Wheelchair Safety

Safety on the wheels is a concern for everyone. The question is how.

Keeping a safe environment for wheelchair users is easier said than done. There are a diverse set of factors that are involved which make ensuring safety on wheels quite difficult. However numerous these may be, a general set of tips is helpful to decrease the occurrence of wheelchair-related accidents if not totally eradicate it.

We are working on a premise that the rider is able enough to carry himself using the wheelchair. Cases when the patient needs assistance for mobility are another case and won’t be hold much weight here though there are some advice that will be applicable to them as well.

A very sensible thing to follow is to keep your wheelchair in a good working condition. Much like other things say a car, the wheelchair requires ample amounts of maintenance to keep it in a tip-top working condition. A well maintained wheelchair significantly reduces the risk of mishaps happening. Just imagine yourself cruising with your wheelchair on the expressway negotiating a 100 mile/hour run when suddenly your wheel just runs off. The result won’t be pretty. Of course it’s an overstatement but from the example you can see the possible outcome of this negligence. A sudden breakdown of your wheelchair will most likely result to a broken hip or a twisted ankle to name a few. The condition of you wheel is very important to your well-being and safety.

Never put things in your chair that are likely to cause you to tip over like heavy books at the back part as this may cause you to tip over. It is intended to be used as a seat and not as a shelf. Also, avoid staying in areas where you are most likely to be hit like the back of doors. You’ll be sent flying if someone suddenly opens the door. Do not let children play with your chair. They might end up riding one as well.

Like all normal activities, you must exercise enough caution when riding you wheelchair. For instance, if you need to cross a street take the customary stop, look and listen routine. Be extra conscious in mounting your chair as your mobility is significantly reduced.

It still is best to take every precautionary step to make sure no accident happen. Though we can never totally prevent these from taking place, at least the chances of it happening is greatly reduced. Be aware of your surroundings and be aware of yourself. It is always better safe than sorry.

Do You Need to Protect Your Computer Rooms From Fire?

If you are in business can you honestly say that you are fully protected in the event of a fire? Discover secrets today to why you should not let fire suppression take a back seat and how it could save you going out of business.

The protection of data centres from fire is essential, however not to many business owners are aware of this.

The facts are that 43% of businesses that suffer with a significant fire never reopen for business. This begs the question, why is it an issue that in many cases it can take a back seat?

Its understandable in business there are always expenses to be considered and the cost of fire suppression is often overlooked. It is a proven fact that this is a big mistake, many business owners have realised this unfortunately after the event.

If you have a data centre of any substantial size then you will have an air conditioning system in place to control the temperature. The reason for the air conditioning is data centres create a tremendous amount of heat. In the event of the air conditioning system fails to function this could catch fire at any time, and the results could be devastating all data could be lost in just a few minutes which has taken years to build.

So what is the conclusion we have to arrive at to evade this?

Then answer is simple and that is to get protected with a fire suppression system. It's remarkable that the word fire suppression is under a misapprehension, and not many individuals have a clue in this regard.

Water and computers are not a good combination this is why the word suppression is to be taken note of. In order to restrain a fire it is essential to decrease the oxygen in the atmosphere by releasing gas through a valve using extreme pressure.

The gases used in these situations can vary from man made gasses which is FM200, this would be described as a synthetic gas Other gases used could be natural gasses such as IG55 which is made up of 50% Argon and 50% Nitrogen.

Let's consider where fire suppression would be affective and is widely used.

Primarily data centres and computer rooms are top of the list, and the main reason is this cannot be protected by water, because that would not be described as protection, all that would achieve would be to extinguish the fire when it is underway.

Further areas to be protected with fire suppression are art galleries, museums, antique centres, power generation plants just to name a few.

Many people are concerned to the safety of human life when the gas is discharged. The facts are the with regard to IG55 this is made up of the air we breath so it is perfectly safe. Having said that so is FM200 and has been in use for the past 15 years in 65 nations throughout the world in a human environment.

Alternative Energy Initiatives - Let The Sun Shine On All Of Us

Recently, I attended an Alternative Energy Convention - one of many I attended over the last few years. It seems like these type of conventions are getting more and longer every month. My opinion is that that these conventions are held so often nowadays because the Global Warming Crisis that we are facing is growing more rapidly than scientists initially anticipated.

What worries me is that at all these conventions, the "clever" people and the "powers-that-be" agree that our needs (and "wants") are outpacing what Mother Earth can provide. They all agree that we must look into initiatives to generated cleaner, greener alternative energy sources. Some of them had ideas of using currents in the ocean, some agree that the wind is the answer and some look at the sun. The truth is that most of them went back home in there energy-thirsty 4-track vehicles, not to ever think of their noble ideas again.

A attend these conventions because I am an engineer in appliances that generatate sustainable alternative energy for big corporations - even in the oil industry. I asked many times, but not once did I get a turn to speak or to air my opinion at a convention. You see, I'm not a scientist, politician, or a chairman of an organization that wants to save the earth - I'm merely a person with an interest in doing what these meetings are called for - that is generating alternative energy.

What these "know-alls-but-do-nothings" do not realize is that alternative energy is not only limited to corporations, but that the small guy, the individual, can also contribute. The challenge is to "school" people and to promote the idea. It is not just about driving hybrid cars, and doing recycling - it is more about our own efforts to "whip" the energy, oil, and manufacturing industry (I'm convinced that many of these conventions are held by them, anyway).

Well, I already decided a few years ago that "charity" begins at home and I started to research small-sized appliances of generating alternative energy - something that any family can afford. My research lead me to the Internet and I was pleasantly surprized that many websites provide resources that teach you how to build your own appliances to generate alternative energy.

However....Since I began with my quest to find an inexpensive solution all those years ago, I've been through literally every emotion imaginable - frustration... anger... jubilation! Eventually, and after a lot of hard work, I did filter out the best resources on the Internet and ever since then I'm generating enough energy to go 'off-grid' - that's right I "whipped" the energy company - they're not getting a dime from me anymore. Now, all of a sudden, I'm also "smart" enough to be invited as guest speaker at conventions and seminars about alternative energy!

See, nowadays, trying to find the resources to make your own energy is difficult because there are so many guides, videos, and websites on the market to choose from and unless you have the time and money to test them out, you're basically going to go round in circles....and potentially lose a lot of money.

Added to my quest to "go green", I'm saving $1000s a year on energy bills! In the last year or two I focussed on small-sized energy saving appliances for the average household. I'm also often asked to do reviews of products and training material about this subject.

I came to realize that "charity" realy starts at home, and that home is Earth. I also believe that we shouldn't look or drill deep down into a hole to find our energy - let's look up - after all the sun has enough sustainable energy to shine on all of us.

Does Dry Skin Cause Wrinkles?

Many people slather on moisturizers every day thinking that they will reduce or prevent dry skin, and that, in turn they will reduce or prevent wrinkles. Is it true? Many things that cause wrinkles have nothing to do with whether or not the skin is dry - cellular aging, muscle movement, and loss of estrogen, for example. However, there are factors that dry skin and wrinkles have in common and, fortunately, they are not difficult to control. The first step is to understand dry skin, and how it comes about.

Preventing dry skin and wrinkles is dependant on both internal and external factors, but one of the most important, and the most easily addressed, is the integrity of the skin's surface. When it is not assaulted by harsh, drying chemicals and environmental conditions, the surface of the skin is a protective barrier. The list of things it needs protection from is quite extensive:

 Dry weather
 Cold weather
 Sun
 Hot water
 Chlorine in water
 Heating and air conditioning
 Almost all household cleaning products
 Almost all facial care products
 Almost all cosmetics
 Airborne bacteria, pollutants and chemicals in the environment

Each of these irritates, damages, dries, and eventually breaks down that surface barrier, causing dry skin.

Underneath the surface layer lies the structure of the skin, largely consisting of collagen and elastin. Both require moisture for proper functionality – moisture that is easily depleted through the surface of the skin when it is damaged and dry. Without the moisture, the underlying layer is damaged, and the production of collagen and elastin slows down. Basically, the structure starts to cave in. That's the wrinkle connection.

The answer is to do whatever you can to minimize your exposure to the items on the list above, and to use a shielding lotion to protect you from the things you cannot control. A shielding lotion bonds with the outer layer of the skin to form a new protective barrier that those elements destroy and, voila, no dry skin, and improved resistance to wrinkles.

What is SMS?

The application of a systematic, proactive, and well-defined safety program (as is inherent in a SMS) allows an organization producing a product or service to strike a realistic and efficient balance between safety and production. SMS is one way to contribute to this effort by increasing the likelihood that aviation companies, airport operators and government agencies will detect and correct safety problems before those problems result in an aircraft accident or incident.

Similar to other management functions, Safety Management requires planning, organizing, communicating and providing direction. A well designed SMS program provides for the Management of Safety in a systematic and proactive way. An SMS program also needs to have a formal risk management program that analyzes, assesses and ultimately reduces risk. SMS programs need not be complex and are normally comprised of four elements

• Safety Policy and Objectives

• Safety Risk Management

• Safety Assurance

• Safety Promotion

To be effective, an SMS program needs to state the safety policies and objectives so that each employee, from the CEO on down, understands that the company takes safety seriously and that each individual has a responsibility in regards to safety. This safety policy should be signed by top level management so that everybody understands the company’s dedication to providing a safe and hazard free environment.

A company also needs a risk management program. This program should identify how the company actively seeks out risks and hazards associated with the companies operations. Once these risks and hazards are identified, they will need to be added to a database and then analyzed to determine if action should be taken and what that action should be.

Safety assurance is gained by auditing your companies operations and safety procedures. These audits can be internal, external or both. Any discrepancies that are noted should be reviewed and corrected as necessary. Also the results should be published so that all employees can learn how they can specifically help to fix any noted discrepancies.

If you want your safety program to be successful, you have to do more than just write policies and procedures. You will need to train your employees on what SMS is and their specific responsibilities in regards to SMS. Safety should also be promoted through the use of safety information like newsletters, bulletins or posters. Safety promotion is also accomplished through continuous improvement. As hazards are identified, risks determined and mitigated through corrective actions, system improvements through training and revised policies and procedures, then follow-up begins the safety process over again.

SMS does not have to complicated or expensive. You just need to evaluate your company’s operations and associated risks. You then need to use this information to determine how you will meet the four required elements. Actually the less complicated your system is, the more likely people will get involved which will help to ensure the success of the program.

Safety Is High Priority in Selecting a Tour Bus Company

Whenever travel on the highways is involved safety should be a top priority. That is no less so when selecting a bus company for your tour. Several elements are involved in the issue of safety when bus tour companies are concerned. They are: The condition of the bus itself The driver The length of time a tour bus company has been in business and that company’s safety record A bus tour company’s understanding of laws and regulations A company’s involvement in such organizations as the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Its compliance to U.S. Department of Transportation and Department of Defence regulations

The Bus

One issue that is up front for you to actually see is the tour bus itself.

The age of the fleet of buses used by a tour bus company should be considered. It should be obvious that the latest models of buses should be in the fleet. The latest, the better. Many companies like USA Bus Charter says that they replace their buses after 10 years of service. They also point out that there are bus companies that own buses that are as old as 25 years. In short, you don’t want the transportation you will be using to be too old. Inquire with the bus tour company about the age of their fleet.

If at all possible, go to the tour bus company and inspect their buses. Check the interior, the exterior and underneath. Look at the tires including the tread depth and examine the seat covers, dents, bumps, scratches and cleanliness. If all of that is not up to your standards, then it is possible that the company is not concerned with safety and appearance as a top priority.

If things look good after a visual inspection, don’t be afraid to ask questions concerning things you don’t see.

And that would be how often the buses are analyzed by the company’s mechanics. It is not uncommon for well managed tour bus companies to have their mechanics inspect things every time a bus returns to the garage.

The Driver

The driver of a tour bus, not the president of the tour bus company, is probably the most important employee.

When push comes to shove, it is the skills of the driver that assures that the bus gets to its destination on time and that the trip is safe.

Of course, you would expect that the driver has experience. Industry standards call for the driver to have at least three years experience. Some companies are stricter than that and call for them to have a little more.

This could be as much as five years or more. Of course, the more experience they have, the more skilled they are in driving the bus. But they are also knowledgeable of the routes they are expected to drive and would be well seasoned to be able to find alternative routes should the need arise.

An important element in assuring that you get to the destination on time.

You will want the driver to be emotionally balanced. It’s been said that there are three types of drivers (not necessarily bus drivers): the passive, the aggressive and the hostile. Of course, you want a driver who is passive. You would expect him to keep a safe distance from the vehicle in front, not speed, slows down when it is raining, drive with caution at night, etc.

You also want the driver to be alert when he is driving and drug free. To assure that drugs are not an issue there are laws the require companies test prospective drivers during the hiring process and then to administer random drug tests.

You want the driver’s schedule to be such that it doesn’t change his sleep patterns.

Commonly, drivers are expected to drive 10 hours. A driver who has a schedule of sleeping at night should stick to that. He should not be expected to drive all night. It is better to be safe and permit the driver to either share the duties with some one who could drive at night or allow him to pull the coach into a motel where he and the passengers can get a good night’s sleep before proceeding on a gruelling trip of let’s say 1,000 miles without rest.

Making certain that the passengers of the bus – that means you -- stays on their best behaviour is another perhaps overlooked responsibility of the driver. How you act can be a safety issue. It is not a bad thing for the driver to pleasantly remind passengers of such etiquette as remaining seated when the bus is in motion, move to the restroom by holding on to overhead racks,

handrails or headrests to assure good footing, never stand up before the bus has come to a stop, and activity that could prove to be distracting to the driver be minimized if not totally avoided.

A Company’s Record

The longer a company has been in business the better chance that it will be well managed and have a good safety record. The companies that don’t have a good safety record won’t be in business for any length of time.

One entity that assists you in the research of a company’s record is the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov).

The organization’s website includes a safety and security page that provides you with all sorts of information including a safety database, a snapshot or profile of particular companies and safety initiatives.

Moreover, the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Department of Defence have regulations that tour bus companies are expected to follow. For example, the Department of Transportation requires tour bus companies to assure that their drivers are fully qualified. Companies that comply urge that their drivers have a current commercial driver’s license with a passenger endorsement, undergo a thorough physical and hold a valid medical certificate.

You can find out more by visiting the U.S. Department of Transportation website at http://www.ai.fmcsa.dot.gov/Passenger/home.asp.

The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) is involved in regulating motor coach safety because these companies are often used by military personnel and the DOD wants to make certain that their troops are safe. The DOD monitors the bus industry through the Military Traffic Management Command (MTMC). This part of the DOD implements and maintains a “pre-qualification” process.

The DOD will not allow any bus company to transport military personnel until its buses have been inspected by the MTMC. The MTMC also analyze a carrier’s performance, reliability and responsiveness. The MTMC has a rating system using a scale of 1 to 5.The best rating is 1 and the worst is 5. Companies rated from 1 to 3 are approved to transport military personnel. More on the MTMC can be found at their website.

Finally, nothing is perfect. Things go wrong. The best companies, however, provide a mechanism to make the wrong right. To assure that such a remedy can take place, you should find out who to contact in the company when something does go wrong. Some companies equip their drivers with cell phones that permit them to call the company to help solve a problem that the driver can’t. Later, if you have a complaint or a comment you can call the designated employee who you can alert to a problem and who work with you to solve it.

The mission of a tour bus company is to provide you with a service that will make your tour as pleasant as possible.

Types of Reflective Tape for Clothing

Whether a person is in a professional work environment, is out jogging at night, performing a rescue in a dangerous area, working out on the open water or is in any other situation where visibility is crucial, reflective safety clothing has been designed to protect them. In order to protect people in these situations, manufacturers around the globe have created retroreflective and fluorescent textiles which use reflective tape for clothing. This tape captures light and shines it back to the source, making the person wearing the clothing exponentially easier to see.

The History of Reflective Tape for Clothing

The earliest high visibility clothing with reflective technology can be traced back to the earlier 20th century, but the clothing was impracticable, uncomfortable and inconvenient. When clothing becomes a problem, professionals won't wear it. In order to improve safety, manufacturers needed a practical design that wouldn't hinder work performance.

It wasn't until 1970 that more comfortable designs were created, starting with belts that featured simple sew on reflective tape. In 1982, research and development into reflective technology led to the creation of reflective safety vests that used various components to improve visibility. The vests included a harness that incorporated battery-powered electrical lights as well as phosphorescent patches. Later, to reduce the bulkiness of the garments, reflective components became mainstream, including white and yellow reflective tape.

The most important goal of safety clothing with sewed on reflective tape and other reflective additions is to increase and improve visibility. How these additions improve the visibility of the clothing item is determined by both the design and the classification of the clothing. Three different classifications are used to break down reflective equipment like vests and personal protective equipment. The classification varies on both the visibility of the item as well as how much reflective gear was used in creating the item.

For those in non-professional settings such as people who go jogging or recreational walking near areas with traffic, several items exist that feature reflective tape to increase visibility. The amounts of reflective material on these pieces of clothing are generally small. Professional workers on the other hand can expect to run into a wide variety of garments that meet different classification levels such as those by the government or other institutions. These items can range from a simple coverage like a vest that's good for parking lots and other low traffic situations or highly reflective full jackets and pants with 360 degrees of visibility with multiple layers and reflective tape that is added to increase visibility from all angles.


Types of Reflective Clothing

The most common type of high visibility clothing is the vest. It's a sleeveless vest worn over clothing with a number of strips of reflective tape. There are a number of other types depending on working conditions, environment and job duties (or hazards). This can include all-weather wear, cold-performance, high-heat flame retardant protective equipment with fire-resistant reflective tape, gloves, boots, shoes, hats, packs, bands and flags - all of which feature some form of reflective tape for improved visibility. Recreational clothing, or personal clothing, is also available with similar reflective material in the form of pants, shirts, jackets and even reflective accessories (logos, zippers, etc.)

The progress for increased visibility and design improvements for reflective clothing is never ending for the manufacturers. By striving to create improved retroreflection with microprism technology, improved comfort, better performance for sewed on reflective tape, and highly-visible variations in the fluorescent backing material, manufacturers continue to make both professionals and civilians safe whenever they wear reflective gear.


When you need to achieve maximum visibility and performance without sacrificing quality of your garment line, you need to choose loxy reflective tape for clothing. Our products ensure you meet regulatory standards while producing long lasting, quality reflective clothing using sew on reflective tape that outperforms others in the industry.

Solar Electric Systems - Can It Give Enough Power To All Of My Electrial Appliances At Home?

Solar powered energy technologies supply a fully clean, domestic and renewable energy source. Solar Power International also performs using grassroots and even development institutions to advertise stability as well as greatly enhance high quality of life globally via practical outreach programs. Solar power has been known for five billion years, from the moment the sun was born. And also people have already been utilizing solar energy for a very long time.

Solar powered energy generation is hassle-free and anybody are capable of accomplishing it, allow it to be less complicated on oneself having a great total guide. Solar power may also be utilized to satisfy our electrical energy needs. This electrical energy might be employed as it really is or may be stored inside the battery. Solar powered energy may just be kept in batteries to light a roadside billboard at the evening. Or perhaps the power could possibly be saved in a battery as an emergency roadside mobile phone in cases where no telephone wires are present.

Power effectiveness has been proven as a cost-effective technique for constructing economies with out essentially increasing power usage. As an example, the state of California started applying energy-efficiency measures inside the mid-1970s, which includes developing code and appliance standards with strict efficiency needs. Power efficiency decreases the requirement for power in a developing. If a constructing requirements much less power, it needs less solar power panels, which often drives down the price of the installation for the constructing owner. Power proficiency can be a multidisciplinary field covering anything from environmental and economic science, to social and engineering science. In addition, it involves policy science and psychology.

Solar electric systems can effortlessly cut down or perhaps get rid of one's electrical bill. These photovoltaic systems are usually advantageous to our environment producing electrical energy from sun rays. Solar electric systems may also create electrical energy on cloudy days, even though generation is drastically decreased. Tiny solar electric systems can create a substantial factor to meeting power wants. Solar electric systems differ not merely in terms of high quality, but also cost. You are able to discover each low cost and costly solar energy panels available on the market.

Solar electric systems create electrical energy silently and without requiring almost any moving parts. Sunlight drops on the solar array and produces DC electrical energy. Solar Electric systems could be greatest used by all those other solar applications apart from pool or maybe even water heating. Having a solar hot water heater together having a Solar Electric method would trigger a benefit period of a lot more than 10 years.

Energy alone just isn't sufficient, though. Methods to make a solar program is much less challenging than you might believe and is especially an excellent approach to provide back-up energy or just existing comfort within the back nation or inside the RV. Energy is measured in watts, and also the power you use is measured in kilowatt hours. And this is what you pay for- and what you’ll save lots of- as soon as you install a full solar power method. Energy costs will remain going up, or you'll pay much more for the program. Nevertheless, over the lengthy run, installing now could be more affordable than waiting.

Identify whether damaged the power supply

Previous computer monitor used 14-/15-inch LCD PC monitors by using dial to adjust, power switch is the hard-switching. When turn off the monitor power switch. monitor internal power supply is completely cut off. As for the display using CNC technology, its working state controled by the display's internal MCU.When you turn off the monitor power switch, monitor the switching power supply circuit section and the Department of MCU is still in working state. If you do not use display for a long time , it is best to unplug the monitor power plug



1 Damage to the power switch

the power switch of CNC monitor works in the small current state,the rate of damage is very small.When you insert the monitor power plug, if we can hear the slight "crack" sound, indicating the internal monitor switching power supply is normal, while the power fuse intact. If the display of power that does not light, in most cases is not a bad switch, but the power circuit.



2 Fuse damage

If the fuse is damaged, do not easily replace the fuse, and fuse should further identify the causes of damage. Basic judging criteria are as follows:

Glass tube surface is clear and transparent,Only one internal fuse fused.This is due to unexpected electricity surge voltage circuit in the presence or because of frequent switching machine, there may also be the work of the ambient temperature is too low and unexpected fuse.at this time fuse can be replaced directly with the same model.

Note: The display and color TV with the same insurance, rather than the ordinary delay fuse, generally 14,15,17 can be used 3.15A, some 17 5A fuse should be adopted. The fuse for the use of ceramic packages, the best alternative use of the same model in order to avoid frequent replacement of fuse.

Glass tube surface with a yellow and black sputtering dirt,and can see the shape of the internal fuse.This is generally the circuit tube breakdown, due to power PWM control block breakdown

Glass tubes serious burst.This is generally not vulnerable, mostly due to short-circuit power directly. Should be carefully examined before the rectifier circuit, as well as degaussing coil.

or cracking of the surface of glass tubes, difficult to see the internal situation.This is generally a two 220V rectifier diode breakdown, capacitor breakdown caused by short circuit.



3 Damage the power cord.Sometimes because of accident or collision pulling force, internal power supply line may also be broken, then the method of replacement can be used to identify.



4 Plug the power cord and display loose.Sometimes specification is not very standard, and do not consistent with the display of the power outlet very tight, causing poor contact .will result the phenomenon of light is on and off,not working properly. and monitors the power increase is not the same. just like can't connect the power.



Whether abnormal sound

Inherent several normal voice of display: the voice of degaussing circuit magnetization (bang bang, and the degaussing relay synchronization, sound close to the overlap), the internal degaussing relay sound (clicking twice, interval 4S), line circuit relay sound (clicking the once or twice with more force), high-voltage charge voice (the voice creak Lala about 3 seconds).

1,Clear "flap" sound of high-voltage discharge

This is generally due to a high voltage discharge circuit around FBT phenomenon.Return to service. Note: If the display is intermittent or continuous within the "flap" sound of high-voltage discharge, the time should be immediately shut down, or because of high voltage discharge to the breakdown of other components, so that failure extend the tubes caused serious or even scrapped.

2,Relay continuous action "clicking" sound

Note: For numerical display, each time you switch, have a "clicking" sound of the degaussing relay chorus, spaced about 4 seconds, then release.Some also accompanied by S correction circuit relay pull-sound, but this is only at boot time and change the screen mode, it appears.

3,Slight "squeaking" sound

Display a slight internal short circuit, causing power supply overloading caused.Return to service.

Note: Some monitors display panel switch is pressed, the display will be more obvious inside the "creak" sound, because the switching transformer to light loads, self-generated sounds.Some few seconds away, and some may still exist, unless you unplug the monitor power plug. But this is normal.

4,Weak weak "blah" sound

If there is such a sound, sometimes accompanied by power indicator light and dark flashes.This is because the power supply circuit has a serious short circuit.Return to service.

5,Apparent "imperfections" sound

This is not a display switching transformer caused the grounding side loose. Return to service.



Odor judge

1,Sour

If there is such a taste. General internal capacitor overheating or over-voltage burst, the capacitor acid gas spill.

2,Paste flavor

Generally because of the large heat source within the display items such as power tubes, diodes, resistors and other large excess heat caused by burning of the circuit board.

3,Odor

This is generally due to the high-pressure mouth of monitors wet then leakage of the air discharge



Display image is not normal

1,Horizontal line

one or two faint horizontal (approximately 0.2mm width)

For the Sony Trinitron monitors, because of their use of grid-shaped mask plates, in order to prevent deformation of the shadow mask plate added damping line, 15 "for one 17" for two

a few centimeters wide, gray or dark gray bar

If the display appears in the course of a few centimeters wide and deep color interference may be moved up and down and from time to time, when the circuit can be judged is the display part of a Weld-line situation.



2,Vertical line

imperceptible thin vertical line

For the Sony Trinitron monitors, probably because the temperature is too low, mask plate caused a slight deformation, such as this usually disappears when the temperature is normal.

a few centimeters wide, gray or dark gray vertical bar

This is not a field with circuit caused damage or if Weld.

the left thread

Display on the left near the edge of the slightly thin, this is caused because the current production technology, only some display obvious that some not obvious.They are qualified if they do not affect the normal use of both products.

either side of the S-shaped vertical movement of the vertical bar

This usually is due to the power monitor diode rectifier circuits in individual tubes or damage caused by high voltage capacitance decreases.



3,Black spots

1,one or 2-3 small black spots

As the current production technology with no guarantee on every CRT phosphors are completely normal, so there is an individual display or 2-3 small black spots, this is normal.

large black spots

This black spots usually appear in the display center, which is usually because the circuit failure caused by consumption highlights the central position of the phosphor due to premature aging. This situation can not be repaired.

irregular beating of the black spots.This is usually caused by the interference of the internal display.



4,Highlights

small white highlights.With black specks, and is caused because the production process.

Color Highlights.Splashing water droplets or oil droplets due to the CRT surface light scattering. Scrubbing can be removed.

Irregular white block.For the display surface coating is caused due to surface coating to peel.Beyond repair.

Irregular beating of the white spots appear or white line, about 1-2 mm in diameter.This is usually caused by external strong signal interference.However, when the internal circuit failures have this phenomenon.



5,Water ripple

As the current production technology and processes can not completely eliminate the water ripple display (also known as Moore interference), can only decrease.Some customers called the water ripple serious "vortex." Sometimes, like as the wind from one end to the other side of the display. When just opened machine's display, this phenomenon is very obvious, but after half an hour or more, this situation should be reduced or disappear.As long as interference in the allowed range, all is normal.Display a slight edge of water ripple is normal, the more obvious focus more clearly waterlines.We should note that: If you want to display work well should be supplied a standard work environment, otherwise would be a very strange fault.



6,Flicker caused generally due to the refresh rate too low. But if you transferred to 75HZ refresh rate monitor above, the image is still flickering as before, this may be a problem with the internal circuit monitors.



7,Shake

The whole image up and down the whole site at the same time jitter. Poor market performance of the circuit.

About the same time, beat the whole image. Line circuit performance not good.

CRT screen image is only part of the region around chattering.

Image brightness changed significantly, sometimes accompanied by changes in image size.



8,Fuzzy

â‘  Clear beginning, with the use of time, become increasingly blurred.

This is the display line scanning circuit in question may be FBT (Fly Back Transfer) leakage drift, it may be line management, reverse-way diode capacitance reverse process due to poor thermal stability. This failure can only return to service.

â‘¡ First fuzzy, over 10 minutes or half an hour after the clear and normal.

This is usually caused by damp CRT tube socket. Most of the work environment because the display where the humidity too much, not always monitor the use of seat tube due to increased moisture resistance.Minor fault when the continuous operation of the display of several hours can be resolved.If the failure is serious this time to replace CRT sockets.

â‘¢ The CRTtank screen image blurred, illegible text and image detail.

This is generally the focus potentiometer FBT move, or FBT leakage.If the age-old CRT monitor mostly due to the aging of defocusing.If the potentiometer can be adjusted to solve mobile, if the leakage is only through the replacement of FBT FBT.

â‘£ The CRT screen image in one direction as the wind-like tail.

Then you can compare at this time whether the OSD menu is the same phenomenon.If not, this may be faulty graphics card. If so, this is the display of the color processing circuit fault caused.

⑤ CRT screen part of the area with color trim.

This is not a static display good convergence performance. When the display part of the magnetization when there is the phenomenon.The failure need to disassemble to adjust.



9,Deformation

â‘  just opened the screen when there is such a small machine, basically to normal after a few minutes.

This is a display typical "breathing effect" Bale is just too obvious. Display in the work under normal circumstances, the image should not be significantly larger or smaller, if such note display certain elements within the good thermal stability.

â‘¡ image distortion.

Images distorted by adjusting the OSD menu or adjust the unit does not shut off after the loss of normal, indicating that the display memory circuit or MCU control circuit problem.

â‘¢ When the display switch different mode, the image changes significantly, or in 640 * 480 is also Man-screen, but obviously under 800 * 600 screen reduced in 1024 * 768 into a narrow under the section, but the content integrity and image clarity. This is the display's internal B + voltage automatic tracking circuit problems, the general problem is the line scanning block and some features or damage caused by MCU.



10,Splash

Irregular blocks of color on the screen or part of the regional apparent bias in a particular color or Pianan, this is because the display caused by magnetization.If the minor magnetization, degaussing circuit through the display itself (note: do not repeat the degaussing in half an hour.), If the display itself can not be eliminated, you can try degaussing wand will be solved. However, if the display board inside the magnetic shield Meng or deformation, the stain is not removed.



11,Color cast

â‘  If the apparent lack of a color display (R, G, BTANK), this is the problem caused by display signaling pathway.Please check the 15-pin D-shaped plug, see 1,2, 3-pin if they are defective.If there is no signal line is broken or the end of the internal circuit board problem.

â‘¡ If the display screen is constant R or G or B, and adjust the void, which is very touching because the internal CRT or tail circuit.

â‘¢ If significant bias background image a certain color, then you can try to RGB by OSD menu to adjust back to normal.If not, is due to tube aging.





12,Too dark and the display screen at maximum brightness

If the display brightness too dark, but this time adjusting the brightness is 100, then enter the factory mode to adjust the brightness of the deputy.Because the display mode of each of the memory in the display are user data and standard data, when the user to adjust, the display of the MCU must current data and standard data for comparison, in order to prevent causing display circuit protection. If the display changes to the standard data is accidental, then the display appears too dark or too bright situation.



13,Monitor circuit and can not be too bright, dim

If the display brightness is too bright, even if the brightness adjusted to 0, the image is very bright, which is the display brightness control circuit (ABL or ABC circuit) due to loss of control.This failure to disassemble, repair.



14,After the shutdown screen there is a bright spot, about 3-5 seconds and then disappeared

This is because the news highlights display a fault in the circuit, can not effectively prevent the shutdown is still in the high temperature of the cathode to the launch of the electronic screen, because there is no deflection circuit, when the electrons hit the screen to form a diameter of about 3-5 mm spot.If this occurred a long time, will cause premature aging of the screen center of the phosphor, resulting in a marked center of the screen dark spots.This failure to disassemble, repair.



15,Monitor power indicator light, but no images

â‘  just power-charging when the sound pressure, while the power indicator is green, too, after about 5-10 seconds, the indicator light turns orange, and accompanied by loss of high-pressure "creak La La" sound.Then about 15 monitors can be judged is the core of the data lines, line or field sync signal line (13 or 14 gauge needle) has a broken one, so that the display did not mistakenly believe that the host sent the signal, over 4-5 seconds automatically enter low power saving state.

â‘¡ high voltage charge when power is not the voice, even remove the signal line, power indicator light is always green.This is generally line scanning circuit fault, did not produce high pressure.

â‘¢ When a high voltage power-charged voice, no image on the screen, remove the signal line, the power indicator to orange after a while, and accompanied by high-pressure discharge sound.Circuit fault for this situation, CRT is generally not coupled with a certain voltage, then you can look, CRT's filament is not bright.Also possible that the gate voltage is not added.



16,Display the menu settings can not be stored

After each turn needs to adjust the display settings, adjusted to normal use, but data loss after shutdown.This is the display of the memory circuit is faulty, can not save the current settings.When the display memory circuit fails, there are other strange fault phenomena, such as images can not be transferred light (dark), can not transfer full screen, color cast and so on.

Alternative Source Of Energy From Nuclear Power

Many researchers believe that harnessing the power of the atom in fission reactions is the most significant alternative energy resource that we have, for the fact of the immense power that it can generate.


Nuclear power plants are very “clean-burning” and their efficiency is rather staggering. Nuclear power is generated at 80% efficiency, meaning that the energy produced by the fission reactions is almost equal to the energy put into producing the fission reactions in the first place. There is not a lot of waste material generated by nuclear fission—although, due to the fact that there is no such thing as creating energy without also creating some measure of waste, there is some. The concerns of people such as environmentalists with regards to using nuclear power as an alternative energy source center around this waste, which is radioactive gases which have to be contained.


The radiation from these gases lasts for an extraordinarily long time, so it can never be released once contained and stored. However, the volume of this waste gas produced by the nuclear power plants is small in comparison to how much NOx (nitrous oxide—that is, air pollution) is caused by one day's worth of rush-hour traffic in Los Angeles. While the radiation is certainly the more deadly by far of the two waste materials, the radiation is also by far the easier of the two to contain and store. In spite of the concerns of the environmentalists, nuclear power is actually environmentally friendly alternative energy, and the risk of the contained radiation getting out is actually quite low. With a relatively low volume of waste material produced, it should not be a difficult thing at all for storage and disposal solutions for the long term to be developed as technology advances.


The splitting of an atom releases energy in the forms of both heat and light. Atomic power plants control the fission reactions so that they don't result in the devastating explosions that are brought forth in atomic and hydrogen bombs. There is no chance of an atomic power plant exploding like a nuclear bomb, as the specialized conditions and the pure Plutonium used to unleash an atomic bomb's vicious force simply don't exist inside a nuclear power plant. The risk of a “meltdown” is very low. Although this latter event has happened a couple of times, when one considers that there are over 430 nuclear reactors spread out across 33 nations, and that nuclear reactors have been in use since the early 1950s, these are rare occurrences, and the events of that nature which have taken place were the fault of outdated materials which should have been properly kept up. Indeed, if nuclear energy could become a more widely accepted form of alternative energy, there would be little question of their upkeep being maintained. Currently, six states in America generate more than half of all their electrical energy needs through nuclear power, and the media are not filled with gruesome horror stories of the power plants constantly having problems.

Welding Helmets - Safety, Work Freely And Produce Better Results

Being in a highly specialized and dangerous profession, welding professionals are always advised to wear protective gear including welding helmets to ensure that they do not meet any unfortunate accident.

While on a welding or repairs job, a welding helmet offers a welder the much needed protection to safeguard his eyes, face and neck against the risk of flash burns, sparks and excessive heat. A welding helmet has many benefits and the most important one is that it prevents arc eye and retina burns which are not only painful but can also even lead to a complete loss of vision. A welding helmet can protect one’s eyes against both these conditions, arc eye and retina burns, where the cornea gets inflamed due to direct exposure to the highly concentrated ultraviolet and infrared rays emitted by the welding arc.

Apart from these safety benefits, welding helmets serve many other purposes as well. While increasing the safety for the welders, welding helmets also improve upon their confidence leading to better welding ability resulting in higher quality welds. A welding helmet ensures safety for welders and helps them to work freely and produce better results.

Selecting a suitable welding helmet can be difficult if one is not familiar with the latest lens technology and national safety standards. Some key points should be kept in mind before you decide upon the welding helmet to purchase as it is the most important piece of safety gear.

The first point to take note of is to decide what type of lens is the most suitable for you - standard or passive. Standard welding helmets are less expensive can prove difficult to manage for beginners as they might find it hard to correctly position the welding gun or the torch after lowering the welding helmet in place. One might also find a standard welding helmet hard to manage when welding in difficult place like under a car. Standard welding helmet may also cause a bit if neck discomfort.

Passive welding helmets or auto-darkening welding helmets offer better abilities to the welders. Passive welding helmets are equipped with electric filter lens and adjustable features to make welding an easier job. Most of the passive welding helmets are powered by a combination of battery and solar power and several light sensors are mounted near the lens to detect the welding arc. Once an arc is initiated, the lens gets darkened hundred times faster than a blink of an eye.

As such, it is necessary for welders to choose the best possible welding helmet and not compromise on the quality or functions of the welding helmet.

Tattoos - Tips And Tricks

Did you know that you can possibly remove your tattoos and piercing manually? There are moments in a life of a person that he wanted to get a tattoo, and some time late in his life would want to remove the tattoo. Someone or something really in the life of a tattooed person might motivate him or her to get rid of the tattoos. Removing tattoos is possible. Though, there tattoo colors that are very difficult to eradicate. Black however, is the easiest to be removed. A person may persevere to get away with his tattoo manually but the process is similar to scraping the skin, which is harmful and can be infectious. Some scars are likely to be left during the removal of the tattooed skin. Aside from pain which one must endure during the removal of tattoo, the procedure is expensive. Deciding to remove either tattoos or piercings manually must be done wisely. Better yet, if you are not confident about the manual or self-removal of tattoos and piercing, look for better means of removing them that guarantee your safety. Some can heal their piercing in the long run, if no heavy jewelry is dangled in it. In other words, it was left without any jewels being put on which would enlarge the whole.

Did you know why some people decide to remove their tattoos and piercing? There are individuals who during their lifetime, would come across to a lifes turning point and for some personally determined reasons would have new love interests, paradigm and fashion statement shift or the realization that a tattoo and piercing are not their edge points for better employment or job opportunities. In their lives, they come across to a realization that even without the body piercing and body tattoo, they can also become distinctly themselves unique, vibrant and with individualized identity. The teens during the puberty age must counter identity crises; otherwise they would carry the unsettled crises even during their later stages. When a person has bumped with the reality that body art isnt after all good to everyones eyes, s/he may still remove his tattoos and piercings in order to be better acceptable in the society. Nowadays, most of the human races or groups are no longer much linked to tattoos and piercings as their ceremonial rites, instead, these two become options of arts or interests. There are consequences however, if one would choose to remove his tattoos and piercing. The pains are bearable especially if the interested persons are strongly driven by his will to please his or her love interest, new affiliations and the likes.

Did you know of issues which you have to consider in having you piercings be removed? Are your pierced areas infected? If they are infected, then the removal of piercings seems impossible. The infection in this case, has its tendency to spread throughout the patients body. Whether you have acquired an infection or not from body piercing, you need to consult a health care professional for immediate treatment. The medical consultation must be done prior to the removal of the body piercing. To those who had nostril piercings, they have to be carefully guided of the probable health outcome when infection occurs because the pierced body part is prone to worse cases of infections. Removing a piercing may leave a permanent reminder of the piercing, a keloid. Closing a pierced nostril or eyebrow will likely result to a lifetime scar. Whenever you have first decided to have a part of your body be pierced, bear in mind if that part is safe to be pierced. Consider the potential infections and the consequences if you would think of removing it years after. These issues must be given to the patients as part of orientation about what they are entering into the life of a person with piercing. Body piercing is a choice but it must be a carefully thought and planned product of the freewill.

Did you know that Body Piercing and Body Tattoo are not only a fashion? Why do many people choose to have body piercing and tattoos? Are they not threatened by the danger the pierces and tattoos can bring forth their health? Popularity of these body arts must not only be the stimulus that prompts many to try these body modifications as well. The royalty and the courage that body piercing and tattoos are associated with, also had influenced the Egyptian Pharaohs to pierce their navels as a rite of passage, the Roman soldiers show their manhood through pierced nipples, Mayas show their spiritual rituals through pierced tongues, Victorians pierced their nipples and or genitals and other people do other body markings for other rites aside from fashion purposes. Out of being a spiritual rite, a number of natives do avail any piercing and tattooing on their body parts. Because, these have been practiced for centuries, they are hard to be refuted in aspects that involve sanitation of the materials used. Either for the sake of fashion or rites, the persons who want to have body tattoos or piercing must be forewarned of the effects these would do unto their body instead of just blindly following the norms or the fashion of the contemporary times.

Did you know of factors that impede the easier removal of tattoo? The removal of tattoo is not at all easy and possible in one session. Its complete removal, however, is difficult because of some factors. The age of tattoo is one of the factors. If a person has acquired the tattoo for almost three to five decades, the tendency to remove the colors or ink of the tattoo becomes a big challenge. The size of the tattoo and inks types and colors are also few of the factors that make the removal of tattoo a bit hard. A dermatologist can help resolve your worries about your tattoo and how it can be better removed. Your dermatologist can prescribe anesthesia if s/he found out that you need it. In addition, the dermatologist can inform you if all of your tattoos have the possibility to be removed. The process of removing the tattoo does not take an overnight process; rather the whole process reaches for about several months. The removal experience of tattoo is almost likened to getting a new tattoo because of almost similar pains. The removed tattoo become a wound part and must be scrupulously looked after and not be scrubbed or rubbed. Tattoo is supposedly designed for permanence but if you may still have it remove when you decide it only that the whole removal procedure is worse than the first time you had your body tattoo.

Gun Safety

There are 21,700,000 websites on the subject of GUN safety. If that doesn’t tell you just how important this subject isÂ…nothing will! Police Departments all around the country, medical groups, gun safety organizations (including the NRA), and thousands of other agencies, organizations, and associations have all dedicated websites to this subject.

Articles appear discussing the 10 commandments of gun safety, 47 rules of gun safety, what kids should be taught about gun safety, what parents should know about gun safety, and millions of other helpful hints, tips, rules, commandments, etc.

ButÂ… there is one common theme that is present in every article referencing gun safety and that is thisÂ… if you have a gun in your home it should be stored in a gun safe or minivault, you should have a trigger lock for your gun, ammunition should be stored in a separate place, and you should keep the key in a safe place where no one can find it but you!

• How else do you account for the fact that over 40,000 kids bring a gun to school each year?
• How else do you account for the fact that there are almost as many deaths each year from gunshot wounds as by auto accidents?
• How else do you account for the fact that most teen suicides are caused by guns?

In a modern world where guns and gun violence can be seen virtually every minute of every day on TV, in the movies, and on video games, what message are we sending if we fail to educate and inform our children about gun safety?

When do we start? Experts tell us that when a child is first aware that guns exist is the time for the education process to begin. None of us would ever let our small kids play on a busy street. But many of us, especially those of us who have guns in our homes, wait until it is way too late to talk to our kids about gun safety. Is there anything more inquisitive than a child? Thinking back to when we were kids ourselves, what is one of the absolutely first things we did when we were left alone? We started to explore! Honestly now, didn’t you know where more things were in your house than your parents did? Weren’t they always asking you where something was? Well, not much has changed in the meantime!

If you have a gun stored in a dresser drawerÂ…get a gun safe!

If you have a gun hidden under your pillowÂ…get a gun safe!

If you have a gun sitting on top of the refrigeratorÂ…get a gun safe!

I have spent the better part of my career as a Public Safety Director. The amount of times that my Police Department responded to calls for service where a gun was involved is staggering! I learned several very important lessons:

• Guns and alcohol do not mix.
• Guns and depression do not mix.
• Guns and domestic altercations do not mix.
• Guns and children do not mix.
• And finallyÂ…and most importantlyÂ…you do not get a second chance to do the right thing!

You have a chance to do the right thing today! If you don’t have one, get a gun safe or minivault. If a close friend, relative or neighbor you know has a gun, these also make excellent gifts and show that you care. An old axiom states that there are lies, damned lies, and statistics! Don’t let someone you love become a statistic. Secure your gun---TODAY!

How To Make Garden Compost

Does the thought of making making compost make you cringe?

Learning how to make garden compost can be easy and rewarding and does not have to be complex. All you need are the ingredients and let nature takes it's course. Add in a little know how and you have the winning combination for making your own compost.

Making your own garden compost is good for your garden, wallet and environment. Using our waste is a great way to recycle.

Compost is the left over material that you get when organic waste items decompose. Creating a bin or pile in your backyard saves our waste from being in a landfill where they can take longer to decompose. Creating a compost pile for your garden helps the waste items to decompose faster all while recycling.

Most of the raw materials that go into your pile or bin, come directly from the yard and or garden. By using this material, we cut back on the amount of waste that we send to the landfill, and this is an excellent way to reduce yard waste while producing a valuable material for improving your soil. This is both good for the environment and good for our wallets.

Yard waste accounts for more than 20 percent of all trash in landfills and food scraps make up ten percent of your waste. You can even purchase a kitchen bin to collect your kitchen scraps.

Depending on your preferences, you can have a pile or a bin. As simple or elaborate as you want.

The Ultimate Garden Compost should be a balance between greens and browns.

Greens

* Tea bags;
* Grass cuttings;
* Vegetable peelings;
* Old flowers;
* Fruit scraps;
* Nettles;
* Coffee grounds & filter paper;
* Old bedding plants;
* Pond algae & seaweed.

Browns

* Egg shells - crush them first;
* Egg boxes;
* Cereal boxes;
* Corrugated cardboard packaging;
* Newspaper - scrunched up;
* Toilet & kitchen roll tubes;
* Garden prunings;
* Dry leaves, twigs & hedge clippings;
* Straw & hay;
* Bedding from vegetarian pets;
* Wool;
* Ashes from wood, paper or lumpwood charcoal;
* Cotton threads;
* String;
* Tumble dryer lint - from natual fibre clothes such as cotton or wool;
* Shredded paper.

Some things not to use in your Garden Compost

* Bones
* Grease and Oil
* Dog & Cat Manure
* Cheese
* Chicken
* Fat
* Fish scraps
* Milk
* Meat
* Noxious weeds

A properly made compost heap will reach a temperature of 140 degrees to 160 degrees F in one to two weeks. At this time, you will notice the pile settling-a good sign that the heap is working properly.

Five to six weeks later, transfer the materials into a new pile. When doing this, turn the outside of the old heap into the center of the new pile. Add water if necessary.

The compost material should be ready to use in your yard or garden within three to four months after you first constructed the pile. A heap started in late spring can be ready for use in the autumn. Then you can start another heap in autumn for use in the spring.ready to use compost

Compost is ready to use when it is dark, brown, and crumbly, with an earthy odor. Let it stabilize a few extra days, and screen it through a ½-inch screen if you want the finest product. To use the compost, turn your soil, apply a 1- to 3-inch layer of compost, and work it in well.

"There is nothing better than getting your hands in the soil and watching your plants grow!!! Getting a fresh healthy organic vegetable off the vine, doesn't get any better than that!!!"

Workplace Safety Tips - Attitude and Behavior the Keys to Improve Safety

safety is about company policies and procedures. It's even more about people; more specifically, your employees' natural behavioral style and safety attitude at work.

Training plays an important role in workplace safety. But who your workers are, not just what they do, may be even more significant according to a 1993 study conducted by

Behavioral-Values Research Associates.

SAFETY STUDIES

The research was conducted on railway maintenance workers. Participants were given four assessments that measured their knowledge of safety rules, their pictorial and mechanical reasoning abilities, and their behavior and attitude. The study shows the only significant differences between two groups of workers (injured vs. non-injured) were in their behavioral styles and attitudes/values.

The research validates that when companies implement a pre-hiring employee assessment selection system, four things occur. These companies:

• Reduce accident costs and risk
• Reduce worker's comp claims
• Reduce employee turnover
• Improve profitability

By utilizing this system when hiring drivers, G & P Trucking in South Carolina reduced accident costs and cut its accident rate in half over five years. G & P President, Clifton Parker says, "We are doing a better job during the hiring process. The behavioral testing has given us insight on the applicants' true beliefs and actions rather than finding out later. The bottom line is that it has helped us lower accident cost."

Common sense tells us that people who are naturally careful and cautious are going to cause fewer accidents than those who are impatient and short-tempered by nature. The BVRA research concluded the safest workers are those who are steady and cautious and who genuinely put others' well being above their own.

The safety studies found workers with the best safety records are those who are high in the "S" and "C" behavioral styles and low in the "D" factor. They are also high in the Social value.

DISC BEHAVIOR, VALUES, AND SAFETY

In 1928, Harvard psychologist William Moulton Marston defined the four DISC behavior styles we all have. Around the same time, psychologist Eduard Spranger published his studies of six values that determine our motivation attitude. Target Training International in Scottsdale, AZ, continued their research and produced the first computer-generated attitude and behavior DISC assessment that companies use today to hire, develop, and retain superior performers. This was the assessment used in the BVRA research project.

The four behavioral styles are:

• D-Dominant
• I-Influencing
• S-Steady
• C-Cautious

Those high in the "D" factor want control, they are quick to anger, and become impatient easily. They are the ones most likely to cause accidents.

Those high in the "I" behavioral factor are extroverted and people oriented; they talk a lot and like attention. The research found no significant difference in the "I" factor between the injured and non-injured workers.

People high in the "S" factor are steady and patient, they move slowly, and have a strong focus on their team's success. Safety and security are of utmost importance to them.

Those high in the "C" factor are extremely cautious and detail-oriented, and adamantly follow rules set by others.

So, it's understandable that workers high in both the "S" and "C" factors and low in the "D" style will have or cause fewer accidents.

It's also significant that research shows those high in the Social value are the safest workers because they selflessly put others' needs above their own. It's also important that they rank low in the Individualistic Value. Even more than those with Core "D" behavioral styles, people high in this value are passionate about having power and control over situations and other people.

Simply put, the worker you want to hire when safety is crucial is one who is high in the "S" and "C" factors, low in the "D" factor, high in the Social value, and low in the Individualistic attitude.

Understanding each of your employee’s innate behavior and attitude is the key to improving safety in the workplace.

Workplace Personal Injury Cases: Can You Recognize Them?

The workplace can be a dangerous place, even if you work in an office instead of a warehouse. Injuries happen for a variety of reasons, whether it be inattention to a Wet Floor sign, forgetfulness to close that overhead cabinet door, or simply a fall in the parking lot on a rainy morning. Often times, an employee doesn't realize the severity of an injury when it happens. The likelihood that they don't want to be embarrassed sometimes covers the fact that they have been injured and need medical attention. Many large employers have a small medical staff to lend assistance in these situations, but they may not be the best choice to evaluate an injury if specific tests (such as an x-ray) are needed. Employers may attempt, as a part of routine policy, to have employees sign waivers of liability when an accident occurs. But since this is typically a form that will limit the employee's right to be evaluated by an independent doctor or medical facility and should be reviewed very carefully before signing. If signed, it may prevent recouping medical expenses when an injury causes problems down the road (days, or even years) after initial treatment. This is where a personal injury attorney can assist in determining if a personal injury claim is warranted, and if so, can provide legal assistance in filing and litigating the claim.

Many types of injuries may require the professional assistance of a personal injury lawyer to ensure a fair and proper settlement. Not only can personal injuries occur to the body, but to the mind, spirit and emotional well being of a person as well. These factors need to be considered when determining the amount of potential compensation a company may offer to an injured employee. Those who are injured often do not consider the fact that a long period of recovery is may be required and that may include the assistance of medical personnel at an additional cost. By consulting with a personal injury attorney, these costs can be discussed and may be able to be recovered in full or even via a partial reimbursement.

An attorney who specializes in the specific type of injury can offer legal guidance with an overview as to the types of treatments available before and after any statute of limitations has expired. For example, in recent years repetitive stress injuries, such as those that develop from overuse of typing, are becoming more common as people use computers more at both the workplace and at home. Damage caused to the upper extremities (arms, wrists and fingers) can often require long-term treatment with braces, supports or even surgery. Since individuals utilize their private insurance benefits to pay for these expenses, they do not realize a personal injury claim may be warranted. A personal injury lawyer can provide legal guidance in these types of situations.

Legal guidance from a personal injury attorney is essential and should be utilized before signing any type of document from an insurance company.

Learn about Welding Safety and Welding Arc Flash

When you are working with a welder there is always the potential for Arc Flash. Anything that you do that works with electricity can do this and it can be a deadly process. Arc flash can happen on a large or small scale, and depending on the welder's safety precautions, it can cause severe burns or be deadly.

An Arc flash happens when there is a fault somewhere in an area where the welder is working. A quick and sudden amount of light energy and heat are released and if the welder is standing in the way, they can receive intense burns or the arc flash can be fatal.

This flash can also destroy equipment, cause eye problems and hurt people within a large radius from where it happened. In order to understand what this may look like, think about a large bolt of lightening that comes down and hits something on the prairie. This arc of light could explode the material that it hits upon and cause a lot of damage to that material.

This is basically what happens in an arc flash. This does not have to happen on a large scale only because you can also suffer from it when you are not using the correct safety equipment when you are welding.

The welder will expose themselves to UV rays that can hurt the surface of your cornea. Sometimes you don't know that this has happened until your eyes begin to feel warm. You may not know it until the next day when you have pain in the eyes. This pain can feel as though you have fractured glass in your eyes.

When you are doing welding it is very important to use a welding lens shade that is at least a number 5 and should be worn within 20 feet of the welding that is being done. If you are standing within 10 feet then you should use a number 9 lens.

Normal arc flashes can also expose you to fumes and toxic gases so it is crucial to your survival to make sure you are in an area that is well ventilated when you are doing your work.

It is equally important to make sure that your equipment is functioning properly because often an arc flash is cased by faulty equipment. You will need to check enclosed systems also because these can cause a problem because some electrical equipment can become energized when it is faulty.

There are a variety of products that can help you resolve issues of arc flash as long as the equipment is working properly, but they only work if the welder will use them. You can get specially insulated gloves, rubber roll blankets (that allow you to isolate the area that you are working within) and carbonX clothing for protection.

Although arc flash can be deadly when it happens, knowing the safety precautions needed can help you get out of the way and be safer. It is wise to know the consequences of arc flash and how to prevent it as much as possible.

Tips For Raising and Breeding Cichlid Fry

Every guide you read about breeding cichlids and raising their fry will tell you that water quality is the most critical factor. More or less if you have the basics right then this is excellent advice. To expand on this idea with a little more depth this article is going to look into a couple of the lesser understood factors that affect the quality and health of your cichlid fry and their mother.

Cichlid Fry Aquarium Tips

· Keeping a slightly higher water temperature will shorten the number of days the mother holds her fry before releasing, the fry will develop faster and lose their sack earlier. Slightly higher water temperature means one or two degrees above your species average recommended temperature and no more. Further to this, you should only expect the duration of holding to be reduced by a day or two.

· Particularly if the mother is in your display or community aquarium it is important to make sure there is adequate water movement throughout the aquarium. The mother will be looking to hide in caves and crevices where she can protect her fry, the water in these parts of the aquarium should not be stagnant. You can increase water flow with a power head and consider the outlet of your filter system. Within reason you can't really have too much water movement in your aquarium.

· If using a floating isolation aquarium to raise your cichlid fry then consider an air stone inside the floating aquarium to assist with water movement. You will ideally be feeding the fry four quick and small meals a day, they are growing quickly and will be generating plenty of waste. I find the best floating aquariums have large holes that can be covered with mesh when the cichlid fry are very small, the mesh can later be removed once the fry have grown in size and are producing more waste.

· The PH of your water is critical and should reflect your species natural environment as best possible. The PH should also be stable and you should know how much buffer you are adding to tap water with each water change. Cichlids require a relatively high PH and providing this on an ongoing basis can be very beneficial.

· Further to the idea of replicating the species natural environment, consider the use of lake salts. These can be purchased for Lake Malawi, Lake Victoria and Lake Tanganyika aquariums, they provide trace minerals found in the wild along with the benefits that salts give to your aquarium. At the very least the additional salts will provide some extra resistance against disease and some fungi.

· Perhaps the best and most underutilised tip is to feed your new born cichlid fry with baby brine shrimp and blood worm, although you can get away with crushing flake and miniature cichlid granules, the difference in growth rate is amazing. Brine shrimp can be grown in small containers at home and you should be able to pick up a starter kit at your local fish store.
