worse, with mosquito borne illnesses such as Zika and West Nile, it is not just a convenience issue. Doing your best to prevent mosquito bites is a safety issue.
I have put together a list of actions, products and even household items that you can use on your next camping adventure. Start with some simple planning and good packing and you will be able to enjoy the outdoors without being bothered by mosquitoes.
Location. Location. Location. When it comes to avoiding mosquitoes, this is one of the most important factors. Since they breed in stagnant water, you will find mosquitoes at their highest concentrations near streams, ponds, bogs or marshes.
Even if the water is moving, such as a stream or river, small eddies and puddles are likely common on the banks and will be a source of these biting pests. Choose high and dry for the best bug-free spots.
Bug repellants with the chemicals DEET or Permethrin tend to be very effective at repelling mosquitoes. In areas with high concentrations of mosquitoes, or that are under warnings for Zika or West Nile outbreaks, they are probably your best bet.
However, studies have shown that long term exposure to concentrated amounts of DEET may be harmful to your health. There is no reason to be completely alarmist about this, but it is a concern for some people, especially with infants.
In addition, there are some concerns about these potent pesticides and their effect on fish and other water life. It does not hurt to be a little conservative with the use of these products when you can.
Try to use on clothes, shoes, hats and gear rather than directly on the skin.
Do not put a bunch of the repellant on and then jump in the water.
Use a product with as low a concentration of the chemical as is effective.
Coleman Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus Bug Spray – Completely plant based with a great smell and non-greasy application.
OFF! Botanicals Insect Repellent – From a well-known bug repellant company, this formula works with an extracted essential oil found in Eucalyptus.
US Organic Insect Repellent – 100% certified organic and plant based. This formula uses a combination of essential oils including citronella, rosemary, peppermint, geranium, lemongrass and lavender.
Avon Skin So Soft – Although it was not originally formulated to repel insects, customers soon found out this all-natural formulation was effective. Studies have also proven its effectiveness.
Cutter Citronella Bucket Candle – Citronella acts as a natural repellent in this fire-safe bucket candle, a nice safety feature to have in the woods.
Coconut – The scent can be effective to deter insects from biting. You can use it as a soap or use coconut oil rubbed into the skin. Many sunscreens also include this ingredient if you are planning for time in the sun.
Garlic – Plan some meals that use fresh cloves of this ingredient. As you sweat some of the enzymes from this bulb work to discourage pests.
Sage – If you grow this herb in your garden, you know it is profuse and there is always plenty to spare. Dry some each year and bring it with you to add to the campfire for an efficient repellant for the whole campsite.
Be aware of light – Mosquitoes and other biting insects are attracted to light at night, so be thinking strategically. Luckily, campfire produces smoke which works to help keep mosquito populations down, but flashlights, lanterns and pavilion lights will attract them.
Close the door or tent flaps – Keeping cabin doors and tents tightly closed can go a long way to provide bug free zones for sleeping or escaping the pests during peak hours (such as sunset).
Avoid scented skin products and perfume – Just like there are scents that repel mosquitoes, there are also scents that attract them. Try to avoid products that might entice the little buggers to make you into a snack.
Good timing – Perhaps the most important step you can take to reduce exposure to mosquitoes while camping is to plan your trip to avoid peak mosquito season in the area you are planning to vacation.
Keep your campsite tidy – Cleaning up food immediately after a meal and tightly sealing trash can prevent attracting mosquitoes and other pests.
Coleman Instant Screenhouse – Fast tear down and assembly makes this an option for folks that like to camp in style. Enjoy the views without the bites. This canopy also provides some shade so it does double duty.
Sierra Bug Free Long-Sleeve T-Shirt – New fabrics have built Permethrin into clothing and gear so that it can withstand up to 70 washes and still provide protection from mosquitoes. This long sleeve T-shirt protects against bugs and sun, without adding much weight or heat.
Even Naturals Mosquito Head Net – I prefer a head net to a net hat, although both are effective for bug proofing exposed skin around the head and neck. This way you can use your own hat, you know, for style!
In summary, there are a lot of ways to keep mosquitoes away while camping, especially if you do the right preparation for your trip. If you are planning your trip now, be sure to see my full Camping Gear List (link to this article on the site) for a great checklist!

LG Optimus 3D has gained a lot of attentions due to its glasses free 3D technology. In this post, we will share all what we know about this smartphone, such as tips and tricks, up ROM, backup, how to capture and share 3D videos and photos, and play NVIDA Tegra 2 games on this smartphone.
This 3D smartphone was first introduced in MWC 2011 forum in Feb 2011. It is the second 3D devices from LG (after LG Optimus Pad 3D tablet).
- CPU: TI OMAP 4430 dual-core 1GHz.
- Screen: 4.3" (800 x 480).
- Built-in storage: 8GB (~5GB useable).
- Support microSD card up to 32GB.
- Cameras: 2 (main camera: 5MP with LED flash).
- OS: Android 2.2.2 (upgraded to 2.3).
Inside the box: Body, USB cable, charger, in-ear phone, and guide book.
The dual-channel helps to reduce the time for accessing RAM and, therefore, this smartphone runs smoother.
- Switch between back and front cameras.
- Change the depth of 3D images.
- Change EV (controlling the brightness of videos based on the light of environment).
It's rather easy to capture 3D videos with this smartphone. Only 2 things you need to consider: 1) you should turn on the stabilization feature and 2) the white balance is not good in low light environments, you should change the white balance setting manually for better results.
3D movies on LG Optimus 3D: To play movies on LG Optimus 3D, the 3D file format must be SBS/Half-SBS/Over-Under.
Upload 3D videos to YouTube 3D: in the default software for watching 3D video, click Menu > Sharing > YouTube to upload your video to YouTube 3D.
- Access to http://www.3df33d.tv, create an account, check mail to activate.
- Prepare *.JPS file to share. Rename files to *.JPG (only change the extension).
- Go to http://www.3df33d.tv/Preferences to change the way to view 3D (for example: Side By Side mode for 3D monitor or Anaglyph for watching with glasses).
- Click Upload button and choose "Upload 3D photos".
- In the next page, choose "Side by Side" for 3D Input Format, browse to your files and click Upload > Save.
One of the best websites for viewing 3D image is http://www.3dpic.net/3d-pictures-gallery/. You need to have Java in your web browsers to view 3D images having SBS, Red-Cyan or any 3D formats.
- Set the screen brightness to Auto in Setting > Display > Brightness.
- Turn off all unnecessary connects (wifi, bluetooth, GPS) when you don't use.
- If you don't use 3G frequently, turn it off and use 2G instead.
- Remove widgets (Facebook, Twitter, Weather … ) out of the main screen.
Use the Performance Pack from LG Optimus 2D to improve the performance.
- The built-in storage (LGE folder) already has LG Optimus 3D drivers for PC and PC Suite. You don't need to download them from Internet.
- To capture screen without rooting, press Power button and then quickly press Home button. The captured images will be saved in CapturedImage folder in the built-in storage.
- When receiving an incoming call, rotate your phone to turn off the sound.
- Sound files recorded by the recorder will be saved in the SoundRecoder folder in the built-in storage.
- To download everything from the web browser, you can use ASTRO File Manager and chose "Enable Browser Download" in Preferences.
ROM is a OS version of our smartphone. ROM may be supported from LG or other communities on internet.
Important notes before Up ROM!
- If you do not follow the instructions correctly, your smartphone may be bricked.
- Charge your battery fully.
- Try some ROMs and choose a good one.
- Go to Market and find app "Clockwork ROM Manager. Run this app and choose "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery". Choose and download ROM.
- After downloading ROM, copy it into your sd card. You should place it in _ExternalSD folder.
- Choose "choose zip in sdcard" and browse to the ROM file to install. After installing, go back to the first menu and choose "reboot system now". If your phone does not reboot, unplug the battery and boot manually.
Note: if you up a completely new ROM, you need to format your phone first. Otherwise, errors may occur. To format you phone, run "wipe data/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition" in ClockworkMod Recovery. Remember to backup your data first.
- Reboot to ClockworkMod Recovery mode by using ROM Manager app or hold Power button and Down volume button at the same time when booting your phone.
- Using volume buttons to move to "Backup and restore" and choose it.
To restore, use "Restore" in "backup and restore" instead. Note: the restore process takes time.
NVIDIA Tegra games are developed for Tegra platform so we cannot play them directly on LG Optimus 3D. To play these games, you need a tool named ChainFire3D (a OpenGL driver). Your phone need to be rooted first.
- Then download plug-ins.zip at http://www.mediafire.com/?28px1g9zobbsdoh and unzip it.
1) Connect LG Optimus 3D with your computer. Copy file libGLENU_NVIDIA.zip to card where we unzip Plug-ins.zip file.
7) Choose "Use Plugins" and "NVIDIA" to complete.
In the case you cannot play at the first running time, turn off and reboot your phone to play.
Very nice and in details!
Thanks for your useful information, I didn't know this service before.
Have you encountered such a problem. What would u recommend?
Have you encountered such a problem. What would u recommend?"
Additionally I tried removing the battery for 5, 10 min , and 1 hour, pressing the power button and the volume (+/-) simultaneously and in sequence, changed even the battery with a friend's (thinking that if the battery was drained it might have been damaged in the process), nothing seems to work. It is stuck into this loop.
Tried to connect it to laptop, won't see the device (used to see it in the past).
I haven't encountered such problem. I think your device may be damaged. You should bring it to the mobile phone shop or the warranty service for fixing. Usually, if you drop your electronic device into water, you should turn it off and remove battery immediately. Then, using the hair-dryer to dry your device before plugging battery again and turning it on.
I realy don't know what's wrong.
Not able to play trainz simulator after doing all the settings..getting closed automatically in between.
how do i delete apps on this phone.. ??

This paper examines how the number of bank relationships affects bank lending to new firms using a unique firm-level data set of more than 1,000 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) incorporated in Japan between April 2003 and June 2008. We employ a two-stage least squares (2SLS) estimator—one of the instrumental variables estimators—to address the possible bias caused by omitted variables and/or reverse causality. We find that an increase in the number of bank relationships increases long-term lending to new firms. We also find that this rise may boost total lending to such firms. Furthermore, the findings in this paper suggest that the most significant difference in the effects of the number of bank relationships on bank lending is the difference between a single bank relationship and multiple bank relationships. We show that these results are unlikely to be driven by omitted variables and/or reverse causality.

Akron Schools Superintendent Says State Report Card Shows Progress
WKSU | By Sarah Taylor
TIM RUDELL
WKSU
David James is superintendent of Akron Public Schools.
The state of Ohio has released 2019 school district report cards, and Akron Public Schools Superintendent David James says the district is outpacing "most all other urban school systems."
Overall the district earned an achievement grade of D.
But James points out, "Fifty-one percent of our 46 schools received report card grades of either A, B or C, and we continue to improve at a healthy rate."
Akron results include one A for Akron Early College High School. The rest of the school performances:

This chart shows which overall grade each Akron Public School received on the 2019 Ohio report card.
In his statement, James said Akron is close to moving up a grade, its graduation rate has climbed, and literacy rates for kindergarten through third grades are also up. He says 99% of the district's third graders have been promoted to fourth grade.
James also noted, "Much of what we do that makes us stand out is not included in this limited assessment by the state: fine arts, International Baccalaureate schools and our College & Career Academies are not factored in this." The district tracks progress in its own report card, which James encouraged those interested to look at as well. Akron will be fully implementing the College & Career Academies this fall.

As has been widely reported in dentistry, Medicare is requiring dentists to take action by June 1, 2015 to either opt in or opt out of Medicare. With this deadline, it now becomes a very real decision process that has to be made now. With nearly 50 million people in the United States with Medicare, dentists should take a real look at their practice to make it appealing to this huge and growing patient population. How fast is it growing? Baby boomers are turning 65 years of age at a rate of 8000 people a day.
Do you want these geriatric patients in your practice? I sure do. Why? Because today's geriatric patient demographic owns 70% of the wealth in the US, has an average income of approximately $74,000, and does the most implant, restorative, and esthetic dentistry of any other patient demographic. The reason is they have the time, money and the teeth to work on, more than ever before. You can now see how this becomes a very important decision as the right decision can really grow your practice and get you many more new patients. The wrong decision will cost you time, money, prevent many elderly patients from ever considering your office, and will cause these same patients to leave your office right now.
A decision should not be made on this simple synopsis below, there are serious considerations for each practice. This decision is very practice specific and if you haven't already made a decision as to what path you want to take, it is imperative that you now do so. At this point in time, you may still be able to make the Medicare deadline of June 1, 2015, so that there will be no interruption for your Medicare eligible patients regarding being reimbursed for their Medicare Part D prescriptions, imaging, biopsies, or other services that a dentist may prescribe for patients.
Do nothing: If you do nothing, you may think this decision will not affect your practice and you couldn't be more wrong. The major change is any patient that has Medicare (which is most patients over 65 years of age) will not be reimbursed for any prescriptions that you write for them nor will they be reimbursed for any biopsy you may send them for. If you know anything about geriatric patients, they will not look kindly on your office once they are surprised at the pharmacy. Even more so, with the incredible rise of dentists referring patients for diagnostic imaging, that too will not be reimbursable to the patient because you chose to do nothing. Imagine the surprise on your patient's face when they see they are not getting reimbursed because your office chose to do nothing. I am sure you will hear from these irate patients who then will leave your office in a hurry.
Opt out of Medicare: This option is not the same as doing nothing. Most dentists make the mistake thinking that opting out means you have no relationship with Medicare and don't have to do anything. Nothing could be further from the truth. The opt out option has the most continual relationship and paperwork over the long term, interrupts your patient workflow, requires Medicare patients to sign an intimidating document, and requires your office to do a lot of explaining to patients. You also must opt out again after a two year period of time.
Opting In for Billing: This is a good option for dental practices that would like to bill Medicare for Part B services. There are very few dental services that fall under Medicare Part B so this option may not be best for dental practices unless they treat a number of oncology patients or perform a lot of surgery. Other choices that must be made with this option is whether to be a participating provider, accept assignment, and accept Medicare approved payment in full. Because many Medicare patients also have secondary insurance, that must be billed as well.
Opting In for Prescribing: Also known as enrolling for ordering and referring, this option is a good choice for many general dental practices. As an ordering and referring provider, dentists will be placed on the Medicare Ordering and Referring Registry and will be able to prescribe medications as well as order and refer patients to Medicare enrolled providers and suppliers (such as blood tests, imaging, and the like) that will be reimbursable because you chose this option.
Remember that these choices only relate to Medicare Part B. This has nothing to do with Medicare DME (durable medical equipment) which relates to oral appliances for dental sleep medicine. Dental sleep medicine only when coupled with bruxism therapy is an area every dental office should seriously look into and integrate into their practice. This is an area that Medicare and medical insurances will reimburse and the reimbursements are well worth your time and effort and patients get the treatment they need for obstructive sleep apnea which is what causes patient's bruxism. Once dentists make the application for one of the options above, it is a great time to apply for Medicare DME which will save you both time and money as each application is tedious and can be confusing. This is why it is very important to have experts help you make this decision and complete and follow your applications.
The application process is tedious and confusing. Being that the application process no matter what you decide will take 2-6 months and if the application is not correct the first time, it will be delayed even more. You can see that June 1, 2015 will be here very quickly. You better make the decision a good one. There is no question that most dental practices should not go this alone. The choice of which direction, application and provider status to choose requires careful evaluation, education, and professional assistance.
For my own practice, we used the enrollment professionals at STATDDS to guide us and submit our application now to make sure we don't lose our patients who are 65 years and over. For those of you who are wondering, after consulting with the STATDDS Medicare specialists, the option I chose for my own practice was number 4 above. Because we enrolled early, we have already received our determination letters from Medicare and we don't have to worry about the impending deadline.
As you can see, this is a career decision, a business decision, and also largely a very important practice and patient management decision. The right decision here can also be a very powerful marketing tool, increase your productivity, and help you retain and recruit many new patients to your practice.

            value = b.getInt("key", 0);

        }
    }

Hi guys, im doing the Android app and stuck on create the dynamic radio-button. Because i don't know how many button i need (which depend on the value - user input). I read some posts which can add on the Layout but i want to add into the radioGroup. Is there any ways? Thank

A: Step #1: Create a new RadioButton via its constructor and configure it as you see fit.
Step #2: Call addView() on your RadioGroup to add the RadioButton to it.
Step #3: There is no step #3

A: try this way to add radiobutton in RadioGroup:
private final int WC = RadioGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT;
RadioGroup.LayoutParams rParams;
AnswerRG = (RadioGroup) findViewById(R.id.AnswerRG);

RadioButton radioButton = new RadioButton(this);
radioButton.setText("Yellow");
radioButton.setId(1001);//set radiobutton id and store it somewhere
rParams = new RadioGroup.LayoutParams(WC, WC);
AnswerRG.addView(radioButton, rParams);

Remarks by the President on General Motors
THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody. Good afternoon. Today, one of the toughest tales of the recession took another big step towards becoming a success story.
General Motors relaunched itself as a public company, cutting the government's stake in the company by nearly half. What's more, American taxpayers are now positioned to recover more than my administration invested in GM.
And that's a very good thing. Last year, we told GM's management and workers that if they made the tough decisions necessary to make themselves more competitive in the 21st century -- decisions requiring real leadership, fresh thinking and also some shared sacrifice –- then we would stand by them. And because they did, the American auto industry -– an industry that's been the proud symbol of America's manufacturing might for a century; an industry that helped to build our middle class -– is once again on the rise.
Our automakers are in the midst of their strongest period of job growth in more than a decade. Since GM and Chrysler emerged from bankruptcy, the industry has created more than 75,000 new jobs. For the first time in six years, Ford, GM and Chrysler are all operating at a profit. In fact, last week, GM announced its best quarter in over 11 years. And most importantly, American workers are back at the assembly line manufacturing the high-quality, fuel-efficient, American-made cars of tomorrow, capable of going toe to toe with any other manufacturer in the world.
Just two years ago, this seemed impossible. In fact, there were plenty of doubters and naysayers who said it couldn't be done, who were prepared to throw in the towel and read the American auto industry last rites. Independent estimates suggested, however, that had we taken that step, had we given up, we would have lost more than 1 million jobs across all 50 states. It would have also resulted in economic chaos, devastating communities across the country and costing governments tens of billions of dollars in additional social safety net benefits and lost revenue.
That wasn't an acceptable option –- to throw up our hands and to quit. That's not what we do. This is a country of optimistic and determined people who don't give up when times are tough. We do what's necessary to move forward.
So these last two years haven't been easy on anybody. They haven't been without pain or sacrifice, as the tough restructuring of GM reminds us. And obviously we've still got a long road ahead and a lot of work to do -– to rebuild this economy, to put people back to work, to make America more competitive for the future and to secure the American Dream for our children and our grandchildren.
But we are finally beginning to see some of these tough decisions that we made in the midst of crisis pay off. And I'm absolutely confident that we're going to keep on making progress. I believe we're going to get through this tougher and stronger than we were before. Because just as I had faith in the ability of our autoworkers to persevere and succeed, I have faith in the American people's ability to persevere and succeed. And I have faith that America's best days and America's -- and American manufacturing's best days are still ahead of us.
Finally, I just want to embarrass a couple of people. Ron Bloom and Brian Deese are key members of the team that helped to engineer this rescue of GM and Chrysler. So it had not been for these two gentlemen, a whole lot of people might be out of work right now. We are very proud of them and I figured that I'd go ahead -- you can see they're all looking sheepish -- point them out to you.
So thank you very much, everybody.

Assistant Professor, Landscape Architecture
Trained as a landscape architect and building architect, Catherine's research examines the materiality and performance of waste landscapes through exploratory methods in design research and practice. Her work has ranged in scale from large bio-cultural and sacred indigenous landscapes, to site design and architectural work, to furniture design and materials research. Through her design work, research, teaching and engagement, she explores ways of creating multiplicity within a single entity, space, building or site to form greater efficiencies and performative capabilities in design. Since 2014, Catherine has developed her design research—landscape lifecycles—as a holistic approach that synthesizes multiple programs, forming hybrid assemblages in the transformation of waste landscapes and materials. She uses landscape lifecycles as a framework for investigating the performance, visibility, citizenships, emotions and injustices of waste materials and landscapes.
For several years, she was a researcher for the Materials Collection at Harvard University, where she analyzed and developed new methods for the lifecycle assessment of materials used in built environments. This led to a passion for incorporating the lifecycles of materials and sites in the multi-scalar design of waste landscapes. She was awarded a Penny White Fellowship to research the lifecycle and use of geothermal energy in Iceland, which led to her graduate thesis, "Energy Afterlife: Choreographing the Geothermal Gradient of Reykjanes, Iceland," and has been published and presented in various outlets. More recently, she was awarded several grants to continue her research in Iceland, focused on the Blue Lagoon and its waste reuse strategies. She continues to expand this research through documenting case studies of waste landscapes that have evolved from bottom-up processes, advancing landscape lifecycles as a critical lens for evaluating the landscape performance of existing sites that engage with waste reuse.
Before joining the Department of Landscape Architecture at UW, Catherine was an Assistant Professor of Landscape Architecture at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where she developed courses examining the multi-scalar implications of materiality and waste. Prior to this, Catherine was a lecturer at Cornell University where she taught undergraduate and graduate design studios focused on brownfield transformation. She was also an Associate at Whitham Planning and Design in Ithaca, New York where she worked as a landscape architect and planner on numerous urban infill projects, including the transformation of a deindustrialized Superfund site into a mixed-use district known as the Chain Works District.
Catherine received her MLA from Harvard University and her BARCH from Pratt Institute. She is a certified remote drone pilot, an Honorary Member of the Tau Sigma Delta Honor Society in Architecture and Allied Arts, and a Fellow of the Center for Great Plains Studies. Her work has been supported by numerous grants, and recognized in national and international publications and media outlets, including the Landscape Research Record, Journal of Landscape Architecture, and Journal of Architectural Education.

Q: How cast any to method signature on typescript I want to cast an any to a method signature on TypeScript.
I am using RxJs and a cordova's plugin that has an event. This event has an "any" signature, so when i bind it with "bindCallback", i cannot put my parameteres.
The following code works, but is working without observable pattern:
this.map.on((<any>window).plugin.google.maps.event.CAMERA_CHANGE, () => {
try {
  console.log('it works!!');
} catch(err) {
  console.log(err);
}

I think with observable pattern would to be something like this:
let eventAsObservable = Rx.Observable.bindCallback(this.map.on);
let result = eventAsObservable((<any>window).plugin.google.maps.event.CAMERA_CHANGE);
result.subscribe(x => console.log('don't work --> ' + JSON.stringify(x)));

My problem is that "eventAsObservable" don't accept parameters. I think it's because "this.map.on" is marked as any.
So, would be great if i can cast "any" to a method that accepts a numeric or string parameter signature.
How can i solved it?
Thanks a lot

A: Changin this
let eventAsObservable = Rx.Observable.bindCallback(this.map.on);

To this
let eventAsObservable = Rx.Observable.bindCallback(<(a: number) => any>this.map.on);

Works for me


Using DAV Explorer, you can lock a resource, preventing anyone else from modifying it while it is locked. The lock stays active until it is unlocked, or it times out.
DAV Explorer supports shared and exclusive locks through the File menu. The lock icon on the toolbar always creates an exclusive lock.
If the resource is successfully locked, a lock icon will appear to the left of the name of the locked resource. The screen below shows the resource "Readme.txt" after it has been locked.
DAV Explorer requests a lock duration of 86,400 seconds, or 1 day, after which the lock times out, and is automatically removed from the resource. However, it is possible for a WebDAV server to have a different lock duration policy, ignoring the client request and assigning a different lock timeout.
It is possible to submit a URL providing some contact information for the person taking out the lock. If another person desires write access to a locked resource, they can use this lock owner information to contact the owner of the lock, and discuss when they can get access. The lock owner field is usually either an "http" URL for a Web page, such as a home page with contact information, or a "mailto" URL, which has the email address of the lock owner.
Enter the lock owner URL in the window that appears, then select "OK".
The lock owner information is saved when you exit DAV Explorer, and will persist across DAV Explorer sessions. Lock owner information is saved in the file "lockinfo.dat", which is stored in your home directory on Windows (NT and up) and Unix, or in "\" on Windows 95/98. The storage directory location comes from the Java "user.home" system property.
This example shows an exclusive write lock, of depth 0, meaning the lock only applies to the current resource. A depth value of infinity indicates a lock was made on a collection, and recursively on all its sub-collections. The lock owner contains a "mailto" URL, giving the email address of the owner of the lock. The lock token is an identifier for the lock. The lock token is unique across space and time, and is often called a globally unique identifier, or GUID. The timeout field gives the number of seconds until the lock expires, starting from when the lock was generated.

Home » TEMPERATURE AND LOADING POINTS
Campisa has developed a full range of solutions for the management of loading points for dry, chilled and frozen goods.
For dry goods, loading points have no problems arising from the packaging of the goods.
The term dry goods generally refers to food products that do not deteriorate at room temperature. This category applies to all industrial products that do not require special conditions. Therefore loading bays for dry goods follow general guidelines.
Loading points for chilled products operate at temperatures between 0 and + 5°C.
Loading points for frozen products operate at temperatures down up to –45°C.
There are common issues at play for the chilled and frozen level, as both deal with perishable foods and both are related to the delta between the temperature inside the plant and the environmental temperature outside.
HOW RECESSED LOADING BAYS FOR COLD STORED WORKS
For privacy reasons YouTube needs your permission to be loaded. For more details, please see our Privacy & Cookie Policy.
THE DELTA BETWEEN INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE
To better understand the importance of the delta temperature, here are some examples:
Chilled with internal temperature of +5°C and external temperature of +35°C = delta of 40°C.
Frozen with internal temperature of –15°C and external temperature of 10°C = delta of 25°C.
From these figures we understand the importance of always taking into consideration the maximum external temperatures in summer and in winter (not the averages), putting them in relation to the internal temperatures that are instead constant (in every case a solution that has the best possible insulation is always a source of energy saving).
The implementation of Campisa "energy saving" loading bays includes a "recessed loading bay", which comprises a 2500mm long loading ramp with a 1000mm telescopic lip, built into a pit 3000mm in length. This means that in the rest position, the ramp remains retracted by 500mm compared to the edge of the dock.
The prefabricated pits ensure the perfect execution of the retracted pits. The sectional door closes in front of the loading bay with the loading ramp inside.
If the pit for the loading ramp has the housing for the vehicle's tail gate lift underneath, an insulated sandwich panel will be fitted between the pit ramp and the tail gate pit.
The sectional door will have a thickness of 40mm for chilled goods and 80mm for frozen goods. Obviously it will also be appropriate to use the 80mm thickness for chilled goods with a significant delta. It is important always to bear in mind that one cause for the increase in delta comes from the dark colour of the door, and for this reason RAL 9002 white is always recommended.
Campisa recommends the FIDELITY hydraulic lifting system for the perfect perimeter seal and lower seal in particular (proven by numerous thermographic tests), compared to standard balance sectional doors that with springs loaded slightly more than necessary, keep the closed door raised by as much as 5–10cm.
Discover Fidelity Sectional Door
THE ROLE OF DOCK SHELTERS
Dock shelters play an extremely important role, which for dry goods are the retractable type, whereas for chilled and frozen goods are the cushion type with a height adjustable upper cushion, if required. The cushion seal is the only seal that guarantees the insulation of the spaces between the two rear open doors and the sides of the truck.

Know What a Naughty Boy Looks Like for a Great Relationship and Marriage
What exactly do I mean when I tell you to be "naughty"? And what is it about "naughty" that drives women crazy?
Over the years since high school graduation, I've talked with old classmates and found out all kinds of things that I never knew about myself and the girls I went to high school with. If I could go back knowing what I know now…
Well, I can't, and I don't know that I'd change anything at all, because the idea of dating a bunch of teenage drama queens is even less appealing now than it was then, but it would sure be fun to see all of that through new, more aware eyes! You see, what I've been finding out was how many of the girls "had the hots for me," including the hottest ones in the school, even a couple of classes ahead of me, and I never knew. That begs several questions, among them:
1. Why didn't I know?
2. What made it happen?
Both questions have answers that are easy today, but in those days would have amounted to hidden, mystical knowledge that no man was supposed to have! And which, by the way, I can now provide… ;-)
I didn't know because I didn't know how to listen to women and read their signals. One girl had such a crush on me that she bought tennis shoes that matched mine trying to get my attention; I had no clue. We were "just friends" as far as I knew, and I though it was an act of camaraderie. Others asked questions that, at the time, I found extremely annoying because the answers appeared so obvious; they already had the answers. The questions were just excuses to try to get my attention and strike up conversation; I was the stupid one, in spite of graduating as class Valedictorian and receiving a congressional appointment to a military academy.
What I knew about communicating with girls when I was in high school wouldn't have taken a whole sheet of paper to record. I still thought, as nearly all men do, that women talk just like we do, but a whole lot more, and usually too much about too many things that I don't want to talk about or hear. That doesn't take anywhere near a page to write, huh? But I learned…
I eventually found out that what caused all those girls to want my attention was two things: I didn't give two hoots in Hell what anybody thought about me and was about as independent and often rebellious as a kid can be if somebody tried to push me to do something that didn't make sense (alpha male behavior), and I was about the most devil-may-care, mischievous little demon in the school.
You went to school with a guy like me, the one who couldn't keep his mouth shut when there was a good joke to crack, always a smart-ass but usually a likable smart-ass. The prankster who seemed to be at the center of every spectacular stunt, joke, or uprising. The guy whom the teachers were always having to punish for breaking some rule or disrupting something, but never wanting to punish because his mischief brought some fun and excitement to their boring routine and because he was the curve-buster and teacher's pet as far as grades went. And most of all, the guy who, in spite of all his shenanigans, never hurt anybody, and was always leading the action, recruiting others to join his quests and adventures, sometimes causing a whole group to sit in the principal's office, brothers-at-arms, waiting for the group ass-paddling to commence and laughing it off.
Remember him? You never really knew what he was going to do next, or what he was going to say. A teacher would ask a question, and if he raised his hand to answer, everybody would turn and look at him, silently trying to guess if he would be serious and give an authoritative answer that would ensure his position as teacher's pet for another week or crack wise with something that he and everybody else knew he shouldn't say but had to say, and when the teacher would reprimand him through clenched teeth trying to keep from laughing themselves to death, would cock his head a little and with a sly grin say something like, "Who, me?" or "Now you KNOW I didn't mean it THAT way! Get your mind out of the gutter, Ms. Teacher. There are children in the room!"
Sure he meant it that way, and so did I! But it was that attitude of selectively bucking the establishment when there was really no harm done, leading the way in making mischief when it was least expected, and grinning that manure-eating (taken from the colloquial "grinning like a 'possum eating s**t"), fun-loving grin that drove the girls wild. They have a naughty streak, too, but for centuries they've been told that they shouldn't let that be seen, because "nice girls don't do that if they want to find a nice man and get married."
And they won't, until a man gives them such a dose of it that they can't help themselves, and become overwhelmed with a feeling that it's safe to cut up and let their own naughty side come out; some would say they're waiting for your permission to show their naughty sides, and I couldn't argue with them, but what I've seen looks more like they're waiting for leadership to go down that road. AND BE ADVISED…
It must be only a side of you that you expose, especially in a committed relationship. Why?
Think about the guys you knew who cut up in school. There was the "class clown" who was constantly into something and getting in trouble, right? How did he fare? The teachers thought he was a mildly amusing constant pain in the ass, and nobody, including the girls, took him seriously, right? Everybody would go to him to get a levity fix and then move on to other things, because that was all he had to offer, a quick chuckle or a good laugh, but nothing of real substance. Like what, you say?
Like a deep conversation, or a challenge met and conquered, or an example set by leadership, or homework answers, or anything else that people naturally look for in other people. Do you think a woman wants to be married to a clown? Or do you think she'd prefer a man who gives her the feeling that he can handle the world, protect her from the world and the boredom it threatens her with, can have a deep conversation with her and leave her with something to think about, and when she least expects it, do something outrageously naughty that lets her show her own horns for awhile too? Kind of a no-brainer when you think about it, huh?
So how do you develop this naughty boy bit? You don't! It's already inside you, no matter who you are. What you have to develop is the courage to let him out on occasion and the discipline to put the genie back in the bottle after you've had some fun. If you really don't think you have it in you, then expose yourself to it, explore it in others, until you can remember it in yourself, or simply feel it trying to come out. You've been in situations where something serious was said and a sly, hilarious thought crossed your mind, but you didn't let it out. Why?
Answer that one question, "Why did I not allow myself to be myself in that moment, and cut loose with that naughty thought as a naughty remark to be shared by everyone in the room?" and you'll be well on your way to reviving your naughty boy side. Somewhere along the line you locked him in the closet, maybe because you were afraid of mom finding out, losing a job, being punished, or sounding silly – who knows? Find out!
That's not to say that if you are invited to report at a board meeting that you should make a farce of it. But if you're sitting in a meeting at work and things are just getting too tense, lighten the moment if it's not going to get somebody fired. If you're having a fight with your wife and you have a funny thought cross your mind that won't come across as you making a cruel and embarrassing remark to her, let it fly! It will probably end the fight – maybe with her giving you a sound smack in the head for interrupting her rage and making her smile, but end it nonetheless – and how can that be a bad thing?
Just remember that naughty is about fun, for everyone. It's never mean or cruel, and laughter should never come at anyone's expense, including your own. If something that goes through your head has realistic potential to hurt others, keep your mouth shut. It's far better to be silent and thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. It's also okay to poke a little fun at yourself along with everybody else, but don't embarrass or demean yourself for the attention.
So now you know. Just like when I was in high school, you can be doing everything right and never know it, or worse, be doing everything WRONG and never know it! Most men are, and if you were doing everything right, it's highly unlikely that you'd be reading this, right? It takes two skills to really make it with any woman, no matter how much you love each other.
You need to be able to create attraction within her by creating and releasing sexual tension. This is done by alternating between various types of behavior ranging from strong and serious to thoughtful to naughty as a man can be. You also need to be able to really read and understand what she says and signals to you through words, deeds, body language, vocal tone and volume, etc., so that you know WHEN you are succeeding at creating attraction, and succeeding at receiving and returning her love, respect, friendship, and loyalty, or when you are killing any of the above.
THAT is one of the secrets of relationships that are enjoyed for a lifetime, and I can tell you about the others, too. Sound like something you want to get in on?
I thought so. Here's what you do: Go to http://www.makingherhappy.com and download your copy of "THE Man's Guide to Great Relationships and Marriage" and read the inadvertently best-kept secrets in the universe, those of what women want, how they think, how to communicate with them, and how to turn them both on and off pretty much at will. It doesn't put you in control of them; it puts you in a position to lead, understand, and enjoy them, and to be enjoyed BY THEM. Do it now, before you do another thing, because you should never, EVER put off until tomorrow the success and happiness you can have today!

It has been more than four years since the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists updated its recommendations(www.acog.org) for vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC), stating that VBAC is "a safe and appropriate choice" for most women who have had a cesarean delivery. Still, women are frequently denied labor after cesarean(www.nytimes.com) (LAC) because of hospital or practice policies that conflict with evidence-based guidelines.
Fortunately, this hasn't been an issue for me or my patients at either of the hospitals where I provide maternity care. My practice encourages VBAC whenever possible because the overall risks associated with a vaginal delivery are actually lower than the risks associated with a C-section, and certainly with subsequent C-sections. The recovery time is much faster with VBAC, and that shorter recovery contributes to a more positive experience for moms and also makes it easier for them to do other things, such as breastfeeding their babies.
LAC, of course, doesn't always lead to a vaginal delivery. In fact, less than a third of my patients who attempt it are actually successful. The two main challenges have been maternal exhaustion and the inability to help labor along with certain medications.
That second challenge, however, is changing. Although ACOG's recommendation statement offered limited and somewhat conflicting information about the use of oxytocin to induce labor, the majority of research in this area pointed to an increased risk of uterine rupture. Regarding the use of oxytocin to augment contractions, however, "The varying outcomes of available studies and small absolute magnitude of the risk reported in those studies support that oxytocin augmentation may be used in patients undergoing (trial of labor after cesarean)."
For me, that wasn't a strong enough endorsement at the time. But now, the AAFP has published a new VBAC guideline that also supports the use of oxytocin for induction and augmentation of labor.
In fact, the guideline states that "there does not appear to be an increased risk of uterine rupture associated with oxytocin augmentation of labor." It also says that "augmentation of labor with oxytocin is associated with a 68 percent rate of VBAC."
For my practice, this changes everything and provides a new pathway to help my patients who want to try LAC. Having that chance is so important because some moms who want a vaginal delivery feel bad and blame themselves when they have to have a C-section. Having an attempt at vaginal delivery -- even if unsuccessful -- takes away some of that guilt because they know they did everything they could. This aspect shouldn't be overlooked given the importance of mental well-being during the postpartum period.
And when these moms succeed, the joy is immeasurable. They not only have the pride and happiness that is typical of a new mother, but they have accomplished something they previously were told they could not do and achieved the kind of delivery they wanted the first time.

Virtualization / VDI Evolves Beyond Desktop Replacement
VDI Evolves Beyond Desktop Replacement
By Channel Insider Staff | Print
Once viewed as the formula for desktop PC provisioning and management roles, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) technology is moving into the mainstream via a new path, as a solution for business services.
Most enterprise administrators have viewed Virtual Desktop Infrastructure as a way to deliver enterprise desktops to users more efficiently. However, VDI can deliver more than just a typical business desktop; the technology can also be used to deliver specialized business services.
A case in point is bank hardware vendor Diebold, which is now running a pilot program to deliver ATM (Automated Teller Machine) services via VDI. Diebold's program aims to transform how enterprises deliver business services by divorcing the dedicated/proprietary hardware from the business service through virtualization technology.
In a phone conference, Mark Kropf, who works in Diebold s Emerging Technologies division, explained that most ATMs in the United States today are based on a built-in PC processor, which runs a version of Microsoft's Windows XP. He added that over time those installations have become complex and difficult to manage. Kropf acknowledged that going the VDI route will give Diebold and its banking customers the ability to more efficiently deliver ATM services.
"We do have a process to go in and retrofit an ATM with a zero client device and uplift the ATM to extend its useful life," Kropf said. Diebold is building its virtualized ATM solution using Cisco products. The success of Diebold s project will have a lasting impact on the VDI market by demonstrating how VDI can be used to do more than just physical enterprise desktop replacement. There is a potential for additional growth.
In a study last year, ABI Research predicted that the worldwide market for hosted virtual desktops is forecast to grow from about $500 million in 2009 to nearly $5 billion in 2016. North America and Europe will comprise the majority of the market for virtual desktops throughout the forecast period. If VDI can be extended to more than hosted virtual desktops, the market could grow even more significantly than ABI Research has predicted.
Diebold has an OEM relationship with Cisco to help create the zero client devices for the ATMs. Diebold has standardized on the Cisco UCS server platform for their server core and backend services. Kropf said that the VDI deployment in the server core is very dense since the memory and CPU specifications for a virtual ATM are much lower than is required for a typical user desktop.
Cisco UCS, which was announced in March 2009, is a converged server platform that is optimized for virtualization and VDI deployments, which has continually evolved to offer more capabilities and services. Kropf noted that moving towards VDI has not been without its fair share of challenges for Diebold. When Diebold started the project more than two and a half years ago, each virtual ATM required more than 100M bps of bandwidth.
"VDI is very focused on the user and we have a kiosk setup and the UCS performance numbers were based on server virtualization," Kropf said. "So we're constantly testing and learning more about our density and how far we can push it."
"There are so many things that this opens up. And that is why instead of working in a silo and taking five years to develop this, we've announced this early and we're working with customers," Kropf said. "We see this as a story that will continue on in our industry and our cloud computing future."

Our recent post Boss and Buddy: Can a Leader Be Both? provoked comments from our readers that captured our attention. We found them eye opening and wanted to respond. As we thought about them, we realized a larger reality. What do teachers think of the job their leaders are doing? Is that how the leaders think they are perceived? When we wrote Boss and Buddy: Can a Leader Be Both? , we were thinking about the potentially conflicting roles leaders have to maneuver. We didn't anticipate we'd uncover the views our readers expressed.
The sad truth is that it is easier for administrators to dictate than it is for them to reason. They will always condescend, deprecate, insult and otherwise relegate teachers to the lower rungs of society. After all, they were smart enough to move out of the classroom they couldn't manage. They are blessed with the knowledge that the real money is in admin. (Which is a bunch of garbage and a lie). Crappy teachers make crappy administrators. It is a given. Live with it.
Excellent discussion of types of leadership, unfortunately we seem to be plagued by the dominant, bossy kind of leaders. Very few principals have the personal or professional qualities and experience to be transformational leaders. Most of them never took the time to develop the necessary skills to become effective educational leaders, so they become just transactional leaders, always reaching for the stick. There are just too many careerists, poor teachers desperate to get out of the classroom, and people with dictatorial tendencies in the principal's ranks, people who perfectly fit the dominant profile.
With the school climate today, I wouldn't want to be an administrator. Most are now paper pushers and mandate followers versus wanting to lead their staffs anywhere for the benefit of students...We just spent 45 minutes of a staff meeting reviewing test expectations and resources for the spring test, a test that now must be taken on a computer within a system that continually crashes...but hey, we somehow all needed to hear that info...even though one third of us will not be administering the d thing...Few administrators want to truly lead. It's easier to collect that paycheck by not rocking the boat and by throwing useless mandates at staff members. Very few administrators are visionaries...When you have an administrator tell you her vision is to raise test scores, then a few years later tell you during a PD 2 hrs: "You need to listen because I put this together for you..." then collect notes taken that day....It's hard to see leadership as described in the post.
...Few teachers get into education for the pay. But there's a subset of teachers who go into education not to teach, but to climb the ladder. In my thirty years, I've seen one physical education or special education teacher after another teach for five to seven years, go get an M.S. in administration, and then start climbing. One made it as far as regional superintendent. In my experience, that particular subset was never really good at teaching. As a consequence they were mediocre (at best) administrators. The goal was money and a career-climb, not young people.
Actually, there are many people who move into administration just for the money. When the top teacher salary in California is less than $80,000.00, with more than 20 years experience and advanced degrees, and the BEGINNING salary for a principal is more than $100,000.00 per year, with just a few years experience in the classroom (as few as three), and an administrative credential, it's easy to see why so many careerists go into teaching, just to become administrators and make the real good money. Unfortunately, these are the individuals who become tyrants and despots. Granted, not all principals fit into this group, but most of them do.
Although we hesitate to generalize these comments as a reflection of the majority opinion, we feel compelled to share our thoughts about what is happening in school leadership and the sad truth for those who perceive their leaders as "dominant and bossy". We, of course, do not know each and every school leader across country. What we do know is that a great number of the leaders we do know work hard, are serious about keeping children at the heart of that work and have great respect for those who are in classrooms. They aspire to being the best they can be. But, we acknowledge they are the gatekeepers through which all regulations and polices flow. They frequently are delivering messages not of their own writing. There may even be days when they feel like "paper pushers and mandate followers".
The knowledge, skills, and personal attributes successful leaders must possess need constant attention, nurturing, and development. But if leadership is questioned and perceived to be "bossy and dominant", there is work to be done. From the comments provoked by the post, there is a need for leaders who can lead rather than manage.
One important acknowledgement we found in one response was that there are teachers who are in need of improvement. It is rare to hear a teacher admit that. Although it was stated in response to a leader in need of improvement, it is a good beginning to admit that in each role in the school system, there is always room for improvement. Truth telling is a good beginning.
Schools have, of late, been the target of the public criticism. It is not easy to lead nor work in a system where higher performance, more transparency, and the implementation of new and different standards and standardized tests and budget woes are a constant. School leaders and teachers feel burdened by the incessant demands and feel pressured to implement them, correctly and fast. In that process, have some changed paths from one of leader to one of manager, and, for some, to policeman or woman ordering and accounting for progress. Perhaps that is what our responders see.
The most disturbing and common thread in the comments was about "climbing the ladder". Are there those who enter school leadership to earn more money? Probably yes. Although we think most would say they entered leadership roles to have a wider positive impact on students and culture. There is a responsibility that comes with leadership whether embraced gracefully or with a heavy hand. We have walked in those shoes and know the heavy weight of responsibility for the school or district. We know the unlimited work day and week. We know the responsibility for human interactions and safety of all. We know how easy it can be for vision to fade in the midst of the urgent daily life. But, we also know relationships are essential. School leaders cannot succeed with them.
But, our readers brought us to hard ground at the comments about who enters leadership. Our systems will never get better if they are right. We have held a lifelong belief that only the best teachers should become leaders. We know many of them who have chosen that path. Those who become leaders to escape the classroom typically do not serve well. As an educational community could we agree that poor teachers and aspiring dictators and tyrants need not apply to lead schools? If we can, perhaps, in a boss or buddy role, we could then ask our faculty how they see us and be brave enough to listen.

I want to set the cropping section set to 10 seconds time. Is it possible to do with default image picker. Is it is how may I do it?

A: Try This code..
-(void)recordVideo{
    imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc]init];
    imagePicker.delegate = self;
    imagePicker.allowsEditing = YES;
    imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
    imagePicker.mediaTypes = [[NSArray alloc]initWithObjects:(NSString *) kUTTypeMovie, (NSString *) kUTTypeMPEG4, nil];
    imagePicker.videoQuality = UIImagePickerControllerQualityTypeIFrame1280x720;
    [imagePicker setVideoMaximumDuration:10.0f];
    sourceType = [UIImagePickerController availableMediaTypesForSourceType:imagePicker.sourceType];
    if (![sourceType containsObject:(NSString *) kUTTypeMovie]) {
        NSLog(@"Can not Save Video");
    }
    [self presentModalViewController:imagePicker animated:YES];
